There is an existing road remnant, mainly contained within a 33 foot wide strip, that provides access to the peninsula. This 33 foot wide strip is approximately 1,750 feet in length. In the past, it provided access to a cabin. The cabin has been demolished, and only the foundation remains. The applicant is proposing to upgrade the access into a driveway which will provide access for a future single family residence which will be built on the peninsula. The 33 foot wide strip is bordered by two wetlands. One of the wetlands is located approximately 155 feet from Lake Lucy Road. This wetland is characterized as a seasonally flooded palustrine emergent basin and a seasonally flooded palustrine forested broad leaved deciduous basin (Cowardin PEMC and PFO1C: Circular 39 Types 1 and 2 (seasonally flooded basin or flat bottom land hardwood and inland fresh meadow). The City of Chanhassen classifies this basin as agricultural/urban indicating that the basin has been impacted by development and has a low to moderate functional value. The driveway construction will fill approximately 0.05 acre of this wetland basin. The other wetland is located along the northern peninsula of Lake Lucy. This wetland is quite complex and is characterized as a semi-permanent to seasonally flooded to temporarily flooded palustrine emergent basin (Cowardin PEMF/C/A; Circular 39 Types 2/3/4 (inland fresh _ meadow/inland shallow fresh marsh/inland deep fresh marsh). The City of Chanhassen classifies this basin as natural indicating that the basin has retained most of its natural features and has a moderate to high functional value. The driveway construction will fill approximately 0.15 acre of this wetland basin. The proposed driveway near Lake Lucy has elevations below the ordinary high water mark (OHWM) for Lake Lucy which has been established at 956.10 feet. The Department of Natural Resources (DNR) prohibits any fill from taking place below the OHWM of a water body without a protected waters permit. The applicant will therefore be constructing a bridge across the area at and below the 956.10 elevation of Lake Lucy and has applied for a DNR protected waters permit. Upgrading the access into a driveway will require approximately 0.20 acre of fill which will be replaced. The total wetland mitigation area is approximately 0.30 acre. Mitigation will take place on Lot 4, Block 2, Lake Lucy Highland, which is owned by the applicants. There are some portions of the proposed driveway that are located outside the 33 foot wide strip and on neighboring property. The applicant must obtain a cross access easement to locate the driveway on the neighboring property or relocate it so that it is wholly contained on the property. Mark and Kathy Sanda November 17, 1993 Page 3 — The proposal is reasonable and staff is recommending approval with conditions outlined in the report. Permitting Agencies Minnesota Department of Natural Resources • One of the wetlands on the project site is shown on the DNR Protected Water Inventory; and — therefore, the proposed wetland fill in this area will require a permit from the DNR. Army Corps of Engineers • The wetlands on the project site are within the permitting jurisdiction of the Corps under Section 404 of the Clean Water Act. These basins are considered isolated for purposes of Corps permitting regulations. The Corps has issued a nationwide Section 404 permit for up to a half acre of fill in isolated wetlands without notification to the Corps and between a half acre and three acres in such basins with predischarge notification [see 33 CFR 330.5 (a)(26)(ii)]. The proposed amount of fill is approximately 0.20 acre, and therefore, the project should be covered under the nationwide Section 404 permit. It is recommended that the Corps be notified of the — activity in order to verify compliance with the permit. City and State Wetland Rules The City of Chanhassen has reviewed the proposed project to ensure compliance with the Wetland Conservation Act of 1991 and city ordinances. Responsibility for administering the provisions of this legislation falls to the City of Chanhassen as the LGU. We have reviewed the various exemptions contained in the Act and find that, unless the project has a pre-existing approved preliminary plat or other local governmental approval, none of the exemptions appear to apply. This being the case, the city must certify that the project has complied with the provisions of the Act that apply to the interim period. These provisions require that all wetland impacts incurred during this period be offset by wetland creation or restoration at a 1:1 acreage -- ratio and in the same watershed or county as the impact. The Act also dictates that restoration or creation of replacement wetlands only be considered after an applicant has demonstrated that the impacts cannot be avoided, further minimized, corrected or eliminated over time. In this — case, the requirements of the Act are essentially the same as those contained in the Corps rules. Even if impacts can be reduced to under one half acre in order to obtain a Corps nationwide permit, the City will still need to require the avoid-minimize-compensate sequence and the provision of 1:1 compensation. We have reviewed the proposal and concluded that there is no viable alternative to providing access to the platted lot. The driveway has been sensitively designed to utilize a bridge section Mark and Kathy Sanda November 17, 1993 Page 4 to minimize impact and provide mitigation in excess of the requested 1:1 ratio. Therefore, we find it to be acceptable. Miscellaneous There are some portions of the proposed driveway that are located outside the 33 foot wide strip and on neighboring property. The applicant must obtain a cross access easement to locate the driveway on the neighboring property. The Fire Marshall recommended that the bridge section be built to a 9 ton design to accommodate the weight of a fire truck. STAFF RECOMMENDATION Staff recommends that the Planning Commission adopt the following motion: "The Planning Commission recommends approval of Wetland Alteration Permit 93-4 as shown on the plans dated November 8, 1993, with the following conditions: 1. The mitigation area is intended to be similar to the existing basins and, therefore, should be designed to the extent possible to have bottom contours that approximate those of the existing basins. We recommend that the mitigation area be subcut to a depth 6-12 inches below the desired bottom elevation. The basins should then be lined with 6-12 inches of organic soils to be excavated from filled wetland areas. This lining of organic soils should provide a seed source sufficient to facilitate the establishment of wetland vegetation within the mitigation areas. Mitigation basins should be designed with irregular edges and irregular bottom contours. Side slopes should be no steeper than 5:1; side slopes of 10:1 or greater are preferable. If on-site soils demonstrate significant permeability, consideration should be given to lining mitigation areas with clay or other impervious materials prior to lining the basins with organic soils. 2. Notification should be made to the Corps to verify coverage under their nationwide Section 404 permit. — 3. A protected waters permit must be authorized by the DNR before the project can proceed. 4. If possible, the applicant or future landowner should minimize the amount of salts and de-icing chemicals applied to the driveway in order to protect the quality of the water running into the wetland areas. 5. It is advised that the applicant consult with a Soils Engineer to determine driveway design section through the wetland area. Mark and Kathy Sanda November 17, 1993 Page 5 — 6. The applicant shall obtain a cross access easement from neighboring properties where the driveway encroaches. 7. All retaining walls over 4 feet in height require a building permit. 8. The driveway will service one single family home. Only one residence will be permitted on the peninsula. 9. The wetland alteration permit will expire after one year from the date of City Council approval unless substantial construction on the driveway has taken place. 10. The applicant shall be responsible for all attorney fees associated with reviewing and recording this application. 11. The bridge section shall be built to a 9 ton design." ATTACHMENTS — 1.

The applicant, Lundgren Brothers Construction, Inc., is requesting rezoning from A-2 to PUD-R, preliminary PUD and preliminary plat approval for the Dolejsi and Rogers properties. The site is an 80.8 acre parcel located at the southeast corner of State Highway 101 and Lyman Boulevard on cultivated farmland. The proposal includes 134 single-family lots, right- of-way dedication for Lyman Boulevard, State Highway 101, and Lake Riley Boulevard, local road right-of-way within the project, and seven outlots. The project is bordered on the north — by Lyman Boulevard, on the west by State Highway 101, and on the east by Lake Riley Boulevard. The project is bordered on the south by Bandimere Community Park, Bandimere _ Heights Subdivision, and Sunny Slope Addition Subdivision. A five acre parcel belonging to Vencil G. Prewitt is located in the north central part of the project and is surrounded on three sides by the project boundaries. Four of the outlots (A, B, C, and E) are proposed for project _ identification monuments including signage, lighting, decorative architectural features and landscaping. Outlot D is proposed for an entrance monument and a stormwater treatment pond. Outlot F is the Dolejsi homesite and will remain in their possession. Outlot G is a — proposed 5.3 acre parcel to be dedicated to the City for park land. Flexibility permitted in a PUD is being used to allow for creativity in lot layout as well as _ protection for existing and proposed residents. Lots located along the perimeter of the project are larger in size to provide added setbacks, open space, scenic views, and buffering for the project. While the subdivision requirements prohibit double frontage lots, creating additional — lots fronting on Lake Riley Boulevard, a substandard street, would not be beneficial to the city or current residents. Additionally, the proposed development creates a sense of neighborhood that would be reduced if these lots were reversed to front on Lake Riley — Boulevard and be backed by an additional row of lots. These lots are also oversized, permitting additional separation. Smaller lots are located in the interior of the project. Lot frontages vary from 62 feet to 149 feet. Lot depths vary from 84 feet to 426 feet. Lot sizes — range from 11,004 square feet to 57,423 square feet. The average lot size of 17,814 square feet exceeds the standard lot size of 15,000 square feet by almost 19 percent. Primary access to the project is proposed via two curb cuts on Lyman Boulevard with a secondary internal connection to the south along Kiowa Trail. Kiowa Trail is an existing _ street that was anticipated to be connected to the north. This roadway is an extremely long dead end, which poses public safety concerns and as such staff feels compelled to recommend that this roadway be connected to provide an alternate outlet for current residents. This _ connection will also provide two means for city residents to access Bandimere Community Park. Internal streets are curvilinear and designed with fifty (50) foot right-of-ways. Stub roads are extended to the Prewitt property. (A development sketch illustrates a potential — Lundgren/Dolej si/Rogers November 3, 1993 Page 3 future road alignment and platting for the property.) No access is proposed onto Lake Riley Boulevard. We are also anticipating the upgrading of Lyman Boulevard as part of the utility extension that is being petitioned by surrounding property owners. Because this property is being farmed, there are little if any natural features to be protected. A small wetland exists in the extreme northeast corner of the site that will be retained. Currently, there are serious stormwater drainage problems to the north and south of this property resulting from stormwater runoff from the site. The applicant's proposal provides measures to resolve these conditions and improve both stormwater retention and treatment. The applicant's improvements conform to those shown in the Stormwater Management Plan. The few trees on the site (22 total) are located along the eastern perimeter of the property. Of these trees, only two, a 25 inch diameter American Hackberry and a 31 inch diameter Red Maple, are included in the City's landscaping tree list. Because of the location of the these trees, it will be possible to retain all trees through the development process. A wooded area — included in the southern finger of the project can be saved if the proposed stormwater outflow pipe can be relocated to the east as recommended by staff. In summary, the proposal represents a subdivision design utilizing the flexibility inherent in a PUD to provide protection to existing and proposed residents by creating larger lots on the perimeter of the project adjacent to major roadways and existing subdivisions and locating smaller lots within the interior of the project. This development provides a variety of lot sizes and potential for diversity in housing designs not available in a standard subdivision. The average lot size for the 134 lots proposed is 17,814, which represents a net density of 2.44 units per acre, well within the density range permitted in the comprehensive plan. The applicant is requesting a side yard setback variance from the standard ten foot setback requirement. They are proposing six (6) foot garage and nine (9) foot living area setbacks with a minimum twenty (20) foot separation between structures. Staff is recommending that the project be approved for rezoning, preliminary PUD plan and preliminary plat approval subject to appropriate conditions and stipulated revisions. However, the setback variance request is not supported by unique physical characteristics of the site or protection of environmental features and should be denied. We have also recommended that an access to Lake Riley Boulevard be provided in the southeast corner of the development to improve access into this area. Lake Riley Boulevard is an unusually long dead end street built to inadequate standards. The City's fire marshal has also raised the concern that this inadequacy creates serious safety implications for the residents of the cul-de-sac. Staff does not expect that this connection will be used extensively by residents of this development. Rather existing residents will be provided an additional ingress/egress to their homes. While staff is not completely convinced that the connection to Kiowa Trail will pose the grave consequences to the Kiowa Neighborhood as mentioned by the residents at the first Planning Commission meeting, we do agree that their arguments about increased traffic Lundgren/Dole j si/Rogers November 3, 1993 Page 4 — through the neighborhood have merit, at least until Highway 212 is built. As you may remember, Kiowa residents were concerned that this roadway connection would substantially — increase the number of through trips using Kiowa Trail to access Pioneer Trail, creating unsafe conditions for current residents and corrupting the integrity of the neighborhood. To address this, staff is recommending that this connection be constructed as temporary back-to- — back cul-de-sacs with a breakaway traffic barricade until such time as Highway 212 is constructed or until petitioned by the residents of the area to take down the barricade and connect the two road segments. The former provision is due to the fact that traffic patterns will change with the opening of Highway 212 since most people will use the fastest and most convenient route for travel. The latter is included so that area residents may change their minds about the connection when roadway improvements change individual travel routes. The northern cul-de-sac shall be constructed so that pavement is extended to the property line of the development. We are faced with a dilemma with this recommendation. How do we provide access to the existing driveway at the end of Kiowa Trail? (It should be noted that this driveway does not meet the City's standard for a seven ton design, twenty feet of pavement, within a 30 foot — easement, with turnaround area acceptable to the fire marshal.) There is no recorded easement for these properties, yet this is an existing condition. It is assumed that the northern cul-de-sac will be off-set to the east on the Doleisi homesite. Will this design eliminate the — driveway and force these homes to access through the Lundgren project? The end of Kiowa Trail does not currently have a standard turn around for emergency vehicles. Who will build the new cul-de-sac? (The Lundgren project gets no benefit from this cul-de-sac and should — not have to build both.) Finally, this area will provide an eastern entrance to Bandimere Park. Without a through roadway, there is no reason for the City to provide a parking area in the vicinity. However, once the park is developed, people will want to park on the east side of Bandimere Park and they will use the road right-of-way for a parking lot congesting the end of the cul-de-sacs. Staff is still convinced that the Lake Riley Boulevard connection is an important safety improvement for the existing neighborhood reducing by approximately one half the length of the dead end street. Because Lake Riley Boulevard is a dead end street, there is no reason for people, other than Lake Riley and Sunny Slope residents, to use this roadway. The argument that individuals will use this road as a short cut around Lake Riley is spurious, — since the route is circular, over substandard roads, and connecting to roadways that are more conveniently accessed through other roads (see attached area roads map). This connection provides added benefits to the residents along Lake Riley Boulevard and Deerfoot Trail and only marginal benefit to the proposed subdivision. Finally, staff believes that the use of a PUD for this project is appropriate because of the — flexibility provided to the developer to create a subdivision with diversity, variety, and enhanced housing opportunities. Additionally, the City may add controls and conditions for Lundgren/Dolejsi/Rogers November 3, 1993 Page 5 open space, setback, and site amenities that are not possible through the standard subdivision process. SITE CHARACTERISTICS _ The site features rolling farmland with steep slopes at the northeastern corner transitioning into a wetland at the southwest corner of Lyman Boulevard and Lake Riley Boulevard. This wetland is characterized as Ag/Urban having been significantly altered by urban development and agricultural drainage. Increased slopes are also present abutting the Sunny Slopes Addition subdivision in the southeast boundary of the project. A Williams Brothers pipeline and easement runs from the northwest to the southeast on the western edge of the development. Surrounding land uses include: NORTH: Lyman Boulevard. Large lots on Agricultural Estate (A-2) property as well as some farmed lands. Additional vacant lands are zoned Residential Single Family (RSF). Two wetland areas, one Natural and the other Ag/Urban are located north of Lyman Boulevard. SOUTH: A single-family home and Bandimere Community Park on land zoned A-2; Bandimere Heights and Shore Acres Subdivision on property zoned RSF; and Sunny Slope Addition on property zoned PUD-R. EAST: Lake Riley Boulevard, Shore Acres Subdivision and Rogers Addition on property zoned RSF. WEST: State Highway 101 and farmland on property zoned A-2. BACKGROUND The site and the land to the north were incorporated into the MUSA line under the 1991 comprehensive plan update. The property is currently being used to cultivate crops. REZONING TO PUD Section 20-501 of the City Code provides a general intent statement for planned unit developments. "Planned unit developments offer enhanced flexibility to develop a site through the relaxation of most normal zoning district standards. The use of the PUD zoning allows for a greater variety of uses, internal transfers of density, construction phasing, and a potential for lower development costs. In exchange for this enhanced flexibility, the city has the expectation that the development plan will result in significantly Lundgren/Dolej si/Rogers November 3, 1993 Page 6 higher Quality and more sensitive proposal than would have been the case with the use of other, more standard zoning districts. It will be the applicants f sic] responsibility to demonstrate that the city's expectation are to be realized as evaluated against the following criteria. Planned unit developments are to encourage the following:" Finding The City and the developer gain diversity and enhanced development plans through the use of the PUD. While the City relaxes normal zoning district standards which benefit the developer, the net result is a development that provides greater open space through larger setback requirements and larger lots around the perimeter and site landscaping and buffering, variety in lot sizes which will permit a diversity of housing types, and neighborhood enhancement for the residents of the subdivision (1) Preservation of desirable site characteristics and open space and protection of sensitive environmental features, including steep slopes, mature trees, creeks, wetlands, lakes and scenic views. Finding The site is bordered on the north and west by Lyman Boulevard and Highway 101. These roads are shown as collector and minor arterial, respectively, on the City's comprehensive plan. Siting of homes adjacent to these roadways would be undesirable without providing additional lot sizes to buffer the future residents of the site from traffic. Additionally, a Williams Brothers pipeline runs through the rear yards of the lots on the western edge of the project. These lots are being oversized to accommodate the development of the lots. Larger lots are also being provided along the eastern and southern perimeter of the site abutting existing subdivisions. The few trees on site, the steep slope in the northeast corner, and the wetland will all be protected due to the larger size of lots in these areas. The flexibility inherent in the PUD permits the developer to plat these larger lots to the benefit of the existing neighborhood as well as for future residents. The perimeter lots will provide a sense of open space and scenic views around the project. As a discussion item, staff would like the Planning Commission to look at the possibility of requiring a reforestation program as part of the development for these larger lots along the perimeter of the project. This could provide an additional benefit for the City as well as the future residents of the subdivision. (2) More efficient and effective use of land, open space and public facilities through mixing of land uses and assembly and development of land in larger parcels. Lundgren/Dolejsi/Rogers November 3, 1993 Page 7 Finding The PUD allows location of smaller lots in the interior of the project and larger lots on the perimeter. PUD flexibility is used to locate home sites in areas where their impact will be minimized. The project proposes varied lot sizes, thereby creating diversity within the subdivision. (3) High quality of design and design compatible with surrounding land uses, including both existing and planned. Site planning, landscaping and building architecture should reflect high quality design than is found elsewhere in the community. Finding The applicant is proposing a high quality residential development with quality homes. The applicant has taken into account surrounding land uses by locating larger lots adjacent to existing uses. This is a residential development in the middle of existing residential subdivisions. This site layout provides lots that are generally larger than surrounding lots along the perimeter with the interior, smaller lots being screened from view from outside of the development. This development will be virtually indistinguishable from other typical subdivisions in the city. Additionally, the PUD zoning permits the city to require more extensive landscaping, buffering, and berming around the perimeter of the site than would be possible through the standard subdivision process. This requirement provides benefits for both current and future residents of the area. _ (4) Sensitive development in transitional areas located between different land uses and along significant corridors within the city. Finding The land uses adjacent to the site are also residential. Transitional development is not really a factor with this proposal since existing and proposed development is single family residential. Even though the development is residential, the PUD permits the city to require additional landscaping and buffering to separate this development from existing subdivisions thereby allowing the existing neighborhoods to maintain their sense of identity. However, it should be pointed out that any sense of identity for these neighborhoods is a result of their isolation - due to long dead end streets, rather than any specific architectural styles or historic significance since many homes in the area have been recently remodeled or expanded. The developer is also providing lots around the perimeter that are generally larger than existing home sites in the area. The PUD, through the use of lot size averaging, permits this type of development. Lundgren/Dolej si/Rogers November 3, 1993 _ Page 8 (5) Development which is consistent with the comprehensive plan. Finding The development is consistent with the Comprehensive Plan which designates the property as residential low density (1.2 - 4 units/acre). The proposal has a net density (minus outlots and roads) of 2.44 units/acre. This is below the density of development had the developer created 15,000 square foot lots, as provided for in a standard subdivision, which represents a density of 2.9 units per acre. This compares favorably with typical single family development in Chanhassen which has an average net density of 2 units per acre. If the outlots are included in the tabulation of density, the result is 2.13 units per acre. The site was included in the recent Comprehensive Plan amendment for development with sewer and water and as a single family development. The applicant is also providing right- of-way for State Highway 101 and Lyman Boulevard which are shown as a minor arterial and a collector roadway, respectively, in the comprehensive plan. — (6) Parks and open space. The creation of public open space may be required by the city. Such park and open space shall be consistent with the comprehensive park plan and — overall trail plan. Finding — The applicant is dedicating 5.3 acres of park land adjacent to Bandimere Community Park which will be added to the 36 acres the City currently possesses. The City is also proposing the provision of a small trail segment in the southeast quadrant of the site to facilitate pedestrian and bicycle access to Bandimere Park as well as pedestrian connections from within the project to the park site. (7) Provision of housing affordable to all income groups if appropriate within the PUD. Finding The applicant is proposing a variety of lot sizes and housing units. This variety in lot size and the corresponding housing types provides an opportunity for the provision of housing for a wider range of income groups than would be possible with standard lot sizes or with oversized lots only. However, it will be contingent on the developer to verify this is a legitimate claim. Staff has provided a discussion item that would have the developer set aside a percentage of the project for moderate income individuals and family. Overall, staff anticipates that the sites will be affordable to medium - medium/high incomes. The Lundgren!Dolej si/Rogers November 3, 1993 Page 9 surrounding uses and potential future surrounding uses are consistent with what is being proposed. This project is not designed to address lower cost housing opportunities. The city is investigating this issue and is considering direct financial support to encourage its construction since the free market is unable to meet this demand. (8) Energy conservation through the use of more efficient building designs and sightings and the clustering of buildings and land uses. Finding It is not evident that this item has been taken into consideration, but all homes will meet current energy codes. — (9) Use of traffic management and design techniques to reduce the potential for traffic conflicts. Improvements to area roads and intersections may be required as appropriate. Finding The proposal is providing right-of-way for the future expansion of Lyman Boulevard State Highway 101, and Lake Riley Boulevard. The dedication of the right-of-way for State Highway 101 is not required as part of the subdivision process. However, this dedication provides a benefit for the City of Chanhassen by providing the city with a bargaining chip in negotiations with the State Highway Department or should the city undertake the expansion of Highway 101 in the future. This site will be served by two curb cuts onto Lyman Boulevard and is providing a connection to Bandimere Heights Subdivision through the _ extension of Kiowa Trail. Internal local streets are included as part of the development. Staff is proposing that an additional connection be provided to Lake Riley Boulevard to provide a secondary access for residents and emergency vehicles. This access would shorten the dead end by approximately one-quarter mile. There is a specific intent statement for the single family residential PUD. The intent statement states the developer will be permitted flexibility in development standards in return for enhancing environmental sensitivity beyond normal ordinance requirements and providing a higher quality of development. The single family detached residential planned unit development must also meet the following guidelines: (b) Minimum Lot Size - The single family residential PUD allows lot sizes down to a minimum of 11,000 square feet . The applicant must demonstrate that there are a mix Lundgren/Dolej si/Rogers November 3, 1993 Page 10 of lot sizes consistent with local terrain conditions, preservation of natural features and open space and that lot sizes are consistent with average building footprints that will be concurrently approved with the PUD. The applicant must demonstrate that each lot is able to accommodate a 60' x 40' building pad and 12' x 12' deck without intruding into any required setback area or protective easement. Each home must also have a minimum rear yard, 30 feet deep. This area may not be encumbered by the required home/deck pads or by wetland/drainage easements. Finding The proposal provides lot areas ranging from 11,004 square feet to 57,423 square feet (not including outlots) with an average net lot area of 17,814 square feet. The ability to concentrate smaller lots in the interior of the development and locating larger lots around the perimeter will provide natural open space. This open space is further enhanced through the PUD by the requirement for more than normal landscaping and berming along collector and arterial roadways as well as larger building setbacks from these roadways. Each lot can accommodate a 60' x 40' building pad as well as a 12' x 12' deck without intruding into the required setbacks. While the previous PUD Ordinance required that 50 percent of the lots meet the minimum standard, there is no specific requirement in the current PUD Ordinance that requires this now. Nonetheless, this development would meet that standard. (c) Minimum lot width at building setback: Ninety (90) feet. Finding All the lots appear to meet this requirement. (d) Minimum lot depth: One hundred (100) feet Finding All of the lots exceed the minimum 100 feet lot depth requirement. While one side of one lot is less than 100 feet, the average of the lot depth for that lot is 106 feet. (e) Minimum setbacks: PUD exterior: thirty (30) feet Front yard: thirty (30) feet Rear yard: thirty (30) feet Lundgren/Dolej si/Rogers November 3, 1993 Page 11 Side yard: ten (10) feet Adjacent to arterial or collector roads, a fifty (50) foot setback shall be maintained. Findin The proposal provides ample lot areas to maintain a thirty (30) foot PUD exterior setback as well as the fifty (50) foot setback from Lyman Boulevard and State Highway 101. Lots are shown with thirty (30) foot front setbacks. There is sufficient lot depth to meet the thirty (30) foot rear setback. The narrative provided by the developer proposes a six (6) foot garage and nine (9) foot living area side setbacks with minimum structure separation of twenty (20) feet. However, staff believes that this variance from the PUD standards are not justified due to site or environment issues and, therefore, should be denied. (f) Protection and preservation of natural features. Finding While there are few natural features on site, the wetland and the few trees will be protected as part of the development. g) An overall landscaping plan is required. The plan shall contain the following: 1) Boulevard Plantings - Located in front yard areas these shall require a mix of over-story trees and other plantings consistent with the site. Well designed entrance monument is required. In place of mass grading for building pads and roads, stone or decorative block retaining walls shall be employed as required to preserve mature trees and the site's natural topography. 2) Exterior Landscaping and Double Fronted Lots - Landscaped berms shall be provided to buffer the site and lots from major roadways, railroads, and more intensive uses. Similar measures shall be provided for double fronted lots. Where necessary to accommodate this landscaping, additional lot depth may be required. 3) Foundation Plantings - A minimum budget for foundation plants shall be established and approved by the city. As each parcel is developed in the PUD, the builder shall be required to install plant materials meeting or exceeding the required budget prior to issuance of certificate of occupancy or provide financial guarantees acceptable to the city. Lundgre n/Dolej si/Rogers November 3, 1993 Page 12 4) Tree preservation. Tree preservation is a primary goal of the PUD. A detailed tree survey should be prepared during the design of the PUD and the plans should be developed to maximize tree preservation. Finding The existing trees shall be protected as part of the development. The applicant shall be required to provide perimeter berming and landscaping as a condition of approval. An approved landscaping budget will be a condition of final platting. The berming and landscaping adjacent to State Highway 101 and Lyman Boulevard shall provide a visual buffer of the home sites from the road. The landscaping along Lake Riley Boulevard shall provide screening and a sense of transition from the existing homes into the development. As a discussion item, staff is suggesting that the developer initiate a reforestation program along the perimeter of the site where such reforestation would provide additional benefit to the residents of the City. The reforestation program could be done in stages corresponding with the phasing of the project, e.g. one sixth of the plantings during each phase, in order to reduce the total up front cost of the project. This program would include the planting of native trees that might be present on the site if farming had not been started. The program might also be expanded to allow school children to participate in planting the trees, thereby, providing them with a learning opportunity about the natural environment. Finally, the reforestation program might be coordinated with the University of Minnesota Landscape Arboretum as an outreach project for programs they have. h) Architectural Standards - The applicant should demonstrate that the PUD will provide for a high level of architectural design and building materials. While this requirement is not intended to minimize design flexibility, a set of architectural standards should be — prepared for city approval. The primary purpose of this section is to assure the city that high quality design will be employed and that home construction can take place without variances or impact to adjoining lots. The PUD Agreement should include the following: 1) Standards for exterior architectural treatments. 2) Prohibition against free standing garages may be required by the city when it is felt that unattached garages will be difficult to accommodate due to small lot sizes. If an attached garage is to be converted to living space at some time in the future, the applicant will have to demonstrate that there is sufficient room to accommodate a two car garage without variances to obtain a permit. Lundgren/Dolejsi/Rogers November 3, 1993 Page 13 3) Guidelines regulating the placement of air conditioners, dog kennels, storage buildings, and other accessory uses that could potentially impact adjoining parcels due to small lot sizes. Findin • The applicant has stated in their narrative that they will incorporate current and updated home designs within their development. Due to variety of lots sizes, it should be possible to provide a variety of home types and designs to meet the needs of the residents. The City should establish guidelines for the screening of rear yards along Lake Riley Boulevard to limit potentially negative impacts to properties along the roadway. The applicant has provided a packet of materials that are included as an attachment to the report. SUMMARY OF REZONING The subject site being located adjacent to two major roadways and existing single-family subdivisions is ideally suited for a planned unit development. The flexibility of the PUD standards results in a reduction of impacts to both current and future residents of the area. The ability to average the lot sizes permits the siting of large home sites along the perimeter — of the development and smaller home sites in the project's interior. The few natural features of the site are also being protected as part of the development. — PRELIMINARY PLAT The preliminary plat will subdivide the site into 134 lots. Additionally, there is a 1.7 acre outlot containing the existing Dolejsi home. All lots meet or exceed City Code requirements as illustrated in the compliance table (see Attachment #1). Lot areas range from 11,004 square feet to 57,423 square feet with an average lot size of 17,814 square feet. There are a total of seven outlots in the plat as follows: Outlot A 14,198 square feet located at the intersection of Lyman Boulevard and State Highway 101. This outlot will contain a development monument and landscaping. Outlot B 5, 488 square feet located at the western entrance road on Lyman _ Boulevard. This outlot will contain an entrance monument and landscaping. Lundgren/Dolejsi/Rogers November 3, 1993 Page 14 Outlot C 4,996 square feet located at the western entrance road on Lyman Boulevard. This outlot will contain an entrance monument and _ landscaping. Outlot D 25,363 square feet located at the eastern entrance road on Lyman — Boulevard. This outlot will contain an entrance monument and landscaping and a NURP pond. Outlot E 4,522 square feet located at the eastern entrance road on Lyman Boulevard. This outlot will contain an entrance monument and _ landscaping. Outlot F 72,766 square feet located in the south central part of the project _ adjacent to the proposed Kiowa Trail road connection. This site contains the Dolejsi home. Outlot G 231,321 square feet located in the southwest corner of the project. This land is to be dedicated to the City for park land. WETLANDS The 80-acre site consists of rolling terrain mostly employed in agricultural practices and also — includes a nursery stock area. The site also contains a wetland located in the northeast corner of the site. The wetland is classified as a saturated palustrine emergent wetland (Cowardin PEMC; circular 39 type III inland shallow fresh water marsh). The City of Chanhassen has — classified this wetland basin as an ag/urban wetland indicating the wetland has a moderate to low functional value. The wetland is approximately 0.50 acres in size. No alteration is proposed to the wetland with this development proposal. Storm water runoff generated from — the development will be from the rear yard areas of those lots which abut Lake Riley Boulevard. The predeveloped runoff currently drains into the wetland from the agricultural practices as well as the street runoff from Lake Riley Boulevard which will continue with or — without this development. Since there is no alteration proposed to the wetland, a wetland alteration permit is not required under the Minnesota Wetland Conservation Act or the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. The City of Chanhassen's wetland ordinance should be employed _ by requiring a buffer strip and appropriate setbacks for the houses adjacent to the wetland. In the future when Lyman Boulevard is upgraded this wetland may be enlarged to function as a _ portion of a two-cell drainage facility, with one cell being a pretreatment basin to treat storm runoff from Lake Riley Boulevard prior to discharging into the wetland which eventually flows underneath Lyman Boulevard to the north into a more pristine wetland. _ Lundgren/Dolejsi/Rogers November 3, 1993 Page 15 GRADING AND DRAINAGE The preliminary grading plans do not provide existing ground contour information. Upon conversations with the applicant, apparently the information was provided on the original drawings; however, during the duplication process the information was not printed through on to our plan set. The applicant is going to supply staff with the appropriate topographic information. Based on the preliminary grading plan, the entire site will eventually be graded with completion of the six phases. The proposed grades offer a wide variety of building elevations over the development Ground elevations range from 928.5 in the northwest corner of the site to 901.5 in the northeast corner of the site. The plans also propose a series of storm sewer catch basins and ponding basins to retain and treat storm runoff. Staff has not and typically does not receive drainage and ponding calculations until the final platting phase. City ordinance requires that the storm sewers are designed and constructed to handle a 10-year storm event. The storm sewer ponds (NURP basins) are required to meet Chanhassen's water quality standards and maintain the surface water discharge rate from the subdivision at the predeveloped runoff rate for a 100-year, 24- hour storm event through the use of storm water detention or retention facilities of other • appropriate means approved by the city engineer. Detailed storm sewer and ponding calculations for the entire development will be required in conjunction with final platting of Phase I. The site has three different drainage subdistricts, two of which drain to Lake Riley and the other west underneath Trunk Highway 101 to a large wetland basin. According to the City's preliminary stormwater management plan (SWMP), the applicant is for the most part proposing NURP basins in accordance to the City SWMP plan. Final design of the drainage system will be considered with the final plat approval process along with the feasibility study for the upgrade of Lyman Boulevard. This site has a history of creating some downstream drainage problems on the adjacent parcels to the north and south. To the north, an existing drainage ditch (between Lot 3 and 5, _ Block 5) continues to erode and wash sediments north underneath Lyman Boulevard to a wetland basin. The preliminary plans propose on creating a NURP adjacent to Lyman Boulevard to pretreat storm runoff prior to discharging underneath Lyman Boulevard. Although this will improve water quality, it still will not resolve the erosion problem being created from the discharge off the site. The SWMP plan recommend that a lateral storm sewer pipe be extended down to the wetland located in the northeast corner of the site. Since this water will already be pretreated prior to discharging in the wetland, a sediment basin will not be required adjacent to the wetland. A single-family subdivision (Sunny Slope Addition) exists to the south of Lots 19-22, Block 5. This area has received in the past overland drainage from the agricultural fields as well as Lundgren/Dolej si/Rogers November 3, 1993 Page 16 the nursery stock area. During intense rains, the runoff has contained large amounts of sediments which have washed into neighboring properties and on through the City's culvert at - Lake Riley Boulevard and into Lake Riley. The applicant is proposing a NURP basin for pretreatment of stormwater runoff prior to discharging through to Lake Riley Boulevard. This outlet storm pipe is proposed to be constructed in an area which contains steep grades and heavy vegetation and outlets on to Lake Riley Boulevard which is unacceptable to staff. The natural drainage pattern for this development is between the existing homes in Sunny Slope Addition just south of Lots 20-22, Block 5. Staff has discussed this drainage situation with the applicant who is willing to consider relocating the outlet pipe if they are able to acquire the necessary drainage and utility easements to extend storm sewer through the Sunny Slope Addition to Lake Riley. Staff has indicated that the City would assist the applicant in - meeting the homeowners affected by the easement acquisition. The City has existing drainage and utility easements south of Deerfoot Trail down along the common property lines to Lake Riley. The City would also be willing to participate in a cost sharing project to pay a portion of the oversizing cost of the storm sewer system which lies south of Deerfoot Trail. The City's portion of the storm sewer would be for the oversizing of lateral line which would collect stormwater runoff from Sunny Slope Addition as well as portions of Lake Riley Boulevard lying south of the proposed subdivision. This agreement could be worked out prior to final platting. The westerly portion of the development drains to a small wetland area located just south of the development and just west of Outlot G (Finger Property). According to the City's wetland inventory, this wetland is classified as a ag-urban in very poor condition. The wetland also contains a draintile system as well as landscape plant material from the property owner. Other than redirecting surface runoff from the wetland, the development proposes no adverse impacts or alterations. The applicant's stormwater plan is proposing a NURP basin just north of the wetland located on the Finger parcel. This NURP basin will intercept and pretreat stormwater runoff from the subdivision prior to discharging into a ditch section which eventually drains through a culvert underneath Trunk Highway 101. Some minor ditch restoration and culvert cleaning (Trunk Highway 101) may be necessary to restore the normal drainage patterns. Three NURP basins are proposed adjacent to Lyman Boulevard as previously indicated. All three basins are proposed to encroach upon the dedicated right-of-way of Lyman Boulevard. - Staff has asked the applicant to review this and make modifications accordingly. Staff has also indicated to the applicant with the upgrade of Lyman Boulevard that some adjustments may be necessary to their storm drainage system. The applicant indicated that they would be willing to work with City staff in modifying their plans accordingly. Lundgren/Dolejsi/Rogers November 3, 1993 Page 17 STREETS The applicant is proposing dedication of 3.1 acres of land for State Highway 101 and 4.7 acres for Lyman Boulevard to accommodate the future expansion of both of these roadways. These roads are shown as arterial and collector roadways on the City's comprehensive plan. Additionally, the applicant is proposing the dedication of 0.6 acres for Lake Riley Boulevard. Internal roadways are proposed using fifty (50) foot right-of-way and are curvilinear in nature. While the City has accepted fifty (50) foot right-of-way widths in the past, in this instance there are no compelling reasons for the City to accept less than sixty (60) feet of right-of-way within the development since there are no outstanding physical limitations within the development to prohibit standard width roadways. There are no revisions to the plans incorporating the 60 foot right-of-way. The City has received a petition signed by the applicant/property owner along with two other property owners in the neighborhood for the extension of trunk utilities. The City will consider the petition at the next available City Council meeting sometime in November to discuss whether authorization of an updated feasibility study is warranted. If the Council authorizes the updated feasibility study, staff anticipates that the public hearing process along with plans and specifications preparation and bidding, that construction would not proceed until August or September of 1995. The plans propose three accesses to the 80-acre site. Two from Lyman Boulevard and one from Kiowa Trail. As stated earlier, staff is proposing a compromise to allow the Kiowa Trail connection to be a temporary cul-de-sac to accommodate the concerns of the Kiowa Trail residents. Until Highway 212 is built, there will be a tendency for individuals on Lake Riley Boulevard and within the proposed development to use the Kiowa Trail connection as a shortcut to Pioneer Trail. However, this road would not serve as a viable alternate route for individuals from outside of the development, specifically for the multifamily to the northeast, because of the added turns and the ease of access provided by Lyman Boulevard, epecially if Lyman is upgraded. The site also border Lake Riley Boulevard to the east. According to City records, Lake Riley Boulevard is a 2,300 foott a long dead end cul-de-sac without municipal water service. The street section consist of a 21 foot wide bituminous street with no curb and gutter or storm sewer system. Engineering staff recommends that the cul-de-sac located in Phase 3 (the southeast corner of the proposed development, Lots 14 through 18, Block 5) be extended to Lake Riley Boulevard to provide additional access for the Lake Riley Boulevard residents. This access would reduce the length of the dead end on Lake Riley Boulevard by 1,200 feet. Staff does not believe by connecting these two neighborhood would inadversely increase traffic volumes through either neighborhoods. It simply will provide an additional access to Lyman Boulevard for the Lake Riley Hills residents. Lake Riley Boulevard is currently is constructed within a 40-foot wide right-of-way for the most part except for that portion of the boulevard which lies approximately 600 feet south of Lundgren/Dolej si/Rogers November 3, 1993 Page 18 — Lyman Boulevard. In this area, the right-of-way meanders back and forth. The applicant is proposing to dedicate an additional 10 feet of right-of-way for a total of 50 feet of right-of- way along Lake Riley Boulevard. Staff recommends that the applicant dedicate an additional 10 feet of right-of-way to meet City standards which is 60 feet of right-of-way. The existing plat (Shore Acres) which lies immediately adjacent to the east of Lake Riley Boulevard dedicated 33 feet of right-of-way which is was subdivided some time ago. The applicant has not altered this dedication since the last public hearing. The applicant is also proposing to dedicate additional right-of-way for the upgrade of Lyman Boulevard pursuant to staff recommendations. Provisions have been made for realigning Lyman Boulevard to the south to avoid impact to the wetlands located on the north side of — Lyman Boulevard. Once the City completes the feasibility study for upgrading Lyman Boulevard, the unnecessary right-of-way may be vacated back to the applicant. The plans do not provide street grades for staff review. However, staff has been in contact- with the applicants engineer who has informed staff that the street grades will meet the City _ requirements which are 0.50% to 7.0% slope. The plans propose the new streets be constructed within a 50-foot wide right-of-way — subdivision. The City's subdivision ordinance requires a 60-foot wide right-of-way be dedicated. Staff believes even though this is a PUD, we feel there should be no compromising on the street right-of-way width. We have typically only allowed undersized — right-of-way when tree preservation is an issue and in this case it is not. Engineering staff has already compromised on a couple of design standards such as the distance between intersections and geometric layouts. The applicant requested two three-way intersections to — facilitate the existing property owner's homesite on Outlot F. From a traffic circulation and safety standpoint, the preferred street configuration would be one four-way intersection. The City's ordinance under subdivision regulations requires that the intersections be spaced — approximately 300 feet apart. There are currently four intersections that do not meet this design standard. Staff, however, has had conversations with the applicant and feels since the traffic volumes are fairly low that the intersection spacing as proposed is acceptable. — The street system proposed within Phase 5 (Block 4) is bisected by a parcel of land which is exempt from this development. The applicant has shown on the landscape plan how this — parcel could develop in the future when the property owner is ready to subdivide. In the meantime, temporary turnarounds will be necessary at the end of each street. Outlot F contains an existing homesite which driveway extends to a common or shared gravel private driveway at the end of Kiowa Trail. The private driveway also serves three other _ properties adjacent to this site. Based on the landscape plan, it appears the private driveway which serves the other three homes also encroaches on Outlot F. The applicant/property owner should enter into a driveway easement agreement with the other three property owners — Lundgren/Dolej si/Rogers November 3, 1993 Page 19 if one doesn't already exist or to resolve this issue through the relocation of the driveway off of Outlot F. Since outlots cannot be built upon, this parcel should be platted as a lot within the subdivision. Including this lot in the subdivision reduces the net density to 2.38 units per acre and increases the average lot size to 18,231 square feet. Additionally, a new driveway connection from this lot to the proposed street alignment should be provided. The plans do not indicate the proposed street section. It is recommended that the City's typical urban street section which is 31 feet back-to-back curb and gutter be required. Since Bandimere Park is located immediately to the south of this development, a sidewalk should also be considered along the north/south street which extends north of Kiowa Trail and from Lake Riley Boulevard to this north/south route to provide an added degree of pedestrian safety. Another alternative would be for an off-street trail network to provide some continuity between the existing and proposed neighborhoods. Detailed street construction plans and specifications shall be required as a part of final plat — approval. The construction plans and specification shall be designed in accordance to the City's latest edition of Standard Specifications and Detail Plates. Construction plans and specifications shall be submitted to City staff for review and formal approval by the City Council in conjunction with the final platting. UTILITIES Site is located within the urban sewer service area (MUSA). However, at this time, municipal sanitary sewer and water service is not immediately available to the entire site. Water service currently exists at Trunk Highway 101 and Lake Susan Drive approximately 1/2 mile north of the site. Sanitary sewer is extended along Lake Riley Boulevard through a lift station which is located at the intersection of Lake Riley Boulevard and Lyman Boulevard. The existing lift station and sewer lines are not capable of servicing the entire development due to capacity and elevation constraints. Last year the City considered a petition for the extension of trunk utilities to serve this area immediately north of Lyman Boulevard (John Klingelhutz property). A feasibility study — looked at two alternatives for utility service to the area. However, the project never materialized due to problems with easement acquisition. The City has received another petition from the applicant and other property owners in the area. The petition is requesting the City to update the current feasibility study for the extension of trunk utilities into the area. The City Council will be considering the petition at the next available Council agenda which is anticipated some time in November, 1993. Without the extension of municipal trunk utilities and reconstruction of Lyman Boulevard, the project should be considered premature. Preliminary and final plat approval should be conditioned upon the City authorizing and awarding a public improvement project for the extension of municipal utility service in the upgrading of Lyman Boulevard to urban standards. Lundgren/Dolejsi/Rogers November 3, 1993 Page 20 The preliminary utility plans are laid out fairly well. The utility layout will be studied in — greater detail with the updated feasibility study which will assist in determining the best and most feasible methods for servicing the development. Detailed utility and street construction plans and specifications will be required as a part of final plat approval. Construction plans and specifications shall be submitted to City staff for review and formal approval by the City Council. Fire hydrants are located throughout the development. The City's fire marshal requires hydrants to be spaced approximately 300 feet apart. The fire hydrants on the preliminary utility layout are proposed approximately 400 feet apart. The City fire marshal will be — reviewing the fire hydrant locations and address locations during the final plan and plat review process. The plans propose on extending water service throughout the development including extending a watermain stub to existing Kiowa Trail. Staff also recommends extending a watermain stub to Lake Riley Boulevard between Lots 15 and 16, Block 5 to provide a loop — system in the future when water service is extended along Lake Riley Boulevard. This is the same location where staff has previously recommended that the cul-de-sac be extended to connect to Lake Riley Boulevard. — The existing home on Oudot F is currently on its own well and septic system. In accordance to City code, the property owner will be required to connect to City sewer and water within — 12 months from the date the system becomes operational or if the well or septic fails, which occurs first. MISCELLANEOUS The applicant should be aware that the extension of trunk utility and upgrading of Lyman — Boulevard will sustain assessment against this development. Again, once the feasibility study has been prepared and accepted, we will have a better handle on the financial impacts the _ public improvements will have against this parcel. This will be further addressed in the final plat review process and conditions incorporated with the development contract. TREE PRESERVATION There are a total of twenty-two (22) trees locating on the subject property. While only two of the trees are on the City's list of desired trees, all existing trees can be preserved as part of the development of the site. The rows of tree that have been planted on the site have been excluded from the tree survey since they will be removed from the property by the owner. — The developer will be required to develop a landscaping plan for the perimeter of the project along all existing roadways as well as establish a landscaping budget for the individual lots. — Lundgren/Dolej si/Rogers November 3, 1993 Page 21 All tree plantings will be from the preferred list provided by code. The applicant is proposing to plant 211 overstory trees, 121 evergreen trees, and 53 ornamental trees, plus 144 — shrubs at various locations throughout the site. However, it is uncertain if this amount is for interior or perimeter planting. Therefore, we are asking that for final approval, the following be incorporated: 1. Detailed plans for landscaping and berming all exterior roadways. These features must be significant enough to buffer direct views of abutting home — sites from Lyman Boulevard and State Highway 101 and provide a natural transition from Lake Riley Boulevard into the development . — 2. Tree plantings are to meet the minimum size standards in City Code and to be selected from the official tree list of the City. 3. All landscaping shall be covered by satisfactory financial guarantees. Staff is suggesting as a discussion item that the Planning Commission look at the idea of a reforestation program as part of the approval of the project. (See PUD general finding 1. and Single family residential PUD finding g.) PARK AND RECREATION The applicant is proposing the dedication of approximately 5.3 acres to the City for park land. _ This is adjacent to lands currently owned by the City for Bandimere Heights Community Park. The Park and Recreation Commission reviewed this development at their meeting of September 28, 1993. The Commission recommended that the City require the dedication of 5.3 acres of park land as shown on the applicant's concept plan dated August 20, 1993, in lieu of park fees. The applicant will also be required to provide a park trail connection from _ the southeast quadrant of the development to Lake Riley Boulevard. This trail will provide pedestrian and bicycle access to Bandimere Park. The comprehensive plan shows trail systems on State Highway 101 and Lyman Boulevard. These trails will be included in the future upgrade of these roadways. Full trail fees shall be required as a part of this development As an added amenity, sidewalk or trail connections — should be made from Lyman Boulevard and Lake Riley Boulevard through the development to Bandimere Park. — COMPLIANCE TABLE See Attachment 1. Lund gren/Dolej si/Rogers November 3, 1993 Page 22 DISCUSSION ITEMS Since the Planning Commission meeting of 11/3/93, staff has met with the applicant and had subsequent discussions regarding the project and issues raised about the development. No _ revisions to the plans have been proposed by the applicant in response to the public hearing comments or staff discussions. While not currently specified as conditions within staff recommendations because of staff's desire for Planning Commission input and to provide the _ applicant with an opportunity to formally address these issues, staff sets forth the following items for discussion: 1. Should the applicant be required to initiate a reforestation program around the perimeter of the project? Specifically to be addressed are the areas along State Highway 101 and along the southern boundary of the site adjacent to the proposed park land? A reforestation program would include the planting of native tree species in quantities and varieties that approximate a natural wooded area that would be present in Chanhassen had farming and urban development not taken place. _ 2. Should the applicant be required to specify a percentage of housing that would be reasonably priced for moderate income individuals? This becomes an issue since the — applicant proposed this as one of the reasons for using a PUD. Additionally, the City has heard that housing would be reasonably priced by other developers, but when the time comes for selling housing units, whatever the market would bear became the — standard. It is contingent on the developer to show that the proposal provides these housing opportunities. RECOMMENDATIONS Staff recommends that the Planning Commission adopt the following motion: — "The Planning Commission recommends approval of the preliminary PUD of 80.8 acres of property to create 135 single-family lots, preliminary plat approval, and rezoning of the — property from A-2, Agricultural Estate, to PUD-R, Planned Unit Development - Residential, subject to the following conditions: 1. Submittal of street names to the Public Safety Department, Inspections Division for review and approval prior to final plat approval. 2. Revise grading and erosion control plan to indicate lowest floor level elevation and garage floor elevation before final plat approval. 3. Tree preservation/landscaping: Lundgren/Dolej si/Rogers November 3, 1993 Page 23 a. Detailed plans for perimeter berming and landscaping. A landscaped buffer shall be provided along State Highway 101 and Lyman Boulevard. This buffer shall be sufficient to screen direct views of the homesite from the roadway. Additional landscaping shall be provided along Lake Riley Boulevard to provide a natural transition from Lake Riley Boulevard into the development. b. Tree planting to meet minimum size standards in City Code and to be selected from the official tree list. c. Landscaping to be covered by satisfactory financial guarantees to assure installation and survival. d. Existing trees listed in the tree survey to be preserved as part of the development. e. Development of an approved landscape budget prior to City approval of the final plat. 4. The applicant shall dedicate 5.3 acres of park land to the City in lieu of park fees. 5. A trail easement to be dedicated in the southeast quadrant of the site to provide pedestrian and bicycle access to Lake Riley Boulevard. The trail segment shall be built by the developer as part of the phase of development including the abutting property. Full trail fees will be required as part of the development. 6. Demonstrate that each lot can accommodate at least a 60' x 40' homesite and a 12' x 12' deck and maintain all setbacks on the final plat. 7. A minimum fifty (50) foot building setback shall be maintained from Lyman Boulevard and State Highway 101. This setback shall be included on the final plat. 8. Appropriate drainage and utility easements shall be conveyed with the fmal plat for all utilities located outside the public right-of-way. The minimum width shall be twenty (20) feet. 9. No lots shall have driveway access to State Highway 101, Lyman Boulevard, or Lake Riley Boulevard. 10. The developer shall construct all utility and street improvements in accordance with the City's latest edition of Standard Specifications and Detail Plates and prepare final construction plans and specifications for City staff review and formal City Council approval in conjunction with final plat approval. Lundgren/Dolej si/Rogers November 3, 1993 Page 24 — 11. As a condition of final plat approval, the applicant shall be required to enter into a PUD agreement and development contract with the City and provide the necessary financial security to guarantee compliance with the conditions of approval of final platting. 12. The City of Chanhassen Wetland Ordinance should be employed to require a buffer strip and setback for the homes adjacent to the homes in the northeast corner of the site, specifically Lots 6, 7 and 8, Block 5. — 13. The grading plan should be revised to include existing ground contours. Street grades throughout the subdivision shall fall within the City's standard of 0.50% to 7.0% — percent grades. 14.

Schroers: So it's pretty cut and dry. Any questions? Lash: I'm just curious why somebody's doing this? I mean are they then going to be able to — build on Outlot A if it's combined with this property in Shorewood? Hoffman: Correct. I believe it's developed there already. What they are doing is...have — somebody to developer Lot 1. Lash: I move that we accept, or that we require current park and trail fees which are not — $600.00 and $200.00 at the rate in force at the time of the application. Schroers: Is there a second? — Manders: Second. Lash moved, Manders seconded that the Park and Recreation Commission recommend to accept full park and trail fees for Jean Addition. These fees are to be collected at a rate in force upon building permit application. All voted in favor and the motion — carried. LAND DEVELOPMENT PROPOSAL, SUBDIVISION OF 80.8 ACRES INTO 133 SLNGLE FAMILY LOTS, ROGERS/DOLEJSI PROPERTY, SOUTHEAST CORNER _ OF LYMAN BOULEVARD AND HIGHWAY 101 SOUTH, LUNDGREN BROTHERS CONSTRUCTION. Todd Hoffman presented the staff report on this item. Lash: Can I ask you a question first Todd, before we move on? I'm looking, if I'm looking at this plan, which is the one that you have on the screen. And then I'm looking at my big drawing. Where would Kiowa Trail fit in on the big screen there? 19 Park and Rec Commission Meeting - September 28, 1993 Hoffman: This one? The one you have? Lash: Yeah. Is that going to connect to any of those streets or does it just. Hoffman: They're proposed to connect, yeah. Kiowa Trail is proposed to connect at this location. This is the terminus of Kiowa Trail at the current time. So Kiowa then drops out to TH 101. Kiowa terminates there. There's one access boulevard. I believe it's Mr. Dolejsi's home at that site. And then this would be a proposed connection. Schroers: Where is. _ Lash: Excuse me Larry, so there would be a connection for people on Kiowa Trail and the people in the Lundgren Bros development to come down through the street to Kiowa Trail? Hoffman: Correct. Lash: Okay. But not Lake Riley Blvd. Okay. Schroers: Where is Bandimere's neighborhood park? Hoffman: On this plan? You're just beginning to see the border of it right here. Bandimere's neighborhood park. And you can see that is Bandimere. This orientation. Schroers: Okay. So there would be no practical, it wouldn't be practical to make a trail connection from there to the rest of the park? Coming out of the Bandimere neighborhood park. Hoffman: The commission has talked about that in the past and what the consensus has been is that Bandimere Heights Park, the neighborhood park, is going to remain it's own little entity. If there was a future trail connection, that certainly could be accomplished. Schroers: But it wouldn't accomplish what we would like to accomplish? Hoffman: No. If you want to access the neighborhood park, you would simply just continue to walk on the road... Schroers: Okay. And one other dumb question. Why do we want to develop the trail later along TH 101 and Lyman? Hoffman: The upgrade of those road systems, as you can see on the overhead. You can 20 Park and Rec Commission Meeting - September 28, 1993 probably just take 212 right out of your mind. I mean I don't know when that's going to, we all don't know when that's going to happen. But that is the, unfortunately if you take it out of your head, that is the assigned north/south trail corridor. Coming down TH 101 in this configuration. So if we run this trail out to a point here, we would have to then do a temporary trail and temporary meaning, 5 years at least. 10 years. 15. I'm not sure when that would be. So that may not be so temporary but to get people to the west you're going to have to continue along Lyman and then go north along old TH 101 which will be taken out when 212 comes through. So what happens in this segment with trails and what you would — gain by putting this segment in is questionable. Now you may, you could gain something if you took it to this point and then traveled south into the other access on the park but these folks already have an internal connection so they're not going to, most likely they're not — going to choose that. It would make a circular pattern for them but I don't see the immediate need such that we did on the Hans Hagen, Stone Creek development. You wanted that to go in out at Galpin because the school was going to be developed by '95. We wanted to get people up to the school. What do we want to accomplish? Where do we want to get the folks who are going to go out on that trail? Where can they go? Who are they trying to _ reach? What are they trying to get to? Schroers: I see your point. The reason that I brought it up was because we had sort of made — it an unofficial policy to get trails in along with development because it is cheaper and when we have to come back and do it later, after the fact, it always costs, is more expensive and we never have the money. — Hoffman: I can't argue with that. Schroers: So I guess to re-ask the question. Would it be reasonable or practical for us to preclude the trail going south from Lyman down TH 101 on the south? Hoffman: The additional right-of-way. Schroers: Or at least to grade it. — Hoffman: Those questions I immediately go back and sit down with our engineers because obviously when you're talking road upgrade and change the elevations of the roads and change an alignment at Lyman Blvd because there's a wetland down somewhere in this area which affects the road alignment, that's the reason...so unless there's a strong desire to have that trail there, which in order to get it there and make some sense out of it is going to take a — lot of investigation into what the future road alignment will be. How the road will look. What elevation it will take in it's present alignment versus it's present alignment and those type of things. So it's kind of a complicated issue. — 21 — Park and Rec Commission Meeting - September 28, 1993 Lash: How far in the future do you expect the road realignment to be? Hoffman: The TH 101 realignment? Lash: Either one. Hoffman: I couldn't speculate. Lash: How about Lyman? Hoffman: This road realignment...to Lyman? Again the engineering department tracks that but just in driving that road today, do you know Terry when they're going to upgrade...this development? — Terry Forbord: Neither road is on any type of improvement program in the city. There are no plans to upgrade either one of those roads. Lash: Well I just can't imagine with 133 homes going in there, and that's going to be their main access in and out of that development is going to Lyman. Isn't that still dirt? Schroers: It's not dirt but it's, the pavement is in poor condition. Lash: It might as well be. I just can't imagine that they're going to be able to hold off after the homes are in too much longer after that. Schroers: Okay. Does Mr. Forbord wish to address the commission this evening? Terry Forbord: Mr. Chair, I have no presentation. I'll be happy to answer any questions. Schroers: Okay. Discussion from commission members. Do they have any particular thoughts or feelings regarding the recommendation or the development here? Lash: I guess I would agree with Todd's recommendation. The only question I would have is if it looks like Lyman Blvd were to come on line fairly soon, it would make sense to do _ the trail work at that time. If it looks like it's not going to be for years and years, I would maybe be inclined to want to have the trail construction along Lyman. That is going to help, well actually along TH 101 too. Because we know that's not going to be for a long time. That would help a lot of people to make a circle here up Lake Riley to Lyman. Lyman over to TH 101. Have some short safe passage along TH 101 to the park and then back around would make a nice big loop and boy, from reading that survey this weekend, people down on 22 Park and Rec Commission Meeting - September 28, 1993 TH 101 are very, very interested in getting some trail. It may look like we're doing something so maybe it needs to be investigated. I can't say for sure on that but Lyman is a long stretch here and that would be a nice thing to get in as soon as we can but I don't want to put it in in a year or two and then have them come back the year after that and rip everything out again. So we need to have maybe a little more information on that. As far as the trail connection in the southeast quadrant, I think that's a good recommendation from staff. Basically because I look at neighborhoods. I look at my neighborhood and there's no trail connection. There's nothing between lots so if you have little kids, and I'm not talking — little, little kids but if you have kids that you don't want going out to CR 17 to go over to the next street to their friends house, they've got to cut through somebody's yard, and most people are okay with that. But you never know and this is really isolating the Lundgren Bros development from the homes on the south and the people, believe it or not, they're going to make friends and the kids are going to make friends and they're going to want to go back and forth and there's no way they're going to be able to do that right now without going out on — Lake Riley Blvd all the way up to Lyman and then in on a street. It would be a nice thing for kids to be able to have an access between lots that they could use and ride their bike without feeling like they're going through somebody's yard with their bike. And I don't — know what the prime spot would be. I guess that would be up to the developer to figure that out to make that connection. Schroers: I agree with that also. I think that an access makes a lot of sense. I think that we will have an opportunity. Our best opportunity's to get trails developed and put in place are either with developers or with road realignment and it seems to make sense in this point, at some point in the future, who knows when but we do believe that something will be done with Lyman and something will be done with TH 101 and it will probably be easier and better to get the trail put in at that point in time along with the road realignment or upgrading or whatever. So unless we have any more discussion, I'm ready for a motion. Manders: I'd just like to say that I would agree that that connection on the trail to the southeast, Lake Riley trail is a necessary item. I don't think there should be any question about that going in. As far as the trail system around TH 101 and Lyman, I personally wouldn't suggest that that go in at this point. I think that should be held off. Lash: Okay, I'd be ready to make a motion. I would move that we recommend to the City _ Council that we require 5.3 acres of parkland dedication as shown on the applicant's concept plan dated August 20, 1993. In lieu of this we'll waive all park fees. For the trail recommendation we would ask that the applicant design a trail connection in the southeast _ quadrant for Lake Riley Blvd and that since we will be looking at future trail construction on Lyman Blvd and Highway 101, along with road construction, that we will require full trail fees at the time of development. _ 23 Park and Rec Commission Meeting - September 28, 1993 Meger: I'll second. Lash moved, Meger seconded that the Park and Recreation Commission recommend that the City Council require 5.3 acres of parkland dedication as shown on the applicant's concept plan dated August 20, 1993 in lieu of park fees. The applicant will design a trail connection in the southeast quadrant for Lake Riley Blvd. The Park and Recreation Commission recognizes that future trail construction on Lyman Blvd and Highway 101 will occur along with road realignment construction. Therefore, full trail fees will be required as a part of this development. All voted in favor and the motion carried. Terry Forbord: May I please enter comments into the record? Lash: He wants to speak on record. Schroers: Yes. Go ahead. Or come forward please. Terry Forbord: Terry Forbord, 935 East Wayzata Blvd. It was our opinion and our planner's opinion that there wasn't a need for necessary park dedication in order for Bandimere to achieve it's goals. We had laid out that site. I've also met with the city's park consultant. It is possible for the city to put what the city intended to put on Bandimere without taking any park dedication from Rogers/Dolejsi. In good faith Lundgren Bros came to the city. We sat down and said we'll work with you on this particular site to try to dedicate some additional land to make it so the city would not have to grade Bandimere as severely as they would have had to do if we wouldn't have been willing to dedicate the land. We did so in good faith and it was our understanding that park and trail fees would be waived in consideration of that. As all of you know, anytime you dedicate land without anything in return, it poses some fear of economic impact on not only the property owner but on the land developer because there's absolutely no way to amortize those costs effectively over the cost of the entire project. You just can't do it and that's always why there's such a debate with the park dedication. So the reason that we came forward in a proactive manner was that it was our understanding the city would then respond also...waive those park and trail fees. In regards to _ the trail connection from Lake Riley Blvd, we just don't think that's good planning. You're going to have a trail in people's back yards and it's just like going through somebody's yard. It's exactly what it is. And all those people are going to have that little trail there. Those block values are going to be diminished by at least $10,000.00 per lot and those people who live there right now along that road there, if they wanted to go to the park right now, today, they'd really wanted to go to the park, they'd get to the park. Probably go and drive down Lyman and drive down TH 101 and come in on Kiowa and use that little neighborhood park and it probably has been used for years. With the construction of the interior street 24 Park and Rec Commission Meeting - September 28, 1993 connections as part of this proposal, they easily can get there very quickly. If you live way down here and you got onto your bike, you could get to this facility at best on a bike within _ 5 minutes. I mean at the longest. It is not very far away to go. And to put an economic and negative impact on all these lots, 6 lots, plus the Dolejsi homestead, because they're going to retain that. So there's 3 lots. You've got 9-10 lots plus all of these people who already have homes here. I can assure you they're all going to be...so you're going to have at least 14-15 potential, maybe even more, I'd have to count them up. Homeowners that would be very upset about having a trail there and if those people, like I say, if they want to get to the park, — they'll get to the park. They're not going to say well...trail connection since there's not...They'll still go to the park. They'll just go on the street. So we're really opposed to that because we know it will negatively impact the value of those lots. And we know that — those people who live there right now aren't going to want that trail. And just like most people if you said we're going to put a trail in your yard, most people, maybe some of you. Maybe some of you feel differently and say yeah, I'd like a trail but I don't want it my back — yard either and I'm just not convinced that that trail is really that important and there's - probably other trails in the city that are. Lash: Mr. Forbord? Terry Forbord: Yes. Lash: Can I just clear up what I had in mind, because I don't think you're understanding what I had in mind. I wasn't necessarily suggesting that this trail connection needed to go — along the back of all those yards. My idea was actually that it would just be a side yard connection from the cul-de-sac down in the quadrant over to Lake Riley Blvd because those people then would be able to access the cul-de-sac out to the street and up to the park. Hoffman: There's alignment to the north that would even allow more buffering. This would be a side yard. This would be a rear yard. Lash: I really didn't intend that it would have to be along the back yard of a whole bunch of lots and existing lots. Terry Forbord: Well that's certainly a lot better than what I thought it was but needless to — say we'd be opposed to it because neither one of those home owners are going to want it either. Lash: Right, and I can understand that. Terry Forbord: Again, I don't think anybody's going to say well I would have gone to the — 25 — Park and Rec Commission Meeting - September 28, 1993 park but there's not a connection...Plus if you look at the topography map there, I'm not sure if the topography between those two lot lines. From Lake Riley Blvd to here there's a rise. = And there's vegetation along there. Those are the comments that I had. Thank you. Hoffman: Chairman Schroers, members of the commission. Mr. David Stockdale is out in the audience this evening. He has scheduled an administrative...stepped out for a minute. I would just suggest when he steps back in we'll just pick up with that item. SELECTION OF VENDORS: A. CARVER BEACH PLAYGROUND. Todd Hoffman presented the staff report on this item. Berg: Jan, I'd defer to you. If there two were sitting right next to each other, which would the kids use more? Lash: Well it really depends a lot on the ages of the kids and that was, I just wrote down that question. Do we have any clue as to, how this neighborhood is sitting. And I realize _ there will be more than neighborhood kids there because of the beach but you know, double wide slide. What's the height of that? Hoffman: 40 inches. Lash: Well, I'd hate to use the b word here but, kind of boring. The tube slide is much more popular with kids. But, you have a problem then with bigger kids because bigger kids have trouble fitting in the tube slide without having to hunch over. The bigger kids aren't going to want to go on a 40 inch, little double wide slide either. Hoffman: The money that we're spending here just does not allow us to get up to those higher deck heights. Schroers: Carver Beach is one of the older neighborhoods in the city and the people that I know that go to Carver Beach, the youngest kids that I know of that go there are 9 and 10 years old. The majority of them would be young teens so I wonder, I'm wondering if we should install anything like this. Or if we should take the $3,000.00 and improve the park in another way. Lash: Or if you want something that's going to fill a wider age gap for a little big of money, I'd put in a couple of swings and a tire swing or something like that.

How will this development change the flow of storm water? — 2) Automobile traffic flow through the Kiowa Trail Neighborhood! The proposed development would create a substantial increase in the traffic on the existing Kiowa Trail. The — streets of the new development will be 31 feet across. Kiowa Trail is only 18 feet across. At this time you can not have two cars pass a parked car. With 133 homes using Kiowa Trail as there access to the south. will this create a dangerous situation to the current Kiowa Trail residence. 3) Automobile traffic passing the pedestrian access to the proposed regional park! The most important concern is the danger to the children heading to and from the new Regional park. — The only pedestrian access to the new park from Kiowa Trail, Lake Riley Blvd, and the new proposed development will be at the north end of Kiowa Trail. If Kiowa Trail becomes a through street. all south bound traffic from the proposed development will pass this point, and some of the north bound Kiowa Trail traffic will cross this point. If the access was for pedestrians only (accept for emergency vehicles) using a "Greenway" system, there would be almost no traffic crossing this point, making it safer for all concerned. Please consider the above concerns when presenting your recommendations to the City _ Council. We on the current Kiowa Trail are concerned for the safety of ourselves, and our children, based on the current proposal being presented.

CONSULTING PLANNERS LANDSCAPE ARCHITECTS - 300 FIRST AVENUE NORTH SUITE 2iC MINNEAPOLIS MN 55401 612.3393300 MEMORANDUM DATE: 28 October 1993 TO: Chanhassen City Staff FROM: John Uban RE: Rogers/Dolejsi Property, Lundgren Bros. Proposal A number of concerns have been brought up by City staff concerning the proposed PUD for the Rogers;Dolejsi property. We've been talking with Dave Hemple and following is a summary of our adjustments and explanations raised to date. 1. City Engineering staff is requesting that the interior roads have a 60-foot right-of-way. We have designed the roads to have a 50-foot right-of-way as part of the flexibility of the PUD . The needed flexibility is not because of wooded areas, but because of the pressure placed on the property for significant amount of Iand to be dedicated for other public purposes. The property is encumbered also by a gas pipeline that runs diagonally through the western edge. Additional right-of-way is being dedicated for State Highway 101 and for Lyman Boulevard, specifically to adjust around wetlands which pushes the right-of-way further into the Roger/Dolejsi parcel. Additionally, the land is being dedicated for Lake Riley Boulevard which was not completely platted when developed. There is no proposed access from Lake Riley Boulevard or Highway 101. Access will come from Lyman Boulevard. Additionally, full complement of park dedication is being made to make the development of Bandimere Park more cost efficient for the City. Much less grading will have to take place with the additional land being dedicated. This is a distinct benefit to the community. Because of this, we are trying to take full advantage of the property that is left for development and create an efficient and attractive plan as possible. The 50-foot right-of-way is an integral part of that design, and concerns about that were not known to us until just recently. We believe that this adjustment allows the homes to be properly placed in a system with grading and utilities within a 50-foot corridor and overall helping in the efficiency of that grading and utility extension to individual homesites. The City Planning Commission recently, on the Song parcel, in areas that were unwooded requested a 60-foot right-of-way with a compensating 25-foot front yard setback. This keeps the arrangement of lots and grading the same while allowing the legal setback line to move inward 5 feet on either side of the road. The City staffs request for additional right-of-way throughout the plat to make the roads all 60 feet in width affects a number of the lots in total size, bringing an estimated five lots below the 11,000 square foot area calculation. Additionally, we have intentionally created the largest lots around the perimeter of the property to adjust to many varied conditions and constraints that exist on the site (pipelines, 10 29 93 09: 49 $612 337 5601 DSi , INC. 003 004 Chanhassen City Staff 28 October 1993 Page 2 roads, future development, etc.) This further speaks to the flexibility needed in the PUD to be able to consolidate development in the interior as efficiently as possible. We propose to continue with a 50-foot right-of-way with a 30-foot front yard setback for the interior street with an 11,000 square foot lot size minimum. 2. City staff has raised some concerns on the details of the ponding and storm drainage plan specifically for those ponds lying along the northern edge in common with the Lyman Boulevard right-of-way. Lundgren Bros. will continue to work with City staff on the development of an appropriate combined drainage system. We understand the City has not yet finalized the road design for the upgrading of Lyman Boulevard and we will work through our final plan development to organize the drainage system with City staff. We are now making adjustments to the plan to show that the outlets from the ponds will flow along Lyman Boulevard connecting the westerly ponds on through to the east and connecting to the most easterly 15-inch culvert under Lyman Boulevard. We will adjust this basic concept as is needed. Lundgren Bros. will work with City staff so that storage and ponding areas will be kept primarily on the private property without severely encumbering the R.O.W. 3. At staff request, greater details of these plans are being submitted to the City for review. The grading plan will be reprinted so it is easier to read the existing topographic lines. Also, the scale of all of the drawings is 1" is 100' and will be corrected to show that. 4. The City prefers that the drainage pond outlot on the southeast side of the project be changed with a different alignment. This may affect other property owners and Lundgren Bros. will work with the City to develop this new alignment. Should difficulty arise and this new alignment not be possible, and if the City elects to not use their right of eminent domain, then Lundgren Bros. would wish to develop the outlot as proposed rather than reach an impass delaying development. 5. The City is requesting access to Lake Riley Boulevard through the southeast cul-de-sac of the Rogers/Dolejsi Property. There is no benefit to the Rogers/Dolejsi Property for this connection nor any need. The development of the cul-de-sac creates lookout lots facing out to the east and protects the edge of the property for the existing neighbors along Lake Riley. Additional connection would only encourage additional traffic into both neighborhoods. This additional connection would not enhance the health, safety and welfare of either neighborhood. Lundgren Bros. will provide a 10-foot trail easement to connect the Lake Riley Boulevard neighborhood to the road system in the Rogers/Dolejsi project so that the Band mere Park may be more easily accessed by the area residents. This trail easement is proposed on Lot 14 of Block 5, adjacent to Lot 13. 6. The City is requesting an additional 10' R.O.W. dedication for Lake Riley Boulevard above what has been proposed by Lundgren Bros. The City staff is looking for an additional 20 feet and we are proposing to complete a dedication for Lake Riley Boulevard to maintain a 50-foot right-of-way for that neighborhood street. As Lake Riley Boulevard intersects with Lyman Boulevard, additional right-of-way has been shown as being dedicated by Lundgren Bros. These additional requests clearly show the kind of pressure that is being placed on this property to provide adequate right-of-way for permanent roads that do not directly serve this project. Lundgren Bros. proposes to continue with the dedication with Lake Riley Boulevard as proposed initially. Lake Riley Boulevard is presently a 40' R.O.W. 7. Parks - The applicant, in its negotiation with the Parks Director to dedicate 5.4 acres of land for public purpose, understood that a complete waiver of park and trail fees would take 10 29 93 09:51 $612 337 5601 DSU , INC. 0U4 004 Chanhassen City Staff 28 October 1993 Page 3 7. Parks - The applicant, in its negotiation with the Parks Director to dedicate 5.4 acres of land for public purpose, understood that a complete waiver of park and trail fees would take place. However, at the Parks Commission, the staff recommendation was to waive only the park fees. The Parks Commission supported the Park Director's recommendation. The applicant is requesting that the Planning Commission support the waiver of trail fees in exchange for land dedication. CITYOF CHANHASSENi 690 COULTER DRIVE • P.O.

Fire Department accessibility during Fire Ground Operations to homes south of Lyman on Lake Riley Blvd. is fair to poor. This is mainly due to the narrowness of the road and a below minimum standard size for a cul-de-sac. So far to date, the Fire Department has responded to 3 major structure fires on that particular stretch of road. Some of the specific problems that arose were severe congestion due to the narrowness. In the winter, snowpiles make it almost impossible to pass. There are also no fire hydrants on Lake Riley Blvd. and Deerfoot Trail; therefore, water tankers are used to shuttle water to the fire. This type of firefighting requires additional fire trucks from nearby communities, resulting in more congestion. The biggest factor is that due to the narrowness of the roads, and the inability to turn around,the tankers have to back in one at a time, dump its water and leave before a second truck can get to the fire scene. The delays could be costly. With the larger homes now being built, a faster water delivery system is paramount. Therefore, the Chanhassen Fire Department is recommending a second means of access to this affected area (Lake Riley Blvd.), and be made available through the proposed Dolejsi, Rogers project to the east. cc: Scott Harr, Public Safety Director Jim McMahon, Fire Chief Dave Hempel, Assistant City Engineer $ 6128350263 JACK HUNGELMANN 11/01/93 10.22 P01 — — JAC i GELMANN T.FRANCE AVENUE MON 'WAMANAGEMENT sun 702 AND INSURANCE SE'Ma 8 ` �1 ' E MIW dA.

CONSTRUCTION October 28, 1993 INC Lake Riley Boulevard and Deerfoot Trail Residents Chanhassen, MN Re. Rogers/Dolejsi Property 93°F Waf`tl._ Dear Chanhassen Resident: Way:aw, M'nnes i i fir+ Today, on Thursday, October 28,1993 (the day after our Neighborhood meeting), Lundgren Bros. Construction was informed by the City of Chanhassen Staff that (6124,...; -%a- the City would require an access directly from our proposed neighborhood to Lake Riley Boulevard This is a new condition and one we are opposed to. We feel this connection is unwarranted and not necessary. We do not believe that this additional street connection will improve the health; safety and welfare of anyone in either neighborhood. We were surprised by this additional condition and we wanted you to know right away so you can voice your own opinion at the Planning Commission meeting scheduled for Wednesday,November 3, 1993. If you have an opinion, it is very important that you represent yourself during the public hearing process. Please let me know if I can answer any questions. Very truly yours, TerTyNITTEr6ord Vice President TMF:bw CITY OF _ ClIANIIASSEN 690 COULTER DRIVE • P.O. BOX 147 • CHANHASSEN. MINNESOTA 55317 _ (612) 937-1900 • FAX (612) 937-5739 November 1, 1993 Dear Resident: Recently, you may have received a letter from Lundgren Brothers Construction, the developer who is proposing to build 134 homes on the Dolejsi/Rogers parcel, located along Lyman Boulevard between Lake Riley Boulevard and Highway 101. City staff was not copied in their mailing, however, we received a copy from one of your neighbors. The letter talks about a proposed connection between the development and Lake Riley Boulevard. It states that Lundgren Brothers is opposed to it and asks you to come to the Planning Commission meeting on November 3 to object to it. The City welcomes your attendance at all our meetings and encourages your participation. However. I believe the Lundgren letter is somewhat misleading and wanted you to have the facts. First of all, City staff normally works with a developer for many months prior to their submitting a plan. We attempt to work out major issues but typically others arise when we review the actual plans and get comments from other staff members and outside agencies. Thus, what was portrayed as a surprise is in fact the way the system is supposed to work. In a similar manner, the developer is often asked to change his proposal further based upon comments we receive from you at the public meetings. Secondly. we thought you should know the reason why we have requested a connection. As you are — aware, Lake Riley Boulevard is an older undersized street that runs 2300 feet to a dead end. There is not likely to be any significant additional development along it. This type of situation causes problems with the provision of emergency vehicles and other services. There is only one way in or out and this can easily be blocked. Snow plows and other vehicles must take twice the time to provide service since they must back track each time. The City Fire Marshal (memo attached) requested the additional access to Lake Riley Boulevard. He points out that there have been three major structure fires in the area. Due to the narrowness of the road. lack of available water and blockage due to snow piles, it is very difficult to operate effectively at a fire scene. Planning and Engineering staff have requested the connection to respond to this problem. It will cut the Lake Riley Boulevard dead end approximately in half by connecting to a full standard street. It will not introduce any additional traffic onto Lake Riley Boulevard. There is absolutely no reason for anyone from the new subdivision to enter your neighborhood. Your road does not go anywhere and the new development will have much better access to Lyman and Hwy 101. It will, however, allow you to gain access to the new Bandimere Park. The developer is likely to lose one lot to make the connection. I hope you have found this letter to be informative. Whether we find we agree on this issue or not, we want to encourage you to stay involved. The meeting starts at 7:30 p.m. on Wednesday, November 3 and is held in the Council Chambers at City Hall.

No. (612) 445-2613 November 3 , 1993 Honorable Brian Batzli Planning Commission Chairperson City of Chanhassen Dear Mr. Batzli: I am writing this letter as I will be unable to come to the commission meeting this evening. I am writing about a concern I have to the development of the Dolejsi-Rogers Property (the Property) . There was a neighborhood meeting held last Wednesday night by a representative from Lundgren Bros. This meeting was very informative. At that time I brought up this concern and I was assured my concern would be taken care of. I am bringing my concern before your committee so that it would be addressed in written form. On the western most side of the Property, the southwest corner, the farmer presently farming the field has done such a terrible job of soil conservation that soil erosion has formed a "dam" along the roadside (one would probably refer to it as the ditch) . This earthen dam has dramatically impeded the surface water run-off to the culvert that runs under Hwy 101. Over the last two years the surface water has been stopped to the point that the water now just evaporates. The representative from Lundgren Bros. told me there would be no problem clearing this out on "their side of the property line" . What about all the soil that has spilled over to my side and has raised the ground level on this corner? I feel that they could very easily (once the equipment is there) take off a few inches of the soil that has eroded onto my property. If you drive by the Property on Hwy 101 you will notice the culvert that is there to relieve the surface water run-off. Alongside of this culvert is a drain tile that empties, as does the culvert on the west side of 101. This drain tile runs along the road and up my property to where the city plans on putting soccer fields. Due to the large amount of soil erosion from this part of the property, the drain tile has had so much soil run-off that it is now plugged up. Is this the city's problem? Is this the current property owner's problem? I do not know whose prob- lem it is, but I would think that the money I pay to the City Page 2 City of Chanhassen Planning Commission November 3 , 1993 every quarter for water run-off should be able to be used to determine what should be done here. Attached please find a blow-up of the property that was sent out in which I have labeled the areas of my concern. If the surface water run-off can be corrected and the drain _ tile exit_ be cleared out, then I feel the Lundgren Bros. proposal will be a good development for the property. I have two issues with the City. One issue is the idea of leaving open the idea of having lights at Bandimere Community Park. Does the City not have lights at Lake Ann Park? Does the City not have additional unlit softball and soccer fields at Lake Ann Park? Then why does the City need to have more lit fields elsewhere? Add up the amount of fields left to be lit at Lake Ann. It would seem to me to be an absolute waste of everyones' efforts for the Park and Rec Dept. to continue to pursue the idea of lighting fields at Bandimere Park. This park has as much to do with the plans for this development. If we allow the Park and Rec Dept. to do whatever they want, there will be more conges- tion and more problems from this park than from any development that may come. The second issue is that of current and future abuses of the Bandimere Park property. Currently there is a person with an ATV that has been roving all along the park property with a german shephard dog that is unleashed. Since it appears that our prop- erty will be surrounded by Bandimere Park property on our east and south boundaries, we do not feel comfortable with the prob- able invasions on our privacy by thoughtless city residents.

Rogers/Dolejsi P.U.D. Proposal Dear Planning Commission Members: The proposed PUD on the Rogers/Dolejsi parcel has reasonable and verifiable enhancements that are not available through the normal planing process with the City. The benefits allow the developer more efficiency and market variety while giving the City enhanced standards of development. Lundgren Bros. is specifically looking for the PUD to offer the flexibility outlined in the intent of the PUD Ordinance. — The lot sizes on the site reflect the limitations of various environmental impacts on the site. These include noise and traffic buffering from busy roads, safety issues with the gas pipeline, proposed intense community park development and enhanced perimeter blending to adjacent neighborhoods. In developing a PUD, the City is getting an enhanced landscaping scheme beyond what is required in the Standard Subdivision Ordinance, quality home construction, and ample provisions for open space and site adjustments, specifically for City community park enhancement. Additionally, extra right-of-way is being dedicated to the City for Highway 101 that would not normally be required or received by the City. This right-of-way can enhance the City's ability to develop and adjust the road system in this area and would be a substantial contribution to the City's share of future project costs. (The dedication of ROW to the City for future Highway 101 gives the City negotiating strength with MnDot.) All of these attributes, in addition to Lundgren's normal high quality development attributes strongly support the PUD intent stated within the Ordinance. The lot sizes vary within the PUD as allowed in the Ordinance. The minimum is 11,000 square feet, but the net average lot size is 17,814 square feet and the gross average lot size is 26,266 square feet. The standard subdivision would not require the average lot size to be larger than 15,000 square feet. All of the lots have ample rear yards for decking and active yard as specified in the Ordinance. The minimum lot width is 90 feet and the minimum lot depth is 100 feet as required in the PUD Ordinance. The actual lot width, for instance, varies from 90 to 120 feet and lot depth varies with some lots exceeding 300 feet. Cite of Chanhassen 11 November 1993 Page 2 Attached to this letter is a complete breakdown of each lot stating lot size, lot depth and lot width. By reviewing this lot data, it becomes quite evident that there is a great variety of lots proposed in the subdivision as designed. The PUD Ordinance specifically encourages this type of lot diversity but does not require a percentage of lots to be a certain size. The PUD Ordinance requires that the — average lot size to be 15,000 square feet. The City in the past has included in their ordinance a 50 percent threshold for the number of lots below the 15,000 square foot standard. The development as proposed meets that standard. Any further reduction in the number of lots below 15,000 square feet would be the loss of lots and the loss of lots without subsequent cost savings. This would drive up the development cost per lot without yielding any perceived benefit to the future home buyers. The diversity of lot sizes includes lot width and lot depth creating many different types of lots to meet a varied home siting pattern that best adjusts to the conditions found on the site. The overall flexible lotting pattern is used to r-otect specific conditions found around the perimeter of the property. Along the north edge, additi. ' J depth and lot size has been added to protect the environmental concerns of a busy Lyman Boulevard with buffering from traffic. Also, Lundgren Bros. have voluntarily agreed to move Lyman boulevard southerly into the property to miss a wetland on the north side. This adjustment reduces land area available for lots, specifically to work around an adjacent wetland that isn't on Lundgren Bros.' Property. The lot sizes increase along Lyman Boulevard along the eastern end to accommodate existing drainage ways with wetland and to preserve a stand of trees on the northeast corner. The larger lots along the eastern edge are developed to blend in with the existing neighborhood along the shores of Lake Riley. This is designed specifically so that no new driveway cuts are proposed on Lake Riley Boulevard and the homes will not create additional traffic on that street. This helps preserve the scenic quality of the street and neighborhood. It also minimizes the need for grading along Lake Riley Boulevard, which would be needed if homes were placed with direct access to that street. This sensitivity to Lake Riley Boulevard creates inefficiency on the interior with additional right-of-way and larger lots created to accommodate this adjustment for the adjacent neighborhood. Along the southern edge, several conditions exist that the lotting pattern adjusts and blends to. On the southeast perimeter, existing homes are placed unusually close to the property line. The proposed new lots along this edge are in excess of a half acre to accommodate a greater separation between the existing homes and the proposed Lundgren neighborhood. This blending enhances both the propose and the adjacent neighborhood. The southern edge to the west primarily consists of large lots adjacent to the proposed active ball fields of the expanded Bandimere Park. This will minimize the condition where homes could be -- placed closer to the park and create friction between the intense activity of organized sports directly adjacent to rear yards. The additional lot depth on most of the lots will help blend the proposed subdivision to the new park plan. A landscape buffer is proposed on the closer lots. Along the western edge, large lots are developed specifically to buffer the neighborhood from the traffic on Highway 101 and to minimize the impact of the Williams Pipeline on the neighborhood. These lots are created with a great deal of lot depth to make sure that the homes can be built with enhanced buffering as proposed with the berms along the western edge. Berming cannot be placed on top of the pipeline so each lot has a great deal of open space in which to separate themselves from the highway. Without the PUD Ordinance, a normal subdivision wouldn't necessarily accommodate a pipeline and highway with very large lots. A road could be built on top of or close to the western side of the pipeline and additional lots could be placed closer to Highway 101. Also, if the right-of-way for 101 was not dedicated, homes could be built closer yet to the highway. Additional homes could be City of Chanhassen 11 November 1993 Page 3 accommodated in this area, but instead the large lots are planned along the perimeter in this area with smaller lots on the interior to minimize the negative impacts of the environmental concerns of high traffic and the underground pipeline. The overall landscaping plan proposed exceeds requirements for normal platting in the City of Chanhassen. In addition to the normally required boulevard trees, landscaping is found throughout the subdivision. Entrance monuments with fully landscaped settings are proposed at the two entrances on Lyman Boulevard. Additionally, the perimeter along Lyman Boulevard is landscaped with additional shade trees and evergreen trees to create an attractive edge to the entire neighborhood. This would not be a requirement of normal platting and is an enhancement and a betterment to the community that is afforded through the flexibility of the PUD. Additionally, landscaping is proposed with berming along Highway 101 and at the intersection of 101 and Lyman Boulevard. This enhancement creates an excellent buffer for the neighborhood and an attractive view for the traveling motorist on Highway 101. This also accommodates the dedication of a large piece of land for Highway 101 future construction. Highway 101 is proposed to be four lanes north of Lyman. South of Lyman, the right-of-way is necessary to accommodate the intersection with Lyman Boulevard and continuing the four-lane road down to the future Bandimere Park entrance. The only stand of trees on the site is along Lake Riley Boulevard and these are being preserved to maintain the adjacent neighborhood's character. Additional landscaping is proposed along the rear of lot lines adjacent to the expanded Bandimere Park. These are all enhancements that the City and future residents will he gaining in the development of this Planned Unit Development. Enclosed for your review are the architectural standards and model homes that will be built within the Lundgren Bros.' neighborhood. The development will also have covenants controlling architectural elements of the homes, as well as the use of yards, excluding activity such as recreational vehicle storage, clotheslines, etc. These covenants have been an element of all Lundgren Bros.' PUD neighborhood developments and are an additional assurance of long term quality control. These are not required in a standard subdivision. The covenants and Homeowners — Association will definitely be a benefit to each of the residents in the neighborhood, as well as to the City in maintaining a quality residential setting. Additionally, unattached garages are prohibited which would be permitted in a normal subdivision. The covenants also regulate dog kennels, _ accessory structures, etc. The architectural treatments of the individual homes include sturdy and energy' efficient 2" x 6" construction. Homes typically will have finished ends and not just front facade treatments. Code or better energy efficient construction with extra insulation in the attic is standard with a Lundgren Bros.' PUD neighborhood. All homes are required to have at least a two-car attached garage. Each home is placed on the curvilinear road system in such a way as to minimize the monotony of a more gridlike subdivision. Home placement and diversity of home styles within the neighborhood minimizes the track look, all of which could be standard fair in a subdivision on the property that is not created by utilizing the PUD process. These assurances and high performance of standards are dealt with in a developer's agreement with the City through the PUD process, which is not extensively available through a normal subdivision. The PUD has a very important feature which is not specifically addressed in the City Ordinance. The feature of development design that creates a neighborhood of uniqueness and identity, that instills in future residents a sense of home, neighborhood, and community that creates a secure place to raise families, should be a highly valued attribute of a PUD neighborhood. The design of the PUD is dependent upon a certain amount of flexibility and should be recognized in the Lundgren City of Chanhassen 11 November 1993 Page 4 plan that is being proposed. The road system is curvilinear with irregularly shaped lots creating the opportunity to have home placement following more diverse alignments and creating a high degree of character for neighborhood identity. This curvilinear design should be strongly supported by the City versus an efficient straight road and cookie cutter lot approach to meet minimum lot sizes under normal zoning. PUD types of neighborhoods create a great deal of long term value because of their design and neighborhood identity. Long term quality neighborhoods should be of prime interest to the City. The variety of lot choice speaks well for the diversity of citizen preferences, from large lots with open space that homeowners can garden and enjoy, to smaller lots that require low maintenance for those who have other activities more important than lawn mowing. These qualities, variety of choice, and the blending of the development to the adjacent neighborhoods and roads, are all distinct benefits to the community that are given through the design of the subdivision and the flexibility of the PUD. It is more than evident that the PUD process is a two-way benefit to both the City and the developer. These benefits are clear and verifiable and do not necessarily have to be based solely on saving trees or wetlands. Environmental concerns are broad and the design issues of quality neighborhoods extend well beyond the issues of trees and wetlands. The City should be encouraging the best under all conditions and creating a variety of homes for all citizens to enjoy. Lundgren Bros. attempts to build the best neighborhoods possible on a great variety of sites within the City of Chanhassen. Their commitment to quality continues and is greatly encouraged through the PUD process. Lundgren Bros. strives to be a developer of quality homes above the norm and serve a great variety of markets and neighborhood settings. The PUD allows Lundgren Bros. and the City to design and build the community together cooperatively seeking excellent neighborhoods for all future citizens.

Nelson 300 Deerfoot Trail Greg & Kelly Hastings 9217 Lake Riley Blvd. Bob Generous gave the staff presentation on this item. Batzli: Dave, could you talk a little bit about why another access is needed onto Lake Riley — Boulevard. Hempel: Certainly Mr. Chairman. Good evening. My name is Dave Hempel. We believe — another access is warranted to Lake Riley Boulevard due to the circumstances that exist out there today. Lake Riley Boulevard is essentially a 2,300 foot long dead end cul-de-sac. No future availability to loop the street back making the connection either to Kiowa Trail, which — is to the west, or north back into the subdivision due to grading constraints as well as existing homes in those wooded areas. By providing a secondary access from the cul-de-sac there located in the southeast corner of the site, you will essentially reduce the dead end street by half approximately. I do have a memo from the city's public safety Fire Marshal with regards to the public safety concerns that they've had on Lake Riley Blvd in the past. The _ street is fairly narrow. It's 21 foot wide. It does not have municipal water service. There is a well as well and there is sewer availability for the homesites. With this extension to Lake Riley Boulevard we're...upgrade Lake Riley Boulevard in any fashion. It will give the — 2 - 3 Planning Commission Meeting - November 3, 1993 property owners the opportunity with the feasibility study for bringing trunk utilities into the area... see if they're be interested in participating in the development to have water extended down Lake Riley Boulevard. Water could be extended down the boulevard area and...segment of roadway. In the past the city has had on occasion...contact them to see when water may be available for the area and basically without this type of development, we then say it may be 5-10 years, depending on development pressures. Mancino: So each individual resident can decide whether they want to hook up to water or not? Hempel: That's correct. We'll send out a survey and if there's enough interest to extend water down and we've probably have to have over 50% of the neighborhood requesting this water service before the City Council would decide whether or not... _ Mancino: So if 60% decide to, that they want water but the other 40% don't, do the other 40% still have to hook-up? Hempel: City ordinance states that they have 12 months to hook onto city water. That's something that could be left up to City Council to modify or give a variance to the existing homes if they do not want to hook up to city water. Scott: Dave, do all the property owners get assessed? Hempel: All the property owners would be, that... Scott: Whether or not they hook up? Hempel: Whether they hook up or not, that's correct...during the assessment hearing the City Council decides...connection charge so they pay for it at the time of connection. However, it's essentially deferred with interest accruing during that time. Scott: What if people decide not to hook up, would they still have the opportunity. The City Council would determine whether or not they are forced to do that within 12 months based upon the existing ordinance? Hempel: That's correct. Scott: Okay. Krauss: Just to clear that up a little bit. There is no proposal tied into this development to 3 Planning Commission Meeting - November 3, 1993 extend water down either Lake Riley or Kiowa. We have the ability to do it with this development because water's being brought into the area. As Dave points out, people have — contacted us from time to time about the possibility. We're not proposing to do it and won't do it until we're asked to do it basically is the way it sits. But now we have the ability to do it if we're asked. — Scott: Okay. Batzli: Dave, do you want to address the issue of the roadway width? In the past we have from time to time given the 50 foot setback. Hempel: Certainly. We have deviated on some occasions, deviated from the...60 foot wide right-of-way where we feel we're gaining something or we're preserving a wetland or a stand of trees or reducing grading...essentially an agricultural use right now. We're not preserving — anything on a 50 foot right-of-way. The street width, the utility excavation all will utilize up to 60 feet of the area anyway. So the city looks at in the future if we ever had to go back and do repairs on utilities down the road, we need additional width to be able to re-excavate to do repairs on utilities. Batzli: Is there an inordinate amount of land being dedicated for right-of-ways in this — project? Hempel: The applicant will say so in this situation. He is dedicating a lot of right-of-way — for future Trunk Highway 101 on the west side. He has met staff's recommendations as far as Lyman Boulevard right-of-way dedication due to the wetland located approximately, just on the north side of Lyman Boulevard about midway through the plat and will require the — roadway alignment be shifted farther to the south. However, the city's design for the upgrade of Lyman Boulevard has been reduced somewhat over the last year since the Eden Prairie _ with the golf course and that. It will not make it necessary to make a 4 lane wide road as we originally thought. We're envisioning more of a 36 foot wide type street. Therefore, the additional right-of-way may not be required in the future. However, it's nice to have the — flexibility at this time both for storm water ponding purposes in the future and roadway alignments. Any additional right-of-way not used can be vacated back to the applicant. The initial right-of-way along Lake Riley Boulevard. Currently we have 40 feet of right-of-way — except for the northeast corner of the site. The right-of-way does meander back and forth. The City would like to maintain the 60 foot wide right-of-way, which is our standard which is also along Kiowa to the south is a 60 foot right-of-way. As Bob previously mentioned, the — previous subdivision along Lake Riley Boulevard, Shore Acres, did dedicate 33 feet at that time which is one-half the normal 66 foot wide right-of-way at that time so the city did acquire another 7 feet when the sewer line was put in... — 4 Planning Commission Meeting - November 3, 1993 Scott: Dave, if the right-of-way for Lake Riley Boulevard is expanded to 60 feet, what happens to the property on both sides? Is it going to be taken, is it 10 feet from one side and 10 feet from the other? Is that how it works? Hempel: At this time the property owners on the east side have dedicated the necessary right-of-way with their plat. We would be looking for the additional right-of-way that would be dedicated with the plat before us this evening. They're currently proposing 10 feet. We are requesting an additional 7 feet to...60 foot wide right-of-way. Scott: Okay. Batzli: Let me ask you one more question. The pipeline easement. Did the State recently change it's rules regarding construction or anything for pipeline safety in view of the accident in St. Paul? Hempel: Mr. Chairman, I'm not very familiar with any rules that may have changed. I know that the current policy is they don't want to see any kind of grading disruption in their easement area generally. They want to keep their 3 to 4 foot of cover over the pipe... The applicant's plan here does a good job of that. They're proposing one crossing basically the storm sewer in the southwest corner of the development. Batzli: What about location of housing pads and things like that? Is that taken care of when they come in for the construction permit then? You look for the location of the pipeline and the pad? Hempel: That is shown on the preliminary grading plan. The relationship to the proposed — house plans and there does appear to be sufficient room between the pipeline easement and the house pads for additional decks that may be added on in the future. One particular lot up _ here that may be fairly close would be Lot 9 of Block 1 there. Otherwise the remaining lots... Batzli: Let me ask you one final question Paul. I assume that, and forgive me if I'm in error here. But we have not seen, have we seen this as a conceptual kind of thing or is this kind of dual tracking so that this is going to be it? Krauss: Yes, it is dual tracking. The conceptual stage of the PUD is optional. Batzli: Right. 5 Planning Commission Meeting - November 3, 1993 Krauss: We typically recommend it but it's not required. This is, it's a fairly complex subdivision but it's not a very complex PUD and there really didn't seem to be all that much to be gained by going through a... Batzli: Okay. — Farmakes: We have a reading of the intent statement of a PUD. I'm not sure I, is that something we can ask staff to do? Is that a page long or? — Batzli: The intent section of our current PUD. The various findings or the rezoning to PUD starting on page 4 of our staff report. Are those the factors? I mean we have an additional — intent statement do we not? Intent paragraph for PUD. Paul, do you recollect off the top of you head? Krauss: No, I don't recollect. Mancino: There is one at the beginning. — Krauss: You mean a general intent? Batzli: Yeah. Krauss: Yeah. Batzli: Okay. There is a general intent paragraph that's not set forth in our report right? — Krauss: If so, that was an omission but yes, there is a general one and a specific one. Batzli: Right. Well these are the specific ones that are listed. You don't happen to have the general one handy on you? Krauss: No. I didn't bring my... Batzli: Unless there's any other questions, does the applicant have a presentation? — John Uban: Good evening. My name is John Uban. I'm a consultant planner here representing Lundgren Bros. We do want to make a short presentation and we feel that you — probably really want to discuss some of the attributes of the proposal and maybe specifically some of the issues on the roads. But here with us, Terry Forbord of course who you know from Lundgren Bros. Pete Molinaro with Pioneer Engineering is here to answer any — 6 — Planning Commission Meeting - November 3, 1993 engineering type questions you might have. The first thing I'd like to go through is why a PUD and what is happening on this particular site that is sort of driving our design and what are we taking into account that we worked over many months, especially this summer with parks and city staff. This first board I'd like to show you is the subject property. Of course Lyman Blvd on the north side. Highway 101 on the far west side. On the east is actually _ Lake Riley and then Lake Riley Boulevard which is single loaded meaning that the lots are just on the lakeshore side. And then on the south, Kiowa and Bandimere Park over in this area...On this development we have about 80 acres and the first thing you need to look at is that we have added additional right-of-way which we believe is usually beyond the character of a normal subdivision. 4.7 acres has been added for Lyman Blvd along the north. Now that includes, if you look at this drawing, a fairly irregular pattern. We've been adding extra to that alignment so that the alignment can curve around wetlands to the north. So we are trying to change the pattern absorbing on our perimeter a greater burden to make an environmental setting more protected. Also on Highway 101, this is State right-of-way. We're dedicating, we're showing here. We're not proposing at this point to charge the State or anyone else for this right-of-way but it's part of our dedication to significantly widen that right-of-way so that TH 101 can move towards this property. So once again we have a large amount of right-of-way, 3.1 acres that we're dedicating. And then on Lake Riley Boulevard, although we have proposed no access to it, basically the lots that we have, had their own road system and look out over this roadway, it is about a 40 foot right-of-way today and we have proposed to put it to a 50 foot right-of-way which is similar to the street level that we have inside the subdivision. In addition, for other platting reasons, a variety of odd shapes along Lake Riley Boulevard that we're dedicating in addition to that. So we have in total all dedication of right-of-way, I think it's 17.8 acres out of 80 acres. And what we found when we kind of compared all of this, is on the Song property, which you have seen recently, 11.6% of that subdivision was for right-of-way both on the adjacent county road and with the collector inside and the local road system. On Johnson/Dolejsi/Turner, which was the project directly to the west of the Song project, it was about 17%. Here on the Roger/Dolejsi property it's 22% and so that percentage has really gotten to be a very large part of the — development on this property and we saw here that what we were really trying to do then is develop our largest lots around the perimeter to protect the development from those very busy roads. We're dedicating additional right-of-way and we're making perimeter lots as large as possible. Also, many of the lots that overlook Bandimere Park on the north side of it are larger also. These large lots on the perimeter combined with that right-of-way is absorbing a great amount of this project so we're trying to tighten up the interior and this is the flexibility we're looking for in the PUD. The other thing that has happened, and I'll show it a little bit, is the Williams Pipeline. And what has happened is not only that you don't want to build a _ house on top of it, which is pretty obvious. But the pattern of it is such that if we didn't have to dedicate TH 101 right-of-way, we could have put a roadway on the alignment for instance of the pipeline and have moved our subdivision over all the way to the west. And 7 Planning Commission Meeting - November 3, 1993 this would have worked out as a good pattern. But since we're dedicating this amount, and with the slopes in that area, we had to really move our homes all the way to the east side of that pipeline. So that's why those lots have ended up being very large and that's the general impact that that pipeline has on us. We also have worked with the parks department to enlarge Bandimere and so this park has enlarged by 5.3 acres and this, on the south side — Bandimere Park has experienced some problems with trying to develop that park because they have the pipeline. They can't grade heavily where that pipeline exists. It's a parcel that's oddly shaped. It appeared at first that that would be very good for single family housing. We could work around it. When we tested it, working with the parks department, it didn't look like we could really use that piece very well because we may have wanted to swap pieces. So instead we're dedicating 5.3 acres. This allows their park to expand without — heavy grading and will be a significant cost savings to the city. All of these then combined gave us the pressure, the need for flexibility within the subdivision for PUD and that is specifically why we are asking for a 50 foot right-of-way. What does that 50 foot right-of- way do? One, it was our understanding as we worked with staff in the past that this type of flexibility is the kind of flexibility you would look for in the PUD so it does several things. Number one, it keeps us from one, absorbing even more land as right-of-way but it increases our interior road system right-of-way by 20% in addition to the amount that we're already giving and we're up to 22% of the whole subdivision is road. So it saves that amount a burden. — Batzli: Does your 22% include your internal roadways? John Uban: Yes. Batzli: Okay. John Uban: In addition to that, it allows us to compact our grading a little bit so that we can — keep our grading in a little more compacted to the street and the pads. It shortens driveways by 5 feet to each home. It shortens the stub for all the utilities by that amount so it allows some cost savings and some economy within the subdivision itself. So it's grading, utilities and pavement, all of which less pavement means less runoff. All of this helps a great deal in our subdivision and it's really this extreme burden of right-of-way that we look for and needed the flexibility on the interior to condense it as much as we possibly could. Now in — looking at a PUD, and this is perhaps a frightful board to be showing but the PUD is really to create a pattern that is very delightful. This is a typical grid. When you have a subdivision ordinance that says so many feet of right-of-way. So many feet for setbacks, you typically are describing a grid system. This is not what we want to do and so the PUD is to encourage this much more natural flowing type of subdivision. In this we'd gain more lots but that's not our goal either. What we're proposing is a development that has a road system that's — 8 — Planning Commission Meeting - November 3, 1993 very curvalinear. Creates very attractive neighborhoods. It uses the topography, the ponding system to really create a variety of lots. Walkout lots. Lots that move up and down the street and once again using our strategy of curving the street to create varied andinteresting settings for the homes so the neighborhood is not boring. The interior road system is designed to include...lot in the middle. We include the Bandimere Park and we have proposed a connection to the south. This is in our discussions with staff that it was good, in their opinion, to connect to the south and we have done that. The large lot right next to. Kiowa is the Dolejsi homestead and they will be there on that large lot, that they could subdivide that in the future. The other issue that we want to talk about is whether or not this cul-de-sac should extend to Lake Riley Blvd. We don't think there's a real need for it. We're dedicating additional right-of-way for Lake Riley. We obviously don't need to access that road. The parks department has asked for a trail connection and although we would rather now, that's a possibility through that portion of the site. We've been cooperating with them whenever we can on this. That connection through is something that we don't think that we need as a subdivision. We think our subdivision works a lot better without it because it creates it's own perimeter. All those lots are looking out over Lake Riley and we'd rather keep them in that configuration rather than turning them back in a different direction to actually access off the street that goes down to Lake Riley. So it has some very definite impacts for us to put that through. In addition, there's more right-of-way again that comes out of the subdivision. We would like to then really ask that you review the two issues. One of 60 foot right-of-way. That request. We strongly want to keep it 50 feet. We think it's very important in this specific subdivision that we're adjusting all the perimeter edges to save wetlands or give more right-of-way where it's needed and we need the flexibility on the inside. The option is, if it is to be 60, we would like then to have a 25 foot front yard setback instead of the 30. That way the house pad, utilities, driveways can all stay as we had designed and it's really sort of technically saying, should we make the right-of-way 60 with a 25 foot setback or make the right-of-way 50 with a 30 foot setback on each front yard. And so we believe we have a very good physical situation and one of those two combinations would be okay with us. But we would prefer the 50 foot right-of-way. Also we would prefer to keep our dedication for Lake Riley Blvd to be for a full compliment of right-of-way to equal 50 feet. And we would prefer not to connect our cul-de-sac to Lake Riley because we don't believe we really need that. So those are the three basic issues and we would turn it back to you for discussion. Thank you. Batzli: Thank you. Does anyone have a question for the applicant before we open it up for public comment? Did you have more? I'm sorry, was that it? Okay. Farmakes: I have something. Batzli: Go ahead. 9 Planning Commission Meeting - November 3, 1993 Farmakes: I have a request. Can we see the original roman grid that you showed? I just want to review it if I could. I don't have any general questions. I just haven't seen that. — John Uban: If you find it displeasurable, that's understandable. Farmakes: I'm sure I'll find it delightful. Batzli: Okay, thank you. — Scott: Paul, I've got a question for you. I heard the comments on the dedication for Lyman Blvd and TH 101 right-of-ways. Is that optional or is that a requirement by the city that they — dedicate that much because of ordinance? Because of future plans to upgrade. Because it sounded like it was, well we're doing this because we're great guys. Are they doing that because they're great guys or is it something that's required by ordinance? — Krauss: Well, it may be fair to say that...but Lyman Blvd is a city street that clearly needs to be improved. We've had people from the neighborhood telling us for several years that's a — problem that they'd like to see addressed even before any developments. The TH 101 right- of-way issue is less clear. Under court rulings and the state, they're not in a rush to lock up or require that right-of-way be locked up for MnDot. It's nice that they're willing to do it. We could require them to place it in an outlot that would be required by MnDot or whoever improved TH 101 at some point in the future but it's also land that they have a very tough time accessing because of the location of the pipeline. So I think it's fair that it's kind of a — little of both. Mancino: If another development came in let's say across the street, on the other side. On the west side of TH 101. Wouldnt we also ask for right-of-way? Krauss: For TH 101? We can't. Mancino: We absolutely can't? — Krauss: Well I think you just saw that when we had the townhome development that was built on a highway. They platted it as an outlot but the owner fully intends to be in a — position to sell it to MnDot at some point in the future. Batzli: Well let's put it this way then. What keeps them from building in the right-of-way for a State trunk highway? 10 — — Planning Commission Meeting - November 3, 1993 Krauss: Well, there's a couple of programs that we can use with...I am not as clear, I mean the law clearly says we can't take it for free. I mean if it's offered we can accept it. — Because it's not a city road, it's part of a regional roadway system, we can't obligate an individual property owner to pay for it...by the right-of-way. What we have done though is, again we've done it in Lake Susan Hills. We've done it other places. We've set aside these areas that are going to be impacted as outlots. That the developer holds onto it until such time as the Highway Department is in a position to acquire it...fair market value for it. Batzli: Terry, did you want to say something? Terry Forbord: Mr. Chair, members of the Planning Commission, Terry Forbord. Let me try to clarify why the right-of-way along TH 101 is shown as it is. We've met with staff over probably more than a year on this and the first thing you try to do is you sit down and try to smoke out all the issues. There may be physical constraints on the site. We did talk about the right-of-way for TH 101 and we raised the question because if you look on half section maps of the city, it is shown the diagram of TH 101 is much broader than what actually exists now. And we contacted the state to get a clarification from them because we wanted to know what is planned for here because we assumed that we brought in a proposal to the city that showed us platting this large lot, the city would probably raise the question. Well wait a minute. What's going to happen to it someday. In the future we thought we should be — prepared to address that. So MnDot came back to us and said, well here is what our future plans for right-of-way acquisition in this area is. And we need to respond...212 where it's planned to be someday if it ever gets built. This is pretty far away from this general — intersection in this area. MnDot has fairly large schemes for TH 101 just south of that area where it intersections with Lyman Blvd. So it became more of a common sense situation. Rather than us bringing in plans to show where we could put a bunch of houses in here, I think I interpreted there was a consensus with staff and with Lundgren Bros that in reality someday this highway is going to be wider here and rather than submit a proposal to the city that would cause somebody at that point in time to say, well wait a minute. What's going to happen with this area. We thought it should be addressed at this point. MnDot indicated to us this is the right-of-way that we're going to want and so we thought, this was the best way _ that the city would want to pursue this. Maybe we were wrong. Maybe we should have come forward and shown this as part of the development but I guess we looked at it from a practical standpoint. That was my understanding of how we proceeded with it, as it relates to TH 101. Batzli: Thank you. I'd like to open it up for public comments now. If you'll please give us your name and address for the record before you begin speaking, I would appreciate it. Would anyone like to address the commission. 11 Planning Commission Meeting - November 3, 1993 Jamie Heilicher: My name is Jamie Heilicher and I live at 9280 Kiowa Trail which is directly south of this proposed development. My biggest concern which has not been addressed with the developer is two fold. One, obviously the grading to make sure that we don't have additional storm water runoff that we currently have because of the current grading. The second is the access to Kiowa Trail by this development. There's a number of major issues there. One being that the streets here are designed to be 31 feet where Kiowa Trail currently is 18 feet wide. You've got a lot of additional traffic that obviously will flow south out of this development through a very narrow street that currently exists south of this — development. The second and the most concerning is obviously the access to the new proposed regional park for walking traffic will be at the intersection where this development meets up with Kiowa Trail. There's currently land that the city owns a short strip in — connection to this park. And I assume that the city is intending to use that as it's walking access because based on this development there is no walking access to that park for this, for the people who live here as well as in the Lake Riley Blvd area. Obviously access to this — park is going to be directed at walking traffic. So the concern there is if they get the traffic flow is south from this development, at some point to access TH 101 at a point south or to go south, there will be additional traffic tapping that point which obviously is an additional — burden on walking traffic and a danger to pedestrians walking to town. Batzli: Excuse me one moment. Bob, do you have an overhead, a map, location map of the — surrounding? Scott: Yeah becauses in my mind I'm thinking that you have Bandimere and the slope is pretty extreme from this section down to TH 101. Generous: Not really. It shows... Krauss: If I understand what Todd Hoffman, the Recreation Director was telling me, there's _ some accuracy to what you're saying. This is, what he termed a secondary access into • Bandimere would come off from the Kiowa area so people could walk in there. It may have a small parking area for people that may drive up from Lake Riley or whatever. The major — entrance for Bandimere would be off of TH 101 with a major parking lot over on that side. It's clear that they don't want to turn their backs on people from the neighborhood that just want to walk into there and that's probably... _ Jamie Heilicher: I guess the concern we have obviously is those of us who live in this Kiowa street area is the additional traffic which would obviously move south...and would go down our street...is the city prepared to widen our street to give it appropriate access or the other option obviously is what is termed a greenway which allows the appropriate access for emergency vehicles but limits the traffic through that area. Obviously the key there is that 12 Planning Commission Meeting - November 3, 1993 anyone that lives up in the northern part of this development would have no reason to travel south if there was no access. So there will be a lot of children moving south along the development to access the park because obviously their parents aren't going to want them to access it through the TH 101 access so they're going to be moving south to this development to access the park where Kiowa Trail and this development meet. Obviously the intent there would be to limit traffic flow south of the development to reduce potential traffic accidents. Batzli: Okay, thank you very much. Do you want to address the erosion issue in any event? Hempel: Certainly Mr. Chairman. Storm water return, the developer here has recommended a fairly well laid out storm, comprehensive storm water management plan for that entire development. If I can use his exhibit. Basically looking at 5 storm water retention ponds... the development in all 6 phases. First phase is up in this area here. You currently have a drain system that drains through the wetland on the north side of the road. South underneath Lyman Blvd to a proposed enhancement or enlargement of the existing low lying area that's acting as a storm retention area now. With that storm sewer network would be extended along the boulevard either...when this phase is developed or when the upgrade of Lyman Blvd. They have another storm water retention pond which will take street runoff from the street, and those front yard areas into the pond. This chain of ponds eventually will line up down in the northeast corner where a low quality wetland at this time exists. We'll look at enlarging that sometime down the road with the upgrade of Lyman Blvd. Modify that... retention ponds for water quality prior to discharging the wetland. The major wetland area that we're trying to protect is actually on the north side of Lyman Blvd. It's a fairly large wetland area which then discharges underneath Lake Riley Blvd into Lake Riley. There currently exists right now, there's a culvert underneath Lyman Blvd to take the runoff from the agricultural fields and the landscape stock area and it's creating quite an erosion problem downstream. This project will actually remedy some of that problem and possibly pretreat the water prior to discharging into the wetlands. Another problem area of the city has experienced over the last few years is the storm water runoff from the agricultural field as well as the landscape stock area in this location which drains through the Sunny Slope Addition. It's a private street system off of Lake Riley Blvd and it continues on through Sunny Slope, underneath Lake Riley Blvd and discharges into Lake Riley. There's a very, very small storm water sediment trap essentially down here located on the north side of Lake Riley Blvd. ...too small for the overall drainage area that's going into it over all these years so with this development will remedy that problem as well. The situation there however is a little more complicated. We would like to see the storm water piped eventually between the houses through Sunny Slope Addition all the way down to Lake Riley Blvd and tap into that little storm water basin will pick up that runoff which comes from Lake Riley Blvd and the Sunny Slope Addition...this new pipe which would then directly discharge into Lake Riley. All that water would be pre-treated prior to discharging into the lake so...water quality there. 13 Planning Commission Meeting - November 3, 1993 — Another area of concern is down here. There's a resident by the name of Kevin Finger that this small wetland lies just south of the development here which flows westerly along the ditch. They've been using culverts on TH 101. This flows into a large wetland basin to the west. During the agricultural practices over the last number of years, sediments have washed out and filled in a lot of the wetland area as well as the ditch that outlets this and...culvert underneath TH 101 and MnDot...maintenance on that. With this development again they're going to be creating a couple of water quality retention ponds on the site to pre-treat runoff prior to discharging into the ditch section underneath TH 101 to the wetland. It will also eliminate the current sediment, the water problem that's been going down to the Finger property. So the overall development we see correction of a couple water problems, storm water problems we've had in the area at really very low cost to the city overall. A couple other issues that were raised was the access to Kiowa. Kiowa, according to our storm water — street management program. We went out and inventoried all the streets in the city. Kiowa Trail is a 24 foot wide section of rural type roads. It does not have gravel shoulders. It's _ like bitumious curb within a 60 foot wide right-of-way. It's approximately 1,800 feet long with no secondary access. Basically there's a turn around at the south property line of this development. Access from the Lundgren's development through Kiowa...major traffic — patterns for the area. It is our belief that most of them will exit Lyman Blvd to TH 101 and head north to TH 5 and ultimately when 212 is developed, that will be the major traffic flow. There will of course be some traffic from TH 101 to Pioneer Trail. That's a favorite route of _ some people. They believe it will have less traffic but we don't believe that you're going to have 133 households traveling south along Kiowa Blvd. As part of this project we're not envisioning any necessity to widen or upgrade Kiowa Trail because of this development. At — some future date when the residents wish to petition to have the street system brought up to standards with storm water and curb and gutter and watermain installation, that would be the time that this should be upgraded. As far as pedestrian traffic to the park, it is a very valid concern. I would envision a pedestrian crossing at the T intersection in this location here to provide a safe access for pedestrian traffic down to Bandimere Park. The city does have a small piece of right-of-way here, I think that's West 92nd Street is what it's called on the — plat. That will gain access for the park. The engineering department believes that this is another reason we need to have a 60 foot wide right-of-way is the implementation of sidewalks basically...pedestrian traffic will have safe access, off street access to gain the route down to the Bandimere Park. I believe that's all the concerns that were raised at this time. Batzli: Okay, thank you. — Mancino: Can I ask you one thing? Do the residents on Kiowa Trail right now have sewer or water service? — Hempel: They currently have sanitary sewer service. No water. They're on wells. 14 Planning Commission Meeting - November 3, 1993 Batzli: Okay. Yes sir. You in the red plaid will be next. Eldon Berkland: My name is Eldon Berkland, 9261 Kiowa Trail and just to elaborate on Jaimie's comments and to argue a little bit with Dave Hempel. We feel there'd be quite a bit of traffic. If you look on your maps, you can see where it's illustrated here. TH 101 takes a big turn...of Bandimere Park and then'goes south to Pioneer Trail. Most of these homes here when they would be going southbound, would use Kiowa Trail. Your facts when you say that the road is 24 feet wide. When we measured, it measured 18 to 20. It's a very narrow road. It's very curvy. It's hilly. I invite you to go out and take a look at the area. Get familiar with the area. We think it would be a very hazardous situation to have that amount of traffic on the road. We have a neighborhood park on our property. On our street. Our children enjoy walking to the park currently and that would be hazardous thing to do to allow them to go out...very busy. I do have a letter if I could distribute to you also. We asked why this connection. Why is everybody so upset that we have an 1,800 foot road without an exit. We were told by Terry Forbord that they prefer not to do this connection also. That it was a public safety concern with the city. So I called up Scott Harr and asked him what the public safety concern was and he said basically that Mark Littfin, the Fire Marshal had expressed some concern about egress from the property and things. So I had a meeting with Mark Littfin and asked him and he said he really didn't have a lot of concern about Kiowa Trail having the secondary egress or way out of the area. He said that the driveways are long. That they didn't envision they would have a lot of problems with fire trucks. Even if, so it didn't appear that there would be a lot of public safety concern about this. Even if you feel that there needs to be this connection, and again what it seems in other communities...in Chaska. I'm a paramedic. I drive an ambulance service for St. Francis in Shakopee and in Chaska between Tuskeny Hills off of Jonathan Boulevard and the Eitel Court, Eitel Circle area off Hundertmark Road, Tuskeny Hills is a new development. They had similar issues being expressed and they settled on a compromise. Having an area, basically two cul-de-sacs come to an end. They graded it out to allow emergency vehicle traffic or city traffic but prevent the public from using this area unless it's needed by an emergency situation or for city vehicles and that's what we'd like to propose for this area. That also would solve the problems about that access to the Bandimere Park area and that's what we'd like you to consider. Thank you. Batzli: Thank you. Just to respond to your comment a little bit. We constantly tried to maintain secondary accesses to long cul-de-sac streets. In other words, we try to avoid them. We do have a rule on our books that your street wouldn't be able to be built today and it surprises me that our Public Safety and Fire people didn't express the public safety concern a little bit more strongly because they certainly show up at the City Council meetings and profess that these are valid concerns and they tell us repeatedly that they are. So I don't know what the circumstances were with your conversation with them but obviously they've 15 Planning Commission Meeting - November 3, 1993 — been telling our city engineering and planning staffs that this is a concern. And for good planning purposes, we'd rather not have it be a concern and we do try to link up streets because it's safer. So I understand what you're saying though and obviously you've gone and talked to the right people and for some reason or another they put us between a rock and a hard place because they're telling you directly that it's not such a big deal but we hear from them every other day of the week, it's a big deal. So I don't know what to say. — Krauss: If I could touch on that a little bit. What you say Chairman Batzli is accurate. I mean there is always an intent to connect these streets...at some point in the past and it — always raises similar issues. I don't want to launch into my speech. You've heard it too often so...but there are legitimate public safety concerns being raised. In this particular instance the Fire Marshal and Public Safety did not actively ask us to pursue the Kiowa — connection. They did however empathically ask us to pursue the Lake Riley connection and there was a letter sent out to the people on Lake Riley Blvd that copied the Fire Marshal on that where he points out that they've had 3 major fires on Lake Riley Blvd and they don't have the room to maneuver equipment on Lake Riley Blvd to adequately fight the fires. Relative to the idea of dancing cul-de-sacs where they come up to each other but don't join. We've had experiences with that in this community. We've had experiences with it in other — communities. The unfortunate fact is they really don't work very well. We saw that up in the northern part of the community where we had an artificial barrier that was placed across the street for several years. People would try to knock it down. You'd have to build it — bigger. They'd go around on somebody's lawn. They'd still do it. School buses wouldn't come up the streets because there was a dead end. We had people petitioning the City Council to make the connection because school buses wouldn't come up. And the fire trucks — got caught on the wrong side of a fire. They're difficult to maintain. They work fine in the summer when you can drive across it. In the winter when snow gets piled up through it, you're pretty unlikely to be able to drive an emergency vehicle through that. We've looked at those in several instances. We ultimately tore that one out. That is now a thru street. Whether or not this connection is made, I would not encourage anybody to think that that kind of situation accomplishes a whole lot because in our point of fact it doesn't, from our experience. Mancino: ...the traffic that's going south. Hempel: That could be done through our traffic study program that we do. We actually do it _ bi-annually. Once every 2 years. The State Safety Council counts cars. Krauss: Yeah, but you know you shouldn't mislead anybody either. Unless the extensions — made, it's unlikely to be severed at that point in time. What you can do is try to structure a subdivision so that there's disincentives to using the street. By the way, in the case of Lake 16 Planning Commission Meeting - November 3, 1993 Riley Blvd, there's absolutely no reason why anybody from this development would ever go down Lake Riley Blvd. It doesn't go anywhere. The issue that's being raised with the Kiowa Pioneer Trail connection has potentially a little more validity because a lot of people do use that connection to get on out of there. I'm not certain how much that's going to occur. Well since TH 5's been upgraded...212 is going to happen sometime but I wouldn't pin your hopes on that. That's right now planned for 1998 and it slides every time a gas tax is vetoed. But there are ways to build in disincentives to use local streets. Batzli: Okay, yes sir. Jack Ardoyno: My name is Jack Ardoyno and I live on 9235 Lake Riley Blvd. It's about 5 homes from the very end of Lake Riley Blvd and the cul-de-sac. Ray Lewis, one of my neighbors, is going to bring a petition up tonight and address the reasons why many of the homeowners along that strip don't want the access from the subdivision to Lake Riley Blvd and I would like to sort of get a jump on it a little bit and add it from a little bit different perspective. I'm opposed to that thru street from the development to Lake Riley Blvd from this point of view. I was present at the last fire that the Fire Chief mentioned in his letter. For most of the time I distributed coffee to the fire fighters about all the time that that fire was going and I don't believe another access from this subdivision would have any impacts whatsoever on the access from the first fire tank to get to a fire on that street. And so the subsequent difficulty that they may have would be in getting additional trucks in. One of their trucks broke down and blocked the road for part of the time. So I think utility for Lake Riley Blvd in case of a fire and the access for fire trucks is limited first of all to a small number of lots there that would actually benefit. For getting a tank truck through this subdivision would actually take longer than coming down Lake Riley Blvd in the first case. _ So I don't think it would do very much benefit for that and having built subdivisions in the southern suburbs myself, I think it's a little bit cavalier to say the developer can lose the lot and it won't be a big concern to them. I think they've engineered some good subdivisions here and I think in addition to perhaps losing a lot here, they would also have to build and pay for that street. You'd have additional rain water runoff that none of us want and so I'm opposed to it for those reasons. I also wasn't very much concerned that the Kiowa Trail because it doesn't directly affect me but having listened to some of the comments tonight, to me it seems an absurb idea to have a cut through to Kiowa Trail from there. First of all you've got a very narrow road and I've had experience with a number of subdivisions in the past and it's guaranteed that the people here will use this for southern egress. Guaranteed. Probably 60% or 80% of them will do that when they've coming from the south and I know that all those people on Kiowa Trail don't want that to happen so, those are my objections. Batzli: Thank you. Okay, so there are several supporters for those comments. Would anyone else like to address the commission? Yes sir. 17 Planning Commission Meeting - November 3, 1993 Barry Bershow: Barry Bershow at 9271 Kiowa Trail. Two points made. One is to reinforce with a little different perspective on why we fear the traffic so much, especially in light of the possibility of a cut being made to the Lake Riley Blvd. If in fact the Fire Marshal feels that that is the more important cut to be made in order to protect the homes on Lake Riley Blvd, what you're going to create is not only egress for the homes in the development south into — Shakopee and onto Pioneer Trail, but you'll also create a very convenient shortcut for the apartment complex. A very large apartment complex up here to come right down Lake Riley Blvd, cut over through this development here and then south rather than come all the way — over here and wrap around. So we'll be seeing traffic not from 130 homes, and I don't know how many apartments are there. I didn't research that before tonight but probably a couple of hundred or 300 cars driving through our 18 to 20 foot road. So that was one thing I wanted to say. Reinforce the no cut and connection onto Kiowa Trail. Although it's true that you like to make those connections. Those of us who moved to Chanhassen 17 years ago and _ moved particularly onto a dead end cul-de-sac road because that's what we wanted, you should at least take those things into consideration before changing around. And the last thing I wanted to say which hasn't been brought up tonight, but I remember when Mr. Wing — and Mr. Mason were running for office. They pledged at one meeting that as this park was developed, that they would provide bike and walking access from the downtown area into the park. And we're concerned because Kiowa, excuse me, because TH 101 which is a trail — many of us run or bicycle on trying to get up to the city itself, is windy. It's curvy. It's hilly and has about 4 inches of shoulder and frequently I've almost died walking or running or biking with my child on that road and so we feel that a walkway, bikeway path along the west edge of this development from Bandimere Park north towards the city would be a very important first step in development the entire walk, bike pathway system that the city really needs to do if they're going to develop a regional park down in this area. And I know that — there's nothing north of this right now to connect it to but this is really the time to start developing that pathway like Eden Prairie has done all along and if you do it before those homes get in, you won't have to worry about making a hard sell later to the houses that are — already there and cutting through their lot. Batzli: Kind of like tonight? — Jack Ardoyno: Yeah. Right. With the Williams Pipeline across the back of those properties, and those properties already being some of the largest in the development, it wouldn't hurt really to put along the extreme western edge...pathway. And I have a letter in support of that that I'd like to enter in. Thank you. Batzli: Thank you. Would anyone else like to address the Commission? Yes sir. 18 Planning Commission Meeting - November 3, 1993 Bill Bernhjelm: My name is Bill Bernhjelm. I live at 9380 Kiowa Trail. I'm here to oppose the connection of Kiowa to this development. I'm also a member of the Public Safety Commission. I understand the arguments of Mr. Littfin regarding the instances that occured on Lake Riley Blvd. I am concerned about the traffic. When I attended last week's presentation by Mr. Forbord, he laid out the development and talked about the sensitive neighborhood and so on and so forth that would be created in this development but by making the connection I think it will destroy the sense of neighborhood that already exists on Kiowa Trail. I'm a career police officer. I've been in law enforcement over 25 years and the cul-de-sac that you see here are essentially a community's way of creating a sense of neighborhood and those kind of things that we hear about now, they say when they talk about community oriented policing and so forth, that's the essence of this. Is to create a neighborhood feeling for folks so they look out for each other and they don't have to pay thousands and thousands of dollars in taxes to have the police kind of try to watch out for them. We have a dead end street now. We have essentially a long cul-de-sac. We look out for each other. We do have a fair amount of traffic on that street already due to Chanhassen's most famous resident and his former abode there and this would I think only exaccerbate that situation. So I would really oppose the idea of making the connection. I would like to say also that I do support the idea of a trail access. I am a runner and I do run on TH 101 and I think I'd probably be better off just sitting at home and having a heart attack on the couch... I would prefer to have some place to go other than out on that highway and would support that. Batzli: Who else would like to address the Commission? One of the two of you, come on up. Bob Peterson: Good evening. My name is Bob Peterson. I live at 9101 Lake Riley Blvd. I'm here to speak in opposition of the access of the Lundgren development to the Lake Riley Blvd also and would like to say that for one thing, I thought Lundgren did a nice job last week inviting us to the informational meeting. We learned a lot. I think it maybe deflected a lot of the concerns that many of us had about the development, and I got to give them credit that they did that. I thought that was very informational but it was also disappointing I guess that they didn't have apparently all the information to talk about the fact that the Lake Riley Blvd. I felt that was very unfortunate. Batzli: To be fair to Lundgren, I don't know that they knew about it at the time they had your meeting. — Bob Peterson: No, I understand that they did not know about it. That's a big problem. Unfortunately the city staff hadn't talked to them about this possibility. The other thing that I wanted to talk about, I got the letter yesterday also from the Assistant Fire Marshal or Fire 19 Planning Commission Meeting - November 3, 1993 Marshal and admittedly it was very disquieting to learn that we live in a fair to poor fire service area. That's very discomforting but I'm not convinced that opening up this access will do anything for it. In my estimation I think we'd be trading one public safety issue for another and that would be increased traffic on Lake Riley Blvd. I believe that there would be additional traffic on Lake Riley Blvd. I know a lot of people, the mud isn't too bad and the dust isn't too heavy that they'll drive around Lake Riley and then catch TH 101 that way. I think a lot of people would do that from this development area. It's my belief that there would be additional traffic and I think it would be very poor on that road. It's a very narrow _ road. Batzli: I'm sorry but, I know there was muttering when Paul said that there would be no — additional traffic and I was afraid for his life. And you just indicated that you, where's the traffic going to come from and where are they going to be going so that we understand that. Bob Peterson: From the Lundgren development onto Lake Riley Blvd. Batzli: Through the proposed access. And then which way are they going to turn when they — hit Lake Riley Blvd? Bob Peterson: To the left. -- Batzli: They're going to turn left. Otherwise they're going down a dead end. Okay. North around the lake. — Krauss: You can't go around the lake through Eden Prairie. It's...gravel road. Eden Prairie wants to upgrade in a little bit. It goes behind the golf area and comes back down to Pioneer -' Trail. It's certainly not a direct route. Farmakes: That would be the scenic route. — Batzli: Yeah, okay. I understand now. I didn't know where. Bob Peterson: It's faster for me to go that way up to Highway 5. The other thing I just wanted to comment on is reflecting on the Bearpath that Eden Prairie, the golf course. That's an area of 425 acres I believe, which is about 5+ times bigger than the Lundgren development. It's going to have 425 homes. It has one access. So they're addressing the issue there...but those are my concerns. I'm concerned about it and I would oppose the _ additional of that access. Thank you. Batzli: Thank you. There's another gentleman. Yes sir. 20 Planning Commission Meeting - November 3, 1993 Don Sitter: Good evening. My name is Don Sitter. I live at 9249 Lake Riley Blvd. We're the last house at the end of the dead end down there and I had just a bunch of rambling comments here so bear with me. Batzli: Can you make them short rambling comments? Don Sitter: I try to make them short. I agree with the subdivision. The way it's laid out. I think they've done a pretty good job. I just as soon it'd stay farmfields but that's not going to happen. But I also want to strongly emphasize that I agree with the staff recommendations to take exceptions to the side setback variances. I agree with them. I hope you stand strong with the 60 foot right-of-way and I especially want to agree with them on the relocation of the drain of this finger and go through the Sunny Slope area. We're the adjoining property owner there and that would be a major headache for us. We've lived with drainage problems for a long time. I want to say that I agree with the staff's recommendation on moving that drain to the Sunny Slope area. I assume that all the NURP ponds are in line with our city plans so I think that's in great shape. I'm also in favor of running the survey to the neighborhood for these water stubs. If we could add fire hydrants to that survey and avoid the big major road upgrades but at least put fire hydrants as part of that, I think that's not part of this sub development but I think it's a good idea. I'd also like to question the tree count. In this little finger down here there is quite a number of trees and on the back of that and I'm wondering if those will be preserved. In the staff report it says that there were really only 2 trees of value and there's some other trees and they would be preserved and I want to make sure that the trees in that low area are also preserved. I'm not sure if they got counted in the tree count or not. And then my last but not least is the access point and I'm going to come at it from a little different comment and maybe a suggestion. At one time I heard that you wanted the access to come through here on what, I don't know what the lots area. 15 and 16 or something and then another trail to come on another one. Would it be possible to have that bike trail be the access point and make it just wide enough for a bike trail with a couple of these break away barriers so we don't end up with traffic going on it. In other words, don't end up with a bike trail on one lot line and a road access on another. Combine the two together and make it just a bike trail but access for safety vehicles only. And the reason that I say that is I'm concerned about the traffic around the lake also. We, on the end of the dead end get a lot of sightseers that like to drive around lakes. And all of the other cities in the metropolitan area have done a lot of work to avoid roads that loop around lakes because there's a ton of traffic. People like to drive on Sunday afternoons and loop around lakes and if we provide access points both here and at Kiowa, there's going to be a steady flow of traffic. People just trying to drive around the lakes on Sunday afternoons. And we get a lot of traffic now and I don't want to see that increased. That's the end. Otherwise I guess I'm basically in favor of the development. I think it's fairly well laid out and I think we should stand strong on staff's recommendations. Thank you. 21 Planning Commission Meeting - November 3, 1993 Batzli: Don, let me ask you a silly question. Why do you want to see us hold firm on setbacks and right-of-way, because those things are really done for, in large part, for safety — reasons. How can we rationalize not trying to make Lake Riley Blvd safer while holder the developer to strict standards? Don Sitter: I believe that the standards were set with a lot of thought and planning ahead of time and I basically think we give up on variances too easy sometimes and I'm just in favor of keeping them to the letter of the law so that we don't create situations where because you — grant the variance the next guy gets a variance a little farther and the next guy gets a variance a little farther and we just end up continuing to break the rules that I think were carefully laid out in the beginning. — Batzli: But you understand that our current standard for a cul-de-sac is much shorter than Lake Riley Blvd and/or Kiowa? Which also had a lot of thought put into it. Don Sitter: I'm sorry, I'm missing the point. Batzli: Okay. I was just seeing, I'm trying to rationalize and justify doing things and not doing things. So my only point was that we ought to have rules in place granted. We could consider these two streets grandfathered in but we're looking for a rationalization as to why — we shouldn't connect these. Don Sitter: I'm not saying you shouldn't connect them and I think there's some logic to the safety concerns. But I think if you combine the bike trail with an access that's only for service vehicles and if we can get water stubbed down the road to get fire hydrants, I think we've covered more than what the Fire Marshal's concerns would be. That's my suggestion. Batzli: Thank you. Yes ma'am. — Lydia Ardoyno: I'm Lydia Ardoyno, 9235 Lake Riley Blvd. I haven't built a lot of subdivisions but I've certainly lived in a lot of them and I do know that it's human nature to — take the short and most scenic route to anywhere and I think that your concerns are valid for the safety of Lake Riley Blvd and for the other streets but I think you might start looking at some different perspectives and you're trading a bit of safety for a few homes in your opinion — which the homeowners don't necessarily share, and trading it off for a lot of less safe conditions for a lot of people living not only on Lake Riley and the other areas but also for the subdivision itself. You're going to have emergency vehicles going through there. You're — going to have a lot of traffic going through there and it's all family type neighborhoods on Lake Riley and the whole park area, the whole lake area. And this whole subdivision is a 22 — Planning Commission Meeting - November 3, 1993 family area. And your concerns for safety I think are just a little misplaced. So if you would think about it in a little different light. Thank you. Batzli: Thank you. Yes sir. Ray Lewis: My name is Ray Lewis. I live at 9071 Lake Riley Blvd. I have some copies of a letter here. First of all I'd like to say that, well first of all we live on the west side of, on the east side of the development. Just about 2 blocks south of Lyman Blvd on Lake Riley Blvd. We are, after going to the meeting last week and reviewing the subdivision plans, I'd have to say that we think that the subdivision is well thought out in general and we are basically in favor of it, although from my standpoint I would just as soon not see that land developed but if it has to be developed, I think the proposed subdivision is a very good one. The first issue I'd like to address though is the issue of screening. I think that there should be a corridor of screening or visual barriers that extends from Lyman Blvd on the west side, Lake Riley Blvd south such that the current residents that live on Lake Riley Blvd do not have to view the back sides of the new subdivision resident's homes. This could be, currently we have across the street from our house a dense stand of small trees which, although they're deciduous trees, provide a good visual barrier and I would like to suggest that, or I think it's reasonable that this type of barrier be maintained or that it be replaced with plantings and berms such that they stand level and visual screening is maintained. Second of all I'd like to address the issue of the access to Lake Riley Blvd. I think that I certainly appreciate the public safety department taking consideration of fire access to our homes but I really think that with the increased traffic patterns that we see on Lake Riley Blvd, that we would be trading one improved safety fire protectcion for potential traffic hazards. As it is right now, pedestrians and runners and children walk in the street and there's really no place off street to walk and there is quite a bit of exposure. Additional traffic is found to create just increased hazard. I think that there is substitute ways to improve the fire protection of that area rather than trying to create ths connection. One way that would be possible is just water connections were made to the subdivision putting fire hydrants along Lake Riley Blvd. Since most of the suggestions involved in fire fighting, at least in that area has to do with trucking the large lines of water in and out so if you could eliminate that part of the fire fighting process, you would eliminate much of the congestion. Second of all, I think that by creating a no parking zone along the west side of Lake Riley Blvd, we would be able to eliminate any potential blockages, barriers, to access. Since in the period of time that we've lived there, the only real major blockage that has occurred has been when vehicles or trailers have been parked on both sides of the street. And on the west side of the street there is really a wide shoulder over most of the length of the street that has...and _ so an emergency vehicle could gain an additional 4 feet or so, at least 4 feet of right-of-way if it was absolutely necessary to steer around some other object. Lastly I'd like to bring to your attention the petition that was signed by approximately 80% of the residents on Deerfoot 23 Planning Commission Meeting - November 3, 1993 Trail and Lake Riley Blvd. It was presented to Paul today by Nancy Smith, my neighbor. Indicating that opposition to the connection between Lake Riley Blvd and the subdivision. And I think that certainly in this case the citizens should have some say so in the, what access is made to their existing road. So thank you. Batzli: Thank you. I appreciated your comments. I seem to remember you from some Lake Riley beachlot issue meetings. Your comments are appreciated. Does anyone else have something, in particular if you have new issues that haven't already been described. And — maybe before I do that. How many people are here in opposition of the connection to the Lake Riley Blvd? Can I just have a showing of hands. I was going to do Kiowa Trail separately. Just the Lake Riley. — Resident: Do them all together. Batzli: Okay, why not. Is there anybody here that wants to see the connections made? . Okay. Let the record show that there's no one here in support of connections. Does anyone else have any new issues that haven't been discussed? What the Planning Commission — normally does is we try to flush out the issues. We're very aware that all of you are here to try and make your feelings known. That you really don't want to see these connections. What we normally would do is we would close the public hearing if there aren't any comments. We would then go around the commissioners one by one to discuss their feelings on the project and the connection and then we would take a vote. What we decide tonight _ isn't binding. Really it is a recommendation to the City Council and so regardless of how we end up voting, we encourage you to take your concerns and issues up to the City Council. Both whether we decide in your favor or against because a showing of force in front of the _ City Council in support of something we do or against something we do may have a much different impact on the City Council. We like to try and do good, a job of good planning and that's not always necessarily politically expediant but they may have a much stronger concern that way. That you people directly vote for them and they may feel the pressure a little bit more than, we tend to be a little bit more insulated and we try to go by our codes. I'm not saying that's the way we're going to go tonight but understand the issue that the decision — isn't cast in stone by what we decide here tonight. It does go to the City Council and you will have an impact on what they decide as well. Are there any new issues that haven't been brought up yet. I don't want to cut anybody off so if there is something new, please come forward. Otherwise, I'll ask for a motion to close the public hearing. Conrad moved, Scott seconded to close the public hearing. All voted in favor and the — motion carried. The public hearing was closed. 24 — Planning Commission Meeting - November 3, 1993 Conrad: Two or three issues. Obviously access is a major one for the neighbors and I think we've already told you that basically the city standards are significantly different than what you currently live on today. Significantly. We're not talking about percentage. 20%. We're talking about major, major difference than what you're wanting to maintain. Saying that, I typically am one of the few that don't mind long cul-de-sacs because of the neighborhood and I think I would probably on this issue, because of the significant neighborhood interest. On one hand I look at myself and I say, well should I protect you from yourselves in terms of fire access. That is a major issue. You have some streets that are, have some problems. And I'm thinking, well in a couple years if there's a fire and the fire engine can't get there, did I do my job. So that's a concern I have. But I think in this particular case, I would be opting for some back to back cul-de-sacs. I'd want safety. Some way of rationalizing access to those long cul-de-sacs without encouraging traffic. Could be back to back cul-de-sacs. Could be the combo trail going over to Lake Riley. That's where I stand on that. Generally I'm not real wild about this PUD. As I went and tried to justify it, there's at least 63 lots that are below our city standard of 15,000 square feet. Mancino: 46 1/4%. Conrad: It's a lot and I can't justify that. Now I think the developer has, I think our TH 101 right-of-way issue is something that's nice and maybe the dedication of land for TH 101, I'm _ not sure what to think about Highway 101. Nobody wants it. State, County, City. It's a problem. It does mean we should address it sometime but in terms of influencing me that we're getting something in exchange for a major shift in down sizing lots, I'm not persuaded yet. I would not accept this PUD. As I went through their justifications on all the points, I found one of the, contrary to staff report, I found one of the points that may have validated a PUD. Batzli: Which one was that? Conrad: I'd have to go back through them but most of them I couldn't. Most of them didn't do it for me. I haven't excluded the PUD yet. This is not it. That's all. Batzli: I thought you had three. Conrad: I skipped. The trail access. Maybe somebody else might. Somebody brought up trails. I'm not sure, Paul. Where's our trail connecting downtown to this area? Do we have one? I should have done some homework to know where it is. Krauss: I don't know if we notified these people but we are working on a plan for the ultimate design of TH 101 from Highway 5 where we kind of a...crossing where we took it 25 Planning Commission Meeting - November 3, 1993 up to last year down to the future 212. That's going to be a 4 lane section with heavy landscaping incorporating a trail. South of that point, and the MnDot improvements, when they occur, would come up Lyman Blvd just a little bit beyond. So presumably the trail kind of terminates there. You eluded to the problem with TH 101. This is not a new thing for us. The fact is that nobody is taking responsibility for TH 101. The State stopped taking — responsibility for it in 1934 but it is a State highway and they won't put a penny into it. The only improvements that have occurred on TH 101 are those that have been paid for by the City of Chanhassen and we simply do not have the money to improve it much more than we — already have. So we tried to get together a coalition of county and city governments and MnDot to figure out to push a decision on what should happen to TH 101. I don't know what happened. Right now nothing is probably going to happen until 212 is built and the — last, as I said, the last I heard on that was instead of 1995-96, it's now 1998 and climbing rapidly. Conrad: Yeah, it's almost like I've given up Paul. You see so many problems. It's like, why should I start fixing them because I see so many others that I just don't know that are ever going to be economically solved. Maybe that's a bad attitude but again, that's not, I don't think that a key reason for me to accept this as a PUD if we wanted the land donated. I think it's a nice reason. I think Lundgren could probably, and staff. I think staff could _ probably persuade me that we're getting something back but when I go below the 15,000 square foot lot size, that is pretty sacred in Chanhassen and I really have to know what we're getting back for it and because of my concern for TH 101, or because of my fears that TH _ 101 is never going to be solved, I don't know that we're getting a great deal in return for a PUD. Batzli: Okay. Matt. Ledvina: I guess I generally I share some of Ladd's concerns as it relates to the lot sizes. I — saw a lot of lots in the 9,000 to 12,000 square foot range and that certainly makes me nervous when I see that. But on the other hand, as it relates to that, those lots that a developer's responsible for developing those lots, as they platted them here or as you will plat — them, and it appears to me that they can make it work. And you've seen Lundgren developments and they've done a nice job with that. I'm confident that they'll be able to do that. I think as a PUD, the plat going in that direction, or the subdivision going in that — direction but I'm not real convinced that the smaller lots and a large number of smaller lots justify the situation. So I think those are some big concerns. Let's see. Batzli: Before I forget to ask you. What are your thoughts on the connection? Ledvina: I was getting to that. That's a real tough issue and I guess I'm concerned about the 26 — Planning Commission Meeting - November 3, 1993 possibility of this creating a short cut and a lot of cars coming through there. Could you comment on that Paul or Bob? Or perhaps Dave. I mean that's something that I wasn't aware of a possibility there and if we do open up the connection to Lake Riley Blvd, and also Kiowa, does that represent a concern then for short circuiting? Hempel: Whether or not you have the connections to Lake Riley Blvd, even from Lyman Blvd wanting to go south. To use the Kiowa one. If you cut that one off...Bandimere Park from TH 101 or through the back side. The issue I think is the long dead end cul-de-sac I guess. The curvalinear streets and the subdivision that's being proposed is a deterrent to traffic. They're not going to be able to go 30 mph through most of the streets. There'd likely be stop signs, a 3 way stop intersection when the traffic warrants meet for installation of stop signs. Just the general layout of that is not conducive for thru street movement. I think Lake Riley Boulevard would be a little higher speed, 35-40 mph. Batzli: Well it may not be conducive but for the development moving south on Kiowa, I mean that's quicker than going out to TH 101 and turning south. I think that's their concern is that, see however many houses. I don't recall the exact number in this development. 100 and whatever. I mean I think that's the concern and not that somebody's going to come down Lyman and go through the development. I don't think that's something we can avoid by doing that connection. Hempel: That's true but I guess we still feel that the general traffic patterns for employment and everything else is going to be to the north. Not to the south to Pioneer Trail or Shakopee. Mancino: Paul had said something about disincentives and what are those that we can use so if we did put in these? Krauss: Well, Dave touched on one. I think everytime you introduce a right hand or a left hand turn or stop signs, it takes time to slow down. You've got to go through...it's a disincentive. It takes more time to go through something. The trend here is to make it, facilitate a movement where you want it to be and provide enough disincentives so it doesn't go where you don't want it to be. We've done that in other ones. I mean we clearly, I know we're often painted like that but we truly don't sit here trying to run thru traffic down streets kids are going to play on. If you think that that's going to happen...we say so and bring that up. One of the areas where a change might be able to be made, if I can get my bearings, is to run this road up to here so that the thru movement wants to go this way and make the traffic that will go to Kiowa come through a stop sign and turn left. That's a disincentive. There are ways those things can be done. Whether or not it's going to fully eliminate the situation. What we have here too is a transitional situation. There are people using Pioneer. 27 Planning Commission Meeting - November 3, 1993 Significant numbers of people. You saw that on the Eastern Carver County Transportation Study a few years ago. However that transportation study was done before Highway 5 was — upgraded so I'm not certain exactly how valid the results remain in terms of the numbers. When we get to that same issue though and take it Lake Riley Blvd, that one I fail to see the merit on. I mean if you're right...we'll give you a map to show you how convoluted that — route is around the lake. It is an interesting way to go. I go down there every so often when I'm checking out a site that way but it certainly is not a high...through there. At one time Lake Riley Blvd was supposed to run straight east to Dell Road. That was the long term — plan. Now when Bearpath subdivision came through, Bearpath is a private community, it's a gated community which is why there's one entrance. And it's...those folks over to Dell Road so now, as a result Lake Riley Blvd is going to maintain a very circuitous path around the — lake, through Eden Prairie Park and back out to Pioneer. It's quite a ways around. And by the way, I could add that I know that the city of Eden Prairie staff had a lot of problems with the one entrance into Bearpath and there are knock down gates I believe that are supposed to be maintained by the homeowners association so there are other means in and out of there... Batzli: Matt, go ahead. — Ledvina: Okay. Well, I think that if we can go ahead and put those impediments in there for _ the thru traffic movement. I guess I can see the need for the Kiowa connection. I think that represents an important part of this development. I don't know that both of them should be made. Both of the connections should be made but I don't know specifically which one _ would be better to make. But I think one of them should be made. On some of the other issues, with this, as far as the 60 foot right-of-way. I would propose that we keep the 60 foot right-of-way. I guess I would be amenable to looking at a 25 foot roadway house setback — throughout the subdivision. I think we did that with the Song subdivision and I think that that can help to do some of the things that help with the aesthetics and the reducing surface water runoff, etc. Let's see. Just one note on the recommendations. On recommendation number 27. I see this as a somewhat repeated on condition number 11. You've identified that you want a PUD agreement and in addition to the development contract by the city so I think you probably want to keep 11 in and strike 27. One of the residents in the vicinity — mentioned the possibility of providing a pedestrian crossing into Bandimere Park from the Kiowa extension right along the southern boundary of the subdivision and I would support that the applicant provide that. I think that works out well. That's the extent of my comments. — Batzli: Okay, thank you. Jeff. Farmakes: We're going random? Batzli: We're going random. This is random. Trying to get you guys on your toes. 28 — Planning Commission Meeting - November 3, 1993 Farmakes: I'm going to start out here and talk a little bit more about Ladd's comments. I also am uncomfortable. That's why I asked at the beginning of this meeting to hear the mission statement and the intent paragraph in regards to PUD's. In looking at this, I don't understand the criteria that we're using to initiate this as a PUD. I understand it from a design standpoint but I don't understand what the motivation is. Clearly in the packet it says that this is, the property is being farmed. There is little, if any, natural features to be protected. It seems to me that what it's being used for here is to achieve other objectives, one of which is listed in here as being the lot layout protects existing and proposed residents. I guess I'm sitting back and waiting to see more convincing of what the city's gaining here. I don't see that. I'd like to see that spelled out more clearly. I'm looking at the general philosophy of the design which is to expand larger lots and basically encompass a higher percentage, I think it was 46%? Of sub lot size versus the 15,000 that we used. And typically in other issues of PUD's that I've supported we have had a pretty clear indication that it was either the lot itself or some geographic feature. Stand of trees or something that we were trying to achieve in the design. I don't see that here. So given that, and looking at this and talking about the connectivity and so on, I'm a little uncomfortable with looking at some of these lots and looking at the layouts and looking at the amount of 11,000 square foot sites for homes. I'm a bit surprised I guess. That must have been a good meeting that you had with the developer because nothing in regards to this issue, at least that I've heard of, and what has Ladd has said, has been brought up here tonight. A PUD is, I'm sure the City can show you, is an issue that we use when it's in the community's best interest perhaps to look at what I would describe as a variance in some issues, for want of a better word. Paul maybe could elaborate a little bit more on that but I think that you should look at that clearly. What's being offered here. I'm going through my packet in the findings and I'm not utterly convinced that that story is being made. I'm surprised if we spent a year on this internally that perhaps that got placed on the wayside. Batzli: Can I interrupt just one second? Farmakes: Sure. Batzli: Paul, in something like this, wouldn't we normally see the proposed home styles or if there was additional landscaping? I mean it doesn't seem to me that we've asked for plans and berming and things like that and I don't believe we have any of that. Do we have that here? This plant key. The planting key. So this is the landscaping? What did we ask for in addition in the conditions? Generous: They've provided us with a detailed planting. The landscaping berm and screening requirements, especially what some of the people brought up to the east. 29 Planning Commission Meeting - November 3, 1993 Additional trees and landscaping. Not that we'd want to have a complete separation between these two properties because they are residential but some type of natural transition. — Batzli: So the landscaping plan that they've submitted, I mean does this go above and beyond what we normally require in a PUD? This is kind of bare bones sort of PUD? Krauss: It does go above what you would require, or be able to require in a subdivision. The subdivision ordinance only allows us the 1 tree in the front yard and... Batzli: I'm sorry, go ahead. Farmakes: Anyway, I'll leave that as a big question mark for me. And I think that that, when I said big question mark, that I think is the building block or the philosophy of how _ this is designed. And I'm uncomfortable that it's not spelled out more what we're getting versus if this is the traditional single family. It may well be that the city is gaining something but I readily don't see that. It doesn't knock me over. Lundgren in the past has _ been a good developer for our community and I'm sure that they have worked a year on this. I don't want to discourage that fact. I just, in the presentation would have liked to have seen more detail in what we're gaining. I'm also, once again we are dealing with a difficult issue _ with citizens who have been living in neighborhoods here for quite some time. When the city comes knocking on the door, or what they see a city density is a difficult issue. As Brian has said, we get into the position of do we follow what the professionals tell us is the correct _ thing to do or do we listen to sometimes emotional dissent against that. And I've been in that position and I quantify, I've done this once before and have supported neighborhoods on this issue. I think that older neighborhoods should be given consideration under the same — general philosophy that we use as grandfathering. It depends on how many people are involved. How many homes we're looking at. At how much that would effect the change in their existing life style. Now I have been a proponent of connectivity and I disagree with — many of the comments that were made here tonight. I think that again, when we try to isolate our neighborhoods, that may be fine for our own terms in thinking of 3 or 4 houses. What we see is our next door neighbors and our friends but it is the connectivity and the interconnection of neighborhoods that make a community and we're to some extent seeing over and over again neighbors that come in here, it doesn't make any difference whether it's your development or any one of the last 30 or 40 that have come in here. They see a lot of scary things on TV every night and they think in terms of what's called the bunker mentality. They think that if you keep a long narrow driveway and it's just them that drives on it, that they'll know their friends and they'll be able to tell their enemy. Whether we choose to admit that or not, there's a lot of that involved here. I look at the issues as not just safety issues of connecting neighborhoods. It's also the general issue, a very boring thing. It's just _ a general infrastructure that makes up a community. You have the connectivity of the mail 30 - Planning Commission Meeting - November 3, 1993 being delivered. You have buses coming and picking up your children and taking them to school. When we create all these 300, 400 neighborhoods that we have in the city and we only have one way into them, we have a city that's basically made up of a bunch of bunkers. And I think that there's significant evidence to planners in other communities, this doesn't make for a healthy community. And it makes for really a narrow view. However, as I said before there are a few occasions where I think the neighborhoods that have been established and been here for a long time should be given consideration. And in this issue, the connection on Kiowa, I would not support and that is the reason that I would not support that. I think again, I fall back. This is a quandry for me because I think you have to give consideration for established neighborhoods that have been here for many years and in some cases almost 2 decades. And this does effect quality of their life. I really am uncomfortable with that because there are also issues of safety here and I heard the comment that we should put that aside here tonight and I don't think we should. It's not a clear cut choice here and I know that some of you want to hear what you want to hear and others, they want me to stop talking about this but it is a difficult thing for your neighbors to sit up here and take those considerations into mind because some other people have sat up here or got up to the podium and have asked us, if we don't care, you shouldn't care and I don't think that that's the — correct response. The issue of the walkway along Highway 101. I support that connecting. I realize that we're not quite sure where TH 101 is so that's probably a future cost. If that's brought on line. It seems like some type of provision, if there's not a connection to Kiowa. Some type of provision will have to be made perhaps through the existing lots that are shown on the layout for some neighborhood connection to the Parkway. There seems like there's room in there somewhere to look at that. The other issue, one other issue in the recommendations on staff as far as the setbacks go. I support those. Staff recommendation. And there is a comment in the recommendations that says that a 60 x 40 homesite and the other part refers to a building paid. Is that 60 x 40 the building pad?...that's the end of my comments? Batzli: Okay, thank you. Joe. Scott: Well I too question the use of PUD for this particular development. I don't see what we're gaining. As far as the references were made to the Song property and for those of you who aren't familiar with that particular property, it's heavily wooded. Extreme variations in terrain and we allowed it to be a PUD so we could preserve trees and preserve natural features. Well in this particular instance we don't really have that same situation so drawing an analogy between this particular piece of property and the Song property really is meaningless. So therefore I don't see us gaining anything so I do not support this as a PUD. With questions on connectivity. For public safety reasons I would support the connecting with Lake Riley Blvd off the cul-de-sac or some area there. I'm torn on the Kiowa because I can see, I think that apartment complex is several hundred units. But then again I don't see a 31 Planning Commission Meeting - November 3, 1993 tremendous amount of traffic going south into Shakopee. I think that a majority of the people from the development will be going up to Highway 5. I'm still torn on Kiowa, as to whether that needs to be connected or not. I don't think there's a way of restricting traffic by using knock down barriers or so forth. I mean it's got to be something that has to be plowed, which obviously you can't do with barriers so I don't know. I think if I had to make my — choice, I would go with both of the connections. And I think everything else has been covered so I don't have any further comments. Batzli: Did you, I didn't hear you but I'm sure you did comment on the 60 foot right-of-way on internal streets, you were in favor of keeping it at that? Scott: Yes. Batzli: Okay. Thanks. Nancy. — Mancino: I agree, concur with Jeff, Ladd and Joe on the PUD. I was quite concerned about _ coming up with the 46% of under sized lots. I also support the 60 foot right-of-way which would also add to this percent of under sized lots. I would not like to see this replicated in the future meaning that if we took this property and put it on the other side of TH 101, on _ the west side, I wouldn't want to see another development like this come in where there are no natural characteristics of the land that we are trying to preserve. In fact I think on page 11 of the report is says that the entire plat would be graded. The entire site will eventually be graded with a condition of the...so that to me says right away that...and what are we getting from it. On access to the established neighborhoods. Well, I'm very much for public safety but more importantly to me is preserving neighborhoods that have been existing so I — would be in support for not having a connection for either roadway. I said I supported the 60 foot. I think that's it. Batzli: Okay. Do you want to talk before I get my shot at it? No, go ahead. Please. I'm just, go ahead. Terry Forbord: I wanted to embellish upon all the issues about the PUD. Batzli: Please, go ahead. — Terry Forbord: Clearly I miscalculated the wishes or the desires of the Planning Commission. I thought that the issues were incredibly clear and I've been before many of you for so long and actually I'm thrilled to talk about PUD's. I think every subdivision there is anywhere in any city should be a PUD because it gives the city more than it could ever get under a standard subdivision so I'd like to talk about that briefly. The intent of the PUD ordinance 32 — Planning Commission Meeting - November 3, 1993 doesn't specifically protect natural features. Every city adopts different critieria for their PUD. Chanhassen went through a lengthy process over probably years to develop the one they had. Before that I think they went through a lengthy process before for the previous one. But a PUD, it's purpose is to allow flexibility under a number of different conditions. It would not be fair to say that that flexibility and it's purpose is to solely protect the natural resources of a community but there's a number of other things. I think what's in it for the city. I think I heard everybody here basically say that in their mind that was the criteria that they were searching for the most. And apparently us, as the applicant did not do a good enough job within our narrative and certainly we made the election tonight to not bring in a slide show. To now bring in a lot of overheads of all of our product. To show you the things that we're doing in various communities that are very similar to it because I didn't want to take 2 hours of additional time tonight embellishing upon all these things. Clearly I miscalculated and being that I don't have all of those audio visual items here with me this evening, I ask you to keep an open mind. I'll do the best I can to ticket your creative imagination. What's in it for the city? I guess then is the city be concerned what's in it for the residents. The citizens of the community. What, when they're done and they drive down TH 101 and Lyman Blvd and they look to their left or right, whichever way they're going, they look off on a piece of land that could be developed as a neighborhood, what are they going to see? What are the options? Would they prefer to see community x or would they prefer to see community y? Now, as a developer I could take the subdivision ordinance and I could look at it purely from a statistical standpoint. I could say well here's a piece of featureless land. There may be a dozen, maybe 30 trees. It's flatter than a pancake. It's a cornfield. I could make a lot of money here. There's no wetland. I don't have to worry about trees. I can just go in there and plan a grid system. I can get as many lots as the ordinance will allow me. I can make a vanilla subdivision that has no streetscape. Sure, I can meet the landscape ordinance and I can do all those things but when you're done, what's it going to feel like when you go into it or when you drive by? Now most of you who know me long enough, and know Lundgren Bros, we don't typically look for those types of qualities. But we could. We certainly could, and I'm going to show this to everybody else here. This is for illustrative purposes. We could develop something similar to this. We could take the subdivision ordinance and the codes and we could prepare a grid system. There'd be no turns. Straight streets. Very similar to what you see in an urbanized area that's quite old. Minneapolis, Richfield. When you drive down those streets, you don't take many curves. You don't see the sides of the houses. You don't see the rears. You don't see the roof lines. You see the front of the buildings. Okay, we could do that. Now, we've taken a look at the site. This site in particular is unique. It may be characterless for the untrained eye but how many of you remember the workhouse property? That piece of property we developed. It was as flat as this. It had one sole tree on over 300-400 acres. We put in ponds and created contour where there was none. So what we're doing here is we're going in and we're mass grading this site to create contours because how many people 33 Planning Commission Meeting - November 3, 1993 want to live on a flat site and there's no trees to protect anyway so we'd better go in and do something to create some character to this streetscape so people, when they look out across — their lawns, that they see some movement to it. Yes there is going to be a lot of grading but there's nothing there to really protect. So, should we go ahead and do this featureless neighborhood? Or should we attempt to make, for lack of a better term, a silk purse out of a — cow's ear. Should we try to create some movement in the streets? Most of our homes have architectural details on the side elevations. The rear elevations and certainly on the front elevations but when you're winding down that street that goes up and down as well as side to — side, you're going to see these different architectural details. There are physical constraints on this site. There's roads on 3 sides. There's a park that will be a community park. An intensely used community park on the southern border. Okay, so on four sides I've got uses that in my mind are really not conducive to "typical" quality of life that many of these people enjoy in their quiet little neighborhoods so I'm going to take this site with all these problems and how can I create a sense of community in there. An environment that will be pleasant and have some streetscape. The only way I can do it is to try and be a little creative about it. And from the looks of the ordinance, the standard subdivision ordinance certainly does not encourage creativity. It asks me to deliver to you, and to the citizens, a vanilla subdivision that looks like the one that I was showing you. That's what the subdivision code tells me. But if you look to the PUD, it says hey. Use some creativity here. Most of the people who live in our community would rather have a neighborhood community that has some character — to it. And if you're willing to do that, we'll allow you a little bit of flexibility to do these things. Now in every community I've ever worked in, that's really the intent of the PUD. It's to make it, it's to encourage people to do something above and beyond what the — subdivision ordinance tells them they should do. Now I think that's what everybody here wants. I don't think any of you say oh Lundgren, go on back there and make this something _ less. How do you do that? How do you do what I'm trying to tell you on a site like this? First of all you have to have some variety. You have to have some diversity. We don't want all the houses to look alike. We certainly don't want them all to be the same size. We don't want them all to cost the exact same dollar amount. We don't want all the walks to look alike. If we wanted that, then we should go to this. So we are cognizant and sensitive to the things around the perameter. We are cognizant and sensitive to the intense use of Lyman _ Blvd or TH 101. Of the park and for trying to have some feel for the people who live off the site that are close to it that may be impacted by it. Okay the way that I have to do that is through lot size, street configurations, and we've attempted to do that. Now I think that's a — lot for the city. That certainly is better than going this way. I think. If the city is telling me that they prefer to do the other way, than that's what we will do. But what happens, and I'm not faulting anybody here for this. What happens, and I remember when the PUD ordinance was being prepared before it was adopted. I came here before you and talked about these very issues for those of you who were on the Planning Commission at that time. And we talked about, should you always have to have some incredibly tangible thing that you can — 34 — Planning Commission Meeting - November 3, 1993 hang your hat on to say well this is why it was a PUD and there's some of us that don't think you just have to do that. I think you have to say, is this what we want in our city or is it something other than this. Is it something more creative and so that's what we're attempting to do. We could get more lots going the other way. I mean a lot of people say well why don't you do that. Well because most people I mean that I've ever met and that we build houses for, would rather not live in a neighborhood like that. So what we're asking for is to allow us to be a little bit creative. And you also have to realize, even though 46 or 43, whatever percent of the lots are below the "standard" subdivision requirements, this is not a standard subdivision. The PUD ordinance says that they can go down to 11,000 square feet as long as the average lot size is 15. Well the average lot size here I believe is. Batzli: 17.8. Terry Forbord: Is 17,814. That's what the ordinance tells me I'm supposed to do. It doesn't say in the ordinance, the PUD ordinance that 10% have to be this size. 40% have to be this size and 50% have to this size. In a PUD you can turn me down though if you're happy with it because the PUD gives you really the ultimate authority of approval. That's why I think PUD's are great for cities. You have the ultimate authority. If you don't like it, throw it out. But what's the density here? There were issues about geez, the lots are awfully small but what is the density. The density, gross is 1.7 dwelling units per acre. Net is 2.5. That's not a lot of density on 80 acres of land, especially when 22% of it is roads so really what the PUD, this is a perfect. I mean I've said this before and you may be saying Terry, you always say this but this is true. This is a great site for a PUD. This is the kind of zoning tool that should utilize on this type of site because of 22% of it happens to be roads. It's featureless. We're not going there and we're going to try to do something with this that when we're done, I know when we're done you might not all want to live there yourselves but you'll probably go through there and say, boy that's a nice neighborhood. I feel entirely confident of that. Farmakes: Can I ask you a question Terry? Terry Forbord: Yes sir. Farmakes: The thing that I asked to see up here, the back side of that particular piece there. That we're referring to showing the grid. The Roman grid on the back. The lots that we're looking at there, is the smallest lot we're looking at there 15,000 square feet? Terry Forbord: Average lot size here is 15,880. The minimum lot size is 12,000. Farmakes: Okay. So in fact then that's not a traditional single family. 35 Planning Commission Meeting - November 3, 1993 Terry Forbord: I didn't say that this was a standard subdivision. Farmakes: I just wanted to clarify that. Terry Forbord: ...for illustrative purposes. If I changed this and make this 15,000 square foot, I could hold this up here and nobody would be able to tell because of the scale of this drawing. I mean it's such a small scale, nobody'd be able to tell whether it was 3,000 off. But it's just for illustrative purposes. It's not meant to say that we've measured and — incremized everything here so it's exactly perfect to follow the subdivision ordinance. Farmakes: In your opinion, if they went with the standard development, do you feel that the — roman grid roads are the only way to develop that piece of property? Terry Forbord: Pardon me? Farmakes: If we went with the standard development. Not go with PUD. We're looking at — roman grid roads here. Straight up and down and across. With that particular piece of property, we see other developments that are not PUD here that do not have either horizontal or vertical roads. My question is, do you feel that particular piece of property, if developed as a standard development and not a PUD, will resemble that only slightly bigger lots? Terry Forbord: Would it resemble this? _ Farmakes: That's correct. Terry Forbord: It depends on who the developer is. There's a lot of reasons that I believe why a lot of developers don't pursue PUD's. Number one, it's too complicated. They go through these kinds of exercises and Planning Commissions and Councils...it's a lot more work. A lot more hassles. And most developers will always take the simple path. This is what's going to be easiest. Obviously you all know, unfortunately sometimes I wonder myself, why doesn't Lundgren Bros take the simplest path on some of these meetings of — tensions that happen between staff and the applicant because we're working so hard to try to get something that will be a good neighborhood. Sometimes I wonder myself. Maybe I should just not keep pursuing most things. We should just go the vanilla route. Maybe that's — what I should do. But I think that this site is a classic PUD site. It's featureless and it took, I get into it over and over again but the other thing that this allows, and this may not be the... criteria of PUD's and well wait a minute. Maybe there is a criteria that eludes to it. There's — affordability. This property is not going to be "high amenity land" where people are going to be building $250,000.00 homes. Or $350. I mean it isn't like that. It doesn't have lakeshore. It doesn't have trees. It doesn't have those type of things. A PUD allows a little 36 — Planning Commission Meeting - November 3, 1993 bit of diversity in lot size. For a couple things. One, that lot may be a little more affordable. Two, that lot may be bought by the young professionals where both of them work maybe 50- 60 hours a week and they don't want a great big yard. We're seeing a lot of our customers could care less about mowing their lawn. They want as small a lawn as they can have. So we're getting them some variety. If they would like they could have a 17,000 square foot lot and if they don't want that one, then move down the street. Here are some 11,000 square foot lots over here or here's 13,000. There's some choice there for the consumer. You want to have a variety of product type. The PUD literally really allows for that. Farmakes: I think that the intent, as I recall the intent statement of our PUD also says that the higher percentage of the lots that are undersized, the city will look at that application closer. I'm not sure if I got the verbage exactly right but that is the intent of this statement. And I think the issue and concern that's brought up here is a viable one. It does have a high percentage of undersized lots and I think that certainly the city should look closely at that. In that development. I'm not saying that at least in my comments. I'm not speaking for the rest of the commission. I have nothing, as I said, philosophically with how you were developing the property by skirting the larger lots and smaller ones in the interior. But I thought that in the presentation that there was not sufficient back-up to me to show versus a traditional development, which not all are like what's being proposed here on the yellow version. Certainly not. as I said, other developments that we've seen developed traditionally with 15,000 square foot lots as a minimum do not have horizontal/vertical roads only. However this particular piece of property has some problems to it but I think certainly that there has to be some convincing reason for that other than just philosophical. That when we say what is — the city getting out of this. I hear some of what you're saying but I think also that there's some concern on my part anyway, the issue of the amount of smaller lots in the center of this versus the percentage. There are some large lots, I think up to 45,000 square feet. The question is, of the developer, some of those square footages be. But due to the pipeline and so on. I think that those are really viable concerns. It struck me as soon as I saw this plan and the presentation and I realized that I think perhaps the last presentation we had, we had some complaints of how long it went. Maybe you're reacting to that but in this particular case I think everytime we have asked, when we see a PUD, that's a viable question. And we should ask that question. What are we getting for it because it is a trade off. It is a, to me, it is a variance. And to be responsible about that we should be getting something in return and there are some design qualities to this that I like. And I'm not totally negative on it. But again I think that the density issue of subsized lots is a major, is my major concern of this development. Batzli: Okay, thank you. Thank you Terry. My comments on whether this should be a PUD were more directed toward trying to figure out the whole package here. What kind of architectural styles would we be looking at. What kind of additional landscaping are we 37 Planning Commission Meeting - November 3, 1993 getting and do those things, along with the increased right-of-way and some of the other, and making features out of a featureless field, are those the kind of things that would support a — PUD? And I don't know that we've been educated enough. Either by the applicant or by city staff to make that determination tonight. It may be that you know Lundgren is going to put homes that are exceptional in some manner or have additional features or they're going to be providing low income. They're going to be doing something and we don't know. I don't know. You know. Clearly they're not clustering. They're not earth sheltering. They're not putting in, they're not putting in creative things like that I would imagine or they'd be telling — us about it but they're going to put in a quality Lundgren Bros homes on this piece of property, which is what I would expect anyway. But I think that type of information along with some of the features or some of the other things, regardless of whether city staff tells us — about that and tells us that that's a good thing and that's something we should be looking for, or whether Lundgren tells us, I think we need to be told somehow. I'm not sure that that can be done tonight. Having said that, I remain kind of unconvinced on the, on reducing the right-of-way from 60 to 50 feet. I think we've relaxed the 30 feet to 25 feet in the past. I think we usually have done that to pull the houses forward to get them out of trees and things like that. I don't know. I think the Song property was eluded to and I'm not sure if I was — here for that particular discussion. So I don't know whether that would be proper in this particular instance or not but it sure sounds like it wouldn't be. I think Jeff is right on the point when he says that the more pieces of property that fall below our standard lot size, the harder we're supposed to look at it so I think we're doing our job. I don't think we're trying unfairly to single this out for some reason. I think we've instructed ourselves in drafting the — ordinance to do exactly what we're doing tonight. I don't know that I'd characterize it as what, this is my own personal opinion and I've said this several times and I've never seen a nod from anybody yet but I'll say it one more time. You know to me it's not what the city is — getting. It's what the people that move in. It's the future residents of these homes. It's really what are they going to be living in and what amenities are they getting and it's almost like what is the developer offering those future residents of the city, and they will be — residents and taxpaying citizens of the city and they're the ones that are going to most directly benefit or be harmed by what we do here tonight. They're going to be living in it and you can say buyer beware and if they don't like it, move in. But the minute you start — putting in some of these smaller, lower income and I don't know if Lundgren is really low income housing. I can't even get a rise out of Terry. He's busy writing something I think but I think that I don't agree with that philosophy and I'd like to be big brother a little bit on some of those issues. As far as the connection. I lived at the end of a cul-de-sac. Bought it for that exact purpose. I came to the meeting to have the city not put it through. They put it through anyway. I've been there. And it's interesting because of course I lived through the 100 year storm where one end of our, the only entrance and exit from our development was blocked off. And it began to dawn on me that you can't foresee all contingencies and that these things make sense. So I would like to see us look at this and I know we've looked at 38 — Planning Commission Meeting - November 3, 1993 the break away fences and everything else and the city staff hates them. But the one thing that differs between my situation and these are that these are long established neighborhoods. They have a character about them and I moved in. I was there for 6 months to a year. Granted I moved in because it was a cul-de-sac, or so I thought. But here this will change the character of at least Kiowa I'm convinced and perhaps Lake Riley, because there will be additional traffic on Kiowa. You can't get around that fact.and that will change the character of that neighborhood. And I hate to see that done. I really don't want to see that done.. I remain less convinced for Lake Riley Blvd, but on the other hand it is a long, well established neighborhood and we may be changing the character of it and I don't want to do that without a darn good reason. And if our people are telling. Our, meaning city. If city safety and fire are telling these people that well geez, we really don't want it. Well I'm going to sit up here and...We need to get our story straight one way or another on that particular issue before I'm willing to vote and force these people to change the character of their neighborhood. Even though I've been pretty consistent for the last 4 or 5 years in saying that we can't have long cul-de-sacs. Having said those things, I think we have some issues that probably still need to be fine tuned. We've heard about some tree count on the little finger sticking south there. We've heard about the berming. I think that's taken care of in the conditions. We have a park access trail/and a trail along TH 101 that needs to be looked at. I would prefer review of all these various issues and perhaps Lundgren and city staff wants to take a second shot at us for why this is a good subdivision and if they get the general gist that we're concerned about the number of small lots, they may even take a look at rearranging something for us. I guess I would prefer to see this tabled personally. I don't know how the applicant feels about that. There was one other thing I was going to say. Oh yeah. The barricade with the temporary turn around. The sign. It should say, this street shall be extended in the future, and we really mean it. We're not kidding. So having said that, is there a motion? Mancino: I move that we table this. The Preliminary PUD of 80.8 acres of property to create 134 single family lots...and rezoning of the property from A2, Agricultural Estates to PUD, Planned Unit Development Residential. Batzli: Is there a second? Farmakes: I'll second. Batzli: Discussion. Conrad: Terry, is that what you want to do? Do you want to come back and give us a shot at justifying? Seriously, I'm not sure you're close. I'm really not sure. You've come in here with subdivisions or PUD's in the past and they're just obvious to us. This one is not. 39 Planning Commission Meeting - November 3, 1993 You're saying some things to us that we've never heard another developer say. I haven't seen a typical subdivision in Chanhassen for a long time so I'm not sure this is an alternative. I guess I would like to see you back telling us why we should. You know Chanhassen. You know 15,000 square feet is really something that we hold near and dear and you're going below that and there was really not a very consistent way of telling us what the city, or what the community in general was getting. Yet on the other hand there are a few of us here that feel you're way off. I don't think you're close Terry right now. So if he comes back and justifies. You know right now I think he's going to go back and come back in and justify to — us why. Without a clear consensus that we're ready. That if he justifies it, we'll go for it. The current configuration but with these, we'll take a look at the connectivity to the properties that surround. You know for sure we're going to do that but I want to send Terry — a good signal here so that when he comes back, he's meeting our needs and I'm just personally saying, 60 some lots that are below 15,000 square feet, I didn't see it in the plans with environmental features. I didn't see it there so what I'm saying is I don't know that he can persuade me if he comes back. Mancino: I agree. — Farmakes: I can say what I'd like to see. One of the things I'd like to see on average size, when we look at when we average out these issues is buildable lot size and in some cases, the — largest lots on this particular development, because of the pipeline, are not buildable. And I think that certainly the 46%, or whatever it is, is a major stumbling block with me. Batzli: Well I suggested tabling and we got the motion in part because I think, I don't know that the applicant or the city really concentrated on what we were looking for. And they've heard our comments tonight and I think they know what our concerns are and if they want to rework something to try to take care of those concerns, I mean they're free to do that before, they don't have to just come back and sell us on this plan. Conrad: I guess I'm just maybe trying to get a nose count here for, I think Matt felt that it's close. Scott: We need a separate bar. Conrad: And I'm just trying to give Terry some kind of, and he's keeping track. He's taking notes of what we're saying. But I really want him to have a sense of what we're saying and there's some specific issues that we brought up but do we feel lot size. The number of small — lots, are we close or are we far away from that? From justifying the 60+ lots that are between 11,000 and 15,000 square feet. Maybe I'm asking. 40 Planning Commission Meeting - November 3, 1993 Farmakes: No, I think it's a real good question. I'm trying to think in my mind what that should be as a guide. Is it 20%. Conrad: I don't know that I have an answer to the number, and there is none. You know if Terry could come back and say the 63 lots are justified because we're putting, we're doing the following things. Batzli: Yeah but it's not quantifiable but I think clearly you heard from the, whatever was said that I think, at least in my own mind and I'll characterize your comments and you can disagree with me but Ladd and Joe, Jeff and Nancy probably had a harder time than Matt and I. And those, you four are the ones that he's going to have to sell harder because I, I'm looking at it maybe a little bit differently than the four of you but I think he's got a long way to go with the four of you, from your comments. Ledvina: Well I don't want it to be a situation where it's adjusting lot lines and I don't think that's where it's at, and I think that's what you were saying. Terry Forbord: Mr. Chair, if I could qualify a couple things because I want to make sure... I thought I did understand that until Matt's last comment. I thought that the issue was lot size and adjusting lot lines may allow me to adjust lot size. So I want to make sure. Farmakes: That was my understanding and the issue I think is the percentage of subsized lots. Scott: It could mean fewer lots. Terry Forbord: What if in the pursuit of larger lots...whatever that number is, that I brought that in and we say well geez, now I don't like the way it looks. Would you rather that I go back. I'm just trying to, it will change the way this looks to achieve what it is you're telling me you want and from a design standpoint, I mean I'm going to work on that because I want to bring it back in looking the same but if it doesn't, I'm just trying to get some direction. Scott: Terry, how many homes do you want to sell? Batzli: How many lots are on there? Terry Forbord: 134 home sites. Conrad: You know what you've got to do, you've told us this and it's the thing that I'm struggling with the most is the fact that this land is not very pretty. And somehow you have, 41 Planning Commission Meeting - November 3, 1993 you didn't embellish the plantings. In fact the number of units per acre is higher than a _ typical subdivision. Chanhassen is averaging 2 units per acre net. You're at 2.4. You just didn't tell me that we're going to take a real boring piece of property and turn it into something. Now maybe your buildings are always top quality Terry but that's part of the thing but you really didn't do anything to this land and I always look for what are you doing for the land. What are you doing for the people. Boy I've got, you've got to take me a ways to sell me on that. You haven't done that. Terry Forbord: Mr. Chair? Batzli: Yes sir. Terry Forbord: ...to do, and I guess I'd like, I think I'm hearing everybody say the same — thing. I have another site that was very similar to this in Plymouth. That we're just finishing the final details on. I would be happy to take the Planning Commission there and I can show them the before shots. Aerial shots and then they can see what's there now. I can either do _ that or I could just do slides. But it's almost an identical situation. Roads on 3 sides. Flatter than a pancake. Actually that one maybe had a few, some wetlands. This one doesn't but if you saw what it is today, you would say now there's a PUD. I mean because anybody, we're — seeing people come out and saying, my god. I can't believe this is the same piece of property. That's what a PUD allows you to do. Batzli: Where is it? Terry Forbord: It's on County Road, at the intersection of County Road 24 and Highway — 101. It would be the northwest corner. And that's a good example of an existing condition and that site was featureless. Other than some wetlands but it had more character even than this one but we're going to try to do the same thing. I can't do that as a standard — subdivision. So I would be happy to do either do that through slides... Batzli: What I think, I think it would be helpful to do it by slides. I mean I'm going to try and make an effort and I'm sure other Planning Commissioners will try to make an effort to go up there and drive through it but I think slides would be better, especially for the record. Terry Forbord: It's called Heather Run and there is signage that will direct you. Mancino: Where is that again Terry? — Terry Forbord: On the northwest corner of the intersection of State Highway 101. Same highway. And County Road 24. A good way to get there would be take 494 north. Go west 42 Planning Commission Meeting - November 3, 1993 on Highway 55. Go south on 101 and it will be on your left side. Batzli: Okay, thank you. I'd also just like to make a comment, while we haven't voted on anything. I think my nose count was more no's than yes's for the connection. Is that right? For the connections in general. Conrad: More no's? Batzli: More no's. Conrad: That's correct. Batzli: Yeah. So thank you all for coming in. We have not actually voted on the issue but as it stands it looks like there's at least three no's. I think Matt might be persuaded for one connection and Joe I think was saying no for Kiowa and potentially for Lake Riley? Is that what you're saying? Scott: I had a problem with understanding, because I know what's going to happen to those guys but I'm familiar with both areas so. Batzli: Okay. Yes sir. Resident: Just a question. With all the neighborhood input tonight, if you hear this again on another night and all of us don't show up, can we assume that all of our comments are on the record. Batzli: All of the comments are on the record and the City Council will see those and we'll remember them, believe me. But you'll receive notice again or will it just be published? Krauss: I'll touch on that for a moment. Our next Planning Commission meeting is on the 17th. The following one is on December 1st. What these things often put us in is the need to sit down with the developer and start working out issues. Whether that can be turned around in a holiday shortened week, with a big agenda already scheduled for the 17th, is questionable. So what we will do is we will notify the neighbors again...when it comes back to you on the Planning Commission. Batzli: Right. So you will notify the neighbors, so you should be notified of the next meeting. 43 Planning Commission Meeting - November 3, 1993 Resident: If not this much of a turnout can happen, can you still remember how many people talked to you tonight? Batzli: Yes. Farmakes: It's on video. Batzli: Okay, thank you all for coming in. Mancino moved, Farmakes seconded to table the proposed planned unit development to rezone 80.8 acres of property zoned A2 to PUD and preliminary plat to subdivide 80.8 acres into 134 single family lots and 7 outlots, for the Dolejsi and Rogers property, Lundgren Bros proposal. All voted in favor and the motion carried unanimously. APPROVAL OF MINUTES: Chairman Batzli noted the Minutes of the Planning Commission meeting dated October 20, 1993 as presented. CITY COUNCIL UPDATE: Batzli: Paul, do you have anything for us? Or Kate, you might as well tell us because Paul's busy. Aanenson: The last City Council meeting, quite a few items were tabled because...but they did approve the motel site plan expansion. Centex was tabled because of the length of the meeting. They also tabled the Jean Addition. The one lot subdivision. Krauss: Let's put it this way, I didn't give you a Director's update because there wasn't anything to tell you. Scott: I was at that meeting and the garbage thing just expanded to like, I think I left at 11:00 and they were still talking garbage. Batzli: What did they decide on that? Krauss: They decided to continue it. Batzli: The garbage thing was continued? Okay. ONGOING ITEMS. 44 Planning Commission Meeting - November 3, 1993 Batzli: I was going to touch on that but we'll talk about that next time. Any administrative approvals Paul? Krauss: No. OPEN DISCUSSION: DISCUSSION OF HIGHWAY 5 CORRIDOR PLAN. Batzli: In view of the amount of time that we spent on the last one, for once again amazingly enough we've had a couple of these and granted I haven't been at the last 2 or 3 meetings in a row but we end up talking about issues that really aren't related to the development for inordinate amounts of time. And I'm curious to know whether, because they liked the development. Almost to a person. The people that were in here said, the development appears to be pretty good. We don't like the access issues. I mean this is kind of replay of Pleasant View and the issue, in my mind is can we do something about this so that we don't drag all these other things around the wheel when it's the developer sitting there saying, you know. Anything we could do? Anything we can do? Can we somehow separate the issue? I mean it seems to me that from a planning point of view, I would rather say here's a piece of property. This is the way it's going to develop. Where should the access and these types of things be and not get it wrapped around the wheel of what the internal workings of the development look like. Now tonight, by way of example, and I know Jeff has requested this ad nauseum but what does it look like around the development. Here we are talking about all these access issues. About Lake Riley and Kiowa, we don't have a single map. So I was, you know. If we're going to talk about access issues, let's talk _ about them but let's not sit here and worry about the internal workings of the development and be sitting here clueless as to why people would turn left or right on these streets. Farmakes: It's sort of standard operating procedure in arguments from the neighborhood, in particular. I mean we're seeing neighborhoods that haven't been around in 4 or 5 years and then they're in here when a developer comes next to them and they're saying the quality of life that they've come to enjoy is being threatened. Timberwood and Stoney Creek I think were the last issues. I don't know how long one predated the other but not by more than 4 or 5 years I don't think. It just doesn't seem to make any difference. I don't know whether we should legislate and just do like we do with taxes and say hey, the State made us do it. Or how we could address that but it does seem to be something that's just going to come up habitually. Mancino: And that was my question. What's been done before on these long standing cul- de-sacs? 45 Planning Commission Meeting - November 3, 1993 Krauss: This is all blending into one...and I honestly don't remember if this happened here or in Minnetonka...we went to the City Council and we said, alright. We're getting awful tired of this. We don't know what to do you know. Should we just forget about it? I mean you know the story. You know, you've heard the line...yet 80% of the time, 90% of the time you vote to over rule it. Should we just forget about it? Farmakes: No, I don't think you should. I tried to quantify what I said here. The only other one that I had voted to support was the one on TH 101, the access over there on that cul-de- sac. I used the same reasoning before and it's a really...and I see it as a grandfather issue. If a community's been there for 20 years, that the city, if they're going to change the rule, has an obligation to look at how that's going to affect their lives. And what they've come to _ over the years. Same philosophy I think that the city uses for grandfathering issues. Mancino: But how long is that? — Krauss: I don't know but...would end up in the packet and we should have. But sometimes they throw you for a loop. I would never in a million years think anybody in their right mind — would go around the back side of Lake Riley to get out of that neighborhood. Farmakes: A shortcut to TH 101. I mean, yeah. Not in my worst nightmare. — Scott: And I look, you know the thing that I get really tired of is that, well the realtor told me that da, da, da. But I mean quite frankly I mean, yeah. I can see some impact on the — people on Kiowa but this Pleasant View. I mean that was a bunch of you know what. These people are here, sometimes you have to protect people from themselves. Look at these people down there are going to fry if their house catches on fire in the winter and I'm going, — fine. But do I protect you from yourself. Batzli: We're getting off the topic but I'm saying that if what we have to do is say to the Council, look. We're getting all these old long connection issues in front of us. What do you want us to do? Then that's what we should do so that we don't, we're going to have to _ let the public have their say and I think we need to let them have their say, but at the same time we should have some sort of guidelines to follow and we do need better reference materials in our packets so when these people start talking to us about the street connections _ around the development, we know what they're talking about. Scott: And Brian, I thought your point was very good about the fact that you didn't vote us in on the Planning Commission so you can say whatever you want and we may not react one way or the other but if you want to get excited, go to the Council meeting because they're the elected officials. 46 _ Planning Commission Meeting - November 3, 1993 Batzli: They're going to be excited when you've got 50 people cheering. Scott: So on issues like that, it's almost like. Krauss: You also touched on...issue though of how the Planning Commission raises issues tonight that nobody...It's not to say that it's not a valid issue. It's always difficult to raise a philosophical or ordinance issue in the context of a particular development. We used to have lots of time to spend on those kinds of things. We had time to develop ordinances and plan but for crying out loud, we've been trying to schedule the Highway 5 plan for the last 2 months and there hasn't been the time to do it. Farmakes: We have to have a separate meeting for that. Just that. Maybe more than one and if that means bumping them back, that has to be done...and what it means for our community, I think it certainly should be in the driver's seat. Krauss: Councilman Wing is trying to, and I don't know if he'll follow through with it but he's indicated that he'd just as soon that we closed out some of your agendas and kind of a demi moratorium and just got on that and stayed on it until it was done. Farmakes: Absolutely. Why there's weather enough that we can still look at some of the areas that we're talking about. Mancino: I still think we need to take a site visitation and ride down Highway 5. Farmakes: It is a lot of information to absorb. There's a lot of things to look at. Batzli: Well, would everybody want to do it on a Saturday? Saturday morning? Scott: If we can schedule it far enough in advance. I think we all were thinking about the first Saturday, the 9th and then I got a call and it was like for the 16th or something like that. Can we pick, because I'd like to do it. I want to get out there and walk around. Mancino: But we did. Farmakes: I was available. Conrad: I want to. It's just real tough to find time. Aanenson: What I was getting, we could go on a regular day, like Paul had mentioned. Maybe start earlier in the day. 47 Planning Commission Meeting - November 3, 1993 Batzli: It gets dark awfully quick. Scott: Yeah, there will be an hour of daylight. Conrad: How about this Saturday? _ Scott: It's deer season. Conrad: We could get shot. Mancino: This Saturday? — Krauss: No. I've got my son is being operated on. Mancino: What's the next available? Aanenson: The 13th. — Conrad: I am gone. Batzli: The next one? Scott: The 20th is the weekend before Thanksgiving, which might be a good one. Saturday the 20th. Mancino: I can't. — Scott: Oh, where are you? Batzli: Are you the only one that can't make it? Because you know where all the stuff is. You're on the task force. Mancino: Yeah, I've got to talk. I mean I have to be there. Batzli: Have you got to sell it? Mancino: I've got to sell it. — Batzli: Okay...4th of December. Boy, the holidays are just. 48 Planning Commission Meeting - November 3, 1993 — Mancino: That might not be bad. Scott: Yeah, I'm fine with that. It's far enough in advance. Batzli: Okay, 4th. Conrad: Sure. Scott: Don't change it now. Batzli: No, nobody changes it. Scott: And this is like what? Report for duty at 7:00 a.m.? Aanenson: Not that early. Scott: What time? Batzli: Are you also going to invite other members of the Task Force, because I think that'd be a good idea. Krauss: We had people call in and say they're going to do it and Kate and I just said 3 people isn't worth giving up a Saturday for. Mancino: No, no but that's what I was saying. Are you going to invite members from the Highway 5 Task Force? Krauss: Yes. Farmakes: But I would like to encourage each and every member to keep an open mind on the information they're... Mancino: How could they come closed minded? Farmakes: Well you're the one who mentioned sell. Aanenson: ...last time we ended up at the Arboretum and have lunch because that really shoots a big hole in a Saturday. Krauss: We don't get back home until 2:00 in the afternoon. 49 Planning Commission Meeting - November 3, 1993 Aanenson: Yeah so I think it'd be better if we went more like 9:00 and we try to be done by noon so we can get on with the things we need to do. Batzli: I mean 6:00 in the morning until 9:00 is better for me. If everybody else in my house is sleeping I can spend as much time as I want. So the earlier the better is what I'm trying to say. Aanenson: 8:00? — Scott: 8:00? That's cool. Farmakes: I have one quick issue I'd like to bring up, as long as this is still open discussion. Time me. We talked about the issue of city staff for the people who came up to the podium _ and talked that, I think it was the Fire Marshal. The letter from the Fire Marshal is clear here. I mean to me. It doesn't leave any room for interpretation that he was against this issue. And this individual came forward and if you listened closely to what he said, he really — didn't say that he disagreed with him but he thought he did. He didn't see any reason so I don't take it as a criticism on the Fire Marshal but I would follow that up to see if there was any. I'm assuming there wasn't. Maybe this was sort of a hopeful interpretation of the situation but we have to make sure I think that if it wasn't, and if he did say counteract his letter here that we don't get this. Batzli: Let's talk about the Highway 5 corridor here for a minute. Farmakes: I thought we were done with that. _ Batzli: No. I thought you were going to go through something. Aanenson: Well I was. Now if you want to spend some time. Batzli: Well, we can spend time in one of two ways because I think we all want to leave by — 11:00. We can spend time talking about goals or we can spend time talking about, something about Highway 5. What do you guys want to spend time doing? Aanenson: I think it'd be more beneficial if everybody's taken the time to read through it and kind of kick it off on the 4th but I think again what I want to focus in on is the land use options that we're looking at. And the mission statement...looking at the land use and making that consistent. 50 Planning Commission Meeting - November 3, 1993 Batzli: By fluff she means really good fluff and necessary. Aanenson: ...then also the road design for the frontage road with the recommendation from the task force. And then the proposed recommended land use, which is included in the 1995 study area. And the architectural design elements. Those are the key things we need to be looking at...So what we'd be doing in the draft document, we'll be putting together your issues. We've gotten at the task force issues and sending those forward to the City Council in kind of a summary report. So what you're going to be focusing on the road design, architectural standards and the proposed land use recommendations. Krauss: But you've got to be up to speed enough to hold the public hearings. Aanenson: Because we'd like to have that as soon as possible. Farmakes: I think the only really controversial issue in land use I think was the Mill's property. There are a few others but I mean that was the major lawsuit situation. Krauss: Yeah, there's that one and the roadway issue, which is why Brad Johnson is here tonight. There's an issue which Opus-Steiner and the land by the Arboretum. Those are the... Aanenson: And I think Nancy pointed out too, if you look at the colored map in the document, there's some inconsistencies as far as what the Task Force recommended and if you look at the chapter that goes through the, Chapter 2... (There was a tape change at this point in the discussion.) Batzli: If the landowners want Brad to attend, that's fine. And I guess we need to check with our City Attorney to see if we can even limit that. If more than 4 of us show up so we have a quorum there, even though it's not a regular meeting. Brad Johnson: More than likely there won't be that many people there. Batzli: Yeah, and I don't want you know, if these guys want to go along and listen, I think they should be able to. I don't want them to get involved in the process of our education but on the other hand, they should be entitled to hear what's being said. Brad Johnson: We're in the process of preparing a presentation and we want to know what the presentation should say at a public hearing. 51 Planning Commission Meeting - November 3, 1993 — Batzli: Okay, thank you. PLANNING COMMISSION GOALS. Krauss: Shorter meetings. Batzli: We've got 15 minutes. Let's talk goals. Krauss: To an extent it's almost a moot point. We're so innundated with stuff, we don't have chances to do much else. We've always had an ambitious work agenda and I think we _ got a lot accomplished and the city's benefitted from that but I'm real reluctant to us commiting to tackling major new projects in the near future. I've outlined a number of things. Some of them are directly related to the Planning Commission. Some are related to _ others... responsibility to do that. One of the things that I want to touch on here, when we start to change the ongoing item list to do, is we had for a long time we had issues related to the BF district. And I wanted...we ought to expand that focus to...a land use program similar _ to what we just went through on Highway 5 for the south study area. We ought to wrap the whole thing into one project and I've asked Kate and Bob to kind of spearhead that and lay out a work program to do that. It's something I think we probably can do in-house given the _ opportunity and time to do it. But we're experiencing tremendous pressures, and I've got to believe. Well, first of all let me, I fully believe that within 12 to 18 months we're going to start working on a MUSA amendment to bring in the north 1995 study area. — Batzli: In what time frame? Krauss: 12 to 18 months. We've already been petitioned by one of the property owners there and I believe more will follow and I think as we had shown you on a map, all the land that we brought in in '90-'91, and all the projects you approved that are in the pipeline, — there's almost nothing left already. So given my projection on that, I don't think the south study area is over the rainbow as far as people anticipated. When we sat here 3-4 years ago doing a comp plan, it wasn't that hard to see things happening along Highway 5 but it was — really kind of a stretch to see...south of Lyman. It's not that easy. I fully expect that area to be developed now before 212 comes through. So that's one of my goals. We have the sign ordinance that Kate's been trying to get back to finish up for ages now and we just haven't — had the chance to get it on. Farmakes: That will tie in though with the Highway 5 issue. — Krauss: It can, yeah. We really count on this time of year to be a dead zone. Where we _ 52 Planning Commission Meeting - November 3, 1993 have the ability to do things. It's not happening. We're talking about there's a lot more in the pipeline right now. Farmakes: How do you think population wise what we're looking at is going to affect this? Targeted goals for population growth? If we look at all these units and especially this high density and some of these things. It doesn't seem like to me that they're lining up exactly with some of our projections. They seem to be quite a bit ahead. Is that? Krauss: Well keep in mind, those projections that are on the Comp Plan, were conservative. They were lower than plans predicted otherwise. Farmakes: We were conservative but I know that the Met was far beyond us. Krauss: Well they were ludicrous. Farmakes: They were below. They were below our conservative estimates. Krauss: Well when we started writing the plan, they were below what actually lived and walked and breathed at that particular time. We thought, I don't know. I don't think we're _ too far off. We went through a whole lot of years where we're building about 200 units of single family homes. So that's 600 a year. This year I'm guessing we're going to be up over 300-350. Next year it's probably going to be 400. That's gaining 1,000 a year. Those are big numbers but they still get you up around in the 20's. Low 20's by the end of the decade and probably top off in the low 30's. Batzli: At what point does a community get it's own school? Generally. I mean high school. I mean does a 30,000 population base get it's own high school? Krauss: I think you know I'm a resident of Eagan and they're just now at 50,000 people and the high school was built 2 years ago. Scott: No, that's not the issue. The issue is, when you have majority of people from Chanhassen on the School Board is when we get our own school. Farmakes: There you go. Krauss: You have to remember too that the north third of Chanhassen is in the Minnetonka district. The new high school, as I understand the building plans, the new high school that they're building should have some growth potential. Whether or not it's sufficient growth potential, I don't know. 53 Planning Commission Meeting - November 3, 1993 Farmakes: Chanhassen historically has been unrepresented by population in the school board and Chaska, curiously enough has been over represented. I'm not talking about the quality of — representation. Mancino: Is there anybody from Chanhassen on the School Board? — Batzli: Currently? I don't know. Farmakes: I don't believe so currently. But I may be wrong. Batzli: It was just a question. Well Paul, it sounds like you don't want us to give you — anything new on your plate but how about if we prioritize what is there? Krauss: Prioritize away. -' Batzli: And what I guess I would propose is, you know we, we've done this the last couple years and the results have been sketchy but I'd like to take one more shot at it and that is, — I'd like to see us come back with, you know everybody take your ongoing issues list and kind of prioritize it. How you want to see it done because what I would really like to do is send our prioritized list to the City Council and basically say, this is what we see the priority as and this is how we're going to work on it, unless we hear from you. Now, as most of you probably know, I'm probably not going to be here next year so this is more important for you _ guys than it is for me. I know in the last couple of years that we've done this, we haven't gotten a real big showing by our commissioners on it's actually getting a list prioritized and putting some thought into it, in part because we've been so darn busy doing other things that everybody's just kind of like, we're going to be forced to look at this anyway so we really don't care. But for example my one dream on the commission was to do something on the business fringe and you've just dashed my hopes of having a last month reprieve on getting — something done down there. Darn you. • Krauss: Unless you want to change your mind. — Batzli: To me doing something like that, tying it in maybe even with the Bluff Creek corridor greenway kind of thing. Eventually as we do these things, we're going to miss — opportunities that we have to, not to necessarily right wrongs but to preserve features. I mean we talked today about PUD's and features. The bluffs in Chanhassen are something that will never be rebuilt unless we save them now. And putting in the bluff setback was one thing. Steep slope another but if in fact we're going to try and work, whether alone or in connection with the Park and Rec Commission, to preserve some of these bluffs and creek corridors, we've got to do it and we've got to take the lead and we've got to let them know what we — 54 — Planning Commission Meeting - November 3, 1993 think. In the past I think we've given them some pretty good ideas and they've followed up on it. And if this is a priority for us to investigate it, whether it's trying to get federal funding to buy it and preserve it or to follow up on Eden Prairie's, I think they're trying to do something north or coming down the bluffs weren't they? They were trying to do something for a while. Krauss: Yeah, they were trying to take down all the trees... Batzli: Well they weren't trying to do that originally. They were trying to put in some sort of preservation zone. Krauss: You know on the Bluff Creek issue...tree ordinance but we've got something interesting coming up. Another reason for you to stay on the Planning Commission Brian. Batzli: We're going to build a golf course? Krauss: No. The DNR has started kind of an experimental program to work with total watershed issues. It sounds kind of glib but they've got one program now going on over at the Phalen, Ramsey watershed on the east side of town. Basically what they want to do is to convene working groups of concerned residents and representatives of all the agencies that are involved in preserving the environment of local watersheds and boy there's a zillion of them. And we thought that, and they contacted us because of what we're doing on water issues. And we suggested Bluff Creek might be the ideal one, because we've already done some planning on it. We have some ideas of what we want to achieve for it. We've got hopefully an environmental condition that can serve as a liason and what this does is, we anticipate meeting a couple three times and kind of laying out a work program and then going before the LCMR, which is Legislative Commission on Minnesota Resources I think. And they get money through the lottery and some other sources and can give it out to environmentally significant projects. Since this is a project that would be recommended by the DNR, and we're pretty well...we have a fair chance of getting funded. What we're trying to do is you get the money and you hire a coordinator who offices out of the DNR working through our staff to push this project for total watershed management planning. It includes tree cover with recreational issues. It includes MnDot building roads over them. The whole 9 yards. We very much want to keep the road connection...and I asked them okay. So we do all this under the grant. What about money for implementation and there's no guarantees that you get money for implementation. However, since you've got all these agencies on board buying into the planning process, it's pretty likely you're going to be able to tap into some outside money for implementation, which in this case means land acquisition and reforestation. Construction of water quality improvement basins. You name it. I think the sky's the limit. So the kick off meeting for that is going to be on Tuesday, November 16th in the morning 55 Planning Commission Meeting - November 3, 1993 here. We've got notices coming out to all of you. We would like you to stay involved with that. I expect to be, we need to get together a submittal to the LCMR by the end of January to make their funding cycle. But maybe that will get it off of dead center. I'm running out of ideas to do much else with it. Batzli: Okay. It sounds like a good idea. After getting money for our pedestrian bridge, maybe we're on a roll. Krauss: It never hurts to ask. Batzli: What I've asked everybody to do is to take a look at their ongoing issues sheet and — come back with a recommendation with how they would prioritize it. Some things obviously have to be done right away but we'll try and get a consensus and we'll send it up to City Council saying, this is what we see the priorities as and this is what we're going to work on — when we get a spare minute. And if there are things on there that you feel should be on there, please bring those as well. You said we had a busy agenda next time. What are we doing? — Krauss: Well maybe it's not so busy as I thought but we have the school site coming on and _ it's got to go through the process quickly. Batzli: But that will be a fun one. Krauss: Oh, by the way. Byerly's did submit. They're going to be on December 1st. Batzli: For where? Krauss: Right across the street from City Hall. On the Charlie James property. — Batzli: Byerly's? Scott: Well that's ridiculous. Farmakes: Here's the competition. Byerly's. I'm never leaving Chanhassen. — Krauss: ...a retail center attached to it. Batzli: Out of curiousity, how big is our current grocery store? Krauss: 30,000. — 56 — Planning Commission Meeting - November 3, 1993 Batzli: And how big is the Byerly's? Krauss: Twice the size. Now, I think it will have a liquor store. It will have a restaurant. — Batzli: Are they asking for, I mean is HRA doing this with TIF and stuff? Krauss: I didn't ask. I assume they're going for the standard program which is to take a 3 year deal. I haven't seen elevataions of the building yet. We've talked to Byerly's staff. The Vice President. What I conveyed to them is Byerly's is always a lovely place to go into but your outside are nothing. A brick box and they came back with, well you know the Edina store is 20 years old and it doesn't look it. But it will be a brick building. They are _ trying to do something architecturally different than what they've done in the past. Apparently Byerly's is, I wasn't aware of this but it was bought out by an investment group. Don Byerly's still involved but it's basically a... Farmakes: Their presentation as a retailer I think is excellent and it gives Chanhassen something, particularly our downtown area, something that it doesn't have currently. Krauss: Well it sounds trite but I mean I've told people that a Minnesota community isn't a town until you have a Target and it's not a class act until you've got a Byerly's. Batzli: What's going in across from Cub in Minnetonka? Krauss: Rainbow. Batzli: Good gravy. Farmakes: Competition. Mancino: Is there also going to be a senior center in the area or a senior? Krauss: We're working on senior housing. In fact Charlie is trying to sell us the corner. Out beyond Byerly's to the Powers, which may be a possibility. I think we're going to see something on that in '94. Farmakes: Can I ask a question of Byerly's, is this the target market when they were going to go in over here by Burger King? Krauss: Yes. 57 Planning Commission Meeting - November 3, 1993 Farmakes: And they're moving this far out? Wow. That's a major. . Krauss: Yeah...why. Farmakes: That's a major marketing move to come this far out. Krauss: But the next nearest Byerly's is in Minnetonka up on Highway 12. Farmakes: Right. St. Louis Park and then Edina. Krauss: A Byerly's here will catch south Minnetonka, Shorewood, Excelsior, all the little — towns. It will catch eastern, I'm sorry, western Eden Prairie. We're an up and coming market. Farmakes: But this is definitely a draw to the northwest in Minnetonka to here, which we haven't had before. Batzli: And it seems to me that our, when we looked at the traffic patterns that the Target would generate, we were looking at a little bit different draw because of the location of the other Targets and I think this, and so this pulls more from the north I think. Krauss: Once you've got that kind of traffic, I mean people are... — Batzli: Well that's exciting. That will be fun to look at. Other than the resolution that Ladd is wearing the most stylish cap we've seen in ages, is there a motion to close? — Scott moved, Conrad seconded to adjourn the meeting. All voted in favor and the motion carried. The meeting was adjourned at 11:50 p.m. _ Submitted by Paul Krauss Planning Director — Prepared by Nann Opheim 58 ADMINISTRATIVE SECTION .. CITY QF .-:c ..i..4,-;i:ii ,,,.., .r CHANHASSEN . ,,, --71v.,,:r .., ,r;F ...% 690 COULTER DRIVE • P.O. BOX 147 • CHANHASSEN, MINNESOTA 55317 (612) 937-1900 • FAX (612) 937-5739 S November 10, 1993 Mr. Evan Green Dept. of Transportation 1500 Co. Rd. B2 West Roseville, MN 55113 Dear Evan: You have asked for information concerning the long term use/reuse of the Jeurisse.p farm located on Pioneer Trail relative to the Indirect Source Permit for Hwy. 212. Information provided by MnDOT indicates that it is not "economically feasible" to protect this one home from impacts due to the highway. — The farm is located outside of the current MUSA line in an area our Comprehensive Plan has designated for a 1995 Study Area. This designation implies that the future use of this area should be defined in this time frame, although it is not likely to be brought into the MUSA line in this time frame. We are in fact proposing to undertake such a study in the near future. _ Additionally, when we completed our Comprehensive Plan in 1991, we thought this area would be brought into the MUSA line concurrent with Hwy. 212 construction. However, as you are aware, the construction keeps getting delayed due to financial constraints. At the same time, development pressures in Chanhassen have been accelerating, advancing the date we will need to bring this area into the system much earlier than we thought a few years ago. While there has been no official action taken to determine when a MUSA line amendment may be requested, it is my belief that it will occur in the next 3-5 years. As indicated above, land use determination for the area in question remains to be made in the future. A reasonable guess is to assume that the area would contain low to medium density residential uses. However, in the past, the Planning Commission has discussed having a high-end office park near the County Road 17 interchange. This issue will be determined by the planning effort we will be undertaking for the study area. Under any likely scenario, it is likely that the farmhouse would be removed. Typically, it would be considered to be incompatible with potential development to keep an older farmhouse. To the best of my knowledge, the home has no intrinsic historic value that would warrant an investment in upgrading. However, you should be aware that the owner has approached the City about creating a new lot to accommodate a home for his son. Any such investment in a new home or the upgrading of the existing home , Mr. Evan Green November 10, 1993 Page 2 could make their removal or relocation uneconomical and new development would likely provide for their preservation. If the home(s) are preserved in the future, the City may well have no way to encourage the installation of noise mitigation. In instances where new development is being proposed, we commonly request increased setbacks, use of landscaped berms, etc. to offer enhanced buffering. Unfortunately, we are not in any position to guarantee MnDOT that either the City or developer would be willing to assume the full responsibility for providing the mitigation and we are not — going to be able to give you a definitive plan until the area actually develops. Please feel free to contact me if you need additional information.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE CONTACT: Cynthia Adcock — (202) 822-0450 COURT DECISION DEMONSTRATES COMMON SENSE APPROACH TO WETLANDS REGULATION, BUILDERS SAY WASHINGTON, August 5 -- A recent U.S. appellate court ruling underscores the need for federal legislation proposed by Rep. Jimmy Hayes (D-La.) that would categorize wetlands based on their environmental value, according to J. Roger Glunt, president of the National Association of Home Builders. Glunt was referring to the July 19 decision by the Court of Appeals of the Seventh Circuit, which ruled that the Environmental Protection Agency had no justification for fining Hoffman Homes, Inc., a suburban Chicago home builder, $50,000 for filling and grading a small isolated wetland without a permit. The EPA had claimed that the depression collected rainwater and was used by migratory birds. _ "It's a common sense decision by the appellate court," Glunt said. "The court found that the EPA went well beyond what would be considered reasonable and practical in fining the developer $50,000 based on some far-fetched migratory bird theory. If we had a good system for sorting out what differentiates a significant wetland from a marginal or environmentally insignificant wetland, this case never would have seen the light of day and American taxpayers would have saved millions of dollars in _ litigation costs." - more - "Housing Makes a Difference" N_iG ET '53 0=:30Pht LU!1PGREN BOS. CONST. F.3 - 2 - _ The case arose when Hoffman Homes attempted to develop a subdivision in the Chicago suburbs. On the site was a small, clay-lined depression located hundreds of feet from the nearest body of water, with no connection to any surface or groundwater. However, due to the clay lining, rainwater collected in the depression. The EPA had asserted jurisdiction over the 0.8 acre wetland based on its potential use by migratory birds and ordered the developer to pay a $50,000 fine for filling and grading the area without a permit, as required under Section 404 of the Clean Water Act. The Court vacated the order to pay the fine in its recent decision, finding that there was — "no justification whatsoever" for "interfering with private ownership" in this case. The Court rejected the EPAs's attempt 'to expand government control beyond reasonable and practical limits." • Among other findings of the Court in this case are the following: • The government must establish that an isolated wetland could have an effect on interstate commerce in order to regulate it; and • The government failed to establish the required effect on commerce in this case based on its theory of potential use by migratory birds. In the Seventh Circuit's original opinion in this case, issued April 20, 1992, the court held that the EPA may not assert jurisdicton over isolated wetlands under Section 404 of the Clean Water Act. That opinion was vacated in September of 1992 when the court granted the government's petition for a rehearing of the case. This latest decision, while not as broad as the original, clearly indicates that in asserting jurisdiction over isolated wetlands, the government may not attempt to "expand government control beyond reasonable or practical limits." - more - nUG O 3:31 Pf i LUNDGPEN BGS. C.C)r IST. P.4 4 - - 3 - Glunt said NAHB had provided financial support for the Hoffman battle. "This is exactly the kind of ruling we hoped for,something that most reasonable people would — agree with. I think the best comment of all on this case came in the actual court ruling to the effect of — not every April shower does a wetland make." The Hayes bill, H.R. 1330, would provide a more balanced approach to wetlands protection. It would reduce administrative gridlock by giving the Corps of Engineers — sole responsibility for the program. It would protect private property rights by ensuring that landowners are compensated when they are left with no economically viable use of their land. It would also revise the definition of wetlands, so that a wetland is a land that is saturated at the surface during a growing season, thus making wetlands more easily identifiable for the landowner. ligftt NS53-93 — - - - Epo • _ _ . - F... y ( October 13, 1993 S� Mr. Stuart Hoarn 6745 Amherst Lane - ..' • --Eden Prairie, MN 55346 ' ---. ...- ' . -- -' -... .. . . ._. -, Dear Mr. Hoarn: Your letter to the Beddor Committee is terrific!

Check it out again. Mrs. Valerie Rossbach October 6, 1993 670 Pleasant View Rd. - Chanhassen, MN 55317 — Dear Mrs. Rossbach, Thank you for the opportunity to have a productive exchange of ideas on the phone this afternoon. Please, again, just step back from the battle for a moment and ask yourself this question: Am I sincerely persuaded that preventing the north end of Nez Perce Dr. from opening up directly to Pleasant View will have anything more than a negligible effect on the traffic that will ultimately end up using Pleasant View to access the Crosstown extension, 101, Excelsior Blvd, and Minnetonka High School area? Remember, the Nez Perce Drive "corridor" residents can and already do access _ Pleasant View via Carver Beach Road and Powers/17 to avoid traffic congestion on Hiways 5 and 7. Residents in the new developments, including lots developed by the Beddors, can and already do access Pleasant View via Lake Lucy Road and Powers/17. If the north end of Nez Perce isn't connected directly to Pleasant View, do you really believe fewer of these people will be using Pleasant View to avoid Hiways 5 and 7, especially after the Crosstown extension is completed? Likewise, residents of the new developments west of Powers/17 near Lake Lucy Road (Willow Ridce, the Centex development, and the lots going in on the SW corner of Powers/17 and Lake Lucy Road) have been and will continue to choose Pleasant View _ to avoid the two contested "downtowns" (Excelsior and Chan) , and the two congested highways littered with stoplights (5 & 7) . If Nez Perce isn't connected directly to Pleasant View, will this have any effect at all on reducing the number of times residents of these newer subdivisions will choose Pleasant View to avoid Hiways 5 and 7? Please don't re-gurgitate what Beddor/Fortier have fed you; re-think it. It amazed me when you revealed that "220" Pleasant View Road residents apparently _ believe that preventing Nez Perce from connecting to Pleasant view will actually have any real effect at all towards reducing the ultimate traffic increases on Pleasant View due to (1) new subdivisions in the area, to include lots developed by the Beddors and (2) completion of Crosstown extension. As I see it, this is not a testament to how well people are able to size up a situation by thinking for themselves. On the contrary, the number of people apparently convinced of this hoax is only a testament to the effectiveness of misleading information and propa- ganda campaigning. You can fool some of (or even most of) the people some of the time. P.T. Barnum did NOT say there is an independent-thinker ". ..born every minute." The bandwagon "The (Beddor) Committee" has generated reminds me of a phenomenon that occurred in the Middle Ages: St. Vitus' Dance. For months, alarmist reports circulated about a plague of swarming spiders; thousands of people reported seeing them; hundreds and even thousands at a time would see the spiders and leap about to keep the spiders from crawling on their feet; this even occurred in crowded public squares and cathedrals. Problem was: there weren't really any spiders! It was a mass hallucination. The leaping became known as St. Vitus' Dance. — It amazes me that few of the Pleasant View Road residents have seriously questioned the credentials and conclusions advanced by the architect-interior designer -- NOT — A TRAFFIC ENGINEER -- the Beddors retained as a "hired gun". Nobody on the Beddor - 2 - Bandwagon seems to have really asked that hard question: will preventing Nez Perce from connecting directly to Pleasant View actually have any effect at all on reducing increased traffic using Pleasant View to avoid 5 and 7, and to access 101, Crosstown extension, Excelsior Blvd, and MHS area? It seems they just go along for the ride because the Beddors have the "clout" (your term) to keep the bandwagon rolling along. Apparently, the riders don't question Beddor and his hired guns; only give Beddor's flawed analysis and false assumptions about the traffic situation uncritical accept- - ance. The bandwagon riders also presume that the Beddor's have no self-seeking interests; their campaign is entirely altruistic -- and therefore the Beddor analysis of traffic matters is to be given more credibility than analysis by professional traffic engineers and planners employed by the City of Chanhassen. Really? You truly trust the conclusions of an architect-interior decorator employed by the Beddors more than you trust the professsional credentials and abilities of your City Engineer: Amazing. A tribute to the power of money, the power of the presses, and those who own presses. Sincerely amazed, W 11- (F.e f e v711) cl Stuart Hoarn a -2 �e on behalf of Yvonne Hoarn, f7‘51.‘f cLr �f Chanhassen property ownerC✓`� c" s ' (Nez Perce Drive north of J Lake Lucy Road),two who aren't St. Vitus dancing to the Beddor/Fortier tune P.S. Yes, my mother and I realize it would be more in our self-interest to join the Beddor bandwagon and try to make sure all the traffic in our new neighborhood -- - with many of its lots developed by the Beddors for profit, not altruism -- is forced to access Pleasant View by driving past the homes of the Lake Lucy Road residents. But we think that sending all the traffic around Lake Lucy Road to Powers/17 and then onto Pleasant View is UNFAIR to the Lake Lucy Road residents; the added traffic load caused by our added lot, and the many lots added by the Beddors, should be balanced by having some of it access Pleasant View directly. We also agree with qualified traffic engineers that opening Nez Perce directly to Pleasant View will tend to ease potential congestion at the Pleasant View - Powers/17 intersection, especially in the future when the Crosstown extension is fully completed. We also believe that we are minding our own business in this regard, just as much as the Beddor letter campaign represents the Beddors certainly tending to their business interests, no matter how successful they have been at convincing numerous area residents that they are altruists and philanthropists instead of business people: (The power of the press.) P.P.S. Some I've spoken with see great humor in the idea of the Beddors succeeding in keeping Nez Perce from being connected to Pleasant View -- only to find that, after the Crosstown extension is completed, afternoon westbound traffic on Pleasant View backs up from Powers/17 east along Pleasant View all the way to and beyond the Beddor driveway as cars wait, with or without a new light, to turn left-south on Powers/17. However, I personally take no pleasure in "poetic justice" and see no humor in self-defeating behavior, no matter how much the behavior irritates me. Remember, dressed up in a slick, expensive public relations campaign or not, half- - truths, such as those in Mr. Fortier t 9/7/93 letter, are still whole lies; and lies are never a substitute for getting at the truth of an issue, only arrived at by questioning assumptions, conclusions, and the qualifications of those publicizing them. • s--0 Is it possible that, due in large part to the in- fluence of certain powerful citizens, Main St planning approach -- you called "fiasco" -- ended up more like designing a cutsey stage set than a serious downtown traffic artery -- more "art" than artery? Is that 100% the fault of City staff engineers? Maybe ordinary Chan- hassen citizens should not lose faith in their City staff professionals, and learn to put less blind faith in ideas touted with "clout" by VIP citizens. This is NOT to take away from these VIP citizens' achievements and contribu- tions to the City, for which they are justly admired. (but should not be held in absolute awe) . Only to suggest ordinary citizens should not automatically grant uncriti- cal acceptance to every notion put forward by extraord- dinary VIP citizens -t 116.0.1 •• u — u - FORTIER &ASSOCIATES, INC. _ 4 September 7, 1993 ARCHITECTURE PLANNING INTERIOR DESIGN C N S f c Gird new re if—sAfied o • ail, //l' {C.. e..5 .),�.�.- '1 Mr. Frank Beddor, Jr. .k 7951 Powers Blvd. tvinrts 1' — Chanhassen, Minn. 55317 :L: NEZ PERCE EXTENSION _ - - , , ___.,�.

The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (Service) is concerned with the sediment entering Rice Lake, which is located cn the Minnesota Valley National Wildlife Refuge. The heavy erosion results in a heavy layer of silt accumulation on submergent vegetation in Rice Lake and restricts the potential for new growth by increasing turbidity and drastically reducing the penetration of sunlight. The objectives set for Rice Lake in the Refuge Master Plan cannot be met because of this condition. Although sediment does enter Rice Lake from other areas, the severity is not equaled per unit area in any other area of the — watershed. Past experience at the quarry has shown that erosion contrcl practices have _ been insufficient to control runoff and resulting sedimentation. At the present time , erosion from the quarry has resulted in up to 2 feet of sand/gravel fill on approximately 0. 5 acres of wetland on the refuge. The erosion from the quarry has created a delta of fill in Rice Lake that starts — at the culvert under US 169-212 . The fill material includes sand and rock up to 4" in diameter. Not only does this have negative effects on the Minnesota River Ecosystem but it is also a violation of the National Wildlife Refuge System Act. The erosion has also resulted in filling the 48" culvert under US 169-212 with approximately 36" of sand/gravel. Because of the Service's concern with sedimentation into Rice Lake, I recommend that Section B (Effluent Limitations and Monitoring Requirements) be revised to include a greater frequency of measurement of Total Suspended Solids. Measurements should be required after all rainfall events. The — current frequencies of measurement may not be sufficient to monitor the effectiveness of erosion control efforts. Based on the summer/fall of 1993, flow events during September/October resulted in a large amount of sediment _ RECEWEr NOV 2 9, P. - r1Tv Ur l,n,.ivr�► SFf. PERMIT ISI 0061662 entering Rice Lake. The twice monthly monitoring frequency required in the draft permit for May through October would be insufficient to detect the s_verity of these flow events. Continuous monitoring instead of grab samples may be warranted in this instance. In regard to section C 10 d. (Inspections and Maintenance) , the permit should set a Total Suspended Solids level that eliminates the subjectiveness of the statement "If sediment from the facility has entered Rice Lake. . . " I would also recommend that the permit require the removal of sediment from Rice Lake. The removal of sediment would be regulated by a Service Special Use Permit and any other applicable local, state or federal regulations. Based on the past history of the facility and the resulting damage to Rice Lake, the Service recommends that the Moon Valley Operation should be monitored closely.

Our Staff concurs that sediment from Moon Valley has washed over U.S. 169-212 and deposits into the Minnesota River bottom flood plain and Rice Lake. Rice Lake is located both in Chanhassen and Eden Prairie. This sediment impact upon the floodplain and lake has occurred over the years, and measures installed last year did not appear to control the problem. The following comments are submitted on the permit: (Permit Item) 1. (B.) The effluent characteristics from the outfall should meet with the approval of the D.N.R. and the U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service due to its impact upon the water quality of the public waters/refuge area. — 2. (C. 5,6 & 8) The City of Eden Prairie would want to be on a notification list of any expansion plan or new outfall location. — 3. (C. 10.) The requirement for temporary protection of exposed areas should be closely monitored. This can have significant results in controlling erosion. — The City appreciates the opportunity to comment on the permit. This facility's operations has periodically impacted the safety of U.S. 169-212 (heavy sediment on and over the road) and the — water quality of a lake and floodplain shared by Chanhassen and Eden Prairie. The proposed permit should alleviate the past problems. Reeydea Gape, Douglas A.

Metropolitan Council Referral File No. 15895-1 Thank you for sending the Metropolitan Council public notice on the draft NPDES referenced above. We have administratively reviewed the permit renewal application and offer the following comments. In January 1990, the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency and EPA developed a goal to reduce nonpoint source pollution in the Minnesota River by 40 percent by July 19%. The Council responded by adopting an interim nonpoint source pollution strategy which took effect September 30, 1992. That strategy calls for use of National Urban Runoff Program (NURP) criteria in designing stormwater ponds and Best.Management Practices (BMPs) in dealing with eonpoint source pollution. According to this permit application, storrnwnter is discharged to Rice Lake at outfall 010. Rice Lake discharges to the Minnesota River after high rainfall events. Stormwater discharge from the site is in violation of turbidity standards, and turbidity and total suspended solids ('ISS) are a major problem in the Minnesota River. To obtain the best'overall view of exact amounts of TSS discharged to Rice Lake, the Council recommends that the permit require monitoring which focuses more on a composited event-based sample rather than a instantaneous grab sample. Because of turbidity violations in the past, the Council also recommends a stormwater • management plan be required for the site. The interim strategy described above provides the necessary components to controlling nonpoint source pollution. Sincerely, 1ed, .., fr r . . . .

The Mayor presented the Girl Scout Troops in Chanhassen with a check for $250 as payment for their participation and support of SWMP program efforts. The girl scouts undertook the task of painting catch basins with signs reading, "This catch basin flows to a lake or to a wetland" as appropriate. The point of the exercise is, in conjunction with our ongoing educational efforts, to remind homeowners that anything put into the storm sewer will eventually surface in a nearby lake or wetland. The idea is to get them to stop dumping oil, antifreeze and other materials into these facilities if they do not wish to swim or fish in it. 2. Final plat to replat Lot 2, Block 1, Outlot C and D, Bloomberg Addition into 3 lots was approved on the consent agenda.

Undesirable visual impacts include, but are not limited to, truck loading areas, trash storage, parking lots, interior lot areas and perimeters, outdoor storage areas, large unadorned building massing, garage doors associated with auto-oriented uses and vehicular stacking areas for drive-through uses. (1) Required screening for any visual impact may be achieved with fences, walls, earth berms. hedges or other landscape materials. All walls and fences shall be architecturally harmonious with the principal building. The use of wooden screen fences or chain link fences equipped with slats is prohibited. Earth berms shall not exceed a slope of 3:1 unless provided with landscaping designed to minimize mainte- nance. The screen shall be designed to provide effective visual barrier during all seasons. (2) All required screening shall be located on the lot occupied by the use, building, facility or structure to be screened. No landscape screening shall be located on any public right-of-way or within eight (8) feet of the traveled portion of any street or highway. (3) Screening required by this section shall be of a height needed to accomplish the goals of this section. Height of plantings required under this section shall be measured at the time of installation. (4) Parking lot screening shall limit direct views of pavement and direct views of vehicles parked near the exterior of the site. It is not intended that this requirement result in significantly obscuring views of principal structures or permitted signage. (5) The City may make special allowances for establishing screening requirements for long term parking areas such as those developed for transit related park-and-ride facilities. Due to their characteristics of long duration parking coupled with long hours having little or no activity, these lots may present special problems related to safety that require enhanced visibility. (b) The following uses shall be screened in accordance with the requirements of this subdivision: (1) Principal buildings and structures and any building or structure accessory thereto located in any business, industrial or planned unit development district containing nonresidential uses shall be screened from lots used for any residential purpose. — (2) Principal buildings and structures and any building or structure accessory thereto located in any R4, R8, R12, R16 district or planned unit development district con- — taining residential development'at densities exceeding four (4) units per acre shall be screened from lots located in any Al, A2, RR or RSF district. (3) Additional buffer yard requirements are established by the city comprehensive plan and listed in individual district standards. (4) Outside storage in any district subject to these provisions and allowed by other provisions of this ordinance, shall be screened from all public views. Section 2. Section 20-1181 of the Chanhassen City Code is amended to read: Sec. 20-1181. Vehicular areas. (a) When parking lot perimeters of vehicular areas, including driveways and drive aisles, are not entirely screened visually by an intervening building or structure or land mass from any abutting right-of-way, there shall be provided landscaping designed to buffer direct views of cars and hard surface areas. The landscaping must break up expanses of hard surface — areas. help to visually define boulevards and soften direct views of parking areas and provide for reforestation with overstory tree from the approved tree species list identified for parking or other species as approved by city staff. All new planting areas must have an irrigation — system installed. Publicly owned and operated parking lots used for long duration parking may be exempt from this requirement when there is a demonstrated concern regarding security safety. ylt � I .

(2) For each one hundred (100) square feet, or fraction thereof, of vehicular use area. eight (8) square feet of landscaped area shall be provided. (3) The minimum landscape area permitted shall be two hundred (200) square feet, with six foot minimum dimension to all trees from edge of pavement where vehicles overhang and a four foot minimum dimension to all trees where vehicles do not overhang. (4) In order to encourage the required landscape areas to be properly dispersed. no re- quired landscape area shall be larger than seven hundred twenty (720) square feet in vehicular use areas under thirty thousand (30,000) square feet. unless there is a tree preservation area. In both cases. the least dimension of any required area shall be four-foot minimum dimension to all trees from edge of pavement where vehicles overhang. Landscape areas larger than above are permitted as long as the additional areas are in excess of the required minimum.
