PLANNING COMMISSION AGENDA REPORT
MEETING DATE: JUNE 19, 2017
AGENDA #: 4A
PREPARED BY: JEFF MATZKE, PLANNER
PRESENTED BY: JEFF MATZKE
AGENDA ITEM:
HOLD A PUBLIC HEARING TO CONSIDER THE HAVEN RIDGE PRE-
LIMINARY PLAT AND PLANNED UNIT DEVELOPMENT PLAN
DISCUSSION: Introduction
M/I Homes, on behalf of the property owner, has applied for approval of
a Preliminary Plat and Preliminary Planned Unit Development (PUD) Plan
known as Haven Ridge, to be developed as a 133-lot, low density resi-
dential subdivision. The subject site is located north of County Highway
42 and east of County Highway 18.
History
M/I Homes submitted a concept plan to the City of Prior Lake in early
2017. The Planning Commission and City Council provided feedback on
the concept plan and M/I Homes has since moved forward with this cur-
rent Preliminary Plat and PUD application.
Current Circumstances
The current proposal calls for a 133-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 and open areas, large electric and natu-
ral gas utility easements and two wetlands.
The following paragraphs outline the physical characteristics of the exist-
ing site, the Comprehensive Plan and zoning designations, and a descrip-
tion of some of the specifics of the site.
PHYSICAL SITE CHARACTERISTICS:
Total Site Area: The total development site area consists of approxi-
mately 55 acres.
Topography: This area has varied topography, with elevations ranging
from the 988’ MSL along the western property line near CSAH 18 to 1050’
MSL along the Savage border to the east.
Wetlands: Two wetlands exist on the proposed site. No impacts are
proposed to the wetland areas.
Access: The main access to the site is currently from a single driveway
at County Hwy 18.
2
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 two 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 133 lots to be constructed of single
family housing styles. The lot sizes range in size and product type includ-
ing 76 detached villa lots and 57 single family detached lots. Requested
PUD modifications to the typical lot minimum sizes and widths are as fol-
lows:
Min. Lot Area Min. Lot Width
Villa Lots 5,650 sq. ft. proposed
(12,000 sq. ft. required)
50 feet proposed
(86 feet required)
Multi-Story
Single Family
7,800 sq. ft. proposed
(12,000 sq. ft. required)
65 feet proposed
(86 feet required)
Density: Density of the development is based on the net area of the site,
which is approximately 36 acres. There is a total of 133 units proposed,
for an overall density of approximately 3.69 units per acre. This is con-
sistent with the density in the R-1 district.
Building Setbacks: The developer requests PUD modifications to the
building setbacks as follows:
Multi-Story Single
Family Setbacks
Required
(R-1 Zoning)
Proposed
Front 20’ 20’
Side 10’ 7.5
Rear 20’ 20’
Parks / Trails: The developer proposes parkland dedication around the
trail system that separates the Villa lots and multi-story single family lots.
Parkland is also proposed around the wetland in the southwest corner.
This area will serve as a future neighborhood park location for the entire
residential area.
Villa Lots Required
(R-1 Zoning)
Proposed
Front 25’ 20’
Side 10’ 4’
Rear 25’ 20’
3
Tree Replacement: There are many significant trees on this site, partic-
ularly in the north half of the site. Due to the need to install street and
public utility connections throughout the ever-varying existing topogra-
phy, 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 430 trees (1,300
inches) of replacement on the private lots, outlots and parkland.
Access/Street: The developer proposes to connect streets to the exist-
ing Shakopee and Savage neighborhoods as well as future connections
to the south and east. Few driveways are proposed off 138th Street which
will eventually extend to a full intersection with Hwy 18 to the east.
Sanitary Sewer / Water Mains: Sanitary sewer and watermain service
will be extended from the City of Shakopee in the north (with an agree-
ment for this service) and from the existing utilities within the Kensington
Avenue right-of-way to the southeast.
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 and the city staff has recommended increased
regionalization of storm water basins on the site.
Home Owner’s Association: The developer proposes the creation of a
home owner’s association which will incorporate the commitment to
higher quality architectural materials with association maintained land-
scaping.
Fees and Assessments: This development will be subject to the stand-
ard development fees, including park dedication and trunk street and util-
ity service charges.
Conclusion
City staff and the developer have discussed their plan and housing prod-
uct type which will be presented at the meeting. The product type differs
in lot size and setbacks than previous PUD developments in Prior Lake.
The housing market is identifying smaller lots with more manageable
property maintenance structures and the developer’s project plan reflects
this market shift. 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 open space, mix of life cycle housing types
and regional trail connections.
As noted in the attached staff memorandums, the developer must refine
the plans to assure compliance with the Public Works Design Manual re-
quirements and City Zoning Ordinance; however, City staff feels these
comments will not drastically alter the design of the development plan or
preliminary plat. Therefore, City staff does advise the Planning Commis-
sion to consider recommending approval of the Haven Ridge Preliminary
Plat and PUD Plan with the following conditions:
4
1. The developer shall revise the plans per the June 12, 2017 City
Engineering & Public Works Department Memorandum
2. The developer shall revise the plans per the June 13, 2017 City
Community Development Department Memorandum
3. The developer shall obtain a grading permit from the City Engi-
neering Department prior to any grading or tree removal on the
site.
4. 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. 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 Haven
Ridge 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 with open space areas.
(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 30% 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. HOA and public open space areas
throughout the development create a sense of place.
(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 including a connection to Hwy 18, the existing regional
trail in Savage, and a future connection to the residential areas and
parkland to the south.
(5) Provide opportunities for life cycle housing to all ages.
The PUD plan includes a mix of housing types, including one-story
villa dwellings and detached multi-story traditional single family
homes. This mix will provide housing options to many different
buyers.
5
(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 streets that will enhance the
traffic flow of the region in both a north-south and east-west direction.
(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 open space and a greenway
corridor around the trail system.
(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 regional trail corridor connection to Savage and
the south residential development.
(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 use.

Memo
Date: June 14, 2017
To: Community Development
From: Engineering Department – Larry Poppler, City Engineer
Engineering Department – Nick Monserud, Project Engineer
Public Works Department – Pete Young, Water Resources Engineer
Subject: Haven Ridge (Project #DEV17-000002)
The Engineering Department and Public Works Department have reviewed the preliminary plat
for Haven Ridge with a plan date of May 19, 2017 and we have the following comments.
Comments highlighted in bold text are of particular concern:
General
1. The final plat plans should follow the requirements of the Public Works Design Manual
(PWDM).
2. Permits from the Met Council, Minnesota Pollution Control Agency, Scott County, and
Department of Health are needed.
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. Outlot G should be shown as Park.
Grading
1. Please review the grading plans for Summit Preserve and match the contours with this
approved plan. As shown there is a 4’ elevation difference.
2. Retaining walls over 4’ in height will require a retaining wall permit from the City. They
must be designed and reviewed by a Structural Engineer.
3. Retaining walls within public right-of-way and Outlots to be dedicated to the City shall
be modular block.
4. 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.
5. Show slopes for maintained areas at no more than 4:1, unmaintained at 3:1. Areas that are
shown or seem steeper than 3:1 include: Lots 65, 66 and 67 on Street A.
6. Show construction limits in all areas (including areas adjacent to tree preservation areas).
Silt fence will also be required in these areas.
7. Proposed grading beyond property lines will require easement/agreement or revise grades
to stay within project area.
8. Provide easements for all storm sewer pipes, structures and drainage swales located
within common lots.
9. Please review roadway grades at property lines to assure proper elevations at adjacent
properties. Provide ghost plat review.
10. Show the 1006 elevation contour around BB-8742 on the grading plan.
11. Show lot corner elevations.
Utilities
1. A detail review will take place once final plat (plan and profile) has been submitted.
Below are general comments regarding the utility plans that were submitted with the
preliminary plat.
2. If Summit Preserve to the South is delayed, the water booster station will still be
necessary for Haven Ridge. It may require that the booster station be constructed
on Haven Ridge. This would require mains to be extended down CSAH 18.
3. If Summit Preserve does not develop or lags behind Haven Ridge, it will become
M/I’s responsibility to re-route the sanitary sewer in Meadow Ave and Cedarwood
St. This will allow sewer to flow to the West.
4. Sanitary sewer casing and pipe must be extended under CSAH 18 for future
connection to the west. City will review capacity to the south as a part of the
Comprehensive Plan to determine if it is necessary to extend casing under CSAH 18.
5. Coordination with the City of Savage is needed to determine if a watermain
interconnection is needed on 138th Street.
6. Watermain can be PVC.
7. Watermain on Street A should be 12” pipe.
8. Watermain north along CSAH 18 is unnecessary.
9. Sanitary sewer south on Wildflower Way should be evaluated.
10. Coordinate sewer connection with the City of Shakopee. This would be considered
temporary until the land west of CSAH 18 develops.
11. Add additional hydrant on Kensington Ave. The max hydrant spacing is 450’ for
residential developments. Add hydrants throughout the development as necessary.
12. Provide additional details for utility connections (i.e. pavement removal limits,
connection notes, etc).
13. The minimum storm sewer pipe size allowed is 15 inches.
14. Provide storm sewer sizing calculations.
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. Several low points on the streets are extremely close to high points and may be
unnecessary considering the overall grade.
3. Provide street and storm sewer sheets.
4. The Kensington Avenue cul-de-sac could be shifted to the south to reduce public
infrastructure.
5. Provide details of connections to existing streets and Summit Preserve.
6. Provide blow up intersection details.
7. Show removal of the temporary cul-de-sac with the connection to Kensington Avenue.
Add curb and gutter to the west side of Kensington. Show resident driveway
connections.
8. Provide trail on CR 18 to South property line.
9. Avoid unnecessary watermain crossings with the sanitary sewer.
10. Trail connection must be coordinated with the City of Savage.
11. Several locations on the streets show slopes of less than 1.00%. The minimum
allowed street grade is 1.00% per the Public Works Design Manual.
Hydrology and Stormwater Management
1. Review lots for compliance with low floor/low opening requirements. Low floor
elevations shall be at least 3 feet above the OHW or highest known water elevation
(whichever is greater) and 2 feet above the HWL. Low opening elevations shall be at
least 2 feet above the EOF.
2. Review lots for compliance with EOF requirements. Please address the following:
a. The EOF elevation on all ponds should be 1-foot higher than the HWL.
b. The EOF south of Street C flows water over a retaining wall.
c. EOF routes should have a minimum of 20 feet of unoccupied easement
d. The EOF for 8000P flows into Shakopee. Coordination with Shakopee is needed
to assure this plan meets Shakopee’s stormwater plan.
e. The low opening of Lots 49-51 encircled by Street B, does not meet the criteria
for being 2-feet above the EOF, along with Lots 57 -60, south of Street A.
f. Lots 37-39, south of Street B, and Lots 38 and 39 on Kensington, do not meet the
criteria for having the low opening at least 2-feet above the EOF elevation.
g. Show the EOF location and elevation for the backyards of Lots19-21, south of
Street D. These lots do not meet the HWL plus 2-feet to low opening elevation.
h. Show the low point EOF at station 3+45 on 138th Street.
i. Show the EOF location for pond 12P on the grading plan.
j. All other low points should be evaluated for the 2-foot elevation to low opening
elevation.
3. Provide a maintenance access to all ponding areas and infiltration BMPs. When trails are
to be utilized as maintenance accesses, the trail must be 10’ in width and have a
pavement section that can accommodate maintenance equipment. Please show
maintenance routes and pavement sections for these areas.
4. The storm sewer south of Street B could be routed to basin 8800P.
5. Backyard swales exceed standards. Maximum length for drainage swales shall be 300
feet or a total of eight lots draining to a point.
6. Show NWL for all ponds and OHWL for water bodies/wetlands. The HWL labeled for
the ponds on the grading plans does not match what is shown on the pond contours.
7. The top of pond dikes must be 2-feet above the HWL of each pond.
8. Provide details for the outlet control structures for each pond.
9. Pond 200P appears to be a water quality pond and not a volume control BMP. Please
provide additional detail for this basin, along with a pretreatment BMP.
10. Provide design and details for the proposed infiltration BMPs that meet the requirements
of the Minnesota Stormwater Manual. Additional review of the proposed BMPs will
occur after this information is received.
11. The MN Stormwater Manual list SP soils at 0.8”/hr and SM soils at 0.45”/hr infiltration
rate. An average of these two rates is 0.63”/hr, which may be used for design until actual
rates are determined in the field at the location and elevation of the proposed infiltration
systems.
12. Stormwater Management Calculations Comments:
a. The proposed broad-crested weir elevations and HWLs for pond 2000P and 2W in
the HydroCAD model do not match what is shown on the grading plan.
b. The starting elevation for pond 200P should match the outlet elevation.
c. The EOF elevation for pond 880P in the HydroCAD model does not match the
storm sewer plan.
d. The outlet control structure was not included in the HydroCAD model for pond
600P, please include this in the model. Also, the outlet elevations on the storm
sewer plan do not match the HydroCAD model.
e. The secondary outlet in pond 810P does not match the outlet from pond 600P in
the HydroCAD calculations.
f. The outlet diameter from pond 890P in the HydroCAD model does not match the
storm sewer plan.
SWPPP
1. A SWPPP that meets the requirements of the NPDES Construction Stormwater Permit
must be reviewed and approved before a grading permit will be issued for the site. Full
SWPPP review will occur after updated plans are submitted.
2. Redundant sediment control BMPs are required for areas draining to ponds and wetlands.
Wetlands
1. Please provide calculations showing that existing wetland hydrology will be
approximated in the developed condition. Run back-to-back 100-year storms for wetland
1W to determine the HWL for this basin (appears to be landlocked).
2. Delineated wetland lines and buffers should be shown beyond the property lines.
3. Include details for any wetland buffer re-establishment including native seed mix.
4. Show wetland buffer monuments on the plans. 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. Buffer strip signs
must be purchased from the City at a cost shown on the latest fee schedule.
