ITEMS REMOVED FROM THE CONSENT AGENDA:
Consider Approval of a Resolution Approving the Final Plat and Development Contract for the
Developments to be Known as Deerfield 4th and Deerfield 5th Addition.
ERICSON: Discussed the applicant's non-compliance with the City's temporary sign ordinance and
asked if there are enforcement provisions in the development agreement.
BOYLES: Advised that the City had received two signed Development Contracts with the revised
language with respect to placement of temporary signs in the right-of-way. Further noted that violation
of the City Code is a misdemeanor violation punishable by $1000 fine or 90 days imprisonment. The
City is also able to remove and dispose of signage found in violation.
ERICSON: Asked if there are any provisions which would allow the City to stall work progress, and
asked for clarification that the City's sign ordinance is a reflection of state statute.
BOYLES: Advised that the provisions do not go to that extent which would stop work in a development,
and confirmed that there are state statutory provisions that address the issues of sign placement.
MADER: Advised that the state code presumably applies to only state roadways, and the City has
extended the provisions to its City roads.
SCHMITT: Noted that the City Code also increases the penalties.

MIKE SOHL (DR. Horton Homes): Advised that they did receive the change in the Development
Agreement and the issue has been reviewed with the sales staff.
ERICSON: Noted that it appears that the majority of the signs are placed abutting state roadway and
are in violation of state statutes. Advised that the City is making a concerted effort to clean up the
right-of-way and expects the developer to respect the ordinances of the City.
GUNDLACH: Advised that a sales representative had been informed that the City would be confiscating
signs. Noted that other developers have made an effort to comply and it seems that D.R. Horton feels
they are exempt.
SOHL: Advised that D.R. Horton does wish to comply and he will impress that to the sales staff
accordingly.
MADER: Clarified that signs can be placed in Prior Lake just not on the public right-of-way.
ERICSON: Commented that with additional phases of Deerfield planned, it would be best if the
Developer could come into compliance.
MOTION BY ERICSON, SECOND BY ZIESKA TO APPROVE RESOLUTION 01-53 APPROVING
THE FINAL PLAT AND DEVELOPMENT CONTRACT FOR THE DEVELOPMENTS TO BE KNOWN
AS DEERFIELD 4TH AND DEERFIELD 5TH ADDITION.
VOTE: Ayes by Mader, Gundlach, Petersen, Ericson and Zieska, the motion carried.
Consider Approval of a Resolution Approving a Concept Plan for Regional Pond for the Ring
Road Area in Lieu of the Prior Lake Spring Lake Watershed District Required Ponding on the
Crystal Care site, Approving the Incorporation of the Pond Design and Construction with the
Ring Road Project, and Approval of the Use of WSB and Associates to Perform the
Engineering for the Pond Design and Construction (City Project 01-01).
MADER: Asked staff to review the action and discuss why it is important.
OSMUNDSON: Discussed the project for a regional pond in the ring road area which will be the
drainage area for storm water runoff for several sites proposed for development around the Priordale
Mall area. This process will eliminate much of the required ponding which would have been imposed
on developable sites in the area.
MADER: Commented that when the plans for the Crystal Care site came in, there were three required
drainage ponds on that site which is relatively small. Using that information, staff looked for an
alternative in order to deal with the difficult issue of surface water.
ERICSON: Asked if the new Watershed requirements applies to any parcels one acre in size rather
than the previous 3 acres in size would require some sort of on-site ponding. Also asked if the
proposed condominium project is part of the same area.
OSMUNDSON: Clarified that the language is "any land disturbing activity of one acre or more". Believe
part of the condominium project would be in the same drainage area.

PETERSEN: Asked if there would be a need to make the pond larger with respect to the vacation of the
upper part of CSAH 23.
OSMUNDSON: Noted that it is possible that the pond would need to be larger. The idea is for staff to
evaluate long-term needs for all future development in the area.
BOYLES: Advised that the project is a collaborative effort in that the County has agreed to convey the
property to the City through tax-forfeiture conveyance.
MOTION BY ERICSON, SECOND BY ZIESKA TO APPROVE RESOLUTION 01-54 APPROVING

MOTION BY PETERSEN, SECOND BY GUNDLACH TO CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING.

Effective January 2, 2002.
Mayor MADER declared the public hearing open.

conclusion of the hearing.
LEROY ARNOLDI (Scott County Assessor): Briefly discussed the state statutes and County guidelines
and process for determining valuation for properties.
GEORGE THALER (PIO R25-001-03-20): Asked what the maximum percentage increase is for a
commercial property on an annual basis. Discussed his property as compared to sales in the area,

and the large differences in valuation. Believes the assessment for his building doesn't make sense.
Also asked if there is a step grade for how taxes relate to valuation.
ARNOLDI: Advised that there is no maximum percentage basis. With respect to how taxes relate to
valuation for commercial property, discussed that the taxes are tiered to the first $100,000 of valuation
at 3%, and the next tier is 3.4%. The affected tax rate for a commercial property is generally about
4%. There could conceivable be three separate tax rates affecting the building. Suggested setting a
meeting with Mr. Thaler to discuss the property valuation.
MADER: Commented that the Board of Review will need to be continued to May 21, 2001 at which
time Mr. Arnoldi will address the issues raised for this particular property.
MOTION BY ERICSON, SECOND BY ZIESKA TO ADJOURN THE PUBLIC HEARING AT THIS
TIME AND CONTINUE TO MAY 21, 2001.
VOTE: Ayes by Mader, Gundlach, Petersen, Ericson and Zieska, the motion carried.
OLD BUSINESS
Consider Approval of an Ordinance Replacing Prior Lake City Code Section 1000, Subdivision
Regulations
KANSIER: Reviewed in detail the proposed subdivision ordinance and the significant changes from the
current ordinance.
MADER: Asked if it was accurate that under the proposed ordinance a developer has one year under a
preliminary plat and two years under a final plat before they are affected by new ordinances that may
come online.
KANSIER: Confirmed.
ERICSON: Regarding wetland buffer signage, asked if there was going to be a requirement that signs
be placed prior to houses being built or lots bought, and that pathways should be treated in the same
manner. Also suggested that there be some specifics set out with respect to the look of the signs so
that everyone recognizes them as protected wetland. Also noted that since the requirements are
initiated by the Watershed District, they should be responsible for paying for the signs.
KANSIER: Advised page 40 discussed monumentation, but agreed that it should be added that those
items need to be in place or identified to the public prior to people purchasing properties. Assumed
that the Watershed District would stockpile signs for that purpose, but advised she would follow up
regarding the specific procedures.
MADER: Asked what the building setback is from the wetlands.
KANSIER: Under the current ordinance the setback is 30 feet from the 1 OO-year flood elevation. Under
the proposed ordinance, the setback will be calculated at 30 feet from the Ordinary High Water which
is a little lower than the 1 OO-year flood elevation.
MADER: Clarified that the setback could then become as low as 20 feet in some instances.
KANSIER: Confirmed.

MADER: Believed that the setback calculation should be 30 feet from the 1 OO-year flood elevation with
the wetland buffer from the Ordinary High Water mark.
ERICSON: Agreed.
KANSIER: Clarified that the affect of calculating the setback in that manner would be to maintain the
setback and then some distance within that setback there would be a 20-to-30 foot wide buffer.
GUNDLACH: Agreed.
ERICSON: Asked if the delayed effective date of the ordinance would pose any problems for current
projects.
KANSIER: Advised that projects can still operate under the current ordinance and the staff has been a
little more lenient on some of the details of the preliminary plat process given the Council's past input
on being more customer-friendly and a lesser standard of detail at the time of preliminary plat.
MADER: Suggested that the Council could act on the ordinance at this time subject to the amendments
discussed.

The Council took a brief recess.
[Added - Motion to Reconsider Preliminary Plat and Conditional Use Permit for Regal Cres~
MOTION BY GUNDLACH, SECOND BY ERICSON TO RECONSIDER THE APPROVAL OF THE
PRELIMINARY PLAT AND CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT FOR REGAL CREST SOLELY FOR THE
PURPOSE OF ADDRESS PARK LAND DEDICATION.
PETERSEN: Discussed the use of the open space and trail on the plat and how it will address the
needs of the neighborhood. Believed that natural undeveloped parkland should be considered as an
asset, and that parkland doesn't always need to be developed.
GUNDLACH: Indicated that he agreed with Council member Petersen, but is concerned that the
parkland is private land rather than public. Doesn't believe that the parkland should be exclusive to the
Association.
MADER: Reminded Councilmembers that the motion before the Council is to reconsider the item
before additional discussion takes place.
ERICSON: Commented that regardless of the type of park, he believes it may be appropriate to revisit
the issue regarding public park.

ZIESKA: Asked if the reconsideration is for both the preliminary plat resolution and for the conditional
use permit resolution.
SCHMITT: Advised that both resolutions would need to be reconsidered.
The motion and second accepted the amendment.
ZIESKA: Commented that from an administrative standpoint, he believes that the open space in the
plat appears appropriate and, as a matter of policy, unless there is significant new information,
business should not be reconsidered.
MADER: Supported the motion to reconsider only because two Council members have shown some
concerns, and doesn't believe there is significant damaged imposed.
PETERSEN: Believes there is enough land, but has some concern that it remains private.
SCHMITT: Clarified that the cash dedication is $33,000 and not $1400.
VOTE: Ayes by Mader, Gundlach, Petersen and Ericson, Nay by Zieska, the motion carried.
There was some discussion regarding the timeline for a decision.
MOTION BY GUNDLACH, SECOND BY ERICSON TO DIRECT STAFF TO REVIEW THE PARK
LAND DEDICATION ISSUE AND BRING IT BACK TO THE COUNCIL AT THE MAY 18, 2001
REGULAR MEETING.
VOTE: Ayes by Mader, Gundlach, Petersen, Ericson and Zieska, the motion carried.

Ordinance Approving a Zone Change Request from the "A" (Agricultural) District to the "R_4ff

Changing the Approved Exterior Building Materials from Brick and Vinyl Siding to Stucco on
the 24-Unit Building.
BOYLES: Briefly reviewed the staff report and the request before the Council.
KANSIER: Reviewed the drawings and discussed the approved plan and proposed change.

neighborhood was concerned with the quality of the buildin~s a,~d that it I)ot look institutional ~eli~~Efs _ j,

VOTE: Ayes by None, Nayes by Mader, Gundlach, Petersen, Ericson and Zieska, the motion failed.
KANSIER: Suggested that the Council direct staff to prepare findings of fact for denying the resolution

MOTION BY PETERSEN, SECOND BY ZIESKA TO DIRECT STAFF TO PREPARE A RESOLUTION
WITH FINDINGS OF FACT DENYING THE REQUEST TO CHANGE THE PUD.
VOTE: Ayes by Mader, Gundlach, Petersen, Ericson and Zieska, the motion carried.
Consider Approval of a Resolution Approving a Preliminary Plat and a Resolution Approving a
Conditional Use Permit for a Mixed Use Development by Centex Homes Located on the
O'Loughlin Property.
KANSIER: Reviewed the agenda item in connection with the staff report.
MADER: Asked what the past practice is regarding placement of trees with regard to private versus
public property.
KANSIER: Discussed that the ordinance states that the trees have to be on the property, but does
allow some flexibility if there is no room on the site. Staff would have no objection to placing trees on
the public property. In this case, the area would be the only usable space available.
ERICSON: Asked about the minimum width of the streets.
KANSIER: Advised that the streets are 32-foot wide streets, are public and meet public standards
MADER: Asked if there was not SMSC trust land to the west, would the City not accept this length and
type of cul-de-sac.
KANSIER: Confirmed. The trust status of the land to the west and the wetland mitigation prevent us
from developing the streets differently.
ERICSON: Asked the size of the lots that were combined and buildings deleted in order to provide park
land, and if a townhouse cluster could have been deleted instead of single family homes, and what
would the builder prefer.
OSMUNDSON: Advised that the two single family lots that were combined for parkland are about 7/10 of
an acre.
KANSIER: Noted that the single family lots were approximately 17,000 sq. ft. and the four unit
townhouse lot is just under 10,000 sq. ft.
GUNDLACH: Concerned with this particular development because of its isolation from future residential
development and believed that requiring the 10% land dedication was important because there
wouldn't be another chance to add park.

May 7,2001
KANSIER: Discussed the grade constraints which also present difficulties in finding 4 acres of land to
be dedicated for park.
MADER: Asked for clarification as to what property will be dedicated for park and what property will
remain part of the homeowner's association.
OSMUNDSON: Discussed the proposed park and trail areas. Advised that the homeowner's association
could maintain the ditch drainage area of approximately 3.4 acres as natural open space and 1.8
acres in the Outlot, and the City could acquire the 7/10 of an acre upland for developable park and the
trailway area.
GUNDLACH: Asked about the Watershed District regulations regarding the use of the drainage ditch
and Outlot as developable park.
KANSIER: Advised that this area is not within the Prior Lake Spring Lake Watershed District. The
County had no comment. Advised that 1.93 acres is shown in the plans for park without part of the
ditch area. The total to be acquired is approximately 2.69 acres or about 5%.
MADER: Clarified that the park dedication requirement is 4 acres, and the total being left as open
space is 8.94 acres, but because much of that is not useable the developer is only receiving credit for
1.93 acres.
ERICSON: Suggested that the ditch area may be useful park as natural open space. The issue then
becomes maintenance.
OSMUNDSON: Advised that the staff would prefer to see the homeowner's association mow and
maintain the lower grade ditch area, leave Outlot A natural until later, and leaving the remaining area
that will probably become ditch.
ERICSON: Suggested that the City accept the 2.69 acres for park land, but only mow the 7/10 of an
acre parcel next to the road and leave the rest natural with a trail.
MADER: Concerned about giving more credit for parkland than usual for what is really a drainage
ditch. Asked if the issues was whether to give credit for the difference between 1.93 acres and 2.69
acres and the cash dedication. Commented that it seems a trivial amount for the precedent that it
would set. Believes the City's position has been that land dedicated for park should clearly be
useable.
ERICSON: Believed the drainage issues should be considered.
ZIESKA: Suggested that the trail issues should be decided also so that the City is not getting
easements from property owners after the fact.
OSMUNDSON: Advised that the City will be acquiring a water main easement and the idea was that the
trail could possibly be work in that way.
MADER: Suggested approval of the preliminary plat and conditional use permit as proposed in the staff
report by expecting a total of 8.94 acres with 1.93 acres qualifying for park land dedication, but adding
the provision to satisfy the trail location.

KANSIER: Advised that the staff report recommendation would basically dedicate all of the area
between the platted lots, including the wetland as park. The Public Works Director would prefer that
that land remain owned and maintained by the homeowners association. Clarified the acreages,
noting the relatively steep slopes in the ditch area.
OSMUNDSON: Noted that normally park dedication credit would be given for the areas where trail is
located which would be added to the other park dedication.
MADER: Suggested that staff take the comments heard by the Council and come back to the Council
with a final resolution.
ERICSON: Suggested that we approve the resolution at this time and advised staff of the specific to
work out.
BOYLES: Noted that the resolution could establish conditions prior to the final plat.
GUNDLACH: Not comfortable with approving the preliminary plat at this time because it doesn't appear
that there is consensus between what the staff wants, the developer wants and the Council wants.
AUCH: Advised that their intent is to provide as much land as possible, and that they are flexible and
receptive to land dedication of the upland, outlot and trail area, and that the remaining area become
association maintained.
GUNDLACH: Commented that he doesn't see how the discussion became about accepting 1.93 when
the required dedication is 4 acres. It seems that the parkland was an afterthought with whatever was
left over.

KANSIER: Clarified that the other conditions would be applied to the CUP resolution as well.
GUNDLACH: Asked about the sign ordinance amendment to the development contract.
KANSIER: Advised that the Development contract will be discussed in connection with the final plat.
