Background/Discussion
The plat of Eagles Marsh was first approved on August 20, 2001, and included 39 single-family lots and a
lot for a municipal water tower. An update was approved on July 17, 2017, and to date, 29 single-family
lots have been final platted along with the water tower parcel. Approval of the preliminary plat is required
as a final plat has not been recorded since 2017. The only changes from the original plat are associated
with standards that have changed since 2001.
Planning Commission
The applicant submitted an email objecting to the requirement that the sidewalk be extended along the
south side of Lincoln Street. Previous approvals had not included this requirement and the current
proposal includes a sidewalk along the north side of Lincoln Street. Staff included the condition to add
the sidewalk after completing a larger scope review of the sidewalk network, noting the current
termination of the sidewalk on the south side of Lincoln Street, and considering the grade separation
between east/west bound Lincoln Street.
The city also received an email during the public hearing asking about the future of the potential trail.
The applicant stated the current trail terminates at city property, which it does, and the 2018 Trails Master
Plan includes a trail around Kliever Lake. When the trail is constructed, it will likely use the current
terminus of the sidewalk.
The Commission discussed the sidewalk extension and felt the additional sidewalk connection was
appropriate. The Commission unanimously recommended approval of the preliminary plat.
Development Agreement
The conditions of approval include a requirement of a signed Development Agreement. The agreement
outlines the costs and responsibilities to the satisfaction of city staff.
Staff and the city attorney drafted a Development Agreement outlining these responsibilities and are seeking
Council approval. The Development Agreement closely follows our standard agreement, and outlines required
security in the form of a Letter of Credit and escrow deposits.

■ Preliminary Plat for Eagles Marsh Fourth
Addition, Case No. P 20-08
Action Requested
Recommend, by motion, approval of the Preliminary Plat for Eagles
Marsh Fourth Addition, with the following conditions:
1. Pedestrian ramps must meet current ADA standards,
including landings and truncated domes.
2. Access to 17760 Lincoln Street must be maintained during
construction.
3. Staff approval of all site, engineering, and utility plans.
4. Sidewalks should be added to the south side of Lincoln
Street and extended to the intersection with Johnson Street.
5. All homes are required to have two trees in the front yard
per ordinance.
6. All mailboxes shall be clustered.
Background/Discussion
The plat of Eagles Marsh was first approved on August 20, 2001,
and included 39 single-family lots and a lot for a municipal water
tower. An update was approved on July 17, 2017, and to date, 29
single-family lots have been final platted along with the water tower
parcel. Approval of the preliminary plat is required as a final plat has
not been recorded since 2017. The only changes from the original
plat are associated with standards that have changed since 2001.
Comprehensive Plan Figure I
The Comprehensive Plan guides this area for urban residential uses where homes will be connected to
city services. The proposal meets all requirements of the plan.
Site Plan
ywy
�a
6y
The plat includes 10 new single-family lots, which are the final 10 lots in the subdivision. All of the
parcels are within the city's Shoreland Management Zone, requiring a minimum lot size of 20,000 square
feet and 125 feet in width. The plat also includes the right-of-way for Lincoln Street NW, which will
PV0WIAEU 6Y
m/■'► RE
intersect Johnson Street. The segment of Lincoln Street left to be constructed will be divided, with all
homes on the street having right-in/out access only. Due to the topography of the site the split road has
been proposed to minimize grading and create more useable parcels. All of the parcels meet the minimum
design standards described in the city code. Sidewalks are shown on the north side of Lincoln Street, but
there is an existing sidewalk on the south side of Lincoln Street. Staff has included a condition to extend
both sidewalks to the intersection with Johnson Street.
The applicant is also proposing to Final Plat the remaining 10 lots.
Engineering and Utilities
The grading and utility plans are generally consistent with the plans from the original subdivision in 2001.
Much of the site has been rough graded, and minimal work will be needed to prepare the current addition
for construction.
Public utilities have been installed beneath Lincoln Street, and the stubs are in place. All homes will be
connected to city services.
Parks
Park dedication was satisfied with the dedication of Outlot B, Eagles Marsh Second Addition, and
additional land or cash dedications are not required.
Preliminary Plat
City ordinance section 30-375 outlines the required findings for approval of a Preliminary Plat.
9. The proposed subdivision is consistent with the honing regulations (article VI of this chapter) and conforms in all
respects n ith all requirements of this Code, including the honing regulations and this article.
The proposed subdivision is consistent with all zoning regulations, including the additional design
standards required for lots within the shore land management district.
2. The proposed subdivision is consistent n ith all applicable general and speciali.Zed city, county, and regional plans,
including but not limited to, the city's comprehensive development plan.
The subdivision is consistent with all applicable plans.
3. The physical characteristics of the site, including but not limited to topography, soils, vegetation, susceptibility to
erosion and siltation, susceptibility to flooding, and drainage are suitable for the type and density of development and
uses contemplated.
Specific concerns related to topography and density have been addressed through the design
process. Some of the changes include the larger lots due to proximity to Kliever Marsh, and the
divided roadway to reduce grading needs. The site is suited for the proposed development.
4. The proposed subdivision makes adequate provision for n ater supply, storm drainage, sewage transportation,
erosion control and all other services, facilities and improvements otherm'se required in this article.
The subdivision includes public utilities and stormwater infrastructure to meet city requirements.
Additional permits required to comply with erosion control standards are a requirement of city
ordinances and must be reviewed and approved separately.
5. The proposed subdivision will not cause substantial environmental damage.
The subdivision will not cause substantial environmental damage. The increased design standards
for parcels near natural environmental features ensure substantial damage will not occur.
6. The proposed subdivision will not conflict with easements of record or n.,ith easements established by judgment of a
court.
The subdivision does not conflict with easements of record.
7. The proposed subdivision mill not have an undue and adverse impact on the reasonable development of neighboring
land.
This will be one of the last subdivisions in the area, and will not impact reasonable development
of neighboring land.
8. The proposed subdivision is not premature. A subdivision is premature if any of the following exists:
a. Lack of adequate stormn.,ater drainage.
b. Lack of adequate roads.
C. Lack of adequate sanitary sen!er 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.
In reviewing the standards for approval of a preliminary plat, the proposed project meets the standards,
and is recommended for approval.

1. COMMENT: Pedestrian ramps must meet current ADA standards, including landings
and truncated domes.
RRLSE Response
(4/28/2020): Noted. The proposed project contains no new pedestrian ramps.
2. COMMENT: Access to 17760 Lincoln Street must be maintained during construction.
RRLSE Response

RRLSE Response
(4/28/2020): The original design, subsequent utility installation, and mass grading
of Lincoln Street was completed during the EAGLES MARSH
SECOND ADDITION project in 2005/2006. At that time, sidewalk
was designed along the North side of Lincoln Street from 178'
Avenue to Johnson Street. Also at that time, sidewalk was only
installed on the South side of Lincoln Street east of 178' Avenue to
connect with the City owned outlot adjacent to 17760 Lincoln Street.
It was not intended to be extended on the South side of Lincoln Street
to the intersection with Johnson Street.

Subject: Re: [EXTERNAL] 4/28/2020 meeting
Can you say more regarding the sidewalk to give access to the undeveloped park land near the marsh.
My lot adjoins the access. Will it be a trail? Is there a trail proposed around the marsh?

for all the City's costs and expenses incurred in the processing of the Subdivision and installation of
improvements, including review of plans and construction observation and in regard to any action or
event of default by Developer, resulting in any suit or proceeding at law or in equity to which the City
shall become a party in reference to the Developer's interest in the Development. Reimbursement
shall be due and payable to the City within thirty (30) days following the receipt of a statement

Developer's total indebtedness to the City pursuant to the terms of this Agreement;,
and,
(ii) the security will not be released below fifty thousand dollars ($50,000) until

be resubmitted to the City Council for consideration of changes required for the wetland approvals.
The City shall receive a copy of the monitoring report annually for three years.
(03) Erosion Control. Prior to initiating any work on the site, the erosion control plan, Plan B,
shall be implemented by the Developer and inspected and approved by the City or other regulating
authority. The City may impose additional erosion control requirements if they are deemed necessary
to protect the downstream waters of the state. All areas disturbed by the grading operations shall be
stabilized per the MPCA NPDES Stormwater Permit for Construction Activity and the City MS4
permit. Seed shall be in accordance with the City's current seeding specification which will include
temporary erosion control measures to provide ground cover as rapidly as possible. All seeded areas
shall be fertilized, mulched, and watered as necessary for seed retention and growth. The parties
recognize that time is of the essence in controlling erosion. If the Developer does not comply with
the MPCA NPDES Stormwater Permit for Construction Activity, the City MS4 permit, with the
erosion control plan and schedule, or supplementary instructions received from the City or other
regulating authority, the City may take such action as it deems appropriate to control erosion. The City
will endeavor to notify the Developer in advance of any proposed action, but failure of the City to do
so will not affect the Developer's and City's rights or obligations hereunder. If the Developer does
not reimburse the City for any cost the City incurred for such work within ten (10) days, the City may
draw down the letter of credit to pay any costs. No development, utility or street construction will be
allowed and no building permits will be issued unless the plat is in full compliance with the approved
erosion control plan.
(04) Grading. The Subdivision shall be graded in accordance with the approved grading
development and erosion control plan, Plan B. The plan shall conform to City specifications. Within
thirty (30) days after completion of the grading and before the City approves individual building
permits (except up to three model home permits on lots acceptable to the Building Official per section
18), the Developer shall provide the City with an "as constructed" grading plan certified by a registered
land surveyor or engineer that all storm water treatment/infiltration basins and swales, have been
constructed on public easements or land owned by the City. The "as constructed" plan shall include
field verified elevations of the following: (a) cross sections of storm water treatment/infiltration
basins; (b) location and elevations along all swales, wetlands, wetland mitigation areas if any, locations
and dimensions of borrow areas/stockpiles, and installed "conservation area" posts; and (c) lot corner
elevations and house pads, and all other items listed in the City Code. The City will withhold issuance
of building permits until the approved certified grading plan is on file with the City and all erosion
control measures, including full vegetation of entire site, are in place as determined by the City
Engineer. The Developer certifies to the City that all lots with house footings placed on fill have been
monitored and constructed to meet or exceed FHA/HUD 79G specifications. The soils observation
and testing report, including referenced development phases and lot descriptions, shall be submitted
to the Building Official for review prior to the issuance of building permits.
(05) CleanUa. The Developer shall clean dirt and debris from all streets that has resulted from
construction work by the Developer, home builders, subcontractors, their agents or assigns. Prior to
any construction in the plat, the Developer shall identify in writing a responsible party and schedule
for erosion control, street cleaning, and street sweeping.
(06) National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System Requirements. Prior to the commencement
of any work, the Developer shall provide a signed Storm Water Pollution Prevention Plan for City
review and approval to control erosion from the site. Because the site is over one (1) acre, the
Developer shall also apply for and obtain an NPDES permit from the Minnesota Pollution Control
Agency.
(07) Municipal Separate Storm Sewer System Requirements. All stormwater management activities
shall comply with the City MS4 permit.
16. Default.
(01) Remedies. In the event of default by the Developer as to any of the work to be performed by
it hereunder, the City may, at its option, perform the work and the Developer shall promptly reimburse
the City for any expense incurred by the City, provided the Developer, except in an emergency as
determined by the City, is first given notice of the work in default, not less than forty-eight (48) hours
in advance. This Agreement is a license for the City to act, and it shall not be necessary for the City to
seek a Court order for permission to enter the land. When the City does any such work, the City may,
in addition to its other remedies, assess the cost in whole or in part.
(02) Acceleration on Default. In the event Developer, or its heirs, successors or assigns, violates
any of the covenants and agreements herein contained, or fails to pay any amount due to the city, the
City, at its option in addition to its other rights and remedies, by written notice of default given to the
Developer, may declare all amounts to be paid by the Developer pursuant to this Agreement, , due and
payable in full, with interest, immediately, or on such date as the City shall specify in its notice of default
to Developer. If Developer fails to make payment in the amount and at the time specified in the City's
10
notice of default to Developer, City may, at its option, draw on the security provided by Developer
pursuant to Section 8 of this Agreement and/or commence legal action against Developer to collect
the entire amount owed by Developer, including reasonable attorneys' fees. Developer shall be
personally liable for such amounts due and, if more than one, such liability shall be joint and several.
17. Issuance of Building and Occupancy Permits.
(01) Building Permits. The City will not issue any building permit (a permit issued for construction
of a structure to be sold and occupied by a new owner) for any lot or parcel in the Subdivision until all
small and large utilities are installed, streets are paved with the first lift of pavement and vegetation is
full established. City will not issue a certificate of occupancy (said certificate will allow the structure to
be transferred to a new owner for the purpose of permanent occupancy) for any building constructed
on any lot or parcel in the Subdivision until all Improvements (except final lift of paving) are completed,
approved by the City Engineer and accepted by the City. Temporary certificates of occupancy may be
issued for sites with model permits; however, such certificates will not allow the structure to be
transferred to a new owner for the purpose of occupancy.
(02) Notice to Homebuyers. If the Developer fails to comply with any of provisions of this
Agreement, the City may refuse to issue a building permit or certificate of occupancy for any lot or
parcel in the Subdivision. Developer agrees to advise purchasers of any lot or parcel within the
Subdivision of the existence of this contract and the obligations and restrictions created herein prior
to the completion of the sale. Further, Developer agrees to save and hold City harmless from any and
all claims or actions arising from the right to withhold the issuance of such permits and certificates and
from other provisions hereof.
18. Model Homes.
(01) The City may issue building permits for the construction of up to two model homes on lots
approved by the Building Official prior to completion of the public and private infrastructure, provided
that access to the site for emergency vehicles is maintained at all times. City will not issue a certificate
of occupancy (said certificate will allow the structure to be transferred to a new owner for the purpose
of permanent occupancy) for any building constructed on any lot or parcel in the Subdivision until all
Improvements (except final lift of paving) are completed, approved by the City Engineer and accepted
by the City. Temporary certificates of occupancy may be issued for sites; however, such certificates
will not allow the structure to be transferred to a new owner for the purpose of occupancy.
19. Miscellaneous.
(01) Filing of Final Plat and Developer Agreement. Before construction commences on the
Improvements, the Final Plat of the Subdivision and this Developer Agreement must be filed and
recorded and all necessary easements shall have been conveyed to the City, unless the City authorizes
in writing the commencement of limited construction activities.
(02) Incorporation by Reference. The exhibits to this Agreement shall be and hereby are made a
part of this Agreement by reference as fully as if set forth herein in full.
(03) No Replacement. This Agreement is in addition to and is not in replacement of the terms and
conditions of the Petition for Public Improvements and Waiver of Right to Public Hearing and Right
to Object relating to the Subdivision executed by Developer.
(04) Regulatory Compliance. The Developer represents to the City that the Subdivision complies
with all city, county, metropolitan, state, and federal laws and regulations, including but not limited to:
11
subdivision ordinances, zoning ordinances, and environmental regulations. If the City determines that
the plat does not comply, the City may, at its option, refuse to allow construction or development work
in the Subdivision until the Developer does comply. Upon the City's demand, the Developer shall
cease work until there is compliance.
(05) Third Parties. Third parties shall have no recourse against the City under this Agreement.
(06) Breach. Breach of the terms of this Agreement by the Developer shall be grounds for denial
of building permits, including lots sold to third parties.

Agreement is for any reason held invalid, such decision shall not affect the validity of the remaining
portion of this Agreement.
(08) Damage to Improvements. If building permits are issued prior to the acceptance of
Improvements, the Developer assumes all liability and costs resulting in delays in completion of public
Improvements and damage to Improvements caused by the City, Developer, its contractors,
subcontractors, material men, employees, agents, or third parties. No sewer and water connections or
inspections may be conducted and no one may occupy a building for which a building permit is issued
on either a temporary or permanent basis until the streets needed for access have been paved with a
bituminous surface, the utilities are completed, and the vegetation is established and accepted by the
City Engineer.
(09) Amendments. The action or inaction of the City shall not constitute a waiver or amendment
to the provisions of this Agreement. To be binding, amendments or waivers shall be in writing, signed
by the parties and approved by written resolution of the City Council. The City's failure to promptly
take legal action to enforce this Agreement shall not be a waiver or release.

title to the property. The Developer covenants with the City, its successors and assigns, that the
Developer is well seized in fee title of the property being final platted and/or has obtained consents to

(11) Insurance. The Developer and contractor shall acquire public liability and property damage
insurance covering personal injury, including death, and claims for property damage which may arise
out of the Developer's work or the work of their subcontractors or by one directly or indirectly
employed by any of them. The insurance must be maintained until six (6) months after the City has
accepted the Improvements. Limits for bodily injury and death shall be not less than $500,000 for one
person and $1,000,000 for each occurrence; limits for property damage shall be not less than $200,000
for each occurrence; or a combination single limit policy of $1,000,000 or more. The City shall be

12
as may be deemed expedient by the City and shall not be a waiver of the right to exercise at any time
thereafter any other right, power or remedy.
(13) Assignment The Developer may not assign this Agreement without the written permission
of the City Council. The Developer's obligation hereunder shall continue in full force and effect even
if the Developer sells one or more lots, the entire plat, or any part of it.

MEMORANDUM
TO: Zack Carlton, Planning Manager
CC: Rick Foster, Developer - Delivered under separate cover
FROM: Seth Monroe, Project Manager
Timothy A. Eggerichs PE, Design Engineer
DATE: May 13, 2020
RE: Additional Comment Response for Preliminary Plat Review of EAGLES MARSH
FOURTH ADDITION
As requested by you in our phone conversation on May 12, 2020, below is our additional response to
condition No. 4 of the Request for Action prepared by you for the April 28, 2020 Planning
Commission Meeting:
4. CONDITION: Sidewalks should be added to the south side of Lincoln Street and extended to
the intersection with Johnson Street.
Previous RRLSE Response (04/28/2020):
The original design, subsequent utility installation, and mass grading of Lincoln Street
was completed during the EAGLES MARSH SECOND ADDITION project in 2005/2006.
At that time, sidewalk was designed along the North side of Lincoln Street from 178th
Avenue to Johnson Street. Also at that time, sidewalk was only installed on the South side
of Lincoln Street east of 178t" Avenue to connect with the City owned outlot adjacent to
17760 Lincoln Street. It was not intended to be extended on the South side of Lincoln
Street to the intersection with Johnson Street.
Additional RRLSE Response (05/13/2020):
There are issues that will affect the construction of the sidewalk on the south side of
Lincoln Street through the Eagles Marsh Fourth Addition. The first issue is that during
construction of Eagles Marsh Third Addition, a 130-foot section of the sidewalk along the
north side of Lincoln Street was constructed in accordance with the City approved plans.
The current plans for the Eagles Marsh Fourth Addition include extending this section of
sidewalk to the east along the north side of Lincoln Street consistent with previously
approved plans.
Mr. Zack Carlton

Another issue affecting the construction of the sidewalk on the south side of Lincoln Street
is that the public utilities, including sewer and water service stubs and hydrants, have
been constructed based on previously approved plans. On the north side of Lincoln Street,
the sewer and water service stubs were extended 10 feet beyond the right-of-way line,
which will allow for future connection to the sewer and water services without disturbing
the sidewalk. On the south side of Lincoln Street, the sewer and water service stubs were
only extended to the right-of-way line. The sidewalk would have to be removed and
replaced when the future services are connected if the sidewalk was to be constructed on
the south side of Lincoln Street. The hydrant that was constructed with a previous phase
was constructed on the south side of Lincoln Street, five feet behind the curb. This hydrant
would have to be relocated if a sidewalk is constructed on the south side of Lincoln Street.
It is worth noting that the public utilities along Lincoln Street were only installed with
Eagles Marsh Second Addition at the request of then City Engineer, Terry Maurer. The
installation of the watermain along Lincoln Street was needed to improve the water
system in adjacent developments to the North and Northwest of Eagles Marsh.
Subsequently all of the public utilities were installed along Lincoln Street as to not create
future difficulties.
In addition to the public utilities, the private utilities, including the pedestals,
transformers and light poles, were installed for Eagles Marsh Fourth Addition during the
construction of Eagles Marsh Second Addition. These utilities may have to be relocated if
a sidewalk is constructed on the south side of Lincoln Street.
The sidewalk on the south side of Lincoln Street was only extended to Outlot B of Eagles
Marsh Second Addition, which is approximately 170 feet west of Eagles Marsh Fourth
Addition. Extension of the sidewalk on the south side of Lincoln Street would require
disturbing the boulevard area and driveway of the property at 17760 Lincoln Street.
Disturbing this existing property is not desirable.
In our opinion, due to the issues mentioned above, constructing the sidewalk only on the
north side of Lincoln Street based on previously approved plans is the most feasible and
practical design.
