AVONLEA 3RD ADDITION
Proposed Action
Staff recommends adoption of the following motion: Move to approve: 1) a resolution approving the
Avonlea 3rd Addition preliminary and final plat; 2) a resolution designating “No Parking” areas, and 3) an
ordinance amending the Avonlea PUD.
Overview
Mattamy Homes representatives are requesting approval of the Avonlea 3rd Addition preliminary and
final plat of six single family lots, 44 attached townhome lots, two common area HOA lots, and two
outlots on property located west of Cedar Avenue (CSAH 23), north of future 185th Street (CSAH 60), and
south of the first development phase of Avonlea. A “No Parking” resolution is included in conjunction
with the Avonlea 3rd Addition preliminary and final plat due to the narrower street widths approved with
the Avonlea PUD in 2015. In addition, Mattamy Homes is requesting an amendment to the Avonlea
PUD to allow additional row townhomes along the west side of Cedar Avenue.
The Planning Commission held a public hearing on the Avonlea 3rd Addition preliminary plat and PUD
amendment at their September 21, 2017 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 September 20, 2017 meeting.

Primary Issues to Consider
• What impact does the PUD amendment have on the approved Avonlea EAW?
Mattamy Homes is requesting an amendment to the Avonlea PUD to allow 46 more row townhouses
along Cedar Avenue than the approved PUD Master Plan. Mattamy is proposing to reduce the number
of single family homes by 30 elsewhere within the Avonlea PUD on property they own (140 acres on the
westerly portion of the Avonlea PUD is owned by the Darrow-Kohl’s Family Ltd. Partnership and is not
impacted by the PUD amendment). This change in residential dwelling units will meet the EQB’s
threshold for an EAW; thus, an EIS will not be required if the PUD amendment is approved.
However, the developer must prepare a sanitary sewer analysis with the preliminary plat of Outlot B,
Avonlea 3rd Addition to show that the additional 16 dwelling units proposed with the PUD amendment
can be served temporarily by the North Creek District sanitary sewer system, given existing capacity
constraints within the North Creek District, until a sanitary sewer trunk line from the Farmington
Outlet District can be extended from the south and east to serve this area of the Avonlea PUD.

7. Avonlea 3rd Addition
Chair Swenson opened the public hearing to consider the application of Mattamy
Homes for the following, located west of Cedar Avenue (C.R. 23) and south of 183rd
Street: A. Amendment to the Avonlea Planned Unit Development District to revise
the Avonlea PUD Master Plan; B. Preliminary plat and PUD Development Stage Plan
Planning Commission Meeting Minutes, September 21, 2017 Page 5
of 6 single family lots and 44 attached townhome lots to be known as Avonlea 3rd
Addition.
David Von Ruden, Land Project Coordinator for Mattamy Homes presented an
overview of their request. Mr. Von Ruden explained that Cal Atlantic will be building
the proposed townhomes. Mattamy Homes will continue to buildout the property that
they still own in the Avonlea plat. Mattamy Homes does not plan on purchasing the
rest of Phase 3 or Phase 4. They are trying to get as much done on Phase 2 this fall
as possible and work towards finishing all of Phase 2 next summer once entitlements
are complete. Mr. Von Ruden reviewed the proposed land use changes compared to
the approved Master Plan. He indicated that the phase 3 revisions were changed to
meet the land use density requirements of the Avonlea EAW .
Planning Consultant Daniel Licht presented the planning report. Mr. Licht stated that
the proposed Avonlea 3rd Addition development consists of 6 single family lots and 44
row townhomes to be subdivided from Outlot H, Avonlea. The 17 dwelling unit
increase in this area resulting from substituting more townhouse units where single
family lots were originally planned is generally acceptable. Mr. Licht explained why
the Avonlea Master Plan is being amended, which is explained in detail in the
September 15, 2017 planning report.
Mr. Licht stated the developer has identified that the proposed revisions to the Avonlea
PUD Master Plan do not change any of the land uses on the Darrow-Kohl’s property
and is therefore recommending that Stipulation 1.A be removed.
Mr. Licht reviewed the proposed single family lots along with the row townhouse units,
including lot area, setbacks, exterior finish, garages, and guest parking.
Mr. Licht discussed access to Avonlea 3rd Addition. He stated the proposed alignment
of 185th Street (CSAH 60) west of Cedar Avenue will be discussed with Dakota County
and the developer in conjunction with the preliminary plat of Outlot B, Avonlea 3rd
Addition.
A landscape plan has been submitted by the developer. All proposed tree types, the
proposed boulevard landscaping, buffer yard requirements, and townhome
landscaping were included and are all in compliance with the Zoning Ordinance
requirements.
Mr. Licht stated that staff recommends approval of the amendment to the Avonlea
PUD District to revise the Avonlea PUD Master Plan and the Avonlea preliminary plat
and PUD Development stage plan, subject to the 11 stipulations listed in the
September 15, 2017 planning report, as amended.
Chair Swenson opened the hearing to the public for comment.
There were no comments from the audience.
Motion was made by Drotning, seconded by Lillehei to close the public hearing
at 6:37 p.m.
Planning Commission Meeting Minutes, September 21, 2017 Page 6
Voice vote was taken on the motion. Ayes – unanimous
Chair Swenson asked for comments from the Planning Commission. Discussion
points included:
• Planning Commissioners were glad to see more density along Cedar
Avenue.
• Commissioner Drotning requested that the Planning Commission get more
schooling regarding the EAW and EIS process while the City is preparing
the Comprehensive Plan update.
• Mr. Morey clarified that the additional dwelling units proposed within the
Avonlea PUD are subject to meeting sanitary sewer capacity constraints,
which were described in the Planning and Engineering reports. The
developer will have to prove that the City’s sanitary sewer system can
handle the additional units. That is why the PUD amendment will only apply
to Avonlea 3rd Addition.
• Confirmed that park designations on the approved Master Plan and the
proposed revised Master Plan are intended to be the same.
Motion was made by Lillehei, seconded by Reuvers to recommend to City Council
approval of the Avonlea Planned Unit Development amendment to revise the Avonlea
PUD Master Plan and the Avonlea 3rd Addition preliminary plat and PUD Development
stage plan of 6 single family lots and 44 attached townhome lots, subject to the
following stipulations:
1. The revised Avonlea Master Plan must be further revised to shift the proposed
park at the northwest corner of Glenbridge Avenue and 183rd Street east of the
four 65 foot wide lots shown on the revised Avonlea Master Plan.
2. The amendment to the Avonlea PUD is applicable only to the area of the Avonlea
3rd Addition preliminary and final plat.
3. All right-of-way and street construction is subject to review and approval of the City
Engineer.
4. Trees planted within the public right-of-way require HOA maintenance with no
liability to the City for damaged or destroyed trees.
5. Outlot A shall be deeded to the City. All grading, drainage, erosion control, and
wetland issues are subject to review and approval of the City Engineer.
6. All utility plans are subject to review and approval of the City Engineer.
7. All drainage and utility easement are subject to review and approval of the City
Engineer.
8. The site plan and street layout for future phases within Outlot B shall be subject to
the Avonlea Master Plan, except as may be approved as an amendment to the
Avonlea PUD and subject to meeting potential future sanitary sewer capacity
constraints as determined by the City Engineer, and Section 10-4-3.S of the
Subdivision Ordinance.
9. The preliminary and final plat is subject to review and approval of the Dakota
County Plat Commission.
10. Documents establishing a homeowners association must be submitted to address
ownership and maintenance of private open space, private drives, and boulevard
trees, which are subject to review and approval of the City Attorney prior to release
of the final plat mylars.

MEMORANDUM
TO: Daryl Morey
FROM: D. Daniel Licht, AICP
DATE: 15 September 2017
RE: Lakeville – Avonlea 3rd Addition
TPC FILE: 135.01
BACKGROUND
Mattamy Homes has submitted plans dated 08/30/2017 for development of Avonlea 3rd
Addition. The proposed development consists of 6 single family lots and 44 row townhomes to
be subdivided from Outlot H, Avonlea. The proposed development is located west of Cedar
Avenue and north of future 185th Street. The subject site is within the Avonlea PUD District
approved by the City Council on 6 April 2015. The submitted plans require consideration of
the following applications: PUD District amendment revising the Avonlea Master Plan,
Preliminary Plat/PUD Development Stage Plan, and Final Plat. A public hearing to consider the
applications has been noticed for the Planning Commission meeting on 21 September 2017.

ANALYSIS
Avonlea Land Use Plan. The Avonlea Illustrative Master Plan for the area east of Glenbridge
Avenue between Street 20 and future 185th Street designates the site for a mix of 64 foot and
54 foot wide single family lots and row townhomes, consisting of 59 single family lots and 60
row townhomes for a total of 119 dwellings. The revised preliminary plat and ghost plat for this
same area proposes 32 single family lots and 104 row townhomes or 136 dwellings within the
same area. The 17 dwelling unit increase in this area resulting from substituting more
townhouse uses where single family lots were originally planned is generally acceptable given
the location adjacent to the Cedar Avenue transit corridor and proximity to the existing park
and ride facility, provided the townhouse design meets RM-1 District performance standards
and subject to meeting potential future sanitary sewer capacity constraints as determined by
the City Engineer. Because the total number of dwelling units that may be developed within
Avonlea is fixed for the area of the PUD District, the change in unit type will have no net effect
on the residential density within Avonlea.
The 1,081 dwellings illustrated on the Avonlea Master Plan is the total number of dwellings
allowed to be developed within Avonlea without preparation of an Environmental Impact
Statement (EIS) based on the dwelling types originally proposed. The threshold for mandatory
preparation of an EIS established by Minnesota Rules 4410.4400, Subp. 14.D is 1,000
unattached units or 1,500 attached units. For mixed use developments, an EIS must be
prepared if the sum of the quotient obtained by dividing the number of unattached units by the
applicable unattached unit threshold, plus the quotient obtained by dividing the number of
attached units by the applicable attached unit threshold, equals or exceeds one. The developer
has provided a revised Master Plan for the development showing compliance with the EIS
threshold:
o Master Plan: (834 unattached/1,000) + (247 attached/1,500) = 0.999
o Revised Plan: (804 unattached /1,000) + (293 attached/1,500) = 0.999
The revised Master Plan includes 5 fewer dwelling units within the Darrow-Kohl’s property
within the Avonlea PUD District. Because the developer no longer controls this property, City
staff is concerned about removing dwelling units from this area of the PUD District for
development within parcels still under developer control to meet the EIS threshold. The
revised Master Plan must be modified to shift five single family lots from parcels controlled by
the developer to the Darrow-Kohls property consistent with the approved Master Plan.
Single Family Lots. The 6 single family lots are proposed with a minimum width of 54 feet,
minimum depth of 120 feet, and minimum area greater than 6,480 square feet consistent with
the minimum lot and setback requirements established by the Avonlea PUD Booklet. Lot
coverage is listed as 50 percent for single family lots and 60 percent for association maintained
lots. The developer must identify if any of Lots 1-6, Block 1 are to be association maintained
lots.
3
Row Townhouses. Development of the townhouses within Avonlea are subject to the
requirements of the RM-1 District except as modified by the PUD District.
Lot Area. Section 11-58-11.B.1 of the Zoning Ordinance requires townhouse dwellings
to provide 5,000 square feet of lot area per dwelling unit. The unit and base lots within
Block 2 and Block 3 both have more than 5,000 square feet of lot area per dwelling unit.
Setbacks. The preliminary plat lists setbacks applicable to the proposed townhouse
buildings. The proposed setbacks are consistent with the requirements of the
Townhouse Development Standards of the Avonlea PUD Booklet.
Exterior Finish. The building elevations for the proposed townhomes must comply with
Section 11-58-21.C.4 of the Zoning Ordinance for exterior materials. The developer has
provided front elevations for the proposed buildings showing use of brick for more than
25 percent of the wall area. The height of the proposed townhome buildings is limited
to 35 feet by the Townhouse Development Standards of the Avonlea PUD Booklet,
which the proposed buildings comply with.
Garages. The preliminary plat states that each townhouse will have a 20 foot wide
garage with minimum area of 420 square feet as required by the Townhouse
Development Standards of the Avonlea PUD Booklet.
Guest Parking. Section 11-58-21.J of the Zoning Ordinance requires provision of one-
half guest parking stall per townhouse dwelling. With 44 townhouse units shown on
the preliminary plat, 22 guest parking stalls must be provided. There are 24 guest
parking stalls shown on the site plan, which are well located to provide convenient
access to all 44 townhouse dwellings.
Access. The proposed 3rd Addition is accessed via the intersection of 183rd Street with Cedar
Avenue and connection to Glenbridge Avenue. From 183rd Street, there are two accesses to the
single-family lots and townhouse dwellings. All right-of-way and street construction is subject
to review and approval of the City Engineer, including:
Cedar Avenue. The preliminary plat abuts Cedar Avenue (CSAH 23). Right-of-way for
Cedar Avenue was dedicated with the Avonlea final plat. The submitted plans include
signage details for the Cedar Avenue/183rd Street intersection. The proposed
preliminary and final plat is subject to review and approval of the Dakota County Plat
Commission.
185th Street. Future 185th Street (CSAH 60) west of Cedar Avenue abuts Outlot B of the
preliminary plat. The submitted plans indicate a proposed alignment for the street.
Meetings have been scheduled with Dakota County and the Developer to discuss the
plan for the alignment and construction of future 185th Street. The outcomes from
4
these meetings may require revisions to the submitted plans for the ghost plat shown
for future development of Outlot B.
Local Streets. Gleed Road, 183rd Street, and Grasswort Drive are to be public streets
consistent with their designation as local streets on the Avonlea Transportation Master
Plan. Gleed Road and 183rd Street are designed with a 60 foot right-of-way and 32 foot
wide street section. Grasswort Drive is designed with a 50 foot right-of-way and 28 foot
wide street section.
Private Drives. Private drives A and B are to be constructed as 24 feet wide back-to-
back as allowed by the Transportation Master Plan and Street Character specifications
within the Avonlea PUD Booklet. The use of the private drives without dead-ends are
consistent with the requirements of Section 11-58-21.I.1 of the Zoning Ordinance.
Pedestrians. A five foot wide sidewalk is provided on one side of Gleed Road, 183rd
Street, Grasswort Drive, as well as future Street 23, consistent with the Transportation
Master Plan and Open Space Master Plan within the Avonlea PUD Booklet.
Landscaping: The developer has submitted a landscape plan and details for the preliminary
plat. All of the tree types and sizes proposed on the landscape plan are consistent with the
requirements of Section 11-21-9.C of the Zoning Ordinance
Boulevards. The landscape plan provides for boulevard trees along public streets.
Trees within public right-of-way require HOA maintenance of the trees with no liability
to the City for damaged or destroyed trees. Trees are also shown along the private
drives A and B.
Buffer Yard. Section 11-21-9.E of the Zoning Ordinance establishes requirements for a
landscaped residential buffer yard for the areas of the preliminary plat adjacent to
Cedar Avenue and future 185th Street. All of the buildings comply with the minimum 50
foot setback from Cedar Avenue and 185th Street. The height of the plantings provided
within the residential buffer yard is specified to demonstrate compliance with a
minimum 10 foot visual screen required along Cedar Avenue and future 185th Street by
Section 11-21-9.E.6 of the Zoning Ordinance.
Townhomes. The landscape plan provides for shade trees and evergreen trees at the
front, rear and sides of the proposed townhouse dwellings. A typical planting plan is
also provided for the foundations at the front, sides and rear of the townhouse
buildings. The developer has provided estimates regarding the value of construction
and the value of landscaping to be installed within the townhouse portion of the
development verifying compliance with Section 11-58-21.L of the Zoning Ordinance.
Park Dedication. The Open Space Master Plan included within the Avonlea PUD Booklet
establishes parcels to be dedicated to the City for public park facilities, the total area of which
5
exceeds the area of land required to be dedicated by Section 10-7-18 of the Subdivision
Ordinance for the overall development. There is no land within the preliminary plat proposed
to be dedicated to the City consistent with the Avonlea PUD Open Space Master Plan.
However, given the increase in the number of dwelling units in this area of the PUD, staff
recommends that the future public park planned for the northwest corner of Glenbridge
Avenue and 183rd Street be shifted to the east of the four 65 foot wide lots shown on the
revised Master Plan.
Grading Plan. The developer has provided a preliminary grading plan. The stormwater basin
and wetland (including required wetland buffer) adjacent to Cedar Avenue is to be platted
within Outlot A, which will be required to be deeded to the City. All grading, drainage, erosion
control, and wetland issues are subject to review and approval of the City Engineer.
Utility Plan. The developer has submitted a utility plan for the preliminary plat. All utility
issues are subject to review and approval of the City Engineer.
Easements. The final plat dedicates drainage and utility easements at the perimeter of all
single family lots as required by Section 10-4-4.A of the Subdivision Ordinance. Drainage and
utility easements are also provided over all of Lot 33, Block 2 and Lot 13, Block 3. Temporary
easements must be provided over Outlot B as determined by the City Engineer to allow for
phased development of the subject site. All easements are subject to review and approval of
the City Engineer.
Outlot B. The preliminary plat includes Outlot B, which is the balance of Outlot H, Avonlea
intended for a future phase of development. The site plan for Outlot B must be consistent with
the Avonlea Master Plan except as may be approved as a PUD Development Stage Plan. The
street layout for future phases within Outlot B is subject to compliance with Section 10-4-3.S of
the Subdivision Ordinance, which requires a maximum length of 600 feet and minimum length
of 150 feet for cul-de-sac streets.
Homeowners Association. Documents establishing a homeowners association must be
submitted to address ownership and maintenance of private open space, private drives, and
boulevard trees. The documents establishing the homeowners association are subject to
review and approval of the City Attorney prior to release of the final plat mylars.
Development Agreement. The Subdivision Ordinance requires the developer to provide
construction and warranty securities for the public improvements within the final plat that are
to be outlined within a development agreement. The development agreement will be drafted
by the City Attorney and is to be executed by the applicant prior to City Council consideration of
the final plat.

All of the open space amenities within Avonlea are designed to allow for public access to
other local and regional facilities as part of the City’s overall parks, trails and open space
system. The Avonlea Open Space Master Plan identifies 171.4 acres of open space, consisting
of greenway corridors, public park area, wetlands, storm water basins and private HOA parks.
Private HOA parks will not be credited against public park dedication requirements. The
Avonlea Illustrative Master Plan shows that the approximate area to be acquired by the City
for park purposes within the development, subject to preliminary and final plat approvals, as
17.5 net acres of greenway corridor that is considered usable park area (less wetlands,
wetland buffers, and stormwater basins) and 66.5 acres for a Future City Community Park
(which includes stormwater management) for a total of 84 acres of public park area. The Park
Dedication requirements are detailed in the Avonlea Development Contract.
The Park Dedication requirement was collected on the parent parcel with the Avonlea final
plat. No additional park land is required to be dedicated with the Avonlea 3rd Addition final
plat.

Avonlea 3rd Addition is located north of the Future City Community Park. The net area of the
Future City Community Park will be determined at such time as the area of 185th Street (future
CSAH 60) and Hamburg Avenue right-of-way, wetlands and buffers, and the stormwater
basins at the northwest and northeast corners of the Future City Community Park are
established, as identified in the Avonlea PUD Booklet dated April 6, 2015, as these areas shall
be excluded from the calculation of compensation paid to the Developer for park dedication
requirements applicable to the entire Avonlea Master Plan.
Greenway Corridor Trail
The current City’s Parks, Trails, and Open Space Plan identifies a greenway corridor traversing
east/west through the area of the master plan, directly north of and adjacent to the parent
parcel. Construction of the trails for the greenway corridor is premature for City park purposes
at least until the greenway corridor extends between Cedar Avenue and future Hamburg
Avenue. The City is responsible to construct the base and surface in the future. The
Developer may elect to construct the trail base and surface now at their cost with the Avonlea
improvements.
Neighborhood Parks
The current City’s Parks, Trails, and Open Space Plan identifies two neighborhood parks in the
area of the PUD Master Plan. The Developer proposes to develop public park area along the
greenway corridor trails, and public open space to satisfy the park dedication requirement.

Avonlea 3rd Addition is located within subdistricts NC-20145 of the North Creek sanitary sewer
district and FO-60450 and FO-60460 of the Farmington Outlet sanitary sewer district, as
identified in the City’s Sewer Plan. The majority of the final plat is located within the MUSA
area where trunk sewer improvements are required. The parent parcel was previously located
outside the MUSA (Urban Reserve), and was brought into the MUSA with the Avonlea
preliminary plat. The portion of Avonlea 3rd Addition within the Farmington Outlet district will
be temporarily served by sewer within the North Creek district, until the trunk sewer within
the Farmington Outlet is extended to the property. The sewer shall be designed such that the
flow can be re-routed to the Farmington Outlet at the time trunk sewer is extended to the
property.
8-inch sanitary sewer will be extended within the subdivision to provide sanitary sewer
service to the development. Wastewater from the development will be conveyed via existing
trunk sanitary sewer to the MCES Farmington Interceptor and continue to the Empire
Wastewater Treatment Facility.
The City’s Comprehensive Sewer Plan identifies the sewer downstream of the proposed 18-
inch extension as an area of Potential Future Capacity Constraints. This section of sanitary
sewer should be monitored for capacity as development continues upstream. A future
