Specifically, the requests are to: 1. amend the Comprehensive Plan to reguide property from rural residential to single family residential; 2. to rezone the property from Rural Residential (RR) to Urban Residential (R-IB); and 3. to extend MUSA to be able to serve Beckrich Park Estates with urban services. The subject site is located at the northeast corner of County Road 78 and County Road 79. Please see Exhibits A and B for location and details. The Beckrich Park Estates development is approximately 74 acres in size. The property owners within Beckrich Park Estates are requesting the reguiding, rezoning and extension of services in order to be able to sell off a portion of the open space within their development. The land located directly east ofBeckrich Park Estates (formerly part of the Marschall Farm) is the subject of an application with the City requesting preliminary plat 1 approval. Attached as Exhibit C is a copy of that preliminary plat. The preliminary plat application does include some ofthe property currently designated as open space within the Beckrich Park Estates Planned Unit Development (PUD). The preliminary plat application depicts the area currently designated as open space in Beckrich Park Estates as a road connection and additional single family residential lots to be served by municipal services. The area proposed for inclusion in the preliminary plat is approximately 1.27 acres in size. Staffhas contacted the Metropolitan Council to inquire about the impact of extension of the MUSA to Beckrich Park Estates on the City's MUSA allocation. With the approval of the current land use plan, the Metropolitan Council approved a 2186 acre MUSA allocation to the City. Approximately 1660 acres of that allocation remains available. The Metropolitan Council has informed staff that any extension of MUS A boundary (whether serving existing developments or new developments) would be deducted from the City's allocation. IfMUSA were extended to serve Beckrich Park Estates, Hillwood Estates (the development directly north ofBeckrich Park) would be sandwiched between developments with urban services. In addition, staffhas reason to believe that other rural residential plats may be interested in obtaining urban services. Staffviews this application as having two separate issues. One is the mechanism to allow a portion of Beckrich Park's open space to be included with the proposed Valley Creek Crossing. The second issue is the request to rezone and extend MUSA to the existing Beckrich Park Estates. After consulting with the City Attorney, staffhas been advised that the transaction of the open space area to be included with Valley Creek Crossing can be accomplished through the Final Plat of Valley Creek Crossing. As a part of that development, the open space area to be sold would have to be reguided for single family residential development, rezoned to an appropriate zone, and MUSA extended to it. As a follow up, the Planning Commission would need to adopt a resolution amending the Planned Unit Development (PUD) for Beckrich Park Estates memorializing the change in open space. Based on the determination of Met Council that the use of MUSA allocation for existing developments, staff does not believe that extension of services to existing developments is an appropriate use of MUS A allocation at this time. Staff feels this issue is of a magnitude that requires further review and research to determine alternatives to address zoning and extension of services to existing, unsewered developments. STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends that the Planning Commission offer a motion to recommend approval to the City Council of the reguiding of property from Rural Residential to Single Family Residential, the extension of MUS A, and the rezoning from Rural Residential (RR) to Urban Residential (R- IB) Zone for the property proposed for inclusion in the proposed Valley Creek Crossing development and direct staff to bring back a resolution to address the amendment to the PUD of Beckrich Park Estates. Additionally, staff recommends that the Planning Commission offer a motion to recommend denial of the request to reguide, extend MUSA, and rezone the remainder of Beckrich Park 2 Estates at this time and direct staff to research the issue of extension of services and zoning classifications for existing rural residential developments. ALTERNATIVES: 1. Recommend approval to the City Council of the reguiding~ rezoning and extension of MUSA to Beckrich Park Estates, contingent upon approval from the Metropolitan Council of the guiding change. 2. Recommend approval to the City Council of the reguiding, rezoning and extension of MUSA to a PORTION ofBeckrich Park Estates, contingent upon the approval from the Metropolitan Council. 3. Recommend denial to the City Council of the reguiding, rezoning, and extension of MUS A to Beckrich Park Estates. 4. Continue the public hearing to allow staff additional time to research issues. 5. Direct staff to prepare a resolution to address the amendment to the PUD of Beckrich Park Estates. 6. Continue the public hearing to another date to allow staff additional time to research issues. 7. Close the public hearing, but table the matter and request additional information. ACTION REQUESTED: Offer and approve the following motions: 1. To recommend approval to the City Council of the reguiding of property from Rural Residential to Single Family Residential, the extension of MUSA, and.the rezoning from Rural Residential (RR) to Urban Residential (R-IB) Zone for the property proposed for inclusion in the proposed Valley Creek Crossing development and direct staff to bring back a resolution to address the amendment to the PUD ofBeckrich Park Estates. 2. To offer a motion to recommend denial to the City Council of the request to reguide, extend MUS A, and rezone the remainder of Beckrich Park Estates at this time and direct staff to research the issue of extension of services and zoning classifications for existing rural residential developments.

" OBJECTION TO REZONING PROPOSAL - . To: John Schmitt, Joseph Helkamp, Terry Joos, Steve Menden, Matt Lehman, Ryan Magin, Larry Meilleur, Steve Clay, Deb Amundson, Gayl Madigan, Mary Romansky, Michael Willard and Julie Klima In early April we were given notice that the Shakopee Planning Commission will be meeting to consider application by Beckrich Park Estates for the amendments to the Comprehensive Plan and for the rezoning of property. The comprehensive plan amendments propose the reguiding of property from rural residential to single family residential and the extension of the Metropolitan Urban Service Area boundary (MUSA). The rezoning proposes a change from Rural Residential (RR) to Urban Residential (Rl B) for all of Beckrich Park Estates including property on Barrington Drive, Can"iage Circle, Cortland Circle and Hampton Circle. As a life-long resident of Shako pee and, more importantly, of nearby Hillwood Estates, this proposal concerns us significantly. When Beckrich Park Estates was zoned Rural Residential (RR) as a planned unit development, it was required there be an average of 2.5-acres per household including the open spaces. Moreover, there was a similar 2.5- acre requirement for the adjacent Hillwood Estates development. Allowing there to be five houses per acre in between and in the midst ofth~se 2.5-acre plots would be morally irresponsible, beyond comprehension and not very prudent, especially given the original intent of the 2.5-acre land owners and the vast amount of high density housing already in Shakopee. Furthermore, if the proposed rezoning for Beckrich Park Estates would be allowed. property owners would he ahle to snhc1ivic1e their existing 2.5-ncre lots nnd huild an additionaL 11.5 houses on the origi.nal 2.5-acrc lot. Although this is sUlll~what unrealistic, adding even one additional hO\.1Re on these lots would ~ compktely di:-;hcarh,miug, as it would deslroy the originul illlCllllOIl~i (lIthe JCVdllplllclIt alld tile reason a majority of the owners purchased the land to begin with.; space. Therefore, we feel this property should not be rezoned and/or reclassitied as Rl B. Even if the rezoning would be allowed at the RIA level, property owners would still be able to subdivide their property into three houses per acre. This clearly would go against the character and the original intention of the development. We do not object to Beckrich Park Estate being included in the MUSA boundary, but we do object to how the rezoning would negatively affect the area. We realize that every town needs an appropriate balance of high/low density housing, but it seems like over the past several years Shakopee has allowed a .significant amqunt of high-density housing. However, we were sincerely encouraged as we listened to the controlled growth proclamations of those recently elected. It is our opinion that a new zoning classification should be created for areas that are RR ' but are being added to the MUSA boundary. As Shakopee continues to grow, there wiU be nwnerous similar scenarios where rezoning will be required to convert existing rural water and septic systems to city water and septic systems. As such and sin1ilar to other cities, Shakopee should have a rezoning classification to be solely utilized to facilitate the cOI1version from rural water and septic to city water and septic. As such, we would be extremely appreciative ifyolL could ensure that the properties of Beckrich Park retain their current RR classification acre requirements, therefore, preserving the area's integrity, character and original intent.

The comprehensive plan amendments propose the reguiding ofproperty from rural residential to single family residential and the extension of the Metropolitan Urban Service Area (MUSA) boundary. The rezoning proposes a change from Rural Residential (RR) to Urban Residential (RIB) for all ofBeckrich Park Estates. This recent request for Beckrich Park Estates to rezone from Rural Residential to Urban Residential (RIB) causes concern for the people living in the Hillwood Estates area. Prom what we have been able to find out, the reason for this rezoning is for the desire of Beckrich Park Estates to become connected to city water and sewer. A confusing point is that a five-acre parcel of land, not owned by Beckrich Park Estates, but another individual, is also included in this rezoning. The concern is that by rezoning, this would allow the owner of the five-acre parcel to subdivide the land and build multiple homes (up to 25 homes per the proposed zoning classification) on the property. This would also allow the landowners in Beckrich Park Estates to subdivide their lots and allow even more homes in the area. Allowing this to happen in an area that has primarily 2.5 acres per parcel does not make practical sense and would go against the initial intentions ofthe people living in the area. I don't believe it is the intention ofthe people of Beckrich Park Estates to subdivide their properties, but circumstances change and this could very well happen in the future. The people in the Hillwood Estates area moved and built here because ofthe bigger lot sizes, more open space and more privacy is provides. With the rapid growth of Shakopee and rapid increase in high density housing already taking place just to the north of Hillwood Estates, as well as multiple other areas of the city, we have a deep concem that we will loose this open space and privacy we once had if the rezoning is allowed to take place. We fully expected that at some point in the future someone would build homes on the five acre parcel just to the south of Hill wood Estates, but we would hope that the existing layout of the surrounding area with larger lot sizes would be preserved. To allow multiple homes to be built between subdivisions created as 2.5 acre lots would be terribly wrong, look out of place and deter from the aesthetic layout of the larger lots in the surrounding area. We understand that under existing code or rules, in order for property owners to be connected to city water and sewer, they must be zoned as Urban Residential. We have also found out that there is no solid reasoning for this code or ruling? If water and sewer were brought into the area and Beckrich Park Estates wanted to connect, why couldn't they do so while staying in a Rural Residential zoning? Can there be a change to the code allowing this? Could they be included in the MUSA, remain a Rural Residential classification, and still allow to be connected to water and sewer? The people in Hillwood Estates do not want to prevent Beckrich Park Estates from connecting to city water and sewer if they desire, but the possibility of multiple small lots does create a deep concern for us. It would go against the original intent of the development and negatively affect the character of the area originally intended for larger 2.5 acre lots. I have only been a resident of Shakopee for about 3 ~ years now. We moved here because it still had the small town atmosphere. Over this short 3 ~ years, I have personally seen a big change in the city, which concerns me. With the high density housing to the north ofHi11wood Estates taking place, traffic in the area has noticeably increased and problem intersections have already shown up due to this high-density housing influx. I understand that there is a balance between high and low-density , housing; and if done correctly can. still preserve some of.the small town atmosphere: '1 believe the key to this is slower, more controlled growth. While I am disappointed in this rapid, high density housing boom, I am also encouraged to see more elected officials who want to control this growth better. We in the Hi11wood Estates area would greatly appreciate your consideration in this matter. Please take a close look at what can be done to satisfy everyone involved without dismpting the zoning and potentially the character of the area that has predominantly larger lot sizes. Thank you for your time and consideration in this matter. Respectfully, .{J~ i ~b~t- Brian L Mandt L -t . f '7l' P' Cindy I~~'dt ,:; . 'f "".<4/1[-
