CITY COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT
MEETING DATE: NOVEMBER 28, 2016
AGENDA #: 9B
PREPARED BY: CASEY MCCABE, COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT SPECIALIST
PRESENTED BY: CASEY MCCABE
AGENDA ITEM:
CONSIDER APPROVAL OF A RESOLUTION AMENDING THE FINAL
PLANNED UNIT DEVELOPMENT (PUD) PLAN KNOWN AS CRYSTAL BAY
TOWNHOMES
DISCUSSION: Introduction
DBOW Properties and the Crystal Bay Homeowners’ Association have applied
for approval of a minor amendment to the Planned Unit Development (PUD)
known as Crystal Bay Townhomes on property located south of CSAH 82, ap-
proximately ½ mile west of CSAH 21.
History
The Crystal Bay Townhomes Planned Unit Development (PUD) was approved
by the City Council on December 1, 2003. The approved PUD Plan included 24
townhouse units in 12 buildings. The proposed townhouses were a 3-story walk-
out, attached single family style dwelling with an attached garage.
The Prior Lake City Council has granted multiple PUD amendments in the past
which allowed for the remaining residential lots to change construction styles be-
tween detached single-family units and attached twin-home units, adjust the size
of the units and modify the exterior elevations and building materials.
Current Circumstances
The applicants, DBOW Properties and the Crystal Bay Homeowners Association,
have applied for a minor amendment to the PUD requesting a waiver from the
requirements of Subsection 1104.805 4.(c) of the City of Prior Lake Shoreland
Regulations. Subsection 1104.805 4.(c) states, in part, “The number of spaces
provided for continuous beaching, mooring, or docking of watercraft shall not ex-
ceed one for each allowable dwelling unit or site in the first tier.”
When the Crystal Bay Townhomes PUD was originally approved, there were 20
dwelling units proposed within the first tier of the development which allowed 20
boat slips. One additional boat slip was permitted for loading and unloading of
equipment for use by occupants of dwelling units on sites located in other tiers;
for a total of 21 boat slips. Subsequent PUD amendments resulted in only 19
dwelling units constructed within the first tier of the development.
The applicants have requested approval of 23 boat slips to allow each dwelling
unit within the PUD to have one boat slip. To allow 23 boat slips, the Prior Lake
City Council must approve a resolution approving a minor PUD amendment and
a waiver from the requirements of Subsection 1104.805 4.(c) of the City of Prior
2
ISSUES:
Lake Shoreland Regulations. No more slips can be requested since no more
dwellings on can be constructed within this PUD.
Conclusion
The applicant has indicated there is sufficient room on the existing dock system
for 23 boat slips and there will be no additions to the current dock. Staff does not
believe the proposed amendment will change the character of the PUD, and
therefore, staff recommends approval of the minor amendment to the Crystal Bay
Townhomes PUD subject to the following condition:
1. The Crystal Bay Townhomes Common Interest Community Declaration shall
be updated and recorded to identify boat slip numbers and the unit to which
each individual boat slip is assigned.
Approval or consent from the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources is re-
quired for any modification or waiver of the City of Prior Lake Shoreland Regula-
tions. City staff has provided a copy of this memo and discussed this request
with the DNR Area Hydrologist and received written consent from the MNDNR
related to this request.
ALTERNATIVES: 1. Motion and a second to adopt a resolution amending the Final Planned Unit
Development (PUD) Plan known as Crystal Bay Townhomes.
2. Motion and a second to deny the resolution amending the Final Planned Unit
Development (PUD) Plan known as Crystal Bay Townhomes.
3. Motion and a second to table this item to another meeting and provide direc-
tion to city staff and/or the applicant.
