STAFF REPORT
PARKS COMMISSION DATE: 5-15-2023
TO: Parks Commission FROM: Sophia Jensen, City Planner AGENDA ITEM: Northshore Development Concept Plan REVIEWED BY: Jenni Faulkner, Planning Consultant
BACKGROUND: The City has received a request from Northshore Development for review of a Concept Plan on the Screaton property north of Stillwater Blvd. The site is currently comprised of an active farm field and vacated road right of way. The project consists of both a residential and commercial component. The commercial component consists of a bank, office building, and vacant sites. The commercial zoning would be around the South and East sides of the site. The residential portion of the project is to develop at a later date and would be zoned village medium density
residential (V-MDR). The V-MDR zoning would be around the North and West sides of the site. The site is located between Stillwater Way and Stillwater Blvd. The proposed project would require approval of a Planned Unit Development (PUD), plat, comprehensive plan amendment and a zoning map amendment (rezoning) to the land use designations guided by the Comprehensive Plan. No development rights are granted at this stage.
ISSUE BEFORE THE PARKS COMMISSION: The Parks Commission is being asked to review the concept to provide feedback on the proposal to meet the City Code Park Land Dedication Requirements and the Comprehensive Plan guidance. GENERAL INFORMATION: • Property Owner: Screaton Family Trust
• Applicant: Northshore Development
• Parcel: 12.029.21.44.0020, 12.029.21.44.0022, and 13.029.21.11.0006
• Site Area: ~25.98 acres (subject to change due to Right of Way Acquisition)
• Land Use Guidance: Commercial and Village Medium Density Residential
• Current Zoning: Rural Transitional
• Surrounding Land Use: Open Space PUD to North, Rural Transitional (residential and cemetery) to West, Stillwater Blvd. and Rural Transitional farm fields to South, and commercial gas station and Baytown Township to the East.
PARKS PROPOSAL DETAILS: The proposed project would have ~7 acres zoned commercial and ~17.3 acres zoned residential according to the site plan. The park dedication for the commercial land would be the fee determined by council ($6,000/acre). The land zoned residential has the option of: a fee (estimated at $120,000), land 10% (1.73 acres), or a combination of both.
The applicant is proposing a 0.74 acre lot for parkland dedication. The proposed site is surrounded by streets and would be accessible via on-street parking. The applicant is not proposing any trail construction although they are willing to accommodate trail connectivity if recommended.
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. 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:
2
(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. To receive credit for a trail, there must be a through public trail connection to the larger Lake Elmo or Washington
County trail network. If the proposed trails are not able to connect to existing trails, they must be installed in a way that would provide a connection to future planned trails as additional infrastructure is established. COMPREHENSIVE PLAN – PARKS: Chapter 6 Parks, Trails & Open Space has area and site specific recommendations that should influence the
recommendation of the Parks Commission. The park search map identifies the property to be within a sports complex and community park search area. According to the Comprehensive Plan, the community park for the village planning area should be roughly 10-15 acres a landmark and gathering place for the community.
COMPREHENSIVE PLAN - TRAILS: Chapter 6 Parks, Trails & Open Space has area and site specific recommendations that should influence the recommendation of the Parks Commission. The trail search map identifies that the property to be within the Regional trail search corridor and depicts future road separated trails along Stillwater Blvd and Stillwater Way (prior to road
reconfiguration). There is an existing regional trail along the north side of Stillwater Way build from previous development.
3
FINDINGS: 1. This area is already serviced by a handful of neighborhood parks. Within about a 1-mile radius these
include: Carriage Station, Tana Ridge, Firefly, Reid, Pilot, Lions. 2. The area is serviced by two community parks within a 2-mile radius: Sunfish Lake Park and VFW Park. 3. Due to the acreage of residential land that is proposed for developed a 10% land dedication would not be large enough to support a community park or sports complex as described in the Comprehensive Plan. 4. An existing trail along the North side of Stillwater Way satisfies the trail search corridor. A pedestrian
crossing should be incorporated into the site to connect this site to the existing regional trail system.
OPTIONS: For the residential portion of land 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 the following:
“Move to recommend approval of the Northshore Development Concept Plan with the acceptance of the set fee for the commercial component of the project, the acceptance of cash in lieu of land for the residential component of the project, and to recommend a pedestrian crossing be added to connect to the existing regional
trail based on the findings listed in the staff report.”

Village Hub - Mixed Use
PUD Project Narrative
Background
Bridgewater Bancshares, LLC, represented by North Shore Development Partners, is pleased
to be applying for Sketch Plan Review for an approximately 25-acre site for future development.
The site is located at the northwest corner of Stillwater Boulevard N and Manning Ave N. The
proposed project consists of three parcels, the main subject parcel, a future County ROW
acquisition, and the northern portion above Stillwater Blvd N of the adjacent southern parcel
(PIDs 1202921440020, 1202921440022, and 1302921110006 respectively). The project also
proposed ROW acquisition of a portion of Stillwater Way N which bounds the project on the
northwest side.
The proposed project proposes a first phase of commercial development with a residential
component to follow in the future pending favorable market conditions – all of which is intended
to be consistent with Lake Elmo’s 2040 Comprehensive Plan. The commercial portion of the
project will face the south and east along Stillwater Boulevard N and Manning Ave n (C.S.A.H
No. 14, and 15 respectively). The project proposes four commercial buildings within the
proposed 7-acre commercial area. The first phase will include a bank facility on the southeast
corner of the parcel.

December 31, 2022, Bridgewater is considered one of the largest locally led banks in the State
of Minnesota, and has received numerous awards for its growth, banking services and
esteemed corporate culture.
North Shore Development Partners (North Shore) is locally based out of Wayzata, MN with
strong background in high quality multifamily and mixed-use real estate assets for Twin Cities
communities. North Shore has over thirty years of development experience across their
partners. Notable recent projects include The Exchange in New Brighton, MN and The Stax of
Long Lake, in Long Lake, MN. North Shore operates a high standard of quality within their
developments and seeks to provide a sense of community that supports the local growth of
Lake Elmo.
The development team anticipates that this project will kickstart development within this area of
the City with a high standard of quality and workmanship in initial construction, but also in
operation and management.
Buildings
The development team will follow the City of Lake Elmo Design Guidelines and Standards by
putting forth a quality development with buildings of high architectural quality and an efficient
site that will work well for all users, both vehicular and pedestrian. The buildings will be placed in
a manner to ensure good sightlines while also maintaining safe circulation patterns.
Streetscapes, landscaping, and parking areas will be designed to create an enjoyable outdoor
environment of high aesthetic value while also maximizing pervious surfaces. Buildings will be
designed using quality materials and human-scale massing to promote visual interest and
support Lake Elmo’s unique identity.
Site
The site is currently zoned Rural Transitional with a future Land Use of Residential and
Commercial. It is anticipated that the future zoning will be Commercial and V-MDR Village
Medium Density Residential per the City of Lake Elmo’s 2040 Comprehensive Plan. The
development team is working directly with City Planning Staff and MET Council regarding the
proposed residential & commercial acreages as it pertains to the Comprehensive Plan. The
project proposes the commercial area to be approximately 7-acres in size, consistent with the
previously approved Land Use areas per MET Council and the Comprehensive Plan.
The base parcel for the project is ~21.86 acres in size. The project will acquire ~2.77 acres of
previous Washington County ROW area adjacent to the east and is seeking to acquire up to 45’
width of additional City ROW from Stillwater Way N to the northwest. The total site area with the
County ROW area added is ~24.63 acres. Depending on the final area of Stillwater Way N
ROW, the total project area could be up to ~25.98 acres in size.
Access and Parking
Site access to the overall development will be provided via three access points to the south,
northwest, and northeast. An existing curb cut for C.S.A.H. 14 will be utilized for the southern
driveway connection. A new turn lane and driveway will be designed for access off the
northwest from Stillwater Way N. Finally, a new driveway will be coordinated with the adjacent
neighbor to the northeast connecting to the existing fuel station driveway. The project proposes
new public and private roadways within the development for site circulation and access to all
proposed lots.
Parking will be provided for each use per City Code requirements at the time of site plan
development. Accessible stalls will be provided for each lot in accordance with current
Minnesota accessible parking requirements.
Parks and Trails
The City requires 10% of the proposed development area to be dedicated as a public park.
There may be opportunities with the proposed development for a small local park within the
project area. The project area is also within a future community park opportunity area per the
Lake Elmo 2040 Comprehensive Plan. The future community park may be better suited offsite
at a location more desirable for the surrounding community. The development team looks
forward to coordinating with the Park Commission as the development evolves and will support
park dedication either via land or other means per City Code requirements.
The project is within a regional trail opportunity area per the Lake Elmo 2040 Comprehensive
Plan. The development team is currently not proposing any trails as part of the project but is
open to coordinating with Parks, Council, and the County on any trail needs.
Grading and Drainage
The project site is proposed to be mass graded for future development as part of the initial
sitework. The proposed site grades will generally be between 1.5% and 4% within roadways
and parking areas. The parking lot and drive aisles will be bounded with curb and gutter to
collect stormwater runoff and direct it to the onsite storm sewer. Landscape grades vary but will
not exceed 3:1. Site grades naturally fall to the south of the parcel where existing drainage is
collected in a culvert and discharged south under the highway. The proposed drainage outfall
will match existing drainage patterns.
Stormwater
Stormwater management for the development will be provided by a stormwater pond and
irrigation reuse. Preliminary geotechnical investigation implies clayey soils on site. Therefore,
stormwater management will be provided by one or more stormwater retention ponds and
irrigation reuse. The irrigation reuse system will be designed per City requirements and will
support the volume management requirement per City and Watershed rules. The final
stormwater management system will meet City and Watershed rules for site discharge rate, high
water levels, and water quality treatment.
Utilities
The proposed development will be served by trunk sanitary sewer, storm sewer, and watermain
utilities for the entire site. The proposed public sanitary main will be an extension of the existing
8” PVC stub along C.S.A.H. 14 from the south. This main will be extended north into the site per
City requirements with branches to service both commercial and residential sections. The sewer
extension will require an MCES sanitary sewer extension permit. Sanitary service stubs will be
provided for each lot for future building connection. Services will be private and dedicated to
each use.
The proposed public watermain will be a 12” DIP main extended south from Stillwater Way N.
The existing watermain is at Little Bluestem Trail N and Stillwater Way N. It is anticipated that
some offsite work will be required to bring watermain to the subject parcel. The proposed main
will run to the southern side of the site with 8” loops broken off to service the commercial and
residential areas as necessary. Hydrants will be provided as necessary for adequate fire
suppression coverage for the development. Water service stubs will be provided for each lot for
future building connection. Services will be private and dedicated to each use.
The proposed storm sewer will collect stormwater runoff from each impervious area and convey
drainage to the proposed stormwater pond as previously discussed.

AGENDA ITEM: Items for 2024-2033 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 2024-2033 CIP? When should they be completed?
PROPOSAL DETAILS/ANALYSIS:
Projects in the 2024-2033 CIP include play equipment replacement. Seven 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 2028 as this will help us with long range planning. The following items will be funded through the Park
Dedication Fund. 1. Pebble Park- Playground replacement rescheduled for 2024. ($125,000) 2. Demontreville Park- Playground replacement rescheduled for 2024. ($125,000)
3. Stonegate Park- Play equipment replacement scheduled for 2027. ($125,000) 4. Carraige Station- Play equipment replacement scheduled for 2028. ($125,000) 5. Tablyn Park- Play equipment replacement scheduled for 2025. ($95,000) 6. Ridge Park – Play equipment replacement scheduled for 2028. ($125,000) Staff recommends adding the following to the 2024-2033 CIP: 1. Parking Lot Extension (2) – Tablyn for 2024. ($75,000) 2. Sand volleyball courts (3) – 2024. ($30,000) 3.

3. New Ballfields. Scheduled 2024. Grants/ Donations (1,000,000). Other Items? If there are other items that the Parks Commission would like to see in the 2024-2028 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:
