Lake Ridge Apartments LLC has ap- plied for approval of a major amendment to the Planned Unit Development (PUD) known as Shepherd’s Path. The area of consideration for the major PUD Amendment applies to an undeveloped 10.5-acre parcel (Outlot A) located north of CSAH 42 and west of McKenna Road. The applicant will also submit a Final Plat to the City Council to create a lot versus outlot for this property. History The original Planned Unit Development Plan for Shepherd’s Path was approved by the City Council on 12/05/05 for the Preliminary Plan and on 6/26/06 for the Final Plan. The Final Plan is shown in Attachment #1, which shows a mixed- use development with a church, YMCA senior housing, commercial, youth cen- ter, public park, and a private soccer dome/hockey rink. Approximately 35% of the planned 443 senior housing units have been completed, as well as the church, YMCA and youth center. Current Circumstances Subsection 1106.711 of the Zoning Ordinance addresses amendments to an approved PUD, which are classified as either minor or major. In this case, add- ing more housing units classifies this as a major PUD amendment; such amend- ments must be reviewed by the Planning Commission with a public hearing, fol- lowed by approval by the City Council. Changes to the Final PUD Plan is shown in more detail in Attachment #1, but summarized below for Outlot A, a 10.5-acre parcel: PUD Land Use Approved Amended Outlot A – Soccer Dome 96,000 Sq Ft XXX Outlot A – Hockey Rink 60,000 Sq Ft XXX Outlot A – Apartment Bldg. XXX 151 units The approved PUD shows 443 multifamily housing units, so this amendment will increase that to 594 total units. Presbyterian Homes is the developer/owner of the existing and future housing units; they own Outlot F for future multifamily housing development. 2 As shown in Attachment #3, this parcel is guided for Urban High Density (R-HD) Residential in the 2030 Comprehensive Land Use Plan. Therefore, this pro- posed multifamily housing project follows the Comprehensive Plan with an esti- mated net density of 16.4 units per acre (9.2 net acres). The R-HD land use district establishes a density range from 7.1 - 20.0 dwelling units per acre. The parcel is zoned PUD. The 151-unit apartment project plans are provided in Attachments #4 and #5, which shows a 3-story building with underground parking. The original plans submitted to the city showed its main entrance facing north, but that has been shifted to the south to orient more of the lights, noise and activity away from existing single family residential (SMSC) to the north. A summary of the multi- family housing project is as follows: 1. Total gross site area = 10.47 acres 2. Outlot for wetland = 1.28 acres 3. Total net site area = 9.19 acres 4. Total green space, including wetland = 7.08 acres (67.6%) 5. Building size (footprint) = 63,650 square feet 6. Units = 14 Studio; 50 1-bedroom; 75 2-bedroom; 12 2-bedroom+den 7. Housing net density = 16.4 units per acre (R-HD range = 7.1 – 20.0) 8. Parking = 151 underground; 140 surface; 33 detached garages; total parking spaces = 324 at a 2.15 per unit ratio Conclusion The impact of the amended PUD Plan is to add more housing units into this 71- acre mixed use development. The whole area was previously guided from high density residential development and later amended to include two parcels guided for commercial (Outlots B and D). Therefore, amending the PUD Plan to remove the recreational uses of a soccer dome and hockey rink is still in com- pliance with the city’s land use plan. The recently completed Maxfield Housing Needs Assessment for Scott County shows a market demand of 698 multifamily market rate rental units between 2017 and 2040 in Prior Lake. That figure is nearly 64% of the total rental housing demand during that 24-year period, with the remainder being associated with some level of rent subsidy program. This project will provide a mix of apartment units on three floors, including studio (513 SF), 1-bedroom (712 SF), 2-bedroom (1,055 SF), and 2-bedroom plus (1,134 SF) units. The monthly market rents for these units will range from $1,000 to $1,950. Amenities include a fitness room, sauna, lounge, party room and outdoor patio/gazebo. No pool is being planned due the YMCA nearby. Staff recommends the following conditions with this Final PUD Plan approval: 1. The final project development plans shall be subject to the full site plan re- view process as identified in Subsection 1108.900 of the Zoning Ordinance. 2. The existing sidewalk on the west side of McKenna Road, southerly of its intersection with North Berens Road, should be extended to CSAH 42. ISSUES: A PUD offers flexibility in many areas, some of which include such aspects as setbacks, building heights, and densities. However, this apartment project fits within the normal criteria of a R-3 High Density Residential District, including maximum height of 4 stories, building setbacks, parking ratios, and net housing density. 3 The primary issue is whether additional multifamily housing units is a positive change to the approved PUD, which previously had a recreational use desig- nated for Outlot A. The city benefits from additional multifamily housing units that serve the needs of a (non-senior, general occupancy) population looking for rental options. All other housing units that have been approved in this PUD are targeted to the senior population. A market rate complex with amenities has not been constructed in Prior Lake in over ten years. This location will be a benefit to employees working in various businesses within Prior Lake, Shakopee and Savage. ALTERNATIVES: 1. Motion and a second to recommend approval of an amendment to the Shep- herd’s Path Final PUD Plan related to Outlot A to include a 150-unit apart- ment project in place of a soccer dome and hockey rink. 2. Motion and a second to table this item to another Planning Commission meeting and provide staff/developer with further direction. 3. Motion and a second to recommend denial of the PUD amendment applica- tion based on findings of fact. RECOMMENDED MOTIONS: Alternative #1 ATTACHMENTS: 1.

MN 55372 Re: Lake Ridge Apartments, Application - revised Please accept our application for a Major Planned Unit Development Amendment and Final Plat. General Description: The proposed project consists of a new 151 unit market rate apartment building with 151 underground parking stalls. The center of the proposed building will have a large main entrance with an open atrium with views all the way through the building. Traffic: A Traffic Study completed by SRF in 2006 and last updated in March 2008 includes the Shepherd’s Path development. The report recommended a traffic signal at the intersection of CSAH 42/New McKenna Road. The signal is constructed and was designed to include the development of this parcel. The concept plans used on this parcel for future development shows a large activity center with a 270-car parking lot. The proposed traffic volumes for this project will have a significantly smaller peak-traffic demand than what was planned. Wetlands: A wetland delineation was completed by Pinnacle Engineering in 2000 for Shepard’s Path development and includes this parcel. Another delineation report was completed by Applies Environmental Services LLC in 2004 for the McKenna Road project. This parcel has a delineated wetland to the south end of the property and an easement was created to help protect it. The report recommends a thirty-foot buffer to protect the wetland. This project will not encroach into the 30’ wetland setback, a minimum of 50’ setback shall be used on this project in order to ensure protection of the wetland. Storm Water: Sunde Engineering completed a storm water study hydraulic analysis for the Shepherds Path development, which includes the existing conditions and proposed water volume flow conditions and the development of this parcel. The study also references work completed by Halling Engineering. The assumptions used in the report for this parcel was 65 percent impervious surface development and with that analysis the storm sewer system and ponds are constructed to serve this property. The concept plans used on this parcel for future development shows a large activity center with a 270 car parking lot. The proposed project has 34.0 percent impervious surface, much lower than the 65 percent impervious surface used and thus will have less runoff than what was anticipated in the storm sewer system design. The storm water system design shall meet all the requirements of the MnPCA, must obtain a MnPCA Storm Water NPDES Permit and be approved by the city engineer. Sanitary Sewer and Water: Sanitary Sewer and Water are constructed in the McKenna Road Right of way, are stubbed to the property and sized adequately to serve the property. Hydrant test data completed by Viking Automatic Sprinkler was completed in 2003 and shows a static pressure of 103 PSI and a Residual Pressure of 52 PSI with 2210 GPM near the site. This is considered more than adequate for the project. Summary: This property is part of the Shepherds Path development and the infrastructure has been designed and is constructed to accommodate the development of this parcel.

Sincerely, R. Michael Leek, Tribal Planning Manager General Comments and Recommendation: I appreciate the opportunity to meet with City staff on Tuesday, November 15 to discuss this project. At that meeting it was explained that City staff felt that the proposed apartment use would generate less traffic than the soccer dome and soccer field/hockey rinks initially approved as a part of the Shepherd’s Path PUD. In Addition, City staff felt that the total daily traffic load would not exceed the 2006 Scott County projections. While I appreciate the basis for the City staff decision not to require an updated traffic analysis, the nature of the use (and its traffic generation patterns) compared to the uses originally approved in the Shepherd’s Path PUD is significantly different enough in the opinion of the SMSC to still warrant an update to the traffic analysis. In addition, the changes in the roadway network in this area also suggest that an update would be desirable. The SMSC recommends that a traffic analysis update should include the following; • An up to date traffic analysis that evaluates the impact of the project on residents of the adjacent, nearby SMSC trust lands/residential neighborhoods, as well as the impact on traffic flow and stacking at the intersection of McKenna Road and CR 42; • An analysis of the additional wear and tear on McKenna Road, which is maintained by the SMSC and runs through and adjacent to SMSC trust lands. The SMSC has maintained McKenna Road to the north for something in excess of 10 years. 2 L:\16 FILES\16 SUBDIVISIONS\FINAL PLAT\Lake Ridge Apartments (DEV16-000007)\PC Report\LakeRidgeApartments_commentletter_11152016.docx In addition, the SMSC recommends that there be a Stormwater Management Plan for this project. We recognize that a preliminary grading and drainage plan was filed with the application. However, that level of plan does not provide the SMSC with the opportunity to fully confirm what, if any, drainage from the project would have on the wooded SMSC property to the west. The recommended conditions of approval require a revised plan, but post approval the SMSC would not able to provide any meaningful review of the drainage plan. The SMSC recommends to the City of Prior Lake that the PUD Amendment and Final Plat not be approved, but instead be tabled at this time, and that the project applicant be required to prepare and submit a revised traffic analysis and Stormwater Management Plan. Specific Traffic Concerns; Prior Lake city staff were kind enough to provide SMSC with a copy of the 2005 traffic analysis done by the consulting firm SRF for the Shepherd’s Path PUD. Unfortunately, that analysis did not include traffic generation for a project like the Lake Ridge Apartments that are currently proposed. The project, as revised, proposes 150 market-rate to luxury apartments. With that rental structure it is reasonable to expect that many of the households that would occupy the units would be 2-car households. Given that assumption, it is reasonable to expect traffic generation numbers very similar to single- family residential units, i.e. 10 trips/day. This equates to 1,500 trips per day that would be generated by this project. About half of these trips can be expected to be commuting trips, and would have only one exit, i.e. on to McKenna Road. Prior Lake staff analysis estimates that about 75%/1,125 trips would be northbound on McKenna Road, while 375 trips would be northbound on McKenna Road. Even that level of southbound trips daily could have an impact of the functioning of the intersection of CR 42 and McKenna Road. . While McKenna Road is designed for traffic volumes up to 6,400 cars/day, existing and proposed SMSC residences will already contribute about 2,000 vehicles per day. Future commercial and business park development would also add substantially to the daily traffic loading on McKenna Road. It also expected that it would experience significant use for church events and worship. Given that McKenna Road runs through SMSC lands and is maintained by the SMSC, the City and the SMSC should have further discussions about whether this impact is acceptable or can be mitigated, and about the impact on the cost of maintaining McKenna Road as a result of the additional wear and tear. Drainage Comments: 1. A majority of this site currently drains west to a ravine between Woodland Trail and Thunderbird Circle and ultimately to the East Village ponds. 3 L:\16 FILES\16 SUBDIVISIONS\FINAL PLAT\Lake Ridge Apartments (DEV16-000007)\PC Report\LakeRidgeApartments_commentletter_11152016.docx 2. Stormwater runoff from the improved site is proposed to be routed east to the existing ponds south of the YMCA/Shepherd of the Lake Church. These ponds drain east across CR 21 and ultimately to Pike Lake. 3. The amount of runoff directed through SMSC land should in theory be reduced based on this initial review. However, the Stormwater Management Plan should be submitted for confirmation to ensure peak runoff rates and volumes to SMSC land are not increased. Light and Noise Concerns: The applicant has submitted a revised plan that orients the surface parking facilities to the south side of the site. This should substantially address the concerns expressed in the previous SMSC comments on this project. Request: Because the applicant has not provided; • An updated analysis of the impact of the project’s traffic generation on adjacent and nearby SMSC residents; • An analysis of the impact on the cost of the SMSC maintaining McKenna Road, which the City of Prior Lake and the SMSC should then discuss; • A Stormwater Management Plan. The SMSC requests the following; • That action on this project be tabled for the time being; • That the applicant be required to provide the information and analyses outlined immediately above; • That this information and analyses be provided to SMSC staff for review well in advance of any action(s) by the City on this project • That representatives of the City and SMSC meet to discuss the cost impacts of the additional wear and tear on McKenna Road from traffic generated by this project.
