RE: Otsego — Emerson Pointe; Preliminary Plat/PUD-CUP
REPORT DATE: 15 November 2017
ACTION DATE: 23 December 2017
TPC FILE: 101.02
BACKGROUND
D.R. Horton has submitted an application for development of 20.0 acres located west of
Quaday Avenue and north of 70th Street (CSAH 38) with of 50 single family lots. The City
Council on 13 April 2009 had approved a PUD-CUP/Preliminary Plat to be known as River Ridge
consisting of 132 townhouse dwelling units. That PUD-CLIP/preliminary plat is now expired and
the approval void. The proposed development requires consideration of applications for a
Zoning Map amendment, PLID-CUP, and preliminary plat. A public hearing to consider the
applications has been noticed for the Planning Commission meeting on 20 November 2017.
Exhibits:
A. Site Location Map
B. Emerson Pointe Preliminary Plat Submittal dated 10/24/17 (9 sheets)
ANALYSIS
Zoning. The subject site is zoned A-1, Agriculture Rural Service District in accordance with the
interim land use plan policies of the 2012 Comprehensive Plan. The proposed development
requires consideration of a Zoning Map amendment rezoning the subject site to R-5, Residential
Single and Two -Family District, which allows single family dwellings on lots a minimum of 60
feet wide as a permitted use. A PUD -CUP is also being processed with the preliminary plat to
allow for an adjustment of the minimum lot width required for corner lots, as explained in
subsequent paragraphs. Consideration of the Zoning Map amendment and PUD -CLIP is to be
based upon (but not limited to) the following criteria established by the Zoning Ordinance:
The proposed action's consistency with the specific policies and provisions of the Otsego
Comprehensive Plan.
Comment: The 2012 Otsego Comprehensive Plan includes the subject site within the East
Sewer District and guides the area for medium -to -high density residential uses. The
proposed subdivision of singlefamily lots is consistent with the goals outlined by the
Comprehensive Plan that housing in Otsego be developed primarily as single family
neighborhoods.
2. The proposed use's compatibility with present and future land uses of the area.
Comment: The subject site is surrounded by the following existing and/or planned land
uses shown in the table below.

The single family lots proposed to be subdivided within the subject site are similar in
character with the single family lots that have been approved for development to the
south as part of the Boulder Pass preliminary plat. The undeveloped properties to the
north and west are also likely to develop in the future with small lot single family, two-
family, orless intense townhouse uses, All of the development west of Quaday Avenue
that has been approved, proposed, or is guided to develop in the future will be
compatible.
3. The proposed use's conformity with all performance standards contained within the
Zoning Ordinance and other provisions of the City Code.
Comment: The proposed preliminary plat will comply with all applicable development
regulations unless specifically modified by the PUD -CUP.
4. Traffic generation of the proposed use in relation to capabilities of streets serving the
property.
Comment: The subject site is accessed via Quaday Avenue. Quaday Avenue is
designated by the 2012 Transportation Plan as a residential collector street. Theexisting
street has adequate capacity to accommodate the traffic that will be generated by the
preliminary plat.
5. The proposed use can be accommodated by existing public services and facilities and
will not overburden the City's service capacity.
0A
Comment: The subject site is located within the East Sewer District where the City
anticipates development of urban uses as guided by the Comprehensive Plan and
provision of services in support of such development. The proposed preliminary plot can
be accommodated by existing City services.
Shoreland Overlay District. The subject site is within the Shoreland Overlay District of a
natural environment lake located to the west of the subject site. The boundaries of the
Shoreland Overlay District must be shown on the preliminary plat. Section 20-95-2 of the
Zoning Ordinance provides that the subject property may be exempted from the provisions of
the Shoreland Overlay District due to a topographical divide between the subject site and
waterbody that directs stormwater from the subject site away from the waterbody.
Access. The preliminary plat is accessed from Quaday Avenue, which is designated by the 2012
Comprehensive Plan as a residential collector street. one access is located at the southeast
corner of the subject site and aligned with the existing Quaday Avenue/Quaker Avenue
intersection. The proposed access at the northeast corner of the subject site overlays the
common property line with the abutting parcel to the north providing access to both parcels at
a location aligned with the existing parking lot access to the VFW playfields on the east side of
QuadayAvenue. The two accesses with Quaday Avenue are spaced 915 feet apart, which
exceeds the minimum 500 foot spacing required by Section 21-7-7.N of the Subdivision
Ordinance. Street 4 within the preliminary plat also provides for future inter -neighborhood
connections to the north and west of the subject site.
Streets. All of the proposed single family lots will be accessed by local public streets. The
proposed local streets are to be 28 feet wide with concrete curb and gutter within a 60 -foot -
wide right-of-way. A five-foot concrete sidewalk is provided on one side of all streets. There is
one cul-de-sac street within the preliminary plat that conforms to the design specifications of
Section 21-7-6 of the Subdivision Ordinance and the Engineering Manual. Street names will be
established at the time of final plat approval in accordance with Section 21-7-7.0, of the
Subdivision Ordinance and the Wright County grid system. The north half of Street 5 is shown
as being on the abutting property to the north and constructed within a permanent street
easement. The developer must provide documentation of their right to convey the easement
to the City in conjunction with the preliminary plat. All street designs and construction plans
are subject to review and approval by the City Engineer.
Lot Requirements. The R-5 District establishes the following minimum lot requirements:
The lots within the preliminary plat comply with all of the above requirements except the
minimum lot width for corner lots. Lot 1, Block 2; Lot 1, Block 3; Lots 9, 12, and 17, Block 4 are

The lots within the preliminary plat comply with all of the above requirements except the
minimum lot width for corner lots. Lot 1, Block 2; Lot 1, Block 3; Lots 9, 12, and 17, Block 4 are
91
all corner lots that are approximately 78 feet in width. The discrepancy in the lot width occurs
because the City reduced the setback from the side yard of a corner lot from 35 feet to 25 feet
without changing the minimum lot width required for corner lots. With the reduced setback
requirements, a 78 foot wide corner lot will have the same building envelope as a 60 foot wide
interior lot. As the intent of the greater minimum lot width requirement for corner lots was to
provide an equal sized building envelope as a 60 foot wide interior lot, a reduction to a
minimum lot width of 78 feet for corner lots within the preliminary plat by PUD -CUP is
appropriate. City staff will include adjustment of the required minimum lot width for corner
lots within the R-5 District (and R-6 District) as part of a future Zoning Ordinance update.
Landscaping. Landscaping of at least two trees per lot is required to be planted in accordance
with Section 20-19-2.B.1 of the Zoning Ordinance, The submitted landscape plan illustrates
installation of 74 trees within the right-of-way along the public streets within the preliminary
plat plus one developer installed tree per lot, which exceeds the landscape requirements
established by the Zoning Ordinance. Section 20-19-3.B of the Zoning Ordinance also requires a
landscaping be installed along the rear lot lines of Block 3 abutting Quaday Avenue. The
landscape plan provides for installation of 14 shade trees and 37 evergreens within the buffer
yard area to comply with the requirements of the Zoning Ordinance. The types of proposed
trees are appropriate and the sizes of trees to be planted complies with Section 20-19-2.B.3 of
the Zoning Ordinance.
Park and Trail Dedication. The Future Parks and Trails System Plan included in the 2012
Comprehensive Plan included an area at the southeast corner of the preliminary plat as a
search area for possible park land acquisition. This park area was to serve the subject site as
well as the property to the south and townhouse dwellings to the east of Quaday Avenue
within The Pointe. The Pointe has since developed its own private recreation area. The subject
site will be anticipated to be served by neighborhood and community park facilities to the
northwest along LeFebvre Creek. No timetable is established for acquisition and development
of the community park facilities, but neighborhood park facilities have been constructed within
the Boulder Creek development and a connection will be made when Boulder Pass is
developed. Park and trail dedication requirements for the preliminary plat of the subject site
will be satisfied by payment of a cash fee in lieu of land calculated on a per lot basis at the time
of final plat approval.
Grading and Drainage Plan. The developer has submitted grading and drainage plans for the
proposed preliminary plat. Grading for the proposed preliminary plat is shown extending into
the abutting property to the west to cut the existing hill that rises across the property line. The
developer must submit documentation of a temporary easement allowing grading of the
abutting property as shown on the grading plan. Section 21-7-15 of the Subdivision requires
that storm water basins and wetlands be included within outlots platted and deeded to the
City. Outlot A along the south line of the subject site includes a stormwater basin to be
developed adjacent to existing City stormwater facilities and Outlot A will be deeded to the
City. All grading, drainage and erosion control issues are subject to review and approval by the
City Engineer.
4
Utility Plan. The developer has submitted utility plans for extension of sanitary sewer and
water utilities to serve the proposed lots. All utility plans and issues are subject to review and
approval of the City Engineer. The developer will be required to pay the Sewer and Water
Availability Charges in effect at the time of final plat approval.
Drainage and Utility Easements. Drainage and utility easements are shown to be dedicated at
the perimeter of all lots and over stormwater facilities as required by Section 21-7-15.A of the
Subdivision Ordinance. All drainage and utility easements are subject to review and approval of
the City Engineer.

SUBDIVISION CONFIGURATION, LOT SIZE, DENSITY
Emerson Pointe will be the first subdivision in this area of Quaday Avenue and does not
tic into any existing developments. The current configuration appears to provide
reasonable street and utility connection locations for developing future adjacent

PRELIMINARY GRADING, DRAINAGE, AND EROSION CONTROL
PLAN
12. The grading plan and street profiles depict Street 4 ending approximately 12 feet below
the existing ground elevation. The profile shows this street continuing to the west at 2%
creating even more significant cuts. Provide verification that this street is a feasible
option for developing the adjacent property.
13. The grading plans show grading onto the property to the west. Written permission from
the adjacent property owner shall be provided to allow this.
14. 4' berm(s)s shall be provided in the rear yards along Quaday Avenue.
15. The rear yards of Lots 1-4, Block 3 flow into Quaday Avenue?
16. The proposed contours shall be labeled.
PRELIMINARY UTIELITY PLAN
17. A connection to the existing watermain on the east side of Quaday Avenue at the
intersection of Quaday Avenue and Street 1 is required. This will need to be done by
directionally drilling under Quaday Avenue.
18. A watermain loop shall be provided between Lots 5 and 6, and Lots 20 and 21, Block 4.
19. A watermain stub shall be provided to the south property line along the west property line
of Lot 25, Block 4.
20. Hydrant coverage of 250' radius is necessary. Lot 4, Block 2 and Lots 14 and 15, Block 4
do not meet this requirement.
21. Ground water was encountered 7' below existing surface in geotechnical report. Final
plans shall- note which, if any, hydrants will need to be plugged.
SURFACE WATER MANAGEMENT
22. It appears that the post -development offsite, discharge rates are at or less than pre -
development per City requirements. It also appears that the site will meet the required
infiltration rates as required by the City and NPDES permit. The location of the
groundwater elevation may need further evaluation with respect to the infiltration area.
23. Storm sewer design and hydrology is still under review, any additional comments will
follow.
WETLAND
24, The Wetland Determination Report, dated 9/19/17, has been received and under review.
