Hugo Estates Apartments and Manufactured Home Community Expansion Page 15 Drainage/Grading The site is proposing to meet stormwater management requirements through the use of onsite infiltration basins; one large centrally located infiltration basin and one linear long basin behind the proposed lots on the east side of the site. Due to concerns over difficult future maintenance, it is recommended the applicant consider removing the linear basin and draining the rear lot area through storm sewer to the proposed central infiltration basin. Site design would need to be confirmed to be in compliance with rate control and water quality requirements if modifications are made. Water reuse is not proposed for the site and is not recommended based on the limited amount of runoff from the site available for reuse Utilities City water and sewer utilities are available. The utilities are sufficient to serve the development. The applicant will serve the apartments and additional manufactured homes with City sewer and water. Additional hydrants will be available on the property. The developer will be responsible for the City’s water and sewer trunk fees, as well as the water (WAC) and sewer (SAC) connection fees to be paid at the time of the building permit. The developer will also be responsible for the Met Council sewer connection fee. Wetlands There are no wetlands on the property. Park Dedication The City Code requires either park dedication of 17 percent of the buildable land area or cash-in- lieu of land (currently $3,400 per unit). Cash-in-lieu of land would be $108,000 at the current rates ($3,400 x 45 units). The Parks Commission considered accepting cash-in-lieu of land at its October 24, 2022, meeting and recommended approval to the City Council. Lot Split The applicant would like to subdivide the parcel to have separate parcels for the apartments and manufactured home community. The proposed lots meet the minimum lot size for the Medium Density multifamily residential (R-5) zoning district. The conditional use permits and development agreement will have a maximum overall density for the projects. 6. CONCLUSION: The developer has done a good job with the overall site plan and the general design of the building. Staff will continue to work with the developer on the required revisions to the plans and architecture. Staff finds that the proposal meets all the requirements necessary for the City to approve the applications as outlined in the City Code, if the conditions are met in the attached resolution.
