PLANNING COMMISSION REGULAR MEETING MINUTES FEBRUARY 26, 2019 PAGE3 Public Comments: Reid Schulz, D.R. Horton, 20860 Kenbridge Court, Suite 100, Lakeville, stated that the HOA isintended for the association maintained Freedom lots. The site amenities will be packaged into theHOA. The traditional single family properties willbe excluded from the HOA. Commissioner Reed questioned why the landscape plan didn’tinclude trees on the North West section of thedevelopment. Mr. Schulz stated thatthe landscape plan included thetrees for buffering purposes along the Freedom lots were the properties will be closer together and the HOA can maintain. The buffer trees drop off as you get closer to the single family lots. Roger Hamilton, 13555 Athena Way, stated that his property backs up toBonaire Path and that his concern iswith the traffic along Bonaire Path and the intersection of Highway 3and Bonaire Path. He expressed concern about car lights going into his neighborhood from the 80 acres west of Caramore when that develops.

SUMMARY Applicant: U.S. Home Corporation, dba Lennar Location: Outlot L, Prestwick Place; Approximately 600 feet east of Akron Avenue and 1,000 feet north of County Road 42 Gross Acres: 15.07 Acres Net Acres: 15.07 Acres Proposed Units: 106 Units Gross Density: 7.03 Units/Acre Net Density: 7.03 Units/Acre Comp Plan Des.: MDR-Medium Density Residential Zoning: R3 PUD-Medium Density Residential Planned Unit Development The Planning Commission is being asked to consider a request from U.S. Home Corporation for Preliminary and Final Plat approval and approval ofa Planned Unit Development (PUD) Final Site and Building Plan for a 106 unit townhome development. The City previously approved a PUD Concept Plan and PUD Master Development Plan and Rezoning for the subject property and surrounding area, with the latter approval occurring on October 2, 2007. As specified in the City’sZoning Ordinance, final site and building plan signify approval of all plans necessary prior to application for a building permit subject to other necessary approvals by the city including, but not limited to platting. Because it has been over one year since the preliminary plat for Prestwick was approved by the City, the Planning Commission is also being asked to consider approval ofan updated preliminary plat along with the final plat. As the Commission is aware, an approved Master Development Plan functions as the zoning for the property and therefore review of this project should becompared to the 2007 approval with conditions. BACKGROUND The subject property is part of a larger 290 acre mixed use development approved by the City in 2007 on the northwest and northeast quadrants of County Road 42 and Akron Avenue. The approved PUD Master Development and Rezoning includes approximately 50 acres of commercial, 90 acres of residential, and 130 acres platted asoutlots for future development. Most of the approved development areas west of Akron Avenue received final plan approval and have since been developed. The Dakota County CDA has begun constructing itsPrestwick Place Townhomes development northwest of the site, and the City Council is reviewing at its next meeting the Planning Commission’srecommendation of approval for a fifty unit townhome development immediately north of the subject parcel. The majority of land within the Prestwick Place Planned Unit Development remaining tobe constructed isguided for commercial uses in the northeast and northwest of the intersection of Akron Avenue and County Road 42 as well as land guided for High Density Residential development immediately west of the subject parcel on land owned by the Dakota County CDA. Prior to approval of the Prestwick Place mixed use development, the City completed an environmental review of the entire project area and land further north (the CSAH 42/Akron AUAR). The AUAR examined three possible development scenarios for the entire area, and included an evaluation of the potential impacts from development, including traffic, storm water, water supply, and other environmental concerns. The approved plans for Prestwick Place adhere to the first development scenario, which was the lowest density alternative at 6.21 dwelling units per acre. Since approval of the PUD, the City has approved plan modifications west of Akron Avenue that have reduced the overall project density by eliminating many of the planned townhouse units. This means that future developments consistent with the Prestwick preliminary plans will fall well within the project scope and impacts expected when the development was reviewed and first approved by the City. Lennar has now submitted itsrequest for Planned Unit Development Final Site and Building plan approval with the applications currently in front of the Planning Commission. The adopted Master Development Plan functions as the zoning for the site and the final site and building plans should be reviewed based upon that approved Master Plan. The current application includes all of the required detailed information for a final plan review, including a final site plan, grading, drainage, and erosion control plans, stormwater plan, landscaping plan, and related information. The overall configuration of units follows the approved master 2 development plan very closely, but some of the buildings that were shown to contain ten or twelve units in the original plan have been split into buildings containing six to eight units. Staff finds the final site and building plan tobe in substantial compliance with the approved Master Development Plan. ISSUEANALYSIS Subdivision and planned unit development requests are considered quasi-judicial actions. In such cases, the City is acting as a judge to determine if the regulations within the Comprehensive Plan, Zoning Ordinance, and Subdivision Ordinance are being followed. Generally, ifthe application meets these requirements it must be approved. Because the subject property is located within Prestwick Place, the City has established zoning for the area of R3-PUD. This means that the PUD master development plan functions as the zoning for the property and the more specific requirements within the PUD are the standards that must be used to evaluate development proposals rather than the R3 ordinance criteria. The applicable PUD standards, along with staff findings related toeach are provided below. Similar to a site plan review process, if the Commission finds that the application is consistent with the ordinance criteria (the master development plan in this case) the project should be approved. General Subdivision Design The applicant is proposing tosubdivide the site into a number of outlots and individual lots for each unit within each outlot. In most subdivisions containing townhomes, the common area throughout the entire site has been platted as a single outlot. The reasoning provided by the applicant isthat itis easier for the homeowners’ association to manage the property maintenance. Staff has no objections to this. The st applicant is proposing private streets within the development with the exception of a cul-de-sac labeled 141 Court East, which will be public, in the southern portion of the site from which private streets will extend. The private streets are contained within outlots as well. Because the stormwater pond in the southeastst portion of the site will be serving 141 Court East, and likely some of Adalyn Avenue, staff is recommending that the ponding area be placed in anoutlot and deeded to the city with the recording of the final plat for ownership and maintenance of the pond. Until that time, staff is recommending the applicant dedicate a drainage and utility easement over that ponding area. Land Use and Zoning The site under consideration is guided for medium density residential in the City’sComprehensive Plan, which guides land for residential development ata density of 6-12 units per acre. The proposed project falls at the low end of this range at 7.03 units per acre. Consistent with the future land use designation, the property is zoned R-3 Medium Density Residential/Planned Unit Development. Single-family attached residential units are a permitted use in this district in accordance with the minimum lot requirements and setbacks specified in the Zoning Ordinance. With the PUD designation, the development also needs to adhere to the standards, requirements, and any flexibility allowed under the approved master development plan. Planned Unit Development Final Site and Building Plan The 2007 Prestwick Place PUD Master Development Plan established that development within the PUD area will follow the underlying zoning requirements with the exceptions listed in the approved PUD Agreement. These exceptions include the following: The townhouse buildings within Outlot G, Outlot L, and that part of Outlot M zoned R3 PUD, Prestwick Place, are permitted tohave a maximum of12 units per building. The townhouse buildings within Outlot G, Outlot L, and that part of Outlot M zoned R3 PUD, Prestwick Place, have a setback from the public street of 25 feet, a setback from property lines of 30 feet, aminimum building separation of 20feet, and a minimum parking setback from public street right ofway of 20 feet. 3 The final development plans comply with allof these requirements as summarized in the following chart: Standard Requirement Proposed Total Residential Units 106 (Preliminary PUD) 106 Max Units Per Building 12 8 Street Setback 25 ft. 29 ft. Adalyn Ave. 77 ft. Future Connemara Extension 61 ft. Addison St. Property Line Setback 30 ft. 38 ft. Building Separation 20 ft. 29 ft. Parking Setback 20 ft. 45 ft. Two standards ofthe R3 zoning district, which were not addressed in the 2007 Planned Unit Development, are not met by the applicants plans. Staff believes these standards can be met through plan revisions prior to final Council action. The plans indicate ashortfall in the total number of parking stalls required by the City Code. The applicant provides 2.44 parking spaces per unit, below the 2.5 spaces per unit minimum. Two driveway stalls are provided for each unit, but only 47 off street guest stalls are shown on the plans. A total of .5 stalls per unit, or fifty-three parking stalls, in addition to driveway stalls are required. Staff does not count the end of the private drives for parking as they really serve as a turn-around for the end units. Staff will work with the applicant to identify areas where additional guest parking may be located, either through pull-in stalls or designated parking along the private streets. The second standard not met isthe minimum separation between structures requirement where the rear of a row of townhome dwelling units faces the rear ofan adjoining row oftownhome dwelling units. The standard is aminimum separation of sixty (60) feet. The only location within the development where this is relevant is between the structures within Blocks 12 and 13 in the southern portion of the site. The plans indicate a separation of 57.4 feet. Staff believes there is enough room on the site to provide the necessary spacing. Home Designs The development will contain both row-style townhomes and back-to-back townhomes. The proposed townhome structures will feature exteriors which are similar in design, but with slight variations such as gables on the front elevations. Exterior materials will bea combination of face brick or stone on the first story. The second story will be finished with lap siding and the gables will be finished with shakes to provide additional variation inmaterials. The units, which will be approximately 1,700 square feet in area, will contain three bedrooms and three bathrooms. The overall building design either meets or exceeds the architectural requirements elsewhere within Prestwick Place, and will provide for a unified site design throughout the project area. Access and Parking th The extension of Addison Avenue being constructed with Prestwick Place 17 Addition will provide access to the site from the north. A private street is being proposed to serve the northernmost units with accesses onto Addison Avenue that align with the accesses serving the development immediately north of the site. Adalyn Avenue, along the western border ofthe site, will provide access to the remainder ofthe site. Three private streets will intersect Adalyn Avenue and allow traffic to loop around the buildings. Ast public street labeled 141 Court East will provide access to Adalyn Avenue for two other internal private streets. While Adalyn Avenue will provide aconnection between Addison Avenue and the future extension ofConnemara Trail, no direct access will be provided from Connemara Trail itself. The plan provides a minimum twenty foot setback from the private streets to allow for two parking spaces on the driveway of each unit. Additional guest parking is required in the amount of .5stalls per unit. The 4 plans submitted by the applicant show a total of 47 guest parking spaces (.44 stalls per unit) located throughout the site. Staff feels that there is space to provide the required spaces, in this case an additional 6 stalls. This additional parking may be in the form ofpull-in parking spaces or designated spaces along the private streets. Staff recommends acondition that the applicant shall work with staff to identify how this requirement of the code can be met prior to Council taking action on this item. Parking Requirement Parking Provided 2.5 stalls per unit (2 driveway 212 driveway stalls, 47 guest stalls (259 total/2.44 stalls/unit, .5 guest stalls/unit per unit) Landscaping The applicant has provided a landscaping plan that shows a total of 265 trees and 770 shrubs. There are no existing trees on the property so the applicant will not need to provide any replacement trees in the development. The landscape plan exceeds all the requirements of the landscape ordinance. Specifically, the ordinance requires a minimum of one tree per unit and one foundation planting per ten linear feet of building perimeter. This results in a total of 106 street trees and 643 shrubs (6,424 linear feet of building perimeter) required. The applicant is providing 115 street trees and an additional 150 buffer trees. The plan shows 770 shrubs places near the entrance stoops of the units and also around the patios at the rear of each unit. Landscaping Required Provided 115 Street Trees 27 Deciduous Buffer TreesTrees106 (1 tree per dwelling unit) 94 Coniferous Buffer Trees 29 Ornamental Buffer Trees 643 (1 shrub per 10 linear feet ofFoundationPlantings 770 Shrubsbuilding) The landscape plan provides a good mix of trees, with the majority of the buffer trees placed along Adalyn Avenue and Addison Avenue. Street trees are placed along the future extension of Connemara Trail at the required spacing of every 50 feet. Additional buffer trees are provided around the interior green spaces, particularly along the pedestrian path that winds through the site, north and south. Parks and Pedestrian Features The City of Rosemount Parks Master Plan does not identify a new park in this area, and staff is recommending the City collect cash in lieu of land dedication for this project. This project will be served by two neighborhood parks: Ailesbury Park, which is located approximately one quarter mile west of Akron Avenue along Connemara Trail, and also Greystone Park located one quarter mile north of the sitethth between 138 Street East and 139 Street East. Pedestrian access to the site will be provided by an extension of the bituminous trail on the south side of Addison Avenue along the northern boundary of the site. The applicant’splans do not indicate a sidewalk or path along Adalyn Avenue, but staff anticipates that when that street is designed and constructed as a City project a sidewalk or path will be constructed with it. Pedestrian access into the site from Adalynst Avenue is provided at 141 Court East. The plans show a path entering the site along that street and then extending north between the buildings before intersecting the trail along Addison Avenue. 5 Lighting Under the City’szoning regulations, the townhouse project does not require a specific photometric lighting plan. Instead, the applicant has been advised that they will need to follow the City street lightingst policy for 141 Court East and the internal private road system. The City’spolicy specifies the type and spacing of fixtures to be used. The final plan set does not include any information about street lights, and the final plans should be updated to include a specific lighting plan. Trash Enclosures Each individual townhouse unit will be responsible for trash enclosures similar to any other single family development. All trash must be stored in an approved container and within an enclosed building before and after the scheduled pickup. Signage The final site plan does not indicate that a monument sign is being proposed anywhere within the development. If a sign is going to be constructed on the site, the applicant will need to secure a sign permit prior toinstallation and the sign must comply with all applicable requirements of the sign ordinance concerning size, location, and other regulations. Engineering Comments This request was reviewed by the City’sassistant city engineer, and comments are provided in the attached engineer’smemo dated March, 18, 2019 Staff is recommending the stormwater ponding area in the southeast portion of the site be placed in an outlot and deeded to the City. Staff is also recommending the plans be revised to show intersection details along Adalyn Avenue that include a sidewalk to be constructed with Adalyn Avenue. Finally, staff feels that the applicant isproviding more water main stubs to the property east of the site than may be necessary. Staff is recommending the applicant work with staff to determine the number and location of water main stubs to that property. Phasing The applicant has indicated that they are planning to begin construction in the spring of 2019. The first phase of development will consist of 42 units located north of Street C. Adalyn Avenue provides the access for the majority of the units within this phase. Because the City is not planning to construct that street until 2020, a temporary segment ofAdalyn Avenue will be required to serve those units that are unable to beaccessed from Addison Avenue. CONCLUSION & RECOMMENDATIONth Staff finds that the Prestwick Place 18 Addition Preliminary and Final Plats and Planned Unit Development Final Site and Building Plan are consistent with the Prestwick Place PUD Master Development Planth approval.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Planning Commission Meeting: March 18, 2019 Tentative City Council Meeting: April 16, 2019 AGENDA ITEM: 19-17-SMPRequest by Dean Trongard AGENDA SECTION: for a Simple Plat for Bacardi Ridge to Public HearingSplitandRecombineTwoLots PREPARED BY: Kyle Klatt, Senior Planner AGENDA NO. 5.c. ATTACHMENTS: Site Location Map, Proposed Plat, Existing Conditions, Proposed APPROVED BY: K.L. Conditions, Conservation Easement Description, Easement Vacations, Aerial Photograph RECOMMENDED ACTION: Motion to recommend the City Council approve a Simple Plat for Bacardi Ridge with the following condition: 1) Conservation easements in a form acceptable to the City shall be recorded with the final plat and cover the wetland and wetland buffers as identified on the plat and associated drawings. SUMMARY The Planning Commission is being asked to consider a Simple Plat request by Dean Trongard, representing Fredric and Deborah Ruppe and Ellen Leidner, to split and recombine their existing parcels along Bacardi Avenue into a new subdivision to be named Bacardi Ridge. There are no new buildable parcels created bythe plat, and it will facilitate the transfer ofsome of Mrs. Leidner’sexisting property to her neighbor to the south. The two resulting lots will either comply with allunderlying requirements for the City’sAG – Agriculture zoning district or maintain the existing property conditions. Staff is recommending approval of the request with one condition. Property Owners: Fredric and Deborah Ruppe, 12050 Bacardi Avenue and Ellen Leidner, 12006 Bacardi Avenue Applicant: Dean Trongard, Broker/Attorney, Options Real Estate, Inc. th Location: Bacardi Avenue immediately south of 120 Street Site Area in Acres: 8.75 Acres Current Zoning: AG-Agriculture BACKGROUND The two property owners requesting the proposed subdivision own parcels in the extreme northern portion ofthe City along Bacardi Avenue. Both parcels have been occupied by single family residences since the early 1960’; however the Ruppes’ property was originally part of a larger parcel used forth agricultural activities including mushroom farming in the early to mid-20 century. The property currently owned by the Ruppes was split off in 2002 through a subdivision called the Schlukebier Addition that created a 10+ acre buildable parcel inback ofthe historic farmstead. The original residence on the Ruppe parcel was torn down and replaced by a new home a little more than three years ago. Half of the old agricultural building still stands on Ruppe’sproperty and is currently used for storage. The Ruppes presently own 3 acres. Ellen Leidner owns 5.75acres directly north of Ruppes land, and her property is occupied by a single- family residence and a detached residential garage of approximately 1,200 square feet. Her two parcels are bounded by Bacardi Avenue to the west and a private driveway in Inver Grove Heights to the north. There are no public road improvements north of her property; however, the private driveway is locatedthth immediately across from and inline with 120 Street. Any future extension of 120 Street would likely follow the private driveway corridor. The City of Rosemount recently approved a lot split/combination for Mrs. Leidner that allowed her tointegrate a small strip ofland immediately east of Bacardi Avenue owned by the property owner across Bacardi Avenue) into her existing parcels. This action helped fix a long-standing issue concerning ownership of the land between the present alignment of Bacardi Avenue and Mrs. Leidner’shouse. Within the last year or so the Ruppe approached Mrs. Leidner about acquiring some of her property. The result of these conversations is the proposed subdivision that would facilitate the transfer of 2.49 acres to the Ruppes while Leidner would retain 2.5acres around her residence and garage. The new lot line between the owners follows an unusual alignment, but was designed to ensure that each resulting lot fully complies with the underlying AG – Agricultural zoning district regulations (ordoes not expand any existing non-conformities). In addition, the new lots were designed to either maintain or increase compliance with the dimensional standards for each lot. For instance, the proposed subdivision does not change the lot width of each parcel even though both are under the 300 feet required by the Code. Under the City’szoning regulations, parcels must be brought into compliance when a new application is submitted (they can also maintain existing conditions), and the City should take action on a request that increases the non-conforming nature of any parcel. ISSUE ANALYIS Simple Plat The applicant is proposing asimple plat for the subdivision, which allows the City to waive some of the normal subdivision application requirements and to combine the preliminary and final plat review into one action. The proposed plat does not create any new buildable parcels, will not require any new grading activity, and will not be served by any new public improvements; therefore, many of the City’snormal application materials are not necessary for this plat. The proposed lots tobe created through the subdivision will be 2.5 acres and 5.49 acres insize. The lots will continue toutilize the existing access points and driveways, and there will be no specific on-site improvements as a result of the plat. In the future, any site improvements will need tocomply with the City’szoning regulations. Public Right-of-Way Dedication Because the Leidner property has not previously been platted, the City isrequiring right-of-way for all surrounding roads (and planned roads) to be dedicated with the plat. This includes the northernmostth portion ofBacardi Avenue and the half of 120 Street within the City ofRosemount. Please note thatth although the City’stransportation plan depicts 120 Street as a planned future extension in this area, the dedication of right-of-way on the plat does not indicate the City has any short-term plans to build this road which would partly be located in the City of Inver Grove Heights and displace a private driveway). The City is continuing to work with its neighboring communities on inter-jurisdictional transportation issues through the current Comprehensive Plan Update process. Lot Standards The site iscurrently zoned AG – Agricultural which allows lots with aminimum size of 2.5acres ifplatted, with a maximum overall density of one house per 40 acres. Both lots will meet this minimum lot size standard, and the overall existing density of 2houses on 8.75 acres (one house per 4.38 acres) will not change with the subdivision or further increase the site density. Please note that the resulting lot sizes of 2 2.5 and 5.49 acres are exclusive of the dedicated right-of-way, which also does not change the ultimate maximum number of allowed units for this area. The only other dimensional standard that is potentially impacted by the subdivision is the setback to the detached garage on the Leidner property. The subdivision will maintain the required side and rear setbacks of 30 feet for this structure from the new lot line between the two parcels. Lot Standards Lot Area Lot Width Maximum Density AG-Agriculture 2.5 Acres 300 feet 1 unit/40 Acres Current Proposed Lot Area Lot Width Lot Area Lot Width Leidner 5.75 295.03 Feet 2.5 Acres 295.03 Feet Ruppe 3 229.10 Feet 5.49 Acres 229.10 Feet Right-of-Way 0 n/a 0.76 Acres n/a Wetlands/Conservation Easements There are two designated wetlands within Bacardi Ridge, and both have been properly delineated on the proposed subdivision and existing conditions plan. The eastern-most wetland is a “Preserve”-type wetland that requires a 75-foot buffer while the other, smaller wetland is a “Manage 2” wetland requiring a 30-foot buffer. The plat includes drainage and utility easements over all wetland and wetland buffer areas, and the applicant has prepared adescription for conservation easements over these areas as well. Staff is recommending a condition of approval that the conservation easements be recorded with the plat. Drainage and Utility Easements Because the Ruppe parcel was previously platted with the Schlukebier Addition it has drainage and utility easements along the front, side, and rear property lines. The applicant is proposing to vacate all of these easements and dedicate new ones with Bacardi Addition. The new plat will include 10-foot easements along front property lines and five-foot easements along side and rear property lines. Additionally, the applicant is proposing to include drainage and utility easements over all wetlands and wetland buffer areas. The City Council has been asked to vacate the old Schlukebier easements in conjunction with the plat approval. RECOMMENDATION Staff recommends approval ofa Simple Plat request for the Bacardi Ridge plat with one condition. This recommendation for approval isbased on the information provided to the Planning Commission. 3 Dakota County, MN Property Information March 4, 20 19 0 450900225 ft 0 13026065 m 1:4,800 Disclaimer: Map and parcel data are believed to be accurate, but accuracy is not guaranteed.
