Golden Valley, MN 55422 TP4i4p on(---: 76'3.231.2555 Foc:sirnile: 763.231.2561 F�lii►�nerg'e nar;F)IE]rlrli►tc�.ac�►Y� PLANNING REPORT TO: FROM: DATE: RE: FILE NO: BACKGROUND Otsego Planning Commission Laurie Shives / Daniel Licht, AICP 22 May 2006 Otsego — Powell Second Driveway CUP 176.02 — 06.18 Richard Powell of 9110 Ochoa Circle NE is requesting the installation of a second driveway to access a proposed detached accessory garage. The property is zoned R-2, Residential — Long Range Urban Service District (Large Lot). Section 20-21-4.1-1.1 1.d of the Zoning Ordinance requires approval of a conditional use permit for installation of more than one access to a public street for single family lots within the R-2 District. Exhibits: A. Site Location B. Site Plan C. Site Photos ANALYSIS Second Access. Section 20-21-4.H.11.d(2) of the Zoning Ordinance provides that lots within the R-2 District be allowed not more than two (2) accesses per property by conditional use permit. The decision as to approval of the CUP is to be based on the following criteria: 1. There is a demonstrated need for more than one (1) lot access due to physical site constraints (soils, steep slopes, significant vegetation, ponds or wetlands) or • the location of the existing principal buildings. Comment: The applicant is proposing to construct a detached accessory garage within the southwest corner of this corner lot and is requesting a second driveway to access this garage. The proposed garage location is within a clearing of existing mature trees on the property making it a logical place for an accessory structure while preserving the tree coverage on the lot. 2. The lot shall have a minimum of one hundred fifty (150) feet of frontage to a public street. Comment: The subject site is located on a corner and has approximately 320 feet of frontage to Ochoa Circle and abuts 91St Street NE to the north. The existing driveway access to an attached garage is off of Ochoa Circle NE and the applicant is proposing to have the second driveway access off of Ochoa Circle NE as well, approximately 175 feet from the existing principal driveway. 3. The location of all access points shall be subject to compliance with Section 20- 21-4.H.7 of the Zoning Ordinance and approval of the City Engineer and the County Engineer when applicable. Comment: The location of the proposed second driveway is shown to be more than five feet from a side lot line and more than 60 feet from an intersection of two streets as required by the Zoning Ordinance. 4. The design of the lot access shall conform to the specifications established by the Engineering manual. Comment: Because the subject property is located within a single-family subdivision the maximum access width within the right-of-way shall not exceed thirty (30) feet. According to the submitted site plan, the second driveway appears to be about 10 feet wide, however, the applicant must verify this as a condition of approval. 5. A lot having access from two public streets (in the case of a corner lot or double frontage lot) may incur additional costs related to street improvement projects benefiting the property. Comment: The subject property is located on a corner lot and the property owner shall be responsible for additional costs related to street improvement projects benefiting the property. Surfacing. Residential single family uses located upon lots platted after 1 January 1gg2 mimt have ririvPways giirfac:Pd with asnhalt_ ronrrete; rohhlPstone or pavinn hric:k in accordance with the regulations of Section 20-21-4-H.12.b of the Zoning Ordinance. The subject property was platted prior to 1992, therefore the proposed second driveway is permitted to be surfaced with gravel. 2 CUP Criteria. In addition to the specific performance standards applicable to the allowance of a second driveway, the Planning Commission must also consider the criteria outlined in Section 20-4-21 of the Zoning Ordinance: 1. The proposed action's consistency with the specific policies and provisions of the official City Comprehensive Plan. Comment: The Comprehensive Plan establishes policies requiring the number of accesses to public streets is to be minimized to balance property access with proper traffic management, land use compatibility and to avoid private improvements within public rights-of-way. The existing mature trees on the property and the proposed location of the detached garage demonstrate a need for the second access. 2. The proposed use's compatibility with present and future land uses of the area. Comment: The subject site is located in a subdivision of two and one half acre single family lots with minimum widths of at least 150 feet. The establishment of a second driveway will be compatible with the surrounding land uses, given that they are all large, single family residential lots. 3. The proposed use's conformity with all performance standards contained in the Zoning Ordinance (i.e., parking, loading, noise, etc.). Comment: The design and location of the second driveway conforms to all applicable Zoning Ordinance and Engineering Manual performance standards. 4. The proposed use's effect upon the area in which it is proposed. Comment: The second driveway is not anticipated to have a negative effect upon the area in which it is proposed to be located. 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. l�,. .,.....,,... ...1.

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 and the property owner would be responsible for any additional costs related to street improvement projects benefiting the property. RECOMMENDATION The applicant has submitted necessary information and the proposal complies with the criteria for approval of a conditional use permit for a second driveway access to a single family lot within the R-2 District. As such, we recommend approval of the CUP as outlined below and any comments of other City staff. POSSIBLE ACTIONS A. Motion to approve a CUP allowing a second driveway located at 9110 Ochoa Circle NE subject to the following conditions: The width of the second driveway must adhere to regulations of Section 20- 21-4.H.7 which require it to be 30 feet or less and the specifications of the Engineering Manual, subject to approval of City Staff. 2. The driveway to the detached garage shall be surfaced with a material suitable to control drainage and dust. B. Motion to deny the application based on a finding that the request is inconsistent with the Comprehensive Plan and Zoning Ordinance. C. Motion to table. PC.

Wagner, PE Date: May 16, 2006 -f F _ T U MAY 1 7 2006 -- Re: Great River Acres 1't Addition —Garage Addition for Lot 6, Block 2 We have reviewed and surveyed the existing ditch of the above-mentioned property with regards to placement of a new driveway entrance off of Ochoa Circle to gain access to a proposed new garage. Using an assumed benchmark elevation of 100.0' for the south invert of the existing 12" CMP culvert under the existing driveway, we recommend a culvert be place beneath the new driveway with a south invert elevation of 103.0' and a north invert elevation of 102.0'. ITEM 3-2 NORTHWEST ASSOCIATED CONSULTANTS, INC. 4800 Olson Memorial Highway, Suite 202, Golden Valley, MN 55422 Telephone. 763.231.2555 Facsimile: 763.231.2561 plan nerssaynacplanning.com PLANNING REPORT TO: Otsego Planning Commission FROM: Daniel Licht, AICP RE: Otsego — Grupa Preliminary/Final Plat and CUP REPORT DATE: 31 May 2006 NAC FILE: 176.02 — 06.17 BACKGROUND Scott and Melanie Grupa have acquired the property located at 13462 96th Avenue, which is currently developed with a dilapidated single family dwelling and a detached accessory building. The Grupas intend to demolish the existing buildings on the property and construct a new single family dwelling and detached accessory building. The subject site located at the northeast corner of 96th Street and Nashua Avenue consists of three lots of the Townsite of Otsego Plat. Construction of a new home upon the property required the three lots to be combined into one parcel by preliminary/final plat. The subject site is zoned R-1, Residential Long Range Urban Service District (River Frontage) and is within the WS, Wild, Scenic and Recreational River Overlay District. The area of the combined parcel is less than required in the R-1 District and WS District. As such, a conditional use permit is required for redevelopment of a non- conforming lot of record in accordance with Section 20-15-5.2.13 of the Zoning Ordinance. Exhibits: A. Site location B. Site Survey ANALYSIS Lot Area and Width. Lots within the R-1 District and WS District are required to have a minimum lot area of 2.50 acres. The area of the subject site is approximately 0.75 acres. Lots within the R-1 District and WS District are required to have a minimum lot width of 200 feet. The subject site is 197.97 feet wide along 96th Street, which is less than required. Section 20-95-4 of the Zoning Ordinance regulating substandard lots in the WS District existing upon the effective date of the Zoning Ordinance allows for their development provided that the lot is at least 20,000 square feet in area (0.46 acres) and adequate sewage disposal facilities are provided for. Section 20-15-2.13 of the Zoning Ordinance regulating development of non -conforming lots generally allows redevelopment of the existing non -conforming lot as a conditional use provided that all setback requirements are met. Setbacks. The table below illustrates required setbacks. Note that the subject site is not a riparian lot (i.e., a lot abutting the waters edge) so no unique WS District setbacks apply. The proposed house and detached garage conform to all applicable setbacks. Nashua Ave. 96 St. North East Required 35ft. 35ft 1Oft. 50ft. House 35ft. 35ft. 50ft. 95ft. Det. Garage 120ft. 62ft. 64ft. 50ft. Utilities. The proposed house will be served by on-site septic treatment and a well. The submitted survey does not identify the location of the proposed septic system and the required primary and secondary drainfield sites. The design and construction of the on-site septic system must comply with Chapter 4, Section 3 of the City Code and Minnesota Rules 7080. All utilities are subject to approval of the City Engineer. Access. The attached garage and detached garage to be constructed are proposed to be accessed from 96th Street. The driveway measures 32 feet wide at the property line, whereas only 30 feet is allowed by Section 20-21-4.H.7.a of the Zoning Ordinance. The site plan must be revised such that the driveway design is consistent with the Zoning Ordinance and engineering manual. Accessory Building. The detached garage shown on the site plan has an area of 1,120 square feet. Section 20-16-4.13.6 of the Zoning Ordinance allows lots one acre in area or less to have a detached accessory building not larger than 1,000 square feet. The area of the proposed detached garage must be reduced to 1,000 square feet. Prpliminary/Final Plat, ThP ci ihjart city Pxictc aq thraa Int.-, of thg Tnwncita of ntca'n plat. This plat was established in the 1850s and the City no longer recognizes individual development rights for these parcels. In conjunction with the redevelopment of the property, a preliminary/final plat combining the three lots into one parcel is required. The preliminary/final plat must provide for a 10 foot drainage and utility easement at the perimeter. As the preliminary/final plat does not include public rights-of-way or other 2 easements, it is not necessary to vacate the Townsite of Otsego plat. Submission of a preliminary/final plat based on the existing survey may be made a condition of approval. CUP Criteria. Section 20-4-2.F of the Zoning Ordinance outlines criteria that the decision of the Planning Commission is to be based upon (but not limited to) in evaluating the proposed conditional use: The proposed action's consistency with the specific policies and provisions of the official City Comprehensive Plan. Comment: The subject site is guided for rural residential uses by the Comprehensive Plan. Redevelopment of the existing non -conforming lot of record is a unique situation regulated by the Zoning Ordinance. The Comprehensive Plan calls for redevelopment of substandard land uses where possible to improve and sustain existing older neighborhoods within the City. The removal of the existing dilapidated buildings on the subject site is consistent with this goal as is redevelopment of a new residential dwelling. 2. The proposed use's compatibility with present and future land uses of the area. Comment: The area surrounding the subject site is developed with existing single family homes to the west, north and east. The City's current public works facility is to the south of the subject site, but this use will be relocated to the City Campus late in 2006. The proposed use is compatible with existing and planned uses in the area. 3. The proposed use's conformity with all performance standards contained in the Zoning Ordinance (i.e., parking, loading, noise, etc.). Comment: With exception of the legal non -conforming lot area and lot width dimensions of the subject site, all setbacks and other performance standards are complied with. 4. The proposed use's effect upon the area in which it is proposed. Comment: The proposed use will remove a dilapidated building and improve the character of the area. 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 driticIlJdLeu iu reyduveiy irripad area pruperry values. 6. Traffic generation by the proposed use in relation to the capabilities of streets serving the property. Comment: The proposed use is not anticipated to result in an increase in traffic generated from the subject 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. RECOMMENDATION The proposed redevelopment of a non -conforming parcel of record is consistent with the provisions of the Zoning Ordinance for such action and is positive in that it will remove an existing dilapidated structure from the neighborhood. We recommend approval of the applications as set forth below: POSSIBLE ACTIONS A. Motion to approve a CUP and preliminary/final plat allowing redevelopment of a non -conforming lot of record subject to the following conditions: The design and construction of the on-site septic system must comply with Chapter 4, Section 3 of the City Code and Minnesota Rules 7080, subject to approval of the City Engineer. 2. The proposed detached garage shall comply with the provisions of Section 20-16-4.6 of the Zoning Ordinance 3. Driveway access to the subject site shall not be wider than 30 feet at the property line in conformance with Section 20-21-4.H.7.a of the Zoning Ordinance and the Engineering Manual. 4. A preliminary/final plat based on the certificate of survey of the subject site shall be submitted. The preliminary/final plat shall provide a 10 foot drainage and utility easement at the perimeter of the lot and shall be subject to review and approval of City staff. 5.

The applicant is requesting to construct a new 3,500 square foot office building and a 6,000 square foot maintenance shop with 1,200 square feet of cold storage for the operator's civil construction business. The subject site is zoned 1-2, General Industrial District and contractor operations are allowed uses within the 1-2 District. The applicant is also requesting to have outside equipment storage within the rear yard of the site, which is allowed in the 1-2 District upon approval of a CUP. Exhibits: A. Site Location B. Site Plan C. Grading Plan D. Building Elevations E. Building Floor Plans F. Liahtina Plan G. Landscape Plan ANALYSIS Zoning. The subject site is zoned 1-2, General Industrial District and the proposed construction office/shop facility is a permitted use within that district. The off-street parking of vehicles and equipment is a permitted accessory use and outside storage of materials and equipment is a permitted conditional use within 1-2 Districts. The subject site is guided for future industrial uses by the Comprehensive Plan. Lot Area and Setbacks. The minimum lot area for the 1-2 District is two acres. The subject site is five acres in size, which is exceeds the lot area requirements for the 1-2 District. Required district setbacks for the front yard are 30 feet from right-of-way lines, 20 feet the side yards and 25 feet for the rear yard. The submitted site plan indicates that the proposed buildings will be fronting 71st Street NE and will comply with all required setbacks. Building Materials and Design. The applicant is proposing to construct the office building using EFTS, brick and concrete block materials. The proposed office building will also have several windows on all building elevations. The proposed design and use of materials for the office building is consistent with the requirements of Section 20-17-4 of the Zoning Ordinance. The proposed shop and warehousing facility is to be constructed using precast concrete wall panels. Because the building is located within the 1-2 District, pre -cast concrete wall panels are a permitted building material for all building facades. The shop/warehouse building is proposed to have three loading areas with 14 foot x 4 foot overhead doors on the east and west building facades. There is also proposed to be one 10 foot x 12 foot overhead door on the west and north sides of the building. Landscaping. Section 20-16-7.0 of the Zoning Ordinance requires that all new income producing properties provide landscaping around the boundary/perimeter of the site at points adjoining other property, the immediate perimeter of the proposed structure(s) and the perimeter of all parking and loading areas. The applicant has submitted a landscape plan showing the addition of several trees and shrubs along the front yard as well as surrounding the proposed office building's front entrance. The submitted landscape plan also indicates the addition of 39 Black Hills Spruce and Scotch pine trees and a two to four foot high berm along the west and north property lines to provide screening from adjacent properties. The applicant has not provided landscaping along the eastern perimeter of the site. However, this side lot line will adjoin with a proposed exterior storage yard on the property to the east. Because the two exterior storage yards with be adjacent to each other along that property, City staff feels that landscaping for screening purposes is unnecessary. As such, it appears as though the site is sufficiently landscaped given the site location and the proposed use. Access. The proposed site will have ingress/egress access via 715' Street NE. The proposed site design provides for adequate turning radius for passenger vehicles and trucks, including semi tractor -trailers. The applicant is proposing a 40 -foot wide driveway off of 71St Street NE to accommodate heavy truck traffic hauling construction equipment. Section 20-21-4.H.7.a of the Zoning Ordinance allows for a maximum street access width onto a public street of 24 feet for industrial uses unless otherwise approved by the City Engineer. The proposed street access is subject to the approval of the City Engineer. Off -Street Parking. The site plan indicates a total of 12 parking spaces including one disability accessible space. According to the business owner, Northdale Construction has about five seasonal employees. Of that, only two employees would remain on the subject site on any given day and they would primarily be stationed within the proposed office building. Below are the calculations for required parking spaces based on the floor area of the principal and accessory buildings and uses: Office = 3 spaces + (3,500 sf. x 0.90) / 200 sf. = 19 spaces Phase 2 Office = (2,600 square feet x 0.90)/200 sf. = 12 spaces Shop = 8 spaces + ((6,000 sf. — 1,000 sf.) x 0.90) / 800 = 14 spaces Warehouse =((1,200 square feet x 0.90) / 1,000 square feet))= 2 spaces TOTAL= 47 spaces The majority of the employees are traveling to/from the site and are stationed on job sites throughout the Metro Area. Moreover, the seasonal nature of the proposed construction business, as well as the fact that the vast majority of the business's work is conducted off-site suggests that there is not demand for 47 parking stalls on site. As such, City staff recommends that the applicant revise the site plan to show "proof of parking" on the site while only constructing 12 stalls initially. An agreement allowing that the City Council may, at its discretion, require construction of the additional parking spaces upon a finding that additional stalls are required will also be necessary. Outdoor Storage. The submitted site plan indicates an area of outside equipment storage encompassing the rear yard of the site. Outside storage is a permitted conditional use within the 1-2 District provided that: 1. The storage area is landscaped, fenced and screened from view of neighboring uses and abutting residential districts. Comment: The applicant shall be required to fence the proposed outside storage area as a condition of approval. The proposed fence shall be consistent with the requirements of Section 20-16-7.A.2 of the Zoning Ordinance. 2. Storage is landscaped and screened from view from the public right of way. 3 Comment: The applicant shall be required to provide a fence around the proposed outside storage area perimeter to provide screening from 71St Street NE and has submitted a landscape plan for additional protection. 3. Storage area is blacktopped or concrete surfaced. Comment: The site plan indicates that the proposed outside storage area will be surfaced with gravel rather than asphalt or concrete. Section 20-21-4.H.12 allows for an exception to the surfacing rule for industrial uses which experience frequent, heavy equipment utilization, such as the operator's civil contracting business. As such, the applicant may be allowed to surface the outside storage area with a material other than asphalt or concrete suitable to control dust and drainage, such as gravel, subject to review and approval of the City Engineer. 4. All lighting shall be hooded and so directed that the light source shall not be visible from the public right-of-way of from neighboring properties. Comment: The applicant is not proposing to have exterior lighting within the outside storage area. 5. The storage area does not take up parking space or loading space as required for conformity to this Chapter. Comment: The remainder of the subject site provides for adequate parking and loading space. Signs. The applicant has submitted a detailed drawing of a proposed monument sign, however, the site plan does not indicate the proposed location of this monument sign. Prior to erection of any signs on the subject site, an application for a sign permit must be received and approved by City staff. Such applications shall indicate any proposed lighting and landscaping of the sign. All proposed signs shall be in compliance with Section 20-37-5.0 of the Zoning Ordinance. Lighting Plan. The applicant has submitted a lighting plan which includes the proposed photometric plan. The applicant is proposing to install a total of 12 wall mounted lights along the proposed building exteriors. All lighting must be a shoebox fixture with 90 degree cut-off consistent with the requirements of Section 20-16-10 of the Zoning Ordinance. Trash Storage. The submitted plans do not indicate an area designated as trash storage. As stated in Section 20-16-15.6.2 of the Zoning Ordinance, all refuse, recyclable materials and necessary handling equipment shall be stored within the principal structure, within an accessory structure or fully screened from view from all neighboring uses and the public right-of-way. 4 Utilities. The applicant has not submitted a utility plan. The site plan indicates the location of two septic mound areas, one within the required front yard and one within the rear yard of the subject site. However, because the site is located within the west sanitary sewer district and utilities are within the area, City staff is recommending that sanitary sewer and water be extended to the remaining vacant lots of the Otsego 1-94 Industrial Park and that all new users connect. All utility plans and issues shall be subject to the review and approval of the City Engineer. Grading, Drainage and Erosion Control. The applicant has submitted a grading, drainage and erosion control plan. All grading, drainage and erosion control matters shall be subject to the review and approval of the City Engineer. CUP Criteria. The applicant is requesting a CUP to allow for outside storage within the rear yard of the subject site. Prior to making a decision on this request, the Planning Commission and City Council shall consider the CUP criteria outlined in Section 20-4- 2.F of the Zoning Ordinance, as follows: The proposed action's consistency with the specific policies and provisions of the official City Comprehensive Plan. Comment: The subject site is guided for industrial uses as provided for in the City's Comprehensive Plan. The proposed use is a permitted conditional use in the 1-2 District and, as such, is in line with the provisions of the Comprehensive Plan. 2. The proposed use's compatibility with present and future land uses of the area. Comment: The proposed use is located within an established industrial park. Properties immediately adjacent to the site are also zoned 1-2, General Industrial District, while properties in the surrounding area are presently zoned A-1, Agricultural Rural Service Area but are guided for industrial uses by the Comprehensive Plan. The proposed use is compatible with existing and planned uses in the area. 3. The proposed use's conformity with all performance standards contained in the Zoning Ordinance (i.e., parking, loading, noise, etc.). Comment: The design of the proposed Northdale Construction facility shall conform to all applicable Zoning Ordinance and Engineering Manual performance standards. 4. The proposed use's effect upon the area in which it is proposed. Comment: The proposed new construction business is not anticipated to have any negative effect upon the area in which it is located. 5 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 new facility 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 new facility will generate some additional traffic to and from the subject site, however, this additional traffic will be easily accommodated via 71St Street NE and Kadler Avenue NE. 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 subject site is located within the West Sanitary Sewer District, and as such, the applicant must provide for connections to these City utilities. The WWTP currently has 1,029 RECs for commercial or industrial uses available and, therefore, the proposed use is not anticipated to overburden the City's service capacity. RECOMMENDATION Based upon the submitted materials and the preceding review, we recommend approval of the site and building plans and conditional use permit to allow construction of the proposed industrial use as outlined below. POSSIBLE ACTIONS Decision 1 A. Motion to approve site and building plans and a CUP allowing for construction of a new office and warehouse building with outdoor storage located on Lot 1, Block 2, Otsego 1-94 Industrial Park, subject to the following conditions: 1. The proposed street access width of 40 feet shall be subject to the approval of the City Engineer. 2. City Council may require construction of off-street parking stalls as required by Section 21 of the Zoning Ordinance upon a determination that the additional stalls are required to meet on-site demand and prevent congestion in the public street. 3. Prior to erection of any signs on the subject site, an application for a sign permit must be received and approved by City staff. All proposed signs shall be in compliance with Section 20-37-5.0 of the Zoning Ordinance. 4. All proposed exterior lighting shall maintain a 90 degree cut-off and shall be consistent with the requirements of Section 20-16-10 of the Zoning Ordinance. 5.

Anderson Engineering Tom Moorse, HTG Architects From: Ronald J. Wagner, P.E. Date: May 25, 2006 Re: Otsego I-94 West Industrial Park 4th Addition — Northdale Construction Lot 1, Block 2 We have reviewed the Construction plans, dated 5/02/06, for the above -referenced project and would offer the following comments: Site Layout With the submittal of Otsego I-94 Industrial Park 4th Addition the City is considering water and sewer be run from Kadler Avenue to connect the Industrial Park to city utilities. Preliminary plans have an 8" PVC sanitary sewer main flowing from west to east along the north R.O.W. of 71St Street and an 8" DIP watermain along the R.O.W. south of 71" Street. 2. A Final Plat shall be submitted depicting all drainage and utility easements, R.O.W., setbacks, and lot dimensions. Currently the placement of the front, side, rear yard setbacks appear acceptable as well as the easements, buildings and parking lot locations. Adjacent zoning information shall be provided. 4. Very few parking spaces are proposed (12 stalls and 1 handicap stall). Refer to Dan Licht's comments pertaining to parking spaces being provided. ot2500northdalervwl Page 2 of 2 Grading, Drainage, and Erosion Control Soil Borings locations shall be depicted on the grading plans. Borings in both of the proposed septic mound locations are required. The test results shall be submitted to the city for review. The septic mound locations and pavement section shall be based on the Geotechnical Engineer's recommendation. 2. The storm water runoff for the gravel Outside Equipment Storage area shall be routed to the front of the site. The flow to the west travels to a wetland on the adjacent property. The flow to the east travels through a swale across the adjacent property. Both properties do not have and easements covering the cross drainage. Routing the runoff to the front of the site will allow the ditch along 71" Street to carry the flow to an existing pond to be treated. 3. The 18" storm sewer culvert shall be RCP. 4. The septic mound locations shall be marked off prior to the start of grading to avoid any traffic over the proposed sites unless the city provides water and sewr to the area. Minimum grades across the gravel outside equipment storage area shall be 1.5%. The grading near the rear central storage area shall be revised. 5. In "Notes" the 2005 Edition of MnDOT Standard Construction Specifications shall be used. 6. The 20' side yard setback is mislabeled 25'. Hakanson Anderson Assoc., Inc.

The 190.14 acre site is located east of TH 101 between 60th Street and 70th Street. The Comprehensive Plan guides the site for a mix of industrial, medium density residential and low density residential uses. A portion of the southwest corner of the property is zoned 1-2 General Industrial District. The balance of the property is zoned A-1, Agriculture Rural Service District. The applicant is requesting a zoning map amendment to include 142.09 acres of the subject site within the 1-2 District and PUD-CUP/preliminary plat approval of eight lots and five outlots. The applicant is also requesting concurrent approval of a final plat dedicating right-of-way for Queens Avenue between 60th Street and 70th Street to allow a City project extending utilities to the southeast quadrant of the City to be undertaken in 2006. Finally, the total floor area of proposed industrial uses requires a mandatory environmental review process. The developer has prepared and a draft Alternative Urban Area Review document as part of this process. Exhibits: A. Site location B. Preliminary Plat (4 sheets) C. Landscape Plan (5 sheets) D. Grading Plan (4 sheets) E. Utility Plan (4 sheets) F. Final Plat (4 sheets) ANALYSIS Zoning. The applicant is requesting rezoning of Block 1 to 1-2 District to allow for the proposed industrial office/warehouse uses permitted in that district. The applicant is also requesting a PUD -CUP to allow for development of Block 1 in a unit/base lot configuration. Consideration of the rezoning and PUD -CUP applications is to be based upon (but not limited to) the following criteria outlined in 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 area east of TH 101 for industrial uses to Queens Avenue with medium-high and low density residential uses east of Queens Avenue. The location of Queens Avenue is approximately an eighth of a mile east of the route shown on the Transportation Plan due to the need to meet Wright County intersection spacing requirements to CSAH 37, avoiding wetland impacts and expanding the area available for industrial use. As natural resource protection, development of industrial uses for expanded tax base and job creation and proper traffic management are all goals of the Comprehensive Plan, the proposed development plan is appropriate. 2. The proposed use's compatibility with present and future land uses of the area. Comment: The proposed industrial use is consistent with the Comprehensive Plan which anticipates transition to low density residential uses east of Queens Avenue. Existing development in the area is limited to large acre rural parcels and farmsteads and no compatibility issues are anticipated with these uses. 3. The proposed use's conformity with all performance standards contained in the Zoning Ordinance (i.e., parking, loading, noise, etc.). Comment: The proposed industrial use will comply with all applicable Zoning Ordinance, Subdivision Ordinance and Engineering Manual requirements. 4. The proposed use's effect upon the area in which it is proposed. Comment: The proposed use will have a positive effect upon the area facilitating extension of trunk utilities and collector streets to accommodate existing and anticipated land uses in the southeast area of the City. 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. 2 Comment: Queens Avenue is being designed in consideration of the land uses guided by the Comprehensive Plan to ensure that anticipated traffic can be accommodated both on the street and at major intersections. 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 facilitate and utilize extension of trunk utilities and transportation infrastructure while expanding the City's tax base and creating job opportunities resulting in a positive effect on the City's service capabilities. Access. Primary access to the industrial uses and future residential development of Outlot D will be via Queens Avenue, which the City will construct between 60th Street and 70th Street in late 2006 or early 2007. Queens Avenue is provided with a 100 foot wide right-of-way on the preliminary plat for a two lane road with third continuous left turn lane in the center necessary to accommodate anticipated truck traffic turning to/from the Gateway North site. Driveways to Queens Avenue have been located in collaboration with the City Engineer to ensure proper traffic movement Buildings #1, #2 and #3 also have shared access to 60th Street. The preliminary plat illustrates right-of-way for the 60th Street cul-de-sac, but the final plat does not. As this cul-de-sac serves only the Gateway North development and two principal buildings on one lot to the south, a full 80 feet of right-of-way required for a typical commercial street may not be necessary. The final plat is to be revised to illustrate right-of-way necessary for 60th Street subject to approval of the City Engineer. The existing right-of-way for 65th Street is not shown on the preliminary plat and extends from the location of future Queens Avenue to TH 101. The City has initiated the process to vacate this right-of-way and turn back the land to the applicant. A temporary intersection of 65th Street to Queens Avenue will be constructed at the south end of Outlot C as part of the current project. At such time as the property west of Outlot C develops or 65th Street requires upgrading to a collector street in accordance with the transportation plan, the 65th Street intersection with Queens Avenue will be shifted to the north to provide a better alignment. Also shown on the submitted plans is a driveway to Anoka Equine Clinic from Queens Avenue. The existing Anoka Equine Clinic access to CSAH 37 will be closed off to right-in/right-out only as part of the TH 101 project. In order for the Clinc's clients trucks and horse trailers to access the site, the driveway to Queens Avenue is necessary and encouraged. Lot Requirements. The 1-2 District requires a minimum lot area of two acres and minimum lot width of 200 feet. All of the lots exceed minimum 1-2 District lot requirements. But under the PUD -CUP, the proposed industrial lots are considered in common due to their shared access and circulation and that Lots #2 and #5 do not have direct access to a public street. The adequacy of the lot area and dimensions under these circumstances is evaluated based on compliance with setbacks and other applicable performance standards. Building Coverage. The 1-2 District limits building coverage upon a lot to 50 percent of the total lot area. The building coverage of the schematic footprints is approximately 32.1 acres or 22.6 percent of the site area. Setbacks. The table below illustrates compliance with required setbacks at the perimeter of the industrial lots within Block 1: North Queens 60 Street TH 101 Parking Ave. Street North Required 20ft. 30ft. 30ft. 30ft. 1Oft. 5ft. Proposed 200ft. 60ft. 30ft. 90ft. 12ft. 200ft. Outlots. The preliminary plat includes five outlots: outlot Purpose A Remnant to be transferred to Anoka Equine Clinic B Wetland C Remnant D Future residential development E Water tower site purchased by City The preliminary plat illustrates a ghost plat for subdivision of Outlot D with residential uses. The lots abutting Wokson Hills are anticipated to be single family lots meeting R - 4A District requirements. The larger lot abutting the water tower site may allow for medium or high density residential uses as a buffer to the industrial uses and traffic on Queens Avenue. All of the other lots are single family lots meeting R-4 District requirements. Development of the residential uses will require future application for rezoning and preliminary plat approvals. Building Plans. The preliminary plat illustrates the location of proposed buildings upon each lot. However, actual buildings have not been designed in terms of floor area or exterior design. As such, development of each of the buildings will be subject to site and building plan review by the Planning Commission and City Council prior to construction. All buildings will be expected to comply with the material and height requirements of the 1-2 District. Landscape Plan. A preliminary landscape plan has been submitted illustrating plantings at the perimeter of the site, surrounding ponding areas and in front of buildings at highly visible locations along TH 101 and Queens Avenue. Overall the type, quantity, sizes and locations of proposed plants are appropriate and will be implemented with each phase of the development. Off -Street Parking. The preliminary plat includes an analysis of off-street parking required for the schematic building footprints and anticipated office/showroom ratios: Bldg. Floor Area Office Warehouse Requirement Required Stalls Stalls Provided Net Stalls 1 23040sf. 130560sf. Office = 1 /200sf. Warehouse 1/1000sf. 246 151 -95 2 38640sf. 219960sf. 413 311 -102 3 32850sf. 186150sf. 350 224 -126 4 12690sf. 71910sf. 135 157 +22 5 33000sf. 187000sf. 352 301 -51 6 30600sf. 173400sf. 246 211 -35 7 30600sf. 173400sf. 246 213 -33 8 8400sf. 47600sf. 90 90 -- TOTAL 2078 1658 -420 Based on this initial analysis, the site is deficient in parking on a cumulative basis and at each of the buildings except #4 and #8. The parking analysis will be refined as the ratio of office to warehouse uses is defined as the buildings are constructed. As each building is subject to site and building plan review, compliance with the off-street parking requirements of the Zoning Ordinance will be made a condition of approval unless supporting information and subsequent analysis justifies a reduction in the number of required stalls. Off -Street Loading. The driveway locations and site plan has been designed to accommodate circulation by semi-tractor/trailers to loading areas on each building. The buildings have been sited such that the loading areas face interior driveways or away from TH 101. Landscaping will be required as necessary to screen the loading areas for Buildings #1 and #5 from view along Queens Avenue. Parks and Trails. The Future Parks and Trails plan does not identify any park land search areas within the area of the preliminary plat. A 10 foot trail will be constructed along the east side of Queens Avenue between 60th Street and 70th Street. The City Council agreed to waive any additional park and trail dedication requirements as an incentive for development of the project. Utilities. Sanitary sewer and water utilities are being extended to the development through a number of City projects that will ultimately provide service to not only Gateway North, but also Wildflower Meadow, River Pointe/River Place and others in the southeast quadrant of the City. Development of the utility plan for Gateway North has been done in collaboration with the City Engineer's plans for the overall southeast area service plan and plans for Queens Avenue. All utility issues are subject to approval of the City Engineer. Grading Plan. A grading plan for the subject site has been developed in collaboration with the City Engineer's plans for Queens Avenue. Both the design of Queens Avenue and the grading plan for the subject site reflect efforts to minimize any wetland impacts while addressing the varied topography of the site. All grading plan issues are subject to review and approval of the City Engineer. 5 Easements. The preliminary plat illustrates drainage and utility easements at the perimeter of each lot within Block 1, over ponding and wetland areas and over all of Outlots B and D. No easement is shown over Outlot E as this parcel is being purchased by the City for a utility facility (watertower). All utilities within Block 1 must be overlaid by drainage and utility easements (as shown) and all easements are subject to review and approval of the City Engineer. Lighting Plan. No plan for the type, location and illumination pattern of proposed exterior lighting has been prepared at this stage. A lighting plan will be required to be submitted with the site and building plans for each phase of development to demonstrate compliance with the requirements of Section 20-16-10 of the Zoning Ordinance. Signage Plan. No plan for the number, area and location of proposed signs has been prepared. All signs will be required to conform to Section 37 of the Zoning Ordinance and a sign permit is required prior to placement of any sign upon the subject site. Trash Storage. The site plan shown on the preliminary plat does not include exterior trash storage areas. Trash containers must either be stored within the principal buildings or in an accessory enclosure constructed of materials consistent with the principal building as required by Section 20-16-15.13 of the Zoning Ordinance. Trash storage provisions must be identified at the time of site and building plan review for each building. Final Plat. The applicant has submitted a first phase final plat consisting of the right-of- way for Queens Avenue and six outlots including all of Block 1 and the five outlots shown on the preliminary plat. The final plat must be revised to illustrate drainage and utility easements over all of Outlots B and D and provide right-of-way for 60th Street as recommended by the City Engineer. The final plat is otherwise consistent with the preliminary plat. Development Contract. The applicant is required to execute a development contract with the City upon approval of a final plat. As the first final plat involves only outlots and right-of-way, the development contract will primarily address the terms of the agreement between the City and Duke Realty on development incentives for the project and grading issues. The development contract is subject to review and approval of the City Attorney. AUAR. A draft AUAR to evaluate the potential environmental effects of the proposed Gateway North development has been prepared and published for review and comment in the 22 May 2006 EQB Monitor and distributed to required government jurisdictions and agencies. Comments have been received from MNDoT and Wright County regarding plat related issues. There is a 30 day review/comment period on the draft AUAR ending 21 June 2006. The next step in the process is for the City Council at their meeting on 26 June 2006 to adopt the AUAR including any changes required based on comments received for a final 10 day objection period. If there are no additional comments or formal objections, the City Council would then adopt the final AUAR. City staff does not anticipate any significant comments or objections to the AUAR during the P remainder of the 30 day review or final 10 day comment period. Section 20-38-3. DA of the Zoning Ordinance requires the City Council to base its decision as to whether a project has the potential for significant environmental effects, the following factors shall be considered: a. Type, extent and reversibility of environmental effects. b. Cumulative potential effects of related or anticipated future projects. C. The extent to which the environmental effects are subject to mitigation by ongoing public regulatory authority. d.

Anderson Engineering Tom Moorse, HTG Architects From: Ronald J. Wagner, P.E. Date: May 25, 2006 Re: Otsego I-94 West Industrial Park 4th Addition — Northdale Construction Lot 1, Block 2 We have reviewed the Construction plans, dated 5/02/06, for the above -referenced project and would offer the following comments: Site Layout With the submittal of Otsego I-94 Industrial Park 4th Addition the City is considering water and sewer be run from Kadler Avenue to connect the Industrial Park to city utilities. Preliminary plans have an 8" PVC sanitary sewer main flowing from west to east along the north R.O.W. of 71St Street and an 8" DIP watermain along the R.O.W. south of 71St Street. 2. A Final Plat shall be submitted depicting all drainage and utility easements, R.O.W., setbacks, and lot dimensions. Currently the placement of the front, side, rear yard setbacks appear acceptable as well as the easements, buildings and parking lot locations. 3. Adjacent zoning information shall be provided. 4. Very few parking spaces are proposed (12 stalls and 1 handicap stall). Refer to Dan Licht's comments pertaining to parking spaces being provided. nt?WnnrthdPdP.rvw1 to Page 2 of 2 Grading, Drainage, and Erosion Control 1. Soil Borings locations shall be depicted on the grading plans. Borings in both of the proposed septic mound locations are required. The test results shall be submitted to the city for review. The septic mound locations and pavement section shall be based on the Geotechnical Engineer's recommendation. 2. The storm water runoff for the gravel Outside Equipment Storage area shall be routed to the front of the site. The flow to the west travels to a wetland on the adjacent property. The flow to the east travels through a Swale across the adjacent property. Both properties do not have and easements covering the cross drainage. Routing the runoff to the front of the site will allow the ditch along 71" Street to carry the flow to an existing pond to be treated. 3. The 18" storm sewer culvert shall be RCP. 4. The septic mound locations shall be marked off prior to the start of grading to avoid any traffic over the proposed sites unless the city provides water and sewr to the area. 5. Minimum grades across the gravel outside equipment storage area shall be 1.5%. The grading near the rear central storage area shall be revised. 5. In "Notes" the 2005 Edition of MnDOT Standard Construction Specifications shall be used. 6. The 20' side yard setback is mislabeled 25'.
