HORST GRASER, DIRECTOR OF PLANNING
CONSIDER APPROVAL OF PRIORVIEW PUD PHASE 3A
PRELIMINARY PLAT AMENDMENT
AUGUST 20, 1990
This item appears before the City Council at
the request of Mr. Joe Knoblauch, who is
petitioning for preliminary plat approval for
Phase 3A of the priorwood PUD (see attached
planning report).
Phase 3A (20 townhouses) of priorwood PUD was
approved on April 1, 1985, subject to 19
conditions of which all but 3 have been met.
The preliminary approval expired one year
after the date of the hearin9' Therefore, in
order for Mr. Knoblauch to fl.le a final plat
he must first seek preliminary PUD approval.
The Planning Commission conducted a Public
Hearing on August 2, 1990. The following are
their findings and recommendations: Motion by
Commissioner Arnold and seconded by
Commissioner Loftus to approve the preliminary
PUD contingent on the following items:
1. THE NAME OF THE PLAT BE CHANGED TO
PRIORVIEW 2ND ADDITION.
2. CONDITIONS OF THE CITY ENGINEER BE MET AS
ORIGINALLY FORMED.
3. THE LANDSCAPE PLAN MUST BE IMPLEMENTED AS
PREVIOUSLY SUBMITTED.
4 . ALL GRASS AND LAWNS MUST BE CUT AND KEPT
FREE OF WEEDS.
5. ANY BLACKTOP MUST BE PATCHED AND SEALED.
ITEMS 4, 5, AND 14 OF THE ORIGINAL LIST
OF CONTINGENCIES BE ELIMINATED.
AMENDMENT TO ITEM 3 OF THE MOTION, THE
LANDSCAPE PLAN OR AN ALTERNATIVE PLAN
MUST BE RESUBMITTED AND APPROVED BY
STAFF, IF NOT ACCEPTABLE BY STAFF,
RETURNED TO PLANNING COMMISSION.
JUSTIFICATION BEING THE GRADING WAS
CHANGED, 5 YEARS HAVE PASSED SINCE
COMPLETION OF BUILDINGS, AND WOULD NOT BE
DETRIMENTAL TO THE HEALTH AND WELFARE OF
THE COMMUNITY. THIS MOTION TO BE SENT TO
THE CITY COUNCIL.
THE MOTION CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY.

RECOMMENDATION:
ACTION REQUIRED:
The Council is be~ng asked to ratify a
development that l.S for most purposes
complete. The priorview PUD approval process
will be difficult because the Council is being
asked to approve a completed development where
the developer has seriously compromised
quality. The Council corrective options are
limited to primarily visual and aesthetic
im~rovements under these circumstances. At/or
prl.or to occupancy of the units, the
landscaping was in place and looked appealing.
But the townhouse management over the past
five years has allowed the landscaping and
overall maintenance to deteriorate. This past
week Mr. Knoblauch has made an effort to
sl?ruce up the development. Staff has made
fl.ve recommendations for preliminary PUD
approval which are part of the attached
planning report.

Approve the application as recommended by
the Planning Commission.
Deny the application for specific
reasons.

PLANNING REPORT
APPLICANT: J.W. KNOBLAUCH
ITEM: PRIORWOOD PUD PHASE 3A PRELIMINARY
AMENDMENT
PRESENTER: HORST GRASER, DIRECTOR OF PLANNING
PUBLIC HEARING: X YES NO
DATE:
PLAT
REQUESTED ACTION:
Staff has received a letter from J.W. Knoblauch (attached), to
amend the preliminary ~lat for the priorwood Townhouses (also
known as Phase 3A). Specl.fically the a~plicant wants to delete
items 4, 5, and 14 from the conditl.onal approval. The three
items refer to the construction of sidewalks. Perhaps the
application is not technically accurate because the amendments
referenced in the letter are part of the preliminary PUD.
PROCEDURE:
The applicant has filed under Zoning Ordinance section
6.1l.7f(b). This section requires that any changes in the use
or arrangement of open space must be approved by the City
Council. The approval process follows the amendment process for
the Zoning Ordinance which is Section 7.9.
The Council granted preliminary PUD approval on April 1, 1985,
with 19 conditions of which all but 3 have been met. However,
the final plat had to be submitted for approval within one year
with extensions of the preliminary PUD or the ~reliminary plat
shall be considered abandoned. The attached petl.tion is being
considered as a resubmittal of the preliminary PUD. Therefore
all elements of the preliminary PUD are open for discussion
within reason. It must be kept in mind that this platting effort
comes several years after the units have been completed and
occupied. Therefore issues such as orientation, utilities,
access, landscaping, and architecture have been made previously
by the applicant or jointly with the City and are virtually
impossible to correct. On the other hand, minor improvements
that would improve the residential environment and overall
aesthetic qualities are open for discussion.
BACKGROUND/HISTORY:
The active history of this PUD is attached for your
consideration. It was given outline development approval in 1982
for a phased development. The townhouse project was the second
4629 Dakota St. S.E., Prior Lake, Minnesota 55372 I Ph. (612) 447-4230 I Fax (612) 447-4245
~hase of the PUD. The outline development plan called for 20
1ndividually owned units in a landscaped setting with covenants
and deed restrictions.
The preliminary plat for this phase was ap~roved by the Planning
Commission on March 21, 1985, and Aprl.l 1, 1985, by the City
Council. Construction began shortly thereafter for 9 units.
What followed was a myriad of extensions, excuses, and false
promises, by the developer Mr. Tom Steffens, that has not ended
today. The project made many promises to the neighborhood,
school district, and the City, in the form of site and
archetectural design. For that, Prior Lake gave the developer 23
units as a density bonus. Today Phase 3A is far from deserving a
density bonus. It is currently unkempt rental housing. The
earlier approved and planted landscaping is either dead, pulled
out, not maintained, or was never planted. The grass and weeds
are not cut. The blacktop has holes, patches, and bird baths.
The individual unit entryways once landscaped, have the
appearance of a forlorn backyard.
DISCUSSION:
Perhaps there are a lot of reasons why this development has not
been successful in the eyes of this writer. Each small deviation
or extension seemed innocent enough. But the cumulative result
is a rapidly deteriorating townhouse development with no end in
sight. On the other hand, had the development received final
plat 5 years ago, it might look significantly more pleasing.
The ori9inal developer, Mr. Steffens, has lost the development
and it 1S now in the hands of Mr. Knoblauch. The issue is, how
can the development be improved through the requirements of the
PUD after it has already been developed and obtain final plat
approval without substantial financial burden on the current
owner.
RECOMMENDATION:
Recommend preliminary
following:
1. The name of the plat be changed to priorview 2nd
Addition.
2. Conditions of the City Engineer.
3. The landscape plan must be implemented as previously
submitted.
4. All grass must be cut and kept free of weeds.
5. Any blacktop must be patched as needed.

Contingent
on
the
The sidewalks as required in items 4, 5, and 6 should be deleted
from this project. Because the grade was changed for units
10-20, thereby making elevated wood patios practl.cal. The wood
patios that were constructed outside the rear entry serve as
private open space for residents. The sidewalks which were to
provide pedestrians access for visitors do not appear necessary.
An on-site inspection revealed that foot traffic patterns around
the side and rear of the units 10-20 were not apparent.

Date: July 2, 1990
Subject: priorview Townhome Plats, City Council Minutes 4/1/1985
Please consider this letter as a petition to amend the
preliminary plat to delete from the list of 19 contingents,
numbers 4, 5 and 14, which refer to sidewalks,
Patios, steps and back entries were substituted for sidewalks on
each of the units. It was felt that sidewalks behind and between
the buildings would detract from the privacy of each individual
unit. These changes as built have been well accepted by the
renters and provide each unit with individual backyard
accessibility.
Your consideration of this request is appreciated.

Hopkins, MN 55343
Dear Mr. Knoblach,
This letter is in response to our phone conversation held on
Thursday, June 14, 1990. You had requested an update on the
review process for the final plat of priorwood Townhomes. A copy
of the plat has been distributed to the Finance, Engineering and
Planning Departments for review. I have reviewed the priorview
PUD files and have conducted a preliminary review of the final
plat. Be advised that Director of Planning, Horst Graser will
conduct the formal review of the final plat and may require
information in addition to the data included in this letter. In
addition, the Finance and Engineering Departments have not
completed their reviews and may also require additional
information, prior to initiating the final plat public hearings.
I (P906 W (flwJ l~
On December 16, 1988 Horst Graser submitted a letter to Tom
Steffens outlining four contingencies related to the preliminary
plat application which have yet to be satisfied. The city
council granted preliminary plat approval on April 1, 1985
subject to nineteen conditions. The preliminary plat of
priorwood Townhomes is not approved until all nineteen conditions
are satisfied. Specifically two additional access walks must be
constructed adjacent to units 10 and 20; one diagonal walk from
the stairs between units 15 and 16 to the entrance walk for unit
16 must be constructed and a sidewalk must be constructed between
units 4 and 5. In addition, a site inspection conducted on
Friday, June 15, 1990 indicated that several trees and shrubs
indicated on the planting plan for the PUD have died. It is my
opinion that these plants be replaced as ~er the preliminary plat
planting plan in order to be compliant wl.th the condition of the
plat.
The final plat cannot be approved unless it is substantially
compliant with the preliminary plat and all conditions satisfied.
An alternative that is available, if you cannot meet the
conditions, is to petition the Cit~ Council to amend the
preliminary plat to delete the condl.tions. This option would
require that public hearings be conducted and that all persons
ownin9 property within 500 feet of the plat boundaries be
notifl.ed of the hearing. The amendment public hearing would be
heard by the Planning Commission and City Council, who would
4629 Dakota St. S.E., Prior Lake, Minnesota 55372 I Ph. (612) 447-4230 I Fax (612) 447-4245
render a decision based upon the testimony and hearinq process.
If the conditions are removed, it would be possible to continue
with the final plat phase of the development.
The final plat drawing which was submitted for review should be
amended to change the name of the plat from priorwood Townhomes
to priorview Second Addition. The City Attorney will also
require a title opinion as per subdivision ordinance, in order to
identify all owners of any interest in the land being subdivided
and holders of any liens or mortgages on the land. In addition,
a reduction of the plat to scale which equals 1"- 800", 1" - 200'
and one plat at no scale 81/2" x 11" will be required in addition
to one copy of the plat with all signatures.
The Engineerin9 and Finance De~artments have been requested to
review the fl.nal plat subml.ttal and submit comments to the
Planning Department by July 6, 1990. At that time the results of
the formal staff review will be made available to you. If you
have questions concerning the review process, please contact
Horst Graser at 447-4230.

Dear Mr. stettens,
Be advised that the final plat of priorwood Townhouses will not
be placed on the Council agenda until all contingency items
relating to the preliminary plat have been met. I have attached
a copy of the April 1, 1985, City Council minutes, and my
memorandum to the City Council dated March 15, 1985. The
contingency items referenced in the Council motion are found on
page two and three of my memo.
In reviewing the contingencies I find that you have not satisfied
items 4, 5, and 14, on page five of my memo. Please advice as to
how ~ou will address them. I believe you have two alternatives;
one lS to do the necessary improvements and two is to request the
City Council to amend their motion deleting items 4, 5, and 14,
as contingency requirements for preliminary plat approval.
The City Council meets the first and third Monday of each month.
All materials and submittals for Council review must be received
at least 10 days prior to the Council meeting. Submission for
final plat must include a complete set of mylar copies with all
appropriate signatures. In addition, a reduction of the plat to
scale which equals 1" - 800', 1" - 200 " and one at no scale to
8 1/2" X 11" paper size.

HORSI' GRASER
PRIORV!El'l PRELIMINARY P.U.D. 2ID PHASE (Phase 3A)
MARC! 15, 1985
RIDUFSrED AcrIOO:
The developer is requesting Preliminary P.U.D. approval for the 2nd phase of
construction for Priorview P.U.D. The preliminary phase of review requires a
detailed analysis of the site, improvements and utilities. The schematic plan
was approved on 12/6/82 which established a general site deve10pnent program.
This preliminary plan is to be in substantial caapliance with the schematic
plan.
SITE RE.VIEl'l:
This proposal is the second phase of developnent consisting of 20 units. The
1st phase consisting of 48 units located directly to the south is nearing
completion. The 2nd phase will require the northerly extension of Five Hawks
Avenue and easterly extension of Priorwood Drive. Priorwood Drive must be
changed to Priorwood Street to conform to the City's uniform street naming
system. City utilities will also require extension.
Several years ago the low area on the subject site was filled primarily between
Five Hawks and units 1-9. Without substantial filling the site would be
severely restricted for residential construction. On the other hand the hill in
the southeast corner of the site is being severely cut down for units 16-20.
The final grading plan indicates the entire site with a snall exception in the
southeast corner will be disturbed. As a result erosion control must be part of
the construction plan. The plan indicates two rows of hay bales for silt
screen. Staff will require two additional rows of hay bales east and south of
Five Hawks Avenue and Priorwood Drive shortly after the streets are completed to
prevent erosion onto the streets and into the stODm sewers. In addition all
graded areas must be sodded as soon as practical.
(612) 447-4230 4629 DAKOTA STREET S.E, P,O, BOX 359 PRIOR LAKE, MINNESOTA 55372
The housing type in this awlication is townhanes versus condaninilJl\S specified
in the concept plan. units 1-9 will be split entry walkouts with a single
attached garage. Units 10-20 will have tuck under garages with two floors of
living space above the garage. The main entrance for these Wlits will be fran
the rear. However, the only access to the sidewalk at the rear of the units is
between units 15 and 16. 'lWo additional access sidewalks must be constructed
adjacent to unit 20 and 10. In addition it is suggested that a diagonal walk be
constructed fran the front entrance walk for unit 16 to the top of the stairs
between units 15 and 16.
units 1-9 a~r to have access provided through the courtyards except there is
no concrete walk indicated. It is recarmended that "u" shaped walks be
constructed in the courtyards that will pick up pedestrians in front of the row
of cars headed into the townhouse units. '!here should also be a sidewalk
between units 4 and 5 for convenience of visitors who are unable to park in
front.
As part of the 2nd phase construction plans, the awlicant is platting the
remainder of the P.U.D. in Outlots A and B. However, Outlot B contains a
portion of Holly Court which is not a part of this P.U.D. and therefore cannot
be platted as a part of it.
Il\NDSCAPIOO :
It is recarmended that as much of the existing tree cover in the southeast
corner of the site should remain. It seens the individual doing this plan is
not familiar with the existing overstory. The Sugar Maple and Marshal Ash could
then be moved to open portions of the site. As a general rule the deciduous
trees should be clustered either southwest or southeast of the structures to
help naturally air condition the new buildings. All shade trees must be 21/2"
caliper or better.
'!he foundation planting include 24 taxus or ye,i pots. '!he plan should be
reviewed to make sure that they will be protected from south and western
exposure due to their susceptibility to sun and wind burn. The foundation
plantings are spread too thin around the structures. The foundation plantings
must be doubled. The courtyards must be defined and more plant material
introduced.
t1.I'ILITIES :
'!he City Engineer has reviewed the utility plans and recanmends preliminary
approval subject to the following provision:
1. Specifications for sewer, water, street improvements.
2. The fire hydrant located on Priorwood Drive must be moved
about 20 feet to the east.
3. Drainage calculations must be submitted for the construction
site.
4. The storm sewer in Five Hawks Avenue must be located deeper
to prevent freezing.
~oo:
In general the developer has oanplied with the City's requirsnents arK! requests
and adjusted the plans prior to subnittal for this hearing. The majority of the
items are minor and should not hold up preliminary awroval. staff reccmnends

A Developers Agreement was entered into for the construction of
utilities and Five Hawks Avenue from Highway 13 to the northern
terminus of the 1st Addition.
Shortly after the final plat, Tom Steffens dedicated the entire
right-of-way within the PUD to construct Five Hawks Avenue to the
northern terminus of the PUD. This was a requirement of the
School District. I believe they also required the complete
construction of Five Hawks Avenue in a given time frame. Prior
Lake never made this a contingency item in any approvals.
After the final plat approval, Prior Lake issued building permit
numbers 261 and 327 to construct two 12 unit buildings on Lots 1
and 2, Block 1, respectively. Date of issuance was 9-19-83 for
Lot 1 and 11-29-83 for Lot 2.
In the fall of 1984, staff received a petition to split Lot 3
into two equal halves and construct two 12 unit buildings instead
of one 24 unit building. The split was approved on 11-13-84.
For file reference see priorview 1st lot split: Lot 3, Block 1.
Building permit number 556 was issued on 9-23-84 for the entire
Lot 3 to construct a 12 unit building. After the split was
approved, building permit number 616 was issued on 11-14-84 to
construct a second 12 unit building.

Prl.orvl.ew
This phase of development consists of 20 townhouse units and is
referred to as phase 3A. It is actually the second phase of
construction as defined by the PUD.
This development phase received Planning Commission approval for
preliminary ~lat on 3-21-85 and from the City Council on 4-1-85.
Council's fl.nal approval was contingent on the same nineteen
points outlines earlier by the Planning Commission and me. All of
these points have not been met, therefore, preliminary plat
approval has not been obtained. A Developers Agreement was
entered into by Tom Steffens and the City for the construction of
roads and utilities.
The first building permit for four units was taken out on 7-4-85
and the second one for five units on 10-30-85. Mr. Steffens
wanted to plat this phase, however, I believe he ran out of money
to obtain the required releases. He wanted to put the
foundations in for the first nine units and then plat. Mr.
Steffens was aware of our policy to issue permits and plat later
in townhome developments.
Shortly after the first nine units were completed, Mr. Steffens
approached the City Council on 11-12-85 and wanted occupancy
permits. The primary issue the Council envisioned was street
improvement. The City Council denied occupancy permits until the
streets were in place. Nothing was said about final plat
requirements. On 12-2-85 I informed the City Council that the
street work was completed and occupancy permits would shortly be
issued.
The building activity for this phase was as follows:

other reasons which complicated the final plat issue
City Council granting occupancy before final plat.
The street right-of-way was dedicated via easement
rather than through the platting process.
All internal roadways are private.
The units were to be rented and deeds for individual
units were not an issue.
Mr. Steffens acknowledged the platting requirement and
he knew that a final plat was required before continuing
to the next phase of the PUD.
Perhaps he had trouble getting release from the Simpkins

who are fee owners of the property.
7. Staff has followed the procedure of issuing permits and
then platting townhomes numerous times without incident.
Perhaps Mr. Steffens was given too much latitude? All
the buildin9 permits were issued in a four month period
but completl.on of the last units were not until 1988.
priorview PUD Rezoninq, Comprehensive Plan, and Development
Plan Amendment (File reference -"priorview PUD 82-12 Amendment")
Mr. Steffens aPl?lied for a ma~or amendment to the PUD. It
involved changl.ng the zoning dl.strict of the PUD from R-2 to R-3
in order that the density of remaining vacant land be increased.
It also involved the addition of Lots 1-5, Block 2, Holly Court,
which was bought from the Schweichs. The addition of the Holly
Court land and increased density called for a revised development
plan. There was considerable opposition by the public which
resulted in the denial of the proposal by the Planning Commission
on 3-19-87. Mr. Steffens never took this proposal to the
Council.

NOTICE OF PUBLIC HEARING TO
CONSIDER AN AMENDMENT TO PRIORVIEW PUD
You are hereby notified that the Planning Commission will hold a
Public Hearing in the Prior Lake City Council Chambers at 4629
Dakota Street S.E., on Thursday, August 2, 1990 at 8:30 p.m.
The purpose of the hearing is to consider an amendment proposed
by developer, Joe Knoblach, to the second phase of Priorview PUD
known as priorwood Townhomes Phase 3A. The developer received
preliminary plat approval on April 1, 1985 subject to nineteen
conditions. All but four conditions have been satisfied however,
the developer is requesting the Cit~ to amend the ~reliminary
plat to waive the four outstanding condl.tions. Specifl.cally, the
conditions are: Two additional access walks must be constructed
adjacent to units 10 and 20; one diagonal walk from the stairs
between units 15 and 16 to the entrance walk for unit 16 must be
constructed; a sidewalk must be constructed between units 4 and 5
and several trees and shrubs indicated on the planting plan for
the PUD have died and must be replaced. The developer is
requesting that the four conditions be removed by the City
Council as conditions of approval for the preliminary plat. It
is the request of Mr. Knoblach that the sidewalks required as
part of the plat be substituted with patios, steps and back
entries.
The subject site contains approximately 3 acres and is located
approximately one quarter mile northeast of the intersection of
Five Hawks Avenue and S.T.H. 13. The property is legally
described as follows:
