many trees as possible. Much of the area will not be disturbed
during the development.

The Public Hearing was called to order at 8:30 P.M. The public
was in attendance and a sign -up sheet was circulated.
Rick Packer of the Sienna Corporation presented the information
on the project and history of the company. The subject site is
147 acres located within the corporate limits Of the City Of
Prior Lake, east of the St. Michael cemetery, south of Prior Lake
Senior High School, east of the Credit River Township /Prior Lake
line and north of Markley Lake. It is a difficult lot to develop
due to the topography. The property will have 221 lots which
meet the zoning requirements with the exception of so lots that
PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING MINUTES MAY 6, 1993 PAGE 3
have a lot width less that the code requirement of 80 feet. The
lot prices will be approximately $35,000 each and the homes to be
built will be approximately $140,000 to $180,000.
The applicant requests to vary the tree planting regulation, is:
one tree would be planted in the front yard and the other tree
would be clustered throughout the subdivision to create a
pleasing effect in landscaping also uniform mailboxes will be
furnished to provide a neat street image. A decrease of five (5)
feet setback on the garage side yard is being requested. All of
the engineering concerns have been discussed with the Engineering
neering
Department and solutions have been worked out. The applicant
in favor of extending a sidewalk along Crossandra Street to Fish
Point Road from the westerly property edge but does object to the
Parks Department request to extend sidewalks throughout the
outlots.
Horst Graser presented the information as per memo of May 6,
1993. The application presented by the Sienna Corporation is for
Rezoning, Schematic and Preliminary PUD Plan, and Preliminary
Plat for Cardinal Heights. As these items are interelated all
three should be discussed at this hearing. The development will
be done in four phases.
The rezoning request is to rezone approximately 36.48 acres from
R -4 Mixed Code Residential to R -1 Urban residential;
approximately 17.26 acres from C -1 Conservation to R -1 Urban
Residential; approximately 5.92 acres from C -1 Conservation to
R -1 Urban Residential; and approximately 2.76 acres from C -1
Conservation to R -1 Urban Residential. The rezoning would
downzone portions of the site to a lower density which would be
consistent with the Comprehensive Plan. Resolution 93 -03PC
outlines the application and rationale for the rezoning
application.
The P.U.D. section of the Zoning ordinance allows the developer
to vary lot size, street size, and setback requirements as deal��nn
options to reflect market conditions. The applicant wishes to
change three items. 1. Requests that the front yard tree be
allowed to cluster in strategic places thoughout the development.
2. A reduction in lot width from the minimum of 80 feet down to
70 feet. 3. The setback from side property lines from 10 feet
down to 5 feet for garage only.
The many natural features of the site were discussed such as the
slopes, considerable overstory, marshes, and Markley Lake. The
developer will not fill drain, or touch any of the wetlands.
Trail systems will link the area. outlot D may be redesigned.
The eyebrow cul -de -sacs are not allowed on Municipal State aid
roads. The developer is proposing a 50 foot right -ofway except
for Crossandra Street. The property is a search area for
additional well sites.

the Schematic and Preliminary P.U.D. plan for Cardinal Heights.
Resolution 93 -OSPC outlines the contingencies for the approval of
the Preliminary Plat for Cardinal Heights.
Terri Pherson -15538 Fish Point Road, stated her neighborhood is
concerned on the traffic and wanted know what controls will be
used. She has no problem with the development concept.
Ron Ceminsky -5239 Brooks Circle SE, asked if there would be any
restrictive covenants and what would the timeframe of development
be.
Mike Novak Jr. -5535 Bounty St. SE, said restrictive covenants are
needed.
Alma Picha -5940 160th St., stated that she had 2.72 acres and
wants the sewer and water to her property.
Bill Schmokel -4151 Grainwood Circle, asked what the status of the
improvement of 160th Street. He has no problems with the
development, liked the tree planting concept, but is concerned on
the drainage for narrow lots.
Robert Mastons -16181 Fillmore Ave. SE, is impressed with the plan
but feels there should be covenants. Encouraged the building of
trails to link neighborhoods. Wanted assurance there would be
single family homes only and not multi - family.
A question from the floor was asked on street lighting, and
additional school children coming into the district. Bruce
Loney Assistant City Engineer responded to the question on
lighting Bill Schmokel answered as spokeperson for the school
district and gave information on the financial assessment of
students.
Ron Ceminsky -5239 Brooks Circle SE, asked if there would be
cement or blacktop curb 6 gutter. Mr. Loney answered it would be
cement.
The public portion of the hearing was closed.
Commissioner Arnold liked the open space of the plan but was
concerned on the traffic flow of the neighborhood and on lots
that have roads on both sides. Mr. Packer stated that landscaping
would be done for these lots. Mr. Loney commented on the traffic
increase and upcoming street projects in 1994 and 1995.
Commissioner Greenfield felt that 70 foot lots are not wide
enough and there should be plans in place for road improvements
when a subdivision is brought in. Mr. Loney said County Road 44
is a county road and the city will work with them. Commissioner
Wuellner was concerned on lot sizes and can envision variances in
the future with the 5 foot setback. The subject site is a
PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING MINUTES MAY 6, 1993 PAGE 4
beautiful area and would encourage a trail system or sidewalks,
restrictive covenants and asked the status of Outlot P and was
informed it would be given to the City. Commissioner Loftus
talked on the explosive growth and the impact on schools,
traffic, emergency services, and Mrs. Picha's situation was
discussed.
At 10:20 P.M., Chairman Roseth called to order the 10:00 P.M.
Public Hearing on the Agricultural Preserve Comprehensive Plan
Amendment and Zoning Code Amendment and placed this item on the
agenda after the conclusion of the Cardinal Heights Public
Hearing.
Ken Applebaum -1040 East 146th St. Burnsville explained that the
school district would be Prior Lake but the fire department would
be Savaga. The people moving into the development would be
paying taxes to help support the schools and police services.
Prior Lake will expand as other communities are filled. Does
Prior Lake take the attitude of "we have ours, you qo someplace
else" to new development. Mr. Applebaum commended Sienna
Corporation on their concept.
Commissioner Roseth voiced his concerns on the traffic and road
connections- Commission- Greenfield suggested-an-adjustment of
removing 4 lots to increase the lot width of other lots.

Horst Graser presented the information as per memo of Titan
1993. The City of Prior Lake was contacted by the Metropo
Council in January of 1993 and advised that the City's
Com prehensive Plan did not contain proper reference to
Agricultural Preserve policies nor were existing agricultural
Preserves indicated on the Land Use Map. The Metropolitan
Council Staff recommended that the City submit a minor
comprehensive plan amendment to correct the discrepancy.

was in -- attendance. A sign -up sheet was circulated.
Rick Packer representative for Sienna Corporation 4940 Viking
Drive, Edina, MN, stated the name of the development had been
changed to Cardinal Ride. A slide presentation of the various
projects developed by Sienna Corporation was shown. Homes built
with a five foot garage side setback were shown as well as the
landscaping and architectural control that is part of Sienna's
standards. Mr. Packer explained the rational of using a five
foot setback enables varying designs and allows more visible
green space in one location between houses. Mr. Packer is
requesting a P.U.D. for their development and a transfer of 5
lots for 55 acres of open space.
Director of Planning Horst Graser gave an brief outline on the
modifications for Cardinal Ridge. Cul -de -sac L was extended into
Outlot C, gaining two lots. The objective was to eliminate an
eyebrow style cul -de -sac. Cul -de -Sac G was added using a small
portion of Outlot D. The open space southeast of the
intersection of Sections E & F is being platted as a lot. A 60
foot exposure to Outlot C is incorporated between Lots 11 and 12,
Block 8, to accommodate a city trail. The total number of lots
increased from 221 to 223. The lots per gross acre increased
from 1.55 units to 1.57 units. The public open space decreased
from 55.49 to 52.81 acres.
Questions that were raised by the public were addressed as per
memo of May 20, 1993. County Road 44 is in the jurisdiction of
Scott County and is in the CIP for 1994. Fish Point Road was
designed as a collector and State money used for this project.
The issue remaining is the five foot garage setback.
The objective of a P.U.D. is to provide the opportunity for a
developer to change densities, move things around , provide
wildlife systems in the area and vary designs. The reduction in
lots sizes is realistic and can be substantiated. The lots that
are requested to be reduced is in the center of the development
and there is 388 open space. The development meets the intent of
the P.U.D. code and fits the topography of the area. The
development addresses the needs of transportation, parks, and
trail systems. All Outlots will be owned by the City and will be
open space.
City Engineer Larry Anderson, stated that the streets, sewer and
water are adequate for the area. County 44 will have a signal
when warrants are met. The Engineering Department has reviewed
the plans submitted by Sienna and all plans have been completed
for Preliminary Plat. Prior to final plat approval appropriate
easements for drainage, trunk line utilities and acceptable
grading, sewer & water, and paving plans will need to be
submitted.
Carl Hanson 4065 Raspberry Ridge Road, objected to the size of
the lots, density and the development is unattractive.
PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING MINUTES MAY 20, 1993 PAGE 3
Terri Pherson -15538 Fish Point Road, felt the concerns of the
existing neighborhood were not met, traffic issues were not
addressed and their neighborhood would be destroyed because of
the development.
Alma Picha -5940 160th St. SE, asked for clarification on where
sewer and water will be installed which was explained to her.
commissioner Greenfield stated he was disappointed that something
could not be done with the traffic situation, number of children
would increase the capacity for schools, open space, number of
lots increased and was not in favor of the 5 foot reduction for
garage. At this point Mr. Greenfield displayed a tape measure
and measured out 5 feet to show the amount of setback that would
be reduced. He felt the development does not warrant P.U.D.
status and will not recognize it as such. He then read the
P.U.D. definitions from the ordinance. Mr. Greenfield read the
park memo from Parks Director Bill Mangan regarding designated
park space. Commissioner Loftus commented on the traffic safety
issues and preservation of natural amenities. Mr. Loftus also
commented on having quality builders and affordable housing which
would be a trade off in density. Commissioner Roseth asked the
procedure on tree preservation and removal, and was in favor of
the development. Commissioner Arnold suggested adjusting lot
lines to lessen the number of smaller lots and pointed out where
several lots could be changed, but was in favor of the P.U.D.
Mr. Packer stated that their plan is sensitive to the area and
is a compromised plan and will not be changed any further.
Larry Anderson informed the Commissioners that the open space
designated is what Staff requested and explained the drainage
system for the development and adjoining area.
Mr. Graser explained the conditions of a P.U.D. and when the
developer is asked to give up something the City has to give
credit in another area and it would be an exchange.
After Conferring with Commissioner Arnold on lot adjustments, Mr.
Packer stated he could see where some lines could be changed and
would direct his staff to do so.

COUNCIL THE APPROVAL OF RESOLUTION 93 -03 TO RECOMMEND THE

T'E SCHEMATIC AND PRELIMINARY P.U.D. PLAN AS AMENDED FOR CARDINAL
)GE.
Vote taken signified ayes by Loftus, Roseth, and Arnold. Nay by
Commissioner Greenfield. MOTION CARRIED.
Commissioner Greenfield stated his rationale for nay was
objection to granting a P.U.D. status, open space is
overinflated, and the usefulness of Outlots A 6 F justify that
being stricken from the land being allotted is useful public land
and diminishes the significant P.U.D. status.
