PLANNING ANALYSIS
2
Zoning. Bennett Bluffs is zoned RM-1, Medium Density Residential District which allows single
family homes subject to the regulations listed in the RS-4, Single Family Residential District.
Existing Conditions. The two subject properties are undeveloped and include wetlands and a
drainage swale. The properties have been used for agricultural purposes. One parcel is 13.12
acres and the other is 10 acres; both are metes and bounds described parcels. The area of the
proposed preliminary plat is moderately sloped from north to south draining toward the South
Creek Tributary near the southwest corner of the property. The 10-acre easterly property
includes delineated wetlands, natural gas pipelines and an electrical transmission line adjacent to
Cedar Avenue.
Lot and Setback Requirements. There are 24 lots proposed on three blocks. The minimum
requirements for single family lots in the RS-4 District are as follows:
Lot and Building Requirements Interior Lot Corner Lot
Minimum Lot Area 8,400sf. 10,200sf.
Min. Lot Width 70ft. 85ft.
Buffer Yard Corner NA 95ft.
Max. Building Coverage 40% 40%
Setbacks Front 20ft. to bldg. / 25ft. to garage
Side interior 7ft.
Side corner Buffer Yard 30ft.
Rear 30ft.
All 24 single family lots meet the minimum lot size and lot width requirements.
Development Density. The Bennett Bluffs final plat consists of 24 single family lots on 23.12
acres. Lot sizes range between 8,575 square feet and 18,577 square feet in area. The gross density
is 1.03 units per acre. The net density, excluding Outlots A and B (11.10 acres) and 202nd Street
and Cedar Avenue right-of-way (3.68 acres) equals 2.88 units per acre.
Outlots. The Bennett Bluffs final plat proposes three outlots. The proposed outlot area and use
is as follows:
Outlot A – 0.065 acres that will be deeded to the City for wetland preservation and
stormwater management purposes.
Outlot B –10.44 acres that will be deeded to the City for wetland and stormwater
management purposes.
Outlot C - 1.30 acres that will be retained by the developer for possible future development in
compliance with Zoning Ordinance requirements.
3
Streets and Sidewalks and Trails. The Bennett Bluffs final plat includes the dedication of right-
of-way for the following three streets:
202nd Street (CSAH 50) – 202nd Street is classified as a minor arterial road with a 75-foot wide
south-half right-of-way requirement. 202nd Street reconstruction project is nearing
completion as a two-lane undivided roadway with a center turn lane, including curb and
gutter with turn-lanes and a traffic signal light at Cedar Avenue (CSAH 23). Seventy-five feet
of south half right-of-way is shown on the final plat in compliance with Dakota County Plat
Commission recommendations.
Cedar Avenue (CSAH 23) – Cedar Avenue is classified as a principal arterial road requiring a
75-foot wide west half right-of-way. Ninety feet of west half right-of-way is shown on the
preliminary plat in compliance with Dakota County Plat Commission recommendations for
a minimum of 75-feet of west half right-of-way. The additional right-of-way encompasses
the Great River Energy and Cedar Avenue utility and roadway easement. A 10-foot wide trail
is located along Cedar Avenue.
Glenbrook Path – Glenbrook Path will be the only street constructed with the Bennett Bluffs
development. Glenbrook Path is a local street that will access 202nd Street (CSAH 50) to the
north and will end in a temporary cul-de-sac at the west boundary of the plat until such time
as the road is extended when the property to the west develops to provide a connection to the
future residential development. Glenbrook Path includes the required minimum 60 feet of
right-of-way and a 32-foot wide paved street. A five-foot wide concrete sidewalk on the west
and north sides of Glenbrook Path will connect to the 10-foot wide paved trail along the
south side of 202nd Street (CSAH 50).
Buffer Yard Landscaping. Two lots abut 202nd Street (CSAH 50) requiring increased lot widths
of 95 feet to comply with buffer yard lot width requirements and landscaping. The 30-foot wide
side-yard buffer, earth berm, and landscaping complies with the 10-foot tall minimum screening
height requirements adjacent to 202nd Street. Evergreen trees are required to be a minimum of
10-feet in height. A security shall be provided with the final plat to guarantee installation of the
approved landscaping.
Easements. All lots in the final plat include boundary drainage and utility easements that meet
the minimum requirements of the Subdivision Ordinance. All existing public and private
easements within Outlot B will remain.
Parks Dedication and Trails. The Parks, Trail and Open Space Plan identifies trails along the
west side of Cedar Avenue (CSAH 23) and the south side of 202nd Street (CSAH 50). The trail
has been constructed along Cedar Avenue. A trail will be constructed along the south side of
4
202nd Street as part of the road improvement project between Holyoke Avenue and Cedar
Avenue. Park land dedication is not required with the Bennet Bluffs final plat, therefore, a cash
fee for park dedication will be required for the 24 single family home lots. The park dedication
fee is $4,509 per lot totaling $108,216 payable at the time of final plat approval.
Subdivision Identification Sign. The final plat plans do not indicate a location for a subdivision
monument sign. If the developer chooses to install a sign, it must be located at the subdivision
entrance from Glenbrook Path at 202nd Street. A monument sign may be no more than 10 feet in
height, no more than 100 square feet in area, and must be maintenance free. A sign permit must
be issued by the City prior to the installation of a subdivision identification sign.
Grading, Drainage, Erosion Control, and Utilities. The proposed house pads shown on the
Bennett Bluffs final plat grading plan indicate that all 24 lots have adequate building pad areas
that meet setback requirements. Building permit plans for all lots must show space for three
garage stalls regardless whether three garage stalls are proposed with the initial construction of
houses on each lot. The proposed grading, drainage, erosion control for the Bennett Bluffs final
plat have been reviewed by Engineering Division staff. City sewer is available from the south.
City water was recently installed and is available on the south side of 202nd Street. The
Engineering Division comments are included in the January 10, 2020 engineering report
prepared by Alex Jordan, Assistant City Engineer and Mac Cafferty, Environmental Resources
Manager.
Wetlands. A wetland delineation prepared on April 24, 2019 identified wetland areas within the
preliminary plat. All wetlands and wetland buffer areas are within Outlots A and B and will be
deeded to the City with the final plat.
Tree Preservation. A tree preservation plan was prepared with approved preliminary plat. The
tree preservation plan identifies 17 significant trees within the final plat area with none proposed
to be removed.
Floodplain. A portion of the preliminary plat area is located within a FEMA designated flood
zone. That area is included in Outlot A and will be deeded to the City. The developed area of the
streets and lots are not within a designated flood zone.

The Bennett Bluffs preliminary plat application was submitted to the City for review following
approval of construction plans for CP 15-12, and prior to the commencement of Phase 2 of
the project adjacent to the parent parcels. The approved construction plans did not provide
an access to the parent parcels from 202nd Street, as the exact location was unknown during
design. The preliminary plat was submitted to Dakota County for review by the Plat
Commission at the August 5, 2019 meeting. Dakota County agreed to allow a full access for
the Bennett Bluffs development as shown on the preliminary plat, conditioned upon the
development providing a road connection to the west plat boundary.
To allow for the full access intersection, Dakota County modified the construction plans for
202nd Street to include an east bound right turn lane and west bound left turn lane to the
parent parcels at the proposed street location. The Developer is responsible to reimburse the
City $36,402.92 with the final plat for the design and construction costs to allow the full
access intersection.
The current Dakota County Plat Review Needs Map indicates a 75-foot wide half right-of-way
requirement, which is shown to be dedicated on the preliminary plat. The final plat was
reviewed and recommended for approval by the Dakota County Plat Commission at its

FEMA FLOODPLAIN ANALYSIS
A portion of Bennett Bluffs is shown on the Flood Insurance Rate Map (FIRM) as Zone AE by
the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA). Based on this designation, a portion of
the plat is located within a Special Flood Hazard Area (SFHA), as determined by FEMA. The
SFHA will be located within Outlot A and deeded to the City with the final plat. All other areas
of the development are shown as Zone X and outside of the SFHA.

The wetland delineation for the site was conducted on 4/24/2019 by Ken Arndt with Midwest
Natural Resources (MNR). An onsite visit occurred May 30, 2019. One 5.62-acre wetland was
identified within the project boundaries. Based on the information provided in the MNR
report dated 5/17/2019, and site visit, the wetland delineation for the area outlined in the
report has been determined to be acceptable for use in implementing the Wetland
Conservation Act.
No impacts are proposed with the plat. Natural Area signs will be shown on the final plat
along the wetland buffers (~33 locations).
