PLANNING APPLICATION ITEMS 6a) Planning Commission Application No. 2019-006 (Public Hearing) Applicant: Real Estate Equities Property Address: 5801 Xerxes Avenue North Summary: The Applicant is requesting a Planned Unit Development (PUD) and Zoning Map amendment to remove this property from the Central Commerce Overlay District in PC Minutes 05-16-19 -2- DRAFT order to construct a total of 270 new dwelling units in a two-building development on approximately 4.8 acres Jane Kansier, Senior Planner with Bolton & Menk, Inc., stated she is helping out while City Planner Ginny McIntosh is on leave. Ms. Kansier reviewed a request for a Planned Unit Development (PUD) and Zoning Map amendment for the former Jerry’s Foods site at 5801 Xerxes Avenue North. The property is currently zoned in the C-2 Commerce District but the Applicant is requesting an amendment to the Zoning Map so that the property can be re-zoned as a Planned Unit Development, which is intended to allow flexibility from the underlying zoning district. The PUD would allow higher flexibility and a higher quality development. The Zoning Map Amendment would also remove the site from the Central Commerce Overlay District, in which residential uses are not permitted. The proposed development is comprised of two buildings – a 4-story workforce housing apartment building as well as a 5-story affordable independent senior living apartment building – with a total of 270 units. The proposed landscape plan meets Landscape Point System Policy requirements. A traffic study was completed in February 2019 as part of this proposal. The study showed a total of 1,164 new trips would be generated on an average weekday. Proposed on-site parking of 345 spaces would accommodate expected peak parking demand of 235 spaces. City Staff received one call and four letters from members of the public related to this development. The concerns that were expressed were: the site is too small; there is already a high concentration of apartments in Brooklyn Center; and increased traffic congestion. Conditions of approval include site improvements that will require City Council approval. These include a more prominent entry on the south side of the south building to provide a better access and a connection to Bass Lake Road. The City engineering review resulted in conditions for approval including a review of the right of way at Xerxes Avenue to provide adequate site distance and dedication of a sidewalk easement. The City’s public art consultant will work with the applicant on creative placemaking to enhance pedestrian access to the transit station. City Staff recommends that the Planning Commission recommend approval of the PUD and Zoning Map amendment for 5801 Xerxes Avenue N. Alex Bisanz, representing Real Estate Equities (REE), gave a presentation on the proposed project, including design aspects and site plan layout. He stated REE is a development company based in St. Paul, with properties in Minnesota, Wisconsin and Indiana, with a primary focus on the Twin Cities. He added REE are long-term owners and managers and will own the property for at least 20 years, with full-time on-site team management. He noted this is an exceptional PC Minutes 05-16-19 -3- DRAFT location, and potential development will mean a $60 million investment in the City of Brooklyn Center. Mr. Bisanz stated that potential quality residential development at the proposed location is vital to ensure that people of lower income can have a high-quality place to live. Mr. Bisanz stated the site has exceptional access to services and amenities as well as connections to major roadways, transit, and easy access to shopping and amenities. The project includes proposed solar panels on the roof of both buildings, which will be built to Minnesota Green Community Standards. A security guard is being considered at least initially. The proposed project would be designed with a sense of community, including an outdoor herb garden and gazebo, children’s tot lot play area, dog run, and outdoor community gathering spaces. Fencing is being considered but is currently not part of the project. OPEN TO PUBLIC COMMENTS – APPLICATION NO. 2019-006 There was a motion by Commissioner Koenig, seconded by Commissioner Tade, to open the public hearing on Application No. 2019-006, at 7:26 p.m. The motion passed unanimously. Carol Kleven, 5835 Xenith Avenue N, stated she does not support a five-story building in the neighborhood. She added she is not against having apartments there, but a five-story building is too tall. She noted she would like it to be reduced to 3 stories. She added she and her neighbors would be looking at this building all the time, instead of being able to see farther away, and there would be a lot more traffic on Xerxes Avenue. Pat Cooper, 5918 Abbott, stated she agrees that 5 floors is too high and would create too much congestion on that corner. She added Brooklyn Center already has so many apartments, and senior living facilities that are not fully occupied. She noted families who rent are not vested in their community. Ms. Cooper stated she would like to see affordable housing such as townhomes that people would purchase. Harlan Daudt, 6000 York Avenue, stated he is against the proposed development. He added the City of Brooklyn Center has enough apartments. He noted the transit center causes all kinds of problems and adding more rental properties will make it worse and require more police there. He expressed support for the idea of townhomes. He asked whether the developers are getting tax subsidies. Paula Champagne, 6436 Kyle Avenue N, stated the area is zoned for Commercial use. She added the larger 3-bedroom apartments will attract families, and that is not a good place to raise kids. She noted fencing makes it appear that it is not a safe place. She asked how the dog run would be regulated, and what kinds of dogs would be allowed. She asked who will hold liability PC Minutes 05-16-19 -4- DRAFT insurance for the tot lot. She expressed support for townhouses, but it seems like this is a done deal. Thana Aikens, 6260 Brooklyn Drive, expressed concern about parking on the site. She added many homes have up to 9 cars. She noted no one knows how many people will be living in the apartments, and they all drive cars. Michael Stokes, 2900 Montford Road, asked whether the development is a done deal. Chair Christensen stated the Planning Commission makes recommendations to the City Council, and nothing is a done deal until it is done. Ryan Campbell, 5912 Beard Avenue, asked whether the City has any statistics on crime at apartments. Chair Christensen stated City Staff has access to statistics. Mr. Campbell stated that would be interesting information to have before the Planning Commission makes a decision. MOTION TO CLOSE PUBLIC COMMENTS (HEARING) There was a motion by Commissioner MacMillan, seconded by Commissioner Sweeney, to close the public hearing on Application No. 2019-006 at 7:46 p.m. The motion passed unanimously. Chair Christensen called for questions and comments from Commissioners. Commissioner Koenig asked whether it is possible to limit the size and breed of dogs that will be permitted in the dog run. Mr. Bisanz confirmed this, adding REE has a 25-pound weight restriction on animals and a breed restriction on dogs. Commissioner Tade requested clarification regarding underground parking. Mr. Bisanz stated each building will have its own underground parking. He added the gray area between the buildings is surface parking. Chair Christensen asked how tax subsidies will be applied. Mr. Bisanz stated REE is applying for Tax Increment Financing, which is necessary for any affordable project. He added that is one of the financial viability aspects of the project. Chair Christensen asked whether many projects go through TIF financing. Community Development Director Meg Beekman stated the City uses Tax Increment Financing for a number of developments. She added the concept is that the project is constructed and the value of the project in tax capacity is greater than the property in its current condition. She noted the project must meet the “but for” test – which means the developer has to prove that the project would not be able to be financially feasible “but for” the use of public subsidy. PC Minutes 05-16-19 -5- DRAFT Chair Christensen asked whether insurance coverage is the responsibility of the developer. Mr. Bisanz confirmed this. Chair Christensen stated residents expressed concern about increased traffic. Mr. Bizans stated the site is underutilized and the development will not be a burden on the roads. More traffic was generated when Jerry’s Foods was on the site than will be generated by a residential development. He added the original site and road system was built for a larger capacity than what is being proposed. Chair Christensen stated one of the residents’ concerns was that there are too many senior complexes in Brooklyn Center. He added this has been an issue that the Planning Commission has reviewed in the past. Chair Christensen stated it is unclear whether a fence is necessary. He added he understands the importance of an inviting appearance. He noted there are other ways to work to ensure the area is safe and secure without a fence, and he is not in favor of a fence. Commissioner Schonning stated the Planning Commission reviewed this proposal at its previous meeting, and many Commissioners raised concerns that have since been addressed by the developer. He noted the Planning Commission does not take these issues lightly, and this is a very important piece of property within the community. Commissioner Schonning stated this is a decent use for the property, which is close to amenities and transit. He added putting 300 more people into an area will change the community in many ways, but that isn’t necessarily a bad thing. He agreed that a fence would be an issue, and could be a problem. He noted the site has been empty for a long time and is in need of redevelopment. Chair Christensen asked whether there is a timeline for completion. Mr. Bisanz stated it is anticipated that REE will close on the property in December 2019, with units ready to lease in April 2021. Chair Christensen asked whether a 3-story building is a possibility, instead of 5 stories. Mr. Bisanz stated the project at 3 stories would not be financially feasible due to the reduced density. Commissioner Koenig asked whether townhomes or condos are financially feasible. Mr. Bisanz stated REE does not do for sale condos or townhomes. He added the land price expectations of the owner make that type of development difficult, and the density would be lower. Commissioner Koenig asked about subsidies for the workforce housing, and whether it would be a “section 8 building” as some have said. Mr. Bisanz stated the development is not a project- based section 8 development, which is what is being referred to when people say that. He added the proposal is for workforce housing, and some tenants may receive assistance through housing choice vouchers. The difference is that the subsidy for this development comes in at the front end in the form of assistance with the capital construction costs. This allows the project to be built to the same standards as other market rate apartment buildings, but to be rented at rents that are far PC Minutes 05-16-19 -6- DRAFT below market rents for new construction. Renters in the building must meet income qualifications in order to qualify to live there, but they also must have a minimum income in order to pay their rent. Commissioner Tade stated another City meeting was scheduled for tonight, and some residents were not able to attend tonight’s Planning Commission meeting. She asked whether the City’s residents received sufficient notice of this meeting. Community Development Director Meg Beekman stated the Garden City neighborhood meeting, scheduled by the Police Department, is also taking place tonight. She added the Planning Commission meeting is set each year and must be strictly adhered to due to planning application deadlines and process. Mr. Bisanz stated the concerns of a resident, Judy Thorbus, were referenced in the staff report. He added he contacted Ms. Thorbus and answered her questions. A member of the audience asked why the Planning Commission meeting agenda, including notice of public hearing, is not available on the City’s website. Ms. Beekman stated there is some information about the Planning Commission meeting and agenda on the City website. She added she concurs that the City website should have more information about development projects on it. She noted City Staff are working on an interactive online map with links to development projects and additional information. She expressed agreement that the website needs to be improved, and a list of projects could be added in the meantime. Commissioner Koenig stated he is pro-development, but there are many legitimate concerns related to this location, including the building sizes, increased traffic and the nearby transit station. He added he does not believe this will be the best use of the property in the long term, although it is a great project for now. Commissioner Koenig stated there may be issues that come up with this proposed development, but it has the potential to be a positive development for the City. He added Mr. Bisanz had stated that people of lower income deserve high quality apartments, and he absolutely agrees with that statement. Commissioner Koenig stated he plans to vote against the development. He added he believes that it will be a nice building and the developer will do a great job. Ms. Beekman stated the two requests associated with this proposal - PUD for the project itself and Zoning map amendment removing the property from the Central Commerce Overlay District – can be combined into a single motion or two separate motions. PC Minutes 05-16-19 -7- DRAFT Ms. Beekman stated the Central Commerce Overlay District encompasses this site, and its specific permitted uses do not include residential use. She added City Staff recommend removal of this parcel rather than going through the lengthier process of removing or redrafting the Central Commerce Overlay District itself. She noted land use designation will supersede zoning when the Comprehensive Plan is adopted. ACTION TO RECOMMEND APPROVAL OF PLANNING COMMISSION RESOLUTION NO. 2019-006 REGARDING THE RECOMMENDED DISPOSITION OF PLANNING COMMISSION APPLICATION NO. 2019-006 There was a motion by Commissioner MacMillan, seconded by Commissioner Sweeney, to approve Planning Commission RESOLUTION NO. 2019-006 Regarding the Recommended Disposition of Planning Commission Application No. 2019-006. Voting in favor: Chair Christensen, Commissioners, MacMillan, Schonning, and Sweeney. And the following voted against the same: Commissioners Koenig and Tade. The motion carried 4-2. Ms. Beekman stated the first reading of the PUD will take place on May 28, 2019, with the second reading and public hearing on June 10, 2019. 6b) Planning Commission Application No. 2019-007 Applicant: Nate Reinhardt (City of Brooklyn Center) Property Address: 1350 Shingle Creek Crossing Summary: The Applicant is requesting site and building plan review for construction of a new municipal liquor store in the Shingle Creek Crossing Development. Associate Planner Joe Hartmann reviewed the site and building plan review related to the relocation of Liquor Store #1 to 1350 Shingle Creek Crossing from 5625 Xerxes Avenue N. He stated a purchase agreement with Gatlin Development was approved by the City Council in January 2019, and a proposed new building would house a 9,600 square foot municipal liquor store with other space available for lease. He added the new location would provide more parking, a secure internal layout and better visibility than its current location. He noted a traffic and parking study completed by Kimley Horn Consultants recommends traffic calming improvements to reduce vehicle speeds and increase pedestrian safety. Mr. Hartmann stated City Staff recommends that the Planning Commission recommends City Council approval of the site and building plan review for 1350 Shingle Creek Crossing. Commissioner Koenig requested clarification regarding the raised crosswalk depicted on the site plan. PC Minutes 05-16-19 -8- DRAFT Liquor Operation Manager Tom Agnes stated two crosswalks are proposed at sidewalk height to provide pedestrian crossing and reduce traffic speeds. He added the crosswalks are essentially speed bumps. Commissioner MacMillan expressed his support for the project, as parking at the current liquor store is not adequate. Commissioner Sweeney agreed. Commissioner Schonning requested clarification regarding the shaded area on the site plan across the street from the proposed building. Director of Fiscal & Support Services Nate Reinhardt stated parking is limited at this location, and the addition of the raised crosswalks will allow for parking to the northeast of the new liquor store. Chair Christensen asked whether the main entrance will be at the angled corner. Mr. Reinhardt confirmed that will be the only liquor store entrance. He added additional tenant space will have its own entrance. ACTION TO RECOMMEND APPROVAL OF PLANNING COMMISSION RESOLUTION NO. 2019-007 REGARDING THE RECOMMENDED DISPOSITION OF PLANNING COMMISSION APPLICATION NO. 2019-007 There was a motion by Commissioner Tade, seconded by Commissioner Koenig, to approve Planning Commission RESOLUTION NO. 2019-007, site and building plan review for construction of a new municipal liquor store in the Shingle Creek Crossing Development. Voting in favor: Chair Christensen, Commissioners, Koenig, MacMillan, Schonning, Sweeney, and Tade. And the following voted against the same: None The motion passed unanimously. The Council will consider the application at its May 28th, 2019 meeting. The Applicant must be present. Major changes to the application as reviewed by the Planning Commission will require that the application be returned to the Commission for reconsideration. 7. DISCUSSION ITEMS 7a) CITY COUNCIL MEETING UPDATES -None. 8. OTHER BUSINESS -None. PC Minutes 05-16-19 -9- DRAFT 9. ADJOURNMENT There was a motion by Commissioner Koenig, seconded by Commissioner Tade, to adjourn the Planning Commission meeting. The motion passed unanimously. The meeting adjourned at 8:50 p.m. _______________________________ _______________________________ Joe Hartmann, Interim Secretary Randall Christensen, Chair App. No. 2019-008 PC 06/13/2019 Page 1 Planning Commission Report Meeting Date: May 16, 2019 Application No. 2019-008 Applicant: Centra Homes Location: Generally south of 69th Avenue North, west of Highway 252, north of 68th Avenue North, and east of Aldrich Avenue North Request: Preliminary and final plat and Planned Unit Development (PUD) approval for a subdivision of land to allow 30 new single family lots and related roadway, stormwater, and utility improvements. Requested Action Centra Homes (“The Applicant”) is requesting preliminary and final plat approval for a subdivision of the currently un-platted parcels (“Subject Properties”) located just south of 69th Ave N and west of Highway 252 and a Planned Unit Development to allow 30 new single family lots and related stormwater, roadway, and utility improvements. As part of the project, the applicant proposes to construct 30 single family owner-occupied homes on the subject property. Background On December 10, 2018, the Economic Development Authority (EDA) adopted a resolution approving a Preliminary Development Agreement (PDA) with Centra Homes, LLC (City Council Resolution No. 2018- 17) for the proposed development of land owned by the EDA for the creation of a final plat, construction of single family homes and associated public infrastructure improvements including utilities, new roads, and storm water ponding. The EDA had previously received proposals to develop the property from three various firms. Centra Homes was selected as the preferred developer. Centra Homes had submitted two alternative development options for the EDA to consider. Option A provided for more lots, but on smaller lots which would require allowances from the City Code. Option B provided for slightly larger lots, but fewer homes. In both options the houses would be predominantly two-story, “move-up”, for-sale homes valued between $315,000 and $350,000. Option A allowed Centra Homes to offer a higher purchase price to the EDA for the land. The EDA determined that because mid-priced, “move-up”, owner- occupied homes represent a gap in Brooklyn Center’s housing stock, Option A, which would allow for more units, was the preferred option. This site proposes new public streets in the Firehouse neighborhood in an undeveloped area on lots owned by multiple parties. Camden Avenue N. and 5th Street N. will be extended to the north to a new 68th Lane N., which will connect to Aldrich Avenue N. Exhibit A includes a project narrative and plans. • Application Filed: 05/13/2019 • Review Period (60-day) Deadline: 07/12/2019 • Extension Declared: N/A • Extended Review Period Deadline: N/A App. No. 2019-008 PC 06/13/2019 Page 2 Hennepin County GIS. Joe Hartmann. Retrieved June 7th, 2019. As part of the application, a public hearing notice was published in the Brooklyn Center Sun Post and notices were mailed to owners of property within 350’ of the site (Exhibit B). As of the date of this report, the City has not received any comments from the public about this proposal. Site Data: 2040 Land Use Plan: Low-Density Residential Neighborhood: Firehouse Current Zoning: R-1 (Single Family Residence) Site Area: 7.55 acres Surrounding Area: Direction 2040 Land Use Plan Zoning Existing Land Use North High-Density Residential R-4 Multi-Family Housing Apartments South Low-Density Residential R-1 (One Family Residence) SF Detached East Right-of-Way Right-of-Way (State Highway) Major Highway West Low-Density Residential R-1 (One Family Residence) SF Detached Comprehensive Plan The 2040 Comprehensive Plan guides this property as Low Density Residential, which is defined as densities ranging from 3-5 dwelling units per acre. The proposed project has a density of 3.97 units per acre, which is consistent with the development pattern of the surrounding single family neighborhoods. The 2040 Comprehensive Plan also identifies the following Housing and Neighborhood Goals: • Promote a diverse housing stock that provides safe, stable, and accessibly housing options to all of Brooklyn Center’s residents. App. No. 2019-008 PC 06/13/2019 Page 3 • Recognize and identify ways to match Brooklyn Center’s housing with the City’s changing demographics. The 2040 Comprehensive Plan identifies a growing number of young families in Brooklyn Center; however, the Plan also identifies a lack of diversity in the single-family housing stock, with limited move- up housing options as families grow. The 2040 Comprehensive Plan identifies a need for more diverse housing options which would allow families to stay in Brooklyn Center and find varying housing options as their housing needs change. The proposed project would provide a housing type that would fulfill a segment of this gap. Zoning The Applicant submitted site plans for review as part of their proposal, along with stormwater management, utility, grading, drainage, and elevation plans. Staff reviewed the plans that were submitted and have provided comments for this report, below. Planned Unit Development The site is currently zoned R1 (One Family Residence). The Applicant is requesting the property be rezoned to a Planned Unit Development (PUD). PUDs grant flexibility within the zoning code to allow for developments which would not be allowed under the existing regulations. PUDs are often used to achieve a higher quality development, or achieve other City goals, in exchange for zoning flexibility from the City Code. The setbacks requested by the application are generally smaller than what is allowed by the code for R1- zoned properties. The PUD proposal is consistent with the 2040 Comprehensive Plan and would align with the City’s strategic goal of Targeted Redevelopment by providing a type of mid-market housing that would fill a need in the community for “move-up” housing stock. The type of product proposed within this development would feature 3 and 4-bedroom units at a mid-market price point, with an average sale price of $332,000. Site Design Initially, four new multi-Level homes will front the existing 69th Ave on the north side of the project area. The reason for this design is to blend in better with neighboring homes. Twenty-six two-story slab- on-grade homes will be created for the interior of the site. Each floorplan will have multiple exterior elevations and several color packages to provide variety to the neighborhood and streetscape. The Applicant indicates that all homes will have exterior stone, vinyl siding, board and batten or shakes, and 30-year shingles. Homes will feature tuck-under garages in lieu of detached units. Both housing types have multiple floor plan options to accommodate varying market demands. App. No. 2019-008 PC 06/13/2019 Page 4 Godden/ Sudik Architects. Joe Hartmann. Retrieved June7th, 2019. Setbacks The Applicant maintains that the proposed setbacks and layout allows for the most efficient use of the site, and responds to the current market demands of home buyers. All setbacks in the proposal are measured from the right-of-way (ROW) which is approximately 15 feet from the curb. The chart below compares the current setback requirements with the requested standards for the proposed PUD. Current Standard Requested Flexibility Lot Area (Sq. Ft.) Two-Story 9,500 / unit (interior lot) 10,500 / unit (corner lot) 6,560 / unit (interior lot) 7,891 / unit (corner lot) Lot Width (Ft.) 75 feet 50 feet Two-Story 65 feet Multi-Level Setbacks (Ft.) Two-Story Front: 35 feet (from ROW) Back: 25 feet Side: 10 feet (interior); 5 feet (garage); 25 feet (corner) Front: 25 feet (from ROW) Back: 30 feet Side: 5 feet (interior); 15 feet (corner) Setbacks (Ft.) Multi-Level Front: 35 feet Back: 25 feet Side: 10 feet (interior); 5 feet (garage) Front: 25 feet (from ROW) Back: 25 feet Side: 10 feet (house side); 5 feet (garage) In R1 neighborhoods, the front setback is typically 35 feet and the rear setback is 25 feet. The Applicant proposes a 30-foot rear setback and a 25-foot front yard setback for the interior two-story properties. This would make the rear yards larger than the front yards. Staff finds that the side and interior setback requirements are generally consistent with existing conditions for homes in other neighborhoods within Brooklyn Center. Generally, a 10-foot setback is App. No. 2019-008 PC 06/13/2019 Page 5 required for interior lots, but in R1 neighborhoods, a detached garage is permitted within as little as 5 feet from the property line if the structure meets certain requirements under the building code. The properties in the development will feature tuck-under garages, which would comply with the fire-rating requirements under the building code that would allow them to be built with the minimum 5-foot setback The requested standard width and total lot area for the units in this subdivision proposal is generally smaller than what is allowed within an R1 zone for both interior and corner lots. Because the Applicant is requesting homes be built on lots where the properties would feature larger backyards, Staff anticipates that this would provide residents with some privacy, given the smaller lots and closer proximity between units in the subdivision. Overall, staff does not anticipate a significant negative impact of the proposed setbacks. Architectural Materials The City has no architectural standards for residential buildings, but has determined that designs proposed are consistent with other residential areas. The Applicant is proposing Covenants, Conditions, and Restrictions (CC&Rs), which would be recorded against each lot within the Subdivision. These CC&Rs outline certain uses, exterior materials, and procedures that homeowners will be required to abide by. An Architectural Control Committee will be established to help maintain the exterior features and presence of Eastbrook Estates 2nd Addition. Access and Parking Driveways will be roughly 40’ (curb to garage door), allowing adequate space for two vehicles to park. Staff finds that this is design would fit the parking needs for most households with two vehicles, but notes that throughout the City, vehicle parking on the front lawn is a common code enforcement complaint due to the fact that many households in Brooklyn Center have more than 2 cars and utilize garages for storage. According to Section 19-103.14.b, driveways and paved or graveled extensions thereof may not exceed 50% of the front yard or a yard area abutting a public street. Based on review of plans, some driveways on lots within the subdivision as proposed may already exceed 50% of the front yard. Staff recommends as a condition of approval for the proposal that all properties on the development maintain a standard that the driveway shall be no wider than the garage. Landscaping All green areas on a site will be sodded except in areas where viable turf exists and is totally undisturbed by construction. The burden will be on the developer to prove at the time of a site inspection that the groundcover has been properly maintained and restored. The City does not have landscaping or tree removal standards for residential developments. The Applicant did submit a landscaping plan however as part of their application. Prior to construction, the Applicant will remove the trees currently on the development site. Upon completion of the homes, a planting schedule and landscaping plan submitted to the City indicates that 90 trees will be planted throughout the 30 single family parcels with a mix of overstory, coniferous, and ornamental varieties that Staff finds consistent with landscaping in other neighborhoods. Engineering Review: Andrew Hogg, Assistant City Engineer, reviewed plans and provided a comment memo, dated June 4th, App. No. 2019-008 PC 06/13/2019 Page 6 2019 (Exhibit C). All engineering comments must be addressed prior to the issuance of any permits for land disturbing activity. The developer will enter into a public improvement agreement which will outline the requirements for public infrastructure for the project. The developer will construct, at their expense, all roadways, stormwater, sewer connections, fire hydrants, and other utilities such as electric, water and sewer connections per City standards. The public infrastructure will be turned over to the City upon successful completion of the project. The proposed development provides two stormwater treatment features. There will be a treatment pond and an “iron infused” filtration basin. These stormwater treatment features will improve downstream stormwater quality by removing sediment and phosphorus. The outlot on the south side of the proposed subdivision would be utilized as a treatment pond that would be owned and maintained by the Homeowner’s Association (HOA). Fire Inspection/Building Review: As a condition of the approval for the proposed PUD, all properties shall be required to install gutters on each side of the building facing the side property lines. According to MN Res. Code 403.1, “lots shall be graded to drain surface water away from foundation walls. The grade shall fall a minimum of 6 inches within the first 10 feet.” Staff finds that this may be an issue with the different times of development on future lots, providing gutters on the sides of the building and discharging them to the front or rear will eliminate sloping problems and water build up in the easement. The development of streets 68th Lane North, 5th Street North and Camden Ave North, shall have hydrants andutilities installed prior to any building permits being issued for construction of dwellings on lots located on said streets. Conditions of Approval: Staff recommends the following conditions be attached to any positive recommendation on the approval of Planning Commission Application No. 2019-008 for the Subject Property located at the aforementioned lots: Anticipated Permitting 1. The Applicant shall apply for and receive a City Land Disturbance permit prior to commencing any grading or land clearance activities on the site. 2. The Applicant shall apply for and receive an NPDES permit from the MPCA. 3. The Applicant shall submit plans to the city for Shingle Creek Watershed District review. 4. The Applicant shall apply for and receive all applicable City building permits prior to commencing construction of any structures. 5. Other permits not listed may be required and is the responsibility of the developer to obtain and warrant. 6. Copies of all required permits must be provided to the City prior to issuance of applicable building and land disturbance permits. 7. A preconstruction conference must be scheduled and held with City staff and other entities designated by the City. App. No. 2019-008 PC 06/13/2019 Page 7 PUD / Site Improvement Review 8. All driveways within the development shall not exceed the width of the garage. 9. Any modifications to the submitted plans shall be reviewed by City staff with respect to applicable codes prior to the issuance of permits, and fire related building code items shall be reviewed and approved by the Fire Chief. a. Any significant changes or modifications made to this request can only be made by an amendment to the approved Planned Unit Development as approved by the City Council. 10. Agreements: a.
