Approval requires a 4/7 vote of the City Council. 2.Background: At the August 27 Council meeting this item was tabled. Two residents spoke and raised concerns about the loss of the ballfield. Staff responded to Council's questions regarding costs that will be incurred by the City to relocate ballfield lights and other infrastructure. The Council directed staff to work with ISD 284 to better understand the impacts on the lease agreement and future collaboration on recreation facilities. On August 7, 2019, the Planning Commission conducted the public hearing and subsequently voted 4-1 (Witt voting nay) to recommend approval of the project. The applicant was present in support of the request. In addition to the applicant, three residents spoke at the meeting. The Plymouth Wayzata Youth Baseball Association representative expressed concern that the premier field for baseball would be removed and requested that the school district assist them to find another field of this size. The two other residents expressed concern over the loss of the ballfield and the additional traffic that the early learning school would create. The applicant responded that the start times of the school will be staggered so that both programs do not start/end at the same time, and that this would be a site improvement for traffic flow. While the project is permissible from a Planning and Zoning perspective, it raises questions regarding the status of the lease agreement with the City and the ability to collaborate on park and recreation programming. The City currently has a lease agreement with ISD 284 for use of the Oakwood playfields. The agreement allows the City to construct and operate recreation facilities on the Oakwood property for use by both the school district and the community. The School District has not provided construction timeline information for this project. Per the agreement, construction prior to May 31, 2020 would be a violation of the agreement. A copy of the Planning Commission meeting minutes and report is attached as well as the minutes from the August 27 Council meeting. 2 Notice of the public hearing was published in the City’s official newspaper and mailed to all property owners within 500 feet of the site. Development signage remains on the site. 3.Budget Impact: N/A 4.Planning Review Deadline: * October 12, 2019 5.Attachments: August 27 Council Minutes Planning Commission Minutes Planning Commission Report Resident Letters Site Map Aerial Photo Notification Map Plans Additional Correspondence from ISD 284 Resolution 3 Proposed Minutes Page 1 of 3 Regular Meeting of August 27, 2019 Consent Agenda Motion was made by Councilmember McGregor, and seconded by Councilmember Willis, to adopt the Consent Agenda that included the following items: (6.01) Council Meeting minutes from special and regular meetings of August 13 and special meeting of August 20.

Staff has been in conversation with the school district and is awaiting a response. Programming scheduled for this ballfield will need to be relocated. The maintenance joint powers agreement has expired, and the City is performing the maintenance without an agreement. Jon Deutsch, Director of Facilities - representing the applicant, provided the following information in response to questions from the Council: The school district will be maintaining the stormwater ponds. The details of traffic ingress and egress from the site. The right-in-only off County Road 101 has been changed to add the outbound movement. The east parking lot is meant primarily for employees, and the added space is needed to accommodate a new system for student drop off. There is a financial stipulation in the current joint powers agreement if the district were to leave the agreement early. That amount is still be determined. Mayor Wosje detailed his meeting with the school district. Motion was made by Councilmember Willis, and seconded by Councilmember Roehl, to table to this item to October 8 which would provide opportunity for the City and school board to meet. Mr. Deutsch discussed the school district’s attempts to find alternatives for removal of the ballfield and commented regarding the breach of the joint power’s agreement. David Cade, 1760 Garland Lane North, provided comment regarding traffic at the site and expressed concern regarding the plan and loss of the ballfield. Joe Fusaro, 16600 45th Avenue North, representing Plymouth Youth Baseball Association, explained there is a shortage of ballfields already and the potential loss of this mid-size field makes the shortage even a bigger impact. He spoke of their investment with the current ballfield. Members of the Council expressed their concern and disappointment with the school district regarding the joint powers agreements, proposed projects, and lack of communication with the 5 Proposed Minutes Page 3 of 3 Regular Meeting of August 27, 2019 City. The Council stressed it’s very difficult for the City to plan for programs and facilities when there is little communication from the school district. By tabling action on this item this evening, it would allow additional time for the school district to have necessary dialogue with the City. There being no further discussion and with all members voting in favor, the motion carried. (8.2)Site Plan and Conditional Use Permit for a Senior Housing Building for Property located at 3025 Harbor Lane (Augusta Development, LLC – 2019048) Community Development Director Juetten reported on this item.

Bo Nickoloff, from Augusta Development, spoke of the changes made to the site plan. He noted that these will be market rate units, but there will be affordability options. Eric Reiners, from Sperides Reiners Architects Inc., expressed excitement at seeing the project get underway. He provided further detail regarding the construction materials of the balconies. Motion was made by Councilmember Carroll, and seconded by Councilmember Willis, to adopt a Resolution Approving a Site Plan and Conditional Use Permit for Senior Apartment Building on Property located at 3025 Harbor Lane North (Res2019-240).

Engdahl, City Clerk 6 Proposed Minutes 1 of 5 Meeting of August 7, 2019 Proposed Minutes Planning Commission Meeting August 7, 2019 MEMBERS PRESENT: Chair Marc Anderson, Commissioners Bryan Oakley, Julie Witt, David Witte, and Justin Markell MEMBERS ABSENT: Commissioner Donovan Saba and Jaspreet (Jesse) Narr STAFF PRESENT: Planning Manager Barbara Thomson, Senior Planner Kip Berglund, Senior Planner Shawn Drill, Senior Planner Lori Sommers, and Senior Engineering Technician Trevor Quast OTHERS PRESENT: Councilmember Ned Carroll 1.CALL TO ORDER - 7:00 P.M. 6.PUBLIC HEARINGS D.WOLD ARCHITECTS AND ENGINEERS (2019055) Chair Anderson introduced the request by Wold Architects and Engineers for a site plan amendment and conditional use permit amendment to allow for a building and parking expansion and related site improvements at Oakwood Elementary School located at 17340 County Road 6. Senior Planner Sommers gave an overview of the staff report. Commissioner Markell stated that it sounds like the reason for the parking increase is the Early Learning School that is being built. He asked if that use is being relocated. He also asked the timing for the project. Senior Planner Sommers confirmed that the applicant would like to relocate the facility to this area. She said she was unsure on the timing, but noted that the contractor would like to begin in September. Commissioner Oakley asked and received confirmation that the parking requirement is for the existing building and proposed building with future uses. Commissioner Witte asked for clarification on the orientation of the site plan. Senior Planner Sommers replied that the property is outlined in red and all of the construction would happen south of the tennis courts. Chair Anderson referenced the joint powers agreement that expires in 2020 and asked for details. 7 Proposed Minutes 2 of 5 Meeting of August 7, 2019 Senior Planner Sommers stated that she does not know the details, but indicated that the City is working to renegotiate the details with the school district. Park and Recreation Deputy Director Northway replied that the park department does have concern with loss of green space for residents and youth sports associations. She noted that the loss of the fields may have a ripple effect on other associations. She stated that there has been an investment in infrastructure for the sports fields from the City and sports associations. She stated that if the City would have known the greenspace would be removed, the City would have perhaps acquired park land in another location. She confirmed that the agreement expires in 2020 and was a 20-year agreement, which contained two, ten-year terms. Commissioner Markell asked for clarification on the joint powers agreement and how that would impact the school district’s use of its property. Senior Planner Sommers stated that within the agreement there are various clauses, scheduling and maintenance needs, parking lot requirements, and insurance requirements. She stated that either party can terminate the agreement with a 30-day notice and that would require a payment of a certain percentage of the infrastructure that would be removed. Chair Anderson briefly recessed the meeting. Chair Anderson reconvened the meeting. Chair Anderson introduced John Deutsch, representing Wayzata School District, who stated that he is present to answer any questions. Commissioner Oakley stated that the analysis in the staff report indicated there are a number of aspects of the plan that do not comply with city requirements. He asked if there is a problem complying with any of the requirements. Mr. Deutsch replied that he does not have any issues complying with those items. Commissioner Witt stated that there was a valid point from the park staff. She noted that this seems to be a short-term decision, rather than a long-term, thought-out plan. Mr. Deutsch stated that there is currently an early learning location in a non-district owned location, which creates challenges, and therefore the decision was made to change that location to this district-owned property. He noted that this is a large site that would have expansion ability and could also share services, rather than purchasing additional land. He stated that this process has gone on for about six to nine months. He confirmed that this would not add elementary students or bussing as early learning families drop off and pick up their children, which requires additional parking. Chair Anderson asked if there is anything the school would be willing to do about the loss of fields. 8 Proposed Minutes 3 of 5 Meeting of August 7, 2019 Mr. Deutsch stated that they have added fields and greenspace at other locations in recent years and would be open to additional discussions. Chair Anderson opened the public hearing. Chair Anderson introduced Joe Fusaro, 16600 45th Place, representing Plymouth Wayzata Youth Baseball Association, who explained that they are a nonprofit organization that serves the youth in the community. He noted that they have a great partnership with the City and the school district. He stated that this project will remove a premier field for the association. He also stated that when they made the $30,000 investment for the batting cage, they were under the understanding that this was a long-term agreement between the City and school district. He asked that the school district help to find a location where another field of this size could be created. Chair Anderson introduced Kate Miketic, 1845 Holly Lane, who stated that 19th Avenue and County Road 101 is an extremely busy intersection and was horrified to hear that there would be additional traffic. She asked if there would be any plans to mitigate that additional traffic. She echoed the comments regarding the loss of greenspace and fields. She stated that she is not convinced that turning greenspace with heavy use into a traffic heavy site would be the best use of the property. She stated that some of the buildings are two stories and said she would be interested to see where the shadows fall. Chair Anderson introduced K. Hainlin, who stated she lives on the north side of 19th Avenue, and that she is a parent of two children that went to this school and loved the environment. She stated that her children also used the ballfields and was upset to see that the fields would be lost to parking stalls. She said she was concerned that this request is being pushed through so quickly. She stated that if other residents were aware of the size and loss of ballfields, they would most likely be present too. She stated that this would be a significant loss to the neighborhood. Chair Anderson closed the public hearing. Mr. Deutsch stated that he cannot speak to the two smaller fields as the City programs those fields. He noted that the woods to the north contain wetland. He stated that there is only one baseball field being lost;the others will remain. Commissioner Oakley stated that the baseball field is being taken by parking. Mr. Deutsch replied that the building is very close to encroaching on that field. Commissioner Oakley asked if the parking could be moved to the north to save the field. Mr. Deutsch said he was unsure what the domino effect would be. Park and Recreation Deputy Director Northway stated that if the baseball field were potentially saved, that would disrupt other fields/sports. She explained that the parking therefore was planned closest to the addition. 9 Proposed Minutes 4 of 5 Meeting of August 7, 2019 Commissioner Oakley noted that the applicant stated that the baseball field is one of two fields that is readily available in the city, and he asked the number of softball fields there are Plymouth. Park and Recreation Deputy Director Northway replied that softball fully utilizes all the existing softball fields. She stated there is very little extra space in the city as the population continues to grow. Commissioner Oakley asked if the city or softball association has investments in that space. Park and Recreation Deputy Director Northway confirmed that the softball association has made donations in that location. Commissioner Witte stated that the reason sports associations make donations to the City is that the City does not have funds for the improvements, and the users of the space therefore make the donations. He stated that if this field is going to be lost and additional space is needed, those comments should be forwarded to the City Council. Mr. Deutsch stated that the starting time of the early learning school would be staggered with the elementary school so that both programs do not start/end at the same time. He noted that this plan will be a site improvement for traffic flow as well. He stated that some renderings were done with shadowing throughout the design process, but he did not have that information with him. He was unsure if the addition would cause larger shadows than the media center addition constructed six years ago. He said he was unsure of the financial details as those would be handled through the business office. He stated that in terms of noise, the existing playground is on the similar side of the building, and he would not anticipate a change in noise levels. Chair Anderson asked if there are plans for signalization at County Road 101 and 19 th Avenue. Senior Engineering Technician Quast replied that he has not heard any discussion of a signal at that location. Commissioner Oakley stated it appears that this request complies with all zoning requirements and asked if it would also comply with the City’s comprehensive plan. Planning Manager Thomson stated that she could not think of any issues of noncompliance. Commissioner Oakley stated that he would like to see further discussion between the City and school district about the loss of the field. He stated he does not think that the commission could do anything but approve the request as submitted because the proposal complies with all the zoning requirements. Chair Anderson commented that the softball and baseball associations should be a part of that discussion as well. Commissioner Witt echoed the comments of Commissioner Oakley, noting that it is intriguing that the school district is coming out of the gate with this plan. She stated that the school district 10 Proposed Minutes 5 of 5 Meeting of August 7, 2019 is thoughtful and strategic in their planning and was curious as to the hurry. She stated it is interesting that there is no planning in regard to the playfields and partnership between the school district and City. She said she believed that breaking ground in September would be too fast and suggested that be delayed, allowing additional discussions between all parties. Commissioner Witte stated that he would be supporting the request, but hoped that the school district, City and interested associations continue to have discussions and look at creating additional fields. Chair Anderson asked if a condition should be added requiring at least one meeting of those parties prior to the City Council meeting. Commissioner Markell said he did not believe that would be appropriate. He thanked those that spoke tonight, but noted the lack of people speaking against the topic. He noted that comments were made from only one association tonight. He stated we are all residents of a community that is growing rapidly and because people have children that they would like to have attend schools in the Wayzata school district, the school district in turn needs to accommodate that growth. He stated that the parking lot is serving the purpose of the education of children and the decision should be left to the school district as to how best to use its property for education rather than greenspace. MOTION by Commissioner Witte, seconded by Commissioner Markell, to approve the request by Wold Architects and Engineers for a site plan amendment and conditional use permit amendment to allow for a building and parking expansion and related site improvements at Oakwood Elementary School located at 17340 County Road 6.

Notice of the public hearing was mailed to all property owners within 500 feet of the site. A copy of the notification area map is attached.Development signage has also been posted on the property. 12 2019055 Page 2 CONTEXT: Surrounding Land Uses Adjacent Land Use Guiding Zoning North Single Family Homes LA-1 RSF-1 Southeast Apartments LA-4 RMF-4 East Single Family Homes LA-1 RSF-1 South (Across County Road 6) Oakwood Square Shopping Center Apartments Single Family Homes C LA-4 LA-1 C-2 RMF-4 RSF-1 West (Across County Road 101)Commercial Use Apartments C LA-4 C-2 & PUD RMF-4 Natural Characteristics of Site The site is located in the Minnehaha Creek drainage district, but is not located in the shoreland overlay district for Minnehaha Creek. The site has a medium-quality wetland located on the northeast corner of the site. The expansion project would not impact the wetland. No portion of the property lies within a floodplain. Previous Actions Affecting Site Oakwood Elementary School was constructed in 1982. In 1995, the City Council approved a site plan amendment and conditional use permit amendment for a new front entry and two school additions. In 1995, the City Council approved a site plan amendment and conditional use permit amendment for a parking expansion at the central services facility that is located in the northwest portion of the Oakwood School site. In 1995, the City administratively approved a site plan amendment to allow a permanent swing set on the playground and a plan modification for installation of mechanical equipment and a screening wall. In 2005, the City Council approved a site plan amendment for a bituminous drive aisle on the southeast side of the school to be used for a student drop-off and pick-up zone. In 2007, the City Council approved a site plan amendment and conditional use permit amendment to allow a building and parking lot expansion. LEVEL OF CITY DISCRETION IN DECISION-MAKING: The City’s discretion in approving or denying a site plan amendment is limited to whether or not the proposalcomplies with the comprehensive plan and zoning ordinance requirements. If it meets these standards, the City must approve the site plan amendment. 13 2019055 Page 3 The City’s discretion in approving or denying a conditional use permit amendment is limited to whether or not the proposal meets the standards listed in the zoning ordinance. If it meets the specified standards, the City must approve the amendment. However, the level of discretion is affected by the fact that some of these standards are open to interpretation. ANALYSIS OF REQUEST: Site Plan Amendment The zoning ordinance contains specific standards for approval of a site plan amendment for development in the RSF-1 (Single Family Detached 1) zoning district. Staff used these standards to review the proposal. The specific standards that apply are as indicated on the following table. Standards for the RSF-1 District Specified Proposed Complies?

Improvements include the following new playgrounds for Oakwood and the Early Learning School: Ages 0-2 Playground (approx. 6,000 square feet) Ages 3-6 Shared Play Space (approx. 15,000 square feet) Grades 1-5 Oakwood Playground (approx. 9,000 square feet) Hard Play Space (approx. 10,000 square feet) The proposed parking lot layout would provide a new queuing lane for parent pick-up/drop-off traffic that is anticipated to reduce the traffic backups at the County Road 6 driveway entrance, an improved fire lane design around the building and stormwater infiltration ponds. The plan also provides for new site and building lighting and sidewalks for improved pedestrian circulation. Parking The parking requirement for an elementary school is three parking spaces per classroom with adequate space provided for the dropping off and/or picking up of students as determined by the Zoning Administrator. The school currently has 28 general classrooms. There are also various rooms for music, art, computer lab, and intervention classrooms for an additional 5 classrooms. The applicant is proposing 10 additional early learning classrooms and one infant room in the addition. At this time, the second floor of the early learning addition will be offices, but in the future they could be used for an additional 11 classrooms. Consequently, the City regulations require 165 spaces for this use. In anticipation of consolidating the school district’s early learning programs into Oakwood Elementary School, the applicant has provided a parking analysis of existing facilities and anticipated future parking needs. The total number of parking stalls at the existing facilities is 400. The total number of parking that is anticipated based on input from each program leader is 440-480 parking stalls. The applicant indicates that scheduling adjustments will reduce the peak parking demand. The four existing parking lots on the site currently have a total of 226 stalls for cars. Two additional parking lots are proposed as part of the project: a southeast parking lot and an east parking lot. The southeast parking lot would contain 58 stalls and the east parking lot would contain 142 stalls. Both would be used for the early learning school. There would be minor changes to the other parking lot. The total number of stalls proposed (432) would exceed City parking requirements. Access Access to the site would not change. Car Parking Counts Parking Lot Existing Proposed North 67 71 Northwest 79 81 South 43 43 Southeast (new)0 58 West 37 37 East (new)0 142 TOTAL 226 432 15 2019055 Page 5 Parks The applicant is proposing to remove an existing ballfield on the site in order to provide parking and infiltration ponds. The infiltration ponds arerequired because of the added impervious surface to the site. The ballfield is currently being used for baseball, softball, soccer, and football. The Plymouth Wayzata Youth Softball Association (PWYSA), Wayzata Plymouth Youth Football Association (WPYF), and Fusion Soccer Club have written letters expressing concern over the loss of the field (see attached) and negative impact to the number of children they will be able to serve in the area. The Parks and Recreation Department has a joint powers agreement that expires in 2020, that was created to have the City program, schedule and maintain the park area of the school. The City has spent time and resources on putting in infrastructure on this leased land that includes the athletic fields, irrigation, light towers, fencing, dugouts, and trail. The City did not anticipate future loss of this park space, had that been a potential, the City may have purchased parkland elsewhere instead. Building Materials Section 21115.03, subd. 1 of the zoning ordinance specifies general standards for building construction. The building addition would be finished with brick and stucco to match the existing school. The additions would also include precast walls for the gym addition that would blend with the existing color palette of the building. The proposed building materials would comply with ordinance requirements. Lighting The project is located in light zone 2 (LZ-2) and must meet the requirements under section 21105.06 of the zoning ordinance. The applicant submitted a lighting plan showing the proposed location, mounting height, and proposed lighting output. Additional information and fixture details are required in order to determine backlight, uplight and glare (B.U.G) ratings. A condition is included in the attached resolution stating that a revised lighting plan and fixture details that meet requirements for exterior lighting in LZ-2 are required prior to the issuance of a building permit. Landscaping The ordinance requires 44 new trees in conjunction with this project. Under the plan, 28 new trees would be provided. The proposed number of plantings would not comply with City regulations. A condition has been included in the attached resolution addressing this matter. Stormwater The City of Plymouth’s water quality requirements state that if one acre or more of new impervious surface is disturbed,then the City’s requirements would need to be met. A condition in the attached resolution requires that the plans be reviewed and approved by the Engineering Department, and that the applicant obtain any required permits from other agencies, including the watershed district.16 2019055 Page 6 Impervious surfaces presently cover 9.2 acres of the site. The plan shows an imperious surface coverage of 12.1 acres, for an increase of 2.9 acres. Conclusion on Site Plan Amendment With the proposed conditions, staff finds that the proposed site plan amendment would comply with all City regulations. Conditional Use Permit Amendment The applicant is requesting approval of a conditional use permit amendment to allow a two-story addition for the Wayzata Early Learning school and offices. The building addition would allow for nine new classrooms and one infant room, and administrative offices for the school. The Planning Commission must review the requested conditional use permit amendment with the seven conditional use permit standards listed in the zoning ordinance. A copy of the standards is attached. Staff used these standards to review the application and finds that the request meets the applicable standards as follows: Comprehensive Plan: The property is guided P-I (public/semi-public/institutional). The comprehensive plan considers schools to be complementary uses in the P-I district. Schools are an allowable conditional use in the RSF-1 (single family detached 1) district and would, therefore, be consistent with the comprehensive plan. Public Welfare: The proposed use could be detrimental to the general public health, welfare, morals, or comfort. The loss of public open space and recreation facilities within the City is a concern. Impact on Surrounding Property: The proposed use would not be injurious to the immediately surrounding properties or to the city as a whole. There is concern with the loss of the multi-purpose ball field and the impacts to the Parks and Recreation Department’s activity programming and to the various youth associations that use the field. Orderly Development: The proposed use would be located within a fully developed area and would not impede any improvements to any surrounding properties. Public Facilities: The subject site is adequately served by public facilities. District Regulations: The proposed use would comply with the regulations of the RSF-1 zoning district. Performance Standards: The proposed use would not alter the previously approved site plan and access would be available to serve the proposed use. 17 2019055 Page 7 RECOMMENDATION: Community Development Department staff recommends approval of the site plan amendment and conditional use permit amendment for Wold Architects and Engineers for building and parking expansion and related site improvementsat Oakwood ElementarySchool, subject to the conditions listed in the attached resolution. If new information is brought forward at the public meeting, staff may alter or reconsider its recommendation.
