HORST W. GRASER, DIRECTOR OF PLANNING
SIENNA CORPORATION APPLICATION FOR REZONING,
PRELIMINARY PLAT, SCHEMATIC AND PRELIMINARY
PUD FOR CARDINAL RIDGE
JUNE 7, 1993
Sienna Corporation has petitioned the city of
Prior Lake for a residential PUD consisting of
223 single family lots. In conjunction with
the PUD, the developer has requested
preliminary plat approval and downzoning for a
portion of the site from R-4 to R-1 and
u~zoning from C-1 to R-1 making the entire
slte R-1 single family residential.
The subject site has been the focus of several
subdivision attempts over the past ten years.
This proposal, with a gross density of 1.57
units per acre is by far the most sensitive to
the environment. The developer has had the
opportunity to work with Staff several months
prior to submission resulting in a number of
design changes. The planning report dated May
6, 1993, is attached for your review. Staff
comments are as follows:
REZONING- The rezoning is consistent with the
comprehensive plan.
PUD -The developer has incorporated all Staff
design elements into the PUD. Staff has
no objections to the 50 lots that have a
front width between 70 and 80 feet and a
5 foot sideyard setback for all lots on
the garage side only and taking all
required front yard trees and clustering
them in strateglc locations in the PUD
subject to approval of Staff.
PRELIMINARY PLAT- All engineering detail and
plans be subject to the approval of the
City Engineer; Additional screening and
berming for lots 4-6, Block 15; and
street lights be placed at shorter
intervals especially in long blocks, at
intersections, at park and trail
entrances, and where ever else
appropriate.

was in attendance. A sign-up sheet was circulated.
Rick Packer representative for Sienna Corporation 4940 Viking
Drive, Edina, MN, stated the name of the development had been
changed to Cardinal Ridge. A slide presentation of the various
projects developed by Slenna Corporation was shown. Homes built
with a five foot 9arage side setback were shown as well as the
landscaping and archltectural control that is part of sienna's
standards. Mr. Packer explained the rational of using a five
foot setback enables varying designs and allows more visible
green space in one location between houses. Mr. Packer is
requesting a P.U.D. for their development and a transfer of 5
lots for 55 acres of open space.
Director of Planning Horst Graser gave an brief outline on the
modifications for Cardinal Ridge. Cul-de-sac L was extended into
Outlot C, gaining two lots. The objective was to eliminate an
eyebrow style cul-de-sac. Cul-de-Sac G was added using a small
portion of Outlot D. The open space southeast of the
intersection of Sections E & F is being platted as a lot. A 60
foot exposure to Outlot C is incorporated between Lots 11 and 12,
Block 8, to accommodate a city trail. The total number of lots
increased from 221 to 223. The lots per gross acre increased
from 1.55 units to 1.57 units. The public open space decreased
from 55.49 to 52.81 acres.
Questions that were raised by the public were addressed as per
memo of May 20, 1993. County Road 44 is in the jurisdiction of
Scott County and is in the CIP for 1994. Fish Point Road was
designed as a collector and State money used for this project.
The issue remaining is the five foot garage setback.
The objective of a P.U.D. is to provide the opportunity for a
developer to change densities, move things around, provide
wildlife systems in the area and vary designs. The reduction in
lots sizes is realistic and can be substantiated. The lots that
are requested to be reduced is in the center of the development
and there is 38% open space. The development meets the intent of
the P.U.D. code and fits the topography of the area. The
development addresses the needs of transportation, parks, and
trail systems. All Outlots will be owned by the City and will be
open space.
City Engineer Larry Anderson, stated that the streets, sewer, and
water are adequate for the area. County 44 will have a signal
when warrants are met. The Engineering Department has reviewed
the plans submitted by Sienna and all plans have been completed
for Preliminary Plat. Prior to final plat approval appropriate
easements for drainage, trunk line utilities and acceptable
grading, sewer & water, and paving plans will need to be
submitted.
Carl Hanson 4065 Raspberry Ridge Road, objected to the size of
the lots, density and the development is unattractive.

Terri Pherson-15538 Fish Point Road, felt the concerns of the
existing neighborhood were not met, traffic issues were not
addressed and their neighborhood would be destroyed because of
the development.
Alma Picha-5940 160th st. SE, asked for clarification on where
sewer and water will be installed which was explained to her.
Commissioner Greenfield stated he was disappointed that something
could not be done with the traffic situation, number of children
would increase the capacity for schools, open space, number of
lots increased and was not in favor of the 5 foot reduction for
garage. At this point Mr. Greenfield displayed a tape measure
and measured out 5 feet to show the amount of setback that would
be reduced. He felt the development does not warrant P.U.D.
status and will not recognize it as such. He then read the
P.U.D. definitions from the ordinance. Mr. Greenfield read the
park memo from Parks Director Bill Mangan regarding designated
park space. Commissioner Loftus commented on the traffic safety
issues and preservation of natural amenities. Mr. Loftus also
commented on having quality builders and affordable housing which
would be a trade off in density. commissioner Roseth asked the
procedure on tree preservation and removal, and was in favor of
the development. Commissioner Arnold suggested adjusting lot
lines to lessen the number of smaller lots and pointed out where
several lots could be changed, but was in favor of the P.U.D.
Mr. Packer stated that their plan is sensitive to the area and
is a compromised plan and will not be changed any further.
Larry Anderson informed the Commissioners that the open space
designated is what Staff requested and explained the drainage
system for the development and adjoining area.
Mr. Graser explained the conditions of a P.U.D. and when the
developer is asked to give up something the City has to give
credit in another area and it would be an exchange.
After Conferring with Commissioner Arnold on lot adjustments, Mr.
Packer stated he could see where some lines could be changed and
would direct his staff to do so.

INTRODUCTION:
The ~urpose of the public hearing is to consider three distinct
appllcations: Rezoning application, Planned Unit Development
(PUD) schematic and preliminary, and preliminarr plat
consideration for Cardinal Heights PUD. The three appl cations
are bein9 considered contem~oraneously because of the
interrelat10nship of the rezon1ng to the development proposal.
However, it is necessary to distinguish between the applications
in the review process since the SUbdivision, PUD approval, and
rezoning are separate issues. A separate motion in the form of a
recommendation to the citr Council, will be required. Each motion
should be supported br flndings of fact and performance criteria
relevant to the speciflc application.
The attached agenda packet contains the applications for
rezoning, subdivision, and Planned Unit Development along with a
written proposal pre~ared by the developer, supporting maps and
data. The applicat10ns are followed by memorandums from City
staff and other affected agencies received as of April 30, 1993.
Finally, the public hearing notices and maps published in the
Prior Lake American and mailed to approximately 90 residents,
business owners, utility companies, and affected agencies.
REVIEW PROCESS:
The Preliminary Plat of Cardinal Heights PUD is being processed
as a Planned Unit Development with the procedures and
requirements outlined in Section 6.11 of Zoning Ordinance 83-06
and section 6-3-2 of Subdivision Ordinance 87-10. The provisions
of this section of the zoning ordinance are intended to provide
residential areas which can be developed with some modifications
of the strict application of the regulations of the R-l, R-2,
R-3, and R-4 districts.
The official application date for Cardinal Heights was March 28,
1993. section 6-3-3-B of the City Subdivision Ordinance requires
the City Council to either approve or disapprove the Preliminary

<<
Plat within 120 dais of this application date. Thus, the latest
possible City Counci meeting date to consider the Preliminary
Plat is July 19, 1993. The City Council may continue the
Preliminary Plat decision only if it receives an agreement for an
extension from the developer. There is also a Rezoning
application on file as of March 28, 1993. The Planning Commission
is required under Section 7-9-D of the Zoning ordinance to
forward a recommendation to the City Council within 60 days. This
requires the Planning Commission to take action on the
application by the May 20, 1993 meeting. In addition, the City
Council must act on the Planning Commission's recommendation
within 60 days after receiving it. To amend the Zoning Ordinance
the application must also be ap~roved by a two-thirds (4-1) vote
under section 7-9 of the Zonlng Ordinance. Cardinal Heights is
proposing to develop this project under the PUD format as well.
This requires an additional timeframe for review. Under Section
6-11-B-4 of the Zoning Ordinance, within 60 days after the filing
of the schematic plan, the Planning Commission shall forward the
plan to the city Council with its recommendation. This requires
action on the schematic plan by the May 20, 1993 Planning
Commission meeting. The City Council shall act on this plan
within 45 days after receipt of the Planning Commission's
recommendation. The City Council may continue the review process
for additional study u~ to 90 days after initial receipt of the
plan from the Plannlng Commission, but is required to obtain a
written extension from the developer if more time is required.
The subject site consists of approximately 147 acres bounded on
the north by C.R. 44 on the east by the Credit River
Township/Prior Lake City Limit line, on the south by Markley Lake
and the open land of three various property owners, and on the
west by the plat of Brooksville Hills Fourth Addition, st.
Michael's Cemetery, and a public utility area.
site Topoqraphy and Drainaqe:
The site slopes generally to the south and southeast and has
several low, landlocked drainage basins within it. The low areas,
because of their location and elevation, are the recipients of
significant off-site drainage. A low area directly south of
County Road 44 receives storm water runoff from the high school
and other areas north of the property. In addition, a low area in
the west portion of the site receives surface water runoff from
the developed residential area to the west.
There are two localized areas of 15 to 30 percent slopes in the
south portions of the property, which are also the location of an
existing stand of mature trees adjacent to Markle~ Lake. Markley
Lake, in the southeast corner of the property, 1S the site's
lowest elevation at 892 feet. The elevations vary across the
property from a high of 972 feet to the low point of 892 feet.
There are several stands of trees located on the subject
property. The largest grouping of vegetation occurs on the south
10 percent of the site, is associated with several areas of steep
,.
slopes1 and extends down to Markley Lake. The size of the trees
in th s stand ranges from 1-8" caliper with a few 10-12"
cottonwoods present. The quality of these trees appears to be
poor with many trees dying at the 4-5" caliper size. There is an
excellent quality stand of trees on the south slope to Markley
Lake. This sectIon is very healthy with sizes ranging from 4-12"
caliper trees. There are also a few scattered trees found
adjacent to County Road 44 near the northeast corner of the
property. The remaining stands of trees on the site are
associated with existing wetlands and consist of cottonwoods,
elm, and boxelder. The remainder of the site has been farmed or
used as pasture in the past and presently is fallow ground.
Development Pro~osal:
sienna Corporatlon is requesting PUD approval for 221 single
family lots on 147 acres, a density of 1.5 units per acre. The
single family lots are clustered over the site resulting in the
creation of four large outlots. These outlots have a variety of
functions includin?; storm water ponding, protection of steep
slopes and vegetatlon, open space, and recreation, including
public access to Markley Lake. A major collector street, Fish
point Road, will bisect the site from the north to the
southwest.
The PUD section of the Zoning Ordinance allows the developer to
varr lot size, street size, and setback requirements as design
optlons to reflect market conditions. These design options are
important in developing a subdivision that has a positive
identity and that preserves and utilizes the natural
characteristics of the site to establish sense of community,
pride, and place. The minimum square footage for all lots in
Cardinal Heights is 10,000 sq. ft. wlth an average square
footage of 13,725 sq. ft. Lot widths average 86 feet, with 50
lots (23% of the total) located in the northeast portion of the
site ranging from 70-80 feet wide at the building setback line.
Lots located on the west side of the proposed Fish Point Road are
80 foot or greater in width to compliment the existing housing to
the west. The remaining lots to the east of Fish Point Road in
the south half of the site, adjacent to Markley Lake, are 80 feet
or greater at the building setback line. The Zoning Ordinance
requires 80 foot minimum lot widths and Cardinal Heights is using
the PUD format to vary from this requirement. The other
requirement that is being varied is the side yard setback
distance of ten (10) feet. While the houses will meet the
setback, the proposal is for a five (5) foot setback requirement
for the garage side of the proposed lots. In keeping with the
spirit of the PUD section of the Zoning Ordinance, the developer
is offering certain amenities, controls, and increases from
minimum standards in other areas to enhance the subdivision.
The developer is proposing that all neighborhood streets
cul-de-sacs maintain a 50 foot right-of-way except
Crossandra street, west of Fish Point Road. The 50
right-oi-way will help maintain a neighborhood character to
and
for
foot
the
,
housing areas. To encourage this neighborhood character, the
site plan promotes a series of small loop streets, decreasing
the amount of traffic directed to one particular area. To
compliment the 50 foot right-of-way, the developer proposes to
increase the standard 25 foot front yard 'house setback to 30
feet.
Additionally, the development proposes cul-de-sacs with a larger
diameter than the minimum to allow for greater snow storage and
the capability of on-street parking. The developer also proposes
to install common architecturally designed mailbox standards
which will help maintain uniformity and produce a neat, clean
street image.
The city currently requires two trees per lot to be planted, one
as a street tree and the other in the front yard of each lot. The
developer proposes to deviate from this standard by maintaining
the street tree requirement, but rather than plant another tree
in the front yard, plant the same number of trees throughout the
subdivision in appropriate locations. These locations would be at
corners, curves, side yards, park entrances and other visually
important locations. .
To further enhance and protect the value of the homes and the
neighborhood, protective covenants will be filed with the final
plat. Two car garages will be mandatory and no outside storage of
trailers, RV's, snowmobiles, boats or any other type of
recreational equipment will be allowed.
The developer has devised a schedule for development which would
allow for road and utility construction to be completed by the
winter of 1993. The pro~osal has been broken down into four
development phases WhlCh are projected to take 4-6 years to
complete. Ownership of the outlots for Cardinal Heights will be
under the ownership of the City of Prior Lake. There are no plans
for a homeowners association for Cardinal Heights.
Assessments:
See memo from Ralph Teschner dated April 26, 1993 for details.
There are no outstanding special assessments currently certified
against the property and the tax status of the property is
current with no outstanding delinquencies. In addition, the
development site has received no prior assessments for City
municipal utilities. The subdivision is subject to a stormwater
Management Fee (16.8 cents/sq. ft.), a Collector street Fee
($700.00jacre), and a Trunk Sewer and Water Fee ($2,750.00/acre).
Total city fees required for the development of the subdivision
amount to $749,889.02 which will be collected upon entering into
a developer's agreement for the construction of utility
improvements at the time of each phase of the planned unit
development.
Comprehensive Plan:
The proposed development site is currently zoned R-l, R-4, and
C-1 over various parts of the property, while the Comprehensive
Plan Land Use Map shows low-density residential planned for the
site. The request for rezoning to R-I would make the property
consistent with the Comprehensive Plan. The Environmental
section of the Comprehensive Plan protects natural features from
adverse impacts of development. Intensive development is
restricted adjacent to areas identified as natural resource
areas such as steep slopes, dense woodlands, and wetland areas.
Cardinal Heights is consistent in this area by platting lots
around natural features and preserving sensitive areas with a
series of outlots. These outlots are proposed to become an
integral part of the park system for the neighborhood.
The Parks and Open Space Section of the Comprehensive Plan has
two major objectives. First, to identif~ vital natural resources
and make them available to all resIdents. Second, to have
corridors of o~en space so that access may be provided within
and through neIghborhoods. Cardinal Heights is consistent in
this area as well by preserving numerous areas of open space and
natural areas while making them accessible to all residents of
the development project. The main objective of the Housing
section of the Comprehensive Plan is to provide a variety of
opportunities to both ~resent and future residents of Prior
Lake. This is achieved ln Cardinal Heights by a variety of lot
sizes and home styles available to prospective residents.
Major engineering issues are addressed in the Utility Section of
the Comprehensive Plan. This parcel of land was projected for
future development and sewer and water are available to the
site. The Trans~ortation Section of the Comprehensive Plan has
some important lssues that this development addresses as well. A
major collector is planned to extend from C.R. 44 to C.R. 21.
The developer has addressed this issue with his proposal to
extend Fish Point Road with a 100 foot right-of-way from the
north end to the southwest end of the site. In addition, the
proposal does not request any additional access points onto C.R.
44 which is consistent with the Comprehensive Transportation
Plan.
Finally, this development will have a major impact on the
Markley Lake Nei9hborhood District. The existing population of
500 people will lncrease br approximately 550 people when it is
fully developed. An objectlve of the Neighborhood District Plan
is that natural areas need to be preserved and integrated into
the parks/o~en space system. Cardinal Hei9hts has reco9nized
this objectlve and the design is sensitlve to this Issue.
Markley Lake and the adjacent land is proposed to be deeded to
the City after the development is approved to become a part of
the City Park system. Overall, the Comprehensive Plan has
recognized the growth that will take place in this area and this
development is consistent with the long-range plan for this
neighborhood district.
.
Gradinq & utility Plan:
See memo from Bruce Loney dated April 30, 1993 for details.
Sanitary sewer, water service and storm water improvements will
be constructed by the developer with water and sanitary sewer
connections made to existing city facilities. Fish Point Road is
proposed to be constructed by the City of Prior Lake. All
remaining streets and improvements will be installed by the
developer. Electric, telephone, natural gas and cable TV will be
installed by the appropriate agencies.
Please refer to the attached letter from Maier stewart and
Associates, Inc. on their review of the Cardinal Heights PUD.
These comments are bein9 incorporated into the staff comments on
the proposal. In addltion, the City Engineering Department has
the following additional comments on the proposed development.
The city's consulting engineer is preparing a future well system
layout based on the proposed plat which will identify locations
for future wells in the development. Staff anticipates receiving
this report in time for presentation at the May 6, Planning
Commission meeting. The proposed cul-de-sacs within the
development need to meet the standard design as shown in the
attached detail. Fish Point Road is a designated Municipal Aid
Road and to use MSA Funds on this road( the developer must
address the ~roposed eyebrow cul-de-sac ln Block 11, with
~ossible deslgn changes. Traffic issues must be addressed
lncluding the impact of Fish Point Road on CR 44 and the impact
of Fish Point Road and CR 44 on STH 13. Crossandra street in
Brooksville Hills is currently 36' in width. Staff recommends
that this width stay constant up to Fish Point Road as this is
the only east/west connection to Franklin Trail other than CR 44.
other issues are addressed in greater detail in the letter from
Maier Stewart and Associates, Inc.
Park Dedication:
See memo from Bill Mangan dated April 28, 1993 for details. The
plat of Cardinal Hei9hts more than satisfies the park dedication
requirement in Subdivlsion Ordinance 87-10, Section 6-6-8. Over
one-third of the plat is proposed open space, while not all of
this land may be used for recreation purposes. There are six
outlots bein9 platted in Cardinal Heights along with an
extensive trall system as proposed by City Staff.
Each of the outlots will be described below. Outlot A has
severe topographical constraints in addition to being part of a
ponding easement and has little or no value as public open space
for park purposes. Outlot B will have a dual use in the proposed
development, as stormwater management and open park land. There
may be storm water retained on the site, but will generally be
used as open space. This area will be developed simultaneousl~ as
site improvements take place on the adjacent City well slte.
Outlot C is proposed to be utilized as a storm water management
area with limited open space. There will be some neighborhood
.
trails introduced into this area to connect to Outlot D to the
south and east. Outlot D is the most important open space parcel
in the development. Major sections of the trail system will be
implemented in this area linking Markley Lake to the rest of the
parcel. The Parks Department has proposed some design changes to
allow for 240 feet of street visibility to this Outlot as lt is
an important part of the community park system. This Outlot may
also include a parking area for about a dozen cars, picnic
shelter, and possibly equipment rental. Outlot E is proposed to
be used as a storm water management area due to severe topography
and a large ponding easement ln the area. Outlot F is a remnant
parcel wlth little or no value due to its wooded areas and steep
slopes. The developer has not addressed the use of this parcel in
the development proposal.
Cardinal Heights presents an opportunity to add to the city Trail
s~stem. Fish point Road is proposed to have an 8' trail and 5'
sldewalk as it is a collector street for the city. This
development has made the connection to Franklin Trail along
Crossandra street a more pressing issue. The developer has
proposed to extend a sidewalk along Crossandra street to Fish
point Road from the westerly property edge. The city Parks
Department feels that this sidewalk should be extended along
Crossandra street for the entire len9th of the street to
facilitate pedestrian circulation. In addltion, there should be a
series of trails through the various Outlots which generally run
from the northwest to the southeast area of the development.
This system is proposed to start in Outlot B, crossing Fish Point
Road and going around the storm water ponds in Outlot C, crossing
the east-west road east of the end of Crossandra street into
outlot D, then continuing to the waterfront of Markley Lake.
General Discussion:
The subject site is difficult to develop due to its abundant
relief, landlocked basins, and wetlands. The developer has done
a good job incorporating these desirable natural features into
the design of the plat. The majority of the lots are developed
on edges (backing up to open space) together with abundant relief
will produce a desirable living environment.
The overall density of the develo~ment is 1.55 units per gross
acre which is low even for Prlor Lake standards of 2.2 to 2.5
units per acre. The developer has requested a reduction in width
from 80 feet to 70 feet for lots in blocks 12, 13, and 15. This
appears to be a reasonable request due to the large amount of
open space in the development and the location of the smaller
lots (in width only) do not effect existing development. The
curvelinear road system incorporated in the development produces
a variety of lot sizes and housing opportunities. The smallest
lot in the development is 10,000 square feet and the largest is
27,900 square feet with an average of 13,726 square feet per
lot.
Perhaps the reduction in sideyard setback to 5 feet for the
.
garage only has the potential for impact. The Engineering
Department has suggested that 5 feet is not adequate to provide
proper drainage between the garage and the property line. The
developer should indicate how drainage can be accomplished
without adverse impacts to affected homeowners. In general, the
development is consistent with the comprehensive plan and
policies of Prior Lake.
Alternatives:
The Parks and Public Works Departments have suggested a number of
changes and additions that will affect the design of the
development. The Plannin9 Commission has the o~tion of approving
the development with contlngencies or continulng the hearings
until the issues are resolved. If the Commission's option is for
continuance, a detailed list of directions should be given to the
developer.

option by Sienna Corporatio~ 'the applicant.
Applic:1nt
Sienna Corporation has been an active residenn"al land developer in the Twin Cities
metropolitan area for the past 14 years. developing over 3.000 single"family lots along with
multi-family sites and industrial property. The company is presently involved in developing
subdivisions in Savage. Burnsville, Lakeville, Eagan., Eden Prairie, Woodbury and
Farmington.
Sienna Corporation is a land developer only and does not build homes. It conducts business
regularly with a group of approximately 35 builders. all of whom must meet certain criteria
before building in its subdivisions. Within each subdivision there are generally 4-8 builders,
depending on the size and market direction of the project
Site Characteristic!
The site slopes generally to the sou~ and southeast and has sev~ low, landlocked
drainage basins within it. The low areas, because of their location and elevation, are the
recipients of significant off-site drainage. A low area directly south of County Road 44
receives storm water run-off from the high school' and other areas north of the property, and
a low area in the west portioo of the site receives Surface water run-off from the developed
residential area to the west.

.
There arc two localized areas of 1 5 to 30 pel"Cent slopes In the south portions of 'the
property, which are also the location of an existing stand of mature trees adjacent to
Markley Lake. lv1arkley Lake, in the southeast comer of the property, is the site's lowest
elevation; the elevations vary acrosg the property from a high of 972 to t low of 892.
There are also a few scattered trees found tdjacent to County Road 44 near the northeast
ccmer of the property. The remainder of the site bas been farmed or used as pasture in the
past and presently is fallow ground.
The underlying soils fo~ this property are a well-drained sand and grave4 with a silty or
sandy loam cover. TheSe Soils have good bearing capacity for the proposed type of
development.
As previously mentioned, there are several stands of trees located on the subject property.
The site plan has been designed to protect these tree itreas as much as possible. The largest
grouping of vegetation occurs on the south 10% of the site, i3 associated with several areas
of 5teep slopes, and extends down to Markley Lake. This stand of trees is predominantly
made up of elm, cottonwood, box elder and poplar. The size of the trees in this stand
ranges from 1-8" predominant caliper with a few 10-12" cottonwoods present The quality
of these trees appears to be poor with many trees dying at the 4-5" caliper size. A possible
cause for the quality of this stand of vegetation is lack of soil nutrients and a low water
table. There are a few scattered small oak trees, 2-4" caliper) in this area which are good
candidates for relocation if they are in the way of a street or house pad.
There is an excellent quality stand of vegdation occurring on the extreme south portion of
the site where the grade drops abropdy towards Markley Lake. The trees that make up this
area are pred9minandy oaks with ash and birch scattered throughout. This section is very
healthy with sizes ranging from 4-12" caliper trees.
The remaining stands of trees on the site are assoCiated with existing wetlands and consist
of cottonwoods, elm and box elder.
T.ae vege:ation that will be required to be moved for the development is predominantly box
elder, elm and cortonwood species. Scattered small oak trees that are in the path of the
development will be transplanted on the site.
P.U.D. Considentions
Sienna Corporation is requesting P.U.D. awroval for 221 single family lots on 147 acres, a
density of 1,5 units per acre. The single family lots are clustered over the site resulting in
the cre3tion of four laIge outlots. These outlotS have a variety of functioIlS - those being
stonn water ponding, protection of steep slopes and vegetation, o~n space and recreation
(including public access to Markley Lake). A major' collector street, Fish Point Road, will
b~t the site from the north to the ~uthweSt. .

FlPR 21 '93 09112 SIOi'fl ~
P.4/13
The P.U.D. 9rdinance is intended to provide residendaI areas which can be deveIop~d with
some modifications of the strict application of regulations of the R-I, R-2, R-3, and R-4
Residential Districts. The provisions are to encourage:
1) Feasibility in residential land development.
2) Variety ,in the organization of site elements, building densities. and housing
types. .
3) Higher standards of site and building design through the use of trained and
experienced'prof~onWS.
4) Preservation and enhancement of desirable site characteristics and open space.
S) More efficient and effective use of land, open space and public facilities.
It is our opinion that the Cardinal Heights P.U.D. meets all of these provisions.
In developing the plan for Cardinal Heights, five specific factors guided the design process.
These factOrs are as fonows:
1) Three different zoning classifications exist on the property; R.I, R-4, & e-l.
2) Approximately 30 acres of the site have been designated for storm water
retention by the City's Storm Water Management Plan. (M:uch of this
retention is for adjacent up-land properties to the north and west).
3) Several areas of steep slopes and scattered Stands of vegetation in the
southern pOrtion of the site, along with Markley L~e encroaching on the
southeast Comer of the property.
4) The City's proposal to bisect the property by constructing a collector street
with 100' RO. W. (Fish Point Road) connecting the north and south property
line. This ~l1ector is proposed to have no direct access.
5) Six small designated wetlands scattered over the property.
By utilizing the P.U.D. process, Sienna is able to:
1) Protect the existing natural resources of the site (wetlands, vegetation. and
steep slopes).
2) Provide ample stOrm water storage not only for what the development
creates, but also for what comes from off. site.
3) Provide for 55 acres of open space which M.ll function as park and trail
areas, vegetation protectio~ and water rete."1tion.
4) Allow public access to Markley Lake.
5) Provide a variety of housing opportunities to the buying public.
6) Provide a viable project for the city of Prior Lake, Sienna CorporatioI4 and
Cardinal Heights' fuIure residents.
TIle P.U.D. ordinance also allows the developer to vary from certain lot size, street size and
setback requirements. These variances are important in developing a subdivision that has a
positive identity and that preserves and enhances the natural characteristics of the site. The
minimum square footage for all lots in Cardinal HeightS is 10,000 sq. ft. with ~ average
square footage being approximate!y 13,725 sq. ft. Lot widths average 86', with. SO lotS
located in the northeast portion of the site ranging from 70.80' wide at the building setback
line. Lots located on the west side of the proposed Fish Point Road are 80' or greater in
~ 21 '93 09113 SI~ ~

. .
width to compliment the existing housing to the west. The rem:J.ini"g lots to the east of Fish
Point Road in the south half of the site; adjacent to Markley Lake, are 80' plus wide at the
building setback line.
In keeping with the spirh of the P,U.D. Ordlnance, SietUla is offering cert3in amenitie$,
controls, and increases from minimum standards to enhan~ the subdivision.
Sienna is proposing that all neighborhood streets and cul-<Je.sacs maintain a SO' R.O. W,
except for Crossandra Street, west of Fish Point Road. The 50' RO. W, "Will help maintain a
neighborhood character to the housing areas. To encourage this neighborhood character, the
site plan promotes a series of small loop streets, decreasing the amount of traffic directed to
one particular area. To compliment the 50' R.O, W., Sienna propcses to increase the
standard 25' house setback to 30'" .
Additionally, the development proposes cul-de.sacs with a largeT diameter .than the
minimum to allow for greater snow storage and the capability of on-street parking. Sienna
also proposes to install commOn architecturally designed mailbox standards which will help
maintain uniformity and produce a neat, clean Street image.
The City currently requires two trees per lot to be ii1sta1Ied, one as a street tree and the
other in the front yard. Sienna proposes to deviate from this standard by maintaining the
street tree 'requirement, but rather than plant another tree in the front yard. plant the same
number of trees thIoughout the subdivision in appropriate locations. These locations would
be at corners, curves. side y~ park entrances and other visually important locations. A
landscape plan will be submitted for staff approval prior to final plat approvals.
To further enhance and protect the value of the homes and the neighborhood, protective
covenants will be filed with the final plat. These covenants will assure not only protection
during con.strUction, but for the life of the subdivision. Two car garages will be mandatory
and no outside storage of trailers, R. V,'s. snowmobiles, boats or any other type of
recreational equipment will be allowed.
Park requirementS will be met through the dedication of land. Sienna is proposing that
outlots A through F be dedicated to the City, in fee title, to be preserved as ope.'1 sp~ and
developed by the City for a variety of park uses. Sienna suggests the following uses would
be appropriate for the outlots in Cardinal Heights:
Outlot A: Small active use ~ tot lot with fencing adjac....""'Ilt to County Road 44.
storm water retention and open spaCe,
Outlot B: Open space, "storm water retention and larger area for active open field
recreation and trails.
Outlot C: Open space, trails, tot lot and stann water retention.
Outlot D: Open sp~, trails. access to Markley Lake, active play area.:
Outlot E: Open space. trails and storm water retention. ;
Outlot F: Trail, storm water retention and active play area for sliding.
.
APR 21 '93 09:14 sr~ CORP
P.6/13
The design of C3rdinal Heights allows for these outlots to be scattered throughout the Site
resulting in open space/park areas adjacent to clusters of single fumily homes. It will also
provide for a variety of recreational USes for residents of CardinaJ Heights and the adjacent
neighborhoods.

Development Schedule
Sienna Corporation would like to comple:e the rezoning, P.U.D., and' prelimiMry plat
process by June 1 Sl. This would allow adequate time to start construction and C{)mplete
utilities and roads prior to wimer.
Cardinal Heights will be developed in four phases spanning 4-6 years depending on market
conditions. Phase I will consist of 51 lots, Phase II . 60 lots, Phase ill - 41 lotS and Phase
IV - 69 lots.
Development Ownership
Ov.-nership of the final lots and outlOts for Cardinal Heights will be divided between two
entities. Obviously, all single family lots will be owned by the eventual home-buyers and
all outlots will be under the ownership of the City of Prior Lake. There will not be a
Homeowners Association for Cardinal Heights.

Sanitary sewer, water service and storm water improvements Will be constructed by the

improvements will be installed by Sienna Corporation. Electric, telephone, natural gas and
cable TV will be ~Ied by the appropriate entities.
Sammary
One of the original uses of the P.U.D. as a planning tool was to facilitate density transfers.
The concept was to cluster housing in the areas that can be more readily developed without
causing environmental.d~m~ge or signiiicant site alteration. We believe this proposal Is an
excellent example of bow density transfer can work. Sienna's proposal seeks only one
significant deviation from City Ordi.n.a.nces, this b~ing Jot width at the building setback line
on 50 (or 23%) of the lots. Generally speakin~ when using the P.U.D. approach, densiry
increases of 20% are COmmon in the areas whe..""e housing occurs; the proposal as presented
achieves a net density of 2.4 units per acre which is comparable to standard deve~opment
densities in an R~ 1 zoning district.
Considering the fact that 36 acres of the site are presently zoned R-4 and that 38% of the
site is rem~ioiT)g in open space, this deviation ~ems warranted.
In summary, it is Sienna Corporation's feeling tfuu the proposed project best meets the
constraints of the site, the environmental and planning concuns of the community, and the
eventual residential homeowners in Cardinal Height.!.

RE: CARDINAL HEIGIITS
Dear Mr. Anderson:
As requested, we have reviewed the information submitted for the Cardinal Heights PUD. The
information consisted of an existing conditions map, a preliminary plat, a prelimi.n3ry grading
and erosion control plan, and a prelimi.n3ry utility pIan. All of these documents were prepared
by James R. Hill, Inc., and had a revision date of March 15, 1993. Based on our review of this
information, we would offer the following comments:
A. PRELlMINARY PLAT
1. Cul-<ie-sacs within the plat should conform to the City's typical standard.
2. Thirty-five foot radius curves on the rights-of-way are required at the entrances
to all cu1-<ie-sacs.
3. Twenty-five foot radius curves on the rights-of-way are required at all block
comers.
4. Building setback lines are required to be shown on the preliminary plat.
5. Eyebrow cul-<!e-sacs are not permitted except under unique circumstances.
Blocks 6 and 11 both have proposed eyebrow cul-de-sacs.
6. Additional information will be required to verify the proposed location of Fish
Point Road at the south plat line with regard to its southerly extension.
7. Several blocks exceed the 1,000 foot recommended length. This oexurs because
of the existing wetlands and open areas throughout the plat. Pedestrian ways
should be required between the lots to allow for neighborhood access to these
areas, Example Block 10.

8. Lots 15 and 16 Block 2, Lof3 4, S, and 6 Block 12, Lets 1 and 2 Block 15 are
all double frontage lots. These lots are acxeptable because they back onto Fish
Point Road which is a collector street.
9. Numerous lots do not meet the required SO-foot frontage. To achieve this,
several lots would have to be eliminated.
10. Additional drainage and utility easements will be required for all proposed storm
sewer facilities down lot lines.
11. Additional information is required for the property to the east of the proposed plat
regarding street access. If this is proposed to be served through the northerly
portion of Outlot D, then street characteristics of Crossandra should change from
a local to a minor classification. This would require an additional 10 feet of
right-of-way. Also, the street and lot layout through Block 14 should be changed
to make the northerly portion of Crossandra Street the through street (minor).
The southerly portion of Crossandra Street could remain a local street. Also, this
portion of street should be constructed to the east plat line.
12. In the legend under -setback- the side yard garage and side yard street setback
distances are inconsistent with the zoning ordinance requirements. The zoning
ordinance requires a 10.00 setback for both the house and garage from the side
lot line and a 30.00 foot setback for the side yard street right-of-way. These
setbacks as shown should be changed to meet the zoning ordinance requirements.
B. GRADING PLAN
1. There are slopes of 20% and greater which are being disturbed, but overall the
majority of the steep slopes are not being disturbed and will be retained as public
open spacesloutlots.
2. There are several lots which have rear yards consisting of20% + slcpes from the
back of the pad to the rear property line. Example: Lots 2-7 Block 10 or Lots
1-10 Block 7.
3. Lot 2 Block 10 needs more contour information.
4. Lot 11 Block 9 should have a front pad elevation of 945.00 instead of 943.00.
5. The proposed drainage on Lot 8 Block 6 should be down the westerly property
line and not allowed to sheet across wt 9.
6. The proposed drainage on Lot 14 Block 15 should be down the lot line and not
across Lot 15.
003-2700~r
Mr. Urry Anderson
April 29, 1993
Page Three
7. Blocks 9, 12, and 13 all have proposed catch basins along the rear lot lines.
These areas could be graded to eliminate all proposed rear lot line stonn sewer.
This would change several pad designations from walkouts to standard.
If the proposed grading plan is not revised to eliminate the proposed storm sewer,
additional easements will be required along the storm sewer lines. Also, several
of the catch basin grades should be raised to lessen slopes to the back of the pads.
Example: Lot 28 Block 12 has a 9-foot grade difference from the rear of the pad
to the catch basin. Also, an emergency overflow should be designated and shown
with spot elevations down a lot line.
8. The proposed rear lot drainage on !At 1 Block 15 is minimal. As shown, a
portion of the lot will drain through the back yard of Lot 2 and not on the lot
line. This could be eliminated if the pad was designated to be a SEWO which
would raise the back of the pad by one foot. Drainage could then be directed to
the southwest comer of Lot 1 and not across Lot 2.
9. Lot 15 Block 2 is designated as a DW, but is shown to be graded as a SEWO.
Also, the rear lot drainage is minimal. Additional slope could be shown.
10. Spot elevations should be shown along the southwesterly lot line of Lot 6 Block
2 to direct the drainage down the lot line from the rear of the pad to the street.
The concern is that this drainage is not allowed to sheet across the rear lot line
of Lot S.
11. The catch basin at the most southerly corner of Lot 2 Block 2 could be eliminated
if the Developer was given an easement/permission from the adjacent property
owner of the exception in the northwest corner of the proposed plat to create an
area of approximately 70 feet x 30 feet at the southe3.St corner of the exception.
The pad designation for Lot 5 Block 2 would also bave to change from DW
instead of WOo
12. Additional drainage easements will be required through the re4I' yards of Lots 13
and 14 Block 6 to allow for surface drainage from Lot 12.
13. The existing pond located along the rear lot line of Lots 14 and 15 Block 6 has
no proposed outlet and the majority of the pond is proposed to be filled. How
is this pond going to impact the adjacent property and wbat is the high water
elevation?

c. SANITARY SEWER
1. The City requirement is for manhole spacing not exceeding 400 feet. All
manholes shown on the utility plan meet this requirement.
2. If Outlot D between Blocks 8 and 14 is for a future road extension to the east, is
there any need for sanitary sewer to be extended this way also? Sanitary sewer
in this location is relatively shallow at approximately 10 to 12 feet deep.
3. Four-inch services are required for all lots.
4. The invert elevation at the westerly most manhole on Street J has been omitted.
s. Twelve-inch sanitary sewer is being extended into the plat from the existing 12-
inch sanitary sewer lying on the west side of the development. The 12-inch
sanitary sewer is then extended along Crossandra Street to Fish Point Road, south
on Fish Point Road to Street "E", and then east to the intersection of Street "F".
It appears the use of 12-inch sanitary sewer is in an effort to minimhe grade thus
saving sewer depth. There will be some maintenance concerns with a large pipe
at a flat grade given the number of units flowing into it. However, the alternative
of a lift station certainly has a higher maintenance and operation cost.
The 12-inch sanitary sewer shown on Fish Point Road between Streets "E" and
"K" does not meet the minimum grade for a 12-inch line. The grades of this
sewer line need to be increased.
6. There are three manholes located within the plat from which sewer flows both
directions. These apparently were installed to eliminate the cost of a manhole at
termination points.
D. W A 'fE&yIAJN
1. Hydrants are only shown at the ends of all cul-de-sacs. Hydrant spacing
throughout the development needs to be provided and reviewed
2. City standards require watennain to be on the north or east sides of centerline.
However, a 6-inch watermain on Street "D" is on the west side.
3. One-inch services are required on alllot3.

1. No stonn drainage C3.lculations were provided nor were any design calculations
for the proposed stonn sewer and lift station provided. These will need to be
provided and reviewed in detail. The storm sewer lift station design will need to
be reviewed in association with a soils report regarding the permeability of the
pond located inOutlotB.
2. It is recommended that the storm sewer proposed on rear lot lines be eliminated
and the grading plan be revised to provide for overland flow to the street. This
would also include the storm manhole located immediately behind the curb at Lot
4 Block 2 in the northwest corner of the development.
F. STREETS
1. Fish Point Road is to be constructed to Municipal State Aid standards.
Therefore, horizontal and vertical alignment must meet a 35 mile per hour design
standard. It appears that the horizontal and vertical alignment of that street meets
the requirement; however, a landing area of approximately 0.50% should be
added at the intersection of County Road 44.
2. The same is true for the local streets within the plat which must meet a 30 mile
per hour design standard. It appears that all horizontal and vertical curves meet
such a standard. Wherever possible, landings should provide where the local
street meets the collector.
3. No typical street section was provided.
4. Acrording to our conversations with the Metro Division Office of State Aid,
eyebrow cul-de-sacs will not be allowed on Municipal State Aid roads.
Therefore, the eyebrow cul-de-sac along Fish Point Road in Block 11 should be
eliminated. We are continuing our discussion with MnDOT relative to an
acceptable alternative.

to discuss these comments with you and/or the developer at any convenient time.

BILL MANGAN, DIRECTOR OF PARKS AND RECREATIO
REVIEW OF PARK DEDICATION FOR CARDINAL HEIGH S
APRIL 28, 1993
Cardinal Heights presents a very unique opportunity for the
City of Prior Lake to open up the Markley Lake area for the
residents as an opportunity for both passive and active
recreation. This area is in dire need of a neighborhood park
facility in conjunction with the Brooksville Hills neighborhood.
The plat as submitted shows a tremendous amount of open space
(over one third of the plat). However, not all of the open space
can be used as park land. There are several areas that are
either listed as storm water management ponds or wetlands.
Historically, storm water management ponds have not been
considered part of the open space system. They have been
utilized as storm water management with a walkway around them but
have not been considered as park land.
I will break down each outlot as they have been listed as
public open space.
OUTLOT A
Outlot A has severe topographical constraints in addition to
bein9 part of a ponding easement and has little or no value as
publlC open space for park purposes.
OUTLOT B
Outlot B is the second largest parcel listed as public open
space. This parcel will also be used for storm water management
but it will also be used as park land. Outlot B will be designed
with the existing city well sight to contain a large neighborhood
park for this subdivision. There will be storm water retained on
this parcel at times but will generally drain off and be useful
open space. The well site needs to be addressed at the time of
development of this parcel. The well site needs to be cleaned
up, graded, and have turf established at the same time that
Outlot B is graded and seeded. This will provide a large land
area for open space for this neighborhood.
OUTLOT C
Outlot C will be used primarily for storm water management
purposes and has not been considered for open space. There will,
however, be neighborhood trails introduced into Outlot C to make
a connection, eventually, to Outlot D (the lake area).

OUTLOT D
Outlot D is the largest parcel of open space and includes
some severe topographlcal constraints that render it desireable
for open space but is not real conducive for anr development
accept on the far east side. There will be extens ve trail work
along the southern edge of the plat in Outlot D. These trails
will utilize the beautiful woods, ridges, and ravines that are
contained within this parcel. Eventually, the trail system will
connect Fish Point Road with the eastern boundary of the plat.
There does exist a need for more exposure to Outlot 0 however. I
would recommend that Lots 1, 2, and 3 of Block 8 be dedicated as
open space so that the Markley Lake area can be accessible to the
entire subdivision. This would provide 240 feet of street
visibility for the park so that people would have a clear
understanding that this area is park land. Outlot D will be an
open space area that will eventually become a facility that
approaches a community park---that is, there could be a shelter
facilitr, equipment rentals, parking lot, trails, and lakeshore
activitles. It is of sufficient size to accomodate fairly large
groups with manr amenities as previously listed. With the
hiking/biking tralls and waterfront activities, Outlot D has the
potential to be a very popular park.
OUTLOT E

OUTLOT F
Outlot F is a remnant parcel that is of little or no value to
either the developer or to the city. It has severe topographical
constraints, very poor access, and is basically a parcel that
needs to be addressed by the developer. There is almost 60 feet
of drop on the parcel with virtually no way to incorporate it
into open s~ace or storm water management ponds. This parcel
needs to be dlscussed further in order to determine its use.
TRAIL SYSTEM
As with anr new subdivisions, incor~oration into the city
trail system lS essential. Cardinal Helghts will have the usual
8' trail and 5' sidewalk along Fish Point Road which is a
collector street. In addition, there needs to be a connection
via Crossandra street to connect with the trail along Franklin
Trail. The developer appears to include sidewalk in the segment
of Crossandra Street from the west edge of the plat to Fish Point
Road. However, I feel that all of Crossandra street needs to
have a sidewalk to accomadate pedestrian traffic within the
subdivision.
Park Dedication
Cardinal Heights
page 3
The open space needs to be linked to the feature of the plat,
that being Markley Lake. There should be a series of trails on
the open space that will make the connection from northwest to
southeast within the plat. I would suggest an inner-neighborhood
trail system starting with Outlot B, crossing Fish Point Road and
going around the storm water ponds on Outlot C, crossing the west
to east road across from the Crossandra intersection, and then
going to the opening to the park located on Outlot D. Please
refer to the trail s~stem as attached to this memo.
In addition to lnner neighborhood trails, there will be
trails on Outlot D linking Fish Point Road to the lakeshore of
Markley Lake. This trail would offer spectacular scenery and a
very natural, wooded setting.
I would be excited to discuss the proposed sUbdivision and
the park dedication with the developer. I feel that the plat is
well done in terms of open space and I would be happy to discuss
it further.
Thank you.
MEMORANDUM

Re: CARDINAL HEIGHTS
(assessment review)
Date: April 26, 1993
Cardinal Heights planned unit development comprises a 147.03 acre
parcel in section 1-114-22 (PIN# 25 90l 018 0). This area has
received no prior assessments for City municipal utilities.
since utilities are available to the pro~erty site, the cost for
the extension of services internally wlll be the responsibility
of the developer. In addition to these improvement costs, the
subdivision will be subject to the following City charges
outlined below:
stormwater Management Fee
Collector Street Fee
Trunk Sewer & Water Fee
16.8 cents/sq. ft.
$700.00/acre
$2,750.00/acre
The application of these City charges would generate the
following costs to the developer based upon a net area of 69.64
acres of single family lots (3.03 million square feet) as
provided within the site data summary sheet of the preliminary
plat description:
69.64 acres @ 700.00/acre
69.64 acres @ 2750.00/acre
3,033,518 sq. ft.@ 16.8 cents
Total City fees
$ 48,748.00 (collector street)
$191,510.00(trunk water/sewer)
$509,631.02 (storm water)
$749,889.02
These charges represent an approximate cost of $3400.00 per lot
for the 22l proposed lots within the P.U.D. Assuming the initial
net lot area of the plat does not change, the above referenced
storm water, collector street and trunk water and sewer charges
would be determined and collected within the context of a
developer's agreement for the construction of utility
improvements at the time of each phase of the planned unit
development.
There are no other outstanding special assessments currently
certified against the property. Also, the tax status of the
property is current with no outstanding delinquencies.

COMMENTS:
· Recommend dedication of 60 foot right-of-way. With CSAH 44 providing the main north
entrance to this development, the future design of CSAH 44 should be a 4-lane divided
section through this intersection. A 120 foot corridor (60 ft. from centerline) is the minimum
recommended width for this design.
· The connection of Fish Point Road from the south with CSAH 44 requires an approved Scott
County Highway Department Entrance Permit.
· No direct access to CSAH 44 except through City streets (i.e. Fish Point Road).
· Scott County has a concern on the Outlots abutting CSAH 44 and the potential that these lots
may require direct access to CSAH 44. Recommend that the City require that future
development of Outlots, if they can be developed, have access to the City street system and
not CSAH 44.
· Recommend that the City and/or developer work with abutting jurisdictions and property
owners to hopefully develop an overall street system that does not require essentially all
vehicle trips to use CSAH 44. No continuity to the east especially.
III This development will have considerable impact on CSAH 44. Prior Lake needs to evaluate
the total County highway system impacting the City and prioritize from their perspective
County highway improvements the City feels are required.

From: Commissioner Greenfield
~ubjcct: Dissenting Opinion of PUD
PreliminarY Plat Cardinal Rid~e
J _
After c:-...1ensive and careful consideration of the Cardinal Ridge application.
there are several unadressed or unresolved issues which I believe warrants denial
tor application under the provisions of our City Zoning Ordinance section 6.11 -
POO, and should only receive approval for development under the R-I Single-
Familv.
Three specitlc areas are in Question:
1) Outlot property dedicated to our City are largely unusable and of poor park
quality. Reference the Memorandum from Bill Mangan, Director of Parks and
Recreation:
Outlot A has several topographical constraints in addition to being part of a
ponding easement and has little of no value as public open space for park
purposes.
Outlot B will also be used for storm water management but it will also be used as
park land. There ",ill be storm water retained on this parcel at times but will
genet'ally drain off and will be useful open space.
Outlot C will be used primarily as storm water management purposes and has not
been considered for open space.
Outlot D is the largest parcel of open space and includes some severe
topographical constraints that render it desirable for open space but is not real
conducive for anv development accept on the far east side. There \vill be
ex1ensive trail \vork along the southern edge of the plat.
Outlot E is comprised of severe topography and does contain a large ponding
casement on it and this outlot's primary purpose "ill be for storm water
management.
Outlot F is a remnant parcel that is of little or no value to either the developer
or to the city.
In summary, much of the dedicated outlot property given as open space park
credit is either for storm water management with ponds, steep slopes or unusable
f()r park or development.
If you factor out the unusable land due to severe slopes and water. the
tl)llo\ving "usable" park land exists: Outlot A - () acres, Outlot B-3.5 acres, Outlot
C - 3.6 acres. Outlot D - 4.3 acres. Outlot E - 2.3 acres. Outlot F - 0 = 13.7
acres/!47 acres or actual usable park land of 9.300. Using the same criteria on
Westbury ponds. a recent R-l development: 6 acres/59.8 acres or actual usable
park land of 100/0. Since there is not adequate quantity and quality open space
there is no justification fl1f PUD status.
(1)
2) The Developer has not complied with many components of Z.O. Sec.6.11
par.3A,5.
Specitically, there are no \\!ritten or contractual covenants to provide tl)r "Higher
stand.lrds of site and building design through the use of experienced land
Planners. Registered Architects and/or Landscape Architects to prepare plans for
all PUDs. The Developer has not demonstrated "Preservation and enhancement of
desir'abl<> site characteristics and open space." "~/lore efficient and effective
use of land, open space and public facilities." Since there is no demonstration of
higher standards of site design, enhancement of site characteristics or a more
efticient and effective use of land, there is no justification for PUD status.
3) The Developer has failed to submit any building and site design plans reference
Z.O. Sec. 6.11 par 12b. "Architectural style of buildings shall not solely be a basis
for denial or approval of a plan. However, the overall appearance and
compatibilitv of individual buildings to other site elements or to surrounding
development "ill be primary considerations in the re'\-iew stages of the
Planning Commission and Council." Since there is no demonstration of
compliance with the overall appearance and compatibility of individual buildings to
other site elements or to surrounding development there is no justit:ication for
PUD status.
This Development should not receive approval as a Planned Unit
Development unless the City receives written agreement for compliance with our
Zoning Ordinances. Additionally. any PUD that does not meet the city's criteria
shuuld not be granted a request for density increases, decreased lot frontage and
side vard dimensions.
As the dissenting opinion for the POO Cardinal Ridge, I request the
following explanation be added to the minutes of The Planning Commission for
Mav 20. 1993.
