MEMORANDUM NORTHWEST ASSOCIATED ONULTAN' F INC. 5775 Wayzata Boulevard, Suite 555, St. Louis Park, MN 55416 Telephone: 952.595.9636 Facsimile: 952.5 5.9837 planners@nacplanning.com TO: Kimberly Kamper FROM: Scott Richards DATE: August 23, 2001 RE: Oak Park Heights — Sigstad Carpet FILE NO: 798.02 01.06 As you are aware, the City Council, at their August 14, 2001 meeting, voted to table the request for a conditional use permit and site plan approval to allow for the retail development south of 60 Street North endin additional information from staff p g Please find attached the following information related to approval of the site Ian and p p construction of the street access into the Central Business District. 1. Dennis Pastier, the City Engineer, has submitted a memo and information related to construction of the street and stormwater improvements required for the development. 2. Mark Vierling, the City Attorney, has drafted a development agreement which is submitted for City Council review. 3. The unnamed street which would provide access into the Central Business District and to the property proposed for development would be called Novak Avenue in compliance with the Washington County roadway naming system and the existing roadway that aligns in the residential development to the south. 4. The City has allowed parking on the utility easement south of 60 Street within the Applebee's parking lot. The City Attorney has added a provision in the Sigstad development agreement requiring the property owner to assume all costs for site restoration in the parking lot if utility repairs are required. 5. The parking lot setback from 60 Street for the Applebee's development was 14 feet. The site plan for Sigstad's includes a ten foot setback. The proposed setback complies with City standards. The Applebee's plans were not subject to any requirements of MnDOT as it relates to future need of additional right-of-way on 60 Street. MnDOT has not indicated a need for additional right -of -wa y for the frontage road at this time. 6. The signage included in the site plans is not the final sign p lan but shows conceptually what the building elevations with signs will look like. The applicant has not submitted the final site plan at this time but agrees to comply with the sign provisions within the Zoning Ordinance. The City Council can ask that the sign plan come back for approval once it is developed. 7. The resolution for approval of the CUP and site plan has been revised to address the issues of the City Council and City staff. pc: Kris Danielson 2 L E% AUG 2 2 2001 J ' - ntfrer James F.

Although there is an appeal pending with the Minnesota Court of Appeals relative to the orders of the Minnesota Board of Water and Soil Resources of January 24, 2001, the Board of Water and Soil Resources orders are, nonetheless, jurisdictional and effective until such time as they would be- reversed by the Court of Appeals. Consequently, their order assigning the City of Oak Park Heights to Brown's Creek Watershed District for purposes of watershed authority is effective and does assign stormwater management issues to Brown's Creek Watershed District for purposes of authority at the present time. Obviously, that directive could change should the Court of Appeals issue its order in a manner so as to reverse that directive; however, y- such e as that would ority on stormwater occur the Board of Water and Soil Resources is the juri cc: Kim Damper, Acting City Administrator Ma ;k J.

In short, the drainage calculations, pond sizing and proposed stormwater runoff for the developed conditions are acceptable as submitted. A "brief' explanation: The existing site conditions have slightly over half of the site draining to the north /northeast to the southerly ditch of Goth Street North, which then drains easterly. Slightly less than half of the site drains to an existing swale to the southeast corner of the site, then easterly. Drainage from both directions eventually ends up at the lowpoint in the southwest corner of Goth St. N. and Oakgreen Avenue. The proposed site conditions take almost all of the storm water runoff from the site to a pond in the southeast corner of the property. Although half of the site that used to drain northeasterly is now redirected to the southeast, the pond retains the runoff under various sized storm events and discharges approximately the same rate of runoff to the southeast that the existing site conditions do. Overall, the developed site is discharging at a rate less than the existing site conditions. And when we use the term "redirected ", this flow is tributary to the same ultimate ponding area, so the developed scenario is actually better than the existing conditions, in rrms of rate control.

D . WU i d in " <kwid in @ m mm pcc . o rg> To: <srichards @ nacplanning.com> Sent: Friday, July 27, 2001 1 0:28 PM Subject: Sigstad Carpet - Landscape Plan Scott - 1 have reviewed the landscape plan for Sigstad Carpet and have the following comments: 1. Frontage on 60th St.: The bicolor oaks are fine except that there may be an issue by the frontage road with overhead power lines. If the oaks will be planted within 20 feet of the lines they should be moved to the west planting area to replace some of the lindens. Trees within 20 feet of the lines should be smaller ornamental trees. There is quite a bit of frontage on 60th St. and the Design Guidelines for the Central Business District state that street trees should be planted no more than 30 feet apart. The City would like to see more trees planted along 60th St. and these should be small stature trees such as flowering crabapples (PrairieFire, 'Profusion' and 'Indian Magic' are good varieties). If planted approximately 30 feet on center there should be room for six trees along the frontage. There are too many ginnala maple shrubs planted along the frontage. By replacing some of these with trees, the number of maple shrubs will be reduced. The City would prefer to see the shrubs on the frontage planted in more staggered or clumped groupings rather than a straight line. 2. Parking Lot and Entrance Areas: 1 would not recommend using tree -form ginnala maples in the median extensions for the parking lot. There are enough ginnalas elsewhere already and the clumps will get too big for the site and hang into the parking area, obscuring lines of sight. I would recommend Japanese Tree Lilacs to replace the ginnala trees in the 3 locations shown. The Jap. tree lilac is more resistant to de -icing salts and will not get as big as the ginnala. It would help to soften the facade of the building if there were a few planting areas with small trees and shrubs in pavement cut -outs near the main entrance. The burning bushes and red chokeberries are o.k. in the locations depicted. 3. West Side Planting: I would recommend the use of Tilia americana (Redmond') instead of the linleleaf lindens_ There are more girdling root problems with Tilia cordata and they will not be as long -lived in the landscape. The 'Pat.more= ash are fine (should 'GA' on landscape plan be 'PA'`'). The 'Goldtlame' spirea are fine in the locations depicted. I would recommend that the ginnala shrubs on the west side be replaced with something like dwarf bushhoneysuckle (Diervilla lonicera'). More diversity in the landscape will enhance the longevity of the project. We are seeing more Acer ginnala invading natural areas in Minnesota now because of their widespread use and copious sei production. 4. Pianting Detail - Why are trees set in with 1/3 of root balI. above - rade? Is that to compensate for nursery stock having roots too deep in le ball? Often the balls which are planted high don't get covered Idequately by soil and mulch and the roots dry out. only plant trees that high if soil is heavy clay and there are drainage problems. Back-fill soil should consist of at least 1/2 soil from the site rather than 1/3 as listed in Landscape Notes. Kathy Widin Municipal Arborist City of Oak Park Heights 130/2001 NAC As stand alone development (which this site plan depicts, other than providing for the future street to the south): * The sanitary sewer and water main service locations are acceptable where shown. I would recommend review by the Fire Department to verify adequate fire protection (hydrant coverage). * It is assumed that the existing sanitary sewer and water main that runs along the north side of the property are encompassed by utility easements. and as such. we would not recommend site improvements being proposed within this area. If improvements (parking lot) are allowed.. we would recommend that the developers agreement specifically state that should these utilities require maintenance at any time in the future, it will be the developers /owner's responsibility to restore any surface improvements (parking lot, landscaping, etc...) at their cost. * I would recommend that the proposed northerly driveway be a minimum of 150 from the 60th Street North intersection, particularly if this street is to be part of the CBD street circulation plan and separate left and right turn lanes might be required. * The storm pond being provided is probably adequate for this site (we would need to :see storm water runoff calculations and a drainage area map) As part of the CBD Development: Much more ''bigger picture" development analysis is needed to see how this site fits in to the overall CBD development. * The side street needs to be reviewed for alignment, grades, and width ( turn lanes). * We had envisioned sanitary sewer and water main. and possibly some street storm sewer. within this side street to serve parts of the CBD (see comment above re: driveway location and turning lanes) * The storm water pending should be reviewed on a more regional basis. Instead of having a large number of small individual site ponds. the CBD's sto[JJ water ponding scenario under the Xcel Energy high lines would seem a better overall po ndin g scenario for individual sites to drain to.

Exhibit L - pity Engineer Comments Kris Danielson From: Postler, Dennis M {dpostler a©bo'nestroo.comj gent: Thursday. August 09, 2001 1 0:46 AM o: Scott Ric;Tas (E- mail); Kris Danielson (E -mail) •c: Jay Johnsur7 (E- mail); Mark Vierling (E- mail); Kimberly Kamper (E -mail) Subject: FW: Sigstad Carpets -- truck turning movements_8 -8 -01 faxi.t Scott/Kris: Attached is a fax from Jeff Hensel of Greystone that I requested showing wheel path turning movements for the larger trucks that will be making deliveries to Sigstad Carpets. The first sketch is with the current driveway location 68' from 60th Street N., the second sketch moves the driveway southerly to 109' from 60th Street North. Turning movements from either direction on 60th Street N. under either scenario results in the truck or trailer encroaching into the northbound and of the side street approximately 4' to 6'. This is not a desirable situation for northbound vehicles waiting at this intersection (especially in the future when this becomes a through street with higher traffic volumes). In addition, internal movements just north of the building necessitate the truck driving through a majority of the parking stalls to make the turning movement around their proposed median nose. If any cars are parked there, the truck won't make it through. I discussed these issues with Jeff Hensel yesterday. He acknowledged my concerns. He had two recommendations: They will only allow "early morning" deliveries of the semi trucks 3 cars won't be parked north of the building, and hopefully traffic is minimal on the side street). This sounds good, but probably impossible to regulate? Or, allow a truck only entrance off 60th Street N. to the east of the building (where they currently show Temporary Truck Access). This should then probably be separated from the parking area (with curb and gutter) to dissuade customers from using this entrance. This would result in losing about 3 parking stalls. Also, this would probably require MnDOT approval for access onto 60th Street N.? Of the three scenarios (driveway as is, driveway further south, truck entrance off 60th Street N.), the safest and least disruptive would be the truck entrance only off both Street N. With this scenario, the northerly side street driveway can be located a farther distance from 60th Street N. (reconfigure parking stalls) since trucks would not now have to negotiate the internal turning movements north of the building. Also, they wouldn't need to "cut off' the northeast corner of the building with this scenario. I realize we are only talking about 1 or 2 semi trailers a week for the carpet store, but there is other retail space being proposed needing deliveries. And although we don't usually recommend separate truck only access points, this seems to be the most feasible scenario for the site plan being proposed. Please call me if you have any questions or require additional information. Thanks. Dennis M.

This site is located south of 60 Street North (Highway 36 Frontage Road), and east of the gravel road entrance to the Stillwater Auto Parts (Novak Avenue North) in the City of Oak Park Heights' Central Business District. The purpose of this report is to define the improvements required to serve the subdivision and to provide cost estimates and a method of cost allocation to determine project feasibility. The layout of this site and the improvements required to serve this area are shown on the drawings attached to this report. REQUIRED IMPROVEMENTS Novak Avenue North is platted with an 80 -foot permanent road and utility easement. It is proposed that the permanent street be constructed to the southerly property line of Sigstad Carpets with the terminate being a temporary 90 foot diameter cul -de -sac. The road will be built to a width of 40 feet with barrier type B618 concrete curb and gutter with 10 inches of gravel base and 3 -1/2 inches of bituminous surfacing. No curb or bituminous wearing course would be installed in the temporary cul -de -sac. In addition, there will be streetscaping, which includes stamped concrete sidewalk, decorative fencing, street lights and trees. The City's CBD Design Guidelines propose 64' wide street right-of-ways for this type of mixed -use precinct. Since the existing roadway easement is 80' wide, an alternate for a 16' wide, landscaped median is included (Alternate 1) that would increase the overall street width to 56' between curbs. An eight (8) inch diameter sanitary sewer is located in an easement adjacent to 60 Street North. A connection will be made to this sewer with a main extended southerly into the temporary cul -de -sac. A twelve (12) inch water main also exists along 60 Street North. This project will require that the 12 -inch main be tapped while in service with an 8 inch diameter main extended southerly and terminating near the same location as the sanitary sewer. Storm water on this portion of Novak Avenue North will discharge into catch basins and a proposed culvert under Novak Avenue North at 60 Street North. The storm water runoff from the carpet store is directed into a storm sewer system located within the parking lot. This system discharges to an on site pond before being discharged to the natural drainage swale on the south side of the property. When the area to the south is developed the pond will be removed and the storm sewer system will be connected with the new construction. The connection for the sanitary and water service for Sigstad Carpets will be at the mains adjacent to 60 Street. A six -inch diameter sanitary sewer and 6" water main stub will be extended to the west to serve future development. PERMITS AND EASEMENTS REQUIRED All of the improvements required would be constructed on dedicated local public roadways or on easements being provided by the developer with no other acquisition activities required. There are no wetlands located on the site so no wetland permits will be required. It will be necessary to obtain approval from the Brown's Creek Watershed Management Organization for the grading, drainage and erosion control activity on the site. It will also be necessary to obtain a driveway or entrance permit from the Minnesota Department of Transportation for connecting Novak Avenue to the Highway 36 Service Road or 60 } ' Street. Other than noted above, only standard permits for the construction of the water main and sanitary sewer will be obtained from the Minnesota Department of Health and Pollution Control Agency. A General Storm Water Permit for Construction Activities must also be obtained from the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency. COST ESTIMATES Detailed cost estimates have been prepared for the construction of utilities and streets to serve the site and are included in the Appendix of the report. All costs are based on unit prices anticipated for the 2001 construction season and include a twenty -five (25) percent allowance for engineering, administrative costs and legal fees. An overall summary of these costs is shown below: Item Sanitary Sewer Water Main Services Storm Sewer Street Improvements Alternate 1 Total Project Cost Estimated Cost $20,000.00 $21,200.00 $ 2,300.00 $9,200.00 $167,900.00 $12,500.00 5233,100.00 Trunk area and connection charges, which have been adopted by the City, must also be collected from development. These charges are listed in the Cost Allocation section. COST ALLOCATION All costs being incurred for this project consist of the various improvements along Novak Avenue North. At this time all of the costs shown above would be assigned to Sigstad Carpets. It is anticipated that another lot like Sigstad Carpets could be platted on the west side of Novak Avenue North with no other costs to be incurred. Sigstad Carpets will be reimbursed via assessments levied against the property west of Novak Avenue North. The assessment schedule will be determined by City Council and the estimated amount is shown below under `Future Development" The assignment of costs would be as shown in the following computations: S Carpets, Inc. Sanitary Sewer $20,000.00 Water Main $21,200.00 Services $ 2,3 00.00 Storm Sewer $9,200.00 Street Improvements $167,900.00 Alternate 1 $12, 500.00 Sub total $233,100.00 Connection Charges Trunk Sanitary Sewer 2.54 Acres x $2,600/Ac $6,604.00 Trunk Waterworks 2.54 Acres x $4,520/Ac $11,480.80 Trunk Storm Sewer 2.54 Acres x $5,730/Ac $14,554.20 Sub total $32,639.00 Total $253,239.00 F Development Sewer Water Main Services Storm Sewer Street Improvements Alternate 1 Future eve opment (West of Novak Avenue North) $ 20,000.00 x 50% $10,000.00 $ 21,200.00 x 50% $10,600.00 $ 2,300.00 x 100% $2,300.00 $ 9,200.00 x 50% $4,600.00 $1 67,900.00 x 50% $83,950.00 $ 12,500,00x50% $6,250.00 Total $117,700.00 Connection Charges for the future development will be determined at time of development. CONSLUSIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS As a result of the study, it can be concluded that the construction of utilities and streets to serve the area is feasible. The primary objective is to serve Sigstad Carpets and the balance of the land to the south and west in the City's CBD. It is recommended that this report be approved and used as a guide for the layout and design of the public improvements to served Sigstad Carpets and the Central Business District.
