CONDUCT PUBLIC HEARING FOR PROPOSED
PRELIMINARY PLAT OF WOODRIDGE ESTATES FOURTH
ADDITION.
JANUARY 16,1996
The purpose of this item is to consider the preliminary plat and
lot width variances for Woodridge Estates Fourth Addition. The
developer, Brink Land Company LLC, will be represented by
John Mesenbrink. See attached maps and information for
reference to this item.
The City Council approved the preliminary plat of Woodridge
Estates in September 1991. A copy of the approved
preliminarj plat is attached. The subject site consists of
approximately 1.4 acres located in the southeast part of the
approved preliminary plat. The preliminary plat indicates seven
lots, containing approximately 10,000 square feet of lot area
and a cul-de-sac were to be developed.
The preliminary plat was approved during implementation of
the interim 1991 Wetland Conservation Act rules. A
preliminary plat is valid for two years following the approval
date. Since the final plat for the subject site was not submitted
within the two year timeframe, the site is subject to current
Ordinance requirements and the Wetland Conservation Act.
There is a wetland on the subject site which was planned to be
filled in order to develop the lots and cul-de-sac. The
permanent Wetland Conservation Act Rules do not permit
filling of the wetland. Therefore, the applicant has filed a new
preliminary plat for the subject site which is consistent with the
Wetland Conservation Act.
The proposed preliminary plat indicates a three lot, single
family subdivision. Due to the existence of the wetland and the
fact that adjacent lots have been subdivided, developed and all
streets and infrastructure constructed, the applicant has filed a
lot width variance for proposed Lots 2 and 3. The property can
be subdivided into three lots which exceed all Zoning

Ordinance requirements with the exception of lot width,
measured at the 25' front setback line. The preliminary plat
indicates three lots, all in excess of 12,000 square feet. The
applicant requests the Council to grant 56' lot width variances
for proposed Lots 2 and 3 to allow the lots to be platted with lot
widths of 30' each instead of the required 86' lot width
requirement.
The preliminary plat indicates sufficiently sized building
envelopes for each of the three proposed lots. The Subdivision
Ordinance allows the City Council to grant a variance in a
particular case where the subdivider can show by reasons of
exceptional topography, (the wetland) or any other exceptional
and undue hardship, (the rest of the Wood ridge Estates
neighborhood has been developed and the layout and design
established by construction of the roads and platting of
adjacent lots). The variance may only be granted if relief from
the strict application of the Ordinance is not detrimental to the
public welfare and without impairing the intent and purpose of
the Subdivision Ordinance.
It is the opinion of staff granting the lot width variances in this
case will not be detrimental to the public welfare nor would the
intent and purpose of the Subdivision Ordinance be impaired.
The circumstance is unique due to the physical property and
the fact the preliminary plat design was approved at a time
when the wetland could be filled. The preliminary plat of
Woodridge Estates Fourth Addition is substantially consistent
with the preliminary plat of Woodridge Estates. The lot sizes
proposed are somewhat larger than others within the
subdivision however, the difference is negligible. Strict
application of the Ordinance would require the platting of a lot
over 1 acre in size which would be substantially different than
other lots within the neighborhood.
The preliminary plat has been reviewed according to the
applicable provisions of the Subdivision and Zoning Ordinance.
Notification of the public hearing was mailed to properties
located within 500' of the subject site, utility companies, and
Scott County. The City has received no objection to the
preliminary plat as proposed.
The Engineering Department reviewed the proposed
preliminary plat and recommends approval subject to the
conditions outlined in attached Resolution 96-04.
1. Adopt Resolution 96-04 approving the preliminary plat of
Wood ridge Estates 4th Addition and approving the 56' lot
width variances for proposed Lots 2 and 3, subject to
conditions.
2. Continue or table the public hearing for specific
information or reasons identified by the City Council.
3. Deny the preliminary plat finding it inconsistent with
specific provisions of the Zoning and/or Subdivision
Ordinance and Comprehensive Plan.
RECOMMENDATION: Adopt Alternative #1.
ACTION REQUIRED: A motion to adopt Resolution 96-04 as presented or with
changes directed by the City Council.
A motion to close the public hearing.

Sanitary sewer and water services were provided to the three lots with the W oodridge Estates
Third Addition. The elevation of the sanitary sewer in Ridgewood Court may not be deep
enough to serve the proposed houses on Lots 2 and 3 by gravity service. If the sanitary sewer is
not deep enough, then a privately maintained grinder pump will be required to be constructed
with the proposed houses.
Street access will be provided to the lots from Ridgewood Court, which was constructed by the
same developer during the fall of 1995. Each lot will have its own driveway that will connect to
Ridgewood Court.
The developer has decided to leave these three lots as custom graded lots to be done by the
builder. This approach has allowed the vegetation to remain on the site until the proposed houses
will be constructed. The developer and builders will be required to maintain a 30' buffer strip of
undisturbed vegetation along the edge of the existing wetland.

SETTING FORTH CONDITIONS OF PRELIMINARY PLAT APPROVAL.
MOTION BY: SECOND BY:
WHEREAS: the Prior Lake City Council conducted a public hearing on January 16, 1996 to consider
the abbreviated subdivision of "Woodridge Estates Fourth Addition" a preliminary
plat, according to the provisions of Subdivision Ordinance 87-10, Section 6-3-1; and
WHEREAS: notice of the proposed preliminary plat and lot width variances were published and
posted in accordance with MS 462.358, Subd. 3b and Subdivision Ordinance 87-10;
and
WHEREAS: persons interested in said public hearing were afforded the opportunity to present their

NOTICE OF PUBLIC HEARING TO CONSIDER THE
PRELIMINARY PLAT AND LOT WIDTH VARIANCE FOR THE PROJECT
KNOWN AS "WOODRIDGE ESTATES FOURTH ADDITION"
You are hereby notified the City Council will hold a public hearing at Prior Lake Fire
Station #1, located at 16776 Fish Point Road, S.E. (Southwest of the intersection of CR.
21 and Fish Point Road), on Tuesday, January 16, 1996 at 7:30 p.m. or shortly thereafter.
The purpose of the public hearing is to consider the Preliminary Plat or subdivision of the
following legally described property into a 3 single family lots, to be known as
"W oodridge Estates Fourth Addition."
Legal Description:
Outlot A, W oodridge Estates Third Addition
Or more comnlonly described as approximately 3 acres of land located north of
Mushtown Road, and east of the intersection of Parkwood Drive and Ridgewood Court,
in Prior Lake.
In order to subdivide the property as proposed, an application for lot width variance has
been filed ,vith the preliminary plat. Specifically, Prior Lake Zoning Ordinance requires
new lots in the R-1, Suburban Residential Zone to contain 86 feet of lot width, measured
at the 25 foot, front yard setback line, on a public street. The preliminary plat indicates
proposed Lots 2 and 3, Block 1, Woodridge Estates Fourth Addition has 30 feet of
frontage on a public street. The applicant therefore requests the City Council to grant a
56' lot width variance for proposed Lot 2, Block 1 and Lot 3, Block 1, Woodridge Estates
Fourth Addition to allow two 30 foot instead of 86 foot wide lots.
If you desire to be heard in reference to this matter, you should attend this public hearing.
The City Council will accept oral and or written comments. If you have questions
regarding this matter, contact the Prior Lake Planning Department at 447-4230.
