The request includes the following: · Approve a Conditional Use Permit for a cluster development; · Approve a Preliminary Plat. The Planning Commission originally considered this request at a public hearing on March 12, 2001. At that time, the property had not been rezoned, so the Planning Commission deferred action until the City Council had made a final decision on a rezoning request for this property. Also on March 12t\ the Planning Commission and the staff took the opportunity to raise several issues with the developer pertaining to this development, including the need for parkland on the site, the need to extend the proposed streets, and the grading of the site. The City Council approved an ordinance rezoning this property to the R-2 district on April 2, 2001. On April 9, 2001, the Planning Commission considered the revised plans. The Planning Commission ultimately determined it is not possible to connect the roads to the west and the south due to the existing development and the wetland mitigation area. The plan does provide a future access to the north. The developer also submitted a revised proposal identifying parkland on the site. The Commission determined there should be some parkland at this location since there will not be many more 1:\01 files\OI subdivisions\prelim plat\centex\centex cc.doc Page 1 16200 Eagle Creek Ave. S.E., Prior Lake, Minnesota 55372-1714 / Ph. (952) 447-4230 / Fax (952) 447-4245 AN EQUAL OPPORTUNITY EMPLOYER Ilr 'Ii . , opportunities to obtain parkland on the west side of CSAH 83. The Planning Commission recommended approval of these applications subject to conditions. A draft copy of the minutes ofthe March 12, 2001 and April 9, 2001 Planning Commission meetings are attached to this report. Current Circumstances: The total site consists of 40.43 acres. The net area of this site, less County road right-of-way and wetlands, is 33.87 acres. This site has a varied topography, with elevations ranging from 1,000' MSL at its highest point to 912' MSL at the lowest point. The high point of the site is located in the southwest comer of the site. The site generally drains south towards the wetland located at the northwest comer of the site. The property also contains areas with slopes exceeding 20 percent, primarily surrounding the wetland. This site has been actively farmed for several years. There is a stand of trees located along the south boundary of the property, and along the west boundary of the property. The project is subject to the Tree Preservation requirements of the Zoning Ordinance. There is one 4.3 acre wetland located at the northwest comer of this site. The plans do not indicate any disturbance of this wetland. Access to the site is from CSAH 83 on the east side of the site. The access point to this site is located across from Wilds Parkway. At one point, there was some discussion about providing access from this site to the SMSC property to the south. However, the SMSC has indicated this access is not desirable since an existing residential lot would have to be removed to make the connection. The property to the west is also part of the SMSC trust land, and is used as a wetland mitigation area. The plat does provide a future access to the property to the north. This property is designated for Urban Low to Medium Density Residential uses on the 2020 Comprehensive Plan Land Use Map. The entire site is located within the current MUSA boundary. The site is zoned R-2 (Low to Medium Density Residential). The R-2 district permits a maximum density of7.2 units per acre. The developer submitted revised plans for this development on April 18,2001. The following information is a summary of these plans. Density: The revised plan proposes 114 units on a total of 40.43 acres. Density is based on the buildable acres of the site, or in this case on 33.87 net acres. The overall density proposed in this plan is 3.36 units per acre. 1:\01 files\O 1 subdivisions\prelim pJat\centex\centex cc.doc Page 2 Lots: The preliminary plat consists of 54 lots for single family homes and 60 lots the townhouse units. There are also 2 lots for the common open space, an outlot in the northwest comer of the site, and a park. The single family lots meet the R-2 standards. They range in size from 8,060 square feet to over 25,000 square feet, with lot widths from 62' to 80' at the front building line. Outlot A, located in the northwest comer of the site, has no access from a public street or from any public property. The Planning Commission recommended the outlot be dedicated as park and the developer has indicated his intention to do this. The proposed townhouse lots are "envelope" lots encompassing the building footprints. The common area for this development is also platted into 2 lots. Buildine Styles: The proposed plan calls for 2-story single family dwellings, ranging in size from I, 700 square feet to 2,400 square feet. Each dwelling would also include an attached 2-car garage. Some of the wider lots can accommodate 3-car garages. The proposed townhouse units consist of 4-unit buildings. The townhouses are designed as 2-story, slab-on-grade buildings with double car garages. The exterior materials are brick and vinyl siding. There are no porches or decks included with the townhouse units, although each unit has a patio. Setbacks: The plan proposes the minimum 25' front yard and rear yard setbacks and 10' side yard setbacks for the single family lots. For the townhouse portion of the development, the plan proposes a 25' setback from the front property line, a minimum 25' rear yard setback, and a minimum 20' building separation (foundation to foundation) between the townhouses. The plan also notes a 30' setback from any wetland and storm water pond. Lot Coveraee: The R-2 district allows a maximum ground floor area of 0.30. The ground floor area proposed in this plan is 0.12. Useable Open Space: The R-2 district also requires a minimum of 600 square feet of useable open space per unit for cluster developments. The proposed common area adjacent to the townhomes provides open space for this development; the calculations indicate 1.57 acres of open space, or 1,143 square feet per unit. Parkine: The proposal provides at least 2 spaces per dwelling unit, which is consistent with the minimum Zoning Ordinance 1:\01 files\O 1 subdivisions\prelim plat\centex\centex cc.doc Page 3 . " ....- . 11 requirements. Based on the site plan, each single family home and townhouse unit will have a two car garage. Landscapine: Section II 07.1900 lists the landscaping requirements for this development. There are two different types of landscaping required for this development. First of all, perimeter landscaping is required for the townhouse portion of the development with buildings consisting of 3 or more units at a rate of I tree per unit or I tree per 40' feet of perimeter, whichever is greater. In this case, the length of the perimeter requires 69 trees. In addition, 2 front yard trees are required for each single family lot. Comer lots will require at least 4 front yard trees. The single family portion of the development requires a minimum of 116 front yard trees. Staff calculations indicate a total of 189 trees are required for this development. The revised landscaping plan is consistent with the ordinance requirements. However, the number of trees indicated within the key on the plan is not consistent with the number of trees shown on the plan. This key must be revised. Furthermore, an irrigation plan has not been provided. The landscaping plan must also be signed by a registered landscape architect as required by the Zoning Ordinance. Tree Replacement: The applicant has submitted an inventory identifying 151 caliper inches of significant trees on the site. The plan indicates removal 91 caliper inches, or 60.3% of the significant caliper inches for grading. This would require replacement of approximately 27 caliper inches, or II, 2.5 caliper inch trees. The landscaping plan identifies 13, 2.5" trees as replacement trees. These are located within the park area. The plan should be revised to locate the replacement trees on the common area or on individual lots. A possible location for the replacement trees is along the south property boundary. Siens: The site plan includes a project monument sign located at the entrance to this site. A concept plan for the sign notes it will not exceed the 50 square feet allowed by the Zoning Ordinance. Liehting: Street lights will be provided on the public streets. Streets: This plan proposes three new public streets. Street "A" is a 1,450' cul-de-sac extending from CSAH 83 to the west side of the property. Street "B" is a 675' long cul-de-sac extending from the south side of Street "A" to the southwest. Street "C" is a I ,000' long through street extending north from Street "A" to the north boundary of the plat. Section I 006.202 of the Subdivision Ordinance limits the maximum length of a cul-de-sac to 500 feet. All of the cul-de-sacs exceed this length. The Planning Commission determined the grade and other 1:\01 files\O 1 subdivisions\prelim plat\centex\centex cc.doc Page 4 physical constraints on this site limit the possibilities for eliminating these cul-de-sacs. The Planning Commission recommended the City Council grant variances for each of the cul-de-sacs. Sidewalks/Trails: The plan proposes sidewalk along the north side of Street "A" from CSAH 83 to Street "C", and then along the entire length of Street "C to the north property line. Parks: The parkland dedication requirement for this development is 10% of the gross land area, or 4.04 acres. The revised plan includes an 8.94 acre park. The net area of the park, less wetlands, ponds and steep slopes, is 1.93 acres. While the proposed park does not meet the dedication requirements, it does provide a usable park for this site. The Planning Commission concluded there were few opportunities to provide usable parkland on this site. The Planning Commission also recommended that Outlot A, which includes approximately 0.76 acres of upland area, be dedicated as park. This would provide some future opportunities to develop a park and trail on the north side of the wetland when the area to the north develops. The remaining dedication requirements would be satisfied by a cash dedication. It is contemplated that the portion of the park adjacent to the street would contain playground equipment. The area shown as Outlot A in the northwest comer of the plat may be developed as parkland when the area to the north is developed. Under this scenario, the City would maintain the remainder of the land dedicated as park. The Public Works Department is concerned about the maintenance of some of this area. The staff is still discussing the details about which area should be dedicated as park, and which area should be maintained by the homeowner's association. Sanitary Sewer and Water Main: Sewer and water services can be extended to serve this site from the existing utilities located in CSAH 83 and Wilds Parkway. Storm Sewer: The plan proposes a series of storm sewer pipes and catch basins that direct runoff to a NURP pond located on the north side of the site, east of the existing wetland. The Issues: There are two separate applications included in this request: one for a conditional use permit for the townhouses and one for a preliminary plat for the entire development. The issues for each application are discussed below. (1) Conditional Use Permit Plan: The proposed CUP must be reviewed in accordance with the criteria found in Section 1108.202 of the Zoning Ordinance. This section provides that a conditional use 1:\01 files\O 1 subdivisions\prelim plat\centex\centex cc.doc Page 5 . ~ , . fT shall be approved if it is found to meet specific criteria. The Planning Commission addressed these criteria as shown below. (1) The use is consistent with and supportive of the goals and policies of the Comprehensive Plan. The Low to Medium Density Residential designation allows townhomes and cluster housing up to 10 units per acre. This development is consistent with those goals, and with the policy to provide a mix of residential housing styles. (2) The use will not be detrimental to the health, safety, morals and general welfare .of the community as a whole. This use will not be detrimental to the health, safety, morals and general welfare of the community. The use is consistent with the adjacent development. (3) The use is consistent with the intent and purpose of the Zoning Ordinance and the Use District in which the Conditional Use is located. In general, the proposal meets the provisions of the Zoning Ordinance. There are some minor revisions required to the landscaping plan to ensure compliance. (4) The use will not have undue adverse impacts on governmental facilities, services, or improvements which are either existing or proposed. The developer will install all utilities necessary to serve this site. The sewer lines have the capacity to serve this site. The proposed NURP pond and storm water sewer system will be designed to accommodate runoff from this site. The parkland dedication requirements for this site can be satisfied by a combination of land and cash dedication. (5) The use will not have undue adverse impacts on the use and enjoyment of properties in close proximity to the conditional use. The use will not have an adverse affect on that property. (6) The use is subject to the design and other requirements of site and landscape plans prepared by or under the direction of a professional landscape architect, or civil engineer registered in the State of Minnesota, approved by the City Council and incorporated as part of the conditions imposed on the use by the City Council. A civil engineer has prepared the plans. The landscape plan must be prepared and signed by a registered landscape architect. 1:\01 files\O 1 subdivisions\prelim plat\centex\centex cc.doc Page 6 (7) The use is subject to drainage and utility plans prepared by a professional civil engineer registered in the State of Minnesota which illustrate locations of city water, city sewer, fire hydrants, manholes, power, telephone and cable lines, natural gas mains, and other service facilities. The plans shall be included as part of the conditions set forth in the Conditional Use Permit approved by the City Council. The plans have been prepared by a civil engineer and reviewed by the City Engineering Department. Some modifications are required, and will be made prior to approval of the final plat for this site. (8) The use is subject to such other additional conditions which the City Council may find necessary to protect the general welfare, public safety and neighborhood character. Such additional conditions may be imposed in those situations where the other dimensional standards, performance standards, conditions or requirements in this Ordinance are insufficient to achieve the objectives contained in subsection 1108.202. In these circumstances, the City Council may impose restrictions and conditions on the Conditional Use Permit which are more stringent than those set forth in the Ordinance and which are consistent with the general conditions above. The additional conditions shall be set forth in the Conditional Use Permit approved by the City Council. The suggested conditions and modifications for approval of this plan are listed below, and must be incorporated into the plans prior to final approval by the Council. Section 1102.403 (1) lists the specific criteria for a cluster development in the R-I district. These criteria are discussed below: a. Cluster housing shall meet the following minimum requirements: (1) No more than four dwelling units shall be incorporated in a single building; (2) The density of development shall not exceed the density allowed in an "R-1" Single Family Residential Use District; (3) This subsection shall not be applied to conversion of existing dwelling units into cluster housing but may be applied to site clearance and redevelopment. Existing units may be incorporated into new development plans when such units are not converted or added to; (4) There shall be 600 square feet of usable open space for each dwelling unit. The proposal meets the above criteria. b. The applicant shall clearly demonstrate through the application and site plan that a superior development would result by 1:\01 files\O 1 subdivisions\prelim plat\centex\centex cc.doc Page 7 _ ~ r . 11 clustering. The presence of a superior development shall be determined by reference to the following criteria: (1) The presence and preservation of topographic features, woods and trees, water bodies and streams, and other physical and ecological conditions; (2) Suitable provisions for permanently retaining and maintaining the amenities and open space; (3) Locating and clustering the buildings to preserve and enhance existing natural features and scenic views, aesthetically pleasing building forms and materials, addition of landscaping to screen development, recognition of existing development and public facilities, and consistency with City goals and plans for the areas. This site is suitable for cluster development due to the topography and wetlands on the site. The townhouse portion of the development attempts to preserve many of the steep slopes by designating this area as common open space. (2) Preliminary Plat: With some modifications, the proposed preliminary plat meets the standards of the Subdivision Ordinance and Zoning Ordinance. The major engineering issue on this site is pertains to the grading of the site. The design currently includes 3: 1 slopes in the backyards of several of the single family homes. The maximum slope in maintained areas is 4: I. The developer has indicated the grading plan will be redesigned to provide retaining walls where necessary to maintain the 4: I slopes. Conclusion: The Planning Commission also concluded the proposal met the requirements for a conditional use permit and preliminary plat. The Planning Commission recommended approval of the conditional use permit and the preliminary plat subject to the following conditions: 1) Eliminate 2 single family lots along the north side of Street "A" to provide a more usable park area. Outlot A must also be dedicated as parkland. 2) Identify the usable open space for the townhouse development on the site plan and provide the necessary calculations to determine the minimum requirements are met. 3) Revise the landscaping plan to meet the Zoning Ordinance requirements. An irrigation plan for the townhouse portion of this development must also be submitted. 4) Include the necessary replacement trees on the landscaping plan. 5) Provide plans and elevations for the proposed monument sign. 1:\01 files\O 1 subdivisions\prelim plat\centex\centex cc.doc Page 8 FISCAL IMPACT: AL TERNATIVES: 6) Submit homeowner's association documents for the townhouse development. 7) Provide a name for the proposed subdivision. 8) Provide street names for the public streets. 9) Address the following comments from the Engineering Department: (a) Provide a grading plan at a scale 1 " = 50' or larger. (b) Show OHWLfor DNR wetland #158w. (c) Provide revised storm water calculations, along with a drainage boundary map. (d) Coordinate runofffrom C.R. 83 with Scott County. The County has a NURP pond shown on the SE corner of the property on their preliminary plans. (e) Provide an access road to the NURP pond for maintenance purposes with a slope ~ 8%, and a width of 1 0 '. (f) Maximum slope of grading in maintained areas is 4:1. This affects the entire grading plan. Redesign to 4: 1 slopes or use retaining walls as necessary. (g) Check backyard swales in Block 3, eliminate/minimize where possible. Try to eliminate backyard catch basins where possible. Several side and back yard swales appear to be outside of drainage easements. (h) The pads on Lots 41 & 42, Block 3 must be 1 foot higher than the E. o.F. (i) Extend water main along the western part of the property to the north property line for future looping. (j) The water main from the connection at Wilds Parkway extending through to the north end of Street "C" should be 12" in size. The City will pay oversizing costs through the Development Contract. (k) Eliminate the 8" water main loop along C.R. 83. Revised plans for the development were submitted by the developer on ApriI18,2001. These plans reflect some ofthe above conditions. The attached resolutions lists the conditions which should still be included as part of approval of this proj ect. Budl!et Impact: The construction of new dwellings will provide additional tax base to the City. The City Council has three alternatives for each application: 1:\01 files\O 1 subdivisions\prelim plat\centex\centex cc.doc .

Prior Lake, MN 55372-1714 --- . .'-'1 -.._--~~- { ! Dear Jane Kansier, Enclosed is a check in the amount of $2070.00, a property owner's list, location map and a preliminary plat and a conditional use permit application. I have also attached a copy of each application with Mr. O'Loughlin's signature as you have requested in the past. Pioneer Engineering should have delivered the preliminary plat and other pertinent plans to your office on Friday January 26th. Made part of my submittal are the building plans for the 4-unit row townhome and the foundation-planting plan. The following is a description of information requested in the application requirements: RezoninQ An application for rezoning has been submitted to the city for review. The rezoning request consists of removing the property from the shoreland district and rezoning the property to R-2 (Single Family) consistent with the city's comprehensive land use plan designation of Low/Medium Density Residential. Proposed uses, density. lot size, acreaqe The preliminary plat subdivides approximately 40 acres into 54 single family homesites and 68 townhomes homesites. The overall density of the two products is 3.2 units per acre which is well below the allowed density in the R-2 District of 7.2 units per acre. The single-family lots have an average lot area of 13,225 square feet and the town homes are at approximately 2397 square feet. Housinq type. desiQn, and architectural stvle The single-family homes will all be a 2-story design. Square footages will range from 1700s.f. to 2400s.f. Rather than having the garage dominate the front of the home, the home is designed with living space above the garage so the garage becomes part of the home. The architectural style is eclectic with most homes having front porches. Customers will have a variety of brick and stone to choose from that can be incorporated into the home by either accenting detail or acting as the primary elevation treatment. Given the topographical condition of the site a variety of walkout, daylight and full basement lots will be available. Again, because of the grade change on site, some of the lot conditions will be side walkouts or daylights The row townhomes are currently designed as slab on grade buildings. We are researching the possibility to offer some of the buildings as full basements with walkout conditions next to the pond. Both the single family and townhome product will include a minimum of a 2-car garage. About half of the single-family homesites will provide for an optional third stall to be added. Protective convenants and restrictions will be recorded against the single family homesites and townhomes. I have attached an example of the document used in another neighborhood and would expect a similar language for the O'Loughlin parcel. Neiqhborhood amenities. siqnaqe and landscapinq The n,eighborhood IS designed around a natural wetland feature and dedicated parkland. The combination of the two provide functional qualities while enjoying the undisturbed natural feature of the site. As a -2- January 29, 2001 gateway into the neighborhood, an entrance sign and landscaping will be provided. The exact design has not been determined at this time. Attention will be given to mitigating any impacts County Road 83 may present. Wherever possible, berming and landscaping will be utilized to protect the neighborhood from the roadway. In addition, the change in grade from the county road to the site will be utilized to help in these efforts. Street lighting and signs will be provided as required by the city. Single family mailbox locations will be strategically placed to coincide with utility boxes and/or street lights to minimize the number of structures along the street. Mail box clusters of 2,3 and 4 will be used throughout. The townhomes will include CBU units or some comparable clustering system. Based on your review and comments additional information can be provided. Please let me know if there is anything, you need and I will make sure you receive it so there are no delays to our application.

Description of Project The site is approximately 40 acres located west of Scott County Road 83 and 1/4 mile south of County Road 42 directly west of Wilds Parkway, in the City of Prior Lake. The subject site is in the SE 1/4 of the NW 1/4 of Section 28, Township 115 North, Range 22 West, Scott County, Minnesota. The proposed project will include the grading, utility and street construction for 54 single family homes and 68 townhomes. ll. Project Manager The project manager and project engineer shall be responsible for various aspects of the construction and are as follows: Proiect Manager Steve Ach Centex Homes 12400 Whitewater Drive, Suite 120 Minnetonka, Minnesota 55343-9466 952-936-7833 Proiect Engineer Nicholas Polta Pioneer Engineering 2422 Enterprise Drive Mendota Heights, Mn 55124 651-681-1914 Ill. Existing Site Conditions The site is actively farmed with a rotation of crops over the years it has been farmed. The low areas of the site have been used in years as pature. The slopes of the site are relatively steep, with elevations on the site ranging from 1002 to 912., generally the slope falls from south to north. Two fields entrances are located along County Road 83, on at the northeast corner of the site the other directly across from Wilds Parkway. The site drains to a 4.3 acre wetland on the north boundary of the site. The Shakopee Mdewaketo Sioux Community owns the property to the south and west of the site. The use of the south land is primarily single family homes. The property to the north is still used for agricultural eurposes. The Wilds Development lies across County Road 83 to the east. Although undeveloped at this time the planned unit development has a mixture of commercial and public uses programed along the county road. IV. Soils and Slopes The United States Department of Agricultures Soil Survey identifies the onsite soils as primarily Hayden, Glencoe and Terril Series of loarns and sandy loarns. The Hayden Series on the uplands are described as good for embankment and foundations with slight erosion potential. The lowland area running from south to north in the center of the site contains the Terril Series. These soils are described as good for foundation and embankment after the have been stripped down to the underlying till. The wetland areas contain the Glencoe Series, which are deemed poor for construction purposes. These areas have been avoided. Comprehensive soil testing was performed onsite by Braun Intertec (see soils report), their analysis substantiates the suitability of the onsite soils for the construction purposes of the development. Topsoil will be stripped and stockpiled onsite to provide for six (6) inches of repsread across all turfed areas after grading completion. The site has 3.94 acres of slopes in excess of 20 percent (%) as defmed by ordinance. These areas and their corresponding slopes have been delineated on the Preliminary Plans. During construction a geotechnical engineer will be onsite inspecting soil conditions and providing analysis of the soils. v. Erosion Control Measures Approved best management practices (BMP) of the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency (MPCA) as stipulated in Protecting Water Ouality in Urban Areas shall be followed. These include but are not limited to the following: All denuded and stockpile areas shall not have a slope greater than 3: 1 All disturbed area shall receive temporary seed, mulch and disc anchoring if no significant grading is to occur for 30 days. All finished grade area shall be seeded mulched and anchored within 14 days after complete grading. A seed mixture designed for the soil characteristics and area plantings shall be approved by the City Engineer. III if . I IT A separate cool seed mixture will be designed for dormant seed planting in the fall. Peak Discharge from all storm sewers shall not exceed the original peak discharge from the watershed. All storm sewer outlets shall have rip rap outlets designed to City Standards. All Storm Sewer outlets shall not have discharges greater than 4 feet per second. Gravel construction entrances and a street sweeping program shall be used to ensure minimal soil is removed from the site. Inlet protection for storm sewer shall be implemented until streets are paved and turf is established. Erosion control fences shall be installed around all wetlands and water quality ponds until area plantings have been established. At which time the erosion control fence shall be moved to the edge of the structure setback. Water quality ponds will be used as temporary sedimentation basin during construction. The grading contractor is responsible for maintaining drainage to the ponds and between the ponds and wetlands, by the use of perforated stand pipes. VIT. Storm Water Management A preliminary hydrology and water quality needs analysis has been performed for the site. A single water quality pond is proposed for the site. The water quality and hydrology calculations are attached for review. The pond is designed to meet the water quality needs of the site, as well as maintaining flow rates offsite to existing conditions. It should be noted that the analysis did not include any offsite flow from offsite. The City of Prior Lake Storm Water Management Plan has defined a need for trunk utilities to extend from the south of the site, northward into the wetland. Scott County has also expressed interest in utilizing a portion of the site for the upgrade of County road 83. As these needs are defined they will be incorporated into the VITI. Wetland Delineation Melchert Wallky has prepared a Wetland Delineation Report and survey for the subject property. A copy of this report is attached. No wetland impacts are anticipated for the site. IX. Traffic Control The contractor is responsible to provide to the City of Prior Lake and the Scott County Highway Department a detailed traffic control/sign plan for construction on the site. XI. Construction Sequencing The following is a rough schedule for construction, contingent upon the approval of the project by all oertinent regulatory agencies : I. Install perimeter erosion control fence, erosion control fence around wetlands and gravel construction entrances. May 1, 2001 II. Begin Mass grading May 3, 2001 III. Finish Grading, Respread topsoil, seed and mulch June 15, 2001 IV. Begin construction of utilities and streets June 15, 2001 v.

Prior Lake, MN 55372-1714 RE: April 9, 2001 Planning Report Dear Jane Kansier, I wanted to provide a response to the concerns outlined in the Planning Report that will be presented to the Planning Commission April 9, 2001. Parle Area We will provide some alternative park designs at Monday's meeting to assist in facilitating a preferred park design. As you know the park design has been a critical component in determining what happens to the overall site design. Once we get through park issue several of the other issues should fall into place. Useable Open Soace We will provide a plan at the meeting that highlights the required area to meet the 600 square feet per unit. In general, the proposed plan provides a minimum of 30 feet behind the townhome buildings. The slope on those areas is or can be adjusted to meet the maximum 10%. In addition, the park area immediately adjacent to the townhomes will certainly provide a large amount of recreational opportunity available to the residents. Outlot A Outlot A is a remnant that should be attached to the adjoining parcel. We will be discussing the outlot with Mr. O'Loughlin who currently owns the property to the north. To include Outlot A as part of the single- family lots would be awkward since it is on the other side of the wetland and not accessible from the single-family lots. LandscaPing Centex will provide the required number of yard trees for the single family homesites and required number of trees based on site perimeter for the tOwnhome area. I would request that one of the two required yard trees be planted as a boulevard tree. This will enhance the streetscape and add to the character of the neighborhood. An inigation system will be provided in the townhome area. The exact design will be prepared after the landscaping plan has been finalized. Vegetationffree Replacement Centex will meet the requirements for tree replacement. The numbers shown on our plan include saving some trees along the west property line. Apparently your calculations have those trees being removed with grading. If the trees are removed Centex will make the necessary replacements. We would like the opportunity to try and save the trees during the grading operation, which can be better assessed with field verifying the trees as grading progresses. Entrance Sign A specific monument sign has not been designed for this neighborhood. I would anticipated a sign similar to the design I faxed to you on Friday April 6,2001. Centex will meet the necessary sign standards as they relate to setbacks, area and height. r\- - . Homeowner's Association Documents These documents will be provided prior to submitting for final plat approval. Once the preliminary plat is approved the appropriate information can be included in the documents. Neighborhood Name Upon approval of the preliminary plat a neighborhood name will be created and included on the final documents and final plat Engineering Deoartment Comments Nick Polta from Pioneer Engineering has spoke with Sue McDermott regarding her issues. It is my understanding that Sue believed these technical issues could be addressed between the preliminary and final plat. The last issue I would like to bring relates to the cul de sac length. As part of the Planning Commission and City Council action the cul de sac length should be approved as part of the preliminary plat. As you have presented in the report there is no option to extend the streets to the west or south because of the wetland mitigation area and lack of interest on the part of the Mdewakanton Sioux Community. The constraints placed on the property have created a unique circumstance to warrant the cul de sac lengths. If there is any other issues that I should be prepared for at Monday's meeting please call me in advance of the meeting. ~ Land Development Manager Centex Homes 111 !: . 11 ..... f,' H\",' !ii Itill';;;,' . ~!! ..

RE: O'Loughlin Property (Project #01-32) The Public Works Department has reviewed the revised preliminary plans for the subject project and we have the following comments: 1. Provide a grading plan at a scale 1" = 50' or larger. 2. Show OHWL for DNR wetland #158w. 3. Provide revised storm water calculations. along with a drainage boundary map. 4. Coordinate runoff from C.R. 83 with Scott County. The County has a NURP pond shown on the SE comer of the property on their preliminary plans. 5. Provide an access road to the NURP pond for maintenance purposes with a slope S 8%, and a width of 10'. 6. Maximum slope of grading in maintained areas is 4: 1. This affects the entire grading plan. Redesign to 4:1 slopes or use retaining walls as necessary. 7. Check backyard swales in Block 3, eliminate/minimize where possible. Try to eliminate backyard catch basins where possible. Several side and back yard swales appear to be outside of drainage easements. 8. The pads on Lots 41 & 42, Block 3 must be 1 foot higher than the E.O.F. 9. Extend water main along the western part of the property to the north property line for future looping. 10. The water main from the connection at Wilds Parkway extending through to the north end of Street "C" should be 12" in size. The City will pay oversizing costs through the Development Contract. 11. Eliminate the 8" water main loop along C.R. 83.

We strongly recommend that Street C be platted and constructed to the north property line to allow for a future connection. This internal street connection will allow residents of the development to travel to the future commercial property and possibly CSAH 42 without the conflicts of a more highly traveled CSAH 83. + We have discussed preliminary plans with the city for another access to CSAH 83 just north of this property. This northerly access to CSAH 83 will likely serve future commercial businesses. This will create two accesses to CSAH 83 within a Yz mile of CSAH 42. In the interests of safety and efficiency, optimal spacing between signals is Yz mile. If commercial development occurs to the north, the northerly access to CSAH 83 may be more likely to be signalized. Under this scenario, residents of this development could travel Street C to utilize the northerly traffic signal. . All existing field accesses or driveways to the property along CSAH 83 shall be completely removed from the County right-of-way and graded to match surroundings. + Any change in drainage entering the County right-of-way shall require detailed drainage calculations to be submitted to the County Engineer for review and approval. . An access pennit for Street A shall be required. We will coordinate plans for the reconstruction of CSAH 83 with the city and developers as necessary. + No benning, landscaping, ponding, or signing shall be allowed in the County right-of-way. + A utility permit shall be required for any work within the County right-of-way. Thank you for the opportUnity to comment. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me. Sincerely, - 4p~ Transportation Planner Email: Greg llkka, Assistant County Engineer Brian Sorenson, County Transportation Engineer An Equal Opportunity/Safety Aware Employer INTEROFFICE MEMORANDUM TO: FROM: RE: DATE: PLANNING/ENGINEERING Ralph Teschner, Finance Director O'Loughlin Parcel- Preliminary (assessment/fee review) March 30, 2001 A 40 acre parcel comprising PIN #25 928 011 0 identified as the O'Loughlin parcel is proposed to be developed. This area has received no prior assessments for City municipal utilities. Since utilities are available to the property site, the cost for the extension of services internally will be the responsibility of the developer. In addition to these improvement costs, the subdivision will be subject to the following City charges: Collector Street Fee Stormwater Management Fee Trunk Sewer & Water Fee Lateral Sewer & Water Charge $1500.00/acre $2943.00/acre $3500.00/acre 150' @ $60.00/ff The application of applicable City development charges would generate the following costs to the developer based upon a net lot area calculation of 20.43 acres of single family and townhouse units as provided within the site data summary sheet of the preliminary plat description: Collector Street Fee: 20.43 acres @ $ 1500.00/ac = $30,645.00 Storm Water Manal1;ement Fee: 20.43 acres @ $2943/ac = $60,125.00 Trunk Sewer & Water Charl1;e: 20.43 acres @ $3500.00/ac = $71,505.00 Lateral Sewer & Water Charl1;e: 150' @ $60.00/ff= $9,000.00 These charges represent an approximate cost of $1,4 77 .00 per lot for the 116 proposed single family and townhouse units within the O'Loughlin parcel. Assuming the initial net lot area of the preliminary plat does not change, the above referenced storm water, collector street, tr:Ynk and lateral sewer and water charges would be determined and collected within the context of a developer's agreement for the construction of utility improvements at the time of final plat approval. There are no other outstanding special assessments currently certified against the property. Also, the tax status of the property is current with no outstanding delinquencies.

ILJ Ifl ~~ Fe 12m ~. 12 February 2001 Ms. Jane Kansier, Planner City of Prior Lake 16200 Eagle Creek Ave. S.E. Prior Lake, MN 55372-1714 RE: Comments on the O'Loughlin Proposed Preliminary Plat Dear Ms. Kansier: The following constitutes the comments of the Shakopee Mdewakanton Sioux Community (SMSC) on the application for a Conditional Use Permit (CUP) and preliminary plat by Centex homes on the O'Loughlin parcel, Pill # 25-928-01-0. The SMSC, besides being an adjacent land owner, is a sovereign government with reservation lands abutting the proposed development and downstream along the draining watercourse. Tribal lands are not in private ownership but are under the direct jurisdiction of the Tribal Government. They are subject to tribal and federal regulatory jurisdiction. This includes any negative impacts that may arise off the tribal lands but travel onto them. Comments in this letter are the official comments of the SMSC Tribal Government. Wetlands Boundarv Based on aerial photography and visits to the property SMSC staff believe the wetland boundary may be incorrect. Drain Tile The SMSC staff observed a drain tile exit near the wetland in the north central portion of the parcel. The drain tile runs from the southeast, near Mystic Lake, to the northwest, terminating in the wetland. Water drains from this tile even during dry parts of the year. The southeastern inlet has never been accurately located by the SMSC. Personal communications from local residents indicate that the tile entrance is at or near Mystic Lake. rfthis is true, removal of this drain may affect the level of Mystic Lake. This could impact a DNR wetland located on the south end of Mystic Lake, SMSC lands, Scott County Road 83 and portions of the Wilds Golf Course. The developer should provide information on the location of this tile and an analysis of potential impacts to the lake level. Final Grading Slope Erosion The plat shows areas of very steep slopes, some immediately adjacent to the boundary of wetlands and tribal lands. These slopes are going to be highly erodible. They also alter the character of the natural area located on tribal lands west of the proposed plat. A significant portion of the steep slope area is covered by drainage easements. The CUP and plat approval should, at a minimum, require that this drainage easement be maintained in permanent vegetative cover, preferably other than turf grass. Standard turf grass is not appropriate for this slope area. It is not likely to provide sufficient soil stabilization to prevent erosion on this slope. Mowing and maintenance of turf grass on the slope will be difficult and will likely result in a poor appearance. Water Oualitv On a slope of this gradient, turf grass will provide a very low retention time for storm water surface flow. Lawn chemicals and other contaminates will reach the wetland areas very quickly. This has the potential for dramatic negative impacts on the water quality. Much of the slope area is directly adjacent to a wetland. If this slope is to provide any buffer for water quality purposes it should be maintained in natural grasses. Turf grass immediately adjacent to a wetland creates a high potential for negative water quality impacts. Storm water Stormwater management on the proposed plat poses several major issues. Untreated Stormwater Discharge The grading plan for the proposed plat shows stormwater drains on the western cuI de sacs that terminate directly into a wetland without treatment. This is not an acceptable practice in Minnesota. Regardless of the acceptability in :Minnesota, as a government with downstream receiving waters, the SMSC will not accept the water quality impacts. These drains must flow into a properly designed stormwater retention and treatment pond. Pond Design The design of the retention and treatment pond shown on the plan is poor and it will not function as intended. The wetland area immediately adjacent to this pond has a direct hydrologic connection to the wetland on SMSC land to the west. . The average water level in 1999 for this wetland was 911.9 feet above sea level. . This is based on measurements from multiple piezometer nests in the area. The pond has a designed Normal Water Level (NYVL) of 909.0 above sea level. The designed high water level is 912.5. As designed, this pond will be at or near its ma.'Ximum water level nearly all of the year and would be completely inundated for the wet seasons. As designed, the pond is completely nonfunctional and merely provides a deep spot in the overall wetland complex. Residence time of water entering this pond would be near zero. III II'" . IT "'_..~.. .--.-- '-~----_.~ .--~-.-------_.,------_" -.' Biota uptake of nutrients would be nearly zero in the pond. The "pond" would not provide any energy dissipation to allow settling of sediment. The stormwater and all of its contaminates would have a direct conduit onto the regional drainage system. This is an unacceptable impact on water quality. Federal Permittimz The SMSC is a downstream recipient of waters originating on the proposed development. Any NPDES permit for discharge will likely require approval of the United States EP A. The EP A would consult with the SMSC before making any approval. Erosion control plans and stormwater discharge control plans may also require federal approval. County Road U!JQI'ade The SMSC and Scott County are in the process of upgrading Scott County 83 along the eastern boundary of the project area. The plans for this upgrade require a stormwater treatment pond in the southeast portion of the plat. If this pond is eliminated ponding provided in the plat must be sufficient to contain and treat the highway runoff. Given that the pond, as designed, is not likely to provide any treatment, the potential for additional stormwater input is a serious issue. Traffic There is potential for traffic congestion at the entrance to the proposed development. The developer should provide a full analysis of the impact of the traffic on the existing and upgraded county road. Summary This development is in an area of steep, highly erodible slopes immediately adjacent to a wetland. Design of the plat does not appear to recognize these facts. The final grading design is poorly planned and will, most probably, result in direct introduction of high levels of contaminates and eroded soil into the wetland. The stormwater drainage system is completely non-functional. It only serves to move the contaminated stormwater into the regional drainage system as quickly as possible. Down stream water quality will probably be impacted. Permits will likely be required through both state and federal agencies. There is potential to impact the level of Mystic Lake and its associated wetlands. Given the problematic design of the proposed development the SMSC requests that the City of Prior Lake Planning Commission recommend denial of the Conditional Use Permit and the preliminary plat.

I r Planning Commission Meeting April 9. 2001 The Planning Commission originally considered this request at a public hearing on March 12, 200 I. The Planning Commission deferred action on this request until the City Council acted on the proposed rezoning of the property. At the same time, the Planning Commission and the staff identified some of the outstanding issues with the original proposal. Among other items, these issues included the proposed parkland, the need to extend proposed streets to adjacent properties and the 20% slopes on the site. On April 2, 2001, the City Council approved the rezoning of this site to the R-2 District. The applicant also submitted revised plans on March 30,2001. The original proposal included 122 dwelling units on 33.87 net acres, for a total density of3.6 units per acre. This development included 54 single-family dwellings and 68 dwelling units in 17 four-unit buildings. The following outstanding issues pertaining to this development include the following: I. Eliminate lots along the north side of Street "A" to provide a more usable park area. If it is determined a park is not required at this site, the park should be platted as common area or a part of the proposed lots. 2. Identify the usable open space for the townhouse development on the site plan and provide the necessary calculations to determine the minimum requirements are met. 3. Eliminate Outlot A since there is not access to this outlot. 4. Revise the landscaping plan to meet the Zoning Ordinance requirements. An irrigation plan for the townhouse portion of this development must also be submitted. 5. Include the necessary replacement trees on the landscaping plan. 6. Provide plans and elevations for the proposed monument sign. 7. Submit homeowner's association documents for the townhouse development. 8. Provide a name for the proposed subdivision. 9. Provide street names for the public streets. 10. Address the following comments from the Engineering Department: (a) Provide a grading plan at a scale I" = 50' or larger. (b) Show OHWL for DNR wetland #158w. (c) Provide revised storm water calculations, along with a drainage boundary map. (d) Coordinate runoff from C.R. 83 with Scott County. The County has a NURP pond shown on the SE comer of the property on their preliminary plans. (e) Provide an access road to the NURP pond for maintenance purposes with a slope S 8%, and a width of 10'. (0 Maximum slope of grading in maintained areas is 4: I. This affects the entire grading plan. Redesign to 4: I slopes or use retaining walls as necessary. L:\O J files\O J plancomm\O J pcminutes\mn04090 J .doc 2 Planning Commission Meeting April 9, 2001 (g) Check backyard swales in Block 3, eliminatelminimize where possible. Try to eliminate backyard catch basins where possible. Several side and back yard swales appear to be outside of drainage easements. (h) The pads on Lots 41 & 42, Block 3 must be I foot higher than the E.O.F. (i) Extend water main along the western part of the property to the north property line for future looping. (j) The water main from the connection at Wilds Parkway extending through to the north end of Street "e" should be 12" in size. The City will pay over sizing costs through the Development Contract. (k) Eliminate the 8" water main loop along c.R. 83. Staff felt some of these issues could be addressed at the final plat stage. The major design issues pertaining to the CUP must be addressed before the proposal can be forwarded to the City Council. Staff noted the applicant must submit a signed waiver to the 60-day deadline for action. If the applicant fails to submit this waiver, the Planning Commission should forward this matter to the City Council with a recommendation for denial on the basis the plan does not meet minimum ordinance requirements. Questions from the Commissioners: Atwood: Questioned the elimination of an outlot. Kansier explained the process. Comments from the public: Steve Ach, Centex Homes, addressed the issues in his letter to Jane Kansier dated April 9,2001, which included the park area, useable open space, Outlot A, landscaping, vegetation/tree replacement and the entrance sign. Stamson: . Questioned the marketing target for single family. Ach responded late twenties, early thirties, second-time homebuyers, young professionals, starting families. The townhomes would be for people moving down or young professionals looking for a maintenance-free lifestyle. . Questioned Ach ifhe had a preference for park design between Plans A and B. Ach stated Plan A was fine; it would function well. Plan B addresses more of staff s concern regarding open space. . Questioned if staff felt the plans would work. Kansier said this is the first time staff has seen the revised plans and would have to talk it over with the public works director and maintenance. L:\Olfiles\OI plancornrn\Olpcrninutes\mn040901.doc 3 . 'f' 'lr 'lI' . IT Planning Commission Meeting April 9. 2001 Atwood: . How much land is gained by eliminating the two lots? McDermott responded .4 acres. Criego: . How does one pull out of the townhome garage? And how is that affected when Street C is connected to the northern boundary? Ach said the townhomes were designed so that the residents would have to back straight out into the street. There is no opportunity to turn around and drive out. . Okay for a cul-de-sac or dead-ends, but when it connects to another street it could be a serious problem. Ach responded the key is how the road connects to the north. . How much acreage to develop vs. wetland and pond area? Kansier responded the developable acreage is 33.78 acres. . The requirement is 10% park area of the total. Conservatively that would be 3.8 acres. . How large is outlot A? Ach said it was. 7 acres. . Ach responded part oftheir proposal would be to satisfy the dedication with land, cash, installing some (playground) equipment in the park and building the trail. . Concerned that area is almost landlocked with county roads and trust land. If there is going to be a park, this is where it needs to be. There were no comments from the public and the hearing was closed. Comments from the Commissioners: Lemke: . The property seems very difficult to work with. . Maybe they put forth their best plan but would like to hear other comments. Criego: . Liked the layout for the single-family homes. . There needs to be adequate parkland. . Concerned for the pullouts for the townhomes as it relates to future developments. There will be problems. Similar traffic problems with Eagle Creek/Priorwood residents pulling out into the street. Atwood: . Agreed with Criego regarding the parkland. . Inclined to go with Plan B and remove the 2 single-family lots for more open space. . A 70-foot playground area is small. This issue should be addressed. . Will go along with staffs conditions. L:\OI files\O 1 pIancomm\OI pcminutes\mn04090 I.doc 4 Planning Commission Meeting April 9. 2001 Stamson: · Agreed with fellow Commissioners on the parkland issues. . Plan B is a better option. Liked the increased land and how it opens to the street. . This design is the best with the slopes. . Probably looking at a variance with the streets. . Not as concerned as Criego with the backing out of the townhouses. Will have to look at the street going to the north. This street will not be a shortcut. The alternative is to put in a cul-de-sac, but no one liked that option. . Overall the plan works well. . Agreed with most of staff's concerns. . Questioned the 4 to 1 slope. McDermott said the City's concern was with the single-family area where there is common area that an association will maintain. In a single-family area, it is more ofa concern, as most people want a well- maintained yard. . Overall supports the proj ect. Kansier: . The City needs to know if the developer has signed the 60 Day Waiver. Ach then submitted the Waiver. Lemke: . Agreed it is a difficult piece of property. There is no other alternative but to have the cul-de-sacs. . Concern for the park and the elevation of the terraced retaining walls. Ach explained the contours did not require retaining walls. Plan B is a good option. It will be visually more pleasing. Criego: . With 122 units on small lots, it seems there will be a lot of children, which will require more park area. 10% of the area is park dedication. There should be more acreage. They are short with 1.9 acres. There is no other area for children to play. Maybe some townhouses will have to come out. . Regarding pulling out of the driveways at the townhomes - Agreed with Ach when the property to the north is developed, make every effort to ensure there is not a stream of traffic. . With staff's recommendations, agreed with the development except for the park dedication. Stamson: . What acreage is needed for a development this size? Ach said average lot size is over 13,000 square feet. People may want to put a play area in their own yards. Criego: . Questioned the lot sizes. Nick Polta, from Pioneer Engineering responded. L:\O I fiJes\O I plancomm\O I pcminutes\mn04090 I.doc 5 .11 I i i Planning Commission Meeting Apri/9,2001 Atwood: · With the wetland, the development could err on the side of going smaller on the park because it is going to feel wide open, · Ach said the key is to connect whatever park space to future developments to the north and west. There are further recreational opportunities to the west. Stamson: . Said this is probably an adequate amount of land for a neighborhood playground, given the lot size. These will not be fields for organized sports. Criego: · Why can't Outlot A be dedicated as a parkland area? Ach said the issues were crossing the' wetland and maintenance. . Rye said it would be hard to maintain a bridge or boardwalk and then get equipment over it to maintain the land. . Satisfied if Outlot A would be common area. Stamson: · Maybe take the outlot as parkland and not develop it until the property to the north is developed. . Kansier said the same problem would exist ifit was common property, there's no connection. How does anyone get to it? It is a lot with no access. Would rather see it as an outlot to provide opportunities for future development. It will not be maintained if it is park or privately owned. It will stay natural grasses. Atwood: . What are the contours around the wetland? Concern for small children being drawn to the wetland. McDermott responded Outlot A is part of a higher knoll and did not know how usable it would be. Criego: . What is wrong with leaving Outlot A a common area and not maintain it? There is nothing wrong with leaving it natural. Kansier said the City's concern as an outlot is that there is no access to it. As a City, we would be responsible for this or to provide access to it because it is a lot. It does not solve the problem. . It is a compromise. . Change it to a park. It opens up the area. Stamson: . It does not solve the park issue. It makes the technical definition ofthe park larger but it doesn't expand the usable space for park. Lemke: . Does the City have a separate category for non-maintainable parks? Other than marshland? Kansier responded the City has a list that determines how much L:\OI fiJes\OI plancomrn\Olpcminutes\mn040901.doc 6 Planning Commission Meeting April 9. 2001 credit a developer gets for different types of land. When the area to the north develops it will create some potential for trail connections. · Any issues with parkland abutting up to commercial development? Kansier said there are no problems.

The proposal is to create 54 single family lots and to approve a Conditional Use Permit to allow a cluster development of 68 townhouses. Planning Coordinator Jane Kansier presented the Planning Report dated March 12,2001, on file in the office of the City Planner. Centex Homes and John O'Loughlin have filed an application to develop the property located on the west side ofCSAH 83, 1;4 mile south ofCSAH 42, in the East 'l1 of the Northwest 1;4 of Section 28, Township 115 North, Range 22 West. The request includes the following: . Approve a Conditional Use Permit for a cluster development; . Approve a Preliminary Plat. The proposal calls for a mixed-use development consisting of a total of 122 dwelling units on 33.87 net acres, for a total density of 3.6 units per acre. The proposed development includes 54 single family dwellings and 68 dwelling units in 17 four-unit buildings. The development also includes private open space and a public park. Centex Homes is the developer of this project. John O'Loughlin, the current property owner, has also signed the application. There are several outstanding issues pertaining to this proposed development. These include the following: 1. The property has not been rezoned from the A (Agricultural) district. The City Council will not make a decision on this rezoning until April 2, 2001, at the earliest. 2. The plan does not provide for the extension of streets and utilities to the adjacent undeveloped properties. As noted earlier, it is not practical to extend a street to the west; however, the street must be extended to the north. It may also be possible to provide a connection to the SMDC property to the south. 3. Three of the four proposed cul-de-sacs exceed the maximum length of 500 feet. 4. The proposed parkland consists primarily of a wetland, a storm water pond and steep slopes. The remaining area is a narrow strip of land that will not provide a usable park. 5. The plan does not address the issue of slopes 20% or greater. This plan does not make any attempt to preserve those slopes. The outstanding issue pertaining to this development will require major redesign of the proposal. The current design is not consistent with the Zoning and Subdivision Ordinance requirements. In addition, the development proposal is premature until the rezoning issue has been decided by the City Council. The staff therefore recommends denial of this proposal. L:\OI files\OI plancomm\0Ipcminutes\mn031201.doc 2 III [ . 11 Planning Commission March 12. 2001 Comments from the public: Steve Ach, Centex Homes, said they do not have a presentation for the Commission and are trying to work through staff s concerns and issues. He did not feel the zoning would be a condition of denial. The concept plan does not show a street connection to the north, but if that is the wishes of the Council, they will make the connection. Ach met with Stan Ellison from the Shakopee Mdewakanton Sioux Community who felt there was not enough right-of-way to make a connection to the west. Ach also mentioned they have changed the slab on grade townhomes to have basements. Ach questioned what kind of park is the Commission looking at? Centex is considering a centralized park area. Overall Ach felt they would work out the park issue. The soil tests indicated the area was not erodible and would not be a problem. The applicant is working on addressing the slope issue but does not have the plan down. The new proposal will allow more open space. The floor was closed. Comments from the Commissioners: Atwood: . It seems dual tracked. The Commission does not know what the City Council is looking at for zoning. . Likes the open space. . Questioned Outlot A and the surrounding development. Kansier responded staff did not know what the City Council's zoning intent. . The proposed park as is stands now is not a plus for the area. There are no trails or sidewalks. . The cul-de-sac lengths need to be looked at. . Hard time letting this go through at this time. Stamson: . It is difficult to make a recommendation without the zoning information from the City Council. . Without some direction from the Council it is pointless to go through the process. . Questioned staff if the item can be tabled until information can be obtained from the Council. Kansier said a 60 day waiver would have to be signed by the developer. . Not comfortable making a recommendation. Criego: . Spoke on the slope issue. The area is agriculture - no trees. There is no natural beauty. Not concerned about removal of those particular slopes. It could provide more parks and trail space. . As it relates to park land, the applicant can provide more park land if required. L:\Ol files\Ol plancomm\Olpcminutes\mn031201.doc 3 Planning Commission March 12, 2001 · Questioned staff if there was any reason a walkway (dock) could cross the wetland. McDermott said the City discourages those because of maintenance. It would also involve a permit from the DNR. · Felt there could be something done with the trails. . Regarding the cul-de-sac issue - not sure based on the terrain what the applicant could do. Ach presented a proposal with the cul-de-sac connections (to the west). There would be grading problems. · Nick Polta, of Pioneer Engineering, responded he tried not to have excessive cutting. Tried to keep a lot of the natural exterior. Because of the severe grade, the homes were set in as shown on the proposal. . It is more or less a cost issue. Ach agreed. . The lots meet the R2 standards. . Looking at the alternatives would prefer the first proposal. · How to deal with the cul-de-sacs? That is the realistic issue. The engineering standards have to be met. . Does not have a strong negative feeling against the proposal. It does need more parks and trails; the cul-de-sac length has to be addressed and connection to the north must be made. . Would not recommend approval without City Council's recommendation on the zonmg. Lemke: . Agreed with Criego's comments. . Agreed the existing slopes are not a big issue. . Liked this proposal better than a dense development. V onhof: . Concurred with the Commissioners' comments. . This is premature until there is direction from City Council. . Agreed with Criego on the trails and sidewalks. . A park system has to be worked out within the development. . Ach presented a new concept plan (170 units) with more open space. There are advantages to this proposal as well. It has worked in other communities. It would be a PUD proj ect. . Ach said they typically have sidewalks and can put them in. Atwood: . Questioned the applicant (Ach) ifhe would sign an extension waiver. Ach said Centex would agree to sign. They are in a time constraint with the landowner. He would like to go to the City Council with clear direction between now and April 2. Criego: . Did not like the plan. L:\Ol files\Ol pJancomm\O J pcminutes\mn03J20J.doc 4 III [ . u r Planning Commission March 12, 2001 . Questioned why the applicant went with an 8 and 10 unit plan instead of 4 units. Ach responded they tried to get more open space. It is also a number game to get the best number of units. . Rather have the single and 4-unit buildings on this property. Stamson: . Agreed with Criego, liked the original plan and would like to continue the matter so the developer can work out some time limit with the staff. . It seems the Commission is comfortable with the proposal. Likes the single family homes better.
