CITY OF ELK RIVER
A RESOLUTION DENYING PRELIMINARY PLAT REQUEST P 00-18,
HILLSIDE ESTATES 8TM ADDITION, AND ESTABLISHING
FINDINGS OF FACT THEREFOR
WHEREAS,
application was made on October 30, 2000 by Phoenix Enterprises for
Preliminary plat approval of Hillside Estates 8th Addition, pursuant
to Section 1008.08.1.C of the Elk River City Code of Ordinances, for
the property legally described on Exhibit A attached hereto; and
WHEREAS, the application for preliminary plat approval (The Application) was
referred to the Planning Commission; and
WHEREAS,
the Planning Commission conducted public hearings on the
Application, after proper publication and due notice thereof as
required by ordinance and statute, on November 9, 2000, November
16, 2000 and December 27, 2000; and
WHEREAS, the Application was referred to the City Council by the Planning
Commission on December 27, 2000; and
WHEREAS, the City Council conducted a public hearing on the Application on
January 16, 2001; and
WHEREAS,
the City Council, following completion of the public hearing,
deliberated the Application and continued the matter to its regularly
scheduled meeting of January 22, 2001; and
WHEREAS,
at its regularly scheduled meeting of January 22, 2001 the City
Council continued its discussion of the Application and made the
following findings of fact with respect to the Application:
1. The physical characteristics of the site are not suitable for the
density of development proposed as evidenced by the need to fill
wetlands, construct numerous retaining walls and remove virtually
the entire oak forest on the site to develop the subdivision.
2. The proposed subdivision will create substantial environmental
damage including the filling of wet lands, the leveling of a hilly and
wooded piece of property and the removal of almost the entire oak
forest on the site.
3. The proposed subdivision will have an undue and adverse
impact on neighboring land due to the proposed density and amount
of traffic which will be generated.
4. The proposed subdivision is premature due to a lack of adequate
off-site road improvements to handle the increased traffic generated
by the subdivision. In particular, the intersection at 193rd and Evans
is inadequate to handle the increased traffic generated by the
subdivision and needs to be studied and/or improved prior to
development of such a dense project.
5. The proposed subdivision is not consistent with the Elk River
Code of Ordinances in that it will create a potentially unsafe
situation with respect to the traffic impacts it will generate and the
proposed location of the public park.
6. The proposed subdivision fails to establish an adequate 50-foot
buffer along the West side of the subdivision adjacent to the
commercial area to the West as committed to by the developer during
the approval of the commercial development to the West and
required by prior approvals granted by the City Council.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the City Council of the City of Elk
River, based on the findings of fact set forth above, hereby denies preliminary plat
approval of the proposed Hillside Estates 8th Addition.
Passed and adopted by the City Council of the City of Elk River this 22na day of
January, 2001.

Overview:
The preliminary plat dated December 20, 2000, is for a 104 lot single-family residential
subdivision on 62.74 acres in the Rle zoning district. Hillside Estates Eighth Addition is
the last section of Hillside Estates to be developed. Hillside Estates encompasses about
190 acres and began developing in 1994. The proposed subdivision includes a 4.27 acre
(Outlot D) Park with trails in the adjacent power line corridor (Outlots B and C). Together
the park and trail/utility corridor encompass 13.43 acres. Credit for park dedication will
be adjusted to reflect the amount of utility corridors, wetlands and steep slopes
encumbering the property.
Analysis:
Existing Conditions
The site is located in the woods behind Menards, south of 197th Avenue and north of
Hillside Estates 1st Addition. The site consists of rolling hills and mature Oak woods and
several wetlands as has been typical in previous Hillside Estates developments.
Crossing the site are two power line easements, a 240 foot wide Northern States Power
power line easement and a smaller 60 foot wide United Power Association power line
easement. Within the woods, staff found numerous ATV/pedestrian trails that connect
the Hillside 5th and 2nd Additions to the commercial area along Highway 169.
Phasinq
No phasing of the development has been indicated, however, the developer has stated
that the first phase would include connecting Dodge Street to 196th Lane near Menards.
This is being done to to encourage the new traffic to drive west rather than using Auburn
Street.
Lot Configuration/Lot Averaging
All the proposed lots meet or exceed the dimensional requirements of the Rle zoning
district including the 12,000 SF minimum lot area requirement. The lots range in size
from 12,000 SF to 46,000 SF, with the average lot size being 16,812 SF. The average
lot size of the other phases of Hillside Estates are as follows:
Hillside Estates 1st
Hillside Estates 4th
Hillside Estates 9t~
18,000 SF
13,500 SF
20,700 SF
The areas that these phases include are shown on the attached map.
Wetland Conservation Act
The developer has shown areas of fill and wetland mitigation, which will require a
Technical Panel review and approval as required by the Wetland Conservation Act. As
proposed, each of the four wetlands in the development will be partially filled to
s:\planningXscott\pO018cc.doc
Memo to Mayor and City Council/P 00-18
January 16, 2000
Page 3
accommodate lots or grading. Lot 11, Block 5 and Lot 15, Block 2 require filling of
wetlands.
Gradinq, Drainage and Erosion Control
(See the Attached Howard R. Green Memorandum).
Utilities
(See the Attached Howard R. Green Memorandum).
Tree Preservation
Most of the existing woods will be removed with construction in order to accommodate
the required grading. All trees shown as preserved shall be protected prior to clearing or
site grading by fencing the drip line of protected trees and the limit of grading with a
snow fence to prevent unnecessary grading, compaction, or storage of debris or
equipment.
50~Foot No Cut Zone
A condition of the Hillside Crossings commercial development conditional use permit
stipulated that a 50-foot buffer was to be maintained between the commercial area and
future residential development. This buffer area is presently shown inclusive of the
required back yard area. No additional buffer area has been provided behind Menards.
Landscaping
The Landscape and Tree Preservation Plan conforms to City requirements. No
landscaping has been proposed for the park area; however, staff has prepared a
landscape plan for the park with conifers and shrub plantings along the back yards of
existing residential lots. (See attached Exhibit C, Hillside Estates Park and Trail Plan).
Development Siqns
No development signs have been indicated.
Roads
The preliminary plat now shows a reconfigured road layout that more closely resembles
an early concept plan for the area. Dodge Street will extend north from its present
location to a T intersection with a three way stop. This has been done in response to
comments regarding cut-through traffic on Dodge heard during the November 28th public
hearing.
Dodge Street is currently an 863 foot long temporary dead-end. There has been a great
deal of discussion regarding creating a permanent cul de sac on Dodge Street, similar to
what has been proposed for Auburn StreeL The maximum length for a cul de sac is 700
feet, the current street already exceeds the maximum length, adding additional length for
a cul de sac will only increase the non-conformity. Chief of Police Zerwas has indicated
s:\planning\scott\pO018cc.doc
Memo to Mayor and City Council/P 00-18
January 16, 2000
Page 4
in his attached memo that there are also public safety concerns regarding turning Dodge
Street into a cul de sac.
Dodge Street and 196th Lane will provide the only ingress and egress to and from the
plat. 196th Lane is presently constructed to the east property line adjacent to Menards.
There will be six new cul-de-sacs, in part due to the rolling terrain and wetlands. Snow
storage easements will be required in each cul-de-sac as has been required in other
developments.
Sidewalks
Sidewalks will be constructed along the north side of 195th Ave, the east side of Dodge
St. and on the north side of 196th Lane to provide a pedestrian circulation loop that
connects the park to the commercial area along Highway 169. The Commission and
some of the public had requested that a sidewalk be added along Dodge Street to 193rd.
Parks and Trails
The proposed Park, Outlot D, is 4.27 acres in size of which about half is wetland, utility
easement or steep slope. A 60-foot wide powerline easement crosses the Park in a
north-south direction and a watermain easement crosses the park in an east-west
direction. A play structure, tennis court and basketball court are proposed amenities for
the park. Staff has provided a landscape plan that identifies screening of the backyard
of existing homes.
Outlots B and C, the 240 feet wide Northern States Power power line corridor combined
are 9.16 acres in size and will be used as a trail corridor linking the Hillside 5th Addition
Park, the new Hillside 8th Addition Park to 195th Circle and 196th Lane. The trail will be a
10 foot bituminous trail with a gradient of 8%, which will require grading in the utility
corridor. Outlot B is too steep for a bituminous trail, but may include a woodchip trail at a
later date if the Park and Recreation Commission determines that the amount of foot
traffic warrants one. To construct a woodchip trail, an easement will be required across
the commercial lot west of the plat. Together, the park and trail/utility corridor
encompass 13.43 acres and have adequate road frontage and enough fiat area for the
proposed amenities. The attached Exhibit B, Hillside Park and Trail Plan, shows the
trail and park connections and proposed landscaping of the proposed Hillside 8~h Park.
Park and Recreation Commission
The Park and Recreation Commission recommended that the Planning Commission and
Council accept the Park for park dedication, excluding the power corridor, steep slopes
and wetland from full dedication credit as required by the Subdivision Ordinance. Also,
that the remaining Park Dedication requirements be accepted as a cash dedication in
lieu of land. The developer will install the trail as part of the public improvements and
will be reimbursed from the trail fund as required by City Ordinance.
The Park and Recreation Commission recommended the proposed location for park for
Hillside Estates 8th because it was centrally located and would better serve the residents
of the entire Hillside Estates development, it is in a relatively level area, and would not
require the removal of any trees in order to install improvements. There have been
several comments about placing the park behind Menards. The placement of the park
s:\planning\scottXpO018cc.doc
Memo to Mayor and City Council/P 00-18
January 16, 2000
Page 5
behind Menards might serve as a buffer between Menards and the immediate
neighbors, but it would require the removal a substantial number of trees, is not centrally
located in the Hillside Estates development and would require significant grading.
The Park and Recreation Commission will be reconsidering the use of Hillside Estates
5th Addition Park in consideration of the amenities being proposed in the Hillside Estates
8th Park.
Planninq Commission Meetinqs
On November 28, 2000, the Planning Commission held a public hearing for the
preliminary plat of Hillside Estates Eighth Addition. At that time, the Commission
continued the public hearing to December 12, 2000 because of insufficient information
for review and of unresolved issues.
On December 12, 2000, the public hearing was again held. The public hearing was
again continued to the December 27th meeting because of unresolved issues and
because there was little time to review the submittal.
On December 12, the issues raised by staff, the Commission and the public include:
1. Excessive retaining wall heights.
2. Concerns regarding traffic on Dodge Street and 193rdAvenue.
3. Buffering between the residential and commercial districts.
4. Trails along back yards.
5. The park being located too close to the powerlines and that it should not be
placed behind the existing homes on Auburn.
6. Dodge Street as a cut-through road.
7. Concerns over loss of existing trees.
8. Concerns about the small size of lots.
9. The need for sidewalks along Dodge Street to 193rd Avenue.
At the December 27th meeting the applicant had submitted revised plans. The revisions
included eliminating a large retaining wall. Public comments at this meeting were, for the
most part, the same as those heard at the December 12th meeting. The main concerns
were increased traffic on Dodge Street and the need to turn the existing Dodge Street
into a cul de sac, the need for sidewalks on Dodge Street and the increase in traffic at
the intersection of 193rd Avenue and Evans Street. Issues raised by the Planning
Commission include:
1. The depth of the lots on Dodge Street behind Menards.
2. The large number of retaining walls.
3. Concern about Lot 11, Block 5 and Lot 15, Block 2 because of the excessive
grading and wetland fill and whether they are suitable building sites. The
Commission recommended eliminating these two lots.
4. Buffering between the residential and commercial districts.
5. Concerns about the small size of lots.
6. Need for additional sidewalks, especially along Dodge Avenue.
7. Additional tree replacement.

Memo to Mayor and City Council/P 00-18
January 16, 2000
Page 6
Since traffic on Dodge Street seemed to be the main concern raised by residents at the
3 public hearings, staff would like to provide the following background information:
In 1994 the City granted final plat approval to Hillside Estates 1st Addition.
Included as part of that plat was the construction of Dodge Street to its current
terminus. Dodge Street was platted up to the northern boundary of the plat; it
was always intended to be extended through to the north. The current length of
Dodge Street is 863 feet. A cul de sac would probably extend the length by at
about 150 for a total length of 1013 feet. The maximum length allowed for a cul
de sac is 700 feet. Furthermore, if Dodge Street was converted to a cul de sac,
Auburn Street would be the only north-south connection in the entire Hillside
Estates development.

representing the developer, stated the home would be removed. Terry Maurer
explained that an agreement was made with MnDOT some years back that the
Specht access onto Highway 169 would be closed if and when the Specht
property was no longer used as a residence. Mr. Meyer questioned if a fence
would be placed around Menards like the one behind Sax. Steve Ach
explained that a fence is proposed to extend north of Sax along the property
limits and along the Menards property limits. Mr. Meyer stated he felt the speed
limit should be changed on Highway 169 along the commercial area.
There being no further comments from the public, Chair Dillon closed the public
hearing.
Land Use Amendment, Public Hearinq Case No. LU 96-1
Steve Ach explained there are voids in the commercial area which are
intended for residential, and also, residential areas which are intended for
commercial. He explained the land use amendment is more of a
"housekeeping" item to make the land uses consistent with the proposed
zoning.
Commissioner Minton asked if a 50 foot forested buffer would be maintained, as
there was left behind Sax Foods. Rick Foster, developer of the project, stated
they will carry on with what was done in the first addition, which was a 50 foot
"no cut" strip.
COMMISSIONER MINTON MOVED THE PLANNING COMMISSION RECOMMEND
APPROVAL OF THE REQUEST BY PHOENIX ENTERPRISES FOR A LAND USE
AMENDMENT FOR THE SPECIFIED HB (HIGHWAY BUSINESS) AREAS TO MR (MEDIUM
DENSITY RESIDENTIAL), AND FOR THE SPECIFIED AREAS THAT ARE MR TO HB.
COMMISSIONER THOMPSON SECONDED THE MOTION. THE MOTION CARRIED 4-0.
Zone Chan.qe to PUD, Public Hearin.q Case No. ZC 96-11
Chair Dillon stated he felt the signage should be consistent with the other PUD
developments. Also, he expressed concern for the large number of trees
proposed to be cut. He stated he would rather that excess dirt be hauled away
rather than having to disturb the trees in order to equalize it. He suggested that
a stand of trees be left along the entire northern stretch of the property. Also,
Chair Dillon asked if the proposed shared driveway could be located on the
right-of-way, so as not to take away from the residents' property.
Discussion followed regarding the number of parking stalls for Menards. Man/
Prochaska, representing Menards, stated 388 parking stalls are proposed. It was
the consensus of the Planning Commission that the number of parking stalls be
increased.
Commissioner Minton expressed his concern that the trees not be cut down and
left in the same manner as was done in Hillside Crossing I. Rick Foster,
developer, stated the reason he cut the trees down long before the site was
developed was so that residential area would be aware the property was to be
commercial. Marly Glines explained the areas where trees were proposed to be
left. He stated that a commercial user would not want trees left between his site

A DESIGN BE WORKED OUT BETWEEN THE CITY ENGINEER, THE DEVELOPER
AND THE TWO HOMEOWNERS DIRECTLY TO THE NORTH, TO ALLOW MORE
DIRECT ACCESS 1'O THEIR HOMES. COSTS ASSOCIATED WITH THESE
IMPROVEMENTS SHALL BE THE RESPONSIBILITY OF THE DEVELOPER.
INCOMPLETION OF THIS REQUIREMENT WILL NOT DELAY THE RECORDING OF
THIS PLAT.
MAINTAIN A NO CUT ZONE ALONG THE NORTH 50 FEET OF OUTLOT B. IN
ADDITION, A NO CUT ZONE SHOULD BE ESTABLISHED BEYOND THE EASTERN
EDGE OF THE PLAT FOR A DISTANCE OF 50'.
THAT 50% OF THE CITY'S SHARE OF THE SIGNALIZATION COSTS BE PAID BY
THE DEVELOPER.
