ITEM: 5F
CITY COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT
MEETING DATE: May 12, 2026
PREPARED BY: Paul Moretto, Planner
PRESENTED BY: Casey McCabe, Community Development Director
AGENDA ITEM: Resolution Approving a Combined Preliminary and Final Plat and
Development Agreement for a Subdivision known as Prior Lake Revival
RECOMMENDED ACTION:
Approval of a resolution approving a Combined Preliminary and Final Plat and Development
Agreement for Prior Lake Revival.
BACKGROUND:
On February 27, 2023 the Prior Lake Planning Commission recommended approval of the
preliminary plat and approved a variance for a reduction in the floor area ratio (FAR) of a
substantially similar project on this site. The City Council reviewed the proposal and approved
Resolution 23-53 approving the Prior Lake Revival Preliminary Plat.
As part of this project, stormwater management proved to be a very challenging component of
the proposal. The development team for Revival II spent time reviewing alternatives to the
previous stormwater plan. The solution was to acquire a parcel to the west of the subject property
and include its area into the project.
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. Lot 1 Block 1 and Outlot A.
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 access Duluth Avenue through Revival I 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.
th
On May 4, 2026 the Planning Commission held a hearing to consider a requested variance from
the minimum floor area ratio requirement and a recommendation to the city council related to the
combined preliminary and final plat. The planning commission voted 5-0 to approve the variance
request and to recommend city council approval of combined preliminary and final plat.

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 3.76 acres which is proposed to be subdivided into two lots
of approximately 1.05 acres, lot one block one, and 2.41 acres, Outlot A, respectively.
Topography: This area has relatively level topography, with elevations ranging from the 936’
MSL in the northwestern corner to a high point of 966’ MSL in the southwestern portion of the site
above the retaining wall.
Access: Access to the site will be from a private access agreement through the parking lot east
of the subject property. An ingress and egress easement is in place to allow access through the
parking lot to Duluth Avenue SW.
2040 Comprehensive Plan Designation: This property is designated as TC, Town Center on
the 2040 Comprehensive Plan Land Use Map
Zoning: The site is presently zoned TC, Town Center.
PROPOSED PLAN
Commercial Development: The development plan calls for a single 10,910 square foot
commercial building which will be occupied by three or four businesses. Exterior building
elevations with varying colors and materials types including glass, masonry, and architectural
cement board. Awnings and varying wall heights as well as wall breaks are also proposed in
accordance with the City Code.
Materials: Section 10-705 establishes the design requirements for buildings in the TC zoning
district. The materials for the proposed building meet the TC requirements for buildings not
located on Main Avenue or Dakota Street.
Frontage Requirement Proposed (%)

Public ROW 50 50
Rear/Side 35 42 (east) | 46 (west) | 43 (south)
Building Setbacks: The developer does not request any modification to the re- quired TC, Town
Center Zoning District building setbacks:
Setbacks Required Proposed
Minimum
(TC Zoning)
Front None 15.3’
Side 0’ 10.1’
Rear 0’ 137.2’
Landscaping: The landscaping plan identifies 23 overstory trees as well as various shrubs and
landscape beds in accordance with the City Code. The lot has been surveyed for significant trees
with none found on property.
Item 5F

Sanitary Sewer / Water Mains: Sanitary sewer and watermains will be extended from the private
parking lot east of the site.
Grading / Storm water: The site will be graded so that the storm water drainage is directed to a
storm water basin on outlot A to meet the City’s water quality and runoff requirements. The basin
will pretreat the stormwater runoff of the development prior to flowing into the area wetlands.
Fees and Assessments: This development will be subject to the standard development fees
including park dedication and trunk utility service charges.
FINANCIAL IMPACT: Construction of the project will help diversify the city’s property tax base.
ALTERNATIVES:
1. Motion and a second to approve a resolution approving the Combined Preliminary and
Final Plat and Development Agreement for Prior Lake Revival with conditions.
2. Remove this item from the consent agenda for additional discussion.
