RE: Lakeville – SBF; 18th Addition
TPC FILE: 135.01
BACKGROUND
SBF Development Corporation has submitted plans for Spirit of Brandtjen Farm 18th Addition.
The application involves platting a portion of Spirit of Brandtjen Farm located south of 162nd
Street and east of Eagleview Drive with 253 dwelling lots, 5 common open space lots, 1 HOA
clubhouse lot, and 9 outlots. The subject site is zoned PUD, Planned Unit Development District
as approved by the City Council on 20 June 2005. The applications involved in considering the
submitted plans are a PUD Development Stage Plan and Preliminary Plat. A public hearing to
consider the applications has been noticed for the Planning Commission meeting on 4 May
2017.

ANALYSIS
Land Uses. The SBF Master Site Plan (Page 3.5 of the SBF PUD Booklet) illustrates development
of various forms of multiple family residential dwellings in the area of SBF 18th Addition. The
proposed preliminary plat includes 152 single family cottage lots, 38 single family traditional
lots, 63 detached townhouse dwellings, and five common open space lots. The change in land
use from multiple family dwellings to single family lots is consistent with the on-going buildout
of SBF in response to current market conditions. The proposed 63 detached townhomes are
positive as alternative housing to single family dwellings within SBF and for the City’s overall
housing stock.
The preliminary plat includes an HOA clubhouse use at Lot 19, Block 15. The addition of a
clubhouse at this location, guided for Residential Village Center uses by the SBF Land Use Plan,
is appropriate to create a gateway into the northern portions of SBF and provides a desirable
transition between the commercial uses to the northwest and residential uses to the east of
Eagleview Drive. Development of Lot 19, Block 15 will be subject to a separate application for a
PUD Development Stage Plan and subject to the performance standards outlined by 11-53-7.D
of the Zoning Ordinance for clubhouse facilities within residential areas.
The SBF Land Use Plan (Page 3.4 of the SBF PUD Booklet) designates the area to be preliminary
platted for Low-Medium Density Residential (3-5du./ac.), Medium Density Residential (6-
8du./ac.), High Density Residential(12+du/ac.), Residential Village Center, public park and
trailway, and HOA park and trailway land uses. The preliminary plat identifies the net area of
the proposed 253 dwelling unit development as 76.6 acres (lots + local street right-of-way), for
a net density of 3.3 du./ac. The proposed density is less than would be allowed by the
combination of land uses guided on the SBF Land Use Plan, but still greater than the 3.0 du./ac.
minimum average the City must maintain for all residential development within the MUSA. The
lower than anticipated density is acceptable as there will be no negative impacts to existing or
planned streets and infrastructure. Future development of Outlot I may yet occur with
multiple family residential uses as guided by the SBF Land Use Plan to increase the overall
density of residential uses within SBF.
Single Family Lots. The 152 single family cottage lots are proposed with a minimum 60-foot
width consistent with the minimum lot and setback requirements for cottage lots as set forth in
Section 7 of the SBF PUD Booklet. Likewise, the 38 single family traditional lots are proposed
with a minimum 75 foot width consistent with the minimum lot and setback requirements for
traditional lots as set forth in Section 7 of the SBF PUD Booklet.
Detached Townhomes. The proposed 63 detached townhomes are to be developed in five
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 low
to medium density land uses within 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
3
between buildings, whereas the preliminary plat provides 15 feet. In that the City adopted a
Zoning Ordinance amendment to require a 14-foot setback between detached townhomes
within the RST-2 District, the proposed 15-foot setback between buildings for SBF 18th Addition
is appropriate. The developer has submitted exterior elevations and floor plans for the
proposed detached townhomes, which comply with the requirements outlined in Section 11-
57-19.C of the Zoning Ordinance for detached townhouse dwellings within the RST-2 District.
Streets. The proposed preliminary plat will extend Draft Horse Boulevard to intersect 162nd
Street west of Diamond Path and extend 162nd Street east to Eagleview Drive. The right-of-way
for Draft Horse Boulevard is 60 feet wide consistent with Street SC.3 in the SBF PUD Booklet.
Extension of 162nd Street will be an 80-foot right-of-way with a street section consistent with
the roadway design approved with SBF Elementary Addition. Local streets extend off of
intersections with Draft Horse Boulevard, 162nd Street, and Eagleview Drive (Duluth Trail is
accessed from existing 165th Street), within a 52-foot wide right-of-way consistent with Street
SC.3 in the SBF PUD Booklet. The one side of Draft Horse Boulevard and all local streets
without the bump out for on-street parking must be posted as no parking zones. All rights-of-
way and street construction plans are subject to review and approval of the City Engineer.
Sidewalks/Trails. The submitted plans indicate that five-foot wide concrete sidewalks will be
constructed on both sides of the streets within SBF 18th Addition. HOA maintained/publicly
accessible trails are shown within Outlot B, Outlot C, Outlot D, Outlot F, Outlot G, and Lot 19,
Block 15 (HOA clubhouse). Outlot E provides for the public greenway trail corridor shown on
the SBF Land Use Plan from Eagleview Drive to 162nd Street following the MCES interceptor
easement. Connections from the greenway corridor are provided to the adjacent
neighborhoods via trail corridors to Street N and Street E. Outlot E is to be deeded to the City
consistent with the park dedication provisions of the SBF PUD Master PUD Agreement.
Landscaping. A landscape plan has submitted for the interior street boulevards, the yards
abutting 162nd Street and Eagleview Drive providing for a landscape buffer for double frontage
lots, and plantings for the detached townhouse foundations and common open spaces. The
lots in Block 1 will be provided a landscape buffer yard abutting Diamond Path consistent with
previous phases of SBF. The greenway trail corridor planting plan is subject to review by City
staff.
Storm Water Management. The submitted plans include grading, drainage and erosion control
plans. Outlots C and H include storm water basins 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 divided between the current MUSA and areas shown as
being more than ¼ mile from utilities on the 2010 MUSA Serviceability Map. Plans have been
submitted for extension of sanitary sewer and water utilities to serve the proposed SBF 18th
Addition, which is feasible based on the continued buildout of SBF. All utility plans are subject
to review and approval of the City Engineer.
4
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. All
drainage and utility easements are subject to review and approval of the City Engineer.
Outlots. The preliminary plat includes the following outlots:
Outlots Purpose Ownership
A, B, D, F, G HOA maintained/publicly accessible open space HOA
C, H Stormwater basin Deed to City
E Public greenway trail corridor Deed to City
I Future development Developer

Re: SPIRIT OF BRANDTJEN FARM 18TH ADDITION
The Dakota County Plat Commission met on April 3, 2017, to consider the concept plan of the above
referenced plat. The plat is adjacent to County State Aid Highway (CSAH) 46 and future County Road (CR) 33,
and is therefore subject to the Dakota County Contiguous Plat Ordinance.
The proposed plat includes assembling of seven platted outlots, which proposes 196 single family lots and 56
detached townhome units on property located south of CSAH 46 and east of Eagleview Drive and west of
future Diamond Path. The right-of-way needs along CSAH 46 are 100 feet of half right-of-way. Restricted
access is shown along all of CSAH 46 on the underlying/existing plats. As discussed, the pedestrian tunnel
under CSAH 46, east of proposed Outlot I, is planned to be built in June/July 2017. Also, a second traffic
connection will be made to CSAH 46 for this area by September 2018.
The Plat Commission has approved the preliminary and final plat and will recommend approval to the County
Board of Commissioners.
Traffic volumes on CSAH 46 are 24,700 ADT and are anticipated to be 35,000 ADT by the year 2030. These
traffic volumes indicate that current Minnesota noise standards for residential units could be exceeded for
the proposed plat. Residential developments along County highways commonly result in noise complaints.
In order for noise levels from the highway to meet acceptable levels for adjacent residential units, substantial
building setbacks, buffer areas, and other noise mitigation elements should be incorporated into this
development.
No work shall commence in the County right of way until a permit is obtained from the County
Transportation Department and no permit will be issued until the plat has been filed with the County
Recorder’s Office. The Plat Commission does not review or approve the actual engineering design of
proposed accesses or other improvements to be made in the right of way. Nothing herein is intended to
restrict or limit Dakota County’s rights with regards to Dakota County rights of way or property. The Plat
Commission highly recommends early contact with the Transportation Department to discuss the permitting
process which reviews the design and may require construction of highway improvements, including, but not
limited to, turn lanes, drainage features, limitations on intersecting street widths, medians, etc. Please
contact Gordon McConnell regarding permitting questions at (952) 891-7115 or Todd Tollefson regarding Plat
Commission or Plat Ordinance questions at (952) 891-7070.
Sincerely,
Todd B. Tollefson

Spirit of Brandtjen Farm (SBF) is a planned unit development of which development began in
2005. The proposed development encompasses nearly all of the north half of Section 1,
Township 114 Range 20 and a substantial portion of the south half of said section. The initial
stormwater modeling and drainage plan for SBF, located on the south half of Section 1, was
prepared by Westwood Professional Services. The original design consisted of a main basin,
Spirit, surrounded by six National Urban Runoff Program (NURP) basins.

The Spirit basin design did not include a gravity outlet other than infiltration. A system of
pumps was incorporated into the design to serve three functions: 1) Irrigation supply, 2)
Recirculation for water features, and 3) Drawdown, if needed. During 2008, a decision was
made to not construct the recirculation features. As a result, the proposed pumping station
was not constructed, however, the pump station draw intake line was.
As development has continued, Spirit basin appears to have adequately infiltrated all runoff
from the development without the presence of the pumping system.
A gravel processing area has been in operation on the north half of Section 1 in excess of forty
years. As part of gravel operations years ago, a series of basins was constructed as wash basins
for sand processing. The operational need for these basins ended approximately in 2013 and
a reclamation plan was prepared for the gravel processing area. As part of the reclamation
plan, the largest basin was measured and quantified, and incorporated into the reclamation
plan with intended use as a stormwater management basin. The basin is referred to as
Nordeast Basin.

SBF 18th Addition is located within the North Creek drainage district as identified in the City’s
Water Resources Management Plan. The plat is located within sub-districts NC-9B, NC-11A,
NC-11B, NC-11C, NC-13, NC-14A, and NC 14-B. The North Creek Stormwater District
management plan identifies four stormwater basins in these drainage districts; NC-11-1, NC-
11-2, NC-11-3 and NC-13-1. Nordeast Basin and the proposed NURP basins are intended to
fulfill the requirements of these basins.
The proposed stormwater management plan is a regional plan that connects the 96 acres
within the Nordeast Basin drainage area. The proposed system utilizes the existing Nordeast
Basin for flood storage and infiltration, having peripheral National Urban Runoff Protection
(NURP) and stormwater collection systems. The pretreatment NURP basins are proposed to be
multi-celled. SBF 18th Addition includes the construction of two of the peripheral NURP basins.
An overflow pipe and overland route is proposed to be extended from the existing Spirit
Basin system to the Nordeast Basin with the SBF 18th improvements. The overflow pipe is
designed as an emergency outlet, should the Nordeast Basin’s water elevation extend beyond
the peak design storm.
The proposed NURP basins and Nordeast basin will be located within Outlot C. The proposed
stormwater management design is consistent with City requirements.
An as-built certified grading plan will be required within 30-days of final stabilization of the
disturbed areas to verify that the basins were constructed in accordance with the final
grading plan.

A National Pollution Discharge Elimination System General Stormwater Permit for
construction activity is required by the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency for areas
exceeding one acre being disturbed by grading. A copy of the Notice of Stormwater Permit
Coverage must be submitted to the City upon receipt from the MPCA.

Development of SBF 18th Addition includes the construction of a public and private storm
sewer system. Storm sewer will be installed to collect and convey stormwater runoff
generated from the streets and open space within the development. The storm sewer will
convey the runoff to the stormwater management basins within the development. The
constructed public storm sewer shall be located within public right-of-way and/or public
drainage and utility easements.
The privately owned and maintained storm sewer will be located within Outlots B and G to
collect the runoff generated from the HOA common lots.
The Trunk Storm Sewer Area Charge has not been collected on the parent parcels and shall be
paid with the final plat, at the rate in effect at the time of final plat approval.
Final locations and sizes of all storm sewer facilities will be reviewed by City staff with the final
construction plans.

A portion of SBF 18th Addition (southwest corner of Outlot E, SBF 17th Addition) is located
within areas shown on the Flood Insurance Rate Map (FIRM) as Zones AE and A, Floodway and
Flood Fringe respectively. Based on this designation, a portion of the development is located
within a Special Flood Hazard Area (SFHA), as determined by FEMA. The Developer is
proposing to construct roadway, trail, and utility improvements within the Floodway and
Floodplain Districts, both allowed per Zoning Ordinance Section 11-101-11. The Developer
shall be responsible for any requirements deemed necessary for construction of the streets
and utilities within the Floodway or Flood Fringe Districts, including but not limited to
obtaining a CLOM-R. The Developer shall provide a security with the final plat for the
floodway and flood fringe mitigation requirements, to be calculated with the final plat.
The remaining area of SBF 18th Addition is shown on the Flood Insurance Rate Map (FIRM) as
Zone X by the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA).

The Developer is responsible for obtaining a MPCA Construction Permit for the site as well as
developing and maintaining the SWPPP throughout construction phase. The permit requires
that all erosion and sediment BMPS be clearly outlined in a site’s SWPPP. Changes made
throughout construction should be documented in the SWPPP.
Additional erosion control measures may be required during construction as deemed
necessary by City staff or the Dakota County Soil and Water District. Any additional measures
required shall be installed and maintained by the developer.
