City Planning Case No. 2019-01
EASEMENTS & RIGHT-OF-WAY
There is an existing 20' wide Metropolitan Council Environmental Services (MCES) sewer and
utility easement located on the property as illustrated on the submitted preliminary plat.
Generally, the easement traverses from the northwest corner of the property to the southeast
corner of the property, bisecting the site diagonally. The applicant is proposing to impact the
easement at two locations. The first location is within the northwest corner of the site where
grading and construction of Street"Z" and Basin 200 are proposed. The second location is to the
east of Street "G" where grading is proposed behind Lots 143-144. MCES has been supplied the
applicant's site plans, and all comments and conditions set forth by MCES shall be addressed by
the applicant. An agreement to construct any of the proposed improvements over MCES's
easement must be executed and supplied to the City for review prior to the issuance of grading
permits. Furthermore, the applicant shall supply callouts identifying the width of the MCES
easement on the plat prior to recording.
The applicant is proposing standard drainage and utility easements(D&U's) around the majority
of the lots on the provided preliminary plat. Additional 20' wide D&U's have been provided
within Lots 116-130 abutting Street"Z", Lots 108-111 abutting Street"A", and Lots 102-105
abutting Topaz Drive. These 20' wide D&U's are provided for stormwater collection and
conveyance systems located in backyards that fall outside the standard D&U's. Furthermore, 30'
wide D&U's between Lots 133-134 abutting Street"H" and Lots 116-117 abutting Street"D"

have been proposed. These additional 30' wide D&U's are provided for access to proposed
utilities and the north side of Basin 300. However, 30' wide D&U's between additional lots
throughout the development shall be provided in areas requiring access to utilities and
stormwater basins. This shall include the location of a water main connection off Street"Z"to a
stub off Ruby Lane, discussed under the "Water" section of this staff report, and between lots
abutting stormwater Basins 100, 300, and 600.
Right-of-way dedication will be required along the east side of Galpin Boulevard per Carver
County's review and comments(see"Carver County Development/Access Review Comments"
attached), the Highway 117 Corridor Study, and the typical roadway sections identified in the
County's Draft 2040 Comprehensive Plan. The Corridor Study identifies specific right-of-way
needs and the plat will be required to follow and be consistent with the preferred roadway
alternative. The right of way shall tie into the existing highway right of way north and south of
the proposed development. The preliminary and final plat proposals shall be reviewed and
approved as to form and content by the County Surveyor and city. Specific right-of-way
dedications and recommended cross-section submittals are referenced in the County's comments
under Item 5.
Currently there exists overhead utilities within the right-of-way abutting the development on the
east side of Galpin Boulevard. The applicant will be required to underground all overhead
utilities from W 78th Street to the northern property line. Underground utilities reduce the risk of
accidents, such as vehicles colliding with poles and service impacts such as storms knocking
down limbs on lines. It also improves the overall esthetics of roadway corridors and
neighborhoods, which improves and promotes livability. The undergrounding of utilities from W
78th Street to the southern property line is required to maintain continuity, discourage associated
impacts with piecemealed undergrounding activities, and promote constructability.
Existing Conditions Survey
The provided existing conditions survey does not call out any existing septic systems or water
wells. However, Engineering and Public Works are aware of a potential septic system near the
"guard house"on the development. The applicant shall determine to the satisfaction of the
Engineering and Public Works department that there are in fact no existing septic systems and/or
wells located on the property. If found, the abandonment of all existing wells shall be in
accordance with the Minnesota Department of Health's review and regulations, and the
abandonment of all existing septic systems shall be in accordance with the Minnesota Pollution
Control Agency's review and regulations. All required permits from the appropriate regulatory
agencies shall be obtained prior to the commencement of any abandonment(s).
There is an existing MCES sanitary and utility easement on parcels 250100400 and 257580040
that is not delineated on the existing conditions survey. The applicant shall identify the

GRADING
The applicant is proposing to construct five stormwater basins (Basins 100, 200, 300, 400, 600)
within and around the development. Through the preliminary grading plan and grading details,
drainage from individual lots will be routed away from buildings into a series of catch basins and
reinforced concrete pipe located within drainage and utility easements in backyards. Drainage
from proposed public streets will be collected through catch basins located next to curbs, and
routed to stormwater basins within and around the site. The applicant has not provided in the
narrative or on the preliminary plans details regarding whether the site will be mass graded or if
the site will be graded under a phased approach. The applicant shall supply a mass grading plan
or a phased grading plan (whichever is applicable) for review and approval by the city prior to
the issuance of grading plans.
There are proposed driveways that approach the maximum 10% grade(e.g. Lot 130 abutting
Street"Z"is at 9.9% grade) and one street that reaches the maximum 7 % grade(Street"A"near
station 24+50) allowed by city ordinance. Staff recommends limiting maximum grades in order
to achieve a higher level of constructability. Any constructed street or driveway that exceeds
maximum allowable grades upon final inspection will be required to be removed and replaced.
The applicant has not supplied top of curb elevations or spot elevations at the center of proposed
driveways at curb line on the submitted grading plans. Updated grading plans shall be submitted
illustrating these elevations for review by the city to ensure constructability and any potential
conflicts.
The proposed grading to the north of Street"Z"between stations 6+50 and 11+00 is called out as
a 2:1 slope. The slope shall be reduced to 2.5:1, at a minimum, upon submittal of construction
drawings and prior to the issuance of a grading permit.
Certain locations that call out the emergency overflow route(EOF) are missing the associated
drainage arrows. All locations of EOF shall be illustrated with accompanying drainage arrows
upon resubmittal of grading plans.
There are two bluffs within the site. One bluff is located west of Lots 111-115 abutting Lucy
Ridge Lane, and a second bluff is located south of Lots 125-126 abutting Street"Z". The
grading plans do not indicate the locations or extent of the bluffs and their appropriate buffers
and setbacks. The extent and location of all bluffs shall be provided on the grading plans upon
submittal of construction drawings, and the grading and/or building of any structures adjacent to
bluffs shall be subject to review and approval prior to the issuance of a grading permit.

Proposed grading for Basin 400 encroaches into the southern section of the city's well house#3
and water station site off Galpin Blvd. The applicant will be required to perform site
improvements associated with the well house site, discussed under the "Water"section of this
staff report, including the relocation of the access driveway off Galpin Blvd. Additionally, there
is a significant oak tree that shall be protected during grading operations. The grading plans
shall show the relocated access driveway location and grades, the location and footprint of the
well house, and call out the protection of the oak tree upon resubmittal of grading plans.
There is a low point indicated on the preliminary grading plans at the intersection of Street"E"
and Street "H"that does not align with the proposed storm catch basin. The applicant shall
adjust the grading plans so that the low point is adjacent to the catch basin for optimal drainage
and to reduce ponding or"bird bathing".
The preliminary grading plans indicate drainage of backyards from Lots 164-174 abutting Street
"A"to runoff directly onto the proposed public trail, north of Wetland 11. The applicant shall
submit revised grading plans and stormwater plans so that no stormwater runoff flows directly
onto the public trail. Furthermore, no untreated stormwater shall be routed to wetlands prior to
treatment.
Immediately east of Lot 110 abutting Street"A", the applicant is proposing a stormwater
conveyance pipe with catch basins. The preliminary grading plans indicate a grade of
approximately 30% running perpendicular to the stormwater system. The applicant shall adjust
the grading plans to create a grade of not more than 10% over the utility for maintenance and
accessibility purposes. Furthermore, staff has concerns regarding slope stability immediately
east of Lot 110. The applicant shall submit an updated geotechnical report, including soil types,
ground water elevations, and slope stability calculations for this area based on the proposed
structure to be constructed on the lot.
The public trail adjacent to the back lot lines of Lots 112-115 has a proposed continuous grade of
8% extending over 150'. While the proposed public trail system meets the Americans with
Disabilities Act Accessibility Guidelines (ADAAG) for maximum running slope of trail
segments (no more than 30%of the total trail length to exceed a 1:12 slope), staff recommends
the installation of a level resting pad over this continuous grade. This recommendation is based
on the intent of ADAAG which is to provide access to the greatest extent possible.
The plat's final grading plans,ponds, and right of way along Galpin Boulevard shall be reviewed
and approved by the County and the city to show how they conform to the potential future
Galpin Boulevard reconstruction. A cross reference of grading plans,profiles, and respective
cross sections should be provided at key locations such as intersections, ponds, or other special
features for review by the County and city prior to acceptance.

RETAINING WALLS
There are three proposed retaining walls on the site. All retaining walls exceeding 4' in height
shall be constructed in accordance with plans prepared by a registered engineer or landscape
architect and shall be constructed of a durable material (smooth face concrete/poured in place,
masonry/mortared, railroad ties and timber are prohibited). No such plans or details were
submitted with the plan sheets, and must be provided prior to issuance of grading permits.
The retaining wall on the south side of the development behind Lots 108-111 abutting Street "A"
is approximately 420' long and ranges from 4'-10' tall. The retaining wall is currently proposed
to be offset approximately 10' from a proposed stormwater conveyance line. The retaining wall
shall be adjusted to accommodate a 1.5:1 buffer from the bottom of the proposed stormwater line
to the bottom of the proposed retaining wall foundation. The 1.5:1 buffer is required for
maintenance and repair purposes and to maintain structural stability of the wall during such
activities.
The retaining wall on the west side of the development behind Lots 161-163 abutting Street"A"
is approximately 170' long. Top of wall and bottom of wall spot elevations were not provided.
The updated grading plans shall include the top of wall and bottom of wall elevations.
The retaining wall on the north side of the development behind Lots 123-125 abutting Street "Z"
is approximately 200' long and ranges from 6'-8' tall. The construction of this wall appears to
be within a bluff setback. Pending updated grading plans that illustrate the bluff, addressed
previously under the "Grading"section of this staff report,the retaining wall may have to be
adjusted outside the bluff protection area.
STREETS
The applicant is proposing the construction of nine new streets (Streets"A"-"H"and Street"Z")
and the extension of two existing streets(Topaz Drive and Lucy Ridge Lane)that shall be owned
and maintained by the city after acceptance of the public improvements by the City Council. All
newly constructed street sections shall be designed to meet the current standard specifications
and detail plates for residential streets. These new streets and extensions will result in six cul-de-
sacs with five of the six proposed cul-de-sacs meeting current city code and standard
specifications. Street "Z", a newly constructed street and cul-de-sac in the northern section of
the development, exceeds the maximum length for a cul-de-sac per city ordinance. City
ordinance section 18.57.k limits the length of any cul-de-sac to 800'. Street"Z"is proposed as a
cul-de-sac with a length of 1376' measured from the centerline of Galpin Boulevard to the center
point of the turnaround radius. However, Engineering recommends approval of the cul-de-sac as
the topography would require substantial grading and the loss of significant trees that would alter

Furthermore, public outreach efforts and public hearings were conducted by the city regarding
the option for a local through street connecting Galpin Boulevard to Lucy Ridge Lane(i.e. Street
"Z"). The responses received from residences in the Ashling Meadows neighborhood noted that
they opposed the connection. The concerns were regarding; perceived increased cut-through
traffic, safety associated with an increase in traffic through residential neighborhoods, and loss of
the natural barrier between neighborhoods. The alternative to connect Galpin Boulevard with
Lake Lucy Ridge Lane was conceptually proposed back in June of 2018 by the applicant, an

Exhibit 1:Pioneer Engineering's Concept Plan 07 from 6-1-2018
As the applicant has proposed not to extend or connect the development of the north section
through the existing stub off Ruby Lane, the developer shall remove the existing hard surface
and construct half street improvements (extending curb & gutter) to maintain the continuity of
Topaz Drive. The city will reach out to the property owners abutting the removed stub to discuss
vacating the right-of-way, while maintaining utility easements over existing utilities.
Access to Street"Z"is had from Galpin Boulevard, a collector road. There is an existing
driveway 30 feet south of Street"Z"providing access to parcel 250100400. This spacing does

not meet MnDOT Access Management Guidelines or Carver County's requirements for access
points had off collector roads. The parcel's access from Galpin Boulevard shall be abandoned
and realigned to tie into Street"Z". Additionally, a water stub for future connection shall be
installed to serve the property. The city has had discussions with the resident of this property and
has obtained verbal agreeance of such a realignment and future water service connection.
The applicant has supplied a geotechnical evaluation report that was completed by Braun Intertec
Corporation on June 29, 2018. The report discussed and explored design and construction
recommendations for roadway sections, amongst other topics. The report utilized 8 boring
locations for the entire site. Due to the size of the development, the city will require additional
borings. In-situ soil strata and subsoil conditions over a large area, such as this development
(approximately 52 acres), requires a more comprehensive understanding of subsoil constraints
that additional borings can provide. The city will require additional borings where roadways are
to be constructed and at all cul-de-sac locations. The city will require the applicant to submit an
updated geotechnical evaluation report based on the additional borings.
Sidewalks and pedestrian access points have been proposed on a majority of the streets
throughout the development. However, Street"D", "G"and"Z"will require extensions of
sidewalk to provide access within the cul-de-sacs. Sidewalks shall be constructed in accordance
with city standard specifications and detail plates. Furthermore, there are considerable stretches
of sidewalk that do not provide access points or curb ramps to the newly constructed sidewalks.
The applicant shall provide curb ramp/access points for every 500 feet of sidewalk. This will
result in 3 additional curb ramps/access points from the provided preliminary site plan. All curb
ramps shall be constructed to meet ADA standards and the city's detail plates.
Sidewalks located at the intersection of Galpin Boulevard & Street "E"and Galpin Boulevard &
Street"A"terminate with no proposed intersection improvements to access the existing trail
system on the west side. The developer will be required to extend connectivity by providing
access from the newly constructed east side to the existing west side of Galpin Boulevard by
utilizing approved MUTCD practices for pedestrian crosswalk and intersection improvements.
Street lights have been proposed throughout the development. No street light construction detail
or specifications were provided with the subdivision submittals. A detail of the street light shall
be submitted and reviewed prior to the issuance of building permits. An enumerated list of all
street lights and their locations shall be submitted prior to the recording of the final plat. A $300
fee shall be collected with the development contract for each street light for the purpose of
electricity costs for the first year of operation.

WATERMAIN AND SANITARY SEWER
WATER
The applicant is proposing to construct 8" PVC C900 water main throughout the development
that shall be owned and maintained by the city after acceptance of the public improvements by
the City Council. The development is located between two pressure zones in the city; a high
pressure zone and a low pressure zone. To the west in the Long Acres neighborhood is a high
pressure zone. To the north and south in the Ashling Meadows and Royal Oak Estates
neighborhoods,respectively, are low pressure zones. The city has modeled the impact of the
development based on the proposed usage. It was found that in order to provide adequate
pressures and fire flows, water mains shall be tied into the high pressure zone located on Galpin
Boulevard. This will result in some areas of the development experiencing pressures above 90
PSI. Therefore, a portion of the homes will likely require individual pressure reducing valves.
In the northwest area of the development where Topaz Drive and Lucy Ridge Lane will be
extended, the developer is proposing to tie into the low pressure water system via the existing 8"
PVC water mains. Engineering does not anticipate any extraordinary impacts to the water
system's pressure or fire flow for the proposed 15 connections.
Street"Z"will be tied into the high zone water system via the existing 14"HDPE SDR 11 water
main off Galpin Boulevard. Street"Z"is currently proposed as a cul-de-sac, and the applicant is
proposing the creation of a dead end system. Public Works will require the applicant to resubmit
plans to tie in the proposed water main on Street"Z"to the existing water main stub located off
Ruby Lane, to the north. Because Street "Z" will be within the high pressure zone, and the north
tie-in location on Ruby Lane(Ashling Meadows neighborhood) is within the low pressure zone,
updated construction plans shall call out a gate valve to be installed where the system ties in.
This gate valve will remain closed in order to separate the two zones, and will be opened by city
forces during any maintenance or repair work in order to "back feed"the system, as necessary.
The majority of the water main to be installed is within the central and southern portion of the
development (Streets "A-H"). The applicant is proposing to create a looped water system which
meets city best management practices for water utilities. Looped systems improve reliability by
feeding water from two directions rather than one, which subsequently allows service to continue
during an event that may otherwise cause disruption to water service. Water main connections
will be tied into the high zone water system off Galpin Boulevard via a 14" HDPE SDR 11 pipe.
The applicant shall verify the location of the connections on the construction plans. All water
main taps, connections, and required water main testing shall be witnessed by the city. A pre-
construction meeting prior to the commencement of any work shall be scheduled by the
developer's contractor with the city. Additionally, all underground utilities on the east side of
Galpin Boulevard have not been located, for example, the city's raw water main that feeds the

west treatment plant. This area on the east side of Galpin Boulevard is where water and sanitary
sewer will cross before entering the development. Thus, prior to the issuance of building
permits, all underground utilities in this area shall be surveyed and illustrated in the profile sheets
in order to identify any conflicts.
The applicant is proposing a"land swap"to build Lot 163 abutting Street"A"within the city's
well house#3 property off Galpin Boulevard. This exchange of land will require the execution
of an agreement to be reviewed and approved by the city prior to acceptance and recording of the
final plat. The agreement will set forth conditions for improvements to the well house#3 site in
exchange for the land required for Lot 163. The improvements will be: the relocation of the
ingress/egress driveway to well house#3 due to vertical curve and sight distance hazards,
relocation of the SCADA antenna due to the impact of Lot 163, improvements to the hard
surface area surrounding the well house which shall include a turning movements analysis to
ensure proper widths for design vehicles are adequate, and potential landscaping improvements.
Furthermore, the applicant must maintain a 50 foot setback of all structures from well house#3
in accordance with the Minnesota Department of Health requirements.
From the proposed preliminary water plans, there are multiple areas where water main and
sanitary sewer mains will cross. All crossings of water and sewer utility mains are required to
have 18"of vertical separation and 10' of horizontal separation, measured from the edge of pipe.
Additionally, where water mains cross sanitary sewer mains, the sanitary sewer shall be
constructed of C900 water main material and the sanitary sewer pipe length shall be centered
over the water main crossing.
The preliminary plans delineate areas where water main will run closely adjacent to, or under,
stormwater catch basins. This may cause a potential for freezing of the water main at these
locations due to inadequate ground cover from catch basin bottoms(sumps)to the water main.
Water mains shall be constructed at 7.5' below grade, or insulated, and constructed in
conformance with the city's standard specifications and detail plates. Plan and profile sheets
provided with the construction drawings of the water main shall include the location and depth of
catch basins and their sumps for review and approval prior to issuance of building permits.
The location of gate valves at some locations are up to 40' away from tees. The applicant shall
cluster all valves at tees to obtain a minimum of 5' spacing from the tee to the valves, where
feasible. Review of valve locations and other water main appurtenances shall be conducted by
Public Works and Engineering prior to the issuance of building permits.
The applicant shall ensure all fire hydrant spacing meets fire codes and are subject to the review
and approval of the Fire Department.

SANITARY SEWER
The applicant is proposing to construct 8" PVC sanitary sewer main throughout the development
that shall be owned and maintained by the city after acceptance of the public improvements by
the City Council. The entire sanitary sewer system will operate as a gravity system and connects
to existing sanitary sewer mains at five locations; Lucy Ridge Lane, Topaz Drive, the
intersection of Galpin Blvd and Hunter Drive, a direct connection to the MCES sanitary sewer
trunk line on Street"Z", and at the Majestic Way extension off Street"D"through a utility
easement.
As proposed, the connection to the MCES sanitary sewer trunk line from Street"Z"and its
subsequent manhole are not within the roadway, down steep grades, and abutting Basin 200.
The applicant shall resubmit construction drawings to provide the access manhole and tie-in on
and within Street"Z". All conditions set forth by MCES shall be addressed by the applicant for
the required access manhole and direct connection to their trunk line, and all permits required
shall be obtained prior to the commencement of construction.
The sanitary sewer line to the south, adjacent to Lots 101-109 abutting Street"A", are proposed
to be constructed at the minimum slope for gravity systems based on 10 States Standards (0.4%
for 8" PVC pipe). It is the recommendation of the engineering department to increase the slope
to a minimum of 2% for a more effective cleaning velocity. This approach is feasible as the
proposed manhole depths are 12-22 feet(e.g. MH-92) from top of lid to invert-outs. Also, the
tie-in of this sewer line is to a manhole at the intersection of Galpin Boulevard and Hunter Drive.
From the proposed preliminary plans the applicant is proposing a new manhole, while city
records show an existing manhole directly adjacent to the proposed new manhole. The applicant
shall field verify this connection and its configuration prior to the submittal of construction
plans.
The preliminary plans submitted utilize a nomenclature for identifying proposed manholes that
differs from the city's. Prior to the submittal of construction drawings the applicant shall ensure
the city's manhole naming conventions are incorporated within the plans. The city will provide a
list of appropriate manhole identifiers. This will ensure an efficient transition of the newly
constructed public improvements into the city's asset management system for sanitary sewer
appurtenances.
Although not required, profile sheets for the sanitary sewer system were not provided. However,
based on the provided plan sheets the applicant is proposing sanitary sewer that reaches a
maximum depth of 26.47' (see MH-26 in front of Lot 172 abutting Street"A"). PVC sanitary
sewer pipes that have a burial depth of 0-16 feet are required to be class SDR 35,burial depths of
16-26 feet requires class SDR 26, and burial depths of greater than 26 feet requires class C900.
The applicant shall update construction drawings indicating sanitary sewer pipes that fall within

these burial depths to have the appropriate class of PVC. Furthermore, all inverts that have a 20
inch or greater differential shall be supplied inside drops per city standards and be constructed
per the city's detail plate for inside drops.
The preliminary plans show one manhole(MH-99 in front of Lot 118 abutting Street "C")
having sewer flows in opposing directions, i.e. the east"invert out" flows to the east, and the
west"invert-out" flows to the west. The applicant shall submit construction drawings that
isolate flow directions via separate manholes and independent pipe systems.
Storm Water Utility Connection Charges
Section 4-30 of city code sets out the fees associated with surface water management. A water
quality and water quantity fee are collected with a subdivision. These fees are based on land use
type and are intended to reflect the fact that the more intense the development type, the greater
the degradation of surface water.
This fee will be applied to the new lot of record being created. It is calculated as shown in the
table below:
AREA PER ACRE FEE ACRES FEE
SURFACE WATER GROSS AREA $8,320 191.0465 $ 1,589,506.88
DEVELOPMENT FEE ROW $8,320 16.79 S (139,692.80)
OUTLOTS $8,320 122.3114 S (1,017,630.85)
NET AREA 51.9451 $ 432,183.23
The SWMP Fee is $432,183.23, pending any plan revisions.
ASSESSMENTS
Water and sewer partial hookups are due at the time of final plat. The partial hookup fees will be
assessed at the rate in effect at that time. The remaining partial hookups fees are due with the
building permit.
FEES
Based on the proposal the following fees would be collected with the development contract:
a) Administration Fee: if the improvement costs are between $500,000 and $1,000,000, 2%
of the improvement costs. If the improvement costs exceed $1,000,000, 2.5%of the first
$1,000,000 plus 1.5%of the remainder.
b) Surface water management fee: $432,183.23
c) A portion of the water hook-up charge: $2,311/unit
d) A portion of the sanitary sewer hook-up charge: $691/unit
