4. Public Hearings:
Commissioner Vonhofread the Public Hearing Statement and opened the first meeting.
A. Case File #00-076 City of Prior Lake is considering a proposed Amendment
to the City of Prior Lake Year 2020 Comprehensive Plan. The proposal is to
amend the Land Use Map from the current R-L/MD (Urban Low to Medium
Density Residential) designation to the C-BO (Business Office Park)
designation for the property located in Section 24, Township 115, Range 22.
Planning Coordinator Jane Kansier presented the Planning Report dated November 13,
2000, on file in the office of the Planning Department.
This property is presently zoned A (Agricultural) and is designated as R-LIMD (Low to
Medium Density Residential) on the 2020 Comprehensive Plan Land Use Map. The
Planning commission initiated this amendment at the request of the City Council to
replace the 20 acres ofJand owned by Shepberd of the Lake Church that was recently
changed from the C-BO designation to the R-HD designation. The purpose of the
amendment is to maintain the available supply of commercially designated land.
L:\OOFILES\OOPLCOMM\OOPCMIN\MNl 1 1300.doc 1
Planning Commission Meeting
November 17, 2000
The purpose ofthis amendment is to identify those properties most suitable for future
commercial development. The amendment would not affect the current zoning of the
property or the current use ofthe property.
The Comprehensive Plan goals and objectives applicable to this request are as follows:
GOAL: ECONOMIC VITALITY: Pursue a prudent use of available resources and the
optimum functioning of economic systems. .
OBJECTIVE No.1: Determine and strive for a balance of commerce, industry, and
population.
OBJECTIVE No.2: Encourage a diversified economic base and a broad range of employ-
ment opportunities.
OBJECTIVE No.3: Promote sound land use.
Staff recommended approval of the Amendment as requested.
DRAFT
Comments from the public:
Ed Gregory lives approximately 1000 feet from the property. Mr. Gregory questioned
which way would the services be coming in and assessment costs. His other concerns
were for the high traffic on County Road 42, adequate setbacks and the future
intersection. Mr. Gregory would like to be on a list for any future rezonings.
Kansier responded the services were in place on County Road 42. At this time the City
has no plans of extending the services. The City Engineer would be able to answer the
approximate cost. Kansier went on to explain the business office requirements.
John Nugent, 13855 Crest, questioned if this is part ofthe 2020 Comprehensive Plan and
the time line. Kansier responded it was developer driven and up to the property owners
when they sell the land. Nugent commented on the growing businesses in the
surrounding communities and felt this intersection had to become some kind of a
thoroughfare, but not residential. His main interest was the time line.
Kansier responded on time lines and developments.
Paula Jenkins, lives on the comer of County Roads 42 and 18, stated she is not opposed
to the change and questioned the process. V onhof explained the Comprehensive Plan
land use 20 years out. Kansier explained the development process.
Christopher Williams, 5671 Cedarwood Street, said one of his concerns was the high
traffic on County Road 42. Williams questioned if the City has taken a look at how they
are going to maintain the integrity of the residential neighborhood (Sand Pointe) stating
L:\OOFILES\OOPLCOMM\OOPCMIN\MNI1 1300.doc 2
Planning Commission Meeting
November 17. 2000
traffic noise would get worse. He supported the City's growth but said had he known of
this proposal for development, he would have never moved into the neighborhood.
Mike Orrie,5607 Cedarwood Street, said staff did not respond to Mr. Williams question
on maintaining the integrity of the neighborhood. V onhof said the County controls
County Road 42. Kansier explained commercial buffering and landscaping and that
County Road 42 has been recently upgraded. Orrie questioned maintaining the woods.
Kansier spoke of the City's Tree Preservation and Landscaping Ordinances. Orrie also
questioned when the area was originally designated "Residential". Rye explained the
original designation was adopted in 1982 and amended in 1995 to "Low/Medium
Residential". The City Council requested the Planning Commission to come up with 20
acres of land to be used for commercial uses. Orrie asked if the City Council would vote
on this amendment. Kansier said this amendment could go to the City Council December
4th and on to the Metropolitan Council.
Jamie Gapinski, 5654 Cedarwood Street, questioned ifthis area could be rezoned to
commercial in the future. Kansier responded it could always happen. Anyone has the
right to come in and make an application for rezoning. She went on to explain this is not
a rezoning but a Comprehensive Plan amendment. Gapinski questioned the business
classifications for Office Park. Kansier explained businesses allowed in an Office Park
designation.
Guy Beck, 5634 Cedarwood Street, presented a photo of his back yard adjoining County
Road 42 and felt there were no adequate barriers. His other concerns were for the trees
on County Road 42, the entrances and buffering. V onhof stated all of these issues would
be addressed at a future time when the actual development went in.
Ed Gregory said he used to commute around the seven county area and dreaded driving
around Scott County stating there are no good roads. Mr. Gregory went on to tell the
Commissioners not to make decisions until Scott County made road improvements and
had knowledge of a good system.
-Paula Jenkins, said she understood Mr. Gregory's concern and said the traffic has been
noisy. Prior Lake is behind Shakopee and Savage in commercial development. Her
property has been used and abused by snowmobilers and others. She feels she is on two
main thoroughfares and it is part of the process of development.
Comments from the Commissioners:
DRAFT
Stamson:
. A number of concerns have been addressed. The Commissioners reviewed the
corridor to replace property that went from commercial to residential use. Only
after much consideration the Commissioners felt this particular piece was most
appropriate.
. This smaller piece of property is not going to bring all the traffic down County
Road 42. In comparison to an R1 District and the traffic it generates, the traffic
L:\OOFILES\OOPLCOMM\OOPCMIN\MNl 1 1300.doc 3
Planning Commission Meeting
November 17, 2000
generated by commercial development may be more or less, depending on the
type of use.
· This intersection is a more appropriate use for business office park use.
· Supported the change.
Atwood:
· Questioned staff if one resident refuses to sell, does the Comprehensive Plan have
to be amended? Kansier responded it would not and explained the development
process.
· Pointed out that she lives by the existing office park that does not have a buffer,
yet it makes for a good neighbor.
· The traffic on County Road 42 is already present. Agreed with Stamson that a lot
of acreage will produce differences in traffic.
· Does not feel her property values lowered and does not feel it would be a huge
Issue.
· Encouraged the neighborhood to stay involved with the process. Talk to staff and
the developers about your concerns.
· Concurred this area is a good amendment to the Comprehensive Plan.
Criego:
· The Commission has reviewed this and felt because of the location, it probably
fits best as a business office park.
· Prior Lake does need more businesses. It makes sense to the Commissioners with
the traffic to use this parcel. It does not remove a large number of homes, yet it
provides 30 plus acres for development.
· Agreed with Atwood that this is only the start ofthe process. This is an
amendment to the Comprehensive Plan. A far cry from development of the
property.
· All the Commissioners are suggesting to the people who come into the
community that this particular space could be developed as office space or light
industrial. It does not commit the City or the existing property owners to selling.
There are several processes that take place after the amendment.
· Concurred with Commissioner Atwood to stay involved when and ifthis property
is developed.
· Agreed with Commissioners to amend.
DRAFT
V onhof:
· Thanked everyone for coming and offering their comments.
· The Commissioners look at situations city-wide with the Comprehensive Plan and
what fits together.
· Because ofthe intersection of these two major roadways, this property has
potential for this type of land use.

NOVEMBER 27, 2000
The Planning Department received a variance application from Angie Marie
Cawley for the proposed construction of a 24 ft. by 24 ft. detached accessory
structure (garage) on a lot with an existing single family dwelling. The
following variances are being requested:
1. A 2.3 foot variance to permit an accessory structure to be setback
22.7 feet from a property line abutting a public street rather than the
required 25 feet [City Ordinance 1102.800: Residential Performance
Standards; (8)].
2. A 5 foot variance to permit an accessory structure to be setback 5
feet from a rear property line rather than the required 10 feet [City
Ordinance 1102.800 Residential Performance Standards (8)].
3. A 1 foot variance to permit an accessory structures eave to
encroach 4 feet from a side lot line rather than the required 5 feet
[City Ordinance 1101.503 Yard Encroachments (1)].

'"
4. A 1.66 foot variance to permit an accessory structures eave to
encroach 3.33 feet from a rear lot line [City Ordinance 1101.503 Yard
Encroachments (1)].
5. A 582.6 square foot variance to permit a total impervious surface
area of 2,847 square feet (37.7%) rather than the allowable
impervious surface coverage area of 2,264.4 square feet (30%) [City
Ordinance11 04.306 Impervious Surface Coverage; (1 )).
DISCUSSION:
Lot 6, Subdivision of Outlot A, Grainwood Park, was platted in 1946. The
property is located within the R-1 (Low Density Residential) and the SO
(Shoreland Overlay) districts. The lot is not riparian but is a corner lot. The
applicant does not own either of the adjacent parcels. The lot is 51.7 feet wide
at the rear property line, approximately 68 feet at the widest point and 125 feet
deep at the interior lot line with a total lot area of 7,548 square feet. The existing
principal structure is setback 50 feet and 30.1 feet from the two property lines
abutting Grainwood Circle. However, the principal structure is only 3.2 feet from
the interior side property line and is considered a nonconforming structure
(Exhibit A Survey).
The proposed 576 square foot detached accessory structure is to be used as a
garage because there is no existing garage on the subject lot (Exhibit B Garage
Plan). The proposed structure is setback 22.7 feet from a property line abutting
a street at its closest point and requires a 2.3 foot variance to comply with a
minimum 25 foot setback to a property line abutting a street [Ordinance Section
1102.800 Residential Performance Standards (8)].
The second variance request for 5 feet is to permit a 5 foot setback to the rear
property line. The minimum rear yard setback for an accessory structure is 10
feet [Ordinance Section 1102.800 Residential Performance Standards (8)]. The
applicant's reason for this location is to save the existing oak tree in the rear
yard. The removal of the oak tree would allow the structure to be relocated 10
feet from the rear line and eliminate this variance request.
In addition, the structure is proposed to be setback 5 feet from the interior side
yard. This complies with the one minimum 5 foot setback permitted for
substandard lots [Ordinance Section 1101.502: Required Yards/Open Space
(8)]. However, with the structure wall setback at 5 feet the eaves will encroach 1
foot into the required 5 foot side yard.
L:\OOFILES\OOV AR\OO-077\VRPTOO-077 .DOC
Page 2
The third and fourth variance requests are needed because the eaves encroach
into the required 5 foot yard area to the side lot line. The attached garage plan
submitted by the applicant proposes eaves/overhangs of 1 foot on the side lot
line and 1.66 feet on the rear lot line (Exhibit B Garage Plan). The City Code
permits a 5 foot structure setback provided no encroachments are within the 5
foot minimum setback [Ordinance Section 1101.503 Yard Encroachments (1).
The two encroachment variances could be eliminated by moving tne garage 1.66
feet closer to the existing dwelling, and 1 foot closer to the street and revise the
street side variance to 3.3 feet).
A legal alternative site exists nearer to the principal structure. This site will
accommodate a conforming accessory structure that avoids the need for 3 of the
5 requested variances.
The fifth variance request is for 518.6 square feet to permit an impervious
surface area of 2,783 square feet (36.8%) by adding 576 square feet to the
existing surface area of 2,207 square feet (29.2%). However, Grainwood Circle
encroaches onto the subject lot for a total of 939 square feet as depicted on the
survey and noted on the impervious area worksheet (Exhibit C ImperviOUS
Surface Worksheet). The applicant is not responsible for this condition and by
crediting this encroachment area of 939 sq. ft., the total impervious surface area
would be 1,844 square feet (24.4%) and within the allowable 30% as permitted
under city code [Ordinance Section 1104.306 ImperviOUS Surface Coverage
(1)].
An 8 ft. by 8 ft. hot tub was recently added to the site prior to completion of the
survey. This adds 64 sq. ft. to the proposed impervious surface area for a total
coverage area of 2,847 sq. ft. (37.7%), and 1908 sq. ft. (25.2%) when credited
for the street encroachment.
The Department of Natural Resources submitted comments on this variance
request and the note is attached. In essence. the DNR believes attempts should
be made to keep the impervious surface coverage no greater than 35% (Exhibit
D DNR Comments). This would require eliminating approximately 204 square
feet from the proposed impervious surface coverage.
Finally, city staff has inspected the subject property and determined additional
items will need to be addressed at the time of building permit application, such
as drainage, and the surrounding grade with slopes exceeding 3 to 1 on the
south and west sides of the garage. Retaining walls will be needed in these
locations for the accessory structure as proposed.
VARIANCE HARDSHIP STANDARDS
Page 3
L:\OOFILES\OOV AR\OO-077\VRPTOO-077 .DOC
1. Where by reason of narrowness, shallowness, or shape of a lot, or
where by reason of exceptional topographical or water conditions or
other extraordinary and exceptional conditions of such lot, the strict
application of the terms of this Ordinance would result in peculiar and
practical difficulties or exceptional or undue hardship upon the owner
of such lot in developing or using such lot in a manner customary and
legally permissible within the Use District in which said lot is located.
Regarding variance requests 1 and 5, undue hardship does exist, as the
platted lot of record is substandard in dimensions and area, the city street
encroaches onto the subject property, and the subject lot has no garage.
Regarding variance requests 2,3,4, an alternative legal building site does
exist without the need for rear setback and encroachment variances.
2. Conditions applying to the structure or land in question are peculiar to
the property or immediately adjoining property, and do not apply,
generally, to other land or structures in the Use District in which the
land is located.
The conditions that apply to the structure and land are peculiar to platted
subdivisions of this era.
3. The granting of the proposed Variance is necessary for the preservation
and enjoyment of a substantial property right of the owner.
Regarding variances 1, and 5, the proposed garage improvement to the
subject lot is not possible without the two requested variances. However, for
variance requests 2,3, and 4, there is a legal alternative location for the
accessory structure that eliminates these variance requests.
4. The granting of the proposed Variance will not impair an adequate
supply of light and air to the adjacent property, unreasonably increase
the congestion in the public streets, increase the danger of fire, or
endanger the public safety.
The requested variances would not adversely affect the above stated values
or endanger the public safety.
5. The granting of the Variance will not unreasonably impact on the
character and development of the neighborhood, unreasonably
diminish or impair established property values in the surrounding area,
or in any other way impair the health safety, and comfort of the area.
Variance requests 2,3, and 4, could affect an adjacent property owner
from constructing a future addition or accessory structure to within 5 feet
L:\OOFILES\OOV AR\OO-077\VRPTOO-077 .DOC
Page 4
from the adjacent lot lines. Variance requests 1, and 5, would not affect
the above stated values.
6. The granting of the proposed Variance will not be contrary to the intent
of this Ordinance and the Comprehensive Plan.
The granting of variance requests 1, and 5, will not be contrary to the intent of
the Ordinance and Comprehensive Plan. The granting of variance requests
2,3, and 4, will be contrary to the intent of this Ordinance and the
Comprehensive Plan.
7. The granting of the Variance will not merely serve as a convenience to
the applicant but is necessary to alleviate a demonstrable undue
hardship or difficulty.
The granting of variance requests 1, and 5, are necessary to alleviate undue
hardship or difficulty. Variance requests 2, 3, and 4, appear to serve as a
convenience to the applicant and do not appear necessary to alleviate
demonstrable undue hardship or difficulty.
8. The hardship results from the application of the provisions of this
Ordinance to the affected property and does not result from actions of
the owners of the property.
Application of the Ordinance provisions does result in hardship regarding
variance requests 1, and 5. The alternative legal building site eliminates
variance requests 2,3, and 4.
9. Increased development or construction costs or economic hardship
alone shall not be grounds for granting a Variance.
This condition does not appear to apply in variance requests 1, and 5.
RECOMMENDATION:
The Planning Staff has determined that variance requests 1, and 5, meet the
stated hardship criteria needed to approve a variance request. However,
variance requests 2, 3, and 4, do not meet the hardship criteria as described in
conditions 1 thru 9, and are contrary to the intent of the City Ordinance and the
Comprehensive Plan. Staff therefore recommends approval of variance
requests 1, and 5, and recommends denial of variance requests 2, 3, and 4.

BE IT RESOLVED BY the Board of Adjustment of the City of Prior Lake, Minnesota;
FINDINGS
I. Angie Marie Cawley has applied for a variance from the Zoning Ordinance in order to
permit the construction of a detached accessory structure on a lot with an existing
single family dwelling located in the R-I (Low Density Residential) and SD
(Shoreland Overlay) Districts at 4260 Grainwood Circle NE, and legally described as
follows:
Lot 6, Subdivision of Outlot A, Grainwood Park, Scott County, Minnesota, according
to the recorded plat thereof.
2. The Board of Adjustment has reviewed the application for variances as contained in
Case File #00-077PC and held hearings thereon on November 27,2000.
3. The Board of Adjustment has considered the effect of the proposed variance upon the
health, safety, and welfare of the community, the existing and anticipated traffic
conditions, light and air, danger of fire, risk to the public safety, the effect on property
values in the surrounding area and the effect of the proposed variance on the
Comprehensive Plan.
4. Because of conditions on the subject property, including substandard lot area, public
street encroachment, and the location of the existing structure, it is possible to use the
subject property in such a way that the proposed variance will not result in the
impairment of an adequate supply of light and air to adjacent properties, unreasonably
increase congestion in the public streets, increase the danger of fire, and danger to the
public safety, unreasonably diminish or impair health, safety, comfort, morals or in
any other respect be contrary to the Zoning Ordinance and Comprehensive Plan.
5. The existing platted lot of record is substandard in area and the proposed garage
structure does not meet required setbacks. This situation creates a hardship with

respect for the preservation and enjoyment of a substantial property right of the
owner.
6. There is. justifiable hardship caused by the substandard lot area, the public street
encroachment, and location of the existing structures. Reasonable use of the property
does not exist without the granting of the variance to permit a garage improvement to
a single family dwelling.
7. The granting of the Variance will not serve merely as a convenience to the applicant,
and is necessary to alleviate demonstrable hardship.
8. The granting of the variance is necessary for the preservation and enjoyment of a
substantial property right of the applicant. The variance will not serve merely as a
convenience to the applicant, and is necessary to alleviate demonstrable hardship.
9. The contents of Planning Case File #00-77PC are hereby entered into and made a part
of the public record and the record of decision for this case.
CONCLUSION
Based upon the Findings set forth above, the Board of Adjustment hereby approves the
following variance for the proposed structure as shown in Exhibit A Revised:
1. A 2.3 foot variance to permit a detached accessory structure to be setback 22.7 feet
from a property line abutting a street rather than the required 25 feet.
2. A 582.6 square foot variance to permit an impervious surface coverage area of 2,847
square feet (37.7%) rather than the allowable coverage area of 2,264.4 square feet

2. The Board of Adjustment has reviewed the application for variances as contained in
Case #00-077PC and held hearings thereon on November 27, 2000.
3. The Board of Adjustment has considered the effect of the proposed variance upon the
health, safety, and welfare of the community, the existing and anticipated traffic
conditions, light and air, danger of fire, risk to the public safety, the effect on property
values in the surrounding area and the effect of the proposed variance on the
Comprehensive Plan.
4. Because of conditions on the subject property, such as, the existence of a legal
alternative buildable site, and the proposed accessory structure's location with regard
to the surrounding property, the proposed variance will result in the impairment of an
adequate supply of light and air to adjacent properties, unreasonably increase
congestion in the public streets, increase the danger of fire, and danger to the public
safety, unreasonably diminish or impair health, safety, comfort, morals or in any other
respect be contrary to the Zoning Ordinance and Comprehensive Plan.

5. The proposed accessory structure increases the existing encroachment into a side and
rear yard setback. The applicant has control over the location and size of the
accessory structure, such that the hardship created has been created by the applicant.
6. While there is an existing structure on the lot, there is no justifiable hardship caused,
as reasonable use of the property exists without the granting of the ~ariance. There is
a legal alternative location for construction of the accessory structure without
vanances.
7. The granting of the variance, as originally requested, is not necessary for the
preservation and enjoyment of a substantial property right of the applicant. The
variance will serve merely as a convenience to the applicant, and is not necessary to
alleviate demonstrable hardship. The factors above allow for an alternative structure
to be permitted with a reduced variance or none at all.
8. The contents of Planning Case #00-077PC are hereby entered into and made a part of
the public record and the record of decision for this case.
CONCLUSION
Based upon the Findings set forth above, the Board of Adjustment. hereby denies the
following variance for an accessory structure (as shown in attached Exhibit A):
1. A 5 foot Variance to permit 5 foot setback for an accessory structure rather than the
required 10 feet setback from a rear property line.
2. A 1 foot variance to permit an accessory structure's eave to encroach within 4 feet of
the adjoining property line rather than the required 5 feet.
3. A 1.66 foot variance to permit an accessory structure's eave to encroach within 3.33
feet of an adjoining rear property line rather than the required 5 feet.
Adopted by the Board of Adjustment on November 27,2000.

NOVEMBER 27, 2000
The Planning Department received a variance application from Brian &
Heather Compton for the proposed construction of a 20 ft. by 28 ft. attached
garage addition to an existing single family dwelling. The following variances
are being requested:
1. A 1.3 foot variance to permit a structure to be setback 23.7 feet from
a rear property line rather than the required 25 feet [City Ordinance
1102.405 Dimensional Standards (3)].
2. A 5 foot variance to permit a structure to be setback 4.4 feet from a
side property line rather than the required 9.4 feet for a minimum
combined yard of 15 feet [City Ordinance 1102.503 Required
Yards/Open Space (8)].
3. A 1.6 foot variance to permit a structures eave to encroach 3.4 feet
from a side property line rather than the required 5 feet [City
Ordinance 1101.503 Yard Encroachments (1)].

~.
(
4. A 483 square foot variance to permit a total impervious surface area
of 1,983 square feet (39.6%) rather than the allowable impervious
surface coverage area of 1,500 square feet (30%) [City
Or~inance11 04.306: Impervious Surface Coverage; (1 )].
DISCUSSION:
Lot 55, Inguadona Beach, was platted in 1924. The property is located within
the R-1 (Low Density Residential) and the SO (Shoreland Overlay) districts. The
lot is not riparian. The applicant does not own either of the adjacent parcels.
The lot is 50 feet wide by 100 feet for a total lot area of 5,000 square feet. The lot
is considered substandard by today's ordinance requirements, one 5 foot side
yard setback is permitted. However, the existing principal structure is setback
5.6 feet from the south property line (Exhibit A Survey Dated 10/21/00).
The proposed attached garage addition was originally depicted as a 494 square
foot addition under a building permit approved in 1999 (Exhibit B Survey
Building Permit #99-1144). This permit application was submitted and
approved for a second story room addition only, and did not include the garage
addition as shown on the survey. The applicant /owner decided to expand the
garage plans subsequent to submitting the garage permit application. "There'is
no existing garage on the subject lot. However, the owner has recently poured
the footings for the garage addition without permit approval.
The proposed revised addition is 20 ft. by 28 ft. plus 8 sq. ft., for a total area of
568 square feet (Exhibit C Garage/House Plan). The applicant is requesting a
1.3 foot variance for a structure setback of 23.7 feet rather than the required 25
foot setback from a rear property line [Ordinance Subsection 1102.405
Dimensional Standards (3)]. Staff believes the garage addition could be
moved forward 1.3 feet or the structures dimension of 28 feet could be reduced
to 26.5 feet. This eliminates the need for the requested rear yard setback
variance of 1.3 feet.
The second variance request is for 5 feet to permit a 4.4 foot structure setback
from a side property line. The minimum side yard setback for a structure on a
substandard lot is 5 feet, provided the combined side yards equal at least 15 feet
[1102.502 Required Yards/Open Space (8)]. As proposed the combined side
yards total 1 0 feet (5.6ft. + 4.4 ft.). The planning staff believes the minimum 5
foot setback should not be compromised. By reducing the garage size to 18.5
feet wide, the setback would be 5.6 feet, which would minimize this variance
request to 3.9 feet, 15 ft. - (5.6 ft. + 5.5 ft.) = 3.9 ft. [Exhibit B Survey B. P. #99-
1144]. In addition, should the adjacent property owner decide to rebuild or
construct an addition in the future, a ten foot setback would be permitted without
the need for an additional variance.
L:\OOFILES\OOV AR\OO-079\VRPTOO-079.DOC
Page 2
The third variance request is for 1.6 feet to allow the structure's one foot eaves
to encroach within 3.4 feet of the north side property line. As proposed, the
existing house structure has 1 foot eaves and matches the garage eaves for a
uniform appearance. City Ordinance permits a 5 foot structure setback provided
no structure encroachments are within 5 feet of the property line [11 01.503 Yard
Encroachments (1)]. However, staff feels the trusses could be designed with 6
inch eaves, which would eliminate the encroachment and requested variance for
an 18.8 foot wide garage plan as recommended by staff. This plan would permit
an eave to protect the building wall from adverse weather conditions and comply
with city code.
A legal alternative site for a garage addition does not appear to exist on the
subject lot without the need for variances. In the past, the Planning Commission
has found hardship and approved variances for properties without a garage. A
site and design exists that will accommodate a garage addition that avoids the
need for 2 of the 4 requested variances.
The fourth variance request is for 483 square feet to permit an impervious
surface area of 1,983 square feet for 39.6% [Exhibit D Impervious Surface
Worksheet]. Building permit #99-1144 includes a copy of the survey that
proposed an impervious surface area of 40%. The applicant explained that the
proposed garage addition site had been an existing concrete driveway and
parking area that has been partially removed to allow for the garage addition.
However, by removing the portion of driveway prior to verification, the city shall
require variance approval to now cover this area with an impervious surface.
The survey submitted with B.P. 99-1144 does not specifically document the
existing impervious surface area as described by the applicant. There does
appear to be an existing concrete driveway in the area of the proposed garage
addition on the approved building permit survey (Exhibit B). Had this area
calculation been documented on an impervious surface worksheet or the survey
at that time, the applicant would be permitted to replace the existing impervious
area, but not expand or increase the total impervious surface area [Ordinance
Subsection 1104.306 ImperviOUS Surface Coverage (1)].
As proposed, the applicant will remove 89 square feet of private road that
encroaches on their lot. In addition, 113 square feet of concrete driveway will be
removed by cutting the driveway back to 5 feet from the side property line in
order to comply with minimum setbacks per City Code (Ordinance Subsection
1107.205 Driveways).
The Department of Natural Resources submitted comments on this variance
request and the note is attached. In essence, the DNR believes attempts should
L:\OOFILES\OOV AR\OO-079\VRPTOO-079.DOC
Page 3
"
be made to keep the impervious surface coverage area to no greater than 35%
without treatment (Exhibit E DNR Comments).
The applic!=lnt has submitted a written statement describing their reasons for the
requested variances (Exhibit F Applicant Letter).
Finally, city staff has inspected the subject property and determined additional
items will need to be addressed at the time of building permit app'lication, such
as drainage, and the surrounding grade with slopes exceeding 3 to 1 on the
north side of the garage. A retaining wall will be needed in this location for the
structure as proposed.
VARIANCE HARDSHIP STANDARDS
1. Where by reason of narrowness, shallowness, or shape of a lot, or
where by reason of exceptional topographical or water conditions or
other extraordinary and exceptional conditions of such lot, the strict
application of the terms of this Ordinance would result in peculiar and
practical difficulties or exceptional or undue hardship upon the owner
of such lot in developing or using such lot in a manner customary and
legally permissible within the Use District in which said lot is located.
Regarding variance request number 4, as a platted lot of record the subject
lot is substandard in dimensions and area, and it appears the existing
impervious surface area of approximately 40% is equal to or greater than the
proposed impervious surface coverage area of 39.6%. In addition, the
subject lot has no garage. Regarding variance request's 1, 2 and 3, an
alternative garage site and design does exist without the need for the side
and rear yard setback and encroachment variances.
2. Conditions applying to the structure or land in question are peculiar to
the property or immediately adjoining property, and do not apply,
generally, to other land or structures in the Use District in which the
land is located.
The conditions that apply to the structure and land are peculiar to the platted
subdivisions of this era.
3. The granting of the proposed Variance is necessary for the preservation
and enjoyment of a substantial property right of the owner.
Regarding variance number 4, the proposed garage addition to the structure
is not possible without the impervious surface variance. However, for
variance requests 1, 2 and 3, there is an alternative design and location for
the structure that eliminates these variance requests.
L:\OOFILES\OOV AR\OO-079\VRPTOO-079.DOC
Page 4
,
4. The granting of the proposed Variance will not impair an adequate
supply of light and air to the adjacent property, unreasonably increase
the congestion in the public streets, increase the danger of fire, or
endanger the public safety.
The requested variances would not adversely affect the above stated values
or endanger the public safety.
5. The granting of the Variance will not unreasonably impact on the
character and development of the neighborhood, unreasonably
diminish or impair established property values in the surrounding area,
or in any other way impair the health safety, and comfort of the area.
Variance requests 1 and 3 could potentially affect an adjacent property
owner from constructing a future addition or accessory structure to within 10
feet from the adjacent lot lines. Variance requests 2 and 4 would not affect
the above stated values.
6. The granting of the proposed Variance will not be contrary to the intent
of this Ordinance and the Comprehensive Plan.
The granting of variance request 4 will not be contrary to the intent of the
Ordinance and Comprehensive Plan. The granting of variance requests 1, 2
and 3, will be contrary to the intent of this Ordinance and the Comprehensive
Plan.
7. The granting of the Variance will not merely serve as a convenience to
the applicant but is necessary to alleviate a demonstrable undue
hardship or difficulty.
The granting of variance request 4, is necessary to alleviate undue hardship
or difficulty as the subject lot has no garage. Variance request's 1, 2 and 3,
appear to serve as a convenience to the applicant and are not necessary to
alleviate demonstrable undue hardship or difficulty.
8. The hardship results from the application of the provisions of this
Ordinance to the affected property and does not result from actions of
the owners of the property.
Application of the Ordinance provisions does result in hardship regarding
variance request number 4. The alternative legal building site and revised
design eliminates the need for variance request 1, 2 and 3.
9. Increased development or construction costs or economic hardship
alone shall not be grounds for granting a Variance.
L:\OOFILES\OOV AR\OO-079\VRPTOO-079.DOC

,
These conditions do not apply to variance request number 4. However, they
may apply to request's 1, 2 and 3.
-
RECOMMENDATION:
The Planning Staff has determined that a revised number 2 variance request, (a
5.5 foot setback), and variance request number 4 (impervious surface area) do
meet the stated 9 conditions of hardship criteria needed for the Planning
Commission to adopt variance approval, because the subject lot is substandard
and does not have an existing garage. However, variance requests 1 and 3, do
not meet the hardship criteria as described in conditions 1 thru 9, and are
contrary to the intent of the City Ordinance and the Comprehensive Plan. Staff
therefore recommends approval of variance request number's 2 (revised) and 4
as requested, but recommends denial of variance requests 1 and 3.
ALTERNATIVES:
1. Approve Variance request number 4 as requested by the applicant and
variance number 2 as revised by staff (3.9 ft. variance) by adopting the
attached Resolution # 00-017PC; and deny variance requests 1 and 3 by
adopting attached resolution # 00-018PC.
2. Approve any variances the Planning Commission deems appropriate under
the circumstances. In this case, the Planning Commission should direct staff
to prepare a resolution with findings approving the variances.
3. Table or continue discussion of the item for specific purpose.
ACTION REQUIRED:
Staff recommends Alternative #1. This action requires two motions.
1. Motion and second adopting Resolution 00-017PC approving: 1) a 3.9
foot variance to permit a 5.5 foot sideyard setback for a 10.1 foot sum of
side yards, rather than the required 9.4 foot setback to maintain a sum of
side yards of at least 15 feet; 2) a 483 square foot variance to permit an
impervious surface coverage area of 1,983 square feet (39.6%) rather
than the allowable coverage area of 1,500 square feet (30%).
2. Motion and second adopting Resolution 00-018PC denying: 1) a 1.3 foot
variance to permit a garage addition to be setback 23.7 feet from a rear
property line rather than the required 25 feet; 2) a 1.6 foot variance to
permit a structures eaves to encroach to within 3.4 feet to an adjoining
side property line rather than the required 5 feet.

BE IT RESOLVED BY the Board of Adjustment ofthe City of Prior Lake, Minnesota;
FINDINGS
1. Brian & Heather Compton have applied for a variance from the Zoning Ordinance in
order to permit the construction of an attached garage addition to an existing principal
structure on a lot located in the R-l (Low Density Residential) and SD (Shoreland
Overlay) Districts at 16466 Inguadona Beach Circle SW, and legally described as
follows:
Lot 55, Inguadona Beach, City of Prior Lake, Scott County, Minnesota, according to
the recorded plat thereof.
2. The Board of Adjustment has reviewed the application for variances as contained in
Case File #00-079PC and held hearings thereon on November 27,2000.
3. The Board of Adjustment has considered the effect of the proposed variance upon the
health, safety, and welfare of the community, the existing and anticipated traffic
conditions, light and air, danger of fire, risk to the public safety, the effect on property
values in the surrounding area and the effect of the proposed variance on the
Comprehensive Plan.
4. Because of conditions on the subject property, such as substandard lot area, location
of the existing structure and no garage, it is possible to use the subject property in
such a way that the proposed variance will not result in the impairment of an adequate
supply of light and air to adjacent properties, unreasonably increase congestion in the
public streets, increase the danger of fire, and danger to the public safety,
unreasonably diminish or impair health, safety, comfort, morals or in any other
respect be contrary to the Zoning Ordinance and Comprehensive Plan.
5. The existing platted lot of record is substandard in area and the proposed garage
structure does not meet required setbacks. This situation creates a hardship with

respect for the preservation and enjoyment of a substantial property right of the
owner.
6. There is justifiable hardship caused by the substandard lot area, the location of the
existing structure and no existing garage. Reasonable use of the property does not
exist without the granting of the variance to permit a garage improvement to a single
family dwelling.
7. The granting of the Variance will not serve merely as a convenience to the applicant,
and is necessary to alleviate demonstrable hardship.
8. The granting of the variance is necessary for the preservation and enjoyment of a
substantial property right of the applicant. The variance will not serve merely as a
convenience to the applicant, and is necessary to alleviate demonstrable hardship.
9. The contents of Planning Case File #00-79PC are hereby entered into and made a part
of the public record and the record of decision for this case.
CONCLUSION
Based upon the Findings set forth above, the Board of Adjustment hereby approves the
following variance for the proposed structure as shown in a revisea Exhibit A:
1. A 3.9 foot variance to permit a structure to be setback 5.5 feet from a side property
line for a 10.1 foot sum of side yards rather than the required 15 feet sum of side
yards. 0
2. A 483 square foot variance to permit an impervious surface coverage area of 1,983
square feet (39.6%) rather than the allowable coverage area of 1,500 square feet
(30%).
The following conditions must be adhered to prior to the issuance of a building permit for
the proposed structure:
1. Applicant to submit a revised survey (Exhibit A Revised) to be approved prior to
recording this resolution.
2. The building permit is subject to all other City Ordinances and applicable agency
regulations.
3. The variance must be recorded and proof of recording submitted to the Planning
Department within 60 days. An Assent Form must be signed and, pursuant to Section
1108.400 of the City Code, the variance will be null and void if the necessary permits
are not obtained for the proposed structure within one year after adoption of this
resolution.

4. Because of conditions on the subject property, such as, a legal alternative site exists,
and the proposed structures location with regards to the surrounding property, the
proposed variance will result in the impairment of an adequate supply of light and air
to adjacent properties, unreasonably increase congestion in the public streets, increase
the danger of fire, and danger to the public safety, unreasonably diminish or impair
health, safety, comfort, morals or in any other respect be contrary to the Zoning
Ordinance and Comprehensive Plan.

5. The proposed garage addition structure increases the existing encroachment into a
side and rear yard setback. The applicant has control over the location and size of the
attached garage structure, as such, the hardship has been created by the applicant.
6. While there is an existing structure on the lot, there is no justifiable hardship caused,
and that reasonable use of the property exists without the granting of the variance.
There is a legal alternative location and plan design for constructiqn of the attached
garage structure without the variances.
7. The granting of the variance, as originally requested, is not necessary for the
preservation and enjoyment of a substantial property right of the applicant. The
variance will serve merely as a convenience to the applicant, and is not necessary to
alleviate demonstrable hardship. The factors above allow for an alternative structure
to be permitted with a reduced variance or none at all.
8. The contents of Planning Case #00-079PC are hereby entered into and made a part of
the public record and the record of decision for this case.
CONCLUSION
Based upon the Findings set forth above, the Board of Adjustment hereby denies the
following variance for an accessory structure (as shown in attached Exhibit A):
1. A 1.3 foot Variance to permit a garage addition to a principal structure to be setback
23.7 feet from a rear property line rather than the required 25 feet.
2. A 1.6 foot variance to permit a structure's eave to encroach within 3.4 feet of an
adjoining side property line rather than the required 5 feet.
Adopted by the Board of Adjustment on November 27,2000.

EXHIBIT F APPLI'CANT LETTER
To Whom It May Concern:
We are currently in the process of repairing and remodeling our home due to
rotting. We have an existing permit for our house, which we obtained October of
1999. Our previous survey showed the proposed garage and the survey was
stamped approved by the various departments. We were told when we were
ready to do the garage to turn the plans in then. Because everything had been
approved we dug the trench for the garage footings and formed them up this
year. When we called for the footings inspection the inspector told us there was
no variance sheet in the file and the survey only showed a 19-foot garage not a
20-foot garage.
We had our survey corrected to what we had originally intended and it now
shows everything correctly. Our existing impervious surface used to be over
40% but the first surveyor never recorded the existing, only the proposed. In all
actuality we are reducing the impervious surface from what it was originally. If
necessary we can also cut out the portion of the road that was incorrectly paved
(it is part of our property) to reduce it further.
We are trying to meet the intent of the building codes and ordinances. We
understand the purpose of the stipulations. The structure to the North of our
property is approximately 21 feet from the property line; the encroachment on
this property line still meets the intent.
, We own a very sub-standard lot and we are trying to improve and repair the
structure without hardship to anyone else in the process.
Thank you for considering this application.
Sincerely,
Brian and Heather Compton

_X_ YES NO
NOVEMBER 27, 2000
On June 28, 1999 the Planning Commission granted Robert Jader a variance to
construct a single family dwelling at 14962 Pixie Point Circle. On June 20,2000,
Mr. Jader's Builder, Charles Cudd Co., LLC, was issued Building Permit #00-
0478 for the proposed structure as surveyed by Brandt Engineering & Surveying.
Upon commencing construction the footing contractor apparently mistook the
wrong side yard setback mark and placed the front southwest corner of the
building less than the required 5 foot setback to the side property line. On
October 13, 2000, the property owner made application for the necessary
variances.
DISCUSSION:
The staff was in the process of drafting the variance report to be presented to the
Planning Commission for the public hearing scheduled on November 27,2000.
Staff contacted the owner and land surveyor for additional information and was
informed that the garage portion of the structure had been revised by the
contractor in the field and did not match the original building plans or the survey
submitted for the building permit. It was determined this dimensional revision
was not accurately reflected on the as built survey, and what affect this change
created on the requested variances.

RECOMMENDATION:
The Planning Staff has concluded that the revised building dimensions are
necessary to accurately reflect the requested variances, and recommends to the
Planning Commission that this matter be continued to the next scheduled public
hearing on December 11,2000.
ALTERNATIVES:
1. Defer action to accurately determine the building dimensions and depict on
the as built survey.
2. Continue discussion of the item for specific purpose.
ACTION REQUIRED:
Motion and second to continue the public hearing on the requested variances to

On October 2, 2000, the City Council adopted Resolution 00-100. This resolution
modified the original conditions of approval at the request of the developer and allowed
the developer to plat the future park as Outlot A. In return, the developer agreed to
satisfy the parkland dedication requirements by a cash dedication. The developer also
agreed to voluntarily donate Outlot A to the City.
PROPOSED FINAL PLAN
Density: The plan proposes 102 units on a total of 12.7 acres. Density is based on the
buildable acres of the site, or in this case on 9.2 net acres. The overall density proposed
in this plan is 11 units per acre.
Lots: The preliminary plat consists of 3 lots for the multifamily buildings and one outlot.
This outlot is 8.19 acres in area and will be deeded to the City for use as a park.
Buildin2 Styles: The proposed development consists of one 54-unit congregate senior
housing building and two 24-unit senior condominium buildings. The 54-unit building
consists of 1 and 2 bedroom apartments, a common library and a common party room.
This building also includes 54 underground parking stalls. The building is 3 stories in
height, and uses jumbo brick and steel siding as the exterior finish. The two 24-unit
buildings consist of 2 and 3 bedroom units with exterior decks or patios, as well as 24
underground parking spaces in each building. These buildings are also 3 stories in height
and use steel siding as an exterior finish.
Con2re2ate Housin2 Requirements: In order to qualify as elderly housing, at least
60% of the units in the 54-unit building must be occupied by single persons at least 60
years of age, or by couples with one or both being at least 60 years of age. The property
owner must record a covenant to run with the land in a form approved by the City, which
restricts the use of the property to occupancy by the elderly. The development must also
provide a lounge or other indoor community rooms in a size equal to 15 square feet per
unit. The proposed 54-unit building includes a library and party room equaling 866
square feet in area, which exceeds the minimum requirement. The developer has not
provided any covenants for review. The developer has submitted a copy of the
"Creekside Estates Condominium Declaration." Staff has forwarded this to the City
Attorney to determine if this document meets the requirements for congregate housing.
Setbacks: The setbacks for a multifamily building are based on the height of the
building, as well as the length of the building.
The 24-unit building is 31' tall and 193' long. The required and proposed setbacks for
this building are as follows:

The 54-unit building on Lot 3 is 35' high and is 175' long on the east side and 215' long
on the south side. The required and proposed setbacks for this building are as follows:

Wetland 30' from 100 year flood elevation 19'-20'
Parking 15' from back of curb 15'
The developer requested, and received, modifications to the required setbacks from the
City Council. The final site plan is consistent with those modifications.
Lot Covera2e: The maximum ground floor area is 0.35. The ground floor area proposed
on Lot 1 is 0.25, on Lot 2 it is 0.22 and on Lot 3 it is 0.33.
Useable Open Space: Multifamily dwellings must have a minimum useable open space
of 400 square feet per unit, and no more than 50% of the required space can be located in
the front yard. In addition, the Zoning Ordinance requires a minimum of 25% ofthe
usable open space for congregate or elderly housing be developed as outdoor recreation
or garden area. The plan does not meet the minimum open space requirements; however,
the City Council also approved a modification to this requirement.
Parkin2: Multifamily dwellings require 2 parking spaces per unit. Elderly (congregate)
housing requires 0.5 parking spaces per unit. The proposal provides at least 48 spaces for
each of the 24-unit buildings (2 per dwelling unit), which is consistent with the minimum
Zoning Ordinance requirements. There are 96 spaces (1.7 per unit) provided for the 54-
unit building. This is also consistent with the minimum ordinance requirements.
Landscaping: The landscaping plan has been revised to meet the ordinance
requirements for number, size and type of landscaping. An irrigation plan for this
development has also been provided. Some of the proposed landscaping appears to be
1:\OOfiles\OOpuds\creekside final\pud pc report.doc
Page 4
located within the public right-of-way. The plan must be revised to ensure there are no
plantings in the right-of-way. In addition, the Building Official has noted there must be a
minimum 10' separation between the landscaping and any fire hydrant and P.LV.
Signs: The proposal includes two monument signs of 48 square feet. This is consistent
with the Zoning Ordinance, which allows two monument signs of 50 square feet at each
major entrance to the development. The Zoning Ordinance also allows an individual
nameplate signs of 6 square feet for each building. The sign plan does not indicate any
nameplate signs. It should also be noted the site plan, the landscape plan and the lighting
plan are inconsistent as they relate to the number of signs. These plans must be revised
so they are consistent in terms ofthe number and locations of signs on the site.
Lighting: Streetlights will be provided on the public streets. The developer has also
provided a lighting plan for the parking lots.
Streets: This plan proposes one new public street. Tranquility Court is a 335' long cul-
de-sac located at the intersection ofPriorwood Street and Five Hawks Avenue. The street
has a 60' wide right-of-way and a 32' wide surface. This street provides access to all of
the proposed lots.
Included in this site is 66' wide road and utility easement extending from Five Hawks
Avenue on the south to Five Hawks Avenue on the north. This proposal does not include
the extension ofthis street, but it does maintain the right-of-way.
Sidewalks/Trails: This plan includes a trail connection from Five Hawks Avenue on the
south to Five Hawks Avenue on the north. This trail is separate from the nature trails
around the pond. A portion of this trail has been graded, although it is not completely
within the existing road easement. The developer has provided a plan for the extension of
the trail and the pedestrian bridge to the north.
Parks: This proposal does not include any specific parkland. As noted above, however,
the developer will satisfy the parkland dedication requirements by a cash dedication. The
developer is also voluntarily donating Outlot A to the City to utilize as parkland. This
arrangement provides some tax benefits to the developer.
Phasing: This project is proposed to be completed in two phases beginning in 2000 and
ending in 2001.
ANALYSIS:
The Final PUD Plan is consistent with the approved preliminary plan. The developer has
generally complied with the conditions of approval. There are some revisions required to
the site plan and the landscaping plan. All of the plans must be complete and in final
form before this plan will proceed to the City Council.

PLANNED UNIT DEVELOPMENT PRELIMINARY PLAN
RESOLUTION 00-88
RESOLUTION APPROVING A PLANNED UNIT DEVELOPMENT PRELIMINARY PLAN
TO BE KNOWN AS CREEKSIDE ESTATES ADDITION
MOTION BY: MADER
SECOND BY: GUNDLACH
WHEREAS: Eagle Creek Villas, LLC and Freedom Development have submitted an application for a
Planned Unit Development Preliminary Plan to be known as Creekside Estates; and
WHEREAS: The Prior Lake Planning Commission considered the proposed Planned Unit
Development Preliminary Plan at a public hearing on July 10, 2000 and on August 14,
2000; and
WHEREAS: notice of the public hearing on said PUD Preliminary Plan has been duly published in
accordance with the applicable Prior Lake Ordinances; and
WHEREAS, the Planning Commission proceeded to hear all persons interested in this issue and
persons interested were afforded the opportunity to present their views and objections
related to the Creekside Estates PUD Preliminary Plan; and
WHEREAS: The Prior Lake City Council considered the proposed PUD Preliminary Plan for on
September 18, 2000; and
WHEREAS: the City Council finds the PUD Preliminary Plan consistent with the Comprehensive Plan
and the Zoning Ordinance; and
WHEREAS: the City Council finds the PUD Preliminary Plan is compatible with the stated purposes
and intent of the Section 1106 Planned Unit Developments of the Zoning Ordinance.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT HEREBY RESOLVED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF PRIOR LAKE,
MINNESOTA:
1. It hereby adopts the following findings:
a) Greater utilization of new technologies in building design, materials, construction and land
development.
The proposed development utilizes underground parking areas to allow more efficient use
of the land. The clustering of the structures also allows preservation of the wetlands and
wooded areas on the site.
b) Higher standards of site and building design.
The clustering of the buildings allows for the preservation of the natural amenities on this
site. ..

, ,
c) More efficient and effective use of streets, utilities, and public facilities to support high
quality land use development at a lesser cost.
This development includes one cul-de-sac providing access to all of the units. The
property owner will maintain the parking areas and internal road systems.
d) Enhanced incorporation of recreational, public and open space components in the
development which may be made more useable and be more suitably located than would
otherwise be provided under conventional development procedures.
The preservation and dedication of the western portion of the site ,as parkland and the use
as of this site a nature area provide an amenity that can be utilized by the public. The trail
connection from Five Hawks Avenue on the south to Five Hawks Avenue on the north will
provide a link to the public park system.
e) Provides a flexible approach to development which allows modifications to the strict
application of regulations within the various Use Districts that are in harmony with the
purpose and intent of the City's Comprehensive Plan and Zoning Ordinance.
The use of the PUD allows the higher density to be clustered on the portion of the site
previously graded. The density and type of housing units is consistent with the
Comprehensive Plan goals to provide a variety of housing styles.
f) Encourages a more creative and efficient use of land.
As noted above, the PUD allows the higher density areas to be clustered, and preserves
open space.
g) Preserves and enhances desirable site characteristics including flora and' fauna, scenic
views, screening and buffering, and access.
Clustering the units does allow the preservation of some of the wooded areas on the site.
The plan must address the landscaping and bufferyard requirements of the ordinance.
h) Allows the development to operate in concert with a Redevelopment Plan in certain areas
of the City and to insure the redevelopment goals and objectives within the
Redevelopment District will be achieved.
This criterion is not applicable.
i) Provides for flexibility in design and construction of the developmentin cases where large
tracts of land are under single ownership or control and where the users) has the potential
to significantly affect adjacent or nearby properties.
The use of the PUD allows the clustering of the buildings and the preservation of the
natural amenities on the site.
j) Encourages the developer to convey property to the public, over and above required
dedications; by allowing a portion of the density to be transferred to other parts of the site.
While the plan proposes the conveyance of Outlot A to the School District for use as a
nature area, the staff recommends this area be dedicated as park. No additional density
has been requested.
k) The design shall consider the whole of the project and shall create a unified environment
within the boundaries of the project by insuring architectural compatibility of all structures,
efficient vehicular and pedestrian circulation, aesthetically pleasing landscape and site
features, and efficient use and design of utilities.
The designs of the buildings are similar in nature. The use of Class I materials will .
increase the value of this design. Revision of the landscaping plan to meet the
requirements of the Zoning Ordinance will also enhance this area.
l) The design of a PUD shall optimize compatibility between the project and surrounding
land uses, both existing and proposed and shall minimize the potential adverse impacts of

the PUD on surrounding land uses and the potential adverse effects of the surrounding
land uses on the PUD.
The use of the PUD will preserve the area directly adjacent to the single family homes,
and will allow the creation of a trail between the existing streets.
m) If a project for which PUD treatment has been requested involves construction over a
. period of time in two or more phases, the applicant shall demonstrate that each phase is
. capable of addressing and meeting each of the criteria independent of the other phases.
This project is proposed to be completed in one phase.
n) Approval of a PUD may permit the placement of more than one building on a lot.
This is not applicable. Each of the buildings is on a separate lot.
0) A PUD in a Residential Use District shall conform to the requirements of that Use District
unless modified by the following or other provisions of this Ordinance. 1) The tract of land
for which a project is proposed shall have not less than 200 feet of frontage on a public
right-of-way; 2) No building shall be nearer than its building height to any property line
when the property abutting the subject properly is in an "R-1" or "R-2" Use District;. 3) No
building within the project shall be nearer to another building than ~ the sum of the
building heights of the two buildings, except for parking ramps which may be directly
connected to another building; and 4) Private roadways within the project site may not be
used in calculating required off-street parking spaces.
The proposal meets the above requirements with the exception of the modification
requested by the developer to decrease building setbacks and to decrease the open
space on the lot containing the 54-unit building created as part of the PUD and
preliminary plat from 400 square feet per unit to 330 square feet per unit. These
modifications are permitted under the PUD provisions at the discretion of the Council.

requiring a reasonable portion of any proposed subdivision be dedicated to the public for
public use as parks, recreational facilities, playgrounds, trails, wetlands, or open space.
The statute also provides that "the municipality may choose to accept an equivalent
amount in cash from the applicanf'; and
the City's Subdivision Ordinance Section 1006.800 requires the developer to dedicate
land, or in the sole discretion of the City, cash in lieu of land, for the use by the City as
parks, trails or open space; and
the land to be developed as Creekside Estates is owned by Eagle Creek Villas, LLC
("property owner'); and
the developer of Creekside Estates is David Bell d/b/a Freedom Consulting and
Development ("developer'); and
City Code requires both the fee owner and the developer to sign the application for the
Preliminary PUD Plan and the preliminary plat; and
the City Council isaware that Minnesota Statute Section 462.358, Subd. 2b requires the
City to elect a land dedication, a cash dedication or a combination thereof; and
Resolutions 00-88 and 00-89 require a land dedication; and
after Resolutions 00-88 and 00-89 were adopted, the City was contacted in writing by
the property owner and developer requesting the City reconsider its decision to require a
land dedication and instead to accept a cash dedication; and
the property owner(s) and developer have offered the City an inducement to accept
cash in lieu of land; and
the inducement offered by the property owner(s) and developer is that if the City will

pressure in any manner from the City has indicated its concurrence with the foregoing
paragraph.
Now THEREFORE, be it resolved by the City Council of the City of Prior Lake that:
1. The recitals set forth above are incorporated herein as if fully set forth.
2. The City desires to maintain 8.19 acres located at the intersection of Five Hawks Avenue and
Priorwood Street and identified as Outlot A, as shown in the approved preliminary plan of
Creekside Estates, for park and recreational use.
3. To assure the land is so preserved, the City required, as a condition of preliminary plat approval,
that Outlot A be dedicated to the City to meet the City's park dedication requirement.
4. The property owner and developer have, subsequent to the passage of Resolutions 00-88 and 00-
89, requested the City reconsider its decision and accept cash in lieu of land, but that the property
owner(s) with the concurrence of the developer, has offered to gift and convey to the City the land
identified in paragraph 2; and
5. The City agrees to accept cash to satisfy the City's park dedication requirement instead of land,
subject to the representation by the property owner(s) and developer that the land described in
paragraph 2 will be voluntarily conveyed to the City as a gift.
6. The City is aware that the property owner(s) and/or developer may claim a tax deduction for
income tax purposes as a result of said gift of land.
7. The City has not offered any tax advice with respect to the property owners and/or developer plan
to gift the land identified in paragraph 2 to the City.
8. The City agrees for purposes of final plat approval to accept for park dedication requirements
$16,510 in cash instead of the land requirement set out in condition 2a in Resolution 00-88, and
condition 81 in Resolution 00-89, prescribed in the Resolution approving the preliminary plat.
9. The applicant's offer to gift the land to the City and pay $16,510 as park dedication fee is
completely voluntary, and to attest thereto, the property owners' and developer's signatures shall
be affixed to this Resolution in the space provided below prior to the City Council consideration of
this matter.
10. The gift to the City of the property identified as Outlot A on the approved preliminary plat is a
separate and unrelated transaction from the overall subdivision and therefore, the property
owner(s) and developer waive any claims that the combination of the cash park dedication fee and
the subsequent gift of the Outlot A to the City could be construed as an excessive or unlawful
exaction or taking by the City.
11. The property owner(s) and developer recognize this is a legal document and may want to consid~
seeking legal counsel before affixing their signatures hereto.
..
12. This document does not become effective until executed by the property owner(s) and developer.
