RALPH TESCHNER, FINANCE DIRECTOR
CONSIDER APPROVAL OF PRELIMINARY 1993 TAX LEVY
RESOLUTION 92-24
SEPTEMBER 8, 1992
INTRODUCTION:
Property tax legislation requires that each
"taxing authority" certify a proposed property
tax levy for payable 1993 to the County
Auditor on or before September 15, 1992. The
purpose is to allow the County adequate time
to prepare, calculate and mail notices of
proposed property taxes 'for the upcoming year
based upon the tax proposals of the County,
School District and city.
The parcel specific notices are expected to
present a comparison in exact dollars of the
property tax from this year to next plus a
percentage change. In addition to this
information, the date, time and place for the
scheduled public hearings of each of the
respective entities is shown.
DISCUSSION:
The budget public hearing dates selected and
reserved for the City of Prior Lake are Monday
December 7, 1992 and Tuesday December 15, 1992
in the event of a Council continuation. By
statute, the dates available must fall between
November 30th and December 21st. Also they may
not conflict with the County or School
District's selections which are the 8th, 14th
and 21st of December respectively. During this
time period the budget will formally be
discussed and acted upon.
However, it is essential for the City to
initially certify a reasonably sufficient
amount because once certified, a city is then
restricted to downward adjustments only and
can NOT increase its final levy. By adopting
this resolution, you are approvIng a tax
expenditure ceiling and providing ultimate
flexibility for your discussions this Fall.
Therefore, the amount of the proposed levy
within the resolution is based upon a proposed
cap of $3,064,825 which includes improvement
pro~ect debt levies of $322,000.00 It is
anticipated that such a levy will support a
preliminary general fund budget of $3,950,000.

~ EQUAL OPPO~UNITY ~P~R
This is based upon. a 9rojected 10.6% increase
over the current fiscal budget and represents
a maximum assumption.
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff would recommend approval of Resolution
92-24 certifying the City of Prior Lake's 1993
initial proposed property tax levy. The
Council took similar action last year.
ALTERNATIVES:
The alternatives are as follows:
1. Approve Resolution 92-24 as submitted.
2. Amend Resolution 92-24

to an amount per
ACTION REQUIRED:
Motion to approve Resolution 92-24 as part of
the consent agenda is in order.
CITY MANAGER NOTE: Greater detailed discussion on Resolution
92-24 will occur at the budget workshop.
Figures are therefore subject to change based
on the outcome of Council discussion.

RE: Equipment Purchase for Blood Pathogen Exposure
PROPOSAL TO PURCHASE EQUIPMENT USING CONTINGENCY FUND MONIES TO
BRING THE POLICE AND FIRE DEPARTMENTS INTO COMPLIANCE WITH POLICY
MANDATED BY THE OCCUPATIONAL AND SAFETY HAZARD ADMINISTRATION.
The police and fire department are requesting funds to
purchase equipment for and in a non public area to comply with
the OSHA mandates regarding exposure control for the emergency
first responder to bloodborne pathogens. This equipment will be
housed in the fire hall and used by both police and fire to
implement the plans each department has regarding exposure
control. The police department plan is attached to this proposal
for your reviewal. Areas have been highlighted to help you
understand the reasons for the request of these monies.
OSHA has mandated that all emergency first responding
agencies have policy and plans in place by August 5, 1992. These
plans are to eliminate or minimize the first responder exposure
to blood and other potentially infectious body fluids. Both
departments have plans and guidelines in place and are in the
training process of all emergency first responders.
Equipment needs that OSHA has mandated will be broken down
into two areas. One area will be known as Personal Protective
Equipment or PPE. The other area will be equipment to be used by
both departments in a non public area to comply with OSHA
regulations.
PPE includes equipment such as latex or vinyl gloves, eye
protection, ventilation devices, medical turnout gear and utility
gloves. Other equipment that each department will use and will
4629 Dakota St. S.E., Prior Lake, Minnesota 55372 / Ph. (612) 447-4230 / Fax (612) 447-4263
have to purchase are Sharps Containers for such things as
needles, warning labels for containers containing blood or other
potentially infectious material, red bags or containers for the
regulated waste, and cleansing fluids for on scene washing. All
of these items will be procured from present budgetary monies.
Items that will be purchased to comply with OSHA standards
and regulations include a heavy duty washer, heavy duty dryer, a
stainless steel sink, and a shower stall. These items have to in
an area that is away from any eating/drinking area, refrigerators
or food storage areas, or other such public places. The fire
department has set aside the back area of their station for this
equipment and will supply the labor to install these items. The
equipment will be kept separately from the rest of the fire hall
by putting in a wall or curtain to give privacy to the first
res~onder in need of these services. The following is a cost
estimate breakdown for the requested equipment:
Heavy Duty Washer
Heavy Duty Dryer
Shower Stall
Stainless Steel Sink
$450.00
$350.00
$500.00
$250.00
Approximate Request: $1,550.00
The reasons for each of above listed equipment is:
Washer and Dryer - Clothes and PPE that becomes contaminated
with blood or other potentially infectious materials has to be
removed as quickly after the incident as possible and bagged in a
special bag. The items cannot be taken home to be cleaned and
cannot be taken to a cleaning facility that does not meet OSHA
guidelines. Having the washer and dryer will fill two purposes.
It will allow for the cleaning of contaminated equipment and will
also be used for the fire department turn out gear. One fireman
has already had to leave his clothes at the hospital due to it
becoming contaminated. With proper facilities, clothing and
other equipment can be dealt with locally and can be readily put
back into service. (See page 6 and page 8)
Shower Stall - Numerous times ?olice and fire personnel are
covered with blood, saliva, regurgitate, and other bodily fluids
for medicals and vehicular accidents. This contamination should
be removed as soon as possible and should be removed in a place
where others may not come in contact with the contaminant. A
shower stall would allow police and fire personnel to remove
these contaminants at the station and not expose his/her family
to any possibility to contamination. (See page 4 and 5)
Stainless Steel Sink - Police and fire personnel will have a
place where they can wash their hands after an exposure incident.
A stainless steel sink is easy to maintain and will be in an area
not generally used by the public in the back of the fire hall.
Again this ~iece of equipment must be outside of an area where
eating, drinking, and other personal functions are done. The
proper handwashing materials will be kept at or near this sink to
give the first responder the facility to comply with the OSHA
guidelines. (See page 4 and 5)
Any questions pertaining to this proposal and the guidelines
set forth by OSHA can be directed to either us. The purchase of
this equipment is essential and should be purchased as quickly as
possible therefore a quick response to this proposal is
requested.

EMERGENCY FIRST RESPONDER
BLOOD PATHOGEN EXPOSURE CONTROL
PLAN JULY 1992
PURPOSE
To eliminate or minimize first responder exposure to blood and other potent'ally
infectious body fluids.
The exposure control Plan will be:
Reviewed and updated annually and whenever necessary to reflect
new or modified procedures, tasks, and/or new or revised employee
positions
Made available to all first responders
DEFINITIONS
Contaminated
Presence or reasonably anticipated presence of blood or other potentially
infectious materials on an item or surface.
Decontamination

pathogens on a surface or item to the point where they are no longer capable of
transmitting infectious particles and the surface is rendered safe for handling,
use, or disposal.
Engineering Controls
Controls (e.g. sharps disposal containers, self-sheathing needles) that isolate or
remove the bloodborne pathogens hazard from the workplace.
Exposure Incident
A specific eye, mouth or other mucous membrane, non-intact skin, or parenteral
contact with blood or other potent/ally infectious materials that results from the
performance of an employee's duties.
PRIOR LAKE POLICE DEPT. BLOODBORNE PATHOGEN CONTROL PLAN JULY, 1992

GUIDELINES FOR SELECTION AND USE .OF DISINFECTANTS
Taken from:
The Association for Practitioners in Infection Control (APIC)
Guidelines for Selection and Use of Disinfectants (1990)
Sterilization- complete elimination or destruction of all forms
.. of microbial life. Physical or chemical process
ie. dry heat, steam under pressure, ethylene oxide
Disinfection-
eliminates many or all pathogenic microorganisms
on inanimate objects exception bacterial spores.
Efficacy affected by many factors ie prior
cleaning, contamination, exposure to germicide,
etc.
CDC classification of chemical disinfectants:
High-level- destroy all microorganisms except high #
bacterial spores
Inter-level inactivates TB and vegetative bacteria, most -' virus, most fungi, not bacterial spores
Low-level
kill most bacteria,some virus, some fungi, not
resistant micro such as tubercle bacilli or
bacterial spores
Cleaning- removal all foreign material from object. Cleaning
must proceed disinfection and sterilization.
Germicide-agent that destroys microorganisms, particularly
pathogenic (illness causing)
Chemical sterilants~ used to destroy all forms of microbial life
Disinfectant- germicide that inactivates virtually all recognized
pathogenic microorganisms but not all microbial
life forms on inanimate objects
Germicides, including sterilants and disinfectants are registered
and regulated by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA)>
Can describe items to be disinfected as:
"critical"
-present a high risk of infec=ion if contaminated ie.
surgical inst., needles
recommend: use disposable or sterilize
"semicritical"
-those objects which come in contact with mucous membrane or non
intact skin ie. RT equip., anesthesia equip.,
Recommend: high level disinfection
"noncritical"
-th~se items which come into contact with intact skin but not
mucous membranes ie. blood pressure cuffs, surfaces, equipment
Recommend: iow level disinfectant
High level disinfectants:
Glutaraldehyde
Demand release chlorine dioxide
Hydrogen peroxide (stabilized) 6%
Sodium hypochlorite
Intermediate level disinfectants:
Ethyl or isopropyl alcohol

KAY SCHMUDLACH, ASSISTANT CITY MANAGER
CONSIDER APPROVAL OF AGREEMENT BETWEEN CITY OF
PRIOR LAKE AND ADVANCE RESOURCES FOR
DEVELOPMENT INC.
SEPTEMBER 8, 1992
INTRODUCTION:
BACKGROUND:
The City of Prior Lake is pursuing a
development with Rainbow Play Systems to
relocate their business into the new Business
Office Park. The reason for the relocation is
to provide for the retention and expansion of
the company. This agenda item is being
submitted to the Council to request funding
for an amount not to exceed $6,500.00 in order
to pursue an Economic Recovery Grant from the
State of Minnesota. Staff is recommending the
funding come from the Contingency Fund.
Since 1987 Rainbow Play Systems has identified
a need to expand their operation. The City
has considered the retention of this business
as a major priority over the last several
years and in part has encouraged the Business
Office Park pr?ject to ensure this and other
company expanslons.
Rainbow has been able to in their
stay . current
facility by separating the manufacturing from
the sales/retail part ~f their operation and
moving the later activity to Bloomington. The
relocation of the sales/retail, operation has
provided Rainbow Play Systems short term space
relief within their manufacturing plant, yet
increased their sales causing, once again, a
demand on the available space.
The possibility of the utility extension to
the existing ?ark where there present location
is, caused Rainbow to delay their search for a
new site. Now, since the extension of
utilities is not an immediate option, Rainbow
officials have contacted City staff about
negotiating for a site in the new park.

BUDGET IMPACT:
RECOMMENDATION:
ALTERNATIVES:
The Rainbow Play Systems expansion will
involve about 5 acres of land in the new
Business Office Park. Staff is interested in
assisting the development by_ ~roviding Tax
Increment Financing. In addition, Economic
Development Consultant R?ger Guegette has
indicated that this expansion is eligible for
an Economic Recovery Grant. The State has
indicated after a preliminary analysis that
this project could receive funding between
$200,00 - $300,00. The Grant is desirable
because of the value ($200,00 - $300,00) and
because of the flexibility in using the
funds. Grant funds can be used for a variety
of project expenses·
Because of the preliminary nature of the
development, staff is not in a position to
discuss details of financing package.
However, staff recommends the Council
authorize the funds not to exceed $6,500 to
process the Grant application. Staff will
structure the deal to include the repayment to
the City for the entire $6,500 consultant
fees.
The Contingency Fund has a balance of
approximately $80,000.00. The balance
following the approval of $6,500 will be
$73,500.00. Staff has not requested any
previous funding from the Contingency Fund to
cover any costs associated with the
development of the Business Office Park.
Staff is working with Advance Resources on a
similar agreement for Tax Increment Services.
This agreement will be introduced to the
Council at a later date.
Staff recommends Council appropriate $6,500
from the Contingency Fund to cover the costs
of applying for the Economic Recovery Grant.
The City Council has the following
alternatives:
The City Council can approve the
agreement between the City and Advance
Resources Inc. with an appropriation of
$6,500 from the Contingency Fund to cover
the costs.
The City Council can approve the
Development Agreement between the City
and Advance Resources Inc. and deny the
ACTION REQUIRED:
appropriation from the Contingency Fund.
In this scenario funds would come from
the Economic Development Budget. (No
money has been set aside for this
project.)
3. The City Council can deny the Agreement
and the request for funds from the
Contingency Fund.
A motion to approve the Consent Agenda would
constitute approval of Alternative #1, the
approval of the agreement between the City and
Advance Resources Inc. and the appropriation
of $6,500 from the Contingency Fund to cover
the costs to the agreement.

INTRODUCTION:
BACKGROUND:
DISCUSSION:
COMPREHENSIVE
PLAN IMPACT:
ALTERNATIVES:
RECOMMENDATION:
ACTION REQUIRED:
The Planning Department received a vacation
request from Viktors Konters. Mr. Konters
would like to construct a new single family
dwelling which straddles the lot lines of Lots
1 and 2. The easements abutting the property
lines prohibit development on top of them and
must be vacated prior to building the house.
Jefferson's First Addition is a new four lot
single family subdivision located within the
Shoreland District. Final plat was filed in
May 1992. Only one building permit has been
issued for the subdivision to date.
The site was vacant for many years prior to
subdivision. There would be no reason for
utilities to be located in the newly recorded
easement. City records indicate no recorded
easements on either Lot 1 or 2. Responses
received from a mailing sent to area utility
companies indicate there is no reason the
easements cannot be vacated.
The proposed vacation is not in conflict with
the current Comprehensive Plan. No adverse
effect is foreseen.
There are three alternatives:
1) Approve the vacation Resolution 92-26
as requested
2) Deny the vacation
3) Table the vacation and request staff to
provide further information
Staff recommends approval of the vacation as
submitted - Alternative # 1.
Motion to approve Resolution 92-26 is in order.

RE. ' Proposed Landscape Ordinance 92-10,
September 8, 1992 Council Meeting
Agenda Item 9,
The following City Manager's note is intended to accompany the
staff report for the discussion on the first draft of ~roposed
Landscape Ordinance 92-10. This additional information is
relevant to your consideration in the review and discussion of
proposed Ordinance 92-10. The reason for the preparation of the
Landscape Ordinance is twofold: 1) The introduction and
implementation of the Prior Lake Business/Office Park. The
Council action to proceed with the development of the
Business/Office Park will generate non-residential building
permit activity. 2) Currently no comprehensive landscaping and
screening standards exist in the Prior Lake Zoning Ordinance. To
date City staff has been involved in negotiations with building
permit applicants for landscape and screening standards. These
negotiations, because they are not set forth in an ordinance,
have occasionally led to intense discussion and disagreement.
This puts staff in an awkward position -- attempting to enforce
"a standard" which does not exist in policy or ordinance.
Incorporation of proposed screening and landscape standards
within the Zoning Ordinance will greatly assist City staff in
implementing the direction of the City Council with respect to
landscaping and screening requirements.
City staff elected not to ~repare the Landscape Ordinance on our
own. The rationale for this action is because we do not have the
expertise in this field to develop a comprehensive ordinance.
With the assistance of Westwood Professional Services (Greg
Kopischke, Landscape Architect) the attached draft has been
prepared. Mr. Ko~ischke has clients in both the private and
public sector and is involved in landscape architecture and
planning for the Westwood Professional Services firm. One of the
features in the development of this Ordinance was to prepare a
matrix of similar ordinances currently in effect with other
cities. The matrix offered city staff and the Planning
Commission an opportunity to review the text of the Ordinance
with respect to other existing ordinances. One of the overriding
themes addressed early in the ~reparation of Ordinance 92-10 was
to prepare.a document which wlll provide flexibility for an
applicant in landscape design and development.
City staff is recommending that the City Council adopt a
Landscape Ordinance. The extent and complexity of the Ordinance
truly depends upon the how detailed the City Council wants to be
with landscape and screening requirements. The first draft sets
forth a solid starting point for your discussion.

DEB GARROSS, ASSISTANT CITY PLANNER
CONSIDER REZONING AND COMPREHENSIVE
AMENDMENT FROM JIM ALLEN (WESTBUR¥ PONDS)
SEPTEMBER 8, 1992
PLAN
The ~urpose of this hearing is to consider an
application from James E. Allen, Allen Homes,
12433 Princeton Avenue South, Savage, MN
55378, to rezone and amend the comprehensive
land use plan for the subject site commonly
known as the "Simpkins Farm." The specific
request is to amend the comprehensive land use
plan map to. chang~ approximately 60 acres of
medium density residential land use to low
density land use. Subsequently, the applicant
requests that 16 acres of B-3, General
Business "Contract Zone" and 30 acres of R-3,
Multi-Family Residential zoned ~roperty be
rezoned to R-i, Single Family Residential, in
order to bring the zoning and land use plan
into compliance. The applicant does not
propose to rezone any of the 14 acres of land
currently zoned C-I, Conservation. See
attached Exhibits A and B for the respective
application forms.
The subject site consists of approximately 60
acres located west of Five Hawks Elementary
School, north of S.T.H. 13 and 170th Street
and east of The Willows Sixth Addition
subdivision. See Exhibit C for the subject
site area location map. The histor~ of the
parcel including p~evious, zo91ng agd
development proposals is outlined in Exhib%t
D, prepared by R.P. Smith. The analysis is
complete therefore staff will not expand upon
the historical issues relative to this
appl%cation. A copy of the Planning
Commission agenda report is attached for
further reference. See Exhibit E.
The Planning Commission held the public
hearing for the comprehensive plan amendment
and rezoning on August 6, 1992. A copy of the
minutes and attendance sheet are attached as
Exhibit F.

AN EQUAL OPPORTUNITY EMPLOYER
The public hearing was attended by nineteen
residents. Notice of the public hearing was
published in the Prior Lake American, mailed
to 200 residents, adjacent governmental units
and signs were posted on site indicating that
the ~roperty is under consideration for
rezonlng. Please note that this hearing does
not constitute a hearing on the actual
subdivision. Upon successful completion of
the comprehensive plan amendment and rezoning,
it is the intent of Mr. Allen to file an
application for subdivision of Westbury Ponds.
Staff requested that the applicant provide a
concept drawing indicating that it is possible
to subdivide the property %nto single family
homes as per the rezonlng request. The
applicant has been working with staff for
approximately six weeks in anticipation of
submitting a subdivision proposal. Exhibit G
indicates the concept plan submitted to the
Planning Commission on August 6, 1992. The
concept plan has been changed to address some
of the issues presented at the public hearing
and the revised concept plan is labeled
Exhibit H. Please be advised that staff has
not reviewed the concept plan in terms of the
subdivision ordinance. More extensive
materials and a complete application are
necessary prior to the formal subdivision
review process. It is likely that the concept
plan will be changed during the subdivision
process after input is received from
neighborhood meetings, future public hearings
and input from affected governmental units.
The Planning Commission and residents in
attendance discussed the importance of park
and trail systems through the site to connect
to the elementary school. Residents were
concerned about increased traffic and
questioned when future road connections to
Five Hawks Avenue, and Duluth Avenue would be
constructed. The majority of comments
concerned the proposed concept plan. The
audience was in general, supportive of the
downzoning from R-3 to R-1. However, several
residents were concerned about rezoning the
commercial property. Staff informed the
attendees that the B-3 zone is not a true
business zone but is in fact, limited by a
contractual agreement which permits only a
handful of uses in the district. Staff also
ALTERNATIVES ·
RECOMMENDATION:
advised the audience that the City is in the
process of developing a business office park
and anticipates future commercial development
to take place on existing land in the Highway
13 corridor, and in other areas identified in
the draft 2010 Comprehensive Plan. Following
the explanation, the audience appeared to be
satisfied with the request to rezone the
contract zone to R-1 Single Family
Residential. The specific comments offered by
members of the audience are reflected in the
Planning Commission minutes (Exhibit F).
Affirm the decision of the Planning
Commission to rezone and amend the
comprehensive land use plan as requested
by the applicant.
Table the issue for specific reasons.
Deny one or both of the applications for
specific reasons.
Alternative #1
"Motion by Arnold, second by Wuellner, to
recommend to the City Council the approval of
the amendment to the comprehensiv? plan for
Westbury Ponds from medium density to low
density residential and that the zoning map
should be amended to reflect a rezoning of the
site from R-3, Multi-family residential and
B-3 General Business to R-i, Single Family
Residential. Rationale being that low density
residential is consistent with the
neighborhood and the level of infrastructure
available to the site and the zon%ng should be
amended to reflect the change in land use
designation to be consistent with the
Comprehensive Plan."
Staff recommends that the
conditions upon approval
application:
Council place two
of the rezoning
The rezoning should be contingent upon
receipt of Metropolitan Council
authorization to amend the comprehensive
plan.
The applicant should be required to
submit a new legal description of the
existing R-3 zoned property proposed to
be rezoned to R-1. The legal description
submitted with the application and
published, incorrectly identified the
150' x 1,050' strip of C-i, Conservation
ACTION REQUIRED:
land located along the west side yard
line of the School District property, as
R-3, Multiple Residential zoned land.
The applicant does not propose to rezone
any of the C-i, Conservation district.
The published legal notice is valid
because the property description
encompasses the entire subject site.
However, the applicant must provide a
corrected legal description of the site
proposed to be zoned R-1 That legal
description will consist o~ the published
R-3 metes and bounds description,
excluding the 150' x 1,050' strip of C-i,
Conservation District land. Staff will
incorporate the correct legal description
into Ordinance form, to be formally
adopted by the City Council at a later
date.
If it is the decision of the Council to
approve the rezoning, a motion is in order.
Please note, that the rezoning should be
contingent upon conditions 1 and 2, outlined
above. A separate motion to approve the
comprehensive land use change is recommended.

History_ of the Westbury Ponds Parcel
Pre 1981
Jul. 20, 1981
Aug. 1, 1985
Original 1980 Guide Plan Classification indicates a medium density for the
entire parcel. The density as suggested by the Comprehensive Plan ranges
from 4 to 8 units per acre. The original zoning for the parcel is R-l, Iow
density residential, at 0-4 units per acre.
Prior Lake City Council adopts resolution to rezone approximately 64 acres
of land from R-1 Iow density to a combination of 13-3 General Business
(with contract agreements to greatly limit uses) and R-3 high density
residential of up to 16 units per acre. Additionally, a request to amend the
Comprehensive plan was not approved to change the designation from
medium density residential to high density residential.
Prior lake City Council adopts resolution to vacate Dreyfus and rededicate
as Willows lane with new alignment. Willows 4th and 5th additions
compressive plan and rezone to R-1 Iow density residential (west of
Willows Lane). East of Willows Lane (west side of this, subject parcel)
down zone from R-3 to R-1 Single family residential. Minor comp. plan
amendment (under 40 acres) to reflect down zoning change.
o
GENERAL SITE ANALYSIS
Topography of the site is generally sloping from highway 13 north, and draining is into a Type
III wetland on the north end of the site. Most of the slopes on the site are within 0%-6%.
However, on the northeast corner of the site behind the school and extending on to the school
property, slopes increase in severity to 50%. Vegetation on the site is primarily cultivated
row crop fields. The soils range from sand loam to silty clay loam and pockets of silty clay.
There are two DNR wetlands on the north end of the site the combined size is approximately
7.68 acres. These wetland drain to the east and then into Prior Lake. The down stream drainage
area is presently under study by the City of Prior Lake to determine storage capacities, flow
rate, runoff intensity, etc. These wetland are a valuable resource to only as a water shed to
increase water quality of down stream Prior Lake, but also to the surrounding neighborhoods
and the school as an open space amenity.
Surrounding Land Use/Zoning
The present zoning of this parcel is R-3 high density residential and B-3 "contract agreed" B-3
General Business. The parcel immediately to the west as previously mentioned has been down
zoned to R-1 Iow density residential and has single family home built on it. The wetlands to the
North are zone C-1...conservation district. Five elementary School in the north east corner is
also zoned C-1 and is a permissible use in the C-1 district. The land southeast of the site
between highway 13 and the this parcel is zoned, and partially built out with town houses.
Shore Line Management District
The most northwesterly corner of the site may by within the 1000 foot setback of the OHWL of
Prior Lake. However, at the time of this write that line has not been determined.
Existing Trans_oortation Systems
This parcel is bounded on the south side by approximately 1600 feet of State Aid Highway 13.
However, additional access to the highway must be limited to the present streets for safety.
Traffic and circulation requirements were identified in the Wilson Management Study conducted
in 1985. The study was prepared to provide realistic guidelines for the preparation of a plan
addressing land use, circulation, and other development considerations. The study identified
both short and long term recommendations. The Metropolitan Council categorizes Prior Lake as
a free standing community by its separation from the urban center. Additionally, with respect
to development, Prior Lake is defined as an automobile oriented community. From the Wilson
study: 'Seventy nine percent 79% of the residents must travel toward the urban centers to
support a lifestyle hear." Most of the residents of Prior Lake live north of this site resulting in
only 29% of the residents passing by. A particular objective should be to place limits on the
business strip, particularly on the south end of the City where traffic volumes are reduced.
6.
In the Five Hawks Neighborhood County Road 12 or 170th Street is considered a secondary
traffic circulation system the most recent count from 1989 reflects approximately 4700 ADT
on 170th at 13, and 9200 ADT on 13 Just north of 170th. The Highway 13 Alignment runs
diagonal to 170th, and 170th does not line up with the street on the east side of 13. This results
in an off set and diagonal not signaled intersection (however traffic counts do not warrant
signalization). As an objective is to relieve Highway 13 traffic of as much unnecessary traffic
as possible. An alternative roadway can be utilized to link separate neighborhoods. A roadway
connection from Willow Lane to Five Hawks Avenue and Five Hawks Elementary School would
relieve congestion at the 170th Street and Highway 13 intersection, and link the neighborhoods
to the north and west to the school.
The site is sen/ed by adequate City water and sanitary sewer in Willow Lane and in Five Hawks
Avenue.
General Analysis/Conclusion
The business clusters along Highway 13: Gateway Center, Town Center, Priordale Mall and
McDonalds reflect the zoning and land use intended although they are a collection of unrelated
business centers. The subject site was rezone in 1981 from R-1 to R-3 and B-3 which
substantially increased the available inventory of high density traffic generators, but these
developments did not materialize. In fact a significant change the Five Hawks Neighborhood and
part of the original parcel/zoning district is the "down zoning" of the subdivisions on Willow
Lane from R-3 high density residential back to the original R-1 Iow density residential in
1985. The most damaging aspect to the B-3 district is the intersection of 170th and Highway
13. If the B-3 were to be developed a substantial change to the acute angles of the intersection
will be necessa~7 to create one signalized intersection.
ORIGINAL ZO#INGICOMPREHENSIVE PLAN DESIGNATION
The pre 1981 z~'ting designated the parcel at R-1 Iow density residential use. Because of the
lands gentle slopes, inward aspect (away from highway 13) the Type !11 wetlands, and Five
Hawks Elementary School. The 1980 Comprehensive plan designated the site as medium density
residential 4-8 units per acre which accommodates the single family zoning. However, the
medium density designation would yield 520 multiple units, based on the 1981 site of 65 acres.
If the Compreheesive plan were consistent with the zoning at Iow density 0-4 units per acre the
yield would be 260 single family units, based on the 1981 65 acre site.
After examining the site, a conclusion can be derived that the original zoning took into
consideration the natural features of the site, the surrounding existing single family
7.
neighborhoods to the west and north, the reduced storm water runoff associated with single
family development and the proximity to Five Hawks Elementary School. Single family
development has the potential to produce overall lower traffic volumes generated by a site then
multi family.
EXISTING COMPREHENSIVE PLAN/ZONING CLASSIFICATION
The present comprehensive plan designates approximately 60 acres as medium density
residential. Which is significantly different from the 1981 rezoning which changed the site to
R-3andB-3. This action was adopted by the City of Prior Lake on July 20, 1981, as a result
of the petition by Willow Lane Properties, Inc., Thomas L. Steffens, President. The following
reasons were used to justify the change in zoning classification:
The property is adjacent to highway 13 which would result in a substantial
volume of driveby traffic to support general business.
"the request for rezoning to commercial designation and R-3 is also based u_oon
economic considerations and the past developmental history of Prior Lake"
"inordinately large number of single family lots with improvements and utilities
in"
4. 'the recent de-regulation of the home mortgage industry and current prevailing
high rate of home loan mortgage rates"
5. 'the relative unavailability of home loan mortgage money'
6. "the spiraling cost of single family dwellings"
7. 'the pent-up demand for home ownership; and"
8. "the growing acceptance over the last decade of condominium/townhouse
ownership"
History has made it clear that these reasons were based in the economics of an individual
developer with incorrect reference data. That proposal was not based on sound planning
principles of the best use of the site, traffic management, site and neighborhood impact,
wetland/runoff impact, and future commercial absorption rate.
The 1981 proposal as reflected in the June 22, 1981 City Council minutes would yield 450
town house and condominium units on approximately 35 acres and B1 ,B2, B3 on the full length
of Highway 13. The June 15, '81 staff report to Planning Commission noted "if rezoned to R-3
the City would relinquish virtually all of its control over pending development". Additionally,
in the same report 'currently the need does not exist for more commercial property in Prior
Lake as experienced by the lack of interest in construction in existing commercially zoned
property." The planning commission minutes also noted "staff recommended to eliminate the
commercial zoning from this proposal".
All of these points have illustrated that there was considerable doubt that the 1981 proposal by
Willow Properties, Inc. would be the best use for the land.
8.
The final rezoning approval was to adopt an average density of 10 units per acre, resulting in a
total of 450 town house and condominium units. The final out come of the BI, B2, B3 proposal
was a contract zoning agreement limiting permitted B-3 uses, signed in August 1981.

Note of Discre_oancy
The Comprehensive Plan was not amended in 1981 to bring the Comp. Plan up to date with the
above zoning. The reason was stated in the May 21, 1981 Planning Commission Minutes: "He
stated that because the Comprehensive Plan is so recent it would be unlikely that an amendment
to accommodate the proposal would receive favorable recommendation."
PROPOSED REGUIDING AND REZONING OF THE PROPERTY INCLUDING
RELATIONSHIP TO DEVELOPMENT CRITERIA
The application is to reguide the above mentioned subject parcel, presently designated as
medium density residential 4-8 units per acre to the Iow density residential designation.
Additionally, this application is to rezone the same area classified as B-3 General Business and
R-3 High Density Residential back to the original zoning of R-1 Iow density residential
classification. This duel amendment will bring the entire parcel into conforming designations,
and the designations will be contiguous with the zoning and use of the land to the west and north
across the wetland.
To determine the appropriateness of individual categories of land uses, guidelines or criteria
must be designed to measure the effects on neighborhoods, pedestrian and vehicular circulation,
community facilities, size of developments, boundaries and corresponding zoning classifications.
The Low Density Residential boundaries can be defined in several ways: by arterial street or
highways, natural boundaries such as wetlands, lakes, ridges and forested areas. Changes in
landuse such as schools, or larger parks also define neighborhood boundaries.
Within a neighborhood well defined walkways should be established to connect neighborhoods
with major public and private neighborhood facilities. Such facilities include schools, parks,
9.
transit stops, churches, end convenience shopping. Vehicular circulation should provide e safe
and convenient traffic flow were possible. The development must be compatible with the
topography and vegetation of the site and area.
The community facilities of parks, playgrounds and open spaces can function as a neighborhood
identifier or community resource. A maximum lot coverage by buildings should not exceed 15%
to 20%. The requirement of City utilities be available to the site to support the development
will limit 'leap frog development".
This development criteria supports the pre 1981 zoning of R-1 Low Density Residential, and
this application of Comprehensive Plan and zoning amendment to Iow Density and R-1.
The entire parcel as illustrated in the attached "concept Plan" can support single family housing
with a minimum lot size of 10,000 square feet at a density of 0-4 units per acre. The site has
adequate public utility services to it with the capacity to support this single family landuse
category.
The desired pedestrian linkage on this site would be east west to link Five Hawks Elementary
School to the Willow Lane neighborhood to the west. The wetland on the north edge of the site is
actually 2 wetlands separated by a wooded nob about 400 feet across. This open space functions
as a buffer between the school and the Spring Green subdivision. In the future this
wetland/open space will not only define the the north edge of this development of "Westbury
Ponds, but will be a neighborhood identifier. The school playground defines the northwest
boundary and transitions this development to the school building a distance ranging from 250
feet to 600 feet.
This plan has an emphasis on convenient and safe vehicular access from Willow Lane to Five
Hawks Avenue (discussed later in this narrative). This development is a scale which public
transit, school buses, and community trail systems can be applied.
The above criteria for single family development establishes that the development relates to
most of the terrain and other natural features. The development adequately buffers most
adverse impacts of external effects. To support this point, the northeast corner of the site has
sever slopes. Intense pedestrian and vehicular use should be restricted from this area. During
the development stage of the project a berm and plant screen can be established to enhance the
buffering between highway 13 and the lots. Additionally, deeper lots are designated in this area
to add an element of distance to more effectively transition and buffer the highway.
10.
DESCRIPTION OF PROPOSED SINGLE FAMILY PLAN
Shown on the'concept plan' for Westbury Ponds as submitted as part of this application for
informal review. The proposed single family subdivision of Westbury Ponds consists of 120
single family lots. The minimum lot size permissible by R.1 zoning is 10,000 with 80 foot
wide lots at the setback line. in the concept plan the lot and street configuration generally
conforms to the natural topography and constraints of the wetlands. The internal street system
is generally a loop system of parallel curved streets. The major consideration of the street
system is the direct link between willows Lane and Five Hawks Avenue. This is through street
with a minimum number of lots fronting on it.
The total site is 59.80 acres including wetlands. The wetlands =13.53 acres, resulting in a
developable site of 46.27 aces. This concept plan has 120 single family lots with a gross unit
density of 2.00 units per acre. The net density is calculated using the total site area minus the
wetland and right of way area, resulting in 36.56 acres or 3.28 units per acre net.
EFFECTS OF PROPOSED SINGLE FAMILY VERSUS R-3 AND B-3 DESIGNATIONS ON
SURROUNDING PROPERTY
Storm Water runoff
As shown on the 1981 concept plan, (attached) the scenario would make use of massive
condominium and apartment complexes, townhouse development and business developments.
Although, the zoning ordinance restricts these developments to 30% building coverage, these
developments have a much higher impervious ratio associated with them. The impervious areas
are large parking lots, retaining walls, massive roof areas, and sidewalks. Conservatively, the
impervious surface area will be 50% at a minimum with the potential for 60% to 80%
impervious area. Although, large green areas can be associated with tall condos and apartments,
generally the taller the buildings the high the cost ratio. With this in mind and generally the
inappropriateness of very tall residential units in fringe development areas, one can expect Iow
spread out buildings with minimal green space associated with the 1981 plan. Consequently,
the runoff from the 1981 plan would dramatically increase the impact on the wetland and
increase the net volume and rate of storm water runoff on down steam facilities.
Conversely, the single family development would have less Impact on the wetland in terms of
volume and rate of storm water runoff, and reduce the down stream impact. The siltation and
non point pollution would be reduced as a direct effect of a reduced impervious area. The zoning
ordinance limits the building coverage to 18% additional impervious areas of driveways and
patios may increase the impervious areas to a total of 25% of the lot size. The green space
between each house would reduce the direct runoff into the storm system.
11.
The Visual environment would be greatly impacted by any large condo/apartment town house
complex from all angles. The greatest visual impact would be on highway 13 and to the
elementary school. All the land to the west and north of this area is single family residential.
There would be no visual barriers across the wetland and to the back yards of the homes on
Willow Lane to screen the structures associated with R-3 and B-3. In the B-3 district good
design standards and policies would prevail resulting in building facades of brick and glass. But
the B-3 buildings would be oriented to highway 13 on the highest point of the site. The building
could be as tall as 40 feet above the ground. The rear of such buildings are usually concrete
block, service doors, truck parking and loading areas, and trash receptacles. These area would
be exposed to the school and all the surrounding neighborhoods to the north and west. Landscape
screening would be possible in this area. However, the plantings would by place on the lowest
area of the site and provide limited functional use. Additionally, it would take pine trees 15 to
20 years to grow to sufficient height to screen the B-3 use from the surrounding
neighborhoods.
The reguiding and rezoning of this area to Low Density Residential and R-1 designation would
allow a homogeneous use of the wetland edges and surrounding landuses of single family to the
west and north. The R-1 use would also result in a Iow impact on the elementary school to the
east. Several lots in the Westbury Ponds concept back up to highway 13. Additional depth has
been provided for these lots. This increased depth will provide sufficient area to construct a
berm (a solid visual and noise buffer) and install plant screening.
EFFECTS ON LOCAL COMMUNITY T.RANSPORTATION SYSTEMS
Regardless of the land use type associated with this parcel, the intersection at highway 13 and
170th remains diagonal and offset.
Although, a traffic study was not prepared as part of the 1981 proposal (nor with this
application of Westbury Ponds) The attached trip assessment was generated to indicate the
relational impact on the surrounding street systems of the assumed uses. The assumed used
were based on the 1981 landuse concept vs. the 120 lot single family Westbury Ponds concept.
Average Daily Trips (ADT) were computed using recommendations by the Trio Generation
Manual. Institute of TransDortation Encjineeril~g 4th Edition. 1987.

The trip generation types shown do not reflect existing background traffic on Highway 13,
Willow Lane, 170th Street and Five Hawks Avenue. The most current traffic counts available
for highway 13 and 170th are from 1989. 170th Street just west of highway 13 has a traffic
count of 4,700 ADT and on highway 13 between 170th and Five Hawks Avenue is 9,700 ADT.
The above B.3 trip assessment study shows 6,690 ADT as a result of the B-3 zoning. The 1 981
design illustrates all the B-3 traffic accessing onto Highway 13. The townhouse/condominium
and apartment site would generate approximately 2,700ADT. Virtually all of theR-3
residential 2,700 ADT would flow to 170th Street and eventually on to highway 13 at the
diagonal intersection.The resulting traffic on 170th combining the background and R-3 traffic
has the potential of reaching 7,400 ADT.
13.
After evaluating directional destination approximately 80% of the R-3 traffic would turn north
adding to the back ground Highway 13 and B-3 traffic between 170th and Five Hawks Avenue.
This approximate resulting ADT would be 18,550 ADT.
The street intersection design that presently exists at 170th and highway 13 would not
accommodate such a traffic rate. If the 1981 scenario were persued a radical and very costly
rerouting of 170ffi Street to Five Hawks Avenue would be necessary (frontage road).
13 Business Str'_~
A study of the highway "13 Business Strip" was formulated in the late 1980's. That study
addressed the concerns and appropriateness of the Bo3 district and to some extent the R-3
district in addition to the entire highway 13 business strip. The attached sketch labeled 13
business ~;triD is a possible scenario to reroute streets to form frontage roads, contiguous
through intersections, and signalization. The cost to implement only this intersection and street
change was estimated at nearly $700,000.00 dollars in 1986 dollars. The only reason to add a
frontage road and signalization is to accommodate extensive increase in ADT due to the 1981
design concept. As stated in the "13 Business Strip" report "The other link removed from the
proposed circulation system lies northwest of Highway 13 between 170th Street and Duluth
Avenue. The need for this has been reduced by the land use change proposed adjoining Five
Hawks School. Because additional business use is not recommended, a frontage road becomes less
important particularly when several residential properties could be put unnecessarily at risk."
Westbury. Ponds
After evaluating the Westbury Ponds trip assessment study the site would generate
approximately 1,200 ADT total. The expected distribution of the Westbury Ponds traffic would
be approximately 70% to Five Hawks and 25 % to Willow Lane. 70% or 840 ADT will pass
through the intersection of Five Hawks Avenue and Highway 13. Five Hawks Avenue is a single
family neighborhood with an elementary school and and church. 840 ADT will not hinder the
present intersection flow at Five Hawks. Additionally, 170th at highway 13 will not require a
reconfiguration or signalization.
14.
WASTE WATER FLOW ANALYSIS
The purpose of this section is to estimate and compare the reserve capacity wastewater
discharge that would result In the development of the site at the expanded medium density
residential land use and the proposed Low density residential land use
Prior Lake Sanitary_ Sewer Calculations
The Prior Lake Comprehensive Sanitary Sewer Policy Plan was used to estimate the anticipated
wastewater flows for the land use type of Medium Density Residential and Low Density
Residential. The following flows were determined by applying unit flow rates to each land use
category:
~ Persons oer urlit .~ Gu~ Units/Ac
GCD GUD
Med. Den. Resid'l 2.9 85 247 10,0
Low Den. Resid'l 2.9 85 247 2,0
The City of Prior Lake's Comprehensive Guide Plan indicates that areas guided Medium Density
Residential have a recommended density of 4-8 units per acre. Rather than using a general unit
density, these calculations are based on the actual number of units per acre approved in 1981
for this site of 10 units per acre or a total of 450 units.
Additionally, The Low Density Residential has a Comprehensive Guide plan recommendation of
0-4 units per acre. Once again, rather then estimating the units per acre, the Iow density
calculation for this is based on the proposed density for this site. The total units proposed for
this site is 120 single family lots at a gross density of 2.00 units per ace. The net density (the
total site area minus the right of ways and wetlands) is 3.28 units per acre.
Therefore, the total estimated flow for the 1981 concept would be:
450 units x 247 GUD = 111.150 gallons Der day
Therefore, the total estimated flow for the WESTBURY PONDS CONCEPT:
120 units x 247 GUD = 29.640 gallons Der day
MWCC FLOW ANALYSIS
This section is based on the ordinance adopted by the Metropolitan Waste Control Commission,
MWCC, Reserve Capacity Charge Manual revised in 1992. The MWCC has developed Service
Availability Charge SAC criteria based upon the potential discharge of 274 gallons of wastewater
15.
flow to the Metropolitan discharge system per day. Single family houses,
townhouses/condominiums and duplex units each comprise one SAC unit. The number of SAC
units for other uses are determined based upon their estimated daily wastewater flow. The
commission has developed standard criteria for determining SAC units for various business,
commercial, and industrial facilities. This criteria is based upon recommendation and standards
developed by the Minnesota Department of Health, The state Building Code, and the U.S.
Department of Health and Welfare. These recommendations are supported by actual flow data
from similar facilities in the Metropolitan area.
* One sac unit equals 274 gallons of wastewater per day.
* One Single family unit equals one SAC unit.
Two motels moms equal 1 SAC unit.
Full service family restaurant: 8 seats equal one SAC unit.
* Retail... Drug store Liquor store every 3,000 square feet equal I SAC unit.
* Convenience store every 3,000 square feet equals 1 SAC unit.
* Bank w/Drive-in window every 2,400 square feet equals one SAC unit.
* Mini golf equals 3 SAC units.
* Daycare facility every 14 children equals 1 SAC unit.
The 1981 B-3 scenario approved several land uses. The above uses are generally permitted or
conditionally permitted in this area. These uses are the same as identified in the trip
assessment section of this narrative.

In reviewing the projected wastewater flows it should be noted that the proposed single family
development of WESTBURY PONDS would significantly reduce the amount of wastewater flow to
the Metropolitan Disposal Facility. The reduction would by approximately 100,411 gallons per
day.
MERIT BEYOND THE INTERESTS OF THE DEVELOPER
In 1981 when the zoning was changed from R-1 to R-3 and B-3 a grand scheme to increase the
residential and business climate of Prior Lake was proposed. But, today the reality of the
intense development illustrated the resulting high traffic impact in the intersection of 170th
Street and highway 13.
Because of the stronger environmental legislation and better storm water management, high
impervious districts are difficult to manage. As development increases in the metropolitan area
the MWCC is constantly searching for ways to manage flows and treatment facilities and better
serve the residence of the Twin Cities This proposal of WESTBURY PONDS will reduce the flow
rate or atleast give the city of Prior Lake the ability to reallocate some of the flow to other or
new proposals.
HIGHEST AND BEST USE OF THE[ SITE
As illustrated in the attached narrative and graphics, the original zoning of R-1 for this area
was Low Density Residential for good planning reasons of site restrictions due to wetlands,
transportation issues, wetlands, utility capacities and soil constraints.
The land was rezoned in 1981 to R-3 and B-3, but the need for this highly intense Landuse did
not nor still, does not exist. Because of the restrictive nature of the Metropolitan Council,
MWCC, Highway Department, and possible the metropolitan Service Area (MUSA) all land for
residential use is rapidly running short. This area is now ready for development as single
family residential use. The proposed single family use is similar to the uses surrounding to the
west, north and to the northeast beyond Five Hawks Elementary School.
The transportation issues are obvious. If the site were to remain B-3 and R-3 uses the
surrounding street systems would require extensive modification at the intersection of 170th
Street and Highway 13. If the site were to be reguided and rezoned to Low density Residential
and R-1 WESTBURY PONDS as proposed would create a loop street system connecting The
Willow Lane Neighborhoods to Five Hawks Avenue without creating the need to enter on to
Highway 13.
The reguiding and rezoning of this land will bring the landuse into conformity with the several
neighborhoods that have remained from years before.

PLANNING REPORT
COMPREHENSIVE PLAN AMENDMENT AND REZONING
WESTBURY DEVELOPMENT CORPORATION
HORST W. GRASER, DIRECTOR OF PLANNING
X YES NO
A0~UST 6, 1992
SITE ANALYSIS
INTRODUCTION:
Westbury Development Corporation has submitted an application for
a Comprehensive Plan Amendment and Rezoning for approximately 60
acres of vacant land in the Five Hawks neighborhood (see attached
maps for location). The 1981 Comprehensive Plan designates the
subject site as medium density residential with some natural open
space in the northeast corner of the site. The zoning of the
subject site is a combination of C-i, R-3, and B-3, which is
inconsistent with the comprehensive plan.
The applicant has actively summarized the facts and issues in the
application (attached). The objective of the applicant is to
obtain the necessary amendments and develo~ a single family
neighborhood. A concept subdivision plan is attached for
purposes of reference only. Any discussion relative to
subdivision design should be deferred until the appropriate
hearing has been scheduled.
HISTORY/BACKGROUND:
The 1981 Comprehensive Plan designated the subject site to medium
density residential as well as other vacant properties in the
Five Hawks and Spring Lake Willows neighborhoods. In 1981, the
Council rezoned the subject site to R-3 and B-3 (its current
zoning). The B-3 zone was modified via a contract with the
applicant and City. Development plans for the site were
prepared, however, the developer grossly misread the market for
R-3 and B-3 land and eventually went bankrupt leaving behind a
development plan that had little or no market and poorly
designed. The property had been assessed and was accruing
assessments and taxes which are now 7 or 8 years delinquent.
The 1981 Comprehensive Plan is a document that is generally
vague, lacks direction, and is outdated. Although the document
containz the required elements of long range planning, it lacks
the detail and ~pecificity needed to guide development. A copy
of the 1981 plan is attached which describes the Five Hawks
neighborhood.

AN EQUAL OPPORTUNITY EMPLOYER
PHYSIOGRAPHY:
The composition of the property can be distinguished by two soil
categories. About 13 acres of marsh (DNR Type III Wetland) form
the northern border and gently sloping clay and loam encompass
the remainder of the site. Some steep slopes are present in the
transition area between the two categories. Considerable
overstory forms a vegetative ring around the marsh. The
remaining 47 acres are being cropped.
ADJACENT USES:
The subject site is the largest vacant property in the Five
Hawks neighborhood and along the STH 13 strip. This large
remnant property borders a variety of different land uses leaving
one with the thought of a multiple use development. The site
borders STH 13 on the south by about 1600 feet. Five Hawks
Elementary School forms the east border. A 13 acre wetland is
the northern border with single family detached homes to the east
of the site. A single use development will require sensitive
innovative ideas to respect and mitigate the positive and
negative aspects of adjacent uses.
PLANNING CONSIDERATIONS
Every no~ and then opportunities appear that will resolve major
land use issues. This is one of those opportunities. It is
highly unlikely that the subject site with its current zoning,
subdivision requirements, contract zone, and size is developable
in the near future.
The market for R-3 land in Prior Lake is almost non-existent at
the present time. There are about 30 acres of R-3 zoning on the
site that can generate a total of 420 units. Altogether there
are only 340 apartment units in all of Prior Lake. The market
for attached single family units is equally flat and is expected
to remain flat.
It is doubtful that the 16 acres of restricted B-3 zone along STH
13 will find a market in the next 10 to 20 years. It is highly
likely that the County Road 83 corridor will develop into
community identifying gaming and recreational land uses with
supportive commercial. The street system, intersections and
parks currently in place to support the existing zoning are
inadequate and would require substantial upgrading to accommodate
demand. The systems impact of a low density development is
consistent with the infrastructure already in place and would not
~lace pressure on the community to prematurely fund
improvements.
Prior Lake's current Comprehensive Plan Draft calls for the
subject site to be designated medium density residential which
does permit both single and two family development at a reduced
lot size. The proposed designation is in part reflective of the
difficulty in downzoning. A low density designation is totally
consistent with the neighborhood and the level of infrastructure.
The effects of downzoning have been analyzed by the applicant on
pages 11-14 of the application.
Attached to this report are several pages taken from the draft
Comprehensive Plan which reflect community goal~ and objectives.
In addition, greater detail is provided translating the general
goals and objectives into specific design criteria. The
applicant has been furnished with these pages to aid in the
design and development of the site.
RECOMMENDATION:
Low density development is clearly the choice to complete the
development of the Five Hawks neighborhood. The residential
development between STH 13 and Prior Lake is predominantly single
family. It is prudent to continue this predominant pattern
rather than continue to plan for densities that have no market
share and are unpopular with neighborhood residents. Also Prior
Lake's supply of R-3 zoned and B-3 zoned is sufficient to meet
the needs of the next 10-15 years.
The Zoning Code should be amended to reflect the change in land
use designation to be consistent with the Comprehensive Plan. It
should be noted that the approximate 13 acres of marsh will
remain as C-1 Conservation Zoning.
1981 ~MP~$IVE PLAN
high school which aze situated on adjoining sites. The neighborhood also
includes a large scale planned unit develolm~ent, which was given preliminary
approval but to date has had no develol=nent activity. Tais K~)has the
potential to be a rather good example of housing diversity, ccn~ercial services
and open space arranged to protect existing land forms within one neighborhood.
With 160 acres to develop, densities may be transferred away fr~m steep slopes
and land with unstable soils to more regular sites which will include several
apart:uent buildings and rehouses. The pro~ neighborhood c~,~,ercial center
is likely to provide service to adjoining neighborhoods as well. The southern
portion of this neigh~rbood, including the proposed Greerbriar PUD is currently
in agricultural production. These agricultural areas represent more than 50% of
the neighborhood land area. Markley Neighborhood can therefore accommodate a
significant portion of community growth over the next 20 years. It has a
holding capacity of approximately 2,100 people. Because the neighborhood is
situated inmediately ~orth of the only existing industrial development in Prior
Lake, it could offer opportunities for Iow and moderate cost housing. Medium
density development is rec~w,ended along County Road 12.
Like Markley, South. Neighborhood is approximately 50% developed. When
developed, the re~aining agricu/tural land cou/d provide housing diversity by
including low and moderate incase opportunities as well as sa~e high density
areas. The recommended high density areas include land bounded by Highway 13,
Franklin Trail and Credit River Road plus a relatively s~all area southeast of
Brooksville Center. Already, approximately 20% of the residential land is
designated within the highest density residential zoning category. Of this
approximately one third has been developed. South neighborhood is unique among
the proposed residential areas in Prior Lake, in that it is close to a variety
of employment centers. It adjoins the Downto~l area in the northwest corner,
Brooksville Center in the southwest corner and the only developed industrial
land in the southeast corner. The residential holding capacity exceeds 1,900
people. The City has purchased a large recreation area of approximately 70
acres i~m~ediately to the south of this neighborhood. Ten ball fields will be
constr~cted as soon as access problens have been overcome.
The boundaries are formed by State Highway 13 to the south and east, Prior Lake
and Simpkins Marsh t:o the north and the west line of Section TWo to the west.
Named for the Five Hawks Elementary School, the neighborhood is a geographic
area which has no interior circulation syst~ linking its scattered
subdivisions. The lake frontage was developed many y~ars ago and currently
includes many seasonal cabins. While many w~re converted to year around use,
those that remtin ~m]J~proved should be replaced since they do not provide
adequate shelter. The subdivision away from the lake represent much more recent
development and conta/n no serious deterioration. Because the elementary school
site is so large, the neighborhood will not need additional open space.
However, saae form ~f a joint powers agreement must be adopted which provides
for recreation use unrelated to school activity. The neighborhood also is
conveniently located to a full range of shopping facilities. Medi~ density
housing is reccmme~ throughout the neighborhood.
DR FI'
4. The business district should be u~graded to a neighborhood
center that provmdes good pedestrian and traffic circulation.
Future platting should eliminate the driveway access to
S.T.H. 13 and the non-conforming uses should be reDlaced
with permitted uses in the district. Landscaping, paved
parking lots, sidewalks, and good design of buildings should
be implemented in this business district.
At the time that the vacant 22 acres south of 170th Street
develops, a local road should be planned that connects 170th
Street to S.T.H. 13. In addition, a frontage road connecting
170th Street to Five Hawks Avenue through the "Simpkins"
property, is recommended as part of the ring road system.
The intersection of C.R. 81 and S.T.H. 13 is identified as a
location for a major City entry monument.
Five Hawks:
Five Hawks Planning District is bounded on the west by housing
adjacent to Willow Lane, the south by Highway 13, and the north
by C. R. 21. This District consists of approximately 380 acres
and is 80% developed at density ranging from 2.5 to 18 units per
acre. Five Hawks can best be characterized as a transitional and
active neighborhood between the low density Willow Lane area and
high density C. R. 21 area. Several east-west oriented marshes
and wetlands divide this District approximately in half. These
marshes and wetlands help filter runoff before~t enters Prior
Lake. However, these features inhibit traffic movements within
the neighborhoods and into other neighborhoods. To the north of
the natural features is residential development in the 5 to 7
units per acre range which does not conform to the current zoning
standards. The land to the south is characterized by recent
development and vacant land. This neighborhood has about one
mile of lakeshore, unfortunately no public access points exist
for its residents.
The Five Hawks Planning District received its name from effigy
mounds located in the vicinity of Five Hawks Elementary School.
Unfortunately, this early. Indian artifact was destroyed by
development and grading mn the area. The Willows neighborhood
park and C. R. 21 trails are the only public spaces in this
neighborhood that have a potential population of 1800 people.
McWlllies Restaurant/Bar/Marina on Green Heights Trail, is one of
only two commercial establishments remaining on Prior Lake. It is
an important part of the lake recreation environment and
community heritage: It currently operates under a conditional
use permit with limited expansion potential.
The property to the south and west of Five Hawks School is and
currently .designated medium density residential in the Year 2000
Comprehensive Plan. However, approximately 10 of the 50 vacant
acres are zoned B-3 commercial and the remaining land is zoned
R-3. The common district boundary line between residential and
commercial was arbitrarily established thereby resulting in a
difficult platting process unless the PUD format is utilized.
Prior Lake should take action to rezone this acreage to be
consistent with the comprehensive plan of medium density
residential. An inappropriate island of medium density exists
directly south of McWillies. This medium density zone consists
of about 2.5 acres with tremendous development constraints. The
area around this site is all zoned R-1 and developed with single
family homes. The site should reflect single family development
opportunities to be consistent with the immediate area. A vacant
residential site consisting of about 2 acres directly southeast
of the intersection of West Avenue and County Road 21 should also
be down zoned to R-2 medium residential densxty to reflect the
character of the area and the current comprehensive plan.
Traffic circulation in this Planning District needs to be
improved. A high prio{ity should be assigned to the completion
of Five Hawks Avenue to improve the circulation and connect the
north and south halves of this neighborhood. 170th Street should
be extended to Five Hawks Avenue. The intersection of Five Hawks
Avenue and S.T.H. 13 should eventually be signalized. It is
possible that the current intersection of 170th Street and S.T.H.
13 will be limited to a right-in/right-out movement. The City
has initiated a study to review alternatives for this
intersection. Birch Avenue in the north half of the Planning
District still has a gravel section which should be improved to a
bituminous surface.
Two commercial nodes are included in this Planning District. A
?ortion of the Town Center located directly south of the
xntersection of S.T.H. 13 and C. R. 21. The other node consists
of the post office, bank, and lumber yard directly south of the
intersectxon of Anna Trail and S.T.H. 13. The downtown node is a
highly visible and accessible area. Development includes a mix
of new and old with little or no continuity in design and general
character. Increasing traffic and control devices on S.T.H.
and C. R. 21 will further isolate this node from other business
nodes in the community unless improvements in circulation and
design are made to Duluth and Main Avenue.
The commercial node at Anna Trail and S.T.H. 13 is totally
orientated to the automobile. The businesses in this area should
consider sidewalk improvemen~ permitting pedestrian traffic
between them. Duluth Avenue which provides local access to this
node has been identified as a critical part of the ring road
system tying this node, Town Center and the Priordale business
dxstrict together. The City Capital Improvement Program
indicates that Duluth Avenue will be improved with new street,
curb and gutter, sidewalk and bike path. This improvement will
greatly enhance accessibility between the three business centers
and adjacent neighborhoods. The priyate sector should be
encouraged to provide pedestrian access via sidewalks to the Anna
Trail and Priordale businesses to take full advantage of the
public improvements anticipated for Duluth Avenue.
3O
DISTRICT OBJECTIVES:
The City of Prior Lake should initiate rezoning changes for
the Simpkin's property (vacant 50 acres southwest of Five
Hawks School) to R-2 residential and the vacant site south of
McWillies Restaurant to R-1 residential·
A trail system should be established along
natural features and roadways to provide
bicycle links throughout the District.
the District's
pedestrian and
A neighborhood park should be established in the north half
of the Planning District, perhaps utilizing the Outlot
adjacent to Green Heights Trail and Dutch Avenue or the City
property located on Cares Street.
The completion of Five Hawks Avenue should be established in
the Capital Improvement Program as a high priority in order
to improve north-south vehicular movements and the main
entrance to this neighborhood from S.T.H. 13.
New residential land uses along S.T.H. 13 shall use design
elements such as deeper lots, planted berms, fencing, and
tree cover to buffer the negative influence of S.T.H. 13.
The lumber yard north of Anna Trail is currently designated
B-2 commercial which is a zone reflective of Town Center. A
zoning change to B-3 highway con%mercial should be initiated
by the City of Prior Lake.
The improvement of Duluth Avenue with bike trails and
sidewalks to provide a pedestrian link between the three
business centers of Town Center, Anna Trail and Priordale,
should be completed to implement the ring road system.
Lakefront:
The Lakefront Planning District is clustered around Lakefront
Park and Town Center. It includes a major portion of the Town
Center and is bordered on the southwest by C.R. 21, the southeast
by S.T.H. 13 and the north by the lake of Prior Lake. Without
using S.T.H. 13, the only way to get from one part of the
ne%ghborho~ to the other is through the Park. One primary
ob]ective of all recent planning studies has been to take better
advantage of the proximity of Lakefront Park to the Town Center·
The City has created a tax increment district within the downtown
and developed a land USe plan which identifies the block by block
transition from business and governmental uses to apartment
construction and to single family lots.
This 375 acre P%anning District has been developed at a density
averaging considerably less than 2 units per acre· Most of the
available land has been developed except where slopes are steep
31
GENERAL PARK POLICIES:
Park location within developments should be centrally located
in order to equally serve the entire neighborhood·
Where subdivisions or PUD's are less than 40 acres, public
open space or a school site which is to be dedicated should,
where possible, be combined with dedications from adjoining
developments·
When development occurs adjacent to school sites, an
objective of the Parks and Recreation Plan is to provide a
land dedication that can be combined with the school open
space.
The slope, topography and geology of a dedicated
well as its surroundmngs, must be suitable for its
purposes.
site, as
intended
Grading on sites dedicated for park and recreational uses
shall not differ greatly from surrounding land.
Where the Comprehensive Plan or the standards of the city
call for a larger amount of park and recreational land or
development than the developer is required to dedicate, the
land needed beyond the developer's contribution shall be
reserved for subsequent purchase by the city, as outlined
within an option agreement setting forth the terms of
purchase.
If the site to be dedicated for park land is too small to be
practical, or is inappropriate for park and recreational
purposes, the city shall require the developer to pay a cash
contribution in lieu of the land dedication required·
An objective of the Park and Open Space Plan is that street
frontage to neighborhood parks consist of the entire length
of the park on two of its sides to: Provide better
visibility for passersby and for ~ecurity; allow for
on-street parking Sn front of the park, discourage, users f~om
cutting through private property to get to the parK; aevelop
facilities away from adjacent residential property and to
provide more useable space.
The City of Prior Lake should acquire scenic
easements and or dedications along lakes,
ponds and wetland areas.
and pedestrian
drainage ways,
10.
The City's subdivision planting plan requirements should be
enhance~ to require developers to plant landscape materials
to add ~o the open ~pace character of the community. Some
uniformity of planting materials should be established to
help create continuity within community neighborhoods.
107
11. The Parks and Recreation Department should continue to
improve the coordinated planting/replacement program for all
arks and public open space where trees and. vegetation are
acking. Particular attention should be paid to upgrading
public utility areas by the introduction of "immediate impact
providing" landscaping materials.
12.
The City of Prior Lake should develop a coordinated street
landscaping program which includes pavin~, sidewalks,
lighting, waste receptacles, signage and planting areas.
Priority should be given to the Town Center and Waterfront
Passage areas.
13. The City of Prior Lake should encourage the School
and private utility companies to begin a planting
which is consistent with the City's program.
District
program
14. Standards for development of trail, sidewalk and boulevard
planting pro,rams should be developed by the City and
lnc?rporated Into the appropriate Zoning and Subdivision
Ordinances. Specific criteria for trail surface, grading,
earth sculpturing, plant material and improvements such as
benches, water fountains, waste receptacles, lighting and
park signage must be developed by the City if they are ever
to be incorporated into future development proposals.
15. The Parks and Recreation Department should adopt a boundary
identification policy that establishes minimum standards for
park access points and outlines the use of structures such as
fences~ landforms, slopes and berms, color, size, shape and
lettering type of signage, and the types of plant materials
that will provide consistent visual identity for the
boundaries of the public parks and open space system.
108
Woodlands District:
Wooded areas are an invaluable community resource that provide
wildlife habitat and interesting places to live· The uncontrolled
spread of development, and increasing demands upon natural
resources have had the effect of encroaching upon, despoiling, or
eliminating many of the woodland areas of the community. The
woodlands, if left in their natural condition, constitute
important physical, aesthetic, recreational and economic assets
to existing and future residents of Prior Lake. Woodland growth
protects the public health through the absorption of air
pollutants and contamination, through the reduction of excessive
noise, and mental and physical damage related to noise pollution.
Also, through its cooling effect in the summer months and tha~
woodlands provide for public safety through the prevention of
erosion, siltation and flooding. Trees and woodland growth are
an essential component of the general welfare of Prior Lake
because of their natural beauty, recreation, and their
relationship to the common heritage shared by existing and future
residents. Any development within or adjacent to wooded areas
requires sensitivity and prudent management in order to protect
the integrity and health of the woodland districts within the
community·
The preservation of woodlands, trees, similar wood
vegetation, and related natural resources is a priority for
all forms of development. However, no development shall be
denied solely on the basis that some trees are growing on the
property under consideration· Other factors which
demonstrate a public need for woodland preservation must be
stated.
Development should be conducted so that the maximum number of
trees are preserved by the clustering of structures in
existing cleared areas and natural clearings, and the use of
other site design and grading techniques. Clear. Cutting of
natural vegetation is prohibited within the City without
prior approval from the City, which authorizes a restoration
plan for the vegetation on the site.
Development should not reduce the existing crown cover
greater than fifty percent and shall be conducted in such a
manner as to preserve the understory.
Trees use~ in reforestation or. landscaping should be
indigenous species which are compatible with the local
landscape and not currently under disease epidemic·
The relationship of streets, highways, transportation
corridors or other development to the woodland area shall be
considered, along with alternatives for new transportation
routes and for the location of the proposed development.
112
Bluff Districts:
Slopes of 20% or greater should not be disturbed and shall
be retained as private or public open space. Slopes less
than 20% may only be developed when erosion control and
vpgetation.restoration can be accomplished as approved by the
City of Prior Lake.
Exposed slopes shall be protected by established erosion
control methods to prevent erosion.
Wetlands Districts:
It is in the public interest to protect against uncoordinated and
unplanned land development which affects marshes, swamps,
wetlands, drainage ways, lakes, and watercourses within the City
of Prior Lake. Unplanned land development results in loss and
damage to public and private improvements through inundation by
flood waters and subsequent expensive construction of storm
sewers and other public projects. Loss also occurs with the
permanent destruction of these natural resources, loss of water
retention facilities, open space, and wildlife habitats, and
impairment of public and private water supplies· The purpose of
the policies in this district are to permit and encourage a
coordinated land and water management program and the retention
of open land uses which will locate permanent structures and
artificial obstructions so as not to obstruct the passage of
waters nor destroy the natural public water areas, marshes, and
wetlands within the City of Prior Lake.
As part of the development process, protected wetland areas
should be analyzed by professional consultants to advise
alternative methods that will most effectively preserve
wildlife habitat and provide water purification and recharge
areas for the lakes of Prior Lake. Marsh areas may require
preservation in whole or in part and may not be altered
without consent of the City of Prior Lake.
Filling wetland areas for the sole purpose of creating more
lots within a development shall not be allowed, unless
consistent with the Wetlands Act of 1991· Dredging water
bodies for the purpose of increasing the number of lots in
any development shall not be permitted.
If land. for recreati?nal purposes, .natural resource
preservation and/or publl¢ access oppor~unities within Prior
Lake becomes available for acquisition, the City. shall
explore options to purchase this land to retain it in its
current use or to develop it further for additional
recreational opportunities·
The City of Prior Lake should establish a minimum setback,
(50' is recommended), from the ordinary high water mark of
all prorated wetland and ponding areas to serve as a
113
transition zone between the wetland environment and adjacent
development. Alterations of topography within the required
setback shall be minimized, and the need for such alteration
shall be documented in a permit application. Plant materials
that provides wildlife habitat are encouraged to be
introduced adjacent to wetlands.
IMPLEMENTATION STRATEGIES FOR ENVIRONMENTAL DISTRICTS:
Establish site development performance standards and criteria
for each type of environmental district which indicate
minimum acceptable standards for development. This policy
should be implemented via adoption of a wetlands, tree,
shoreland and wildlife habitat protection ordinances.
PUBLIC ACCESS - WATERS AND NATURAL FEATURES:
The water and natural environmental resources in Prior Lake are
the center and principal attraction of the community. All site
development proposals should utilize and promote the intrinsic
properties of water resources and natural areas within the
community. Developments should provide pedestrian access to
these features and Town Center. Both residential and business
uses should provide outdoor open space improvements. Site design
and landscape should be attractively and carefully planned.
There should be continuity of design adjacent to natural
features. However, freedom for creative design is encouraged and
direct imitation is discouraged. Energy .conservation is
encouraged. The combination of solar orientation and waterfront
orientation is encouraged. Adverse impacts on neighboring site
developmentIs discouraged.
PUBLIC ACCESS POLICIES:
The citizens of Prior Lake shall be afforded the opportunity
to enjoy water and natural resources via public access to
prominent neighborhood features.
Public access to features within Prior Lake shall consist of
physical improvements in the form of any one or a combination
of the following: Walkway, bikeway, corridor, viewpoint,
park, deck, observation deck, pier, or other areas.serving.as
a means of view and/or physical approach to significant site
features for the public. Public access may also include, but
not be limited to, interpretive centers and displays
explaining local historical events or places.
The City of Prior Lake shall review the tyDe, design, and
location of public access to insure development of a public
place meeting the intent of this Comprehensive Plan. The
following criteria will be considered in determining what
114
constitutes adequate public access on a specific site. The
location of the access on the lot shall be chosen to:
A. Maximize the public nature of the access by locating
adjacent to other public areas including street-ends,
waterways, parks, other public access and connecting
trails which are also handicap accessible.
B. Maximize views of the water, natural features and sun
exposure.
C. Minimize intrusion of privacy for both site users and
public access users by avoiding locations adjacent to
windows and or outdoor private open spaces or by
screening or other separation techniques.
4. Public amenities appropriate to the usage of the public
access space such as benches, picnic tables, public docks and
sufficient public parking to serve the users shall be
selected and placed to ensure a usable and comfortable
public area..Interpretive features such as displays or
special viewing equipment shall be incorporated in public
access areas.
5. Regulated public access features may be %imited as to
hours of availability and types of activities permitted.
However, 24-hour availability is preferable and the access
must be available to the public on a regularly scheduled
basis.
6. Ail public access point features shall be provided through
land dedication, easement, covenant, or similar legal
agreement recorded with the Scott County Recorder's Office.
7. A minimum of one public access site should .b? provided for
each development pro~ect adjacent to a significant wetland or
lake Environmental District unless access standards are met
elsewhere as part of a public access plan approved by the
City of Prior Lake or public access is not required for the
development.
8. The public access area should provide the public with visual
and physical access to the shoreline area. Preference will
be given to perimeter access which provides maximum exposure
to the land and surrounding activity.
9. A public access walkway should be provided along the entire
width of the shoreline and along views of the water and
prominent natural features.
10. Walking paths must be at ground level, finished with a
surface suitable for walk%ng, such as pavers, concrete, or
asphalt. Dirt or gravel is not suitable.

11. Public access plans should contain the following elements and
should incorporate public improvements such as trails and
parks within developments: Relationship of proposed access
route to transportation systems; relation of access to
pathways and adjacent land uses; identification of special
opportunities; relation to recreational facilities; proposed
slgnage/ lighting, and furniture; safety considerations·
VIEWS AND VISTAS:
The maintenance of and improvement of views of community lakes
wetlands and natural features is a fundamental design element
that must be considered for all development proposals. Each
parcel of land contains unique natural characteristics such as a
knoll, bluff, wooded area or wetland, and all efforts should be
made to design neighborhoods, buildings and other structures to
accommodate and accentuate the natural elements which give
character, identity, and sense of place. The desire to view,
walk to and around natural features is a fundamental reason
residents choose to live in Prior Lake. For that reason, it is
imperative developments be designed to maximize accessibility to,
and viewing of, these features.
VIEW AND VISTA POLICIES:
Unique scenic views of lakes, wetlands, their shorelines and
other prominent natural features shall be enhanced, as much
as ~ossible, by development sensitive to orientation,
spacz~g, placement, and appearance of structures or
improvements that are compatible with the natural topography
and vegetation.
Subdivisions and physical development must be designed to
protect the aesthetic characteristics and vistas of the
natural resources found on site. Limited development which
is sensitive to natural, scenic, or historical resource areas
may be permitted. The visual impact of altering the
landscape and of new development should be minimized·
Development of natural resource districts should be
compatible with scenic and natural qualities of the area·
Performance standards such as increased lot sizes, lot
widths, structure setbacks, and buffer areas should be
utilized to implement this policy.
Man-made structures should be placed or grouped to complement
one another and the natural landscape, provide visual
interest, and create a sense of place within the
development. Development should demonstrate a concern for
view of natural features as well as view from prominept
features such as hillsides. Structures may be located an
view corridors if the slope of the lot permits full,
unobstructed view of the feature.
116
View corridors shall be in the direction of the predominant
view of the natural feature and, when topographically
possible, generally parallel =o existing view corridors.
Public access of some sort, such as pedestrian
bike trails, adjacent to natural features will
within a subdivision or development area·
walkways and
be required
View towers and grade separated platforms may be used to
provide views of water and other natural resources.
Interpretive displays explaining what is seen is also an
attractive feature. Such viewpoints are considered viable
alternatives to trails or paths into certain sites.

ITEM V-PUBLIC HEARING-REZONING/COMPREHENSIVE PLAN AMENDMENT
Robert Smith of R.P.Smith Land Planning Consultants, Inc. 3009
West 70 1/2, Richfield, MN represented the applicant Jim Allen of
Westbury Ponds Corporation, 12433 Princeton Avenue, Savage, MN.
Mr. Smith stated Mr. Allen is requesting an amendment to the
Comprehensive Plan and Rezonin~ for approximately 60 acres of
vacant land in the Five Hawks neighborhood. The Comprehensive
Plan amendment would be to amend the subject site from medium
density to low density residential and downzone from R-3
Multiple Family Residential and B-3 General Business to R-1
Single Family Residential. The intent is to develop the site
into a residential development for approximately 120 homes.
Deb Garross presented the information as per memo of August 6,
1992 and stressed the fact the application is for an amendment to
the Comprehensive Plan and Rezoning of the subject site and not
the subdivision of the property. This would be done at a later
date. The market for R-3 land is almost non-existent in Prior
Lake at the present time. It is doubtful that the 16 acres of
restricted B-3 zone along STH 13 will be marketable in the near
future. The predicted business opportunities are forecast to be
in the County Road 42 and 83 area.
The property has been vacant for many years. The adjacent land
is residential and the proposal would be consistent with the
neighborhood. The area zoned C-1 Conservation would remain as
designated. The recommendation from Staff is to approve the
amendment from medium density to low density to the Comprehensive
Plan and to rezone from R-3 and B-3 acreage to R-1 residential
for Westbury Ponds and forward to the City Council.
Comments from the public were as follows:
Chris Johnson 3784 Pershing St.- questioned why development was
proposed on the site and e_x~ressed concern about vehicle and
pedestrian traffic impact, wildlife loss, wetland status, and
sidewalks.
Howard Staska 16651 Willow Lane - expressed concern about
increased traffic and questioned whether any of the currently
zoned C-1 land was proposed to be changed.

reasonable. Ms. Garross clarified for the audience that the
commercial zone was a "contract zone" with limited business uses,
not a true B-3 zone. In addition, the city has identified future
commercial sites along County Road 42 and 18, and County Road 42
and 83, where it is felt that better traffic and market
opportunities exist for commercial development. Ms. Garross and
Mr. Smith were complimented on their presentation of the

Dear City Council,
~rior Lake is noised for growth. As you know, a group
cf co:.~ne~~ ~itlzens has res~arcke~ mar.5 ~roa~ iss~e.~
concerning this growth. We feel that the issue of im-
mediate concern is the increase of our minimum lot size.
Our current minimum lot size is:
10,0¢0 sq.f%.area 80ft. width 25ft.setback 10ft.sideyard
We propose to increase this to the following,
R-IA In a development, the lot size will average 15,000
s~.ft, with a minimum allowable lot 12,500 sq.ft.. This is
intendeS"pfimarily fo~.open field areas as.opp6s$8, to
environmentally sen§itt~e areas.
R-l~ To minimize environmental disruption and to preserve
areas with natural amenities (hills, woodlands, etc.) lots
will average 20,000 sq.ft., minimum 15,000 sq.ft. Suggested
areas may include Pike Lake, the lake areas of Vierling~s
property.
R-lC In order to maintain the country feeling and to
~reserve unique environmental features (wetlands, wildlife,
etc.) areas will be designated "environmentally sensitive
area". ?hey will feature large lots (1 1/2 acre minimum)
to maintain the integrity ofthe natural design. Suggested
areas include Jeffer's property.
~mny of our neighboring communities have already adopZed
similar increased standards. They include the cities
of Chaska, Chanhassen, Apple Valley, Eagan, Belle Plaine,
Inver Grove Heights· (See attached survey,)
We request a special workshop date with the council
within 30 days to review our research and share other
pertinent information. We feel that by combining our
resources and ideas together we can continue to build
a coamunity of which we are proud.
Sincerely.

DAVID UNMACHT, CITY MANAGER
CONSIDER SECOND DRAFT OF TERM LIMIT POLICY
SEPTEMBER 8, 1992
INTRODUCTION:
DISCUSSION:
The purpose of this item is to consider the
second draft of the Term Limit Policy. On
Monday, June 15, 1992 the city Council
considered a first draft of the Term Limit
Policy. The City Council directed individual
committees to review the draft Term Limit Policy
and submit comments and recommendations to the
city Council. In addition, on July 6, 1992 the
city Council extended the terms of individuals
who were up for reappointment (please see
enclosed agenda report for Monday, July 6, 1992
meeting).
The affected committees and commission discussed
the Term Limit Policy at their regular meetings.
City staff received only one written set of
comments (see Planning Commission memo attached
for your review). In addition, city staff has
not received any informal or formal feedback
from members of the public on the Term Limit
Policy.
With respect to discussion on the second draft
of the Term Limit Policy, Changes have been
incorporated in paragraph 2. The second draft
incorporates a three term limitation as opposed
to a two term limitation contained in the first
draft. In addition, a clarification is made in
the second sentence of paragraph 2.
Term periods for the Economic Development
Committee, Planning Commission and Parks
Advisory Committee are two year terms. The
initial Lake Advisory Committee terms are
staggered from one, two and three years.
However, after the initial terms are completed,
all future terms will be for a period of two
years as well. The essence of the policy is a
maximum of three terms or six years of service

to a particular volunteer body. The rationale
behind changing the term limits from two to
three years is largely supported by written
comments received from Jim Hill as follows:
First term: "get acquainted" find your way
around; second term: "establish goals and
objectives"; third term: "complete goals and
objectives and get something done."
The outstanding question is how to address the
terms for members who have served on the
Planning Commission and Economic Development
Committee who have served beyond three terms,
are currently in the middle of a term and whose
terms expire at the same time in 1993. This
scenario impacts six individuals: Chuck Arnold,
Tom Loftus, Dave Roseth, Bob Barsness, Jim Hill
and Rachel Van Den Boom. With respect to the
Planning Commission, this represents 60% of the
members and with respect to the EDC, this
represents 30% of the members. Staff would not
recommend that these individuals with their
experience be removed at one time from their
respective positions. Subsequently, staff is in
the process of developing an alternative
proposal to handle the transition of individuals
who have completed more than three terms, but
are in the middle of completing an appointed
term. Staff will present an alternative to
handle this situation at the meeting.
The issue of Council term limits has been raised
by various committee members. City Attorney
Glenn Kessel has researched the issue of Council
term limits. The City Council as a matter of
policy cannot limit terms of the Mayor and
Councllmembers. Kessel is preparing a letter in
support of this position for the Council.
ALTERNATIVES:
The Council has the following alternatives:
1. Adopt the Term Limit Policy as prepared.
2. Adopt the Term Limit Policy as amended.
3. Table the discussion of the Term Limit
Policy .
4. Do not adopt the Term Limit Policy.
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends alternative #1 or #2,
Term Limit Policy.
Adopt a
ACTION REQUIRED: Action will vary based on Council discussion.

within the committees and commlss~on. Time servea Dy{
individual(s) who are completing the service of a ter?.vacate9 by~
a resigning member does not count toward the =nree =erm~
limitation. -~
The rationale behind the term limit policy is to encourage as
much participation as possible from a wide variety of community
members. The policy does not represent a judgment on a position
or ~erformance of existing members. It %mportant to develop 9nd
obtain new perspectives on matters of business in the community
of Prior Lake. It is also critical to open and responsive

TERM LIMIT POLICY OF PLANNING COMMISSION
AUGUST 31, 1992
On July 16 the Plannin~ Commissioners had considerable discussion
on the proposed term limit policy currently in draft form. The
discussion focused on the following issues.
1. The policy should be more definitive in the
implementation.
It was the consensus that years of service on the
Planning Commission results in an expanded knowledge
base. It would be prudent for the community to continue
to utilize that base.
The current two term limit suggested by the policy
should be increased from 2 to 4.
e
It was highly suggested that reappointments caused by a
term limit policy be staggered for purposes of
continuity.

DEB GARROSS, ASSISTANT CITY PLANNER
CONSIDER FIRST DRAFT OF PROPOSED
ORDINANCE 92-10
SEPTEMBER 8, 1992
LANDSCAPE
INTRODUCTION:
BACKGROUND:
The purpose of this item is to consider the
first draft of the proposed landscape
ordinance. The Planning Commission has held
several discussions of the attached ordinance
and a public hearing held on August 6, 1992.
The ordinance was prepared with the assistance
of Greg Kopischke of Westwood Professional
Services, Inc. who is also a registered
landscape architect. Mr. Kopischke will be in
attendance at the City Council meeting to
review the ordinance in detail. The
recommendation of the Planning Commission is
to approve attached ordinance 92-10 as
presented.
The proposed ordinance would add a substantial
number of new regulations to the Zoning
Ordinance which outline r~quired landscaping
improvement~ for specified development
projects within the City. The proposed
amendment encompasses eight fully typed pages.
A summary of the proposed language is outlined
as follows:
The purpose of this ordinance is to establish
performance standards and minimum req~.irements
for landscaping, buffering and screening that
will enhance the visual and aesthetic
character of property and site development
within the City.. The City Staff, Planning
Commission and City Council will utilize these
standards in the review and evaluation of such
plans and development proposals. This
ordinance applies to all subdivision and site
plan approvals for business, industrial,
multi-family residential !projects of 3 or
more dwelling units per building), pu~.lic and
institutional uses as may be permitted or
conditional within their respective zoning
districts. Existing uses shall comply with
4629 Dakota St. S.E., Prior Lake, Minnesota 55372 / Ph. (612) 447-4230 ' Fax (612) 447-4245
AN EQUAL OPPORTUNITY a~P~OYaR
this ordinance when they apply for building
permits with exceptions for an addition or
additions that in total are under ten percent
of the existing structure's gross floor area
or 4000 square feet, whichever is less.
The objectives of these requirements are to
establish and maintain forestation of the
City; to provide appropriate ground cover
vegetation for controlled soil erosion; to
preserve and enhance, ~hen necessary, the
natural environment, particularly in instances
where the natural environment is disturbed
during the course of development; and, to
establish standards for utilization of natural
and other materials to achieve desired
screening and buffering.
This ordinance sets forth minimum requirements
for landscaping, reforestation and technical
limitations to assure that the result is
consistent with reasonable maintenance
requirements on a long-term basis and to
assure that the results provide landscape
amenities to the urban environment. To help
assure the best possible results, plans will
be prepared by a trained design professional.
A Registered Landscape Architect must be used
on:
a)
b)
business, institutional and industrial
development with sites over 20,000 square
feet or gross building area of 4,000
square feet or more, whichever is less;
multi-family residential (8 units or
more).
A trained landscape designer may be used on
smaller projects.
This ordinance is intended to ~rovide
standards that allow flexibility in design and
individual site needs. Designers are
encouraged to utilize site landscape elements
(i.e.; trees, shrubs, ground covers, flowers,
berms and ground form, fences, walls, existing
topography and vegetation, artforms, and other
similar items) in creative ways that are
aesthetically pleasing yet functional where
required. In addition to compliance with
subsequent sections of this ordinance, plan
review by the City Planning Department will
include such items as: choice of materials,
especially plantings, to determine if they are
functionally appropriate for the intended
purpose; hardiness; disease-resistance;
compatible choice and mix of materials; do
materials complement and/or ~rovide .pleasing
contrast to on-site and off-site conditions to
maintain interest; and other issues as site
appropriate. Specific site plans may be
required to go beyond the minimum requirements
to meet the purpose and objectives of this
ordinance.
The proposed ordinance outlines the quantity,
type and placement of landscape requirements
that are acceptable under the terms of the
ordinance. Specific language discusses the
procedures for calculation of requirements,
credits for existing materials and plant sizes
for business/industrial, institutional,
multi-family residential sites, entry
plantings, parking lot landscape and
miscellaneous screening requirements for
grounds, lawns, mechanical equipment and
storage areas.
The proposed ordinance outlines maintenance
standards such as the maintenance of healthy,
pest-free, materials, pruning, mowing, removal
of trash and noxious materials and maintenance
requirements for natural plant communities.
Requirements for performance guarantees are
also outlined including a one year guarantee
for all plant materials after total project
acceptance, and guarantee for required
irrigation system function.
Submission requirements for landscape plans
are identified in the proposed ordinance such
as: Landscape plans must be drawn to scale,
show all proposed plants, quantities and
sizes, seed/sod areas/limits, etc. The
plan(s) must include the entire project area.
Include project name, developer, registered
landscape architect or landscape des%g~er,
architect, dates, existing site conditions
(topography, vegetation, ponding areas or
water bodies, utilities, boundary data, walks,
etc.), proposed site conditions, (grading
plan, tree preservation/protection plan,
etc.), site lighting, off site conditions
approximately 100 feet beyond the site, and
other site conditions that would be expected
to affect landscaping.
ALTERNATIVES:
RECOMMENDATION:
ACTION REQUIRED:
Calculations to evaluate compliance with the
ordinance provisions including: area in square
footage and percentage, in ~otal area for
building, parklng lot (including 4rive~ays),
landscape areas and total area; and quan=i=ies
of trees and shrubs required and planted or
preserved.
Supportive plans, details, written narrative
notes, cross-sections or other information as
may be required by the Planning Staff that is
reasonable and necessary to demonstrate the
design intent and ~eneral compliance with this
ordinance is also included in the draft.
1. Discuss and review the draft ordinance as
submitted. Direct Staff to place on the
September 21 agenda for action.
2. Direct staff to conduct further research
depending upon Council discussion.
3. Do not consider the adoption of a
Landscape Ordinance.
Alternative 1 or 2, depending upon the outcome

CITY OF PRIOR LAKE
DRAFT 8-5-92
ORDINANCE NO. 92-10
AN ORDINANCE AMENDING PRIOR LAKE CITY CODE AND PRIOR I2%KE ZONING
ORDINANCE NO. 83-6.
The Council of the City of Prior Lake does hereby ordain:
CITY CODE SECTION 5-5-10: SCREENING: AND PRIOR LAKE ZONING
ORDINANCE 83-5 SECTION 6.10 are hereby amended to add the
following language:
(A) Purpose:
The purpose of this ordinance is to establish performance
standards and minimum requirements for landscaping, buffering
and screening that will enhance the visual and aesthetic
character of property and site development within the City.
The City Staff, Planning Commission and City Council will
utilize these standards in the review and evaluation of such
plans and development proposals. This ordinance applies to
all subdivision and site plan approvals for business,
industrial, multi-fam%ly.residential (projects of 3 or more
dwelling units per building), public and institutional uses
as may be permitted or conditional within their respective
zoning districts. Existing uses shall comply with this
ordinance when they apply for building ~ermits with
exceptions for an addition or additions that in total are
under ten percent of the existing ~tructure's gross floor
area or 4000 square feet, whichever is less.
The objectives of these requirements are to establish and
maintain forestation of the City; to provide appropriate
ground cover vegetation for controlled soil eroszon; to
preserve and enhance, when necessary, the natural
environment, particularly in instances where the natural
environment is disturbed during the course of development;
and, to establish standards for utilization of natural and
other materials to achieve desired screening and buffering.
This ordinance sets forth minimum requirements for
landscaping, reforestation and technical limitations to
assure that the result is consistent with reasonable
maintenance requirements on a long-term basis and to assure
that the results provide landscape amenities to the urban
environment. To help assure the best possible results, plans
will be prepared by a trained design professional. A
Registered Landscape Architect must be used on:
a)
business, institutional and industrial development with
sites over 20,000 square feet or gross building area of
4,000 square feet or more, whichever is less;
b) multi-family residential (8 units or more).
A trained landscape designer may be used on smaller projects.
This ordinance is intended to provide standards that allow
flexibility in design and individual site needs. Designers
are encouraged to utilize a variety of site landscape
elements (i.e.; trees, shrubs, ground covers, flowers, berms
and ground form, fences, walls, existing topography and
vegetation, artforms, and other similar items) in creative
ways that are aesthetically pleasing yet functional where
required. In addition to compliance with subsequent sections
of this ordinance, plan review by the City Planning
Department will include such items as: choice of materials,
especially plantings, to determine if they are functionally
a?propriate for the intended purpose; hardiness;
disease-resistance; compatible choice and mix of materials;
do materials complement and/or provide pleasing contrast to
on-site and off-site conditions to maintain interest; and
other issues as site appropriate. Specific site plans may be
required to go beyond the minimum requirements to meet the
purpose and objectives of this ordinance.
(B) General Landscape Requirements:
The quantity of plant materials shown on the landscape plans
of ~roposed developments shall meet or exceed the minimums as
defined herein.
The City requires landscape treatment of the whole site
include the following elements:
a)
b)
c)
d)
The site perimeter.
The "entry" focal area(s) of a development (i.e.; major
entry drives, corner areas, signage locations, and other
similar focal points).
The parking lot landscape.
Screening of mechanical equipment, exterior storage,
loading.docks, trash storage, or visual clutter as
ldentif~ed by the City in the plan review process.
3. The plant materials used must meet or exceed the City
standards of size and specie in order to qualify for credit
towards the landscape requirement. Additional plant
materials smaller than required herein may be appropriate and
necessary to achieve the design effect.
4. Preservation of existing vegetation on site, if it can
successfully be incorporated into the landscape plan, should
be encouraged and credited toward the landscape requirement.
5. Plantings at street intersections shall not block visibility
within a clear view triangle.
2
Plantings shall not interfere with drainage patterns,
unreasonable conflict with utilities (i.e., frequent
near overhead power lines, etc) or restrict access
utilities.
create
pruning
to all
Landscape coverage shall be d~fined as all ground areas
surrounding the principal building and accessory buildings
which are not garden areas, driveways, parking lots,
sidewalks or patios. All ground areas shall be landscaped
with grass, shrubs, trees or other approved ornamental
landscape material.
(C) Calculation of Requirements, Credits and Sizes:
The planting ~equirement shall be the sum of the following
separate requirements. These formulas are only intended as a
method to generate a quantitative performance level and not a
design instruction. Creativity of design is encouraged to
provide specific solutions.
a)
b)
Tree Calculation:
Business /Industrial /Institutional sites shall contain,
~ a minimum, the greater of:
1 tree required per 40' of site perimeter, or
2. 1 tree per 1000 square feet of gross building area.
Multi-residential sites shall contain, at a minimum, the
greater of:
1. 1 tree per dwelling unit, or
2. 1 tree required per 40' of site perimeter.
Entry Plantings: Each major entry point~ focal point,
etc. (See Section B, 2, b) into the project or building
shall be treated with landscape development (tree~,
shrubs, etc.). No numerical requirement of plants ~s
offered, but every development project has at least one
such feature, and the landscape ~lan shall reflect the
proposed treatment. Trees requlred on the perimeter
calculation are not applicable to this design feature.
c)
d)
Parking Lot Landscape: As identif%ed in Section D (1 and
4) parking lot islands and screening shall be provided.
No numerical requirement for plants is provided, but use
of canopy trees to provide shade and shrubs to soften
the internal sight lines and screen small storage areas
is required.
Miscellaneous Screenings: As identified in Section E
(Other Screening) miscellaneous screening shall be
provided. No numerical requirement for ?lants is
provided and the perimeter tree planting requirement may
be used to provide trees for this purpose but the
effectiveness shall be as described in Section E (Other
Screening).
Plant Sizes (New): Plants provided by the developer as credit
for meeting the landscape requirement shall meet the
following size criteria:
a)
b)
c)
d)
e)
f)
g)
Deciduous Canopy Trees: 2 1/2" caliper B & B (at 6"
above ground).
Coniferous Trees: 6' high B & B
Others:
1. Ornamental or half trees: 1-3/4" caliper B & B (can
substitute for canopy trees at a ratio of 2
ornamental/half trees for I canopy tree).
2. Other shrubs: No minimum except that they must
meet the stated purpose ~screenlng, etc.).
All plantings shall be appropriate to the hardiness zone
and physical characteristics of the site. . They shall
conform to the size and quality standards in the most
current edition of the American Standard for Nursery
Stock as published by the American Association of
Nurserymen.
All deciduous trees proposed to meet the minimum
requirements shall be long-lived, hardwood species. . A
list of desirable and ~rohibited plant material species
is incorporated as policy in this ordinance and will .be
maintained and kept on file with the City Planning
Department.
The complement of trees fulfilling the minimum
requirements shall typically not be less than 25%
deciduous and not less than 25% coniferous to maintain a
mix of plant types. Any proposed m?dification to this
requirement will consider the site specific design
solution if site conditions are deemed appropriate and
other functional requirements (screening, etc.) are
met.
Installation will be in accordance with professional
horticultural standards as established with the most
current edition of the Landscape Construction Reference
Manual as published by the American Nursery and
Landscape Association.
Credits for Existing Materials: The developer may request
credit for plant materials preserved on site provided it
demonstrated that they have accurately identified (by specie)
and located (by survey), their correct location shown on the
grading ~lan and that measures.have been taken and shown on
the ~radlng plan to ensure their survival (i.e.; snow fence
barrier, appropriate distance to tree base and root
structure, etc.). This tree protection/?reservation plan
should be prepared by a forester, registered landscape
architect, arborist or equally qualified person.
a)
Existing trees must conform to the minimum size
requirements (identified in 2 above) to be credited.
4
b)
c)
Plants must be of approved species as currently recorded
by the City as appropriate mater%als. Weak wooded and
staff review of
data (plans and narrative) presented by the developer·
Criteria will include type of material, size, quality,
location and extent of site coverage·
4. Variation of Plant Sizes:
a)
b)
For all landscape plans, at least 10% of the coniferous
and/or deciduous canopy trees must exceed the minimum
size (to 8' high and 3 1~2" ~ali~er B & B respectively)
to establish some diversity in size.
For multi-family project~, 20% of the required plants
shall be of the larger sizes. These plants shall be
used in the areas for strategic screening, softening of
buildings, focal point enhancement, adjacent to
recreatlonal areas for shade, etc.
(D) Parking Lot Landscape
To avoid undesirable monotony, heat and wind associated with
large parking lots, such lots shall have lineal and row end
internal landscaped island/traffic delineators in addition to
any required traffic safety islands. Landscape islands shall
be at least 5% of the paved parking lot area in excess of
3000 square feet. A parking island is considered to be 9' x
18' or 162 square feet (equivalent of one parking stall),
although the shape and location will be a design option of
the developer. Minimum width shall be 6 feet.
Industrial storage yard, outdoor retail display areas or
similar type areas are exempted from the parking lot island
requirement.
Landscaping of parking lot islands shall include some
combination of mulch, lawn, shrubs and/or trees. The intent
is to provide shade, focus or promote traffic patterns,
(define drive aisles and rows of parking), limit rows of
visually uninterrupted parking stalls to a maximum of 180
feet, soften ground level views, yet maintain appropriate
visibility for safety.
Parking lot screening shall be provided on the perimeter of
any new parking lot.
a)
Screening shall be provided using a combination of
shrubs, coniferous trees, fencing, berming, etc., to
minimize the effect of headlights and reflected light
from bumpers, grills and headlights. Screening must
attempt to address at least 60% of the perimeter where
views of the parking lot could originate.
5
Se
b)
c)
d)
e)
Effectiveness of the screening shall be 80% opacity
year-round.
Berming must achieve a 30" height to provide 80% opacity
on 3' high screening (berms cannot be used as the only
method of screening. They must be used in combination
with other elements).
Plant materials must be spaced no more than 30" apart on
single rows of deciduous shrubs, 48" apart on double
staggered rows of deciduous shrubs, with initial planted
height of at least 2' (spacing may vary or be less
subject to species used).
Coniferous trees must be placed no further than 8'
apart, to be counted as screening.
Ail parking lot islands or landscape areas must be separated
from the parking surface by cast in place concrete curbs.
(E) Other Screening:
Developments shall make apparent design efforts to fully
screen service areas, trash storage, loading, mechanical
equipment, and other similar areas, from view by the general
public or adjacent residential areas. The screening
provisions for parking lots shall be followed except that
berming heights must be increased to a minimum of 4' with an
overall effective screening height of 6'. (Berms cannot be
used as the only method of screening. T~ey must be used in
combination with other elements.) Each site will be evaluated
as to its specific needs and solution which may exceed these
minimum standards.
(F) Grounds and Lawns:
Ail areas must be finished off with a stable landscape
(trees, shrubs, turf, mulch, etc.) or constructed surface.
No site areas can be left unfinished, subject to erosion.
Landscape rock or bark/wood chip mulch may be substituted for
sod in shrub and flower planting beds and building
maintenance strips.
Ail lawn areas and drainage swales shall be sodded. At least
1' width of sod shall be. provided a~jac~nt to all paved
surfaces or curbs. Seeding or reseeding is allowed for less
visible or large and remote portions of a site. that are
unused or subject to future development. Seed mixes could
include prairie grass or other appropriate low-maintenance
mixes.
Slopes in excess of 3:1 will not be allowed in areas intended
for maintained turf. Slopes of up to 1 1/2:1 may be allowed
with a slope stabilization plan approved by the city
otherwise terracing and/or retaining walls will be required.
6
All areas to be lawn and landscaped shall have a built-in
irrigation system. An irrigation plan shall be required at
the time of obtaining.the building permit. This plan shall
indicate the overlapping pattern, head type, control type and
location, source of water and connection method. The system
plan shall be ~repared by a ~ualified designer with
experience designing systems for slmi%ar uses (project type
and size). Permanent underground irrl~ation is not required
for existing, new or re-established native plant
communities.
Undisturbed areas containing existing viable
vegetation shall be maintained free of foreign or
plant materials.
natural
noxious
(G) Maintenance Standards:
Ail cultivated landscape areas shall be maintained by the
property owner to present a healthy, neat and orderly area.
This shall include:
a) Maintain a healthy, pest-free condition.
b) Remove dead, diseased or dangerous trees or shrubs or
parts thereof.
c) Provide appropriate pruning per National Arborist
Association and American Nurserymen Association
Standards.
d) Mowing and/or removal of noxious weeds and grasses.
e) Remove trash and other debris.
f) Watering to ensure plant growth and survival.
Natural plant communities shall be managed in order to
maintain the plant community for the purpose that it was
preserved or created. This includes trimming as needed of
all noxious vegetation and long grasses, removal of trash or
other debris and other horticulturally appropriate
maintenance methods for the specific type of plant
community.
(H) Performance Guarantee:
Ail plants shall be guaranteed by the developer for one year
after total project acceptance.
Irrigation shall be guaranteed for one year concurrent with
the plant guarantee. This will assure one winter season with
a fall shut down and spring start-up.
The developer shall notify the City prior to total project
acceptance, for City concurrence on the acceptability of the
complete landscape Installation. The City shall issue a
letter accepting the installation and therein fixing the date
for guarantee purposes.

4. The developer shall post a letter of credit with ~he City for
the complete landscape installation (plants, and Irrigation}.
The letter of credit shall be held by the.City and used,, if
necessary, to effect satisfactory completion of the project
for incomplete or failed work. The value of the letter of
credit shall be 125% of the estimated construction costs for
plants, irrigation, mulch and edgers.
Se
Release of the letter of credit or unused balance shall occur
following the City review of landscape and irrigation just
prior to the expiration o~ ~uarantee, providing that the
plants are acceptable and irrigation operable on that date.

NOTICE OF PUBLIC HEARING TO CONSIDER AN AMENDMENT
TO CITY OF PRIOR LAKE ZONING ORDINANCE 83-6.
You are hereby notified that the Prior Lake Planning Commission
will hold a public hearing to consider amending the Prior Lake
Zoning Ordinance 83-6 to add landscape requirements that would
apply to all business, industrial, multi-family residential,
public and institutional projects within the City of Prior Lake.
The hearing will be held in the Prior Lake City Council Chambers
located at 4629 Dakota Street S.E., Prior Lake, on Thursday
August 6, 1992 at 8:15 p.m.
The proposed amendment would add a substantial number of new
regulations to the Zoning Ordinance which outline required
landscaping improvements for specified development projects
within the City. A detailed copy of the proposed language is
available with the Prior Lake Plannzng Department and may be
reviewed or mailed to interested individuals upon request. The
proposed amendment encompasses eight fully typed pages. A
summary of the proposed language is outlined as follows:
The purpose of this ordinance is to establish performance
standards and minimum requirements for landscaping, buffering and
screening that will enhance the visual and aesthetic character of
property and site development within the City. The City Staff,
Planning Commission and City Council will utilize these standards
in the review and evaluation of such plans and development
proposals. This ordinance applies to all subdivision and site
plan approvals for business, industrial, multi-family residential
(projects of 3 or more dwelling units per building), public and
institutional uses as may be permitted or conditional within
their respective zoning districts. Existing uses shall comply
with this ordinance when they a?ply for building permits with
exceptions for an addition or additions that in total are under
ten percent of the existing structure's gross floor area or 4000
square feet, whichever is less.
The objectives of these requirements are to establish and
maintain forestation of the City; to pro¥ide appropriate ground
cover vegetation for controlled soil erosion; to preserve and
enhance, when necessary, the natural environment, particularly in
instances where the natural environment is disturbed during the
course of development; and, to establish standards for
utilization of natural and other materials to achieve desired
screening and buffering.
This ordinance sets forth minimum requirements for landscaping,
reforestation and technical limitations to assure that the result
is consistent with reasonable maintenance requirements on a

long-term basis and to assure that the results provide landscape
amenities to the urban environment. To help assure the best
possible results, plans will be prepared by a trained design
professional. A Registered Landscape Architect must be used on:
a)
b)
business, institutional and industrial development with
sites over 20,000 square feet or gross building area of
4,000 square feet or more, whichever is less;
multi-family residential (8 units or more).
A trained landscape designer may be used on smaller projects.
This ordinance is intended to provide standards that allow
flexibility in design and individual site needs. Designers are
encouraged to utilize site landscape elements (i.e.; trees,
shrubs, ~ro~nd covers, flowers, berms and ground form, fences,
walls, existing topography and vegetation, artforms, and other
similar items) in creative ways that are aesthetically pleas%ng
yet functional where required. In addition to compliance with
subsequent sections of this ordinance, plan review by the City
Planning Department will include such items as: choice of
materials, especially plantings, to determine if they are
functionally appropriate for the intended purpose; hardiness;
disease-resistance; compatible choice and mix of materials; do
materials complement and/or p~ovide ?leasing contrast to on-site
and off-site conditions to maintain interest; and other issues as
site appropriate. Specific site plans may be required to go
beyond the minimum requirements to meet the purpose and
objectives of this ordinance.
The proposed ordinance outlines the quantity, type and placement
of landscape requirements that are acceptable under the terms of
the ordinance. Specific language discusses the procedures for
calculation of requirements, credits for existing materials and
plant sizes for business/industrial, institutional, multi-family
residential sites, entry plantings, parking lot landscape and
miscellaneous screening requirements for grounds, lawns,
mechanical equipment and storage areas.
The proposed ordinance outlines maintenance standards such as the
maintenance of healthy, pest-free, materials, pruning, mowing,
removal of trash and noxious materials and maintenance
requirements for natural plant communities. Requirements for
performance guarantees are also outlined including a one year
guarantee for all plant materials after total project acceptance,
and guarantee for required irrigation system function.
Submission requirements for landscape plans are identified in the
proposed ordinance such as: Landscape plans must be drawn to
scale, show all proposed plants, quantities and sizes, seed/sod
areas/limits, etc. The plan(s) must include the entire project
area. Include project name, developer, registered landscape
architect or landscape designer, architect, dates, existing site
conditions (topography, vegetation, ponding areas or water
bodies, utilities, boundary data, walks, et?.), proposed site
conditions, (grading plan, tree preservatlon/?rotection plan,
etc.), site lighting, off site conditions approximately 100 feet
beyond the site, and other site conditions that would be expected
to affect landscaping.
Calculations to evaluate compliance with the ordinance provisions
including: area in square footage and percentage in total area
for building, parking lot (including driveways), landscape areas
and total area; and quantities of trees and shrubs required and
planted or preserved.
Supportive plans, details, written narrative notes,
cross-sections or other information as may be required by the
Planning Staff that is reasonable and necessary to demonstrate
the design intent and general compliance with this ordinance.
If you desire to be heard in reference to this issue, you should
attend this public hearing. The Planning Commission will accept
oral and or written comments. If you have questions regarding
this matter or would like to request a copy of the entire
proposed Landscape Ordinance, please contact the Prior Lake
Planning Department at 447-4230.

BRUCE LONEY, ASSISTANT CITY ENGINEER
CONSIDER REVISED STREET COLLECTOR
PROPOSAL
SEPTEMBER 8, 1992
FEE
INTRODUCTION:
BACKGROUND:
This Agenda item is a followup analysis from
the February 18, 1992 Council meeting in which
a proposed collector street fee proposal was
introduced. This proposal was a result of the
first phase of a Carriage Hill Road extension
westerly from Ferndale Avenue. This major
collector within the North Shore area will
require a significant investment to finance
the construction of this road system which
will eventually be completed to County Road
21. The feasibility study was completed on
this portion of Carriage Hill Road, however,
the project was discontinued as per the
property owners request.
Since then, the plat of Carriage Hills has
received preliminary and final plat approval.
This plat is adjacent to C.S.A.H. 21 and will
extend Carriage Hill Road easterly
approximately one-half mile to Pike Lake
Trail. The majority of the funding for
Carriage Hill Road is expected to come from
Municipal State Aid (MSA) funds. However,
another revenue source will be needed in
addition to MSA funds in order for the City to
complete the anticipated MSA street collector
projects in the next five years.
In order to construct all MSA improvements as
proposed within the 1993 Capital Improvement
Program (CIP), it may be necessary for the
City to establish a collector street fee.
Therefore, staff is requesting Council review
and discussion of such a charge as outlined
within this report. This ltem will be
discussed at the September 3, 1992 Council
workshop.
For the most part the City's collector system
of streets on the MSAS system which have been
improved, have allowed both residential and
commercial access. Some examples of these
would be Fish Point Road, Fairlawn Shores
Trail and Duluth Avenue. This past policy of

AN EQUAL OPPORTUNITY EMPLOYER
granting full access provided benefit to the
property owners and allowed the City to assess
all or a portion of these improvements. In
those cases, Municipal State Aid funds were
only utilized to pay for the oversizing cost
of the road.
Standards, especially in the area of safety,
have changed with respect to high volume
collector streets. Driveway access is not a
desirable condition and is no longer all?wed
or, at the most, approved on a limited basis.
Because this practice precludes immediate
development fronting on collectors, the City
cannot expect to be successful in assessing
the full amount to the abutting property.
Given this access policy the co,t/benefit
relationship may not be supported in court.
Instead, the benefit of individual access has
transcended to an area-wide benefit and
developer benefit with the addition of trail
corridors which funnel pedestrian travel as
well as vehicular traffic of adjacent
residential developments that depend upon
these collectors for ingress and egress. As
such, an area-wide fee and developer fee would
be considered appropriate.
An example of a collector street without
direct frontage access of lots is Crest Avenue
and Carriage Hill Road thru the Sand Pointe
development. In this case, the developer was
required to install the grading, sidewalk on
one side of the street and dedicate all of the
City.
right of way to the Staff feels that
this scenario of development places too much
of the collector street cost on the developer
who happens to have the collector within his
development area. An area-wide acreage fee
and building permit fee would distribute the
cost more equitably to all the users of the
collector street.
DISCUSSION-.
Carriage Hill Road is actually the first such
collector the City will be constructing thru
largely undeveloped tracts of land. There are
other MSAS designated streets on ou~ system
such as Fish Point Road that will be installed
in the future. As a result, Council action
concerning a collector street fee policy will
lay out the ground rules for these ~rojects.
Whatever is concluded will be very important
in establishing precedence and developing
fair and equitable method of cost recovery o~
our collector roads.
Staff recognized that keeping the cost level
down would be a primary objective not only to
the Council, but developers and property
owners alike. Identifying which costs should
be paid for and what method of cost
distribution would be the most effective were
two key concerns of Staff. A number of
criteria and assumptions were made to resolve
these issues.
In the initial analysis of the collector
street fee presented to Council on February
18, 1992, staff based the collector street
costs on an ideal 1/2 mile by 1/2 mile
collector street system. Costs were developed
based on this model and the fees were
structured to pay for the trails and excess
right of way cost over 50 feet in width based
on $8,000.00 per acre. This analysis
determined that a $700.00 per net acre charge
of development and $150.00 fee per building
permit is needed to recoup these costs.
Since the initial presentation of the
collector street fee, staff has reconsidered
its method for developing the fee structure.
Calculating the actual shortfall of collector
street funds was the major item of information
needed in determining a collector street fee
schedule. Staff utilized the first draft of
the 1993 CIP for an indication of costs in a
five year period. The projected total of MSA
roadway costs in this five year period which
includes Carriage Hill Road, Fish Point Road
thru Greenbriar, C.S.A.H. 23 and 170th Street
to complete commercial ring road, Northwood
Road and Duluth Avenue is $3,390,000.00. This
amount does not include any right-of-way (ROT)
acquisition costs The revenue source is
mainly thru MSA funds and is projected to be
as follows:
1)
2)
MSA account balance $ 900,000.00
(1992 allocation included)
MSA 1993-1997 allocations $1,350,000.00
($270,000.00 x 5 Years)
TOTAL $2,225,000.00
The City can borrow up to three years
allocation of its MSA fund allocation for MSA
projects. Staff feels that borrowing one
year's allocation should be the maximum so as
not to deplete the MSA account.
By borrowing one year's allocation, the total
MSA funds available for the 1993-1997 CIP
period is $2,520,000.00. The shortfall of
funds for this five year period if all the
rojects are completed is. projected to be
870~000.00. Based on thls f~ve year CIP
projection, the City will need to modify, its
approach by implementing one of the following
action steps:
1.) Delay MSA street projects.
2.) Adopt additional revenue source.
3.) Scale back the project scope.
If an additional revenue mechanism is
considered, the most favorable funding
approach would be to create a two-tier fee.
One would be an acreage fee that would be
complemented by a road charge on the building
permit. This would share the financial
responsibility between the builder and the
land owner/developer. In-fill lots throughout
the City would also participate in the
building permit fee.
cities such as Savage and Eagan charge $206.00
and $380.00 respectively for their collector
street fee for a single family building
permit. Staff arrived at a fee of $250.00 in
its cost analysis, in an effort to balance the
acreage fee.
The lot fees would be paid at time of building
~ermit application. The acreage fee would be
Incorporated into the developers agreement and
paid at time of final ~lat approval. The
acreage fee would be applied only in the event
of new development. Commercial and industrial
property shall be charged the same rate.
However, the building ~ermit charge shall be
calculated upon RED units as defined in the
City's Assessment Policy.
The fees collected would be dedicated to a
Street Collector Fund and used solely for the
purpose of those improvements associated with
a Municipal State Aid project such as concrete
curb and gutter, concrete sidewalk, storm
sewer, landscaping, lighting, paving and other
similar types of improvements. This would
provide the fiscal resources needed in future
anticipation of the Bridge connection and its
correlating impact upon Prior Lake.
Staff has prepared four revenue scenarios for
the Council to consider in establishing a
collector fee structure. These alternatives
are attached to the Council Agenda packet.
The proposed financing methods are summarized
as follows:
Revenue Mix #1
Under this proposal, the street right of way
is 100% dedicated by the developer. The
following charges while not providing for a
balanced expenditure/revenue formula does
represent a beginning point.
Building permit charge ...$250.00
Net acreage charge ...$700.00/acre.
Projected surplus/shortfall ...<$340,000.00>
~v
e includesa connection charge
to the developer for 50% of a 32 foot wide
local street equivalent cost. The developer
will dedicate 50 feet of right-of-way and the
City will reimburse the right-of-way in excess
of 50 feet at $8,000.00 per acre.
Building Permit charge ...$250.00
Net acreage charge . .$1000.00/acre.
Projected surplus/shortfall .~.$6,000.00
Revenue Mix #3
This option eliminates the local street
equivalent connection charge to the developer.
The developer will again dedicate 50 feet of
right-of-way and the City will reimburse the
right-of-way in excess of 50 feet at $8,000.00
per acre.
Building permit charge ...$250.00
Net acreage charge ...$1750.00/acre.
Projected surplus/shortfall ...<$4,000.00>
Revenue Mix #4
This application also eliminates the local
street equivalent connection charge and
provides 100% right of way reimbursement to
the developer at a cost of $8,000.00 per
acre.
Building permit charge ...$250.00
Net acreage charge ...$1950.00/acre.
Projected surplus/shortfall ...<$8,000.00>
ALTERNATIVES:
The alternatives are as follows:
1. Approve a follow-up resolution
establishing a collector street fee
structure as outlined.
Authorize a resolution to incorporate fee
amounts as determined by the Council.
3. Reject the collector street fee
proposal.
RECOMMENDATION:
4. Table action for further consideration.
Staff would recommend Revenue Mix #3, adopting
street collector fees in the amount of $250.00
per lot on the building permit and a net
acreage fee of $1,750.00/acre. This
alternative scenario is favored by staff as
the most equitable cost sharing method between
developer, builder, and resident. Also staff
believes that reimbursement above the 50 foot
right of way dedication is consistent with
platting of property which do not require
collector streets.
BUDGET IMPACT:
ACTION REQUIRED:
While Staff recommends Revenue Mix #3, the
advantage of adopting a minimal fee under
Revenue Mix #1 is that it provides a
"foot-in-the-door" approach to a new revenue
charge. This charge could be fine tuned as
the improvement projects are completed
throughout the course of the five year CIP and
as development pressure may dictate This
choice may be a good starting point for this
fee proposal.
Depending upon Council action, the Assessment
Policy would be amended to include a section
pertaining to the subject of collector fees.
Effective date of application for all new
plats would be immediately.
No initial impact upon the City's operating
budget would result. In effect the City's tax
and bond rating position will be enhanced and
strengthened as special levies for these
collector streets may be avoided.
If the Council consensus was one of endorsing
such a funding method then a resolution will
be subsequently drafted adopting the schedule
and fee amount as proposed.
The alternatives have the folloving assumptions in analyzing the
collector street fees to fund the costs associated with the City's
Municipal State Aid collectors in the next five years:
1.)
3.)
The street is on the City's MSA system.
No direct lot access will be allowed on the street
collector.
The street right of way width will be in excess of 50 feet.
ALTERNATIVE NO. i
This alternative compares the MSA street costs to revenue sources,
both current and proposed. The proposed additional charges are the
$700.00 per net acre of future development, $250.00 per single family
building permit. Developer dedicates all right of way for the
collector street.
