This approval was for 822 market rate units with an additional 20 percent allowed if they were available for low to moderate housing. This allowed for a maximum of 988 units with bonus points. See Table A for unit breakdown and acreage. Several phases have been platted and developed primarily with single family lots. Three multifamily attached projects have been developed (Mission Ponds, Mission Oaks, and Parkside at Medicine Lake Apartments). The City Council under Resolution 78 -579 approved an amendment to the PUD Plan which enlarged the single family area by adding 39 single family detached units in the north central area eliminating 111 single family attached units. The plan further eliminated 12 additional single family attached units and 13 multifamily units and relocated the difference of 97 units to the west; 57 multifamily units were placed in an area northeast of the pond with the remaining 40 multifamily units being added to the area north of the pond. The 1978 approval did not change the total number of units; however, it concentrated the density to the westerly portion of the PUD, i.e., it allowed a transfer of density to "future" areas. In July, 1983 the City Council authorized eminent domain proceedings for the original "westerly parcel" of approximately 38 acres to acquire right -of -way for Northwest Boulevard. The PUD was amended by Resolution 83 -348 to decrease the number of units based on the loss of the westerly parcel. see next page) LW ftj Fr W H rn j -1 00OH WI b &. tn00:ro n 01 N oP t1i tri O N J O v to (n (n H 0) W W t1i 1 01 N -j OW01Oo CDwlim OFrF+NF -+C t" H to %D ko to t1i cn Cn H to to to H 0 co 00 -1 - z C H H t1i En Ln Lo OD a) rz r vCnn3Q0U)i 30a HHrt-I0 HHtiL O o 0I%jmm v mm H W H En C1i H 0 NNNNN C17HN U) v t-+ t2i y r z u+ Ln tii 0 0-1 0) co 00 H kato o t -4 t" tt4t''H v 04 04 b O z O C v b7 HCHM1.0 C tt1i H to 000o0,rnC to 0000 0n xxO xxH v t1i t1i to t1i t1i 0 N N N N N m vv vt70 0101PFrN b H x C t 1 t=i v v LW ftj Fr W H rn j -1 00OH WI b &. tn00:ro n 01 N oP t1i tri O N J O v to (n (n H wt''zzH H H r r 0 t" v04t17M H Nr trJ rJ,b WNWWNf1i t1i H (n Oto01 P01 t1i F ON0)tsj F-4 ° zo z v En En nonx Gy x x 0 0 0-1 0) co 00 H vvOOONN FO- 3 v b C v b7 WWWrnrnz 000o0,rnC to H I-1N00OH O O OD OD OD H L=i File 89103 Page Two The revised allowable unit count became 690 units with an additional 20 percent allowed provided they were exclusively for low and moderate income persons, for a maximum otpentialunitcountof828units. In 1983, approval for Parkside Apartments at the southwest corner of Old Rockford Road and 41st Avenue North (which included an amendment to the approved RPUD Plan /Plat and Conditional Use Permit), allowed the change in types of units from "elderly" housing and "condominium units" to "apartment units." This did nt chan a the overall potential number of units. Resolution 83 -349 is attached. In September, 1985 the City Council approved an amendment to the RPUD Plan /Plat and Conditional Use Permit to revise an area (the existing Mission Trails) which called for 62 multifamily dwelling units and 14 single family residential lots to allow development of 26 single family residential lots, a reduction of 50 dwelling units allowable in the PUD. The overall RPUD density was amended to allow a dwelling unit count maximum of 640 units with an additional 20 percent for up to a maximum 770 units, provided they were exclusively for low and moderate income persons. 471 market rate units and 70 subsidized units have been constructed to date, for a total of 541 units. All of the 276 approved single family detached lots have been platted. The remainder of the project consists of attached housing. The applicant proposes an RPUD Preliminary Plan /Plat and Conditional Use Permit amendment for the remaining 29 acre undeveloped area of this RPUD. The Preliminary Plan and Plat proposes a redistribution of units within the boundaries of the PUD, but no increase in the PUD overall dwelling unit count. Notice of this Public Hearing has been published in the official City newspaper, and notices have been mailed to adjoining property owners within 500 feet. A development sign has been placed on the property. PRIMARY ISSUES AND ANALYSIS: 1. The PUD, as last amended in 1985, specifies, on the remaining vacant portion of the site, 103 units south of 41st Avenue North and 66 market - rate units north of 41st Avenue North. In addition, 60 bonus units are approved north of 41st Avenue North, if earned, and if qualified by affordability. Proposed is the relocation of 67 of the approved dwelling units from south of 41st Avenue North to north of 41st Avenue North. Also proposed is modification in dwelling unit ty= to be constructed south of 41st Avenue North. Two -story twin homes are proposed as a substitute for 3 story multifamily type structures. Essentially 18 smaller structures are proposed to replace 4 larger /higher structures now approved. see next page) File 89103 Page Three North of 41st Avenue North the number of dwelling units would increase by 67 to a total of 193 units. The increased dwelling unit count would be concentrated at the southeast corner of Larch Lane and Old Rockford Road. The structure type north of 41st Avenue North is proposed to be modified from the approved 8 stories, 4 story and quadraminium structures (5 total) to 3 total structures (of 3 stories each). 2. The physical constraints analysis shows this site to be located in the Bassett Creek Watershed District. The site is not located within a Shoreland Management District, but does contain several wetlands. The aerial photos the City uses to generally identify the potential areas of federally regulated wetlands shows four areas of the site where such wetlands appear to exist. They are immediately south of the "pond;" the area surrounding the "pond;" the southeast corner of 41st Avenue North and Jonquil Lane; and, north of 41st Avenue North and Goldenrod Lane. It appears there will be no impact on any of these wetlands with this proposal. City review of wetland conservation /preservation measures of development applications is responsive to the provisions of Section 500.15, Subdivision 5 of the City Code (the Subdivision Ordinance); and with a PUD application such as this Section 9, Subdivision B, Paragraph 1C (5) of the Zoning Ordinance. We have attached copies of both ordinance provision. The site contains some major woodlands located south and east of the pond and north of 41st Avenue North and Goldenrod Lane. The site also contains some severe slopes located in the general areas as the woodlands. The soils appear suitable for urban capability with public sewers. 3. The Zoning Ordinance provides the Planning Commission criteria upon which to analyze and make a recommendation concerning an RPUD Preliminary Plan /Plat. Those criteria are as follows: a. Compatibility with the stated purposes and intent of the Planned Unit Development. The applicant, in his narrative submission identifies the professional design assistance being used, the proficient use of streets and facilities (access will be via Old Rockford Road and 41st Avenue North), usable suitably located passive and active recreational facilities (walking paths and tennis courts) and affirmative design efforts towards the preservation of desirable natural site characteristics. The proposed tennis courts and a portion of the walking path is located on Outlot A, Mission Ridge 2nd Addition - -which is Q a part of this application. Prior approvals of the Mission Ridge 2nd Addition call for use of a portion of this Outlot by future development " for density calculation. see next page) File 89103 Page Four b. provisions of the Zoning Ordinance. The present plan for this site is responsive to the Land Use Guide Plan with respect to the project density and structure type based on the LA -1 guiding. The relationship to the surrounding neighborhood is influenced by a proposed lower density twin home in the area adjacent to the existing single family dwellings, and a higher density multifamily unit in the areas adjacent to the existing multifamily developments. The spot densities will range from 3.36 units per acre in the twin home south of 41st Avenue North area up to 12.7 units per acre in the multifamily and (northwest of 41st Avenue North and Goldenrod Lane). The approved densities for the areas were 9.61 and 7.61 units per acre respectively. Density east of Mission Oaks is proposed to increase from 10.7 to 14.Q dwelling units per acre. The applicant is requesting front yard setbacks of 20 feet (versus the Ordinance minimum of 35 feet) for the townhouse area with all other setbacks meeting or exceeding the R -1A minimum standards. The single family attached twin home units proposed (south of 41st Avenue North) would be a maximum of 2 stories in height versus the approved 3 and 4 story multifamily units. The apartment units located north of 41st Avenue North, west of Mission Oaks are proposed as 2 and 3 story units with underground parking versus the approved 8 story midrise and 4 story multifamily units. The apartment units located north of 41st Avenue North, east of Mission Oaks would be 2 story units which is what was approved. A reduced height of the structures is proposed over the remaining PUD. The overall traffic impact from the proposed amendments is slightly less -- approximately 133 in the average daily trips - -due to the type of units proposed. The multifamily units generate a lesser trip generation rate per unit than the single family attached units that are proposed to be replaced. The impact to 41st Avenue North would be reduced (down approximately 1,000 average daily trips) while the impact to Old Rockford Road is an increase (up approximately 900 average daily trips), due to driveway access being changed from 41st Avenue North to Old Rockford Road. c. Internal organization and adequacy of various uses or density; circulation and aorkingfacilities; recreation areas: and open spaces. The Zoning Ordinance states the maximum number of dwelling units allowed in a development shall be determined by the density approved for the development within a minimum to maximum density range for the living area category shown in the adopted Comprehensive Plan. The see next page) File 89103 Page Five density proposed by the petitioner is consistent with the previously approved densities (640 market rate and a potential 130 subsidized for a total of 770 units). , The circulation of the streets with the exception of the length of Jonquil Lane is consistent with previous approvals. The Subdivision Code provides for the maximum length of a cul -de -sac to be 500 feet. The approved plan for Jonquil Lane was approximately 800 feet while the proposed plan is approximately 1,400 feet. 4. The petitioner is proposing a total of four entrance monument signs identifying different development areas within this portion of the PUD. The Zoning Ordinance allows for a total of two area identification signs not to exceed 32 square feet in surface area located at the entrance to the PUD. Recent amendments to the Planned Unit Development section of the Zoning Ordinance permit signage to be considered an element of PUD design subject to the flexibility inherent in the Planned Unit Development. As such, the concept of four entrance monument signs should be considered a proposed PUD design feature rather than a variance to the Zoning Ordinance. The PUD Ordinance provides for review of the PUD Master Sign Plan at the final plan stage. Specifics with respect to project signage should, at that time, be proposed. Staff has not reviewed signage aspects with this stage of the PUD, including number or location suggested. 5. If the Planning Commission determines that the proposed Planned Unit Development amendment maintains /or enhances the overall PUD design it would be in order to consider amending the Conditional Use Permit based upon review of the CUP criteria which are attached. 6. The proposed amendment will have an impact on the ground coverage which will result in a loss of open space, and possibly a loss of additional native trees versus the approved plan. The ground cover south of 41st Avenue North will be approximately 1.1 acres greater while the area north of 41st Avenue North will be approximately 1.7 acres greater. With the increase in ground coverage and the further extension of Jonquil Lane south of 41st Avenue North, there will be a greater impact on the steep slopes in this area. Due to the size of the structures in the area north of 41st Avenue North and the increased ground coverage, there will also be a greater impact on the steep slopes in this area. 7. The Preliminary Plan contemplates the maximum number of units for this development including the maximum number of subsidized units based on the maximum number of market rate units. The developer is proposing to have 48 of the subsidized units, along with six market rate units located east of the existing Mission Oaks development, and locating the other 12 subsidized units on the west of the Mission Oaks development. This is responsive to Development Review Committee comments related to the packing" subsidized units on one site. see next page) File 89103 Page Six In addition, Resolution 83 -348, Condition 3, specifically refers to the PUD "rules" with respect to locating subsidized units. PLANNING STAFF COMMENTS: 1. We are concerned that the proposed amendment does not maintain the integrity of the Planned Unit Development with the loss of private open space which is typically provide in an attached housing development. This concern is in relation to the 36 townhouse units proposed south of 41st Avenue North in lieu of three larger multifamily buildings in this same area. Our concern is that the original mix and variety of housing styles which were approved and the open space which served as part of the basis for the approved number of units, should not be eroded. 2. Another concern, which was raised previously, is the tendency to concentrate the multifamily structures at the perimeter of the development rather than providing a mix throughout the project. The overall development concept of a PUD is to provide a density and unit type mix; preserve open space; and, allow flexibility in design and zoning. Staff strongly recommends additional redistribution of the subsidized units, so if subsidized money is not available and thus the units are never built, densities would be more compatible with the LA -1 District rather than having the possibility of densities being below one unit per acre. 3. The Commission should determine whether or not the modifications to an approved plan may be needed. Continued and /or substantial changes may result in a less desirable plan. The Commission should discuss whether additional area identification impacts the neighborhood and PUD identity. The issue is: should the PUD plan be modified for a certain product on undevelopable land, which is part of a Planned Unit Development, and which was approved based upon certain design features and qualities? 4. Staff believes the redistribution of density along with the different types of units decreases the amount of usable open space that was originally contemplated with this Planned Unit Development. Existing residents bought into this approved plan with the open space areas which are being depleted. 5. The Subdivision Code clearly directs the Planning Commission to consider natural features of a site with any preliminary plat -- or amendment to a preliminary plat. The PUD section of the Zoning Ordinance also addresses presentation of natural site features as a desirable PUD attribute. The plan amendments proposed result in greater overall site coverage see next page) File 89103 Page Seven structures plus parking /drives). Because the site is forested with steep slopes that increase will likely result in an additional impact on natural site features versus the approved plan. 6. The proposed setback to Jonquil Lane for the "twinhome" structure is 20 feet. We recognize both the limited public use of Jonquil Lane by this plan, and the need to minimize site area disturbed. We note, however, that public street setbacks -- even under these circumstances have seldom been approved at less than 25 feet. Vehicle storage on the driveways may be adversely impacted -- particularly during snow months -- by a setback as little as 20 feet. 7. While structure height would be less with the amended plan, proximitX to other PUD structures will increase (particularly those structures south of 41st Avenue North). 8. The property we are dealing with is part of a Planned Unit Development. As such, the purposes and components of a Planned Unit Development must be addressed with reference to the opening paragraph of Subdivision B of Section 9 of the Zoning Ordinance. Here a Planned Unit Development is described as a process whereby the City grants the developer the opportunity for flexibility from the prescriptive standards of the Zoning Ordinance in return for "good design ". This relationship is carefully considered at the time that the PUD plan is reviewed by the City -- prior to the construction of the very first house. The standards established are considered to be a direct reflection of the beneficial aspects that the PUD plan presents to the City. The relationship between the PUD plan for this development and the extent to which flexibility from prescribed Zoning Ordinance standards was to be granted was established at the time of the original Conditional Use Permit. Unless there has been a change in that relationship that is applicable to all properties within the PUD, this portion of the PUD should not be granted additional flexibility. RECOMMENDATION: I cannot recommend approval of the proposed PUD amendment, as it is presented. The added potential impacts of the amendment on the PUD; the site features; and properties adjoining (but not within) the PUD exceed any added PUD attributes. I recommend the Planning Commission determine if the proposed amendment is appropriate. A recommendation for approval should be subject to at least those conditions stated in the draft resolution. If the Commission determines the proposal is inappropriate a recommendation for denial should be made on the basis that compliance with the PUD attributes and expectations for this PUD are not satisfied. see next page) File 89103 Page Eight The Planning Commission may remand the Plan amendment for redesign based on staff findings and the results of the Public Hearing. The findings of staff with respect to the relationship of impacts to PUD attributes could be mitigated with careful redesign. Submitted by: Charles E.

(Ord. 87 -17) EXPLANATION OF PROPOSED AIAIENDTIIIENT TO "1ISSION RPUD Description: Because of market considerations we are proposing an amnedment of the Mission RPUD Concept and Preliminary Development Stage Plan. Amended conceptual approval is sought for all remaining PUD sites. Preliminaryplat plan approvals are soug(th for allbutMissionOaks2ndaddition. The proposal includes a transfer of density and a change of unit types on the remaining 111ission Property. We are proposing shiftingofdensityfromGH5 & 6 and J1 center to J2 & (jH 1. The parcels GH 5 & 6 and J1 center will be co-m-orn—edlo torm a 36 unit raulit- family development and 3 single familyhomes. Preliminary approved with the Mission RPUD Preliminary Plan were Multi - familyattachedhousingareasonseveralsites. GH 5 & 6 were approved for 46 dwelling unitsonapproximately16.5 acres. J1 center contains 57 units on approximately 7.5acresandJ2 & GH 4 contain 80 units on 10.5 acres. These sites are immediately to thewestofi.lission Trails and VIission Ridge 2nd Addition. The present proposal calls for combining GH 5 & 6 and J1 center into a new development area. GH 5 & 6 north and J1 center are proposed to contain 36 Multi- family lots with 1 and 2 level Townhomes with dimensions and style similar to the preliminary drawingsthataccompanythisreport. The Townhomes will be available with a variety of optionsandfloorplans, all of which are designed to incorporate highly efficient use of space, sought after standard and optional features, and aesthetically pleasing, architecturallycompatibleexteriors. In GH 5 & 6 south we are proposing 3 single family lots accessedoffof36thAvenueNorth. The single family plans for these lots will offer choices of either 2, 3 or 4 bedrooms with an attached two or three car garage. Sale prices of boththesinglefamilyhomesandtheTownhomesareprojectedtorangeabove $140,000. The 3 single family lots would average approximately 23,000 square feet, be a mirlimum of 90 feet wide at the front yard setback and have no less than 20 feet of backyarddepth. The proposed minimum standards for the 3 single family lots are summarized below: Lot Area (sq. ft.) 16,900 Front Yard 301 Side Yard 101 Rear Yard 201 Lot Width at Building 901 Lot Depth 1801 Another part of our proposal involves a change in the concept of the housing type on J2. The approved plan allows 2 structures, a 8 story and a 4 story Mid -Rise. We believe the use of that site for an 8 story structure may no longer be appropriate. We now propose to place a lower profile structure on the site with a maximum of 3 storys over an underground parking garage. 1. Originally 2 buildings were proposed for this site and we are still proposing 2 buildings. The apartment building would be similar in style and construction to the Parkside Apartments. The other building would be a 16 unit building manor home that would range in height one story to 3 stories high with materials compatible to the apartment building. The GH 4 site is approved for 12 units of attached Multi- family housing. The proposed plan contemplates an increase to 14 units of attached Multi- family housing in a single structure. This building would be a manor home identical to the 16 unit on J2 but smaller. An effort is being made in the P.U.D. Amendment to shift density further from the existing single family neighborhood. It should also be noted that the on -site parking density has been increased from the 1.5 cars per unit at Parkside Apartments to a minimum of 2.0 cars per unit on the proposed Multi- family developments. A summary of the proposed changes are listed below: I. Market Rate Units W GH4 J1 Center GH 5 & 6 North GH5 &6South II.

Currently Number Building For Low /Mod program Approved Of Units Type 60 2 -3 Story 60 2 -3 Story Multi - Family Multi- Family Q Neighborhood Involvement: The conceptual planning process for the proposed changes to the approved preliminary plan began in the summer of 1987. We have held numerous meetings with the current property owners, civil engineers, the City of Plymouth staff and The Mission Hills Homeowners Association. The plan has evolved from an initial proposal of 121 apartment units and 48 townhomes to a compromise plan that tries to be sympathetic to the desires and concerns of the adjoining neighborhoods. We are currently submitting a revised plan that calls for 100 apartments, 30 manor homes, 36 tomhomes and 3 single family homes. The townhouse plans have changed from 30' wide 1,000 square feet foundation size to a 40' wide 1,500 square feet foundation size. The prices of these units have gone from the low $100,000 range to the $150,000 plus range. This represents a dramatic improvement in quality over what was originally contemplated. The approved preliminary plan also calls for a 50 foot outlot along the east edge of GH 5 & 6. It is our understanding that the city does not want this property for park land, so, as a conciliatory gesture we are proposing that the outlot be divided into smaller outlots and then deeded over to each adjacent homeowner as compensation for any inconvenience the change may have caused. These outlots would contain strict conservation provisions and deed restrictions that would not allow change or development without the approval of the Homeowners Association for the new twinhomes. Absolutely no removal of trees or other vegetation would be allowed. It is our feeling that the proposal we are submitting for review and approval is a fair and good compromise for all parties involved, and an improvement over the currently approved plan. Staging: This property will be developed in 3 stages. The first phase to be developed will be the 36 townhomes and 3 single family homes on parcels GH 5 & 6 and J1 center. This development is projected to proceed in the spring of 1990 with a model to be completed by the fall of 1990 and anticipated build period of 2 years. The second phase would be the apartment and manor home site J2 and GH 4. This parcel will proceed when market conditions improve for this type of project. The third phase is the Mission Oaks Second Addition and this parcel is on hold for a program that would make subsidized units feasible. KQ Natural Resource Analvsis: A. Terrain Characteristics The portion of the Mission RPUD proposed for amendment is rolling and partially wooded. Elevations range from a high of 965 on J2 and high of 959 on GH 5 & 6 to a low of 904 at the edge of the pond on the west edge of GH 5 & 6. The lowest elevations are along the southerly edge of the GH 5 & 6 and just north of 36th Avenue North. The dominant feature of the site is a north south ridge which dominates the east central portion of the property. The eastern edge of the property is on a heavily wooded slope and wherever possible existing mature trees will be preserved to assure excellent mitigation of the influence of the proposed Multi- family housing adjoining single family neighborhoods to the east. Where natural vegetation is not present we have used grade change to visually buffer the proposed development from the single family homes. The Townhomes are to be positioned along the east side of .the _proposed Jonquil Lane extension and back from the wooded portions of the slopes to preserve as much as possible of the natural beauty and utility of this amenity. The plans seek to minim ize alteration of the existing topography, either for street construction or for the preparation of individual building pads. The homes in the Mission Ridge and Mission Trail neighbors which directly abut this proposal are all constructed at significantly higher elevations than the proposed Townhouse development. The design of the development site on J2 is respectful of the existing topography and vegetation by sitting the building around the heavily wooded and sloping central portion of the J2 site. B. Geological /Hydrological Characteristics A survey of surrounding conditions indicates a variety of clayey and loamey soils. Most of the site has slight, if any, development limitations. Home construction is not to be attempted where severe limitations, such as steep slopes or poorly drained soils, exist. The rolling character of the topography, its tree cover, and the permeability of its soils tend to reduce the runoff generated by this land. The proposal does, however, anticipate the impact which the construction of ha[dsurfaces will have on storm drainage. C. Vegetation The site is primarily grassy rolling meadowland aId mo6erately to heavily wooded slopes. Trees appear to be a balanced mix of hardwoods and softwoods. Construction activity will avoid major tree concentrations. Where development is to occur, sensitivity to the environment has been a major consideration. Intermediate ground cover is generally a mix of wild and natural grasses and, in some locations, mixed wild flowers. 4. Vehicular Circulation: Under the proposed plan amendment GH 4 would have one access for the 14 unit manor home building located off of 41st Avenue North. J2 would have an access off of Rockford Road. Access to the proposed 36 unit Townhome development would be from Jonquil Lane. Jonquil Lane would be a dead end public street and would be extended from its present location to a culdesac located just to the east of the south end of the pond. The 36 Townhome units would have driveway access directly off of Jonquil Lane. The access to the 3 single family home lots would be from an extension off of 36th Avenue North culdesac which is located at the southern border of GH 5 and 6. This would be a public street and an additional culdesac would be provided at the end of this approximate 200 foot drive. With this amendment we are requesting an access off of old Rockford Road to Mission Oaks Second Addition. At the time the original plan was approved Rockford Road was a County Road with much higher traffic volume than at the present time. The construction of n&iCounty Road 9 creates an opportunity to encourage traffic to use the collector street system to the north, thereby, reducing the previously planned for traffic volume within the neighborhoods to the south and east.

There will be a Homeowners Association for the Townhomes. The lots will be individually platted and the surrounding property will be controlled and maintained by the Homeowners Association. A sample copy of similar association documents used on previous Townhouse projects will be available upon request. 6. Proiect Identification: An entrance monument for the Townhouse site would be constructed at the corner of 41st Avenue North and Jonquil Lane. This monument will be within an easement area dedicated for this purpose. The developer would be responsible for the maintenance of the easement area during construction and until the Homeowners Association assumes control of the development. The Homeowners Association will be required to maintain the easement by means of a covenant recorded with the Association documents. The apartment site J2 and GH 4 will also have a permanent entrance sign and monument. The apartment building monument will be located at the intersection of 41st Avenue North and old County Road 9. Each manor home building will have an entrance sign at their driveway entrances. The maintenance of the signage area will be the responsibility of the apratment management company. In addition to the permanent signs a bill- board type sign will be used during rent up to give project information to prospective tenants. 7. Land Ownership: The property that is part of this P.U.D. amendment application is all of the remaining property controlled by Mission Partnership.

Director Blank explained that the city is working on updating all comprehensive plans, and that PRAC has been working on updating the Master Park and Trail Plan adopted in 1981. Seven parcels have been identified as desirable for park land. This designation does not affect the zoning or guiding on the property. When the land is developed in the future, the city would acquire it through purchase or park dedication. The outlines of the proposed park land are just approximate at this time. The final boundaries would be determined at the time of development. Parcel 1 -A Northeast of County Road 9 and Fernbrook. Owned by Harold Hytjan. Bordered by 494 on east and existing parkland on west, surrounding the north side of a pond area. Designated as a neighborhood park with a main intent of preserving trees. There were no citizen comments on this parcel. Parcel 2 -A Southern side of the pond. Owned by Harold Hytjan. Tree preservation important. There were no citizen comments on this parcel. Parcel 1 -C West of 1 -A and 1 -B and south of the existing parkland. Owned by Robert Sevy. Liv Horneland (8804 Knollwood Dr., Eden Prairie) with Coldwall Banker, spoke for Mr. Sevy. Mr. Sevy has a purchase agreement in place with a developer at the present time. He is concerned with the size and shape of the proposed park, since it takes up a considerable portion of his land. Since the developer is purchasing land from two different owners for this development, Mr. Sevy is concerned that if the agreement falls through, the large parkland proposal on his property would adversely affect the value of his property in the future. The developer is aware of park dedication requirements. July 1989 PRAC Minutes Page 29 Parcel 2 Located north of Plymouth Creek Park. Preservation of the hillside is a prime consideration. Owned by the Thornton's. Attorney Wade Anderson represented the Thornton's. They have a purchase agreement with a developer, and hope to have the final plat approval and closing in September. Director Blank stated that he has been in contact with the developer, and the developer has agreed to the park dedication as shown. However, this parcel still needs to be approved in the Comprehensive Plan in case this purchase agreemnt falls through. Parcel 3A East of County Road 101 and north of County Road 24. Owned by Richfield Bank & Trust. Parcel is east of previously designated parkland. Would add to the flexibility of this neighborhood park. Preservation of-trees and marshland would be important. There were no citizen comments on this parcel. Parcel 3B West of Parcel 3A. Owned by Clinton Stromseth. Preservation of trees and marshland also important. There were no citizen comments on this parcel. Parcel 4 Southeast of Old County Rd 9 and Dunkirk Lane, by Plymouth Creek Elementary School. Owned by Anna Jordan. Would be designated as a Playfield. Bill Pritchard with Orrin Thompson Homes spoke against this park site. Orrin Thompson has a purchase agreement on this land. The site contains 118 acres, and 50 acres would go toward the park. When they first approached the city about the Comprehensive Park Plan, an area to the west of this parcel was designated as park. The land on which they have a purchase agreement is zoned as semi- public. They felt the parkland was workable as originally shown. They are not opposed to having a neighborhood park in this area, but are opposed to the size and type of park the city is proposing, a playfield. He feels it would have a negative impact on the neighborhood and on housing value. He would like to work with the Planning Commission and Council to re -guide this land to LA -2 and would prefer to dedicate about $217,000 in lieu of land. He would like the park to remain on the west side of the development. Mr. Pritchard stated that he is going to the Planning Commission meeting on August 9. Parcel 5 Southeast of County Road 44 and Juneau Lane. Owned by Sanford Williams. The Comprehensive Plan had showed a playfield by Pomerleau Lake, however there is a house there now. An alternative was sought. Mr. Williams has sold the eastern 200 feet to Hennepin Parks for a trail corridor, which would bisect our park lands and provide good public access. The 25 acres in this parcel would be good for a playfield. No sewer is available, and the land would probably not be developed in the foreseeable future. Sanford Williams (14511 County Road 47) stated that there is no wetland or trees to preserve on this piece of property; it is farmland. He objects to the park because it would not leave him with enough land to develop. Parcel 6 South of Mud Lake, connecting to current park land around the lake. Tree preservation and development of neighborhood park key goals. Owned by Greg Begin. Mr. Begin (5525 Renium Lane) stated that July 1989 PRAC Minutes Page 30 he was against the park because the city already has him tied up in court, and now they are trying to take his home. His home is on the property. Jerome Begin (5635 Vicksburg Lane) also owns part of this property. He stated that there is no way the city can take this land unless they pay him $10 million. Parcel 7 West of Zachary Playfield and north of County Road 9. Owned by the Forster's. It would create a buffer zone between housing and the playfield. Tom Forster (11420 County Road 9) stated that he was unhappy with the condemnation of his land for the water treatment plant, and he probably won't get fair value for this land. He disagrees with the size, not the idea of the buffer zone. Commissioner Freels asked about the idea of a trade for some land owned by the city south of County Road 9. Mr. Forster felt that the value of that land was not as great. He doesn't feel that a buffer is really very necessary because houses do abutt the park in other portions of the park. He has had some layouts done by potential developers, but none of them contain a buffer zone. The commissioners discussed what their next step should be. Commissioner Rosen requested that Director Blank set up a working meeting, perhaps with Planning Department staff or the City attorney, to better clarify their role. They would like to meet at 5:30, sometime soon. Director Blank stated that a September or October joint meeting with the Planning Commission had been discussed. Chair Edwards said the Commission should hold back action at the present time so that the commissioners can think over the citizens' objections and come back to the next meeting with some ideas. b Amouth Cr Parkin x ansion at The in lotpK e rly do It sti need a inch w r r, li and lan scap' g.

SUMMARY OF FINDINGS AND RECOMMENDATIONS The following is a summary of our findings and recommendations from this study: FINDINGS 1. Plymouth playfield facility standards compare favorably with standards from neighboring communities. 2. Community playfield acreage standards for some facilities do not meet area needs. 3. City wide population growth has surpassed projections in the 1982 Park System Plan and playfield facilities are deficient. 4. The Elm Creek Community will require 36 acres for playfield facilities by the year 2010. 5. The city currently owns sufficient land for the Bass Lake communities projected year 2010 playfield needs. 6. Proposed land use guide plan changes will require one additional neighborhood park in Elm Creek and one in the Bass Lake Community prior to the year 2010. Mr. Eric Blank December 21, 1989 Plymouth Park System Final Report B&A 89 -40 RECOMMENDATIONS 1. No changes are necessary in playfield facility standards. 2. Increase the standard acreage for the following playfield facilities: softball /baseball (601- 75 1) from 2 AC.to 2.9 AC. baseball (90 1) from 2 AC. to 4.2 AC. football /soccer from 1.5 AC. to 3.0 AC. hockey from .42 AC. to 1.3 AC. 3. The following playfield facilities need to be added to meet 1990 needs: softball /baseball (60, - 75,) ...............3 each baseball (90 ,) ....... ..............................6 each hockey rinks ......... ..............................3 each football /soccer fields ..........................4 each 4. Acquisition of land for a playfield for the Elm Creek community should be considered before available land within the M.U.S.A. line becomes scarce. 5. Acquisition of land for a future playfield west of 494 for the Bass Lake community should be considered. 6. Early acquisition of land should be considered for one neighborhood park in the Elm Creek community. Develop one neighborhood park, (Mud Lake Neighborhood Park). 2 Mr. Eric Blank December 21, 1989 Plymouth Park System Final Report B&A 89 -40 FACIUTIES STANDARDS & PROJECTED CITY WIDE NEEDS STANDARDS In an effort to update your existing facility standards for community playfields several standards were to be researched, including national, state and local standards. Unfortunately the National Park & Recreation Association standards have not been updated since October 1980. Both the Metro Council and the Minnesota Recreation and Park Association refer to and rely on the N.R.P.A. for guidance. This leaves us with comparisons of local communities to update the facility standards. The cities chosen for the comparison, Minnetonka, Eden Prairie, and Maple Grove are similar to Plymouth in that they are all located in the western suburban metro area, all have been fairly rapid in growth and have similar population characteristics. Your specific concerns were for updated standards for hockey, tennis courts, and softball fields. I have also included comparisons of football, soccer, and baseball. Modified 12/14/89 as directed by P.R.A.C. Plymouths Community playfield standards meet, within reason, the other communities standards for facilities compared. The only exception is hockey, which falls short. Based upon the cities demand for soccer facilities some change in the facility standard should be considered. This should be based upon the cities increasing field use. 3 SELECTED COMMUNrrY PLAYFIELD FACILrTY STANDARDS - #Facilities /1000 Population PLYMOUTH MAPLE GROVE EDEN PRAIRIE MINNETONKA AVERAGE Hockey 25/1000 33/1000 5/1000 5/10D0 39/1000 Tennis 5/1000 66/1000 5/1000 5/1000 54/1000 Softball 5/1000 5/10D0 2/1000 5/10D0 42/1000 Baseball 2/1000 14/1000 2/1000 2/1000 185/1000 Football /Soccer .3/1000* 25/1000 N.D. 2/1000 216/1000 Football N.D. 05 /1000 N.D. 05/1000 Soccer N.D. 1/1000 N.D. 1 /1000 Modified 12/14/89 as directed by P.R.A.C.

This should be based upon the cities increasing field use. 3 Mr. Eric Blank Plymouth Park System Final Report December 21, 1989 B&A 89 -40 Although not specifically requested, I would like to suggest the following modifications be made to the standard areas required for a few of the Community Playfield facilities.

The projections are for saturation at the current M.U.S.A. line and assume a straight line growth. Attached to this report is the inventory of existing facilities supplied by your office. With a current population of 51,390, we have calculated the current demand for each facility. it is assumed that softball fields must have backstops, skinned infields, and a minimum foul line range of 200 to 300 feet.

Modified 12/14/89 as directed by P.R.A.C. These projected needs are compared with existing facilities to determine the demand for new facilities between 1989/90 and 2010. This analysis assumes the participation in these sports continues to grow in proportion to the straight line growth in population.

Additional hockey rinks are also needed. If in fact the standards for these community playfield facilities were correctly calculated in the 1982 Park System Plan and they compare favorably with current standards from other communities, the question needs to be asked as to how Plymouth finds it's self today with these shortages? The answer lies in the explosive growth in population experienced by the city in the last eight years. This growth has accelerated the need for these facilities. The population today is over 18% higher than was predicted for the year 1989 in the 1982 Park System Plan. The chart below compares the 1982 population projections with current projections. COMPARISON OF POPULATION PROJECTIONS YEAR 1982 PROJECTION 1989 PROJECTION 1989 DIFFERENCE 1990 43,500 52,939 +21.7% 2000 54,000 68,426 + 26.7% 2010 --- 83,913 -- Development of additional Community Playfield facilities will have to be accelerated if the city is to keep pace with demand. BASS LAKE & ELM CREEK COMMUNITY PLAYFIELD NEEDS ELM CREEK In review of the proposed changes made in the guided land use for the Elm Creek Community, the Plymouth planning staff has recalculated the projected populations for this area. These projections, as stated earlier, are to saturation and do not project any changes in the M.U.S.A. line or land use. The revised population for the Elm Creek Community at the year 2010 is 8760. It should be noted that the vast majority of this population will be concentrated in the southern s of the community.

Modified Area Requirements used, (see Area Requirements Community Playfield), this report. 2. Based upon the assumption that softball, baseball, and football /soccer fields could all be in use simultaneously, (40 cars each, for softball and baseball and 44 each for football /soccer). It should be recognized that 36 acres for community playfields in the Elm Creek Area does not account for future changes in land use. If one playfield is developed in this community, certain portions of the population will be outside the 1.5 mile service radius for a single playfield. Currently, no land is owned by the city in this community for playfield use. Our recommended community playfield location for acquisition and development in the Elm Creek community is shown on the attached graphic #1. The location, adjacent to the Plymouth Creek Elementary School has the following advantages over the location indicated in the 1982 plan: gentle rolling topography adjacent to school excellent trail access cleared land with pockets of hardwoods vehicular access on two sides land is available in acreage required central to land within M.U.S.A. rA I LA A.J.1 Ano.ow. ow, ft d IP r 1. i l i " T.

Additionally, some of this reserve will be lost to slopes and to existing trees. Consideration should be given to setting aside land for a playfield on the west side of 494. This was also suggested in the 1982 System Plan. Keep in mind the fact that 494 acts as a major barrier in this community. Our recommended community playfield location for acquisition in the Bass Lake community is shown on the attached graphic #2. Adjacent to Mud Lake, this location has many of the same attributes at the location recommended in the 1982 Plan. access to regional trail system adjacent to a body of water vehicular access on two sides central to west h of community cleared land with pockets of hardwoods Land acreage required for this facility is not easily determined. A minimum population should be projected by the city for this area with urban services so that a quantity may be determined. Acquisition could then take place prior to further rises in land values. 0 I f Rik I __:., i- '..:: ::, : +, _} •,, , ; •,= ;.'ern .:,:.,... . a 1 Y II I.

DRAFT AMENDMENT NO. 1 HEARING DATE: March 28. 1990 Clarification of allowable use in the residence district relative to municipal and public buildings and services and the inclusion of Adult Correctional Facility. SECTIONS INVOLVED: Section 7, Subdivision C (Item 18) EXPLANATION /PURPOSE: The item needs further clarification as evidenced by inquiries about its meaning, even since the last amendment under Ordinance 89 -38. The amendments approved under that ordinance also provided a comprehensive update of the zoning code relative to a variety of care facilities and correctional facilities. New and more precise definitions were added to the ordinance and extensive modifications were made to clarify where these facilities could be located; however, the amendments inadvertently deleted reference to institutions" (at Item 18) and, at the same time, failed to insert the term correctional facility (adult)" which is now defined by the ordinance. The net-effect is that the Hennepin County Adult Corrections Facility is in a zoning "limbo" of nonconformity, despite the finding several years ago that it could legally continue as a conditional use subject to an approved general development plan. Whereas, the Planning Commission has discussed on occasion the possibility of establishing a new zoning district which could include a variety of institutional facilities and uses, that complex and potentially controversial step may be some time in the making; in the meantime, provisions should be made for the existing facility. The purpose therefore of the amendments is to clarify the ordinance relative to public uses and to insert appropriate terms that now precisely define terminology that will continue the zoning status of the Adult Correctional Facility as an allowable conditional use. CONCLUSIONS %RECOMMENDATIONS: 1. The proposed revisions are necessary for clarification and do not represent the introduction of new uses or the elimination of old uses except to the extent that the oversight of Ordinance 89 -38 is rectified. 2. The Planning Commission should conduct a Public Hearing about and make a recommendation to approve the following changes: a. Amend item 18 in Section 7, Subdivision C of the Zoning Ordinance to read as follows: Municipal administration and service buildings or uses, ineluding public libraries, museums, post offices, and the like, except incompatible activity of an industrial characte type -ages; Adult Corrections Facilities in operation as of November 20, 1989.

CITY OF PLYMOUTH COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT DEPARTMENT PLANNING AND ZONING APPLICATION STAFF REPORT REPORT DATE: March 21, 1990 COMMISSION MEETING DATE: March 28, 1990 FILE NO.: 90010 PETITIONER: 918 Plymouth Partners REQUEST: Site Plan Amendment LOCATION: 9750 County Road 9 GUIDE PLAN CLASS: CL (Limited Business) ZONING: B -1 (Office Limited Business) BACKGROUND: On November 3, 1986, the City Council approved a Site Plan for Welsh Companies, Inc. for a 15,000 square foot office building, which has been constructed. No variances were approved with the exception of a fire lane variance on the north side of the structure. This parking lot expansion is proposed in conjunction with the Site Plan and variance proposed on the vacant parcel to the west under File 90011. PRIMARY ISSUES AND ANALYSIS: 1. The applicant proposes expansion of the existing parking lot to the west to be a shared parking lot with the site to the west. The petitioner states the additional parking is needed to relieve parking problems at the site. The existing parking meets the Ordinance minimum requirements for this type of building. 2. The proposed Site Plan amendment is responsive to the City of Plymouth's policies, codes, and ordinances that apply to this type of construction. Specifically, the Site Plan amendment proposes parking lot design and setbacks consistent with the Zoning Ordinance. In addition the petitioner proposes that the parking lot be constructed with a temporary "dust- free," but not paved, surface at this time until the site to the west is developed. 3. The petitioner seeks approval of shared parking and drive facilities with the property to the west, which is consistent with Zoning Ordinance provisions for business uses, before a principal use is developed on the adjacent site. Section 10, Subdivision B, 5h (3) addresses this. This is being proposed in conjunction with the Site Plan and variance under File 90011. see next page) f File 90010 Page Two 4. Reference is made to the petitioner's correspondence explaining the proposed parking lot construction. 5. The site is located within the New Hope Outlet Drainage District. It is not located within a Shoreland Management Zone, nor does it contain any wetlands. The site contains no major woodlands or severe slopes. The soils appear suitable for urban capability with public sewers. PLANNING STAFF COMMENTS: 1. The Site Plan meets or exceeds the Ordinance requirements with respect to design. 2. No firm basis for parking lot construction without the City standard hard surface (7 ton /5 ton) and 8612 curb and gutter has been presented. Whether the parking is termed "temporary" or not the construction standard should be met. The new parking area should be constructed consistent with this approved site plan amendment design -- or not constructed. 3. The duration of the accessory parking without a principal use on the adjacent site can be detailed with File 90011. However, approval of this request should include a condition legally linking the duration of this parking to the terms of File 90011. The possibility that development will not be realized on the adjacent site - -in the near future and /or as proposed- -needs to be recognized here. The shared parking MU terminate if planned events on the adjacent site are not realized. 4. An option has existed and will continue to exist for this property. The site to the west could be acquired and consolidated. The approval of the requested situation should reflect that option since it is another feasible way this petitioner's parking needs can be met. 5. Approval should be conditioned upon approval of the plan and variance under File 90011. RECOMMENDATION: I hereby recommend approval of the requested Site Plan amendment, subject to the conditions noted _ Submitted by: Charles E. Dillerud, Cbmmunity Development Coordinator ATTACHMENTS: 1. Recommendations for Approval of Site Plan Amendment 2. Engineer's Memorandum 3. Location Map 4. Petitioner's Correspondence 5.

Minnesota 55344 612 944 5810 RE: Variance Request to construct an Accessory Parking Lot on a Parcel Without a Pre - existing Principle Structure Dear Sirs /Madams: The 918 Partnership would like to request a variance with respect to the construction of an accessory parking lot on the one acre parcel of land to the west of the Camden Medical Building at 9750 Rockford Road owned by the 918 Partnership. We are in the process of acquiring this particular site for the development of a second building and the use of the site for temporary parking to support the existing office clinic. The temporary parking lot will be transformed into permanent parking once a tenant is found to occupy the proposed building. Plymouth's Zoning Ordinance Section 11 Subdivision C . d - 1. The 918 Partnership is presently experiencing hardships because the existing building and parking configuration will not allow any additional parking due to the limits of the building set backs and set backs from property lines and drive ways. The request for the variance is to add additional parking that can not be added to the existing site. Plvmouth's Zoning Ordinance Section 11 Subdivision C . d - 2. The conditions upon which this variation is based is unique to this particular parcel of land because the off street parking regulations have been met yet a major parking problem still exists. Plymouth's Zoning Ordinance Section 11 Subdivision C . d - 3. The 918 Partnership is not purchasing this property to increase the value of this parcel of land. We are interested in this property solely to alleviate the parking problems of the existing building. If this variance is not granted, this property will not be purchased. WelshConstnuction Plymouth Planning Commission and City Council February 8, 1990 Page Two Plymouth's Zoning Ordinance Section 11 Subdivision C . d - 4. We have followed the ordinance pertaining to the off street parking to the strict letter of the regulations, but still there is a major parking problem associated with this Medical Building. Plymouth's Zoning Ordinance Section 11 Subdivision C . d - 5. The variation we are requesting is to strictly benefit the welfare of the public. The additional parking we are proposing will keep the public from parking on the frontage road and allow them to park in the designated parking lot. It will also eliminate the carpooling from the Holiday parking lot across a busy intersection to the medical facilities. Plymouth's Zoning Ordinance Section 11 Subdivision C . d - 6. The proposed parking will not impair an adequate supply of light or air to the adjacent property because we will not be constructing any barriers. Providing an additional parking lot will allow people to park in the parking lot in lieu of the Frontage Road, which will decrease the congestion of the public streets and increase public safety. The development we are proposing will convert a parcel of property that requires major soils correction into a usable piece of property which will substantially increase the property tax base for the City of Plymouth. The City of Plymouth is aware associated parking problems. alleviated without compliance hope the City of Plymouth will variance.

February 7, 1990 Plymouth Planning Commission and City Council City of Plymouth 3400 Plymouth Blvd. Plymouth, Minnesota 55447 RE: Variance Request to eliminate fire lane at the proposed 918 II Building Dear Sirs /Madams: The 918 Plymouth Partnership is requesting that a variance be granted by the Plymouth City Council to alleviate a fire lane at the proposed 918 II Building on the one acre lot to the west of the Camden Medical Building at 9750 Rockford Road owned by the 918 Partnership. Compliance with this Fire Lane Ordinance will result in hardship to us as future owners of this property for the following reasons: Allowing for all the required set backs and fire lane widths would dramatically shrink the footage of the proposed building to approximately 5,000 square feet, giving us an 11% building to land ratio, making it unfeasible to construct a building and parking lot of that size. The soil conditions are such that the building footprint is limited to the western most area of the site. If the variance is not grated, it is very likely that the 918 partnership will not develop this project and the parking problems at the existing site will continue. The granting of this variance will not be detrimental to the public welfare or injurious to the property or improvements in the neighborhood. We feel that this building will be adequately protected by the existing fire hydrant located on the south side of this parcel, a siamese connection at the south face of the building, a fully automated sprinkler fire extinguishing system and drive areas for fire trucks on the east and south sides of this building that will be constructed for a 7 ton capacity. In addition the proposed building footprint is small enough to allow firemen and hoses to access all sides of the building. The City of Plymouth is aware of the parking problems that the existing structure is experiencing. We are doing everything in our power to develop the parcel of land to the west of this existing building to alleviate this problem. I WelshConstructloil I Plymouth Planning Commission and City Council February 7, 1990 Page Two We hope the City of Plymouth will agree with us and grant us this variance. sincerely, E. Paul Dunn Partner 918 Plymouth Partners EPD /jmb 020790.lr2 I 11 Z 'e • •I. 1• M. 1. That because of the particular physical surroundings, shape, or topographical conditions of the specific parcel of land involved, a particular hardship to the owner would result, as distinguished fran a mere inconvenience, if the strict letter of the regulations were to be carried out. 2. That the conditions upon which a petition for a variation is based are unique to the parcel of land for which the variance is sought and are not applicable, generally, to other property within the same zoning classification. 3. That the purpose of the variation is not based exclusively upon a desire to increase the value or income potential of the parcel of land. 4. That the alleged difficulty or hardship is caused by this Ordinance and has not been created by any persons presently having an interest in the parcel of land. 5. That the granting of the variation will not be detrimental to the public welfare or injurious to other land or improvements in the neighborhood in which the parcel of land is located. 6. That the proposed variation will not inpair an adequate supply of light and air to adjacent property, or substantially increase the congestion of the public streets, or increase the danger of fire, or endanger the public safety, or substantially diminish or impair property values within the neighborhood. forms:o >pl /zon.stnd /s) 10/89
