ACCESS
Access to the property is via Foxford Road. While the property is also located on Pioneer Trail,

GRADING, DRAINAGE AND EROSION CONTROL
The Engineering Department has reviewed the IUP submittal for grading in excess of 1,000
cubic yards associated with this application. These comments are divided into two categories:
general comments and proposed conditions. 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 Engineering recommends be formally imposed on the applicant
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 grading, erosion control, utility and transportation plans submitted with this
application have been reviewed only for the purpose of determining the feasibility of the
project in accordance with City Standards. A recommendation of IUP 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
799
Planning Commission
9361 Foxford Road IUP– Planning Case 2021-24
October 19, 2021
Page 4 of 7
application. 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 IUP application 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 to import approximately 5,000 cubic yards of material in order
to raise the elevations on the southwest portion of their property. The material will
consist of up to four feet of granular or sand fill with up to four feet of top soil which will
create a berm that will be stabilized with landscaping and other typical vegetation as
indicated on the Landscape Plan, designed by The Mustard Seed, Inc., dated July 23,
2021. The applicant has also provided a Grading and Erosion Control Plan designed by
James R. Hill, Inc., dated March 9, 2021, along with a narrative describing the erosion
control practices and sequencing of construction operations. The Grading and Erosion
Control Plan has been reviewed and found to be in general conformance with Sec. 7-35
and Sec. 19-145 of City Ordinances. However, there was not an existing conditions
survey provided with the associated Grading & Erosion Control Plans. In order to review
the impacts to existing drainage, particularly where the berm is raising the elevation close
to the existing ditch abutting Carver County right-of-way, an existing conditions survey
must be provided. Furthermore, staff recommends that certain plan notes be added
regarding City Ordinance requirements and the applicant’s and contractor’s responsibility
in meeting such requirements for clarity. One example is that there are plan call-outs
regarding 1:1 slopes and the placement of landscape boulders associated with the steep
slopes. If retaining walls are greater than four feet in height, they are required to be
designed by a registered professional engineer and acquire the appropriate City permits.
4. There appears to be a small, incidental ditch wetland at the northeast corner of Pioneer
Trail and Foxford Road. Based on the submitted plans, it does not appear that the project
will impact this wetland, however, if wetland impacts are proposed during grading
activities the applicant shall first seek a Wetland Conservation Act permit. Double row
silt fence will be required on the north side of this wetland to protect the wetland from the
incoming fill.
5. The erosion control plans provide an estimate of 2.49 acres for the entire parcel and 0.61
acres of disturbance associated with the proposed grading activities. To guarantee
compliance with the plan, and related remedial work, a cash escrow or letter of credit
shall be furnished to the City before any site grading commences. In accordance with
Sec. 19-145.(d), the security is calculated based on the allowable, per parcel, amount of
7,500.00 per acre. This would equate to a total of $18,675.00 of security for the 2.49
acre site. However, after review of the required erosion control BMPs and area of
disturbance (0.61 acres) compared to the total acreage of the site (2.49 acres), staff feels it
reasonable to require a security for 125% of the area of disturbance rather than the entire
parcel.
8100
Planning Commission
9361 Foxford Road IUP– Planning Case 2021-24
October 19, 2021
Page 5 of 7
6. The applicant’s narrative and plans indicate that all work associated with grading
activities and restoration will be completed in the summer of 2022. Thus, staff feels it
adequate for the IUP to be approved for a period of one (1) year from the date of
approval.
LANDSCAPING
The applicant proposes to replace the existing diseased conifers with a variety of tree species.
MISCELLANEOUS
Any proposed grading shall not negatively impact or allow water to drain towards the existing
septic system or a secondary septic site on the property. Existing septic site and secondary septic
site are to be marked and protected to ensure soil treatment areas do not get compacted from
construction activity.
The IUP shall be approved for a period of one year from the date of City Council approval. If the
project is not completed by then, the applicant must apply for an extension of the IUP.
Sec. 20-323. - Termination.
An interim use permit shall terminate on the happening of any of the following events,
whichever first occurs:
1) The date stated in the permit;
9101
Planning Commission
9361 Foxford Road IUP– Planning Case 2021-24

Page 6 of 7
2) Upon violation of conditions under which the permit was issued;
3) Upon change in the city's zoning regulations which renders the use nonconforming;
4) Upon the subdivision of the property or the alteration of the lot lines of the property.
PERMITS
Permits from appropriate regulatory agencies must be obtained; including but not limited to the
Minnesota Pollution Control Agency, Riley Purgatory Bluff Creek Watershed District and
Carver County.
UTILITIES
City utilities are not available at present to the property.
RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends that the Planning Commission approve the Interim Use Permit to permit an
eight-foot high berm on the southwest corner of their property as shown on the plans prepared by
James R. Hill, Inc., dated March 9, 2021, subject to the following conditions, and adopt the
attached Findings of Fact and Recommendation:
Building
1. Any proposed grading shall not negatively impact or allow water to drain towards existing
the septic system or a secondary septic site on the property.
2. Existing septic site and secondary septic site are to be marked and protected to ensure soil
treatment areas do not get compacted from construction activity.
Engineering

2. The applicant shall update the Grading & Erosion Control Plans to include the following
notes:
a. Prior to commencement of any grading activities contact the City’s Water
Resources Department, Ryan Pinkalla at 952-227-1173, to schedule an initial
erosion control inspection.

Re: Development / Access Review Comments: 9631 Foxford Rd. Interim Use Permit located at
PID# 254080340 adjacent to County State Aid Highway (CSAH) 14 (Pioneer Trail)
Thank you for the opportunity to review the subject development in the City of Chanhassen. Consistent
with the County Comprehensive Plan and County Codes, and other official controls of the County, the
following are comments and recommended conditions of approval and as potential requirements for any
necessary permits to be issued for the project.
1. Regarding grading adjacent to the County Highway –
a. The proposed grading plan is outside of the existing County right of way and does not
appear to impact the County right of way.
b. Confirm the proposed drainage will not create an adverse impact towards the County right
of way.
c. Proposed grading shall tie-in and match the existing County right of way.
2. Regarding potential permitting in or impacting the County right of way –
a. Prior to any work affecting or on County highways or in County right of way, the applicant
shall coordinate plans with the County Engineer and obtain a Utility or
Excavating/Filling/Grading Permit(s) from Carver County Public Works:
www.co.carver.mn.us/departments/public-works/quick-links/permits). Final details of
locations, grades, and profiles affecting County roads as well as any utility connections will
need to be reviewed and approved prior to any permits.
b. Any damages, modifications, or changes incurred on County highways from current or
approved conditions will need to remedied or updated at development expense, including
costs incurred by the County.
These are the County’s comments at this time. If you have any questions or need further assistance, please

Vice Chair von Oven noted there are four items on the agenda for this evening, however, the
applicant for Item B3 has requested that the item be tabled.
PUBLIC HEARING:
CONSIDER A REQUEST FOR AN INTERIM USE PERMIT (IUP) FOR GRADING IN
EXCESS OF 1,000 CUBIC YARDS FOR THE CREATION OF A BERM ON PROPERTY
LOCATED AT 9631 FOXFORD ROAD
Project Engineer Henricksen gave a presentation on Planning Case 2021-24. The location is
abutting Pioneer Trail and is zoned Rural Residential. The applicant has provided an existing
condition survey as the line of trees shown on the property are diseased with rhizosphaera needle
cast which is killing the trees. Eventually those trees will be removed which will eliminate the
privacy or buffer to Pioneer Trail. There is an existing septic system on site which must be
protected during grading operations. The intent is to bring in approximately 5,000 cubic yards of
material in order to grade the privacy berm.
Commissioner Reeder asked the proposed height of the berm.
Mr. Henricksen believes it will be about eight feet from the existing grade and conforms with
City Ordinance.

Sharon Gatto, applicant, has lived on the property for 30 years and planted 300-400 bushes and
trees and with the disease they are losing their privacy. She stated they are hoping to take the
berm to the street level and put in trees and plantings to make a beautiful corner.
Vice Chair von Oven opened the public hearing.
Vice Chair von Oven closed the public hearing.
Commissioner Alto moved, Commissioner Reeder seconded that the Chanhassen Planning
Commission recommends that the City Council approve the Interim Use Permit (IUP) to
allow site gradings at 9631 Foxford Road subject to Conditions of Approval and Findings
of Fact and Decision recommendations.
All voted in favor and the motion carried unanimously with a vote of 5 to 0.
PUBLIC HEARING:
CONSIDER A REQUEST FOR AN AMENDMENT TO INTERIM USE PERMIT (IUP)
2021-03 TO AMEND THE COMPLETION DEADLINE, HAUL ROUTE AND STORAGE
AREA, BLACK CHERRY DEVELOPMENT, LLC (ERHART)
Project Engineer Henricksen gave a presentation on Planning Case 2021-03. The location of the
wetland dredging project is west of Great Plains Boulevard and east of Eagle Ridge Road. This is
an IUP that was previous approved by Planning Commission and City Council. The property is
zoned Agricultural Estate A-2 and has been approved for Preliminary Plat. He noted Wetland 2
is being proposed for the amendment and it is the same ultimate grading plan proposing 21,200
cubic yards of material to be excavated which needs to be completed in the winter months. Due
to weather conditions the previous year it was not completed which is why the applicant is
requesting an extension of the IUP. There is an amended haul route and stockpile location.
Commissioner Noyes asked why there is a change in haul route and stockpile location.
Mr. Henricksen replied it is because the Erhart Farms subdivision is going through the process of
final platting, construction plans, and build-out so they cannot put the stockpile there.
Dan Blake, Black Cherry Development, noted they began work the previous winter. It is about
three weeks of work and they got a week-and-a-half of work done and then the weather turned
warm. They were at risk of losing trucks in the marsh so they had to stop. He noted this will
include two weeks of work in the winter and it will happen pretty quickly.
Vice Chair von Oven opened the public hearing.
