Associate Planner Frank _Dempsey presented tlie':planrung report. Mr. Dempsey stated that the Kent ,46;,.development included a ghost plat showing three future single family lots within Outlo ,;B. He indicated that the three single family lots in Kenora Ridge meetthe requirements for *size and lot width for the RS -3 District. He indicated that fi1':;will be:,aregizred to construct homes on these three lots due to the topography the"subjec'prope Regarding the tree: preservation plan, Mr. Dempsey indicated that the plan identifies 48 significant _trees "and of those 48 trees, two are dead or damaged and five (three trees on lot 1 and two trees on lot 3) are identified to be saved resulting in a save'ratio of 10.8 %. He stated that a minimum of two trees shall be planted on each lot without at least tyvb save trees. Mr. Dempsey stated that Planning and Engineering Department staff recommend approval of the Kenora Ridge preliminary and final plat subject to the 4 stipulations listed in the February 10, 2012 planning report. Chair Davis opened the hearing to the public for comment. Planning Commission Meeting February 16, 2012 Page 3 Greg Kot, 11280 Kenora Way Mr. Kot had the following concerns: ➢ Why is the preliminary and final plats being considered at the same time? He objects to this. ➢ Tree preservation. He wants to make sure that all the proper paperwork for the tree preservation plan is complete. ➢ Because of the dramatic drops in elevations, a lot ' .of fill will have to be brought in. He would like to know how this dirt ri11 be contained. ➢ Wants to see what the homes are going to look like that will be built on these lots and who the builder will be. Wants to be sure the'quality of the homes are similar to the existing homes in this ,neighborhood. ➢ Will any retaining walls be built? ➢ Will the homes be built as soon as the fill is brought in? He does not want to look at "for sale" signs for years. Scott Alman, 16240 Kenora Court Mr. Alman had the following concerns: ➢ Will any retaining walls_be built ?... > Wants to see the''size and;:style of the homes being built. ➢ Will the builder sell the. °lots first a nd. then take down the trees and build the homes or will he build ,;them as spec homes and then try to sell them? Therese Mars 6338 Keii:t Trail Ms. :Marshik stated ; - :that she , built the first home in the Kenwood Oaks Development. She id=entified problems that occurred in the past with the constructi* homes in the Kenwood Oaks development as well as with the development;of Kent 46:She had the following additional concerns: ➢ Wants to be sure that the City watches the builders at all times to be sure that mistakes that occurred previously won't happen again, such as wrongful tree removal and fill placed in the wrong location. ➢ Because of the amount of fill that is proposed to be brought in, she suggested that retaining walls be built prior to the fill being brought in. She feels that the builder will be more careful where the fill goes if the retaining walls are already in. In addition, this will help protect the trees located behind the retaining walls. ➢ Would like the storm water drainage situation addressed so that fill does not end up in Lee Lake and so no more basements get flooded. Planning Commission Meeting February 16, 2012 Page 4 ➢ Wants the values of the proposed homes to be comparable to the values of the current homes in the Kenwood Oaks development. Commissioner Lillehei read the 4 stipulations that are listed in the February 10, 2012 planning report. 12.09 Motion was made and seconded to close the public hearing at 6:43 p.m. Ayes: Lillehei, Davis, Blee, Grenz, Boerschel, Maguire. Nays: 0 Abstain: Drotning Chair Davis asked staff to address the public comments. Mr. Dempsey stated that the tree preservation plan was prepar by a forester. There are a lot of trees that are less than six inches in diameter on this property that are not listed on the plan because they are not significant trees. Only the significant trees have been identified on the plan as reginred, : by the Subdivision Ordinance. He indicated that given the amount of fill that 41, be required to make these lots buildable, only the perimeter trees,can-be;saved. Mr. Remus addressed the questions regarding; how.the fill will be contained on the three lots. He indicate& that City staff : will inspect' the property prior to the developer importing any fill material. MRemus was not sure if the fill would be brought in on a lot by lot basis:Jor if they bring it in all at once. As far as retaining walls, there is only,one small retaining wall proposed and that would be adjacent to 11!Ir. Ahlman's property''''stikt,46 north side of proposed Lot 1. The retaining "`_ivall:is.`.not proposed to contain the fill, but rather to break the grade difference between' the two'properties. Mr. Moray stated that for approximately 15 years it has been City policy to process r. . preliminary and final plats simultaneously, especially in the case of smaller plats with fewer 16 Planning Commission Meeting February 16, 2012 Page 5 Mr. Johnson stated he had not heard that storm water problems have become worse in Kenwood Oaks since Kent 46 was developed. Ms. Marshik was asked to come forward again and explain her perception of the storm water problems. She indicated that there are homes that were not having storm water problems prior to the Kent 46 development that are now getting water seeping up from the ground. A control unit was put into the pond on Outlot A to help control the storm water, but that did not alleviate the problem. Chair Davis stated that the Planning Commission is an advisory board to the City Council and their job is to determine if a plat is consistent with the Zoning and Planning Commission Meeting February 16, 2012 Page 6 Subdivision Ordinances. The issues concerning home values, property taxes, and who the builder is are beyond the Planning Commission's purview. Chair Davis did encourage the neighbors to keep in touch with the developer and builder and the City throughout the process. Regarding the types of homes that are proposed to be built with this development, Mr. Remus indicated that there are no specific plans at this time. Chair Davis asked for comments from the Planning Commission. Discussion points were: • The groundwater issue was discussed. Mr. Johnson indicated that this is the first he's heard of a problem, but he wou id be glad to meet With the residents to discuss the issue further. • The amount of fill being brought iriwas discussed. Mr. Remus,was not sure of the exact amount of fill needed. • It was stated that the proposed homes Must meet Zoning Ordinance requirements. Mr. Morey irdicated that tle'Zoning Ordinance requires the site plan for new single family tome building permits show the location of a three -car garage even if the builder" does not iimtend to build one to ensure that there is enough room on the lot for a three car garage meeting setback requirements.. ' ='`''`'`'' • Mr. Boerschel ,asked about the City requirements for tree preservation. Mr. Dempsey stated that the Subdivision Ordinance requires the developer to identify all significant :Frees ;within the: property boundaries and identify the significant trees that will be' ' saii6 �:_ City staff reviews the tree preservation plan a delermme if additional significant trees can be saved. Discussion regarding t1e„repercussions if significant trees located outside the .''plat boundaries are damaged with the development of the plat. Mr. Johnson stated that tree protection fencing would be installed and inspected by the City:';, - : If there were any trees outside the plat that were damaged by the developer,, it would be settled by the private property owners. If, as in this case, the City, owns the property outside the plat, the City would monitor the development and it would be up to the City to notify the developer /builder of any tree damage on the City's property. Mr. Morey stated that if trees are damaged, two to one tree replacement would be required. • Mr. Johnson indicated that erosion control measures, including silt fencing, is reviewed on a case -by -case situation. • Mr. Dempsey stated that the boundaries of Outlot A are identified by conservation area posts. • Mr. Lillehei indicated that the residents did not have the best experience with the Kenwood Oaks developers. The residents are sensitive to erosion and don't want any more erosion problems caused by the Kenora Way development. It was made clear that the developer must contain all of the soil on his property. • The Planning Commission clarified that the City does not enforce private covenants. • Mr. Remus explained that a typical grading scenario would be for the developer to establish erosion control, clear the trees /brush, then bring in and stabilize the fill at a maximum slope of three to one. Construction of homes on the lots would follow. He stated there is no need for retaining walls because they can achieve three to one slopes at the rear of the three proposed single family lots. • Commissioner Blee asked if the Planning, Commission could encourage the planting of additional trees. Mr. Morey stated the requirement of at least two trees per single family lot. Typically homeowners add landscaping that suits their needs and tastes foli'owing the.. ,completion `of. the house construction activities. Requiring the developer to install additional trees on the lots prior to house construction could-,.be detrimental due to the trees being in the way of construction equipment. 12.10 Motion was made and seconded t o recommend to City,, Council approval of the Kenora Ridge preliminary ; and final plat subject to the following 4 stipulations: 1.

Preliminary and Final Utility Plan I. Tree Preservation Plan J. Final Plat PLANNING ANALYSIS PRELIMINARY AND FINAL PLAT Existing Conditions. The property is a 0.79 acre outlot final platted in 2007 as Outlot B, Kent 46. The property includes topography sloping from west to east in addition to mature overstory deciduous trees. The property lies adjacent to Kenora Way which was constructed in the mid 1990's as part of the Kenwood Oaks development. Sketch Layout of Outlot B. The preliminary plat of Kent 46 included a conceptual sketch layout of the subject property for three single family residential lots. The property at that time was final platted as Outlot B, Kent 46 which requires a separate preliminary and final plat in order to create the proposed three lots. The Kenora Ridge preliminary and final plat are consistent with the Kent 46 preliminary plat sketch plan (Exhibit C). Adjacent Land Uses. North: Single family homes (RS -3 District) South: Outlot A, Kent 46 and single family homes (P /OS District and RS -3 District) East: Outlot A, Kent 46 (P /OS District) West: Kenora Way and single family homes (RS -3 District) Comprehensive Plan. The property is located in Planning District No. 1 of the 2030 Land Use Plan. The property is partly guided Restricted Development. The Restricted Development category of the Comprehensive Plan includes parcels of land for which development of urban uses is limited and may include land with steep slopes, wetlands, permanent open space or publicly owned lands. Zoning. The property is zoned RS -3, Single Family Residential District and is located in the Shoreland Overlay District of Lee Lake. The public hearing notice and a copy of the preliminary and final plat were sent to the Department of Natural Resources as required by the Zoning Ordinance. The DNR has offered no comments to the proposed applications. Density. The gross and net density of the Kenora Ridge preliminary and final plat is 3.79 units per acre consistent with the low density residential designation of the Comprehensive Land Use Plan. MUSA. The Kenora Ridge preliminary and final plat is located within the current Metropolitan Urban Service Area (MUSA). 2 Premature Subdivision Criteria. A preliminary and final plat may be deemed premature if any of the criteria listed in Chapter 10 -2 -4 -1 of the Subdivision Ordinance exist. Eligible criteria pertain to a lack of adequate: drainage, water, streets, sanitary sewer, and public service capacity (police and fire protection). The other pertinent criteria pertain to inconsistencies with the City Comprehensive Land Use and Capital Improvement Plans. Staff review of the Kenora Ridge preliminary and final plat against these criteria finds that it is not a premature subdivision. Lot Requirements. The minimum lot size for a lot in the RS -3, Single Family Residential District is 11,000 square feet with a minimum lot width of 85 feet. The three proposed Tots meet the requirements of the RS -3 District. Setbacks. The proposed Kenora Ridge preliminary and final plat meets the RS -3 District setback requirements, as follows: Front Yard — 30 feet Side Yards — 10 feet Rear Yard — 30 feet Streets. The subject site abuts Kenora Way to the west. Kenora Way is a 32 fppt wide local street. No street improvements are required with the proposed preliminary and final plat. Sidewalk. There is no sidewalk located on Kenora Way. Sidewalk will not be constructed with the Kenora Ridge preliminary and final plat. Grading, Drainage and Utility Plans. The developer has submitted plans for grading, drainage, erosion control and utilities related to development of the three lots. The plans have been reviewed by the Engineering Department and they recommend approval. A copy of the memorandum prepared by Mark Duchene, Development Design Engineer and Mac Cafferty, Environmental Resources Coordinator and dated February 9, 2012 is attached. Tree Preservation. The tree preservation plan identifies 48 significant trees within the preliminary and final plat. Of these 48 significant trees, two are dead or damaged and five are identified to be saved resulting in a save ratio of 10.8 %. The existing topography of the property makes tree preservation challenging given the amount of grading required for the construction of homes on the three lots. A minimum of two trees shall be planted on each lot without at least two save trees. Outlots. There are no outlots included with the Kenora Ridge preliminary and final plat. 3 Park Dedication. No land dedication is identified in the Park and Open Space Plan for this area and no land dedication is proposed with the Kenora Ridge preliminary and final plat. The payment of park dedication for Outlot B, Kent 46 was satisfied with the final plat of Kent 46. The Parks, Recreation and Natural Resources Committee will review the Kenora Ridge preliminary and final plat at their February 15, 2012 meeting. Their comments will be forwarded to the Planning Commission at the public hearing.

Wastewater will be conveyed via existing trunk sanitary sewer to the MCES Lakeville /Farmington Interceptor and continue to the Empire Wastewater Treatment Facility. The downstream facilities have sufficient capacity to serve the proposed residential subdivision. Development of Kenora Ridge includes the relocation of sanitary sewer services that were constructed with the adjacent Kenwood Oaks subdivision to accommodate the Kenora Ridge plat. KENORA RIDGE FEBRUARY 9, 2012 PAGE 3 OF 6 The proposed sanitary sewer layout is in accordance with the City's Comprehensive Sanitary Sewer Plan. Final locations and sizes of all sanitary sewer will be reviewed by City Staff with the final construction plans. The trunk sanitary sewer area charge was previously assessed and is closed. WATERMAIN The proposed watermain layout is in accordance with the City's Comprehensive Water Plan. Final locations and sizes of all watermain facilities will be reviewed by City Staff with the final construction plans. DRAINAGE AND GRADING Kenora Ridge is located within subdistrict CL -12 of the Crystal Lake drainage district as identified in the City's Water Resources Management Plan. Runoff from Kenora Ridge will flow overland to the existing wetland and into the stormwater basin located at the southeast corner of the site, which was constructed as part of the Kent 46 development. The stormwater basin was designed to treat the runoff from Kenora Ridge. The final grading plan must identify all fill lots in which the building footings will be placed on fill material. The grading specifications must also indicate that all embankments meet FHA /HUD 79G specifications. The developer must certify to the City that all lots with footings placed on fill material are appropriately constructed. Building permits for Kenora Ridge shall not be issued until a certified grading plan has been submitted and approved. RETAINING WALLS Development of Kenora Ridge includes the construction of one boulder retaining wall. The wall will be located within Lot 1, Block 1, outside the established drainage and utility easement, and will be privately -owned and maintained by the homeowner.
