The business will be named Hoofbeats & Heartbeats, Inc. The ten acre parcel is located along CSAH 39, west of Mason Avenue within the Agriculture Preserve area designated by the Comprehensive Plan. The subject property is zoned A-1 District. Commercial riding stables are a conditional use within this district, requiring application for CUP and site plan approvals. Exhibits: A. Site Location B. Site Plan ANALYSIS Use. The proposed use provides a opportunities for youth, elderly or other persons with emotional or physical disability to ride horseback and learn animal husbandry as part of a therapeutic program. Although no specific allowance is made for "therapeutic horseback riding" within the Zoning Ordinance, it is staff's interpretation that the use's characteristics are substantially similar to that of a commercial riding stable. Commercial riding stables are allowed within the A-1 District as a conditional use. Section 20-4-2.F of the Zoning Ordinance outlines considerations upon which the decision of the Planning Commission and City Council are to use in evaluating the request: 1. The proposed action's consistency with the specific policies and provisions of the official City Comprehensive Plan. Comment: The subject property is within the northern portion of the Agricultural Preserve and planned for continued agricultural uses. Commercial riding stables are considered to be an agricultural use and would therefore be consistent with the direction of the Comprehensive Plan, subject to applicable performance standards. 2. The proposed use's compatibility with present and future land uses of the area. Comment. Existing uses surround the subject site are predominately agricultural fields except for a 10 acre residential parcel immediately to the east and four five - acre parcels with residential uses fronting Mason Avenue. The area surrounding the subject parcel is presently zoned A-1 District, including the adjacent residential uses, and planned to continue at the same or similar intensity. Provided that the applicable performance standards for commercial stables are met, the use on the western portion of the lot will likely be compatible. 3. The proposed use's conformity with all performance standards contained in the Zoning Ordinance (i.e., parking, loading, noise, etc.). Comment. The use will be required to conform to the specific performance standards for commercial stables outlined in Section 20-26-5 of the Zoning Ordinance. 4. The proposed use's effect upon the area in which it is proposed. Comment: As an agricultural use within an area planned for such uses, the commercial stable should not cause any negative impacts, subject to applicable performance standards. 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 property has access to CSAH 39, which is designated as a principal arterial by the Comprehensive Plan. This roadway should have adequate capacity to accommodate the proposed use, which is limited in intensity due to the number of potential horses that can be stables on the property. -2- 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 negatively impact the City's service capabilities. Lot Area. The minimum lot area required for a commercial stable is ten acres, pursuant to Section 20-26-5.13 of the Zoning Ordinance. The subject site is a ten acre parcel. Animal Density. The applicant currently has four horses stabled on the subject site. The maximum number of horses that can be kept on the subject property is established by Section 20-26-4 of the Zoning Ordinance, which allows one horse per acre. Section 20- 27-3 of the Zoning Ordinance prohibits the establishment of new animal feedlots within the City, which are defined confinement of more than ten animal units. Based on these requirements, ten is the maximum number of horses that may be kept on the property. Animal Buildings. There is an existing 2,016 square foot pole barn on the subject property used to house animals. The applicant is proposing construction of a 9,560 square foot riding arena on the property as part of the commercial riding stable use. As a defined agricultural use, the commercial stable is not subject to the limitations on accessory building size or building materials applicable to residential uses within this or other zoning districts. No elevations were provided, but the metal pole building is to be 66 x 145 feet, 14 feet tall with a pitched roof. The riding arena is subject to base A-1 District setbacks and appears to conform based upon the submitted site plan. The City may consider requiring a tree line to be planted on the west property line in an attempt to break up the mass of the building. Shelters used to stable horses are required to be setback at least 200 feet from the property line. Any existing building used to house animals that does not meet this requirement may continue to be used so long as it does not represent a public nuisance. Based upon the 290 foot width of the property and existing/proposed building locations, the riding arena may not meet this setback and could not be used for stables. The existing pole barn could, however, continue to be used in this capacity, even though it is likely Iless than 200 feet from either side lot line. The planned location of the new riding arena and existing house would serve to mitigate any potential impacts of keeping the horses in the existing building. It is worth noting that up to ten horses could be kept on the property if it continued as a private hobby farm. Section 20-26-5 of Zoning Ordinance requires generally that sufficient enclosed shelter area be provided. Sheltered areas are to be structurally sound, provide proper ventilation and maintained in good repair. As the riding arena plans do not show interior stables and the setback requirements would prohibit such use, it is assumed that all horses will be kept in the existing pole barn. The City Building Official should inspect the existing pole barn to determine that it is in good condition. -3- Fences. The submitted site plan illustrates fenced areas on the property for open grazing and an outdoor riding area. These fences must be maintained in good repair for keeping the animals confined and for their own protection. Although the type of fence'Js not specified, as an agricultural use, barbed wire is allowed. Manure Handling. Section 20-26-5.D requires that manure be removed from the stables, riding arena, and outdoor areas so as not to cause a public nuisance. Section 20-27-10 of the Zoning Ordinance outlines specific setbacks for the distribution of manure. Applicable to this site, manure cannot be applied or stockpiled within 300 feet of a residence (other than that of the operator), 300 feet of a public ditch (including those in the R -O -W) or 200 feet of a private well. The applicant should provide a manure management plan as a condition of approval. Existing Residence. There is an existing single family dwelling on the property. Section 20-26-5.G of the Zoning Ordinance does make accommodation for a caretaker dwelling to be incorporated as part of an agricultural building based upon a demonstrated need. Staff believes that there is a need for on-site residence with the keeping of horses and that continued use of the existing residence is appropriate within this context. Access/Parking. Access to the property it provided via CSAH 39, subject to approval of Wright County in consideration of the change in use. In that the proposed use involves individuals or small groups coming to the property to use the facility, adequate surfacing and off-street parking areas should be provided. Depending on the anticipated frequency of use and within the parameters of an agricultural use, gravel surface may be adequate, although asphalt would be preferred. CONCLUSION AND RECOMMENDATIONS Therapeutic horseback riding facility is not a specifically identified use within the Zoning Ordinance. However, it has characteristics substantially similar to that of a commercial riding stable for which specific allowances and performance standards have been established. As outlined in this report, the proposed use can conform to all of the applicable performance standards for a commercial riding stable and may be considered an appropriate use given the direction of the Comprehensive Plan for this area of the City. As such, our office would recommend approval of the requested CUP as outlined below. A. Motion to approve a conditional use permit for a commercial riding stable, subject to the following conditions: The use is operated in conformance with Section 20-26-5 of the Zoning Ordinance. -4- 2 The maximum number of horses that may be stabled on the subject property at any time shall be ten (10) animals. 3. The 2,016 sq. ft. pole barn is to be used to shelter the animals and no horses are to be stabled within the riding arena. 4. The City Building Official shall inspect the existing pole barn to determine if it is in good condition and suitable for sheltering animals. 5. Manure is to be stockpiled or applied in conformance with Section 20-27-10 of the Zoning Ordinance and the applicant is to provide a manure management plan, subject to review and approval of City Staff. 6. Access to CSAH 39 is subject to review and approval of Wright County and adequate surfaced off-street parking areas are provided. 7. Comments of other City Staff. B. Motion to deny the application based upon a finding that the proposed use is inconsistent with the policies and provisions of the Comprehensive Plan and Zoning Ordinance. (Specific findings should be cited in support of a motion to deny). C. Motion to table the application. PC.

Stories of worry, of sleepless nights, the reality of shattered dreams, the challenge of re-evaluating life on a daily basis. It is only natural that administrators, therapists, instructors and vciunteers focus foremost on the safety and well being of the riders and clients. The primary attention must be on their safety, progress, therapy and advancement. But untold NARHA stories often can be found in the life experience of the parents and families of individuals with disabilities. The people who drive the vans, do the care-taking 24 hours a day for however long it takes, who lean anxiously on the fence during riding sessions, ready to do battle if anyone ever meant harm to their loved one. It is a challenge to be parent to any child, but how can one summarize how anxiety, fear, depression, hope, pride, joy and faith all co-exist and shape the experience of being parent to a child with a disability? Nancy Stambaugh is the mother of Trent, a young rider at Victory Gallop, Inc. in Akron, Ohio. In 1999 Nancy sent a letter to NARHA, nominating Wings for the therapy horse of the year award. It is a letter addressed to a horse, yet if read between the lines it speaks wlumes, it reveals secrets and let's us see — just for a moment- the ongoing emotional process that shapes the experience of a NARHA parent. Dear Wings: :My family would like to thank you for your generosity. You mean a great deal to our 8-year-old son, Trent. When Trent was in the first grade he could not keep up with the class. The teacher suggested we have him tested for Attention Deficit Disorder. I was very opposed to the idea. I didn't want to believe that there was anything wrong with my child. But then the gym teacher called me and asked me to come in for a conference and said there was something wrong with him, he is the slowest, and last at everything. I gave up my foolish pride and took him to our doctor. many tests at school and at the doctors, Trent was diagnosed with a learning disability and ADD. He started on ration at the beginning of the second semester of first grade, He improved, but he still wasn't up with his classmates. Then the worst thing happened. My father, Trent's very close best friend in the world died very suddenly. Trent was broken hearted and so was I. Trent just seemed lost. He has 2 parents in the house and 2 big sisters that love him dearly. But no one could take Papa's place. Also at this time my husband's business was very slow, so we had financial problems as well. The teachers would recommend tutors and programs that were completely out of our reach. Trent passed first grade, I just prayed he would eventually catch on or some miracle would occur. Second grade started pretty well, or so I thought. There was a lot more homework, but we did it together and he seemed to understand. Then in October the math teacher called and asked why Trent didn't tum in any homework assignments. I asked him where they where, he said in his locker. He was too shy and had zero self-confidence. He could not bring himself to turn his work in. All he had to do was take it out of his book bag and put into his teacher's box. I was ready to loose my mind. I don't know if you understand ADD, but it is very frustrating. I thought we had a handle on this, I don't spank my children, and I try not to yell. I tried explaining things, tried to find the positive side of negative situations. I wasn't helping my son. It's a terrible feeling. I tried to encourage him and show him that he could do anything the other kids did, and yet somehow he didn't believe enough in himself to tum in a sheet of 30 math problems. Then I called Victory Gallop. I was so happy they considered ADD a true disability. Some people think the children with ADDA are just undisciplined behavior problems with lazy parents that would rather medicate their children than deal with them. Sue of \/ictory Gallop tooffrent, Dad and Mom on a tour of the bam, she asked Trent which horse he liked. He picked you, Wings. I don't know why I think it might be because Trent is so small for his age and you are such a gentle giant. He does really well with his lessons. He asks, "When is my horse lesson?" He wonders, "Well, if I do that, will I miss going to the horses-/' He practices his dressage homework; he drew you in art class and talked about you to his teacher. Trent kept a ph -to of you in his desk the rest of the year. His confidence in reading and math really grew. He is confident when he rides. it is his tum to listen to the teacher at riding lessons, he has his right hand stroking your neck and his left hand patting y _ pack. I am glad I had sunglasses the day I watched Trent ride you the first time without a volunteer leading him. Tears of joy were rolling down my face. My boy on such a big horse, in control and so confident. I think we got our miracle. I'm not a teacher; I'm not a doctor. I don't have all the answers, I don't even have all the questions. I'm just a mom trying to Sunday. Feb Vary 15, 2001 Anrncu ononr EquinaFm2 P.Q.. 1 '-ier son succeed in life. Thank you Wings for helping my family.

Dear members of the City Council I am writing in regard to Gregg and Linda Kreuser's request to build an arena for the use of equine therapy for special needs children. I would support the venture because I feel that it would provide a valuable service for this special population.

I feel this addition would be a valuable asset to this community to be able to provide this unique opportunity for this special needs population. Thank you for your consideration of this proposal.

The purpose of this would be for equine therapy of disabled children and adults. I believe this would be a great addition to our community. It would also be an opportunity for people to volunteer their services to this program which in turn makes everyone feel better about themselves. They have my full support Thank you, ��5� M.c,s 14ve Dear City Council Members, Greg and Linda Kreuser have my full support with their equine therapy program. The only problem is it can not be done without proper facilities, mainly a riding arena. Looking at Elk Rivers teen suicide rate maybe this could be a place where teens could go to help the less fortunate, and see how much they have to offer the world!

The request is to establish additional development rights allowed by the Comprehensive Plan for the purpose of creating one new residential lot. The subdivision is to be processed as a minor subdivision by the Zoning Administrator and is therefore not part of this application. Exhibits: A. Site Location B. Subdivision Survey ANALYSIS Zoning. Applications for rezoning are to be evaluated based upon the criteria established by Section 20-3-2.F of the Zoning Ordinance. The decision of the Planning Commission and City Council on the request is to be based upon (but not limited to) the following factors: The proposed action's consistency with the specific policies and provisions of the official City Comprehensive Plan. Comment: The subject property is within the Agricultural Preserve established by the Comprehensive Plan. This area anticipated continued agricultural activities with some allowance for rural residential use until such time as City approved "sanitary sewer and water service may be available. The Comprehensive Plan allows a maximum density of four units per forty acres for parcels with public street frontage and one unit per forty acres for parcels without public street frontage. Within the Zoning Ordinance, the A-2 District is intended to implement the allowance of rural residential development at four units per forty acres, whereas the A-1 District is more restrictive one unit per forty acres for preservation purposes. The subject site is 36.9 acres in size. There are no existing residential dwellings on the property, but it is deed restricted from a previous division. Therefore no additional building rights exist under the present A-1 District zoning. Under the guidelines of the Comprehensive Plan, however, as many as three additional building rights may be established by rezoning to A-2 District. The proposal to rezone the subject site to A-2 District in order to allow for one new residential lot to be created (at this time) is consistent with the intent of the Comprehensive Plan to allow a minimum level of rural residential development that may compatibly exist with agricultural activities. 2. The proposed use's compatibility with present and future land uses of the area. Comment: The proposed rezoning will allow for creation of one and possibly more residential lots at a density of four units per forty acres with street frontage. This level of development is consistent with the rural character of the area, which is expected to continue until such time as City approved sanitary sewer and water services may be available. 3. The proposed use's conformity with all performance standards contained in the Zoning Ordinance (i.e., parking, loading, noise, etc.). Comment. The proposed division of one lot from the subject property can be processed by the Zoning Administrator pursuant to Section 2 of the Subdivision Ordinance. Although the subdivision is to be processed as a separate application and is not be considered as part of this request, the following performance standards apply to the anticipated minor subdivision request: • Access. The proposed lot is to access off of Mason Avenue, which is classified as a local street by the Comprehensive Plan. The width of the access to Mason Avenue from the subject property must be in accordance with the standards of the Engineering Manual, Standard Plate 109. -2- • Lot Area. The minimum lot size within the A-2 District is one acre in accordance with Section 20-52-6.A.1. The proposed lot measures 1.87 acres, which is large enough to provide for a building site within required setbacks and two septic drainfreld sites. • Lot Width. Section 20-52-6.A.2 of the Zoning Ordinance requires that lots within the A-2 District must have at least 150 feet of frontage to a public street, measured at the front setback line. The proposed lot is 244 feet wide. • Lot Depth. Within the A-2 District, lots must be at least 150 feet deep as required by Section 20-52-6.A.3. The proposed lot is 334 feet deep. • Setbacks. The required setbacks are 35 feet front, 30 feet on each side yard and 50 feet in the rear yard. The proposed house location meets these setback requirements. • Feedlot Setbacks. Section 20-27-9 of the Zoning Ordinance requires that new residential lots be setback at least 1, 000 feet from the facility. There are no registered feedlots within 1, 000 feet of the subject property or the proposed lot. • Utilities. Subdivision of lots to be served by individual septic systems must demonstrate that the soils can support on-site systems and the survey must identify primary and secondary drainfield sites. • Drainage and Utility Easements. Section 21-7-15 of the Subdivision Ordinance requires that a 10 foot drainage and utility easement be established at the perimeter of the proposed lot. The need for any additional drainage and utility easements are subject to review and approval of the City Engineer. • Park and Trail Dedication. Section 21-7-18 of the Subdivision Ordinance requires dedication of land for parks and trails as part of requests to subdivide and develop property. As the City is not have plans for establishment of parks or trails effecting the subject property, a cash fee in lieu of land is required. The present cash fee is $1,075 per lot created. This cash fee in lieu of land is to be paid at the time the administrative subdivision is processed. 4. The proposed use's effect upon the area in which it is proposed. Comment: The requested rezoning is not anticipated to have any negative effects to the area in which it is proposed as it is within the guidelines of the Comprehensive Plan. -3- 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 resulting from the rezoning is not anticipated to generate traffic beyond the capabilities of this street. 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 scope of development anticipated by the Comprehensive Plan. CONCLUSION Decisions on applications for zoning map amendments are to be determined by the Planning Commission and City Council as a matter of policy. City officials are to use the criteria outlined by the Zoning Ordinance and other factors in evaluating whether the requested action is consistent with the Comprehensive Plan, compatible with the area in question and will be within existing service capacities. If a positive finding is made on each of these considerations, the application may be approved as outlined under below. A. Motion to approve a Zoning Map amendment rezoning the subject site from A-1 to A-2 District based upon a finding that the action is consistent with the Comprehensive Plan. B. Motion to deny the request based upon a finding that the action is inconsistent with the Comprehensive Plan. (Specific policies should be cited in support of the motion). C. Motion to table the request (Direction should be provided to the applicant and or City Staff regarding additional information to be submitted).

The project includes 13 single family lots, ranging in size from five to 10 acres, intended to develop with horse oriented hobby farms. The project also includes a common outlot for pasture/riding and a series of trails around the perimeter and through the project. The 108 acre property, which is currently used for crop production, is located along CSAH 39, west of Nashua Avenue. The property is within the Agriculture Preserve defined by the Comprehensive Plan and is zoned A-1, Agriculture - Rural Service District. The property is also within the Shoreland Overlay District of Otsego Creek and a designated natural environment lake. The proposed development requires application for a rezoning to A-2 District to establish additional development rights, a PUD -CUP for keeping horses within the A-2 District and provision of common private open space and preliminary plat. Exhibits: A. Site Location B. Applicant Narrative C. Preliminary Plat D. Preliminary Grading Plan E. 90' Street Extension ANALYSIS Zoning. Applications for rezoning and PUD -CUP are to be evaluated based upon the criteria established by Section 20-3-2.F and 20-4-2.F of the Zoning Ordinance. The decision of the Planning Commission and City Council on the request is to be based upon (but not limited to) the following factors: 1. The proposed action's consistency with the specific policies and provisions of the official City Comprehensive Plan. Comment: The Comprehensive Plan discusses providing opportunities for locating hobby farm uses at the boundary of the rural and urban service areas, which is generally Nashua Avenue. In that this property is within the northeast corner of the Agriculture Preserve and planned for continued agricultural use, the proposed development is consistent with the opportunities the Comprehensive Plan sought to create with the provision of four units per forty acre density with street frontage. 2. The proposed use's compatibility with present and future land uses of the area. Comment. The subject property is surrounded by agriculture or rural intensity uses, as well as Prairie Park on its southeast corner. The proposed hobby farm development is likely to be consistent with these existing uses and the planned continued agricultural character of 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 project will be required to conform with all applicable performance standards of the Zoning and Subdivision Ordinance. 4. The proposed use's effect upon the area in which it is proposed. Comment: The proposed use is of a rural intensity and character that is consistent with the area in which it is proposed. 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 property currently has access to CSAH 39. One issue discussed during the Comprehensive Plan process was that developers would not be allowed to extend cul-de-sac streets to back -forty parcels in order to obtain development rights. As this property extends over 3,500 feet back from CSAH 39, the applicant has addressed this issue by proposing to construct a full rural section City Street to Nashua Avenue, across the north portion of Prairie Park/City Hall. 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 an intensity anticipated by the Comprehensive Plan. Density. The Comprehensive Plan prescribes a maximum density of four units per 40 acres for parcels with street frontage within the Agriculture Preserve area. The A-2 District, based upon the direction of the Comprehensive Plan allows for the same. Based upon the size of the parcel, the maximum number of lots allowed by the Comprehensive Plan and A-2 District is 11. The density with 13 lots is five units per 40 acres. While not a significant increase, the City has always used the density allowances established by the Comprehensive Plan as an absolute number. Further, the 90"' Street extension should not necessarily be considered as a trade off for the addition density as the street needs to be provided in order to realize the increase in density from one unit per forty acres to four units per forty acres allowed by the Comprehensive Plan based on street frontage. Reducing the number of lots within the preliminary plat to conform to the Comprehensive Plan and Zoning Ordinance may also serve to address potential shoreland issues and discussed below. Access. The proposed subdivision is to be serviced by a local public street intersecting CSAH 39 and extending through to Nashua Avenue. Access to CSAH 39 is subject to review and approval of Wright County. The design of the local street is subject to review and approval of the City Engineer. Two issues with the street design is the proposed eyebrow within the preliminary plat and the location of the right-of-way as it extends across the City's property. The eyebrowwas provided in part to allow trucks with horse trailers to turn around. However, there should be adequate area on each lot for these maneuvers given the lot sizes. The eyebrow adds additional hard surface and must be plowed like a cul-de-sac by the public works department and should be removed if possible. The issue with the proposed public street across the City's property is the reserve strip created between the right-of-way and north property line. Section 21-7-5.1 prohibits reserve strips that may restrict access to a public right-of-way. In anticipation of future access to this public street from a development on the property north of City Hall/Prairie Park, the right-of-way should be extended to the City's north property line. Lot Requirements. The proposed preliminary plat is subject to the lot requirements of the A-2 District and the Shoreland Overlay District. The DNR has designated what is shown as `low ground" on the grading plan as a natural environment lake. Otsego Creek is a designated tributary. As such, the following performance standards apply: Lot Area Lot Width Setbacks Front Side Rear OHWM Structures Septic 80,000 sq. ft. 200 ft. 35 ft. (local) 65 ft. (CSAH 39) 1 30 ft. 50 ft. 1 150 ft. (lake) 1 100 ft. (creek) 150 ft. (lake) 75 ft. (creek) All of the lots are at least 5 acres in size. The lots, building pads and septic locations shown on the submitted plans conform with these minimum requirements, except for Lot 1, Block 2. The proposed septic system location on lot one does not meet the setback from the boundary of the "lake" shown on the preliminary grading plan. Lots 1 and 2 Block 2 are significantly impacted by the designated natural environment lake. As outlined in subsequent paragraphs, this designation may restrict the use of these areas. Based upon these considerations and the density issue outlined above, our recommendation is that Lots 1 and 2, Block 2 be combined with adjacent lots or that the area be used as additional open space. Keeping of Horses. Keeping of horses within the A-2 District is allowed as a conditional use and being considered for the overall project as part of the PUD -CUP. The following considerations apply to this project: • The minimum lot size for keeping horses within the A-2 District is 2.5 acres. All of the proposed lots exceed this minimum standard. • Buildings for stabling horses may not be closer than 200 feet to any property zoned R-1 District. There are no properties zoned R-1 within 200 feet of the subject site. • The maximum number of horses stabled on each lot may not exceed one horse per acre or ten horses, which ever is least. • Shelter equal to 100 square feet of area per horse is required. • Hobby farm uses are subject to the accessory building size and material regulations for residential uses outlined in Section 20-16-4 of the Zoning Ordinance. -4- • Manure stockpiling and application is regulated by Section 20-27-10 of the Zoning Ordinance. Manure may not be stockpiled or applied within 300 feet of an adjacent residence, 300 feet from ditches, lakes and creeks or 200 feet from a private well. A manure management plan for the project should be required as a condition of approval. Open Space and Trails. The proposed preliminary plat includes a seven acre outlot and series of 10 foot wide trail corridors around and through the development. The open space and trails are intended for use by the residents for horseback riding or hiking. The applicant is proposing that the outlot, which abuts Prairie Park, and trails be dedicated in satisfaction of park and trail dedication requirements. The Parks and Recreation commission should consider the benefits of adding these areas to the City's park system. Obviously, the use of these areas for horseback riding raises certain compatibility issues. In terms a transportation function, the proposed trails would duplicate the existing shoulder trails on CSAH 39 and Nashua Avenue. Finally, if the trails are accepted by the City, they should be widened to at least 30 foot corridors as the City has implemented elsewhere. A homeowners association will be required as part of the PUD -CUP to administer the common open space and trails if not accepted as park dedication by the City. The homeowners association documents are subject to review and approval of the City Attorney. Shoreland Impact. The location of the property within the Shoreland Overlay District raises special issues for this project. Section 20-92-11.1-1.2 of the Zoning Ordinance requires maintenance of permanent vegetation or an approved conservation plan for maintaining the shoreland and bluff impact zones adjacent to Otsego Creek and the natural environment lake. This has not been addressed as part of the project proposal. Special consideration must be given to howthe proposed trails go through these shoreland areas, including crossing Otsego Creek. A conservation plan should be prepared subject to comments from the DNR and approval of the City prior to a final plat application. Easements. Section 20-7-15 of the Subdivision Ordinance requires 10 foot perimeter drainage and utility easements for each lot, which may overlay common side lot lines. The preliminary plat includes these easements. This section also requires that drainage and utility easements be provided over natural watercourses and wetlands. As such, easements should be provided over the designated natural environment lake and Otsego Creek. All easements are subject to review and approval of the City Engineer. Grading and Utility Plans. The application submission includes proposed grading and drainage plans. Primary and secondary septic drainfield locations for each lot are also shown on these plans. All grading, drainage and utility issues are subject to review and approval of the City Engineer. -5- Development Contract. Upon approval of a final plat, the applicant is required to enter into a development contract with the City and pay all fees and securities. The development contract is subject to the review and approval of the City Attorney. CONCLUSION AND RECOMMENDATIONS As a matter of policy. the Planning Commission and City Council must evaluate the rezoning necessary to allow for proposed development within the provisions of the Comprehensive Plan. The proposed development of a hobby farm oriented residential subdivision is consistent with the direction of the Comprehensive Plan for areas at the boundary of the City's urban and rural service areas. If such a finding is made by City Officials, then we would recommend approval of the Zoning Map amendment. From a technical standpoint, a few modifications need to be made to the proposed preliminary plat to bring it into conformance with applicable performance standards. The most significant of these issues is the density allowance of the Agriculture Preserve area. Other issues include conforming to the setback and resource management plan requirements of the Shoreland District. These issues can be resolved as the project moves from preliminary plat to a final plat application. As such, we would recommend approval of the PUD -CUP and preliminary plat subject to the conditions outlined below. Decision 1 - Zoning Map Amendment A. Motion to approve a Zoning Map amendment rezoning the subject site from A-1 District to A-2 District based upon a finding that the action is consistent with the policies of the Comprehensive Plan. B. Motion to deny the application based upon a finding that the request is inconsistent with the policies of the Comprehensive Plan. (Specific findings should be cited.) C. Motion to table the application. Decision 2 - PUD -CUP and Preliminary Plat A. Motion to approve a PUD -CUP and Preliminary Plat for Hidden Trails, subject to the following conditions: 1. The preliminary plat is revised to have not more than eleven (11) buildable lots. 2. Access to CSAH 39 is subject to review and approval of Wright County and the location and design of all local street is subject to review and approval of the City Engineer. IRS 3. Keeping of horses shall be allowed on all lots subject to the provisions of Section 20-26-4.8 and the following: a. The maximum number of horses stabled on each lot may not exceed one horse per acre or ten horses, which ever is least. b. Shelter equal to 100 square feet of area per horse is required C. Manure stockpiling and application is regulated by Section 20-27-10 of the Zoning Ordinance. A manure management plan for the project shall be submitted, subject to review and approval of City Staff. 4. A conservation plan for maintaining shoreland and bluff impact zones within the Shoreland Overlay District shall be submitted subject to comment of the DNR and approval of the City Council. 5. Park and trail dedication requirements shall be subject to review of the Parks and Recreation Commission and approval of the City Council. 6. A homeowners association shall be established for the maintenance of common open space, subject to review and approval of the City Attorney. 7. Grading, drainage and easements are subject to review and approval of the City Engineer. 8. Upon approval of a final plat, the applicant is required to enter into a development contract with the City and pay all fees and securities, subject to the review and approval of the City Attorney. 9. Comments of other City Staff. B. Motion to deny the application based upon a finding that the request is inconsistent with the policies of the Comprehensive Plan. (Specific findings should be cited.)

PROPOSAL FOR HIDDEN CREEK TRAILS DEVELOPMENT WE ARE PROPOSING A 13 LOT SUBDIVISION WITH THE IDEA OF NATURE LOVERS OR HORSE PEOPLE IN MIND. IF POSSIBLE WOULD LIKE TO REMAIN IN A-1. THERE WILL BE APPROXIMATELY 5 MILES OF HIKING/ RIDING TRAILS. A 10 FT TRAIL OUTLOT WILL BE ON REAR OF EVERY PROPERTY, AND ON 2 SIDES OF THE NORTHERN LOTS. THERE WILL BE A CROSS OVER SO PEOPLE CAN GO AROUND THE ENTIRE PROPERTY, AND ONLY CROSS THE "ROAD" ON DEVELOPMENT PROPERTY. THIS IS SOMETHING THAT HORSE LOVERS OR HIKERS WILL REALLY ENJOY. PLANS ARE FOR 7.08 ACRES OF "OPEN LAND" ADJOINING THE OTSEGO CITY PARK WHICH WOULD ALLOW PARK VISITORS TO ENJOY THESE TRAILS IF THE OUTLOT ON EACH PROPERTY AND THE PARK AREA WAS USED AS PART OF THE PARK & TRAILS DEDICATION. THIS WOULD SERVE AS AN EXTENSION OF THE PARK. NO HORSES WOULD BE ALLOWED BETWEEN THE PARK & THE DEVELOPMENT. THERE WOULD ONLY BE AN ENTRANCE FOR WALKING TRAILS. THERE WOULD BE NO MOTORIZED VEHICLES ON THE TRAILS AT ANY TIME (I.E. 4 - WHEELER OR SNOWMOBILE). THE ONLY EXCEPTION WOULD BE IF SOMEONE IS CHECKING THE TRAIL OR DOING SOME WORK TO IT. THERE WOULD BE A VERY MINIMUM OF UPKEEP FOR THE TRAILS. �xh'� U14 RESIDENTS COULD HAVE A GATE AT THE BACK OF THEIR PROPERTY TO ENTER THE TRAIL OR COULD GO TO THE LARGE OPEN AREA. LOTS 1,2, AND 3 OF BLOCK 2 COULD BE WALK OUT LOTS AND WILL HAVE A VIEW OF THE POND .....ALLOWANCE HAS BEEN MADE FOR SHORELAND NEEDS, AND IN MOST YEARS THERE IS WATER IN THE POND. LOTS 4 & 5WILL HAVE TREES AND A CREEK ON THE BACK OF THEIR PROPERTY. THE OPEN AREA WILL UTILIZE THE CREEK & TREES. LOTS 19 2 & 3 OF BLOCK 3 WILL HAVE SOME VEGETATION ON THE BACK OF THEIR LOTS AND ADJOIN THE OTSEGO PARK. THE 2 POWERLINES THAT CROSS THE DEVELOPMENT HAVE BEEN TAKEN INTO CONSIDERATION WITH THE PLACEMENT OF THE TRAIL AND LOT LINES IN ONE AREA. THE OTHER LOTS WILL HAVE PLENTY OF BUILDING AREA SET BACK FROM THE LINES. LOTS 1 & 2 OF BLOCK 4 WILL ALSO HAVE SOME TREES ON THEM. THESE WILL BE WELL & SEPTIC LOTS WITH ADDITIONAL ROOM FOR AN ALTERNATIVE SITE AS WELL AS THE DWELLING AND AN OUTBUILDING. ON FIVE ACRE LOTS THERE WILL HAVE BE A MINIMUM VALUE OF $2759000.00 FOR HOUSE & LOT. ON THE 10 ACRE LOTS , THAT MINIMUM WILL BE $375,000.00 THERE ARE COVENANTS TO PROTECT EACH HOMEOWNER. FIRST COVENANT IS THAT ALL MUST COMPLY WITH CITY OF OTSEGO'S ORDINANCES. THE "COUNTRY THEME" WILL BE CARRIED OUT THRU THE REQUIRED PORCHES. PEOPLE WHO ARE LOOKING FOR ROOM FOR THEIR HORSES WILL GREATLY APPRECIATE THIS FIRST OF A KIND DEVELOPMENT FOR OTSEGO. ALL IN ALL, WE BELIEVE IT WILL BE A LOVELY DEVELOPMENT THAT WILL ENHANCE THE NATURAL BEAUTY OF THE AREA. THE OPEN GROUND WILL BE WORTH APPROXIMATELY $100,000 AND THE BUILDING OF 90TH STREET EAST TO NASHAUA WILL COST A GREAT DEAL OF MONEY TO THE OWNER. IT IS OUR PROPOSAL THAT THE CITY WOULD GIVE THE RIGHT OF WAY FOR THE ROAD AT NO COST TO THE OWNER AND THAT THE 13 LOTS BE ALLOWED AS WELL AS THE OPEN GROUND BE IN LIEU OF THE PARK AND TRAIL FEES AS THE TRAIL SYSTEM WILL BENEFIT MANY WHERE IT ADJOINS THE CITY PROPERTY.

XF—A '* way Engineer - y = RICJJ MARQIIETTE t Way Ageat 682-7386 We have received the Notice of Public Hearing for the above mentioned proposed 13 lot development. We offer the following comments. 1) An access permit will be required if it is intended that the 13 lot development have a street access off of CSAH 39. The actual access location would be determined in the field after review of the site to determine the safest access point with respect to sight distance. Existing field entrances would be required to be removed. A 12 -foot wide right turn lane and bypass lane will be required to be constructed by the developer on CSAH 39 for the proposed street access. Specific details of the turnlane & bypass lane layouts and section designs required would be identified as part of the access permit special provisions. Bruce Leinonen of our office should be contacted about processing an access permit. The access permit fee is $100 for street access applications. 2) A right-of-way dedication of 60 feet from centerline on CSAH 39 will be required, consistent with the County's Transportation Plan. However, a wider dedication would be required if the City is planning to locate a separated bike trail or pedestrian trail in the right-of-way in this area. 3) The proposed development should have "zero impact" to the existing county highway ditch with regard to surface storm water flow rate, and peak flow. Equal Opportunity / Affirmative Action Employer Page Two City of Otsego April 2, 2001 4) A utility permit will be required if there are to be any utilities constructed within the CSAH 39 right-of-way. Bruce Leinonen, Permit Technician, of our office should be contacted for processing of a utility permit. When received, the preliminary plat will be reviewed by our office regarding impact to County State Aid Highway 39 with regard to access and utilities. The City Engineer for Otsego should review the plans with regard to internal grading, drainage, and street improvements, for conformance to city standards. We trust that this information is helpful to you. Please call me or Wayne Fingalson, County Engineer, if you have any questions for concerns regarding the above comments. Sincerely, Virgil G.

We have concerns over the lack of a standard 2N0 entrance into the plat. Currently the plat exists as a 3000' cul-de-sac. Maximum length of the proposed 20' access easement is paved and clips a wetland. Our concern is that much of the year this access road will be impassable to the heavy emergency vehicles. This proposed access route will be difficult to maintain and may invite unwanted traffic. Also, the MN Fire Rules state that any fire access must be a 20' all weather road. This will be difficult to cors rust on a 20' easement. It is our opinion a typical street section from street B to 90 Street in Otsego.acres is needed to ensure proper emergency access for the public safety of the proposed plat. An option to this would be to construct the 87TH Street connection (southeast comer) to Vasseur's Oak Grove Estates concurrently with plat development. 6. The southeast end of street A Nst be aligned so as to allow for proper horizontal road radius for connection to 87 Street. This must be ghost platted for future reference.

Lot 20 and Lot 21 of Block 1 are labeled as FB-SVj10 and one is 4' different and the other 8'). DRAINAGE 1. The outlet elevation of the I]NR wetland is shown at 900.5 in the plans & 900.7 in your report, The 100yr flood elevation is also labeled as 900.7. Flood storage is not allowed below the elevation ofthe outlet. Revise the computations. To make the most of the storage available in the DNR wetland and reduce the potential for flooding, we request the outlet elevation be as low as allowed by the DNR. 2. Each water quality pond must be sized to hold the runoff from a 2.5" rainfall event & have a skimmer structure. The water quality ponds and skimmer structures must meet the standards in the Otsego Engineering Manual, Design calculation showing how the pond sizes were obtained is required, 3. The peak flow & runoff volume should be checked for both impervious area only & the weighted curve number for each drainage basin. In many instances with large lots, the peak flow & runoff volume is larger using only the impervious area and curve number, The larger runoff volume/peak flow must be used in the storm water design. 4. A stage/discharge curve is needed to determine the adequacy of the proposed 12" outlet pipe from the DNR wetla0d. Our preliminary designs had shown the need for a 24" outlet due to the limited pip slope available, 5. A copy of the plans must be submitted for review and approval by the DNR.
