CONSIDER ADMINISTRATIVE LAND DIVISION APPLICATION FOR
EILEEN CONROY FOXLEY ESTATE
FEBRUARY 6, 1995
INTRODUCTION:
BACKGROUND:
DISCUSSION:
The purpose of this item is to consider an administrative land division
ap.peal for the property located at 6300 Conroy Street, legally described
as Tract A, RLS 147. The applicant is the Eileen W. Foxley Estate
represented by Bud Waund, Edina Realty, 14198 Commerce Avenue,
Prior Lake.
The administrative land division has been processed according to
Subdivision Ordinance 87-10, Section 6-1-3. The proposal is to divide
Tract A, RLS 147, containing 56,099 square feet, (1.28 acres), into two,
single family lots as per attached survey. Property owners, utility
companies and the DNR were mailed notice of the application on January
19, 1995.
Staff received a letter from John Gorra, Ridge Construction, Inc., 14133
Shady Beach Trail dated January 20, 1995. See attached letter for
reference. Subdivision Ordinance Section 6-1-3(G) states that written
objections shall constitute an appeal and that such objections shall be
forwarded to the City Council who shall hear the objection and decide the
matter.
Proposed Parcel 1 is vacant and contains 29,700 square feet of lot area.
Parcel 2, contains 26,399 square feet of lot area and is developed with a
single family home. The property is zoned R-l/S-D, Suburban
Residential and Shoreland District. The proposed lots are consistent with
the Zoning Ordinance standards for single family lots adjacent to the
General Development lake of Prior Lake. No variances are required to
divide the subject site as proposed.
The objection to the administrative land division as stated by Mr. Gorra is
"One of the required items should be an inclusion of the easement(s) as
well as the deed restrictions of record on the parcel that should be
furnished as part of their petition to City by the petitioner." The applicant
was advised of the objection and supplied a copy of the "Order and
Decree of Registration" for the property and the Certificate of Title. Within
the "Order and Decree of Registration," the subject site is subject to
several restrictions including a roadway easement in favor of the City of
Prior Lake, Document 151423 and a recreational easement over and

across part of the subject site. The easement is for recreational purposes
and is granted to specific owners of property within the Conroy's Bay
subdivision.
It is the opinion of staff that the objection relates to enforcement of private
deed restriCtions on the subject site. The restrictions are on file with the
Scott County Recorder's Office and identified on the certificate of title.
The applicant advised staff that the owner, as well as prospective buyers
of each proposed parcel are aware of the stipulations identified within the
"Order and Decree of Registration." The recommendation of staff is to
approve the administrative land division application as submitted. The
enforcement of private deed restrictions is not responsibility of the City of
Prior Lake.
1. Approve the administrative land division application for the
Eileen Conroy Foxley Estate as submitted.
2. Table a decision on the issue for further research as directed by
the City Council.
·
The recommendation from staff is to approve the administrative land
division as proposed. The proposed lots exceed the minimum
requirements for single family lots within the underlying Zoning District.
No variances are requested or needed for the proposed land division.
The objection raised is a private issue and not the responsibility of the
City of Prior Lake. The DNR does not object to the approval of the
application as presented.
Comments from the City Engineer are attached to this application.
Questions related to the attached information will be addressed by a
representative of the Engineering Department at the February 6, meeting.
A motion to approve the administrative land division of Tract A, RLS 147
as per attached survey subject to the following conditions:
1. The applicant grant easements for road, drainage and utility
and/or other such easements as deemed necessary by the City
Engineer.
2. Sanitary sewer and water service be provided to each lot and/or
appropriate easements be granted as per the City Engineer.
3. A site plan and report of the existing well and/or septic system be
provided as per the City Engineer.
4. Payment of the Collector Street Fee for Parcel I of $1020.00 as
per memo from Ralph Teschner, Finance Director, dated January
20, 1995. Payment of the fee is to be collected upon approval of
the application.
5. The administrative land division be filed with Scott County and
the newly assigned PID numbers for each tract be reported to
the Prior Lake Planning Department by April 6, 1995. Failure to
record the administrative land division by the aforementioned
date will render the application null and void.

FOR EILEEN CONROY FOXLEY ESTATE - FEBRUARY 6, 1995
COUNCIL AGENDA ITEM 8 C
JANUARY 31, 1995
An engineering review and site inspection was conducted on January 31, 1995 by
representatives of the engineering staff. It appears that sanitary sewer and water
services for the existing dwelling runs northwest from the building on Parcel 2 and
connects to the stubs approximately 40 feet east of the northwest corner of Tract A,
RLS No. 147. A well was identified on Parcel 2 northeast of the dwelling and therefore
would indicate the presence of a septic system either on Parcel 2 or Parcel 1, likely to
the south and west, in a direction opposite the well. A report of the existing well and
septic system should be provided. The property north of Conroy Street is being
considered for development, therefore, Conroy Street may be upgraded in the near
future. Erosion control measures will be required at the time of construction. Drainage
does run across the parcels west of the dwelling and will need to be routed in the
drainage easement between Parcels 1 and 2 or additional easements shall be provided.
Action required should include constructing new building services on Parcel 2 from the
main in Conroy Street and an acceptable abandment of the services in Parcel 1 for
possible reuse to service Parcel 1. The grading, drainage, erosion control, well and
septic tank issues can be handled through the building permit issuance.

NOTICE OF PROPOSED ADMINISTRATIVE LAND DIVISION
January 19, 1995
The Prior Lake Planning Department has received an application from Mr. John Foxley of
161 East Chicago Avenue, Chicago, Illinois, to consider an Administrative Land Division for
the property located at 6300 Conroy Street NE. The proposal is to subdivide this parcel in
order to create another lot, as per attached survey reduction.
Section 6-1-3 of the Prior Lake Subdivision Ordinance allows the City Manager or
representative to authorize subdivision approval without a public hearing under the
following circumstances:
o
.
.
,
The division of the property will not result in more than three parcels.
The property to be subdivided is a lot of record in the office of the County Recorder of
Scott County.
The resulting parcels generally conform to the shape and area of existing or
anticipated land subdivisions in the surrounding areas.
The division will not cause any structure to be in violation of setbacks.
Any easements which may be required by the City must be ~anted.
The owners of land contiguous to the parcel must be notified in writing, and nQ
written obiection received within ten days followin~ notification.
--
Any written objection shall constitute an appeal. Such an objection shall be
forwarded to the City Council who shall hear the objection and decide the
matter.
A copy of the Administrative Land Division and location map are attached. Please accept
this as official notification of this proposed Administrative Land Division. Written
comments or objections regarding this matter should be submitted to the Planning
Department by February 3, 1995. For more information, contact Deb Garross at 447-4230.

Tract A, RLS #147
(assessment/fee review)
January 20, 1995
Tract A, RLS #147 (PIN# 25 288 001 0) was served with water and sewer utilities in 1975 under
Project 75-2 and was assessed 350' of frontage and 1.41 acres for trunk acreage charges when it
existed as Out. lot A Conroy's Bay.
All past applicable assessment amounts have been paid and no special assessment balance
remains against the property. The tax status of the property is in a current state with no
outstanding delinquencies.
Since the proposed administrative land division requires no associated street improvements or
storm water facilities, no storm water fee is applicable.
The area fee calculation for the Collector Street fee excludes Parcel 2 which is to be given credit
for the existing residential home which is located on this parcel. Therefore, the net fee is based
upon the 29,700 sq. ft. for Parcel 1 described as the westerly 119.45' of Tract A RLS #147. A
summary of the development fees to be collected upon approval of the administrative lot split is
detailed as follows:

Application of Eileen Conroy Foxley Estate to Administratively
Divide Tract A, R.L.S. No. 147
Dear Mayor Adren and Council Members:
Please accept this letter as part of the record for the city council proceedings on
the appeal of John Gorra and Ridge Construction, Inc., to the staff approval of an
application for an administrative land division filed by the Foxley Estate in connection
with Tract A, R.L.S. No. 147,
The appeal of Gorra and Ridge Construction, Inc,, is based on the foUowing:
1. Tract A was not a lot of record with the Scott County Recorder before
March 18, 1974, and is not part of a plat filed under Minn. Chp. 505, Rather, Tract A
is a parcel established after 1992 as part of a registered land survey filed under Minn,
Stat. Chap. 508. Accordingly, the application does not comply with § 6-1-3(B) of the
Prior Lake Code.
2. The appellants object to the proposed shape of the parcels because they will
adversely affect the exercise of riparian rights running in favor of lots owned by the
appellants and other property owners in the neighborhood. The narrow width of
proposed parcel will, in the opinion of the appellants, cause a conflict in locating the
docks of the land owners and easement holders, This conflict can be alleviated or
eliminated by expanding the amount of lakeshore allocated to parcel 1 to provide more
frontage in which to locate the respective docks of the owners and easement holders. If
this division is processed by the City as an abbreviated subdivision, § 6-3-1(D) of the
Prior Lake Code would allow an inquiry into the effect of the subdivision on adjacent
property, such as the lots to which the riparian rights are appurtenant.

In summary, the appellants requests that the City Council deny the application
because it fails to comply with § 6-1-3(B) and (C) of the Prior Lake Code, and that the
applicant be directed to apply for subdivision using the abbreviated subdivision process
under § 6-3-1 of the Prior Lake Code.

LARRY ANDERSON, DIRECTOR OF PUBLIC WORKS
THE WILDS EXCAVATING/GRADING PERMIT
FEBRUARY 3, 1995
On Tuesday, January 31, 1995, the City received from Prior Lake Development an
excavating and filling permit application to move 145,000 cubic yards of excavated
material from the O'Laughlin site to the proposed club house site at The Wilds.
Excavating and filling permits are normally issued by the City Engineer. Considering the
magnitude of this project, staff believes it would not be prudent to issue the permit
without the City Council review. The last permit, which the Council reviewed, was the
dredging at the Mark Hyland parcel located at Fremont Avenue and County Road 82.
The request to move this material was discussed with the developer last fall. The
developer discussed moving this material during the winter while the streets were frozen
to reduce the risk of damaging the streets. The developer was asked to make an early
permit application submission so that adequate time would be available for processing.
This request has not been honored. Attached is a copy of a letter to the developer
dated October 25, 1994.
The request is to move 145,000 cubic yards of material from the O'Laughlin parcel to
the hotel/clubhouse site. The developer desires to raise up the area where the
clubhouse will be to provide a vista to the fairways. The clubhouse construction is
proposed to commence in 1995. Since hauling of the material on frozen streets will
reduce the impact on the streets, the developer is seeking immediate approval so that
the material can be transported with belly dump trucks prior to the frost coming out of
the streets, which normally occurs towards the end of February or about March 1. Staff
believes that if the material is to be hauled over the streets, the best time is when the
streets are frozen.
It's unfortunate that the developer has put the City in a position of trying to fast tract the
review process and seek Council approval at the last minute. Council discussion of this
under other business could provide a forum for this.
Staff has requested that the developer contact property owners adjacent to the
proposed activity and obtain approval of the proposed improvements. Attached is a
copy of a letter from the developer to address various points that were initially raised by
staff without an in-depth review. Attached are copies of letters signed by residents
concerning the operation, two residents have not been contacted. The City requested
MSA Consulting Engineers to review the proposed grading. Their review is being done
as this memo is being written. Many of the points in MSA Consulting Engineer's memo
are being addressed in Timn Jacobs letter. Staff will continue to review this application
and discuss points of concern with the developer. Major points of concern will be
discussed at the Council meeting if the Council elects to discuss this issue.
The following
1.
points need to be addressed prior to a permit being issued'
A portion of the excavation area is in the Shoreland
excavation will be allowed in the Shoreland District.
District. No
,
The proposed grading will impact the adjacent neighbors during the
construction activity. While the developer is contacting adjacent residents
for approval, restrictions need to be in place to ensure to the extent
possible that disturbances will be minimized. Examples are as follows:
A,
B,
C.
D.
E.
Use of newer trucks which operate with less noise from the
exhaust.
Maximum 20 mph speed limit.
Sweeping of streets to reduce dust.
Traffic control plan with signing and appropriate flag personnel.
Notify school bus personnel.
,
The property owner, James Kruks, on County Road 83 immediately north
of the northwest corner of The Wilds will have a substantially different
landscape adjacent to him after the completion of this grading. The
proposed grading will lower the property to the north and east of James
Kruks property by 40 feet to the north and 30 feet to the east. Staff will
require that a 25 foot buffer strip be provided before the slope starts at the
Kruks' residence. The plan which was supplied shows a 3:1 slope in
these areas. The developer has agreed to reduce the slopes to 4:1 slope.
,
The contractor doing the work is not the same contractor which
constructed the streets in The Wilds. The developer needs to address
how the City will be protected in the event that The Wilds prime contractor
claims that the streets under his contract have been damaged. Adequate
security also needs to be provided along with insurance naming the City.
,
The developer needs to agree to comply with load restrictions and a
method of monitoring the enforcement. The developer indicated that the
streets are constructed to 9 ton design. The streets have not had the final
layer of bituminous laid; therefore, the design standard has not been met.
The developer needs to provide testing at the end of the hauling
acceptable to the City Engineer to show that the street subgrade has not
been destroyed.
,
Security needs to be provided, amount undetermined at this point.
7. A traffic control plan needs to be provided.
,
,
Provide erosion control plan acceptable to City Engineer.
Acknowledgement that the grading operation is in no way to be used as
rationale for subsequent development approvals. The current zoning
regulations stand as is and the proposed grading will not influence or
commit the City to any development scheme. Development in the future
may require regrading.
2
10.
Provide copies of wetland delineation to ensure construction activities are
outside of wetlands. The wetlands have been delineated.
11.
The narratives discuss moving 120,000 cubic yards of material. The plan
shows 145,000 cubic yards. The permit application needs to be modified.
12.
The haul route needs to be approved by the City Engineer. It appears that
a section of the haul route along Wilds Parkway can be eliminated.
The application will continue to be reviewed and staff will work with the developer to
remove loose ends on Monday. If the Council chooses to review this under Other
Business, staff will have conditions for permit approval available at the meeting.
The Prior Lake/Spring Lake Watershed Board permit is required. The National Pollutant
Discharge Elimination System permit from the MPCA requires only that notification be
provided to the MPCA.
The Watershed District meeting is February 14, 1995, and the developer has requested
a special meeting.

Dear Tim,
This letter is in regard to the request for information related to the excavation of the former
O'Laughlin site to provide fill to The Wilds site. It is anticipated that excavation of the site on
the scale described to the DRC on October 20, 1994 may require several permit reviews by
various jurisdictions. It is difficult for staff to respond to a verbal idea without benefit of a
detailed set of plans. The information in this letter should not be considered all inclusive but
rather, an attempt to alert you to possible issues associated with the proposed excavation. Please
consider the following issues:
Io
The proposed excavation will at a minimum require that a grading and filling permit be
obtained from the City of Prior Lake. A copy of the permit form is attached indicating the
required Submission Requirements.
.
Approximately 15 - 20 acres of the potential excavation site is located within a Shoreland
District of a DNR designated Natural Environment Lake, (Hass Lake 70-78). See
attached Zoning Map for reference to the Shoreland District Overlay Zone. As such
shoreland alterations are restricted as per Zoning Ordinance 9.4 attached and may require
additional permits from the DNR and City of Prior Lake.
o
The Minnesota Environmental Quality Board Environmental Review Program manual
lists projects and threshold requirements which may trigger an Environmental
Assessment Worksheet (EAW) and/or an Environmental Impact Statement (EIS). One
Mandatory EAW Category which may affect the excavation project is listed on page 45
of the Manual. Specifically, Subp. 12.B. states:
"For development of a facility for the extraction or mining of sand, gravel, stone,
or other nonmetallic minerals, other than peat, which will excavate 40 or more
acres of land to a mean depth of ten feet or more during its existence, the local
government unit shall be the RGU."
Staff discussed the proposal with Greg Downing of the Environmental Quality Board
who stated that excavation of 40 or more acres to a mean depth of ten feet or more would
require an EAW.
,
Wetland Conservation Act: A wetland delineation report and survey may be required to
determine the location and impact, if any, on protected wetlands.
5. A Permit will be required from the Prior Lake/Spring Lake Watershed District.
o
A National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) Permit from the MPCA,
Minnesota Pollution Control Agency is required for all projects that disturb 5 or more
acres.
If it is your intent to proceed with the project, a detailed site grading plan should be prepared by
a professional Engineer for the excavation site and the fill site. The site plan(s) should indicate
the location of the Shoreland District boundary, anticipated vegetation removal and proposed
restoration plan(s) in addition to the Submission Requirements outlined on the Prior Lake
Grading and Excavation Permit.
If you have questions related to this letter please contact me directly at 447-4230. The majority
of permits would be processed through the Engineering Department and as such, detailed
questions may be referred to their office.

to accommodate this use. The dirt removed from this site for this proposal reflects this
overall plan.
B. The Clubhouse site, It is our intention to develop this site in 1995. To that end we
need an extensive amount of engineered fill (approximately 120,000 cubic yards). The
O°Loughlin property has the required amount of fill to satisfy this need.
C. Time oeriod- We will commence immediately upon receiving the permit. It is
estimated' the duration of hauling this fill is 2-1/2 weeks, commencing in early February.
D. Daily timing~ It is our intention to run our trucks 24 hours a day. This is done for 2
reasons:
1. This prevents the fill material from setting up and freezing, and
2. It condenses the time frame of operation to it minimum.
E. Amount of fill moved, Estimated 120,000 cubic yards.
F. Equipment used; and quantities:
1. 5 belly dumps
2. 1 hydraulic excavator at the O'Loughlin site
3. 1 dozer and compaction machine at the clubhouse site
4. 1 sweeper
G. Haul route (see drawing), The fill will be moved from the O'Loughlin site south to
Wilds Drive, then proceeding east on Wilds Parkway to Wilds Ridge, right to Outlot H
(Clubhouse site).The return loop will exit from the existing clubhouse access down Wilds
Parkway. (see attached map) We are presently reviewing eliminating the return loop to
cut down on the amount of the Parkway being utiJized.
H. Erosion control- On both sites, erosion control measures will be used as described
on the submitted engineering drawings.
I. Water quality_ controls- Both the clubhouse site and the O'Loughlin land removal site
have been designed to direct water run-off to collection ponds, and sediment filtered out
before continuing it's natural course. There will be pipe cuts from all containment ponds.
J. Security_- Grading standards due to the 24-hour nature of this operation, there will be
supervisory personnel at both locations. PLD - Emergency number after hours is Brad
Braaten at 440-8068. All grading slopes will meet required standards; on O'Loughlin
property the steep slope will be "max slope of 4 to 1. On condo site 3 to 1 slope
maximum. Turf on these steep slopes will be addressed on the drawings as well as any
buffer strips required. Safety fences will be provided where required.
K. Lighting- During evening hours:
1. All lighting is portable, directed down toward the area to be excavated and/or filled.
2. No lighting will be pointed up nor directed towards any residences.
L. Road conditions- The roads involved in this operation were designed, constructed,
and inspected for a 9-ton design. We will not be exceeding this design standard at any
time during this operation. Any damage to the road surface will be addressed and
corrected to City standards. Further, additional class 5 was added to strengthen the
road.
M. Traffic control- We will provide truck hauling signs on Wilds Parkway and Wilds
Ridge also, we will install mobile 20mph speed limit signs.
N. Residential notices- Residences have been notified to contact the Wilds at 445-
4455 should they encounter any problems with this operation.
O. Clean-up- We will monitor the roads on a daily basis to clean up any fill material
deposited on the streets. The contractor will have a sweeper on site and will maintain
the road including a final clean-up after we are complete.
P. Residents - The residents of the development are located on the attached maps.
Their are children in the development. They are identified on the attached maps. They
are picked up and dropped off at their door.
Q. Noise Containment - The hydraulic excavator will provide for less noise than other
construction equipment. We are at this time unable to identify exactly which trucks will
be utilized. Should any trucks be of unexceptable noise level we will remove it from the
fleet at replace with a quieter vehicle.
R. Insurance - The City of Prior Lake will be named an insurance on the liability policy.
S. Shoreland District - It has been determined that part of this project is in a shoreland
district. We will attempt to revise the area affected to keep us out of the district, if this is
not possible we will adhere to governing body standards.
Please note: Prior Lake Development acknowledges that approval from the City of Prior
Lake does not constitute any acceptance of the proposed final usage of the O'Loughlin
property. Further, Prior Lake Development acknowledges that we do this work at our
own risk and cannot at a later date claim hardship from this City approval should we, or
any future owner, decide to revise the usage or configuration of this O'Loughlin property.
I trust this is the extent of the information you require.
Sincerely,
Timn Jacobs

The Wilds, Site Grading Outlot H and Borrow Area
Borrow Area
The borrow area is located north of The Wilds plat and east of County Road No. 83. The
site naturally drains to the east and northeast through a low wetland area. The grading plan
is proposing to lower the site but still maintain the same drainage pattern, except a
temporary water quality pond will be constructed adjacent to the wetlands to eliminate any
silt from entering the wetland. The wetlands have been delineated by Peterson
Environmental and are as shown. This pond will be required to be maintained until the
disturbed grading area is reestablished with sufficient vegetation.
There is an existing adjacent residential house located at the southwest comer of the borrow
area which was built at the top of the kill. The grading plan is proposing to lower the
grade by 20 to 30 feet, adjacent to this residential property, by using 3:1 slopes. This area
should be graded using a minimum of 4:1 slopes and an area 20 to 25 feet wide, adjacent
to the residential property, should be left undisturbed to limit any erosion problems onto
the adjaoent property. The adjacent prope~ has trees along its property lines which could
be damaged if erosion was to occur.
Additional erosion control methods and silt fence will be required for the steep slopes and
overall site, which will be inspected and directed by the Ci~ Engineer.
A portion of Wilds Drive as shown to be used for the haul road has not been constructed.
This will be graded and has an approved grading plan as part of The Wilds plat.
The location map on the grading plan indicates using Wilds Ridge and Wilds Parkway,
south of Wilds Ridge, as haul roads. One of these roads should be eliminated. This will
lessen the disturbance to the residential area.

The grading plan is proposing 2:1 slopes in several areas. These slopes should be a
minimum of 3:1. Steeper slopes may be requested along with the final building site
grading plan.
The grading plan is proposing two temporary water quality ponds. The pond located
adjacent to Lot 23 Block 6 was originally designed to be constructed in the drainage and
utility easement as shown just west of Lot 23. This would have required the clearing of a
large wooded area. The new grading plan has relocated this pond at the southwest comer
of Lot 23. This is an acceptable location for the new pond, but additional easement will
be required over Lot 23 for the pond site. The grading plan is proposing the discharge
from this pond to be overland along the south and east lot lines of Lot 23. The original
pond was designed with an outlet pipe constructed into the existing catch basin located in
Wilds View Road. Because of the steep grade along the lot lines of Lot 23 and potential
erosion control problems, the new pond should be outletted by pipe into the same catch
basin as the original design.
The drainage over a portion of the site, adjacent to the west property line, is directed onto
Wilds Ridge. The contour lines should be changed to limit this area and direct the majority
of this water to the temporary pond.
The temporary ponds must be maintained until the building construction, final site grading,
and erosion control are complete. Additional erosion control methods, including additional
silt fence, may be required and will be inspected and directed by the City Engineer.
Haul Road
The proposed haul road route and hours of operation have raised several issues and
requirements which should be addressed by the Developer. These are a~ follows:
· Noise and how this will affect the residences during the evening hours.
· Additional road construction signs should be used.
Road testing should be done by a soils company in the spring of this year to
determine if any damage was done to the roads.
Road inspection should be done by a soils company periodically during the hauling
period to detect any problem areas.
· Dirt cleanup from spills.

· Limit speed of trucks through resident/al area, have police periodically monitor.
If this is a school bus route, the school bus company and school should be
contacted.
Could the number of trucks be cut back during the late night hours to help control
noise?
= No overloading of trucks.
If independent truckers are to be used, are they covered under the general
contractor's insurance posted with the Ci~?
Contractor must have a superintendent on site and available 24 hours a day to
handle any problems which may occur.
= Bonding and insurance will be required.
