Otsego — Twin City Bee Keeping; Site/Building Plan Review
11 May 2005 ACTION DATE: 25 June 2005
176.02 — 05.18 CITY FILE: 2005-27
Arrow Companies, on behalf of Twin City Beekeeping, Inc., has submitted site and
building plans for development of Lot 1, Block 1 of the Otsego Commercial Park with a
15,000 square foot building to be occupied by a candle manufacturing business. The
subject site, located at the southeast corner of CSAH 42 and 85th Street, is guided for
office uses by the Comprehensive Plan and is zoned B -W, Business -Warehousing
District.
Section 20-9-3.A of the Zoning Ordinance requires that all commercial or industrial
construction be subject to review by the Planning Commission and approval of the City
Council. Furthermore, a conditional use permit is required to allow the proposed
manufacturing use within a B -W District.

ANALYSIS
Use. The proposed use of the building will be for the manufacture and distribution of
candles, as well as administrative office functions related to the business.
Manufacturing uses within the B -W District are allowed by conditional use permit to be
evaluated based upon (but not limited to) the criteria outlined in Section 20-4-21 of the
Zoning Ordinance:
The proposed action's consistency with the specific policies and provisions of the
official City Comprehensive Plan.
Comment: The Comprehensive Plan guides the subject site for office type uses
with the intent of providing employment opportunities within the City as well as
daytime support for planned retail and service oriented uses to the north.
Although the proposed use and building are more industrial in character, the
objectives of the Comprehensive Plan are satisfied by allowance of such uses by
conditional use permit within the 8-W District.
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/planned uses:

Existing Use

Commercial
A-1 District
Farm
East
Office
B -W District
Otsego Commercial Park lots 2-5
South
Office
A-1 District
Undeveloped
Rural single family dwellings
West
M/HD
R-6 District
Stone ate Estates row townhomes
The site is planned to be surrounded by uses similar or compatible with the
proposed use upon development of land uses guided by the Comprehensive
Plan. Interim measures to provide basic screening of the site, particularly the
loading areas will address any short term compatibility issues. Compatibility with
the townhouse uses west of the subject site are not an issue as CSAH 42 acts as
a barrier creating greater physical separation.
3. The proposed use's conformity with all performance standards contained in the
Zoning Ordinance (i.e., parking, loading, noise, etc.).
Comment: The proposed use must and will conform to all applicable
performance standards.
4. The proposed use's effect upon the area in which it is proposed.
Comment: The proposed development adds employment opportunities to the
City, expands tax base and provides daytime support to existing or planned retail
service businesses in the immediate area, which are all positive effects.
2
5. The proposed use's impact upon property values of the area in which it is
proposed.
Comment: Although no study has been completed, the proposed use is not
anticipated to negatively impact area property values.
6. Traffic generation by the proposed use in relation to the capabilities of streets
serving the property.
Comment: The proposed use is anticipated to generate traffic that is within the
capacities of 85th Street and CSAH 42, which are the primary means of access to
the site.
7. The proposed use's impact upon existing public services and facilities including
parks, schools, streets, and utilities and its potential to overburden the City=s
service capacity.
Comment: The proposed use is not anticipated to have a negative impact to the
City's service capacity as it is within the range of uses anticipated by the
Comprehensive Plan and Zoning Map for the subject site.
Building Design. The proposed building is approximately 25 feet tall and constructed
of rock face block materials on all four sides. Two colors are used in horizontal bands
to provide variation in the appearance of the materials. The entrance to the building, on
the west fagade (visible from CSAH 42), features an off -set EFIS structure with large
windows to provide emphasis to this portion of the building. Windows are provided
along the length of the west fagade on two levels and more sparingly on the other three
sides. The proposed building meets the material requirements for structures within the
B -W District established by Section 20-17-4.13.2 of the Zoning Ordinance.
Landscaping. The applicant has submitted a landscape plan that provides for
installation of trees along 85th Street and the west side of the parking area and at the
north and west foundation of the building. Plantings should also be installed to the
east of the east driveway to 85th Street extending back at least the length of the required
front yard. Likewise, the foundation planting on the north side of the building should be
extended the length of the building to the edge of the driveway.
Lot Requirements. The table below illustrates the lot requirements of the B -W District
relative to the proposed development:
Min. Lot Min. Lot Setbacks
Area Width CSAH 42 85 St. East South
Required 2.Oac. 200ft. 65ft. 65ft. 20ft 20ft
Proposed 2.7ac. 329ft. 195ft. 50ft. 34ft 225ft
3
The existing lot and proposed development meet applicable requirements of the B -W
District, except for the front yard setback from 85th Street. This street is designated as
a collector street by the Transportation Plan and thus requires a 65 foot setback versus
the 50 foot setback required from local streets.
One of the directives of the Comprehensive Plan is that the City is to consider amending
the Zoning Ordinance to eliminate the increased setbacks to collector and arterial
streets for commercial and industrial districts as these uses are not subject to adverse
impacts that residential uses would be if located near major traffic corridors. Eliminating
the increased setback for parcels abutting arterial and collector streets also increases
efficiency in developing land for commercial and industrial uses.
To address the setback issue, City staff will bring forward the necessary amendments to
eliminate the reduced setback requirements in advance of this application. If the
amendment is approved, specifically that applicable to the B -W District, prior to action
on this application, a 50 foot setback will apply and the proposed development will be in
compliance.
Access. The subject site abuts CSAH 42 and 85th Street, with two accesses planned
onto 85th Street. The locations of the access points are more than 60 feet from the
CSAH 42/8 5th Street intersection and 10 feet from the easterly property line in
accordance with the requirements of Section 20-21-4.1-1 of the Zoning Ordinance. The
driveway entrances onto 85th Street measure 24 feet wide which is also consistent with
the requirements of Section 20-21-4.1-1 of the Zoning Ordinance.
Off -Street Parking. The table below provides an analysis of required parking based on
Section 20-21-9 of the Zoning Ordinance:
Use Gross

Net Calculation of
Floor Area Stalls Required
Required
Stalls
Office 2,700sf.

Warehouse 12,300sf.
11,070sf. 1 stall/1,000sf.
11
TOTAL
23
The site plan illustrates 33 off-street parking stalls, including two disability accessible
stalls. The parking area is to be paved with asphalt surfacing and have perimeter
concrete curb. The proposed off-street parking supply and design of the parking area
are consistent with Zoning Ordinance requirements. The parking area must be striped
in accordance with Section 20-21-4.H.13 of the Zoning Ordinance.
Loading Areas. The site and building plans show two loading docks and a drive-in
overhead door on the south side of the building. The loading areas do not face public
rights-of-way, but do face existing residential uses to the southwest of the subject site.
Although these parcels with existing residential use are guided for future office uses,
some black hills spruce trees at 25 feet on center for screening along the southwest and
south line of the parking/loading area surface must be provided as required by Section
20-22-5 of the Zoning Ordinance.
4
Site Lighting. The applicant has submitted a photometric plan to show the illumination
pattern of all proposed light fixtures to be installed on the site. Section 20-16-10 of the
Zoning Ordinance limits light cast to a lot line to not more than1.0 foot-candle and to an
interior lot line to not more than 0.4 foot-candles. The photo metric plan shows
compliance with these standards. The type of light fixture to be installed must be
identified and must provide shielding for a 90 degree cut-off to cast light down.
Signs. No plans for any free standing or walls signs have been submitted. Any
proposed signs must conform to the requirements of Section 37 of the Zoning
Ordinance and a sign permit is required prior to any construction of signs on the
property.
Trash. The site plan shows a trash enclosure abutting the south face of the building,
but no plans have been submitted for construction of this structure. Section 20-16-15.13
of the Zoning Ordinance requires that the same or similar type of material as used for
the principal structure be used for the trash enclosure, meaning rock -face block with
integral color to match the abutting building. Plans for the trash enclosure are to be
subject to review and approval of City staff.
Grading Plans. The application includes plans for grading and drainage of the subject
site. These plans are subject to review and approval of the City Engineer.
Utility Plans. The proposed use will connect to existing municipal sanitary sewer and
water services installed in 85th Street and stubbed to the property. The plans for the
utilities are subject to review and approval of the City Engineer. Payment for applicable
SAC/WAC fees will be determined by City staff and must be paid prior to issuance of a
building permit.

Re: Twin City Bee Keeping
We have reviewed the Preliminary Plans, dated 5/26/05, for the above -referenced project and
would offer the following comments:
The drawings shall be revised to show all existing utilities within 150' of the site.
2. Drainage and utility easements shall be shown. Currently, there is no perimeter drainage
and utility easement shown.
The grading plan depicts filling of a significant portion of the existing sedimentation
basin on the property. This may be an issue as it reduces the volume of the pond.
4. A hydrology report must be submitted to determine the impacts of the proposed filling of
the sedimentation basin.
5. Currently, there is not a skimmer structure at the outlet of the pond. A skimmer structure
is required.
6. The NWL and 2 -Year, 10 -Year and 100 -Year HWL shall be shown for the sedimentation
basin.
7. Storm sewer calculations shall be submitted for review.
8. An additional hydrant will be required to meet the 300' hydrant spacing requirement.

Otsego — Kolles/Dare; Commercial PUD Concept Plan
26 May 2005 ACTION DATE: 17 July 2005
176.02 - 05.16
Terra Development Inc., on behalf of Appella Group LLC, has submitted a PUD General
Concept Plan for a 535,000 square foot commercial development on approximately 90
acres located generally northeast of CSAH 42 and 85th Street. The proposed
development would consist of a mix of general retail, service, office and restaurant uses
within multiple principal buildings.
The developer proposes unique site design, public improvements and architectural
controls requiring implementation through establishment of a PUD, Planned Unit
Development District. The submission of a PUD General Concept Plan is the first step
in a two step process intended to provide the developer direction that their proposed
project is generally consistent with the intent of the City's Comprehensive Plan and
development regulations. The PUD General Concept Plan will also serve to define the
anticipated scope of the project for required environmental review studies.
Exhibits:
A. PUD General Concept Stage Booklet dated 17 May 2005 (by reference)
ANALYSIS
Comprehensive Plan. The Comprehensive Plan guides the majority of the site for
general commercial uses as part of the City's primary commercial center focused at the
interchange of TH 101 and CSAH 39. The area designated as Blocks 8 and 9 on the
concept plan south of 85th Street are guided for office uses by the Comprehensive Plan.
The City's goals for this area is development of a wide range of retail, service and office
uses supported by local patrons to the west within existing and planned residential
neighborhoods, in-place employees from commercial and office uses planned along the
TH 101 corridor and transient patrons from TH 101.
The General Concept Plan is consistent with these goals in terms of both its intended
land uses and site design. The site design for the project is particularly well done in
that it presents an attractive front to TH 101, to CSAH 42 and internal to the
development. The design enhances community character and identity for both local
residents and pass -by traffic along TH 101. Furthermore, the General Concept Plan
describes the use of Traditional Neighborhood Development (TND) principles to
promote a high amenity, compact retail service area that is to be at the core of the
Kolles-Dare project.
Zoning. Uses proposed to locate within the development have only been identified
generally at this stage. As with other commercial developments within the City that
have been implemented under a PUD District, we would recommend that the allowed
uses within most of this project would be the same as allowed in the City's B-3, General
Business District. The B-3 District allows for the most comprehensive range of
potential businesses and is specifically intended to provide for commercial centers
oriented to both local and regional businesses. The only exception to the B-3 District
uses would be development of Blocks 8 and 9, which are in an area guided for office
uses by the Comprehensive Plan. These parcels would be designated to develop with
uses as allowed by the B -W, Business Warehousing District.
WS District. The eastern portion of the subject site is within Subdistrict B of the Wild,
Scenic and Recreational River Overlay District. Subdistrict B allows for development of
the full range of urban land uses including those proposed on the General Concept Plan
because the subdistrict is separated from the Mississippi River by TH 101. The only
requirement of the subdistrict is that development adheres to Best Management
Practices for stormwater management, which is required of all developments within the
City.
Environmental Review. The acreage being converted from agriculture to urban land
use as well as the amount of commercial floor area triggers a mandatory environmental
review. The applicant has proposed undertaking an Alternative Urban Areawide Review
(AUAR) process to assess the potential impacts to land use, traffic, stormwater
management, wildlife, wetlands, air/noise pollution, public services, etc, that could occur
as a result of the development of the subject site and surrounding properties guided for
similar uses.
The AUAR will consider the potential impacts for development of the entire commercial
area between CSAH 39, CSAH 42 and TH 101. City staff has drafted a letter to all area
property owners to notify them that their properties are being considered as part of this
study and to contact the City with any questions. The developer will prepare the AUAR
document, which is subject to City staff approval prior to publication for review and
comment. During the required public comment period, the Planning Commission will
hold a public hearing. Following the public hearing and public comment period, the City
2
Council must make findings as to the potential for environmental effects resulting from
the project and adopt the implementation measures outlined by the final AUAR.
Surrounding Land Uses. The table below illustrates existing and planned land uses
surrounding the subject site. The proposed General Concept Plan is consistent and

Building Design. No conceptual building elevations have been submitted with this
application, but the General Concept Plan does emphasize high quality architecture as
a guiding principal. The expectation is that this goal is to be realized through
development of architectural guidelines that would be applied through the PUD District
to the project. To this end, we would encourage the developer to consider architectural
forms drawn from the City's prairie heritage typified by existing buildings such as the
Blackwoods restaurant, Nathe 101 Garden Center, Otsego Elementary School and
even the City's two wastewater treatment plant buildings to create a unique sense of
place distinct from other suburban retail centers. The PUD District design guidelines
must be submitted with a PUD Development Stage Plan.
Landscaping. The concept plan illustrates generalized boulevard plantings along
streets and within parking areas. The plan does not identify plantings along CSAH 42,
which should be added. The PUD Development Stage Plan for the project and any
construction of any of the sites within the project must include a detailed landscape plan
specifying the type, size, quantities and location of all plantings to be installed along the
public corridors, within parking areas and at the building foundations.
Access. The subject is accessed from CSAH 42 from existing 88th Street and 85th
Street. The General Concept Plan proposes additional accesses to CSAH 42 at 86th
Street and 87th Street. Full intersections would be planned to occur at 85th Street and
87th Street based on Wright County spacing guidelines set forth in the Northeast Wright
County Transportation Plan. Access at 86tTi Street and 88th Street may be anticipated to
be limited to right-in/right-out in the future. The applicant will prepare a transportation
study as part of the AUAR and preliminary plat process to fully evaluate the effects and
timing of effects of the development onto existing roadways and determine required
improvements.
3
Wright County has reviewed preliminary plans for the development and provided
comment that CSAH 42 will be required to be upgraded to a four land urban roadway
from 85th Street to CSAH 39 as a condition of County plat approval. The responsibility
for undertaking this project and its costs is an issue of on-going discussion between City
staff and the developer. The City will likely need to take action to acquire right-of-way
from the properties west of CSAH 42 for the project. Also, the timing for the need to
signalize the intersections of 85th Street and 87th Street at CSAH 42 will be subject to
further review.
All of the streets except those within Block 4 are intended to be public streets. Further
discussion of the proposed parkway and boulevard streets are required to ensure that
their design is consistent with City standards and capabilities of the Public Works
Department to maintain them. Street names within the subject site must be revised to
conform to the Wright County grid.
Lot Requirements. The concept plan promotes a mix of commercial land uses with big
box users located on the east portion of the site along TH 101 with a more compact
urban form at the center of the project. Similar small-scale satellite buildings are
located at the perimeter of Blocks 1, 2, 3 and 5. Development of the commercial core
as shown on the concept plan will require flexibility from the standard lot area, lot width
and setback requirements of the B-3 District. Flexibility to allow building forward
designs to create a more compact aesthetic to the development has been allowed in
other commercial developments in the City and is appropriate here. The only
expectation beyond what is shown on the General Concept Plan is that the uses
adjacent to CSAH 42 be setback at least 30 feet and that the big box uses to be
constructed on Blocks 6 through 9 also meet standard setback requirements due to the
scale and more suburban form of these structures.
Off -Street Parking. The table below illustrates the balance between required parking
and proposed parking identified as part of the General Concept Plan. Blocks 1, 2, 8 and
9 are not listed as no uses have been identified for these parcels at this time.

This preliminary analysis shows that the proposed parking supply is generally consistent
with Zoning Ordinance requirements through the combination of off-street and on -street
parking stalls. In the TND central core, there is a deficit of 266 stalls, which is 19.3
percent of the required parking for these three blocks. The oversupply of parking for the
big box users on Blocks 6 and 7 fronting TH 101, which are within walking distance of
the buildings with a parking shortage, offset the deficit in the most general terms.
Also to be considered in relation to the estimates for required parking is business
interchange. Business interchange is the concept that a patron of one of the stores in a
commercial center such as this will frequent more than one store, office or restaurant
accounting for several trips but utilizing only one parking stall. Further support for the
business interchange concept is the mix of uses proposed. During daytime hours it is
the in-place office employees that are most likely to patronize the store, thus not
creating the need for additional parking. In off -business hours, most of the stalls
occupied by the office employees will be vacated creating parking supply for residents
to shop at the stores or eat at the restaurants.
The concept plan identifies approximately 11 percent of the overall number of required
parking stalls and approximately 19 percent of the parking required in the TND core to
be on -street stalls. The Zoning Ordinance would typically not allow on -street parking to
be counted towards the requirements for the number of stalls to be provided. This
requirement is based on the typical suburban development model of a standalone single
tenant, strip center or office building. The more compact urban form of the proposed
TND central core better integrates the proposed uses with building locations, vehicle
and pedestrian access and the parking supply for a highly functional development.
Also, City commercial streets typically do not include on street parking stalls.
Promotion of this efficient land pattern and minimization of hard surfacing through
utilization of on -street parking stalls to meet parking requirements as part of the project
is consistent with the City's goals and policies.
Loading. Provision for loading into the commercial buildings is not well defined at a
concept plan stage. The big box users of Lots 6 and 7 may be anticipated to have
traditional loading docks that must be heavily screened from view of the public right-of-
way or adjacent lots. The other commercial buildings likely will likely occur through the
front door from a truck in the parking lot. To this end, the PUD Development Stage Plan
for the project must illustrate tractor -trailer turning radii with access to each of the
buildings.
Grading. The developer has submitted a preliminary grading plan for General Concept
Plan following discussions with the City Engineer. Required ponds will be extended
east -west along the central boulevard street, through the core retail area and
terminating in a large basin adjacent to TH 101. The developer intends to provide a
plaza and opportunities for outdoor seating adjacent to the ponds to enhance their
amenity value. Specific landscape plans will be required for areas surrounding the
ponds to ensure appropriate plantings that can survive in conditions occurring at or
above the OHWM of the ponds.
Much of the eastern portion of the site is within the 100 -year flood plain. The grading
plan must provide for building pads at least 18 inches above the flood plain elevation
and off-street parking may not be more than two feet below the floodplain elevation.
The conceptual grading plan exceeds these requirements. All grading issues are
subject to review and approval of the City Engineer.
Utilities. A conceptual utility plan has been submitted to indicate the feasibility of
sanitary sewer and water service for the uses shown on the General Concept Plan. The
proposed utilities will connect to existing trunk facilities in CSAH 42 and 88th Street and
extend them through the property for future connections to the south. With expansion
of the City's East WWTP to 1.0 Million gallons per day of treatment capacity, the
proposed development can be serviced. All utility issues are subject to review and
approval by the City Engineer.
Park and Trail Dedication. Section 21-7-18 of the Subdivision Ordinance requires
dedication of land or payment of a cash fee in lieu of land for park and trail facilities
within all proposed subdivisions. The Future Park and Trail Plan does not identify any
park facilities within the subject site, although trails are shown along major streets. Park
dedication would be anticipated to be satisfied as a cash fee in lieu of land in effect at
the time of final plat approval (currently $7,000.00/gross acre) with credits for
construction of trails as well as other possible public amenities within the project.
Exception Parcel. There is an exception parcel to the concept plan at the southwest
corner of CSAH 42 and 88th Street that is owned by the applicant with the balance of the
property. This parcel was previously platted as part of the MRD Commercial Addition.
In order to allow advanced development of this parcel, the applicant has not included
the site within the PUD concept plan and the parcel will not be subject to the AUAR
process. The applicant states that they will develop the exception site within the
intended character and to the same standards as the balance of the proposed PUD
District. The potential affects of developing the subject site for urban commercial uses
will also be accounted for by the AUAR as part of the broader study area.
RECOMMENDATION
The proposed General Concept Plan for a 535,000 square foot commercial
development located within the City's primary commercial core is very well conceived
and consistent with Otsego's objectives for this area. The General Concept Plan
provides for a mix of uses, land forms and aesthetic amenities that take advantage of
and strengthen this site's unique orientation to both local and regional markets. We are
pleased to recommend approval of the PUD General Concept Plan as outlined below
and look forward to continuing work with the developer through the environmental
review and PUD Development Stage Plan processes, subject to comments by other
City staff.

Re: Concept Plan — Kolles/Dare
HAA Project No. OT2296
We have reviewed the above referenced Concept Plan and have the following comments:
STREETS
We would suggest using the County grid for naming of streets for public safety issues
(911 responders).
2. The typical section (Standard Plat # 103) for commercial street is attached. 80' of
right-of-way is shown. Plate 103 variations to the typical section may be considered
as part of this PUD. Additional maintenance the narrower and more "quaint" streets
and associated parking areas (parallel or diagonal) create must be taken into
consideration. Different equipment than the city currently uses may be required to
properly clear snow.
OVERALL GRADING
The site has a large portion below the 100 year event. This area is considered flood
plain and can be filled. In order to satisfy lending agencies and insurance agencies, a
"letter of map revision" removing areas from flood plain will be required. The
grading plan depicts building pads, parking lots and roads at acceptable elevations.
We have no comment on the grading at this preliminary stage.
WATER
1. Providing the site with water will not be an issue. Currently a large trunk water main
is along the east side of the CSAR 42. Also a trunk loop under TH 101 will connect
to the east end of 88t" Street as part of Otsego Waterfront East. An additional well
Page 1 of 2
MaWShared Does\Miinicipal\Aatsege22xx122P61ot2296hmccmemo.doc
has been added in 2004. One item the Council should keep in mind is the current
400,000 gallon east water tower is begi�u-iing to be taxed as far as fire protection
volume. A new water tower on the east side should be considered in the near future.
2. All water lines must be 12" ductile iron. Looping and locations of waterlines as
depicted appears adequate. Valves and hydrants will be reviewed in greater detail
during preliminary and final plat. Hydrants must be spaced to provide not more than
250' radius coverage.
SEWER
1. With the expansion of the wastewater treatment plant to 1,000,000 GPD, there is no
issue with available capacity at this time,
2. The concept locations, depths and direction of sewer lines appear adequate.
STORM WATER
1. Storm water pond if used as features must be lined due to highly permeable sand and
gravel. This was stated to be their intentions in the report.
2. The elevations of the ponds and the generally flat topography of the site give some
concern with the amount of availabl' storage volume. Without reviewing the
hydrology calculations it is impossible ;to say the storm ponds are adequate. During
preliminary and final plat stages further review will be required.
3. Easement for the ditch to Lefevre Creek will be required and Mn/DOT will not allow
any flow into the TH 101 ditch.
In general the Concept Plan appears to meet Otsego Standards with the exception of streets,
which will warrant special consideration under the �UD status,

RE: Otsego — Riverview Daycare; CUP/Septic Variance
REPORT DATE: 27 May 2005 ACTION DATE: 15 July 2005
NAC FILE: 176.02 — 05.12
BACKGROUND
Landcor Companies has submitted an application to establish a daycare use for 159
children within the existing 7,800 square foot one story building located on Lot 1, Block
1 Mississippi Shores 8th Addition. The subject site is located northwest of CSAH 39 and
CSAH 42. The subject site is within the east sanitary sewer district and guided for
commercial land use. The property is currently zoned B-3, General Business District
which allows for commercial daycares as a conditional use.
The subject site was previously occupied by Rainbow Daycare, but the use of the site
was terminated and approval of a CUP is required to reestablish a daycare within the
building. The applicant is also requesting consideration of a variance from the City's
on-site septic system code to allow use of holding tanks as an interim measure until a
pending City project to extend utilities is approved by the City Council.

ANALYSIS
Conditional Use. Section 20-30-2 of the Zoning Ordinance establishes daycare
facilities as an allowed conditional use within all business districts and the INS,
Institutional District. Allowance of a daycare use is subject to the performance
standards outlined by Section 20-30-5 of the Zoning Ordinance addressed in
subsequent paragraphs. Furthermore, an application for a conditional use permit is to
be evaluated based upon (but not limited to) the criteria established by Section 20-4-2.F
of the Zoning Ordinance:
1. The proposed action's consistency with the specific policies and provisions of the
official City Comprehensive Plan.
2. The proposed use's compatibility with present and future land uses of the area.
3. The proposed use's conformity with all performance standards contained in the
Zoning Ordinance (i.e., parking, loading, noise, etc.).
4. The proposed use's effect upon the area in which it is proposed.
5. The proposed use's impact upon property values of the area in which it is
proposed.
6. Traffic generation by the proposed use in relation to the capabilities of streets
serving the property.
7. The proposed use=s impact upon existing public services and facilities including
parks, schools, streets, and utilities and its potential to overburden the City=s
service capacity.
Building Design. The existing building is a one-story structure with a flat roof and
metal siding. The applicant is proposing to upgrade the appearance of the building with
a new metal fascia for the upper section of the building and two tone brick facing for the
balance of the building. The changes proposed to the exterior of the building are a
substantial upgrade that brings the existing building closer to conformance with Section
20-17-4.13.1 of the Zoning Ordinance.
Lot Requirements. The table below identifies the lot requirements of the B-3 District:
Min. Min.

The proposed site plan generally conforms to applicable lot requirements. The
applicant's planned improvements of the parking area do encroach into existing public
right-of-way based on the assumption that the City project to extend utilities and vacate
2
the right-of-way after improving the roadway as a private drive will move ahead. Until
the City Council takes action to vacate the right-of-way, no improvement to the parking
area may occur in or within 10 feet of the current lot line.
Utilities. The previous owner/tenant of the building ceased operations in part due to
the existing on-site septic system failing and uncertainty as to the extension of municipal
utilities. The City Council is considering a project that would extend sanitary sewer and
water services to the subject site but the project has been delayed by area property
owners being unable to agree as to the scope of the project. The City Council
approved plans and specifications for the project and authorized seeking bids for
construction at their meeting on 23 May 2005. The City Council expects to award a
contract for the project at their meeting on 27 June 2005.
Section 4-3-8.D of the City Code requires that use failing septic systems presenting an
immediate threat to the natural environment of public health and safety be discontinued
within three months of notice from the City. This three month period has now lapsed
and sanitary sewer service for the building must be re-established in accordance with
the provisions of the City Code either by connection to sanitary sewer, installation of a
standard septic system or approval of an alternative system. To allow occupancy of the
building in advance of the proposed City project, the applicant has suggested that the
existing septic tanks be used as holding tanks that are to be pumped daily
Section 4-3-9 of the City Code requires City Council approval of a variance for use of
holding tanks in place of a standard on-site septic system. A property owner has no
entitlement to approval of holding tanks for sewage disposal in accordance with Section
4-3-9.E of the City Code and Section 4-3-12.A of the City Code specifically requires
connection to sanitary sewer systems when available to a property upon application for
a ISTS permit or failure of an existing septic system serving the property.
Holding tanks have only been approved for use in two situations for properties within the
sanitary sewer district developed with commercial or industrial buildings having low
sewage flows and when extension of sanitary sewer service could not be reliably
anticipated. Sanitary sewer pipes are within 700 feet of the subject site and the City
Council is considering approval of a project to extend sanitary sewer to the subject site.
As such, the applicant's request meets neither of these criteria and City staff does not
support the long-term use of holding tanks.
City staff does support use of holding tanks as an interim measure at the applicant's full
cost in addition their pending assessments for the public improvement project between
the period when the project to extend sanitary sewer has been approved and
completion of construction. Use of the existing septic system for this purpose or in any
form cannot be allowed under the City Code and Minnesota Rules 7080 due to the
threat to public health and safety. A plan for interim alternative sewage disposal must
be submitted for review and approval by the City Engineer. Even if such a plan is
submitted, we would recommend the City Council not take action to approve the interim
alternative septic system until after the contract for the Mississippi Shores project has
been awarded. Again, this is likely to occur at the City Council meeting on 27 June
2005.
Parking/Loading. The site plan illustrates 45 parking stalls. However, all or a portion
of 17 of these stalls or the drive aisle required to access them are within the existing
public right-of-way based on anticipated vacation of the street following completion of
the Mississippi Shores project. These stalls cannot be counted towards meeting the
required number of stalls prior to vacation of the public right-of-way. Until the City
Council vacates the existing right-of-way, the site plan provides only 27 parking stalls.
There are 22 parking stalls within the existing parking lot. The site plan also does not
indicate provision of disability accessible stalls which must be provided near the building
entrance with a van accessibility aisle.
Section 20-21-9 of the Zoning Ordinance requires that daycare facilities provide one off-
street parking stall per four persons of licensed capacity. Based on a State license for
159 children, 40 parking stalls are required. To address the interim period between the
existing 22 stalls and construction of the proposed 45 stalls, we recommend the
applicant secure employee parking off-site at one of the other properties within the
Mississippi Shores development. Each of the other sites within the area have an
oversupply of parking that could accommodate employees of the proposed daycare on
a temporary basis during construction.
Section 20-30-5.E.1 of the Zoning Ordinance also requires that any off-street parking for
a daycare use be separate from any outdoor play area. The proposed parking is to be
located on the south side of the building, whereas there is a fenced outdoor play area
on the north side of the building. The site plan does illustrate a future driveway
extending around the west side of the building to the rear of the lot. This driveway
comes right up to the play area and we would recommend that the play area be
reconfigured to provide at least a five foot setback at such time as the driveway may be
extended.
Signage. The submitted building elevation illustrates installation of a new wall sign and
freestanding sign. No scaled plans for these signs or a site plan showing the location
of the freestanding sign has been submitted. No signs may be placed on the property
until all required information has been submitted and a sign permit issued for
compliance with Chapter 37 of the Zoning Ordinance.
State Requirements. Daycare facilities are subject to State licensing requirements. As
a condition of CUP approval, the operator of the daycare is required to conform to all
applicable state requirements and maintain their license with the State.
RECOMMENDATION
The CUP application for Riverview Daycare requires further action by the City Council
regarding the extension of sanitary sewer and vacation of existing right-of-way to be
compliant with applicable provisions of the Otsego City Code and Zoning Ordinance.
Given that the decision to award the Mississippi Shores project lies with the City
Council, we do recommend that the Planning Commission act in the affirmative on the
applications as outlined below.
4
However, we suggest that upon receipt of the recommendations from the Planning
Commission, the City Council delay action on the interim alternative septic system until
after the public project extending sanitary sewer and water utilities to the subject site
has been awarded. The City Council is not required to act upon the request until 15
July 2005 based on Minnesota Statues 15.99. The applicant should also be required to
secure temporary off-site parking for employees to ensure adequate supply based on
Zoning Ordinance requirements during the City construction project and improvement of
the site.
POSSIBLE ACTIONS
Decision 1 — Septic System
A. Motion to approve an alternative septic system for Riverview Daycare subject to
the following conditions:
A plan for interim holding tanks for sewage treatment shall be submitted.
The design and capacity of the holding tanks and frequency at which they
are to be emptied shall be subject to approval by the City Engineer.
2. Use of the holding tanks shall be discontinued upon extension of sanitary
sewer service to the property and the property shall immediately connect
to municipal utilities.
3. The applicant shall enter into a development contract agreeing that
allowing the use of holding tanks is an interim measure and that nothing
shall limit the City's ability to special assess, levy a SAC or otherwise bill
the property for the availability of municipal sanitary sewer and the
associated public improvements.
B. Motion to deny the request for an alternative septic system based on the
following findings:
The City Council is considering a public project to immediately extend
municipal sanitary sewer to the property; and,
2. Section 4-3-9.E of the City Code states that no property owner has a right
to approval of an alternative septic system; and,
3. No plans or specifications for the alternative septic system have been
submitted by the applicant in support of the request.
C. Motion to table.
Decision 2- Conditional Use Permit
A. Motion to approve a conditional use permit for Riverview Daycare, subject to the
following conditions:
Sewage treatment facilities shall be provided subject to conformance with
the Otsego City Code and approval of the City Engineer.
2. The applicant shall secure temporary use of off-site parking facilities within
the Mississippi Shores subdivision to provide for the number of off-street
parking stalls required by Section 20-21-9 of the Zoning Ordinance until
such time as the pending City improvement project and site improvements
are completed.
3. All signs shall conform to the provisions of Chapter 37 of the Zoning
Ordinance and shall require issuance of a sign permit by the City prior to
installation on the property.

Re: Riverview Daycare, Lot 1 Block 1 Mississippi Shores 7th Addition
Upon review of the Site Plan "A" proposed by Landcor Companies we have the following comments:
1. The title block be revised to read "Riverview Daycare Site, Otsego, Minnesota".
2. Show the existing well and septic system locations.
3. The existing on, -site septic system is has failed and for public health and safety reasons, use
has been discontinued. Adequate sanitary sewer service for the building currently does not
exist. The city is extending a trunk sanitary sewer line past this property in conjunction
with the Mississippi Shores ba' and 7a` Frontage Road Improvement project scheduled for
the summer 2005 construction season. Bids are scheduled to be opened on June 23 with
approval likely at the June 27 City Council meeting,
The property owner has requested the use of the existing holding tanks in the interni with
daily pumping until the connection for the truck sewer line is available. We are concerned
that the daily pumping will not be adequate to prevent health and safety concerns associated
with the failed existing system. Connection to the trunk sewer line would require the
extension of a service line between the existing building and the adjacent business. The
city will require plans for the sewer line extension between the buildings be submitted for
review.
We recommend occupancy for the building not be granted until adequate sanitary sewer
service is provided for the building.
4. Add two handicap stalls with one being van accessible.
5. Revise the site plan for compliance with ordinance for off street parking, setback and
number of stalls. The completion of the Frontage Road Improvement project will result in
the right-of-way becoming part of the adjacent property owners property. This proposed
condition will affect the parking layout for the site.

Otsego — Waterfront East Building 1; Development Stage Plan
27 May 2005 ACTION DATE: 15 July 2005
176.02 — 05.21 CITY FILE: 2005-33
Landcor Companies has submitted a PUD Development Stage Plan for Outlot L of
Waterfront East to construct a 24,000 square foot commercial building. The subject site
is located at the southwest corner of future 90th Street and Quantrelle Avenue, east of
TH 101. A PUD District was established on 10 November 2003 with the subdivision of
Waterfront East to specify allowed uses and performance standards for the
development, including the subject site.
Exhibits:
A.
Site location
B.
Site Plan
C.
Landscape Plan
D.
Grading Plan
E.
Utility Plan
ANALYSIS
Comprehensive Plan. The Comprehensive Plan guides the subject site for
commercial land use as part of the City's primary commercial area at TH 101 and CSAH
39. The Comprehensive Plan anticipates development of a full range of retail, service
and office type commercial uses in this area of the City to serve both local and regional
market needs.
Zoning. The subject site is zoned PUD District with allowed uses the same as set forth
by the B-3, General Business District. No specific uses for the proposed building are
specified on the submitted application, which identifies the building only as retail office
consistent with the Waterfront East PUD District. These generalized uses would be
allowed under the PUD District, but the developer must specify the intended use(s) of
the proposed building in terms of floor area.
Building Design. The site plan indicates that the proposed building is to be a two story
structure with a gross floor area of 24,000 square feet. No building elevations or floor
plans have been submitted to allow review of the proposed building for compliance with
the requirements of the PUD District. These plans must be submitted for review by City
staff prior to consideration of the application by the Planning Commission.
Landscape Plan. A landscape plan for the subject site has been submitted. The plan
illustrates boulevard trees along. 90th Street and Quantrelle Avenue consistent with the
preliminary design shown on the Waterfront East concept. Intensive plantings are
shown at the base of the proposed building, especially at the east end of the structure
where an outdoor patio is shown. The quantities and sizes of the proposed plantings
are appropriate, as are the plant types. We would recommend that the Amur Maple
trees specified on the plan be replaced as these plants can be invasive.
Access. Vehicle access to the subject site will be provided by reconstruction of 90th
Street and Quantrelle Avenue, which is being done as a City project. The City has
coordinated plans for these streets with MNDoT regarding the pending TH 101 project
upgrading the intersection of TH 101 and CSAH 39 to a freeway interchange. Full
access to the subject site and Nathe 101 Garden Center during will be maintained
during the City construction project and TH 101 project.
The location of the site access to Quantrelle Avenue is on the inside of a curved street
and must be reviewed by the City Engineer. At a minimum, this access must be aligned
with the access to Outlot K shown on the opposite side of Quantrelle Avenue.
Pedestrian access to the subject site is to be provided by perimeter sidewalks on the
north, west and south sides of the building and interior lot connections with future
development of Outlot M to the west. Additionally, a public skyway connection over 90th
Street is to be constructed between Outlots L/M and Outlot G/H. Plans for the skyway
connection must be submitted for review by the Planning Commission and approval of
the City Council prior to anticipated construction.
Off -Street Parking. Absent identification of the uses that are to occupy the proposed
building or the floor plans of the proposed building, we cannot determine off-street
parking requirements. Assuming occupancy of the building by retail or office uses at
one stall per 200 square feet, 108 parking stalls would be required. Additional parking
would be required if a restaurant use is to occupy the building. The site plan shows only
84 stalls. Future construction of additional parking on other outlots within Waterfront
East would be anticipated to off -set the potential deficit of parking on the subject site,
but the interim situation must be addressed. In order to fully evaluate the needs for on -
2
site parking, the developer must identify the proposed uses of the building and their
respective floor areas prior to Planning Commission consideration of the application.
Off -Street Loading. The proposed building does not appear to have traditional loading
areas. The expectation is that any retail use of the building would receive deliveries
through individual front doors. In anticipation of this type of delivery, the site plan must
illustrate turning radii for semi -tractor trailers to illustrate the feasibility of site ingress
and egress. Egress from the site may require construction of a second access to
Quantrelle Avenue to the south in advance of construction of the proposed building on
Outlot M. Designated loading areas for typical office deliveries such as supplies or
courier services must also be identified.
Lighting Plan. No plans for exterior lights have been submitted. The developer must
submit information showing the type, location, height and illumination pattern of all
proposed site lighting. Light fixtures must have a 90 degree horizontal cut-off directing
light downward and light cast at the property line may not exceed one -foot candle. The
required lighting plan must be submitted prior to Planning Commission consideration of
the request.
Trash. The site plan does not indicate an exterior trash storage area. Unless trash is
to be handled within the building, an exterior enclosure for trash containers must be
identified on the site plan. Accommodations for handling trash will be verified upon
submission of required building floor plans.
Signage. No plans for signs have been submitted. All signs must conform to Chapter
37 of the Zoning Ordinance and the PUD District Design Guidelines. A sign permit
approved by City staff is required prior to construction of any signs on the subject site.
Final Plat. The applicant must submit a final plat and complete construction plans for
the subject site to convert the existing outlot into a buildable lot/block designation. The
application for final plat approval may follow City Council action on the PUD
Development Stage Plan. However, consistent with the direction of the City Council all
plans must be finalized and approved by City staff and a development contract
executed prior to City Council consideration of a final plat application.
RECOMMENDATION
The information submitted with the application for PUD Development Stage Plan
approval for Outlot L are incomplete. Identification of proposed uses and plans for the
exterior building elevations, building floor plans, off-street loading, site lighting, signs
and trash handling must be submitted prior to Planning Commission consideration of
the request to allow City staff an opportunity to review the application for compliance
with applicable development regulations.
3
POSSIBLE ACTIONS
A. Motion to approve a PUD Development Stage Plan for Outlot L of WFE, subject
to the following conditions:

RE: Otsego — Zoning Ordinance; WS District Boundary Amendment
NAC FILE: 176.23
The Governor signed a bill on 26 April 2005 amending the boundaries of the Wild
Scenic and Recreational River District within the City of Otsego. This amendment
removes the area shown on the attached map from the WS District. Rottlund Homes
had initiated the legislative effort as a means to allow for development of the property
affected by the amendment at urban densities.
In order to implement the legislative change to the boundaries, the City must also
amend its Zoning Ordinance and Zoning Map. A public hearing has been scheduled for
6 June 2005 to consider the proposed amendment. A redlined copy of the proposed
Zoning Ordinance amendment is attached for review. We recommend approval of the
proposed amendment in the form attached hereto as it is consistent with State law.

MEMORANDUM
TO: Otsego Planning Commission
FROM: Laurie Shives/Daniel Licht
DATE: May 25, 2005
RE: Otsego — Zoning Ordinance; Front Yard Setbacks
FILE: 176.23
BACKGROUND
City staff has initiated an amendment of the Zoning Ordinance proposing a change to
front yard setbacks required within the commercial, industrial and institutional zoning
districts based on the direction established by the 2004 Comprehensive Plan update.
Exhibits:
A. Draft amendment
ANALYSIS
Front yard setbacks within commercial, industrial and institutional zoning districts are as
shown below. The proposed Zoning Ordinance amendment would eliminate the
separate front yard setbacks based on the functional classification of the abutting street.
Instead a front yard setback of 30 feet would be required regardless of the functional
classification of the adjacent street.

The Comprehensive Plan discusses the need for the City to reconsider the existing front
yard setbacks for commercial and industrial zoning districts. The current setback
requirements were carried over into the City's Zoning Ordinance from Wright County
after incorporation in 1991. As it states in the Comprehensive Plan, the 65 foot setback
from arterial and major collector streets is more appropriate for residential uses to
minimize impacts caused by corresponding heavy traffic. In commercial and industrial
(as well as institutional) districts, significant traffic volumes or speeds is often a benefit
and not usually an adverse impact on the uses. A reduction in the required front yard
setback would also create greater efficiency in the utilization and development of land
because the potential building envelope will be larger. Thus, a 30 foot setback from the
street right-of-way along all street classifications is proposed to maintain an open
streetscape and to also allow adequate visibility in commercial, industrial and
institutional zoning districts.
CONCLUSION
City Staff recommends approval of the proposed Zoning Ordinance amendment in the
form attached hereto. A public hearing has been scheduled for the Planning
Commission meeting on 6 June 2005.
