FROM: Dawn Speltz

RE: E-Charging JPA & Court Services Amendment Renewal
DATE: 2/17/2017
Dear Brad and Jessica,
Approximately 5 years ago a joint initiative was launched between the Bureau of Criminal
Apprehension (BCA), State Court Administration, prosecuting attorneys, and police departments
to establish a system of electronic charging (e-charging) for criminal offenses. The e-charging
process allows cases to be submitted electronically by police departments to the prosecuting
agency (our offices) for review and consideration of charges. Upon charging, the case is then
sent electronically back to the police department for approval and then submitted to the court for
entry. The Bureau of Criminal Apprehension (BCA) provides the computer network to facilitate
this process. Access to this network is granted through the execution of a Joint Powers
Agreement. Statutorily there are presently Joint Powers Agreements in place between the City on
behalf of the city attorney and the police department which are now set to expire. Minnesota
Statutes restrict the duration of Joint Powers Agreements to 5 year terms and therefore we will be
required to sign new Joint Powers Agreements on a 5 year cycle.
We have prepared a proposed resolution approving the continuation of the Joint Powers
Agreements for the Council’s consideration and approval. I am requesting that the attached
resolution be approved by the City Council and that the Mayor and City Clerk sign the attached
agreements. There are four agreements—two master JPAs and two Court Amendment
Agreements. One set is for our office as the Prosecuting Attorney and the other is on behalf of
the Police Department. While these documents look similar in form, please note that they are
separate agreements on behalf of the Police Department and the Prosecuting Attorney. We ask
that this be put on the agenda for a February meeting as the current Joint Powers Agreements
will be expiring soon. If you have any questions or concerns about this please do not hesitate to
let either myself or John Thames from my office know and we will be happy to answer any
questions. Thank you for your attention to this matter.
Sincerely,
Dawn Speltz

STATE OF MINNESOTA
JOINT POWERS AGREEMENT
AUTHORIZED AGENCY
This agreement is between the State of Minnesota, acting through its Department of Public Safety, Bureau of Criminal
Apprehension ("BCA") and the City of Corcoran on behalf of its Police Department ("Agency").
Recitals
Under Minn. Stat. § 471.59, the BCA and the Agency are empowered to engage in those agreements that are necessary to
exercise their powers. Under Minn. Stat. § 299C.46 the BCA must provide a criminal justice data communications
network to benefit authorized agencies in Minnesota. The Agency is authorized by law to utilize the criminal justice data
communications network pursuant to the terms set out in this agreement. In addition, BCA either maintains repositories
of data or has access to repositories of data that benefit authorized agencies in performing their duties. Agency wants to
access these data in support of its official duties.
The purpose of this Agreement is to create a method by which the Agency has access to those systems and tools for which
it has eligibility, and to memorialize the requirements to obtain access and the limitations on the access.
Agreement
1 Term of Agreement
1.1 Effective date: This Agreement is effective on the date the BCA obtains all required signatures under Minn.
Stat. § 16C.05, subdivision 2.
1.2 Expiration date: This Agreement expires five years from the date it is effective.
2 Agreement between the Parties
2.1 General access. BCA agrees to provide Agency with access to the Minnesota Criminal Justice Data
Communications Network (CJDN) and those systems and tools which the Agency is authorized by law to access via
the CJDN for the purposes outlined in Minn. Stat. § 299C.46.
2.2 Methods of access.
The BCA offers three (3) methods of access to its systems and tools. The methods of access are:
A. Direct access occurs when individual users at the Agency use Agency’s equipment to access the BCA’s
systems and tools. This is generally accomplished by an individual user entering a query into one of BCA’s
systems or tools.
B. Indirect access occurs when individual users at the Agency go to another Agency to obtain data and
information from BCA’s systems and tools. This method of access generally results in the Agency with indirect
access obtaining the needed data and information in a physical format like a paper report.
C. Computer-to-computer system interface occurs when Agency’s computer exchanges data and information
with BCA’s computer systems and tools using an interface. Without limitation, interface types include: state
message switch, web services, enterprise service bus and message queuing.
For purposes of this Agreement, Agency employees or contractors may use any of these methods to use BCA’s
systems and tools as described in this Agreement. Agency will select a method of access and can change the
methodology following the process in Clause 2.10.
2.3 Federal systems access. In addition, pursuant to 28 CFR §20.30-38 and Minn. Stat. §299C.58, BCA may provide
Agency with access to the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) National Crime Information Center.
SWIFT Contract # 108225
MN0273100
2
2.4 Agency policies. Both the BCA and the FBI’s Criminal Justice Information Systems (FBI-CJIS) have policies,
regulations and laws on access, use, audit, dissemination, hit confirmation, logging, quality assurance, screening (pre-
employment), security, timeliness, training, use of the system, and validation. Agency has created its own policies to
ensure that Agency’s employees and contractors comply with all applicable requirements. Agency ensures this
compliance through appropriate enforcement. These BCA and FBI-CJIS policies and regulations, as amended and
updated from time to time, are incorporated into this Agreement by reference. The policies are available at
https://app.dps.mn.gov/cjdn.
2.5 Agency resources. To assist Agency in complying with the federal and state requirements on access to and use of
the various systems and tools, information is available at https://sps.x.state.mn.us/sites/bcaservicecatalog/default.aspx.
Additional information on appropriate use is found in the Minnesota Bureau of Criminal Apprehension Policy on
Appropriate Use of Systems and Data available at https://dps.mn.gov/divisions/bca/bca-
divisions/mnjis/Documents/BCA-Policy-on-Appropriate-Use-of-Systems-and-Data.pdf.
2.6 Access granted.
A. Agency is granted permission to use all current and future BCA systems and tools for which Agency is
eligible. Eligibility is dependent on Agency (i) satisfying all applicable federal or state statutory requirements; (ii)
complying with the terms of this Agreement; and (iii) acceptance by BCA of Agency’s written request for use of a
specific system or tool.
B. To facilitate changes in systems and tools, Agency grants its Authorized Representative authority to make
written requests for those systems and tools provided by BCA that the Agency needs to meet its criminal justice
obligations and for which Agency is eligible.
2.7 Future access. On written request by Agency, BCA also may provide Agency with access to those systems or
tools which may become available after the signing of this Agreement, to the extent that the access is authorized by
applicable state and federal law. Agency agrees to be bound by the terms and conditions contained in this Agreement
that when utilizing new systems or tools provided under this Agreement.
2.8 Limitations on access. BCA agrees that it will comply with applicable state and federal laws when making
information accessible. Agency agrees that it will comply with applicable state and federal laws when accessing,
entering, using, disseminating, and storing data. Each party is responsible for its own compliance with the most
current applicable state and federal laws.
2.9 Supersedes prior agreements. This Agreement supersedes any and all prior agreements between the BCA and
the Agency regarding access to and use of systems and tools provided by BCA.
2.10 Requirement to update information. The parties agree that if there is a change to any of the information
whether required by law or this Agreement, the party will send the new information to the other party in writing
within 30 days of the change. This clause does not apply to changes in systems or tools provided under this
Agreement.
This requirement to give notice additionally applies to changes in the individual or organization serving a city as its
prosecutor. Any change in performance of the prosecutorial function must be provided to the BCA in writing by
giving notice to the Service Desk, BCA.ServiceDesk@state.mn.us.
2.11 Transaction record. The BCA creates and maintains a transaction record for each exchange of data utilizing its
systems and tools. In order to meet FBI-CJIS requirements and to perform the audits described in Clause 7, there
must be a method of identifying which individual users at the Agency conducted a particular transaction.
If Agency uses either direct access as described in Clause 2.2A or indirect access as described in Clause 2.2B, BCA’s
transaction record meets FBI-CJIS requirements.
When Agency’s method of access is a computer to computer interface as described in Clause 2.2C, the Agency must
SWIFT Contract # 108225
MN0273100
3
keep a transaction record sufficient to satisfy FBI-CJIS requirements and permit the audits described in Clause 7 to
occur.
If an Agency accesses data from the Driver and Vehicle Services Division in the Minnesota Department of Public
Safety and keeps a copy of the data, Agency must have a transaction record of all subsequent access to the data that
are kept by the Agency. The transaction record must include the individual user who requested access, and the date,
time and content of the request. The transaction record must also include the date, time and content of the response
along with the destination to which the data were sent. The transaction record must be maintained for a minimum of
six (6) years from the date the transaction occurred and must be made available to the BCA within one (1) business
day of the BCA’s request.
2.12 Court information access. Certain BCA systems and tools that include access to and/or submission of Court
Records may only be utilized by the Agency if the Agency completes the Court Data Services Subscriber
Amendment, which upon execution will be incorporated into this Agreement by reference. These BCA systems and
tools are identified in the written request made by Agency under Clause 2.6 above. The Court Data Services
Subscriber Amendment provides important additional terms, including but not limited to privacy (see Clause 8.2,
below), fees (see Clause 3 below), and transaction records or logs, that govern Agency’s access to and/or submission
of the Court Records delivered through the BCA systems and tools.
2.13 Vendor personnel screening. The BCA will conduct all vendor personnel screening on behalf of Agency as is
required by the FBI CJIS Security Policy. The BCA will maintain records of the federal, fingerprint-based
background check on each vendor employee as well as records of the completion of the security awareness training
that may be relied on by the Agency.
3 Payment
The Agency agrees to pay BCA for access to the criminal justice data communications network described in Minn.
Stat. § 299C.46 as specified in this Agreement. The bills are sent annually for the amount of One Hundred Eighty
Dollars ($180.00).
Agency will identify its contact person for billing purposes, and will provide updated information to BCA’s
Authorized Representative within ten business days when this information changes.

Amendment. None of these provisions alter the Agency’s internal discipline processes, including those governed by a
collective bargaining agreement.
9.2.1 For BCA systems and tools that are not covered by the Court Data Services Subscriber Amendment, Agency
must determine if and when an involved Individual User’s access to systems or tools is to be temporarily or
permanently eliminated. The decision to suspend or terminate access may be made as soon as alleged violation is
discovered, after notice of an alleged violation is received, or after an investigation has occurred. Agency must report
the status of the Individual User’s access to BCA without delay. BCA reserves the right to make a different
determination concerning an Individual User’s access to systems or tools than that made by Agency and BCA’s
determination controls.
9.2.2 If BCA determines that Agency has jeopardized the integrity of the systems or tools covered in this Clause 9.2,
BCA may temporarily stop providing some or all the systems or tools under this Agreement until the failure is
remedied to the BCA’s satisfaction. If Agency’s failure is continuing or repeated, Clause 11.1 does not apply and
BCA may terminate this Agreement immediately.
9.3 Sanctions Involving Only Court Data Services
The following provisions apply to those systems and tools covered by the Court Data Services Subscriber
Amendment, if it has been signed by Agency. As part of the agreement between the Court and the BCA for the
delivery of the systems and tools that are covered by the Court Data Services Subscriber Amendment, BCA is
required to suspend or terminate access to or use of the systems and tools either on its own initiative or when directed
by the Court. The decision to suspend or terminate access may be made as soon as an alleged violation is discovered,
after notice of an alleged violation is received, or after an investigation has occurred. The decision to suspend or
terminate may also be made based on a request from the Authorized Representative of Agency. The agreement
further provides that only the Court has the authority to reinstate access and use.
9.3.1 Agency understands that if it has signed the Court Data Services Subscriber Amendment and if Agency’s
Individual Users violate the provisions of that Amendment, access and use will be suspended by BCA or Court.
Agency also understands that reinstatement is only at the direction of the Court.
9.3.2 Agency further agrees that if Agency believes that one or more of its Individual Users have violated the terms of
the Amendment, it will notify BCA and Court so that an investigation as described in Clause 9.1 may occur.
10 Venue
Venue for all legal proceedings involving this Agreement, or its breach, must be in the appropriate state or federal
court with competent jurisdiction in Ramsey County, Minnesota.
11 Termination
11.1 Termination. The BCA or the Agency may terminate this Agreement at any time, with or without cause, upon 30
days’ written notice to the other party’s Authorized Representative.
11.2 Termination for Insufficient Funding. Either party may immediately terminate this Agreement if it does not
obtain funding from the Minnesota Legislature, or other funding source; or if funding cannot be continued at a level
sufficient to allow for the payment of the services covered here. Termination must be by written notice to the other
party’s authorized representative. The Agency is not obligated to pay for any services that are provided after notice
and effective date of termination. However, the BCA will be entitled to payment, determined on a pro rata basis, for
services satisfactorily performed to the extent that funds are available. Neither party will be assessed any penalty if

STATE OF MINNESOTA
JOINT POWERS AGREEMENT
AUTHORIZED AGENCY
This agreement is between the State of Minnesota, acting through its Department of Public Safety, Bureau of Criminal
Apprehension ("BCA") and the City of Corcoran on behalf of its Prosecuting Attorney ("Agency").
Recitals
Under Minn. Stat. § 471.59, the BCA and the Agency are empowered to engage in those agreements that are necessary to
exercise their powers. Under Minn. Stat. § 299C.46 the BCA must provide a criminal justice data communications
network to benefit authorized agencies in Minnesota. The Agency is authorized by law to utilize the criminal justice data
communications network pursuant to the terms set out in this agreement. In addition, BCA either maintains repositories
of data or has access to repositories of data that benefit authorized agencies in performing their duties. Agency wants to
access these data in support of its official duties.
The purpose of this Agreement is to create a method by which the Agency has access to those systems and tools for which
it has eligibility, and to memorialize the requirements to obtain access and the limitations on the access.
Agreement
1 Term of Agreement
1.1 Effective date: This Agreement is effective on the date the BCA obtains all required signatures under Minn.
Stat. § 16C.05, subdivision 2.
1.2 Expiration date: This Agreement expires five years from the date it is effective.
2 Agreement between the Parties
2.1 General access. BCA agrees to provide Agency with access to the Minnesota Criminal Justice Data
Communications Network (CJDN) and those systems and tools which the Agency is authorized by law to access via
the CJDN for the purposes outlined in Minn. Stat. § 299C.46.
2.2 Methods of access.
The BCA offers three (3) methods of access to its systems and tools. The methods of access are:
A. Direct access occurs when individual users at the Agency use Agency’s equipment to access the BCA’s
systems and tools. This is generally accomplished by an individual user entering a query into one of BCA’s
systems or tools.
B. Indirect access occurs when individual users at the Agency go to another Agency to obtain data and
information from BCA’s systems and tools. This method of access generally results in the Agency with indirect
access obtaining the needed data and information in a physical format like a paper report.
C. Computer-to-computer system interface occurs when Agency’s computer exchanges data and information
with BCA’s computer systems and tools using an interface. Without limitation, interface types include: state
message switch, web services, enterprise service bus and message queuing.
For purposes of this Agreement, Agency employees or contractors may use any of these methods to use BCA’s
systems and tools as described in this Agreement. Agency will select a method of access and can change the
methodology following the process in Clause 2.10.
2.3 Federal systems access. In addition, pursuant to 28 CFR §20.30-38 and Minn. Stat. §299C.58, BCA may provide
Agency with access to the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) National Crime Information Center.
SWIFT Contract # 120729
MN027381A

2.4 Agency policies. Both the BCA and the FBI’s Criminal Justice Information Systems (FBI-CJIS) have policies,
regulations and laws on access, use, audit, dissemination, hit confirmation, logging, quality assurance, screening (pre-
employment), security, timeliness, training, use of the system, and validation. Agency has created its own policies to
ensure that Agency’s employees and contractors comply with all applicable requirements. Agency ensures this
compliance through appropriate enforcement. These BCA and FBI-CJIS policies and regulations, as amended and
updated from time to time, are incorporated into this Agreement by reference. The policies are available at
https://bcanextest.x.state.mn.us/launchpad/.
2.5 Agency resources. To assist Agency in complying with the federal and state requirements on access to and use of
the various systems and tools, information is available at https://sps.x.state.mn.us/sites/bcaservicecatalog/default.aspx.
Additional information on appropriate use is found in the Minnesota Bureau of Criminal Apprehension Policy on
Appropriate Use of Systems and Data available at https://dps.mn.gov/divisions/bca/bca-
divisions/mnjis/Documents/BCA-Policy-on-Appropriate-Use-of-Systems-and-Data.pdf.
2.6 Access granted.
A. Agency is granted permission to use all current and future BCA systems and tools for which Agency is
eligible. Eligibility is dependent on Agency (i) satisfying all applicable federal or state statutory requirements; (ii)
complying with the terms of this Agreement; and (iii) acceptance by BCA of Agency’s written request for use of a
specific system or tool.
B. To facilitate changes in systems and tools, Agency grants its Authorized Representative authority to make
written requests for those systems and tools provided by BCA that the Agency needs to meet its criminal justice
obligations and for which Agency is eligible.
2.7 Future access. On written request by Agency, BCA also may provide Agency with access to those systems or
tools which may become available after the signing of this Agreement, to the extent that the access is authorized by
applicable state and federal law. Agency agrees to be bound by the terms and conditions contained in this Agreement
that when utilizing new systems or tools provided under this Agreement.
2.8 Limitations on access. BCA agrees that it will comply with applicable state and federal laws when making
information accessible. Agency agrees that it will comply with applicable state and federal laws when accessing,
entering, using, disseminating, and storing data. Each party is responsible for its own compliance with the most
current applicable state and federal laws.
2.9 Supersedes prior agreements. This Agreement supersedes any and all prior agreements between the BCA and
the Agency regarding access to and use of systems and tools provided by BCA.
2.10 Requirement to update information. The parties agree that if there is a change to any of the information
whether required by law or this Agreement, the party will send the new information to the other party in writing
within 30 days of the change. This clause does not apply to changes in systems or tools provided under this
Agreement.
This requirement to give notice additionally applies to changes in the individual or organization serving a city as its
prosecutor. Any change in performance of the prosecutorial function must be provided to the BCA in writing by
giving notice to the Service Desk, BCA.ServiceDesk@state.mn.us.
2.11 Transaction record. The BCA creates and maintains a transaction record for each exchange of data utilizing its
systems and tools. In order to meet FBI-CJIS requirements and to perform the audits described in Clause 7, there
must be a method of identifying which individual users at the Agency conducted a particular transaction.
If Agency uses either direct access as described in Clause 2.2A or indirect access as described in Clause 2.2B, BCA’s
transaction record meets FBI-CJIS requirements.
When Agency’s method of access is a computer to computer interface as described in Clause 2.2C, the Agency must
SWIFT Contract # 120729
MN027381A
3
keep a transaction record sufficient to satisfy FBI-CJIS requir ements and permit the audits described in Clause 7 to
occur.
If an Agency accesses data from the Driver and Vehicle Services Division in the Minnesota Department of Public
Safety and keeps a copy of the data, Agency must have a transaction record of all subsequent access to the data that
are kept by the Agency. The transaction record must include the individual user who requested access, and the date,
time and content of the request. The transaction record must also include the date, time and content of the response
along with the destination to which the data were sent. The transaction record must be maintained for a minimum of
six (6) years from the date the transaction occurred and must be made available to the BCA within one (1) business
day of the BCA’s request.
2.12 Court information access. Certain BCA systems and tools that include access to and/or submission of Court
Records may only be utilized by the Agency if the Agency completes the Court Data Services Subscriber
Amendment, which upon execution will be incorporated into this Agreement by reference. These BCA systems and
tools are identified in the written request made by Agency under Clause 2.6 above. The Court Data Services
Subscriber Amendment provides important additional terms, including but not limited to privacy (see Clause 8.2,
below), fees (see Clause 3 below), and transaction records or logs, that govern Agency’s access to and/or submission
of the Court Records delivered through the BCA systems and tools.
2.13 Vendor personnel screening. The BCA will conduct all vendor personnel screening on behalf of Agency as is
required by the FBI CJIS Security Policy. The BCA will maintain records of the federal, fingerprint-based
background check on each vendor employee as well as records of the completion of the security awareness training
that may be relied on by the Agency.
3 Payment
The Agency understands there is a cost for access to the criminal justice data communications network described in
Minn. Stat. § 299C.46. At the time this Agreement is signed, BCA understands that a third party will be responsible
for the cost of access.
Agency will identify the third party and provide the BCA with the contact information and its contact person for
billing purposes so that billing can be established. The Agency will provide updated information to BCA’s
Authorized Representative within ten business days when this information changes.
If Agency chooses to execute the Court Data Services Subscriber Amendment referred to in Clause 2.12 in order to
access and/or submit Court Records via BCA’s systems, additional fees, if any, are addressed in that amendment.
4 Authorized Representatives
The BCA's Authorized Representative is Dana Gotz, Department of Public Safety, Bureau of Criminal Apprehension,
Minnesota Justice Information Services, 1430 Maryland Avenue, St. Paul, MN 55106, 651-793-1007, or her

The Agency's Authorized Representative is John Thames, City Attorney, 6300 Shingle Creek Parkway, Suite 305,
Minneapolis, MN 55430, (763) 561-2800, or his/her successor.

5.1 Assignment. Neither party may assign nor transfer any rights or obligations under this Agreement.
5.2 Amendments. Any amendment to this Agreement, except those described in Clauses 2.6 and 2.7 above must be in
writing and will not be effective until it has been signed and approved by the same parties who signed and

access to any Court Confidential Information of the restrictions upon disclosure and use
contained in this Subscriber Amendment, requiring each individual who is permitted use of
and/or access to Court Confidential Information to acknowledge in writing that the
individual has read and understands such restrictions. Subscriber shall keep such
acknowledgements on file for one year following termination of the Subscriber
Amendment and/or CJDN Subscriber Agreement, whichever is longer, and shall provide
the Court with access to, and copies of, such acknowledgements upon request. For
purposes of this Subscriber Amendment, Subscriber’s bona fide personnel shall mean
individuals who are employees of Subscriber or provide services to Subscriber either on a
voluntary basis or as independent contractors with Subscriber.
d. That, without limiting section 1 of this Subscriber Amendment, the
obligations of Subscriber and its bona fide personnel with respect to the confidentiality and
security of Court Confidential Information shall survive the termination of this Subscriber
Amendment and the CJDN Subscriber Agreement and the termination of their relationship
with Subscriber.
e. That, notwithstanding any federal or state law applicable to the
nondisclosure obligations of Subscriber and Subscriber’s bona fide personnel under this
Subscriber Amendment, such obligations of Subscriber and Subscriber's bona fide
personnel are founded independently on the provisions of this Subscriber Amendment.
6. APPLICABILITY TO PREVIOUSLY DISCLOSED COURT RECORDS.
Subscriber acknowledges and agrees that all Authorized Court Data Services and related Court
Records disclosed to Subscriber prior to the effective date of this Subscriber Amendment shall be
subject to the provisions of this Subscriber Amendment.
5
7. LICENSE AND PROTECTION OF PROPRIETARY RIGHTS. During the
term of this Subscriber Amendment, subject to the terms and conditions hereof, the Court hereby
grants to Subscriber a nonexclusive, nontransferable, limited license to use Court Data Services
Programs and Court Data Services Databases to access or receive the Authorized Court Data
Services identified in an approved request form under section 3, above, and related Court
Records. Court reserves the right to make modifications to the Authorized Court Data Services,
Court Data Services Programs, and Court Data Services Databases, and related materials without
notice to Subscriber. These modifications shall be treated in all respects as their previous
counterparts.
a. Court Data Services Programs. Court is the copyright owner and licensor
of the Court Data Services Programs. The combination of ideas, procedures, processes,
systems, logic, coherence and methods of operation embodied within the Court Data
Services Programs, and all information contained in documentation pertaining to the Court
Data Services Programs, including but not limited to manuals, user documentation, and
passwords, are trade secret information of Court and its licensors.
b. Court Data Services Databases. Court is the copyright owner and licensor
of the Court Data Services Databases and of all copyrightable aspects and components
thereof. All specifications and information pertaining to the Court Data Services
Databases and their structure, sequence and organization, including without limitation data
schemas such as the Court XML Schema, are trade secret information of Court and its
licensors.
c. Marks. Subscriber shall neither have nor claim any right, title, or interest
in or use of any trademark used in connection with Authorized Court Data Services,
including but not limited to the marks “MNCIS” and “Odyssey.”
d. Restrictions on Duplication, Disclosure, and Use. Trade secret
information of Court and its licensors will be treated by Subscriber in the same manner as
Court Confidential Information. In addition, Subscriber will not copy any part of the
Court Data Services Programs or Court Data Services Databases, or reverse engineer or
otherwise attempt to discern the source code of the Court Data Services Programs or
Court Data Services Databases, or use any trademark of Court or its licensors, in any way
or for any purpose not specifically and expressly authorized by this Subscriber
Amendment. As used herein, "trade secret information of Court and its licensors" means
any information possessed by Court which derives independent economic value from not
being generally known to, and not being readily ascertainable by proper means by, other
persons who can obtain economic value from its disclosure or use. "Trade secret
information of Court and its licensors" does not, however, include information which was
known to Subscriber prior to Subscriber’s receipt thereof, either directly or indirectly,
from Court or its licensors, information which is independently developed by Subscriber
without reference to or use of information received from Court or its licensors, or
information which would not qualify as a trade secret under Minnesota law. It will not be
a violation of this section 7, sub-section d, for Subscriber to make up to one copy of
training materials and configuration documentation, if any, for each individual authorized
to access, use, or configure Authorized Court Data Services, solely for its own use in
connection with this Subscriber Amendment. Subscriber will take all steps reasonably
necessary to protect the copyright, trade secret, and trademark rights of Court and its
licensors and Subscriber will advise its bona fide personnel who are permitted access to
6
any of the Court Data Services Programs and Court Data Services Databases, and trade
secret information of Court and its licensors, of the restrictions upon duplication,
disclosure and use contained in this Subscriber Amendment.
e. Proprietary Notices. Subscriber will not remove any copyright or
proprietary notices included in and/or on the Court Data Services Programs or Court Data
Services Databases, related documentation, or trade secret information of Court and its
licensors, or any part thereof, made available by Court directly or through the BCA, if
any, and Subscriber will include in and/or on any copy o f the Court Data Services
Programs or Court Data Services Databases, or trade secret information of Court and its
licensors and any documents pertaining thereto, the same copyright and other proprietary
notices as appear on the copies made available to Subscriber by Court directly or through
the BCA, except that copyright notices shall be updated and other proprietary notices
added as may be appropriate.
f. Title; Return. The Court Data Services Programs and Court Data Services
Databases, and related documentation, including but not limited to training and
configuration material, if any, and logon account information and passwords, if any, made
available by the Court to Subscriber directly or through the BCA and all copies, including
partial copies, thereof are and remain the property of the respective licensor. Except as
expressly provided in section 12.b., within ten days of the effective date of termination of
this Subscriber Amendment or the CJDN Subscriber Agreement or within ten days of a
request for termination of Authorized Court Data Service as described in section 4,
Subscriber shall either: (i) uninstall and return any and all copies of the applicable Court
Data Services Programs and Court Data Services Databases, and related documentation,
including but not limited to training and configuration materials, if any, and logon account
information, if any; or (2) destroy the same and certify in writing to the Court that the
same have been destroyed.
8. INJUNCTIVE RELIEF. Subscriber acknowledges that the Court, Court’s
licensors, and DCA will be irreparably harmed if Subscriber’s obligations under this Subscriber
Amendment are not specifically enforced and that the Court, Court’s licensors, and DCA would
not have an adequate remedy at law in the event of an actual or threatened violation by Subscriber
of its obligations. Therefore, Subscriber agrees that the Court, Court’s licensors, and DCA shall
be entitled to an injunction or any appropriate decree of specific performance for any actual or
threatened violations or breaches by Subscriber or its bona fide personnel without the necessity of
the Court, Court’s licensors, or DCA showing actual damages or that monetary damages would
not afford an adequate remedy. Unless Subscriber is an office, officer, agency, department,
division, or bureau of the state of Minnesota, Subscriber shall be liable to the Court, Court’s
licensors, and DCA for reasonable attorneys fees incurred by the Court, Court’s licensors, and
DCA in obtaining any relief pursuant to this Subscriber Amendment.
9. LIABILITY. Subscriber and the Court agree that, except as otherwise expressly
provided herein, each party will be responsible for its own acts and the results thereof to the
extent authorized by law and shall not be responsible f or the acts of any others and the results
thereof. Liability shall be governed by applicable law. Without limiting the foregoing, liability
of the Court and any Subscriber that is an office, officer, agency, department, division, or bureau
of the state of Minnesota shall be governed by the provisions of the Minnesota Tort Claims Act,
Minnesota Statutes, section 3.376, and other applicable law. Without limiting the foregoing, if
Subscriber is a political subdivision of the state of Minnesota, liability of the Subscriber shall be
7
governed by the provisions of Minn. Stat. Ch. 466 (Tort Liability, Political Subdivisions) or other
applicable law. Subscriber and Court further acknowledge that the liability, if any, of the BCA is
governed by a separate agreement between the Court and the BCA dated December 13, 2010 with
DPS-M -0958.
10. AVAILABILITY. Specific terms of availability shall be established by the Court
and communicated to Subscriber by the Court and/or the BCA. The Court reserves the right to
terminate this Subscriber Amendment immediately and/or temporarily suspend Subscriber’s
Authorized Court Data Services in the event the capacity of any host computer system or
legislative appropriation of funds is determined solely by the Court to be insufficient to meet the
computer needs of the courts served by the host computer system.
11. [reserved]
12. ADDITIONAL USER OBLIGATIONS. The obligations of the Subscriber set
forth in this section are in addition to the other obligations of the Subscriber set forth elsewhere in
this Subscriber Amendment.
a. Judicial Policy Statement. Subscriber agrees to comply with all policies
identified in Policies & Notices applicable to Court Records accessed by Subscriber using
Authorized Court Data Services. Upon failure of the Subscriber to comply with such
policies, the Court shall have the option of immediately suspending the Subscriber’s
Authorized Court Data Services on a temporary basis and/or immediately terminating this
Subscriber Amendment.
b. Access and Use; Log. Subscriber shall be responsible for all access to and
use of Authorized Court Data Services and Court Records by Subscriber’s bona fide
personnel or by means of Subscriber’s equipment or passwords, whether or not Subscriber
has knowledge of or authorizes such access and use. Subscriber shall also maintain a log
identifying all persons to whom Subscriber has disclosed its Court Confidential Security
and Activation Information, such as user ID(s) and password(s), including the date of such
disclosure. Subscriber shall maintain such logs for a minimum period of six years from
the date of disclosure, and shall provide the Court with access to, and copies of, such logs
upon request. The Court may conduct audits of Subscriber’s logs and use of Authorized
Court Data Services and Court Records from time to time. Upon Subscriber’s failure to
maintain such logs, to maintain accurate logs, or to promptly provide access by the Court
to such logs, the Court may terminate this Subscriber Amendment without prior notice to
Subscriber.
c. Personnel. Subscriber agrees to investigate, at the request of the Court
and/or the BCA, allegations of misconduct pertaining to Subscriber’s bona fide personnel
having access to or use of Authorized Court Data Services, Court Confidential
Information, or trade secret information of the Court and its licensors where such persons
are alleged to have violated the provisions of this Subscriber Amendment, Policies &
Notices, Judicial Branch policies, or other security requirements or laws reg ulating access
to the Court Records.
d. Minnesota Data Practices Act Applicability. If Subscriber is a Minnesota
Government entity that is subject to the Minnesota Government Data Practices Act, Minn.
8
Stat. Ch. 13, Subscriber acknowledges and agrees that: (1) the Court is not subject to Minn.

promulgated by the Minnesota Supreme Court; (2) Minn. Stat. section 13.03, subdivision
4(e) requires that Subscriber comply with the Rules of Public Access and other rules
promulgated by the Minnesota Supreme Court for access to Court Records provided via the

division, agency, or bureau of the state of Minnesota, Subscriber shall pay the fees, if any, set
forth in applicable Policies & Notices, together with applicable sales, use or other taxes.
Applicable monthly fees commence ten (10) days after notice o f approval of the request pursuant
to section 3 of this Subscriber Amendment or upon the initial Subscriber transaction as defined in
the Policies & Notices, whichever occurs earlier. When fees apply, the Court shall invoice
Subscriber on a monthly basis for charges incurred in the preceding month and applicable taxes, if
any, and payment of all amounts shall be due upon receipt of invoice. If all amounts are not paid
within 30 days of the date of the invoice, the Court may immediately cancel this Subscriber
Amendment without notice to Subscriber and pursue all available legal remedies. Subscriber
certifies that funds have been appropriated for the payment of charges under this Subscriber
Amendment for the current fiscal year, if applicable.
14. MODIFICATION OF FEES. Court may modify the fees by amending the
Policies & Notices as provided herein, and the modified fees shall be effective on the date
specified in the Policies & Notices, which shall not be less than thirty days from the publication of
the Policies & Notices. Subscriber shall have the option of accepting such changes or terminating
this Subscriber Amendment as provided in section 1 hereof.
15. WARRANTY DISCLAIMERS.

CJDN SUBSCRIBER AGREEMENT

Recitals
This Subscriber Amendment modifies and supplements the Agreement between the BCA and
Agency, SWIFT Contract number 120729, of even or prior date, for Agency use of BCA systems
and tools (referred to herein as “the CJDN Subscriber Agreement”). Certain BCA systems and
tools that include access to and/or submission of Court Records may only be utilized by the Agency
if the Agency completes this Subscriber Amendment. The Agency desires to use one or more BCA
systems and tools to access and/or submit Court Records to assist the Agency in the efficient
performance of its duties as required or authorized by law or court rule. Court desires to permit
such access and/or submission. This Subscriber Amendment is intended to add Court as a party to
the CJDN Subscriber Agreement and to create obligations by the Agency to the Court that can be
enforced by the Court. It is also understood that, pursuant to the Master Joint Powers Agreement for
Delivery of Court Data Services to CJDN Subscribers (“Master Authorization Agreement”)
between the Court and the BCA, the BCA is authorized to sign this Subscriber Amendment on

Amendment shall be effective on the date finally executed by all parties and shall remain in effect
until expiration or termination of the CJDN Subscriber Agreement unless terminated earlier as
provided in this Subscriber Amendment. Any party may terminate this Subscriber Amendment
with or without cause by giving written notice to all other parties. The effective date of the
termination shall be thirty days after the other party's receipt of the notice of termination, unless a
later date is specified in the notice. The provisions of sections 5 through 9, 12.b., 12.c., and 15
through 24 shall survive any termination of this Subscriber Amendment as shall any other
provisions which by their nature are intended or expected to survive such termination. Upon
termination, the Subscriber shall perform the responsibilities set forth in paragraph 7(f) hereof.

access to any Court Confidential Information of the restrictions upon disclosure and use
contained in this Subscriber Amendment, requiring each individual who is permitted use of
and/or access to Court Confidential Information to acknowledge in writing that the
individual has read and understands such restrictions. Subscriber shall keep such
acknowledgements on file for one year following termination of the Subscriber

personnel are founded independently on the provisions of this Subscriber Amendment.
6. APPLICABILITY TO PREVIOUSLY DISCLOSED COURT RECORDS.
Subscriber acknowledges and agrees that all Authorized Court Data Services and related Court
Records disclosed to Subscriber prior to the effective date of this Subscriber Amendment shall be

5
7. LICENSE AND PROTECTION OF PROPRIETARY RIGHTS. During the
term of this Subscriber Amendment, subject to the terms and conditions hereof, the Court hereby
grants to Subscriber a nonexclusive, nontransferable, limited license to use Court Data Services
Programs and Court Data Services Databases to access or receive the Authorized Court Data
Services identified in an approved request form under section 3, above, and related Court
Records. Court reserves the right to make modifications to the Authorized Court Data Services,
Court Data Services Programs, and Court Data Services Databases, and related materials without
notice to Subscriber. These modifications shall be treated in all respects as their previous
counterparts.
a. Court Data Services Programs. Court is the copyright owner and licensor
of the Court Data Services Programs. The combination of ideas, procedures, processes,
systems, logic, coherence and methods of operation embodied within the Court Data
Services Programs, and all information contained in documentation pertaining to the Court
Data Services Programs, including but not limited to manuals, user documentation, and
passwords, are trade secret information of Court and its licensors.
b. Court Data Services Databases. Court is the copyright owner and licensor
of the Court Data Services Databases and of all copyrightable aspects and components
thereof. All specifications and information pertaining to the Court Data Services
Databases and their structure, sequence and organization, including without limitation data
schemas such as the Court XML Schema, are trade secret information of Court and its
licensors.
c. Marks. Subscriber shall neither have nor claim any right, title, or interest
in or use of any trademark used in connection with Authorized Court Data Services,
including but not limited to the marks “MNCIS” and “Odyssey.”
d. Restrictions on Duplication, Disclosure, and Use. Trade secret
information of Court and its licensors will be treated by Subscriber in the same manner as
Court Confidential Information. In addition, Subscriber will not copy any part of the
Court Data Services Programs or Court Data Services Databases, or reverse engineer or
otherwise attempt to discern the source code of the Court Data Services Programs or
Court Data Services Databases, or use any trademark of Court or its licensors, in any way
or for any purpose not specifically and expressly authorized by this Subscriber
Amendment. As used herein, "trade secret information of Court and its licensors" means
any information possessed by Court which derives independent economic value from not
being generally known to, and not being readily ascertainable by proper means by, other
persons who can obtain economic value from its disclosure or use. "Trade secret
information of Court and its licensors" does not, however, include information which was
known to Subscriber prior to Subscriber’s receipt thereof, either directly or indirectly,
from Court or its licensors, information which is independently developed by Subscriber
without reference to or use of information received from Court or its licensors, or
information which would not qualify as a trade secret under Minnesota law. It will not be
a violation of this section 7, sub-section d, for Subscriber to make up to one copy of
training materials and configuration documentation, if any, for each individual authorized
to access, use, or configure Authorized Court Data Services, solely for its own use in
connection with this Subscriber Amendment. Subscriber will take all steps reasonably
necessary to protect the copyright, trade secret, and trademark rights of Court and its
licensors and Subscriber will advise its bona fide personnel who are permitted access to
6
any of the Court Data Services Programs and Court Data Services Databases, and trade
secret information of Court and its licensors, of the restrictions upon duplication,
disclosure and use contained in this Subscriber Amendment.
e. Proprietary Notices. Subscriber will not remove any copyright or
proprietary notices included in and/or on the Court Data Services Programs or Court Data
Services Databases, related documentation, or trade secret information of Court and its
licensors, or any part thereof, made available by Court directly or through the BCA, if
any, and Subscriber will include in and/or on any copy of the Court Data Services
Programs or Court Data Services Databases, or trade secret information of Court and its
licensors and any documents pertaining thereto, the same copyright and other proprietary
notices as appear on the copies made available to Subscriber by Court directly or through
the BCA, except that copyright notices shall be updated and other proprietary notices
added as may be appropriate.
f. Title; Return. The Court Data Services Programs and Court Data Services
Databases, and related documentation, including but not limited to training and
configuration material, if any, and logon account information and passwords, if any, made
available by the Court to Subscriber directly or through the BCA and all copies, including
partial copies, thereof are and remain the property of the respective licensor. Except as
expressly provided in section 12.b., within ten days of the effective date of termination of
this Subscriber Amendment or the CJDN Subscriber Agreement or within ten days of a
request for termination of Authorized Court Data Service as described in section 4,
Subscriber shall either: (i) uninstall and return any and all copies of the applicable Court
Data Services Programs and Court Data Services Databases, and related documentation,
including but not limited to training and configuration materials, if any, and logon account
information, if any; or (2) destroy the same and certify in writing to the Court that the
same have been destroyed.
8. INJUNCTIVE RELIEF. Subscriber acknowledges that the Court, Court’s
licensors, and DCA will be irreparably harmed if Subscriber’s obligations under this Subscriber
Amendment are not specifically enforced and that the Court, Court’s licensors, and DCA would
not have an adequate remedy at law in the event of an actual or threatened violation by Subscriber
of its obligations. Therefore, Subscriber agrees that the Court, Court’s licensors, and DCA shall
be entitled to an injunction or any appropriate decree of specific performance for any actual or
threatened violations or breaches by Subscriber or its bona fide personnel without the necessity of
the Court, Court’s licensors, or DCA showing actual damages or that monetary damages would
not afford an adequate remedy. Unless Subscriber is an office, officer, agency, department,
division, or bureau of the state of Minnesota, Subscriber shall be liable to the Court, Court’s
licensors, and DCA for reasonable attorneys fees incurred by the Court, Court’s licensors, and
DCA in obtaining any relief pursuant to this Subscriber Amendment.
9. LIABILITY. Subscriber and the Court agree that, except as otherwise expressly
provided herein, each party will be responsible for its own acts and the results thereof to the
extent authorized by law and shall not be responsibl e for the acts of any others and the results
thereof. Liability shall be governed by applicable law. Without limiting the foregoing, liability
of the Court and any Subscriber that is an office, officer, agency, department, division, or bureau
of the state of Minnesota shall be governed by the provisions of the Minnesota Tort Claims Act,
Minnesota Statutes, section 3.376, and other applicable law. Without limiting the foregoing, if
Subscriber is a political subdivision of the state of Minnesota, liability of the Subscriber shall be
7
governed by the provisions of Minn. Stat. Ch. 466 (Tort Liability, Political Subdivisions) or other
applicable law. Subscriber and Court further acknowledge that the liability, if any, of the BCA is
governed by a separate agreement between the Court and the BCA dated December 13, 2010 with
DPS-M -0958.
10. AVAILABILITY. Specific terms of availability shall be established by the Court
and communicated to Subscriber by the Court and/or the BCA. The Court reserves the right to
terminate this Subscriber Amendment immediately and/or temporarily suspend Subscriber’s
Authorized Court Data Services in the event the capacity of any host computer system or
legislative appropriation of funds is determined solely by the Court to be insufficient to meet the
computer needs of the courts served by the host computer system.
11. [reserved]
12. ADDITIONAL USER OBLIGATIONS. The obligations of the Subscriber set
forth in this section are in addition to the other obligations of the Subscriber set forth elsewhere in
this Subscriber Amendment.
a. Judicial Policy Statement. Subscriber agrees to comply with all policies
identified in Policies & Notices applicable to Court Records accessed by Subscriber using
Authorized Court Data Services. Upon failure of the Subscriber to comply with such
policies, the Court shall have the option of immediately suspending the Subscriber’s
Authorized Court Data Services on a temporary basis and/or immediately terminating this
Subscriber Amendment.
b. Access and Use; Log. Subscriber shall be responsible for all access to and
use of Authorized Court Data Services and Court Records by Subscriber’s bona fide
personnel or by means of Subscriber’s equipment or passwords, whether or not Subscriber
has knowledge of or authorizes such access and use. Subscriber shall also maintain a log
identifying all persons to whom Subscriber has disclosed its Court Confidential Security
and Activation Information, such as user ID(s) and password(s), including the date of such
disclosure. Subscriber shall maintain such logs for a minimum period of six years from
the date of disclosure, and shall provide the Court with access to, and copies of, such logs
upon request. The Court may conduct audits of Subscriber’s logs and use of Authorized
Court Data Services and Court Records from time to time. Upon Subscriber’s failure to
maintain such logs, to maintain accurate logs, or to promptly provide access by the Court
to such logs, the Court may terminate this Subscriber Amendment without prior notice to
Subscriber.
c. Personnel. Subscriber agrees to investigate, at the request of the Court
and/or the BCA, allegations of misconduct pertaining to Subscriber’s bona fide personnel
having access to or use of Authorized Court Data Services, Court Confidential
Information, or trade secret information of the Court and its licensors where such persons
are alleged to have violated the provisions of this Subscriber Amendment, Policies &
Notices, Judicial Branch policies, or other security requirements or laws regulating access
to the Court Records.
d. Minnesota Data Practices Act Applicability. If Subscriber is a Minnesota
Government entity that is subject to the Minnesota Government Data Practices Act, Minn.

Applicable monthly fees commence ten (10) days after notice of approval of the request pursuant
to section 3 of this Subscriber Amendment or upon the initial Subscriber transaction as defined in
the Policies & Notices, whichever occurs earlier. When fees apply, the Court shall invoice
Subscriber on a monthly basis for charges incurred in the preceding month and applicable taxes, if
any, and payment of all amounts shall be due upon receipt of invoice. If all amounts are not paid
within 30 days of the date of the invoice, the Court may immediately cancel this Subscriber
Amendment without notice to Subscriber and pursue all available legal remedies. Subscriber
certifies that funds have been appropriated for the payment of charges under this Subscriber
Amendment for the current fiscal year, if applicable.
14. MODIFICATION OF FEES. Court may modify the fees by amending the
Policies & Notices as provided herein, and the modified fees shall be effective on the date

FROM Kendra Lindahl, City Planner
RE Active Corcoran Planning Applications
The following is a summary of project status for current, active projects:
1.Sawgrass Preliminary Plat, Preliminary PUD Development Plan and Rezoning for on Schendel
property at 20400 County Road 10 (City file 14-027). The City Council approved the request on
December 11, 2014 and granted the applicant 2 years to apply for the final plat and final PUD
development plan. Peachtree Partners did not buy the property, but a different developer could still
proceed with the approved plan. On December 9, 2016, the applicant submitted a written request to
extend the approvals for an additional year. Staff recommended that this request be reviewed by the
City Council, but adequate time was not provided to place this on a Council agenda prior to expiration.
Staff administratively approved an extension until February 28, 2017 so that this request for extension
could be considered at the February 23, 2017 Council meeting.
2.Interim Use Permit for a Conditional Home Occupation License for an upholstery business
(Designers Choice Upholstery) located at 20125 County Road 117 (PID 02-119-23-12-0005) (city
file no. 16-013). The applicant is incomplete, but will be scheduled for a public hearing at the Planning
Commission and City Council review when complete. Staff is following up with applicant to complete
the application.
3.Industrial Lot Standards. Staff received a request from the property owner at 19905 75th Avenue to
consider changes to the minimum lot size standards in the Industrial zoning districts. Staff prepared a
summary of the issues for City Council consideration at the August 25th meeting. At the September 8th
Council meeting, the Council directed the City Administrator to work with Maxfield Research and have
them include their analysis in the Market Study that they will complete soon.
4.Motor Café Conditional Use Permits and Site Plan at 23030 Highway 55 (PID 32-119-23-33-0009)
(City File 16-033). The applicant is requesting approval of a Site Plan and Conditional Use Permits for
Auto Sales/Repair and to allow more than 20% metal siding. The existing business was a non-
conforming use that burned on May 24, 2016. The non-conforming status was lost and the code
requires the building to be restored in conformity with the regulations of this Ordinance. The Planning
Commission recommended approval after the public hearing at the January 5th meeting and action is
expected at the January 26th City Council meeting.
5.2040 Corcoran Comprehensive Plan (City file 17-001). At their January 12th meeting, the City
Council authorized staff and consulting staff to begin working on the required update. Staff will be
creating a Comprehensive Plan update on the City website where information about the process,
including opportunities for public input, will be posted and regularly updated. Staff is working to
develop a more complete media outreach plan and will begin implementing that in the next few weeks.
The first meeting with be a joint City Council/Commission meeting on March 16th.
Agenda Item 8b.
MEMORANDUM 2
6. Lennar Final Plat, and PUD Final Development Plan for “Ravinia 8th Addition” (the Schwalbe
property) (PID 36-119-23-14-0001) (city file 17-002). Lennar has submitted the application for
approval. Staff is reviewing the application for completeness. The application is expected to be
reviewed at the March Planning Commission and City Council meetings.
7. Sunrise Solar IUP and Preliminary Plat for a Community Solar Garden on the Pouliot property
on County Road 19 (PID 30-119-23-44-0003 and 29-119-23-33-0001) (city file 17-003). Sunrise
Solar has submitted the application for approval. Staff is reviewing the application for completeness. If
complete, the application is expected to be reviewed at the March Planning Commission and City
Council meetings.
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. Staff has spoken to the applicant and will schedule a meeting when
more information is available on the Loretto sewer project.
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 met again with Pastor Brian Lother in December to try to finalize this issue and
address some other questions or concerns from him. We hope to be able to wrap this up in the near
future.
3. Commercial Door Addition at 7670 Commerce Street (City file 15-010) The City received an
application for approval of a building addition, which required a conditional use permit, interim use
permit, variance and site plan approval. The project was reviewed at a public hearing at the June 4th
Planning Commission meeting and was approved by the City Council on June 25th. The required
landscaping will be finalized and constructed after the downtown infrastructure project is completed.
The City will release the remaining escrow when the planting is completed.
4. “Strehler Estates” Final Plat (PID 17-119-23-32-0004) (city file no. 16-001). The applicant
submitted a request for approval of a preliminary plat to create 4 lots and an ordinance amendment to
allow a private drive for property at 22900 Strehler Road. The City Council approved both items on
October 8th. The final plat was approved by the City Council at the January 28th meeting. A stop work
order was issued last week as the developer began construction of the private drive in advance of
filing the plat. The applicant is working to address the conditions of approval and then will record the
final plat at Hennepin County.
5. Private Drive Ordinance Amendment (City file 16-003). The City Council approved an ordinance
amendment allowing private drives in the Rural Residential district, subject to certain conditions.
However, after adoption the City Council directed staff to revisit this issue and consider an ordinance
amendment to eliminate the requirement that private drives off paved roads must be paved. The City
Council approved the amendment on May 26th. The Council also identified additional issues that
should be reviewed and discussed at a future date.
6. IUP for Commercial Kennel for Daniel Benjamin at 19520 Stieg Road (City File 16-020). Daniel
Benjamin has submitted an application for an IUP for a commercial kennel. The kennel would be
located on his property, would be owned and operated by him and would have employees. The
Planning Commission recommended approval after the public hearing at the August 4th Planning
Commission and the request was approved by the City Council on August 25th. The applicant is
working to address the conditions of approval and will then apply for a building permit.
7. Park Place Storage request for Rezoning, Variance, Conditional Use Permit, Site Plan and
Preliminary Plat (City file 16-002). The City Council reviewed a sketch plan last year for expansion of
the existing mini-storage facility. The applicant has submitted the application, but is working to provide
MEMORANDUM 3

Complaint 16-075 (11/30/2016): Road damaged from construction traffic at 91XX Shannon Lane.
The City was notified that Shannon Lane was becoming impassable due to damage to the road from construction
traffic during a new home build. The road was found to be in need of immediate repair. Public works scraped the
tracked and damaged material off the roadway, hauled in 210 tons of material, and made the necessary repairs.
The owner agreed to pay for the materials and is working with the contractor to avoid damage to the road and
make repairs as needed. To prevent further damage, the road was posted for a 5 ton limit. The City has invoiced
the property owner for the materials. Invoice has been paid and a grading permit has been issued to finish the
site work.
Complaint 16-010 (4/1/2016): Home Occupation, Junk/Debris at 21XXX County Road 10.
The property owner has been conducting a retail sales business from the property which is in violation of the
Home Occupation Ordinance as well as an existing Conditional Use Permit on the property. The City has made
multiple attempts to gain compliance, but the owner has refused to comply. This matter has been referred to the
City Attorney.
Complaint 16-003 (12/17/2015): Exterior Storage, Junk/Debris at 20XXX Co Rd 10 and on City Property.
The property owner(s) signed an agreement on April 23rd to have the City property completely cleaned up no

Preliminary Plat Extension Request -
Sawgrass
Action Required:
Approval
Summary:
On December 11, 2014 the City Council approved a preliminary plat for a development
known as Sawgrass. The proposed development was for 246 single family homes on
approximately 103 acres on 20400 County Road 10.
The preliminary plat expires two years after approval unless extended (December 11,
2016). On December 8, 2016 the City received a request to extend the preliminary plat.
The City Administrator approved an extension until February 28, 2017 and informed the
applicant that the Council would consider extending it further at the February 23, 2017
meeting. Staff felt that due to the change in leadership, the decision to extend the
preliminary plat for an extended amount of time should be made by the City Council.
Attached to this document are a portion of the items related to the approvals. It is
requested that the Council consider the request to further extend the approval. More
documents are available at City Hall if you are interested. Prior to a development taking
place a final plat would need to be approved along with a development agreement.
Financial/Budget:
If the development moves forward a formal development agreement would be created
outlining responsibilities and cost for the City and developer.
Alignment with Values:
This item relates to the following adopted values:
EXCELLENCE AND QUALITY IN THE DELIVERY OF SERVICES
We believe that service to the public is our reason for being and strive to deliver

RE: Preliminary PUD Development Plan, Preliminary Plat and Rezoning to PUD (Planned
Unit Development) for “Sawgrass” for Peachtree Partners, LLC on the 103-acre
Schendel property at 20400 County Road 10 (PID 23-119-23-42-0003) (City File 14-
027)
60-DAY REVIEW DEADLINE: December 16, 2014
1. Application Request
Peachtree Partners, LLC. has submitted a request for approval of Preliminary PUD Development
Plan, Preliminary Plat and Rezoning to PUD to allow 246 single family detached homes on 103.32
acres.
*NOTE: Staff has attached the most relevant files to this packet; however, due to the size of the
project not all files could be attached. The full set of plans and application materials is available at
City Hall for inspection during regular business hours.
2. Planning Commission Review
The Planning Commission held a public hearing at their December 4th meeting. The Commission
voted unanimously to recommend approval.
In addition to the applicant, 3 residents spoke at the public hearing. There were a number of
questions about drainage, the future extension of infrastructure and comments about the proposed
amendments to the draft approvals from the developer.
The Planning Commission reviewed proposed approval modifications from the developer and made
modifications to the draft resolutions. The attached resolutions and ordinances reflect that
discussion.
The following were significant issues that were discussed:
a. The approvals require dedication of trails within an easement. The applicant would like to
provide the trails in outlots. This is not consistent with City policy and ordinance and the
Commission did recommend dedication of easements.
b. Hennepin County submitted a letter requesting a 60-foot ½ right-of-way be dedicated as part
of this plat. The applicant was showing a 40-foot ½ right-of-way. Hennepin County staff has
Agenda Item: ___
Landform®, SensiblyGreen® and Site to Finish® are registered service marks of Landform Professional Services, LLC.
verbally agreed to a 50-foot ½ right-of-way. The Commission was concerned as this has a
significant impact on the development. They deferred this issue to the City Council.
c. There was significant discussion regarding the architectural standards in the zoning
ordinance. The commission felt strongly that the developer did not need to match the front
elevation on the side and rear elevation but that variety in materials and colors must be
provided on those elevations when the lots are adjacent to the park. The language in the
approving resolution was modified to better address this issue.
d. There was significant discussion about lighting for signs. Staff recommended that down
lighting not be allowed for the proposed signs as it is prohibited by the ordinance, but the
Planning Commission recommended approval as requested by the developer.
e. The PUD flexibility standards requested by the developer were discussed at length,
ultimately, the Commission recommended approval.
The most significant policy issues for the City Council to address are:
a. The amount of right-of-way to be dedicated for County Road 10
b. Whether to accept trail outlots as proposed by the developer or easements as recommended
by staff.
c. Whether or not to accept the PUD flexibility standards.
3. Parks and Trails Commission Review
The Parks and Trails Commission reviewed this item at their November 18th meeting. The
Commission voted unanimously to recommend the following:
• Acceptance of the off road trails in 20-foot easements as shown (totaling 2.88 acres).
• The remainder of the park dedication shall be cash in lieu of land.
• The developer shall pave the entrance trail shown between County Road 10 and the large
wetland area (Outlot N).
• Recommended approval of the proposed trails in the wetland buffers as shown.
• Recommended that the developer donate a trail easement on the west side of the project
adjacent to the creek. No improvements are required in this easement and no park
dedication credit will be provided.
• The park dedication for the trail easements shall be deeded with each phase of development.
• Cash for park dedication shall be paid in full by phase II.
Additionally, the Commission recommended that the City and County work to ensure a safe trail
crossing on County Road 10 between the project and the existing City park as part of the planned
CR 10 improvements.
4. Context
Zoning and Land Use
The property is currently guided Low Density Residential and zoned RMF-3 (High Density
Residential) and UR (Urban Reserve). The Comprehensive Plan Amendment to reclassify the
Sawgrass Preliminary Plat, Preliminary PUD Development Plan and Rezoning (14-027) 2
December 11, 2014
property from High to Low Density was approved and now the City will be required to rezone to a
district compatible with this land use classification.
Surrounding Properties
The surrounding properties to the west are guided Low Density Residential and Mixed Residential
and zoned UR. The properties to the north are guided Mixed Residential and High Density
Residential and zoned UR. The properties to the east are guided Medium Density Residential and
Public/Semi-Public and are zoned UR and P-I (Public Institutional). The four parcels to the south
(and north of County Road 10) are guided Commercial and zoned C-1 (neighborhood commercial).
The property to the south across County Road 10 is guided Parks/Open Space and Public/Semi-
Public and zoned P-I and UR.
Natural Characteristics of the Site
The 2030 Comprehensive Plan shows a number of wetlands scattered around the site. The wetland
delineation was approved by Elm Creek Watershed Management Commission on January 3, 2014.
A High Quality Natural Community is located in the north (Maple Basswood Forest) and east
(Floodplain Forest) areas of the site. Rush Creek and an unnamed tributary are adjacent to or within
the site; consequently, a portion of the site is in the shoreland overlay district. A portion of the site is
also located in the floodplain.
Process
A PUD sketch plan was submitted for review and comment by the City in the summer of 2014.
Generally those comments were incorporated in the plans now being requested for review.
An EAW (Environmental Assessment Worksheet) has been completed and the City Council adopted
a determination of No Need for EIS (Environmental Impact Statement) on November 13, 2014.
If the requested preliminary applications are approved, the applicant would submit a final PUD
development plan and final plat. The applicant has indicated that this will occur in phases. If the
final plat and final plan are consistent with the approved preliminary plans, the City must approve the
final plat and final plan. A development agreement would be processed for City Council approval
with the final plat for each phase. Unless otherwise approved by the City Council, the initial final plat
must be submitted within one year of preliminary plat approval, however, subsequent phases would
be over an approximately 5 year period.
5. Analysis of Request
Staff has reviewed the application for consistency with Comprehensive Plan, Zoning Ordinance,
Subdivision Ordinance and City Code requirements, as well as City policies. The City Engineer’s
comments are incorporated into this staff report, the detailed comments are included in the attached
engineering memo and the approval conditions require compliance with the memo.
The applicant provided an extraordinarily detailed narrative with this application and this report will
highlight key issues for consideration and review.
Sawgrass Preliminary Plat, Preliminary PUD Development Plan and Rezoning (14-027) 3
December 11, 2014
A. Level of City Discretion in Decision-Making
The City has a relatively high level of discretion in approving or denying a rezoning application. The
proposed zoning for a property must be consistent with the City’s Comprehensive Plan. If the
proposed zoning is not consistent with the Comprehensive Plan, the City must deny the rezoning
application. The Zoning Ordinance and Map are the enforcement tools used to implement the goals
and standards set in the Comprehensive Plan.
The City has a relatively high level of discretion in approving PUDs. A PUD must be consistent with
the City’s Comprehensive Plan. The City may impose reasonable requirements in a PUD not
otherwise required if the City deems it necessary to promote the general health, safety and welfare
of the community and surrounding area.
The City’s discretion in approving or denying a preliminary plat is limited to whether or not the
proposed plat meets the standards outlined in the Comprehensive Land Use Regulations. If it meets
these standards, the City must approve the preliminary plat.
B. Consistency with Ordinance Standards
Rezoning
The proposed project is located in the Metropolitan Urban Service Area (MUSA) of the City. This is
the area planned to be serviced by sanitary sewer and municipal water and these services will be
extended by the developer as part of the project. The subject property is zoned Urban Reserve
(UR) and RMF-3 (High Density Residential). These land uses were anticipating higher density
development consistent with the prior High Density Land Use designation. A comprehensive plan
amendment was approved to reclassify this property as Low Density Residential and the zoning
must be revised to comply with this new land use designation.
The applicant is requesting a rezoning from Urban Reserve (UR) and RMF-3 (High Density
Residential) to PUD (planned unit development). The Zoning Ordinance has established a PUD
zoning district and the purpose of the PUD district, is to promote creative and efficient use of land by
providing design flexibility in the development of residential neighborhoods and/or nonresidential
areas that would not be possible under a conventional zoning district. In this case, the developer is
requesting PUD flexibility primarily for lot size and setbacks.
The City must review this request for compliance with the PUD standards as follows:
1. The planned development is not in conflict with the Comprehensive Plan.
The planned unit development is not in conflict with the Comprehensive Plan. The proposed
density of 3.5 units per acre is within the 3-5 units per acre expected in the Low Density
Residential land use classification and the plan incorporates the trail, park and street
connections anticipated within the site.
Sawgrass Preliminary Plat, Preliminary PUD Development Plan and Rezoning (14-027) 4
December 11, 2014
2. The planned development is not in conflict with the intent of the underlying zoning district.
The planned development of 246 single family homes is consistent with the intent of the
underlying RSF-3 zoning district, which allows a mix of single and two-family homes. The
applicant is requesting approval of PUD zoning for design flexibility to provide a mix of lot sizes
for this neighborhood at a density consistent with the Comprehensive Plan.
3. The planned development is not in conflict with other applicable provisions of the City’s
Zoning Ordinance.
The development is not in conflict with other applicable provisions of the zoning ordinance,
except that PUD flexibility is requested as noted in the staff report. In exchange for this flexibility,
the developer will provide both internal infrastructure needed to support their development and
trunk infrastructure improvements that will serve a larger development area and well as
increased amenities and better neighborhood design than might be expected in a standard
subdivision.
4. The planned development or unit thereof is of sufficient size, composition, and arrangement
that its construction, marketing, and/or operation is feasible as a complete unit without
dependence upon any other subsequent unit or phase.
The planned development is feasible without dependence upon any other subsequent phase.
The project has a 3-5 year phasing plan and development is contingent upon completion of trunk
infrastructure improvements. The initial phase will include the construction of the primary project
infrastructure, lift station and other key public infrastructure improvement.
5. The planned development will not create an excessive burden on parks, schools, streets and
other public facilities and utilities which serve or are proposed to serve the planned
development.
The planned development will not create an excessive burden on parks, schools, streets and
other public facilities and utilities which serve or are proposed to serve the planned development.
The developer is providing public trails consistent with the City’s Comprehensive Plan and a
strong pedestrian connection to the existing City park. The development includes the
construction of all public infrastructure needed to serve this site at the developer’s expense.
6. The planned development will not have an undue and adverse impact on the reasonable
enjoyment of the neighborhood property.
The planned development is a residential neighborhood developed consistent with the
Comprehensive Plan and, therefore, will not have an undue and adverse impact on the
reasonable enjoyment of the neighborhood property.
7. The quality of the building and site design proposed by the PUD plan shall substantially
enhance the aesthetics of the site, shall demonstrate higher standards, more efficient and
effective uses of streets, utilities and public facilities, it shall maintain and enhance any
Sawgrass Preliminary Plat, Preliminary PUD Development Plan and Rezoning (14-027) 5
December 11, 2014
natural resources within the development, and create a public benefit that is greater than
what would be achieved through the strict application of the primary zoning regulations
The quality of the site design proposed by the PUD shall substantially enhance the aesthetics of
the site, install and provide more efficient use of streets, utilities and public facilities than may
otherwise be expected and create public benefit that is greater than would otherwise be
achieved due to the construction and financing of all related infrastructure improvements. The
development will meet the City’s density goals while preserving 38% of the site as open space
maintained by the homeowner’s association (much of it wetland and ponding areas, but wooded
areas and public trails as well) and replanting 1,620 new trees. The applicant has not yet
determined the builder(s) for the project, but has agreed to generally comply with the City’s
architectural design standards.
The Zoning Ordinance states that “the rezoning of the property defined in the development plan shall
not become effective until such time as the City Council approves an ordinance reflecting said
amendment, which shall take place at the time that the City Council approves the final development
plan.” The Council should approve the rezoning to be effect at such time as the final PUD
development plan is adopted.
Preliminary PUD Development Plan
The PUD offers enhanced flexibility to develop the site through the relaxation of most typical zoning
district standards. The PUD allows for a greater variety of land uses, construction phasing and a
potential for lower development costs. In exchange for this flexibility, the City expects a higher level
of design and a more sensitive development than might normally be the case.
The proposal includes 226 single family homes, 20 twinhomes and several common lots/outlots.
The common areas would be maintained by the HOA.
The 3 different single family lot sizes and planned association maintained housing (twinhomes) in
the southeast corner of the site would be part of a master HOA that would be responsible for
maintenance of the cul de sac and park parkway landscaping, entrance signage, common open
space areas and similar features.
Lot Size
The Zoning Ordinance states that the purpose of the RSF-3 district is “… to be the primary single-
family zoning district for future residential developments. The smaller lot area will make efficient use
of the City’s land supply and investment in public utilities and allow the City to efficiently protect and
preserve its natural resources such as wetlands and woodlands. In addition, the smaller lot area will
help the City meet its density goal for new single-family homes. Single family homes, as well as two-
family dwellings are allowed in this district.”
The RSF-3 district requires a minimum lot size of 7,500 square feet and a minimum lot width of 65
feet. The plan shows single family residential lots in three sizes: 55-foot wide lots, 65-foot wide lots
and 75-foot lots. Lot areas range from 6,555 square feet to 20,182 square feet.
Sawgrass Preliminary Plat, Preliminary PUD Development Plan and Rezoning (14-027) 6
December 11, 2014
The PUD zoning allows flexibility from the standard lot sizes and the applicant has requested PUD
flexibility to reduce the minimum lot sizes. While the lot sizes are less than the ordinance allows, the
resulting density remains at the low end of the 3-5 units per acre that the Comprehensive Plan
anticipates.
Setbacks
The plan shows some variety from the standard setback requirements as follows:

approval.
The ordinance requires a 15-foot minimum separation between structures on adjacent parcels. The
applicant has requested PUD flexibility to reduce this separation to 10 feet. Staff notes that this is a
fairly common separation in other communities. However, in order to ensure that the 5-foot wide
drainage and utility easement remains clear on each side of the house, we have included a condition
that no accessory structures or equipment (such as air conditioning units, fireplace, etc.) be allowed
to encroach into this 5-foot setback.

Staff does not support shared drives for single family homes, but does support them for twinhomes
and townhomes as part of a good site plan. We will review details at the time of final plan approval.
While the Zoning Ordinance allows a reduced front yard setback, it does so with the understanding
that the garages will be setback from the front home elevation, thereby allowing adequate driveway
space. Section 1060 of the Zoning Ordinance requires that the driveway be at least 22 feet in length
between the front of the garage and the street, roadway or sidewalk; and “not impede pedestrian or
traffic circulation or access to any other dwelling unit, nor shall it adversely affect the ability to
provide public utilities or public safety.” The final PUD development plan must clearly show
compliance with these requirements.
Staff recommends that driveways for single family homes comply with the 5-foot side yard setback to
ensure that driveways remain outside of the City’s drainage and utility easements.
Design Requirements
When the current Zoning Ordinance was adopted in 2011, it included a new section on Design
Requirements for each zoning district. The RSF-3 district is subject to these standards. The
applicant is requesting PUD flexibility from several of these standards, as noted below.
A. Front Elevation:
1. Each elevation facing a street or park shall have a minimum of 50% comprised on (sic)
natural material consisting of brick, stone, stucco, hardi-board, redwood, cedar or other
similar materials. A minimum of two different materials is required, except that brick may be
used on the entire elevation.
Sawgrass Preliminary Plat, Preliminary PUD Development Plan and Rezoning (14-027) 8
December 11, 2014
2. Design of street and park fronting exterior elevations shall be varied with a minimum of five
different styles provided in the development.
3. Homes in proximity to each other shall not look alike in terms of the combination of color of
siding, accent and roofing materials. The home under consideration will be compared to the
two homes on each side and to the three homes directly facing it.
The applicant has indicated that they will comply with all of these requirements. Since the
applicant does not have a builder for the project, it is not clear how the applicant intends to
meet this requirement on those elevations, but compliance will be reviewed with building
permit.
The City has noted with previous developments that LP siding can be used to meet the front
elevation requirements. The intent of this section appears to be to provide some variety in
the number and quality of the materials used on the front elevation.
The applicant would like to clarify that these requirements do not preclude two homes from
using the same color and type of roofing products adjacent to one another, but it does ensure
that the combination of colors for roofing, siding, trim, etc. are not exactly the same neighbor
to neighbor. We agree and find that the limited options for roofing materials and colors make
matching materials adjacent to each other acceptable provided the elevation and other
material types and colors are not the same as the adjacent single family home. In the
twinhome/townhome development in the southeast corner, the applicant has asked for some
flexibility from these standards. The applicant notes that it is very common and often desired
to have twinhomes with a more consistent appearance and they are requesting an exemption
from these provisions for twinhomes. We agree that more consistency between these types
of units may be desirable, but staff believes that some variety between these units is still
possible and desirable.
B. Garages:
1. The garage shall not comprise more than 55 percent of the viewable ground floor street-
facing linear building frontage. This standard is based on the measurement of the entire
garage structure and not on a measurement of the garage door or doors only. Corner lots are
2. Garage doors shall be architecturally styled (this includes details such as raised panels,
accent color, windows, etc.) to match the exterior design of the home.
The applicant has requested PUD flexibility from requirement that garages not comprise
more than 60% of the front of the single family home and not more than 70% of the
twinhome/townhome units. Staff finds that the small lots, combined with consumer demand
for large garages makes compliance more difficult. The applicant will comply with the other
design criteria designed to de-emphasize the garage and bring the garage into the home.
The garage doors shall be architecturally styled to match the exterior design of the home.
Staff recommends approval of this flexibility.
C. Roof:
1. Architectural design roofing materials including asphalt shingles, wood shingles (including
shake), concrete, clay, ceramic tile roofs or residential steel roofing material (with hidden
fasteners) are required on all roofs.
Sawgrass Preliminary Plat, Preliminary PUD Development Plan and Rezoning (14-027) 9
December 11, 2014
2. Overhangs must be a minimum of 12 inches.
Peachtree Partners, LLC. has committed to complying with these requirements.
D. Side and Rear Facades:
1. Equal architectural treatment on all sides of the building (materials, articulation, etc.) shall
be used for all new residential construction when located on or visible from an arterial road
way or public park. Accenting shall be accomplished by including accenting materials and
design on all facades.
2. Each side elevation shall have at least one window or door opening.
3. A maximum of 18 inches of the foundation wall may be exposed on any elevation.
Staff believes that the intent of D.1. is to ensure that the higher quality and variety of
materials on the front of the home be extended to the side and rear of the home when
located on or visible from an arterial road or public park. This development has several
homes that will be visible from the public park (across CR 10). The backs of these homes
will be very visible from the park and should be subject to a higher level of design.
The applicant believes that the ordinance language simply means that side and rear
elevations must be consistent with each other, but is not required to incorporate materials
and design elements from the front elevation. Furthermore, they believe that the proposed
berm along CR 10 will adequately screen the rear of the home.
• The Planning Commission found that regardless of the berm and landscaping
proposed, the homes that are visible from a public park must have upgraded side
and rear elevations as required by ordinance.
Homeowners Association
The development will have a homeowners association (HOA) to maintain the common elements,
including the open space areas, development signage and cul de sac/island plantings. Additionally,
the association maintained homes planned for the southeast corner of the site would likely have a
sub-association to provide full maintenance of the home exterior, including mowing and plowing. A
draft of the HOA documents has been submitted. A final draft of the HOA documents shall be
submitted for City review and approval with the final PUD development plan application for phase I.
Parking
Guest parking is not required for single family homes. Section 1060.060 of the ordinance requires a
single stall garage for single family homes. The proposed homes would have a minimum of a two-
car garage. This complies with ordinance requirements.
However, if multi-family housing is ultimately proposed in the southeast portion of the site, some
guest parking may be required. We will review this issue when a PUD final plan is submitted for that
portion of the site.
Sawgrass Preliminary Plat, Preliminary PUD Development Plan and Rezoning (14-027) 10
December 11, 2014
The local streets within the subdivision are 28 feet wide streets within a 50-foot right-of-way. This is
adequate to accommodate on-street parking on one side. This is consistent with the City’s
engineering design standards and should be adequate to provide guest parking in the other
neighborhoods. The developer should provide a parking plan for on-street and off-street parking
throughout the development. At the time of building permit submittal, the developer should also
provide a graphic to confirm that the driveways in front of the homes have a minimum driveway
length of 22-feet to accommodate parking in front of the garages.
The City requires all streets to be public. The developer has requested the flexibility to allow private
streets in the association maintained housing area. Staff recommends that a public street be
provided for the proposed twinhome development. However, private drives are very common in
townhome developments and staff recommends that the issue be discussed in more detail with the
final plan for that area. Staff finds that private streets can be acceptable if appropriate design
standards and maintain agreements are developed.
No direct driveway access and no parking will be permitted on County Road 10.
Landscaping
The City has no tree preservation requirements. The City does encourage preservation of
significant trees particularly those shown on the natural resource inventory. The applicant has
completed a tree survey of the more than 8,000 significant trees on site. The current development
proposal preserves 44.6% of the significant trees.
Section 1060.070 of the Zoning Ordinance requires 1 overstory tree for each single family home and
a variety of landscaping along the perimeter of the site, along the streets, within the private park and
adjacent to wetlands. The applicant is proposing to plant more than 1,600 new trees in this
development. Each new home will be required to plant a minimum of 3 trees on their property and
the developer will be installing street trees and trees in the open space areas.
The plan shows overstory trees along each of the public streets and additional plantings at the
project entries off County Road 10. This is generally consistent with the ordinance requirements;
however, the developer should provide more detail about the landscaping plan, including the cul de
sac island plantings. Staff recommends that the developer provide a revised landscaping plan that
identifies the number, location, species and plant size to ensure compliance with the ordinance.
Additionally, care should be given to provide a variety of trees species to ensure protection against
disease and insects. This detailed plan must be submitted for City review and approval as part of
the final PUD development plan.
Signage
Chapter 84 of the City Code regulates signage. Residential developments are allowed two
development signs at the main entrance, not to exceed 32 square feet in area or 6 feet in height.
One sign not to exceed 16 square feet may be allowed at a secondary entrance. PUD flexibility is
requested to exceed these signage limits as described in the applicant’s narrative. The preliminary
PUD development plans show 2 monument signs at the main entrance on County Road 10 plus a
median monument and 1 sign at the western entrance off County Road 10. The sign plans show an
Sawgrass Preliminary Plat, Preliminary PUD Development Plan and Rezoning (14-027) 11
December 11, 2014
18 square foot sign on a larger base with decorative elements for the main entry monuments and a
median monument with approximately 10 square feet of sign area. A sign detail has been provided
as an example, but no specific details have been provided.
The developer has requested approval of the following PUD flexibility, which reflects more and large
signs than shown on the submitted Preliminary Sign Plan exhibit (staff’s recommendation is after
each item):
• Up to three signs allowed at each entrance. One on each side and one in the median as
applicable.
• Agreed
• Sign area is measured by drawing a box around the lettering and shall not exceed 80 sq. ft.
per entrance. Individual signs may not exceed 40 sq. ft.
• Total signage at the main entrance shall not exceed 80 sq. ft. Individual
monument signs shall not exceed 40 sq. ft.
• Total signage at the second entrance shall not exceed 40 sq. ft. Individual
monument signs shall not exceed 20 square feet.
• Signs may be located adjacent to the right of way (ROW) and in the case of signs in the
median signs may be located in the ROW.
• Median signs may be located in the right-of-way, provided the applicant provides
an exhibit showing that sight visibility is maintained.
• Monument signs must comply with the minimum 10-foot setback and be located
outside of the sight visibility triangle.
• Uplighting that does not glare onto adjacent property will be allowed. Illuminated and/or
backlit lettering will be allowed.
• The ordinance requires that any illumination of such signs must be external with
downward focused lighting on a timer. While we believe our sign ordinance standards
are very restrictive, we believe that prohibiting uplighting is a valid restriction as such
lighting can be distracting to motorists and residents. Staff supports the illuminated
and/or backlit lettering requested and the downward focused lighting. Lighting must
comply with the standards in Section 1060.040 and glare, whether direct or reflected,
shall not be visible beyond the limits of the site from which it originates.
• Signs and related structures will be allowed up to 12’ in height.
• Monument signs shall not exceed 8 feet in height, however, median monuments may
be allowed up to 11 feet tall.
Additionally, the Parks and Trails Commission indicated a desire for trailhead signage that would be
provided generally where the trails cross public streets. These provide good wayfinding through the
neighborhood, but the developer must work with City staff to ensure that the trail signage is
consistent with City standards.
Staff recommends that the developer submit a master signage plan with sign details for design
review by the Planning Commission and City Council prior to approval of the final PUD development
plan.
Utilities
Sawgrass Preliminary Plat, Preliminary PUD Development Plan and Rezoning (14-027) 12
December 11, 2014
Municipal sewer and water are not currently available to the site and would need to be extended to
service the property prior issuance of building permits.
The City Engineer has completed a feasibility study to show how sanitary sewer and municipal water
could be extended to the site. The City of Corcoran has indicated that the cost to extend municipal
utilities to a property should be borne by the property developer. At this time those final costs are
unknown, but staff has developed an estimate of those costs with a feasibility study. All
improvements within the site will be completed by the developer. All off-site improvements will be
completed by the City and financed by the developer.
City policy also requires the developer to extend sanitary sewer and water stubs to the property
boundaries to allow future extension to surrounding properties. These surrounding properties would
not be required to hook up to sewer and water at this time, but it is common practice for the
developer to extend utilities to the property line to allow for future extensions. The cost to extend the
utilities to the property line would be borne by the developer.
Wetlands
The developer completed a MNRAM for the wetlands on site and the City engineer has confirmed
that they are a mix of medium and high quality wetlands. Many of these wetlands have been
impacted by farming over the years, but retain their higher rankings due to their proximity to the
creek.
Wetland mitigation is proposed and is subject to review and approval from the Elm Creek Watershed
Management Commission. The ECW MC is the LGU for the Wetland Conservation Act.
All wetlands and buffers must be blanketed by a drainage and utility easement. The applicant has
requested PUD flexibility to allow alternative wetland buffers and setbacks in compliance with
Section 1050.010, Subd. 6 of the Zoning Ordinance. The ordinance allows the City to approve
these alternative buffers when “because of the unique physical characteristics of a specific parcel of
land, narrower buffer strips may be necessary to allow for a reasonable use of land”. In this case,
staff finds that the alternative wetland buffers are appropriate because the wetland are generally
located in the open space corridor, which would serve a similar function to a wetland buffer.
However, in exchange for this flexibility, the City does require the developer to provide extraordinary
management practices, as outlined in the City Zoning Ordinance.
The plans note that an average buffer of 25 feet is proposed, but the actual buffers must be
dimensioned on the plans. The plans appear to be generally consistent with the buffer
requirements. The plans must also identify the location of the wetland buffer monument signs in
compliance with the ordinance.
Wetland Impacts
The plan shows a number of trails located within the wetland buffer. Although the ordinance does
allow trails in the wetland buffer setback area, it is silent on the concept of trails in the buffer itself.
The applicant notes that due to the location of wetlands and the size of the buffers, the impact to the
Sawgrass Preliminary Plat, Preliminary PUD Development Plan and Rezoning (14-027) 13
December 11, 2014
buffers could not be avoided. To offset the impacts created by the trail being located in the buffer,
the applicant increased the amount of buffer area in an amount equal to the impact. As noted by the
developer, this ultimately allows the trail to be located in the open space away from homes and
provides for a great trail experience.
• Given that the buffers are primarily located in the common areas, the developer has
requested some trails within the buffer areas. The Parks and Trails Commission
reviewed this request and recommends approval of this flexibility.
Floodplain
There are approximately 3 acres of floodplain on the property. There are no impacts to the 100 year
floodplain and the floodplain does not impact any home sites. The proposed ponds are located
outside the floodplain. The portion of the trail meanders in and out of the 500 year flood plain will be
elevated above the flood elevation.
Shoreland
The western portion of the property includes land in the Shoreland Overly District. The applicant is
requesting PUD flexibility from the Shoreland Overlay District due to the unique characteristics of the
property. The shoreland overlay district is for the creek that meanders through the site. The
applicant’s narrative does an excellent job of outlining the issues, request and mitigating factors:
• Impervious Surface. The developer has done an excellent job of retaining open space
next to the portion of the creek that is on the subject property. This open space will
mitigate any impacts from the planned homes. Staff recommends approval of the PUD
flexibility to allow more than 25% impervious surface coverage per lot in this area based
on the finding that the total impervious surface coverage in this area will not exceed 25%.
There is another portion of the site that is in the shoreland overly district for the creek that
is located on the other side of County Road 10. Because all of this property is separated
from the creek by County Road 10 and all drainage will flow north away from the creek,
staff supports the PUD flexibility to waive the shoreland requirements for this area as
well.
• Building Height. The shoreland overlay district restricts building height to 25 feet, but we
support the staff request to allow 35-foot building heights as allowed in areas outside the
shoreland district. None of the homes are riparian lots and this is not a navigable
waterway, so the impact would be negligible.
• Lot Width. The ordinance requires a 75-foot minimum lot width. The applicant is
requesting lots as small as 55 feet wide. Staff supports this request because the planned
development will preserve approximately 40 acres (38% of the site) as permanent open
space and has included stormwater management techniques within the development to
ensure protection of the shoreland areas.
Sawgrass Preliminary Plat, Preliminary PUD Development Plan and Rezoning (14-027) 14
December 11, 2014
• Setback. The ordinance requires a 50-foot setback from County Roads. The lots would
be separated from the County road by an outlot so this condition would not apply. We
support the setbacks approved as part of the PUD.
Storm Water Management
The proposed plan identifies a number of ponds throughout the site. The ponding must provide
treatment and rate control. The developer may not increase the rate of runoff onto other properties
and existing drainage through the site must be maintained. The developer’s plan is generally in
compliance with these regulations. The City and the watershed will both review the grading plans
for compliance with the applicable regulations.
The ponds will need to be blanketed by drainage and utility easements.
The developer has provided 10-foot drainage and utility easements along the front and rear lot lines
and 5-foot drainage and utility easements along the side lot lines for the single family lots. This is
consistent with the engineering design standards.
Off Site Storm water Management
The developer and the City are working with the adjacent property owners to the north to address
the existing off-site drainage issues as part of this development. The area to the north has a
significant floodplain and the floodplain will not be altered due to impacts of the project.
Historical City storm water maps had shown a northwest ditch route for the site’s easterly wetland.
The 1971 aerial photo is given in Attachment C, however current topography shows this route is no
longer feasible. The changes to the landscape from houses / tree canopy / farming practices over
the last 40 years has created a situation where a northerly flow path is more dominant in the current
condition.
To mitigate the impact of more volume of runoff, the City has been in contact with the residents to
the north who have expressed a willingness to participate in a solution so the development’s outlet
of the large Sawgrass wetland does not exacerbate existing conditions.
Therefore, the City will work with the residents and developer to implement a conveyance solution.
Elm Creek Watershed will be reviewing plans and as the LGU also should issue wetland permits that
will be pursued under a “No Loss”.
Financing will be at the developer’s expense, and implementing an offsite solution assumes the
northerly landowners continue to cooperate. The City Engineer’s memo includes more detail and
compliance with recommendations in that memo is a condition of approval.
Streets
A traffic study was completed by the City as part of the feasibility study and is discussed in the City
Engineer’s report.
Sawgrass Preliminary Plat, Preliminary PUD Development Plan and Rezoning (14-027) 15
December 11, 2014
The City is working with Hennepin County to realign the CR10/CR 50 intersection near this site. The
developer will be responsible for a share of these improvements.
The remainder of the local streets within the development are shown with tree-lined boulevards and
landscaped islands in the cul de sacs. These local streets are 28 feet wide and located in 50-foot
rights-of-way, which are generally consistent with the City Engineering Design Standards.
The landscaped islands provide an attractive amenity for the development, reduce impervious
surface coverage and can provide opportunities for snow storage. The developer should provide
more detailed information about the proposed landscaping within the islands. As noted with the
Ravinia subdivision, staff believes that the landscaping islands are an amenity and could become a
standard for the City, but should be monitored as the City takes over responsibility for snowplowing
these public streets in the future.
Hennepin County transportation has received a copy of the proposed plat and has indicated that
they will provide comments, but the City has not yet received these comments. We expect to be
able to provide an update at the City Council meeting, but the engineer’s memo includes several
items that we expect the County to require based on conversations with staff. Typically, the County
has required additional right-of-way along County Road 10 and we expect this to be a condition of
approval. The narrative notes that a 40-foot ½ right-of-way is proposed to be dedicated, but it must
be clearly dimensioned on the preliminary plat and plans.
Access
As noted in the previous section, the main access to the site would be from County Road 10 near
the center of the site, with a secondary access off County Road 10 near the western border of the
site.
Additionally, the applicant has provided street stubs to the Gleason property this property surrounds,
as well as stubs to the north and east as required. The road in the northeast portion of the site will
be used to access the lift station and an easement to provide the sewer connection to CR 116 may
also be graded and graveled to provide an emergency vehicle access; however, final design will
occur with easement negotiations.
Lighting
Decorative streetlights are proposed throughout the development and generally appear to comply
with the City policies. The streetlights would need to comply with the requirements of Section
1040.040 of the Zoning Ordinance and the Engineering Design Standards. The developer must
work with the City to develop standards and revise the plans as needed to provide street lighting.
Parks, Trails and Open Space
Under the current ordinance, park dedication is required at 11% of the net pre-development area or
11% of the appraised value of the land for developments like this with between 3-5 units per acre.
The City should generally accept park dedication in the form of land where shown on the maps;
however, the City may choose to accept cash or a combination of cash and land. The City may
Sawgrass Preliminary Plat, Preliminary PUD Development Plan and Rezoning (14-027) 16
December 11, 2014
accept cash-in-lieu of land at 11% of the value of the land with a maximum rate of $4,000 per unit for
each new unit located inside of the MUSA (Metropolitan Urban Service Area). The applicant has
provided an appraisal report that shows the land value at $2,893,000.
In this case, the plat shows 90.45 pre-development net acres, which would require:
• Park dedication of 9.95 net acres (90.45 x 11%);
• Cash in lieu of land of $318,230 ($2,893,000 x 11%); or
• Some combination of land and cash.
The applicant is showing a series of sidewalks and trails throughout the site. The Comprehensive
Plan includes the 2030 Parks & Trails Plan shows an off-road trail on the north side of the site
winding through the site and connecting to the existing City park. The plan is generally consistent
with these trail locations. The applicant has done a good job of preserving the natural areas shown
on the Comprehensive Plan as open space and 38% of the site (approximately 40 acres) is
preserved as permanent open space.
The plans show 1.3 miles of trail and 2.0 miles of sidewalk within this development. The trail
locations shown on the plans are generally consistent with the adopted parks plans. However, the
trail connection two County Road 10 is shifted east from the adopted plan to the project entrance.
From a safety standpoint, this makes sense. However, staff notes that the new trail connection is
next to a street rather than in an off-road location. The current location of the trail connection to
County Road 10 is a trail in lieu of a sidewalk.
• The Parks and Trails Commission recommended that this segment of trail be dedicated to
the City and that park dedication credit be given, but that the developer is responsible for
paving this segment of trail without reimbursement.
• The Parks and Trails Commission also recommended that the future shown on the west side
of the project be deed as a trail easement, but that no park dedication credit is granted and
no improvements made because the final alignment of the trail may change as surrounding
properties develop.
Sawgrass Preliminary Plat, Preliminary PUD Development Plan and Rezoning (14-027) 17
December 11, 2014
Park dedication shall only be granted for trail easement areas as shown on the Comprehensive Plan
and will not be given for trails located within public right-of-way. The developer is required to provide
finished grading and ground cover for all park, playground, trail and public open spaces within their
developments. No credit toward the required dedication shall be given for this work.
• The trail locations are generally consistent with the locations shown on the Comprehensive
Plan, but the Commission should review and comment.
• If credit is given for the 20-foot trail easement over all trails as shown by the developer, that
would be 2.88 acres or 28.97% (2.88/9.95) of the required park dedication for this project
(2.93 acres would actually be dedicated, but as noted above, no credit will be given for the
western portion).
• Park dedication due on this site would be $318,230 if all in cash. However, if credit is given
for the trails, the area of the trails would satisfy 28.97% of the park dedication requirement,
leaving 71.03% of the dedication due in land or approximately $226,039.
• The Parks and Trails Commission recommended that the full park dedication amount be paid
with the 2nd phase of development.
• Staff recommends that the City work with the developer to schedule the park dedication
payments and timing of the credit to be given for paving the trails. The reimbursement
amount could be approximately $95,355 (based on $15/lf paving costs described by the
developer in the narrative), which would result in a net contribution of approximately
$130,684 (the developer has a slightly different number in his narrative and the actual
number would be finalized with the final plat).
The Parks & Trails Plan also shows an on-road trail on County Road 10. The City is currently
working with Hennepin County on the road realignment options and will evaluate this trail as part of
the transportation study and ongoing CR 10 design.
Five-foot wide sidewalks are required to be provided on one side of each public street. Generally
the plans show compliance with these requirements; however, the plans shall be revised to show
these sidewalks to ensure connections throughout the entire development. Specifically:
• The sidewalk locations should be extended through the association maintained
neighborhood planned in the southeast corner of the site.
o The applicant has suggested that, depending on the product type provided, they may
request approval of a private street here. Regardless, of whether this is approved
with a public or private street, staff believes that this sidewalk connection is important
and has included this as a condition of approval.
• To that end, we recommend that the sidewalk be moved to the south side of Street F so that
this neighborhood cannot connect to the sidewalk system without a mid-block crossing. The
Parks and Trails Commission did not feel strongly about this issue, but we have added a
condition that the final location be determined with staff prior to approval of the final plat.
• We also recommend that the sidewalk extension be shown on the stub street off the east
side of the Street F cul de sac for a future sidewalk connection.
Natural Resource Corridor
This natural resource corridor is shown as preserved with a trail corridor. The City’s Comprehensive
Plan encourages preservation of this corridor but does not recommend the land be taken as public
Sawgrass Preliminary Plat, Preliminary PUD Development Plan and Rezoning (14-027) 18
December 11, 2014
park. Staff recommends that the land be preserved and owned/maintained by the Homeowners
Association.
Community Park
A public park to serve as the neighborhood park exists across County Road 10. This is defined in
the Parks Plan as a community park, but will also serve the neighborhood park needs of the
neighborhood, as noted by the Parks and Trails Commission in March. Good access is provided to
this park and the playground by the planned trail and sidewalk connections. Our Comprehensive
Plan says that neighborhood parks should be within ½ mile of residents. The applicant has provided
an exhibit showing that all homes within this development would be within this ½ mile radius of the
existing playground and most would be within ¼ mile.
PUD Flexibility Standards
In addition to the PUD flexibilities already outlined above, the developer has asked the City to
consider an additional set of PUD flexibility standards that would allow some ability to modify the
plan without a complete PUD amendment if the modifications fall with certain parameters. This
would give them the ability to respond to changes in the marketplace and needs of different builders.
The City has the ability to approve these flexibilities as part of the PUD and incorporate them into a
development contract. Specifically:
1. Open Space – The total amount of open space will not be reduced by more than 2.5% or 1
acre from the amount shown in the approved PUD.
2. Development Footprint - Total development footprint as identified by street right-of-way and
total lotted area cannot increase by more than 1 acre.
3. Wetland Buffer - At all times we will not reduce the amount of wetland buffer provided.
4. Storm Water - Storm water treatment areas may be modified, provided that the overall
treatment standards are still equal to are greater than the standards approved with the
Preliminary Plat.
5. Trails – Any plan must generally provide an east-west and north-south trail link as approved
with the PUD Preliminary Plan and while the location of trails may be slightly adjusted the
overall locations and length of trails will be honored.
6. Entrance Location(s) - Main entrance location off CR 10 will remain unchanged.
7. Total Units – The total units cannot be less than 235 (3.34 units /acre) and more than 275
(3.91 units/acre) without amending the PUD.
8. Association Maintained Housing –Blocks 20, 21 and Outlot O must be maintained and
actively marketed for association maintained housing until the final phase is approved. If at
that time with active marketing this has not sold, this area may be platted as single family.
Sawgrass Preliminary Plat, Preliminary PUD Development Plan and Rezoning (14-027) 19
December 11, 2014
9. Housing Types– Housing/Lot types may change without amending the PUD so long as they
meet the approved PUD lot standards.
10. Private Streets – If townhomes are added to the PUD private streets will be allowed, if
needed, in the townhome areas to accommodate that housing type.
11. Lots and Blocks - Lots sizes may change within the limits approved, however, blocks as
arranged need to stay generally consistent with approved Preliminary PUD and Plat.
Staff finds that the proposed PUD flexibility provides the City assurances that the general
development concept will be maintained while the developer the flexibility to respond to the
marketplace. This is particularly important for the association maintained area planned for the
southeast portion of the site, but may be applicable in other areas. If the City approves this
flexibility, the only change staff would recommend is that number 10 be changed to say that private
streets MAY be allowed.
• This concept of PUD flexibility standards is new to the City and unique to the project.
The Commission should comment on this proposal.
Preliminary Plat
The applicant is requesting approval of a preliminary plat to allow the creation of 246 homes on this
103.32-acre site. The proposed development would have a net density (post-development) of
approximately 3.5 units per acre. This is consistent with the land use plan, which would allow a
density of 3-5 units per acre.
Lot Size
The PUD district has no minimum standards for lot size; however, the proposed development would
comply with the density requirements permitted by the PUD.
Development Phasing
The developer plans to develop this project in 3 phases. The developer would like to begin work in
2015. Timing will be contingent upon extension of public infrastructure. The phasing plan may be
modified at each stage to better correspond with public improvements.
The Zoning Ordinance requires that construction begin within 1 year of the rezoning to PUD (which
will occur with approval of the final PUD development plan for Phase I, except that the City Council
may extend this time period for 1 additional year and the Subdivision Ordinance requires submittal of
a final plat application within 1 year of preliminary plat approval unless otherwise approved by the
City Council). Due the infrastructure issues, the City Council may wish to extend this approval to the
full 2 years from the date of approval.
Through the PUD process, the City has the legal authority to negotiate a phasing plan with the
developer. The City does not have this same authority with standard zoning. The Council may
approve the attached phasing plan. The phasing plan would be subject to the above standards in
Sawgrass Preliminary Plat, Preliminary PUD Development Plan and Rezoning (14-027) 20
December 11, 2014
the sense that the final plat for the 1st phase of development must be submitted within 2 years. This
initial final plat will include all of the property, but phases 2 and 3 will likely be shown as outlots. The
City Council may want to approve the attached phasing plan to ensure an understanding of the
project timing. Obviously, the phasing schedule is the developer’s best estimate and is subject to
change depending on market conditions and infrastructure timing.
Staff recommends that all of the right-of-way for County Road 10 be dedicated with the first final plat.
C. Conclusions
Staff finds that the proposed plan is generally consistent with the Comprehensive Plan and Zoning
Ordinance. The plan for single family homes provides many of the essential public components of
the Comprehensive Plan, including open spaces, tree-lined streets and strong pedestrian
connections. These features can establish the public realm of the neighborhood and provide a
unique sense of place.
The developer is requesting PUD flexibility for:
• Reduced lot sizes (area and width),
• Reduced setbacks,
• Signage (sign area and number),
• Flexibility from the architectural design standards, regarding garages,
• Alternative wetland buffers,
• Trails located within the buffer,
• Shoreland Overlay District flexibility related to lot coverage, lot width, setbacks and building
height.
In return for this flexibility, the developer is providing:
• HOA-maintained permanent open space (38% of the site),
• HOA-maintained landscaping in the cul de sac islands and entry monument,
• A restored urban forest with more than 1,620 new trees,
• Decorative street lighting,
• Sidewalks all public streets,
• Dedication of a trail easement on the west side of the property without park dedication credit
• Paving of the entry trail at no cost,
• Preservation/restoration/enhancement of wetlands,
• Financing of trunk infrastructure improvements, including a lift station in the project and
improvements to County Road 10,
• Life-cycle housing opportunities with single family detached homes and some association
maintained housing planned.
Staff has reviewed the plan for consistency with the applicable standards outlined in the
Comprehensive Plan, Zoning Ordinance and Subdivision Ordinance. Staff noted in the staff report
the outstanding that must be addressed and we have included conditions in the attached draft
resolutions to address these issues.

APPROVING FINDINGS OF FACT FOR REZONING OF "SAWGRASS" FOR PEACHTREE
PARTNERS, LLC ON THE 103 -ACRE SCHENDEL PROPERTY AT 20400 COUNTY ROAD 10
PID 23- 119 -23 -42 -0003) (CITY FILE 14 -027)
WHEREAS, Peachtree Partners, LLC ( "the applicant') has requested approval of a rezoning
from Urban Reserve (UR) and RMF -3 (High Density Residential) to PUD (planned unit
development) for a 103.32 -acre parcel legally described as follows:
See Attachment A
WHEREAS, the Planning Commission has reviewed the request at a duly called Public Hearing
and recommends approval, and;
WHEREAS, the City Council has adopted an ordinance rezoning the affected parcel from Urban
Reserve (UR) and RMF -3 (High Density Residential) to PUD;
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT HEREBY RESOLVED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF
CORCORAN, MINNESOTA, that it should and hereby does support the request by Peachtree
Partners, LLC for the reclassification of the zoning from UR and RMF -3 to PUD for the 103-32 -
acre property, based on the following findings:
The planned unit development is not in conflict with the Comprehensive Plan. The
proposed density of 3.5 units per acre is within the 3 -5 units per acre expected in the
Low Density Residential land use classification and the plan incorporates the trail,
infrastructure and street connections anticipated within in the site.
2. The planned development of 246 single family homes is consistent with the intent of an
underlying RSF -3 zoning district, which allows a mix of single and two - family homes.
The applicant is requesting approval of PUD zoning for design flexibility to provide a mix
of lot sizes for this neighborhood at a density consistent with the Comprehensive Plan.
3. The development is not in conflict with other applicable provisions of the zoning
ordinance, except that PUD flexibility is requested as noted in the staff report. In
exchange for this flexibility, the developer will provide both internal infrastructure needed
to support their development and trunk infrastructure improvements that will serve a
larger development area and well as increased amenities and better neighborhood
design than might be expected in a standard subdivision.
4. The planned development is feasible without dependence upon any other subsequent
phase. The project has a 3 -5 year phasing plan and development is contingent upon
completion of trunk infrastructure improvements. The initial phase will include the
construction of the primary project infrastructure, lift station and other key public
infrastructure improvement.
Page 1 of 4

County of Hennepin
State of Minnesota
RESOLUTION NO. 2014 -74
December 11, 2014
5. The planned development will not create an excessive burden on parks, schools, streets
and other public facilities and utilities which serve or are proposed to serve the planned
development. The developer is providing public trails consistent with the City's
Comprehensive Plan and a strong pedestrian connection to the existing City park. The
development includes the construction of all public infrastructure needed to serve this
site at the developer's expense.
6. The planned development is a residential neighborhood developed consistent with the
Comprehensive Plan and, therefore, will not have an undue and adverse impact on the
reasonable enjoyment of the neighborhood property.
7. The quality of the site design proposed by the PUD shall substantially enhance the
aesthetics of the site, install and provide more efficient use of streets, utilities and public
facilities than may otherwise be expected and create public benefit that is greater than
would otherwise be achieved due to the construction and financing of all related
infrastructure improvements. The development will meet the City's density goals while
preserving 38% of the site as preserved open space maintained by the homeowner's
association (much of it wetland and ponding areas, but wooded areas and public trails
as well).
8. Adequate infrastructure is available to serve this site if the conditions of PUD preliminary
plan and preliminary plat are met.

Subject: Hackamore Turn Lanes @ Ravinia
Council Action Requested
Authorize staff to finalize design and obtain quotes.
Background
The Ravinia development will connect to Hackamore to provide a second access for either
construction or residential traffic. Staff is restarting the discussions with Medina on schedule
and extent of improvements and potential cost sharing.
Turn Lane
One improvement for Hackamore will be a west bound turn lane to enter the development
from Hackamore. Since the Medina discussions and agreement will be over the next few
years, the turn lane is a stand alone improvement to improve safety and traffic flow.
Quote vs. Bid
Per municipal statute, a project less than $100K can use the quote process which excludes
the cost of public bidding and contracting process. Wenck estimates the turn lane under
$100K (approx.$60K to $75K) therefore the quotes will be distributed to multiple
contractors to fulfill the legal requirements.
Water Connection
Medina has requested a discussion of connecting water main across Hackamore for each
City to share a redundant supply in case of maintenance or emergency. This will also be
part of the staff discussions.
Schedule
The project has been broken into identifiable steps to move forward with a second entrance
into Ravinia while the City discussions are underway. The schedule is as follows:
2017 – (Summer) Turn lane construction entering Ravinia
2017 – (December) Finalize design extents with Medina
2018—Finalize cost sharing agreement with Medina and complete design
2019—Construct improvements
Funding
The original PUD required $1.1M contribution from Lennar, of which $825K has been
deposited with City, and remaining $275K will be deposited in 2017.

To: Brad Martens, City Administrator
From: Kent Torve, PE
Date: February 16, 2017
Subject: Western Water Loop Feasibility Study
Council Action Requested
Review the scope of work and modify, or authorize staff to initiate the Feasibility Study.
0.0 Background
The buildout of the City’s water system is ongoing, and an important step in extending
water is to “loop” the systems for redundancy (flow from two directions) which helps fire
flows and dynamic water pressure.
Wenck is in the process of updating the water model to represent the Ravinia and
Downtown extensions. In 2016, pressure tests were taken on the existing system for the
recent ISO review. These results verified the model and the updated model will also show
the effect of a booster system.
1.0 Trunk Watermain Routes
The original trunk plans called for extending trunk water from St. Thomas location, south
along CSAH 116 to 66th Ave. One beneficial modification has been the Downtown Project
used 12-inch along Commerce and 75th, so the trunk system is completed to 75th Street and
CSAH 116. This route saved considerable cost by upsizing an 8-inch. Trunk system is shown
on attached Figure.
The route analysis includes:
Requesting private utility locates
Survey the route alignments
Analyze complexities and provide cost estimates
Aerial review (desktop) for wetland areas
Estimating easement costs based on CR101 watermain and Downtown Projects.
Alternate 1
This route analysis will look at cost and route complexities involved with installing the
trunk line on the north and east boundary of Olde Sturbridge Development.
Alternate 1A
This route analysis will look at entering the development and installing under Olde
Sturbridge Drive, which would allow adjacent houses to utilize the watermain. Cost
analysis will be expanded for street reconstruction costs to estimate assessments.
Analysis for sewer is not included.

2.0 Pressure, Fire Flow and Booster Station
The water model output will show the effect of “boosting” to a pressure equal to the future
downtown water tower, and the options for locations of the station. The booster system is
required for a tower and would provide equivalent pressures prior to the tower being built.
Figures showing “No Loop” and “With Loop” water pressures and fire flows
Show potential booster station locations.
o The optimal location is optimal near the connection with Maple Grove
(Schommer or Rich’s Acres) property.
3.0 Cost and Funding
The study is funded by the water utility and cost is broken out as follows:
Survey-- $3,000 (also used in future design)
Watermain Route and Booster Location--$3,500
o Alternate A and A1—Olde Sturbridge Routes $2,500
Model summary and updated results -- $2,000
o Total $11,000
4.0 Deliverable and Schedule
The report will summarize routes, pressure conditions, fire flows and costs. The study will
be delivered for an April Council meeting discussion.

Contingency $2,000 $0 $0 $0
Sub-total $50,500 $59,217
Total $438,718 $428,164
2017
Changes:
Police Squad:
o Costs have increased more than anticipated making our anticipated
purchase cost increase by $3,000 to $45,000; however resale on the
newer SUV’s have been more than anticipated decreasing the overall cost
by $1,000.
Police Support/protection equipment:
o Staff had an opportunity to lock in old pricing before the yearly increase
and purchased three radios instead of the projected two for 2017.
Public Works Used Water Truck:
o The original plan was to purchase a tank to fit in the dump truck
purchased in 2016, the cost of $9,329 was included in the original request
for 2016. After additional research, spray bars and a pump were also
needed which would have added another $10,000 to the purchase which
staff believed to be too high (this is the reason the dump truck purchase in
2016 was $10,000 less than anticipated).
o Staff has the opportunity to purchase a used water truck from the City of
Wayzata for $9,000 (negotiated price) which would be half the cost of
upgrading the dump truck.
o Water tanker is used for flooding rinks, watering gravel roads, hauling
waste water out of Public Works wash bay, watering ditches after seeding,
and watering paved roads while street sweeping; a truck was rented for a
week in 2016 for the cost of $2,000.
Financial/Budget:
The overall changes recommended to the 2016/2017 CIP results in a total anticipated
two year cost of $428,164 which is $10,554 less than projected in February 2016.
Funding is from the CIP fund.

Summary:
On November 21, 2016 staff presented the Council with information recommending a
Fire Service Study for the City of Corcoran. As a result of that presentation, staff was

Staff incorporated feedback provided by the Council on the November 21, 2016 meeting
and drafted the attached request for proposals for a Fire Service Comprehensive
Growth Plan to serve the City moving forward. If there is additional information that the
Council would like to see incorporated into the plan, staff can make those changes prior

be very beneficial for the City. Those contacted about the study estimated that the cost
would be in the $15,000-$25,000 range. The more items added to the study, the higher
the cost will be.

Overview
The City of Corcoran, Minnesota is seeking qualified consultants to provide proposals for a Fire
Service Comprehensive Growth Plan in order to ensure the efficient delivery of fire services in
the community as it grows. Corcoran is located in northwestern Hennepin County on the edge of
the Minneapolis/St. Paul metropolitan area and is currently home to approximately 5,500
residents residing in varying degrees of density over 36 square miles. Current growth forecasts

plan is to review existing fire service delivery and provide the City with recommendations for
future fire department contract considerations, facilities (including locations), infrastructure,
equipment, and staffing; each with corresponding growth trigger points. The plan will also
incorporate operating and capital financial planning recommendations.

department staff directly.

Hanover Fire Department is a volunteer municipal fire department located in the City of
