Voting Aye: Grabowski, Guenthner, Hudok, Jacobs and Thomas (Motion carried 5:0) PLANNING COMMISSION BUSINESS: Bechtold Farm Estates, Resolution No. 2008 -05 Agenda Approval Open Forum & Announcements: Recognition Planning Commission Business: Bechtold Farm Estates, Page -1- CITY OF CORCORAN CITY COUNCIL MEETING January 24, 2008 Planner Gartner presented that the applicant, Mr. William Bryant is proposing a 1 lot and 1 outlot subdivision. Lot 1 consisting of 5.7 acres and the outlot consisting of 41 acres. The Parks and Trails Commission discussed the future trails, to be located on the adjacent 80 -acre parcel owned by the Bechtolds. The Parks and Trails Commission requested that a 20 -foot trail easement be given to the city. The final location will be determined in the field with the Bechtolds, the Surveyor, the Elm Creek Watershed Management and the city. If the Bechtolds agree to give this trail easement to the city the Parks and Trails Commission is recommending the park dedication be reduced by $6,000. Outlot A shall have zero building rights remaining after the approval of the final plat. There were some questions about the proposed location of the trail easement. Planner Gartner explained that there isn't an existing trail easement on the proposed Outlot. The proposed trail easement is located on an 80 -acre parcel adjacent to the Outlot. It was noted that a change is needed in the resolution. The resolution states approval of the request by Mr. Clinton Heitke, it should read approval of the request of Mr. William Bryant. The date that the application was considered complete was November 19, 2007. A question was asked on what actually constitutes determination whether or not application is complete. Planner Gartner answered that he sent letter out to applicant, notifying them of missing items on the application. Once those items were received that is the time the application is considered complete. Staff was directed to include letters sent to the applicant in the project books. A question was asked on whether or not the zero building rights would ever be lifted on the Outlot. Planner Gartner answered that the rights would be lifted if ever the road were to be paved. He also explained that some of the building rights on the 80 acre parcel could be transferred over to the outlot in the future through a re- platting process. This lead into a discussion about setting a policy for building rights on outlots and it was suggested that council and the planning commission start discussing this further. There was some discussion about what council would like to see in their packets for approval of the plats. Council is requesting that the Planning Commission recommendations be included in their packets. Planner Gartner explained that he includes the Planning Commission recommendations with his recommendations on his report to the council. MOTION made by Hudok, seconded by Jacobs, to approve Resolution No. 2008- 05, A Resolution Approving the Preliminary Plat for "Bechtold Family Estates" on property located on Bechtold Road, with the correction of applicant's name in the "Therefore" section of the resolution. Voting Aye: Grabowski, Guenthner, Hudok, Jacobs and Thomas (Motion carried 5:0) Prairie Creek Estates Revised Final Plat/Development Agreement Revised Resolution No. 2008 -04 Planner Gartner presented that the applicant, Mr. Michael Leur is requesting that Agenda Item 9a. Resolution No. 2008 -05 Prairie Creek Estates Revised Final Plat /Development Agreement Revised, Page -2- CITY OF CORCORAN CITY COUNCIL MEETING January 24, 2008 the city amend the final plat approval that was granted on September 13, 2007 to allow for phasing of the development. This does not change the layout of the project, only the timing when the final plat for various areas is approved. Since the final plat, approved by Resolution No 2007 -66A hasn't been recorded with the county, this plat can be handled administratively by council without having to go through a re- platting process. If the council doesn't approve the amendment than the final plat maybe recorded by the applicant. The proposed revised final plat allows the applicant to sell the existing home located on Lot 1, Block 2 and provides two lots as inventory without the need for installing public improvements at this time. Phasing the project will allow the applicant to be able to control costs, until the real estate market improves. It was noted that the city attorney would like to add some additional language to the Resolution. City Attorney Langel explained that he would like language added stating that Resolution 2007 -66A isn't to be rescinded, but revised. There was some discussion about council having sympathy for the developer but not wanting to approve this because of the process in which this is happening. Some concerns raised were the development agreement being approved before the City Attorney has reviewed it. Another concern that was discussed was the fact that in Resolution 2008 -04 it states that future subdivision of Outlots D and E will be allowed pursuant to the approved Final Plat for Prairie Creek Estates, approved via Resolution 2007 -66A, but then later in the Resolution 2008 -04 it also states that Resolution 2007 -66A is to be rescinded. A question was asked on what improvements would be done with the first phase. Planner Gartner answered that there will be a little bit of berming along County Road 19 and some grading within the one outlot between the two lots for generating of the berm. He explained that the main street has already been constructed as part of the previous development and that the other streets would be created in Phase 2 or 3 and t. He noted that as part of the developmental agreement there is a $25,000 of letter of credit to repair the existing road in case this developer damages the other developers work and the city engineer will be responsible for determining if the road is damaged or not. There were some questions about when the Homeowners Association would be created. Planner Gartner answered that the homeowners association will be created with approval of the final plat and the three lots created will be part of the association. On page 5 of the Development Contract under Section 23, Responsibility For Costs, Letter D states that the Developer shall pay in full all bills submitted to the city for obligations incurred under this Contract within 30 days after receipt. There was some discussion about this being covered from the Escrow Account. On page 2 of the Development Contract under Section 7, Changes in Official Controls, should be revised to match Section 5 of the contract. Some clarification was needed on Attachment F; one of the sections was unidentified. Planner Gartner clarified that the unidentified section is Phase 2. MOTION made by Grabowski, seconded by Hudok, that due to the fact that the development agreement hasn't been reviewed by the City Attorney, and there Agenda Item 9a. Resolution No. 2008 -04 Page -3- CITY OF CORCORAN CITY COUNCIL MEETING January 24, 2008 being some unanswered questions that this item be sent back to the City Planner, City Attorney and the Planning Commission for further review. The developer explained that there are no changes being done to the plats, so he doesn't understand why this has to be delayed by going back to the preliminary plat stage. Mayor Guenthner suggested that the developer meet with the staff and try and create a way that this can be without having to go backwards while still following the city's ordinance. There was some discussion about this being sent back to the preliminary plat stage and if there is going to be some concerns raised regarding the Open Space Preservation. Mayor Guenthner answered that this is being sent back to the preliminary plat stage because of the technicality issue and there shouldn't be any concerns with the plat itself during the preliminary plat review. Planning Commission members were asked why they felt this item needed to be brought back to them for review. Rosalyn Milbrandt, Planning Commission Chair answered that their reasoning for wanting to bring it back for review, wasn't because of the content of the plat, it was because of the process of following the ordinance. MOTION TO AMEND made by Grabowski, seconded by Thomas to eliminate sending the plat back to the Planning Commission. Voting Aye: Grabowski, Guenthner, Hudok, Jacobs and Thomas (Motion carried 5:0) AMENDED MOTION made by Grabowski, seconded by Hudok, that due to the fact that the development agreement hasn't been reviewed by the City Attorney, and there being some unanswered questions that this item be sent back to the City Planner, City Attorney and the developer for further development. Voting Aye: Grabowski, Guenthner, Hudok, Jacobs and Thomas (Motion carried 5:0) Agenda Item 9a. Savoie Fields Final Plat, Resolution No. 2008 -07 Savoie Fields Final Plat, Resolution No. 2008 -07 Planner Gartner presented that the applicant, Terry and Karen Savoie, are proposing a 2 -lot subdivision on 17.16 acres. Currently there is one existing home located on the property. The Elm Creek Watershed District added a condition that the applicant must revise the drainage and utility easement to reflect the flood plain in that area. The final plat is in conformance to the requirements of the ordinance and is consistent with the preliminary plat previously approved. It was noted that the Planning Commission is not recommending approval of this fmal plat. There was a concern about the drawing being revised, but the City Planner's memo didn't reflect the revision. Planner Gartner stated that he would revise his memo to reflect the change in the drawing for the record. Application for preliminary and final plat approval was submitted and both application fees were paid in July of 2007. The preliminary plat was approved in September of 2007. A question was asked of how the timetable works for the approval deadlines. Attorney Langel answered that the typical 60 -day rule timetable starts again after the preliminary plat is approval, as long as all of the final plat material is received. Page -4- CITY OF CORCORAN CITY COUNCIL MEET] NG January 24, 2008 There was some discussion about the memo received from Hennepin County regarding the Floodplain Line Coordinates and a question was asked of why the applicant wasn't made aware of these before the applications were submitted. Planner Gartner answered that the applicant didn't have these points until January 2, which was after they submitted the final plat application. These type discussions with Hennepin County are result of the Heitke Farm project. Resolution No. 2008 -07 under condition 4 states that the applicant shall comply with all comments received from Boonstroo, the Elm Creek Water Management Commission and the Hennepin County Human Services Department. It was suggested that the specific comments be referenced for the applicant and in the future the comments be detailed and referenced according to a certain letter or email etc. On the memo from Boonestroo, comment 11 states that the existing garage will encroach on the drainage and utility easement and that the garage can remain in its current location knowing that the structure is at risk of the easement needs to be utilized. A question was asked if this should be referenced in the resolution. Planner Gartner answered that this comment could be added to the resolution. A question was asked on how the requirements made from Boonstroo, the Elm Creek Water Management Commission, or Hennepin County Human Services Department are handled and if these should be incorporated into the Resolution. Planner Gartner answered that the comments are put into the project file for bookkeeping purposes but they can be put into the resolution. Mayor Guenthner explained that the checklist, that is located in each project book, does contain the requirements given and once the applicant has complied with the requirement is checked off of the list. MOTION made by Thomas, seconded by Grabowski, to approve Resolution No. 2008 -07, A Resolution Approving the Final Plat for "Savoie Fields: on Property Located at 21801 Homestead Trail, with the addition of Condition 7, regarding the existing garage remaining but is at risk if the easement needs to be utilized. Attorney Langel is to provide language to be incorporated into the Resolution. Voting Aye: Grabowski, Guenthner, Hudok, Jacobs and Thomas (Motion carried 5:0) Kelly Farms Final Plat, Resolution No. 2008 -06 Planner Gartner presented that the applicant, Mr. Robert Kelly, is proposing a 2- lot subdivision on 35.33 acres. There is one existing home on the property. The property has a major wetland complex on the west side of it. This wetland blocks all access between the northern and southern upland areas and forces the property owner to gain access by leaving his property and utilizing Willow Drive. A new drainage and utility easement is being provided as part of the final plat. This will necessitate that the existing drainage easement created in 1988 on the westerly portion of the 35.33 acres be vacated. Since the 1988 survey does not indicate if the easement was donated to the public, it is recommended that the easement be vacated by the city and that the applicant also prepare and record a quit claim deed vacating the easement as part of the final plat recording process. The public hearing to vacate the easement will be held February 14, 2008. The final plat is in conformance to the requirements of the ordinance and is consistent with the Agenda Item 9a. Kelly West Oaks Farms Final Plat — Resolution No. 2008 -06 Page -5- CITY OF CORCORAN CITY COUNCIL MEETING January 24, 2008 previously approved preliminary plat. There was some discussion about there being zero building entitlements remaining for future development on Lots 1 and 2. Planner Gartner explained that until a paved road comes in there is to be zero building rights. This raised some concerns about having a platted lot, but not having any building entitlement rights. Planner Gartner explained that there is an existing building right on Lot 2, but there is to be no future building or creating of another lot until the road is paved. MOTION made by Thomas, seconded by Grabowski, to approve Resolution No. 2008 -06, A Resolution Approving the Final Plat for "Kelly's West Oaks" on Property Located at 6715 Willow Drive with the following modification: *Condition 1 should read that the application was received on January 23, 2008 *Condition 2 should read that Lot 2 is approved with one existing building entitlement right with zero building entitlement rights remaining for Lot 1. Voting Aye: Grabowski, Guenthner, Hudok, Jacobs and Thomas (Motion carried 5:0) Annual Ordinance Updates City Planner explained that at the last Planning Commission meeting he presented some ordinance updates. The Planning Commission is requesting information from the council on how much time they would like the Planning Commission and staff to spend on these updates. There was some discussion about how vague some of the ordinances are and the importance it is to have these ordinances detailed. It was suggested that during the update process there are changes made to the ordinances that are so vague and make them more specific. Agenda Item 9a. Annual Ordinance Updates It was suggested that the first step that the Planning Commission take is to evaluate the updates and determine the simple changes (i.e.: page number changes) versus the technical policy changes that need to be done. Comprehensive Plan Update Comprehensive Plan Update Councilor Jacobs presented a handout he had provided the Planning Commission for guidance during the Comprehensive Plan Update. There was some discussion about the Planning Commission reviewing the Comprehensive Plan to find areas that needed to be updated. A question was asked on the status of the review. Rosalyn Millbrandt, Chair of Planning Commission answered that they hope to have the review completed in February. Planner Gartner presented the proposed 2008 Comprehensive Plan Update Schedule. In the next 60 days the technical aspects of the comp plan will be looked at. After 60 days then the revisions will be drafted and the council will need to approve the proposed amendments, which requires a public hearing. After the council approves the 2008 draft then the six -month comment period for the draft Comprehensive Plan starts. After the six -month comment period the council reviews the comments and authorizes any changes to the draft of the Page -6- CITY OF CORCORAN CITY COUNCIL MEETING January 24, 2008 Comprehensive Plan. The council will approve the adoption of the final 2008 Comprehensive Plan on December 22, 2008 and the final 2008 Comprehensive Plan update will be delivered to the Metropolitan Council. The contents of the Comprehensive Plan being drafted through out a great length of time and the importance of the public and council reviewing the comp plan was discussed. The current schedule doesn't allow much time for a through review. It was noted that the public has had some opportunities to express their concerns, that involve the Comprehensive Plan, during different agenda item discussions and those should be on record and maybe looked up. Rosalyn Millbrandt, Planning Commission Chair explained that she doesn't feel the proposed schedule allows them enough time to review the plan. She suggested that the Planning Commission and Council have joint meetings to review and discuss changes to the Comprehensive Plan. Mayor Guenthner called additional joint meetings with the Planning Commission, Parks and Trails Commission and the Council on February 21 and March 20, 2008 starting at 7:00 pm to be held in the civic center to discuss the Comprehensive Plan Update. News & Environmental Info on Corcoran & Cost Growth Councilor Jacobs presented some informative handouts. There was a former simple City Land Use Plan, a page from the 1978 Crow River News on growth issues with the city, a copy from June 1996 of a story on the revenues versus expenses from three classes of land use, and a 1996 story on how land uses drive municipal costs. Planning Commission Minutes Agenda Item 9a. News & Environmental Info on Corcoran & Cost Growth Planning Commission Minutes Mayor Guenthner explained that due to the termination of the City Administrator there isn't anyone to take the minutes for the Planning Commission. It was suggested that the current minute taker be asked if she could transcribe the minutes of the Planning Commission. A suggestion was also made to have the City Planner take the minutes because he is already taking notes for his personal use and he could draft minutes from his notes. Council consensus is to have the meetings recorded and to have the current minute taker transcribe the minutes. UNFINISHED BUSINESS Unfinished Business: Boos Request for Refund Boos Request for Refund City Clerk Larson presented a letter that was drafted to Mr. John Boos regarding an Interim Use Permit that was issued for 19705 County Road 30. The city wasn't able to provide Mr. Boos with a full refund but it was determined that his application should have been processed as a "Special Home Occupation — Administrative Permit ". Therefore the City is able to reimburse him $420 from the original application fee along with the $500 additionally paid for the planning consultant, because the "Special Home Occupation — Administrative Permit" would have required less time to review and process. The city will issue Mr. Boos a check in the amount of $920. After some discussion council consensus was for staff to mail the letter out with no changes. Page -7- CITY OF CORCORAN CITY COUNCIL MEETING January 24, 2008 Co. Road 117, Resolution No. 2008 -08 Co. Road 17, Resolution No. 2008 -08 Agenda [tem 9a. Mayor Guenther explained that at the last Council Meeting the council requested that a resolution be drafted objecting to the County Road 117 extension. It was suggested to enhance the resolution by identifying the fact that the designation would conflict with a major arterial designation that the city had applied to Highway 30 in the Comprehensive Plan. It was also suggested that the wording in the resolution be changed to read "That it's an insufficient benefit to justify putting a severe burden on the residents." Planner Gartner presented the City Transportation Plan that was in the Comprehensive Plan. He explained that this plan doesn't differentiate between County Road 117 and Highway 30 as far as usage. The plan does show that Highway 30 and County Road 117 are classified as minor arterials, but it doesn't mean that the classifications can't be changed based on other needs. He suggested not approving the resolution because it conflicts with the comprehensive plan. He also suggested that the city write a letter to Hassan saying that the city is in the process of reviewing the Comprehensive Plan and the County Road Extension. This lead into a discussion about ways the city could get the message out and the importance of this message staying consistent. MOTION made by Thomas, seconded by Hudok to approve Resolution No. 2008- 08, A Resolution Objecting to the Extension of County Road 117 with the following modification: Should read — "Objects to the extension of County Road 117 as proposed, because of the burden to the residents of the City. It also conflicts with the City's Comprehensive Plan that identifies a preference for County Road 30 as a major thoroughfare and any extension of 117 to occur outside of the city and without a negative impact to the City." Voting Aye: Grabowski, Guenthner, Hudok, Jacobs and Thomas (Motion carried 5:0) 2008 Budget Draft Findings Mayor Guenthner explained the process that has been taken for staff to complete the 2008 budget. Staff has been able to limit the increase to 2.99 %. The main items that have changed are the deferral of hiring of police officers and a public works employee for the year 2008. There also were some major reductions in the maintenance budget lines, including ditching, culverts, gravel and seal coating. Staff was congratulated for achieving the 3% growth in the budget. Mayor Guenthner noted that the city's accounting software would not allow expenses to be entered until the 2008 budget if finalized. MOTION made by Grabowski, seconded by Hudok to approve the 2008 Budget line items as presented. There was some discussion about how the budget cuts are going to affect the city. There were some concerns about cutting the maintenance budget and how staff is 2008 Budget Draft Findings Page -8- CITY OF CORCORAN CITY COUNCIL MEETING January 24, 2008 supposed to keep up with the maintenance of the roads. This lead into a discussion about how throughout the year money set aside for a certain line item can be transferred to a different line item if needed. Pat Cook, Cain Road, expressed her concern with the amount of growth in the budget each year and she feels the money isn't being spent wisely. Mayor Guenthner noted that his vote to approve this is more for an affirmation of what staff has been asked to do, not that he necessarily agrees with the final outcome of the budget. Councilor Thomas explained that his vote to not approve the budget has nothing to do with what staff did, he feels staff did an excellent job with what they had to do, he stated he opposes to the whole outcome. VOTE ON MOTION: Aye: Grabowski, Guethner, Hudok and Jacobs Nay: Thomas (Motion carried 4:1) NEW BUSINESS Boonestroo — Second Generation Watershed Management Plan Amendments City Engineer Rhein explained that The Elm Creek Watershed Management Commission is proposing minor amendment to their Second Generation Watershed Management Plan. The purpose of the amendment is to increase the protection of the stream channels in Elm, Diamond, and Rush Creeks by providing a greater level of channel stability. This would be accomplished through the incorporation of additional storm water rate control standards. Under the proposed amendment the rate control standards will be made more restrictive. This requirement seeks to reduce the ponded discharge rate for specified small storm event and extended the duration of discharge for this rate. The intent is to reduce the frequency of "bank full" stream flows. Boonestroo has reviewed the information on the proposed amendment and reviewed the impact of the proposed amendment on recent developments within the city. Based on their review Boonestroo find the proposed amendment to be reasonable and consistent with actions being taken by other watershed management agencies. A public hearing on the proposed amendment is to be held at the February 12, 2008 meeting of the Elm Creek Watershed Management Commissioners. The city needs to provide notice to Elm Creek Watershed Management Commission on whether they object or approve of this amendment. Council consensus was that they have no objection to this amendment and directed staff to prepare the written response. City Interim Information Mayor Guenthner explained that the City Clerk was directed to contact the League of MN Cities and get some information on available Interim City Administrators. Staff has received a total of 6 resumes for the Interim City Administrator position. Mayor Guenthner explained that he has spent many hours at city hall since the termination of the City Administrator and there is a great need to get someone into city hall as soon as possible because things need to be dealt with and everything is starting to pile up.
