HomeMy WebLinkAbout4F - Wilderness Ponds CONSENT AGENDA: PREPARED BY: SUBJECT: DATE: INTRODUCTION: BACKGROUND: DISCUSSION: STAFF AGENDA REPORT 4F DEB GARROSS, DRC COORDINATOR CONSIDER ADOPTION OF RESOLUTION APPROVING A MINOR AMENDMENT TO PRELIMINARY PLAT OF WILDERNESS PONDS. SEPTEMBER 18,1995 95-93 THE The purpose of this item is to consider a minor amendment, or change to the preliminary plat of Wilderness Ponds. The City Council approved the preliminary plat on March 20, 1995 subject to the conditions outlined in Resolution 95-17. The developer was requested by staff, to submit an amendment to the preliminary plat related to park dedication and right-of-way width for proposed Wilderness Trail. A copy of the proposed preliminary plat amendment as well as a copy of the approved preliminary plat and Resolution 95-17 are attached for your information. Subdivision Ordinance 87-6, Section 6-3-3B3, provides the City Council the discretion to review proposed amendments to an approved preliminary plat and states: "If the City Council determines that the scope of the revisions do not constitute a new plat, the Council can order the preliminary plat amended to reflect the revisions with no additional fees charged." In the event the Council determines the scope of the revisions do constitute a new plat, the developer must reapply for preliminary plat review by both the Planning Commission and City Council. Director of Parks and Recreation, Paul Hokeness reviewed the initial land and park dedication for the preliminary plat of Wilderness Ponds as well as the proposed trail locations. The approved preliminary plat indicates park land dedication around a portion of Blind Lake where a proposed trail was to be installed. Upon site inspection, Paul Hokeness found the installation of a trail in the proposed location would be nearly impossible due to steep slopes and a large number of trees that would have to be removed to accommodate a trail. In addition, the wetland within the park located southwest of the intersection of Blind Lake Trail and Fish Point Road prohibits installation of a ball field as originally intended. Due to the site conditions, the Park and Recreation Director 16200 E~HPJ<C~eek Ave. S.E., Prior Lake. Minnesota 55372-1714 / Ph. (612) 447-4230 / Fax (612) 447-4245 AN EQUAL OPPORTUNITY EMPLOYER ISSUES: ALTERNATIVES: negotiated a revised park dedication for the preliminary plat which is outlined on the attached letter to developer, Mike Giles, dated August 24, 1995. The revised park dedication changes the approved preliminary plat layout in that it adds one additional lot adjacent to the lake shore of Blind Lake; removes park land from the perimeter of Blind Lake; increases the right-of-way width for proposed Wilderness Trail in order to accommodate a sidewalk, which would replace the lake shore trail; and allows the rear lot lines of all proposed lake shore lots to be extended out into the lake bed of Blind Lake. (Blind Lake is an "Un-Meandered" lake which means the water is considered public, however the lake bed is privately owned and can therefore be platted). The issue under consideration by the City Council is to determine whether or not the proposed changes to the park land dedication, addition of one lot, and change in right-of-way width for Wilderness Trail can be made via adoption of Resolution 95-93 or if the change requires review and recommendation by the Planning Commission. Staff is of the opinion the Council may adopt Resolution 95-93 as written or with changes recommended by the Council. The proposed amendment to the preliminary plat is a result of staff recommending alternative park dedication and development. The developer has agreed to the changes in the land dedication and will install trails, a picnic shelter/rest area beside the trail on Outlot C, a bituminous basketball court on Outlot A, additional landscaping for the parks with in the subdivision; install a landscaped comer monument sign with a park sign incorporated thereon, finish grading of park land, install a 5' concrete sidewalk on the east side of Wilderness Trail, procure the necessary trail easement to enable access to The Ponds Athletic Complex, as well as provide the City with $5,000.00 for the purchase of play equipment for parks within the subdivision. 1. Adopt Resolution 95-93 approving a minor amendment to the preliminary plat of Wilderness Ponds described therein. 2. Pull this item from the consent agenda for discussion. 3. Deny the proposed amendment to the preliminary plat of Wilderness Ponds. RECOMMENDATION: Alternative #1. ACTION REQUIRED: "SUO 1 C 1 " 2 RESOLUTION 95-93 RESOLUTION PROVIDING FOR AN AMENDMENT TO THE PRELIMINARY PLAT OF WILDERNESS PONDS. MOTION BY: SECOND BY: WHEREAS, The City Council approved the preliminary plat of Wilderness Ponds on March 20, 1995 subject to the conditions outlined in Resolution 95-17; and WHEREAS, the preliminary plat of Wilderness Ponds is proposed to be amended to change the park dedication, add one single family lot, and widen the right-of-way of proposed Wilderness Trail; and WHEREAS, Subdivision Ordinance 87-6, Section 6-3-3B3, provides the City Council may determine the scope of proposed revisions do not constitute a new plat, and thereby order the preliminary plat be amended to reflect the revisions; and WHEREAS, the City Council determined the proposed changes outlined herein, do not constitute a new plat.

The sidewalk is acceptable as shown on the plat along Blind Lake Trail; 2. There is a need for a minimum of 25 feet along Blind Lake between the wetland and the back of property lines. This can be accomplished via trail easements along Lots 7, 8, and 9, Block 2, as it appears that there is not enough width to construct a trail; 3. The access to Outlot A from Wellington Court will be sufficient to get to the parkland. However, there needs to be access provided to the south next to Lot 1, Block 5 in order to have public access to that area as well; 4. The minimum of 150 feet of street exposure to Blind Lake has not been met. An additional 20 feet needs to be acquired between Lot 13, Block 2 and Lot 1, Block 4; 5. Trails will be installed by the developer and reimbursed by the Capital Park Fund at designated locations in Outlot B and Outlot D; 6. A Neighborhood Park will exist on Outlot C. The developer has agreed to grade the Outlot acceptable to the Parks Department as well as provide up to $5,000 for the purchase of play equipment for the site which will be installed by the Parks Department. The ball field and the shelter will be constructed ty the Parks Department. If you need any further clarification, please let me know. Thank you. MEM02 16200 Eagle Creek Ave., Prior Lake.

Comments per Lani Leichty, Water Resources Coordinator. 1. The storm sewer profile from CB-3 to MH-1 should also show the profile connecting to existing structure. The storm profile from Wetland #2 to CB-5 and other culvert profiles should be shown. 2. Drainage Items: Per Ord. 6-4-3:(N)2. (A) The emergency overflow route must be shown on the rear yard catch basin location in Block 3. Adjacent house pads should be 2' above the emergency overflow elevation. Please consider removing this CB altogether. (8) The pad on Block 4, Lot. 1 needs to be set 3' higher than the 100-yr HWL of Blind Lake. (C) An 1111 x 1711 map showing existing drainage boundaries showing the numbering scheme for the. existing conditions should be submitted. (D) It appears that Wetland #2 has not been routed through Sediment Basin #3 from the proposed routing schematic and calculations. The current HWL in Sediment Pond #3 is higher than the HWL of Wetland #2. This needs to be looked at in further detail. Comments per Ken Sherman: 1 . The developer will be responsible for completing the connection between Cottonwood Trail outside of the plat. Revise all sheets to show this. 2. Show the access routes to sediment ponds 1 and 2. Maximum grade for the routes is 100/0 with a 20/0 cross slope. 3. Lots 20-25, Block 5, would require drainage easements across the rear lots with the current proposed contours, per subdivision ordinance. 4. Show access route to sediment pond #3. 5. Realign MH 15A so that the pipe between CB 158 and MH 15A is centered on the easement. 6. The city will look at the service area to the South to see if extra depth and oversizing is needed on the Wilderness Trail sanitary sewer. kmem4 EXHIBIT C INTEROFFICE MEMORANDUM TO: FROM: SUBJECT: DATE: DEB GARROSS, ASSISTANT PLANNING DIRECTOR PAUL BOETTCHER, ACTING ASSISTANT CITY ENGINEER WILDERNESS PONDS (REVISED PLANS) FEBRUARY 21, 1995 Engineering has reviewed the preliminary plat plans received February 15, 1995, which have a revised date of February 10, 1995, for city comments. Most of the items in the engineering staff review memo dated February 15, 1995 have been addressed. Outstanding issues remaining are: 1. Submission of an 111x17" map showing existing drainage boundaries and numbering scheme of the existing conditions. 2. Revisions are needed to show that the developer will be responsible for completing the connection to Cottonwood Trail outside the plat. 3. The city needs to look at the proposed annexation area south of the plat for street and utility extensions along Wilderness Trail and Crimson Court. Any oversizing of sanitary sewer or water and extra depth of sanitary sewer would need to be coordinated with this plat, and the developer reimbursed per city policy. We have attached a sketch showing, in a general sense, what is of concern immediately to the south plat line. P8MEM4.ENG95 16200 Eagle Creek Ave.. Prior Lake. Minnesota 55372-1714 / Ph.

This area has been served with City municipal utilities under Proj. 93-11 and charged the following assessment: Trunk Sewer & Water Charge: 55.3 acres @ 2750.00/acre = $152,075.00 Lateral Sewer & Water Charge: 3428' @ $20.00/FF = $68,560.00 (water) 150' @ $40.00/FF = $6,000.00 (sewer) According to "Exhibit D" of the Contract for Deed for the purchase of the Business Office Park site from the Adelmann Estate, this assessment total of $226,635.00 is deferred until the property is developed or for a period of ten years from August 16, 1993, whichever is earlier. Interest shall accrue at 8% per annum and shall also be subject to the above stated conditions. Since utilities are available to the property site, the cost for the extension of services internally will be the responsibility of the developer. In addition to these improvement costs, the subdivision will be subject to the following City charges outlined below: Stormwater Management Fee Collector Street Fee 16.8 cents/sq. ft. $1500.00/acre The application of these City charges would generate the following costs to the developer based upon a net area lot calculation of 38.54 acres of single family lots (1,678,811 square feet) as provided within the site data summary sheet of the preliminary plat description: Storm Water Management Fee: 1,678,811 sf @ 16.8/sf = $282,040.00 Collector Street Fee: 38.54 acres @ $ 1500.00/ac = $57,810.00 These fees represent an approximate cost of $3650.00 per lot for the 93 proposed lots within Wilderness Ponds Addition. Assuming the initial net lot area of the plat does not change, the above referenced storm water, collector street and deferred lateral and trunk water and sewer charges would be determined and collected within the context of a developer's agreement for the construction of utility improvements at the time of final plat approval. There are no other outstanding special assessments currently certified against the property. Also, the tax status of the property is current with no outstanding delinquencies. SPL02.
