5.2.c. PCSR 08-28-2018
The Elk River Vision
A welcoming community with revolutionary and spirited resourcefulness, exceptional
service, and community engagement that encourages and inspires prosperity
Additional public works items are outline in the attached Public Works memo dated August 17, 2018, and
the Stormwater memo dated August 8, 2018.
Environmental
The wetland delineation was submitted and reviewed by the Technical Evaluation Panel (TEP) on July
30, 2018. The original delineation was completed in May and the boundaries were not accurate based on
observed site conditions in July. One small basin was not included in the original report and numerous
other basins were larger than what was represented in the original report. The delineator needs to update
the report and resubmit in August. This plat will need to be updated based on the correct wetland
boundaries after final approval from the TEP. The plat will also need to include a drainage and utility
easement over the entirety of the 45 foot wetland buffer area.
Landscaping
The landscape plan shows the minimum of two trees per parcel with one in the boulevard area and one in
the front yard. The plan complies with Section 30-934 (c).
Parks and Recreation
The Parks and Recreation Commission recommended that park dedication be paid for 16 dwelling units
at the rate applicable when the subdivision is released for recording.
Applicable Regulations

6. The proposed subdivision will not conflict with easements of record or with easements established by judgment of
a court.
The proposed subdivision will not conflict with easements of record or with easements
established by judgment of a court.
7. The proposed subdivision will not have an undue and adverse impact on the reasonable development of
neighboring land.
The proposed subdivision will not impact reasonable development of neighboring land.
Although most of the surrounding properties are developed with homes, there are two 10
acre parcels (75-101-3402 & 75-101-3403) directly to the east, one with a home and one
without. They are currently owned by the same party. Both of these properties are currently
accessed via Grant Street and could be subdivided into 2 ½ acre parcels. In order to limit the
number of cul-de-sacs, a street connection between Grant St. and the proposed Johnson St.
(Circle) is in the best interest of the city.
8. The proposed subdivision is not premature. A subdivision is premature if any of the following exists:
a. Lack of adequate stormwater drainage.
b. Lack of adequate roads.
c. Lack of adequate sanitary sewer systems.
d. Lack of adequate off-site public improvements or support systems.
The subdivision is not premature as the above conditions have been provided for.
Financial Impact
None

MONROE ESTATES by Christian Builders
Description of Project
Christian Builders is proposing to create a new, sixteen lot custom single family neighborhood
at the northwest corner of Monroe Street and 221st Avenue NW. The proposed plat consists
of six 2.5 acre lots on the western half of the property. Ten 1.5 acre lots, fronting on a new
cul-de-sac, are located on the eastern half of the property. All homes would be custom build
sites with a variety of styles selected by each future homeowner.
Developer Approach and History in Elk River
Christian Builders is acting as the overall developer, and is also planning to build each home
ensuring a high level of quality and consistency within the neighborhood. Christian Builders is
very familiar with building homes in Elk River and has created other PUD neighborhoods within
the city limits such as Ridges of Rice Lake, Windsor Woods 1st & 2nd additions, and the
Rolling Hills neighborhood that is located approx. 2,000 feet northwest of this parcel.
Property Legal Description
The property has been surveyed by Loucks Associates and is identified as follows:
The Southwest Quarter of the Southwest Quarter of Section 1, Township 33, Range 26,
Sherburne County, Minnesota.
The PID # is: 75-101-3300
Compatibility with Surrounding Properties
The proposed project area is currently surrounded by a mix of agricultural uses and large lot
residential. The proposed plan is well buffered from adjacent properties and we expect
impact on adjoining parcels to be minimal
Current Zoning and Future Land Use
The parcel is currently zoned Agricultural Conservation (A1), but guided for low density
residential on the Comprehensive Land Use Guide Plan. Our proposed development plan is
consistent with the proposed land uses.
Desire for Planned Unit Development (PUD) Zoning
Because we are providing two different minimum lot sizes, and have a slightly longer than
standard cul-de-sac, we are requesting a PUD zoning change for the parcel. We are in
conformance with the R1B zoning requirements related to lot width, setbacks, and lot
coverage. We are well in excess of the minimum lot size of one acre in the R1B residential
district.
Private Well and Septic
This property is outside the areas expected to receive municipal services in the foreseeable
future. We are planning individual private wells and septic fields for each lot. Our site plan
clearly identifies primary and secondary septic locations of at least 6,000 SF each. A septic
specialist, Bob Polgreen, has walked the site and taken soil borings at multiple locations across
the property. A copy of his report is attached. Generally, the site is suitable everywhere for
Type III systems, but further exploration of suitable areas for Type I systems will be performed
on a lot-by-lot basis at a later date.
Proposed Grading
Grading for the lots will be competed to provide natural walkout lots wherever possible. The
proposed 2.5 acre lots on the west side will definitely by fully custom graded to take
advantage of natural building sites. The slightly smaller 1.5 acre lots fronting on the cul-de-sac
are more likely to have mass grading done as part of the road construction, but still offer some
custom grading options depending on preferred home style.
Stormwater Management:
The property will have minor increased stormwater runoff due to the new roadway, individual
driveways, and roofs. Storm ponding will be provided in two locations on the eastern portion
of the property primarily addressing the new cul-de-sac impact.
Wetland Impact
Five existing wetlands were delineated by Kjolhaug Environment Services on May 18th, 2018.
Our existing conditions mapping shows the boundaries of the field verified locations. The site
plan has been carefully laid out to avoid any impact on existing wetlands. Building setbacks
(20’) and no touch buffers (25’) are clearly shown and no impact to those areas is planned.
Natural Features
The existing property has been farmed for many years. The natural features of the site are
limited to the existing wetlands (farmed) and a few small areas of existing tree cover. We have
preserved as many of the treed areas as possible, and the only impact is at the far north end of
the cul-de-sac offering essentially a single wooded lot. Some tree removal is anticipated in
this area, but will be limited to the house pad itself and minor custom grading in that area..
Roadway Design and Impact
The proposed development will require improvements to the existing Monroe Street corridor,
as well as construction of a new cul-de-sac on the east half. Both streets will be constructed to
the standards shown on the City of Elk River’s Engineering standard plate #2011. The roads
will be 32’ edge to edge with a rural section.
Anticipated Price Range
Homes in this neighborhood will likely be priced from $450,000 to $550,000.
Park Dedication and System Impact
The Comprehensive Park and Trail Plans show little future development in this area of the City.
A trail corridor, running along 221st Avenue NW is planned, but no other park impacts are
expected on this parcel. It is assumed that park dedication requirements will be paid in cash
rather than land.

The department listed above has reviewed the application listed below and has the following
comments:
Case #SP 18-03 Derek Montague – site plan review single family home
1. The wetland delineation for this property was approved on June 15, 2018. The
wetland is at the bottom of a significant slope on the south side of the property. The
encroachment on site is into the 20 foot buffer setback and 25 foot wetland buffer. Proper
erosion control will be critical during construction to ensure no run off enters the wetland
area.
Case #P 18-10 / ZC 18-04/ CUP 18-14 Monroe Estates

(Technical Evaluation Panel) on July 30, 2018. The original delineation was completed in
May and the boundaries were not accurate given observed site conditions in July. One small
basin was not included in the original report at all and numerous other basins were larger
than the original report. The delineator has been contacted and they plan to update the
report and resubmit in August. This plat will need to be updated to include the correct
wetland boundaries after the final NOD is issued. All wetlands must meet the 45 foot
setback. Wetlands and buffer areas should all be within outlots as well.
Case #P 18-09 Dickenson Addition simple plat
1. No concerns or issues with the application as proposed. There is a significant
wetland complex on the north side of the property along the Elk River. Much of this area is
also within the floodplain and entirely within a drainage and utility easement. Both items
would need to be addressed before any changes could be made on site.

Case #18-04 Danielle Scharber – site plan review retaining wall/fence/pool
1. This site is encroaching in to the 20 foot wetland buffer setback area for the pool
and retaining wall location. The wetland area on the west portion of this property is at the
bottom of a steep hill in the backyard. The pool and retaining wall location and installation
will need to be completed in a way to prevent damage to the wetland including erosion
control measures. The encroachment is limited to the proposed pool location and existing
vegetation beyond that area must remain untouched. All retaining walls must include at least
12 inches of clear backfill material directly behind the wall. The clear backfill material must
be separated from the adjacent soils with landscape fabric.
