BACKGROUND: KJ Walk Inc. has applied for approval of a Final Plat, Development Agreement, and Final PUD for a development to be known as Stone Path. The application proposes 11 single-family detached residential lots on approximately 5.38 gross acres (4.13 net developable acres) at 4730 140th Street NE. Current Circumstances On July 22, 2024, KJ Walk Inc. formally submitted the application for this project. Following the public hearing on September 22, 2025, the Planning Commission voted unanimously to recommend approval of the Preliminary Plat and Preliminary PUD to the City Council. The City Council subsequently approved the Preliminary Plat and Preliminary PUD. The proposed final plat is substantially similar to the approved preliminary plans. Final Plat Development Plan The subject parcel remains 5.38 acres with 4.13 acres developable for residential homes. Topography and wetland locations require lot size variations that are addressed through the PUD to maintain a minimum density of 2.67 units per acre, which is consistent with the R-1 zoning and LD-R land use standards (minimum 2.5 units per acre). Tree Replacement: The developer has finalized the tree replacement plan based on the removal of 199 significant trees (2,506” DBH). After discounting abated trees in required infrastructure areas, applying the 35% removal allowance and a credit for one preserved heritage tree, the net replacement obligation is 162 caliper inches. Security will be required to guarantee this replacement. Streets and Utilities: Public streets will be constructed to 28’ curb-to-curb width within a 55’ Right- of-Way, matching the existing Bluebird Trail NE connection. Sanitary sewer and watermains will be extended through Bluebird Trail NE. Easements: A conservation easement will be recorded over a significant portion of the property near CSAH 42 and dedicated to the Prior Lake – Spring Lake Watershed District. City of Prior Lake | 4646 Dakota Street SE | Prior Lake MN 55372 Item 5I Page | 2 Conclusion City staff has determined the project is substantially similar to the proposed preliminary plat and recommends approval of the final plat, final PUD and development agreement with the following conditions: a.
