In June, the Finance Committee reviewed the plan and made a recommendation to the Council. Before the recommendation can go to Council, the Planning Commission will need to hold a public hearing on the plan and make a recommendation about whether or not it is consistent with the Comprehensive Plan since the CIP is a component of the Comprehensive Plan. Since the plan years are 2020-2024, the plan should be compared to the 2040 Comprehensive Plan that was adopted by the City Council on November 5t'. ISSUE BEFORE COMMISSION: Is the proposed 2020-2024 Capital Improvement Plan consistent with the 2040 Comprehensive Plan? PROPOSAL DETAILS/ANALYSIS: A copy of the 2020-2024 CIP is included in your packet. It includes projects that cost at least $25,000 and have a useful life span of five years or longer. Projects are prioritized and funding sources are identified. The 2020-2024 CIP includes 72 separate projects with a total estimated cost of about$61 million. These projects include street work,new facilities(city hall and fire station),equipment(fire,public works,parks and utilities),park and trail improvements, and utility infrastructure. FISCAL IMPACT: The total estimated costs of all the projects is $61 million. Funding sources are identified for each project with a summary included on page 14. OPTIONS: After holding the public hearing, the Planning Commission may: 1) Find that the 2020-2024 CIP is consistent with the 2040 Comprehensive Plan 2) Find that the 2020-2024 CIP is not consistent with the 2040 Comprehensive Plan and note the inconsistencies. RECOMMENDATION: "Motion to recommend to the City Council that the 2020-2024 Capital Improvement Plan is consistent with the 2040 Comprehensive Plan" ATTACHMENT: • Draft 2020-2024 Capital Improvement Plan THE CITY OF LAK LMO City of Lake Elmo Capital Improvement Program 2020 — 2024 Planning Commission Draft 11/13/19 1 TABLE OF CONTENTS Introduction Whatis a CIP? .................................................................................................................3 Scopeof the Draft CIP.....................................................................................................3 FundingSources...............................................................................................................4 ProjectPriorities...............................................................................................................5 2020-2024 CIP Overview StreetProjects ..................................................................................................................6 Project Highlights by Department ...................................................................................6 CIP Reports (Appendix) ProjectsListings...................................................................................1 0 Projects by Year& Priority ......................................................................13 Funding Source Summary........................................................................16 Projects by Funding Source 2020-2024 .......................................................17 Projects by Funding Source 2020-2029 .......................................................20 Projects & Funding Sources by Department...................................................25 ProjectDetail.......................................................................................29 2 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 CIP be kept-up-to date and in sync 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 assist the City Council to sort out competing priorities. Scope of the CIP Lake Elmo'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 CIP. 3 Funding Sources The CIP identifies a possible funding source(s) for each project listed. The various funding sources are as follows: Debt Service Fund Projects financed by borrowing, later to be repaid with property taxes, and potentially special assessments depending upon the characteristics of the project. General Fund Annual operating budget,primarily funded by property tax revenues. Park Improvement Fund Existing City fund, receipts from cash-in-lieu of land park dedication fees paid by developers and others who subdivide their land. Stormwater Fund Funds come from fees paid by users of the Stormwater system Wastewater Fund Funds come from fees paid by users of the Wastewater System Vehicle Replacement Fund Fund used to segregate funds set aside for planned replacements of existing vehicles. Funds are transferred from the operating budget(primarily property taxes) and the sale of equipment. Water Fund Funds come from fees paid by users of the Water System Municipal State Aid(MSA) State aid funds 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. In 2019 the Vehicle Replacement Fund was revived. The expected fund balance at 12/31/19 is estimated to be about $215,000. The updated proposed schedule of revenues and expenditures assumes the 2% increase in the tax rate each year continues. 4 Year Revenue Expense Balance 2020 $872,139 $298,500 $788,715 2021 $794,679 $310,000 $1,273,394 2022 $150,000 $972,500 $450,894 2023 $175,000 $289,000 $336,894 2024 $200,000 $209,000 $327,894 2025 $387,300 $55,000 $660,194 2026 $424,500 $35,000 $1,049,694 2027 $635,290 $1,028,500 $656,484 2028 $1,010,030 $0 $1,666,514 2029 $531,000 $230,000 $1,967,514 Revenue from the sale of equipment is not included in the above table. 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 priorities. Complicated scoring 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 2020-2024 CIP OVERVIEW For 2020 through 2024, the draft CIP includes 72 separate projects (active, pending and new recommendations) with a total estimated cost of$60,741,401. All cost estimates are preliminary and based on current dollars. No assumptions have been made about inflation. It will be 5 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 CIP. Most of these projects are replacements for equipment and vehicles (such as fire trucks) which may have a life span of 10, 15 or 20 years and 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 update includes the following street projects in the CIP: • PW-026, Reclaim roads in Heritage Farms at a cost of$1,774,000 in 2020. State grant will cover cost of roads in Stonegate 2nd since it is tied to a water project. • PW-027, Reconstruction of roads in Tamarack Farms, and Hamlet on Sunfish Lake and Old Village Phase 5 for$2,864,00 in 2021. • PW-030, CSAH 15/301h St Signal for$250,000 in 2023 • PW-031, CSAH6/Inwood Street Signal for$250,000 in 2024 • PW-034, 15th St N (MSA Street) for$1,045,000 moved to 2022 from 2020 • PW-035, UP RR Crossing-Village Parkway for$525,000 moved to 2021 from 2020 • PW-036, UP RR Crossing-Private Drive Closure for$105,000 moved to 2021 from 2020 • PW-037, UP RR Crossing-Klondike Ave for$262,500 moved to 2021 from 2020 • PW-038, Reclaim roads in Fields of St. Croix 1 and 2 and Old Village Phase 6 streets, $3,045,000 in 2022 • PW-039, Reclaim roads in Parkview Estates, Cardinal Ridge, Torres Pines, Beaut Crest and Irish Ct and Old Village Phase 7, $2,289,200 in 2023 • PW-040, Reclaim roads in Tana Ridge, Carriage Station, and 59th St Ct/55th St/Julep Way for$1,653,000 in 2024. • PW-052, Ideal Ave (Phase 2) for$800,000 in 2022 • PW-053, Ideal Ave (CSAH 13) from CSAH 14 to CSAH 6, for$800,000 in 2024 • PW-057, Manning Phase 3 for$250,000 in 2021 and $1,400,000 in 2023 • PW-058, TH 36/Manning Interchange for$2 million(very rough estimate) in 2021 • PW-059, Keats Ave/TH 36 Acceleration Lane was removed since we learned we were not awarded a state grant • PW-066, Manning Phase 4 (I-94 up to Oakland Middle School) for$50,000 (planning) in 2024 (new) May not see actual bill from county until construction sometime later. • PW-067, Manning/Hudson Stoplight for$250,000 in 2021 is covered by developer.

(new) Project Highlights by Department 6 Administration/Finance: ➢ AF-001,New City Hall, Fire Station and Public Works Improvements, is the only request in this department. The project costs have been increased by 3% from the 2018 estimates from Leo A Daly. The project activities would be split over three years 2020-2022 since the last tenant lease expires in June 2022. However, costs are shown as two separate bond issues. Fire: ➢ F-010, Replace BI for$60,000 in 2021. ➢ F-011, Engine E1 replacement for$580,000 in 2022 ➢ F-017, Turnout Gear Replacements for$60,000 in 2022 ➢ F-018 and F-019, Tahoes for Fire Department in 2020 and 2022, are being added back into the CIP. Previous council/committee in 2016 removed them and anticipated them going in operating budget when sales cost were subtracted from new cost the difference was less than $25,000. Staff proposes putting them back in to the CIP since the asset is over$25,000 and to fund them through the Vehicle Replacement Fund. Parks and Recreation: ➢ PR-007, Sunfish Lake Park Improvements for$120,000 in 2020 for mountain bike trails and$90,000 in 2021 includes paving hiking trails to meet ADA standards. ➢ PR-009, Central Greenway Regional Trail for$50,000 in 2023.

The applicants would like to construct an addition onto the existing home that is on the property. The proposed addition would conflict with the required front and side yard setback(s). With the home being considered as legal non-conforming improvements from a dimensional standpoint would more than likely trigger the need for a variance. ISSUE BEFORE THE COMMISSION: The Planning Commission is being asked to hold a public hearing and make recommendation on the above-mentioned variance requests. PROPOSAL DETAILS/ANALYSIS: Applicant: Vance and Haupheng Vang Property Owners: Haupheng Vang Location: 2038 Inwood Ave.PID#21.029.21.34.0013, Subdivision name Torre Pines 2nd Addition Block I Lot 3 Request: Variance for Expansion of a Non-Conforming Structure for Front and Side Yard Setbacks Existing Land Use: Single-Family Detached Residential Dwelling Surrounding Land Surrounded by other single-family detached residential dwellings. Lake Elmo Use: Park Reserve is to the East of the property. Existing Zoning: RE—Residential Estate Comprehensive Plan: Rural Single Family History: This property holds an old home that currently does not meet the front yard setback. The development established around the home. Deadline for Action: Application Complete— 10-15-2019 60 Day Deadline— 12-14-2019 Extension Letter Mailed—N/A 120 Day Deadline—N/A Applicable Article V—Zoning Administration and Enforcement Regulations: Article XI—Rural Districts Request Details. The applicant is proposing to build an addition off the north side of the existing structure. At this point the existing setback from the side lot line (north line) is 64 ft. 6 inches. and the setback from the front lot line is 50 ft. 9 inches. There is no issue with the side setback as a 50 ft. side yard setback is required but the front yard setback falls short by 50 ft. (100 ft. required). The applicant would like to invest in the property and improve it so that it will become more accommodating for their family's needs. There is language in the Zoning Code that would allow certain improvements without the need for a variance. However, the language is not flexible enough to assist with obtaining the addition. (See Code Reference Below) The Applicant is seeking variances on the following items There is some language in place that would allow the home to be altered. However,the current front yard setback is already more than 10% of the reduced setback. The current side yard setback is conforming but the addition will conflict with the required 50 ft. side yard setback.

Staff created a layout that would not conflict with the front yard setback which ends up placing the addition behind the existing garage (not to scale). Shifting the addition to a position on the home where neither the front nor the side lot line setbacks would then appear to directly interfere with the access to the garage and driveway. :)erty line ------- - �i�-=--------- ----------- \>� JAS E entry�dri� Addition +/- 100 ft. ♦� I Lf) M se&garage Garage -014 0 O O ` \ C hard surfdce drieS 120 z sq.ft MALIN FIELD TANK 5. �4 � Page 2 Lot Details and Details of the Development Lot Details.The property was established during the development of the Torre Pines Subdivision. The lot itself does not have any issues when it comes to zoning. As stated before the issue starts with the existing home. With the lots being established around the existing home it is not terribly surprising to Staff that the home would become Legal Non-Conforming.

At first there doesn't seem to be any issues and it's a fairly straightforward development with no issues (except the legal non-conforming home). The problem that Staff found is condition number 7. Of the approving resolution(2008-038) for phase 2. The condition states: "The driveway access from Lot 13, Block 1 shall be moved to 21St Street prior to any expansion or replacement of the existing house on this lot." Page 3 The issue here is that there is no lot 13 for block 1 of the second addition. However,there is a lot 13 of block 1 in the first addition (see L_____-- phase I graphic). With that said, Staff speculates that there was a mistype and it should have said Block I Lot 3 and further IIIc j believes that the driveway condition was 1 �> intended for the existing home of the property a + at 2038 Inwood Ave. �r27'5j"r SPAN At this time Staff believes the intent was to redirect the driveway but it was miss-stated. This would be an appropriate time to correct .� 3 '.• �,� `a"^"'.�sue._ .,ap7 _.1 I the location of the driveway for the house to yy 215t St. but Staff does not believe it is entirely % �° •�bl"i I necessary. The driveway enters out onto a R SB9.S6"01'W 06]SS �` T County Road and though the driveway x connects to a road that is obviously busier than 215t St. the existing owner would like to have it remain in place. At the time when Inwood Ave (Hwy 13)is improved the homeowner may want to connect to 21St St. The City would also need to accept that requiring the driveway to connect to 2I'i St.would create another non-conformity. With the driveway connecting out to 21 St. the ' accessory building would be closer to the front lot line than the principle structure (the home). Though, that would conflict with the code it would not appear to be terribly detrimental to the neighbors. Although some individuals may find it more desirable to connect to 21 St. Staff does not necessarily see a gain in requiring the current owner to re-direct the driveway. Unless the Commission or City Council have different thoughts this may be an appropriate condition to have Washington County enforce as everything is already existing. Other Agency Review Washington County Comments. Washington County has stated that they would not like to see additional access created onto Inwood Avenue and instead have a new driveway installed for connection to 2I't St. Staff Comment - City Staff agrees that additional access should not be created but does not necessarily agree that enforcing a connection to 21't St. would need to be required at this time. Instead that connection could/should be required when Inwood Avenue is improved(expanded). Valley Branch Watershed Comments. The Watershed did respond but was uncertain if a permit would be required. Staff Comment — It would be appropriate to apply a condition requiring the property owner to reach out to the Watershed District and provide feedback on what will be required. City of Lake Elmo Engineer Comments. The comment memo from the City's Engineer is attached. To summarize the memo, additional encroachment is not recommended in anticipation of the expansion of Highway 13 (Inwood Ave.) and the setback line should be measured from the ROW line with an addition 15 ft. as that is what Page 4 the County would expect to acquire during the time that Hwy 13 is improved, eliminate one section of the driveway onto Highway 13, acquire an addition 15 ft. of ROW in anticipation of the expansion of Hwy 13. Torre Pines HOA. The applicant has obtained approval from the HOA architectural advisory board for the addition. RECOMMENDED FINDINGS: An applicant must establish and demonstrate compliance with the variance criteria set forth in Lake Elmo City Code Section 154.109 before an exception or modification to the property can be granted. The criteria is listed below, along with recommended findings from Staff regarding applicability of these criteria to the applicant's request. 1) Practical Difficulties. A variance to the provision of this chapter may be granted by the Board of Adjustment upon the application by the owner of the affected property where the strict enforcement of this chapter would cause practical difficulties because of circumstances unique to the individual property under consideration and then only when it is demonstrated that such actions will be in keeping with the spirit and intent of this chapter. Definition of practical difficulties; "Practical difficulties"as used in connection with the granting of a variance,means that the property owner proposes to use the property in a reasonable manner not permitted by an official control. FINDINGS: Variance For Front Yard Setback: With respect to the proposed variance for a reduced setback from the front lot line, strict enforcement of the City's zoning regulations will cause practical difficulties and the applicant is proposing to use the property in a reasonable manner. The request to expand the existing home on site does appear to be reasonable. Considering that the home is existing and the development was established around the existing home,property owners are limited when it comes to improvements that could comply with the code. Also, the addition does not further increase the non-conformity, the reduced setback does appear reasonable. Variance For Side Yard Setback: With respect to the proposed variance for a reduced setback from the side lot line, strict enforcement of the City s zoning regulations will cause practical difficulties and the applicant is proposing to use the property in a reasonable manner. With the Residential Estate requiring a minimum of 50 ft. as a setback from the side lot line, which is the largest of all rural zoning districts only being less restricting than the Agricultural district, requiring 100 ft. as the setback. Although, the existing structure does meet the setback requirement any addition larger than 14 ft. would trigger a variance. The City must keep in mind that perhaps there is an alternative to the request to avoid a variance. But placing the addition to the South of the existing home would more than likely infringe on the existing driveway, access to the garage, andpossibly the septic system. The addition to the north does appear reasonable and they are still able to maintain a 27 ft. and 9 in. setback from the north property line. 2) Unique Circumstances. The plight of the landowner is due to circumstances unique to the property not created by the landowner. FINDINGS: Variance For Front Yard Setback: With respect to the proposed variance for the front yard setback, the plight of the Applicant is unique and has not been caused by the applicant. Although the lot is large enough in size to accommodate the size of home that is desired the applicant was not involved with the construction/placement of the existing house or with the platting process that triggered this home to become legal non-conforming. With the structure being legal non-conforming, additions become difficult especially when the required setback is 100 ft. Given the circumstances, approval for the addition on the structure with a setback less than 100 ft.from the front lot line does appear to be reasonable. Page 5 Variance For Side Yard Setback: With respect to the proposed variance for the side yard setback, the plight of the Applicant is unique and has not been caused by the applicant. Generally speaking property owners do not have to contend with legal non-conforming structures in a new development. Although the home as existing, is capable of meeting the required setback from the northern side lot line there is limited room and options for expanding the structure. Beyond this, it is impractical to expand the structure to the south where the setbacks can be met. This is justified because an expansion would then being to conflict with the driveway, garage, and the driveway would be forced south towards the drain field is located. The standard appears to be met. 3) Character of Locality. The proposed variance will not alter the essential character of the locality in which the property in question is located. FINDINGS: Variance For Front Yard Setback: With respect to the proposed variance for the front yard setback, the addition would not appear to alter the character of the locality. Though affiliated with the Torre Pines Development the home primarily appears to have a limited impact on the development due to its location in the rear of the lot, as compared to the other homes. Allowing a variance to the front lot line appears to have limited bearing on the character of the locality. Variance For Side Yard Setback: With respect to the proposed variance for the side yard setback, the addition would not appear to alter the character of the locality. The City recognizes that allowing a reduced setback for the side yard lot line would be different from what has been allowed by the Zoning Code and the Locality. However, understanding that this was the original home in the subdivision and given its location on the property being able reasonably notice the setback form the development appears stretched. S o 1 Jim Inwood Avenue I �t Page 6 4) Adjacent Properties and Traffic. The proposed variance will not impair an adequate supply of light and air to properties adjacent to the property in question or substantially increase the congestion of the public streets or substantially diminish or impair property values within the neighborhood. FINDINGS Variance For Front Yard Setback: With respect to the proposed variance for the front yard setback, the proposed variance will not impair an adequate supply of light and air to the adjacent property or substantially increase congestion of the public streets or substantially diminish property values. Drawing a conclusion that allowing a variance from the front property line would cause negative impacts appears limited in this situation when reviewed through the required scope. Since the home is on the opposite side of the lot of where the neighborhood road is located the impacts of the proposal would be severely limited. Variance For Side Yard Setback: With respect to the proposed variance for the side yard setback, the proposed variance will not impair an adequate supply of light and air to the adjacent property or substantially increase congestion of the public streets or substantially diminish property values. The only property that would be perceivably impacted is the property to the north (vacant). However, there would still be an estimated 77 ft. setbackfrom the proposed home and anew home on the neighboring property to the north (838121"N.). There is also a strong stand of trees on the northern not that further helps to minimize the visibility of the structure. Although the required setback is being infringed on there still appears to be a sufficient setback to accommodate approval. Furthermore, allowance of the reduced setback appears to have a limited bearing on reducing property values when it comes to the setback. 21ST9TN t 50 Ft. 100.9 Ft. FISCAL IMPACT: None. OPTIONS: The Planning Commission may: • Recommend approval of the variance requests, subject to conditions of approval as recommended by Staff. • Amend conditions of approval and recommend approval of the variance requests, subject to amended conditions of approval. • Recommend denial of the variance requests. Page 7 RECOMMENDATION: Staff is recommending approval of the variance requests. Although the lots are larger in the Residential Estate Zoning classification the property owner is at a disadvantage when it comes to making improvements consisting expansions of the home. Staff is recommending the following conditions of approval: 1) The applicant shall reduce the number of access points onto Inwood Avenue from two to one. 2) The applicant shall follow up with the Valley Branch Watershed District regarding permitting and provide their conclusion to City Staff. If a permit is required then an approved permit shall be provided to the City prior to issuance of the building permit. 3) The applicant shall follow up with Washington County Septic Department regarding permitting and provide their conclusion to City Staff. If a permit is required then an approved permit shall be provided to City Staff prior to issuance of a building permit. Staff recommends the following motion: "Motion to recommend approval of the request for reduced front and side yard setbacks for the property at 2038 Inwood Ave., subject to conditions of approval as recommended by Staff ATTACHMENTS: • Applicants narrative • Survey/site plan • HOA Architectural Board Approval • Lake Elmo Resident Comments • Engineering Memo Page 8 VARIANCE REQUEST STATEMENT VANG PROPERTY 2038 INWOOD AVE NORTH LAKE ELMO, MINNESOTA The practical difficulties related to this land owner are the subject of the existing zoning requirements which were imposed upon this farm stead after it was built and lived in for many years. The owners would like to save this farm house and add an addition to meet their family residential requirements. The existing zoning requires a 100' front yard set-back. Our request for the variance is to allow a 50' front yard set-back which is the same set back as the existing farm house. This variance would allow the proposed addition to connect to the existing farm house. The existing zoning requires a 50' side yard set-back, while the R-2 areas in the City of Lake Elmo allow a 10' side yard set-back. The owner is requesting that the proposed addition be allowed to have a set-back of 26'. Unique circumstance of having the existing septic system located on the south side of the farm house, the garage located on the west side of the farm house and the existing front yard set-back will only allow the proposed addition to be located on the north side of the farm house. The existing road along the north side of the property will be removed to eliminate future traffic and allow space for the proposed addition. The Torre Pines property adjoining the north property line is heavily wooded. Allowing the proposed addition to be 24' closer to the property line would never be noticed unless the forest was cleared. The property in question is located in the Torre Pines development. Attached with this statement is a letter from Jack McGee, the chairman of the Torre Pines Homeowners Association Architectural Control Committee. In keeping with the character of the locality, the letter is a statement of approval for the Vang addition.

The family and several adult children live in the house today. How can we verify that the new structure will not be used for more than a single family dwelling which would impact property values in the area 7) Linked to the single-family dwelling issue is the concern that there are already several vehicles on the property that do not have sufficient garage space and visually impacts the neighborhood property values I would appreciate consideration from the council on the negative impact of this variance on the neighborhood, safety and wildlife.

MEMORANDUM Cara Geheren, P.E. 651.300.4261 Jack Griffin,P.E. 651.300.4264 Ryan Stempski, P.E. 651.300.4267 Date: November 5, 2019 Chad Isakson, P.E. 651.300.4285 To: Ben Prchal, City Planner Re: 2038 Inwood Avenue From: Jack Griffin, P.E., City Engineer Inwood Avenue setback variance A variance request was received for the site plans for an addition to the home at 2038 Inwood Avenue, received on October 31, 2019. Engineering has the following review comments: 1. Additional encroachment toward CSAH13 is not recommended. The County has identified a future 150-foot right-of-way width along CSAH13, or 75 feet from the current centerline. The current right-of-way is 60 feet from centerline. It should be anticipated that the County will seek to acquire an additional 15-feet minimum for the future expansion of Inwood Avenue. Any housing setbacks should be measured using the future right- of-way condition. Setbacks should also consider that Inwood Avenue is designated as a high-volume County roadway with emphasis placed on mobility. 2. The secondary access to Inwood Avenue should be eliminated. Residential property should always be encouraged to access lower hierarchy roadways. In the case of 2038 Inwood Avenue, the lower hierarchy road is 21st Street North. Since the existing access is already in place to Inwood Avenue the access can be allowed to remain, however, the property should be required to eliminate the secondary access. Inwood Avenue is a Washington County roadway designated as an "A Minor Arterial" roadway in the 2040 Comprehensive Plan. The road is intended as a high-volume roadway with an emphasis on mobility and controlled access. 3. Should any variances be granted for this property, consideration should be made to require the dedication of an additional 15-feet right-of-way along Inwood Avenue and the requirement to remove the secondary access.

The proposed minor subdivision would create a 4.4 acre lot for which they have requested City approval of a two-phase multiple-family housing development and the other parcel would be 1.29 acres reserved for future use. The site is located on the southwest corner of 5th Street North and Island Trail. Staff is recommending approval of the minor subdivision as presented, subject to conditions of approval. GENERAL INFORMATION Applicant: RPS Legacy Desoto, 2935 Country Drive, Little Canada MN 55117 Property Owners: RPS Legacy Desoto, Little Canada MN 55117 Location: Outlot B, Inwood 6th Addition. Part of PID Number 33.029.21.13.0017 Request: Application for a Minor Subdivision to split said property into two separate parcels Existing Land Use and Zoning: Open field; future development site within the Inwood PUD. Current Zoning: C—Commercial and HDR PUD Surrounding Land Use and Zoning: North—Existing homes across 5th Street; East—Future High density residential site across Island Trail; West—Future commercial use and site of approved Kwik Trip facility; South— Outlot C, Inwood(ponding area) Comprehensive Plan: MU-C (mixed use commercial) History: The City Council approved the general concept plan for the Inwood PUD on September 16, 2014, the preliminary plat on December 2, 2014 and the Final Plat on May 19, 2015 for Phase 1. Since then, the City has approved several additions for the Inwood PUD, all for property north of 5th Street North. On October 15,2019, the City Council approved the minor subdivision for the Inwood 6th Addition and a conditional use permit for the future Kwik Trip facility. Deadline fbrAction: Application Complete— 10-11-2019 60 Day Deadline— 12-09-2019 Extension Letter Mailed—No 120 Day Deadline—N/A Applicable Regulations: Chapter 153 —Subdivision Regulations 2 REQUEST DETAILS The City of Lake Elmo has received a request from RPS Legacy Desoto (the property owners), for a minor subdivision to divide the 5.69-acre Outlot B of the Inwood 61h Addition into two lots. The purpose of the proposed minor subdivision is to create a 4.4-acre parcel for a planned multiple-family residential development and a 1.29-acre parcel (Outlot A) for future use. The property owner intends to develop the future Outlot A for additional residential land uses. The City's Subdivision regulations allow for certain subdivisions of land to be exempt from the City's requirements for platting when no more than four lots are being created, when no new public infrastructure or rights-of-way or streets are necessary and when the proposed lots meet the minimum road frontage and area requirements of the underlying zoning. The proposed minor subdivision does not require any new public infrastructure or any new public streets as those improvements are in place. Each of the lots the minor subdivision would create exceed the commercial zoning requirements concerning lot size (20,000 square feet)and lot frontage (100 feet). As such,the proposed plat meets all the City requirements for a minor subdivision. CITY ENGINEER REVIEW. I have attached the City Engineer's review comments (dated November 4, 2019) for your consideration. Items of note are as follows and I have included these as recommended conditions of approval. • The Preliminary plat and project plans should be revised to show the proposed lot lines and easements consistent on each set of plans. • Drainage and utility easements must be provided for any public utilities constructed as part of this project, including City-owned watermain and hydrants,with easements shown on the plat and on the project plans. Any watermain lines serving hydrants placed internal to the site require minimum 30-foot-wide easements centered over the hydrants and pipe. These easements must be dedicated to the City and be provided in the City's standard form of easement agreement. • There were a number of other amendments required to the plan for approval,which can be reviewed in the memo. It is a recommended condition of approval that all of these comments be addressed on the plans before the applicant/developer submits a final plat for approval. PARKLAND DEDICATION The proposed development does not propose a public park and staff would not recommend a park land dedication with this proposal. When the City approve the original Inwood Development, the developer dedicated 10.73 acres of parkland to the City. This dedication was 1.16 acres more than was required for parkland dedication for the residential subdivisions north of 5th Street North. The City agreed to apply the 1.16 acres of excess park dedication from those earlier phases of the Inwood development to the multi-family residential area lying south of 51h Street. For this site, the City will apply the 1.16 acre credit toward the park dedication requirement. That means for this 4.4 acre site, the City will collect a park dedication fee for 3.24 acres. The current City Code standard for park dedication for developments in the HDR zoning district is a fee of $4,500 per acre. At $4,500 an acre, the park dedication fee for the 3.24 acres will be $14,500. The City will require the developer to pay this fee before issuing a grading or building permit for the site. 3 DRAFT FINDINGS Staff is recommending that the Planning Commission consider the following findings with regards to the proposed Minor Subdivision: • That the Minor Subdivision is consistent with the Lake Elmo Comprehensive Plan and the Future Land Use Map for this area. • That the Minor Subdivision complies with the minimum lot frontage and area requirements of the City's C—Commercial Zoning District. • That the Minor Subdivision complies with the City's subdivision ordinance and specifically the requirements concerning exceptions to platting. CONDITIONS OF APPROVAL Recommended Conditions of Approval. Staff recommends the following conditions of approval for Inwood 7th addition: 1. All required modifications to the plans as requested by the City Engineer in the review letter dated November 4, 2019 shall be incorporated into the plat and project plans. The City shall approve all plans before releasing the final plat for recording. 2. The developer shall pay a cash contribution of$14,580 in lieu of land for park dedication. 3. The project landscape plan shall be approved by the City's Landscape Architect before recording of the final plat. 4. The final plat shall show a 10-foot-wide drainage and utility easement along all property lines. 5. All easements as requested by the City Engineer and Public Works Department shall be documented on the Final Plat before the execution of the final plat by City Officials. 6. Before recording the Final Plat,the Developer shall enter into a Developers Agreement or Site Work Agreement with the City. This agreement shall be in a form acceptable to the City Attorney and shall delineate who is responsible for the design, construction, and payment of public improvements and other site management and operation considerations including erosion control and construction staging. 7. Final Plat shall be contingent upon the City receiving separate drainage and utility easements in the City's standard form of easement agreement for all off-site development improvements (beyond the plat limits).All off-site easements must be clearly shown on the street,grading and utility plans,with all dimensions labeled. The easements must be obtained before the start of grading or construction. RECCOMENDATION: Staff recommends that the Planning Commission recommend approval of the minor subdivision request from RPS Legacy Desoto (Inwood 7th Addition)to divide Outlot B of Inwood 6th Addition into two separate parcels. Suggested motion: "Move to recommend approval of the Minor Subdivision request(Inwood 7'Addition) to split Outlot B of Inwood 6"Addition into two lots, subject to the conditions of approval as listed in the City staff report."

The site plans must be revised to address Fire Code requirements for emergency access roads. Access roads must be identified with signage and markings. Aerial Fire Apparatus Access Roads must be a minimum of 26- feet wide. 6. Construction parking and staging (preservation of 5th Street North or Island Trail). As part of any development or site improvement agreement the developer will be required to manage all construction parking,construction staging and material deliveries internal to the site. No parking and construction staging, including loading and unloading materials and equipment will be allowed along 5th Street North or Island Trail at any time during the construction of the site improvements and buildings. All street and boulevard damage caused by the construction activities must be repaired or replaced at no cost to the City and meeting City standards and specifications. 7. Landscaping. The landscape plans must be revised to maintain all tree plantings outside of the front, side and rear drainage and utility easements. STORMWATER MANAGEMENT 1. A State and South Washington Watershed District (SWWD) permit will be required. The site plan is subject to a storm water management plan meeting State, SWWD and City rules and regulations. 2. No additional storm water BMPs are proposed or needed. The proposed site was designed as part of the Inwood development to accommodate 75%impervious surfaces for both storm water rate and volume control. The proposed 68-unit Phase 1 Apartment together with the future Phase 2 Apartment building to be located on Lot 1, Block 1 will contain 53%impervious surfaces.Stormwater management will be handled by the existing storm water pond and infiltration basin located to the south of the proposed site. 3. The applicant is proposing a private storm sewer system internal to the proposed Lot 1, Block 1 apartment site to collect and convey storm water runoff.The storm water will be discharged to the existing City owned storm water pond and infiltration basin located to the south of the proposed site that was constructed as part of the Inwood PUD development and will be turned over to the City upon acceptance of the Inwood PUD 1st Addition development improvements. 4. The internal storm sewer system must be sized and designed to accommodate the Phase 2 Apartment building and impervious surfaces, and the future development for Outlot A. No additional direct discharge to the City storm water pond will be permitted. 5. A storm sewer stub must be constructed from CBMH-101 to Outlot A to accommodate a connection for storm water runoff from Outlto A future development.The 18-inch RCP pipe should be upsized accordingly,if needed. 6. The storm sewer system constructed for this development will remain privately owned and maintained. The applicant will be required to execute and record a Stormwater Maintenance and Easement Agreement in the City's standard form of agreement. The agreement should provide a maintenance plan defining the maintenance responsibilities for the private owner, the type of maintenance and the maintenance intervals, including minimum cleaning frequencies for the sump manhole. MUNICIPAL WATER SUPPLY 1. The proposed property is located in the Southwest Planning MUSA and high-pressure zone water system. 2. Water availability charges and connection charges will apply to the service connections. A Met Council SAC determination will be required to determine the WAC/Connection charges for the development. 3. Connection to the municipal water supply is readily available to serve this property. The applicant will be required to connect, at its sole cost, to the existing 8-inch DIP stub that was installed to serve this property located along Island Trail, as shown on the proposed utility plans. 4. The applicant will be responsible to place hydrants and gate valves throughout the property at the direction of the Fire Department and Public Works Department. All fire hydrants and connecting watermains shall be owned and maintained by the City. 5. Any watermain lines and hydrants placed internal to the site will require minimum 30-foot easements centered over the hydrant or pipe. Easements must be dedicated to the City and be provided in the City's standard form PAGE 2 of 3 of easement agreement. Easements have been shown on the proposed plat accordingly, however, easement revisions may be required as changes are made to the watermain and hydrant layout. 6. The watermain plans must be updated to show both the Phase 1 and Phase 2 watermain/hydrant layout for Lot 1, Block 1 to ensure the Phase 1 watermain plans are installed efficiently for both the proposed and future development.The applicant may be required to construct a looped watermain with a second connection point, depending upon site layout. 7. The project proposes to extend a 6-inch DIP watermain internal to the site with a hydrant placed near the rear of the proposed building. This watermain may need to be upgraded to an 8-inch DIP pipe based on fire suppression requirements. The applicant must submit fire suppression requirements for the building to determine the size of watermain up to each hydrant. MUNICIPAL SANITARY SEWER • The proposed property is located in the Southwest Planning MUSA current Regional Sewer Staging Plan and would discharge to the MCES WONE Interceptor. • Sewer availability charges and connection charges will apply to the service connections. A Met Council SAC determination will be required to determine the SAC/Connection charges for each building. • Connection to the municipal sanitary sewer system is readily available to serve this property.The applicant will be required to connect,at its sole cost,to the existing 8-inch PVC stub that was installed to serve this property located along Island Trail, as shown on the proposed utility plans. No public sanitary sewer mains are proposed to be extended internal to the site. • The sanitary sewer plans must be updated to show both the Phase 1 and Phase 2 sanitary sewer connections for Lot 1, Block 1 to ensure the Phase 1 sanitary sewer plans are installed efficiently for both the proposed and future development. PAGE 3 of 3 THE CITY OF LAKE ELMO STAFF REPORT DATE: 11/13/19 REGULAR ITEM#: TO: Planning Commission FROM: Ken Roberts, Planning Director AGENDA ITEM: Preliminary Plat and Preliminary Planned Unit Development(PUD) Request-Lake Elmo Inwood Apartments (5t" Street North) REVIEWED BY: Ben Prchal, City Planner BACKGROUND: The City has received a request from RPS Legacy LLC for the approval of the preliminary Planned Unit Development(PUD)Plan for a 3-story, 68 unit rental housing development to be known has Lake Elmo Inwood Apartments. This development is proposed for a 4.4 acre parcel on the south side of 5'Street North,just west of Island Trail. ISSUE BEFORE THE PLANNING COMMISSION: The Planning Commission is being asked to review the preliminary plat and preliminary PUD plans, hold a public hearing provide feedback and then make a recommendation to the City Council about the proposal. PROPOSAL DETAILS/ANALYSIS: Applicant: RPS Legacy Desoto,2935 Country Drive, Little Canada MN 55117 Property Owners: RPS Legacy Desoto,Little Canada MN 55117 Location: Outlot B,Inwood 6t1i Addition. Part of PID Number 33.029.21.13.0017 Request: Application for Preliminary Planned Unit Development(PUD) approval. Existing Land Use and Zoning: Open field; future development site within the Inwood PUD. Current: HDR PUD(Urban High Density-PUD) Surrounding Land Use and Zoning: North—Existing homes across 5t1i Street;East—Future High density residential site across Island Trail;West—Future commercial use and site of approved Kwik Trip facility; South— Outlot C,Inwood(ponding area) Comprehensive Plan: MU-C(mixed use commercial) History: The City Council approved the general concept plan for the Inwood PUD on September 16,2014,the preliminary plat on December 2, 2014 and the Final Plat on May 19, 2015 for Phase 1. Since then,the City has approved several additions for the Inwood PUD, primarily for property north of 5'Street North. On October 15,2019,the City Council approved the minor subdivision for the Inwood 6t' Addition and a conditional use permit for a future Kwik Trip facility to be located on the corner of Inwood Avenue and 5t1i Street North. 1 DeadlineforAction: Application Complete— 10-11-2019 60 Day Deadline— 12-09-2019 Extension Letter Mailed—No 120 y Deadline—N/A Applicable Regulations: Chapter 153 —Subdivision Regulations Article VII—Specific Development Standards Article XI—HDR(High Density Residential)District City of Lake Elmo Design Guidelines and Standards Manual PROPOSAL DETAILS/ANALYSIS: Ownership and Management: It is staff s understanding that the applicant will own and manage the proposed apartment building. Inwood PUD History. As noted above,the City approved the concept plan and the preliminary plat for the Inwood PUD in 2014. The approved concept plan showed a variety of land uses for the area south of 5`h Street including commercial buildings near Inwood Avenue, an apartment building on the corner of 5' Street and Island Trail and 4 and 8-unit residential buildings for the area east of Island Trail. Site Plan.The proposed site plan includes a 3-story, 68-unit apartment building with a clubhouse area and with underground and surface parking. As shown,the apartment building would be located on the southwest corner of 51}i Street North and Island Trail with the vehicle entrance on Island Trail. The site plan also shows a future apartment building to the west of the proposed apartment building. This future building is not part of this development review and approval but having it on the plans shows the developer's long-term vision for the site. The apartment building would include amenities for the residents including a fitness room,management office,community room and an outdoor patio and grilling area. This building also would have indoor parking for 70 motor vehicles and 65 outdoor parking stalls. Minor Subdivision/Preliminary Plat The applicant also has requested City-approval of a minor subdivision to divide Outlot B of the Inwood 6t'Addition into 2 lots. The proposed minor subdivision would create a 4.4 acre lot for which they have requested City approval of a two-phase multiple-family housing development and the other parcel would be 1.29 acres reserved for future use. (I review the proposed minor subdivision in greater detail in a separate report). Land Use/Comprehensive Plan Land Use. The land use map in the 2040 Comprehensive Plan update shows this site designated as MU- C(mixed use commercial). The proposed 2040 Plan notes"this designation is a new land use and identifies where a mix of commercial and residential uses may be integrated to benefit from proximity and adjacencies to each other. Commercial uses in this category include service and retail uses such as, but not limited to,restaurants, shops, convenience stores, salons, studios and dry cleaners. Land with this designation is assumed to develop with a minimum of 50 percent residential use with a density ranging from 10-15 dwelling units per acre." 2 In this case,the applicant is proposing a development with 68 dwelling units(in Phase One) on 4.4 net acres. This calculates to 15.45 dwelling units per net acre thus exceeding the density limits set for this area in the 2040 Comprehensive Plan. At 15 dwelling units per net acre,this site could accommodate 66 units. (Please see the Density Analysis below for more information about this.) Density Review and Calculations. The 2040 City land use plan map shows the area south of 51h Street in the Inwood PUD planned for MU-C (mixed use commercial,HDR(high density residential)and PSP (public facilities)land uses. The 2040 land use plan allows residential development in the MU-C and HDR designated areas of up to 15 units per acre. For the area south of 51}i Street in the Inwood PUD, there are 29.67 acres of land(including the ponding area)that can be used for residential density calculations. At 15 units per acre,the 29.67 acres could accommodate up to 445 total residential units. (Please see the attached PUD Density Exhibit that shows the parcels and the density calculations for this area). In this case,the proposed development includes 68 dwelling units in the first phase and another 63 units in the second phase on a 4.4 acre parcel. (That would be 29. 8 units per acre for this part of the Inwood PUD). The developer is asking the City to allow the higher density on this corner and then only allow lower residential densities throughout the remainder of the Inwood PUD. The developer wants flexibility from the City as to where they place the units south of 51}i Street while not exceeding the total allowed number of units in the PUD. That is,they are not proposing to exceed the overall maximum density of 445 residential units for the land south of 5t'Street. Staff does not have a big concern with this request for the use of density since it is part of an approved PUD. The City will need to ensure there is documentation in place in the City files and in the resolutions that clearly states how the density is calculated and that the overall PUD density for the area south of 5t1i Street in Inwood cannot exceed 445 residential units. Site Character. The site is vacant,has been rough-graded and is relatively flat. The site generally slopes to the south and southwest from 5'Street North toward the existing ponding area. Vehicular Access. The project plans show one driveway into the site from Island Trail that is about 300 feet south of 5'Street North. The driveway then splits to provide access to the underground parking and to the surface parking area and the primary entrance into the apartment building. This driveway also will serve as the vehicle access for the future apartment building to the west of the proposed apartment building. The City Engineer's review memo(attached)provides more details about streets and access for this site. His comments included the need to share the driveway on Island Trail with the future development site to the south and the need for a second access to the site. The most logical location for the second access would be to extent the driveway on the south side of the apartment buildings to the west to the future driveway on the site of the commercial development. Trails and Pedestrian Access. There is an existing sidewalk along 5t'Street North and along the west side of Island Trail. The proposed project plans show several sidewalks connecting the proposed building with the existing sidewalks adjacent to this site.These sidewalks would provide pedestrian access to the first level units in the new building and to the main entrance of the building adjacent to the parking lot. Setbacks.The proposed site plan shows the building meeting or exceeding a 30-foot setback from 5t' Street North and from Island Trail. All the building setbacks meet or exceed the minimum 20-foot setback required by code as proposed. Impervious Surfaces. According to the applicant,the proposed site plan has 53 percent of the site as impervious surface(buildings,pavement and hardscape)and 47 percent of the site with pervious surfaces (green space and landscape areas). The City Code for development in the HDR Zoning district requires 3 that at least 25 percent of the site have pervious surfaces(a maximum of 75 percent impervious) so,as proposed,the site plan for this PUD meets this requirement. Proposed Unit Breakdown.The number of units in the proposed building(Phase 1)is 68. The following provides a breakdown of the proposed unit types and the number of units of each: Unit Type Number of Units Total Number of Units Apartment Building Studios 7 7 1-Bedroom 40 40 2-Bedroom 21 21 Total 68 68 Proposed Design. According the project architect,the exterior of the building will have three primary materials—blonde brick anchoring the corners and fiber cement lap siding(Hardi-plank) in a dark grey will cover much of the exterior. They also are proposing to have cement panels in a sage green color to provide pop of color and visual interest. About 30 percent of each of the elevations would have glazing (glass). The elevations are broken up with various insets and protruding 2-story bays to break up the facades so they are not long and flat. As proposed,the building would have a flat roof. The design of the building will need to meet the intent and purpose of the Lake Elmo Design Guidelines and Standards by following the listed design goals and standards for style,themes,materials and colors. I discuss these in more detail below. Adherence to Lake Elmo Design Guidelines and Standards. The proposed exterior design of the building is not typical of the design of buildings in Lake Elmo— especially residential buildings. With its variety of exterior materials and colors and a flat roof, I would describe the design of the proposed apartment building as having a modern industrial look. This design is not necessarily bad,but it is different for Lake Elmo—especially the flat roof. After studying the proposed apartment building design,I researched the topic of modern apartment building design to gain more insights into current design trends. While doing this research I found an article written by Patrick Sisson dated December 4,2018 titled"Why do all new apartment buildings look the same?"that explains why many of the design elements are now in use for apartment buildings in the United States. This article touches on many of the design elements the developer is proposing for this apartment building and the reasons why developers around the United States currently use them in apartment buildings. The Lake Elmo Design Guidelines and Standard Manual includes standards for site design including building placement, streetscape,landscaping and parking. There also are goals and standards for building design,building materials, scale and mass,roof design, entries and lighting in the Design Guidelines Manual. The Manual states that for residential development, "the intent of the design standards is to provide housing of a high aesthetic quality with open or recreation spaces integrated directly into the site."For this proposal,the exterior building design is worthy of a more detailed review than those the City has recently approved. As I noted above,the proposed building exterior would have a variety of materials and colors and flat roof that gives the building a modern industrial look. 4 For form and fagade,the Manual has a goal stating"Standards are intended to ensure high quality design, encourage creativity and promotes visually appealing development,thereby cultivating a sense of place and identity." Relevant standards listed in this part of the Manual include: • Blank facades without windows and doors are discouraged. All sides of structures shall have architectural treatments. • Flat panel exterior and garage doors are discouraged. • Ground level of multi-family structures should be distinguished architecturally from upper levels to provide human scale elements for pedestrians. For Building Materials,the Goal in the Manual states"to offer variety of attractive and quality buildings materials that will shape the identity and visual interest of residential development in Lake Elmo." The relevant standards listed in this section include: • All structure facades should use multiple building materials. • Siding materials should emphasize horizontal lines to reduce the appearance of height and mass. • Multiple fagade colors are encouraged as long as they are balanced and consistent. • Primary building materials for residential structures should include brick, finished wood, stone, quality metals, glass, cast-stone or pre-cast concrete panels with aggregate,banding,texturing or other decorative finish. • Exposed exterior building materials such as brick, stone,wood or stucco should be authentic. Simulated materials also may be used if demonstrated to be of high quality and approved by the City. • Roofing materials should consist of composition shingles,wood shakes or clay or stone tiles. Metal used as a roofing material must incorporate ribs or standing seams to be acceptable. Scale and Mass. For this section of the Manual,the goal states"To establish parameters for building horizontally and vertically with a human scale in mind." For this proposal,the relevant standards include: • Building volume should be broken up with recesses and projections such as balconies,bay windows, dormers,porches and other features that provide variation and identity. • Mass should be reduced through fagade articulation,breaking up the wall area into smaller sections. • Structures of two-stories or higher should have articulated facades to minimize the appearance of mass, as well as multiple roof lines with corresponding gables. • Scale should be reduced by used"step-down"methods towards the public street. Porches, entries,window-bays or bump-outs are effective in this regard. Roof Design. Goal: "To break up monotonous roof lines, add architectural detail and screen rooftop equipment." This section as the following relevant standards: • All rooftop equipment and must be screened using materials consistent with the overall architecture,particularly on roofs that are visible from adjacent buildings. • Multiple peaks and ridgelines are encouraged to promote greater visual interest. Note: There is no requirement in the Lake Elmo Design Guidelines and Standards Manual that residential properties have a peaked roof 5 Entries. Goal: "To encourage entryways of high architectural quality that emphasize access, safety and a human scale." For this goal,the relevant standards include: • Building entries should incorporate design elements or architectural treatments, such as awnings, columns or cornices to emphasize the primary entryway. • Ground floor residences that adjoin a public street or open space shall have direct access to the public street or open space. All of the building exterior design and materials will need to conform to the design standards in the Lake Elmo Design Guidelines and Standards Manual including those regarding building facades,rooflines, colors entries, lighting and exterior building materials. At first review, it appears the building style and materials will meet or exceed the City's design standards for multiple-family structures. It appears that the project meets the Lake Elmo Design Guidelines and Standards in that: • The proposed structure is located and oriented in a manner that allows for pedestrian accessibility and provides visual interest from the public right-of-way. • The building is located as close to the public street as possible, easily accessible from the street; setbacks are varied slightly;recreational and common spaces are located at the interior or rear of the site. • The parking area does not account for more than 50%of street frontage. • The proposed building would have multiple fagade colors. • As proposed,the building would use exterior building materials consistent with standards for residential buildings in Lake Elmo including brick, glass, cement siding and cement panels. • The proposed building will articulated facades to minimize the appearance of mass. • Examples of past developments adhere to building design requirements. It is a recommended condition of final PUD approval that the applicant include a detailed architectural plan proposal (with a listing of colors,materials, etc.) for the building in the development for City approval. City staff will need to verify the proposed exterior design and materials will meet the City's design standards before the City issues a building permit for the apartment building. Parking.The City's Zoning Code requires one parking space per studio and 1 bedroom unit,two parking spaces per 2 and 3 bedroom units and at least one visitor space per four units. With the proposed mix of 68 units,the City Zoning Code requires the developer to provide at least 106 parking spaces on site. In this case,the developer is proposing a total of 131 parking spaces—including 68 garage spaces and 63 surface parking spaces. This computes to a unit parking ratio of 1.93 spaces per unit—above the 1.75 parking spaces per unit required by the City Code. The proposed width and length of parking stalls is compliant with code,and the proposed width (estimated to be 24') is adequate for a 2-way drive aisle width according to the Zoning Code. Of these parking spaces, a total of 2 spaces are proposed to be Americans with Disabilities Act(ADA)-accessible. Engineering Comments.The City Engineer has provided a detailed review memo (dated November 4, 2019)regarding the proposed preliminary PUD Plans. This memo is attached for reference. Staff would like to highlight the following comments in summary: • Preliminary Plat and Easements o The site improvements must be designed and installed to preserve the full width of all easement utility corridors without encroachment. 6 o The preliminary plans must be revised to maintain all tree planting outside of the front, side and rear drainage and utility easements. o Consideration should be given to adjusting the south lot line of Lot 1,Block 1 further north to facilitate a shared commercial driveway access between Lot 1,Block 1 and Outlot A. (See note below about access from Island Trail). • Site Plans, Traffic and Access Management o No parking and construction staging,including the loading and unloading of materials and equipment will be allowed at any time on 5`'Street North or on Island Trail during the construction of the site improvements and buildings. All street, curb and boulevard damage caused by the construction activities must be repaired or replaced at no cost to the City and meeting City standards and specifications. o The site plans must be revised to address Fire code requirements for emergency access roads. All access roads must be identified with signage and markings. Aerial Fire Apparatus Access Roads must be a minimum of 26-feet wide. o A secondary access for Lot 1,Block 1 is required to meet the Fire Code. The secondary access should connect to the shared driveway for Outlot A of the Inwood PUD 6' Addition(to the west). No additional access along 51}i Street North will be allowed from either Phase 1 or Phase 2 development on Lot 1,Block 1. o The proposed site access from Island trail must be designed as a shared driveway access for both Lot 1,Block 1 and Outlot A,Inwood 71}i Addition(to the south), in order to allow for two potential access, as may be required by the fire code,for future development of Outlot A; or an alternative access plan for both properties must be submitted for review and approval by the City. • Municipal Sanitary Sewer o Sanitary sewer is readily available to the site. The applicant or developer will be responsible for connecting to the City sanitary sewer system located along Island Trail as shown on the proposed utility plans. o The sanitary sewer plans must be updated to show both the Phase 1 and Phase 2 sanitary sewer connections for Lot 1,Block 1 to ensure the Phase 1 sanitary sewer plans are installed efficiently for both the proposed and future development. • Municipal Water Supply o The existing City water system is readily available to this site. The applicant will be required to connect,at its sole cost,to the existing 8-inch DIP stub that was installed to serve this property located along Island Trail,as shown on the utility plans. o A minimum 8-inch diameter watermain within the site may be required based on fire suppression requirements. o The applicant will be responsible to place fire hydrants and gate valves throughout the property at the direction of the Fire Department and the Public Works Department. All fire hydrants and connecting watermains shall be owned and maintained by the City. o Any watermain lines and fire hydrants placed within the development will require 30- foot-wide utility easements centered over the hydrant or pipe. These easements must be dedicated to the City and provided in the City's standard form of easement agreement. Easements have been shown on the proposed plat accordingly,however,the City may require revisions to the easements as changes are made to the watermain and hydrant layout. o The watermain plans must be updated to show both Phase 1 and Phase 2 watermain and hydrant layout for Lot 1,Block 1 to ensure the Phase 1 watermain plans are installed efficiently for both the proposed and future development. The applicant may be required to construct a looped watermain with a second connection point, depending on the site layout. 7 • Stormwater Management o The proposed development is subject to the construction of a storm water management plan and system that meets State, South Washington Watershed District(SWWD)and City rules. All Stormwater facilities need to be designed and installed in accordance with City and South Washington Watershed District(SWWD)rules and requirements. o No additional storm water BMP's are proposed or needed. The proposed site was designed as part of the Inwood development. Stormwater management will be handled by the existing storm water pond and infiltration basin located to the south of the proposed site. o All stormwater facilities constructed for this development are to remain privately owned and maintained. The City will require the applicant or developer to execute and record of a Stormwater Maintenance and Easement Agreement with the City in its standard form. This agreement should provide a maintenance plan defining the maintenance responsibilities for the private owner,the type of maintenance and the maintenance intervals,including the minimum cleaning frequencies for the sump manhole. o Even as privately owned and maintained facilities,the City requires the developer to provide maintenance access roads or drives that meet City engineering design standards for all storm water facilities. South Washington Watershed District Comments: I have not received comments from Matt Moore from the South Washington Watershed District about this proposal. However, City staff is aware that the project will require a South Washington Watershed District(SWWD)permit. Once the applicant submits a complete SWWD permit application,they will review it for conformance to the SWWD rules and regulations. Stormwater Management and Storm Sewer System Improvements.The proposed development site is in the South Washington Watershed District(SWWD). The design of the storm water management systems must be compliant with the requirements of the State, SWWD,the City of Lake Elmo Storm Water Management Ordinance, and the City of Lake Elmo design standards manual. The applicant is advised to fully read and comprehend the City's storm water and erosion control ordinance since these standards are different, and in some cases more stringent,than the watershed district. The City Engineer's review memo further addresses the stormwater management considerations and requirements for this development. Tree Removal and Preservation. The applicant submitted an existing conditions plan and a site landscape plan for this development. These plans do not show any existing trees on the site except the boulevard trees along 5t'Street North. Landscaping. The applicant provided the City with a detailed landscaping plan for the development that shows the installation of a mix of trees, ornamental trees and shrubs and flowering plants throughout the site. The City's Landscape Architect has reviewed the proposed landscape plans for this development and found the plans are not in compliance with all City Code requirements. (Please see the comments from Lucius dated October 30,2019). He noted that the proposed plans show the planting of not enough trees(30 proposed, 33 required) and that the proposed mix of trees does not meet code requirements. As proposed,there would be too many ornamental trees planted as a percentage(43 percent proposed, 15 percent maximum) of the total number of trees. The City should require the applicant to revise the landscape plans to meet or exceed the City's requirements before submitting plans for final PUD approval for this phase of the development. All tree planting and landscape plans will subject to review and approval by the City's Landscape Architect before the City releases or approves a grading or building permit for this development. 8 Building Official and Fire Chief Review. The Building Official and Fire Chief have reviewed the proposed Phase 1 development plan and have provided several comments. Specifically,the Fire Chief noted: • FDC (Fire Department Connection)location to be approved by Fire Chief • Locations and spacing of fire hydrants to meet requirements of 300' spacing by road. Will need to add hydrant at entrance to underground garage. Also show hydrant locations along 5'Street and Island Trail as they are needed for this proposal and more may need to be added. • Ensure roads(driveways) are built to current standards with proper turning radius. • Lockbox location approved by Fire Chief • Location of Annunciator Panel approved by Fire Chief • All applicable codes from the 2015 MN State Fire Code. o APPENDIX D,FIRE APPARATUS ACCESS ROADS has been adopted and is applicable. With special attention to the following: ■ SECTION D104, COMMERCIAL AND INDUSTRIAL DEVELOPMENTS requires two means of apparatus access. ■ SECTION D105,AERIAL FIRE APPARATUS ACCESS ROADS,based on building height,requires a 26'road width. • Identify NO PARKING/FIRE LANE locations and ensure proper signage and markings. The City Building Official(Kevin Murphy) also provided me with comments about the concept plan. He noted the following: • Plans shall be prepared an Architect, Structural Engineer and Mechanical Engineer. • The plumbing plans shall be submitted to the State for review. • The elevator requires a permit issued by DOLI(Minnesota Department of Labor and Industry). • All fire suppression plans shall be submitted to the State Fire Marshall's Division for review. Consistency with Urban High Density Zoning District. The City has zoned the property Urban High Density Residential(HDR)as part of the Inwood PUD.As such, staff reviewed the proposed PUD Plans against the standards including setbacks, impervious coverage, etc. of the Urban High Density Residential zoning district, as shown below. Standard Required Pro osed Impervious Surface (Maximum) 75 percent 53 percent Minimum Lot Width 60 feet 522 feet on 51h Street North Front Yard Setback 5t'Street N. 20 feet 30 feet Interior Side Yard 10 feet 55 feet Corner Side Yard 15 feet 30 feet(to Island Trail) Rear Yard Setback 20 feet 100 feet Accessory Building Setbacks 10 feet N.A. (none proposed) Maximum Building Height 50 feet 35 feet Detached Structures 1,000 square feet maximum None proposed Parking Not to be located in the front Parking is located in rear and yard or between the front interior to the site,not in the fagade and street. front or side yards Open space 200 square feet of common 20,000 square feet(approx.). _ open space provided per unit. 0.46 acres(294 square feet per unit) 9 In this case, at least 13,600 square feet. Consistency with Planned Unit Development Regulations.The applicant has requested City approval of the preliminary PUD plans for this development. Staff has reviewed the proposed plan for its consistency with requirements of Article XVII: Planned Unit Development(PUD)Regulations and has found the following: • Intent.The intent of a PUD is to provide for flexibility in the use of land and the placement and size of buildings in order to better utilize site features and obtain a higher quality of development. The City approved a PUD for the overall Inwood Development in 2014 and this proposal is another phase of that PUD. • Identified Objectives.When reviewing requests for PUDs,the City is to consider whether one or more objectives as outlined in Section 154.751: Identified Objectives of the Zoning Code will be served or is achieved. Staff has found that the proposed development would meet the following objectives: A. Innovation inland development techniques that maybe more suitable for a given parcel than conventional approaches. • The proposed development is the latest phase of the Inwood development and is generally consistent with the city-approved Inwood PUD plans. B. Promotion of integrated land use, allowing a mixture of residential, commercial and public facilities. • The proposed development is another housing type in the existing and expected mixture of housing types in an area. The City is expecting and approved a variety of land uses within the Inwood PUD including commercial development to the west, single-family homes to the north(across 51}i Street North) and the vacant properties to the east and across Island Trail that are planned for medium and high density housing. C. Provision of a more adequate, usable, and suitably located open space, recreational amenities and other public facilities than would otherwise be provided under conventional land development techniques. • The proposed development is part of the city-approved Inwood PUD that included recreational amenities for residents in the area including a future park and trails. D. Accommodation of housing of all types with convenient access to employment opportunities and/or commercial facilities; and especially to create additional opportunities for senior and affordable housing. • The proposed development will provide additional multi-family housing opportunities within the City, as there are currently very few multi-family residential buildings in Lake Elmo. J. Higher standards of site and building design than would otherwise be provided under conventional land development technique. • The City may impose design guidelines and standards on high density residential development such as this proposal. Staff has provided an extensive review of the building design in greater detail on pages four-six of this report. 10 a. Minimum Requirements.PUDs must meet the following minimum requirements: A. Lot Area.A PUD must include a minimum of 5 acres for undeveloped land or 2 acres for developed land within the approved development. • The proposed development is a phase of the City approved Inwood PUD. B. Open Space: For all PUDs, at least 20%of the project area not within street rights-of-way to be preserved as protected open space. Other public or site amenities may be approved as an alternative to this requirement. Any required open space must be available to the residents, tenants, or customers of the PUD for recreational purposes or similar benefit. Land reserved for storm water detention facilities and other required site improvements may be applied to this requirement. Open space shall be designed to meet the needs of residents of the PUD and the surrounding neighborhoods, to the extent practicable,for parks, playgrounds,playing fields and other recreational facilities. • The proposed development is a Phase of the Inwood PUD the City initially approved in 2014.The overall PUD as approved by the City showed areas for open space,parks and trails north of 5t'Street. The applicant is not proposing any additional open space with this phase of the development. C. Street Layout... In newly developing areas, streets shall be designed to maximize connectivity in each cardinal direction, except where environmental or physical constraints make this infeasible.All streets shall terminate at other streets, at public land, or at a park or other community facility, except that local streets may terminate in stub streets when those will be connected to other streets in future phases of the development or adjacent developments. • The proposed development site has about 522 feet of frontage on 51}i Street North. The applicant is not proposing any new public streets but rather one private driveway from Island Trail to serve the development that will need to meet City spacing and access management standards. It is a recommended condition of approval that the developer address all the comments outlined in the Engineering memo dated November 4, 2019,before submitting plans for a final plat and final PUD approval for this site. Parkland Dedication. The proposed development does not propose a public park and City staff would not recommend a park land dedication with this proposal. When the City approve the original Inwood Development,the developer dedicated 10.73 acres of parkland to the City. This dedication was 1.16 acres more than was required for parkland dedication for the residential subdivisions north of 5t'Street North. The City agreed to apply the 1.16 acres of excess park dedication from those earlier phases of the Inwood development to the multi-family residential area lying south of 51}i Street. For this site,the City will apply the 1.16 acre credit toward the park dedication requirement. That means for this 4.4 acre site,the City will collect a park dedication fee for 3.24 acres. The current City Code standard for park dedication for developments in the HDR zoning district is a fee of$4,500 per acre. At $4,500 an acre,the park dedication fee for the 3.24 acres will be $14,580. The City will require the developer to pay this fee before issuing a grading or building permit for the site. Easements. The City will require the applicant to dedicate 10-foot-wide drainage and utility easements along all property lines and drainage and utility easements for watermains and fire hydrants as they will become public infrastructure. The City also may require other easements as the applicant refines their project plans—especially around the elements of the stormwater management system. Watering Ban. Due to a shortage of water,the City may need to implement severe watering restrictions in the City in the future. This could include limiting or prohibiting the use water outside including for 11 vehicle washing and for watering grass and landscaping. This could affect future home builders,buyers and renters as there may be a limited supply of water available for outdoor uses. It may be wise for the City to put a condition on this plat to require the owner/developer to inform the renters of the units about the possible outdoor watering restrictions. Recommended Findings. Staff recommends approval of the Preliminary Plat and Preliminary PUD Plan for the proposed Lake Elmo Apartment Project in the Inwood 7'Addition as proposed by RPS DeSoto Legacy based on the following findings: 1. That the Preliminary PUD Plan meets the general intent of the Mixed Use Commercial(MU-C) Land Use designation in the Comprehensive Plan and the Urban High Density Residential(HDR) zoning district with PUD modifications. 2.

Lake Elmo, MN 55042 RE: Inwood Multifamily Development Dear City of Lake Elmo: We are excited to introduce the First Phase of our planned 445 units of multifamily housing in the Inwood High Density Residential Neighborhood. The proposed Collage Architects designed three-story building consists of 68 units of market rate apartments with both below grade and on-site parking. A detailed project description is attached. The land use and density of the project are consistent with the City's Comprehensive Plan which provides for a graduation of land use intensity over the master planned development site. No changes to the plan or variances are necessary as a result of the application. The Hans Hagen Single Family Neighborhood was designed to lessen impacts on single family homeowners with the use of cul-de-sac lots, landscaped berms, landscaped medians, storm water ponding and a linear park. A detailed Market Study was completed by Maxfield Research and Consulting. The study assessed demographic, economic, and market characteristics for multifamily housing and concludes that there is considerable demand for both market rate general occupancy and active adult senior housing on our site. If everything goes as planned, construction will commence in the Spring of 2020 with additional phases constructed over an approximately 7-year period. We look forward to working with the City of Lake Elmo on this exciting project and we are available to answer any questions or provide additional information.

The site offers great proximity to a variety of local restaurants, shopping, grocery stores, and parks. The proposed building fagade has three major materials. Blonde brick anchors three corners of the building;this brick is accented with complimenting darker brick between, and at,the community building. Fiber cement lap siding in a dark grey provides a neutral color.Throughout the project, cement panels in a sage green provide a pop of color and visual interest.The building is broken up with various insets and protruding 2-story bays. The building offers many amenities to the residents including on site leasing office, fitness room,yoga studio, community room, and an outdoor patio and grilling area.The site has both paved areas for parking along the SW portion of the site and green space and trees along 5th Street N and Island Trail. Surrounding the building is a mix of medium to low shrubs, as well as larger trees for shade. Public sidewalks along the street are connected to the Vt level walk-up patios.The landscaping provides visual interest from the public streets, brings the fagade down to a human scale, and meets the design standards for the City of Lake Elmo.

The bland, boxy apartment boom is a design issue, and a housing policy problem By Patrick Sisson Dec 4, 2018, 12:34pm EST t t 4 s; EMO �k,� t Shutterstock PROPERTY LINES Property Lines is a column by Curbed senior reporter Patrick Sisson that spotlights real estate trends and hot housing markets across the country. Comments,tips,and suggestions on where Property Lines should head next are welcome of potrick@curbed.com. A wave of sameness has washed over new residential architecture. U.S. cities are filled with apartment buildings sporting boxy designs and somewhat bland facades, often made with colored panels and flat windows. Due to an Ainazon-fueled apartment construction boom over the last decade, Seattle has been an epicenter of this new school of structural simulacra. But Seattle is not alone. https://www.curbed.com/2018/12/4/18125536/real-estate-modern-apartment-architecture 1/8 11/4/2019 Why do all new apartment buildings look the same?-Curbed Nearly every city, from Charlotte to Minneapolis, has seen a proliferation of homogenous apartments as construction has increased again in the wake of the financial recession. A Twitter query seeking to name this ubiquitous style was a goldmine. Some suggestions seemed inspired by the uniformity of design in computer programs and games: Simcityism, SketchUp contemporary, Minecraftsman, or Revittecture. Some took potshots at the way these buildings looked value-engineered to maximize profit: Developer modern, McUrbanism, or fast-casual architecture. Then there are the aesthetic judgement calls: contemporary contempt, blandmarks, LoMo (low modern), and Spongebuild Squareparts. "Part of what people are responding to isn't the building themselves, it's that there are so many of them going up so quickly, all in the same places in the city," says Richard Mohler, an associate professor of architecture at the University of Washington. 1 I Shutterstock Many of the replies to the Twitter call simply pointed out that these buildings are housing, and much-needed housing at that. Though they can be defined or classified by aesthetics, this wave of new apartments is perhaps best described as a symbol of today's https://www.curbed.com/20 1 8/1 2/4/1 81 25536/real-estate-modern-apartment-architecture 2/8 11/4/2019 Why do all new apartment buildings look the same?-Curbed housing problems: a lack of developable land; rising land, material, and labor costs; and an acute need to find more affordable places for people to live. "At the end of the day, if you line up multifamily apartments from Boston, San Francisco, and Miami that have been built in the last decade, you're going to see a very strong pattern," says Scott Black, senior vice president of Bristol Development, a Nashville- based firm that develops apartments across the Southeast. Good architecture should always respond to the local context. In the case of these buildings, the local economic context just happens to be the same in just about every major U.S. city. "Critics don't understand what we're working with, the parameters and the financial constraints," says Black. "It's like any other business: If you're selling autos or selling widgets, there are certain costs, and a certain profit you need to make to do business in the future." rp V Shutterstock It boils down to code, costs, and craft https://www.curbed.com/2018/12/4/18125536/real-estate-modern-apartment-architecture 3/8 11/4/2019 Why do all new apartment buildings look the same?-Curbed Perhaps the biggest constraint in the urban U.S. apartment market, a $61 billion annual industry, is the amount of available space. Many cities zone with an overwhelming preference for detached, single-family homes, with small corridors in downtowns or dense areas set aside for large, multistory towers. In Seattle, for instance, roughly three- quarters of residential land is zoned for single-family homes. That means new apartments are forced to cluster in small areas of the city, amplifying the impact of a rash of new, similar buildings. The buildings themselves are an effort to fit within the small niches made available by local building and zoning codes. According to Mohler, due to height limits and safety/fire requirements, most of these structures are what's known as "5 over i" or "one-plus-five": wood-framed construction, which contain apartments and is known as Type 5 in the International Building Code, over a concrete base, which usually contains retail or commercial space, or parking structures, known as Type 1. Some codes also mandate a modulated facade, or varying exteriors across adjacent buildings to avoid repetition. Cities' design review boards can add to the pressures caused by zoning. Ideally, these groups work with architects and developers to improve upcoming buildings and make them more compatible with the neighborhood. Mohler says that's not always the case; in some cities, there's a tendency to rubber-stamp structures that have already proven themselves, leading to a formulaic feel. Code constraints, which allow construction on restricted areas, help create the second major restraint: cost. The reason our cities are filled with so much of the same kind of building is because it's the cheapest way to build an apartment. In this case, that's light- frame wood construction, which often uses flat windows that are easy to install; a process called rainscreen cladding to create the skin of the building; as well as Hardie panels, a facade covering made from fiber cement. The need to cut costs limits facade options, says Black. Hardie Panels run roughly $16 a square foot, roughly the same cost as brick. The next upgrade, metal siding, costs from $25 to $5o a square foot, potentially more than triple the cost. "Since we're facing a housing affordability crisis, it makes a certain amount of sense to build a building as affordably as we can," says Mohler. https://www.curbed.com/2018/12/4/18125536/real-estate-modern-apartment-architecture 4/8 11/4/2019 Why do all new apartment buildings look the same?-Curbed According to Black, variation is costly. Many units get made to a standard size, say 12- foot-wide bedrooms. Repeat that a few times per floor, maximized to create rentable space, and you start a domino effect toward generic architecture, because the floor plates end up very similar. Once the interior is laid out, there are ways to make the exterior look more interesting using setbacks, materials, and massing. But giving up space for units and creating more complicated construction plans cuts into profitability. "The bigger issue is construction costs have escalated pretty significantly over the last two years," says Black. "We need to deliver a product within a price point. People don't always understand the margins we work with. We really do want to build something that'll sparkle and shine and look great from the outside. At the end of the day, we feel like we're able to do that." Some critics dismiss the cost issue as a small piece of a larger problem. Michael Paglia, a writer for Westword in Denver, penned a popular piece about his city's rash of bad design, "Denver is Drowning in Awful Architecture." He feels architects aren't just cost- constrained, but are being left out of the equation. Computer-aided design has led to a degradation of the role of architect, Paglia argued, replacing a noble craft with a series of equations that wring every last bit of value out of a site, aesthetics be damned. Formulaic floorplans are cost effective, while good design is considered an unaffordable luxury, concentrated, like so much else, among the 1 percent. "I don't think you can call the designers of these buildings designers or architects," he told Curbed. "I think accountants are designing these buildings." The art of design has become a science, he says, and that's created another important, but less tangible, constraint on new construction—the loss of construction craft. Paglia feels that construction standards, and the expectations renters have of new buildings, have diminished. "Many of the renters living in those buildings don't even know they're terrible," he says. "And as far as cost constraints go, talk to someone in Florence, Italy, where there are numerous constraints on development. Nothing is an excuse for bad design." Mohler agrees that there are tangible difference between the apartments of today and yesteryear. Older apartment buildings have something that the Hardie-clad structures https://www.curbed.com/2018/12/4/18125536/real-estate-modern-apartment-architecture 5/8 11/4/2019 Why do all new apartment buildings look the same?-Curbed lack, a certain texture and materiality. "Today's flat window may be a great product, easy to install and cost-effective," he says. "But the depth of facade on older buildings offers a whole new level of detail and scale." f Shutterstock History judges architecture on a curve Since the constraints creating the conditions for this generic apartment architecture show little sign of abating, cities may be stuck with buildings like these for the foreseeable future. New construction slowed this year after peaking in 2017, but that still means 283,000 new apartments are expected to be finished by the end of the year, many in this generic style. What happens to them further down the road, decades and generations from now? "I don't think these buildings will be around in 40 years. They'll collapse and be maintenance problems," says Paglia. "We'll remember the small sliver of good architecture being built today." Mohler, though, thinks time will play a trick on detractors of today's bland, boxy buildings. He points to neighborhoods of identical bungalows, celebrated and often https://www.curbed.com/201 8/1 2/4/1 81 25536/real-estate-modern-apartment-architecture 6/8 11/4/2019 Why do all new apartment buildings look the same?-Curbed enshrined as historic districts. At the time they were built, in the early half of the loth century, they weren't the product of forward-thinking architects seeking to create character-filled dwellings for today's homeowners to drool over. They were factoring in cost, code, and craft, and creating their own equations to maximize profit and product. Placing them above today's building, often meant to meet contemporary needs for affordable housing, can be, as McMansion Hell's Kate Wagner wrote, a form of"aesthetic moralism." "Many of these houses were the same, and many were completely identical to each other because they were being built by a single developer," Mohler says of past urban developments. "At the time, it was criticized for wasting land and all looking the same. Looking identical today means neighborhood character. If it's old and looks the same, it's good, but if it's new and all looks the same, it's bad." Even Mohler doesn't say these boxy builds will be celebrated in coming decades. But, arising from an era with an acute housing shortage, perhaps they'll have kitsch appeal, or be appreciated for what they represent: a part of the solution to today's housing crisis. "I'm optimistic that people's opinions of these buildings will change over time," he says. "Will they be celebrated? Not likely. But will they be more accepted? Probably." https://www.curbed.com/2018/12/4/18125536/real-estate-modern-apartment-architecture 7/8 FOCUSENGINEERING, inc.

The landscape plans must be revised to maintain all tree plantings outside of the front, side and rear drainage and utility easements. STORMWATER MANAGEMENT 1. A State and South Washington Watershed District (SWWD) permit will be required. The site plan is subject to a storm water management plan meeting State, SWWD and City rules and regulations. 2. No additional storm water BMPs are proposed or needed. The proposed site was designed as part of the Inwood development to accommodate 75%impervious surfaces for both storm water rate and volume control. The proposed 68-unit Phase 1 Apartment together with the future Phase 2 Apartment building to be located on Lot 1, Block 1 will contain 53%impervious surfaces.Stormwater management will be handled by the existing storm water pond and infiltration basin located to the south of the proposed site. 3. The applicant is proposing a private storm sewer system internal to the proposed Lot 1, Block 1 apartment site to collect and convey storm water runoff.The storm water will be discharged to the existing City owned storm water pond and infiltration basin located to the south of the proposed site that was constructed as part of the Inwood PUD development and will be turned over to the City upon acceptance of the Inwood PUD 1st Addition development improvements. 4. The internal storm sewer system must be sized and designed to accommodate the Phase 2 Apartment building and impervious surfaces, and the future development for Outlot A. No additional direct discharge to the City storm water pond will be permitted. 5. A storm sewer stub must be constructed from CBMH-101 to Outlot A to accommodate a connection for storm water runoff from Outlto A future development.The 18-inch RCP pipe should be upsized accordingly,if needed. 6. The storm sewer system constructed for this development will remain privately owned and maintained. The applicant will be required to execute and record a Stormwater Maintenance and Easement Agreement in the City's standard form of agreement. The agreement should provide a maintenance plan defining the maintenance responsibilities for the private owner, the type of maintenance and the maintenance intervals, including minimum cleaning frequencies for the sump manhole. MUNICIPAL WATER SUPPLY 1. The proposed property is located in the Southwest Planning MUSA and high-pressure zone water system. 2. Water availability charges and connection charges will apply to the service connections. A Met Council SAC determination will be required to determine the WAC/Connection charges for the development. 3. Connection to the municipal water supply is readily available to serve this property.

Exceptional outcomes. B. The landscape plan does not include the landscape layout requirements: TreeSpacing ................................................................................. Not Specified • No driveway conflicts; Prefer that the trunk of trees shall be 8-10 feet minimum from the nearest driveway edge. C. Interior Parking Lot Landscaping - The development does include interior parking lots. 1. At least 5% of the interior area of parking lots with more than 30 parking spaces is devoted to landscape planting areas. The parking lot is measured at approximatively 22,808 square feet and a planting bed measuring approximately 6,600 square feet separates the parking lot from the main entrance. The planting area is approximately 34% of the interior of the parking lot area. 2. The planting area includes 7 shade trees satisfying the minimum required tree planting requirements for interior parking lots. D. Perimeter Parking Lot Landscaping - The development does not include perimeter parking lots. E. Screening - Screening is not required by City code. Special Landscape Considerations: A. 51h Street - The development is along 5th Street which has been completed with previous phases of the Inwood development. a. The applicant has marked the existing 5th street boulevard trees to remain which meets the required 5th Street landscaping elements. Findings: 1. Not all code required trees have been provided. 2. Landscape plans do not meet the minimum composition requirements. a. Too many ornamental species have been proposed. Some of the ornamental species should be exchanged for deciduous or evergreen species as they fit site conditions and to meet the minimum composition requirements. 3. Landscape plans do not meet the landscape layout requirements. a. The Boulevard Linden proposed by the entrance drive is located too close to the driveway edge. See attached figure. b. Only two (2) trees are proposed along Island Trail (measured at approximately 270 lineal feet of frontage) and does not fulfill street frontage requirements of one tree every 50 feet. Provide additional trees along Island Trail street frontage to make the streetscape cohesive with the rest of the Inwood development along Island Trail. 3 T:\6443 Lake Elmo\13 Inwood\08 7th Addition\01 Plan Review\2019-10-30 Inwood Landscape Plan Review.docx Ken Roberts Planning Director WENCK City of Lake Elmo October 30, 2019 Responsive partner.

Of 3 x From: Kristi Melrose To: Ken Roberts Subject: Preliminary Plat and Development Stage Planning Unit Development(PUD)Plans Date: Monday,November 4,2019 6:58:55 PM Caution: This email originated outside our organization; please use caution. To whom it may concern, This email is in response to a public hearing notice we received by mail on Friday,November 1, notifying us of the plans to develop Outlot B of the Inwood 6th Addition into an apartment complex. We strongly oppose the placement of this apartment complex. While we know and agree that housing of all kinds are important, our opposition to the proposed location is based on three factors: 1. When we began the building process in the summer of 2015, one of our primary concerns was the planned development of the vacant areas surrounding the new subdivision we were building in,particularly as our home would face one of those vacant areas straight on. We were assured again and again that any new housing would 1)be stand-alone townhomes and 2) would only be constructed in the open areas along Inwood Avenue North and 10th Street. The vacant areas bordering 5th Street North and Island Trail, we were told, would be developed with businesses aimed at building a true community in this area i.e. a gas station, a coffee place, a gym, etc. When the development of Kwik Trip was announced, we were excited because it was clear that Lake Elmo was doing exactly as promised. We eagerly anticipated the announcement of which new business would be built next. Instead, we received a proposal for the construction of a 445 unit apartment complex which will largely bring 7 more years of construction to our neighborhood, significant traffic increases onto a single-lane residential road, increased noise levels, an increase in illumination 24 hours a day (in a city requiring dark sky lighting fixtures), and a rotation of residents moving in and out every month. 2. Apartment complexes, by nature, are aesthetically unpleasant. There are valid reasons that cities like Woodbury and Eagan develop apartment complexes in non-residential areas. No single home resident would buy or build knowing they will have to look out their windows onto a 35' structure filled with people staring back at them and/or staring into the windows of their single level or two story home. In the plans submitted, this appears to also include single family home owners driving by or living across from apartment balconies used to hold bikes, furniture, grills, etc. The use of cut-de-sacs, landscaped berms, landscaped medians will do very, very little to lessen the impact of a 35' building built across from our homes,particularly given the number of trees that were lost on those landscaped berms due to the past two extreme winters. 3. In doing a quick Google search, it is clear that apartment complexes typically result in a decrease in property values for surrounding homes and neighborhoods because of the perceived increase in crime, transient activity, noise, traffic, and an increase of on-street parking along single-family home streets by visitors and/or residents of the apartment complex. These perceptions may be unfair, but they are certainly long-held and will no doubt result in difficulty maintaining the quiet neighborhood reputation we currently enjoy. There is no doubt that these perceptions will also certainly impact our ability, and our neighbors ability, to sell our homes with ease in the future. We implore the city of Lake Elmo to not approve this preliminary plan. Please continue to help stabilize and positively enhance our newly formed single-family neighborhood. Thank you, Don and Kristi Melrose From: Nicolette Bates To: Ken Roberts Subject: Proposed Apartment Complex for Inwood Date: Tuesday,November 5,2019 5:42:01 PM Caution: This email originated outside our organization;please use caution. Hello Ken, I received some information for the proposed apartment complex for Inwood and wanted to voice my concerns as I'm not sure if I will be able to find child care for the evening of the Planning Commission meeting on 11/13. First question is, is this a senior living complex? It isn't 100% clear in the proposal. My concern is the look of the building looks to be sterile and more "institutional" like. Perhaps "modern" is another word that can be used. In looking at the area and the existing architecture (aside from the school), it isn't fitting, nor warm or welcoming. It isn't what my neighborhood or Lake Elmo is all about. Instead, Inwood and Lake Elmo have a sense of "home" and "tradition". This is why I chose to live here, raising my young family. If this is a senior living complex, having parents nearing this stage in life, the proposed design would not be appealing to them whatsoever. They would not want to call a "box" home or be proud to show off their new home. They might as well move into a nursing home to get the same institutional feeling. I hope my opinion will be heard and taken into consideration. Thank you for your time and I look forward to hearing feedback. Kindest Regards, Nicolette Bates 8742 Lower 8th Place Lake Elmo, MN 55042 612-483-3642 From: Scott Mumhv To: Ken Roberts Subject: Inwood Multifamily Development Date: Wednesday,November 6,2019 2:12:27 PM Caution: This email originated outside our organization;please use caution. Ken, This is relative to the proposal from RPS Legacy for the 68 unit apartment building. I live in the Inwood development at 8669 Lower 8th Place N, Lake Elmo, MN 55042. 1 also have served on the Board of Directors for the Inwood HOA since the homeowners took this over from M&I Homes in May of 2018. While I understand the need for multifamily developments in the area, my preference is for townhomes or condos that are owned by the occupants. Owners of townhomes and condos have a vested interest in preserving and enhancing their property values, while apartment dwellers do not. Apartments attract a more transient type of population whose interest is in finding lower rent and therefore, lower property values. Case-in-point is a friend of mine who lives in Maplewood near some apartment buildings where a shooting took place a few months ago and he and his family are in the process of moving to our development to get away from this. He found that his property value has decreased dramatically since the shooting took place at that apartment building near his home. I understand that people live in apartments for a variety of reasons, however, there is always a difference of attitude when people rent vs. own a home, a car, a power tool or anything. Please re-consider this proposal for an apartment building and, instead, solicit proposals for townhomes or condos that can be owned by individual families who can enjoy and who will enhance the value of this beautiful area. Thank you, Scott Murphy Phone 612.875.1102 3 DRAFT FINDINGS Staff is recommending that the Planning Commission consider the following findings with regards to the proposed Minor Subdivision: • That the Minor Subdivision is consistent with the Lake Elmo Comprehensive Plan and the Future Land Use Map for this area. • That the Minor Subdivision complies with the minimum lot frontage and area requirements of the City's C—Commercial Zoning District. • That the Minor Subdivision complies with the City's subdivision ordinance and specifically the requirements concerning exceptions to platting. CONDITIONS OF APPROVAL Recommended Conditions of Approval. Staff recommends the following conditions of approval for Inwood 7th addition: 1. All required modifications to the plans as requested by the City Engineer in the review letter dated November 4, 2019 shall be incorporated into the plat and project plans. The City shall approve all plans before releasing the final plat for recording. 2. The developer shall pay a cash contribution of$14,580 in lieu of land for park dedication. 3. The project landscape plan shall be approved by the City's Landscape Architect before recording of the final plat. 4. The final plat shall show a 10-foot-wide drainage and utility easement along all property lines. 5. All easements as requested by the City Engineer and Public Works Department shall be documented on the Final Plat before the execution of the final plat by City Officials. 6. Before recording the Final Plat,the Developer shall enter into a Developers Agreement or Site Work Agreement with the City. This agreement shall be in a form acceptable to the City Attorney and shall delineate who is responsible for the design, construction, and payment of public improvements and other site management and operation considerations including erosion control and construction staging. 7. Final Plat shall be contingent upon the City receiving separate drainage and utility easements in the City's standard form of easement agreement for all off-site development improvements (beyond the plat limits).All off-site easements must be clearly shown on the street,grading and utility plans,with all dimensions labeled. The easements must be obtained before the start of grading or construction. RECCOMENDATION: Staff recommends that the Planning Commission recommend approval of the minor subdivision request from RPS Legacy Desoto (Inwood 7th Addition)to divide Outlot B of Inwood 6th Addition into two separate parcels. Suggested motion: "Move to recommend approval of the Minor Subdivision request(Inwood 7'Addition) to split Outlot B of Inwood 6"Addition into two lots, subject to the conditions of approval as listed in the City staff report."
