MEMORANDUM
TO: Mayor and City Council
1 FROM: Jo Ann Olsen, Senior Planner
DATE: June 10, 1993
SUBJ: Reconsideration of Condition of Approval, Requiring Dedication of a Trail
Easement, Laurent Addition
1 Paul Laurent has approached staff asking for reconsideration of one condition of approval for the
Laurent Addition plat. Mr. Laurent is requesting that he not be required to dedicate a trail
easement.
1 City Council Procedures for reconsideration are as follows:
5.04. Reconsideration. A motion to reconsider any action taken by the Council
may be made at any time following original action. A motion to reconsider must
be made by a member of the Council who voted with the prevailing side. Should
1 a motion to reconsider fail, an additional request for reconsideration cannot occur
for a period of six months following the date of the first motion for
1 reconsideration. If a motion to reconsider is passed, then parties entitled to notice
shall be notified and action shall be taken at the next regular meeting following
passage of the motion to reconsider. Should the City Council determine that other
1 parties are not likely to be affected by an item presented for reconsideration, the
City Council may, at its discretion, act on the original action the same evening as
the Council votes on reconsideration.
1 I have spoken to Mayor Chmiel regarding this item (who voted on the prevailing side), and he
has agreed to move for reconsideration. If the City Council approves reconsideration of this
1 item, I will schedule it for the June 28th meeting. I have enclosed a copy of the report on this
item to refresh the Council's memory on this item.

PROPOSAL /SUMMARY
Plat
' The applicant is proposing to subdivide his property into two single family lots. There is a home
with accessory buildings on the existing lot. It is part of a farm that remains in operation. The
entire lot is 68.53 acres. County Road 14 (Pioneer Trail) runs along the southern property line.
A large portion of the 68 acre property will eventually be taken for right -of- way for Highway
212 (Attachment #3). There is a large wetland classified as Ag/Urban north of the existing
home and Bluff Creek runs through the property.
1 The subject property is outside the MUSA area and will not be serviced by municipal sanitary
sewer or water. A development contract will not be necessary with the subdivision since there
are no public or private improvements being proposed.
The overall density of this property was calculated using the entire property under the ownership
' of the Laurents. A large portion of the property will be taken for the Highway 212 right -of -way
is still under the ownership of the Laurents. Bluff Creek runs through the property to the north
of the existing home and to the east of the home. There is a large wetland located around the
area of Bluff Creek. The wetland has been classified as Ag/Urban portions of this wetland will
be modified with the construction of Highway 212. This subdivision will not affect the wetland.
Staff is recommending that the plat be revised to show an easement over the wetland and Bluff
1 Creek and an outlot designation on the Highway 212 right -of -way (see Attachment #3).
Lot 1, Block 1, will be 2.25 acres in size. The city recently amended the A2 and RR zoning
1 districts to allow for a minimum lot size of 15,000 square feet or sufficient in size to allow for
two drain field sites. The Inspections Division is requesting the proposed locations of the on -site
sewage treatment sites be submitted for review prior to the final plat approval. This is to ensure
' that the lot is suitable for two drain field sites.
' The ordinance still requires a 1 unit per 10 acre density. The created lot meets this requirement.
The overall density is 2 units per 68.53 acres. The existing home on the lot will meet all of the
setback standards except that when additional right -of -way along Pioneer Trail is dedicated, the
barn will be only 5 feet from the property line. The lot being created will have to meet the front
and rear setback of 30 feet and side yard setback of 10 feet. Access to Lot 1 (the lot being
created) will have to be approved by the County. The County may require a common driveway.
1 This issue will have to be resolved before the final plat is approved.

Future Trunk Highway 212 right-of-way is shown over Lot 2, Block 1 of the proposed

subdivision. Staff is recommending that the applicant dedicate the necessary trunk highway right- I
of -way; however, as a minimum, the portion proposed for highway taking should be platted as
an outlot as this area will be a no -build area. County Road 14 (Pioneer Trail) is classified as a
minor arterial Class II roadway in the Eastern Carver County Transportation Study. The I
minimum roadway width of 100 feet is necessary to establish a future two lane highway. The
plat currently denotes a portion of the right -of -way dedicated 50 feet from centerline, but the
remaining at 40 feet. It is recommended that uniform 50 -foot wide corridor, lying north of the I
centerline and south of the centerline, be dedicated with the preliminary plat. The property to
the south of County Road 14, approximately 17 acres, is under separate ownership.
Easements 1
The Park and Recreation Commission has not reviewed this subdivision but Pioneer Trail has I
been designated for a trail. A trail easement will be required with the final plat. In addition,
park and trail fees will be required with the building permit.
The ag/urban wetland, as well as Bluff Creek located on the site, needs to recorded with an 1
easement on the final plat. The applicant is providing the recommended utility easements along
the lot lines of Lot 1. The Engineering Department is recommending that easements be provided
I
along the lot lines of Lot 2.

SUBJ: Review of Preliminary Plat for Laurent Addition
File No. 93 -10 Land Use Review
1
Upon review of the preliminary plat prepared by Schoell & Madson dated March 22, 1993, I
I
offer the following comments and recommendations:
The preliminary plat proposes to subdivide an existing 68.5 acre farmstead located north of
I
County Road 14 (Pioneer Trail) and south of the proposed Trunk Highway 212 corridor into two
lots. A portion of the property is located within the Trunk Highway 212 corridor. The City has
I officially mapped the Trunk Highway 212 corridor through the property which the preliminary
plat denotes. Staff recommends that the necessary future trunk highway right -of -way be
dedicated with the final plat. County Road 14, which borders the south line of the plat, is I
classified as a minor arterial Class II roadway. According to the Eastern Carver County
Transportation Study, a minimum right -of -way width of 100 feet is necessary to provide for a
future two -lane highway system. The plat currently indicates County Road 14 right -of -way I
varies from 40 to 50 feet wide north of centerline. Staff recommends that a uniform 50 -foot
wide corridor along County Road 14 north of centerline be dedicated with the preliminary plat
for right -of -way purposes.
1
It appears the lot subdivision is requested to provide another buildable lot adjacent to the existing
farmstead. The parcel is located outside the MUSA line; therefore, municipal sanitary sewer and
I
water is not available to the subdivision. The newly created lot (1) will be dependent upon
approved septic and well sites.
A very Large wetland and Bluff Creek drains through the parcel. The necessary drainage and I
utility easement should be dedicated with platting over the drainageways and wetlands throughout
the parcel. Since this development does not include any public improvements, it will not be
I
necessary for the applicant to enter into a development contract.

Lot 2, Block 1 has an existing driveway County access from Count Road 17. As noted in a memo from
the Carver County Public Works Department, if an additional driveway access is requested to Lot
1, Block 1, further evaluation will be needed to determine if another access directly from County
Road 14 could be allowed.
1 RECOMMENDED CONDITIONS OF APPROVAL
' 1. Final platting shall include dedication of the following easements:
a. Drainage and utility easements over all wetland areas including Bluff Creek and
' the typical side, front and rear lot lines.
b. Future right -of -way for County Road 14 shall be dedicated. A uniform 50 foot
' wide strip of land lying north of centerline of County Road 14 should be
dedicated.
1 c. Proposed MnDOT highway taking.
2. The final plat shall be conditioned upon Lot 1, Block 1 being able to support two
1 acceptable septic sites.
3. Driveway access to Lot 1, Block 1 shall be subject to conditions of approval imposed by
the Carver County Public Works Department. Should the existing driveway on Lot 2 be
share by Lot 1, a cross - access easement with the existing property owner should be
acquired.

Subject: Preliminary Plat
Laurent Addition
Comments regarding the preliminary plat for Laurent Addition dated March 22, 1993, and I
transmitted to Carver County by your memorandum dated March 26, 1993.
1. Right -of -way widths listed in the Eastern Carver County Transportation Study for roadways
functionally classified as Minor Arterial (Class II) are:
Urban Undivided Rural Undivided 111
2 -lane Roadway 2 -lane Roadway
Minimum Recommended Minimum Recommended I
100' 110' 120' 150'
Urban Undivided Rural Undivided I
4 -lane Roadway 4 -lane Roadway
Minimum Recommended Minimum Recommended
100' 120' 140' 170'
I
County State Aid Highway (CSAH) 14 is functionally classified as a Minor Arterial (Class
II) roadway in the Eastern Carver County Transportation Study. It would appear that as
1 a minimum. a 100 foot corridor should be established for a potential 2 lane highway.
The city may wish to consider an even wider highway corridor along the proposed
1 subdivision if a separate trailway is to be constructed along the county highway.
Additional width may also be needed to accommodate public utilities and landscaping.
2. It is not clear on the plat where access to Lot 1 will be provided. If the access is to go
I
onto the existing driveway and share an entrance with the existing landowner using the
driveway, that should be acceptable. If the lot will need an additional access onto CSAH
14, an evaluation would be needed to determined if an access directly from Lot 1 to ,
CSAH 14 could be allowed.
3. I have not verified the proposed highway takings as shown on the plat, but assume they
I
do reflect the TH 212 official mapping which has occurred in this area.
4. Any public utility lines that are to be installed within the CSAH 14 right -of -way are subject
1
Affirmative Achim/Equal Opportunrty Employer
Pruned on Recycled Paper
• ' r
1 to the utility permit requirements of Carver County.
1 5. Any proposed grading and installation of drainage structures within the right -of -way of
CSAH 14 is subject to review and approval of the county highway department.
6. Development activities (including the installation of both public and private utilities needed
1
to serve the development site) that result in any disturbance of the county highway right -
of -way (including turf removal, trench settlements, erosion, and sediment deposits) need
to be completed in a manner that leaves the right -of -way in "as good or better condition"
1 than what existed prior to construction. It is requested that the city include a provision
in the developer's agreement that requires the developer to be ultimately responsible for
the final condition of the county highway right -of -way. A clear understanding of this
I responsibility will result in fewer project oversight problems for both the county and the
city.
I 7. Any trees or landscaping completed within the right -of -way must be approved by the
County. When locating proposed shrubs and trees, consideration should be given to
maintaining an acceptable sight distance at the proposed intersection.
Thank you for the opportunity to comment on the preliminary plan for the proposed development.

' Batzli: Okay. Do we need that as part of our conditions that the map has
to be modified to show those?
' Olsen: We're saying on the final plat it will show up, but yeah. And
then Paul has pointed out that if the creek is going through there, that
we should also double check to see if a trail easement should be taken
along that too.
Batzli: Well that was my biggest concern was that if we eventually are
going to do something along Bluff Creek, it needs to be more than just a
drainage and utility easement.

Olsen: Right. Although it's, yeah I don't know how you're going to get.
Batzli: I don't know either but we'll kick ourselves later. 1
Olsen: We have been working on trail crossings.
Krauss: And Highway 212 is being designed with a bridge over Bluff Creek,
It was one of the things we insisted on with the EIS 2 years ago.
Scott: Is that going to be like what we'll be doing on Highway 5?
Krauss: I think the Highway 212 is really a bridge. It doesn't just loo
like a bridge.
Batzli: Okay. So how can we, we can modify that condition 5 to, the
easement will be reflected on the final plat and that trail, I don't know,
Olsen: Or maybe, could just to number 4 we could add Bluff Creek to the
trail easement along Pioneer Trail and Bluff Creek. I'll confirm. I'm
assuming it will be like a 20 foot trail easement.
Batzli: Okay. I don't have anything else. If no one else does, I'd
entertain a motion. '
Scott: I move that the Planning Commission approve the Laurent Addition
Preliminary Plat #93 -7 to create two single family lots as shown on the '
Mans dated March 22, 1993 and subject to the conditions as stated by
staff with item number 4 modified to include an easement of some size to
be determined later along Bluff Creek as well as Pioneer Trail.
Batzli: Is there a second?
Farmakes: Second. 1
Batzli: Did you want to include submission of a final plat showing these
easements on condition 5 for example?
Scott: Certainly.
Batzli: And typically Jo Ann, do we not typically talk about the plans II
that we've received rather than whatever the heck the applicant dates
them? So that really we're talking about shown on the plans dated
Received March 25th?
Olsen: Right. It should be 25th, that's correct. And then I don't know.
on condition 5 it already says that it shall dedicate on final plat. Are"
You saying the preliminary plat. You want it to be shown on the?
Batzli: I don't know. It just seemed silly that we were, I thought that
what we would require is a final plat showing all these things from the II
applicant. Is what I thought.
Olsen: Yeah. Okay. ,

PRELIMINARY PLAT TO SUBDIVIDE 68.53 ACRES INTO 2 SINGLE FAMILY LOTS OF 2.25
ACRES AND 64.98 ACRES, LOCATED NORTH OF PIONEER TRAIL JUST WEST OF PIONEER HILLS
SUBDIVISION, LAURENT ADDITION, PAUL LAURENT.
Paul Krauss: Thank you Mr. Mayor. This is a somewhat simpler and smaller
request. Gil Laurent is a longtime resident of this city. He has a farm in the
southern part of the community outside the MUSA line. He's proposing to
subdivide his property to create one additional lot that I believe is for his
son. It's consistent with our rural area standards and Metro Council guidelines
for density. Including some minor changes into the plat in terms of definition
of Outlots, it's generally acceptable to us and we are recommending that, it be
approved. A couple things you should know about the lot is, this parcel is
severely impacted by future 212. With 212 coming through in this direction,
with the realigned I think Bluff Creek Road over there, and a ponding area to be
acquired for the highway. MnDot's aware of this plat. The proposal really does
not interfere with anything. Mr. Laurent's been sort of hamstrung for a number
of years given the fact that this is looming over his head. The proposed
subdivision occurs in an area where it really does no harm to the future road in
that regard. The second thing, and I'm not sure that this shows up real well,
has to do with the Bluff Creek corridor that traverses the area. Staff and the
Planning Commission have looked at this and recommended that, the Bluff Creek
corridor is identified as a major recreational resource in the city and that
creek flows generally through here. Here it gets a little foggy because it's in
a wetland and it comes up something like that. To protect that creek corridor
for future recreational use, we are recommending that a 50 foot easement on
either side of that creek for recreational purposes be provided under the plat.
And I believe that that is one of the conditions that was in the Planning
Commission recommendation but the size of the easement was not defined at that
time. I had some discussions with Todd Hoffman today and we thought that that

would generally do it to the best of our ability right now. One of the concerns
we have is a...one when MnDot comes in and acquires the property, MnDot will
deal directly with Mr. Laurent. We are not in the loop at that point. We need
to have some interest in the property to protect that recreational corridor that
we'd like to see come down there. And in fact, given the way highway funding is
these days with highways slipping further and further over the year 2000 horizon
it seems like, we may well need to build this trail before the highway comes
through if the community so demands. I mean it's becoming very clear that the
Bluff Creek corridor north of Lyman, as it passes behind Timberwood and up into
the new school site is very likely to be built within the next few years. So
with that we are recommending approval of the plat with the conditions as
' outlined with condition 4 modified to indicate that the trail easement is 50
foot on either side of the creek. Thank you.
' Mayor Chmiel: Thanks Paul.
Councilman Wing: ...easement, is that adequate for what we're trying to
accomplish? I mean that's a real narrow strip.
' Paul Krauss: We're honestly not sure Councilman Wing. In some areas where the
creek is very defined, yes. Where it goes through the wetland, it's more open
to question but at least it establishes the right. I should also point out,
MnDot thus far has been very cooperative. We've got a pretty good working
relationship with them. It's basically to allow us to pre - emptively do
something if we need to but the environmental impact study for 212, at our
insistence, includes bridging over Bluff Creek so that we can put a trail
underneath it so that's already in the process.
Mayor Chmiel: Is there anyone wishing to address this at this time? If not,
we'll bring it back to Council. Do you have any other specifics that you have
on that Richard? Anything else?
Councilman Wing: No.
Ma,cr Chmiel: Colleen.
Councilwoman Dockendorf: Nothing.
Ma'•or Chmiel: Michael.
Councilman Mason: No.
Councilman Wing: Move approval.
Councilman Mason: Second. With the addition of the 50 foot easement.
' Councilman Wing: Oh excuse me. I missed that Mike. I failed to catch that.
Mayor Chmiel: On item number 4.

Robert Davis 4010 West 65th Street, Edina
Dave Hempel: Thank you Mayor, members of the Council. In conjunction with the ,
city's surface water management program, this is one area that's been spelled
out as a very important area to provide storm water quality and quantity
treatment when we have an opportunity to. We've been working with the applicant
on the Forcier property on developing cooperate or joint ponding facilities with
the proposed 7 lot subdivision proposed here in the near future. Back in
February 22nd, 1993, the City Council authorized preparation of a feasibility
study for the storm water improvements on the Forcier property. The feasibility
study proposes both water quality and quantity improvements within the
subdivision to serve both the individual subdivision and also upstream
contributing areas. The City has a unique opportunity here to work with the
developer on these proposed water quality improvements and participate in the
cost sharing for these improvements. The Council item referred to accepting the
feasibility report and calling for a public hearing which is not totally
accurate at this stage. The improvements will be put in by the developer in
