Capstone Homes (Munger Property) – Sketch Plan dedicated with Oneka Place which is southwest the development. Currently, there is not a plan for the passive park but a trail system existed within the park. Frog Hollow, in neighborhood park service area 4, is to the south of the property about .8 miles away and the newly dedicated park in Oneka Prairie and may be considered to be within walking distance. The Trail Plan shows an existing trail extending from the south to 165th Street. The entire property is shown as a part of the greenway corridor that follows the ditch. The developer has not shown on their plan that they would extend the City’s trail system through the subdivision. This will need to be included in the plans. As a way to strengthen the developer’s ability to demonstrate they meet the PUD criteria the developer could construct off-road trails to highlight the natural features on the site by providing access and a recreation amenity. Natural surface, gravel or paved trails could be located adjacent to stormwater ponds and/or the ditch corridor. The Parks Commission provided non-binding feedback to the developer on February 19, 2025. They stated that the development is served by the existing parks in the area and will not be required to dedication land, however will be required to pay the fee. They stated they would support the PUD with an off-road trail system within in the development. Landscaping The developer has not submitted a landscape plan. In exchange for PUD flexibility, the City could expect a landscape plan that goes beyond the minimum requirements to provide street trees, entrance streetscaping, plantings around any monument sign, plantings in open space, etc. The developer should also provide a landscape buffer along 165th Street. Wetlands The developer has stated they have had an initial wetland delineation completed. It has not been approved by the Technical Evaluation Panel (TEP) but will need to be approved prior to moving forward. The developer has stated that they will evaluate the site to preserve to the maximum extent possible the sites natural features (wetland, floodplain, shoreland, etc) as part of the PUD request. The plan does show a few places for wetland impact for road connections. A wetland replacement plan would need to be applied and approved by the TEP if the developer plans to impact any wetlands on the site. This will be evaluated as the project moves forward. Staff has recommended that the applicant schedule a preliminary TEP meeting. Stormwater Management/Water Re-Use The developer is proposing to complete stormwater management through the construction of ponds within the site. Staff will be working with the developer, as this project moves forward, as it relates to stormwater management, floodplain, and infiltration. The developer has also indicated that they will not be using stormwater for irrigation purposes within the development. Staff recommends this be evaluated to see if it is feasible. If the system is
