PLANNING ANALYSIS
ZONING MAP AMENDMENT
The Summer’s Creek preliminary plat area is currently zoned RS-4, Single Family
Residential District; RM-1, Medium Density Residential District; O-R, Office-Residential
Transition District; and C-3, General Commercial District (Exhibit C). The developer has
applied to amend the Zoning Map for the areas zoned O-R and C-3 to RM-1. The
proposed 2040 Comprehensive Land Use Plan shows the area proposed to be
amended as guided for Medium Density Residential, of which the RM-1 District is
consistent.
PRELIMINARY PLAT
Existing Conditions. The development site consists of one parcel. The use on the
property has been primarily undeveloped agricultural land as well as a house,
accessory structures, well, and septic, which must be removed with the development
of the site (Exhibit A).
Consistency with the Comprehensive Plan. The Summer’s Creek property is located
in Planning District 3 of the 2008 Comprehensive Plan, which guides the subject
property for medium density residential, office/residential transition, and commercial
development where city sewer is available. The subject property is located in Planning
District 5 of the proposed 2040 Comprehensive Plan. Planning District 5 guides the
subject property for low/medium and medium density residential development.
Adjacent Land Uses. The adjacent land uses and zoning are as follows:
North – Dodd Blvd (CSAH 9), Cherryview Park (P/OS), single family homes (RS-2)
East – Central Maintenance Facility (P/OS), vacant land (C-3)
South – Avonlea development of single family homes, detached townhomes (PUD)
West – Undeveloped Agricultural land (RS-4)
Consistency with the Capital Improvement Plan (CIP). City streets, sanitary sewer
and water improvements for the area of Summer’s Creek will be financed and
constructed by the developer. The development costs associated with the Summer’s
Creek development are not programmed in the 2019– 2023 CIP. The future re-
alignment of Dodd Boulevard has been included in the draft 2020-2024 CIP for
construction in 2023.
Premature Subdivision Criteria. A preliminary plat may be deemed premature if any
of the criteria listed in Chapter 10-2-4-1 of the Subdivision Ordinance exist. Eligible
criteria pertain to a lack of adequate: drainage, water, streets, sanitary sewer, and
public service capacity (police and fire protection). The other pertinent criteria pertain
to inconsistencies with the City Comprehensive Land Use and Capital Improvement
3
Plans (discussed above). Staff review of the Summer’s Creek preliminary plat against
these criteria finds that it is not a premature subdivision.
Density/Average Lot Size. The Summer’s Creek preliminary plat consists of 84 single
family lots and 127 detached townhome lots on 92.96 acres. This results in a gross
density of 2.27 units per acre. Excluding arterial street right-of-way, wetlands,
stormwater management ponds, and future development outlots, the net density is
3.16 units per acre.
SINGLE FAMILY LOT REQUIREMENTS
Lots/Blocks. The following minimum single-family lot size requirements of the RS-4,
Single Family Residential District pertain to the Summer’s Creek preliminary plat:

Single family lot sizes within the Summer’s Creek preliminary plat range from 9,100
square feet to 20,862 square feet in area. All of the single family lots meet the lot area,
width and depth requirements of the RS-4 District.
Setbacks. The following minimum requirements for single family building setbacks in
the RS-4 District pertain to the Summer’s Creek preliminary plat:
Front Yard Side Yard

The proposed house pads shown on the Summer’s Creek grading, drainage and
erosion control plan indicate that all 84 single-family lots have adequate building pad
areas that meet setback requirements for principal structures.
DETACHED TOWNHOME DEVELOPMENT STANDARDS
Lot Requirements. The following minimum requirements for detached townhome
building setbacks in the RM-1 District pertain to the Summer’s Creek preliminary plat:
Base Lot Between Buildings
(Detached Units)
Front Yard
(to ROW)
RM-1 30 feet 14 feet 20 feet (front)
25 feet (garage)
4
The proposed unit lots shown on the Summer’s Creek preliminary plat have sufficient
area to accommodate detached townhome units. A homeowner’s association will be
required to be established for ownership and maintenance of the following common
lots:
• Lot 18, Block 6
• Lot 26, Block 7
• Lot 41, Block 8
• Lot 30, Block 9
• Lot 16, Block 10
The RM-1 District requires at least 5,000 square feet per unit. The Summer’s Creek
Preliminary plat has an average of just over 9,300 square feet per unit for the detached
townhomes area, which exceeds the minimum lot area per unit requirements of the
RM-1 District.
Exterior Materials. Each unit must meet the requirements of Section 11-58-21.C.4,
which requires that a minimum of 25% of the area of each elevation of the unit must
have an exterior finish of brick, stucco, and/or natural or artificial stone. Except for
brick, stucco, and/or natural or artificial stone, no single elevation may have more than
75% of one type of finish or have more than 60% of all elevations of one type of finish.
The City has deemed the use of cement fiberboard material as satisfying the minimum
masonry material requirement and is therefore also allowed to exceed the maximum
area limit for non-masonry materials.
Floor Area. The developer must submit dimensioned floor plans for the detached
townhome units to verify compliance with the minimum requirements for above
grade floor area established by Section 11-17-13D of the Zoning Ordinance.
Garage Area. The proposed detached townhome units are proposed to be slab on
grade. The minimum area of each garage must be at least 540 square feet and have a
minimum width of 20 feet.
Storm Shelters. Because all of the proposed detached townhomes will be slab on
grade units, provisions shall be made to provide storm protection internally to the
unit.
Landscaping. Each detached townhome unit must provide landscaping at the
immediate perimeter of the unit. All landscaped areas, including common open space
and public right of way, must have an inground irrigation system with an automatic
controller. With the final plat, the Developer must provide information that the
landscaping of the detached townhome units meets the requirements of Section 11-
58-21K.
Boulevard Trees. The developer is proposing to plant boulevard trees within the
detached townhome blocks of the plat. The plans must be modified to show these
trees within the common lot and not within the city right of way..
Residential Buffer Yard Requirements. Eleven (11) single family lots abutting
existing and future Dodd Boulevard/179th Street require increased buffer yard lot sizes
5
and setbacks along with 33 detached townhome units that abut future Dodd
Boulevard in the Summer’s Creek preliminary plat. Dodd Boulevard is classified as a
minor arterial in the Comprehensive Transportation Plan. The buffer yard screening
must provide an effective minimal visual screen to a height of 10 feet. The buffer yard
landscape plan includes the installation of a variety of overstory and evergreen trees,
as well as shrubs to provide a visual buffer (Exhibit L). The single family lots abutting
existing and future Dodd Boulevard must install sod to the side/rear property line. A
$1,000/lot security will be required with the building permit.
Outlots. There are seven outlots totaling 18.09 acres in the Summer’s Creek
preliminary plat. The use of the proposed outlots will be as follows:
Outlot A – 5.98 acre outlot consisting of a stormwater management basin and
stream re-alignment that will be deeded to the City with the final plat.
Outlot B – 2.10 acre outlot consisting of a stormwater management basin that will
be deeded to the City with the final plat.
Outlot C – 4.65 acre outlot consisting of a stormwater management basin and
stream re-alignment that will be deeded to the City with the final plat.
Outlot D – 3.39 acre outlot consisting of a wetland and stormwater management
basin that will be deeded to the City with the final plat.
Outlot E – 1.20 acre outlot consisting of a stormwater management basin that will
be deeded to the City with the final plat.
Outlot F – 0.74 acre outlot for future development that will be deeded to the City
with the final plat.
Outlot G – 0.03 acre outlot for future development that will be retained by the
developer.
The plans show Outlot H at the location of a temporary street connection to the
existing Dodd Boulevard. Staff has requested that the outlot not be shown on the
plans as it is not required for the temporary street connection.
Signs. No subdivision identification monument signs are proposed with the Summer’s
Creek preliminary plat.
Streets. The following is a summary of streets proposed with the Summer’s Creek
preliminary plat. Additional detailed information is outlined in the Engineering
Division memorandum dated July 12, 2019.
Dodd Boulevard (CSAH 9) – Dodd Boulevard is north of and adjacent to the property
and is classified as a minor arterial in the Comprehensive Transportation Plan. Because
Dodd Boulevard is proposed to be realigned, no additional ROW is required to be
dedicated for the existing roadway.
179th Street (Future CSAH 9) – Right of way for the future 179th Street (shown as Future
Dodd Boulevard on the plans) is provided with the Summer’s Creek preliminary plat.
This street is a future county roadway, as identified in the 2006 Dakota County East-
West Corridor Preservation Study. The Dakota County Plat Needs Map indicates 150
feet of right of way is required for this future street, which is shown on the preliminary
6
plat. The future street is programmed for construction in 2023 in the City’s draft 2020-
2024 Capital Improvement Program.
175th Street – 175th Street is a minor collector along the east boundary of the site. 175th
Street is a 40-foot wide street within an 80-foot-wide right of way and is shown with
five foot wide concrete sidewalks on both sides of the street. The plans must be
modified to show a bituminous trail on the east side of the street, consistent with 175th
Street north of existing Dodd Boulevard. A cash escrow will be collected with the final
plat for the future construction of the sidewalk and trail along 175th Street at time the
existing Dodd Boulevard is removed and the two segments of 175th Street are
connected. Until such time that Dodd Boulevard is relocated, 175th Street will be
barricaded to allow access for emergency vehicles only.
180th Street – 180th Street will be a residential street constructed within a 60-foot right-
of-way and a 32-foot-wide street with a 5-foot-wide concrete sidewalk along the north
side of the street. Lot 14, Block 5 must have driveway access from 180th Street.
Hamburg Avenue – Hamburg Avenue is classified as a minor collector in the City’s
Transportation Plan south of future 179th Street and will be constructed within an 80-
foot right-of-way and a 40-foot-wide street with a 5-foot-wide concrete sidewalk along
the west side of the street and an eight (8) foot wide bituminous trail on the east side
of the street. North of future 179th Street, Hamburg Avenue will begin as a 40 foot wide
street within a 60 foot right of way before transitioning to a 32 foot wide residential
street that ends in a permanent cul-de-sac. A five foot wide concrete sidewalk will be
located on the north side of the street, west of Graphite Lane.
Prior to the construction of 179th Street, a temporary connection from Hamburg
Avenue to the existing Dodd Boulevard will be constructed. A security will be required
with the final plat to ensure removal and restoration of the interim roadway.
Hayes Avenue – Hayes Avenue will be a residential street constructed within a 60-foot-
wide right-of-way and a 32-foot-wide street with a 5-foot-wide concrete sidewalk on
the east side of the street.
Gresford Lane – Gresford Lane will be a residential street constructed within a 60-foot-
wide right-of-way and a 32-foot-wide street with a 5-foot-wide concrete sidewalk
along the west side of the street. It will be extended from it’s current terminus in the
Avonlea development to the south.
Graphite Lane – Graphite Lane will be a residential street constructed within a 60-foot-
wide right-of-way and a 32-foot-wide street with a 5-foot-wide concrete sidewalk
along the south side of the street.
Greenwich Way – Greenwich Way will be a residential street constructed within a 60-
foot-wide right-of-way and a 32-foot-wide street with a 5-foot wide concrete sidewalk
along the south side of the street. East of Grantham Lane, Greenwich Way will end in a
permanent cul-de-sac.
Grantham Lane – Grantham Lane will be a residential street constructed within a 60-
foot-wide right-of-way and a 32-foot-wide street with a 5-foot-wide concrete sidewalk
along the west side of the street.
7
Granite Court/Greeley Place – Granite Court and Greeley Place will be residential streets
constructed within a 60-foot-wide right-of-way and a 32-foot-wide street that will end
in a permanent cul-de-sac.
Hawksbill Drive – Hawksbill Drive will be a residential street constructed within a 60-
foot-wide right-of-way and a 32-foot-wide street with a 5-foot wide concrete sidewalk
along the north and east side of the street. Lots 1 – 10, Block 2 are prohibited from
having access to Dodd Boulevard (CSAH 9).
Havana Path – Havana Path will be a residential street constructed within a 60-foot-
wide right-of-way and a 32-foot-wide street with a 5-foot-wide concrete sidewalk
along the north side of the street.
Headwaters Drive – Headwaters Drive will be a residential street constructed within a
60-foot-wide right-of-way and a 32-foot-wide street with a 5-foot-wide concrete
sidewalk along the northeast side of the street. The street will provide a connection to
the Pinnacle Reserve plat.
All streets meet the minimum width and design requirements of the Subdivision
Ordinance.
Phasing. Summer’s Creek will be developed in at least two phases. The first phase of
development is centered on the extension of Hamburg Avenue to Dodd Boulevard
and includes both single family and detached townhomes. The remaining phase(s) of
development will be the single family homes in the southwest corner of the site and
the detached townhomes on the east side of the site. The phasing plan is shown on
Exhibit P.
Grading, Drainage, Erosion Control, and Utilities. Proposed grading, drainage,
erosion control, and utilities for the Summer’s Creek preliminary plat is shown on the
grading, drainage and erosion control and utility plans. All existing and new local
utilities shall be placed underground.
Grading, drainage, erosion control, and utilities details are outlined in the July 12, 2019
engineering report prepared by Christina Orlowsky, Project Engineer and Mac Cafferty,
Environmental Resources Manager. The Engineering Division recommends approval of
the preliminary plat.
Tree Preservation. A tree preservation plan (Exhibits M and N) was submitted by the
developer. There are 1,087 significant trees located within the Summer’s Creek
preliminary plat boundaries. The tree preservation plan proposes to save 123 (11.3%)
of the significant trees on site. The vast majority of the trees proposed to be removed
are Boxelder, Siberian Elm, and ash trees. Mac Cafferty, Environmental Resources
Manager has reviewed the tree preservation plan. His comments are included in the
July 12, 2019 engineering report.
Wetlands. A wetland delineation has been completed and the information and data
has been incorporated into the preliminary plat plans. The existing water quality
corridor will be restored with this project and there are 0.11 acres of wetland impacts
proposed with this development that will require replacement. Mac Cafferty has
reviewed the wetland delineation report. His comments are included in the July 12,
2019 engineering report.
8
Park Dedication. The City’s 2015 Parks, Trails, and Open Space Plan designates the
area south of 185th Street, between Highview Avenue and Cedar Avenue as the
location of a future neighborhood park. The Pinnacle Reserve at Avonlea plat
southwest of the Summer’s Creek preliminary plat includes a future neighborhood
park. Cherryview Park is an existing neighborhood park located north of Dodd
Boulevard and will be adjacent to the Summer’s Creek plat at the time that the existing
Dodd Boulevard right of way is vacated. Park dedication requirement has not been
collected on this parcel and will be required to be paid at the time of final plat. The
Parks, Recreation and Natural Resources Committee will review the preliminary plat at
their July 17, 2019 meeting. Their comments will be forwarded to the Planning
Commission at the public hearing.
Sidewalks/Trails. The developer will construct 5-foot-wide concrete sidewalks along
one side of all streets in the development, except permanent cul-de-sac streets. The
City’s 2015 Parks, Trail and Open Space Plan identifies bituminous trails along
Hamburg Avenue as a part of a greenway corridor. A bituminous trail will be
constructed by the developer on the east side of Hamburg Avenue, south of future
179th Street. An escrow for the future construction of a concrete sidewalk and
bituminous trail along 175th Street will be required with the final plat. Ten foot wide
bituminous trails are planned for both sides of the future 179th Street and will be
constructed with the street.
MUSA. The Summer’s Creek preliminary plat area is located within the current MUSA.
Ghost Plat. A ghost plat (Exhibit Q) for the Moses property to the west has been
submitted and shows a potential single family development layout that connects to
Headwaters Drive from the Summer’s Creek plat as well as streets from the Pinnacle
Reserve of Avonlea plat to the south.
Overhead Utilities. A private overhead electric line and pole are located along the
northeast property boundary. The developer will be required to place these utilities
underground as a part of the improvements on the site. A security will be required to
guarantee that the work is completed.
Plat Commission. The Dakota County Plat Commission reviewed and approved the
preliminary plat at their April 29, 2019 meeting. The Plat Commission letter is included
as Exhibit R.

Re: CREEKSIDE (FKA BOATMAN PROPERTY)
The Dakota County Plat Commission met on April 29, 2019, to consider the preliminary plat of the above
referenced plat. The plat is adjacent to CSAH 9 (Dodd Blvd.) and future Dodd Blvd./179th Street, and is
therefore subject to the Dakota County Contiguous Plat Ordinance.
The proposed plat includes a revised alignment of future Dodd Blvd/179th Street. The plat is dedicating 150
feet for future Dodd Blvd. No additional right of way is required along existing CSAH 9 with the future plans
for a turn back to the City and vacation of CSAH 9, which is located west of 175th Street to the new right of
way of future Dodd Blvd realignment.
Current access to the development will be from the south with a temporary access at Hamburg Avenue and
existing CSAH 9. Restricted access should be shown along all of the future Dodd Blvd. except access opening
at “Street 5”, Hamburg Avenue, and 175th Street.
As noted, the existing CSAH 23/CSAH 9 intersection will be a restricted access location in the future with the
realignment of 179th Street/Dodd Blvd. and turn back of portions of Dodd Blvd. to the City.
The Plat Commission has approved the preliminary plat provided that the described conditions are met. The
Ordinance requires submittal of a final plat for review by the Plat Commission before a recommendation is
made to the County Board of Commissioners.
Traffic volumes on CSAH 9 and Future 79th Street are 16,500 ADT and unknown, respectively, and are
anticipated to be 20,000 ADT and unknown 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 Butch McConnell regarding permitting questions at (952) 891-7115 or Todd Tollefson
regarding Plat Commission or Plat Ordinance questions at (952) 891-7070.
