The regulations may include such matters as locations for the operation of these vehicles, hours of operation, use of the vehicles, required permits, equipment standards and enforcement provisions. The hearing is also to determine what type of regulations, if any, should be adopted. HISTORY: In the summer of 1997 and the spring of 1998, the City received several complaints concerning the operation of off-road motorcycles in the area in and near the Titus Addition. The complaints primarily concerned the noise and disturbance caused by this activity. On April 6, 1998, the City Council adopted a moratorium on the operation of motorized recreational vehicles in order to allow the City the opportunity to study the issue. The moratorium is effective for 90 days, or until July 6, 1998, although the City Council has the option of extending the moratorium for up to 18 months. DISCUSSION: Draft #1 (see attached) of the proposed ordinance is the draft sent out for public comment. This draft includes a definition of motorized recreational vehicles, and other pertinent definitions, provisions for the operation of such vehicles, required permits, equipment standards and enforcement provisions. 16200 1:\98fi~es\98ordamd\city\98-044\98044pc.doc Eagle Creek Ave. S.E., Prior Lake, Minnesota 55372-1714 / Ph. (612) 447-4230 / Fax (612) 447-4245 AN EQUAL OPPORTUNITY EMPLOYER This draft defines a motorized recreational vehicle as any "motorized two-, three- or four-wheeled or track, self ~ropelled vehicle designed or used for recreational purposes, including, but not limited to all-terrain vehicles, trail bikes, hovercrafts, motorcycles, and motorized bicycles'; Snowmobiles are not included in this definition since they are regulated under a separate chapter of the City Code. This draft also outlines the location and manner of the operation of these vehicles. Essentially, these regulations do not allow the operation of motorized vehicles on any residentially zoned property less than 10 acres in size, on any public property, in any careless, reckless or negligent manner, or in a manner which creates loud, unnecessary or unusual noise which disturbs, annoys or interferes with the peace and quiet of other persons. The ordinance does allow the operation of motorized recreational vehicles on residentially zoned parcels greater than 10 acres in size with the issuance of a permit, following a public hearing. Even with a permit, however, these vehicles are not allowed within 300 feet of the property boundaries. Law enforcement officers will be primarily responsible for the enforcement of this ordinance. Violation of the ordinance is considered a misdemeanor, punishable for a fine not exceeding $700.00 or by imprisonment for a period not to exceed 90 days, or both. The provisions of the proposed ordinance are similar to the provisions of other motorized recreational vehicle ordinances throughout the State. Many communities have banned the use of these types of vehicles in the City limits altogether. In an effort to tailor these previsions to the city of Prior Lake, we have modified the ordinance as shown in Draft #2 (see attached). We have received some feedback on the proposed ordinance provisions. One of the concerns related to the staff is that the ordinance prohibits the use of all- terrain vehicles even when used for purposes other than recreation. For example, there are some residents who use these vehicles for lawn and garden work. Draft #2 addresses this concern by modifying the definition of a motorized recreational vehicle to eliminate the word "designed" and to limit the scope of the provisions to those vehicles used for recreational purposes. In the operational provisions, we have also inserted a section to state "in a rnannerthat simulates a race or temporary race, or creates or causes unnecessary engine noise, tire squealing, or causes tires to spin or slide upon the acceleration or stopping of said vehicles to unnecessarily tum abruptly or sway from side to side". This provision specifically addresses the issues of racing the vehicles. We have also attempted to clarify exactly where this use is and is not permitted. The provision prohibiting the use of motorized vehicles on residentially zoned property less than 10 acres in size remains the same. We have added a statement allowing the use on agricultural or conservation zoned properties, as long as the use is at least 500' from any property line. We have also included [:\98fiies\98ordamd\city\98-O44\98044pc.doc Page 2 the use on commercially and industrially zoned parcels greater than 10 acres in size, subject to the issuance of a permit and a public hearing. In cases where the operation of the vehicles is permitted, we have increased the distance from the property lines to 500 feet. We have also revised the ordinance to distinguish public property from public streets. Public property typically includes parks, school property and other government owned areas. The operation of motorized recreational vehicles on public rights-of-way is legislated by State Statute provisions pertaining to vehicle condition, licenses, and other traffic laws. Speed limits for these vehicles are also included in the traffic laws. We cannot legislate the speed of the vehicles on private property. Another addition to the ordinance is a reference to the procedure for a public hearing. The procedure for a public hearing will be the same as the conditional use permit process with a hearing before the Planning Commission and review by the City Council. The notification requirements will also include mailed notice to owners of property within 500 feet, and publication in the newspaper. Draft #2 also eliminates the provisions generally covered under State Statutes, such as the requirements for head lights and tail lights, the operation by a minor, and the operation while under the influence of drugs or alcohol. Finally, the enforcement provisions have been revised to include any designated City official, rather than just law enforcement personnel. With these revisions, we have attempted to address some of the concerns we have heard from residents and elected officials. Other concerns may be introduced during the public hearing. ALTERNATIVES: 1. Recommend the Council adopt the proposed ordinance as written, or with changes recommended by the Planning Commission. 2. Recommend the Council deny the proposed amendment. 3. Table or continue discussion of the item for specific purpose. RECOMMENDATION: The staff recommends alternative #1. ACTION REQUIRED: A motion and second recommending approval of the proposed amendments. 1:\98fl[es\98ordamd\city\98-044\98044pc.doc Page 3 REPORT ATTACHMENTS: 1. Draft Ordinance #1 2.

Recently, these complaints have again been made. It is staffs belief that, until an ordinance has been adopted which deals with the issues of motorized recreational vehicle operation in the City, a moratorium on the operation of such vehicles should be enacted while the ordinance is being developed. Moratoriums are permitted under Minnesota Statutes to protect a planning process undertaken by a City intended to develop plans and regulation related to land use issues. While a moratorium can be as long as 18 months with the opportunity to extend it 12 more months, staff believes 90 days is adequate to allow for the development of the ordinance. Since it is intended to be part of the zoning ordinance, the Planning Commission must hold public hearings on the proposed ordinance and make a recommendation to the City Council. The primary issue is where and under what circumstances should motorized recreational vehicles be allowed to operate in the City. These vehicles typically have the capability of operating off-road and, more often than not, that is where the predominant use occurs. Because these vehicles are often muffled or have muffler systems which do not reduce the noise to level of a car, they often incite complaints when operated too near residential property or at inappropriate times, suer as late at night. Because of the number and nature of the complaints which have been received, staff feels the issue needs to be addressed. ALTERNATIVES: I. Adopt ordinance 98-XXas proposed 2.

The application includes a request for a conditional use permit to allow the development of the property with 121 town_house units, and a preliminary plat consisting of 109 lots for the townhouse units and open space. BACKGROUND: In December, 1997, the applicant filed an application for a Schematic Planned Unit Development for a townhouse development on this property. On January 5, 1998, the City Council denied this application based on the fact the proposed Schematic PUD Plan was inconsistent with the stated purposes and intent of the PUD section of the Zoning Ord'mance in that the same proposal, with the exception of the private streets, could be accomplished through the Conditional Use Permit Process. The developer then filed an application for a zone change, a conditional use permit and a preliminary plat. These applications were considered by the Planning Commission on February 23, 1998, and by the City Council on March 16, 1998. On March 16, 1998, the Council approved the zone change to the R-2 (Urban Residential) District, and the preliminary plat. On April 20, 1998, the Council approved the conditional use permit. Following these approvals, the developer applied for and received grading permits to begin grading the property. The developer also applied for approval of a final plat. Shortly thereafter, it was brought to the staff's attention that not all owners of property within 500' of the site had been notified. The error in notification was due to the fact that the developer's title company had submitted an incomplete list of names. This list was 1 1:\9 fi \98 ub iv\ I \gl vgat2 I 2pc e 6200 Eagle~ ~;~rXe~ ~v~r~.~., l~or~e, [~mnesota 55372-1714 / Ph. (612) 447-4230 / Fax (61~1~7-4245 AN EQUAL OPPORTUNITY EMPLOYER not verified by the staff, and so proper notification was not given to adjacent property owners. On June 1, 1998, this issue was reviewed by the City Council. Upon advice from the City Attorney, the Council noted the zone change was valid since individual notices are not required for rezoning of more than 5 acres. However, the Council adopted Resolution 98-68, rescinding the approval of the conditional use permit and preliminary plat due to improper notificati.on. Because the previous approvals have been rescinded, the public review process of the preliminary plat and conditional use permit applications is starting over. The Planning Commission is considering two applications at this time. The first application is to approve a Conditional Use Permit for this project. The second request is for approval of a preliminary plat for this site, to be known as Glynwater. Each of these applications is discussed in detail below. PHYSICAL SITE CHARACTERISTICS: Total Site Area: The total CLIp area (less the CSAH 82 right-of-way) consists of 41.57 acres. The net area of this site, less wetlands, is 32.12 acres. Tooograohv: This site has a varied topography, with elevations ranging from 970' MSL at its highest point to 910' MSL at the lowest point. The site generally drains towards the wetlands located along the easterly portion of the site, the southerly portion and the center of the site. There are also steep slopes, or slopes in excess of 20%, located on this site. These slopes are generally located on the eastern half of the site. There are several areas in which the steep slopes will be disturbed by the placement ofbnilding pads and utilities. Information submitted by the developer indicates 5.33 acres of the site are considered steep slopes. Of this 5.33 acres, 1.64 acres, or 4% of the entire site, will be disturbed for site grading and the installation of sanitary sewer lines. Vegetation: This vegetation on this site consists of vacant cropland. The eastern and southern boundaries of the property are wooded, as is the area adjacent to the wetlands. The project is subject to the Tree Preservation requirements of the Zoning Ordinance. The applicant has submitted an inventory of the significant trees on the site which indicates a total of 203 caliper inches of significant trees. Based on the development plan, 29% of the caliper inches will be removed for grading and utilities, and 5% will be removed for building pads. The development will require replacement of 4,38 caliper inches. Wetlands: There are three wetlands located within this site, with a total area of 9.45 acres. The wetlands are located in the southeast comer of the site, along the southern boundary of the site, and in the center of the site. The plans indicate only a small area of wetlands will be filled to allow a road connection. This site is subject to the wetland mitigation requirements. 1:\98files\98subdiv\preplat\glynwat2\glyn2p¢.doc Page 2 Access: Access to the site is from CSAH 82, on the north. CSAH 82 is identified as a Minor Arterial street in the 2010 Comprehensive Plan. The County Engineer has noted an access permit will be required for each opening onto CSAH 82. The plan also proposed a "fight-in/right-out" access onto Fremont Avenue, with a median in Fremont to prevent left tums. PROPOSEDPLAN 2010 Comprehensive Plan Designation: This property is designated for Urban Low to Medium Density Residential uses on the 2010 Comprehensive Plan Land Use Map. The easterly portion of the property is located within the 2010 MUSA boundary. The westerly portion of the property is still outside of the MUSA. Zoning: The property is zoned R-2 (Urban Residential), which is consistent with the Comprehensive Plan designation, The R-2 district permits townhouse developments as a conditional use, with a density not to exceed 5.5 units per acre. Density:, The plan proposes 121 units on a total of 41.57 acres. Density is based on the buildable acres of the site, or in this case on 32.12 net acres. The overall density proposed in this plan is 3.7 units per acre, which is within the permitted density of 5.5 units per acre. Lots: The preliminary plat consists of 109 lots for the townhouse units and open space. There are 103 lots for the buildings, and 6 lots for common open space. The plat also includes parkland, and 6 outlots intended for the placement of development signs. Building Styles: The proposed plan calls for a townhouse style development consisting of 2-, 3-, 4-, 5- and 6-unit buildings. Sample floor plans of these buildings are attached to this report. There are 18 2-unit buildings, 2 3-unit buildings, 17 4-unit buildings, and 1 each of the 5- and 6-unit buildings. Each of the buildings is designed with an attached garage. Setbacks: The plan proposes a 25' setback from the front property line, and the side street lot line, a 25' rear yard setback from any common lot line, and a minimum 20' separation between the buildings. This is consistent with conventional setbacks. Lot Coverage: The R-2 district allows a maximum lot coverage of 20% for a townhouse PUD. The proposed plan indicates a lot coverage of approximately 14%, which is consistent with the proposed plan. Streets: This plan proposes 4 new public streets. The major street, named Glynwater Trail, starts on the east side of the site, directly opposite Wilds Parkway, loops through the site for 2,650' and exits back onto CSAH 82. This street is designed with a 55' wide fight-of-way and a 32' wide surface. The second street, Bay Knolls Drive, is located on the east side of the site, and extends 625' from Glynwater Trail to Fremont Avenue. This street is designed with a 50' wide fight-of-way and a 32' wide surface. The third new 1:\98files\98subdiv\preplat\glynwat2\glyn2pc.doc Page 3 street is a 600' long cul-de-sac identified as Spring Glen Circle. This street is located on the east portion of the site, and on the west side of Glynwater Trail. It is designed with a 50' wide right-of-way and a 32' wide surface. Finally, there is a 130' long stub street located on the west portion of the site which provides future access to the property to the west. This street is identified as Brookside Lane and is designed as a 50' wide right-of- way and a 32' wide surface. The plat also proposes some improvements to the north end of Fremont Avenue. This improvements include a median, to restrict turning movements onto Fremont Avenue, and curb and gutter. Sidewalks/Trails: There is a sidewalk located along the north end of Glynwater Trail from CSAH 82 to the park trail on the east, and from CSAH 82 to Brookside Lane on the west. A sidewalk is also proposed along the north side of Bay Knolls Drive from Fremont Avenue to Glynwater Trail. The plan also identifies a pedestrian trail starting at CSAH 82, winding through the proposed park, and connecting to the 16.5 foot wide access owned by the City on the west boundary of this site. The City has also requested the developer grade an area for a future sidewalk on Fremont Avenue, adjacent to this site. Parks: This plan identifies a park along the south boundary of the property. The total park site is 11.91 acres; however, much of the area consists of wetlands and ponds and steep slopes. The parkland dedication requirements for this site is 4.2 acres, consisting of dry upland with undisturbed soils. Of the land area to be dedicated, 2.5 acres qualifies for parkland dedication. The developer will be required to dedicate cash in lieu of land for the remaining dedication requirements. Sanitary Sewer: The plan proposes the extension of an 8" sanitary sewer line from the existing line located on the north side of CSAH 82 at Fremont Avenue. The development will actually be served by parallel sewer lines. The main sewer line is located in Glynwater Trail on the west side of the site, to the park, and then runs through the park behind the townhouse units to Fremont Avenue. The second line is located on the east side of Glynwater Trail and flows from Spring Glen Cimle west to the park, where it connects to the main sewer line. The reason for this parallel design is the fact that a single line would have to be about 45' deep in some locations. At this depth, it is more cost effective to mn the parallel lines. Maintenance of a 45' deep sewer line is also difficult and expensive. Water Main: The plan proposes to extend an 8" water line from the existing service located in CSAH 82, down Glynwater and the other road right-of-ways to serve the units. There will be 4 service lines extended from the main in CSAH 82 to serve the units along Bay Knolls Drive. Storm Sewer: The plan proposes three NURP ponds, one located on the east side of the site, just south and west of the Spring Glen Circle cul-de-sac, one located on the west side of the site, just south and east of Bmokside Lane, and the third located on the east side of Glynwater Trail, south of the townhouses adjacent to Bay Knolls Drive. Storm water 1:\98files\98subdiv\preplat\glynwat2~glyn2pc.doc Page 4 runoff is directed to these ponds through a series of catch basins and storm sewer located in the Glynwater Trail, Bay KnDlls Road and Brookside Lane. Landscal~in~/Tree Replacement: The developer has submitted a landscaping plan which identifies a total of 206 new trees on the site. Most of the trees will be located in fi'ont of the units along the new road right-of-way. The plan also identifies several plantings and a berm adjacent to CSAH 82 to provide screening from the road. Finally, the plan identifies the two replacement trees required as part of the tree preservation plan. Si~nage: This proposal identifies 6 development signs. The Zoning Ordinance allows 2 freestanding subdivision identification signs at each principal entrance. The signs may not exceed 50 square feet in area, with a maximum of 2 sides. This development consists of 3 separate association, so it is reasonable to allow a total of 6 development signs. The signs are within the allowable area. Phasing: Since not all of this site is located within the present MUSA, the development will be phased accordingly. The first phase will be that portion within the MUSA, and includes 82 units. There will be a temporary turnaround located at the westerly end of Glynwater Trail until the remaining area is added to the MUSA and is developed. ANALYSIS: Preliminary Plat: The preliminary plat for this site, known as Glynwater, consists of 42.04 acres to be subdivided into 109 lots, parkland and 6 outlots. In general, the proposed preliminary plat meets the standards of the Subdivision Ordinance and Zoning Ordinance. Since this has been through the process once akeady, all of the engineering requirements have been addressed. One of the outstanding issues which must be addressed is the disturbance of the slopes on this site. Section 6-6-6 E of the Subdivision Ordinance states "whenever possible, slopes of twenty percent (20°4) or greater should not be disturbed and should be retained as private or public open space." This plat has several locations in which slopes of 20% or greater are disturbed, either for the placement of roads and utilities or the placement of homes. As mentioned earlier, information submitted by the developer indicates 5.33 acres of the site are considered steep slopes. Of this 5.33 acres, 1.64 acres, or 4% of the entire site, will be disturbed for site grading and the installation of sanitary sewer lines. It appears the only way to avoid theses slopes is to eliminate buildings and to relocate some of the utility lines to avoid the slopes. In its recommendation to the Council, the Planning Commission should address the impact of the development on the natural features of the site. Conditional Use Permit Plan: The proposed CLIP must be reviewed in accordance with the criteria found in Section 7.5(C) of the Zoning Ordinance. Section 7.5(C) provides that a conditional use shall be approved if it is found to meet specific criteria. These criteria and the staff analysis of compliance with these criteria are set forth below. 1. The proposed use conforms to the district permitted and conditional use provisions and all general regulations of this Ordinance. l:\98files\98subdiv\preplat\glynwat2\glyn2pc.doc Page 5 The proposed use is consistent with the conditional use provisions for the R-2 Multiple Residential zoning district and conforms to all general regulations of the Zoning Ordinance (upon satisfaction of conditions). The proposed use shall not involve any element or cause any conditions that may be dangerous, injurious, or noxious to any other property or persons, shall comply with the performance standards listed below. The proposed development is designed to provide safe access to adjacent roads, and is adequately screened fi.om adjacent properties. A traffic analysis submitted by the developer indicates the development will generate approximately 5.86 trips per unit, or a total of 710 trips per day. The majority of these trips will be on CR 83. The study indicates the development will add 15 trips per day to Fremont Avenue. 3. The proposed use shall be sited, oriented and landscaped to produce harmonious relationship of buildings and grounds adjacent to buildings and properties. The landscaping plan submitted with this proposal meets the provisions of the ordinance. Additional landscaping is provided to screen the development from CSAH 82. 4. The proposed use shall produce a total visual impression and environment which is consistent with the environment of the neighborhood. The size and types of buildings proposed are similar to the townhouse development in The Wilds. The development is also separated fi.om the adjacent single family development by a park and a large wetland. The 6-unit townhouses are adjacent to CR 83, and are not directly adjacent to any single family lots. 5. The proposed use shall organize vehicular access and parking to minimize traffic congestion within the neighborhood. The plan provides at least 2 parking spaces for each unit. In addition, in order to minimize traffic onto Fremont, the access is defined as a "fight-in/right-out" mm, with a median. 6. The proposed use shall preserve the objectives of this Ordinance and shall be consistent with the Comprehensive Plan. The proposed plan is consistent with the Comprehensive Plan designation and the provisions of the R-2 district. The performance standards are set forth in Section 7.5(D) and relate to the following factors; 1:\98 files\98subdiv\preplat\glynwat2\glyn2pc.doe Page 6 · Fire protection · Electrical dism. rbance · Noise · Vibrations · Odors · Air pollution · Glare · Erosion · Water pollution. The proposed project is not expected to result in any of the nuisance factors set forth in the performance standards and is thus consistent with these standards. PLANNING COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION: At this time, the Planning Commission should make a recommendation on the proposed zone change request, the Preliminary Plat and the Conditional Use Permit. If the Preliminary Plat is to proceed, it should be subject to the following conditions: 1. A letter of credit for the landscaping and tree replacement must be submitted prior to approval of the final plat documents. 2. The homeowner's association documents must be revised to include the correct legal descriptions for each association. These documents must be recorded with the final plat documents. If the Conditional Use Permit is approved it should be subject to the following conditions: 1. /1 letter of credit for the landscaping and tree replacement must be submitted prior to approval of the final plat documents. 2. The homeowner's association documents must be revised to include the correct legal descriptions for each association. These dacuments must be recorded with the final plat documents. ALTERNATIVES: 1. Recommend approval of the Preliminary Plat subject to the above listed conditions, and the Conditional Use Permit subject to the above listed condition. 2. Recommend denial of the request. 3. Other specific action as directed by the Planning Commission RECOMMENDATION: The Planning staff recommends Altemative 1. 1:\98files\98subdiv\preplafiglynwat2\glyn2pc.doc Page 7 ACTION REQUIRED: Since this request includes two separate applications, separate motions are required for each application. These include; A motion and second to recommend approval of the Preliminary Plat to be known as Glynwater, subject to the conditions listed in this report. A motion and second to recommend approval of the Conditional Use Permit, subject to the conditions listed in this staff report. EXHIBITS: 1. Location Map 2.

Enclosed with this application is a rezoning application to R-2 which is consistent with Prior Lake's current comprehensive plan designation. 2-Building Styles The proposed development consists of three building styles (See attached floor plans). Townhomes (split entry), Twin homes and Coach homes. Prices will range from $115,000-$350,000 with the average approx. $180,000. 3-Density The proposed development has 122 units on 41.57 acres. Densities are within the allowable limits for R-2 zoning and are also within densities in the governing shoreline districts that apply. 4- Design Features The site maximizes the use of the land away from the shorelines. Public streets service the site and a proposed trail system winds through the entire development. Developer will be dedicating approx. 11.69 as parkland of wkich 4.95 acres are usable and the balance wetlands and ponds. The developer does not plan to construct the trail system as part of this development it is shown for schematic reference only. The trail would be constructed separately as a Park & Recreation Dept. project. 5- Architecture Building designs have been created to maximize the natural terrain. Extensive landscaping along Co. 82 and a brick & wrought iron fence will accentuate the development. A community entry monument is planned just offthe main Co. 82 entrance. The proposed trail system will provide enjo,vment for passive recreation. Side wail are proposed only at the Co. 82 entrances until they meet with the proposed trail system. 6-Covenants Protective covenants for the three town_home communities will be filed to provide continuity and control over the esthetics of the communities. Proposed documents are enclosed for city review and approval. 7-Utilities The development will be serviced with underground utilities. Gas meters will be located on the fronts on the homes with electrical services in the rear. The Townhomes and Twin homes will have individual water services and the coach homes will have one service per building. Engineering Project Summary for Glynwater in Prior Lake I. Description of Project The site is approximately 45 acres located south of Scott County Road 82 and west of Fremont Avenue. in the City of Prior Lake. The subject site is in the NE 1/4, SW 1/4 of Section 34, Township 115, Range 22, Scott County, Minnesota. The proposed project includes the grading, utility and street construction for 122 single family townhomes, and condominiums. The grading for the site will occur at one time with the streets and utilities constructed in two phases. The first phase is the eastern portion of the site up to the existing MUSA line to the west. The second phase will be the remainder of the site once it is brought within the City of Prior Lakes MUSA boundary. II. Project Manager The project manager and project engineer shall be responsible for various aspects of the construction and are as follows: Project Manager Terry Wensmann/~ll,. Wensmaun Realty &.~.C.' 3312 15ff Street West Rosemount, Mn 55068 423~1179 Proiect Engineer Nicholas Polta Pioneer Engineering 2422 Enterprise Drive Mendota Heights, Mn 55124 681-1914 III. E,,dst~g Site Conditions The site is currently undeveloped. The northern portion of the site is primarily cultivated cropland and upland forest. The sothern portion of the site is upland and lowland forest, wet meadow and shallow marsh. The southern parcel boundary follows a watercourse (seasonal flooded creek) that flows east connecting the two large basin portions of Wetland A with Prior Lake. A second basin ( Wetland B ) drains south into the western portion of Wetland A. Much of the site shows signs of disturbance particularily in the cultivated upland areas. The surrounding land uses are residential to the south, east, and northeast. North and west are in agricultural uses. IV. Soils and Slopes The United States Department of Agricultures Soil Survey identifies the onsite soils are primarily Hayden Series these soils are described as good for embankment and foundations. The lowlands and wetlands contain peat and Glencoe series soils that are not suitable for construction, these areas will be avoided during construction. Comprehensive soil testing was performed onsite by Maxim Technologies (report inclosed), there analysis substantiates the suitability of the onsite soils for the construction purposes of the development. Topsoil will be stripped and stockpiled onsite to provide for six (6) inches of repsread across all turf areas after completed grading. The site has 5.33 acres of slopes in excess of 20 percent (%). These slopes are clustered near the wetlands and appear to have been disturbed or created during the construction of Co, Rd. 82 and Fremont Avenue. The construction of the project will disturb 1.64 acres (30.69%) of these slopes. Approximately 0.73 acres of this disturbance will occur in excavation areas ( where the slopes are flattened at the top for the construction of streets and building pads, matching back in further down the slope), these areas pose little concern in construction as long as the underlying soils are suitable for construction. During construction a geotechnical engineer will be onsite inspecting soil conditions and providing analysis of the soils. The remaining 0.91 acres of disturbed slopes are in embankment areas. In these areas unsuitable slope material will be removed and replaced with soils that can bear the load of streets and building footings. The embankment will be 'keyed' into the existing slopes and built up in layers to prevent embankment slipping over the existing slopes causing failure. This is standard construction practise and is further outlined in the Soils Report prepared by Maxim technologies. V. Erosion Control Measures Approved best management practices (BMP) of the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency (MPCA) as stipulated in Protecting Water Quality in Urban Areas shall be followed. These include but are not limited to the following: Ail denuded and stockpile areas shall not have a slope greater than 3: I All disturbed area shall receive temporary seed, mulch and disc anchoring if no significant grading is to occur for 30 days. All finished grade area shall be seeded mulched and anchored within 14 days after complete grading. A seed mixture designed for the soil characteristics and area plantings shall be approved by rke C[c;,' A separate cool seed mixture will be designed for dormant seed planting in the fall. Peak Discharge from all storm sewers shall not exceed the original peak discharge from the watershed. All storm sewer outlets shall have rip rap outlets designed to City Standards. All Storm Sewer outlets shall not have discharges greater than 4 feet per second. Gravel construction entrances and a street sweeping program shall be used to ensure minimal soil is removed from the site. Inlet protection for storm sewer shall be implemented until streets are paved and turf is established. Erosion control fences shall be installed around all wetlands and water quality ponds until area plantings have been established. At which time the erosion control fence shall be moved to the edge of the structure setback. Water quality ponds will be used as temporary sedimentation basin during construction. The grading contractor is responsible for maintaining drainage to the ponds and between the ponds and wetlands, by the use of perforated stand pipes. VII. Storm Water Management The purpose of storm water managemen: is to insure that the proposed development will not create adverse conditions, in the form of increased nutrient load or increased peak flows down stream of the proposed project. To assess that impact of the project on the existing drainage area a preliminary storm water model (HydroCAD) is utilized to approximate the existing and proposed peak flows generated for the site. The Walker PondSiz model created the criteria for the wet detention volume necessary to treat storm water from this development. These models are summarized below in Table 1. VIII. Wetland Delineation Peterson Environmental Consulting, Inc. have prepared a detailed Wetland Delineation Plan for the subject property. IX. Traffic Control The contractor is responsible to provide to the City of Prior Lake and the Scott County Highway Department a detailed traffic control/sign plan for construction of turn lanes on Co. Rd. 82 and Fremor.: Avenue. XI.

The property in question is located along the east boundary of the existing Windsong on the Lake Development, immediately adjacent to Prior Lake at the southerly end of Edinborough Street. BACKGROUND: On February 23, 1998, the Planning Commission considered an application to amend the Windsong on the Lake PUD Plan to add this property, less the existing home site, to the PUD Plan. The purpose of the amendment was to gain additional lake shorn, which would then allow 11 additional boat slips. At the same time, the Pla~ing Commission considered a preliminary plat for this site. The preliminary plat included 1 lot for the existing dwelling, and two outlots. A portion of the site was also to be added to Lot 2, Block 1, Windsong on the Lake Addition. The outlots would have become part of the common open space for the Windsong on the Lake development. The Planning Commission approved the PUD Plan amendment and preliminary plat on April 13, 1998. A condition of approval required that the homeowner's association documents for the development be amended to include the new area. The developer requested that the item be delayed until he was able to obtain the necessary approvals. This proposal differs from the original proposal in that it does not include any of the land in the existing Windsong on the Lake development. The preliminary plat includes 1.62 acres to be subdivided into 1 lot for the existing single family dwelling, and 3 outlots. PHYSICAL SITE CHARACTERISTICS: Total Site Area: The preliminary plat consists of 1.62 acres to be subdivided into 1 lot for the existing dwelling and 3 outlots. 1:\98files\98subdiv\preDlat\windsong\wind2pe.doc Page 1 16200 Ea§le Creek Ave. S.E., Prior Lake, Minnesota 55372-1714 / Ph. (612) 447-4230 / Fax (612) 447-4245 AN EQUAL OPPORTUNITY EMPLOYER Proposed Lots: Tl~e single family lot is 24, 212 square feet in area. Outlot A includes 21,482 square feet, Outlot B includes 14,903 square feet and Outlot C includes 10,137 square feet. All of the lots include at least 75' of frontage at the Ordinary High Water elevation. Outlot B will be sold to the owner of the adjacent property (Lot 2, Block 1, Windsong on the Lake). In the original plan, Outlot A and C were to be added to the PUD common space. In his narrative, the developer has not indicated his plans for these outlots if they are not included in the PUD. Topoeranh¥: The site of the existing house is relatively level. However, the remaining site is primarily steep slopes and bluffs, with elevations fi.om 904' MSL to 940' MSL. There is no grading proposed as part of this plan. Vegetation: This area is wooded, with the exception of the existing home site. Since no grading or land disturbing activity is proposed, a tree inventory has not been prepared. Wetlands:. There are no existing wetlands on this site. Access: Access to the existing home is from Edinborough Street. There is no separate access to the outlots; access is proposed f~om adjacent lots. ANALYSIS: Preliminary Plat: The preliminary plat does not create any additional buildable lots. Lot 1, Block 1, the site of the existing dwelling, meets all minimum lot area and width requirements. There is no public fight-of-way or parkland dedicated in this plat. In addition, there are no require or proposed utilities, including sanitary sewer, water mains, or storm sewer proposed. The existing house already has these services available, and there is no need to provide these services to the outlots. Since no utility improvements are required, no fees will be collected. However, a park land dedication fee will be collected for the final plat. The outstanding issue in this plat is the status of the outlots. Without the PUD amendment, there is no guarantee the outlots will be included as part of the common open space. With the exception of Outlot B, the developer has not provided any future plans for these outlots, including ownership and maintenance. Outlot C does not have any access other than through adjacent lots. This issue must be discussed and resolved prior to approval of the plat. Another issue concems the existing encroachmems on the outlots. According to the preliminary plat documents, there is a stairway providing access to the lakeshore across both Outlot A and B. In addition, there appears to be a shed located on Outlot C. These encroachments must either be removed or addressed prior to final plat approval. The preliminary plat is generally consistent with the Subdivision and Zoning Ordinance requirements. If the Preliminary Plat is to proceed, it should be subject to the following conditions: k\98files\98subdiv\preplat\windsons\wind2pc.doe Page 2 1. The developer must address the ownership and maintenance of each of the outlots. In addition, future access to Outlot C must be addressed. 2. The encroachments on Outlots A, B and C must be addressed. These structures should be removed, or their use addressed. ALTERNATIVES: 1. Recommend approval of the Preliminary Plat subject to the above listed conditions. 2. Recommend denial of the request. 3.

Prelirninary PlatJSubdivision review and approval. Final Plat review and approval. Please refer to the Developer's narrative dated January 30, 1998; a copy of which is attached.. Our original application, made on or about January 30. 1998, was for the subdivision of the property formerly owned by John and Jolene Schdcker as Windsong on the Lake, 3"~ Addition and the amendment of the Windsong on the Lake PUD to add all of Windsong on the Lake, 3rd Addition, except the parcel with the former Schricker home on it, into the Windsong PUD. Planning Commission approval was obtained on April 13, 1998. The developer has agreements to sell the parcel containing the 5ingle family residence and 140 feet of lake frontage (Lot 1, Block 1, Windsong 3rd) and the "Metzger parcel" (Outlot B, Windsong 3~" in the revised subroission). The objective of this plat amendment is to separate the subdivision of the property and the PUO Amendment into two separate steps. Completion of the subdivision will permit the developer to close on existing purchase agreeroents. The PUD Amendment requires a 90% consent by present Wind$ong homeowners and will be required to obtain the permit for additional boat slips, the original objective of this project. The developer is in the process of obtaining those consents; however, it is possible that some delay will be experienced in obtaining the last few consents. The original subdivision plan incorporated Lot 2, BIock 1, Windsong on the Lake, into Windsong on the Lake 3rd Addition as par[ of Lot 1, Block 2, Windsong on the Lake, Third Aqdition. The parcels of Windsong on the Lake 3rd Addition under that development plan were: Lot 1, Block 1, containing 140 feet of lake frontage and the existing single-family home: Lot 1, Block 2, a combination of a parcel with 75 feet of lake frontage and the former Lo[ 2, Block 1 Windsong on the Lake; Outlot A, containing 95 feet of lake frontage and Outlot B, containing 75 )'eet of lake frontage The revised plan will contain the following parcels: Lot 1. Block 1, containing the existing single-family former Schricker home (unchanged froro the former plan); Outlot A, containing 95 feet of lake frontage Outlot B, containing 75 feet of lake frontage and. adjacent to Lot 2, Block 1 Windsong on the Lake Outlot C (forroerly Outlot B), containing 75 feet of lake frontage The sole change made by this amendment to our original application is to not include Lot 2, block Windsong on the Lake in Windsong on the Lake 3~ Addition. 02 =5/21/1998 14:58 6128840998 RALPH HEU$CHELE ATTY PAGE 03 1/30/9B Windsong on the lake Third Addition Prior Lake, MN Proposed by H & H Land Development REOUESTS I. P.U.D. Amendment 2. Preliminary Plat/Subdivision review and approval. 3. Final Plat review and approval. ,PROPOSAL In 1983, the original 33.36 acre Windsong on the lake P.U.D. was approved by the City of Prior Lake. It consisted of 26 single family detached home sites, a private equestrian club (8_+ acres) and private recreation areas (3.55_+ acres) including tennis, trails, docks, beach, shelter building, otc_ The private recreation areas have been built and most of the original lots sold. The P.U.D. ,,vas amended in 1987 by eliminating the 8_+ acre equestrian club and substituting t2 single family detached lots. Of these, 7 lots were developed in 1995 and 5 remain for a future final plat addition (subject to market demand and Co. Rd. 21 construction). The current proposal is to add an additional 1.53 acres (J'ohn and 3olene Schricker residence - 15371 Edinborough Avenue) into the project, amend the P.U.D. and resubdivide the property. The resubdivision would include the 0.45 acre Daniel Metzger residence (4130 Windsong Circle) bringing the total site to 2.08 acres. The subdivision would: I, Create a new 0.56 acre parcel (Lot 1, Block 1) for the. existing Schricker residence maintaining tiao same usable area as existing and providing 140 feet of lakeshore frontage. Thins residence would maintain its access from Edinborough Avenue. Since this lot is isolated from other lots within the project, it is not going to be included in the Windsong P.U.D.. It will just be part of the subdivislon/plat process. 2. Enlarge the existing Metzger parcel to include a portion of the Schricker property to create a new 0.77 acre parcel (Lot 1, Block 2) that has a 75' lakeshore frontage. The existing residence would remain. The additional land provides visual lake access for the land owner. The P.U.D. will limit boat dockage to the common dock area maintained by the homeowners association. 3, Provide 2 parcels (Outlot A 0.57 acres and Outlot B 0.18 acres-total 0.75 acres) that will be incorporated into the common private open space area of the P.U.D.. No improvements are planned at this time for these areas. This brings the total P.U.D. ' open space to 4.3+ acres to provide 13% park area wkhin the 33_+ acre overall P.U.D. (total P.U.D. area excludes the 1.3 acre Hennen residence from the original P.U.D. and the existing 0.56 acre Schricker residence form this proposal). This proposal involves only an amendment to the P.U.D, and land subdivision. All public improvements (street, utilities, etc.) are already in place. No site grading or other improvements are proposed and therefore existing tree cover will remain undisturbed. All boat slips within the ?.U.D. will be through common dockage controlled by the homeowners association and covenants and will be based solely from the existing Outtot C in Windsong on the Lake or OutIot B, Windsong on the Lake Third Addition. The additional land provides 385' of lakeshore frontSge. Of this, la0 feet will remain with the existing Schricker parcel and 75 feet will be added to the Metzser parcel. This leaves a net 170' oflakeshore which will allow an additional l 5 boat slips. Proposed Outlot A of'the third addition will have conservation easements based on review with the Mn DNR,
