Dear Ms. Shelley:
Thank you for participating in the City's recycling program. As an incentive to
recycle and to increase fire prevention awareness, the City rewards two
residents each month with their choice of an award of $25.00 or a fire
extinguisher and/or smoke detector(s).
Your residence was checked on Thursday, July 17, 2014, to determine if you

On behalf of the Oak Park Heights City Council, thank you for participating in

Memorandum
To: Eric Johnson,Administrator
Cc: Mayor and Council
From: Andrew Kegley, Public Works Director
Date: 07/16114
Re: Street Line Painting
Maintaining visible traffic control markings on OPH City streets is essential for safety. The
City has made it standard practice to repaint traffic control lines and markings each year as the
paint fades due to weathering and general use of City streets. In previous years, street traffic
control painting was included in street maintenance cost associated with seal coating,however
no seal coating occurred in 2014, but the work is paid for from the same budgeted projects
fund.
I've attached a quote from Stripe Right to paint all OPH street markings (Except those within
construction areas). Stripe Right has consistently provided the lowest quote over the past
several years and performs quality work. Stripe Right's quote to paint City street markings
in 2014 is $22,70238. This work will be paid for out of the budgeted projects sealcoat/crack
seal fund,which currently has a balance of$158,000.
Stripe Right is experienced working in OPH,have performed well in the past and provided a
quote in line with previous year's work. I recommend the Council accept the quote and grant
approval for staff to authorize Stripe Right to complete traffic control marking.

Background/Justification(Pl indicate if any previous action has been taken or if other public bodies
have advised):
Chief DeRosier and I have met with the School District representatives in person and over numerous
email conversations to potentially derive a final agreement on the provision and payment for a School
Resource Officer for the Stillwater Area High School.Both parties were unable to provide a deep history
as to the funding scenarios currently implemented through the 2013-2014 school year.However,looking
prospectively all agreed that the need of an SRO is valuable and desirable.
Accordingly,the final proposal that was favorable was to commit to a three-year,full time SRO and at a
rate of 70 percent of the annualized cost of the officer assigned.This percentage formerly was at 75
percent.The City would retain the full rights of the SRO directives consistent with past practice and
m.hiPr t to tF,p te'rma of A finni formal noreemenr_There nretlinusly was not a known formal written
agreement.
While there is a negative budgetary impact to the City of+/-$4,000 annually due to the percentage
change,(%change depends on the officer assigned),the length of the Agreement does provide some
longer-term assurances for the committed funding.
Recommendation:Approve the enclosed Service Agreement--School Resource Officer subject to any
required modifications by the Chief of Police and/or the City Attorney.

PROJECT DESCRIPTION
Steve Johnston, the project engineer has provided a narrative related to the request for
the Palmer property development. Please find the narrative attached as Exhibit 1.
Assess to the site will be by a connection to Oak Park Boulevard, the street that
services City Hall. There will be one street, to be referred to as Oak Cove. The street
will be public and will be approximately 600 feet in length and end in a cul-de-sac. The
13 residential lots result in a gross density of 1.92 units per acre, and a net density of
2.58 units per acre. The average lot area is 18,485 square feet and the minimum lot
area is 12,327 square feet.
Oak Cove is to be developed as a City street and will be constructed by the City.
Utilities are available to this property. A 12 inch watermain is located within Oak Park
Boulevard which will be connected with an 8 inch watermain to serve the development.
As part of the Highway 36 reconstruction project a new sanitary sewer will be
constructed in the intersection of Oak Park Boulevard and Oakgreen Avenue. An 8 inch
sanitary sewer will be extended to serve the development.

Comprehensive Plan. The 2008 Comprehensive Plan designates this area as low
density residential. Low density residential is defined in the Comprehensive Plan as 1-3
units per acre. The Comprehensive plan anticipated that this area would be rezoned to
R-1 Single Family Residential District. The proposed Palmer development is in
conformance with the Comprehensive Plan.
Zoning. The property is currently zoned O-Open Space Conservation District. The
Applicant has proposed a rezoning to R-1 Single Family Residential District. The
Applicant has also proposed PUDICUP consideration to allow minor reductions in lot
Widths, street right of way widths, street widths, building setbacks, and wetland buffering
width averaging. Section 401.22.E of the Zoning Ordinance allows residential planned
unit development as a conditional use within the R-1 District. The Concept and General
Plans shall be reviewed simultaneously with this request.
Subdivision. The applicant has provided a preliminary plat labeled Palmer Station. A
final plat has also been provided. Both documents are complete in terms of the
information as required by Section 402.06 of the Subdivision Ordinance.
The preliminary and final plat, as well as the dedication of any easements, shall be
subject to review and approval of the City Engineer and the City Attorney.
Lot Requirements.
The lots proposed with this development are as follows:
Lot Number Lot Size minus wetland Lot Width at Front Setback
Lot 1 95,795 Nuare feet 83.3 feet
Lot 2 12,327 square feet 8 1.6 feet
Lot 3 12,878 square feet 72.4 feet
Lot 4 13,172 square feet 72.4 feet
Lot 5 15,343 s uare feet 72.3 feet
Lot 6 16,712 square feet 76.5 feet
Lot 7 21,187 square feet 112.3 feet
Lot 8 18,928 square feet 66.1 feet
Lot 9 17,045 square feet 79.5 feet
Lot 10 14,203 square feet 73.1 feet
Lot 11 15,335 square feet 75.5 feet
Lot 12 13,696 s uare feet 92.8 feet
Lot 13 32,750 square feet 72.8 feet
The R-1 Districts requires a minimum lot size of 10,400 square feet and a lot width of 80
feet. The lot width is measured at the front yard setback (30 feet)which is represented
in the table above. The lot area minimum requires major drainage-ways, wetlands,
water bodies, and road rights of way, to be removed from the overall lot size. The areas
indicated above reflect the definition of lot area minimum.
3
Page 36 of 128
While the proposed lot widths do not meet R-1 District standards, the lots all meet and
some far exceed the minimum lot size. Through the PUD/CUP process, the City could
allow lot widths to be less than the minimum required. The Planning Commission
should discuss this issue.
Park Dedication. The City will not require the dedication of park land in this area but
Will require a cash dedication. The Subdivision Ordinance, in Section 402.8 specifies
the formula's for land and cash dedication. With a net density of 2.58 units per acre, the
cash to be dedicated should be 10 percent of the fair market value of the land. The
Applicant has provided a purchase agreement that qualifies under the criteria in the
Ordinance to establish a fair market value.
Proposed Street/Access. Access to the property is from Oak Park Boulevard. This
access will cross a narrow strip of City owned property which will require an easement
from the City. The street will be referred to as Oak Cove, which is a cul-de-sac design
of approximately 600 feet in length.
Street Design Requirements. The Subdivision Ordinance specifies a maximum length
of a cul-de-sac to be 500 feet unless otherwise approved by the City Council. As
indicated, the 600 foot cul-de-sac design is dictated by the existing shape and length of
the parcel. The Subdivision Ordinance specifies a right of way radius of not less than
65 feet for a cul-de-sac. The proposed right of way radius for the cul-de sac is 55 feet.
The street right of way width for a local street is specified at 60 feet. The proposed right
of way width of the street is 50 feet. Through the PUD/CUP process, the City could
allow the right of way dimensions to be less than the minimum required. The Planning
Commission should discuss this issue. The dimensions proposed are similar to what
the City has allowed for private street development and is typical of other developments
in the area.
The City may want to consider requiring 15 foot drainage and utility easements adjacent
to the right of way instead of the proposed 10 feet to allow adequate space for all utility
placement.
Oak Cove will be a City street and constructed by the City. The street is proposed to be
constructed to 28 feet from face to face of curb and 30 feet from back to back. The cul-
de sac will have a pavement with a 45 foot radius. The City Engineer should comment
on these dimensions. For emergency vehicle access purposes, it is proposed that
parking be allowed on one side of the street only, and no parking be allowed within the
cul-de sac. The Fire Chief and Police Chief should also comment on the proposed
street widths and limited parking.
Trails/Sidewalks. The current trail system includes off street trails on the west side of
Oakgreen Avenue and the south side of Oak Park Boulevard. The developed
neighborhoods to the south and east currently do not have trail connections to this area.
In that it is a cul-de-sac, the Applicants have not proposed placing a sidewalk within the
development. City Staff had discussed the possibility in the future of a trail along the
east side of Oakgreen Avenue, but there are no current plans to develop such a trail.
4
Page 37 of 128
Retention of an easement along the east side of Lots 1-7 should be considered for
future trail purposes. City Staff had also discussed retention of an easement between
Lots 6 and 7 for a future trail connection. The Planning Commission and Parks
Commission should comment on sidewalkltrall development and connections to the
existing trail system. The City should determine if it should retain additional easement
areas for trail development.
Setbacks. The R-1 District requires a front yard setback of 30 feet, side yard setbacks
of 10 feet and year yard setbacks of 30 feet. If the lot is on a comer, the required
setback is 30 feet from the lot line.
The Grading Plan (Exhibit 6) indicates proposed building pads. In all of the lots, the 30
foot front yard setback is complied with. Additionally the 30 foot rear yard setback is
complied with in all lots. The Applicants have proposed reducing the allowable setback
on the garage side of the home to a minimum of 5 feet. The setback to the dwelling
portion of the home would remain at 10 feet. A garage to garage setback would be
required to be 15 feet. On Lot 1, the building pad Is proposed at 10 feet from the north
property line. This is intended to preserve existing trees and is not an issue due to the
Width of the City owned property that is adjacent. Through the PUDICUP process, the
City could allow the setbacks to be less than the minimum required. The Planning
Commission should discuss this issue.
Easements. The Preliminary Plat(Exhibit 13) indicates that 10 foot drainage and utility
easements are placed around each of the lots in compliance with the Subdivision
Ordinance. As indicated, it is recommended that the drainage and utility easements
along the road/cul-de-sac right of way be increased to 15 feet to compensate for the
proposed road right of way width and radius.
The easement for the access via Oak Park Boulevard and for the entrance monument
sign will need to be addressed as part of the Development Agreement.
Wetlands. The plans indicate that there is no direct wetland impact as a result of this
development. The four wetlands are classified as Managed 2 requiring a 30 foot buffer.
The wetland buffer impact/mitigation plan (Exhibit 8) indicates the proposed wetland
buffers and the plan for signing. The Applicant has proposed to reduce the buffers of
small seasonable flooded wetlands (#2 and #3) from 30 feet to a minimum of 15 feet
They propose to mitigate the reduced buffer at a ratio of approximately 3 to 1 with the
dedication of additional bufferlconservation easement. The City Engineer will need to
comment on the acceptability of this mitigation.
Tree PreservadonlLandscaping. The Applicant has provided a tree inventory and
landscape plans for the development. The City Arborist has reviewed the plan in the
memos as found in Exhibit 19. The total number of trees to be replaced is 194. The
Applicant will replace 129 trees at the time of initial site construction and a minimum of
five trees are to be planted in each of the lots after home construction. The landscape
plan Indicates the extensive screening plantings to be installed that will mit+gate the
impact of the development to existing neighbors. The landscape plan also indicates the
5
Page 38 of 128
trees to be planted on private property adjacent to the boulevard to provide street trees.
The plans shall be subject to the final approval of the City Arborist.
Existing Wells/Septic Systems and Oil Tank. The Applicant has provided a diagram
Indicating the location of a well, septic systems, a cistern and an oil tank that currently
exist on the property. As part of the development of this property, the Applicant will be
responsible for capping the well and removal of the septic systems, cistern and oil tank
in compliance with Washington County and if applicable, Minnesota Pollution Control
Agency standards.
Street Plans. Detailed plans for the street have been provided. The City Engineer and
shall review and approve all street plans. The City Engineer has provided a separate
report that is found as an Exhibit 20.
Grading and Drainage. Detailed grading and drainage plans have been provided as
part of the development submittals. The City Engineer and the applicable watershed
authority shall review and approve all of the grading and drainage plans. The City
Engineer has provided a separate report that is found as an Exhibit 20.
Utilities. A utility plan has been submitted. The final utility plan is subject to review
and approval of the City Engineer and Public Works Director. All of the utilities within
the development shall be public and built to City specifications. The City Engineer has
provided a separate report that is found as an Exhibit 20.
Lighting. There are two existing street lights on Oak Pak Boulevard spaced nearly
evenly between the proposed development entrance. The Applicants have proposed
one standard street light at the end of the cul-de-sac.
Signage. The Applicants have proposed placing a monument sign on City property at
the entrance to the development. The landscape plans indicate that the sign will be
landscaped with shrub and perennial plantings. The City will require the developer to
obtain an easement for the sign placement. The City will not maintain the landscaping
and sign; that will be the responsibility of the home owners. The City will specify the
provisions related to the easement and maintenance in the Development Agreement.
Traffic. The potential number of car trips from a single family home averages ten on a
daily basis. With 13 homes, 130 to 150 trips per day generated from this development
should not have an adverse impact on Oak Park Boulevard or the intersection with
Oakgreen Avenue North.
Parking. The Zoning Ordinance requires that all new single family homes are provided
with at least a two stall garage. All of the potential house plans submitted by Creative
Homes, Inc. indicate two stall attached garages within the development.
Building Height. The R-1 District specifies a maximum building height of 35 feet. All
homes will be expected to comply with this standard.
6
Page 39 of 128
Architectural Appearance. The application materials indicate that specific homes
have not been designed for this project. All of the homes will be constructed by
Creative Homes, Inc. The project narrative includes building plans and elevations that
are currently being used by Creative Homes, Inc. in the Liberty West neighborhood in
Stillwater. It is expected that the same or similar style homes will be constructed at
Palmer Station.
The residential units are not required to be reviewed under Design Guideline
requirements, but as part of the PUD, the City can comment and require design and
material changes. The Planning Commission and City Council may comment further on

PROPOSED DEVELOPMENT SUMMARY
The proposed development consists of 13 residential lots served by a public street approximately 600
feet in length. The total parcel is 6.76 acres,with 0.48 acres of wedand,0.83 acres of new and 0.41
acres of"implied 33'Oakgreen Ave.ROW". 'Phis results in gross density of 1.92 units per acre and
a net density of 2.58 units per acre. The average lot area is 18,485 Ft'and the minimum lot area is
12,327 Fe.
The site is located South of Oak Park. Blvd. and East of Oakgreen Avenue North in Oak Park
Heights, Minnesota. The surrounding land uses to the east, south and west are single family
residential homes of comparable size to proposed development. The properties to the north and
Northwest are developed with medium to high density residential.
Access to the site is accomplished through a connection to Oak Park Boulevard,the street/driveway
serving City Hall.
The project is proposed to be developed as a PUD to address minor reductions in lot,street right of
way widths, and building setbacks, wetland buffer width averaging, and tree mitigation. These
alterations to the ordinances along with a minimized street width of 28 feet are requested in part to
reduce impervious area within the site, avoid direct wetland impacts,and work around the existing
hnmP in the SW romer of the site. The reduced right of way has the added benefit of moving the
homes closer to the street resulting in less tree loss.
EXISTING SITE CONDITIONS
The site is presently occupied by a single family home with a variety of outbuildings. These is an
"exception" to the plat in the southwest corner that is occupied by an existing sh*e family home
creating an irregular boundary.
The site has significant existing tree cover, some of which is in a natural state, but the majority of
which is a maintained landscape. See sheets L1.1 and L1.2 for an inventory of the significant trees
on the property
There are four wetlands on the site as delineated by Kjolhaug Environmental Services Company,Inc.
and approved by a Technical Evaluation Panel in the fall of 2013. All four wetlands were determined
to meet the criteria for Managed 2 classification resulting in the requirement for a 30 feet buffer.A
copy of the wetland delineation is attached.
A geotechnical report has been commissioned and the field work completed. The report is expected
within the coming week. The Web Soil Survey indicates the prevalence of Santiago Silt Loam and
Kingsley Sandy Loam, hydrologic soil group (HSG) B and Freer Silt Loam HSG C. A copy of the
soil map is attached.

Oak Park Heights,MN June 2,2014
A portion of the site flows to the north to a wetland in the northeast corner of the site and to a
depression that runs parallel to Oak Park Blvd. These two basins are drained by the same storm
sewer system. The balance of the site flows to the south through a series of small wetlands and
depressions and leaves the site via a swale between two homes. There is approximately 16 feet of
overall relief on the property.
COMPREHENSIVE PLAN AND ZONING
The project site is guided for Low Density Residential in the City's 2008 Comprehensive Plan. Low
Density,is defined as 1-3 units per acre. The proposed project is in conformance with the plan.
The City's Zoning Map designates the site as Open Space Conservation,a holding district. It is
requested that the site be re-zoned to Residential Planned Unit Development for the reasons
outlined elsewhere in this narrative.
STREET ACCESS
It is proposed to access the property from Oak Park Blvd. During the site design process the
alternative to provide a connection to Oakgreen Avenue,but this was deemed unacceptable due to
sight distance and proximity to the Oakgreen/Oak Park intersection to the north and
Oakgreen/56'street to the south. As a result the Oak Park Blvd connection was selected resulting
in a cul-de-sac street of approximately 600 feet in length. To access Oak Park Blvd. the cul-de-sac
to be named Oak Cove,must cross a narrow strip of City owned property. An easement for this
purpose must be obtained from the City.
TRAIL ACCESS
The City's trail system includes separated off street trails on the west side of Oakgreen Avenue and
the South side of Oak Park Blvd. It is our understanding that at some point the trail on Oakgreen
will be extended north to Oak Park. There are no trail connections to the fully developed
properties to the south or east. Given the size of this neighborhood(13 lots) and the proximity to
the Oak Park Blvd. trail(average 300 feet) additional trails are unwarranted. It has been suggested
that a trait connection be provided near the southern end of the neighborhood to the Oakgreen
trail. It is our opinion that this is unnecessary for the reasons stated above and unwise given the
inherent danger of crossing a relatively busy street mid-block.
MUNICIPAL UTILITY AVAILABILITY
A 12"watermain is available to serve this property in Oak Park Blvd. It will require open cutting
the street and wet tapping the line. No interruption to other users is expected. A new 8 inch
warPrma,n will be extended to serve the new homes.
A new sanitary sewer will be constructed in the intersection of Oak Park Blvd and Oakgreen
Avenue as part of the Highway 36 reconstruction project. Connection to this system will require
coordination with the state's contractor relative to tinning and the physical connection.An 8 inch
sanitary sewer will be extended to serve the new homes.
Each individual lot will be served with a 4" sanitary sewer and 1"water service

Subject: Tree Preservation and Landscape Plans -Oakgreen Residential
Follow Up Flag: Flag for follow up
Flag Status: Flagged
OPH Staff-
I have reviewed the plans submitted 5/14/14 for the proposed Oakgreen Residential development on the Palmer
property at 5625 Oakgreen Ave.N..
I. Size of property: The property involved is 6.76A so the city Tree Preservation Ordinance applies.
2. Tree Inventory: The plans contain a tree inventory done 2/8/14. The species look appropriate based on what
I know of the property. I have not yet gone on the site to verify a sampling of the tree species and diameters,
but will do that by Tues. 5/27. There is a listing of trees on the property(the Tree Preservation Schedule)which
indicates which trees are to be removed in the process of development. The plans state that these are 134
healthy significant trees on the site and that 41 significant trees are to be removed.
3. Tree Replacement Requirement: I have reviewed the tree replacement requirement calculations and they
appear to be accurate. They have calculated the required inches of replacement trees to be 510 inches. There is
a credit of 51 in. for preserving more than 50%of the significant trees on the property,which brings the total of
repI.inches to 459. 13,700 sq. ft. of native woody vegetation are also being removed, which requires I tree to
replace each 1,000 sq. ft.of native woody vegetation, for an additional 14 trees. 186 trees are proposed to
satisfy the tree replacement requirement.
4.Tree Preservation Schedule: I did note that some of the diameters listed in this schedule.(e.g. 78 in., 97 in.)
seem very large for tree diameters. This would affect the calculation of diameter inches removed/retained. I
can check diameters of these trees when I make a site inspection of the property next week.
5.Tree Replacement/Landscape Plan: The tree species proposed to be planted to satisfy the tree replacement
requirement are all acceptable species. Many of the trees listed are native or"near native", are hardy under our
growing conditions, and have few serious insect or disease problems. Most do very well in our area. There is
good species diversity, which will make the replacement plantings more sustainable. The tree sizes listed in the
planting schedule are appropriate for this type of development and fulfill zoning ordinance requirements. There
are an additional 23 trees(red maple)indicated in the landscape plan,to make a total of 209 trees to be
planted. The trees are placed in suitable locations on the plan with a nice mix of replacement and existing trees
and adequate screening at the edges of the development. The tree planting should enhance the appearance of
the development.
6. Planting Detail: This is included as part of the landscape plan and is acceptable. The approved planting
detail must be followed and the site will be checked for proper tree planting practices. If the planting detail has
not been adhered to,the trees will have to be re-planted properly.
i
Page 74 of 128
i
'7. Tree Preservation Detail: This has been included in the plans and is acceptable. Tree preservation detail
and notes in the plans must be adhered to. Sites will be checked routinely for proper tree preservation
practices. One comment I would make is that 5 ft. orange snow fencing is usually a better protection as tree
fencing than silt fence.
S. Emerald Ash Borer: A number of trees to be preserved on the site are ash. Though emerald ash borer
(EAB)has not yet been confirmed in Washington County,it is in the Twin Cities area and will soon be found
here. To protect ash in good condition, they should be injected with insecticides which are effective against
EAR Any untreated ash tree will die fiom attack by this insect. This should be a major consideration as part of
the development and tree preservation on this property. A separate inventory of ash trees to be retained should
be done, including a determination of the condition of each ash and whether or not its condition warrants
protection.
I will be unable to attend the site review meeting with staff on Wed. 5121. Please contact me if you have any
questions regarding this plan review. Please forward my report to the developer.

Subject: Palmer Station - Landscape/Re-Planting Plan 6/2
Follow Up Flag: Flag for follow up
Flag Status: Flagged
OPH Staff-
I have reviewed the revised plans for the Palmer Station project, dated 612114. The changes I noted are below:
1. Tree replacement inches were decreased by 30 in. to 429 in. plus 13 trees. The total trees shown which are
to be replaced is 187. 129 trees are to be planted by the developer and the rest(5/lot=65)are to be planted by
the home builder.-Some of the latter trees will be "boulevard" trees. These are currently shown to be
planted in the right-of-way. Is that what the City wants? The remainder will be planted elsewhere on the
home lots. These trees will need to be chosen from the list on the plan and will need to be minimum required
sizes as indicated in the landscape schedule.
2. Landscape Plan design has changed from the earlier plan submitted. Plan is still attractive and contains
adequate screening between this development, the two roadways, and adjoining properties.
3. Plant Species listed in the landscape schedule have changed slightly and numbers have changed as
well. This is acceptable and will still result in a nice landscape/tree replacement plan.
4. Existing Tree Species -I took a quick look at the property and species seen compare favorably in species
and size to those indicated on the plan and tree list.
5. Tree Condition -I reiterate that the condition of trees to be preserved on the property, and which will exist
after the development is completed, should be evaluated for condition and potential risk by an arborist who is
familiar with tree risk assessment. This is particularly important for any trees which will end up next to a
roadway,house/yard or trail.
Please contact me if you have any questions regarding this plan review. Please forward my comments to the
developer.

Re: Item#1 in the report?sent 6/3 re: Faimer Station, I mistakenly thought the"boulevard"trees were depicted on the
new plans to be planted in the road r.o.w.; however,they are actually depicted to be planted in the property setback
area. This puts the trees on private property and the responsibility of the homeowner or HOA.

Reference: Palmer Station-initial Storm Water Plan Review
Dear Eric,
We have initially reviewed the site Development plans for Palmer Station as submitted by Creative
Home Construction Investments on May 14, 2014. Following are our initial comments and/or
recommendations.
Storm Water Construction Permit Comments:
As the development creates 1.24 acres of new impervious area,construction activities will be
subject to the requirements of the MPCA NPDES Construction Permit.
Per the Construction Permit, "Where a project's ultimate development replaces vegetation
and/or other pervious surfaces with one (1) or more acres of cumulative impervious
surface,the Permitee(s) must design the project so that the water quality volume of one (1)
inch of runoff from the new impervious surfaces created by the project is retained on site.,,
o Based on 1.24 acres of impervious area, 4501 cf of volume must be retained This
required volume is achieved in the larger irifiifration basin (6 100 cf capacity).
However,as shown in the City of Oak Park Heights Wellhead Protection Plan, Part 2,the
project area is located in the City's High Vulnerability DWSMA(see attached DWSMA
Figure). Section 111.D.1.j.vii.of the Construction Permit states "Infiltration is prohibited when
the infiltration system will be constructed in areas with a Drinking Water Supply
Management Area (DWSMA) as defined in Minn. R.4720.5100,subp. 13.,unless allowed by
a local unit of government with a current MS4 permit.
o As the development area also falls within the Emergency Response Area
(approximately 1-year recharge time),the City will not allow for infiltration on the
project. (See attached ERA Figure)
As infiltration will not be allowed,the City recommends that the plans be revised to treat
the required water quality volume of one inch over the impervious (4501 cf) through

filtration. Any filtration system should be designed based on the most recent update of the
MN Stormwater Manual.

PLANNING REPORT
TO: Eric Johnson
FROM: Scott Richards
DATE: July 3, 2014
RE: Oak Park Heights— Palmer Station--Property Subdivision—
Rezoning, Planned Unit DevelopmentlConditional Use Permit,
and Preliminary/Final Plat Approval— 13999 601' Street North.
TPC FILE: 236.02— 14.02
BACKGROUND
Nick Hackworthy, representing Creative Home Construction Investments, LLC has
made an application for approval of a 13 lot subdivision on the Palmer property at
13999 60th Street North. The property is south of Oak Park Boulevard, and east of
Oakgreen Avenue North. The application consists of requests for Rezoning, Planned
Unit DevelopmentlConditional Use Permit (PUDlCUP), and Preliminary/Final Plat
approvals.
The Planning Commission held a public hearing on the application at their June 12,
2014 meeting. The public hearing was continued to the July 10, 2014 meeting. The two
primary issues addressed by the public at the meeting were the allowances requested
through the Planned Unit Development process related to the lots and right of way, and
the storm water drainage for lots to the south of the development.
Since that meeting, City Staff has met with the Applicants to address these issues.
Please find as follows a discussion of the two issues.
The review is based upon the following submittals:
Exhibit 1: Planning Report- June 5, 2014(Please bring your paper copy from the
June meeting)
Exhibit 2: City Engineers Report—Chris Long, Stantec--June 26, 2014
Exhibit 3: Project Engineer's Memo - Steve Johnston, Elan Design Lab—July 2,
2014
Page 80 of 128
ISSUES ANALYSIS
Lot Width and Rights of W�
Residents who spoke at the public hearing expressed concerns with the allowances that
were being granted for lot widths and the right of way. Dan Thurmes, Cornerstone Land
Surveying, Inc., has done the survey and plat work for the project. He provided this
information following the Planning Commission meeting:
"1 did some measurements based on County GIS Mapping in Oak Park Heights and
came up with the following:
1. The majority of the sampled street widths are 32 feet wide.
2. The sampled street widths in Autumn Ridge are 30 fleet wide.
3. All the cul-de-sacs sampled were either 45 feet or 46 feet radius. Again, this is
what they are proposing. l did not see any "no parldng"signs.
4. The cul-de-sac length is the same as the one to the west(5e street)
One of the major reasons they are asking for a smaller street width is to decrease the
hard surface to help with the neighbor's drainage problem. 1 would be against smaller
street widths!f this was a through street, but this is a minimal length cul-de-sac.
1 appreciate your concern for safety but if the City thought that we needed an altemate
fire truck route for a cul-de-sac then it would be part of their design guidelines.
- The surrounding 15 lots on the east, south and west have an average lot area of
13,700 square feet
- The proposed 13 lots have an average of 16,900 square feet.
- That would be about 20% less density."
Lot Requirements.
The lots proposed with this development are as follows:
Lot Number Lot Size minus wetland Lot Width at Front Setback
Lot 1 15,795 square feet 83.3 feet
Lot 2 12,327 square feet 81.6 feet
Lot 3 12,878 square feet 72.4 feet
Lot 4 13,172 s uare feet 72.4 feet
Lot 5 15,343 square feet 72.3 feet
Lot 6 16,712 square feet 76.5 feet
Lot 7 21,187 square feet 112.3 feet
Lot 8 18,928 square feet 66.1 feet
Lot 9 17,045 square feet 79.5 feet
Lot 10 14,203 square feet 73.1 feet
Lot 11 15,335 square feet 75.5 feet
Lot 12 13,696 square feet 92.8 feet
Lot 13 32,750 square feet 72.8 feet
2
Page 81 of 128
The R-1 District requires a minimum lot size of 10,400 square feet and a lot width of 80
feet. The lot width is measured at the front yard setback (30 feet)which is represented
in the table above. The lot area minimum requires major drainage-ways, wetlands,
water bodies, and road rights of way, to be removed from the overall lot size. The areas
indicated above reflect the definition of lot area minimum.
While the proposed lot widths do not meet R-1 District standards, the lots all meet and
some far exceed the minimum lot size. Through the PUD/CUP process, the City could
allow lot widths to be less than the minimum required. The Planning Commission
should further discuss this issue.
Street Design Requirements. The subdivision ordinance specifies a maximum length
of a cul-de-sac to be 500 feet unless otherwise approved by the City Council. As
indicated, the 600 foot cul-de-sac design is dictated by the existing shape and length of
the parcel. The Subdivision Ordinance specifies a right of way radius of not less than
65 feet for a cul-de-sac. The proposed right of way radius for the cul-de sac is 55 feet.
The street right of way width for a local street is specified at 60 feet. The proposed right
of way width of the street is 50 feet. Through the PUD/CUP process, the City could
allow the right of way dimensions to be less than the minimum required. The Planning
Commission should discuss this issue. The dimensions proposed are similar to what
the City has allowed for private street development and is typical of other developments
in the area.
The City may want to consider requiring 15 foot drainage and utility easements adjacent
to the.right of way instead of the proposed 10 feet to allow adequate space for all utility
placement.
Oak Cove will be a City street and constructed by the City. The street is proposed to be
constructed to 28 feet from face to face of curb and 30 feet from back to back. The cul-
de sac will have a pavement with a 45 foot radius. The City Engineer should comment
on these dimensions. For emergency vehicle access purposes, it is proposed that
parking be allowed on one side of the street only, and no parking be allowed within the
cul-de sac. The Fire Chief and Police Chief should also comment on the proposed
street widths and limited parking.
S1ormwater
The City Engineer, Chris Long has provided a report reviewing the storm water, grading,
and utility plans, as well as the preliminary plat. To address the storm water issue for
residents to the south of the proposed development, Mr. Long will require a storm water
pipe between 5519 and 5523 Oakgreen Place North to handle the 100 year storm
event. His report indicates the following:
"2. Due to existing storm water drainage concerns to the south between the properties
of 5523 Oakgreen Place North and 5599 Oakgreen Place North, please provide details
on how the storm water overflows will be controlled.
3
Page 82 of 128
a. The current proposed design of the emergency overflow from the
redevelopment site continues to the south, and the City is requiring the
Installation of a storm water pipe between the properties to address a 100
year storm event(see attachment for the general installation location of
this pipe).
City Staff has met with the Applicants and determined that the storm water pipe could
be directionally drilled so as not to disturb the lawns between the properties affected.
Only the boulevard area between the two homes would be disturbed. The cost of
installing the storm water pipe is approximately$62,000.00.
In his memo, the Project Engineer Steve Johnston has proposed that the City share in
the cost of installing the storm water pipe. He has proposed that the City share be 50
percent or $31,000.00. He has also requested that the developer receive some
compensatory relief from the tree replacement requirements. His report outlines the
request to reduce the required tree replacement per lot from 15 to 10. They also
request to reduce the builder installed trees (after home construction) from five to four
per lot.
The City Council will need to determine if there will be any sharing of the cost. The City
policy has been that the developer pays all costs, whether utility or street, that result
from development of a property. This policy has applied even if the improvements are
off-site and are being done to correct an existing situation. The City Council will not
consider a reduction in the tree replacement. There has not been a deviation from this
requirement allowed in the past. Either the trees will need to be replaced or
compensation will be paid by the developer based upon the formula in the Zoning
Ordinance.
CONCLUSION I RECOMMENDATION
The Planning Commission is to consider the following as it relates to this request:
1. Rezoning of the property to R-1 Single Family Residential
2. Planned Unit Development/Conditional Use Permit
3. Preliminary/Final Plat
Based upon the preceding review, City staff recommends that the Planning Commission
review the issues raised herein, especially as it relates to the requests to vary from the
Subdivision and Zoning Ordinance standards through the PUD/CUP process.
If the Planning Commission is ready to make a recommendation on the application
consisting of requests for Rezoning, Planned Unit Development/Conditional Use Permit
(PUD/CUP), and Preliminary/Final Plat approvals, please find as follows a list of

PROJECT DESCRIPTION
Steve Johnston, the project engineer has provided a narrative related to the request for
the Palmer property development. Please find the narrative attached as Exhibit 1.
Assess to the site will be by a connection to Oak Park Boulevard, the street that
services City Hall. There will be one street, to be referred to as Oak Cove. The street
will be public and will be approximately 600 feet in length and end in a cul-de-sac. The
13 residential lots result in a gross density of 1.92 units per acre, and a net density of
2.58 units per acre. The average lot area is 18,485 square feet and the minimum lot
area is 12,327 square feet.
Oak Cove is to be developed as a City street and will be constructed by the City.
Utilities are available to this property. A 12 inch watermain is located within Oak Park
Boulevard which will be connected with an 8 inch watennain to serve the development.
As part of the Highway 36 reconstruction project a new sanitary sewer will be
constructed in the intersection of Oak Park Boulevard and Oakgreen Avenue. An 8 inch
sanitary sewer will be extended to serve the development.

units per acre. The Comprehensive plan anticipated that this area would be rezoned to
R-1 Single Family Residential District. The proposed Palmer development is in
conformance with the Comprehensive Plan.
Zoning. The property is currently zoned O-Open Space Conservation District. The
Applicant has proposed a rezoning to R-1 Single Family Residential District. The
Applicant has also proposed PUDICUP consideration to allow minor reductions in lot
widths, street right of way widths, street widths, building setbacks, and wetland buffering
width averaging. Section 401.22.E of the Zoning Ordinance allows residential planned
unit development as a conditional use within the R-1 District. The Concept and General
Plans shall be reviewed simultaneously with this request.
Subdivision. The applicant has provided a preliminary plat labeled Palmer Station. A
final plat has also been provided. Both documents are complete in terms of the
infbrmation as required by Section 402.06 of the Subdivision Ordinance.
The preliminary and final plat, as well as the dedication of any easements, shall be
subject to review and approval of the City Engineer and the City Attorney.

Lot 12 13,696 square feet 92.8 feet
Lot 13 32,750 s uare feet 72.8 feet
The R-1 Districts requires a minimum lot size of 10,400 square feet and a lot width of 80
feet. The lot width is measured at the front yard setback (30 feet) which is represented
in the table above. The lot area minimum requires major drainage-ways, wetlands,
water bodies, and road rights of way, to be removed from the overall lot size. The areas
indicated above reflect the definition of lot area minimum.

Page 88 of 128
While the proposed lot widths do not meet R-1 District standards, the lots all meet and
some far exceed the minimum lot size. Through the PUDJCUP process, the City could
allow lot widths to be less than the minimum required. The Planning Commission
should discuss this issue.
Park Dedication. The City will not require the dedication of park land in this area but
will require a cash dedication. The Subdivision Ordinance, in Section 402.8 specifies
the formula's for land and cash dedication. With a net density of 2.58 units per acre, the
cash to be dedicated should be 10 percent of the fair market value of the land. The
Applicant has provided a purchase agreement that qualifies under the criteria in the
Ordinance to establish a fair market value.
Proposed StreetlAccess. Access to the property is from oak ParK Boulevard. This
access will cross a narrow strip of City owned property which will require an easement
from the City. The street will be referred to as Oak Cove, which is a cul-de-sac design
of approximately 600 feet in length.
Street Design Requirements. The Subdivision Ordinance specifies a maximum length
of a cul-de-sac to be 500 feet unless otherwise approved by the City Council. As
indicated, the 600 foot cul-de-sac design is dictated by the existing shape and length of
the parcel. The Subdivision Ordinance specifies a right of way radius of not less than
65 feet for a cul-de-sac. The proposed right of way radius for the cul-de sac is 55 feet.
The street right of way width for a local street is specified at 60 feet. The proposed right
of way width of the street is 50 feet. Through the PUDICUP process, the City could
allow the right of way dimensions to be less than the minimum required. The Planning
Commission should discuss this issue. The dimensions proposed are similar to what
the City has allowed for private street development and is typical of other developments
in the area.
The City may want to consider requiring 15 foot drainage and utility easements adjacent
to the right of way instead of the proposed 10 feet to allow adequate space for all utility
placement.
Oak Cove will be a City street and constructed by the City. The street is proposed to be
constructed to 28 feet from face to face of curb and 30 feet from back to back. The cul-
de sac will have a pavement with a 45 foot radius. The City Engineer should comment
on these dimensions. For emergency vehicle access purposes, it is proposed that
parking be allowed on one side of the street only, and no parking be allowed within the
cul-de sac. The Fire Chief and Police Chief should also comment on the proposed
street widths and limited parking.
Trails/Sidewalks. The current trail system includes off street trails on the west side of
Oakgreen Avenue and the south side of Oak Park Boulevard. The developed
neighborhoods to the south and east currently do not have trail connections to this area.
In that It is a cul-de-sac, the Applicants have not proposed placing a sidewalk within the
development. City Staff had discussed the possibility in the future of a trail along the
east side of Oakgreen Avenue, but there are no current plans to develop such a trail.
4
Page 89 of 128
Retention of an easement along the east side of i_ots 14 should be considered for
future trail purposes. City Staff had also discussed retention of an easement between
Lots 6 and 7 for a future trail connection. The Planning Commission and Parks
Commission should comment on sidewalk/trall development and connections to the
existing trail system. The City should determine if it should retain additional easement
areas for trail development.
Setbacks. The R-1 District requires a front yard setback of 30 feet, side yard setbacks
of 10 feet and year yard setbacks of 30 feet. If the lot Is on a comer, the required
setback is 30 feet from the lot line.
The Grading Plan (Exhibit 6) indicates proposed building pads. In all of the lots, the 30
foot front yard setback is compiled with. Additionally the 30 foot rear yard setback is
compiled with in all lots. The Applicants have proposed reducing the allowable setback
on the garage side of the home to a minimum of 5 feet. The setback to the dwelling
portion of the home would remain at 10 feet. A garage to garage setback would be
required to be 15 feet. On Lot 1, the building pad is proposed at 10 feet from the north
property line. This is intended to preserve existing trees and is not an issue due to the
width of the City owned property that is adjacent. Through the PUDICUP process, the
City could allow the setbacks to be less than the minimum required. The Planning
Commission should discuss this issue.
Easements. The Preliminary Plat(Exhibit 13) indicates that 10 foot drainage and utility
easements are placed around each of the lots in compliance with the Subdivision
Ordinance. As indicated, it is recommended that the drainage and utility easements
along the road/cul-de-sac right of way be increased to 15 feet to compensate for the
proposed road right of way width and radius.
The easement for the access via Oak Park Boulevard and for the entrance monument
sign will need to be addressed as part of the Development Agreement.
Wetlands. The plans indicate that there is no direct wetland impact as a result of this
development. The four wetlands are classified as Managed 2 requiring a 30 foot buffer.
The wetland buffer impact/mltigation plan (Exhibit 8) indicates the proposed wetland
buffers and the plan for signing. The Applicant has proposed to reduce the buffers of
small seasonable flooded wetlands (#2 and #3) from 30 feet to a minimum of 15 feet.
They propose to mitigate the reduced buffer at a ratio of approximately 3 to 1 with the
dedication of additional buffer/conservation easement. The City Engineer will need to
comment on the acceptability of this mitigation.
Tree Pmservationli-andscaping. The Applicant has provided a tree inventory and
landscape plans for the development. The City Arborist has reviewed the plan in the
memos as found in Exhibit 19. The total number of trees to be replaced is 194. The
Applicant will replace 129 trees at the time of initial site construction and a minimum of
five trees are to be planted in each of the lots after home construction. The landscape
plan indicates the extensive screening plantings to be Installed that will mitigate the
impact of the development to existing neighbors. The landscape plan also indicates the
5
Page 90 of 128
f
trees to be planted on private property adjacent to the boulevard to provide street trees.
The plans shall be subject to the final approval of the City Arborist.
Existing W01181Septic Systems and Oil Tank. The Applicant has provided a diagram
indicating the location of a well, septic systems, a cistern and an oil tank that currently
exist on the property. As part of the development of this property, the Applicant will be
responsible for capping the well and removal of the septic systems, cistern and oil tank
in compliance with Washington County and if applicable, Minnesota Pollution Control
Agency standards.
Street Plans. Detailed plans for the street have been provided. The City Engineer and
shall review and approve all street plans. The City Engineer has provided a separate
report that is found as an Exhibit 20.
Grading and Drainage. Detailed grading and drainage plans have been provided as
part of the development submittals. The City Engineer and the applicable watershed
authority shall review and approve all of the grading and drainage plans. The City
Engineer has provided a separate report that is found as an Exhibit 20.
Utilities. A utility plan has been submitted. The final utility plan is subject to review
and approval of the City Engineer and Public Works Director. All of the utilities within
the development shall be public and built to City specifications. The City Engineer has
provided a separate report that is found as an Exhibit 20.
Lighting. There are two existing street lights on Oak Pak Boulevard spaced nearly
evenly between the proposed development entrance. The Applicants have proposed
one standard street light at the and of the cul-de-sac.
Signage. The Applicants have proposed placing a monument sign on City property at
the entrance to the development. The landscape plans indicate that the sign will be
landscaped with shrub and perennial plantings. The City will require the developer to
obtain an easement for the sign placement. The City will not maintain the landscaping
and sign; that will be the responsibility of the home owners. The City will specify the
provisions related to the easement and maintenance in the Development Agreement.
Traffic. The potential number of car trips from a single family home averages ten on a
daily basis. With 13 homes, 130 to 150 trips per day generated from this development
should not have an adverse impact on Oak Park Boulevard or the intersection with
Oakgreen Avenue !North.
Parking. The Zoning Ordinance requires that all new single family homes are provided
with at least a two stall garage. All of the potential house plans submitted by Creative
Homes, Inc. indicate two stall attached garages within the development.
Building Height. The R-1 District specifies a maximum building height of 35 feet. All
homes will be expected to comply with this standard.
6
Page 91 of 128
Architectural Appearance. The application materials indicate that specific homes
have not been designed for this project. All of the homes will be constructed by
Creative Homes, Inc. The project narrative includes building plans and elevations that
are currently being used by Creative Homes, inc. in the liberty West neighborhood in
Stillwater. It is expected that the same or similar style homes will be constructed at
Palmer Station.
The residential units are not required to be reviewed under Design Guideline
requirements, but as part of the PUD, the City can comment and require design and
material changes. The Planning Commission and City Council may comment further on
the building appearance and materials as part of the review.

Reference: Palmer Station-Plan Review
Dear Eric,
We have reviewed the site Development plans for Palmer Station as submitted by
Creative Home Construction Investments on May 14, 2014. Following are our comments
and/or recommendations.
Storm Water Construction Permit Comments (provide previously on June 6,2014):
As the development creates 1.24 acres of new impervious area,construction activities
will be subject to the requirements of the MPCA NPDES Construction Permit.
e Per the Construction Permit, "Where a project's ultimate development replaces
vegetation and/or other pervious surfaces with one (1) or more acres of
cumulative impervious surface,the Permitee(s) must design the project so that the
water quality volume of one (1) inch of runoff from the new impervious surfaces
created by the project is retained on site."
o Based on 1.24 acres of impervious area, 4501 cf of volume must be
retained. This required volume is achieved in the larger infiltration basin
(6 100 cf capacity).
However, as shown in the City of Oak Park Heights Wellhead Protection Plan, Part
2, the project area is located in the City's High Vulnerability DWSMA (see attached
DWSMA Figure). Section III.D.I.j.vii. of the Construction Permit states "Infiltration is
prohibited when the infiltration system will be constructed in areas with a Drinking
Water Supply Management Area (DWSMA) as defined in Minn. R. 4720.5100, subp.
13., unless allowed by a local unit of government with a current MS4 permit.

o As the development area also falls within the Emergency Response Area
(approximately 1-year recharge time), the City will not allow for infiltration
on the project. (See attached ERA Figure)
• As infiltration will not be allowed, the City recommends that the plans be revised to
treat the required water quality volume of one inch over the impervious (4501 cf)
through filtration. Any filtration system should be designed based on the most
recent update of the MN Stormwater Manual.
Sheet C1.2-Demolition Plan
1. Clearly label and identify all trees being removed as well as all site clearing areas.
2. For the installation of the sanitary sewer, full width removal of the street will be
required at the intersection of Oak Park Boulevard and Oakgreen Avenue North.
3. Remove and replace curb and gutter along Oak Park Boulevard per City standard
detail STR-31.
Sheet C3.1 -Grading Plan
1. Provide detail on the emergency overflow for Wetland 1. Is the overflow planned
to be to the north into the proposed infiltration basinV
2. Due to existing storm water drainage concerns to the south between the
properties of 5523 Oakgreen Place North and 5519 Oakgreen Place North, please
provide details on how the storm water overflows will be controlled.
a. The current proposed design of the emergency overflow from the
redevelopment site continues to the south, and the City is requiring the
installation of a storm sewer pipe between the properties to address a 100-
year storm event (see attachment for the general installation location of this
pipe)
b. All easements for the properties to the south of the redevelopment need to
be identified on the plans.
c. As discussed in the stormwater construction permit comments above, the
infiltration basins must be redesigned to filter the storm water.Therefore, the
infiltration basin identified to the north of Wetland 1 will require redesign and
may require a drain file pipe and outlet.
3. The mill and overlay patch shown on Oak Park Boulevard needs to be shown for
the full width (end radii) of the proposed Oak Cove street.

Sheet C3S-Grading Details
1. Provide a geotechnical report with soil boring data.The proposed street typical
section will be reviewed after receiving this information.
Sheet C4.1-Utility Plan
. It is typical City standard to install drain file uphill of the catch basin low point
locations. Following storm water filtration revisions this detail and the remaining
storm sewer can be reviewed.
2. Sanitary sewer MH-2 needs to be located in the center of the roadway alignment,
while maintaining 10' separation between the new water main and sewer.
3. Water main shall be installed at a minimum cover of 8.5'.
4. Pipe materials:
a. Water Main: CL 52 DIP with polywrap
b. Storm Sewer: RCP
5. The connection to the water main on Oak Park Boulevard via wet tap is not
allowed. The new water main shall be connected with a sleeve and tee, and gate
valve to be located at the end radius of Oak Cove.
6. Standard hydrant and casting specifications will be provided and plan notes will
need to be revised.
Sheet C5.1 -Preliminary Plat
1. Consider providing easement for future trail connection to the south of the
development.
General Comments
1. Additional standard details will be provided from the City.
2. Consider providing a sanitary sewer service to 5565 Oakgreen Avenue North.it has
been the intention of the City to provide service to this property upon the
redevelopment of the proposed Palmer Station site, as a grinder pump is currently
utilized to lift sewage to a higher elevation on 56m Street North.

Subject: Palmer Station off-site drainage improvements
Gentlemen,
We have reviewed your request for the developer to install storm sewer in the development to the
south of the site. Under our current proposed design we are reducing the volume and rate of
runoff from our site. We have identified options to provide filtration of stormwater instead of
infiltration and are confident that we can engineer a solution without the offsite storm sewer. In
other words,it is our opinion that from an engineering perspective,we do not need the pipe.
We have reviewed the grading plan,plat and record drawings for Valley Point 2°d Addition and
note that prior to development the contours indicate water flowed unimpeded from our site to the
south. After development in 1990 the runoff from our site was limited to a swale in a 15 foot
public drainage and utility easement between Lots 4&5 Block 1. We have no way of knowing
if the swale was ever constructed properly but today the easement is encroached upon by two
fences and the grade is more than a foot higher than the original design. The owners of our site
did not create the drainage issues. They were created 25 years ago when Valley Point 2°d
Addition was developed and the infrastructure was designed and installed by the City of Oak
Park Heights.
With that said we are supportive of the installation of the offsite storm sewer system since it
provides some benefit for our project and especially for the adjacent neighbors that are currently
experiencing drainage issues. A storm sewer at our southern border will simplify the filtration
design and provide a positive well defined discharge point for Palmer Station, which is beneficial
for us. But,more importantly it could be utilized to lower the seasonal groundwater affecting the
neighbors basements,provide them with a greater degree of confidence that they will not see an
increase in runoff issues and show our intention to be good neighbors.
As we discussed in today's meeting we believe that the most cost effective way to install storm
sewer in this fully established neighborhood is by directional drilling. Under this scenario a pipe
would be bored in the east boulevard of Oakgreen Place N. from the existing pipe between Lots
4 &5, Block 2,north to the lot line between Lots 4&5, Block 1. From there a second pipe
Page 103 of 128
would be installed along the property line,between Lots 4&5,Block 1, again by directional
drilling. A storm manhole structure would be built over the existing storm sewer line, at the
connection point, and a second storm manhole would be built at the extension of the 4&5
common lot line. Once the pipe reaches our site it would be extended into a redesigned detention
basin. Drain tile could also be installed along the plat line to provide ground water control.
The real benefit of directional drilling is that we will only need to disturb the boulevard where
the two structures are built, compared with typical construction where the street or entire
boulevard would be torn up and all trees,landscaping, sod,fences and driveways would be
disturbed. With directional drilling the most suitable pipe material is a thick solid wall
polyethylene pipe. These pipes come in 50 foot pieces that are butt welded together on site to
create a single durable pipe. The only concern with this atypical approach is that the pipe would
be curved around corners,which actually improves flow characteristics. We have confirmed the
following unit prices with an installer of these pipe,E J Mayers Construction. They also
confirmed that they can maintain grade of less than 1%without significant dips as long as they
do not hit a lot of rocks. They would televise the line after installation and open cut to repair any
significant settlements.The 12"pipe could be installed at a depth of approximately 5 feet at a 2%
grade,or it could be installed at a flatter grade to provide more depth at the plat line—the cost is
roughly the same.
Estimated Cost
550 LF 12"PEP @$75 $41,250
2 CB Manholes @$2500= $5,000
Restoration $5,000
Contingency 5 000
Subtotal $56,250
Engineering 100/9 $5,600
Total $62,000
As discussed above the Palmers did not create this problem,and a result we believe the
community should share some of the responsibility for the cost. We request that the City use a
funding source of their choosing to pay 50%or$31,000. We further request that as part of the
PUD the developer receive some compensatory relief from the tree replacement requirements.
As discussed in the planning staff report our plan saves a 72%of the existing trees on the site
which equates to 7 trees per lot. However the tree replacement formulas require us to replace
429 caliper inches of trees or 195 trees(15 per lot). Clearly,this is more trees than are needed to
create an urban forest. To help offset our share of the off-site storm sewer line we request a 5
tree per lot reduction. This still leaves an average of 7 large existing trees and 10 new trees per
Page 104 of 128
lot(plus numerous small trees not counted in the inventory). We would propose to reduce the
builder installed trees to 4 per lot and getup the remaining 78 developer installed trees in
strategic locations around the perimeter of the site where they provide the greatest aesthetic and
buffering benefit.
If there are any questions please let me know.

RE: Oak Park Heights- Palmer Station swu Planning Commission
Quorum
TPC FILE: 236.02 - 14.02
As you are aware, the Planning Commission held the continued public hearing for the
consideration of the Palmer Station at its July 10, 2014 meeting. The meeting was
opened with a quorum with three of five members present. The Planning Commission
Bylaws indicate the following related to quorum:
Article 8 - Meeting Procedures
B. Quorum. A majority of the voting membership (three fifths (315)) shall
constitute a quorum for meeting purposes.
One of the commission members, Dan Thurmes is the surveyor of the property and has
been retained by the Palmer Station developers, At the beginning of the meeting, Mr.
Thurmes indicated his conflict of interest and stepped down from the table but stated
that he would vote "abstain" at the time of voting.
During the public hearing and consideration of the requests for rezoning, planned unit
development/conditional use permit and preliminary and final plat for the Palmer
property, Mr. Thurmes left the meeting and did not return for the vote. As a result, the
Planning Commission did not have a quorum of the members. A vote was taken with
only two members present in favor of the requests.
Since the meeting, l have consulted with Mark Vierling, City Attomey and we agree that
in order for the vote to be valid, a quorum of the members needed to be present. The
State Statute and the Zoning Ordinance contain language that indicates that the City
Council cannot act on a matter until they have received a recommendation from the
Planning Commission.
Page 106 of 128
I would recommend that we hold a special meeting of the Planning Commission prior to
the July 22, 2014 City Council meeting, if a quorum of the members can be present. If
so, a vote can be taken on the applications and the Planning Commission
recommendation can be valid. The City Council could then act on this recommendation
at their July 22, 2014 meeting as originally planned.

period shall, unless an extension shall have been granted as hereinafter provided,

In such cases, the Council shall forthwith adopt an ordinance repealing the PUD permit
and all PUD approvals and re-establishing the zoning and other ordinance provisions
that would otherwise be applicable. The time limit established by this paragraph may, at
the discretion of the City Council, be extended for not more than one year by ordinance
or resolution duly adopted. (401.06.E.5)
Conditional Use Permit - Lapse of Approval:
Unless the City Council specifically approves a different time when action is officially
taken on the request, the conditional use permit shall become null and void twelve (12)
months after the date of approval, unless the property owner or applicant has
substantially started the construction of any building, structure, addition or alteration, or
use requested as part of the conditional use. An application to extend the approval of a
conditional use permit shall be submitted to the Zoning Administrator not less than thirty
(30) days before the expiration of said approval. (401.03.C.4.a and b)
