and adoption of the findings of fact and decision recommendation:
SUBDIVISION
Engineering:
1. The installation of a contiguous curb consistent with the Minnewashta Parkway corridor
shall be constructed where the existing driveway access is located (see City Detail Plate
#5203) immediately after the construction entrance at the location has been permanently
removed.

2. The applicant shall provide adequate right-of-way (ROW) over the entirety of the trail
along the west side of Minnewashta Parkway. This ROW shall align with the newly
subdivided property to the north to ensure continuity and will be reviewed and approved
by the city prior to recording of final plat.
3. No additional accesses shall be had off Minnewashta Parkway to serve the newly created
lots.
4. Covenants addressing the maintenance and snow plowing operations of the private street
shall be filed against all benefiting properties and submitted to the city for review and
approval prior to recording of final plat.
5. Grading plans shall be updated to illustrate drainage arrows.
6. Appendix B of the Stormwater Management Plan shall be updated to include drainage
arrows illustrating the direction of discharge from each sub-catchment.
7. Updated stormwater modeling verifying adequate capacity of downstream public
stormwater facilities and conveyance systems shall be provided for review and approval
prior to recording of final plat.
8. Plans shall be updated to address Sec. 18-57.p.4 regarding the design of adequate
drainage facilities for the private street.

11. Coordination with all small utility companies for the excavation and underground utility
installations shall be maintained by the applicant and their contractor.

inspection, maintenance, and funding mechanism that ensures stormwater BMPs will
function as designed.
Construction Plan Review:
1. On sheet 2 of 10: for clarity, remove call-outs associated with curb & gutter removal or
bituminous removal as those are related to the installation of utilities and are addressed
on subsequent sheets; add to notes associated with removal of structures (e.g. house,
deck, sheds, etc.) that any removal requires a building permit; add to notes that any found
wells, septic, tanks, etc. shall be abandon in accordance with the appropriate state and
local regulations.
2. On sheet 3 of 10: illustrate existing public trail on the preliminary plat to ensure
appropriate ROW dedication; clarify shoreline area illustrated adjacent to “Outlot C” and
“Outlot D” on preliminary plat, it is unclear if this area is designated as D&U.
3. On sheet 4 of 10: update call-outs for sanitary sewer taps to incorporate “WYE” and not
“SADDLE”, update call-outs for removal and replacement of curb & gutter and
bituminous to identify the appropriate city detail plate numbers; Note 5 shall be updated
read “…shall be PE/PEX” and not copper, (the city specifications and plates are being
updated to incorporate no use of copper for water service laterals; detail plates and
specifications can be provided upon request); Note 6 should updated to address the need
for a city Underground Utility Permit (ROW permit); Note 8 correctly addresses City
Code regarding the location of the curb stop at the property line, however the plans
illustrate the curb stop at the D&U line, update plans accordingly; Note 9 should be
updated to incorporate the same requirement for water services (painted blue); Note 10
should be updated to incorporate language that tracer while shall meet city specifications,
also the notes are overlaid with another label and are illegible, update accordingly; add a
note to the effect that testing requirements for water main installation shall meet city
requirements and specifications, and that the coordination of testing (bacteria, pressure,
etc.) are to be coordinated with the Public Works Utility Department (952-227-1130).
4. On sheet 5 of 10: the call-out for the construction of the private drive entrance at Country
Oaks Drive shall include detail plate #5206 which will require the detail sheet to be
updated accordingly; construction of the private street and other utilities may encroach
into abutting properties, update the plans to incorporate notes for protection of private
property and private structures/landscaping or if a temporary construction easement is
required; provide a typical street detail that adequately addresses the 7-ton design
requirement; EOF should be shown, profile details for the EOF and storm pond shall be
provided with elevations, include the OCS within the storm pond detail; either update
Note 1 so that Class 5 RCP is utilized, or eliminate entirely as no RCP is proposed; add
Planning Commission Summary – December 3, 2019

note that an Underground Utility Permit (ROW permit) is required for the connection to
the existing catch basin.
5. On sheet 6 of 10: illustrate the locations of all borings referenced in the geotechnical
report; illustrate drainage arrows for proposed elevations and grades; include in the
legend a detail for the house pad call-outs (G, TF, LL, WO) for clarity; show benchmark
location and elevation; include first floor elevations of buildings on adjacent lots (i.e. the
lot and building to the south); include existing and proposed elevations at the following
locations – each lot corner, top of curb or centerline of roadway at each lot line extension,
center of proposed driveway at curb, grade at corners of proposed structure.
6. On Sheet 7 of 10: identify proposed stockpile locations; under the call-out for the silt
fence around pond, direct contractor to sheet 10 for additional notes on installation and
stabilization of pond; provide detail number for construction entrance call-out; all
construction access will be had through one approved construction entrance, thus the silt
fence on the northwest corner of the site should be contiguous (no gap), provide a second
phase of the erosion control plan for when the construction access off Minnewashta
Parkways is closed and stabilized per Engineering Condition (1.) and the construction
entrance at the northwest corner is active.
7. On sheet 10 of 10: Update General Grading Note 9 that haul routes shall be supplied to
the city for review prior to grading and that there will be no hauling during road
restrictions unless reviewed and approved by the city; update General Grading Note 20
that the city’s Water Resources Coordinator, or their designee, shall be notified 24-hours
prior to commencement of dewatering activities; update Erosion/Siltation Control Note
11 to eliminate “Contractor shall place Mirafi fabric and gravel over all catch basins…”,
if inlet protection is required it should meet the city specifications and detail plates (catch
basin sediment trap #5302A).
Parks:
1. Full park fees in lieu of additional parkland dedication and/or trail construction shall be
collected as a condition of approval for two of the three lots. The park fees will be collected
in full at the rate in force upon final plat submission and approval. Based upon the current
single-family park fee rate of $5,800 per dwelling, the total park fees would be $ 11,600.
Environmental Resources Coordinator:
1. No required landscape plantings shown on the approved landscape plan may be planted
in any of the outlots.
2. Tree planting requirements on each lot are as follows: Lot 1 – 10 overstory deciduous, 8
evergreens; Lot 2 – 3 deciduous overstory, 5 evergreens; Lot 3 – 5 deciduous overstory, 3
evergreens.

3. Any tree removal on Outlot C or D shall be replaced 2:1 diameter inches on the same
outlot.
4. Tree preservation fencing must be installed around trees proposed to be saved prior to
any construction activities.
Planning:
1. Approval of the subdivision is contingent upon the applicant securing the segment of
property, to allow the applicant to achieve a 30-foot frontage on a public ROW off of
Country Oaks Drive and the City Council approving the transfer of Outlot B of Glendale
Homes Drive Subdivision from the city to the applicant.
2. The applicant shall combine Outlot C with Lot 3 and Outlot D with Lot 2.
