75-5 - 7900 Great Plains Blvd SUB pt 1MEMORANDUM CITY OF CHANHASSEN 7610 LAREDO DRIVEoP 0 BOX 147oCHANHASSEN, MINNESOTA 55317 (612) 474-8885 31D I TO: City Planner, Bruce Pankonin FROM: City Manager, Don Ashworth DATE: March 3, 1978 SUBJ: Sorenson Building - Great Plains Blvd. At the last council meeting a question was raised in regards to the consideration given to the "Western Motiff philosophy" .in approving the Sorenson building on Great Plains Blvd. I was unable to remember what action had been taken by the Planning Commission and Council in regards to this item as well as general consideration given to the Western motiff concept. Would you please review your files and forward a copy of your planning report on this item, planning commission action and any other general information you feel reasonable in answering this question. ( January 5, 1981 t by Council: Mayor and City Council City of Chanhassen 7610 Laredo Drive RejeciQd Chanhassen, MN 55317{e Honorable Mayor and City Council: 0 ,,,.Kk 4,,�'••. This past year I requested to have the concrete curbing deleted from the development contract for my building at 7900 Great Plains Blvd. I saw this process as one in which both the City and myself could come to amicable solution to our problems. Specifically, I cannot believe the City currently desires or needs to have me construct the storage shed which was originally approved as a part of my building plan as well as the outside storage which would have been permitted as a part of that contract. Similarly, I have always believed that the concrete curbs required as a part of that development contract were of no benefit to me. Further, I believe the concrete curbs would be a greater hazard than the curb stops (which are presently in place and which have continued to function over the past three year period). I continue to believe that the solution which I offered this past year to be in the best interests of the City, i.e. I will agree to delete outside storage from my property as well as abandon all plans for construction of the storage shed if the City Council will delete.the requirement to install the concrete curbs. I would ask your reconsideration. Sincerely, Michael Sorenson 7900 Great Plains Blvd. Manager's Comment: Amending development contracts has historically -not been to the advantage of the City. The requirement to install concrete curbs on the north property line is more than an issue of design. It is also a question of precedent wherein all other developments have similarly been required to make this type of installation. The mitigating circumstance is that, in the early/mid 1970's, redevelopment of the downtown area to the extent envisioned today, was not considered. As such, Mr. Sorenson received approval to construct a storage shed and have open storage in the rear portion of his property. Although this area is obscure from Great Plains Blvd., it would be highly visible and adjacent to the new Ring Road. In light of the above, I believe reconsideration is warranted. This is a changed position of this o ce. G� LARSON & MERTZ ATTORNEYS AT LAW 1900 FIRST NATIONAL BANK BUILDING RUSSELL H. LARSON MINNEAPOLIS, MINNESOTA 55402 CRAIG M.

BOX 1479CHANHASSEN, MINNESOTA 55317 (612) 474-8885 PLANNING REPORT DATE: November 29, 1979 TO: City Manager, Don Ashworth FROM: Asst. Manager/LUC, Bob Waibel SUBJ: Development Contract Amendment Request, Sorenson Commercial Building, 7900 Great Plains Blvd. PLANNING CASE: P-637 As shown in the attached memorandum dated November 14, 1979, to the Planning Commission, and the petition from the applicant dated November 1, 1979, the applicant is requesting an amendment to the development contract with the.city for the subject property. The amendments requested for consideration are the deletion of the requirements for -the construction of concrete curb and gutter and sidewalk along Great Plains -Blvd., deletion of concrete curb construction on the north property line, deletion of the requirement to construct an 8.00 square foot garage on the northwest portion of the property, and deletion of the outside storageportion of the plan and change the.use for -said storage area to overflow and fleet truck parking. The planning commission, at its November-.14, 1979, meeting, moved to table action:on the request until information was supplied by the engineer as•.to _.the degree of. difficulty- and expense that would be. involved in completing the concrete curb and gutter "sections around the perimeter of ''the parking and manuevering area morth of the building. This was in light of the applicants comments that soils and water conditions along the northern property line were not conducive to such construction. It was additionally the applicant's contention that concrete curbs would not be necessary in this area since the entry to the parking area had been necessarily shifted to the north because of a gas main apparatus located where the original entry was to be and thus the parking was transferred from along the northern property line to along the northern edge of the building. The City Engineer had indicated verbally that the construction of concrete curb along the northern property line could be constructed without exceptional difficulty or expense with respect to subsoil conditions and drainage and thus remains essentially a policy decision. Mr. Don Ashworth '� -2- f November 29, 197, The Planning Commission at its regular meeting of November 28, 1979, moved to approve the subject request as per the planning report recommendation of November 14, 1979, with the exception that concrete curb on the north property line be deleted from the contract requirementE Recommendation Pursuant to the Planning report of November 14, 1979, I recommend that the development contract for the Sorenson Commercial Building be. amended to permit the deletion of the concrete curb and gutter and sidewalk installation on Great Plains Blvd., deletion of the requirement to construct anA00 square foot garage as per the plans approved by the City Council, and deletion of the outside storage portion of the plans with the condition that none other than parking for licensed power driven vehicles, overflow and fleet truck parking occur on the parking and maneuvering area north of the subject building. This office recommends that, for the reasons expressed in the November 14th report, that the concrete curb requirement for the northern boundary of the subject property be upheld.

MINN. 55317 November 1, 1979 Don Ashworth City of Chanhassen .Box 147 Chanhassen, Minnestoa 55317 ATTENTION: DON ASHWORTH AND CITY COUNCIL Regarding: Conditional use permit for Sorensen Office and Retail Center Please be advised that three of the items, Number 3, number 6 and number 8, listed on the conditional use permit for the building at 7900 Great Plains Boulevard have become, in my estimation, obsolete and require re-evaluation for the sake of all interested parties. What I am proposing, I feel is in the best interest of the city and its overall guide plan as well as for myself, as it terminates matters that have been dor- mant for some time. Under item 3, I propose to delete the 800 square foot garage. The type of business this.garage was intended for did not materialize and does not exist; therefore making the need for the garage obsolete. Under item 6, the area in front of the building on Highway 10I, does not lend itself to any type of curb and sidewalk. Since there are exist- ing sidewalks around two sides of the building, readily accessable to all pedestrians on Highway 101, the need for additional sidewalks does not exist. Curbing as proposed, would obstruct the free flowing natural drainage of surface water that now exists, causing great amounts of 3 water to unnecessarily cross and stand in our parking lot. These additional problems point out the practicality of deleting this curbing. — Under item 8, we wish to delete the outside storage area and use the area for overflow parking and fleet truck parking. I am sure that you will recognize the merit of my proposals. I will appreciate your immediate action on these changes. Sincerely, Michael J.

Box 147 Chanhassen, Minn. 55317 Subject: Sewer Service to Leo H. Shaw Residence Dear Mr. Tessness: As requested, we have investigated the situation regarding poss- ibilities for connecting the Shaw residence to public sewer. Sketch 6277-1 accompanying shows various possibilities. The Sunrise Hills sewer project included a stub run to the north- west corner of the Shaw property. As Mrs: Shaw mentioned at the coun- cil meeting last week, there is a ravine and a ridge through which a service line to this stub would have to go, resulting in part of the length being at a depth of about twenty feet. Estimated cost, $2,300. A second possibility might be installation of a lift pump in the residence and a small service line around the south side of the house to Erie Avenue, thence southward to the existing manhole. $2,000. A.third possibility is connection to a future main which may be installed on Erie Avenue running northeastward and draining into the existing manhole near the A. Larson residence. This could be done by gravity. Such a sewer probably could not be assessed against the Shaw property, because the latter was included in the Sunrise Hills assess- ment and therefore would only be installed if needed by future devel- opment in the property to the east, shown as Frontier Development Corp. ownership. Cost, $1,400. We recommend that enforcement of the required hookup ordinance be delayed until the property to the east develops, in order to deter- mine whether a more feasible route may exist that at present.
