The subject site is located north of County Highway 42 and the Summit Preserve Residential Development, east of County Highway 18. History M/I Homes is currently constructing the Haven Ridge residential develop- ment, a 133-lot PUD, to the north of this project (approved in 2017). The Winkler Land Company has reached an agreement to sell the Haven Ridge South PUD, 32-lot subdivision, to M/I Homes as a future phase of the same villa style housing type that are being constructed in Haven Ridge. The Planning Commission held a public hearing on February 12, 2018. No comments from the public were received during the public hearing and so the Planning Commission is recommending approval of this peti- tion. Current Circumstances The current proposal calls for a 32-lot single family subdivision and PUD on the site. The area encompasses land with wooded and open areas, a large natural gas utility easement, and one wetland. 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 11 acres. 2 Topography: This area has varied topography, with elevations ranging from the 980’ MSL along the wetland to 1020’ MSL along the eastern border. Wetlands: One wetland exists on the proposed site. No impacts are proposed to the wetland area. Access: The main access to the site is from a single driveway at County Hwy 18. 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 Agricultural (A). PROPOSED PLAN Lots: The development plan calls for 32 detached villa lots to be con- structed with a single-family housing style. The minimum lot size is 5,750 square feet and the minimum lot width is 50 feet. Requested PUD modi- fications to the typical lot minimum sizes and widths are as follows: Min. Lot Area Min. Lot Width Villa Lots 5,750 sq. ft. proposed (12,000 sq. ft. required) 50 feet proposed (86 feet required) Density: Density of the development is based on the net area of the site, which is approximately 7.27 acres. There is a total of 32 units proposed, for an overall density of approximately 4.4 units per acre. Building Setbacks: The developer requests PUD modifications to the building setbacks as follows: Parks / Trails: The developer proposes to construct a trail section from the future neighborhood park which will lie southeast of the site through the eastern part of Haven Ridge South and along Wildflower Way to con- nect with the regional trail that is proposed under the overhead power lines north of the site. Tree Replacement: There are many significant trees on this site, partic- ularly in the east 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 150 trees (510 caliper inches) of replacement on the private lots and outlots. Villa Lots Required (R-1 Zoning) Proposed Front 25’ 20’ Side 10’ 4’ Rear 25’ 20’ 3 Access/Street: The developer proposes to connect public streets to the existing Haven Ridge neighborhood (Wildflower Way) as well as future connections to the south. Sanitary Sewer / Water Mains: Sanitary sewer and watermain service will be extended from the Haven Ridge Development project. Funds for the removal of the temporary lift station that was installed as part of the Haven Ridge Development will be submitted as part of the development agreement for Haven Ridge South. This lift station will be removed when a gravity line is installed sometime in the future with development of the large property west of Hwy 18 (Vierling Property). Grading / Storm water: The developer proposes to direct all storm water to the single pond at the southwest corner of the site near the wetland. 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. The developer will commit to the use of architectural standards including stone, brick, stucco, and lap siding, non-monotony standards, accent design features, and landscaping standards that are in addition to the city standards for architectural design. The HOA will maintain the private lot areas and routine maintenance of the public trail as part of the PUD agreement. 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. Allocation of the park dedication fees will help fund a neighborhood park that is planned for the central area between the Ha- ven Ridge, Haven Ridge South, and Summit Preserve residential devel- opments. Conclusion City staff and the developer have discussed the development plan and reviewed city staff comments from the initial city staff plan review. 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 a trail looping connection that will be installed by the developer and maintained by the local home owner’s association (HOA) even though it will be a public trail. The developer must refine the development plans to assure compliance with the Public Works Design Manual requirements and City Zoning Or- dinance. The City Staff feels the revisions are minor in nature and will not drastically alter the design of the development plan or preliminary plat. Therefore, City staff does recommend that the City Council consider ap- proval of the Haven Ridge South Preliminary Plat and PUD Plan with the following conditions: 1. The developer shall revise the plans per the February 26, 2018 City Engineering & Public Works Department Memorandum. 2. The developer shall revise the plans per the February 26, 2018 City Community Development Department Memorandum. 4 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. A PUD tends to preserve more unique features on site and provides more open space. The overall net housing density will be a medium residential density at 4.4 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 South 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 provides over 20% of open space on the site. (3) Create a sense of place and provide more interaction among people; The PUD plan proposes a trail behind the lots on the east side which will lead to the future neighborhood park area. The continuity of architectural styles within the housing units and common maintenance of the landscaped areas by the home owner’s association (HOA) will provide a sense of place throughout the development. (4) Increase transportation options, such as walking, biking or bussing; The plan includes a trail that will connect to the regional trail system which extends to Hwy 18, the existing regional trail in Savage, and a future connection to the residential areas and parkland to the south. This will fill a trail gap in the City’s trail system to the neighborhood park area. (5) Provide opportunities for life cycle housing to all ages. The PUD plan includes a villa housing type that generally appeals to entry level home owners as well as retirees or senior demographics. (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 will provide the next public street link to a future connection to 138th Street NE (the local collector road in the area). (7) Enhanced incorporation of recreational, public and open space components in the development which may be made more useable 5 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 natural open space around the proposed trail. (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 corridor connection to the north residential development and neighborhood park to the south. This trail, while public, will be added to the maintenance schedule of the local home owner’s association (HOA). (9) High quality of design compatible with surrounding land uses, including both existing and planned. The proposed design is compatible with the surrounding medium density residential land use. The developer and home owner’s association (HOA) will commit to the use of architectural standards including stone, brick, stucco, and lap siding, non-monotony standards, accent design features, and landscaping standards that are in addition to the city standards for architectural design.

Haven Ridge South is approximately 11 acres and includes 32 lots and two oulots, one of which will be held for future development. The property is located at 13625 Crest Avenue NE south of the Haven Ridge development and north of the Chadwick property and Summit Preserve. PUD Benefits The plat is proposed to be an extension of the Villa Homes that M/I Homes is building in the Haven Ridge plat. M/I Homes will be the exclusive builder of the homes and it is planned that these homes and neighborhood will be added to the same association as the Villa Homes in the Haven Ridge neighborhood. Life Cycle Housing The Villa Homes are part of the life-cycle of homes and bring a new product type to the City of Prior Lake. The Villa Homes are single family homes with association maintenance of yard areas and snow removal. These homes meet the increasing demand for one-level living with association maintenance. Villa Homes provide the benefits of a single family home, with all the conveniences of a townhome. The association maintenance of lawn areas and snow removal provides the homeowner with the freedom to travel, own a winter or summer home, or more time for recreation. Haven Ridge South homeowners may select "ale-carte" services through the homeowner association, such as gutter cleaning, spring and fall clean-up, and other services to assist in the upkeep and maintenance of the outdoor spaces. Landscaped Yards Since the Villa Homes yards are proposed to be maintained through an association, landscaping of the yards has been proposed. The plantings are a key way to beatify the neighborhood and keep a similar appearance as the Haven Ridge neighborhood, but yet keep unity in the appearance throughout the neighborhood. Additional landscaping has been proposed along the trail connection within the plat. Trail Connection Within the Haven Ridge plat a regional east/west trail was planned for connecting the Savage border to County Road 18. A trail section was also planned heading south to the proposed city park being proposed at the corner of the Summit Preserve and Haven Ridge plats. As a PUD benefit of Haven Ridge South, a trail loop is being proposed from this trail through Haven Ridge South and north along Wildflower Way. This trail will serve as a loop for this entire area and is a added benefit to the PUD.
