The 71-acre site is currently farmed and contains no structures. The property is
located south of the newly platted Windsor Park clustered subdivision and is on
the west side of County Road 1 at the 209th Street alignment. The topography of
the site is varied the northern end and central portion of the site being relatively
fiat and a 30 foot hill in the southern ¼ of the site. The northern and southern
portions of the site are wooded with the central portion of the site an open farm
field. There is also a small wetland located in the southeast corner of the site.
Surroundinq land Uses.
The land uses around the proposed subdivision include: Windsor Park, a 31 lot
clustered residential subdivision to the north, 2.5 acre single family residential to
the east across County Road I and on the northeast boundary of the site and the
St. Louis Park Gun Club to the south and west.
Densiti/
Cluster subdivisions are allowed in the Rla zoning district if at least 50% of the
open space is permanently protected and if the septic system is clustered. The
base density of a cluster plat is based on the underlying zoning district density.
With 71.37 acres, the equation would be: (71.37 / 2.5 = 28.54 lots). An
automatic density bonus of 15% is given as an incentive to cluster and cover
some of the costs for the clustered septic system (28.54 x .15 = 4.28 lots). With
the septic system density bonus the developer can is allowed 33 lots (28.54 +
4.28 = 32.82, or 33 lots).
Addtional Density Bonuses
Additional density bonuses can be achieved by meeting several standards, worth
5% bonus each, up to a 40% maximum bonus above the base density of 28.54
lots. In this case the developer has achieved the following additional bonuses:
10% extra open space 1.43
Creating an endowment for the open space, 1.43
Providing access by the general public to the trails 1.43
Providing covenants to create an architectural theme 1.43
5.72 Total bonus lots
Based on staff's Calculations the developer is allowed 39 lots for this project
(32.82 + 5.72 = 38.54, or 39 lots).
The developer is claiming an additional 5% bonus for the following standard:
S:~P LAN NIN G\SCO'I-ISP0013CC.DOC
Memo to Mayor and City Council/P00-13
October 16, 2000
Page 3
Re,using existing buildings and structures or preserving specific site
features inventoried by the County, City, or State Historic Preservation
Office.
The developer is claiming that by preserving trees they are meeting the above
standard. Staff does not agree with this interpretation. The City, County or State
Historic Preservation Office has identified nothing on this site as having historic
preservation value. The City has not identified the tract of woods as a
preservation landscape feature. The preservation of woodlands and other natural
features is listed as a lot design guideline and should not be included as a
density bonus.
Layout
Streets
The main access into the project is from County Road 1. The main entrance into
the development from County Road 1 is 209th Avenue. The intersection of 209th
Avenue and Lander Street will be a traffic circle with a 15,000 square foot
landscaped island. Traffic circulation should be one-way around the traffic circle.
Internal connections will be made to the properties to the west and Windsor Park
to the north. Lander Street will be extended south into the plat from Windsor Park
and will be the main north/south street through the development. 210th Avenue
will be extended into the plat from the west and will connect with Lander Street.
The plat includes $ cul de sacs; each cul de sac will include a center landscaped
island. All landscaped islands will be maintained homeowners association.
Lots
The developer is proposing 40 lots. The lots will range in size from 18,000 square
feet to 29,000 square feet. The average lot size is 20,000 square feet. All of the
lots, except for 2 lots on cul de sacs, have more than 90 feet of frontage. The two
lots in the cul de sacs have lot frontages of 78 feet and 79 feet. The plat is
designed in such a way that there is an opening to the open space at the end of
each cul de sac. AboUt % of the lots have direct access to the open space. Outlot
A and Outlot B comprise most of the open space, Outlot C is the landscaped
center of the traffic circle. Outlot A will contain the community septic system, a
natural wetland feature.
Lander Court was artificially raised above the surrounding grade in order to
accommodate walk out lots. The building elevations on those lots are raised
about 7 feet above the surrounding grade. In response to staff's comments, the
elevations have been reduced by about 1 foot from previous plans. The
developer has added some landscaping to help reduce the visual impact.
S:~PLANNING\SCOTT~P0013CC.DOC
Memo to Mayor and City Council/P~,,~-13
October 16, 2000
Page 4
Access to the lots with frontage on the traffic circle will be limited to the streets
feeding the circle, they will not have access directly from the traffic circle.
Open Space
Outlots A, B and C are proposed as open space. Outlot C is the landscaped
island in the center of the traffic circle. The open space, with the exception of
Outlot C, is located in the front of the property between the lots and County Road
1 and is bisected by 209th Avenue. The open space is a mix of woods and fields.
Outlot A, located north of 209th Avenue, is open fields. Outlot B, located south of
209th Avenue, is about 2/3 woods and 1/3 fields.
Outlot A is 17.93 acres and will serve as the location for clustered septic system.
The septic system covers about 3.3 acres leaving about 14.6 acres available for
active use. This outlot is fairly fiat with a small depression in the north corner
adjacent to 211th Circle.
Outlot B is 25.65 acres, about 2/3 woods and has a large wooded hill at the
southern end. A trail is proposed to connect the top of the hill with Lander Street.
The open field is fairly level and will include the drainage pond for the
development. Outlot B abuts the gun club property so that it may be possible in
to provide a connection between the two properties in the future. A future play
area is indicated to the rear of Lot 4, Block 1 and south of 209th Avenue. No
details of the Play area have been provided.
Gradinq and Drainaqe
Grading and drainage issues are addressed in the City Engineer's memo. No
drainage and utility easements are shown on the lots. Appropriate easements will
have to be included on the plat.
Landscaping
The landscape plan exceeds what is typically required for residential
subdivisions. The developer is proposing a heavily landscaped entrance from
County Road 1. The landSCaping along 209th includes maples, ashes and
lindens, and a landscaped median. Landscaping along the other streets includes
2 or 3 trees planted at each property line. The center of the traffic circle is
landscaped and includes a brick path and a gazebo. The islands in the cul de
sacs are also landscaped. Maintenance of the median, traffic circle, the cul de
sac islands and the other outlots will be the responsibility of the homeowners
association and will be included in the homeowners association agreement.
The developer has indicated that they will include prairie planting in the open
space as well as preserving the woods. A prairie restoration plan and
S:\PLANNING\SCOTT~P0013CC,DOC
Memo to Mayor and City Council'/P00-13
October 16, 2000
Page 5
maintenance plan will have to be provided as will a maintenance plan for the
woodlands
Well and Septic
Each lot will have its own well and will be connected to the community septic
system. The community septic system will require extensive piping similar to
those required for public sewer systems. Each lot will contain a septic tank and a
pump that will be connected to a natural wetland system located on Outlot A. The
homeowners association will be responsible for contracting with a maintenance
company to monitor and provided on-going maintenance of the system.
Park Dedication and Trails
There are no parks identified for this site. Park dedication fee will be 'determined
on the base number of lots allowed on the 71.37 acre parcel (71.37 / 2.5 = 28.54
or 29 lots).
A system of trails and sidewalks are proposed to connect Windsor Park to a
possible recreation area or interpretive center on the gun club land. A bituminous
trail is proposed along County Road 1. It will connect with the trail system in
Windsor Park to the north and continuing to the gun club property at the south
boundary of the plat. The trail runs north to south in the outlots and along County
Road 1; however, the trail jogs west along 209th and crosses mid-block. Staff
feels a more appropriate crossing would be at the entrance of the development,
at the intersection of 209th Avenue and County Road1. The developer will
construct the trail from the connection with Windsor Park to 209th Avenue. The
portion through Outlot B will be constructed at by the city at a later'date, when
the future status of the gun club property has been determined. All public trails
will have to be 10' wide and included in a trail easement granted to the city.
Woodchip trails are proposed at the end of Lander Street and 211th Circle. The
trail at the end of Lander Street will lead to an open area at the top of the hill
located on Outlot B. The trail at 211th Circle will connect the cul de sac with the
bituminous trail along County Road 1. Concrete sidewalks are proposed along all
of the streets. They will connect with the woodchip trails at the end of 211th Circle
and the end of Lander Street and with the bituminous trail.
Planninq Commission Meetinq
At the Planning Commission meeting held on September 26th several residents
spoke. Two residents, Deb Myers and Roger Whiteoak, who live on County Road
1 across the street from this project, spoke out against the project. They offered
the following comments:
S:\PLANNING\SCO']-T~P0013CC.DOC
Memo to Mayor and City Council/Pb...l:l 3
October 16, 2000
Page 6
· the school district couldn't handle the additional students this project
would bring in;
· County Road 1 could not handle the additional traffic;
· the proposed septic system would contaminate their well;
· it was dangerous having residences adjacent to the gun club property.
George Zabee, representing the gun club, offered the following comments:
· he liked the buffer adjacent to the gun club property;
· he would like to see information provided to potential buyers alerting them
to the gun club;
· would like to see a chain link fence installed along the common property
lines.
Kate Ige, resident on 210th Street, questioned why 210th was connected to this
plat. Burt Adkinson, representing the gun club, spoke to the gun club's history of
working with adjacent property owners.
Dynamics Design and Land Co. the developer of Windsor Park, the clustered
subdivision north of this plat, has submitted a letter and suggested modifications
to this plat that would include a 50 foot buffer between Windsor Park and the
abutting lots in this plat. Staff does not support narrow corridors because they.
tend to get incorporated as part of peoples lots, take away from usable open
space and provide less desirable open space.
The Planning Commission discussed at length the issue of safety and the gun
club. They felt that a chain link fence, since it would only be installed along a
small portion of the property, would do little to prevent children from exploring the
gun club property. The gun club recently finished installing a wire fence around
their property and also have the property boUndaries clearly posted. It was
explained that 210th Avenue was being connected to allow better access to the
area west of the proposed plat. The Commission did not believe the applicant
should get an extra 5% bonus for preserving historic features, and therefore, the
number of lots in this plat should be limited to 39. The applicant has also
submitted a letter from the designer of the septic system that addresses the
neighbors concern regarding groundwater contamination.

The Planning Commission and staff recommend the City Council approve the
preliminary plat for Meadowwoods Village with the following conditions:
A DEVELOPERS AGREEMENT OUTLINING THE TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF THE PLAT
