CC City Council, Planning Commission, Parks & Trails Commission
FROM Kendra Lindahl, City Planner
RE Active Corcoran Planning Applications
The following is a summary of project status for current, active projects:
1. Peachtree Partners LLC request for PUD Sketch Plan, Comprehensive Plan Amendment and
EAW for Schendel property at 20400 County Road 10 (City file 14 -005). The sketch plan and
comprehensive plan request was reviewed by Parks Commission on March 18th and Planning
Commission on March 6th. On June 12th, the City Council approved the Comprehensive Plan
amendment. The Met Council completed their review and acted on the request at their August 27th
meeting. The applicant has submitted a voluntary EAW and it has been distributed for public
comment. The Public Comment Period ends on October 29th. We will bring the EAW to the
November 13th Council meeting for action.
2. City- Initiated Park Dedication Ordinance Update (City File 14 -007). At the April 10th meeting, the
City Council directed staff to prepare a minor update to the park dedication ordinance as outlined in
the staff memo. Staff provided a draft to the City Council for review at the June 26th meeting and,
based on Council feedback has met with Councilmember Cossette to gather his comments. These
comments will require significantly more research and analysis than originally anticipated and will not
be ready for a public hearing until this fall. The City Attorney and City Planner agree that since the
primary concern in is with the land dedication requirements in the rural areas, we will focus on
solutions that are legally defensible and accomplish the City Council goals. We agree that a
moratorium (or interim ordinance) is not needed at this time. Should a rural subdivision be submitted,
we recommend that the City Council simply take cash in lieu of land while the new ordinance is being
developed. There are no current applications in the pipeline that will be affected by the rural area
change and we have several full agendas coming up. We are working with the City Administrator to
identify a date for an update to the City Council.
3. Administrative Permit and Site Plan to add antennas and modify ground equipment on an
existing tower for AT &T antenna at 20140 CR 30 (PID 11- 119 -23 -12 -0001) (city file 14 -019). This
applicant may be administratively approved. The application is currently incomplete.
4. Agriculture Preserve Initiation and Expiration for John and Staci Scherber on PID 08- 119- 23 -31-
0004 (city file 14 -026). This applicant is incomplete but is tentatively scheduled for the November 13,
2014 Council meeting.
5. Sawgrass Preliminary Plat, Preliminary PUD Development Plan and Rezoning for Peachtree
Partners LLC on Schendel property at 20400 County Road 10 (City file 14 -027). The City
received the application materials and is currently reviewing for completeness. The tentative review
schedule is November 18th Parks and Trails Commission review, December 4th Planning Commission
Pubic Hearing and December 11th City Council action.

Also, there are a number of projects that have been approved, but are still not filed and closed out:
1. Corcoran Business Park (city file 06 -005). The City Council granted a one year extension to the
final plat approval, which expired on April 12, 2011. Staff has spoken to the applicant and is still
working to close out this project. Notably, we met with the land owner in February and may have a
new development application for this site later this year. Recent calls to the property owner regarding
the project status have not been returned.
2. Hope Ministries Conditional Use Permit for Cemetery and Vacation of Drainage & Utility
Easement at 19951 Oswald Farm Road (city file 12 -002). Hope Ministries submitted a request for a
conditional use permit to allow a cemetery west of the existing church. The application was approved
by the City Council on March 22nd and site work had begun. The letter of credit for site improvements
has been released but we are holding the escrow pending completion of the approved landscaping.
The applicant has indicated that they are considering a site plan amendment application to modify the
approved plans. Staff will reach out again in an effort to close out this file.
3. Heinz Second Addition Preliminary and Final Plat at 20801 CR 117 (03- 119 -23 -14 -0002) (City file
13 -003). A wetland and topographic waiver was approved on January 24th. This item was approved
by the City Council action on April 25th. The applicant is working on complying with approval
conditions so that they can get the final plat mylar signed and recorded. The applicant has site work
to complete and then the escrow can be refunded.
4. Ess Addition (city files 05 -017, 08 -003 and 12 -024). The City Council granted an after - the -fact
extension for this final plat at their November 29, 2012 meeting and a second extension at the
November 25, 2013 meeting. The plat has been recorded and staff is working with the applicant to
address any outstanding issues and close out the file /refund the escrow after wetland monuments and
lot monuments are installed.
5. Lano Equipment at 23580 Highway 55 Site Plan Modifications for Cold Storage Building. (31-
119 -23 -34 -0007) (13 -006). This item was approved by the City Council on July 11th. The building
permit has been issued, but staff has determined that the building was not being built according the
approved plans. The applicant submitted revised plans and the City Council approved a site plan
modification at the June 12th meeting. City staff is working with them to make the corrections and
complete the building and site improvements.
6. Ess Brothers Site Plan Amendment and Conditional Use Permit Amendment for an accessory
building at 9350 County Road (PID # 07- 119 -23 -43 -0004) (City File No. 13 -031) The applicant
requested approval of a 5,500 square feet detached, accessory building with 20 -foot sidewalls. The
City Council approved this item on January 23rd. The applicant must now file the resolution at the
County and then staff will close out the file and refund any remaining escrow. The applicant may
apply for a building permit after the resolution is recorded.
7. Maple Hill Estates 3rd Addition Preliminary and Final Plat (PID 24- 119 -23 -43 -0016 and 24- 119 -23-
43 -0014) (city file 14 -001). A site plan and variance was approved on April 25, 2013 for this project,
but it was then determined that the new community center should be located on City property. The
plat was required to adjust property lines. The City Council approved the preliminary and final plat on
March 27th. The mylars were recorded this month and construction has begun. We will be monitoring
this throughout construction and due to the financial relationship between the city and the applicant,
we will not close out this file until construction is complete.
8. Lennar Final Plat, Vacation, Development Contract and Final PUD Development Plan for
"Ravinia" (City file 14 -003). The applications were approved at the April 24th City Council meeting.
Staff is now working through the final plan revisions with the applicant. The development contract has
been signed, the financial guarantee submitted and the final details are being addressed. An
expanded grading plan was approved by the City Council on September 11th and infrastructure work
may be beginning this week if the city planner is able to confirm certain conditions have been met.
There are still a number of approval conditions that must be addressed prior to release of the final plat
mylar for recording. No building can begin until the mylar is recorded at Hennepin County.

and wetland delineation waiver to allow him to subdivide his property to split off a lot for the existing
home built for a farmhand from the principal farmstead and farm land. The City Council reviewed this
item on September 25, 2014 and approved the waivers. The next step would be to submit a plat and
variance application.
17. Administrative Permit for a Sprint Antenna replacement at 23400 CR 10 (PID 07- 119 -23 -43 -0004)
(city file 14 -025). An administrative permit was received to upgrade the antennas on this existing
tower. The application was administratively approved.
Finally, there are a few projects that have not yet been started but have been identified as action items or
future projects:
1. Sign Ordinance Update. At the April 25th Council meeting, the City reviewed a request for the city to
initiate a sign ordinance update. Specifically, they requested that the City review the ordinance
standards relating to sign area, sign height and internal illumination and, because this is a city -wide
issue, that the ordinance update be completed by the City out of the City funds. The Council
discussed the issue and directed staff to bring a proposal back at a later date because the Council felt
that this was a significant undertaking that would involve much more than this one issue. We will work
with the City Administrator to determine the appropriate meeting to have this considered.
2. Design Guideline Update for Southeast District /Downtown. The Council approved a Landform
proposal to update the existing design guidelines for this area. The design guidelines are adopted as
part of the Zoning Ordinance and will be enforced as new development is proposed, consequently, the
MEMORANDUM 3
City Council wishes to revisit that planning effort to ensure it is still consistent with the City's goals.
The City Council appointed a subcommittee, but the City Council has decided to delay kickoff as we
work through some associated issues as part of some new development plans. The subcommittee
has been disbanded and the Council will reconsider this project in 2015.

Re: Park Planning — Roehlke Property
At the September Parks and Trails Commission meeting, the planning process for a
possible athletic complex on the Roehlke property was discussed. The commission

agreed that a ranking exercise take place among the commission. The last document
attached to this memo is a document that includes a number of amenities possible for
such a site. It is asked that each commission member rank their 10 most important
amenities for the site and be prepared to share this information at the meeting.

Need /Timing Conclusions
• The RSD /Corcoran combined park area can just support current
activities
• Except for Friday evenings the RSD /Corcoran combined park area
was fully utilized from 4/23 to 7/9 of 2006
• Corcoran property alone will not support current CAA & soccer
programs
• Corcoran use of RSD property could be jeopardized by 2010 -2015 if
sewer is phased according to plan
• According to Comp Plan population projections RSD /Corcoran
combined property will be 100% utilized in 1.5 years
• According to revised 2010 population projection it will take 7 years
for the combined property to reach 100% utilization

Space Requirements Conclusions
• 38.6 acres is just enough space to support current activities
• Foreseeable long -range uses would require approximately 70 acres
of non - wetland park area
• Accommodations for Lions Park /Hennepin County Fairgrounds
would require an additional 35 acres
23
Summary of Conclusions
• Population projections indicate that additional park space must be
available for use by 2006 -2013 (could be at a temporary location)
• Long -range foreseeable uses require a minimum total area of 70
acres (Natural areas and Lions Park not included)
• A long -range plan must be implemented before:
— Growth of park programs exceeds capacity available at current
site plus other undetermined temporary locations
— RSD property becomes unavailable for Corcoran use
— Suitable properties within the City become unavailable or
unaffordable
24
Recommendations
• Make additional space available no later than summer of 2010 (This
could be a temporary solution or part of the long -term solution)
• By 4/1/07 release a RFP for a feasibility study to define a solution to
the long -range needs. Study would estimate park development
costs, suggest financing scenarios, estimate space requirements,
project utilization over time, layout some typical design concepts,
etc.
• Direct this committee to continue researching suitable properties.
Property candidates will be included as part of feasibility study.
• Approve a plan for a long -term solution by the end of 2007 including
a property acquisition strategy and a list of suitable properties
• Dedicate proceeds from development of the current park site for
park use

Appendix A.
Size and Configuration of Sports Fields
The size and configuration of a site and any accessible adjacent properties can have a major impact on
the kinds of recreational use it can support. For example, a large, regularly shaped site may be well
suited for a multiple athletic field complex (e.g., soccer or baseball). A smaller, irregularly shaped site
may not be able to support this level of development and may be better used for smaller athletic fields
or courts (e.g., basketball or tennis courts). In addition to the area requirements for the selected
recreational activity, space may be needed for supporting facilities such as parking lots, concession
stands, spectator areas, and storage buildings. At multiple athletic field complexes, space also may be
needed for buffer zones between fields, drainage features, access areas and adjacent properties.
Exhibit A -1 provides standard field dimensions
and acreage for common athletic fields. The area
required for most playing fields ranges from
approximately 0.05 acres (a volleyball court) to
three acres (an adult level baseball field).
However, recreational facilities consist of more
than just a playing field. When estimating the area
needs for a recreational facility, the size of the fields
and the space requirements for supporting features
or areas, such as those listed below, need to be
considered.

C Storage facilities

Soccer and Other Athletic Fields
Many large athletic fields can be used for multiple purposes and sports due to their similar sizes and
dimensions. Exhibit A -5 provides the field dimensions of typical sports fields. Football and soccer are
two of the most popular sports and their field sizes are quite compatible for dual use. Typical football
and soccer fields layouts are provided as Exhibits A -6 and A -7. As noted earlier, the age and level of
play is one factor to consider when determining the appropriate field size.

Soccer fields vary greatly in size depending on the age and level of play. As shown in Exhibit
A -8, a field for players age six and under is approximately 0.12 acres in area while a field for adults can
require nearly two acres. Additional area is also required for spectator areas, bad shots and errant
passes. An adult soccer field with supporting areas may need up to three acres of land.

Sand Volleyball Court
A standard volley ball court is 29.5 feet by 59 feet, the sand area is 49 feet by 78.5 feet, and a 12 feet
wide zone beyond the sand is typically allowed around the court for players to pursue the ball. The
total required area is approximately 0.2 acres. Although sand thickness varies, a layer between 2 and
3.5 feet thick is preferred. Refer to Exhibit A -9 for a diagram of a typical volleyball court.
