Vermillion Crossing Concept Plan (UMore)4ROSEMOUNTEXECUTIVE SUMMARY PARKS AND RECREATION COMMISSION Parks and Recreation Commission Meeting: December 17, 2018 ISSUE The Parks and Recreation Department recently received a concept plat for a portion the UMore property that is being proposed for development by the Newland Land Acquisition LLC. The property is 435 acres in size and is located south of County Road 42 and west of Akron Avenue. The development will consist of a variety of homes types that will total approximately 1,556 units. After reviewing the concept plan, the Parks and Recreation Department staff has the following comments: Public Parks The City's 2040 Parks, Trails and Open Space Master Plan has identified a minimum of two neighborhood parks and possibly a third park based on development plans and housing densities. The concept plan has not yet identified where the public parks might be located and staff urges the developer to incorporate the future public parks into the plans as soon as possible as to avoid future conflicts with development plans. Staff expects the total acreage of the city owned neighborhood type parks would be approximately 20 acres. Staff expects that there will be a neighborhood playfield on the west side of the Akron Avenue and a neighborhood park on the east side of Akron Avenue. Private Parks and Recreation Staff is interested in seeing the locations of the private parks and hearing how they will be operated. Staff feels that coordinating the public and private recreation opportunities will better serve our future residents. Parks Dedication The parks dedication for this development is expected to be a combination of cash and land. Because the details about housing mix and what size the parks will be, has not yet been decided on, a parks dedication calculation has not yet been created. The University of Minnesota pre -dedicated twenty-seven acres of land to the City in 2010 and has the ability to use the Land Area Credit for thirty percent (or such greater percentage as the parties may agree) of the land dedication requirement in any subdivision (unless a lower percentage is agreed to by University), until the Land Area Credit is exhausted. The University of Minnesota should identify which future developments will have access to using the credits they currently have with the City.

The University of Minnesota pre -dedicated twenty-seven acres of land to the City in 2010 and has the ability to use the Land Area Credit for thirty percent (or such greater percentage as the parties may agree) of the land dedication requirement in any subdivision (unless a lower percentage is agreed to by University), until the Land Area Credit is exhausted. The University of Minnesota should identify which future developments will have access to using the credits they currently have with the City. Trails and Sidewalks The standards for trails and sidewalks include having a five foot sidewalk on one side of all residential streets and eight foot trails on both sides of collector roads and county roads. Regional Greenway Trails are ten feet wide. Staff feels the plans shown in the narrative are for the most part consistent with how we would place trails and sidewalks except for the road that is colored green. Staff would suggest a trail on both sides of that road. Staff would also suggest looking for a location to place an underpass near the UMore Ballfields to assist people crossing Akron Avenue to get to the park. Regional Trail/Greenway The Vermillion Highlands Greenway plan identifies the greenway crossing in the southeast area of the proposed concept plan. Staff is recommending that the developer, city staff and county staff continue to work together to place the greenway trail in a location that works with the future residential development plans and also offers the future greenway trail users a positive recreation experience. City staff initially feels that locating the greenway trail to the east side of the development should work to accomplish these two items. Staff would like for the Commission to discuss the concept plan for the Vermillion Crossing development.

Submittal Request PUD Concept Plan review 6. Vermillion Crossing Development Narrative and Proposal This concept plan proposal has been designed to create an innovative community that reaches beyond typical housing developments. This is accomplished in part by working with the topography to reduce grading impacts and allocating enough area for storm water treatment. The overall design focuses on meaningful natural open spaces and winding connections that meet at all gathering places throughout the community and greater Rosemount. Newland's intention is to preliminary plat the entire site and then to final plat sections in phases. While others refer to the entire 435 acres as the first phase of Vermillion Crossing (UMore), in this proposal when there is reference to phases, it is referring to a portion of this 435 acre site. For reasons that will become apparent, what we are proposing is not necessarily consistent with the current zoning ordinance for residential development. However, we are incorporating the newest and most successful products from both our local region, as well as other parts of the country, to exemplify a wider variety of housing types that can cohesively exist. This also means that we are requesting your feedback, prior to our commencing the work of preparing a preliminary plat application. We hope that you share in our excitement for this proposed community. We look forward to hearing comments. 7. Highlights of the Concept There are a number of unique features of this concept proposal. They are described in detail throughout this narrative and summarized below: • Creating a vibrant, connected community that will attract a wide -range of home buyers. • Welcome/Fitness Center in the first phase. • Outdoor pool/clubhouse in the second phase. • Incorporating the regional trail system as part of the community trail system and expanding it with a significant neighborhood trail system to provide healthy living practices for Rosemount. • 30% of the site will be open space. This open space is meant to provide meaningful experiences for family and friends. • Showcasing the newest housing products from the region that bring innovation and ingenuity to the market. • There will be a variety of housing products by both national and local builders. • Working with Dakota County Technical College (DCTC) and the University to create new partnerships that introduce education, entrepreneurship and healthy living. • Designing unique recreational opportunities to create unique interaction of places and people at work and at play. • Reducing dependency on cars once the commercial/retail component is built -out, since many day-to-day services will be onsite. 8. Current Zoning and Guiding The property is currently guided in the 2030 Comprehensive Plan as Agricultural Research and zoned as Agricultural. The proposed amendment to the 2030 comprehensive Plan uses the following designations for this property which this site has been designed to: Community Commercial High Density Residential Medium Density Residential Low Density Residential 9. Existing Conditions and Topography One of our first steps was to have Applied Ecological Services do an ecological inventory of the site (figure 1). This property is primarily farm fields with some rolling terrain and tree lined areas. It was determined that many of the existing treed areas are made up of noxious or scrub. There are three wetlands with an aggregate area of 1.94 acres. The site has numerous sandy loams and currently maintains infiltration. There is about 38 feet of elevation change on the site. The groundwater is about 60 to 70 feet below the surface. As shown in figure 2, the highest elevation of 950 is on the west side of the site, near where Dakota Aggregate is currently mining. The low point of 912 is north of the high point and is near the existing lift station along County Road 42. The property contains two drainage ways that generally run from the northwest to the southeast. For most of the site, the soils are well drained or better.

Wetlands A wetland inventory and delineation has been completed and approved. There are three wetlands on the property with an aggregate size of 1.94 acres. There is a Type 1, Type 4 and Type 6. It is not believed any of the wetlands are under federal jurisdiction. It is believed that these wetlands will require buffers of 30 feet or less. 11. Woodland/Forest Restoration area While the site is primarily agricultural and does not contain any specimen wooded areas, it does contain attractive stands of trees. We have attempted to strategically preserve certain stands as well as to restore these areas. In addition, an extensive landscape plan will be integrated into the overall community plan. Woodland/Forest Restoration Process i. Remove existing buckthorn and honeysuckle found on the site through forestry mowing areas accessible by equipment and by cutting, treating and either burning on site or chipping and removing from the site. ii. Following first removal phase, the site will be left alone with the hope and expectation that the native ground story will re -sprout. iii. After one growing season, woodland areas will be evaluated and treated with a foliar herbicide application. Care will be taken not to damage any existing or re -sprouting native understory vegetation. iv. Depending on the amount of understory growth certain areas may be left alone and other areas may be lightly forestry mowed. Forestry mowing will occur in late -fall, early winter to avoid rutting and damage to existing vegetation. V. After forestry mowing the woodland areas will be seeded with a native woodland seed mix to create competition to retard future buckthorn re -growth. vi. Woodland areas will be maintained for another year through a combination of site monitoring, spot herbicide treatments to control undesirable seed species, and spot mowing. 12. Proposed Lot Standards and Residential Imagery As we discussed at the workshop with the Council, Planning Commission and City Staff, our goal is to design a community that is dynamic, innovative and walkable. A major factor in today's housing market is affordability. To create a successful diverse community, it is necessary to have products that attract and serve all age groups from active adult to young families and Millennials, since they are now the largest segment of the home buying demographic and comprise about 35% of the market. A part of our strategy is to look at successful communities both locally and from other parts of the country and to adopt the more successful elements. As a result, we feel we are responding to the everchanging families' needs with the following product mix. Product Type Lot Width Lot Depth Side Yard Setback Number of Units Alley Loaded Detached TH 28 ft 110 ft 4ft/4ft 177 Row Townhomes (*) 24 ft 55 ft 10 feet on ends 347 Zero Lot Line Villas -Alley Loaded 37 ft 100 ft 5 ft/10 ft 180 Bungalows - Alley Loaded 41 ft 102 ft 5 ft/10 ft 212 Cottages - Single Family 55 ft 145 ft 5 ft/10 ft 222 Standard Single Family 65 ft 110 ft 5 ft/10 ft 166 Custom Single Family 80 ft 145 ft 5 ft/10 ft 52 (*) 4, 5 & 6 units per building Total 1356 What follows are builder examples of these various products. It is important to remember that builders for this community have not been selected. No inference should be drawn from the illustrative products shown as to who the builders in Vermillion Crossing will be. The products shown were selected because we believe they are good examples of why Newland believes small lots can be part of an attractive neighborhood that creates a diverse, interactive and walkable community. 28 FT W I DE LOTS- DAVID W EEKLEY-ARBOR LAKES so Garman Homes - 26' & 32' - Alley Load - Wendell Falls — Raleigh, NC M 24' wide ATTACHED PRODUCT— Pulte Homes - Prior Lake & Chaska Zero Lot line — 37' wide detached — Denver Homes by Dickerson - 40' Alley Load — Briar Chapel, Raleigh, NC 41' wide Bungalow — Alley Loaded — David Weekley — Arbor Lakes - �.

Typical Street/ROW Considerations At the October 9th work session, we shared many examples of narrow street design that have been successful in northern climates. We are proposing in many instances streets that are narrower than current City street standards, but not as narrow as were shown to you at the work session. The benefits to a narrower street are: • Less impervious surface and runoff, • Less road surface for the City to maintain in the future, • Traffic calming. It is documented that people tend to drive to the design speed of a road as opposed to the posted speed. Additionally, as we have all read about driverless cars, there has been considerable discussion about the impact on traffic and road design. A narrower road means that if streets are vacated or reduced in size, there is less area that needs to be repurposed. It is important to note the development team is relying on it's expertise and experience in proposing a variety of road widths throughout this community. The planners previously showed roads much narrower than what is currently being proposed. We are proposing roads that are wider than many of the narrowest roadways in several of our local award winning, master planned communities. ARTERIAL STREET SYSTEM We have been working with the county and city staff so that the street system for Vermillion Crossing connects with the overall UMore arterial street system envisioned by the city and county. Below is a diagram showing how our proposed road system aligns with the overall arterial street system. This diagram shows the arterial streets connecting with CR 42 and Biscayne at the points that are shown on the city's comprehensive plan. As part of the approval process, Newland will dedicate it's portion of the right-of-way for the arterial roads that are on it's property. It is expected that as we proceed through the approval process, the arterial street system may be further refined.

Recognizing, the City's need, we are proposing two sets of community collector roadways. The 80 foot right of way would be where we have higher speeds. There would be no parking, with a center turn lane and sidewalk/trailway on either side.

It would not have a center turn lane but would allow for parking on one side and again a sidewalk/trailway on either side.

What distinguishes them is whether there is parking on one side or both. The 60 foot right of way is very similar to the Rosemount street standards. These streets have parking on both sides along with a sidewalk on one side. The drive lanes are slightly narrower, which will calm traffic, but provide more than adequate travel lanes. R 01h ROW 00 -I 60' RIGHT OF WAY (TWO SIDE PARKING) The majority of neighborhood streets have a 54 foot right of way as shown below. Parking is limited to one -side, but the travel lanes are still more than adequate and there is a sidewalk on one side. What we have learned is if we go narrower, when there is an isolated car parked, traffic will work around it, but when there is a row of parked cars it is difficult for through traffic. This design addresses these concerns.

This can get very expensive and could make this product cost prohibitive. In order to make this feasible, we are proposing a crown down the center of the alley that will cause storm water to sheet drain to the side. This design eliminates curbs and storm sewer drainage. This design has been successfully used in urban areas for years.

Sewer and Water Sewer and water services are available along County Road 42 and are appropriately sized. 15. Storm Water As noted earlier, the storm water system won't be designed until the preliminary plat stage. However, by providing NURP/Infiltration combination stormwater basins throughout the site, we believe that we have enough area set aside in order to achieve no off-site discharge of 100yr storm event, 1/12 acre- foot/acre/day of infiltration for the entire site's acreage, and NURP design pretreatment. The proposed plan and storm water treatment system will meet or exceed the City of Rosemount's requirements. • Infiltration Areas/Buffer NURP/Infiltration combination basins will be excavated and graded during site construction activities. After final grading, these areas will be restored. Aquatic bench area of the NURP basin will be permanently seeded with a MNDOT 34- 181 Emergent Wetland seed mix. The infiltration area immediately above the aquatic bench of the NURP basin and up the slope to the HWL elevation will be permanently seeded with a MNDOT 33-261 Native Stormwater Bank seed mix. Seed mixes will be seeded to overlap to better facilitate establishment though varying moisture conditions. ii. Permanent seeding throughout the NURP/Infiltration basin area will be covered by erosion control blanket or hydro -mulch. iii. If site grading does not coincide with proper seeding dates, the NURP/Infiltration basin areas will be temporarily stabilized with an oats or winter wheat cover crop and hydro - mulch. After permanent seeding, NURP/Infiltration basin areas will be maintained to promote the establishment of the native seed mixes through a combination of site monitoring, spot herbicide treatments to control undesirable seed species, and site mowing. 16. Welcome Center, Services (future commercial) Entrance in to the community will be either from Akron or from CR 42, across from Abbeyfield Avenue (to the north). The main entrance into the community for Phase One will be located at the CR42/Abbeyfield intersection. The northeast corner along CR 42, is approximately 8.68 acres of future commercial/retail and approximately 11.18 acres of multi-family/multi-story residential. Neither of these uses will be developed immediately but will be developed as part of a future phase. The first phase will contain a Welcome Center/Fitness area and plaza on a parcel located just south of the future commercial/retail parcel. This will provide visitors with a sense of arrival to their destination and an open vista to green spaces and model park. Final design of this building has not been completed. The space will be designed to serve as a community marketing center, a small cafe and gathering space with flexible area for co -working. A separate structure will be designed nearby to facilitate a health and wellness fitness area. It is envisioned that there will be a plaza connecting these two buildings that will contain seating areas and an outdoor fireplace. While we have not started designing this center, during the design charrette, we did have LRK sketch a concept which is shown on the next page. (View from the north looking south) A portion of the parcel that the Welcome Center is located on will contain a large green space. This space will be used for outdoor programing and events for all seasons. It is likely this outdoor area will be used for farmer markets, an outdoor skating rink, etc. It is also proposed that on a portion of this parcel there may be a few stylish converted shipping containers. Currently, we envision these to be temporary units finished architecturally compatible to the permanent Welcome Center and Fitness area. These units will create excitement and activity, whether a warming house for the rink, small business ventures, retail or office space. Their future will depend on how successful they are and whether or not they are necessary once the designated commercial area is built out. We see these pods as areas to partner with the local community and possibly DCTC to showcase their student's products, services, etc. One of our early goals is to create a vibrancy in the community. There won't be market demand for the retail parcels until a significant portion of the community has been built out. With the right programming these containers can be a draw for people to gather and visit. 17. Resident Communitv Center and Pool It is anticipated that during phase two we will be starting construction of a resident community center and pool. This amenity area will be designed at a later date. Its exact location will be determined once the storm water system has been finalized. We anticipate it will be centrally located and adjacent to the greenway. There will be an adjacent resident community center that will house changing facilities and a community room with a kitchen that can be reserved for private events. This area will be designed with the overall theming of the community. An illustrative example of how this may layout is below. 18. Trails/Green Space Corridor We recognize the importance of trailway corridors, connectivity and green spaces. At this point we have not designed the trail system. By the time the public hearing is held we hopefully will have met with Dakota County so we can learn more about their plans for the regional trail system. Currently the Dakota County website shows crossings at CR 42. On one page of their website, they show the crossing on the east side of Akron and on another page they show it near the lift station. With this proposal either crossing can be accommodated. This concept has an open space corridor that generally runs from the northwest corner of the site to the southeast corner. This green space will also contain storm water treatment facilities. These stormwater facilities will be more fully designed at preliminary plat. Once they are designed. we will then be able to layout the trail system. This system will of course connect to the sidewalk system. There will be approximately 134 acres of open space (Including storm water treatment facilities but excluding road right of way). The green space corridor will be meaningful and will range from 140 feet to over 900 feet in width. One of the attractions of the site is the possibility of being able to eventually connect to Whitetail Woods Regional Park and Vermillion Highlands. Our hope is to work with the City, County and the University of Minnesota to develop a plan for Vermillion Crossing to eventually be able to connect to these wonderful amenities. 19. Sidewalks 5' sidewalks will generally be incorporated on one side of the street on neighborhood streets and 8' sidewalks/trailways on either side of collector streets. 20. Phasing As we refine the plan and determine the exact phasing plan, we believe the first phase will be in the northeast corner, excluding the multi-family/multi-story and commercial/retail parcels. It will contain the community welcome center with a fitness center and approximately 200 lots. We then anticipate the future phases will move south to the southern property boundary and finally to the west. This allows us to maximize our distance from the mining activities until mining operations are ready to move south. We anticipate each phase to be approximately 200 units. 21.
