Re: Christensen Subdivision - Planning Case No. 05-44
Dear Mr. Christensen:
This letter is to confirm that on January 23, 2006, the City Council adopted the
following motion:
"The City Council approves the preliminary plat for Planning Case 05-44 for
Christensen Subdivision for two lots with variances to allow two flag lots as shown
on the plans dated "Received December 2, 2005", subject to the following conditions:
1. A minimum of one tree (2 Yz" diameter) is required in the front yard of each
lot.
2. All areas outside of the grading limits shall be protected by tree preservation
fencing. Fencing shall be installed prior to grading and excavation for homes
on each lot and located at the dripline or beyond whenever possible. Any
trees shown as preserved that are removed or damaged shall be replaced at a
rate of 2: 1 diameter inches.
3. Silt fence shall be installed along the grading limits along the east edge of the
site from the north property line to the rock construction entrance. Two silt
fences shall be installed in "smiles" perpendicular to the flow line upstream of
the 18" CMP leaving the site to slow the water and prevent discharge of
sediment from the site.
4. Street cleaning of soil tracked onto public streets shall include daily street
scraping and street sweeping as needed.
5. Based on the proposed developed area of approximately 1.05 acres, the water
quality fees associated with this project are $1,680; the water quantity fees are
approximately $3,045. At this time, the estimated total SWMP fee, due payable
to the City at the time of final plat recording, is $4,725.00.

changes must be incorporated into the plans:
a. All plans must be signed by a Professional Engineer registered in the State

The City of Chanhassen · A growing community with clean lakes, quality schools, a charming downtown, thriving businesses, winding trails, and beautiful parks. A great place to live, work, and play.
