General Business
(8.01) Reguiding, Rezoning, Preliminary Plat and Variance for "Greenway West"
Residential Subdivision for Property located West of Troy Lane at 58th Avenue (Pulte
Homes of Minnesota — 2017083)
Community Development Director Juetten reported on the request to reguide the property
located west of Troy Lane at 58th Avenue from LA -RT to LA -1, rezone from FRD to RSF-3,
and approve a preliminary plat for 78 new single-family lots with a variance to reduce the lot
size for two existing homes that will remain. The Planning Commission recommends approval
of this request.
In response to questions from the Council, he provided the following information:
• He noted the area that would not be rezoned. He stated the entire property is proposed to
be reguided. It will have a lot and block description and access on the private drive that
goes to the south and out to Troy Lane. He also highlighted the area that would become
an outlot and combined with the current parcel, to be owned and managed by the HOA.
There would be no road access to it and would be left in a more natural state.
• He does not believe there is a cost benefit to developing the outlot.
• Approval of this application does not predetermine anything if the property to the south
decides to develop in the future. City Attorney Knutson agreed.
Paul Heuer, representing Pulte Homes, provided the following information in response to
questions from the Council:
Adopted Minutes Page 4 of 8 Regular Meeting of December 12, 2017
• The outlot will be an HOA owned wooded space and they are considering a private tot lot
and fire pit there as well.
• There is an easement for a private trail to provide access from the neighborhood. There
will be about 30 feet between the homes to allow for this trail.
• He referred to a map and pointed out areas where there will not be grading or tree
removal.
• Pulte Homes will be building all the homes on the site.
• The issues with a previous HOA on the south side have been addressed.
• The two properties on the south side have vehicle access and wetlands run through the
center of the properties. There's approximately 38 feet of grade change from the
wetlands to the front of the two existing properties. The existing homes are on the south
side of the property and there is plenty of room to add an additional septic system if
needed.
• There is no need for a conservation easement for the outlot on the northwest side of the
site. It will be an amenity privately owned by the HOA.
Mark Rauch, Alliant Engineering, stated they are disturbing 80% of the upland area and
preserving about 40% of the trees. He pointed out the areas where retaining walls will be needed
and where the stormwater ponds will be located. There will be 1/3 percent reduction of flow
rates in the area that will be addressed with the three proposed basins.
Public Works Director Thompson stated the water and sewer connection comes from Troy Lane.
They do not anticipate an extension of the cul-de-sac on the south side. However, on the north
side they do anticipate potential future development. This plan requires gravity sewer
throughout that would connect to the main connection at Troy Lane and be stubbed up to the
north property line. He doesn't anticipate the need for a lift station, but will confirm this with
staff.
Motion was made by Councilmember Prom and seconded by Councilmember Johnson, to adopt
a Resolution Approving a Comprehensive Plan Amendment to Reguide roughly 37.4 acres from
LA -RT to LA -1 for "Greenway West" (2017083 - Res2017-387), Ordinance Amending Chapter
21 (Zoning Ordinance) of the City Code to Classify Certain Land located at 5815, 5845, and
5905 Troy Lane and Portions of Certain Land located at 5705 and 5755 Vagabond Lane and
6000 County Road 101 (2017083 — Ord2017-27) Resolution Approving Findings of Fact for the
Rezoning of Land located at 5815 5845 and 5905 Troy Lane 5705 and 5755 Vagabond Lane,
and 6000 County Road 101 (2017083 — Res2017-388) Resolution Approving Summary
Publication of Ordinance No 2017-27 (Res2017-389)and a Resolution Approving a
Preliminary Plat and Variance for Pulte Homes of Minnesota LLC for "Greenway West" for
Properties located at 5815 5845 5905 Troy Lane 5705 and 5755 Vagabond Lane, and 6000
County Road 101 (2017083 — Res2017-390). With all members voting in favor, the motion
carried.
(8.02) Resolution Authorizing the Issuance of Special Permits for Extended Liquor Sales
Hours during Super Bowl Weekend
Adopted Minutes Page 5 of 8 Regular Meeting of December 12, 2017
City Clerk Engdahl reported the Legislature passed special legislation allowing establishments to
remain open until 4:00 a.m. on February 2 through February 5, 2018 during Super Bowl
weekend, subject to approval by the local jurisdictions. Staff has received a request from
Lucky's 13 Pub to extend the hours of sale, and staff is recommending approval of this
resolution. The permits for the extension of hours would be issued administratively. Local
jurisdictions can charge a permit fee up to $250 to cover enforcement.
In response to questions from the Council, Public Safety Director Goldstein provided the
following information:
They have not increased staffing during the proposed extended hours and do not plan to
staff any differently than any other weekend. However, if they learn of other events
taking place, they may need to add additional staff.
There will be additional resources used during the week, but the police officers that are
assigned to the Super Bowl will not affect the City's general staffing schedule and the
City will be reimbursed for those services.
The Council discussed the following items to consider:
• Would permits be issued only for private parties or opened to the general public.
• Could the permits be tied to only liquor establishments that are attached to a hotel.
Meghan Stansbury, representing Lucky's 13 Pub, 3000 Harbor Lane, stated they have 100 guests
for an event at their liquor establishment on Super Bowl weekend. Eighty percent of their guests
stay in the hotel or take an Uber. If approved, they plan to hire two additional security officers
and will double up on management staff for the day. The event will be held in a more private
space and would allow only 150 people. The bar would also be open, but they do not anticipate
additional people coming to Plymouth since a lot of the Super Bowl events will take place
downtown Minneapolis.
City Attorney Knutson confirmed the Council could add restrictions to this resolution and it is
permissible to restrict it to bars that are part of hotels. The Legislature has given cities
jurisdiction and the authority to set reasonable conditions.
City Manager Callister noted if this resolution is approved, the permits would be issued
administratively if the applicants met the required criteria.
Motion was made by Councilmember Johnson, and seconded by Councilmember Prom, to adopt
a Resolution Authorizing the Issuance of Special Permits for Extended Liquor Sales Hours
during Super Bowl with increasing the permit fee to $250, adding conditions to the resolution to
state "two security guards must be hired at the liquor establishment's expense and be on duty
during the extended hours," and "the liquor establishment must be attached to a hotel" (Res2017-
391).
Troy Reding, owner of Rock Elm Tavern, 16605 County Road 24, Suite 211, commented he
doesn't agree with the restriction that the restaurant must be attached to a hotel. He currently
Adopted Minutes Page 6 of 8 Regular Meeting of December 12, 2017
doesn't have any private party reservations for that weekend, but he would want the same ability
to host a private party and make revenue for his business if it were requested.
Motion was made by Councilmember Carroll, and seconded by Mayor Slavik, to amend the main
motion to remove the requirement that the "liquor establishment be attached to a hotel."
A discussion was held on excluding establishments that have an agreement with the City in
restricting the hours of operation.
Motion was made by Councilmember Johnson, and seconded by Mayor Slavik to amend the
main motion to add a condition in the resolution to state, "any license holder that has agreed
upon conditions restricting their hours of operation are not eligible."
The Council voted on the first amendment. With Johnson, Prom, Wosje, Carroll, and Slavik
voting yes, and Davis and Willis voting no, the motion carried.
The Council voted on the second amendment. With Johnson, Prom, Wosje, Carroll, and Slavik
voting yes, and Davis and Willis voting no, the motion carried.
The Council voted on the amended main motion. With Johnson, Prom, Wosje, Carroll, and
Slavik voting yes, and Davis and Willis voting no, the motion carried.
(8.03) Water Tank Service Contract for Zachary Water Tower Rehabilitation (15003)
Public Works Director Thompson reported on two proposals received for this project and the
recommendation to award the contract to KLM Engineering, Inc. for Option 2.
In response to questions from the Council, he provided the following information:
This project would begin in early spring 2018, and staff has sent out requests for antenna
removals to meet the 120 -day notice period. Staff will notify the residents of the
proposed work. It is a 10 -week project and will have no effect on the water quality.
There are other companies that do this type of work, but Classic Protective Coatings has
one of the top reputations and partners with KLM and other special services firms.
Duane Prinzing, representing KLM Engineering, stated Classic Protective Coatings is a leader in
the reconditioning of tanks of this size and has worked with Plymouth on two other projects.
They have six crews, can do multiple projects at one time, and will assign a crew to a project
until it is completed. With the tower on Highway 101, there were very tough conditions with
high winds and they still finished on time and on budget. Classic Protective Coatings has a very
stellar safety and quality record and KLM Engineering has worked with them for over 15 years.
The owner of Classic Protective Coatings embraces the KLM inspection and quality control.
Motion was made by Councilmember Willis, and seconded by Councilmember Prom, to adopt a
Resolution Approving the Water Tank Service Contract for the Zachary Water Tower (15003 -
Res2017-392). With all members voting in favor, the motion carried.
