Lake Independence Regional Trailhead at 23475 CR 10 Rezoning, Site Plan and Variance (PID 18- 119 -23 -12 -0002) (city file 14 -010) i. Staff Report — City Planner Lindahl presented her staff report ii. The Commission asked questions and discussed the snowmobile trail reroute. Mr. Bowe, Three Rivers Park District (TRPD), stated that the trail was moved to cross the gravel parking lot, rather than the paved trail. Mr. Bowe also stated that the trailhead would not be maintained or plowed in the winter and the CXT bathroom would be locked; the date of closure and opening would be dependent on weather. The commission inquired about the number of parking stalls. Mr. Bowe stated that TRPD determined they would need 6 -8, but planned for 10. The commission asked for maintenance clarification. The facility would be maintained by TRPD twice weekly. It was questioned whether or not trash facilities would be provided. Mr. Bowe stated they were not planned to be provided. In discussing the parking lot, it was stated by Mr. Bowe that the entrance is located as far to the east as it could be and the gravel lot would be striped initially, but not restriped. TRPD stated that many of the anticipated users would be repeat users, and the ADA parking stall would be permanently striped and this would direct parking for the rest of the lot. The commission asked who would monitor the site. It was determined that the site would be policed by TRPD. The Corcoran Police Department is aware of the project and will be coordinating directly with the Park Police. The commission asked if the trailhead could be permanent. Staff stated that it is possible, but the application was for a temporary facility and that the facility would most likely become part of a larger facility in the future. iii. Open Public Hearing — Chair Jacobs opened the public hearing. (7:31 pm) iv. Public Comment — Trish Krueger, Parks and Trails Commission, shared that the commission were very happy with the trailhead project and in fact had previous discussions to acquire the property for a city -owned park facility. Tom Cossette, 9200 Shannon Lane, inquired about tree removal and its necessity. He stated that two trees shown to be removed should remain. Mr. Bowes stated that the removal is to accommodate the snowmobile trail and possibly because the trees were damaged, diseased, or dead. The snowmobile trail is located to avoid both right -of -way and existing electrical poles and guy wires. The commission discussed screening to the East; staff determined that the proposed screening was sufficient. V. Close Hearing Motion made by Theis seconded by Wu to close the public hearing. Voting Aye: Jacobs, Ravnholdt, Krueger, Wu, Theis, and Schultz. (Motion carried: 6:0) (7:41 pm) vi. Commission Discussion & Recommendation — The commission continued discussions regarding trash facilities and refuse containers; staff proposed resolution condition revisions to include the requirement of trash facilities and a urinal in the restroom. The commission continued discussions regarding screening to County Road 19 and tree removal. The commission felt that they did not have adequate information to address the tree removal plan and the applicant agreed to provide additional information to staff in advance of the council meeting for council consideration. Motion made by Ravnholdt seconded by Theis to recommend approval of the Ordinance Amendment as presented. Voting Aye: Jacobs, Ravnholdt, Krueger, Wu, Theis, and Schultz. (Motion carried: 6:0) Motion made by Krueger seconded by Ravnholdt to recommend approval of the Findings of Fact for Rezoning as presented.

F 0 R M 9 s Tel: 612- 252 -9070 Fax: 612 - 252 -9077 www.landform.net DATE: August 25, 2014 for the September 4, 2014 Planning Commission Meeting RE: PUBLIC HEARING. Preliminary plat for "Patnode Farms" on property at 22610 County Road 50 (PID #20- 119 -23 -43 -0003) (city file no. 14 -021) 120- DAY REVIEW DEADLINE: November 13, 2014 1. Application Request Michael L. Patnode is requesting approval of a preliminary and final plat to create a 10 -acre lot and a 68.33 acre outlot. There is an existing house on the proposed lot. 2. Context Background On July 24, 2014, the City approved a topography waiver for the entire site. A wetland delineation waiver was approved for proposed Outlot A. A wetland delineation was required for the wetlands in proposed Lot 1, Block 1. Zoning and Land Use The subject property is guided Rural / Ag Residential in the 2030 Future Land Use Plan and zoned Rural Residential. The surrounding properties are all zoned Rural Residential and guided Rural / Ag Residential. Natural Characteristics of the Site The 2030 Comprehensive Plan shows a wetland in the northeast corner of proposed Outlot A and proposed Lot 1, Block 1. In addition to this wetland, the National Wetlands Survey shows a wetland generally on the western part of the site. No new development is proposed on either parcel. Parks and Trails The Parks and Trails Map from 2030 Comprehensive Plan shows a proposed on -road trail along County Road 50. Landform ®, SensiblyGreen® and Site to Finish® are registered service marks of Landform Professional Services, LLC. 0 Access 0 Proposed Lot 1, Block 1 will be accessed by an existing drive. Proposed Outlot A will continue to be used as farmland, and will be accessed by neighboring farm lots. The future owners of the land are planning on enrolling proposed Outlot A in the Agricultural Preserve program. 3. Analysis Staff has reviewed the application for consistency with the Comprehensive Plan, Zoning Ordinance, Subdivision Ordinance, and City Code requirements, as well as City policies. A. Level of City Discretion in Decision - Making The City's discretion in approving a preliminary and final plat is limited to whether or not the proposed plat meets the standards outlined in the City's subdivision ordinance and zoning ordinance. If it meets these standards, the City must approve the final plat. B. Consistency with Ordinance Standards Lot Size The plat would create one 10 -acre lot for the existing home and one 68.33 acre outlot for the existing farmland. These lot sizes exceed the RR district minimum of lot size of 2 acres. The staff report for city file 14 -014 (request for topographic and wetland waiver), notes that the proposed plan shows the outlot wrapping around proposed Lot 1, Block 1. The eastern strip meets the 200 foot minimum width requirement of Section 1040.030 (Standards for Rural Residential districts) however, it is covered by a wetland. This wetland will restrict future access to the site, and provides no benefit to Outlot A. Staff recommended including this strip as part of Lot 1, Block 1, however, the applicant chose to keep the existing layout. Staff notes that when Outlot A is developed the city will expect 1 public street access on the western portion of the lot to serve the homes. Well and Septic The existing farmstead's well and septic on proposed Lot 1, Block 1 will remain. No well and septic will be required for proposed Outlot A. Streets No new streets are proposed. The preliminary plat submitted by the applicant shows a 33 -foot right - of -way for County Road 50, which is not sufficient right -of -way for the future pedestrian and bicycle trail that is shown in Corcoran's 2030 Comprehensive Plan. Patnode Farms Preliminary Plat (city file 14 -021) September 4, 2014 0 C As required by state law, the City submitted the proposed plat to Hennepin County for review. Hennepin County Transportation Department reviewed the proposed plat on August 21, 2014. Hennepin County noted that County Road 50 is designated in the Hennepin County Bicycle System Plan as a future on -road facility. To provide space for future pedestrian / bicycle accommodations, they recommend an additional 17 feet of right of way to provide a total of 50 feet of half right of way Staff has included a condition requiring the applicant to update the plat to show a 50- foot' /2 right -of- way for County Road 50. The County notes that any proposed construction requires an approved Hennepin County Permit prior to any construction, however no new construction is proposed. Public Safety Review Plans were sent to the fire department on July 31, 2014. There were no comments from the Fire Chief and Fire Marshal regarding public safety as of the date of this report. Natural Characteristics of the Site While no new development is proposed on the proposed lot and outlot, plans should show the existing trees on site. Staff has included a condition that plans be revised to show the existing tree line. Wetlands The Corcoran Natural Resources Inventory Areas Map shows that Lot 1, Block 1 has wet prairie on the northeast corner of the proposed parcel and the National Wetlands Survey shows a wetland on the western edge of the proposed parcel. A wetland delineation was completed on the wetlands in proposed Lot 1, Block 1. The wetland delineation was submitted to the Elm Creek Watershed Management Commission ( ECWMC) for review and approval. The ECWMC approved the delineation on August 5, 2014. Wetland buffers, setbacks, and markers will need to be shown on the plans in accordance with Section 1050.010 of the Zoning Ordinance. Wetland buffer requirements vary based on the quality of the wetland. The applicant must complete a Minnesota Rapid Assessment Method for Evaluating Wetland Functions (MNRAM), which will determine the average width of the buffer around the wetland according to the standards in Section 1050.010. Buffers, setbacks, and monuments are required to be installed when the property is platted. Staff has included a condition that the plans be revised to show the wetland buffer and setbacks. Wetland buffer monuments must installed prior to release of the escrow. Section 1050.10, Subd. 5 requires that buffers around wetlands are planted with vegetation in accordance with Section 1050.10, Subd. 8, Buffer Strip Vegetation Performance Standards. Staff has included a condition that will require the applicant to comply with these standards. Patnode Farms Preliminary Plat (city file 14 -021) September 4, 2014 ! ! Drainage and Utility Easements Section 945.060, Subd. 2 of the Subdivision Ordinance requires 10 -foot drainage and utility easements around the perimeter of the lot. The plans comply with these requirements. Plans should locate any known drain tiles located on property. Staff has included a condition that the plans be updated to show any known drain tiles. Parks and Trails Staff notes that Section 955.020 of the Subdivision Ordinance states "Park Dedication is only due in cases where additional new parcels are created." The subdivision will create one new lot for the existing home and one vacant outlot. At this time, park dedication is required only for the new 10.0 - acre lot, as no previous park dedication has been provided for this parcel. This is consistent with the ordinance application for Triden Ridge 2nd Addition. Under the current ordinance, park dedication is required at 10% of the net land area. The City may accept cash -in -lieu of land at 10% of the value of the land with a maximum rate of $3,000 per unit for each new unit located outside of the MUSA (Metropolitan Urban Service Area), such as this. Cash in lieu of land would be $3,000 at the current rates (1 x $3,000 per unit). The Parks & Trails Plan in the 2030 Comprehensive Plan shows a future on -road trail in the County Road 50 right -of -way. The trail will be constructed in the County Road 50 right -of -way. No land beyond the required 50 foot 1/2 right -of -way as described in the Hennepin County Transportation letter is required for this future trail. Final Plat The applicant has also requested approval of a final plat. The final plat requires action by the City Council only and will be reviewed at the September 251h Council meeting. C. Conclusions Staff has reviewed the preliminary plat for consistency with the applicable standards outlined in the Comprehensive Plan, Zoning Ordinance and Subdivision Ordinance. Staff noted in the staff report the outstanding issues that must be addressed and have included conditions in the attached draft resolutions to address these issues.

A preliminary and final plat for Patnode Farms was received by Hennepin County on July 31, 2014. No additional development is currently proposed. The plat involves a lot split to designate 10 acres for a residential use and the remaining land as an Agricultural Preserve. Based on our review, the following comments are provided: Access — No change in access on CSAH 50 is proposed with the plat, therefore, we have no comments on this item. Right -of -Way — This section of CSAH 50 is currently a two -lane rural roadway with minimal shoulders, which we anticipate will remain for the forseeable future. The current half right of way for CSAH 50 along the property is 33 feet (centerline to property line). This roadway is designated in the Hennepin County Bicycle System Plan as a future on -road facility. To provide space for future pedestrian/bicycle accommodations, 17 additional feet of right of way is recommended, to provide 50 feet of half right of way. This is consistent with the right of way or trail /utility easement provided on the south side of CSAH 50 in addition to the right of way provided for the MTP West Acres plat to the west on CSAH 50. Permits — Please inform the developer that all proposed construction within county right -of -way requires an approved Hennepin County permit prior to beginning construction. This includes, but is not limited to driveway and street access, drainage and utility construction, trail development, and landscaping. Permit questions can be directed to Steve Groen at (612) 596 -0337 or steven.mroenAhennepin. us. Please contact Bob Byers (612) 596 -0354, robertbver.Wennepin.us or Carla Stueve (612) 596 -0356, carta.stueve(a- )hennepin.us for any further discussion of these items.

City- Initiated Ordinance Amendment regarding Sketch Plan Requirements (city file 14 -009) 60 -DAY REVIEW DEADLINE: N/A Application Request The City Council directed staff to prepare revisions to the zoning ordinance regarding sketch plans. Specifically, the Council directed staff to simplify the sketch plan process and send them directly to the City Council with minimum submittal requirements to allow council review prior to the applicant investing significant time and money. At the June 26, 2014 City Council meeting, the Council reviewed the draft language and directed staff to hold a public hearing to consider the changes. 2. Proposed Language The current Corcoran Zoning Ordinance requires a PUD sketch plan to be presented to the Planning Commission and City Council and allows the same process as an option for other applications. The City Council felt that applicants should present these concepts to the City Council first to gather high level feedback on the policy issues rather than some of the more detailed planning issues. Staff was directed to revise the ordinance to send sketch plans to the City Council only. Staff is also recommending some changes for consistency between the Sketch Plan and PUD Sketch Plan processes. Based on the Council feedback, staff recommends the following changes to Section 1040.140, Subd. 6 of the PUD ordinance as shown below by deleting the stFiekeR material and adding the underlined material as follows: Subd. 6.

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.

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. 2. City- Initiated Ordinance Update for Sketch Plans (City file 14 -009).

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. 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 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. We expect to convene this subcommittee later this year. MEMORANDUM 7b.
