BACKGROUND/JUSTIFICATION:
A preliminary plat and PUD -CUP was approved on 13 January 2013 to subdivide 19.2 acres located north of
77th Street and east of CSAH 19 into 47 single family lots. The subject site was previously final platted on
23 February 2005 for development of 209 townhouse units of which 131 were constructed and 78 not
constructed. The subject site also consists of two outlots preliminary platted as future phases of additional
townhouse units as part of Pleasant Creek Farms. A final plat for the 47 single family lot preliminary plat
was approved on 10 September 2018. However, the developer did not record the final plat within 100
days as required by Section 10-5-3.13.8 of the Subdivision Ordinance and the approval expired. Owner OP3
Pleasant Creek LLC has now submitted application to reestablish the preliminary plat/PUD-CUP for the 47
single family lot subdivision and a first phase final plat of 4 lots.
A public hearing to consider the applications has been held by the Planning Commission at their meeting
on 18 November 2019. Mr. John Bender of Westwood Professional Services was present on behalf of the
applicant. Mr. Bender agreed to the recommendations of City staff. Two residents of an adjacent 4 -unit
townhouse building had questions regarding the type of home and timing of development, which were
addressed by City staff. The Public Hearing was closed.
The Planning Commission discussed the expiration of the prior approvals. City staff explained the process,
fees/securities, and timing involved with final platting. There were no other questions or comments by the
Planning Commission. The Planning Commission voted 7 -Oto recommend City Council approval of the
applications.

RE: Otsego — Pleasant Creek Farms 6th Addition
TPC FILE: 101.02
BACKGROUND
A preliminary plat and PUD -CUP was approved on 13 January 2013 to subdivide 19.2 acres
located north of 77th Street and east of CSAH 19 into 47 single family lots. The subject site was
previously final platted on 23 February 2005 for development of 209 townhouse units of which
131 were constructed and 78 not constructed. The subject site also consists of two outlots
preliminary platted as future phases of additional townhouse units as part of Pleasant Creek
Farms. A final plat for the 47 single family lot preliminary plat was approved on 10 September
2018. However, the developer did not record the final plat within 100 days as required by
Section 10-5-3.13.8 of the Subdivision Ordinance and the approval expired. Owner OP3 Pleasant
Creek LLC has now submitted application to reestablish the preliminary plat/PUD-CUP for the
47 single family lot subdivision and a first phase final plat of 4 lots. A public hearing to consider
the applications has been noticed for the Planning Commission meeting on 18 November 2019.

ANALYSIS
Comprehensive Plan. The Comprehensive Plan guides the subject site for medium -to -high
density uses. Single family lots are an allowed use within these areas consistent with the City's
emphasis on single family dwellings the primary housing type in Otsego.
Zoning. The subject site is zoned R-6, Medium Density Residential, which allowed for the
townhouse development as preliminary platted on 14 April 2003. The R-6 District also allows
single family dwellings as a permitted use.
Surrounding Uses. The subject site is surrounded by the following existing and planned land
uses. The proposed Pleasant Creek Farms 61h Addition is compatible with the existing and
planned land uses surrounding the subject site.

Access. The subject site is accessed from 77th Street, east of LaBeaux Avenue (CSAH 19), which
also serves the Arbor Creek subdivision to the east. The roadway has adequate capacity for the
approved Pleasant Creek Farms subdivision and the proposed preliminary plat will result in a
substantial reduction in the traffic generated in this neighborhood.
Streets. The proposed preliminary plat includes extension of Lachman Avenue and Lambert
Avenue with an arrangement that is generally consistent with the approved preliminary plat of
Pleasant Creek Farms. The underlying right-of-way for streets within the preliminary plat was
vacated by the City Council on 10 September 2018. A temporary cul-de-sac is provided for
Lambert Avenue west of Lachman Avenue that could someday be extended through to the
LaBeaux Avenue (CSAH 19) frontage road if the existing one -acre single family lots are
redeveloped. A second cul-de-sac is added west of Lambert Avenue based on the configuration
of the undeveloped parcel and adjacent townhouse development plan.
The public streets are designed to be 28 feet wide with concrete curb and gutter consistent
with the Engineering Manual. It is noted that the preliminary plat approved for developed and
undeveloped portions of the townhouse subdivision provided for a 50 foot wide public right-of-
way. The City allows for 50 foot rights-of-way within townhouse developments because of the
drainage and utility easements overlying the common open space, but 60 feet of right-of-way is
required for single family neighborhoods and this is shown on the proposed preliminary plat for
Pleasant Creek Farms 6th Addition. All rights-of-way and street designs and construction plans
are subject to review and approval by the City Engineer.
OA
Street lighting is required by Title 8, Chapter 8 of the City Code to be installed at intersections,
the terminus of cul-de-sac streets, and the midpoint of blocks longer than 300 feet. The City
Engineer will determine the number and location of required street lights. The developer will
pay a fee for installation of the street lights with the development agreement.
Lot Requirements. The R-6 District establishes the following minimum lot requirements.
The proposed lots all exceed the minimum lot area and width requirements of the R-6 District.
The actual minimum lot width shown on the preliminary plat is 70 feet. The average area of
the 47 lots is 11,470 square feet. The proposed lots have adequate area within required
setbacks to allow for construction of single family dwellings. The setback required from 7711
Street is to be 35 feet to maintain consistency with the setbacks of existing townhouse and
single family dwellings within Pleasant Creeks Farms and Arbor Creek, respectively.
Sidewalks. The submitted preliminary plat includes sidewalks on one side of Lachman Avenue
and Lambert Avenue aligned with the location of existing sidewalks in the area. There is also
an existing bituminous trail that encroaches along the west side of Block 2 extending north
from 77th Street. This is a private trail that was to be part of the open space within the
townhouse development and is to be removed within the area of the Pleasant Creek Farms 6th
Addition preliminary plat.
Landscaping. Section 11-19-2.B.1 of the Zoning Ordinance requires two shade trees per lot to
be installed at the time of construction. No other landscaping is required for the proposed
preliminary plat. .
Utility Plan. The developer has submitted utility plans for extension of sanitary sewer and
water connections. The service lines were stubbed to the boundaries of the subject site and no
reconstruction of service lines previously installed based on the Pleasant Creek Farms 4th
Addition will be required. All utility plans and issues are subject to review and approval by the
City Engineer.
The developer will receive credit for the utility availability charges for the 62 townhouse
dwellings final platted within the subject site. No additional utility availability charges will be
required to be paid for the lots within the Pleasant Creek Farms 6th Addition preliminary plat.
The builder will be required to pay utility connection charges when a building permit is issued
for each single family dwelling based on the current fee in effect at that time.

The developer will receive credit for the utility availability charges for the 62 townhouse
dwellings final platted within the subject site. No additional utility availability charges will be
required to be paid for the lots within the Pleasant Creek Farms 6th Addition preliminary plat.
The builder will be required to pay utility connection charges when a building permit is issued
for each single family dwelling based on the current fee in effect at that time.
Grading, Drainage, and Erosion Control. The developer has submitted a grading plan and
updated stormwater information for the proposed preliminary plat, which is subject to review
and approval of the City Engineer. The existing open drainageway along the north boundary of
the site and the stormwater basin at the center of the preliminary plat are included within
outlots that will be required to be deeded to the City for on-going maintenance in accordance
with Section 10-7-12.1) of the Subdivision Ordinance.
Stormwater area charges were paid for the area of Pleasant Creek Farms 4th Addition final
platted for 209 townhouse units. However, stormwater area charges were not paid for Outlots
C and D, Pleasant Creek Farms 4th Addition. Stormwater area charges for Otsego Creek will be
due for these 9.21 acres at the time of each phased final plat approval for the areas of Outlots C
and D Pleasant Creek Farms 4th Addition based on the current fee in effect at that time.
Easements. Existing drainage and utility easements within the subject site were approved by
the City Council to be vacated on 10 September 2019. The preliminary plat provides perimeter
drainage and utility easements for each single family lot as required by Section 10-8-12.A of the
Subdivision Ordinance. Easements adequate for City access to Outlots A and B have also been
provided between Lots 3 and 4, Block 1 and from the townhouse base lot adjacent to Lot 14,
Block 3. All easements are subject to review and approval by the City Engineer.
Park Dedication. Park dedication requirements for Pleasant Creek Farms were to be satisfied
as a cash fee in lieu of land paid at the time of final plat approval. Park dedication fees were
paid for 209 units. The park dedication in lieu of land fee for the townhouse dwelling units not
constructed within the Pleasant Creek Farms 4th Addition will be applied as credit for the 47
single family lots within the proposed Pleasant Creek Farms 6th Addition preliminary plat. No
additional cash fee will be required to be paid for park dedication purposes.
Final Plat. The developer has submitted a final plat for the first phase of development to
consist of the 4 lots on the north side of 77th Street, west of Lambert Avenue. The balance the
subject will be platted as Outlots A, B, and C for future phases of development.
Development Agreement. The City Attorney will draft a development agreement related to
the proposed final plat in accordance with Section 10-10-4.A of the Subdivision Ordinance. The
Development Agreement is to be adopted by resolution of the City Council concurrent with the
final plat approval and executed prior to recording of the final plat. Section 10-5-3.B.8 of the
Subdivision Ordinance requires that the development agreement be executed and the final plat
be recorded within 100 days of City Council approval.
RECOMMENDATION
The proposed preliminary plat/PUD-CUP for Pleasant Creek Farms 61h Addition is an infill
development of an existing neighborhood. The proposed replatting of the approved
townhouse dwellings as single family lots provides for a desirable transition between the
existing townhouse dwellings of Pleasant Creek Farms and single family homes in Arbor Creek.

1. It has been clarified with the developer's engineer that only the 4 single family lots along the
north side of 77th Street are proposed to be platted/constructed at this time. The construction
and grading plans show the entire site and all roads being constructed without any phase or
construction limits indicated. Prior to construction or acceptance to of the final plat of just
Lots 1-4, Block 1 the associated plans shall be revised to indicated the actual construction
limits. We have only reviewed the submitted plans with only the necessary improvement
required to construct these lots in mind. Prior to construction of the next phase of
construction a "7th Addition" shall be platted and the improvements for that next addition
will be reviewed then.
PRELIMINARY PLAT
2. The previously submitted preliminary plat documents for Pleasant Creek Farms 5th Addition
(now called 6th Addition) were revised 12/19/13. It appears that the revised preliminary plat
addressed the engineering review dated 12/11/13 comments. The current Pleasant Creek
Farms 6th Addition is in general conformance with the previously approved preliminary plat.
FINAL PLAT
3. The easement over previously platted Outlot C (Pleasant Creek 4th Addition) is being vacated
as is some of previously platted Right -of -Way. The exhibits and descriptions appear to be
acceptable.
4. Lachman Avenue only has 50' of right-of-way shown. 50' matches the right-of-way to the
south along Lachman Avenue. 60' of right-of-way is being provided for Lambert Avenue
(non-townhome streets). All streets are to be public streets. Note, no street construction is
proposed with the 6th Addition plat/construction.
5. Round ROW at the Lambert Avenue and 77th Street intersection.

2nd Addition). It will be difficult to installed these 2 new services to the main lines in 77th
Street. The existing sanitary sewer is approx. 18' deep here which would require the entire
street width to be excavated and closed for a time. This is not a desirable option for the City.
Hakanson Anderson has had discussions with Westwood Professional Services and will
continue to work towards an option acceptable to the City, for servicing these 2 new lots.
STREET AND STORM SEWER CONSTRUCTION PLAN
12. Only the storm sewer from CB 527 to ex CBMH 18 at 77th Street needs to be installed with
these 4 lots. This line will be covered by the required drainage and utility easements or within
right-of-way.
13. Storm sewer design calculations dated 2/14/14 indicate that the additional storm water being
directed to the existing system will increase the existing downstream flow above the pipe
capacity for a 10 -yr storm event. Westwood Professional Services have submitted additional
calculations dated 8/31/19 showing that although the designed pipe capacity is exceeded by a
10 -yr storm event, even under a 100 -yr storm event, no structure is overtopped (i.e. hydraulic
grade line will not exceed the rim elevations). This is acceptable.

may, when reasonably required to do so by the City Engineer, and at the Developer's
expense, have one (1) or more City inspectors and a qualified engineer inspect the work.
Within thirty (30) days after the completion of the Improvements and before all retained
security is released, the Developer shall supply the City with a complete set of reproducible
"as constructed" and an electronic file of the "as constructed" plans in AutoCAD.DWG file
or a .DXF file, all prepared in accordance with City standards. Before the security for the

10. Dewatering. Due to the variable nature of groundwater levels and
stormwater flows, it will be the Developer's and the Developer's contractors' and
subcontractors' responsibility to satisfy themselves with regard to the elevation of
groundwater in the area and the level of effort needed to perform dewatering and storm
flow routing operations. All dewatering shall be in accordance with all applicable County,
State, and Federal rules and regulations. DNR regulations regarding appropriations permits
shall be strictly followed.
11. Time of Performance. The Developer shall install all Improvements by
December 31, 2020, with the exception of the final wear course of asphalt on streets. The
final wear course on streets shall be installed not later than October 15th and in accordance
with Section 17 of this Agreement. The Developer may request an extension of time from
the City to be submitted in writing to the City Clerk, for which said extension shall be
conditioned upon updating the security posted by Developer to reflect cost increases and the
extended completion date. Final wear course placement outside of the above time frame
must have the written approval of the City Engineer. The City may impose additional
conditions on the extension necessary to ensure performance.

construction is commenced or further building permits are issued, the Erosion Control Plan,
Plan B, shall be implemented by the Developer and inspected and approved by the City. If
4
the City Engineer determines that it would be unreasonable to require full implementation
of the Erosion Control Plan prior to utility construction or issuance of certain building
permits, the City Engineer shall state in writing what construction can take place and what
particular building permits can be issued prior to full implementation. The City may impose
additional erosion control requirements if, in the opinion of the City Engineer, they would
be beneficial to the Property, the City may impose, with notice to the Developer, additional
reasonable control measures. All areas disturbed by the excavation and backfilling
operations shall be reseeded forthwith after the completion of the work in that area. If the
Developer does not comply with the Erosion Control Plan and schedule or any
supplementary instructions, the City may, with reasonable notice and opportunity to cure,
take action as it deems appropriate.

construction work by the Developer, its agents or assigns.
16. Ownership of Improvements. Upon acceptance by the City Council of the
work and construction required by this Agreement, Improvements lying within public
easements and public right-of-way shall become City property without further notice or
action.
17. Streets. The Developer agrees to maintain the streets located within the Plat
until the base course bituminous surfacing has been accepted by the City. Should the City
be required to grade the street prior to paving, the cost of such grading shall be paid by the
Developer and drawn from the Developer's letter of credit. Should snow plowing be
necessary prior to street paving, the Developer shall be responsible for such plowing as may
be required by the Streets Supervisor. If, upon the Developer's request, the City agrees to
plow the street prior to acceptance, such work will be done upon agreement that the
s
Developer will hold harmless and indemnify the City from any and all liability claims
related to such work and pay all costs associated with that work. Any plowing undertaken
by the City will constitute no acceptance or evidence of acceptance of the street(s) in
question.
The final wear course shall not be constructed until at least one construction season
after the base construction is completed and shall be delayed one more construction
season if at least 75% build out is not achieved. However, the final wear course shall
not be delayed for a period longer than two years after the base course is paved,
regardless of build out; in which case, the Developer shall provide an escrow for fog
sealing the streets in the event the final wear course is placed prior to 75% build out.
Upon final completion of streets and acceptance by the City as a City street rather
than a private drive, the Developer shall guarantee to the City for a period of two (2)
years that the streets have been constructed to City standards. The warranty period
shall not commence until such time as street construction is completed and the
streets are accepted as City streets by the City. The two (2) year warranty set forth
above commences upon the date on which the City accepts the streets by resolution.
18. Sewage Treatment. No occupancy permit for any building within the Plat
will be issued by the City unless the Building Official has inspected both the sewer and
water connections to the building and has certified that they have been constructed
satisfactorily in accordance with City specifications and the City Code.

signs is set forth in the Financial Summary, Exhibit B.
27. Street Light Construction. The Developer shall pay for the operation and
maintenance of the street lights for a period of two (2) years. In order to facilitate payment
for operation and maintenance of street lights, the Developer shall submit a fee as set forth

the City shall not commence until such time as the street lights are actually constructed.
Street lighting shall conform to adopted City Code.
28. City Engineering Administration and Construction Observation, Legal

services, which are estimated to be three percent (3%) of the estimated construction cost of
the Plan C Improvements to be inspected, assuming normal construction and project
scheduling. The Developer shall pay for construction observation performed by the City
Engineer. Construction observation shall include part or full time observation, as
determined by the City Engineer, of proposed street, sanitary sewer, water and storm
drainage construction and will be billed on hourly rates actually required for said inspection,
which are estimated to be five percent (5%) of the estimated construction cost of the Plan C
Improvements to be inspected. In the event of prolonged construction or unusual problems,
the City will notify the Developer of anticipated cost overruns for engineering
administration and observation services. Any amounts for engineering administration not

be returned to the Developer when all improvements have been completed, all financial
obligations to the City satisfied, and the required "as constructed" plans have been received
by the City.
All other amounts listed as flat fees are non-refundable and available
immediately for City use when posted.
29. Security. To ensure compliance with the terms of this Agreement, and

Agreement (other than during any warranty period), the Developer shall immediately
provide the City with either an extension of the term or an irrevocable letter of credit of the
same amount upon notification of the expiration. If the required Improvements are not
completed at least thirty (30) days prior to the expiration of the term, the City may also draw

and financial obligations to the City have been satisfied, with City approval, the Security
Funds balance may be reduced from time to time down to the amount of warranty security
as set forth in the Financial Summary, Exhibit B. A warranty security shall be posted with
s
the City as set forth in paragraph 33 of this Agreement. The warranty period shall be a
twelve (12) month period after the applicable work has been completed.
Notwithstanding the posting of the warranty security, the Security Funds shall
not be reduced below ten percent (10%) of the posted security until all Improvements have
been completed, all financial obligations to the City have been satisfied (which includes
posting of warranty security), and the required "as built" plans have been received by the
City. The intent of this Agreement is that the City shall have access to sufficient security,
either security or warranty security, to complete the project and insure warranty on all
Public Improvements at all times.

Agreement. All administrative and legal fees related to plan review, drafting of this
Agreement and any other necessary items shall be paid to the City prior to execution of this
Agreement.

Credit with automatic renewal provisions conforming to the requirements of this Paragraph
or cash in the amount as set forth in the Financial Summary, Exhibit B.
30. Landscaping. The Developer shall install trees upon each lot within the Plat
of a species approved by the Zoning Administrator in accordance with the approved
Landscape Plan. These plantings may not be installed in a public right-of-way. Any security
posted for this agreement or prior additions may be used to cure any defects in the event that
the Developer, it assigns or successors fail to install landscaping according to this
Agreement. Landscaping security to insure compliance with the approved Landscape Plan
shall be $3,000 per lot to be posted with the City at the time of application for a building
permit on each lot. Any trees which can cause a public nuisance or public hazard, such as
bug infestation or weak baric, are specifically prohibited.

against poor material and faulty workmanship for a period of one (1) year after its
completion and acceptance by the City, except for warranty on streets which is set forth in
Section 17 of this Agreement. The amount of posted warranty security for Public
Improvements to be posted by the Developer shall be in the amount as set forth on the
Financial Summary, Exhibit B. The amount, has been determined by the City Engineer, and
is based upon the costs of the raw materials and labor which would be necessary to correct
the most common deficiencies in such Public Improvements.
34. Claims. The Developer shall pay any subcontractor within ten (10) business
days of the Developer's receipt of payment by the City for undisputed services
provided by the subcontractor. In the event that the City receives claims from labor,
materialmen, or others that perform work required by this Agreement, which is
provided to real property owned by the City, and the sums due them have not been
paid, and the laborers, materialmen or others are seeking payment from the City, the
Developer hereby authorizes the City to commence an interpleader action pursuant
to Rule 22, Minnesota Rules of Civil Procedure for the District Courts, to draw upon

the work to be performed by it hereunder, the City may, at its option, perform the work and
the City may then draw down the security established in Paragraph 29 to pay for any work
II
undertaken, provided the Developer is first given notice of the matter in default, not less
than seven (7) days in advance and provided with a reasonable period of time to cure said
default. This notice provision does not apply if the work performed by the City or its
contractors is of an emergency nature, as determined at the reasonable discretion of the
City. Should such emergency work be required the City will make all reasonable efforts to
notify the Developer as soon as possible. When the City does any such work, the City may,
in addition to its other remedies, assess the cost in whole or in part pursuant to any
applicable statutes or ordinances.
38. Miscellaneous.
A. The Developer represents to the City that to best of its knowledge, the
Plat complies with all City, County, State, and Federal laws and
regulations, including but not limited to, Subdivision Ordinances,
Zoning Ordinances, and environmental regulations except where
specifically excluded by this Agreement. If the City determines that
the Phase does not comply, the City may, at its option, refuse to allow
construction or development work within the Plat until the Developer
does comply. Upon the City's demand, the Developer shall cease
work until compliance has been established.
B. Third parties shall have no recourse against the City under this
Agreement.
C. Breach of any of the terms of this Agreement by the Developer shall
be grounds for denial or revocation of building permits.
D. If any portion, section, subsection, sentence, clause, paragraph or
phrase of this Agreement is for any reason held invalid, such decision
shall not affect the validity of the remaining portions of this
Agreement.
E. If building permits are issued by the City prior to the completion and
acceptance of Public Improvements, the Developer shall assume all
liability for the costs resulting in any delay in completion of Public
Improvements and damage to any Public Improvements caused by the
City, the Developer, its contractors, subcontractors, materialmen,
employees, agents, or third parties. No one may occupy a building for
which a building permit is issued on either a temporary or permanent
basis until the streets needed for access have been paved with a
bituminous surface, unless a specific exception is approved by the
City.
F. The action or inaction of the City shall not constitute a waiver or
amendment to the provisions of this Agreement. To be binding,
amendments or waivers shall be in writing, signed by the parties and
approved by written resolution of the City Council. The City's failure
to promptly take legal action to enforce this Agreement shall not
constitute a waiver or release.
12
G. This Agreement shall run with the land, shall be recorded against the
title to the Property and all properties therein established by the Plat,
and shall be binding on all parties having any right, title or interests in
this phase of the Plat or any part thereof, their heirs, successors, and
assigns. After the Developer has completed the work required of it
under this Agreement as set forth in Section 7, at the Developer's
request, the City will execute and deliver to the Developers a release
or partial release (s) of this Agreement in the form required to be
recorded against title to the Property.
H. The Developer shall procure and maintain until one (1) year after the
City has accepted the Public Improvements, public liability and
property damage insurance covering personal injury, including death,
and any claims for property damage which may arise out of the
Developer's work or the work of its subcontractors or by one directly
or indirectly employed by any of them. Limits for bodily injury and
death shall not be less than $500,000.00 for one person and
$1,000,000.00 for each occurrence; limits for property damage shall be
not less than $200,000.00 for each occurrence. The City shall be
named as an additional insured on said policy, and the Developer shall
file a copy of the insurance coverage with the City prior to the City
issuing further building permits.
I. Each right, power or remedy herein conferred upon the City is
cumulative and in addition to every other right, power or remedy,
express or implied, now or hereafter arising, available to City, at law
or in equity, or under any other agreement, and each and every right,
power and remedy herein set forth or otherwise so existing may be
exercised from time to time as often and in such order as may be
deemed expedient by the City and shall not be a waiver of the right to
exercise at any time thereafter any other right, power or remedy.
J. The Developer shall pay for all local costs related to Drainage
Improvements required to complete the construction according to the
plans and conditions that are a part of this Agreement.
K. Should development of the Plat proceed at a pace slower than
anticipated, and for that reason, specific terms of this Agreement
become onerous or unduly burdensome to the Developer, upon
application, the City will enter into negotiations regarding those
specific terms and shall not unreasonably withhold consent to
appropriate changes to the terms of this Agreement.
L. The Developer shall demonstrate and maintain compliance with the

IMIYEP
That part of Outlot B, PLEASANT CREEK FARMS 4TH ADDITION, according to
the recorded plat thereof, Wright County, Minnesota, lying northerly of the following
described line:
Commencing at the northwest corner of said Outlot B; thence South 00 degrees 58
minutes 34 seconds East, assumed bearing along the west line of said Outlot B, a
distance of 475.00 feet to the point of beginning of the line to be described; thence
North 89 degrees 01 minutes 26 seconds East, a distance of 320.30 feet to the
east line of said Outlot B and said line there terminating.
Except that part of Outlot B, PLEASANT CREEK FARMS 4TH ADDITION,
described as follows:
Commencing at the northwest corner of said Outlot B; thence South 00 degrees 58
minutes 34 seconds East, assumed bearing along the west line of said Outlot B, a
distance of 475.00 feet to the point of beginning; thence North 89 degrees 01
minutes 26 seconds East, a distance of 279.00 feet; thence North 00 degrees 58
minutes 34 seconds West, a distance of 146.00 feet, thence South 89 degrees 01
minutes 26 seconds West, a distance of 2 79. 00 feet to said west line; thence South
00 degrees 58 minutes 34 seconds East along said west line, a distance of 146.00
feet to the point of beginning.
B. The subject site is guided by the Comprehensive Plan for low medium to high density
residential uses within the East Sewer District.
C. The subject site is zoned R-6, Medium Density Residential District.
D. The City Council approved application for preliminary plat and PUD -CUP of the property on
13 January 2013; the City Council approved a final plat on 13 August 2018; the final plat was
not recorded as required by Section 10-5-3.13.8 of the Subdivision Ordinance and the
preliminary plat and final plat approvals expired.
E. The applicant has applied for a PUD-CUP/preliminary plat of 47 single family lots and final
plat of 4 single family lots.
F. The Planning Commission and City Council must take into consideration the possible effects
of the PUD -CUP with their judgment 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.
Finding: The Comprehensive Plan guides the subject site for medium -to -high density
uses. Within these areas single family lots are an allowed use with a minimum lot
area and width requirements of 9,000 square feet and 60 feet, respectively. To
ensure that these lots provide appropriate building envelopes for contemporary house
designs changes to setback requirements have been allowed to maximize the
buildable area of the lot and maintain site functionality and compatibility. Use of
reduced front yard and side yard of corner lot setback requirements as shown on the
submitted preliminary plat is consistent with the City's past approach and appropriate
for the subject site as a replat of an approved townhouse development.
2. The proposed use's compatibility with present and future land uses of the area.
Finding: The subject site is surrounded by the following existing and planned land
uses. The proposed Pleasant Creek Farms 6th Addition is compatible with the various
existing and planned land uses surrounding the subject site.

3. The proposed use's conformity with all performance standards contained within the
Zoning Ordinance and other provisions of the City Code.
Finding: The proposed preliminary plat complies with all performance standards of
the Zoning Ordinance, Subdivision Ordinance and City Code except as may be
specifically modified by the PUD -CUP.
4. Traffic generation of the proposed use in relation to capabilities of streets serving the
property.
Finding: The proposed preliminary plat results in a substantial decrease in the
number of dwelling units within the area of the subject site reducing traffic generation.
Streets serving the subject site are adequate to accommodate the proposed 47 single
family lots.
5. The proposed use can be accommodated by existing public services and facilities
and will not overburden the City's service capacity.
Finding: The proposed preliminary plat can be accommodated by existing public
services and infrastructure.

Company LLC, is incorporated herein.
