The applicant is proposing to subdivide two previously platted outlots, totaling approximately 2.55-acres, into two lots for future low density residential development. The subject property is located to the west of Ponds Parkway SE, north of Mushtown Road, and southeast of Ridgewood Court SE. History The property, which totals approximately 111,004 sq. ft., is undeveloped and was originally platted as outlots for the adjacent Woodridge Estates 4th Addition and Parkwood Estates developments. The applicant is proposing to create an approximate 59,036 sq. ft. vacant parcel and an approximate 51,963 sq. ft. vacant parcel along Ponds Parkway SE for future single family residential development. The applicant is also proposing to vacate existing drainage and utility easements and replace them with the standard drainage and utility easements required as part of the development. Subsection 9-34 of City Code allows for the combination of a preliminary and final plat in one action due to the simplicity of the proposed subdivision provided: ➢ The resulting subdivision contains no more than 5 lots. The resulting subdivision will contain two lots. ➢ The proposed subdivision is located in an area where streets and utilities are in place and capable of serving the subdivision. Streets and utilities are available and capable of serving the subdivision. ➢ The proposed subdivision does not require the dedication or construction of future streets and will not interfere with the development of adjacent properties. The proposed subdivision will dedicate the necessary right-of-way on Ponds Parkway SE and will not require construction of streets or interfere with development of adjacent property. ➢ The resulting lots shall conform with all provisions of the Zoning Code unless a variance has been granted. The resulting lots will both conform with all provisions of the Zoning Code and variances will not be necessary. Current Circumstances The following paragraphs outline the physical characteristics of the existing site, the comprehensive plan and zoning designations, and a description of some of the specifics of the site. PHYSICAL SITE CHARACTERISTICS: Total Site Area: The total site area is 2.55 acres which is proposed to be subdivided into two lots of approximately 1.36 acres and 1.19 acres respectively. Wetlands: A Basic Management Class wetland is located on the site, which requires a buffer strip with a minimum width of 15 feet and an average width of 30 feet. The owner will be required to enter into a Developer’s Agreement with the Prior Lake Spring Lake Watershed District for the establishment and recording of a Declaration for Conservation Easements over the buffer area. Access: Access to both lots are available from Ponds Parkway SE to the east. Only full curb panels are to be removed for driveway aprons. 2040 Comprehensive Plan Designation: This property is designated for low density residential on the 2040 Comprehensive Plan Land Use Map. Zoning: The subject property is currently zoned R-1, low density residential. The subject property conforms with the Comprehensive Land Use Plan Map guidance. Parks / Trails: The proposed trail along Ponds Parkway must extend to the northern property line. Sanitary Sewer / Water Mains: City utility work will need to be completed before or concurrently with this project. A Notice to Proceed will not be issued until City work is underway. The shared sanitary sewer service for the proposed homes will be private to the existing manhole similar to other sanitary sewer services in the City. An agreement will be required between the two properties for responsibility and maintenance of the shared manhole and sanitary sewer service to the existing manhole. Curb stops should be shifted to the property line near the connection with the watermain. Utility easements shall be provided in favor of Lot 2 across Lot 1 for proposed water service. There is a need for future grinder stations to accommodate sanitary sewer service for the lots. Concept grinder stations should be shown outside of any drainage and utility easements. Storm Water Management: Stormwater meets the threshold for treatment. Proposed new impervious is greater than 3,500 square feet, the applicant will be required to meet City stormwater requirements for rate and volume control. A Stormwater Management Report shall be submitted showing how the requirements will be met. An NPDES permit is required for this site as it exceeds 1 acre of disturbance prior to construction. All proposed drainage slopes shall be at a minimum of 2%. The swale near the home on the northern parcel will need to either have a drainage and utility easement dedicated for drainage or be graded to direct water down property lines within the current proposed drainage and utility easement. Provide calculations modeling the existing 100-year, 10-day snowmelt event to determine if the wetland is landlocked or not. It will be considered landlocked if the existing outlet elevation of 996.0 is higher than this elevation. Stormwater requirements and grading plans will be reviewed by City staff as part of a future building permit review process. An NPDES permit will be required for this site as it exceeds 1 acre of disturbance prior to construction. Easement Vacation: The city’s standard 10 ft. drainage and utility easements were dedicated over the existing southern parcel (Outlot A, Parkwood Estates) in 2021. The city’s standard drainage and utility easements were not dedicated over the northerly parcel (Outlot A, Woodridge Estates Fourth Addition) when that property was platted in 1998. The applicants are proposing to dedicate the necessary drainage and utility easements on the final plat of Ridgewood Court. With the dedication of necessary easements on Ridgewood Court, the previously dedicated easements on Outlot A, Parkwood Estates are no longer necessary and may be vacated. The Resolution to vacate the Parkwood Estates easements will be considered by the City Council and will include a condition that the easements shall not be vacated until the plat of Ridgewood Court is approved. Conclusion City staff recommends approval of the request for Combined Preliminary and Final Plat and easement vacation. The action proposed by the property owner has been anticipated as the next required step prior to sale or further development of the property. ALTERNATIVES: 1. Motion and a second to recommend the City Council approve the Easement Vacation and Combined Preliminary and Final Plat for Ridgewood Court subject to the comments listed in this report and the Ridgewood Court Review Memorandum dated 3/26/26. 2. Motion and a second to recommend the City Council deny the Easement Vacation and Combined Preliminary and Final Plat request based upon findings of fact. 3. Motion and a second to table this item to a future Planning Commission meeting and provide the applicant with direction. RECOMMENDED MOTION: Alternative #1 ATTACHMENTS: 1. Location Map 2.

The amend- ment would establish a new land use category of “Motor vehicle sales, no-inven- tory” and define where and under what conditions this use may occur. This would require adding this new use to Section 10-185 Land use table as a use permitted with conditions in the TC, C-1, C-2, C-3, and I-1 districts. Background The proposed amendment is City-initiated and was developed in response to recent inquiries and conditional use permit (CUP) requests for motor vehicle sales busi- nesses that do not maintain vehicle inventory on the premises. Over the last five years, the City has been approached by several motor vehicle sales businesses that do not keep inventory on premises and wish to locate an office in Prior Lake. In Minnesota, motor vehicle sales dealerships are required to be located in a permanent, enclosed commercial building, owned or leased for at least one year, and comply with local zoning regulations. As part of the state licensing process, auto sales dealers must verify that auto sales are a permissible use for the location of their business. A form must be completed by the dealer as certified by the city. Because motor vehicle sales are currently classified as a conditional use in Prior Lake, the proposed business must engage with the CUP process whether they plan to have vehicles stored on the site and operate as a traditional vehicle dealership. Under the current ordinance, motor vehicle sales are regulated as a conditional use primarily intended for traditional dealership operations involving outdoor display and storage of vehicles. However, recent applications have involved business models that operate from an office setting without vehicle inventory on the premises. Because the existing ordinance does not clearly address this type of operation, the amendment is intended to provide clarity, establish appropriate standards, and en- sure consistent application of zoning regulations. The proposed ordinance amendment does not modify the standards for traditional motor vehicle sales uses. Proposed Amendment 2 Staff recommends the following amendment items: • Create a new defined use category titled “motor vehicle sales, no-inventory.” • Establish operational standards ensuring the use functions as an office- based use with all activity conducted within a building. • Add Motor vehicle sales, no-inventory as a permitted with conditions (PWC) in Section 10-185, Land Use Table in the TC, C-1, C-2, C-3, and I-1 districts. Key conditions include: • No outdoor display, storage, or parking of vehicles for sale. • No overnight vehicle inventory on the premises. • All business operations conducted within an enclosed building. • No vehicle repair, servicing, or detailing on-site. • Compliance with off-street parking and operational standards. • Maximum 24 hours for a vehicle pick-up and/or delivery. These standards distinguish traditional dealerships from office-based vehicle sales operations while maintaining compatibility with surrounding uses. Conclusion The proposed amendment is intended to: • Provide clarity in zoning administration • Address evolving business models • Ensure appropriate land use compatibility • Maintain regulatory consistency Generally, office-based vehicle sales operations have fewer impacts than traditional dealerships because they do not involve outdoor inventory, lighting, noise, or large - scale vehicle traffic. The proposed standards are designed to ensure these opera- tions remain low-intensity and consistent with other commercial uses. Public Notice was published in accordance with hearing requirements. ISSUES: City staff are requesting the Planning Commission hold a hearing and recommend approval of the proposed amendments associated with Section 10-268 of the Prior Lake City Code. ALTERNATIVES: 1. Motion and a second recommending approval of the proposed amendments to Section 10-268 and Section 10-185 of the Prior Lake City Code. 2. Motion and a second recommending denial of the proposed amendments to Section 10-268 and Section 10-185 of the Prior Lake City Code. 3. Motion and a second to table discussion of the item to a future meeting date and provide staff with direction. RECOMMENDED MOTIONS: ATTACHMENTS: Alternative #1 1.
