Economic Development Authority Development Update November 4, 2020 Page 5 of 7 Planning Division Planning Commission Meeting — October 26, 2020 The Planning Commission met on October 26, 2020, and reviewed the following applications: 8811 92nd Street — Minor Subdivision: The property owner of 8811 92nd Street applied for a minor subdivision to allow for the land split of their 1.85 -acre parcel into a 0.784 -acre parcel for future commercial development and a 1.066 -acre parcel that would include the existing commercial building. The parcel was platted in 2000 as part of the Pine Grove of Cottage Grove plat, which is a mixed-use development PUD allowing for a commercial and residential townhome development. The approved plat originally allowed construction of two commercial buildings on the 8811 92nd Street parcel. One of the buildings was constructed in 2001, but the second was never constructed. Given the current commercial market, the property owner is requesting the minor subdivision to create an individual developable parcel to either be sold for development or to develop and sell separately. 1F. a Target ON Wells Fargo Location Menards Plat The Commission unanimously (6 -to -0 vote) recommended approval. The request will be heard at the November 4, 2020, City Council meeting. 61 Marine — Minor Subdivision: 61 Marine & Sports applied for a minor subdivision to subdivide a 32.48 -acre parcel of land at the corner of Manning Avenue and Highway 61 into two parcels.

Glacial Valley Estates — Preliminary Plat/Zoning Amendment: Donnay Homes applied for a pre- liminary plat and zoning amendment for an 18.95 -acre property located just west of Keats Avenue and north of the Military Trail Corridor. The proposed project would be for 100 townhome units and would meet the minimum required density for the guided medium density properties, with a pro- posed net density of 10.29 units per acres. The proposed zoning amendment would rezone the 18.95 -acre project area from R-5, Medium Density Residential, to R-5, Medium Density Residential, with a PUD, Planned Unit Development, allowing for flexibility in development requirements. As part of the project the applicant will construct a trail segment along Keats Avenue extending to the northern property line of the site. A sidewalk connection will also be made to the Historic Military Trail Corridor. As required by the County, the developer will install a turn lane off Keats Avenue into the development. All common areas will be owned and maintained by the HOA and the storm pond outlot will be required to be deeded to the City for long term maintenance. a,tf�}��WNi •I ENM�MMMliff.�q.y� - � I�7H..

Economic Development Authority Development Update November 4, 2020 Page 7 of 7 Landscape Ordinance Amendment: The City proposed an ordinance amendment to rescind and replace the Landscape section of the Zoning Code and amend the Street Tree section of the Sub- division ordinance. These amendments are an effort to provide more clarification to all landscape requirements for development into one section. The proposed amendments combine the street tree standards into the landscape section of the Code as well as arrange the landscape minimum standards in a way that are easily deciphered by staff and developers. Staff evaluated the existing standards to recently approved projects given the community has not seen townhome or apartment development in many years. The proposed minimum standards would align the requirements with recently approved projects to substantially maintain landscaping within higher density areas to ensure the landscape will mature and survive long term. There are no adjustments to the minimum standards for single-family developments. The Commission voted 6 -to -0 to recommend approval of the amendments. They will be heard at the November 18, 2020, City Council meeting. CIP 2021-2025: Public Works Director Ryan Burfeind gave an update and overview of the 2021- 2025 Capital Improvement Plan (CIP). The CIP is a planning document as part of the City's Com- prehensive Plan providing an estimate of funds needed for land acquisition and construction of public buildings, parks, utilities, and streets. Over the five-year period of the plan, the proposed projects are a total of $110.5 million. The goal of the plan is to create a balance in the amount of capital spending to provide a predictable demand on staff resources and consistency in capital funding. The Commission recommended approval of the CIP for 2021-2025 on a vote of 6 -to -0. The City Council will take final action at their December 2, 2020, meeting.
