PLANNING COMMISSION AGENDA REPORT
MEETING DATE: JUNE 19, 2017
AGENDA #: 4B
PREPARED BY: JEFF MATZKE, PLANNER
PRESENTED BY: JEFF MATZKE
AGENDA ITEM:
HOLD A PUBLIC HEARING TO CONSIDER THE TRILLIUM COVE FINAL
PLANNED UNIT DEVELOPMENT PLAN
DISCUSSION: Introduction
Pulte Group, Inc., on behalf of the property owner, has applied for approval of
a Final Planned Unit Development (PUD) Plan to be known as Trillium Cove to
be developed as a 207-lot, low density residential subdivision. The subject site
is located south of County Highway 42, west of Ferndale Avenue, and north of
Lower Prior Lake.
History
The City has received multiple land use applications for potential development
of the site over the last several years. In 2013 the City Council denied an
application for a preliminary plat on the east half of the site. In 2014 the Pulte
Group submitted a concept plan and preliminary plat to the City but ultimately
withdrew the application due to financial feasibility. More recently the Pulte
Group submitted a concept plan to the City in early 2017 and the Pulte Group
has since moved forward with the current project design. On May 22, 2017 the
City Council approved the Preliminary PUD Plan and Preliminary Plat for a 207-
lot single family low density residential development project.
Current Circumstances
The current proposal calls for a 207-lot single family subdivision and PUD on
the site with a mix of housing product types and lot sizes. The area
encompasses land with wooded areas to the north, a large significant wetland,
and open field areas in the south.
The following paragraphs outline the physical characteristics of the existing site,
the Comprehensive Plan and zoning designations, and a description of some of
the specifics of the site.
PHYSICAL SITE CHARACTERISTICS:
Total Site Area: The total development site area consists of approximately 92
acres which includes a large amount of what is known as the Shepard/Griffith
and Bolger properties.
Topography: This area has varied topography, with elevations ranging from
the 920’ MSL along the eastern property line near the City park land to 970’-
980’ MSL at a few high points throughout the property.
Wetlands: Several small wetlands and one large highly susceptible wetland
exist on the proposed site. The developer proposes some impacts to the small
wetlands which will be evaluated under the regulations of the Wetland
Conservation Act. Preserve open space and parkland dedication and a trail
area is proposed around the large wetland.
Access: The current main access to the site is currently from a single gravel
driveway at County Hwy 42 that is identified as Meadowlawn Trail.
2030 Comprehensive Plan Designation: This property is designated for Low
Density Residential uses on the 2030 Comprehensive Plan Land Use Map.
Zoning: The site is presently zoned R-1, Low Density Residential.
PROPOSED PLAN
Phasing: The developer expects to complete this project in three phases,
beginning in 2017 and potentially ending in 2018 or 2019. A mixture of housing
types is proposed for construction in the first 2 phases.
Lots: The development plan calls for 207 lots to be constructed of single family
housing styles. The lot sizes range in size and product type including 90 multi-
story single family detached homes, 2) 52 one-story single family detached
homes, and 3) 65 3-story attached townhome units. Requested PUD
modifications to the typical lot minimum sizes and widths are as follows:
Min. Lot Area Min. Lot Width
Multi-Story
Single Family
7,559 sq. ft. proposed
(12,000 sq. ft. required)
60 feet proposed
(86 feet required)
One-Story
Single Family
7,559 sq. ft. proposed
(12,000 sq. ft. required)
55 feet proposed
(86 feet required)
Density: Density of the development is based on the net area of the site, which
is approximately 61 acres. There are a total of 207 units proposed, for an overall
density of approximately 3.4 units per acre. This is consistent with the density
in the R-1 district.
Building Setbacks: The developer requests PUD modifications to the building
setbacks as follows:
One-Story
Single Family
Required
(R-1 Zoning)
Proposed
Front 25’ 25’
Side 10’ 5’ / 10’

20’ 20’
* The developer does not propose modifications to the required typical R-1 building
setbacks for the multi-story single family lots
Parks / Trails: Parkland dedication is proposed mainly around the highly
susceptible wetland at the center of the development with some additional open
space adjacent to the current City Park (North Shore Park) along the eastern
property line as Outlot K. While Outlot K does include areas greater than the
standard 10% maximum slope for useable active parkland, this area provides
additional open space adjacent to the existing public park/open space of North
Shore Park and nearby wetland. A network of public trails and sidewalks are
proposed throughout the site including connections to existing regional trails, a
paved trail around the large wetland, and a curvilinear sidewalk network as part
of the site design. A playground feature area is envisioned at the southwest
corner of the large wetland within the public park.
Tree Replacement: There are many significant trees on this site particularly in
the north half of the site. Due to the need to install street and public utility
connections throughout the ever-varying existing topography, it is difficult to
preserve many tree areas with the exception on the site perimeter and around
the large wetland. The developer has prepared an extensive landscape plan
which will incorporate over 860 trees (2,600 inches) of replacement on the
private lots, outlots, parkland, and street center islands in accordance with our
tree replacement ordinance.
Access/Street: The developer proposes a variety of local and collector streets.
These streets include the “missing link” of Carriage Hills Parkway which is an
important east-west collector that is proposed to be completed at one time with
the 2nd phase. It’s also important to note that the development plan shows only
one connection of Meadowlawn Trail into Carriage Hills Parkway as
recommended by City Staff. Meadowlawn Trail is an important connection
through the development from Carriage Hills to County Highway 42 with limited
driveway access points. Although City staff would recommend even fewer
driveway accesses, the plan shows turn-around potential for each driveway that
abuts this street (which acts as a minor collector). Moreover, the road appears
to properly align with the future full intersection at County Highway 42. A traffic
calming round-about is proposed at the intersection of Meadowlawn Trail and
Carriage Hills Parkway. Also, private streets are proposed for the townhome
area at the northeast corner of the development.
Sanitary Sewer / Water Mains: Sanitary sewer and watermain service will be
extended from multiple existing lines in the region. These include connections
to sanitary sewer lines under Carriage Hills Road, Ferndale Avenue, and County
Hwy 42 (via Rolling Oaks Circle). Watermain connections are proposed to
Carriage Hills Road, Ferndale Avenue, and multiple connections to County Hwy
42 (one connection via Rolling Oaks Circle).
Shoreland District/Impervious Surface: The maximum impervious surface
allowed in the Shoreland District is 30% of the lot area. Impervious surface
coverage is further limited to 25% of each tier area in a Shoreland District PUD.
The only area within the shoreland district (within 1000 feet of Prior Lake) is the
area at the southeast corner of the development just north of Carriage Hills
Parkway. This area will meet the shoreland district impervious surface
requirement.
Grading / Storm water: The site is very complex from a grading and storm
water perspective. The developer proposes to grade the entire site prior to the
construction of the first phase because of all the street, utility, and storm water
features which are ultimately planned. Multiple storm water basins are
proposed.
Fees and Assessments: This development will be subject to the standard
development fees including park dedication and trunk street and utility service
charges. The developer installed street improvements are substantial and as a
part of the PUD, the developer is offering to install the full street improvements
as an offset to the City charging the street oversize fee for this development.
City Staff has evaluated the street costs and concludes that this fee will be
satisfied given the proposed regional street improvements and PUD benefits
that are being proposed at the developer’s sole cost.
Conclusion
The Trillium Cove development, as proposed, is a very complex and unique
project. The developer and City Staff have met numerous times to discuss the
many aspects of the site. The developer has also hosted a neighborhood
meeting to present the development plan to nearby property owners. City Staff
believes the developer is identifying unique PUD benefits within the site
including the preservation of a high quality large wetland and creating a natural
public open space around this feature with an area for a park structure in the
future. Mixed used housing is also proposed for the site, and an innovative
residential development design that includes curvilinear streets, varying building
angles and setbacks, and a unique sense of place for future residents.
In addition, the City is considering an option to coordinate reconstruction of
Rolling Oaks Circle street and utility improvements along with the developer’s
utility construction in the area. As an additional PUD benefit the developer has
indicated a commitment of $123,200 to the coordination of the Rolling Oaks
Circle improvement project.
As noted in the attached staff memorandums, the developer must refine the
plans to assure compliance with the Public Works Design Manual requirements
and City Zoning Ordinance; however, City Staff has discussed these comments
with the developer and feel they will not drastically alter the design of the
development plan or preliminary plat. Therefore, City Staff does advise the
Planning Commission Council approve the Trillium Cove Final PUD Plan with
the following conditions:
• The developer shall revise the plans according to the June 13, 2017 City
Engineering & Public Works Dept. Memorandum
• The developer shall revise the plans according to the June 13, 2017 City
Community & Economic Development Dept. Memorandum
• The Developer shall obtain the required permits from other state or local
agencies prior to applicable on the site
ISSUES: PUD’s provide a flexible approach to development that allows creative, efficient
and effective use of land, including the mixing of land uses. The proposed
project includes a mix of housing types and lot sizes. A PUD tends to preserve
more unique features on site and provides more open space. Despite smaller
lots and townhomes in this plan, the overall net housing density remains low
(3.4 units per acre).
The PUD must be reviewed based on the criteria found in Section 1106 of the
Zoning Ordinance. The criteria which are applicable to the Trillium Cove PUD
are discussed below:
(1) Provides a flexible approach to development which is in harmony with the
purpose and intent of the City's Comprehensive Plan and Zoning
Ordinance.
The proposed PUD is consistent with the Comprehensive Land Use Plan
designations on the entire site. The PUD approach allows the location of
the different land uses in ways that preserve and enhance the natural
features of the site.
(2) More creative, efficient and effective use of land, open space and public
facilities through mixing of land uses.
The proposed PUD plan clusters the residential areas, and provides over
37% of open space on the site.
(3) Create a sense of place and provide more interaction among people;
The PUD plan proposes trails, and other pedestrian elements to connect
the residential elements. A unique and innovative site design incorporates
varying building setbacks, increased safety views at street intersections,
and better view corridors that enhance the pedestrian and vehicular
experience as residents navigate the development.
(4) Increase transportation options, such as walking, biking or bussing;
The plan includes a network of trails that will connect to the regional trail
system. A trail around the large wetland provides a unique natural
walking/biking experience as well. The developer also proposes 10 parallel
parking stalls along the east side of Meadowlawn Trail adjacent to the
proposed City park land.
(5) Provide opportunities for life cycle housing to all ages.
The PUD plan includes several housing types, including one-story single
family dwellings, attached multi-story townhouses, and multi-story
traditional single family homes. This mix will provide housing options to
many different buyers.
(6) Provide more efficient and effective use of streets, utilities, and public
facilities that support high quality land use development at a lesser cost.
The development utilizes a mix of public and private streets. The public
streets provide access through the development and to connectivity to
adjacent areas. The private streets are used for the townhome
development, and will be maintained by a homeowners’ association. The
Developer will provide a contribution to the coordinating Rolling Oaks Circle
reconstruction project.
(7) Enhanced incorporation of recreational, public and open space components
in the development which may be made more useable and be more suitably
located than would otherwise be provided under conventional development
procedures. The PUD district also encourages the developer to convey
property to the public, over and above required dedications, by allowing a
portion of the density to be transferred to other parts of the site.
The PUD incorporates preservation of a large natural trail system around
the wetland area, as well as an active park location nearby the wetland
feature. The developer proposes parkland dedication over and above the
necessary requirement of 10% of the site area.
(8) Preserves and enhances desirable site characteristics and open space, and
protection of sensitive environmental features including, but not limited to,
steep slopes, wetlands, and trees. Where applicable, the PUD should also
encourage historic preservation, re-use and redevelopment of existing
buildings.
The plan includes a trail around the high-quality wetland as well as
preservation of the wetland itself as a focal point within a public park,
curvilinear sidewalks, and a system of trails connecting to other trails in
adjacent developments to create a unique and innovative pedestrian
experience.
(9) High quality of design compatible with surrounding land uses, including both
existing and planned.
The proposed design is compatible with the surrounding low density
residential land uses.

Subject: Trillium Cove Preliminary and Final Plat Review (Project #DEV17-000003)
The Engineering and Public Works Departments have reviewed the preliminary plat and final plat
for the subject project with plan dates as noted below. The plans were reviewed for consistency
with City Ordinances and Standards detailed in the City of Prior Lake Public Works Design
Manual. The following list details deviations from standards or requests for additional information
that must be reconciled prior to project approval. The applicant or its representatives are invited to
contact the engineering department with any questions at 952-447-9830. Comments highlighted
in bold are of particular concern:
PRELIMINARY PLAT COMMENTS (PLAN SET DATES 5/3/17 & 5/25/17)
General
1. Permits from the Met Council, Minnesota Pollution Control Agency, Scott County, and
Department of Health are needed.
2. Benchmark information should be shown on all plan sheets.
3. A digital copy of the plans in pdf or tif format is required prior to construction. All
drawings should use the Scott County Coordinate System.
4. Provide graphic to show where Meadowlawn Trail lines up to the north. Show travel lanes
to the north lining up with Meadowlawn Trail.
5. Show driveway plan for the Bolger properties south of Carriage Hills Parkway.
Grading
1. Any backyard drainage paths must be sodded and protected at the conclusion of grading
activities. Please label these areas on the grading plans and show silt fence protection.
2. Show slopes for maintained areas at no more than 4:1, unmaintained at 3:1. Areas that are
steeper than 3:1 include: the wetland side of block 11 lots, and Outlot K adjacent to block
8 lots.
3. Review curling retaining wall to the east at Outlot N to avoid crossing storm sewer pipe.
4. Proposed grading beyond property lines will require easement/agreement or revise grades
to stay within project area (Bolger Property on Rolling Oaks).
5. Provide easements for all storm sewer pipes, structures and drainage swales located within
common lots.
6. Please review roadway grades at property lines to assure proper elevations at adjacent
properties. Coordinate Rolling Oaks Circle connection with City improvement plans. The
City will provide these when completed.
7. Add Note: A minimum of 10 feet beyond the house shall have a slope less than 10:1.
8. Contours on Carriage Hills Pkwy should correspond to the road alignment.
9. Provide lot corner elevations.
Utilities
1. Easements over the utilities will need to be in place throughout the Townhouse
Development area.
2. See Public Works plan redlines.
3. Please include a note to install wyes on the sanitary sewer in Rolling Oaks Circle.
4. Please show looping of watermain from Sweetwater Circle to Carriage Hills Parkway and
Ferndale to Carriage Hills Parkway.
Streets
1. A detail review will take place once final plat (plan and profile) has been submitted.
Below are general comments regard the street plans that were submitted with the
preliminary plat.
2. Provide turning template for roundabout.
3. Sidewalks that are on private property shall have easements over them.
4. The high point on Hampton St. NE at station 17 seems to be un-necessary. Please review
and remove.
5. Cul-de-sacs and parkway design do not meet City standards. Due to future maintenance
of these areas, the City would prefer not having these areas. A homeowners association
can disband or be ineffective in performing maintenance over the long term.
6. Provide intersection details of connections to existing streets. Please show how Ash
Circle squares up with the curvature of Ferndale. Intersection detail will be needed.
7. Provide signage and striping plan.
8. Final plat drawings should show ped crossing locations.
9. Please move Ferndale Ave to the south to remove the wall along the wetland on the north
side of Ferndale.
10. Please move Hampton St. connection to Ferndale Ave north to center on the existing
block.
Hydrology and Stormwater Management
1. Adjust the low floor elevations of the lots adjacent to ponds 3PTP and 3P so that
they are a minimum of 2-feet above the HWL of each pond. Lot 1, Block 5A and Lot
8, Block 6A do not meet the low opening elevation of being 2 feet above the EOF
elevation. Please adjust these pad elevations accordingly. The invert elevations of
pond inlet flared end sections shall match the OE of the pond. Submerged outlets will
only be allowed at the discretion of the City.
2. The EOF of a pond should be at least 1 foot higher than the HWL. The top of dike
elevation should be at least 2 feet higher than the HWL. The top of the dike for Pond 5P
and Pond 7P should be set two feet above the HWL.
3. Show or define access routes for maintenance purposes to all stormwater
infrastructure and ponding areas (maximum of 8% grade, maximum of 2% cross
slope, and minimum of 10' wide). Drainage and utility easements shall be dedicated
at the time of final platting to provide this access.
4. HydroCAD Model comments:
a. Existing wetland (W3) was not modeled in the existing or proposed HydroCad
model. Please include this wetland in both existing and proposed conditions.
b. The drainage boundary is not correct for the area draining to W3. It extends to
the homes on the west side of Amblewood Drive/Candlewood Lane and to the
north up to Hampton Street. The wetland northeast of W3 drains into W3 via an
8-inch PVC pipe. Please revise this boundary and the calculations.
c. Include catchment 2PS and 4ES in the proposed HydroCad model calculations.
d. Direct entry was used for calculating the time of concentration for areas outside of
Overlay District #1. Use sheet flow and shallow concentrated flow methods for
determining the existing time of concentrations for these areas.
e. The horizontal orifice outlet structures in the proposed HydroCad model have
been entered with the incorrect diameters. Please change these to 66” horizontal
orifices, as shown in the details.
5. The pretreatment basin depth of pond 3PTP should be increased to provide a depth of 4 to
6 feet.
6. The bottom elevation for pond 3P is labeled incorrectly, please correct.
7. The minimum storm sewer pipe size allowed is 15 inches, please change accordingly.
8. Show the NWL of pond 3PTP on sheet 8 of 12.
9. The backyard drainage swale in the lots abutting Outlot G exceeds 300-ft and 8 lots in
length. Consider adding a backyard drainage structure to meet these criteria.
10. Provide storm sewer pipe sizing calculations and plan/profile sheets of all storm sewer
pipes.
11. The orifice in the outlet structure for pond 6P is 2” diameter, which will prone to
plugging. Consider making this 4” minimum with a trash guard to keep maintenance to a
minimum.
12. The P8 output data for device 3P does not show up in the results. Please provide this
information.
13. The net area in Overlay District #1 may be less than shown in the stormwater
report. To calculate the net area, use the following existing catchments, less the
wetland area within each catchment: 1ES, W1S, W2S, WBS, WCS, WDS, WES,
WFS, WGS, WIS AND WJS. Please provide a summary table showing the size of
each catchment and wetland area, which shows the total net area calculation.
SWPPP
1. A SWPPP that meets the requirements of the NPDES Construction Stormwater Permit
must be prepared for all construction activity that results in land disturbance of equal to
or greater than 1 acre. The SWPPP must be reviewed and approved by the City before an
Excavating and Grading Permit is issued. All provisions of the NPDES Construction
Stormwater Permit & SWPPP must be adhered to for the duration of the City grading
permit.
Wetlands
1. The City must review and approve the Wetland Permits Application submitted for this
project on 4/14/2017. This submittal is still under review. The Prior Lake City Council
will consider approving the Wetland Replacement Plan for the project on June 12, 2017.
Any drainage, fill, excavation or other alteration of a public waters or wetlands is
regulated by the Wetland Conservation Act (WCA), State Statutes 103G.245 and
regulations adopted hereunder. The City is the Local Governing Unit (LGU) under these
rules.
2. The local wetland Technical Evaluation Panel (TEP) met at the site to review the wetland
replacement plan. The replacement plan is acceptable under the Wetland Conservation
Act (WCA), with the condition that the applicant provide a revised application showing
updated mitigation plan and site plans.
3. Wetland 1 is one of the highest quality wetlands remaining with the City. With the
removal of the pond in Outlot K, there appears to be a new opportunity to provide
additional protection for Wetland 1. The proposed layout includes impacting steep
slopes and providing a minimum buffer width along the block 9 lots. The retaining
wall proposed for this area could be shifted to the back side of the block 8 lots, with
these lots and Ferndale Ave shifting to the south and the block 9 lots moving further
away from Wetland 1. Minimize grading and tree removal required for trail
placement (trail should be moved as far from the wetland edge as possible). Please
modify the site layout to increase buffers around Wetland 1 to the maximum extent
practicable, as discussed during our most recent review meeting (6/8/2017).
4. Please remove references to onsite wetland replacement from the plan set and update the
note on Sheet 15 with the correct wetland bank purchase amount.
5. Buffer strips shall be identified within each parcel by permanent monuments. Please
indicate buffer monument sign locations on the plan sheets. A monument shall be
required at each parcel line where it crosses a buffer strip and shall have a maximum
spacing of 200 feet along the edge of the buffer strip. An additional monument shall be
placed at the midpoint of each lot and/or as necessary to accurately define the edge of the
buffer strip (considering curvature). A monument shall consist of a post and a buffer
strip sign. The signs shall comply with City Plate #203, Wetland Boundary Signs. The
signs shall be installed prior to the issuance of a Building Permit and should be shown on
the approved plans. Buffer strip signs must be purchased from the City at a cost shown on
the latest fee schedule.
FINAL PLAT COMMENTS (PLAN SET DATE 6/2/17)
General
1. Permits from the Met Council, Minnesota Pollution Control Agency, Scott County, and
Department of Health are needed.
2. The only walls to be maintained by the City are the walls located at the entrance of
Meadowlawn and CSAH 42 and at the entrance of Rolling Oaks Circle and Trillium Cove.
All other walls shall be privately maintained. Please remove private walls from Outlots to
be deeded to the City.
Storm Sewer
1. The minimum allowed slope on storm sewer is 0.5%. Please revise storm sewer
accordingly.
2. The last three pipe joints from the flared end section shall be tied together.
3. Add 3’ sumps to catch basins #99, #109, #121, #128.
4. CB 68 – What will happen at the end of this storm sewer until phase 2 is constructed?
5. FES 154’s invert elevation shall equal FES 98’s invert elevation or vice versa.
6. Storm sewer for Hampton Street flows into the private street drainage system. This storm
sewer should be adjusted to flow into the public drainage system.
7. Storm sewer easements should be a minimum of 20 feet in width. For pipe between STMH
69 and CBMH 68 the width should be 30 feet.
8. Stormsewer between CBMH 99 and FES 98 should be at sufficient distance away from the
adjacent retaining wall (outside of the 1:1 slope area for the retaining wall footing).
Sanitary Sewer
1. The depth of the sanitary is extreme in many areas. In reviewing the plans it appears
that three homes are driving the extreme depths (Lot 17 block 1, Lot 16, block 1, and
Lot 10, block 1). By changing the house style for these lots, depths could be
significantly reduced providing major savings to the developer in overdepth
excavation and riser pipe. It should be noted that because of the extreme depth,
additional easement or right of way in the deepest areas may be required to provide
sufficient area for future repair or replacement. In many other areas the depth of
sanitary sewer could be reduced for example at the end of Sweetwater Circle.
2. The depth of the sanitary sewer on Rolling Oaks should consider service to properties to
the south. The City is beginning design of Rolling Oaks and can furnish an elevation at
the Trillium Cove entrance off Rolling Oaks Circle within the next three weeks. Please
