Call to Order Chair Rostad called the Planning Commission meeting to order at 7:00 p.m. Roll Call Members Present: Adam Graf, Kimberly Graff, Jody Imdieke, Wayne Johnson, Jim Rostad, Randall Wehrle Members Absent: Ken Brittain, Lise' Rediske, Chris Reese Staff Present: Jennifer Levitt, Community Development Director/City Engineer John McCool, Senior Planner John M. Burbank, Senior Planner Justin Olsen, City Councilmember Approval of Agenda Graff made a motion to approve the agenda. Imdieke seconded. The motion was approved unanimously (6-to-0 vote). Open Forum Rostad asked if anyone wished to address the Planning Commission on any non-agenda item. No one addressed the Commission. Chair's Explanation of the Public Hearing Process Rostad explained the purpose of the Planning Commission, which serves in an advisory capacity to the City Council, and that the City Council makes all final decisions. In addition, he explained the process of conducting a public hearing and requested that any person wishing to speak should go to the microphone and state their full name and address for the public record. Public Hearings and Applications 6.1 Biscoe Lot Split and Density Transfer — Case MS2014-023 and CUP2014-024 Donald Biscoe and Steven Biscoe have applied for a conditional use permit for a density transfer and a minor subdivision to subdivide a 9.43-acre parcel of land located north of 100th Street at Lehigh Road into two parcels of 5.93 acres and 3.50 acres. Planning Commission Minutes July 28, 2014 Page 2 of 10 Burbank summarized the staff report and recommended approval subject to the conditions stipulated in the staff report. Rostad opened the public hearing. No one spoke. Rostad closed the public hearing. Graf made a motion to approve the conditional use permit for a density transfer and a minor subdivision, subject to the conditions listed in the staff report. Johnson seconded. Motion passed unanimously (6-to-0 vote), 6.2 Rumpca/Bailey's Materials Processing — Case CUP2014-017 Rumpca Excavating has applied for a conditional use permit to continue to process mate- rials and recycling of concrete and asphalt for the sale of processed products on the Bailey Nurseries property at 6750 103rd Street South. McCool summarized the staff report and recommended approval of a modified version of the conditional use permit application to allow the applicant to continue excavating the stormwater basin in the northwest corner of their developed site and re-grade the slope in the northeast corner of the developed area. Johnson asked if the stormwater basin to the north hasn't been started yet. McCool responded that was correct. Johnson asked if that was one of the requirements and is there any timeframe for it to be finished. McCool responded the recommendation in the staff report is five years. Johnson then asked if this would come before the Commission again in five years if the pro- jects were not completed. McCool responded that if they were unable to complete their grading plan, which is for the stormwater basin in the northwest corner of the property, they would need to make application to extend the conditional use permit. Staff anticipates that removal of the stockpiles and the eastern slope stabilization will be completed this year. Johnson asked if it would benefit Bailey Nurseries to finish the stormwater basin. McCool stated that Bailey Nurseries will answer that. Johnson asked what happens if they don't want to finish the pond but it is to the benefit of the City for them to finish it. Levitt responded that there are a number of basins on the site and the ones that were most needed on the southeasterly part of their property were constructed, which enabled the Mississippi Dunes subdivision to develop and prevented some of the flooding of properties downstream on 103rd Street. The actual value to the City of these two large basins that are part of this grading permit has not been computed. Those stormwater basins have a substantial amount of volume and storage available to the City if future development takes place but the City is not relying only on these basins. Our surFace water management plan does take into account other low lying areas and systems of conveyance to the river, so in the next five years we do not need those basins to enable development. They would serve as a regional benefit to the city, but they are not required within the next five years to enable development to move forward. John Bailey, Bailey Nurseries, 1345 Bailey Road, Newport, stated that appreciates McCool's summary about the future plans. They don't have a timetable to move forward. They used some of the aggregate and limestone coming out of those reservoirs on other properties. The business has changed a lot in the last 10 years, so their timetable is different than it was 10 Planning Commission Minutes July 28, 2014 Page 3 of 10 years ago. He stated some of the remediation efforts and dust control were clearly insufficient, so Rumpca has been watering and has put on a heavy coating of calcium chloride to mitigate dust issues. They have also swept the paved road around the eastern edge of the property. Johnson asked for information on calcium chloride and if it would harm groundwater. Bailey stated that it is a type of salt. Levitt explained the City of Cottage Grove uses the same product on Grey Cloud Trail to control dust. It is a common practice used by the Department of Trans- portation, counties, and cities across the state so there are no groundwater concerns with the product they are applying. Rostad asked about the timelines for the materials they have stockpiled and when that will be processed and moved off site. Brad Rumpca, Rumpca Excavating, 1045 36th Street, Hastings, stated that on page 18 of the staff report it states that "two stockpiles of recycled material must be removed from the site by December 31." They are expecting that to be gone by the end of August. They do not foresee any problems removing the other piles. Rostad asked if their application was to bring in more materials. McCool responded that was the original application; staff is recommending that they not haul any more material to the site for processing. The only material they can process is the existing stockpiles of concrete and asphalt. Those stockpiles will be removed by the end of this year and no additional material can be hauled in to the site, but the existing material can be hauled off-site. Graf asked where the processing for the northwest ponding would take place. Rumpca stated that is unknown at this time. Rostad opened the public hearing, No one spoke. Rostad c/osed the public hearing. Rostad asked if Barr is contracted by Bailey Nurseries and Rumpca Excavating or by the City. McCool responded Bailey Nurseries. Rostad asked about the grade. McCool explained that the grade of the slope on the east side is steeper than what the grading plan had proposed. The City is not requiring them to replenish that material along that slope because of the results of the study. Levitt stated that the area the residents were most concerned with is the open area where the excavation is occurring, which is about a 1:1 slope. It is granular material. Our anticipation, since the applicant needs to bring material in to grade that area, is that they should be able to achieve the proper slope in order to mitigate any concerns the residents may have. Based on the Barr report, staff does not see any reason to have to go back and add additional fill to that area. We anticipate that they will be able to achieve the grading plan elevations on the open. Wehrle made a motion to approve the modified version of the excavating plan with the 22 conditions in the staff report. Imdieke seconded, Graf thanked City staff for the thorough job they did answering the questions from the last meeting. Motion passed unanimously (6-to-0 vote). Planning Commission Minutes July 28, 2014 Page 4 of 10 6.3 Swandlund Property Concept Plan — Case C2014-021 Eagle Cove Land Co., LLC has applied for a concept plan review of a proposed residential subdivision consisting of 374 lots for single family homes on a gross area of 160 acres located on the northwest corner of 95th Street and Hadley Avenue. Burbank summarized the staff report. He asked the Planning Commission to provide feedback and comments on the proposed concept plan and to recommend approval subject to the con- ditions stipulated in the staff report. Steve Bona, Riverstone Land Development, Eagle Cove Land Company, 14015 Sunfish Lake Boulevard, Ramsey, stated that they are working with Loucks Associates, who provided the landscape architecture and engineering on the overall design; Paul Kangas, Landscape Architect, who will help with the presentation; and Jeff Shopek, Professional Engineer, who can answer any engineering questions. Bona described the existing conditions of the property they are looking to develop including the bluff area and the tree stands, which influenced how they started planning their proposed development. He displayed the proposed master plan. Paul Kangas, 7200 Hemlock Lane, Maple Grove, discussed the park amenities that would be part of the development, and described the stormwater plans, main entrance features, the layout of the greenway areas, tree mitigation, and the future 95th Street alignment. Bona dis- cussed the development phasing. He described the HOA buffer area, which includes the trail and fencing along Hadley Avenue. Kangas provided examples of the home styles they are planning to build. He also discussed the flexibility of the proposed PDO design. Johnson asked about the extra traffic that would result from the development, the need for a traffic study, and what would need to be done to ensure traffic flows correctly. Bona responded that the Environmental Assessment Worksheet (EAW), which is currently underway, includes a traffic study. He stated that 95th Street and Hadley Avenue are proposed to be increased in size and the timing will be correlated with this project. Johnson asked who would pay for any improvements that need to be made. Bona responded that there will be cost sharing between the developer and the City; they are putting in a large number of homes so a portion of the costs to improve Hadley and 95th Street falls on the developer. The developer stated costs would be shared proportionately based on how many vehicles would coming from the new development compared to current traffic levels. Johnson expressed concern that the proposed park is too small and only has a playground area. Bona stated that the park was discussed with the City's Parks Director, and his suggestion was to have a smaller overlook park tied to the terminus of the east-west corridor, without playfields or basketball courts. They may have to adjust the off-street parking and perhaps adding additional buffer area. The proposed park sits at the top of a natural draw, so the goal is to have pergolas or shade structures with seating opportunities overlooking the dramatic views and picnic areas. Johnson suggested that open space should be added to include play fields like parks in other developments in the City. Bona stated that has not been discussed with the Parks Director but there are active ball fields at the elementary school across Hadley Avenue. Graf asked why the primary entrance is the farthest one from Highway 61. Bona responded that is related to phasing of the project. The north-south collector street is shown in the City's comprehensive plan. For the purpose of this development, that will be one of the last areas to Planning Commission Minutes July 28, 2014 Page 5 of 10 develop. The entrance locations were proposed to align with existing streets, including the school entrance if possible. Rostad asked where that access would be in relation to the cul-de-sac. Bona pointed out the location of the school access, noting that they could adjust the cul-de-sac to either dip to the south or tweak it to maintain safe stacking distances and street offsets. Rostad stated that the intersection adjoining with 92nd Street could potentially cause sight line issues with the drive- ways of the two lots at that intersection with Hadley. Bona stated that they will continue to work with staff on that. Graff asked if the price points for these homes would be similar to Mississippi Dunes. Bona responded that the homes they are currently building in Mississippi Dunes are in the $350,000 to $360,000 range and have been consistently selling; they don't see values being lower than that and hope with the improvements they are making the property will take it to the next level. Graf asked about fencing along Hadley Avenue and 95th Street, as staff recommended a 30- foot HOA maintenance area and the developers propose a 15-foot HOA area with fencing to be placed at the top of the berm. Bona stated staff's recommendation is the same as Missis- sippi Dunes. They are proposing a privacy fence instead, noting that this is the first time staff has seen this proposal. Graf stated he would like to see a more natural barrier such as more deciduous trees along with the evergreens that are there. Bona offered to send an email to the Commission showing a development in Lakeville that has fencing similar to what they are proposing. He noted that it would take time for plantings to mature enough to offer screening. Graf added even if there is a fence, his preference would be to mix in deciduous trees along those corridors. Rostad stated that the Commission will want to see more detailed plans showing where the fences would be located. Johnson asked if they have talked to the school district yet regarding this development. Bona responded no, explaining that school districts are contacted when the preliminary plat appli- cation is submitted. Johnson expressed concern about how this will affect the schools and busing. I Imdieke asked if the property owners butting up against the berm fence will be required to ! have the same privacy fence if they enclose their entire yards. She also would like to see more landscaping and an architectural type look to the fence, noting that there is stone fencing along Radio Drive in Woodbury. She stated that she would like to see the proposed sidewalks be pulled forward as this area is close to the school. She appreciates that they are taking into consideration tree preservation, especially on the northern side to ensure those homes con- tinue to have some privacy. She then suggested adding benches in the longer part of the park corridor from east to west and more usable space at the park. Bona stated that they have ideas for benches throughout the park but they have not yet received the Parks Director's final input on park amenities. He stated that there will be restrictions on the kind of fencing allowed. One benefit of the privacy fence they are proposing along Hadley is that the backyards will not be visible from the road. The fence style has not been determined yet, and any fencing resi- dents put up could abut the HOA fence; this would avoid double fences. He noted that the developer would control the HOA until the development is completed to ensure all the rules are adhered to. Planning Commission Minutes July 28, 2014 Page 6 of 10 Johnson suggested adding Lots 113 to 114 to the park so that the school's park does not take on the burden from the extra houses. Bona stated that they would continue that discussion with the Parks Director. Rostad noted that there is still work to be done on the design and route for 95th Street and encouraged the developer and city staff to continue working on that. Rostad opened the public hearing. Mike DeMars, 7032 90th Street South, stated that his concern is traffic and noise. He asked how many vehicles go through the intersection of Hadley Avenue and 90th Street, noting that the majority of residents from Mississippi Dunes use Hadley Avenue. The noise from the traffic is unbearable. He knows a lot of people live by Grenadier and they are going to have a similar situation. He finds it interesting that a privacy noise fence is proposed and asked what the existing residents should do. The City created this problem by allowing all of the development south of 90th Street. None of those residents wants to take 95th Street. He believes it is ridic- ulous to send 5,000 cars a day through a residential neighborhood. Bob Dornsbach, 6727 90th Street South, stated Grenadier, which is a dead-end road, would not be able to handle all that traffic if it is extended. He asked if there is going to be a berm along the north side where the trees are being saved, would the value of their homes go up or down from this development, and if there are only going to be two entrances into the develop- ment or is Grenadier going to opened. Jason Eiden-Giel, 9425 Dunes Lane South, asked if the jog on 95th Street from the four-lane part east of Hadley to the new part of 95th Street on the west will be fixed. Levitt responded that the design of that intersection has been a safety issue and precluded the school allowing students to walk to school from that area. Essentially, right now the current roadway is really the south lanes of 95th Street, and the north lanes will be constructed as part of the develop- ment. The northern portion of 95th Street will be a boulevard-style roadway that will align with the east side of 95th Street. This development needs to occur to make that correction because the city needs the right-of-way. Eiden-Giel asked does the south side of 95th Street line up from the east and west side of Hadley. �evitt stated that ultimately the four lanes will connect appropriately at that intersection. Eiden-Giel asked if the line of trees will divide the east and west sides of 95th Street. Levitt stated there was a plan for those trees to be in the center island, but after reviewing the condition of those trees, it is not feasible, so that tree stand would be lost with the development of that roadway. Eiden-Giel asked if that is necessary or is it just for aesthetic purposes, noting that it would eat into both his yard and the development to the north. Levitt explained when those developments took place and the 95th Street align- ment was designed, there was a master plan for how 95th Street would look, which was con- tingent upon development that was pending on the western part of the City's border. As a part of that discussion, the ultimate design became part of our transportation comprehensive plan. She stated that 95th Street will be extended with a center island but there is enough right-of- way dedicated as part of the Mississippi Dunes plat that his property would not be impacted. Eiden-Giel asked if the timing of this development is dependent or sequenced after completion of the Mississippi Dunes development. Levitt stated no. Eiden-Giel stated that he does not want to see a half completed Capstone-led development right across the street from a massive Planning Commission Minutes July 28, 2014 Page7of10 development and believes that Mississippi Dunes should be completed first. He asked if there is parkland dedicated in the Mississippi Dunes development. McCool responded there is no dedicated park space but there is open space that is part of a stormwater basin internal to that plat. Eiden-Giel asked what the acreage is of Mississippi Dunes. McCool does not recall the exact acreage but believes there is about 80 acres with a total of 134 units, which includes the multiple family portion. Eiden-Giel stated that he would like to see consistency of the fencing and berm between the north and south sides of 95th. He does not want a big white fence across the street, and expressed concern that there is no ability to create that same level of privacy. He also stated that the further south that street is routed would the benefit the north side community at the detriment to the south side. He asked when during development would the entire extension of 95th Street and its alignment would happen. Levitt responded that the city is proposing to fully reconstruct the 95th Street extension from Hadley to its reference on the drawing as the parkway section. The part that would go undeveloped would be from the parkway section to the west toward the curve. The City is proposing that the necessary trails along that bluff line be installed as part of the development. Eiden-Giel asked if that would be on the north side or south side. Levitt responded that at this time it is proposed that the con- nection be made on an interim basis until the roadway is in place so that transportation trail would be in place on the northern line to enable a safe crossing at the intersection instead of mid-block. Graf commented that the curve of 95th Street happens well west of Mississippi Dunes property � so whether that curve is shallow or not would have no bearing on the Mississippi Dunes de- velopment. Eiden-Giel explained that his concern is more about the amount and placement of construction materials. His house would be one or two lots down from the southwest corner of the new development. Graf noted that his lot is almost six lots east of the corner of the pro- posed development. Eiden-Giel stated that if you look at it, the lots in Mississippi Dunes stop about where the lots on the north side of the proposed development start to get wider. Graf stated that the curve of 95th Street happens well past the two corner lots of Mississippi Dunes so he does not think that will affect any Mississippi Dunes properties. Also the drawing of the proposed development shows that the curve of 95th Street, even when it is to the south, is all on the new development and not south of the existing line of 95th Street. Staff displayed a map of that area. Eiden-Giel pointed out his lot, which is right where it starts to turn. He feel this could have an impact on his and his neighbors' enjoyment of the valley view, which would be taken away from the residents in Mississippi Dunes in favor of the new development. Rostad noted that there would not be any additional right-of-way taken from his lot as it was established in the correct place when the Mississippi Dunes development was platted. Eiden- Giel stated that the available scenic area from this corner of Mississippi Dunes is shifted to the new development which will also have a beautiful park. Greg Seppelt, 9430 Hale Avenue South, does not want a six-foot tall white privacy fence along Hadley Avenue blocking that community off from the rest of the city and the fence should match the one around Mississippi Dunes. He expressed concern about traffic, noting that from 92nd Street south the speed limit is currently 40 miles per hour and asked that it be lowered to at least 30 miles per hour to help with traffic noise. He asked if Hadley would be a four-lane road or a two-lane road with turn lanes and about the proposed timeframe for the development. Tom Scharber, 6563 90th Street South, asked about maintenance of the existing easement in his backyard, what will happen with the overhead wires, and who decides which trees stay. Planning Commission Minutes July 28, 2014 Page 8 of 10 Rostad explained that the developer will submit a tree mitigation plan when they apply for their preliminary plat that will show what their exact plans are. Scharber asked if the new houses will have underground utilities instead of the overhead lines and will the above ground lines stay, if the City is going to put up another water tower, and which part of Hadley Avenue will be upgraded. Levitt stated that the proposal for Hadley Avenue is a full-scale reconstruction from 90th Street to 100th Street. Scharber expressed concern about the amount of traffic on Hadley, particularly for kids walking to school in the winter. He asked if the new residents have to be in a homeowners association. Graff thanked everyone for their comments. She pointed out that this is an informational ap- plication and the developer will take into consideration all of these comments and bring back answers. She suggested that the developer set up a community forum with the neighboring homeowners. Johnson stated that the amount of traffic on Hadley could be from residents utilizing busi- nesses around 80th Street and Highway 61 on their way to and from their destinations. He then stated that there should be a uniform fence that is maintained by the homeowners asso- ciation instead of different fences for each property. Olsen stated that he appreciates all of the feedback tonight and agrees that he supports the developer hosting a neighborhood meeting to ask for additional feedback and he could serve as a sounding board for the Council's point of view. Aubre Rabe, 7015 90th Street South, expressed concern about traffic volumes as she has a hard time backing out of her driveway, the safety of students walking to school, and the impact to her driveway if Hadley is widened. Levitt stated that the details are addressed during the preliminary and final design of the road improvement project and specifically address transi- tions and existing properties. She explained that this is just a concept plan to receive feedback from the public and to provide information to staff so they can work with the developer and carry that forward to Council. The details will be addressed with the preliminary plat and the preliminary and final designs for the roadways and utilities. Rabe stated that one solution to traffic volumes is to expand the road, noting that which right now she has a difficult time getting out of her driveway. Rostad stated that staff will look at issues such as traffic flows, water towers, etc. and will work with the developer to come up with a functional and safe plan. Graff stated that she has dealt with the City on a similar issue and wanted to reassure the residents that the City will work with you to come up design options. Rick Rugless, 9551 Dunes Avenue South, asked if the notification for the town meeting will be sent to the same list that got the public hearing notice, when would the meeting occur, and how serious will the developers listen to the neighbors' feedback. He stated that the tree line along 95th Street is a nice natural barrier but a white plastic fence will be hideous. He noted that a homeowners association was created for the Mississippi Dunes development with the first phase in 2006; he moved in during the last part of phase two in 2009 and has not paid any association dues. He also stated that many of the double fences were put up because some of the steel fencing along the roadway was only finished about a year and a half ago and that some of the HOA area is not maintained so all the residents mow around the pine trees along 95th Street. Planning Commission Minutes July 28, 2014 Page 9 of 10 No one else spoke, Rostad closed the public hearing. Bona stated that they do not own the Mississippi Dunes project and were not the developer, they have only built some homes there, so they have no control over finishing that develop- ment or its HOA. That is why they moved on to the property to the north. Their schedule to start the project site development work would be in spring 2015. The existing trees on the north side next to the existing neighborhood are proposed to stay. Underground utilities would be installed throughout the neighborhood; there will be no overhead lines. A management company will manage the homeowners association. They will get the notification list from the City to the residents to the neighborhood meeting. Imdieke asked if the trees on the north would become a part of the HOA and maintained as part of that agreement. Bona responded that the trees would remain and the area could be cleaned up to make the individual lots marketable. The trees would be on the lot and owned by the homeowners. Imdieke asked if the underbrush and overgrowth would be taken care of as those lots are developed. Bona stated that would be done as each house in built. Imdieke asked if the utilities that would run the entire length of the property. Bona responded yes. Imdieke asked about burying the utility lines. Bona responded that the existing overhead line services the existing homes and would remain in place because the utility companies probably will not bury it. The utilities for the new lots will be buried underground. The power company maintains the easement under the power line. Bona stated that if they start site development work in the spring of 2015, they anticipafe that they will start building homes following street completion. Rostad stated that at some of the current developments the model home was constructed within a few months of having the first roads for the development started. Graff requested that the Planning Commission be notified of the neighborhood meeting in addition to Councilmember Olsen. Graff made a motion to recommend approval of the concept plan, subject to the condi- tions stipulated in the staff report, and to continue working with staff and the neighbors. � Graf seconded. Graf wanted to acknowledge everybody for sharing their concerns. It is very important to the Commission, Council, and staff as well as to the developers. He hopes that resolutions can be found to most of the questions and concerns. Imdieke encourages everyone who has concerns to continue to follow this process. If your issues are not addressed during the discussion, please feel free to come back to discuss them with the Commission. Rostad stated that they can also contact City staff with questions. Johnson stated that in order to bring certain businesses or amenities to the City that citizens want, development and growth are part of that process. While the City tries to work with everybody, there are certain things that have to be done to achieve what is wanted. Motion passed unanimously (6-to-0 vote). Planning Commission Minutes July 28, 2014 Page 10 of 10 Discussion Items None Approval of Planning Commission Minutes of June 23, 2014 Imdieke made a motion to approve the minutes from the June 23, 2014, Planning Com- mission meeting. Graff seconded. Motion passed unanimously (6-to-0 vote).

Levitt stated that notices will be mailed tomorrow to 600 residents in that area. The scheduled bid award is August 20 and construction is anticipated to start after Labor Day with substantial completion by mid-October. Rostad asked if there is anything going in the former G-Will Liquors space. Levitt responded not at this time. Johnson asked if Rainbow Foods is closed. Olsen responded that they closed last Tuesday. Adjournment Graf made a motion to adjourn the meeting. Imdieke seconded. Motion passed unani- mously (6-to-0 vote). The meeting adjourned at 9:53 p.m.
