WORK SESSION STAFF REPORT
Work Session Item No. 1
Date: April 24, 2017
To: City Council
From: Jeff Karlson
Re: Charter Commission Request for Additional Funding
Background
The Charter Commission recently submitted a request for an additional $4,000 in its 2017
operating budget. The Council discussed this request at the April 3rd work session and directed
staff to contact Commission Chair Caroline for more specific information about what the
additional funds was for and what the attorney’s fees were.
Ms. Dahl responded via email to clarify that the Commission is seeking a “permanent” budget
increase, which would increase its annual budget for attorney fees to $5,500.
Requested Council Direction
Consider Charter Commission’s request.

WORK SESSION STAFF REPORT
Work Session Item No. 5
Date: April 3, 2017
To: City Council
From: Jeff Karlson
Re: Charter Commission Request for Additional Funding
Background
The Charter Commission recently submitted a request for an additional $4,000 in its 2017
operating budget. The Council has received many requests from the Commission in past years.
The Council amended the Commission’s budget in 2007 and 2014 for Council-initiated Charter
amendments.
The Charter Commission’s current budget is $1,500, which is established in state law for charter
cities that are not first class. Minnesota Statute 410.06 states the following:
The amount of reasonable and necessary charter commission expenses that shall be so
paid by the city shall not exceed in any one year the sum of $10,000 for a first class city
and $1,500 for any other city; but the council may authorize such additional charter
commission expenses as it deems necessary.
Commission Chair Caroline Dahl points out in her letter that the Commission’s current budget is
substantially less than what it was in the 1990’s. Staff researched previous budget years going
back to 1995 and found the City had budgeted as much as $6,710, but none of those funds were
directed by the Charter Commission. The Charter Commission’s budget for legal services has
been $1,500 since 2007.
Since 2007 the Council has approved three budget amendments. The first amendment was in
2007 for $5,250, due to a study conducted in 2007 by the Citizen’s Task Force, which proposed
amendments to Section 8. The second budget amendment occurred in 2013 when the Council
agreed to provide $1,000 for TimeSaver, Inc. to take minutes at Charter Commission meetings.
The Council budgeted for this expense starting in 2015. The third amendment included
additional funding of $1,325 in 2014 for two Council-initiated amendments to Section 8.
Requested Council Direction
Consider Charter Commission’s request.

1. Review Proposed 2017 Blue Heron Days Events Schedule – Director 15
DeGardner introduced Recreation Supervisors Brian Hronski and Ali Luken to review 16
plans for this year’s city festival, Blue Heron Days. (See PowerPoint Presentation for 17
outline of Friday, Saturday and Sunday activities) 18
19
The council asked that the event be presented on the city’s cable channel as well as the 20
planned advertisements. 21

DeGardner 23
3. LED Retrofit Proposal - Legacy at Woods Edge Street Lights, Civic Complex 24
Parking Lot Lights, and Civic Complex Exterior Building Lights - Director 25
DeGardener introduced the proposed contractor for the project, Jeff Rutz of Meridian 26
Energy Products (who completed a lighting upgrade project recently at the city hall 27
complex). Mr. DeGardner noted that staff is recommending a project to retrofit exterior 28
lighting with a goal to reduce energy costs. He noted the proposed project cost and a 29
payback period of approximately four years. Mr. DeGardner explained how the 30
opportunity has come forward to have an exterior project. 31
32
Council Member Rafferty recalled that he had previously brought forward the idea of 33
upgrading this lighting and at that time the concept was based on a ten year payback; this 34
is better. Also he’s curious about how the change actually occurs – would this involve 35
new fixtures? 36
37
Mr. Rutz explained that with the custom lights present in the project area, there was 38
previously only one vendor who could retrofit the lights. Now there is more opportunity, 39
creating more ease and less cost through a retrofit (no fixture replacement). 40
41
Council Member Maher asked about the warranty and Mr. Rutz said it would be 100,000 42
hours. She noted that there shouldn’t then be any difference in longevity or warrantee 43

with the different bulb. Mr. Rutz added that the product would be industry standard. 44
45
Council Member Rafferty complimented Director DeGardner on bringing the 46
improvement forward. 47
4. Public Safety Department Police Division Vehicle Replacement Policy - 48
Public Safety Director Swenson reviewed the history of council consideration and 49
changes to this proposed policy. At one point the council received a presentation on 50
vehicle leasing. 51
52
Mayor Reinert recalled that the equipment replacement plan is a budget item and 53
therefore was moved to that process. That is now out of this policy. 54
55
Director Swenson explained that the draft policy calls for replaement at five years or 56
90,000 miles. (Mayor Reinert said he thought the figure was 100,000 miles.) Director 57
Swenson reviewed the policy, indicating that the council has the final consideration of 58
retiring a vehicle. The council discussed how to achieve replacement at “a minimum of 59
100,000 or five years”. 60
61
Council Member Rafferty remarked that a typical user of a vehicle (not in a fleet) may 62
take it to 200,000 and he thinks the police vehicles are actually built better. It doesn’t 63
seem unlikely that a police vehicle could reach 150,000. He thinks the policy can be 64
tweaked and improved still. 65
66
Mayor Reinert asked what would happen if you reached 100,000 at three years? 67
68
Council Member Rafferty suggested that the council should perhaps be making the 69
replacement decision. He noted that the department here isn’t getting those kind of 70
numbers at any rate. 71
72
Council Member Maher suggested it isn’t unreasonable to expect 100,000 miles on a 73
vehicle but there could be units where it doesn’t make sense to bring them that far. 74
75
The mayor added the suggested language “with a goal of having vehicles last five years”. 76
77
Council Member Manthey recalled that the Enterprise professionals who gave a leasing 78
presentation to the council had suggested that they wouldn’t run cars too long because the 79
value decreases. Council Member Rafferty explained that his research indicates that the 80
value is not an issue – it’s very low after fleet use and doesn’t change very much between 81
60,000 and 100,000. 82
83
Director Swenson referenced in sections 5 and 6 in the policy. To clarify, he hears the 84
council requesting the language “at least five years and a minimum of 100,000 miles”. 85
He added that he would anticipate bringing the question of replacement to the council the 86
year previous to the year replacement cars are actually budgeted and purchased. 87

88
Council Member Rafferty reviewed language in the policy regarding purchase 89
authorization (through the administrator). He heard that the concept is that it hasn’t been 90
used in the past but it could have been; Administrator Karlson explained that staff is 91
planning to increase the amount of information available to the council for the budget for 92
each vehicle (a higher level of detail). 93
94
Council Member Rafferty noted procedures – some of those seem to be repetitive as far 95
as what’s already been stated. Overall, he feels the policy here should indicate in some 96
way that this will be respectful of use of the taxpayers funds and, to be clear, it is all 97
vehicles, not just the police fleet. He recommends striking the langusge “based on 98
commonly used standards of police vehicles”. Karlson suggested also striking “A” from 99
that section. 100
101
Public Safety Director Swenson indicated that he would be adding consideration of 102
approving the policy to the next regular council agenda. 103
104
4a. Discussion Regarding Number of Vehicles - Council Member Rafferty 105
explained that he’s looked at like size cities, and he distributed and reviewed information 106
on his findings. The figures indicated in his research document are police vehicles (not 107
exclusively patrol cars). Council Member Rafferty suggested that the numbers indicate 108
that the City’s ratio is high. He wonders if the City really has the right number of 109
vehicles. That may be why we don’t get to 100,000 miles, because we have a high ratio 110
of cars to personnel. Council Member Manthey suggested that he’d like to see the 111
information broken down further – how many squad cars. 112
5. Charter Commission Request for Additional Funding - Administrator Karlson 113
noted the written staff report and request for additional funding. He understands that the 114
commission is fairly close to having their amendment ready for submission, having 115
received the comments of the city attorney. 116
117
Mayor Reinert remarked that funding isn’t generally granted by this council without any 118
quotes for a defined service. That would be the same treatment for any group or staff. 119
It’s a matter of the council understanding what is being requested and the cost. 120
121
Council Member Maher remarked that the Commission has worked on a small annual 122
budget which equates to about three hours of attorney time – not much in the scope of 123
that type of work. She expects that the Commission is getting an amendment together so 124
they may have timing to consider but she’d also like to see a quote. 125
126
Council Member Manthey suggested that he believes the Commission wants its autonomy 127
and he respects that. He’s not sure where he falls on increasing the budget. 128
129
Council Member Maher said she understands that legal fees can be very expensive and if 130
it’s a year when the Commission wants to send forward an amendment, a request for 131
CITY COUNCIL WORK SESSION April 3, 2017

additional funding is understandable; she would like the additional information though. 132
133
The council concurred that the Commission should come forward with a specific quote in 134
order for the council to consider additional funding. 135
6. 2017 Street Overlay, Under-Seal Process – City Engineer Hankee noted that the 136
City has received bids for this project and they came in favorable to the project estimate. 137
There is additional information included in the staff report on the under-seal process. 138
Since accepting the bid results is an action included for the April 10th council meeting, 139
she suggests looking at the under seal element. She explained that the process is being 140
used by some northern communities – it is an application of a chip seal under the 141
pavement to reduce water and reduce reflective cracking. There is more information in 142
the staff report indicating MnDOT’s favorable experience with the process. She suggests 143
that it would be a good test case to utilize the process within this overlay project. Ms. 144
Hankee noted that the option to include this recommended process will be part of what 145
comes forward to the council at the next meeting. 146
147
Engineer Hankee also reviewed the recommendation to accept the low bid of North 148
Valley for the 2017 Overlay Project. With the favorable bids, the alternate should also be 149
possible. 150
7. Comprehensive Plan - Community Development Director Grochala noted that 151
the comp plan information provided informs the council on the requirement for a plan 152
update, the history (the City started this process in 1974), the Metropolitan Council role, 153
conformance requirements, the elements included in the plan, and the intent of staging 154
(how the city will grow, when where and why). Staff utilizes the city’s comp plan often. 155
He noted that the staff report contains City Planner Larsen’s report of the previous year 156
that includes more detailed information on what will be included in the update. The 157
internal team is working on the process already. The council can expect to see a joint 158
meeting with the advisory boards in May. 159
8. Council Updates on Boards/Commissions - Council Member Maher remarked 160
that there have been no meetings (they’ve been cancelled) but she’s received a discovery 161
request related to North Metro TV. 162
9. Monthly Progress Report - Administrator Karlson reviewed the written report 163
and specifically updated the council on the scanning project and the council chambers 164
upgrade project. 165
10. Compensatory Time for Exempt Employees – Council Member Rafferty 166
recalled a previous discussion with the Administrator where this system came up and he 167
has called for additional review. What he didn’t understand with the information 168
provided is how the union contract impacts this situation. Also he wonders about the 169
individuals who are included but don’t regularly attend meetings. 170
CITY COUNCIL WORK SESSION April 3, 2017
DRAFT
5
171
Administrator Karlson reviewed the history of the benefit (included in a handout). 172
Historically the benefit was granted through mediation. Non-union employees also 173
received the benefit to be fair. 174
175
Council Member Rafferty remarked that, putting aside the union employees, he doesn’t 176
see it’s appropriate to grant this to directors. That level of employee is getting paid at a 177
higher salary and it’s tied to getting their job done. 178
179
Administrator Karlson suggested that he fears that type of change would send a message 180
of unfairness to some employees. 181
182
Council Member Manthey suggested that the matter be discussed as policy and not 183
opinion. Without the factual information, it’s hard for him to consider the subject matter. 184
185
Mayor Reinert noted that he seconded having the discussion on the agenda. He doesn’t 186
feel that having a discussion when there are questions is a bad idea. He wanted more 187
information because he didn’t recall hearing of this practice for the employees. 188
189
Council Member Maher suggested it isn’t an unusual practice. 190
191
The council concurred that the matter should be discussed, and questioned openly, but 192
with the information they need to properly review it. Administrator Karlson asked what 193
additional information the council would need. 194
195
Council Member Manthey asked if there is a policy on how the comp time can be used. 196
Administrator Karlson replied that there is not a restriction; where he worked previously 197
there was a restriction of eight hours per pay period. It was clarified that there is not a 198
payment attached to the comp time and it disappears if not used within the year it’s 199
earned. 200
11. Review Regular Agenda 201
202
EDA Meeting – Community Development Director Grochala explained that the EDA 203
will be asked to transfer the land that is being considered for sale to the American Legion. 204
The land title would be transferred to the city since the EDA actually holds the property. 205
The action would move the title to the city for three lots. The council could then take 206
action later on the agenda to approve second reading of the ordinance providing for the 207
actual land sale. 208
209
Item 4A, Police Division Staffing Study – Director Swenson explained that he had 210
requested funding for a professional staffing study but that was not included in the 211
approved city budget. He therefore looked at the use of forfeiture monies as a funding 212
source and he has verified that is a legal use of those funds. He proposes to hire 213
Springsted for a study, as outlined in the staff report. Mayor Reinert asked for more 214

6
details and Director Swenson explained the steps of the process, including council input, 215
and recommendations coming forward at the end. The mayor said he would not support 216
the study and he noted the cost of $17,000. Council Member Manthey suggested that a 217
review of the staffing, especially since the council has been discussing police needs, 218
seems appropriate to him; it could also be helpful with upcoming strategic planning for 219
the future. Council Member Rafferty remarked that the population of the city hasn’t 220
increased greatly and that raises a question for him about the need for more police 221
officers. Mayor Reinert suggested that the management team should understand staffing 222
needs for their respective departments. 223
224
The council concurred that the request for authorization of a study should not go forward. 225
They invited staff to come forward and discuss staffing at a future meeting. 226
Item 6A – Consider Resolution No. 17-26, Approving Change Orders No. 1 & 2 and 227
the Final Payment No. 8 for the Construction of Well No. 6 - City Engineer Hankee 228
reviewed the written staff report. With the two change orders, the project is still within 229
the budget. She briefly reviewed the content of the change orders. The mayor confirmed 230
that these change orders wouldn’t have an impact on the results of the original bid 231
process. 232
233
Item 6C - Consider Resolution No. 17-29 Denying Conditional Use Permit for Home 234
Occupation Permit Level C at 180 Pine Street – City Planner Larsen reviewed the 235
request for a Conditional Use Permit (CUP) for a home occupation and staff’s 236
recommendation to deny the request based on the basic inability of the street/area to 237
handle additional use and traffic. The existing homes are very close and although this lot 238
is large, the neighbors are close. The Planning and Zoning Board recommended denial of 239
the request. 240

PUBLIC COMMENT 15
16
Robert Sibell, 7898 Century Trail, explained that he has lived at his home for six years and has been 17
on the homeowners board for several years. Tonight he is representing all 49 homeowners in the 18
North Century Farms Homeowners Association. He noted that many residents have lived in their 19
homes for a long period and have waited up to 14 years for the park development that they understood 20
would be a part of the area when they moved in. They are asking now that the city follow through on 21
the program. They would like trail access to the regional park also. They feel the area has been 22
neglected. The area is wonderful but pedestrian access to amenities is poor. (He showed several 23
slides that are on file). Funding should be the developer’s responsibility but that has not been 24
fulfilled. They recommend enforcing the development agreement. He noted several reasons why 25
the city should be able to proceed with the park and trail development. 26
27
Mayor Reinert noted that the Century Farms development is a model from a couple decades back. He 28
recalled that there was dedicated park land within that development. Now the council is more clear 29
with the developer when plans come forward, in order to get parks developed early. Regarding a trail 30
for the area, there is a fabulous trail system in the city and it’s understandable that people want to 31
access that. Mayor Reinert suggested that the matter be discussed at the next council work session 32
with staff directed to bring forward more information for the May 1, 2017 meeting. 33
34
Community Development Director Grochala reviewed the history of the dedicated park land, 35
including its current status and plans for a trail in the vicinity. 36

Permit Level C at 180 Pine Street – City Planner Larsen reviewed a PowerPoint presentation (on file) 143
outlining the request and the staff recommendation: 144
- Location of the business (northwest edge of the city); 145
- Accessory structure from which proposed business would be operated; 146
- Zoning and land use in the area; 147
- Parcel size of 29 acres; 148
- Background on home occupation regulations (this would be a Level kC, a higher level of permit 149
requiring a CUP); 150
- The applicant’s narrative that outlines the activities that would be involved in the home business, 151
including storage needs; 152
- Staff comments (if the home occupation use were to be allowed); 153
- Findings of fact (relating to transportation and including the city engineer’s review and 154
recommendations regarding use of a gravel road; utility plans; local water management plan; 155
capital improvement plan; policy, the use not being consistent; natural enviroment; compatibility 156
with future land uses in the area; performance standards; 157
- Planning and Zoning Board review, including one neighbor speaking against the proposal and the 158
Board Chair’s knowledge about concerns at the applicant’s current property in the city; 159
- Applicant’s survey of residents in the area. 160
- Projections for traffic increases if the use were approved. 161
162
Staff clarified that the applicant doesn’t currently live at 180 Pine Street. The current property use is a 163
home without a business. 164
165
Mr. Witzel, the applicant, provided information using a PowerPoint presentation. He provided details 166
on: 167
- Business vehicles that are normally brought home at night; 168
- His primary place of business is in Fridley and would remain there; he lives in Lino Lakes and 169
would like to operate some of the business at this location; 170
- His Fridley property has been described as an island of commercial in a sea of residential (he 171
pointed out the homes in the area) and noted that the area residents are not complaining; 172
COUNCIL MINUTES April 10, 2017
DRAFT

- He wants to be up front with the city about his plans for the property, if he goes ahead with the 173
purchase. He’s aware of many home businesses that have not done the same; 174
- The properties around the proposed business have been contacted and he’s not heard of a proble, 175
except for one person who has a concern and that is based on the fear of a building being 176
constructed that would block their view and that there would be strangers in the area (he noted his 177
employees are highly vetted so shouldn’t be a problem); 178
- Regarding use of the roadway and fear that it would not hold up, there are many heavy uses 179
occuring currently including large trucks (garbage vehicles) using the road; 180
- Pictures of the property, showing where things are; 181
- Picture of his family, who lives in Lino Lakes. 182
183
He also read a letter provided by the mayor of the City of Fridley, commending him/his business on 184
being a good presence in that city and past willingness to respond to any concerns. 185
186
Council Member Rafferty noted existing conditions and current guidelines and regulations and the 187
council’s responsibility to follow them. 188
189
Mayor Reinert asked staff to reiterate their reasons for recommending denial and expand and respond to 190
the applicant’s comments. 191
Planner Larsen noted that there is no home occupation permit at this address now and there is none at 192
Mr. Witzel’s current address (applicant noted that four of his children drive work vans and come and go). 193
Ms. Larsen outlined the city’s regulations for home occupations and the levels and allowed uses and their 194
relation to intensity of use. Staff would be more than happy to work with the applicant to find an 195
appropriately zoned property for his business in the city and one that would not become an issue for the 196
surrounding neighborhoods and the transportation system of the city. 197
198
Council Member Manthey asked about the size of vehicles used (3/4 ton vans) and how many employees 199
he expects. Mr. Witzel explained that he has overestimated those figures in his application to make sure 200
he is being completely transparent. The applicant also said he isn’t sure that he’d have the dumpster 201
emptied twice a week but again he is trying to be completely above board and he noted that there are a 202
great many vehicles, including many garbage trucks from different companies, utilizing the roadway. 203
Council Member Manthey asked if the applicant were to be allowed the use, would he be willing to 204
comply with the staff recommendations. 205
206
Mayor Reinert remarked that the property offers the size for the business to grow. 207
208
Mr. Witzel added that he’s discussed the possibility of adding screening fencing. 209
210
It was clarified that Mr. Witzel would be moving to the property. He wouldn’t purchase the property 211
without this use in place. 212
213
Council Member Maher noted that there are four children working and driving for the business and there 214
are three younger children that could possibility become drivers for the business in the future. If there 215

were materials delivered, what would be the biggest size delivery vehicles? Mr. Witzel explained that 216
the deliveries are typically to Fridley and the truck size isn’t huge. 217
218
Council Member Kusterman said he can understand the concern of a neighbor about increased traffic. 219
He asked the applicant if there is anyway to assauage the concerns of the neighbor? Mr. Witzel 220
explained the operations that people experience with the current use (farm, air field); Mayor Reinert 221
noted that it hasn’t been a business use though. 222
223
Community Development Director Grochala remarked that he isn’t sure about working out the issues but 224
it is clear that there are regulations in place and the use proposed by this application would not be 225
allowed in a residential area. The applicant has pointed out uses that are occuring in the area but that 226
doesn’t mean what he proposes is allowed. He recalled that Pine Street was paved because people in a 227
certain area of it requested and paid for it; those past a certain point decided they didn’t want the work 228
done because the road is less used. 229
230
Council Member Maher asked if the resident who is concerned was present and another neighbor who 231
was present said no and explained her awareness of the concern – it’s about having strangers (customers) 232
coming into the area; she added that there is a lot of traffic already and across in Columbus pretty much 233
anything is allowed. She doesn’t feel the proposed business will create a problem. 234
235
Jason Schenkin, speaking on behalf of Steve Witzel. Mr. Witzel has been a great mentor for him and he 236
can attest that he will be a stand up neighbor who will any address concerns that arise. Mayor Reinert 237
thanked Mr. Schenkin but noted that the issue isn’t the applicant’s character but the question for the 238
council is the precedent granting this request would set for, perhaps, an applicant of different character. 239
There isn’t an easy way to take back a CUP once it is issued. Ms. Larsen added that one of the 240
requirements of all home occupations is that there should be no exterior evidence of the business. 241
Community Development Director Grochala added that the city has never issued a Level C home 242
occupation CUP because it is a fairly new regulation. He also noted that there are many code 243
enforcements underway related to illegally operating home businesses but at those can be addressed by a 244
cease and desist order. 245
246
Mayor Reinert noted concerns: setting precedent, traffic on a dirt road; neighbor concerns. On the other 247
hand, the council is hearing that this is a good business operator who would be fair to the neighbors. 248
249
Council Member Manthey said he is supportive of allowing people to do what they want to do on their 250
property but he doesn’t see a way to set this in motion without any control. He’d like to understand more 251
specifics about the business that would be occuring and see more of a detailed plan. 252
253
The mayor suggested that the council could vote now or wait and get more information. 254
255
Council Member Kusterman remarked that he has a responsibility to hear the concerns of the area 256
residents and to understand the setting of precedent. 257
258
Council Member Maher remarked that she is less concerned about precedent. This is a full picture (the 259
future) and if the council chooses to allow a CUP they can do so for reason they feel are appropriate. If 260
COUNCIL MINUTES April 10, 2017
DRAFT

the vote were to occur now, she would support the request. 261
262
Council Member Rafferty added that the council has received good information and he appreciates the 263
level provided by the applicant. To him, the past is important as well as the future. He would be not in 264
favor of allowing the CUP based on current information. 265
266
Council Member Kusterman moved to approve Resolution No. 17-29 as presented. Council Member 267
Rafferty seconded the motion. 268
269
Council Member Manthey said he doesn’t want to see Mr. Witzel purchase the land and not be able to 270
utilize as he chooses so, not having enough information to allow the use, he would have to support the 271
staff recommendation. 272
273
Council Member Rafferty pondered the possibility of postponement; could the council gain anything 274
from that? 275
276
Council Member Kusterman said he would withdraw his motion if the majority of the council would 277
like to study the matter further. 278
279
Council Member Manthey asked if there is more information the applicant thinks that he could 280
provide. Otherwise he doesn’t see it as a good decision to go forward, even for the applicant. 281
282
Mayor Reinert remarked that he sees that the council wants to say yes because Mr. Witzel is a long 283
term resident and they respect people’s rights but they have certain responsibilities. 284
285
Council Member Kusterman asked if there is a way to make the CUP less precedent setting. Ms. 286
Larsen said the CUP would be specific to this property but it would stay with the property regardless 287
of the owner. The council could add conditions. 288
289
Council Member Maher remarked that the council has the opportunity to grant a CUP and set 290
parameters that they see as appropriate. The mayor responded that parameters should really be set by 291
ordinance and not special action though. 292
293
The question was asked, what business would meet the requirements of a Level C Home Occupation? 294
Mr. Grochala suggested that location would be key (such as paved roadway). He added that the 295
Level C allows for a certain number of vehicle trips in and out. There is concern that this is 296
introducing a level of activity that doesn’t fit in the location. 297
298
Motion carried on a voice vote. Council Member Maher recorded as voting “no”. 299

agreement to sell? Director Grochala said the ordinance authorizes execution of a purchase agreement 306
that was prepared by the city attorney; that agreement includes a closing date and basically a six month 307
window of opportunity. Mayor Reinert noted that the city intends to work with the American Legion to 308
be fair but with understanding of the nature of their business and the time it takes to move on the 309
purchase. 310

INTRODUCTION
David M. Von Ruden of Mattamy Homes, and the land development coordinator of
Watermark, a residential subdivision is requesting a 6 month extension for submittal of the
PUD Final Plan/Final Plat for Watermark.
BACKGROUND
On June 13, 2016 the City Council passed Resolution No. 16-51 approving the PUD
Development Stage Plan/Preliminary Plat for Watermark.
Mattamy Homes has requested a 6 month extension and is currently looking for a buyer for this
property as they look to liquefy their Minnesota holding. Negotiations are under way with a
potential buyer but the timeline on this deal is unknown. The property will need to go through
final engineering and entitlement work before it can be Final Platted. This extension will allow
any potential buyers and city staff the time necessary to complete the final engineering and
design work.
The City’s zoning and subdivision ordinance requires a complete application for PUD Final
Plan/Final Plat be submitted no later than one year after the date of approval of the preliminary
plat (June 2016). The City Council may grant a 6 month extension upon request of the
developer.
RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends approval of Resolution No. 17-32 granting a 6 month extension until
December 13, 2017 for submittal of the PUD Final Plan/Final Plat for Watermark.

The applicant has submitted a land use application for final plat of NorthPointe 5th Addition.
This review is based on the NorthPointe 5th Addition Street and Utility Plan Set and final plat
dated February 17, 2017 and prepared by Carlson McCain.

• July 11, 2016: NorthPointe 4th Addition Final Plat, Resolution No. 16-64
ANALYSIS
Subdivision Ordinance
Conformity with the Comprehensive Plan and Zoning Code
The final plat has been reviewed for compliance with the comprehensive plan, zoning and
subdivision ordinance. The proposed development is not considered premature and meets the
performance standards of the subdivision and zoning ordinance. The final plat is consistent
with the PUD Development Stage Plan/Preliminary Plat and PUD Final Plan.
There is a modification from the phasing plan. The phasing plan dated July 28, 2016 for Phase
V was for 19 lots. The proposed plat is for 39. The phasing plan shall be revised accordingly.
Phases
NorthPointe has been developed in the following phases:
Phase # Lots
1 21
2 40
3 41
4 31
5 39
3
6 TBD
7 TBD
8 TBD
TOTAL 172
TOTAL SF Lots in NP = 215
- # Lots Platted to Date = 172
# Lots Remaining1 = 43
1The # Lots Remaining does not include the potential 88 unit multi-family senior complex proposed in the
southeast corner of the development.
Blocks and Lots
The final plat for NorthPointe 5th Addition creates 39 lots and 4 outlots. Outlots A and D are
for future development. Outlots B and C are stormwater management and wetland protection
areas.
Outlot B, NorthPointe 4th Addition and Outlot C, NorthPointe 5th Addition will be deeded to the
City after all construction, utilities, lift station, restoration and as-builts have been completed in
the outlots and approved by the City Engineer.
Streets
The following right-of-way and street widths were approved with Resolution No. 14-21, PUD
Development Stage Plan/Preliminary Plat:
Street Name Right-of-Way Width Street Width
(Back to Back)
Chestnut Street 60 feet 32 feet
Rosewood Street 60 feet 32 feet
Dogwood Street 50 feet 28 feet
A 5 foot wide concrete sidewalk will be constructed along Chestnut Street and connect with
existing sidewalk along Cypress Street and 21st Avenue S. as approved in the PUD
Development Stage Plan/Preliminary Plat. No sidewalk is required along Rosewood or
Dogwood Street.

Easements
Standard drainage and utility easements are provided on all lot lines. A Conservation Easement
was also dedicated to RCWD over the wetland and buffer areas on Outlot D, NorthPointe.
The applicant is requesting the drainage and utility easement dedicated in the plat of
NorthPointe 3rd Addition lying over, under and across Outlot A and NorthPointe 4th Addition
lying over, under and across Outlot C be vacated to eliminate any potential tile issues. This
easement will be re-dedicated on the plat of NorthPointe 5th Addition. The City Council
approved a similar easement vacations throughout the development of NorthPointe. The City
Council will hold the public hearings for the vacation.
Public Land Dedication and Fees
The City will require a combination of land dedication and cash in lieu of land for the entire
NorthPointe development. Outlot D, NorthPointe 4th Addition was dedicated to the City for
parkland in 2016. The negative cash balance from the 4th Addition ($37,250) will be carried
over and subtracted from the final plat of NorthPointe 5th Addition.
NorthPointe 5th Addition
Total #of Lots = 39
x Park Dedication fee $2,575
= Cash in Lieu Value $100,425
Cash in Lieu Value $100,425
-Negative Balance NP 4th ($37,250)
= Total Due for NP 5th $63,175
The Park Board has been working with WSB to create a master plan for the park and
anticipates starting construction in summer 2017. The City will construct the trails in
conjunction with the park development.
Zoning
NorthPointe 5th Addition is zoned PUD-Planned Unit Development as approved by the City
Council with Ordinance No. 02-14.
Comprehensive Plan
The final plat is in compliance with the Comprehensive Plan in terms of the Resource
Management System, Land Use Plan, Housing Plan, and Transportation Plan.
5
Alternative Urban Areawide Review (AUAR)
The project site is within the 2005 I-35E Corridor AUAR and is subject to the AUAR
mitigation plan. The NorthPointe PUD Development Stage Plan/Preliminary Plat is consistent
with development Scenario 1 for residential medium density and complies with the mitigation
plan in regards to wetlands, water use, erosion and sedimentation, surface water runoff,
wastewater and transportation. The final plat for NorthPointe 5th Addition is also consistent
with these plans.
Floodplain
The applicant received a FEMA Letter of Map Revision effective December 21, 2016. The
Zone A floodplain has been removed from any lots in NorthPointe 5th Addition and there are no
floodplain impacts.
Development Agreement
A Development Agreement shall be drafted by the City, executed by the City and the developer
and recorded by the developer. The Developer Improvement costs as detailed in the
Development Agreement will be secured with a Public Improvement Surety Agreement
(Resolution No. 17-36).
