the City must then approve the site plan. This is a quasi-judicial decision.
The City’s discretion in approving or denying a variance is limited to whether or not the proposed
project meets the standards in the Zoning Ordinance for a variance. The City has a relatively high
level of discretion with a variance because the applicant is seeking a deviation from established
standards. This is a quasi judicial decision.
The City’s discretion in approving or denying a preliminary plat is limited to whether or not the
proposed plat meets the standards outlined in the Subdivision Regulations and Zoning
Ordinance. If it meets these standards, the City must approve the preliminary plat. This is a
quasi-judicial decision.

PROPOSAL/SUMMARY
The developer is proposing to replat a 6.26 acre parcel into three lots and two outlots. One of the lots is
intended to house a multi-family building. The remaining two lots will be reserved for future housing
developments. The outlots will contain a storm pond and a portion of existing Highway 101 right-of-
way. The applicant is also requesting a site plan approval with a variance for the construction of the
multi-family building.
The site is located at the northwest intersection of the future alignment of Highways 101 and 212 and
is zoned Planned Unit Development-Mixed Use. An apartment building is a permitted use in this
district. Access to the site is gained off of the future extension of Lake Susan Drive. Utilities are
available for the area.
The three-story multi-family building with underground parking is well designed. It is situated west of
future Highway 101, north of future Highway 212 and south of the future extension of Lake Susan
Drive and will contain 48 units. The apartment building is proposed to range between one and three-
bedroom apartments. Each apartment has a deck or patio. An outdoor picnic area and a tot-lot are
located east of the building while parking is located to the west. The building will screen the majority
of the parking from views along future Highways 212 and 101. The variance associated with this
application deals with the total number of enclosed parking spaces. The overall number of parking
spaces provided for this development exceeds ordinance requirements. This issue is discussed in further
detail later in the staff report. Staff is recommending approval of the variance.
The main materials on the
building include vinyl
siding and a masonry
product shaped to mimic
stone. The masonry
product will be used along
the lower portion of the
building. The building
has a defined entryway
and an interesting roof
line. Staff has discussed
adding an element such as
a clock on the vertical
element of the building.
This will add some visual
interest to the building. The applicant is currently evaluating this option.
On June 27, 2005, the City Council approved rezoning the subject property From Residential Single
Family to Planned Unit Development-Mixed Use. The rezoning of the property also included
adoption of guidelines and standards under which this site must be developed. The proposed
building is consistent with the approved development standards.
The applicant is proposing a sidewalk between the parking lot and the building, and at the rear of the
building, leading to the tot-lot and picnic area.

Staff is recommending approval of
the subdivision and site plan with
variances subject to the conditions of
the staff report.
BACKGROUND
The applicant has met with the
Planning Commission informally at
two separate work sessions and held
a neighborhood meeting on
December 16, 2004. On January 4,
2005, the Planning Commission
reviewed and approved the Concept
PUD for the subject site. This plan
was later approved by the City
Council on January 24, 2005.
On June 27, 2005, the City Council approved rezoning the property located at the northwest
intersection of the future alignment of Highways 101 and 212 with an approximate area of 24 acres
from Residential Single Family to Planned Unit Development-Mixed Use incorporating design
standards.
The final draft layout that was arrived at reflected a residential component within the area north and
south of Lake Susan Drive with the highest density concentration facing future Highway 101.
The portion of the site located south of the future alignment of Highway 212 consists of a mix of
commercial and residential uses. In this instance, the residential part encompasses the western portion
of the site while the commercial part occupies the remainder of the site, and faces Highways 101, 212,
and Lyman Boulevard.

The current proposal is for platting of the north site and site plan approval of the apartment building.
ANALYSIS
GENERAL SITE PLAN/ARCHITECTURE
The development must comply with the Development Design Standards for Chanhassen Gateway
(attached). A PUD is required to be developed to higher quality than other projects.
The main building material consists of vinyl siding and a masonry product shaped to mimic stone. The
masonry product will be used along the lower portion of the building. The building has a defined
entryway, and interesting roof line.
All four sides of the building have been given equal attention. The architecture provides visual interest
and meets the standards of Chanhassen Gateway design standards.
Parking for residents of
the building is located
underground. The
apartment building is
proposed to range
between one and three-
bedroom apartments.
Each apartment has a
deck.
The roof line provides a
variety in pitch while the
building provides variety
in height, articulation and
materials.
The proposed building
maintains a minimum
setback of 50 feet from
future Highways 101 and
212 right-of-way. The
city code requires a
minimum setback of 30
feet from local or interior
public right-of-way. The
building maintains a 30-
foot setback from future
Lake Susan Drive right-
of-way with the
exception of the
northeast corner of the building which appears to slightly encroach in the required setback. Staff
Chanhassen Gateway Place, LLC
Planning Case No. 06-05

believes this is a minor adjustment that can easily be corrected. The building is proposed to maintain
an average height of 34.7 feet. The PUD ordinance allows a maximum height of 35 feet.
The tot-lot and picnic area are proposed to be screened by a fence and landscaping. Staff has no
objection to this request; however, additional information must be submitted pertaining to the height
and materials used for the fence. The trash enclosure is located inside the building in the
underground parking lot.
LIGHTING/SIGNAGE
The applicant has not prepared a lighting plan for the proposed development. All light fixtures shall
comply with the following criteria:
1. Lighting for the interior of the development shall be consistent throughout the development.
High pressure sodium vapor lamps with decorative natural colored pole shall be used throughout
the development parking lot area for lighting. Decorative, pedestrian-scale lighting shall be used
in plaza and sidewalk areas and may be used in parking lot areas.
2. Light fixtures should be kept to a pedestrian scale (12 to 18 feet). Street light fixtures should
accommodate vertical banners for use in identifying the commercial area.
3. All light fixtures shall be shielded. Light level for site lighting shall be no more than one-half
foot candle at the project perimeter property line. This does not apply to street lighting.
4. Lighting for parking areas shall minimize the use of lights on pole standards in the parking area.
Emphasis should be placed on building lights and poles located in close proximity to buildings.
The applicant is showing entrance signage located east of the entrance into the site. No details have
been provided for the sign. One monument sign shall be permitted at the entrance to the
development off of Lake Susan Drive. The sign shall not exceed 24 square feet in sign display area
nor be greater than five feet in height. The sign shall be set back a minimum of 10 feet from the
property line.

WATER RESOURCES
Storm Water Management
Details on the storm sewer connections to proposed Lake Susan Drive and proposed TH 212 should
be provided. An emergency overflow for the proposed pond should be illustrated. The applicant
should submit a routing plan for any pond overflows from the site to a public water body. The storm
water pond should be platted in an outlot.
Easements
Drainage and utility easements (minimum 20 feet in width) should be provided over all storm water
infrastructure, including any emergency overflow structures.
Erosion and Sediment Control
All exposed soil areas should have temporary erosion protection or permanent cover year round,
according to the following table of slopes and time frames:
Type of Slope Time (Maximum time an area can
Steeper than 3:1 7 days remain open when the area
10:1 to 3:1 14 days is not actively being worked.)
Flatter than 10:1 21 days
These areas include constructed storm water management pond side slopes, and any exposed soil
areas with a positive slope to a storm water conveyance system, such as a curb and gutter system,
storm sewer inlet, temporary or permanent drainage ditch or other natural or man made systems that
discharge to a surface water.
The plans should be revised to show rock construction entrance installation per Chanhassen Detail
Plate 5301.
Wimco or similar inlet protection should be installed at all inlets that may receive storm water from
the site per Chanhassen Detail Plate 5302A. All inlet protection must be inspected and maintained to
comply with NPDES requirements.
Street cleaning of soil tracked onto public streets should include daily street scraping and street
sweeping as needed.
Temporary stabilization of the exposed area should include a straw or hay cover at a rate of 2 tons
per acre, disc anchored into the soil, including the area around the apartment building. To minimize
tracking and erosion around the apartment building during construction, temporary cover of straw or
wood chips should be placed around the building in amounts sufficient to control rutting.
The plans should be revised to show a concrete washout area, BMPs for containment and potential
stockpile locations. Silt fence (Chanhassen Type 1) is needed around the north and east side of the
pond within 24 hours of permanent outlet installation. The plans should be revised to show inlet
protection for sediment during construction for the trench drain at the garage and should include a
detail.

Surface Water Management Fees
All applicable water quantity and quality fees have been paid.
Other Agencies
The applicant should apply for and obtain permits from the appropriate regulatory agencies (e.g., Riley-
Purgatory-Bluff Creek Watershed District, Minnesota Pollution Control Agency (NPDES Phase II
Construction Permit), Minnesota Department of Natural Resources (for dewatering)) and comply with
their conditions of approval.
GRADING/DRAINAGE/EROSION CONTROL
The existing site is about 7.73 acres in size and almost 100% of the area will be graded by MnDOT
for the extension of the proposed Lake Susan Drive and by the applicant. The proposal includes
three lots and an outlot. The current plans show an apartment building with underground parking.
The applicant is proposing to grade the site to prepare the building pad, parking lot, and stormwater
ponding areas. The parking lot and building drainage will be collected by a system of catch basins
within the parking lot and conveyed by storm sewers to the proposed pond in the southwest corner of
the site. The plans show a catch basin at the low point in the northwest corner of the building
connecting to a proposed storm sewer within Lake Susan Drive. The developer must coordinate this
design with MnDOT to ensure that the storm sewer in Lake Susan Drive is adequately sized for the
additional runoff. The proposed pond outlet control structure discharges to the proposed Highway
212 storm sewer. Staff recommends that the storm sewer connect to the existing pipe, or the
distance between the proposed outlet and the existing pipe be increased. The applicant must obtain
MnDOT approval for this proposal.
A public drainage and utility easement is required over the proposed pond. This easement shall
cover the pond up to the 100-year high water elevation. The applicant has submitted pond sizing
calculations for a 10- and 100-year, 24-hour storm event; minor revisions are necessary. The pond
must be built to National Urban Runoff Program (NURP) standards in accordance with the City's
Surface Water Management Plan (SWMP) and must satisfy the requirements of MPCA’s phase 2
design standards. Storm sewer sizing calculations with a full-size map for a 10-year, 24-hour storm
event are required.
Proposed erosion control consists of silt fence along the east and south grading limits of the site.
Staff is recommending that Type II, heavy-duty silt fence be used adjacent to all ponds and wetlands
and extending Type I silt fence to the north along the west side. A rock construction entrance is
proposed at the access off proposed Lake Susan Drive, but it must be minimum 75 feet long. All
disturbed areas as a result of construction, must be seeded and mulched or sodded immediately after
grading to minimize erosion. The applicant should be aware that any off-site grading will require an
easement from the appropriate property owner. If importing or exporting material for development
of the site is necessary, the applicant will be required to supply the City with detailed haul routes.
The applicant must be aware that any retaining wall exceeding four feet in height must be designed
by a registered structural engineer, with approved safety fence. A building permit from the City's
Building Inspections Dept. must be obtained.
Chanhassen Gateway Place, LLC
Planning Case No. 06-05
February 7, 2006
Page 8 of 18
The applicant is required to obtain all necessary permits from the appropriate regulatory agencies
including but not limited to MnDOT, Watershed District, MPCA, NPDES, etc.
UTILITIES
The site has access to public sanitary sewer and watermain from the proposed Lake Susan Drive and
existing Highway 101. The developer proposes to wet tap the watermain within Highway 101,
extend it to the east along the south side of the proposed Lake Susan Drive to serve the proposed
building and the lots in the future phase. The watermain within the public street right-of-way will be
a public utility. A private sanitary sewer service to the proposed building will be extended from the
existing sanitary manhole within the proposed Lake Susan Drive extension at the northeast corner of
Lot 1, Block 2. The installation of the private utilities for the site will require permits and
inspections through the City’s Building Department. An additional gate valve is needed for the
north future phase (Lot 1, Block 1) private watermain.
The underlying property has been assessed for sewer, water, and street improvements and there is no
remaining assessment due payable to the City. The applicant has already paid off all SAC and
sanitary and water hook-up fees.
All of the utility improvements are required to be constructed in accordance with the City’s latest
edition of Standard Specifications and Detail Plates. Upon completion of the public utility
improvements, the utilities will be turned over to the City for maintenance and ownership. The
applicant is also required to enter into a development contract with the City and supply the necessary
financial security in the form of a letter of credit or cash escrow to guarantee installation of the
improvements and the conditions of final plat approval. Permits from the appropriate regulatory
agencies will have to be obtained, including but not limited to the MPCA, Department of Health,
Watershed District, Carver County, MnDOT, etc.
STREETS
The plans propose three full accesses off the proposed Lake Susan Drive, two to serve Lots 1 and 2,
Block 2 and one to serve Lot 1, Block 1. No public streets are proposed in conjunction with this
project. MnDOT proposes to extend Lake Susan Drive from existing Highway 101 to the proposed
Highway 101 realignment. The timing of the Lake Susan Drive extension is unknown; therefore, the
applicant must coordinate the proposed construction access with MnDOT. A temporary access of
existing Highway 101 may be required. The proposed northwest full access of Lot 2, Block 2 must
be realigned so that it is perpendicular with the existing Highway 101 and Lake Susan Drive
intersection. The applicant must be aware that the MnDOT right-of-way turnback issue will not be
resolved before this is platted. Also, the applicant must show a sidewalk connection between the
south and north sides of the proposed Lake Susan Drive.
PARKING
The PUD governing this proposal requires parking to meet the City Code requirements. Parking
plans meet ordinance standards as to dimensions and total provided. Under the multi-family section
of the ordinance, the applicant must provide 1½ parking spaces per one-bedroom unit, one of which
must be enclosed, and two stalls for two-bedroom units and larger, 1½ of which must be enclosed.
Chanhassen Gateway Place, LLC
Planning Case No. 06-05
February 7, 2006
Page 9 of 18
The applicant is proposing 4 one-bedroom units, 27 two-bedroom units, and 17 three-bedroom units.
The ordinance also requires one visitor parking stall for every four dwelling units. The applicant is
proposing 48 dwelling units which would translate to 12 visitor parking spaces
The total enclosed parking required is 70. The applicant is providing 61 enclosed spaces. The
enclosed parking spaces equate to one parking space per one bedroom unit and 1.295 parking spaces
per two bedroom or larger unit. The total above-ground parking spaces required is 36 spaces. The
applicant is providing 47surface parking spaces. The total number of parking spaces required for
this development is 106. The applicant is providing 108. Even though the total number of spaces
provided by this development exceeds ordinance requirements, the total number of underground
parking is short 9 spaces. The applicant is requesting a variance from the enclosed parking
requirement. If the variance is not approved, the plans would need to be revised to meet ordinance
requirements. In that case, a condition can be added that reads “The underground parking plans must
be revised to provide 9 additional spaces for a total of 70 enclosed parking spaces.”

The applicant meets all landscaping requirements.
Staff recommends that the applicant replace the Colorado blue spruce specified on the landscape
plan with an alternate species of spruce or evergreen such as white spruce, Black Hills spruce, or
white fir. Colorado blue spruce tends to become unsightly with age due to disease problems.
TRAILS AND SIDEWALKS
Maintaining and creating new pedestrian/bicycle routes to the subject site is very important. The
construction of new Highway 101 will include the installation of a 10-foot trail along the east side of
the highway. In conjunction with the construction of Highway 212, trails will be installed from
Great Plains Boulevard to Lyman Boulevard, and along the north side of Lyman Boulevard.
Appropriate and adequate internal sidewalk connections are planned to allow convenient and safe
non-vehicular traffic throughout the site. Park dedication is not being required as part of the
approval. Park dedication fees were prepaid with the application.
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
Chanhassen Gateway Place, LLC
Planning Case No. 06-05
February 7, 2006
Page 11 of 18
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:
Subject to the revisions contained in the staff report, the proposed site plan is
consistent with all plans and specifications and development design standards for the
Chanhassen Gateway PUD Development Design Standards.
VARIANCE FINDINGS
The Board of Adjustments and Appeals shall not recommend and the City Council shall not grant a
variance unless they find the following facts:
a. That the literal enforcement of this chapter would cause an undue hardship. Undue hardship
means that the property cannot be put to reasonable use because of its size, physical
surroundings, shape or topography. Reasonable use includes a use made by a majority of
comparable property within 500 feet of it. The intent of this provision is not to allow a
proliferation of variances, but to recognize that there are pre-existing standards in this
neighborhood. Variances that blend with these pre-existing standards without departing
downward from them meet these criteria.
Finding:
The literal enforcement of this chapter does cause an undue hardship. Due to the
configuration of the housing being proposed, the requirement of 1.5 enclosed stalls per two-
bedroom unit is not possible. In order to meet the ordinance standard, the applicant would have
to convert 18 of the two and three-bedroom units to one bedroom units. The total number of
required parking spaces is being met, only the location, enclosed vs. surface, is being altered.
With a park and ride facility located across Highway 101 and south of the site within walking
distance of the site, the potential for the use of mass transit is high.
b. The conditions upon which a petition for a variance is based are not applicable, generally, to
other property within the same zoning classification.
Finding:
The conditions upon which this variance is based are not applicable to all properties
that lie within the Planned Unit Development (PUD) District. PUDs may provide flexibility in
the standards in an effort to meet comprehensive plan policies for the creation of diversified
housing.
c. The purpose of the variation is not based upon a desire to increase the value or income potential
of the parcel of land.

Finding:
The proposed variance is necessary to accommodate the proposed building within the
constraints of the site. Parking in excess of the minimum requirements is being proposed. Only
the number of enclosed parking spaces is being reduced.
d. The alleged difficulty or hardship is not a self-created hardship.
Finding:
The proposed variance is necessary to accommodate the proposed building within the
constraints of the site. The proposed unit types meet standards the city is encouraging: two and
three-bedroom rental units.
e. The granting of the variance will not be detrimental to the public welfare or injurious to other
land or improvements in the neighborhood in which the parcel is located.
Finding:
The granting of a variance will not be detrimental to the public welfare or injurious to
other land or improvements in the neighborhood in which the parcel is located.
f. The proposed variation will not impair an adequate supply of light and air to adjacent property
or substantially increase the congestion of the public streets or increase the danger of fire or
endanger the public safety or substantially diminish or impair property values within the
neighborhood.
Finding:
The proposed variation will not impair an adequate supply of light and air to adjacent
property or substantially increase the congestion of the public streets.

1.1 acres and is proposed to remain vacant at the present time. The Concept Plan showed a townhouse
development on this lot.
Lot 1, Block 2 has an area of 2.19 acres and is proposed to house the apartment building that is being
reviewed concurrently with this subdivision request.

Page 13 of 18
Outlot B is currently a portion of Highway
101. The west one-half right-of-way for
Highway 101 was acquired via the
Chanhassen Hills plats and MnDOT’s
purchase of “Parcel 267” from James A.
Curry as shown on MnDOT Right-of-Way
Map Number 10-18. Highway 101 is being
realigned to the east; therefore the portion of
the existing Highway 101 adjacent to this plat
will be removed and the right-of-way vacated.
Since “Parcel 267” was not platted right-of-
way, this vacated right-of-way has been
turned back to the underlying property, in this
case, the parent property of the Gateway
project.
The property is zoned Planned Unit
Development-Mixed Use. Access to the site is
gained via Lake Susan Drive.
Staff notes that the proposal is consistent with
the Comprehensive Plan and generally consistent with the Zoning Ordinance.

GATEWAY NORTH
property into three lots and two outlots () and a Site Plan request with
GATEWAY PLACE
variances for the construction of a multifamily building () – Planning Case
No. 06-05
On February 7, 2006, the Chanhassen Planning Commission met at its regularly scheduled
meeting to consider the application of Chanhassen Gateway Place, LLC for Preliminary Plat to
subdivide property into three lots and two outlots and a Site Plan request with variances for the
construction of a multi-family building for the property located at the northwest intersection of the
future alignment of Highways 101 and 212. The Planning Commission conducted a public
hearing on the proposed subdivision preceded by published and mailed notice. The Planning
Commission heard testimony from all interested persons wishing to speak and now makes the
following:
FINDINGS OF FACT
1.The property is currently zoned PUD, Planned Unit Development – Mixed Use.
2.The property is guided in the Land Use Plan Mixed Use development.
3.The legal description of the property is attached as exhibit A.
4.The Subdivision Ordinance directs the Planning Commission to consider seven possible
adverse affects of the proposed subdivision. The seven (7) affects and our findings regarding
them are:
a.The proposed subdivision is consistent with the zoning ordinance;
b.The proposed subdivision is consistent with all applicable city, county and regional plans
including but not limited to the city's comprehensive plan;
c.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;
d.The proposed subdivision makes adequate provision for water supply, storm drainage,
sewage disposal, streets, erosion control and all other improvements required by this
chapter;
e.The proposed subdivision will not cause environmental damage;
1
f.The proposed subdivision will not conflict with easements of record, but shall provide all
new required easements.
g.The proposed subdivision is not premature. A subdivision is premature if any of the
following exists:
1.Lack of adequate storm water drainage.
2.Lack of adequate roads.
3.Lack of adequate sanitary sewer systems.
4.Lack of adequate off-site public improvements or support systems.
5.In evaluating a site plan and building plan, the city shall consider the development's
compliance with the following:
a. 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;
b. Consistency with this division;
c. 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;
d. 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;
e. Creation of functional and harmonious design for structures and site features, with special
attention to the following:
1. 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;
2. The amount and location of open space and landscaping;
3. 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
4. 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.
f. 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.
2
6.The Board of Adjustments and Appeals shall not recommend and the City Council shall not
grant a variance unless they find the following facts:
a. That the literal enforcement of this chapter would cause an undue hardship. Undue hardship
means that the property cannot be put to reasonable use because of its size, physical
surroundings, shape or topography. Reasonable use includes a use made by a majority of
comparable property within 500 feet of it. The intent of this provision is not to allow a
proliferation of variances, but to recognize that there are pre-existing standards in this
neighborhood. Variances that blend with these pre-existing standards without departing
downward from them meet these criteria.
b. The conditions upon which a petition for a variance is based are not applicable, generally, to
other property within the same zoning classification.
c. The purpose of the variation is not based upon a desire to increase the value or income
potential of the parcel of land.
d. The alleged difficulty or hardship is not a self-created hardship.
e. The granting of the variance will not be detrimental to the public welfare or injurious to
other land or improvements in the neighborhood in which the parcel is located.
f. The proposed variation will not impair an adequate supply of light and air to adjacent
property or substantially increase the congestion of the public streets or increase the danger
of fire or endanger the public safety or substantially diminish or impair property values
within the neighborhood.
7.The planning report #06-05, dated February 7, 2006, prepared by Sharmeen Al-Jaff, et al, is
incorporated herein.
RECOMMENDATION
The Planning Commission recommends that the City Council approve the Preliminary
Plat and Site Plan with a variance for reduction in the number of enclosed parking spaces.
