Mayor of the City of Shakopee ATTEST: City Clerk 3 / '/. ff, CITY OF SHAKOPEE Memorandum TO: Mayor and City Council Mark McNeill, City Administrator FROM: Julie Klima, Planner II SUBJECT: Preliminary Plat of Park Meadows MEETING DATE: February 3, 2004 CASELOG NO.: 03-116 REVIEW PERIOD: September 25, 2003- February 5, 2004 DISCUSSION Centex Homes and Gonyea Land Company have made application for preliminary plat approval for the proposed Park Meadows. The proposed plat is located north of Valley View Road and west of CSAH 83. This plat proposes the construction of 195 single family detached homes on approximately 80 acres. A public hearing on this request was held by the Planning Commission on November 6, December 4,2003, and January 8,2004. A copy of the most recent report to the Planning Commission is attached for the Council's information. Initially, the review period for this application was set to expire on January 23,2004. However, due to outstanding issues, the applicant provided the City with an extension of the review period to February 5,2004. At the time of preparation of this memo, one outstanding issue remains. This issue being Thrush Street (along the northern boundary of the plat). The preliminary plat before the Council illustrates a roadway that straddles the property line between Centex and the property owner to the north, Shakopee Gravel, Inc. (SGI). SGI has not consented to providing either an easement or right-of-way to accommodate the illustrated alignment. The second option for the roadway, would be to curve the roadway to the south at the northwest corner of the plat to allow the roadway to be constructed entirely within this plat. This option, as well, would require that easements and/or property be acquired from SGI to accommodate the curve in the northwest corner of the plat. Centex Homes and SGI have not yet reached an agreement on this issue. On January 23, Centex provided to the City drawings of2 options for Thrush Street. One indicated the need for cooperation with SGI and the other illustrated Thrush Street encroaching into what is now the Greenfield park area (the northeast corner ofthe park) and then continuing Thrush Street entirely within the Park Meadows plat. After reviewing these 1 documents, staff informed Centex that the Greenfield option was not acceptable for the following reasons: 1. That option utilized land which has been set aside for park purposes; 2. Thrush Street has been constructed to the common property line of Greenfield and the proposed Park Meadows. Therefore, this alignment would require the existing street to be tom out and reconstructed. A meeting had been scheduled with Centex Homes for January 27. After reviewing the options provided by Centex, staff contacted Centex and conveyed that staff did not see a reason to meet since the Greenfield option was not preferable and SGI has not consented to the option impacting their land. Centex insisted that a meeting be held so that they could present their ideas. Several staff members waited for Centex representatives at the scheduled meeting time. After the scheduled meeting time had passed, staff contacted Centex staff, who informed staff that Centex would not be attending the meeting. Since that time (January 27) staffhas not received any further communication from Centex Homes relative to them reaching an agreement with SGI. PLANNING COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION At its January 8 meeting, the Planning Commission recommended denial, by a 5 to 1 vote, ofthe Preliminary Plat to the City Council due to outstanding issues and the applicant's unwillingness to grant an extension to the review period. The outstanding issues on January 8 included Thrush Street and stormwater issues. The stormwater concerns have been addressed sufficiently at this time. Due to the Commission's recommendation, the attached resolution for denial has been drafted for the Council's consideration. ALTERNATIVES l. Approve Resolution No. 6001, a resolution denying the preliminary plat of Park Meadows. 2. Obtain an extension to the review period from the applicant and direct the preparation of a resolution approving the preliminary plat of Park Meadows, subject to conditions that would resolve the remaining issues. ACTION REQUESTED Offer a motion consistent with Alternative 1, and move its adoption. ~ ' uiiv ~ J 'e Klima Planner II g:\cc\2004\02-03\ppcent03116.doc 2 RESOLUTION NO. 6001 A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY OF SHAKOPEE, MINNESOTA DENYING THE PRELIMINARY PLAT OF PARK MEADOWS WHEREAS, Centex Homes, applicant, and BAJ Investments, property owner, have made application for preliminary plat approval of Park Meadows; and WHEREAS, the subject properties are legally described as: The West Half of the Southwest Quarter of Section 16, Township 115 North, Range 22 West, Scott County, Minnesota AND all that part of the abandoned Chicago, Milwaukee, St. Paul and Pacific Railroad per Document No. 178639 lying in the Northwest Quarter of Section 16, Township 115, Range 22, Scott County, Minnesota, AND all that part of the abandoned Chicago, Milwaukee, St. Paul, and Pacific Railroad per Document No. 178639 lying in the Southeast Quarter of Section 17, Township 115, Range 22, Scott County, Minnesota; and WHEREAS, the Shakopee Planning Commission conducted a public hearing on the preliminary plat on November 6, 2003, December 4, 2003 and January 8, 2004; and WHEREAS, all required public notices regarding the public hearing were posted and sent; and WHEREAS, the Shakopee Planning Commission has recommended denial of the requested preliminary plat based on the finding listed below; and WHEREAS, the City Council reviewed the preliminary plat request at its meeting of February 3, 2004.

WSB Project No. 1281-64 We have reviewed the information provided by Westwood Professional Services, Inc. This information including the following: . Two Revised Preliminary Plat Sets, dated 11/22/03 . Existing Conditions and Proposed Conditions Drainage Area Maps, dated 11/22/03 . Volume Calculations fotthe 2.S-inch storm event . Ponding Calculations fort the 2- year, 10- year, and 100 - year; 24-hour storm events , . Ponding Calculations for the 10-day, 100-year snow melt event . Storm Sever Drainage Area Map, dated 11/22/03 . Strom Sewer Design Calculations, revised 11/22/03 Based on this review, we offer the following comments: Hvdrologic/Hydraulic Model . The site is predominantly Type B soils, approximately <10% are Type A soils in the vicinity of the proposed infiltration basin. . The proposed development site is 80.75 acres. C:\Documents and Settings\JSwentek\Local Settings\Temporary Intemet Files\OLKl 97\1 202031S2.doc . . . e Joe Swentek City of Sltakopee Decemher 4, 2003 Page 2 . The lot density is approximately 3.06 units /acres, which corresponds to a curve number range of 69 - 71, which is deemed appropriate for the density of the development. The runoff rate entering the proposed pond appears reasonable. . The water quality "dead pool" ponding volume required to comply with NURP recommendations is approximately 2.8 acre-feet for the 2.S-inch rainfall event. The current pond proposes approximately 2.8 acre-feet between elevations 806 to 808 and approximately 30 acre-feet between the bottom of the pond and NWL of816.0. . Proposed pond appears to have side slope of approximately 4: 1 with 1: 10 for safety bench at the NWL. This appears consistent with the City's requirements. . The lots adjacent to the treatment pond in Block 4 should not be platted into pond drainage easement area or ponding area. . Calculations are provided for the 100-year, 24-hour rainfall event and the 100-year, 10-day snowmelt event. Calculations provided currently begin at hour 12 ofthe 24- hour event. Please provide calculations beginning at hour 1.0. This could effect the anticipated I DO-year high water level. . Please provide calculations for the back-to-back 100-year, 24-hour rainfall event . Should the developer desire to have standing water within the pond, a pond linear could be added to provide standing dead pool storage to the NURP volume. . The pond area used to provide NURP treatment cannot be used in detennining the discharge rate though infiltration for the pond. This will affect the infiltration calculations provided. Please see attached infiltration design parameters below for possible alternatives to address this issue. . This pond will be considered a Class V injection well and does require a pennit from the MPCA. Storm Sewer Calculations . The 36-inch RCP inlet at FES 70 is submerged 1 foot. This does not appear to adversely affect the stonn sewer system hydraulic perfonnance. This pipe segment may require more frequent maintenance due to freeze-thaw cycles. . CBMH 82 to CBMH 79 is an 800-foot reach with a 12-inch Rep pipe connecting to the Greeenfield development emergency overflow. The flow in this pipe does not reach self-cleaning velocities. lfthe pipe was increased to an I8-inch Rep, a velocity of2 ft.lsec. would be achieved, although 3 ft./sec. is preferred. . The time of concentration used for road DA -1 appears to be too high, a value of lO minutes is more reasonable. C:\Documents and SettingsVSwentek\Local Settings\Temporary Intemet Files\OLK 197\120203JS2.doc - " e e Joe Swelztek City of Sltakopee December 4, 2003 Page 3 Storm Sewer Plan Onsite issues . Low floor building opens in Block 2 lots 1-4 in DA-1 are I-foot below the 100 HWL and may not comply with City Policy regarding basement floor elevation of need to be 2 feet above the 1 OO-year high surface water elevation for the area (policy 8c- Section IV of the stormwater plan). . The drainage areas defined in the "post-development micro area drainage plan" appear to be correct. Offsite drainage issues . Drainage areas 3, 4, 5, and 6 drain off-site beyond the limits ofthe development. No discussion has been provided to indicate the downstream impacts of thi~ drainage. Ifpossible, drainage should be maintained on-site. . Drainage areas 5 and 6, which are approximately 8.06 acres, discharge to the west and were not previously included in the calculations for stormwater infiltration basin in the Greenfield development. General .. The infiltration rate used in the drainage calculations from the pond is I-inch per hour. This appears reasonable, but soil testing by a certified geotechnical firm should be used to verify this rate prior to final design. The total infiltration surface area provided is approximately 3 acres and currently includes the pond area required to provide NURP treatment. . Consideration should be given to an Emergent /Upland Vegetated Buffer placed at elevation above temporary storage area. This will minimize erosion potential of the pond slopes. . Recreational Trail is to be located close to a 1 Q-feet deep pond. Consider visual buffer using vegetation around pond for safety. The pond does include a 10: I safety bench. . Is there a way to utilize Outlot A in the northwest portion of the property for infiltration? Attached is a concept for under pond infiltration. This system provides pretreatment of storm water prior to infiltration. Should you have any questions, please feel free to contact llS at 763541-4800.

Cemex Homes submitted a. prelimirw'ypl9.t application to the Oty of Shakopee on September 25, 2003. We were' notified withiJ.l five days ~t our a.pplicatlon is complete a!ld the review' period will be e),.'tended by an additional 60 da.ys for a. total of 120 da.y review period. Since then, Centex: l-Iomes has, made every effort to work closely with staff to make requeSted changes to the plans so thcycan be fo~d to the Pla.a.olng Commission for consideration. Mer reviewing the staff report for January S, 2004 Planning Commission Meeting, I see the recommendation is to haveCenrex Homes submit a letter authorizing the continuation (beyond the 120 review period) of the application to Feb~ 5, 2004 meeting. Under mOSt circumstances provicling this letter could be accomplished. J.-Iowever, CenteX :Homes contnctu:l! obligatioDS with the seller'\l7ill not allow for further el.'tension. of this a.pplication. I :ull respectively requesting the staff and Pla.nning Commission t.':ke action on our preliminary plat ;tpplic.aoon at the January 8, 2004 meeting. Based on the changes we have made to the plans that comply with mlf recommenda.tions and the few minor revisions remmung I believe it would be reasonable to have a. conditional a.pproval of the prc~ plat. As I undersund, the prinury issue centers on revised starm'\v,l.ter d.culauons, which we have provided based on, requested pl:m changes bystaff. Cenrex undersunds the calcula.tions need to ultimately be approved by WSB and the city and if there are changes required to pl:lt they will be made.
