MN 55372 PLANNING COMMISSION AGENDA REPORT MEETING DATE: AGENDA #: PREPARED BY: PUBLIC HEARING: AGENDA ITEM: JULY 15, 2013 5A JEFF MATZKE, PLANNER LARRY POPPLER, CITY ENGINEER NO CONSIDER A REQUEST FOR A PRELIMINARY PLAT TO BE KNOWN AS COPPER COVE DISCUSSION: Introduction K Hovnanian Homes has submitted request for approval of a Preliminary Plat to be known as Copper Cove. The property is located on a 45 acre site located at a site south of County Highway 42 west of Ferndale Avenue. The development plan calls for a residential development consisting of 68 Low Density single fam- ily residential lots. The area encompasses two parcels of land with wooded ar- eas to the north, open field areas in the center, and one residential home site to the south near the shoreline of Prior Lake. Histo The Planning Commission held a public hearing regarding this plat application on June 17, 2013. Public comments were taken and included concerns about street connections to Ferndale Avenue, impacts to current traffic, and tree im- pacts. At the meeting City Staff identified the remaining critical issues regarding streets, utilities, trails, and storm water. The Planning Commission voted to table discussion of the preliminary plat to the July 15th Planning Commission meeting and advised the developer to con- sider changes to the trail network near the wetland, consider revisions to ad- dress street and utility concerns of City Staff, attempt to coordinate with the ad- jacent property owner to the west to develop an overall plat design that may uti- lize joint infrastructure needs, and revise the hydrology to meet City standards. City Staff has since meet with the developer on June 26th at which the devel- oper submitted revised plan exhibits in response to the major comments out- lined by City Staff. These revised plan exhibits are included with this report and City Staff has updated the trails, streets, utilities, and storm water sections of this report to reflect these revised exhibits. Current Circumstances The following paragraphs outline the physical characteristics of the existing site, the Comprehensive Plan and zoning designations, and a description of some of the specifics of the proposed site. PHYSICAL SITE CHARACTERISTICS: Total Site Area: The total site consists of 45.6 acres. Topography: This site has a varied topography, with elevations ranging from 900 MSL at its lowest point along the shores of Prior Lake to 990' MSL at its highest point in the northern part of the site. Vegetation: There are a large number of significant trees located on the north end of the site. Wetlands: Wetlands exist along the northern edge of the site and at the center of the site. The site is subject to the provisions of the State Wetland Conservation Act. Access: Access to this property is currently from County Highway 42 to the north. Proposed access to the development is indicated from existing Ferndale Avenue, Carriage Hills Parkway, and Shore Trail. 2030 Comprehensive Plan Designation: This property is designated for Urban Low Density Residential (R -LD) uses on the 2030 Comprehensive Plan Land Use Map. Zoning: The site is zoned R -1 (Low Density Residential). Shoreland: The southern portion of this property is located within the Shoreland District for Lower Prior Lake. As such, the southern area is subject to the Shoreland requirements listed in Section 1104 of the Zoning Ordinance. PROPOSED PLAN The development plan calls for a residential development consisting of 68 single family homes. Lot Sizes: The residential lots are proposed with a minimum lot size and width of 12,000 square feet and 86 feet in width respectively. The proposed lots will meet the minimum lot size and width requirements of the R -1 (Low Density Res- idential) Zoning District. Setbacks: The residential lots have proposed setbacks that will meet the mini- mum required 25 foot front yard, 10 foot side yard, 25 foot rear yard, and 25 foot side yard abutting a street. Impervious Surface: The maximum impervious surface coverage for each indi- vidual residential lot within the Lower Prior Lake Shoreland District is 30% of the total lot area as required by the Shoreland Ordinance. Density: Density of the residential development is based on the residential net area of the site, which is 23.0 acres. The density of the residential area of the development is 2.95 units / acre. Parks: No parkland dedication is proposed with the development. An existing park is located immediately east of the site. Therefore the parkland dedication required by City Ordinance is proposed to be satisfied thru a fee payment into the City park fund. Trails: Trails and /or sidewalks are proposed on the plans along the Ferndale Avenue, Carriage Hills Pkwy, and Street 2, 3, and 4 corridors. Also a trail is proposed west of the large wetland to connect the northern and southern resi- dential areas. The large wetland within the center of the development is a unique and high quality wetland. This is one of the most high quality wetlands within the City. Considering the nearby park, there is an opportunity to provide a trail con- nection from the park toward and possibly encompassing the wetland to allow trail users an opportunity to view this unique City feature. Designed correctly to minimize impact, a trail could be proposed surrounding this feature and connect to City park and other trails including the CSAH 42 trail system. The City has completed trail connections around wetland features in many plats over the years. A few examples include: Jeffers Pond, Hickory Shores, Wilds North, Northwood Meadows, and Markley Lake. These trails provide value to the region by provid- ing a tranquil setting for hiking. The trail also offers a way to demarcate the prop- erty surrounding the wetland which reduces the potential of dumping of yard waste. Yard waste can degrade this unique wetland over time. Plat changes may be necessary to build this trail yet minimize impact to the wetland itself. For example, the lots could be shifted to allow the trail around this wetland. The developer is not showing a trail surrounding the wetland; rather, they show trail along the western side of the wetland and have now added a short trail segment which overlooks the wetland on the east side. Streets: A number of important street connections are planned for this property and the adjacent property to the west. Carriage Hills Parkway is a major collector street which will eventually carry approximately 3500 to 4500 vehicle trips per day. Another north /south minor collector roadway is planned in this area as well that would connect CSAH 42 with Carriage Hills Parkway. These major and mi- nor collector roadways will provide a local supporting roadway network to CSAH 21 and CSAH 42. The minor north /south collector street is proposed on the adjacent parcel to the west and is designed for future construction when the parcel to the west develops. This north /south roadway would include a full access intersection at its intersec- tion with CSAH 42 approximately 800 feet west of Ferndale Avenue. Preliminary conclusions from the County Highway 42 Study Area Plan would appear to sup- port this full access location. Possibly adding signals to this intersection would be done if /when traffic counts warranted their installation. The county would also prefer no direct lot access onto that future minor collector street within proximity of the County Highway 42 intersection due to turn lane and car stacking condi- tions. Ferndale Avenue is currently a full access intersection, but would be converted to a right in /right out intersection. Due to the added traffic proposed with the Copper Cove Development, City Staff and Scott County recommend the conver- sion of Ferndale Avenue in conjunction with the Copper Cove Development. A portion of Carriage Hills Parkway (700 feet) would be built with the Copper Cove project; however, a remaining 600 foot segment gap of Carriage Hills Park- way would remain unbuilt between the Knob Hills Neighborhood and the Sand Point Neighborhood on the adjacent parcel to the west. Scott County has com- mented that this gap should be completed in connection with this plat. The City Council has preliminarily discussed adding the remaining segment of Carriage Hills Parkway to the Capital Improvement Plan for construction in 2014. It is im- portant on a major collector street roadway to reduce conflict points including driveway accesses. As such no driveways are proposed off Carriage Hills Park- way through this development. The design of Carriage Hills Parkway would fol- low the design of Knob Hill to the west and include a center median and left turn lanes. The Copper Cove Plat includes three connections to Ferndale including an ex- tension of Ferndale Avenue which curves in an east/west manner. This east/west extension of Ferndale would terminate at the Copper Cove western property line and would be extended with further development to the west. Street 2 off of Ferndale Avenue would intersect with Ash Circle and terminate to the west at the property line. With development to the west, Street 2 would intersect with the future north /south minor collector roadway. Street 1 intersects with Hampton Street and connects to Street 2. The plat also includes four roadway connections onto Carriage Hills Parkway. City Staff believe two of these connections are unnecessary. The proposed short Street 6 cul -de -sac south of Carriage Hills Parkway does not meet City Standards and proposes additional City Street that the City would need to maintain in per- petuity. Street 6 is proposed to be approximately 200 feet away from Ferndale to the east. This separation distance is less than any other intersection separation east or west on Carriage Hills. The shortest distance already constructed on this road- way is approximately 300 feet. The City's Public Works Design Manual (last adopted in 2007) is a document adopted by reference by the City Council. The City Code was last changed in 2001 relating to Design Standard Section 1004. Section 6.4 (page 24) of the Public Works Design Manual and Section 1004.406 of City Code states the following: "Streets shall be laid out so as to intersect as nearly as possible at right angles, except where topography or other conditions justify variations. The minimum an- gle of intersection of streets shall be eighty (80) degrees. Local street intersec- tions must have a centerline offset of at least 280 feet. Local streets intersect- ing with a collector or higher order street must have a centerline offset of at least 660 feet unless topographic or other conditions render the requirements of this provision unreasonable." Since Carriage Hills is a major collector street intersections should be offset at least 660 feet per the standards. The Copper Cove plat does not meet this stand- ard for Street 6 or Street 4. Furthermore, the ghost plat to the west would also introduce another street which would not meet this standard. The topography does not present an issue for these streets, rather topography plays a role in the housing styles created as a result of the roadway configuration. The City should not compromise standards or add additional infrastructure because of less than optimal housing styles as it transfers a burden of cost from the developer to the taxpayers in the form of additional infrastructure which must be maintained or in the form of reduced standards. Each project presents unique challenges espe- cially in Prior Lake. On this project the location of Carriage Hills Parkway along the high point (ridge) is presenting challenges to the housing styles. The devel- oper must adapt their design to these site characteristics without compromising City standards or adding unnecessary infrastructure which will cost City taxpay- ers. City standards have changed over the years as knowledge is gained regard- ing optimal intersection spacing. The streets constructed to the east and west were constructed prior to 2001. It is uncertain what the standards were at the time of these developments. It is also recommended that the north leg of Street 6 be changed from a north /south cul -de -sac to an east/west roadway which connects Street 4 to Car- dinal Street NE. Cardinal Street extends west off of Fisher Avenue toward the Copper Cove Plat. As a part of the Northshore Oaks preliminary plat in the mid - 1980s, Cardinal Street was proposed as an east/west roadway off of Fisher Street. In 1994 as a part of Northshore Oaks 5th Addition, City staff at the time discussed Cardinal Street as an east/west secondary local street connection to the west. City staff at the time determined based on a site visit that no topo- graphic, physical, nor transportation related reason that Cardinal Street could not be built. Today the property remains a platted outlot. The City anticipates that at some point this property would be developed. Without the connection of street 6 built to the property line, an additional cul -de -sac would be needed on the small segment of land to the east. The creation of this cul -de -sac would reduce the number of lots as shown in the original Northshore Oaks preliminary plat. Fur- thermore, connecting roadways are an advantage to communities as they provide better access for public safety personnel, easier for snow removal, and better for resident access during street or utility construction or other roadway closures. The reduction of these two conflict points on Carriage Hills Parkway and the con- nection to Cardinal Street are strongly recommended. The north /south minor collector location should also be reviewed further due to spacing criteria. Street 7 extends Shore Trail to the west and terminates at Street 4. It is recom- mended that Street 7 be adjusted to provide a standard "T" intersection with Fern- dale and Shore Trail. The completion of this "T intersection should be done as such to minimize the height of retaining wall south of the intersection. It is rec- ommended that Street 7 be connected to Street 4 in conjunction with this plat. Grading: The existing grades through this site vary from an elevation 988 high point near Ferndale and CSAH 42 to a 904 elevation at the shores of Prior Lake. In between these high and low points, the large wetland in the middle of the plat includes a normal water level of 930. A ridge exists at the Carriage Hills roadway location. Water drains south to Prior Lake from this ridge and north and east north of Carriage Hills Parkway. Mass grading is proposed for the site to facilitate roadways and house pads within the plat. In general the grading appears appropriate for the development. Be- cause of the way this property was originally divided north to south, the long and narrow Copper Cove parcel required careful analysis of the grades so that the grading links to the adjacent vacant property to the west and allows for future development. The Developer has shown possible roadway elevations for the par- cel to the west to show how future street connections could occur. This infor- mation is helpful and is satisfactory in showing the future roadway connections and ghost platting. It is undetermined how these proposed roadway grades will affect house styles for the adjacent property. The proposed grades north of the large wetland require redundant sanitary sewer discussed in the next section of the report. Sanitary Sewer/Water Mains /Storm Sewer: Sanitary sewer and water is avail- able to the site along Ferndale Avenue. An existing trunk sanitary sewer and watermain easement exists through the Copper Cove property and to the west along the lake connecting the Shore Trail area to Beach Street. The Copper Cove Plat proposes watermain connection at Hampton Street, Ash Circle, Carriage Hills, and Shore Trail. These connections are appropriate. The storm sewer for the plat is proposed to drain to three ponding areas created with the plat. Pond 1 would serve the area north of the large wetland and is placed between Street 1 and CSAH 42. This ponding system outlets to the wet- land to the west which ultimately drains west along CSAH 42. Pond 2 is located north of Carriage Hills Parkway south of the large wetland. It serves the street network in these areas of the plat and includes a large infiltration cell. The outlet for Pond 2 is to the east through a series of wetland areas. Pond 3 is located south of Carriage Hills Parkway and north of Street 7. Pond 3 currently outlets to the City storm sewer pipe in this area which flows to Prior Lake. The hydrology for the Copper Cove plat has several significant issues which are not yet resolved as of the date of this report. The northern portion of the site drains to the west and ultimately to Pike Lake. Rate control requirements are not met by the current plan submittal, specifically for the southern portion of the site that drains to Prior Lake; the applicant may be submitting additional information that may satisfy the rate control requirements, but this information has not been received as of the date of this report. To meet volume control requirements, an infiltration basin is proposed. Required soils testing and design information show- ing how this infiltration basin will function have also not been received. The wetland types were reviewed as a part of the project. When routing storm - water through existing wetlands, certain wetland types require more protection, based on their quality and existing function. A significant error in the last submittal regarding the wetlands will change several of the critical comments regarding stormwater management for the wetlands, including allowable inundation peri- ods. At the time of this report, updated information on wetland inundation re- quirements has not been received. A sanitary sewer connection is proposed at Shore Trail, Carriage Hills, and the south Ash Circle and Ferndale intersection. The development proposes a sani- tary sewer line along Ferndale between Ash Circle north and Ash Circle south. Due to the grades proposed for the area north of the wetland, the developer can't connect to the existing sanitary sewer system at the northern intersection at Fern- dale and Ash. Looking at the overall sanitary sewer system and the grades pro- posed by the developer for this area north of the wetland, the most efficient way to serve this property would be from the west. A sanitary sewer line at Rolling Oaks and CSAH 42 provides a more direct connection to the sewer interceptor which flows north to the Blue Lake Wastewater Treatment Facility. However, the property to the west and a portion of Rolling Oaks must first be served with sani- tary sewer to extend the sanitary sewer to this portion of the Copper Cove project. As proposed, this project would construct a 450 foot segment of redundant sani- tary sewer that the City would need to maintain in perpetuity. The City Council has preliminarily reviewed the Capital Improvement Plan and has proposed to include reconstruction of Rolling Oaks which would provide sanitary sewer to the property to the west. Once this sanitary sewer is constructed it would be available for development of the western parcel. Without the connection on Rolling Oaks, redundant or deep sanitary sewer would be needed to serve the property west of Copper Cove. The Copper Cove development proposes to maintain the existing sanitary sewer and watermain along the north shore of Prior Lake and within backyard lots pro- posed with the Copper Cove and the ghost plat of the adjacent parcel to the west. The City requests the developer to relocate these facilities to be contained within the nearest adjacent streets. These backyard utilities are difficult to maintain due to the yard grades, trees, and future amenities built by lot owners. The City of Prior Lake maintains many of these types of backyard utilities, however the prob- lems associated with these easements are numerous. Lot owners find it difficult to understand the easement restrictions and sometimes build over the easements anyway. At some point when the City needs to maintain the utilities, these fea- tures must be removed. The grades in this area are also a challenge to mainte- nance crews in bringing equipment to access manholes for maintenance of the system. The proposed right of way and depth of the trunk facilities will increase due to the movement of the utilities into the proposed street. However, over the long term City Staff anticipate reduced time for maintenance as well as time as- sociated with dealing with residents on building issues within this backyard ease- ment area. The City would pay a portion of the cost of this trunk sanitary sewer system movement through oversizing for this development. The oversizing cal- culation will be performed at the final plat stage after a design has been reviewed. In general, the City pays oversizing for depth increases and pipe size increases of trunk systems. The current plat does not show the movement of these utilities to the street. As proposed, development to the west would perpetuate the place- ment of sanitary sewer within backyard areas. Tree Replacement/Landscaping: There are many significant trees on the site. The tree inventory identified 25,689 significant caliper inches of trees on the site. Up to 35% of the significant caliper inches may be removed for house pads and driveways. Any removal above these amounts requires tree replacement at a rate of ' / 2 caliper inches for each inch removed. The proposed plans currently indicate removal of 11,317 inches for the development and 6,154 inches for pub- lic infrastructure. Therefore, the plans indicate 1,163 inches of tree replacement. Fees and Assessment: The development will be subject to all development fees including trunk utility, park dedication, utility connection fees, a City administration fee, and a Construction Observation fee at the time Final Plat. ISSUES: As indicated in comments in this report, City Staff has still has significant con- cerns with the overall development design, particularly in relation to street, utility, storm water, and trail design. While the developer has continued to have discus- sions with City Staff concerning these issues, there are differing viewpoints in how the development design should be proposed. Although the larger 95 acre site is divided in ownership, City Staff feels that many issues can best be resolved with one combined or two coordinating preliminary plats moving through the process together. This would allow for the coordination and likely cost savings related to grading, storm drainage, streets and public util- ities. While City Staff acknowledges that the current Developer may only have the ability to propose improvements to the eastern half of the 95 acres through a purchase agreement with the owner of the east half, City Staff sees significant opportunities for both sides working together. The developer has indicated in a meeting with City Staff on June 26th that they have no intent on changing the preliminary plat to address the remaining critical issues. In the case of no additional changes to the plat design, City staff would recommend denial of the plat. ALTERNATIVES: 1. Recommend approval of the Preliminary Plat subject to any listed conditions as identified by the Planning Commission. 2. Recommend tabling discussion of the item to a future meeting and providing the developer with specific direction. 3. Recommend denial of the request. RECOMMENDED City Staff recommends Alternative 3.

Comments highlighted in bold text are of particular concern: General 1. The final plat plans should follow the requirements of the Public Works Design Manual, 2. Permits from the Scott County, Met Council, Minnesota Pollution Control Agency, and Department of Health will be needed at the final plat stage. 3. Show approximate location of all existing private iilities and public utilities. 4. The wetland edge shot data should also be shown. 5. Benelunark information should be City benchmark and "City Project DEV - 2013 -005" should be shown on all plan sheets. 6. All plans should be drafted according to the City of Prior Lake layer system. A digital copy of the plans in pdf or of format is required prior to construction. All drawings should use the Scott County Coordinate System. 7. Provide all City details that pertain to the project (example): hydrant, bio -roll, wetland buffer signage, sanitary manhole, watermain service, sanitary sewer service, concrete sidewalk, bihuninous trail, standard storm. sewer manhole, catch basin for storm sewer, pond outlet skimmer, trash guards for concrete aprons, standard manhole for sanitary sewer, sanitary sewer outside drop manhole, watermain insulation, street typical section, street typical section with sidewalk, cul -de -sac, curb ramp detail for trails and sidewalks, stop sign with street sign, sign and street light placement, street light types, standard locations of public improvements, and etc. 8. This property is critical for City trail system connections in the area. Trails should be provided that connect to existing trails north of North Shore Oaks Park and along Carriage Hill Road. The preferred trail layout would encircle the unique wetland in the northern half of the site (shown as "Wetland 2 on the plan set) with three connection points around this Ioop: Phone 952.447.9800 / Fax 952.447.4245 /N►,%i,%v.cityofpriorIA-e.coin a. SE side of Wetland 2, connecting to the North Shore Oaks Park trail system at Ferndale Avenue through Outlot C adjacent to Block 9, Lot 8. b. North side of Wetland 2, connecting to Street 2 through Outlot C between Block 11, Lot 1 and Block 10, Lot 1. c. SW side of Wetland 2, connecting to the planned sidewalk. along the proposed north -south collector street, which will connect to the existing and planned trail /sidewalk system corridor for Carriage Hill Road NE. Gradin 1. Slopes for maintained areas should be no more than 4:1 and unmaintained at 3:1. Numerous areas do not meet this requirement and there are concerns regarding proposed grades that the undeveloped parcel to the west. Proposed grades will impede drainage on the adjacent property. 2. Backyard drainage swales need to be contained within a permanent easement. The easement should be shown on the grading plan and the plat. Areas to be graded in the future with development to the west should be contained within drainage and utility easement. 3. Show wetland buffer and wetland buffer signage on the plans. Setbacks from wetlands must be checked to verify distance requirements. Wetland buffer areas should be hatched. 4. Proposed grading beyond property will require easements. 5. Any backyard drainage paths must be sodded and protected at the conclusion of grading activities. Provide notes in specific areas indicating that this protection is needed. EOF paths are of particular concern. 6. Proposed retaining walls are over 4' in height, Requirements for retaining include obtaining a building permit, fencing, and must be designed by a MN registered professional engineer. Retaining wails should be constructed on private property unless approved by City Engineer. Detailed plans and specifications will be required for review by City staff. 7. Show lot corner elevations. 8. Show construction limits on the plans. 9. Provide tree plan that shows the proposed grades and significant tree locations. Heritage trees should be highlighted. 10. Low opening elevations shall be at least 2' above EOF. Lot 1 block 3 garage elevation needs to be raised by 0.5 feet. 11. The EOF locations for all low points, ponding and �vetlands should be shown on the grading plan. Please show EOF for the Ferndale low point north of Ash Circle. 12. Existing survey shot data should be shown on the grading plan and existing conditions sheet at all street intersections. 13. Contour 946 at the intersection of Ash Circle does not tie into an existing contour. 14. The existing 950 Contour west of Outlot F does not tie to a proposed contour within the plat. 15. The 960 contour west of lot 2 block 4 does not tie into the existing 960 contour to the west, 16. Several rear lot elevations are missing on the grading plans throughout the plat. 17. Provide name and contact information for person responsible for erosion and sediment control maintenance. 18. Provide note on the grading plan stating that perimeter / downstream sediment control best management practices should be installed by the contractor and inspected by the City prior to any site work. 19. Provide note on the grading plan stating that slopes greater than or equal to 3:1 shall have approved turf establishment and erosion control best management practices installed immediately after finished grading. Utilities 1. The sanitary sewer Iayout for the northern portion of the development should be reevaluated. There is currently sanitary sewer located on CR 42 to tine west that directly connects to MCES interceptor that would provide optimal service for this area. The proposed plat adds additional redundant sanitary sewer pipe which the City must maintain in perpetuity. The City is not interested in adding additional length of pipe when it is not necessary. Based on the design of the sanitary sewer this northern section of the plat may be premature. Furthermore, pipe should be located on street centerline. 2. The proposed development maintains an existing 15" RCP sanitary sewer pipe within the proposed backyards of three residential lots. Tire ghost plat to the west also shows the sanitary sewer in backyard areas. Due to the terrain and access issues, the City would prefer to relocate the sanitary sewer as well as fire watermain into the street network. The City could then vacate the easement. Due to the depth, the right of way width may need to be evaluated. An outlot would be needed on the western side of the plat to tie into the existing manhole. Dry pipe would need to be installed on street 7 to street 4 for future connection. The City would pay oversizing for the movement of these trunk facilities. 3. Provide analysis to show that watermain and sanitary sewer pipe sizes are sufficient to handle the demands of the development. 4. Please note that different type and class of sanitary sewer pipe will be required dependent on depth. Please use chart in PWDM. Streets 1. Street 7 should continue west to intersect with Street 4 as a part of this plat. It is difficult to determine if this plat proposes this street connection. 2. Eliminate the short "Street 6 cul -de -sac south of Carriage Hills Drive. This area can be served by "Street 7 11 . This cul -de -sac is not necessary considering these streets can be accessed off of Street 7. This design adds unnecessary City street length which the City must maintain in perpetuity. The City is not interested in adding additional street length when another option exists to serve this area. In addition, adding this cul-de-sac, provides another conflict point on the Collector Street. This cul -de -sac does not appear to meet City standards. 3. "Street 6" north of Carriage Hills Parkway should be relocated off of Carriage Hills Parkway and onto Sheet 4. Street 6 should connect in an east -west manner to the short stub street off of Fisher Avenue. This removes a conflict point on Carriage Hills Parkway and extends Street 6 to the eastern property line for future development eventually eliminating two cul -de -sacs. In general for maintenance and emergency access purposes, the City prefers street connections versus cul-de- sacs. 4. The traffic impact study was reviewed. The assumption on the percentage of vehicles using Carriage Hills Parkway to the west appears low. 5. Access restriction on CSAH 42 at Ferndale should be shown as apart of this plat, so that the public is aware and can comment at the public hearing. 6. Provide geoteclnical analysis report for soil borings in the project area. Show soil boring locations on all plan sheets. Include street typical section recommendations in excess of City minimum requirements. Carriage Hills Parkway is to be a 9 -ton collector. 7. The north -south collector on the ghost plat should connect to Beach Street. Extension of Rolling Oaks to the collector street should also be shown. 8. The retaining wall south of Street 7 could be reduced in height or eliminated by shifting this roadway to the north. The City is not interested in maintenance and liability of additional retaining wall within City right of way. Hydrology and Storm Sewer The City's PWDM allows for volume reduction credits based on various BMPs such as tree plantings, native grass buffers, impervious disconnection, and others. These credits will help to reduce the required size of other volume control BMPs such as infiltration basins. The current submittal does not include volume reduction credit calculations. The applicant is encouraged to consider incorporating BMPs and tabulating volume control credits to improve stormwater management at the proposed site. More information can be found in Part III, Sections 4 and 9 of the PWDM (under Volume Control). 2. According to the PWDM, this site includes an area within Stormwater Management. Overlay District #1 (SMOD #1) and has alternate rate control requirements. The site is split approximately in half, with the northern portion draining to the Prior Lake Outlet Channel (located in SMOD #1) and the southern portion draining to Prior Lake. Cumulative discharge totals are needed for each rate control area (SMOD #1 and General Standard, to Prior Lake) as well as for the entire site. The stormwater report should contain data for both existing and proposed conditions (current submittal contained only proposed conditions). The following stormwater requirements must be met: a. Northern portion (SMOD #1): Rate control for areas tributary to the Prior Lake Outlet Channel shall hold total offsite peak runoff at or below the following schedule: 2 -year: 0.25 cfs per net acre; 10 -year: 0.25 cfs per net acre; 100 -year: 0.25 cfs per net acre. For the northern portion of the site, with a total of 9.83 net acres, this equates to a maximum discharge of 2.46 cfs for each critical event. According to the current submittal, this requirement is met for the 2 -year event but not for the 10 -year or 100 -year events. The requirements for this area of the site are correctly outlined in the text of the submitted stormwater report (under "RATE CONTROL ") but the tables within this section show that the requirements are not met. b. Southern portion (General Standard, to Prior Lake): Rate control shall hold total offsite peak runoff at or below the following schedule: 2 -year: 0.05 cfs per net acre; 10 -year: 0.30 cfs per net acre; 100-year : Existing peak flow. According to the current submittal, these requirements are met for the 10- year and 100 -year events but not for the 2 -year event. The requirements for this area of the site are correctly outlined in the text of the submitted stormwater report (under "RATE CONTROL ") but the tables within this section show that one of the requirements is not met. The requirement for the 2 -year event is 2.06 efs and proposed conditions show 3.60 cfs. 3. According to submitted MnRAM results, Existing Wetland 1 is highly susceptible for stormwater impacts and Wetland 2 is moderately susceptible. Where stormwater requirements of the PWDM are different (in this case, wetlands vs. rate control), the more restrictive requirment applies. Applicable requirements from the PWDM based on MnRAM results: a. The 100 -year storm bounce must match existing conditions for Wetland 1. (Requirement is not met by the current submittal) b. The 1, 2, and 10 -year NRCS event inundation must match existing conditions for Wetland 1. The 1 and 2 -year NRCS event inundation must match existing conditions plus 1 clay for Wetland 2. The 10 -year NRCS event inundation must match existing conditions plus 7 days for Wetland 2. (Please submit information detailing how these requirements will be met) 4. More detail and design information is needed for the proposed infiltration basin, including a cross section detail and installation procedures. The typical infiltration rate for type B soil is 0.3 inches/hour, not 1.0 inches /hour as assumed; two soil borings within the area of the proposed basin are required to verify the assumed infiltration rate. The current plan set shows no proposed soil borings within the proposed infiltration basin. The size and /or configuration of the proposed infiltration basin may need to be changed significantly based on the results of the soil borings. The design of the infiltration basin must follow the recommendations and requirements of the Minnesota Stormwater Manual. 5. The required dead storage in ponds is calculated for each pot }d, not cumulatively, so that each pond is sized correctly for its individual drainage area. Please revise Pond 2 so that it meets the required dead storage volume (1.23 ac -ft). G. Show wetland buffers as hatched areas and note the no -grade zone for all wetlands on the relevant plan sheets. A conservation easement is required over all buffers. 7. Provide profile information for all storm sewer pipes and structures. Minimum storm sewer size is 15" in diameter. 8. Environmental manholes with 3' sump must be constructed at the last structure which is road accessible prior to discharge to any water body. 9. Pond 3 shows an outlet to the existing City storm sewer system. Updated HydroCAD calculations must be provided to prove that the existing pipe network downstream of the proposed connection point can handle all expected flows from Pond 3 in addition to the existing drainage. Alternatively, if the existing system is found to be inadequate, please provide details for the potential new outlet pipe. The pond should be re- designed to eliminate the retaining wall within the pond area. The City is not interested in the long term maintenance and Iiability associated with retaining wall in this area. Changes to the plat and grading design can be made to eliminate this retaining wall. Considering comment #2 under streets, the pond location should be evaluated and possibly moved further west. Erosion & Sediment Control (SWPPP) An NPDES Construction site permit will be required for this project. The City must approve the associated SWPPP prior to grading permit approval. Please review the individual provisions for temporary and permanent erosion control measures and permanent water quality measures that are required for the NPDES permit and submit the SWPPP to the City for review. The current plan set contains a few notes relating to erosion control on Sheets 7 -11 but it is missing many of the requirements of a standard SWPPP. The SWPPP submittal should meet all City PWDM and NPDES requirements. Memo Date: May 28, 2013 To: Kevin Clark, K Hovnanian Homes From: Jeff Matzke, Planner Community & Economic Development Department Subject: Copper Cove Preliminary Plat Project DEV- 2013 -005 The Community & Economic Development Department has reviewed the Preliminary Plat for the subject project with a plan revision date of May 8, 2013 and we have the following comments: General 1. Estimated development fees for this project are based on proposed plan net acres. These fees include Park Land Dedication, Street Oversize Charge, Trunk Sewer Charge, Trunk Water Charge, Think Storm Water Charge, and Utility Connection Charge. Additional 4% Administration Fee and 5% Construction Observation Fee based on your engineer's final construction estimate will also be charged. Detailed fee information will be established in the Final Development Agreement at the time of Final Plat. 2. At time of Final Plat provide City with draft warranty deeds for all outlot areas to be dedicated to the City according to Ordinance 1004.604. A recorded copy of the deeds shall be delivered to the City after recording of the final plat. 3. Before final plat is signed the Developer shall submit a security in the amount of 125% of the cost of public improvements, grading, erosion control, tree replacement/landscaping, monumentation, as- builts /record drawings. Grading of site can begin following Preliminary Plat approval once grading, erosion control, and tree replacement/ landscaping security is established. Overall Site Plan 1. Indicate a preferred public trail through Outlot C around wetland with connection points as indicated in Engineering comment memorandum (General comment #8) 2. Location of existing utility easements in Lot 1, Block 1 (lake lot) creates a limited building pad area for the potential lake home, deck, major landscape features, etc. Abandoning the existing utility lines, vacating the existing easements, and relocating services to the street in this location would provide for more opportunity for lake lot development (See Engineering memorandum, Utility comment #2). Phonc 952.447.9800 / Fax 952.447.4245 / %tinvw.cilyofpriorlakc.com Tree Preservation Plan / Landscape Plan 1. Consider revisions to grading to save more trees in eastern portion of OutIot E area and rear lots areas of Lots 3 -4, Block S. 2. Placing utilities adjacent to west side of Ferndale Avenue impacts more trees. Placing these utilities under street would save these existing trees in the corridor. SCOTT COUNTY COMM SERVICES DIVISION COUNTRY TRAIL EAST JORDAN, MN 55352 -9339 (9595 2) 496 -8346 •Fax: (9952) 496 -8365 • www.co.scott.mn.us May 28, 2013 Jeff Matzke City of Prior Lake 4646 Dakota Street SE Prior Lake, MN 55372 RE: Preliminary Plat, Copper Cove CH 42 and Ferndale Dear Jeff. We have reviewed the revised preliminary plat at Ferndale and County Highway (CH) 42. We offer the following comments on the proposed plat: 1. CH 42 is designated as a future principal arterial and access is managed to principal arterial standards. The County will require an access modification of Ferndale to a right - in/right -out access and should be a condition of their plat approval. 2. The County strongly recommends the City make a full connection Carriage Hills Parkway to support the CH 42 corridor with this development. We also ask the City consider a connection be made with this development to the designated full access location along CH 42 on the property to the west. 3. The minimum ROW dedication for a future principal arterial is 100 feet from the centerline of CH 42. The plans do not call out the dedication from the centerline but it does not appear to meet the this dedication. 4. Noise levels may increase as traffic volumes rise along CH 42. Any noise attenuation is the responsibility of the City /developer. 5. No ponding, berming, landscaping, or signage shall be permitted within the County right -of -way. 6. Any new trail connection to the existing CH 42 trail, or any work in the right -of -way impacting the existing trail, shall require the trail to be brought into ADA compliance. 7. Any work within the County right -of -way shall require a permit. Thank you for the opportunity to comment. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me.
