Dear Planning Commission members;
Green Gardens Nursery and Landscape Inc. located at 850 Flying Cloud Drive is
applying to amend its' current interim use permit. The current permit was established in
1996 and severely limits the new business owners desire to improve the aesthetics ofthe
property and the viability of the nursery.
Core changes proposed
1. Screen and establish landscape and bin materials on second level of the property.
The current IUP restricts landscape materials to the lower property level which is
difficult to screen and divides the plant material sales area.
2. Establish display gardens, pergolas, and arbors on the lower area of the property.
3. Incorporate the current temporary aesthetically pleasing storage structure and
seasonal office on its current site and plan for a future storage/office structure on
the site. (See map)
4. Add additional parking for trucks and equipment behind the current storage
structures to improve the aesthetics of the property and screen them from the
highway.
5. Creation of a monument sign following the guidelines of the City of Chanhassen
sign ordinance.
Green Garden's management believes the proposed changes in the current interim use
permit will improve the overall atmosphere of the garden center. The proposed changes
will enhance the overall aesthetics of the city and establish an impressive gateway to the
city of Chanhassen. Over the last two years Green Gardens has worked hard to clean the
850 flying Cloud property and create a more inviting environment for the benefit of the
city, the health of the local economy, and the business. We feel the current business and
the proposed IUP changes are consistent with the cities comprehensive plan for the
property and surrounding area.
Green Gardens is extremely sensitive to the design and appearance of the overall property.
We feel that the proposed changes will improve the overall appearance of the property. The
project will be designed, constructed, operated, and maintained to be compatible in
appearance with the existing or intended character of the general vicinity. The IUP changes
will not change the essential character of that area and improve the general value of the
property and the adjoining areas. The improvements will not require additional city services
and will create a more functional facility.
The proposed changes to the interim use permit will not result in increased intensity of the
use of the land -- the changes are for business functionality and aesthetic purposes and will
not result in more traffic and noise or other offensive issues.
Green Gardens will not be making changes vehicular flow or the entrances to the property.
The proposed IUP changes will not negatively impact historic or natural features of the area.
Green Gardens will continue to enhance the 850 Flying Cloud properties with planting that
incorporate native species and will following the cities guidelines for perimeter landscaping.
Thank you
Keith Werner
President Green Gardens
