Commissioner and Staff Comments:
Director McCabe: Explained that Marsh Drive has long been planned as a continuous
connection in the City’s 2040 Comprehensive Plan, with right-of-way already dedicated for this
purpose in pervious plats. No development or street construction is currently proposed; the
request is only to subdivide the parcel and dedicate necessary right-of-way. Tree removal would
occur only with future construction, the timing of which is unknown. Speeding concerns are
common citywide and addressed through enforcement. McCabe mentioned that the proposed
connection would function similarly to other local streets throughout the City.
Chair Fleming: Highlighted concerns about habitat impacts and asked whether the City could
work with the DNR or other agencies to minimize disruption.
Director McCabe: Noted that a feasibility study would be done if the project advances, including
surveying and identifying trees for removal. Any nesting sites would be protected under
applicable regulations.
Commissioner Schmokel: Asked how sidewalk needs are determined as rural areas develop.
Director McCabe: Said sidewalk needs are evaluated when subdivisions are created based on
density and nearby destinations. They are rarely added later due to resident opposition and
maintenance responsibilities, though neighborhoods may request an engineering review if they
desire sidewalks after residential development.
MOTION BY FENSTERMACHER, SECONDED BY TENNISON TO RECOMMEND TO THE
CITY COUNCIL TO APPROVE THE REZONING FROM A (AGRICULTURAL) TO R-1 (LOW
DENSITY RESIDENTIAL) AND RECOMMEND THE APPROVAL OF THE COMBINED
PRELIMINARY AND FINAL PLAT FOR MARSH DRIVE SUBJECT TO THE LISTED
CONDITIONS IN THE REPORT.
VOTE: Ayes by Fleming, Fenstermacher, Tennison, Schmokel, and Nicholson.

PLANNING COMMISSION AGENDA REPORT
MEETING DATE: October 19, 2026
AGENDA #: 4A
PREPARED BY: Casey McCabe, Community Development Director
PRESENTED BY: Casey McCabe
AGENDA ITEM: Consider a Recommendation for an Amendment to Chapter 6, Park & Trail
System Plan, of the City of Prior Lake 2040 Comprehensive Plan
DISCUSSION: Introduction
The purpose of this public hearing is to consider a recommendation to the City
Council related to a city staff request for an amendment to Chapter 6, Park &
Trail System Plan, of the City of Prior Lake 2040 Comprehensive Plan. The
amendment would remove approximately 1.81 acres from the Raspberry Woods
Park area identified on page 199 of the Park & Trail System Plan. The property
proposed to be removed from the Park & Trail System Plan, PID 259260250 (the
“Subject Parcel”), is located north of Manitou Road NE.
Background
Minnesota Statutes section 473.864 requires each local governmental unit to
review and, if necessary, amend its entire comprehensive plan at least once every
ten years. The Comprehensive Plan is a compilation of policy statements, goals,
standards, and maps that guide the physical, social, and economic
development, both private and public, of the city. The City of Prior Lake adopted
the 2040 Comprehensive Plan on June 1, 2020.
On June 11, 2024, the City Council approved Resolution No. 24-059 amending
the 2040 Comprehensive Plan to replace Chapter 6, Parks and Trails, with a
revised Chapter 6, Park & Trail System Plan.
Current Circumstances
The City of Prior Lake acquired several parcels which were previously forfeited
to the State of Minnesota for the nonpayment of taxes via Conveyance of
Forfeited Lands in 1994. Pursuant to Minnesota Statutes Section 282.01, Subd.
1a, the City of Prior Lake applied to the Commissioner of Revenue for the
conveyance of lands to be used for public purposes. The parcels were
transferred to the City in September 1994 and the Conveyance of Forfeited
Lands was recorded in the office of the Scott County Recorder on November 28,
1994 as Document Nos. 345833 & 345834.
One of the parcels acquired in 1994 was the Subject Parcel; this parcel was
conveyed to the City of Prior Lake for park purposes. When the Subject Parcel
was conveyed to the City from the Department of Revenue, the conditional use
deed included use restriction and reverter language requiring the City to use the
land for a public purpose along with a condition that if such use shall cease, the
land shall revert to the State of Minnesota.
2
In 2010, Minnesota Statutes 282.01, Subd. 1d.(d) was amended to include
language stating a conditional use deed is released from the use restriction and
reverter 30 years from the date the deed was acknowledged. More than thirty
years has passed since the conveyance document was issued and recorded, so
the parcel is released from the use restriction and reverter language.
On September 22, 2026, the City Council held a public hearing and approved a
resolution approving a public property use change to remove the park public
purpose criteria from the Subject Parcel, directed staff to prepare a
comprehensive plan amendment for consideration by the planning commission
to remove the Subject Parcel from the Park & Trail System Plan, and authorized
the disposal of the Subject Parcel.
Although not programmed parkland, the Subject Parcel is identified as being
included in the Raspberry Woods Park area in the Park & Trail System Plan
within the 2040 City of Prior Lake Comprehensive Plan. An amendment to the
comprehensive plan is required to remove this parcel from the Raspberry Woods
Park area prior to disposing of the parcel.
Conclusion
Section 10-933 of Prior Lake City Code requires a public hearing to be held
before any amendment to the comprehensive plan is adopted. The proposed
amendments shall be submitted to the planning commission for its
consideration; the planning commission shall consider the testimony received
at the public hearing, the staff report, and other material deemed pertinent and
shall report its findings and recommendations to the city council.
On September 22, 2026, the City Council approved a resolution removing the
public park purpose of the Subject Parcel, therefore, it is no longer necessary for
the Subject Parcel to be identified as parkland in the Park & Trail System Plan.
City staff is recommending the Planning Commission approve a motion
recommending City Council approval of 2040 Comprehensive Plan amendment
to remove the Subject Parcel from the Raspberry Woods Park area in Chapter
6, Park and Trail System Plan, of the 2040 City of Prior Lake Comprehensive
Plan.
ALTERNATIVES: 1. Motion and a second to recommend approval of the 2040 Comprehensive
Plan amendment to amend Chapter 6, Park and Trail System Plan to remove
the Subject Parcel from the Raspberry Woods park area.
2. Provide direction to staff and continue discussion at a future meeting.

PLANNING COMMISSION AGENDA REPORT
MEETING DATE: October 19, 2026
AGENDA #: 4B
PREPARED BY: Paul Moretto, Planner
PRESENTED BY: Paul Moretto
AGENDA ITEM: CONSIDER AMENDMENTS TO PRIOR LAKE CITY CODE SECTION 10-
439 RELATING TO IMPERVIOUS SURFACE STANDARDS FOR
SHORELAND PLANNED UNIT DEVELOPMENTS AND AMENDMENTS
TO SECTION 10-434 ADDING UNNAMED LAKES
DISCUSSION: Introduction
City staff recommends an amendment to Section 10-439(d)(3)b to establish a 25
percent impervious surface coverage limit for the entire shoreland area within a
project site for residential shoreland planned unit developments (PUDs). The
amendment follows the residential PUD approach in the Minnesota Department of
Natural Resources (DNR) Shoreland Model Ordinance, Section 10.64.B, and re-
tains the existing tier-based standards for commercial PUDs. Additionally, the DNR
requires the Shoreland regulations be revised to include three additional Natural
Environment Lakes to our Lakes Classification list in Section 10-434.
Background
The proposed amendment is City-initiated and is in response to difficulties with the
strict application of the current city code requirement limiting the maximum imper-
vious coverage to 25 percent within each tier.
Section 10-439 currently applies a 25 percent limit within each tier to both residen-
tial and commercial PUDs. As a result, a residential project may satisfy a 25 percent
limit overall while exceeding the limit in an individual tier. The DNR model treats
residential impervious coverage across the entire project site and regulates com-
mercial coverage by tier.
The reason for the proposed change stems from two main issues. The first is the
shoreland density transfer and the second from the nature of residential develop-
ment and roads.
The Shoreland PUD provisions allow density to be transferred from a tier closer to
the water to a tier farther from the water. This encourages development to be lo-
cated farther from the shoreline while preserving open space and meeting applica-
ble density requirements. However, the existing 25 percent impervious surface limit
within each tier can restrict development in the landward tiers where additional den-
sity is intended to be accommodated to meet the minimum 2.5 unit per acre require-
ment for a low density residential subdivision.
Residential developments also require roads, sidewalks, and other infrastructure to
serve individual homes. Depending on the configuration of a development, these
improvements can consume a substantial portion of the allowable impervious sur-
face within a particular tier. Applying the 25 percent limit to the entire residential
2
PUD site would provide greater flexibility in locating these improvements while
maintaining the overall impervious surface limitation.
The second part of the proposal to amend the code comes from the DNR requesting
we update our inventory of lakes to include three new lakes within Prior Lake’s ju-
risdiction. This is administrative in nature and this should be done as soon as we
become aware of our responsibilities to these lakes.
Proposed Amendment
The draft replaces Section 10-439(d)(3)b. Stormwater runoff must continue to be
managed in accordance with the City’s Public Works Design Manual (PWDM). The
coverage standards would apply as follows:
PUD type Current standard Proposed standard
Residential 25% of each tier 25% of the entire project
site within the shoreland
overlay district
Commercial 25% of each tier; conditional
35% exception in the first tier of
general development lakes
Retain existing standard
and exception
Application and resource protection
A site-wide residential limit allows impervious surfaces to be distributed among ti-
ers, including a tier exceeding 25 percent, provided total coverage remains within
25 percent of the project site. Staff would review a coverage schedule identifying
the project boundary and all counted impervious improvements, including buildings,
driveways, roads, sidewalks, and other applicable surfaces. Future improvements
must be evaluated against the remaining project coverage allowance and applica-
ble lot and PUD requirements.
The amendment changes the geographic basis of the residential PUD calculation.
Tier-based density and suitability evaluations, setbacks, open space preservation,
shore and bluff impact zone protections, and stormwater requirements continue to
apply.
DNR review
Staff submitted the proposed amendment to the Minnesota Department of Natural
Resources (DNR) on October 2, 2026. In a letter dated October 5, 2026, the DNR
granted conditional approval, finding the proposed amendment substantially com-
pliant with state shoreland rules. The DNR did not require changes to the proposed
language for Section 10-439(d)(3)b.
As a condition of final approval, the DNR directed the City to identify three additional
public water basins in Section 10-434 as Natural Environment Lakes. The DNR
identified the following basins:
Protected water DNR basin number Classification
Unnamed basin 70018600 Natural Environment
Unnamed basin 70015300 Natural Environment
Unnamed basin 70016900 Natural Environment
Basin 70018600 was identified in connection with annexation docket A-8513. The
DNR also identified City shoreland associated with basins 70015300 and
3
70016900. The DNR advised that no special wording is needed beyond listing the
protected waters and their classifications.
If ultimately adopted by the City Council, the City must submit the adopted ordi-
nance and required documentation to the DNR for final approval.
Conclusion
The proposed amendment aligns the City’s residential shoreland PUD impervious
surface standards with the DNR model ordinance by establishing a 25 percent cov-
erage limit for the entire project site within the shoreland overlay. This approach
allows flexibility in the distribution of impervious surfaces within residential develop-
ments while retaining the existing tier-based standards for commercial PUDs.
The amendment maintains the City’s stormwater management requirements and
does not change shoreland density calculations, setbacks, open space require-
ments, or shore and bluff impact zone protections. The related update to Section
10-434(a) would identify the three additional public water basins specified by the
DNR and list their Natural Environment classification.
Staff recommends that the Planning Commission recommend City Council approval
of the proposed shoreland ordinance amendments.
ISSUES: City staff are requesting the Planning Commission hold a hearing and recommend
approval of the proposed amendments associated with Section 10-439 and 10-434
of the Prior Lake City Code.
ALTERNATIVES: 1. Motion and a second recommending approval of the proposed amendments to
Section 10-439 and Section 10-434 of the Prior Lake City Code.
2. Motion and a second recommending denial of the proposed amendments to
Section 10-439 and Section 10-434 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.
