This draft is being c 1 among staff only at this point in time and is not available for distribution to the Developer or its agents. I am looking towards staff for your input into any text corrections that are desired or felt advantageous for the City to.implement before this draft of its revised form is released to the Developer. I am also looking for input from the Engineering Office as it affects the particular costs of the Plan A and Plan B Improvements so that we can secure the appropriate letters of credit from the Developer. As per established City policy, all new developments within the City shall pay their own way and it is not the City intent at this point in time to be funding and thereby assessing back costs of development on a per lot basis as we did in the earlier years of the City with some of the Swager developments. Please keep that in mind as you review your comments on this draft. I am also sending a copy to Scott Richards of Northwest Associate Consultants for his review and input as well. Very truly yours, Mark J. Vierling MJV:sms Enclosures (1) cc: Scott Richards w /enclosure S PRELIMINARY DRAFT S and d cu DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT CITY OF OAK PARK HEIGHTS WASHINGTON COUNTY, MINNESOTA EAST OAKS PLANNED UNIT DEVELOPMENT THIS AGREEMENT, made and entered into this day of , 1993, by and between the City of Oak Park Heights, a municipal corporation organized under the laws of the State of Minnesota, (the "City "), and Swager Brothers, Incorporated, a Minnesota corporation, (the "Developer(s) ").

A U R B A N P L A N N I N G • D E S I G N • M A R K E T R E S E A R C H PLANNING REPORT - Revised TO: Oak Park Heights Mayor and City Council FROM: Scott Richards DATE: 21 October 1993 RE: Oak Park Heights - East Oaks PUD (Swager Bros.) FILE NO: 798.02 - 93.06 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Background East Oaks LLC has submitted a revised development plan for the residential planned unit development (PUD) located south of 60th Street and east of Osgood Avenue North. The revised development proposal provides for a shortening of the proposed cul -de -sac and a lot arrangement where the lots back up to the site's eastern property line. The proposal also results in a reduction of one additional building so that the number of structures drops to 13 from 15 and dwelling units to 26 from 30. Attached for reference: Exhibit A - Development Stage PUD Plan for East Oaks Exhibit B - Grading, Drainage and Erosion Control Exhibit C - Preliminary Plat for East Oaks Recommendation The revised site plan reflects the changes desired by the City Council in their review at the 27 September 1993 meeting. Based upon this submittal, our office recommends the City Council approve the development stage with the following conditions: 1. The City reserve the right in the development agreement to retain access agreements for the private roadway and the right to dedicate all or a portion thereof as public right -of -way as the need necessitates. 5775 Wayzata Blvd.- Suite 555 • St. Louis Park, MN 55416 • (612) 595- 9636•Fax. 595 -9837 i i 2. The applicant submit a revised snow removal plan detailing where snow will be stored and under what conditions it will be removed from the site applicable to the period of time the developer is responsible for street maintenance. The East Oaks Homeowners Association shall outline in their Declaration of Covenants a similar snow plan. 3. The Declaration of Covenants, Restrictions and Easements be reviewed by the City Attorney. 4. The cash park dedication fee, based on 13, two unit buildings, shall be $10,400, payable at the time of finalization of the development agreement. 5. The grading and drainage plan for the project is subject to review and approval by the City Engineer. 6. The utility plan for the project is subject to review and approval by the City Engineer. 7. Per the recommendations of the City Engineer, "engineered control fills" take place to ensure that proper soil compaction is provided to support roadway and dwelling unit construction. 8. The site plan is revised with a redesigned driveway configuration for Lots 21 and 22, subject to approval by the City Planner and City Engineer. 9. The landscape plan is revised and a tree preservation plan/ detailed landscape plan be prepared to identify all significant trees to be added, relocated, and retained on the site. Said landscape plan shall be submitted and approved prior to finalization of the development agreement and filing the final plat. 10. The landscape plan shall indicate an area of complete screening along the entire east property line by utilizing a combination of trees and /or berming. 11. Existing trees along the northern boundary of the PUD are to be retained to the extent possible for buffering purposes to the adjacent commercially zoned area. 12. The applicants enter into a development agreement with the City. 13. A final plat be submitted subject to the approval of the City Attorney, City Engineer, and City Planner. 2 • r • 14. The City Council shall determine if two story buildings shall be allowed throughout the development or limited to lots that will comply with the height requirements of the PUD. 15. If signage is to be provided on site, a detailed sign plan is submitted which indicates the location, type and size of all proposed signage. All signs must comply with applicable provisions of the City's Sign Ordinance. 16. An access permit from MnDOT for the proposed connection to 60th Street North. 17. Comments and recommendations from staff of the Middle St. Croix Watershed Organization. 18. Comments from other City staff. ISSUES ANALYSIS Proposed Density. The applicants have now proposed 26 dwelling units in 13 buildings resulting in a density of 4.48 dwelling units per acre. The proposed density is consistent with the property's R -B, Residential- Business zoning designation. Street System. • 1. Private Right -of -Way. The revised site plan indicates a 32 foot right -of -way and 47.5 foot cul -de -sac radius, consistent with City standards. The City will reserve the right to dedicate the private roadway as a public right -of -way if deemed necessary. 2. Snow Removal. The City will require a detailed plan for snow removal during the time that the developer is responsible for street maintenance. A snow plan will be required of the East Oaks Homeowners Association as a part of the Declaration of Covenants. Lots. The revised site plan indicates a lot width that is consistent with minimum PUD requirements. The lot arrangement reflects the concept favored by the City Council with the shorter cul -de -sac and lots that back up to the east property line. Setbacks. With the revised plan, all parameter setbacks of 30 feet have been complied with except the area adjacent to Lot 26, where the setback is 20 feet. This situation is not considered an issue in that the adjacent property to the north is already developed with apartment buildings and the significant grades would prohibit additional development in this immediate area. 3 IIM 411 The internal setbacks will allow at least 20 feet between all of the buildings in conformance with PUD setback requirements, if the buildings remain one story. The developer has requested the option of allowing one or two story dwellings on any of the lots within the development. As you are aware, the Ordinance requires a setback between buildings equal to one - half the sum of the building heights of two adjacent buildings. Depending upon the height of the two story unit, only Lots 9, 10, 11 or 12, because of their greater width, would allow two story structures. The City Council must make a determination whether to hold to PUD requirements for this project or allow two story structures throughout the development. Grading and Drainage. The revised grading and drainage plan specifies a storm water pond on the adjacent commercially zoned property to the north of the development. The developer's engineer will meet with Tim Fredbo of the Middle St. Croix Watershed Organization before the 25 October City Council meeting. The project, if it meets all the requirements of the Watershed Organization, will only need staff approval. Utilities. The utility plan, as submitted, will be subject to the review and comment by the City Engineer. Site Plan. Overall, the revised site plan was found to meet most of the basic design requirements for residential PUD. The driveways for Lots 21 and 22 provide for difficult vehicle maneuvering, especially for backing out. In a discussion with the City Engineer and the engineer for the developer, a revised driveway configuration will be presented for City Council review on 25 October. MnDOT. The engineer for the developer has been in contact with MnDOT representatives related to the access to 60th Street North. A permit will be required from MnDOT as a condition of approval for this project. Landscaping. The applicant has not provided a detailed plan indicating the trees to be preserved on site and those to be removed. The City is interested in seeing what trees will be saved and what will be added long the perimeter of the site. A complete landscaping plan will be required for review and comment before finalization of the development agreement and the final plat. Final Plat. A final plat will be required for review by the City Attorney, City Engineer and City Planner. 4 • • . CONCLUSION Based upon the preceding review, our office recommends Development Stage PUD approval for the East Oaks Development with the conditions listed in the Recommendation Section. All of the conditions will need to be complied with before the City will finalize the development agreement and final plat. pc: LaVonne Wilson Joe Anderlik Mark Vierling Norris and Norvin Swager Jim DeBenedet 5 • • EXHIBIT "D" OCTOBER 25, 1993 LETTER FROM BONESTROO, ROSENE, ANDERLIK & ASSOCIATES TO LA VONNE WILSON • �. .... . — P - — •a t' c a.. rti a v ...

Box 2007 Stillwater, MN 55082 Re: East Oaks P.U.D. File 55 Dear Lavonne: We have reviewed the revised development plans for East Oaks as submitted by the Swager Bros. and offer the following comments: 1. The grading and drainage plan for the project is acceptable with the storm water pond being subject to the review and approval of the Watershed Management Organization. 2. The utility plans as submitted are acceptable. It would be desirable to have a looped water main system to increase reliability but the single line should provide adequate fire flows and pressures. The negative impact is that all 26 units would be out of service in the event of a water main break. 3. The driveways for Lots 21 and 22 must be redesigned for ease of access which may also require some special covenant for common use and maintenance. 4. All fill sections in the grading areas must be properly compacted to support roads, drives. and buildings. 5. The developer must obtain an entrance permit from the Minnesota Department of Transportation. It is hoped that the comments contained herein will assist you in reviewing this revised plan.

OLSON Mr. Barry W. McKee 324 South Main Street Stillwater, MN 55082 Re: Your Client: Swager Bros. East Oaks P.U.D. Our Client: City of Oak Park Heights Our File No.: 1501 -1346 Dear Barry: I have reviewed your proposed draft of the By -Laws and Declaration of Covenants, Restrictions and Easements for East Oak Homeowners Association. The By -Laws are in large measure format and the City has no major objections thereto. As it affects the Declarations of Covenants, etc., you should be aware of the following requests for clarification and changes which are now being made: 1. The City needs a better understanding of exactly what is and what is not going to be included into the definition of common property within the Declarations. I would ask that you specifically refer to the amended site plan of East Oaks Addition and advise us as to whether or not all of Outlot C, including the road, is intended to be included into common area and what portions of the Lot and exteriors of buildings is anticipated to be included within the common area definition as well as other amenities and areas within the plat. 2. I refer you to Article 7, page 13 of your proposed Declarations which references an Exhibit A which was not attached to my draft of the Declarations. I would ask that you forward me a copy of such proposed Exhibit A describing additional lands and also identify its location. The Article should also be amended to reflect that no such annexation as implemented by the Declaration would be effective until approved by the City of Oak Park Heights under the Amendment to the Planned Unit Development procedures as set forth within the City Zoning Ordinance. That would, of course, also apply to the provisions of Section 2 of Article 7 which preserve the possibility of annexation of additional real property to the Planned Unit Development. i Page 2 September 27, 1993 To: Barry W. McKee - Re: City of Oak Park Heights /Swager Bros. 3. I refer you to Article 9, page 16 and 17 of your proposed Declaration which speaks to easements. There is no mention as to the easement which I understand will be reserved to the City of Oak Park Heights for access and ingress over and across the street to be constructed to serve this particular Planned Unit Development. We would also require that the Declarations indicate that the governance association in charge of this Development would have the authority to convey the street right -of -way in its entirety to the City of Oak Park Heights upon request. The provisions of that section should also require the association governance to make that conveyance to the City of Oak Park within thirty (30) days of receiving a written request or demand from the City for the conveyance of the roadway to the City as part of the City street system. 4. Article 10, page 19, Section 4, page 20. I draw your attention to the amendment section of the Declarations as they have been drawn and advise you that it will be the requirement of the City of Oak Park Heights that the language be adjusted to reflect that no amendment to the Declarations may be implemented so as to recreate a nonconformity with the City's existing zoning and subdivision ordinances as of the date of the amendment and further, that any such. amendments as proposed must be approved by the City Council for the City of Oak Park Heights before they may be implemented should they alter or change any of the conditions or terms provided for within the PUD permit as granted by the City of Oak Park Heights. 5. Article 12, Miscellaneous. We would require that as it affects restrictions on use, an additional paragraph be added to the proposed Declarations that will provide that any activities which are prohibited under the Ordinances of the City of Oak Park Heights, shall also be prohibited activities and uses under the terms of the Declarations of Covenants. Of course, a development agreement will be required as part of the Planned Unit Development approval, if such approval is granted. That Planned Unit Development Agreement will be drafted by this office and submitted to you as part of the final approval process. . • Page 3 September 27, 1993 To: Barry W. McKee Re: City of Oak Park Heights /Swager Bros. In the meantime, either you or Mr. Debenedet I assume are making contact with the Minnesota Department of Transportation to receive permits to connect the roadway system to the existing frontage road roadway which abuts this property. The City of Oak Park Heights will not be in a position to grant any approval (final) on this property until such time as the Minnesota Department of Transportation access permit connection permissions have been received that allow the connection of your proposed roadway system to the frontage road now serving Trunk Highway 36 as it affects your client's property. I am further presuming that the balance of what is denoted as Outlot C in the southwestern section of this property will, for purposes of the development agreement, be declared to be unbuildable to the extent not utilized as part of this development. I am further assuming that the portions of Outlot C so denoted as well as the roadway system, which are also labeled to be Outlot C on the revised plans that I have within my office, will be entitled • with the governance association which you have denoted to be the East Oaks Owner's Association. If my understanding is incorrect in that regard, please advise. Very truly yours, Mark J.
