Residential Planned Unit Development and Rezoning - Centex HomesA CITY OF ROSEMOUNT EXECUTIVE SUMMARY FOR ACTION City Cotnncil Meeting Date: September 2, 2003 Applicant Steve Ach of Centex Homes Lotion: " South of 130 Street, east of Bacardi Ave. Property Owner(s): Craig Minea & Patricia I avorius Area in Acres: 155 Comp. dude Plan Desig: Urban Residential Curt g: R -1, Low Density Residential Requested rezonings: R -2, Moderate Density and R -3, Medium Density Residential as applicable. Proposed gross density: 2.6 dwelling; units per acre Nature of Request: Residential Development with a mix of Single Family and Townhouse Units; park and open space; two ponds Housing Summary: 385 total units: 155 Single - Family Detached Homes (40 %) 60 "Vineyards" (20 x 3 unit row - houses) 58 "Carriage" (6 x °8 -unit double- loaded) & one 10 -unit double - loaded bldg 112 "Georgetown" units (14 x 6 unit rowhouses) & (7 x 4 unit rowhouses) SUMMARY Centex Homes has revised the Preliminary Plat and PUD Final Development Plans for the 155 -acre Minea property located south of 135' Street and east of the Bacardi Avenue intersection. The plans have been substantially revised in the townhouse portion of the PUD, and the single- family cul-de -sac south of the DNR pond has been dropped to preserve more of the trees and open space Around the - pond as an amenity. R -The developer is asking for additional considerations as part of the PUD process. The Planning, Commission has discussed some of the issues and made recommendations accordingly. One new issue is the 150 -foot building setback to the ordinary high water elevation (OH") of the DNR: pond. The OHWE is somewhat nigher than anticipated by the original plans, thus squeezing the lots on the east side of the pond. As a result, Lots 38, 39, 40.and 41 maybe have building pads that are too shallow. "Averaging" the setbacks taping into consideration the preserved open space behind Lots 45, 46, 47 and 48 seems to be a reasonable consideration. When asked:,, the Area Hydrologist from MnDNR indicated that he would not challenge the setback averaging if the Council approved it as part of the PUD. This consideration by DNR is made possible by the required 75 ft. buffer zone that will be protected by a conservation. easement. PLANNING COMMISSION SION PtTB IC HEARING The Commissioners discussed housing styles, sidewalks, trails and the developer's request for minimum garage size reductions in the Carriage town - homes. The Commissioners adopted a separate motion to add a specific recommended condition for adherence to the minimum 440 sq. ft. garage size, City Council Meeting September 2, 2003 - Centex / Minea PUD and Rezoning Page 2. The Planning Commission also adopted motions recommending approval of the rezonings to R -2, Moderate Density Residential for the Vineyards, Georgetown townhouses and R -3, Medium Density Residential for the Carriage townhouse areas. CONCLUSION AND RECOMMENDATIONS The focus of the PUD has been transfer or consolidation of density for the townhouses and lot size reductions in return for open space. The PUD is driven by site constraints such as collector street corridors and pipeline easements. But in the end, the City Council must be comfortable with the project as a whole, and preferably, a unique project that is superior to a standard subdivision. Staff feels that the visibility of the open space from Connemara Trail and County Road 38 will enhance the character of the area. 32% of the land is presented as open space. However, half of that space is not available for development any way, in the form of pond or pipeline corridor. In addition, the perimeter of the DNR pond has the 150 ft. building setback and 75 ft. bufferzone that would either restrict or prohibit development related impacts.

Attached memos from the City Engineer and Parks & Recreation Director provide additional discussion concerning the EAW, engineering, streets / driveways, utilities and Park Dedication issues. If Council adopts the resolution approving the PUD, the next step will have the staff assemble the PUD Agreement, which will secure all of the concessions and expectations between the Developer and the City concerning the overall project.

Brotzler, P.E. City Engineer > Y g DATE: August 28, 2003 RE: Minea Preliminary Plat Comments and Recommendations As the Minea property abuts County Road 38, currently a gravel road to the north, the property would be subject to special assessments associated with the cost of constructing County Road 38 to an urban street section in the future. At this time, construction of County Road 38 to an urban section is not included in Dakota County's 5 -year Capital Improvement Program, but recent correspondence (Attachment 1) from Dakota County indicates that County Road 38 is being considered as apotential candidate for turn back to the City. To ensure that the City is able to recover costs associated with the construction of County Road 38 to an urban section, it is recommended that the developer, Centex, provide a cash deposit of $265,000 for the future construction of County Road 38. This cash deposit amount is based on 50 percent of the estimated cost to construct a typical 32 -foot wide residential street section with storm sewer and pedestrian facilities. The estimated front footage rate is $100.00 per front foot. The original concept plan (Attachment 2) for the proposed Minea development included the extension of Bacardi Avenue from County Road 38, south to Connemara Trail. It was originally anticipated that this extension of Bacardi Avenue would be required to meet the transportation needs of the development and would also provide for access to the proposed park area. From the completion of a traffic analysis for the proposed development as part of the Environmental Assessment Worksheet (EAW), it was determined that the extension of Bacardi Avenue was not required from a traffic standpoint but could still be required at the discretion of the City to accommodate access to the proposed park. In lieu of the extension of Bacardi Avenue from County Road 38 south to Connemara Trail, it is recommended that a driveway access and parking lot, as shown on the attached drawing (Attachment 3); be constructed at the developer's expense. In addition, site grading of the park area shall be completed by the developer. Minea Comment Memo As you are aware, the City has recently acquired land directly to the west of the proposed Minea development for the construction of Fire Station #2, scheduled to be constructed in 2005. In anticipation of the construction of Fire Station #2 and the Connemara Trail overpass in 2005, it is recommended that the right -of -way for Connemara Trail within the proposed Minea development be platted and constructed entirely with a first addition or phase final plat. In addition to the above, it should be noted that right -of -way will need to be acquired for the construction of Connemara Trail from approximately 660 feet west of the Minea property to the west property line of the Minea Property (Attachment 4). As funding for the acquisition of this right -of -way and extension of Connemara Trail have not been identified by the City, it is recommended that preliminary plat approval for the Minea development be conditioned upon the availability of funds for right -of -way acquisition and construction of Connemara Trail to the west plat boundary of the Minea property. • The developer has requested that trees be allowed to be planted within the boulevard right-of- way within the development. For the installation of boulevard trees within the right -of -way to be considered, it is recommended that a minimum boulevard width of 8 feet be provided. It is also recommended that the ownership, maintenance and replacement of all boulevard trees within rights -of -way be the responsibility of the Homeowner's Association. • It is recommended that the preliminary plat approval be conditional upon conformance with the EAW prepared for the development and with the responses to comments completed for the EAW. • Permanent stormwater basins shall be used as settling basins during grading and construction activities. Upon final construction and restoration of all building sites, all permanent stormwater basins shall be cleaned out and restored to original proposed grades by the developer. • The proposed Pond D currently meets infiltration requirements for the development. However, the final infiltration design shall be dependent on the remediation of -the identified dumpsite and determination that the infiltration requirements are accommodated. Should it be determined that the infiltration requirements for the development can not be met as proposed due to the dumpsite, additional infiltration areas will need to be developed within the development. • For the DNR wetland, a 75 -foot wetland buffer from the delineated wetland edge is required. A conservation easement (Attachment 5) shall be provided for this wetland buffer area. Wetland buffer monumentation shall be installed by the developer. The Ordinary High Water elevation for Pond A as established by the DNR is 952.2. Based on the City's Shoreland Ordinance, a 150 -foot structure setback is required from the DNR OHW elevation of 952.2. Based on this requirement, it appears that several proposed structure locations within Block 4 encroach within this setback and should be modified. 2 Minea Comment Memo • For Lots 35 to 44, Block 4, it is recommended that the lot lines be extended to the HWL for Pond A. • Final drainage and utility easements shall be subject to the completion and review of final grading, street and utility plans. • As part of the design for Pond D, an outlet control structure will be required as shown on Attachment 6. To facilitate access to this outlet structure for maintenance and operation of the stormwater system, Outlot D should be extended between Lots 21 and 22, Block 1 to accommodate a paved access to the outlet structure as shown on Attachment 6. • Preliminary plat approval should be conditional upon the revision of the preliminary plat to incorporate the above requirements and requirements identified in the August 18, 2003 Minea Preliminary Plat Comments on file in the Engineering Department. Should you have questions regarding the above comments, please do not hesitate to contact me at 651- 322 - 2025.

The escrow amount shall be based on a typical 32 -foot wide residential street section, with storm sewer and pedestrian facilities. The front footage of the Minea property along County Road 38 is approximately 2,650 feet. The calculated front footage rate for reconstruction is $100.00 per foot and includes 30 percent overhead cost. The escrow amount for County Road 38 will total $265,000.00. 2. The developer shall make site grading and street and parking improvements within the park area as determined by the City. 3. The final plat of the first addition or please shall include the platting of Connemara Trail right -of -way from the west plat boundary to the south plat boundary at the railroad tracks. Connemara Trail shall be completely constructed entirely with the first addition plat. 4. All boulevard trees proposed to be planted within public right -of -way shall be owned, maintained and replaced by,the Home Owner's Association or adjacent private property owners. For the installation of boulevard trees to be considered a minimum 8 -foot boulevard width from back of curb to trail or sidewalk will be required. The right -of CADocuments and Settings \rwp\Local Settings \Temporary Internet Fi1es \0LK2 \minea0818.doe way for Street A will need to be modified to accommodate the installation of boulevard trees. The developer will be required at his expense, to verify and regrade to approved final grading plan if not in conformance, all storm basins prior to final acceptance by the City of Rosemount. 6. Final grading plans and plats shall conform with the EAW and responses to comments prepared for the development. The recommendations shall be incorporated into the final PUD Agreement for the development. Infiltration Requirements 1. Currently, the proposed Pond D meets all infiltration requirements. However, the final infiltration design is dependent on the dumpsite resolution. If surface area is reduced due to the dumpsite and the infiltration criteria cannot be met then additional infiltration areas will need to be identified. 2. It is intended to have a draintile system included as part of the infiltration system. Construction of this system will not be completed until development of the entire site is complete and the developer has verified the correct grading of storm water basins. Water Quality — Water Quantity The proposed grading plan meets the water quality and rate control for the site, but this may vary depending on dumpsite resolution. Preliminary Plat The DNR OHW shall be depicted on the grading plan for Pond A at elevation 952.2. The 150 -foot structure set back from the DNR OHW shall be adjusted to the 952.2 elevation. 2. Based on this requirement, it appears that several of the lots within Block 4 will need to be modified to maintain a 150 -foot structure setback from the DNR OHW elevation of 952.2. 3. For Lots 35 -48, Block 4, rear lot lines should be extended to the HWL elevation. A conservation easement will be required from the delineated wetland edge to the 75 -foot buffer edge. Wetland buffer monumentation will be required. 4. The drainage and utility easement over the proposed watermain located between Lots 23, 24, 32 and 33, Block 4 shall be 20 feet in width. Also, an easement will need to encompass the watermain on Lot 24, Block 4. For Lots 15 -35, Block 4 the drainage and utility easements should be revised to accommodate the rear yard drainage swale 6. The easement between Lots 16 -17 and Lots 21 -22, Block 7 shall be modified to 20 feet in width to accommodate the proposed rear yard storm sewer. CADocuments and Settings\rwp \Local SettingsUemporary Internet Files \OLK2 \minea0818.doc 7. The easement between Lots 2 -3, Block 10 shall be modified to 20 feet in width to accommodate the proposed rear yard storm sewer. 8. For the proposed storm sewer from Street D to Pond C an easement encroachment agreement with the gas company will be required. 9. All emergency over flows shall be located within a drainage and utility easement to avoid homebuilders and /or homeowners from obstructing them. 10. For Lots 37 -41, Block 1, the drainage and utility easements shall be revised to accommodate the rear yard swale and proposed storm sewer. 11. For Lots 16 -18, Block 1, the drainage and utility easements shall be revised to accommodate the rear yard drainage. 12. The easement between Lots 7 -8, Block 1 should be modified to accommodate the rear yard storm sewer. It appears the proposed storm sewer will be greater than 10 feet in depth and an easement width up to 30 feet may be required in this area. 13. The easement width on Lots 26 -27, Block 1, should be increased to 20 feet to accommodate the proposed storm sewer to Pond D. 14. The preliminary plat should indicate a drainage and utility easement for the outlet of Pond A to the Connemara Trail storm sewer system. The proposed storm sewer outlet will connect to storm sewer along Street G or Street L 15. The easement for Lots 4 -5, Block 5 should be increased to 20 feet to accommodate the proposed rear yard storm sewer. 16. The easement for the proposed sanitary sewer lift station located on the northeast corner of Lot 34, Block 1, should be revised to accommodate a structure 25.5 feet in depth for maintenance access and future replacement and /or repair. Grading Plan 1. All emergency over flows will be required to have a minimum one -foot of free board from adjacent house pads and low openings. 2. The proposed grading adjacent to Connemara Trail shall be modified to utilize 3:1 slopes only outside of the clear zone. 3. The final grading plan will require more detailed information for grading of the rear yard area in Block 2 to accommodate positive drainage. 4. Verify that contours from the Biscayne Pointe 4 th Addition match the as -built grading plans from Probe Engineering. 5. The proposed park grading plan will be provided to Westwood to be incorporated into the final grading plan. CADocuments and Settings \rwp \Local Settings \Temporary Internet Fi1es \OLK2\minea0818.doc 6. Final grading plans will require the submittal of a complete erosion control and turf restoration plan. 7. The proposed rear yard drainage for Block 6 should be reviewed to allow for overland flow with a rear yard Swale to avoid a rear yard storm sewer system. Revising house pad elevations or adjusting house types could accommodate this. 8. A paved maintenance access route to Pond D at the southwest corner or Pond D shall be provided. The feasibility of an alternative location may be considered to place the outlet structure for Pond D in the southeast corner where vehicle access can be achieved. If determined feasible, this alternative would require the developer to cover the full cost of extending the storm sewer to the southeast corner of Pond D due to the crossing into the Bloomfield Vineyards dictating the downstream crossing location. 9. For Lots 37, 38, 43, 44, and 45, Block 4 the silt fence should be extended to avoid sediment from entering Pond A. The grading plan indicates a proposed swale to Pond A across Lots 45 -46, Block 4, the erosion control in this area should be indicated on the plan. 10. There will be proposed storm sewer between Lots 26 -27, Block 1. This will require a 10 -foot wide swale at a minimum elevation of 912 to the open water area illustrated on the grading plan. 11. The grading plan shall be revised to show elevation 946 contour on the west side of Connemara Trail in Lot 38, Block 11 extended to the Connemara Trail abutment. 12. The proposed low point of Street D at station 107 +10 could reach a depth of three feet prior to overflow to the west. An emergency overflow should be constructed that would allow overflow from this area at a depth of less than 3 feet. 13. The grading plan illustrates a proposed swale from Outlot B discharging directly to Street A at station 22 +10. The storm sewer will need to be revised to intercept this flow prior to discharging to the street. 14. The grading plan should be revised to show an elevation 952 contour on the north side of the emergency overflow at the low point of Street D near station 114 +03. 15. The elevations 962, 964, and 968 contours should be revised on Lots 48 -49, Block 4 to tie into existing contours. 16. Storm sewer catch basins should be incorporated into the low point of Street E at station 40 +96. 17. The contours illustrated for Street B should correspond to the vertical profile proposed for Street B on sheet 8. Utility Plan 1. For proposed lateral storm sewer within the Street A cul -de -sac, a separate outlet to CADocuments and Settings\rwp \Local Settings \Temporary Internet Fi1es \OLK2 \minea08t8.doc Pond D will be required from what is shown. No connections to the trunk storm sewer line will be allowed. 2. Additional storm sewer should be proposed along the rear yards of Lots 22 -23 and Lot 33, Block 4 to intercept overland flow in the Swale before discharging into Pond A. Landscaping Plan 1. The landscaping plan should be modified to not show any trees being planted in emergency overflow routes, rear yard swales, pond maintenance routes and over the proposed storm sewer system. 2. The landscaping and planting plan for Pond C and Pond D shall be forwarded to the City for review. Street Profiles 1. Following is a list of vertical profile elevation discrepancies at street intersections that should be revised: a. Street H - station 55 +50 and Street E - station 1 +00 has a vertical difference of 0.6 feet. b. Street B - station 50 +00 and Street J - station 3 +40 has a vertical difference of 1.7 feet. c. Street E - station 40 +00 and Street C - station 23 +00 has a vertical difference of 0.3 feet. d. Street I - station 38 +35 and Street A - station 18 +95 has a vertical difference of 0.3 feet. e. Connemara Trail - station 24 +40 and Street A - station 24 +75 has a vertical difference of 0.23 feet. f. Street B - station 58 +85 and Street A - station 27 +80 has a vertical difference of 2.1 feet. g. Street J - station 0 +00 and Street A - station 34 +90 has a vertical difference of 1.3 feet.

I had previously reviewed an EAW for the project not long ago. The consultants have asked for DNR concurrence for relaxation of the structure setback standard for 3 lots that have, under the current layout, trouble meeting the 150' structure. As I understand it, they are interested in a setback of 120 feet (80% of the minimum required). If the city strictly adheres to the 75' wetland buffer, as proposed, and delineates it with corner markers indicating same, and the west side of the pond is not developed, the relaxation of the setback standard should not have a measurable impact on the wetland. I would expect that development on the balance of the lots would meet all required performance standards for lot size, width, setback, and impervious surface coverage. This would include decks off the side or rear of homes. DNR is generally not supportive of variances from shoreland standards for new plats. I hope we don't see something like this again anytime soon. I will let the city determine whether the requested setback relaxation for the 3 lots is acceptable or not, and I will respect the decision made.

The plat identified outlot E to contain the City park. The Parks and Recreation Commission made the following recommendation to the City Council: "MOTION to recommend that the City Council approve the Minea preliminary plat with the following considerations: Park dedication credit of up to eight acres of city parkland, that the park amenities can be built in the park as proposed, or using a different design with the same land area, and that cutting of trees be closely monitored. " The Commission asked for the developer to meet the guidelines for trails and sidewalks on the collector streets. They also recommended adding sidewalks to both sides of the local streets. Items to be included in the PUD Agreement should include the following: All land and cash dedication will be made with the first plat of the property as per the City's Subdivision Ordinance. • The cash dedication shall be calculated based on the park dedication fees at the time of the final plat being filed. • The park will be graded and seeded as per the Subdivision Ordinance. • The Developer will provide street and or driveway access to the public park as per the recommendations of the City Engineer. Please let me know if you have any questions regarding this memo. H: \WPDATA \PRCOMM \Mina \2003 \Staff for Counil Minea Prelim.

The DCSWC's comment states that there is a "potential" greenway corridor link between UMore Park and the Northern Rosemount Area Lakes and Woodlands identified in the Dakota County Farmland and Natural Area Plan. Greenway areas are identified within UMore Park and the County plan but there is no link currently identified or proposed between the two areas. After confirming this with Mr. Watson and Mr. Chatfield, both gentlemen agreed that the City could attempt to create a link through use of parks, open space restoration, conservation easements or ponding areas.

CITY OF ROSEMOUNT EXECUTIVE SUMMARY FOR ACTION Planning Commission Meeting Date: August 12, 2003 AGENDA ITEM: Residential Planned Unit Development and AGENDA SECTION: rezoning - Centex Homes Public Hearing Con't. PREPARED BY: Rick Pearson, City Planner. AGENDA NO. 5 ATTACHMENTS: Location Map, Revised Preliminary Plat reductions, Concept Approval Resolution APPROVED BY: 2003 -8 Urban Residential Applicant: Steve Ach of Centex Homes Location: South of 135 Street, east of Bacardi Ave. Property Owner(s): Craig Minea & Patricia Kavorius Area in Acres: 155 Comp. Guide Plan Desig: Urban Residential Current Zoning: R -1, Low Density Residential Requested rezonings: R -2, Moderate Density and R -3, Medium Density Residential as applicable. Proposed gross density: 2.6 dwelling units per acre Nature of Request: Residential Development with a mix of Single Family and Townhouse Units; park and open space; two ponds Housing Summary: 385 total units: 155 Single - Family Detached Homes (40 %) 60 "Vineyards" (20 x 3 unit row - houses) 58 "Carriage" (6 x 8 -unit double - loaded) & one 10 -unit double - loaded bldg. 112 "Georgetown" units (14 x 6 unit rowhouses) & (7 x 4 unit rowhouses) SUMMARY Centex Homes has revised the Preliminary Plat and PUD Final Development Plans for the 155 acre Minea property located south of 135 Street and east of the Bacardi Avenue intersection. The plans have been substantially revised in the townhouse portion of the PUD, and the single - family cul -de -sac south of the DNR pond has been dropped to preserve more of the trees and open space around the pond as an amenity. The emphasis of the higher density housing has changed. The double - loaded building style has been reduced from 132 to 58 units, and the rest of the attached housing is two different styles of row - house. The 112 Georgetown units are typical of what Centex built in Bloomfield, south of the railroad line. The three -unit Vineyards buildings have not changed. With the Georgetown row - houses, the circulation pattern has changed with additional open space available in several locations, more evenly distributed across the higher density area. One issue that has not been previously discussed is garage sizes. The Carriage units are proposed to have 385 sq. ft. garages, which is a variance from the 440 sq. ft. standard. Staff has reservations about justifying the smaller garages, unless they were necessary to maintain the housing in an affordable category. In any event, the standard equates to 20' x 22' which seems to be a reasonable minimum in the opinion of staff. Additional landscaping has been provided, primarily along Connemara Trail, the railroad tracks and County Road 38. One additional location for enhancement is the gap created by the pipeline easement at the railroad tracks. This area could use additional screening that would be staggered by the easement. August 12, 2003 Regular Planning Commission Reviews - Centex / Minea Preliminary Plat Review Page 2. Conclusion and Recommendation The focus of the PUD has been transfer or consolidation of density for the townhouses and lot size reductions in return for open space. The PUD is driven by site constraints such as collector street corridors and pipeline easements. But in the end, the Planning Commission and the City Council must be comfortable with the project as a whole, and preferribly, a unique project that is superior to a standard subdivision. Staff feels that the visibility of the open space from Connemara Trail and County Road 38 will enhance the character of the area. RECOMMENDED ACTION: Motion to recommend that the City Council approve the preliminary plat for Centex / Minea subject to: 1. Incorporation of recommendations of the City Engineer regarding drainage, easements, grading, plat considerations, streets, utilities and wetland buffer preservation. 2. Incorporation of the recommendation of the Parks and Recreation Commission relative to Park Dedication, including dedication of up to eight acres for park. 3. Conformance with applicable building and fire codes, including those articles specified in the attached memo by the Fire Marshal. 4. Open land not dedicated for public use or park development shall be owned and maintained by a homeowners association, which will be responsible for improvements and maintenance of the land. 5. Execution of a PUD Agreement to acknowledge the variances granted through PUD, and securing the developer installed improvements to be implemented in all phases which include: a) Single- family lot dimension minimum standards reductions to 70 ft. widths and front yard reductions to 25 feet. b) Density transfer for the townhouse cluster areas for the Carriage and Georgetown units in return for the open space presented in outlots A, B, C, E exclusive of Park Dedication. c) Landscaping for screening and aesthetic considerations throughout the development. 6. Conformance with the requirements for final plat including execution of a subdivision development agreement with each phase /plat to secure public and private improvements and infrastructure. 7. Approval of the Dakota County Plat Commission in accordance with the requirements of the Contiguous Plat Ordinance including dedication of additional right -of -way as needed. 8. Rezoning the "Vineyards" & "Georgetown" units to R -2, Moderate Density Residential, and the "Carriage" units to R -3, Medium Density Residential. 9. Including additional landscaping for screening to both outer edges of the pipeline easement along the railroad tracks. 10. Eliminating the 90- degree parking coming off of the public street "D" near the Gazebo. 11. Revision of the park entrance at street "G" as well as the lot line for lot 49, Block 4. 12. Provision of a sidewalk on the north side of Street A east of Connemara Trail. 13. Escrow of funds for the Developer's share of the future upgrading of County Road 38, including a trail on the south side. Motion to rezone the Vineyards Homes lots 5, 6, 7, 8, Block 4 and Lots 53, 54, 55, 56, 58, 59, Block 5 and Lots 34, 35, 36, 37, 38, 39, 40, and 42, Block 1, and Blocks 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, and Lot 1, Block 17 to R -2, Moderate Density Residential. Motion to rezone Lots 2, 3, Block 17 and Block 18 to R -3, Medium Density Residential. PLANNING COMMISSION ACTION: CITY OF ROSEMOUNT TO: FROM: DATE: RE: Planning Commission Rick Pearson, City Planner August 7, 2003 CITY HALL 2875 — 145th Street West Rosemount, MN 55068 -4997 Phone: 651 - 423 -4411 Hearing Impaired 651 - 423 -6219 Fax: 651 - 423 -5203 Supplementary information for Centex / Minea Planned Unit Development ATTACHMENTS: Housing Sketches & Descriptions This Planned Unit Development is based upon the mix of housing types and density concentrated into higher density clusters with open space as a result. Some of the open space would be required in any event because of pipeline corridors and wetland buffer zones and setbacks. The challenge to the Developer is to create a housing project that turns the imposed open space into an opportunity and creating a better living environment (a required finding in support of PUD). Single Family Housing —155 lots (40% of housing units) The single - family housing element is intended to be conventional in terms of the overall normal appearance of the housing types. The PUD request includes exceptions to lot width and depth and front yard setbacks. The changes are: Dimension Current Standard Proposed Standard Reduction/ Variance Lot Width 80 feet minimum 70 feet minimum 10 feet Lot Depth 125 feet 120 feet 5 feet Front yard setback 30 feet 25 feet 5 feet. It should be noted that not all of the lots are going to be reduced to the minimum. There will still be quite a few lots that are larger than the minimum, and as many as 30% will meet or exceed the current standards. The reductions are intended to create flexibility that is needed in several locations as a result of the DNR regulated pond in the northwest corner of the property for example. The front -yard setback reduction is intended to be used very sparingly in the single - family area, primarily southeast of the pond as a result of the 150 foot building setback which is required from the ordinary high water elevation. The single family component has been changed to create more open space around the edge of the pond and in the vicinity of the old farmstead. The cul -de -sac has been removed to preserve more of the trees in this area. However, the Park dedication is not propsed to increase, so much of the open space will be preserved via outlots or conservation easements. Centex / Minea Planned Unit Development Supplementary Information Page 2. The other significant plan revision concerns the townhouse area. A majority of the double - loaded units have been replaced by row - houses and there is more open space evenly distributed. The housing is generally arranged around a looped public street with common driveways leading to garage courts behind the row - houses. Two additional open spaces are now created as a result in addition to the previously articulated western space with the "figure -8" trail. A centrally located space splits the housing area with two edge trails leading to front doors. There is also open space on the east side, sort of balancing out the overall space. The common parking deficit issue has been addressed — 85 common parking spaces are required. An estimated 109 spaces are available between the "bay parking" and the public street. Staff will recommend that the 90 degree stalls coming off of street D be removed or redesigned into a conventional parking lot. The 109 spaces does not include the 12 spaces in this location. Vineyards Row Townhouses — 60 units Row House style (16% of housing units) These single loaded row house townhouses are the same as approved in Bloomfield Vineyards (Seventh Addition). They typically form a transition between single family and higher density or other "edges" of the development. Brick veneers are shown on the elevations with full height on the garage piers, and as wainscoting at front and side elevations. This treatment would be expected on all such housing. Carriage housing - 58 units in eight & ten unit buildings (15% of units) The carriage units are the highest density townhouses usually found. Because the units are double loaded back to back, interior units have three party walls. End units are similar to the traditional quad with two party walls. These units are most challenging to create a desirable living environment because the buildings have driveways on both sides, and have to be surrounded by streets (usually private). The proportion of this type of unit has been reduced by more than 56 % with the current plan revision. The plan now places these units on the outer edge of the higher density area along the railroad tracks and on the outer edge of the looped street system, nearest to the open space with the "figure -8" trail feature. Georgetown row - houses —112 units in four and six unit buildings (29% of units) This style of row -house was built extensively in Bloomfield (120 units) and is being introduced to compensate for the reduction of the Carriage units. The style offers a pedestrian oriented "front door" on one side and the garages on the opposite side. The advantage is to better orient one side to green space, and concentrate garages on the opposite side, instead of both sides of the Carriage housing. Lap - siding is shown on the elevations, most second -story windows have shudders, and all of the interior units have a front porch. The end units have brick on the first story, or offer half of the vertical two -story as brick for contrast. Centex / Minea Preliminary Plat Revision Supplementary Information Page 3. Park and Wetland at Northwest corner of site and Tree Preservation The Parks and Recreation Commission will be making a separate recommendation regarding the required neighborhood park. The Commissioners have previously been unwilling to accept un- useable land (pipeline easement) for park dedication. As well, the pond bisected by Cunty Road 38 is a regulated wetland with a required 75 foot buffer -zone that overlaps with a 150 ft. building setback. The resulting open space is intended to be left in a natural state. The plan indicates clusters of trees and shrubs planted on the outer edge beyond the buffer, and "Peterson Blue -Bird houses" at alternating lot corners. There would also be signs delineating the natural buffer area. The vast majority of trees on the site are either Boxelder or Siberian Elm, two tree types that are not considered to be good quality of trees and are normally exempted from replacement requirements. The plan shows all of the trees within the buffer area to be preserved, which is about half of the trees on the site. With the elimination of the cul -de -sac, a higher percentage of trees will be preserved, even though they are of marginal quality. Most of the higher quality trees that includes some Oaks and American Elm and Black Cherry are in the farmstead area or the extreme northeast corner were Street A is expected to connect with 135 Street (County Road 38). Half -mile spacing is important, and it makes sense for Street A to split the Minea property with its neighbor to the east. In conclusion, while it seems that many trees are to be lost, few of them are of reasonable quality, and the plan shows significant numbers of replacement materials used especially for screening.

The plans have been revised in the townhome area and the single- family cul -de -sac south of the DNR pond has been eliminated to preserve more of the trees and open space as an amenity. The double - loaded buildings have been reduced to 58 units. The rest of the attached housing will be two different types of row houses. There will be 112 units of the Georgetown which is similar to the ogles built south of the railroad line in Bloomfield. There will be 60 of the three -unit Vineyards buildings. With the Georgetown houses, more open space has been made available and it is more evenly distributed across that area of the plat. One issue not previously discussed is the garage sizes for the Carriage homes. The proposed garages are only 385 sq. ft. Since our standard is 440 sq. ft. they would need a variance. It is unclear if the smaller garage size was necessary to make the housing affordable. Landscaping has been added along Connemara Trail, the railroad tracks, and CR 38. There could be additional landscape screening in the gap created by the pipeline easement at the railroad tracks. Planning Commission Meeting Minutes August 12, 2003 Page 2 Comments received from the EAW process are that there appears to be a record of an abandoned dump site near the railroad tracks that needs to be cleaned up in accordance with Dakota County standards. There is also a condition of approval stating that all comments in the EAW be incorporated into the preliminary plat. Ed Hasek, Westwood Professional Services, stated the revised plan is a dramatic change and improvement to the previous plan. The Carriage home area has been changed to incorporate a third multiple product which is the Georgetown unit. They have revised the single family homes in the area near the DNR pond. They have taken out the cul -de -sac to preserve trees and create more open space. The other big change is the inclusion of a significant amount of open space in the middle of the largest multiple family area of the site. They see it as a formal space with a gazebo, structured plantings, and access from both the north and south. Based on Staff recommendations they will eliminate the parking on the southern edge of that space. On the previous plan there was about 44 acres of total open space. That number is now nearly 50 acres based on the changes made. They would like to mix the size of units for single- family homes throughout the project. They concur with about 90 percent of staff comments. They can add more landscaping along the railroad tracks and adjacent to the carriage homes. They feel the plan is a good one and they have responded to comments heard from both the Commission and Council. Steve Ach, Centex Homes, stated the garage size was smaller because the plans had not been changed to meet the standard of 440 sq. ft. That product is a lower price point and it is a customer choice to get the smaller garage. He felt the garages could never be built big enough because people will always try to fill them up. There are 58 units in the carriage home area that would need the variance for the smaller garage size. They feel the garage size is driven by the consumers. There will be models on the site for each product offered so the customers can. see what they are getting. They are clear about getting only 8 acres of credit for park land. They are proposing to have sidewalks along one side of all the interior streets and then a sidewalk and trail on both sides of the collector streets. They will be sprinklering the bigger buildings in addition to having some turn- arounds. The open green space in the townhouse area will be maintained by the association. There was a discussion about extending the lot lines to the pond and placing a conservation easement over that area. There was also a discussion on the ordinary high water level for the pond. There is currently no outlet for this pond but City Engineer Brotzler did state the Comprehensive Storm water Management Plan does indicate this pond being routed to the north through a series of storm water pipe sometime in the future. Mr. Ach did show the Commission some samples of the single- family housing that may be available for this project. Typically they will be two -story houses with 2000 -2500 sq. ft with triple car garages with front porches with "some architectural detail. They would have lot restrictions for certain houses. They are projecting seven or eight different floor plans and each plan has three elevations. Chairperson Weisensel opened the public hearing. There were no comments.

Chairpers Weisensel confirmed with the recording secretary placed on file with the City all Aff avits of Mailing and Postings of a Public Hearing Notice an ffidavits of Publication con ruing the public hearings on the agenda. Public Hearing: Minea Property /Centex Homes Preliminary Plat Centex Homes revised the Preliminary Plat plans for the 155 -acre Minea Property located south of 135 Street east of Bacardi Avenue. The plans have been revised in the townhouse area. There are two types of R -3 Medium Density housing. Overall there are 112 row home units and 58 double - loaded units. The single family cul -de -sac south of the DNR regulated pond has been eliminated to preserve more trees and open space. The reduction in housing is five single family lots and two townhouses. Parking is adequate for this development. Although additional details are needed, Staff feels this revision is a significant design improvement. If the Planning Commission supports these revisions, Centex Homes will complete all the detailed revisions for the August 12, 2003 meeting. Steve Ach, Centex Homes, stated they were looking for confirmation that this plan is going in the right direction. They have changed some of the product and created more open space more central to the attached area while maintaining the open space on the other side. They removed some single family lots to preserve more trees and added about 2 more acres of parkland. Planning Commission Meeting Minutes July 22, 2003 Page 2 .

CITY OF ROSEMOUNT DAKOTA COUNTY, MINNESOTA RESOLUTION 2003- 3 8 A RESOLUTION APPROVING THE CONCEPT RESIDENTIAL PLANNED UNIT DEVELOPMENT FOR CENTEX HOMES, INC.. WHEREAS, the Community Development Department of the City of Rosemount received an application from Centex Homes, Inc. for approval of a Concept Residential Planned Unit Development for a residential development with a mix of single- family and townhouse units, a park, open space, and two ponds proposed for south of 135 Street and north of the Union Pacific Railroad; and WHEREAS, on March 11, 2003, the Planning Commission of the City of Rosemount reviewed the Concept Residential Planned Unit Development for Centex Homes and adopted a motion to recommend approval, subject to conditions, to the City Council; and WHEREAS, on April 3, 2003, the City Council of the City of Rosemount reviewed the Concept Residential Planned Unit Development for Centex Homes, Inc. NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, the City Council of the City of Rosemount hereby approves the Concept Residential Planned Unit Development for Centex Homes, Inc., subject to: 1) The alignment of Connemara Trail impacts other properties beyond the west edge. Some flexibility may exist, however, the full impact will have to be verified, and the result may impact the number of dwelling units. As well, Connemara Trail will have to be constructed to a 40 mile - per -hour design speed. 2) Bacardi Avenue along the western edge might be severely restricted because of the convergence of many pipelines at the northwest corner of Bacardi Avenue and 135 Street West. 3) No variances to right -of -way or public /private street standards are recommended. 4) Pipeline easement restrictions may also prohibit the driveway encroachment of the southerly most Carriage Townhomes. 5) The Fire Code will require turn- arounds or looped connections at any shared driveway exceeding 150 feet. 6) The Park and Recreation Commission will evaluate the park, trails and connections and forward its recommendation to the City Council separately. 7) Common parking spaces should be provided at all of the attached housing units. 8) Sidewalks /Trails are required on both sides of the Collector Streets. 9) The Concept must be consistent with the Comprehensive Plan policies for the Urban Residential land use designation. For example, the average net density cannot exceed 5.8 dwelling units per acre without an amendment to the Comprehensive Plan. 10) Completion of the appropriate environmental review process as required by the Environment Quality Board (in this case, an Environmental Assessment Worksheet — EAW). 11) Concept approval does not guarantee densities or number of dwelling units or lots. RESOLUTION 2003- 3 8 12) The land designated for higher density housing will have to be rezoned. The 3 -4 unit buildings will have to be rezoned to R -2, Moderate Density Residential, and the 8 -10 unit buildings will have to be rezoned to R -3, Medium Density Residential. 13) No single - family lots narrower than 80 feet will be created except where clustering may preserve natural features or where the lot is deep enough to meet the minimum lot area in the R -1 residential district. No single - family lots shall be narrower than 70 fet. 14) The plan shall use creative methods to give sensitive, protective treatment to slopes, wetlands and wooded areas, for example, in the northwest corner of the site. 15) The plan shall have extensive landscaping, buffering and screening along the railroad tracks and along Connemara Trail.

Limited Subsurface Investigation, 155 - Acre Mi=ca Parcel, 1982 West 135th Street Rosemount, Minnesota In accordance with your authorization, Braun Intertec corporation has conducted a Limited Subsurface Tnvestigation at the above - referenced property. The objective of the Limited Subsurface Investigation was to determine if the property has been adversely impacted by dumping which has been reported at the Chicago Northwestern Railroad right -of- -way which is located adjacent and to the south of the Site. Braun Intertec recently completed a Phase I Environmental Site assessment (Phase T ESA) for Centex Homes at the property. The Phase I ESA is titled Phase 1 Environmental Site Assessment for Centex Homes, 155 Acre Parcel._ 7982 Wesi 135th Street, Rosemount, Minnesota, Braun Intertec project Number CMXX -03- '0308, Du ring the Phase I ESA, Dakota County File information was reviewed for information pertaining the Chicago Northwestern Railroad dump. According to the Dakota County File information, the type of disposal suspected at the railroad dump was listed as "unregulated municipal, commercial, or light industrial dump; MMSW, demolition & construction debris, other single or limited special wastes." The suspected railroad dump was listed with a ranking of "low priority" and was currently "open, " On August 27, 2003 a Braun Intertec environmental technician was on--site for the completion of 15 test pits along the southern border of the site near the reported Chicago Northwestern Railroad dump. The Lest pit were dug with a backhoe to an approximate depth of 10 feet below land surface. The Braun Interem environmental technician observed the excavation for the presence of stained soils and field screened soii samples collected from the test pits using a photoioniaation detector (PID) The PID is a field screening device which is calibrated to detect 'volatile organic vapors.

The attached PUD Analysis provided by Ed Hasek of Westwood Professional Services is the response that was received. Unfortunately, it was unavailable in time for inclusion in the Council agenda packet. Having reviewed the analysis, Staff feels it is appropriate to qualify some of the comments made. Required Provided / Requested Park Dedication 8 acres 24.5 acres The Parks and Recreation Commission is adhearing to a recommendation that would provide recreational facilities in this area in a manner consistent with the Parks Master Plan. While additional facilities might be desireable, the City needs to take into account the additional burden of maintaining additional land. Therefore, Staff supports the concept that the land in excess of the 8 acres of Park Dedication should be consideration of the PUD process and preferribly maintained by a homeowner's association. Required Provided / Requested 2. Open Space none 25.0 acres The 25 additional acres of open space being provided consists of Pipeline easements - (estimated by staffi 3.6 acres DNR Pond area below Ordinary high water elevation 8.51 acres Buffer area - (estimated by stafj) Stormwater pond Outlot / Pond D Total 3 acres 9.17 acres 24.28 acres Required Provided / Requested 4. Private Amenities none yes Centex / Minea PUD Analysis discussion Page 2. Westwood's comments seem to suggest that the City has no requirements for amenities. Staff's comment is that the developer provided amenities are part of the expectations of the PUD process. Since most of the land that is being offered in excess of the required park dedication is un- useable for development purposes, it does not seem unreasonable to expect Developer installed amenities, especially that which would enhance the higher density housing. Required Provided / Requested _ 8. Ponding Setback 150 ft. 120 -150 ft. Please see attached e -mail from Pat Lynch, DNR Area Hydrologist. Pat's memo indicates that DNR will not contest the setback averaging, but they are not advocating for it either. 9. Project Density (gross) 2.5 — 12un/ac 2.47 un /ac. overall Westwood comments about R -1, 2 and 3 densities. R -3 density is not an entitlement for this property. The higher density concentrated in the Carriage unit areas is a typical PUD trade - offwhich transfers density. Specifically, the space between the pipeline easement and Connemara Trail is intended to be the private open space that added to the townhouse area, keeps the overall density for that area within the Urban Residential Land -use category (6 unit per acre), consistent with the 2020 Comprehensive Plan. 12. Ponding / Infiltration ponding ponding /infiltration The City has been encouraging Ponding /Infiltration as it continues to examine the city -wide storm -water management needs. Infiltration will become a common feature of all new developments, and will also probably be introduced with redevelopment. A city that does not have any non - manmade storm -water outlets has to consider infiltration as a matter of course. EZ Westwood Professional Services, Inc.

CLOUD BRAINERD PUD ANALYSIS Following is a review of the conditions required of the proposal per City Ordinances, and those variations from the ordinances that are being requested by Centex Homes. Required Provided / Requested 1. Park Dedication 8.00 ac. 24.5 ac. The Park Commission has requested a total of 8 acres of park. Approximately 16 additional acres is being offered to the city adjacent to the land being accepted as park dedication. 2. Open Space none 25.0 ac. The Pubic Park space is being enhanced by a total of approximately 25 acres of additional open space that is being provided throughout the multiple family areas of the project. Uses will range from additional setbacks /buffering and screening, to open passive play fields, trails and walks, and structured open spaces for play and picnicking, etc. 3. Pedestrian System yes .7 miles additional Trails and or walks will be provided on public streets as requested. Approximately .7 miles of additional trails and walks will be provided within the multiple family areas of the site. These walks and trails will serve as access to dwelling, spatial definition, and pedestrian circulation for recreation. 4. Private Amenities none yes Beyond the open space, trails and walks, a picnic /gazebo structure is proposed central to the Georgetown /Carriage neighborhood. This area will also include accent flowerbeds and trees as focal features. 5. Landscaping /Screening yes yes The plantings along Connemara and Street A have both been bolstered by additional plant material to increase the physical and visual separation between passing traffic and residents. Additional trees have been included along the east side of the pond to increase separation and protect the wetland edge. 6. Tree Preservation none yes While the ordinances might allow the removal of all trees on the site as long as they were replaced, the tact taken through the design process has been dramatically different. Approximately 70% of the significant trees and associated understory vegetation on site has been preserved. The most significant area of preservation is Desianina the Future Today..since 1972 Page 2 of 3 September 2, 2003 Located at the location of the current Minea farmstead. This area will become a part of the City's Parkland and be available to all residents. 7. Wetland Buffer 75 ft. 75 ft. A 75 -foot buffer will be provided along the residential edge of the wetland. Lot line will extend to the wetland edge, and structures will be erected along the buffer edge to identify the wetland as a protected area. 8. Ponding Setback 150 ft. 120 -150ft. The required setback to the DNR wetland 19 — 12W is 150 feet. An adjustment to a minimum of 120 for two lots is requested to allow a building pad depth of 60 feet. This request is currently under consideration by the DNR. 9. Building Setbacks 30 ft. 25 -30 ft. A reduction in the front setback is requested to provide a more urban character to the Georgetown /Carriage neighborhood, and to allow flexibility in the single - family areas to provide the opportunity for varying garage orientations and street image. 10. Garage Size 440 sq.ft. 358 sq.ft. The size of the garages throughout the development will range greatly from the single - family homes to the Carriage Townhomes. The reduced garage size of 358 feet occurs only on the 58 Carriage Homes (15% of the total homes to be constructed), the most affordable home in the development. Larger garages and other features and options are offered in the Georgetown, Vineyard, and single - family homes. 11. Project Density (gross) 2.5 - 12un /ac 2.47 un /ac. overall The range of densities allowed under the R -1, R -2, And R -3 districts ranges from 2.5 to 12 units per acre respectively. The overall density of the development as proposed is 2.47 units per acre, which is slightly below the allowed density for the R -1 low- density single - family district alone. 12. Ponding / Infiltration ponding ponding /infiltration In addition to required storm water ponding, infiltration areas (yet to be adopted as a requirement by the City) have also been included in the development plans. The storm water management system provides for significantly more storage and infiltration than that currently required by the City and other agencies. 13. Siltation Reduction Devises yes yes Centex Homes has been pro- active in introducing new storm water sedimentation and infiltration technology to their developments. Newly developed erosion control risers that capture more silt are used in grass situations to allow sodding up the catch basins. In addition, sediment traps are installed below grade into all street catch basin during construction. These traps allow storm water to de -silt in the basin, can be easily cleaned, and are re- useable. 14. Transportation System yes yes Right of way and construction of two significant collect roadways will be provided through this development. In addition, the construction of a bridge ramp for the future construction of a bridge over the rail line for Connemara Trail will be provided. Beside the cost of construction, additional setbacks are necessary to allow for back - slopes for the ramp up to the bridge. Designing the future today... MIN N E A P O L I S S T. C L O U D Pearson,Rick From: Pat Lynch [pat.lynch @dnr. state. mn.us] Sent: Thursday, August 28, 2003 10:19 AM To: Pearson,Rick Cc: ed.hasek@westwoodps.com Subject:- DNR Wetland #19 -12W, Minea Property I recieved a preliminary drawing from Westwood relative to the proposed residential development adjacent to DNR Wetland #19 -12W, commonly referred to as the Minea property. I had previously reviewed an EAW for the project not long ago. The consultants have asked for DNR concurrence for relaxation of the structure setback standard for 3 lots that have, under the current layout, trouble meeting the 150' structure. As I understand it, they are interested in a setback of 120 feet (80% of the minimum required). If the city strictly adheres to the 75' wetland buffer, as proposed, and delineates it with corner markers indicating same, and the west side of the pond is not developed, the relaxation of the setback standard should not have a measurable impact on the wetland. I would expect that development on the balance of the lots would meet all required performance standards for lot size, width, setback, and impervious surface coverage. This would include decks off the side or rear of homes. DNR is generally not supportive of variances from shoreland standards for new plats. I hope we don't see something like this again anytime soon. I will let the city determine whether the requested setback relaxation for the 3 lots is acceptable or not, and I will respect the decision made.
