SPIRIT OF BRANDTJEN FARM 16TH ADDITION
PRELIMINARY PLAT
Proposed Action
Staff recommends adoption of the following motion: Move to approve a resolution approving the Spirit
of Brandtjen Farm 16th Addition preliminary plat.
Overview
Tradition Development (a/k/a SBF Development Corp.) representatives are requesting approval of the
SBF 16th Addition preliminary plat of 49 single family lots and 36 detached townhome lots for the next
development phase of the SBF PUD approved in 2005. SBF 16th Addition is located south of 162nd Street
and the new Hy-Vee grocery store, and west of Eagleview Drive.
The Planning Commission held a public hearing on the SBF 16th Addition preliminary plat and public
street right-of-way and drainage and utility easement vacation at their April 7, 2016 meeting and
unanimously recommended approval. There was no public comment. The Parks, Recreation and Natural
Resources Committee unanimously recommended approval of the preliminary plat at their April 6, 2016
meeting.
Primary Issues to Consider
• Why is the right-of-way and easement vacation not being considered by the City Council in
conjunction with the preliminary plat?
The resolution vacating the public street right-of-way and drainage and utility easements will be
considered by the City Council in conjunction with the SBF 16th Addition final plat.

RE: Lakeville – SBF; 16th Addition
TPC FILE: 135.01
BACKGROUND
SBF Development Corporation has submitted plans for Spirit of Brandtjen Farm 16th Addition.
The application involves platting a portion of Spirit of Brandtjen Farm located south of 162nd
Street and west of Eagle View Drive with 49 single family lots, 36 detached townhomes, three
common area lots and three outlots. The applications to be considered with the request
include a PUD Development Stage Plan, Preliminary Plat, and Right-of-Way/Easement Vacation.
The subject site is zoned PUD, Planned Unit Development District as approved by the City
Council on 20 June 2005. The Planning Commission will hold a public hearing to consider the
applications at their meeting on 7 April 2016.

ANALYSIS
SBF Land Use. The SBF Land Use Plan (Page 3.4 of the SBF PUD Booklet) designates the area to
be developed for High Density Residential land uses. Based on the maximum allowed
development density established by the PUD District, the following calculation is made for the
number of potential dwelling units within the gross area of the preliminary plat: High Density =
29.16ac. x 12du/ac. = 349du. The 88 dwellings within the proposed SBF 16th Addition will be
deducted from the total of 2,109 dwelling units allowed for the entire SBF PUD District. The
remaining dwelling units not utilized within SBF 16th Addition may potentially be developed
elsewhere within SBF.
The SBF Master Site Plan (Page 3.5 of the SBF PUD Booklet) illustrates development of multiple
family residential dwellings in the area of SBF 16th Addition. The proposed preliminary plat
includes 49 single family lots and 36 detached townhouse dwellings. While lower in density
than that guided by the SBF Master Site Plan, the proposed land uses maintain the minimum of
3.0 dwelling units per acre of density required by the Metropolitan Council for the City’s overall
2030 Land Use Plan. Inclusion of the 36 detached townhomes is positive to add alternative
housing to single family dwellings within SBF and the City’s overall housing stock. The SBF PUD
allows flexibility in housing types based upon market demands.
Surrounding Land Use. The subject site is surrounded by the following land uses:
Direction Land Use Plan Zoning Existing Use
North Commercial
Office/Residential
PUD Commercial
Undeveloped
East High Density Residential PUD Undeveloped
South Park
High Density Residential
P/OS
PUD
East Community Park
Single Family
West Public/Quasi-Public
High Density Residential
P/OS
PUD
Cemetery
Single Family
The proposed detached townhouses provide a desirable land use transition from the
commercial uses approved on the north side of 162nd Street. The transition between the
proposed detached townhomes and single family lots within SBF 16th Addition occurs at a
desirable location along rear lot lines within Block 2 so that each of the dwelling types are
oriented towards like homes. The detached townhomes and single family lots proposed within
SBF 16th Addition will be compatible with existing and planned uses in the area.
Detached Townhomes. The proposed 36 detached townhomes are to be developed in three
blocks. Each block has more than 7,500 square feet of lot area per dwelling unit exceeding the
requirements for detached townhomes established for such uses in the RST-2 District. The
proposed setbacks for the detached townhomes are consistent with those established for
townhouse uses within areas designated for low to medium density land uses by the PUD
Standards table on page 7.1 of the SBF PUD Booklet. The one exception is that the PUD
Standards specify a minimum 20 foot setback between buildings, whereas the preliminary plat
3
provides 15 feet. In that the City Council on 21 March 2016 approved a Zoning Ordinance
amendment to require a minimum 14 foot setback between detached townhomes within the
RST-2 District, the proposed 15 foot setback between buildings for SBF 16th Addition is
appropriate.
The developer has submitted exterior elevations for the proposed detached townhomes. The
exterior of the buildings will have LP Smartside horizontal lap siding on all four sides of the
structures and asphalt shingles. The front elevations includes stone on three of the four
proposed detached townhouse series, and shake style siding in the roof gable elements for
additional architectural detail. The front elevation of the Winthrop series must be revised to
include stone accents. Each dwelling unit is shown to have a two car attached garage that
exceeds the minimum 440 square feet required in conformance with Section 11-58-21.D of the
Zoning Ordinance for townhouse dwellings with basements.
Single Family Lots. The 49 single family lots are proposed with a minimum 60 foot width
consistent with the minimum lot requirement for cottage lots as set forth in Section 7 of the
SBF PUD Booklet, shown in the table below:
Min.
Lot
Width
Setbacks

Corner

Door Garage House Garage
60ft. 20ft. 25ft. 15ft. 7ft. 15ft 25ft 15ft 20ft. 10ft.
Setbacks indicated on the preliminary plat are also consistent with those required for cottage
lots and provide a usable building envelope for each lot. Development of these lots being all
cottage lots is acceptable given the SBF Land Use Plan designation for the subject site as High
Density Residential land uses and not Low Density Residential land uses.
Streets. The proposed preliminary plat will revise the planned connection of Equestrian Trail
extending north from SBF 12th and 14th Additions to 162nd Street and instead curve Equestrian
Trail east to intersect Eagle View Drive. A portion of existing public right-of-way for Equestrian
Trail abutting Lot 1, Block 1 SBF 14th Addition is proposed to be vacated upon approval of the
SBF 16th Addition preliminary plat as it no longer serves a public purpose with the redesign of
the street as proposed. Equestrian Trail is to be a 28 foot wide street within a 52 foot wide
right-of-way consistent with the section in SBF 12th and 14th Additions and Street SC.3 in the
SBF PUD Booklet. Bump out parking bays are provided on the north side of Equestrian Trail
leaving the south side to be posted as a no parking zone.
Elmhurst Lane is to be extended south of 162nd Street to provide a third neighborhood access to
SBF 16th Addition. The proposed street is provided as a 28 foot section within a 52 foot wide
right-of-way consistent with Street SC.3. The right-of-way and street widens at the intersection
with 162nd Street to match the commercial street section of Elmhurst Lane north of 162nd
Street.
4
Street A, which will be named Elkhorn Trail, loops north of Equestrian Trail to access single
family lots and is designed with a street section consistent with street SC.3 within the SBF PUD
Booklet. Off-street parking is to be allowed on the outside of the street loop and the inside
lane will need to be posted as no parking.
Street B, which is to be named Engleman Way, is a looped street around a neighborhood green
accessing detached townhomes. Street B/Engleman Way is proposed as a one-way street
having a 48 foot wide right-of-way and 24 foot street section consistent with SC.4 of the SBF
PUD Booklet. Off-street parking is to be allowed on the outside of the street loop and the
inside lane will need to be posted as no parking.
Pedestrian Access. The submitted plans indicate that five foot wide concrete sidewalks will be
constructed on both sides of the streets within SBF 16th Addition (except Street B/Engleman
Way), which is consistent with the street standards originally proposed by the developer as part
of SBF. Outlot B provides for a HOA maintained/publicly accessible trail connection between
Street A and the trails at the intersection of Eagle View Drive/162nd Street.
Landscaping. A landscape plan has been submitted for the interior street boulevards, and the
yards abutting 162nd Street and Eagle View Drive providing for a landscape buffer. The
developer has also submitted additional landscape plans for plantings at the foundation of the
detached townhouses and common open spaces. The proposed landscape plan is consistent
with the requirements for SBF and the character of plantings for other detached and attached
townhouse dwellings within the PUD District.
Open Space. Outlot A will be a HOA maintained/publicly accessible neighborhood green.
There is an existing trail corridor from Equestrian Trail to East Community Park platted with SBF
14th Addition at the southwest corner of SBF 16th Addition. No other public park land will be
dedicated to the City as part of SBF 16th Addition. Park dedication requirements will be met at
the time of final plat based on the formula established by the SBF Master PUD Development
Agreement.
Grading Plan. The submitted plans included grading, drainage and erosion control plans.
Outlot C includes the storm water basin to the south of the proposed single family and
detached townhome dwellings and will be required to be deeded to the City. All grading plans
are subject to review and approval by the City Engineer.
MUSA/Utilities. The subject site is located within the current MUSA and plans have been
submitted for extension of sanitary sewer and water utilities to serve the proposed SBF 16th
Addition. All utility plans are subject to review and approval of the City Engineer.
Easements. The preliminary plat illustrates drainage and utility easements at the perimeter of
all of the single family lots as required by Section 10-4-4 of the Subdivision Ordinance. Drainage
and utility easements are also required to be dedicated over all three of the detached
5
townhouse common lots, which are Lot 18, Block 1; Lot 8, Block 2; and Lot 13, Block 5. The
application includes a request to vacate existing drainage and utility easements platted with
SBF Commercial 1st Addition that will be re-established with the preliminary plat for SBF 16th
Addition as required based on the subdivision design as described in the 31 March 2016
engineering report. Drainage and utility easements will also be established over in-place trunk
utilities within the portion of the existing Equestrian Trail right-of-way to be vacated. All
drainage and utility easements are subject to review and approval of the City Engineer.
Outlots. The PUD Development Stage Plan and preliminary plat for SBF 16th Addition includes
two outlots as previously described and summarized below:
Outlot Purpose Ownership
A Publicly Accessible/Privately Maintained Open Space HOA
B Publicly Accessible/Privately Maintained Trail Corridor HOA
C Stormwater Management Basin City
Homeowners Association. Documents including SBF 16th Addition as part of the SBF Master
Homeowners Association and establishing homeowners association provisions for the detached
townhomes are required to be submitted with application for final plat approval. All
homeowners association documents are subject to review and approval by the City Attorney.
CONCLUSION
The Spirit of Brandtjen Farm 16th Addition PUD Development Stage Plan, Preliminary Plat, and
Right-of-Way/Easement Vacation are consistent with the requirements of the Comprehensive
Plan, Zoning Ordinance, Subdivision Ordinance, and the approved SBF PUD. Our office and City
staff recommends approval of the proposed development subject to the conditions outlined
below:
1. SBF 16th Addition shall be developed consistent with the approved SBF Master Plan, the
PUD booklet dated 20 June 2005 and the PUD Development Stage Plan/Preliminary Plat.
