General Business
(8.01) Reguiding, Rezoning, and Preliminary Plat for `Beacon Ridge" on Properties
located at 5225, 5305, and 5325 Dunkirk Lane (Estate Development Corporation —
2017053)
Senior Planner Drill reported this request is for reguiding from LA -RT to LA -R2, rezoning from
FRD to RSF-3, and a preliminary plat for 37 single family lots for properties located at 5225,
5305, and 5325 Dunkirk Lane.
Senior Planner Drill and City Attorney Knutson provided the following information in response
to questions from the Council:
• The areas along the perimeter of the site are included in the tree preservation easement as
well as the trees adjacent to the Plymouth Gun Club property.
Adopted Minutes Page 3 of 6 Regular Meeting of August 22, 2017
It would be possible to record something against the title of the properties regarding the
proximity to the gun club property. It would be considered a disclosure, not a deed
restriction. If a potential buyer is using a title company, it would be disclosed.
Regarding the homes that abut the gun club property line, the back of the pads are about
60 feet to the lot line, and decks can be constructed beyond that. There will be a six -foot -
high chain link fence along the back side of the development. The developer is working
with the gun club to determine if it makes more sense to install it on the gun club
property.
• The noise study was completed about five weeks ago.
The Council commented in other developments around the gun club property, there were similar
disclosure requirements and special construction measures to aid in noise abatement. The
Council inquired if the speed sign on Dunkirk Lane should be located closer to the park to slow
down traffic.
Community Development Director Juetten provided the following information in response to
questions from the Council:
• When building permit applications are submitted, the City will require disclosure
statements signed by the buyers. It would be their intent that agents representing the
builder let potential buyers know about the gun club. It's also the buyers' responsibility
to make sure they know what is around the property they're purchasing.
• Staff will look at the whole corridor when the development is completed and determine if
the speed sign should be moved. It was placed at the proposed location based on the idea
that development would occur along Dunkirk Lane.
• Staff is how many more heavily wooded properties are left in the City for development.
There are three more parcels of similar size north on Dunkirk Lane, and other parcels,
some with woods, west of Troy Lane.
• The required fence is a chain link fence and is not for noise mitigation. It is for keeping
people off the gun club property.
Some Councilmembers preferred the chain link fence be installed on the platted property instead
of the gun club property.
In response to a question from the Council, Public Works Director Thompson stated the drain tile
connections would be connected into installed catch basins. They will delineate between public
and private drain tile systems in the developer agreement and on the plan where they are
identified.
Motion was made by Councilmember Willis and seconded by Councilmember Davis, to adopt a
Resolution Approving_a Comprehensive Plan Amendment to Reguide Roughly 15 acres from
LA -RT to LA -R2 for "Beacon Ridge" 2017053 - Res2017-279), Ordinance Amending Chapter
21 of the City Code to Classify Certain Land located at 5225, 5305, and 5325 Dunkirk Lane
(2017053 — Ord2017-18) Resolution ApprovingFindings indings of Fact for the Rezoning of Land
located at 5225 5305 and 5325 Dunkirk Lane (2017053 — Res2017-280), Resolution Approving
a Preliminary Plat for Estate Development Corporation for `Beacon Ridge" for Properties
Adopted Minutes Page 4 of 6 Regular Meeting of August 22, 2017
located at 5225, 5305, and 5325 Dunkirk Lane (2017053 — Res2017-280, and a Resolution
Approving Summary Publication of Ordinance No. 2017-18 (Res2017-282).
Tom Gonyea, developer, commented there are not a lot of common amenities in the development
so there is not a need for a homeowners association. The gun club is working with the
Department of Natural Resources to install a fence along the north side and it makes sense that
they have control of it. However, they are open to whatever the City decides.
Councilmember Prom stated he is uncomfortable with this application because of the items
previously discussed. A better approach would be to leave more trees for a larger buffer on the
west side to increase the density on the street side.
Mr. Gonyea responded they did look at alternatives regarding the buffer, and some involved
smaller lots and clustering, which has not been favored by the Council in the past. They tried to
stick with a more standard approach based on staff's guidance. At this point in the process, it
would be difficult to redo the plan.
With all members voting in favor but Prom, the motion carried.
(8.02) Joint Powers Agreement with the City of Minneapolis regarding Public Safety
Support related to the 2018 Super Bowl (previously item No. 6.03)
Councilmember Carroll inquired what the City will be doing to contribute to the Super Bowl
event and how the event will hold the City harmless from any liability.
Public Safety Director Goldstein stated the agreement has been reviewed and approved by the
League of Minnesota Cities and the City Attorney. They will be providing up to 16 officers to
work event details. The City will be reimbursed for their time, but not for any equipment used.
If officers are needed back in Plymouth, they can be called back. At any given time, they have
over 20 officers off duty and providing the officers to the Super Bowl will not compromise the
City's staffing model for daily events.
City Attorney Knutson stated the City's insurance will be in place and applicable. Also, the City
of Minneapolis is purchasing additional insurance policies to cover everyone. He believes the
policy provided by the City of Minneapolis is the primary policy.
Motion was made by Councilmember Carroll and seconded by Councilmember Johnson, to
adopt a Resolution Approving Joint Powers Agreement with the City of Minneapolis for the
2018 Super Bowl and Related Activities (Res2017-283). With all members voting in favor, the
motion carried.
