Prior Lake, MN 55372-1714 PLANNED UNIT DEVELOPMENT FINAL PLAN RESOLUTION 04-66 RESOLUTION APPROVING A PLANNED UNIT DEVELOPMENT FINAL PLAN TO BE KNOWN AS WENSMANN 4TH ADDITION MOTION BY: LEMAIR SECOND BY: ZIESKA WHEREAS: Wensmann Realty has submitted an application for a Planned Unit Development Final Plan to be known as Wensmann 4th Addition; and WHEREAS: The Prior Lake Planning Commission considered the proposed Final PUD Plan on March 22, 2004; and WHEREAS, The Planning Commission found the Final PUD Plan to be in substantial compliance with the approved preliminary plan and recommended approval of the Final PUD Plan; and WHEREAS: The Prior Lake City Council considered the proposed Final PUD Plan on April 19, 2004; and WHEREAS: The City Council finds the Final PUD Plan in substantial compliance with the approved Preliminary PUD Plan; and WHEREAS: The City Council finds the PUD Final Plan is compatible with the stated purposes and intent of the Section 1106 Planned Unit Developments of the Zoning Ordinance. NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT HEREBY RESOLVED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF PRIOR LAKE, MINNESOTA: 1. The recitals set forth above are incorporated herein as if fully setforth. 2. The City Zoning Ordinance specifies certain criteria be considered as part of evaluating a Planned Unit Development application. 3. The City Council hereby adopts the following findings: a) Greater utilization of new technologies in building design, materials, construction and land development. The developer has attempted to design the buildings so they fit the land, rather than force the land to fit the building design. The 6- and 8-unit buildings must be redesigned so as to meet the minimum architectural standards (60% Class I materials). b) Higher standards of site and building design. The density of this development has been moved north to lessen the impact on the existing trees and the proximity to Mystic Lake. c) More efficient and effective use of streets, utilities, and public facilities to support high quality land use development at a lesser cost. www.cityofpriorlake.com r: \resoluti\planres\2004\04-66.doc Phone 952.447.4230 / Fax 952.447.4245 PAGE 1 The homeowners association does maintenance of private streets, including plowing and future repairs. This reduces City costs in providing services to these homes. d) Enhanced incorporation of recreational, public and open space components in the development which may be made more useable and be more suitably located than would otherwise be provided under conventional development procedures. The addition of parkland with this development will be utilized by both the future and the existing neighborhood. e) Provides a flexible approach to development which allows modifications to the strict application of regulations within the various Use Districts that are in harmony with the purpose and intent of the City's Comprehensive Plan and Zoning Ordinance. The density and variety of housing units is consistent with the Comprehensive Plan goals to provide a variety of housing styles. f) Encourages a more creative and efficient use of land. The PUD allows the higher density areas to be clustered, and preserves open space. g) Preserves and enhances desirable site characteristics including flora and fauna, scenic views, screening and buffering, and access. The townhouse units are sited to take advantage of the natural views. h) Allows the development to operate in concert with a Redevelopment Plan in certain areas of the City and to insure the redevelopment goals and objectives within the Redevelopment District will be achieved. This criterion is not applicable. i) Provides for flexibility in design and construction of the development in cases where large tracts of land are under single ownership or control and where the usee s) has the potential to significantly affect adjacent or nearby properties. The use of the PUD allows the clustering of the homes and the use of private streets. j) Encourages the developer to convey property to the public, over and above required dedications, by allowing a portion of the density to be transferred to other parts of the site. The additional parkland dedication will help facilitate the creation of a neighborhood park system within this area. k) The design shall consider the whole of the project and shall create a unified environment within the boundaries of the project by insuring architectural compatibility of all structures, efficient vehicular and pedestrian circulation, aesthetically pleasing landscape and site features, and efficient use and design of utilities. The design creates a unified environment. The extension of the existing streets and provision of trails and sidewalks allows for efficient movement of traffic. The landscaping plan will also enhance this area. I) The design of a PUD shall optimize compatibility between the project and surrounding land uses, both existing and proposed and shall minimize the potential adverse impacts of the PUD on surrounding land uses and the potential adverse effects of the surrounding land uses on the PUD. The use of the PUD will allow the clustering of the townhouse units. m) If a project for which PUD treatment has been requested involves construction over a period of time in two or more phases, the applicant shall demonstrate that each phase is capable of addressing and meeting each of the criteria independent of the other phases. r: \resoluti\planres\2004\04-66.doc PAGE 2 There are no additional phases proposed. n) Approval of a PUD may permit the placement of more than one building on a lot. This is not applicable. 0) A PUD in a Residential Use District shall conform to the requirements of that Use District unless modified by the following or other provisions of this Ordinance. 1) The tract of land for which a project is proposed shall have not less than 200 feet of frontage on a public right-of-way; 2) No building shall be nearer than its building height to any property line when the property abutting the subject property is in an "R-1" or "R-2" Use District; 3) No building within the project shall be nearer to another building than ~ the sum of the building heights of the two buildings, except for parking ramps which may be directly connected to another building; and 4) Private roadways within the project site may not be used in calculating required off-street parking spaces. The modifications requested by the developer include the following: (1) The use of private streets. Normally, a development of this type would require a minimum right-of-way width of 50' and a 28' to 30' wide surface. The developer is requesting a 28' to 24' wide private street. The additional 26' of right-of-way would be accommodated by the use of easements adjacent to the private road and (2) Reduced front yard setbacks on the private streets. The conventional setback requirement is 25' from the right-of-way line. The developer is requesting a 22' front yard setback, measured from the building face to the curb of the private street. 4. The Planned Unit Development Final Plan is hereby approved subject to the following conditions a) The Final Plat and Development Contract must be approved by the City Council. b) The Final PUD Plan and PUD Development Contract must be approved by the City Council. 5. The Mayor and City Manager are hereby authorized to execute the PUD Development Contract on behalf of the City. Passed and adopted this 19th day of April, 2004.
