SUGGESTED ACTION
The Planning Commission recommends the City Council approve the Conditional Use Permit (CUP)
to allow a drive-through facility for a pick-up window subject to the conditions of approval in the
staff report, and
Adopts the Planning Commission's Findings of Fact and Recommendation.
Motion Type Simple Majority Vote of members present
Strategic
Priority N/A
SUMMARY
The applicant is proposing a drive-through pick-up window as part of their restaurant. This drive-
through is unique in that there is no menu board on-site; orders are placed on-line, via phone or with an
app, and payment is made virtually. Due to this operational model, the queuing for vehicles is reduced,
leading to a reduction in the length of the drive-through stacking lane necessary for the operation.
Based on the traffic study submitted with the application, the length of the vehicular stacking can be
reduced to five cars from the required 12. It shall be a requirement of the CUP that only this restaurant
business model for a drive-through pick-up window without a menu board and ordering system is
permitted on the site.
BACKGROUND
226
The Planning Commission held a public hearing on September 7, 2021 to review the proposed project.
The Planning Commission voted 7-0 on a motion recommending approval of the Conditional Use
Permit. There were no serious concerns or issues with the proposal. The Planning Commission minutes
for September 7, 2021 are in the consent agenda for this City Council packet.
DISCUSSION
The proposed Conditional Use Permit will permit a drive-through pick-up window with no menu
boards, no ordering kiosks and no payment at the pick-up window.
BUDGET
RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends that City Council approve the Conditional Use Permit to allow a drive-through pick-
up window subject to the conditions of the Planning Commission staff report and adoption of the

DISCUSSION
The BH District allows fast food restaurants as a permitted use. However, a drive-through
facility requires a conditional use permit.
The applicant is proposing a drive-through pickup window as part of their restaurant. This drive-
through is unique in that there is no menu board on-site, orders are placed on-line, via phone or
with an app and payment is made virtually. Due to this operational model, the queuing for
vehicles is reduced, leading to a reduction in the length of the drive-through stacking lane
necessary for the operation. Based on the traffic study submitted with the application, the length
of the vehicular stacking can be reduced to five cars from the required 12. It shall be a
requirement of the CUP that only this restaurant business model for a drive-through pick-up
window without a menu board and ordering system is permitted on the site.
As part of the review of the proposed drive-through facility, staff must determine compliance
with the specific criteria for conditional uses.
Conditional Use Permit Criteria
Sec 20-292 Drive-Through Facilities
Drive-through facilities for any use shall comply with the following standards:
1. They shall not be located adjacent to any residential lot lines.
Drive-through is adjacent to a commercial parking lot.
2. They shall be provided with a suitable visual screen from adjacent properties.
Landscaping shall be installed along the western property line parallel to the drive-
through. Along the west property line we suggest adding 2-3 columnar overstory trees in
the wider sections of green space and tall grasses along the stacking spots.
3. Stacking shall be provided within applicable parking lot setbacks.
Stacking is accommodated within the existing vehicular circulation area.
4. Stacking shall meet the following standards:
1. Banks: Five vehicles (100 feet);
2. Coffee shops: 13 vehicles (260 feet);
3. Fast-food restaurant: 12 vehicles (240 feet);
4. Pharmacy: Four vehicles (80 feet);
5. Car washes: Four vehicles (80 feet);
6. Other uses: Four vehicles (80 feet).

September 7, 2021
Page 4
The applicant submitted a traffic study regarding the required stacking for the pick-up
window. Based on the study, five vehicle stacking is adequate to accommodate their
peak hour stacking demand.
5. The City may require a vehicle stacking study to determine whether more or less stacking
shall be required for a particular use.
A traffic study was submitted for review.
6. Stacking areas shall not interfere with vehicular circulation in the parking lot, nor
encroach into any required drive aisles.
Due to the shortened stacking demand, the stacking area will not interfere with vehicular
circulation on site. The site cannot accommodate a 12 vehicle stacking queue.
7. Speaker or intercom system shall not be audible at the property line.
No speaker or intercom is included in the drive-through pick-up window.
ACCESS
The site has two driveways onto West 79th Street. Access to the drive-through is from the east
side of the building and circulates around the north side of the building terminating in the
stacking area for the pick-up window on the west side of the building.

PUBLIC FACILITIES
City sewer, water and stormwater facilities and a public street are adequate for the planned pick-
up window.
The Engineering Department reviewed the Conditional Use Permit submittal for 530 W. 79th
Street, Unit 100 (Crisp & Green). These comments are divided into two categories: general
comments and proposed conditions of approval (Recommendation). General comments are
informational points to guide the applicant in the proper planning of public works infrastructure
for this project, to inform the applicant of possible extraordinary issues and/or to provide the
basis for findings. Proposed conditions are requirements that the Engineering Department
recommends be formally imposed on the developer in the final order. Note that references to the
City Standards” herein refer to the City of Chanhassen Standard Specifications and Detail
Plates.
General Comments/Findings
1. Any and all utility and transportation plans submitted with this application have been
reviewed only for the purpose of determining the feasibility of providing utility and
transportation facilities for the project in accordance with City Standards. A
recommendation of Conditional Use Permit approval does not constitute final approval of
details, including but not limited to alignments, materials and points of access,
connection or discharge, that are depicted or suggested in the application. The applicant
is required to submit detailed construction drawings for the project, as applicable. The
City of Chanhassen Engineering and Public Works Departments will review plans, in
detail, when they are submitted and approve, reject or require modifications to the plans
or drawings based upon conformance with City Standards, the Chanhassen Code of
Ordinances and the professional engineering judgment of the City Engineer.
2. It is the opinion of the Engineering Department that the proposed conditional use permit
can be developed in accordance with the requirements of the Chanhassen Code of
Ordinances (as it pertains to Engineering and Public Works requirements) and City
Standards, provided it fully addresses the comments and conditions contained herein, and
can be approved.
3. The applicant is proposing the installation of a drive-through pick-up window for a future
fast-casual restaurant (Crisp & Green) in the existing building located at 530 W. 79th
Street, Unit 100. In consideration of this request, a traffic study conducted by SRF
Consulting was provided which performed a review of the surrounding road network
operations (existing condition and build condition), evaluation of projected trip
generation, site access, and circulation within the site which included the proposed drive-
through operations. The study concluded that the development is expected to generate
131 trips and 42 trips during midday peak hour (noon until 1 p.m.) and commuter peak
hour (5-6 p.m.), respectively, which was characterized as a minimal traffic impact to the
surrounding transportation network. Furthermore, it was determined that due to the
characteristic of the drive-through pick-up window an anticipated design queue length
234
530 W. 79th Street, Unit 100
Request for Conditional Use Permit
September 7, 2021
Page 6
would only be five cars during peak hours, which is less than a typical drive-through due
to the fact that the drive-through pick-up window is only for pick-up of online orders.
This anticipated queue length was found not to impede the operation of the existing users
or block traffic circulation within the site. SRF Consulting did recommend pavement
markings and signage to identify the pavement area assigned for pick-up window queues
to avoid blocking or impeding other site-generated circulating traffic. There is also a
need for “Do Not Enter” and “One Way” signage to further clarify site circulation. See
proposed condition 1.

The Cornerstone
Hello
We believe the 12 general standard bullet points have been met in the SRF study.
The pickup window will not endanger the public. lt will help with the traffic.
The aesthetics and design of the exterior will not change due to the pickup window.
The community will benefit in many ways and nothing new to the exterior of the building will change the
way the water, sewer and any other public service work in the community.
The vehicles will be using the property in the best way it can as Iaid out in the traffic study.
The pickup window will not depreciate the surrounding property values.
Please read the SRF traffic study and findings. We believe all the criteria is met to move forward with the
Pickup window.
Thank you !

Introduction
This traffic study has been completed for the proposed Crisp & Green development in the City of
Chanhassen (see Figure 1). The main objectives of the study are to review existing operations, evaluate
trip generation, access, and circulation within the site, including the proposed drive -thru operations,
and recommend improvements to ensure safe and efficient operations. A summary of the traffic study
findings, conclusions and recommendations can be found on page 13 of this memorandum.
Existing Conditions
The existing conditions were reviewed to establish a baseline to identify any future impacts associated
with the proposed development. The evaluation of existing conditions includes data collection efforts
and intersection capacity analys es. The following information summarizes the existing conditions.
Traffic Data Collection
Existing weekday midday and p.m. peak period vehicular turning movement volumes were estimated
at the following study intersections.
Note that traffic data collection activities were conducted during May 2021 and were impacted by the
COVID-19 pandemic, with traffic volumes estimated to be approximately 15 to 25 percent lower than
normal conditions for the study area. Therefore, a Post-COVID-19 estimate of the study area
background traffic volumes was developed based on the newly collected turning movement counts as
well as Pre-COVID-19 traffic counts from; MnDOT for the Highway 5 intersections (2019), and the
City of Chanhassen including; the Chanhassen Chick -fil -A Traffic Impact Analysis (2016 , HRGreen)
and the Market Boulevard Corridor Study (2016 , Kimley -Horn). This Post-COVID-19 estimate of the
study area background traffic volumes was used as a surrogate for the existing (2021) traffic volumes
and build condition background traffic volumes.

Roadway Characteristics
A field assessment was completed to identify various roadway characteristics within the transportation
system study area, such as functional classification, general configuration, and posted speed limit. A
summary of these roadway characteristics is shown in Table 1 . Note that these are general
characteristics and that there are some deviations within portions of roadway segments.
Table 1. Existing Roadway Characteristics
1) Functional Classification based on MnDOT’s Functional Classification GIS.
The Highway 5/Great Plains Boulevard and Highway 5 /Market Boulevard intersections are traffic
signal controlled, while the four other study intersections are unsignalized with side -street stop control.
Existing geometrics, traffic controls, and traffic volumes in the study area are shown in Figure 2.
Existing Intersection Traffic Operations/Capacity Analysis
An existing intersection traffic operations/capacity analysis was completed t o establish baseline
conditions to which future traffic operations can be compared. The capacity analysis was completed
for the midday and p.m. peak hours at the study intersections using Synchro/SimTraffic traffic
simulation model.
Capacity analysis resul ts identify a Level of Service (LOS) which indicates the quality of traffic flow
through an intersection. Intersections are given a ranking from LOS A through LOS F. The LOS
results are based on average delay per vehicle, which correspond to the delay thre shold values shown
in Table 2. LOS A indicates the best traffic operation, with vehicles experiencing minimal delays.
LOS F indicates an intersection where demand exceeds capacity, or a breakdown of traffic flow.
Overall intersection LOS A through D are generally considered acceptable by drivers in the Twin
Cities Metropolitan Area.
For side-street stop-controlled intersections, special emphasis is given to providing an estimate for the
level of service of the side -street approach. Traffic operations at an unsignalized intersection with side-
street stop control can be described in two ways. First, consideration is given to the overall intersection
level of service. This considers the total number of vehicles entering the intersection and the capa bility
of the intersection to support these volumes.

Second, it is important to consider delay on the minor approach. Since mainline traffic does not stop,
most of the delay is attributed to the side -street approaches. It is typical of intersections wi th higher
mainline traffic volumes to experience high levels of delay (i.e. poor levels of service) on the side -
street approaches, but an acceptable overall intersection level of service during peak hour conditions.
Table 2. Level of Service Criteria for Signalized and Unsignalized Intersections

D > 35 - 55 > 25 - 35
E > 55 – 80 > 35 – 50
F > 80 > 50
Results of the existing traffic operations analysis, shown in Table 3, indicate that all study intersections
operate at an acceptable overall LOS D or better during the midday (12 -1 p.m.) and p.m. (5-6 p.m.)
peak hours under existing traffic control and intersection geometric s. However, the eastbound left -
turn at the Great Plains Boulevard/West 79th Street intersection operates at LOS F, and the
westbound left -turn at the Market Boulevard/West 79th Street intersection operates at LOS E.
The southbound left-turn 95th percentile queues at the Great Plains Boulevard/Highway 5
intersection, currently spill back to and beyond the West 79th Street intersection during the midday
12 -1 p.m.) and p.m. (5 -6 p.m.) peak hours. The southbound left-turn 95th percentile queues at the
and Market Boulevard/Highway 5 intersection, currently spill back to the West 79th Street intersection
during the p.m. (5 -6 p.m.) peak hour. Note that the midday and p.m. peak hour 95th percentile queues
for the worst approaches are also reported in Table 3.

Proposed Development
The site of the proposed Crisp & Green development is generally the westmost 3,000 square feet of
currently unoccupied/vacant space (formerly Cheers Wine & Spirits) in the 79th Street Center, and
was assumed to be completed and occupied by late 2021 to early 2022 .
The proposed development consists of a healthy fast -casual restaurant offering a sustainable chef-
crafted me nu, featuring: made-to-order salads with homemade dressings, naturally raised meats and
fish, grain bowls, smoothies and seasonal sides and includes indoor seating for 50 patrons plus a pick -
up window. Food services available include carry-out, delivery, pick-up and dine-in. The City of
Chanhassen is specifically concerned with the operation of the pick -up window and its interaction and
impact on the existing cleaners/laundry drive -up drop-off and pick up. The city also desires evaluation
of the proposed pick -up window, assuming potential future conversion to a fast -food restaurant.
Crisp & Green can be characterized as a fast-casual , sit-down restaurant. Most customers (70 percent)
typically order online with fewer customers (30 percent) ordering at the rest a urant. The menu generally
contains higher quality made to order food items with fewer frozen or processed ingredients than fast -
food restaurants. The proposed development concept site plan is illustrated in Figure 3 . Access to the
proposed development site is planned at the two site driveway locations on West 79th Street.
Traffic Forecasts
Trip Generation Estimates
Trip generation estimates for weekday midday peak hour (12-1 p.m.) and p.m. commuter peak hour
5-6 p.m.) plus daily trips were made for the proposed development and a potential future fast-food
conversion comparison, were based on the Institute of Transportation Engineers (ITE) Trip Generation
Manual, 10th Edition. The proposed development will not be open for breakfast, therefore , the a.m.
peak hour was not included in the analysis. The midday peak hour (12-1 p.m.) trips were estimated
based on ITE peak hour of generator data. The p.m. commuter peak hour (5 -6 p.m.) trips were
estimated based on ITE p.m. peak hour of adjacent street data.
Results of the trip generation estimate shown in Table 4 indicate that the proposed Crisp & Green
development is expected to generate a total of 131 midday peak hour (12 -1 p.m.) trips, 42 p.m.
commuter peak hour (5-6 p.m.) trips, and 946 daily trip ends (50 percent in/50 percent out).

Development-Generated Traffic Forecast Assignment
The directional trip distribution for the proposed development and site -generated peak hour trips , as
shown in Figure 4, was developed based on the regional distribution of households and employment,
existing study area travel patterns, and engineering judgment. Based on this directional distribution,
new trips generated by the proposed development were assigned to the existing traffic on the
supporting roadway network for the Development Build Conditions and are shown in Figure 5 .
Development Build Conditions
Intersection Traffic Operations/Capacity Analysis
The Build Conditions intersection traffic operations/capacity analysis was completed to determine
future traffic operations and development -generated traffic impacts . The capacity analysis was
completed for the midday and p.m. peak hours at the study intersections using Synchro/SimTraffic
traffic simulation model. Results of the Development Build Conditions traffic operations analysis are
shown in Table 5 .
Development Build Conditions
The Development Build Conditions traffic operations analysis results , shown in Table 5 , indicate that
all study intersections are expected to continue to operate at an acceptable overall LOS D or better
during the midday (12 -1 p.m.) and p.m. (5-6 p.m.) peak hours under existing traffic control and
intersection geometrics . While delay and queuing on West 79 th Street for the eastbound and
westbound left -turning vehicles at Great Plains Boulevard and Market Boulevard, respectively, are
expected to increase somewhat , the proposed Crisp & Green restaurant site-generated traffic impacts
can be characterized as minimal . The northbound Great Plains Boulevard left-turn queues at West
79th Street , including the development of the proposed Crisp & Green restaurant , are not expected
to spill back into the traffic signal -controlled intersection at Great Plains Boulevard/Highway 5 .

Proposed Site Pick-Up Window/Circulation Review
Site Pick-Up Window Traffic Operations
A review of the proposed Crisp & Green development concept site plan (see Figure 3 ) was completed
to identify issues specific to the proposed pick -up window operation and recommend potential
improvements regarding pick-up window queuing spillback and site circulation.
Based on ITE and local traffic study data, the 95th percentile or design queue (in vehicles) developing
from a fast-food restaurant drive-through operation has been field measured at an average of 15
percent of the total peak hour inbound traffic volume generated by the fast -food restaurant with drive -
through. However, field observed pick -up window queuing data was not available for Fast -Casual
Restaurant w/Pick-Up Window, therefore, the design queue for the proposed Crisp & Green
development was based on data provided by Crisp & Green. Since Crisp & Green will not use a menu
board or pay window (all done online), the estimated pick -up window vehicle dwell time (speed of
service) is only 20-30 seconds, compared to 60-90 seconds, or more, for fast -food drive -through.
Results of the Pick -Up Window /Drive-Through design queue estimates, shown in Table 5, indicate
that the proposed Crisp & Green development is expected to generate a design queue of 5 vehicles
during the midday peak hour (12 -1 p.m.). For comparison, a potential future conversion of the
proposed Crisp & Green development to fast -food restaurant with drive-through could be expected
to generate a design queue of 12 vehicles during the midday peak hour (12 -1 p.m.).

1) The proposed Crisp & Green development was assumed as a Fast-Casual Restaurant with Pick-Up Window.
2) Typical Fast-Food Restaurant with Drive-Through included for possible future conversion comparison and for use in site drive-through

Based on these Pick -Up Window /Drive-Through design queue estimates for the proposed Crisp &
Green development and the potential future conversion of the proposed development to fast -food
restaurant with drive -through, design queues were plotted on the proposed development concept site
plan (see Figure 6 ). A review of these development generated pick -up window design queues indicates
that the proposed Crisp & Green pick-up window would not be a factor in blocking or otherwise
impeding the operation of the existing laundry drop -off/pick -up drive -through or of other site -
generated circulating traffic. It is recommended that the proposed development Pick-Up Window lane
be marked, striped and signed to identify the pavement area assigned and avoid potential blocking of
other site-generated circulating and parked traffic (see Figure 6).

Summary of Findings, Conclusions and Recommendations
Based on this proposed Crisp & Green Development traffic study and analysis, the following summary
of findings, conclusions and recommendations is offered for your consideration:
1. All study intersections operate at an acceptable overall LOS D or better during the midday (12 -1
p.m.) and p.m. (5 -6 p.m.) peak hours under existing traffic control and intersection geometrics.
However, the eastbound left -turn at the Great Plains Boulevard/West 79th Street intersection
operates at LOS F, and the westbound left -turn at the Market Boulevard/West 79th Street
intersection operates at LOS E.
2. Southbound left-turn 95th percentile queues at the Great Plains Boulevard/Highway 5
intersection, currentl y spill back to and beyond the West 79th Street intersection during the midday
12 -1 p.m.) and p.m. (5 -6 p.m.) peak hours. The southbound left -turn 95th percentile queues at
the and Market Boulevard/Highway 5 intersection, currently spill back to the West 79th Street
intersection during the p.m. (5 -6 p.m.) peak hour
3. The site of the proposed Crisp & Green development is generally the westmost 3,000 square feet
of currently unoccupied/vacant space (formerly Cheers Wine & Spirits) in the 79th Street Center.
The proposed development consists of a healthy fast -casual restaurant offering a sustainable chef-
crafted menu, featuring: made -to-order salads with homemade dressings, naturally raised meats
and fish, grain bowls, smoothies and seasonal sides and inclu des indoor seating for 50 patrons
plus a pick -up window with online ordering and payment .
4. Access to the proposed Crisp & Green development site is planned at the two site driveway
locations on West 79th Street.
5. The proposed Crisp & Green development is expected to generate a total of 131 midday peak
hour (12 -1 p.m.) trips, 42 p.m. commuter peak hour (5-6 p.m.) trips, and 946 daily trip ends (50
percent in/50 percent out).
6. The directional trip distribution for the proposed development was developed based on the
regional distribution of households and employment, existing study area travel patterns, and
engineering judgment. Based on this directional distribution, new trips generated by the proposed
development were assigned to the existing traffic on the supporting roadway network for the
Development Build Conditions .
7. The Development Build Conditions traffic operations analysis results indicate that all study
intersections are expected to continue to operate at an acceptable overall LOS D or better du ring
the midday (12 -1 p.m.) and p.m. (5 -6 p.m.) peak hours under existing traffic control and
intersection geometrics. The delay and queuing on West 79th Street for the eastbound and
westbound approach left-turning vehicles at Great Plains Boulevard and Market Boulevard,
respectively, are expected to increase only slightly, therefore, the proposed Crisp & Green site-
generated traffic impacts can be characterized as minimal.

8. The northbound Great Plains Boulevard left -turn queues at West 79th Street, including the
proposed Crisp & Green restaurant site -generated trips, are not expected to spill back into the
traffic signal -controlled intersection at Great Plains Boulevard/Highway 5 .
9. A review of the proposed Crisp & Green development concept site plan was completed to identify
issues specific to the proposed pick-up window and recommend potential improvements
regarding pick-up window queuing spillback and site circulation.
10. Based on ITE and local traffic study data, the 95th percentile or design queue (in vehicles)
developing from a fa st-food restaurant drive -through operation has been field measured at an
average of 15 percent of the total peak hour inbound traffic volume generated by the fast -food
restaurant with drive -through. However, field observed pick-up window queuing data was not
available for Fast -Casual Restaurant w ith Pick -Up Window, therefore, the design queue for the
proposed Crisp & Green development was based on data provided by Crisp & Green. Since Crisp
Green will not use a menu board or pay window (all done online), the estimated pick -up window
vehicle dwell time (speed of service) is only 20 -30 seconds, compared to 60 -90 seconds, or more,
for fast -food drive -through.
11. Results of the Pick -Up Window/Drive -Through design queue estimate s indicate that the
proposed Crisp & Green development is expected to generate a design queue of 5 vehicles during
the midday peak hour (12 -1 p.m.). For comparison, a potential future conversion of the proposed
Crisp & Green development to fast -food restaurant with drive -through could be expected to
generate a design queue of 12 vehicles during the midday peak hour (12 -1 p.m.).
12. A review of the development generated pick -up window design queues indicates that the proposed
Crisp & Green pick-up window would not be a factor in blocking or otherwise impeding the
operation of the existing laundry drop-off/pick-up drive -through or other site-generated
circulating or parked traffic. The proposed restaurant site -generated pick-up window trips are not
expected to spill back into the East Site Driveway /West 79th Street intersection.
13. It is recommended that the proposed development Pick -up window lane be marked, striped and
signed to identify the pavement area assigned and avoid potential blocking or impeding of other
site-generated circulating traffic as shown in Figure 6 .
14. Based on this proposed Crisp & Green Development traffic study and analysis, it is concluded
that the proposed development would generate a modest level of new traffic, resulting in no
significant degradation in peak period traffic operations and levels of service. Therefore, the City
of Chanhassen may consider the proposed Crisp & Green Development, without concern that it
would represent a significant negative traffic impact to the supporting area roadway system or
existing site circulation and traffic operations .

Good morning Bob,
I thought I would send you a quick email to help explain how our proposed curbside pick up
window will operate at our Crisp & Green fast casual restaurant.
This pick up window will operate very similar to how other restaurants utilize curbside
pickup. Generally speaking, other restaurants will reserve a handful of dedicated parking
spots for curbside pickup. Customers order in advance and call the store once they have
arrived in those dedicated parking spots.
Our curbside pick up window will require our customers to preorder their food on our online
application with the time they plan to pick it up. The customer then drives up to our
curbside pick up window at their scheduled time and provides their name to our employee.
The employee will simply hand the customer their bag of food and thank them for the
business.
There will NOT be any ordering at the pick up window. There will NOT be any payment at
the pick up window. With this said, I am projecting the average time a customer is at our pick
up window to be less than 10 seconds. With this type of speed in processing, we do not
anticipate any significant back up at the curbside pickup window of more than a few cars at
any time.
Once the curbside pick up window is operational it will allow us to remove the need for
dedicated curbside pick up parking spots. The pick up window will also provide the necessary
relief on our overall parking in the mall. The convenience of being able to pick up their food
without ever getting out of their cars will be valuable to the community. Fewer, slip and falls
etc… Especially with the COVID-19 spiking once again. I’m confident that our curbside pick
up window will really be appreciated by the Chanhassen community.
If you have any additional questions or concerns regarding our curbside pick up window,
please do not hesitate to contact me.
Thanks again,
Dean Villella
