JULY 21, 1994
INTRODUCTION:
The purpose of this heating is to consider a preliminary plat application by Nedegaard
Constn~ction Inc. and Phor Lake development for a 15 unit townhome development. The subject
site consists of 5.7 acres adjacent to and east of Wilds Parkway. The site was ohginally platted
as Lots 1-5, Block 5, of The Wilds, to be developed with 16 villa units. The applicant has stated
that the size of the villas have increased necessitating a reduction in density from 16 to 15 units
and a replat to implement the revised development plan. A motion in the form of a
recommendation to the City council is in order. Resolution 96-06PC has been prepared to
facilitate the review process.
REVIEW PROCESS by Horst W. Graser, Director of Planning
The application has been submitted in accordance with Ordinance 87-10 (lhior Lake Subdivision
Ordinance). The proposed development must also be consistent with the development fl-amework
and standards established in The Wilds PUD. Attached is page 43 of The Wilds PUD Text which
has established development standards for attached housing units.
COMPREHENSIYE PLAN COMPLIANCE by Horst W. Graser, Director of Planning
This proposed development is part of The Wilds multi-use PUD approved in October of 1993.
The residential land use component of the PUD totals 466 units of which 191 are attached and
275 are single family detached units. This proposal is well within the range allowed in the PUD.
The replat actually decreases the density in the PUD. Although the density has decreased the
size and value of the units has increased. This proposal is in substantial compliance with the
comprehensive plan and The Wilds PUD development framework.

AN EQUAL OPPORTUNFrf F_~4PLOYER
The subject site contains 5.7 acres of northeast sloping land. The development plan calls for 15
villa units for a ga'oss density of 2.6 units per acre. Access to the site is from Wilds Parkway via
a private road. The perimeter of the site is totally controlled and owned by The Wilds
Development Team. The site contains a wetland feature (Basin W), towards the center of the
site. The quality of this wooded wetland has been compromised by grading and lack of erosion
control measures. The matter has been turned over to the Watershed district.
This site offers some unique features. It forms a long desirable edge with Number 18 hole of the
golf course. The higk elevation of the site offers breathtaking views well beyond the limits of
the City and over unique manmade and natural features. Currently units 2-4 are under
construction. Utilities have been installed for this site in conjunction with the initial developers
agreement of The Wilds.
PLANNING CONSIDERATIONS by Horst W. Graser, Director of Planning
The development plan calls for 15 villas, some of which attached and some freestanding. Access
is via a private one-way road system with guest parking incorporated into a center median. The
current plat has ch'ainage easement which are in conflict with the proposed plat. The applicant
has petitioned for vacation of all utility and drainage easements within Block 5 with the intent to
rededicate easements based on the proposed plan. A Homeowners Association must include
language that requh'es the private street shall remain private in perpetuity and any restoration of
landscape items or surface features damaged as a result of utility repair is the responsibility of
the Homeowners Association and must be filed with the City. Addresses will be from the Wilds
Parkway. A landscape plan will be requh'ed at the time of building permit for each unit.
ENGINEERING CONSIDERATIONS by Bruce Loney, Assistant City Engineer
The following comments are in regards to the above referenced plat. Also enclosed are
memorandums from Jeffi'ey Evens and Lanol Leichty on the plat submittals.

THE VILLAS AT THE WILDS 1ST ADDITION preliminary/final plat review
July 14, 1994
The following is a list of comments and concerns I have after reviewing the above mentioned
plat/construction.
GRADING PLAN
1.) An easement should be considered in the rear of lot 7 for the proposed drainage swale.
Per City Code 6-6-5 (C) "Where a subdivision is traversed by a watercourse, drainage
way, channel or stream, there shall be provided a drainage and/or floodage easement
conforming substantially with the lines of the watercourse or its flood plain and of such
further width as shall be determined by the City Engineer."
2.)
The grading plan indicates swales are proposed between some of the lots. Easements
should be considered on these lot lines.
3.)
Per City Code 6-4-2 (J)4 a plan shall include "Vegetative cover and clear delineations of
any vegetation proposed for removal." Numerous mature trees exist on the site and these
should be shown on the plans.
4.)
A valley gutter is proposed on Wilds Trail at the entrance of this development. This
should by shown on the plans to insure proper coordination and construction.
5.)
A 5' concrete sidewalk is proposed on the east side of Wilds Trail the entire length of this
plat. This should be shown and labeled on this plan. This construction of the sidewalk
should be clearly explained who and how this will be coordinated. Ped ramps will be
required across the median and at each end of the entrance.
6.)
Several retaining walls are indicated on this plan. It notes that the walls are to be
designed by others. It should be noted that any retaining wall built over 4' high requires a
permit. This construction must be coordinated with the sidewalk installation to insure
there is no conflict in the future.
7.) A Benchmark is needed on this sheet to insure the proper datum is used.
8.)
Surmountable curb is proposed in the parking lot islands. B6 curb is typically used. The
curb elevations shown on this plan indicates in some areas the 6' island will have approx.
2.5' difference in elevation. This will be very hard to maintain and will not be very
ascetically pleasing.
9.)
Erosion control is a very important element of construction. Grading has been taking
place on this site with little or no silt fence in place. The plans indicate silt fence to be
installed around Basin W and around almost the entire site. The fence should be
installed be any more grading takes place. It appears Basin W has possibly been filled
and/or disturbed. This should be investigated A.S.A.P..
PLAT
1.)
2.)
MISC
1.)
It appears there are some light dashed lines running through the lots. These may be the
old lot lines, These lines should be removed or explained,
A 10' easement on both sides of the east lot line is shown on the recorded plat of The
Wilds. This easement should be shown on this plat and may be needed for the proposed
drainage swale.
The situation with the additional hydrants that need to be added needs to be resolved.
This should be coordinated with the City building official.

Villas at the Wilds - Pre/Final Plat Review
July 13, 1994
LLVILL
1. Are drainage easements between lots needed ?
2. Grading for a swale is shown outside of the property. A drainage easement will be needed if
this is left as shown.
3. Ordinance 94-01 requires a 30' setback from the HWL to the building pad. One building on Lot
6 and one building on Lot 7 do not meet this criteria if the HWL is 1024.2 as stated by Pioneer
Engineering.
4. The emergency overflow on the grading plan is shown as 1023.0. Pioneer stated that the HWL
is 1024.2. This needs to be coordinated so that there is no discrepancy between the two.
5. There is one building in Lot 6 set at 1026.17. Code 9-6-5:(C) states that all lots adjacent shall
have the lowest floor level 3' above the HWL. The stated HWL adjacent to this lot is 1024.2, which is only
2' below this building pad.
6. Grading has already occured on this site. The original grading shows silt fence to be installed
around wetland basin W. A site visit revealed that no silt fence has been installed around this basin.

1TEMII - GREG ENGEBOS - VARIANCE
Grog Engebos, 4931 Beach Street, stated that when he was before the Council to appeal his denial of the
three (3) foot north side yard variance, it was noted he needed a lot area variance for 14588 Glendale
Avenue, as the lot is less than 10,000 square feet. He is now requesting that variance.
Gina Mitchell, Associate Planner, presented the information as per planning report of July 21, 1994. The
Planning Commission acted on a request on June 16, 1994, granting a five (5) foot south side variance and
denying a three (3) foot north side variance to the site. Nk Engebos appealed the Planning Commission
dec/sion to deny the three (3) foot north side yard variance. The Council did not act on the appeal because
it became evident that a lot area variance was needed. The subject site is 56' wide and 140' deep
containing approximately 7,840 square feet of lot area. The required lot size for a substandard
non-waterfront lot of record in the Shoreland District is 10,000 square feet. The request is for a 2,160
square foot lot area variance for the site to be considered buildable. The site is served with utilities and
assessments have been paid on the property. The applicant owns the adjacent lot to the north as well as the
subject site. Tiffs lot will be considered buildable provided that the lot area variance is granted and the lot
is owned by a separate individual other than the applicant when the building permit is filed. Hardship is
caused by the the current Zoning regulations and is not the result of the property owner.
Tom Roszak, 14581 Glendale Avenue, objected to building on a smaller lot and thought the two lots should
be combined.
Horst Graser, Director of Planning, explained the standards of the current ree,m.dations. Taxes and sewer and
water assessments have been paid on the sub:~.ct site. A brief summary on the ordinance standards was
given.
Comments by the Commissioners were: there should be different standards for small lots, uniqueness of lot,
hardship criteria has been met, and all were in support of the request.

The Public Hearing was called to order at 8:00 PM. The public was in attendance and a sign-up sheet was
circulated.
M_aXe Morley, Project Manager for The Wilds, stated he is representing Nedegaard Construction in this
request. The site consists of Lots 1-5, Block 5, of The Wilds and was originally platted with 16 units. The
size of the villas has increased therefore necessitating a reduction from 16 units to 15 units and a application
to replat was submitted.
Horst Graser, Director of Planning, presented the information as per planning report of July 21, 1994. The
application has been submitted in accordance with Subdivision 87-10 and consistent with the development
framework and standards in The W'flds PUD. The subject site contains 5.7 acres and the development plan
for 15 units will have a gross density of 2.6 units per acre. The site contains a wetland feature (Basin W)
which has been compromised by grading and lack of erosion control measures. The current plat has
drainage easements which are in conflict with the proposed plat. The applicant has petitioned for vacation
of all utility and drainage easements within Block 5 with the intent to redeclicate easements based on the
proposed plan. This vacation petition will be brought before the City Council for consideration. Resolution
94436PC has been prepared for consideration by the Planning Commissioners.
Larry Anderson, City Engineer, gave a brief summary on engineering aspects of the proposed plat and
stated that issues are being resoNed.
Co~ts from the Commissioners were: easement vacations, wetland Basin W restoration, erosion
control enforcement, private streets versus public streets, homeowners association, walk'ways, and all were
in support of the application.

The Public Heating was called to order at 8:32 P.M. The public was in attendance and a sign-up sheet was
circulated.
Scott Clements, General Manager of David Carlson Companies, gave a presentation on their proposal. The
proposed development consists of 88 townhome units on 21.01 acres. Common areas have been designated
throughout the site for use by all the townhomes. The topography is extreme in some areas but has been a
marketing plus. Sidewalks are being designed for pedestrian access. Length variances for cul-de-sacs are
being requested also. Tree loss is a concern and 200 trees are planned to be replaced as per the landscape
plan. Architectural design has been addressed and the development will be a very up-scale project. The
density of Sterling South is lower then what was approved for The Wi/ds PUD.
Horst Graser, Director of Planning, presented the information as per planning report of July 21, 1994. The
request is for Preliminary Plat approval of Outlot P and two cul-de-sac length variances. The PUD was

Re: Replat Block 5, The Wilds
Dear Mr. Graser:
I am writing for the purpose of providing you with the narrative
describing this request. I would like to point out that the
outside boundaries of the parcel are not being changed. Rather,
what we are requesting is a modification of the interior lot
lines.
The product we are building on this site is very uni_~ue. It is
a cross between a luxury custom single family home and a
townhome. These homes will be built in clusters of three. We
expect that in each cluster one home will be free standing and
the other two homes will share a limited common wall. Our
approach is to create both the privacy that a single family
homeowner enjoys together with the opportunity to have a great
deal of flexibility in designing their floor plan and tc combine
this with the maintenance free benefits of association living.
Originally, when the developer platted this outlot into Block 5,
the plan was to eventually create sites for sixteen homes. From
the beginning and to this day, we did not want to plat each
individual homesite until the home had been designed. In this
way, by retaining some flexibility as to where the lot line will
be placed until the unit is sold, we would be better able to
respond to the wishes of our buyers.
The setting for these homes is breathtaking. We have spent a
considerable sum in retaining the services of Walsh Bishop, a
regionally recognized local architectural fir~,, to design these
homes. All of the homes will have the "Prairie School" look and
exclusively designed by Walsh Bishop. The appearance of these
homes is striking. In addition, the entrance area will be well
landscaped as will each individual unit. With only the first
three homes under construction, we are already receiving rave

reviews. The area which we are requesting to be replatted is
being closely watched bv the real estate, housing and financial
community of the Twin C~ties.
When this property ~as originally planned to contain 1-6 individ-
ual homesites, the main floor footprint was proj. ected at approx-
imately 2,000 square feet with an average price of $550,000.
After the sale of the first three units, at lea~-~t one footprint
is over 3, 000 square feet and the average price is above
$800,000. The design of these units incorporates large over-
hang~ which has also taken up additional space.
As a result of all of this, the developer has agreed at our urg-
ing that the number of homesite~ on thi~ parcel should ba
reduced from 16 to 15. The only way to allocate th~s additional
land is by readjusting all of the lot lines. This is the reason
for the replat.
Since there are three homes under construction, we also believed
this was the time to plat those lots. These three homes are
represented by Lots 2, 3 and 4. Lot 5 is the access/common area
and will be deeded to the association. I also wish to confirm
our agreement that we will not make further requests %o altar
Lots 1, 6, 7 or 8 other than to further subdivide them similar
to Lots 2, 3, 4 and 5.
We appreciate the City's reluctance to replat property.
However, we are trying to respond to market demand for biqger
and more expensive homes. We believe the City wants this type
of housing and that is why they approved The wilds. We also
believe that this type of request is the type of change
envisioned by a Planned Unit Development.
If you need any additional information regarding this request,
please do not hesitate to contact me.
Sincerely,
~a~i!~. Newman
