ATTACHMENTS
Revised Preliminary Plat, Report to the Planning Commission dated April
14, 1994, memo to the Park and Recreation Commission dated March 31,
1994, Report to the Planning Commission dated February 22, 1994, draft of
City Council minutes dated March 21, 1994, draft of Planning Commission
minutes dated February 22, 1994.
BACKGROUND
e
This item was originally presented to the City Council on March 21, 1994. At
that meeting, discussion centered on the plat's design, lot size (density), and
the development's impact to the trees on the northerly limits of the plat.
Dave Anderson, Park and Recreation Commission Chairman, was present at
the meeting and elaborated on the number and quality of trees that exist
along the northern seven (7) acres of the property. Upon further discussion
by the Council, staff was directed to work with the developer to come up with
a revised preliminary plat that would save a majority of the trees along the
north portion of the property, and possibly reduce the density of the project.
The Council also requested this item go back to the Park and Recreation
Commission as well as the Planning Commission.

OVERVIEW
Revised plat basically involves scaling the project back to 73 lots, saving a
majority of the trees on the north part of the property by dedicating the
seven (7) acres as park land, and realigning the roadway off of Orono
Parkway to avoid as many trees as possible.
The only new issue that has come up since the last time the City Council
reviewed this plat is the ordinance requirement for front yard trees. The
ordinance currently requires trees be planted at intervals of sixty (60) feet
along the frontage of all lots within the subdivision. Staff has recommended
a slight modification to this. Rather than one for every sixty (60) lineal feet,
one front yard tree be provided for every single family lot. Please see the
attached report to the Planning Commission for additional information.
PARK AND RECREATION COMMISSION
e
The Park and Recreation Commission approved the preliminary plat as
presented with the seven (7) acres of park land along the north edge of the
plat. In addition, the Park and Recreation Commission indicated that three
(3) acres of land south of County Road No. 30 would still be required as part
of the future subdivision. Therefore, the Park and Recreation Commission
agreed that the seven (7) acres included in Country Crossings plat and three
(3) acres of land off of County Road No. 30 would satisfy the park dedication
requirements for one-hundred, twenty (120) acres of single family residential
development.
PLANNING COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION
The Planning Commission recommended approval of the revised preliminary
plat for Country Ridge Partnership as presented as per the conditions stated
in the staff report. The Planning Commission also indicated that they
appreciated the developers cooperation and felt that this seven (7) acres of
park land will be a nice amenity for the area.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION

Partnership be approved with the following conditions:

MEMORANDUM
TO: PLANNING COMMISSION
FROM: STEVEN B. ACH, CITY PLANNER /s:d2--
DATE:
APRIL 14, 1994
SUBJECT: REQUEST FOR PRELIMINARY PLAT
APPROVAL BY COUNTRY RIDGE
PARTNERSHIP. PUBLIC HEARING
CASE P94-2
ISSUE
Consider request for preliminary plat by Country Ridge Partnership to
subdivide approximately 40 acres into 73 single family lots.
LOCATION
NE corner of the extension of Joplin Street on County Road 30.
e ATTACHMENTS
Revised preliminary plat. Unapproved minutes from the March 21 City
Council meeting. Unapproved minutes from the February 22 Planning
Commission meeting. Report to the Planning Commission dated February
22, 1994. Memorandum to the Park and Recreation Commission dated
March 31, 1994.
BACKGROUND
e
The Planning Commission originally recommended approval of this
preliminary plat as it was presented which consisted of 97 lots throughout
the entire 40 acre parcel. However, at the City Council meeting Park and
Rec Commission Chairman. Dave Anderson, offered some comments
regarding the number of trees that existed along the north end of the project
and expressed an interest to save these trees. One option expressed by Mr.
Anderson was to have approximately the northerly seven acres dedicated as
park to assure complete protection of the large stand of trees. The other
option would be to increase the lot sizes considerably to enhance the
preservation of the trees. The City Council directed staff to meet with the
developers and present a revised plat to the Park Commission for their
consideration as well as bringing the plat back to the Planning Commission.

Therefore, before the Planning Commission this evening is a revised
preliminary plat of Country Crossings which includes the requested park
dedication of approximately 7 acres along the north edge of the property and
a reduction in number of lots from 97 down to 73.
e
ANALYSIS
For the most part, the design of the plat is consistent with what was
previously presented to the Planning Commission on February 22. Basically
24 lots have been deleted from the plat and the internal streets have been
shortened to accommodate the 7 acre park along the north edge of the plat.
The following are some of the changes that were made as part of the revised
plat:
· The road accessing the plat from Orono Parkway has been aligned in a
manner that will reduce the number of trees lost during construction.
· The plat no longer includes trail corridors at the NE and NW corners of
the plat.
· 182nd Avenue off of Joplin Street has been shifted 100 feet to the south as
a result of lots being adjusted.
The revised plat presents no new issues that were not covered in the original
staff report to the Planning Commission. However, there is one adjustment
that will need to made to the plat which relates to all corner lots. The zoning
ordinance requires all corner lots to be increased by 20 feet; therefore, all
corner lots will need to be 100 feet in width.
e
YARD TREE REQUIREMENTS
Upon further review of the City's subdivision ordinance, it was discovered
that front yard trees are required as part of all subdivisions. To the best of
my knowledge, this standard has not been implemented in other
subdivisions. This standard specifically requires one 2" caliper tree to be
provided every 60 feet throughout the plat.
Beginning with the Country Crossings plat, all further plats will be required
to provide a front yard tree. However, it is recommended the 60 foot interval
be amended to read each lot provide a front yard tree. Staff would like to
bring back to the Planning Commission an ordinance amending this section.

MEMORANDUM
TO: PARKANDRECREA~
COMMISSION V'?jT
FROM: PATRICK KLAERS,
CITY ADMINISTRATOR
DATE:
MARCH 31, 1994
SUBJECT: SPECIAL MEETING
A special meeting of the Park and Recreation Commission has been called by
Chair Anderson for 7:00 p.m., V\Tednesday, April 6, 1994. The sole purpose of
this meeting is to evaluate a revised Park Dedication proposal that is
associated with the Country Ridge plat. As you may know, Chair Dave
Anderson offered some comments to the City Council when the Country
Ridge preliminary plat was before them. The comments from Dave related to
the environmental value of the approximately 7 acre oak tree area in the
north part of this plat (directly south of the proposed Orono Parkway, which
runs along the southern boundary of the County Fairground property).
The Commission has reviewed this plat a number of times as it relates to the
proposed trail. The developers control approximately 160 acres of property
that was formerly owned by the Lakoduk family. Approximately 120 acres of
this property is planned for residential development. During a concept
review of the entire residential development area, some park land was
designated along Joplin Avenue south of County Road 30. The remaining
park dedication requirements were going to be fulfilled through cash
payments.
A meeting has been held with the developers, and a revised proposal has
been presented. This revised plat proposal calls for the northern boundary of
the plat to be very close to the southern boundary of this tree area. The
developers are also proposing to dedicate approximately 7 acres of this tree
area as "park land" in order to meet their park dedication requirements for
the entire 120 acres of residential land. As a City and a Park and Recreation
Commission, I believe we must also insist on a 3 acre park south of C.R. 30 in
order to have the developer meet our park dedication requirements for the
120 acres. Approximately 10 acres of park land for 120 acres of residential
property is slightly less than our general rule of 10%. The developer would
still have a road coming through this tree area to access the plat, and the

Special Meeting

--
------------------------------
developer would still be obligated to pay approximately 20% of the cost of
Orono Parkway. Essentially, in order to save the trees, the developer has
offered this property to the City in order to meet their park dedication
requirements.
The issue before the Park and Recreation Commission is whether or not this
park dedication proposal meets with its goals and objectives for park land in
this part of the community. The developer believes that the only way to
realistically save most of the trees in this area is to simply not develop in this
7 acre area. The developer believes that if they try to create lots among the
trees that, unfortunately, most of the trees will be lost.

PLANNING COMMISSION
STEVEN B. ACH, CITY PLANNERfid...,
FEBRUARY 22,1994
SUBJECT: REQUEST FOR PRELIMINARY PLAT
BY COUNTRY RIDGE PARTNERSHIP,
PUBLIC HEARING, CASE NO. P 94-2
FROM:
TO:
DATE:
REQUESTED ACTION
Country Ridge Partnership is requesting preliminary plat approval to
subdivide approximately 40 acres into 98 single family lots.
LOCATION
e
Northeast corner of future extension of Joplin Street and County Road No.
30.
ATTACHMENTS
Location Map, Zoning Map, Preliminary Plat, Utility Plan, Grading Plan,
Concept Plan of Entire Property, Memo from Park & Recreation Commission
ZONING STANDARDS
The property is zoned R-1C (Single Family Residential) which requires a
minimum 10,000 square foot lot with 80 feet of frontage at the setback line.
As presented, the plat meets these minimum standards.
EXISTING CONDITIONS
The 40 acre parcel is bounded by County Road No. 30 on the south, existing
single family on the east, County Fairgrounds to the north, and the Lakoduc
homestead on the west. The parcels northerly one-third is wooded, while the
southerly two-thirds of the site is open field.

PLAT REVIEW
The plats design is a straight forward grid system with three access points,
one off Orono Parkway, Joplin Street, and County Road No. 30. Staff is
recommending the access on to County Road No. 30 be removed to reduce the
number of turning movements on to the County road. This was also
recommended by the County Engineer upon his review of the plat.
As mentioned, all the lots meet the minimum standards, however, Lot 1,
Block 6, is a lot which will be difficult to locate a house and will restrict
expansion (i.e., deck, porch) opportunities without requesting a variance.
Therefore, it is recommended the lot be eliminated and the difference be
added to the other lots within Block 6.
ROADWAY IMPROVEMENTS
To facilitate the development of this plat, two roadway projects external to
the plat will need to occur. First, Joplin Street will need to be extended north
from County Road No. 30 to Highway 10. This road is not expected to be a
parkway design rather a typical collector with sidewalks. The second is the
westward extension of Orono Parkway connecting with Joplin Street. Staff
expects the design of Orono Parkway to be a continuation of the parkway
design that is presently in place to Joplin Street. However, west of Joplin it
is anticipated that a typical residential road would be constructed to serve
the new residential area as well as Sandpiper Estates.
e
GRADING/UTILITY PLAN
Terry Maurer is reviewing a preliminary grading and utility plan for the
proposed plat. This information was received rather late, therefore, Terry's
memo will be added to the Planning Commission report or be distributed at
Tuesday night's meeting.
TREE PRESERVATION
The north end of the plat has a large mass of significant trees. It is
recommended that the developer and builders make every effort to protect
and preserve as many trees as possible during construction. Appropriate
fencing should be utilized during construction to assure tree protection.

e PERIMETERILANDSCAPING
To assist in buffering the homes that back up to County Road No. 30 and
Joplin Street, it is recommended berming and landscaping be provided. The
berm should be natural in appearance and have landscaping material
incorporated (such as conifers) that provide a year-round screen. A plan
should be submitted by the developer for staff review prior to the City
Council meeting.
MAILBOXES
A typical condition in residential developments is to ask for cluster mailbox
designs. In addition, to improve design continuity within the subdivision, a
uniform mailbox design should be used throughout the plat. A plan
identifying location of mailboxes and a detail illustrating the style of
mailboxes should be provided to the City prior to releasing of the final plat
for recording. It
ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT WORKSHEET
e
This plat, in and of itself, does not require an Environmental Assessment
Worksheet (EAW). However, the developer owns additional land adjacent to
this plat which exceeds the threshold for a mandatory EAW. Therefore, an
EA W is in the process of being prepared for distribution to the appropriate
agencies and review by the City Council. This process will need to be
completed prior to receiving final plat approval by the Council.
PARK COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION
Attached is a memo from Phil Hals outlining the Park Commission's
recommendation for park and recreational needs for this plat.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends the Planning Commission recommend approval of the
preliminary plat request by Country Ridge Partnership with the following
conditions:
1.
A PLAN BE SUBMITTED TO THE CITY IDENTIFYING THE
LOCATION OF ALL MAILBOXES AND A DETAIL ILLUSTRATING
THE UNIFORM MAILBOX DESIGN THAT WILL BE USED
THROUGHOUT THE PLAT.

The location of the plat is the northeast corner of the extension of Joplin Street
and County Road No. 30. Steve Ach indicated that all the lots meet the minimum
lot size requirements for R 1 a zoning standards, however, the configuration and
minimum depth of some lots originally proposed have limitations for constructing
homes. The plat has been revised to meet these situations. Steve Ach reviewed
the changes.

a trail system within the plat and the extension of Joplin between County Road 30
and Highway 10.
Steve Ach indicated that the Planning Commission recommended approval of
the preliminary plat.

mailbox requirement in the plat and the concern of the trails affecting the back
yards of those along Joplin Street.
Dave Anderson, Park and Recreation Commission Chair, indicated that the trail
was originally intended to be a direct connection from the Heritage Landing plat.
After talking to residents, a new plan was drafted by staff which runs the trail west
along Mississippi Road, east of Joplin. He also expressed his concern that there
may not be enough room for the trail between the road and the power poles.
He indicated that this is a very important link to the trail system.
Dave Anderson, 14845 County Road 30, stated that he would like to see the
developer and the city work together to develop a plat that would incorporate
some very old trees that are located on the north one-quarter of the plat. Dave

150 oak trees. He indicated that the significance vf the site was overlooked by
staff and by the Park ~:md Recreation and Planning Commissions. He also
indicated his concern regarding the minimum lot sizes.

indicated that Country Ridge Partnership is also in favor in preserving trees, and
suggested preserving the trees on Outlots A and B.

lane and Hudson Street. He stated that this may be confusing during emergency
responses. He also spoke to the issue of tree preservation. He stated that

request the trees be saved. He questioned how the developer could deal with
this issue at this point in time without spending a large amount of money.

for tree preservation.

Consider A Reauest For Preliminary Plat by Country Ridae Partnershio, Public
Hearina, Case No. P 94-02
Staff report presented by Steve Ach. The applicant requested preliminary plat
approval to subdivide approximately 40 acres into 98 single family lots.
Tony Emmerich. applicant. asked if the park trail could be in front of the yards, not
on the back side. Mr. Emmerich stated that it is hard to seli lots with trails in the
rear yards and had concerns relative to security and privacy of property owners
next to the trail.
Dave Anderson. Chairman of the Park and Recreation Board. reviewed the
options presented to the Park and Recreation Board and explained why this
option was chosen.
e
Mr. Emmerich requested if the trail is constructed within rear yards that he be
given a credit to erect a privacy fence between the trail and the homes. Further,
he stated he did not intend to comply with two requirements in staff's memo,
condition #7 and # 14. Commissioner Kreger questioned Mr. Emmerich as to why
he would not comply. Mr. Emmerich replied that he would not initiate public
improvements for the Joplin Street extension and pay the entire cost of extending
Joplin Street to Highway 10. Also, the building that must be removed is Mrs.
Lakoduc's home and he would not inconvenience Mrs. Lakoduc. Steve Ach
responded that condition #7 could be re-worded so the developer would not
have to petition the City for public improvements, however Mr. Emmerich would
be responsible for a portion of the improvement. Mr. Ach also stated that platting
Joplin Street with a building in the right of way would present problems for
construction of Joplin. However, he would have to check with the City Attorney
if these are options for moving the building from the right of way.
Chairman Tveite opened the public hearing.
Sue Hecker, 13196 Mississippi Road. E.R.. stated her concerns regarding the park
trail. She is not in favor of the trail being behind the homes due to lack of privacy
and questionable security. '\.
Steve Ach briefly reviewed the trail system for this area and suggested the Park
and Recreation Board consider wider "corridors" for trails through residential
areas to avoid potential problems of infringing upon resident's privacy. Dave
Anderson responded. Discussion ensued between the Commissioners, staff. and
Mr. Anderson.
e
Maria Darikson, 18210 Fresno Street, questioned what type of construction will be
taking place to build these trails - will there be construction on Fresno? Terry
Maurer and Dave Anderson responded.
