6.12. SR 06-17-1996~ity of ITEM 6.12. iver FROM: DATE: SUBJECT: MEMORANDUM Mayor and City Council Steven B. Ach, City Planner~2~~ June 17, 1996 Preliminary Plat Request for John Weicht and Associates, Inc., Public Hearing Case No. P 96-4 Issue John Weicht and Associates, Inc. is requesting a preliminary plat approval to subdivide approximately 7 acres into one commercial lot and one outlot. Location The northwest corner of Jarvis Street and U.S. Highway No. 10. Zoning/Land Use C3 (Highway Commercial) / HB (Highway Business) Attachments · Report to the Planning Commission dated May 28, 1996 · Letter from the City Engineer dated June 10, 1996 · Letter from Mn/DOT dated June 13, 1996 · Concept Plan from John Ohver's office Overview The proposed prehminary plat involves replatting Lots 1, 2 and 3, Block 1, R & R Industrial Park, as well as including a portion of unplatted property immediately to the west. The plat involves approximately 7 acres of property of which 6 acres will be platted into a commercial lot for Furniture and Things and including right-of-way for the extension of a frontage road (156th Avenue NW) and a residual piece labeled as 0utlot A. 0utlot A is approximately a half acre in size and does not meet the City's lot size requirement; therefore, staff would recommend a condition be made part of the approval to attach Outlot A with the adjacent property. 13065 Orono Parkway · P.O. Box 490 · Elk River, MN 55330 · (612) 441-7420 · Fax: (612) 441-7425 Memo to Mayor and City Council P 96-4 June 17, 1996 Well and Septic System Page 2 This plat is in an area of the City that currently does not have city water and sewer, nor is it planned as part of the comprehensive plan to have city water and sewer. Therefore, the development as proposed for the platted lot will be required to provide its own septic and well system. Transportation The draft comprehensive transportation plan identifies Jarvis Street as ultimately becoming a minor arterial. Jarvis Street is envisioned to extend north of Highway 10, serving the east and southeast area of Elk River as well as parts of Ramsey. As part of the corridor study the City has been working with MN/DOT on, Jarvis Street has been identified as a future signalized intersection. Therefore, based on these long range plans, staff is recommending additional right of way be dedicated as part of the plat and access issues be carefully addressed at this time, to avoid any future problems as traffic in this area is expected to increase. To assist in the long range planning for this area, John Oliver's office has put together a concept plan which takes a look at the property beyond the limits of the proposed plat (see attached exhibit). Included in the concept plan is a frontage road that extends from Jarvis Street further west providing access to additional property which is currently zoned industrial and commercial. The frontage road shown on the concept plan will intersect with Jarvis Street at the same point 156th Avenue connects with Jarvis on the east side. This design will resemble a typical frontage road concept setback approximately 300 feet from the intersection of Jarvis and Highway 10, providing a safe means of access to the property on either side of Jarvis as it develops. Necessary Road Improvements 156th Avenue NW - as discussed above, 156th Avenue NW is the extension of a frontage road west of Jarvis Street. Staff is recommending that 156th Avenue be improved as part of this development from Jarvis Street to the plat's western limits. This type of improvement has been required of all plats to basically complete the improvements within the boundaries of the development which will allow adjacent properties to develop and extend improvements incrementally as each parcel of property develops. It is envisioned that the frontage road will be an urban section with concrete curb and gutter, very similar to a segment of street recently built by Lee Fredrickson as part of Riverside Auto Sales which is about a quarter mile east of the subject property on Highway 10. s:\council\P96-4.doc Memo to Mayor and City Council P 96-4 June 17, 1996 Page 3 Jarvis Street - Staff has also indicated a concern of the condition of Jarvis Street, as it appears the road is only 23 to 25 feet wide and consists of a rural section. Given the proposed 90,000 square foot commercial building and the potential for this area to continue to develop, additional traffic will be utilizing Jarvis Street. Therefore, staff is once again recommending improvements be made to Jarvis to accommodate not only the increase in trs_ffic as a result of the commercial building, but also in anticipation of future development and increased traffic on Jarvis. In the attached memo from Terry Maurer dated June 10, 1996, Terry outlines a recommendation for the types of improvements which should be made to Jarvis at this time and also cites other examples where developers have been responsible for making improvements to adjacent streets as a result of the proposed development. Staff has indicated to the developer that these types of improvements have been required as part of other developments; however, another option available would be for the developer to submit a petition to the City to have Jarvis upgraded and have those costs assessed to the benefiting properties. Access off of Jarvis Street Another transportation issue that may not seem important today, however, will be a growing concern as this area continues to develop and troffic increases on Jarvis, is allowing access to the proposed commercial site directly off Jarvis Street, rather than utilizing the proposed frontage road. The attached site plan of the proposed commercial building shows an access off of Jarvis Street which is about 220 feet north of the Highway 10 and Jarvis Street intersection. However, the entrance is only 100 feet from the proposed frontage road which could cause some conflicts with turning movements. Staff beheves that the proposed commercial included in this plat as well as any proposed development at the opposite corner of Jarvis and Highway 10 (northeast corner), should have its access hmited to the frontage road. Once again, in anticipation of this area further developing and tr~_ffic increasing, the ideal design would be to utilize the frontage road as the access point into these commercial sites. Planning Commission Recommendation The Planning Commission reviewed the preliminary plat request and discussed at length the issues associated with the road improvements and access off of Jarvis Street. The Planning Commission's recommendation was split 2-2 mainly because of the access issue. In general, the plat was acceptable; however, a condition to limit access from Jarvis Street was not a unanimous decision. s:\councfl\P96-4.doc Memo to Mayor and City Council P 96-4 June 17, 1996 Recommendation Page 4 It is recommended the City Council approve the preliminary plat request by John Weicht and Associates to subdivide approximately 7 acres with one commercial lot and one outlot with the following conditions: A developer's agreement be prepared an executed outlining the terms and conditions of plat approval and any necessary improvements. o Additional 17 feet of fight-of-way be provided along the west side of Jarvis Street including the frontage of Outlot A. Developer be responsible to construct 156th Avenue NW extending west of Jarvis Street to the western limits of the plat. 4. A temporary cul-de-sac be provided at the end of 156th Avenue NW. Park dedication in the amount required by the City at the time of final plat be paid prior to releasing the final plat for recording. Surface water management impact fee in the amount required by the City at the time of final plat be paid prior to releasing the final plat for recording. A letter of credit or other acceptable financial guarantee be provided to the City to ensure the installation of street, utility (storm sewer) and other public improvements. o Prior to issuance of a building permit on Lot 1, Block 1, for the proposed plat, the existing billboard be removed from the site. Appropriate permits from the Minnesota Department of Transportation be obtained for any proposed work within the State right-of-way. 10. Any recommendations or conditions from the Minnesota Department of Transportation be made part of the plat approval. 11. All comments stated in the City Engineer's memo dated 5/23/96 be incorporated as part of the preliminary plat approval. 12. A grading plan be approved by the City Engineer prior to any work commencing on the site. s:\council\P96-4.doc Memo to Mayor and City Council Page 5 P 96-4 June 17, 1996 13. Jarvis Street be upgraded from State Highway No. 10 north to 156th Street. 14. 15. Street lights be installed at the corner of 156th Avenue and Jarvis Street. This improvement shall be included with the plans prepared for 156th Avenue NW. A sealcoating fee as determined by the City Engineer be provided prior to releasing the plat for recording. This fee shall apply to 156th Avenue NW. s:\council\P96-4.doc CONSULTING ENGINEERS June 10, 1996 File: 230-317-11 1326 Energy Park Drive St. Paul, MN 55108 612-644-4389 1-800-888-2923 Fax: 612-644-9446 Mr. Steve Ach City Planner City of Elk River 13065 Orono Parkway P.O. Box 490 Elk River, MN 55330 RE: RENNER ADDITION JARVIS STREET UPGRADE Dear Mr. Ach: CIVIL ENGINEERING: ENVIRONMENTAL MUNICIPAL PLANNING SOLID WASTE STRUCTURAL SURVEYING TRAFFIC TRANSPORTATION As you requested, this correspondence is intended to provide follow-up information relative to our earlier recommendation that Jarvis Street be upgraded from 156th Avenue to TH 10 in conjunction with development of the Renner Addition. We would recommend that Jarvis Street be upgraded to a 9-ton, urban section roadway over this stretch. We believe that the width of the roadway should be at least 42 feet wide to support three lanes of traffic, two southbound and one northbound. This will provide a means of stacking vehicles that intend to turn east on TH 10, while allowing the movement of vehicles intending to head west on TH 10. The urban nature of the design would tie directly to the urban street section to be built within the Renner Addition on 156th Avenue. ElECTRICAL/MECHANICAL ENGINEERING: HVAC POWER DISTRIBUTION SCADA SYSTEM CONTROLS Ultimately, when this area fully develops and/or redevelops, it is likely that the Jarvis intersection with TH 10 would be signalized. At that point in time, this segment of Jarvis may have to be upgraded further to accommodate geometric improvements associated with signalization of the intersection. MnDOT's Draft Corridor Study for Elk River envisions this type of improvement and the transportation component of the Comprehensive Plan lists Jarvis as a minor arterial sometime in the future. OFFICES MINNEAPOLIS PRIOR LAKE SI. PAUL WASECA I believe there is ample precedent for requiring these types of improvements with the development of commercial plats. For example, Elk Park Center improved both School Street and Jackson Avenue from their entrance to TH 169, Hillside Crossing improved 193rd from their entrance to TH 169, and Hillside Crossing II will improve 197th Avenue from their entrance to TH 169. In fact, this is very similar to the Hillside Crossing II plat in that it is only developing one lot at this point in time, but there is the potential for other development in the immediate area.

The final plat must identify the Trunk Hishway (TH) l0 right of way line, Any questions regarding Mn/DOT's right of way boundaries may be directed to Gene Nelson of our Surveys Section at 797-3112. As you know, we support the development of local roads parallel to TH 10 to provide property access. Property access is most efficiently and safely provided by a local street network, with collectors intersecting the trunk highway system at appropriately spaced points. Highways such as TH I0 were constructed to serve regional mobility needs rather than property access, and the proliferation of direct access degrades highway safety and capacity. For these reasons we appreciate the dedication of fight of way for 156th Avenue Northwest, and the consolidation of highway access at .larvis Street. We look forward to continuing to work with the city and property owners to balance access needs with the need to preserve the highway resource. An equal opportunity employer Mn/DOT Metro W.E.

Ach, City Planner~~~ May 28, 1996 Preliminary Plat Request for John Weicht and Associates, Inc., Public Hearing Case No. P 96-4 Request John Weicht and Associates, Inc. is requesting preliminary plat approval to subdivide approximately 6 acres into one commercial lot and one outlot. Location The northwest corner of Jarvis Street and U.S. Highway No. 10 Zoning/Land Use C-3 (I-tighway Commercial) HB (Highway Business) Attachments · Memo from the City Engineer dated 5/24/96 · Location Map · Zoning Map · Preliminary Plat · Excerpt from Draft Transportation Plan · Billboard Ordinance · Proposed Site Plan Overview The proposed preliminary plat involves replatting Lots 1, 2 and 3 of Block 1, RR Industrial Park, as well as a portion of an unplatted piece of property immediately to the west. The plat involves approximately 7 acres of property of which 6 acres will be a platted lot for a proposed commercial building (Fu. rniture and Things), as well as the extension of a frontage road (156th Avenue NW), and a residual piece labeled as Outlot A. The property is currently vacant with two stands of existing trees on the west side of 13065 Orono Parkway · P.O. Box 490 · Elk River, MN 55330 · (612) 441-7420 · Fax: (612) 441-7425 Memo to Planning Commission Page 2 May 28, 1996 proposed Lot i and an existing billboard along Highway 10. As part of developing this parcel, the existing billboard will need to be removed per city ordinance (see attachment). Transportation The draft comprehensive transportation plan identifies Jarvis Street as ultimately becoming a minor arterial. It has also been discussed with MnfDOT that Jarvis and Highway 10 is a likely candidate for a future signal, based on the contributing traffic to Jarvis from the City of Ramsey and the City's proposed plan to extend Jarvis further north to serve the eastern part of Elk River. Based on this minor arterial designation, additional right-of- way has been requested and is reflected on the proposed plat. The one exception to this is additional right-of-way has not been included along the east 17 feet of Outlot A which staff would recommend be included as part of this plat. Also reflected on the plat is 60 feet of right-of-way extending west of Jarvis Street which will act as a frontage road to serve the commercial and industrial areas lying north' and west of Highway 10 and Jarvis. The applicant's engineer has indicated that they are in the process of preparing concept plans for the vacant land immediately west of the proposed plat and will be prepared to present these plans to the Planning Commission Tuesday night. It is anticipated that the concept plans will illustrate a frontage road alignment through the plat supporting the planned right-of-way at this timeas well as a conceptual extension further to the west. Necessary Road Improvements Staff has discussed with both John Weicht and Roger Rennet the need to construct 156th Avenue for the entire distance within the plat. This recommendation has consistently been brought forward on previous plats to ensure that roads are constructed to the plat's limits. Although its difficult to predict the exact alignment of the frontage road as it is to serve properties further west of the subject plat, staff believes a defined alignment through the proposed plat needs to be established at this time. Jarvis is also a street which may need further attention along with this plat. As mentioned earlier, the proposed plat is being brought forward to accommodate a large commercial use (90,000 sq. ft. furniture store). Therefore, the increased traf~c may necessitate upgrading portions of Jarvis. Currently, Jarvis Street is a 23' - 25' wide rural section road and really inadequate to handle additional commercial traffic. Therefore, staff is recommending that additional improvements be made to Jarvis along with s:\plsnniu g\pc\p96-4.doc Memo to Planning Commission May 28, 1996 Lot Size and Dimensions Page 3 The minimum lot size in the C3 zoning district permits one-acre lots. As previously mentioned, the developable lot being created is 6 acres in size, we]] exceeding the minimum roquiremonts. Also in the plat is a remnant that is created as a result of the frontage road extending west of Jarvis. This remnant is labeled as Outlot A and is approximately one-half acre in size. Staff is recommending that Outlot A be combined with Lot 4 immediately to the north to avoid any possibilities of Outlot A going tax forfeit. Well and Septic System This plat is in an area of the City that currently does not have water and sewer and is not planned as part of the comprehensive plan to have city water and sewer. Therefore, any development proposed in this area will be required to provide adequate on site septic and well systems. As a result of the size of the proposed commercial use, the building will need to be sprinkled and in order to accommodate the sprin]din g system, a 30,000 gallon underground tank will need to be provided on site. Access off Ja rv is The proposed frontage road (156th Avenue) is approximately 340 feet north of Highway 10. Ideally, the frontage road is the street that should provide access to the parcels at the corner of Highway 10 and Jarvis. As shown on the proposed site plan for the furniture store an access is proposed directly off Jarvis. Staff believes this access should be removed. Certainly under today's conditions an access directly off Jarvis would seem reasonable. However, to allow the access today and expect it to be removed at a later date is difficult. Furthermore, the decision to permit or prohibit access on the west side of Jarvis will have an impact on future proposals for the east side of Jarvis. If the Planning Commission agrees with the need to prevent access directly off Jarvis, the best means to accomplish this with the plat is require restricted access. Recommendation It is recommended that the Planning Commission recommend approval of the preliminary plat request by John Weicht and Associates to subdivide approximately 7 acres into one commercial lot and one outlot with the following conditions: s:\plsnni, g\pc\p96-4.doc Memo to Planning Commission Page 4 May 28, 1996 1.

A temporary cul-de-sac be provided at the end of 156th Avenue NW. Park dedication in the amount required by the City at the time of final plat be paid prior to releasing the final plat for recording. Surface water management impact fee in the amount required by the City at the time of final plat be paid prior to releasing the final plat for recording. A letter of credit or other acceptable financial guarantee be provided to the City to ensure the installation of street and utility (storm sewer) improvements. Prior to issuance of a building permit on Lot 1, Block 1, for the proposed plat, the existing billboard be removed from the site. Appropriate permits from the Minnesota Department of Transportation be obtained for any proposed work within the State fight-of-way. 10. Any recommendations or conditions from the Minnesota Department of Transportation be made part of the plat approval. 11. All comments stated in the City Engineer's memo dated 5/23/96 be incorporated as part of the prehminary plat approval. 12. A grading plan be approved by the City Engineer prior to any work commencing on the site. 13.

PAUl. W,~SECA As requested, wc have reviewed thc submittal for the Refiner Addition. The submittal was prepared by John Oliver and Associates and contained a preliminary plat and a preliminary grading plan, both of which were dated April 30, 1996. Based on our review, comments received at the staff review' meeting, and comments from a meeting with the Developer and John Oliver and Associates, we would offer the following comments: The plat creates one large lot, approximately six acres in size, adjacent to TH I0. It also provides right-of-way for the start of a frontage road off of Jarvis and the renmant, approximately one-half acre in size, is platted as an outlot north of the road right-of-way. It is our understanding that the outlot v-ill be added to the Rermer & Sons Well Drilling property immediately to the noz~h. The plat adds 17 feet to the existing right-of-way of Jarvis Street. By acquiring an additional 17 feet on the opposite side of the street, the City will have a 100-foot right-of-way. When'this area develops, the intersection of Jarvis and TH 10 will likely be signalized and the additional right-of-way will be needed to provide for intersection and roadway geometric improvements. The preliminary grading plan shows storm drainage for Lot 1, Block 1, being a retention pond located just off of the northwest corner of the property. We would recommend that the ponding which is required for Lot 1, Block: I, be incorporated into the actual lot, and be provided with a drainage easement over this area. At some point in the future, specific drainage calculations will need ro be supplied for the hcility expected to be constructed on Lot 1, Block 1, to ensure that the pond is adequately sized. An Equal Opportunity Employer Mx. Steve Ach May 24, 1996 Page Two 156th Avenue should be constructed with these improvements. It will need to be provided with a temporary turnaround at the north end. The preliminary grading plan shows an access from Lot 1, Block 1, directly onto Jar, tis Street. We would recommend that no access directly onto Jar'vis be allowed, and that the access to Lot 1, Block 1, be off of 156th Avenue. In fact, it may be desirable to provide two access points off of 156th Avenue, one for customer traffic and one for large delivery trucks. Jarvis Street is in poor condition. This plat can be expected to add substantially to the traffic on Jarvis from TH 10 to 156th Avenue. It should be upgraded at least from TH 10 to 156th Avenue with this plat in anticipation of this increased traffic. If you have any questions regarding any of these comments, please call.
