Preliminary Plat and PUD General Plan for a residential development to be known as “Adelaide Landing” DATE: March 10, 2017 for the Parks Commission meeting of March 22, 2017 1. BACKGROUND: At the meeting of July 13, 2017, the Parks Commission provided comments on a sketch plan submitted by Excelsior Group for a residential development now known as “Adelaide Landing”. Discussion included the proposed trail system, dedication of a park, and construction of some park improvements. Excelsior Group has made a proposal for park dedication that includes a combination of park land and fees. They are also proposing to construct a trail system and grade and landscape the park. 2. DESCRIPTION: Excelsior Group has submitted an application requesting approval of a Preliminary Plat and Planned Unit Development (PUD) for a residential development. The property totals 216.6 acres and is comprised of seven parcels. The preliminary plat includes 319 single family residential lots and 10 outlots to be known as “Adelaide Landing”. The PUD General Plan will be for all 216.6 acres of the property and will be rezoned from Single Family Detached Residential (R-3) to Planned Unit Development (PUD). The property includes wetlands and floodplain for a total buildable acreage of 146.2 acres. An 18 acre City-owned property that is mostly wetland will be used for stormwater ponding. The development is generally located north of 130th and east of Highway 61. The plan includes residential lots, preserved wetlands, stormwater ponding areas, a park, sidewalk - 2 - Excelsior Group March 22, 2017 and trail connections, and road connections. The applicant is proposing the project to be built in five phases. 3. PARKS COMMISSION DISCUSSION At their meeting of July 13, 2016, the Parks Commission reviewed a sketch plan and provided informal comments on the sketch plan. The trail system was favorably discussed, especially taking advantage of the wetlands and greenspace which make the corridor scenic. It was important to the Commission that trail connections were made to existing neighborhoods. When looking at the proposed park layout, the Parks Commission discussed favorably the open play areas, pickle ball court, soccer field, and variety of park features. Having a variety of playground equipment for a mix of age groups and possibly including things like climbers, spinners, and exercise equipment was discussed. The Parks Commission expressed that it is very important to have the park and trails built in the early phases of the development. 4. PARK PROPSOSAL: The developer is proposing to dedicate, grade, and landscape a 7.8 acre park that is divided into two areas- an open field area and an active park area with a playground, multi-sport court and park shelter. An extensive off-road trail system that includes 1.5 miles of trails and boardwalks that connects to adjacent neighborhoods will be constructed by the developer. PUD Flexibility The developer is requesting flexibility for lot width, lot size, and setbacks with their PUD. In exchange for this flexibility, the city expects a higher level of design and amenities within a project. Among other things, the developer is:  Grading and landscaping a public park within the neighborhood.  Providing a public trail to connect to existing trails in the adjacent developments.  Preserving and enhancing natural features with an off-road trail system that meanders through the development.  Preserving existing significant trees on the property. Phasing Plan With phase 1, the developer shall grade and seed the city-owned outlot (Outlot A, Country Ponds) and the areas south of the power line easement. This includes the park area showing a soccer field. In phase 2, the developer shall grade and seed the remaining park areas (north of power line easement) and install the 8’ bituminous trail, boardwalks, - 3 - Excelsior Group March 22, 2017 and landscaping within all of outlot C. Final location of the trail and boardwalk shall be reviewed and approved by staff prior to installation. 5. PARK DEDICATION: The developer is proposing to dedicate 7.8 acres of land for the purposes of a public park in combination with paying parkland dedication fees. Parkland dedication of 14.6 acres is required, therefore the proposed dedication of 7.8 acres of satisfies 53% of the requirement. The remaining 47% would be satisfied through fees. Currently, the park dedication fee is $2,400 per unit and would therefore be $1,128 per unit or $359,832 in total. 6. STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends that the Parks Commission support the off-road trail improvements and park landscaping and grading. Staff also recommends that the Parks Commission have discussion on the City’s option to construct the remaining park improvements (playground, parking areas, and park shelter, etc.) to be continued at a future meeting. Staff recommends that the Parks Commission approve the park dedication proposal in the amount of 7.8 acres and $1,128 per unit ($359,832 for 319 units). ATTACHMENTS: 1.

Parks Commission Report dated July 13, 2016 with attachments March 8, 2017 Shayla Denaway City of Hugo 14669 Fitzgerald Avenue N Hugo, MN 55038 Re: Adelaide Landing – Park Proposal Dear Shayla, As follow-up from our discussions with staff, The Excelsior Group submits this proposal related to park dedication for Adelaide Landing. It is understood that park dedication for new development can be achieved in one of two ways: land dedication (10% of net developable area) or a fee in lieu of land ($2,400 per unit). With a net developable area of 146.2 acres, 14.6 acres of park land dedication is required. Per the attached Park Exhibit, the total outlot area dedicated for park or public use is 35 acres. This encompasses wetland, ponding and trails which will offer a unique experience with not only opportunities for active play, but also connections to the natural environment. Of this larger parcel, 7.8 acres will be specifically dedicated for park land credit or approximately 53% of the City requirement. Therefore, the remaining requirement will be paid in cash: 47% of $2,400 or $1,128 per unit. With 312 units in the neighborhood, the total cash dedication would be $351,936. Under the PUD Zoning Code, flexibility is being requested for reduced road widths, setbacks and lot sizing to create a neighborhood with an enhanced overall design. In exchange for flexibility from the standard R-3 zoning ordinance, wetlands and wooded areas are preserved, a variety of housing styles are created and landscaping standards are exceeded. Most notably related to Parks is the extensive trail system; 8,000 lineal feet (1.5 miles) of trails and boardwalks are proposed to be constructed throughout the neighborhood. These will provide connections to the much-needed neighborhood park for Adelaide Landing and the surrounding community. The Excelsior Group, LLC  1660 Highway 100 South, Suite 400, St. Louis Park, MN 55416 952-525-3200  ExcelsiorLLC.com  Info@ExcelsiorLLC.com Developer installed park improvements not only include the trails and boardwalks, but also the grading, seeding and trees within the park and along the trails. The neighborhood will be served by a water reuse system whereby the ponds will be used to irrigate lawns and common open space. The pumps will be appropriately sized and an irrigation service connection will be provided to accommodate the park area. The neighborhood master homeowners association will be responsible for maintaining the pumps and winterization of the neighborhood’s mainline system. To summarize, below is a chart of the anticipated park improvements showing the responsible party for installation. If it means completing the park sooner, the developer is willing to install City improvements for an in-kind reduction in park fees.

Open Play Landscape Island Wetland Boardwalk Wetland Boardwalk Landscape Buer Soccer Field Adelaide Landing Preliminary Plat/PUD – Narrative 1 ADELAIDE LANDING Hugo, Minnesota PROJECT NARRATIVE March 10, 2017 Nestled among acres of wetlands, Adelaide Landing demonstrates an appreciation for the natural environment. Preservation of the wetland system enhances connections with nature. The extensive trail system meanders organically throughout the site allowing one to appreciate the open views and wildlife. Both street and trail connections are created to neighbors, to nature and to the surrounding community. Trails lead to the centrally located park which is a gathering space for families to picnic, kids to play or individuals to simply enjoy nature. Curved streets follow the edges of wetlands and ponds to create a design where a majority of home sites back to open space. A variety of lot sizes craft a community for those at different life stages and income levels. Home styles will attract first time homebuyers, families with children as well as empty nesters. LOCATION The site is located at the northeast intersection of CSAH 61 and 130th Street North. GENERAL DESCRIPTION OF REQUEST Preliminary Plat and PUD approval is being sought for the 217-acre site. In all 319 units are proposed creating a gross density of 1.5 units per acre. The net developable area of 146 acres creates a net density of 2.2 units per acre, which is well below the maximum density of 4 units per acre in the R-3 Zoning District. Generally, a combination of lot sizes is proposed: 45’, 50’, 65’, 70’ and 85’ widths. Below is a comparison of the R-3 Zoning requirements versus the proposed lot sizes: R-3 Zoning District Proposed Villa Lots Proposed 50’ Wide Lots Proposed 65’ Wide Lots Proposed 70’ Wide Lots Proposed 85’ Wide Lots Lot Size (min) 10,400 SF 5,850 SF 6,513 SF 8,450 SF 9,029 SF 11,050 SF Lot Size (avg) 8,601 SF 8,138 SF 11,823 SF 10,529 SF 13,017 SF Lot Width (min) 80 Ft 45 Ft 50 Ft 65 Ft 70 Ft 85 Ft Lot Depth (min) 100 Ft 130 Ft 130 Ft 130 Ft 130 Ft 130 Ft Front Setback (min) 30 Ft 20 Ft – Side Load Garage 25 Ft – Front Load Garage 25 Ft 25 Ft 25 Ft 25 Ft Side Setback (min) 10 Ft 7.5 Ft 7.5 Ft 7.5 Ft 7.5 Ft 10 Ft Rear Setback (min) 30 Ft 25 Ft 30 Ft 30 Ft 30 Ft 30 Ft Bldg Height (max) 35 Ft 35 Ft 35 Ft 35 Ft 35 Ft 35 Ft Lot Impervious (max) 50% 55% 50% 50% 50% 50% Adelaide Landing Preliminary Plat/PUD – Narrative 2 The PUD is a tool that will allow flexibility from the R-3 District standards to create a better overall design that preserves and enhances the natural features of the site while introducing a mix of product styles for first time homebuyers, families and empty nesters. Further, it will create much needed connections to open and play spaces for the surrounding community. It is understood that PUDs are reviewed under the expectation that the developer will deliver a higher quality product in exchange for relaxation of the standard Zoning Code. To summarize the above table, flexibility is being requested for minimum lot size, minimum lot width, front, side and rear setbacks as well as maximum lot impervious surface. In response to the evaluation criteria specified in the PUD Zoning Code, the site provides the following in exchange for flexibility: 1. Preservation of the Site’s Natural Features – Of the nearly 60 acres of wetland, 1.34 acres are being impacted; leaving 98 percent untouched. Additionally, trees are being preserved to maintain a buffer in the northeast corner of the site. A couple other pockets of trees are planned to remain in the southern portion of the property, becoming a site amenity. 2. Creation of an Extensive Trail System – Approximately 8,000 lineal feet (1.5 miles) of trails is being created in Adelaide Landing. The pathways provide connections from the surrounding neighborhoods that scenically meander around the ponds and wetlands through the park. In addition to the trails, there will be 13,000 lineal feet (2.5 miles) of sidewalk providing even more pedestrian options. 3. Significant Landscaping – Under the standard zoning ordinance, 2 trees per lot are required or about 638 total trees. The plan contemplates a combination of over 1,400 boulevard, screening and front yard trees. Extensive landscaping is evident along Highway 61 and 130th Street to buffer the rear yards from street traffic. Buffer areas are also planned for the park and in the rear yards of homes adjacent to the existing neighborhoods. 4. Storm Water Reuse System – A storm water reuse system will be implemented to use onsite ponding to irrigate common areas, park areas and all homes’ yards. The system’s pumps and mainline will be owned and maintained by the Master Homeowners Association. Not only does water reuse aid in meeting the site’s infiltration requirements, but also conserves potable water for domestic use. 5. Decrease in the Allowed Density – Under the R-3 Zoning Ordinance, a maximum density of 4 units per acre is allowed. By creating a design that is sensitive to preserving the natural features (wetlands and wooded areas), less density is achieved. Adelaide Landing plans for nearly half the allowed density at 2.2 units per acre. 6. Architectural Design Guidelines – Architectural Guidelines will ensure aesthetically pleasing homes that will complement each other, yet celebrate a variety architectural styles. HOUSING & SETBACKS The variety of lot sizes allow for a variety of home styles to meet the needs of many different buyers. The 45’ wide lots are planned for Villas which offer main level living with association maintained grounds mostly geared toward empty nesters. Single family lots with widths of 65, 70 and 85 feet are suitable for a variety of traditional single family home sizes to meet a variety of price points. The smaller 50-foot wide lots are ideal for smaller homes geared toward first time homebuyers. In all, there will be about five different home series. The accompanying elevations (Attachment A) Adelaide Landing Preliminary Plat/PUD – Narrative 3 generally depict the housing styles for the neighborhood. Additionally, Architectural Guidelines will provide a framework for builders to follow while allowing flexibility and variety. Setbacks for the 50-, 65- and 70-foot lots are proposed to be consistent between product types. This includes setbacks of 25-foot front, 7 ½-foot sides and 30-foot rear. The larger 85-foot lots will have similar front and rear setbacks with 10-foot side setbacks. The Villas are proposed to have front setbacks of 25 feet for front loaded garages and 20 feet for side loaded garages. Side setbacks are shown at 7 ½ feet on either side. STREETS, SIDEWALKS & LANDSCAPING There are number of access points to the site, which also creates connections to the surrounding community. The curved tree-lined streets will help to calm traffic in this pedestrian friendly neighborhood. The street design allows for many of the homes to not directly back another home creating many premium lots with wetland, open space or park views. Sidewalks are evident throughout and located on one side of the street creating a truly walkable neighborhood. Trails provide the much needed connections from the surrounding area leading around the ponds and wetlands to the public park. While the site is generally open, there are a few stands of trees intended to be preserved. Most notably, the center entrance along 130th Street. This centrally located entrance creates a front door effect to the neighborhood with a large monument and public trail leading directly to the park. Near the Villas, the trees create a private green which becomes the focal point of this sub-neighborhood. Other existing treed areas will be preserved to the extent possible. Extensive landscaping is planned along 130th Street and Highway 61 creating rear yard buffers. The large monument at the main entrance will create identity for the neighborhood as will other features throughout, including the public park, enhanced trail system and pocket green spaces. STREETLIGHTS The streetlight style will be the Vernon Fixture offered by Xcel Energy (see below). Proposed locations are shown on the Preliminary Plat. EASEMENTS The site is intersected by 2 easements: gas line and overhead powerline. Both Koch and Xcel are in the process of reviewing plans to respond to site planning and permitting near the easement areas. Adelaide Landing Preliminary Plat/PUD – Narrative 4 WETLANDS A wetland delineation has been completed and approved for the site. Of the 58 acres of existing wetlands, only 1.34 acres are impacted by development. The impacts are generally due to street alignments and connections. In all, 98 percent of the wetlands are preserved creating vista views and spaces for trails to meander through; a true amenity that will be further enhanced with site development. Impacted wetlands will be mitigated by purchasing credits from an approved wetland bank. The existing ditch through the site will be enhanced to become a site amenity, similar to a small creek or brook. It will be cleaned out and include a trail that runs parallel to it. Pockets of landscaping will be evident along the path. PONDING Due to the high groundwater levels, the site needs to be raised. As a result, deep ponds will be created to not only generate material to raise the building sites, but to also manage storm water. Additionally, the ponds will be used for irrigation to meet water reuse and infiltration requirements. Approval is being requested to use the adjacent city-owned Outlot A, Country Ponds for ponding. Ponding will enhance the outlot’s existing condition as well as create a more seamless transition between the properties. In exchange, a trail will be constructed between the pond and wetland which will be part of the neighborhood’s public trail system. As shown in the Typical Pond Cross Section of the Preliminary Plat, a 15’ buffer is proposed off the adjacent property lines with a 10’ bench from HWL. Overstory trees are disbursed along the pond to create a break from the existing homes without impeding water & wetland views. The floodplain boundary is depicted on the Preliminary Plat as agreed upon between the engineers for both City & Developer. Ultimately, the floodplain elevations will need FEMA approval by way of a LOMR. This will occur once grading activities are completed and elevations can be certified. PARKS & TRAILS In all, the site proposes a combined area in excess of 100 acres for park, open space, ponding, wetland buffer and wooded area. The extensive trail system not only leads to the centrally located park, but also meanders around wetlands and ponds, providing a greater connection with the natural environment. Boardwalks further serve to protect the existing wetlands. Approval is being requesting for the adjacent city-owned outlot to be incorporated into the engineered site design. The outlot will be used for ponding, which will also enhance the existing wetland. In exchange, a trail will meander through the outlot between the pond and wetland to offer greater connectivity to the adjacent public park. It is understood that park dedication for new development can be achieved in one of two ways: land dedication (10% of net developable area) or a fee in lieu of land ($2,400 per unit). With a net developable area of 146.2 acres, 14.6 acres of park land dedication is required. Per the attached Park Exhibit, the total outlot area dedicated for park or public use is 35 acres. This encompasses wetland, Adelaide Landing Preliminary Plat/PUD – Narrative 5 ponding and trails which will offer a unique experience with not only opportunities for active play, but also connections to the natural environment. Of this larger parcel, 7.8 acres will be specifically dedicated for park land credit or approximately 53% of the City requirement. Therefore, the remaining requirement will be paid in cash: 47% of $2,400 or $1,128 per unit. With 312 units in the neighborhood, the total cash dedication would be $351,936. Under the PUD Zoning Code, flexibility is being requested for reduced road widths, setbacks and lot sizing to create a neighborhood with an enhanced overall design. In exchange for flexibility from the standard R-3 zoning ordinance, wetlands and wooded areas are preserved, a variety of housing styles are created and landscaping standards are exceeded. Most notably related to Parks is the extensive trail system; 8,000 lineal feet (1.5 miles) of trails and boardwalks are proposed to be constructed throughout the neighborhood.

South of powerline – 2018 North of powerline to Street 2 – 2019 Given the site’s history of ownership, it is requested that the park be named in memory of Arthur Arcand. SNOWMOBILE TRAIL It is understood that there is an existing snow mobile trail within the powerline easement that turns south over the proposed 85-foot lots. In the future, the trail can continue to be used within the powerline easement, only. Due to future home locations, a north/south trail will not be permissible/possible. HOMEOWNERS ASSOCIATION The overall site will be governed by a master homeowners’ association with 3 individual sub- associations professionally managed by Master HOA. The Master Association will be responsible for a number of amenities that benefit the neighborhood as a whole, mainly the water reuse mainline system and pumps. Additionally, the Master will be responsible for maintaining the Neighborhood entrance monument and landscaping features, specifically the buffer plantings along 130th St. Villas HOA. The Villas will be responsible for summer & winter grounds maintenance for each unit, including irrigation, mowing and snow removal. Additionally, they will own and maintain Outlots E and F as well as maintain the island plantings in Street 6 as shown on Preliminary Plat. Single Family HOA (65’, 70’, 85’). This Single Family HOA will mainly be responsible for architectural control of the homes located on their respective lots. The HOA will likely contract for a single trash hauler, as well. Single Family HOA (50’). This sub-neighborhood consists of the small single family lots located in the northwest corner of the site. Not only will they be responsible for architectural control of the homes, but also trash hauling and maintenance of the island located in Street 13 of the Preliminary Plat. CONSTRUCTION SCHEDULE Upon EAW, Wetland Replacement, Preliminary Plat & PUD approvals, the south portion of the site is anticipated to be graded in May 2017 followed by street and utility construction for the 1st phase area. Lot delivery is planned for September 2017. Subsequent phasing will be dependent on market demand and conditions, but anticipated to occur over the next 5 years.

General dedication standards. In order to develop a system of parks within the community to serve the public's health and recreational needs, a percentage of the net buildable acreage based on the density of all land subdivided for residential purposes shall be dedicated to the city as public parkland. The city finds that the more dense a development is, the more demand for park land it creates since lots can be smaller affording less private recreational space and more occupants per acre. The following formula will be used to determine the dedication requirement where a land dedication is required: Density Percentage of Land to be Dedicated (of the buildable land) 0—3.99 units per acre 10 percent 4.00—5.99 units per acre 11 percent 6.00—7.99 units per acre 13 percent 8.00—9.99 units per acre 15 percent 10.00 < units per acre 17 percent The land so dedicated shall be subject to approval by the city council in accordance with the city's Comprehensive Plan for parks. At the city council's discretion, a parkland dedication fee may be accepted or required instead of or connection with land dedication. The parkland dedication fee shall be set annually by the city council and adopted as part of the city's fee schedule. The parkland dedication fee shall be charged for each dwelling unit originated by the subdivision or development of any property in the city, not including any dwelling unit that may be in existence at the time of the adoption of the ordinance from which this article is derived, or which is subject to an approved development agreement with the city that includes a parkland dedication provision. Appeal process. The parkland dedication fee may be appealed to the city council before the city council makes a decision on the final plat and shall be calculated as follows: The percentage of land to be dedicated will be multiplied by the fair market value of the net buildable acreage. The fair market value shall be determined by the city council, following their review of a current appraisal submitted to the city at the developer's expense. The appraisal shall be made by appraisers who are approved members of the SREA or MAI, or equivalent real estate appraisal societies. If the city receives written notice of a dispute over the parkland dedication fee before approval of the final plat, the developer shall pay the fee into an escrow account pending a decision of an appeal of the fee. If an appeal is not filed within 60 days following approval of the final plat, or if the person aggrieved by the fee does not prevail on the appeal, then the funds paid into escrow must be transferred to the city.

Request for a sketch plan review for the “South Arcand property” for a development called Terre De L’eau consisting of 296 residential lots on 197.5 acres east of Highway 61 and north of 130th Street DATE: June 29, 2016 for the Parks Commission meeting of July 13, 2016 1. INTRODUCTION: A sketch plan application has been received from the Excelsior Group. The applicant is looking for informal comments from the Parks Commission prior to submitting a formal application. A recommendation from the Parks Commission is not needed at this time. 2. DESCRIPTION OF REQUEST: The applicant is requesting review and comments on a sketch plan for 296 residential lots on 197.5 acres. The gross density of the project is 1.5 units per acre and the net density is 2.5. The property is zoned Single Family Detached Residential (R-3). The properties to the north, south and east are zoned R-3 and are occupied by townhomes and single family homes. The property to the west, across Highway 61, is occupied by industrial uses. The applicant will be requesting a rezoning from R-3 to PUD. The developer is requesting a PUD to allow development flexibility for lot width, lot size, and setbacks. In exchange for this flexibility, the city expects a higher level of design and amenities within a project. The applicant has indicated that they will provide landscaped streets, decorative lighting, trails, a public park and stormwater reuse system to irrigate the park and home sites. The applicant is proposing a variety of lot widths and product types. They range from villas on 45’ wide lots to single family homes on 90’ wide lots. - 2 - Excelsior Group July 13, 2016 There will be a need for a traffic analysis so that the intersections and roadways can be evaluated in light of the anticipated increase in traffic. The developer may be responsible for the recommended upgrade of 130th Street to an urban-section collector between Highway 61 and Goodview Avenue as outlined in the City’s long-range plans. The Planning Commission and City Council will evaluate the street and access plans. The property has some significant stands of trees and has 35 acres of wetlands. The applicant is showing landscaping and tree-lined buffers between the development and Highway 61 and existing developments. A more detailed landscaping plan will be required with the Preliminary Plat. 3. CONSISTENCY WITH COMPREHENSIVE PLAN: Trails The applicant is showing a trail system that connects the residential areas to the park, as well as to the adjacent neighborhoods and other nearby parks. The trail system is shown to provide a recreational experience that takes advantage of the view sheds of the natural areas. A connection to the existing trail along Flay Avenue North in Beaver Ponds is shown. This connection is shown to be made at the entrances of the developments along 130th Street. An additional trail connection to 130th Street is shown at the second entrance to the development. A trail is shown along the north side of 130th Street in the City’s Trails Plan. This should be shown on the plans and completed with reconstruction of 130th Street. This would provide connections to the future extension of the Hardwood Creek Regional Trail and future trail along Goodview Avenue. Sidewalks shall supplement the connections provided by the proposed trail system. Sidewalks along City streets are required in developments with lot widths less than 80 feet. This would include a sidewalk along the primary north-south road in the development that is recommended to connect to the proposed trail network. Sidewalks are also required in the villa and detached town home areas. It is recommended that these be constructed to connect to the proposed trails and provide walking loops. Open Spaces/Parks The Parks, Trails, and Open Space Plan shows a strong immediate need for a park in this area. This property is in Neighborhood Park Service Area 4 which includes the Birch Tree Ponds, Country Ponds and Pineview Meadows developments. A park is not currently available to residents in this service area without crossing a collector street. The applicant is showing an active park that is centrally located in Neighborhood Park Service Area 4. The park is connected to the passive park areas, extensive trail system, and the existing residential developments. - 3 - Excelsior Group July 13, 2016 The applicant is showing the large active park area may include: pickleball courts, ½ court basketball, play equipment (tot lot, independent play, and swings), park shelter, 30 parking stalls, sand volleyball, open play area, and a soccer field. A potential playfield is also shown. It is unclear what would be included in the playfield and it seems disconnected from the rest of the active park area. The applicant may consider relocating the playfield area to be accessible from the active park area in order to be considered for parkland dedication. It is recommended that the soccer field, potential playfield, and other active play areas be accessible from the parking areas. 3. CITY OWNED PROPERTY The City owns 18-acres of land, consisting of some wetlands, on the west side of the site, which is adjacent to the parkland. The applicant is proposing to use a portion of the property for needed stormwater ponds. They are also proposing to construct a trail on the property to make it useful as a passive park area. The City-owned outlot is not included in the park dedication calculation. 4. PARK DEDICATION REQUIREMENTS: The developer is required to dedicate land, pay a fee, or a combination of land and fee. The park dedication section of the City Code requires the applicant dedicate 10% of the developable acres for park land with a density of up to 3.99 units per acre. The current park dedication fee is $2,400 per unit. At this time, the developer has indicated that they would be dedicating a combination of land and fee. In addition, they are also proposing to make improvements to the active park area. The applicant has indicated that there are 121 acres of developable land and a density of 2.5 units per acre. Therefore, they would be required to dedicate 12.1 acres of park land. The applicant is showing (per a revised park land calculation) 10.2 acres of park land, excluding wetlands and easements. In this case, the applicant would have 1.9 acres remaining to meet the required land dedication or 15.7% of the requirement. A fee could be considered by the Park Commission for the remaining 15.7% of the park dedication requirement. The applicant shall pay the fee that is in effect at the time of final plat. Currently, the fee is $2,400. Therefore, the remaining dedication would be $111,533. (296 units * 15.7% * $2,400) 5. CONCLUSION: No formal action is required at this time. - 4 - Excelsior Group July 13, 2016 6. DISCUSSION: The developer is requesting informal comments on the concept plan. The Parks Commission should discuss the concept and provide input on the following: Proposed Trail System:  Trail along 130th Street  Layout of the recreational trail through the passive park areas  Sidewalk connections  Connections to the existing neighborhood/ active park access Park Concept:  Proposal to build active and passive park areas in addition to fulfilling park dedication requirements.  Combination of amenities preferred in the active park area. They are showing pickleball courts, ½ court basketball, play equipment (tot lot, independent play, and swings), park shelter, potential play field, sand volleyball, open play area, and a soccer field.  Size of the park in relation to the size of the neighborhood  Parking  Connectivity to neighborhoods  Location  Use of city-owned land Park Dedication Proposal: 10.2 acres of land + $111,533 in park dedication fees ATTACHMENTS: 1.

City of Hugo Neighborhood Park Service Areas Map TERRE DE VEAU Hugo, Minnesota PROJECT NARRATIVE June 13, 2016 Nestled among wetlands, Terre De L'Eau demonstrates an appreciation for the natural environment. Preservation of the wetland system enhances connections with nature. The extensive trail system meanders organically throughout the site allowing one to appreciate the open views and wildlife. Both street and trail connections are created to neighbors, to nature and to the surrounding community. Trails lead to the centrally located park which is a gathering space for families to picnic, kids to play or individuals to simply enjoy nature. Curved streets follow the edges of wetlands and ponds to create a design where a majority of the homes back to open space. A variety of lot sizes craft a community for those at different life stages and income levels. Home styles will attract first time homebuyers, families with children as well as empty nesters. LOCATION The site is located at the northeast intersection of CSAH 61 and 130" Street North. GENERAL DESCRIPTION OF REQUEST Prior to preparing the Preliminary Plat, a Sketch Plan review is requested for this 200-acre Planned Unit Development of nearly 300 housing units with a mix of lot sizes: 45', 50', 65', 70' and go' widths. The PUD is a tool that will allow flexibility from the R-3 District standards to create a better overall design that introduces a mix of product styles for first time homebuyers, families and empty nesters. Further, it will create much needed connections to open and play spaces for the surrounding community. HOUSING The variety of lot sizes allow for a variety of home styles to meet the needs of many different buyers. The 45' wide lots are planned for Villas which offer main level living with association maintained grounds mostly geared toward empty nesters. The 50' wide lots could be similar one level living with grounds maintenance or smaller lots ideally geared toward first time homebuyers. The remaining lot sizes would offer different home styles to meet the needs of buyers at different price points. In all, there will be about five different home series. STREETS. SIDEWALKS & LANDSCAPING There are number of access points to the site, which also creates connections to the surrounding community. The curved tree lined streets will help to calm traffic is this pedestrian friendly neighborhood. The street design allows for many of the homes to not directly back another home creating many premium lots with wetland, open space or park views. While the site is generally open, there are a few stands of trees intended to be preserved. Most notably, the easterly entrance along 130' where the road is split around the trees to create a more dramatic entry. In the Villa (45' lot) area, the trees create a neighborhood green which becomes the focal point of this sub -neighborhood. Other existing treed areas will be reviewed for preservation where possible. TDL Concept - Narrative Landscaping will be reviewed in more detail during the platting process. However, extensive landscaping is planned along 130" Street and Highway 61. A large monument at the main intersection will create identity for the neighborhood as will other features throughout, including an overlook area and pocket green spaces. WETLANDS A wetland delineation has been completed and approved in 2015. Generally, the site layout protects the approximately 70 acres of wetlands. There are a couple smaller incidental wetlands that may be impacted, but the larger ones are amenities creating vista views and spaces for trails to meander through. The existing ditch through the site is intended to be enhanced to become a site amenity, similar to a small creek or brook. PONDING Due to the groundwater levels, the site needs to be raised. As a result, ponds will be created to not only generate material to raise the building sites, but to also manage storm water. Additionally, the ponds will be used for irrigation to meet water reuse and infiltration requirements. PARKS We are requesting the adjacent city outlot be incorporated into the site design. The outlot will be used for ponding and passive open space. This will allow for a more contiguous useable public park, anticipated to be nearly 15 acres with a soccer field, shelter/picnic area and playground. Trails provide connections for the adjacent neighborhoods to access the park. We will work with the City in calculating parkland vs cash dedication. In all, the site proposes nearly 65 acres of park, open space, ponding, wetland buffer and wooded area. CONSTRUCTION SCHEDULE Following Sketch Plan review, the preliminary plat will be advanced along with the Environmental Assessment Worksheet (EAW). The goal is to begin grading the south portion of the site as early as Fall 2016. Utility and street construction for the 1" phase of development would follow in Spring 2017.

The Hugo Parks, Recreation, and Open Space Commission will consider it at their February 1 meeting at Hugo City Hall at 7:00pm. I look forward to hearing more about this project. Thanks, Shayla Denaway Parks Planner City of Hugo 651-762-6342 From: brentsmith6@comcast.net [mailto:brentsmith6@comcast.net] Sent: Thursday, January 26, 2017 6:55 PM To: Shayla Denaway <SDenaway@ci.hugo.mn.us> Cc: brentsmith6 <brentsmith6@comcast.net> Subject: Washington County Pheasants Forever Pollinator Project Hi Shayla, After further discussion with our chapter members, we would be interested in the Irish Ave Park site to do a 3 acre pollinator project. Our plan would be to hopefully start this Spring. We would begin by going in with a tiller on three acres, then spray with herbicide, and then follow with another spray of herbicide. Another approach would be to do a controlled burn with a local fire department or a Pheasants Forever Chapter. The final steps would include scoring the soil, another herbicide treatment, and then using local youth (such as 4H groups, Scouting troops, Science classes, etc.) to plant the seeds and plugs. Our chosen seed mixture and plant plugs are a combination of plants and flowers that will bloom up to three times per season. A couple other requests: One of the requirements for our PF grant approval is that we be allowed to put up some Pheasants Forever signage (upon your approval). Another requirement from Pheasants Forever is that the completed project land stay undisturbed for 5 years. Washington County Pheasants Forever will help maintain the pollinator project land. If this sounds reasonable to you, I will plan to be at your board meeting on Wed. Feb. 1st at 7:00PM. Please let me know your thoughts.
