BACKGROUND
SBF Development Corporation has submitted plans for Spirit of Brandtjen Farm 21st Addition.
The application involves platting 21.03 acres located at the northeast quadrant of Eagleview
Drive and 162nd Street for development of 99 detached townhouse dwellings, 43 attached row
townhouses, 12 base lots and 9 outlots. The subject site is zoned PUD, Planned Unit
Development District as approved by the City Council on 20 June 2005. A public hearing has
been noticed for the Planning Commission meeting on 21 March 2019 to consider applications
for a PUD Development Stage Plan and Preliminary Plat.

ANALYSIS
SBF Land Use Plan. The SBF Master Land Use Plan (Page 3.4 of the SBF PUD Booklet)
designated development of the subject site for Residential Village Center abutting Eagleview
Drive with Medium Density Residential uses at 6 to 8 dwelling units per acre extending east to
the regional greenway corridor trail. The overall density of the proposed development is 6.75
dwelling units per acre. The row style townhouses proposed within the western portion of the
subject site are consistent with the land uses anticipated by the SBF Land Use Plan to allow for
more high density forms of residential land uses at the gateway into SBF. The proposed
detached townhouse dwellings are an appropriate transitional land use between Eagleview
Drive and the public elementary school to the east consistent with the SBF Land Use Plan. The
overall proposal for development of row and detached townhouses are appropriate for this
area given other changes to the SBF Land Use Plan that have occurred as development
progressed through various additions.
The proposed site plan and preliminary plat have been designed to provide for access to all of
the proposed dwelling units via private driveways. The site design for the proposed detached
townhouses illustrates the buildings facing out to public streets or a central neighborhood
green with rear garage access via an alley at the center of the block. The site plan for the
development, combined with the architectural design of the attached and detached
townhomes provides for a desirable streetscape and unique character for a neighborhood
within SBF.
Building Plans. The developer has submitted exterior elevation plans for the proposed
“Revelation” row townhomes. The exterior elevations and perspective drawings illustrate a
unique three story building with a flat roof having usable outdoor living area. The submitted
information indicates use of various exterior textures or materials. The developer must identify
the proposed exterior materials to be used for the row townhomes, which must be consistent
with the exterior materials used within SBF including brick, stone, cement fiber board or wood
fiber board siding. Floor plans for the proposed row townhomes must also be submitted to
verify compliance with minimum floor area and attached garage requirements.
The developer has also submitted exterior elevations plans for the proposed “Revival” detached
townhomes. The architectural design of the proposed row townhomes has the character of a
narrow lot traditional two-story single family home. The submitted information illustrates
several alternative façade and roof designs for a varied streetscape appearance. The proposed
exterior materials for the detached townhomes are not specified and must also be consistent
with the exterior materials used within SBF including brick, stone, cement fiber board or wood
fiber board siding. The submitted floor plans indicate an area between 1,792 to 2,524 square
feet depending on whether the dwelling includes an optional basement. The floor plan for the
detached townhouse indicates that the attached garage has a gross floor area of 440 square
feet. For dwellings not constructed with the optional basement, the area of the garage must
be increased of 540 square feet as required by Section 11-58-21.D.2 of the Zoning Ordinance.
3
If the row townhouses do not have a basement and for those detached townhomes not
constructed with the optional basement, a storm shelter meeting the requirements of Section
11-17-27 of the Zoning Ordinance will be required.
Lot Area. Development of detached townhomes is to provide 7,500 square feet of lot area per
dwelling unit in accordance with the requirements for such uses in the RST-2 District. Attached
townhouses are to provide for a minimum of 5,000 square feet of lot area per dwelling unit in
accordance with the requirements established by the RM-1 District.
99 detached townhouses x 7,500sf. = 742,500sf.
43 attached townhouse units x 5,000sf. = 215,000sf.
Total= 957,500sf.
The area of the unit lots, base lots, and open space outlots within the site plan and preliminary
plat is 733,420 square feet or 4,762 square feet per dwelling unit. The site plan and preliminary
plat units do not comply with the minimum lot area per dwelling unit requirements of the SBF
PUD District. However, allowing the proposed number of dwelling units within the subject site
is appropriate within the key flexibilities established for the SBF PUD District for density
transfer. Allowance of the reduced lot area per dwelling unit for the proposed development is
also appropriate in the context of an acceptable site plan that provides for a unique
neighborhood character.
Setbacks. The table below indicates the required setbacks for the proposed development as
established by the table on page 7.1 of the SBF PUD Booklet:
Yard Structure Required Proposed
Front Building 15ft. 15ft.
Garage Door 25ft. NA
Side-Corner Building 15ft. 15ft.
Rear Building 20ft. NA
Garage Door 25ft. 25ft.

Building Sidewall 20ft. 14ft.

20ft. 7ft.
Attached TH 20ft. 25ft.
Guest Parking 15ft. 15ft.
The proposed preliminary plat and site plan propose a minimum 15 foot setback for the
detached and row townhouse buildings from public rights-of-way and interior private drives
(and a 25 foot setback from garage doors). The reduced front yard setback along public rights-
of-way leave limited yard space outside of public drainage and utility easements, but is
acceptable within the intent of the site plan for a unique neighborhood character.
4
The SBF PUD Standards specify a minimum 20 foot setback between the detached and row
townhouse buildings, whereas the preliminary plat provides only 15 feet between the detached
townhouse buildings. The City has adopted a Zoning Ordinance amendment to require a 14foot
setback between detached townhomes within the RST-2 District making the proposed 14 foot
setback between detached townhouse buildings for SBF 21st Addition appropriate.
The site plan for the detached townhomes shifts the building to one side of the unit lot line.
This offset of the building within the unit lot allows the architectural plans for the detached
townhouse dwellings to provide access to outdoor living areas to the side the building within a
larger side yard. The site plan and building design is a creative and efficient use of the area
between structures for outdoor living areas that would otherwise be unavailable due to the
rear garage access of each dwelling.
The off-set location of the detached townhouse dwellings within the unit lot maintains the
minimum 15 feet between buildings as required by the Zoning Ordinance. However, to
maximize the opportunity to utilize the outdoor living area created by the off-set location of the
building within the unit lot, the developer is requesting allowance of a 7 foot setback for
unenclosed structures such as a, deck or pergola, from the adjacent building on the abutting
unit lot. Allowance of the 7 foot setback for such structures between the home on the adjacent
lot is acceptable provided that they are in no way enclosed by side walls, screens, windows,
doors, or a roof.
Streets. The preliminary plat provides for Streets A and B as public streets extending into the
development from Eagleview Drive and 162nd Street. Streets A and a B are to have a 28 foot
wide section within a 52 foot wide right-of-way consistent with the design for SC.3 established
by the SBF PUD Booklet and used throughout SBF for local streets. Parking will be restricted to
one side on Streets A and B at the time of final plat approval. The site plan must be revised to
remove the parking stalls on both sides of Street A between 162nd Street and Outlots F and G so
as to not cause congestion at the 162nd Street and Street A intersection.
Private drives within the proposed preliminary plat have two section designs that are either 20
feet or 24 feet in width. Both sections have concrete curb on each side of the private drive.
The SBF PUD Booklet provided three section designs for development and use of alleys within
SBF. The proposed alley section designs are consistent with the standards incorporated as part
of the SBF PUD Booklet. The proposed alleys are to be posted as fire lanes with no parking
allowed.
All street and alley section designs are to be subject to review and approval of the City
Engineer.
Street names are to be designated in accordance with the Dakota County Grid system and
subject to approval by City staff.
5
Guest Parking. Detached and row townhouses are required to provide for 1 guest off-street
parking stall per 2 dwelling units by Section 11-58-19.J of the Zoning Ordinance. A total of 77
off-street guest parking stalls are required, but the site plan provides for only 32. The site plan
identifies 135 on-street parking stalls (not including the 6 stalls to be removed from Street A).
Due to the alley accessed configuration of the townhouse dwellings, there are no driveways to
the public streets, the on-street parking stalls are located throughout the site plan and do not
impede access to the garages of individual dwellings. The provision of guest parking using a
combination of off-street and on-street parking will be highly functional and is acceptable
based on the site plan.
Sidewalks and Trails. There is an existing five-foot wide sidewalk abutting the subject site
along Eagleview Drive. The submitted plans indicate that five-foot wide concrete sidewalks will
be constructed on the north side of 162nd Street and both sides of Streets A and B at the front
of the detached townhouse dwellings. The site plan also provides for a five-foot wide concrete
sidewalk from the row townhomes within Block 2 to Street A and to Alley D along the west side
of Alley F.
HOA maintained/publicly accessible trails are shown within Outlots E and H. HOA
maintained/publicly accessible concrete sidewalks are to be constructed within the
neighborhood green platted as Outlot I with detached townhouses facing the open space on
the east and west sides. There is also a concrete sidewalk providing pedestrian connections
between 162nd Street, Alley D, and Street A west of Lot 1, Block 8; east of Lot 1, Block 8; and
between Lots 12 and 13, Block 24.
The Parks, Trails, and Open Space Plan identifies a 10 foot wide bituminous trail along the south
side of 160th Street (CSAH 46) adjacent to the development. The Developer will be required to
grade the trail bench and construct the trail from Pilot Knob Road to Diamond Path with the
first phase final plat of the development. The City and Developer will discuss options for
financing and constructing the trail prior to submittal of the first final plat application for the
development.
Landscaping. A landscape plan has been submitted for the proposed street boulevards and
along the alleys within the development as well as common open spaces. A landscape buffer
yard abutting 160th Street (CSAH 46) consistent with previous phases of SBF is also provided for
on the landscape plan, with the plantings installed on the interior side of a 10 foot high berm.
The types and sizes of proposed plantings comply with Section 11-21-9.C of the Zoning
Ordinance. We recommend the following revisions to the landscape plan:
Additional shade trees be planted along the east plat line adjacent to the regional
greenway corridor to provide shade for trail users and establish a boundary between
the subject site and public areas of the trail and elementary school.
A typical landscape plan for the foundations of each townhouse or detached townhouse
dwelling must also be provided.
6
The developer will be required at the time of final plat approval to provide cost
estimates for the plantings to be installed to verify compliance with the requirements of
Section 11-58-21.K.1 of the Zoning Ordinance.
Park Dedication. The preliminary plat does not include dedication of land to the City for public
parks. Park dedication requirements are to be satisfied by payment of a cash fee in lieu of land
at the time of final plat approval based on the provisions of the SBF Master PUD Agreement.
Easements. Section 10-4-4 of the Subdivision Ordinance requires 10-foot wide drainage and
utility easements at the perimeter of the base lots within the preliminary plat, which is shown
on the preliminary plat. The preliminary plat is to be revised to provide for dedication of
drainage and utility easements over all of the base lots and all outlots. All drainage and utility
easements are subject to review and approval of the City Engineer.
Storm Water Management. The submitted plans include grading, drainage, and erosion
control plans. All grading plans are subject to review and approval by the City Engineer.
Utilities. The subject site is included within the current MUSA. Plans have been submitted for
extension of sanitary sewer and water utilities to serve the proposed SBF 21st Addition. All
utility plans are subject to review and approval of the City Engineer.
Outlots. The preliminary plat includes the following outlots:
Outlots Purpose Ownership
A, B, C, D, F, G Private drive HOA
E, H Publicly accessible/privately maintained open space HOA
I Sidewalk/utilities City
Phasing Plan. The developer has submitted a phasing plan for the SBF 21st Addition as shown
on the attached plan sheet and summarized below. The proposed phasing plan provides for
logical extension of streets and utilities for the development to ensure adequate access and
services. The phasing plan is to be subject to review and approval of the City Engineer.

SBF 21st Addition is located within sub-district NC-20060 of the North Creek sanitary sewer
district as identified in the City’s Comprehensive Sewer Plan. Wastewater will be conveyed via
existing trunk sanitary sewer to the MCES Farmington Interceptor and continue to the Empire
Wastewater Facility. The downstream facilities have sufficient capacity to serve the proposed
subdivision.
The Sanitary Sewer Availability Charge has not been collected on the parent parcels and must
be paid with the final plat. The fee will be based on the rate in effect at the time of final plat
approval.

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 21st 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-13 and NC 14-
B.
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 multi-celled.
The stormwater management system to serve SBF 21st Addition was constructed with
development of SBF 18th Addition and SBF Commercial 2nd Addition.
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.

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.
