FEBRUARY 16, 1993 Mr. Warren Israelson has petitioned the City to eliminate the 18% coverage ratio incorporated in section 4.2 of the Zoning Ordinance. Mr. Israelson is the developer of Carriage Hills-adjacent to Co.Rd. 21, a new single family development. section 4.2 of the Zoning Code re9Uires that a maximum coverage ratio be app11ed to all residential construction in every residential district. The percent of coverage varies depending on the use. These ratios were implemented in 1975 based on a comprehensive plan that was in place at that time (written in 1973). This plan provides no framework or reason for the coverage ratio nor does it delineate lot sizes for any residential uses. The 1981 Comprehensive Plan suggests density ranges of up to 16 units per acre (Policy I page 11) of the Comprehensive Plan. The plan sU9gests that official controls recognize eX1sting platted areas and provide housing opportunity consistant with those standards. The plan also states on page 10 "Natural features within the urban growth areas, whenever possible, will be encouraged to be retained as public open space. A variety of housing styles and types are recommended as well as programs to assure a balanced supply of housing units to meet the needs of all income groups". This plan as well as the 1973 plan does not suggest a coverage ratio. Mr. Tom Watkins who was on the City Council in 1975 recalls the history of the coverage ratio. The Council in 1975 wanted to provide opportunity for affordable housing in Prior Lake. The Council Plan called for a lot size 4629 Dakota St. S.E., Prior Lake, Minnesota 55372 / Ph, (612) 4474230 / Fax (612) 4474245 AN EQUAL OPPORTIJNJTY EMPLOYER reduction from 12,000 to 10,000 S9.ft. to reduce the land use component of hous1ng cost. However, to ensure that larger homes would not be constructed on the 10,000 square foot lots, an 18% coverage ratio was also adopted. It appears evident the coverage ratio was implemented without much analysis given to actual application or existing lot inventories. The maximum coverage ratio appears reasonable in theory but does not work in reality. By way of example the same 18% coverage ratio applies equal1~ to a 10,000 square foot single familr lot 1n a R-1 Zone, or a 6,000 square foot s1ngle family lot in an R-2 Zone. Eighteen percent of a 6,000 s9Uare foot lot equals 1,080 square feet which 1S a 600 square foot house and a 22x22 foot double car garage. Such an inconsistant application has made it virtually impossible to construct a reasonable sized home on many of Prior Lake's 50 foot wide lots ranging from 6,000-8,000 square feet in size without a variance. Many of the smaller lots are also lakeshore where home sizes can be considerably larger. The resulting policy was to exempt all lots platted prior to 1975 from the 18% coverage ratio requirement. The Zoning Code states that all lots of record are buildable subject to the regulation of the Code. Once a development has received final plat status all lots are of record and any land use thereon must comply with the standards of the code unless varied. However, the builder not the developer (whose job is complete) is responsible for ultimate use of the lots and determines the coverage ratio. Once a lot is platted the house size is fixed, the question then becomes should real estate agencies include the maximum allowable house size in their listings? The purchase of a lot would appear to be a risky investment for anyone who does not have a final house plan. Staff has not found any documentation to show how the 18% coverage ratio was determined. Perhaps it worked in 1975, but today falls short of market conditions and trends. Development trends today are for larger homes on smaller lots. Prior Lake's Comprehensive Plan suggests more shared open space resulting in the preservation of identity. This gives natural features a priority in determining the character of our neighborhoods versus an increased distance between houses. The former builds community identity, sense of place and ownership, and the latter just builds private space with few public openings. It is difficult to measure this standard in terms of providing for the general health and welfare of the community, but rather to the contrary, it will cause hardships for homeowners and builders alike. It is difficult to measure if the intended results of this 1975 stardard have been achieved. If the intent of the coverage ratio is to place larger homes on larger lots, then the implementation strategy should not be enforced at the building permit stage but rather at the platting stage via a larger minimum lot size. The Planning Commission conducted a public hearing on January 21, 1993 and on a 3 to 1 vote upheld the ordinance. The motion is as follows: MOTION BY GREENFIELD, SECOND BY WUELLNER TO DENY THIS REQUEST FOR ELIMINATION OF THE COVERAGE RATIO. THE ELIMINATION OF THE COVERAGE RATIO CONCEPTUALLY REDEFINES AND FURTHER DEGRADES OUR COMMUNITIES CURRENT VALUE OF 10,000 SQUARE FOOT LOT. THE RESULTANT DECREASE ALTERS LOT DENSITY AND DIMINISHES OPEN SPACE. My memorandum dated January 21, 1993 is attached for your review. Also attached for your review are pages 3 and 4 of the January 21, 1993 Planning Commission minutes. ALTERNATIVES: 1) To uphold the Planning Commission recommendation. 2) To continue the hearing for specific reasons. 3) To approve the proposal amendment or a variation. RECOMMENDATION: ACTION REQUIRED: Alternative #3. A motion from 4 out of 5 Council members is required to approve a Zoning Code Amendment. PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING MINUTES JANUARY 21, 1993 PAGE 3 Chairman Arnold reconvened the meeting at 9:30 P.M. ITEM III - PUBLIC HEARING TO DELETE 18% COVERAGE RATIO Mr. Dale Runkel, Consultant for Progress Land Company, the developer for Carriage Hills Addition, presented that when plat was approved lots met all requirements for subdivision. The developer requested that the 18% coverage ratio be deleted in all residential, districts to accommodate homes that are more in todays market trends. He provided overhead charts of outlying communities Showing their lot sizes vs coverage ratios or lack thereof. The homes that people want to build have a coverage ratio of 19% to 21%. The coverage ratio was not discussed dur1nq the plattinq process. The developer has always intended to construct homes in the $100,000 to $250,000 range. Now that the plan is beinq implemented as approved the coverage ratio does not correspond to the development concept. Mr. Runkel also demonstrated that the appearance of the development will not be altered due to the requested change in lot coverage. Homes will be built up to the 10' side yard setback lines regardless. of the 18%. coverage ratio. The difference will be in the depth of the home and resultant home price. Mr. Horst Graser comments that the coveraqe ratio is more a tool for water quality management rather than' to restrict a developer or a lot. Hearing was opened to the public. Marianne Whiting, 14897 Manitou Rd. N.E., Prior Lake. The Citizens Forum believes that larger houses must be built on larger lots. By deleting the 18% coverage ratio it would have a far more reaching effect creating larger homes on the lake and smaller corridors. We need to increase our standards and not drop them. Thorough review of lot sizes to be done at time of plat development. Tom Watkins, 5242 Frost pt.Cir, Prior Lake. When the 18% coveraqe ratio was developed, we were sensitive about economic zoning - partially market driven. 10,000 sq. ft. lot allowed the opportunity for smaller houses as community qrew. If house exceeded 18% coverage ratio it would need to be built on larqer lot. carriage Hills 1S a nice development with its unique topoqraphic features - don't lessen its beauty by allowinq larger homes on small lots. Carl Hansen, 4065 Raspberry Ridge Rd., Prior Lake. Reason for moving to area was feeling of openness and its wetland and ponds qiving it that rural feeling. Feels the coveraqe ratio should not be changed for this development. PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING MINUTES JANUARY 21, 1993 PAGE 4 Brad Wahl, 14195 Timberglade, Prior Lake. other communities shown in overhead charts do not have the assets of Prior Lake, i.e. Lake, open farm areas, etc. Keep Prior Lake a small rural community. We can't be compared to Burnsvi11e or Bloomington. Chairman Arnold asked the commissioners for their comments. Discussion followed. Commissioner Greenfield asked Mr. Warren Israelson why market trends made '18% coverage ratio outdated. Mr. Israelson stated his development was to contain homes priced at $100,000 to $250,000. Anything over a starter home wants a 3 car garage and the 18% coverage requirement came as a surprise to him. No other community he has developed property in has such a requirement. The streets are in and lots are determined. Wants to keep houses affordable yet have a quality project. Says the best interest of the City would be to waive the 18% coverage and to allow the pro~ect as proposed. Side yard setbacks will be met, won't detract 1n the aJ;>pearance from street and will be a more attractive house. Adm~tted he should have been aware of the coverage ratio but it was never brought up during the platting process. INFORMATION FROM STAFF: Intent of the 1975 Council permitted smaller homes so decreased lots from 12,000 sq.ft with 85' frontage to 10,000 sq. ft. with 80' frontage to attract federa~ and state grant homes which reflected the trends of the 70's. Today trends are larger homes so larger lots need to be available in these new subdivisions. MOTION BY GREENFIELD, SECOND BY WUELLNER TO DENY THIS REQUEST FOR ELIMINATION OF THE COVERAGE RATIO. THE ELIMINATION OF THE COVERAGE RATIO CONCEPTUALLY REDEFINES AND FURTHER DEGRADES OUR COMMUNITIES CURRENT VALUE OF 10,000 SQUARE FOOT LOT. THE RESULTANT DECREASE ALTERS LOT DENSITY AND DIMINISHES OPEN SPACE. Vote taken signified ayes by Wuellner, Greenfield, Arnold. Vote signified nay by Loftus. MOTION CARRIED.

The request is to delete the 18% coverage ratio requirement for sin~le and two family dwellings with1n all residential zoning distr1cts. A copy of the application, public notice and proposed amendment are attached to the agenda report. ZONING DISCUSSION: "coverage" is defined by the Prior Lake Zonin~ Ordinance as that portion of a lot covered by the princ1pal. and accessory structures. The coverage ratio is expressed 1n terms of a percentage and is the amount of impervious surface (associated with structures) divided by the total area of a lot. The 18% coverage ratio re~irement was added to the Zoning Ordinance in 1975. The defin1tion including coverage of principal and accessory structures applies to all single family and two family dwellings located upon lots zoned R-l, R-2, R-3 and R-4, created after the adoption of Zoning Ordinance 75-12. Lots created prior to Ordinance 75-12 are grandfathered lots of record, not subject to the 18% coverage ratio requirement. In 1987, the Zoning Ordinance was amended to add the S-D, Shoreland overlay district. The purpose of the S-D overlay district is to add special requirements for development within 1,000 feet of a protected lake, over and above the underlying residential zoning classification. Development is restricted by the provisions of the "R" zone, and if located within the Shoreland District, the provisions of the overlay district also apply. Within Shoreland Districts, the coverage ratio is more restrictive including all impervious surface such as decks, driveways, sidewalks as--we11 as principal and accessory structures. The maximum amount of impervious surface permitted on a lot located within the Shoreland District is 30%. The rationale of the DNR to limit the amount of impervious surface is 4629 Dakota Sl S.E., Prior Lake, Minnesota 55372 / Ph. (612) 4474230 / Fax (612) 4474245 AN EQUAL 0PP0RnJNITV EMPl.DVER to use the coverage ratio as a tool to manage water quality. Pre-development stormwater can usually be handled by the natural environment. Increased runoff, caused by buildings, roads, driveways and patios sometimes requires man made systems to augment what the natural environment is incapable of handling. Development adds add hard surfaces which are impermeable to water. Concentrations of stormwater can cause flooding and erosion which is the principal mobility agent for non-source pollution. Building sizes and hard surfaces should be minimized to help reduce the amount of runoff into public waters adjacent to shoreland districts. RESEARCH FINDINGS The Zoning Ordinance was substantially re-written in 1975. One of the new provisions was the addition of coverage ratio standards. The consultant planner for Prior Lake at that time was Charles Tooker. He recalled that the 1975 ordinance was changed to reduce lot sizes and add covera~e ratio requirements in order to promote affordable housing w1thin the City: It was the intent of the 1975 City Council to implement a zon1ng code which permitted smaller and less expensive homes to be built within the community. At that time, federal and state grants were available to communities who encouraged develoJ;>ment of affordable housing. Mr. Tooker recalled that the lot s~ze was decreased in R-1 zoning districts from 12,000 square feet with 85 feet of frontage to 10,000 square feet with 80 feet of frontage. He did not recall conducting sJ;>ecific research or analysis of the impact of the 18% coverage rat10 figure. It was his recollection that the percentage was chosen based upon an affordable dwelling unit size, t~pical of construction practices at the time. See attached Exhib1ts A, B, and C, for reference to zoning lot and yard requirements from ordinances 73-14, 75-12 and 83-6. Staff conducted a phone survey of nine communities to determine their respective requirements for the maximum impervious surface coverage permitted within residential districts. Communities that contain shoreland districts use the 30% coverage standards as defined by the DNR model shoreland management ordinance. The findings of the survey are as follows: Shakopee: Savage: Burnsville: Lakeville: Chaska: Eden prairie: Apple Valley: Chanhassen: Eagan: No Coverage Ratio Standards No Coverage Ratio Standards No Coverage Ratio Standards No Coverage Ratio Standards No Coverage Ratio Standards No Coverage Ratio Standards No Coverage Ratio Standards 25% Coverage Ratio for "Rn and liS-On Districts 20% Coverage Ratio for Residential Districts (Minimum lot size: 12,000 square feet with 85 feet of frontage) ALTERNATIVES: 1. Approve the amendment as submitted to delete the 18% coverage ratio requirement for single and two family dwellings located within all residential zoning districts. Deny the amendment for specific reasons, which would result in the continued application of coverage ratio and impervious surface standards as outlined in the Zoning Discussion. 3. Table the item for specific reasons, which would in effect kill the amendment. 2. 4. continue the item to a date and time certain for purposes of conducting further study or to find additional information as specifically requested by the Planning Commission. 5. Approve an alternativee3 the proposal which restricts maximum coverage to the currently applied within the shoreland district. STAFF COMMENTS ~ The recommendation from staff is to adopt alternative #1 or #5. Staff is of the opinion that the DNR standard was derived with a specific purpose to reduce erosion and non-point source pollution associated with storm water runoff caused partially by increased impervious surface. The 18% coverage ratio was derived somewhat arbitrarily to reflect a home size typicall~ constructed in 1975. It would appear that the 30% imperv10us surface standard as defined by shore1and regulations would be sufficient and it would be overly restrictive to apply the 18% standard in light of current construction practices. It is the opinion of staff that the 18% coverage ratio is no longer reflective of the housing market and construction practices in Prior Lake. Home sizes have increased since 1975 partially to reflect increased land values. In addition, the trend to construct three stall garages was not evident in 1975. Larger garages are common and reflect a desire of residents to have additional storage space for vehicles and recreational equipment such as snowmobiles and boats.

The applicant propos1n9 the amendment is Progress Land Company, 14300 Nicollet Court, SU1te 335, Burnsville, MN 55337. The coverage ratio is expressed in terms of a percentage and is the amount of impervious surface divided by the total area of a lot. Impervious surface is considered to be buildings, decks, patios, hard surfaced driveways or any surface that does not ~h allow water to penetrate to the unde . n residential ~~ districts, the maximum amount 0 ervious surfac is 18% for ~ I~ single family and two family dwellings. T e overage ratio \ l~ was first incorporated into the Prior Lake Zoning Ord1nance in ~A~~ 1975. In 1987, a special overlay zone referred to as the ~u 'J. Shoreland District, was incorporated into the Zoning Ordinance. lP The Shoreland District is considered to be all lands located r,~~within 1000 feet of a DNR protected lake or land within 300 feet ~,~r of a DNR protected stream. Within Shore land Districts, the maximum coverage ratio is 30%. The proposed amendment is to ' 0 delete the 18% coverage ratio requirement for single family and ~~~ two family dwellings within all residential zoning districts. ~.~1' However, lands located within a Shoreland District would continue \~ to be subject to the 30% coverage ratio requirement. If you desire to be heard in reference to this matter, ~ou should attend this public hearing. The Planning Commission w1l1 accept oral and or written comments. If you have questions regarding this matter, contact the Prior Lake Planning Department at 447-. 423~0. ,-(l~L- r'/ .
