SUMMARY
On September 2, _2003, the Council tabled action on the Centex preliminary plat/PUD and rezonings for the
Minea property. Staff has met with the developer to further discuss the issues concerning park, street &
highway improvements and the other outstanding issues such as Architectural Standards. Attached, is an
expanded resolution that reflects the Council discussion at the previous meeting, as well as Staff's discussion
with Steve Ach of Centex.
The resolution now includes much of the Engineering recommendations in order to avoid attaching multiple and
lengthy memos as exhibits. It specifically addresses issues that the Developer requested specificity on at the
September 2 °d meeting, but it should be noted that it does reflect the Staff recommendations:
• A cash deposit for the Developers' share of County Road 38 improvements.
• The Developers' responsibility for the cost construction of Connemara Trail west of the Minea property.
• The Developers' responsibility for construction of the Bacardi street extension north of Connemara Trail
for Park, Fire Station and Water Tower access as well as the parking lot and grading for the park.
• Architectural standards will be provided by the Developer for the single - family homes.
Two additional items have been prepared by the developer to facilitate this review. Centex Homes has provided
narratives to describe a list of architectural features that will be provided for the single - family homes, as well as

a PUD Analysis intended to itemize the Developer contributions or provisions to the PUD. Staff would like to
qualify several items identified in the analysis ( #l, 2, 4, 6, 10 & 14). However, the impact of the concerns
would likely not result in any modification of the plans. The assertions made in the analysis represent the
perception of the developer in regard to his contribution. In response, Staff has also provided a list (below) for
comparison that identifies some additional considerations that characterize the heart of the PUD.
Developer Concessions / Provisions
30% of overall site for Open space (public /
private) including 8 acres park land dedication
City Variances / Concessions
Housing mix* o£ 60% Multiple Family
40% Single Family

developments would exceed 65% single family / 35%
multiple family without Comp Plan Amendment.
Connemara Trail Construction west of
Development.
Construction of Bacardi Ave. stub, and Park
parking lot.
Lot width variances: 70' min. instead of 80' lot min.
Lot depth and front yard setback reductions of five ft.
Cash deposit for share of County Rd. 38
Architectural Standards for Single Family
Housing. Private amenities (Gazebo &
Landscaping).

and extended buffer area for the DNR pond.
Garage size reductions for 58 "Carriage" units.
30 ft. setback variance (from J 50 ft. standard) for lots 39 &
40 from DNR pond.
CONCLUSION & RECOMMENDATION
Staff is satisfied that the Plan revisions reflect an acceptable PUD with conditions. With Council concurrence
relative to the disposition of these issues, Staff is recommending that the resolution be adopted that sets forth
conditions of PUD /Preliminary Plat approval. The next step is to assemble the PUD Agreement, which will
include exhibits covering the preliminary plat as well as architectural details /standards.
RECOMMENDED ACTION:
Motion to adopt a resolution approving the preliminary plat for Centex / Minea subject to conditions.
Motion to adopt an ordinance rezoning the Vineyards Homes lots 5, 6, 7, 8, Block 4 and Lots 53, 54, 55, 56,

RE: Minea Preliminary Plat Comments
Upon review of the Minea Preliminary Plat last revised on August 6, 2003 and received on
August 7, 2003, the Engineering Department offers the following comments:
1. 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.
Infiltration Requirements
2. 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.
3. 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
4. The proposed grading plan meets the water quality and rate control for the site, but this
may vary depending on dumpsite resolution.
Preliminary Plat
5. For Lots 35 -44, Block 4, rear lot lines should be extended to the NWL elevation.
6. The drainage and utility easement over the proposed watermain located between Lots 23,
G: /EngProj /3 51 / MineaPreliminaryPlatComments9 -10 -03
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.
7. For Lots 15 -35, Block 4 the drainage and utility easements should be revised to
accommodate the rear yard drainage swale
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.
9. The easement between Lots 2 -3, Block 10 shall be modified to 20 feet in width to
accommodate the proposed rear yard storm sewer.
10. For the proposed storm sewer from Street D to Pond C an easement encroachment
agreement with the gas company will be required.
11. All emergency over flows shall be located within a drainage and utility easement to avoid
homebuilders and /or homeowners from obstructing them.
12. For Lots 37 -41, Block 1, the drainage and utility easements shall be revised to
accommodate the rear yard swale and proposed storm sewer.
13. For Lots 16 -18, Block 1, the drainage and utility easements shall be revised to
accommodate the rear yard drainage.
14. 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 or the proposed
storm sewer alignment revised.
15. The easement width on Lots 26 -27, Block 1, should be increased to 20 feet to
accommodate the proposed storm sewer to Pond D.
16. 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 Connemara Trail
17. The easement for Lots 4 -5, Block 5 should be increased to 20 feet to accommodate the
proposed rear yard storm sewer.
18. 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
19. All emergency over flows will be required to have a minimum one -foot of free board
from adjacent house pads and low openings.
20. The final grading plan will require more detailed information for grading of the rear yard
area in Block 2 to accommodate positive drainage.
G: /EngProj /351 / MineaPreliminaryPlatComments9 -10 -03
21. Verify that contours from the Biscayne Pointe 4 th Addition match the as -built grading
plans from Probe Engineering.
22. Final grading plans will require the submittal of a complete erosion control and turf
restoration plan.
23.- 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.
24. 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.
25. 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.
26. 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.
27. 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.
28. 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.
29. 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.
30. The elevations 962, 964, and 968 contours should be revised on Lots 48 -49, Block 4 to tie
into existing contours.
31. Storm sewer catch basins should be incorporated into the low point of Street E at station
40 +96.
32. The contours illustrated for Street B should correspond to the vertical profile proposed for
Street B on sheet 8.
Utility Plan
33. For proposed lateral storm sewer within the Street A cul -de -sac, a separate outlet to Pond
D will be required from what is shown. No connections to the trunk storm sewer line will
be allowed.
34. Additional storm sewer should be proposed along the rear yards of Lots 22 -23 and Lot 33,
G: /EngProj/ 351 / MineaPre liminaryPlatComments9 -10 -03
Block 4 to intercept overland flow in the swale before discharging into Pond A.
Landscaping Plan
35. 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.
t ,
36. The landscaping and planting plan for Pond C and Pond D shall be forwarded to the City
for review and shall be consistent with City guidelines for shoreline vegetation and
stabilization.

From: Steve Ach
RE: Minea Planned Unit Development
Rick, we have put together a Product Positioning for the single family at the Minea property.
That information should be emailed to you this morning for your review. For the most part the
single family plans are still in product development stage; however, we have some elevations
that have a fair representation of what to expect. I will be able to provide some elevation
information at the meeting on Tuesday. For now the Product Positioning information will
have one elevation for your review.
The key elements for the architectural control can be highlighted by the following:
1. use of varying roof pitches
2. front porches with architectural columns
3. varying siding exposures with use of horizontal, vertical and shake siding
4. masonry accents with the use brick, stone and other similar materials
5. gable treatments with brackets and louvers
6, window accents with crossheads, shutters and other window detailing
7. customers have 15 colors to choose from for siding application
In addition to these architectural elements, it is anticipated we will have at least seven floor
plans for customers to choose from. Each floor plan will offer three elevations essentially
creating twenty seven elevations that will be offered within the neighborhood.
Centex will agree to a condition that will encourage diversity of floor plan and elevation
selection throughout the neighborhood. The specific language can read as follows:
"The same plan, elevation and primary exterior color shall not be repeated on adjacent
home sites, or homesites directly across from each other. Furthermore, in no case shall
there be more than two of the same plans within any of five successive homesites".
Please review this information and we can discuss for Tuesday's meeting.
9/10/2003 Confidential
CENTEX HOMES
Single Family Homes
Centex Single Family Homes is a demonstration of customer - focused architecture
that delivers eye - catching designs. The key objective was to create a neighborhood
that delivers street appeal.
The design effort produced seven single - family designs featuring distinctive
variations in elevations, floor plans, as well as garage locations. Stepped -back and
motor court garages combine with varying porch types to accentuate the streetscape. Traditional
architectural styles were drawn from the area's heritage.
The exterior character of these designs is influenced by traditional styles featuring details that
heighten individuality and character. This character is achieved by using varying roof pitches
(including hip elevations) on the front elevation, front porches with architectural columns, grilles in
upper sashes of front facing windows, varying siding exposures (i.e. horizontal, vertical and shake
siding), masonry accents, gable treatments (i.e. brackets and louvers), window crossheads, shutters,
etc.
To further enhance street appeal we will impose an "anti- monotony rule" limiting the distribution of
plans, elevations and color selections. The same plan, elevation and exterior color shall not be
repeated on adjacent home sites, or home sites directly across from each other. Furthermore, in no
case shall there be more than two of the same plans within any of five successive homesites.

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 (800 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.

RE: Minea EAW — Parks and Recreation Staff Response to Dakota County Soil
Water Conservation District Comment #1
Parks and Recreation Staff have spoken to Brian Watson of Dakota County Soil
Water Conservation District (DCSWC) and Curt Chatfield of the Dakota County Planning
Department regarding DCSWC's comment #1 regarding the Minea EAW.
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.

RE: Minea PUD Preliminary Plat Recommendations
At the July 28, 2003 Parks and Recreation Commission meeting, staff presented an updated
preliminary plat for the Minea property. 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 in the PUD Agreement should include the following:
0 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.

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 l) from Dakota County indicates that
County Road 38 is being considered as a potential 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.

RE: Minea Preliminary Plat Comments
Upon review of the Minea Preliminary Plat last revised on August 6, 2003 and received on
August 7, 2003, the Engineering Department offers the following comments:
General Comments
1. A cash escrow will be required for future reconstruction of County Road 38. 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 phase 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.doc
way for Street A will need to be modified to accommodate the installation of boulevard
trees.
5. 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
1. The proposed grading plan meets the water quality and rate control for the site, but this
may vary depending on dumpsite resolution.
Preliminary Plat
1. 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.
5. 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 Settings \Temporary Internet Fi1es \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.
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\minea08I8.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
C: \Documents and Settings\rwp \Local SettingsUemporary Internet Fi1es \OLK2\minea0818.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.

112 "Georgetown" units (14 x b 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.
A,ugust,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.

RE: 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
Front yard setback 30 feet 25 feet
5 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.

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.

Public Hearing: Minea Property /Centex Homes Preliminary Plat
This 155 -acre property is located south of 135 Street and east of Bacardi Avenue. 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
ones 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 on]y 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 Comlemara Trail, the railroad tracks, and CR 38. There could be _
additional landscape screening in the ga created by the pipeline easement at the railroad tracks.

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 carnage 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.

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.
