Deadline for Action: Application Complete – 5/7/2018
60 Day Timeline – 7/6/2018
Extension Sent – N/A
Applicable Regulations: Article XII – Urban Residential Districts (LDR)
Chapter 153: Subdivision Regulations
Usable Backyard Issue. The developer has revised the proposed sketch plan that was previously
submitted to the city. The initial sketch plan did not provide backyards that the City had felt were
usable, as a 66 foot wide Northern Natural Gas Easement ran along the majority of the backyards of
the lots to the west of Liberty Court North. The proposed preliminary plat reduces the number of
proposed lots from 13 to 10, as approved by Council, reducing the proposed density from 2.17 units
per acre to 1.67 units per acre. Additionally, the developer had provided an exhibit which shows
proposed building pad locations that show a 20 foot rear yard principal building setback from the
Northern Natural Gas Easement. This exhibit shows that a pool and play set could reasonably fit
within these backyards. The standard rear yard setback for properties located within the Village Low
Density Residential Zoning District is 20 feet, and so Staff believes that so long as the lots in which
the Northern Natural Gas Easement is located maintain a 20 foot principal building rear yard setback
from the easement that these proposed lots will provide a sufficient rear yard. This has been added as
a recommended condition of approval.
Density. The total site acreage is 5.97 acres, and the proposed number of homes is 10. Because none
of the area within the proposed preliminary plat can be netted out (i.e. none of it is arterial right-of-
way or parkland), the proposed density is 1.67 units per acre. This is within the required density of
the Village Urban Low Density (1.5-2.49 units per acre).
Greenbelt Buffer. The updated sketch plan increases the greenbelt buffer to the south of the
development. Since the initially-proposed sketch plan, the applicant has increased the buffer to
approximately 80 feet, which is approximately equal to the buffer provided by the development to
the east, Northport. The lot on to which the single family home shall be relocated (Lot 7) does not
match this buffer, as the Outlot A does not buffer it from 30th Street. The Village Low Density
Residential zoning district designates that residential lots are not to encroach on the Village Open
Space Overlay District unless berming or screening protected by a landscape easement is provided as
an alternative approved by Council. It is a recommended condition of approval that the applicant
provide a detailed site plan for this lot showing the proposed house location and screening/buffering
to be approved by Council and protected by a landscape easement.
Landscape Plans. The City’s landscape architect has reviewed the landscape plans, but due to
insufficient information provided by the applicant has not yet completed review. Approval is
contingent upon approved landscape and tree preservation plans being approved by the City’s
Landscape Architect.
Park Dedication. The proposed development is to the east of Reid Park. With recording of the
Northport plat, the City received approximately an additional 12.5 acres of parkland for an extension
of Reid Park. The Neighborhood Park Search Area map of the Comprehensive Plan’s Parks and
Recreation Plan does not identify this area for a neighborhood park. Therefore, Staff would not
recommend that parkland be dedicated within this development and that the City accept fees in lieu
of parkland dedication. Per the City’s Subdivision Ordinance, 10% of the fair market value of the
3
land will need to be paid as the parkland dedication fee. The fair market value of the land is
determined by current market data, if available, or by obtaining an appraisal from a licensed real
estate appraiser, and the subdivider is required to pay for the appraisal. In this case, if the owner of
the property will be selling the land to the Applicant to be developed, there will be current market
data available. If the owner is not selling the land, an appraisal to determine the fair market value will
likely be required in order to determine the amount of parkland dedication the City will receive. The
Parks Commission reviewed the proposed sketch plan at its November 2017 meeting and
recommended that there be a fee paid lieu of park land and that a trail connection connecting the cul-
de-sac to 30th Street would not be desirable because pedestrian crossings are preferred at controlled
intersections and that there is a hill at the location of the cul-de-sac, which would create a safety
hazard.
Trails. No trails are being proposed within the development, only a sidewalk on the west side of
Liberty Court North. There is already a trail along the south of 30th Street, and the developers of
Northport will be constructing a segment of a trail from the southern edge of that development off
Liberty Court North. This trail segment will not connect to the existing trails in Reid Park, however,
as approved by Council. The City may extend this trail through to the existing trails in Reid Park in
the future. The City’s trail plan indicates a trail along 30th Street North, which already exists on the
south side of the street.
4
Access. Access to the proposed lots will be provided from Lower 31st Street North to the north of the
subject property (part of the Northport development). Access to this parcel was pre-planned with the
adjacent subdivision in order to preserve the proper access management along 30th Street North. The
existing driveway will be eliminated as suggested by Staff. Access to the new Lot 7 is proposed to be
provided off the cul-de-sac of Liberty Court North.
Streets. The proposed streets appear to be meeting the City’s minimum standards:
• Liberty Court is proposed to be 28-feet wide within a 60-foot right-of-way;
• A 60 foot cul-de-sac right-of-way width is provided with a 45 foot pavement radius;
• The cul-de-sac length is proposed to be 510 feet long;
• There is a proposed sidewalk to the west of this street. The residential maximum longitudinal
grade is 6% with a sidewalk which appears to be feasible. Potential connections to this sidewalk
should be considered moving forward.
• Surmountable concrete curb and gutter needs to be installed in single family areas with future
driveways.
Street Naming. The proposed name of Liberty Court is consistent with the City’s Street Naming
Policy in that it starts with Li-, which is appropriate within the grid system. There are existing Li-
streets both west and far east of this development on the grid pattern, and so it does not necessarily
make sense to use an existing street’s name, as it is not specifically in line with an existing street on
the grid. Additionally, Northport Final Plat has already been recorded providing a street stub in to
this development with the name of Liberty Court N.
Utilities – Municipal Water Supply and Municipal Sanitary Sewer. Public water and sanitary
sewer service will be extended to the site with the development of Northport. The preliminary plans
will need to include detailed utility construction plans that meet City engineering standards.
Existing Trail
5
Environmental Review. The proposed development is within the Village Alternative Urban Area
Wide Review (AUAR), which was completed in order to address the expected cumulative
environmental impacts associated with the anticipated growth and development within the Village.
City Engineer Review. The City Engineer’s review comments are found as part of the attachments.
Items of note are as follows. These are included as recommended conditions of approval.
• Preliminary plat and plans should be revised to dedicate additional right-of-way along 30th
Street and/or to expand the storm water to the 100-year High Water Level (HWL) flood area.
• Written easement owner permission must be obtained, and copies provided to the City, for
work to be completed within the Northern Natural Gas easement. The City must receive
copies of the written permission prior to approval of the final plat.
• Written landowner permission must be submitted as part of the final plat development
applications for any off-site grading work and storm water discharges to adjacent properties.
• 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 prior to submission of final plat for approval.
Fire Chief and Building Official Review. The Fire Chief and Building Official worked with
Engineering to address any issues with this plat and provided no further comment.
Airport. The proposed development is not within the Lake Elmo Airport Existing Runway
Protection Zones; however, the Metropolitan Airports Commission was given the opportunity to
review the proposed development with the Preliminary Plat application and has provided a review
memo, attached. From this review memo, it is a recommended condition of approval that the
applicant be required to submit a disclosure statement (similar to that required of homes within
Easton Village) that alerts prospective buyers about the proximity of the development to the airport
and encourages appropriate noise attenuation construct practices for residential structures.
Lot Dimensions and Bulk Requirements. The proposed sketch plan appears to the meet the lot
dimensions and bulk requirements for the Village Urban Low Density Residential zoning district,
except for Lot 1. This is the only lot that does not meet the required lot width at the setback line. It is
a recommended condition of approval that this lot width be increased to 70 feet.

Outlot H of Northport, which contains an infiltration basin.
Lot Easements. Lot easements (front, rear and side yard) need to be shown on the plan meeting
City requirements.
Zoning Map Amendment. Zoning Map Amendments are typically processed during preliminary
plat. As such, the applicant has requested a Zoning Map Amendment to rezone the property from
Rural Single Family to Urban Low Density Residential. The properties to the north and east of the
subject parcel are guided for Village Urban Low Density (V-LDR) and have been re-zoned to Urban
Low Density Residential. This was because when these properties received Preliminary Plat
approval, there did not exist a Village Urban Low Density zoning district. The V-LDR ordinance was
created on 5/26/17. While it would be preferable that the property be rezoned the Urban Low Density
in order to align with the zoning of surrounding parcels, the Zoning Code states that densities within
the Urban Low Density Zoning District shall range from two 2 to 4 units per acre. Because the
proposed density of the development is not within the 2-4 units per acre range, it is not appropriate to
re-zone Urban Low Density Residential as the adjacent parcels are zoned. As such, Staff would
recommend that the property be re-zoned V-LDR. This is consistent with the Comprehensive Plan in
that the parcel is now guided for Village Urban Low Density Residential, as approved by the City
Council on February 7, 2018 and the Metropolitan Council on March 14, 2018.
Planning Commission Review. The Planning Commission held a public hearing and considered
the proposed Preliminary Plat and Zoning Map Amendment at its June 4, 2018 meeting. At the
public hearing, there was concern brought up about the density and the greenbelt buffer
encroaching on Lot 7. It was clarified that the zoning is Village Low Density Residential, which
is not the same as Low Density Residential, and that the Village Low Density Residential zoning
district requires that buffering/screening be provided on residential lots that encroach the Village
Open Space Overlay District. As such, there was an added aforementioned condition of approval
that the applicant provide a detailed site plan that showed the proposed house location along with
screening and buffering to be approved by Council and protected by a landscape easement. There
was also an adjacent property owner who questioned if he would be able to develop similarly to
this parcel, as his property also has the Northern Easement running through it. It was clarified
that the Draft 2040 Comprehensive Plan also guides his parcel as Village Low Density
Residential, and so as long as he came up with a plan that worked and went through the required
application processes and the development adhered to all City Code requirements and standards,
then the property could develop.

Recommended Findings. Staff recommends the following findings in regards to the proposed
Preliminary Plat:
1) That the Wyndham Village preliminary plat is consistent with the Lake Elmo
Comprehensive Plan and the Future Land Use Map for this area.
2) That the Wyndham Village preliminary plat complies with the City’s Village Urban Low
Density Residential zoning districts with required condition of approval.
3) That the Wyndham Village preliminary plat complies with all other applicable zoning
requirements, including the City’s landscaping, storm water, sediment and erosion
control and other ordinances, and is consistent with the City’s engineering design
standards with corrections as noted by the City Engineer Review Memo dated May 30,
2018.
4) That the Wyndham Village preliminary plat complies with the City’s subdivision
ordinance.
Recommended Conditions of Approval. Staff recommends the following conditions of approval:
1. That the City approve a Zoning Map Amendment to rezone the property from Rural Single
Family to Village Low Density Residential
2. Homes within lots in which the Northern Natural Gas Company Easement (Document
384029) (“Northern Easement”) is located shall maintain a 20 foot principal building rear
yard setback from the Northern Easement.
3. All required modifications to the plans as requested by the City Engineer in a review
letter dated May 30, 2018 shall be incorporated into the plans, and plans shall be
approved prior to consideration of a final plat.
4. Preliminary plat and plans should be revised to dedicate additional right-of-way along 30th
Street and/or to expand the storm water to the 100-year High Water Level (HWL) flood area.
5. Written easement owner permission must be obtained, and copies provided to the City, for
work to be completed within the Northern Easement. The City must receive copies of the
written permission prior to approval of the final plat.
6. Written landowner permission must be submitted as part of the final plat development
applications for any off-site grading work and storm water discharges to adjacent properties.
7. The developer shall pay a cash contribution in lieu of land for park dedication equal to
10% of the fair market value of the entire parcel.
8. The developer shall obtain all required permits from Northern Natural Gas to perform
construction work over the gas line that runs from north to south across this site.
9. The preliminary landscape plan shall be approved by the City prior to recording of the final
plat.
10. The lot width of Lot 1 shall be increased to 70 feet, and all other lot dimension and bulk
requirements of the Village Urban Low Density zoning district must be met.
11. The applicant shall provide a disclosure statement to all first homeowners in the development
advising of the airport and associated over-flights as well as its proximity to the railroad and
associated noise and vibration.
8
12. All builders shall be encouraged to incorporate interior noise reduction measures into single
family residential structures within the subdivision based on the Metropolitan Council’s
Builder Guide.
13. All easements as requested by the City Engineer and Public Works Department shall be
documented on the Final Plat prior to the execution of the final plat by City Officials.
14. Prior to recording the Final Plat, the Developer shall enter into a Developers Agreement
acceptable to the City Attorney that delineates who is responsible for the design,
construction, and payment of public improvements.
15. The Applicant shall provide a detailed site plan for Lot 7 showing the proposed house
location and screening/buffering to be approved by Council and protected by a landscape
easement.
FISCAL IMPACT:
There would be no fiscal impact to the City at this time, as the developer would be required to pay
for any amendments needed to accommodate the increase in REC units. When the property
develops, it will have urban services and will pay sewer and water connection charges, building
permit fees and the like.
OPTIONS:
• Approve the proposed preliminary plat and zoning map amendment with recommended
findings and conditions of approval.
• Amend Staff and Planning Commission-recommended findings and conditions of approval
and approve the proposed preliminary plat and zoning map amendment.
• Do not approve the proposed preliminary plat and zoning map amendment, directing Staff to
draft findings for denial and bring back to a future meeting.
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff and the Planning Commission recommend approval of the Wyndham Village Preliminary Plat
and Zoning Map Amendment.

Landscape Plans, Sheets L1‐L5, dated May 7, 2018, prepared by CalYX Design Group.
Preliminary Plan Narrative, dated May 4, 2018, prepared by J.P.Bush Homes.
STATUS/FINDINGS: Engineering has prepared the following review comments:
PRELIMINARY PLAT
Preliminary plat approval should be contingent upon all public improvements that support the development
being designed and constructed in accordance with the City Engineering Design Standards Manual dated
March 2017 and as identified within this plan review memorandum.
Preliminary plat approval should also be contingent upon the preliminary plans being revised and approved
by the City prior to the City accepting an application or plans for final plat.
Right‐of‐way/Easement Dedication. The Preliminary Plat and all preliminary plan sheets must be revised to
dedicate additional right‐of‐way along 30th Street North to ensure a minimum 30th Street boulevard of 16
ft. along the entire length of the plat. The current plans show a varied boulevard width from 11‐25 feet. In
addition, a 10 ft. utility corridor must be reserved (at boulevard grades) for small utilities. The proposed
storm water facilities (including the 100‐year HWL) must be revised further north to prevent encroachment
onto the 10 ft. utility corridor.
Outlot A must be dedicated to the City for storm water maintenance. Outlot A has been shown as City‐
owned on the preliminary plat and plans as required. Outlot A may need to be revised to accommodate
additional right‐of‐way along 30th Street and/or to expand the storm water 100‐year HWL flood area.
Drainage and utility easements are required over all storm sewer, sanitary sewer and watermain not located
on City Outlots and right‐of‐way, minimum 30‐feet in width centered on the pipe/structure. Easements
must be shown on the Preliminary Plat, Utility Plans and Grading Plans.
Additional easement is required over the storm sewer outfall pipe between Lots 5 and 6.
Additional easement is required for the proposed Lot 7 driveway culvert.

PAGE 2 of 4
Additional easement is required over Lot 6 for the sanitary sewer pipe from MH‐2 to MH‐3, or this pipe
must be realigned to the center of the Lot 7 driveway.
All emergency overflow elevations must be fully protected by drainage easement.
Written easement owner permission must be obtained, and copies provided to the City, for work to be
completed within the gas main easement. The City must receive copies of the written permission prior to
the approval of final plat.
Written landowner permission must be submitted as part of the f inal plat development applications for any
off‐site grading work and storm water discharges to adjacent properties.
Access Management. The Preliminary Plans shows access to the plat from the Northport subdivision along
Liberty Court. This access was pre‐planned with the adjacent subdivision and preserves the proper access
management along 30th Street North.
STORMWATER MANAGEMENT
The site plan is subject to a storm water management plan meeting State, VBWD and City rules. Additional
City review is necessary for plan changes made to meet these requirements.
Storm water facilities proposed as part of the site plan to meet State and VBWD permitting requirements
must be constructed in accordance with the City Engineering Design Standards Manual.
The storm water management must be revised to demonstrate rate control for each discharge location
rather than a combined discharge. The model must also be revised to correct the pre and post drainage
areas based on existing contours rather than property lines.
The model must evaluate the HWL changes to the Northport Infiltration basin due to areas of direct
discharge and plan revisions must be made to ensure the HWL does not increase.
The model must be revised to include the 10‐day 100‐year snowmelt condition.
The storm water management plan must demonstrate volume control requirements being met.
The storm water management plan executive summary must identify the rate control for each discharge
point and summarize the BMP normal water and resulting high water levels for each basin.
