SUMMARY
Centex Homes is proposing a Planned Unit Development Amendment for the undeveloped portions of Bloomfield.
Centex proposes a housing type that functions on a 70 ft. wide lot with no setback reductions. The revision
accommodates the potential for a grade separated rail crossing as well as an at -grade crossing. The plan increases open
space as a trade —off for increases of single family and attached units.

Twin Homes 22 (11 buildings)
Carriage Homes 100 (25 quad buildings) 76 Mansion Homes (quads) 60%

Total Units 413 348* 18.6% overall
*estimate based upon conversion of 79 Patio Homes to 58 Single Family by Staff to reflect conditional approval.
PLANNING COMMISSION PUBLIC HEARING
The northerly property owner expressed his objection to the concept of grade separating the railroad crossing. There
were no other pertinent comments. The Commissioners were generally in support of the concept because of the
increased separation of the housing from the railroad tracks. The concept is superior to the approved PUD Concept
because it also increases the amount of open space along the outer edges of the development to mitigate the combined
effects of CSAH 42, the refinery as well as the railroad.
RECOMMENDED ACTION: Motion to adopt a resolution approving the Concept PUD Amendment
proposed by Centex Homes.

MEMORANDUM
TO: Rick Pearson, City Planner
FROM: Dan Schultz, Parks and Recreation Director
DATE: February 28, 2001
RE: Bloomfield Development - Centex Homes
At the January 22, 2001 Parks and Recreation Committee meeting, staff presented the new concept
plan for the Bloomfield Development on an informational basis only. Staff indicated that the new
concept plan provided for open space in addition to our current 8.7 acres park. Because there was
not a park plan available at that time, very little discussion took place. The concept plan calls for
413 units. The park dedication requirement for land is 14.10 acres. If the City chose full cash and
no land, the cash dedication would be $423,000.00: There is also the optj r mix of land and
cash:�m'
- -. .
The developer did provide a detailed park plan that was mailed to the committee members for their
review before the February 26, 2001 committee meeting. Staff did have numerous conversations
with the developer about the park plan. As a result of the discussions, two new concept plans were
brought to the meeting on the 26 h and reviewed by the committee.
After a lengthy discussion by the Committee, it was decided that the concept plan does offer an
opportunity to add some additional active recreation amenities. The Committee indicated they
would be willing to work with the developer on a revised park plan, which might include accepting
some additional land.
I do agree with the Committee's idea of the concept plan offering some new opportunities for park
development. However, it is my opinion that additional work is needed to come up with a suitable
park plan.
Pursuant due call and notice thereof, the Regular Meeting o e Planning Commission
was duly hel Tuesday, February 13, 2001. Chairpe Bill Droste called the
meeting to order a :32 p.m. with members Myro apper, Kim Shoe - Corrigan, and

Old Business: Centex Homes Concept PUP (Bloomfield)
On January 23, 2001, the Planning Commission conducted a public hearing for the
Centex proposal to amend the Bloomfield Planned Unit Development. Action on the
proposed amendment was tabled pending further information.
Mr. Pearson presented comparisons between the approved PUD for Bloomfield and the
revised concept plan. The concept plan was revised to accommodate the location for
Connemara Trail and to provide sufficient space if the railroad crossing becomes grade
separated. The housing mix was reviewed. The current proposal results in 18 less single
family homes, 1 less twinhome, and 2 additional quad buildings from Centex's original
proposal. Open space calculates at 18.37 acres of contiguous open space, excluding
ponds, wetlands, and railroad right -of -way. 70 foot lots (291) as compared to 80 foot
lots (272) result in an estimated 3 % increase in private open space and 4% reduction in
building mass. Due to the lot depth, separation from the railroad tracks exceeds the
minimum setback of 110 feet. The nearest quad unit is 460' from the tracks, and the
single family homes range from 220' -225' from the tracks.
Dwight Jelle of Westwood summarized the proposal for open space and park amenities.
Mr. Jelle clarified that Centex would commit to no reduction in open space or in multi-
family units, however, necessary revisions to the plan could result in a reduction in single
family dwellings.
Commissioner Shoe - Corrigan commented that preserving open space would maintain the
value of the homes.
Mr. Pearson further clarified the setbacks from the railroad tracks and the housing mix.

Chairperson Droste pointed out negative conditions affecting this development, including
Hwy. 42, the railroad, and Koch Refinery. He found the new design more appealing
because of the additional open space. He offered his approval of the new design, finding
it to be superior to the approved PUD.
Dan Blake of Centex Homes clarified that future changes to the plan as a result of the
Connemara Trail location and railroad crossing will not reduce the number of attached
homes or the amount of open space. Single family homes, however, may be reduced.
MOTION by Droste to recommend that the City Council approve the concept for Centex
Bloomfield subject to: 1) Adopting findings in support of the PUD concept plan as
required in Section 12.6 of the zoning ordinance; 2) Incorporation of recommendation by
the City consulting Engineer relative to drainage, easements, grading, rights -of -way,
streets, utilities, and all other applicable public infrastructure; 3) Recommendations
relative to park facilities and dedication will be made separately by the Parks and

in favor of additional housing units, and changes to the distribution of housing types will
only be changed if the proportion of single family increases. For clarification, there shall
be no reduction in open space and no increase in attached housing, although the number
of single family dwellings could be reduced; 5) Approvals or cooperation as needed by

Public Hearing: Centex Homes Concept PUD (Bloom field)
Chairperson Droste opened the public hearing on the application by Centex Homes for
approval of a revised concept plan for portions of Bloomfield. The recording secretary
has placed the Affidavit of Publication and Affidavit of Mailing and Posting of a Public
Hearing Notice on file with the City.
Mr. Pearson provided background of the Bloomfield master plan and summarized the
aspects of the proposed concept plan. The concept area consists of 309 single family
detached units, 92 quad townhome units, and 24 twin home units. The 80 -foot standard
lot width is reduced to 70 feet. The proposal includes park dedication of a 43 -acre green

space corridor as a trade off for the 70 -foot lots. However, the Parks & Recreation
Committee is interested in enhancing dedicated parks elsewhere and is not interested in
the 43 acre corridor dedication. Unresolved issues concern the extension of Connemara
Trail and the railroad crossing. Circumstances may require a change in the street location
and grade separation for the crossing, which would affect the development plans in the
northeast portions of the development. Approvals are required from the Met Council,
Union Pacific Railroad, and Dakota County. The developer has purchased
approximately 5%2 acres of railroad right -of -way, which will provide additional buffer
along the northern edge.
Chairperson Droste opened the floor to the applicant. Steve Ach of Centex Homes
provided corporate background information and summarized the current status of the
development.
Dwight Jelle of Westwood reviewed the development design. He suggested further
discussions on the open space issue and indicated the developer would present
alternatives to the proposal. Mr. Jelle reviewed the sidewalk and trail system, buffering
and landscaping along CSAH 42 and the railroad, streetscape designs, and housing styles.
He indicated that an overgrade railroad crossing would necessitate the redesign of the
plan to capture lost single family lots.
Chairperson Droste opened the public hearing
Craig Minea co -owner of 155 acres north of the Centex development, expressed his
opposition to the grade- separated railroad crossing. Mr. Minea explained that a 23 -foot
high bridge that bisects the center of a residential development would reduce the
development's desirability. Townhouses and apartments would be the only viable
residential use in this area. While the direct costs for a grade - separated crossing may be
considered less expensive, consideration must be given to the indirect costs of diminished
property values.
Chairperson Droste opened the floor to the Commissioners.
Commissioner Shoe - Corrigan requested clarification on changes in the number of
housing units. Mr. Pearson explained the housing distribution and indicated the unit
numbers are up about 7 -10 %. The housing mix ration for the original PUD was 56%
single family and 42.8 %attached, compared to the current proposal of 55.7% single
family and 44% attached.
Discussions continued concerning the amount of open space provided Mr. Pearson
explained the park was reduced to 8 acres. Because the Parks & Recreation Committee
sees limited potential in this area, it prefers the balance of the park dedication in cash to
create facilities elsewhere. Commissioner Weisensel confirmed that the trade -off for the
70' lots consists of 22 acres in open space.

Commissioner Shoe- Corrigan indicated an incentive must be present to support the 70-
foot lots and additional units and that she did not want to see a loss in open space. She
offered her support for this concept plan, but could not support an alternative concept
resulting from a change in the Connemara Trail alignment and the railroad crossing.
Mr. Jelle responded that the developer is willing to look at other concepts creating open
space. The proposed plan provides flexibility to allow for the bridge at the railroad
crossing.
Chairperson Droste observed that the concept proposal provided increased separation of
housing from the railroad compared to the approved PUD.
Commissioner Shoe - Corrigan expressed her concern that private open space be
preserved.
Discussions continued concerning the affordability of the homes and the type of
homeowner Centex would be marketing to.
MOTION by Droste to close the public hearing. Seconded by Weisensel. Ayes:
Droste, Shoe- Corrigan, Weisensel, and Napper. Nays: 0. Motion carried.
Commissioners discussed concerns that modifications to the concept plan to
accommodate a grade - separated railroad crossing would not result in an increase in
overall density from the approved concept plan or a reduction in open space. Mr.
Pearson was directed to revise staff recommendations to address Commissioners'
concerns.
MOTION by Weisensel to table action on the concept plan for Centex Bloomfield to
February 13, 2001. Seconded by Shoe- Corrigan. Ayes: Shoe - Corrigan, Weisensel,

Re: Preliminary Review of Bloomfield 2,.d Addition Street Issues
City of Rosemount Project No. 299
WSB Project No. 2012 -21
T~ This memo is intended to provide comments related to the sketch plan for the above referenced
F project with regard to street design. While we understand the plan is simply in sketch stage at
this point, we would like to note the following issues:
1. t>oilector Streets:
The extension of Bloomfield Path and future Aburn Avenue should be designed to
collector street standards, with a minimum 80 ft. right of way and 42 ft. street. The
extension of Bloomfield Path should mirror the design in Bloomfield first addition. The
south portion of Auburn Avenue was originally designed to include a median to the first
intersection. As long as the traffic issues are addressed, the median is not necessan
from our perspective.
2. Eyebrow Cul -de -sacs:
There are three eyebrow cul -de -sacs shown on the plan. While these eyebrows are
useful to accommodate the construction of additional lots, they do create maintenance
issues. We would prefer to see the installation of a standard cul -de -sac or an
elimination of the eyebrows completely.
3. Cul -de -sac Islands:
Every cul -de -sac in the plan is proposed with an island, which have been constructed in
the past with limited success. We did construct some cul -de -sacs with islands this past
year and need to check with public works on how the snowplowing worked. We would
r also like to have the landscaping maintained by a homeowners association. We prefer
to eliminate the cul -de -sac islands, however. if they are intended to remain in place they
will need to be designed to an acceptable standard.

4. Street Widths:
Street widths in the plan are difficult to discern but. appear to utilize the standards
identified for the Evermoor Project, which include a 28 ft. face-to-face street n - ith a
parking lane on one side. We have not discussed with the Council previously if this
was the new standard for streets in the City of Rosemount and would need to reN isit that
discussion prior to allowing the preliminary plat documents to move forward « this
design.
5. Horizontal Curves:
This project proposes to utilize many sharp corners throughout the layout of the lots.
While these appear attractive on paper they do create issues from the standpoint of
street maintenance, traffic visibility and on- street parking. We have previously
proposed the use of 30 MPH horizontal design curves and have made some exceptions
in certain situations. The proposed streets do not seem to meet any of those guidelines
at this stage.
6. Landscaping
In reviewing the landscaping plan, it appears that utilizing street plantings adjacent to
the curb is proposed on this project similar to the previous Evermoor Project. There
were some restrictions that were identified to allow that type of planting to occur on the
Evermoor Project and we would need to discuss that issue in greater detail with this
project before proceeding. Further, the landscaping plan identifies heavy planting on
the street corners, which appear to impede sight lines, and would need to be revised to
accommodate our corner sight line restrictions..
7. Auburn AvenueICSAH 42 Intersection:
The location of the future Auburn Avenue connection to CSAH 42 is proposed at a
different location than was originally approved by Dakota County. This would need to
be revisited for acceptance by the County.
8. Connemara Trail
The potential Connemara trail overpass is in the process of being evaluated by the City
Council. The proposed height and resulting sloping onto the Bloomfield 2nd Addition
will need to be analyzed, along with the location of the crossing point of the railroad
tracks. This will involve some coordination with property owners on both sides of the
tracks.

SUMMARY
Centex Homes has revised their proposed Planned Unit Development Amendment for the undeveloped portions
of Bloomfield. The revision accomodates the potential for a grade separated rail crossing as well as an at -grade
crossing. The end result is a reduction in the number of units.
Revised PUD Amendment Original Pmposal CMC PUD as approved
Single Family 291 (70' lots) 309 272 (staff estimate)*
Twin Homes 22 (11 buildings) 24 (12 buildings)
Carriage Homes 100 (25 quad buildings) 92 (quad units) 76 Mansion Homes (quads)
Total Units 413 425 348*
*estimate based upon conversion of 79 Patio Homes to 58. Single Family by Staff to reflect conditional approval
The primary issue is still whether the Developer should be able to proceed with a 70 foot wide lot instead of the
standard 80 ft. The trade -off is 34 acres of open space that could become a green space corridor which could
accommodate a trail link to CSAH 42.
On January 23, the Public Hearing was closed, and therefore, unless the concept was dramatically revised the
Planning Commission should be able to discuss the recommendation and a motion. The attached memo details
the revised amendment, breaks down the open space and attempts to respond to the concerns previously
identified by the Planning Commission.
RECOMMENDED ACTION:
Motion to recommend that the City Council approve the concept for Centex Bloomfield subject to:
1. Adopting findings in support of the PUD concept plan as required in Section 12.6 of the zoning
ordinance.
2. Incorporation of recommendations by the City consulting Engineer relative to drainage,. easements,
grading, rights -of -way, streets, utilities, and all other applicable public infrastructure.
3. Recommendations relative to park facilities and dedication will be made separately by the Parks and
Recreation Committee.
4. The proportion of housing units to open space shall not change in favor of additional housing units, and
changes to the distribution of housing types will only be changed if the proportion of single. family
increases.
5. Approvals or cooperation as needed by Dakota County,lietropolitan Council and the Union Pacific
Railroad.
PLANNING COMMISSION ACTION:
MEMORANDUDI
TO: Planning Commission
FROM: Rick Pearson, City Planner
DATE: February 7, 2001
RE: February 13,'2001 Regular Reviews — Centex Revised PUD Amendment for
Bloomfield
BACKGROUND
On January 23, 2001, the Planning Commission conducted a public hearing for the Centex
proposal for an amendment to the Bloomfield Planned Unit Development. The amendment was
based upon Centex' 70 foot wide single - family lot design and open space presented as a trade -
off.
PUBLIC - HEARING
Participation in the public hearing was limited to one adjacent property owner north of the
railroad tracks, the Developer and his consulting Engineer. The Planning Commission
expressed their concerns relative to the concept and provided staff direction to prepare a more
detailed analysis of the open space relationships and recommendation. Those concerns are:
• The open space provided as an incentive for the 70' wide lots should be quantified, and that
space occupied by wetlands or otherwise required should be removed from the calculation.
• The separation of housing from the railroad should be comparedbetwe _ .. cone t
es. p _
• The open space should not be reduced in the event of plan modification or refinements.
• Density should not be allowed to increase at the expense of open space as a result of plan
modifications.
PLAN REVISION
The Plan has been revised in response to the Connemara Trail issues. The right -of -way
locations have been shifted to the locations identified by Staff along the rail road right -of -way
and the eastern boundary line. The street pattern has changed in this area resulting in large loop
cul -de -sacs. v
OPEN SPACE COMPARISON AND ASSESSMENT
For the purposes of making this comparison, the 8.78 acres already dedicated for a neighborhood
park have been subtracted.
Proposed Concept as Revised Approved PUD
18.37 acres of contiguous open space 3 acres (estimated)
10.68 acres of ponds /wetlands 8 acres of ponds /wetlands
3.83 acres railroad buffer easement Existing railroad right -of -way
L55 acres Private open space none
36.56 total acres of open space 11 total acres of open space
The concept as amended exhibits a 18.6 % increase in housing units overall from the approved
PUD and the contiguous open space excluding park and wetlands has been increased 8.8 %
Proposed Concept as revised Percent change Approved PUD
291 Single Family (70') lots 7% increase 272 Single Family (80') lots*
122 Attached (Quad & Twin homes) 60% increase 76 Mansion Homes*
* The Patio Homes included in the Concept were not approved and therefore, the s. f
numbers were increased accordingly.
The open space areas have been redrawn to show additional park facilities, in response to Park
Recreation Committee discussions concerning a general need for additional active play fields.
The Park and Recreation Committee will examine the concept and make a separate
recommendation to the City Council concerning the disposition of Park facilities and amount of
land dedication.
RAILROAD SEPARATION/MITIGATION
Typical railroad right -of -way (ROW) is 100 feet wide with the tracks in the middle. The ROW
along much of the northern edge of the development is over 300 feet wide, which was possibly
used for mining material to construct the high railroad embankment in this area. The Centex
concept includes purchasing the additional or excess ROW, which is indicated above as 3.83
acres of railroad buffer.
Centex Housing Separation from RR Tracks Approved PUD RR Separation
460 ft. from nearest Carriage (quad) units 230 ft. from Mansion Homes
110 ft.+ from nearest Single Family units 110 ft. + from 6 s. f. units lots
(12) 240 -250 ft. deep lots* (6) 200 ft arxdt6) 220 ft. deep lots --q`l -
* Given the depth of the lots, the separation is based upon minimum setrtiacks but will
likely be increased because of the excessive lot depth. For example, a 240 ft. deep lot
may have 160 feet of rear yard depth
The proposed purchase of railroad ROW gives the Developer control of the space for screening,
and density calculation. Staff would recommend excluding the 3.83 acres from the comparisons
because they do not own the property now.
RECOMMENDATION
Motion to recommend that the City Council approve the PUD Concept Amendment requested by
Centex for Bloomfield subject to:
1. Adopting findings in support of the PUD concept as required in Section 12.6 of the
zoning ordinance (attached)
2. Incorporation of recommendations by the City consulting Engineer relative to drainage,
easements, grading, rights -of -way, streets, utilities and all applicable public
infrastructure.
3. Recommendations relative to park facilities and dedication will be made separately by the
Parks and Recreation Committee.
4. The proportion of housing units to open space shall not change in favor of additional
housing units, and changes in the distribution of housing types will only be changed if the
proportion of single family increases.
5. Approvals or cooperation as needed by Dakota County, Met Council and U.P. Railroad.

As put of our application, we have submitted a comparison of Centex's concept Flan to CMC Heartland's apptuvrd
concept plan. \% believe the comparison points our several advantages that Centex's plan has over the approved concept
plan. In addition to the attributes of the physical phA there are advantages Centex Homes can bring to the Bloomfielld
neighborhood that the City will find beneficial. - -_
Neighborhood-Are-biwtture ,
• Centex sill offer 7 to 8 single family floor plans all having 2 to 3 elevation choices.
• Each elevation will offer options for brick or stone to supplement standard elevation materials.
• Centex inrerraa ycontrols the mix of floor plans and elevation choices to make sure: the neighbor - is comple-.ed
with a balanced mix of plans.
• Siaglc family floor plans are designed in a from to back orientation. Therefore, patio doors or expansion
opportunities do not exist on the side of the home eliminating any We of request for side yard variances that the
City may have experienced wirh other 70' wide lots.
• Separation between single family structures •vill be a minimum of 20' the sax as 80' wide lots would provide.
Therefore, along the sweet frontage 70' wide lots will provide more open space.
Sale Price
• The price of all' the proposed produce is indicated in the neighborhood booklet. It should be pointed out that in a
nearby neighborhood, the model home in the Paradc of Homes book is listed at $197,960.00 wkh others starting at
5260,000. In the short time Centex has been selling in Bloomfield, our average sale price of singe family homes s
5240,000.00. We believe this price point will increase throughout the remaining phases of Bloom= eld.
Self Regulating
• Protective cove are recorded against each homeshe in the neighborhood to make sure the iatcgriry of the
neighborhood is maintained Items such as storage sheds, over night parking in clriveways, placement of recreatiomd
vehicles and la. ^.dscaping of yards are all covered.
• Since Centex wad be responsible for building and selling on every homesite, careful review his been given to rEe
development design to make each homesite vmrks for Centex
• Provide disclor --e to our customer about plans for Bloomfield and surrouncling properties (Le. bridge crossing
railroad tracks).
Advantages for the City
• The higher sales price for single family homes will generate addition taxes.
• With higher home values on 70' wide lots, the ary generates more tares per tun. l foot of sneer.

February 6, 2001
X1003/003
• The budding inspections deparunent will .become familiar with the 7 to 8 single- Eat*floor plans and requires .less
time for review but the same amount of permit fees for the city. This allows to inspectors more time in the field
doing actual inspections and less time reviewing plans
• Centex has a field .manager oor c that schedules all home corst=ion ac&kz This predetermined scheduling
process assists the city inspectors so they know their workload vwl in advance o_ a building pewit being submitted
• Centex will build homes on a consistent schedule that has an 'even flow?. This :gain can help the city manage their
personnel needs based on a consistent development schedule.
LastIN since purchasing Phase I and Phase II from CMC Heartland and obtaining an option to purchase the balance of
the site if certain city approvals are obtained, Centex Homes has performed the folio sing:
• Replaced all bonds and letter of credits with the Cny of Rosemount that (b:C -% re responsible in providing.
• Paid off all special assessments that were past due in excess of a million dollars.
• Paid Cuy Attorney legal fees that were past due.
• Worked out an agreement with the Gity contractor for Phase II mars.
• Completed all required landscaping around the 6 b L,r
• At the request of the city and county corrected in erosion problem along Couar) 42.
• Submitted a final plat for -the twin homes in Phase II and plan on commer cirg construction immediately in the,
• Have sold all existing CMC single familyhomes and 15 Centex single fam- 2yho=es.
In closing, Centex Homes is requesting the Cary Council's support of am amc::dme:.: to the concept plan for Bloomf`sela
We believc the plan meets several of the Civ/s goals and creates a better •ncisrborhood' than the concept plan
p.- evio;isly approved. We look forward to discussing the plan wi h you at your February 20ch meeting. If there are any
quemns in advance of the meeting, please do not hesitate to co— me so �e appropriate infortnarion can be

RE: Bloomfield Phase )l Park Proposal
Dear Dan,
The concept plan that has been approved by the Planning Corr.mi:;sion and will be presented to
the City Council on March o� has a variety of park and recreation opportunities. The plan focuses
on preserving 45 acres of diverse open space that can be enjoyed by the p for many years to
come. Centex Homes and Westwood Professional Services have assembled this conservation
plan in a manner that wou =alkow --the Park -Board and City CO Ua [ to continue the open space
further east with future deeveldoftnts as well connecting with the University of Minnesota
property to the southeast. Centex Homes fully recognizes that the Park Board will find it difficult
to give full park credit'fo the land dedication shown in our plan. Therefore, the park dedication
proposal is to include a combination of land, cash and some immeciate improvements to the park
system. However, to set a basis for our proposal the following is the calculation for the required
dedication based on our czrrent plan:
Required Park Dedication Per City Ordinance -
• 413 units X.04 aeresr unit = 16.52 acres
• Less 2.42 acres (credit from Phase 1)
• 14.10 acres required land dedication
or
14.10 acres X $30,0001acre = $423,000
The entire "package" Centex Homes would provide the City includes the following:
• Dedicate 34.66 acres of useable open space along with 2.86 acres of wetland and 7.82 acres
of ponding area (total acres 45.34)
• Grading and seed the entire park area (valued at $434,000.00)
• Construct all trails in the park (valued at $75,500.00)
• Install playground equipment (valued at $30,000.00)
• Install landscaping along trail corridor and in other areas of park (valued at $20,000.00)
• Pay cash dedication of $93,000.00

RE: Centex Revised Planned Unit Development Concept for Bloomfield
January 23, 2001 Regular Meeting Reviews
CITY HALL
2875 – 145th Street West
— Rosemount, MN
55068 -4997
Phone: 651423 -4411
Hearing Impaired 651423 -6219
Fax: 651423 -5203
BACKGROUND
The Bloomfield development consists of approximately 232 acres of land north of 145E Street
West and CSAH 42, east of the Dakota County Maintenance garage, and south of the Union
Pacific Railroad tracks. It extends up to %2 mile west of Akron Avenue. 53 acres has been
platted and is in various stages of construction. Centex Homes of Minnesota has purchased much
of the remaining undeveloped land in Bloomfield from CMC Heartland and has options on the
balance.
FIRST PHASE
Started by CMC, Centex has indicated that the 53 acre first phase will be completed a manner
consistent with the PUD. Lots are platted, and new building construction will "fit" the existing
lots. Because Centex is a different builder, some of the new construction will be slightly
different, but is required to conform with PUD requirements or request an amendment to the
PUD. The first phase includes:
• 120 townhouse units distributed in 20 six -unit buildings (two buildings completed).
• 27 single family houses (five units are occupied).
• 10 twin home units (one under construction).
• Approximately 8 acres for park development.
SECOND PHASE
This phase finishes the twin homes with 20 units distributed between ten buildings. The single
family component originally included by CMC is part of the concept revision requested by
Centex.
CONCEPT
The third and future phases consisting of the remaining 179 acres will be arranged as follows:
• 309 single family detached lots.
0 92 s. f. attached quad units (23 buildings).
• 24 twin home units (12 buildings).
Centex PUD Concept Review — Jan 23, 2001
Page 2.
• 43 acres (24% of the 179 acres) of open space in the form of a corridor that connects the
mitigated wetland area east of the park to the southeast comer of the site that lends itself as a
storm water ponding area.
The ability to create the corridor is a trade -off for a single family housing style that utilizes a 70
foot wide lot. This is a ten foot lot width reduction from the standard 80 ft. wide lot. However,
the design concentrates a "front to rear" orientation with few side windows that allows the
standard ten foot side -yard setback. Visually, the homes will maintain the combined twenty foot
gaps between the housing units.
Overall, the concept is dominated by the single - family (detached) lots which comprises 73% of
the new housing units. The quad and twin homes are in the interior of the development,
generally in the location previously earmarked for "Mansion Homes ".
STREET DESIGN
Bloomfield Path (a collector street) extends east to connect with a north/South collector street
with access to CSAH 42, which will become Auburn Avenue. Auburn Avenue extends north
from CSAH 42 to Connemara Trail which will cross the Union Pacific railroad tracks and
(ultimately) connect to Akron Avenue %z mile to the east in a 140' alignment. All other
streets in the concept are local streets for driveway access.
The Developer has already revised the concept in response to previously identified Staff concerns
about intersection alignment and frequency. The streets on the west half of the concept area are
essentially the same as the original second phase, south of Bloomfield Path.
STREET ISSUES
1. The railroad crossing may have to be grade separated. If the City Council determines that
this is the case, then the northeastern portion of the concept will have to be revised to allow
for increased right -of -way (ROW) widths needed for a bridge approach. As well,
intersections would have to be shifted farther to the southeast to allow for the grade change
and "touch- down" location. Housing in this area would also have to respond to the new land
form.. The Developer's reaction may be to request higher densities to concentrate the
housing.
2. Various topographic and collector street design considerations may require that the center of
Connemara Avenue enter to property further west along the railroad ROW (approximately
1,075 feet west of the northeast corner) and further south along the eastern boundary
(approximately 1,250 feet south of the northeast comer).
3. The Union Pacific Railroad would have to permit the crossing of the railroad ROW.
4. Parts of Auburn Ave. and an east -west local street are proposed to be located on the
Metropolitan Council Environmental Services (N 4CES) easement for the sanitary sewer
interceptor. MCES would have to be involved in the approval process for those streets.
Centex PUD Concept Review —Jan. 23, 2001
Page 3.
5. Dakota County will have to approve of the Auburn Avenue connection to CSAH 42.
6. The "double" cul -de -sac in the northeast comer of the development should be redesigned.
The pipeline easement may preclude the cul -de -sac design.
LOT AND OPEN SPACE CONSIDERATIONS
The central issue is to allow 70 ft. wide lots in return for 43 acres of open space. The open space
has potential for supporting elements of a green space corridor identified in the 2020
Comprehensive Plan which would align with CSAH 42 and the University of Minnesota
Outreach, Research and Education Park. This corridor would not necessarily become parkland.
The corridor could be homeowner association owned and maintained with a trail easement for
the public function of the corridor. The Park and Recreation Committee will be examining the
concept and making a separate recommendation to the City Council.
The houses are intended to fit on the 70 ft. , %ide lots and meet the standard setbacks. Staff
emphasized to the Developer than no side -yard setback variances would likely be granted,
especially for design oversights such as side- located sliding doors. Further consideration might
include ten -foot side -yard setbacks for driveways, garages and surface parking.
The concept appears to include additional lot depth where it wouid be required along AH 42,
the railroad ROW and Collector streets. There are two lots that traverse the pipeline that may be
incapable of house construction.
FINDINGS FOR PLANNED UNIT DEVELOPMENT
In approving the concept plan, the Planning Commission must find as follows and forward its
findings to the City Council:
l.' The Plan provides sufficient open space and evidences a substantial preservation of
natural features to warrant the granting of variances through Planned Unit Development.
The proposed 43 acres of open space ivould be a created amenity that is intended to
support this finding. The land will have to be graded and landscaped so that it will
ultimately have a natural appearance. However, there are currently no significant
natural features that need preservation, other than depressions that will accommodate
storm water ponding needs.
2. The Plan complies with the intent of the Comprehensive Guide Plan.
The property is designated for Urban Residential use in the 2020 Comprehensive Plan.
3. The proposed development will not be detrimental to surrounding properties.
The property is isolated from surrounding properties by CSAH 42 and the Union Pacific
Railroad. The land to the east is an undeveloped farmstead that will be a future urban
growth area.
4. The Plan is more creative and will proN ide a better living, working or shopping
environment than is possible under strict ordinance requirements.
Centex PUD Concept Review- Jan. 23, 2001
Page 4.
The qualitative judgment of a "better living environment" should be based upon the
relative benefit. the open space /condor would provide to the City and the development in
particular, in contrast to 80 foot wide lots and no more open space than the
neighborhood park.
RECOMMENDATION
Motion to recommend that the City Council approve the revised concept for Centex Bloomfield
subject to:
1. Adopting findings in support of the PUD concept plan as required in Section 12.6 of the
zoning ordinance (and suggested above).
2." Modification of the plan as necessary to accommodate a grade separated rail crossing as
directed by the City Council
�• Location and design of all drainage, grading, utilities, streets, right -of -way and all other
applicable public infrastructure shall incorporate recommendations by the acting City
Engineer.
4. Approvals or cooperation as needed by applicable agencies or affected property owners
including: Dakota County, Metropolitan Council and the Union Pacific Railroad.
