On March 17, 1994: City staff met with the applicant to provide final guide lines. Over
the past year and a half, the applicant submitted a number of plats. '
Staff continuously sent comments explaining changes that needed to
be made to the submittal. The submittal before last showed 36 lots
results of the investigation indicated that the septic sites were '
unsuitable.
On April 20,1994: Staff requested that revised plans be resubmitted no later than July 5,
1994 to the Planning Department. This date allowed Resource
Engineering enough time to complete their soil tests and analysis, and
for the applicant's engineering firm to respond -to the requested
revisions.
On August 22, 1994: The City Council reviewed and continued this application and '
directed staff to address the following issues:
clustered on the west side of Highway 101, with an area of
approximately one acre per lot. The remainder of the site was platted
as an outlot. The overall density of the site was one unit per 2.5
acres. Staff had concerns over the septic systems. Staff agreed to set
up an escrow fund using $1,000 received from the applicant to hire
Resource Engineering. The firm was authorized by the City on
March 29, 1994 to begin a preliminary investigation of the individual a
sewage treatment system (ISTS) sites using the escrow fund. The
* Obtain a legal opinion on whether the applicant needed to maintain '
a 2.5 acre area per lot or an overall average density of 2.5 acres.
* Determine if the overall density should include the nursery portion
of the site. '
* Provide screening for homes located south of the easterly portion
of the proposed subdivision.
* Resolve the access /private driveway issue for homes located south
of the easterly portion of the proposed subdivision.
On September 12, 1994: This item appeared before the City Council with a legal opinion from '
the City Attorney regarding the lot sizes that needed to be maintained
within the subdivision. The City Council moved to allow a 2'/2 acre
average for the overall density, including the nursery property, for
Halla's Great Plains Golf Estates preliminary plat.
On September 26 1994: The City Council approved the preliminary plat for Subdivision '
p � Y Pp P �'Y P
#86 -31 for Great Plains Golf Estates as shown on the plans dated
June 6, 1994, subject to conditions. '

PROPOSAL /SUMMARY
A revised final plat is being considered again after finding acceptable septic mound sites on two
outlots (B and C) of the June 26, 1995 approved final plat. These two outlots are now being
platted as buildable lots. Approval of the development contract and final construction plans and
specifications were pulled three times previously from City Council agendas due to continual
changes in the final plat, items missing from the submittal or trying to resolve disagreements in
the conditions of approval with the applicant. The plans have evolved until finally the current plan
was submitted for city review.
STREETS
The revised final plat has relocated Columbine Trail easterly one lot to facilitate a septic /mound
system on Lot 2, Block 3 which was previously platted as Outlot C. Outlot B has also been
platted into Lot 1, Block 6. The intersection of Trunk Highway 101 and Halla Nursery Drive
East/West has been relocated southerly by approximately 60 feet. Staff was contacted last week
by the applicant requesting this change. Engineering staff is comfortable with this change
contingent upon MnDOT approval of this location and that the sight distance at the intersection
meets MnDOT standards based on the posted speeds. Right turn lanes are proposed along Trunk
Highway 101 at Halla Nursery Drive and at Pioneer Trail and Halla Nursery Drive East. The
right turn at Trunk Highway 101 and Creekwood Drive will be installed in the future under a joint
cooperative project between MnDOT and the City.
Final street construction plans have been submitted to the City for review and approval. Staff has
previously reviewed the construction plans and sent changes to the developer's engineer.
However, staffs plans were not submitted with the revised plans as requested. Staff will be
reviewing the final plans this week to determine if all the previous changes have been
incorporated into the plans. Staff requests the City Council grant staff the flexibility to
administratively approve the construction plans after final review.
The City has 20 -foot wide trail easements along both sides of future and existing Trunk Highway
101 right -of -way through the plat. The plans propose on landscaping and berming along Trunk
Highway 101 which will encroach upon the City's trail easement. In addition, there are two
septic mound sites (Lots 1 and 8, Block 2) which encroach upon the City's trail easement as well.
All berms and proposed landscaping and mound systems need to be relocated outside the City's
trail easement. The existing vegetation/landscaping may remain until the trails are constructed, at
which time they would be removed.
DRAINAGE
The drainage plans have been revised in accordance with staff s recommendations. The
development is meeting the City's water quality standards in accordance with SWMP. Therefore,
1

d
IJ
1
' Halla's Great Plains Estates
October 16, 1995
' Page 11
the water quality fees have been waived for this development. The water quantity charges for this
' project have been reduced based on the land use and the on -site ponding that is being provided.
Staff has calculated the applicant's water quantity connection charge at $16,346. This amount also
takes into account the two additional lots that are being platted now. Staff previously requested
' that the applicant do an analysis of the existing ponding area on Lot 10 for its water quality
abilities. Staff feels that at this time it is not necessary to prepare this analysis and should be done
when and if Lot 10, Block 1 is subdivided in the future. Staff is, however, recommending that a
drainage easement be dedicated on the final plat over the existing ponding area since it conveys
runoff from both Lots 11 and 12, Block 1, as well as the existing golf course through Lot 10,
Block 1 to Trunk Highway 101. The applicant's engineer has supplied the City with detailed
stormwater and ponding calculations for the development. Staff has found the calculations
acceptable with one minor change which will be submitted back to the applicant's engineer for
revision. The revision involves re- running the computer analysis for Pond E to reflect the actual
pond storage being provided with the plans.
' The construction plans indicate that the proposed stormwater pond on Lot 15, Block 1 will
encroach upon property outside the subdivision (Lot 1, Block 1, Great Plains Golf Estates which
is owned by Mark Halla). The applicant will need to dedicate to the City at no cost a drainage and
' utility easement over the ponding area outside of the plat to the City prior to the City recording
the plat.
GRADING
The grading plan proposes cutting the slopes along Trunk Highway 101 just north of Creekwood
' Drive to improve sight lines as requested by staff. The landscape plan shows numerous existing
landscape plantings in this area. These plantings will need to be temporarily relocated during the
grading operation or relocated altogether. The City owns a trail easement in this same area in
' which no landscaping should be permitted.
The proposed landscaped areas and berms on Lots 1, 2, 16, 17 and 18, Block 1, encroach upon the
City's trail easement. In addition, Pond C on Lot 2, Block 1 does as well. All of these items must
be relocated outside of the City's trail easement.
' The grading plan has inadvertently omitted the dwelling elevations on each lot. The grading plan
needs to be revised to include the building elevations (lowest floor, garage slab and top of block
' elevations).
With this type of rural street design, individual driveway culverts will be needed for most of the
driveways as the lots are built upon. Builders and/or property owners will need to contact the
City's engineering department for culvert sizing requirements.

MISCELLANEOUS
On the grading and landscape plan the applicant is proposing a tennis court by others and parking
lot facility within the City's roadway easement for future Trunk Highway 101. This type of use is
not and should not be permitted within the City's right -of -way. The landscaping plan shows two
additional ponding areas proposed on Lot 9, Block 2 and Lot 3, Block 5. If the applicant wishes
to construct these ponding areas it should be shown on the grading plan. These ponding areas will
not be owned or maintained by the City.
As a result of shifting Halla Nursery Drive East southerly 60 feet, the septic mound sites were
relocated on Lot 1, Block 3. These sites have not been approved by a certified ISTS site
evaluator. Therefore, a condition has been added requiring the proper documentation and plans
revised and provided to the city for review and approval by November 15, 1995, or the final plat
will be rescinded.
LANDSCAPING
The landscaping plan dated September 25, 1995, received October 13, 1995, shows a proposed
tennis court to be constructed within future right -of -way for TH 101. A right -of -way easement
has been acquired from Mr. Halla. No structures are permitted within this easement. The plans
also show a Parking and Farming Easement over the future right -of -way. This use will create a
situation which is nonconforming with the residential use. Hence, if this easement is in existence,
then approval of this plat is contingent upon vacation of the easement.
A large number of existing trees along TH 101 which are proposed to be preserved are within
grading limits. The applicant should move the trees temporarily and place them back after
grading is complete. If the size of the tree is too large to allow the moving of the tree, a
replacement tree should be planted.
The ponds located south of Pioneer Trail, and to the east and west of Halla Nursery Drive East
(Lot 9, Block 2 and Lot 3, Block 5) must be removed since they are not reflected on the grading
plan.
The landscape buffer shall be extended to the south, along the east side of proposed TH 101 Right
of Way.
SIGNAGE
The landscaping plan dated September 25, 1995, received October 13, 1995, shows two "sign
easements with existing signs" located along the east and west corners of the intersection of
Pioneer Trail and TH 101, one sign easement along the intersection of Creekwood Drive and TH
101, and a fourth sign easement along the northeast corner of the site. These signs must be

eliminated. Once the site has been platted, these signs will become off premise signs creating a
nonconforming situation. Hence, all existing signs must be removed before the plat has been
filed.
Any neighborhood identification signs will require a sign permit.
PARK DEDICATION
Full park and trail fees will be collected at time of building permit issuance per city ordinance in
lieu of land acquisition and/or trail construction.
