Home My WebLink About#16 - Legacy at Northstar Final PlatPUBLIC HEARING ITEM 4a STAFF REPORT DATE: 8/8/2018 ITEM #: 16 TO: City Council FROM: Emily Becker, Planning Director AGENDA ITEM: The Legacy at North Star Final Plat and Planned Unit Development Plans and Zoning Map Amendment REVIEWED BY: Jack Griffin, City Engineer BACKGROUND: GWSA Land Development is requesting Final Plat and Planned Unit Development (PUD) Plans for 59 single family detached homes located on 23.26 acres. This is the 1st phase of a 266 single family residential development on +/- 98.93 acres. A portion of the development in the southwest corner of the site is within the Shoreland of Sunfish Lake which triggers the need for a Planned Unit Development because the proposed lots do not meet the lot width and impervious requirements for Natural Environment lakes; because the density exceeds the allowable density with the Village Urban Low Density Residential land use category, and because the Applicant is proposing various other deviations from some zoning standards. ISSUE BEFORE THE COUNCIL: The Council is respectfully being requested to review, hold a public hearing, and make a recommendation to the City Council for the Final Plat and PUD Plans for Legacy at North Star and a Zoning Map Amendment to re-zone the property from RT - Rural Development Transitional to V-LDR – Village Low Density Residential. GENERAL INFORMATION: Applicant: GWSA Land Development , 10850 Old County Road 15, Suite 200, Plymouth, MN 55441 Property Owner: Schiltgen Farms Inc. 10880 Stillwater Boulevard Location: 10880 Stillwater Blvd, Lake Elmo/ Parcel 1 – The South 658.02 feet of the Southwest Quarter of the Southeast Quarter of Section 11, Township 29 North, Range 21 West; and Parcel 2- The South 20 acres of the East Half of the Southeast Quarter of Section 11, Township 29 North, Range 21 West; and a City Council Meeting August 8, 2018 Page 2 portion of Parcel 3- The Northeast Quarter of Section 14, Township 29 North, Range 21 West, Washington County, Minnesota. PID#s: 1402921110001, 1102921430001, and 1102921440001 Request: Final Plat and Development Stage PUD Plans and Zoning Map Amendment Site Area: 192.44 acres (all PIDs) Res. Dev. Area: 97.25 acres Land Use: Village Urban Low Density Current Zoning: RT – Rural Development Transitional District Proposed Zoning: V-LDR/PUD Surrounding: RR(north)/ LDR and VMX (east)/Agriculture (south)/ OP and RR (west). History: The parcels are part of the Schiltgen Farm property and are currently zoned RT. The City approved the PUD Concept Plan on June 6, 2017 and approved the Preliminary Plat and PUD Plans on February 20, 2018. Deadline: Application Complete – 7/13/2018 60 Day Deadline – 9/11/2018 Extension Letter Mailed – No 120 Day Deadline – N/A Applicable Code: Article 13 – Village Mixed Use District Article 18 – Planned Unit Development Regulations Article 19 – Shoreland Management Overlay District Chapter 153 – Subdivision Regulations §150.270 Storm Water, Erosion, and Sediment Control PROPOSAL DETAILS/ANALYSIS: PUD Flexibility. The proposed Village- Low Density Residential (V-LDR)/PUD development will be located on the northern portion of the Schiltgen Farm at the northwest corner of CSAH 14 and CSAH 17. The development is a PUD because the developer has been afforded a higher density than is allowed within the V-LDR land use category and flexibility from the zoning regulations of the Shoreland Ordinance and the V-LDR zoning regulations. Changes since Preliminary Plat Approval. The Council at its meeting on February 7, 2018 requested that the preliminary plat be revised to reduce the number of lots within the subdivision and provide more open space. With these revised plans, an average of 86 feet of buffer was provided on the northern edge of the plat and an average of 170 feet on the western edge of the plat. The number of lots was reduced from 276 to 269 (down from 279 from Concept Plan). Since approval by Council, another three units were removed due to slight redesign in response to engineering comments (currently at 266 lots). Ultimately the density within the entire development was approved at 2.75 units per acre but has been reduced to 2.72 units per acre with required changes. Other changes since this version are explained throughout the report. City Council Meeting August 8, 2018 Page 3 Important Note. While City Code required the planning commission to conduct a public hearing at this point in the development review process, it must be understood by all that approval with conditions for this development has already been granted by the City Council. Accordingly, by state law, the City cannot deny the final plat and plans if all conditions of preliminary approval are being met by the applicant. Put another way, the City cannot mandate changes to the plans at this time unless the change was specifically required as a condition of preliminary approval. The City’s role at this time is simply to ensure consistency with the approval as previously granted. Lot Sizes and Widths. The minimum lot width for the shoreland of Sunfish Lake is 125 feet and 70 feet in the V-LDR District. The minimum lot size for the shoreland of Sunfish Lake is 40,000 sq. ft. and in the V-LDR District, 9,000 sq. ft. The developer has been granted the following deviations from setbacks and lot area/width, shown in the table below. Changes since preliminary plat approval include a slight decrease in minimum lot width for exterior single family; a significant decrease in minimum lot area for the villa lots and a slight decrease in minimum lot area for interior and exterior single family lots Shoreland Standard V-LDR Standard Villa Lots – Preliminary Approval Villa Lots - Proposed Interior Single Family – Preliminary Approval Interior Single Family - Proposed Exterior Single Family – Preliminary Approval Exterior Single Family - Proposed Minimum Lot Width 125 ft. 70 ft. 55 ft. 55 ft. 55 ft. 55 ft. 66 ft. 65 ft.

Maximum Impervious Surface N/A 35% 50% 50% 40% 45% 45% 45% Landscaping and Tree Preservation. The final landscape plans have been submitted to the City’s Landscape Architect for review. It is a recommended condition of approval that the landscape plans be approved prior to recording of final plat. The applicant also has provided a tree preservation plan. The preliminary landscape plans indicated that there were no trees on the site and therefore no removal. However, trees were removed on the western edge of the property during grading. The tree preservation plan shows that two significant trees were removed as well as a few evergreen trees that are not significant per the tree preservation ordinance. The applicant will be required to replace these trees per the tree preservation ordinance and has indicated that conversations have been had with adjacent property owners indicating that larger trees will be planted along this western edge to screen these properties as much as possible. City Council Meeting August 8, 2018 Page 4 Outlots. Outlots A and C will be owned by the City for infiltration purposes. The plans indicate that Outlot B will be developer owned (includes the totlot, pool and poolhouse). Outlots G and F (developer-owned) and H (owned by Schiltgen Family) will be developed in the future , and Outlots D and E will be developer owned and used for private trail purposes, protected by a drainage and utility easement. Parkland Dedication. The total required parkland dedication for the development is 10% of the total 98.93 (9.893 acres). The applicant will need to provide the purchase price of the property in order to determine parkland dedication. Partial parkland dedication has already been satisfied with dedication of Outlot D of the Northport plat. This outlot is 6.51 acres, and so the developer is only responsible for the remaining 3.473 acres of parkland dedication. The remaining parkland dedication fees shall be paid with future phases of the development, as the parkland dedication requirement has already been satisfied with the first phase. The development will also provide an HOA-owned and maintained playfield on the west side of the development along with a playground, pool, pool house, and recreation area near the eastern side of the development. Trails. It was a condition of preliminary plat approval that the applicant provide a trail connection to the Hamlet on Sunfish Lake trails plat, as shown below. This trail connection runs along 39th Street and will connect the Hamlet on Sunfish Lake trails to Lake Elmo Avenue. The applicant and City have worked with the Hamlet on Sunfish Lake residents to determine this connection point. These trails are still private and it is unknown whether or not these trails will be made public. Another condition was that a trail be provided from 39th Street to the southern limits of the plat and that the future County right-of-way area along Lake Elmo Avenue of the parcel to the south City Council Meeting August 8, 2018 Page 5 of the plat be graded for a future bituminous trail extension (grade ready trail) along the storm sewer outfall pipe location. Private Trails. Private trails are shown below in red. City Council Meeting August 8, 2018 Page 6 Subdivision Signs. Two subdivision signs are being proposed within the medians of 41st Street North and 39th Street North. This is allowed per an amendment to the Sign Regulations ordinance adopted in December of 2017. One subdivision sign of up to 32 square feet is allowed with additional signs of up to 24 square feet for each entrance. Streets and Access. The developer is proposing a modified street grid and is proposing 60 foot wide public rights-of-ways with 28’ wide streets (back to back), allowing parking on both sides of the street, except where center island exist, such as at the entrance roads off of Lake Elmo Avenue. The developer has provided right-of-way and street stubs to allow for vehicle connectivity to the north and south of this development. Two access points were provided to the Schiltgen parcel to the south of the development in the event this property develops in the future and also to accommodate the land locked Chavez parcel. A third street stub is provided to the north of the development to accommodate future development. Village Parkway Design. When reviewing the Concept Plan, the Planning Commission recommended and the Council adopted a condition of approval that the Village Parkway design carry through in the development with the southern road to at least to the first street stub providing access to the south. This design has been met, indicating a trail on the north side and sidewalk on the south side to match up with existing configuration of 39th Street. Street Names. The street names were updated to adhere to the newly amended street naming policy. Fire Chief and Building Official Comments. The Fire Chief and Building Official were provided copies of the construction plans and have no comments. City Council Meeting August 8, 2018 Page 7 Washington County Review. The final plat and construction plans have been sent to Washington County for review, but no response has been received by Washington County as of the time of the distribution of these packets. It is a recommended condition of approval that the developer provide the City written verification from Washington County that sufficient right-of-way has been provided on the plat along with a sufficient right-of-way easement along the property to the south of the development (PID# 14.02.921.11.0001) prior to plat recording. Prior to construction, the plan section detailing southbound right turn lanes and center left turn lanes at 39th Street must be submitted and approved by the county traffic engineer, applicable Washington County right-of- way permits must be obtained, drainage report and calculations must be submitted, and access control shall be dedicated to Washington County along CSAH 17/Lake Elmo Avenue frontage. The Applicant shall be solely responsible for all construction costs associated with the intersection improvements as recommended by Washington County. City Engineer Comments. The City Engineer memo dated July 18, 2018 is attached to this report, and significant issues are highlighted below: • Outlot H’s drainage and utility easement may be used by the City as a permanent drainage and utility easement for the installation of a trunk sanitary sewer pipe to serve the Hamlet on Sunfish Lake development prior to any future Legacy at North Star additions. • That the applicant provide a Roadway, Drainage and Utility Easement in City standard form of roadway easement agreement, along Lake Elmo Avenue (CSAH 17) from the southern boundary to Stillwater Boulevard North (CSAH 14), and consistent with the requirements of the preliminary plat approval. • Final Plat must 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 prior to the start of construction. Conditions of Preliminary Plat and PUD Plan Approval. Per the City’s subdivision regulations ordinance, a final plat application shall be in substantial compliance with the approved preliminary plat, including any modifications required as a condition of preliminary plat approval. The following indicates how conditions of Preliminary Plat and PUD Plan Approval have been met. 1. That PID# 11.029.21.44.0001 is subdivided to create Parcel 3 as indicated on the Preliminary Plat and that a Zoning Map Amendment is approved to rezone Parcels 1, 2, and 3 from Rural Development Transitional to Village Urban Low Density Residential. The applicant has applied for and received approval by the City for a lot line adjustment to widen Parcels 1 and 2 as shown later on in this report. This lot line adjustment will need to be recorded when the transfer of property occurs. Additionally, the applicant has applied for the zoning map amendment, which is being considered with final plat approval. 2. That the future preliminary plat and PUD Plans include parcels with PID# 14.029.21.11.0001, 11.029.21.43.0001, and a portion of 11.029.21.44.0001. This condition has been met. City Council Meeting August 8, 2018 Page 8 3. That the future preliminary plat and preliminary PUD Plans submittal identify all requests for flexibility from the V-LDR zoning district. The Applicant indicates in the narrative that PUD Flexibility is being requested on minimum lot width, lot area, front yard setback, side yard setback, and maximum impervious coverage. 4. That all comments of the City Engineer’s Memorandum dated May 8, 2017 be addressed with the future preliminary plat and preliminary PUD Plans submittal. It is a recommended condition of approval that the applicant address all items outlined in the City Engineer’s memo for the Final Plat and PUD Plans dated July 18, 2018. 5. That the Applicant submit additional details on the proposed stormwater reuse system and ongoing operations for City review and consideration. Ownership, maintenance and ongoing operational responsibilities must be clearly defined, and City acceptance of stormwater reuse must be contingent upon the City agreeing to the ongoing ownership, maintenance and operation plan, including the execution of a stormwater maintenance and easement agreement that addresses stormwater reuse. The Applicant has chosen to not pursue stormwater reuse on this time. While the Council did grant amenity points for this feature, there are still enough amenity points granted to reach the increased density. The applicant has indicated within the narrative that it was decided that this site would be better served with infiltration basins, and that the stormwater reuse was not necessary due to the decrease in lot count and increase in open space. 6. That the Applicant provide a detailed phasing plan with the Final Plat 1st Addition application that clearly indicates the phasing of the construction for each public infrastructure component and addresses both construction access to the site and public access for new residents. Temporary cul-de-sacs should be part of the phasing plans and are required for any street with a platted lot with driveway access. This has been provided on the construction plans. 7. That the developer provide a trail connecting the trail in the middle of the development to Hamlet on Sunfish Lake trails along with a trail corridor of at least 30 feet in width. The developer shall not receive parkland dedication credit for the trail corridor nor cost of construction of the trail. The trail has been provided, and the developer will not receive parkland dedication credit for the construction of this trail. 8. That any approval be contingent on complying with Washington County’s requirements and requests pertaining to right-of-way, turn lanes and trail needs as noted in the Washington County Memo dated June 1, 2017. City Council Meeting August 8, 2018 Page 9 Washington County has since submitted preliminary plat comments in a memo dated June 1, 2018. This memo indicates that sufficient right-of-way has been provided as per the Washington County Comprehensive Plan on the preliminary plat and that a sufficient right- of-way easement is provided to the south of the development. However, this memo also indicates that it would be preferable for there to be an additional 25 feet of right-of-way along the southern portion of the plat in order to accommodate a proposed route for the Central Greenway Trail, and because there is not 75 feet of right-of-way present on the on the east side of CSAH 17 centerline in order to accommodate a the 150 foot corridor required to expand to a four-lane divided highway. The City does not feel this is necessary, however, as Outlot A will be City owned, and if/when the road is expanded to a four lane highway, this outlot can be utilized if it is needed. Additionally, the current right-of-way will be accommodated with the current right-of-way. 9. Sufficient right-of-way along Lake Elmo Avenue N (CSAH-17) for both the Legacy at Northstar Plat and PID# 14.02.921.11.0001 must be provided. Verification from Washington County that sufficient right-of-way along Lake Elmo Avenue N (CSAH-17) has been provided must be received by the City. It is a recommended condition of approval that the City receive written documentation from Washington County that sufficient right-of-way has been provided along CSAH 17/Lake Elmo Avenue along with a sufficient right-of-way easement on the property to the south. 10. The Applicant shall be solely responsible for all construction costs associated with the intersection improvements as recommended by Washington County. This requirement has been added as a recommended condition of approval and will be addressed within the development agreement. 11. That the Applicant provide a minimum 30 foot buffer from the northern edges and 50 foot buffer from the western edges of the plat. This buffer shall average 170 feet on the western edge of the plat and 86 feet on the northern edge of the plat and include sufficient landscaping and/or berming as deemed adequate by the City. The applicant has provided with the preliminary plat application an exhibit showing that this has been met. The exhibit shows that the buffer on the western edge averages 170 feet and that the buffer on the northern edge averages 90 feet. This condition is not applicable to the 1st Addition Final Plat, as lots within the 1st Addition do not near the western or northern edges of the plat. 12. That the Landscape Plans receive approval from the City’s Landscape Architect and include revisions as mentioned in the Staff Report dated to the Planning Commission dated December 11, 2017. The final landscape plans have been approved by the City’s Landscape Architect, and it is a condition of approval that these plans be approved. City Council Meeting August 8, 2018 Page 10 13. That wetlands and wetland buffer areas be contained within outlots outside of lot areas and dedicated to the City. The preliminary plat shows that with buffer averaging this wetland buffer has been contained within Outlot N of the preliminary plat. This condition is not applicable to the 1st Addition. 14. That the Applicant provide a detailed sanitary sewer phasing plan must be provided with Final Plat 1st Addition application to address timely connection to sewer for the wastewater treatment system that includes, at a minimum, dedicated right-of-way or utility easement extended to the westerly side of the plat. The applicant has provided a drainage and utility easement over all of Outlot H, which may be used by the City as a permanent drainage and utility easement for the installation of a trunk sanitary sewer pipe to serve the Hamlet on Sunfish Lake development prior to any future Legacy at North Star additions. 15. That the Final Plat and PUD Plans include a parking area for the HOA pool/playground recreation area that meets all applicable standards. The parking area has been removed from the originally proposed preliminary plat that the Planning Commission reviewed in December of 2017 but has been replaced with approximately 13 parking spaces along Kokanee Avenue North as shown below. This was due to the new design and increases open space within the park and provides more parking than what would be provided with the parking lot. City Council Meeting August 8, 2018 Page 11 16. That the proposed 15 foot front yard setback for Villa Lots be approved provided the HOA documents include architectural requirements that require 4-sided architecture and garages facing the public right-of-ways to have windows and/or other architectural features. The applicant has indicated that it would be preferred to have this requirement within the architectural guidelines, which is requested to be a separate document from the HOA documents. The applicant has indicated that this would provide greater control. This is a recommended condition of Final Plat and PUD Plans approval that this be provided. 17. That the Landscape Plans receive approval from the City’s Landscape Architect and include revisions as mentioned in the Staff Report dated to the Planning Commission dated December 11, 2017. It is a recommended condition of Final Plat and PUD Plans approval that the landscape plans be approved by the City’s Landscape Architect. 18. That the developer comply with any comments provided by the MnDNR. The applicant has provided with the Preliminary Plat and PUD Plans application a shoreland tier analysis that shows that the applicant has provided sufficient open space and has proposed the allowed number of lots within the shoreland. City Council Meeting August 8, 2018 Page 12 19. That the developer provide deed restrictions, covenants, permanent easements or other instruments for open space that prohibit future vegetative and topographic alterations other than routine maintenance, construction of buildings or storage of vehicles and other materials; and ensure preservation and maintenance of open space. The outlot that will serve as open space within the shoreland will be owned by the City and therefore will not require a protective covenant preserving the open space. It is a recommended condition of approval that the Applicant enter in to an open space easement with the City over homeowners’ association-owned outlots on the northern and western edges of the development 20. That all Fire Chief and Building Official comments be addressed. The Final Plat and PUD Plans have been submitted to the Building Official and Fire Chief, and it is a recommended condition of Final Plat and PUD Plans approval that these comments be addressed. 21. That street names comply with City’s Street Naming Policy. The applicant has changed the street names since preliminary plat approval to adhere to the City’s amended street naming policy. 22. That the Applicant provide specific examples of proposed development signage, fencing, landscaping, lighting and site furnishings, including the clubhouse, that will adhere to the Lake Elmo Branding and Theming Study with the Final Plat and PUD Plans submittal. The applicant has provided this, and these will be available at the meeting. 23. That the Applicant submit and the City approve updated Preliminary Plat and PUD Plans prior to submission of Final Plat and PUD Plans. The preliminary plat and PUD plans had been approved prior to submission of the Final Plat and PUD application. 24. The proposed 7’/8’sideyard setbacks shall be approved by the City Engineer. The Engineer does not have issue with this sideyard setback. 25. That the Applicant construct a bituminous trail extending south along the County right-of- way from 30th Way to the southerly plat limits (along the east side of Outlot C) and the future County right-of-way area along Lake Elmo Avenue of the parcel to the south of the plat should be graded for a future bituminous trail extension (grade ready trail) along the storm sewer outfall pipe location. This has been shown on the construction plans. City Council Meeting August 8, 2018 Page 13 26. That the Applicant pay a cash contribution in an amount equal to the fair market value of 3.383 acres of land to satisfy the development’s park land dedication requirement pursuant to Section 154.14 of the City Code. This will be addressed in the development agreement of future additions. ZONING MAP AMENDMENT Zoning Map Amendment. As previously mentioned, in order to develop the site, the developer was required to apply for and have approved a lot line adjustment to adjust the lot lines of Parcels 1 and 2 as shown below. This lot line adjustment has not yet been recorded and will be when the sale of the property is final. Additionally, Parcels 1 and 2 were required to be rezoned from RT – Rural Development Transitional to V-LDR/PUD, consistent with the City’s Comprehensive Plan guidance for the area. The comprehensive plan and the V-LDR zoning district allow for a density of 1.5-2.49, but this is allowed to be increased with PUD flexibility. This will be the second area on the Zoning Map that is designated as V-LDR zoning. Because the lot line adjustment has not yet been recorded, the motion for recommendation of approval of the zoning map amendment should include Parcels 1 and 2 as they are shown on the lot line adjustment exhibit. City Council Meeting August 8, 2018 Page 14 Planning Commission Review. The Planning Commission held a public hearing and considered the Legacy at North Star 1st Addition Final Plat and PUD Plans as well as the Zoning Map Amendment at its July 23, 2018 meeting. Multiple people spoke during the public hearing, and comments are summarized below: • Concern about the buffer and it not being 100 feet wide at all points to the west and north. • Concern about the increased traffic on Lake Elmo Avenue, lighting, potential trespassing on to the Hamlet on Sunfish Lake development (especially the lake and the safety issues this could cause). • Issue with perceived insufficient access being provided from the development to the land- locked parcel that is to the south of Hamlet on Sunfish Lake. The Planning Commission recommended adding the following conditions of approval: 13. That the development utilize Traditionaire LED Downlights from Xcel Energy for the development in lieu of the Street Light Type/Pole of Acorn with aluminum pole (all black) City Council Meeting August 8, 2018 Page 15 indicated in the City’s Engineering Standards and that streetlights be located only at intersections and ends of cul-de-sacs. •Due to neighboring concerns regarding the lighting and the recent availability of this type of light from Xcel, the Commission is recommending that the City explore utilizing this type of street light instead of Xcel’s Acorn lighting. Details on this lighting type can be found attached to this report. 14. That the Developer provide proof that a replacement reserve was created for the Common Interest Community (CIC) in accordance with Minnesota Statute 515B.3-1141. The Planning Commission recommended approval with recommended conditions with a vote of 7-0. Recommended Findings.

Pete Schiltgen 10880 Stillwater Blvd. North Lake Elmo, MN 55042 Telephone: (651) 303-8188 Peteschiltgen@gmail.com Comprehensive Plan, Zoning, Density, & Variances: The planned Land Use is Village Urban Low Density. On the Village Land Use Plan, the project site is classified as Village Urban Low Density (V-LDR). The density range for V-LDR is 1.5 – 2.49 units per acre. We are proposing a Planned Unit Development (PUD) for this development. Lake Elmo Zoning: PUD Front Yard Setback – 25 feet Front Yard Setback (sideload) – 15 feet Side Yard Setback – 15’ total (7’/8’ with living area to both sides) Corner Yard Setback – 20 feet Rear Yard Setback – 20 feet Maximum Impervious – 50% Minimum Lot Area – 6,600 sq. ft. Minimum Lot Width – 55 ft. Density: Total Site (total unit count 266 lots) Preliminary Plat Overall Area: +/-98.93 acres Residential Lot Area: +/-54.83 acres ROW Area: +/-21.49 acres Current Lake Elmo Ave N. ROW: +/-1.89 acres Future Lake Elmo Ave N. ROW: +/-2.84 acres Wetland Area: +/- 0.90 acres Wetland Buffer Area: +/- .86 acres Open Space & Recreation Area: +/-22.78 acres Gross Density: 2.69 Net Density: 2.74 A preliminary plat lot area tabulation sheet for The Legacy at North Star First Addition is included with the plans. Site Analysis: The site is bordered on the south by Schiltgen Farms. The site is bordered on the north by residential homes. The site is bordered on the east by Lake Elmo Avenue and to the west by The Hamlet of Sunfish Lake. The access points to the site will be via Lake Elmo Ave. North. The site is currently being used for agricultural purposes. Please refer to the ALTA Survey and the aerial photos. Sanitary sewer will be provided to the site as part of the existing Sanitary Sewer plan that will extend sewer service from the east of the site along Lake Elmo Ave. Watermain will connect to the existing watermain along 39th Street N., storm water will be managed and outlet from the site in accordance with the City and Watershed requirements. The site is within the Valley Branch Watershed District. Minor utilities (gas, electric, phone, and TV) will need to be extended to service the site. The USDA Soil Survey of the project site indicates Antigo Silt Loams, Campia Silt Loams, and Mahtomedi Loamy Sand. The soils that are present consist of mostly moderately well drained loams and sandy loams with a moderate permeability. Street Design: The Legacy at North Star proposes to have public streets; the public streets within the project would be 28’ B-B with a sidewalk along one side of the street, within a 60’ ROW. All streets will be constructed to the City of Lake Elmo standard street section. Utility Services: City sanitary sewer and water will be extended from the existing utilities to the east of the site. Site Grading: The site is planned to be mass graded. Storm water: The storm water facilities proposed in The Legacy at North Star are illustrated on the enclosed plans. Runoff from the site will be directed to storm sewer inlet locations, collected and conveyed to the proposed treatment pond(s). The ponds will provide temporary storage of storm water runoff, treatment of storm water and sediment removal. The storm water plan will provide adequate treatment and storage to meet the City of Lake Elmo and the Valley Branch Watershed District requirements. Wetlands: There is 1 wetlands on site in the NW corner and will not be impacted by the development. (See plan set) Traffic: The Legacy at North Star proposes two access points off of Lake Elmo Avenue North. Traffic Generation – (anticipate 10 trips per day per home site) Total Site: 266 Lots = 2660 trips per day First Addition: 59 Lots = 590 trips per day The additional traffic generated from this site is not anticipated to have a noticeable impact on the existing traffic in the area and is on the lower end of the proposed Comprehensive Plan guiding. Trail System: Six-foot concrete sidewalks are proposed along residential streets within the site. In addition, there are 8.0 foot trails proposed from Lake Elmo Avenue to the West side of the preliminary plat to promote neighborhood connectivity. Park: The site features a large park and playfield on the west side of the plat, a private amenity lot with pool, clubhouse, playground and sport court on the east side of the plat as well as public and private trails throughout the site. Woodland Areas & Protection: I. Introduction A tree survey in accordance with City of Lake Elmo requirements has been completed for this site. Only 8 trees were identified, per the City requirements. Tree Removal & Restitution: The Legacy at North Star development removed two of the eight identified trees and is under the allowed 30% removal limit. Landscape Plan, Monuments & Entrance: This development will have 2 divided entries off of Lake Elmo Avenue North and berming along Lake Elmo Avenue North. Many of the lots will have pond views, due to the site topography. The storm water ponds will have landscaping to create unique water treatment facilities for the proposed project. A custom entry monument will be designed and constructed at the proposed entrance(s). This will create a sense of luxury and livability for the new single family residents, while providing safer access to the site. The landscape plan includes 1,011 trees, over 10 per developed acre. Homeowner’s Association and Restrictive Covenants: The developer will prepare restrictive covenants and standards that will apply to this 266 lot project. The restrictive covenants will be tailored to the developer’s vision of the project. Each home will be required to meet the specifics of building types, landscaping, and overall goals of the development. A master HOA will be created for the Legacy at North Star project. This association will be in charge of the monumentation, landscaping, park and amenity areas as well as snow removal and lawncare services for the Villa lots. The HOA will also be responsible for maintenance issues within the subdivision. These may include special landscaping, mailboxes, signage, and other common elements. Conditions of Approval: 1. That PID# 1102921440001 is subdivided to create Parcel 3 as indicated on the Preliminary Plat and that a Zoning Map Amendment is approved to rezone Parcels 1, 2, and 3 from Rural Development Transitional to Village Urban Low Density Residential. Response: City approved a lot line adjustment on May 1, 2018 to create two parcels that will be rezoned to Village Urban Low Density Residential. 2.
