Hoelscher adjourned the meeting at 7:56 PM Respectfully Submitted, Rebecca McGuire, Deputy Clerk STAFF REPORT DATE: May 16, 2022 ITEM #: 6 TO: Parks Commission FROM: Ben Hetzel, City Planner AGENDA ITEM: Items for 2023-2027 Parks CIP REVIEWED BY: Marty Powers, Public Works Director Kristina Handt, City Administrator BACKGROUND 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), and equipment and public buildings. The CIP identifies the major projects needed and desired by the community, their potential costs and how they would be financed. A project or purchase identified and budgeted through the CIP does not commit the City to that project. The City Council must specifically authorize each one and the associated funding for the expenditure 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. These adjustments are dependent 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 synch 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 help the City Council sort out competing priorities. 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. ISSUE BEFORE COMMISSION What park improvements would the Commission like to have in the 2023-2027 CIP? When should they be completed? PROPOSAL DETAILS/ANALYSIS There are two projects planned for the 2022 construction season outlined in the 2022-2026 CIP and the 2022 Work Plan. These projects include the following: 1) Neighborhood Trail Connections (Park Dedication Fund) o Connect Ivywood Park to Stonegate Park o Connect Hamlet to Tapestry o Connect Wildflower to Tana Ridge o Pave Stonegate trails connecting to Lake Ridge Crossing 2) Trail Sealcoating (Park Dedication Fund) Additional projects in the 2023-2027 CIP are park play equipment replacement. Several parks have been identified for play equipment replacement. Play equipment has a useful life of 25 years. The Commission should consider to implement CIP placeholders for play equipment that is identified to be replaced beyond 2027 as this will help us with long range planning. The following items will be funded through the Park Dedication Fund. 1. Tablyn Park- Play equipment replacement scheduled for 2024. ($125,000) 2. Stonegate Park- Play equipment replacement scheduled for 2024. ($125,000) 3. Carraige Station- Play equipment replacement scheduled for 2025. ($125,000) 4. Pebble Park- Playground replacement rescheduled for 2024. ($125,000) 5. Demontreville Park- Playground replacement rescheduled for 2024.

If there are other items that the Parks Commission would like to see in the 2023-2027 CIP they should be identified at this time. The Commission should also assign a priority to each project, both new and existing based upon the following framework: 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 if funding is available; may be deferred to a subsequent year. 4. Less important, low-priority projects; desirable but not essential. 5. Future Consideration. When determining a project, the Commission should keep in mind the requirements set out in the City Code. Section 154.15 (F) Park Dedication Fund (1) A cash contribution paid to the City shall be placed in a special fund. The money shall be used only for: (a) The acquisition and development or improvement of parks, recreational facilities, playgrounds, trails, wetlands or open space based on the approved park systems plan; (b) Redevelopment or rehabilitation of existing park facilities or sites; or (c) Debt service in connection with land previously acquired or improvements thereto previously constructed.

The proposed PUD would include a 190-unit apartment building on the northern half of the property and a preschool/childcare center, known as the Goddard School, on the southeast corner of the site. (Please refer to the attached narratives and maps for more information about this proposal). ISSUES BEFORE THE PARKS COMMISSION: The Commission is respectfully requested to review and provide feedback to the developer, and make a recommendation to the City Council for the Preliminary PUD as it pertains to park land or park fund dedication. GENERAL INFORMATION: Applicant: SRD 2.0 LLC of 900 N. Third Street, Minneapolis, MN 55401 Property Owner: DPS-Lake Elmo, LLC of 6007 Culligan Way, Minnetonka, MN 55345 Location: North of Hudson Boulevard, west of Julia Avenue PID#: 34.029.21.34.0012 Request: Preliminary PUD Plan approval Site Area: 14.15 acres Land Use Guidance: 2040 Comprehensive Plan – Mixed Use Commercial Zoning: RT - Rural Development Transitional Proposed Zoning: MU-C PUD (Mixed Use Commercial/PUD) Surrounding Land Use Guidance: Mixed Use Commercial to the west, Medium Density Residential to the North, High-density residential (The Springs) across Julia Avenue to the east, and Hudson Boulevard and I-94 to South. History: The property has been used as rural vacant land with a pole building used storage and possibly as a homestead. A large portion of the eastern part of the site is covered in trees. Deadline for Action: Application Complete – 5/5/2022 60 Day Deadline – 7/4/2022 Extension Letter Mailed – N/A 120 Day Deadline – N/A Applicable Code: Article 14 – Mixed Use Commercial District Section 105.12.290 – Conditional Use Permits Article 18 – Planned Unit Development Regulations Title 103 – Subdivision Regulations Page 2 PRELIMINARY PUD PLAN REVIEW PUD Review Process. The City Code for PUD’s requires several steps in the project review and approval process which can be found in Article 18. The Planning Commission will hold a public hearing at their May 23rd meeting. PROPOSAL DETAILS/ANALYSIS: The proposed mixed-use development will be located on the property located on the south west intersection of Hudson Boulevard and Julia Avenue. The proposed development would have a mix of land uses including a 190-unit apartment building and a preschool/child care center for up to 188 children. The development is proposed as a PUD because the developer is requesting flexibility from the strict zoning regulations of the MU-C zoning district by having a mix of land uses, by having reduced setbacks for parking areas and to increase the allowed residential density through the use of amenity points. Consistency with Proposed MU-C District. The proposed development requires City approval of a Zoning Map Amendment to rezone the property to Mixed Use Commercial (MU-C) (from the current RT (rural transition)) zoning designation. As such, staff reviewed the proposed General PUD Concept Plan against the standards including setbacks, impervious coverage, etc. of the Mixed Use Commercial zoning district. Standard MU-C Required Proposed Density 10-15 units per acre 15.57 units per acre (10.819 acre lot + 1.378 ROW dedication) Impervious Surface Maximum 75% 37% Minimum Lot Width 60 feet per residential building and 100 for non-residential Met for both buildings. Minimum Lot Area (per Unit) N/A 2,467 square feet Front Yard Setback (from Julia) 20 feet Met for both buildings Interior Side Yard 10 feet Met for both buildings Corner Side Yard 10 feet Met for both buildings Rear Yard Setback (Building) 20 feet Met for both buildings Parking Setback (from residential zones) 35 feet 20 feet Parking Not to be located in the front yard or between the front façade and street. Parking is located in front of the proposed child care center, though this parking lot design is consistent the design of parking lots for commercial/office buildings and would not be parking for the residential buildings on the site. Open space 300 square feet of common open space provided per unit. To be determined Site Data (Residential Portion). The entire subdivision/PUD area is 14.14 gross acres. Of the 14.15 gross acres, the developer is proposing to develop 10.819 acres with 190 apartment units. The proposed residential element of the PUD would have a net density of 15.57 du/acre. Site Data (Goddard School) The PUD also includes a preschool/child care center called the Goddard School that would be on 1.94 acres located on the southeast corner of the site. This plan includes a 13,300 square foot building designed for up to 188 children and staff, outdoor play grounds, and 49 parking spaces for staff and parents. Bonus Density. The City’s PUD ordinance requires the developer to provide enhanced design and/or amenities with their projects for increased density. In this case, because the applicant is proposing a housing density of 15.57 units per acre, the developer will need to justify the increased housing density above the allowed density range 10-15 units per acre of the MU-C land use designation. To justify the additional density the developer would provide 45% of the Page 3 required parking in an underground garage. Underground parking is to justify consideration of approval for increased density. Sidewalks. The City’s standard street detail requires a 6 foot wide public sidewalk be constructed on one side of any public street. The proposed concept plan shows private driveways and roads internal to the site with a series of sidewalks connecting the public street to the building. Trails. The Comprehensive Plan’s Trail Plan shows a road separated planned trail along Julia Avenue along the east side of the development. The proposed site plan for this PUD shows a six-foot-wide concrete sidewalk along Julia Avenue. The trail Comprehensive plan also shows an on road striped should trail connection along Hudson Blvd. The City should require the developer to install the planned trail(s), sidewalks and a crosswalk with pedestrian ramps where needed as part of this development. Park Dedication Criteria: The City Code outlines the type of land that is considered acceptable for park dedication (Section 153.15 Park Land Dedication Requirements). 153.15 Parkland Dedication Requirements. (C) Land acceptability. The City must approve the location and configuration of any park land which is proposed for dedication and shall take into consideration the suitability of the land and for its intended purpose; the future needs of the City for parks, playgrounds, trails, or open space; and the recommendations of the City’s Parks Commission. The following properties shall not be accepted for park land dedications: (1) Land dedicated or obtained as easements for streets, sewer, electrical, gas, storm water drainage and retention areas, or other similar utilities and improvements; (2) Land which is unusable or of limited use; and/or (3) Land within a protected wetland or within a flood plain area unless the Council determines that all of the following criteria are satisfied: (a) Would be in the best interests of the general public; (b) Would be valuable resource for environmental preservation, educational, or habitat preservation purposes; (c) Has an exceptional aesthetic value; and (d) Would not become financially burdensome to the City as a result of maintenance or preservation requirements. With the proposed development consisting of 14.15 acres, and the required parkland dedication for the Mixed Use – Commercial zoning district is 10%. The required amount of the fees would be 10% of the purchase price of the property, which has yet to be determined. The physical park dedication requirement for a 14.15 acre development would be 1.42 acres of parkland. Though the City can accept a combination of both land and fee or just fees. The developer proposes to provide a fee in lieu of land and staff supports this proposal. Page 4 RECOMMENDATION: Staff is recommending that the Parks Commission recommend approval of the Preliminary PUD for the property located on the north side of Hudson Boulevard, west of Julia Avenue subject to the following conditions: 1. That all trails and sidewalks (public and private) be located outside of storm water ponding areas and wetland buffer zones. 2. That trails be provided as required on Hudson Boulevard and Julia Avenue. 3. That the final Preliminary Plat and PUD meet the requirements of the City’s engineering design standards. 4. That the final Preliminary Plat and PUD meet the city code requirements for tree preservation/planting and that the landscape plan be approved by the City’s Landscape Architect. 5. That the developer provide the City fees in lieu of park land dedication as may be recommended by the Parks Commission and as required by Section 153.14 with future final plat. FISCAL IMPACT: None so long as the fee in lieu of land is collected. When the property develops, it will have urban services and will pay sewer and water connection charges, building permit fees and the like that the developer and/or contractors will pay. If park dedication fees are accepted the City will receive 10% of the land value in park dedication payment. RECOMMENDED FINDINGS: Based on the above comments and analysis, Staff is recommending that the Parks Commission recommend approval of the PUD Concept Plan as described above. Staff is making these recommendations based on the following findings: 1. The developer proposes to provide a fee in lieu of land to meet the park land requirement. The City will need accept park dedication payment in lieu of land to satisfy the park dedication requirements of the Zoning Code. 2. With none of the internal trail or sidewalks being public the City does not find that a trail dedication credit can be applied to the development. Furthermore, the trails that are required along Hudson Blvd. and Julia Ave. are required improvements, which would not allow them to qualify for trail credit. RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends that the Parks Commission recommend to the City Council that the City collect park dedication payment instead of physical land. “Motion to recommend approval of the Preliminary PUD with the acceptance of park dedication funds in lieu of physical land supported by the cited findings.” ATTACHMENTS: 1.

Property Address: 9450 Hudson Boulevard, Lake Elmo, MN 55042 Legal Description: Outlot B, DPS LAKE ELMO, Washington County, MN, Abstract Property PID: 3402921340012 Parcel Size: 14.143 acres OR 616,076 square feet Current Zoning: The existing zoning of the property is Rural Transitional. The property is currently vacated. A listing of general information including: the proposed name of the subdivision, the number of proposed lots, acreage dedicated for open space or public use, acreage dedicated within rights of way. The proposed PUD includes the redevelopment of a 14.143-acre property into a mixed-use PUD featuring residential and commercial uses. The property is currently an Outlot, and this application includes a preliminary plat to subdivide, and plat, the property into two separate lots and also includes the dedication of Julia Avenue to the City as a public right of way. Lot 1, Block 1, Foxberry Addition, will be 10,819 acres in size. Lot 2, Block 1, Foxberry Addition, will be 1.946 acres in size. The right of way will include 1.378 acres. The entire property will be zoned MU-C. Please see the Preliminary Plat for reference. An explanation of how issues have been addressed since the Sketch Plat phase of the development. The preliminary plat remains in line with what was previously submitted to the City. A narrative explaining the intent of the project and/or your original or revised vision for the finished product. The proposed project includes a single, four-story apartment building consisting of 190 market rate apartment units ranging in size from studio to three-bedrooms, one level of underground parking, dedicated surface parking, indoor and outdoor amenity spaces, and various site improvements and infrastructure. The commercial component of the proposed project will be located at the southeast corner of the property at the intersection of Hudson Boulevard and Julia Avenue and includes a single, slab-on- grade building in which will be utilized as a preschool/childcare center, known as The Goddard School. This component of the project includes a an approximately 13,000 square foot building designed for up to 188 children and staff, outdoor play area, and 49 surface parking spaces. The plat/subdivision is being requested due to Lot 1 and Lot 2 being under different ownerships at the time of development. The entire property is currently under contract with the Applicant, SRD 2.0, LLC and once platted, Lot 2 will be sold to a third party, Goldridge Companies, for the development of their preschool/childcare center. A statement showing the proposed density of the project with the method of calculating said density shown. The proposed land use is consistent with the 2040 Comprehensive Plan for Future Land Use designation of Mixed Use-Commercial (MU-C). The MU-C designation allows for up to 15 units per acre. The Applicant is requesting approval of a density of 16.35 units per acre, permitted through the PUD ordinance for the City Council to approve up to 20% bonus density based on provision of certain site amenities. The residential portion of the PUD, Lot 1, includes 190 apartment units, totaling 15.57 units per acre (inclusive of Lot 1 and Right of Way land area from the Preliminary Plat). The Applicant is requesting approval of a density of up to 16.35 units per acre, from the max density of 15 units per acre in a MU-C district, by adding Amenity Area’s for Amenity Points. As such, the Applicant is requesting 9 amenity points for a 9% increase in residential density. The proposed amenity points include Underground Parking: Requesting 9 points. 45% of required parking will be enclosed, underground. For the Applicant to provide these stalls, the Applicant proposes a monthly fee for the underground parking stalls and no fee for the surface parking stalls. In the Pre-Application PUD, it was indicated that staff would likely recommend approval of density points for underground parking. Discuss proposed infrastructure improvements and phasing thereof (i.e. proposed roadways, sewer systems, water systems, sidewalks/trails, parking, etc) necessary to serve the subdivision. The proposed development plan shows private driveways and roads internal to the site with a series of sidewalks connecting the building to site amenities, to a sidewalk along Julia Avenue and to the trail along Hudson Boulevard. When the property is developed, it will have urban services and will pay sewer and water connection charges, building permit fees, park dedication fees and the like that the applicant and/or the contractors will pay. Regarding the park dedication, the applicant is currently assuming a fee of $6,000/acre in lieu of land dedication. Please see development plans for more detailed information. A narrative addressing concerns/issues raised by neighboring properties (discussing your proposal with the neighboring landowners is recommended to get a sense of what issues may arise as your application is processed). The property is surrounding by various land uses, includes Medium Density Residential (MDR) to the North, Mixed Use-Commercial (MU-C) to the East, MU-C to the West, and Hudson Boulevard and I-94 to the South. Previous development efforts were presented to the community and City by a separate entity a handful of years ago and the project did not proceed. With this, there has been an understanding that this property would be developed into multifamily and commercial projects. Conversations have been had between the Applicant and the landowner to the North regarding potential air easements that may be needed for the multifamily project. That landowner has expressed approval for such easements once the time approaches. A description of how conflicts with nearby land uses (livability, value, potential future development, etc.) and/or disturbances to wetlands or natural areas are being avoided or mitigated. As mentioned above, the property is surrounded by similar, and complimentary, land uses. The proposed land use is consistent with the 2040 Comprehensive Plan for Future Land Use designation of Mixed Use-Commercial (MU-C). The proposed development will require City approval of a Zoning Map Amendment to officially zone the property to MU-C from the property’s current Rural Transition (RT) zoning designation. The development plans set forth for the proposed project have been created to avoid any disturbance that may be created to nearby wetlands or natural areas. Additionally, the development of the property will include improvements along both Julia Avenue and Hudson Road. The property will also provide additional stormwater management to the developments. Provide justification that the proposal will not place an excessive burden on roads (traffic), sewage, water supply, parks, schools, fire, police, or other public facilities/services (including traffic flows) in the area. With the improvements to Hudson Road and along Julia Avenue, the project will not place an excessive burden on roads and other public infrastructure, rather these improvements will provide better services to the site occupants, neighborhood, and visitors. Additionally, private funds are being used to ensure that adequate infrastructure and connections are provided on the property to ensure the needs and requirements are being met of the surrounding infrastructure, services, and community. If applicable, provide a description of proposed lakeshore access (i.e. shared dock with multiple slips, individual docks for each lot, etc.). Not applicable. A description of proposed parks and/or open space. Please include a brief statement on the proposed ownership and maintenance of said areas. The property will include open space throughout the property. Aside from the sidewalk additions and improvements along both street frontages, Lot 1 of the project will include various open areas inclusive of: sidewalks, green space, and stormwater pond with trail surround. There is a gas line easement that exist on the western portion of the property, providing the ability to use this space for an ample amount of outdoor recreation space. These on-site areas and improvements will be maintained by the owner of Lot 1 and will benefits occupants of the multifamily development. A proposed development schedule indicating the approximate date when construction of the project, or stages of the same, can be expected to begin and be completed (including the proposed phasing of construction of public improvements and recreational and common space areas). It is anticipated that development at the property for both Lot 1 and Lot 2 will begin in August 2022. The construction schedule for Lot 1 will be for 17 months with building completion anticipated for mid-January 2024. The construction schedule for Lot 2 will be for 6 months with the building completion anticipated for February 2023.
