Planning Commission Meeting:
June 1, 2023
Prepared By:
Natalie Davis McKeown
Topic:
Zoning Ordinance Amendment to Section
1030.010
(City File No. 23-011)
Action Required:
Recommendation
60-Day Review Deadline: N/A
1. Request
On May 11, 2023, the City Council authorized staff to prepare a Zoning Ordinance
Amendment to Section 1030.010 of the Zoning Ordinance regarding administrative
approvals of expansions of nonconforming buildings or structures.
2. Planning Commission Review
The Planning Commission held a public hearing on this item at their June 1, 2023,
meeting. The Commission unanimously recommended approval (5-0) of the
amendment as drafted.
3. Background
The City updated the nonconformities section in 2021 to include the following definition
of “Expansion, Enlargement, or Intensification” (highlights added for emphasis):
Any increase in a dimension, size, area, volume, or height; any increase in the area
of use; any placement of a structure or part thereof where none existed before; any
addition of a site feature such as a deck, patio, fence, driveway, parking area, or
swimming pool; any improvement that would allow the land to be more intensely
developed; any move of operations to a new location on the property; any increase
in intensity of use based on a review of the original nature, function, or purpose of
the nonconforming use, such as the hours of operation, traffic, parking, noise,
exterior storage, signs, exterior lighting, types of operations, types of goods or
services offered, odors, area of operation, number of employees, and other factors
deemed relevant by the City.
Section 1030.010, Subd. 3(D) allows for the following administrative approval processes
for the expansion of nonconforming structures (highlights added for emphasis):
1.Administrative Approvals
The Zoning Administrator may approve the following expansions of legal
nonconforming buildings and structures after a determination that the building
Page 2 of 3
expansion will have no external negative impacts upon adjacent properties or
public rights-of-way, and subject to the provision of Corcoran City Code
Section 1070.060, Subd 3.:
a.Expansion of buildings found to be nonconforming only by reason of
height, yard setback, or lot coverage area may be permitted provided the
structural nonconformity is not increased and the expansion complies with
the performance standards of the Zoning Ordinance.
Therefore, a request to add a deck on to a home that does not comply with a setback
cannot be approved when the proposed expansion also does not comply with the
setback, even if the proposed deck is no closer to or further back from the property line
than the existing structure. When the structure does not comply with a front setback,
this can be particularly upsetting as many residents reasonably desire a front porch.
Prior to the added definition of “Expansion, Enlargement, or Intensification,” the
interpretation of the administrative approval process allowed nonconforming structures
to expand as long as they did not get any closer to the property line. For example, when
a house is setback only 35’, then it was allowable for a front porch to be added as long
as the setback was no less than 35’. However, with the newly added definition, the prior
interpretation does not seem to apply since “any placement of a structure or part thereof
where none existed before” is considered an expansion, and the expansion must
comply with the performance standards of the Zoning Ordinance.
A variance request was approved by the City Council in 2022 for a deck improvement
on a nonconforming structure that did not comply with setbacks. The proposed deck
was no closer than the existing encroachment into the setback (it was actually setback
more than the pre-existing encroachment), but the plans added a deck on portions of
the house that did not previously have a deck and could not comply with the prevailing
setback. Therefore, the request could not be administratively approved. The Planning
Commission identified increasing administrative approval capacity in this regard as a
2023 priority.
Staff are now starting to see additional requests of a similar nature. Since the Planning
Commission identified this as a 2023 priority, and the City Council appears open to
allowing this type of expansion for nonconforming homes, staff proposed amending the
language in the Zoning Ordinance rather than proceeding with additional variances.
4. Analysis:
To allow these types of requests to be approved administratively moving forward, staff
recommends amending Section 1030.010, Subd. 3(D). At the May 11th meeting, staff
prepared verbiage as an initial example of how to amend the code to address the issue
by removing the stricken materials and adding the underlined materials as follows:
Page 3 of 3
a.Expansion of buildings found to be nonconforming only by reason of
height, yard setback, or lot coverage area may be permitted provided the
structural nonconformity is not increased and the expansion complies with
the performance standards of the Zoning Ordinance.
b.Expansion of buildings found to be nonconforming only by reason of yard
setback may be permitted provided the proposed expansion is no closer to
the property line than the existing structure.
Since the May 11th meeting, staff continued to consider the language as well as
potential requests that may come from residents with nonconforming homes. Upon
further review, staff recommends providing clarity for nonconforming buildings due to
height so that an expansion with a similar roofline as the existing structure can be
administratively approved as well. The updated language proposed by staff is as
follows:
a.Expansion of buildings found to be nonconforming only by reason of
height, yard setback, or lot coverage area may be permitted provided the
structural nonconformity is not increased and the expansion complies with
the performance standards of the Zoning Ordinance, unless otherwise
provided herein.
i.The expansion of buildings found to be nonconforming only by reason
of yard setback may be permitted provided the proposed expansion is
no closer to the affected property line than the existing building.
ii.The expansion of buildings found to be nonconforming only by reason
of height may be permitted provided the proposed expansion does not
exceed the height of the existing building.
3. Recommendation
Move to adopt the following:
1.Ordinance 2023-493 Approving a Zoning Ordinance Amendment Related to The
Expansion of Nonconforming Buildings and Structures.
2.Summary Ordinance 2023-494 for publication.

Acceptance and Authorization
Summary
On June 9, 2023, the City received a letter of resignation from Police Sergeant Corey
Andress. The Council should accept this resignation.
Staff is also requesting authorization from Council to begin a hiring process and
sergeant selection process to fill the vacancy left by Sergeant Andress.
Additionally, the budget and staffing plan includes an additional Police Officer position
starting in the fourth quarter of 2023. Due to the lengthy process for hiring police
officers, staff is requesting authorization to begin the hiring process for this position as
well. They would not start until the fourth quarter.
Staff is requesting authorization to begin the hiring process for two positions. Based on
the challenging job market, staff is anticipating an open-ended job posting with regular
reviews of the applications. The staff recommended appointments from these processes
will be brought to council.
Financial/Budget
Both positions are in the 2023 budget. The time between Sgt. Andress’ departure and
the start of the new employee will result in some budgeted salary savings.
The costs associated with the hiring processes will include staff time, background
checks, psychological examinations, and physical examinations.
Council Action
Accept the resignation of Corey Andress and authorize staff to begin the hiring process
for two positions including a sergeant selection.

Action Required:
Direction
1. Application Request
Bergeron Homes & Development, Inc.,
the applicant, requests an opportunity
to appear before the City Council to
solicit informal comments on a concept
Planned Unit Development (PUD) plat
for the “Leuer” property, directly east of
7600 Maple Hill Rd, west of Cook Lake,
and northeast of the County Road 10
(Bass Lake Road) and Maple Hill Road
intersection. The subject property in
Corcoran is roughly 40 acres.
1. Background
The subject property is an undeveloped
parcel of land previously used for
agriculture. There is an adjacent
property of roughly 16.5 acres to the
east under the same ownership, but this property is located within Maple Grove. Utilities
are stubbed to the site. Historically, this site was accessed through a private easement
agreement with the Chastek property to the west. The Bass Lake Crossing
Development stubbed Fir Lane to the northeast property line of that development.
2. Context
Zoning and Land Use
Figure 1 PID 25-119-23-11-0001
Page 2 of 21
The proposed property is guided for low density residential and zoned RSF-2 (Single
Family Residential 2). A large majority of the property appears to be within the
Shoreland Overlay District. There are no structures on the site, and the land use up to
this point has been entirely agricultural. 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

process confirmed five wetlands throughout the property. This is discussed further in the
subsequent analysis section on wetlands.

3. Analysis
Planning staff coordinated review of the sketch plat 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 the Leuer
property proposes a villa
community of 75 single-family
homes with open space and a
public trail. The home sizes are
expected to range from 2,600 –
3,000 square feet with finished
basements, front porches, and
decks or patios. This proposal
is compatible with the uses
permitted in low density
residential districts.
Streets & Access
The sketch plan shows one
access to initially serve the
development on Fir Lane North in the southwest corner of the property. The plan allows
for two additional access points to the west at the time the Chastek property develops.
While a ghost plat is typically required to confirm the viability of future access points, a
Figure 4 Sketch Plat
Page 4 of 21
previously reviewed concept plan for the Chastek property confirmed these accesses
are feasible. Staff does not find a ghost plat necessary at this time.
Until the Chastek property develops, all traffic from this subdivision would be routed
through the Bass Lake Crossing development. The impacts on the Fir Lane North and
County Road 10 intersection will need to be reviewed through a feasibility study per the
Engineering Memo. There is an existing access easement with the Chastek property.
The Engineering Memo notes that construction access may need to utilize this pre-
existing easement, if possible, to avoid crossing newly constructed roadways. Either
way, the developer will be responsible to mitigate all impacts caused by construction
access to the Leuer property.
All 75 homes would be served by public streets, and there are three cul-de-sacs shown
on the sketch plan. Roadway impacts on existing utilities will be reviewed as the
application moves forward to ensure the watermain is at an appropriate depth. It is
possible portions of the watermain may need to be replaced. The Engineer Memo also
states that a temporary turnaround may be needed for the northwest road stub; this
would be reviewed at the time of the feasibility study and preliminary plat. Also, the
southwest roadway stub will need to be constructed to the west property line.
All the cul-de-sacs propose landscaped islands.
Both the Engineering Memo and the Public Safety
Memo recommend removal of these islands from
the final approved plans for ease of maintenance
and access of emergency vehicles. The
counterargument in favor of cul-de-sac islands is
that these islands allow for neighborhood
beautification by minimizing asphalt and increasing
landscaped and green areas. While maintenance
and access may be less efficient than it would
otherwise be without these islands, cul-de-sac
islands do not prevent access or maintenance when
the minimum road width is maintained. The Council
should provide feedback to the applicant on whether
these islands should remain as a landscaping
feature/public benefit or be removed from the plans
entirely. Previous PUDs approved cul-de-sac
landscape islands as a public benefit. However, more recently, landscaped cul-de-sac
islands approved as a preliminary PUD benefit were removed from the final plat for
Rush Creek Reserve 3rd Addition.
Parking
Parking standards are provided in Section 1060.060 of the Zoning Ordinance. Single-
family homes require two parking spaces per unit. The concept elevations confirm the
Figure 5 Landscape Cul-de-sac Island
Page 5 of 21
homes will comply with this standard. 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. It is possible flexibility could be requested at the time of the
preliminary PUD plan considering the requested 7.5’ setback for principal structures.
For reference, Bass Lake Crossing has a 5’ driveway setback and 5’ setback from the
side property lines. It would be helpful for the Council to discuss whether they may be
open to considering a reduced driveway setback for this project.
Trails and Parks
A proposed off-road trail is
shown through the property
towards Cook Lake on the
Parks and Trails Plan in the
2040 Comprehensive Plan. This
trail is reflected on the proposed
sketch plat with a slightly
different alignment. 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. It will be helpful for the Council to provide direction as to
whether they see it as a public benefit for the developer to pave the trail at their
expense. The trail location would be further reviewed by the Parks and Trails
Commission at the time of preliminary plat. Per the Engineering Memo, the trail will be
expected to go to the western edge of the property line along the north to allow for a
future trail connection to the Chastek property. Due to a wetland in this area (see Figure
7), this may require a boardwalk or filling the wetland.
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. Plans and profiles for all utilities as
well as valve and hydrant locations will be reviewed at the time of final plat. Impact to
the existing sanitary and water system as well as existing utility easements will be
reviewed as part of the grading plan; it is possible modifications to the existing system
will be necessary. The Engineering Memo also notes that access to existing utilities
should be incorporated into the project’s development plans.
Figure 6 2040 Parks and Trails Plan
Page 6 of 21
Stormwater Management
The concept plan shows a large stormwater pond located in the middle of the site, and a
second smaller stormwater pond located to the east of Wetland 2 (see Figure 7). The
Engineering Memo explains the majority of the site drains to the large wetland complex
to the east. However, it is believed that a portion of the site drains to a lowland area in
the northwest, goes through a drain tile, which ultimately routes drainage through this
site to the larger wetland complex. The layout of this drain tile system must be verified
by the applicant, and the storm sewer system will need to be designed to reroute this
drainage. Any potential offsite drainage improvements to mitigate the proposed
development will be the responsibility of the developer and reviewed with the feasibility
study. A stormwater management plan must be provided to confirm compliance with the
City of Corcoran and Elm Creek Watershed Management Committee regulations. The
applicant should refer to the City of Corcoran Stormwater Guidelines for Development
Review for standards (enclosed to this report for reference).
The City is in the process of establishing a stormwater area charge. The Engineering
Memo notes that this charge may be in place by the time of final plat. If this charge is on
the City’s fee schedule at the time of final plat, it will be applicable to the project.
Wetlands
A wetland delineation was finalized in
January of this year that included the
subject property as well as the
adjacent Maple Grove property to the
east under the same ownership.
There are five wetlands located on
the Corcoran site. Three of these
wetlands (Wetlands 2, 4, and 5) are
considered seasonally flooded
basins (Type 1). Wetland 3 in the
northwest corner is considered a
fresh wet meadow (Type 2). The
largest wetland (Wetland 1) is part of
the Cook Lake wetland complex to
the east and is classified as deep
march (Type 4). For reference, the
Maple Grove parcel is almost entirely
comprised of this same wetland
complex with less than an acre of
upland. However, the Maple Grove
parcel is not subject to the City of Corcoran’s wetland regulations and buffers as
outlined in Section 1050.010 of the Zoning Ordinance.
Figure 7 Wetland Delineation Exhibit
Page 7 of 21
Wetland 1 is labeled as a medium quality wetland on the City’s Natural Resources
Communities Quality Ranking Map. The remaining wetlands are not shown on this 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. Otherwise,
medium quality wetlands must have an average wetland buffer width of 25’ (the buffer
can be no less than 20’ and no wider than 40’ for the purposes of calculating this
average). There is an additional 15’ structure setback that is applied from the edge of
the wetland buffer. Roads and trails and related retaining walls or fences have a 5’
setback from the wetland buffer.
Based on the concept plan, it appears the applicant plans to impact Wetland 5. Wetland
3 may also be impacted to achieve the public trail in the northwest area as shown on
the City’s Comprehensive Plan. Impacts to wetlands must be reviewed and approved
through the appropriate WCA permitting process. If for some reason approval is not
granted, the site design would need to be modified accordingly to avoid the wetlands
and account for the required wetland buffers. Wetland buffers will need to be shown
along with the required wetland buffer monuments at the time of preliminary plat. As
part of a wetland buffer establishment plan, the applicant must confirm whether they
plan to use existing buffers as allowed and defined by City Code or if they plan to
establish new buffers. The wetland buffer establishment plan will be reviewed and
approved by the City’s wetland specialist.
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.
Figure 8 Natural Resources Communities Quality Ranking Map
Page 8 of 21
Density
The concept plan does not provide a density estimate. Based on a rough calculation,
the concept plan appears to have an estimated pre-development net density of 2.34
acres. This number is likely to increase with the post-development density when
features such as wetland buffers and the area of the public trail are removed from the
calculation. It is possible the proposed sketch plan could come in at or just below 3 units
an acre. The City Council may want to discuss whether the shoreland constraint and
preservation of natural resources on the site justifies a density that is not quite 3 units
an acre. Alternatively, the City Council may want to provide direction to the applicant if
they prefer that lot sizes be reduced on the site to reach the minimum 3 units an acre
required in low density residential districts.
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.
- Rear 30 ft.
Maximum Principal Building Height 35 ft.
* Minimum separation between structures on adjacent parcels shall be 15 ft.
However, residential PUDs are also 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 75 lots with lot widths ranging from 55’ – 98’. The sketch
plan notes the following standards to be considered under a Planned Unit Development
(PUD) district (areas where flexibility is desired are in red text):
Dimension Proposed PUD Standard
Minimum Lot Area 6,690 sq. ft.
Minimum Lot Width 55’
Page 9 of 21
Minimum Principal Structure Setbacks
- Front Setback 25’*
- Front Porch (less than 120 sq. ft.) 15’
- Minimum Side Setback 7.5’
- Minimum Rear Setback 25’
Maximum Principal Building Height 35 ft.
* - Exceeds RSF-2 and RSF-3 standards.
The Council is asked to provide feedback on the proposed PUD lot standards.
Shoreland Overlay District
The City’s standards for the Shoreland Overlay are provided in Section 1050.020 of the
Zoning Ordinance. The Shoreland Overlay extends 1,000 feet from the ordinary high-
water level (OHWL) of Cook Lake. The sketch plan assumes an OHWL of 942.1, but
staff believes it is likely the OHWL needs to be measured from the edge of the wetland
with an OHWL of 942.37. The OHWL will need to be confirmed with the DNR as the
project moves forward. An exhibit from the applicant indicates there may be a western
portion of the property that falls outside of the shoreland overlay.
Figure 9 Shoreland Tiering Exhibit
Cook Lake is a Natural Environment Lake, so there are additional lot standards applied
which are outlined in the table below. Areas where flexibility is requested are provided in
red. Deviations from the Shoreland Overlay standards require a PUD.
Shoreland Overlay Proposed PUD Standards for lots

Minimum Lot Width 125’ 55’
Setback from OHWL 150’ 150’
Impervious Surface
Limit
25% 50%
Maximum Height 25’ 25’
The City’s shoreland ordinance was reviewed and approved by the DNR prior to
adoption. Since the City adopted the shoreland ordnance, the DNR has developed a
new shoreland ordnance model that they encourage cities to adopt. This sketch plan
was sent to the DNR for comment as a courtesy because we know the shoreland will
drive the final design. The new model uses a “tiering” approach rather than maximum
impervious surface coverage to manage density in the Shoreland Overlay district. It is
staff’s belief that we must review the development against our adopted ordinance;
however, we are also evaluating it against the tiering ordinance.
If the Council supports the proposed concept, staff will set up a meeting with the DNR to
reach an understanding on the development standards for the proposal. It would be
helpful for the Council to discuss their willingness to consider the proposed deviations to
the City’s Shoreland Overlay standards. Previous PUDs that allowed flexibility from the
Shoreland Overlay District standards include Rush Creek Reserve and Cook Lake
Highlands.
Buffer Ordinance
For the sake of the buffer yard ordinance, the proposed PUD would be considered an
“RSF-3” zoning district. This means, a buffer yard would be required on the west
property line with the Chastek property zoned as RSF-2. A buffer yard class “A” would
apply. The planted buffer yard options are provided in the table below. This buffer yard
must be included on the landscaping plan, but it will not count towards the other
minimum landscaping requirements.
Buffer Yard

This development would not be expected to buffer from the manufactured home park or
golf course to the north or Cook Lake Highlands to the south. Along the south property
line shared with Bass Lake Crossing (which would also be considered RSF-3 for the
Page 11 of 21
sake of this Ordinance), a 30’ rear and side yard setback must be maintained. The
plans appear to comply with this standard.
PUD Design Standards
This concept plan is the first to be reviewed against the City’s newly adopted PUD
ordinance. The PUD analysis will be broken into two sections: PUD Design Standards
and PUD Public Benefits. The following is an analysis of the sketch plan in achieving
the minimum design standards required for all PUDs.
A. Appropriate Integration
PUDs must appropriately integrate into existing and future development. This can be
accomplished through the use of similar lot sizes, density, setbacks, and design as well
as the continuation of existing land uses, providing architectural transitions, landscape
buffering, or other means. To the south, existing development includes Cook Lake
Highlands and Bass Lake Crossing. These developments include detached single-
family homes with similar lot standards as detailed in the tables below.
Bass Lake Crossing PUD Standards
Minimum Lot Area 5,000 square feet
Minimum Lot Width 50’
Minimum Principal Structure Setback 20’
Side Setback 5’
Rear Setback 25’
Cook Lake Highlands PUD Standards
Minimum Lot Area 6,750 square feet
Minimum Lot Width 50’
Minimum Principal Structure Setback 25’
Side Setback 5’
Rear Setback 30’
The smallest lots are located along the north property line which provides a transition to
Maple Hill Estates. Backyards will abut the golf course and a public trail will provide an
additional buffer from the rear yards to the golf course. The northeast area would not
have the trail, but the sketch plan shows larger lots to provide a transition to the golf
course. Additional landscaping could be added in this area to provide a vegetated buffer
as well. The property to the west is also for sale for low-density residential development,
and market trends (as well as a previously reviewed sketch plan) suggest it is likely that
similar lot sizes will be proposed.
b. Variety and enhanced design.
Page 12 of 21
A low-density residential PUD must include at least 5 different styles of detached homes
and should meet the City’s established architectural standards. Elevations were
provided by the applicant and are enclosed to this report. 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 has not requested
flexibility from the underlying residential architectural standards and will be expected to
comply with these standards unless specific flexibility is requested and granted. The
applicant’s narrative provides that the villas will be similar to the “Timbers Edge”
development the applicant is currently building in Plymouth. They plan to use James
Hardie or LP Smart Siding on all elevations with a stone accent on the front. This
complies with the permissible materials. However, 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.
Figure 10 Villa Front Elevation Example
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. This appears to be satisfied with the
submitted elevations. Additionally, the narrative notes that many homes will include a
front porch.
Page 13 of 21
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 faces a street shall receive equal architectural treatment as the front
elevation in terms of materials and articulation. This will likely be necessary for lots 1,
14-15, 34, 52, 61, and 75. The trail easement opens a wide viewshed that makes Lot
29-30 visible from a public street, because it is a PUD, staff believes an upgrade on
these elevations can be negotiated. 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.
c. Open Space
As currently proposed, a minimum of 12% of the pre-
developable area must be set aside as open space.
This is estimated to equate to 3.85 acres. Based on
the sketch plan, the project includes 9.56 acres of
open space that is upland (as indicated in blue on
Figure 11). Some of this area includes the proposed
public trail that is contemplated in the 2040
Comprehensive Plan which means this area cannot
count towards Corcoran’s open space requirement.
However, the open space will still exceed the 12%
minimum.
The applicant will be required to submit an open
space plan with the preliminary PUD development
plan. The open space plan must illustrate the use and/or function of the open space
areas and include any proposed improvements and/or design features of the open
space areas.
d. Perimeter Buffer
Since this property is not surrounded by arterial or major collector roads, this PUD
design standard does not apply.
e. Public Accessibility
Figure 11 Open Space Exhibit
Page 14 of 21
When a PUD includes natural features such as a lake, public access must be provided
to those features. The proposed sketch plan includes a public trail that runs along the
Cook Lake wetland complex and connects to the dedicated trails from Bass Lake
Crossing and Cook Lake Highlands.
f. Discretionary Standards.
The City Council has the authority to impose other standards for the proposed PUD as
are reasonable and necessary to protect and promote the general health, safety, and
welfare of the community and surrounding areas. If additional standards are desired, it
would be helpful for members of the Council to provide this feedback to the applicant
now for the applicant to make an informed decision.
g. Prohibited Features and Modifications
The sketch plan does not propose prohibited features or modifications to residential
district standards. The proposal requests a 7.5’ side setback which results in the
minimum 15’ separation required between two detached dwellings. The proposal does
not include interior perimeter roads that are parallel to arterial roadways. The applicant
is not requesting flexibility from minimum screening and/or buffering standards.
PUD Benefits
PUDs should seek to satisfy several of the identified public benefits in Corcoran’s PUD
Public Benefit Policy which is enclosed to this report for reference. The size and
constraints of the site and flexibility requested will be considered to determine whether
an appropriate amount of public benefits is proposed to justify granting the PUD. The
City identified 27 public benefits within the policy, but potential public benefits not
captured by the policy can be discussed as part of the concept plan. An initial analysis
of each identified public benefit is provided below:
1. Placement of uses so as to integrate with adjacent uses.
The proposed plan includes an open space area that provides continuation from the
open space/natural area of Cook Lake Highlands to the south.
2. Collaboration with adjoining landowner(s).
The applicant will be required to host a neighborhood meeting. All landowners within
350’ of the Leuer property will be notified of the neighborhood meeting. The applicant is
encouraged to work with the surrounding landowners by being available for ongoing
discussions from the neighborhood and incorporating meaningful feedback where
feasible. If City staff does not attend the neighborhood meeting, it will be important for
the applicant to provide a meeting summary detailing the discussion with the
neighborhood, including any compromises reached. This document will inform whether
this category is satisfied as the preliminary plat moves forward.
3. Appropriately located neighborhood scale commercial/office uses.
Page 15 of 21
Not applicable.
4. Percentage of units within ¼ mile of an identifiable neighborhood focal point.
The proposed open space that wraps around Cook Lake is significant and is arguably a
focal point. In order to satisfy this standard, at least 20% of the units must be within ¼
mile of this space. It appears that all units are within ¼ mile of the open space areas.
The applicant would need to provide a radius exhibit with the preliminary plat to confirm.
If Council does not agree that the open space surrounding Cook Lake is a focal point by
itself, the applicant could consider incorporating features such as picnic shelters and/or
community gardens to provide additional public benefit.
5. Distribution of attached units.
Not applicable.
6. Creation of open space using multi-story buildings.
Not applicable.
7. Visual termini.
The purpose of this PUD public benefit is to encourage the placement of monuments,
statutes, gazebos, or other landmarks at the end of streets. The applicant’s narrative
confirms an entrance monument will be included and maintained by a Homeowner’s
Association. The applicant should provide details of the monument sign and location in
order to confirm it will qualify as a unique landmark for the area while complying with
Chapter 84 of the City Code. Residential developments are allowed 2 freestanding
signs with a sign copy area of up to 32 sq. ft. and a height of 6’.
While the definition used in the PUD Public Benefit Policy used structural examples to
explain visual termini, there may be some argument that the natural lookout created by
the cul-de-sac in the northeast corner also serves as a visual termini rather than this
space being used for more houses. It would be helpful for the Council to provide
feedback on whether they agree with this interpretation of visual termini. Otherwise, the
applicant could also consider adding a gazebo in this area, but it would need to be
confirmed with the DNR that a gazebo can qualify as an outdoor recreational facility.
8. Attached units are embedded.
Not applicable.
9. Exceptional landscaping to buffer homes from major roads.
Not applicable.
10. Percentage of units within 1,000 feet walk from a park.
There is a public open space park to the south that was dedicated as part of Cook Lake
Highlands. In order for this to be considered a public benefit, at least 20% of the units
Page 16 of 21
(15 units) must be within 1,000 feet from this park as measured from roadways, trails, or
sidewalks. If the applicant decided to include this as a public benefit in their proposal, a
radius exhibit must be provided with the preliminary plat. It appears it could be possible
for the southern 15 lots to be located within 1,000 feet of this park area, particularly if a
private trail connection is made through the cul-de-sac.
11. Internal Trail Connections
The proposal does not appear to include this as a benefit. The required sidewalks on
once side of the road are present on the sketch plan, and there is one connection to the
larger trail system in the northwest area of the site. Additional internal, private trails
would need to be provided to include this as a public benefit.
12. Cul-de-sacs are open ended.
The proposed cul-de-sacs are not open ended. Considering the limited space of the
site, it may be difficult to re-design the lots to make 2 of the 3 cul-de-sacs open ended.
However, it does seem possible. Further, if this was done, it would open up space to
add internal trail connections.
13. Open space is consolidated and usable.
The PUD Public Benefit Policy outlines 6 guiding principles to review the design of open
space. It is not expected for open space to achieve all of the guidelines, but an effort to
incorporate many of the guidelines is expected. The open space primarily follows Cook
Lake and is consolidated on the east side of the site. Many of the homes are organized
around the open space, and it is used as a framing or organizing feature. The open
space will be easily accessible to residents of the subdivision. The public trail will go
through the open space, making the area accessible and usable to the larger public. It is
possible portions of the open space will be confused for someone else’s yard. However,
the trail will help delineate the common space. Additionally, a different level of
landscaping or type of vegetation could help to delineate the open space. The
stormwater pond is within the open space, but more design details would need to be
provided if it is intended to double as an aesthetic-design feature. Staff believes the
plans so far show that the proposed open space is a public benefit.
14. Open space is connected with green natural corridors.
There is a smaller area of open space along the northern property line. A green corridor
with the public trail would connect this area to the larger open space area around Cook
Lake.
15. Viable open space master plan is created.
Since this is a low-density residential PUD, an open space plan is a basic requirement.
Therefore, this public benefit is not applicable to the proposed sketch plan.
16. Natural resources and features are retained.
Page 17 of 21
The 2040 Comprehensive Plan indicates a high-quality maple/basswood community on
the property. The sketch plan proposes to retain this small but quality community in its
entirety.
17. Extensive internal landscaping.
A landscaping plan was not provided with the sketch plan. The underlying landscaping
standard requires 1 overstory tree per dwelling unit for a minimum of 75 trees to be
planted within the development (one tree planted on each residential lot). In order for
the applicant to satisfy this standard, they would need to plant at least 15 more trees as
part of the landscaping plan. This could be accommodated, at least in part, on the
proposed landscaping islands within the three cul-de-sacs if the direction from Council
is for these islands to remain. Additionally, landscaping could be added in the northeast
corner to provide more of a buffer between the golf course and proposed homes.
18. Use of native plants in landscaping.
A landscaping plan was not provided with the sketch plan. The applicant would need to
incorporate appropriate use of native plantings in order to include this as a public benefit
for their proposal.
19. Use of preferred trees in landscaping.
A landscaping plan was not provided with the sketch plan. In order to propose this as a
public benefit, the landscaping plan would need to be primarily comprised of preferred
trees as outlined in the City’s Northeast District Plan and Design Guidelines. However,
considering the project’s proximity to the Town Center area, the Council could direct the
applicant to base their landscaping plan on the “Suggested Trees for Town Center”
provided in the Southeast District and Design Guidelines. It would be helpful for the
Council to provide whether they have a preference between one or the other, or if trees
identified on either list would satisfy this public benefit.
20. Existing rural structures are retained and/or reused.
Not applicable as there are no pre-existing structures on the property.
21. Higher architectural standards.
While the submitted elevations appear that they will be able to comply with the City’s
architectural standards, it does not appear that the elevations propose “higher
architectural standards” as a public benefit for the project. Theoretically, the applicant
could satisfy this public benefit by proposing architectural standards that exceed the
City Code requirements, utilizing recommended rural architectural styles as identified in
the Southeast District Plan (Agrarian Contemporary, Farmhouse, Arts & Crafts –
Prairie), and/or committing to the use of regional building materials. However, staff
believes it unrealistic for the applicant to decide to significantly depart from their
Page 18 of 21
established award-winning designs with their proven popularity in the larger housing
market.
However, staff believes upgraded treatment of the side elevations for Lots 29 and Lot
30 could also be a negotiated public benefit, as previously discussed in this report,
which could fall under this category.
22. Lot size variety.
This public benefit may be achieved when at least 10% of the proposed lots exceed a
lot width of 65’ or exceed a lot area of 7,5000 square feet. As currently proposed, the
sketch plan includes a large degree of lot size variety. Lot widths range between 55’ to
98’ and lot area ranges from 6,690 square feet to 12,911 square feet. Forty-four percent
of the lots have widths greater than 65’, and 68% of the lots exceed a lot area of 7,500
square feet.
23. Larger tree sizes.
A landscaping plan with proposed tree sizes at the time of planting was not included. If
the applicant were to propose this as a public benefit, they would need to commit to
planting at least 25% of the required overstory trees at the following sizes:
Potted/Bare Root or Balled and Burlapped
Shade Trees 4” diameter
Evergreen Trees 10’
24. Natural restoration work.
The sketch plan does not appear to propose natural restoration work as a part of the
PUD. If the applicant were to propose this as a public benefit, at least 5 acres of natural
restoration would need to be converted to wooded areas, prairies, and wetlands.
Removal of buckthorn can also qualify under this public benefit option.
25. Extraordinary environmental protection.
The sketch plan does not appear to propose extraordinary environmental protection.
26. Area of parkland, woodland, or other open space (above minimum).
This public benefit is meant to encourage additional conservation of natural spaces
above what is otherwise required of the applicant. The Council should discuss whether
they consider the additional open space (that may be required by the DNR) to also be a
public benefit for the City’s review of the PUD application. Wetlands and areas of steep
slopes would not be considered.
27. Innovation and utilization of new technologies and materials.
Page 19 of 21
The sketch plan does not appear to include creative and efficient methods of design
and/or incorporate new technologies or materials.
28. Potential PUD benefits not otherwise captured.
a. The applicant proposes a 5’ increase to the front setback requirement.
b. Developers are required to provide the base for trails. Historically, it has been
seen as a public benefit for developers to agree to pave trails at their cost.
While this is not specifically proposed as a part of the sketch plan, this could
be an additional benefit for the Council to consider for negotiation with the
developer.
c. There is a portion of the trail that this development will connect to that is
currently proposed as a gravel lookout at Cook Lake Highlands. While the
applicant has not suggested this as a public benefit, it may be beneficial to
see if the developer is willing to also pave the off-site portion of the trail within
Cook Lake Highlands to align with the paved portion of the trail from Bass
Lake Crossing.
Summary of Flexibilities and Public Benefits for Discussion
In summary, the sketch plan specifically requests the following flexibilities:
Standard Proposed

Impervious
Surface Limit
50% N/A N/A 25%
Further, it is possible the applicant may request the following flexibilities:
- Approval of a subdivision with post-development density between 2.5-2.99
units/acre.
- A reduced driveway setback.
In exchange, the following PUD public benefits appear to be accomplished with the
current proposal:
- Placement of uses so as to integrate with adjacent uses.
- Visual termini.
Page 20 of 21
- Open space is consolidated and usable.
- Open space is connected with green natural corridors.
- Natural resources and features are retained.
- Lot size variety.
The following PUD benefits could potentially be accomplished:
- Collaboration with adjoining landowners.
- Percentage of units within ¼ mile of an identifiable neighborhood focal point.
- Percentage of units within 1,000 feet walk from a park.
- Internal trail connections.
- Cul-de-sacs are open-ended.
- Extensive internal landscaping.
o The sketch plan appears to propose landscape islands within cul-de-sacs
that could help to achieve this standard. Council is asked to provide
direction on whether these islands should remain or be removed.
o Does the Council want to see more landscaping in the northeast corner to
provide more of a buffer/transition from the proposed homes to the golf
course?
- Use of native plants in landscaping.
- Use of preferred trees in landscaping.
o Does the Council have a preference if the applicant incorporates trees
from the NE District Plan vs. the Town Center suggested trees from the
SE District Plan?
- Higher architectural standards.
o Specifically, upgraded architectural treatment of side elevations for Lots
29 and 30 where the trail creates a view corridor making these particular
side elevations more visible from the street than others.
- Larger tree sizes (at time of planting).
- Area of parkland, woodland, or other open space (above minimum).
o Does the Council consider the additional open space proposed, which
may ultimately be required by the DNR, a public benefit for the City’s
review of the PUD?
- Potential PUD benefits not captured by the policy:
o 5’ increase to the minimum front setback (applicant proposed).
o Paved trail at developer’s expense (staff identified).
o Pave portion of off-site trail currently planned to be gravel (staff identified).
The following PUD benefits appear unlikely to be accomplished:
- Natural restoration work.
- Extraordinary environmental protection.
- Innovation and utilization of new technologies and materials.
The following PUD benefits are not applicable to this proposal:
Page 21 of 21
- Appropriately located neighborhood scale commercial/office uses.
- Distribution of attached units.
- Creation of open space using multi-story buildings.
- Attached units are embedded.
- Exceptional landscaping to buffer homes from major roads.
- Viable open space master plan is created.
- Existing rural structures are retained and/or reused.
It is not expected that a PUD satisfy all potential public benefits. The size and
constraints of the site should be considered in determining whether the proposed public
benefits justify the requested flexibility. It will be helpful for the Council to provide
feedback to the applicant and staff on the concept’s requested flexibility and proposed
public benefits. Additionally, feedback on the potential PUD benefits the Council
considers most important for this project to incorporate will be helpful in guiding
subsequent discussions and negotiations with the developer.
Next Steps
Assuming this project moves forward, the next steps are outlined below:
1. Feasibility study.
2. Neighborhood meeting.
3. A land use application for a Rezoning, Preliminary PUD Plan, and Preliminary
Plat. This will be reviewed by the City and DNR.
4. WCA permitting for wetland impacts.
5. A land use application for a Final PUD and Final Plat.
6. Watershed approval of City-approved final grading and stormwater plans.
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.

Narrative:
Bergeron Homes & Development, Inc would like to create a villa community with 75 detached
single family villa style homes on a combined 57.1 (40.56 & 16.54) acres of land located along
Cook Lake NE, also bordering Rush Creek Golf Course, and the Bass Lake Crossing villa
development . The entrance for this development is off the end of Fir Ln in the Bass Lake
Crossings neighborhood. There will be walking trails and sidewalks surrounding the
development.
The proposed development would consist of higher end detached villa style homes ranging in
price from $600’s on up. We will have different floor plans and numerous different front
elevations to choose from. Floor plans will be a minimum of 1650 square feet on the main
level, with the lower levels completed, so the finished square footage will be 2600-3000 .
These villa style homes will be similar to the ones we are currently building in our “Timbers
Edge” Development in Plymouth. The front elevation materials will be James Hardie or LP
Smart Siding with a stone accent, and James Hardie or LP Smart Siding on the sides and rear as
well. Most homes will have concrete front porches and will also have either a deck or a
concrete patio. This neighborhood would consist of a master HOA to be in charge of an
entrance monument, landscape, and mailboxes.

Memo
To: Kevin Mattson, PE City of Corcoran From: Kent Torve, PE City Engineer
Steve Hegland, PE
Project: Leuer Parcel - Concept Review Date: June 13th, 2023
Exhibits:
This Memorandum is based on a review of the following document:
1. Concept Plan – Leuer Parcel, May 15th, 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. The parcel appears to be entirely agriculture land. If any structures need to be removed, 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.
3. The development is showing two access connections for connection with a western development.
The appropriate ROW should be dedicated with this development should be provided to ensure those
connections can be made in the future.
4. Additional documentation on the access easement to this parcel from the adjacent parcel to the west
should be provided. Access easements on adjacent parcel may need to be vacated with this
development.
5. Existing city easements exist along the eastern and northern extents of the proposed project. The site
features, landscaping and buffering should be reviewed to ensure it doesn’t create significant conflicts
with the purpose of this easement.
Erosion Control/SWPPP
1. Preparation of and compliance with a SWPPP shall be required for construction.
June 13th, 2023
Leuer Parcel – Concept Review
Kevin Mattson
Page 2 of 3
Transportation
1. All roadways shall match City standard details.
2. The proposed development will route traffic south along existing Fir Lane through the Bass Lake
Crossings development. The impacts on the intersection of Fir Lane and County Road 10 should be
reviewed at the time of the feasibility study.
3. It is understood that an access easement exists to this property along the southern boundary of the
adjacent parcel to the west. Access to the development during construction may need to be provided
by the access easement and not across the adjacent newly constructed roadways. Developer shall
be responsible for mitigating all impacts caused by construction access to this property.
4. Cul-de-sac turnarounds show landscaped islands. We would recommend these be removed for
maintenance considerations unless otherwise required by the City Council.
5. Roadway impacts on existing utilities should be reviewed by the applicant at time of preliminary plat
to ensure watermain is at appropriate depth. This may require the replacement of some of the
watermain if necessary.
6. A temporary turnaround may need to be provided for the Norwest stub. This will be further reviewed
at the time of the feasibility study/preliminary plat.
7. The southwest roadway stub would need to be constructed to the property line.
8. Trail stub to the northwest corner will likely need to be constructed to the property line and not
stopped short.
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.
Grading /Stormwater
1. Stormwater from the site generally drains to the east to the large wetland complex. It is believed a
portion of the site drains to a lowland area to the northwest and then through a draintile through this
site to the large wetland complex. The layout of this draintile system should be verified by the
applicant and the storm sewer system designed to reroute this drainage
o Any offsite drainage improvements necessary to mitigate the proposed development is the
developer responsibility. This will be reviewed with the feasibility study.
o The BMPs are shown approximately 20 feet above the adjacent OHW of 942.37. A significant
system will be required to dissipate energy prior to discharge to Cook Lake.
o The BMPs are centrally located and an EOF pathway will be required to ensure protection for
the homes during extreme events.
2. 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.
3. Reference the City of Corcoran Stormwater Guidelines for Development Review for standards for
stormwater systems and modeling.
4. Label clearly on plans EOF’s for all areas where water will be collected including all low areas in
roadways and greenspaces.

5. 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.
6. If wetlands are impacted, they shall be reviewed and approved through the appropriate WCA
permitting process.
7. 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.
8. A mapped floodplain exists on the property. At time of grading plan, the elevation shall be reviewed to
ensure all work is done in compliance with applicable regulations.
9. Stormwater area charge may be in place by final plat.
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.
5. Review any pipe conflicts with the storm sewer discharge structures mentioned in previous section.
6. At time of grading plan, impact to existing sanitary and water system shall be reviewed to determine if
any modifications to the existing system are necessary.
7. At time of grading plan, all easements to existing utilities shall be reviewed to ensure they are
sufficient for proposed grading.
8. Access to existing utilities should be incorporated into the development plans.

Dwight Klingbeil
Planning Technician
City of Corcoran
8200 County Road 116
Corcoran, MN 55304
Mr. Klingbeil,
Thank you for the opportunity to review the Leuer Planned Unit Development (PUD) and sketch plat, dated May
15, 2023. The purpose of this letter is to provide comments to the City of Corcoran and the land developer of
shoreland concerns presented by the proposed PUD and sketch plat.
The development proposes 75 single family homes on a combined 57.1 acres of land located alone Cook Lake,
DNR Public Water #27-120P. Cook Lake is classified by DNR as a Natural Environment lake. The city’s shoreland
code provides that residential subdivisions with dwelling unit densities exceeding those in the lot area and width
standards can only be allowed if designed and approved as residential planned unit developments (Chapter
1050.020 Subd. 5.B.1.). As such, PUDs in the shoreland should be designed and evaluated for compliance with
the shoreland PUD standards in Minnesota Rule 6120.3800.
A shoreland PUD tiering analysis of the sketch plat was performed and submitted by the developer. However,
the sketch plat appears to designate land below the ordinary high water level (OHWL) to satisfy the required
open space. This area does not qualify for open space preservation. Therefore, the tiering analysis is not valid.
In addition to designing the project to meet the shoreland PUD standards, the project should also address the
following items regarding open space and setbacks:
x Open Space.
o Open space must constitute at least 50 percent of the total project area.
o The open space must include at least 70 percent of the shore impact zone.
o Open space shall not include:
Land below the OHWL of public waters; Dwelling sites or lots, unless owned in common
by an owners association;
Dwelling units or structures, except water-oriented accessory structures or facilities; and
Road rights-of-way or land covered by road surfaces and parking areas.
x Setbacks.
o Show the shore impact zone. The shore impact zone means land located between the OHWL
and a setback of 50 percent of the structure setback.
o Show the Natural Environment setback (150 feet) and ensure no structures are within the
setback.
In summary, the proposed sketch plan must be redrawn in a manner consistent with shoreland PUD standards.
Once that is accomplished the tiering analysis can be revised. Finally, open space must be preserved through the
use of restrictive covenants, public dedication, granting of scenic easements, or other methods.
We look forward to continued dialogue as the development concept is refined. Please do not hesitate to contact
me directly at (651) 259-5822, or wes.saunders-pearce@state.mn.us if you would like to discuss this matter
further.

Stormwater Guidelines for Development
March 2019
Issue
Cities changing from rural to urban development are challenged by the additional stormwater generated due
to construction of impervious surfaces, along with the offsite infrastructure, or lack thereof, to manage
effectively. To standardize the modeling and review process, the guidelines below were created for efficiency.
Note: A watershed approval is required per Elm Creek WMO rules, which also reviews flow rates, water
quality and volume management.
Modeling
Watershed Information
· Provide an aerial photo of the development that includes the overall watershed and subwatershed
boundaries
· Provide a summary of the acreage to each discharge point leaving the site. Any increase (or
decrease) shall be identified.
· Show any floodplain adjacent to project or within the project
· Show downstream water bodies and flow paths
o Downstream flow paths and water bodies typically need to have elevations, inverts, and
condition identified.
Subwatersheds
A HydroCAD model (typically used) has inputs that can vary by user. To minimize resubmittals, review time
and effort, the following data shall be utilized.
· Electronic model shall be submitted
· Hydrologic Soil Group (HSG) shall be lowered one category due to the mass grading and compaction
of the soils. For example, an existing B soil, shall be modeled as a proposed C soil (unless it remains
undisturbed)
· Wetlands, filtration basins, and ponds shall be modeled at CN of 98
· Identify peak rates for storm events and proposed shall be equal or less than existing rates.
o Note: There are certain conditions where at City’s discretion the off-site conditions require a
reduction in flow rate from existing rates.
· SWMM (i.e. EPA-, XP-, or PC-) models can be submitted for review, however these increase review
time.
Model Setup for Outlet Control Structures, NWLs and Infiltration
· The model’s flow control structures (OCS, culverts, etc.) shall match the construction plan
information. During the plan and model review both may be modified and revised
· Individual detail plates are required for each OCS, and individual plates shall have inverts identified
· A pond or wetland NWL (and model starting elevation) shall be set at the constructed outlet control
elevation.
o No live storage shall be utilized below the controlling OCS elevation.
o No live storage shall be used for filtration shelves on ponds below controlling OCS elevation
· If a pond or wetland has an NWL (wet surface), infiltration shall not be used in flood routing.
· If a pond has filtration BMP causing drawdown below the NWL, this drawdown elevation shall not be
used as the NWL for flood routing. (Filtration has a slower release time and during wet periods is not
available as live storage).
Construction Plans
Catch Basins
· Street drainage shall be sufficient to manage the 10-year event
· Typical a CB inlet capacity is 2 to 2.5 CFS, and CBs shall be spaced accordingly
· Three inches (0.25 feet) of head on a CB will inundate a street centerline (2% slope).
· Spacing is 200 to 250 feet using longitudinal street dimensions of 40 feet from road centerline to half
the house footprint (assumes rear half of house drains to rear yard). Dimensions equal 10,000 SF.
· CBs may be required on both sides of ped ramps to capture flows
Natural Drainage Features
· Waterbodies receiving urban drainage (wetlands, ditches, gullies) may need to have OCS installed,
erosion protection, or reduced flow rates to allow the feature to function over the long term due to
more consistent flows from increased impervious via development
· Offsite work may be necessary and City will assist with coordination, easements, etc.
HWLs and EOFs
· The freeboard requirements are:
o Low Opening is a minimum of two feet above the HWL
o Low Opening is a minimum of two feet above the EOF
· EOFs shall be accurately shown and as builts are required. The highest point shall be the EOF (for
example top of curb) since this is the controlling elevation
o In certain instances, channel calculations of the swale may be required to show the EOF has
capacity to manage estimated flow
· Overland EOFs are preferred, however if a second pipe serves as an EOF then modeling will include
a 100-year event using the second pipe (EOF) as the only outlet (primary outlet plugged).
Rear Yards
· Rear yards or swales less than 2% shall have draintile. Typically, every two to three lots will require
rear yard CBs.
Sump Connections
· Houses adjoining a wetland or pond do not need individual sump connection
· Others will have access to rear yard stormsewer.
Offsite Impacts
Adjacent Parcels
· City will review adjacent parcels (downstream and upstream) for impacts from volume, point
discharge, etc. and may require off site improvements. City will assist in coordination of any off site
work.
· Off site water quality improvement projects may be determined by the City for assistance with
compliance with City’s TMDL approach of implementing improvements upon development.
· FEMA modifications may be necessary due to development and implemented by City.

Corcoran PUD Public Benefits Policy
1. Placement of uses so as to integrate with adjacent uses.
Purpose: To reward developments that make connections to adjacent properties and uses.
Criteria: This public benefit can be accomplished if there is an opportunity to connect adjacent
uses and such connections are made. Examples include the following:
- 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.)
o It is seen even more of a public benefit when there are no restrictions for
public access to these areas.
o Public parks are not eligible as a public benefit under this category.
- A conscious effort to link the neighborhood to public or semi-public uses (schools,
religious institutions, etc.).
- Adjacent development has 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: This public benefit may be accomplished when a developer demonstrates collaboration
with property owners and residents within the surrounding neighborhood.
Applicants must host a neighborhood meeting early in the process as a required
component of the PUD process. It may be seen as a public benefit when applicants
demonstrate that they incorporated meaningful 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 accomplish other identified public benefits.
3. Appropriately located neighborhood scale commercial/office uses.
Page 2 of 9
Purpose: To reward developments
that provide small scale
commercial/office uses.
Criteria: This benefit will be
considered on a very
limited basis and may be
accomplished when small
scale commercial/office
uses are appropriately
located within or adjacent
to a residential or mixed-
use neighborhood. 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).
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: This public benefit may be
satisfied if approximately
20% of units within a
development are within ¼
mile of an identifiable
neighborhood focal point.
Examples of neighborhood focal points
include the following: parks, greens,
squares, monuments, historic structures (silos, barns, granaries, etc.), picnic shelters, and
community gardens. Monument entrance signs into a development are not considered an
identifiable neighborhood focal point, but may be considered as a visual terminus discussed
subsequently in this document.
5. Distribution of attached units.
Page 3 of 9
Purpose: Encourage smaller clusters of attached units to be more integrated/intermixed within
the larger development.
Criteria: This benefit can be satisfied if no more than 1/3 of attached units within the
development are located in the largest cluster of attached homes.
In other words, a PUD must have at least 3 separately located groups of attached units
dispersed throughout the development with no more than 1/3 of the total attached
units located within a single group.
Example: If there are 100 attached units in a project, there must be at least three separate
clusters of attached homes with the largest group of homes not exceeding 33 units.
6. Creation of open space using multi-story buildings.
Purpose: Promote the creation of open space using multi-story buildings.
Criteria: This benefit may be met if it is demonstrated that the applicant purposefully used multi-
story buildings for the purpose of creating open space.
This is not a benefit possible in 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.
Page 4 of 9
Criteria: This public benefit may be satisfied with the incorporation of a visual termini. An
entrance monument providing neighborhood identity may qualify to satisfy this public
benefit. Other termini examples (such as statutes and gazebos) that are less common
may be considered more of a public benefit than an entrance monument sign for the
development.
8. Attached units are embedded.
Purpose: Reduce the amount of attached units visible from major roadways.
Criteria: This public benefit may be satisfied if attached units abut no more than 30% of the
perimeter of a major roadway (in linear feet).
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.
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 expected to satisfy
this identified public benefit.
Example: A development has 1,000 linear feet of major roadway and 200 feet of the major
roadway has attached units adjacent to it.
9. Exceptional Landscaping to Buffer Homes From Major Roads.
Purpose: Buffer homes from major roadways.
Criteria: This public benefit may be satisfied if a heavily landscaped buffer is provided along
major roadways. Any newly planted vegetation must be salt tolerant. The landscaping
should be comprised of a variety of overstory and understory trees, evergreens, and/or
shrubs in general conformance with the parameters outlined for Buffer Yard Class B in
Section 1060.070, Subd. 2(J)(1)(f). An open decorative fence may also be incorporated
into the buffer. Retention of existing woods or healthy, mature landscaping where
Page 5 of 9
possible is preferred and may qualify towards the buffer even when the exact
parameters of Buffer Yard Class B are not satisfied.
10. Percentage of units within 1,000 feet walk from a park.
Purpose: Promote location of parks within a short walk from people’s homes.
Criteria: This public benefit may be satisfied if at least 20% of the homes within a development
are within a 1,000-foot walk from a private or public park.
This will be measured along roadways and/or trails.
11. Internal Trail Connections
Purpose: Encourage the creation of off-road trails within a neighborhood.
Criteria: This benefit may be met by the creation of internal trails to provide pedestrian and/or
bicycle movement within a development.
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: To satisfy this public benefit, approximately 50% of the cul-de-sacs within the
development should be open ended. If there is an existing or proposed trail abutting an
open-ended cul-de-sac, a trail connection must be provided.
Cul-de-sac with a trail connection to the arterial at the end.
Page 6 of 9
13. Open Space is consolidated and usable.
Purpose: Create open space areas that can be usable to the neighborhood, either passively or
actively.
Criteria: This public benefit may be satisfied if the open space is created based on the following
guidelines:
- Buildings are organized around the open space.
- Open space is a framing and organizing feature.
- Open space is accessible to the local population within the neighborhood.
- Open space is designed in such a way that it doesn’t appear as though it is
someone’s backyard.
-Stormwater ponds canbe incorporated as a design feature.
- It is preferred that applicants commit to making privately owned open space
accessible and usable to the larger public.
It is not expected for open space to achieve all of the above guidelines, but a good faith
effort to incorporate as many of the guidelines as possible is expected for this public
benefit to be satisfied.
14. Open space is connected with green (natural) corridors.
Purpose: Connect open spaces and reduce the occurrent of isolated open space areas.
Criteria: Where open space is not consolidated, it will be seen as a public benefit to link open
space with natural corridors. A well-designed combination of open space areas, trails
(formal or informal), and stormwater ponds can help to achieve the purpose of this
identified public benefit.
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.
Page 7 of 9
Criteria: It may be seen as a public benefit if developers provide a master open space plan that
highlights open space areas and the pedestrian corridors and connections between
them. The master plan must also identify long-term maintenance practices and
responsibilities.
16. Natural resources and features are retained.
Purpose: Encourage the preservation of significant or unique natural resources and/or
topographical features if they exist.
Criteria: This public benefit may be satisfied when a developer retains high-value and/or unique
natural features of a site where possible.
Examples of desirable features include high quality natural communities as identified in
the 2040 Comprehensive Plan Natural Resources Inventory Areas map, trees, ravines,
and hilltops.
A PUD is not expected to retain all identified natural resources or features, particularly
on sites comprised of large areas of high quality natural communities. However, an
applicant must provide a detailed narrative explaining their efforts to minimize the
removal and/or alteration of natural features while achieving their own vision for the
site. If multiple natural plant communities are identified on the site, the applicant
should attempt to retain areas of each type of community.
17. Extensive internal landscaping.
Purpose: Encourage a larger amount of landscaping than required by code.
Criteria: This public benefit may be satisfied if a proposal includes at least 120% of the minimum
landscaping units required in the underlying Zoning Ordinance.
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: This benefit may be satisfied if landscaping incorporates appropriate use of native
plants.
19. Use of preferred trees in landscaping.
Purpose: Encourage incorporation of tree species identified the City as a preferred species..
Criteria: This benefit may be satisfied if proposed landscaping is primarily comprised of trees
species identified as preferred in the Northeast District Plan and Design Guidelines.
However, PUD proposals located in the Town Center should be primarily comprised of
the identified “Suggested Trees for the Town Center” provided in the Southeast District
Plan and Design Guidelines.
Page 8 of 9
20. Existing rural structures are retained and/or reused.
Purpose: Preserve existing structures that are in good condition and have historical value.
Criteria: This public benefit is satisfied with the incorporation of existing structures, foundations,
etc., into the development for aesthetic and historic preservation purposes.
Preservation of a silo is particularly desired within the community.
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 visual terminus, such as a gazebo or monument, can
replace the rural structure to satisfy the intent of this category.
21. Higher Architectural Standards
Purpose: Encourage a higher architectural standard within PUD proposals.
Criteria: This public benefit is met when a developer goes above and beyond the architectural
standards required in code.
Residential developments that honor Corcoran’s rural character by incorporating the
recommended architectural styles identified in the Southeast District Plan will satisfy
this category.
A commitment to use regional building materials may also be considered a public
benefit.
22. Lot Size Variety
Purpose: Encourage larger lot sizes.
Criteria: This public benefit may be met if at least 10% of the lots within the development exceed
a lot width of 65’ or exceed a lot area of 7,500 square feet.
23. Larger Tree Sizes
Purpose: Encourage developments to provide more effective screening and mature landscaping
within the first few years of construction.
Criteria: It may be considered a public benefit for developers to commit to planting at least 25%
of the required overstory trees at the following sizes:
Potted/Bare Root or Balled and Burlapped
Shade Trees 4” diameter
Evergreen Trees 10’
Page 9 of 9
24. Natural restoration work
Purpose: Reward developments that restore wooded areas, prairies, wetlands, soils, etc.
Criteria: It may be considered a public benefit if at least 5 acres of natural restoration work is
completed to restore wooded areas, prairies, and wetlands.
Removal of buckthorn also qualifies under this public benefit.
25. Extraordinary environmental protection
Purpose: Reward any other unregulated environmental protection that has not already been
addressed.
Criteria: It may be considered a public benefit when there is other extraordinary environmental
protections implemented not already addressed by this document.
26. Areas of parkland, woodland, or other open space (above minimum)
Purpose: Encourage creation of open space areas in a development, whether they are active park
areas in a development or passive woodland areas or other open space.
Criteria: It may be seen as a public benefit when additional acres are set aside for dedicated
parkland (if accepted by the City) or other open space areas that are in outlots or
conservation easements.
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.
27. 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: It may be seen as a benefit when PUD plans feature creative and efficient methods of
design or incorporate new technologies or materials. For example, the use of building-
integrated solar technology (AKA solar skins) for a development that provides high
energy efficiency while being aesthetically compatible with the surrounding
neighborhood.

STAFF REPORT Agenda Item 8b.
City Council Meeting:
June 22, 2023
Prepared By:
Natalie Davis McKeown
Topic:
Rental Dwelling Ordinance
Property Maintenance Code
City Code Amendments
(City File No. 22-046)
Action Required:
Approval
60-Day Review Deadline: N/A
1. Request:
The City Council is asked to take final action on proposed amendments to the City Code related
to rental dwelling licenses and property maintenance.
2.Background and Analysis:
Creation and adoption of a rental dwelling ordinance was identified as one of the Council’s “Top
4” priorities to address in the remainder of 2022. The Council expressed a desire to establish a
rental dwelling ordinance with the following concerns in mind:
1.The phenomenon of corporate entities buying up large amounts of homes (particularly
single-family homes, twin-homes, and townhomes) within a community to convert them
into rental properties. The Council was concerned this pattern runs the risk of reducing
homeownership opportunities for local residents while increasing housing costs.
2.The potential for new neighborhoods developed with homeownership in mind to be
converted into primarily rental neighborhoods. This concern was specific to
neighborhoods with single-family homes, twin-homes, and townhomes.
3.The importance of an exemption for property owners renting to a family member.
A first draft was shared with the Council at the September 22nd work session. The following key
feedback was provided:
1. Apply a rental license limit to single-family rentals as well as twin-homes and
townhomes.
2.Set the rental density limit within a neighborhood at 25% of the homes on a block.
3.In applying the rental license limit on the amount of licenses a single individual or entity
can hold, the Council asked to remove a clause that would have allowed entities with a
property management company to bypass the licensing limit.
4.The Council stated they felt a year to comply with the rental licensing requirements
(including property maintenance) was fair with a carve out for life saving measures.
5.The Council asked staff to spend one hour on researching ordinances for short-term
rentals (for Airbnb and the like) to see if it was a simple paragraph that could be added
into the draft.
A second draft was shared with the Council at the November 21st work session. The following
key feedback was provided:
Page 2 of 3
1. Further refinement was desired regarding the special exemption process and the basis
the Council is to review, approve, or deny such requests. It was stated that the approval
should be based on a “net public benefit”.
2. Clarification was desired on how manufactured homes would be treated, and staff was
directed to reach out to the owner of Maple Hill Estates to discuss the ordinance.
3. Staff was directed to add definitions of apartments, single-family homes, twin-homes,
and townhomes.
4. Staff was directed to clarify the language regarding the requirement to notify the City
once the relative homestead status no longer applies to a property.
5. It was agreed that a licensing process for short-term rentals would be handled as a
separate process.
6. The Council expressed a desire for property maintenance violations to count as a strike.
7. The Council expressed a desire for the look-back period of violations that count as
strikes to be 18 months instead of 12 months.
8. Public Safety expressed the following concerns:
a. The exemption of owner-occupied units that rent out bedrooms to unrelated
adults was a concern as the police have encountered problematic properties
within the community that would benefit from being required to comply with the
proposed rental licensing provisions.
b. Requested that the requirement for the property manager to live within the 7-
county metro area be changed to a radius.
c. Preferred the Code Compliance Official to be in charge of compliance with the
proposed strike system in coordination with the Public Safety Director.
d. Proposed a presumptive revocation of a rental license after a certain number of
violations with the option for a hearing in which an appeal of the revocation can
be requested.
A third draft that incorporated the feedback from the November work session was reviewed by
Council at the April 13, 2023, work session. Staff was provided with the following feedback:
1. Remove the general exemption process for rental license limits applied to a single
individual or entity.
2. Increase the number of rental licenses for a single individual or entity from three to five
while including an exemption for existing property owners with more than 5 rental
properties if they notify the City within a timely period after adoption of the ordinance.
3. Determine if language could be added to limit issuing rental licenses to applicants with a
poor criminal history.
A fourth draft that incorporated the feedback from the April work session was reviewed by
Council at the May 25, 2023, regular meeting. Staff was provided with the following feedback:
1. Reduce the block density for rental licenses to 20% with the added hardship exemption
provided for property owners struggling to sell a home.
• The Mayor later requested staff to prepare density tables for 25%, 20%, and
15% for comparison. The enclosed ordinance uses 20% as directed by
Council. However, density tables are attached to this report for comparison.
2. Clarify the hardship exemption to rental license density is limited to a property owner
who owns no more than one other residential property within Corcoran.
Page 3 of 3
3. The City Attorney clarified verbiage related to state licensed residential facilities.
4. Prepare the rental dwelling license and property maintenance code ordinances for
adoption and publish notice of a public hearing.
The discussed changes were made and final edits from the City Attorney are incorporated into
the attached ordinance for adoption. Staff proposes adopting the rental dwelling license
ordinance with an effective date of July 1, 2023, as it provides a clean renewal date for rental
licenses going forward. Rental property owners will have until January 1, 2024, to register their
rental properties within the City. The property maintenance code ordinance is drafted with an
effective date of June 22, 2023, as this date is less consequential. The proposed fee schedule
to administer this program will be addressed in item 10a. of this agenda packet.
3. Recommendation
Staff recommends for the Council to make a motion to adopt the following as drafted or with
minor modifications:
1. Ordinance 2023-488 Amending Title XI of the City Code Related to Rental Dwelling
Licenses.
2. Summary Ordinance 2023-489 for Publication.

hardship of a property owner who owns no more than one other residential
property within the City or the rental dwelling qualifies as a State licensed
residential facility. Bona fide existing rental licenses may be renewed, however,
should a rental license not be renewed, or if the rental license is revoked or
lapses, the rental license shall not be reinstated unless it is in conformance with
this subchapter and other applicable sections of the City Code.

The applicant shall pay a background investigation fee for each background
investigation conducted.
2. For renewal applications, background investigations are not required and no background
investigation fee shall be required; however, the City may conduct a background
investigation, at its sole discretion, at the City’s cost. The results of a discretionary

118.05: MAINTENANCE STANDARDS.
City of Corcoran
County of Hennepin
State of Minnesota
June 22, 2023
ORDINANCE NO. 2023-493
Page 10 of 17
A. It is the responsibility of the licensee to assure that every rental dwelling and RDU is
maintained in compliance with all applicable city ordinances and state and federal laws
including, but not limited to:
1. MN State Building Code
2. The Corcoran Property Maintenance Code
3. MN State Fire Code
4. Corcoran City Code
(Collectively the “Maintenance Codes”)
B. Inspections. No operating license may be issued or renewed unless the City determines,
following an inspection conducted pursuant to this section, that the rental dwelling and its
premises conform to the Maintenance Codes. As more specifically provided below, the
Code Compliance Official and their designees may cause inspections, follow-up
inspections, and re-inspections on rental dwellings or RDUs on all classes of property
within the City on a scheduled basis, and on rental dwellings, RDUs, owner-occupied
residential units on all classes of property when reason exists to believe that a violation of
an applicable portion of the Maintenance Codes exists, has been, or is being committed.
1. The Code Compliance Official and their designees are authorized to contact owners,
tenants, and managers of rental dwellings to schedule inspections of rental dwellings at
reasonable times. They are also authorized to conduct those inspections once scheduled.
These scheduled inspections will be conducted to determine whether the rental dwelling
and its premises conform to the Maintenance Codes so as to inform the City’s decision
of whether to issue an operating license. The authority to schedule and to conduct these
inspections is available even if the owner or owner’s agent holds a temporary or
provisional license, and without regard to whether the owner or owner’s agent has filed
an application for an operating license.
2. Upon receipt of a properly executed application for an operating license, the Code
Compliance Official shall cause an inspection to be made of the premises to determine
whether the structure is in compliance with the Maintenance Codes. Inspections
performed pursuant to the authority in paragraph 1 and paragraph 2 of this subsection
are hereinafter described as “Licensing Inspections.”
3. The Code Compliance Official and their designees are authorized to conduct inspections
on rental dwellings, RDUs, or owner-occupied residential units on all classes of
property when reason exists to believe that a violation of an applicable portion of the
Maintenance Codes exists, has been, or is being committed. A complaint or complaints
from a tenant of a rental dwelling shall be an adequate basis for an inspection of a rental
dwelling.
4. To increase the awareness by owners of the likely timing of requested inspections and
to conserve public resources, the Code Compliance Official may schedule and conduct
City of Corcoran
County of Hennepin
State of Minnesota
June 22, 2023
ORDINANCE NO. 2023-493
Page 11 of 17
inspections pursuant to paragraph 1 according to the area of the City in which the unit is
located, dividing the City into zones and endeavoring to perform inspections pursuant to
paragraph 1 in one zone before beginning them in a different zone.
5. If a structure or rental dwelling is not in compliance, one or more follow-up inspections
or re-inspections may be conducted to verify that conditions and any corrections
conform to the provisions to the Maintenance Codes.
6. When the basis for the inspection pursuant to this section is information observed or
obtained during a Licensing Inspection, such reinspection or follow-up inspections shall
be conducted on a scheduled basis, whenever possible.
7. When scheduling Licensing Inspections pursuant to this chapter, the Code Compliance
Official or their designee will seek the consent of the owner of the property (if not
already received) to inspect those areas outside of the RDUs that are not accessible to
the general public (including any internal rooms that are inaccessible to the public, such
as storage or mechanical rooms) and to unrented dwelling units, and the consent of the
primary tenant of the RDU (if not already received) to inspect the Unit. If the property
owner demonstrates to the satisfaction of the Code Compliance Official or their
designee that one more tenants have consented in writing to the inspection of their units,
individual contact by the City with those tenants may be deemed unnecessary.
a. For the purposes of satisfying paragraph 7, owners of RDUs shall report to the
City the full names, telephone numbers, and addresses of the principal tenant of
all RDUs under their ownership or control, and update such information as
needed to ensure that it is accurate and current. Licensees are responsible for the
accuracy and completeness of this information and the City shall be permitted to
rely on the same when determining appropriate notice.
8. If the City is unsuccessful in securing consent for an inspection pursuant to this chapter,
the City may seek permission, from a judicial officer through an administrative warrant,
for its Code Compliance Official, Building Official, Fire Marshal and their applicable
designees to conduct an inspection. Nothing in this Code shall limit or constrain the
authority of the judicial officer to condition or limit the scope of the administrative
warrant.
9. The scope of a Licensing Inspection shall be limited to what is necessary to determine
in accordance with this chapter whether the rental dwelling or applicable RDU and its
premises conform to the Maintenance Codes. This shall not preclude the applicable
inspector from relying upon observations made during a Licensing Inspection in seeking
one or more of the remedies provided in this chapter.
10. A Licensing inspection must be scheduled during ordinary business hours or as
otherwise arranged with the owner or tenant. Owners and their agents and tenants may
City of Corcoran
County of Hennepin
State of Minnesota
June 22, 2023
ORDINANCE NO. 2023-493
Page 12 of 17
at their option request that Licensing Inspections above take place only when they are
present, so long as the request identifies a reasonable, feasible and expedient time(s) for
such inspection following the date of the request when the requesting party agrees to be
present.
11. Inspectors are not authorized to open containers, drawers, or medicine cabinets, unless
the containers, drawer, or medicine cabinets are opened with the consent of the tenant
(for areas inside the RDU) or the Owner (for areas inside the building but outside a
tenant’s unit, and areas inside an unoccupied unit). For purposes of this paragraph, a
medicine cabinet is a covered cabinet located above a sink in a dwelling unit’s
bathroom.
12. Inspectors are authorized to open cabinets (other than medicine cabinets) or closets only
when because of their location, those closets or cabinets, when unopened, appear to
contain one or more water or waste water pipes, or fuses, or exposed electrical wiring,
and it is reasonably necessary in order to inspect for the existence of one or more
conditions that violations the Maintenance Codes, or when the cabinets or closets are
opened with the consent of the tenant (for areas inside the unit) or the Owner (for areas
inside the building but outside a tenant’s unit, and areas inside an unoccupied unit).
C. Inspection Not Required. Inspection for the issuance or renewal of a license may be waived
by the City, in its sole discretion, if the owner of a dwelling unit proves that within the
previous 12 months the dwelling unit passed an inspection required by the City, State, or
Federal regulations that is at least as stringent as the inspection required under this chapter
and the City is not aware of any evidence of violations occurring or present subsequent to
that alternative inspection. The City has sole discretion to determine when an inspection
program is at least as stringent as the inspection required under this chapter. Inspections
conducted as the result of a complaint made to the City may not be waived under this
provision.
118.06: COMPLIANCE ORDERS.
A. Upon the identification of a violation of the Maintenance Codes, the City shall provide
written notice of the violation to the Owner or Manager. Notice may be personally served
on or otherwise directly provided to the Owner or Manager or delivered by U.S. mail to the
Owner or Manager at the address on record with the City in the license. The notice shall
articulate the violation and the time by which the violation must be corrected.
B. Should the Licensee fail to correct the noticed violation within the time provided, the City
may pursue any or multiple remedies contemplated in this chapter.
C. The notice provisions herein shall not apply to, and nothing in this section shall prohibit the
City from taking immediate action to address an emergency as contemplated in Section
118.09.
City of Corcoran
County of Hennepin
State of Minnesota
June 22, 2023
ORDINANCE NO. 2023-493
Page 13 of 17
D. If a fifth or subsequent violation of Corcoran’s Maintenance Codes, involving the same
property and licensee, occurs within 18 months of any four previous properly noticed
violations pursuant to paragraph A, a revocation hearing will be required and the City
Council may take action to deny, revoke, suspend, or not renew the license. Failure for a
licensee or designated property manager to appear at the hearing will be grounds for
automatic revocation of the rental license. The effective date of a license revocation or
suspension will be determined by the City Council at the hearing unless the Official finds
life threatening conditions at the property that create a public safety emergency. In such an
instance, the rental license can be revoked or suspended prior to the hearing date, but the
City Council can choose to reinstate the license if extenuating circumstances outside of the
control of the licensee are shown at the hearing.
118.07: LICENSEE RESPONSIBLE FOR CONDUCT OF OCCUPANTS OR GUESTS
A. Conduct on the licensed premises. It shall be the responsibility of the licensee to take
appropriate action following conduct by occupant(s) or guest(s) of the occupant(s) which is
in violation of any of the following statutes or ordinances:
1. Minn. Stat. § 609.72 relating to disorderly conduct.
2. Minn. Stat. § 609.74 and Subd. 5 of Chapter 82.04 of the City Code related to public
nuisances and noise nuisances.
3. Minn. Stat. § 340A.701-340A.703 relating to the sale of intoxicating liquor.
4. Minn. Stat. § 609.321, Subd. 9 relating to prostitution or acts related to prostitution.
5. Minn. Stat. § 609.221 et seq. relating to assaults as defined in Minn. Stat. § 609.224.
6. Minn. Stat. § 609.595 relating to criminal damage to property.
B. Enforcement and Administration
1. The Code Compliance Official in coordination with the Director of Public Safety or
their designee(s) shall be responsible for enforcement and administration of this section.
2. Upon a determination by the Code Compliance Official or his/her designee (the
“Official”) that a licensed rental dwelling was involved in a violation of paragraph A
above, the Official shall notify the licensee by U.S. mail of the violation and direct the
licensee to take steps to prevent further violations. A copy of the notice shall also be
sent to a tenant in violation of paragraph A.
3. Upon a second violation of the provisions of paragraph A within 18 months involving
the same tenant or occupant or a guest of the same tenant or occupant, notice of the
violation shall be provided as set forth in paragraph B2 above, and shall require the
licensee to submit a written report of action taken to prevent further violations on the
licensed premises. The written report shall be submitted to the Official within 10
business days of the request for the same and shall detail all actions taken by the
licensee in response to all notices regarding violations to paragraph A occurring within
the preceding 18 months. If the licensee fails to comply with the requirements of this
City of Corcoran
County of Hennepin
State of Minnesota
June 22, 2023
ORDINANCE NO. 2023-493
Page 14 of 17
paragraph, the City Council may take action on the license, after providing an
opportunity for a hearing to contest the allegations of non-compliance with this
paragraph.
4. If a third or subsequent violation of paragraph A, involving the same tenant or occupant
or a guest of the same tenant or occupant, occurs within 18 months of any two previous
properly noticed violations pursuant to paragraph A, a revocation hearing will be
required and the City Council may take action to deny, revoke, suspend, or not renew
the license. Failure of a licensee or designated property manager to appear at the hearing
will be grounds for automatic revocation of the rental license. The effective date of a
license revocation or suspension will be determined by the City Council at the hearing
unless the Official finds life threatening conditions at the property that create a public
safety emergency. In such an instance, the rental license can be revoked or suspended
prior to the hearing date, but the City Council can choose to reinstate the license if
extenuating circumstances outside of the control of the licensee are shown at the
hearing.
5. Bona fide calls for assistance made by occupants of a rental dwelling or RDU shall not,
in and of themselves, count as a violation of paragraph A including, but not limited to,
tenants calling the police for assistance with a gathering of people that has become a
nuisance at a rental dwelling or RDU and instances of domestic assault. However, City
representatives who observe separate violations when responding to a call for assistance
may determine a violation exists which may be counted as a violation of this Section
118.07 or a violation of Section 118.06.
6. The City Council may stay or terminate any adverse licensing action if the triggering
violation occurred during the pendency of an eviction proceeding to remove the
offending tenant or occupant, and that proceeding is being diligently pursued by the
licensee.
6. A determination that the licensed premises has been used in violation of paragraph A
shall be made upon substantial evidence to support such determination. It shall not be
necessary that criminal charges be filed or proven to support such a determination.
Further, imposition of other enforcement actions, penalties, administrative offense
tickets, criminal charges, or other actions on the license shall not act as a bar to any
other action on the license pursuant to this chapter.
C. Appeal
1. Upon notice of a violation of paragraph A, or upon a notice of a failure to comply with
paragraph B3, the licensee or tenant in violation may file a written appeal of such
asserted violation with the City Clerk, within 10 days of the notice, after which any
appeal shall be deemed to have been waived. Upon receipt of notice of such appeal,
the City shall schedule and notice a hearing before the City Council to hear evidence to
determine if substantial evidence exists to support such asserted violation.
City of Corcoran
County of Hennepin
State of Minnesota
June 22, 2023
ORDINANCE NO. 2023-493
Page 15 of 17
2. Upon rendering a decision, the City Council shall provide notice to the appellant of the
Council’s decision. Should the Council uphold the appeal, the violation shall be
removed from the property file and shall not be considered when determining the
number of license violations at the rental dwelling.
118.08: LICENSE DENIAL, SUSPENSION, OR REVOCATION, VIOLATIONS
A. Violations. A violation of this chapter is a misdemeanor. Each day a person fails to comply
with a compliance order or other provision of this chapter shall constitute a separate
offense. In addition to enforcement of criminal remedies, the City may issue administrative
offense tickets, and/or take action on a license, or pursue any other remedy at law or in
equity available to the City. The City’s remedies shall be cumulative and may be pursued
against multiple parties. The City’s election to pursue any one remedy set forth herein shall
not act as a bar to any other remedial action.
B. Assessment of unpaid administrative penalties. Any unpaid administrative penalty for
failure to comply with the rental licensing provisions in this Chapter may be assessed
against the property in the manner set forth in City Code.
C. Grounds for denial, suspension, or revocation. The City Council may deny, revoke, or
suspend a license pursuant to this Section. During a suspension, the property for which the
suspension occurred shall be included for purposes of calculating the number of eligible lots
per block, unless found to be otherwise ineligible.
1. A license issued pursuant to this chapter may be denied, revoked, or suspended upon a
finding of noncompliance with the provisions of this chapter. Further, non-disclosure,
misrepresentation or misstatement of material fact in any application for a license shall
be prima facie showing of cause for revocation, suspension, or other such action
restricting the privileges of a licensee, as determined by the City Council.
Reinstatement of a suspended or revoked license shall be accompanied by a fee in an
amount set by the City Council. Issuance of a new license after suspension or
revocation shall be made in the manner provided for obtaining an initial license. Any
Owner or principal of an Owner entity who has an interest in two or more licenses
revoked pursuant to this chapter shall be ineligible to hold or have an interest in a
license for a period of at least five years.
2. The City Council may, for cause, deny, revoke, or suspend a license or take other action
restricting the privileges of a license subject to the following requirements:
a. The City shall provide written notice to the licensee containing a
statement of reasons or causes for the proposed action together with a
notice of a hearing.
b. The City Council shall conduct a hearing on the proposed action and
hear relevant evidence the applicable City representatives and from the
City of Corcoran
County of Hennepin
State of Minnesota

licensee or affected tenant, if any is offered. The City Council shall
consider such evidence and provide findings of fact together with a
statement of action taken, along with any applicable conditions of any
such action or other action restricting the privileges of the licensee.
c. The City shall forward the findings and statement of action taken to the
licensee by mailing the same to the address of record in the license.
D. Notification of tenants. Upon suspension, revocation, or denial of a license, or if the RDU is
not licensed, the City will make reasonable efforts to notify all affected tenants.
118.09: SUMMARY ACTION.
A. Emergency. When the conduct of any owner or owner’s agent, representative, employee or
lessee, or the condition of the rental dwelling or RDU, or the property in or on which it is
located, is detrimental to the public health, sanitation, safety and general welfare of the
community, or residents of the rental dwelling or RDU so as to constitute a nuisance, fire
hazard, or other unsafe or dangerous condition and thus give rise to an emergency, the Code
Compliance Official or Building Official has the authority to summarily and immediately
condemn or close rental dwellings or individual RDUs or areas of the rental dwelling as the
Code Compliance Official or Building Official deem necessary.
B. Notice. Notice of summary action will be posted at the units or areas affected and will
describe the units or areas affected. No person shall remove the posted notice, other than the
Code Compliance Official or Building Official or their designee.
C. Appeal. Any personal aggrieved by a decision or action of the Code Compliance Official or
their designee to condemn all or part of a rental dwelling shall be entitled to appeal to the
Council by filing a notice of appeal with the City Administrator, within 10 days. The
Administrator must schedule a date for hearing before the Council and notify the appellant
of the date.
118.10: POSTED TO PREVENT OCCUPANY.
Whenever any rental dwelling or RDU is found to be unfit for human habitation, it shall be posted
by the Code Compliance Official or their designee on the door of the rental dwelling or RDU,
whichever the case may be, to prevent further occupancy. No person, other than the Code
Compliance Official or their designee, shall remove or alter any posting. The Code Compliance
Office or their designee will post the date the rental dwelling or RDU shall be vacated, and no
person shall reside in, occupy, or cause to be occupied that rental dwelling or RDU until the Code
Compliance Official or Council permits it.
118.11: NO WARRANTY BY CITY.
By enacting and undertaking to enforce this chapter, neither the City, nor its Council, agents, or
employees warrant or guaranty the safety, fitness or suitability of any rental dwelling or RDU in
City of Corcoran

the City. Owners and occupants should take appropriate steps to protect their interests, health,
safety, and welfare.
118.12: SEVERABILITY AND SAVINGS CLAUSE.
If any section or portion of this chapter shall be found unconstitutional or otherwise invalid or
unenforceable by a court of competent jurisdiction, that finding shall not service as an invalidation
or effect the validity and enforceability of any other section or provision of this Code.

This Ordinance shall be in full force and effect as of 12:01 AM on July 1, 2023.

Council Meeting:
June 22, 2023
Prepared By:
Director Matt Gottschalk
Topic:
Police Records Management JPA
Action Required:
Authorization
Summary
The Corcoran Police Department participates in the Lake Minnetonka Area Consortium
(LMAC) for its records management system. All of the member agencies utilize a
software called LETG. In LETG, the agencies are able to create, store, and share their
police records data. Corcoran has been using LETG since 2012.
The ownership of LETG has changed hands a couple of times and it is currently owned
by Central Square. The LMAC LETG data is currently hosted by Central Square. In the
past year Central Square has gone back and forth on considering end of life for LETG.
During this time LETG has also struggled with significant downtime and outages. The
LMAC agencies have been evaluating what the next records management solution
should be and there is currently money contained in the CIP for the new RMS project.
In the interim, the LMAC group has been working on a solution to store the data locally
in order to improve reliability and ensure access. After a new system is selected, the
department will likely still need access and storage for the data retention period for a
bulk of the existing information (7 years). The LMAC group has found consultants to
conduct the data migration and a suitable on-premise storage location at the South
Lake Minnetonka Police Department. In order to complete the on-premise migration and
manage the on-site storage and maintenance for the duration of the agreement, the
South Lake Minnetonka Police Department has agreed to act as the fiscal agent for the
LMAC group. Hennepin County is the only current LMAC agency pursuing an
independent option.
The attached Joint Powers Agreement for Data Storage Server Sharing And
Governance was drafted in collaboration with our City Attorney and the Attorney for the
South Lake Minnetonka Police Department. It grants the South Lake Minnetonka Police
Department authority to facilitate the work on behalf of the group.
Financial/Budget
The costs for the data migration and storage is planned to be split evenly amongst the
13 participating agencies. The initial one-time cost for setup and migration is estimated
to be $7,692 per city and the annual maintenance costs are estimated to be $5,769 per
city. The actual annual maintenance costs would be included in the operating budget for
future years.

which RMS data will be fed. The Members, through the authorized representative
identified above, will engage GTEL Advisors, LLC for consultant services related to the
proper design and establishment of the new data storage site and will engage Morris
Electronics, Inc. to consult and assist in the procurement, installation, and maintenance
of the appropriate hardware for the same. GTEL Advisors, LLC shall also assist in the
technical aspects of migrating Member Data from the existing storage location to the
selected local storage location. GTEL Advisors, LLC and Morris Electronics, Inc. are
collectively referred to herein as the “Contractors”. The authorized representative shall
pay all contractor invoices for all services rendered pursuant to this Agreement and then
invoice the Members equally for such costs. Members shall pay such invoices promptly
to the authorized representatives and not later than thirty (30) days after receipt of the
same. Prior to the initiation of a hardware acquisition valued at fifty thousand dollars
($50,000.00) or more, the authorized representative shall obtain the approval of the
Governing Board of said purchase. The authorized representative is authorized to make
all reasonable purchases recommended by the Contractors and related to the purpose of
this Agreement which are valued at less than this amount. The authorized
representative shall ensure that Contractors comply with all applicable public competitive
bidding requirements for any purchases made pursuant to this Agreement.
5) HOSTING/ON-GOING SUPPORT COSTS: South Lake Minnetonka Police Department
agrees to provide a secure location for the housing of necessary data storage
equipment, at no cost to the Members. Hosting and on-going support services will be
acquired from one or both of the Contractors or from a separate contractor selected by
the Governing Board. The contractor selected for hosting duties shall be responsible for
maintaining all Member Data in compliance with all FBI and CJIS security requirements.
The nominated contractor(s) selected to provide these services shall also forecast
funding needs for end of service life replacements, standard maintenance and repairs,
anticipated upgrades, and decommissioning costs and these anticipated costs shall be
shared with the Members to facilitate reasonable budgeting. The authorized
representative shall pay all invoices for hosting and on-going support services and
invoice the Members equally for said costs. Each Member is responsible to budget for
all reasonably anticipated support and maintenance costs.
6) NEW PARTIES. If another law enforcement agency or government entity that is not a
party to this Agreement wishes to become a Member (that agency or entity a “Joining
Agency”), the Joining Agency may request that it be added as a party to this Agreement
or request that the Agreement be otherwise amended to accommodate the needs of the
Joining Agency. This request shall be subject to the approval of a majority of the then
current Members of this Agreement. The parties shall then execute an amendment to
this Agreement that adds the new governmental entity as a party to this Agreement,
and sets forth the particular terms of that collaboration.
7) TERM AND MEMBER WITHDRAWAL. This Agreement shall terminate on the tenth
anniversary of the effective date set forth on page one, unless extended by separate
agreement of the then remaining Members. The Agreement may be terminated earlier
only as follows:
a. Immediate termination may occur upon the unanimous agreement of all then
remaining Members; or
b. Early termination may occur upon a ¾ majority vote of the then remaining
Members, however, such termination shall not take effect for at least one (1)
year after notice of that decision has been provided to all remaining Members.
Any termination shall require all remaining Members to pay their proportionate share of
the reasonably forecasted decommissioning costs for any and all data storage site(s)
established pursuant to this Agreement. Such payment shall be made no later than
thirty (30) days prior to the effective date of the termination.
Members may withdraw from this Agreement prior to termination as set forth above
upon the provision of seven (7) years’ notice provided to the Chairperson of the
Governing Board. Members which withdraw from this Agreement are not entitled to any
property, or assets purchased pursuant to this Agreement. Withdrawing Members shall
be responsible for any and all costs incurred related to their withdrawal. Withdrawing
Members shall be entitled to a copy of their data which has been stored pursuant to this
Agreement. However, a withdrawing Member shall not be entitled to removal or
immediate deletion of their embedded and stored data. The Members agree that
Member Data shall be stored, maintained and protected pursuant to this Agreement and
applicable law, at all times, when housed at a storage site established pursuant to this
Agreement. A withdrawing Member may request that the Member’s data be deleted
when feasible, but the remaining Members shall have no obligation to complete the
deletion until the servers on the storage site(s) are decommissioned.
The Governing Board shall establish a withdrawal fee to be collected from all
withdrawing Members upon withdrawal. Withdrawing Members shall pay this
withdrawal fee no later than thirty (30) days prior to the effective date of the
withdrawal. The withdrawal fee shall reflect each Member’s proportionate share of
reasonably projected decommissioning costs upon the termination of this Agreement.
Upon the termination of this Agreement, the remaining Members shall properly
decommission any and all data storage sites established pursuant to this Agreement and
take all necessary steps to permanently secure or delete all stored data, in compliance
with all applicable law. Any purchased infrastructure may be sold after full and proper
decommissioning and removal or deletion of Member Data and any value therefore may
be used to offset the costs of decommissioning the site. In the event a positive balance
of funds is held by the remaining Members after decommissioning is complete, the
Governing Board shall disburse the funds in the Governing Board’s discretion.
8) INDEMNIFICATION. Each Member shall hold harmless, defend and indemnify all
other Members; their officials, employees and agents, from and against any and all
claims, losses, liabilities, damages attributable to the indemnifying Member (collectively
“Claims”). This obligation shall include, without limitation, costs and expenses (including
defense, settlement, and reasonable attorneys’ fees) for Claims as a result of any
damages arising from or related to data storage on the contemplated servers. This
obligation shall survive termination of or withdrawal from this Agreement. Upon a
compliant withdrawal of a Member from this Agreement, the remaining Members agree
to hold harmless, defend and indemnify the withdrawing Member from any Claims
related to improper storage of the withdrawing Member’s data which remains on the
servers established pursuant to this Agreement. All obligations of this Section 8 shall be
subject to the liability limitations set forth in Chapter 466 and in no event shall the
statutory limits provided for in Chapter 466 be aggregated to make each Member liable
beyond the statutory limits.
9) DATA PRACTICES: All data collected, created, received, maintained or disseminated
for any purpose by the activities of the Members with respect to this Agreement, shall
be governed by Minnesota Statutes Chapter 13, as amended. All records kept by the
Members shall be subject to examination by the representatives of each Member.
10) AUDITS: Pursuant to Minnesota Statutes Chapter §16C.05, subd. 5, any books,
records, documents, and accounting procedures and practices of the Members relevant
to this Agreement are subject to examination by the Legislative Auditor or the State
Auditor, as appropriate. The Members shall maintain these per the Minnesota

Prepared By:
Natalie Davis McKeown
Topic:
2023 Fee Schedule Amendment
Action Required:
Approval
1. Summary
It is anticipated the City Council will adopt a Rental Dwelling License Ordinance. The
adopt of this Ordinance will require an amendment to the fee schedule to account for
license application fees, conversion fees for units not built as a rental unit and/or were
previously owner occupied, property inspections, and violations of the ordinance. In
reviewing the rental licensing fees of surrounding cities, staff recommends moving
forward with values that represent the median fees charged for these services. Staff will
collect data throughout the year on staff time as well as other direct and indirect costs of
the rental program. The fees will be re-evaluated for adjustment based on this data on
an annual basis.
2. Financial/Budget
The fee schedule is expected to cover the costs associated with administering rental
dwelling licenses.
3. Recommendation
Staff recommends adopting Ordinance 2023-492 Amending the 2023 Fee Schedule.

STAFF REPORT Agenda Item: 10b.
Council Meeting:
June 22, 2023
Prepared By:
Kevin Mattson
Topic:
Street Maintenance – Maltene Based
Restorative Seal
Action Required:
Approval
Summary
On February 9th, the Council authorized staff to obtain quotes for a “traditional” seal
coat/fog seal pavement maintenance application consistent with past city practices.
Public Works staff has been researching and monitoring other various pavement
maintenance seal coat type processes in the industry including a maltene based
restorative seal (commonly referred to as Reclamite).
A growing list of other communities in the Twin Cities Metro, including St. Michael,
Rockford, and Woodbury, have incorporated this approach into their pavement
management program.
Staff has completed a review of the product information and its successful field
performance to date.
As a result, staff recommends that the Council consider directing staff to seek quotes
and adjust the 2023 budget line item towards a maltene based restorative seal.
If approved, it is anticipated that the work would be completed in August.
Financial/Budget
Costs related to the proposed pavement maintenance work is included in the 2023
budget. Staff will adjust the project scope depending on the quotes received.
Options
1. Authorize staff to continue with the “traditional” seal coat/fog seal pavement
maintenance application.
2. Direct staff to seek quotes and adjust the 2023 budget line item towards a maltene
based restorative seal.
Recommendation
Direct staff to seek quotes and adjust the 2023 budget line item towards a maltene
based restorative seal.
Council Action:
Consider a motion to direct staff to seek quotes and adjust the 2023 budget line item
towards a maltene based restorative seal.

Reclamite®
Restores Asphalt &
Prevents Binder Aging
St. Michael, Minnesota
Reclamite® Study
orrectivesphaltaterials
On Creek View Circle, CAM left a section
(approximately 12’ x 15’) untreated and took core
sample #1 from here to determine benchmark
viscosity data. However, on Rambling Creek
Dr. and Lachman Ct. the fog seal contractor did
not leave an untreated control section, so core
samples were taken from nearby streets.
APART used the data from these core samples
as the basis for calculating the viscosity changes
in this study. The higher the viscosity rating, the
greater deterioration of the surface.
Reclamite has been used to preserve and rejuvenate asphalt pavements for more than five decades and
is proven to add five-to-seven years of service life to road surfaces.
In December 2021, Corrective Asphalt Materials
(CAM) completed a coring project that studied
Reclamite treatments on roads in St. Michael,
Minn., to quantify:
f The effect of Reclamite’s Maltene Replacement
Technology (MRT) on long-term binder
sustainability
f The benefits of multiple treatments
f How well Reclamite preserves surfaces
previously treated with a fog seal
About the study
The roads selected for this study were paved in
2016 and are located in the same neighborhood.
They were treated with Reclamite and fog seal as
indicated in the Schedule of Treatments in Table 1.
Analysis
In December 2021, core samples were extracted
and sent to Asphalt Pavement and Recycling
Technologies (APART) to analyze and compare the
asphalt binder’s rheology and changes in viscosity.
The results point to the following:
f Two Reclamite treatments offer significantly
greater protection against increasing asphalt
viscosity and deterioration than a single
treatment.
f An application of Reclamite can penetrate
and preserve binder integrity even on roads
previously treated with a fog seal.

Core sample #3
CAM treated this road with Reclamite in the
summer of 2017. Four and a half years later, this
asphalt surface showed 26% less viscosity than
the untreated control section.
Core sample #5
CAM gave this part of Creek View Circle a second
application of Reclamite in 2020 so we could
quantify the effect of an additional treatment.
Post-treatment, the decrease in viscosity was 48%
compared to the control.
Findings
The data from the core samples show that
Reclamite penetrated the surface and slowed
down the deterioration of the asphalt binder.
The time between treatment and extraction (1.5
years after the second Reclamite treatment and
4.5 years after the first Reclamite treatment)
Reclamite treatment of the core samples indicates
that viscosity changes are due to Reclamite’s
penetration of the asphalt, not residue on the
surface of the pavement that could be mixed with
the binder during the lab analysis.
Results confirm that Reclamite provides long-
term surface preservation, and an adequately
timed second application extends the service
life even more. At this point, we recommend two
applications of Reclamite in the Minnesota region.
CAM will start looking into the possibility of a third
application, field conditions, penetration amounts
and coring data will help determine this outcome.
Core samples #7 and #11
In the summer of 2020, CAM applied a Reclamite
treatment to these two roads to test the product’s
ability to penetrate the previously fog sealed asphalt.
Core samples #9 and #13
In summer 2017, St. Michael treated the roads
with a fog seal and no subsequent treatment
was applied.
Findings
Unfortunately, the contractor who applied the fog
seal did not leave an untreated control section. If
they had, taking the treated and untreated core
samples from the same road, in close proximity,
would have generated the most accurate results.
However, by comparing APART’s data, it is evident
that those streets treated with fog seal alone
became more viscous and showed greater binder
aging than Creek View Circle which was treated
with Reclamite only.
The data collected also indicates promising results
for the pavement treated with fog seal and then
with Reclamite. For these, CAM compared core
samples #7 and #11 with samples #9 and #13.
Cores #9 and #13 would act as the control only
treated with fog seal. Cores #7 and #11 were both
treated with fog seal and Reclamite. These four
cores were taken in close proximity and were
paved during the same timeframe.
The core sample from the section of Rambling
Creek Dr. had a 31% decrease in viscosity, while
on Lachman Ct., the drop was 32%. The samples
were taken a year and a half after the Reclamite
application. These results confirm that sufficient
quantities of Reclamite penetrated the fog seal
allowing the product’s MRT to reverse the effects
of aging and restore the binder’s integrity.

Findings
The data from the core samples show that
Reclamite penetrated the surface and slowed
down the deterioration of the asphalt binder. The
time between treatment and extraction of the
core samples indicates that viscosity changes are
due to Reclamite’s penetration of the asphalt, not
residue on the surface of the pavement that could
be mixed with the binder during the lab analysis.
Results confirm that Reclamite provides long-
term surface preservation and an adequately
timed second application extends the service life
even more. We recommend no more than two
applications of Reclamite in the Minnesota climate.
As previously stated, CAM will start looking
into the possibility of a third application, field
conditions, penetration amounts and coring data
will help determine this outcome.
STUDY CONCLUSIONS
Main Office (800) 374-5560 • CorrectiveAsphalt.com
Binder viscosity is the traditional way to measure
a rejuvenator’s performance. However, in recent
years, these measurements have shown false-
positive results because the testing materials
are made from solvents and other products
that soften the binder. Therefore, it is vital to
understand the testing product’s chemistry and
how it affects viscosity.
To be considered effective, rejuvenation products
need to demonstrate long-term sustainable
viscosity adjustment. Maltene replacement
technology (Reclamite) consistently shows long-
term sustainable rejuvenation. There is more
than 50 years of research and data showing that
Reclamite can sustain binder viscosity for more
than five years.
The picture below shows treated and untreated sections of Creek View Circle approximately four years after CAM
applied Reclamite in 2017. There is a clear delineation between the treated and untreated areas of the road.
We took the control cores discussed in this study from this road.
Viscosity is not the only way to evaluate a
rejuvenator’s performance. Physical test sections
are also a key performance indicator. There should
be a clearly visible “treated/untreated” line that
shows that the product has improved the surface of
the treated section. The contrast should be evident,
and the delineation should last for several years.
In most cases, the test sections should show
noticeable physical results for the life of the
pavement. Whether you use visual observation
or coring data, the treated surface should show
noticeable preservation even several years after a
product has been applied.

Projects/comments in blue italics are new.
The following is a status summary of active planning projects:
1. 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 Planning Commission held a public hearing on May 4th and
recommended approval of Option 2 (“PUD Public Benefits Policy”) of the drafted
amendments. At the May 25th regular meeting, the Council approved and adopted the
Ordinance with a minor amendment to allowed recreational spaces within required
open space.
2. Rental Ordinance (City File No. 22-046). Staff and City Council continue to work
through the draft ordinance and planning for administrative implementation.
Additional revisions were reviewed by the Council at the May 25 meeting. This item
is scheduled for a public hearing at the June 22 regular meeting.
3. Hope Community Sketch Plat (PID 11-119-23-14-0003) (City File No. 22-074).
Brian Lother submitted a concept plan application for a proposed residential and
mixed-use development on the properties surrounding Hope Community Church.
The concept includes medical offices, retail space, market rate apartments,
townhomes, senior villas, and some assisted living units. The Council authorized the
EAW at the January 12, 2023, regular meeting. The Council approved the
Page 2 of 3
distribution of the draft EAW at the May 25 regular meeting. The comment period for
the EAW is open from May 30 – July 6.
4. “Kwik Trip CUP, Lot Line Adjustment, and Site Plan” (PID 12-119-23-14-0006; 12-
