Re: Approval Letter—RSI Marine Concept Plan
Dear Mr. Schatzle:
This letter is to confirm that on March 21, 2022, the Chanhassen City Council approved the
conceptual Planned Unit Development, PUD 2022-04, for RSI Marine subject to following
conditions of approval:
Planning:
1. The buildings must meet the requirements of Chapter 20, Article XXIII, Division 7
"Design Standards for commercial, industrial, and office-institutional developments". Of
particular importance:
a. The south and west elevations must be articulated either through the use of facade
modulation-stepping back/forward or extending a portion of the façade and/or
vertical division using different textures or materials.
b. The south and west elevations must include architectural detailing to facilitate the
reduction of the City's facade transparency requirement, as outlined in section
20-1068.
c. Tilt-up concrete panels must be grid or brick like in appearance.
d. Accent materials (metal, glass block, spandrel glass, etc.)are limited to 15 percent
of the building's facade.
e. Flat roofs should be defined with an ornamental parapet or cornice.
2. A complete site plan application will be required concurrent with the request to rezone to
Planned Unit Development (PUD).

3. A complete variance request for the use of holding tanks will be required concurrent with
the request to rezone to Planned Unit Development(PUD).
4. An expanded narrative should be provided addressing the proposed use of the site. The
narrative should address business model, number of employees present, parking needs,
expected traffic generation and other similar elements.
5. Proposed fence and gate shall not exceed eight feet in height, shall be located outside of
required front yard setbacks and sight triangle if not of an open design, and shall be
located behind required landscape buffers.
6. A proposed sign plan shall be provided as part of the site plan application.
7. A proposed lighting plan shall be provided as part of the site plan application.
8. Information on the heights and materials shall be provided for the proposed retaining
walls.
Landscaping:
1. Must include existing trees and woods on existing conditions sheet and update the canopy
coverage calculations.
a. Must meet or exceed required replacement tree planting for the site.
2. Must submit a tree inventory for the site.
3. Staff recommends use of no-mow turf grass or prairie mix in place of the proposed sod
areas to promote a sustainable landscape design for the site.
4. Must meet the buffer yard plantings as required by section 20-1176(f).
5. Must include foundation plantings on the outward facing sides of the buildings.
6. Staff recommends that the applicant propose an alternative to the required vehicular use
area landscaping requirements that meets the intent of the ordinance by providing
environmental benefits and/or reducing the heat island effect caused by large expanses of
asphalt.
Engineering:
1. Existing easements must be vacated prior to recording the final plat.
2. Ten-foot public drainage and utility easements will be required along all property lines.
3. Public drainage and utility easements will be required over public utilities with
dimensions adequate to properly repair and maintain the utility(i.e. water main).
4. Status of the two parcels abutting the preliminary plat's western property lines listed as
"Parcel ID: Gap" must be resolved prior to recording of the final plat.
5. Applicant must coordinate all right-of-way activity with Carver County, including
considerations and conditions associated with easements for the property as well as
requirements associated with ingress/egress and construction activities such as grading
and hauling operations.
6. A turnaround should be included meeting the requirements of section 20-1122. The
turnaround must facilitate the turning movement of the largest anticipated design vehicle
for the site or the City's largest fire trunk, whichever is greater.
7. Existing Conditions Survey:
a. Topographic data 100 feet beyond the property boundary.

b. Illustration of existing features that would impact the site's ingress/egress (e.g. the
full extents of Flying Cloud Drive which includes the median near the site's
entrance).
c. Utilities on or adjacent to the property, including location, size and invert
elevation of storm sewers, catch basins and manholes; location and size of water
mains (including casings) and hydrants; location of gas mains, high pressure lines,
fire hydrants, electric and telephone lines, and street lights. The direction, distance
to, and size of such facilities shall be indicated.
d. Sewage treatment systems and associated conveyance systems.
e. Existing easements and associated recording document numbers.
f. Property information within 150 feet of the property's boundary.
g. Retaining wall elevations.
h. Show buffer and wetland setbacks for managed type 2 wetland.
8. Retaining walls over four feet in height require an engineered design.
9. Retaining walls in easements will require Encroachment Agreements and if any
construction or impacts require access to abutting properties, the appropriate right-of-
entry agreements and/or temporary construction easements must be obtained.
10. No earth disturbing activities may occur until an approved SWPPP is developed. This
SWPPP shall be a standalone document consistent with the NPDES Construction Permit
and shall contain all required elements as listed in Parts III and IV of the permit. The
SWPPP will need to be updated as the plans are finalized, when the contractor and their
sub-contractors are identified and as other conditions change.
11. The City has preliminarily agreed to allow the development to tap into the public water
main which was extended with the Highway 101 Realignment project, but only to service
the development's fire suppression needs.
12. If the site will have any fixtures requiring the use of water other than for fire suppression
needs, a private source of water supply must be used for those fixtures.
13. Water Connection fees will be due at the time potable water is available to the site and
will be at the rates in effect at that time.
14. The property and potential future properties associated with this developable area will be
specially assessed for the extension of the public sanitary sewer when they connect.
15. The development will be required to extend the public water main to the western property
line, and the extension into the site must be along or near the improved private access to
allow for reasonable access for future repair and maintenance.
Water Resources:
1. A permit from the Lower Minnesota River Watershed District(LMRWD) will be
required. Staff believes the proposed stormwater will trigger LMRWD Rule D.
2. Verify with LMRWD if the project will trigger Rule F—Steep Slopes.
3. Must address Water Resources Engineer's (WRE) comments on stormwater design
transmitted via email dated February 4, 2022.
a. H&H models should be updated per these comments prior to site plan submittal.
4. Buildings and parking areas must meet required wetland setbacks.
5. Geotechnical report and infiltration testing to show sequencing of BMP design from
infiltration to filtration will likely be required prior to the issuance of building permit.

2. All buildings will need a fire panel (or one central location panel)to monitor the fire
sprinkler systems.
3. Fire hydrant(s) will be required- currently showing on preliminary utility plan.
4. Fire access roads/driveway grading not to exceed 10%in grade.
