CITY COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT
MEETING DATE: JULY 10, 2017
AGENDA #: 5F
PREPARED BY: JEFF MATZKE, PLANNER
PRESENTED BY: JEFF MATZKE
AGENDA ITEM:
CONSIDER APPROVAL OF A RESOLUTION APPROVING THE FINAL
PLAT, FINAL PLANNED UNIT DEVELOPMENT PLAN AND DEVELOPMENT
AGREEMENT FOR TRILLIUM COVE
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 this 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 reasons. More recently the
Pulte Group submitted a concept plan to the City in early 2017. The Planning
Commission and City Council provided feedback on the concept plan, and the
Pulte Group has since moved forward with this current Final Plat and PUD
application. The Planning Commission held a public hearing on June 19, 2017
regarding the Final PUD and received several comments from the public (see
attached minutes of the meeting). The main comments highlighted concerns
with tree removal and drainage.
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’
Rear 25’ 20’

line
20’
Side (between
buildings)
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 City
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.

J. Rolling Oaks Circle Public Improvement Project. The City is considering a
reconstruction project of Rolling Oaks Circle in 2017 that would include the installation
of sanitary sewer (“sewer”), water main (“water”), storm sewer, and new urban streets.
The Project will be served with sewer and water through Rolling Oaks Circle through one
of the following options:
Option 1: If the City undertakes such a project in 2017, the City will install stubs from the
Rolling Oaks Circle project at the new Trillium Cove Street connection to provide sewer
and water for the Project. If the City has installed said stubs by ___________then
Developer will connect to the stubs to serve the Project. If the City has not installed said
stubs by the stated date, Developer may install sewer and water for the Project within the
Plat and shall install stubs to Rolling Oaks Circle at the new Trillium Cove Street
connection. When the City installs sewer and water in Rolling Oaks Circle the City will
connect the new sewer and water to the Developer installed stubs. As a part of the
development agreement Pulte will pay a total of $123,200 toward the Rolling Oaks Circle
Page 11
City project. Pulte will not be assessed for any other cost related to the Rolling Oaks
Circle project.
Option 2: If the City does not proceed with the Rolling Oaks Circle project or if the City
does not begin installing the sewer and water within Rolling Oaks Circle by October 15,
2017, then Developer has the option of installing the sewer and water within Rolling
Oaks Circle from Highway 42 to the new Trillium Cove Street connection in order to
extend these utilities to serve the Project. Installation would also include wyes with caps
for the sewer beneath Rolling Oaks Circle. In this Option, in lieu of a financial
contribution, Developer will be responsible for this construction work and all costs
associated with the work and the City will refund the $123,200 to Developer.”
17. MAINTENANCE OF PLATTED LOTS. Developer shall provide ongoing maintenance
of all platted lots on the Property (with the exception of outlots upon which no improvements are
anticipated until some future phase of development), including but not limited to mowing and weed
control, sidewalk clearing (ice, snow, building materials, eroded materials, and other debris), storm water
and erosion control, and other maintenance issues for which the Developer receives notice from the City
Manager or his/her designee. Developer’s obligations pursuant to this paragraph shall continue until the
later of: (i) such time as the City has accepted the Developer Installed Improvements in writing; or (ii)
until each specific lot is sold.
18. OVERSIZING. Oversizing is the construction of a Developer Installed Improvement to City
specifications that exceeds those that would be required of the Developer in order to serve additional
development. Oversizing improvements include, but are not limited to, sanitary sewer, water, storm drainage
facilities, and road improvements. If the City Engineer determines that oversizing is required, the City shall
reimburse the Developer for the costs associated with this work. City and Developer agree that the cost of
Page 12
system oversizing to be reimbursed to the Developer is based upon a cost estimate by the City Engineer as
determined by an engineer’s estimate or contractors bid to be provided by the Developer and application of
the City's Assessment Policy based on a final engineering design as described in Exhibit B.
19. LANDSCAPING (Single-Family Residential). In accordance with the City Subdivision
Ordinance, each residential lot on the Property must have at least two (2) front yard trees. The City shall not
issue a building permit for a lot until two (2) front yard trees are planted or retained and a cash escrow or
letter of credit for the lot in question’s landscaping is provided to the City. The City shall not issue a certificate
of occupancy for a lot until the front yard, boulevard, and side yards to the rear of every structure have been
sodded, weather permitting. If the required landscaping is not installed, the City is granted a right of entry to
enter upon the lot and install the landscaping using the escrowed funds or letter of credit. Upon satisfactory
completion of the landscaping on the lot, the escrowed funds less any draw made by the City, shall be returned
to the person who deposited the funds with the City.
20. LANDSCAPING (Special Provisions). Landscaping for the Property shall comply with Plan
C. Developer shall warrant all required trees, whether the trees are to be retained or planted, for one (1) year
from the later of: (i) the planting of the tree; or (ii) the issuance of a certificate of occupancy to the lot upon
which the tree is located. A tree replaced under this warranty shall be warranted an additional year (1) year
from the date of the planting of the replaced tree. In additional to all other security required under this
Agreement, Developer shall provide to the City a cash escrow or letter of credit in the amount specified as
125% of the total project landscaping estimate to secure the planting and retainage of the required trees and
to secure this warranty. If Developer fails to plant or retain the required trees or fails to comply with this
warranty, the City may draw upon the escrowed funds or letter of credit to plant or replace required trees.
Developer may periodically request reductions of the escrowed funds or letter of credit and the City may
approve such a request in an amount of the value of each healthy tree for which the warranty has expired as
determined by the City. No tree plantings shall be placed within five (5) feet of a sanitary sewer, storm
Page 13
sewer, or water main line. All plantings permitted in public right-of-way/boulevard areas shall be placed a
minimum four (4) feet behind the curb, be of deciduous species (no coniferous species), and be located outside
of a fifty (50) foot sight triangle at street corners.

C, from a bank approved by the City. The bank shall be authorized to do business in the State of Minnesota.
The Security shall extend through completion and acceptance (including the expected warranty period) by
the City of the Development Work.
D. In the event that Developer fails to comply with the terms of this Agreement, the City may
draw on the Security in whole or in part without notice by delivering or mailing by certified mail to the
issuer a statement identifying the amount of the draw and reason for the draw. In addition, if the
Development Work is not completed at least 30 days prior to the expiration of the Security, the City may
draw on the Security in the same manner. The City shall not be under any obligation to cure any breach
of the terms of this Agreement with the proceeds from the Security, but may, at the City’s sole option,
cure the breach or retain the proceeds from the Security until Developer cures the breach. In the event the
Page 14
breach is fully cured by Developer, the City shall then release to Developer such retained draw proceeds,
less any expenses incurred by the City as a result of the breach (including but not limited to engineer’s,
attorney’s, and other consultant fees and costs).
E. If the City makes a draw on the Security, Developer shall immediately replenish the
Security to an amount then sufficient to cure any breach plus 125% of the cost of all Development Work
then remaining for which the Security was required.
F. The City may, from time to time, and only if Developer is otherwise in compliance with
all terms of the Agreement, approve a reduction in the amount of the Security based upon work completed
and approved by the City Engineer or his/her designee, except that the City may, at all times, maintain the
Security in an amount equal to 125% of the actual projected costs for all remaining Development Work
for which the Security was required as determined by the City Engineer or his/her designee and 25% of
the value of the completed Development Work for which the Security was required. In any event, the
City may maintain a minimum 5% of the value of the actual projected costs throughout the warranty period
and until the maintenance bonds described in paragraph 8 have been accepted and approved by the City.
In the event that maintenance bonds are not submitted, the City may maintain a minimum 25% of the of
the value of the actual projected costs throughout the warranty period.

A. Developer assumes full financial responsibility for any damage which may occur to public
property including but not limited to streets, street sub- base, base, bituminous surface, curb, utility system
including but not limited to water main, sanitary sewer or storm sewer when said damage occurs as a result

The Recitals set forth above are herein incorporated as if fully set forth.
2. PURPOSE OF CONTRACT
2.1 The purpose of this Contract is to set out the terms and conditions pursuant to
which the City Council of the City of Prior Lake grants its approval for the
Developer to develop the Development Property as a Planned Unit Development.
The terms and conditions set forth herein are intended to promote and protect the

3. FINDINGS
3.1 The Prior Lake Zoning Ordinance sets out goals and objects against which all
applications for Planned Unit Developments must be evaluated against. The final
Planned Unit Development plan is consistent with the goals and objectives of a
Planned Unit Development as specified in the Zoning Ordinance. To that effect,
the City Council has made the following findings:
Page 3
3.1.1 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.
3.1.2 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.
3.1.3 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.
3.1.4 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.
3.1.5 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.
3.1.6 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.
3.1.7 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.
Page 4
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.
3.1.8 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.
3.1.9 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.
