RE: Preliminary Plat, Final Plat and Variance for the property at 22505 Strehler Rd (PID
20-119-23-14-0001 and PID 20-119-23-11-0001) (City File 19-014)
REVIEW DEADLINE: September 14, 2019
1.Description of Request
Ebert Construction has submitted a request on behalf of Diann C Strehler Trust for a preliminary
plat, a final plat and a variance to create two lots from the existing 118.67-acre parcel.
The proposed Lot 2 does not have access to a public road and requires a variance to create a lot
that does not meet the minimum frontage (lot width) requirement. The owners have obtained an
easement from the Kienitz’s to cross their property to access Strehler Road on the east.
Lot 2 is being created and therefore is subject to park dedication. Lot 1 has an existing home and is
not subject to a park dedication requirement until further development happens.
2.Context
Zoning and Land Use
The site is zoned Rural Residential and guided as Rural/Ag Residential on the 2030 and 2040
Comprehensive Plan. The site is outside of the 2040 MUSA.
Surrounding Properties
The properties to the south and east are guided Rural/Ag Residential on both the 2030 and 2040
Comprehensive Plan. The properties to the Northwest, North and West are guided Agricultural
Preserve on both the 2030 and 2040 Comprehensive Plan. All surrounding properties are zoned
Rural Residential.
Natural Characteristics of the Site
Hennepin County maps and the 2030 and 2040 Comprehensive Plan indicate several potential
wetlands throughout the site. The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) indicated a
100-year flood plain is also present on the property.
Item 8a.
Strehler Preliminary Plat and Variance (9-014) 2
August 15, 2019
3. An alysis 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.
Parks and Trails
While reviewing the application staff used the adopted 2030 Comprehensive Plan Parks and Trails
Map and the draft 2040 Comprehensive Plan Parks and Trails Map. The City has approved the 2040
plan, but the Metropolitan Council has not yet completed its review and authorized the City to adopt
the plan formally.
The 2030 Parks and Trails Map shows a proposed north/south horseback trail along the border of
the proposed Lots 1 and 2 that is not included in the 2040 Parks and Trails Map. Both the 2030 and
2040 Parks and Trails map show a proposed on-road trail along Strehler Road to the north of the
site, a proposed off-road trail along the border of proposed Lots 1 and 2 and proposed OSP/Nature
Park directly south of the site.
Staff recommends cash-in-lieu of the dedication. If the dedication is land, the trail would not be able
to extend past the northern border of proposed Lot 2. In addition to this, there are wetlands,
floodplains and poor soils in the area between Lot 1 and 2 that would make the development of the
trail difficult.
Park Dedication Requirements
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. Lot 1 is an
existing developed lot and is exempt from park dedication. The remaining lot, Lot 2, will require 1.58
acres of park dedication for the 39.6-acre lot.
Park dedication credits shall be given for the net area of the trail easements. The estimated length of
the off-road trail easement along the west lot line of Lot 2 is 1,342 feet. A 20-foot trail easement
would provide a park dedication credit of 0.61 acres. This would not fully meet the park dedication
requirements and the remaining park dedication (approximately 0.97 acres or 61% of the overall
total) would be cash-in-lieu of land.
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 development, 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 cash fee due for Lot 2 would be $3,970. Only 39% of the land would be required, the remainder
of the cash in lieu of land fee is required ($3,970 x 61% = $2,422).
Staff recommends that cash-in-lieu be taken for Lot 2 and acquisition of the trail easement should be
deferred until Lot 1 is further subdivided and the entire trail segment from Strehler Road to the south
property line could be obtained.
Strehler Preliminary Plat and Variance (9-014) 3
August 15, 2019
4. Recommendation
Move to recommend approval of the cash-in-lieu of land fee for the entirety of the park dedication.

9. Residential Development Standards. In 2019, City Council asked staff to update the Guidebook for

different densities and design constraints. The guidebook was presented for discussion at the May
23rd Council meeting. Council asked for more time for the tour and directed staff to schedule a
discussion at the July 25th Work Session.

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.

could be considered at the February 23, 2017 Council meeting. At that meeting, the City Council
