CITY OF CORCORAN
City Council Work Session Minutes
June 23, 2022 – 5:30 pm
The Corcoran City Council met on June 23, 2022, in Corcoran, Minnesota. The City Council work session
meeting was held in person and the public was present in person and remotely through electronic means using
the audio and video conferencing platform Zoom.
Mayor McKee, Councilor Bottema, and Councilor Nichols were present. Councilor Schultz and Councilor
Vehrenkamp were excused.
City Administrator Beise, Public Works Director Mattson, and Director of Public Safety Gottschalk were
present.
1.Call to Order / Roll Call
Mayor McKee called the work session to order at 5:30 pm.
2.Police Officer Recruitment and Retention
Director of Public Safety Gottschalk noted the police officer recruitment and retention is a separate but
related conversation to overall police officer compensation and incentives discussed are specific to police
officers. Director of Public Safety Gottschalk noted some of the incentives do not have wellness initiatives,
and some are incentives other police departments offer. Director of Public Safety Gottschalk reviewed
possible impacts and effects that may occur depending on Council consensus. Director of Public Safety
Gottschalk outlined the current shortage of good employees within law enforcement and noted the first goal
would be retention of the current staff with the police department and focusing on being the best, small-city
workplace as Corcoran will not likely be the highest paid wages city. Director of Public Safety Gottschalk
reviewed a recent correspondence sent to Corcoran police officers to suggest recruitment and retention
ideas. Director of Public Safety Gottschalk reviewed the correspondence indicated a paid sabbatical that
supports police officer mental health aspects and noted the City of Painesville currently has a sabbatical
program. Director of Public Safety Gottschalk noted the City’s mental health care provider regarded
sabbaticals as an option police agencies should consider for officer wellness. Director of Public Safety
Gottschalk noted mental injuries of officers and the necessity to focus on mental health support. Director of
Public Safety Gottschalk noted the sabbatical program would cycle every 4 years, for approximately 30
days for police officers, noted it takes approximately 8 days for a person to reach an initial peak recovery
period to de-stress. Director of Public Safety Gottschalk noted the next item within the correspondence was
vacation reimbursement. Director of Public Safety Gottschalk noted vacation reimbursement would
encourage officers to enjoy recreation during their time off, rather than taking the time off to work a second
job. Director of Public Safety Gottschalk noted it would be structured as a reimbursement for travel or
recreation expenses,to support mental wellness and encourage officers to connect with family members.
Director of Public Safety Gottschalk added the officer could determine whatever family trip they chose, but
would submit for approvable, reimbursable vacation expenses and included an example of $1,000 per year,
and carried over for up to three years, and could be used in conjunction if there was consideration for the
sabbatical and the vacation reimbursement. Council noted it would make sense to vary the amount based
on seniority or tenure, or rank within the force to incentivize officers. Director of Public Safety Gottschalk
noted the option as a possibility as long as there was not a wage equity issue related to age. City
Administrator Beise added additional review would be necessary and noted generally equity is based on
base pay but noted a need to verify impacts.Director of Public Safety Gottschalk noted the vacation
reimbursement would be tied to a requirement that the officer is accomplishing what the goal is for a
recreation aspect and could include a step process similar to the wage scale or something similar. Director
of Public Safety Gottschalk reviewed the additional retirement health insurance premium contribution for
retired police officers and noted the City used to pay 50 percent of the premium for retired police officers
with 15 years of service, but noted the provision was negotiated out of the contract. Director of Public
Safety Gottschalk noted frequently with law enforcement, officers retire early,as after age 55 there are
Agenda Item: 7a.
DRAFTmore injuries, and the health insurance contribution benefit would be an incentive for police officers.
Director of Public Safety Gottschalk noted the retention incentive could be structured not as an accrued
entitlement, but upon years of service. Director of Public Safety Gottschalk noted an example of $300 per
month, or $3600 a year, an officer with five years of service would have $18,000 banked. Director of Public
Safety Gottschalk noted many police departments are offering hiring bonuses of $5000 to $10,000, and
noted the health insurance contribution benefit incentive somewhat negates the one-time hiring bonus
elsewhere.Council and staff discussed the situation where an officer would leave before retirement age
and therefore would lose eligibility for the benefit.Council and staff discussed the importance of how the
benefit is structured and noted accrued benefit versus a one-time payout of benefit upon retirement.
Council and staff discussed retaining police officers, how the incentives would apply if there was a
termination of employment, separation of employment, and the necessity for legal review to for see such
circumstances. Council and staff discussed identifiable need such as healthcare, and the structure of the
benefit would be employee accrual upon retirement, with the accrual going into a Health Savings Bank or
post-retirement health insurance, not an HSA fund. City Administrator Beise noted if Council wishes to
pursue this direction, staff would need to make sure it meets public purpose and is technically and
structurally sound.Director of Public Safety Gottschalk noted many agencies are offering health club
memberships, personal development lessons, or anything that would support police officer health and
wellness. Director of Public Safety Gottschalk reviewed additional career opportunities within the police
department and noted the costs and benefits to the City in implementing investigative services, or street
crimes, which translates into additional staff opportunity as an incentive, but also benefits the community
with those services. Council noted incentives and how they may apply to admin and Public Works staff. City
Administrator Beise noted incentive items could be applied across all staff, and noted separate options are
being reviewed for Public Works and administrative staff. Council and staff discussed other potential
incentive options for police officers such as assigned take home squad cars for work use only, the costs
associated with the incentive, and the parameters of a squad car program. Council and staff discussed
education financial incentives, reimbursement for trainings or degrees relevant to the current employee’s
role, and what an education incentive might look like for an employee as a percentage of the employee’s
base wage. Council and staff discussed compensated community service and benefits of the incentive to
both staff and the community. Council and staff discussed hiring and referral bonuses noting it broadens
the scope of candidates in the process. Council and staff discussed family training and support incentive
options, EAP services, and broadening the contracted mental health support services to family and not staff
only. Director of Public Safety Gottschalk noted general numbers for the sabbatical include 30 days every
four years, equating to an employee accruing 7.5 days per year, with an annual cost to for the whole
department of just over $30,000 accrual per year, with the sabbaticals scheduled out. Director of Public
Safety Gottschalk reviewed general numbers for the vacation reimbursement would cost $1,000 per year
per police officer, so approximately $12,000 per year cost for vacation reimbursement. Director of Public
Safety Gottschalk reviewed the insurance contributions equates to $300/mo, $3600 per officer at 12 full-
time officers with a total cost $43,000 per year. Council and staff discussed availability of non-qualified
plans, administering retirement health care plans, funding a city liability, and one-time payout upon
retirement regarding health insurance benefits. Council discussed retrieving feedback from officers in the
form of a survey.Council and staff discussed format and scoring of the survey. Council initiated creation of
a Council sub-committee to review survey options.

city budget, and pass-through costs with escrow accounts, with a definition of what each service
encompasses for the City. Council noted if services are meeting quality standards, with costs covered
through escrow and picked up by developers, there may not be a need to complete and RFP, and sited
engineering as an example. Council discussed developing a timeline with a rotating schedule for RFPs

services, and RFP with a new contracted service may include empirical pricing within a learning curve of
City processes and actions. City Administrator Beise noted annually a letter of engagement is issued with
current contracted services each January. Council and staff noted options for RFPs. Council requested list
of all contracted services for RFPs, and to review services at annual appointments, identifying true costs

projects and developing relationships with independent engineering companies. Public Works Director

Turn Lane Improvements –
Authorization to Bid
Council Action Requested

Improvements Project as presented and accept plans and specifications and authorize bidding for the
project.
Background
•The Cook Lake Highlands development has begun construction with requires intersection
improvements at County Road 10 and the new Brockton Lane access at the development. The
County directs the design requirements through the access permit process and has approved the
design and are processing final signatures.
•Improvements to County Road 10 consist of the construction of westbound right turn and eastbound
left turn lanes into the development’s main entrance. Improvements to Brockton Lane include
constructing the 100’ north of the turn lanes.
•The project is bid with alternates that maximize the scope of the improvements and provide the
developer flexibility in their ability to self-perform a portion of the work. The two alternates provided
are for paving the top lift of bituminous road through the 73rd Street intersection and installing the trail
and sidewalk through the 73rd street intersection.
•A portion of the access improvement costs are being paid for by the City of Maple Grove and the Met
Council due to the shared access at this location for the adjacent development on 73rd Street and the
Met Council lift station north of the development.

Dear Kevin:
Reference: Horseshoe Bend Drive Drainage Improvements
We appreciate the opportunity to present this scope of work for the drainage improvement project for Horseshoe
Bend Drive near the Rolling Hills Road intersection. Council has authorized drainage improvements to upgrade
the system to manage a 10-year storm event that is typical of current municipal standards for new construction.
Residents are supportive of drainage improvements and this scope assumes all utility work can be completed
within existing ROW or easements and if necessary Right of Entries would be obtained for any grading work
outside of easements (yard grading, driveway tie-ins, etc.).
The following tasks are separated into the typical project breakdown to bring bid results back to Council.
Scope of Work
Task 100 - Design Survey
Stantec will conduct a design level survey with utility locates and topography to supplement the limited
culvert surveying that was performed for the Feasibility Study.
Task 200 – Final Design and Permitting Services
Finalize the stormwater conveyance design including finalizing pipe sizing, grading ditch profiles,
identifying any driveway adjustments and identifying small utility conflicts. The modeling will be
upgraded with the design level survey to complete the conveyance final design.
Plan preparation, including title sheet, existing conditions/demo, plan and profiles, storm sewer
improvements, typical sections and details.
The wetland permitting process involves showing temporary wetland impacts to obtain a No-Loss
determination for culverts and receive a No-Loss for the minor bounce to the main ponding area/wetland
that is east of Rolling Hills Road.
Task 300 - Bid Process
Stantec will complete the bid process that includes posting the project on Quest CDN for virtual bidding,
corresponding with contractors, issuance of addendums and managing the virtual bid opening.
Once bids have been opened on the project, we will prepare a bid tabulation and present bid results to
the Council for their consideration.
Construction Administration costs will be presented with the bid tabulation.
Agenda Item: 7e.

Dear Kevin:
Reference: City Center Drive and 79th Place Design Documents
We appreciate the opportunity to present this scope of work to provide professional engineering services for
the completion of Design Documents for the City Center and 79th Place Project. This scope of services will
include the completion of final design and bidding documents, technical specifications, construction
documents and bidding assistance.
Project Understanding
The City Center and 79th Place project is the construction project of the public infrastructure associated with
the first phase of the Downtown district. This project is being completed in partnership with multiple
stakeholders including the St. Therese senior housing development and the M&I Rush Creek Reserve
development. In addition to the stakeholder, a portion of the project is anticipated to be funded through
special assessments. The preliminary assessment hearings were held in August of 2021 and the final
assessment roll is anticipated to be completed with the construction phase of this project. The overall scale
of the project including the roadway, turn lane improvement, and utility improvements is approximately $6.0
million.
The majority of the utilities with this project are required of and being paid for by the St. Therese Senior
Housing and MI Rush Creek Reserve developments but are being installed with this project under a cost
share agreement. The mass grading project is underway and planned to be completed in the spring/summer
of 2023 and design of the utilities for the project has been ongoing and is not covered in this scope of work
as they are funded by the developers. We are requesting authorization to complete the final Design
Documents for the project which include the final roadway, and landscaping portions of the projects to be bid
in one package.
Scope of Work
Task 100 - Final Construction Documents
Stantec will provide final construction documents for the project which will include the information outlined below.
·Utilize topographic survey data that was collected with the mass grading portion of the project.
·Preparation of final easement exhibits and descriptions for the necessary easements on the project. We
will provide onsite staking of proposed easement limits for each property.
·Coordination with small utility companies with utility relocations.
·Final plan preparation of design documents in accordance with the MnDOT State Aid Highway Standards.
This will include including title sheet, existing conditions/demo, plan and profiles, storm sewer
improvements, utility sheet, striping and signage plan, erosions control plan, SWPPP, typical sections and
Agenda Item: 7f.

details. A portion of this project will be funded utilizing the City of Corcoran Municipal State Aid funds so
the plans will be completed to those standards for construction.
·A development of a SWPPP in accordance with MPCA NPDES permitting requirements will be required
and will be provided with this scope of work. It is assumed the SWPPP will be included with the bidding
documents and the MPDES permit will not be submitted until the project has been bid.
·A portion of the work will include turn lanes into both 79th Place and City Center Drive along the County
Road. This work will include coordination with Hennepin County to ensure those improvements are
designed in conformance with their design standards.
·Stormwater management design. The pond and stormwater management devices were designed with eh
mass grading of the project but additional calculations will be necessary for the State Aid Hydraulic
submittals.
·Engineers Cost estimate of the final design documents
·Landscaping plan in accordance with the SE District Standards. It is assumed that a preliminary
landscaping plan will be presented to the City Council for their consideration incorporating the design
elements of the complete downtown district. The final plan may include some components of that plan
that make sense with an initial phase with some elements anticipated to be provided with future linear
park or downtown development.
·Wetland permitting was addressed with the mass grading portion of the project and no additional wetland
permitting is anticipated to be necessary with this phase of the project.
Task 200 - Bidding Assistance
·Stantec will provide assistance in the bidding process that includes preparing the advertisement for bids,
responding to contractor questions, attending the bid opening, providing a bid tabulation, evaluate
qualifications and provide an award recommendation.
·As there are multiple stakeholders within the project, the bid tabulation will be used to present updated
cost share information to those parties.
Task Cost
Task 100 – Final Construction Documents $ 128,000
Task 200 – Bidding Assistance $ 8,500
Total $ 136,500

(City File No. 23-003)
Action Required:
Direction
Review Deadline: May 2, 2023
1.Application Request
The applicants, Hempel
Acquisition Company and Trek
Development, request an
opportunity to appear before the
City Council to solicit informal
comments on a concept plat for
the “Chastek” property at 7600
Maple Hill Rd. The subject
property is roughly 38 acres
located northeast of the County
Road 10 (Bass Lake Rd) and
Maple Hill Road intersection.
2.Background
The Chastek property previously
housed a wholesale greenhouse
business known as “Chastek
Greenhouses, Inc.” The property was put up for sale in 2022. The land was last platted
in 1992 under the name “Chastek Farm” to carve out a 1.5-acre parcel used as a single-
family home. The 1.5-acre parcel is not a part of this sketch plan and was recently sold
to a private party. Additionally, staff believes there is an existing private access
easement that runs along the south property line in favor of the Leuer property to the
east.
This item was previously scheduled for the February 23, 2023 Council meeting, but the
applicant requested the item to be pulled from the agenda. In the beginning of March,
the applicant requested to proceed with the concept plan at the March 23rd meeting. A
revised narrative was submitted (attached to this report), but the concept plan and
elevations remain the same. The changes are highlighted in yellow throughout the
report for easy reading.
Location Map of 7600 Maple Hill Rd

3. Context
Zoning and Land Use
The proposed property is guided for low density residential and zoned RSF-2 (Single
Family Residential 2). There is a small sliver of the property in the southeast corner that
is within the Shoreland Overlay District. It appears most of the greenhouses have been
removed from the property, but a few structures are still present on the site as of this
report, including a single-family home. The property is within the Metropolitan Urban
Service Area (MUSA) and Phase 1 of the 2040 Staging Plan.
Surrounding Properties
The guiding, zoning, and existing use of the surrounding properties are detailed in the
table below. All surrounding properties are within the MUSA and Phase 1 of the Staging
Plan.

Natural Characteristics of the Site
The 2040 Comprehensive Plan’s
Natural Resource Inventory
Areas map does not reflect any
natural communities of note on
the subject property. A wetland
delineation was completed on this
property and finalized in January
of this year. This process
confirmed five, relatively small,
wetlands throughout the property
as shown in the image to the
right.
4. Analysis
Planning staff coordinated review
of the sketch plan with Public
Works and Engineering as well
as the Public Safety team.
Memos from the City Engineer
and Public Safety are enclosed in
this report as well as incorporated into the following analysis as appropriate. The
applicant is responsible for reviewing the entirety of both memos and incorporating the
feedback as the project moves forward.
Use
The concept plan for “Amira Village” proposes a purpose-built rental community for
United Properties. This is a departure from the original narrative which proposed a 55+
age-restricted rental community. It is still possible that it could be a senior living
community; however, United Properties must complete additional market research to
confirm demand for such housing in the area. The plan includes 141 single-family villas
with two-car attached garages, smart-home technologies, and either a deck or patio.
The original narrative explains the intention to provide the following amenities within the
community:
- Centrally located clubhouse with an outdoor kitchen.
- Fitness center.
- Social room with prep kitchen facilities.
- Outdoor pool and hot tub.
- Pickleball and bocce ball courts.
- A pet exercise area.
All of these uses are permitted by-right within the RSF-2 zoning district.
Wetland Delineation Exhibit
Page 4 of 14
Density
The concept plan estimates a net density of roughly 3.9 unites/acre. This is within the
required 3-5 units per acre required for the low density residential land use designation.
The math behind the calculation was not included in the application submittal. It is
possible the post-development calculations will come back slightly higher than 3.9
units/acre once features such as wetlands and wetland buffers are removed from the
calculations. Staff believes the proposed development would still be within the 3-5
units/acre range.
Lot Analysis
The lot standards for the RSF-2 district are as follows:
RSF-2 Standard
Minimum Lot Area 11,000 sq. ft.
Minimum Lot Width 80 ft.
Minimum Principal Structure Setbacks
- Front, Major Roadways 100 ft.
- Front, All Other Streets 20 ft.
- Front Porch (less than 120 sq. ft.) 15 ft.
- Side (living) 10 ft.
- Side (garage)* 5 ft.
Sketch Plat
Page 5 of 14
- Rear 30 ft.
Maximum Principal Building Height 35 ft.
* Minimum separation between structures on adjacent parcels shall be 15 ft.
However, residential PUDs are more often compared to the district standards of RSF-3.
The Zoning Ordinance states that the RSF-3 district “is intended to be the primary
single-family zoning district for future residential developments.” The setbacks are the
same in RSF-3 as RSF-2, but there are smaller lot size standards as provided in the
table below.
RSF-3 Standard
Minimum Lot Area 7,500 sq. ft.
Minimum Lot Width 65 ft.
The concept plan proposes 39 lots with a width of 44’ and 102 lots with a width of 50’.
The home sizes are expected to range from 1,200 sq. ft. to 2,500 sq. ft. The sketch plan
notes proposed standards to be considered under a Planned Unit Development (PUD)
district (areas where flexibility is desired are in red text):
Proposed PUD Standards Standard
Minimum Lot Area 5,000 sq. ft.
Minimum Lot Width 44’
Minimum Principal Structure Setbacks
- Front Setback 20’
- Front Porch (less than 120 sq. ft.) 15’
- Minimum Side Setback 5’
- Minimum Rear Setback 25’
Maximum Principal Building Height 35 ft.
For the sake of comparison, Bellwether was approved with a minimum lot width of 44’,
and Bass Lake Crossing South was approved with a minimum lot width of 40’. These
PUDs were approved with a minimum lot area of 5,000 sq. ft. and 5,103 sq. ft,
respectively. Several residential PUDs have a 5’ side setback with a minimum
separation between structures of 10’. The more common rear setback granted to PUDs
is 25’.
The Council is asked to provide feedback on the proposed PUD lot standards.
The City recently approved an updated lot width definition to allow lots on a cul-de-sac
to measure the lot width at the required front setback. However, staff notes that there
are a few lots on a curve, but not a cul-de-sac, that are shown as a 50’ lot but may
measure less than 44’ wide at the front property line. The lot dimensions would be
further reviewed as part of a preliminary PUD/plat application. The Council should
Page 6 of 14
provide feedback if they are willing to consider allowing lots
on a curve to measure the lot width at the required front
setback as part of a PUD. This flexibility has been granted
for previous PUDs, such as Rush Creek Reserve.
Shoreland Overlay District
The standards for the Shoreland Overlay are provided in
Section 1050.020 of the Zoning Ordinance. The shoreland
overlay district extends 1,000 feet from the ordinary high
water level (OHWL) of Cook Lake. The district boundary is
indicated on the plans along the southeast corner of the
property and crosses over lots 34-39. Cook Lake is a
Natural Environment Lake, so there are additional lot
standards applied which are outlined in the table below.
Areas where flexibility would be required are provided in red.
Shoreland Overlay Proposed PUD Standards
Lot 34-39
Minimum Lot Area 20,000 sq. ft. 5,000 sq. ft.
Minimum Lot Width 125’ 50’
Setback from OWHL 150’ 150’
Impervious Surface
Limit
25% Percentage unclear; building pad,
driveway, and patio/deck will likely
exceed 25%.*
* Flexibility from the impervious surface limit may only be necessary for lot 34.
The Council may choose to discuss if they are open to PUD standards that deviate from
the Shoreland Overlay District standards and to what extent. Previous PUDs that
allowed flexibility from the Shoreland Overlay District standards include Bass Lake
Crossing and Cook Lake Highlands.
Residential Architectural Standards
Section 1040.040, Subd. 8 provides design standards for single-family homes that are
applicable to properties within the RSF-1, RSF-2, and RSF-3 zoning districts. The
applicant would be expected to comply with these standards unless specific flexibility is
requested and granted. Three concept elevations were provided in the application
submittal and are attached to this report. Further, the narrative explains the exterior
design of each home will be harmonious with varied elevations and color schemes. The
code requires a minimum of five different front elevations styles through the
development. At least two additional elevation styles will need to be added that provide
additional variations in color, accents, and/or building materials.
Shoreland Overlay District
Boundary
Page 7 of 14
The front elevation must consist of brick, stone, stucco, fiber cement board, redwood,
cedar, or a similar material with a
minimum of two different
materials required. Vinyl can also
be used with a minimum of 3
different variations in color, style,
and/or material required.
Additionally, the front elevation
shall have no more than 75% of
any one type of exterior finish
unless the finish is brick, stucco,
and/or stone. Not enough
information was provided to
confirm the submitted elevations
comply with these standards. The
building materials and percentages would need to be confirmed in the preliminary
application.
The residential architectural standards require the front elevation to consist of doors,
windows, and variations of the
wall face with the use of
architectural elements such as
pilasters or columns, wainscots,
or canopies. The submitted
concept plans do not comply
with this standard, and an
architectural element will need
to be added to the elevations.
Garages must be architecturally
styled to match the exterior
design of the home and must
not comprise more than 55% of
the viewable ground floor street-
facing linear building frontage. The concept elevations may be able to comply with this
standard. However, the measurement and percentage of the garage structure would be
confirmed with the preliminary application.
Allowable roofing materials include asphalt shingles, wood shingles, concrete, clay,
ceramic tile, or residential steel roofing with hidden fasteners. Roof overhangs must be
at least 12 inches. It appears the submitted concept elevations will be able to comply
with these standards.
Each façade that is visible from a street shall receive equal architectural treatment. This
will likely be necessary for lots 3-7, 8-13, 34-35, 51-52, 73-74, 88, 60, 89, 95-96, and
Concept Elevation 1
Concept Elevation 2
Page 8 of 14
102 of the 50’ wide lots. Additionally, lots 1, 5-6, 11, 26, 35, and 39 of the 44’ wide lots
may also have an additional
façade visible from a street.
All other elevations that are
not visible from a street
must make an effort to
incorporate elements from
the front elevation, and each
side elevation must include
at least one window or door
opening. Finally, a maximum
of 18 inches of the
foundation may be exposed
on any elevation.
Again, the applicant has not
requested flexibility from the underlying residential architectural standards at this time.
However, the Council may choose to discuss whether any standards may be negotiable
and to what extent. Of all the above-discussed architectural standards, staff believes the
most likely deviation in the current plans would be from the garage percentage.
Streets & Access
The sketch plan shows a
central primary access into the
development from Maple Hill
Rd. The plans reflects a design
compatible with a future
connection to Fir Lane North to
the southeast when the
property to the east is
developed. The homes in the
northwest corner look to be
served by a private road with a
cul-de-sac. The applicant’s
narrative explains that the cul-
de-sac and road in the
northwest corner of the site
could be adjusted to allow for a
secondary access from Maple
Hill Rd to support emergency
vehicles. Staff prefers that the
applicant work with the
property owner to the east to
Concept Elevation 3
Northwest Corner Access
Page 9 of 14
extend Fir Lane North as a part of the Amira Village development. However, the
Engineering Memo provides that the proposed emergency access in the northwest
corner is an option if approved by Public Safety. The Public Safety Memo notes that a
minimum road width of 20’ is required for emergency vehicles and recommends no
parking signs to be posted along the roadway in the northwest corner (particularly if it
remains a cul-de-sac). Public Safety would review the plans further at the time of the
preliminary application.
The Engineering Memo explains that improvements to Maple Hill Rd will likely be
needed. A feasibility study will be required to understand the extent of recommended
and required improvements. Upgrades to the condition of Maple Hill Rd will likely benefit
existing residents that utilize Maple Hill Rd (Bass Lake Crossing, Maple Hill Estates,
etc.) as well as the users of Good Shepard Lutheran Church. Historically, this has been
seen as a PUD benefit for other developments, and the applicant expressed a
willingness to negotiate their participation in such improvements. The Council may
choose to discuss whether they see improvements to a pre-existing condition a PUD
benefit to offset requested flexibilities.
Finally, staff recommends a ghost plat for the exception parcel to show how access
could be removed from Maple Hill Drive and be served by Amira Village should that
parcel be redeveloped.
Parking
Parking standards are provided in Section 1060.060 of the Zoning Ordinance. Single-
family homes require two parking spaces per unit. The narrative and concept elevations
confirm the homes will have attached 2-car garages. This, in addition to parking space
within driveways, satisfies the parking requirements. However, the Council may choose
to discuss whether they think additional guest parking should be accommodated on the
site as a part of PUD negotiations. Guest parking has not been typically required for
single-family home PUDs in the past.
The parking performance standards require a 10’ side setback that is applied to drive
aisles/driveways. The concept plan does not provide driveway locations, so it is unclear
if flexibility to the driveway setback is necessary for this project. Based on the concept
elevations submitted with the application, it appears likely that a 5’ driveway setback
would be needed. For reference, Bass Lake Crossing has a 5’ driveway setback from
the side property lines. The Council may choose to provide feedback on whether they
are open to considering a similar setback for the Amira Village development.
Utilities
The Engineering Memo touches on various items related to municipal sewer and water
for the site. As part of the feasibility study, Engineering will review the need to loop the
watermain to the existing water network to the south. Valve and hydrant locations will be
Page 10 of 14
reviewed at the time of final plat, and the Public Safety Memo recommends locating a
fire hydrant within 100’ of the common building shown on the sketch plat.
Stormwater Management
The concept plan shows 5 stormwater ponds located on the western half of the site. The
Engineering Memo explains the site currently drains to the northeast where there is a
lowland area adjacent to Maple Hill Estates. Additionally, there may be an existing drain
tile which also contributes to drainage patterns going east. Drainage for the site will be
reviewed further with the preliminary and final plats as part of a stormwater
management plan to ensure stormwater is managed without impacting adjacent
properties and complies with the City’s and Elm Creek Watershed Management
Commission’s standards.
Wetlands
There are five wetlands located on the site. Two of the wetlands are considered
seasonally flooded basins (Type 1), and the remaining three wetlands are considered
fresh wet meadows (Type 2). None of these wetlands are included on the City’s Natural
Resources Communities Quality Ranking Map. The City assumes wetlands not included
on this map to be of medium quality. However, there is a MNRAM process with the
State of MN the applicant can pursue to confirm the wetlands are considered low quality
to reduce the required buffer area. Based on the concept plan, it appears the applicant
plans to impact three of the wetlands while preserving the two wetlands along the
northern border of the property. Impacts to wetlands must be reviewed and approved
through the appropriate WCA permitting process. If for some reason approval is not
granted, the lot design would need to be modified accordingly to avoid the wetland(s)
and account for the required wetland buffer(s). Wetland buffers will be required for any
unimpacted wetlands and will need to be shown along with the required wetland buffer
monuments at the time of preliminary plat. The applicant will need to confirm whether
they plan to use existing buffers as allowed and defined by City Code or if they plan to
establish new buffers.
Lighting
Street lighting will be required as a part of the development. A lighting plan was not
provided, but the applicant would be expected to comply with the performance
standards in Section 1060.040 of the Zoning Ordinance. Street lighting locations will be
reviewed by Public Safety with the final lighting locations determined at the time of final
plat.
Landscaping
Page 11 of 14
A detailed landscaping plan was not provided. Landscape standards are provided in
Section 1060.070 of the City Code. Residential uses must provide one overstory tree
per dwelling unit. The applicant is expected to
comply with this standard. The Council may
choose to discuss whether they believe more
vegetation requirements should be
established as a part of the PUD negotiations.
The concept plan seems to show a boulevard
area within the primary entrance of the
development. The applicant’s revised
narrative expresses a willingness to include a
well-landscaped boulevard and entrance
visible from public streets which has
historically been considered as a PUD
benefit. The Council may choose to discuss
whether additional landscaping of this
boulevard is a PUD benefit they would
consider to offset the requested flexibilities.
Trails and Parks
A proposed off road trail is
shown along the northern
property line in the Parks and
Trails Plan in the 2040
Comprehensive Plan. This trail
is reflected on the proposed
sketch plat. The developer
would get park dedication credit
for the area of the easement for
the off-road trail. The developer
is responsible for the base
(grading and gravel) of the trail,
and the City typically
reimburses the developer for
pavement. However, the
developer is open to paving the trail at their cost, and this has historically been
considered a public benefit for PUDs. The Council may choose to discuss whether they
believe this could be a benefit of the PUD to offset some of the requested flexibilities.
The trail location would be further reviewed by the Parks and Trails Commission at the
time of preliminary plat.
Signage

No signage is discussed in the narrative or shown in the sketch plan. Signs throughout
the development must comply with Chapter 84 of the City Code. Residential uses are
allowed 2 freestanding signs with a sign copy area of up to 32 sq. ft. with a height of 6’.
Rental Dwelling Ordinance Draft
The applicant’s narrative explains United Properties hopes to discuss the single-family
homes in Amira Village as a professionally managed rental housing option within the
City. The City Council is working on a rental dwelling ordinance that would limit the
amount of rental licenses that can be owned by a single entity as well as the density of
rental dwelling units on a block within low density residential areas (5 units/acre or less).
As the draft is currently written, the Council would need to grant an exemption for United
Properties. This process is still being outlined, and the ordinance is not yet in effect. The
Council may choose to consider whether an intentional rental community with full-time,
on-site management is a situation where an exemption would be justified should the
Ordinance move forward. The density limit would also need to be waived for this
development under the current rental draft. The draft allows this to be done under a
“temporary” permit, so should the Council consider allowing the exemption, the draft will
likely need to be revised to allow the Council to grant a long-term permit. This revision
could be made specific to intentional rental developments.
Buffer Ordinance Draft
Based on the most recent draft of the buffer ordinance reviewed at the January 26th
Council Work Session, a buffer yard would be required on the east and south property
lines. Along the east property line, a buffer yard class of “A” would apply. The planted
buffer yard options are provided in the table below. Along the south property line, the
development would be required to maintain a side and rear setback equivalent to the
rear setback, but no additional plantings are required. This could make lot 34 of the 50’
wide lots unbuildable. This development would not be expected to buffer from the trailer
park.

As of this staff report, the Buffer Ordinance is not yet adopted. However, it appears a
small buffer yard along the east property line could be accommodated. It may result in
smaller lots than anticipated in this area of the development, but the Council can choose
to discuss if they see this as a PUD benefit for negotiations to offset the requested
flexibilities.
Pre-existing Environmental Contamination
Page 13 of 14
The applicant submitted an email on March 16th (attached to this report as the
“Supplement to the Revised Narrative”) that explains a petroleum leak from an
underground storage tank was identified on the property through the completion of
Environmental Survey Assessments. This must be disclosed to the Minnesota Pollution
Control Agency which the applicant commits to facilitating. This process will include
several steps such as a Limited Site Investigation to determine the extent of the leak
and a “leak closure” to contain the contamination. This process itself does not correct
the contamination which are within a portion of the site’s soils and may lead to (if it
hasn’t already) contamination of groundwater.
This means the property will be classified as a “brownfield”. While arguably any
developer that moves the contaminated soil would be required to clean up the
contamination, there is arguably a benefit in having a developer (with experience in
environmental cleanups) willing to commit to completing this work in the immediate
future. It is a possibility that other developers will see the brownfield status as a
significant risk which could leave the property as a brownfield for an undetermined
amount of time. It is also possible that a future property owner will keep the site as a
homesteaded farm, commercial greenhouse, and/or develop around the contaminated
area. The applicant would like this to be considered a PUD benefit in negotiations, and
staff believes there is public value in a commitment to correcting the pre-existing
condition. The Council may choose to provide feedback on whether they consider the
environmental cleanup of the site as a public benefit.
Summary of Flexibilities & Benefits for Discussion
The applicant specifically asked for the following PUD standards that deviate from the
RSF-2 and RSF-3 district standards:
- Lot width minimum of 44’.
- Side setback of 5’.
- Rear setback of 25’.
- Minimum lot area of 5,000 sq. ft.
Additionally, the applicant is asking for PUD flexibility from the Shoreland Overlay
district to allow for the following standards:
- Lot width minimum of 50’
- Side setback of 5’
- Rear setback of 25’
- Minimum lot area of 5,000 sq. ft.
- Impervious surface limit – to be determined at time of preliminary plat.
Further, staff noted the following flexibilities will likely be needed for the plan to move
forward as drafted:
- Measuring lot width at the required front setback for lots on a curve.
- A 5’ driveway setback from the side property lines.
Page 14 of 14
Lastly, understanding the intention to establish a rental dwelling ordinance, the applicant
is requesting Amira Village be considered for an exemption from the license and density
caps currently contemplated in the draft.
The applicant’s revised narrative proposes the following public benefits for negotiation:
- Improvement of Maple Hill Road to be determined after a feasibility study to the
benefit of existing residents, church users, and future residents.
- Paved public trail.
- A landscaped boulevard at the development entrance.
- Appropriate transition from the Bass Lake Crossing neighborhood to the south
and the manufactured home park to the north.
- HOA-maintained amenity and open space.
- Environmental clean-up of a known contamination on the site that places the
property within a “brownfield” status.
Next Steps
Assuming this project moves forward, the next steps are outlined below:
1. Feasibility Study.
2. A land use application for a Rezoning, Preliminary PUD Plan, and Preliminary
Plat.
3. A land use application for a Final PUD and Final Plat.
4. Watershed approval of City-approved final grading and stormwater plans.
5. WCA permitting for wetland impacts.
Recommendation
Staff recommends that the City Council review and discuss the sketch plat and provide
the applicant with informal comments. The Council should provide clear direction to the
applicant so that they can decide whether to proceed with a formal application. Any
comments given by the City Council are advisory in nature and non-binding. While the
comments are non-binding, the applicant will consider the input from the City Council
when they prepare their formal submittal.

Located north of the existing Bass Lake Crossing development and east of Maple Hill Road, the
site will have primary access off Maple Hill Road and designed for a future connection extension
to Fir Lane North. A secondary access to Maple Hill Rd is included in the concept design to
support the needs of emergency vehicles if needed. Situated in a growing area, our residents
will have easy access to shopping, dining, healthcare and recreational opportunities.
Amira Village will offer approximately 141, well-appointed single-family villa homes, featuring
flexible floorplans and a wide variety of amenities for a vibrant, maintenance-free lifestyle:
• Centrally located clubhouse with outdoor kitchen
• Fitness Center
• Social room with prep kitchen facilities
• Outdoor pool / hot tub
• Pickleball Courts and Bocce Ball

• Pet exercise area
Amira Village will offer maintenance-free living with thoughtfully designed indoor and outdoor
spaces and premium finishes and fixtures. Home sizes start at approx. 1,200 sf on 44’ wide lots
and will range from 1,450 to 2,500 sf on the 50’ wide lots. There will be a mix of patio homes
and floor plans with basements. All homes will consist of two-car attached garages, quality
finishes, smart-home technologies and will incorporate a deck or patio.
The exterior design of each home will be harmonious to its surroundings and feature beautiful
architecture, non-monotonous elevations, and varying color schemes.
The beautifully landscaped grounds will pay specific attention to enhancing the central
common area and buffering for the yards of neighbors immediately north and south. Sidewalks,
walking paths and programmed activities located within the community are designed to
encourage physical activity and social engagement. United Properties works with preeminent
local operators who employ an on-site community manager, maintenance technician, and life
enrichment director, to deliver best-in-class services for our residents.
Rental rates will vary based on home size and will be very competitive to the cost of
homeownership. Monthly rent will include high-speed internet, cable television, water &
sewer, trash removal, home maintenance, as well as landscaping, snow removal services, and
secured access to all common amenities. Rental terms are flexible and designed for residents
to “Lock & Leave” as they enjoy the freedom to travel, volunteer, or pursue their passions.
Amira’s core values include creating a sense of belonging for every resident —a commitment to
fostering a sense of community and prioritizing meaningful experiences. Our communities
provide older adults the opportunity to live and thrive within environments where they feel
supported, engaged and connected. Residents can focus on what matters most to them:
community, family, friends, interests and more. A robust calendar of scheduled activities
encourages creativity and wellness for a fun and active lifestyle.

Subject: RE: Chastek Concept
Hi Natalie,
You are right – I am so sorry I spaced getting that to you sooner. Please see our brief overview below to
include in your staff report:
As part of our site investigation and due diligence, we have completed both Phase I and Phase II
Environmental Survey Assessments (ESA). The Phase I ESA identified Recognized Environmental
Conditions (RECs) that triggered the Phase II ESA, which includes a more detailed scope of
investigation. The Phase II ESA identified one area of actionable impacts, which has been analyzed and
identified as a petroleum leak from an underground storage tank. Part of our efforts if we proceed with
Preliminary Plat entitlements, we intend to perform the necessary steps to notify the MPCA of the leak,
determine the extent of the leak via a Limited Site Investigation, and apply for a Leak Closure with the
MPCA via the Petroleum Brownfields Program. Furthermore, we plan to pursue further investigation
steps with the intention to gather and analyze the necessary data, develop a Response Action Plan (RAP)
and Construction Contingency Plan (CCP) to submit to the MPCA for approval to be implemented at the
time the use of the site is changed from its current use via development. The intent is that an
environmental consulting firm would be on-site during the excavation of the petroleum impacted area
to provide oversight, document the removal help segregate the impacted material and collect
confirmation samples. And, once the earthwork is complete, a RAP Implementation Report would be
submitted asking for a Petroleum No Action Letter for the petroleum impacts. These action steps in
performing site analysis, investigation, developing and implementing action plans are all to be
completed under consultation with environmental professionals and following industry standards.
Let us know if you have any questions.
Thanks again for your time yesterday!

City of Corcoran - A Hidden Gem Waiting To Be Discovered
Memo
To: Kevin Mattson, City of Corcoran From: Kent Torve, City Engineer
Steve Hegland, PE
Project: Amira Village - Chastek Concept
Review
Date: February 13th, 2023
Exhibits:
This Memorandum is based on a review of the following document:
1. Concept Plan – Amira Village, Dated January 23rd, 2023
Comments:
General:
1. In addition to engineering related comments, the proposed plans are subject to additional planning,
zoning, land-use, and other applicable codes of the City of Corcoran.
2. Final approval by the Elm Creek Watershed Management Commission must be attained before any
site grading or activity may commence.
3. An encroachment agreement shall be required for all site improvements or items placed within the
City ROW or easements.
4. A demolition permit shall be obtained prior to construction activities beginning.
Plat:
1. The applicant shall have all drainage and utility easements provided and shown and all platting
requirements met per the City Code. Drainage and utility easements (5’ – 10’) shall be provided along
property lines, as standard per City requirements.
2. Existing easements which conflict with the proposed plan will need to be vacated, and City is aware
of an access agreement for adjacent property owner along the south property line.
Erosion Control/SWPPP
1. Preparation of and compliance with a SWPPP shall be required for construction.
Transportation
1. All roadways shall match City standard details.
2. It is anticipated that improvements to Maple Hill Road will be necessary with this development. The
scope for the roadway improvements would be further reviewed at the time of the feasibility study.
3. The private road for possible public ROW access should be reviewed by public safety. Private roads
shall at a minimum be constructed to the city standard section.
4. Temporary turnarounds meeting City standards are required at the end of dead-end streets to

Site Plans
1. The existing and proposed drainage and utility easements shall be clearly shown and labeled on all
plan drawings.
2. Street lighting locations shall be reviewed by public safety and final lighting locations shall be
determined at the time of final plat.
3. If access to the adjacent Bass Lake Crossings development is necessary, applicant shall be
responsible for obtaining all necessary easements for the access.
Grading /Stormwater
1. Stormwater from the site generally drains to the northeast of the site to a lowland area adjacent to the
neighboring property Maple Hill Estates. It is believed that an existing draintile also drains the area to
the east. The drainage in this area will need to be reviewed with the preliminary plat and final plat to
ensure drainage from this site is managed without impacting adjacent properties.
o Any offsite drainage improvements necessary to mitigate the proposed development is the
developer responsiblity. This will be reviewed with the feasibility study.
2. The southern property line has wetlands and WCA process will determine if the lots need to be
modified or if the wetlands can be impacted.
3. A stormwater management plan shall be provided to confirm that stormwater management is in
accordance with City of Corcoran and Elm Creek Watershed Management Commission Standards.
4. Reference the City of Corcoran Stormwater Guidelines for Development Review for standards for
stormwater systems and modeling.
5. The wetland buffer zones and wetland buffer signage shall also be clearly identified and labeled.
6. Label clearly on plans EOF’s for all areas where water will be collected including all low areas in
roadways and greenspaces.
7. All drainage swales shall maintain a minimum of 2% slope and all slopes should be 4:1 or flatter
unless approved by the City Engineer.
8. If wetlands are impacted, they shall be reviewed and approved through the appropriate WCA
permitting process.
9. At the time of preliminary plat, the wetland buffers should be identified as either newly established
wetland buffers or whether they are existing buffers as defined by City Code.
Watermain/Sanitary Sewer
1. Plan and profiles for all utilities shall be provided at the time of final plat submittals.
2. Valve locations to be reviewed at time of final plat. Generally, valves shall be located at all
intersection as one less valve than the number of legs. Valves should typically be located out from the
end radius points unless specific circumstances don’t allow.
3. Hydrant spacing to be reviewed by Public Safety at time of final plat.
4. Watermain likely will need to be looped to the existing water network to the south. Additional details
will be reviewed at the time of the feasibility study.

Meeting Date: March 23, 2023
To: Planning Commission
From: Natalie Davis McKeown, Planner
Re: City Code Updates – Planned Unit Development Standards
____________________________________________________________________
Updating the Planned Unit Development (PUD) ordinance was identified as a City
Council priority in 2022. Staff and Council held work sessions to review the PUD
ordinance on July 28, 2022, October 27, 2022, and January 26, 2023. In July, staff was
directed to identify basic standards for PUDs, create a points system to aid in the review
of public benefits offered by PUD proposals, as well as create a super majority (4/5)
threshold for approval of all PUDs. At the October work session, staff was directed to
test out the draft points system on the Tavera development and see what options there
were for allowing a vote to proceed if only three Council members are seated at a
meeting to avoid running up against the review deadline. During the January work
session, Council and staff worked through questions pertaining to open space and the
points threshold for review.
Council asked staff to bring the ordinance draft to the joint work session with the
Planning Commission on February 9, 2023 to give the Commission a chance to provide
feedback on the overall draft, proposed point categories to capture PUD benefits, the
super majority approval requirement, and when the required neighborhood meeting
should take place. An in-depth discussion was held about the proposed changes at the
work session. However, the Commission was not able to provide feedback on the
categories and point allotments within the proposed points system. The Council directed
staff to bring the points system back for discussion with the Planning Commission at the
March 2nd meeting. Due to a series of unforeseen circumstances, the Planning
Commission in March was cancelled due to a lack of a quorum. However, Planning
Commissioners were told they were welcome to submit individual feedback to staff that
could be forwarded to the City Council for the anticipated discussion on March 23. All
Agenda Item 8b.
Page 2 of 8
Planning Commission members submitted written feedback which is summarized in and
attached to this report.
Updates to Draft Since Joint Work Session
Open Space
Instead of a flat 15% open space requirement of all PUDs that include dwellings, the
verbiage has been changed to require low density residential PUDs to set aside a
required percentage of open space based on the proposed lot width. A table is provided
in the draft ordinance for clarity.
Neighborhood Meeting
The neighborhood meeting requirement was moved to occur after the sketch plan but
before submittal of a preliminary PUD development plan application. Verbiage was
added to clarify that a preliminary PUD application would not be considered complete
until the neighborhood meeting is held.
Encouragement of Larger Lot Sizes
In addition to lot widths of 72’ or larger not having to set aside additional open space, a
points category was added to the draft points system that awards points for every 10%
of lots that exceed the minimum lot width or lot area standards of the RSF-3 district.
Clarification on Expectations with Rural Structures
At the joint work session, a desire was stated to consider relief for the ultimate
homeowners and HOAs when it is no longer feasible to retain a historical structure due
to the ongoing financial requirements necessary to keep it structurally sound. Staff
added a paragraph under this category in the drafts points system that clarifies the City
will allow for a historical building to be replaced with a small monument, such as a
plaque, if and when this occurs.
Commissioner Feedback
Staff identified four questions related to the proposed categories within the PUD points
system. The individual feedback is summarized below. Some of the individual feedback
does contradict which is to be expected. Council is asked to direct staff on what
changes should be made to the current draft.
1. What points categories should be adjusted in terms of the amount or how points
are allotted?
Agenda Item 8b.
Page 3 of 8
Based on the submitted feedback, the Council may want to consider adjusting the
following categories in how they are weighted in importance as compared to other
categories:
- 3. Appropriately located neighborhood scale commercial/office uses.
o 10 points maximum.
o Should more points be possible in this category?
o Could there be value in increasing the available points in this category
to encourage small businesses to work with larger developers?
- 4. Percentage of units within ¼ mile of an identifiable neighborhood focal
point.
o 50 points maximum determined by the percentage of units / 2.
o Should the number of points possible be reduced as compared to other
priorities such as use of native plants, restoration, or preservation of
natural resources?
Alternatively, the points possible for other priorities could also
be increased.
- 16. Natural resources and features retained.
o 20 points maximum.
o Should more points be possible in this category?
- 18. Use of native plants in landscaping.
o 5 points maximum.
o Should more points be possible in this category?
- 19. Existing rural structures are retained and/or reused.
o 10 points with 5 bonus points available for preservation of a silo.
o Does it make sense for the available points in this category to exceed
category #18 (use of native plants in landscaping)? Should this be
more balanced?
- 24. Areas of parkland, woodland, or other open space (above minimum)
o 1 bonus point per acre of dedicated parkland (acceptable to the City)
or other open space areas that are in outlots or conservation
easements with no maximum limit.
o Should this be reduced to 0.5 points per acre?
An additional suggestion is to reduce the number of categories to 10 to 15
categories, and make each category 1 point. A score of 8-10 points moves the
application forward.
2. Are there additional categories that should be added?
- Lawns into legumes.
Agenda Item 8b.
Page 4 of 8
o Give credit for multi-species prairie or native grasses.
o Assign points based on percentage of area or by acre.
-On-site neighborhood compost system.
-Utilization/incorporation of previously established trails, driveways, and
walkways.
-Use of local contractors or suppliers for materials or landscaping.
-Minimum number of backyards facing streets.
-Percentage of homes deeded as affordable housing only.
-Edible landscaping in commons, greenspace, or boulevard plantings.
o Edible to humans and/or birds.
-Varied age/height/girth of trees planted at the time of development.
o Award points based on the percentage of more mature trees initially
planted.
-Build playgrounds or other recreational areas.
-Create community gardens/farms in developments.
-Community shelter or building with picnic area.
-Conformance with pre-existing zoning district lot sizes or 75% of the units
have lot sizes of at least 1/3 acre.
3.Are there categories that bring up concerns and/or should be removed?
Categories identified as something to discuss for removal from the PUD points
system are listed below.
-3. Appropriately located neighborhood scale commercial/office uses.
o 10 points maximum
-4. Percentage of units within ¼ mile of an identifiable neighborhood focal
point.
o 50 points maximum determined by the percentage of units divided by
2.
-5. Distribution of attached units.
o 40 points maximum determined by the formula (50 – A) where A = the
largest percentage of attached units in any one group.
Agenda Item 8b.
Page 5 of 8
-6. Creation of open space using multi-story buildings.
o 10 points maximum (this category is not available in low density
residential areas)
-7. Visual Termini
o 5 points maximum.
-8. Attached units are embedded.
o 25 points maximum determined by (50 – A) / 2. A = % of the perimeter
roadway in linear feet with attached units.
o Specific concerns noted include:
Trends supporting the fact that single family homebuyers desire
to be more secluded and would prefer interior lots.
Higher density within the interior of a development would direct
more traffic through the neighborhood.
Single-family homes along roadways are more likely to put up
privacy fencing.
May make sense to focus on landscaping and buffering for
attached homes along roadways or the exterior of
developments.
-10. Percentage of units within 1,000 feet walk from a park.
o 10 point maximum determined by the percentage of units / 10.
-12. Cul-de-sacs are open ended.
o 5 points maximum.
-13. Open space is consolidated and usable.
o 25 points possible with 5 bonus points possible if the applicant
commits to privately owned open space being made accessible and
usable to the public.
-14. Open space is connected with green (natural) corridors.
o 10 points maximum
-15. Viable open space master plan is created.
o 5 points maximum.
-19. Existing rural structures are retained and/or reused.
o 10 points maximum with 5 bonus points for preservation of a silo.
-21. Lot size variety
o 50 points maximum with 5 points awarded for every 10% of lots that
exceed a lot width of 65’ or exceed a lot area of 7,500 square feet.
Agenda Item 8b.
Page 6 of 8
- 22. Natural restoration work
o 10 bonus points possible with 1 point per acre of restoration.
4. Are there categories or descriptions that could use additional clarity?
The following feedback was received from commissioners:
- 9. Exceptional landscaping to buffer homes major roads
o 50 points maximum
At least 70% evergreen trees but no more than 85% (10 points)
Decorative open fencing (10 points)
Understory trees and shrubs (10 points)
All vegetation must be salt tolerant (10 points)
Retention of existing woods may qualify as well and can be
awarded up to 10 bonus points in this category.
o Should additional criteria be added? If so, what?
o Do we want to be so specific with a 70% requirement of evergreen
trees?
Non-native evergreen trees may not thrive and end up looking
brown, dying, or being clipped from the bottom as they grow.
Should we specify that they must be native evergreen trees?
- 10. Percentage of units within 1,000 feet walk from a park.
o 10 point maximum determined by the percentage of units / 10.
o How are we defining park? Does it require a playground structure, a
bench, or simply green space?
- 11. Internal trail connections
o 10 points maximum
o Should criteria be added to this category to further define when points
are awarded? If so, what criteria should be added?
- 18. Use of native plants in landscaping.
o Currently 5 points maximum.
o Should the explanation of this category be updated to include native
grasses and small growing clover to encourage this type of vegetation
rather than turf grasses?
- 22. Natural restoration work.
o 10 bonus points possible with 1 point per acre of restoration.
o Would this need to be certified?
o Regarding the note that buckthorn removal would qualify, are we
considering removal to be the removal/grinding of the stumps? Or the
chemical application to the cut stumps? Or both?
Agenda Item 8b.
Page 7 of 8
o Buckthorn is persistent and the seeds can lay dormant in the soil for
years. If we are giving credit for this restoration, how are we
determining the efficacy of the effort?
- Any point category that provides a “maximum” or “case-by-case” should be
reworded to either provide all points or none.
o If it is not practical to award points on an all-or-nothing basis for a
category, then consider removing the category.
- Clarify how bonus points are calculated.
o Does it impact the denominator in the 75% of the calculation?
o Truly bonus points would not be included in the denominator.
Additional feedback
The attached emails provided additional questions and concerns summarized below.
- There is potential that the PUD review process could make housing more
unaffordable by increasing costs significantly for developers and homebuyers.
o This could be mitigated with an effort to incorporate an affordable
housing component to the process.
- Who and how will maintenance of open areas or preserved natural resources
be handled?
o Nature needs wise human interaction in order to thrive.
- The potential for the PUD process to force or favor a Homeowners
Association.
- Are there too many categories creating extra work for staff and confusion for
developers?
- The simultaneous rigidness and subjectivity of the PUD points system.
o Leaving awarding of points in subjective categories up to the discretion
of staff.
- Potential legal challenges of denying a PUD application that meets the
threshold for staff recommendation of approval.
Council Discretion
The topic of the Council’s discretion in denying a PUD that meets the points threshold
has been a common theme in the previous discussions. Staff reached out to Maple
Grove to understand their experience with denying a PUD that meets the points
threshold. Maple Grove City Staff stated their Council has yet to deny a PUD application
that has met the points threshold. This means we don’t have an example or established
Agenda Item 8b.
Page 8 of 8
case law as to how a legal decision will hold up should an applicant choose to fight a
denial determination.
In speaking with the City Attorney, he believes an applicant will likely rely on the points
rewarded in the staff analysis in an argument as to why the rezoning should have been
approved. This isn’t to say the Council would not be able to deny a PUD application that
satisfies the points threshold, but the City Attorney stressed that clear findings of fact
would be necessary and should explain where staff’s analysis is mistaken or what other
findings of fact are leading to the denial that were not captured by the points system.
There could be a risk in denying an application because the Council (or a couple of
Council members) simply doesn’t like the application as discretion is arguably reduced
when defined standards for review and approval are established. A denial position in
this instance may be made further difficult to defend when it is a minority position on the
Council.
Staff believes the extensive discussion on what the Council views as a public benefit in
reviewing PUDs is already proving beneficial in meetings with developers. If the Council
decides to move away from the points system, the PUD district could be amended to
include the identified categories in an unweighted list of desirable public
benefits/development traits. This may help in avoiding legal challenges as the lack of a
defined threshold should retain a similar level of discretion as the Council has today in
deciding to approve or deny a PUD.
Next Steps
Council should direct staff on any changes that should be made to the draft ordinance
and draft points system. If changes are minimal, then a public hearing could be
scheduled as early as May 4, 2023.

1040.140 – PUD (PLANNED UNIT DEVELOPMENT) Subd. 1. Purpose. In return for greater flexibility in site design requirements, the Planned Unit Development (PUD) district is expected to deliver creative community designs of exceptional quality. PUDs shall honor the rural character of Corcoran by prioritizing nature through preservation, restoration, and/or enhancement of the natural systems that sustain the City. PUDs will include a combination of public benefits such as above-average open space amenities; incorporate creative design in the layout of buildings, open space, and circulation; assure compatibility with surrounding land uses and neighborhood character; and provide greater efficiency in the layout and provision of roads, utilities, and other infrastructure. The purpose of the PUD, Planned Unit Development District, is to promote creative and efficient use of land by providing design flexibility A PUD can be used in the development of residential neighborhoods and/or nonresidential areas in a manner that would not be possible under a conventional zoning district. The decision to zone property to PUD is a public policy decision for the City Council to make in its legislative capacity. Subd. 2. Intent. The intent of this district is to include most of the following: I. Provide for the establishment of PUD districts in appropriate settings and situations to create or maintain a development pattern that is consistent with the City’s Comprehensive Plan. II. Potentially Aallow for the mixing of land uses within a development when such mixing of land uses is determined to be compatible with the surrounding area and could not otherwise be accomplished under the existing zoning and subdivision regulations. III. Provide for variations to the strict application of the land use regulations to improve site design and operation, while at the same time incorporating design elements, e.g. construction materials, landscaping, lighting, etc., that exceed the City’s standards to offset the effect of any variations. Desired design elements may include the following: innovative design, integration of historical or rural structures and design elements, utilization of newly established technologies in building design, special construction materials, additional landscaping, creating parking and pedestrian connections, stormwater management, pedestrian-oriented design, or transitions to residential neighborhoods. IV. Promote more creative and efficient approach to land use within the City, while at the same time protecting and promoting the health, safety, comfort, aesthetics, economic viability, and general welfare of the City.
Page 2 of 16
V. Preserve and enhance natural features, and open spaces, trees, and scenic views. VI. Maintain or improve the efficiency of public streets and utilities. VII. Ensure appropriate transitions between differing land uses. VIII. Ensure high quality of design and designs that are compatible with surrounding land uses, including existing and planned. Subd. 3. Application Applicability. A PUD district shall not be established for parcels guided in the Comprehensive Plan for Rural/Ag Residential and Rural Service/Commercial, except where allowed for an Open Space Preservation Plat. It will be used in areas guided Mixed Use or Mixed Residential on the Land Use Plan and in other areas where A PUD district can be established for parcels guided in the Comprehensive Plan as any other land use designation than those stated above when the City finds that the proposal meets the intent of this the PUD district. Subd. 4. Allowed Uses. All permitted uses, permitted accessory uses, conditional uses, and interim uses contained in the underlying zoning districts shall be treated as potentially allowable uses within a PUD district. Uses within the PUD will generally be limited to those uses considered associated with the general land use category shown for the area on the City’s Comprehensive Plan. A. Low Density Residential. PUDs located on land that is guided for existing and low density residential shall be limited to permitted and accessory uses in addition to uses allowed by conditional, interim, and/or administrative permit as contemplated with the following single-family residential districts: RSF-1, RSF-2, and RSF-3. B. Presumption of Underlying Zoning District. I. PUDs located on land that is guided as one of the land use designations in the table below will be presumed to include permitted and accessory uses in addition to uses allowed by conditional, interim, and/or administrative permits of the underlying zoning district(s) associated with the land use designation.
Land Use Designation in

District Medium Density Residential RMF-1 Mixed Residential RMF-2 High Density Residential RMF-3
Page 3 of 16
Mixed Use GMU and DMU Commercial C-1 and C-2 Business Park BP Light Industrial I-1 Public/Semi-Public PI II. Additional uses not contemplated in the underlying zoning district may be approved by Ordinance if the Council determines such uses to be compatible with the intent of the underlying zoning district. C. Mixed Use. PUDs located on land guided as mixed use are expected to include a combination of residential and commercial uses. Subd. 5. Presumptive Performance Standards. Lot Dimensions, Setbacks and Building Heights. The district regulations (e.g., minimum lot dimensions, building height, and building coverage ratio) of the most closely related underlying zoning district shall be considered presumptively appropriate, but may be departed from to accomplish the purpose and intent described in this Section. Subd. 6. Design Standards. The PUD plan establishes the requirements for a PUD and shall govern land uses and design. The following is a list of minimum standards required of PUDs: A. Appropriate Integration. PUDs shall be appropriately integrated into existing and proposed surrounding development. This does not mean the PUD reflects the specific standards of the surrounding area such as lot size, density, setbacks, or design. While integration may be achieved through such standards, it may also be achieved through continuation of existing land use types, architectural transitions, landscaping buffering, or other means. B. Variety and Enhanced Design. Since PUDs are expected to exceed standards, most residential PUDs should include a wide variety of styles. Style refers to the exterior image and footprint, not the floor plan. Where a wide variety of styles does not make sense, the PUD should include enhanced building design that exceeds underlying standards. I. PUDs with detached homes must provide house elevations for approval. There should be no less than 5 styles of detached homes. II. PUDs with attached homes (not including apartment buildings) must include no less than 2 styles.
Page 4 of 16
III. For PUDs without a residential component, applicants must provide material boards with renderings for design evaluation. C. Open Space. A low density residential PUD shall provide a percentage of the project area as open space based on the requested lot width minimum as shown in the subsequent table. If the PUD is to be developed in phases, the applicant must include the entire site in the plat of the first phase of development and designate as open space. Open space is a landscaped area of areas available for the common use of and is accessible by all residents or occupants of the buildings within the PUD. Open space shall consist of upland and be calculated on a net basis which excludes private yards, private streets from back of curb to back of curb, public rights-of-way, or any other non-recreational impervious surface area. Areas within easements shall be used in calculating open space unless the easement is over an inaccessible and/or unusable space such as wetlands or stormwater ponds. The calculation will be based off the net pre-development area. Dedicated parkland shall not be used in calculating open space for a development if it is anticipated in the 2040 Comprehensive Plan. The applicant shall be required to submit an open space plan along with the PUD development plan. The open space plan will illustrate the use and/or function of the open space area or areas. The open space plan shall include any proposed improvements and/or design of the open space area.
Proposed Lot Width Required Open Space 72’ or more 0% Less than 72’ – 65’ 7% Less than 65’ – 55’ 12% Less than 55’ 15% D. Perimeter Buffer. PUDs shall provide a landscaping buffer to screen homes from arterial and major collector roads. E. Public Accessibility. When a PUD includes natural features such as creeks, streams, ponds, and lakes, the PUD shall provide public access to these features. F. Discretionary Standards. In addition to the above standards, the City Council may impose such other standards for a PUD project as are reasonable and as the Council deems are necessary to protect and promote the general health, safety, and welfare of the community and surrounding areas. G. Prohibited Features and Modifications.
Page 5 of 16
I. The City will not grant side setbacks that result in less than a 15-foot minimum required separation between two detached dwellings. II. PUDs with detached homes shall be designed to avoid interior perimeter roads that are parallel to arterial roadways. Roadways should be curvilinear wherever feasible with a variety of building orientation along arterial roadways.
III. PUDs cannot request flexibility from meeting the minimum required screening and/or buffering standards otherwise required in the Zoning Ordinance unless the applicant can show there is a site constraint out of their control that justifies a deviation from these requirements, proposes an alternative screening method that will meet the intent of the requirements, and/or proposes relocating screening methods to a more beneficial location within the development. Subd. 7. PUD Benefits. PUDs are expected to provide a combination of public benefits in exchange for flexibility in Zoning Ordinance requirements. A. All new PUDs of 30 or more acres that have not submitted a PUD sketch plan for City Council review prior to [date of adoption] shall be reviewed by staff against Corcoran’s PUD Point System hereby made a part of this Section. Projects of 30 acres or more must receive a minimum score of 75% of the applicable and attainable points for the project in order for staff to forward the project to the Planning Commission and City Council with a recommendation of approval. A score of 75% of higher does not guarantee City Council approval. The City Council shall use their statutory discretion in determining approval or denial of the PUD rezoning request. B. An applicant may petition for credit of a proposed PUD benefit that is not captured by Corcoran’s PUD Point System and is not otherwise required in the underlying zoning district. If the petition is granted, the PUD benefit shall only be allotted up to 10 points.
Page 6 of 16
C. Projects less than 30 acres shall provide at least three public benefits contemplated within Corcoran’s PUD Point System in order for staff to forward the application to the Planning Commission and City Council with a recommendation of approval. Complaince with this standard does not guarantee City Council approval, and the City Council may use their statutory discretion in determining approval or denial of the PUD rezoning request. An applicant may petition for credit of a proposed PUD benefit that is not captured by Corcoran’s PUD Point System. If the petition is granted, the remaining two PUD benefits must be based on the PUD Point System. D. A PUD that offers tree preservation as a public benefit will be required to replace any removed trees that were intended for preservation on a 1:1 caliper inch basis. Subd. 68. Processing Procedures. The general sequence for application, review and action on a PUD shall be according to the following procedures:
A. Pre-application Conference
Prior to filing of an application or submittal of a sketch plan the applicant shall arrange for and attend a conference with the Zoning Administrator. The primary purpose of the conference shall be to provide the applicant with an opportunity to gather information and obtain guidance as to the general suitability of the proposal for the area and its conformity to the provisions of this district prior to incurring substantial expenditures in the preparation of plans, surveys, and other data.
B. PUD Sketch Plan
Prior to filing a preliminary PUD development plan application, the applicant shall submit a sketch plan of the project to the Zoning Administrator prior to submission of a formal application. The Zoning Administrator shall refer the sketch plan to the City Council for discussion, review and informal comment. Any opinions or comments provided to the applicant shall be considered advisory only and shall not constitute a binding decision on the request. The purpose of the sketch plan is to inform the City of the applicant’s intentions and to inform the applicant as to the general acceptability of the proposal before extensive costs are incurred. The PUD Sketch Plan shall be conceptual in nature but shall be drawn to scale and shall contain at a minimum the following:
Page 7 of 16
1. Location map showing the location within the City and more detailed locations on half-section plat maps showing all perimeter property lines. 2. Aerial photograph of the area. 3. General location of all identified natural resources and wetland inventories on and abutting the premise. 4. General location of existing and proposed structures. 5. Tentative access, circulation and street arrangements, both public and private. 6. Amenities to be provided such as recreational areas, open space, walkways, parking, landscaping, etc. 7. A representative example of the style of structures to be constructed. 8. Proposed public sanitary sewer, water and storm drainage. 9. A general statement of concept, identifying the intent of the project and compatibility with the surrounding area. 10. Extent of and any proposed modifications to land within the Overlay Districts as described and regulated in Section 1050. 11. Any other items as may be deemed necessary by City staff.
(Ord. 286, passed 9-25-14)
C. Neighborhood Meeting Prior to filing an application or submittal of a preliminary PUD plan, the applicant shall arrange and conduct a neighborhood meeting with notice provided to property owners within at least 350 feet of the desired site’s perimeter. The primary purpose of this meeting shall be to provide information on a proposed development to surrounding neighborhoods and allow feedback to be provided and incorporated early in the process. An application for a preliminary PUD development plan will not be considered complete until after a neighborhood meeting is held.
D. Preliminary PUD Development Plan The purpose of the preliminary PUD development plan is to establish the intent, density, and intensity of the proposed development. Upon receipt of the complete application for rezoning to PUD and the preliminary PUD
Page 8 of 16
development plan, the item shall be scheduled for a public hearing at the Planning Commission. The Planning Commission shall conduct a public hearing in accordance with the provisions of the City’s Code. Upon due consideration, the Planning Commission shall make a recommendation to the City Council. Following the Planning Commission recommendation, the City Council shall consider the rezoning request and preliminary PUD development plan. At this meeting the City Council shall receive the recommendation from the Planning Commission and a report from the City Staff. Upon due consideration the City Council shall approve, disapprove, or approve with specified modifications and/or conditions by majority vote. If a preliminary development plan has been denied by the City Council, the owner or applicant may not reapply for the same or similar on the same property for a six (6) month period following the date of the denial.
E. Final PUD Development Plan The applicant shall submit a final PUD development plan to the City. The Planning Commission shall review the final plan in accordance with the provisions of this Section. The Planning Commission shall review the application to ensure that the proposed final PUD development plan is in substantial conformance with the approved preliminary PUD development plan. Upon due consideration the Planning Commission shall make their recommendation to the City Council. Following the Planning Commission recommendation, the City Council shall consider the final development plan. Upon due consideration the City Council shall approve, disapprove, or approve with specified modifications and/or conditions by majority vote. If the applicant desires, and the City Council concurs, the preliminary and final development plans may be processed concurrently, provided all items required for both applications are submitted. The rezoning of the property defined in the development plan shall not become effective until such time as the City Council approves an ordinance reflecting said amendment, which shall take place at the time that the City Council approves the final development plan. Subd. 7 9. Required Findings. The Planning Commission and the City Council shall find the following prior to the approval of a preliminary development plan or final development plan: A. The planned development is not in conflict with the Comprehensive Plan.
Page 9 of 16
B. The planned development is not in conflict with the intent of the underlying zoning district and is compatible with surrounding land uses. C. The planned development is not in conflict with other applicable provisions of the City’s Zoning Ordinance. D. The planned development or unit thereof is of sufficient size, composition, and arrangement that its construction, marketing, and/or operation is feasible as a complete unit without dependence upon any other subsequent unit or phase. E. The planned development will not create an excessive burden on parks, schools, streets and other public facilities and utilities which serve or are proposed to serve the planned development. F. The planned development will not have an undue and adverse impact on the reasonable enjoyment of the neighborhood property. G. The quality of the building and site design proposed by the PUD plan shall substantially enhance the aesthetics of the site, shall demonstrate higher standards, more efficient and effective uses of streets, utilities and public facilities, it shall maintain and enhance any natural resources within the development, and create a public benefit that is greater than what would be achieved through the strict application of the primary zoning regulations. Subd. 8 10. Preliminary Development Plan Content. The intent of the preliminary development plan is to allow City review of site plan and general development issues, without the need for detailed architectural plans. The applicant shall submit preliminary development plans which include the following: A. A location map which indicates existing and future land uses. B. Maps of existing and proposed site features and uses at a minimum scale of 1” = 100’ scale which indicates topography in two-foot contours; building outlines; location of significant vegetation; water bodies and wetlands; location of streets, drives and parking areas; and other significant features. C. A site plan showing all proposed structure and building locations including signs. Plans shall note structure height, general architectural design features and anticipated exterior materials.
Page 10 of 16
D. A preliminary circulation plan indicating pedestrian and vehicular movement systems. This plan shall also include service access and screening for receiving material and trash removal. E. Preliminary drainage, grading, utility and erosion control plans. F. A concept landscaping plan illustrating preservation of existing vegetation, and new landscaping and buffer areas. G. A written report which describes the proposed uses, indicates covenants or agreements which will influence the use and maintenance of the proposed development, describes the analysis of site conditions and development objectives which has resulted in the planned development proposal, and statement of which primary zoning district provisions are being modified by the planned development. H. A shift of density or intensity of the plan, if applicable. For example, a ten-acre site with seven acres of “Commercial” guiding and three acres of “Medium Density Residential” guiding could be developed with 70 percent of the land area commercial and 30 percent of the land area at the Medium Residential density identified in the Comprehensive Plan. This type of shift would only be allowed as part of a PUD and the location of uses within the site would be determined as part of the PUD process. This implementation technique would not require an amendment to the Land Use Guide Plan Map. I. Any other information deemed necessary by the City Staff in order to evaluate plans. J. Twenty copies of the above information shall be submitted no larger than 11 x 17 inches. K. Five copies of the above information shall be submitted on 24 x 36 inch sheets. L. For City initiated rezonings to Planned Unit Development District, the preliminary development plan may consist of any information deemed necessary to identify and protect the public interest. Subd. 9 11. Final Development Plan Content. The final development plan shall include all of the information required for submission of the preliminary development plan plus architectural plans, detailed site, landscaping, grading and utility plans and all additional information which was requested by the planning commission as a result of its review of the preliminary plan. The final plan shall incorporate all recommendations of the planning commission and City Council, or shall indicate how the final plan fails to incorporate the
Page 11 of 16
commission's recommendations. The final plan shall also include and reflect all changes in preliminary plan data since the submission of the preliminary plan. The applicant shall submit final development plans which include the following information: A. A location map which indicates existing and future land uses. B. Maps of existing and proposed site features and uses at a minimum scale of 1” =100’ scale which indicate topography in two-foot contours; building outlines; location of significant vegetation; location of streets, drives and parking areas; and other significant features. C. Detailed drawings of all proposed structure elevations, including scaled elevations and exterior building materials of all buildings and signs. Samples of all proposed materials which will be used on the exterior of structures may be required with the elevation drawings. D. Proposed floor plans for all floor levels of multi-family and non-residential buildings, including locations of electrical, mechanical and gas metering equipment, and storage areas for trash and recyclable materials. E. A landscape plan indicating tree, shrub and ground cover species, size, provisions for plant material watering. F. A final circulation plan indicating pedestrian and vehicular movement systems. This plan shall also include service access for receiving and trash/recycling removal. G. A lighting plan showing foot-candle levels, luminaire location, fixture type and height. H. Rooftop equipment and screening plan and elevation drawings of rooftop equipment and screening of views from adjacent streets and property. I. A final drainage, grading, utility, and erosion and sedimentation control plan. Such plans shall comply with the requirements of this Ordinance. J. Identification and delineation of all wetlands on the site including preservation and filling and mitigation. K. A written report which completely describes the proposal and indicates covenants or agreements which will influence the use and maintenance of the proposed development, describes the analysis of site conditions and development objectives which has resulted in the planned development proposal, describes any changes from the approved preliminary
Page 12 of 16
development plan, and statement of which primary zoning district provisions are being modified by the planned development. L. A shift of density or intensity of the plan, if applicable. For example, a ten-acre site with seven acres of “Commercial” guiding and three acres of “Urban Residential” guiding could be developed with 70 percent of the land area commercial and 30 percent of the land area at the urban residential density identified in the Comprehensive Plan. This type of shift would only be allowed as part of a PUD and the location of uses within the site would be determined as part of the PUD process. This implementation technique would not require an amendment to the Land Use Guide Plan Map. M. Any other information deemed necessary by the City Staff in order to evaluate plans. N. Twenty copies of the above information shall be submitted no larger than 11 x 17 inches. O. Five copies of the above information shall be submitted on 24 x 36 inch sheets. Subd. 10 12. Performance Guarantees A. The City Council shall require the owner and developer of a PUD to execute a development agreement which may include, but not be limited to, the approved development plan, conditions of approval, association and maintenance agreements, and a timetable for construction. B. The City Council shall require an applicant for PUD rezoning/development plan to provide a financial guarantee in accordance with Section 1070.050 of this Chapter to ensure that the development will be executed in performance with the approved final PUD development plan. C. The City Council is empowered to require that all required improvements be constructed and completed prior to the issuance of any occupancy permits. D. Construction of each PUD development shall be commenced within one year after the effective date of the PUD rezoning by the City Council. Upon good cause shown, the City Council may extend the time for one additional year. If construction is not commenced within these time periods, any building permits issued for the PUD shall be void and the Planning Commission may initiate proceeding to rezone the subject property.

E. Any building permit issued for construction pursuant to PUD rezoning shall be valid only so long as there is compliance with the final development plan as accepted by the City Council. Subd. 11 13. Changes To Final Development Plans. Minor changes to final development plans adopted by the City Council may be approved by the City Administrator, provided that the changes do not involve the following: A. Increase in floor area of structures or number of dwelling units. B. Change in exterior building material. C. Alteration of any condition attached or modification to the final development plan made by the City Council. D. A major change to a final development plan which is at variance with any standards of the City Code or is less restrictive than any conditions of approval for the initial final development plan, shall require approval by a majority vote of all members of the City Council.

Corcoran PUD Points System
1. Placement of uses so as to integrate with adjacent uses.
Purpose: To reward developments that make connections to adjacent properties and uses.
Criteria: Points will be awarded if there is an opportunity to connect adjacent uses and such
connections are made. If no opportunities exist, the category will be eliminated.
25 points maximum for the following:
- 5 points will be awarded for placing features, such as private parks and conservation areas,
contiguous to existing or planned private parks or conservation areas (as long as there was a
choice to put it somewhere else.)
- 10 points will be awarded if there are no restrictions for public access to these areas. Public
parks are not eligible.
- 5 points will be awarded if there is a conscious effort to link the neighborhood to public or semi-
public uses (schools, religious institutions, etc.).
- 5 points will also be awarded for developers who give adjacent development the opportunity to
link to the development in question.
2. Collaboration with adjoining landowner(s).
Purpose: To encourage an open dialogue between many landowners.
Criteria: Points will be awarded on a case-by-case basis when collaboration is demonstrated.
10 points maximum
Applicants must host a neighborhood meeting early in the process as part of the PUD process.
Applicants will get collaboration points if they demonstrate that they incorporated feedback and
continued ongoing discussions in an effort to work with neighboring property owners to create a
more unified plan for the larger neighborhood. Collaboration may also offer a better chance to gain
points in other categories.
3. Appropriately located neighborhood scale commercial/office uses.
Page 2 of 9
Purpose: To reward developments
that provide small scale
commercial/office uses.
Criteria: Points will be awarded on
a case-by-case basis.
Category will be
considered on a very
limited basis. This
category is typically not
applied to land guided as
low-density residential in
the City’s Comprehensive
Plan; however,
consideration will be
given to appropriately
located non-residential
uses contemplated in RSF-
1, RSF-2, or RSF-3 (e.g.,
daycare facilities, educational facilities, and places of worship).
10 points maximum
4. Percentage of units within ¼ mile of an identifiable neighborhood focal point.
Purpose: Encouragement to give
new neighborhoods a
unique identity and to
serve as an ordering
device.
Criteria: Percentage of units / 2
50 points maximum
Examples include the following:
parks, greens, squares,
monuments, historic structures
(silos, barns, granaries,
foundations, community gardens,
etc.).
5. Distribution of attached units.
Purpose: Encourage smaller clusters of attached units.
Criteria: Points = (50 – A)
A = the largest percentage of attached units in any one group.
Page 3 of 9
40 points maximum
Example: If there are 100 attached units in a project, and the largest group has 30 units in it, then
20 points would be awarded.
Under this criterion, a PUD must have at least 3 groups of attached units to get any points.
6. Creation of open space using multi-story buildings.
Purpose: Promote the creation of open using multi-story buildings.
Criteria: Points will be awarded if it was demonstrated that the applicant had purposefully used
multi-story buildings for the purpose of creating open space.
10 points maximum
This criterion wouldn’t apply to PUDs for land guided as existing residential or low density
residential in the City’s Comprehensive Plan.
7. Visual Termini
Purpose: Encourage the placement of monuments, statutes, gazebos, or other landmarks at the
end of
streets.
Criteria: Points will be
awarded if
visual
termini are
provided.
5 points maximum
Page 4 of 9
8. Attached units are embedded.
Purpose: Reduce the amount of attached units visible from major roadways.
Criteria: Points = (50 – A) / 2
Where A = (% of the perimeter roadway in linear feet with attached units).
25 points maximum
Examples: A development has 1,000 linear feet of arterial roadway and 200 feet of the arterial
roadway has attached units adjacent to it.
“A” = 20 so
Points = (50 -20) / 2 = 15
Only areas where there is an opportunity to build units will be included in the total perimeter
measurement. Wetlands or otherwise unbuildable areas will not be included.
Attached units are not considered to abut the ROW if there is an outlot or feature between them
and the ROW of the area is landscaped and/or has a setback exceeding 60 feet.
If the percentage of ROW with abutting attached units is over 50%, the development will get zero
points in this category.
This criterion is only applicable to proposals with land guided as low-density, medium-density, or
mixed residential and detached units are a component of the proposed development. Areas guided
for high-density and mixed use are not subject to this criterion.
9. Exceptional landscaping to buffer homes major roads.
Purpose: Buffer homes from major roadways.
Criteria: Score will be based on criteria below:
- At least 70% evergreen trees but no more than 85% (10 points)
- Undulating berms (10
points)
- Decorative open
fencing (10 points)
- Understory trees and
shrubs (10 points)
- All vegetation must
be salt tolerant. (10
points)
- Retention of existing woods may qualify as well and can be awarded up to 10 bonus points
in this category.
50 points maximum
10. Percentage of units within 1,000 feet walk from a park.
Page 5 of 9
Purpose: Promote location of parks within a short walk from people’s homes.
Criteria: Percentage / 10

Purpose: Encourage the creation of off-road trails within a neighborhood.
Criteria: Points will be awarded for the creation of internal trails to provide pedestrian and/or
bicycle movement within a development.
10 points maximum
12. Cul-de-sacs are open ended
Purpose: Foster the creation of pedestrian and bicycle connections or trail systems along arterial
and collector roadways.
Criteria: Points = (% of cul-de-sacs that are open ended) / 20
5 points maximum
Cul-de-sac with a trail connection to the arterial at the end.
13. Open Space is consolidated and usable.
Purpose: Create open space areas that can be usable to the neighborhood, either passively or
actively.
Criteria: Points will be awarded based on the following guidelines:
- Buildings should be organized around the open space.
- Open space should be a framing and organizing feature.
- Open space should be accessible to the local population (within the neighborhood).
Page 6 of 9
- Open space should be designed in such a way that it doesn’t appear like it is someone’s
backyard.
- Stormwater ponds should be incorporated as a design feature.
- 5 bonus points will be provided if the applicant commits to privately owned open space
being made accessible and usable to the public.
25 points maximum with 5 bonus points possible.
14. Open space is connected with green (natural) corridors.
Purpose: Connect open spaces and reduce the occurrent of isolated open space areas.
Criteria: Points will be awarded for linking open space areas with natural corridors.
10 points maximum
Combining open space areas, trails, and storm ponds is a good way to get points in this category.
15. Viable open space master plan is created.
Purpose: Encourage developers to create a unified open space plan for their proposed
neighborhoods and to use that open space as an organizing device for the
neighborhood.
Criteria: Points will be awarded for providing a plan that highlights open space areas and the
pedestrian corridors and connections between them.
5 points maximum
16. Natural resources and features are retained.
Purpose: Encourage the preservation significant or unique natural resources and/or topographical
features if they exist.
Criteria: Points will be awarded if significant and unique natural features are retained. (Examples
include trees, ravines, hilltops)
20 points maximum
17. Extensive internal landscaping.
Page 7 of 9
Purpose: Encourage a larger amount of landscaping than required by code.
Criteria: (% of landscaping units above minimum) / 10
10 points maximum
Examples: 100 units required, 120 units provided = 2 points
18. Use of native plants in landscaping.
Purpose: Use vegetation that is better adapted to our climate to reduce water consumption and
required maintenance.
Criteria: Points will be awarded if landscaping incorporates appropriate use of native plants.
5 points maximum
19. Existing rural structures are retained and/or reused
Purpose: Preserve existing structures that are in good condition and have historical value.
Criteria: 10 points awarded if a structure is retained
5 bonus points are awarded for the preservation of a silo (for a total of 15 points in this
category).
10 points maximum with an additional 5 bonus points.
Incorporation of existing structures, foundations, etc., into the development for aesthetic and
historic preservation purposes.
Examples are barns, silos, foundations, etc., If structures are structurally unsound and removal is
advised, a developer would not be penalized for their removal.
Historic structures can be used as identifiable neighborhood centers if integrated into park/open
space.
Developers, homebuilders, Homeowner Associations, and homebuyers will not be required to retain
historical structures that were retained as a public benefit in the approval of a PUD when it is
determined it is no longer structurally or financially feasible. If/when this occurs, a small monument,
such as a plaque, would satisfy the intent of this category.
20. Higher Architectural Standards
Purpose: Encourage a higher architectural standard within PUD proposals.
Criteria: Points will be awarded where the developer goes above and beyond the architectural
standards required in code. Points will be awarded when plans for residential
developments that include recommended architectural styles and elements noted in the
Southeast District Plan.
10 points maximum

or other open space.
Criteria: 1 point per acre of dedicated parkland (acceptable to the City) or other open space
areas that are in outlots or conservation easements.
No maximum points.
Wetlands and areas on steep slopes would not count.
Open space areas must be 50 feet or larger in the smallest dimension to be counted in this category.
25. Innovation and Utilization of New Technologies and Materials
Purpose: Reward innovative proposals that include new and creative design approaches and/or
utilize new technologies and/or building materials within the overall site layout,
buildings, and/or other development features.
Criteria: Points will be awarded where the applicant’s plans feature creative and efficient
methods of design or incorporate new technologies or materials. For example, the use

Subject: PUD Ordinance Update
Hi Natalie,
I mentioned that I had a few comments regarding the PUD ordinance update and the proposed points
system, and since we didn’t have a PC meeting last night, passing them along via e-mail for
consideration.
1. Are there too many categories creating extra work for staff and confusion for potential
developers? I thought that categories 4, 6, 7, 12 and 15 were the ones that could warrant some
discussion for removal.
2. How are the bonus points handled in determining the denominator in the 75% calculation? Are
they truly bonus points or does the maximum amount of the bonus get included in the
denominator? How about category 24 where there is no maximum, what is included in the
denominator if this category is included in the overall 75% calculation?
3. The categories that are weighted the highest (greater than 10 points) are 1, 4, 5, 8, 9, 13, 16, 21,
and 24. I thought that most of these made sense, except for category 4. Why is category 4 so
highly valued at 50 points? I also thought that category 16 at 20 points max could be weighted
higher.
No need for a response, just wanted to pass along my notes. Let me know if you have questions on
anything.

Subject: PUD Categories
Natalie,
I received your voicemail earlier today about the cancellation of tonight's attempt to
reschedule the Planning meeting from last week. Since it seems that the PUD ordinance will go
before Council before the Planning Commission is able to meet again, I want to email some
thoughts and responses to the questions Council was asking the Planning Commission to
consider on the topic.
Question #1: What point categories should be adjusted in terms of the amount or how the
points are allotted?
I was hoping to receive additional information and explanation on the PUD category awarded
50 points for the percentage of units within ¼ mile of a neighborhood focal point. This is one of
three items that is ranked the highest in number of points. In my limited knowledge of the
subject, a neighborhood focal point helps to create a sense of community and achieves a higher
green score because of the walkability factor. These are great but I would like to know why else
it is scored so highly. In my opinion other subjects such as native plants, restoration or
preservation of natural resources have a greater impact on the environment in the long run and
are ranked significantly less than this category.
I believe that PUD category #18 Use of native plants in landscaping should be higher than five
points, especially if we included native grasses and small growing clover rather than turf grasses
as an option. The category #19 for preserving rural structures is higher than native plantings
and this seems unbalanced in its longterm impact.
I would be interested in discussing the increase of points for proposal #3 appropriately located
neighborhood scale commercial/office uses. In the past, I heard a proposal before Council for a
small business. The owner stated that the requirements for the development of the road
would be the thing that might keep him from being able to pursue this proposal. I'm wondering
if this category could be an opportunity for small business owners to work with larger
developers. If so, I would see this as a category more valuable than 10 points.
Question #2: Are there additional categories that should be added?
The ordinance proposal does feel bulky in its length; however, if this process is to be
implemented in practice, it seems that more categories will be needed in order to achieve
diverse benefits for various plots of land. Not all plots of land or proposals will find every PUD
category relevant so when the irrelevant categories are removed, will enough categories
remain to justify a benefit? As a result of this thinking, I have come up with several other
categories for consideration. I am not certain if all or any of these are legally possible, but I was
trying to think outside the box.
Suggested categories:
• Lawns into legumes-rather than planting lawns, large green or common areas with non-
native, heavily irrigated turf grasses, give credit for multi-spieces prairie or native
grasses. I see this as a category eligible for points based on percentage of area or by
acre.
• onsite neighborhood compost system-this could be built in a common space and be a
place for the residents to compost kitchen scraps, lawn clippings, sticks, etc as well as
for residents to retireve the dirt from the completed composting process. I see this as a
benefit because people wouldn't need to haul these things far away to hennepin county
sites, and they wouldn't then have to pay for the rich compost to amend their gardens
and pot their plants, etc
• pervious trails, driveways, walkways-this would reduce the amount impact a new
development would have on stormwater (I know this something like this could fit under
the existing exceptional environmental efforts category but thought perhaps if we made
a few specific environmental efforts their own category it may be helpful)
• Local contractors or suppliers for materials or landscaping-if there were a certain
number of contracts that the developer filled with local (we could define what radius
this would be) contracts then the businesses in our area would see a benefit from the
development. Another bonus would be reduced transportation distance for those
materials.
• Minimum number of backyards facing streets because it results in high privacy fences-
this is one, I'm not sure is applicable and may be too similar to the exceptional
buffering/landscaping on major roads
• Percentage of homes deeded as afforadable housing only-it is my understanding that
when a developer is asked to do more to benefit the future residents and the city, it can
have an impact on the cost of the houses built in that development. I want to ensure a
high standard of development but find a way to achieve accessibility.
• Edible landscaping-this doesn't necessisarily need to be on private resident's home but
in the common, greenspace, or boulevard plantings and it could be considered edible if
it was consumable by humans or specific plantings for birds (such as hawthorn trees)
• Age/height/girth of trees planted at the time of development-I have received feedback
from Ravinia residents who are displeased with the fact that evey tree is essentially the
same size and age and it will take so long for them to mature. What if we awared points
for the percentage of more mature trees or varied aged trees that were planted at the
time of development? In the long run this benefits a development not only in
appearance but the varied ages of trees means a more diverse life cycle of the trees
themselves as well as the animals that inhabit them.
Question #3 Are there categories that bring up concerns and/or be removed?
Proposed category #8 Attached units are embedded: My concern with this category is that
while it may be more visualing appealing from the roadway, I believe the market supports the
fact that single family homes desire more seclusion and would prefer the interior lots. Since
attached units have a higher density wouldn't having them embedded also drive more traffic
through residential neighborhoods rather than keeping it on the outskirts? Additionally, single
family residents along roadways would be more likely to put up privacy fencing so rather than a
row of attached homes, we may just get a row of fencing. I think perhaps we should consider a
landscaping or buffering requirement for having attached homes along roadways or the
exterior or developments.
Proposed category #9 Exceptional landscaping to buffer home major roads: The currently lists a
requirement of at least 70% of evergreen trees. If these are non-native evergreen trees they
will not thrive and will end up looking brown, dying or being clipped from the bottom as they
grow. Do we want to be this specific with the evergreen requirement? If so, should we not also
specify that they must be native evergreen trees?
Question #4 Are there categories or descriptions that could use additional clarity?
Proposed category #22 Natural restoration work: Would this need to be certified? It states
that buckthorn removal would qualify and I'm wondering if we are considering removal to be
the removal/grinding of the stumps or the chemical application to the cut stumps or
both? Buckthorn is persistent and the seeds can lay dorment in the soil for years. If we are
giving credit for this restoration, how are we determining the efficacy of the effort or does that
not have a bearing on the category?
Proposed category #10 Percentage of units within 1,000 feet walk from a park-how are we
defining a park? Does it require a playground structure, a bench, or simply green space? I
would think any of the previous would qualify but I wasn't certain.
In conclusion, I have some concerns not specific to the categories themselves but to the process
in general. I do not want this to make housing more unaffordable by increasing costs
significantly for homebuyers and even if it doesn't, I would like to see an effort made to
incorporate an affordable housing component to the process. I am concerned about who/how
the open areas or preserved natural resources will be maintained. It is a myth that nature
doesn't need human stewardship to thrive. In the currrent state of our environment, lack of
herd animals and natural fire to name a few, nature needs wise human interaction in order to
thrive. For example, a wooded area that is not occassionally burned will have a buildup of
leaves that prevents the native seeds from reaching the soil and germinating. If that same are
is not ever pruned or harvested for timber than the trees will block out the sunlight preventing
younger seedlings from establishing well and the area may not have a diverse age of trees to
sustain it in a healthy manner. Lastly, I am not against attached homes or associations but since
the early 2000s there has been a significant increase in the number of homes (single family and
multi-family) that have HOAs. I want to ensure that the PUD categories do not in fact force or
show favored support for such associations. In other words, could a developer come in without
an HOA and still be able to meet the requirements of natural corriders, open green spaces, etc
and not have to have an HOA that maintains those areas for the long-term.
Thank you,

Hello Natalie, I hope you are having a good day.
Here are a few thoughts that can be shared.
Other Ideas for points
- Build playgrounds or other recreational areas
- Create community gardens/farms in developments
- Community shelter or building with picnic area
Pag 1 of 8
- #3 – I like this one and was wondering if it should be more points
- #9 – I was wondering if we should have more criteria
o For instance, what if I have 1 foot of fence, plant 1 evergreen tree, plant 1 shrub. Is that
30 points?
o What determines buffering
- #11 – Wondering if we need criteria listed or is it subjective by the city

Subject: Feedback
Thank you, Natalie.
I would like to refer the Council to my previous commentary about the PUD point system. Briefly, I think
that, as a concept, the point system is simultaneously too rigid, and too squishy. It is rigid because it
provides 2 dozen points to categories defined by the current administration. It is squishy because many
of those categories issue points on a subjective basis for subjective elements of a development. If this is
an administrative function, those awards may be left to the discretion of staff, which I see as a potential
issue. Furthermore, I sense that any PUD application that meets the threshold for points (and is
therefore heard by the Council), will invariably be approved because developers will rely on those
categories to obtain an approval. The City will face a hard road if it denies an application that met the
points threshhold for this reason. I think that this is a legal doctrine, too, called estoppel. Basically, the
City could be precluded from denying an application that meets the points threshold because applicants
would rely on those categories for approval. In other words, developers will argue that the City has told
developers what the City wants to see. If a developer does that, and gets denied, I could see legal
challenges.
I sense that my comments above have not swayed the Council, and it seems to me like the bigger
question of whether this is something the City should do at all has apparently been decided already.
Therefore, to answer your specific questions:
1 What point categories should be adjusted in terms of the amount or how points are allotted?
For any point category that provides a “maximum” or “case by case” should be reworded to either
provide all the points, or none. Again, I think that the points system is too rigid because it defines a
rubric that applies to all PUD regardless of their individual characteristics. The points system draft tries
to get around this reality by making it more subjective, and including the language like “maximum.” If it
is not practical to award points on an all or nothing basis for a category, then I think that category
should be removed, especially since this will be an administrative function (i.e., points awards shouldn’t
be close calls left to unelected staff).
1 Are there additional categories that should be added?
Conformance with pre-existing zoning district lot sizes, or
75% of units have lot sizes of at least 1/3 acre.
I just note these here for discussion.
1 Are there categories that bring up concerns and/or be removed?
See my comment above re: “maximums". I think that the points system categories should be
significantly narrowed, and the points requirement should be reduced. For example, require 10 points
out of 15 categories, with each category having one point available for an award. This will make it easier
to identify, and will, in fairness to applicants, not have them rely on checking a significant number of
boxes.
I think it may be easier to share the categories that I think can be kept:

Award one point per, if 8-10 points are met, then it moves on in the application process. In short, I think
that if the points system is the direction that the Council wants to take, it should be simple and just an
initial “check” of only the most important categories before moving on.
1 Are there categories or descriptions that could use additional clarity?
See comment above re: maximum point awards.
These are just my quick thoughts. I hope they make sense. Thank you, Natalie.

Council Meeting:
March 23, 2023
Prepared By:
Jessica Beise/Kevin Mattson
Topic:
2023A Bonds Discussion
Action Required:
Approval
Summary:
The city has been working over the last year to align the bond issuance for 2023 to
include the variety of infrastructure projects that are slated for this year. The projects
include the construction of water supply facilities, improvements to Hackamore Road, a
storm water improvement project along Horseshoe Bend, and street improvements for
City Center Drive and 79th Place.
In preparation for the bonding sale, staff reviewed costs and recommends the adjusted
amounts included in the attached draft Total Issue Sources and Uses from Northland
Securities.
The changes to the bonds for each project fund are outlined below.
•Water Supply Infrastructure – the deposit to the construction fund increased by
$1,300,000 as the result of including the construction administration engineering
proposal with the bond sale ($1,107,560) and finalizing the contract bid
alternates ($192,440). It was originally anticipated that the engineering services
proposal would be financed with cash from the water fund (and this is still an
option), but staff believes there may be value in preserving additional cash
reserves.
•Hackamore Road Improvements – the deposit to the construction fund was
reduced by $5,000 and the bonding portion decreased by $775,000 as staff
proposes utilizing eligible Municipal State Aid funds.
•Horseshoe Bend Drainage Improvements – the deposit to the construction fund
was reduced by $125,000 to match recently approved project design cost
estimate.
•City Center Drive and 79th Place Street Improvements – the deposit to the
construction fund was increased by $1,000,000 as the result of updated design
considerations (streetscape/electrical) and revised cost estimates. Funding
source adjustments were increased to bonding ($615,000), eligible Municipal
State Aid funds ($100,000), and Planned Issuer Equity Contributions - St.
Therese Development ($280,000).
Considering the proposed changes in bonding amounts and individual project financial
plans, staff wanted to update Council and ensure that Council was comfortable with the
updated bonding plan.
Page 2
Specifically, staff would like input on the use of water fund cash reserves that could
offset some of the bonding costs. In speaking with the City Financial Advisor Tammy
Omdal, the bonding plan as presented with the staff recommendations would not be a
material change and is in alignment with the city’s recent financial planning efforts.
Additionally, this financial package proposes that the city use 3 years of the possible 5
years of future Municipal State Aid allotments ($975,000).
It should be noted that approximately $1,000,000 of the proposed bonding sale covers
deferred compensation consistent with each individual projects financial plan.
Bonds would be sold at the April 13th meeting.
Recommendation:
Staff would recommend the bonding plan as presented.
Council Action:
Direct staff to finalize the sale of bonds in the amount of $27,135,000.

Lindsay Marie Jacobs
I was raised in Corcoran from 1995 - 2011, and then became a full time resident again in May 2022.
I served as an intern for the Corcoran City Park & Trails Commission, from approximately 2008 - 2010. I havebeen involved in a number of non-profit organization committees for fundraising and have led the HomecomingCommittee for Concordia College, which involved managing over 35 individuals for all elements of the annualevent.
I feel that I bring a historical understanding and context of the area (having grown up here) and a fresh perspective as I've most recently lived in Moorhead, MN, and St. Paul, MN as well.
IIn my professional life, I work in a corporate sales environment where I am required to manage multi-million dollar contracts and sales pursuits with Fortune 500 organizations. I mention this because I think there are noteable skills that apply to managing varying opinions, belief systems, and priorities to accomplish a goal like isnecessary on the commission team. I am trained in servant leadership through my Masters in Business Administration, and exercise my passion for people in every day life as I engage with my colleagues and community.
I have a vested interest in Corcoran thriving and flourishing as I plan to raise children here and continue the legacy that my parents started back in 1995 when they built our hobby farm in Corcoran, which I now own and live on. I understand and appreciate the rural lifestyle and would like to be involved in the principles andvalues we define to foster our growing and beautiful community.

RFPs – City vs. Developer Costs
Action Required:
Direction
Summary:
In December of 2022, staff was directed to reintroduce information to Council regarding
City Consultant Requests For Proposals (RFP). In reviewing City Council agenda
history and city files, it appears 2009 was the last time a full RFP process was
conducted for City Consultants. At the February 9, 2023 City Council meeting, staff was
directed to bring back additional information related to City costs versus development
costs for consultants. Attached is an outline of those City Costs versus those paid by
development.
In past discussions with the Council, there has been discussion of conducting RFPs on
a regular schedule. Council should provide feedback to staff on the following: Which
consultant services should be sent for RFP? How often should RFPs be completed? Is
the City interested in completing an RFP in 2023? If so, which service should be
considered first?
Financial/Budget:
Staff time and Council time would be expended on the process. No additional expenses
are anticipated.
Options:
1. Provide feedback to staff and determine if an RFP should be solicited for 2023.
Recommendation
Provide feedback to staff and determine if an RFP should be solicited for 2023.

Sports Star Photography Donation
Action Required:
Approval
Summary :
During the February 23, 2023 City Council meeting, a donation for $791.90 from Sports
Star Photography was brought forward. Staff was directed to look into alternative
options other than a direct financial donation (i.e., discounted rate to those that order
photos). Since that meeting, staff has worked with Sports Star Photography to
determine other options.
Sports Star Photography has informed staff they would be willing to offer free shipping
to the parents in the programs, which would take off $3.50 per order. The company
noted that this would likely be higher on average than the donation would have
otherwise been.
Staff is looking for feedback and guidance from City Council to determine if this option
meets the vision of the City Council.
Financi al/Bud get :
Staff time spent on photography coordination (i.e., coordinating dates, parent questions,
etc.) would no longer be offset by the yearly donation.
Options:
1.Direct staff to accept the check from the 2022 season and proceed with accepting
free shipping for parents.
2.Direct staff to decline the check from the 2022 season and proceed with accepting
free shipping for parents.
3.Direct staff to accept the check from the 2022 season and continue accepting yearly
donation.
4.Direct staff to further explore alternative options.
Recommendation
Direct staff to decline the check from the 2022 season and proceed with accepting free
shipping for parents.
Council Acti on:
Provide feedback to staff and determine if the 2022 season check will be accepted and
how to proceed with future photography donations.

Active Corcoran Planning Applications
The following is a status summary of active planning projects:
1.Transition/Buffer Zones ZOA (City File 22-034). After multiple discussions on this
topic in 2022, the City Council reviewed a draft of a Buffer Yard Ordinance at the January 26th
work session. Remaining questions and discussion regarding enforcement was discussed
further at the February 23rd regular Council meeting. The public hearing for this item is
scheduled for the April 6th Planning Commission meeting and will return to the City Council at
the April 27th Meeting.
2.Pioneer Trail Industrial Park, Rezoning and Preliminary Plat and PUD (PID 32-119-
23-34-0013, 32-119-23-34-0007, 32-119-23-43-0005 and 32-119-23-43-0006) (City File No.
22-039). An application was submitted to move forward with the preliminary approvals for the
Pioneer Trail Industrial Park off Highway 55. The item was reviewed by the Planning
Commission at a Public Hearing on December 1st and was recommended for approval on a 3-1
vote. The City Council reviewed this item at the January 12th meeting, and the application was
approved at the January 26th regular meeting.
3.PUD Standards Zoning Ordinance Amendment (City File No. 22-045). After various
discussions on planned unit development standards in 2022, staff and City Council continued
to discuss verbiage changes in the working draft of the new PUD district standards at the
January 26th City Council Work Session as well as a joint Work Session with the Planning
Commission and Parks and Trails Commission on February 9th. The Council asked the
Planning Commission to continue discussion of the point categories. This item is scheduled for
further discussion at the March 23rd Council Meeting. This is expected to go to the Planning
Commission for a public hearing in the first half of 2023.
4.Rental Ordinance (City File No. 22-046). Staff and City Council continue to work
through the draft ordinance and planning for administrative implementation. This item will go to
another Council work session on April 13th before proceeding with Council approval. Since the
Rental Ordinance will not be contained within the Zoning or Subdivision Ordinances of City
Code, a public hearing is not required.
Page 2 of 2
5.Keefe Minor Subdivision (PID 33-119-23-12-0007) (City File No. 22-063). An
application for a two-lot subdivision at 6801 Willow Drive was submitted. The application has

the Planning Commission and is tentatively scheduled for the April 27th City Council meeting.
6.Dish Tower Site Plan Amendment (PID 25-119-23-44-0005) (City File No. 22-066). A
minor site plan amendment application was submitted for installation of new ground equipment
at an existing telecommunications tower at 7205 County Road 101. The applicant provided all
the materials necessary, and staff approved this application administratively.
7.“Vollrath Compost Site Sketch Plan” (PID 19-119-23-12-0002) (City File No. 22-078).
Trent Vollrath submitted an application to ask the Council for feedback on allowing a
commercial compost site within the Rural Residential district. The application was determined
to be incomplete at this time.
8.“MS4 Updates” (Citywide) (City File No. 23-001). Staff anticipates needing to process
further changes to MS4-related regulations to comply with the City’s MS4 permit. Currently,
Public Works and Engineering are focusing efforts on establishing new requirements for salt
storage. The salt storage ordinance amendments are tentatively scheduled for Council review
on March 9th. The salt storage ordinance was approved by City Council at the March 9th
meeting.
9.“Gmach Accessory Dwelling Unit CUP” (PID 05-119-23-13-0011) (City File No. 23-
002). George Gmach submitted an application for a conditional use permit to allow an
accessory dwelling unit over 960 square feet at 22600 Oakdale Drive. This item was intended
to be discussed at the March Planning Commission meeting. Due to a lack of quorum, the
public hearing was rescheduled to the April 6th Planning Commission Meeting with City Council
Review on April 13th.
10.“Amira Village” (PID 25-119-23-12-0002) (City File No. 23-003). Hempel Acquisition
Company submitted a sketch plat application for a 141-unit development consisting of single-

File No. 23-004). Nathan Kariniemi of Willow1 LLC submitted a sketch plat application for an
Open Space & Preservation plat near Kariniemi Meadows on County Road 19 and County
Road 10. The plan includes three commercial lots that wrap around the existing Public Works
building in addition to 8 small residential lots off Larsen Road. The plat includes a 40-acre
outlot to be preserved as open space. The Council provided the applicant informal feedback on
their concept plan and is not scheduled for another meeting at this time.
12.“Kwik Trip CUP, Lot Line Adjustment, and Site Plan” (PID 12-119-23-14-0006; 12-
119-23-14-0004) (City File No. 23-005). Kwik Trip Inc. submitted a Site Plan, Lot Line
Adjustment and CUP application for the two parcels north of Mama G’s. The application was
determined to be incomplete for City review and is not currently scheduled for review by the

Re: Sewer and Water Connection at Address, Corcoran, MN. PID:
Dear Property Owner:
In 2016, the City initiated a utility and street improvement project including municipal sewer and water services in
the Corcoran downtown area. As part of this project and per City Ordinance 51.020, all commercial and industrial
properties are required to connect to these services. The original deadline to connect was May 1, 2019, however,
this deadline was extended by property owner(s)’ request. Subsequently, the deadline was extended several more
times and in 2022 was extended again until June 30, 2023.
Staff again received a property owner request for an extension and the Council reviewed this request on February
23, 2023. The Council has set a final deadline for connection and directed staff to follow-up with property owners.
The final deadline for connection to City sewer and water is October 31, 2024. Failure to connect by this deadline
may result in fines and penalties.
Specific language example: The City currently has a finance agreement in place for the street and utility project,
trunk line access fees, and connection fees. Fees due at permit issuance will include SAC, permit fees, and meter fee.
For permit information, please contact: Mike Pritchard 763-400-7033 or mpritchard@corcoranmn.gov.
Please feel free to reach out with questions.

Upon discovery on March 21, 2023 that the closed session was not on the agenda, staff
contacted the Mayor. The Mayor has requested an amendment to the agenda to include a
closed session and staff has revised the agenda for the City’s website and house agenda
packet.
The closed session will be closed in accordance with Minn. Stat. § 13D.03; 13D.05, subd. 3 to
consider develop offers or counteroffers for the purchase of property. The properties discussed
will be: PID 3611923330009 and PID 3611923330010.
