06-08-98 CCMEMO Date: June 1, 1998 To: Mayor & Council From: City Administrator Mike Robertson Re: Financial Estimates for Preliminary Bond When the original financial plan for funding sewer and water installation was prepared, the City envisioned that at this point in time it would have bids in hand for construction of the sewer and water system. Once the bids were received the City would have started the process of bonding (borrowing money) for all the costs related to the installation of sewer and water. Unfortunately, the MPCA's delay in issuing us our permit sloes not delay our need to borrow money, it only means we will have to do so without construction bids. The reason for this is that the City does not have enough cash on hand to fund this project until the preparation of plans and specifications for the sewer and water system, preparations of easements, preparations of appraisals, acquisition of land, and the attendant engineering and legal work are all complete. Based on the preliminary cost estimates we have received from the City Engineer, City Attorney, design engineer, and appraiser, staff expects that the City will run out of cash in September without borrowing any money. These cost estimates are based upon a very conservative analysis, and could greatly fluctuate upon changing circumstances. Staff have asked me to strongly stress that at this point these are just estimates. We have prepared several options for the City Council to consider, along with the pros and cons of each option. City Accountant Gary Groen and City Financial Advisor Tom Truzinski will be present at the Council meeting on Monday June 8 to discuss this issue and answer any questions. OPTION 1 - Bond for over 9 Million Dollars Fund the entire project based on current estimates. This would consist of $7,515,000 in estimated construction costs and $1,500,000 in estimated design, engineering, land acquisition, and legal expenses. Capitalized interest would be extra. PROS: This would have the advantage of possibly reducing the City's bonding efforts to just this one time, assuming the cost estimates turned out to be accurate and the construction bids come in where we think they will. CONS: The City is bonding before it receives construction bids. If the cost estimates are not accurate, the City could either have too much money or not enough money. Any bonds over 5 million dollars are subject to Federal limits on the amount of interest you can earn on them. Essentially you cannot earn more interest than the rate you pay on the bonds, if you do, you have to keep track of it, fill out forms, and rebate the money to Uncle Sam. OPTION 2 - Bond for 1-1/2 Million Dollars Borrow just the money needed to cover the design, engineering, land acquisition, and legal expenses. This has been estimated at $1,500,000. This is 200 of the current estimated construction cost of $7,515,000. 20-30% is the standard percentage for soft costs on a construction project of this magnitude. PROS: The City only has to borrow enough money to fund the up front costs of designing and acquiring the land for the system. This bond can be incorporated into the bond which will have to be done when the system is constructed. CONS: The City will definitely have to borrow money again sometime in the future when it becomes time to construct the sewer and water system. The cost estimates are very preliminary. Some costs, such as legal fees, appraisal fees, and land 2 acquisition costs, are dependent on many factors, not all of which are within the City's control. OPTION 3 - Bond for 4-1/2 Million Dollars Fund the first half of the project. Bond for the remaining amount of money when the actual construction costs are known. PROS: This keeps the City below the 5 million dollar Federal limit so it does not have to worry about earning too much interest on the bonds. The interest that is earned will defray the City's administrative costs of issuing and monitoring the bonds. CONS: If the project is held up for any reason, the City would have to return the unused portion of the money. The bond could be structured with an early call date which would allow us to do that. 3 .06/03/1998 14:14 920-337-6548 JUN:. 3.1998 1:10PM DAFFINSON ASPHALT li"14 t •' a;up TO: Daffinson, Inc. 1311 Contract Drive Green Bay, WI 54304-5682 PROJECT DESCRIPTION. 1998 Crack Sealing, City of Otsego PAGE 02 NO. 406 P.5/8 The Owner for the referenced Project has considered -:he bid submitted by you on April 27, 1998 for the above described work in response 0 its advertisement for bids dated April 15, 1998, and information for Bidders.

This publication is the first in a series of four, all designed to help local officials, com- munity leaders, developers and homeowners address the critical issues of residential cluster development. These issues include the design, use, approval, and management of wastewater and storm water rural technologies. These technologies address people's legitimate concerns over the environmental degrada- tion often associated with residential development in rural areas. By combining the use of rural technologies with cluster development design, local officials have another option when developing their community. But to make rural technologies and cluster development possible, local officials need to incorporate new language into local ordinances and comprehensive land use plans. This series introduces the concepts for local officials considering revisions to their local comprehensive plan and zoning ordinance, as well as basic information to anyone curious about cluster development. It also provides background on how rural technologies can help preserve open space, protect environmental and cultural resources and enhance rural character. This publication defines cluster development and gives an overview of the critical issues connected to it. The second and third publications in the series describe the engineering and design of community wastewater treatment and storm water ■ ■. protection of ecological resources ■ ■ ■ preservation of agricultural land management systems for use in cluster develop- ments. They also provide a brief discussion of the current regulation and permitting requirements. Management issues that must be considered and management structures that can be used when establishing new cluster 0 REsIO m Ctusv NvEtomw: OVERVIEW of KEY Issufs developments utilizing rural technologies are addressed in the final publication. What Is Cluster Development ? Cluster development is the grouping of a particular development's residential structures on a portion of the available land, reserving a significant amount of the site as protected open space. Many communities in Minne- sota and across the United States are updating their comprehensive land use plans and establishing specific ordinances to guide the development and construction of residential clusters. New ordinances require design standards and identify minimum open space and density standards. These key changes have prompted some communities to opt for more descriptive terminology, including open space development or conservation subdivision design, for the more traditional cluster development. While the different terminology has created some confusion, each term still adheres to the three basic goals of cluster development: preserving open space, protecting critical ecological habitat and preserv- ing agricultural land. The usable open space created by a cluster develop- ment can meet a number of community goals. These goals sometimes conflict with one another. For example, the protection of wildlife habitat may be incompatible with the preservation of agricultural land. However, the key benefit is the availability of open space, space that has been preserved by clustering units on smaller lots. The landowner and the community make the ultimate decision on how the open space is used. Current Zoning Practices Current zoning practices establish minimum lot sizes, setbacks and widths that developers must follow when they design subdivisions. This leads to develop- ments that maximize the number of lots based on the total acreage of a parcel. For instance, if the code requires a minimum lot size of 2.5 acres and the developer has a 40 -acre parcel, the site will be developed with 16 residen- tial units unless there are major site limitations (see UNIVERSITY OF MINNESOTA Extension Figure 1). The parcel is then said to have a gross density of 16 units. Cluster development protects open space by establishing the number of units allowed for a parcel completely inde- pendent of any minimum lot size. While the gross density require- ment in the ex- ample above allows a maximum of 16 units to be devel- oped on the 40 -acre site, if lot sizes can be less than 2 acres or of variable size, some clustering of units is possible. The developer is still limited to 16 total units, but has the flexibility to place them in a way that is more responsive to a site's physical characteristics. For ex- ample, Figure 1 shows a cluster development preserving 24 acres of commonly -owned land. Conventional 5ubdivi5ion Clu5ter5ubdivi5ion Options for Use of Open Space The open space created by cluster developments -an be used in three ways: ■■■ Exclusive use by residents (e.g., private trails, passive recreational areas) ■ ■ ■ Preservation of agricultural land ■ ■ ■ Protection of wildlife habitat While open space has traditionally been used exclusively by residents, a local government can encour- age the other two options through its comprehensive land use plan and subdivision ordinances. Initially, the municipality needs to identify the areas that are impor- tant to the community and develop goals for these areas. These goals can then be realized by establishing physical design standards and density requirements, and by using transfer -of -development rights or other incentive pro- grams. Ensuring full Potential of Development The intent of cluster development ordinances is simple: develop less land area while allowing the same number of housing units that would be permitted under standard subdivision ordinances. By allowing the same number of units, landowners and developers aren't penalized financially for doing cluster development. A yield plan or development plan is currently being used by a number of communities to determine the maximum number of units allowed in a cluster develop- ment. The yield plan provides a conceptual sketch of a 8 RfsiDfm ClusTre DufloPMfNr: OVfeyfW Of KfY Issufs Figure 1. Two residential development scenarios ■■■ conven- tional subdivision based on all standard criteria (setbacks, width, lot size, etc.). The result is the maximum number of units allowed on the parcel (its gross density). Some communities do not specifically require a yield plan, basing the maximum number of units instead on the net developable land as determined by performance standards. Mandatory Versus Voluntary Cluster Development Some communities mandate cluster development. In such instances, developers must meet the cluster ordinance criteria. However, many communities offer voluntary cluster ordinances, allowing the developer to choose between a standard subdivision or a cluster development. In voluntary cluster development cases, communi- ties usually provide developers with incentives to apply clustering. One common incentive, density bonuses, automatically provides developers with a number of additional units if they decide on a cluster development. These bonuses can also be discretionary, with the number of additional units based on the subdivision design. If the community chooses to have discretionary density bo- nuses, they need to be based on predetermined perfor- mance standards and incorporated into the community's comprehensive plan. Protection of Water Resources Cluster development may offer many other advan- tages to the municipality, developer and prospective homeowner. The use of rural technologies for storm water management, for example, can avoid expensive curbs, gutters and storm sewers. Instead, the development's storm water management system can be more responsive to the land's environmental constraints. And wastewater treatment systems can incorporate technologies that ensure that systems are sited appropri- ately and that centrally -located municipal systems or individual sewage treatment systems are avoided. ■ Storm Water Management The design of storm water management systems in cluster developments seeks to maximize overland flow and combine the use of plants and landforms to slow, hold, and treat runoff from new development. ■ Wastewater Management Many options are available to treat wastewater from a cluster of homes, including community drainfields, irrigation systems, and package plants. These options all have the potential to reduce infrastructure investment and allow systems to be located on sites that minimize adverse environmental impact. An example, community septic drainfields, is illustrated in Figure 2. The specific engineering and design aspects of wastewa- ter treatment and storm water management systems in cluster developments will be discussed in publications two and three of this series. The local Adoption and Approval Process The local approval process for cluster development must be consistent with local comprehensive plans and Management of Common Resources Clustering housing leaves the majority of a new development as open, shared space, mutually owned and managed. In a cluster development, that management involves controlling, directing, and handling all resources held in common by individual homeowners. These include, but are not limited to, open space, wastewater treatment systems, and storm water management facili- ties. Many cluster development ordinances mandate the establishment of a homeowners association (HOA) to manage the common open space. Set up by the devel- oper, who may remain a member until all or a specified number of units are sold, the HOA is then responsible for 1r i NINq= i mw� I ; Septictank Common drainfield ( (typical) ;� rN ------------� --�——L---LV _-- ---- ordinances and must satisfy the permit process for rural tech- nologies. Cluster developments generally follow the same review and approval process that traditional subdivisions do. This process is characterized by a preliminary and final plat review process that takes place at public hearings and planning and zoning board meetings. Typically, for a cluster development, the developer and the planning commission's staff hold a pre -application meeting. This informal meeting is used to review the proposed concept to identify any conflicts before the developer submits a formal application. The pre -applica- tion meeting incorporates much-needed flexibility into the approval process by allowing everyone to evaluate a development's impact while ensuring it stays consistent with a community's goals. Many local permit processes have not been revised to give developers — who must undertake additional financial risk associated with new technologies — the flexibility they need. This lack of revisions has been the main difficulty in encouraging developers to use commu- nity wastewater treatment facilities and more complex storm water management technologies. Many devel- opers, anticipating greater costs and disapproval of new methods, simply opt for more traditional systems. N R[sivi UAI Llusru DfVFIOPMENI: OVERVIEW of KfY ISSUES Figure 1. Typical on-site septic layout for a cluster. ■■■ all management responsibilities and capital improve- ments. In developments with many common resources, the developer may want to explore an alternative to an HOA. Several management options have emerged that replace or supplement HOA responsibilities. There are six management options in all. Three, homeowners associations, privatized joint ventures and water quality cooperatives, are private. Three others, municipal utilities, sanitary sewer districts and subordi- nate service districts, involve public management. These will be discussed in greater detail in the fourth publica- tion. Whatever management framework is created, however, it is very important that the developer and the municipality agree on a structure prior to construction or occupation of homes.

Sykes, ASLA Residential cluster developments offer local governments an excellent opportunity to manage storm water more effectively than they can in conventional developments. This publica- tion reviews the fundamentals of storm water management, highlighting the problems conventional developments have in this area, and identifying the benefits of cluster design in developing a natural system of storm water management. There is also a description of an existing subdivision that benefitted from this new design. Fundamentals of Storm Water Management In every location there are two storm water man- agement systems, the major and the minor. Three consid- erations largely shape the design of these systems: flooding, convenience and water quality. Paths taken by runoff from very large storms are called major systems. Where these systems are specifically designed, flooding is usually avoided. But where the effects of large storms are not specifically considered or planned for, flood damage can be substantial. Systems designed with convenience in mind quickly remove runoff water from areas such as streets and sidewalks because they're difficult to use when covered with water. Convenience facilities like storm sewers, technically referred to as minor systems, quickly remove the peak flow of a runoff resulting from typical small storms. Apart from temporary measures to control sedi- ment in construction areas, water quality concerns in residential areas focus on the polluting substances washed from paved surfaces and carried into streams or other bodies of water during storms. Pollutants carried in runoff include sediments, nutrients, chemicals, disease - carrying organisms and heavy metals. Sources of these pollutants include grass clippings, leaves, eroded soil, fertilizer particles, oil and gasoline drippings, animal droppings, and metal flecks from vehicles. Detention ponds remove most of these suspended substances from runoff by temporarily holding it until the particles settle out (see Figure 1). Regulations require such ponds. Storm Water Management in Conventional Developments Since World War II, conventional zoning has typically led to the development of residential subdivi- sions that completely blanket a parcel with evenly - spaced lots. This results from zoning provisions that require minimum lot sizes and widths, and from local governments requiring developers to construct streets that serve every lot. In most cases, these streets must have curbs, gutters and storm sewers (see Figure 2). The adverse effects of storm water management in traditional developments mainly occurs because of changes made to the character of the land surface. Developments introduce roofs and large areas of pave- ment, referred to as impervious surfaces, which substan- tially reduce the amount of rainfall soaking into the soil and substantially increase the amount of runoff. Because pavements and roofs have much less surface area to wet in a rainstorm compared to plant - covered lands, more water is also free to run off these simpler, impervious smooth surfaces. Because they are smoother, water also runs off them faster. Instead of flowing off slowly over a long period of time, a larger volume of water arrives downstream at the same time much like rush hour on highway networks. More water running more quickly causes "traffic jams" of water downstream that we commonly call flooding. This addition of impervious surfaces associated with urbanization can significantly Concrete outlet structure Temporary storage volume (incorporates v -notch weir) Storm overflow Sediment drops out before reaching outlet structure Permanent water M RESIOENTW CIUSTER DEVELOPMENT.

Development under conventional zoning does little to minimize, much less prevent, these ill effects. Curbs hold water in the roadway, requiring storm sewers to let it out. The round pipes used for storm sewers move masses of water very efficiently. But instead of moving runoff slowly over natural surfaces so it soaks in, runoff moves rapidly once it's inside storm sewers, with no opportunity to infiltrate the soil. The high speed of flow keeps pollutants suspended in the runoff. Constructed ponds are then required to remove pollutants and reduce 3k flows. Since storm sewers are designed to flow .hout pumps, they tend to be put in the lowest por- tions of the landscape which are natural drainage -ways. Streets then follow this drainage pattern. Thus when storm sewers overflow, the street's smooth, uninter- rupted, impervious surfaces become the paths flood flows follow. The proverbial "cookie cutter syndrome" that results from conventional zoning (houses spread evenly over an entire site) leads to a large amount of pavement so the streets connect to all the houses. In addition, large lots and front yard set -backs necessitate even more " This is most readily observed by drops in the depth of stream base flows (flows between rainfalls). Base flow is fed by subsurface (groundwater) runoff. Subsurface runoff is supported by infiltration of rainfall from the surface. The water table is the top of the saturated zone of soil - the top of the subsurface runoff. In urban areas, imperviousness reduces replenishment of subsurface flows and is directly reflected by drops in the water table.

With all this pavement connected, there is much less opportunity for runoff to soak into the ground. In short, conventional development carries with it a subtle but powerful bias toward maximizing both the quantity and speed of runoff. Storm Water Management in Cluster Developments Cluster zoning allows the same number of houses on a site as conventional zoning (see Figure 3). However, it allows developers to put the houses on smaller lots and requires the preservation of large areas of a site as open space where houses can never be built. These two provisions give local governments and developers the flexibility needed for good design and modern storm water management. The layout for a clustered housing development can be arranged so that the steep slopes, natural drainage - ways, and areas of prime vegetation fall where the open space is (see Figure 4). And by clustering lots closer together and facing them on open spaces, shorter roads (and less pavement) are necessary. Smaller, narrower lots also help reduce the need for pavement in driveways and walks, as in Figure 3. ■■■ Figure 3. (luster development reduces the quantities of pavement and site grading compared to development under traditional zoning. It also permits the preservation of large blocks of open space from initial and future development. Figure 4. The layout plans for cluster housing development can be arranged so that the steep slopes, natural drainageways, and areas of prime vegetation fall into the open space areas. .. Clustering enables a better relationship between impervious surfaces and natural drainageways, too. Roads can be placed along ridge lines, with houses just off the ridges on the ridge 'brow.' This means that most pavement and roofs are located as far from the preserved natural drainage system as possible (see Figure 5). Runoff from impervi- ous surfaces now flows slowly over pervious, vegetation - covered areas, soaking into the soil, which filters out some of the occasional removal of sediment. This in turn requires a management organization designed and funded for that purpose. Public works departments are one alternative for managing these natural drainage systems. There are three other management options: (1) homeowners associations, (2) storm water utilities, and (3) water quality cooperatives. ■ Homeowners Associations A homeowners association is initially established by the land developer as a nonprofit organization. Through deed restrictions, all homeowners are members of the association and bound to the subdivision. This means the association can set rules and assess membership fees for the care of commonly owned property, including storm water systems and open spaces. ■ Storm Water Utilities In Minnesota, a local government may establish a storm water utility for the maintenance of storm water infrastructure. Many cities have done so in the last fifteen Classic location, houses on `brow' of ridge Natural drainageways preserved along with associated vegetation pollutants before the storm water reaches figure S. Clustering of houses permits roads to lakes, rivers and be placed along ridges as far as possible from streams. Greater use is preserved natural drainage -ways. made of drainage N o n devices such as ditches and swales. (Similar to ditches, swales are typically short, shallow and wide depressions covered with vegetation.) Costs are lowered because curbs and storm sewers are no longer needed. More rainfall is directed toward the replenishment of ground water. The development generates a smaller volume of runoff moving more slowly toward the bodies of water receiving it. Management of Storm Water facilities in Cluster Developments and Open Spaces Preservation of natural drainage systems and the use of overland swales for storm water require a different approach to maintenance and repair than traditional storm sewer systems. Most of all, this type of storm water network requires maintenance of living plants and N Rfsamm Ctusut DfvnOWNf.

A storm water utility can assess the costs of its services to property owners that benefit from the storm water facilities it owns or for which it is responsible. Two Minnesota examples are the cities of Lake Elmo and Marine -on -St. Croix. ■ Water Quality Cooperatives Individuals can also form water quality coopera- tives that own and care for the storm water infrastructure discussed above. Cooperatives are non-profit, member - owned organizations that provide services to their members and are financed through a membership fee structure. These organizations can also be used to join together several homeowners associations by using the Master Association feature of the Minnesota Common Interest Ownership Act. By joining, these groups effec- tively improve their bargaining position when securing technical management or other services for their residents. The Woodlands Case Study Nationally, one of the best-known devel- opments to use residential clustering for a natural system of storm water management is The Woodlands New Community outside Houston, Texas. This 20,000 -acre town was planned and designed by Wallace, McHarg, Roberts and Todd, landscape Architects and Planners, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. The site is flat and heavily wooded, with extensive areas of poorly -drained soils. Clustering was included in the firm's comprehensive plan to preserve the site's natural drainage system, avoid environmentally -critical areas, work with existing topography, and maintain prevailing hydrological conditions. The Woodlands' general plan used the existing natural drainage system to provide the town's major storm water system. Major roads and dense development were located along ridge lines, while preserving the natural flood plains as parks and open space. Rather than on underground storm sewer system, the minor storm water system is made up of open space and roadside and lotaine swales. The minor system focused on getting small rainstorms to soak into the soil. In its original plan, engineers compared the capital cost of the natural drainage system to that of a conventional system and found that the natural Author Robert Sykes Associate Professor Department of landscape Architecture University of Minnesota (612) 625-6091 sykes002@moroon.tc.umn.edu For More Information Thomas Wegner Extension Educator University of Minnesota Extension Service Hennepin County (612) 314-8400 twegner@extension.umn.edu Part of a Series This is one in a series of four publications designed to assist local community leaders, city officials, developers and homeowners in creating viable residential cluster developments and management structures within their communities.

In addition, a conventional storm water management approach would have cleared thousands of trees, increased runoff 180 percent, degraded downstream water quality, and caused a daily water table drawdown of 15 million gallons. The plan avoided or sharply reduced the impact of all these problems.** The ultimate measure of The Woodlands' approach occurred one April day in 1979 when a record storm dropped nine inches of rainfall on the Houston area in less than five hours. No houses in The Woodlands experienced any flooding. But neighboring areas, with conventional storm water manage- ment systems, were hit hard by flood damage.
