Home My WebLink About#03 Royal Golf ClubSTAFF REPORT DATE: 1/9/17 REGULAR ITEM #: TO: City Council FROM: Emily Becker, Planning Director AGENDA ITEM: Royal Golf Tree Requirements REVIEWED BY: Kristina Handt, City Administrator BACKGROUND: The Royal Golf Club at Lake Elmo Preliminary Landscape Plans included the need for 3800 trees within the entire Royal Golf Club at Lake Elmo Preliminary Plat per Tree Preservation and Landscape requirements. The original number of trees that were required to be planted within the development was approximately 4600, but because the area is heavily wooded and because the language within the tree preservation ordinance requires a minimum of five trees to be planted for every one acre of land that is developed or disturbed, the City made some concessions, and an agreement was made to require that 3800 trees be planted within the development. The Developer and City have been working on coming to an agreement for trees required within the development, as both the Developer and City believe that the required number of trees within the development would cause tree overcrowding. The preliminary landscape plans provided that a total of 918 trees to be planted on single family lots. Of these, four are to be planted within each large single family lot, and two are to be planted within each small single family (villa) lots. The Developer is requiring the builders to plant these trees but is also requesting that the City not govern, warrant, or dictate those trees and simply ensure that they are planted. The Development Agreement for Royal Golf Club at Lake Elmo 1st Addition required that security be in place for the cost of all trees, including those mentioned to be planted within single family lots above to be installed on single family lots by builders. Other developments within the City (i.e. Hunter’s Crossing) have landscaping that is warrantied within private lots. ISSUE BEFORE COUNCIL: The Council is being asked to discuss trees within private lots of the Royal Golf Club at Lake Elmo and if they should be governed, warranted, or dictated. PROPOSAL DETAILS/ANALYSIS: The Development Agreement for Royal Golf Club at Lake Elmo 1st Addition was approved on September 19, 2017 and included the provision that the Developer agrees to install landscaping in accordance with the approved plans and that all landscaping materials such as trees, shrubs, grasses, or other vegetation installed by the Developer must be warrantied and maintained for a period of two years. Therefore, the Development Agreement inherently requires that even the trees installed on private lots be warrantied for this time period. The Development Agreement also gives the Developer the option of reducing the number of trees it is required to plant within the subdivision by implementing woodland management and/or pollinator friendly native seeding practices and/or pay the City a per-tree parkland dedication fee of $500.00 per 2.5 caliper inch tree that the developer elects not to plant within the subdivision. Attached is a breakdown of credit the Developer would receive for various woodland management and/or pollinator friendly techniques. As previously mentioned, the City has come to accept that the tree requirement for the entire Preliminary Plat area is 3800 2.5” caliper trees. As a general rule, the City gives $200.00 credit per required caliper inch ($500.00 per 2.5” caliper tree). Therefore, for each $500.00 credit the woodland management and/or pollinator friendly technique the Developer utilizes, one less tree would be required. In regards to governing the types of trees that are to be planted within single family lots, the landscape plans do not include the types of trees that are required to be installed by the builder, solely that trees by builders are to be chosen from the plant schedule listed on the landscape plans and that there must be a minimum of two different species per lot. While inspection of trees within single family lots would be burdensome on City Staff and consultants, allowing these trees to not be warrantied would be treating the Royal Golf Club at Lake Elmo development differently from other developments in that all other required trees within other developments are warrantied. RECOMMENDATION: For the aforementioned reasons, Staff would recommend that in lieu of planting trees on private lots within the development that the Developer utilize the option mentioned above and outlined in the Development Agreement of reducing the number of trees within the subdivision by implementing woodland management and/or pollinator friendly native seeding practices and/or pay the City a per-tree parkland dedication fee of $500.00 per 2.5 caliper inch tree that the developer elects not to plant within the subdivision. If the Developer chooses to still plant trees within private lots, the City should continue with the precedent set with other developments that have trees in private lots that have required warranty.

LANDSCAPING AND TREE REPLACEMENT IMPROVEMENTS. A. The Developer agrees to install landscaping in accordance with the approved Plans, the City approvals, the City Code, the City’s Engineering Design and Construction Standards Manual, and the City’s Landscape and Irrigation Standards. All landscaping materials such as trees, shrubs, grasses, or other vegetation installed by the Developer must be warrantied and maintained for a period of two years. The two year warranty period shall be deemed to start once all required landscaping identified as responsibility of Developer in the approved Plans has received acceptance by the City. The Developer agrees to have the installer of the landscaping complete an inspection 30 days prior to the end of the two year warranty period and provide the City with a written report identifying the condition of all landscaping. In the event that any landscaping installed by the Developer is deemed to be in poor condition or dead, the Developer is to replace the landscaping with like kind materials or as otherwise approved by the City. B. The Developer shall be responsible for maintaining regular watering, fertilizing, and over-seeding necessary to establish final lawns and yards as identified in the approved Plans for outlots, public rights-of-way, and any disturbed areas outside the Subdivision boundaries according to a landscape maintenance plan approved by the City. The Developer agrees to achieve “substantial performance” on all seeded or sodded lawns and yards disturbed during the construction of Subdivision Improvements. For the purpose of this Agreement “substantial performance” shall be defined for areas seeded or sodded with a turf or lawn mix as “square foot turf areas with an average blade height of three inches, free of eroded, bare, or dead spots, and free from perennial weeds or unwanted grasses with no visible surface soil.” For areas seeded with a native grass or flower mix “substantial performance” shall be defined as “square foot native grass or flower areas with an average height 12 of eight inches free of eroded, bare, or dead spots and no visible surface soil.” C. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Developer may reduce the number of trees it is required to plant within the Subdivision, as such number is reflected currently in the landscape plan referenced in Exhibit C attached hereto, by (i) implementing woodland management and/or pollinator friendly native seeding practices within the Subdivision, in a manner approved by the City’s Landscape Architect, provided that the number of trees that may be removed from the Developer’s plantings will be agreed upon by the Developer and the City at the time such practices are approved, and/or (ii) paying to the City a per-tree parkland dedication fee of $500.00 per 2.5 caliper inch tree that the Developer elects not to plant within the Subdivision. In the event the Developer elects to utilize either or both of the foregoing to reduce its tree planting requirements and the Developer and the City reach agreement on mutually acceptable terms relating to the same, the City and the Developer shall execute an amendment to this Agreement that memorializes the parties’ agreement relating to such reduction in tree planting requirements and that includes a revised landscape plan for the Subdivision the reflects the reduced number of trees that will be planted. 20. SIGNAGE, STREET LIGHTING, AND OTHER UTILITIES. The Developer agrees to install street signs, traffic and parking signs, and pavement markings within the Subdivision all in accordance with the approved Plans and the City Engineering Design Standards Manual. Street and traffic sign details shall be submitted by the Developer to the City for approval prior to installation. In addition, the Developer shall be responsible for the cost and all coordination work to extend private utilities along with street lighting within the Subdivision all in accordance with the approved plans and right-of-way permits. 21. OWNERSHIP OF IMPROVEMENTS. Upon completion of the work and construction From:Stephen Mastey To:Emily Becker Subject:The Royal Golf Club at Lake Elmo Date:Thursday, August 31, 2017 9:35:53 AM Emily, In response to requests from the RGC design team and to work towards completing the outstanding quantification of the landscape master plan required plantings for the entire development we have provided the following direction: We welcome the use of different size plant material with ecological restoration to enhance the project site coupled with preserving and protecting the existing landscape of value to create a complete landscape that capitalizes on the genius of this site. As noted by the City previously we’ve come to accept the 3800 @ the 2.5” caliper tree size as the replacement number (3800 x 2.5 = 9,500 total caliper inches required for site). With that known caliper inch goal for the site we are excited to have your project design team work with these City accepted size conversions and landscape practices equated back to 1” caliper increments to meet your requirements for the entire site. Note that for 2017 the City of Lake Elmo has established that a 1” caliper of any size deciduous tree installed per city details and specifications, maintained and warranty for two years equals a $200 value in today’s marketplace. Therefore, a 2.5” caliper deciduous tree = $500 Deciduous overstory & understory trees both qualify equally per caliper inch and any size will be credited as a 1 to 1 inch towards meeting the goal of the site. Coniferous trees (assuming they reach at least 20 feet in height at maturity – if they are shorter they are shrubs) are calculated as follows: Caliper inches credit = height of proposed coniferous tree 1” caliper = 20 Seedlings Bare Root 1” caliper = 10 Seedling Transplants Bare Root 1” caliper = 2.5 feet height for container stock 1.25” caliper = 3 feet height for container stock 1.5” caliper = 3.5 feet height for container stock 1.75” caliper = 4 feet height for container stock 2” caliper = 5 feet height for container stock or B & B 2.5” caliper = 6 feet height for B & B 2.75” caliper = 7 feet height for B & B 3” caliper = 8 feet height for B & B 3.5” caliper = 9 feet height for B & B or Machine Moved 4” caliper = 10 feet height for B & B or Machine Moved 4.5” caliper = 11 feet height for B & B or Machine Moved 5” caliper = 12 feet height for B & B or Machine Moved 5.5” caliper = 13 feet height for B & B or Machine Moved 6” caliper = 14 feet height for B & B or Machine Moved 6.5” caliper = 15 feet height for B & B or Machine Moved 7” caliper = 16 feet height for B & B or Machine Moved 7.5” caliper = 17-18 feet height for Machine Moved 8” caliper = 19-20 feet height for Machine Moved 8.5“ caliper = 21 feet height for Machine Moved 9” caliper = 22 feet height for Machine Moved 9.5” caliper = 23 feet height for Machine Moved 10“ caliper = 24 feet or taller in height for Machine Moved Ecosystem management (woodland, wetland, stream edge, lake edge or open field management) 5” caliper = Initial clearing/mowing/spraying: $1,000/acre Ecosystem enhancement 6.5” caliper = Initial understory woodland seeding or open area prairie or wetland seeding (grasses / sedges / or grass like plants only with no forbs): $1300/acre 15” caliper = Initial seeding of woodland, prairie, wetland, lake or stream edge (forbs/flowers portion only with a min. 20 genus / species with 1/3 to bloom spring, 1/3 bloom summer, 1/3 to bloom fall): $3000/acre 15” caliper = Initial seeding of woodland with woody species (hardwoods for example – acorns, etc..rate to be approved by City): $3000/acre Ecosystem maintenance 5” caliper = Maintenance for years 1-3: $1000/acre 3.75” caliper = Maintenance for years 3+: $750/acre Shrubs (deciduous or coniferous) 1” caliper = 10 @ #1 Container 1” caliper = 6 @ #2 Container 1” caliper = 5 @ #3 Container 1” caliper = 4 @ #5 Container 1” caliper = 3 @ #7 Container 1” caliper = 2 @ #10 Container Perennials 1” caliper = 50 @ 2” to 2.25” / Plug Container 1” caliper = 40 @ 3” to 4” Container 1” caliper = 20 @ #1 Container 1” caliper = 15 @ #2 Container 1” caliper = 10 @ #3 Container Hardy Horticultural Bulbs (Daffodils, Tulips, etc.) 1” caliper = 50 @ DN (double nosed) 1” caliper = 100 @ Round (single nosed) Stephen Mastey, CLARB, ASLA, LEED AP BD+C LANDSCAPE ARCHITECTURE, INC.2350 Bayless Place St. Paul, MN 55114 Office 651.646.1020Email Stephen@landarcinc.com Web www.landarcinc.com
