The applicant has proposed to change the rear yard setbacks for lots on the fairways of the golf course. Specifically the application requests to amend pages 41, 42, and 43 of the PUD text which outlines the land use standards (see attached pages; the underlined language has been amended to reflect the requested changes) to reduce the rear yard setback for 1/3 and 1/2 acre homesites from 25 feet to 15 feet and villas from 20 feet to 5 feet. Attached please find the planning report and supporting documents. The Prior Lake Planning Commission conducted a public hearing on January 6, 1994. Mike Morley, representing the applicant, was present and discussed the proposal with the commission. The focus of the discussion was on the relationship of the fairways and homes. Mr. Morley stated that the fairways were wide enough to accommodate the reduction in rear yard setbacks. He also stated that only a small percentage of the lots will utilize the reduction in setback. Both staff and the applicant felt that a PUD amendment would be in the best interest of the City versus individual lot variances. Staff did not receive any correspondence nor were any comments made either for or against the amendment. Mr. Morley also gave a brief update on the development progress of The Wilds. The Planning Commission found the amendment consistent with the objectives of the PUD and would not compromise the residential quality of the PUD. The commission adopted resolution 94-01 PC which recommends approval of the amendment. 4629 Dakota St. S.E., Prior Lake, Minnesota 55372-1714 / Ph.

PLANNING REPORT AGENDA ITEM: SUBJECT: APPLICANT: PRESENTER: PUBLIC HEARING DATE: 1 THE WILDS PUD AMENDMENT PRIOR LAKE DEVELOPMENT HORST W. GRASER, DIRECTOR OF PLANNING XYES _NO JANUARY 6, 1994 INTRODUCTION: DESCRIPTION OF PLAN AMENDMENT: The Wilds PUD amendment proposes to change the rear yard setback for townhomes and single family homes on those lots abutting the fairways of the golf course. The applicant has proposed to change pages 41, 42, and 43, of the PUD text which outlines land use standards (see attached). The amendment proposes to reduce the rear yard setback for 1/3 and 1/2 acre homesites from 25 feet to 15 feet and villas from 20 feet to 5 feet. BACKGROUND: On October 22, 1993, the City Council approved The Wilds PUD with a number of land use and land use standard modifications. The development consists of 580 acres of which about 300 acres are devoted to recreational and open space uses and 280 acres will be devoted to residential, streets, and commercial. The residential uses consist of 25-estate homesites, 92-1/2 acre homesites, 148-113 acre homesites, and 191-villas, totalling 466 units. The 18 hole golf course meanders throughout the development allowing for the best possible design as well affording optimum views from surrounding residential areas using the existing environment to create interest and quality places to live. STAFF ANALYSIS: The reasons given for the request is that the homes need to be larger than anticipated. This is the same reason cited by the applicant in their recent variance application for Lot 2, Block 5, to construct two villas within 10 feet of the rear property line. At that hearing, the applicant testified that moving homes closer to the rear property lines will have no significant effects on the function of the golf course. The applicant also stated that although the reduction in rear yard setbacks will leave less private open space, this is acceptable to the residents and will not affect the marketability of the development nor compromise the integrity or quality of the development. Of the 275 single family lots, approximately 145 have direct frontage on the fairways. However, it is anticipated that only a small portion of the lots will actually use this amendment. Outlots C, L, and P, and Block 5, are designated for villas. It is difficult to estimate how many villa units will be affected by the request. This will depend on design and orientation. 4629 Dakota St. S.E., Prior Lake, Minnesota 55372 I Ph. (612) 447-4230 I Fax (612) 447-4245 AN EQUAL OPPORTUNITY EMPLOYER . .. ..-----..--r--.--,---~--. .. .... The following are issues to consider: 1. Some of the lots are shallow and are close to 12,000 square feet as for example in Block 4. The coverage ratio of 22% and 30% impervious surface will also become issues as these lots will be developed with large homes. 2. The Planning Commission in the past has not favored the density/design approach to neighborhood planning but rather opted in favor of the practical concept of considering the relationship of lot size to streets to home separation as critical elements in neighborhood planning. 3. What are the consequences to the developer if the amendment is not permitted? 4. If a closer relationship of the fairway to the rear of homes is not detrimental, why were the rear property lines not adjusted to reflect this? Staff had put the developer on notice that some of the lots were too shallow for building envelopes envisioned by the developer. It would certainly seem prudent to permit the developer to develop the lots with higher valued improvements if the relationship will not adversely impact the neighborhood. Recently, both the Planning Commission and City Council voted in favor of amending the coverage ratio from 18% to 22% after it was discovered that Progress Land Company desired to build larger homes in conflict with the code. It is paramount that the City require its neighborhoods to be quality places to live and/or proceed with amendments to codes or provide deviation in cases where they restrict this objective. I believe The Wilds has planned a development utilizing the environment with respect and as such is the foundation to achieve interest, uniqueness, and excellent use relationships. In this concept, property lines are much less important in achieving the desired results. The residential density of the pun is about 1.1 units per acre which is the lowest of any development in Prior Lake. More ever, the developer has testified that a strict 25 foot rear yard setback is not required to achieve proper use separation between the golf course and homes. ALTERNATIVES: 1. Approve resolution 94-01PC amending The Wilds pun as requested. 2. Continue the hearing for specific purposes. 3. Deny the request.

Burtness, request an amendment to the Wilds PUD for a change in the setbacks for single family attached and single family detached units located on the golf course fairways. The following request is made as and amendment to the PUD: 1. Page 41 of the PUD text to read: ...Rear building line and fencing allowances on golf course to be 15 feet 2. Page 42 of the PUD text to read: ...Rear building line and fencing allowances on golf course to be 15 feet 3. Page 43 of the PUD text to read: ...Rear building line and fencing allowance on golf course to be 5 feet The reason for this request, is the builders who have purchased the single family attached sites are finding the demand for multi-family units needing to be larger units than they anticipated. In some situations, the builders are having a difficult time designing units that will fit on these sites without changing the setback minimum. The same is true with the single family lots located on the golf course. Larger houses than anticipated, are being proposed, which could result in variance requests. This amendment request will also assist the City of Prior Lake in preventing the processing of several variances. l\1l\1-PUD.WPS - 11/30/93 ---- ----------- r I --~--- 4 1 The following is the legal description for developable property in The Wilds PUD amendment application.
