HomeMy WebLinkAbout#25 - Schiltgen Farmstead Prelim Plat & PUDSTAFF REPORT CITY COUNCIL
DATE: 12/20/22 TO: City Council
FROM: Molly Just, Planning Director
AGENDA ITEM: Schiltgen Farmstead Preliminary Plat/Planned Unit Development
BACKGROUND: At their October 4th meeting the City Council approved a zoning map amendment to rezone four (4) parcels located near the northwest corner of the intersection of Lake Elmo Avenue North and
Stillwater Boulevard from Rural Transitional (RT) district to Village Low Density Residential (V-LDR). The Council voted to table the application for Preliminary Plat & Preliminary PUD. The Planning Commission and City Council expressed great concern about the density and intensity planned for the portion of the project located south of Stillwater Boulevard.
On November 15, 2022 the applicant, GWSA Land Development, LLC, submitted a revised proposal that includes developing only the two (2) parcels of land located north of Stillwater Boulevard (the “Property”). The Property would be developed with 200 units on 98.76 acres, down from 293 units on 123 acres. The development is proposed as a PUD because the applicant is requesting flexibility from the regulations of Article 13 – Village Districts – Village Low
Density Residential and Article 19 Shoreland Management Overlay District.

At its August 8, 2022 meeting the Planning Commission held a public hearing and voted to table action on the original, 4 parcel project until progress was made to address concerns primarily around stormwater management, requested exemptions from City standards to accommodate the development south of Stillwater Boulevard, and a lack of information on proposed open space and
community amenities. During the public hearing the following public comments were shared:
1. Bryan Wittner -10870 38th Street North – spoke about concerns regarding the cul-de-sac being turned into a through-road. 2. Jose Chavez – 3505 Kelvin Avenue North – spoke in support of the new development as
then they would have access to their property.
3. Todd Bruchu – 3150 Klondike Avenue North – spoke about concerns regarding density, property taxes, school overpopulated schools, water supply issues, high traffic issues and not any new baseball fields.
At their September 26, 2022 meeting, the Planning Commission reviewed revised plans and
discussed and asked questions about the intensity of development on the south side of Stillwater Boulevard. While the density for the project was within that allowed by zoning and the Comprehensive Plan, the lots were considerably smaller south of Stillwater Boulevard, there were no dedicated amenities and no easy way for pedestrians to cross Stillwater Boulevard to
access the community amenities on the north side of Stillwater Boulevard. There was also
concern about a lack of detail regarding community amenities for the subdivision as a whole. Ultimately, the Planning Commission voted to recommend approval of the Zoning Map Amendment and denial of the Preliminary Plat and Preliminary PUD.
Staff has reviewed the proposal for the Property and recommends conditional approval of the
revised Preliminary Plat and PUD. ISSUE BEFORE THE COUNCIL:
Should the City Council approve the Preliminary Plat and Preliminary Planned Unit
Development (PUD) for Schiltgen Farmstead? GENERAL INFORMATION:

City Council Meeting December 20, 2022 Page 3
Surrounding: V-LDR/PUD (north)/ PF and VMX (east)/ RT (south)/ OP and RR (west).
History: The parcels are part of the Schiltgen Farm property. The City reviewed a PUD Concept Plan on August 10, 2021. On October 4, 2022 the City approved a Zoning Map Amendment to V-LDR and tabled action on the Preliminary
PUD/Preliminary Plat.
Deadline: Application Complete – 7/7/22 60 Day Deadline – 9/5/22 Extension Letter – 8/3/22 120 Day Deadline – 11/4/22
Applicant requested an extension of the 120-day deadline to February 8, 2023 Applicable Code: Article 13 – Village Districts Article 18 – Planned Unit Development Regulations Article 19 – Shoreland Management Overlay District Title 103 – Subdivision Regulations PROPOSAL DETAILS/ANALYSIS:
The proposed development would be located between the Legacy at Northstar subdivision and Stillwater Boulevard on the west side of Lake Elmo Avenue. The development is proposed as a PUD because the applicant is requesting flexibility from the zoning regulations of the V-LDR base zoning district and from the regulations of the Shoreland Management Overlay District.
The Property consists of approximately 98.76 gross acres with wooded slopes, wetlands and a large portion of Sunfish Lake dominating the western portion of the Property. Approximately 53.2 acres of the Property is within the Shoreland Management Overlay District. Over half of that land area would be left in passive open space.
The applicant proposes to develop the Property with 200 single-family detached homes. The project would include an amenity lot with a gathering area, pool and playground along with 20 acres in upland open space in an outlot next to Sunfish Lake. The project would be developed in phases with the first phase beginning in summer 2023. The applicant’s phasing plan depicts access from Lake Elmo Avenue and Kokanee Avenue North with phase 1 and adding access from
Kirkwood Lane North with phase 2.
Environmental Review. The entire Village Area was subject to an Alternative Urban Areawide Review (AUAR) when the area was brought into the Municipal Urban Service Area (MUSA). The AUAR was updated in early 2022 as required. No further environmental review is required.
Site Data. Total Site Area 98.76 acres Outlots 44.02 acres (14.31 ac
wetland, lake,
bluff/steep slopes) Right-of-Way (R/W) 14.41 acres
City Council Meeting December 20, 2022 Page 4
Net Density. The calculation of density is as follows. The Metropolitan Council determines density through netting out wetlands and water bodies, dedication for designated arterial right-of-way, wetland buffers, public parks and qualifying preserved open space to get “net” density.
Development Area 98.76 acres
Wetlands & Bluffs/Steep Slopes 14.31 acres Open Space - Net Density 84.39 net acres with 200 units = 2.36 du/acre
PUD Minimum Requirements. The development is being proposed as a PUD because a portion of the proposed development is within a shoreland, and any deviation from the minimum lot size requirements of the shoreland district requires that an area be developed through the PUD
process. The applicant proposes deviations from the lot size, width, side setback, and maximum
impervious surface standards of the V-LDR District and from the lot size, width and maximum impervious surface standards of the Shoreland Management Overlay District.
SITE PLAN
City Council Meeting December 20, 2022 Page 5
A PUD is a negotiated zoning district, and according to the Lake Elmo Zoning Code Article 18, Planned Unit Development Regulations, zoning flexibility can be granted in order to better utilize site features and to obtain a higher quality of development. When evaluating a PUD
proposal, a PUD must meet one or more objectives contained in Article 18 and meet the
minimum requirements for a PUD.
• Identified Objectives. Staff has found that the following objectives are met with the proposed PUD: C. Provision of more adequate, usable, and suitably located open space and recreational
amenities and other public facility than would otherwise be provided under conventional development techniques. Staff comment: With no riparian lots proposed and an area around Sunfish Lake remaining undeveloped this objective is met. Additionally, the applicant proposes to reuse captured stormwater to irrigate outlots and the Villa style lots. This preserves water resources which is an objective of the
City. F. Preservation of historic buildings, structures or landscape features. Staff comment: The applicant proposes to preserve the front 24 feet of the large “North Star Farm” barn on the property and build a new building behind it as a community amenity. The buildings would be connected. The silo would be preserved if feasible.
G. Coordination of architectural styles and building forms to achieve greater compatibility within the development and surrounding land uses. Staff comment: The applicant proposes architectural styles that are compatible with adjacent Legacy at North Star. I. Allowing the development to operate in concert with a redevelopment plan in certain
areas of the City and to ensure the redevelopment goals and objectives will be achieved. The project will provide stormwater ponding planned for in the City’s Capital Improvement Plan (CIP). This will provide additional discharge rate reduction that significantly exceeds the reductions necessary for the development to meet City, watershed district and State permitting requirements. The City has
planned for the stormwater and sanitary sewer needs as the Old Village develops
and redevelops and this project would play a part in enabling that development.
• Minimum Requirements for PUD. Staff has found that the proposed development does meet the following minimum requirements of a PUD:
a. Lot Area: The site area exceeds the minimum lot area for of five acres for a PUD development. Requirement met.
b. Open Space: The PUD ordinance indicates that at least 20% of the development area not within rights-of-way is to be reserved as open space. Requirement met. c. Street Layout: In existing developed areas, the PUD should maintain the existing
street grid, where present, and restore the street grid where it has been disrupted. In newly developing areas, streets shall be designed to maximize connectivity in each cardinal direction, except where environmental or physical constraints make this infeasible. All streets shall terminate at other streets, at public land, or at a park or other community facility, except that local streets may terminate in stub streets when
those will be connected to other streets in future phases of the development or adjacent developments. Requirement met.
City Council Meeting December 20, 2022 Page 6
Minnesota Department of Natural Resources (MNDNR) Comments. Approximately 53.2 acres of the Property is located within the Shoreland Management Overlay Zone. The MNDNR must be given the opportunity to comment on the plan. The application has been sent to the MNDNR for review and approval of the PUD and Tiering Plan. Because the parcels would not
meet the lot requirements of the shoreland zone a PUD is required.
Shoreland Tier Analysis. The shoreland tiering provisions of the City’s Shoreland Management
Overlay Zone (taken from the MNDNR Model Shoreland Ordinance) provide for a way to shift
allowed development away from critical natural resources. When a PUD is requested in the overlay, at least 50% of the area in the shoreland must be preserved as open space. The applicant proposes approximately 28.38 acres of preserved open space and indicates that there will be restrictive covenants placed on this open space as required by the MNDNR.
TIERING PLAN

Architecture. The two proposed housing types include one- and two-story single-family homes and the architecture would be similar to Legacy at North Star with a group of local builders offering a large selection of floor plans and finish options.
Landscaping and Tree Preservation. The City’s Consultant Landscape Architect has reviewed the proposed Landscape Plans and recommends approval of the Landscape and Tree Preservations with a condition of approval that the plans be updated to address the comments in the memo dated
December 7, 2022. This memo is attached.
City Council Meeting December 20, 2022 Page 8
Parks. §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. With Final Plat approval, the applicant is required to provide
the City with either land, cash payment, or a combination of both. The dedication requirement
would be 10% of the land area which equals 9.87 acres. The market value of the 9.87 acres is $499,688.00 or $50,627.00 per acre. The amount of land and dollar value is set at the time of Preliminary Plat and the requirement must be met/fulfilled with Final Platting. o Applicant Proposal. The applicant proposes a mix of cash contribution and land
dedication to meet the requirement. They would like to donate half the requirement as
a cash contribution ($249,844.00) and the other half would be a land dedication along Sunfish Lake. If the City does not want all of the land along Sunfish Lake (generally Outlot A on the Preliminary Plat) then the applicant will pay the full requirement in cash or a split of cash and any qualifying trail dedication. The applicant is seeking a
decision on the land dedication at the time of Preliminary Plat.
o Staff Recommendation. The land along Sunfish Lake has limited public utility. To make this area publicly accessible could be cost prohibitive and to maintain an area not easily accessible would put further strain on City resources. The MNDNR requires that
the area be preserved and so it will, whether or not the City is responsible.
If the Council chooses to take ownership of the land along Sunfish Lake then staff recommends that the developer plan for any access to and within the open space and take care of the permitting process including cost to permit and construct the
improvements before the City takes ownership. This is included as a draft Condition
of Approval and the condition should be eliminated if the Council does not to accept
Outlot A.
• 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. Parks Commission Review of Concept PUD Plan. The Parks Commission reviewed the plan on July 18, 2022 and recommended accepting park land to satisfy the park dedication requirement.
At their September 19, 2022 meeting, the Parks Commission added this item to their meeting agenda and withdrew their July 18 recommendation pending sufficient information and detail to clarify what the outlot is to be designated for park land dedication and what trail connectivity would be to existing Lake Elmo trails. Although rescinding their original recommendation, the Parks Commission is still recommending that the City accept land for parkland 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. This project would provide this trail. An off-road trail would run along the
City Council Meeting December 20, 2022 Page 9
north side of new 37th Street from Lake Elmo Avenue and connect to the off-road trail in Legacy at North Star.
• The Comprehensive Plan depicts a future road separated trail along Lake Elmo Ave and along Stillwater Blvd. There is a 10-foot trail proposed along Lake Elmo Avenue. The trail along
this section of Stillwater Boulevard could not be accommodated on the north side of Stillwater
Boulevard and so is not proposed.
• The plan identifies a neighborhood park search area and community park with sports complex search area over the proposed development area. There is a 1.35 HOA park space planned for this development. It is intended to meet the active recreational and socialization needs of this
new community. Subdivision Signs. Section 154.212 allows a maximum of 2 subdivisions signs per residential development with a maximum sign area of 24 sq. ft. per sign. No additional signs have been proposed.
Streets and Access. The project includes a modified street grid. The applicant will extend existing public streets into the project. Kokanee Avenue North and 38th Street North will extend south into the project from Legacy at North Star and there will be one access point from Lake Elmo Avenue. Additionally, the applicant will connect the trails in this project to the off-road trails within Legacy
at North Star to the north. Washington County Review. Lake Elmo Avenue and Stillwater Boulevard are County roads. See attached memo dated December 5, 2022.
Fire Chief Comments. See attached memo dated November 30, 2022. Street Names. The proposed street names generally adhere to the City’s Street Naming Policy. Stormwater Management. The applicant is currently in the permitting process with the Valley
Branch Watershed District (VBWD). 1. The project plans indicate that the storm water management for this subdivision will account for the failed infiltration basins in the Legacy at North Star. The stormwater
management plan indicates that the volume abstraction includes replacement volume for
abstraction for Pond 1 (Legacy 1st Addition Infiltration Area A) and Pond 7 (Legacy 3rd Addition Infiltration Area 7). Approval of this replacement capacity is contingent upon permit approval from the VBWD and contingent upon the storm water management plan being revised to provide all design details and specific assumptions made for this analysis
to the satisfaction of the City Engineer.
2. The project includes stormwater reuse for irrigation of the outlots and the Villa style lots. 3. The project will provide a Regional Pond as called for in the City’s Capital Improvement
Plan (CIP). This means that the project will provide more stormwater discharge rate
reduction than required for the project alone.
City Council Meeting December 20, 2022 Page 10
4. The project will complete development of the area north of Stillwater Boulevard and Lake Elmo Avenue and so the project needs to provide regional stormwater management capacity for the future improvements to these abutting Washington County roads.
Municipal Sewer and Water. The City Engineer’s memorandum dated December 12, 2022
provides a review of municipal sewer and water considerations. RECOMMENDED FINDINGS:
Recommended Findings for Preliminary Plat/Preliminary PUD. Staff recommends approval

FISCAL IMPACT: Approval of a Preliminary Plat and Preliminary PUD grants entitlements to an applicant however there would be no fiscal impact to the City at this time. Once the Property
is Final Platted and when it begins to develop it will have urban services and will pay sewer and
water connection charges, building permit fees and the like. OPTIONS:
1. Approve the project with recommended conditions of approval;
2. Approve the project with changes; or 3. Deny the applications for Preliminary Plat and Preliminary Planned Unit Development.

WHEREAS, the Lake Elmo Planning Commission reviewed updated plans on September 26, 2022 and voted to recommend denial of the Preliminary Plat and Preliminary PUD. The Planning Commission found that due to the number of deviations from the V-LDR zoning district
the project does not generally comply with it, the intensity of the proposed development south of
Stillwater Boulevard is too high, and it is unknown what amenities the developer might include for the residents of the development if the project moves forward; and WHEREAS, the Lake Elmo City Council reviewed the Preliminary Plat and Preliminary
PUD as its meeting held on October 4, 2022 and voted to table action on the item due to concern
over the intensity of the proposed development south of Stillwater Boulevard and concern about a lack of community amenities for residents in that part of the project. The City Council indicated that the greatly reduced lot sizes and widths in the area south of Stillwater Boulevard was inconsistent with the V-LDR zoning district.
WHEREAS, Mr. Allen requested an extension of time for the Council to act on the Preliminary Plat and Preliminary PUD and on November 15, 2022 submitted a revised proposal to develop 200 single-family residential lots on only the area of PIDs 14.029.21.14.0001 and 14.029.21.41.0003 north of Stillwater Boulevard. The area South of Stillwater Boulevard would
not be a part of this Preliminary Plat and Preliminary PUD.
WHEREAS, the Lake Elmo Planning Director submitted a report and recommendation on
the Preliminary Plat and Preliminary PUD as part of a memorandum to the City Council for the
December 20, 2022 City Council Meeting; and WHEREAS, the City Council reviewed the Preliminary Plat and Preliminary PUD application for the Schiltgen Farmstead project at its meeting held on December 20, 2022 and made
the following findings of fact:

Written Statement
The proposed development falls within the shoreland of Sunfish Lake and 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 2.35 units/acre.
Legacy at North Star was also in the shoreland district and required a PUD. Legacy and our
proposal are nearly identical in gross acres, Legacy had just over 8 acres in the shoreland
district compared to 53.20 acres in our proposal. The DNR provides a shoreland tiering formula
that allows you to shift density away from the lake in an effort to preserve the shorelines. For Legacy,
we had 92 acres outside of the shoreland overlay that we could transfer the bulk of the density, but in
our proposed development, we only have roughly 32 upland acres outside of the shoreland overlay.
Legacy at North Star was approved at 2.75 units/acre. Our proposal has nearly 44 acres of open space
which equates to roughly 56% of the development excluding wetlands and existing ROW.
A PUD will allow us to design a better use for the area than what would otherwise be required
with the Shoreland Regulations while meeting the densities desired and planned for in the
Comprehensive Plan. We believe we are complying with the following standards and criteria
for a PUD (§154.751):
A. Innovation in land development techniques that may be more suitable for a given
parcel than conventional approaches.
Our design clusters the homes on the flattest portions of the site while providing 50% shoreland
overlay open space which provides more distance between development and the lake, preserving
most of the trees on site, and preserving the existing terrain near the lake.
B. Promotion of integrated land uses, allowing for a mixture of residential, commercial,
and public facilities.
Our proposal incorporates a mixture of housing types. Larger single family lots close to the lake,
smaller single family homes east and along Lake Elmo Avenue. This will provide a good mixture
of housing types and life cycle housing options.
C. Provision of more adequate, usable, and suitably located open space, recreational
amenities, and other public facilities than would otherwise be provided under conventional
land development techniques.
The use of a PUD will help us conserve over 28.38 acres of open space within the shoreland
overlay. This will help provide a buffer around the lake and wetlands while conserving the slopes
and woodlands.
D. 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 mixture of housing types provided along with the proximity of the development will provide
great opportunities for local employees. The location is also ideally located with easy access to
current and future local and regional trail connections. The street connections and trail access
will provide great access for residents to walk, bike or drive to the Old Village and easy access to
area freeways via Stillwater Boulevard and Lake Elmo Avenue.
E. Preservation and enhancement of important environmental features through careful
and sensitive placement of buildings and facilities.
More than 20 acres of land will be maintained in perpetuity as private or public open space
along Sunfish Lake. This open space will conserve the trees and wildlife and provide a nice
gateway to the City.
F. Preservation of historic buildings, structures, or landscape features.
The plan is to preserve and incorporate portions of the Schiltgen Barns as an amenity for the
neighborhood. The barns will be left in an outlot with open space and other amenities for the
residents.
G. Coordination of architectural styles and building forms to achieve greater compatibility
within the development and surrounding land uses.
Our homebuilding partners build quality homes that are architecturally appealing and
compatible with the surrounding developments.
H. Creation of more efficient provision of public utilities and services, lessened demand
on transportation, and the promotion of energy resource conservation.
The development is conveniently located at a main intersection within the City of Lake Elmo,
within walking, biking and short driving distance to retail, office, local and regional parks and
schools. This would allow for the residents to access these services and amenities easily and
lessen the demand on transportation.
The development is also proposed with a water re-use irrigation system that will lessen the
demand on the local water supply.
I. Allowing the development to operate in concert with a redevelopment plan in certain
areas of the City and to ensure the redevelopment goals and objectives will be achieved.
The development will utilize a new sewer line that will be built to serve portions of the Old
Village and immediately provide sewer hook-ups and cost efficiency. The development will also
connect large portions of the County trail system and ultimately connect existing and future
parks and open space. The pond proposed at the corner of Lake Elmo Avenue and Stillwater
Boulevard will be sized to accommodate additional storage for the City and future County road
improvements.
J. Higher standards of site and building design than would otherwise be provided under
conventional land development technique.
A PUD will allow for a more interesting and diverse development and provide a mixture of
housing types to help meet the needs of a broader demographic. A PUD will also allow for more
density that will help justify the sewer extension project.
Proposed Financing
The project will be financed with a combination of private and bank financing. This project is
being developed by the same entity and owners as Legacy at North Star and Village Preserve.
Land Use and Open Space
The proposal includes 200 detached single family homes over 77.46 buildable acres equating
to 2.35 units per acre. There are 53.20 acres in the shoreland district and within the
shoreland, the proposal has 28.38* acres of open space. The entire development has 43.97
acres of open space. Not included in the Open Space total is 1.35 acres for a community
amenity with a gathering area, pool, and park.
*We are only required to provide 26.6 acres of open space in the shoreland and are providing
28.38. We would like approval to shift the extra 1.78 acres to the south for future
development of that site.
All public streets will have parking on one side.
Phasing
Currently we are planning on three phases to the development. The first phase will include a
large portion of the north parcel. We anticipate completing this phase in the summer of 2023.
Assuming current market conditions persist, we anticipate completing a phase every one to
two years.
Restrictive Covenants
The development will have an HOA with covenants in place. There will also be restrictive
covenants placed over the open space provided in the shoreland overlay district.
Architecture
North of Stillwater will have the same or similar architecture as Legacy at North Star.

C. General Information
GWSA Land Development, LLC is proposing to develop two parcels of land in the City of
Lake Elmo that will create a community of 200 detached single family homes. The concept
plan includes an amenity lot with a gathering area, pool and playground along with 20
acres of upland open space in an outlot next to Sunfish Lake. We are proposing 72 lots 65’
wide and 128 lots 51’ 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
98.76 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. The remaining Schiltgen
Parcel is south separated by Stillwater Boulevard. There are three access points to the
single family section north of Stillwater Boulevard. The entire development will provide
43.97 acres of open space, 56% of the upland area excluding ROW.
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.
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 2.35
units/acre.
D. Issues Addressed since Sketch Plan
All of the issues that were raised during sketch plan review are on the south side of
Stillwater Boulevard which is now removed from the proposal and will be retained by the
landowner. The proposal north of Stillwater Boulevard is the same as was presented at
Sketch Plan and Preliminary Plat since there were no recommendations or issues raised
during those reviews.
E. Intent/Vision of the Project
The vision of the project remains the same as the original sketch plan on the north. Single
family homes that will tie in with the surrounding neighborhoods with lots of open space
and amenities provided.
F. Density and Open Space
Land Areas:
Overall Development Area: 98.76 gross acres
Steep Slopes/Bluffs: .86 acres
Wetlands: 13.51 acres
ROW 6.93 acres
Net Overall Residential Buildable: 77.46 acres
Shoreland: 53.20 acres
Opens Space within Shoreland: 28.38 acres
Total Open Space: 43.97 acres
Total Proposed Dwelling Units: 200
Density – (200 / 85.25): 2.35
G. Infrastructure Improvements
The proposed development will have access to Lake Elmo Avenue and Legacy at North Star
development. The main access will be via Lake Elmo Avenue with two additional accesses
from the north via Legacy at North Star. 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 a future trail 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. Conflicts With Nearby Land Uses
Our proposal is in-line with future guidance for the property. The single family homes
proposed will be a continuation of the single family in Legacy at North Star.
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
We are proposing to donate the open space along Sunfish Lake to the City in exchange for
partial credit. If accepted, the public will have access to the Lakeshore. If not accepted, the
Lakeshore will be private and for HOA use only.
L. Parks and Open Space
The development will have a 1.35 acre private HOA amenity lot with a gathering space and
other amenities for the residents. We are proposing to donate over 20 acres of land next to
Sunfish Lake to the City in exchange for partial credit. Depending on how you calculate the
dedication amount we are required to donate 8.5 to 9.9 acres of land and we are proposing
to donate 20 acres in exchange for 50% of what is owed. This would give the City double
the amount of land that is due for half the price.
M. Phasing
Our goal is to have entitlements winter 2023 and begin grading spring of 2023. 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 few variances
from the V-LDR standard needed to get the density required. The variances for lot widths,
lot areas 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 minimum lot areas
requested for each lot type are shown in the table below. The average lot area for the 65’
lots is 9,510, more than the minimum and the average lot area for the 51’ is 7,675. We are
asking for an increase in impervious surface for the smaller lots however with this site
providing so much additional open space, the development as a whole still only has roughly
20% impervious.

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

Schiltgen Farms Development Review
Dear Bob,
Thank you for the opportunity to review the re‐submittal for the proposed Schiltgen Farms development adjacent
to County State Aid Highway (CSAH) 14 and CSAH 17 in the City of Lake Elmo. Washington County’s Department of
Public Works has reviewed the updated plans and offers the following comments:
The plans provided for review lack information for the turn lanes that will need to be reviewed prior to
final plans. How is access proposed for the south school entrance? The northbound left turn onto 37th will
conflict with southbound left turning vehicles into the school access. Washington County staff put
together the attached exhibit detailing the geometrics of our preferred solution. A detailed exhibit
incorporating these comments is requested prior to final design is requested so the County can confirm
the proposal.
The pedestrian crossing at 37th should be pulled east to the radii to allow pedestrians and bicyclists to
cross in front of stopped traffic.
The existing culvert that runs west to east at the north side of the intersection of CSAH 17 and CSAH 14
appears to be shallow. Confirm this doesn’t need to be replaced under the trail with a shallow cover
culvert that can support maintenance/emergency vehicles.
The proposed street access will require an Access Permit from Washington County. The proposed sanitary
and water main crossings under CSAH 14 will require Right‐of‐Way Permits with detailed construction and
traffic control plans.
A great place to live, work and play…today and tomorrow

To: Molly Just, Planning Director Re: Schiltgen Farms West (Stillwater Blvd.)
Cc: Marty Powers, Public Works Director Preliminary PUD Plat/Plan Review
Dustin Kalis, Fire Chief
Chad Isakson, PE, Assistant City Engineer
From: Jack Griffin, P.E., City Engineer
An engineering review has been completed for the Schiltgen Farms West (Stillwater Boulevard) Preliminary PUD
Plat/Plans received on November 17, 2022. The submittal consisted of the following documentation:
Schiltgen Farmstead Preliminary Plat dated September 20, 2022.
Schiltgen Farmstead Preliminary Site Plans, dated November 14, 2022.
Schiltgen Farmstead Plat/PUD Narratives dated November 10, 2022.
Stormwater Management Plan dated November 14, 2022.
STATUS/FINDINGS: A condition of Preliminary Plat approval, if granted, must require the applicant to revise and
resubmit Preliminary Plat/Plans to address each review comment and condition of approval to the satisfaction of
City staff prior to the City accepting a Final Plat/Plan application. Engineering has prepared the following review
comments to be addressed. A point‐by‐point response letter must accompany the plan resubmittal.
In addition, it is recommended that it be a condition of Preliminary Plat/Plan approval that all public
improvements constructed to support the development must be designed and constructed in accordance with the
City Engineering Design Standards Manual dated January 2022, unless approved otherwise by the City Engineer.
The Preliminary Plat/Plans must be revised accordingly.
PRELIMINARY PLAT/SITE PLANS
1. Preliminary Plat approval must be contingent upon revisions to the Preliminary Plat to fully detail all
proposed lot lines, right‐of‐way dedication, Outlots and easements proposed by the subdivision. All lot
lines and plat boundaries must use the same line type with no other plan element using the same line
type. All overlapping or conflicting text must be cleaned up and all overlapping line types must be revised
to improve legibility.
2. The preliminary plat must be revised to clearly show the existing and proposed right‐of‐way dedication
along Stillwater Boulevard (CSAH 14) for the entire southern plat boundary. The Stillwater Boulevard
right‐of‐way dedication remains unclear along the west side of the Plat.
3. Outlot A is proposed as city owned. Outlot A is proposed as dedication to the city as open space. The
Preliminary Plat must be revised to add a plan sheet showing the full extent of Outlot A with all lot lines
clearly labeled.

11. Outlot I is proposed as city owned. It includes stormwater management (Pond #2NW), storm sewer,
public watermain and public sanitary sewer main. Preliminary Plat approval must be contingent upon
revisions to the amenity lot area and Outlot I as they relate to the proposed watermain and sanitary
sewer pipe. The public utilities must be installed entirely within Outlot I.
12. Sheet PP‐2: Revise the proposed offsite easements south of Stillwater Boulevard to provide the sanitary
sewer extension to the westerly plat limits, and to allow for the extension of the public watermain to the
south side of Stillwater Boulevard.
13. Sheet PP3/PP‐4: Additional off‐site easements may be required on the south side of the Lake Elmo
Avenue and Stillwater Boulevard intersection for the proposed watermain connection and storm sewer
outfall flow path.
14. Additional Preliminary Plat revisions may be required for individual lots to ensure sufficient space is
preserved for public utilities, to provide dedicated small/dry utility corridors, or to provide for sufficient
access to dedicated drainage ways (EOFs).
15. Written landowner permission must be submitted with the Final Plat application for any off‐site
permanent and temporary construction easements required to implement the development
improvements (including off‐site improvements).
16. Union Pacific Railroad permits will be required for the Project including the trunk sanitary sewer utility
crossing permit.
TRANSPORTATION IMPROVEMENTS
1. Right‐of‐way dedication requirements shown on the Preliminary Plat appear to be consistent with
Washington County review comments. Prior to receipt of the Final Plat application, the County right‐of‐
way dedication must be reviewed and approved by the County.
2. Right‐of‐way dedication along Lake Elmo Avenue is shown to be 100‐feet along the east plat boundary
and north of 37th Street, and 115‐feet along the east plat boundary and south of 37th Street.
3. Right‐of‐way dedication along Stillwater Boulevard is shown to be 90‐feet from the existing centerline to
the north along the southern plat boundary. The Preliminary Plat must be revised to provide additional
dimensions and labels to verify that 90‐feet is being dedicated throughout the entire southern plat
boundary.
4. Access Management. Access to the proposed development is generally consistent with County and City
requirements. Primary access to Lake Elmo Avenue (CSAH 17) will need to be revised in accordance with
comments received from Washington County to more directly align with the access for the Lake Elmo
Elementary School. Secondary access is completed through two residential street connections to Legacy
at North Star. The Preliminary Plat must be revised accordingly.
5. Intersection Improvements. The applicant will be responsible to construct all intersection and turn lane
improvements at the new access location of 37th Street North and Lake Elmo Avenue. Turn lanes must be
designed and constructed as part of the subdivision improvements and as required by Washington
County.
PAGE 3 of 7
RESIDENTIAL STREETS
1. All streets are proposed to be publicly owned and maintained. Public streets must be designed to meet
the City’s Engineering Design Standards including right‐of‐way width, street width and cul‐de‐sac radii(s).
The preliminary plat/plans propose public street widths of 28‐feet located within 60‐foot right‐of‐way.
Consistent with current city standards, if approved, the streets would need to be signed no parking along
one side.
2. The proposed internal street network is well interconnected creating multiple access routes into and out
of the development, with only one proposed cul‐de‐sac.
3. The street plan proposes a raised landscaped median at the subdivision entrance from Lake Elmo Avenue.
Divided roadways must be a minimum of 19 feet wide each way from back of curb to back of curb. A
dedicated right‐turn lane has been shown as required at the intersection with Lake Elmo Avenue.
4. The typical sections for public streets must be revised to provide the city standard minimum 4% boulevard
grade within the drainage and utility easement corridor.
5. All driveways on the site plans, street plans, utility plans and grading plans must be extended to the back
of curb and must be shown perpendicular within the public right‐of‐way.
6. All street intersections must be at 90 degrees and maintain 50‐feet of tangent with maximum slopes of
2.5%. Residential maximum longitudinal grade is 6% with sidewalks.
7. Surmountable concrete curb and gutter shall be installed along the frontage of all proposed residential
lots and B618 curb installed along entrance roadways, along center medians, and roadway stretches with
no lot frontage.
8. Six (6) foot sidewalks must be provided along all residential streets and as may be required for
connectivity. Sidewalks are shown along one side of all public streets as required.
9. The street lighting plans must be revised to provide street lights at intersections, end of cul‐de‐sacs and at
trail connections. All other street lights must be removed.
10. The “No Parking” sign plan must be revised as follows: Place first sign at 20 feet from start of no parking
area. Place signs every 300 feet thereafter.
11. The city standard “No Parking” sign shall be used as follows: R8‐3 12” x 12”.
12. A bituminous trail is shown along Lake Elmo Avenue as required, and may potentially become part of the
Greenway Trail Corridor. The trails must be constructed as directed by Washington County, including
intersection crossing improvements at the Lake Elmo Avenue and Stillwater Boulevard signalized
intersection. The trail along Stillwater Boulevard must be 10‐ft. wide.
13. A bituminous trail has been shown along 37th Street North and Knightbridge Lane as required, to connect
the existing trail in Legacy at North Star to the Schiltgen subdivision and then connecting to the trail along
Lake Elmo Avenue at 39th Street North.
14. Ten (10) foot utility easements are required on either side of all right‐of‐way and the corridors reserved
for the installation of small/dry utilities. Along Outlots, 10‐foot corridors must be shown on the site plan,
utility plan and grading plan to preserve the corridor use for the placement of small/dry utilities.
GRADING PLANS, STORMWATER MANAGEMENT AND STORM SEWER SYSTEM
1. The subdivision is subject to a storm water management plan meeting State, Valley Branch Watershed
District (VBWD) and city rules. A VBWD permit is required. Storm water facilities proposed as part of the
development to meet State and watershed permitting requirements must be constructed in accordance
with the City Engineering Design Standards Manual dated January 2022.
2. As part of the city’s Capital Improvement Plan (CIP), the city has identified the need for a Regional Pond to
be located at the intersection of Stillwater Boulevard and Lake Elmo Avenue. The Regional Pond is
planned as a “wet pond” with a 3‐acre permanent pool with requirements to significantly reduce the
discharge rates for the 2‐year, 10‐year, 100‐year storm events, and 100‐year snow melt. The required
ponding is intended to provide additional discharge rate reduction that significantly exceed the reductions
necessary by the development to meet City, VBWD and State permitting requirements. The capacity and
area dedicated for the required regional pond must be incorporated into the project as a condition of
preliminary and final plat approval.
PAGE 4 of 7
3. The proposed subdivision will fully develop the area north of County State Aid Highway (CSAH) 14 and
west of Lake Elmo Avenue (CSAH 17). The development project must therefore incorporate into the
project as a condition of preliminary and final plat approval, regional stormwater management capacity
for the future County Roadway improvements along County State Aid Highway (CSAH) 14 and Lake Elmo
Avenue (CSAH 17). The VBWD permit application must expressly request and detail these future
improvements to be included in the stormwater management provisions for the permit for this
development, thereby specifically requesting a regional permit approach through the VBWD.
Revise the Stormwater Management Plan to specifically request from the VBWD a regional permit
approach for the future County roadway improvements as presented.
Revise Figure 20 to provide the dimensions of each roadway drainage area including length and
widths, label each subarea, and indicate to which pond each subarea will be discharged.
Revise the stormwater management plan such that the west portion of the future Stillwater
Boulevard improvements (ROWEW) will discharge to Pond 2NW and the east portion (ROWNS) will
discharge to Pond 1N per the drainage divides presented.
4. Rate control requirements must be met for all points of discharge from the site in addition to a cumulative
site analysis. The existing and proposed drainage exhibits must be revised to include all proposed
improvement areas and clearly show and label all points of discharge from the site. The SWMP rate
control tables must reference each discharge location independently and combined using the same
labeling as depicted on the exhibits.
Provide cumulative pre and post discharge rate summary table.
Provide written statements indicating that the County roadway improvements are included in the pre
and post discharge rate analyses for each applicable discharge location and in the cumulative analysis.
Revise Table 5.7. and Table 5.8 to identify the proposed condition discharge rates following the
construction of the subdivision. If no stormwater mitigation has been introduced the proposed
condition discharges cannot be zero, they would be the same as the exiting conditions.
5. The storm water plan proposes stormwater reuse irrigation in place of infiltration. Therefore, all storm
water basins are proposed as wet ponds. City design standards require that flood management provisions
be implemented for all new developments assuming no storm water reuse irrigation is operating.
6. The storm water management plan indicates that the storm water management for the Schiltgen
subdivision will account for the failed infiltration basins from the Legacy at North Star developments. The
SWMP indicates that the volume abstraction includes replacement volume abstraction for Pond 1 (Legacy
1st Addition Infiltration Area A) and Pond 7 (Legacy 3rd Addition Infiltration Area 7). Approval of this
replacement capacity is contingent upon permit approval from the VBWD and contingent upon the storm
water management plan being revised to provide all design details and specific assumptions made for this
analysis to the satisfaction of the City Engineer.
Revise SWMP and exhibits to include volume abstraction replacement for Legacy 1st Addition
Infiltration Area 1 (Outlot A). This infiltration area has not been found to be functioning as designed.
Revise Table 5.14 to limit the maximum irrigation area for each lot to be 50% based on the approved
maximum impervious surface area for each lot. The developer has requested a variance for this
subdivision to allow up to 50% impervious surfaces. If not approved, then the maximum impervious
surface must be limited to 35%.
Revise Table 5.14 to remove Outlots E, F, G, H and I from the reuse irrigation areas. These Outlots will
be city owned, be reserved for stormwater management wet ponds, contain wetted surfaces or
slopes greater than 4:1, and will not contain regularly maintained vegetated areas deemed
appropriate for irrigated system installation.
Add water reuse irrigation construction plan to the plan set to depict the proposed irrigation system
supply and feeder lines. Irrigation supply and feeder lines must be installed in locations that do not
encroach city drainage and utility easements or public right‐of‐way, with the exceptions of
perpendicular crossings.
VBWD and city approval of the Schiltgen development storm water management plan does not in
itself grant approval of the Legacy development storm water infiltration basin design revisions. The
approval provides only an indication that the storm water management changes being proposed may
PAGE 5 of 7
be an approvable plan once a full application specific to the Legacy development has been prepared
and submitted by the developer. A comprehensive application must include revised Legacy infiltration
basin grading plans (repurposed as wet ponds), detailed construction plans for the Schiltgen storm
water irrigation reuse system meeting city irrigation reuse design standards, and ownership,
operation and management plans, including any required easements and maintenance agreements.
7. All storm water basins have been placed in Outlots dedicated to the city as required. Each Outlot must
fully incorporate the 100‐year HWL, 10‐foot maintenance bench and all maintenance access roads.
Maintenance access roads meeting city standards must be provided for all storm water facilities and
structures. All adjacent lot corners must be +.2 ft above the 100‐year HWL to meet construction tolerance
and maintain HWL on each Outlot. Storm water ponding, including the 100‐year HWL, may not encroach
adjacent roadway right‐of‐way, or adjacent sanitary sewer or watermain utility easement corridors.
8. Approval of the preliminary grading plans for the development is contingent upon all grading plans being
reviewed and approved by the City Engineer prior to the start of any grading or construction.
Revise the storm sewer plans, utility plans and grading plans to better detail the existing and
proposed point discharge locations at the intersection of Lake Elmo Avenue and Stillwater Boulevard
(CSAH 14). Provide detailed drainage map for the area complete with all culvert pipe sizes, materials,
inverts, and direction of flow. Provide detail for all structures, rim and inverts and pipe connections.
Provide 100‐year HWL elevations and HWL contour for all low areas, including upstream of dual CMP
culverts, SE offsite discharge location, downstream of the dual CMP culverts, and at Lake Elmo
Elementary school. Provide emergency overflow location and elevations (provide critical design spot
elevations that will be used for as‐built verification). Us minimum plan scale of 1” = 20 feet.
GP4. Regrade Legacy Pond 7 to incorporate the failed infiltration bench to the proposed wet pond and
include storm sewer revisions necessary for the conversion.
GP2. Regrade south end of Pond 2NE to meet city standards for minimum 4‐ft pond depth. More than
50% of pond length is less than the required depth.
GP2. Consider combining Pond 4 and Legacy Pond 1 to improve pond operation and aesthetics.
GP3. Revise grading/site design at intersection of Stillwater Boulevard and Lake Elmo Avenue. Create
a single and defined EOF flow pathway from Pond 1N with reinforced EOF elevation. Create a defined
low area at the culvert entrance with reinforced pooling area that is separated from proposed trail.
Overland emergency overflow (EOF) elevations are required throughout the site, requiring a system of
interconnecting drainage ways. Low openings for adjacent structures must maintain 1‐foot above any
adjacent EOF in the as‐built condition.
All drainage swales must be designed to meet a minimum 2% as‐built grade. Design grades must
exceed 2% to account for construction tolerances.
Preliminary plat approval must be contingent upon the 100‐year HWL elevation/contour for all
localized low points and catch basins being protected by drainage and utility easement dedicated on
the Plat.
Landscaping improvements must be closely coordinated with the preparation of the construction
plans to ensure that tree plantings do not encroach drainage swales, EOF flow paths, utility
easements, and pond access routes.
9. The storm sewer system shall be designed to maintain the city standard minimum pipe cover of 3.0 feet,
unless approved by the City Engineer. 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. Any exceptions must be specifically called out and shown in a storm sewer
structure table for city review.
10. The maximum curb run prior to a catch basin is 350 feet.
11. Per city requirements all storm sewer pipe easements must be a minimum 30‐feet in width.
12. Revise all city details and plan notes with current city standards dated January 2022.
13. When preparing construction plans for City review, all existing and proposed storm sewer must be labeled
consistent with the city plan format requirements, including all pipe size, materials, and inverts being
labeled on the plan sheet. Structure and pipe tables may be placed on the plans but this information does
not replace this labeling requirement.
PAGE 6 of 7
14. As a critical infrastructure component for the proposed stormwater management for the site, a detailed
condition assessment must be completed for the existing Double CMP culvert pipes located at the
intersection of Stillwater Boulevard and Lake Elmo Avenue, including televising and visual inspections to
determine replacement or pipe repairs necessary for the proposed improvements.
MUNICIPAL WATER SUPPLY
1. Municipal water supply is available in several locations, located immediately adjacent to the proposed
development. The applicant is responsible to extend the municipal water supply into the development
site at developer’s sole cost. Watermain distribution lines and connections will be required wherever
reasonably possible to create a looped network.
2. On the north end of the development, connection to the existing 8‐inch watermain in the Legacy at North
Star subdivision will be required in two locations.
3. On the south end of the development, a 12‐inch trunk watermain must be connected to the existing 6‐
inch watermain located on the southeast corner of Stillwater Boulevard and Lake Elmo Avenue, and
routed along Stillwater Boulevard (CSAH 14) with a 12‐inch trunk watermain stub installed at the westerly
plat boundary on the south side of Stillwater Boulevard. Plan revisions may be necessary once detailed
construction plans are reviewed for hydrant locations and main placement, and additional easements
must be provided accordingly.
4. Watermain oversizing reimbursement is addressed as part of the development agreement for each phase.
5. Hydrants and system valves must be installed as part of the development as directed by the Lake Elmo
Fire Department and Public Works Director.
6. Minimum 30‐foot easements centered over the pipe/hydrant will be required when not located within
the public right‐of‐way. Easements must be free from all encroachments, including retaining walls, trees,
other small/dry utilities, or storm water management BMPs. Easements must be dedicated to the city as
part of the plat. Dedicated watermain easements must be shown on all site, grading, utility, and
landscape plans when submitting a Preliminary and Final Plat application.
7. The plans must be revised such that all water/sewer services are installed perpendicular to the main. The
services must be revised to remove all bends.
8. When preparing construction plans for City review, all existing and proposed watermain must be labeled
consistent with the city plan format requirements, including all pipe sizes and materials being labeled on
the plan sheet.
MUNICIPAL SANITARY SEWER
1. The proposed site is located in the Old Village MUSA area in the city’s Comprehensive Plan and will
discharge to the MCES Cottage Grove Ravine Interceptor.
2. Sanitary sewer service is not yet available to serve this property. Construction work for the Old Village
Phase 5 and 6 Street and Utility Improvements remains in progress with a completion expected in the
Spring 2023. This project will install a 15‐inch trunk sanitary sewer main to the south side of the UP
Railroad, at the intersection of Klondike Avenue and 33rd Street North. This sewer stub represents the
connection point that will serve the development.
3. The applicant is responsible to extend sanitary sewer north across the UP Railroad into and throughout
the development at developer’s sole cost. A 15‐inch PVC or 14‐inch C900 trunk sanitary sewer must be
extended north across the UP Railroad to Stillwater Boulevard (CSAH 14) with a 15‐inch PVC stub installed
to the western boundary of the development for future extension along Stillwater Boulevard (CSAH 14).
The remaining parts of the subdivision can be served with the extension of 8‐inch gravity sanitary sewer.
4. The trunk sanitary sewer must be 15‐inch PVC or 14‐inch C900 pipe from EX11 to T3 and including the
stub pipe to the west plat limits. The stub sewer pipe from T3 must be extended fully to the west plat
limits and be stubbed into the County right‐of‐way for future extension and connection. Additional
easements must be provided accordingly.
5. The sanitary sewer alignment from T6 to T7 must be revised. The flow line through manhole T6 cannot to
be less than 90‐degress. Outlot I must be revised to fully contain the sanitary sewer and parallel
PAGE 7 of 7
watermain from T6 to T7, including a minimum 15‐foot offset from pipeline centerline, creating a
minimum 40‐foot utility corridor with no encroachments and no stormwater basin encroachments.
6. Sanitary sewer oversizing is reimbursed to the developer for the added pipe diameter over a minimum 8‐
inch sewer pipe. No reimbursement is made for added pipe depths. Oversizing cost reimbursement is
addressed as part of the development agreements for each phase.
7. A sanitary sewer service stub is shown for the existing property at 3360 Klondike Avenue. This property is
located in the current MUSA.
8. Sanitary sewer pipe and sewer service sizes and materials must be shown throughout the plans in both
plan and profile view. All casing pipe size and materials must be as selected by the City Engineer.
9. The plans must be revised such that all water/sewer services are installed perpendicular to the main. The
services must be revised to remove all bends.
10. When preparing construction plans for City review, all existing and proposed sanitary sewer must be
labeled consistent with the city plan format requirements, including all pipe size, materials, and inverts
being labeled on the plan sheet. Structure and pipe tables may be placed on the plans but this
information does not replace this labeling requirement.
11. All public sanitary sewer mains placed within the development will require minimum 30‐foot easements
centered over the pipe and be dedicated to the city as part of the final plat, if not located within a public
right‐of‐way. Dedicated utility easements must be shown on all site, grading, utility, and landscape plans,
and remain free from encroachments, including retaining walls, trees, or other small/dry utilities.

A. RECOMMENDED CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT FINDINGS
1. The proposed use will not be detrimental to or endanger the public health, safety, comfort,
convenience or general welfare of the neighborhood or the city. The proposed use should not be
Lake Elmo Planning Commission Minutes: 8-8-2022
detrimental or in any way endanger the public health, safety, comfort, convenience, or general welfare of
the neighborhood or the city if plans are meeting all stormwater management requirements for State,
Valley Branch Watershed District, and City requirements.
2. The use or development conforms to the City of Lake Elmo Comprehensive Plan. The
proposal conforms to the Comprehensive Plan.
3. The use or development is compatible with the existing neighborhood. The proposed use is
permitted in the Village Mixed Use District as a Conditional Use. The properties to the south and west
are non-residential uses (City Hall and Day Care Center). The residential development to the west is
separated by Lake Elmo Ave and the senior living center to north gathers a congregation of people
similar to that of the indoor recreation facility.
4. The proposed use meets all specific development standards for such use listed in the Zoning Code.
The proposed use requires a minimum of two accesses as per 105.12.550. This criteria would be
satisfied with the proposed variance approval.
5. If the proposed use is in a flood plain management or shoreland area, the proposed use meets
all the specific standards for such use listed in Article XIX (Shoreland Management) and Title 100
(Flood Plain Management). The proposed use is not in a flood plain management or shoreland area.
6. The proposed use will be designed, constructed, operated, and maintained so as to be compatible
in appearance with the existing or intended character of the general vicinity and will not change the
essential character of that area. The proposed use will be compatible in
appearance with the existing character of the general vicinity and will not change the essential character of

B. RECCOMENDED VARIANCE FINDINGS
An applicant must establish and demonstrate compliance with the variance criteria set forth in Lake
Elmo City Code Section 105.12.320 before the City may grant an exception or modification to city
code requirements. These criteria are listed below, along with comments from Staff about the
applicability of these criteria to the applicant’s request.
1) Practical Difficulties. A variance to the provision of this chapter may be granted by the Board of
Adjustment upon the application by the owner of the affected property where the strict enforcement
of this chapter would cause practical difficulties because of circumstances unique to the individual
property under consideration and then only when it is demonstrated that such actions will be in
keeping with the spirit and intent of this chapter. Definition of practical difficulties - “Practical
difficulties” as used in connection with the granting of a variance, means that the property owner
proposes to use the property in a reasonable manner not permitted by an official control.
a. The applicant is unable to obtain a second access point as required by City Code for
an indoor athletic facility. Access along Lake Elmo Ave N would require Washington
County approval. Washington County will not support an access along Lake Elmo Ave N
due to the existing turn lane and proximity to the intersection of 39th Street North and
Lake Elmo Ave N. The applicant explored other alternatives
such as a shared access with the existing Day Care Center access to the south. The County
would like to remove the day care access in the future with an alternative access.
Washington County has recommended to not move the proposed Kokoro Volleyball access
any closer to Lake Elmo Ave.
2) Unique Circumstances. The plight of the landowner is due to circumstances unique to the property
not created by the landowner.
b. The unique circumstances were not created by the applicant or property owner.
The existing turn lane and intersection were not created by the applicant or property
owner. Nor is the proposed site design prohibiting a second access opportunity.
3) Character of Locality. The proposed variance will not alter the essential character of the locality
in which the property in question is located.
c. The request will not alter the essential character. The proposed single access is to
align directly across from the existing Senior Living Facility. The directly adjacent parcels
are also of a nonresidential use. Adjacent parcels to the south and east also have one access.
Lake Elmo Planning Commission Minutes: 8-8-2022
4) Adjacent Properties and Traffic. The proposed variance will not impair an adequate supply of
light and air to properties adjacent to the property in question or substantially increase the
congestion of the public streets or substantially diminish or impair property values within the
neighborhood.
The proposed request should not impair adjacent property values. Traffic numbers will increase, but
these increases will occur during typical low traffic volume times. Hours of operation are proposed
between as 3:30 pm- 9:30 pm Monday-Friday and 8am -4pm Saturday and Sunday.

Public Hearings:
a) 10212 Stillwater Lane N Variance Request. Thomas Buege (Property Owner/Applicant)
recently submitted a variance application to install a replacement sewage treatment system and septic tanks within 75 feet of a delineated wetland boundary located at 10212 Stillwater Lane N, parcel 14.029.21.32.0003 (Subject Property). The property owner is proposing to construct a mound septic system to replace the existing failing septic system. To do this, the applicant is proposing to plant a 25 foot vegetative buffer between the rock and sand bed and the delineated wetland boundary. The proposed mound
system would consist of a 10 foot by 45 rock and bed, a 14 foot by 45 foot sand absorption area, and three tanks.
City Planner Hetzel gave presentation and answered questions.
A. REVIEW AND ANALYSIS/DRAFT FINDINGS:
An applicant must establish and demonstrate compliance with the variance criteria set forth in Lake
Elmo City Code Section 105.12.320 set forth by the MN Stat. 462.357 subd.6 before the City may grant
an exception or modification to city code requirements. These criteria are listed below, along with comments from Staff about the applicability of these criteria to the applicant’s request. 1) Practical Difficulties. A variance to the provision of this chapter may be granted by the Board of
Lake Elmo Planning Commission Minutes: 9-26-2022
Adjustment upon the application by the owner of the affected property where the strict enforcement
of this chapter would cause practical difficulties because of circumstances unique to the individual
property under consideration and then only when it is demonstrated that such actions will be in keeping with the spirit and intent of this chapter. Definition of practical difficulties - “Practical difficulties” as used in connection with the granting of a variance, means that the property owner proposes to use the property in a reasonable manner not permitted by an official control.
FINDINGS:
Strict enforcement of the code would create an inability to properly dispose of domestic wastewater.
The parcel configuration, existing structures, and fill material south of the home leave a limited
amount of area for a replacement sewage treatment system. The only usable soils are within the 75
foot wetland setback area. Granting a variance would allow the applicant to use the property in a
reasonable manner as there is no public sewer service available at this location.
2) Unique Circumstances. The plight of the landowner is due to circumstances unique to the property not created by the landowner. FINDINGS:
The applicant is not responsible for the parcel configuration, existing structures, or the placement of
fill on the southern portion of the parcel. The applicant purchased the property in 2007 with all
existing conditions in place.
3) Character of Locality. The proposed variance will not alter the essential character of the
locality in which the property in question is located.
FINDINGS:
The proposed sewage treatment system would not alter the essential character of the neighborhood.
The proposed mound system would be located in the rear yard with limited visibility from surrounding
properties. Upon installation, a vegetative cover would be established to prevent erosion and make
the mound system more inconspicuous.
Surrounding residential properties also have private sewage treatment systems due to public sewer
service not being available to the area.
4) Adjacent Properties and Traffic. The proposed variance will not impair an adequate supply
of light and air to properties adjacent to the property in question or substantially increase the
congestion of the public streets or substantially diminish or impair property values within the neighborhood. FINDINGS:
The proposed request will have no effect on the supply of light and air to adjacent properties or
increase congestion in the public streets. Property values should not be diminished from the request.
Residential properties in the area are to be served by similar private or community wastewater
treatment systems. The system is designed as a Type 3 sewage treatment system, which treats
wastewater at higher standard prior to effluent being dispersed to the mound system.
The applicant Thomas Buege spoke regarding the need for this variance.
Lake Elmo Planning Commission Minutes: 9-26-2022
The city received an email from Steve & Linda Kallevang (10120 Stillwater Lane N) stating they have no

install a sewage treatment system and septic tanks within 75 feet of a delineated wetland boundary at 10212
Stillwater Lane N, with recommended conditions of approval. Vote: 4-0, motion carried unanimously.
(Steil absent). Vrieze stated that the applicant has done his due-diligence and this variance is acceptable ,
Mueller, Risner and Rehkamp in agreement.
b) Crossroads East Conditional Use Permits Request. Heppner’s Auto Body, Delwin Transfer,
and Carden Equities have applied for Conditional Use Permits to operate in the already constructed Crossroads East business park warehouse at 11160 Hudson Blvd. Commissioner Vrieze recused himself due to conflict of interest.
City Planner Hetzel gave presentation and answered questions. Planning Director Just answered question regarding water supply for this property and reiterated that there is adequate water supply. Director Just also explained the process of revocation should the tenant not be in
compliance with the code standards.
