APPROVED BY:
Dakota County Treasurer -Auditor
RECOMMENDED ACTION: Motion to approve the Resolution Authorizing the akota
County Treasurer -Auditor to Auction Tax -Forfeited Parcel # 34-67700-040-00 to the
Adjoining Property Owner(s).
ISSUE
The Dakota County Treasurer -Auditor has informed the City of Rosemount that the Parcel with PID#
34-67700-040-00 within the City of Rosemount has been forfeited to the State of Minnesota for non-
payment of property taxes. As provided in Minnesota Statute 282.01, the City has the authority to approve
the transfer of tax -forfeited property by one of three means: the auction of this property to the public, the
auction of the property to the adjoining owner(s), or the conveyance to the City for public use.
BACKGROUND
The City has been notified that the State of Minnesota has acquired a parcel on the north side of Upper
156`h Street West and directly south and adjoining 15728 Crystal Path. The parcel information regarding
this property is as follows:
PID #:
34-67700-040-00
Property Owner:
State of Minnesota
Location:
Directly North of the Upper 1561h Street West; Directly South of
15728 Crystal Path
Legal Description:
Shannon Pond South Outlot D
Area:
1,074 Square Feet
Lot Depth:
10 Feet
Comp. Guide Plan Desig:
Urban Residential
Current Zoning:
R-1, Low Density Residential
The property to the north (15728 Crystal Path) of the tax forfeited parcel was created with the Shannon
Pond subdivision in 1993. The tax forfeited parcel (Outlot D) was created with the Shannon Pond South
subdivision in 1999. It appears that Outot D was created to serve as a buffer between 15728 Crystal Path
and Upper 156`h Street West. The tealtor who had owned Outot D has failed to make tax payments and
therefore, the property has been forfeited to the State of Minnesota.
Staff discourages the public auction of this property. The property is described as an Outlot, and is
considered unbuildable. State Statute allows Rosemount to ask the County Auditor to sell tax forfeited
properties to adjoining property owners if the tax forfeited property is non -conforming. Oudot D is
zoned R1 - Low Density Residential, which requires 10,000 square feet and 125 feet of depth. Outot D is
non -conforming because it is only 1,074 feet in size and 10 feet in depth.
Staff does not see a public use for this property, so staff also discourages the conveyance of this property
to the City. Its limited size does not provide any recreational uses and the right-of-way surrounding this
property is sufficient for all the public infrastructure needs of the neighborhood. City ownership would
also prevent any future tax income from this property.
Staff believes the best option for this property would be the auction of this property to the adjoining
owner(s).
SUMMARY
Staff recommends approval of the resolution.

only 10 feet; and

City Council Meeting: October2, 2007
AGENDA ITEM: 1st Reading Right -of -Way Ordinance
AGENDA SECTION:

PREPARED BY: Andrew J. Brotzler, PE, City Engineer W
AGENDA NO.
ATTACHMENTS: Ordinance; Resolution
APPROVED BY: iV
RECOMMENDED ACTION: Motion to have as First Reading and Set October, , 2007 for
Second Reading and Adoption.
BACKGROUND:
As part of City Code, Title 4, Chapter 2 addresses the installation of underground utilities by private utility
companies, this section of the City Code defines the process and requirements for the permitted
installation of private underground utilities within public right-of-way and easements. In an effort to
further clarify the expectations and requirements for the pertitted installation of private utilities within
public right-of-way and easements, the attached draft ordinance has been prepared by City staff and the
City Attorney. Comments received by Council have been incorporated into the final draft ordinance.
The draft ordinance includes a number of new requirements as follows:
• Registration of utility company with the City.
• Insurance requirements for private utility companies.
• Annual reporting of planned infrastructure improvements.
• Permit requirements and payment of permit fees.
• Right-of-way patching and restoration standards.
• Installation requirements.
• Digital mapping and "as -built" drawings.
In addition to the draft ordinance, new right-of-way permit fees and charges are proposed to be
implemented. These proposed fees have been developed consistent with several metro area communities
and are intended to cover the City cost associated with the administration and oversight necessary to
permit and observe the installation of private underground utilities. Should these fees be implemented as
part of the City's fee resolution, the fees will be reviewed on an annual basis with the City's fee study
update.
A letter was sent to private utility companies along with a copy of the draft ordinance. Staff has given
them until October 9, 2007 to send their comments back in writing.
SUMMARY:
Staff is recommending a motion having this as the first reading with the second reading and adoption
anticipated at the October 16, 2007 regular meeting.

To provide for the health, safety and welfare of its citizens, and to ensure the integrity of its streets and the
appropriate use of the rights -of -way, the city strives to keep its rights -of -way in a state of good repair and
free from unnecessary encumbrances.
Accordingly, the city hereby enacts this new chapter of this code relating to right-of-way permits and
administration. This chapter imposes reasonable regulation on the placement and maintenance of facilities
and equipment currently within its rights -of -way or to be placed therein at some future time. It is intended
to complement the regulatory roles of state and federal agencies. Under this chapter, persons excavating
and obstructing the rights -of -way will bear financial responsibility for their work. Finally, this chapter
provides for recovery of out-of-pocket and projected costs from persons using the public rights -of -way.

Minnesota Statutes Sections 237.16, 237.162, 237.163, 237.79, 237.81, and 238.086 (the "Act") and the
other laws governing applicable rights of the city and users of the right-of-way. This chapter shall also be
interpreted consistent with Minnesota Rules 7819.0050 — 7819.9950 where possible. To the extent any
provision of this chapter cannot be interpreted consistently with the Minnesota Rules, that interpretation
most consistent with the Act and other applicable statutory and case law is intended. This chapter shall not

necessary to protect the health, safety and welfare of the public.

Motion by Droste. Second by Sterner.
MOTION to close the public hearing for the Assessment Heating 2005 Pavement Management
Project, City Project 392.
Ayes: 5.
Nays: 0. Motion carried.
Ms. Shoe -Corrigan sympathized with residents who had problems with the street project. Ms. Shoe -
Corrigan wants the residents to understand how to interact with government so they can advocate
for themselves. She expressed the need to make government a little more friendly in Rosemount.
Ms. Shoe -Corrigan reminded residents that if they cannot attend a meeting they could receive
information from the city web page, www.ci.rosemount.mn.us.
Mr. Brotzler stated he also wants to improve communication and appreciates all feedback from
residents and property owners. It is important to know if there are any issues that can perhaps be
improved at that time.
Mr. Baxter requested a follow up report be done to see where the communication broke down and
how it can be improved. Staff acknowledged the directive.
Mr. DeBettignies inquired why Cameo Place did not receive an assessment. Mr. Brotzler noted the
assessment policy states if a property does not have a driveway unto the improved street they do not
receive any benefit and can not be assessed.

MOTION to adopt A Resolution Adopting the Assessment Roll for the 2005 Pavement
Management Project, City Project 392.
Ayes: 5.

Mayor Droste reviewed the public hearing process for the public. The Affidavits of Posted and
Published Notice were on file with the City Clerk.
City Engineer Brotzlet described the second phase of improvements to Old County Road 38 (CR

included east to Bacardi Avenue and then continue easterly as new development occurs. Right-of-
way and temporary easements and ponding easements will need to be acquired. Utility easements
must be established for a number of gas pipelines that crisscross under CR 38. A lateral sanitary
sewer line will provide service to three properties north of CR 38. The storm sewer system is
consistent with city standards. Mr. Brotzler reported that Mare Pond is a preserved wetland which
will require a retaining wall built on pilings. The roadway over Mare Pond will be an expensive
component and will impact about one acre of wetland. Preserved wetlands mitigation has a 3 to 1
ratio replacement which is included in the proposed project. The soils in the wetland are such that
additional soil will need to be added to the road base to compact it. Mr. Brotzler noted the railroad
crossing will be upgraded with gates and lights and the costs for right-of-way acquisition there are
not known at this time. Road assessments are proposed to be assessed at $110 per front foot and
the sanitary sewer assessment will be $1,250 per acre. It was noted that the proposed assessments
do not include costs associated with right-of-way acquisition. All costs including tight -of -way
acquisition will be assessed to respective properties in addition to the proposed assessments. Mr.
Brotzler reviewed the funding for the project which included $2,240,000 from the turn -back
agreement with Dakota County. This is a Municipal State Aid road which is subject to state aid
approval. The proposed schedule would award bids in May, and begin the project in June with an
assessment hearing in November 2006. Council called for clarification on locations of certain ponds
and the lateral sanitary sewer.
Mr. Sterner inquired who would pay for the trails that would be completed as development occurs.
Mr. Brotzler responded that the developer would bear that cost.
Mayor Droste opened the Public Hearing for City Project 387 for public comment. No comments
were made.
Motion by Droste. Second by Baxter.
MOTION to close the Public Hearing for Old County Road 38 Phase II Project, City Project

Ms. Shoe -Corrigan requested information about the temporary pond on Mr. Minea's property. Mr.
Brotzler reported he had met with Mt. Minea on this topic and the language for the pond easement
may be revised to clarify that the City will absolve the need for the pond when adequate pending is
provided by new development.

ISSUE
Arcon Development has submitted applications for approval of a Preliminary Plat, Rezoning and Planned
Unit Development Master Development Plan for approximately 285 acres north of County Road 42, 205 of
which are west of Akron Avenue and 80 of which are east of Akron Avenue. The development will include
approximately 235 acres of residential development and 50 acres of commercial development.
JULY 24 PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING
At their July 24 meeting, the Planning Commission discussed some larger issues relating to Prestwick Place,
including the size of the single family lots next to Bloomfield, the use of metal roofing, the private amenities
provided within the multiple family areas and the level of architecture for the townhouses that are visible
from the major public streets. The revised preliminary plat addresses these issues, while to varying degrees
of success. The lots adjacent to Bloomfield are 80 feet wide. The metal roofing request has been removed
by the developer. A trail has been added through the western Lennar townhouse development and
additional detail has been provided regarding the gazebo and picnic area in the eastern Lennar development.
Lennar has provided additional photos of the appearance of the ends of the townhouse units, but have not
proposed any changes to the architecture. Lennar has attempted to address architecture concerns by
installing berming or landscaping. Staff believes this may be an appropriate remedy, but recommends that
additional landscaping be provided beyond the amount the applicant proposes.
The preliminary plat request has changed since the July 24 Planning Commission meeting. The most
significant change is that Centex has withdrawn from the application. As a result, the property north of
Connemara Trail and west of Akron Avenue will be platted as an outlot for future development. The
residential development south of Connemara Trail has also been modified. There are now two instead of
three street connections with Connemara Trail, the ponding has been increased and separated from the City
park, and the former Centex single family housing will now be developed by Arcon.
AUGUST 28 PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING
At their August 28 meeting, the Planning Commission focused on discussions regarding the expectation of
the commercial areas within Prestwick Place. Arcon development has not submitted a proposed layout for
the commercial area because there is no eminent commercial user and had requested rezoning to simply C4-
General Commercial zoning. Staff was unwilling to simply rezone to standard zoning because this is part of
a larger Planned Unit Development (PUD) and there are expectations about how the commercial area would
be developed. Short of submitting a proposed commercial layout which would most likely be revised in the
future to meet the needs of any actual commercial enterprise, staff, the Planning Commission and Arcon
worked on a set of guidelines under which the commercial area would develop.
The commercial guidelines (which are attached to this executive summary) state that it is expected that each
commercial area on each side of Akron Avenue would have an anchor tenant. Required on one side of
Akron is a big box retailer at least 60,000 square feet. Required on the other side of Akron is an anchor that
could be met through a variety of users, such as medical clinic, a large bank or financial institution, a medium
size box retailer, or a series of smaller box retailers. In addition to the anchor provision, the guidelines also
address the uses permitted, provisions to limit single tenant buildings or auto -orientated business, and the
requirement of common architecture themes.
SEPTEMBER 11 PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING
At their September 11 meeting, the Planning Commission focused on a number of unsatisfactory addressed
issues, such as landscaping; private recreation and open spaces within the townhouse areas; off street guest
parking within the townhouse developments; and the additions to the sidewalk and trail network. The
Planning Commission recommended a number of additions to the landscaping, particularly along County
2
Road 42, Street 14 and Connemara Trail. The Planning Commission recommended the addition of a
playground and picnic area within the western Lennar townhouse development. The Planning Commission
recommended that no more than 10% of the off street parking is constructed without the ability to turn
around directly when backing up. Finally, the Planning Commission recommended five additions to the
sidewalk and trail network to provide missing connections and additional pedestrian opportunities within the
townhouse areas.
The revised Preliminary Plat attached to this executive summary provides all the changes that were
recommended by the Planning Commission.
SUMMARY
Arcon Development has proposed a 290 acre mixed use development on the northwest and northeast
corners of County Road 42 and Akron Avenue. The property northwest of the intersection is bounded by
the Union Pacific rail line to the north, the Bloomfield neighborhood to the west, County Road 42 to the
south, and Akron Avenue (County Road 73) to the east. There are five exception properties within the
northwest area, one farmstead property along County Road 42 and four single family homes along Akron
Avenue. The property northeast of the intersection is an 80 acre parcel bounded by agricultural property to
the north and east, Akron Avenue to the west, and County Road 42 to the south.
Surrounding Land Uses
North - Union Pacific rail line and agriculture
West - Single family housing
South - UMORE property and the Dakota County Technical College
East - Agriculture
The proposed land uses include approximately 50 acres of commercial, 90 acres of residential, and about 130
acres will be platted simply as oudots for future residential development. The residential development
includes about 40 acres developed by Lennar, 20 acres developed by the Dakota County Community
Development Agency (CDA), 23 acres developed by Arcon Development and 7 acres as parkland. The
Lennar portion of the development will consist of 277 townhouses, mostly eight-plex and ten-plex buildings.
The CDA portion of the development will consist of 200 apartments in five buildings and 42 townhouse
units similar to those approved in the Rosemount Family Housing development. The 23 acres that Arcon
will develop will consist of 64 single family houses. A seven acre park is located centrally within the
development west of Akron Avenue, but a portion of that area will either be encumbered by stormwater
management or Metropolitan (Met) Council sanitary sewer easement.
Three additional areas will be platted as outlots for future development. A 115 acre oudot on the northwest
portion of the plat was formerly planned for a Centex mixed residential neighborhood. Centex has since
backed out of the plat and Arcon is marketing the property to other residential developers. A 7 acre outlot
in the northeast corner of the plat is saved by Arcon to develop when the properties to the north or east
develop. A 6 acre outlot located in the southeast corner of the plat is created by the alignment of street 20
around a City pressure relief value and would expect to be combined with the potential development of the
property to the east. These outlots are a part of the preliminary plat, but will not be rezoned nor are a part
of the planned unit development master development plan.

The residential density of the proposed development is 6.21 dwelling units per acre (du/ac), nearly identical
to scenario one of the CSAH 42/Akron Alternative Urban Axeawide Review (AUAR). Scenario one was the
lowest density of the three AUAR scenarios reviewed. The overall density of the development is currently
unknown due to the 130 acres of land platted simply as outlots. Previously, staff had discussed with the City
Council the idea of a decreased density in the area as it related to the land use designations found in the
Comprehensive Plan. The Council indicated they would be flexible although was interested in having a
more compact development scenario in this location and would want to see a mix of high, medium and low
density development.
Arcon Single Family Housing
Arcon is proposing a 64 lot single family housing project located south of Connemara Trail, west of the City
park, north of Lennar's townhomes and east of the existing Bloomfield neighborhood. The development
proposes 72-foot wide lots with 5-foot garage side setbacks and 10-foot house side setbacks intended for
two story, three car garage houses, while the lots directly adjacent to Bloomfield will be 80 feet wide with
both side yards having 10-foot setbacks.

Arcon proposes housing requirements that include a minimurn of a two car garage, a minimum of 1,700
square feet for a single story home or 2,200 finished square feet for a two story home. Additional
architectural requirements include a minimum of a 7:12 pitch roof, front exteriors sided with at least 50%
brick, stone, stucco or wood. Maintenance -free siding would be installed on all the other elevations.
Arcon does not intend to construct the homes themselves, but would market the development to
homebuilders.
Lennar Townhouses
Lennar is proposing two townhouse neighborhoods, one on each side of Akron Avenue, consisting of a
total of 277 units. The neighborhood east of Akron consists of 171 units, 61 units in 16 single loaded
townhouse buildings and 110 units in 12 eight-plex, ten-plex or twelve-plex back-to-back buildings. The
neighborhood west of Akron consists of 106 units, 34 units in seven (7) single loaded townhouse buildings
and 72 units in seven (7) eight-plex, ten -plea or twelve-plex back-to-back buildings. All individual units are
accessed by joint private driveways.
Deviations from the City Code requested by the townhomes are to reduce the parking setback to 20 feet
from the required 30 feet and to construct buildings with as many as 12 units. Staff is supportive of the
requested deviation to 11-4-8 FA.c. requiring a 30 foot front yard parking setback because 20 feet still allows
for landscaping and other buffering and allows one car to queue at the end of the private drives without
blocking any parking spaces. The City Code Section 11-2-18 A. only permits a maximum of 6 units per
townhome building, but the City has previously approved PUDs in excess of the 6 unit per townhome
ordinance standard. Additionally, the larger buildings allow the project to increase the density on the site
which is more consistent with the comprehensive plan designation and the City's intent for the property.
At the July 24 meeting, the Planning Commission had significant conversation regarding the level of
architecture enhancement for the townhouse buildings and the private amenities provided to the
developments. The applicant has provided revisions to the plans addressing these issues.
Lennar has provided photos of the proposed townhouse buildings, including illustrations of the ends of the
buildings that will be facing the public streets. Lennar has not proposed any changes to the architecture
from their initial proposal, but have instead revised landscaping and grading plans to add landscaping along
parts of the Street 14 frontage and a landscaped berm along the County Road 42 and Connemara Trail
frontages.
5
Lennar has provided private recreational facilities within both townhouse developments through an interior
trail corridor and a playground and picnic area. An exhibit has also been provided to demonstrate that the
20% open space requirement has been fulfilled for the townhouse development. The exhibit shows that an
aggregate of 20% open space has been provided, with the east side having slightly less than 20% and the
west side having slightly more than 20%.
City ordinance requires a minimum of half of an off street parking stall per townhouse unit. Lennar has
provided a parking plan that shows how this parking will be provided with over 90% of the guest parking
stalls having the ability to turn around while backing up.
The western Lennar neighborhood provides an access to the southwestern exception parcel via Street 19.
This access, with the access provided at the southern end of Street 4, allows the exception parcel to develop
without a curb cut onto County Road 42.
The fire code limits multiple family residential developments to no more than 200 units without a second
full access. All 348 multiple family units on the east side of Akron Avenue will use the access of street 17
from Connemara Trail until a second access is created with the development of the properties to the north
or east. The development of the residential neighborhood east of Akron Avenue shall be limited to 200
units until a second full access is constructed.
CDA Townhouses and Apartments
The Dakota County Community Development Agency (CDA) is acquiring 18.53 acres on the east side of
Akron Avenue and the north side of Connemara Trail for the development of work force housing. The
northern 7.17 acres is proposed for a 42 unit townhouse complex and the southern 11.36 acres is proposed
for 200 apartment units within five (5) apartment buildings.
The 42 unit townhouse complex is intended to be similar to the Rosemount Family Housing 32 unit
townhouse development recently approved for the CDA on the northwest corner of South Robert Trail and
Connemara Trail. The intent is to have the complex be owned and maintained by the CDA and rented to
working families that would currently have an average income of $30,000. The CDA has a proposed central
playground area as a private recreational amenity for the complex. The only deviations from the City Code
-are to allow for a one car garage per unit and the 20 foot parking setback, the same as the other townhouse
development within the Prestwick Place development.
The 200 unit apartment complex would consist of five (5) buildings each three (3) stories in height with
underground parking. The CDA will sell the site to a private developer contingent on providing 20% of the
units affordable to people making less than 50% of the area median income. The proposal includes a central
clubhouse for the private recreation of the apartment complex and is designed for two parking stalls per
apartment. It is not anticipated that any deviation to the City Code would be needed for this development.
The CDA parcels contain sufficient detail to receive rezoning and Planned Unit Development Master
Development Plan, but additional information such as landscaping, internal vehicular and pedestrian
circulation, ingress and egress, and stormwater management will need to be clarified during Planned Unit
Development Final Development Plan approval.
As stated more fully in the Lennar townhouse section above, the development of the residential
neighborhood east of Akron Avenue shall be limited to 200 units until a second full access is constructed.

City Park
The preliminary plat proposes a 7.13 acre park located in the center of the plat, west of Akron Avenue. The
7.13 acre park is encumbered by 0.75 acres of Metropolitan (Met) Council sanitary sewer easement, leaving
6.38 acres unencumbered. The Parks Director believes that the park is adequately sized and is in an
appropriate location, but has some concerns about the park design with a Met Council sewer manhole
located within the park. The applicant has received permission from the Met Council to lower the manhole
and added a water tight seal to allow it to be buried about three feet under the ball field, allowing the
maximum use of the park with a major piece of infrastructure running through it. The Parks and Recreation
Commission recommended approval of the park layout at their September 24 meeting.
It is anticipated that the proposed park will not fulfill the full parkland dedication required by ordinance for
this development. Deficient parkland dedication is anticipated to be fulfilled through fee -in -lieu of park
dedication. The proposed preliminary plat is deficient 16.94 acres of parkland for the residential
development and 4.8 acres of parkland for the commercial development. Using the 2007 fees, that would
require a fee in lieu of dedication in the amount of $1,871,900 ($1,439,900 for the residential and $432,000
for the commercial). The actual amounts will be determined at the time of final plat and construction.
Commercial
The development proposes 48.07 acres for commercial development in two parcels, one on each side of
Akron Avenue. Outlot G, located on the west side of Akron Avenue, is 19.61 acres and will be accessed by
an access centered on the Akron Avenue frontage and the possibility of multiple accesses from Street 14.
Outlet J, located on the east side of Akron Avenue, is 28.46 acres and will be accessed by an access centered
on the Akron Avenue frontage , one possible access from Connemara Trail and the possibility of multiple
accesses from eastern most street (Street 20).
Outlet G and Outlot J combined will likely support approximately 260,000 square feet of retail commercial
space. Arcon had received some interest from a big box user to construct a store on the eastern parcel, but
there is no firm commitment at this time. Without an identified user, development of this parcel is not likely
before 2010.
Without a concept plan showing the potential layout of the commercial area, staff has been reluctant to
recommend rezoning of the commercial property. The applicant is reluctant to propose a concept plan for
the commercial area because every commercial user has different site plan requirements and expectations for
their commercial area. In an attempt to find middle ground, staff has prepared a set of guidelines that the
commercial area is anticipated to follow. These guidelines list the types of uses that would be allowed, the
expectation for anchor facilities within each outlet and limits the amount of auto -orientated businesses
within the development. These guidelines are attached to this executive summary.
The County has approved a 3/4access (left turn in, right turn in and right turn out; no left turn out permitted)
from Akron Avenue to the commercial development. The County approval will require a written agreement
between the County and the City stating that the County may close this '/a access in the future if the future
traffic characteristics warrant. The County has this authority without signing an agreement. Staff has yet to
receive a draft agreement from the County.
The commercial parcels (Outlots G and J) contain no information regarding their potential layout.
Additional information such as landscaping, internal vehicular and pedestrian circulation, ingress and egress,
and stormwater management will need to be clarified during Planned Unit Development Final Development
Plan approval.
7
Rezoning
The 72-foot wide single family lots are requested to be rezoned RI PUD - Low Density Residential Planned
Unit Development. The Lennar and CDA townhouses are requested to be rezoned to R3 PUD - Medium
Density Residential Planned Unit Development. The CDA apartments are requested to be rezoned to R4
PUD - High Density Residential Planned Unit Development. The commercial areas (Outlots G andn are
requested to be rezoned to C4 PUD - General Commercial Planned Unit Development and are subject to
the conditions stated within the Prestwick Place Commercial Area Guidelines dated September 7, 2007.
The outlots (Outlots A, I and K) that will be retained for potential future development will not be rezoned.
Street System
The street system for development is focused around the County Road 42, Akron Avenue (County Road 73)
and the future extension of Connemara Trail. County Road 42 is a principal arterial that is the main east to
west transportation corridor in Dakota County from Hastings to Burnsville. County Road 42 provides local
connections to major north -south routes such as US Hwy 61, US Hwy 52, Mn Hwy 3, Mn Hwy 77,
Interstate 35E and Interstate 35W. In Rosemount, the intersection of Akron Avenue and County Road 42
will be the second signalized intersection west of future County Road 42 and US Hwy 52 interchange,
therefore providing the potential for commercial development at this intersection.
Two additional accesses are proposed onto County Road 42 from this development, one west of Akron
Avenue and one east of Akron Avenue. The west access is approximately'/4 of a mile west of Akron
Avenue and is proposed to be a'/4 access, meaning vehicles can take a left from County Road 42 into the
development, but vehicles cannot take a left from the development onto County Road 42. The east access is
approximately 'A mile east of Akron Avenue and is proposed as a'/4 access.
Akron Avenue (County Road 73) is currently a gravel road that will be reconstructed as a two lane divided
road with turn lanes at the major intersections. The City and County are working on the plans for
reconstruction. Akron is a County Road and therefore spacing and access is dictated by their standards.
The City has had conversation with the County regarding access to this project and the need to balance
access and traffic management.
One full intersection is expected onto Akron Avenue from this development, at Connemara Trail (located
about 'A mile north of County Road 42), and a'/4 access is requested to serve the commercial area between
County Road 42 and Connemara Trail (located about 1/8 mile north of County Road 42). The Connemara
Trail and Akron Avenue intersection may be signalized in the future if traffic counts warrant. A third
intersection, providing full access, in anticipated to serve a future minor collector street north of Connemara
Trail and south of the railroad tracks (located about'/2 mile north of County Road 42).
The Dakota County Plat Commission has reviewed the Preliminary Plat and has given its approval.
The City Engineer has reviewed the remaining street network of the neighborhood and is generally pleased
with its layout. A number of technical changes will need to be made to the street networks and accesses
onto it. These changes are described in the City Engineer's memorandum attached to this report.
One feature to note is a request deviation to the City Code requirement of the 100 feet of right-of-way
(ROW) for Connemara Trail (a major collector) west of Akron Avenue. Connemara Trail ROW through
Bloomfield is only 85 feet wide and the applicant is requesting to continue the 85 foot width through the
west portion of the development to Street 14. Staff is supportive of this request provided the building,
structural, and fencing setback is the same as a 100 foot right-of-way and because the Connemara Trail right-
of-way in Bloomfield is only 85 feet wide.
Trails and Sidewalks
A trail and sidewalk network has been provided through the development. Generally, there are sidewalks
provided on one side of the single family neighborhoods and both sides of the multiple family
neighborhoods. Trails have been provided on the south side of Connemara Trail, through the City park
from Connemara Trail to Street 14, on Street 14 from Connemara Trail and County Road 42, and on
Street 17 from Connemara Trail north to Street 16.
Wetlands
There are no wetlands located on this site.
Tree Preservation
The majority of the site is currently being used as agriculture and is devoid of trees. There is only one area
of significant tree growth that will be affected by this preliminary plat, a windrow located approximately in
line with the Met Council sanitary sewer easement. The applicant has provided a tree tally that indicates
there are no heritage trees located on the site and no significant trees of a desirable species. It is anticipated
all the existing trees will be removed from the site and the developer has prepared a tree replacement plan
that meets the ordinance requirement.
Storm wa ter Management
The stormwater management is proposed by a series of stormwater ponds and infiltration basins. This
concept is generally acceptable to the City Engineer, but some changes will be required within the final
construction plans to meet City standards. The revised plans will need to be reviewed and approved by the
City Engineer before the City Council can approve final plats providing buildable lots.
Additional Public Works Comments
The City Engineer has prepared a memorandum of comments regarding the preliminary plat and is an
attachment to this executive summary. Most of the topics within the memo have been discussed in the
previous sections of this executive summary, but the memo provides greater detail of the City's requirement
for the developer and the developer's engineer.
Phasing
Arcon has submitted a final plat that would divide the property into outlots for the ownership of the
individual builders or organization. This outlot final plat would not create any buildable lot and would not
require subdivision agreement, but would allow the recording of the master development plan planned unit
development agreement. It is anticipated that the outlot final plat will be before the City Council during
their November 23 meeting.
The first phase of development is expected to be from Lennar townhouse development on the west side of
Akron Avenue. The initial phase may be as little as 50 units which may begin construction in 2008, but to
date Lennar and Acton have been unwilling to submit a deposit for a feasibility study. One major issue of
discussion is what roads would need to be constructed with the first phase of development. Arcon and
Lennar are proposing that only Street 14 be constructed to provide an access to County Road 42. Staff is
unwilling to agree to this proposal because the intersection of Street 14 and County Road 42 is only a'/4
access which prevents left turns from Street 14 to east bound County Road 42.
Staff proposes that the initial development would require the construction of Street 14 and Connemara Trail
from Street 14 to Akron Avenue. Staff would recommend that Akron Avenue would not be reconstructed
as a part of the initial development, but since Akron Avenue is a county road, Dakota County would need to
agree to not reconstruct Akron Avenue at this time. This arrangement would be limited to the development
of the Lennar townhouse buildings that front onto Street 9, Street 10 or Street 19. Any other development
on the east side of Akron Avenue would require the complete construction of Connemara Trail from its
current end in Bloomfield to Akron Avenue and the reconstruction of Akron Avenue. Any development on
the west side of Akron Avenue would require the construction of Connemara Trail from Akron Avenue to
the western edge of the plat and the reconstruction of Akron Avenue.
RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends that the Planning Commission recommend approval of the rezoning, planned unit
development master development plan, and preliminary plat for Prestwick Place.

PLANNING COMMISSION REGULAR MEETING
JULY 24, 2007
5.c. 07-26-PP, 07-27-ZA, 07-28-PUD Prestwick Place Preliminary Plat. Atcon
Development, Inc. has submitted applications for approval of a Preliminary Plat, Rezoning and
Planned Unit Development Master Development Plan for approximately 285 acres north of
County Road 42, 205 of which are west of Akron Ave and 80 of which are east of Akron Ave.
The development will include approximately 235 acres of residential development and 50 acres of
commercial development. Senior Planner Zweber explained that the purpose of this public
hearing is to provide a general overview of the project to the Planning Commissioners and the
public, but staff is recommending continuance of the applications until additional details can be
addressed by the applicant. The plans that the developer has submitted to the City need revisions
before a formal recommendation can occur, but staff has elected to bring this draft proposal
before the Planning Commission and the public to discuss a number of big picture issues so that
appropriate plan changes can be made to reflect the Commission's direction.
Based on the Planning Commission discussion, the developer will need to revise the plans before
the August 28 meeting in anticipation of a formal recomrendation of the Planning Commission.
Prestwick Place will only be put on the August 28 meeting if they have satisfactorily addressed the
issues raised at tonight's meeting and within staff memorandums. Mr. Zweber reviewed the
recommended revisions that the developer should make before the August 28 meeting.
Mr. Zweber reviewed the site plan, the proposed zoning, and the proposed housing styles.
He presented five questions that need to be answered:
1. Should the size of the single family lots next to Bloomfield be expanded to 80 foot wide
lots?
2. Should the City allow the use of sheet metal roofing for residential uses?
3. Is the park too small for the amenities included?
4. Should additional private amenities be included comparable to other Planned Unit
Developments such as Everrnoor, Harmony and the CDA site?
5. Should higher levels of architecture be expected from houses and townhouses visible
from major public streets such as Connemara Trail and Akron Avenue?
Applicant, Rick Packer, Arcon Development, approached the Commission. Also present
wereKari Gill from Dakota County CDA, Jay Liberacki from Lennar, and Steve Ach from
Centex Homes. Mr. Packer stated that Arcon Development's only outstanding issue is the
rezoning of the commercial area. He stated they are currently working on the parks with the
Parks Commission.
Steve Ach, Centex Homes, approached the Commission. He stated Centex Homes has about
six issues they would like to discuss. First issue is the lot sizes and setbacks along the
Bloomfield development. The largest houseprint is 56 feet wide. They would need a 5 foot
setback in order to allow the homes they would like. Mr. Ach stated they tried to provide some
mitigation of having landscaping along the rear yards to compliment the residents along the west
side. He stated with 72 foot size lots, they are not going to build less of a home and they can
still build 3 car garages. Chairperson Messner asked if the 56 foot wide houseprint includes a 3
car garage. Mr. Ach stated that it does. Chairperson Messner then asked how the elevation of
the new lots compared with the existing lots in the Bloomfield development. Mr. Ach replied
that he believed the new lots were a little higher in elevation and that Centex Homes plans on
trying to match the grade and possibly place a berm between the lots. Mr. Ach stated their
second issue was the use of metal for roofing. He passed out an additional elevation for the
Commission to view and stated that Centex can provide more information on the metal roofing
if requested. Mr. Ach stated their third item to point out to the Commission was with respect
to the area planned for the 55+ age group. Centex Homes changed the plan from an attached 3
unit building to small lots with detached homes. Mr. Ach stated they have explored the market
and found a stronger preference for detached homes. The building change will be brought to
the August meeting, together with a more detailed plan on the amenities provided in that area
consisting of a social gathering area with a trail, fireplace and grilling facilities. The fourth item
Mr. Ach wanted to see discussed was the pedestrian systems throughout the development to
Connemara and out to Akron. The fifth issue was the setback requirement of 7.5 feet in the
development with 56 and 51 foot wide lots. Mr. Ach stated that the homes in those areas will
not have any opportunity for expansion. The 7.5 setback will ensure 15 feet between buildings
as opposed to the 5-10 setbacks. The final issue Mr. Ach spoke of pertains to the rezoning in
the active adult area. With the change from the attached 3 unit buildings to the single detached
buildings, the zoning designation should be R-2 rather than R-3 as originally planned.
Jay Liberacki, representing Lennar approached the Commission. He stated Lennar has two
issues they would like to discuss: amenities and architecture. Mr. Liberacki stated when they
build amenities with developments, they have two primary needs: tot areas and dog exercise
areas. He stated they did have a trail planned within the greenbelt in the west side development
which was taken out due to stormwater issues. Those issues have been resolved. Several of the
asphalt areas will be replaced with green space. Mr. Liberacki pointed out some architectural
details on some elevations. Mr. Zweber shared his concern with the ends of the back-to-back
buildings facing the public streets.
Rick Packer of Arcon Development spoke again and stated his appreciation to the Commission
for allowing this item to be presented in pieces while some of the details are worked out.
Chairperson Messner opened the public hearing at 8:31p.m.
Dave Durig2n,14160 Atwood Court, owns property on the eastern edge of the Bloomfield
development. He stated his concerns about the proposed 72 foot lots and whether or not the
elevation difference between the lots will cause drainage into his lot. He stated he would like to
see the same association standards as in the Bloomfield development so there is a smooth
transition between neighborhoods.
Jeff Geske-Peer, 14148 Atwood Court, approached the Commission. He encourages 80 foot
lots because otherwise the plan looks crowded. He would like to see a neighborhood out his
backyard that is similar to his, keeping in mind the future marketability of his home. Mr. Geske-
Peer stated he is aware of elevation differences and he is concerned there will be drainage into
his yard. He suggested a berm between the developments. Mr. Geske-Peer also mentioned the
grove of trees on the eastern side of the development and that he's heard those trees will not be
kept. He would like those trees to remain if possible because they block the lights of the
refinery.
There were no further public comments.
MOTION by Schultz to continue the Public Hearing to the August 28, 2007, meeting.
Second by Howell.
Ayes: 4. Nays: None. Motion approved. Public hearing was continued.
Chairperson Messner asked Mr. Zweber where the grove of trees were located the resident was
referring to. Mr. Zweber pointed out where the trees are located and stated that none of the
trees are specified as heritage trees and actually are types of trees that do not last long.
Chairperson Messner then began discussions on each issue that needed to be addressed before
the next meeting on August 28, 2007.
With respect to whether or not the size of the single family lots next to Bloomfield be expanded
to 80 foot wide lots, Commissioner Schultz asked if there has been similar requests from other
neighborhoods. Mr. Zweber replied that there has been a couple but with unique circumstances
such as the amount of trees on the lots. Mr. Zweber clarified that it is not the entire area of 72
foot lots to consider making 80 foot lots, but only the homes next to the Bloomfield
development. Commissioner Howell stated she would like to see the 80 foot lots on the western
line. Chairperson Messner agreed that 80 foot lots would provide a smoother transition between
the developments. Mr. Ach provided that 72 foot lots with 10 foot setback would not allow 2
car garages, but 80 foot lots can retain 10 foot setbacks.
On the matter of metal roofing, Chairperson Messner reiterated from previous meetings on the
subject of metal roofing that the Commission had preferred that metal only be used for accents.
Commissioner Howell stated her main concern with large amounts of flat surface that were
metal would cause insurance rates to rise if there was damage from a hail storm. Chairperson
Messner stated he was open to the idea but the Commission would need to see more
information before amending the City code on allowed roofing materials.
Chairperson Messner stated his agreement in allowing setbacks of 7.5 feet on each side in the 56
and 51 foot lots. The other Commissioners agreed.
With respect to parks and other amenities, Chairperson Messner stated he would like to see
more detail on the reserved Outlot. He is pleased with the trails, dog areas and tot areas. He
stated he would like to see a central park area on the western side.
Regarding the architectural areas that are open to public view, Chairperson Messner stated he
would like see the end elevations of those buildings at the next meeting.
With respect to the zoning designation of the commercial area, Rick Packer of Arcon
Development stated that they are not requesting the PUD part of the zoning of the commercial
area. They are requesting the C-4 zoning so they can give the prospective commercial entities an
idea of what will be allowed there. Mr. Zweber stated that in order to grant zoning, the City
needs to see a proposed concept. Ms. Lindquist further clarified that the whole project came in
as a PUD, so staff expected the commercial area to be presented as a PUD. Mr. Packer again
stated he would like just the C-4 zoning first and then come back with a PUD when there is a
plan.
There was no further discussion on the issues.

PLANNING COMMISSION REGULAR MEETING
AUGUST 28, 2007
5.a. 07-26-PP, 07-27-ZA, 07-28-PUD Prestwick Place Commercial Area Zoning. Senior
Planner Zweber presented this item. Atcon Development has submitted applications for
approval of a Preliminary Plat, Rezoning and Planned Unit Development Master Development
Plan for approximately 285 acres north of County Road 42. At their July 24 meeting, the
Planning Commission discussed with Arcon a number of issues that would need to be revised
within the plan including the additional information needed to approve a rezoning of the
commercial area. Staff requests direction fiom the Planning Commission regarding the potential
commercial area regulations for Prestwick Place. Mr. Zweber further explained what
commercial businesses the City would allow in that area and what uses could go on either outlot
within the commercial area. Mr. Zweber stated a couple of changes Arcon has requested.
Commissioner Schwartz asked how much square footage a Super Target has and Mr. Zweber
replied about 90,000 square feet and could be accomodated on the east side commercial area.
Chairperson Messner inquired how much square footage in a Kohls department store and Mr.
Zweber stated the Kohls store in Apple Valley is approximately 48,000 square feet.
Chairperson Messner stated he approves the reduction of the east side minimum square footage
requirement to 60,000 square feet and also approves the request to be able to switch the
standards from one side of the area to the other. The other Commission members were in
agreement
With respect to the outside storage area, Chairperson Messner stated that most materials
involved with stores like Home Depot and Lowes are contained inside the building. He stated
his preference, given the residential density of the area, is to leave the limitation to 20,000 square
feet as initially proposed. Chairperson Messner stated he would need to see the proposed
project before allowing more than 20,000 square feet. The other Commission members were in
agreement.
The Applicant, Rick Packer of Arcon Development, approached the Commission. Mr. Packer
stated he would like to have as much flexibility with the 45,000 square feet as possible. He
would like to look at uses that are oriented to the neighborhood or surrounding development.
He stated he does not see commercial development occurring on this site for quite some time.
Mr. Packer pointed out that the most important thing that a big box business will be dependent
on is at least a three-quarter access on Akron and the County has yet to agree to it. If the access
is not approved, development may be further delayed. However, Mr. Packer stated that going
forward with the commercial rezoning will help in marketing the property.
Chairperson Messner stated he would like to see some flexibility within the 45,000 square feet
requirement but agrees there should be some type of major anchor within that area. He stated
that whatever the combination of square footage, there needs to be a minimum threshold to
have an anchor in that space. Chairperson Messner suggested a hotel could be added to the
acceptable uses.

REGULAR PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING
SEPTEMBER 11, 2007
5.a. 07-26-PP, 07-27-ZA, 07-28-PUD Prestwick Place Preliminary Plat. Arcon Development
has submitted applications for approval of a Preliminary Plat, Rezoning and Planned Unit
Development Master Development Plan for approximately 285 acres north of County Road 42.
The Planning Commission discussed with Arcon a number of issues that would need to be revised
within the plan. Arcon was not able to make these revisions in time for staff to review the plans
before tonight's Planning Commission meeting. This is a continuation of the public hearing
opened at the meeting on July 24, 2007, and further continued on August 28, 2007.
Mr. Zweber highlighted the changes to the plan since the meeting on July 24, 2007. One item to
discuss is the requested rezoning of the various areas. Mr. Zweber went through each area and
details that need to be discussed. The areas include the Dakota County CDA townhomes and
apartments, the Arcon commercial property, Arcon single family residential, and Lennar
townhouses.
Commissioner Howell asked if there was any type of buffering between the single family and
multi -family housing. Mr. Zweber replied the applicant does provide additional landscaping
beyond the trees on the street, but the majority of the buffering is provided through the
landscaping around the actual units. He also stated that not a lot of focus was put on the
landscaping in that area since it is assumed that people who buy the single family homes there
should realize there are multi -family homes across the street.
Commissioner Schwartz asked whether or not the townhouses have two car garages. Mr. Zweber
replied yes, with the exception of the Dakota County CDA townhomes.
Applicant, Rick Packer, Arcon Development, approached the Commission and stated his
appreciation of the extra time allowed to present their item. With respect to the architectural
control of the single family homes, Mr. Packer stated Arcon did not think of the architectural
guidelines that he submitted as the City Code. He further stated that Arcon would agree with
using half brick on the front of homes and a 7:12 roof pitch, with the exception of houses with
porches. In that event, Arcon would install brick on the front of the garage rather than placing
half brick behind a porch where it would not be seen. Mr. Packer wanted to clarify what was
meant by Arcon being required to maintain the stormwater basins. If the City was requiring
Arcon to maintain the landscaping, that would be acceptable. But Arcon would resist maintaining
the actual stormwater infrastructure once the landscaping is established.
Chairperon Messner also asked for clarification on the stormwater maintenance. Project Engineer
Dawley responded that within the subdivision agreement, the City's role would be set forth in
maintaining the stormwater structures. However, the City should not have to replace each tree
that may die or pick up garbage every spring. Mr. Dawley stated it will be set forth in the
subdivision agreement that the City will be responsible for maintaining the stormwater
infrastructure, but any other aesthetics of the property will be the responsibility of the
homeowner's association.
Jay Liberacki, with Lennar Corporation, approached the Commission to discuss three issues
pointed out by staff The first issue was with Condition #7 regarding additional landscaping.
Mr. Liberacki agreed with the adding more landscaping along County Road 42 where homes abut
the highway. However, he stated he does not agree with more landscaping in the outlet away
from the units where the focus should be on foundation plantings rather than trees in the outlot.
With respect to additional landscaping between the townhomes and parks, Mr. Liberacki stated
that Lennar is contributing significantly to upgrade those parks so those areas will be attractive
viewing areas. He stated he does not agree with additional screening to prevent residents to be
able to view those areas. Mr. Liberacki added that the last area, Outlet F, will have attractive
architecture that should not be screened from public view.
The second issue was with respect to Condition #9, the treatment of guest parking at the end of
the private driveways. Mr. Liberacki stated that this practice has been successful in other
communities. Mr. Liberacki stated Lennar had previously connected the driveways with guess
parking but redesigned that feature while working with the fire department. It would be possible
to go back to that design if the City so required. With respect to the tot lot requirement in
Condition # 12, Lennar would agree with including a tot lot on the west side in the outlet with a
connecting trail but would then expect a tot lot in the park Lennar is contributing to with park
dedication fees. Mr. Liberacki stated that gazebos are not very often used although they are
attractive structures. Lennar would prefer to use a larger play area than a gazebo. With respect to
the trail system request on the east side, Mr. Liberacki stated that Lennar did not intend that trail
to be an integral part of the city's trail system, but rather an inner private trail for residents. Mr.
Liberacki stated there should be a sidewalk on the side of Street 17 to satisfy the City's need to
connect the trailways.
Mr. Liberacki further stated that with respect to Condition #13 requiring Lennax to submit a
playground structure plan to staff is acceptable to Lennar, but the part that states the City would
review and approve the structure for age appropriateness does not seem fair. Mr. Liberacki stated
that Lennar works with a vendor who specializes in playground structures and are the best judge
of age appropriate structures. Mr. Liberacki stated that he does not feel it appropriate for staff to
have the power to veto the designed submitted by Lennar's vendor without understanding the
buyer's profile as the vendor does. In closing, Mr. Liberacki stated that Lennar looks forward to
building in the neighborhood and believes they will become an asset to the City of Rosemount.
Chairperson Messner asked to view the end unit profile of the single townhomes. A discussion
took place as to the architectural details on the end of the units and the discrepancies between the
photographs and the watercolors. Chairperson Messner stated he would prefer to see some
architectural features that break up a plain wall on the end of the unit. Chairperson Messner stated
he agrees to some level that there doesn't necessarily need to be full screening at the end of the
units from the parks, just mainly along the roadways.
Chairperson Messner asked Mr. Liberacki about the type of parking where 65% cannot back up
and whether or not this type has been successful in other communities. Mr. Liberack replied yes,
and that guests should be able to back into and out of the residents' driveway. Chairperson
Messner asked whether or not residents would be able to back out of their driveways if guests are
parked at the end. Mr. Liberacki replied yes and that the only complaints Lennar has received on
this issue is when residents park their own cars at the end for long period of times. He further
stated that the driveways could be designed a couple of feet wider to allow for back up space or
the spaces could be placed off to the side rather than at the end which would make it a higher
percentage. He stated this has worked in other communities. Mr. Zweber informed the
Commission it would not be acceptable if additional parking reduced the amount of open space.
Chairperson Messner agreed that Lennat would need to meet the 20% open space requirement.
Chairperson Messner stated that he does not have a problem with some of the parking as designed
by Lennar but would prefer to see a greater percentage of it, not necessarily just at the end but
more allowance for residents to back out of the driveways if there are cars parked at the end.
Commissioner Schwartz asked Mr. Liberacki what demographics Lennar is looking for stating her
concern with the high number of inside units. Mr. Liberacki replied that the demographics is
changing where typically these homes 3-4 years ago were purchased by first time home buyers with
small children. Now, he stated, that with the cost of new housing and current foreclosure rates,
residents are beginning to stay longer and now single parents are included in the buyers.
Commissioner Schwartz stated that if buyers are evolving to an older family entity with older
children, there should also be basketball courts and additional parking for teenagers with cars. Mr.
Liberacki replied he did not feel basketball courts would be a welcome amenity adjacent to the
home units, but rather in a park further away where older kids can ride bikes to or walk to without
accompaniment of an adult. Commissioner Schwartz then asked if the center units are equally as
popular as the end units. Mr. Liberacki replied that no, the center units are not as popular and
they will be priced accordingly.
With the continuation of the public hearing, Chairperson Messner invited the public to come
forward with comments. There were no public comments.
MOTION by Palda to close the public hearing. Second by Schwartz.
Ayes: 4. Nays: None. Motion approved. Public hearing was closed at 7:40p.m.
With respect to Condition #12 and the private amenities on the west side, Mr. Zweber stated that
the common lot may be a more appropriate option for additional amenities although there is a gas
line and retaining wall in the area. Also, the trail could occur in a wider arc than suggested by the
applicant. Mr. Zweber stated both issues are legitimate to explore further.
With respect to the Condition #9 off street requirement, Mr. Zweber stated that if there is parking
at the end, it should be sufficiently far enough away from the residents' driveways and in some
instances, there is a back-up area provided. Mr. Zweber further stated he would be reluctant to let
the percentage go lower than 25%. Chairperson Messner stated he is uncomfortable with the
wording of Condition #9 and wondered if it required the elimination of stalls that do not allow
vehicles to backup. Mr. Zwebet replied that yes, that was the intent of the condition.
Commissioner Schwartz stated she was concerned about the precedent set and wondered where
else in Rosemount this type of parking is used. Mr. Zweber replied that it used on a very limited
basis in Harmony, possibly 12 stalls for the 300 townhouse units. Commissioner Schwartz stated
her concern with the quality of life for residents to live there with it being such a crowded and
congested area. She recommended staying with the low numbers as in the Harmony area.
Commissioner Howell agreed that it would be very difficult to back out in the crowded areas as
proposed. Commissioner Schwartz recommended the 10% usage equal to Harmony and
Chairperson Messner agreed to modify Condition #9 to allow for no more than 10%.
Chairperson Messner stated Condition #13 should be modified to delete the words "age
appropriate" with respect to the City review and approval of playground structures.
Chairperson Messner then addressed Condition #7 with respect to additional landscaping. He
stated he agreed with requirement for additional landscaping on top of the berm all along County
Road 42 to where it meets Street 14. Along Street 14 to Street 9, Chairperson Messner agreed to
with additional landscaping to Street 9. Chairperson Messner agreed to strike the requirement
along the common lot 29 boundary with the City Park. With respect to the south side of the
berm on common lot 107 along the Connemara Trail frontage, Mr. Zweber suggested 2-4 feet of
additional landscaping to fill in the gap along Connemara. The Commission was m agreement.
Before the motion was made by the Commission, Mr. Zweber pointed out that if written
approval of the'/< access on Akron is not received, the C4 rezoning of the commercial area will
be withdrawn.

out the public right of way line along the street, the proposed trail, sidewalk on the north side
and west of development. Staff is requesting the trail through the development be connected to
the other city trails. Chairperson Messner stated he sees the trail within the development as an
internal sidewalk and that a connection to the trail should be along the street not through the

Interchange ofAnchorFacilityRequirements
The anchor facility requirements may be exchanged between the east and west commercial
areas. If a 60,000 square foot big box retailer is provided on the west commercial area, then
the anchor facility requirement from the west commercial area would then apply to the east
commercial area. The limit of 1.5 acre or smaller lots and auto orientated businesses are no
interchangeable between the two commercial areas.
Common Architectural Themes
Each of the two commercial areas will adopt a common architectural theme throughout the
development of each side. The east commercial area and west commercial area may have
different architectural themes from each other. It is anticipated that the architectural theme
will be established by the anchor facility on each side of the development. An exception to
the common architectural theme would be considered for the limited number of lots under
1.5 acres for a single tenant that has an adopted corporate architecture.

RE: Arcon Development Preliminary Plat Review
SUBMITTAL:
Prepared by Westwood Engineering, the Prestwick Place Preliminary Plans for preliminary plat
review, dated September 19, 2007, were received September 19, 2007. The following review
comments were generated from the following documents included in the submittal:
1. Preliminary Plans, dated June 27, 2007, revised September 19, 2007, comprised of Existing
Conditions, Development Plan/Preliminary Plat, Site Plan, Grading Plan, Utility Plan,
Landscape Plan, Centerline Profiles and Details.
2. Preliminary Grading Plan 50-Scale Supplemental Set, dated June 27, 2007, revised September
19, 2007.
3. Preliminary Storm Water Runoff Calculations, dated September 19, 2007.
4. Proposed Drainage Area Maps —North and South, dated June 20, 2007, revised September
19, 2007; Existing and Proposed Drainage Area Maps -Southwest Corner, dated June 20,
2007.
In a response memo dated September 19, 2007, the applicant's engineer has responded to all
comments previously made by the Engineering Department in the September 6, 2007 Engineering
Memo. Outstanding items identified to be addressed during future submittals for final plat
approval, final design, or with the developer's agreement, have been retained in this memo for future
reference, even if acknowledged in the applicant's response memo. Items specifically addressed
have been removed from the comments below.
GENERAL COMMENTS
The storm water management plan for the ponds water quantity and quality shall require
additional analysis to meet the City requirements for the Prestwick Place development. The
storm water management plan will require the CSAH 42 drainage areas to be included in the
analysis. The plan will also require some modifications with respect to interim pond
locations and providing proposed pond outlets from all the basins on site to the storm sewer
trunkline. Staff will continue to work with the applicant's engineer to resolve these issues
prior to future final plat approvals and final grading plan approval.
2. Drainage and utility easements shall be incorporated into the final plat as deemed necessary
upon review of the final grading plan at the discretion of the City Engineer. As currently
submitted, all drainage and utility easements necessary to encompass the storm sewer
systems and emergency overland overflow routes have not been depicted. Specific locations
have been forwarded to the applicant's engineer.
3. The final grading plan shall require modifications to incorporate access routes to the ponds
and outlet control structures, address the use of slopes in excess of 4:1, and ensure minimum
freeboard requirements to roadway catch basins. Specific locations have been forwarded to
the applicant's engineer.
4. All naturally vegetated areas within pond and infiltration areas are to be privately owned and
maintained. The parameters of this arrangement will be stated in the developer's agreement,
approved in conjunction at the time of final plat approval. Appropriate plantings and native
vegetation within pond and infiltration areas shall be identified on the landscape plans.
Letter of credit or other appropriate form of security for landscaping will be necessary
throughout the maintenance period.
5. Conservation easements will be required over all pond and infiltration areas, shall encompass
all naturally vegetated areas, and shall be delineated with appropriate signage indicating that
the area is to be left undisturbed.
6. Limited information regarding proposed streets and utilities within the Dakota County CDA
multi -family areas was provided. Future, more detailed submittals will necessitate further
review and will generate additional comments and requests for revisions at the time of Final
Development Plan and Site Plan approval for specific areas. Comments contained herein
specific to the Dakota County CDA site should be considered as conditional for final plat
approval for the CDA site and not a requirement for the initial consideration for Prestwick
Place final plat approval as submitted.
7. A street lighting plan shall be submitted for review and approval at the time of final plat
approval.
STREET LAYOUT AND ACCESS COMMENTS:
1. Residential development east of Akron Avenue is limited to 200 units before the proposed
east -west roadway on the Chadwick property will need to be constructed to provide a
second access route for the Dakota County CDA/Lennar area. Construction of this access
will necessitate Chadwick cooperation.
2. Street 20 would need to be constructed to provide alternative access for the commercial area
in the southeast of the development. As currently depicted in the plans, construction of this
public road would necessitate cooperation of the property owners to the east, or realignment
to the west.
3. Street 17 widths shall be approved conditional upon review of projected traffic volumes and
the need for additional roadway and right-of-way widths to accommodate turn lanes at
Connemara Trail and Street 16.
4. Outlots adjacent to Connemara Trail right-of-way will be maintained at a width of 10 feet to
preclude the installation of fences at the edge of roadway right-of-way in areas where the
right-of-way width is 85 feet.
5. Future submittals for the CDA area will address the fact that the northern street access of
the CDA high density multi -family area to Street 17 shall intersect at a more perpendicular
angle, as well as line up to oppose Private Drive 40 or 41. Other streets within the CDA
area need to meet these same criteria.
STREET DESIGN:
1. All 24' F-F private drives shall be signed "No Parking —Fire Lane" or "No Parking by Order
of the Fire Marshall" on both sides of the roadway.
2. As recommended in the developer's soil boring report prepared by Braun Intertec, all clay
material or other unsuitable material will be removed within the street sections during
roadway grading. This shall be specifically noted on the final grading plan.
3. During the feasibility design phase for roadways, additional boring information will be
necessary within street rights -of -way.
4. Temporary cul-de-sacs will be installed as required by the City Engineer at phase limits.
5. Gas pipelines will need to be potholed, surveyed, and elevations depicted in construction
plan roadway plans and profiles.
TRAILS AND SIDEWALKS:
1. The trail in Block 6 appears to have a profile grade of 10 percent or greater. The trail in the
park west of Infiltration P18 to Connemara Trail crosses a 4:1 slope. Trail grades included
the final grading plan shall be modified to meet accessibility standards.
2. All trails shall be constructed with a 2% cross -slope to promote adequate drainage across the
trail.
STORM WATER:
General Comments
1. The storm water management plan will require modification to meet the City requirements.
Staff will continue to work with the applicant's engineer to identify and revise specific design
issues prior to final plat approval. A summary of major issues follows:
a. The storm water calculations for pond P22 and Infiltration P22 simulate infiltration
and are therefore inaccurate. The design calculations should be modified and
resubmitted without infiltration. It appears that the pond and infiltration area will
require expansion to store the runoff from the 100-year 24-hour event below the
overflow to the north and the street 16 road profile. (CDA)
b. The highwater elevation for Pond 20 and Inf P20 provides less than 1 foot of
freeboard to the Akron Avenue low point catch basin rim elevations. The pond
design will require additional storage below the Akron Avenue low point to ensure
adequate freeboard.
c. The Pond P5 highwater elevation provides less than 1 foot of freeboard to the
Connemara Trail low point catch basin rim elevations. The pond design will require
additional storage below the Connemara Trail low point to ensure adequate
freeboard.
d. The south drainage area map indicates that the drainage from CSAH 42 will be
directed on -site. The applicant's engineer has indicated that further study of the
CSAH 42 stormwater system and areas south is needed to include these areas.
e. The south drainage map does not show how the CSAH 42 runoff west of the street
14 connection will be addressed in the design. The existing drainage pattern of the
CSAH 42 ditch is from west to east and should be accommodated in the design.
Although mentioned in the response memo, a culvert necessary under Street 14 is
not shown and will need to be included in the design.
2. The CDA site tributary to Pond P22A does not include an infiltration area. The CDA site
design should include an infiltration area adjacent to Pond P22 A. The pond or infiltration
area should include a hydraulic connection to the trunkline in Connemara Trail. Stormwater
management design revisions for the CDA site shall be conditions for final plat approval of
the CDA site and not considered conditions for approval of the initial Prestwick Place final
plat.
3. The storm sewer system layout willrequire modification during feasibility/final design to
incorporate hydraulic connection to the storm sewer trunkline in Connemara Trail from
Pond Pl, Pond P22 or Inf P22, Pond P22A, and Pond P23 or Inf P23. The preliminary
Ponds will require hydraulic connections with overflows to the storm sewer trunkluie. The
plans should indicate how the proposed overflows from all of the ponds on site will be
conveyed to the storm sewer tnmkline. The applicant's engineer has stated that future
submittals will incorporate these required connections. The drawdown structure for the
Outlot I pond and infiltration system (Pond P23, In£ P23) been added to the plan to allow
for drawdown to the area north of the ouflot, is reliant upon future development to the
north, is not consistent on the existing sheet flow drainage patterns, and is not acceptable. A
temporary solution may be feasible, however hydraulic connections to the storm trunk line
for all ponds is ultimately required and alternatives will be studied in the feasibility report.
4. Final design and construction plans for Street 20 and Connemara Trail will address either
extension of the storm sewer trunkline stub to the east or termination of street construction
to the west to reduce the amount of street removal at time of future extension to the east.
GRADING PLAN COMMENTS
1. Slopes throughout the plan exceed the maximum grading slope of 1:4. Slopes in these areas
shall be flattened to a maximum 1:4 slope. Specific locations noted as missing information
have been forwarded to the applicant's engineer.
2. All emergency overflow (EOF) elevations and routes shall be shown. Specific locations
noted as missing information have been forwarded to the applicant's engineer.
3. The Lot 16, Block 4 building pad is 3' below the emergency overflow elevation between Lot
14-15. The ponding of water against the structure prior to overflow is not be allowed and
the grading plan in this area shall be revised.
4. All pond grading shall include a maintenance/access road per the Engineering Guidelines.
Access route to the maintenance bench for Pond P5 shall be included in pond grading. The
bench between P5 and Inf P5 should be 10 feet in width. The access route from P5 to
Connemara Trail should be modified to meet an 8% maximum grade.
5. Pond P18 grading shall include an access road to the maintenance bench from Street 14.
6. The grading plan should include an access route to the storm sewer trunkline outlet control
structure from Pond 1864 of the Bloomfield development. The proposed structure rim
elevation is preliminarily proposed at 920.0, and the structure should be shown on the storm
sewer plan.
7. The Pond P18 grading plan should include an emergency overflow section to the infiltration
area P18D.
8. The location of Pond P20 and Inf P20 should not conflict with the Oudot J entrance from
Akron Avenue.
9. The retaining wall shown southeast of Block 7 adjacent to the gas pipeline appears to be
greater than 4 feet in height based on the contours. Construction plans signed by a
registered engineer shall be submitted to the City for review and approval on all proposed
retaining walls greater than 4 feet in height and a fence. Top of wall elevation and bottom of
wall elevations at maximum height shall be indicated on the final grading plan for all
retaining walls.
10. To be addressed with future submittals for the CDA area, the design appears to include a
retaining wall that will be located with the drainage and utility easement adjacent to Pond
P22. The construction of retaining walls in a drainage and utility easement are not allowed as
outlined in the Engineering Guidelines. This wall also appears to be greater than 4 feet in
height (see previous comment).
11. Show gas line elevations, especially in vicinity of proposed utility and roadway crossings on
final plans.
12. Add notes staring recommendations of the soil boring report for grading within roadways
(i.e. removal of all clays and other unsuitable materials).
13. The existing CSAH 42 storm sewer should be shown on the plans with size, pipe type, and
inverts.
14. The Connemara Trail storm sewer does not appear to be adequate based on design criteria
for spread and run by. It is anticipated that additional catch basins will be required to meet
the design requirements during final design.
15. An easement of appropriate width should be shown for the western end of the trunk storm
sewer line through the exception parcel in the southwest comer of the development area.
The trunk line alignment should be shifted north and easement provided within the
development if easements can not be acquired from the exception property owner. Final
plat approval for this area will be conditional upon the acquisition of this easement by the
developer.
WATERMAIN:
1. Waternain sizing and stub extensions for future development will be examined during
preparation of the feasibility report and will correspond with water system planning efforts
in the CSAH 42/Akron Avenue AUAR and the Comprehensive Water Plan, as well as to
ensure fire flow adequacy per current ISO Fire Flow Ratings. Hydrant locations will be per
the Fire Marshall's review and approval.
SANITARY SEWER:
1. Sanitary sewer design will be finalized during preparation of the feasibility report.
2. In the CSAH 42/Akron Avenue AUAR, areas east of Akron are shown as served by the 24"
trunk line west of Akron, which may necessitate sewer crossings of Akron Avenue not
currently shown.
PRELIMINARY PLAT:
1. The storm sewer trunkline crossing Block 6 is anticipated to be approximately 30'-35' in
depth which requires an easement 60'-70' wide. The total width between lots is between 38'
to 58'to the trunkline. The distance from the lots along the trunkline corridor does not meet
the 1' of width on either side of the pipe for each foot of depth of the storm sewer criteria
for easement widths. The applicant's engineering response memo requested a variance from
the easement width requirements, however this variance request is denied on the basis that
excavation necessary to perform future maintenance would be too close to proposed
structures in Blocks 6 and 7. An alternate alignment exists via Streets 19 and Street 9, and
should be used for the storm tr uildine if an easement 60'-70' wide cannot be provided
between lots in the current alignment.
2. The drainage and utility easements accommodating storm sewer exceeding Win depth shall
be provided or widened to an adequate width consistent with City Engineering Guidelines.
Specific locations have been forwarded to the applicant's engineer.
3. The drainage and utility easements should encompass all emergency overflow routes and
areas that will be inundated to a depth of 0.5' above the overflow elevation through out the
plat. Specific locations have been forwarded to the applicant's engineer.
4. The MCES easement width appears to be less than twice the depth. In areas in close
proximity to structures (i.e. Block 34), verify that MCES has declined the opportunity to
increase easement width. The applicant's engineering response memo states that the
applicant has not yet discussed the project with MCES. Prior to final plat it must be
demonstrated that the project and associated impacts have adequately been communicated
to MCES.
S. An easement of appropriate width should be shown for the western end of the trunk storm
sewer line through the exception parcel in the southwest. The trunk line alignment shall be
shifted north and easement provided within the development if easements can not be
acquired from the exception property owner.
6. Items such as parking lots, private drives, shown as encroaching within private easements
(gas pipeline, MCES) will need approval by the easement holder.
7. See Existing Conditions below for discussion of existing watermain easement at east tract
line.
EXISTING CONDITIONS/SURVEY:
1. Provide more information within gas line easements (number of lines, sizes, pipe elevations).
2. The 70' wide utility easement for watermain on east tract line appears to be in conflict with
Lots 51, 56, and 90 in Block 10. This conflict should be shown on the preliminary plat and a
submittal should be made for City review illustrating an easement of appropriate width (15'-
20') to remain to encompass the existing watermain. Based on the review and approval of
this submittal information, either a portion of the existing easement can be vacated to
eliminate conflict with the lots referenced above, or the entire existing easement can be
vacated and a new easement recorded with the final plat.
LANDSCAPE PLAN:
Ownership and maintenance of boulevard trees will be the responsibility of the
homeowner's association.
2. Landscaping plans comprised of appropriate vegetation and native plantings within ponds
and infiltration areas shall be developed.
3. Additional tree removals or relocations may be determined and necessary for intersection or
sign sight distance prior to final plat approval.
4. The landscape plan should not have trees located with emergency overflow routes or over
storm sewers or other public utilities. The tree and shrub locations shall be relocated if they
are in emergency overflow routes or over utilities.
DEVELOPMENT FEES:
1. Estimated development fees (based on 2007 Fee Resolution) due with the final plat and
subdivision agreement are as follows:
• GIS Fee = $60/unit
• Trunk Sewer Area Charge = $1,075/acre
• Trunk Water Area Charge = $4,860/acre
• Trunk Stormwater Area Charge = $6,665/acre

Andy,
In the traffic impact analysis for 2030, it was shown that a partial
access (3/4) on County Road 73 approximately 1/8th mile north of CSAH
42 will not operate. The County has reviewed the information provided
by the City intending to show an interim measure could be implemented
and operate sufficiently with the Arcon development full build out and
20% of the AUAR development area generated traffic trips in 2015.
Based on the projected traffic in this study, the County will agree to
an interim partial access (3/4) on County Road 73 approximately 1/8th
mile north of CSAH 42, with the understanding by the City that this
access is not long term and will be closed at a point in the future
when deemed necessary from a safety and/or operations standpoint by the
County. The traffic analysis submitted on August 30, 2007 and
subsequent email correspondences completes the information necessary
for this determination.
The County highly recommends that the area should be planned and
developed in such a way that the future intersection of County Road 73
and Connemara Trail is the primary intersection to be utilized in the
roadway network within the Arcon development for the commercial
properties access in preparation for the 1/8th mile partial access's
future closure.
A written agreement between the County and City will be needed to
define the terms for the implementation of the interim access and the
future actions/changes to the access.
The County appreciates your efforts during this process.
