BOX 147 • CHANHASSEN, MINNESOTA 55317 (612) 937-1900 MEMORANDUM TO: Chanhassen Planning Commission, ' FROM: Bob Waibel, City Planner DATE: March 16, 1982 SUBJ: Subdivision Variance Request, Lot 1, Block 1, Gray Wickenheiser Estates; Public Hearing. PLANNING CASE: 76-1 Subdivision GENERAL INFORMATION Applicant Lawrence Freiberg 2121 Vincent Avenue North Minneapolis, MN 55411 Status of Applicant Prospective Owner Requested Action To receive a variance to the condition of plat approval that the property remain in its natural state, szo that site grading and filling improvements can be made. Purpose For the construction of a single family detached residence. Existing Zoning R-1 (Single Family Residential) Location Approximately 75 feet east of the intersection of Orchard Lane and Minnewashta Woods Drive on the north side of Orchard Lane. Size 1.0+/- acres Existing Land Use Vacant Adjacent Land Use North: Right of Way: Highway #7 and Zoning South: Single Family Homes; zoned R-1 East: Single Family Homes; zoned R-1 West: Single Family Homes; zoned R-1 Planning Report - jkenhei.ser March 17, 1982 Page 2 1990 Land Use Plan a) Land Use Area is designated for low density residential use. b) Transportation Orchard Lane is to function as a local street. Zoning History February 1972 - The property was zoned R-1, Single Family Residence District as part of the adoption of Zoning Ordinance 47. November 1, 1976 - The City Council approved the final plat for Gray- Wickenheiser Estates designating the property lot 1. Applicable Regulations City Council subdivision condition that the property remain in its natural state. SPECIAL INFORMATION Public Utilities Sanitary sewer and water lateral service is available to this lot. Physical Characteristics The property has a low area in the southwest corner which receives runoff from the east and south. During peak wet periods, the pond drains to the north and west to a larger pond lying west of the property. The northeast 1/3 of the property is approximately 10' higher in elevation than the low area. Parks The record of subdivision of Gray - Wickenheiser Estates indicates no park land dedication discussion. As such the standard park dedication fee should be collected at the time a building permit is issued. REFERRAL AGENCY REVIEW No comments received as of writing of this report. Planning Commission mutes March 25, 1982 Page 3 Waibel stated that the applicant requested to fill in the low area of Lot 1, Block 1 of Gray-Wickenheiser Estates. The City Council, when this area was platted, requested that the staff be alerted to .anyone coming in for a fill permit for that particular low area. The staff thought that this should be processed as a variance to the subdivision conditions that the City Council placed on it. The referral agency review only resulted in a letter from the Watershed District telling the applicants that they may need to receive a permit for the filling of this low area. That will be the responsibility of the applicant. They are proposing to remove fill from the hill and move to the center of the lot. They want to do this to achieve a better access to the home they want to build on the hill. The applicant wants to make some alterations on the outlet that goes into the pond on the western side. This is essentially an Engineering matter. Monk, the City Engineer, stated in his report, that it is apparent that the developer is aware of the drainage situation and is attempting to accommodate the drainage from his own lot as well as the tributary areas towards the ponding area to the northwest. He finds that the proposed grading plan is acceptable and recommends approval to allow development of this lot as originally intentioned. Waibel stated that the soil maps for this area do not show peat deposits here, indicating that this, in all likelihood has developed as this area urbanized. Swearengin stated that one of the problems with the City, is that they are trying to allow filling where it shouldn't be. There are problems in filling lots, maybe this shouldn't be done. Partridge indicated that this is not going to be a significant amount of filling. He asked if the filling is going to move more water onto the adjacent properties. Waibel stated no. Freiberg, the applicant, stated that the intent is to build a'house into the hill. The intent to fill is not to build on it, but to get the water to take a more rapid flow back to the existing pond. --'The idea is so that it is no longer swamp and so they can have a nice lawn. There is about a 35' drop in the hill, the fill is for a better driveway also. The applicant has two children and a dog and does not want a swamp on his lawn. The house isn't going to be built for about a year. Waibel stated that in 1976 when this area was platted, this lot was found to be a buildable lot, it was also assessed a full unit. The plan does not show where the house is going to be, because he did not want to be tied into a spot when they are not going to be building for about a year or more. The filling ,,,ill be done this year, so that they will have a year to see if it is going to work. Planning Commission inutes March 25, 1982 Page 2, Waibellexplained that the applicant will need to toxic substances inventory with the Carver County file a hazardous and Zoning Office. Conrad asked why lighting was not mentioned in the recommendations from the staff. Waibel stated that the site plan has the shielded high pressure sodium lighting shown on it already and did not seem necessary to put it into the recommendations. Waibel stated that there is a problem with the on -wall lighting, because it sometimes is not shielded low enough to cut the glare. Watson asked if the building lights could be different than the high pressure sodium, and asked if Waibel could check into this. Daryl Fortier, the applicant's architect, stated that the lighting plan will be changed some before the final plan is finished, but they will still use the high pressure sodium lighting. Beddor, the applicant, indicated that there will be 3 shifts working at United Mailing, so the lights have to be on all the time. Waibel stated that the area needs to be well lit for insurance reasons and also security reasons. Beddor stated that he feels his architects_.have done a fine job in utilizing the wetland area on the property. The property has a gradual slope rising to the southern part of the property. The overall soil development qualities are good with the exception of a vein of poorly drained soils in the east central portion of the property and the flood areas in the northwest 4 of the property. The parking is planned - for the west side of the lot and there will be bridge going over the creek to the building. Beddor indicated that he hopes to have this building open the same time as Instant Web, Inc. Waibel stated that in a letter from Minnegasco, they indicated that their lines should be coming in from the east. The City Engineer and the Watershed District are working together with the DNR regarding the pedestrian bridge. The DNR has indicated that possibly the applicant will have to apply for a permit for the bridge. Watson asked if there will be any toxic substances produced at United Mailing. Beddor indicated no. Watson made a motion, seconded by Partridge, to close the public hearing. All voted in favor and the motion carried. Swearengin made a motion, seconded by Conrad, to refer this item to the City Council without any further discussion. All voted in favor and the motion carried.

The filling will be done this year, so that they will have a year to see if it is going to work. Planning Report - --kenheiser March 17, 1982 Page 3 ANALYSIS The records on the Gray-Wickenheiser Estates subdivision indicate that the east property line of Lot 1 on the preliminary plat was to be shifted 25 feet to the east so that a potential home on that lot could receive access on solid ground. Additionally, the City Administrator's memorandum to the City Council. of November 1, 1976, states that one of Council's preliminary plat conditions was that the low -area in Lot 1 remain in its natural state and the Council minutes of November 1, 1976 states "that the City Administrator be directed to watch for the application of a fill permit on Lot l." The applicant is proposing to remove fill from the hill in the center of the, lot and place it in the low area as shown in attach- ments 5 and 6. He also proposes to make a drainage swell along the south and west side of the property and widen the existing outlet on the west center part of the property. The intended result of the cut and fill proposal is to allow for more sheet drainage through removal of the low area, and achieve better access for the proposed residence and more usable yard area. The low area in question is not identified in the Chanhassen wetland inventory. RECOMMENDATION Since the request primarily involves drainage, the staff recommend- ation is contained in the City Engineer's Report. (Attachment 1) REPORT ATTACHMENTS 1. City Engineer's Report dated March 17, 1982 2. Location Map 3. Letter from Lawrence Frieberg dated March 8, 1982 4. Existing Grades Plan 5. Proposed Revisions to Grading and Drainage 6. Proposed Grade Changes 7. City Council minutes dated October 4, 1976 8. Memo from City Administrator to Mayor and City Council dated November 1, 1976. 9. City Council minutes, dated November 1, 1976 PLANNING COMMISSION ACTION The Planning Commission moved to recommend that the City Council approve the variance to the condition of plat approval that the property remain in its natural state so that site grading and filling may take place as suggested by the City Engineer. Planning Commission Mutes March 25, 1982 Page 4 Swearengin stated that he is there is plenty of building can still be obtained. against filling the lot, he stated that area on the rest of the lot, and an access Partridge indicated that this will not be changing the. lot that much. He is just changing the retention of the swamp. The Engineer indicates that this is such a shallow ditch, that it does not have that significant of an impact. It does not show on the Wetlands Inventory Map as being a designated wetlands area. Swearengin stated that he would like to look at this lot first. Pat Hanley, 2660 Orchard Lane, stated that he owns Lot 3. At the time of platting, he could fill his lot, but Lot 1 could not be filled. Since then, he has put a holding pond on his lot. The people in the neighborhood would rather see that land developed than to just leave it unused. Hanley's pond would suffice for a filtration system. 'He stated further that what ever happens to the lot doesn't matter that much, as long as the flow is continued and no blockage occurs. Lot 1 has become sort of an eye -sore because people have been dumping junk on it. Swearengin asked the applicant if he would consider a holding pond. Freiberg stated tht he does not want a deeper hole; he just wants to channel the water so that it can flow faster. The applicants intent is to preserve the natural outlet, the only reason that the water sits on his lot is because the release has be:comeisilted. The natural flow of the water comes down the street, across the neighbors lawn and goes into the pond. The applicant stated that he will let it still do that; he just wants to channel it so that it flows faster. Tom Thomas is the owner, he has signed the application and is aware of this request. Swearengin indicated that he feels the applicant didn't need to come to the Planning Commission for a variance. Waibel stated that any fill more than 150 cubic yards needs a permit from the City Council. Martin explained that this wouldn't need a permit except for the previous City Council decision made in 1976 to not have this lot filled. Watson made a motion, seconded by Conrad, to close the public hearing. All voted in favor and the motion was carried. M. Thompson stated that he feels this will be an addition to the neighbor- hood, it is not creating any problems, there is an assessment on this property, and obviously the City Council felt that this was a buildable piece of property at the time of platting. •Planning Commission :nutes March 25, 1982 Page 5 Swearengin stated that this never should have been brought before the Planning Commission; he doesn't think there is a'problem with this lot. He stated this is a buildable lot, it is not a wetland- ,:the fact that the Council in 1976 made some comment isn't relavent now. Swearengin told the applicant, as far as he was concerned, he should go ahead and build on it, as long as you don't alter the drainage, and as long as you still allow the drainage to flow through, you are allowed to slop dirt over your land where ever you want. He also pointed out the applicant could do what he wants as long as he doesn't move more than 150 cubic yards of dirt. Swearengin made a motion to recommend to .the City Council to accept the grading plan and recommend approval to allow development of the lot. Motion died because of lack of a second. Conrad stated that this motion is not dealing with the requested action. The request was for a variance to the condition of plat approval that the property remain in its natural state so that site grading and filling improvements can be made. Swearengin indicated that he does not intend to make his motion to grant a variance. Waibel stated that the City Engineer has looked at this *property and has found no problem with the drainage and the ponding in the area. Swearengin stated that this is not a wetlands, and it is not going to alter the drainage. He asked why doesn't the applicant just go ahead and do what he wants; why does he need a variance and technical reports. Conrad made a motion, seconded by Partridge, to recommend to the City Council to approve a variance to the condition of plat approval stating that the property remain in its natural state so that site grading and filling may take place as suggested by Bill Monk, the City Engineer. The following voted in favor: Watson, Partridge, Conrad, and M. Thompson. Swearengin voted nay. Swearengin stated that he voted nay because this request was not necessary, it is not a wetland, and -there can be less than 150 yards moved without a variance. Partridge indicated that there was no opposition from the neighborhood. AFFIDAVI= jF PUBLICATION Otate of Ainne!50ta, ss. Countyof.......

I visited the site on March 17, 1982, and initially it appears as though the project is feasible. However the project will require a permit from the MCWD. Our concern at this point is the impact this project would have on existing storm drainage routes and water quality impacts on the receiving body of water. I strongly suggest you contact the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources to correctly identify the wetland (lowland) type when weather permits. In order to receive approval by the Board of Managers of the MCWD , the applicant would be required to determine the peak volume of water that would normally flow through this site during a 100 year return rainfall event, using the intensity of rainfall corresponding to the time of concentration of the contributing watershed basin. This information would be required to adequately design a channel to handle the existing storm drainage from and contributing to this site. If you should need further assistance, please advise.

My plans,if the sub -division is approved, are to move onto these three sites, three existing homes, noir located on Highway 7, immediately West of Co. Rd. #101. I have your building inspector looking at these three homes now to make sure they meet code and are acceptable to the City of Chanhassen. My request is to be included on the Council agenda for the Sept. 13th meeting, to discuss the moving of these three homes and obtain an informal verbal approval, once the building inspector has assured that the homes meet code and are acceptable. I have a Sept. 15th deadline on my purchase agreements on the homes and the building sites. If I did obtain encouragement and informal approval from the Council, we would still have to wait for the public hearing, but I would then be in a position to know whether I should proceed with the purchase of the homes. Would you kindly arrange to place my request on the Sept. 13th agenda. Thank you for your cooperation. AUG 1976 �CEIV w V <<<AG �O A Truly yours, a4i,'L- THCMAS J .

REF: Planning Commission Minutes dated September 22, 1976. PETITION: To re -subdivide Lot 5, Minnewashta Park into three (3) residential building sites. BACKGROUND: 1. Community Location: As shown in attachment 1, the subject property is located on Orchard Lane, approximately 4 mile west of Cermak's Nursery. 2. Existing Zoning: R-1, Single Family Residential; 15,000 square feet minimum lot size. 3. Municipal Services: Municipal sanitary sewer and water service is in place on Orchard Lane and service is available to the subject property. 4. Comprehensive Plan Proposal: a. Land Use: The subject property and environs is to assume a low density single family residential identity. Although not explicitly stated in the plan, the city assumes "in filling" of large residential lots with single family homes on R-1 lots where urban services are available. Mr. Don Ashworth -2- September 29, 1976 b. Transportation: Highway 7, which forms the subject property's northern border is a major inter and intra regional arterial. Local access to individual parcels should be discouraged to facilitate the through movement function of the roadway. Parenthetically, local access is proposed off of Orchard Lane. Orchard Lane, on the other hand, serves as a local access frontage road of STH 7. 5. Physiographic Analysis: Very elementary, the subject property consists of good high ground and three (3) areas of low land depression. 6. A public hearing was duly held by the Commission on September 22, 1976. PLANNER'S COMMENTS 1. As shown in attachment 2, the subject property exceeds the minimum square footage and front yard requirements of the R-1 use district. 2. The lots are sufficiently deep to afford new home construction to be setback approximately 250 feet from STH 7. This setback, coupled with the hill between the building site and STH 7 is a good feature of the proposed subdivision. 3. The lot line between lots 1 and 2 should be moved 25 feet eastward so as to give Lot 1 driveway space on "solid ground." ENGINEER'S COMMENTS As shown in attachment 3, the city engineer recommended the low area on Lot 1 not be filled. PLANNING COMMISSION'S RECOMMENDATION As shown in attachment 3, the commission made the following recommendation: "A motion was made by Jerry Neher and seconded by Les Bridger to recommend the council approve the re -subdivision of Lot 5, Minnewashta Park as shown on the plan dated August 18, 1976. The low land area in proposed Lot 1 shall be left in its natural state as low land. Motion unanimously approved." PLANNER'S RECOMMENDATION Approved conditioned upon the subdivider moving the lot line between lots 1 and 2 twenty-five feet eastward, and the low area in Lot 1 be left in its natural state. • - S � � $ g g 8 R � 1i � � � � � � S � 8 8 8 S 8 ._._.__._._.__� ._ 4o \� - 3900 T � f 3300 3200 _ . _ _ _ _. _ __ _� — — _• 4 _ .."+_� �• _ �—( - _ - "�11 - .
