ITEM 5.2 Wildflower Meadows Villa'W OtCI�eooF MINNESOTA DEPARTMENT INFORMATION Request for City Council Action ORIGINATING DEPARTMENT: REQUESTOR: MEETING DATE: Planning City Planner Licht 25 July 2016 PRESENTER(s): REVIEWED BY: ITEM #: City Planner Licht City Administrator Johnson 5.2 — Wildflower Meadows Villas AGENDA ITEM DETAILS RECOMMENDATION: City staff recommends approval of a preliminary plat and PUD-CUP for Wildflower Meadows Villas. ARE YOU SEEKING APPROVAL OF A CONTRACT? M BACKGROUND/JUSTIFICATION: IS A PUBLIC HEARING REQUIRED? Held by Planning Commission 18 July 2016. Hedberg Homes Inc. is proposing to develop 26 single family detached townhomes on Outlot A, Wildflower Meadows, located north of 701h Street (CSAH 37) and west of Quenroe Avenue. The 7.09 acre subject site was preliminary platted by Rottlund Homes as approved by the City Council on 13 March 2006 for development of 114 attached townhouse dwellings. The proposed development requires application for approval of a preliminary plat and Planned Unit Development — Conditional Use Permit (PUD-CUP) for subdivision of detached townhouse lots and access utilizing existing private driveways. A public hearing to consider the application was noticed for the Planning Commission meeting on 18 July 2016. Mr. Joe Blattman of Hedberg Homes, Inc. was present as the applicant. Mr. Blattman indicated that they are revising the development plans to eliminate one lot from Block 2 and one lot from Block 3 to provide for additional space to accommodate three -stall garages for the detached townhomes. One resident of the existing townhouses had several questions regarding the proposed development plan and detached townhouse dwellings, which were addressed by the applicant or City staff. A second resident of one of the nearby single family lots asked the Planning Commission not to provide flexibility in development standards to allow the developer to add additional lots. With the change to the preliminary plat noted by Mr. Blattman, all of the lots will exceed the single family lot width requirements for the traditional single family lots within Wildflower Meadows as approved in 2006. The Planning Commission discussed the proposed setbacks between buildings and related location of air conditioners in the side yard. To allow for the option of constructing disability accessible dwelling units, the Planning Commission agreed to recommend allowing 14 feet between structures versus the 15 feet required by the original 2006 approvals. The Planning Commission also discussed the minimum area for the attached garage for each dwelling unit and the developer noted that each slab -on -grade dwelling unit will have the laundry room or utility room reinforced as "safe room". The public hearing was closed and the Planning Commission voted 4-0 to recommend approval subject as outlined in the attached findings of fact. SUPPORTING DOCUMENTS: ❑ ATTACHED ❑ NONE A.

Daniel Licht, AICP DATE: 13 July 2016 ACTION DATE: 20 August 2016 RE: , Otsego — Wildflower Meadows Villas TPC FILE: 101.01 BACKGROUND Hedberg Homes Inc. is proposing to develop 26 single family detached townhomes on Outlot A, Wildflower Meadows, located north of 701h Street (CSAH 37) and west of Quenroe Avenue. The 7.09 acre subject site was preliminary platted by Rottlund Homes as approved by the City Council on 13 March 2006 for development of 114 attached townhouse dwellings. The proposed development requires application for approval of a preliminary plat and Planned Unit Development — Conditional Use Permit (PUD-CUP) for subdivision of detached townhouse lots and access utilizing existing private driveways. A public hearing to consider the application has been noticed for the Planning Commission meeting on 18 July 2016. Exhibits A. Site location map B. 2006 Wildflower Meadows preliminary plat C. Applicant narrative dated 6-21-16 D. Example exterior elevations (3 pages) E. Development plans dated 6/17/16 (9 sheets) ANALYSIS Zoning. The subject site is zoned R-7, High Density Residential District. The R-7 District allows for twin -homes, townhomes (including detached townhomes), and multiple family uses as permitted uses. The proposed development of detached townhomes access by private drives is subject to approval of a PUD-CUP. Consideration of the PUD-CUP application is to be based upon, but not limited to, the criteria outlined in Section 20-4-2.F of the Zoning Ordinance: 1. The proposed action's consistency with the specific policies and provisions of the Otsego Comprehensive Plan. Comment: The subject site is guided by the 2012 Comprehensive Plan for Medium/High Density Residential and the townhouse development approved with the original Wildflower Meadows preliminary plat reflects this designation. Changing the unit type from attached townhomes to detached townhomes (with a significant decrease in density of 88 dwelling units) has no negative effect on City infrastructure. The proposed detached townhomes also provide an alternative to traditional single family dwellings that are currently in high demand in the market reflecting changing demographics. Development of the proposed detached townhomes will expand housing choices within Wildflower Meadows and the City overall consistent with the goals of the Comprehensive Plan. The proposed use's compatibility with present and future land uses of the area. Comment: The subject site is surrounded by the following existing and planned land uses: Direction Land Use Plan Zoning Map Existing Use North MD/HD Residential R-7 District Townhouse East LD/MD Residential A-1 District Rural single family South MD/HD Residential A-1 District Single family West Commercial C-3 District Convenience gas The proposed detached townhouse dwellings are a significant decrease in density from the townhouses approved for the subject site with the Wildflower Meadows preliminary plat but remain a transitional land use. The area to the south of the subject site was also approved for development of townhouse uses but the property reverted to A-1 District zoning after expiration of said approval and a new single family dwelling accessing Quenroe Avenue has been constructed. Consideration for additional landscaping must be given to providing screening of the commercial uses planned and under development to the west of the subject site. The proposed use's conformity with all performance standards contained within the Zoning Ordinance and other provisions of the City Code. 2 Comment: The proposed development will comply with the requirements of the Zoning Ordinance, Subdivision Ordinance, and Engineering Manual. Whereas the City typically requires detached townhouse uses to be platted in a unit and base lot configuration, the proposed preliminary plat design allows for greater flexibility in dwelling unit design and siting within the boundaries and in -place infrastructure. Conditions are to be included as a condition of the PUD-CUP restricting use of the individual yards so as to function in effect the some as a base lot development. 4. Traffic generation of the proposed use in relation to capabilities of streets serving the property. Comment: The subject site is accessed by CSAH 37 designated as a major collector street and CSAH 42 designated as a minor arterial street by the 2012 Otsego Comprehensive Plan and Northeast Wright County Transportation Plan. These roadways have adequate existing and planned capacity to accommodate the proposed development, especially in consideration of the reduction in density by 88 dwelling units. The proposed use can be accommodated by existing public services and facilities and will not overburden the City's service capacity. Comment: The subject site is located within the East Sewer District designated by the 2012 Comprehensive Plan, where the City anticipates provision of urban services, including utilities, roadways, and infrastructure, necessary to support urban development. There is adequate available service capacity to support the proposed development, especially in consideration of the reduction in density by 88 dwelling units. Building Plans. The developer has submitted three example building elevation designs for the proposed townhomes but indicating that each of the homes will be custom designed. Note that the example house elevations illustrate a walkout building, but all of the building pads shown on the grading plan are to be slab -on -grade structures. To avoid visual monotony, the developer will be required to specify a minimum of four color packages for siding, brick/stone wainscoting, trim, and shutters with no color package used for more than 30 percent of the exterior finish for the total number of dwelling units. A similar requirement for the exterior of the Rottlund townhome buildings was required with the original preliminary plat and PUD-CUP approved in 2006. The brick/stone wainscoting should be extended along the entry side of the garage and forward facing walls surrounding the exterior door of the buildings. Building floor plans must also be submitted for review by the Planning Commission indicating gross floor area and an attached garage with a minimum width of 20 feet and minimum area of 400 square feet. Landscape Plan. The developer has prepared a landscape plan to illustrate plantings proposed as part of the development as required by Section 20-19-2.B of the Zoning Ordinance. The landscape plan provides for overstory trees along the private drives at the front and rear of the proposed detached townhomes as well as a landscape buffer at the rear of the detached townhomes within Block 2, which have double frontage to private drives and will screen the rear of these dwellings from view of the existing townhomes to the north. Our office also recommends revising the landscape plan to provide for evergreen trees at the northeast corner and the east line of Outlot A to provide screening of the existing and planned commercial area to the west. The landscape plan must also add details regarding proposed foundation plantings for each dwelling unit. The types and quantities of proposed plantings indicated on the landscape plan are appropriate, but the proposed tree sizes must be increased to a minimum diameter of 2.0 inches for deciduous trees to comply with Section 20-19-2.6.3 of the Zoning Ordinance. Access. The individual detached townhouse dwellings are accessed via private drives intersecting Quenroe Avenue and 72" d Street. Queens Court and 72nd Court are existing private drives constructed by Rottlund Homes with the first Wildflower Meadows final plat. The developer will construct the other private drives shown on the preliminary plat as part of their development of the subject site. The private drives are to be constructed with a 28 foot wide section with concrete curb and gutter (same as the City's urban public street section) within a 30 foot wide outlot. The developer will reconstruct the existing Queens Court section as well as remove eight guest parking stalls at the rear of Lots 1 and 2, Block 2 as part of the development. The removal of the eight guest parking stalls will not be an issue given the reduction in density by 88 dwelling units. Furthermore, 72"d Court will only be accessed from the north side of the private drive and parking can be easily accommodated along the south side of the roadway. Construction plans for the proposed private drives are to be subject to review and approval by the City Engineer. Lot Requirements. The townhouses approved for development with Wildflower Meadows required a minimum of 5,000 square feet of lot area per dwelling unit. Detached townhouse units are typically less dense being more consistent with the minimum lot area requirements for single family dwellings. As a redevelopment of Wildflower Meadows, the available development site for the proposed detached townhouse is defined by the site design, existing buildings pads and the wetland surrounding them. The preliminary plat provides 8,310 square feet of net lot area per dwelling unit and 10,219 square feet of gross lot area per dwelling unit exceeding the single family lot requirements of the R-6 District The City has required that detached townhome developments be platted in a unit and base lot configuration with the base lot held in common by a homeowners association. The arrangement is appropriate for townhouse type uses given the typically greater density and allows for consistent maintenance of shared property, including yards and private drives. The proposed preliminary plat provides each dwelling with an individual lot, which the developer indicates is to allow maximum flexibility in the design of each house. Given the net area of each individual lot, the limited number of dwelling units, and that this is a redevelopment project, this approach may be acceptable. To ensure that the development continues to function as a detached townhouse neighborhood, City staff recommends that the following provisions be included as conditions of the PUD-CUP, recorded as deed restrictions on each lot, and incorporated as part of the homeowners association regulations: 0 There shall be no detached accessory buildings located on any lot within the preliminary plat. There shall be no fences erected on any lot within the preliminary plat. 3. There shall be no outdoor storage of recreational vehicles, equipment, trailers, or other personal property on any lot within the preliminary plat. Setbacks. The table below illustrates the setback requirements of the applicable to the townhouse development of Wildflower Meadows and those proposed for the detached townhomes: Quenroe Ave./ Wetland Pvt. Interior Side 72nd St Drive principal Attached Min. Bldg. Garage Between Bldgs. Required 25ft, 40ft. 23ft. 7ft. 5ft. 15ft. Proposed 25ft. 40ft. 25ft. 7ft. 5ft. 12ft. The proposed setbacks are generally consistent with those approved with the original Wildflower Meadows PUD-CUP and preliminary plat for townhouse development of the subject site. City staff recommends that the setbacks between buildings be increased to 14 feet to maintain separation between buildings for access and visual open space. Park and Trail Dedication. The parcel of land the City is currently developing as Northwood Park was dedicated with the preliminary plat and first final plat of Wildflower Meadows in partial satisfaction of park and trail dedication requirements. The balance of the park dedication requirements for each phase of Wildflower Meadows, including the subject site, is to by payment of 41.7 percent of the park and trail dedication fee in lieu of land adopted as part of the City's fee schedule in effect at the time of final plat approval on a per dwelling unit basis. Grading Plan. The developer has submitted grading and drainage plans for the proposed preliminary plat. Section 20-16-5.F.4.a of the Zoning Ordinance requires establishment of a 20 foot vegetative buffer at the delineated edge of all wetlands. There is an existing wetland along the west portion of the subject site below the retaining wall. A drainage and utility easement encompassing the wetland and required wetland buffer was dedicated with the first Wildflower Meadows final plat. This area is included within Outlot A shown on the preliminary plat and is not effected by the proposed development. All grading, drainage, and erosion control plans are subject to review and approval of the City Engineer. There is no storm water area charge applicable to the preliminary plat. Utility Plan. The proposed preliminary plat is to be served by City sanitary sewer and water utilities. The developer is required to pay utility availability charges for extension of sanitary sewer and water upon approval of a final plat based on the City fee schedule in effect at that time. All utility plans are subject to review and approval of the City Engineer. Easements. The preliminary plat illustrates drainage and utility easements at the perimeter of each lot as required by Section 21-7-15.A of the Subdivision Ordinance. The drainage and utility easements have been expanded to encompass storm water pipe at the rear of Lots 5-12, Block 3 and over storm water basins within Lots 3 and 4, Block 1; Lot 1, Block 2; and Lots 3 and 4, Block 3. Drainage and utility easements must also be dedicated over all of Outlots A, B, and C as a condition of final plat approval. Outlots. The preliminary plat includes three outlots summarized below: Outlot Purpose Ownership A Wetland/wetland buffer/retaining wall HOA B Private drive HOA C Remnant/driveway easement HOA City staff recommends revising the preliminary plat to include the entire retaining wall as well as the storm water basin at the rear of Lots 3 and 4, Block 2 within Outlot A for long term ownership and maintenance by a homeowners association. Homeowners Association. The proposed preliminary plat requires establishment of a homeowners association to provide for long term ownership of common property including the retaining wall within Outlot A and private driveways within Outlot B. The homeowners association documents must address shared ingress/egress over Outlot B with the existing townhouse dwellings platted with the first Wildflower Meadows final plat. The homeowners association documents must also include provisions prohibiting outdoor storage of recreational equipment, detached accessory structures, and all fences. Final Plat. The developer must submit application for final plat upon approval of a preliminary plat. Final plat applications are subject to City staff review and approval by the City Council. The final plat approval includes execution of a development contract to memorialize all of the conditions of approval and provide for payment of applicable fees. RECOMMENDATION The proposed preliminary plat continues the buildout of the Wildflower Meadows neighborhood with revision of the original development plans. The proposed detached townhouses respond to current market conditions while being consistent with the City's goals to provide housing options beyond traditional single family dwellings. Furthermore, these 0 homes will be compatible with the existing and planned uses in the area. Our office recommends approval of the applications as outlined below. POSSIBLE MOTIONS A.

With the aging of our population becoming one of the Country's main topics this type of living is giving homeowner's the ability to have their own home and still enjoy the life style of having a yard and patio. Over the past couple of years, we have listen to what people are looking for in their retirement age. The most common things we've heard are larger garages, storage and handicap living. We are trying to offer them the things that are most important for them. Another item people are looking for is the freedom from shoveling snow and mowing their yards which will be done by the HOA. Hedberg Homes Inc. was established in 1985 and has building custom homes ever since. We are not a large company and try to offer the one on one building experience to the client. Hedberg Homes offers the latest technology such as viewing their home in 3d before it is ever built and have their project mange through a cloud based program to help eliminate commutation errors. Past projects: We have successfully done roughly thirty-nine units in the past two to three years in the City of Blaine following the same development requirements. Our homes are custom designed for every client to meet their wishes. In the past our prices have ranged from 245k up to 430k just depending upon the client needs and wants. HOA Each homeowner owns his/her own lot which is governed by the HOA. The HOA is split off of the existing HOA for Wildflower Meadows. Homeowner's will be limited to what they can do in their yards and need approval from the HOA, such as no fencing, large gardens, over planting of trees or plants. All yards will be maintained by the HOA including snow removal for walks, drives and road. Each homeowner needs to provide their own insurance on their home and are not tied into paying for damage on someone else's property. Homeowner's only need to maintain their home and not worry about someone else's. HOA with maintain all out lots which includes the roads for the property and outline in the HOA documents. 4247 117th Ave. Blaine MN 55449 763-242-3067 U01698 hedberghomes@hedberghomes.com Page 1 Architecture of homes All homes are designed by us with the goal of no two looking the same throughout the development, but sometimes that can be tough to achieve. We will offer a style of home with two story's consisting of two bedrooms up and loft options. This style will look like a one level on the front elevation. One of our popular styles offering clients to have grandchildren to stay without being in their hair. We will also offer handicap style homes and design to the need of the client. Materials used All homes to have Designer type shingles with a combination on front elevation of vinyl siding and cultured stone. We really do not have any restrictions on style since we control the design of the home that puts us as a safe guard to the project. All exterior colors shall be of earth tones. Storm room We construct a storm room in all of our homes that backs up to the garage wall which consists of bolting secured into the concrete floor with steel rods running from the floor up past the wall plates and then plywood all walls to connect walls together. We know that this is not going to give protection of 100% of a large storm but we believe it will offer some. Sale price Depending upon development costs we are looking at price ranging from 250k and up. Custom design by the client can raise that pricing Features in the homes One of our most popular items that we offer is radiant in floor heating with the gas boiler doubling as the domestic hot water. It is the most officiant affordable heating system that is on the market and when the client goes on vacation they not wasting the expense of heating water in the typical type water heater. Another popular option is the curb less walk-in shower, no toe tripping curb. Hedberg Homes Inc. is looking forward to providing a product that we believe will only be growing over the next ten years as the population becomes older. This type of product gives people the option of not being in a large three story complex with the freedom of still owning a home of their own.

The lot setbacks, widths, lengths and sizes are subject to Council approval. 12. The existing private streets of Queens Court and 72nd Court as well as additional private drives are proposed to serve the new lots. Queens Court is proposed to have the bituminous surface completely removed with the proposed improvements. Written permission from the current Horne Owners Association responsible for these streets is required. 13. 2 new entrances are proposed to access the public streets of 72" d Street and Quenroe Avenue. Both entrances will require altering the existing curb and gutter and some bituminous to make these connections. 14. The proposed Outlot B proposes to cover the private streets as well as much of the public water, sanitary and storrn sewer. This Outlot shall be covered with a drainage and utility easement dedicated to the City. PAGE 4 C:\Users\Tami.OTSEGOWppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows\INetCache\Content.0utlook\1HD3FVW1\ot2334 RVW1,doc 15. Additional drainage and/or utility easements are needed beyond Outlot B to cover the storm and sanitary sewer and watermain. A minimum of 10' on each side of all pipe shall be covered by easements. (Stone sewer in NE coiner of L8,B2 and storm sewer along south side of 72nd Court and west side of Quast Avenue). 16. The horizontal curves do not meet the minimum requirement required by the City of Otsego. 90 degree intersection required a 90' radius or shall meet a 30 mph design speed. Removals Sheet 4) 17. The removal of the curb and gutter at Quast Avenue is missing from the plans. A detail or more information is necessary for how this new connection is to be made. 18. The hydrant at the intersection of 71st Street and Quenroe Ave will be in the way of the new connection and shall be relocated. 19. The unused storm sewer stubs from the existing storm structures shall be removed or at least plugged inside the manholes. Preliminary Site And Utility Plan (Sheet 5) 20. Depict the service locations for each lot. 21. Provide proposed rim and invert elevations as well as all pipe types and sizes for all utilities. 22. See Comment #20. 23. Typically contractors will not want to tie into and pressure test against an existing valve such as the one at 71" Street and Quenroe Ave. If the existing valve is to be used it should be called to the contractors attention in the plans. 2 back to back valves will ne be allowed. If a new valve is to be installed the existing valve shall be opened and the top 4' of the valve box shall be removed. Grading and Erosion Control Plan (Sheet 7) 24. Label the grades of the existing streets. 25. The normal and 100 year elevation for the wetland to the west shall be labeled. 26. Label the emergency overflow (EOF) elevations in the street gutter. The high point along Quast Avenue appears to be and EOF and may require some of the garage floor elevations to be raised. i.e. we calculate an EOF — 895.7. A minimum of 1.5' of freeboard fiom this is required therefore Lots 1-4, Block 3 minimum garage floor elevations shall be 897.2. 27. Label the high points in the rear yards of Lots 7-11, Block 3 as EOFs. 28. Final plans will require profiles for each street with vertical curve information.

R, t f��A FINDINGS OF FACT AND DECISION APPLICANT: Hedberg Homes, Inc. APPLICATION: Request for approval of a Preliminary Plat/PUD-CUP for 24 detached townhouses to be known as Wildflower Meadows Villas. CITY COUNCIL MEETING: 25 July 2016 FINDINGS: Based upon review of the application and evidence received, the City Council of the City of Otsego now makes the following findings of fact: A. The legal description of the property is Outlot A, Wildflower Meadows, City of Otsego, Wright County, State of Minnesota. B. The subject site is guided by the Comprehensive Plan for medium -to -high density residential land uses within the East Sewer District. C. The subject site is zoned R-7, High Density Residential District. D. The City Council approved a preliminary plat and PUD-CUP for the subject site on 13 March 2006. E. The applicant is proposing a preliminary plat/PUD-CUP and 24 detached townhomes to be known as Wildflower Meadows Villas. F. The Planning Commission and City Council must take into consideration the possible effects of the PUD-CUP with their judgment based upon (but not limited to) the criteria outlined in Section 20-4-2.F of the Zoning Ordinance: The proposed action's consistency with the specific policies and provisions of the Otsego Comprehensive Plan. Finding: The subject site is guided by the 2012 Comprehensive Plan for Medium/High Density Residential and the townhouse development approved with the original Wildflower Meadows preliminaryplat reflects this designation. Changing the unit type from attached townhomes to detached townhomes (with a significant decrease in density of 88 dwelling units) has no negative effect on City infrastructure. The proposed detached townhomes also provide an alternative to traditional single family dwellings that are currently in high demand in the market reflecting changing demographics. Development of the proposed detached townhomes will expand housing choices within Wildflower Meadows and the City overall consistent with the goals of the Comprehensive Plan. 2. The proposed use's compatibility with present and future land uses of the area. Finding: The subject site is surrounded by the following existing and planned land uses: Direction Land Use Plan Zoning Map Existing Use North MD/HD Residential R-7 District Townhouse East LD/MD Residential A-1 District Rural single family South MD/HD Residential A-1 District Single family West Commercial C-3 District Convenience gas The proposed detached townhouse dwellings are a significant decrease in density from the townhouses approved for the subject site with the Wildflower Meadows preliminary plat but remain a transitional land use. The area to the south of the subject site was also approved for development of townhouse uses but the property reverted to A-1 District zoning after expiration of said approval and a new single family dwelling accessing Quenroe Avenue has been constructed. Consideration for additional landscaping must be given to providing screening of the commercial uses planned and under development to the west of the subject site. 3. The proposed use's conformity with all performance standards contained within the Zoning Ordinance and other provisions of the City Code. Finding: The proposed development will comply with the requirements of the Zoning Ordinance, Subdivision Ordinance, and Engineering Manual. Whereas the City typically requires detached townhouse uses to be platted in a unit and base lot configuration, the proposed preliminary plat design allows for greater flexibility in dwelling unit design and siting within the boundaries and in -place infrastructure. Conditions are to be included as a condition of the PUD-CUP restricting use of the individual yards so as to function in effect the same as a base lot development. 4. Traffic generation of the proposed use in relation to capabilities of streets serving the property. Finding: The subject site is accessed by CSAH 37 designated as a major collector street and CSAH 42 designated as a minor arterial street by the 2012 Otsego Comprehensive Plan and Northeast Wright County Transportation Plan. These roadways have adequate existing and planned capacity to accommodate the proposed development, especially in consideration of the reduction in density by 88 dwelling units. 5. The proposed use can be accommodated by existing public services and facilities and will not overburden the City's service capacity. Finding: The subject site is located within the East Sewer District designated by the 2012 Comprehensive Plan, where the City anticipates provision of urban services, including utilities, roadways, and infrastructure, necessary to support urban development. There is adequate available service capacity to support the proposed development, especially in consideration of the reduction in density by 88 dwelling units. G.
