BACKGROUND
ITEM 3.1
D.R. Horton, Inc. Minnesota has submitted plans to develop 67 single family lots within a 42.4
acre parcel. The preliminary plat is titled Magnolia Landing. The subject site abuts the north
side of 60th Street (CR 137) and is east of MacIver Avenue. The proposed subdivision requires
applications for a Zoning Map amendment and a preliminary plat. A public hearing to consider
the applications has been noticed for the Planning Commission meeting on 16 July 2018.

■ Site Location Map
• Preliminary Plat Submittal dated 06/19/18 (13 sheets)
ANALYSIS
Zoning. The subject site is zoned A-1, Agriculture Rural Service District. The proposed
preliminary plat requires a Zoning Map amendment to rezone the subject site to R-5,
Residential Single and Two Family District. The proposed single family lots are a permitted use
within the R-5 District. Consideration of the Zoning Map amendment is to be based upon (but
not limited to) the criteria outlined in Section 11-4-2.F of the Zoning Ordinance:
The proposed action's consistency with the specific policies and provisions of the Otsego
Comprehensive Plan.
Comment: The 2012 Comprehensive Plan guides the subject site for medium -to -high
density residential land uses within the West Sewer District. As single family
neighborhoods are to be the primary residential form in Otsego, development of the
subject site with small -lot single family dwellings is consistent with the policies of the
Comprehensive Plan.
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 planned land
uses shown in the table below. The proposed single family dwellings will be compatible
with surrounding uses.

3. The proposed use's conformity with all performance standards contained within the
Zoning Ordinance and other provisions of the City Code.
Comment: The preliminary plat complies with the requirements of the Zoning Ordinance,
Subdivision Ordinance, and Engineering Manual.
4. Traffic generation of the proposed use in relation to capabilities of streets serving the
property.
Comment: The preliminary plat will have access to 60th Street (CR 137), which is
designated as a major collector street by the 2012 Comprehensive Plan. As currently
constructed, 60th Street (CR 137) has adequate capacity to accommodate traffic generated
by the proposed development.
5. The proposed use can be accommodated by existing public services and facilities and will
not overburden the City's service capacity.
Comment: - The preliminary plat is within the West Sewer District where the City
anticipates urban development to be provided public services. There is adequate public
service capacity to support the preliminary plat.
Streets. The subject site abuts 601h Street (CR 137), which is designated by the Transportation
Plan as a major collector street. The Northeast Wright County Transportation Study calls for
60th Street (CR 137) to be a two-lane roadway through 2040. The preliminary plat provides for
dedication of 75 feet of right of way for the north half of 60th Street. Access to 601h Street (CR
2
137) is limited to % mile for full intersections and 1/8 mile for right-in/right-out intersections.
The intersection of Street to 60th Street (CR 137) is approximately 1,100 feet east of MacIver
Avenue and approximately 1,600 feet west of MacAlister Avenue. Right-of-way dedication and
the location of the intersection of Street 1 with 60th Street (CR 137) is subject to Wright County
approval.
Local streets within the preliminary plat are provided 60 feet of right-of-way with a 28 foot
wide street section and a five foot wide sidewalk on one side. The internal local streets connect
to the adjacent Otsego Preserve and Zimmer Farms subdivisions at temporary dead -ends on the
north and west plat lines, respectively. The developer will be required to remove the
temporary cul-de-sac on Marshal Avenue, extend street with curb and sidewalk to 63rd Street,
and restore the yards and boulevard. Marshall Avenue and Street 2 within the preliminary plat
are extended to provide for future subdivision of the exception parcel at the southwest corner
of the subject site as required by the 10-7-5.E of the Subdivision Ordinance.
There are two cul-de-sac streets within the preliminary plat that are allowed subject to Section
10-7-6.A of the Subdivision Ordinance limiting cul-de-sac streets to areas affected by physical
barriers. The proposed cul-de-sacs are necessary due to the large wetland area within the east
portion of the subject site. Construction of permanent cul-de-sacs is limited to 500 feet in
depth with a turnaround required at the closed end with a 60 foot right-of-way radius and 45
foot street section. No sidewalk is required on cul-de-sac streets, although a sidewalk is
proposed along the north side of 62nd Street to provide access to Outlot A. There is an
opportunity in the future to extend a trail through Outlot A between 62nd Street and a future
trail on 60th Street (CR 137). Lots fronting the cul-de-sac turnaround are typically required to
have a minimum width of 125 percent of the district minimum to ensure adequate lot frontage,
lot access, and area for snow storage. However, with Outlot A fronting on the majority of the
cul-de-sac turnaround there is adequate area for snow storage and access to the three lots that
abut the turnaround.
The developer has provided profile plans for all of the streets within the preliminary plat. The
proposed streets comply with the design specifications of Section 10-7-7 of the Subdivision
Ordinance and the standard plates of the Engineering Manual. The cost of all street signs is to
be paid for by the developer at the time of final plat approval. The developer must provide for
the installation and operation of street lights required by Section 8-8-4 of the City Code at
street intersections, cul-de-sac dead -ends, and midblock points longer than 900 feet at the time
of final plat approval. All street construction plans are subject to review and approval of the
City Engineer.
Lot Requirements. The table below outlines the lot requirements of the R-5 District. All of the
proposed lots comply with the minimum area and width requirements of the R-5 District.
Setbacks are shown on the preliminary plat as required within the R-5 District and allow a for an
adequate building envelope within each lot. The mean lot area is 13,029 square feet.
Lots 1-3, Block 3 and Lots 4 and 5, Block 4 do not meet the 40 foot wetland setback. The
wetland buffer has been averaged in these locations with a minimum depth of 10 feet. There
must be at least a 20 foot setback from the wetland buffer to the principal building to be
consistent with the intent of the Zoning Ordinance and rear yard setback requirement of the R-
5 District for usable rear yards.
Landscaping. Section 11-19-2.B.1 of the Zoning Ordinance requires a minimum of two trees be
planted per single family lot. The developer has provided a landscape plan indicating planting
107 trees along the local street boulevards, plus one tree planted by the builder after
construction of a house upon each lot. The total number of trees to be planted is 174, which
exceeds the requirements of the Zoning Ordinance by 40 trees. The type and sizes of proposed
trees comply with Section 11-19-2.8.3 of the Zoning Ordinance.
A landscape buffer yard is also required to be planted by Section 11-19-3.8 of the Zoning
Ordinance in the yards of the lots abutting 60th Street (CR 137). The landscape plan includes
planting 84 evergreen trees, 16 deciduous trees, and 15 ornamental trees for the required
buffer yard. The arrangement, type, and size of proposed plantings complies with the
requirements of Section 20-19-3.6.3 of the Zoning Ordinance.
Park and Trail Dedication. The 2012 Future Parks and Trails Plan does not identify acquisition
of land for public parks within the area of the subject site as Zimmer Farm Park is approximately
1,500 feet north of the preliminary plat. Park and trail dedication requirements will be satisfied
as a cash fee in lieu of land paid on a per lot basis. The cash fee in lieu of land will be the
amount in effect on the fee schedule at the time of final plat approval.
The developer is also proposing a private park on Outlot B located in the center of the
preliminary plat along Street 2. The preliminary plat illustrates a layout for a tennis/pickleball
court and gazebo. The structures will need to be setback 25 feet from the right-of-way for
Street 2 and 7 feet from the side lot lines. Documents establishing a homeowners association
to own and maintain Outlot B must be submitted with application for final plat approval and
are subject to review and approval by City staff.
Utility Plan. Trunk sewer and water utilities are available at the property. The developer has
provided a plan for extension of lateral sewer and water utilities to serve the preliminary plat.
The developer will remove the temporary lift station constructed at the southeast corner of
Otsego Preserves and relocate the facility to a permanent location the southeast corner of
Outlot A. The cost of construction for the permanent lift station will be a credit from sewer
availability charges. The developer will pay sewer and water availability charges at the time of
final plat approval. Payment of sewer and water connection charges will be paid at the time a
building permit is issued for each lot. The utility availability and connection charges will be
