BELLANTE PLANNED UNIT DEVELOPMENT AMENDMENT
FEBRUARY 19, 2013 CITY COUNCIL MEETING
Proposed Action
Staff recommends adoption of the following motion: Move to approve an ordinance amending the
Planned Unit Development for Bellante (Ordinance No. 782) and adopt the findings of fact.
Adoption of this motion will allow a reduced front yard setback for the two -unit townhome building
to be constructed on Lots 15 and 16, Block 1, Bellante.
Overview
William Feldman, representing the Bellante townhome development, is requesting approval of a Planned
Unit Development (PUD) Amendment to allow a reduced setback for a two unit townhome building
proposed for construction at 18248 and 18250 Justice Way. Bellante is an 86 unit townhome
development located north of 185' Street (CSAH 60) and east of Judicial Road. The proposed reduced
building setback to the private drive is a result of the developer's placement of a public sanitary sewer
line too close to the lot lines for Lots 15 and 16, Block 1, Bellante. The developer is requesting flexibility in
the setback requirement only for this two -unit building within the Bellante PUD in order to obtain a
minimum of five feet of separation between the existing sanitary sewer line and the proposed townhome
building footing.
The Planning Commission held a public hearing on the PUD Amendment request at their February 7,
2013 meeting and recommended approval on a 4 -1 vote. There was no public comment at the meeting.
Primary Issue to Consider
What options were considered by the applicant to obtain a five foot separation between the building
foundation and the sanitary sewer line for maintenance purposes, the minimum setback recommended by
staff.

Notes:
Primary Issues to Consider
Staff and the developer explored three options that would have made the PUD amendment
unnecessary including reducing the depth of the townhome building, constructing the twinhome
with a cantilever design to place the rear foundation further from the sanitary sewer line, and
relocating the sanitary sewer line to the east. Relocating the sanitary sewer line would include the
cost associated with installing the new pipe, including 3 -4 new manholes, as well as the long
range additional City costs associated with maintaining the additional manholes.

Planning Commission Meeting Minutes, February 7, 2013 Page 2
Planning Director Daryl Morey presented the planning report. Mr. Morey stated that
William Feldman, representing the Bellante townhome development, has submitted
an application for a Planned Unit Development (PUD) amendment to allow a
reduced front setback for a proposed two unit townhome building from the back of
curb of the existing private drive. The developer is requesting flexibility in the
setback requirement only for this two -unit building within the Bellante PUD in order
to obtain a minimum of five feet of separation between the existing sanitary sewer
line to the east and the proposed townhome building footings.
Mr. Morey stated that the proposed reduced building setback to the private drive is a
result of the public sanitary sewer line within Lot 17, Block 1, Bellante being placed
too close to the east (rear) lot lines for Lots 15 and 16, Block 1, Bellante. Mr. Morey
indicated that staff and the developer looked at three options that would have made
the PUD amendment unnecessary including reducing the depth of the townhome
building, constructing the twinhome with a cantilever design to place the rear
foundation further from the sanitary sewer line, and relocating the sanitary sewer line
to the east. Relocating the sanitary sewer line would include the cost associated
with installing the new pipe, including 3 -4 new manholes, as well as the long range
additional City costs associated with maintaining the additional manholes.
Mr. Morey stated that the proposed amendment is consistent with the Bellante PUD
and findings of fact have been provided for the Planning Commission's
consideration. Staff recommends approval of the PUD amendment subject to the
one stipulation listed in the February 1, 2013 planning report.
Chair Lillehei opened the hearing to the public for comment.
There were no comments from the audience.
Motion was made by Blee, seconded by Reuvers to close the public hearing at
6:11 p.m.
Ayes: Reuvers, Maguire, Lillehei, Grenz, Blee.
Nays: 0
Chair Lillehei asked for comments from the Planning Commission. Discussion
points were:
• Commissioner Grenz questioned whether the sanitary sewer pipe was right next
to the property line. Mr. Morey identified the location of the sanitary sewer pipe
as shown on Exhibit E of the February 1, 2013 planning report approximately one
foot east of the rear lot line for Lot 16. He stated that Operations and
Maintenance staff have indicated that they could perform maintenance on the
sanitary sewer line on the east side of the pipe within Lot 17, which is owned by
the City.

• The remaining members of the Planning Commission agreed that this request is
a reasonable solution that is consistent with the original Bellante PUD, and noted
that the City has not received any negative comments from neighbors regarding
the PUD amendment.
Motion was made by Maguire, seconded by Reuvers to recommend to City
Council approval of the Bellante Planned Unit Development Amendment, subject to
the following stipulation:
1. The townhome building to be constructed on Lots 15 and 16, Block 1, Bellante,

Subject: Proposed Amendment to Belante PUD
We support the proposed amendment to the Bellante PUD. On Jan 18 we received an e-mail from Bill
Feldman, forwarded by Paul Roth (of the firm that manages the PUD), to all residents of the development
explaining the proposed amendment. I doubt anyone sees an issue in reducing the setback of the building in
question (18248 &50 Justice Way) to 27 feet.
I had planned to attend the meeting in person to voice our support, but a scheduling conflict on our end has
arisen, requiring our support to be voiced in this manner.

Agenda Item: Bellante Planned Unit Development Amendment
Application Action Deadline: March 15, 2013
BACKGROUND
William Feldman, representing the Bellante townhome development has submitted an
application for a Planned Unit Development (PUD) Amendment to allow a reduced setback
for a two unit townhome building proposed for construction at 18248 and 18250 Justice Way.
Bellante is an 86 unit townhome development located north of 185th Street (CSAH 60) and
east of Judicial Road. The proposed reduced building setback to the private drive is a result of
the developer's placement of a public sanitary sewer line near the proposed building pads for
Lots 15 and 16, Block 1, Bellante First Addition. The developer is requesting flexibility in the
setback requirement only for this two -unit building within the Bellante PUD in order to obtain
a minimum of five feet of separation between the existing sanitary sewer line and the
proposed townhome building footing.

STAFF ANALYSIS
The Bellante preliminary plat was approved in 2005 for 94 townhome unit lots. The property
was rezoned to PUD, Planned Unit Development to allow flexibility in the number of
townhome units with access off private drives. Subsequent re -plats resulted reduction of the
number of units within the development in 2006 (3 units), 2007 (2 units) and 2012 (3 units) for
an overall full development total of 86 units.
The existing public sanitary sewer line was constructed closer to the rear (east) unit lot line of
Lot 16 than was identified on the approved construction plans. Staff and the developer
investigated options that would have made the PUD amendment unnecessary including
reducing the depth of the townhome building, constructing the building on Lot 16 with a
cantilever design to place the foundation further from the sanitary sewer line and, relocating
the sanitary sewer line to the east. Mr. Feldman's engineer prepared an analysis of these
options (see Exhibit Q.
Setbacks. The two -unit townhouse building will be constructed entirely within the unit lots.
The front (garage) portions of the townhome units constructed on Lots 15 and 16 will be
setback 27.16 feet and 27.0 feet respectively from the back of the curb at the private drive (see
Exhibit Q. A 30 foot building setback is required by the Zoning Ordinance.
Access. Access to the garage for the townhouse on Lot 16 will be as originally planned with a
driveway onto Justice Way. The driveway for the townhouse on Lot 15 will be from the private
drive as shown on the survey.
On -Site Parking. The proposed amendment will not reduce the amount of available driveway
parking nor will it result in vehicles encroaching into the private drive.
HOA Notification. Mr. Feldman sent all members of the Bellante homeowners association
(HOA) a letter (see Exhibit D) informing them of this PUD amendment application and including
his engineer's analysis of options.
Engineering Division Review. The Public Works Department - Engineering Division has
reviewed the application and the plans for the proposed new townhome building. The
Engineering Division supports the planned unit development amendment and the minimum
five foot separation of the building foundation to the public sanitary sewer.
Findings of Fact. A Planned Unit Development Amendment requires the approval of fndings of
fact in consideration of the proposed amendment. Draft findings of fact are attached for your
review.

RECOMMENDATION
The proposed amendment is consistent with the Bellante Planned Unit Development. Staff
recommends approval of the Planned Unit Development Amendment subject to the following
stipulation:
1. The townhome building to be constructed on Lots 15 and 16, Block 1, Bel lante, shall be
constructed in the location shown on the Certificate of Survey prepared by Rehder and
Associates, revised January 10, 2013.

PUD AMENDMENT NARRATIVE
Lots 15 & 16, Block 1, Bellante First Addition
Lakeville, Minnesota
Summary
The first addition of Bellante was platted in 2005 as part of an approved PUD. One of the
stipulations of that PUD was that the units that fronted private drives would have front
setbacks of 30 -feet from the back of curb as required by the Zoning Ordinance. This setback
was established to maintain adequate off - street parking for each unit.
While preparing a building permit survey for Lots 15 & 16, Block 1, Bellante 1 St Addition for the
construction of a new attached townhome, it was discovered that the sanitary sewer manhole
(MH 103) in Justice Way, adjacent to the lots in question had been installed approximately 5-
feet farther to the west than shown on the plan. As a result, the sanitary sewer line running
behind Lots 15 & 16 was now approximately 5 -feet closer to the back edge of the lots than had
been originally planned. This means that three footings (holding up an above grade sunroom
and deck) proposed for the back of the unit on Lot 16 would be approximately 1.5 -feet from the
buried pipe, which would be too close for access for any future maintenance.
At this point, at the developer's direction, Rehder & Assoicates contacted the City of Lakeville's
Public Works Department to apprise them of the situation and pursue possible solutions.
Possible Solutions
Starting with a meeting at the City and further inner -office discussions and conference calls, the
following possible solutions were considered:
1) Hold the front setback at 30 -feet, but reduce the total depth of the unit to provide the
necessary separation between the footing and the pipe
2) Realign the portion of the sanitary sewer line located directly behind the two lots to the
east by installing two or more manholes and relaying the pipe as necessary to provide the
necessary separation between the footing and the pipe

3) Relocate the three footings behind the Lot 16 unit by cantilevering the sunroom and deck
approximately 3- to 4 -feet to provide the necessary separation between the footing and the
pipe of 4.5 -feet
4) Apply for a PUD amendment through the city process to reduce the 30 -foot setback of the
townhome building from the back of curb and slide the entire unit to the west to provide
the necessary separation between the footing and the pipe
In consultation with the developer and builder, option 1) was eliminated because the future
homeowner of Lot 16 was not willing to reduce the depth (square footage) of his proposed
townhouse to accommodate the necessary separation.
Option 2) was rejected by the City's public works staff because it would have included
installation of additional manholes and, likely, higher future maintenance costs.
Option 3) was thoroughly reviewed by the builder and future homeowner of Lot 16 and was
ultimately rejected because the aesthetics of the cantilever were not good and the cantilever
was not in keeping with all of the other units in the development.
That left option 4) as the only remaining solution, which we are pursuing with this request.
Selected Solution
To provide the necessary separation between the footings and the pipe, it will be necessary to
encroach into the PUD stipulated setback by just under 3.0 -feet at each garage corner. The
driveway for Lot 16 connects directly south to Justice Way and therefore is not affected by
sliding the unit to the west. The driveway for Lot 15 does connect to the private drive and,
because of the geometrics of the drive and the garage, still provides 28- to 29 -feet between the
back of curb and the face of the garage.

From: Bill Feldman, WestStar Properties Inc. (developer of Bellante)
Date: January 18, 2013
Subject: Planned Unit Development (PUD) Amendment
To resolve a problem related to the layout of one of Bellante's new twin homes I am proposing an
amendment to the city PUD agreement that governs the overall layout of the development. The
amendment would reduce the front setback for one twin home building (18248 -50 Justice Way) from
thirty feet to just under twenty -seven feet. The amendment will apply to the building located at 1248 -50
Justice Way only. The change is needed to allow adequate clearance for a previously installed sanitary
sewer line located behind the subject twin home building that was installed in the wrong position. City
staff and I considered four options to resolving this issue and determined the setback amendment was
the best choice. One of the homes in question has already been sold, and the wishes of the future
owner were considered.
City process requires a public meeting be held to allow citizens the opportunity to comment on the
proposed amendment. The city will mail meeting notices to owners of property located within 500 feet
of 18248 -50 Justice Way sometime next week. In the mean time, the city suggested I notify residents of
the proposed amendment. Please review the enclosed information. If you have any questions or
concerns I invite you to contact me at 612 - 961 -1294.
