TO: Corcoran Parks and Trails Commission FROM: Kevin Shay through Kendra Lindahl, Landform D ATE: May 22, 2018 for the May 29, 2018 Parks and Trails Commission Meeting RE: Rezoning, Preliminary Plat and Preliminary PUD for Fehn Meadows 2nd Addition (PID 03-119-23-13-0002) (City File 18-017) 60-DAY REVIEW: July 3, 2018 1.Application Request Chris Rains has submitted a request for a Rezoning, Preliminary Plat and Preliminary PUD for Fehn Meadows to create 14 new lots from an existing 62.7-acre parcel. 2.Context Zoning and Land Use The site is guided Rural/Ag Residential and zoned Rural Residential. Surrounding Properties The surrounding properties to the west, south and east are guided Rural/Ag Residential and zoned Rural Residential. The parcel to the north is located in Hassan Township. Natural Characteristics of the Site The 2040 Comprehensive Plan shows a medium quality wetland on the southern edge of the property that is classified as a shallow marsh and seasonally flooded basin. Various low-quality wetlands are located throughout the site. Wetland impacts are proposed to construct the street. Elm Creek Watershed Management Commission (ECWMC) reviewed and approved the wetland delineation during the first preliminary plat application. The applicant has submitted the application to ECWMC for review of the planned wetland impacts. The ECWMC review was not complete at the time of this report. The area shown as Outlot A is located in the Greenway Corridor. Portions of the south and west areas of the site are in the Floodplain Overlay District. The 100-year flood elevations are shown on the preliminary plat. 3.Analysis of Request The applicant is requesting approval of an OS&P (Open Space & Preservation) Plat as allowed by the Subdivision Ordinance. In exchange for preserving 25% of the site as open space the applicant Agenda Item: 8a. Preliminary Plat for Fehn Meadows 2nd Addition (City File 18-017) 2 May 29, 2018 is allowed a 200% increase in development rights. In this case, the developer is able to increase the number of development rights from 7 to 14. Additionally, the applicant is expected to meet as many of the following development design guidelines as possible: 1. Arrange lots around a central focal point such as: a. A central green, boulevard or square. b. A physical amenity such as a meadow, a stand of trees, a stream or water body, or some other natural feature. 2. Locate lots such that at least 50 percent of the lots within a neighborhood abut open space, or another amenity, on at least one side. A local street may separate lots from open space. 3. Preserve views from each building unit and from off-site vantage points to the maximum possible. 4. Locate neighborhood recreational open spaces such that they are an integral part of the neighborhood, are suitable for the projected demographic makeup of residents, are at an elevation appropriate to their intended recreational use, have boundaries that are clearly defined and are accessible to all neighborhood residents from a public street or trail. Connect individual home sites with pedestrian corridors or sidewalks to larger open spaces and places of destination on-site and off-site. Open spaces should be accessible to pedestrians at roughly 1,200-foot intervals along public roadways. Pedestrian corridors between lots shall be at least 50 feet in width and buffered from view of adjacent properties. 5. Locate lots to preserve woodlands, farmland or other natural features or character, including places of historic, archeological or cultural value. Preserve natural resources as identified in the Comprehensive Plan to the maximum extent possible in a contiguous, connected configuration. Natural open spaces may include, but are not limited to, fields, wetlands, slopes, bluffs, woods, lakes, ponds, streams, shore lands, and other environmentally sensitive areas. 6. Providing covenants to create an architectural theme to include items such as landscaping, porches, side or rear loaded or detached garages. A written narrative describing the architectural theme shall be provided with the preliminary plat. 7. Locate houses and garages such that the garages do not dominate the streetscape. 8. Locate septic systems on the most suitable soils for subsurface septic disposal and in such manner as to provide for cost effective and least disruptive future connection of the wastewater treatment system(s) to urban services. 9. Landscape common areas and street rights-of-way with native vegetation with high wildlife conservation value. Preliminary Plat for Fehn Meadows 2nd Addition (City File 18-017) 3 May 29, 2018 Parks and Trails While reviewing the application we used the 2030 Comprehensive Plan Parks and Trails Map. The map shows an on-road trail on County Road 117. The plat shows a 50-foot half right-of-way being dedicated for County Road 117. The County has provided comment on this application, requesting a 60-foot half right-of-way and dedicated turn lanes for the development. The on-road trail could likely be accommodated within the dedicated right-of-way shown, but the County comments will need to be addressed by the developer. We also used the 2040 Parks and Trails Map from the draft Comprehensive Plan when reviewing this application. While the 2040 Parks and Trails Map has been approved for distribution and jurisdiction comment, it has not been adopted. The map does not show any additional trails. However, there is an off-road trail shown along the creek. When the Parks Commission reviewed the sketch plan for this site, they recommended that the trail ultimately be located south of the creek. Staff recommends no trail dedication with this plat. Park Dedication Requirements Section 955.020 of the Subdivision Ordinance requires park dedication at the time of platting for land that has not previously provided park dedication, pursuant to Minnesota Statutes 462.358, Subd. 2b. Under the current ordinance, park dedication of land is required at 4% of the net pre-development area for Rural/Ag Residential land. Park dedication is only taken for newly created lots. The ordinance would require 2.51 acres of park dedication for the 62.7 acres being platted. Park dedication credits would be given for any trail easements taken. There are no trail easements for this plat. Where no park land is shown on the Comprehensive Plan, the City should take cash in lieu of land. For residential developments, the current cash in lieu of land fee has been calculated based on the per capita share of park system costs at $3,970 per single family unit (14 x $3,970 = $55,580). Because no trail easements are being dedicated the full cash-in lieu of land fee is required for the 14 new lots. Park dedication is due at the time of final plat recording, based on the adopted fee schedule in place at that time. Preliminary Plat for Fehn Meadows 2nd Addition (City File 18-017) 4 May 29, 2018 4. Recommendation Move to recommend approval of cash-in-lieu of land fee for the park dedication. Attachments a.

TO: Corcoran Parks and Trails Commission FROM: Mary Matze through Kendra Lindahl, Landform D ATE: May 23, 2018 for the May 29, 2018 Parks and Trails Commission Meeting RE: Rezoning, Preliminary Plat and Preliminary PUD Development Plan for “Encore” a residential development west of County Road 101 and north of County Road 30 (PID 12-119-23-12-0001, 01-119-23-43-0002, 01-119-23-44-0001, 01-119-23-41-0001) (City File 18-016) 1.Application Request Pulte Homes of Minnesota, LLC has submitted a request for a Rezoning, Preliminary Plat and Preliminary PUD Development Plan for “Encore” a residential development of 398 homes on 225.9- acres. A public hearing at Planning Commission has been tentatively scheduled for June 7, 2018 and Council is expected to take action on the request on June 28, 2018. The Parks and Trails Commission should review and make a recommendation on the park dedication requirements. 2.Context Background On February 22, 2018, Council reviewed a PUD sketch plan and Environmental Assessment Worksheet (EAW) for the project. Notice of the EAW was published in the EQB Monitor on March 12, 2018 to allow the public and other governmental agencies to provide usable information to the project proposer. The 30-day comment period for the EAW ended on April 11, 2018. The Council is expected to adopt a finding of “no need” for EIS (Environmental Impact Statement) at their May 10th meeting. On April 26, 2018, City Council reviewed and approved a Comprehensive Plan Amendment to re- guide the majority of land in the property from a mix of light industrial, high density residential, mixed residential and commercial uses to low-density residential. Portions of the site remain a light industrial and commercial for future development. The Comprehensive Plan Amendment was sent to the Metropolitan Council for review. Agenda Item: 8b. Encore RZ, PP and PUD (city file 18-016) 2 May 24, 2018 Zoning and Land Use The subject site is located in the Northeast area of the City, which is guided by the Northeast District Design Guidelines. The properties are currently zoned as follows: PID Zoning 01-119-23-41-0001 (101 Farms) I-1 Light Industrial 01-119-23-43-0002 (Schober) RSF-2 Single Family Residential 2 01-119-23-44-0001 (Schober) • I-1 Light Industrial • RSF-2 Single Family Residential 2 • C-1 Neighborhood Commercial • C-2 Community Commercial 12-119-23-12-0001 (Newman) • UR Urban Reserve • C-1 Neighborhood Commercial • C-2 Community Commercial Surrounding Properties The surrounding properties are guided and zoned as follows: Land Use Zoning Property to the North • Low Density Residential • Light Industrial • Urban Reserve • I-1 Light Industrial Property to the South • Mixed Use • Business Park • Commercial • Urban Reserve • C-2 Community Commercial Property to the East • N/A – Maple Grove • N/A – Maple Grove Property to the West • Low Density Residential • Existing Residential • RSF-2 Single Family Residential 2 • Urban Reserve Natural Characteristics of the Site The 2030 Comprehensive Plan shows a number of low and medium quality wetlands scattered around the site as well as natural upland areas. A portion of the site has a High Quality Maple / Basswood Forest on it as well as savanna/pasture. Encore RZ, PP and PUD (city file 18-016) 3 May 24, 2018 Parks and Trails The 2030 Comprehensive Plan shows an OSP / Nature Park on the southwest corner of the Schober property and throughout the middle of the Newman property. There is a Neighborhood Park shown on the neighboring property northwest of the site. 3. Analysis of Request Section 955.020 of the Subdivision Ordinance requires park dedication at the time of platting for land that has not previously provided park dedication, pursuant to Minnesota Statutes §462.358, Subd. 2b. Sidewalks The applicant shows five-foot wide sidewalks (and in some places the plans show eight-foot wide trails) on one side of the street in the proposed plans as required by ordinance. Parks Plan The plan shows a Neighborhood Park and an OSP park on this property, which is generally shown on the plans. • Neighborhood parks are the most local unit of the park system, providing for the passive and active recreational needs of neighborhood residents. These parks should be accessible to a wide variety of user groups living in the neighborhood. These parks typically do not provide organized athletic programs. • The 2040 Comprehensive Plan notes that “Community Parks serve a wider user group than neighborhood parks, and are often in proximity to secondary schools and other public facilities. These parks seek to preserve unique landscapes and natural areas, and as they have a larger overall size, the programming of passive and active recreation may occur within the same park without conflict.” There are 2 types of Community Parks: Community Playfields and Open Space/Natural Parks. • This area is planned as an Open Space Park. “These parks are characterized by high-quality natural resources that merit preservation and which would be negatively affected by development. They are identified as Open Space and Preservation/Nature Park on the system map. Recreational uses are secondary to the preservation of natural open space and the conservation functions of these areas. Compatible recreational uses include hiking, picnicking and nature study. Open space or natural park sites are typically within the high- quality natural community areas identified in the City’s Natural Resource Inventory. They should be connected by trails to the City’s Natural Resource Corridors and to other parks and will be left in a natural or semi-natural state, with minimal development.” The plan shows dedication of a 9-acre open space park in the center of the site. The land where the park is located is heavily wooded, which makes it ideal for an open space or natural park and less desirable for a community park. The applicant has provided 10 parking spaces along Kenwood Lane on Sheet 5 of the preliminary plat to provide public access to the site. Encore RZ, PP and PUD (city file 18-016) 4 May 24, 2018 The applicant is showing dedication of 3.96 acres of land as part of the land for the neighborhood/community park on the northern portion of the site. This appears to be consistent with the Comprehensive Plan. The applicant would like the City to consider constructing a dog park in this neighborhood park as it is a highly desirable amenity for residents. • The City will design the park after it is dedicated to the City, but the Commission may want to provide some preliminary thoughts on this idea. The City should accept park dedication in the form of land where shown on the maps. The City may accept cash-in-lieu of land if park dedication requirements are not met by the trail dedication. Trails Plan The Park and Trail map in Comprehensive Plan shows an on-road trail on County Road 101, which could be accommodated within the additional right-of-way and would be constructed as part of future County improvements to the street. Additionally, an off-road trail is planned to run north-south through the center of the site and another to extend west where it can ultimately connect to the Hunter Place development and out to County Road 116. The trail connections labeled as “Future Trails” on the preliminary plat and site plan provide critical north-south connections and a connection to the property to the east that would make the proposed plans more consistent with the north-south connection shown in the Comprehensive Plan. Staff recommends that these trails easement be deeded to the City as part of this development and be constructed by the applicant at the time each phase is constructed. Additionally, there are a number of adjustments to the layout of the trails and sidewalks that staff is working on with the developer, specifically: • Staff also notes that the that the trail shown on the north side of Stieg Road could better serve future residents if shifted to the south side of the road. Staff anticipates that there will be a higher demand for residential lots on the south side of the road, and should be relocated there. • The trails and sidewalks along 102nd Place connecting through to Elm Lane jumps across the street in several places. Staff recommends that the developer shift the sidewalks and trails to the south side of 102nd Place between Elm Lane and Jack Pine Lane. Staff also recommends shifting the trail to the west side of Elm Lane south of 99th Place. • The developer has not provided a connecting trail from 101st Place over Outlot F that would support pedestrian connectivity to the adjacent church. Because it is very likely that residents living in the community may want to attend the church, staff recommends incorporating a trail connection from 101st Place over Outlot F that provides connectivity to the church. • The preliminary plat shows a trail on the west of the wetland in Outlot E that connects to the southern boundary of the site along the east side of the wetland on Outlot D, however, this connection is not shown on the site plan received on May 17, 2018. Staff recommends maintaining this important connection. An exhibit showing the location of the recommended adjustments is included as an attachment to the packet. Encore RZ, PP and PUD (city file 18-016) 5 May 24, 2018 Typically, the City asks the applicant to construct trails shown along roads and to grade land where trails are shown in the Comprehensive Plan for the City to construct, as required by Section 955, Subd. 7 B of the Subdivision Ordinance. When the City does not require the developer to pave the trail, the developer is required to provide finished grading and ground cover for trails within their developments. No credit toward the required dedication shall be given for this work. The same subdivision allows the City to require the developer to pave the off-road trails, and states that the City will be required to reimburse the applicant for the costs of paving the trail. In this case, the City will require the developer to pave the trails and they will be given credit for the cost of the bituminous trail. Based on information provided by City Public Works and nearby communities staff estimates the cost per lineal foot to be $20. Trails shall be paved by the developer as well as part of the PUD. There is a trail crossing over the wetland that is proposed as a boardwalk. The developer has not provided details, but they will be required to construct the boardwalk. The developer estimates that the cost of constructing the boardwalk will be $200 per lineal foot. However, the final cost of constructing the boardwalk will be determined at the time of design. Staff has spoken with several communities that have installed similar features over wetlands and finds that the estimate is consistent with actual costs. • The applicant has provided photos of a recently constructed boardwalk. However, the photos provided show that handrails have not been provided. Because the boardwalk will serve a senior community, Parks Commission should discuss whether a railing or requiring a width of 10 feet (rather than the standard 8-foot wide trail) would be appropriate on this amenity. Staff is recommending that the applicant be given park dedication credit for the cost of constructing this high-quality amenity. The Code requires 5-foot wide sidewalks on one side of all public streets. Where a sidewalk is not provided, an 8-foot wide trail is provided. The City requires an 8-foot wide trail in a 20-foot wide easement. The plans comply with this requirement. Park Dedication Requirements Under the current ordinance, park dedication of land is required at 15% of the net pre-development area for land designated Low Density Residential. If the City determines that land is not needed in the area of a proposed subdivision, a cash fee in lieu of land dedication may be required. For residential developments, the cash in lieu of land fee has been calculated based on the per capita share of park system costs at $3,970 per single family unit. 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 applicant is requesting that the City give Park Dedication credit for the private amenity center. In this case, the developer is proposing an amenity center that provides a club house that includes a fitness center locker rooms, multi-purpose rooms, a craft room, a community room, and a commercial grade kitchen. Additionally, the narrative states that “Outside amenities will include a pool, fire pit, pickle ball courts, bocce ball courts, a tennis court, and many outside gathering places to knit the activities together.” Encore RZ, PP and PUD (city file 18-016) 6 May 24, 2018 Section 955, Subd. 8 of the Subdivision Ordinance allows the City to give park dedication credit for private amenities and when the applicant meets the following standards: 1. Such credit may be given only for park areas within the proposed subdivision that are designed on the Parks and Trails Map as Neighborhood Parks. The Parks and Trails Map shows a Community Park and Open Space area in the area of the development. The proposed amenity center is proposed in a location that is adjacent to the proposed preserved open space. 2. The facilities proposed for the private parks and facilities shall be in substantial accordance with the provisions of the Parks and Trails Plan, and approved by the City Council. The facilities proposed by the applicant serve the needs of the needs of the senior community that will be constructed by the developer. This will reduce the demand on public parks that would otherwise be needed by the future residents of this development. 3. In no circumstances shall such credit for private facilities exceed 20 percent of the amount required to be dedicated to the public under this chapter. The Council and Parks Commission will consider the proportion of neighborhood park needs provided by the proposed facility, and the proportion of new neighborhood residents to be served by the facility in determining the credit to be given for private park facilities. The total required land dedication for the development is 21.98 net acres. Twenty percent of 21.98 acres is 4.4 acres. The applicant complies with this standard, as they are proposing to dedicate approximately 3.67 acres for the amenity center, which will serve 398 housing units. Because the applicant will be providing a highly-amenitized facility that will meet almost all of the recreational needs of the Encore community, staff recommends providing credit for the full 4.4-acres. The applicant is proposing an additional 15.4 acres of net developable land for public open spaces and parks. Staff notes that approximately 78 acres of 225 acres of land (34%) is undevelopable. A large portion of the undevelopable land is wetlands which are being used as a public space amenity. While this land is not considered as part of the park dedication fees, it is a significant amount of undevelopable space, and the private amenity proposed will complement the undevelopable areas. 4. Yards, court areas, setbacks and other open space required to be maintained by the zoning ordinance shall not be included in the computation of such private open space. The applicant shall provide a final calculation of the acreage to staff prior to land dedication. 5. The private ownership and maintenance of the parks is adequately provided for by written agreement. The applicant will be required to provide details for ownership and maintenance to the City. Encore RZ, PP and PUD (city file 18-016) 7 May 24, 2018 6. The private parks are restricted for park and recreation purposes by recorded covenants that run with the land in favor of the future owners of property within the subdivision and which cannot be modified without the written consent of the City Council. If the City chose to approve the land dedication for the private facility, they will be required to comply with this standard. 7. The proposed private parks are reasonably adaptable for use for park or recreation purposes, taking into consideration such factors as size, shape, topography, geology, drainage, access, and location of the proposed facilities. The proposed private recreation facility functions as a park amenity and could be adapted for public use in the future. Staff finds that the amenity center proposed by Pulte meets most of the recreational needs of this neighborhood and should be given the maximum credit allowed for this amenity center. • The Parks Commission discuss whether the amenity center proposed by the applicant meets the purposes and intent of the dedication requirements and provide a recommendation to Council. The following table titled “Park Dedication Analysis” provides the estimated park dedication requirements of land and cash-in-lieu of land. As part of the final PUD development plan and final plat, the applicant will be required to provide the gross and net developable area of all proposed areas to be dedicated as parks and trails to accurately calculate the park dedication fees. Only land located in net developable areas may satisfy requirements for park dedication. Park Dedication Analysis Site Data Estimated net developable area 146.52 acres Park land dedicated: Preserved woods to be dedicated (upland only) and Schober neighborhood park 12.74 net acres Estimated Eligible Trail land dedicated* 2.37 net acres Credit for Private Amenity Center (20% of park dedication requirement) 4.4 net acres (equivalent) Total Land Dedication Proposed 19.51 net Acres (88.7% of the required land) Total required land dedication (15% of 146.52) 21.98 net acres Difference -2.47 acres (11.2% of the required land) Encore RZ, PP and PUD (city file 18-016) 8 May 24, 2018 *Section 955, Subd. 7 A states that no park dedication credit is given for trails in the public right of way. Trails located in Schober Park or in the dedicated woods may not be included in the net developable total. Typically, cash-in-lieu of land is required to meet park dedication in a fee amount set by council. The per unit fee based on land values is $3,970. If the City determines that land is not needed in the area of a proposed subdivision, a cash fee in lieu of land dedication may be accepted. For residential developments, the cash in lieu of land fee has been calculated based on the per capita share of park system costs at $3,970 per single family unit (398 x $3,970 = $1,580,060). The applicant is providing 88.7% of the required land dedication. Based on the assumptions of the cost of bituminous and the cost of the boardwalk, the park dedication fee is satisfied, as shown in the above table. Staff recommends that the Parks and Trails Commission accept the proposed land and trail dedication, pavement of the trails, and construction of the boardwalk to satisfy park dedication requirements. Staff also recommends that if the cost of paving the trails and constructing the boardwalk exceeds $177,394 (the cash in lieu amount owed) that the City give a credit to the developer based on actual cost to meet the park dedication requirement. 4. Recommendation Move to recommend approval of a combination of land dedication, pavement of trails, construction of the boardwalk to meet the park dedication as follows: a. The developer shall dedicate the open space park as shown b. The developer shall dedicate the land for the neighborhood park as shown c. The developer shall be given full credit for the private amenity center (20% of Park Dedication requirement) d. The developer shall dedicate 20-foot easements for all off-road trails and shall be given land dedication credit for the net area of these easements e. The developer shall construct all trails shown on the plan, except the on-road trails on Country Road 101 f. The developer shall construct the boardwalk. The boardwalk shall be a minimum of 10 feet wide. Final design shall be developed with city staff and may include a railing. g. The developer shall adjust trail and sidewalk alignment and provide connections as recommended by staff. Cash in lieu for 398 units $1,580,060 Credit for land -$1,402,666 Subtotal (Cash-in-lieu owed) $177,394 Credit for paving off-road trails (assumes $20/ lineal foot) -$84,260 Credit for boardwalk (assumes $200 / lineal foot) -$95,000 Total Cash-in-lieu Owed -$1,866 Encore RZ, PP and PUD (city file 18-016) 9 May 24, 2018 h. As proposed, contribution of land, pavement of trails, and construction of the boardwalk satisfies the requirements for park dedication. If the cost for paving the trails and constructing the boardwalk exceeds the amount of required cash-in-lieu of land, the City shall give a credit to the developer based on the actual cost.

Del Webb creates extremely popular, high-amenity facilitated lifestyle active adult communities which are highly sought after by cities across the country. We have been searching for a location in the Twin Cities to create our first Del Webb age- restricted community in Minnesota. Many active adult buyers are searching for a neighborhood with the following attributes: single level homes; homeowner’s association yard and snow maintenance; a safe and secure feeling; the attractiveness of a resort; and provides an abundance of social and recreational opportunities. Encore has been designed to cater to these buyers. Within Encore, we have incorporated the traditional Del Webb neighborhood design characteristics which have been a trademark for decades. Our neighborhood vision for Encore includes the following traditional Del Webb design attributes: 1. Entrance experience – At the primary entrance to the neighborhood off County Road 101 (100th Avenue), there will be plentiful open space, a large monument, and robust landscaping. 2. Arrival drive – The arrival drive leads the driver directly from the main entrance to the amenity center. The arrival drive consists of a parkway with a wide, heavily landscaped center median and runs immediately adjacent to a wetland, providing beautiful, open views. There are no driveways on the parkway, creating a feeling of luxury, beauty, safety, and a welcoming sense of arrival into the neighborhood. 3. Amenity center – This buyer expects a private amenity center that caters to their recreational and social needs. We have strategically planned this amenity at a central location overlooking the largest wetland on the property. Based on our experience with creating many Del Webb communities across the country, we will be providing a highly desirable combination of amenities in a luxurious setting. 4. Trails/Open Space – We used the City’s Comprehensive Plan as a guide for preserving valued natural resources (woods), providing land for an active public park, and designing an interconnected public trail system throughout the neighborhood. 5. A feeling of security – It is very important to this buyer that their neighborhood feel safe and secure. This is accomplished by a variety of intentional design approaches such as buffer plantings in key perimeter areas, parkway arrival drive, sidewalks along every street, a private amenity center for homeowners and their guests, etc. 6. Single level villa homes – The active adult buyer oftentimes wants to move into a single level home with no or minimal stairs, homeowner’s association maintained yards/snow removal, and social and recreational opportunities. We will be offering homes and a neighborhood that provides these attributes. Buyers will be able to choose from different product lines of homes, each catering to a different square footage, price point, and location/views. 5 Improvements to the Neighborhood The current neighborhood layout is basically the same as the sketch plan that went before the City Council on the February 22nd City Council meeting. We listened carefully to comments made by City staff and the City Council and have addressed many of the comments. Once we entered the engineering stage, we also studied some areas in more detail and have made some improvements to the plan. For the sake of clarity, we’d like to point out changes to the neighborhood layout: 1. We have made minor adjustments to the street connections near Hunters Ridge to discourage potential future “cut through” traffic from County Road 116 to County Road 30. 2. We created more buffer space in the rear yards along the east side of the Hunters Ridge neighborhood. 3. We added a trail connection from our main entrance to Immanuel United Methodist Church to enable convenient pedestrian access to the church. 4. We eliminated the roundabout near the main entrance, opting instead for a more traditional intersection configuration. 5. We revised the street connections to Stieg Road to provide a continuous loop road around the large wetland. This also results in a much stronger and more attractive secondary entrance into the neighborhood. 6. Due to the change in location of the street connection to the south side of Stieg Road, we made minor changes in location of the street connection to the north side of Stieg Road to separate the intersections by a safe distance. 7. We made minor street revisions in the southeast corner of the neighborhood to get the storm water to work and to provide a stronger separation between commercial and residential uses. 8. We revised the trails to better match the Comprehensive Plan. These changes have strengthened the functionality and livability of the neighborhood and surrounding areas. Zoning Existing zoning of the property is a combination of Urban Reserve (UR), Single Family Residential (RSF-1), High Density Residential (RMF-3), and Community Commercial (C-2). The We are requesting to rezone the commercial use property to Neighborhood Commercial (C-1) and the residential use property to Planned Unit Development (PUD). 6 Park Dedication Comprehensive Plan Guidance The City’s Comprehensive Plan identifies the woods in the central part of the Newman property as a “High Quality Natural Community” (see brown area in the graphic below). It further defines it as a “Maple/Basswood” forest. In addition, the location of this woods is ideal for a passive public amenity. We are preserving nearly 9 acres of this woods. The Comprehensive Plan also identifies many recreational facilities planned for the general area (see graphic below). A Neighborhood Park (“NP”) and/or Community Park (“CP”) are shown in the below graphic as well as public trails illustrated in orange. The combination of a neighborhood park and wooded open space interconnected by public trails will be a very attractive public amenity for the area. We have incorporated these features into the design of the Encore neighborhood, with convenient access for those outside of the neighborhood. See below graphic. 7 Trails We will be constructing the trails shown in the below graphic (in blue). Future trails constructed by others are also shown to provide context. The total length of public trails to be constructed with Encore is 9,100 feet. Sidewalks are shown in red. 8 Schober Park As part of our park dedication, we are dedicating 4.80 acres of land for a City park on the Schober property. Subtracting wetlands and a storm water pond leads to a total upland area of 3.96 acres. It is anticipated that when the adjacent Van Blaricom property develops, additional park dedication will complete the park. Now would be an appropriate time for the City to plan amenities and uses in Schober Park. On our plans we are showing an example illustration of a potential layout of amenities and uses. Through experience in creating many neighborhoods in recent years, it has become apparent that dog park s are a very popular facility for all demographic groups. We highly recommend that the City construct a dog park in this location concurrent with development of Phase 2 or Phase 3 of Encore (2019 or 2020) to serve the broader area. We have recently built a dog park and we have utilized this basic layout in our drawings for Schober Park. We recommend budgeting between $60k and $80k for the dog park. Satisfying Park Dedication Our calculations (see below) suggest that in providing all the features identified in the Comprehensive Plan, we will be dedicating well more than required by City ordinance for this application. These properties happen to contain land that the City wishes to preserve for both passive and active recreational uses. We are dedicating a wooded natural resource, active park land, and the construction of public trails. The total value that we are providing to the City that is more than ordinance requirements is nearly $400k. W e are not seeking reimbursement for the excess dedications. 9 Landscape Plan A key component of an attractive Del Webb community is the use of plentiful and attractive landscaping. It is worthwhile to point out some key aspects of the landscape plan. The main entrance and arrival drive have a large amount of landscaping to deliver a resort-like experience. This includes greenery as well as color in the form of perennials and ornamental trees. Another key aspect of the landscape plan is the large landscape buffers along the small commercial lot at the main entrance and buffers against the homes along the arrival drive. These details provide for a special experience. A significant amount of focus is also on the amenity center, utilizing landscaping to create separate “outdoor rooms” and buffering from the public trail to create the right amount of privacy for the homeowners. Another key aspect of our landscape plan is the intentional buffering against the surrounding land uses. For instance, we provided additional buffer space in the rear yards of the home abutting the large Schober commercial property. In this additional space, we are creating berms and landscaping to provide a solid buffer between land uses. Similarly, we are providing landscape buffers along the southern property line of Encore and along Stieg Road. Finally, we have designed the boulevard tree plan to alternate tree species to guard against potential diseases impacting any species of tree. We have made a strong effort to use native plant species to the extent possible. It should be noted that during the great recession, the lack of development activity resulted in many nurseries cutting back on the quantity of new stock they normally would plant every year and even cutting down larger trees and eventually planting new ones. The result of this is that to this day there continues to be an undersupply of adequately sized trees. Unlike many other products, trees cannot quickly be brought to market. This unusual situation means that the availability of specific tree species cannot be counted on and we must continually be flexible on the species of trees that can be acquired. You’ll note that the landscape schedule indicates a specified species and some alternate species to address this temporary market deficiency. 10 Our Homes Pulte Homes is known for the extraordinary steps that we take to ensure that we are designing and building homes that meet the needs and desires of home buyers. We continually reach out to the public and Pulte homeowners to get feedback to improve our home designs. W e call this Life Tested®. We build prototypical rooms and homes in warehouses across the country and pay members of the public to walk through and provide written feedback on the homes. Through this intensive process, we have conceived of and incorporated many innovative home design features such as the Pulte Planning Center, Everyday Entry, Super Laundry, Oversized Pantry, and the Owner’s Retreat. This exhaustive process has played a major part in Pulte’s success in “Building Consumer Inspired Homes and Communities to Make Lives Better”. We will be offering our updated and popular combination of Del Webb homes. Buyers will be able to choose from different product lines of homes with varying sizes, prices, and views/locations. Below is a brief description of the lot and home selections that we envision being offered at Encore. All product lines will offer five different options for architectural facades and will offer various structural options. 44-Foot Wide Lots The homes planned for the 44-foot wide lots will be 34-feet wide and range in size from 1,300 to 1,700 square feet. There will be three different floor plans to choose from. These smaller floor plans are very popular for singles/widows/widowers in our active adult neighborhoods. They typically have two bedrooms and a two-car garage and are built slab on grade (no basements). Valuations of these homes are anticipated to be from the high $200k’s to the mid-$300k’s. 50-Foot Wide Lots The homes planned for the 50-foot wide lots will be 40-feet wide and range in size from 1,680 to 1,960 square feet (excluding basements). There will be four different floor plans to choose from. These homes are typically the largest selling product line in our active adult neighborhoods across the country. The homes typically have two bedrooms and a two-car garage, but are versatile and can offer many options such as a third bedroom, a bonus room, and/or a finished basement. Valuations of these homes are anticipated to be from the mid-$300k’s to the low $400k’s. 60-Foot Wide Lots The homes planned for the 60-foot lots will be a similar product line as for the 50-foot wide lots. However, all of homes will have basements and three-car garages. The homes will be 50 feet wide. These lots are placed in the premium locations with the most attractive views. Valuations of these homes are anticipated to be from the high $300k’s to the low $500k’s. Architecture Del Webb has been creating age restricted communities since 1960. Through decades of experience, we have learned that specific home and community characteristics have consistently been desired by the active adult buyer. The homes and community that we have designed in Corcoran meets these desires, though home desires have evolved in small ways and we have adapted our home designs to the ever-changing market. 11 Encore will include the same updated, tried and true Del Webb floor plans that are sold in other markets across the country. The fronts of all homes in Encore will have SmartSide LP cement board exterior siding. The Uniqueness of an Age Restricted Community A small number of municipalities in the Twin Cities metropolitan area adopt architectural design standards. Corcoran is one of those cities. Sometimes we see ordinances that apply only to multifamily buildings, while other ordinances are aimed primarily at single family home architecture. It is apparent in reading City Ordinance 2016-338 that single family homes were in mind while creating these architectural standards. Encore is not a traditional single-family neighborhood and it is worth the exercise of considering the uniqueness of this type of neighborhood regarding architecture. Homes in an age restricted community differ from those in a single-family neighborhood in some significant ways. These factors are critical in how the overall architecture and attractiveness of the home and neighborhood are perceived. Each of these differences is discussed below. 1) One story homes vs two story homes – A typical two story single family home displays up to twice the surface area on all four sides of the home than a one-story home (see below graphic). This can sometimes result in large, somewhat blank walls on a two-story single-family home that can be lacking in attractiveness. In effect, there is less opportunity and need to “spice up” the exterior elevations of a one-story home. 2) Narrower homes – Similarly, age restricted homes are typically narrower than two story single family homes for the simple reason that a retired individual or couple needs less space than a family does. The same point as discussed above comes into play on this issue as well. There is less surface area on the fronts and rears of the home and therefore there is less opportunity and need to add architectural elements to the homes (see below graphic). 3) Less side setbacks – Due to the desire of the age restricted buyer to minimize the size of their lawns, the nationwide typical Del Webb side setback is five feet and five feet. This leads to the side elevations of the homes being much less visible than for single-family homes with wider side setbacks. Typical active adult front, side, and rear elevation – gable roof Typical active adult home front, side, and rear elevation – hip roof 12 Typ. single-family home front, side, and rear elev. – for example only; not part of Encore Compliance with Architecture Guidelines We are incorporating elevations of our housing products into this application to have complete transparency on what we will be building in Encore and to allow for approval of all elevations now in lieu of significant administrative effort in approving each individual home over time. Below is a point by point listing of how we are satisfying or dealing with each section of the City’s design standards as outlined in City Ordinance 2016-338. Section 1.A.2 Materials Used Required - Two materials on the front elevations, including vinyl Provided – We will not be using vinyl siding on any of the front elevations of the homes. The fronts of all homes will have SmartSide LP cement board exterior siding. Home buyers will also have a variety of options that would impact the architecture of the home. For instance, based on historical option rates, we anticipate over 40% of our active adult customers will choose an option of adding cultured stone on the front elevation and over 10% of our active adult customers will choose an option of an upgraded garage door with windows and/or specialized garage hardware. Section 1.A.3 Architectural Elements Required – Front elevation to have doors, windows and variations of the wall face with the use of pilasters or columns, wainscots, canopies, or other architectural elements. Provided – Encore will fully comply with this requirement. Section 1.A.4 Design Required – Front elevations shall be varied with a minimum of five different styles. Provided – Encore will fully comply with this requirement. Our standard Del Webb product lines include five different architectural styles and three or four different floor plans per product line. The five architectural styles for each of our floor plans include Prairie, Heartland, Craftsman, Northern Craftsman, and Euro Country. Section 1.B.1 Garages Required – Garage shall not comprise more than 55% of the viewable ground floor street-facing linear building frontage. Provided – By the nature of active adult housing we cannot satisfy this requirement. Retired couples oftentimes have two cars or one car and a golf cart or small recreational vehicle. They do not have children living in the home and therefore need less living space than families do. Therefore, the ratio of garage space for a retire couple is higher than that of a family. This requirement appears to be aimed at single family homes. All our 40-foot wide homes will comply with this section. However, our 34-foot and 50-foot wide homes will not comply with this section. 13 Section 1.B.2 Garage Design Required – 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. Provided – Encore will fully comply with this requirement. Our base homes will have raised panel garage doors and we offer options for upgrades including windows, hardware, etc. Section 1.C.1 Roofing Material Required – Roofing materials including asphalt shingles, wood shingles, concrete, clay, ceramic tile roofs or residential steel roofing material are required on all roofs. Provided – Encore will fully comply with this requirement with the use of asphalt shingles. Section 1.C.2 Roof Overhangs Required – Overhangs must be a minimum of 12 inches. Provided – Encore will fully comply with this requirement. Section 1.D.1 Equal Architectural Treatment Required – 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 a street or public park. Each elevation facing a street or public park should use a minimum of 2 different materials and/or styles compatible with the front elevation as described in this Section. All other elevations shall make a good faith effort to demonstrate that elements of the front elevation have been considered for incorporation on these elevations. Provided – As referenced above, there is very little space on the rears of these narrow, single story rear views and therefore there is very little to work with on this requirement. There is also very little need. Therefore, we are focusing on highly visible side elevations that have a gable roof. Some buyers will choose a hip roof, which will display little wall surface area. We will add one of the below options to both side elevations of all highly visible homes. Highly visible homes are the thirteen homes identified in the attached map. Option 1 is adding a banding board and shake siding above the banding board on both side elevations with gable roofs. Option 2 is adding a banding board and having a different siding color above the banding board. We are offering two options to home buyers to provide a variety of appearances in the high visibility areas. If a home buyer chooses an architectural style that includes a hip roof, then there is little exposed wall surface and therefore no additional architectural option will be needed. Option 1: Banding board and shake siding above banding board (both side elevation) Option 2: Banding board with different colored siding above and below banding board (both side elevations) 14 Section 1.D.2 Windows Required – Each side elevation shall have at least one window or door opening. Provided – Encore will fully comply with this requirement. Section 1.D.3 Foundation Exposure Required – A maximum of 18 inches of the foundation wall may be exposed on any elevation. Provided – Encore will fully comply with this requirement. Encore Architecture Attached to this application you will find our elevations for Encore. A quick summary: 34-foot wide homes – Although a popular and tried and true Del Webb product, we have not built this product line in Minnesota. Therefore, we are in the process of drawing the various elevations and architectural styles fitting for this market area. We have included nine elevations in the application. We will be drawing these same elevations with stone, as well as additional elevations as well. As the additional elevations become available, we anticipate bringing them forward for approval, perhaps at the final plat approval for the first addition. In total, we will have three floor plans each with ten different architectural elevations totaling thirty elevations. 40-foot wide homes – We will have four floor plans each with ten different architectural elevations totaling forty elevations. All forty elevations are included in this application. 50-foot wide homes – We will have four floor plans each with ten different architectural elevations totaling forty elevations. All forty elevations are included in this application. Amenities One of the primary hallmarks of a Del Webb community is the elevated level of amenities included in the neighborhood. Encore is no exception. We are providing the same level of amenities as other similar sized Del Webb communities across the nation. Although preliminary architectural design is ongoing, the size of the clubhouse is estimated to be between 6,000 and 8,000 square feet. The below preliminary floor plan shows the various uses within the clubhouse including a fitness center, locker rooms, multi-purpose rooms, a craft room, a community room, and a commercial grade kitchen. An example architectural front elevation of the clubhouse is also shown below. 15 Outside amenities will include a pool, fire pit, pickle ball courts, bocce ball courts, a tennis court, and many outside gathering places to knit the activities together. We have been very thoughtful in the locations, orientations, and transitions experiences throughout the amenity center. An early concept is shown below. Please note that changes will inevitably be made. It should be noted that although a public trail will run along the south edge of the amenity center, we have intentionally designed the private park to be physically and visually separated from the public trail via the use of both landscaping and grade change. We will provide the appropriate level of signing to communicate clearly about where private property begins. An early site line graphic from the public boardwalk to the private amenity center is shown below. 16 Trunk Sewer Pulte Homes remains willing to finance the full cost of extending trunk sewer to and through the Encore neighborhood in conjunction with development of Encore. In effect, we are willing to loan the City this money at our risk. We will enter into a “recapture agreement” with the City which would result in Pulte Homes being reimbursed by the City over time as the City collects sewer impact fees from development of other properties in northeast Corcoran. Recapture agreements are not unusual and have been a useful instrument in dealing with just this type of situation in other jurisdictions across the country. This is like what was agreed to for the Ravinia neighborhood. What this Approach Accomplishes 1. Unlocks other development potential – Currently, all development in northeast Corcoran is being “held hostage” by the industrial properties. Our approach will unlock potential development throughout northeast Corcoran. Development of Encore will result in extending sewer to the properties zoned Business Park and Mixed Use off County Road 30 perhaps as soon as the end of 2018. At the current time, these properties cannot even be considered by prospective buyers, as bringing sewer to these properties will make them development-ready. Development in this area could generate significant real estate taxes for the City. 2. Provides another option for solving the septic dilemma – Every City encounters issues with failing septic systems. This can be a very complicated and controversial issue. There are many septic systems to the west and northwest of Encore. It would be very helpful for the City to have the permanent option available for consideration – extension of sanitary sewer. In conjunction with development of Encore, sewer will be brought much closer to some of these rural residential areas (Hunter Ridge, Jackie Lane, Country Circle, Country Road, and Robert Lane). It also brings sewer to Immanuel United Methodist Church and brings it closer to Hope Community Church. 3. No cost or risk to the City – We recognize that the City does not feel comfortable now financing the extension of this trunk sewer. Pulte Homes will finance the extension at our cost and our risk. 17 Active Adult Neighborhood Active adult neighborhoods are not all that common, but they are highly sought after because of the many benefits they bring to a community. What can you expect? • A beautiful, highly sought-after neighborhood • Quality citizens • Positive financial cost/benefit • Energized business climate Benefits of an age restricted neighborhood • Light use of streets, water, wastewater, and police • Disposable income leads to high consumption • Pay their real estate taxes, which will be significant • Contribute to schools, but don’t send students • Greatly reduced rush hour traffic compared to typical residential neighborhoods Social presence • Volunteerism • Civic minded Covenants Del Webb communities, including Encore, are age restricted communities. This buyer seeks out an age restricted community where they can spend time with people of similar ages. We create a declaration that is recorded against all properties within the neighborhood which has specific age requirements for living within the community. Although Encore will be an age restricted community, we must comply with State and Federal law. The primary Federal law that we deal with is nicknamed HOPA. HOPA is the federal Housing for Older Persons Act of 1995. The law creates an exception to the federal Fair Housing Act's general prohibition against discrimination in the sale or lease of housing based on "familial status" and allows an age-restricted community to prohibit children or persons of any age if specific requirements are met. The key specific requirement is that at least 80% of the occupied dwelling units in the community must have at least one occupant who is 55 years of age or older (Age-Qualified Occupant). W e set a goal at higher than 80% of the homes being occupied by 55 or older to ensure that we comply with the Federal law requirement of 80% for an age restricted community. In addition, HOPA requires the homeowner’s association to conduct periodic surveys to validate that the age-restricted community complies with the HOPA 80% Occupancy Requirement. This ensures perpetual compliance with the HOPA law. Another specific restriction is that no children can live within the community. A homeowner’s association will also be a key component of this Del Webb neighborhood. Homeowner dues will pay for ongoing maintenance of the amenities, landscaping, entrance monuments, and staff programming of activities. 18 Phasing & Schedule The following preliminary schedule for development is envisioned based on current information and the below preliminary phasing plan. As development progresses, phase boundaries will be refined. Summer 2018 Preliminary plat approval Fall 2018 City installation of trunk sewer Summer/Fall 2018 Development of Phase 1 2019 Development of Phase 2 2020 Development of Phase 3 2021 Development of Phase 4 2022 Development of Phase 5 (if needed) 2022-2024 Full build out See attached Phasing Plan for details. Planned Unit Development (PUD) We are proposing to rezone the property to a commercial use (Outlot A) and PUD (residential uses). In evaluating a PUD application, the City Council weighs the overall benefits of the proposal versus deviations from City ordinances. Here is a summary of the overall benefits and deviations from ordinances of Encore. Overall benefits: 1. Construction of and financing trunk sewer – At no risk to the City, Pulte is proposing to construct and finance a large amount of trunk sewer which will benefit a far greater area. Pulte is assuming a large amount of cost and risk in doing so ($3.7M estimated in the City feasibility report). 2. Trunk sewer to business park/mixed use/commercial properties – In Phase 1 (2018), we will be extending the trunk sewer to or near the properties at the northwest quadrant of County Road 101 and County Road 30. This opens many high-profile and valuable properties for potential development. 3. Preservation of woods – In compliance with the vision outlined in the City’s Comprehensive Plan, we are preserving over 8 acres of hardwood forest/open space. 4. Dedication of land for future active park – In compliance with the vision outlined in the City’s Comprehensive Plan, we are dedicating 4.8 acres of land for a future active public park. The park can be expanded with development of additional properties in the area. This park land is strategically connected to the preserved woods. 5. Public trail system - In compliance with the vision outlined in the City’s Comprehensive Plan, we are constructing a substantial part of a system of public trails in northeast Corcoran. 6. Total park dedication – We are proposing to dedicate nearly a value of nearly $400k more than required in the form of woods, active park land, and public trails to be constructed with Encore. 7. Commercial lot – We are developing the first non-residential property (Outlot A) in northeast Corcoran. 8. Stieg Road realignment – We are realigning Stieg Road near County Road 101, resulting in a perpendicular, safer intersection. It will also produce more functional commercial and industrial properties adjacent to Stieg Road. 19 9. Stieg Road left turn lane – The current condition on County Road 101 at Stieg Road is that a northbound left turn lane is needed. We are proposing to voluntarily pay for adding this left turn lane. (We will also be constructing a turn lane on County Road 101 at 100th Avenue.) 10. Prestigious Neighborhood – Encore will be a beautiful, prestigious neighborhood with an exceptional level of amenities and beauty. The active adult demographic group is very civic minded and is a light user of public services, resulting in an ideal addition to the City of Corcoran. Following is a summary of the deviations from City ordinances: 1. Lot size and reduced side setbacks – The active adult community typically does not have children living in their homes and therefore do not desire to have a large home or a large yard. In fact, additional yard equates to additional unwanted maintenance cost for the residents through their homeowner’s association dues. We are proposing home sizes, lot sizes, and side setbacks that are typical in sought after Del Webb active adult neighborhoods across the country. 2. Architecture – Due to the unique nature of the active adult home, we are requesting approval of the architecture of the homes planned for this Del Webb neighborhood as presented, which has minor deviations from City guidelines. This submittal includes: • This narrative • Applications • Application fees totaling $33,990 • Preliminary Plat package – plat, engineering, landscape architecture • Preliminary Plat – graphic rendering • Architectural Upgrades Map • Architectural elevations • Wetland delineation report • Phasing plan • Tax records ENCORE | PULTE HOMES Corcoran , Minnesota CONCEPT PLAN April, 2018SATHRE-BERGQUIST INC.north CO U N T Y R O A D 1 0 1 / B R O C K T O N L A N E N O R T H WETLAND WETLAND PRIVATE AMENITY CENTER ENTRANCE MONUMENT PUBLIC OPEN SPACE SITE DATA 44’ LOTS - 153 50’ LOTS - 181 60’ LOTS - 64 TOTAL - 398 SINGLE FAMILY LOTS LEGEND 44’ WIDE LOT 50’ WIDE LOT 60’ WIDE LOT SIDEWALK WETLAND POND TRAIL FUTURE TRAIL HUNTERS RIDGE PUBLIC PARK COUNTY ROAD 30 CO U N T Y R O A D 1 1 6 STIEG R O A D COMMERCIAL OUTLOT A FUTURE COMMERCIAL OUTLOT FUTURE LIGHT INDUSTRIAL OUTLOT FUTURE PUBLIC PARK ARRIVAL DRI V E IMMANUEL UNITED METHODIST CHURCH SCHOBER HOMESTEAD ENCORE | PULTE HOMES Corcoran , Minnesota CONCEPT PLAN April, 2018SATHRE-BERGQUIST INC.north CO U N T Y R O A D 1 0 1 / B R O C K T O N L A N E N O R T H WETLAND WETLAND PRIVATE AMENITY CENTER ENTRANCE MONUMENT PUBLIC OPEN SPACE SITE DATA 44’ LOTS - 153 50’ LOTS - 181 60’ LOTS - 64 TOTAL - 398 SINGLE FAMILY LOTS LEGEND 44’ WIDE LOT 50’ WIDE LOT 60’ WIDE LOT SIDEWALK WETLAND POND TRAIL FUTURE TRAIL HUNTERS RIDGE PUBLIC PARK COUNTY ROAD 30 CO U N T Y R O A D 1 1 6 STIEG R O A D COMMERCIAL OUTLOT A FUTURE COMMERCIAL OUTLOT FUTURE LIGHT INDUSTRIAL OUTLOT FUTURE PUBLIC PARK ARRIVAL DRI V E IMMANUEL UNITED METHODIST CHURCH SCHOBER HOMESTEAD ENCORE | PULTE HOMES Corcoran , Minnesota CONCEPT PLAN April, 2018SATHRE-BERGQUIST INC.north CO U N T Y R O A D 1 0 1 / B R O C K T O N L A N E N O R T H WETLAND WETLAND PRIVATE AMENITY CENTER ENTRANCE MONUMENT PUBLIC OPEN SPACE SITE DATA 44’ LOTS - 153 50’ LOTS - 181 60’ LOTS - 64 TOTAL - 398 SINGLE FAMILY LOTS LEGEND 44’ WIDE LOT 50’ WIDE LOT 60’ WIDE LOT SIDEWALK WETLAND POND TRAIL FUTURE TRAIL HUNTERS RIDGE PUBLIC PARK COUNTY ROAD 30 CO U N T Y R O A D 1 1 6 STIEG R O A D COMMERCIAL OUTLOT A FUTURE COMMERCIAL OUTLOT FUTURE LIGHT INDUSTRIAL OUTLOT FUTURE PUBLIC PARK ARRIVAL DRI V E IMMANUEL UNITED METHODIST CHURCH SCHOBER HOMESTEAD 8c. MEMO Meeting Date: May 29, 2018 To: Parks and Trails Commission From: Kevin Mattson, Public Works Director Re: City Park Irrigation Plan ______________________________________________________________________ The City received notice from the Northwest Jaycees that they plan to donate funding for an irrigation system for the Meister Field Improvements project. The estimated cost of the irrigation system and associated booster pump is $16,535. The irrigation system will provide an improved surface condition and reduce the seeding establishment period required before resuming field activities. The irrigation work is scheduled to begin in June with the final ballfield restoration to follow. In addition, a new drinking fountain, serviced by the city’s new downtown water system, is planned for installation later this summer as part of the improvement project. Other incidental costs for electrical power supply and the water connection will be covered by remaining project funds and the 2018 park budget expenses. Staff is requesting the Parks and Trails Commission recommend staff proceed with the project. The City Council will be asked to give the final approval at the June 14th meeting. Attachment: None 8d. MEMO Meeting Date: May 29, 2018 To: Parks and Trails Commission From: Brad Martens, City Administrator Re: Lake Independence Regional Trail Master Planning ______________________________________________________________________ The Three Rivers Park District is in the process of master planning for eight regional trails including Lake Independence Regional Trail. The goal of the master planning project is to satisfy the Metropolitan Council funding requirements. As part of the process, Three Rivers Park District is reaching out to the City of Corcoran to receive input on the trail and to identify current and future planning projects or issues that may impact the trails or corridors. On May 22nd staff took part in a conference call to update Three Rivers Park District on Corcoran’s plans including the updated 2040 Parks and Trails plan. Through that conversation we learned that a public bike repair station will be installed this summer which will include available air for tires as well as some commonly used tools attached to cables. The station was funded by Hennepin County Active Living. In order to provide additional feedback, it is requested that the Parks and Trails Commission provide any additional comments/requests at the meeting for staff to pass on for the process. Additionally, Three Rivers Park District is coordinating with Corcoran staff to potentially have an event in collaboration with the Night to Unite event at the Public Works facility on August 7th to receive additional commu nity input.

This year-long process was kicked off with a joint City Council/Commission work session on March 16th followed by three community open houses/events and several commission meetings and Council work sessions. The Parks and Trails Commission reviewed at their March 20th meeting, the Planning Commission held a public hearing on April 5th and on April 26th the City Council approved the 2040 Comprehensive Plan for distribution to adjacent jurisdictions for comment. The adjacent jurisdictions have six months to review and comment and then Corcoran will send to the Metropolitan Council to review for compliance with regional systems. 2.Dog Kennel Ordinance Update (City file 17-037). The Council directed the Planning Commission to review the Kennel standards in the ordinance and make a recommendation about whether any changes are needed. The Commission discussed the item at their October 5th meeting and asked that it be placed on a future meeting agenda for more discussion. The Planning Commission discussed this at the January 4th meeting and their recommendation was presented to the Council at the January 25th meeting for consideration. At their January 25th meeting, Council considered the Commission’s recommendation, but instead directed staff to prepare a draft ordinance that only allows kennels in commercial zoning districts and schedule for a Public Hearing at the Planning Commission and Council action in June. 3.Animal Ordinance (city file 17-038). The City has received questions about allowing animals in commercial areas, specifically bees and chickens. The Council considered this item at their January 25th meeting and established a subcommittee to review the issues and bring back a recommendation to the City Council. Staff will present the subcommittee recommendation at the May 24th Council meeting. 4.Right-of-Way, 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-wa y 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. At their January 25th meeting, Council directed staff to prepare a draft ordinance and schedule for a Public Hearing at the Planning Commission and Council action. Staff is expanding this effort to include the creation of a ROW ordinance and will present options to the Council at the June 28th meeting. 5.EAW and Sketch Plan for “Encore” (PID 1211923120001, 0111923430002 & 0111923440001) (city file 18-004). Pulte has submitted a revised sketch plan and is working with the City to prepare Agenda Item 9a. MEMORANDUM 2 an EAW (Environmental Assessment Worksheet) for approval of 393 single family lots. The City Council reviewed this item at their February 22nd meeting. The EAW is currently out for public review. The 30-day comment period ends on April 11th. The City Council will take action on the EAW at the May 10th meeting. 6. Natural Resource Protection Ordinance (city file 18-010). The Council directed staff to look at options to preserve trees and natural resources to maintain the rural character of the community in both rural and urban areas. Staff with gather information for Council review at the May meeting. 7. Southeast District Master Plan and Design Guidelines update (city file 18-012). The draft 2040 Comprehensive Plan anticipates significant changes to the transportation network that make it necessary to update this plan, which is adopted as Appendix B of the Zoning Ordinance. At the April 26th meeting, the Council authorized staff to begin this work. 8. Nuisance Ordinance ordinance/process update (city file 18-013). The Council has directed staff to be more proactive in the Code Enforcement efforts. Review of the ordinance and policies suggests that updates are needed in several areas. Staff will present the City Council with a work plan and schedule at the May 24th meeting. 9. Development Rights and OS&P ordinance updates (city file 18-014). One of the implementation strategies from the Draft 2040 Comprehensive Plan was to consider amendments to the OS&P ordinance to better reflect City goals. The Council is also considering changes to the development rights program. Staff will present a work plan and schedule at the May 24th Council meeting. 10. Discussion of the Development Process and Financial Guarantees for Land Use. The Council approved a change in City policy for financial guarantees for the Bass Lake Crossing South development and asked for a more comprehensive discussion to better understand the development process, financial guarantees and options. Staff will provide information at the May 24th Council meeting. 11. Rezoning, Preliminary Plat and Preliminary PUD Development Plan for “Encore” (PID 1211923120001, 0111923430002 & 0111923440001) (city file 18-016). Pulte has submitted a request for approval of “Encore”, Minnesota’s first Del Webb community. The item is scheduled for Parks and Trails Commission review on May 15th, a public hearing at the Planning Commission on June 7th and City Council action on June 28th. 12. Preliminary PUD Development Plan and Preliminary Plat for Fehn Meadows 2nd Addition (City file 18-017). Chris Rains submitted a request for a 14 lot OS&P plat on County Road 117. The item is scheduled for Parks and Trails Commission review on May 15th, a public hearing at the Planning Commission on June 7th and City Council action on June 28th. 13. Sketch Plan for “Edgewater of Corcoran” at 19220 County Road 10 (PID 25-119-23-14-0003 and 25-119-23-14-0002) (City file 18-018). Trek Development, Inc. has submitted a sketch plan for a residential development with a senior living continuum of care complex, apartment and single family homes. The Council will review the sketch plan at the May 24th meeting. 14. Lot Line Adjustment and Plat Modification for Ravinia 7th and 9th Addition (City file 18-019). Lennar has submitted a plat modification for Ravinia 9th Addition and a series of lot line adjustment for Ravinia 7th Addition. There was a slight overlap in the Ravinia 7th and 9th Addition plats, which requires some adjustment to approximately 9 lots. The City Code allows these changes to 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 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. MEMORANDUM 3 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 July 2017 to discuss the outstanding issues and future expansion plans on the property. 3. Sawgrass Preliminary Plat, Preliminary PUD Development Plan and Rezoning for 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.
