Home My WebLink About#14 - Northport 3rd AdditionSTAFF REPORT DATE: 3/4/2020 BUSINESS ITEM TO: City Council FROM: Ben Prchal, City Planner ITEM: Northport 3rd Addition Final Plat and Easement Vacation REVIEWED BY: Ken Roberts, Planning Director Planning Commission BACKGROUND: The Planning Commission had a chance to review an easement vacation request for the Northport 3rd addition on the 10th of February, 2020. The City Council will need to review the Easement Vacation 3rd Addition, Final Plat request from Pulte Homes of MN LLC, which is part of a planned 104 unit residential development. The 3rd Addition includes 41 single family lots that are located among 7.43 acre on the north eastern part of the subdivision. This request and final plat will be the last phase of the overall development. ISSUE BEFORE CITY COUNCIL: The City Council is being asked to review a Final Plat and Easement Vacation request for the Northport 3rd Addition. PROPOSAL DETAILS/ANALYSIS: General Information. Applicant: Pulte Homes of MN LLC, 7500 Flying Cloud Drive, Ste 670, Eden Prairie, MN 55344 (will act as both developer of the property and builder of homes) Location: PID# 13.029.21.44.0057 Request: Application for final plat approval of a 41 unit residential subdivision to be named Northport 3rd Addition and Easement Vacation Zoning: LDR – Low Density Residential Surrounding: North – Easton Village (LDR); West – Reid Park; South – Heritage Farms (OP-PUD); East – Lake Elmo Airport (Baytown Township). Comp. Plan: Village Urban Low Density Residential (1.5 - 2.49 units per acre) History: Property was included in Village Planning Area boundary and municipal sewer service area as defined in the 2013 Village Land Use Plan. A Comprehensive Plan Amendment was approved by Res. 2014-60, Preliminary Plat was approved by Res. 2014-74, 1st Addition (36 units) approved by Res. 2017-089, 2nd addition approved by Res. 2018-081 (29 units approved, 27 platted). Action Deadline: Application Complete – 1/16/2020 60 Day Deadline – 3/16/2020 Extension Letter Mailed – No Regulations: Chapter 153 – Subdivision Regulations Article 10 – Urban Residential Districts (LDR) §150.270 Storm Water, Erosion, and Sediment Control 2 Consistency with Preliminary Plat The proposed addition is consistent with the preliminary plat that was approved in 2014. However, engineering comments will need to be addressed before construction. Most lot sizes meet or exceed the minimum lot size requirement for the Urban Low Density Zoning District and those that do not are addressed in the conditions section. The development received approval to plat 36 units in the 1st addition, 29 units in the 2nd addition, and 41 units in the 3rd addition. This comes to a total of 106 units, however, only 104 were approved during preliminary approval. Although this is the case, only 27 lots were actually platted in the 2nd addition, which leaves the development in compliance with preliminary approval. Outlots. • During this phase of development the City will not be acquiring any outlots. All required outlots have been obtained during previous phases. Right-of-Way. There is 2.67 acres of right-of- way being dedicated to the City. Parkland. The developer met the City’s parkland dedication requirements through the deeding of Outlot C, which is now an extension of Reid Park. The developer is not responsible for additional park fees or improvements with this addition. Engineering Comments. The City Engineer comments can be found as an attachment as Northport 3rd Addition Final Plat review memos dated February 2, 2020. Staff is recommending, as a condition of approval that all of the comments outlined in the reports be followed. The construction plan memo holds the bulk of the comments. Metropolitan Airports Commission (MAC) Comments. Due to MAC’s review comments regarding the 1st Addition, it was a condition of approval that the applicant provide a disclosure statement to all first homeowners in the development advising of the airport and associated over-flights, and all builders shall be encouraged to incorporate interior noise reduction measures in to single family residential structures within the subdivision based on the Metropolitan Council’s Builder Guide. Staff recommended this be a condition in 2nd addition and again recommends it as a condition of 3rd addition. The MAC has not asked to change or add conditions. Building Official/Public Safety Review. Neither department had comments pertaining to the 3rd Addition. Access. There is a connection to Village Parkway, serving as the primary access and circulation route for the development. This phase of development will also connect Village Parkway to Easton Village. Landscape Plans. The City’s Landscape Architect reviewed the landscape plans, and the report is attached. The majority of the comments pertain to spacing issues with utilities, Village Parkway requirements, etc. 3rd Addition 2nd Addition 3 Fortunately there were only 4 findings, but a revised landscape plan and approval from the Landscape Architect will still be required. Buffering. Additional buffering beyond the landscape architects memo will not be required. Generally buffering is needed when a more intense use butts up to a less intense use. Regarding this phase the “use” butts up to an existing use of the same caliber, low density single family. Streets/Sidewalk. The street names proposed on the 3rd addition plat are not consistent with what was provided in the 2nd addition. However, the street naming does match the current ordinance. There are sidewalks shown in the 3rd addition which adhere to the Village Parkway Design standard(s). 153.09 12.) ii. - The names of deflecting streets shall not vary; names of continual streets shall not change, even if the street changes direction, unless an intersection exists. Final Plat Approval Process. The City’s subdivision ordinance establishes the procedure for obtaining final subdivision approval, in which case a final plat may only be reviewed after the City takes action on a preliminary plat. As long as the final plat is consistent with the preliminary approval, it can be approved by the City. Please note that the City’s approval of the Preliminary Plat did include a series of conditions that must be met by the applicant, which are addressed in the “Review and Analysis” section below. There are no public hearing requirements for a final plat. However, because there is an existing easement that needs to be vacated over Outlot A a public hearing was required, which the Planning Commission held. In order to provide the City Council with an update concerning the conditions associated with the preliminary plat for Northport (formerly known as Village Park Preserve), Staff has prepared the following: Preliminary Plat Conditions as designated by Resolution 2014-74 – With Staff Update Comments (updated information in bold italics): 1) The Metropolitan Council must approve the Comprehensive Plan Amendment for the Holliday parcel in advance of the City’s consideration of an application for Final Plat for the Village Park Preserve Subdivision. Comments: The Metropolitan Council approved the Comprehensive Plan Amendment for the Holliday parcel on September 23, 2014, i.e. not applicable. 4 2) In advance of Final Plat application, the applicant shall provide adequate title evidence satisfactory of the City Attorney. Comments: This condition is met. 3) All required modifications to the plans as requested by the City Engineer in a review memorandum dated September 4, 2014 shall be incorporated into the plans prior to consideration of a Final Plat. Comments: The conditions from 2014 were addressed in previous additions. The City Engineer has provided Staff comments for this phase of the development which are in line with the preliminary approval. 4) The Preliminary Plat approval is conditioned upon the applicant meeting all minimum City standards and design requirements. Comments: The City Engineer has approved the Preliminary Plans. 5) The developer shall follow all of the rules and regulations spelled out in the Wetland Conservation Act, and shall acquire the needed permits from Valley Branch Watershed District prior to the commencement of any grading or development activity on the site. Comments: The Applicant will need to obtain a Valley Branch Watershed District permit for the 3rd Addition. 6) Related to the proposed storm water discharge to the south, the Applicant must provide written permission from all property owners of the affected parcels located south of the proposed 30th Street culvert consenting to the discharge location, volume and rate(s) in advance of submitting Final Plat. Comments: The applicant has provided a Drainage and Utility Easement, Temporary Construction Easement, and Right-of-Way easement from the McLeod property, as well as a Temporary Construction Easement from the Krueger property with the 1st Addition. 7) The Applicant shall be responsible for the submission of final plans and the construction of all improvements within the 30th Street right-of-way as required by the City and further described in the review memorandum from the City Engineer dated September 4, 2014. Comments: This condition is met but also not applicable to this addition. 8) The Applicant shall observe all right-of-way and other requirements included in a review memorandum from Washington County dated September 3, 2014. Comment: This condition does not apply to this addition. 9) The Landscape Plan shall be updated per the recommendations of the City’s Landscape Consultant, described in a memo dated September 4, 2014. Tree protection measures for trees intended to be saved according to the submitted Tree Survey must be included in the Final Landscape Plan. Comments: The City Landscape Architect has reviewed the plans and addressed the 3rd addition as it relates to preliminary approval and the City Code. 10) The Applicant must enter into a separate grading agreement with the City prior to the commencement of any grading activity in advance of Final Plat and plan approval. The City Engineer shall review any grading plan that is submitted in advance of Final Plat, and said plan shall document extent of any proposed grading on the site. Comment: Grading for phase 3 will be addressed in the Development Agreement. 11) The Applicant shall install an additional row of trees in the rear of Lots 1-3, Block 1 to provide additional screening for the eastern boundary of the McLeod property to satisfy the condition of approval related to the requested Comprehensive Plan Amendment. Comments: This condition is not applicable to the 3rd Addition. 5 12) 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 the site. Comments: The need for a permit is essential for the entire development but is not as relevant for the 3rd addition. 13) The developer shall submit a letter from the Metropolitan Airports Commission agreeing to design of stormwater facilities acceptable to the City prior to submitting the Final Plat application. Comments. The MAC provided a letter dated December 5, 2014 to the City which indicates that while they do not advocate the construction of open-water retention ponds in close proximity to their airports, but they acknowledge both the engineering challenges on the development site that make the sole use of dry ponds or infiltration basins impractical and the efforts being made by the City to design and construct a regional stormwater retention system to reduce the volume and rate of unmitigated stormwater flowing to parcels in the immediate vicinity of the airport. There are no stormwater ponds created with this phase. Recommended Findings. Staff is recommending that the City council consider the following findings in regards to the proposed Northport 3rd Addition Final Plat: 1) That all the requirements of City Code Section 153.10 related to the Final Plan and Final Plat have been met by the Applicant. 2) That the proposed Final Plat for Northport 3rd Addition consists of the creation of 41 single-family detached residential structures. 3) That the Northport 3rd Addition Final Plat is generally consistent with the Preliminary Plat and Plans as approved by the City of Lake Elmo on September 16, 2014 and as amended on September 6, 2017. 4) That the Northport 3rd Addition Final Plat is consistent with the Lake Elmo Comprehensive Plan and the Future Land Use Map for this area. 5) That the Northport 3rd Addition Final Plat complies with the City’s Urban Low Density Residential zoning district regulations. 6) That the Northport 3rd Addition Final Plat complies with all other applicable zoning requirements, including the City’s landscaping, storm water, sediment and erosion control and other ordinances. 7) That the Northport 3rd Addition Final Plat complies with the City’s subdivision ordinance. 8) That the Northport 3rd Addition Final Plat is generally consistent with the City’s engineering standards with the exception of necessary plan revisions outlined by the City Engineer in his review comments to the City regarding Northport 3rd Addition Final Plat dated February 2, 2020. Recommended Conditions of Approval. Based off of input from other agencies and City departments Staff is recommending the following conditions. 1) Required modifications to final grading, drainage, and erosion control plans, sanitary and storm water management plans, landscape plans, street and utility, etc. shall be reviewed and approved by the City Engineer and applicable Staff prior to the recording of the Final Plat. All changes and modifications to the plans requested by the City Engineer in the memorandums (Final Plat Engineering Review & Final Construction Plans), dated February 10, 2020 addressing Northport 3rd Addition Final Plat shall be incorporated prior to the recording of the final plat. Final Plans and Specifications must be prepared in accordance with City Engineering Design Standards Manual dated April 2019 using City details, plan notes, and specifications. 6 2) All easements as required and approved by the City Engineer and Public Works Director shall be documented on the Final Plat prior to release of the Final Plat for recording. 3) Prior to the execution of the Final Plat by City officials, the Developer shall enter into a Developer’s Agreement acceptable to the City Attorney and approved by the City Council that delineates who is responsible for the design, construction, and payment of the required improvements for the Northport 3rd Addition Final Plat with financial guarantees. 4) The findings outlined in the City Landscape Architects review memo dated January 27, 2020 must be addressed and an updated plan must be approved by the City’s Landscape Architect. 5) A Landscape License Agreement shall be executed for the maintenance of right-of-ways prior to release of the final plat by City Officials. 6) The applicant shall provide a disclosure statement to all first homeowners in the development advising of the airport and associated over-flights, and 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. 7) The Applicant shall provide the City with a copy of the Northern Natural Gas permit and abide by any conditions of approval. 8) The developer shall follow all of the rules and regulations spelled out in the Wetland Conservation Act. 9) The approved plat shall be recorded with Washington County within 180 days after approval, failure to record will cause the approval to become void. RECOMMENDATION Staff recommends, due to consistency with the preliminary plat that the City council approve the Northport 3rd Addition Final Plat with conditions of approval as listed in the Staff report. Suggested motion: “Move to approve Resolution 2020-021 for the Northport 3rd Addition Final Plat with the listed conditions of approval” EASEMENT VACATION Due to an existing easement that resides over OutLot A, which was established during the 2nd Addition, the applicant needs to peruse an easement vacation. If the easement is not vacated the applicant will not be able to plat the property and convert it into single family lots. New easements will be appropriately established to accommodate the needs of the City for the 3rd Addition. Staff is recommending approval of the vacation with conditions. Recommended findings. - That the applicant has fulfilled the City application requirements. 2nd Addition 7 - That the existing easement that resides over Outlot A of the 2nd Addition will no longer serve a functional purpose after the approval and subsequent platting of the Northport 3rd Addition. - That the dedication of new easements will be provided with the recoding of North Port 3rd Addition to provide the same function as the easement that is being vacated. Which is not expected to have a negative impact to the public purpose. Recommended Conditions of Approval. - The final plat of Northport 3rd Addition must be approved by the City Council. - That the dedication of new easements will be provided with the recoding of Northport 3rd Addition to provide the same function as the easement(s) that is being vacated. RECOMMENDATION “Move to approve Resolution 2020-021 approving easement vacation for Outlot A of the Northport 2nd Addition with recommended conditions of approval.” Planning Commission and Staff Review Both the Planning Commission and City Staff recommend approval of the easement vacation. The Commission voted for vacation by a 7-0 vote. ATTACHMENTS: 1. Final Plat and Landscape Plans 2. City Engineer Review Memos dated February 10, 2020 3.

A landscape plan has been submitted that does include all requirements. B. The landscape plan does not meet the landscape layout requirements: Tree Spacing ............................................................................................................... • No driveway conflicts: Trunk of trees shall be 10 feet minimum from the nearest driveway edge. Please provide a paving plan to ensure that there are no driveway conflicts. • No utility conflicts: Trunk of trees shall be 10 feet from the nearest utility, including water and sewer service stubs to each lot. C. Interior Parking Lot Landscaping – The development does not include interior parking lots. D. Perimeter Parking Lot Landscaping – The development does not include perimeter parking lots. E. Screening – A greenbelt buffer with screening is required on the east side of the overall development and is shown on the landscape plans. The landscape plan is consistent with the approved preliminary plat plans and does meet screening requirements. Special Landscape Considerations: A. Village Parkway Collector – The development is along Village Parkway. a. Phase 3 does front Village Parkway and the landscape plan does not meet all requirements. Tree Location with Sidewalk or Trail........................................... 6‐feet back of curb The typical section for south of the railroad tracks on Village Parkway states that all trees should be 6’ from back of curb and 3’ from edge of sidewalk or trail. Tree Spacing ................................................................... Every 75’ on Both Sides All trees along Village Parkway must follow a 75’ spacing, like stated in previous additions of the Northport Development. Ken Roberts Planning Director City of Lake Elmo January 27, 2020 5 T:\6443 Lake Elmo\01 Northport\04 3rd Addition\01 Plan Review\2020-01-22\2020-01-27 Northport Phase 3 Landscape Plan Review.docx Findings: 1. There are several proposed trees that conflict with utilities. See attached figure with conflicting trees highlighted in red. All trees must be 10’ away from any utility line. In previous plan reviews the note, “All trees shall be planted outside of 10’ utility easement, measured from the tree trunk to pipe. The landscape contractor shall be responsible for the field verification of all existing utilities, by calling Gopher One State prior to beginning work. The landscape contractor shall be responsible for the protection and repair of all damaged utilities as a result of landscaping construction at no cost to the owner.” was added to ensure there were no utility conflicts at the time of construction. Please add to Phase 3 sheets to ensure the same guidelines are followed. If there are still conflicts with utilities, some trees may be omitted since more trees are being provided than required. Trees may also be moved to the back of lots, but not planted in an outlot or easement area. Please review and move trees to fit these guidelines accordingly. 2. All trees must be 10’ away from any driveway. The submitted landscape plan does not show proposed driveways, so any conflicts cannot be seen or corrected. A note similar to utility conflicts may be added to ensure there are no driveway conflicts. Trees may be moved to a different location or omitted since more trees are being provided than required. Trees may also be moved to the back of lots, but not planted in an outlot or easement area. Please revise the landscape plan to show proposed driveways and move trees to fit these guidelines accordingly. 3. Because this phase is along Village parkway, all boulevard trees must be 75’ apart. This was the case in previous development phase reviews and will need to be continued for phase three. Please revise the 50’ tree spacing along Village Parkway to 75’ in accordance with code. 4. Because this phase is along Village parkway, all boulevard trees must be 6’ off back of curb and 3’ from edge of sidewalk or trail. It appears that these trees are currently spaced evenly between the sidewalk or trail and back of curb but will need to be adjusted to fit the dimensions provided on the City detail: Village Parkway Collector Typical Sections – South of Railroad Tracks. Please revise the tree spacing to be within the Village Collector guidelines. Recommendation: It is recommended that a condition of approval include: 1. Submit a revised landscape plan.
