MEETING DATE: AGENDA #: PREPARED BY: AGENDA ITEM: DISCUSSION: CITY COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT JUNE 16, 2008 5M DANETTE WALTHERS-MOORE, COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT & NATURAL RESOURCES DIRECTOR CONSIDER APPROVAL OF A RESOLUTION APPROVING THE FINAL PLANNED UNIT DEVELOPMENT PLAN FOR YMCA/SHEPHERD'S PATH Introduction The purpose of this agenda item is to consider approval of a resolution approving a Planned Unit Development Final Plan for the portion of the campus that is proposed to contain a future YMCA facility. The site is located west of Shepherd's Path, east of McKenna Road, north of CSAH 42, and south of North Berens Road. The proposed YMCA final PUD plan encompasses 2.34 acres of the Shepherd's Path campus. The subject area is comprised of the YMCA facility, playground areas, a splash pad area, and a daycare parking lot. The YMCA structure is proposed to be a total of 50,000 square feet in floor area (floor plans attached) with the option of a 12,000 square foot expansion area (the future expansion area will need to submit for a Final PUD in order to proceed with development) and a ground floor area of 29,000 square feet. The structure will be a maximum height of 36 feet (with a third story walk-out elevation on the south side of the building). In addition, there are mechanical units proposed for the top of the building that will add height to the center and southern rooftop areas of the structure. The YMCA structure will not exceed the current height of the existing adjacent church. The proposed YMCA facility will occupy property that was platted at the time of the first phase of the Shepherd's Path campus. An Administrative Subdivision recently took place to facilitate a legal description and establish a boundary for a lease agreement between the church and the YMCA. The remainder of the Shepherd's Path campus is platted as outlots for future development. Historv In December of 2005, the Preliminary Planned Unit Development Plan for the approximately 80 acre mixed use development known as Shepherd's Path was approved, which allowed for 442 senior housing units, a YMCA facility, youth center, medical office/clinic, bank, park area, trails, and companion uses to the existing church (meeting areas, daycare, and retreat center). www.cityofpriorlake.com r:\council\2008 agenda reports\0616 08\fi~11(S~)P&9~2i~~~~ffl) / Fax 952.447.4245 In June of 2006, approval was granted for the first phase of the development, which included senior housing ranging from independent living to assisted living, as well as a youth facility (Safe Haven), and a campus community center ("Town Center"). On April 7, 2008, the City Council adopted Resolution #08-057 approving the amendment to the PUD plan for the Shepherd's Path development with the following conditions: a Any additional impervious square footage areas granted through this amendment must be equally deducted from future development phases that take place within the specific watershed area of the YMCA facility. b The applicant shall provide 100 proof-of-parking spaces on the campus property located west of McKenna Road to serve as an overflow parking area. The applicant will be responsible for the installation of the bituminous parking area if the parking counts warrant it. If warranted, any future development on the west side of McKenna must incorporate parking to adequately meet the needs of the YMCA facility at build-out. c The applicant shall provide a crossing guard at McKenna and North Berens Road at peak traffic volume times when overflow parking on the west side of McKenna is utilized (including Sunday mornings, before and after worship services, and Wednesday evenings as needed). d Sixty (60) days after the YMCA facility becomes operational, City staff shall evaluate the parking situation during peak hours and have the applicant install the proof of parking if counts warrant it. e The approved amendment shall not imply approval of any architectural elements, materials, signage, the splash pad concept, or any PUD thematic elements shown on the elevations or plans submitted as a part of the amendment application. ISSUES: SDlash Pad: The 2,590 square foot splash pad area (schematics and photos attached) functions similar to a playground area with the additional incorporation of water features. The play area will be encompassed by a six foot high fence. Exterior Materials: In April of 2008, plans were submitted for a Shepherd's Path PUD amendment which included plans depicting the exterior elevations of the future YMCA facility. While it should be noted that the amendment request did not specifically involve the exterior materials, the elevations identified the precast panels as smooth-painted and stucco finishes (similar to those of the existing church). Since that time, the elevation drawings were submitted as part of the final PUD submittal, which instead reflected the finish of the precast panels as exposed aggregate. The percentages of specific materials being proposed for the YMCA facility include the following: r:\council\2008 agenda reports\06 16 08\final ymca pud cc report. doc 2 · Precast Concrete Panels: 68% · Windows: 18% · Calcium Silicate Stone (base of building): 7% · Other (prefinished metal trim, EIFS, tile: 7% Precast concrete panels are considered a Class II material in traditional developments that are not Zoned 1-1 (Industrial). In the case of Shepherd's Path, the development is part of a PUD and provided the proposed structure is consistent in thematic appearance with that of the existing structures on the campus, or if a benefit can be provided that justifies the flexibility, it can be permitted. Included in the City Council packet (attached) is a rendering of the future YMCA facility imposed alongside a photo of the existing church. As the picture reveals, the applicant has been successful in matching the colors of the existing church with that of the precast panels. In addition, the applicant has continued the stone trim along the bottom of the building fac;ade in scale with the existing church. Since going before the Planning Commission, the aggregate precast panel has been modified to slightly reduce the appearance of the aggregate size. In addition, the YMCA has indicated that in consideration of the precast panels, they will incorporate the name of Prior Lake in all future publication materials, signage, and alike. For these reasons, staff believes the proposal is consistent with the intent of the overall Final PUD Plan, subject to the following conditions: 1. All engineering issues must be addressed prior to grading on the site. 2. A trail easement must be recorded for the site prior to any building permit issuance. 3. A bid and letter of credit for the trail must be submitted prior to any building permit issuance. 4. All necessary building permit materials shall be submitted prior to any site construction. 5. A sign permit application shall be submitted for any future signage. 6. All future YMCA publication material, signage, and alike shall reflect the ending tagline of "in Prior Lake". 7. A finalized splash pad plan shall be submitted and approved by City staff prior to construction. 8. A plan reflecting the screening of future mechanical equipment shall be submitted for City staff approval prior to construction. The Planning Commission found the proposal consistent with the purpose of a PUD, and recommended approval with the directive that the precast panel material be reformulated to refine the aggregate, prior to proceeding to the City Council. FINANCIAL IMPACT: Approval of this Final PUD Plan will allow for the future YMCA in Prior Lake, providing a regional amenity that will encourage additional development, which will contribute to the City's tax base. r:\council\2008 agenda reports\06 16 08\final ymca pud cc report.doc 3 ALTERNATIVES: RECOMMENDED MOTION: Reviewed by: The City Council has the following alternatives: 1.
