Coulter at 316 Lake Hazelin Drive CRB PC number 2025-05 liz take it away thank you thank you members of the planning commission uh we have a preliminary site and building plan uh before us this evening for Beckman Coulter specifically at
their address of 316 Lake Hazeline Drive this is being proposed by Beckman Coulter along with their consultant CRB uh consulting engineers uh the site is highlighted in kind of the orange yellow um outline on this screen here it's a
property that's located in uh the northeast portion of the city of Chaza so it does border on the city of Chanhass and on its north side as well as the Twin Cities and Western Railroad on that north side um surrounding uh
uses for this site um include mainly industrial properties and then Chanhassen High School to the east there uh some major roadways are Lyman Boulevard or County Road 18 um and Lake Hazeline Drive uh provides access uh
onto that uh major street so we're at the second step in our normal three-step process uh so this is when we start to dive into more of those technical details uh with the civil and architectural plans
um we start to look at some issue resolutions that came up out of uh concept plan um and then if this moves forward and uh moves forward in front of council um it would move on to the third and final step uh Beckman Coulter uh has been in
this building around uh 2013 uh they are a company that specializes in developing manufacturing marketing selling products for biomed testing uh with a f focus on making laboratories more efficient uh they also make diagnostic systems that
are found in uh most hospitals uh this location at 316 Lake Hazeline Drive uh encompasses the majority of their manufacturing side uh so they are hoping to expand that portion of their business uh with this building addition uh which
would ultimately also bring in approximately 300 new jobs uh to the area um this building in particular dates back to 1984 when it received its first uh approvals for the building that is currently on site um and then back in
December of 2024 is when we saw the concept plan for the building addition being proposed and that concept plan is shown uh on the image of this screen uh the existing conditions of the property it's a little under 13 acres in
size uh it's currently zoned in a planned multi-use district PMD1 to be exact uh this area in particular uh was uh planned for industrial use uh so that's why we see a majority of industrial uh buildings along Lake
Hazeline Drive the building itself is a one-story rectangular building uh approximately 60,000 square ft in size uh it also has surface parking lot uh totaling approximately 182 stalls uh there are two access points into the
site off of Lake Hazeline Drive both on the east and west sides of the property um and those access points will remain uh with the uh proposed alterations uh there are two wetlands that exist on site that are mainly on the north
side as well as uh tree groves that uh encompass the north side and additionally uh a power line easement on the north side as well just a couple images of the existing uh conditions of the property looking from
Lake Hazeloon Drive at the building and looking uh more inner internal of the site uh facing um more north so the request this evening is for preliminary site and building plan um and this would encompass their building
addition onto the existing building which would be a two-story building addition uh totaling approximately 148,000 square ft for both those stories um along with that will be a parking
expansion on site uh to accommodate the um addition uh building addition and employees there uh so the uh plan or the preliminary site plan is shown on this screen here
uh the building addition is proposed on the northeast side of the existing building so it will be connected uh the footprint of the building addition will be approximately 88,500 square ft but when you add the second story onto that that's where you
get that 148,000 total square footage of um uh building addition uh there will be an expansion to the parking lot as well um the proposed
parking at the onset of the building addition will be 401 total stalls on site however they can accommodate up to 529 parking stalls on site uh with their proof of parking plan um so of those
numbers 128 stalls are for future need um if uh the building or a different user uh needs those stalls in the future uh the two access points again are um going to remain on Lake Hazelton Drive uh one is kind of a primary access
to the employee parking lot and then the east access will kind of operate as that main um uh truck access point and employee access point um so it'll have kind of full circulation around the building to the northwest side where
additional loading dock spaces um loading dock space um will be positioned on the northwest side of the building uh where uh the future warehousing portions will go as well as a eastern loading
dock point um where I'm showing my cursor as well there is a southern uh loading dock too but the east and the northwest will be those primary loading dock points of access uh storm water uh will be accommodated
on site as well mainly uh via an underground tank system on the northeast side um there will be two treatment uh areas as well both on the northwest side and uh the northeast side of the site um in terms of development
standards and parking um they are meeting the requirements out there so there's no discrepancies there uh this exhibit shows the proof of parking plan it might be hard to see on on that screen there um but uh parking
can be expanded to the north on site outside of the wetland areas uh to accommodate that 529 stalls um if needed in terms of landscaping uh they are also meeting the city's requirements for uh landscaping for this uh building
addition size uh they'll be accommodating that uh mainly in the form of new plantings uh around the site as well as uh getting credit for existing trees on site mainly on the south side uh so they meet uh the caliber inch
requirements for overstory understory trees and shrubs and our planting island requirement for their landscape plan um this slide shows the architectural plans of the building addition um the building
uh today is primarily concrete um in materials uh the proposed building addition will also be mainly concrete um and have uh reveals casted into the uh concrete to provide a little bit more
interest and articulation there as well as some significant glass openings at the uh entrance points on the building um and punched openings to provide more um illumination into the site or into the building few renderings of the building
addition both looking north into the property so the building addition will be set back a little bit from the existing building so with that uh there's really no discussion points tonight that they haven't met uh from our analysis uh so
with that um we're asking you to make a motion this evening to recommend approval of the preliminary site and building plan for 316 Lake Hazelton Drive for Beckman Coulter uh based on the conditions that are listed in the staff report um if this moves on this
evening it will go to council on Monday April 21st uh we do have representatives from Beckman Coulter here if you have any questions for them otherwise I'm available for any questions too thank you
um any questions for me got to earn our pay here a little yeah one I guess I do have a question um there could be uh your employees uh two shifts three
shifts one shift i saw two here right now yes yes i'm Amy Salbury i'm the senior site director uh thank you planning commissioners um yes there'll be two shifts that we plan um we currently have two shifts and we'll continue a two shift structure is there going to be like picnic tables
for outside or walking around i'm just thinking of Yeah there is a um we will have a full service cafeteria there um and there will be outdoor um picnic tables uh on the south side of the building yeah let's say when when you're up and running how many employees would you have in the building at say one
given time at any one given time um approximately 300 at max during the first shift many trucks coming in and out um we'll there will probably be uh various um FedEx UPS trucks um and some delivery
trucks that we have like um I don't know three four uh a day that are from our suppliers or FedEx UPS and another we have an internal box truck that does deliveries internally so it it should not increase it should
actually decrease from what we currently have i like your design it looks sharp it does doesn't it thanks uh any other questions from the committee hearing none does anybody want to make a
motion i'll make a motion to recommend the approval to the city council of the preliminary site building plan for the building at 316 Lake Hazelton Drive subject to the following nine conditions

what's the status of the KFC anything um you know I have nothing on that one um a little empty and ugly yeah i mean it's the same owner i think we've had communication with them um but it's I think it's been a
while since our last touch point with them so I'm not quite sure what the movement is on that quite yet but their neighbor at least we have someone moving into the Cooper site i don't know if that oh um was shared with
you but it's a a super marcato user that comes out of um Savage in Shakape um and a few other locations in the metro um so they're and they're also working on a site in Richfield too at the moment but
they're basically going to be taking um use of the entire Cooper site base when do they plan to be open or I think right now they want to be open by end of year so they're going to do kind of a
full renovation in there um they say worst case scenario is next spring but depending on how quickly they can move through everything they need to do I think that's their their goal right now excellent yeah it's it's very exciting
