As part of the project, additional easements have been acquired and a 45 railroad crossing is involved. The City will extend sewer to the location of Sycamore Street 46 NW along Crosstown Blvd NW (1,100 feet). With the sewer line being located below the Regular Andover Planning and Zoning Commission Meeting Minutes —June 11, 2024 Page 2 1 waterline, it will be a more efficient use of resources vs digging in the same location twice, 2 and then supporting the waterline in the future for the sewer extension. 4 The City of Andover applied for a sewer extension permit with the Metropolitan Council to 5 extend the sewer from west of the BNSF railroad tracks to approximately Sycamore St NW 6 and Crosstown Blvd NW intersection. Met Council indicated that we are not able to extend 7 the sewer as the staging area is not within the appropriate timeframe. 8 9 The proposed Comprehensive Plan Amendment consists of changing the sewer staging plan 10 map to include an area south of Crosstown Blvd NW and East of the BNSF railroad tracks 11 in order to facilitate a city project to extend sewer to Sycamore Street NW. 12 13 The Planning & Zoning Commission is requested to hold a public hearing on the 14 Comprehensive Plan Amendment request and make a recommendation to the City Council. 15 If the City Council approves the Comprehensive Plan Amendment, it will be forwarded to 16 the Metropolitan Council for review and authorization prior to final adoption by the City 17 Council as part of a future consent agenda. 18 19 Commissioner Hudson asked if a trail would be put in that area and Mr. Hellegers stated 20 that is being considered as to how to cross the railroad crossing. 21 22 Chair Godfrey opened the public hearing at 7:08 p.m. 23 24 No one appeared to address the Commission. 25 26 Chair Godfrey closed the public hearing at 7:09 p.m. 27 28 Motion by Loehlein, seconded by Hudson, to recommend the City Council approve the 29 Resolution for the Comprehensive Plan Amendment — Sewer Staging Map).

ANDOVER, MINNESOTA 55304 • (763) 755-5100 FAX (763) 755-8923 • WWW.ANDOVERMN.GOV TO: Planning and Zoning Commissioners FROM: Peter Hellegers, City Planner SUBJECT: PUBLIC HEARING: Sketch Plan/Conditional Use Permit (CUP)/Planned Unit Development (PUD) Review —SW Wold Construction Inc. DATE: July 23, 2024 INTRODUCTION The Planning Commission is asked to review a sketch plan for a single-family PUD residential development as proposed by SW Wold Construction Inc. The applicant submitted a narrative for the proposed Sketch Plan which is attached for your review. What is a Sketch Plan / PUD Concept Plan? A Sketch Plan / PUD Concept Plan is used to provide feedback to the developer through Andover Review Committee (ARC), Planning and Zoning Commission, Park and Recreation Commission, and City Council but formal action is not taken at this stage. The intent of the Sketch Plan process is to view the concept plan for a proposed development and to discuss big picture concerns or areas of consistency with code. An applicant would need to develop detailed plans that address the concerns prior to their application for Preliminary Plat and PUD. Purpose of PUD? The purpose of a PUD is to encourage more efficient allocation of density and intensity of land use where such arrangement is desirable and feasible by providing the means for greater creativity and flexibility in environmental design than provided under the strict application of this code. It must be demonstrated to the satisfaction of the City Council that a higher quality development will result than could otherwise be achieved through strict application of this code. PROJECT SUMMARY The City has received an application for a sketch plan showing a 21-lot single-family rural residential on the site. The site is in the northeast quadrant of the community, approximately three quarters of a mile north of the intersection of 161" Avenue NW and Crosstown Boulevard NW. The site is bordered by the railroad tracks on the west side of the site and Ward Lake Drive on the east side of the property. The Country Oaks North residential development is just west of railroad tracks and so the homes from that mixed urban/rural residential development back up to the development site. The site also abuts the Deerwood Estates rural residential development along the southerly side of the proposed development site. Fi;uru I—Ac°riul pli-ono DISCUSSION This section will review some of the site characteristics and processes for the proposed development shown on the sketch plan. For this concept to move forward, several actions would need to occur including: • Preliminary Plat • Conditional Use Permit /Planned Unit Development (CUP/PUD) • Final Plat • Building permits GENERAL Conformance with Local and Regional Plans and Ordinances 1. The entire 33.7-acre site (11-32-24-41-0003) is located outside of the Metropolitan Urban Service Area (MUSA) boundary. 2. The property is guided in the 2018 Comprehensive Plan as Rural Residential, a designation that calls for densities of 0.0 to 0.4 units per acre. The proposed 21-lot development would exceed that standard with a density of 0.6 units per acre. 3. The proposed development includes deviations from City Codes that are proposed to be addressed through the PUD process. 2 Pegure L - Zoning and NLU Maps SITE CHARACTERISTICS Access The proposed sketch plan shows two access points; one at the south end of the development on Sycamore Street, and the other at the northeastern portion of the development accessing Ward Lake Drive. The proposed access points are identified as red circles on the following map. Future development to the north (not proposed) would provide another possible connection point which is also shown as a red circle (dashed lines).
