The name of the final plat is MTO Properties Addition. The Land Use Application is for the following: • Final Plat o Outlot A, Rice Lake Estates • Site & Building Plan Review o Commercial office building This staff report is based on the following information: • MTO Properties-Thrivent Financial Narrative 2 • Certificate of Survey and Tree Inventory/Removals prepared by EG Rud & Sons dated November 11, 2021 • Civil Plan Set prepared by Plowe Engineering, Inc. dated November 19, 2021 • Architectural Plan Set prepared by Progressive Architecture dated November 12, 2021 • Landscape Plan Set prepared by Calyx Design Group received on November 11, 2021 • Site Drainage Narrative and Calculation prepared by Plowe Engineering dated November 5, 2021 • Soil Borings prepared by Haugo GeoTechnical Services dated November 5, 2021 • Wetland Delineation Report prepared by Jacobson Environmental, PLLC dated June 26, 2019 • Final Plat prepared by EG Rud & Sons received on November 11, 2021 ANALYSIS History The subject site is legally described as Outlot A, Rice Lake Estates. The outlot was platted in 1985 and zoned for commercial development. The original commercial concept was a convenience store. In 1996, Council approved a site plan and conditional use permit for a Lino Lakes Family Dentistry to build a dentist office on the site. That project never moved forward. Existing Site Conditions The one (1) acre site is located in the southwest corner of CSAH 49 (Hodgson Road) and Blue Heron Drive. The site is currently vacant commercial land with grass and light wooded area. The site consists of poorly graded sands and poorly graded sands with silt. The recorded water table is 881.90EL. Topography is general flat. Wetlands exist on the northwest end of the site. Zoning and Land Use The parcel is zoned NB, Neighborhood Business District and allows for office business-general as a permitted use. The City’s zoning map shows the parcel with a PDO, Planned Development Overlay; however, rezoning Ordinance No. 09-88 states “All of the subdivision of Rice Lake Estates except Outlot A” shall be rezoned to PUD, Planned Unit Development. The zoning map shall be corrected with the City’s upcoming zoning map and ordinance update currently being drafted. Current Zoning NB, Neighborhood Business Current Land Use Vacant Commercial Future Land Use per CP Commercial Utility Staging Area 1A=2018-2025 Surrounding Zoning and Land Use 3 Direction Zoning Existing Land Use Future 2040 Land Use North GB, General Business Vacant Commercial Commercial South R-1X, Single Family Executive Single Family Residential Low Density Residential East GB, General Business Commercial & Industrial Commercial West R-1X, Single Family Executive Open Space & Single Family Residential Open Space & Single Family Residential Subdivision Ordinance Conformity with the Comprehensive Plan and Zoning Code The final plat is consistent with the comprehensive plan for commercial development and zoning code requirements for NB, Neighborhood Business as detailed below. Blocks and Lots Outlot A was preliminary platted in 1985 for commercial development. The proposed final plat contains Lot 1, Block 1, MTO Properties Addition. Parcel Acres Purpose Lot 1, Block 1 1.02 Commercial Building Streets and Alleys No new streets are required for the commercial development. Driveway ingress/egress will be from Blue Heron Drive, a local road. CSAH 49 (Hodgson Rd) is an A-Minor Expander road. Both roads are capable of handling traffic from the commercial office building. An existing 10 ft wide Roadway and Utility Easement is recorded over the northeast portion of the lot. This area is now being dedicated on the final plat. No additional street right-of-way is required. Easements Standard drainage and utility easements at least 10 feet wide have been provided along the lot lines. A minimum 10 ft wide drainage and utility easement is required above the delineated wetland. It does not appear the northwest corner of the wetland is covered by a full 10 ft and this shall be revised. A drainage and utility easement is required over the stormwater pond facilities. 4 These easements shall be shown on the preliminary plat and final plat. Public Land Dedication The City will collect a cash fee of $2,570.40 in lieu of land dedication for commercial development for Lot 1, Block 1, MTO Properties Addition. MTO Properties 1.02 acres x $2,520 per acre = $2,570.40 Site and Building Plan Review Site Plan The applicant is proposing to construct a 2,873 sf commercial office building for Thrivent Financial. The site plan includes a paved parking lot, commercial building, landscaping and outdoor patio area adjacent to the stormwater pond and wetland. Overall, the proposed commercial building meets ordinance and performance standard requirements unless otherwise noted. Lot Size and Setbacks The parcel is an existing outlot platted in 1985. NB Requirements Lot 1, Block 1 MTO Properties Min. Lot Size 11,250 sf 44,431 sf Min Corner Lot Width 100 ft 118 ft Setbacks-Street Required Proposed Principal Building-Hodgson (arterial) 40 ft 41 ft Principal Building-Blue Heron (local) 30 ft 150 ft Parking Lot 15 ft 31 and 20 ft Setbacks-Side Yard (south) Required Proposed Principal Building 35a ft 38 ft 5 Accessory Building (trash enclosure) 10 ft 20 ft Parking Lot/Driveway 10 ft 26 ft Setbacks-Rear Yard Required Proposed Principal Building 30 ft 133 ft Accessory Building (trash enclosure) 10 ft 235 ft Parking Lot/Driveway 10 ft 235 ft aNB District requires a 35 setback from Residential District Architectural Plans and Exterior Building Materials The commercial building is single story with exterior materials consisting of hardi-plank lap board siding, shingles, glass, EFIS, standing seam metal roof, and wood timbers. The color palette consists of earth tone pearl gray, black oak, off white and ebony. Wood timbers also accent the building. The ordinance allows for stucco or EFIS on no more than 30% of the primary front building elevation and no more than 60% of any side or rear building elevation. The primary front elevation facing Hodgson Road has 19% EIFS that is 3 ft above the ground level. There is no other EFIS on the building. The materials and percentages are compliant with performance standards. The building height is 23 ft to the top of the highest roofline which is less than that maximum 35 ft allowed. A trash enclosure is proposed on the south side of the parking lot. Construction details provided on Sheet A1.1 indicate timber or trek decking material to match the timber accent trusses. The enclosure is 6 ft in height and 80% opaque. The trash enclosure meets performance standards. Per Sheet A1.0, Site Plan, two (2) condensers units are shown on the south side of the building and a transformer pad is shown on the south side of the parking lot. These mechanical equipment components shall be fully screened by coniferous plantings or solid fence. The building will be sprinkled for fire suppression. As stated in the applicant’s narrative, the intention of the entire development is to be a transitional element between the commercial buildings along Hodgson and the residential areas on the west side of the parcel. The aesthetic treatment of the building mass, transitional materials selected and attention to placement of filtering elements all have been designed with a “low key” transition from commercial to residential in mind. 6 Outdoor Lighting Per Section 1007.043(6)(d), no light source shall exceed 1.0 foot candle onto right of way or 0.4 foot candle onto adjacent property. Page M, the site photometric plan, shows 2 light poles in the parking lot that are 19 ft tall with downlit and cutoff light fixtures. The light poles and fixtures meet ordinance requirements. Off-Street Parking Requirements Per City Code Section 1007.044(6), office buildings require 3 spaces plus at least 1 space per 200 sf of floor area. The building is 2,873 sf which would require 17 stalls. Per Sheet A1.0, the site plan provides 20 parking stalls with one being accessible. Parking requirements are met. Grading Plan and Stormwater Management Per the Site Drainage Narrative and Calculation report dated November 5, 2021 prepared by Plowe Engineering, the existing drainage area is 1.02 acres in size that consists of an existing wetland in the northwest corner of the site. The majority of this runoff in the area (approx. 0.81 acres) enters this wetland while the remaining runoff (approx. 0.21 acres) goes to Blue Heron Drive in the south. Per the preliminary boring logs from Haugo, the site consists of poorly graded sands (SP) and poorly graded sands with silt (SP-SM). Grading throughout the site is performed to direct the majority of the stormwater runoff to the northwest as it currently drains. To treat the runoff, infiltration was evaluated and with the recorded water table of 881.90 (the infiltration area), an infiltration basin with a bottom of 888.50 was designed. The bottom of the basin is chosen so it can achieve the sufficient 3-foot separation from the water table. The proposed stormwater management facility has been reviewed by the City Engineer and RCWD for compliance for water quality treatment and runoff control. These requirements are met with only a few minor revisions required to the civil plans. Public Utilities The new commercial office building will be municipally served by a 10” PVC sanitary sewer and a 16” DIP watermain located along Blue Heron Drive. Tree Preservation and Mitigation Standards Per the November 30, 2021 Environmental Staff Report: The purpose of these standards is to protect valuable trees and stands of vegetation while not interfering with landowners’ reasonable use and development of property. The goal is to 7 minimize unnecessary loss of habitat, biodiversity, and forest resources and to replace removed trees in areas where tree cover is most critical. The plan calls for removals of 59 trees, 58 of which will not require mitigation because they are in the Basic Use Area and not in an Environmentally Sensitive Area. One tree is in a Natural Resource Conservation Area and will require 2 mitigation trees to be planted. Preservation and mitigation standards have not been met. Open Areas Landscape Standards The purpose of these standards is to provide general site beautification and high aesthetic quality with a mix of plant materials in open areas. Open area landscape standards call for 1 large tree and 3 large shrubs per 2000 sq. ft. The following substitutions are allowable: 1 large tree = 1.5 medium or 2 small trees 1 large shrub = 1.5 medium or 3 small shrubs 27,250 sq.ft. of open space calls for: 14 large trees and 42 large shrubs Provided: 14 large tree equivalents and 0 large shrubs There are 5 existing trees (cottonwoods) that will be credited as 11 large trees. Existing trees are credited at the following rates: 3 large tree equivalents are included in open space landscaping. Siberian elms and trees that were not identified to species will not receive existing tree credit. Open areas landscape standards have not been met. Buffer and Screen Standards The purpose of this requirement is to separate and buffer different land use types, screen roads and parking, and screen utility and loading areas. Continuous, year-round planting screens require, at the minimum, a double row of plants with triangulated spacing. 8 Buffer and/or screen will be required between the parking lot and right-of-way along Hodgson Road and between 6681 Blue Heron Drive and the project site. Also, the buffering shrubs cannot be planted under tree canopy as shown in the landscape plan. The row of plants between the parking lot and right-of-way needs to be a double row of triangulated plants. The row of Techny arborvitae between 6681 Blue Heron Drive and the project site would meet requirements, but they cannot be planted under tree canopy. Buffers and screens as planned do not meet the requirements. Canopy Cover The purpose of this requirement is to mitigate the effects of vehicular hardscape by establishing tree canopy cover to intercept rainfall, protect pavement from sun deterioration, reduce the heat island effect, and improve aesthetics. Canopy cover standards call for a minimum of 40% canopy coverage. Vehicular hardscape planned: 5,800 sq. ft. Canopy cover requirement: 2,320 sq. ft. Canopy cover provided: 1,925 sq. ft. The 3 large trees near the future parking lot add 1,800 sq. ft. of canopy cover. The crabapple near the accessible parking space is worth 125 sq. ft. Canopy cover requirements have not been met. Foundation Landscaping The purpose of these standards is to soften and enhance building architecture, define access points, add color and seasonal interest, and to blend buildings in with the natural environment. These standards apply to building fronts and sides facing public or private streets. 2 large trees and 6 large shrubs are required per 100 linear feet of building. These plants should be within 30 feet of the building. The following substitutions are allowable: 1 large tree = 1.5 medium or 2 small trees 1 large shrub = 1.5 medium or 3 small shrubs The applicable building faces are the northeast and southeast sides, which are approximately 90 ft. and 40 ft. respectively. The foundation plantings required: Northeast side: 2 large trees and 6 large shrubs Southeast side: 1 large tree and 3 large shrubs The plans indicate: Northeast side: 0 large trees and 3 large shrub equivalents 9 Southeast side: 1 large tree equivalent and 6 large shrubs equivalents The foundation landscape requirements have not been met for the northeast building face. Sod and Ground Cover Standards All areas not otherwise improved in accordance with the approved site plans shall have a minimum depth of 4 inches of topsoil and be sodded including boulevard areas. Seed may be provided in lieu of sod in certain cases, including when the area is adjacent to natural areas or wetlands. The area at the base of the infiltration basin will be seeded with MN DOT 33-261 stormwater mix. The rest of the site will be turf sod, aside from an area northwest of the infiltration basin that is scheduled for native seeding, though the mix is not specified. Boulevard Trees Boulevard trees are not required for commercial developments; however, several existing and new trees are located along both Hodgson Road and Blue Heron Drive. Signage Separate sign permit applications are required for all permanent monument and wall signs. Sign permit applications are required for all temporary signs as well. Impervious Surface Coverage This parcel is in the Shoreland District of Rice Lake and the allowed impervious surface coverage is 60%. Sheet A1.0 notes the proposed impervious at 24%. Impervious surface requirements are met. Traffic Study A formal traffic study is not required. Blue Heron Drive is a local road and CSAH 49 (Hodgson Rd) is an A-Minor Expander road. Per the applicant, the new Thrivent Financial building will support 5 advisors and 3 office staff. The number of clients visiting the site ranges from 10-30 per day with an average of 15 per day. Both roads have capacity for a 2,873 sf commercial office building, staff and clients. Alternative Urban Areawide Review (AUAR) The site is not within the 2005 I-35E Corridor AUAR environmental review boundary. No environmental assessment is required for a 2,873 sf commercial office building. Wetlands A wetland delineation report was completed by Jacobson Environmental, PLLC on June 26, 2019. A WCA Notice of Decision was issued by RCWD on August 26, 2021. 10 One 0.015 acre wetland area was delineated within the project area. This wetland meadow/shrub swamp was dominated by reed canary grass (Phalaris arundinacea) and tussock sedge (Carex stricta). No impacts to this wetland are proposed. This wetland is part of the Wetland Management Corridor, so a vegetated buffer with an average of 50 ft. and a minimum width of 25 ft. will be required per Rice Creek Watershed District rules. A minimum 10 ft wide drainage and utility easement is required above the delineated wetland. It does not appear the northwest corner of the wetland is covered by a full 10 ft and this shall be revised. Shoreland District The site is in the Shoreland Management District Overlay of Rice Lake. Rice Lake is categorized as a Natural Environment Lake. Impervious surface coverage for a commercial development cannot exceed 60%. The proposed commercial building is 24% impervious. Required setback from the OHWL is 150 ft. The proposed building is 200+ft from the OHWL. Shoreland district requirements are met. Floodplain There is no FEMA floodplain on site. Additional City and Government Agency Review Comments Anoka County Highway Department Anoka County Highway Department reviewed the final plat and had no concerns. Public Safety Comments Deputy Director L’Allier notes a hydrant shall be located near the Fire Department Connector (FDC). The Police Division reviewed the plans and had no issues that needed to be addressed. Environmental Board The Environmental Board reviewed the development proposal at their November 30, 2021 meeting. The Board recommended approval with minor revisions required. 11 Planning & Zoning Board The Planning & Zoning Board reviewed the MTO Properties Final Plat on December 8, 2021. One neighborhood resident spoke regarding concerns with additional traffic. The Board recommended approval with a 6-0 vote. City Attorney The City Attorney notes the title commitment shall be updated and it should show MTO Properties LLC as the owner. Also, Item 7 in Schedule B-Part I discusses a potential interest of Lino Lakes Family Dentistry. This interest shall be explained and possibly delete this exception. Agreements Stormwater Maintenance Agreement A Declaration for Maintenance of Stormwater Facilities related to the private stormwater management facilities is required. Development Agreement A Development Agreement will be drafted by the City as it relates to the MTO Properties Addition final plat. Site Improvement Performance Agreement Financial securities as is relates to the Thrivent Financial office building will be collected with the Development Agreement. A separate Site Improvement Performance Agreement is not required. Comprehensive Plan Resource Management System The Resource Management System Plan goal of preserving surface water quality is supported by the construction of stormwater management BMP’s such as curb, gutter, and stormwater pond. Land Use Plan The Comprehensive Plan guides this property for commercial use. The proposed commercial office building is consistent with commercial land use. Housing Plan The goals and policies of Housing Plan are not negatively impacted by the commercial office building. 12 Transportation Plan Goals of the Transportation Plan are to ensure that street and roads are as safe as possible and to reduce unnecessary traffic. CSAH 49 (Hodgson Rd) is an A-Minor Expander and Blue Heron Road is a local road and both have structural capacity to handle the traffic volume of the commercial office building. Sanitary Sewer and Water Supply Plan The new commercial office building will be municipally served by a 10” PVC sanitary sewer and a 16” DIP watermain located along Blue Heron Drive. The existing sanitary sewer and water supply system have capacity for the new development.
