Meeting Date: January 16, 2018
To: Planning Commission
From: Brad Martens, City Administrator
Re: Chairperson and Vice-Chairperson Election
______________________________________________________________________
Annually the Parks and Trails Commission must elect a Chairperson and Vice-
Chairperson from among its appointed members to run its meetings. Both of these
positions are for a term of one year. The 2017 Chairperson was Tom Anderson and the
Vice-Chairperson was Trish Krueger.
Although the City Code states that the commission shall "elect" a chairperson, it does
not define how that process happens. Staff recommends the Parks and Trails
Commission use the motion, second, and vote process to select both the Cha irperson
and Vice-Chairperson.

RE: PUD Amendment for Ravinia 9th Addition (City File 17-042)
120-DAY REVIEW: March 10, 2018
1.Application Request
The Parks and Trails Commission should review and make a recommendation on the requested
PUD amendment regarding landscaping.
2.Context
The City Council approved the Ravinia rezoning to PUD (Planned Unit Development), Preliminary
PUD Development Plan and Preliminary Plat on December 23, 2013.
The Final PUD Development Plan and Final Plat for Phase I was approved by City Council on April
24, 2014.
There have been eight phases of Ravinia granted final approval and several PUD amendments
since the 2014 approval.
3.Analysis of Request
The applicant has submitted a request for final PUD development plan and final plat approval for
Ravinia 9th Addition. As part of that request, they have requested a PUD amendment to modify the
approved landscape plan and standards.
Staff have been working with Lennar to correct several landscaping issues. We met with Lennar to
review the required corrections and notified them that the corrections must be completed in
spring/summer of 2018. The City will also require that Lennar’s Project Landscape Architect of
Record certify that all landscaping is installed per plan.
As part of that discussion, the Lennar’s team asked that the planting standards be modified. They
have submitted this PUD amendment with those requests and staff felt that it would be appropriate
for the Parks and Trails Commission to provide a recommendation on their requests. The Lennar
request is in italics below followed by the staff recommendation:
Agenda Item: 9a.
Ravinia 9th (city file 17-042) 2
January 16, 2018
1. We would like to remove gingkoes and sugar maples varieties from the approved planting
list. We are requesting to substitute elm varieties for ginkgoes and red maple varieties for
sugar maples. This is due to the fact that gingkoes in the required size are in limited supply
and the recent sugar maple harvests have not produced high quality specimens. Red maples
are out performing the sugar maples. Our landscape installers are also suggesting Patriot
Elms and Red Pointe Maples as substitutions.
Staff supports Approval of this item with the condition that tree diversity within the project
must still meet diversity standards per City Code. Section 1060.070 of the Zoning Ordinance
simply states, “No more than 33 percent of the required number of trees shall be of one
species.”
2. We are also asking consideration to modify the planting details. Our landscape architect and
installers feel that some of the standard notes, although common practice in 2013, are not
necessary any longer and there is no need to have them on the plans. It has been proven
that trees can be planted and survive well without adhering to the following:
a. Removed reference to tree wrap. It is no longer a standard practice.
Staff supports Approval of this item with Conditions. University of Minnesota
Extension continues to recommend tree wrap for, “young trees, newly planted trees,
and thin-barked trees… in order to prevent sub scald”. Tree wrap may be
implemented at the discretion of the Owner’s Project Landscape Architect of Record
with the caution that trees suffering sun scald at the end of the warranty period will be
subject to replacement or additional mitigation measures to correct the damage. City
approval of mitigation measures will be required if any are proposed.
b. Changed staking to an option at contractor discretion. Tree staking is not necessary.
Staff supports Approval of this item with Conditions. Tree staking is not required
unless necessary to maintain trees in a plumb condition where vandalism, soil or wind
conditions are a problem. Tree staking shall be maintained during warranty period
and removed after one year. Out of plumb trees shall be corrected in a timely manner
such that damage to the tree or public safety is avoided. Lack of attention to this
issue by the Owner or their representative in a timely manner will not release them
from correction of the issue if the tree becomes established in an out of plumb
condition.
c. Removed notes requiring inspection of root ball, but maintained note requiring tree to
be planted at the correct height, regardless of installation method used.
Staff supports Approval of this item with Conditions. Trees must continue to meet
industry standards for quality. ANSI A300 standards are the generally accepted
industry standards for tree care practices. American Standard for Nursery Stock
(ANSI Z60.1-2004) provides guidance related to terminology and measurements of
Ravinia 9th (city file 17-042) 3
January 16, 2018
nursery stock. Both are suitable reference standards in serving to define quality for
the purposes of this request.
d. Added notes allowing for contractor discretion in leaving twine and burlap in place if
biodegradable (must be followed up after 1 year to verify degradation has occurred).
We do use biodegradable burlap and twine and prefer not to have to remove it prior
to planting or on trees that have already been planted until 1 year has passed.
Staff recommends Denial of this request. The means and methods detailed on the
approved plans and specifications should remain. Rope, twine, burlap and wire
baskets must be removed per the approved plans and specifications. This is also
consistent with the City of Corcoran detail plates.
3. Modify original PUD Sub-Monument to smaller triangular “Modified PUD Sub-Monument.
Staff supports Approval of this item.
Landscaping is an important part of a healthy neighborhood and community and serves as the City’s
“green infrastructure”. Ensuring quality plantings and installation helps ensure long term survivability
of the trees and reducing long term maintenance costs. The Commission recommendations will be
shared with the City Council.
4. Recommendation
Move to recommend the approval of the staff recommendations.

2.Sign Ordinance Update (city file 17-033). The Council asked staff to bring back options for
increasing the amount of dynamic message boards allowed in the City. At the October 26th meeting,
the Council directed staff to schedule this item for a public hearing at the Planning Commission to

MEMORANDUM 2
7. Small Cell and DAS Ordinance Amendment (City file 17-039). Minnesota’s telecommunications
right-of-way user state law (SF1456), regarding small wireless facilities, was signed into law on May
30, 2017. It grants wireless service providers access to the public right-of-way to construct, maintain
and operate small wireless facilities and wireless support structures. Various sections of the city and
zoning code need to be amended to be consistent with state law. Staff will prepare a memo for

permit can be administratively approved.
Also, there are several 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

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. At that meeting, the City Council
approved a one year extension.
4. 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

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.
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. *Hennepin County weather station on Rush Creek Meadows City Park east of Cain Road (PID
11-119-23-22-0003) (City file 17-024). City staff has been discussing a possible County weather

0003) (City File 17-030). A certificate of compliance was required for an agricultural building. This
request was administratively approved.
10. Encroachment Agreement for 21729 County Road 10 (PID 16-119-23-31-0003) (City file 17-031).
Randy Olsen has requested approval of an encroachment agreement to construct a private driveway
in the unimproved right-of-way of King Ben Road. This request was administratively approved.
11. *Scherer – Jordan Plat at 6513 and 6603 Horseshoe Bend Road (PID 32-119-23-41-0020 and 32-
119-23-14-0023) (City file 17-032). The applicant has submitted a request approval of the preliminary
plat and final plat to adjust the lot line between the two properties. A variance is required because
neither property meets the minimum lot size standards in the UR zoning district. A vacation is required
for the drainage and utility easements along the existing lot line to be moved. The applicant has
withdrawn the request and escrow is being refunded.
12. Park Place Storage Phase 2 (City file 17-034). The Master Plan for Park Place Storage was
approved in 2016. The Council approved the entire project but noted that each phase would need to
submit for site plan approval. This was primarily a condition to ensure that all engineering issues were
adequately addressed for each phase. Phase I is under construction and the applicant has submitted
an application for administrative site plan approval for Phase 2 (to the south of Phase 1). The
application was administratively approved.
