Berkowitz, Director of Public Works/City Engineer FROM: Todd J. Haas, Assistant Public Works Director SUBJECT: 5. Consider Fields of Winslow Cove Park Dedication Requirements DATE: September 2, 2021 INTRODUCTION This item is in regard to reviewing and determining the park dedication requirements for the proposed preliminary plat of Fields of Winslow Cove. A copy of the overall preliminary plat for Fields of Winslow Cove is included in the side pocket of the packet for your review. Three hundred eighty-three single family homes are proposed. The proposed plat is located on both sides of Prairie Road near 1511 Lane NW (approximately 0.5 miles south of Crosstown Boulevard NW). Attached is the location map of where the new development is being proposed along with the narrative of the development. The Park and Recreation Commission had previously reviewed the sketch plan on November 19, 2020, and the recommendation was to accept cash in lieu of land. The City Council reviewed the sketch plan on December 1, 2020 and had suggested parks be identified (one on each side of Prairie Road) since at this point the underpass that was considered under the railroad does not appear to be feasible. The proposed park on the east side of Prairie Road (Park 2) has existing wetland in about half of the park. Per City Code, land dedication shall be selected based on parkland need. Active parkland shall be exclusive of wetlands or other features unsuitable for active park development. So therefore, it is recommended the developer not receive credit for the park dedication for the wetland areas. Relative to Park 1, there are no issues with wetlands or unusable land so therefore it is recommended to give credit to the developer for Park 1. Both of the parks are identified in green. There are a number of bituminous trails that have been identified in blue on the preliminary plat. The trails are anticipated to be public and maintained by the City. There are nature trails proposed shown in orange that will be association maintained. ACTION REQUIRED The Park and Recreation Commission is requested to review the proposed preliminary plat and provide direction on the park dedication requirements for the proposed Fields of Winslow Cove. Respectfully submitted, MOO MIAMM Cc: Josh Metzer, Lennar Homes (copy sent by e-mail) Attachments: Location map; Narrative; Park Commission Sketch Plan meeting minutes of November 19, 2021; City Council Sketch Plan meeting minutes of December 1, 2021; Copy of overall preliminary plat (side pocket of packet); Sheets 12 and 14 which identifies more detail of the proposed park's locations LENNAM NARRATIVE: Fields of Winslow Cove U.S. Home Corp, dba Lennar, is pleased to submit this application for Rezoning and Preliminary Plat for City review of the proposed single family and villa community located along Prairie Road north of Andover Blvd and south of Crosstown Blvd. Existine Conditions The subject property consists of 244 acres located in eastern Andover bounded by BNSF railroad to the west, single family (rural) to the south, single family (rural) and farmland to the east, and single family (rural) and wetlands to the north. Prairie Road essentially bisects the site in half. The current use of the site is agricultural with much of the upland being actively farmed. A significant portion of the site also consists of wetland and floodplain. There are several clusters of trees mostly located at the edges of the property and within or surrounding the wetlands. The site is relatively flat with very gradual grade changes. Description of Request Lennar is proposing the development of a residential community consisting of 383 single family homes. The proposed plan contains varying lot widths including 80-feet, 65-feet, and 55-feet. The property is currently zoned R-1 Single Family Rural. Along with our request for preliminary plat we are seeking a rezoning from R-1 to R-4 and a conditional use permit to include a planned unit development overlay on the property to allow for the proposed lot widths and areas. The zoning amendment will comply with the City's 2D40 Comprehensive Plan. Proposed Lot Types: Villa Lots (55') • Count: 43 homesites; • Width: 55 ft • Depth: 125 • Setbacks: Front — 25 ft Side — 7.5 ft Corner — 25 It Rear — 25 ft • Homes: 1-story & 2-story Villas; • Garages: mostly 2-car, some 3-car; • Sq Ft: 1,550-2,000 • Price: $380,000 - $400,000+ Single Family Lots (65') • Count: 280 homesites; • Width: 65 It • Depth: 125 • Setbacks: Front — 25 ft Side — 7.5 ft Corner — 25 ft Rear — 25 It • Homes: 1-story & 2-story Single Family; • Garages: mostly 3-car, some 4-car; • Sq Ft: 1,900 — 3,300 • Price: $435,000 - $460,000+ Villa Lots (65') • Count: 25 homesites; • Width: 65 ft • Depth: 125 • Setbacks: front-25 ft Side — 7.5 ft Corner— 25 ft Rear — 25 It • Homes: 1-story & 2-story Villas; • Garages: mostly 2-car, some 3-car, • Sq Ft: 1,550-2,000 • Price: $390,D00 - $415,000+ Single Family Lots (80') • Count: 35 homesites; • Width: 80ft • Depth: 225 • Setbacks: Front-25 ft Side — 7.5 ft Corner — 25 ft Rear — 25 It • Homes: 1-story & 2-story Single Family; • Garages: mostly 4-car, some 3-car; • Sq Ft: 2,100 — 3,600 • Price: $450,000+ PUD Findines A. The proposed development is not in conflict with the goals of the Comprehensive Plan of the city. Goal: Allow residential growth while maintaining the quality of natural resources and amenities. Objective. Clearly define areas for urban and rural residential development. The Andover Comprehensive Plan guides the subject property Transitional Residential and allows a mixture of Urban Residential Low Density (2.4 to 4 units/acre) and Urban Residential Medium Density (4 to 8 units/acre). The Fields of Winslow Cove community has a proposed overall net density of 2.98 units per acre. Objective: Prevent extension of infrastructure that is inconsistent with the Comprehensive Plan. • Prairie Road bisects the subject property; • The existing Palm Street stubs to the subject property's south property line and 1501' Street right-of-way is platted to the east property line; • Public water and sanitary sewer services were extended to the west edge of the property in 2019. Objective: Work cooperatively with resource protection aaencies and organizations to minimize the impact of development on natural resources and amenities An EAW process, Phase I Environmental Site Assessment, Wetland Delineation, and Rare Plant Species Survey have been completed on the site for the proposed development. The EAW processed determined no further analysis was required; the Phase I found no recognized environmental conditions on the site; wetland permitting is actively in process with Coon Creek Watershed District, Army Corps of Engineers, and the Minnesota Board of Soil and Water Resources; the rare plant species survey found a limited presence of Rubus onsite which will require a DNR permit for removal. Goal: Provide a variety of housing types to accommodate the life cycle needs of all residents Lennar plans to offer 2-car and 3-car Villa homes targeted toward the aging population including retirees and empty -nesters. We will also be offering 3-car and 4-car single family homes which generally draw young families, grown families, and those looking for more Irving and yard space. This community will offer housing options for buyers ranging from the mid-20's to retirement age. Goal: Enhance accessibility by providing an interconnected multi- use trail system Objectives: • Provide an accessible tail system that links residential neiahborhoods, commercial developments. and park areas. • Coordinate tail construction with street improvement Protects, new development expansion and redevelopment Protects. The community will include an extensive trail system that will link the segmented neighborhoods within Fields of Winslow Cove together. These trails will be stubbed to the exterior property lines to allow for future connections to adjacent neighborhoods and the greater Andover area. The trail system will also create connections to the two proposed neighborhood parks. Goal: Provide parks and facilities that meet present park needs and plan for the future needs of the city. Goal: Promote, protect, preserve and enhance the City's natural resources and open space for the enjoyment of residents, protection of water and air quality and the preservation of wildlife habitat. objectives: • Provide more passive recreation opportunities • Provide for a balance among active and passive recreation areas and activities • Consider development of passive nature -related recreation or conservancy areas on sites found to be suitable for these purposes. • Plan for and provide connections with the pork and trail systems in a manner that both preserves and allows public enjoyment of natural areas. • Seek to provide buffer areas adjacent to significant natural resources and parks. • Work cooperatively with other oraanizations and government agencies to ocauire and enhance open space areas within the ciri • Recognize preservation of nature preserves and open space as a benefit in PUDs More than 118 acres of the site (over48%) will remain preserved open space, wetlands, and wooded areas. A network of trails will be carefully installed throughout these areas. Lennar is proposing to place these preserved areas in outlots which will be owned by the HOA with easements granted to the City for public trail and stormwater maintenance purposes. It is envisioned the trails, open space, wetlands, and wooded areas will serve as a valuable passive recreation area for the public. In addition to the passive recreation in the community Lennar is also proposing the creation of two small neighborhood parks, one on each side of Prairie Road, which will serve the immediate area and act as a compliment to the larger Prairie Knoll Park located south of the subject property. B. The proposed development is designed in such a manner as to form a desirable and unified environment within its own boundaries. The community will mainly be served by Prairie Road and will include open spaces, preserved trees and wetlands, and landscape buffering throughout. Lennar will be the sole builder of homes so the architecture will be consistent. C. The proposed development demonstrates how each modified or waived requirement contributes to achieving the purpose of a PUD. Fields of Winslow Cove proposes the following deviations from City Code: Min. lot size: 11,400 square feet; Proposed: 7,465 square feet (55-foot lots); 8,187 square feet (65-foot lots); 10,581 square feet (80-foot lots) Minimum lot width: 80 feet; Minimum lot depth:130 feet; Minimum Setbacks Front: 35 feet; Side Interior (living): 10 feet; Side Interior (garage): 6 feet; Side Corner 35 feet; Rear: 30 feet; Proposed: 55 feet — 2-car villa lots; 65 feet — 3-car villa lots; 65 feet — 3-car single family lots; 80 feet — 4-car single family lots; Proposed: 125feet Proposed: 25feet Proposed: 7.5 feet Proposed: 7.5 feet Proposed: 25feet (some corner lots will have 20-foot for wetland preservation) Proposed: 25feet Allowing a variation in lot size below 11,400 square feet, and lot widths below 80 feet, permits diversity of products and the provision of life cycle housing. The varying housing types, as mentioned above, will offer housing options for buyers ranging from the mid-20's to retirement age. All the proposed deviations listed above provide the flexibility to create larger areas intended for preservation of open space, wetlands, and trees. D. The PUD is of composition, and arrangement that its construction, marketing, and operation are feasible as a complete unit without dependence upon any subsequent unit. (Ord. 298, 8-4-2004) The Fields of Winslow Cove is an autonomous residential community that has direct access City services and will be developed and marketed to function without dependence on future development outside its boundaries. PUD Deshm Qualities A. Achieves efficiency in the provision of streets and utilities and preserves area to achieve the elements of design qualities described in this chapter. Lennar and City staff have worked together on the design of streets and utilities to ensure efficiencies. B. Provides convenient and safe access for vehicles and pedestrians and all types of activity that are anticipated to be a part of the proposed development. Vehicular and pedestrian traffic have been thoroughly and carefully considered throughout the planning of this community. The plan includes a centrally located roundabout on Prairie Road which will act as a traffic -calming element and will provide for safe pedestrian crossings. Turn lanes and bypass lanes will be utilized at the northerly and southerly Prairie Road intersections. The community will include a trail system that promotes safe pedestrian movement and will connect its neighborhoods. There will also be a trail constructed along Prairie Road in the future. C. Provides a buffer between different uses, adjacent properties, roadways, between backyards of back- to-back lots. The plan proposes significant planted buffers along Prairie Road where any homes will be located within close proximity to the roadway. There will also be preserved (where possible) or planted buffers along the south, east, and even north property lines where new homes will border properties that are more rural in nature or are located outside the MUSA boundary. D. Preserves existing stands of trees and/or significant trees. Existing significant trees are proposed to be preserved throughout Outlots A, D, and F as well as along the eastern and southern property lines to maintain an existing buffer. E. Provides considerable landscaping treatments that complement the overall design and contribute toward an overall landscaping theme. In addition to individual lot tree plantings required by the City all Lennar homes include a landscaping package which are comprised of mulch or rock beds planted with various shrubs and perennials. Lennar also plans to plant buffer trees along both sides of Prairie Road. F. Preserves significant usable space on individual lots or through the provision of open space within the development. Given the depth of Lennar homes and minimum 25-foot front setbacks each lot would have at least a 40-foot to 50-foot deep rear yard. As mentioned above, more than 118 acres of the site (over 48%) will remain preserved open space, wetlands, and wooded areas with a network of trails located throughout these areas. Lennar is also proposing the creation of two small neighborhood parks, one on each side of Prairie Road. G. Provides an attractive streetscape through the use of undulating topography, landscaping, decorative street lighting, decorative mailbox groupings, retaining walls, boulders, fencing, area identification signs, etc. The Fields of Winslow Cove will have many curvilinear streets, boulevard trees, grouped mailboxes, and street lighting all of which will add visual interest to the streetscape. Lennar has an anti -monotony code which ensures homes located next door or across the street from each other do not have the same exterior architectural elevation and color package. Monument signs will be located at community entrances along Prairie Road. H. The proposed structures within the development demonstrate quality architectural design and the use of high -quality building materials for unique design and detailing. Lennar homes include varying materials and siding styles on most facades including lap siding, shakes, board and batten, and stone accents on some homes. Other architectural features available on selected facades include columns, gables, shutters, accentuated window trim and fascia, and decorative roof brackets and cornices. Architectural renderings of these homes are included with this submittal. Lennar's design team will closely monitor color packages and facades to avoid monotony and to ensure a visually appealing streetscape. I. The lasting quality of the development will be ensured by design, maintenance and use guidelines established through an owners' association. (Ord. 298, 8-4-2004) A villa homeowners association and a master homeowners association will be established forthe Fields of Winslow Cove. The villa HOA will be responsible for exterior maintenance, snow removal, and waste removal in the villa neighborhood. The master HOA will be responsible for maintenance of monument signs and buffer fencing. The master HOA will own Outlots A, B, D, E, and F. The City will maintain the trails, storm water ponds and infiltration basin located in those outlots. The HOA will establish an Architectural Control Committee (ACC) will also be established to monitor exterior alterations, accessory structures, retaining walls, fencing, etc. Schedule Upon Preliminary Plat approval grading work will hopefully begin in Summer 2021 with construction of utilities and streets beginning in Fall 2021. Ideally, we would have model homes built and ready for the Spring 2022 Parade of Homes. The overall project will likely be graded in two to three phases and final platted in three to four additions. Lennar has a long-standing history of building successful communities throughout the Twin Cities, including similar communities at Winslow Cove (Andover), Woodridge, Lexington Cove, Wicklow Woods (Blaine), Woodlands (Ramsey), Watermark (Lino Lakes), and Sundance Woods/Sundance Greens (Dayton). We invite you to visit any of these communities and our website at httos://www.lennar.com/new- homes/minnesota/minneaoolis-st-aaul. We look forward to the opportunity to work with the City of Andover again and thank the City for its support.

Mr. Haas identified the location of the development in the east -central part of the City. He stated the developer is planning on 399 single family homes. Josh Metzer, Lennar Homes, came forward to present the sketch plan. Mr. Metzer said the development encompasses 244 acres with 399 homes, a mix of villa and single-family. Mr. Metzer stated they are proposing a meandering trail system and natural open spaces. He stated there are many wetlands in the area that need to be untouched. Mr. Metzer explained they are looking at a railroad underpass to connect developments. He stated the development does not include a park because it is close to Prairie Knoll Park and the sketch plan includes an extensive trail system and passive recreational areas. Chair Lindahl stated he would like to see the road connect to Palm Street to the south to access Prairie Knoll Park. Mr. Haas replied there are road connections proposed to Prairie Knoll park and pointed them out on the map. Mr. Metzer stated the intention is to remove the temporary cul-de-sac and provide a connection to Prairie Knoll Park. Mr. Haas stated the City is trying to drive traffic to Prairie Road instead of through the neighborhoods. Chair Lindahl said he would like to see a flowing trail that provides access to the parks and a longer trail route. Mr. Haas replied the goal is to get a trail down to Andover Boulevard and so residents then have trail access south to Bunker Hills Park. He stated the trail master plan Regular Andover Park & Recreation Commission Meeting Minutes — November 19, 2020 Page 3 shows a trail connecting to Andover Boulevard. Chair Lindahl stated the importance of trails in COVID and meeting neighborhood needs. Chair Lindahl stated he does not believe a park needs to be in this area. Commissioner Strombeck stated this is the third new development that the City has not put a park in. She said there should be a small park on the east side of Prairie Road. Commissioner Miskowiec stated he is having a difficult time fording a good location for a small neighborhood park. He explained the wetland and ponding are taking up a lot of space. Commissioner Newton concurred that she couldn't find a good location for a park either and the trail system is a good addition. Chair Lindahl stated if they put a park on the east side, they would need to make sure there is access to it by a trail. He said they would have to take 6 lots out to put in a small park. Mr. Haas stated if the railroad underpass goes through, Sophie's Park is just a block down the road. Chair Lindahl stated the villa homes will be mostly empty nesters which reduces the need for a park on the west side. Mr. Haas replied that Prairie Knoll Park is not that far away. Mr. Haas stated a lot of residents are biking to parks and the City is flushed with mini parks. Mr. Haas said a neighborhood park would generally include a ball field or soccer field, playground, and other amenities. Commissioner Miskowiec reiterated that he cannot see a park in the area and prefers cash in Iieu of land. Chair Lindahl stated he likes the trails in the proposal and would like to see them enhanced and connected so they don't dead end. Commissioner Miskowiec stated there is potential for a park when the area to the north of this development develops. Chair Lindahl recommended a change to the trail system on the west side of the development to make better connections. Chair Lindahl asked what the cost of the homes would be. Mr. Metzer replied they would be around $400,000 and up. Mr. Metzer stated if the trail is going to extend to the south on the east side, they would extend it so it doesn't impact the wetland. He stated the trail system will be a feature of the development. Mr. Metzer stated the development may be able to add some usable open space. Commissioner Strombeck stated she is looking for something for the homes on the east side. Regular Andover Park & Recreation Commission Meeting Minutes — November 19, 2020 Page 4 Mr. Metzer stated trails are a draw and hit a wider demographic than a park Motion by Miskowiec, seconded by Newton, to recommend to the City Council cash in lieu of land and the provision for an extended trail system. Motion taken by roll call: Strombeck - aye Miskowiec - aye Lindahl - aye Newton- aye Widmyer - absent Motion carried 4 ayes, 1 absent (Widmyer). Mr. Haas stated the development will come back to the Commission as a preliminary plat and the Commission can have additional input at that time. CONSIDER DRAFT 2021 PARKDEDICATIONSTUD Y/RECOMMEND PARK DEDICATIONFEE Assistant Public Works Director Haas stated the Commission is asked to review the 2021 Park Dedication Study and recommend next year's fees. He said the recommendation will be discussed by the City Council at an upcoming workshop. Mr. Haas detailed the updates to the study since the last time the Commission looked at it, including Metropolitan Council's new household recommendations. Mr. Haas reviewed the proposed fees. Chair Lindahl recommended an increase this year and to evaluate it again in a year or two. Chair Lindahl stated he would like to look at maintenance and amenities at parks that are not used much. Mr. Haas asked the Commission if they were still interested in a 10-acre park near Prairie Road and Crosstown Boulevard area. Chair Lindahl replied the Commission should do something on that side because there are not many parks between University Avenue and Prairie Road Associate Planner Griffiths stated the land in that area has development limitations due to wetlands and flood plains, making it difficult to place a park in that general location. Commissioner Miskowiec asked staff where they would recommend putting a 10-acre park off of a State Aid Route. Mr. Haas replied the best location is the east -central side of the City. Mr. Griffiths replied all the land left to be developed is limited. Chair Lindahl replied a park will need to be built but maybe it doesn't need to be 10-acres. Commissioner Miskowiec suggested to place a park in the future needs section that identifies a park going in the east -central area. Mr. Haas stated he will place a note in the study that the Commission is recommending a 5- acre park in this general area.

S. HOME CORPORA TION DBA LENNAR, LLC APPLICANT O City Planner Hellegers stated the Council is asked to review the sketch plan and provide comments to the applicant. He explained the Planning and Zoning Commission reviewed the plan and held a public hearing. Mr. Hellegers stated the Park and Recreation Commission also reviewed the sketch plan. Mr. Hellegers reviewed the definition and purpose of a PUD and sketch plan. He identified the location of the development and stated it encompasses 240 acres. Mr. Hellegers gave background information on the Comprehensive Plan, density requirements, and how it relates to the current development proposal. He indicated it is located within the MUSA boundaries and is zoned Urban Residential Low and Urban Residential Medium. Mr. Hellegers presented the sketch plan and stated there are many wetland acres on the property limiting areas that can be developed. He stated three different types of homes are proposed: villas, and two types of single-family homes. Mr. Hellegers addressed the access points into the development. He reviewed the application with the Council as presented in the staff report, addressing housing styles, screening and buffering, tree preservation, and wetlands. Mr. Hellegers explained the PUD review criteria and the proposed PUD standards. Mayor Trude asked if the side yard and front yard setbacks are identified. Mr. Hellegers replied the City does not have the setbacks at this point in time. Mr. Hellegers explained the next steps in the process. He stated the project is proposed to be graded in two phases and built in four phases. Mr. Hellegers explained the ghost plat areas and access points to undeveloped properties. He presented a sketch showing tree preservation and removal. OMayor Trude asked Mr. Hellegers to display the overall acreage and how it relates to the Comprehensive Plan density. Mr. Hellegers replied 284 lots are dedicated to 65-foot single- Regular Andover City Council Meeting Minutes — December 1, 2020 © Page 6 family homes. He stated the overall density is 2.9 units per acre and the Met Council wants the City to have 3 units per acre. He explained the villa product has a density of 4 units per acre. Mayor Trude stated the Council does not want to be more generous with density than needed. She said the majority of development is Urban Residential Low and only a small portion is Urban Residential Medium. Mr. Hellegers replied 18 acres are dedicated to the villas which are Urban Residential Medium, and the remaining acres are Urban Residential Low. Councihnember Bukkila asked Mr. Hellegers to review the proposed PUD standards. He explained the standards include deviations from standard lot width, depth, lot area, block length, and cul-de-sac length. Councilmember Holthus stated there are a lot of unknowns and she would like to have more information. Mr. Hellegers went into detail about the proposed lots and housing styles. Councilmember Bukkila asked if the proposed streets were up to code. Mr. Hellegers replied they are proposed at 60 feet which is City Code. Mayor Trude stated one of the tradeoffs of not having an apartment building in the O Comprehensive Plan on Bunker Lake Boulevard was having townhomes or other products with smaller lot sizes that are owner -occupied. Associate Planner Griffiths reported the 73 villa homes over 18.1 net acres resulted in 4 units per acre. Mayor Trude stated villas tend to be more senior based housing. She said she does not mind that type of product having a smaller lot, but she is not sure about the 65-foot lots. Councilmember Bukkila asked for a compare/contrast between standard development and the PUD request. Mr. Griffiths displayed the chart showing the PUD deviations. He replied more information will come with the Preliminary Plat review. Councilmember Bukkila asked how many units would be able to be built using the City's standard procedure. Mr. Griffiths replied his estimate is that 452 homes could be built on the acres with the R-4 district standards. Councilmember Barthel asked if the developer did not decide to use a PUD and clear cut and fill everything, they could get 452 homes on the property. Mr. Griffiths replied that is correct. Mr. Griffiths stated if this came forward as a normal plat and not a PUD, there would be no required discussions on tree preservation. Councilmember Holthus asked about the trail crossing Prairie Road. She said she is concerned about the location of the crossing and the safety of pedestrians. She asked what the status was of a railroad underpass to the west side of the railroad tracks. Public Works Director/City Engineer Berkowitz replied the City is also concerned about the safety of the © Prairie Road crossing and will discuss it with the developer. Mr. Berkowitz referred to the question about the railroad underpass. He stated the City is waiting on the EAW to be completed for the development and they will have more information about the level of the Regular Andover City Council Meeting Minutes —December 1, 2020 © Page 7 groundwater. Mr. Berkowitz stated they have been having discussions with BNSF Raihoad and have shared information with the developer. Councilmember Holthus inquired about Palm Street connecting the new development to the existing neighborhood and what the transition from the R-4 to R-1 would look like. Mr. Hellegers replied there will need to be a buffer between the R-1 and R-4 district. He stated the 80-foot lots would be the transition from the new development to the R-1 lots. Councilmember Holthus asked how far away Prairie Knoll Park is and if there would be a trail. along Prairie Road. Mr. Hellegers replied the long-term plan is to have a trail along Prairie Road. Mayor Trude stated she believes it is about a half -mile for kids to walk to get to Prairie Knoll Park. Mr. Berkowitz replied the northern edge of the development is a half -mile from the southern edge. He stated the trail along Prairie Road is part of the Regional Trail Plan and they have asked the developer to grade the trail as part of their project. Councilmember Holthus replied it will be very valuable to have the trail along Prairie Road. Mayor Trude asked if a trail is required because it is a State Aid Route. Mr. Berkowitz replied it is a requirement along Prairie Road but not in the interior of the development. © Councilmember Holthus asked what kind of traffic controls will be in the development and along Prairie Road. Mr. Berkowitz replied Prairie Road is a major collector street and will likely not have any controlled intersections. He stated there will be intersection improvements by adding left and right turn lanes. He said the developer is required to provide a traffic analysis identifying the impacts to existing roads and intersections. Mr. Berkowitz stated the City worked with the developer to plan traffic calming designs to the interior of the development. Councilmember Bukkila asked staff to help point out specific areas under discussion She asked if there would be additional lights or medians along Prairie Road. Mr. Berkowitz replied that is in discussion and will be part of the Preliminary Plat Review. He stated lighting can be included in the feedback given to the developer and added to the plan. Councilmember Bukkila said there are have been significant accidents on Prairie Road where the road curves. She said this may be an opportunity to create a safer road as the City adds more homes to the area. Councilmember Bukkila stated she would like to see medians and good lighting. Councilmember Bukkila asked for more information about the buffers. Mayor Trude stated she would like more information about tree preservation. Josh Metzer, Lennar Homes, came forward and stated they are interested in a PUD to offer smaller lots with a mix of products. He stated the 65-foot lot width is the standard they build O on for a 50-foot-wide home with a 7'/s foot side yard setback. He stated the villas are 40 feet wide with a 7 % foot side yard setback. He stated the 80-foot lots would be used as premier lots and a transition to the R-1 homes. He indicated they typically look at 25-foot front and Regular Andover City Council Meeting Minutes —December 1, 2020 O Page 8 back yard setbacks. Mr. Metzer stated they are looking for a PUD because if they had to follow the 80-foot lot width, they would have to impact wetlands and bring in a lot of fill. He stated the PUD is allowing them to preserve trees, creating open space and a meandering ditch, and trail loops. Mr. Metzer stated they are looking at the railroad underpass to see if it is feasible. He said they will try to preserve trees along the eastern and southern border. He said wherever they are not able to preserve, they will plant trews. Mr. Metzer stated there are areas that have been impacted by Oak Wilt and those trees will have to come down anyway. Mayor Trade asked why they planned on taking down trees to the border on the north and said it would be nice to save a few rows of trees. Mr. Metzer replied the road is being pushed to the north to avoid impacting the wetland, which results in taking down more trees. He said if the studies show they do not need to push the road as far north, they can save more trees. Mr. Metzer said it is uncommon to provide a buffer in similarly zoned areas in the MUSA. Mayor Trade asked Mr. Metzer to talk about the proposed trails. Mr. Metzer replied they plan on paved trails throughout the development. Mayor Trade stated the east side does not have access to a park and she would like to see one. Mr. Metzer stated the Park and Recreation Commission indicated they would look for a neighborhood park near University Avenue when the surrounding areas develop. OMr. Metzer stated they will be completing an EAW with a traffic study and will address the crossing at Prairie Road. Mayor Trade expressed the positive aspects of the plan including the wetlands with a variety of wildlife. She asked if the developer planned on preserving trees along the ditch. Mr. Metzer replied they are going to save as many trees as possible. He said they will be meandering the ditch, so it looks like a natural stream instead of a straight line. Mayor Trade said there was a lot of Oak Wilt in the area and many trees were cut down. Mr. Metzer said they will be taking down any trees with Oak Wilt. Mr. Metzer explained their timeline stating they would like to present a pre -plat in March and a final plat in April. He said they would start grading on the western half of the property where the utilities will be brought in. He stated they would hope to have model construction in the fall and sell after that. Mr. Metzer stated the project would take around 8 years to build and sell. Councihnember Butler state he would like to see maximum tree preservation including a buffer of trees on the north end. He said they would like to preserve the pines on the southeast end. Councilmember Butler stated he is concerned about the crossing of Prairie Road and feels that it will be a problem. He stated he wants to see a good plan to get people to and from parks and making sure there is safe pedestrian access. Councilmember Butler stated if there is a safe crossing at Prairie Road, he could see delaying of a park on the eastside until more land develops. Regular Andover City Council Meeting Minutes — December 1, 2020 © Page 9 Councilmember Bukkila asked where a potential park would go on the east side. Mayor Trade said there are a lot of natural amenities on the east side, but she would like to see a park. • Mr. Griffiths stated the recommendation of the Park and Recreation Commission was to find land east of the development to build a park. Mayor Trade stated there is a lot of wetland to the east. Mr. Metzer said there are upland areas to continue the road to the east. Mr. Berkowitz stated there is also upland closer to University Avenue. Councilmember Bukkila asked the width of the buffer to the east and south. Mr. Hellegers replied there is no width requirement. Mr. Hellegers stated the proposed width is difficult to determine. Mr. Hellegers stated buffering was a concern of the neighboring properties and could include tree preservation or planting of trees. Councilmember Bukkila stated she would like to preserve the natural buffer because it takes too long for something to be planted and grow. She stated she is looking for road safety on Prairie Road, sufficient buffers, and if the City is going to make concessions on lot widths, amenities need to be clearly stated by the developer. Councihnember Barthel stated he agrees with natural buffering on the south and east side. He said he agrees with Councilmember Bukkila that taking down trees and then planting new ones takes too much time to grow. Councilmember Barthel said safety on Prairie Road is © going to be an issue. He said there needs to be lighting at each entry point. Councilmember Barthel stated he would like to see a park on the eastside at some point. He stated safe access across Prairie Road is important. Councihnember Barthel stated there may be too many lots and he would like to see the number of lots lowered to increase the width of the 65-foot lots. He stated there is future development to the southeast and would propose a stub street at that cul-de-sac. Mayor Trade replied that there are two property owners to the south, one owned by a developer (Mark Smith) and one by a private citizen (Shawn Smith). Mr. Berkowitz replied the developer to the south (Mark Smith) has requested utilities stubbed in and stated the property to the north of that (Shawn Smith) will be difficult to develop. Councilmember Barthel stated he is concerned the owner in the middle will be landlocked if there is no connection planned from the proposed development. Mr. Berkowitz replied that staff will contact Shawn Smith to discuss access to their property for firture development. Mr. Metzer stated if a stub street was built off the cul-de-sac, they would have to remove a large number of trees to build the road to the property line. Mayor Trade said the Shawn Smith family built their home around 5 years ago and service to Mark Smith's property is going to be complicated. Mr. Dickinson stated there would be connections at 1486 Lane and 1466 Lane across for the Mark Smith property on the east side of Prairie Road. Mayor Trade stated this development is 240 acres and she would like to see a park on the east side of Prairie Road. Mayor Trade stated the smaller lots will not allow for a playset in the 10 backyard. She said the trails are nice, but it is ideal to have a park. Mayor Trade stated the land to the east of this is marshy and would be best suited for villa style homes which do not Regular Andover City Council Meeting Minutes — December 1, 2020 © Page 10 usually have children. Mayor Trade asked if sewer could be extended to the east. Mr. Berkowitz stated there is a significant amount of upland that can accommodate a road and a good number of lots. He stated the sewer and water would need a lift station to make the connection to University Avenue. Mayor Trade stated she would like to see fewer lots, and some wider lots should be allowed to allow for a rambler style home, and the railroad underpass connection on the west side. Councilmember Holthus stated she would like to see significant tree preservation, a safe trail crossing at Prairie Road, an underpass at the railroad, a park on the east side, and a trail along Prairie Road. Councilmember Bukkila would like to see a trail on Prairie Road, a plan for a park, and the railroad underpass. She said things are significant in this area and if they do not happen, there is going to be re-evaluation. Mayor Trade stated if the underpass does not happen a park will need to be built in this area to accommodate all the families. Mayor Tmde said the Holasek family has been around for generations. She gave background information on the family stating they have been impacted by development and it is now their turn to develop. She stated many people are upset and complain that the City is responsible. She said it is up to the private owner and they have a right to develop. Mayor Tmde said the family has waited a long time to develop, longer than many other farmers. She stated it is sad to see the land and trees go, but the City has to respect property rights and allow fair and reasonable development. Mayor Trade stated the City's hands are tied to some extent because of the Met Council's control over the sewer system. She said the City has a lot of single-family homes, but just not on the smaller lots. Mayor Trade stated the Council does not take the decision lightly and it is a hard change to see. She asked if anyone wanted to help the family preserve their history, they can reach out to the daughter. She said the family wants to preserve their history but in order to do that, they have to sell their land. Mr. Metzer stated he understands the concerns about the buffers, crossing at Prairie Road, a location for a park, and he will take the comments and incorporate them into the plan. Mayor Trade stated the developer can check in with staff on a regular basis and they will bring items to a workshop as needed. Mayor Trade stated there have been a lot of interest from the community. She said they will read and address the comments, but the development is not Qunder the control of the City. She stated the City will apply and monitor code. Mr. Dickinson summarized the issues and concerns of the Council. He stated staff has a grasp Regular Andover City Council Meeting Minutes —December 1, 2020 © Page l I of what Council is looking for. He thanked Mr. Metier for attending and the Council for their review. Mayor Trude stated no decisions were made tonight. She said it was a conversation about the plans and ideas for this area. She said the plans might change as studies are completed. CO YID 19 UPDATE City Administrator Dickinson updated the Council on the primary changes to the COVID-19 response since the last meeting.

Berkowitz, Director of Public Works/City Engineer FROM: Todd J. Haas, Asst. Public Works Director 40- SUBJECT: 6. Review Outstanding Items/Maintenance Update DATE: September 2, 2021 Issues list as of 8/27/21 COMPLETED PROJECTS — • Hawkridee Park Shelter Replacement — The new shelter has been installed. The concrete sidewalk from the shelter to the trail is complete and the restoration is close to being completed along with electrical outlet. The neighborhood at this point is not interested in a fall grand opening. The neighborhood will contact staff if they would like to have it in the Spring 2022. ON -GOING PROJECTS - • Update of Park Dedication Improvement Fund Ouarterly Renort — Item is scheduled on the October agenda. • Update of Ouarterly Sheriffs Department Renort on Park Patrol & Vandalism — Item is scheduled on the October agenda. • Update of Andover Community Center Quarterly Report— Item is scheduled on the October agenda. • Wild Iris Park Plaveround Equipment Replacement — The playground equipment has been delivered to Public Works. The neighborhood has indicated that they will not be doing a community build. The playground equipment will know be installed by Public Works later this fall. • Bike Youth/Trail — The trail is ready for use by the public. The signage for the rules/guidelines and direction of travel are close to being completed by Parks Maintenance staff. The trail entrance is located on the east side of the wooded area by the existing paved trail and south parking lot area in Sunshine Park. To make the trail more challenging and attractive to the bikers, Public Works will be looking at providing more jumps and dips this fall. At this point, the trail is not getting much use. • Rose Park Plaveround Improvements (2022) — Staff is currently working on preparing letters to send to area residents to let them know about the possibility of the playground equipment that may be replaced in 2022 and to invite them to fill out the survey about the park. Public Works is currently preparing a temporary sign to be placed at the park with a QR code so that will users of the park can also access the survey. Residents will also have the option to visit the City website to complete the survey. Once the City Council approves the 2022 Capital Improvement Plan, staff will start looking at equipment to purchase for the park with neighborhood representatives. • Prairie Knoll Park Playground Improvements (2022) — Staff is currently working on preparing letters to send to area residents to let them know about the possibility of the playground equipment that may be replaced in 2022 and to invite them to fill out the survey about the park. Public Works is currently preparing a temporary sign to be placed at the park with a QR code so that will users of the park can also access the survey. Residents will also have the option to visit the City website to complete the survey. Once the City Council approves the 2022 Capital Improvement Plan, staff will start looking at equipment to purchase for the park with neighborhood representatives. Strootman Park (2022) — The replacement of the playground equipment is identified 2022. Once the City Council approves the 2022 Capital Improvement Plan, staff will start looking at equipment to purchase for the park with neighborhood representatives. ON -HOLD PROJECTS — None at the time. OTHER ITEMS OF INTEREST — • Update of Pedestrian Trails: ❖ 2024 or Beyond -- Kelsey Round Lake Park Trail. The reconstruction of the trail will most likely be pushed out for reconstruction for another 3-5 years. Staff met with the MN DNR staff recently to evaluate the condition of the existing boardwalk and the trail. The DNR representative indicated that the boardwalk and trail are beyond repair and indicated that both would be eligible for a DNR funding by applying for an Outdoor Recreation Grant. Staff would recommend applying for the funding for the boardwalk as part of this winter's grant applications round in early 2022 (construction would be in 2023). The trail replacement could be applied for in early winter of 2023 or 2024 since most likely only one application would be awarded at a time and not in the same year. Also, by applying for grants in different years, the City can determine how they would fund both projects at part of the 5-year Capital Improvement Plan since the City will be responsible for a portion of the matching grant for the reconstruction. ❖ Tom Anderson Trail Update — The trail along Coon Creek is closed temporarily to allow the installation of Coon Creek Trunk Sanitary Sewer Lift Station #11 just east of Hanson Boulevard NW. • Update of Scheduline Park and Recreation Commission meeting at a City Park or Facility — The Commission will need to consider a park to meet in 2022. If you have any questions or comments regarding any of the items mentioned above or any items relating to parks or projects, feel free to contact Todd Haas or Dave Berkowitz at the City. Staff recommends the Commission continue reviewing the City Council meeting minutes that you receive by e-mail as to discussions of various projects the City Council has been working on or is considering. Note: If you have any items that you would like to add to the list, let me know at the meeting. 08/07/21 • Mowing, trash and recycling service for Parks and Trails continued all week. • Hawk Ridge Park shelter had finish grade work and seed done.
