Concept Plan Background
With this concept plan application, the applicant is proposing that the proposed subdivision be
designed with the general standards of the R -3, Single - Family Residential Zoning District with a
Planned Development Overlay (PDO). This allows for variations to the R -3 development stand-
ards and general guidelines, and creates design flexibility when laying out lots, streets, buffer

Concept Sketch
Planning Considerations
The following sections summarize the components of the concept plan as it relates to existing
zoning ordinance performance standards, the City's Future Vision 2030 Comprehensive Plan,
and other adopted plans.
Property Characteristics
The 160 -acre site has a combination of geographic features. The majority of the site is farmland
and the balance is shelterbelt woods. The wetland inventory is still being completed. There is one
agricultural building on the property. The site is relatively flat with drainage flowing toward the
west. An aerial photo of the property is shown below:

Planning District
This property lies within the southwest area of the city. For this project, the guiding land use doc-
ument is the Future Vision 2030 Comprehensive Plan. Staff looked at the guiding principles of the
West Draw and East Ravine Master Plans for direction on community growth and development
visions that could be applied to this proposed development.
Land Use
There are two land use classifications over the proposed site. The majority land use is Low Den-
sity Residential and the balance is Parks and Private Open Space. The proposed residential
portions of the concept plan are in conformance with the future land use plan, and the parks and
open space is significantly in conformance. The parks section of this report will cover that compli-
ance in more detail. The land use map below identifies the site and the two land use areas.

Zoning — Land Use Compliance
The requested R -3, Single Family Residential, and PDO, Planned Development Overlay, classifi-
cations are compatible with the adopted land use for the site.
Zoning — Planned Development Overlay (PDO) Plan Procedure
The Planned Development Overlay (PDO) is a tool that permits and encourages flexibility of site
planning with appropriate safeguards and controls. The PDO does not repeal the underlying
zoning classification of the property, but provides some variation to the underlying requirements
only if the result of the variation is equal or superior to the results achieved with the underlying
zoning standards. Direction from the Planning Commission and City Council assists developers in
modifying their development plan before filing planning applications for formal review and action.
This will also provide the developer an opportunity to prepare responses to design alternatives
and to document the benefits of incorporating flexibility from zoning standards. It is the Applicant's
responsibility to demonstrate that the proposed PDO accomplishes one or more of the following:
A. Introduce flexibility of site design and architecture for the conservation of land, natural
features, and open space through clustering of structures, facilities, amenities, and
activities for public benefit;
B. Improve the efficiency of public streets and utilities through a more efficient and effec-
tive use of land, open space, and public facilities through assembly and development of
land in larger parcels;
C. Provide mixed land use and land use transitions in keeping with the character of adja-
cent land uses in harmony with the comprehensive plan and the underlying zoning
districts; and

D. Provide for the clustering of land parcels for development as an integrated, coordinated
unit as opposed to a parcel by parcel, piecemeal approach and to maintain these par-
cels by central management including integrated and joint use of parking, maintenance
of open space and similar features, and harmonious selection and efficient distribution
of uses.
Some examples of the design guidelines for residential development under the PDO zoning are:
• Minimum roof pitch must be an 8:12 ratio.
• Porches on the front of the dwelling must extend a minimum of six feet from the princi-
pal structure.
• Exterior wall material changes at corners must wrap around the corner a minimum of
24 inches.
• Residential garage doors must have raised panels or similar design features.
• Homes having identical architectural design must be a minimum of five lots away from
each other.
• The front elevation must include a minimum of 30 percent coverage of brick, natural, or
artificial stucco material(s) on front elevation.
• All residences must be part of the homeowners association.
• Landscaping must exceed city ordinance minimums.
The findings ultimately necessary for City approval must include, but not be limited, to the fol-
lowing:
A. The PDO plan is consistent with the intent of the PDO requirements specified in the
City Codes.
B. The PDO plan meets the standards required for a conditional use.
C. Each stage of the PDO plan can exist as an independent unit.
D. The area surrounding the PDO plan can be planned and developed in coordination and
substantial compatibility with the proposed PDO plan.
E. Any density bonus is consistent with the density bonus criteria of the PDO ordinance.
F. Any variation of flexibility from zoning standards most similar in function to the pro-
posed PDO plan must produce results equal to or better than those achieved by the
applicable zoning standard.
G. Other factors related to the project as the Planning Commission and City Council deem
relevant. The Planning Commission and City Council may attach such conditions to
their actions as they determine necessary to accomplish the purposes of this section.
Approval of the concept plan would result in the final plans for the project being created under the
proposed PDO performance standards.

Zoning — Lot Width
The last several residential subdivisions, including this concept, were designed and processed as
Planned Development Overlays with an R -3, Single - Family Residential underlying zoning classifi-
cation. During the review of concept plans in other areas of the community, the Planning
Commission recommended that the average lot width be a minimum of 75 feet measured at the
30 -foot minimum front yard setback line. The minimum lot width in the R -3, Single - Family
Residential Zoning District, is 75 feet. Both of those plats met this criterion in their preliminary and
final plat designs. The lots in the concept plan average 74.6 feet in width.
Zoning — Lot Setbacks
The Applicant is proposing that the setbacks for the proposed homes be a minimum of 25 feet for
the front yard and a minimum of 7.5 feet on the sides, similar to the setbacks allowed by PDO for
the two most recent plats approved in the Upper Ravine neighborhood.
Zoning — Density
The developer's concept sketch proposes 374 lots for detached single - family dwellings, which is
broken into lots with an average width of 74.6 feet. The resulting density is 2.3 dwelling units per
acre (gross land area). Subtracting the pond ing /wetlands and major road right -of -way, the density
increases to 2.82 dwelling units per acre. The density range for a low density residential land use
designation is one to four dwelling units per acre. The regional goal for net density of this land
use designation is three units or greater per acre.
Staff finds the proposed net density conforms to the approved development policies in the City's
Future Vision 2030 Comprehensive Plan for this area.
Zoning — Standards Comparison
The following table shows a comparison of the proposed R -3, Low Density Residential zoning
district, and the developer's proposed Planned Development Overlay (PDO) requests:

and land use efficiencies that will still be compatible with the future land uses in terms of need,
convenience, and service.
Environmental Assessment Worksheet (EAWJ
The Applicant is currently preparing an Environmental Assessment Worksheet (EAW) for this pro-
ject. Based on State statute, a subdivision with more than 250 units requires the preparation of an
EAW. Once the applicant has completed the EAW and submitted the EAW and EAW application
to the City, staff must, within five working days, approve the EAW for distribution to other local
and state agencies for comment. A notice of availability will be published in the EQB Monitor. A
press release will be sent to the South Washington County Bulletin announcing the availability of
the EAW for public review. The Planning Commission must review the EAW during the 30 -day
comment period and make recommendations to the City Council regarding potential environmen-
tal impacts. This comment period would need to coincide with the City's review of the preliminary
plat, rezoning, and Planned Development Overlay process.
Transportation — Major Road Right -of -Ways /Access
The proposed project is bound by two major roadways that are identified as major collectors in
the City's Future Vision 2030 Comprehensive Plan. These roads are Hadley Avenue and 95th
Street. Additional right -of -way will be required along these roadways. In 2008, the City completed
a roadway plan for the extension of 95th Street to the west. This plan was shared with the appli-
cant and the preferred alignment is detailed below. This alignment impacts the southwest corner
of this project.
Planning Staff Report
Capstone Homes Development Concept Plan — Riverstone
July 18, 2013
Page 8 of 18
Transportation — Local Roads
The proposed local roads are consistent with the design standards being utilized in the East
Ravine Planning District, which includes a road width of 28 feet face -of -curb to face -of -curb. The
concept plan also includes interconnections to adjacent properties. Consistent with City policy,
temporary turn - arounds are recommended to be designed and constructed at the dead -ended
streets on the site. The street that runs north and south through the proposed plat, which is an
extension of Grenadier Avenue to the north and Mississippi Dunes Boulevard on the south, is a
collector roadway and will be designed at 36 feet in width.
The concept plan details landscaped islands in cul -de -sacs. The islands are recommended to be
platted as outlots that the homeowners association must own and maintain. The islands shall
have irrigation provided to them.
The developer is responsible to dedicate the necessary right -of -way as shown in the figure for the
95th Street Extension. The developer shall be financially responsible for the improvements to
Hadley Avenue and 95th Street as necessary to facilitate the development of the site.
A traffic study must be completed for the project as part of the EAW.
Sidewalks
The concept plan identifies sidewalks consistent with City design standards, which is a sidewalk
on one side of local roads. Cul -de -sacs are excluded from the sidewalk requirement. The street
that runs north and south through the proposed plat, which is an extension of Grenadier Avenue
to the north and Mississippi Dunes Boulevard on the south, is a collector roadway and will have
sidewalks on both sides. The sidewalks for the project are identified in blue in the detail below.

Trails
The bituminous transportation trails along Hadley Avenue and 95th Street are the responsibility of
the Applicant and will be installed as a component of the reconstruction of those roadways. Con-
sistent with the comprehensive plan, the concept plan identifies recreational trails in the planned
park dedication area. The Developer will be required to finance the transportation and recreation
trails as a component of the Planned Development Overlay. The trails in the project will connect
with existing or planned transportation and recreation trails identified in the comprehensive plan.
The proposed recreational and transportation trails are identified in red in the detail above.
Buffered Landscape Area
The City requires landscaped buffers along all major roadways within the East Ravine. The pro-
posed concept details a 15 -foot wide buffer outlot along Hadley Avenue and 95th Street. The
Technical Review Committee is recommending that the bermed and landscaped buffer area be a
minimum of 30 feet in width.
Installation of berming and landscaping are recommended to be required within the buffer. The
established buffer is proposed to be under ownership and maintenance control of a private
homeowners association established in conjunction with the subdivision.
The Applicant is also proposing to create deeper lots along the north property line, which would
allow for the existing windrow of trees to be preserved as a buffer along the existing Thompson
Grove subdivision near 90th Street. This action was encouraged by the City and addressed by
the Applicant.
Fencing
Any fencing installed in the subdivision on lots abutting this buffered outlot will be required to be
behind the berm at the toe of slope. All fencing installed by the Developer or homeowners along
Hadley Avenue and 95th Street shall be of the same design, color, and material.
Wetlands
The wetland inventory is currently being completed for the site. It is not anticipated that any wet-
land areas will be identified.
This site is located within the South Washington Watershed District (SWWD). The Watershed
District is included in the stormwater design review process.
Public Open Space
The City's Park Master Plan for this area identifies a future parks and private open space land
use and a public trailway corridor.

The current concept plan details 8.6 acres in proposed park area. Consistent with City policy, full
park dedication credit is not given for dedication areas containing wetlands, tree preservation
areas, and steep slopes. The final dedication credit for this site has yet to be finalized.
Utilities
The City's public utilities are currently available for the site, but there is sanitary sewer service-
ability to the northwest quadrant of the site. The Developer shall be responsible for securing all
necessary easements to facilitate the appropriate trunk sanitary sewer service to the site and is
financially responsible for all necessary trunk sanitary sewer to serve the site.
A trunk water main is planned to be extended to the property to the west to provide additional
service flow and pressure to the tank farm northwest of the property. A preliminary report identi-
fying the scope and cost of this project has been completed. The City Engineer and Fire Chief
have been coordinating this project. The Applicant will not be responsible for costs related to
oversizing this utility.
The final utility design for the project shall include utility connections and easements as directed
by the City Engineer.
Stormwater Management
The concept review of the stormwater requirements were completed by the City's consulting
engineer who reports the following:
1. Add the City standard 100 -year (6.3 -inch) 24 -hour event to the submitted HydroCAD
model showing conformance with the City's rate control requirements of 0.08 cfs /acre
for the 100 -year event.
2. Provide calculations showing the infiltration feature draindown time, which should be 48
hours or less.
3. When modeling the City standard 100 -year storm event, infiltration is not allowed and
the ponds and infiltration areas should start at the physical outlet elevation.
4. Provide tables summarizing compliance with the City's rate control and infiltration
volume requirements.
Additional stormwater review will be required upon submittal of the final grading and utility plans
for the site.
Grading
The Applicant is looking to phase the grading of the site in conjunction with the platted phases of
the project. The concept review of the grading was completed by the City's consulting engineer,
who reports the following:
1. The grading plan should include the proposed house pad elevation, house style, lot
corner elevations, preliminary storm sewer, and proposed easements.
2. A grading plan at 50 -scale should be provided for review.
3. Emergency Overflow (EOF) locations and elevations for all street low points should be
shown on the grading plan.
4. EOF locations and elevations for all rear yard depression areas should be shown on
the grading plan.
Planning Staff Report
Capstone Homes Development Concept Plan — Riverstone
July 18, 2013
Page 13 of 18
5. A 10 -foot wide maintenance bench should be added around all ponds and infiltration
areas. This bench should start 2 feet above the pond NWL at a 10:1 slope.
6. A 10 -foot wide access (no steeper than a 6:1 slope) route to the maintenance benches
should be shown on the grading plan.
7. The overflow between the wet pond cells and infiltration areas should be set one foot
lower than the rest of the berm and this overflow should be armored with riprap.
8. The narrow stretches of the NE Pond and SE Pond should maintain a minimum depth
of 3 feet to minimize shallow muddy pond areas.
9. Storm Sewer: No preliminary utility information has been submitted. The developer
should review the City's Surface Water Management Plan and indicate how the pro-
posed ponding system will be routed from the development, down the steep slope to
the west, and across the Nesvig Parcel.
Additional grading review will be required upon submittal of the final grading and utility plans for
the site.

Tree Preservation
The perimeter and center of the site currently contains windrows of mature coniferous and decid-
uous trees of varying species. Some of these areas will be removed based on the proposed grad-
ing plan. Thin final removal quantity will be calculated during the platting process. The ordinance
allows for 40 percent removal before mitigation is required. It is recommended that the additional
trees near the active park area be maintained. Burning of removed trees is prohibited.
Architecture
The submittal package for the concept review included sample elevation details of some of their
products. Details of several elevation series are shown below.
