RESOLUTION APPROVING A PLANNED UNIT DEVELOPMENT FINAL PLAN
TO BE KNOWN AS JEFFERS SOUTH
MOTION BY: PETERSEN SECOND BY: LEMAIR
WHEREAS: Wensmann Realty, Inc. has submitted an application for a Planned Unit Development
Final Plan to be known as Jeffers South; and
WHEREAS: The Prior Lake Planning Commission considered the proposed Final PUD Plan on
September 9, 2002; and
WHEREAS, the Planning Commission found the Final PUD Plan to be in substantial compliance with
the approved preliminary plan and recommended approval of the Final PUD Plan; and
WHEREAS: The Prior Lake City Council considered the proposed Final PUD Plan on September 30,
2002; and
WHEREAS: the City Council finds the Final PUD Plan in substantial compliance with the approved
Preliminary PUD Plan; and
WHEREAS: the City Council finds the PUD Final 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. The recitals set forth above are incorporated herein as if fully setforth.
2. The City Zoning Ordinance specifies certain criteria be considered as part of evaluating a Planned
Unit Development application.
3. The City Council hereby adopts the following findings:
a) Greater utilization of new technologies in building design, materials, construction and land
development.
The developer has attempted to design the buildings so they fit the land, rather than force
the land to fit the building design. The design, with the exception of the private street,
could also be done as a conventional R-1 cluster development.
b) Higher standards of site and building design.
The developer is utilizing standard construction and design practices for the townhomes.
The lookout style of the buildings utilizes the natural grades of the site where possible.
c) More efficient and effective use of streets, utilities, and public facilities to support high
quality land use development at a lesser cost.

Maintenance of private streets, including plowing and future repairs, is done by the
homeowners association. This reduces City costs in providing services to these homes.
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 proposed parks preserve the wetland and trees on the site. The park can also
continue the trail connection begun in the development to the south. This same
dedication, however, is required under conventional procedures.
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 density and variety 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.
The use of the private streets allows for fewer driveway openings on the public streets.
g) Preserves and enhances desirable site characteristics including flora and fauna, scenic
views, screening and buffering, and access.
The townhouse units are sited to take advantage of the natural views of the wetlands. The
plan provides screening from the adjacent single family homes and the adjacent County
road.
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 development in cases where large
tracts of land are under single ownership or control and where the use(s) has the potential
to significantly affect adjacent or nearby properties.
The use of the PUD allows the clustering of the homes and the use of private streets.
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.
There is no park dedication or open space dedication over and above that required under
conventional procedures.
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 design creates a unified environment in that all of the buildings will be constructed of
similar materials. The extension of the existing private street allows for efficient movement
of traffic. The landscaping plan, meeting the requirements of the Zoning Ordinance, will
also enhance this area.
I) 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 allow the extension of the single family homes adjacent to the
existing residences, and the clustering of the townhouse units.

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 will be constructed in a single phase.
n) Approval of a PUD may permit the placement of more than one building on a lot.
This is not applicable.
o) 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 property 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 modifications requested by the developer include the following:
· The use of private streets.
4. The Planned Unit Development Final Plan is hereby approved subject to the following conditions
a) The Final Plat and Development Contract must be approved by the City Council.
b) The Final PUD Plan and PUD Development Contract must be approved by the City
Council.
c) Upon final approval, the developer must submit two complete sets of full-scale final plans
and reductions of each sheet. These plans will be stamped with the final approval
information. One set will be maintained as the official PUD record. The second set will be
returned to the developer for their files.
5. The Mayor and City Manager are hereby authorized to execute the PUD Development Contract
on behalf of the City.
Passed and adopted this 30th day of September, 2002.
