City Council Meeting - February 27, 2006
recommendation because knowing that that might be out there, I couldn't see moving forward
with either of these two this evening. Other thoughts or are people consistent with that or is
there?
Councilman Peterson: Well I mean Kate, do you think that there's value in getting you guys
some time to continue pursuing or do you think?
Kate Aanenson: Yes, be happy to meet with Mr. Bangasser. Come up with some other
solutions.
Mayor Furlong: With the extent that we've got some newer information, let's dig into it and
let's make sure that everybody understands what's available and maybe there's an opportunity
~re. .
Councilman Peterson: Motion to table.
Councilman Lundquist: Second.
Mayor Furlong: Made and seconded. Any further discussion?
Councilman Peterson moved, Councilman Lundquist seconded to table the request for
hard surface coverage and two front yard setback variances to construct a 3 stall garage at
3633 South Cedar Drive. All voted in favor and the motion carried unanimously with a
vote of 4 to O.
GA TEW A Y NORTHlGA TEW A Y PLACE, NORTHWEST INTERSECTION OF
HIGHWAY 101 AND FUTURE HIGHWAY 212, APPLICANT, CHANHASSEN
GA TEW A Y PLACE, LLC: REQUEST TO SUBDIVIDE 6.2 ACRES INTO 3 LOTS AND
1 OUTLOT AND SITE PLAN WITH VARIANCES FOR THE CONSTRUCTION OF A
MULTIFAMILY BUILDING.
Kate Aanenson: Thank you. I have a few exhibits here. This is the subject site. We talked
about this most recently in your work session. The new 1011212, so this application includes a
couple of things. One, the subdivision. Creating a parcel, a lot for this to be built on. And then
also site plan approval with a variance. In your staff report we went through the history of this
property, this area in itself. We did a PUD for the entire piece. Again the property's actually on
both sides of the new 212. The property that we're talking about specifically is this piece right
here with the apartment building. When we did this PUD it was always anticipated that that
would be apartment building. On the property immediately to the west will come in at a future
date. This property right here is being built by the Sand Company. As I indicated, this will be
the one lot that will be built on. It's, the building itself will be 47 units and will include
multifamily, excuse me. 48 apartments and will include 2 and 3 bedroom units. In the
architecture itself, where we looked at putting this again, while we looked at the apartment
building in this location, the fact that it's close to the park and ride we felt had a lot of benefits.
A nice transition as you come from the 101. Easy access. Some of the issues that we changed in
the staff report, which I know the applicants have some disdain with is the sidewalk being built
18
City Council Meeting - February 27, 2006
now along Lake Susan. We want the continuous sidewalk, even though they're not coming in on
this phase. That will actually tie into the sidewalk along current 101, which will provide access
to those properties. I want to talk about the plat.. . architecture first. So there's actually 3, 4 lots
being created. Sorry. So with the plat itself, while this does require storm water pond, this is a
project, can you zoom in on that a pinch. So this is the subject site so these are the lots that are
being created. This will be future townhouse sites. This is the sidewalk I'm talking about.
Taking it into the existing trail. This is going to be a storm water pond. Future residential on the
north side abutting the Klingelhutz property, and there's also some additional right-of-way that's
being dedicated with the new 10 1. One of the things we talked about with this ponding, on the
southern area too, working that out with the Lake Riley improvements, but this project itself and
it's ponding that will be built now to accommodate, also accommodate this future development.
So that's the plat in and of itself. Again the preliminary plat starts on page 12 of the staff report.
There's findings with the subdivision located at that section of the project. Now about the site
plan in and of itself. Again we're looking at the orientation. We wanted this to be a highly
articulated building so we worked hard on the orientation of the building. Access. We worked
that with Lake Susan Drive. Temporarily this, as we talked about earlier in the work session,
101 will not be constructed before this is done so it will have access coming off of old 101 until
that switch is made, so they will have to provide and work with MnDot on the improvements on
Lake Susan and giving access to that. Again the timing of this is related to the funding that we
received tonight and being able to use those dollars. There is required underground parking with
this project and that's addressed in the staff report. Because it is 2 and 3 bedroom units and a
highly articulated building, there are 61 enclosed spaces. It does require 70 because of the
number of units, 2 and 3 bedrooms in the staff report on page 9, we go through the requirements
that we feel that the parking was adequate, and we are recommending approval of the variance.
The overall parking, including surface parking. Surface parking lot parking would exceed the
requirements so we're comfortable with that. There is some fencing that will be required along
this side. We have the plans for that. The landscaping which we think again provides a nice
mitigation. Now I'd just like to talk a little bit about architecture available. And so there's two
difference colors on there, the tan and the beige. Again we think it's a highly articulated
building. With the height in itself with the traffic on 101, again we believe that should provide
mitigation for noise. They are also required, you know they'll have air conditioning and the likes
of that as we looked at some other projects will provide the noise mitigation but the visual aspect
we think is, because it's the material mix and the detail on the building, that it's highly
articulated and will fit, be a nice compliment to the area. So we are recommending approval of
the site plan itself and the conditions for that as well as the variance for the parking requirements
are also found in the staff report. So with that, if there's any questions I'd be happy to answer
them. Otherwise we are recommending approval of the preliminary plat and site plan with
variances as found in the staff report starting on page 14. And I'd be happy to answer any
questions you have.
Mayor Furlong: Thank you. Questions for staff.
Councilman Peterson: Kate would you, I hate to make you take things off the table but one of
the first drawings you had was kind of the whole area. Could you spend a little bit of time and
just kind of walking through what's adjacent to all of this.
19
City Council Meeting - February 27, 2006
Kate Aanenson: As you recall the park and ride is located in this facility. 600 deck park and
ride and then there will be some residential, and then also be some commercial. So that's on the
west side of the new 101, which is moving over. This is current 101. It's moving over. So with
that, there was with the PUD some other commercial office shown in this area that's being
developed by another developer, and again this is one of those areas that's under study. They
may want to do some other things as part of.. . group looking at that area itself. Then the rest of
this.
Councilman Peterson: Before you go off of that, to the far west there, what's the intent?
Kate Aanenson: Over here?
Councilman Peterson: Yeah.
Kate Aanenson: There's a pond and that's the pond I was talking about.
Councilman Peterson: No, the building. Is that, is that commercial too?
Kate Aanenson: This?
Councilman Peterson: Yeah.
Kate Aanenson: This is actually an apartment building and that's something that the other...
that's looking at that property may want to change that. This is the one area of the city, well
actually there's two areas that we have this mixed use development. So it can have commercial
or residential. As proposed in the PUD when the Sand Company came through, they actually put
that in there. That doesn't mean it can't change to something else under that PUD but would
have to amend the PUD, and we felt we didn't have enough information about additional
commercial until we finished this site so we've asked them to wait before we change it, to be
consistent with what we've told other people that want to change to more commercial. So there
is a storm water pond over here. That's one that we will have the developer do as part of the
Lake Riley improvements. So we've got the park and ride. We also just rezoned this property
right here to do twin homes and we just recently approved that. And then you've got the
Springfield neighborhood here. So we worked hard with the, and you'll be seeing the park and
ride development coming shortly, probably in the next couple months to come in with that, to
work with the neighbors in putting those PUD' s together. So the rest of this will be coming in in
the future. One of the other concerns that we had is, you know how do we make this piece work
with the rest of the property to the north, the Klingelhutz property because there will be access
via 101 going to the north. So whether you have additional access coming in here, these two
parcels tie together so that's something that we'll be working with the developer on and trying to
make sense of how that lays out instead of having a little narrow piece. So right now, this is the
project that we're working on but all this area will be changing as 212 comes in and the
extension of Lake Susan. Again the lower density, what we looked at in the PUD to blend, make
that transition between existing Lake Susan and moving up towards the apartments. And then
with the 212 it creates a natural buffer where you've got the 212 kind of provides that break
20
City Council Meeting - February 27, 2006
between the residential there so it's kind of a different feel with kind of that 3 quarter lot on 3
collectors. 101, Lyman and 212. So that's kind of the super area.
Councilman Peterson: Okay, thanks.
Kate Aanenson: Yeah, and I was just going to say too, again you see the proximity to the park
and ride and then some convenience commercial which we thought, that's why we wanted to
connect back up to that trail to get back under the 212, provide access for those folks to get to
convenience commercial.
Councilwoman Tjornhom: So this area doesn't have to wait for the market study?
Kate Aanenson: This apartment?
Councilwoman Tjornhom: Right, all the building's we're talking about.
Kate Aanenson: No, because that's all residential. The only one that we ask to wait is anybody
that wanted to change to more commercial. That was, those were the ones who we're asking to
wait til the study's completed. Otherwise if they have their zoning in place, then if it's consistent
if they're asking for a change, then we would ask them to wait.
Mayor Furlong: Any other questions Councilwoman Tjornhom? Councilman Lundquist?
Councilman Lundquist: Kate, on the parking spaces. Where do we use, the guideline that we
used for the number of spaces per unit, and the number of bedrooms. What's the basis for that?
Kate Aanenson: Well, you know when we updated the city code, that isn't something that we
looked at and we probably should have. It may be antiquated. The way it works right now is
there's 61, for example on this project there'd be 61. They're not necessarily assigned to any
unit. They're kind of separately leased so if you've got someone that only wants 1 and there's
more available, so we believe within that there's probably plenty to go around if somebody
wanted 2 or 3, it would work internally. That they would solve that through the management
itself. Most of these units are geared for the 3 bedrooms, for young families so we don't believe
we should have a problem with more than 1 or 2 cars per unit.
Councilman Lundquist: So each unit gets at least 1 and the other ones are first go first serve?
Kate Aanenson: Correct, and that's, right. If they don't use them, they'd be offered to
somebody else that would, right.
Councilman Lundquist: And the engineering and cost required to get to that 70, as you said in
your staff report is a significant piece to be getting?
Kate Aanenson: Correct, and they have some concerns with that. The sidewalk along the
existing Lake Susan, is that what you're talking about? Correct.
21
City Council Meeting - February 27, 2006
Councilman Lundquist: Well, to make the building big enough to get the 70...
Mayor Furlong: To avoid the variance.
Kate Aanenson: Right, I think that's, it's pretty onerous. We don't really have that many 3
bedroom units in the city. And I think it would be onerous. I'm not sure, we really don't have a
parking problem with underground parking. A lot of the units that we already have it's never
been a problem and even when you have 2 bedrooms with 2 drivers, I don't see that as a
problem.
Councilman Lundquist: Okay.
Mayor Furlong: I guess to follow up on that line of questioning with the parking, by your
comments here, should we be reviewing those requirements?
Kate Aanenson: Yes.
Mayor Furlong: Would we expect those same requirements of someone else elsewhere in the
city or would we also say that's too onerous?
Kate Aanenson: I think we need to re-evaluate that and we've got that on our punch list of
things to re-evaluate in the city code because we didn't when we updated it, look at that.
Mayor Furlong: Based on what you know now and maybe this has not been looked at yet, and so
that's fine. Are our standards similar to surrounding communities?
Kate Aanenson: Yeah, and I think you also you have to look at type of product. Amenities. If
you're looking at a luxury condo, maybe it'd be different. If you're looking at, again this is next
to transit so we're anticipating that there might be more ridership, so I think that was some of our
rationale too for the variance but we will look at the surrounding communities standards and
what we have to date.
Mayor Furlong: Okay. And well, that's a question for the applicant so I'll wait for them. Good,
thank you. Any other questions for staff at this time? Okay, thank you. Is the applicant here
this evening? Would you like to address the council on any matter?
Jamie Thelen: My name is Jamie Thelen with Gateway Place, and we went through the staff
review and we're okay with everything, all the conditions. We just do have one request on the
map that we have here. We're putting in the sidewalk in orange. That has been added which
makes a lot of sense to connect to the 4 way at future 101 and Lake Susan Drive. And we're also
making a connection to the north to cover people coming from the north side too, which is fine.
We would make one request, the highlighted area in yellow is not in front of our property at all
and we would request that that would be delayed as not part of our project. What we would be
willing to do if, we do understand that it's tough to tell how far out townhomes are and it's an
important sidewalk, we think it is. We just request that if the site, if there's no site plan in
review by the time we're getting ready to get a Certificate of Occupancy, that we put that
22
City Council Meeting - February 27, 2006
sidewalk in at that point. If something, if they come in right after us for the townhomes, that that
would be required for their site plan because we are putting a pretty extensive sidewalk system
already on our property so we, that's one request we would like to make.
Mayor Furlong: Just so I understand your request, you're saying don't require that unless there
isn't a site plan for that property at the time that you go for Certificate, and then you would put it
in at that point.
Jamie Thelen: Yeah.
Kate Aanenson: You have about a one year construction, is what you're saying?
Jamie Thelen: Yeah, we'd be looking at opening up basically the same time as Lake Susan
Drive, which is probably in July. June-July of 2007 so, somewhere in that range. We're about
12 months of construction. And we do understand that it's important to have that sidewalk. It
makes sense. It does connect. We would just ask you know, we're putting in quite a bit already
in front of our property just, this is quite a bit off our site and if we could have, then we could put
that in the development agreement if you'd be open to that. Otherwise we're okay with all of the
conditions.
Paul Oehme: That's fine. I guess if maybe just a letter of credit, just so we have the assurance
that it will go in.
Kate Aanenson: Yeah, I'll work with the attorney's office to figure something out to get that
security or understanding.
Jamie Thelen: Yep as part of our development agreement we have to put together a letter of
credit for the public improvements and we can just include that in there.
Mayor Furlong: And it would be your request that if that property develops or if there's a site
plan for it, that that sidewalk be a condition of that.
Jamie Thelen: That is correct.
Mayor Furlong: And is that something staff that we would be reasonable?
Paul Oehme: I think we can work with them.
Mayor Furlong: Okay.
Jamie Thelen: Otherwise I have nothing else.
Mayor Furlong: So I don't know that we need, so that would be a matter for the development
contract, but I think that's on our agenda this evening. So we may want to hold on that, is that
correct? Or is it not?
23
. City Council Meeting - February 27, 2006
Kate Aanenson: So they'll come back.
Todd Gerhardt: This is site plan.
Mayor Furlong: This is just site plan, okay.
Kate Aanenson: ...and typically those are our concern. We'll put that language in there.
Mayor Furlong: That was an earlier matter on the agenda, the development contract so this
wouldn't affect any of the conditions at this point? Something that we could work out with the
development contract. Okay. I just had a quick question, if I could, and I don't know if
anybody, does anybody else have a question for the applicant? With regard to the parking, and
as I looked at, based upon the shape of the building, the footprint of the building, you have
angles. You have a right, 90 degree curve. To me that's got to affect the availability of
underground parking space, based upon the architecture of the shape of the building. Is that
correct?
Jamie Thelen: Yeah, I'll let Richard, our architect talk a little bit about that because we, as soon
as we saw the requirement he actually did some other layouts, more efficient layout of a straight
building which we don't want to do and you wouldn't want to see and it's pretty nearly
impossible to meet that requirement.
Mayor Furlong: Okay, there's my answer.
Councilman Peterson: Just what Craig wanted to see.
Councilman Peterson: Yep.
Councilman Lundquist: And you didn't come forward with this first.
Richard Hennings: maybe not the politically correct thing to do but when that comment came
up, and I was concerned that why can't we get as much parking in this building as we should
here. So it struck me that an exercise of just drawing a box that couldn't be more efficient then
that rectangle, and that box then consists of another 48 unit apartment building with a common
mix of apartments. 1 bedroom, 2 bedroom and 3 bedroom and you end up with a box, you can
see 64 by 330 feet long. And then allocating just kind of minimum space for the stairways and
the lobby and elevator space in that garage, you can see I end up with 62 parking spaces in that
one so slightly better than the stretched out building, but what I think that tells you is that
anybody that's going to do a 3 story building with underground parking is going to have trouble
meeting your parking requirement. And I first thought, like you said Kate, that it was onerous to
put a lot of 3 bedrooms in, but I actually looked at the situation with 1 bedrooms, because they
get so much narrower, it doesn't get better. It actually gets worst so the only way you'd meet
this requirement is if the basement space were considerably bigger than the upper floor space,
and that's not an impossible design but it's not the design we look for in this building so.
24
City Council Meeting - February 27,2006
Kate Aanenson: I just want to clarify too from the findings of fact that was one of the basis
points that we put in there, because you were concerned about applying this to somewhere else.
Kind of we had the discussion earlier. One of the findings of the variance was that based on the
shape of the building.
Mayor Furlong: Okay, thank you. Any other follow up questions at this point? If not, thoughts
and comments. Council discussion.
Councilman Peterson: You know I was the one that pushed hard to kind of set the tone to get
something that was distinctive and certainly articulated, and I think they've met that challenge
and I applaud both architect and staff for working together to make that happen so I'm pleased
with the way the building has come to fruition in it's look and feel. I think the conditions that
staff has got in there to continue tweaking, you know are appropriate. I think the sidewalk issue
I think it sounds like a reasonable request personally. And I think we should move ahead.
Mayor Furlong: Thank you. Other thoughts?
Councilwoman Tjornhom: I think it's a good building and a good location and yeah.
Mayor Furlong: Thank you.
Councilman Lundquist: I would agree with Councilman Peterson also. Think the building
works well in that spot with the transit and the access right there. Some mixed use on that so
getting a good application of using zoning to create an area that fits well together and then
planning that goes along with that so, looking forward to moving ahead.
Mayor Furlong: Thank you. My comments would be similar. I think it is a well designed
building. It looks nice and I think it will look nice as, and provide a nice entryway as people
enter into the city off of Highway 212. Coming off the intersection there. I certainly like the
shape of this building versus the alternative A that we saw this evening. And some thought went
into it. Both in terms of the design and the color and what they're doing in terms of providing a,
some different housing products as well to our city, so I think that's a positive as well. And it's,
there's going to be a lot of development in this area but to Councilman Lundquist's comments,
there's a lot of thought and coordinated effort going on all around this area and I think that's
great and I think it's going to be something that everybody will be proud of as well, so I certainly
support this project. Any other comments? If not, we have a motion starting on page 14 of the
staff report. 432 of our electronic packet, if somebody would like to make a motion.
Councilwoman Tjornhom: I make a motion the City Council approve the preliminary plat for

COUNCIL PRESENT A TIONS:
Mayor Furlong: Any discussion on council presentations this evening? Just a quick comment as
a follow up to a previous work session item where we talked about legislative initiatives and
priorities. We have arranged a meeting for Councilman Lundquist and myself and Mr. Gerhardt
to meet with Representative Hoppe this coming Thursday and we're working with Senator
Ortman to meet with her as well, so we expect that meeting to take place soon.
Councilman Peterson: You couldn't get them both together huh?
Mayor Furlong: We couldn't. They were not, we're unsure if the Senator can join us on
Thursday but we do have a meeting scheduled for Senator, or Representative Hoppe and we are
going to continue to do that. Are these related to that?
Todd Gerhardt: Yep.
Mayor Furlong: Okay. Mr. Gerhardt, you want to.
