PARKS COMMISSION
DATE: 7-18-22
TO: Parks Commission
FROM: Ben Hetzel, City Planner & Molly Just, Planning Director
AGENDA ITEM: Schiltgen East Preliminary PUD and Plat
BACKGROUND:
The City has received a request from Inland Development Partners LLC for review Preliminary Planned Unit
Development (PUD) and Plat. This development was brought before the Parks Commission at the April 18,
2022 meeting to provide feedback and make a recommendation regarding park dedication requirements. The
Parks Commission recommended taking 3.2 acres of land for future park space at the April 18, 2022 meeting.
The initial proposal during the Pre-application phase was for a 130-unit apartment building, a 42-unit senior
housing building, and 136 townhouses (308 total units). The two multifamily buildings proposed during pre-
application have now been replaced with 97 attached townhomes, decreasing the total units to 244. This project
requires approval of a PUD, plat and a zoning map amendment (rezoning) to the land use designations guided
by the Comprehensive Plan.
The initial proposal lacked means of a required secondary access to a public right of way. All vehicles were
proposed to funnel from and to Stillwater Boulevard. The Comprehensive Plan depicts a future Village Parkway
going through the site and intersecting with Stillwater Boulevard at 39th Street, creating a four-way intersection.
Such connection would not be provided with this project as-is. The applicant is now proposing/requesting to
construct a new road with 25 parking stalls through the north end of VFW Park.
ISSUE BEFORE THE PARKS COMMISSION:
The Parks Commission is being asked to review the preliminary PUD and plat to provide feedback and a
recommendation on the proposal to construct a new road with 25 parking spaces through the north end of
VFW Park.
GENERAL INFORMATION:
Property Owner: Peter J. Schiltgen of 11351 Upper 33rd Street N, Unit A, Lake Elmo, MN 55042
Applicant: Inland Development Partners, LLC
Location: South side of the intersection of 39th Rd. N. and Stillwater Blvd: PID: 3402921340012
Site Area: 31.8 acres
Land Use Guidance: 2040 Comprehensive Plan – Village High-Density Residential, Village Medium-
Density Residential and Public/Semi-Public
Zoning: Rural Transitional
Surrounding Land Use Guidance: Commercial and Village-Mixed Use to the North, Public/Semi-
Public to the South, Village Medium-Density Residential to the East, and Village-Mixed Use and Park
to the West. Comprehensive Plan depicts extension of the Village Parkway through the property.
PARKS PROPOSAL DETAILS/ANALYSIS:
The applicant states that the secondary access to the proposed development will be temporary until future
development allows access to the planned Village Parkway on the east side of the development. Inland
Development is requesting an easement through VFW Park to allow road placement. The easement would be
dedicated to the City once a new secondary access has been established.
City staff has concerns regarding the proposed parking space locations. The parking spaces are proposed directly
adjacent to the right field fence line of VFW ballpark. Construction of the parking spaces would require the
2
removal of mature trees and the relocation of spectator seating and overhead lighting. There is also a high
probability of foul balls striking parked cars. Relocation of parking spaces is preferred.
The City Engineer has recommended denial of the Preliminary Plat as presented until the plans are significantly
revised to be in compliance with the secondary access requirements and City Design Standards as per the
attached memo dated July 13, 2022.
OPTIONS:
The Commission may recommend to that:
Recommend to construct a new road with 25 parking spaces through the north end of VFW Park.
Recommend against constructing a new road with 25 parking spaces through the north end of VFW Park.
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends the Parks Commission review the proposed Planned Unit Development (PUD) Plan Pre-
Application & Plat Sketch Plan Review and make recommendation about the proposal to construct a new road
with 25 parking spaces through the north end of VFW Park.

City of Lake Elmo – June 22, 2022
PUD Preliminary Plan Resubmittal – Completeness Letter Response Memo
Southwest & Southeast Quadrant, Stillwater Boulevard and 39th Street N
This memo serves as a response to the ‘Schiltgen East - Preliminary Plat/PUD & Zoning Map
Amendment’ completeness email, dated June 17, 2022. The applicant’s comments are provided below.
COMMENT / RESPONSE
ITEM 1) Address fire, engineering, and landscape items from the concept plan memo.
Response: Please see attached memos with Alliant responses in RED
ITEM 2) Existing conditions inadequate
Response: An updated existing conditions denotes within 150’ from the property line
on all sides and a new exhibit of adjoining parcels and owners within 350’ on all sides
has been provided.
ITEM 3) Preliminary plat is incomplete (doesn’t appear to show all proposed lots or ROW).
Response: An updated Preliminary plat with all proposed lots and ROW has been
provided.
ITEM 4) Narrative doesn’t say what relief is needed/terms of the PUD.
Response: The applicant requests three items of relief for the PUD designation in return
for the remediation of an existing flooding condition, access to future development
consistent with the 2040 Comprehensive Plan, and 3.2 acres of park dedication: 1)
Reduced front setback for the IDP Townhome rentals. 2) Easement access through the
VFW Park for the secondary access until future development to the East and West
connects through the adjacent properties. 3) Reduced ROW standards.
1. The development is split between M/I Homes (147 units for sale) to the South and
IDP (97 units for rent) to the North. While the M/I Townhomes meet HDR
standards, the IDP Townhome Rentals request an overall reduction of the front yard
setback from 20 feet to 10 feet. The support behind this is to reduce the amount of
impervious material overall to help with stormwater design efforts while providing a
higher quality of development. The reduced stormwater area based on impervious
calculations allows the development to achieve 10% of park dedication.
2. The secondary access is now proposed through the VFW Park to the West of the
Property. It is understood that summer events such as the “Huff n’ Puff Days” lack
parking stalls with many visitors parking on adjacent properties and streets. IDP
requests an easement through this park to install a new road with 25 new parking
stalls as a temporary solution until future development allows a third access point
2
through the Property to the adjacent parcels. Once future development is
connected to the planned future access, the easement will be dedicated to the City.
3. The 60 foot ROW standard is requested to be reduced to 56 feet. Alliant has
increased road width from 26 feet to 28 feet (as requested by engineering
comments) with a section showing all street requirements (i.e., utilities, sidewalks,
& road) can be achieved within the 56 foot ROW.
ITEM 5) Abutter notification labels were not provided.
Response: The notification labels are provided digitally and will also be delivered by
hand on 6/20/22.
ITEM 6) The plat application requires substantial narrative about the project and how it has
evolved since the sketch/concept plan along with how the issues identified in the sketch plan
have been addressed.
Response: From the application submitted as part of the Pre-application and Plat and
Sketch Plan, the following changes have occurred:
1. The previous proposal included a 130-unit apartment building and a 42-unit senior
housing building, and 136 attached single-family buildings, a total of 308 units. The
two multi-family buildings originally proposed are replaced with 97 attached
townhomes. Total units are now 244. In substance, the other components of the
concept land use plan remain the unchanged.
2. The secondary access point has been shifted from the approximate Upper 33rd
Street North location to the north edge of the VFW Baseball field. This roadway will
serve as a secondary access until the City is able to secure an alternative future
access location further south in the approximate location of Road H.
Consistency with Planned Unit Development Regulations.
Innovation in land development techniques. The intent of Article XVII is to provide for
flexibility in the use and design of land in the City of Lake Elmo. As mentioned, the
subject property has been used for commercial agricultural purposes for several
decades and has few unique features to be preserved or enhanced. The primary design
principle associated with the subject property is the clustering of buildings in a manner
that 1) Allows for the collection and treatment of flood waters from off-site properties,
and 2) Incorporating recreational and revegetation areas of native plantings. To
accomplish this intent, most of the 244 units are clustered to the northerly area of the
property. Flood waters are directed to the southerly part of the site and design to
support native revegetation.
Provision of a more adequate, usable, and suitably located open space, recreational
amenities and other public facilities. The proposed site plan clusters approximately six
(6) acres in the southerly part of the property for a combined park and open space
facility. The park space accommodates pedestrian trails, play and gathering areas,
restorative native plantings areas, interpretative signage, and water features through
the collection and storage of existing floodway conditions. All amenities are designed to
become part of a larger downtown Lake Elmo gathering and community outdoor
gathering area. The opportunity exists for these 6 acres to become part of, and fully
3
integrated into, a larger more diverse and comprehensive downtown Lake Elmo
recreational and gathering facility with the potential to become a Citywide destination
for all Lake Elmo residents.
Accommodation of housing of all types with convenient access to employment
opportunities and/or commercial facilities; and especially to create additional
opportunities for senior and affordable housing. The proposed plan consists of four (4)
distinct types of townhome product. Of the 244 total units, 97 units will be rental and
the remaining 147 units will be for sale product. Both rental and for sale product types
are designed to meet the needs of two distinct demographic groups. The aging
millennials (30 years plus) are looking for a larger, more private home to rent or own
than typical, smaller footprint apartments. We anticipate the majority of these renters
and buyers will be new residents to Lake Elmo. The active senior group (55 years plus)
have likely sold their traditional single-family home and are looking to downsize to
either a rental or for sale home that provides maintenance free living. The active senior
renter/buyer is most likely a current Lake Elmo resident desiring to stay in the general
vicinity.
Coordination of architectural styles and building forms to achieve greater
compatibility within the development and surrounding land uses. The overarching
architectural theme of all product types is to generally remain compatible with the
existing building material and palettes found in the greater downtown Lake Elmo area.
Pitched roofs, lap siding, neutral earth color tones, with accent brick and/or stone will
characterize building exteriors.
Higher standards of site and building design than would otherwise be provided under
conventional land development technique. Please refer to previous comments
regarding efforts to mitigate area-wide flooding, and to provide enhanced open space
and park amenities. We respectfully submit each item meets a “higher standard” than
what might otherwise be provided.
ITEM 7) The project proposes a second access where there is no frontage (VFW Park) and that
is not explained and neither is there a proposal for how that second access would come
about. The same should be addressed with the other proposed future access point. What
provisions will be made for this project to make future connections?
Response: Please see third paragraph (Item #2) response in item 4.
ITEM 8) The plans are not well organized. Since the property has to be split into sections
there should be a key for each plan type.
Response: The plan set now displays a Key Map denoting location of sheet.

Cc: Concept Plan Review
From: Jack Griffin, P.E., City Engineer
Engineering has reviewed the Concept Site Plan for the Schiltgen East Concept Plan date February 28, 2022.
Alliant Engineering Responses in RED
1. See attached red lined concept plan sheets 3 and 4.
• Site Plan and Utility Plan revised per markups
2. Village Parkway design standards have been provided to the developer and their engineer. Village
Parkway is presented on this concept plan with many design exceptions that cannot be permitted,
including reduced right‐of‐way widths, lack of required turn lanes at both intersections, lack of
intersection tangents, undocumented horizontal curvatures, lack of intersection alignment at the
intersection of CSAH 14 and 39th Street, and lacking both a trail and sidewalk as required. Future
submittals should include a typical section of Village Parkway.
• Village Parkway Right of Way widths increased per markup. Turn lanes added in locations as
directed. Horizontal curve Radii added to site plan. Intersection aligned at CSAH 14. Sidewalk
and trail added throughout site and trail along CSAH 14.
3. Connectivity from Village Parkway to Downtown (through the future 36th Street) is very circuitous.
• Noted, Curve and ghosted circuitous right of way eliminated per previous comments.
4. Internal roadway widths and right‐of‐way widths remain inadequate. Future submittals should include
typical sections for each proposed roadway showing roadway purpose and meeting city minimum
standards. Parking internal to the site appears inadequate.
• Right of Way and road widths shown on site plan. 25ft setback to sidewalk has been addressed
in the for-sale townhome area allowing for 2 internal and 2 external vehicles (4 stalls per unit).
Additional guest parking stalls around amenity clubhouse (22 stalls) and throughout rental area
(7 stalls)
5. Minimum allowed Front setback is 25 feet to ensure sidewalks remain unobstructed.
• Site plan revised to meet 25-foot sidewalk setback in for-sale area. In rental area, sidewalks
provided at rear entrance allowing 2 internal and 2 external vehicles (4 stalls per unit).
6. Dedicated parking should be presented along the south side of 36th Street adjacent to park/open space.
• Parking added near park/open space (10 stalls)
7. A paved trail is required along CSAH 14.
• Trail added
8. Secondary access is required based on the proposed density. The dedicated emergency access does not
replace this need.
• A Secondary access is being proposed through the existing city park in exchange for adding
additional parking facilities near ball field (24 stalls). Emergency access removed from plan.
9. Temporary emergency access appears problematic from an implementation stand point. There is no
assurance that the roadway remains accessible to emergency vehicles. There is no assurance that local
traffic and parking does not utilize the corridor.
• Emergency access removed from plan. Signage denoted on Site Plan.
10. Watermain and sanitary sewer Utility corridors appear too narrow for adequate maintenance
accessibility.
• Watermain and Sanitary separation distances shown to be 20ft from adjacent lot lines on
private streets. Precise distances called out on utility plan. Storm sewer removed from Road G
to shift Water and Sewer to be centered in private road.
11. Stormwater discharge to the existing 60‐inch storm sewer pipe is not permitted. Stormwater cannot be
redirected to the existing infiltration basin. Stormwater management must direct off‐site flow to follow
existing drainage patterns.
• Alliant Engineering obtained the Valley Branch Watershed District XPSWMM hydraulic model
for the area upstream (West and North) of the site. Proposed development provides an
increase in flood storage below the 100yr HWL to alleviate historical upstream flooding
conditions as described in other parts of this response.

MEMORANDUM
Date: July 13, 2022
To: Molly Just, Planning Director Re: Schiltgen East
Cc: Marty Powers, Public Works Director Preliminary Plat/Plan Review
Chad Isakson, Assistant City Engineer
From: Jack Griffin, P.E., City Engineer
An engineering review has been completed for the Schiltgen East Preliminary Plat/Plans received on June 27,
2022. The submittal consisted of the following documentation:
Schiltgen East PUD & Preliminary Plat/Plans, dated June 21, 2022.
Schiltgen East Stormwater Management Plan, dated June 24, 2022.
Schiltgen East PUD Preliminary Plan Submittal Completeness Letter, dated June 22, 2022.
STATUS/FINDINGS: Engineering recommends denial of the Preliminary Plat as presented. Should be applicant
desire to continue to move forward with development of the property it is recommended that the plans be
significantly revised to be in compliance with the secondary access requirements and City Design Standards dated
January 2022. In particular the proposed preliminary plat fails to provide adequate public right‐of‐way, adequate
public streets, and the application provided an incomplete grading and storm water management plan.
Engineering believes that once these items are corrected, the preliminary plan will contain significant revisions.
EXISTING CONDITIONS
1. No existing condition information has been provided along the proposed secondary access at the VFW
Park. Additional existing condition information is required for a minimum distance of 150 feet from all
parcel boundaries and construction limits for any off‐site improvements required for the development.
2. Show all buildings and provide all low floor elevations for all buildings adjacent to proposed stormwater
areas, including Outlot A, Outlot G and the proposed drainage swale along the western part of the
development. Low floor elevations are required to demonstrate a minimum 2 ft above any proposed 100‐
year HWL.
3. Provide the trunk sanitary sewer easement along the east parcel line, within 150 ft of proposed plat.
4. Provide culvert inverts for all existing culverts along Stillwater Boulevard (CSAH 14).
5. Label all contours in the Stillwater Boulevard (CSAH 14) right‐of‐way.
PRELIMINARY PLAT
1. Revise the preliminary plat/plans to provide the required 10‐foot dedicated drainage and utility easements
along all public right‐of‐way. All required easements are missing from the preliminary plat documents.
2. Revise right‐of‐way width for Road A, C, D, and E to meet city minimum required 60 feet.
3. Provide dedicated minimum 60‐foot right‐of‐way for Roads F and G, or remove proposed public watermain
and public sanitary sewer from within the private roadway corridors.
4. Provide dedicated right‐of‐way/roadway easement for Road I on the preliminary plat/plans.

5. Add the required off‐site permanent roadway easement that will be necessary to construct Road I adjacent
to the plat. Show proposed easement on the preliminary plat/plans and submit evidence from property
owner that easement can be acquired.
6. Add the required off‐site permanent roadway easement that will be necessary to construct a full roadway
intersection at Village Parkway and Road B. Show proposed easement on the preliminary plat and submit
evidence from property owner that easement can be acquired.
7. Revise the north end right‐of‐way of Road C to provide a city standard cul‐de‐sac, or remove driveway
access along any street segment beyond the intersection (Lots 1, 2, and 3, Block 1).
8. Increase Road B right‐of‐way at east end along the turn lane to provide the minimum city standard
boulevard width.
9. Revise right‐of‐way for the Road A and Road B intersection, and Road A and Road D intersection to
accommodate the minimum required 50‐foot tangent in all directions.
10. Revise right‐of‐way for Road F to intersect with Road E at 90‐degrees with 50‐ft tangents.
11. Identify ownership for all Outlots on the Preliminary Plat.
12. Revise the preliminary plat/plans to provide a drainage and utility easement over all of Outlot A (proposed
storm water BMP).
13. Revise preliminary plat to provide a separate Outlot for the proposed storm water BMP on Outlot G.
Provide a drainage and utility easement over all of the storm water BMP Outlot, fully incorporating the
100‐year HWL area and all maintenance access routes.
14. Revise preliminary plat to provide a separate Outlot for the proposed storm water drainage systems along
Outlot H. Provide a drainage and utility easement over all of the storm water drainage system Outlot, fully
incorporating the 100‐year HWL area.
15. The preliminary plat must be revised to provide dedicated drainage and utility easements for all public
watermain, public sanitary sewer and public storm sewer with a minimum of 15‐feet from centerline for all
pipe systems, unless the 15‐foot offset resides fully within the public right‐of‐way.
16. Revise Preliminary Plat/Plans to provide minimum 30‐foot‐wide dedicated drainage and utility easement
between Block 1 and Block 2 for storm sewer run CBMH 102 to FES 100 (including no building footing
encroachment).
17. Revise Preliminary Plat/Plans to provide minimum 30‐foot‐wide dedicated drainage and utility easement
between Block 48 and Block 49 for storm sewer run CBMH 301 to FES 300 (including no building footing
encroachment).
SITE PLANS AND TRANPORTATION IMPROVEMENTS
1. Revise the Site Plans to show all revised Preliminary Plat information identified above, including Outlots,
Outlot ownership, minimum required right‐of‐way widths, all dedicated drainage and utility easements,
and all off‐site easements required to construct the proposed improvements.
2. Stillwater Boulevard (CSAH 14) Improvements: The development will require the construction of an
eastbound dedicated right turn lane on Stillwater Boulevard at the new Village Parkway intersection
(entrance to the developing parcel). The preliminary plat/plans must be revised to show this public
improvement to be constructed as part of the development improvements.
3. Stillwater Boulevard (CSAH 14) Trail Improvements. The preliminary plans show the construction of the
required bituminous trail along the full length of CSAH 14. However, the trail will need to be located to
accommodate the right turn lane at Village Parkway, and also provide the required minimum boulevard for
snow storage, as determined by Washington County.
4. Village Parkway Improvements. The preliminary plans show the construction of a portion of Village
Parkway from the CSAH 14 intersection to the edge of the plat. The preliminary plans must be revised to
include the Village Parkway typical sections (with and without turn lanes) to demonstrate that the
improvements are being proposed as required by the adopted Village Parkway design standards. The plans
do not provide sufficient information for staff review. At a minimum the Village Parkway improvements are
missing the east side sidewalk, boulevard trees, and street light requirements.
5. The preliminary plans must be revised to show a fully constructed intersection at Road B and Village
Parkway. The plans must show the proposed off‐site easement necessary to construct this intersection.
PAGE 3 of 5
6. Revise street width for Road A, C, and D to meet minimum required 28 feet (face of curb to face of curb).
7. Revise street width for Road H to meet minimum required 32 feet (face of curb to face of curb).
8. Revise the plat/plans to provide a dedicated right‐of‐way/roadway easement for Road I on the site plans,
including both on‐site and off‐site dedications.
9. All street intersections must be at 90 degrees and maintain 50 feet of tangent with maximum slopes of
2.5%. Revise the Road A and Road B intersection, and Road A and Road D intersection to provide minimum
required 50‐foot tangent in all directions, including accompanying right‐of‐way.
10. Revise right‐of‐way for Road F to intersect with Road E at 90‐degrees with 50‐ft tangents.
11. Revise the plans to provide the dedicated minimum 60‐foot right‐of‐way for Roads F and G, or remove
proposed public watermain and public sanitary sewer from within the private roadway corridors. These
roadways are being constructed to serve all public roadway purposes but do not comply with most public
roadway standards.
12. Revise the north end right‐of‐way of Road C to provide a city standard cul‐de‐sac, or remove driveway
access along any street segment beyond the intersection (Lots 1, 2, and 3, Block 1).
13. Remove driveway access from Road B along the dedicated turn lane (Lots 1‐5, Block 24).
14. The plans must be revised to include a typical section for each public and private roadway proposed within
the development, including Road I. Typical sections must include all details shown in the city design
standard typical details, including right‐of‐way widths, 10‐foot easements adjacent to all right‐of‐way,
boulevard tree locations, sidewalks and trail details.
15. Revise the plans to provide a sidewalk along one side of all public streets as required per city design
standards. In multi‐family areas the city should consider requiring sidewalks along both sides of all public
streets. At a minimum, sidewalks should be required along both sides of Road B and Road H. The proposed
plan presents a poorly connected public pedestrian network that is not consistent with the Village area
walkable Downtown. Instead, private sidewalks are proposed in locations requiring frequent mid‐ block
street crossings.
16. Revise the Preliminary Plat front yard setback to be consistent with the typical Townhome Lot Detail. The
detail shows a front yard lot line 20 ft. setback while the preliminary plat shows many front yard lot lines
within 5 ft +/‐ of the right‐of‐way. The detail should include the required 10 ft. drainage and utility
easement along the right‐of‐way.
17. The Typical Townhome detail shows the required 25 foot setback from the right‐of‐way to garage. This
standard must remain if the development moves forward to ensure vehicle parking on driveways doo not
obstruct pedestrian movements on the trails/sidewalks.
18. Revise the typical Townhome detail to show the minimum building separation to be 35 ft. when a utility
pipe is extended between the buildings.
19. Revise the preliminary plans to remove the proposed parking bays across from Block 10. The proposed
parking stalls should not be located on a public street along the curve.
20. For both public and private streets, surmountable concrete curb and gutter shall be installed in single
family residential areas with future driveways and B618 curb installed along entrance roadways and
roadway stretches with no lots.
GRADING AND STORMWATER MANAGEMENT
1. The proposed development is subject to a storm water management plan meeting State, Watershed and
City rules. The site is located within the Valley Branch Watershed District.
2. Storm water facilities proposed as part of the development to meet city, State and watershed permitting
requirements must be constructed in accordance with the City Engineering Design Standards Manual.
3. The Stormwater Management Report (SWMR) is incomplete as submitted and must be revised and
resubmitted for further review by the city.
The report must be revised to address all issues outlined in the attached Valley Branch Watershed
District review memo dated July 5, 2022, including the conveyance of the upstream runoff through the
site, providing a more complete HydroCAD model for demonstrating conformance with city and VBWD
rules, and addressing the impacts to the adjacent groundwater contamination areas.
PAGE 4 of 5
The report must be revised to provide a complete rate control analysis for all points of discharge from
the site. The pre‐development drainage exhibit must be revised to show and label all existing points of
discharge from the site. The post‐development drainage exhibit must be revised to clearly show and
label all proposed points of discharge from the site. The executive summary of the report must be
revised to incorporate rate control analysis for each discharge location, and the combined condition.
The storm water management report must be revised to include storm water management for all off‐
site public improvements required for the development, including the turn lane improvements along
Stillwater Boulevard (CSAH 14) and Road I. Drainage exhibits must show inclusion of these areas.
Additional soil borings are required to confirm the assumed infiltration rates. Soil borings must be
taken in the number and location as required by the city engineering design standards and only borings
located within the BMP footprints used for BMP siting and design assumptions.
The executive summary must be revised to detail the rate and volume control benefit provided at each
proposed BMP facility.
4. The Stormwater BMPs proposed for the development must be located in Outlots with drainage and utility
easements dedicated over the entire Outlot. Stormwater Outlots must fully incorporate the 100‐year HWL,
10‐foot maintenance bench and all maintenance access roads to the public right‐of‐way.
5. All stormwater wet ponds must include both a 10‐foot aquatic bench and 10‐ft. maintenance bench. The
grading and site plans must be revised accordingly.
6. Maintenance access roads meeting the city engineering design standards must be provided for all storm
water facilities and structures. Maintenance access must be clearly shown on the site and grading plans
including access from the public right‐of‐way, and BMP maintenance access to all flared end sections.
7. The pond grading on Outlot A must be revised to maintain the Village Parkway boulevard grades through
the 10‐ft drainage and utility easement and may then transition to pond slopes.
8. The grading plans must be revised to include an identification name/label for each proposed BMP that is
consistent with labeling used in the Stormwater Management Report.
9. The grading plans remain incomplete. The preliminary grading plans must be revised and approved by the
city prior to receiving submittal for final plat/plans. Significant site design changes may be required, in
particular, related to the conveyance of 100‐year flood runoff from the Old Village area along the west
property line.
10. All Proposed Grading Contours must be shown to match existing contours, labeled on each side of match
point, to demonstrate how the site will match into existing conditions. Contours remain incomplete along
the CSAH 14 roadway and western property line.
11. The 100‐year HWL must be calculated and shown on the grading plans for the conveyance system along
the west property line with 100‐year HWL indicated at a minimum at structures FES 202 and FES 402.
12. Blocks 45, 46 and 47 may require relocation to maintain a minimum 35 ft horizontal separation from any
localized HWL.
13. Overland emergency overflow elevations and pathway must be clearly shown on the grading plans with
localized EOF(s) identified for all low points. All emergency overflow elevations must be fully protected by
drainage easement. All lots and adjacent existing buildings must have the minimum floor elevation at least
2 feet above any BMP 100‐year HWL and at least 1‐foot above any emergency overflow point.
14. All existing and proposed culvert inverts must be shown on the grading plans.
15. The storm sewer system shall be designed to maintain the City standard minimum pipe cover of 3.0 feet.
Drain tile is required as part of the city standard street section at all localized low points in the street. Drain
tile considerations may impact the storm sewer design and depth requirements at low points.
16. The maximum curb run prior to a catch basin is 350 feet.
17. Per City requirements all storm sewer pipe easements must be a minimum 30‐feet in width.
MUNICIPAL WATER SUPPLY
1. Municipal water supply is available to the site. The applicant is responsible to extend the municipal water
supply into the development at developer’s sole cost. Watermain distribution lines and connections will be
required wherever possible to create a looped network.
PAGE 5 of 5
2. The preliminary plans propose to connect to the existing 8‐inch watermain located at the intersection of
Stillwater Boulevard (CSAH 14) and 39th Street and extended into the site. As part of the final construction
plan review, it may be determined that this connection should be made to the 12‐inch trunk watermain
located on the north side of this intersection in order to oversize the watermain extension along Village
Parkway.
3. A looped watermain network is proposed throughout the development. However, the watermain plans
must be revised to include a watermain stub to be installed to the west side of the development at Road H
for future extension and connection to the Village area; and to the south end of Village Parkway, for future
extension.
4. The applicant will be responsible to place hydrants and water system valves as determined by the Lake
Elmo Public Works Director and Fire Department.
5. Any watermain lines and hydrants placed within the development will remain city owned and operated.
Therefore, minimum 30‐foot easements centered over the pipe/hydrant is required. Easements must be
dedicated to the city and be provided in the city’s standard form of easement agreement. Site plan
revisions will be required accordingly for the watermain located within Road F and Road G.
6. Watermain oversizing may be necessary for the watermain extension proposed along Village Parkway.
Oversizing cost reimbursement is addressed as part of the development agreements for each phase.
MUNICIPAL SANITARY SEWER
1. Municipal sanitary sewer service is available to the site. The applicant will be responsible to connect to the
city sanitary sewer system and extend sanitary sewer into the property at applicant’s sole cost.
2. The applicant will be required to connect to the existing 15‐inch trunk sanitary sewer along the east
property line of the proposed development.
3. The preliminary plans must be revised to show the sanitary sewer cutting into the existing main with the
placement of a new sanitary manhole in order to maintain the new sewer along and parallel to Road H.
4. All sanitary sewer must be located within the public right of way or within dedicated drainage and utility
easements within a minimum of 15‐feet from centerline for all pipes and structures. Easements must
remain free of encroachments. Site plan revisions will be required accordingly for the sanitary sewer
located within Road F and Road G.
5. From a preliminary review, it does not appear that the sanitary sewer will need to be stubbed to any
adjacent properties.
6. No sanitary sewer oversizing is anticipated for this development.
LANDSCAPING
1. The preliminary landscape plans must be revised to include the landscape and amenity improvements
required by the Village Parkway design standards.
2. The landscape plans must ensure that all trees reside outside of the proposed public easement areas for
watermain, sanitary sewer and storm sewer pipes, and dedicated small/dry utility corridors.
3. The landscape plans must ensure that all trees reside outside of the proposed storm water basin
maintenance roadways and benches.

Memorandum
To: Molly Just, Lake Elmo Planning Director From: John Hanson, Valley Branch Watershed District Engineer Subject: Schiltgen East Date: July 5, 2022 Project: 23820016.26 2022 001
Introduction
As requested, this memorandum provides preliminary comments on the proposed Schiltgen East development, which is east of the existing Lake Elmo Village, between CSAH 14 and the Union Pacific railroad. The project will require a Valley Branch Watershed District (VBWD) permit. More information needs to be submitted with a VBWD permit application to complete a thorough review and determine whether the project conforms to VBWD rules and regulations.
Background
The site ultimately drains to Downs Lake. Downs Lake has recently experienced high-water issues. The proposal should be designed so it will not exacerbate flooding.
Issues
Stormwater Management No determination on whether the project will conform to VBWD rules can be made based on the information submitted. As shown on Sheet 9 of the plans, the floodplain of an existing swale that conveys runoff from approximately 100 acres covers a significant portion of the site. The submittal does not include the calculations nor show how this upstream runoff will be conveyed through the site. The conveyance is critical and modifications will have a large role in protecting the site and upstream and downstream areas from flooding. With the flat topography on the site, very large pipes will likely be needed to convey the regional runoff (approximately 233 cubic feet per second for the 100-year 24-hour event) so that upstream flood levels are not increased.
As designed, the project probably does not conform to the VBWD rules. The proposed wet pond and infiltration basin are below the regional flood level so it’s unlikely that the proposed infiltration basin will drain dry in 48 hours as required. The submitted HydroCAD model is not detailed enough for evaluating the site and stormwater management features.
Because of the groundwater plume associated with the Baytown Township Groundwater Contamination Superfund Site, a more detailed technical memorandum related to the stormwater management system design, groundwater quality, and estimated mounding calculations should be prepared and submitted as noted in the submitted Phase II Environmental Site Assessment.
A plan for post-project management of chloride use should be included in the VBWD permit submittal. At a minimum, the plan should include:
A. Designation of an individual authorized to implement the chloride-use plan
To: Molly Just From: John Hanson, Valley Branch Watershed District Engineer Subject: Schiltgen East Date: July 5, 2022 Page: 2
P:\Mpls\23 MN\82\2382020\_MovedFromMpls_P\2022\SchiltgenEast.docx
B. Designation of an MPCA-certified salt applicator to implement the chloride-use plan for the site
An exhibit showing how snow will be managed on the site should also be submitted with the VBWD permit application.
Wetland Management and Buffers No wetlands appear to be on the site, but confirmation will be needed through the VBWD permitting process.
Floodplain Management To protect from flooding, the minimum elevations of all buildings must be at least 2 feet higher than 100-year flood level of the nearby low area, stormwater management facility, etc. This includes parking structures. Conforming to this standard can be a challenge in high-density developments with minimal slope. The current plans show areas where the minimum floor elevation requirement does not appear to be met (e.g., Blocks 27, 43, and 47). Calculations will also be needed to show the conveyance of the upstream runoff does not increase the 100-year flood level upstream or downstream of the site.
STAFF REPORT
PARKS COMMISSION
DATE: 7-18-2022
TO: Parks Commission
FROM: Ben Hetzel, City Planner & Molly Just, Planning Director
AGENDA ITEM: Schiltgen Farmstead Preliminary PUD and Plat
BACKGROUND:
The City has received a request from GWSA Land Development, LLC for review of a preliminary Planned
Unit Development (PUD) and Plat. The proposal is for 293 single family homes on 123.6 acres running from
the northwest and southwest intersection of Lake Elmo Ave N and Stillwater Blvd to the intersection of
Stillwater Blvd and Klondike Ave N, as well as being directly adjacent to Sunfish Lake to the east. The
proposal also includes an amenity lot with a four season clubhouse, pool and playground along with
approximately 25 acres of open space next to Sunfish Lake. The proposed project would require approval of a
PUD, plat and a zoning map amendment (rezoning) to the land use designations guided by the Comprehensive
Plan.
A similar development proposal by the Excelsior Group was brought before the Parks Commission for the
same property at the July 20, 2020 meeting. The Commission recommended to decline the proposal due to the
lack of information to make an appropriate recommendation. Instead, it was recommended to guide the
developer to plan for the recreational needs for the residents that they anticipate will live in the neighborhood.
ISSUE BEFORE THE PARKS COMMISSION:
The Parks Commission is being asked to review the preliminary PUD and Plat to provide feedback on the
proposal to meet the City Code Park Land Dedication Requirements and the Comprehensive Plan guidance.

PARKS PROPOSAL DETAILS/ANALYSIS:
Subdivision Code.
§103.00.150 Park Land Dedication Requirements. The City Code outlines the type of land that is considered
acceptable for park dedication.
Park Dedication Requirement. The developer is required to provide the City with either physical land, cash
payment, or a combination of both. The developer will be required to provide the City with 10% of the land,
which would come to 12.36 acres.
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
2
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.
Trails. Trails constructed by a subdivider within dedicated public open space having at least 30 feet of width
are eligible for park credit. The amount of trail dedication credit shall not exceed 25% of the total dedication.
Comprehensive Plan.
Chapter 6 Parks, Trails & Open Space has area and site specific recommendations that should influence the
recommendation of the Parks Commission. Relevant plan maps are attached for reference.
The Comprehensive Plan identifies a City Trail Search Corridor on the north portion of the development.
The Comprehensive Plan depicts a future road separated trail along Lake Elmo Ave N and along
Stillwater Blvd.
The plan identifies a neighborhood park search area and community park with sports complex search
area over the proposed development area.
A trail connection is recommended at the proposed street connection to Upper 33rd St N.
A trail connection is recommended at the proposed street connection to 33rd St N.
Neighborhood Park - “smaller parks offering more common and highly-used facilities to immediate area residents.”
This project would be a new neighborhood and a park walkable within the neighborhood is appropriate.
Community Park and Facilities (Sports Complex) – parks offering more significant or unique uses that benefit all
City residents.
It would be most appropriate to state the types of facilities the Commission would like to see. For example, a ball
field, open field for field sports, a playground, or a combination. Parking should be identified if necessary.
Neighborhood Park Size Reference:
Reid Park - The area encompassing the ball field and park is around 3 acres.
Lions Park - 3.36 acres, playground, hockey rink, and ball field
VFW Park - 3.23 acres, ball field
Easton Vil. Park - 1.36 acres, field and playground
Community Park Size Reference:
Sunfish Lake Park – 205.9 acres

OPTIONS:
The Commission may recommend to that:
The City accept cash in lieu of land.
The City accept land in lieu of cash.
The City take a combination of both.
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends the Parks Commission recommend to the City Council that the City accept land in lieu of
cash and provide types of amenities the Commission would like to see.
“Move to recommend approval of the Preliminary PUD and Plat with the acceptance of land in lieu of cash
supported by the cited findings.”

C. General Information
GWSA Land Development, LLC is proposing to develop four parcels of land in the City of
Lake Elmo that will create a community of 293 detached single family homes. The concept
plan includes an amenity lot with a four season clubhouse, pool and playground along with
+/- 25 acres of open space in an outlot next to Sunfish Lake. We are proposing 74 lots 65’
wide, 126 lots 51’ wide, 53 lots 40’ wide, and 40 lots 38’ wide.
The proposed development is located on the Schiltgen Farms property at the corner of
Stillwater Boulevard and Lake Elmo Avenue North. The site consists of approximately 123
gross acres with wooded slopes, wetlands and Sunfish Lake to the west, Legacy at North
Star to the north and Lake Elmo Elementary to the east. Single family residential is south
separated by the railroad. There are three access points to the single family section north
of Stillwater Boulevard and three to the single family section south of Stillwater Boulevard.
The entire development will provide 51.41 acres of open space. Currently, the site has 7.27
acres of Stillwater Boulevard and Lake Elmo Avenue right of way and we are proposing to
add an additional 2.6 acres.
The single family section north of Stillwater Boulevard will be a mixture of one and two
story single family homes on 65’ and 51’ lots. Most of the neighborhood will back up to
natural open space or ponds with very few back to back lots that will provide a very open
feel to the neighborhood. The architecture will be similar to Legacy at North Star with a
group of local builders offering a large selection of floor plans and finish options.
The single family south of Stillwater Boulevard is designed for smaller lots and setbacks.
The goal is to provide another option to help diversify the housing in the Village with a
thoughtful, well designed product that will add density within walking distance to the Old
Village.
Due to the fact the proposed development falls within the shoreland of Sunfish Lake, it is
subject to the City’s Shoreland Regulations. In order to get flexibility and develop to the
existing land use designation and guidance in the 2040 Comprehensive Plan of V-LDR, a
PUD is required. V-LDR guidance allows 1.5-3.0 units/acre. We are proposing 2.88
units/acre.
D. Issues Addressed since Sketch Plan
All of the issues that were addressed from the sketch plan review are on the south side of
Stillwater Boulevard. The sketch plan proposed an attached townhome product and that
has now changed to a detached product that is more in-line with what was approved with
the previous applicant. The sketch plan proposed 142 townhome and rowhome units and
the current proposal has 93 detached rowhome and townhome units. Another change from
the sketch plan is the access to the parcel on the south. There are still three access points,
but the main entrance was moved west per staff recommendations and Washington County
approval in a sketch plan review of the new proposal prior to submittal.
E. Intent/Vision of the Project
The vision of the project remains the same as the original sketch plan. Single family homes
north of Stillwater Boulevard that will tie in with the surrounding neighborhoods to the
north. On the south, a more dense, smaller lot, affordable option to provide another
housing type and life cycle housing option for residents closer to the heart of Lake Elmo.
F. Density and Open Space
Land Areas:
Overall Development Area: 123.42 gross acres
Steep Slopes/Bluffs: .86 acres
Wetlands: 13.51 acres
ROW 7.27 acres
Net Overall Residential Buildable: 101.78 acres
Shoreland: 61.83 acres
Opens Space within Shoreland: 32.32 acres
Total Open Space: 51.41 acres
Total Proposed Dwelling Units: 293
Density – (293 / 101.78): 2.88
G. Infrastructure Improvements
The proposed development will have access to Stillwater Boulevard and Lake Elmo Avenue.
On the north, the main access will be via Lake Elmo Avenue and two additional accesses
from the north via Legacy at North Star. On the South, the main access will be off Stillwater
Boulevard with additional accesses to Upper 33rd Street and Klondike Avenue south across
the railroad. The proposal will dedicate additional right of way to the County on both Lake
Elmo Avenue and Stillwater Avenue for future road improvements.
The stormwater will be designed to meet the City and Watershed standards. Additional
storage will be provided for all future County road improvements and for City regional
ponding. The majority of the development will utilize water reuse.
The sanitary sewer is stubbed south of the railroad and will access the entire development.
Water will connect in multiple locations.
The proposal will connect the trail from Legacy at North Star along Lake Elmo Avenue to
the south and eventually connect to another trail that runs along the south side of
Stillwater Boulevard. Another trail connection will be provided in the northwest corner of
the site to the trail in Legacy at North Star.
The phasing of the infrastructure will coincide with the phasing plan provided in the
construction plans.
H. Neighbor Concerns
We are providing an outlot that will be deeded to Chavez to access their property in the
northwest corner of the site. I have had conversations with Mr. Gorman about his concerns
with the County roundabout and originally proposed access location. Our current access
has since moved west and will not connect to the roundabout.
I. Conflicts With Nearby Land Uses
Our proposal is in-line with future guidance for the property. The single family homes
proposed on the north parcel will be a continuation of the single family in Legacy at North
Star. On the south, we feel the smaller lot single family is an appropriate use considering
its location between a restaurant, railroad and Stillwater Boulevard.
The proposal doesn’t impact any wetlands and the PUD within a Shoreland Overlay District
will guarantee that Sunfish Lake isn’t impacted. All development will be clustered away
from the lake with over 50% open space in the Shoreland District and permanent
restrictive covenants protecting that open space.
J. Burden on Infrastructure
Our proposal is in-line with the future guidance for the property per the Comprehensive
Plan. The City has an AUAR in place that would have studied the impacts prior to guiding
the property. We are connecting to a new sewer extension that was intended to serve this
property. The majority of traffic will enter and exit via County roads. The site is proposing
water re-use for irrigation to help ease the burden on the water supply.
K. Lakeshore Access
Currently, Lake Access will be limited to residents of the neighborhood.
L. Parks and Open Space
As of now, all Parks and Open Space are proposed to be private and will be owned and
maintained by the HOA.
M. Phasing
Our goal is to have entitlements by late summer 2022 and begin grading as soon as
approvals are in place. A phasing plan is included in the construction plans and we
anticipate the first phase will go on-line next summer and then additional phases to follow
within the next two to three years.
Variance Request
Below is a table outlining the variances from the V-LDR Standard. Due to the shoreland
requirement of at least 50% open space within the shoreland, there are a number of
variances from the V-LDR standard needed to get the density required. The variances for
lot widths, lot areas, setbacks, and impervious surface are all correlated with the clustering
of lots away from Sunfish Lake and adding density to areas of the site away from the
natural areas along the lake boundaries creating a better site design for the property. The
density on the north side of Stillwater is 2.5 units/acres, less than Legacy at North Star and
similar to Village Preserve. We are proposing a more dense design south of Stillwater
where we think the site location and characteristics will be better suited for a design that
allows density within walking distance to the Old Village.

EXECUTION
Ground Preparation
Prior to seeding, the Contractor shall spray the proposed seeding area
with a non-selective glyphosate herbicide such as Round-Up.
Approximately three to four weeks later the site should be cultivated
using a deep-tine plow and then disked to produce a smooth firm seed
bed. Allow weeds to germinate and grow. When weed seeds and roots
have reached a height of 2-4 inches, the site should again be sprayed
with a second herbicide application. Wait 10 days and then shallow till the
soil to a depth of 1 inch. Tilling deeper will bring additional weed seeds
to the surface.
Once the area to be planted has been properly prepared, the Contractor
shall commence with seeding.
SEEDING
A.Native plant community seeding can take place during two periods of
the year. The first window of opportunity is from the time the site
preparation work is concluded in the spring, until approximately July
15. The second period is in the fall between October 1st and freeze-
up. The latter is considered a dormant seeding and the seedlings do
not germinate until late spring of the following growing season. It is
recommended that the native seeding be conducted in June and early
July.
B.All native grass seed should be applied with a Truax native seed drill,
at a rate as specified according to individual specifications PLS (pure
live seed) per acre. In areas too narrow or steep for equipment,
grass seed may be hand broadcast. Cover crop of oats shall be
applied after Native Mix has been seeded.
C.Raking or dragging and rolling shall follow all seeding to insure good
soil contact.
*The Contractor shall mulch all seeded areas with clean straw or marsh hay
at a rate of 2 tons/acre and shall be disc anchored into place
*All seeded areas to receive 50 oats cover at 50 lbs. per acre
Year 1
During the first season, the seeded area shall be cut back approximately once
each month to prevent the production of weed seeds and to reduce shade on
the maturing native plantings. When the seeded area has reached a height of
8-10 inches, a flail-type mower shall be used to cut weeds and native plantings
to a height of 4-6 inches. Rotary mowers and sickle bar mowers are not
acceptable. In no case shall the seeded area be allowed to exceed 10 inches
in height during the first season.
Pulling weeds is not recommended as this can uproot small, undeveloped native
seedlings. Spot spray thistle, reed canary grass and any other problematic
weeds.
Year 2
In the spring of the second season, the plantings should be mowed again.
Mowing should occur approximately 3-4 times during the second season. If
weeds continue to persist during the second year additional mowings may be
required. Do not let weeds go to seed. Seeded areas shall not be burned
during the second year.
Year 3
Spot spray perennial weeds if necessary.
Years 4-5
Continue spot treatment spray of weeds and conduct burning (3-5 year
rotation) alternate spring and fall
