Guide Plan Designation: BP – Business Park Current Zoning: BP – Business Park Area: 21.8 Acres The Planning Commission is being asked to consider a request by McGough Development for approval of preliminary and final plats in anticipation of future development of a site located north and east of the th intersection of Highway 3 (South Robert Trail) and CSAH 46 (160 Street West). The applicant plans to construct an office warehouse building on the site. Because the Business Park zoning district allows for administrative approval of site plans that meet all the requirements of the Business Park zoning district, the applicant is seeking plat approval as the site plans are finalized. The proposed plat meets the dimensional standards for parcels in the Business Park zoning district, and staff recommends approval of the request. BACKGROUND The plat area was once occupied by Lange Gas. In 2004, extensive remediation was conducted that included the removal of 750 tons of lead-contaminated soils. The applicant conducted environmental assessments of the site with findings that do not anticipate any further remediation. The area in which the proposed plat is located was identified by the South Urban Gateway Area Review (SUGAR) as a potential area for commercial development. Based on the inquiries the City has fielded and given the context of the surrounding uses, the City adopted amendments to the Land Use and Zoning maps that changed the zoning and land use designation from commercial to business park. Since then, the City has approved a request by Frana to build a manufacturing facility across Highway 3/South Robert Trail from the subject parcel. The proposed plat encompasses most of the remaining land available for development in the vicinity. ISSUE ANALYSIS Legal Authority Legal Authority. Preliminary and final plat requests are quasi-judicial decisions for the Planning Commission. This means the Planning Commission is acting as a judge to determine if the regulations within the Comprehensive Plan, Zoning Ordinance, and Subdivision Ordinance are being followed. Generally, if the proposed preliminary and final plats meet the standards and requirements for reviewing this type of request it must be approved. Plat The applicant is proposing a plat of the site to convert the existing metes and bounds legal description into a lot and block description. The plat will contain a single lot, although depending on need, the outlot to the north of the site adjacent to Boulder Avenue may be incorporated into the subject parcel in the future. That lot combination would require review by the Planning Commission and City Council. Because the City is still in the process of acquiring that piece of land, the applicant is moving ahead with the plat as drawn. The Zoning Ordinance contains standards related to the dimensions of lots within the Business Park zoning district. There is no minimum lot depth specified in the City Code. The standards and a comparison of the proposed plat is provided in the table below. Standards related to setbacks, lot coverage, building height, etc. will be reviewed by staff during its administrative site plan review. If the final site plan falls short of any requirements of the zoning ordinance, and the standards for issuing a variance can be met, the Planning Commission will be asked to review the site plan and variance request. The applicant has indicated they will be able to meet the standards of the Business Park zoning district. Lot Standard Required Proposed Minimum Width 120 feet 580 feet Minimum Area 1 acre 21.33 acres Engineering The request was reviewed by the City Engineer, with comments provided in a memorandum included with the attachments. The main access into the site will be via two driveways along Boulder Avenue. A third access is shown in the southwest corner of the site that will make use of the existing access onto County Road 46. The primary access will be to the north along Boulder Avenue. Utilities to serve the site will be located within the extension of Boulder Avenue that will be constructed in the near future. Within the site, all utilities will be private and maintained by the property owner. The preliminary plans provided by the applicant show 4 storm sewers moving stormwater from various parts of the proposed development into the three basins on the site. The City’s engineer is requiring the applicant to update the plat to include a ten-foot drainage and utility easement along the north and east parcel boundaries. Park Dedication The parks dedication requirement for an industrial development is either 10% of the total land area or 2 cash. The City’s Parks and Recreation staff reviewed the proposed plat and is recommending a fee-in-lieu of land dedication for the proposed development. The cash dedication for the 21.8-acre development is $109,000 (2.18 acres x $50,000 per acre) CONCLUSION AND RECOMMENDATION Staff finds the proposed plat consistent with the Business Park zoning district’s lot dimension standards and is recommending approval of a preliminary and final plat for the site. This recommendation is based on the information provided by the applicant and reviewed in this memo. 3 Zoning Land Use K:\021511-000\Admin\Docs\2022.09.29 - Submittal\2022.10.11 - Preliminary Plat Review - Rosemount Industrial.docx Memorandum To: Anthony Nemcek, Senior Planner CC: Brian Erickson, City Engineer From: Tim Hanson PE, WSB Engineering Consultant Date: October 17, 2022 Re: Rosemount Industrial Addition Preliminary Plat Submittal Review Final Plat Grading and Drainage Plan Review Preliminary Utility Plan Review Landscaping Plan Review WSB File Number 021511-000 SUBMITTAL: McGough of Roseville, MN has submitted a Preliminary Plat and Final Plat named Rosemount Industrial Addition for the development of one lot in which one building is identified to be constructed. The plans submitted were prepared by Kimley-Horn of St. Paul. Review comments were generated from the Preliminary Plat submittal - not dated, received on 09-29-2022. The submittal included the following: ▪ ALTA Survey ▪ Final Plat ▪ Site Plan ▪ Grading Plan ▪ Storm Sewer Plan ▪ Utility Plan ▪ Landscape Plan EXISTING CONDITIONS Rosemount Industrial Addition is in the northeast quadrant of Trunk Highway 3 and County State Aid Highway 46 in the south-central portion Rosemount. The parent parcel consists of land utilized for agricultural purposes. Rosemount Industrial Addition is 21.8 acres in size with 0.5 acres dedicated for right-of-way. PRELIMINARY PLAT Rosemount Industrial consists of 1 lot which will be developed by McGough. All streets and infrastructure within the lot will be private. Access to the site is proposed at three driveway locations. Two driveways extend from Boulder Avenue between Project Osprey and Trunk Highway 3. The two driveways extend along the east and west sides of the building and connecting on the south side of the building. The third driveway extends to the service road to Anthony Nemcek October 17, 2022 Page 2 K:\021511-000\Admin\Docs\2022.09.29 - Submittal\2022.10.11 - Preliminary Plat Review - Rosemount Industrial.docx CSAH 46 in the southeast corner of the lot. The driveways along Boulder Avenue have adequate sight lines and distances. A total of one hundred seventy-nine parking stalls are provided primarily along the east side of the building with seventeen stalls and forty-six proof of parking stalls located on the south side of the building. The vehicle parking stalls are 9 feet wide and 20-feet deep, or 18-feet deep with bumper overhang with a 24-foot-wide drive isle. There are 40 trailer parking stalls on the east side of the building which is the loading dock side of the structure. A concrete sidewalk extends the length of the building along the west side and along the west half of the south side. A sidewalk extension also is proposed from the southerly access door to the bituminous trail adjacent to CSAH 46. 1. The wheel track for the City’s fire truck will have to be traced through the site to assure adequate accessibility for the fire apparatus. The turning radii of the truck can be obtained from the City’s Fire Marshall. 2. Pedestrian curb ramps are required at all sidewalk crossings and street access points. 3. Recommend an additional sidewalk extension north to Boulder Avenue providing access to the sidewalk along Boulder Avenue. FINAL PLAT The proposed final plat of Rosemount Industrial Addition consists of 1 lot. An existing 40-foot- wide drainage and utility easement adjacent to TH 3 is identified on the plat, and an existing 33- foot-wide highway easement is identified along the southern edge of the plat. This easement area is being platted as right-of-way. A seventeen-foot-wide private easement is also identified along the southern edge of the parcel. The existing public easements that are being platted or placed in right of way should be vacated. 4. The proposed plat does not identify drainage and utility easements along the lot line perimeter which are typical. A 10-foot drainage and utility easement needs to be platted along the north and east side of the lot. 5. A strip of land between Boulder Avenue and the northern plat line must be included in the final plat. The development Fees are indicated below based on the 2022 Schedule of Rates and Fees. ▪ Sanitary Sewer Trunk Charge: $1,075/acre ▪ Watermain Trunk Charge: $6,500/acre ▪ Storm Sewer Trunk Charge: $6,865/acre GRADING AND DRAINAGE Runoff from Rosemount Industrial Addition flows outward from the building collected by storm sewer within the parking area or out to the curb line of the parking area. Runoff is routed to 3 NURP basins located on the site. The NURP basins are in the northwest, northeast and southeast corners of the lot. Each NURP basin is adjacent to an infiltration area. The northerly NURP basins also discharge to an infiltration area located along the northerly lot line. This infiltration Area is identified to connect to the City’s interceptor trunk storm sewer. 6. There are low points and high points within the drive isle or parking lot that are not identified on the plan. 7. The high points between low points must be noted as emergency overflow locations (EOF). Rosemount standard is to have 1.5 feet of freeboard between the EOF elevation and the lowest opening of a structure. It does not appear that the current design will accommodate that requirement. Since the EOF’s will be located along the access isle, which is a paved area, the freeboard requirement could be reduced to 1.0 feet. 8. The grading plan does not propose grading over the existing public easement along the west side of the site. This easement contains a rather deep sanitary sewer extension which would not be impacted by surface sloping or grading within the easement area. Anthony Nemcek October 17, 2022 Page 3 K:\021511-000\Admin\Docs\2022.09.29 - Submittal\2022.10.11 - Preliminary Plat Review - Rosemount Industrial.docx The existing sanitary sewer structures would require adjustment if grading occurred in the easement area. 9. The proposed storm sewer system needs to be shown on the grading plan. 10. The HWL’s and NWL’s for the ponding system must be shown on the grading plan. SANITARY SEWER AND WATERMAIN – UTILITY PLAN Rosemount Industrial Addition proposes to connect to the sanitary sewer system within Boulder Avenue. The site’s sanitary sewer extends along the west side of the building extending a sewer stub at the southwest corner of the structure. The sanitary sewer proposed with Rosemount Industrial Addition is a private facility that will be maintained by the property owner. Ten-inch watermain is identified to be extended from Boulder Avenue looping around the structure and extending back to Boulder Avenue. The watermain within Rosemount Industrial Addition is a private system which will be maintained by the property owner. 11. Gate valves will be placed at the connection points to the watermain extending from Boulder Avenue. 12. Fire hydrant placement must have a maximum spacing of 300 feet. STORM SEWER Rosemount Industrial Addition extends four storm sewer systems. Two storm sewer systems are located on the east side of the building collection water from the building and the low point in the parking lot and conveying the runoff to a NURP basin. A third storm sewer system collects runoff from the south side of the building and conveys the runoff to the NURP pond in the southeast corner of the site. The fourth storm sewer system collects runoff from the west side parking lot and building conveying the runoff to the NURP basin in the northwest corner of the lot. The storm sewer systems within Rosemount Addition are private systems and will be maintained by the owner. 13. Storm sewer design and layout will be reviewed with the Surface Water Management plan submittal. SURFACE WATER MANAGEMENT The proposed Surface Water Management plan for the preliminary plat has been reviewed. Comments included in the Surface Water Management plan review shall be incorporated in the project design. LANDSCAPE PLAN The Landscape plan was not reviewed for conflicts with infrastructure as all infrastructure is privately maintained. Tree plantings should allow space for access and maintenance of proposed infrastructure. SITE LIGHTING PLAN The Site Plan identifies 8 light poles located near the two entrance off Boulder Avenue, the entrance from the CSAH 46 Service Road along the east side of the easterly parking lot. The lighting plan was not reviewed for materials, light styles, or light intensity. GENERAL Infrastructure design shall be completed in accordance with the City of Rosemount’s Engineering Guidelines and Standards. Infrastructure construction shall be completed in accordance with the latest edition of the City’s General Specifications and Standard Detail Plates for Street and Utility Construction.
