Historically the warming house is staffed and operated 45 hours each week by part-time staff. These positions will begin as soon as weather permits and end as temperatures increase and conditions to keep a solid ice surface are no longer favorable. ISSUE BEFORE COUNCIL: Should the City Council authorize hiring Timothy Strong (2016 Summer Seasonal) and advertise for up to two (2) other individuals to staff and operate the Lions Park Warming 1-louse? PROPOSAL DETAILS/ANALYSIS: Through the proposed advertising and hiring of part-time warming house attendants the city assures adequate staffing and services provided to ice rink and warming house users. Utilization of multiple employees allows the warming house to be open for more hours without the need to pay overtime while offering a flexible schedule over nights, weekends and holidays. FISCAL IMPACT: Funds for these positions are included in both 2016 & 2017 General Budgets. llourly pay range would be S10-11, depending on experience. These positions are not eligible for benefits. City Council Meeting 12/6/2016 Consent Item #3 OPTIONS: Authorize hiring Timothy Strong along with advertising and hiring for up to two (2) additional part-time Warming House Attendants Hire Tiinothy Strong and do not advertise for additional Warming House Attendants Do not authorize advertisement and hiring Warning House Attendants RECOMMENDATION: If removed from the consent agenda: Motion to hire Timothy Strong as a warming house attendant and authorize staff to advertise and hire for up to two more part time warming house attendants. Page 2 DATE: December 6, 2016 CONSENT ITEM #4 MOTION AGENDA ITEM: Approval of Open Gov reporting tool SUBMITTED BY: Cathy Bendel, Finance Director REVIEWED BY: Kristina Handt, City Administrator FISCAL IMPACT: One time training and deployment fee of $2,500 and annual fee of $3,000-$5,700 depending on the number of reports/modules using. Staff estimates the 2017 annual fee to be S4,000; total cost of $6,500). SUMMARY AND ACTION REQUESTED: At the October 4, 2016 City Council meeting, a presentation was made of a product called Open Gov which is used by other Cities to make it easier to view and access financial reports. There was a follow up City Council Workshop On October 11, 2016 where specific Lake Elmo reports were presented. The City Council is being sked to approve moving forward with purchasing this tool in 2017. BACKGROUND INFORMATION/STAFF REPORT: Staff worked with Open Gov to develop sample reports which were presented on October 11, 2016 at the City Council workshop. The City of Lake Elmo has an older version of Springbrook which inakes the compilation of the data challenging. However, staff saw great value in the budgeting module/tools which could provide immediate relief to the annual budget compilation process. At the City Council workshop, staff was directed to get feedback from other Cities. Based on the feedback received, it appears many smaller Cities utilize this tool. The City of West St. Paul also uses this program. A large group of Cities use LOGIS software and that user group reviewed the use of Open Gov. Most chose not to go with Open Gov primarily due to their presenting an annual CAFR which they felt met their needs. Staff is recommending purchasing Open Gov for use in budgeting and financial reporting to the level it does not become a burden on staff. With the plan to upgrade various software programs to one more integrated platform, there is definite benefit in 2017 but the new software platform may have similar reporting abilities. The City Council is being asked to approve the purchase of Open Gov for 2017. ATTACHMENTS: 1.

BACKGROUND INFORMATION/STAFF REPORT: Properties in the Green Acres or Rural Preservation programs are automatically allowed to defer special assessments on their properties. The owner of this property recently brought to the Cities attention the fact that this parcel is enrolled in both programs. As a result, the special assessments need to be corrected with Washington County and an abatement form is required to do so.

A recommended ordinance amendment has been prepared for review. ISSUE BEFORE COUNCIL: The Council is being asked to consider a text amendment to Chapter 51: Waste Water Treatment Systems, of City Code. PROPOSAL DETAILS/ANALYSIS: The Staff Report from this work session is attached for reference, explaining the recommended changes. The City Attorney has also reviewed the ordinance and concurs that the City's provision that requires Subsurface Sewage Treatments Systems (SSTSs) that serve two or more properties to be designed by a registered professional engineer conflicts with Minnesota Rules Part 7082.0100, subpart 3, as this rule prohibits the City from requiring additional local licenses, registrations, certificates or other similar professional credentials to perform SSTS work. Additional revisions have been made to the ordinance's language for clarity. FISCAL IMPACT: If the City chooses to adopt a current ordinance which meets current standards established in Minnesota Rules Chapter 7082, the City can contract with the county to administer the City ordinance. This includes reviewing all installation inspections as well as other associated functions. Specifically, variance requests would be considered by the City. Alternatively, as outlined below, the City may choose to repeal Section 51.002 of the City Code, in which case the Washington County Subsurface Sewage Treatment System ordinance would take City Council Meeting 12/6/16 Consent Agenda Item #9 effect within the City, and variance requests would be considered by the County, with the exception of variances for certain setbacks and zoning requirements, which would be considered by the City. OPTIONS: The City Council may: Approve the recommended ordinance amendment as part of tonight's consent agenda. Remove the item from the consent agenda to discuss then approve the ordinance amendment unchanged. Remove the item from the consent agenda to discuss then approve the ordinance amendment unchanged. Direct staff to choose to repeal Section 51.002 of the City Code. Deny the ordinance amendment. RECOMMENDATION: Staff respectfully recommends the City Council approve the recommended changes to Chapter 51: Waste Water Treatment Systems as it pertains to Subsurface Sewage Treatment Systems as part of tonight's consent agenda by approving Ordinance 08-159.

WHEREAS, the ordinance is lengthy; and WHEREAS, Minnesota Statutes, section 412.191, subd. 4, allows publication by title and summary in the case of lengthy ordinances or those containing charts or maps; and WHEREAS, the City Council believes that the following summary would clearly inform the public of the intent and effect of the ordinance. NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the City Council of the City of Lake Elmo, that. the City Clerk shall cause the following summary of Ordinance No. 08-159 to be published in the official newspaper in lieu of the entire ordinance: Public Notice The City Council of the City of Lake Elmo has adopted Ordinance No. 08-159, which amends Title V: Chapter 51 of the Lake Elmo City Code of Ordinances regarding Subsurface Sewage Treatment Systems, adopting Washington County's bringing it in to compliance with County and State rules by amending the following: • Specifies that mound systems are not allowed for new collector systems in the OP Open Space Preservation District except to replace existing non -compliant systems. • Removes language that requires sewage tanks be pumped or inspected by a licensed septic pumper, or inspected by a state -certified septic inspector every 2 years and that a report be submitted to the permitting authority by the pumper or inspector, as this is preempted by State Statute 115.55 Subp. 5 (c). • Removes language regulating operation and maintenance of OP Wastewater Treatment Systems, as this is redundant with a provision in the County Ordinance. • Removes language requiring subsurface sewage treatment systems serving two or more properties be designed by a registered professional engineer in the State of Minnesota, as this is prohibited by MN Rules 7082.00100 Subp. 3 Item A. • Further clarifies variance procedures. BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED by the City Council of the City of Lake Elmo that the City Administrator keep a copy of the ordinance at City Hall for public inspection and that a full copy of the ordinance be placed in a public location within the City.

The city has been uontractingwith Washington County for S3TS permit and inspections, It has been determined by county staff that the current city ordinance is out of compliance with state rules, ISSUE FOR DISCUSSION: What ordinance amendment should staff prepare? PROPO8ALDETAlL86ANALY8&8: Included in your packet is a memo from county staff laying Out the options and discussing the issues, County staff (Girard GodernrJeff Taviv) will be in attendance atthe work session \oprovide additional iofbnnc4iou and answer questions since this is a very tcobuiou| issue. loaddition o/the memo, / asked for more specific info from county staff about what aspects of thedty's SSTS ordinance were Out of compliance. Girard Goder provided the following comments. The City Code includes the following provision (because itincorporates de County Ordinance word for ll Administrative scope. This chapter shall apply and be in effect in all areas in Washington County other than cities and towns that have adopted ordinances that comply with Minnesota Statute Section 115.55.M\nnoxotu Ro|cx. Chapter 7082, and are as strict as this Chapter. [...] Discussion: The City does not have the statutorily grantd authority to enact uoordinance outside o{its 3.3 Variance procedures. [l Modifications related tosetbacks orzoning shall hcheard bythe Washington County Board of Adjustment and Appeals, Discussion: Here the establishes that the Washington County Board ofAdjustment and Appeals consider vuooucc requests, which |xproblematic because the Board does not have land use authority within the City. This also onoOicto with Section 51.005 of the City Code which establishes that vunonocs and appeals shall be heard by the City, There are numerous other instances where the verbatim incorporation of the County Ordinance unintentionally grants/confers/requires County oversight/administration/control for a city ordinance. Should the City wish to continue to have the County administer the City ordinance, the better course of action would be for the City to establish itself as the regulatory authority (by still adopting the County Ordinance but also modifying all references to Washington County [and the various boards, departments, etc.] to instead read as their City equivalent counterparts) and subsequently contract with the County to deliver the City program. In regards to the exceptions established in Section 53,003 of the City Code, I have the following comments: (A) The following provisions are adopted separately from the Chapter 4 adopted in § 51.002 and are more restricting than Chapter 4 of the Washington County Development Code: (1) Washington County Development Code Chapter 4; Section 6 - Permits: (a) "Mound systems are not allowed for collector systems in the OP Open Space Preservation District." In the hypothetical scenario* that an existing community septic system needed to be replaced due to a separation to groundwater, and the soil conditions dictated that a replacement system would need to be a mound system, one of the two outcomes would result: I . An individual mound would need to constructed for every residence, or 2. The existing structures would become uninhabitable because a replacement, compliance community septic system would be prohibited. *Note: Edo not know whether any existing community septic systems are located in OP Open Space Preservation Districts, so the above points may be moot and this provision only applies to new construction. (2) Washington County Development Code Chapter 4; Section 22 - Maintenance: (b) "Sewage tanks shall be pumped or inspected by a licensed septic pumper, or inspected by a state - certified septic inspector every 2 years. A pumping and/or inspection report shall be submitted to the permitting authority by the pumper or inspector." As written, this requirement may be preempted by the restriction in MINN STAT 115.55 Subp. 5 (c), which states, in pertinent part: A certificate of compliance for an existing system is valid for three years from the date of issuance unless the local unit of government finds evidence of an imminent threat to public health or safety requiring removal and abatement under section 145A.04, subdivision 8. To fully address whether this provision is allowable, the term "inspected'' as used here, would need to be defined. The type of inspection (a tank integrity assessment) that 1 believe is intended here is allowable under state and county rules to be performed by a licensed septic maintenance business (i.e. "septic pumper"). However the type of inspection (a compliance inspection) that is required under state and county rules to be performed by a "state -certified septic inspector", cannot be required every two years by the City. (B) OP Waste Water Treatment Systems. (1) Collector systems in the OP zone shall be operated and maintained by a business licensed as a service provider in accordance with Minn. Rules 7083. An operation and maintenance plan shall be prepared by the developer prior to final plat approval. The homeowners association shall be responsible for implementing this plan. Included in this plan shall be both ground water monitoring, and visual inspections. Biannual reports shall be prepared by the service provider and submitted to the permitting authority. This provision is, for all intents and purposes, redundant with a provision in the County Ordinance. UC> Systems Serving Multiple Properties.

CITY ()F LAKE ELMO STAFF REPORT DATE: December 6, 2016 CONSENT ITEM #: 10 TO: Mayor and City Council and Parks Commission FROM: Kristina Handt, City Administrator AGENDA ITEM: Employer/Employee Health Insurance Cost Share BACKGROUND: Staff brought the health insurance renewal information to both the Finance Committee and FIR Committee in November. The purpose was to get a recommendation on whether or not the 6% increase to the premium for 2017 would be shared equally between the employer and employee, as had been the previous practice. As a result, the current employer contribution for health insurance is 87% for single coverage and 76.5% for family coverage. ISSUE FOR DISCUSSION: What percentage of the health insurance premium should be covered by the employer in 2017? PROPOSAL DETAILS/ANALYSIS: The HR Committee recommended that a policy setting specific percentages be developed rather than the past practice of sharing the increases. This would provide a clearer communication tool and better documentation of the how much the City covers. The HR Committee further recommended that the City cover 90% of the premium for single coverage and 80% for family coverage. No change in plan (currently Blue Cross Blue Shield) is recommended at this time. FISCAL IMPACT: Increase to the City share of benefit expense of approximately $800 per month. OPTIONS: 1) Adopt Resolution 2016-108 to approve recommendations of HR Committee 2) Amend and then Adopt Resolution 2016-108 RECOMMENDATION: If removed from the consent agenda: Motion to adopt Resolution 2016-108 CITY OF LAKE ELMO WASHINGTON COUNTY STATE OF MINNESOTA RESOLUTION NO. 2016- 108 A RESOLUTION APPROVING HEALTH CARE PLAN AND ESTABLISHING CITY CONTRIBUTION TO EMPLOYEE HEALTH INSURANCE BENEFITS FOR 2017 WHEREAS, the Lake Elmo City Council has determined that it is the best interest of the City to provide a health insurance plan to help maintain the health of its cuiTent employees and to enable the city to attract and retain a quality workforce; and WHEREAS, it is now necessary to deten-nine the insurance plan and contributions to premium costs for the period from 1/1/2017 to 12/31/2017; NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT HEREBY RESOLVED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF LAKE ELMO, WASHINGTON COUNTY, MINNESOTA, that it should and hereby does approve the Minnesota Service Cooperative Blue Cross Blue Shield Aware Gold Plan 4 for the period of 1/1/17 to 12/31/17; and FURTHER BE IT RESOLVED, that for calendar year 2017, the City of Lake Elmo's contribution to the total cost of providing health insurance benefits shall be as follows: 90% of premium for single coverage and 80% of premium for family coverage.

As a result, it needs to be reviewed by the Planning Commission to make that determination in addition to holding a Public Hearing. At the Planning Commission meeting on November 28, 2016, the Planning Commission reviewed the CIF' document. Although some members had concerns about the plan for Reid Park, it was unanimously agreed it was consistent with the City of Lake Elmo Comprehensive Plan. SUMMARY AND ACTION REOUESTED: The 2017-2021 CIP includes 75 projects in the amount of $33,943,267. Through the process there were different recommendations from staff, Parks Corrunission and Finance Con-unittee with regards to projects for the Fire Department (land and a new station) and Park Improvements in the existing parks. The City Council will need to review these items and give specific direction on which recommendation they are approving. Projects have three different statuses -Active, Pending and New Recommendations. In addition, to approving the projects Council will be approving the status if each. New recommendation was used to highlight new projects brought forward this year. Any projects that are new and approved in the plan will transfer to the Active status. OPTIONS: 1) Approve 2017-2021 CIP as presented 2) Amend the 2017-2021 CIP and then approve (for example remove projects or change status of projects) City Council Meeting [Consent _4gencla hem 13] November 15, 2016 ATTACHMENTS: Draft 2017-2021 Capital Improvement Plan -- page 2 -- THE CITY OF City of lake Elmo Ca ° al rove ent rog a 17 -- 2021 Finance Committee Draft — June 14, 2016 Finance Committee Draft — August 10, 2016 Planning Commission Draft November 28, 2016 City Council Draft — December 6, 2016 TABLE OF CONTENTS lDt[Ud»r'OD What imaCTy?................ —'......... ...... .—_—.__.~,^._..—._,^.^..._._,..,_._.__,, Scope Qfthe Draft C{P.................... .,......... ................. .................. ................. --.—_l ^u""^^ng Sources .......................... ......... .,`... ............. ........................... ^---_...-.—..-2 StreetProjects .................................................... .............................................................

O Project Detail INTRODUCTION What is a CIP? A Capital Improvement Program, or CIP, is a multi -year (typically 5 years) capital expenditure plan for a City's infrastructure (such as streets, parks and utility systems), vehicles, equipment and public buildings. It identifies the major projects needed and desired by the community, their potential costs and how they would be financed. Including a project in a CIP does not commit the city to that project. The City Council must specifically authorize each one, and the associated funding, before any project may proceed. When the CIP is reviewed (ideally annually, in conjunction with the budgeting process) projects may go forward as planned, advance ahead of schedule, be removed entirely, or new projects may be added, depending upon changes in circumstances and priorities. The Minnesota Land Planning Act requires that the implementation plan portion of the Comprehensive Plan include a CIP for major infrastructure needs (transportation, wastewater, water supply, parks and open space) for a five-year time period. Cities often expand the scope of their CIPs to include other capital needs (major equipment replacements, for example) and sometimes look beyond the five-year time period, up to 20 years in the future for some projects. Such projects represent more of a "wish -list" that can be evaluated each time the plan is updated. As a part of the Comprehensive Plan, the CIP has some legal standing. Minnesota Statutes Chapter 473.865 provides that "a local governmental unit shall not adopt any official control or fiscal device which is in conflict with its comprehensive plan." A fiscal device includes a budget or bond issue; so it is important that the plan and CIF be kept up to date and in synch with city budgets. The primary benefit of a CIP is as a financial planning tool, to help the city plan for the impact of capital needs on future budgets and property taxes, and to help forecast the need for borrowing to undertake major projects. The information developed as part of the capital planning process can help document the need for various projects and help the City Council sort out competing priorities. Scope of the CIP Lake Ehno's CIP includes all capital projects that cost at least $25,000 and have a useful life span of five years or longer. Projects include all capital needs including major repairs to buildings and equipment purchases and replacements. Any projects not meeting these parameters would be reviewed as part of the annual operating budget, but would not be included in the CEP. Funding Sources The CIP identifies a possible funding source(s) for each project listed. The various funding sources are as follows: Debt Service Fund Vehicle Replacement Fund General Fund Park Improvement Fund Storrnwater Fund Wastewater Fund Water Fund Projects financed by borrowing, later to be repaid with property taxes, and potentially special assessments depending upon the characteristics of the project, Internal service fitnd used to segregatesegregatefunds set aside for planned replacements of existing major equipment. Funds are trans erredfrom operating budgets (primarily property tax revenues.) The And may also receive fUnds realized through debt financing. Annual operating budget, primari nded by property tax revenues. Existing City fund, receipts from cash -in -lieu of land park dedication fees paid by developers and others who subdivide their land. Funds comefroinfees paid by users ofihe system Funds comeconiefromfees paid by users on the Wastewater System Funds col e rom fees paid by users on the Water System Municipal State Aid (MSA) State aidfunds allocated to the City each year; annual allocation grows as the City grows. In addition to these sources, it is possible that future projects could be funded from donations, grants, user fees or other sources not listed. The City also has a City Facility Fund that was created during the building of the public works barn. There is no plan to continue contributing to the fund however there is S272,000 in the fund that could be transferred back to the General Fund to be used for some of the projects in the CIP. Project Priorities Capital improvement projects should be prioritized in some way so that limited funding can be allocated to those which are most important. This is difficult because the varying nature of the projects and their benefits and objectives are so disparate as to be essentially not comparable. Some public agencies have developed elaborate rating and ranking systems to try to set primities. Complicated sooting systems may have some disadvantages because they may give a false sense of objectivity or precision to the priority setting process. Others use simpler systems, or simply do not try to compare projects that are like "apples and oranges." There is no accepted system or "industry standard" for prioritizing projects. The following system has been utilized by staff: 1 Critical or urgent, high -priority projects that should be done if at all possible; a special effort should be made to find sufficient funding for all of the projects in this group. 2 Very important, high -priority projects that should be done as funding becomes available. 3 Important and worthwhile projects to be considered if funding is available; may be deferred to a subsequent year. 4 Less important, low -priority projects; desirable but not essential. 5 Future Consideration POLICY/DECISIONS NEEDED hi reviewing the City Assets and the 2017 CIP, the following policies were identified as being needed: Lease vs Buy — Leasing vehicles was researched and the leasing programs available were reviewed. The programs available are such that the entire cost of the vehicle is paid in lease payments and there is no residual value. Since the City vehicles are well maintained and the residual value is high, staff does not recommend leasing vehicles as analysis showed the vehicle cost was 40-50% above current cost with the current low interest rates. Vehicle Replacement Schedule — The City needs to pass a policy related to all vehicle replacements. Currently the Fire Department vehicle replacement policy is to replace all vehicles within 5 years (vehicle warranty period). However the Public Works department keeps vehicles well beyond their useful lives. 2017-2021 CIP OVERVIEW For 2017 through 2021, the draft CIP includes 75 separate projects with a total estimated cost of S33,943,267. All cost estimates are preliminary and based on current dollars. No assumptions have been made about inflation. It will he important to refine and update costs when the plan is reviewed, especially for projects in the first year or two of the plan. Some projects beyond the five-year planning period are also included in the CM. Most of these projects are replacements for equipment and vehicles (such as fire trucks) which may have a life span of 10, 15 to 20 years or even more. The plan may include "pending" projects for which timelines (and in most cases, cost estimates) have not yet been identified. As more information is developed about the need for, cost and possible funding sources for these projects, they will be included in future CIP updates. Street Projects The draft update includes the following street projects in the CIP: PW-007, North Tri Lakes area streets are planned for reconstruction in 2017. Also, streets included in Phase Three of the downtown area are programmed for 2017. Total project costs are $2,320,000. PW-009, Manning Trail Reconstruction, for $23,730 in 2017. This is a joint project with Washington County completed in 2016. PW-011, 38'1', 391', Innsdale and Phase Four of the downtown area are planned for reconstruction in 2018 for an estimated cost of $1,560,000 PW-013, 361', 37th, Irwin streets, south Tri Lakes, and Phase Five of the downtown area are planned for reconstruction in 2019 at an estimated cost of $1,750,000. • PW-026, Reclaim roads in Heritage Farms, Stonegate 2nd and Phase Six of downtown area for $2,030,000 in 2020 • PW-027, Reconstruction of roads in Fields of St Croix, Tamarack Farms, and Hamlet on Sunfish Lake for $1,159,000 in 2021, • PW-033, CSAH 13 (Ideal Ave) Phase One reconstruction is planned for 2017 at an estimated cost of $300,000. • PW-034, 15'1' St N (MSA Street) for $950,000 in 2018 (new) • PW-035, UP RR Crossing -Village Parkway for $500,000 in 2018 (new) • PW-036, UP RR -Crossing -Private Drive Closure for S100,000 in 2018 (new) • PW-037, UP RR Crossing -Klondike Ave for $250,000 in 2018 (new) Vehicle Replacement Fund City staff recommended consideration of a Vehicle Replacement Fund to set aside funds on an armual basis for planned replacement of vehicles and major pieces of operating equipment. The fund receives transfers from the operating budget of each department depending on its equipment needs. This allows the departmental budgets for each major function to accurately show the costs of funding that function, including equipment, while segregating the funds from the operating budgets. Any revenues from the sale of old equipment being replaced are also deposited into the fund. The Finance Committee did not recommend this method offunding vehicles. Their preference is to fund them as necessary or consider a leasing alternative. Project Highlights by Department Administration/Finance: AF-001, New City Hall, is the only request in this department. The CIP proposes completing a space necds study in 2017 to begin the planning process. Finance Committee and Council should discuss if a new fire station and/or public works barn expansion should also be included in this study. A $5 million cost for a new facility has been included merely as a place holder until the space needs study is completed and the date of construction is To Be Determined at this point.

The Feasibility Report was previously authorized. Callingor and conducting the Public Improvement Hearing is included in the scope of services. SUMMARY AND ACTION REOUESTED: The City Council is respectfully requested to consider adopting a Resolution receiving the Feasibility Report and calling for a Public Improvement Hearing for the 2017 Street Improvements to be held on January 17, 2017. LEGISLATIVE HISTORY/BACKGROUND INFORMATION: This feasibility report has been prepared to address street and drainage improvements programmed for construction in 2017. In accordance with the city's annual Street Capital Improvement Plan (CIP) the City Council authorized the preparation of a feasibility report to be completed in accordance with Minnesota State Statutes 429. The report serves to identify the necessary improvements, the -- page 1 -- City Council Meeting [RegularAgencla Item 14] December 6. 2016 estimated project costs, and to consider the assessment of a portion of the project costs to properties adjacent to and benefitting from the improvements. The 2017 Street Improvement project addresses street segments located in 4 separate Subdivisions, including Fox Fire Estates, Springboms Green Acres, Judith Mary Manor and Rolling Hills Estates. The proposed project includes Street Reclaim Improvements for the following areas consisting of approximately 2.3 miles of local streets: • 55th Street North, from Demontreville Trail North to Jamaca Avenue North. 2,100 LF • 55th Street North, from Jamaca Avenue North to 57th Street North. 3,550 LF • 57th Street North, from Julep Way North to Keats Avenue North. 1,820 LF • Jamaca Avenue North, from 55th Street North to Jamaca Boulevard North. 2,450 LF • Jamaca Boulevard North, from 55th Street North to Jamaca Avenue North. 2,200 LF The timing of these street improvements was determined by the city's pavement management program. Upon review of the necessary street improvements, staff also reviews the street drainage systems and existing public utilities. In addition to the street improvements, the scope of this Report includes storm sewer casting replacement and storm sewer or drainage upgrades to prevent water from standing on or along the new street pavements. As part of the improvements the existing bituminous curb will be replaced with new concrete curb and gutter to improve drainage, improve the construction quality, and provide edge control to protect and extend the service life of the new bituminous surface. A geotechnical investigation was completed to support the Report recommendations. The total estimated project cost is $1,400,000. The improvements would be partially assessed against the benefitting properties consistent with the City's Special Assessment Policy. Street and drainage improvements are assessed at a rate of 30% of the total project costs for residential properties using a unit method, and at a rate of 100% of the total project costs for non-residential properties based upon the actual front footage abutting the improvement. Residential properties are considered to provide an equal demand on street use and are therefore assessed on a per unit basis. The remaining 70% of the project costs are paid through the City general fund. Residential properties along 55th Street North, 57th Street North, Jamaca Avenue North and Jamaca Boulevard North with direct access to the street are included as benefitting properties. Each property is assessed one unit unless the property has the ability to be subdivided using the current underlying land use and zoning regulations. The city planning department reviews larger parcels to determine if a parcel can be subdivided and the number of lots that could be obtained. There are a few properties located along the proposed improvements that have a qualified deferred assessment status. The property is still levied an assessment as part of the project, however the assessment is deferred until the status no longer exists for the property. The preliminary assessment rolls detailing each property's proposed assessment amount are included in the Appendix of the report. Assessments for street and drainage improvements will be levied over a 15-year period. Assessments will be charged an interest rate of 1% over the bond rate for the project. -- page 2 -- City Council Meeting [Regular Agenda Item 14] December 6, 2016 In addition to the recommended improvements, the estimated project costs and the proposed assessments, this Report addresses the permitting requirements and the easement and right-of- way acquisition needed to implement the improvements. The feasibility report findings and recommendations will be further presented at the meeting. RECOMMENDATION: Staff is recommending that the City Council adopt Resolution No. 2016-107, receiving the Feasibility Report and calling Hearing for the 2017 Street Improvements. The recommended motion for this action is as follows: "Move to adopt Resolution No. 2016-107, receiving the Feasibility Report and Calling Hearing for the 2017 Street Improvements." ATTACHMENT(: 1.

LAKE El MO AGENDA ITEM: SUBMITTED BY: THROUGH: REVIEWED BY: BACKGROUND; MAYOR AND COUNCIL COMMUNICATION DATE: 12/6/16 REGULAR ITEM #: 15 Boulder Ponds PUD Amendment/Rezoning Stephen Wensman, Planning Director Kristina Handt, City Administrator Ben Gozola, Consultant Senior Planner Emily Becker, City Planner The City Council discussed the rezoning request at its meeting on 8/16/2016 and tabled it until the 9/16/2016 meeting in order to further research the issues. Staff sent a letter to the developer extending the 60 day review to 120 days. This item was to be continued at the 9/6/16 City Council meeting but was postponed for consideration by the applicant. The applicant has requested the rezoning again be considered by the City Council. OP4 Boulder Ponds LLC is requesting approval of a rezoning/PUD amendment to the Boulder Ponds PUD to rezone Outlots B (PID#34.029.21.33.0023) and C (PID# 34.029.21.33.0024), Boulder Ponds from Commercial PUD and MDR-PUD, respectively to HDR-PUD.. The Planning Commission held a public hearing on 7/25/16 and recommended approval. The developer of Boulder Ponds is advocating for additional density based on the underlying comprehensive plan designation and the underlying zoning for the entire PUD project (see attached letter and graphics from developer). ISSUE BEFORE COUNCIL: The Council shall determine whether to approve the rezoning/PUD amendment. PROPOSAL DETAILS/ANALYSIS: OP4 Boulder Ponds LLC believes the MDR/PUD was the incorrectly zoning for the proposed 64-unit senior facility proposed for Outlot C. The existing zoning is MDR/PUD whereas the desired zoning is HDR/PUD. Boulder Ponds would also like to add the adjacent Commercial/PUD outlot, Outlot C, to the development site with the same HDR/PUD zoning. The zoning for Boulder Ponds occurred on 4/21/15 and was based on a density analysis presented during the Concept PUD process. The area guided for Medium Density Residential, which is approximately 10.1 acres, contains 17 single family dwellings and a planned 64 senior facility, which has a planned i City Council Meeting 916116 Regular Agenda Item #15 gross density mf7.V8units per acre; the appropriate dunx iyforK4edium Density Residential land use &� �� The norther portion ofthe area was developed into |7single family dwellings and was zoned LDR/PUD. The Southern portion of the area was platted as Outlot C (2.24 acres) and zoned MDRJPUD for the planned 04'uui\ senior residential use. With MDR zonincy, the muzbnum allowed density is only 7 units per acre, whereas with 11DR, the maximum allowed density is 15 units per acre. Correction from the Planning Commission Report. &64-uuhresidential development on Oudot Cwould have udensity n[JS.g1units per acre which exceeds the allowed HDR density. However, after consultation with Consultant Planner, Ben Gozo|a, Staff now understands that this density, 64dwelling units onZ24acres was approved aspart ofthe concept plan and anticipated atpreliminary plat. By adding the \.44ocre-OuUo\Btothe development site, rezoning it fi-0111 Cnmmoria}/9UD{o80B/PUD.ail additional density of26 additional dwelling units could heallowed based unthe 8DRzoning, o,3|additional dwelling units if 20% density bonus was applied through the PUD (for a total potential density of 90 dwelling units over both Oultots B and C together, or 95 if density bonus is applicable through the PUDi No additional density would be allowed, as suggested by the Developer, for unused density inthe other portions ofthe development, north nfSmStreet. The Developer has suggested that they might want to be allowed additional density if providing senior congregate care facilities with services, as was done with the Arbor Glen project in the Village area. If you recall, the memory care units were not counted towards the overall density count because these units are recognized as being different from standard multi -family residential development. |naddition, the City Council slightly increased the maximumallowed density up to a maximum oflG units per acre within the VK4X District area. These provisions required a comprehensive plan amendment and did not include any other areas besides the VIVX Zoning District. Without a similar comprehensive plan amendment, any memory care units would beconsidered asdwelling units. PLANNING00MrgK8S]ON/PUBLIC UEAR0NG COMMENTS: at the Public Hearing, no one spoke from the public and there was no written correspondence. The Planning Commission expressed concern about approving the rezoning toHDR/PUDwithout a specific plan and was concerned that the senior living project could end up as a market rate high density multi -family rental housing. The Planning Commission made a motion that they are in support of congregate care with services not counting as dwelling units as was approved in the VIVIX District. Todd Williams and Tom Kreimer are in support of more high density residential and that the Boulder Ponds site is an appropriate location, The Planning Commission recommended approval ofthe rezonino/PUUamendment with a7(]vote. FISCAL IMPACT: City Council Meeting 916116 Regular Agenda Item #25 There would be no direct fiscal impact by the rezoning/PUD Amendment, however, it will improve the marketability nfOut|ots B and [ which will provide development fees and building permit fees tothe City when developed.

They would like 10rezone oudots8O,[from Commercial PUD and MDR-PUD to HDR-PUD. VVensnnan went through some of the history of the site and explained what the developer istrying to do. VVmnsnnanprovided draft findings asfollows 1\The rezoning/PUD amendment is consistent with the Comprehensive Plan designation for the subject property 2) The proposed land use, Senior Housing is a conditional use in both the Commercial and HDR zoning districts, so the underlying land use will remain unchanged 3) The proposed HDR/PUD zoning is appropriate for the proposed senior housing density. 4\The proposed PUD/Amendment isconsistent with the Boulder Ponds PUD Concept Plan and Preliminary PUD Plans. VVensnnanstated that inorder tVdevelop the site assenior living, the area would need final plat/final PUD plan approval, out|ot B & [vvou|d need to be combined into a single lot and a conditional use permit approval is required for congregate housing. Dodson bwondering why the CUP application isnot with this. VVensrnanstated that Lake Elmo Planning Commission Minutes; 7-25-16 2 they rezone the property, what would stop them from putting in a dif[ernet type ofHigh density housing, VVensrnanstated that there would benoguarantee that adiffernzt plan wouldn't come forward. Fields asked if the senior housing is the motivation for rezoning this property, why wouldn't we wait until there is a plan fora [UP for the senior housing. Fields feels that making the change could have the City end upwith something that isunintended. Larson iswondering if there could beacondition attached tothis request stating that it isfor Senior Housing. VVensnnanstated that hedoes not believe there can 6econditions nnarezoning. Deb Ridgeway, Excelsior Group, stated that they do not have a buyer yet for the property. She feels iListoclean upthe zoning for the marketing of the property. She said that they need a larger lot in order to market this as smaller lots are not desirable. They are currently marketing the site asasenior housing project. Williams asked about the combined parcels and how many units they need to make it viable. Deb Ridgeway stated that they feel they need 10Ounits for ittobeaviable senior housing project. Williams stated that itisonly approximately 4acres and atl5 units/acne nnexinnunn, that still only gives them approximately 60 units. Ridgeway stated that based on it being a PUD and looking at the entire site, they would be allowed 210 units. They would beplatting 9Dunits atthis time with adifference of122units. VVensnnandoes not agree with Ridgevvayscalculations. The underlying zVninDisthetoo| toenforce the comprehensive plan. There are bonuses allowed, however, once the zoning isset for aparcel, that i»how itneeds tohedeveloped. The LDRcould have been developed more dense, and just because it wasn't, doesn't mean that it can be shifted to another area. The PUDisnot anopen door for density. Williams wanted to confirm the allowed density for this site for HDR zoning. VVensnnan stated that it would be 64 units for this projector 76 units if they achieve the 20% bonus. He asked Ridgeway if that is the case, would they still want to proceed with the rezoning request. Ridgeway confirmed that they would. Dunn asked what qualified for a2OY6bonus. VVen»nnenstated that there bthe base zoning and then with aPUUthere are highlights thatqua|if«fnrbonus2s. Dunn stated that it is very hard to keep track of these issues if the developer keeps changing things asthey gqalong. VVensrnanstated that the deviations are spelled out atthe time of preliminary plat. Fields thinks that rezoning this now without a project opens the door for market rate Lake Elmo Planning Commission Minutes; 7-25-16 Public hearing opened at7]8pnn Noone spoke and there was nowritten correspondence.

Ridgeway wanted to clarify that the preliminary plat was approved to have a 64 unit senior facility, but the zoning was not put into place correctly. They would just like to expand the acreage sothat they can market this better. The existing residents know that this isintended tobeasenior living project. Ben Schmidt, Excelsior Group, their understanding based on the original PUD is that they could do o 64 unit senior facility on the 3.4 acres, but they would not be able to do itunder the MDR zoning. This needs tochange tnHDRtoget towhat was approved with the PUD. Based onthe original density ofthe Z.4acre parcel, byadding the additional acreage, 1OOunits iseasy toget to. Heagrees with using the same language that was used inthe Old Village, M/S/P: Williams/Dodson, move to recommend approval of the rezoning/PUD Amendment for Outlots B and C, Boulder Ponds, rezoning from Commercial/PUD and MDR/PUD, respectively, to HDR/PUD based on the findings in the staff report and the additional findings voted on and further recommend that the counts that apply to senior housing in the 0|d Village, be applied to this site, Vote: 7-0, motion carried Williams stated that the City needs more HORinthe City osvvehave virtually none right now. Hefeels this is an appropriate place for HDR. Kneirnera|sV agrees that this was Public Hearing — Zoning Text Amendment Open Space Development Lake Elmo Planning Commission Minutes; 7-25-16 4 VVensnnanstarted his presentation regarding the Open Space ordinance, He went through the recommendations that the Planning Commission had. There was also recommendations from the City Council. This version takes into consideration the Comments ofthe City Council. This ordinance iscurrently not inthe Zoning Code, and this will move itback tothe zoning Code. VVensnoanwent through the specifics ofthe changes inthis version. This version articulates what the City is looking for in these PUO's. One significant change is eliminating the super majority vnteford2viatinnstoaUovvnoVre flexibility. The Comprehensive Plan isvery clear that the density is18/4Uacres. The Buffer language was updated, septic sites need tobeidentified first, roadway standards were eliminated in favor of City Standards, lot sizes were left at lacrm and Yz acre, building area was clarified and open space configuration can be reduced on a case by case basis, The City attorney added language regarding failing septic systems so that the City does not incur costs for failure. Individual -septic systems must be on the individual lots and are not allowed innudots. There will nolonger beapublic hearing atthe concept phase. Now there will beapublic hearing atthe final plat tomemorialize the agreement via ordinance sothat itbalot cleaner and easier t0track. VVensnnanalso stated that the City Engineer did not put a number on the number of homes that would be needed to support acommunity septic. VViUi8nnsvvou|d|ikethe154.65UpurposetobennVdifiedtosay"mi|d|ifecorhdor°or " natural corridor" instead o[just corridor. Williams is concerned about the number of homes necessary to support a community dnainfie|d. Dodson feels that the critical language is that the City beable todothe work and bill back the affected residents, rather than relying on the HOA to do the work and collect. Williams pointed out some grammer issues on page 8 item 4 and Dunn would like the (as much axpossible) removed. Leaves too much room for interpretation, Would also like tochange "strive to" tu"shaU" Williams is wondering about on page 9 (6) v., the association owned stormwater management facilities. Hethought that the engineer isinsisting that the City own these in other subdivisions. VVensnnansaid that hewill discuss with contract planner and City Engineer. Williams is wondering why the code is silent regarding signage and doesn't just refer tothe City sign code. VVenunoan stated that city sign code would apply and would not need tobeput inthis section. The Planning Commission is not comfortable with page 111 (b) 2, the City holding the conservation easements and would like them to be held by an outside agency. Williams iswondering ifthere balist nfpurposes that the open space can beset aside for. Hethinks that itisnot clear enough what the purposes should be. VVensnnanstated that it does talk about agriculture and natural habitat, but it does not say that those are Lake Elmo Planning Commission Minutes; 7-2S-16 the only 2things itcan beused for. Kreinneriswondering iflanguage could beadded if the land trust doesn't accept the land, the City may consider it. Williams stated that he believes the IVIN land trust typically wants open space that is 10 acres and this could be problematic with the reduction to2Oacres. Dunn feels that there seems tobe unintended consequences for coming down toa2Oacre minimum, Williams is wondering if there should be a setback for trails when there is a wetland. Wensman stated that VBWD reviews the plans when a wetland is present and the review process protects that. Williams thinks that I54.660 (3) for deviations, there should be the word "and" after a O' b so that all 3 criteria need to be met to get the deviations. Williams thinks that on page 18 (3) is left over from the commercial PUD and should be taken out. Williams suggested some other changes that were clean upitems that applied more to commercial PUD's.

GENERAL INFORMATION Applicant: Property 01417ers: Location: Request: OP4 Boulder Ponds LLC OP4 Boulder Ponds LLC Jade Trail North, South of 51h Street rezoning/PUD amendment to the Boulder Ponds PUD to rezone Outlots B and C, Boulder Ponds from Commercial PUD and MDR-PUD, respectively to HDR-PUD Existing Land Use and Zoning: Undeveloped outlots - Commercial PUD/MDR PUD Surrounding Land Use and Zoning: LDR to the north, vacant'- Commercial PUD outlot to the east, BP to the west, vacant Commercial PUD outlot to the south Comprehensive Plan: MDR/Commercial History: Boulder Ponds Preliminary Plat was approved on 7/28/14. The subject parcels were rezoned from RT to Commercial PLTD/MDR PUD on 4/21/15. Deadline for Action: Application Complete — 6/27/16 60 Day Deadline — 8/26/16 Extension Letter Mailed — N/A 120 Day Deadline — N/A Applicable Regulations: Article XVI, Chapter 154, Sections 750-760, PUD Regulations Article X — Urban Residential Districts Planning Commission Meeting 7/25/16 Page 2 REQUEST DETA LS: OP4 Boulder Ponds is requesting a Rezoning/PUD Amendment of two parcels, Outlot B and C, from Commerical/PUD and MDR/PUD respectively, to HDR/PUD in order to better market the parcels for a future Senior Housing Development. Outlot B is presently zoned for Commercial/PUD and is 1.44 acres in size. Outlot C is presently zoned for MDR/PUD and is 2.24 acres in size. The applicant would like to rezone both parcels to HDR/PUD and market them together for a proposed senior housing project. REVIEW AND ANALYSIS: According to Article XVI, Chapter 15, Section 757, Subd C of the Planned Unit Development Code, PUD Amendments shall be authorized by an amendment of the final development plan under the procedures for zoning amendment in Article III of the City Code of Ordinances. The rationale for the housing density in the MDR portion of Boulder Ponds was described in the 12/09/13 Planning Report for the Boulder Ponds PUD Concept Plan: The medium density area, which is approximately 10.1 acres, contains 81 residential units (17 single family, 64 multi -family), resulting in a gross density of 7.98 units per acre. It should be noted that this density figure is slightly higher than what is guided by the Comprehensive Plan. However, given that the proposed development is a PUD, and that the amount of land guided for medium density residential development on these parcels by the Comprehensive Plan is much greater, Staff has determined that the proposed Concept Plan meets the spirit and intent of the Comprehensive Plan. To explain Staff's reasoning for this determination in another way, the proposed Concept Plan decreases the amount of total land guided for medium density development by over 20 acres by moving the collector road south. The slight increase in density above the allowed range per the Comp Plan is balanced by the significant reduction in the amount of land guided medium density. To put it in simple terms, by using the ]ow end of gross density ranges in the Comp Plan, these parcels were guided to have 195 total residential units (not accounting for road right-of-way), whereas the proposed PUD Concept Plan includes 157 total units. Overall, the proposed PUD Concept Plan is consistent with the intent of the land use and density requirements as guided by the City's Comprehensive Plan. The rationale for the density is sound, however, when it recommending subsequent zoning for the sites, Staff had recommended LDR/PUD for the single family cul-de-sac, Jade Circle North, and MDR/PUD for the senior housing parcel (Outlot C). Outlot B was zoned Commercial PUD. The LDR/PUD zoning is the correct zoning for the single family housing on Jade Circle North just south of 5th Street, but the remaining 2.240 acre parcel (Outlot C) was zoned MDR/PUD for a planned 64 unit Senior Housing project. The zoning code, Section 154.453, Subdivision A, allows: Averaging of Lot Area. When lots are clustered within a development to provide common open space, the open space may be used to calculate an average density per lot to determine compliance with the individual lot area requirements. To determine the allowed density for Outlot C, A 64-unit project on a 2.240 acres site (and 0.23 acres of corresponding open space) would have a density of 25.91 units per acre, exceeding the 7- unit per acres allowed by the underlying MDR zoning, or 8.4-units per acre if 20% density bonus PUBLIC HEARING ITEM 4b — ACTION ITEM Planning Commission Meeting 7/25/16 Page 3 was applied through the PUD. The HDR zoning would provide a 15-units per acre base density, or 18-units per acre if 20% density bonus was applied through the PUD. Even with HDR/PUD zoning, the 64-unit project would exceed the density allowable on the 2.47 acre site (.23 acres of open space). Therefore, OP4 Boulder Ponds LLC is proposing to rezone Outlet B (1.44 acres) from Commercial/PUD to HDR/PUD to add to the Senior Housing project area. With the addition of Outlot B, the 64-unit senior housing project be 4.18 acres (3.68 acres outlot area + .5 acres of open space) in size with a density of 15-units per acre. HDR/PUD is the appropriate zoning district for the proposed use on Outlots B and C combined. Senior housing (congregate housing) is a conditional use in both the Commercial and HDR Zoning Districts, so although the request is for a rezoning from Commercial/PUD to HDR/PUD, the proposed underlying land use remains essentially the same. In order to proceed with a senior housing project on the Oulots B and C the following, would be required: • Final PUD Plans and Final Plat (combining the two outlots into a single lot) • Conditional Use Permit DRAFT FINDINGS: In order to approve a rezoning, the Planning Commission shall consider findings are shall submit the same with its recommendation to the City Council. Staff suggests the following findings: 1. The Rezoning/PUD Amendment is consistent with the Comprehensive Plan designation for the subject property. 2. The proposed land use, Senior Housing, is a conditional use in both the Commercial and HDR zoning districts, so the underlying land use will remain unchanged. 3. The proposed HDR/PUD zoning is appropriate for the proposed senior housing density. 4. The proposed PUD/Amendment is consistent with the Boulder Ponds PUD Concept Plan and Preliminary PUD Plans. RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends approval of the Rezoning/PUD Amendment for Outlots B and C, Boulder Ponds, rezoning from Commercial/PUD and MDR/PUD, respectively, to I-IDR/PUD with the following motion: "Move to recommend approval of the Rezoning/PUD Amendment for Outlots B and C, Boulder Ponds from Commercial/PUD and MDR/PUD, respectively, to HDR/PUD with the following motion based ott the ndings in the Staff report."

Action: Applicable Regulations: Application Complete — 11/7/13 60 Day Deadline — 1/6/14 Extension Letter Mailed — No 120 Day Deadline — 3/7/13 Chapter 153 — Subdivision Regulations Article 10 — Urban Residential Districts § 54.450) Article 16 — Planned Unit Development § 54.800) REQUEST DETAILS The City of Lake Elmo has received an application from Amaris Company, LLC for a Planned Unit Development (PUD) Concept Plan on approximately 58 acres of land located within the I-94 Corridor Planning Area. The Concept Plan includes 93 single family homes on the northern and central portion of the site, as well as a proposed 64-unit senior housing multi -family residential building, In addition, the Concept Plan includes vacant land along the Hudson Blvd that is planned for future Commercial land uses per the City's Comprehensive Plan. It is the applicant's intention to plat the Commercial areas as outlots until Commercial users are identified. The proposed PUD, to be called Boulder Ponds of Lake Elmo, would be located on property currently owned by the Louis Damiani Trust, currently managed by Security Bank & Trust Co., and Mr. Tim Montgomery. The Concept Plan has been developed in response to the City's adopted Comprehensive Plan for the 1-94 Collider, which guide the applicant's land as a mix of Urban Low Density Residential — LDR, Urban Medium Density Residential — MDR and Commercial. The plan incorporates 93 single family lots, most of which are designed with a width of approximately 65 feet. The majority (76) of the single family lots are located north of the future minor collector road, 5th Street, whereas 17 single family lots are located south of the minor collector. In addition, the 64-unit senior housing multi- family building is also located south of the minor collector road adjacent to the areas that are guided for future Commercial land uses. As opposed to following the City's normal subdivision procedures, the applicants have determined that a planned development approach offers the best method to achieve their development vision for their property. The purpose of the City's PUD ordinance is to provide flexibility in development and zoning standards for large parcels under unified control with the goal of achieving higher quality development. More specifically, the General Concept Plan phase of the PUD procedure allows the applicant to submit a general plan to the City demonstrating his or her basic intent of the development, including general density ranges, location of residential and nonresidential land uses, and location of streets, paths and open space. The purpose of approving the Concept Plan is to PUBLIC HEARING ITEM 4A — ACTION ITEM provide the applicant with conceptual approval related to the requested flexibilities or variations from the City Zoning and Subdivision Ordinances, or other City standards, before incurring substantial costs related to submitting a full Preliminary P1at application. In terms of procedure, the planned development path is similar to the normal subdivision process in that Preliminary and Final PUD Plan approvals must follow parallel track to Preliminary and Final Plat. However, one critical difference between the planned development process and standard subdivision process is that the PUD Concept Plan phase requires a public hearing and the approval of the City Council. Alternatively, the Sketch Plan review phase, the first step in the standard subdivision process, does not require a public hearing and City approval. The reason that the PUD Concept Plan requires a public hearing and City approval is due to the requested flexibility and variation from the City's standard zoning and subdivision procedures. Regarding variation from the City's Zoning Ordinance and Comprehensive Plan, the applicants have requested minor flexibility in a couple of areas, hence justifying the planned development approach. The requested variances or flexibilities will he further discussed and analyzed in the Planning and Zoning section of the Staff Report. The Boulder Ponds Concept Plan also includes a significant portion of the proposed 51h Street minor collector road as planned in the City's Transportation Plan. Once completed, the minor collector road will serve as the primary access for the Boulder Ponds planned development. The segment of the minor collector road included in the Concept Plan is part of the I st phase of the 5Street collector road, from Inwood Avenue (CSAH 13) to Keats Avenue (CSAH 19). Eventually, the 5' Street minor collector road is planned to serve the entire 1-94 Corridor from west to east (Inwood Ave. to Manning Ave.). As shown in the Concept Plan, the design of the minor collector road as part of the Boulder Ponds development is consistent with the City's specifications for this roadway segment. The applicant has provided for a 120-foot wide right-of-way, which will provide sufficient room for the construction of a parkway with turning lanes, 10-foot bituminous trail, sidewalk, trees, lighting, and other design elements as planned by the City. It should also be noted that the applicants and other interested landowners in the area have recently met with City staff to discuss the possibility of petitioning the City for a 429 area -wide assessment project to complete the 5" Street minor collector road from Keats Ave. (CSAH 19) to the western boundary of the Boulder Pond project next year. Finally, to achieve the desired vision of development for their project, as well as address difficult grade issues on the site, the applicants are proposing to move the alignment of the minor collector road to the south. The applicants are currently working with the adjacent property owners to the east, US Homes Corp. (Lennar Homes) and DPS-Lake Elmo LLC (Dale Properties), to come to terms on an agreed alignment of the 5" Street minor collector road. The proposed alignment of the minor collector road will be further discussed in the Review and Analysis section of the Staff Report. In terms ofutilities, the applicants are currently participating in the Section 34 Utility Project, which is extending sewer and water throughout Stage 1 of the 1-94 Corridor Planning Area. With the improvements associated with the Section 34 project, the applicants will have access to both sewer and water from the south (Hudson Blvd.) and west (Eagle Point Business Park). Currently, sewer and water service are being provided by the City of Oakdale via a Joint Services Agreement. There is currently enough capacity in the Oakdale systein to provide sewer and water service to the Boulder Ponds development, As the build -out of the Stage 1 Area of the 1-94 Corridor progresses, the City will need to transition water services to the Lake Elmo municipal water system via the Inwood Ave Trunk Waterrnain Extension Project, as well as transition sewer flows to the Met Council W.O.N.E interceptor station along Hudson Blvd. The City will work with the applicants to plan for adequate utility infrastructure with the submission of the PUD Preliminary Plan and Preliminary Plat. Other major features of the proposed planned development include outlot areas that will provide for open space. trails, and storm water management throughout the development area. The development PUBLIC HEARING ITEM 4A — ACTION ITEM 4 also incorporates a buffer/greenway area along the northern boundary of the plat adjacent to an existing RE — Residential Estates subdivision as required in the City's Comprehensive Plan. All outlots that are planned for park land or storm water use will be deeded to the City, while the future home owner's association will retain ownership of the remaining outlots. Regarding next steps, the applicant is proposing to bring forward a Preliminary Plan and Preliminary Plat application upon approval of the Concept Plan. Per the PUD Ordinance, the final approval of the proposed planned unit development will result in a zoning change to a specific PUD zoning district, with specific requirements and standards that are specific to the development. If the application moves forward, the change in the base zoning (LDR, MDR, C) of the property would occur at the time of Preliminary Plan approval, and the final PUD zoning with approved flexibility that is specific to the development would be established at Final Plan approval. PLANNING AND ZONING ISSUES The Boulder Ponds site is guided for Urban Low Density Residential, Urban Medium Density Residential and Commercial land uses in the City's Comprehensive Plan. The Density Analysis sheet within the Boulder Ponds Concept Plan delineates the low density, medium density and commercial areas respectively within the proposed planned development. The realignment of the 5' Street minor collector road to the south allows the applicant to maximize the single family residential area to the north, creating a larger distinct single family neighborhood as opposed to having the parcels bisected in half by the collector road. Regarding the design of the planned development, the single family residential area to the north of the minor collector street is defined by one curvilinear residential through street that allows for ease of travel through the neighborhood. The remaining portions of the single family neighborhood are served by three cul-de-sacs, none exceeding 500 feet in length. Also, the applicants are proposing to include several landscaped medians and islands within the proposed City streets, the highlights of which are three medians in the middle of the single family neighborhood. In relation to the lots and blocks, the arrangement follow a curvilinear pattern, which allows the vast majority of the lots to back up to corrunon open space of some form. The northern portion of the single family area north of the minor collector street also contains the 100' greenbelt buffer between the new growth areas and the Stonegate residential estates subdivision as guided by the City's Comprehensive Plan. The greenbelt buffer contains a trail that connects to the trail provided by the Lennar urban low density subdivision to the east and connects with the trail within the 5'11 Street corridor to the west. This area is also the location of a power line easement owned by Xce] Energy. On the southern half of the minor collector road, a local street connects the medium density residential commercial areas from 5111 Street to Hudson Boulevard. South of the collector road, the plan include one small area of 17 single family lots, as well as a 64-unit multi -family building intended for senior housing. Regarding the commercial areas (approximately 9 acres) to the south of the medium density residential area, it is the applicant's intention to plat these areas as outlots until prospective users are identified. For pedestrian circulation and recreation, sidewalks and trails are planned throughout the Boulder Ponds planned development. Consistent with City Design Standards, the applicants have included sidewalks to be installed on at least one side of all streets. Also, the greenbelt buffer trail included on the northern portion of the site is consistent with the guidance of the Comprehensive Plan. In addition to the internal trails and sidewalks that are proposed by the developer, the 5111 Street Corridor include a 10-foot bituminous trail on the north side of the road and a six-foot sidewalk on the south PUBLIC HEARING ITEM 4A — ACTION ITEM side. The internal trails and sidewalks provide good circulation to the 5th Street trail, which is intended to provide a regional transportation and recreation purpose. Regarding the single family lots within the Boulder Ponds Concept Plan, the vast majority of the lots meet the minimum size requirements for the City's Urban Low Density Residential LDR zoning district. The minimum lot size per the City's LDR zoning district is 8,000 square feet, and the minimum lot width at building setback line is 60'. Of the 93 single family lots, all but five lots (Lot 59, 69, 72, 73 and 75) meet or exceed the minimum lot size of 8,000 square feet as required under LDR zoning. Overall, the average single family lot size in the planned development is approximately 10,495 square feet. In addition, the vast majority of the single family lots meet or exceed the minimum 60' lot width. The applicants have noted that allowing for minor flexibility in lot area and width is one of the key reasons for proceeding with a planned development. Also pertaining to the single family residential lots, the applicants are requesting that the City consider reduced side yard and front yard setbacks to accommodate the unique design of the single family residential portion of the planned development. Reduced setbacks allow for greater clustering, which promotes high levels of open space. According to §154.8021-F, planned developments may allow for reduced setbacks and reductions in area and width of individual lots. It is Staff s understanding that the applicants are seeking to allow 5' side yard setbacks on both sides of the principal structure. In addition, the applicants may be seeking reduced front yard setbacks, Any reductions in front yard setback must be approved with the understanding that adequate separation is provided between parking areas (driveways) and sidewalks, so that any potential obstacles, such as parked vehicles or trailers, do not encroach on residential sidewalks. Overall, reductions in all residential lot sizes and setbacks must be clearly identified, reviewed and approved at tine of PUD Preliminary Plan phase. Also related to single family lots, the applicants have included five residential lots that are partially or almost entirely on a small triangular piece of property owned by Dale Properties. The applicants are proposing to acquire this land from Dale Properties in order to facilitate the platting of these five additional lots and realign the minor collector road to the south. Dale Properties has submitted a letter (Attachment #5) indicating that general agreement has been reached on the land acquisition, For the purposes of the Concept Plan, the applicants have "ghost platted" the five lots, Lots 14-18 on the PUD Lot Areas sheet, with the intention of acquiring the land prior to Preliminary Plat submission. If these lots are to be included in the PUD Preliminary Plan and Preliminary Plat, the applicants must submit evidence demonstrating control or consent of this area being included in the plat. If this is not possible, plans must be revised accordingly. Regarding the proposed multi -family residential building, the applicant has noted that it is likely intended for a senior living facility. Given that the application is currently at Concept Plan phase, it is not required that significant detail be provided. However, it should be noted that within the Urban Medium Density Residential — MDR zoning district, multi -family dwellings are considered a conditional use. At the time of Final Plat and PUD Final Plan approval for the phase that includes the 64-unit multi -family dwelling, the applicant will be required to apply for a Conditional Use Permit (CUP). Further review of the multi -family dwelling should occur at the time of review for the required CUP. On the topic of housing density, the applicants have submitted a density analysis worksheet to present the gross densities associated with the low density and medium density areas. Due to the fact that the minor collector road has been moved to the south, the proposed Boulder Ponds planned development would include more single family residential development than is currently planned for in the Comprehensive Plan. However, it is important to note that per the Comp Plan, the 5'h Street PUBLIC HEARING ITEM 4A — ACTION ITEM 6 minor collector road serves as the boundary between low density and medium density areas in the Stage I Area (Inwood Ave. to Keats Ave.) of the 1-94 Corridor. The gross density of the single family area to the north of the collector road, which is approximately 28.5 acres, is calculated to be 2.66 units per acre. The medium density area, which is approximately I 0.1 acres, contains 81 residential units (17 single family, 64 multi -family), resulting in a gross density of 7.98 units per acre. It should be noted that this density figure is slightly higher than what is guided by the Comprehensive Plan. However, given that the proposed development is a PUD, and that the amount of land guided for medium density residential development on these parcels by the Comprehensive Plan is much greater, Staff has determined that the proposed Concept Plan meets the spirit and intent of the Comprehensive Plan. To explain Stairs reasoning for this determination in another way, the proposed Concept Plan decreases the amount of total land guided for medium density development by over 20 acres by moving the collector road south. The slight increase in density above the allowed range per the Comp Plan is balanced by the significant reduction in the amount of land guided medium density. To put it in simple terms, by using the low end ofgross density ranges in the Comp Plan, these parcels were guided to have 195 total residential units (not accounting for road right-of- way), whereas the proposed PUD Concept Plan includes 157 total units. Overall, the proposed PUD Concept Plan is consistent with the intent of the land use and density requirements as guided by the City's Comprehensive Plan. In terms of parkland dedication requirements, the Subdivision Ordinance requires that 10% of the land in urban residential districts to be dedicated for park purposes. Alternatively, fees may be submitted to the City in lieu of land dedication at a rate equal to the market value of the land. It is at the discretion of the City Council how parkland/fees are accepted to meet this requirement. The Boulder Ponds site is approximately 58 acres in size. Therefore, under the approach of a pure land dedication, the applicants would be required to dedicate approximately 5.8 acres of land for parkland purposes. In the application narrative, the applicants note that within the proposed Plan Concept Plan, 11.8 acres are devoted as park space. However, it must be noted that to be accepted as parkland for dedication puiposes, the land must be able to serve an active recreation purpose. In addition, if linear land dedications are accepted, a trail that provides effective connectivity in the community must be provided and constructed. Also, it should be noted that the City cannot accept land that is subject to private easement for public parkland dedication. This consideration relates to the location of the Xcel Energy power line easement in the greenbelt buffer area in the northern portion of the site, It is the recommendation of Staff that further discussions be had with the applicants regarding which areas are eligible for parkland dedication, Greater clarity regarding parkland dedication requirements and eligibility should be reached in advance of Preliminary Plat. Regarding available or future park facilities, the applicants are proposing to continue the greenbelt/buffer trail along the northern portion of the property. This trail provides connections to the 511' Street regional trail and Stonegate Park from the east. Given it proximity, it makes logical sense that Stonegate Park, in addition to other City parks, wiU serve the future residents of the Boulder Ponds planned development. It is recommended by Staff that the City works with the applicants and property owners to the west of Stonegate Park, Azure Properties, to investigate possible expansions or improvements to Stonegate Park. In addition Staff will work with the Park Commission to evaluate if any additional facilities or programs should he offered at Stonegate Park. Evaluating the facilities and programing of Stonegate Park should inform future planning or expansion efforts. 'REVIEW AND ANALYSIS PUBLIC HEARING ITEM 4A — ACTION ITEM 7 City Staff has reviewed the proposed Boulder Ponds PUD Concept Plan, which has gone through multiple iterations in advance of the formal application being accepted as complete by the City. During the course of these reviews, several of the issues and concerns that were previously raised by Staff have been addressed by the applicant with updated submission documents. However, it is important to note that there are other elements of the plan that still require additional attention in advance of a PUD Preliminary Plan and Preliminary Plat submittal. In general, the proposed plan will meet all applicable City requirements for PUD Concept Plan approval, and any deficiencies or additional work that is needed is noted for the purpose of inclusion in the review record. In addition there are several things happening in and around the Boulder Ponds planned development that will have an impact on the project, including the possible petition for a 429 area -wide assessment project to construct the 513 Street Trainor collector road, as well as the final alignment of said road. Given that some of these efforts are still underway, Staff recognizes that some minor modifications may be necessary from PUD Concept Plan phase to PUD Preliminary Plan phase. The City has received a detailed list of comments from the City Engineer, in addition to general comments by the South Washington Watershed District, all of which are attached for consideration by the Commission. In addition to the general comments that have been provided in the preceding sections of this repon, Staff would like the Planning Commission to consider the issues and comments related to the following discussion areas as well: Comprehensive Plan. The proposed subdivision is consistent with the Lake Elmo Comprehensive Plan for this area and with the densities that were approved as part of this plan. The gross densities for the development generally are consistent with the ranges allowed for the urban low density and urban medium density land use categories. Other aspects of the Comprehensive Plan relate to the Boulder Ponds PUD Concept Plan as follows: o Transportation. The City's transportation plan calls for the construction of a minor collector road that will connect the eastern and western portions of the 1-94 Corridor. Staff views this road as a critical piece of the transportation infrastructure that is needed to serve the densities that have been planned for this area. The applicant has incorporated the right-of-way at the width necessary to construct the minor collector as part of its PUD Concept Plan. o Parks. The greenbelt trail provided on the northern portion of the site is consistent with the City's Land Use Plan in the Comprehensive Plan. In addition, the City's Park Plan in the Comprehensive Plan does not identify this area as a future location of a neighborhood park due to its proximity to Stonegate Park. o Vetter. Water will eventually be provided to this area via a future extension of the municipal system along Inwood Avenue. The Boulder Ponds planned development will be able to be served under the City's current agreement with the City- of Oakdale until the Inwood watennain extension is completed. o Sanitary Sewer, The Boulder Ponds planned development will be required to connect to the sewer main being constructed as part of the Section 34 area wide assessment project. In this case, all of the property owners that are planned to be served by sanitary sewer have petitioned the City to construct the required sewer and water mains to serve the area. PUBLIC HEARING ITEM 4A ACTION ITEM o Phasing. The Boulder Ponds planned development is located within the Stage 1 phasing area for the 1-94 Corridor and therefore the proposed development is consistent with the City's anticipated phasing of growth. Zoning. The proposed base zoning for the Boulder Ponds site will be split between the Urban Low Density Residential — LDR, the Urban Medium Density Residential — MDR, and Commercial — C zoning districts. However, approval of PUD Final Plan will result in a zoning change to a specific PUD Zoning District, recording all of the permitted variations, such as minimums lot size and setbacks, from the Zoning requirements of the base zoning district. Subdivision Requirements. The City's Subdivision Ordinance includes a fairly lengthy list of standards that must be met by all new subdivisions, and include requirements for blocks, lots, easements, erosion and sediment control, drainage systems, monuments, sanitary sewer and water facilities, streets, and other aspects of the plans. The City will work with the applicant to ensure that all standards specified in the Subdivision Ordinance are met, or that the appropriate variation is requested through the PUD Preliminary Plan. Concept Phasing. The applicants have also submitted a Concept Phasing Plan, indicating how they intend to proceed with construction and build -out of the proposed planned development. As proposed by the applicants, the Phasing Plan indicates that Phase I includes construction of the access road to Hudson Blvd. and the southern portion of the northern single family residential area. Phase II includes construction of the medium density residential area. Finally, Phase III includes the construction of the remaining single family area in the northern portion of the site, as well the 5'h Street minor collector road. Staff' is recommending that the Phasing Plan be revised so that all public infrastructure is constructed adjacent to any areas being platted. More specifically, the minor collector road should be constructed adjacent to any areas of residential homes that are being platted. It is critical that the city ensures that all public improvements needed to serve development in the I-94 Corridor are installed as growth occurs. Infrastructure. The developer will be required to construct all streets, sewer, water, stonn water ponds, and other infrastructure necessary to serve the development. Storm water facilities should be platted as outlots and deeded to the city for maintenance purposes. Adequate access to storm water facilities must be provided. Tree Preservation and Protection. Based upon the existing tree cover of the site, it is possible that the applicant may not be required to complete a Tree Preservation Plan. If the applicant can demonstrate that significant trees on the site will not be negatively impacted by development activity, they would be allowed to submit a Woodland Evaluation Report in lieu of a Tree Preservation Plan. Green Belt/Buffer. The Comprehensive Plan identifies an area north of the Boulder Ponds planned development and south of the Stonegate subdivision as a green belt/buffer space with a minimum width of WO feet. In the case of the subject property, this area is also the location for a significant power line easement held by Xcel Energy. As proposed in the PUD Concept Plan, the applicant is utilizing this space for the continuation of trail corridor from the east. Design of the greenbelt trail is consistent with City planning efforts to date. Staff believes that that green belt/buffer requirements of the Comprehensive Plan have been met by the applicant. PUBLIC HEARING ITEM 4A -ACTION ITEM 9 Streets and Transportation. The proposed street system has been designed to comply with all applicable subdivision requirements and City engineering standards, with the exception of the requested variance as noted in the City Engineer's report. Staff does have some concerns related to the landscape medians and island in term of acceptable turning radii, emergency vehicle access, snow removal, general maintenance, and safe turning movements. More specifically, the central intersection of the northern single family area contains three large medians/island that present difficult turning movements and safety concerns related to limited turning radii, potential limited visibility due to plantings, and, in multiple instances, direct driveway access that intersects with this unique central intersection. The applicant will be directed to provide significant geometric detail of these areas and work with staff to ensure that all islands and medians allows for safe travel movements and efficient maintenance. Finally, further clarification must be provided regarding proposed plantings in these medians/islands, as well as the responsible party for the maintenance of these plantings. 51/1 Street Alignment and Design. Staff has the following comments regarding the proposed alignment of the 5th Street minor collector road and design: o The applicants have proposed to relocate the alignment of the 5111 Street minor collector road to the south in order to maximize the potential for a single family neighborhood to the north, as well as mitigate difficult grade issues that exist on the site. From meeting with the applicants on multiple occasions regarding the proposed alignment of the minor collector road, staff has found the existing grade challenges to be accurate, and the alignment proposed in the Concept Plan to work in the context of meeting Municipal State Aid (MSA) road design requirements. To make the proposed alignment feasible, the applicants are working with the property owners to the east, Lennar and Dale Properties, to negotiate realigning the road to the south. All indications that the City has received indicate that general agreement has been reached, and the realignment will move forward. Evidence of these negotiations is documented in Attachment #5, a letter from Mr, Alan Dale of Dale Properties. o In addition to the eastern alignment, the applicants have also been working with Bremer Bank regarding the alignment of the minor collector road in the northwestern portion of the site. As proposed, the 5Ih Street right-of-way would encroach on the Bremer Bank property, and the road would encroach ever so slightly on the very northeast corner of the Bremer property. It is the City's understanding that discussion regarding the alignment of the collector in the northwest corner are moving forward in a positive direction. As a condition of seeking PUD Preliminary Plan and Preliminary Plat approval, Staff is recommending that both alignment areas, the northwestern and eastern alignments, are resolved or agreed upon by all interested parties in advance of future application submittals. o Regarding the proposed alignment of the collector road, as well as the alignment of the local access road connecting Hudson Blvd., the properties to the south and east (Cranky Ape and Lampert Lumber) of the subject property do not currently have access provided. It is Staffs recommendation that right-of-way be platted to these adjacent parcels in a location that is acceptable to the City Engineer. o Finally, as part of the PUD Preliminary Plan and Preliminary Plat application submission, Staff is requesting that the plans for 51/1 Street include all design elements as requested by the City, including the street trees, landscaping, lighting, median plantings, and other elements as proposed by the Damon Farber design work. PUBLIC HEARING ITEM 4A — ACTION ITEM 10 Sidewalks and Trails. As noted in the City Engineer's report, there are several instances where sidewalks and trails are located within either private outlots or on individual residential single family lots. The Subdivision Ordinance requires that all front property lines include 10' drainage and utility easements. The placement of sidewalks within these easements would impact the City's ability to use these easements for utility or maintenance purposes. In addition, having the sidewalks located on private property hinders the City's ability to maintain these public improvements. Also, it is important to maintain appropriate clear zones for all sidewalks and trails. Staff is recommending that all sidewalks and trails be located in City right-of-way. City Engineer Review. The City Engineer has provided the Planning Department with a detailed comment letter dated November 20, 2013 as a summary of his PUD Concept Plan review. Staff has incorporated the more significant issues identified by the Engineer as part of the recommended conditions of approval, and has also included a general condition that all issues identified by the City Engineer must he addressed by the applicant prior to approval of a the PUD Preliminary Plan and Preliminary Plat. The Engineer does note that the proposed Concept Plan complies with the City's standards, with one exception related to base material of City streets. Watershed Districts. The project area lies within the South Washington Watershed District. Comments have been provided (Attachment #4) by the SWWD Engineer, Matt Moore. Environmental Review. Based upon the proposed scope of the Concept Plan, the City does not believe that the planned development will individually trigger further environmental review. Based on the above Staff Report and analysis, Staff is recommending approval of the Boulder Ponds PUD Concept Plan with multiple conditions intended to address future considerations related to the submission of a PUD Preliminary Plan and Preliminary Plat application. The recommended conditions are as follows: Recommended Conditions of Approval: 1) The applicant must obtain permission and consent from the adjoining property owner, Bremer Bank, related to the right-of-way and alignment of the 5th Street minor collector road in the northwest corner of the site. The final alignment must be detennined prior to the submittal of PUD Preliminary Plan and Preliminary Plat applications. 2) The applicant must resolve the alignment of the 5th Street minor collector road in the southeast portion of the site with adjoining property owners, specifically Lennar and Dale Properties. The final alignment must be determined prior to the submittal of PUD Preliminary Plan and Preliminary Plat applications. Access must be provided to the adjacent parcels owned by Star River Holdings LLC (Cranky Ape) and Lampert Yards Inc (Lampert Lumber) via either the 5th Street minor collector road or the access road to Hudson Boulevard. The access location must meet the approval of the City Engineer. 4) The applicant must acquire additional land in the eastern portion of the site to plat single family residential Lots 14-18 as part of the Preliminary Plat application, or revise their plan accordingly. PUBLIC HEARING ITEM 4A — ACTION ITEM 11 5) Request for tlexibilities related to lot size, width, setbacks and all other requirements per the City's Zoning Ordinance or Design Standards must be clarified and documented as part of the PUD Preliminary Plan and Preliminary Plat submission, 6) The applicant must revise the Phasing Plan to accommodate the construction of all public infrastructure adjacent to any proposed areas to be platted within said phase per the City Engineer's report dated November 20, 2013. 7) All street and median geometrics must accommodate emergency vehicle access and maintenance. Applicants must demonstrate acceptable turning radii for all uniquely shaped landscape medians and cul-de-sacs. 8) All sidewalks must be located in dedicated public right-of-way. Al! trails must be located within dedicated right-of-way, City parkland, or a 30-foot wide dedicated easement at a minimum. 9) The developer shall follow all of the rules and regulations spelled out in the Wetland Conservation Act, and shall acquire the needed permits from the appropriate watershed district prior to the commencement of any grading or development activity on the site. 10) Any land under which public trails are located will be accepted as park land provided the developer constructs said trails as part of the public improvements for the subdivision, and the land is located outside of any restrictive easements. 11) The applicant shall observe all comments and recommendations from the City Engineer documented on the Engineer's report dated November 20. 2013. DRAFT FINDINGS Staffis recommending that the Planning Commission consider the following findings with regards to the proposed Boulder Ponds Concept Plan: 1) That the Boulder Ponds PUD Concept Plan is consistent with the Lake Elmo Comprehensive Plan and the Future Land Use Map for this area. 2) That the Boulder Ponds PUD Concept Plan complies with the general intent of the City's Urban Low Density Residential and Urban Medium Density Residential zoning districts. 3) That the Boulder Ponds PUD Concept Plan complies with the City's Subdivision Ordinance. 4) That the Boulder Ponds PUD complies with the City's PUD Ordinance. 5) That the Boulder Ponds PUD Concept Plan is consistent with the City's engineering standards with one exception as noted by the City Engineer in his review comments to the City dated November 20, 2013. RECCOMENDATION: Staff recommends that the Planning Commission recommend approval of the Boulder Ponds PUD Concept Plan with the 11 conditions of approval as listed in the Staff Report. Suggested motion: "Move to recommend approval of the Boulder Ponds PUD Concept Platt with the findings offact and conditions of approval as drafted in the Staff Report."

We would like to include these as a discussion item at the December 6'h City Council meeting. To summarize, we have two density calculations for consideration: 1. Comp Plan Density — Based on the Ciry's Comprehensive Plan (Map 3-3), the site is allowed 266.7 units. After netting out thc approved units, 75.7 additional units are allocated to the sire. 2. Zoning/ PUD Density — Based on the approved Boulder Ponds Zoning/PUD, the sire is allowed 240.6 units. After netting out the total number of planned units, 49.7 additional units are allowed. In either calculation, the multifamily site could be afforded significantly more density than currently allowed. In the Comp Plan analysis, there would be 168.7 multifamily units and in the Zoning/PUD analysis, there would be 142.6 multifamily units. Please contact us if you have questions or need further clarification. Thank you.

The final plat includes 20 single family residential lots located to the east of the first phase. The Planning Commission held a public hearing on October 24, 2016 and tabled the request to allow Staff to research perceived stormwater issues related to the Wildflower and Village Preserve Developments and promised conditions of approval related to the Smith property. The Planning Commission resumed discussion of the application on 11/14/16 and recommended approval after reviewing findings by the Valley Branch Watershed District and an understanding of the Smith Property issues. ISSUE BEFORE COUNCIL: The City Council is being requested to adopt Resolution 2016- approvin plans for Wildflower at Lake Elmo 2"d Addition with ten conditions. PROPOSAL DETAILS/ANALYSIS: e tina plat and final PUD On 11/14/16, the Planning Commission reviewed the Valley Branch Watershed District report on the stormwater issues and the agreements between the developer and Mr. Smith regarding access and other improvements promised with the second addition. The Planning Commission determined that that the stormwater issues are understood and will be resolved with the construction process and that the agreements between the developer and Mr. Smith were private agreements and not subject to plat approval. It was determined, however, that two temporary easements that are set to expire with the approval of the second addition need to be replaced with new temporary easements. Originally, a larger second phase was anticipated which would have given the Smith property access and utilities. This will now occur with a later phase. New easements have been made a condition of final plat approval. City Council Meeting 12/6/2016 Regular Agenda Item #16 As outlined in the Planning Commission report, the other outstanding issues are as follows: Street Names. Street B on the Final Plat has not been given a proper name. This street should be given a name consistent with the City's street naming ordinance prior to recording the plat. This has been made a condition of approval. Engineering Review. The City Engineer has reviewed the final plat submittal and has prepared a memorandum for the Commission and Council's review. The comments in the City Engineer's review memorandum dated September 29, 2016 should be addressed prior to releasing the plat for recording. This has been made a condition of approval. Landscape Plan. A revised landscape plan has been submitted for review, but has not been approved. Approval of the landscape plan and will be required prior to recording the plat. This has been made condition of approval. Protective Easement. A condition of preliminary plat was to protect all open space with protective easements. A protective easement is being prepared to protect Outlot A from any future development. Execution of the easement agreement is required prior to releasing the plat for recording. This has been made a condition of approval. Preliminary Plat Conditions. The final plat is in conformance with the preliminary plat. The preliminary plat and PUD plans were approved with conditions. Staff has provided comments on the status of each in bold italics in the Planning Commission Report (attached). There are several preliminary plat conditions that have been carried forward to with this approval. Prior to the execution of the Final Plat by City officials, the Developer shall enter into a Developer's Agreement acceptable to the City Attorney and approved by the City Council that delineates who is responsible for the design, construction, and payment of the required improvements for the Wildflower at Lake Elmo 2nd Addition Final Plat and Final PUD Development Plans with financial guarantees therefore. • All easements as requested by the City Engineer and Public Works Department shall be documented on the Final Plat prior to the execution of the final plat by City Officials. • A Common Interest Agreement concerning management of the common areas of Wildflower at nd Lake Elmo 2 Addition and establishing a homeowner's association shall be submitted in final form to the Community Development Director before a building permit may be issued for any structure within this subdivision. The applicant shall also enter into a landscape license/public art agreement and maintenance agreement with the City that clarifies the individuals or entities responsible for any landscaping and public art installed in areas outside of land dedicated as public park and open space on the final plat. Street signs and no parking signs shall be installed on City Streets within the development prior to any building permits being issued. FISCAL IMPACT: TBD — the Council will be asked to review a developer's agreement concerning the final plat at a future meeting. The agreement will include a detailed accounting of any development costs that will be the responsibility of the City.

REVIEW AND ANALYSIS: At the October 10, 2016 Planning Commission meeting, Staff discussed the PUD Agreement and a conflict in the interpretation of the setback adjacent a public street in the courtyard areas. Since the meeting, Staff has further researched the issue and discovered that the PUD Agreement Summary document was in conflict with the Preliminary Plat Resolution No. 2015-23 (attached). The resolution and attached 4/14/16 City Council minutes clarify the setback issue, establishing PUBLIC HEARING ITEM 5a oiduvardsetback adjacent upublic street al |0feet, rather than 15fe:.

The BUSINESS ITEM 5A sideyard setback adjacent a public street at 10 feet, rather than 15 feet. That being said, encroachments are allowed into setbacks, but not necessarily drainage and utility easements. Staff will enforce a no encroachment policy for the drainage and utility easements adjacent the public street to ensure that there will be no more similar issues as was illustrated with Lot 4, Block 4, Wildflower at Lake Elmo lst Addition. Also at the October 10, 2016 meeting, stormwater from Wildflower and Village Preserve was discussed and the Planning Commission tabled the Wildflower 2nd Addition final plat and final PUD until the potential issues were better understood. John Hanson from the Valley Branch Watershed District is looking into the stormwater issues and will issue a report to the Valley Branch Board on 10/21/16, too late for the Planning Commission packet. Planning Staff will have copies of that memo available at the Planning Commission meeting and will email it to Planning Commissioners once it is received. The memo is anticipated to have an explanation of the stormwater issues that will hopefully make sense and will allow Wildflower 2nd Addition to proceed. The Rich Smith issue, comments made by Rich Smith that conditions of the first addition plat have not been complied with, appear to be a private agreement between Mr. Smith and Mr. Engstrom that would have provided connection to municipal sewer, landscaping and other improvements. The issues remaining with the final plat are: Stormwater. (as mentioned above). Street Names. Street B on the Final Plat has not been given a proper name. This street should be named consistent with the City's street naming ordinance prior to recording the plat. Engineering Review.

The site was graded with the first phase development, so no grading plans were included in the final plat submittal. REVIEW AND ANALYSIS: Staff has reviewed the final plat and final PUD development plans and has identified a number of issues that need to be addressed prior to recoding the final plat. A sutnmary of the issues are as follows: PUBLIC HEARING ITEM 4b 3 Planned Unit Development Agreement. The Wildflower development is a Planned Unit Development and soine flexibility was pennitted under this ordinance. Flexibility granted under planned unit developments are negotiated up front and the agreements are approved with the plat. The City's MDR — Medium Density Residential Zoning District requirements will apply to this development with the exceptions outlined in the PUD Agreement approved with the first phase below: WI LDFLOWE LOT PROFILE ( SFD ) RIDGE LOTS CONSERVANCY PRAIRIE LOTS COURTYARD LOTS LOTS (Garden Villa Homes) QUANTITY 9 13 51 67 AVG DIMENSION VARIABLE VARIABLE 85'x145' tr. 60'zi15' ./.

DESIGN REVIEW PROCEDURE. PUBLIC HEARING ITEM 4b 4 The PUD Plans/Agreement also allowed flexibility from the City street standards. The following is a general summary of the subdivision design elements that were approved: Proposed Street Standards: • ROW Width-- Local 60 ft, (per Subdivision Ordinance) o Street Widths — Local: 28 ft. (per City standard) o Street Widths — Other: 24 ft. (two way with parking one side) 20 ft. (one way with parking) I8ft. (one way with no parking) • Alley/Rear Access 18ft. (proposed PUD standard) The proposed streets in the Wildtlower at Lake Elmo 2"(1Addition are as follows: • Goldenrod Court is a 60 foot RJW with 28' wide local street a Wildflower Drive is a 110 foot with R./NV divided by a median with street lane widths of 19'-4" and .21'-4" (no parking) • Monarch Path a 30 foot R/W with 18' wide lane (one way - no parking). o Street B (unnamed) is a 32 foot R/W with 20.5' wide lane (one way with parking). • Sunflower lane is a 65 foot R/W with a 24' wide lane (parking on one side). PUD Agreement - Phase 2. The developer has suggested an interpretation of the PUD Agreement that is inconsistent with Staff s interpretation. The PUD Agreement (above) established the sideyard setback from a public street as being 15 feet for the courtyard areas. Typically setbacks are established from property lines, not streets, and all the other setbacks in the PUD Agreement are to property lines. The developer's interpretation is problematic as is illustrated by the building permit being issued for Lot 4, Block 4, Wildtlower at Lake Elmo I Addition. The permit was approved after Staff being convinced the setback was from the street. The home was constructed with a setback that is 10.2 feet from the corner side property line, or 16 feet from the street (Hummingbird Path). As a result, the home is located up to the side yard drainage utility easement with tnultiple encroachments into it, including: a fireplace, a bay window and an egress window well, When the small utility company installed the utilities, the trencher damaged the egress window well stone wall that encroached in the esasement. The developer, aware of this issue, is specifically requesting a 10 foot (property line) setback for lot 1, Block 3 and Lot 4, Block 3, Wildflower at Lake Elmo 2"d Addition. It is Staffs belief that this permit should not have been approved and that the 15 foot setback from a public street should have be interpreted as setback from the property line on a corner lot adjacent a public street. Furthermore, encroachments are not permitted in drainage and utility easements. Some encroachments are permitted into setbacks as outline above in the PUD Agreement, Planning and Engineering Staff are opposed to the suggested interpretation and does not support corneryard setbacks adjacent a public street at 10 feet. Street Names. Street B on the Final Plat has not been given a proper name. This street should be named consistent with the City's street naming ordinance prior to recording the plat. Engineering Review. The City Engineer has reviewed the final plat submittal and has prepared a memorandum for the Commission and Council's review. The comments in thc City Engineer's review memorandum dated September 29, 2016 should be addressed prior to releasing the plat for recording. PUBLIC HEARING ITEM 4b Preliminary Plat Conditions.

PAGE 2 of 2 WILDFLOWER AT LAKE ELMO - DESIGN REVIEW REPORT LAKE ELMO, MN LANDSCAPE ARCHITECTURAL DESIGN REVIEW DATED FEBRUARY 14", 2015 REVIEWED PLAN SET DATED FEBRUARY 4m, 2015 Per our review the Landscape Plan is NOT in compliance with the City's planting requirements. Required Action Items by Wildflower at Lake Elmo Project Team 1. Tree placement needs to be more accurately considered and represented throughout the plan. In some cases trees are represented on sidewalks and streets or too close to hardscape elements. 2. Street trees need to be at least 5 feet from back of curb, In areas where the boulevard does not allow this because of sidewalk or trail placement as noted on Sheet Li please redesign to accommodate required trees. 3. Please provide an analysis of street tree plantings in relationship to proposed residential utility connections with appropriate setbacks from both utility service connections and driveways. It appears that once this exercise is completed some of the proposed street trees as currently represented will have to be relocated and / or an adjustment of the lot width may need to take place to facilitate the incorporation of the required trees in the streetscape corridor. 4. When determining landscape requirements and trees required per street frontage please recalculate to include street frontage on Hwy 5 and Lake Elmo Avenue North as well in addition to the new proposed streets. 5. Trees are to have a two year warranty. 6. Please add note lo plan sheets: All trees to be field staked prior to installation. Contractor to coordinate field review of proposed tree locations with the city and project landscape architect prior to any tree installation. 7. Correct conversion for multi -stem trees to 2.5 inch B& B is 12 foot height. 8. Per plant schedule the specified River Birch/Betula nigra 'Heritageis incorrectly spelled / noted. Should read: Heritage River Birch / Betula nigra 'Cully' 9. Minimum size for ornamental trees is 2" Caliper per Table 6-1. Minimum Size Standards for Landscape Materials within the City's landscape requirements. 10. Please provide more diversify of all plantings - overstory trees, evergreen trees and ornamental trees. For example specify more than one type of evergreen on the entire project. Perhaps focusing on pollinator friendly choices would work nicely with the overall theme of the development. 211 Black Hills Spruce is not acceptable as the only evergreen specified, 2350 BAYLESS PLACE• ST. PAUL. MN • 55114 PHONE: 651.646.1020 • EMAIL: STEPHEN@_ANDARCINC.COM tel)rulti) 15, 2015 52 PrairieFire Crab is too many of one type of Crab, try to limit the use of Honey Locust as it provides filtered light at best as a street tree, etc. as a few examples. 11. Please provide design sections for all berms / landscape screening suggested representing all typical planting arrangements with species specified and represented to scale at time of installation. When planting berms please consider planting side slopes verses simply planting the top as it is currently suggested. Plants are much happier when not placed on the highest, driest and windiest part of the berm. 12. Please provide design drawings for all signage and way finding elements. 13. Please provide us with an understory planting plan for the entire development. This includes all shrub & perennial beds, infiltration basins, raingardens as well as native seeding and turf sodding areas. 14. We request more information as it relates to the tree preservation plan to make a determination if tree replacement is in fact required. 15. We would like your design team to rethink the layout of the plantings within the HOA outlots M, 0 & P. It appears the layout is not very well developed. The absence of street tree plantings is noted and should be addressed. The observation is that the tree layout suggested simply occupies the green space rather than utilizing trees to reinforce or create space which would be our preference. 16. Correctly label Lake Elmo Avenue North on the western edge of the property. Currently it is labeled Lake Elmo Drive North. 17. We request information on soil preparation and planting specifications for all plantings/seeding. 18. Provide landscape irrigation plans for our review for all commonly held HOA & City Outlots / R.O.W. areas. 19. We recommend you provide a three year maintenance plan for all landscape materials/areas within all commonly held HOA & City Outlot / R.0.W areas. SINCERELY, LANDSCAPE ARCHITECTURE, INC.

Wetland Aand Krueger Property The drainage area toWetland A(see Figure 3)was reduced with development. Within the Village Preserve site, 0.6 acres of the pedeve|oped 1.6'acne drainage area was diverted from flowing north into Wetland A. Runoff from the remaining 1 acre (38% impervious) in the northwest corner of Village Preserve drains to an infiltration basin with a capacity of 36,800 cubic feet (Infiltration Basin 1, see Figure 3). Soils investigations prior to construction of this basin indicated infiltration rates exceeded 20 inches per hour. It was expected to drain dry within 48 hours of rainstorms with an infiltration rate of at least 2 inches per hour. Basin overflows were anticipated only during storms significantly greater than the l0O'year24'hourdesign storm (7.3 inches). During site visits in late August and September, Infiltration Basin 1 was found full of water. There were also signs that it had discharged to the north along Lake Elmo Avenue and into Wetland A. The water level in the basin on October 18, 2016i was approximately foot below the overflow (see the following photo, where the orange cone isthe ovor0ow). Therefore, this basin isnot infiltrating asdesigned. As noted above, it should drain dry within 48 hours ofa rainstorm and should not discharge.

Figure shows a close-up view of Wetland Aand the Krueger property. Wetland Hand G Wetland H and G (see Figure 3) receive runoff from the Arbor Glen Senior Living Facility and Village Preserve sites. Before development, runoff from the Arbor Glen Senior Living Facility and Village Preserve generally drained southeast and eventually to Downs Lake. Once complete, part of the Arbor Glen Senior Living site and all of the Village Preserve site will drain north to the Goetschel Pond watershed. The V8VVDaUowed this diversion because soils investigations and computer modeling showed that the diversion would not increase the IOO'yoarflood level of the local lowlands orGoetsche| Pond. Figures 5 and 6 show the pre- and post -development drainage areas. Runoff diverted from the Downs Lake watershed into the Goetschel Pond watershed drains through a series ofs<ormwater management features before reaching the lowlands southwest ofGoetsche| Pond. Runoff from the Arbor Glen Senior Living site will drain to a biofiltration basin and then to the Village Preserve wet pond at the southwest corner ufthat subdivision, Runoff from Village Preserve generally flows inacounterclockwise pattern through wet ponds before reaching a large infiltration basin (Infiltration Basin 2) in the north -central portion of the site. Soils investigations prior to construction indicated infiltration rates at this basin exceeded 20 inches per hour. U was expected to drain dry within 48 hours of rainstorms with infiltration rates ofatleast 4 inches per hour. Basin overflows were anticipated only during storms significantly greater than the 10-year 24-hour design storm (4.17 inches), During site visits in late August and September, the infiltration basin was found full of water and discharging to the north (Wetland H.see Figure 6j Therefore, Infiltration Basin Z|snot functioning asdesigned. )( the basin were functioning properly, Wetiand H and downstream wetlands on the Wildflower at Lake Elmo site vvoo|d receive less runoff than they did this summer.

According to him, the basin was functioning well in the early part cd2OI5 and he expects that it will function again once cleaned out Neither the City nor the VBVVDwill release surety ifitdoes not. Wetland F Wetland F (and Veronica's Pond) is downstream of area developments and associated stormwater management facilities under construction. While the current water level inthe wetland appears tobe approximately Elevation 904, 11 feet below the 1%-probability flood level, it is higher than typical. As previously described, several 8-inch-diameter and smaller oak trees, which are not flood -resistant, are in standing water, The high water level is likely because: ° 20I6has been anextremely wet year. During the warm seasons ofthe last 6Oyears, only 2O02. l99ll99I'l986'and I978were aswet, w Infiltration Basin 2 on the Village Preserve site discharged water that eventually reached Wetland F. Itwas designed to discharge only in extreme events; otherwise, no water should discharge to the Wildflower at Lake Elmo site. * Infiltration Basin 300 on the Wildflower at Lake Elmo site was not constructed to store as much runoff as planned and could have sent more runoff downstream and eventually to Wetland F. ° Infiltration Basin 200 on the Wildflower at Lake Elmo site is not draining dry within 48 hours and is sending more runoff downstream. Needed Actions atDhonnwoharManagement Facilities The developer's engineer for the Wildflower at Lake Elmo site submitted as -built drawings, Theas'bui|ts show the grading and constructed infrastructure are generally with the appropriate tolerances with two exceptions: (1) the outlet for Infiltration Basin 300 was constructed 0.6 feet lower than planned, and (2) the bottom of Infiltration Basin 300 was constructed 8,1 foot lower than planned. Therefore, less volume is being stored inthe basin. This should becorrected oradditional volume control needs tobeprovided. Drainage patterns appear consistent with the as -built drawings and orginal plans, but Wetland G is overflowing into the Wet Pond, rather than Infiltration Basin 200. Aspreviously noted, the infiltration basins onthe Village Preserve site are not infiltrating, The developer said they will becleaned out bythe end ofOctober 2OI6. On the Wildflower at Lake Elmo site, erosion problems should be conected, builders should be more diligent about installing and maintaining erosion controls, and vegetation should be better established within the 0oodp|ain. To: Valley Branch Watershed District Board of Managers From: John Hanson Subject: Wildflower at Lake Bmo/vmogep,esewe/rloouplainSouthwest o/noefsche/Pond Date: October l9.oO|6 pnye r Conclusions Hig her -than -normal precipitation coupled with non-functioning infiltration basins have created abnormally high water levels inWetland F. Wetland A, which backs upwater onto the Krueger property, also has high water levels. While an infiltration basin draining to the wetland is not functioning properly, the high water levels in Wetland A are due to higher -than -normal precipitation. The IOU'yearf|ood level of Wetland A, both before and after development, is Elevation 916.9, which appears to be just below the elevation ofanoutbuilding oothe Krueger'sproperty, The developer of the Village Preserve project has committed to cleaning the non-functioning infiltration basins onthe site. The developer of the Wildflower at Lake Elmo site will be informed that infiltration Basin 200 is not functioning as designed and Infiltration Basin 300 was not constructed as designed and that corrective actions are needed. Erosion issues also need tobeaddressed onthe Wildflower atLake Elmo site and vegetation needs tubebetter established.

A draft of the EAW was prepared by the developer and accepted by the City for advertisement with the Environmental Quality Board on October 24, 2016. The advertisement triggered a 30 day comment period. To keep the City Council informed, Staff has provided the Council with this memorandum the comments received by the public and government agencies during the 30 day comment period which ended on November 23, 2016. The City has 30 days in which to respond to the comments received and to determine whether a more involved Environmental Impact Statement is required. It is anticipated that the response to the comments will be drafted and reviewed by City Staff for the City Council at its December 20, 2016 meeting. If there are any delays in the ability to respond, the City may postpone its decision to gather critical missing information for up to 30 days or a longer period if agreed to by the developer; the decision must be documented in written record of decision. The EAW has no impact on the comprehensive plan amendment, but does need to be approved by the City Council prior to approving the preliminary plat for the development. RECOMMENDATION: There is no recommendation. This item is for informational purposes only.

The zone is currently forecasted to gain +36 households during the period from 20 I 0-20z10. Council staff recommend adding +250 households, +700 population to the TAZ #2403 forecast. Balancing adjustments can be made to the TAZs elsewhere in the community. The City can update the TAZ forecast through correspondence with Metropolitan Council staff. Council staff opinion is that the proposed development firs within the community total forecast prepared by the Council' no change is needed to the community total forecast.

The Project consists of the preparation of 222 acres of land for residential development, Regarding matters for which the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency (MP[A) has regulatory responsibility and other interests, the MPCA staff has the following comments for your consideration. Permits and Ann,ova Required (Item 8) The table in this section of the EAW does not include the MPCA 401 Water Quality Certification, Water Resources (Item ill * Specihcin'vvater best management practices such as silt curtain, construction during low flow or winter conditions, cofferdam, or check'danns,etc. should be included in the EAVV.

Wetland evaluation isonacase-by-case basis. /tappears that the golf course will continue touse groundwater for potable, irrigadnn,h,e protection, and maintenance use. It is important to note that the location of this development lies within known areas o[aquifer contamination. The development overlies a perOuo,ochemica| groundwater plume that has impacted groundwater quality in each of the primary drinking water aquifers present. Recent groundwater monitoring 'in the area of Horseshoe Lake has indicated the presence of perfluorochemicals at levels in excess of U.S, Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) health advisory levels. Less than I mile to the north and east of the development lies the Trichloroethene (TCE) groundwater plume associated with the Baytown Township Groundwater Plume Site, The TCE plume has impacted groundwater quality in each of the primary drinking water aquifers present, Mr, Stephen VVenonan Page November 23,%U16 Care should beexercised when using groundwater inthis region for potable and irrigation purposes. The EPA recently issued significantly lower health advisory levels for several perfluorinated substances. Because the specific configuration of the groundwater plumes in the area are not well understood and likely vary over time, it is not possible to accurately predict whether a well that has been clear of contamination in the past will remain clear of contamination |nthe future. Lake Elmo, Horseshoe Lake, several small drainage ponds, and ditches within the golf course area and further downstream have been shown to be contaminated with perfluorochernicals at levels in excess of EPA health advisory levels. Care should be exercised when using surface water from these areas for irrigation purposes soasto minimize the potential for human and environmental exposure tothese contaminants. Contamination/Hazardous Materials/Wastes (item 22) This section refers to a natural gas pipeline that runs across part of the site, The Project proposer should contact the Office of Pipeline Safety to determine the appropriate setbacks for this structure, The Investigation History refers toa "Pnssib)eon'si1e disposal area that was later confirmed to be located onthe adjoining property tothe southeast—" This disposal area isnot identified onany maps.

Assuming that this is an oversight, the results do indicate that there are a number of perfluorochernicals present in the samples. However, the regulatory limits referred to are no longer current. The EPA issued revised drinking water criteria in2Ol6. The EAVVdoes not discuss how soil contaminated with materials other than agricultural chemicals will be handled. The IVIPCA recommends that the site be entered into the IVIPCA Brownfield Program (formerly called the Voluntary Investigation and Cleanup Program) in order to provide regulatory oversight with regard to non-agricultural related contamination issues. Accidental spills or releases from on'siteequipment, buried rubble, municipal solid waste, buried demolition waste, etc. are situations regulated by the IVIPCA. The Brownfield Program provides technical assistance and issuance of various liability assurance letters to promote the investigation, cleanup, and redevelopment of property that is contaminated with petroleum and/or hazardous substances.

The mission of MDH is to protect, maintain, and improve the health of all Minnesotans. The careful planning and development of projects such as this one supports this mission and is an important step in ensuring health in all policies. MDH does have several comments regarding groundwater, water quality, and soil contamination at and near the site: Section 10 —"Geology: Although no sinkholes have been identified on the project property, the Minnesota Geological Survey (MGS) karst inventory does map one sinkhole less than one mile northeast of the project property, just north of the intersection of Manning Avenue and 27th St. N. (UTM coordinates 510846/4981836). Depth to carbonate bedrock is an important factor in the potential for karst development, with that potential increasing significantly where depths are less than 50 feet (Alexander, et al. , 2003, "Sinkholes, Sinkhole Probability, and Springs and Seeps", Goodhue County Atlas, County Atlas Series, Atlas C-12, Part B, Plate 10). Well logs near the east property boundary of the project area indicate depth to bedrock is approximately 47-59 ft. (unique well numbers: 442166, 447252, 431201, and 503306). Two infiltration areas and two stormwater ponds are planned near the northeast corner of the project property (as shown on Figure 7). Consideration should be given to potential karst development beneath these infiltration areas and whether any mitigation measures are needed, particularly given the proximity of these areas to planned home Construction, Section 11 — "Water Resources" The groundwater discussion should include more information regarding the perfluorochemical (PFC) contamination in the groundwater in this area. Groundwater has been impacted by PFCs from the former Washington County Landfill and 3M-Oakdale Disposal Site. Due to groundwater flow, surface water -groundwater interactions, and storinwater management activities, the groundwater east of Lake Elmo has been impacted by PFCs emerging from these disposal areas. Recent MDH sampling has detected PFCs at concentrations above the new Environmental An equal opportunity employer Stephen Wensman The Royal Golf Club Residential Development Page 2 November 23rd, 2016 Protection Agency (EPA) Lifetime Health Advisory levels of 70 parts per trillion for PFOS and PFOA in the surface water in Lake Elmo, the unnamed creek that discharges from Lake Elmo onto the project property, Horseshoe Lake, and the series of ditches and stormwater ponds further downstream. Surface water ponds on the property that are part of the Project 1007 drainage system are almost certain to be similarly impacted. The full extent and distribution of PFCs in this portion of Lake Elmo are still being determined. Use of surface water or groundwater at the project site should be carefully managed to avoid human exposure and prevent further spreading of the contamination. MDH further recommends landscaping options be implemented to create significant buffers in order to restrict public access to Horseshoe Lake. Preliminary data suggests PFC contamination is primarily in the Prairie du Chien aquifer (OPDC), but excessive use of Jordan aquifer (CJDN) wells may cause downward migration of the contamination, potentially placing downgradient CJDN wells at risk. MDH recommends the project proposer work with MDR, MPCA, and DNR to evaluate water quality in the existing wells and surface waters on the project property and determine appropriate use of these to mitigate for these potential impacts. Section 12 — "Contamination/Hazardous Materials/Wastes" The sub -section titled "Investigation History" indicates a "disposal area" is located on an adjoining property to the southeast. The location is not shown on any figures and no information is provided regarding this disposal area and its proximity to the project property. The sub -section titled "Response Action Plan" indicates that contaminated soils excavated at the site are to be managed in a "Regulated Soil Management Area" beneath a 2 ft. cover. The figure shown in the Phase II Investigation Report (Appendix D) indicates the area proposed for this management area has a significant slope and may be prone to erosion. MDH assumes MPCA will be consulted in the design and construction of this facility to ensure it provides long-term encapsulation of these soils to prevent exposures. The sub -section titled "PFCs and Area Groundwater Contamination" (page 27) should be revised to reflect that PFCs above levels of health concern are present in the groundwater in this part of Lake Elmo. Although the concentrations detected in the CJDN wells on the property do not exceed levels of health concern, as noted above continued extraction of water from the CJDN may result in increased PFCs in this aquifer over time. Appendix D — Table 3 Although the table correctly identifies the current MDH Health Risk Limits for PFOS, PFOA, PFBA, and PFBS, it should be noted that MDH now uses the new EPA health advisory levels of 70 ng/L for PFOS and PFOA when evaluating health risks. Health starts where we live, learn, work, and play. To create and maintain healthy Minnesota communities, we have to think in terms of health in all policies.

Lake Ehno, MN 55042 MINNESOTA DEPARTMENT OF NATURAL RESOURCES CENTRAL REGION 1200 WARNER ROAD SAINT PAUL, MN 55106 651-259-5800 Transmitted electronically RE: The Royal Golf Club Residential Development EAW Dear Stephen Wensman, The Minnesota Department of Natural Resources (MNDNR) has reviewed the Environmental Assessment Worksheet (EAW) for the Royal Golf Club Residential Development EAW. General Comments To date, MNDNR has provided formal comments on the concept PUD to the City of Lake Elmo and informal comments to the developer on the PUD density analysis. These comments have been based on the assumption that the PUD will have City water and sewer. MNDNR will fon-nally review the preliminary PUD and plat when these are submitted to the City, to determine if they meet the PUD provisions in State shoreland rules. MNDNR review of shoreland PUDs looks for consistency with the density allowances, setbacks, and height as well as a variety of more subjective perfon-nance standards dealing with protection of vegetation and sensitive slopes. While we look for compliance with the numerical standards, we recognize that good environmental design cannot be reduced to compliance with a set of numbers. The shoreland PUD standards were part of the 1989 State shoreland rules and were an early fonn of conservation design regulations. A lot has been learned about conservation design since 1989 and many communities in Minnesota have adopted different shoreland PUD standards to limit density, ensure better natural resource/open space protection, and provide for greater alignment with the community's vision. MNDNR has concerns on the design of the Royal Golf Club Residential PUD because the proposed development is too dense for the natural resources on the site. In making this evaluation, MNDNR is considering overall project suitability by looking at how the design impacts the existing natural environment on the site. From our perspective, a development is not suitable if it is consuming areas of high quality vegetation and areas with slopes greater than 12 percent (which IvINDNR considers steep slopes). Ultitnately, however, it is up to the City of Lake Elmo to evaluate project suitability, natural resource protections, and transportation concerns associated with this proposal. Specific Comments • Page 3 - Rewrite the statement on page 3 so that it does not imply that the City has determined that this project meets shoreland overlay district requirements. At this stage of the PUD process, it is premature to state that the proposed project design complies with shoreland overlay district requirements.

MINNESOTA DEPARTMENT OF NATURAL RESOURCES CENTRAL REGION 1200 WARNER ROAD SAINT PAUL, MN 55106 651-259-5800 MNDNR fully evaluated whether the development plans are in conformance with City ordinances and State shoreland rules. Page 3 states that this project minimizes effects on floodplains. However, page 10, states that there will be about 15.6 acre-feet of till in the flood fringe to accommodate 15 residential lots and streets. The statement on page 3 is misleading since there will be significant changes to the existing floodplain configuration. What layout design modifications could be made to avoid the need for floodplain till and rerouting of flood waters into storage ponds? How will floodplain storage outside of the PUD boundary be managed (i.e., who will own and maintain these storage ponds)? Pave 3 — Please correct the MNDNR PWI # for the unnamed public water wetland from 82-117W to 82-417W. The MNDNR ID # for the unnamed public watercourse is M-050-009-001. Page 8 states that the City's ordinance requires only two conditions to be met to allow for PUDs (the City's PUD ordinance and the State shoreland PUD rules). PUDs, by their very nature, are a negotiation between the local government and the proposer. The City, through the PUD process, can require additional conditions in exchange for the increased density that is allowed under a PUD. Through the PUD process and negotiations with the developer, the City can also exert influence on how a property is developed and what the design of that development looks like. For example, the City can require greater tree preservation, slope/erosion protection, interconnectivity, conservation easements, or other environmental or public benefits. Page 9 and Appendix A - Please update the shoreland PUD suitable area, open space, and density calculations (Tables 5 and 6 and Appendix A) to match those numbers provided in analyses completed after the submittal of the EAW. Include with this analysis a map showing areas suitable for development and those areas not suitable for development and their acreages. Also include with this analysis a map showing areas of open space and those areas not included in open space and their acreages. • Page 11 states that the proposed project is compatible with surrounding land uses. Describe in more detail in what ways the PUD's design plan is compatible with surrounding land uses. Please provide more detail on the preservation of forest buffers and how they provide compatibility with surrounding land uses. Has this proposal considered ways to preserve existing forest areas to allow for plant and wildlife preservation? • Figure 7— Please show the location of steep slopes on Figure 7, to help the reader determine the location of proposed lots, structures, and roads in relation to steep topographic areas. • Has a tree preservation and replacement plan been prepared for this proposed development that meets City ordinance?

AN EQUAL OPPORTUNITY EMPLOYER. November 11, 2016 Mr. Stephen Wensman Planning Director City of Lake Elmo 3800 Laverne Avenue North Lake Elrno, MN 55042 Re: The Royal Golf Club Residential Development (EAW) Dear Mr. Wensman: Thank you for submitting a copy of the Environmental Assessment Worksheet (EAW) for the proposed The Royal Golf Club Residential Development. The proposed project is located within the Valley Branch Watershed District (VBWD). I offer the following comments on behalf of the VBWD. The numbers correspond to the numbers in the EAW. 9. Land Use Descriptions a.ii Plans (Page 6): While the site does not lie within a Minnesota Department of Natural Resources planned conservation corridor, the site is within an existing, somewhat connected, natural greenway corridor, as shown on Figure 20 of VBWD's March 2013 Results of Minnesota Routine Assessment Method (MNRAM) for Evaluating Wetland Function (attached). a.iii Zoning, Floodplains (Pages 9-11): The VBWD recently completed more detailed modeling of the Downs Lake watershed that used current climate and topographic data. The modeling results and statistical analysis found the 1%-annual-chance (100-year) flood level of Downs Lake to be Elevation 893.8. The VBWD will regulate to this flood level instead of the FEMA base flood elevation of 893.0. VBWD Rule 5, Standard 3, limits fill in lakes, ponds, and storage sites so that the cumulative effect of all possible filling will not raise the 100-year flood level more than 0.1 foot. Flood - storage replacement is allowed to conform to this VBWD rule, but wetlands should not be filled or drained to provide the flood -storage replacement. Structures will need to have their minimum floor elevations at least 2 feet higher than the adjacent water bodies' VBWD-adopted 100-year flood level, as required in VBWD Rule 5, Standard 2. Easements covering all portions of the property that lie below the 100-year flood elevation of lakes, wetlands, ponds, lowlands, and streams will need to be dedicated to the VBWD, as required in VBWD Rule 5, Standard 3. DAVID BUCHECK • LINCOLN FETCHER • JILL LUCAS • EDWARD MARCHAN • ANTHONY HAIDER VALLEY BRANCH WATERSHED DISTRICT • P.O. BOX 838 • LAKE ELMO, MINNESOTA 55042-0538 voivw vbvid org Mr. Stephen Wensman November II, 2016 Page 2 Based on Figure 7 of the EAW, it's unclear if the proposed fill below the Down's Lake 100- year flood level is being mitigated accurately and if the proposed homes will have minimum floor elevations that are in compliance to VBWD rules, Compatibility 9.b and 9.c. As noted in the EAW, the site is currently zoned for public and quasi -public open space, rather than residential use. Much of the adjacent land is either open parkland or used for residential housing with lots of at least 1 acre. The proposal is to create lots 0.4 to 0.75 acres. The EAW states that the project is designed to preserve considerable forested buffers adjacent to roadways. This will help hide the more densely developed lots from the existing, adjacent land, but the conversion of forest to impervious surface will significantly change the character of the arca and decrease the natural habitat of the existing wildlife corridor. Additional mitigation measures should be identified, evaluated, and implemented, including but not limited to increasing the width of the corridor between Lake Elmo and the golf courses and configuring the lots to preserve trees and other natural features. 11. Water Resources Description a.i Surface Water (pages 13-15) This section of the EAW does not mention the VBWD's Project 1007 system that runs through the site. Project 1007 directs outflows from the northern two-thirds of the VBWD south and east to a storm sewer pipe along Interstate 94, which ultimately discharges to the impaired Wild and Scenic St. Croix River. Approximately 20 square miles drains through this site. Maintaining this conveyance through the site is critical. Project 1007 is mentioned in the Stormwater section of the EAW on page 18. Effects b.3.ii Stormwater (pages 17-20) Without seeing details, no determination can be made on the adequacy of the size and location of stormwater management facilities (ponds and infiltration areas) shown on Figure 7. Based on the concepts shown on the figure, additional infiltration areas will be needed to treat runoff from all impervious surfaces. For example, no stormwater management facility is shown near Rose Lake, and it's unlikely that the entire site will be graded or equipped with storm sewer pipes to convey the runoff to the proposed tiny infiltration area shown near the Lake Elmo outlet channel. However, as noted in the EAW, a VBWD permit will he required and the project will be reviewed for conformance to the VBWD rules and regulations when a pennit application is submitted. The VBWD will need to have unlimited access to all stonnwater management facilities. The facilities depicted at the northeast corner of the site are shown on the golf course rather than in the residential subdivision. This could be problematic. The project shows several cul-de-sacs. The VBWD encourages the developer to work with the City of Lake Elmo to limit the amount of impervious surface for streets and cul- de-sacs. Please see the attached factsheets. Reducing the amount of impervious surface will reduce the construction cost to the developer, reduce the maintenance cost to the City, and reduce the size of stormwater management facilities to construct and maintain. b.3.iv.a Wetlands (page 21) As noted in the EAW, a VBWD permit will be required and the projcct will be reviewed for conformance to the VBWD rules and regulations when a permit application is submitted. Mr. Stephen Wensntan November 11, 2016 Page 3 Thank you for the opportunity to comment on the EAW. As the EAW indicates, a VBWD permit will be required for the project. VBWD will review the project plans for conformance to the VBWD rules and regulations when a permit application is submitted. The items identified in this letter arc meant to identify potential issues and assist the project designers in protecting the water resources of the area.

Many residential streets are wider than necessary. They should be designed with the minimum pavement width that will support the area's traffic volume; on -street parking needs; and emergency, maintenance, and service vehicles. For example, consider creating one parking lane rather than two for suburban residential streets. In new subdivisions, reduce impervious surface by reducing the total length of residential streets. (See Open Space Subdivision Design.) Encourage stormwater infiltration through the use of curbless road designs and overland drainage conveyance systems. On low -traffic streets, narrow the pavement and allow grass shoulders to function as an occasional parking lane.

Benefits • Reducing impervious surface results in less stormwater runoff and less infrastructure to accommodate it. • Less pavement means lower costs for development and maintenance. • Narrower streets discourage fast driving speeds and create a more pedestrian -friendly environment. Design Guidelines • Design residential streets with the minimum pavement width necessary to support: the traffic volume; on - street parking needs; and emergency, maintenance, and service vehicles. 22 Alternative Stormwater Best Management Practices Guidebook Valley Branch Watershed District Site Design to Reduce Stormwater Runoff Cu1-de-Sac Jesign Reducing the size or changing the shape of cul-de- sacs can reduce the amount of impervious surface in subdivisions. Cul-de-sacs should be designed using the minimum radius that accomodates turning of emergency, service, and maintenance vehicles. Changing the radius from 40 feet to 30 feet can reduce the impervious coverage by about 50% (Schueler 1995). Cul-de-sac infiltration island accepts stornnvater from Using turnaround options such as a T-shape can Surrounding pavement. also greatly reduce impervious surface. A landscaped island in the center of the cul-de-sac removes impervious surface where driving does not occur. This island can also be designed as a depression to accept stormwater runoff from the surrounding pavement. A flat apron curb will stabilize roadway pavement and allow for runoff to flow from pavement into the cul-de- sac's open center.

Reducing stormwater runoff protects downstream water bodies. Less paved surface also means lower development and mainte- nance costs. • Reducing pavement lessens the urban heat island effect, the increase in air temperature that can occur when highly developed areas are exposed to the sun. • Planted cul-de-sac islands are more attractive than wide expanses of pavement. Design Guidelines • Design cul-de-sacs with a radius of 39 feet or less. • Include an unpaved, depressed island with a minimum radius of 20 feet.

Traffic noise from adjacent highways could exceed noise standards established by the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency (MPCA), the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development, and the U,S, Department of Transportation. Minnesota Rule 7030.0030 states that municipalities are responsible for taking all reasonable measures to prevent land use activities listed inthe MPCA's Noise Area Classification (NAC)where the establishment of the land use would result in violations of established noise standards.

The developer should assess the noise situation and take any action outside of County right of way deemed necessary to minimize the impact of any highway noise. Section 10.Transportation The County agrees with the purpose of the Traffic Impact Study (TIS) dated October 12, 2016 to determine if improvements are needed to nearby intersections that may be impacted by traffic from the built out development. The objectives Vfthe study included the following: • Document how the study intersections currently operate. • Forecast the amount oftraffic expected tobegenerated bvthe proposed development. • Determine how the study intersections will operate inthe year ZO]U with nodevelopment traffic. • Determine how the study intersections will operate inthe year 2O30 with development traffic. • Determine how the surrounding roadways will operate in the year 2O30with the proposed Development • Recommend improvements, ifneeded. There was also agreement with the study intersections surrounding the site which included the following: l.

We accept the conclusion that this development will not require or drive the need for additional traffic control or infrastructure improvements atthis intersection. It should be noted that there are no improvements programmed in the County's 5 Year CIP for this intersection. There should be further conversations with the county on the current status of the identified Regional Trail Corridor (Washington County Comprehensive Man 2030) a|ongCSAH 17/Lake Elmo Avenue. The County will be starting planning efforts, which include community outreach and engagement, for this segment of the Central Greenway Trail Master Plan. |tisexpected this process will begin in2O17. Additionally, this corridor will boevaluated aspart ofthe Washington County Comprehensive Plan 3U4Dplanning process. It is noted that in the traffic analysis provided to the county, the future club house/banquet facility and the commercial public use golf course traffic was not included. A»aresult, the traffic study underestimates the total traffic impacts of this development, While it is true that the existing traffic volumes account for a portion of this, we understand the goal of the developer is to increase use, and thus traffic impacts, of the club house / banquet site. Please clarify how you will incorporate this expected increase in use into the traffic study. If the comments in this letter are addressed in the EAW, the county does not feel the need for the preparation ofanEnvironmental Impact Statement for the planned project; hovvever, future studies, environmental documentation, and mitigation measures will need to be addressed asdevelopment occurs |nthe area.

My first concern is that the commercial aspect of the development, the golf course, club house, storage area, sport complex, and driving range were not part of the study. These commercial aspects of the development will add to the traffic, congestion, water runoff, and have a strong environmental impact onthe area. 0npage 3it states "Traffic generated by the project will have little to no impact on the regional transportation system. Intersections surrounding the site will continue tooperate atacceptable levels ofsemiceviththetraf0cgenemtedbytheproposedpnoject."ThisisfoUmmedup|atermnpage35bya traffic study that was completed in July, 2016, when the golf course, driving range, club house, sport complex, and storage building were closed and the streets to the east and west, Lake Elmo Avenue and Manning Avenue, were under construction and school was not in session. I disagree with the Traffic Impact Study conclusion that the proposed project will have minimal effects on adjacent public roads and that nearby intersections will continue to operate at an overall Level of Service (LOS) A. A proper study needs tnbecompleted, The study continues on page 35 to say "These residential development is expected to generate a total of 2,780 average daily trips, including 1,390 vehicles entering the site and 1,390 vehicles exiting the site. It continuesmlth''Thecomp|etedeve|opmentmna|yzedindudedan1D'ho|eDo|fc000evwith293dng|e family home land parcels. Based on this layout, the resulting new traffic associated with the proposed development is expected to be 1,717 vehicles entering and 1,717 vehicles exiting the development per day (total daily trip generation of 3,434 vehicles)." There is a difference in traffic if the commercial aspects are included in the study and they should be as they will be part of the traffic, Also in the traffic discussion it appears they are unsure what roads the traffic will use and which traffic <ocount, |twould also begood todetermine if the entire area will bedeveloped atthis time asthis will impact the traffic count. "There is another potential access onto Manning Trail N for the proposed residential component. This future access will depend upon development of the adjacent property and isnot included inthis traffic analysis. It should be noted that the proposed site driveways do not provide access to the entire development as each access only services a portion of the overall site, This results in traffic that does not mix within the site, and depending onwhere the driver's origin and destination, will determine which access touse. Page 8 states "The City's ordinance also requires that shoreland PUDs be connected to public water and sewersystems,andthat|eastSO%ofthoshone|andareabemaintainedasopenspace.^Thisistrue, however only that land within 1000 feet of a shoreland is zoned this way and needs to be connected to public sewer, the remainder ofthe land could use septic systems. |nfact, depending onthe placement of the lots nohome would need touse public sewer. Page 10states "The project isproposing toplace about 14.Oacre-feet offill inthe flood fringe ofDowns Lake to elevate an area for construction of15 residential lots and adjoining streets. Construction of municipal street around the east side nfLake Rose will require about 1.6acre-feet offill inthe flood fringe of Lake Rose." We want to make sure proper authorities are committed to supervising this activity as streets and 15 homes could be flooded if not completed correctly, This area has been flooded in the past. |tbunfortunate the developer isnot listening tothe land and building outside ofaf|nodp|ain. Page 11 states "The proposed project is compatible with the proposed land use, zoning, and surrounding land uses. The project is designed to preserve considerable forested buffers adjacent to surrounding roadways. These vegetated buffers will enhance the compatibility of the project with nearby land uses and help preserve the forested character ofthe a/ea."|tis true this may becompatible with land use, but certainly not with density of the surrounding homes, The current surrounding lots are about one acre and go up to almost 50 acres per household, the proposed lots start at 0.4 acre and go up to .75 acre per household. The conversion of forest to impervious surface will significantly change the character of the area and decrease the natural habitat of the existing wildlife corridor, Also on page 32 it states: "buckthorn may be left in the understory along exterior roadways to provide visual screening." I don't believe an invasive species is considered a "forested buffer" and will not enhance the project. Page 13 describes the "Grading operations for residential development construction are expected to affect 137.5 acres and involve movement of about 750,000 to 1 million cubic yards of soil to construct streets, residential building pads, and stormwuterponds. Grading isexpected toavoid disturbance on 84.4acres within the project aoea" |tisunfortunate somuch land has \obedisturbed, however it meansthenewiUbpconddemb/enoise.Page34directsourattentionto~Noise8enemtedby construction equipment and residential building construction will be limited primarily to daylight hours when noise levels are commonly higher than atnight.^ |fthis istrue, what provision isbeing made so the surrounding landowners are allowed their rightful peace and quiet? I would like to suggest all noise generating equipment may only be operated from 8 AM to 5 PM and only Monday to Friday. Page 16 states "The project is expected to produce normal domestic wastewater. This wastewater is expected to be typical of residential developments. The project will not include industrial wastewater production or onsite wastewater treatment." It is unfortunate the club house and other commercial aspects are not included asthere will bewastewater from them. Noestimates were given astothe amounts, Page 18 states "The net increase in impervious surface is estimated at 38.6 acres. The creation of stormwater features and the preservation of wetland buffers and other open spaces is expected to mitigate potential adverse effects from the increase in impervious surface." Again I ask for scrutiny of any permits and close supervision and of the mitigation as they are increasing the impervious area. Also, can we be assured there will be supervision of these projects overtime to make sure they are in proper working order? Will unlimited access be given to the proper authorities to all stormwater management facilities? This area has had major flooding in the past and with the addition of so much impervious surface itwill need timely reviews.

The best 8|anding'sturtle habitat includes wetland complexes |arge/than1Oac/es that are surrounded by open sandy uplands." The concern continues on Page 32 with "The project may have effects on B|anding's turtles that may occur in the area. To minimize potential adverse effects on turtles and their mobility, the project will avoid most wetlands, implement stringent sediment and erosion controls, consider the use of surmountable curbs on roadways, and consider erosion control materials constructed of organic fibers rather than plastic." I don't believe thesedeve|operswishtoe|iminotoastate'Ustedthreatenedspecies,andthereforeshouWabidebythe necessary measures to assure their survival. It is one thing to "try" and another to actually do them. They also need to avoid disturbance in type 2 and 3 wetlands, no dewatering of wetlands in the winter, and use wildlife friendly erosion control methods. Also, roads should bekept tominimum standards on widths and lanes (this reduces road kills by slowing traffic and reducing the distance turtles need to cross). Who will beoverseeing these measures and what agency will follow through tumake sure they are done? On Page 32 1 was happy to see, "To the extent practicable, tree clearing will occur between October and April, when migratory songbirds and bats are not nesting or reproducing." This is extremely important as oak wilt is prevalent in the area and we don't wish to have trees cut at the wrong time of the year. Please check with anarborist\omake sure bbsafe before cutting, However, "buckthorn may beleft in the undentoryalong exterior roadways toprovide visual screening" isnot acceptable. Buckthorn ban invasive species and difficult toremove, but tointentionally leave itwhen there are alternatives available is unacceptable in Minnesota. A certified landscape architect should oversee this aspect of the project. Page33 states, "Although the proposed project may affect some views from nearby homes' the project proponent has included design elements in the project to minimize visual effects on nearby homeowners." There are residents on all four sides of the development and all wish to have as little sight of the development aspossible. Buckthorn isnot anacceptable buffer. "The project will not involve installation of intense lights that would cause glare, nor will it include industries that would emit vapor plumes." The developer needs to follow the lighting codes of Lake Page 34states, "The project isnot expected togenerate dust o/odors atlevels considered unusual for suburban development construction practices." The surrounding area does not have dense development, the area isnot your "usual suburban deve|npment" ^Uust,odors, and noise levels are expec1edto6ed)ght|yhigherduringpnojectconstructionthanpnojectoperations" Hours ofoperation are important especially if they will be going on for 5-7 years. The health and emotional wellbeing of the surrounding homeowners should be considered and is important. I again suggest all noise generating equipment may only beoperated from DAM toSPK1and only Monday toFriday. Thank you for the opportunity to comment on the EAW.

VVebelieve this isinaccurate since the City Council has not voted to amend its current Comprehensive Plan to allow any kind ofresidential development onthis property. 2) The Traffic Impact Analysis was based ondata collected inJuly, ZOl6. VVeare concerned that this data may significantly under -represent the normal "baseline" traffic volume for the following reasons: ° Asignificant portion ofLake Elmo Avenue Nwas closed during this time due toconstruction on Lake Elmo Ave and in the Old Village area. w Local schools were not insession due tuthe Summer break. = The Tartan Park golf course was not operational during this time. The developer has indicated that they expect 3O,OOO-45,O0Orounds ofgolf annually which will generate additional traffic volume that may not have been fully reflected in the analysis. 3) We've heard recently that the City Council might opt to schedule a vote on a proposed Comprehensive Plan amendment for this land at the upcoming December 6'h Council meeting. VVehee|thatavoteonDecember6mvvou|dnotaUowvenouAhtimeforathurouOhreviem/and consideration ofthe public comments related tothis EAVV. Our understanding isthat |tis common practice by RGU's to not take any legislative action on their comprehensive plan amendments for the area under consideration prior to the completion and public review of an EAWorEIS and official action onthe pending EAVVorEIS, 4) We would like to raise the question of whether an EIS might be required or simply be prudent for this development. As you undoubtedly know, IVIN Rule 4410.4400 Subp.14 defines a set of residential housing unit thresholds which trigger the need for a mandatory EIS based on "the total number ofunits that the proposer may ultimately develop onall contiguous land owned bv the proposer or for which the proposer has an option to purchase." Unless the developer is willing to put the golf course acreage into a conservation easement in perpetuity, the total number of housing units which could eventually be built on this entire 477-acre parcel may very well eventually exceed the thresholds defined inthis rule, Our understanding isthat a development with the potential for "400 unattached units or 600 attached units ... if the project is not consistent with the adopted comprehensive plan" would require a mandatory EIS. Although our neighborhood continues to be amenable to this proposed development in concept, we remain disappointed with the proposed 292-unit housing density and we have concerns about the potential for several hundred additional homes should the golf course someday become financially unsustainable. Given the unique location and exceptional attributes of this property, coupled with the widely held local desire to preserve and protect the rural character of Lake Elmo, we feel that 'Open Space" housing densities similar to those in our neighborhood would be far preferable and more appropriate for this development.

LA K E ELM() AGENDA ITEM: SUBMITTED BY: THROUGH: REVIEWED BY: MAYOR AND COUNCIL COMMUNICATION DATE: 12/06/2016 Regular ITEM #: 18 Royal Golf Development Comprehensive Plan Amendment Ben Gozola, Consulting Senior Planner Kristina Handt, City Administrator Stephen Wensman, Planning Director Title ofltem: COMPREHENSIVE PLAN AMENDMENT: Application from HC Golf Course Development, LLC requesting approval of a comprehensive plan amendment to facilitate the proposed redevelopment of the former Tartan Park Golf Course. Summary: In late 2016, the City Council reviewed a proposed PUD Concept Plan for redevelopment of the former Tartan Park Golf Course brought forward by HC Golf Course Development, LLC. As part of that review, Council voiced support (in concept) of a comprehensive plan amendment to facilitate the proposed land use changes. This follow up application examines potential ways the plan could be changed. Three options for Council consideration resulted from the Planning Commission's deliberation on the request. Option 1 — Establishment of the Village Transition Area between the Old Village and 101' Street to the east of Lake Ehno Avenue. This was the option discussed during Concept Plan review, and was the initial option recommended by staff. Option 2 — Creation of a "Golf Course Community" land use designation. The Planning Commission requested creation of this option out of concern that Option 1 's Village Transition Area may open up the corridor for too many potential expansions of the municipal service system. If implemented, a follow up process to create a corresponding zoning district would be needed. City Council Meeting 12/6/2016 Regular Agenda Item #18 Option 3 — Establishment of a limited Village Transition Area only around the Tartan Park area proposed for development. This is the option that was ultimately recommended by the Planning Commission, The City Council is asked to review all three options, and make a determination as to which (if any) should be approved at this time. Guidance: • The City Council has its greatest level of decision making discretion when it comes to the comprehensive plan. There are no specific criteria binding Council to a certain decision. Council must review the request, and determine whether one of the proposed options is in the best interest of the City. • Each option is accompanied by a cover sheet which provides a summary of the option and things to consider. • Each option includes comments accompanying the proposed text edits to explain why the proposed changes are recommended. ATTACHMENTS: 1. Option 1 — Full Village Transition Area Creation 2. Option 2 --- Golf Course Community Land Use Designation Creation 3. Option 3 — 'Partial Village Transition Area Creation Page 2 Comprehensive Plan Amendment n Summary: Option #1 follows the directive of Council coming out of the Royal Golf Club PUD Concept Plan Review. This option would create the "Village Transition Area" in-between the old Village and 10th Street within which an extension of sewer would be considered in two scenarios: 1 Individual parcels (or a group of parcels) could request an extension of services if they had a failing septic and doing so was necessary to protect health, safety, and welfare; or an extension could also be made with the successful petition of an entire neighborhood following standard City practices. 2. Land could be DEVELOPED utilizing municipal services if (and only if) there was a minimum of 40 acres of land planned for development, at least half of said land was subject to Shoreland regulations which could be successfully met, development was completed as a PUD, and the development picked up 100% of the utility extension costs. Relation to the Proposed Royal Golf Project: This option would allow Royal Golf to move forward as a PUD much like the other single family developments that have recently been approved around the Old Village. As part of the development, the City would link the golf course and the residential areas as integral components of the overall PUD. Findings for the PUD would conclude that but for the golf course/open space, the proposed residential densities would not have been approved. Any proposal to change the use of the golf course in the future would then require an amendment to the PUD, and it would be hard for a future council to approve such an amendment when the stated foundation of the PUD /Smaintaining the golf course/open space. To strengthen things further, we would also update the future land use map (in conjunction with the PUD approval) to show the underlying Land use of the residential areas as Village Urban Low Density, and the underlying land use of the golf course remaining Public/Park. Under this Comp Plan amendment option, the VIA district on the land use map is simply a polygon that identifies where special provisions apply. The underlying land use guidances are still visible and applicable, so we will maintain the higher standard of a comp plan amendment for future golf course changes as well. Relation to other lands in the Corridor: This option proactively recognizes that the city will receive requests for municipal services from properties in the Lake Elmo Avenue corridor over time, and sets up criteria by which those requests will be judged: 1) Must be necessary to address an eminent environmental threat against the health, safety, or welfare of the community (i.e. a failing septic site with no reasonable on -site options for replacement); or 2) A neighborhood must successfully petition the City for an extension of services, and assume all costs as may be required by City policy.

Standards for building materials, building articulation, design variety and other requirements should be upheld to ensure the quality of the built environment is distinctly Lake Elmo. One of the main benefits of the official land use plan is that the long range planning objective to retain a permanent rural identity is achieved. Under the memorandum of understanding with the Metropolitan Council, a vast majority of the City will be allowed to maintain its rural character and existing land uses. Furthermore, concentrating urbanization adjacent to 1-94 and within the Old Village will result in dear boundaries between the urban and rural portions of the community. Beyond that, the City's desire to protect its sensitive park lands is also achieved. Both Lake Elmo Regional Park and Sunfish Lake Park will continue to be surrounded by agricultural lands and will not be impacted by encroaching urbanization. The curved lines separating future land uses on Map 3-3 midway between 1-94 and 10Street indicate one possible alignment of a future east/west collector roadway envisioned to serve the new development in this area of the City. Future development proposals and their associated engineering studies will ultimately determine the exact alignment of this collector roadway. The final boundary between the proposed different land uses shall ultimately be set by the final location of the east/west collector roadway, whether or not this roadway deviates from the approximate location shown. The City's Land Use Plan calls for a diverse range of development types, from very low density agricultural and rural residential uses to high density urban residential and commercial development. In order to provide for e transition between the existing and planned rural development and future urban development, the Land Use Plan creates a lower density urban residential district. This low density urban district is planned for areas near existing rural development areas, and will provide for an area of transition between higher density residential development and either existing or planned rural development areas. Certain areas designated as Public/Park on the Future Land Use Map (Map 3-3) have been established to provide a green belt/buffer between areas developed under a previous Comprehensive Plan at rural development densities and areas planned for residential development at higher densities. This green belt will be incorporated es part of any development plans for new development with a minimum width of 100 feet. The green belt may be incorporated as part of the greenway envisioned in the Lake Elmo Comprehensive Park and Recreation Plan (Chapter IX). And finally, it is recognized that land north of 1.0i" Streeti east of Lake Elnio Avenue, and south of the Oid Villaize is uniouelv situated between the Citv's two main urban centersi.

The specific zoning development standards for the City's urban residential districts will allow the platting of smaller lots that will allow open space to be set aside in each development while still achieving the overall minimum density guidance for each land use area. 1,4p1:41-1mL2rqr,12,i-and ro of The City of Lake Elmo entered into a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with the Metropolitan Council prior to the preparation of its 2005 Land Use Plan and this MOU remains in effect to ensure the City's conformance to metropolitan system statements as required by state law. This MOU has since been revised; however, to take into account a severe downturn in the housing market and to grant the City of Lake Elmo additional flexibility in meeting the population, household, and employment targets from the original MOU. Table 3-C summarizes the updated development staging plan that will be used to measure conformance to the MOU. This table is broken down into five year increments starting in 2010 and continuing forward to the end of the planning period in 2030.

Summary --- Option #Zfollows the directive of the Planning Commission following their initial review of Option #1.While the Commission was not opposed to Option #1, they expressed concern about whether or not the Village Transition concept would actually control the expansion of municipal services, so they also wished to explore the creation of a new land use category specifically drafted for this very unique and unexpected circumstance (the closing and redevelopment ofTartan Park)' The new land use district would beaccompanied byanew zoning district (not yet drafted) to govern development of the 400+ acres in and around the former Tartan Park. The zoning would provide incentives such as increased density and access to municipal sewer in return for maintaining and improving upon the golf course amenity. Relation tothe Proposed Royal Golf Project: This option would involve creation 0fatailored zoning district t]accommodate the proposed redevelopment 0f the Tartan Park Golf Course. |ncreating such adistrict, staff would establish controls (as Council may deem necessary) tOgovern future requests t0change the golf course into different land uses, Updating the [ity'» future Land Use Nap to require 3 comprehensive pi3O amendment for any such change Vv0uN add another \CVe| of protection, Relation tuother lands inthe Corridor: Lake Elmo Comprehensive Plan Chapter ill — Land Use Plan This section of the Land Use chapter establishes the City's official land use categories and the official Future Land Use Map. The map assigns planned land use types to all parcels within the community to guide current and future planning and development through the year 2030, and is the official land use designation map for the City. The assigned land use designations are intended to shape the character, type and density of future development according to sound planning principles. Any new development, redevelopment, change in land use or change in zoning is required to be consistent with the official land use guidance for each parcel. The official land use plan categories are as follows: RURAL AREA DEVELOPMENT —This category represents the large areas of rural residential development within the City. Common uses found in these areas include working farms, alternative agricultural uses as defined by City Code, and rural single family detached residences. Development in these areas requires 10+ acres, or a conditional use permit to authorize a cluster development meeting the City's Open Space Preservation regulations. Densities are allowed up to 0.45 dwelling units per buildable acre when planned as part of an Open Space Preservation development. No new areas of rural area development are being established by the official land use plan. [Corresponding Zoning District(s): A, RR, OP] RESIDENTIAL ESTATE — This category defines areas developed specifically for large lot single family detached housing typically on 2+ acres of land. No new areas of residential estate are being established by the official land use plan. [Corresponding Zoning District(s): RE] RURAL SINGLE FAMILY — This category defines a large portion of the City that was historically platted for conventional subdivision prior to 2005, but has been and will continue to be serviced by private on -site well and septic systems. Limited locations within this classification are allowed to have two-family dwellings based on zoning. [Corresponding Zoning District(s): R-1, R-2] URBAN LOW DENSITY —The Urban Low Density land use category is intended primarily for single-family detached housing serviced by public sewer and water. This category allows net residential densities from two and one-half (2.5) to four (4) units per acre. Significant new areas of urban low density are guided both within the Old Village and along1-94. [Corresponding Zoning District: LDR] URBAN MEDIUM DENSITY —The Urban Medium Density land use category allows net residential densities from four and one-half (4.5) to seven (7) units per acre; with greater densities only allowed if deemed appropriate and approved through the PUD process and that meet incentives for density bonus as allowed under the PUD ordinance This category allows for a variety of housing types including single-family detached, duplexes, townhomes, and small two- and three-story apartment buildings and/or senior living centers. Significant new areas of urban medium density are guided both within the Old Village and along 1-94. [Corresponding Zoning District(s): R-3, MDR] 111— 8 Lake Elmo Comprehensive Plan Chapter ill — Land Use Pion URBAN HIGH DENSITY— The Urban High Density land use category is intended for higher density, compact urban residential development, This category allows for a net residential density range of seven and one-half (7.5) to fifteen (15) units per acre; however zoning may allow a greater net density if approved through the PUD process. The appropriate building height will vary by development and depend upon the characteristics of the development and its surroundings. In addition to residential development, a small proportion of supportive retail and service is also appropriate in this land use category. Retail, service and office beyond those supporting the residential development would only be permitted as part of a mixed -use planned unit development. Significant new areas of urban high density are guided both within the Old Village and along 1-94. [Corresponding Zoning District(s); HDR] GOLF COURSE COMMUNITY In recognition tnaLaGralf Courseonthe land known as Tartan parkisa__, local and reRional amenity the City wishes to maintain. this specialized land useiciatbiigory has been crafted to maximize the likelihood that a eplf course can be maintained on the orooertv should a develoonient or000sal for the land come forward. Korresuonding Zoning District:kb GCCI LIMITED BUSINESS — This category defines areas within the City that are allowed to host commercial land uses at a more restricted level than would typically be allowed within a commercially guided area and in areas that are not planned for public sanitary sewer services. No new areas of limited business are being established by the official land use plan. [Corresponding Zoning District(s): LB, LC] COMMERCIAL — This category is intended to accommodate a wide range and scale of commercial uses (such as retail, service, entertainment, and office) throughout the City's planned urban centers. Commercial uses can range from small neighborhood convenience nodes, to community retail areas along major roadways, to large shopping centers, to auto -related commercial uses along freeways. Residential uses are also appropriate as part of a mixed -use commercial development where allowed, with unit densities being determined by either the identified range within the comprehensive plan or to a level deemed appropriate by a planned unit development process, Significant new areas of commercial land use are guided both within the Old Village and along1-94, [Corresponding Zoning District(s): C, CC, GB] BUSINESS PARK —The Business Park land use category is intended to encourage the creation of significant employment centers that accommodate a diverse mix of office and light industrial uses and jobs. Specific desired attributes of this land use include a diversity of jobs, high development densities and jobs per acre, high quality site and building architectural design, and increased tax revenues for the community. Office, office showroom/warehousing, research and development services, light and high- tech electronic manufacturing and assembly, and medical laboratories are typical uses appropriate for this land use category. Some retail and service uses may be allowed as supporting uses for the primary office and light industrial uses of the employment center. In addition to the Eagle Point Business Park, much of the land between Manning Ave and Keats Ave adjacent to 1-94 is guided for this land use classification. [Corresponding Zoning District(s): BP] 111 — 9 Commented [BGA1]: The new land use category of "Golf Course Community' would Ise added to the listing of land uses within the City. Here we acknowledge that the intent of the new category is to facilitate the preservation and ! enhancement of the City's Ione golf course. Lake Elmo Comprehensive Plan Chapter 111— Land Use Plan PUBLIC/PARK — This category defines lands that include publicly owned facilities, places of worship, public parks, and privately owned recreational facilities. The scale and types of uses allowable on public/park lands are controlled by the city's conditional use permit process. No new areas of public/park space are currently designated by the new land use plan, but it is recognized that such areas will be created during the development process, and the land use map will need to be updated accordingly. [Corresponding Zoning District(s): P, OSP] ROAD R.O.W.s — This category encompasses all areas dedicated specifically for use as road right-of-way. It should be noted that not all roads in Lake Elmo are on platted right-of-way, but are rather accommodated by easements over other land use categories. Accordingly, there is more land dedicated to use by roads than is depicted on the existing/planned land use table. New development will be required to dedicate right-of-way to accommodate the proposed road network. OPEN WATER —This category includes all land area in Lake Elmo covered by open water lakes and ponds as identified in the DNR Public Waters Inventory. No new areas of open water are by the official land use plan. The distribution of planned land uses on the official Future Land Use Map is shown on Map 3-3 and is summarized in Table 3-B: Within the Old Village and in areas south of 10' Street, specific areas are targeted for potential mixed - use development; however, this designation means different things in both districts. Mixed Uses within the Old The mixed use designation on property within the Old Village indicates development must adhere to the specific zoning requirements established for mixed use development within the City Code. This type of development will typically see residential, commercial, office, and/or similar uses combined in complimentary ways within the same building. south ol Streot The mixed use designation on property south of 10" Street is intended to spur development by providing maximum flexibility on future land uses, thereby allowing a development proposal to cater to existing market conditions. In the areas designated as possible mixed -use on the Future Land Use Map (Map 3-3), the City's planning process has identified that either the base land use or the adjacent land use designation would be appropriate for the site. These mixed -use areas may be zoned in accordance with the base land use category, or the adjacent land use category provided that: • Any such zoning will only be allowed if it is contiguous to property in an adjacent land use category; and The Urban Low Density Residential land use category will not allowed as an alternative land use within mixed -use areas. III — 10 Lake Elmo Comprehensive Plan Chapter III — Land Use Pion Alternatively, a combination of the uses allowed within the base land use category and future land uses adjacent to a mixed use area may be allowed through a planned unit development process. kesidenlia Density unitslaerid Land Use Mill RES!

To that end, the City has guided nearly 430 acres of land in and around the !present golf course es "Golf Course Community," This special land use guidance, IS intended lo provide incentives —such as increased residential density and access to municipal sewer — to future landowners who are willing to maintain and improve upon the golf course amenity rather than develop the land as a standard OP rural develoorrienc.

The district boundary would belimited Umthe immediate area ofTartan Park and adjacent [ands which also plan to develop (i.e. the Emerson property). This option would not require the creation of a new zoning district, but would allow the Tartan Park area to develop as a PUD similar to other lands guided for Village Urban Low Density development.The residential densities allowed by the PUD would be linked to maintaining and improving the golf course, and the PUD would need toexplicitly spell out that golf course land may only beused asopen space should ifagolf course isnot being operated. Relation tuthe Proposed Royal Golf Project: Like Option 1, this option would allow Royal Golf to move forward as a PUD much like the other single fami[y developments that have recently been approved around the Old Village. Aspart 0fthe development, the City would link the golf course and the residential areas Jsintegral components Ufthe overall PUD. Findings for the PU0would conclude that but for the golf course/open space, the proposed residential densities would not have been approved. Any proposal tOchange the use of the golf course iDthe future would then require an amendment to the PUD, and it would be hard for a future council to approve such an amendment when the stated foundation Ufthe PUD/Smaintainin0the go|f[Ou8e/0peO space. Tostrengthen things further, vvewould also update the future [and use map (in conjunction with the PUD approval) to show the underlying [and use of the residential areas as Village Urban Low Density, and the underlying land use of the golf course remaining Public/Park. Under this Comp Plan amendment option, the VIA district on the land use map is simply a polygon that identifies where special provisions apply. The underlying land use guidances are still visible and applicable, so we will maintain the higher standard of a comp plan amendment for future golf course changes as well.

The final boundary between the proposed different land uses shall ultimately be set by the final location of the east/west collector roadway, whether or not this roadway deviates from the approximate location shown, The City's Land Use Plan calls for a diverse range of development types, from very low density agricultural and rural residential uses to high density urban residential and commercial development. In order to provide for a transition between the existing and planned rural development and future urban development, the Land Use Plan creates a lower density urban residential district. This low density urban district is planned for areas near existing rural development areas, and will provide for an area of transition between higher density residential development and either existing or planned rural development areas. Certain areas designated as Public/Park on the Future Land Use Map (Map 3-3) have been established to provide a green belt/buffer between areas developed under a previous Comprehensive Plan at rural development densities and areas planned for residential development at higher densities. This green belt will be incorporated as part of any development plans for new development with a minimum width of 100 feet. The green belt may be incorporated as part of the greenway envisioned in the Lake Elmo Comprehensive Park and Recreation Plan (Chapter IX).

With the exception of Lake Elmo, lake -wide no wake restrictions are triggered when the lakes reach a specific water surface elevation as determined by the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources (MnDNR). Typically, no wake restrictions are determined based on the likelihood of shoreline damage when the lakes are elevated due to flooding. Bolton & Menk's experience understanding shoreline impacts and erosion protection will support the City of Lake Elmo with objective information to make technical and informed decisions in establishing no wake elevations. Our successful approach includes: Unbiased Data — Establishing ordinances that affect lake activities are particularly difficult in communities that have emotional connections to their lake systems. In order to reduce perceived emotional impacts, impartial and objective data is required to establish no wake elevations that are not driven by passionate lake home owners or recreationists. Comprehensive Decisions — Lake regulations impact many users beyond those that live there. Therefore, the decisions that impact no wake limitations must include environmental implications, shoreline property values, and recreational uses. Public Education — The lake users must be informed as to why these elevations are established and what the potential impacts are if these limitations are exceeded in order to fully understand their water resources. Setting the elevation is only a portion of the overall goal; education tells the rest of the story. In continued service to the City of Lake Ehno, we are excited at the opportunity to analyze no wake elevations for several critical lakes. We are flexible in our scope and fees to best suit the City's needs. I will serve as your Project Manager and lead client contact on this project. Please feel free to contact me at 651-724-0404 or timol@bolton-menk.com if you have any questions regarding our proposal. Respectfully submitted, Bolton & Menk, Inc. Timothy J. Olson, P.E., CFM Water Resources Project Manager Et.:ttc-P. Mtitrtt. ts tart fttittitlt- ttttttttttttVgVtkN5tttgNtt4ppttlpkrttlptll,tlptOlptpVgtp!!!!!E:„tt_t .......t,.tt.tttttttttttttt.xtttttttttj4tttgititttttttttttttttttttttttthtttttttttittttttttttttttVttttttgttttttttttltttttt Project Approach Project Approach The City of Lake Elmo is seeking an assessment of the current no wake restrictions on Lakes Olson, De Montreville, Jane, and Elmo and an analysis of the conditions that could potentially change those elevations. We understand that an objective approach to establishing no wake regulations is necessary to bring solidarity to already sensitive interactions between stakeholders. Restrictions to lake uses under flooding conditions begins at the local level. The City of Lake Elmo is responsible for establishing ordinances that protect the shoreline area as well as educate the general public as to why these restrictions are important. Bolton & Menk intends to provide technical support in establishing those restrictions and is available to provide additional public engagement services as directed by future goals. Below is our approach to developing a sustainable assessment of the current no wake restrictions and technical support for modifications to the minimum no wake elevations that can be supported by the community and its stakeholders. Task 1: Communication 1.1 Kick-off Meeting A kick-off meeting will be scheduled immediately after Notice -to -Proceed. The meeting will include the following: • Introduce key City staff to key consulting staif developing the plan • Establish communication protocols associated with the various aspects of the plan. • Formulate a mutually acceptable milestone schedule • Develop cooperation to share available lake information and practical field experience 1.2 Project Milestone Meetings We anticipate up to two additional meetings with City staff at key milestones to ensure project tasks are completed to best meet your needs. Consistent communication between team members will ensure project budgets match the required deliverables. 1.3 Stakeholder Meetings Bolton & Menk will attend one stakeholder meeting once the Project Team has reached consent on an established no wake elevation. It is assumed the City of Lake Elmo will provide a list of stakeholders and perform all communication and establish a meeting place and time. OPTIONAL: Public Education and Outreach We understand significant value can be added to any technical analysis by establishing opportunities for the general public to become educated about the issues and provide valuable feedback. Bolton & Menk has decades of experience working in a public forum to inform citizens on technical issues. If the City deems appropriate, Bolton & Menk will attend one community event to facilitate public education and outreach. This includes the following: • Meeting attendance • Preparation of meeting/presentation materials • Meeting minutes This is an optional task. If the City sees added value in this task, we will negotiate a fee at your request. Submitted by Bolton & Menk, Slow No Wake Zone Assessments 1 Lake Elmo Project Approach Task 2: Data Collection 2.1 Geospatial Information Bolton & Menk has access to a robust collection of publically available geospatial data that will assist in the development of a shoreline assessment. This includes, but is not limited to: • Light Detection and Ranging (LiDAR) surface topography • Hydrography data • MnDNR lake level data • Aerial photography Bolton & Menk will rely on the City to provide any additional information regarding known lake and shoreline issues. This information may include the following: • Septic system locations • Private well locations • Lake outlet information (where available) • Known shoreline erosion issues • Known lake flooding issues 2.2 Historic Lake Levels Bolton & Menk will collect historic lake levels for each of the four lakes over the period of record. OPTIONAL: Field Data Collection In these early analysis stages, it may not be prudent to collect any field survey data or other specific site information. However, Bolton & Menk is fully capable of facilitating the following field data collection procedures: • Resident/recreationist surveys • Topographic survey of erosion areas, low floor elevations, low home openings, septic systems, wells, beaches, etc. Photo collection from lakeside into the shore via boat 2-Dimensional photo collection via unmanned drone o This peciflc service may provide critical information al a very high resolution jiff a relatively low cost. Bolton & Menk currently has federally certified drone pilots that are willing to provide additional scope and:fees related to 21) photo collection programs. This is an optional task. If the City sees added value in this task, we will negotiate a fee at your request. Task 3: No Wake Analysis 3.1 Analyze Lake Level Data Utilizing the MaDNR lake level information, Bolton c'Z. Menk will: • Establish lake level frequencies using graphical plotting position • Determine lake level frequencies for a variety of return intervals (i.e. 1-year, 5-year, 10-year, etc.) • Compare DNR OHW elevations to lake level frequencies • Assess the number of exceedances for each return interval to understand how often the wave action will affect shoreline stabilization in a typical year 3.2 Analyze Potential Wave Impacts Wave affects can come from boat and wave sources and each has their potential impact to routine shoreline erosion and no wake implications. The following items will require analysis: • Use literature to determine wave heights from typical boats at varying distances from the shore • Analyze wave heights from potential wind loads Submitted by Bolton & Menk, Inc. Slow No Wake Zone Assessments 1 Lake Elmo 2 Project Approach Compare and contrast the severity of erosion from boat and wind loading 3.3 Geospatial Evaluation Bolton & Menk will utilize GIS to develop several deliverable products that help convey this technical information in a graphical format. We will perform the following tasks: • Plot specific lake levels to determine property and shoreline impacts without wake • Identify shoreline areas that would be affected by wake under a variety of return intervals • Identify and quantify risks to shoreline, septic systems, wells, homes, and other structures • Outline no wake ordinance measures and plan trigger elevations that may he implemented. to reduce wave -related risks Task 4: Summary Report 4.1 Develop Technical Summary Report in a brief report, Bolton & Menk will summarize the technical information collected and substantiate a recommendation for no wake elevations on Lakes Olson, De Montrevilte, Jane, and Ehno. Submitted by Bolton & Menk, Inc.

I have lived at 8554 N Hidden Bay Tr., Lake Elmo for 22 years. This property is in the SE corner of Lake Demontreville. I recommend the Lake Elmo City Council not waste tax payer money on a study in regard to the above issue & make no changes to the current ordinance in regard to the above referenced matter. I am not in favor of any more restrictions on our lakes, which lowering the no wake trigger would do. It would have restricted the use of our lakes much of this past summer! This issue is not a problem as indicated in the 5/24/16 letter that the Lake Elmo Environmental Committee received from Lake Demontreville Olson Association (LDO). This no wake trigger issue has been discussed before. The question about the level has been asked and answered. The 929.7 feet above sea level no wake trigger for Lakes Demontreville & Olson is working, as there are not any erosion or environmental issues. There is no severe erosion and no proof of problems from wakes generated by motorized water craft, as indicated in the letter sent to the city by LDO. Some other untrue statements in the LDO letter are; it states that LDO is comprised of the vast majority of Lake Demontreville and Lake Olson property owners. That isn't true, as there are a lot of Iakeshore owners not part of LDO due to their agenda to increase water surface use regulations. The letter also states that in the past the DNR has determined the OHW for Lake Demontreville and Olson to be at elevation 929.3 feet. However, the following statement in their letter is false which states that — "Until 2014, this was the benchmark for determining when the City of Lake Elmo would impose a no -wake rule". The DNR has never approved 929.3 (OHW) as a no-wake/flood trigger for our lakes. Furthermore, if the Lake Elmo City Council considers a study or a change the No- wake/flood trigger levels for some or all of the lakes, I recommend, at a minimum, that the City does the following, before making any decisions to order a study, or, change the regulations; 1] Identify specifically the issue of erosion, what erosion /damage? 2] Identify specifically what contributes to the alleged erosion? 3] Identify and determine at what lake level erosion starts? 4] Provide transparency to the public and access to all data, about 1, 2, & 3 above. 5] Obtain a peer review of any studies / reports from the Environmental Committee, or, prepared for the Committee, and provide the same to the public. 6] Obtain public comment & review input from all concerned. In summary, the request from LDO is a waste of the city's funds, time, & resources. A study for an issue that isn't a problem is a waste of taxpayers' funds. We need common sense & fiscal responsibility, not a study! I recommend the City of Lake Elmo not waste money on a study & keep the no wake trigger level at 929.7 ft. for Lakes Demontreville & Lake Olson, because it works & there are no damage issues. _Thank you, Dave Carlson bdbsewzoneaol.com Ti IL CITY OF LAKE ELMO STAFF REPORT DATE: December 6, 2016 REGULAR ITEM #: 19 AGENDA ITEM: Lake Shoreline/Boating Study SUBMITTED BY: Kristina Handt, City Administrator BACKGROUND: In August the City Council referred the no wake high water level issue to the Environmental Committee for review and recommendation, The Environmental Committee heard from property owners and other interested lake folks as well as members of the DNR over the course of two meeting in October and November. Consistent with what staff had shared previously, the DNR continued to suggest some fonn of study be done and asked what has changed since the no wake level was last determined in 2013. The Environmental Committee members agreed that a third party should be engaged to conduct a study of the lakes and the impact of boating on shoreline erosion. ISSUE BEFORE COUNCIL: Should the City engage an engineering firm to conduct a study of the impact of boatingnd the no wake level on the shorelines of the four recreational lakes (Olson, Demontreville, Jane and Elmo)? PROPOSAL DETAILS/ANALYSIS: Staff has reached out to the Washington Conservation District as was discussed at the November Environmental Committee meeting. The WCD is not able to provide these type of services, however they did assist in suggesting engineering firms to contact. Staff contacted three engineering firms and expects to receive a scope of services and rough cost estimate from each of them. At the time of the staff report, all of the firms had not yet submitted their proposals. Staff will provide them to the Council prior to the meeting on December 6th. FISCAL IMPACT: The fiscal impact is not known at this time. Funds for the study could come out of the general fund balance. Additionally, the Council may wish to ask for a cost share from the Lake Associations similar to the premise for other lake quality improvement project cost shares included in the 2017 budget.

After the 2015 System Statement was released by the Metropolitan Council, City Staff had anticipated subsequent land use plan amendments \nreduce the overall amount of housing planned within the 1-94 corridor urban service districts.

MN State Statute requires cities to have comprehensive plans that are in conformity with metropolitan system plans.

Lake Elmo's share of the region's need for low and moderate income housing is 508 new units affordable to households earning 80% of area median income (AM I) or below. Of these new units, the need is for 27 affordable households earning at or below 30% of AMI, 179 affordable tohouseholds earning 3I96to50%ofAK4|,and 382affordable tohouseholds earning 51%to 80% of AML These forecasts are for new units which translates to a Met Council requirement to have land area guided for Medium Density and High Density Residential in the Comprehensive Land Use Plan.

The Metropolitan Council keeps a running tabulation of land guided for urban residential growth, and affordable housing. The current tabulation is as follows: Category Urban Low Density Urban Medium Density Urban High Density Village Urban Low Density Res (V-LDR) Village Urban Medium Density Res (V- MDR) 2,5 5 Village Mixed Use (VMX) 6 10 ... Sewered Analysis. —1 Density Range Gross Min Max Min Max Acres Units Units 2,5 4 519.49 1299 2078 4 7.5 381.69 1527 2863 7.5 15 143.37 1075 2151 1.5 2 245.95 369 492 121.7 304 609 164.4 543 1644 From the System Statement and the above table, the City currently has in excess of 1, 696 planned sewered residential units than required for the 2040 Comprehensive Plan and 20 more affordable units than was required for the 2030 comprehensive plan that could possibly be carried forward to meet the 2040 requirement. According to Lisa Barajas from the Metropolitan Council, the City's Comprehensive Land Use Plan has sufficient land guided at Urban High Density to meet the City's 2030 affordable housing need, but the HDR category will need to be guided for slightly higher densities, from 7.5 to 8 du/acre, in order to meet affordable threasholds. In general, to meet affordable criteria a comprehensive plan needs to: Option 1: Guide sufficient land at a minimum density of: • 8 units/acre to meet a community's total need Option 2: Guide sufficient land at a minimum density of: • 12 units/acre to meet need at 50% or less AMI (combines the two lower affordability bands) • 6 units/acre to meet need at 51%-80% AM I Also, according to Lisa Barajas, as currently guided, the City has an excess of 14 acres of HDR guided land to meet the City's 2015 System Statement's affordable requirement. Rural Analysis. The 2030 comprehensive land use plan guides enough land in the rural areas to meet the city's 2040 unsewered housing targets (roughly 3,691). The recent change to the OP Ordinance has the potential to increase the number of rural households by an additional 494 units. The recently discussed proposal to guide rural parcels 20 acres or less to Residential Estates might add another 418 rural units (see attached 11/14/16 Planning Commission report — Residential Districts — Allowed Density for a more detailed analysis of ntral development density).

This aligns with our Livable Communities Act Program regulating statutes that require re -enrollment in the program every 10ycars. ° As such, your 2030 plan has on affordable housing need allocation for the decade from 2011'2020. " When you update your comprehensive plan for the 2040 planning horizon, then you will need to address your affordable housing need from ZOJ1'Z03O. ° Any land, guided atsufficient densities consistent with our policies, that is undeveloped or guided for redevelopment within that decade (2021'2090) would count tqvven1 your affordable housing need for that decade, even )[it7salready guided for those densities today. = Your allocation is not "cumu\adve"— in other words, your 2040 plan dues not need to show sufficient land for 2011-2020 housing need, because presumably by the time you submit your plan the decade will nearly bvover (i[ you submit /n2O18). � Right now your plan has sufficient land guided at Urban High Density to meet your2O11'2O20 need ANDtomceL your 2021-3030 need. BUT, you would need to vcguide to slightly higher densities for the 2021'2030 need as part of your 2040 comprehensive plan update: o Your Urban High Density is close (currently 7.5) to mcebng the 8du/acre threshold that would count toward your allocation for 2OZl'2U3U.It's nsmall increment upward. p You have a total of 143 acres currently guided as Urban High Density — producing at a minimum of over 1O0Ounits. o Your plan currently guides about 6S acres as Urban High Density for ID11'ZUJD, with the remaining 78 acres currently staged for Z0Z1'2O30. o Changing nothing for this land, and assuming that the 78 acres remains available for development as you prepare your comprehensive plan update, your plan provides more than sufficient land to support your 2021'2030a\|o housing units, u You could even movethose acres to the next decade (ZO31'204O)ofstaged development, and stillmectyourZ0Il'ZO3O-n�eU. l hope that helps the conversation with your Council Members. I would recommend that you stress the importance of the planning work that has already been done for the South of 10m Street area and suggest that you not reduce those densities, orremove land from that category aLall.

CIT1' LAKE ELMO ITEM: SUBMITTED BY: REVIEWED BY: BACKGROUND: PLANNING COMMISSION DATE: 11/14/16 AGENDA ITEM: 5c— DISCUSSION ITEM Residential Districts -- Allowed Density Stephen Wensman, Planning Director Emily Becker, City Planner. Kristina Handt, City Administrator. During a recent City Council meeting, after the approval of the Open Space Preservation ordinance amendment, there was discussion regarding the subdivision of property in the rural zoning districts in to smaller lots than what is currently allowed. The discussion referenced other discussions in the past regarding this same matter. The subdivision of property into 2.5 acre lots is limited to the Residential Estates zoning district, and such zoning is limited in the City to a small area. Furthermore, the Comprehensive Plan guides only a small new area as residential estate. The City Council is requesting that the Planning Commission discuss the expansion of 2.5 acre or similar sized lot development in the rural districts. PLANNING ZONING ISSUES: Current Minimum Lot Size Standards The table below outlines the minimum lot area acres) required for properties within Rural Districts. RT 20 A 40 RS 10 1.5 2.5 Open Space Preservation Developments The recently approved Open Space Preservation ordinance requires a minimum land area of a nominal contiguous 20 contiguous acres for an open space plaimed unit development. The land must also be located in the Rural Residential, Agricultural or Residential Estate zoning districts. Any property that is in these zoning districts but does not or cannot meet the 20 acre -minimum BUSINESS ITEM 5c requirement through combining with adjacent parcels cannot further develop as an OP development. Subdivision of these parcels would be limited to the lot sizes specified in the table above. Such parcels are outlined in the attached map. The current limitation on rural estate development in favor of OP development is consistent with the current comprehensive plan policy and vision statenients: "Encourage the majority of the new households created in areas north of 10th Street north and outside the Village Area to be efficiently developed in a rural context in the Rim) ofOpen Space Development cluster neighborhoods." "Lake Elmo's land use plan is guided by its core vision of creating and maintaining a rural community within the Metropolitan region." "The remainder of the community north of 10th Street and surrounding the Old Village will continue Lake Elrno's long tradition of providing rural living opportunities within the Metropolitan area." The new (OP) Open Space Preservation Ordinance allows cluster development on properties 20 acres or greater. Previous Planning Staff had conducted an analysis to determine the potential number of housing units that could be developed in the Agriculture and Rural Residential zoning districts under the OP Ordinance when the minimum acreage was 40 acres. The total acreage zoned identified (less 15% assumed unbuildable) was multiplied by (.45) to determine the number of households. The number of households possible under the old ordinance was 524. Staff did a similar exercise identifying lots between 20 and 40 acres in size have determined that the new ordinance would allow an additional 494 households to be developed under the OP Ordinance, or a total of 1,018 households.

Total Acreage - assuming 15% unbuildable area The remaining rural properties, 20 acres or less in size, are unable to develop into OP developments. These properties are currently limited to 1 unit per 10 acres under Rural Residential zoning, or 1 unit per 40 under Agriculture zoning. If the City were to allow rural properties, 5-20 acres in sizc, to develop into 2.5 acre lots, as could be done under Residential Estates zoning, the city might see an additional 418 households.

(Met Council Forecasted Unsewered Households = 3,679) (2014 MC Est, Unsewered Households = 2, 865 - 66 sewered lots = 2,799 rural households) (Future rural households with OP and 2.5 acre zoning = 2,799 +1,436 (new rural households) = 4,235 households) 4,235 3,679 = 556* (MC Forecasted Unsewered Pop. 8792/MC Forecasted Unsewered 1-111 of 3679 = 2.39) 1,329 2015 System Statement.

BUSINESS ITEM 5c ATTACHMENTS: 5 Map of properties zoned Agricultural, Rural Residential, and Residential Estate under 20 acres. BUSINESS ITEM 5c ROYAL: GREAT NEIGHBORHOOD CONCEPT, BUT TOO MANY HOUSES PROPOSED TRANSITIONAL ZONE IS OVERREACH On 9/6/16, Lake Elmo's City Council approved a concept plan for nearly 300 homes at Royal Golf Club, located at the former Tartan Park, south of downtown Lake Elmo. Although it was just a concept plan approval, the Council's 4-1 vote allows the developer to move forward to propose a more specific neighborhood plan for approval of preliminary plat. Currently the Royal site is zoned for recreation as PF (Public Facility). In order to build homes, the developer will need the City Council to change zoning for this area. To build homes, the developer will also need the city to change its Comprehensive Plan. The Comprehensive Plan is filed with Metropolitan Council. The plan lays out land use and zoning based on projections for population growth in the city. The city council is considering amending the Comprehensive Plan in order to allow a high number of homes at Royal with new connections to city sewer and water. If the City Council changes its Comprehensive Plan to allow Royal housing to proceed, they may also create a new "transitional zone." This zoning change would cover more than just the land at Royal. It would cover land that lies south of the Old Village at 30th St and north of 10th St N, with the rationale being future sewer hookups. This area was never intended to be urban. It was specifically called, out to be "rural area development" in the city Comprehensive Plan. A transitional zone clearly reaches beyond the decision to approve Royal housing development. While the idea of a golf -centered neighborhood is very appealing, the citizens of Lake Elmo deserve to consider development that is 1) appropriate in density and 2) limited to the area under immediate consideration for development, Le. Royal property only. Concerned citizens of Lake Elmo oppose abandoning rural and open space character in the area south of 30th St N and north of 10th St N. The city should stick to its stated plans to preserve these special features, now and for years to come: e oppose development of homes at Royal on lots of less than one acre so that this special area is not overbuilt e oppose creating a new "transitional zone" by amending the city's Comprehensive Plan See reverse side Why does this matter? 1. Royal should not set a precedent for future municipal sewer development in the area. Adjacent neighborhoods to Royal are Open Space neighborhoods or large acre properties with private well and septic systems. Dense development is not in harmony with the surrounding area. Under the City's own Comprehensive Plan, Lake Elmo south of 30th St and north of 10th St N was planned to be open space development. If city sewer is added to this area, other land parcels could be developed with greater numbers of homes built dose to each other, as opposed to neighborhoods in open space settings. See City Wide Planning Policy, item #2 on page 11-2: http:// Jakeelmo.info/wp-content/uploads/2012/06/Chapter_11 - City_Wide_Planning_Policy.pdf 2. The city does not need Royal to help it meet population growth targets required by the Metropolitan Council. The current Comprehensive Plan addresses sufficient growth. Any new housing at Royal is a bonus to these targets. Indeed, high density areas in Lake Elmo were created so that rural character and open space could be retained elsewhere in the city. 3. Proposed Royal development is too intense for this special and environmentally sensitive area that has 21 wetlands, a DNR waterway, three environmental lakes, and floodplains. This land is not a former farm field. It is better protected by considering much lower development than nearly 300 homes would entail. 4. We believe the volume of traffic that nearly 300 homes would bring to this area would have a huge impact that current streets, such as Manning Trail and 20th St., cannot support. Potential traffic increases and limitations of current streets should be fully vetted prior to plan approval to ensure road safety and avoid congestion. Take action!

Roseville, MN Date Comment 2016-09-24 We need green space and tracts to allow animals to maintain breeding. If you remove environmental corridors, you change the environment and our beautiful state. Joan Moseman Lake Elmo, MN 2016-09-26 The city does not need Royal to add 300 housed to meet the target growth, there is no streets and schools to support this population increase and all the surrounding housing is on an acre or more. Merrily Karel Stillwater, MN 2016-10-01 I would like the rural teel of this area to remain intact I would also like to avoid more congestion on Manning Ave, Thomas Fix Stillwater, MN 2016-10-02 Preserve ordinance's zoning definitions, to prevent an avalanche of variances that would ruin rural preservation.

Sue Oechsner Saint Paul, MN 2016-10-03 I have several friends living in Lake Elmo. I've always admired the fact that large lots were the "norm". My friends located there because of the housing code and are now getting screwed! Naomi Grohovsky Stillwater, MN 2016-10-03 I do not want a change to the comprehensive plan. We need to keep as much land rural as possible. robert gardner Lake Elmo, MN 2016-10-03 i live there Scott Tobin Stillwater, MN 2016-10-05 Lake Elmo was know for it's rural living and they talk about it on their website. But not anymore! Take a drive down manning and look and at the new Easton Development. Looks like low income housing to me. Not what you would expect to see in Lake Elmo and surrounding areas. Thanks again Lake Elmo! Ami Schakel Lake Elmo, MN 2016-10-07 I want to protect and preserve as much natural and open space as possible. If we build it all up, we will lose the special character, animal residents, and nature that surrounds and calms us all. Gay Van Pelt Lake Elmo, MN 2016-10-07 I have lived in the neighborhood across from Tartan Park since 1992, It appears we are abandoning all of our past planning. Stephen Buckingham Lake Elmo, MN 2016-10-10 I have lived in this area for over 25 years and moved here because ot its rural character. A development of this size would significantly alter that character. A change of that sort and the increased traffic that it would bring to Manning Avenue would adversely affect current residents.
