There are a total of-1-3 15 buildings proposed with -1-0 9 eight-unit, 1 six-unit, and 2 four-unit,2 three-unit, and 1 two-unit structures on a net area of 12.34 acres. This property is currently zoned A2, Agricultural Estate, but it is guided for Medium Density (4-8 units/acre) Development. The developer is proposing densities of 7.6 units per acre. There is a DNR protected wetland which is 43.8 acres adjacent to the project. Coulter Boulevard, which provides access to the project, will eventually connect Audubon Road with Highway 41. This road is part of the City Comprehensive Plan and the alignment was refined in the Highway 5 Corridor Plan. The extension of the collector road must cross a portion of DNR protected Wetland 10-210W. The collector road has been moved to the south to accommodate the school site to the east of the project. The applicants are seeking conceptual and preliminary PUD approval at this time. The design of this project appears to reflect many of the Hwy. 5 development standards. Careful measurement of this project against these standards needs to be made. The building design includes the pitched roof elements, variation in facade treatments with dormers and straight roof edges, variated building components, and the use of colorful and functional plant materials. The applicant has not provided the city with building materials, textures, roofing treatment, and color schemes. - - -- -- -.' - • --- - . . . . �. . . . . _ . . • _ , • _- .- . - _ . • . . •_ .. - .

An abandoned farm home and out buildings are located in the far northeast corner of the site. Shelter belt plantings of large spruce and pines are found around the farm home and along the highway with box elders, aspen and eastern cottonwood, black willow and American elm growing within delineated wetlands and on some uncultivated areas. REZONING Justification for Rezoning to PUD The applicant is requesting to rezone approximately 12.34 acres from A2, Agricultural Estate, to PUD, Planned Unit Development. The following review constitutes our evaluation of the PUD request. The review criteria is taken from the intent section of the PUD Ordinance. Section 20-501. Intent Planned unit developments offer enhanced flexibility to develop a site through the relaxation of most normal zoning district standards. The use of the PUD zoning also allows for a greater variety of uses, internal transfer of density, construction phasing, and a potential for lower development costs. In exchange for this enhanced flexibility, the City has the expectation that the development plan will result in a significantly higher quality and more sensitive proposal than would have been the case with the other more standard zoning districts. FINDINGS It will be the applicant's responsibility to demonstrate that the City's expectations are to be realized as evaluated against the following criteria: 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 major site characteristic of this property is the large wetland complex. The portion of the site that is being developed adjacent to Hwy. 5 slopes, generally, from northeast to southwest. The property along the western edge has trees including elm, box Autumn Ridge 2nd Addition October 4, 1995 Page 4 elder and some aspen. Staff is requestinged revisions to the plat to minimize the amount of grading. The Tree Preservation Plan needs to be revised based on staff comments. 2. More efficient and effective use of land, open space and public facilities through mixing of land uses and assembly and development of land in larger parcels. Finding. The development plan should-be has been revised to minimize grading for a more efficient use of the land. 3. Sensitive development in transitional areas located between different land uses and along significant corridors within the city will be encouraged. Finding. The property to the west of the subject site is guided for a business/industrial park. Highway 5 and Galpin Boulevard abut the property to the north and east, respectively. The site to the east is an elementary school. Townhomes, with their ability to be clustered and develop internal amenities, are an appropriate transitional use. 4. Development which is consistent with the Comprehensive Plan. Finding. The Comprehensive plan guides the area to the north of the frontage road for medium density 4 - 8 units an acre. The proposed density of 7.6 units per acre is consistent with the comprehensive plan. 5. 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 development contains a large wetland complex that will be maintained and enhanced as part of this development. A passive park encompassing approximately 100 acres will be located on this site and the property to the west. The applicant will be constructing a portion of the trail system within the parkland as part of this development. 6. Provision of housing affordable to all income groups if appropriate with the PUD. Finding. The price of the "for sale" units has not yet been determined. 7. Energy conservation through the use of more efficient building designs and sightings and the clustering of buildings and land uses. Autumn Ridge 2nd Addition October 4, 1995 Page 5 Finding. The grades have been designed around the location of the proposed frontage road and the wetland complex. •. • - . •. • .- • . - • .. - •- 8. 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 site will have access from Coulter Boulevard via Galpin Boulevard. Internal access will be provided via a private street in a looped system. Summary of Rezoning to PUD Rezoning the property to PUD provides the applicant with flexibility, but allows the city to request additional improvements and the site's unique features can be better protected. The flexibility in standards allows the disturbed areas to be further removed from the unique features of the site. In return for the flexibility, the city is receiving: Development that is consistent with Comprehensive Plan Preservation of desirable site characteristics (wetlands, trees,topographical features) Sensitive development in transitional areas More efficient use of land - , .•. • - _ .. - . • . • . Staff and the applicant have worked on numerous revisions that,we believe, make this project a higher quality project. GENERAL SITE PLAN/ARCHITECTURE Scenic Enterprises, Inc. is proposing to build 94 townhouses on the project on the southwest corner of Highway 5 and Galpin Boulevard. There are a total of 15 buildings proposed with -1-0 9 eight-unit, 1 six-unit, 2 four-unit,2 three-unit, and 1 two-unit structures on a net area of 12.34 acres. The townhouses are located around an internal private roadway system that is accessed via Coulter Boulevard. The project has two sets of development standards to comply with, one is the PUD district and the other is the Highway 5 Corridor Development and Design Standards. The PUD district allows a maximum of 30 percent impervious surface. The applicant is proposing 30 percent impervious surface. Parking, as shown on the plan, meets the city Autumn Ridge 2nd Addition October 4, 1995 Page 6 requirements. Two parking stalls per unit are required, one and one-half of which must be enclosed, plus an additional %4 space per unit. The development and design standards for the Highway 5 Corridor have been incorporated into the applicant's development proposal. Building height is limited to 3 stories or 40 feet. This proposal is for two story buildings. Buildings shall incorporate pitched roofs, variations in the rhythms of the building components and architectural details, the use of colorful and functional plant materials,variation in the mass of buildings and building orientation along Highway 5, and the provision of open spaces and sight lines. The applicant has net provided the city with details on building materials,textures, or colors. Building siding shall be blue, cedar, and tan. Asphalt shingles are weathered wood. The applicant still must provide a plan that assures that these variations in color are in fact implemented. The setbacks for buildings along Highway 5 are 70 feet minimum and 150 feet maximum. For the interior collector, the setbacks are 50 feet minimum and 100 feet maximum. Parking should not be in the minimum setback area. This proposal meets these standards. There will be no roof top equipment. Signage is proposed for the intersection of Galpin Boulevard and the proposed public frontage road. Detail specifications are not available at this time, but the signage must be compatible with the project design and low profile. Lighting shall be consistent with city standards of foot candle at the property line. The development has, at times, taken care in arranging building orientations to provide diversity and varying perspectives. However, along the eastern and western edges of the project, the applicant has provided a monotonous building orientation and perspective. Staff is recommending that the applicant alternate building orientations. The applicant should also redistribute the unit types throughout the project to increase site diversity as well as incorporate single loaded units in the southwest corner of the site adjacent to the wetland and in along staff s proposed loop road through the middle of the site (see alternate design schematic). SUBDIVISION REVIEW WETLANDS Almost fifty percent of this site is characterized as natural wetland. The wetlands on site can be broken into three separate basins that are described as follows: Wetland A- Wetland A is a DNR protected water(10-210W)and is approximately 43.8 acres in size. Since this is a DNR wetland,this wetland is required to have a natural classification by the City's Surface Water Management Plan. DNR established an ordinary high water mark(OHW)of 931.2 for this basin in the interest of the development. Autumn Ridge 2nd Addition October 4, 1995 Page 7 Wetland B - Wetland B is located near the west property boundary (First Addition)and is charac- terized as an ag/urban wetland. This basin,which is approximately 0.3 acre will be partially impacted by the proposed frontage road. Mitigation for this wetland is permitted under Wetland Alteration Permit 95-4. Wetland C - Wetland C is located in the northeast portion of the site and is characterized as an ag/urban wetland. This basin,which is approximately 0.3 acre will be filled as a result of the proposed development. Mitigation for this wetland is permitted under Wetland Alteration Permit 95-4. Buffer Strip-The buffer strip width for Wetland A is 10 to 30 feet with a minimum average width of 20 feet. The principal structure setback is 40 feet measured from the outside edge of the buffer strip. Since park trail is incorporated along the wetland buffer, an additional 8 feet outside the buffer area will be necessary for the trail. Therefore the range of widths for wetland and trail easement requirements is 18 to 38 feet with an overall average of 28 feet. SURFACE WATER MANAGEMENT PLAN The City has adopted a Surface Water Management Plan(SWMP). The SWMP will serve as a tool to protect,preserve, and enhance the City's water resources. The plan identifies the stormwater quantity and quality improvements from a regional perspective necessary to allow future development to take place and minimize its impact to downstream water bodies. In general,the water quantity portion of the plan uses a 100-year design storm interval for ponding and a 10-year design storm interval for storm sewer piping. The water quality portion of the plan uses William Walker Jr.'s Pondnet model for predicting phosphorus concentrations in shallow water bodies. An ultimate conditions model has been developed at each drainage area based on projected future land use, and therefore,different sets of improvements under full development were analyzed to deter- mine the optimum phosphorus reduction in priority water bodies. The City requires storm water quantity calculations for pre and post developed conditions and water quality calculations from the applicant prior to final plat. After review of the calculations,the City will make recommendations for approval of the stormwater plan in accordance with the SWMP. Water Quality The applicant is providing on-site water quality treatment facilities for the first and second addition of the development. Therefore,the water quality fees will be waived. Water Quantity This project is being charged storm water quantity connection fees for medium density land use. The connection charge for medium density developments is$2,975 per developable acre. Based on Autumn Ridge 2nd Addition October 4, 1995 Page 8 the proposed development 12.3 acres the applicant is responsible for a water quantity connection charge of$36,592.50. DRAINAGE The plans propose a series of catch basins to convey storm water runoff to a regional storm water quality treatment pond located in the southwest corner of the site. The pond's side slopes shall be designed as either 4:1 overall or 10:1 for the first 10 feet at the normal water level and 3:1 thereafter for safety purposes. The plans appear to have 3:1 side slopes without the 10:1 foot bench. The City requires the normal and high water levels associated with the ponds and wetlands on the final grading plans. Detailed storm sewer calculations for 10-year and 100-year storm events along with ponding calculations based on Walker's Pondnet methodology shall be submitted to staff for review and approval. Staff recommends an outlet control structure for water quality and an emergency overflow over the top of the pond into the wetland for the 100-year storm events. The City may restore Wetland A in conjunction with the extension of Coulter Blvd. Therefore, the existing ordinary high water level of 931.2 may be raised 1 to 2 feet. It appears that this type of project would not interfere with the development which is 15 to 20 feet higher. Based on a preliminary review,additional storm sewers and catch basins will be needed. Staff will be reviewing these types of improvements at the time of construction plan review and receipt of the drainage calculations. GRADING The plans propose to mass grade the entire site with the exception of the northeast corner in order to accommodate placement of the multi-family type units. The significant oaks in the northeast corner will remain. The existing house and utility structure will be removed in conjunction with this development. In conjunction with reconstructing Galpin Boulevard(County Road 19),the existing roadway grade has been lowered. Commencing at Trunk Highway 5, Galpin Boulevard will be lowered by up to 7 feet. These grade changes are necessary in order to improve sight lines along both Trunk Highway 5 and Galpin Boulevard. The applicant's grading plan has been redesigned to be compatible with the new street grades along Galpin Boulevard. Staff has reviewed the placement of the units and believes modifications have been made to enhance the sight lines from T.H. 5 and modify grades to follow the natural slope characteristics better. Berming is not proposed along the frontage road(Coulter Boulevard). Typically along collector- type streets a combination of berming and landscaping is incorporated into the site plan to minimize noise and provide screening. All berming shall be located outside the City's right-of-way. Some Autumn Ridge 2nd Addition October 4, 1995 Page 9 berming is proposed along T.H. 5 due to grades. In addition, the area should be heavily landscaped for noise abatement. EROSION CONTROL The applicant will need to develop a sediment and erosion control plan in accordance with the City's Best Management Practice Handbook(BMPH). Type III erosion control fencing will be required adjacent the natural wetland. The steep slopes may also require some form of terraced erosion control fencing or temporary sediment basin during the grading phase of construction. All disturbed areas as a result of construction will need to be reseeded and mulched within two weeks after grading is completed. The entire site must be graded prior to issuance of building permits. STREETS The applicant has submitted plans and specifications for the construction of Coulter Boulevard in conjunction with Phase I of Autumn Ridge. Coulter Boulevard is proposed to be construct from Galpin Boulevard (County Road 19)to the west edge of Block 1. The plans for Coulter Boulevard are subject to MnDOT State Aid approval. MnDOT has approved of the alignment of Coulter Boulevard. Since Coulter Boulevard will eventually be extended to Trunk Highway 41 in the future,a temporary cul-de-sac will be constructed at the west end of the project. A condition shall be placed in the PUD/development agreement notifying property owners that Coulter Boulevard will be extended in the future. Since Coulter Boulevard plays a significant role in accessing this development, a condition should be placed in the approval process that the subdivision is contingent upon the City/applicant receiving the necessary construction plan approvals from MnDOT State Aid office. The interior streets are fairly well laid out from a traffic circulation standpoint. The interior streets all connect back out to Coulter Boulevard. All of the streets which branch off Coulter Boulevard are proposed to be private streets and not maintained by the City. The private streets shall be constructed in accordance with the City's private driveway ordinance. The minimum street width for multi-family zoning is 24 feet face-to-face with concrete curb and gutter. Some of the driveways are proposed at 20 feet wide. Parking will be prohibited on all of the private streets. Staff has reviewed the site plan and believes the modifications to the street and building layout on the north end of the site enhance the project and improve sight lines from T.H. 5 and reduce impervious surface without sacrifice to public safety. Since there will be public improvements constructed in conjunction with this development,the applicant will be required to enter into a PUD/development agreement with the City and provide the necessary financial security and administration fees. Autumn Ridge 2nd Addition October 4, 1995 Page 10 Street lighting should also be required within the development. Staff will work with the applicant to develop a street lighting plan and the applicant shall be required to incorporate it into the street construction plans. UTILITIES The City has previously extended trunk sewer and water facilities to service this area. The trunk sanitary sewer has been extended by the City along the wetlands to Coulter Boulevard. The applicant has provided staff with construction plans and specifications for Phase I (Autumn Ridge 1st Addition) which extends sewer and water to this site. Due to the size of this development, it is recommended the applicant use the City's standard specifications and detail plates for construction of the utility systems. Staff has offered an alternative to the applicant with regards to the utility improvements. Since the utility improvements will be constructed in accordance to City standards, staff suggests that the applicant consider turning over ownership and maintenance to the City after the improvements are installed and tested. This would permit proper maintenance on a regular schedule and provide a better level of service to the residences. It would also avoid having the applicant applying for and obtaining numerous permits and inspection from/by She City. The applicant has indicated that he believes it would also be in the best interest of his customers to have the City take over ownership and maintenance of the utilities. MISCELLANEOUS MnDOT's policy is to assist local governments in promoting compatibility between land use and highways. Residential land use adjacent to highways will usually result in complaints about traffic noise. The Minnesota Pollution Control Agency has established noise standards and the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development also has guidelines. Traffic noise from this highway could exceed noise standards established by these agencies. Mn/DOT policy regarding new developments adjacent to existing highways prohibits the expenditure of highway funds for noise mitigation measures. Mn/DOT will not be constructing any noise abatement structures as part of the upcoming T.H. 5 project. The developer should assess the noise situation and take the action deemed necessary to minimize the impact of any traffic noise. LANDSCAPING AND TREE PRESERVATION The site is primarily devoid of trees except in the northeast corner and near the wetlands. The significant tree inventory of the site verifies these tree types consisting of maples, oaks, box elder, and elm. Conifers have been planted in the area of the farmstead. Autumn Ridge 2nd Addition October 4, 1995 Page 11 The applicant has provided the city with the base line canopy coverage calculations and the development's canopy coverage removal estimates. City ordinance requires a canopy coverage of 20 percent for medium density residential developments. The applicant shall revise the tree preservation tabulations as follows: Min. Canopy Coverage 20% (Med. Density Residential; Add. Canopy Coverage Required 1.798 acres; and total trees required 84 80 trees. The only significant tree preservation proposed on the site is in the northeast corner of the property and along the northern portion of the site within the Highway 5 right-of-way. -FIS ever,staff • . . .. .•- - • . . .. . - . . Additional trees have been preserved along Galpin Boulevard and in the southwest corner of the site due to site revisions. The landscaping plan provides 263 trees which would exceed the forestation/replacement requirements. There are 13 different tree species included in the plant schedule. Of the total number of trees provided, 74 trees are ornamentals (28 percent), 126 are conifers (48 percent), 5 are primary species (2 percent), and 58 are secondary species (22 percent). Staff has two concerns with the landscaping plan. The first is the distribution of tree species. Only 24 percent of the trees are either primary or secondary species, almost half the trees are conifers, and 28 percent are ornamentals. The second issue of concern is that the landscape screening for this development is being provided primarily by the evergreens that are being preserved within the Highway 5 right-of-way. To resolve both these issues, staff is recommending that a more equitable distribution of trees be incorporated into the landscaping plan and that additional groupings of evergreens be planted along the northern project boundary to prepare for the possible future removal of the evergreens with the widening of Highway 5. Conifer trees shall average seven feet with a minimum height of six feet. PARKS AND RECREATION The Park and Recreation Commission met on August 22, 1995 to discuss this development. They recommended the following conditions: 1. Full park dedication fees shall be collected per city ordinance. 2. Trail fees for Autumn Ridge 2nd Addition, and retroactively for Autumn Ridge 1st Addition, be waived in consideration of trail construction. This trail construction shall be completed per city specifications within an alignment approved by the city. Autumn Ridge 2nd Addition October 4, 1995 Page 12 RECOMMENDATION Staff recommends that the City Council ' •. . •-1 - . • • . • - • • -' - - -'- adopt the following motion: "The City Council approves Conceptual and Preliminary Planned Unit Development to rezone 12.34 from Agricultural Estate, A2,to Planned Unit Development, PUD (first reading); preliminary plat of Outlot A,Autumn Ridge Addition, creating 94 lots, and one outlot for Autumn Ridge 2nd Addition; and site plan approval for a residential medium density development consisting of 1 two-unit,2 three-unit,2 four-unit structures, 1 six-unit structure and 9 eight-unit structures subject to the following conditions: 1.

Kirchman, Building Official f�,�� DATE: August 24, 1995 v SUBJECT: 93-5 PUD(Scenic Enterprises, Inc. , Autumn Ridge 2nd Addition) Dackcround: I was asked to review the plans stamped"CITY OF CHANHASSEN, RECEIVED, JUN 21 1995, CHANHASSEN PLANNING DEPT. " for the above referenced project. Below are an analysis and recommendations from the Inspections Division -for the proposed project. Analysis: Street Names. In order to avoid conflicts and confusion, street names, public and private, must be reviewed by the Public Safety Department. Proposed street names are not included with the submitted documents. The proposed street name should be different from the names of the streets to the south. Due to the number of units and outlets on the same street, the proposed street name should be given an east/west designation. The proposed street name may have a maximum length of three words including the east/west designation. Building Pads. Locations of proposed dwelling pads and the type of dwelling is necessary to enable the Inspections Division and Engineering Department to perform a satisfactory plan review of the structure at the time of building permit issuance. For the same reason, proposed lowest level floor elevations as well as garage floor elevations are required to be indicated on the proposed pad location. Standard designations (FLO or RLO, R, SE, SEWO, TU, WO) must be shown for proposed dwelling types. These standard designations lessen the chance for errors during the plan review process. The memo explaining these designations is enclosed. Demolition Permits. Existing structures on the property which will be demolished will require demolition permits. Proof of well abandonment must be furnished to the City and a permit for septic system abandonment must be obtained and the septic system abandoned prior to issuance of a demolition permit. Structure Setbacks. Details of proposed buildings have not been furnished. Bob Generous August 24, 1995 Page 2 Table 5-A of the Uniform Building Code (UBC) prohibits openings in walls that are within three feet of a property line. Projections (decks, overhangs, etc. ) must comply with UBC 503 .2 . 1 and 705 which generally permit projections to extend a maximum of one third the distance to the property line, but require these projections to be of one-hour fire- resistive construction. What this means is that property lines should generally be four to five feet from the buildings. Recommendations: The following conditions should be added to the conditions of approval . 1 . Submit street names to the Public Safety Department, Inspections Division for review prior to final plat approval . 2 . Revise the preliminary grading plan to show the location of proposed dwelling pads, using standard designations and the lowest level floor and garage floor elevations. This should be done prior to final plat approval . 3 . Obtain demolition permits. This should be done prior to any grading on the property. 4 . Adjust property lines to permit openings and projections in exterior walls or confirm that no openings or projections are planned. This must be done before preliminary plat approval . - enclosure: January 29, 1993 memorandum g:\safety\sak\memos\plan\autmrdge.bg3 CITY OF ._ CHANHASSEN 690 COULTER DRIVE • P.O.

Kirchman, Building Official At DATE: January 29, 1993 SUBJ: Dwelling Type Designation We have been requesting on site plan reviews that the developer designate the type of dwelling that is acceptable on each proposed lot in a new development. I thought perhaps it might he helpful to staff to explain and diagram these designations and the reasoning behind the requirements. F IX)or RLO Designates Front Lookout or Rear Lookout This includes dwellings with ti'e basement floor level approximately 8'below grade at its deepest with the surrounding grade sloping down to approximately 4' above the basement floor level. R Designates Rambler. This includes dwellings with the basement floor level approximately 8'below grade with the surrounding grade approximately level. This would include two story's and many 4 level dwellings. SE Designates Split Entry. This includes dwellings with the basement floor level approximately 4'below grade with the surrounding grade approximately level. SEWO Designates Split Entry Walk Out This includes dwellings with the basement floor level approximately 4' below grade at its deepest with the surrounding grade sloping down to lowest floor level. TU Designates Tuck Under. This includes dwellings with the basement floor level approximately 8' below grade at its deepest with the surrounding grade sloping down to the lowest floor level in the front of the dwelling. WO Designates Walk Out. This includes dwellings with the basement floor level approximately 8'below grade at its deepest with the surrounding grade sloping down to the lowest floor level in the rear of the dwelling. f SE SEWO WOor RLO Inspections staff uses these designations when reviewing plans which are then passed to the engineering staff for further review. Approved grading plans are compared to proposed building plans to insure compliance to approved conditions. The same designation must be used on all documents in order to avoid confusion and incorrect plan reviews. ��• PRINTED ON RECYCLED PAPER 4' 0 . • 0 H, .., � NOTICE OF PUBLIC ` " . p.. .. . ✓ HEARING a' , PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING Wednesday, SEPTEMBER 6, 1995 /� - at 7:00 p.m. , Aoc : t•0 �` City Hall Council Chambers �� 690 Coulter Drive .>:.v • Project: Autumn Ridge 2nd Addition P ,Lt.

We find the plat acceptable for further development with consideration of the following comments. Many of these comments are a reiteration of our previous reviews of development at this site. • We request that the owner dedicate access control to the public where the plat abuts Trunk Highway (TH) 5 right of way, and that this dedication be identified on the plat document. Please provide Jay Karlovich of our Right of Way Section with a copy of the final document for our records. It may be sent to him at the above address. Questions may be directed to Mr. Karlovich at 582-1261. • The TH 5 reconstruction project (SP 1002-61) may require some additional right of way beyond what is presently shown on the plat. We have plotted the proposed construction limits as presently designed, and based on these limits Mn/DOT may need some additional right of way between stations 891+50 to 897+00. Actual right of way needs should be verified with James Unruh, designer for Barton-Aschman. The City of Chanhassen, which is the lead agency for agreement and design, should be able to determine this in concert with Mr. Unruh. • We appreciate efforts to provide improvements to the TH 5/Galpin Boulevard intersection. We note that signalization and turn lane construction are nearly complete. These improvements should accommodate some new development in this vicinity, and appear to adequately serve the needs presented by Autumn Ridge Second Addition. An Equal Opportunity Employer Robert Generous August 28, 1995 page two • A Mn/DOT drainage permit will be required for the proposed development. Application for permit must include drainage computations and drainage area maps showing both existing and proposed conditions. Existing drainage systems, patterns, and rates of runoff within and across Mn/DOT right of way must be retained. Any questions regarding Mn/DOT's drainage concerns should be directed to Mary Hondl of our Hydraulics Section at 797-3040. • Any use of or work within Mn/DOT right of way will require an approved Mn/DOT permit. The permit necessary depends on the nature of the proposed work. Bill Warden, of our permits section, may be contacted at 582-1443 for information regarding the permit process. • As you may be aware, the approval of the Hazeltine Bavaria Watershed, the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources, the Corps of Engineers, and possibly the Purgatory Bluff Creek Watershed is also required. If you have_any questions regarding this review, please contact me at 582-1386.

AND HIGHWAY 5, SCENIC ENTERPRISES, INC., AUTUMN RIDGE 2ND ADDmON. Bob Generous presented the staff report on this item. Nutting: Any questions for staff? Meyer: I've got one Bob...from Highway 5 that... Generous: It's not, well...so we'd have views through the property rather than into, their plan has basically the entrance, driveways facing the outside of the development and we think that by changing that orientation, the orientation of the buildings, we get the garage doors and most of the ends of...different view. Also reducing the grading...2 foot elevation...reduce the grading on the west end. Also...single loaded units on the west side, you not only get a more desirable... Conrad: What are single loaded units? Generous: There's one entrance. So you drive in and. Aanenson: Instead of the back to back units. Generous: Yeah. The back to back, doubled loaded and single loaded... Skubic: Say Bob, what kind of issues were there in the previous proposal? Generous: One was the orientation. It's something that looks like, for lack of a better terms, a barracks set-up that they... There were grading issues that were involved there also... Nutting: Any guesstimates as to the number of units they would maintain with alternate grading? 10 Planning Commission Meeting - September 6, 1995 Generous: We believe, this plan maintains the 94 units. There are some, what we did is basically cut their plans out and just shifted them around on site. We elongated the single loaded units. Nutting: Any further questions of staff? This is a public hearing. Or excuse me, does the applicant or their designee wish to address the commission? Seeing no one, can I have a motion to open the public hearing? Conrad moved, Meyer seconded to open the public hewing. The public hewing was opened. Nutting: Does anybody care to address the Commission? Seeing none, may I have a motion to close the public hearing? Conrad moved, Meyer seconded to close the public hewing. The public hewing was closed. Nutting: Comments from commissioners, and I guess Kate, is the applicant here tonight? Generous: I haven't seen him. He was aware, we had told them before that we were tabling it. We were recommending that this item be tabled and his response was, well we're not going to be able to get into... Nutting: So basically if members of the commission have input as to. Aanenson: Right, that's why we kept it on the agenda. We did notice it for public hearing. It's a good opportunity to let other people give comments and give direction along as it's tabled and then also for review, if you have specific guidance for the developer that we can... Nutting: Jeff? Farmakes: ...recommendations in the report... Generous: Right. We're recommending tabling it so that they can come back. Farmakes: Right, I understand that. You have a list of reasons for the recommendations and you do cover on page 6 the issue...went over that with Lundgren on the issue...decide to get closer to the highway... Nutting: If that's not in the conditions, similar to that condition you had on the car wash project, there's certainly, it's an obvious but maybe it's not so obvious. Is that it? 11 Planning Commission Meeting - September 6, 1995 Farmakes: Yeah, that's my comments. Nutting: Bob. Skubic: I see that staff is directing the applicant towards a little more diversity and a little more contrast in his units through re-arranging the site a little bit and I think in here it says they will be using different window treatments and colors. Is there anything else that can be done to, along these lines? What are the options and tools that can be used? Aanenson: Well I think the one thing in this project is there's a mix of different types of units. That's one thing. I think that's one of the reasons why we want it oriented the other way because the way they had it before, all the garage pours on that side faced the highway so when you drove by you saw, and as Bob indicated with the change in grading, we felt that that gave a break between the buildings. Plus the change in elevation. Landscaping. Helped soften some of that. Again it kind of comes into a cost, we try to have some variation in colors. Subtle changes and still stay within...some uniformity affects cost. But I think having them draw the different types of the number of units on the building, there's a range in there. On the single loaded and that helps break up those too. Generous: Plus with the grading you also get the step down and the building peak so you will...to see that and that will provide some interest also. Skubic: Thank you. Nutting: Ladd. Conrad: I think staff's direction is real good. It's excellent for a medium density. I think you're doing exactly what we want you to do. I'm real distressed that the applicant isn't here. That tells me something and it's sure not winning and points to be here tonight. He or she should be here tonight. It doesn't count. They should be listening to us tonight and be here so I'm, it's like this hasn't appeared on my desk yet. Nutting: Mike. Meyer: Nothing additional, no. Nutting: Okay. I would also concur with staff's direction. I guess the issue of the grading has come up before. Is the reason we're running into not able to resolve that issue, I mean has anybody looked at the cost issues? Mass grading versus the refined approach, with staff. I mean are we talking, is it an issue where we've suddenly told the developer, you know we 12 Planning Commission Meeting - September 6, 1995 prefer you do it this way and the developer's looking and saying, you know that adds another $50,000.00 to my project cost. I mean that number's a bit high, I realize but I know we've gone through the issue on the grading before so I'm just curious if there's something more serious at play or just maybe an unclear ability to work with staff? I don't know. Hempel: Maybe I can address that. This applicant is the same applicant that's done Autumn Ridge 1st, who received final plat approval recently and also received notice to proceed with site grading on their first phase, which they have not started yet either. So I believe the construction season as it gets shorter every day, maybe the applicant is just not intending to proceed yet this fall and wants to think about it over the winter months further. Staffs direction though with redesigning the placement of the units should only save the applicant money in the long run with regards to. Nutting: That's my assumption also but it's. Hempel: Earth work to move and there's also a balancing act of material on the site though too that has to be looked at in greater detail. It's looking at a flat piece of paper. Placing the units on it but we felt pretty confident that.in the long run that it will reduce the grading. Nutting: Okay. I think it's good. Good idea. Okay. May I have a motion? Farmakes: I make a motion that the staff recommends the Planning Commission table this item to permit the applicant the opportunity to address the following comments and revise the plans as appropriate, 1 through 33 with the addition of the signage...by staff. The plans that are...date here are September 6, 1995 and the staff report. Nutting: Is there a second? Meyer: I'll second that. Nutting: It's been moved and seconded. Is there any further discussion? Famakes moved, Meyer seconded that the Planning Commission table action on Autumn Ridge 2nd Addition to permit the applicant the opportunity to address the following comments and revise the plans as appropriate: 1. A ten foot clear space must be maintained around fire hydrants, i.e. street lamps, trees, shrubs, bushes, NSP, NW Bell, cable television, transformer boxes. This is to insure that fire hydrants can be quickly located and safely operated by firefighters. Pursuant to Chanhassen City Ordinance 9-1. 13 Planning Commission Meeting - September 6, 1995 2.

The rear two lots, Lots 1 and 2, will be accessed via a private street that will serve as the access for the entire site. The proposed subdivision does not require any public improvements and is served by adequate urban infrastructure. A master site development plan, grading, drainage and erosion control plan will be required prior to approving the final plat. Staff has worked extensively with the applicant to revise their site plan for the Tires Plus building to comply with city design requirements. We are recommending that the applicant provide a pitched roof, either gabled or hip,to comply with the Highway 5 standards and to be consistent with the majority of development within the central business district. Staff is recommending approval of the subdivision and site plan subject to the conditions of the staff report. BACKGROUND On March 9, 1992, the Chanhassen City Council approved Crossroads Plaza 2nd-Addition which replatted Lots 1 and 2, Block 1, Crossroads Plaza Addition, into two lots. Council also granted site plan approval for an 11,468 square foot bank and office building for Americana Community Bank. On October 23, 1989,the Chanhassen City Council approved a site plan for a 14,000 square foot bank and office building. However, the development was never undertaken and the applicant withdrew the site plan. On February 12, 1989, the Chanhassen City Council approved preliminary and final plat for Crossroads Plaza Addition. The plat consisted of two lots and four outlots. Two of the outlots were utilized for Highway 5 right-of-way. The other two outlots were used for drainage and stormwater retention ponds. SUBDIVISION UTILITIES Municipal sewer and water service is available from West 79th Street, however, it needs to be extended through the parcel to the Tires Plus lot. Crossroads Plaza 3rd/Tires Plus October 4, 1995 Page 3 GRADING The entire site should be mass graded in one phase to minimize disruption to existing businesses as well as to balance earthwork on the site. A final grading and drainage plan needs to be developed in accordance with city ordinances. The final plan would be subject to staff and City Council approval. In order to proceed for City Council review on October 23, 1995, the applicant must submit a master grading, drainage and utility plan for the site by October 9, 1995. DRAINAGE There are existing storm sewers in West 79th Street that should accommodate runoff from this development. However, a detailed master site drainage plan should be developed to tie into the existing storm sewer lines on West 79th Street. The City's Surface Water Management Plan proposes for regional stormwater ponds on the south side of West 79th Street that still need to be developed. In conjunction with this project, those downstream water quality projects could be completed with the overall site improvements thus reducing the surface water management fees associated with this development. ACCESS Access to these four lots is proposed from West 79th Street. The new curbcut will require relocating existing landscaping. An overall master site plan should be prepared and submitted for review and approval for access to the Tires Plus and other lots in the development. LANDSCAPING/TREE PRESERVATION Existing boulevard trees, planted by the city, are located along West 79th Street. Additional trees are located on the east and west sides of the site on adjacent properties. Individual site plan landscaping will be done on each lot.

The proposed subdivision is consistent with the zoning ordinance; Finding: The subdivision meets all the requirements of the BH, Highway Business District. 2. The proposed subdivision is consistent with all applicable city, county and regional plans including but not limited to the city's comprehensive plan; Finding: The proposed subdivision is consistent with applicable plans. 3. The physical characteristics of the site, including but not limited to topography, soils, vegetation, susceptibility to erosion and siltation, susceptibility to flooding, and storm water drainage are suitable for the proposed development; _ Finding: The proposed site is suitable for development subject to the conditions specified in this report. 4. The proposed subdivision makes adequate provision for water supply, storm drainage, sewage disposal, streets, erosion control and all other improvements required by this chapter; Finding: The proposed subdivision is served by adequate urban infrastructure. While the parcel will be developed by the individual site users, a master development plan for grading, drainage, and utilities will need to be developed prior to final plat approval. 5. The proposed subdivision will not cause environmental damage; Finding: The proposed subdivision will not cause environmental damage subject to conditions if approved. 6. The proposed subdivision will not conflict with easements of record. Finding: The proposed subdivision will not conflict with existing easements, but rather will expand and provide all necessary easements. Crossroads Plaza 3rd/Tires Plus October 4, 1995 Page 5 7. The proposed subdivision is not premature. A subdivision is premature if any of the following exists: a. Lack of adequate storm water drainage. b. Lack of dedicated and improved public streets. c. Lack of adequate sanitary sewer systems. d. Lack of adequate off-site public improvements or support systems. Finding: The proposed subdivision is provided with adequate urban infrastructure. SITE PLAN GENERAL SITE PLAN/ARCHITECTURE The proposed development is within the Highway 5 corridor and must comply with the design standards established therein. - The standards of the overlay district include: 1. Parking and building orientation: • The site meets this standard. The parking setback in the HC-1 district are those established by the underlying zoning. The site parking meets this requirement. The building is oriented to West 79th Street. This orientation maintains the visual concept which the city would like for the entire site. The development of the entire Crossroads Plaza 3rd Addition will locate structures to the periphery of the site with the majority of parking located in the center. 2. The architectural design standards. • The materials and details of the buildings are consistent with the Hwy. 5 standards. The project incorporates brick exterior with a well designed landscaping plan. Building materials are of a high quality. While the project incorporates a pitched roof element through a false facade, staff believes that a sloped roof with either gable or hip construction can and should be incorporated into the structure. • The overall design and architectural theme for the development consists of brick exterior walls. recessed areas, and varied building facades. Crossroads Plaza 3rd/Tires Plus October 4, 1995 Page 6 • Building height is limited to three stories or 40 feet. The proposed structure is one story of approximately 22 feet. • The proposed development incorporates the use of high quality materials in both building and landscaping elements. • The site design is such as to avoid the accumulation of trash, leaves and dirt. • The building components are proportional and relate well to one another. • Building colors are harmonious and create a pleasant aesthetic experience. 3. Landscape Design and Site Furnishings • The applicant's landscaping plan is well designed and incorporates the use of native tree species as well as extensive buffering materials. The plan reforests a site devoid of vegetation. Minnegasco will not permit the placement of trees within their 20 foot easement on the north side of the structure so the revised building design will permit placement of trees on the north side of the parking lot as well as to the north and east of the building. ACCESS Access to the site will be provided via a private street from West 79th Street into the site which must comply to city standards. GRADING/DRAINAGE Grading of the site must be consistent with the master development plan that will be required of the plat. LANDSCAPING The landscaping plan exceeds the minimum requirements of code. However, Minnegasco will not permit the planting of trees within their easement along the northern property line. LIGHTING/SIGNAGE The applicant is proposing 22 foot high parking lot light poles with wall mounted light fixtures on the south, east and west elevations. Crossroads Plaza 3rd/Tires Plus October 4, 1995 Page 7 The applicant is proposing signage on the south, east, and west elevations. City code permits signage on street frontage only. Signage will only be permitted on the south elevation and must comply with city code requirements. No panel signs will be permitted. A separate sign permit will be required for signage. SITE PLAN FINDINGS In evaluating a site plan and building plan, the city shall consider the development's compliance with the following: (1) Consistency with the elements and objectives of the city's development guides, including the comprehensive plan, official road mapping, and other plans that may be adopted; (2) Consistency with this division; (3) Preservation of the site in its natural state to the extent practicable by minimizing tree and soil removal and designing grade changes to be in keeping with the general appearance of the neighboring developed or developing or developing areas; (4) Creation of a harmonious relationship of building and open space with natural site features and with existing and future buildings having a visual relationship to the development; (5) Creation of functional and harmonious design for structures and site features, with special attention to the following: a. An internal sense of order for the buildings and use on the site and provision of a desirable environment for occupants, visitors and general community; b. The amount and location of open space and landscaping; c. Materials, textures, colors and details of construction as an expression of the design concept and the compatibility of the same with adjacent and neighboring structures and uses; and d. Vehicular and pedestrian circulation, including walkways, interior drives and parking in terms of location and number of access points to the public streets, width of interior drives and access points, general interior Crossroads Plaza 3rd/Tires Plus October 4, 1995 Page 8 circulation, separation of pedestrian and vehicular traffic and arrangement and amount of parking. (6) Protection of adjacent and neighboring properties through reasonable provision for surface water drainage, sound and sight buffers, preservation of views, light and air and those aspects of design not adequately covered by other regulations which may have substantial effects on neighboring land uses. Finding: The proposed development, as designed, does not comply with the Zoning Ordinance nor the Highway 5 overlay standards. The applicant is proposing site coverage of 66.4 percent. City code permits a maximum site coverage of 65 percent. An additional 428 square feet of landscaped area would be required on the site to meet this requirement. Originally, the applicant was proposing site coverage of 77 percent and was short of landscape area by approximately 1,400 square feet. Staff has worked with the applicant to revise the plans to reduce this deficiency. Staff believes that the revised plans are acceptable and that the 428 square feet is not an issue. In order to meet this requirement, the applicant could remove two more parking spaces if the Planning Commission so desires. The Highway 5 design standard requires a pitched roof element. The proposed peaked sign area parapet wall on the southern elevation of the building does not meet the intent of the ordinance. The applicant shall incorporate a sloped roof on the structure. RECOMMENDATION Staff recommends that the Planning Commission adopt the following motions: Subdivision "The Planning Commission recommends that City Council approve subdivision 95-13, Crossroads 3rd Addition, replatting Lot 2, Block 1, Crossroads Plaza 2nd Addition into 4 lots subject to the following conditions: 1. Submit master plan showing entire site plan with utilities. Fire hydrant locations will be reviewed at that time. 2. This development proposal is similar to the Market Square proposal where there was a master utility, grading, and drainage plan used to develop the overall site. The plan document submitted with a Tires Plus submittal does not provide enough information. The applicant needs to develop an overall master grading, drainage, and utility plan to service the entire development. In order to proceed for City Council review on Crossroads Plaza 3rd/Tires Plus October 4, 1995 Page 9 October 23, 1995, the applicant must submit a master plan for the site by October 9, 1995. All utilities shall be installed in accordance with the City's latest edition of Standard Specifications. Completion of the utilities, most likely the mainline utilities, will be owned and maintained by the City. Therefore, detailed construction plans as well as as-built plans will be required. 3. The preliminary plat itself appears to be acceptable. The appropriate drainage and utility easements will be dedicated with the plat. 4. Existing landscaping along West 79th Street will be in conflict with the proposed driveway. These trees will need to be relocated. 5. There is an existing concrete driveway apron on West 79th Street located in the southwest corner of the site that will need to be removed. 6. The applicant needs to hire or retain a qualified wetlands delineator to verify any wetlands on the site. 7. This subdivision proposal will be subject to water quality and quantity surface water management fees (SWMP) in accordance to city ordinance." Site Plan "The Planning Commission recommends that City Council approve site plan 95-10, plans dated prepared by Yaggy Colby Associates, for Tires Plus, on Lot 1, Block 1, Crossroads Plaza 3rd Addition, subject to the following conditions: 1. Building is required to be fire sprinklered per NFPA 13. 2. Ten foot clear space must be maintained around fire hydrants. 3. Submit radius turn dimensions for approval. 4. Signage will only be permitted on the south elevation and must comply with city code requirements. No panel signs will be permitted. A separate sign permit will be required for signage. 5. Grading of the site must be consistent with the master development plan that will be required of the plat. Crossroads Plaza 3rd/Tires Plus October 4, 1995 Page 10 6. The applicant shall incorporate a pitched roof on the building. 7. Revise the site plan consistent with the `Revised Plans 9/27/95.' 8.

Box 147 Chanhassen, MN 55317 RE: Tires Plus Groupe, Ltd., Proposal Project Narrative Dear Todd: Tires Plus Groupe, Ltd., proposes construction of a facility in the city's commercial redevelopment project. The site, located in the northwest corner of the property, is 133' x 230' in. size. This allows ample room for the construction of a 7-bay facility with internal circulation to limit the number of overhead access doors. Ample parking was provided for the facility on site, as well as attractive landscaping. The landscaping is an important part of the proposal. The plant materials are arranged in such a fashion as to provide a "development edge" to this multi-user commercial development. The arrangement of the plant materials will provide both an element of screening from the railroad and commercial properties to the north, as well as providing a focal end-point as the property is viewed from the highway. A landscaped area forms the eastern boundary of the property providing an attractive landscaped terminus to the entrance drive. The building architecture makes use of brick and stucco materials and is a further variation and improvement upon the award winning facility constructed in Apple Valley. This enhanced facility has greater aesthetic appeal than the standard prototype building used by Tires Plus and is commensurate with the"up scale" environment Chanhassen has sought to achieve. Several elements regarding overall sanitary sewer, water and storm sewer service to the project have yet to be determined. Therefore, Tires Plus has made several assumptions regarding municipal utility services. It is anticipated that such services will be extended through the main access drive into the property for centralized access. A 4" sanitary sewer and 6" water service is proposed to connect with the main at the southeast corner of the property. This will provide ample sanitary sewer service and water service for both domestic and fire control functions. 215 NORTH ADAMS (515)424-6344 EQUAL OPPORTUNITY MASON CITY,IOWA 50401 FAX(515)424-0351 EMPLOYER Mr. Todd Gerhardt May 16, 1995 Page 2 It is anticipated that the storm water will be surface drained from this property to properties adjoining to the south at which point it will be collected and piped to the storm sewer existing in the street right-of-way south of the project. The general orientation of the site is to naturally drain southward from the north portion of the property that is of higher elevation. An erosion control plan is included for approval that will provide ample control during the construction process. It is not anticipated that any particular impact will be placed on the existing utility systems requiring any unusual accommodation by the city. Tires Plus, although very successful, by their nature are low traffic generators as compared to other commercial businesses. For that reason, this is a very attractive addition to the rear portion of this project. Tires Plus has developed an uncommon philosophy and strategy toward its sales and service operation. They have, in effect, reinvented the process of tires sales and service. Their strategies - include attractive but serviceable buildings, a prohibition against exterior display of tires and a prohibition-of overnight storage of vehicles in the parking lot. This, coupled with lighting control, excellent landscaping and reasonable operating hours, have combined to make them attractive additions to other commercial neighborhoods. Since its founding in the Twin Cities in 1976, this operating philosophy has allowed Tires Plus to expand to some 60 stores throughout the midwest and achievement of its status as the premiere tires sales and service facility in the region. Tires Plus looks forward to being an attractive addition to Chanhassen's redevelopment program. If you have any questions regarding this proposal, please do not hesitate to call.

Also enclosed is a copy of our section map for the area showing the location of Minnegasco' s natural gas mains in the area. Some individual services are not shown. Natural gas service is available to this property from the main shown. Minnegasco owns and operates a 6" natural gas pipeline in a 20 easement . This easement was granted to Minnegasco or a predecessor for this pipeline. We have serious concerns about the grading and landscaping for this project and therefore object to these portions of the project until our concerns are resolved. Enclosed is a copy of our guidelines for encroachments into pipeline easements. If the developer follows these guidelines most of our concerns will be resolved. The developer/builder should contact Bryan Petrica, Minnegasco Commercial Energy Services at 321-4323 , to make application for natural gas service. S ' cerel , „Cow"' ,-7-1,/ Richard J. /i on, P.E.

GUIDELINES FOR CONSTRUCTION AND/OR ENCROACHMENT WITHIN GAS PIPELINE EASEMENTS The following guidelines are general requirements only. Minnegasco may inspect the area and review construction plans. Final construction plans must be approved by Minnegasco before any construction is begun within Minnegasco's easement. 1 . Soil shall not be removed or placed in a manner that will result in earth or pavement cover over the pipeline of less than three feet or more than five feet. A level area of not less than six feet on each side of the pipeline shall be maintained at all times. Slope beyond 6' from the pipeline shall not be steeper than 4 to 1 , unless otherwise agreed. Any amount of cut or fill, within the 4 to 1 slope area, shall increase the width of the level area on each side of the pipeline by that same amount of cut or fill. The pipeline must be fully accessible at all times during and after the construction. 2. Landscaping over and within ten feet on each side of the pipeline is restricted to normal ground cover` vegetation. Beyond ten feet on each side of the pipeline, upright plantings are restricted to (and shall not exceed) six feet in height. No trees shall be planted or remain within the easement. Any trees, removed within the easement while performing maintenance activities shall not be replaced by Minnegasco or owner. 3. Any buried utility line installed across the inplace pipeline shall be placed with no less than one foot of vertical separation (Federal Regulation), padded with well compacted soil (preferably granular material) and cross at an angle less than 45°, from normal to the pipeline. 4. With prior Minnegasco approval, parking lots, perpendicular driveways or roadways of portland cement concrete or asphaltic concrete (or similar materials) may be placed within the easement, but shall be reasonably limited in width when crossing the easement to minimize the interference with or access to the pipeline for inspection and maintenance. Permanent structures, including, but not limited to, buildings, signs, screen walls, decks, tennis courts, and swimming pools are not allowed under any circumstances within the easement. Installations such as retaining walls and fences that may restrict longitudinal access require approval by Minnegasco before construction. All fences must have a 10 foot wide gate centered over the pipeline. 5. Once Minnegasco and the Owner, Developer or Contractor have reached an agreement, Minnegasco shall be given at least two working days advance notice of planned construction activity so arrangements can be made for Minnegasco Personnel to monitor the construction. Minnegasco will locate and stake the pipeline, but will not assume responsibility to expose or backfill the pipeline or to determine the actual elevation of the inplace pipeline. Excavation to expose the pipeline shall be parallel to the pipeline. Minnegasco Personnel must be present during this excavation. 6. Any subsequent damage or destruction caused by Minnegasco in the exercise of its easements rights, of any and all of those certain foreign constructions (landscaping, driveway, roadway, utility lines, etc.) which may be permitted within the easement area, will be permanently repaired or replaced at the owner's or contractor's (not Minnegasco's) expense. 7. In accordance with Federal Department of Transportation Codes, Minnegasco must place markers over the transmission line. These markers will always be placed behind both sides of the curb or behind the driven roadway. All markers placed by Minnegasco will not be removed. If you have any questions call: Richard J.

I I \ , --1 Pillsbury Bakeries October 4, 1995 Page 2 PROPOSAL/SUMMARY Pillsbury Bakeries and Foodservice is proposing a 48,800 expansion for a storage freezer(18,500 sq. ft.), shipping dock(16,100 sq. ft.), and receiving area(14,200 sq. ft.). The total structure with the addition will be 344,200 square feet. As part of the expansion of the building, the applicant is proposing the creation of a semi-trailer truck staging area in the southeast corner of the existing parking lot to provide on-site parking for up to 32 trucks that have been parking on Audubon Road and expanding the employee parking area on the western portion of the site. The proposed additions will be consistent with the existing architectural style and building material. The proposed landscaping enhances total site landscaping as well as providing screening for the parking and loading areas. Occupancy of the building will not change due to the proposed expansion. The proposed expansion will increase the number of trucks that can be serviced at one time from 7 to 13. In addition, the freezer expansion will permit Pillsbury to store additional items as well as stage and fill more orders which will improve the efficiency of the operation and keep the trucks from having to park on Audubon Road. Staff is recommending approval of the site plan for the expansion of the building. BACKGROUND In December 1994, Pillsbury Barkeries received administrative site plan approval for a 5,500 square foot expansion of the employee facilities. In September 1992, McGlynn's received administrative site plan approval for construction of a CO2 storage tank along the south side of the building. On November 19, 1990, the Chanhassen City Council approved a conditional use permit (#88-2) for food processing facility in an IOP district and site plan(#88-3) amendments for a 53,000 square foot production area and a 3,600 square foot refrigeration/equipment room expansion. On August 8, 1988,the Chanhassen City Council approved Subdivision 88-13 creating Lot 1, Block 1, McGlynn Addition and two outlots, and site plan 88-3 approving a 161,700 square foot building for office, warehouse and food processing for McGlynn's Bakery. Pillsbury Bakeries October 4, 1995 Page 3 GENERAL SITE PLAN/ARCHITECTURE HIGHWAY 5 STANDARDS This property is located within the Highway 5 Corridor District, HC-1 District. The project must comply with the architectural design standards within the district, the intent of which is to attain high quality in both design and construction of the development. Specifically, the development must be consistent with all plans and ordinances; must preserve natural conditions to the greatest extent feasible; must establish harmonious physical and visual relationships with existing and proposed development in the corridor; must use appropriate materials, lighting, texture, colors, architectural, and landscape forms to create a high quality design concept; must contain one or more pitched roof elements; must create a unified sense of internal order; must create a suitable balance between the amount and arrangement of open space, landscaping, view protection through screening, buffering, and orientation; must provide safe and adequate access and internal circulation; and must provide adequate separation from adjacent properties. Staff believes that this development has met the intent of the ordinance based on the proposed design and the conditions of approval contained in this staff report. The expansion will continue the architectural details established as part of the existing structure with the use of random ribbed tilt up concrete panels. Building height will continue to be varied. However, due to the size of the structure, it is impractical to incorporate a pitched roof. ACCESS Access to the property is provided via Audubon Road and Coulter Boulevard. As part of the building expansion, the applicant will be providing on-site truck staging areas in the southeast corner of the parking lot. With the additional parking area and new shipping docks located in the southwest corner of the site, the truck traffic problem on Audubon Road should be eliminated or reduced significantly. LANDSCAPING The applicant is proposing the relocation of 18 existing trees within the site as well as providing 55 additional conifers to screen the loading area and parking lot area and an additional 12 overstory trees. GRADING/DRAINAGE Plans propose on expanding the parking lot on the westerly end of the site for additional employee parking. Additional grading will be performed in the southwest corner of the building for the new shipping addition to expand the shipping docks. Erosion control measures are being employed for the most part. Additional erosion control fence (Type I) should be installed along Pillsbury Bakeries October 4, 1995 Page 4 the southerly curbline of the entrance off of Audubon Road and tie in with the proposed silt fence along the easterly property line of Audubon Road. The site has existing storm drainage facilities to accommodate proposed additions. No additional storm sewer will be necessary. LIGHTING/SIGNAGE The applicant is not proposing additional signage for the expansion. Parking lot lighting must comply with city ordinance. SITE PLAN FINDINGS In evaluating a site plan and building plan,the city shall consider the development's compliance with the following: (1) Consistency with the elements and objectives of the city's development guides, including the comprehensive plan, official road mapping, and other plans that may be adopted; (2) Consistency with this division; (3) Preservation of the site in its natural state to the extent practicable by minimizing tree and soil removal and designing grade changes to be in keeping with the general appearance of the neighboring developed or developing or developing areas; (4) Creation of a harmonious relationship of building and open space with natural site features and with existing and future buildings having a visual relationship to the development; (5) Creation of functional and harmonious design for structures and site features, with special attention to the following: a. An internal sense of order for the buildings and use on the site and provision of a desirable environment for occupants, visitors and general community; b. The amount and location of open space and landscaping; Pillsbury Bakeries October 4, 1995 Page 5 c. Materials, textures, colors and details of construction as an expression of the design concept and the compatibility of the same with adjacent and neighboring structures and uses; and d. Vehicular and pedestrian circulation, including walkways, interior drives and parking in terms of location and number of access points to the public streets, width of interior drives and access points, general interior circulation, separation of pedestrian and vehicular traffic and arrangement and amount of parking. (6) Protection of adjacent and neighboring properties through reasonable provision for surface water drainage, sound and sight buffers, preservation of views, light and air and those aspects of design not adequately covered by other regulations which may have substantial effects on neighboring land uses. Finding: The proposed site plan complies with city code and all requirements for site plan approval. The applicant will be providing on-site truck parking to remove trucks that currently park on Audubon Road. RECOMMENDATION Staff recommends the following motion: "The City Council approves site plan 95-17, Pillsbury Bakeries and Foodservice expansion, as shown on the plans dated September 15, 1995, subject to the following conditions: 1. Revise sheet C-1 to show 12 handicap parking spaces complying with MSBC 1340. 2. Parking on Audubon Road should be eliminated and alternative truck stacking or parking areas should be accommodated in the parking lot on site. The applicant shall incorporate on- site semi-trailer truck parking and staging area and shall revise the site plan accordingly. 3. A ten foot clear space must be maintained around fire hydrants. 4.

Memorandum TO: City of Chanhassen FROM: Ric Moore/Pillsbury Bakeries &Foodservice DATE: August 30, 1995 SUBJECT: Freezer/Dock expansion project Description of intended use of site; buildings; occupancy. ********************************************* * The intended use of the site is to provide receiving, storage, staging and shipping space to accommodate our frozen bakery product business here in Chanhassen. * There are three "buildings" that make up this project. Freezer expansion: The existing holding freezer will be expanded by approximately 18,500 sq.ft. Dock expansion: The existing dock will be expanded by approximately 16,100 sq. ft. Receiving expansion:The existing receiving area will be expanded by approximately 14,200 sq.ft. * Occupancy will NOT change as a result of this project. This project allows for more receiving, storage, staging and shipping space for product. There will be no increase in personnel due to the increase in space in this project. ** It is our desire to submit plans, drawings, and details to Kate Aanenson/City Planning Director by September 15, 1995. We would like review, discussions and approval by the Planning Commission by October 4, 1995. It would be advantageous for us to get City Council approval on October 9, 1995. (The pressing need is getting the foundations in the ground before the freeze). *** We plan to expand our employee parking lot by approximately 25,000 sq. ft. concurrent with the above project. This expansion will recover parking spots lost to a recently implemented "trailer spotting" procedure located in our southern parking lot area. This "trailer spotting" procedure was implemented to alleviate truck congestion on Audubon Road. Chanhassen Site Plan Review -Application 08/31/95 Tabulation Box 1.

I have also included one reduced set of drawings. The following are my responses to your preliminary review comments that we discussed in our telephone conversation on 9/18/95: 1. Regarding screening of the new shipping dock, it is my opinion that the view of the expanded shipping dock from Audubon Road will closely match the project rendering shown on the cover sheet of the attached drawings. Screening will be provided through construction of a new berm along Audubon that will have the same height as the existing berm. Supplemental landscaping along the top and sides of the berm will be provided for additional screening, as is shown on the attached landscape drawing. Regarding screening at the new receiving docks, you agreed to conduct a field visit to the site to determine if any additional landscaping or berms will be required in order to screen the new receiving dock addition from the properties to the west. No additional screening for the receiving dock addition has been shown on the plans at this time. 2. Regarding screening of the roof top equipment, there will be some new equipment on the roof of the new freezer, however, this equipment will be installed in a fully enclosed penthouse. There will be no visible roof top equipment. The penthouse is shown on the building elevations included in the enclosed plan set. 3. Regarding impervious coverage, I have recalculated the site coverage, and the revised building and pavement areas are shown on revised drawing C-l. In my previous calculation I included existing pavement that will be removed. In fact, approximately 10,900 SF of building area will be constructed over top of existing pavement. Therefore, the 10,900 SF does not affect the "net" impervious coverage for the site. Also, my previous calculation did not exclude the parking islands from the impervious area size. While the new calculation reflects that the Pillsbury site is close to build-out (69.6% impervious coverage), I have verified that it is in fact beneath the 70% coverage threshold. 4. I have shown the dolly pads that Pillsbury previously installed in the southeast corner of the existing employee parking lot. Once the new parking lot is completed, the southeast corner of the existing parking lot will become available for tractor trailer staging. The employees that 2900 Hartley Road, Jacksonville, Florida 32257 • Telephone (904) 260-2900 • FAX (904) 260-2088 LETTER TO BOB GENEROUS CITY OF CHANHASSEN 9/19/95 PAGE 2 normally park in this area will be relocated to the new parking lot shown on drawing C-1. This new trailer staging area will provide a on-site location for tractor trailers that presently stage along Audubon Road. Traffic circulation thru the site is as follows: a) Trucks that are delivering product to the facility enter the site thru the driveway off of McGlynn Drive. These trucks proceed directly to the receiving docks, were they unload product. The same trucks exit the site to McGlynn Drive. b) Trucks that are receiving product from the facility will enter the site thru the southern driveway from Audubon Road. These trucks will stage in the new trailer staging area until such time as a dock door is available at the new shipping addition, at which time they will proceed from the trailer staging area to the shipping addition to receive a product load. Trucks leaving the shipping addition will exit through the southern driveway at Audubon Road. Employees enter and exit the site through either the McGlynn Drive or Audubon Road driveways. In general there is little or no truck traffic through the employee parking area. 5. After our telephone conversation yesterday, I telephoned Tom Skraba with Arteka. Tom will be revising the landscape plan for the project to include additional trees along the south side of the existing parking lot, as well as additional trees along the west side of the existing parking lot. Hopefully this revised landscape plan will satisfy the screening requirements in the southwest corner of the existing parking lot. If after your review of this revised landscape plan, additional screening is still required, I can arrange an on site meeting with Tom Skraba and Pillsbury to discuss the City's concerns, and hopefully develop a satisfactory solution. 6. I have included two sets of drainage calculations for the project, as you requested. Bob, thank you for all of your valued assistance to date on the project. Following your review of the enclosed plans, please do not hesitate to call me at 1-800-488-2900, if you have any additional questions or comments,or need any more information for your review.

Kirchman,Building Official AC `<'-, DATE: September 25, 1995 SUBJECT: 95-17 SPR(Pillsbury Bakeries expansion, The Stellar Group) I was asked to review the ammended site plans stamped "CITY OF CHANHASSEN, RECEIVED, SEP 15 1995, CHANHASSEN PLANNING DEPT. " for the above referenced project. Analysis: Handicap Parking. The Minnesota State Building Code (MSBC) chapter 1340 requires one handicap parking stall for each 50 parking spaces or fraction thereof. In this case, handicap parking spaces should be increased from ten spaces to twelve space in order to comply with the code. I will also note that while twelve spaces comply with the MSBC, the applicant will not be in compliance with the Americans with Disabilities Act(ADA)which is enforced through the courts rather than through the codes. Recommendation: 1. Revise sheet C-1 to show twelve handicap parking spaces complying with MSBC 1340. This should be done prior to final site plan approval. g:\safety\sak\memos'pl an\pi Ilsbry.doc ._,____...., 0__1 .....; CITY OF 0 , L,-,, CHANHASSEN : .,.,, t.,,.5,-r : ,,.... . .

The dispatcher will give you additional instructions. The Sheriff's office asks that you not call between 4:00PM and 6:00PM. The Uniform Fire Code ( 10.301a)requires that approved numbers be placed on all buildings. In accordance with City Policy # 29-1992 approved numbers must be a minimum of 12" high and of a contrasting color from the background.

We have gone through the staff report and everything that they've recommended and...try to make a pleasing project...Do you have any questions? Nutting: Any questions? I believe I erred when I opened the public hearing before the applicant spoke. Do we need to undo that Kate or can we just go forward? Aanenson: That's fine... Nutting: Okay. We do have a public hearing opened. Is there anybody in the audience who would wish to address the commission? Seeing none, do I have a motion to close the public hearing? 1 Planning Commission Meeting - September 6, 1995 Skubic moved, Meyer seconded to close the public healing. The public hewing was closed. Nutting: Comments from commissioners. Mike. Meyer: Nothing. Nutting: Bob. Skubic: It looks straight forward to me. I have no comments. Nutting: Jeff. Farmakes: On the issue of access...one more question of staff... Al-Jaff: This agreement is in place and has been executed. Therefore you don't find it as a condition of approval. Farmakes: Is there a reason why...signage plan at a later date or__.I don't see any signage at all on these plans. Al-Jaff: We have the guidelines for the monument sign and that sign is basically out there so they will just. Farmakes: They will add to it? Al-Jaff: Correct. Farmakes: Is that correct? Al-Jaff: And that's an existing sign that was approved with Abra and Goodyear's site plan. Farmakes: ...underneath? Al-Jaff: Correct. It was designed for three spots and right now there's one sign for Abra, one sign for Goodyear so when the Chanhassen Car Wash goes in, they will get that on there. They will be able also to do a wall sign and that sign will have to fall within the guidelines for the BH district. Farmakes: Are we no longer seeing this type of thing included on the architectural drawing, how the signs are placed on the building? Just to have an idea how it interplays. 2 Planning Commission Meeting - September 6, 1995 Al-Jaff: Yes we do. Dale Saunders: It was our intention to submit to the signage permit prior to getting the building permit...rather than permitting something that's wrong. Nutting: Kate, do you have guidelines in terms of what. Aanenson: I guess what I would say is, if you have specific concern or wanted to give us specific direction, I guess the staff would look at it, as long as they stay within that 15% and individual letters, as we modified in the new sign ordinance, we'd be comfortable with that. If you had specific directions or wanted to add a condition on that based on the fact on the use, if you wanted to give them some direction, an added condition, that'd be fine. Farmakes: Okay. They're submitted those as a plan however to the staff, are they not? They still apply for a permit for the signage and then it's reviewed, correct? Al-Jaff: Correct. Aanenson: But if you wanted to give them direction that may add in timeliness as far as when they come back, if you have specific criteria you want them to look at. Farmakes: Our preference is always to see it on the scaled drawing but. Aanenson: Correct, and when they come back they'll have to do that. What I'm saying is if you want to give them beyond that, even more direction about colors or that sort of thing, or an approximate location. Farmakes: I can be patient. Nutting: Ladd, you just walked in. Is there any comments you care to make on this? Conrad: No. It looks real clean to me. I'm just curious. It's totally on a side. It really has nothing to do with the staff report but how is water recycled? What facilities or how do you utilize water effectively for a car wash? Applicant: Basically at this point there is no recycling system... There are recycling systems available but they tend to have a lot of problems with them and you've got to add a lot of chemicals to them. And eventually that all has to go down anyway because you can't keep re-using water and re-using it. Just like...you eventually have to get rid of it. Car washes that do recycling, they do it for a cost... Basically it smells bad when you get your car 3 Planning Commission Meeting - September 6, 1995 washed. They really haven't come up with a clean system yet for recycling so, it basically just goes down the drain, most of it. Conrad: So Dave, what they end up doing is end up paying a big water bill? Applicant: Exactly. Nutting: Okay. Sharmin? Al-Jaff: Condition number 2, on page 7 deals with the signage. We have requested that the applicant submit detailed sign plans for staffs review prior to City Council meeting. Aanenson: So Jeff if you want to see that, we should amend that condition that it should come back to the Planning Commission. Al-Jaff: Unless you trust staffs decision. I mean if it was completely out of the norm of signage that is physically proposed, then we can bring it before you. Nutting: In theory there were a lot more issues prior to the sign ordinance and perhaps there are fewer issues with it now. Farmakes: I guess the reason I hesitate to ask that is it seems to me that's part of the architectural review but I can see a case for that but the ordinance is in place. In this particular building, perhaps since the signage is already out there and as far as the pylon goes the monument, it's probably not an issue. However, in the future I'd certainly like to see that integrated with the building itself. Also too, just to establish whether or not the ordinance is working. Nutting: Is that it? Okay. I have no further comments on this issue. May I have a motion. Skubic: I'll make a motion that the Planning Commission recommend approval of Site Plan Review #95-12 as shown on the site plan dated and received August 8, 1995 and subject to the conditions 1 through 12 as established by the staff. Nutting: Is there a second? Meyer: I'll second that. Nutting: All those in favor. Or excuse me, it's been moved and seconded. Is there any discussion? 4 Planning Commission Meeting - September 6, 1995 Skubic moved, Meyer seconded that the Planning Commission recommend approval of Site Plan Review #95-12 as shown on the site plan dated "Received August 8, 1995", and subject to the following conditions: 1. The applicant shall provide alternate mix of evergreen species in the landscaping plan, no more than 1/3 of the trees may be from any one species. The applicant shall also provide staff with a detailed cost estimate to be used in calculating the required financial guarantees. These guarantees must be posted prior to building permit issuance. 2. The applicant must obtain a sign permit prior to erecting any signage on site. Provide a detailed sign plan for staff review prior to the City Council meeting. The car wash shall utilize the existing monument sign facing Highway 5. 3. The applicant shall enter into a site plan contract with the city and provide the necessary financial securities as required. 4. Meet all conditions outlined in the Fire Marshal Memo. 5. Concurrent with the building permit, a lighting plan meeting city standards shall be submitted. 6. No parking or stacking is allowed in fire lanes, drive aisles, access drives or public rights-of-way. 7. Reduce the car wash exit driveway width from 36 feet down to 24 feet and consider removing one of the stacking lanes or bypass lane. 8. The applicant shall enter into an encroachment agreement with the city for constructing a driveway and landscaping over the City's drainage and utilities easement prior to issuance of a building permit. 9. The areas proposed to be stabilized with erosion control blanket shall be sodded instead. 10. Construction access to the site shall be limited to the existing driveway/street and not Lake Drive East. A rock filter construction entrance shall be used and maintained until the driveways have been paved with a bituminous surface. 11. The applicant shall be responsible for adjusting and cleaning all existing utilities that are impacted or disturbed in conjunction with this site construction. The applicant shall 5 Planning Commission Meeting - September 6, 1995 perform an inspection of the existing utility lines on site to ensure that they are clean and operational prior to commencing the site work. 12. Park and trail fees will be paid at time of building permit application. All voted in favor and the motion carried unanimously. Vernelle Clayton: It was just interesting to me that you made a bit of history tonight. This is the last piece of the...development which is all of Chan Estates and all the way up to... The very last piece is the only piece were we haven't had objections from the neighbors. Objections were raised everywhere from conversations... PUBLIC HEARING: CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT FOR MULTIPLE BUILDINGS (2) ON THE SAME LOT AND SITE PLAN APPROVAL FOR A 1,255 SO. FT. DRIVE THROUGH CAR WASH ON PROPERTY ZONED BH, GENERAL BUSINESS DISTRICT AND LOCATED AT 335 WEST 79TH STREET (WEST 79TH STREET AND GREAT PLAINS BLVD.), GARY BROWN. Bob Generous presented the staff report on this item. Nutting: Does the applicant or their designee wish to address the commission? Gary Brown: No, I don't have any problem with it. I don't have any problem with what they said. Nutting: Okay. This is a public hearing. May I have a motion to open the public hearing. Conrad moved, Meyer seconded to open the public healing. The public healing was opened. Nutting: Is there anybody who'd wish to address the Planning Commission? Seeing none, may I have a motion to close the public hearing. Conrad moved, Meyer seconded to close the public hewing. The public hewing was closed. Nutting: Comments. Jeff. Farmakes: I'm abstaining on this issue. 6 Planning Commission Meeting - September 6, 1995 Nutting: Okay. For? Conrad: You don't wash cars? Farmakes: My daughter works here. Nutting: Okay. Mike. Meyer: No, it looks pretty straight forward. I don't have any concerns. Nutting: Okay. Ladd. Conrad: What are the odds that we get two car washes on the same night? Gary, you're late. Why didn't you come in here a year ago and get a jump on the competition. Gary Brown: I should have been in a year ago, you're right. Had I know Chanhassen was going to blow up the way it has... Conrad: Yeah, I have no comments. It looks good. Staff report is good. Product's good. My comment would be the same as before. Recycling water, when water's plentiful, that's great. When it's not, it's a problem. Gary Brown: I figure you'd be happy to know is that the new machine that we're going to buy is the most water conscience machine made. A lot of it's done by pressure. In other words, you have rotating wands. You're pumping about as much air up there as you are water and they agitate now. Instead of the old style, even like the one I have in the Amoco now. It takes about 50-55 gallons a car. The one's like the Wave will be able to do a couple hundred gallons. This one here will be down to about 30 gallons so for a change they've gone in the right direction. Instead of using more, they've done a lot more good with less water. Which makes nice reading because I really hate writing those checks out for two grand every month. Conrad: The reason, just so I can understand the conditional use permit. You can put two buildings on one lot in this zone through a conditional use permit provided there's one owner? What's the, what is the rationale? Could there two owners of the two buildings? Generous: Conceivably. One owner of the property and... This is from our standpoint it's a zoning. Even though it was shown as two parcels. Because neither of them by themselves meet the minimum requirements of the district. So we consider it one lot. And then the conditional use is just the way the Code is written. I don't always understand that. It permits 7 Planning Commission Meeting - September 6, 1995 it for residential districts so that you can have a detached garage or a shed or something on your lot as in some of the agricultural districts. So you could have...all buildings but for commercial, you have to go through this process just to put that second building. Conrad: So we don't know what we're looking for here? Aanenson: Well I think as Bob indicated, it's more a property owner should be the underlying owner. Then you may lease two sites but you still want to have control under one ownership where it may not meet the integrity of the whole district. And lots of times, as in Market Square, you have out buildings but you still have one underlying development. And they may have common parking. Share an agreement so individually they might not meet the standards but holistically, and so somebody doesn't try to split one off where the integrity of the whole, or all the standards aren't there. So that's why we attach conditions to make sure that they don't break off or whatever. Conrad: No more questions. Nutting: Bob. Skubic: No comments. Nutting: Okay. I have no comments either. These two are both pretty straight forward. May I have a motion? Meyer: I'll make a motion. I'll make a motion that the Planning Commission recommend that the City Council approve Conditional Use Permit #95-3 to allow two principal buildings on one lot and Site Plan #95-13, prepared by Peter Curtis Architect dated June 28, 1995, and site plan prepared by William R. Engelhardt Associates dated August, 1995 and stamped received August 25, 1995, for a 1,255 square foot drive through car wash on property zoned Highway Business District, subject to conditions 1 through 8. Conrad: And I second that. Nutting: Motion's been made and seconded. Is there any discussion? Meyer moved, Conrad seconded that the Planning Commission recommend that the City Council approve Conditional Use Permit #95-3 to allow two principal buildings on one lot and Site Plan #95-13, prepared by Peter Curtis Architect dated June 28, 1995, and site plan prepared by William It Engelhardt Associates dated August, 1995 and stamped received 8 Planning Commission Meeting - September 6, 1995 August 25, 1995, for a 1,255 squai+e foot drive through car wash on property zoned Highway Business District, subject to following conditions: 1. Erosion control fence shall be installed prior to any site grading along the southerly property line and maintained until all disturbed areas have been revegetated or paved. 2. The drive aisles shall be increased to 16 feet wide face to face and another drive aisle shall be looped back to the east and north to West 79th Street to improve traffic circulation. The applicant shall install "Do Not Enter" signs at the looped drive (northeast) entrance and to prohibit westbound traffic south of the proposed car wash. 3. The applicant shall utilize the existing 6 inch water lead from West 79th Street versus tapping the existing 8 inch water main in West 79th Street. 4. The applicant shall be responsible for relocation of any landscaping materials along West 79th Street in conflict with the site improvements. 5. The applicant shall apply for separate sign permits for any signage on site except for traffic circulation sign. Signage shall comply with the city's sign ordinance. 6. The applicant shall use alternate building elevations, sheet A2 Alternate, prepared by Peter Curtis, stamped Received Aug 25, 1995. 7. Two of the red maples shall be relocated to the western side of the property. 8. The developer shall enter into a site development contract with the City and provide the necessary financial security to guarantee compliance with the terms of approval. All voted in favor, except Jeff Farmal es who abstained, and the motion carried. 9 Planning Commission Meeting - September 6, 1995 PUBLIC HEARING: CONCEPTUAL AND PRELIMINARY PUD REZONING THE PROPERTY FROM A2, AGRICULTURAL ESTATE TO PUD, PLANNED UNIT DEVELOPMENT; PRELIMINARY PLAT APPROVAL FOR 94 LOTS AND ONE OUTLOT; SITE PLAN APPROVAL FOR 2 FOUR UNIT STRUCTURES, 1 SIX UNIT STRUCTURE AND 10 EIGHT UNIT STRUCTURES ON 12.34 ACRES LOCATED AT THE SOUTHWEST CORNER OF GALPIN BLVD. AND HIGHWAY 5, SCENIC ENTERPRISES, INC., AUTUMN RIDGE 2ND ADDITION. Bob Generous presented the staff report on this item. Nutting: Any questions for staff? Meyer: I've got one Bob...from Highway 5 that... Generous: It's not, well...so we'd have views through the property rather than into, their plan has basically the entrance, driveways facing the outside of the development and we think that by changing that orientation, the orientation of the buildings, we get the garage doors and most of the ends of...different view. Also reducing the grading...2 foot elevation...reduce the grading on the west end. Also...single loaded units on the west side, you not only get a more desirable... Conrad: What are single loaded units? Generous: There's one entrance. So you drive in and. Aanenson: Instead of the back to back units. Generous: Yeah. The back to back, doubled loaded and single loaded... Skubic: Say Bob, what kind of issues were there in the previous proposal? Generous: One was the orientation. It's something that looks like, for lack of a better terms, a barracks set-up that they... There were grading issues that were involved there also... Nutting: Any guesstimates as to the number of units they would maintain with alternate grading? 10 Planning Commission Meeting - September 6, 1995 Generous: We believe, this plan maintains the 94 units. There are some, what we did is basically cut their plans out and just shifted them around on site. We elongated the single loaded units. Nutting: Any further questions of staff? This is a public hearing. Or excuse me, does the applicant or their designee wish to address the commission? Seeing no one, can I have a motion to open the public hearing? Conrad moved, Meyer seconded to open the public healing. The public healing was opened. Nutting: Does anybody care to address the Commission? Seeing none, may I have a motion to close the public hearing? Conrad moved, Meyer seconded to close the public heating. The public heating was closed. Nutting: Comments from commissioners, and I guess Kate, is the applicant here tonight? Generous: I haven't seen him. He was aware, we had told them before that we were tabling - it. We were recommending that this item be tabled and his response was, well we're not going to be able to get into... Nutting: So basically if members of the commission have input as to. Aanenson: Right, that's why we kept it on the agenda. We did notice it for public hearing. It's a good opportunity to let other people give comments and give direction along as it's tabled and then also for review, if you have specific guidance for the developer that we can... Nutting: Jeff? Farmakes: ...recommendations in the report... Generous: Right. We're recommending tabling it so that they can come back. Farmakes: Right, I understand that. You have a list of reasons for the recommendations and you do cover on page 6 the issue...went over that with Lundgren on the issue...decide to get closer to the highway... Nutting: If that's not in the conditions, similar to that condition you had on the car wash project, there's certainly, it's an obvious but maybe it's not so obvious. Is that it? 11 Planning Commission Meeting - September 6, 1995 Farmakes: Yeah, that's my comments. Nutting: Bob. Skubic: I see that staff is directing the applicant towards a little more diversity and a little more contrast in his units through re-arranging the site a little bit and I think in here it says they will be using different window treatments and colors. Is there anything else that can be done to, along these lines? What are the options and tools that can be used? Aanenson: Well I think the one thing in this project is there's a mix of different types of units. That's one thing. I think that's one of the reasons why we want it oriented the other way because the way they had it before, all the garage pours on that side faced the highway so when you drove by you saw, and as Bob indicated with the change in grading, we felt that that gave a break between the buildings. Plus the change in elevation. Landscaping. Helped soften some of that. Again it kind of comes into a cost, we try to have some variation in colors. Subtle changes and still stay within...some uniformity affects cost. But I think having them draw the different types of the number of units on the building, there's a range in there. On the single loaded and that helps break up those too. Generous: Plus with the grading you also get the step down and the building peak so you will...to see that and that will provide some interest also. Skubic: Thank you. Nutting: Ladd. Conrad: I think staffs direction is real good. It's excellent for a medium density. I think you're doing exactly what we want you to do. I'm real distressed that the applicant isn't here. That tells me something and it's sure not winning and points to be here tonight. He or she should be here tonight. It doesn't count. They should be listening to us tonight and be here so I'm, it's like this hasn't appeared on my desk yet. Nutting: Mike. Meyer: Nothing additional, no. Nutting: Okay. I would also concur with staffs direction. I guess the issue of the grading has come up before. Is the reason we're running into not able to resolve that issue, I mean has anybody looked at the cost issues? Mass grading versus the refined approach, with staff. I mean are we talking, is it an issue where we've suddenly told the developer, you know we 12 Planning Commission Meeting - September 6, 1995 prefer you do it this way and the developer's looking and saying, you know that adds another $50,000.00 to my project cost. I mean that number's a bit high, I realize but I know we've gone through the issue on the grading before so I'm just curious if there's something more serious at play or just maybe an unclear ability to work with staff? I don't know. Hempel: Maybe I can address that. This applicant is the same applicant that's done Autumn Ridge 1st, who received final plat approval recently and also received notice to proceed with site grading on their first phase, which they have not started yet either. So I believe the construction season as it gets shorter every day, maybe the applicant is just not intending to proceed yet this fall and wants to think about it over the winter months further. Staff's direction though with redesigning the placement of the units should only save the applicant money in the long run with regards to. Nutting: That's my assumption also but it's. Hempel: Earth work to move and there's also a balancing act of material on the site though too that has to be looked at in greater detail. It's looking at a flat piece of paper. Placing the units on it but we felt pretty confident that in the long run that it will reduce the grading. Nutting: Okay. I think it's good. Good idea. Okay. May I have a motion? Farmakes: I make a motion that the staff recommends the Planning Commission table this item to permit the applicant the opportunity to address the following comments and revise the plans as appropriate, 1 through 33 with the addition of the signage...by staff. The plans that are...date here are September 6, 1995 and the staff report. Nutting: Is there a second? Meyer: I'll second that. Nutting: It's been moved and seconded. Is there any further discussion? Farmakes moved, Meyer seconded that the Planning Commission table action on Autumn Ridge 2nd Addition to permit the applicant the opportunity to address the following comments and revise the plans as appropriate: 1. A ten foot clear space must be maintained around fire hydrants, i.e. street lamps, trees, shrubs, bushes, NSP, NW Bell, cable television, transformer boxes.

Sharmin Al-Jaff presented the staff report on this item. Nutting: Any questions for staff? Does the applicant or their designee wish to present for the commission? 17 Planning Commission Meeting - September 6, 1995 Applicant ...just want to point out is...away from the typical rectangle and squares around here to get this thing, to break it up and give it a little more character... Everything we worked at and gone through... Nutting: Good. Conrad: What does your company do? Applicant: This is it. Commercial development... Skubic: Are you the tenant? Applicant: No. Skubic: What does your company do? Conrad: What does your company do? Control Products Representative: Our company, we design and manufacture electronic controls. Electronic temperature indicators. We ship internationally. We...Burger King, McDonalds, if you look at their...fryers, the freezers, refrigerators, chances are our company has manufactured that temperature indicator. Either the indicator or the control. It's a very high tech business. We have a lot of designers. It's a very clean business. We use a lot of robots or robotics equipment or what's referred to as circuit...technology. I'll say it's the latest and greatest technology to use for electronic assembly. So that's kind of what we do. It's a very clean, high tech business. Conrad: Where are you located today? Control Products Representative: Right now we're located on Cahill in Edina, Minnesota. Right by Bush Lake and 494. Conrad: What directed you out here? Control Products Representative: Well, a long process. You know most of our employees live in Hopkins, South Minneapolis area. Some of them live out here in Chaska, Chanhassen. We certainly do not want to get too far away from Edina because of the fear of losing some key employees. And myself and my brother and his partner, we're the two principal owners of the business. The three of us live somewhere around here so it looks just like a fantastic community. We're real excited about the business center. It's a good business park and we 18 Planning Commission Meeting - September 6, 1995 do a lot of business locally with a lot of the contracts, companies here in town so we need to be visible. We need to the building itself needs to be a good looking, I'll say a high tech looking building and we have customers visiting from out of the country. We have visitors from out of state. We want to be close to the International Airport. This should just be a good location. We've been located for the last several years in Edina. Most of our locations have been in Edina. Once we were in downtown Minneapolis. But for the most part we've always been in the southwest suburbs. Nutting: Thank you. This is a public hearing. May I have a motion to open the public hearing? Meyer moved, Conrad seconded to open the public heating. The public heating was opened. Nutting: Does anybody wish to address the commission? Seeing none, may I have a motion to close the public hearing. Conrad moved, Meyer seconded to close the public heating. The public heating was closed. Nutting: Discussion from commissioners. Mike. Meyer: I don't have any additional comments. It looks like what staff has put forward is... Nutting: Ladd. Conrad: Yeah, I have no comments. Looks fine to me. Nutting: Bob. Skubic: No comments. Nutting: Jeff. Farmakes: It's nice to see a warehouse building coming in with detailings and shape to it other than just a flat box. These are really things that don't add tremendous to the cost of the building but what will do percentage wise, but do really kind of reflect I think. I don't think warehouses are any different than any other place. You get nice buildings around which perpetuates more nice buildings. And I'm glad to see that. Actually tonight I'm glad to see that some of the things that we've been working on, some of the things are going pretty smoothly when we have applicants who are applying under those conditions. And when they apply in good spirit, it seems to work out well. End of speech. 19 Planning Commission Meeting - September 6, 1995 Nutting: I have nothing further to add other than I also appreciate, I think the quality and the appearance of the facility. I think it's going to be a nice finished product. Okay. May I have a motion? Skubic: I'll make a motion that the Planning Commission recommend approval of Site Plan #95-16 for Control Products, plans dated Received August 21, 1995 and subject to the conditions 1 through 18 as outlined by staff.

PUBLIC HEARING: AN AMENDMENT TO THE CITY CODE REGARDING LIMITED PAWNBROKERS AS A PERMITTED USE IN THE BF, BUSINESS FRINGE, BG, GENERAL BUSINESS AND THE BH, HIGHWAY BUSINESS DISTRICTS. Kate Aanenson presented the staff report on this item. Nutting: Any questions for staff? Conrad: And the reason you recommended those districts was because it had highway exposure. Well, what is your rationale Kate? Aanenson: Well actually they all do. If you look at the industrial office park, a lot of that also has highway exposure. There cannot be outdoor storage. I guess we looked at commercial districts. We looked at where cars would be permitted right now in the business fringe district. You can do boat sales. So these are consistent with what districts are permitted right now. It's like, we want kind of to use that as a rationale. We did consider the office institutional district and also the industrial office park. But really this is something that just needs a small space and we felt that because they're already listed as, they have to go through the permitting process, which the City Council would review as a part of this ordinance. I felt that that was pretty stringent. If you made a conditional use of some of those districts, then we're back reviewing all those things that really aren't pertinent to land use issues. If it's an office, if it's something we need to review every time. There's no architectural sort of things. I don't think we want to be burdened with that sort of thing so leaving it permitted in this district is consistent with what's kind of in place right now. 23 Planning Commission Meeting - September 6, 1995 Certainly I think we had discussed other districts. I think that may be a possibility. Industrial office park. If someone has a space and wants to lease from somewhere I'm sure. Conrad: But we're saying inside, right? Aanenson: Right. There's no outdoor, correct. And that's the way this is written. They could apply for a specific off site somewhere. They'd have to work that through the Council and certainly I think the Council would go through the criteria of which we have already in place in the code which addresses outdoor storage and screening and that sort of thing. But the way it's intended. Conrad: Where do we allow car sales? Aanenson: Right now we allow it in the BG district and the business fringe district. That may be in the business highway too. Conrad: Wouldn't it be the same? Aanenson: Yeah, it would be conditional in the business highway too. But they can't have outdoor storage. It's really an office type so I really thought it was kind of a moot as long as they're not storing. Nutting: Is the assumption that the storage would be at that location or it could certainly be in an off site? Aanenson: It could be leasing space somewhere else. Nutting: Or it could be in that location though also, just inside? Aanenson: I guess you could put something inside, sure. Farmakes: But that's the point. In that type of business, doesn't it kill it if it can't be outdoors? I mean I don't know... Aanenson: Well the indication we got from the applicant, it's my understanding when it went to City Council, if you read through the Minutes, is that that wasn't a requirement of their needs so. Farmakes: No, but I meant in general terms when we were talking about car dealerships or car sales. That essentially is the handle of that stuff. But I'm assuming if these boats, this is 24 Planning Commission Meeting - September 6, 1995 an existing business elsewhere is it not? Do they have a typical square footage in what they're anticipating in regards to what they're looking for? Aanenson: No, I'm not aware of that. Nutting: I think it's probably difficult to go through the different permeatations of what it could be. I guess maybe the issues, where is it appropriate. And you have to assume that it could be on site. They could build a structure and have it on site so. But can I just ask you to repeat the answer to Ladd's question in terms of car sales are, what is the current ordinance on that? In terms of where they're allowed. Aanenson: Business fringe, general business. Conrad: General business and highway business. I thought you said the same thing? Nutting: So it's all three? Conrad: That's real consistent you know on whether, as long as it's consistent. Nutting: Yeah, that was really my comment. As long as we're consistent with that. Aanenson: And again the intent is not to have a series of cars stored out somewhere. That's not what we intend to do. But that's the way the ordinance, the city attorney had proposed to City Council. Farmakes: But it covers the same thing. The only difference essentially is that you're taking in cars in return for a loan. Versus selling. Aanenson: And then it would go somewhere else, correct. You take your car and then it would go somewhere else. That's the intent. My understanding. Farmakes: And a boat they hold them, not outdoors, or at least as it currently says. Aanenson: They would hold all of these somewhere else, right. Conrad: If we allow it, it should be exactly the same as an auto dealership with rules and regulations. 25 Planning Commission Meeting - September 6, 1995 Nutting: This is a public hearing. Or I guess, is the applicant or their designee in attendance? Okay. We do have a public hearing. May I have a motion to open the public hearing? Conrad moved, Meyer seconded to open the public hewing. The public heating was opened. Nutting: Anybody wish to speak before the commission on this item? Conrad moved, Meyer seconded to close the public hewing. The public heating was closed. Nutting: Any comments from commissioners? Jeff. Farmakes: As a commissioner I'm not going to, I agree with Ladd... The type of business I'm personally I'm not crazy about. I don't think that that's relevant. Nutting: Bob. Skubic: I agree with the way that staff is going with this and what Ladd has stated and I have no further comments. Conrad: Nothing else Ron. Nutting: Alright. May I have a motion? Meyer: I'll make a motion. That the Planning Commission recommends, subject to the City Council approving the limited pawnbrokers ordinance, limited pawnbroker use be a permitted use in the following districts, BF, Fringe Business District, BG, General Business District, and BH, Highway Business District. Nutting: Is there a second? Skubic: Second. Nutting: Any further discussion? Conrad: Well yeah. The way the motion is worded, I guess I'm okay. Subject to the City Council approving the limited pawnbroker ordinance, huh. Yeah, I think it's worded okay. Like Jeff s saying, we're not advocates of this. We haven't examined it. Staff I think has set the stage. If it is allowed, these are the districts. That's all we're making a motion on. We have done nothing else than saying those are the districts and confirming staffs direction. 26 Planning Commission Meeting - September 6, 1995 Meyer moved, Conrad seconded that the Planning Commission recommends, subject to the City Council approving the limited pawnbroker ordinance, limited pawnbroker use be a permitted use in the following districts: BF, Fringe Business District BG, General Business District BH, Highway Business District All voted in favor and the motion carried. Nutting: And this will go to City Council? Aanenson: It hasn't been scheduled yet because really we're not championing this cause so I'll probably put it back to Public Safety to kind of carry it through to the Council, so we just needed the input from the commission. Nutting: That's the last of our public hearings. Five in less than an hour. Anybody? Conrad: I think that's just terrific. APPROVAL OF MINUTES: Conrad moved to note the Minutes of the Planning Commission meeting dated August 16, 1995. CITY COUNCIL UPDATE: Aanenson: Thank you. On August 28th the City Council took the following action. They approved the final plat for Lotus Lake Woods, which is right up on Frontier Trail here. Seven single family lots. That was approved by you a couple of years ago. They were given an extension so that one should be underway, and just for your information, the property across the street probably will be developing shortly too. Conrad: Yeah, where is that? Aanenson: It's when you take the bend, they had the house that they had to move off the site on Frontier Trail. If you know where the beachlot is, or the association across the street on Lotus Lake. Right there. Councilman Berquist: Across from Brad Johnson's house. Conrad: Sure. 27 Planning Commission Meeting - September 6, 1995 Aanenson: They approved the preliminary plat for the Hiscox Addition. The three single family lots. Again they're trying to get clarification on some title issues there and also the Shamrock Ridge was given an extension. That's the Ryan property there next to Brendon Pond off of Galpin, just south of Nancy Mancino's property. They approved the interim use permit for the filling and stabilization of the Bluff Creek Golf Course. Just as an update on that. I believe they have paved the road now too Dave. Is that correct? Hempel: They have started hauling as well. Aanenson: So that was a concern of the neighbors, the dust so before it went to Council, that was a good thing that did happen on it. They did pave that road so that was a positive. And they approved the site plan for the Highland Development office, which is in the same business park that you just looked at tonight. The Chan Business Center. And they also approved the subdivision and site plan and conditional use for the Children's World Daycare center in McGlynn Park. And I just included a couple other things in your packet just for FYI. Jill put together a letter on tree preservation, just kind of where we're at. This tree preservation. The different approaches we've taken. The problems and where we're going. So I just think it's kind of a good measure of some of the issues that are out there. We spent a lot of time tweaking these projects to get the trees and then once we do that and get the condition, it is a management thing where we spend a lot of time, or Jill does, making sure that we're upholding these conditions. So it's kind of her comments on where we are with those issues and kind of following up on that, I just put in an article. Maybe some of you saw it in the Star Tribune about another city that was going to pass a tree ordinance and somebody jumped on the gun and cut down trees. And then another issue that I'll be discussing with the City Council on Monday night is affordable housing. The Livable Communities Act and what the city, how the city will be responding to that. We've got our information as far as where we need to be. They set benchmarks for each community based on the sector that you're in and requesting that communities sign up and agree to meet these goals. You don't have to do that but then if you want to ask for MUSA expansion or money, it'd certainly be reviewed in where you are with your housing goals so it really kind of becomes a comprehensive plan amendment so you're kind of amending your housing goals so we'll be talking to the Council about that and getting some direction and see if we need to come back through this process and what changes they want to see. So I'll give you more information on that too. Nutting: Okay. It looks to me like we will be going off camera into open discussion. Conrad moved, Sk-ubic seconded to adjourn the public portion of the Planning Commission meeting. All voted in favor and the motion carried. The public portion of the meeting was 28 Planning Commission Meeting - September 6, 1995 adjourned at 8:10 p.m. Open Discussion on the Gateway Village Development and Planning Commission Goals for 1996 was held at this point.

The Planning Commission directed staff to prepare an outline of how this issue should be addressed. Originally I envisioned doing an economic development study on this piece of property and met with Rusty Fifield of Ehlers and Associates, who are public finance experts in proposing fiscal impact analysis. I think we could have clearly demonstrated the fiscal impacts as far as what the cost and benefits of residential and industrial development. In discussing this with Mr. Fifield and later reviewing our discussions, I felt that this would be an exercise in voodoo economics and everybody would be mesmerized by the numbers. I think we are more comfortable looking at the comprehensive land use change from a numbers issues and base any change on a strictly economic impact. I feel a more appropriate way to look at this zone change request is to go back to the comprehensive plan and look at our vision for this community. Do we want to have a mixed community as far as different types of land uses? Do we want to have all $300,000 homes or a variety and life cycle houses? Do we want to have variety of commercial use all over the city or a downtown center? Do we want to have a variety of industrial locations that provide a local employment base? It really is a visioning issue not strictly an economic issue. Of course these decisions have an economic impact, but I believe this can be done on a broader scale than a site specific analysis. I would like to propose to the Planning Commission is to go back and review the vision we have for the community and do an analysis based on that. If we do want to see this site as industrial as Mr. Dahlgren has pointed out, there are constraining factors that prohibit it from being industrial, then we need to examine those issues and decide if the city is willing to compromise or mitigate some of those issues and enabling this to become industrial. If we are not willing to do that then Gateway West - Rottlund Homes September 27, 1995 Page 2 we need to examine what other appropriate uses should be for this property. I think the first step is to do a visioning process. I know it is more abstract and it may be less comfortable to make a decision on but I believe the appropriate decision process would be following our comprehensive plan and saying what is the vision for this community. Do our goals for this property as far as development match the guide plans given to it. This may mean that we have to provide a consultant to examine the land use and what the impacts would be for any land use. It may mean some site analysis, what are the development impacts including wetlands, grading, and road access. Please take some time and review the city comprehensive plan goals and polices. Attached is the previous staff report and staff recommendation. ATTACHMENTS 1. Staff report dated August 30, 1995. 2.

BOX 147 • CHANHASSEN, MINNESOTA 55317 (612) 937-1900 • FAX (612) 937-5739 MEMORANDUM TO: Planning Commission FROM Kate Aanenson, AICP, Planning Director DATE: August 30, 1995 SUBJ: Gateway Villages - Southwest Corner of Highway 5 and 41 Discussion Item BACKGROUND Rottlund Homes is proposing to develop a mixed use development on the subject site which contains approximately 140 acres. This property is zoned A-2, Agriculture Estate, and is guided office/industrial. The plan proposes 4 housing clusters focusing around a Village Square that connects neighborhood shops by way of a pedestrian parkway. The plan as proposed would require a comprehensive plan change as well as a rezoning. The applicants would like to discuss their proposal with the Planning Commission. This property was given conceptual approval for an industrial park in 1992. Since that time, the owner has stated that the industrial park use was dropped based on the fact that the restriction put on the development made it no longer feasible. These restrictions include: limiting access on Highway 5 to right-in/right-out only, limits to the amount of grading and park dedication. The owner has opted to seek other development potential. Rottlund Homes is requesting consideration of their proposal. ANALYSIS While this is a discussion item, staff has done a cursory review of the proposal and have identified the following as possible framework for discussion. 1. 2000 Land Use Designation This property was given an IOP designation at the time of the 1990 Comprehensive Plan update. At that time, the applicants requested the IOP district zoning. As staff has indicated • Illm --- ..- MAN7F/ELD . •,CIES! 74-� ��. ^.

The is one of the largest potential IOP districts left in the city. There is not another site to relocate 140 acres of IOP zoning. To date, there is approximately 350 acres of vacant industrial lands available. The proposed amendment would eliminate 40 percent of vacant industrial zoned property in the city. This area would be impossible to replace inside the current MUSA. Staff is concerned that a reduction in the city's industrial land use is not in the best interest of the community in terms of maintaining an appropriate balance of land uses, preserving an appropriate tax base mix, or providing a range of employment opportunities. 2. Collector Road Location In accordance to the City's Comprehensive Plan and Municipal State Aid system, a collector- type street system has been designated through this parcel to provide a level of service to facilitate the transportation needs of the area under full development. Based on the plans submitted, the meandering street system does not adequately address transportation needs the City has designated in this area. The street system should be more conducive to provide a frontage road street scenario than as proposed. Staff does not believe the proposed alignment of the frontage road will adequately serve the needs of the community for a collector-type street system. 3. Commercial Zoning on the Property The city has recently adopted the Highway 5 Corridor Study. This document reinforces the goal identified in the comprehensive plan regarding commercial development. The Comprehensive plan states: "The city has maintained a long standard policy of directing commercial development into the Central Business District. Chanhassen is rather unique among suburban communities in that it has historically had and maintained an active downtown business community. In recent years, there has been substantial public and private investment in furthering development in this area and there is no desire on the part of the City to see that effort diminished by the construction of commercial centers oriented to highways outside the business district. Consequently, it is anticipated that the overwhelming majority of new commercial development will occur in and around the Central Business District, primarily north along Highway 5 but also in a newly developed area south of Highway 5 located along relocated Hwy. 101." This goal was strengthened with the adoption of the Highway 5 Study. There was a request for commercial zoning on the northeast corner of the intersection of Hwy. 5 and 41. The Land Use designation for commercial was eliminated as a possibility. The reasons that it was Gateway Villages August 30, 1995 Page 3 not appropriate on that corner are the same reasons it would not be appropriate on this site.. In addition, when this property was given conceptual review in 1992 it was specifically stated by the city council and the planning commission that the corner shall have any commercial retail. Support commercial retail was considered as a part of the 1992 conceptual approval but that was subject to the ordinance that allows up to 25 percent support commercial as a part of an industrial park. This was given conceptual approval when this site had approximately 1,000,000 square feet of building. The 11 acres of commercial zoning in the southeast corner compares in size to 13.11 acres for the West Village Center (Byerly's) and 10.29 acres for the Target site and 3.00 acres for the 3 outlots. The commercial proposals are inconsistent with the comprehensive plan. 4. Preservation of Natural Features It appears that the plan proposes to preserve the significant ridge line. It is difficult, based on this conceptual plan, to state how this proposal will impact the land form. It is difficult to state with this level of detail that this plan is saving more of the natural features of the area. 5. Benefits of a PUD Designation The question that staff is asking the Planning Commission to consider is what is the city getting for changing this designation from IOP to PUD and commercial? Is this proposal providing a market niche that is not provided in the city? Currently, there are vacant areas of medium and residential zoning in the city. Is the commercial designation desired at this location? If this area is reguided where will the IOP be redesignated? Staff believes that there is no where else to replace this 140 acres of IOP. The Zoning Ordinance directs the Planning Commission to consider six (6) possible adverse affects of the proposed amendment. The six (6) affects and our findings regarding them are: a) The proposed action has been considered in relation to the specific policies and provisions of and has been found to be consistent with the official City Comprehensive Plan. b) The proposed use is or will be compatible with the present and future land uses of the area. c) The proposed use conforms with all performance standards contained in the Zoning Ordinance. d) The proposed use will not tend to or actually depreciate the area in which it is proposed. Gateway Villages August 30, 1995 Page 4 e) The proposed use can be accommodated with existing public services and will not overburden the city's service capacity. f) Traffic generation by the proposed use is within capabilities of streets serving the property. 2000 Land Use Plan The property is guided for office/industrial land use. The proposed development is inconsistent with this designation. Land Use Goal Achieve a mixture of development which will assure a high quality of life and a reliable tax base. Policies Recognizing that some uses pay their way in terms of the property taxes they generate and some uses do not. Chanhassen will strive for a mixture of development which will assure its financial well being. Planned industrial development will be encouraged as a means of encouraging tax base growth and creating new employment opportunities.

August 12, 1995 City of Chanhassen Chanhassen, MN RE: Gateway Village Development Dear Mayor and City Council, Members of the Planning Commission, and City Staff: The Rottlund Company, Inc. would like to present a mixed use development proposal for the approximate 140 acres located at the Southeast corner of Highway 41 and Highway 5. This site was previously proposed as the Gateway West Business Park. The proposal "Gateway Village" has 11 acres of commercial, 5 acres of neighborhood commercial and the balance of a variety of residential housing types. We believe that this site is best suited for residential development due to the topography, relationship to schools, park and existing wetlands. The site is least suited for industrial development. Due to the same above reasons but also the lack of adequate vehicle access today and in the future. Gateway Village is intended to be a unique residential neighborhood/commercial neighborhood focused toward the nontraditional family, such as; empty nesters, seniors, single parents and single professionals. The housing is also moderately priced, ranging from approximately $90,000 to $180,000. The site planning is designed to promote a sense of neighborhood and community. There are four basic housing clusters focusing around a Village Square that connects them from the neighborhood shops and the neighborhood parks by way of a pedestrian parkway. The trails connect all the parks, open spaces, the wetland along the community park and an elementary school to the east. The concept is to promote pedestrian patterns from housing to shops, parks and possibly transit opportunities in keeping with trends towards more transit oriented developments. Village Homes Single Family detached 2-story for 1300 - 1600 sq. ft. $110,000 - $140,000 young professional, single parents and couples. Cottages Single Family detached 1-level living 1420 - 1520 sq. ft. $120,000 - $160,000 for empty nesters and Seniors. Garden Single Family attached townhomes for 1300 sq. ft. $100,000 - $120,000 Homes 1-level living. Townhomes Single Family attached townhomes 1150 - 1250 sq. ft. $90,000 - $110,000 2-story for young professional. Single Family Young families with 65' wide lots 1500 - 2400 sq. ft. $140,000 - $180,000 QGEOONNY 2681 LONG LAKE ROAD ROSEVILLE, MN 55113 (6121 638-0500 FAX (612)638-0501 Page 2 August 21, 1995 We are excited to propose a more traditional neighborhood for the nontraditional family at a moderate price. This is a market that is much needed in Chanhassen and we believe this site has the right elements for success. Please give this proposal your fair attention. u y, !, ,.A President ms/chanit.doc cc: Tim Whitten z CHASKA GATEWAY PARTNERS August 28, 1995 Planning Commission City of Chanhassen 690 Coulter Drive Chanhassen,MN 55317 Dear Commission Members: About eight years ago a small group experienced, reputable builders and developers formed Gateway Partnership and purchased a total of 180 acres of industrial guided land in western Chanhassen. The objective was to develop a first class industrial park working closely and cooperatively with the City of Chanhassen. Opus Corporation, a recognized leader in industrial development was hired to market and develop the land. An excellent development plan was prepared by Dahlgren, Shardlow and Uban, Inc., with support from engineering consultants, Schoell&Madson and others. A Concept Plan was approved in November of 1992 with conditions that major changes could result based on the outcome of a Highway Five Corridor Study in progress. Since that time we have had numerous meetings with the City staff to consider adjustments to the plan and yet insure ultimate successful development of the land for industrial purposes. So many obstacles have been raised and so many concessions demanded of us that we have concluded that we can not successfully develop this site as an industrial park. Staff recommendations voiced at these meetings has convinced us that the development policies proposed by the City can be met by developing the land for a mixed residential use rather than industrial. These policies include: * Retention of existing terrain and severe restrictions on mass grading(essential to efficient use for modern industrial development). * Requirement that 50 acres(1/3 of the 150 acre site)be devoted to public park use. * The preservation of open space view corridors into the site(reducing the industrial development by approximately 1/5). * Limiting of vehicular access to Trunk Highway 5 to right hand in and right hand out only. The latter restriction we know from experience to be particularly damaging to successful industrial development. Trunk Highway 5 would be the most important orientation for industrial and related business (restaurants, etc.) uses. Limiting this access is a major deterrent to successful development of an industrial park. To the east there are two million people (and downtown Chanhassen). To the west is Victoria. We have firmly concluded that we cannot develop the land for industrial use given the development and access policies currently proposed by the City. By contrast, a well planned mixed residential use on this property will not need full access to Trunk Highway 5. In fact, such use will be more conducive to achieving the City's objectives on this site as expressed to us over the past years. As the owners of this land we ask that you give a serious objective review of the proposals offered by the Rottlund Company,Inc. We know they are dedicated and capable people. They will be able to deliver the variety of land uses that will meet the City's objectives.

This property is zoned A-2, Agricultural Estate, and is guided office/industrial. The plan proposes 54 (12)unit buildings for a total of 648 units at a gross density of 7.12 units per acre. The plan as proposed would require a comprehensive plan change as well as a rezoning. The applicants would like to discuss their proposal with the Planning Commission. ANALYSIS While this is a discussion item, staff has done a cursory review of the proposal and have identified the following as possible framework for discussion. 1. 2000 Land Use Designation This property was given an IOP designation at the time of the 1990 Comprehensive Plan update. As staff has asked with other request for changes in land use designations, if we are to maintain our land use mix, where will the industrial land be replaced inside the current MUSA? Staff is concerned that a reduction in the city's industrial land use is not in the best interest of the community in terms of maintaining an appropriate balance of land uses, preserving an appropriate tax base mix, or providing a range of employment opportunities. LandMark, Ltd. September 27, 1995 Page 2 2. Preservation of Natural Features It appears that the plan would not preserve the significant ridge line. It is difficult, based on this conceptual plan, to state how this proposal will impact the land form. The plan roughly corresponds to the wetland edges known by the city. It is difficult to state with this level of detail if this plan is saving more of the natural features of the area. 3. Changing the land use designation of the property. The question that staff is asking the Planning Commission to consider is what is the city getting for changing this designation from IOP to high density residential. • Is this proposal providing a market niche that is not provided in the city? Currently, there are vacant areas of medium and residential zoning in the city. • If this area is changed, where will the IOP be designated? • Is this the appropriate place to provide 648 units of housing in terms of relation to other services, including transit, recreation/open space, schools, convenience commercial? The Zoning Ordinance directs the Planning Commission to consider six (6)possible adverse affects of the proposed amendment. The six (6) affects and our findings regarding them are: a) The proposed action has been considered in relation to the specific policies and provisions of and has been found to be consistent with the official City Comprehensive Plan. b) The proposed use is or will be compatible with the present and future land uses of the area. c) The proposed use conforms with all performance standards contained in the Zoning Ordinance. d) The proposed use will not tend to or actually depreciate the area in which it is proposed. e) The proposed use can be accommodated with existing public services and will not overburden the city's service capacity. f) Traffic generation by the proposed use is within capabilities of streets serving the property. LandMark, Ltd. September 27, 1995 Page 3 2000 Land Use Plan The property is guided for office/industrial land use. The proposed development is inconsistent with this designation. Land Use Goal Achieve a mixture of development which will assure a high quality of life and a reliable tax base. Policies Recognizing that some uses pay their way in terms of the property taxes they generate and some uses do not. Chanhassen will strive for a mixture of development which will assure its financial well being. Planned industrial development will be encouraged as a means of encouraging tax base growth and creating new employment opportunities. It is believed that planned - growth can and should be designed to minimize environmental neighborhood and traffic impact. Land Use Goal To provide opportunities for all residents, consistent with the identifies community development goals. Policies Subsidized housing should be given equal site and planning consideration to non-subsidized housing units and should not be placed in inferior locations or in areas that are not provided with necessary urban services. RECOMMENDATION Staff requests that the Planning Commission provide the applicant with input regarding the potential redesignation of the site from office/industrial to high density residential.

Proposed Site Plan Dear Bob: Please find attached to this correspondence twelve(12)copies of a schematic concept plan for the 90 acre Madsen Property. This property is located in the north half of Section 22;west of Audubon Road;east of Galpin Boulevard,and immediately south of the Twin Cities Western • railroad. The subject project is located immediately west of the Bluff Creek Estates. The applicant is requesting to discuss two specific items at the Planning Commission work session: 1.) The Planning Commission receptiveness to providing low and moderate income housing in the City of Chanhassen; 2.) The Planning Commission receptiveness to changing the land use designation and zoning for the subject property to accommodate low and moderate income housing. The City's Year 2000 Land Use Plan designates the subject property as office/industrial. The City's Zoning Map (Effective September 17, 1987)indicates the subject property is currently zoned as R2-Agriculture Estate District. The applicant is requesting the City's Land Use Plan be amended to designate the property as residential-high density(net density of 8-16 units per acre), and that the subject property be zoned either R-12-High Density District or R-8-Mixed Medium Density Residential District. The applicant is predicating this development request on a desire to provide a high quality low and moderate income multi family housing project in the City of Chanhassen. The applicant has reviewed the socioeconomic and census data for the City of Chanhassen and it appears as though the City has a limited supply of low and moderate income housing. For example,when compared to all other local governments in the Twin Cities Metropolitan Area,the City of Chanhassen ranks 153rd and 128th respectively for homestead valuation less 72,000 and$115,000 per unit. In terms of housing diversity,the City ranks 92nd out of all other local governments in the Twin Cities Metropolitan Area for units other than single family detached. In addition, it is also our understanding that there is little land left in the City within the Metropolitan Urban Service Area that is zoned and guided for multi family housing.

Upon inspection by staff, it was discovered that their rooftop HVAC was not screened. The rooftop HVAC was not shown on the plans submitted as part of the initial site plan review for which the building permit was issued. Pillsbury is requesting the use of a six foot chain link fence with gray slats to fulfill the screening requirement. ANALYSIS Section 20-1454 (9) of the City Code Highway 5 Architectural design standards states: Mechanical equipment, satellite dishes, and other utility hardware, whether located on the roof or exterior to the building or on the ground adjacent to it, shall be screened from public view and with materials identical to or strongly similar to building materials or by heavy landscaping that will be effective in winter or they shall be located so as not to be visible from any public way. Use of parapet wall or pitched roof elements to screen equipment is encouraged. In no case shall wooden fencing be used as a rooftop equipment screen. The applicant is proposing this fencing due to their desire to minimize disruption to the new roof that has been installed on the addition as well as a concern for the wind loads that will be borne by any screening on the roof. Kate Aanenson September 28, 1995 Page 2 Staff believes that even though the ordinance does not specifically prohibit the use of chain link fencing with slats for screening purposed, the prohibition of the use of fencing would include it use. However, since it is not expressly prohibited, staff is requesting that the Planning Commission clarify the intent of this section. RECOMMENDATION Staff requests that the Planning Commission provide staff with direction for the interpretation of the architectural design standard. Attachments 1. Screening Schematic 2.

It gave me a better understanding of what the intent of your screening specification is . The submittal I left with you shows the slat color grey which will blend in nicely with the precast, which is aesthetically pleasing, and will make it easy to install on the parapet which you encourage in your spec . The other advantage in going with this slatted cyclone fence is at that elevation it will significantly reduce the wind load by allowing the wind to blow through thus eliminating the need for diagonal bracing back to the newly installed roof. I understand that the application of this fencing is not typical, however we feel it is the best application for the circumstance. I would very much appreciate you presenting this letter as well as the slat sample and elevation sketches to the planning commission for approval at their next meeting on October 4 . Our recommendation is to use the elevation drawing showing a 30 ft . return to the north at the east end of each screening run. I look forward to hearing from you on the fifth of October that we may proceed with the screening as we intend to complete the project in October.
