Sherry Ekegren, 307 Chalet Drive N.W., is requesting that the Council initiate a project for curb

City Clerk
201 4 s St. SE
Rochester, MN 55904
RE: Public Improvement Project
Dear City Clerk,
I am writing to request that the City consider completing the sidewalk and putting in curb
and gutter on the comer of my property.
I built a small house at 307 Chalet Dr NW two years ago. My lot sits at the end of Chalet
Dr. NW on the corner of Chalet Dr. NW and 3'a Ave. NW. It is my understanding that 3d
Ave NW extends to the end of my side lot and then Leisure Court NW (a private road)
begins. When the home was built a sidewalk was put in facing Chalet Dr. NW and running
the length of the property. The sidewalk abruptly ends with no ramp or slope for bikes,
wheelchairs, strollers, etc. In addition, the corner of the lot slopes down to a drainage pipe
surrounded by weeds. The pavement on Chalet Dr. NW next to the comer is rough with
potholes and water pools there.
My lot was previously undeveloped and until this time I guess no one was concerned
about the appearance of the area. I am unhappy with the corner however and have made
several calls about it since building the house. Most recently I have been advised that I
need to make a written request to you in order to have the situation be farther considered,
thus this letter. I am enclosing pictures of my house, lot, and the corner in question for
your information.
I have noted that other comers in my neighborhood are nicely finished both in terms of a
sloped end to the sidewalk and having a gutter built into the curb rather than having an
exposed drainage pipe. I would like to see a curb around the comer of my lot with a built
in gutter, and the sidewalk finished. I am not asking for curb all the way down the side of
my lot, or for a sidewalk on that side. I'd just like the comer area fixed to be in keeping
with the rest of the neighborhood.
I think that both the appearance and the function of the corner could be greatly enhanced
if these repairs were made. I have seen kids on bikes come down the sidewalk (hill) on
Chalet Dr. NW and ride into the ditch area when the sidewalk abruptly ends. I also feel the
water pooling on the road attracts mosquitoes. I would like to plant shrubs on the side of
my house and finish the yard but I can't really proceed until the corner is improved and
that work is done.
It is difficult to maintain the corner and to curtail the weeds. The exposed drainage pipe is
unattractive. I worry about the kids on their bikes and other people who have need for a
ramp at the end of the sidewalk. I don't like having standing water near the house that
attracts mosquitoes. I would like to have my corner upgraded to be in keeping with the
other comers in the area. I think that would only be fair as I pay taxes just like the other
people in the neighborhood do.
I appreciate your consideration of my request. I know it is probably a minor concern
compared to all the larger issues you must deal with. It's important to me however and I
hope you will be able to help me.
Thank you.
Sincerely,
:14��

N DESCRIPTION: Resolution Awarding the Sale of the City's General Obligation
PREPARED BY:
Revenue Refunding Bonds, Series 2001A
Dale Martinson
At the August 6°i regular meeting, council authorized staff, working with its consultants, to initiate the
sale of revenue refunding bonds in the amount of $8,315,000. The reduction in long term interest rates
created an opportunity for the City to complete a current refunding of our General Obligation Revenue
Bonds of 1992. These existing bonds are callable on December 1, 2001, allowing us to pay them off
completely with proceeds of a new bond issued at a lower interest rate. The resulting savings would be
used to reduce the revenues required from the City's sewer utility that have been used to make the debt
service payments on the 1992 bonds. Depending upon the actual low bid price received on the proposed
bonds, we expect to see savings in annual debt service payments averaging over $73,000 per year, with a
net present value benefit of over $600,000 after issuance costs.
Official statements on these bonds have been published (provided to the council under separate cover)
and both Moody's and Standard & Pours have affixed a triple a (AAA; Aaa, respectively) to the bonds.
The sale of these bonds is expected to be completed by competitive negotiated sale on September 5 b,
prior to the council meeting. A representative of Springsteds will be available to present the bids and
make a recommendation as to the award of sale.
Recommendation:
Pending successful sale, approve attached resolution awarding the sale of the City's $8,315,000 General
Obligation Revenue Refunding Bonds, Series 2001A.

Westinghouse Gas Turbine 251132
Modified Combustion Inspection / I&C Workscope
PREPARED BY:
Wally Schlink, Manager of Power Production
ITEM DESCRIPTION:
8/28/01
The RPU Utility Board approved an upgrade of Cascade Creek Unit 1, a Westinghouse 251132 gas
turbine, on January 30, 2001. The purpose of the upgrade was to convert the machine to burn natural
gas, install pollution control devices and modernize systems to improve the level of reliability.
Cascade Creek Unit 1 is a mid 1970's vintage machine and has served RPU well in 2001 by providing
capacity and energy to meet native load demand, as well as avoiding transmission costs related to the
import of energy. The gas turbine figures prominently in meeting future capacity requirements and the
upgrade work will dramatically improve the economic viability of the unit.
Staff has been working with Siemens Westinghouse, the original equipment manufacture, and Burns
& McDonnell to identify ancillary systems and components that would impact the operational
reliability of the unit. Naturally, with a 25-year-old generating unit we were able to identify several
items that require attention to gain the maximum benefit from the upgrade as well as items that are
required by our environmental permits. The items include additional informational outputs for
emission reporting that are required by our operating permit, an inspection of the combustion
components that are not included in the upgrade but will be directly affected by the upgrade,
consumable parts required for the combustion inspection and miscellaneous changes in the software
and field instruments that supply critical information to the control system
Staff requested that Siemens Westinghouse submit a quotation to perform the additional services that
were identified as important to improve the reliability of the unit. Siemens Westinghouse is the sole
source for this professional service. All work will be incorporated into the upgrade outage and is
contiguous with the work being performed for the original upgrade.
UTILITY BOARD ACTION REQUESTED:
Staff recommends that the Board approve a resolution requesting the Common Council to approve a
purchase order agreement with Siemens Westinghouse for professional services to perform a modified
combustion inspection, to provide the consumables for the inspection and to perform the additional
I&C workscope as defined in the attachments for a total of $174,970.48 plus a 10% contingency to
cover unanticipated repairs when the machine is disassembled, for a total of $192,467.53

Agenda Item # 5 Meeting Date: 8/28/O1
SUBJECT: Disconnect Switch Purchase
Chester Substation Modifications for Transmission Line Q 1 Upgrade
PREPARED BY: Greg Woodworth
Engineering Manager
ITEM DESCRIPTION:
In December 2000 the Board approved an agreement with Excel Energy to upgrade the 16lkV Q1
Transmission Line, which connects Silver Lake and Chester Substations. The agreement stated that
NSP/Excel would pay 1.87 million dollars to RPU and we would upgrade Q1 in order to increase the
capacity of the line. The Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) ordered the upgrade as part of
the NSP-New Centuries Energy merger that formed Excel Energy. NSP paid RPU the 1.87 million on
December 3 1 " of last year.
Modifications to Chester Substation are required as part of the Q1 upgrade. Due to the tight space
requirements at Chester Substation, there are only two manufacturers, G&W and Southern States, who
make a switch that is compact enough to avoid major steel modifications to the existing structure. RPU has
experience with both switches. We have replaced this model G&W switch due to operating problems, high
maintenance costs and safety issues and the design of the switch has not been subsequently updated.
Therefore, the only acceptable manufacturer of the required switch is Southern States.
The Chester upgrade must be completed by May 1, 2002 to interface with the combustion turbine operation
date. The current lead time for Southern States switches is 32 weeks after receipt of the order. 32 weeks
from the next City Council meeting date is April 16, 2002. Staff is therefore requesting expedited sole
source handling of this order in order to avoid additional costs and project delays. We purchased four of
these switches in April, 2000 for the same price.
The cost is $7,128.00 per switch. Seven switches are required for the currently planned design of the
upgrade.
UTILITY BOARD ACTION REQUESTED:
It is recommended that the Board request the Common Council to approve a sole source purchase with
Southern States, Inc. through Electrotech, Inc. for $49,896.00 to provide seven disconnect switches for the
Chester Substation modification for the Q 1 upgrade.

_M DESCRIPTION: Contribution Agreement: Western Walls for Public Improvements
PREPARED By
to Serve Undeveloped Property in Rose Harbor Area, J9749
J. Loehr
On May 7, 2001 a Public Hearing was conducted for the City Council to determine whether or not to
proceed with the following local improvement project:
Proiect No. M1-05, J9749
"Sanitary Sewer Extension to Serve the Rose Harbor Subdivision Area and Public Improvements
to Serve Undeveloped Property Located in the Rose Harbor Subdivision Area."
The Feasibility Report prepared for project J9749 requires that Western Walls enter into an Assessment
Agreement with the City prior to a contract being awarded for project. Western Walls prefers to enter
into a Contribution Agreement with the City rather than an Assessment Agreement to avoid the
accumulated interest charges that occur in the Assessment Agreement format (charges are paid over a
specified period of time with interest charged at 7.5% simple interest).
A separate RCA is submitted to the City Council on September 5, 2001 requesting that a contract for
project J9749 be awarded.
A Contribution Agreement between the City and Western Walls is prepared. The Contribution
Agreement requires that Western Walls make periodic contributions during the course of the project to
the City based on the estimated total charges attributable to their property. At the completion of project
and after the final project quantities and costs are determihed, Western Walls agrees to pay any
additional amounts owed to the City within 30 days of written notice by the City (invoice) of any additional
amount. In the event that contributions made by Western Walls to the City exceeds their actual charges,
then the City will reimburse Western Walls within 30 days of determining the amount of excess
contributions.
Since the execution of the Western Walls Assessment Agreement is required prior to the award of
contract for project J9749, the Public Works Department recommends that the City Council authorize
the Mayor and City Clerk to enter into the Western Walls Assessment Agreement at this time.
COUNCIL ACTION REQUESTED:
1. Adopt a resolution authorizing the Mayor and City Clerk to execute the Contribution Agreement with
Western Walls for project J9749.

the City and Marion Township is finalized. Annexation of the WQPP project area will occur no earlier
than January 1 of the year 5-years after public sanitary sewer project is substantially completed to serve
the area. The property located within the petition area requires annexation prior to the property
connecting to the City sanitary sewer and water systems.
The project is proposed to be funded from sewer and water connection charges (Utility Connection
Agreements), Rochester Public Utility for watermain replacement and oversized watermain, special
assessments to lots within the Western Walls petition area, Sales Tax supported Water Availability
Charges for trunk watermain costs, and Sales Tax revenue appropriated to the Water Quality Protection
Program for rate caps and per lot caps.
Estimated sales tax revenue required to fund this proiect and related WQPP Allowances:
Project Construction Cost and Expenses $ 804,000
Sewer and Water Availability Charge Allowances 94,500
Allowances for Work on Private Property 82,500
Estimated Sales Tax Revenue Required $ 981,000

M DESCRIPTION: Giving Final Approval to the Issuance of Tax Exempt Health Care
PREPARED BY:
Facility Revenue Bonds on Behalf of Mayo Foundation
Dale Martinson
The purpose of this hearing is to consider a proposal from Mayo Foundation that the City issue tax exempt
revenue bonds in an approximate aggregate principal amount of up to $250,000,000 ($250 million). This
hearing was rescheduled and re -noticed to allow them to include additional projects in the list of financed
items. They are requesting final approval at this time.
The requested financing would be used to (a) continue their "Practice Integration Project" (Gonda, and
expansion/remodeling of existing facilities in downtown Rochester); (b) acquisition and construction of a
parking ramp at 3`d Avenue NW and I" Street NW; (c) expansion of the Corporation's steam capacity
facilities at 233 3`d Street NW (RPU/Mayo Project); (d) renovation of and improvements to the
Corporation's buildings on the campus of Saint Marys Hospital, located at 1216 Second Street SW, and
the acquisition and installation of certain equipment and furnishings to be used therein; (e) acquisition
and construction of the Stabile Building, located at 150 Third Street SW, for use as a multipurpose
laboratory, research and administrative facility, and the acquisition and installation of equipment and
furnishings to be used therein; (f) acquisition of and improvements to the multipurpose Mayo Support
Center located on 4100 41st Street NW and the acquisition and installation of equipment and furnishings
to be used therein; (g) acquisition and construction of an administrative office building to be located at the
corner of Second Street SW and Second Avenue SW, and/or acquisition of existing buildings located on
Second Street SW between Broadway and Second Avenue SW that arc not currently owned by the
corporation but in which the Corporation leases office space; (h) acquisition and construction of two family
nedicine clinics to be located on the corner of Woodland Drive SW and Salem Road SW and along Circle
Drive NE between Viola Road NE and 16th Avenue NE, respectively, and the acquisition and installation of
equipment and furnishing to be used therein; and (i) expansion of the Mayo medical waste incinerator
located at 7123 L. C. Drive SW.
If approved at the hearing, these bonds would be considered "limited obligations" of the City. Repayment of
the bonds and any interest on the bonds would be payable solely from the revenue pledged by Mayo
Foundation for repayment. No bondholder could ever require the City to use its taxing powers to repay the
bonds. We have, as in similar previous issues of this type, obtained "issuers" bond counsel, separate from
Mayo's bond counsel to protect the City's interest in this financing.
This issue would also cause the City to exceed the $10 million annual limit on issuance of "bank qualified"
tax exempt debt. The City will therefore require an agreement that would specify reimbursement to the City
for any higher interest costs we might incur for non -bank qualified debt in the issuance of bonds for our own
capital improvements, or for the refunding bonds called for elsewhere on this agenda.
The application is on file with the office of the City Clerk. A representative from Mayo Foundation will be
available at the hearing to address any questions that may be raised.
Recommendation:
Approve the resolution giving final approval to the issuance of $250 million Tax Exempt Health Care bonds.

Chair, Planning and Zoning Committee
Rochester -Olmsted Planning Department
2122 Campus Drive SE, Suite 100
Rochester, MN 55904
Dear Sir or Madam
We are writing in response to the annexationproposal (#01-18) by Rodney
Younge to annex a 54.63 acre parcel along West Circle Drive (CSAH 22) south of 2"d St
SW and to develop this land.
We oppose this planned development for several reasons. Foremost is the
encroachment of the City into the township with multi -family homes and cookie cutter,
small lot, high -density single family homes, which have been pervasive in the city's
expansion in southwest Rochester. Our property, as well as the others in our
neighborhood which abut this proposed annexation, all exist on a minimum of 2.5 acres
per home.
Secondly, this proposal removes the last strip of green space in the corridor
between the Rochester Country Club and points west. This space is densely populated
with a variety of wildlife and there will be significant loss of habitat with any
development of this space.
Thirdly, the proposed annexation is a ploy to skirt the development restrictions in
place in the township, which are in place for good reason. It is not plausible that this
annexation serves the city in any meaningful way, except to allow high density housing
in a rural neighborhood for the single and express purpose of an economic windfall for
Younge development. There is also a projected excess of mid -to -high -end rental
properties within the city.
Fourthly, there is no good access to Circle Drive as has been proven by the dump
trucks entering abruptly into traffic and causing near accidents as well as power
disruption to the neighborhood from such traffic to date. There are already 5 "driveway
like" accesses to this 4 lane county road between 2nd street and Salem Road with another
in development already, and more will certainly make the 4 lane road more dangerous for
all who travel on it.
In summary, we oppose this annexation and hope you send the owner back to the
township to develop this land in accordance with township rules.

Mr. Brent Svenby presented the staff report, dated August 16, 2001, to the Commission.
The staff report is on file at the Rochester -Olmsted Planning Department,
Mr. Svenby stated that a general development plan had not been submitted at this time.
Mr. Burke asked if the applicant would need to submit a grading plan to continue the
filling on the property, once annexed.
Mr. Svenby responded that the applicant should have received a grading plan from the
township, if the applicant was adding fill to the site. He explained that a grading plan
would need to be submitted once the development is proposed on the site.
Ms. Wiesner asked if the filling would be grandfathered in.
Mr. Svenby responded yes.
A person from the audience asked to speak with regard to the request.
Ms. Petersson explained that it was not a public hearing item and that they should attend
the City Council meeting to be heard.
The motion carried 6-0.

Commission shall recommend for approval and the Council shall approve, an application
requesting an amendment to the zoning map if the amendment satisfies the following criteria:
1) The criteria of this subdivision apply to those amendments to the zoning map filed by formal
petition. An amendment need only satisfy one of the following criteria:
a) The area, as presently zoned, is inconsistent with the policies and goals of the
Comprehensive Plan;
b) The area was originally zoned erroneously due to a technical or administrative error;
Page 3 0 •
ZC #01-10 Manor Woods West Central
August 3, 2001 ((�'
c) While both the present and proposed zoning districts are consistent with the Plan, the
proposed district better furthers the policies and goals of the Comprehensive Plan as
found in Chapters 2 and 3 of the Rochester Urban Service Area Land Use Plan, Chapter
3 of the Housing Plan, and Chapter 10 of the ROCOG Long Range Transportation Plan;
or
d) The area has changed or is changing to such a degree that it is in the public interest to
rezone so as to encourage development or redevelopment of the area.
Proposed R-2: The proposed zoning of the property to the R-2 (Low Density
Residential) district is consistent with the land use plan and would serve to better
further the policies and goals of the Comprehensive Plan and Housing Plan. Rezoning
this property would help further the policies and goals found in Chapters 2 and 3 of the
Rochester Urban Service Area Land Use Plan, which encourage developing a range of
densities and development styles. This will also help to further goals and policies
found within Chapter 3 of the Housing Plan.
2) The criteria of this subdivision also apply to those amendments to the zoning map filed by
formal petition. However, an amendment must satisfy all of the following criteria:
a) the permitted uses allowed within the proposed zoning district will be appropriate on the
subject property and compatible with adjacent properties and the neighborhood, and
Proposed R-2: Uses within the R-2 Zoning District would be appropriate on the
property and compatible with adjacent properties. According to the City of
Rochester Zoning Ordinance, the R-2 zoning district is intended to maintain areas
developed with a mixture of residential dwelling types that are of an overall low
density.
b) the proposed amendment does not involve spot zoning. (Spot Zoning involves the
reclassification of a single lot or several small lots to a district which is different than that
assigned to surrounding properties, for reasons inconsistent with the purposes set forth in
this ordinance, the state enabling legislation, or the decisions of courts in this state).
Proposed R-2: Uses within the R-2 district would be appropriate on the subject
property and would be compatible with adjacent properties and the neighborhood.
The R-2 zoning is consistent with the Rochester Urban Service Area Land Use Plan
and would not be considered spot zoning
Staff Recommendation:
The ability to consider the Zone Change and the amendment General Development Plan
concurrently allows the City to consider this development proposal as a package. Based upon the
accompanying General Development Plan for this site and the findings above, Staff recommends
approval to rezone approximately 6.75 acres from the R-1 (Mixed Single Family) to R-2 (Low
Density Residential) zoning district.
Planning Commission Action Required:
The Planning Commission must make a motion to recommend approval or denial of this request.
The Planning Commission must also make findings to support this recommendation. This
recommendation will be forwarded to the City Council and heard at a later public hearing.

MINUTES OF THE NEIGHBORHOOD INFORMATIONAL MEETING
FOR MANORWOODS WEST CENTRAL
ON JULY 26, 2001, 7:00 P.M. AT HARRIET BISHOP ELEMENTARY SCHOOL
In Attendance: See attached attendance list.
Purpose: The purpose of the meeting was to introduce the proposed townhome and single-
family development on the former church site of Manorwoods area to the
neighborhood and to answer questions and document concerns or issues that may
need further investigation or consideration.
General Discussion:
Mr. Ratzloff, representing Bigelow Enterprises, introduced the project and indicated that Mr. Tointon
of McGhie & Betts, Inc., consultant for the proposed project, will make a brief presentation on the
proposed project.
Mr. Ratzloff noted that there were three applications filed with the City. They consist of a zone
change to R-2 to allow for townhomes, an amended general development plan, and a preliminary
plat.
Mr. Tointon gave a brief overview of the project, which, as proposed, will consist of 34 townhome
units and three single-family lots. All of the townhomes are twinplexes that are single story. A copy
of the floor plan and elevation view were circulated among the attendees.
A single public road cul-de-sac to 7th Street NW will serve the project. Primary drainage across the
site is from south to north towards 7th Street NW. The balance is to the south and east into an
existing drainage way. Surface drainage will be funneled to the existing detention basin on the east
side of 43rd Avenue NW, just south of 7th Street NW.
7th Street NW was reconstructed to the standards for a collector roadway.
Each townhome will be platted on an individual lot instead of an envelope around the structure.
There will be a homeowners association with common maintenance. Each homeowner will pay a
monthly association fee.
The townhomes are a "for sale" product and not a "lease project". The density of the townhome area
is 5.0 per/acre. The overall density is 4.8 per/acre.
Process:
Mr. Tointon explained that the zone change and preliminary plat would require public hearings at the
Planning Commission and City Council where as the amended general development plan would be a
review item at the Planning Commission and a hearing at the City Council.
A preliminary plat, amended general development plan, and preliminary drainage map was used as
displays for the presentation.
The following questions and comments were reviewed by the attendees and recorded by Mr. Ratzloff
and verified with the attendees at the conclusion of the meeting. Responses to the questions have
been drafted and follow each question/comment.
Ouestions and Answers:
Question 1: 7th Street NW is a busy roadway. What impact will the proposed development have on
the capacity of 7th Street NW? Why not go through 6th Street NW?
Response 1: 7th Street NW was recently upgraded to a 2-lane collector road, which is designed to
handle 7,000 to 8,000 ADT (average daily traffic). The roadway was designed to State
Aid Standards.
Based on the proposed development, the additional trips per day to 7th Street NW is
251 or approximately 3% of the design capacity of 7th Street NWW,
Recently Manor Park Drive NW was completed and southbound traffic from areas
north of the east -west drainage way have another means to exit Manor Woods without
using 7th Street NW.
Question 2: At times surface water is running over the curb on 7th Street. How will the drainage
from the project effect the ability of 7th Street to handle more drainage?
Response 2: At this time, we are not aware of instances where this has occurred but have contacted
Public Works to try and verify. A complete drainage report will be submitted to the
City on this project.
Question 3: Why townhomes VS. single family? The main reasons for wanting townhomes in this
area are:
Response 3: a. Market demand. Townhomes are a hot seller in the Rochester market. We have had
requests from people in the Manor area to build townhomes as they would like to
remain in this area.
b. The City of Rochester is also making an effort to encourage mixed unit developments
and cluster -type developments. Building townhomes in this area would certainly fit
into the City's vision for mixed development.
Question 4: Outlots were on previous plats for what purpose?
Response 4: The outlots were on older plats that have since been revised and changed for a number
of reasons.
E
Question 5: Will the developer be required to set aside more land for park or pay cash?
Response 5: Historically the City Park & Recreation Department has required cash for the
Manorwoods developments. The City Park & Recreation Department determines
whether or not the developer will be required to donate cash instead of dedicating land.
Question 6: Will there be a buffer zone between rear of homes and townhomes?
Response 6: The Zoning Ordinance does not require a buffer yard around the property boundary.
Due to the distance between the townhome units and the existing single-family
structures, we are of the opinion a buffer yard is not warranted.
Question 7: Are the trees going to be removed from the site?
Response 7. Yes, unfortunately trees will have to be removed from the site. As always, we will
try to preserve and protect all the trees that we can.
Question 8: Townhome owners will be more transient - is this true?
Response 8: Our experience in townhomes do not reflect a more transient owner in townhomes.
We see single-family homeowners move and change address quite often.
Question 9: What are the fees for maintenance in the townhome association?
Response 9: In other similar townhome projects we usually see an association fee of $75.00 per
month, or $150.00 per unit.
Question 10: Will there be a buffer on the end of 6th Street NW?
Response 10. City of Rochester does not require a buffer or any special landscaping for single-family
lots. Since the lots at the end of 6th Street are single-family, the buffer or landscaping
done is up to the owner of those lots.
Question 11: Where does the water go from Lots 1- 6 onto 7th Street?
Response 11: During rainfall, up to a 10-year event, the water from Lots 1-6 will be directed to
catch basins into the existing storm sewer systems. This will occur at the intersection
of West Central Lane and 7th Street NW prior to entering 7th Street NW.
Question 12: Are they building townhomes because of cost?
Response 12: No, as mentioned before, this is market driven.
Question 13: Will Bigelow guarantee that the values of neighborhood homes will not be reduced
because of townhomes?
Response 13: No, historically, townhome developments adjacent to single-family developments do
decrease the values of the single-family homes. The value is dependent on the upkeep
of the single-family homes as well as the townhomes. Southern Woods, for example,
has $200,000 plus houses surrounded by townhomes.
Question 14: Will neighbors be informed when excavating starts; provide packets containing zoning,
house plans, plat, etc., plans, brief summary from McGhie & Betts, Inc.?
Response 14: Yes. Packets will be sent to the neighbors.
Question 15: New culvert on south side of 7th Street - where will the surface water go? people
maintain it will run into houses?
Response 15: Storm water will be directed to 7th Street NW of the final grading of the site.
The water will be picked up by existing storm water system.
Question 16: Why can't we have a park - and where has our money gone for parks in the area?
Response 16: Historically the City Park & Recreation Department has required cash for the Manorwoods
developments. The City Park & Recreation Department determines whether or not the
developer will be required to donate cash instead of dedicating land.
Question 17: Will there be a 4-way stop at Manor Park Drive and 7th Street?
Response 17: Although this intersection is not within the proposed plat, the traffic engineer for the
City of Rochester makes this determination. In speaking to Mr. Charlie Reiter,
Transportation Planner, it is good timing to review the need for a 4-way stop at this
intersection.
Question 18: Will there be a buffer for the rear lot lines for people living on 5th Street?
Response 18: The Zoning Ordinance does not require a buffer yard around the property boundary.
Due to the distance between the townhome units and the existing single-family
structures, we are of the opinion a buffer yard is not warranted.
Question 19: Will there be a concrete flume in the bottom of the drainage ditch on the rear lots of
lots fronting 5th Street?
Response 19: No. The City policy requires a concrete flume only where drainage from 4 or more lots
is collected in a Swale with a grade less than 2%. The grade of the existing drainage
swale is in excess of 2%.
Question 20: Has a forester or someone from DNR completed a tree evaluation?
Response 20: A tree evaluation has not been completed at this time.
Question 21: Wetland investigation - has one been completed?
Response 21: A wetland investigation has been competed and a no loss certificate has been issued.
1170
Question 22: Is there any historical data as to change of value with single-family homes when
townhomes are introduced to the area?
Response 22: It has been our experience that townhomes adjacent to single-family in the proposed
price range has not de -valued the single-family homes.
Question 23: Are there examples of townhome projects that would be similar to the proposed one?
Response 23: Yes, please feel free to visit the Southern Woods Townhomes located near Willow
Creek Golf Course. Turn south on 11 th Avenue and take the first left into Southern
Woods development. You will see single-family homes as well as townhomes.
Question 24: What will happen to the sedimentation basin built about 1.5 years ago on the site?
Response 24: This basin will be removed. A new temporary sedimentation basin will be required
at the southeast corner of the property during construction, but will be removed after
vegetation has been re-established.
Surface water will be directed to the drainage ditch.

Zoning District Amendment #01-10 by Forbrook-Bigelow Development The applicant is
proposing to amend the zoning district from R-1 (Mixed Single Family Residential) to R-2
(Low Density Residential) on approximately 6.75 acres of land located east of Manor Park
Drive north of 516St. NW west of 6"' St. NW and south of 7"St. NW. An amendment to
the Manor Woods West General Development Plan will be considered concurrent with
this application.
AND
Ms. Mitzi A. Baker presented the Zoning District Amendment, Amendment to General
Development Plan, and Preliminary Plat staff reports to the Commission. The staff reports are
on file at the Rochester -Olmsted Planning Department.
Ms. Baker explained that the Commission should only act on the portion of the General
Development Plan labeled as "Site 1 ". She stated that the applicant asked that "Site 2" be
continued to the Commission's September 12, 2001 meeting. Therefore, she indicated that the
Commission would need to make a separate motion to continue the area known as "Site 2" to
Page 5 /
City Planning and Zoning Commission Minutes 7
Hearing Date: August 8, 2001
September 12, 2001. She further explained that the general development plan staff report was
only written with regard to "Site 1".
Ms. Baker stated that the Planning Department received a petition from City Administration late
in the afternoon showing approximately 75 signatures of property owners opposed to the zoning
district amendment.
Ms. Baker stated that a church had been looking at building on the site. However, they decided
to choose a different location.
Mr. Quinn asked why lots with direct access to 7th Street NW would need shared driveways.
Ms. Baker responded that it would be impossible to meet the spacing requirements between
driveways. She explained that the location of the driveways would depend on how it is
designed.
Mr. Burke asked how wide the lots would be.
Ms. Baker responded approximately 48 feet to 35 feet. She explained that the project is an
alternative to doing a townhome development with an envelope lot. She explained that the
development gives people more of an opportunity to own more land and have more
independent use of the property. She stated that envelope lots require a homeowners
association to care for the common land with a lot of restrictions on the use of the land.
Mr. Burke asked what the side yard requirements would be.
Ms. Baker explained that a single family attached would have a side yard of at least 10 feet. In
the R-1 zoning district you can have 6 feet minimum.
Mr. Burke asked what the maximum density would be in the R-1 and R-2 zoning districts.
Ms. Baker deferred the question to McGhie and Betts.
The applicant's representative, Mr. Bill Tointon of McGhie and Betts, addressed the
Commission. He gave a presentation regarding the Zoning District Amendment, General
Development Plan, and Preliminary Plat. Mr. Tointon provided data showing densities
developed in different subdivisions in the City and compared the proposed development to
densities in some existing R-1 single family subdivisions. His presentation notes are available
at the Rochester -Olmsted Planning Department.
Mr. Tointon stated that a neighborhood meeting was held. He stated that he explained to them
at that time that there were some items that he could not address until reaching the final plat
stage.
Mr. Tointon explained that the density of the proposed development would be similar even if the
envelope style of townhomes would be developed.
Ms. Petersson asked if the homes would be used as rentals.
Mr. Tointon responded no.

Hearing Date: August S, 2001
Mr. Tointon stated that the applicant is in agreement with the five conditions for the general
development plan.
Mr. Gerry Werven, of 3707 7`" Street NW, Rochester MN, addressed the Commission. He
stated that the neighborhood feels that, if the Commission approved the zoning district
amendment, it would constitute spot zoning.
Mr. Werven stated that the following developments that were approved were not consistent with
the R-1 zoning district.
Elton Ridge Townhome Development
Century Hills Development
Salem Sound Development
Mr. Werven explained that there is nothing new occurring in community that necessitates
changing the zoning. Therefore, he is in strong opposition of the request.
Mr. Werven suggested that the development would add congestion to the community. He
suggested that the development should occur closer to businesses.
Mr. Burke stated that three blocks from the proposed development there is an area zoned R-3.
He questioned if there had been any concerns with that area.
Mr. Werven responded that it did not add congestion to the community and that they have been
good neighbors.
Mr. Robert Kostinec, of 4335 6"' Street NW, Rochester MN, addressed the Commission. He
stated that some of the owners adjacent to the proposed project met several times. He stated
that when they bought their homes, they were under the understanding that a church would be
located on the site. He indicated that they checked the surrounding zoning and asked what kind
of development was being proposed in the area.
Mr. Kostinec stated that it would not make sense to place townhomes in the middle of single
family homes. He stated that, if the zoning district amendment were approved, the Commission
would be setting precedence, as it would be spot zoning.
Ms. Wiesner asked what year Mr. Kostinec purchased his home.
Mr. Kostinec responded three years ago. He stated that the notification process to notify
property owners has changed in the last three years. He stated that the reason why it changed
is so that people could voice their concerns and be heard.
Ms. Wiesner asked when the Rochester Land Development Manual was revised to remove
townhome development from the R-1 zoning district.
Ms. Baker responded she thought it was in 1999. She explained that, up to 1999, townhome
developments were outright permitted in the R-1 zoning district.
Ms. Wiesner explained that the proposed development could have been constructed when he
purchased his home.

Mr. Kostinec explained that they were told that a church owned the property and would be built
there.
Mr. Darren Knoepke, of 4407 6'h Street NW, Rochester MN, addressed the Commission. He
stated that, when he built his home, he was told by the realtor and builder that the parcel was
unbuildable and in the wetlands. He explained that they assured him that nothing would be built
on it. He expressed concern regarding water running off the development into the property on
7`h Street.
Mr. Knoepke stated that Bigelow has been cashing in the parkland instead of putting in parks.
He questioned why the area had no parks.
Ms. Petersson stated that the Park Department makes the recommendations.
Ms. Rivas asked if he made any considerations about acquiring the property.
Mr. Knoepke stated that he asked about it. However, he never got past the realtor.
Ms. Petersson asked what his main objection was to the townhome development.
Mr. Knoepke responded that he wanted it to be a single family development.
Ms. Petersson stated that they would be single family units.
Mr. Knoepke stated that they could be rented out.
Ms. Petersson responded that anyone can rent out his or her home. She asked who told him
that the parcel could never be built on.
Mr. Knoepke responded Mike Paradise of Bigelow Enterprises.
Mr. Knoepke stated that the houses on the north side of 5 h Street were assured that the trees
would be left for buffering.
Ms. Baker informed the Commission and Audience that, due to a computer glitch, the audio of
the meeting was being broadcasted live on cable.
Mr. Pat Fitzgerald, of 4639 Manor Park Drive, Rochester MN, addressed the Commission. He
questioned if the Commission had a petition from the neighbors.
The Commission replied yes.
Mr. Fitzgerald stated that the neighbors are strongly against rezoning the parcel as it would
constitute spot zoning. He indicated that the surrounding area is entirely zoned R-1.
Mr. Fitzgerald stated that, when he built his home in 1999, he was informed that a church
owned the property. He expressed concern with runoff from the concrete and tearing down
trees. He strongly urged the Commission to leave the property zoned R-1.

Hearing Date: August 8, 2001
Mr. Jim Hartzler, of 4603 Manor Park Drive NW, Rochester MN, addressed the Commission.
He expressed concern that the development would lower the value of his property. He stated
that the minutes of the neighborhood meeting stated, in question number 13, that "adjacent to
single-family developments do decrease the values of the single-family homes..."
Mr. Tointon stated that it was a typographical error in the minutes.
Mr. Hartzler stated that the developer mentioned the cost of the townhomes at the meeting.
However, it is not reflected in the minutes. He indicated that he would like them to put it in
writing.
Ms. Wiesner asked why he needed it in writing.
Mr. Hartzler responded that the'developer is leaving themselves an out for putting in lower cost
housing, which would devalue houses adjacent to the parcel.
Mr. Wheeler stated that there is no evidence that townhome developments adjacent to existing
single family homes devalue the property. He explained that the trip generation data shows that
townhomes have lower trip generations. He further explained that national and local studies
have shown no impact on adjacent property owners.
Mr. Hartzler stated that the smaller households would not include as many children. He
indicated that he would like the families that would be moving there to have children.
Ms. Petersson stated that people move constantly.
Mr. Larry Brown, of 4633 Manor Park Drive NW, Rochester MN, addressed the Commission.
He thanked the people who had spoken about researching the project. He explained that, when
he built his home, he was told that the parcel in question was owned by a church. However, he
thought that the worst case scenario would be that homes would be built there like his own. He
expressed dissatisfaction with not knowing earlier, as he only moved in one year ago.
Ms. Lane, of 4501 7"' Street NW, Rochester MN, addressed the Commission. She stated that
she purchased her home in January. She indicated that she asked the realtor at that time who
owned the property and what the plans were. The realtor explained that a church owned it and
that, if homeowners were going to build there, it would have already happened. Therefore, she
purchased the home.
Ms. Lane stated that she knows people that live in townhomes. She explained that they live in
townhomes so they do not have to be around children. She also expressed concern with traffic
on 7"' Street.
Mr. Harvey Ratzloff, of 4402 6"' Street NW, Rochester MN, addressed the Commission. He
apologized for the typographical error in the minutes regarding decreasing the value of homes.
He explained that he hand -delivered letters regarding the potential price of the townhomes two
days before the neighborhood meeting. However, he ran out before reaching all the neighbors.
He indicated that there were copies at the neighborhood meeting. He explained that he lost his
original in the computer and asked that anyone in the audience that had a copy please give it to
him to make additional copies.

Hearing Date: August 8, 2001
Mr. Ratzloff stated that Mr. Bigelow was out of town and could not make the meeting. He stated
that he spoke with him about the neighbor's concerns. They came to the conclusion that the
buffer homes on the side lots of the existing single family homes would be important and
beneficial. The people who would be purchasing those lots would be aware that next to them
would be attached housing.
Mr. Ratzloff explained that they can control landscaping. He stated that landscaping and snow
removal would be maintained through the association. He stated that they would try to save as
many trees as possible: He further explained that any amount of trees that would be taken
down would change the skyline for people.
Mr. Quinn asked if some trees would have been taken out even if the church built there.
Mr. Ratzloff responded yes. He stated that some of adjacent property owners had permission to
use some of the property for their own use, through permission of the church.
Mr. Ratzloff stated that it is his opinion that the development is the best use for that area.
Mr. Burke asked what the approximate cost would be.
Mr. Ratzloff responded $130,000 to $190,000.
Mr. Robert Hansen, of 4615 Manor Park Drive NW, Rochester MN, addressed the Commission.
He stated that his property is on the west side of the development. He explained that the only
buffer they would have is if they put up a fence or leave a few trees. He stated that his house
would lose value on the house as it is on top of the hill.
Mr. Gerry Werven, of 3707 7t" Street NW, Rochester MN, addressed the Commission. He
explained that, when he was a Commissioner, he heard similar proposals. He stated that the
Commissioners always told people that they should have researched the area and found out
what could occur. He explained that the neighborhood did their homework. He stated that, by
changing the zoning district, they penalize the property owners. He stated that a terrible
precedent would be set for future development if people do their research and yet the zoning
next to them changes.
Mr. Mike Ranfranz, of 4415 6" Street NW, Rochester MN, addressed the Commission. He
stated that the request does constitute spot zoning. He questioned why Mr. Bigelow does not
attend any of the meetings with the neighbors. He expressed dissatisfaction with how the
neighbors are being funneled through other people.
Mr. Robert Kostinec, of 4335 6 h Street NW, Rochester MN, addressed the Commission. He
stated that the City wants to do mixed developments. He stated that there is land to the west
that is better suited for that type of development.
Mr. Larry Brown, of 4633 Manor Park Drive NW, Rochester MN, addressed the Commission.
He asked if there is any evidence by the applicant that it would not reduce the value of the
adjacent property owners.
Mr. Wheeler stated that the studies he has seen are studies of different styles of affordable
housing built near existing single family residential areas. He described all the different studies
that he has seen. He explained that the people doing the studies were unable to find any

evidence showing that these types of housing consistently result in decreasing property values
in adjacent neighborhoods.
Ms. Wiesner stated that the Sunnydale development brought similar concerns from neighbors.
She explained that some neighbors hired someone to appraise their home to see if it would
decrease it. She indicated that it did not.
Ms. Petersson invited the audience to listen to the discussion item regarding a Comprehensive
Plan Amendment Addressing Affordable Housing and Diversity towards the end of the meeting.
Mr. Brown asked Mr. Wheeler if he could receive copies of the studies he referred to.
Mr. Wheeler responded yes and asked him to call him.
With no one else wishing to be heard, Ms. Petersson closed all three public hearings.
Mr. Staver moved to recommend approval of Zoning District Amendment#01-111'by

motloW? e,
Ms. Rivas stated that, since it will still be single family housing with a slightly higher density, it
does not constitute spot zoning.
Mr. Burke stated that he has developed and built townhomes. He explained that he has heard
the same type of concerns from other neighborhoods. However, after the project had been
completed, the neighbors have expressed approval of the development as it had been an asset
and compatible with the area.

Subject: WE OPPOSE PROPOSED R-1/R2 MANOR WOODS REZONINGIII
Your office is in receipt of a proposal for R-1 to R2 rezoning of about 6.75 acres located along the South
side of 7th St., NW, East of Manor Park Dr., NW, and West of 6th St., NW.
Asides of the multitude of reasons the City should argue to dispute a change of this nature, we
oppose this proposal on the grounds that it constitutes Spot Zoning, as it is a relatively small
amount of land completely and immediately enclosed by R-1 properties (single family housing) -on
all sides. In our view, approving such change would contradict City Ordinances, as none of the
criteria to approve it ( (a) prior inaccurate zoning tbereby requiring a rezoning to correct it; (4)
change is consistent with existing zoning; or (c) proposed change is in the public interest)
If approved, this rezoning is bound to alter the quality of life that the proprietors already settled there
chose when buying their properties based on the present R-1 zoning of the ENTIRE neighborhood.
Further, allowing spot zoning in the Manor Woods neighborhood now could set a dangerous precedent
for similar interested zoning change proposals in the future.
We respectfully, but ip the firmest terms possible ask that the request for rezoning, from R 1 to R
2 be denied at the meetings of August 8th, and September 5th We trust that the interests of the
citizens in the Manor Woods area and those of the City at large will be looked after by you
disallowing of this proposed change

TO: City Planning and Zoning Commission
FROM: Mitzi A. Baker, Senior Planner
DATE: August 2, 2001
RE: Amendment to General Development Plan #92, known as Manor
Woods West, by Forbrook-Bigelow Development. The applicant proposes
to amend the approved Plan to add roadways and single family lots west of
Manor Ridge Drive NW and south of 7th St. NW where development had not
previously been proposed. The applicant is also proposing to amend the
plan to identify a cul-de-sac and lots for residential development in the R-2
(Low Density Residential) zoning district to be located east of Manor Park
Drive, north of 5th St. NW, west of 6th St. NW and south of 7th St. NW in an
area previously proposed for a church development. A zoning district
amendment and preliminary plats will be considered concurrent with this
application.
NOTE: The application to amend the General Development Plan (GDP) includes two
geographic areas. One area is located east of Manor Park Drive (Site #1) and is also
the site of Preliminary Plat #01-28 Manor Woods West Central Subdivision. The
other area (Site #2) is located west of Manor Ridge Drive and is the site of Preliminary
< Plat #01-29 Manor Woods North First Subdivision.
The applicant has requested that the request to amend the GDP for the area located
west of Manor Ridge Drive (Site #2), and the associated preliminary plat #01-29, be
continued to September 12, 2001. Since continuation of Site #2 was requested by the
applicant, this GDP report only addresses the proposed amendment to Site #1 the area
lying east of Manor Park Drive NW,

General Development Plan
August 2, 2001
Rochester, MN 55904
Size and Location:
The property is located south of 7`h St. NW, between
Manor Park Drive NW and 43rd Ave. NW and includes
approximately 7.51 acres of land.
Existing Land Use:
The site is presently undeveloped.
Proposed Use:
A Zoning District Amendment, to the R-2 (Low
Density Residential District) is being considered
concurrent with this application. The applicant is
proposing to develop this portion of the GDP with
single family attached homes. Three lots are
proposed for single family homes in the R-1 district.
Land Use Plan:
The Rochester Urban Service Area Land Use Plan
designates this property as suitable for "low density
residential" types of development.
Zoning:
The property is currently zoned R-1 (Mixed Single
Family Residential) district.
A Zoning District Amendment, to the R-2 (Low
Density Residential District) is being considered
concurrent with this application. The applicant is
proposing to develop this portion of the GDP with
single family attached homes. Three lots are
proposed for single family homes in the R-1 district.
Streets: The applicant is proposing a new public roadway from
7`h St. NW, that would be a cul-de-sac, to serve a
majority of the lots. Nine lots are proposed to have
their only frontage along 7th St., which would provide
them with access. Two single family homes are
proposed to have access from the west and of 6th St.
NW, which is a cul-de-sac.
Sidewalks: Sidewalk will be required on both sides of the
roadways.
Drainage: The General Development Plan identifies existing
topography.
Detailed grading and drainage plans will be required
when the property is platted or developed.
Wetlands: A Wetland delineation and replacement plan for
wetlands along 7d' St. NW, adjacent to this property,
was approved in 1998.
Public Utilities: Services are, or will be, available to serve this
property.

Summary:
A Zoning District amendment (#01-10) and preliminary plat (#01-28, Manor Woods West Central
Subdivision) are being considered concurrent with this GDP amendment.
The applicant is proposing to amend the GDP to identify a cul-de-sac and lots for single family
attached residential development where a church was previously proposed. The church chose to
locate at another site, and will not be pursuing constructing a facility at this location. Amending
the zoning district to the R-2 (low density residential) district would permit the type of housing units
proposed (single family attached). The applicant is proposing to leave three lots zoned R-1, for
single family homes. They include two lots located at the end of the 6th St. NW cul-de-sac and
one lot located west of the existing single family lots west of 43rtl Ct. NW, along 7`h St., that would
remain in the R-1 district.
Staff Suggested Findings and Recommendation:
Paragraph 61.215 of the Rochester Zoning Ordinance and Land Development Manual lists the
criteria for approval of a general development plan (see attached section from the newly adopted
regulations, which became affective May 15, 1999.
Criteria A. The proposed land uses are generally in accord with the adopted Comprehensive
Plan and zoning map, or that the means for reconciling any differences have
been addressed. A GDP may be processed simultaneously with a rezoning or
plan amendment request.
Land uses within the GDP would be consistent with the `low density
residential' land use designation for the property. A Zoning District
amendment is being considered concurrent with this GDP application. If
the zone change to R-2, for a portion of this property is approved, the lot
sizes proposed would be consistent with that zoning district.
Criteria B. The proposed development, including its lot sizes, density, access and circulation
are compatible with the existing and/or permissible future use of adjacent
property.
A Zoning District amendment is being considered concurrent with this GDP
application. If the zone change to R-2, for a portion of this property is
Page 4 • • 1 ` �_
General Development Plan
August 2, 2001
approved, the lot sizes proposed would be consistent with that zoning
district.
Since 718 St. is a "collector" road, access spacing standards will require
shared driveways for the lots with direct access to 76 St. In addition, the
final plat will need to include dedication of controlled access along the 78
St. frontage of Lots 1 and 28 and also along the cul-de-sac roadway a
distance of 35' from the lei St. right-of-way.
Criteria C. The mix of housing is consistent with adopted Land Use and Housing Plans.
The mix of housing is consistent with the adopted Land Use Plan and is
also consistent with the Housing Plan standards for the physical and
social environments of residential neighborhoods.
Criteria D. The proposed plan makes provisions for planned capital improvements and
streets reflected in the City of Rochester's current 6-Year Capital Improvement
Program, adopted Thoroughfare Plan, the ROCOG Long -Range Transportation
Plan, Official Maps, and any other public facilities plans adopted by the City.
Street system improvements required to accommodate proposed land uses and
projected background traffic are compatible with the existing uses and uses
shown in the adopted Land Use Plan for the subject and adjacent properties.
Access this portion of the GDP will be from 7"h St and a proposed new cul-
de-sac.
Since lei St is a "collector" road, access spacing standards will require
shared driveways for the lots with direct access to a St. In addition, the
final plat will need to include dedication of controlled access along the 7m
St. frontage of Lots 1 and 28 and also along the cul-de-sac roadway a
distance of 35' from the Ter St. right-of-way.
Criteria E. On and off -site public facilities are adequate, or will be adequate if the
development is phased in, to serve the properties under consideration and will
provide access to adjoining land in a manner that will allow development of those
adjoining lands in accord with this ordinance.
Street system adequacy shall be based on the street system's ability to
safely accommodate trips from existing and planned land uses on the
existing and proposed street system without creating safety hazards,
generating auto stacking that blocks driveways or intersections, or
disrupting traffic flow on any street, as identified in the traffic impact
report, if required by Section 61.523(C). Capacity from improvements in
the first 3 years of the 6-year CIP shall be included in the assessment of
adequacy.
Since 7" St. is a "collector" road, access spacing standards will
require shared driveways for the lots with direct access to lei St. In
addition, the final plat will need to include dedication of controlled
access along the 7 h St frontage of Lots 1 and 28 and also along the
cul-de-sac roadway a distance of 35' from the lei St. right-of-way.

Amended General Development Plan
July 2001
1.0 Introduction
The Manorwoods West GDP revision proposes to consolidate a general
development plan (GDP) revision and a zoning district amendment to change the
zoning district from R-1 (mixed single family residential) to R-2 (Low Density
Residential District) for site "I" and a General Development Plan (GDP) revision
for Site "2" (See Exhibit A) and the Preliminary Plats for Site 1 and Site 2.
Site #1- Manorwoods West Central (Exhibit "A") was shown on the amended
Manorwoods West General Development Plan as a Gethsemane Lutheran
Brethren Church site. The church has decided to place their building at another
location, leaving approximately 6.75 acres of undeveloped land within the
Manorwoods West GDP. Our site plan shows three single family lots adjacent to
the existing single family residential lots in Manorwoods and 34 lots for twin
home development. (See Exhibit `B") We are also submitting an amendment to
change the zoning district from R-1 to R-2 for the twin home lots at this site, (See
Exhibit "C") and a Preliminary Plat (See Exhibit "D") We are requesting the R-2
Zone which allows for standard zero lot line lots for twin home development
rather than R-lx which would limit our development of twin homes to building
within a pre -defined development area. This flexibility will give both the owners
and the builders the area they need to individualize their homes.
Site #2- The Manorwoods North First site shows 27 single-family lots. (See
Exhibit "D") A petition for annexation from Cascade Township into the City of
Rochester was submitted on June 29, 2001. We are also submitting the
Preliminary Plat for this site. (See Exhibit "E").
CRITERIA FOR APPROVAL OF GDP- SECTION 61.215
In approving a General Development Plan, the Commission and Council will
review the plan for compliance with the criteria for approval listed in Section
61.215 which became effective May 15, 1999. The seven (7) criteria are listed
below and are followed by our responses as to compliance:
_ ® 0/
L
Criteria A:
1) The proposed land uses are generally in accord with the adopted
Comprehensive Plan and Zoning Map, or that the means for reconciling any
differences have been addressed. A GDP may be processed simultaneously with a
rezoning or plan amendment request.
The proposed uses of Site 1 and Site 2 will be consistent with the proposed land
use of low -density residential use.
2) The proposed development, including its lot sizes, density, access and
circulation are compatible with the existing and/or permissible future use of
adjacent property.
The proposed low -density residential uses will be compatible with the adjacent
residential lots in size and density. Two of the four proposed public streets will
directly tie into 2 h Street N. W. eliminating or reducing any additional stress on
interior residential streets within the existing development. The other two streets
will directly tie into Manor Ridge Drive N. W. and then onto 7rh Street.
3) The mix of housing is consistent with adopted Land Use and Housing Plans.
The proposed mix of single-family lots and low -density twin home lots is
consistent with the adopted Land Use and Housing Plans.
4) The proposed plan makes provisions for planned capital improvements and
streets reflected in the City of Rochester's current 6-year Capital Improvement
Program, adopted Thoroughfare Plan, the ROCOG Long -Range Transportation
Plan, Official Maps, and any other public facilities plans adopted by the City.
Street system improvements required to accommodate proposed land uses and
projected background traffic are compatible with the existing uses and uses shown
in the adopted Land Use Plan for the subject and adjacent properties.
No planned capital improvements are required for this development.
5) On and off -site public facilities are adequate, or will be adequate if the
development is phased in, to serve the properties under consideration and will
provide access to adjoining land in a manner that will allow development of those
adjoining lands in accord with this ordinance.
a) The proposed street pattern is appropriate to serve the property under
consideration. Careful consideration was given to the location of the public
street access points along 7rh Street N. W. We have worked with planning
staff and public work staff to address any traffic concerns that might arise.
Mr. Charlie Reiter, Planning Department, has informed us that we would not
r.
10�2
need to complete a Rezoning Traffic Analysis or Traffic Impact Report for the
project. (See attached letter)
b) Adequate walermain and sanitary sewer are currently available to serve these
sites. Electric service and natural gas are planning the necessary extensions to
serve the project. (See the Preliminary Plats for Site 1 and Site 2 to find exact
location, size and connections for all planned utility connections)
6) The drainage, erosion, and construction in the area can be handled through
normal engineering and construction practices, or that at the time of land
subdivision, a more detailed investigation of these matters will be provided to
solve unusual problems that have been identified.
There are no unusual problems with erosion, drainage, or construction associated
with this project. On -site sedimentation and storm water detention basins will be
constructed in accordance with normal engineering practices. The
site/grading/utility plan will specifically identify the necessary improvements.
The construction plans will detail the temporary erosion control measures that
will be taken to prevent erosion during construction.
There was a concern about potential wetlands in the West Central Site. Lenore
Marken, our Weltand Specialist and Coordinator visited the site and determined
that there are no wetlands in this area.
7) The lot, block, and street layout for all development and the lot density for
residential development are consistent with the subdivision design standards
contained in Section 64.100 and compatible with existing and planned
development of adjacent parcels.
These sites will be platted and the lot, block and street pattern will be consistent
with the subdivision design principals of Article 64.100 of the Code.

Proposed Development:
district. A zone change petition and amendment to
the approved General Development Plan are being
considered concurrent with this Plat. The applicant is
proposing to re -zone 6.75 acres to the R-2 district to
allow for single family attached development. Three
lots are proposed for single family homes in the R-1
district.
See above.
This plat consists of 7.51 acres to be subdivided into
37 lots.
Streets: The plat proposes a new public roadway from 7s' St.
NW that would be a cul-de-sac to serve a majority of
the lots. Nine lots are proposed to have their only
frontage along 71h St., which would provide them with
access. Two single family homes are proposed to
have access from the west end of 6 h St. NW, which
is a cul-de-sac.
Since 71h St. is a "collector' road, access spacing
standards will require shared driveways for the lots
with direct access to 7`h St. In addition, the final plat
will need to include dedication of controlled access
along the 7 h St, frontage of Lots 1 and 28 and also
along the cul-de-sac roadway, adjacent to Lots 1 and
28, a distance of 35' from the 7 h St. right-of-way.
Utilities: Utilities will be extended from 71h St. and also from
Manor Woods West Ninth Subdivision.
Sidewalks: In accordance with current City policy, sidewalk is
required along the both sides of the roadways within
the Plat.
Drainage: This property generally drains to the east. A
Voluntary Storm Water Management fee will apply to
any areas of this subdivision that, when graded, do
not drain to an approved private detention facility.
Wetlands: A Wetland delineation and replacement plan for
wetlands along 71h St. NW, adjacent to this property,
was approved in 1998.
Spillover Parking: The spillover parking requirements for this
development would be approximately 30 parking
spaces. Narrow lots and frequent driveways may
create difficulties in meeting this requirement.
Individual driveways may also provide some space for
spillovertguest parking, however. This requirement
may need to be evaluated further at the time the lots
are developed.

August 2, 2001
Parkland Dedication:
General Development Plan:
Parkland dedication requirements for this
development need to be satisfied via cash dedication
in lieu of land.
This property is included in the Manor Woods West
General Development Plan. An amendment to the
GDP is being considered concurrent with this
preliminary plat.
Staff Review and Recommendation:
The Planning staff has reviewed this preliminary plat request under the provisions of LDM
Sections 61.225 (effective 51151199). Staff recommends the following modifications or conditions:
1. The Final Plat shall include:
• Controlled access along the entire 7m Street frontage of Lots 1 and 28, and also along

right-of-way;
• The 15' utility easement located between Lots14, 15 and 16 shall be widened to 20 feet;
• The utility easement shown along the north side of Lot 15 shall be widened to
accommodate relocation of the existing fire hydrant at the end of eh St, NW;
• A revised roadway name, to be approved by the Planning Department Addressing staff.

management, pedestrian facilities, right-of-way dedication, and contributions for public
infrastructure needed to serve this property.
S. Lots with direct access to 7u St NW shall have shared driveways, meeting the access spacing
standards of the Rochester Zoning Ordinance and Land Development Manual.
REMINDER TO APPLICANT:
• Prior to development, the property owner will need to execute a City Owner Contract for

Diamond Ridge Commercial Park
August 28, 2001
Zoning:
The property is zoned M-1 (Mixed Commercial —
Industrial) district on the City of Rochester Zoning Map.
Proposed Development:
This development consists of approximately 25 acres of
land to be subdivided into 7 lots for commercial
development.
Roadways:
This plat proposes to dedicate right-of-way for the
continuation of "38"' Avenue NW" into a cul-de-sac,
labeled as "Diamond Ridge Commercial Court NW".
This roadway is designed with a 56' right-of-way until
the portion that is adjacent to the right-of-way of Trunk
Highway 14, the right-of-way is reduced to 44 feet.
The Planning Department — GIS staff recommend the
following revisions:
a. The roadway name "Diamond Ridge Commercial"
Court NW is too long. The roadway name will need
to be changed to something with fourteen
characters or less. (This does include spacing
between words, but does not include the roadway
type or directional).
b. The roadway type "Court" is incorrect. Change the
roadway type to "Lane" and keep the directional of
NW.
Controlled access is required along the entire frontage
of T.H. 14.
A Traffic Design Analysis may be required to address
impacts at the West Circle Drive and 9t' Street NW
intersection.
Pedestrian Facilities: In accordance with current City policy, a 5 foot wide
concrete sidewalk shall be constructed, by the
developer, concurrent with this development, from the
northeast corner of Lot 5 along the entire south and
westerly frontages of Diamond Ridge Commercial
Court and along the north and easterly frontages
abutting Lots 1 & 2, Block 2. The Owner is also
required to design and construct a crossing, and should
coordinate the location with Public Works.
Drainage: This property currently drains to the north / northwest.
Stormwater Management shall be provided for this
development. A Voluntary Stormwater Management
Fee shall apply to any area of this subdivision that,
when graded, do not drain to an approved private
detention facility.
The construction plans show storm outlets to Lot 1,
Block 1, but no drainage easement or pond is identified
on the plat. The intended use of this lot should be
! •
Page 3 /
Preliminary Plat #01-27
Diamond Ridge Commercial Park
August 3, 2001
clarified.
Grading and drainage plans will need to be approved by
the City Public Works Department prior to the submittal
of the final plat.
Wetlands: Minnesota Statutes now requires that all developments
be reviewed for the presence of wetlands or hydric
soils. The site was studied for wetlands and no
wetlands were found.
Public Utilities: There is an existing 12" high level water main running
along the entire east side of this subdivision. The
existing easement for this water main shall be shown
on the plat. If an easement does not exist in this area,
then it must be added to the plat at this time.
This property is within the High Level Water System
Area, which will provide adequate flows for fire
protection. However, the static water pressures will
range between 99 PSI and 105 PSI and will require
builders to install a pressure -reducing device within
each of the buildings for domestic water use.
A 10' wide utility easement will be needed along the
east lot line of Lot 1, Block 1 and Lots 1 & 2, Block 2.
Spillover Parking: Parking for the development of each lot will be
determined at the time of Site Plan Development
Review.
Parkland Dedication: The property will not be used for residential
development, therefore there are no parkland
dedication requirements.
General Development Plan: This property is included within the Diamond Ridge
General Development Plan, which was most recently
revised in 1998 with the approval of the preliminary plat
for Diamond Ridge 15 Subdivision.
Preliminary Plat Staff Review and Recommendation:
At the time grading and drainage plans are submitted for the property, the plans will need to be
reviewed to determine how the Excavation Activities and Substantial Land Alteration Section of
the Land Development Manual pertains to the proposed grading work.
When development is proposed on the lots, a Site Capacity Calculation will be required to
determine the allowable amount of square footage of floor area. The Site Capacity Calculation
will need to be based on the vegetation and topography of the site in 1991. Some of the lots may
have limited development potential, based on the 1991 topography.
A Traffic Design Analysis may be required to address impacts at the West Circle Drive and 9th
Street NW intersection.

REFERENCE: Preliminary Plat #01-27 by Dewitz Construction to be known as Diamond
Ridge Commercial Park.
Dear Ms. Gamess:
Our review of the referenced preliminary plat is complete and our comments follow:
1. There is an existing 12" high level water main running along the entire east side of this
subdivision. The existing easement for this water main should be shown on the plat (see
reference to it on Diamond Ridge Two final plat), if one does not exist in this area then it
must be added to the plat at this time.
2. This property is within the High Level Water System Area, which will provide adequate
flows for fire protection with this use. The static water pressures however will range between
99 PSI and 105 PSI and will require the builders to install a pressure -reducing device within
each of the buildings for the domestic water use.
3. Minor revisions to the proposed water system layout are required. We have provided the
applicant's engineering firm with these comments.
Please contact us at 507-280-1600 if you have questions.
Very truly yourrss,- 0 .'�J

Ms. Mitzi A. Baker presented the staff report, dated August 3, 2001, to the Commission. The
staff report is on file at the Rochester -Olmsted Planning Department.
Ms. Baker asked that the applicant submit a revised plat at least one week prior to the City
Council meeting.
Ms. Baker suggested rewording Condition Number 1c as follows: "A utility easement must be
provided along the entire east boundary of the plat and shall be of adequate width to
accommodate the existing water main as well as additional utilities." She stated that the revised
condition would address the comments made by RPU Water and RPU Electric regarding the
need for utility easements.
Ms. Wiesner asked how wide "a substantial size" is.
Ms. Baker responded that the wording would be "adequate width to accommodate the existing
water main" as there is an existing water main. She explained that the applicant would need to
speak directly with the agencies regarding the exact width.
Ms. Wiesner asked what type of "crossing" would be constructed in Condition Number 2.
Ms. Baker responded that it would be a pedestrian crossing to get across the road and would
not be an overpass.
Mr. Bob DeWitz, President of Western Walls, addressed the Commission. He stated that an
easement currently exists on the property. He explained that the crossing would only be at the
first two lots.
Mr. Burke asked if he agreed with the staff -suggested conditions.
Mr. DeWitz responded yes.
Ms. Julie Leisen of Western Walls addressed the Commission. She stated that the crossing
would be a pedestrian ramp on each side of the street.
Mr. Kevin Buchs addressed the Commission. He explained that his property was adjacent to
the development. He questioned how the development would proceed. He explained that
excavation had been occurring on the hillside. He expressed concern regarding the potential for
erosion.

Ms. Baker stated that staff did not have a proposed grading plan that would show what the
finished grades would be. She stated that, once the plans were submitted, the erosion control
plan and sediment control plan would be submitted to the City Public Works Department as well.
She suggested that Mr. Buchs contact David Kramer with the City Public Works.
Ms. Petersson asked why excavation and grading was occurring on the property when grading
plans had not been submitted.
Ms. Baker responded that the excavation had begun on the property years ago, before the
property was annexed into the City.
Mr. DeWitz stated that they have been moving sand and rock off of the property for 25 years.

completed in about 3 months.
Sections 61.146, 62.1102 and 62.1105 of the LDM are attached.
Staff Suggested Findings:
If the City Council approves the proposed substantial land alternation, staff recommends
the following findings to Sections 62.1105 and 61.146 of the Rochester Zoning Ordinance &
Land Development Manual:

1) The activity should not result in danger to life or property. The slopes will be designed with a
maximum slope of 3:1. The cut/fill areas are not adjacent to any areas planned parks or
existing residential areas. The grading and drainage plans will need to comply with City
standards and be approved by the Rochester Public Works Department.
2) The grading and drainage plan for this project needs to be approved by the Rochester Public
Works Department and it will document the extent of the work. Noise and dust control will
need to comply with City standards. The area is currently surrounded by vacant undeveloped
land
3) The equipment conducting the grading work on the property will also be the equipment utilized
in grading the roadways in the subdivision. It will not be necessary to truck in fill or haul fill off
of the site, so the truck traffic impact should be minimized on the surrounding roads.
4) The proposed excavation work should not affect air quality or ground and surface water
quality. Part of the grading being done is necessary to create a storm water management
facility.
5) The proposed grading work should not adversely affect the scenic quality of Rochester.
There will not be any steep slopes or exposed rock faces. The natural topography of the area
will be re -graded to provide adequate slopes for dwellings, roads and drainage.
6) The result of the proposed activity will be compatible with existing development and
development anticipated in the future. The finished result of the grading work will allow for
development that is consistent with the land use plan and the approved General Development
Plan for the property.
7) The grading will be confined to the property and should not affect the use and enjoyment of
adjacent properties. The duration of the excavation activity is expected to be completed in
approximately 3 months.
8) The grading activity will only take place during the construction of the roadways and buildings
pads that are planned for the site. The grading is expected to be completed in approximately
3 months.
9) The grading and drainage plan will need to provide the proper restoration and stabilization in
accordance with the adopted codes for the City of Rochester.
10) The grading and drainage plans will need to be reviewed and approved by the City.
Stormwater management will be provided for the development. The grading of these areas
will help provide the adequate drainage for the property.
11) The areas of grading do not contain sinkholes. Two small wetlands are being filled in order to
construct roadways. The applicant has received a replacement plan for the wetlands being
disturbed.
12) The grading work is expected to be completed during the first phase of development, which
should be completed in approximately 3 months. The duration seems appropriate for this
type of activity and the size of the project.
13) The Rochester Public Works Department will need to review and approve the grading and
drainage plan for this work. This plan must accommodate permanent and interim erosion and
sediment control.
Page 5
Ridgeview Manor
August 30, 2001 NY
14) Surety will need to be provided that guarantees the site will be fully restored after the
completion of the excavation activity. This surety can be provided through the owner contract
process for this development. If grading is to happen prior to the Owner Contract, a separate
means of surety will need to be provided.
15) The grading and drainage plan will need to be approved by the Rochester Public Works
Department prior to any grading on the property.
The Planning Staff would suggest the following findings for Section 61.146:

Re: Exemption from Section 62.1101.2 (a) for Ridgeview Manor
Consulting - Civil Engineering
Geotechttical Engineering
Dear Ms. Baker:
Construction Material Testing
Section 62.1101 of the Rochester Land Development Manual and Zoning
Ordinance contains new standards for substantial land alteration projects. The
Landscape Architecture
grading of the Ridgeview Manor will result in exceeding a 10-foot vertical cut and
a 10-foot vertical fill over various portions of the site, primarily in the north part
of the project. This project meets the definition of Section 62.1101.2.a.1 (d) where
the cut/fill involves a grade change of 10-feet or more from the pre-existing
•
grades. The enclosed grading plan indicates the cut and fill areas on the site. The
raw cut volume is approximately 200,000 cubic yards. All excess materials will be
placed on the site. The maximum extreme cut would be approximately 20' and
that would occur on the northern portion of the site. The maximum amount of fill
would be approximately 16' on the eastern part of the site (See grading plan.)
Section 62.1102. LF provides for an exemption provided there are sufficient
findings made as contained in 62.1105. The following are suggested findings in
support of the request:
62.1105(1-15):
1. The activity necessary to grade the portions in excess of 10-foot vertical
cuttfill will not result in unstable slopes or unsafe access. All slopes will
be a maximum of 3:1 and only a small portion of the grading would
involve an excess of a 20-foot cut. The cut/fill areas are not adjacent to a
planned park area or existing residential area.
2. The environmental impacts of grading on this site to adjacent properties
will be minimal because there is vacant land on three sides of the property.
The grading activity that,is,adjac_ent to 50th Avenue NW affects only 810

3. Access to the site will be from 50th Avenue NW & Middlebrook Drive
NW. It will not be necessary to truck in fill or haul fill off of the site, so
that will minimize the impact on the surrounding roads.
4. The additional grading will not adversely affect air quality. The cuttfill is
not near the ground water and grading that is necessary to create the storm
water facility.
5. The natural topography of the area will be re -graded to provide adequate
slopes for single-family dwellings, but the overall scenic quality will be
maintained.
6. The grading is compatible with the proposed adjacent neighborhood
developments.
7. The grading will be confined to the Ridgeview Manor site and will not
duly affect the use and enjoyment of adjacent properties.
8. The grading activity will take place in one phase and will take
approximately 12 weeks. There is only one home in the immediate area
and that is directly across 50th Avenue NW.
9. The grading plan will provide for proper restoration stabilization in
accordance with the codes for the City of Rochester.
10. The grading plan will not result in negative impacts on the drainage
patterns. The site will still drain from the northeast portion of the site to
the southwest into a storm water detention facility.
11. The area of grading does not contain sinkholes, 2 small wetlands will be
filled in order to construct Middlebrook Drive and multigeti--- will occur
as a part of the Weatherstone project.
12. The grading of the site will take place in one phase and will take
approximately 12 weeks. This time frame is appropriate for the size and
location of this activity.
13. Permanent and interim (during construction) erosion/sedimentation control
is provided for in the grading plan. The City has reviewed and approved
the grading plan.
14. A performance and payment bond is required for all work associated with
the construction of the public improvements. This bond will be submitted
with the owner/contractor.
15. The grading activity is not directly associated with the adopted building
code. The standards in the Land Development Manual and on file with
Public Works shall apply to the design standards and construction process.

(Mixed Single Family Residential) district on the City
of Rochester Zoning Map. Upon MN Planning / Office
of Strategic Long Range Planning approval of the
pending Annexation Ordinance, the northerly 7 lots
and Outlot A will also be zoned R-1.
Proposed Development:
This development consists of 29.46 acres of land to
be subdivided into 59 lots for single family dwellings
and 1 outlot. Outlot A will be deeded to the City in the
future and used for temporary sedimentation basins
and a Detention and Sedimentation Pond receiving
the majority of the runoff from the plat.
Streets:
This plat dedicates right-of-way for three new streets.
It also plats the westerly 50 feet of right-of-way for the
existing collector road - 181h Ave. SW or C.R. 147
along the entire east side of the plat.
The new main road and only access off 18" Ave. SW
into the plat is called "Hart Drive SW". It is designed
as a major local street with a 37.34' roadway on a 60'
right-of-way.
The second new roadway Is "Hart Lane SW" located
north from Hart Drive and parallel to 18s' Ave. SW.
This cul-de-sac is 975 feet long and is designed with
a 29.34' roadway on a 50' right-of-way.
The third new street is another cul-de-sac called
"David Lane SW" that is located south of Hart Drive.
It is 721 feet long and is also is designed with a 29.34'
roadway on a 50' wide right-of-way.
The proposed new streets meet the minimum
standards as outlined in the Thoroughfare Plan and
the Land Development Manual.
Sidewalks:
In accordance with current City policy, sidewalk is
required along both sides of all the new city streets in
the subdivision. A 10-foot wide bituminous path is
required along 18th Ave. SW. The plat shows a 12-
foot wide pedestrian facilities easement for this path
parallel to the back lot line of the lots abutting 18'h
Ave. SW. This easement, which will not affect the
measurement of building setbacks, will be dedicated
by separate instrument and referenced as recorded
on the face of the plat. Dedication as an "easement"
for a pedestrian path cannot be done under the
platting law, only "right -of way' for paths can be
dedicated by plat.
Drainage:
The majority of the site will be graded to drain to the
west and then north into Outlot A. Storm sewers in
David Lane & Hart Drive direct stomwater via pipes to
an outlet in the back of Lot 26, Block 1, where the
Page 3
South Park Six
August 29, 2001
stormwater then continues to flow in a surface
drainage swale along the west side of the plat. Storm
sewers in Hart Lane direct runoff to Outlot A via a
pipe day -lighting at the rear of Lots 14 & 16, Block 1.
Wetlands: Minnesota Statutes now require that all developments
be reviewed for the presence of wetlands or hydric
soils. The applicant is responsible for identifying any
present wetlands.
The National Wetland Indicator Map and Olmsted
County Soil Survey were reviewed by staff for this
area and no hydric soils or potential wetlands are
shown to exist.
Public Utilities: Public watermain from the Willow Heights Service
Area will be extended into the site from 18'" Ave. SW
along an easement between Lots 10 & 11, Block 1.
Sanitary sewer will be provided under a City project
connecting this plat to a trunk sewer from the north.
Sewermains will cross Outlot A of the plat and
connect directly into Hart Lane SW at its northern end
and continue along the entire west edge of the plat
down to Hart Dr. SW to serve the remainder of the
plat.
Spillover Parking: The 59 lots in this plat are required to provide 72
,.spillover" parking spaces in addition to the two off-
street parking spaces required for each home.
Spillover spaces can be provided on or off street.
Potential on street parking spaces along only one
side of the over 2100 feet of street in this plat can
easily accommodate the required parking spaces.
Parkland Dedication: A deferred dedication, the timing of which is
determined by the City, of 1.27 acres in the area
identified as a planned 3.8 acre neighborhood park
shown on the GDP is required of MOG LLC the
owner of the south 52 lots in this final plat. The north
7 lots and one outlot in this plat, owned by GP
Development, are required to pay cash in lieu of
parkland in the amount of $1,870. See the attached
memorandum from the Park & Rec. Department
dated 8/22/01.

Design Modification:
The applicant is requesting a design modification or waiver of public facility standards for a plat
according to Section 60.424 (9) to the requirement of Chapter 64 (specifically 64.227) of the
Rochester Zoning Ordinance and Land Development Manual. Section 64.227 requires mid -block
pedestrian connections across any block exceeding 800 feet in length.
Section 64.227 Trail Thoroughfares and Sidewalks:
Trail thoroughfares and sidewalks are a vital element of the City's transportation system —
providing access throughout the City for pedestrians and bicyclists, reducing traffic
congestion, facilitating access to the transit system, and reducing emissions from
automobiles. Unless otherwise exempted by these regulations, all new development shall
provide sidewalk and trail thoroughfare improvements that are consistent with the City's
adopted Thoroughfare and Sidewalk, Bike Path and Pedestrian Facilities Plan.
A. in addition to trails designated in the City's adopted Plans, the City shall require
dedication of trails needed to maintain connectivity between and through
subdivisions under each of the following circumstances, except where unique
topographical conditions make the trails unfeasible:
1. Across any block exceeding 800 feet in length;
2. Between lots on a cul-de-sac or dead end street that abut a collector or arterial
road. No more than one trail shall be required per cul-de-sac; or
3. Across any block exceeding 600 feet in length which abuts a school or park site.
The preliminary plat of "Hart Farm Subdivision" showed a 30' wide outlot between Lot 6, Block
1 and Lot 1, Block 2 for the purpose of providing a pedestrian walkway between Hart Lane SW
over to the future path along 181h Ave. SW. Because the proposed Hart Lane SW exceeded 800
feet in length, (approximately 975"), a mid -block sidewalk or trail is required. At the time of the
%/
Page 6
South Park Six
August 29, 2001
preliminary plat, the applicant questioned the feasibility of constructing the walkway because of
the topography, but agreed to show it on the preliminary plat until it could be more closely
evaluated after a grading plan was completed.
The applicants' consultant has provided information that shows the finished grades in the vicinity
of the walkway would result in grades on the walkway of 20% (see attached excerpt from the
grading plan). The City Public Works Department agrees to granting of the waiver or design
modification due to the topography that drops from a high point along the back of the lots some 10
feet in a distance of only 40 feet.
Staff recommends that the Council approve of the requested design modification and not
require the mid block walkway.
Planning Staff and Recommendation:
The Planning Staff has reviewed the submitted final plat and finds that it is consistent with the
approved preliminary plat, the General Development Plan, and the Development Agreement.
The staff recommends approval of the final plat subject to the following conditions:
1. The requested design modification is approved by a motion of the Council.
2. The applicant(s) provide the City Public Works Department with the pedestrian
easement document for approval before recording. The easement must be recorded
and its entry noted on the face of the final plat document.
3. The easement along the west side of Lots 18 — 26, Block 1 should be identified on the
plat as both a drainage and a utility easement. According to the approved construction
plans, this easement will have a sanitary sewer line located in it, so it must also be a
utility easement and notlust a drainage easement as presently shown on the plat.
4. The applicant(s) agree that the plat will have an impact on the City's need for
neighborhood parkland and that dedication should be handled in the form outlined in
the August 22, 2001 memorandum from the Rochester Park and Recreation Department
attached to this report.
5. The plat will not be signed by the City Clerk or recorded until such time as the north
7.87 acres of the plat has been officially annexed to the City. Annexation will be
officially completed upon receipt of acceptance of the City's ordinance by
representatives of the State of Minnesota.
6. The final plat be revised to show the alias designation name of 18'" Avenue SW as
"County Road 147".

RE: Hart Farms
Land surveying Dear Council Member and Mr. Svenby
Urban -land Planning
On behalf of our client, MOO, LLC, we are respectfully requesting a waiver of
.onsulting - Civil Engineering proposed mid block pedestrian connections between 19th Avenue SW and 18th
Avenue SW in "Hart Farms" as is required by Section 64.227 A.1 of the Land
Geotechnical Engineering Development Manual for the City of Rochester.
Construction Material Testing The waiver is being requested due to topographic considerations as allowed in Section
60.424 (9) and as allowed as an exception in Section 64.227A.1.of the Land
Landscape Architecture Development Manual.
1648 Third Avenue S.E.
Rochester. MN 55904
Tel. 507.289.3919
Fax. 507.289.7333
A plan is enclosed of the lot grading in Block I between 18th and 19th Avenues SW.
You will note from the grading plan that the finished grade in the vicinity of the
proposed mid -block walkway and along 18th Avenue is 20% or a change of grade of
10 feet vertically to 40 feet horizontally.
Therefore, based on the planned finished grades, we do not believe it is possible for a
mid -block walkway to be safely utililized or constructed within appropriate
engineering standards.
Public Works has already recommended approval of waiver. (See attached.)
We therefore are requesting a waiver to the mid -block requirement.
Yours very truly,
McGhiie& Betts, Inc.

Subject: Bike path Waiver
Good Morning Brent:
Public Works has received a request to waive the requirements for a mid
block connect due to topographic restrictions. Public Works has
reviewed
the request and agrees to grant the waiver due to the difference in
elevation from 18th Avenue SW to 19th Avenue SW. According to the
Owner's
consultant the majority of the change in elevation (10 feet) is within
approximately an area of 40 feet from the 18th Avenue right of way.
If you have questions regarding this issue please let me know.

Proposed Development: The applicant is proposing to re -subdivide Lots 1-19,
Block 1 and Lots 1-15, Block 2 of Northern Heights
North Townhomes Third Subdivision to accommodate
modified building styles on the lots.
Roadways: There are no new roadways being dedicated with this
Plat.
The Planning Department Addessing staff provided
the following comments:
Reference to Raechel Place NE is incorrect. This
roadway has been changed to Viola Heights
Drive NE.
As a result of the changing the lots within the
subdivision, any addresses previously established
and distributed to all agencies are now invalid.
New addressing will be required, and distributed
once the plat is recorded.
Pedestrian Facilities: A Development Agreement, including the need for
pedestrian facilities, has been executed for this
property.
Wetlands: Minnesota Statutes now require that all developments
be reviewed for the presence of wetlands or hydric
soils. The Soils Survey does not indicate hydric soils
within this Plat.
Drainage: Grading Plans have been approved by the City Public
Works.
Public Utilities: Utilities are currently available to serve the property,
The water services will need to be reconfigured from
the existing approved construction plans to match the
new unit locations and shown on the as -built
construction plans.
A City -Owner Contract has been executed for this
property
Spillover Parking: As per Section 63.426 of the LDM, all residential
development must provide spillover parking for
service vehicles and visitors. This development
requires 41 spillover parking stalls. It appears as
though the additional parking can be accommodated
on the roadways and most likely within private
driveways, as well.
The Owner should be encouraged to provide unit mail
boxes to limit the loss of on street parking.

191h Street along the frontage of this plat. "Limited
access" was specifically established on the last replat
of this property in 1978. Two 66' wide access
openings are in place. The western opening is located
267' east of the west line of this plat and 7' west of
the east line of Lot 1.
The distance between the permitted access openings
generally meets the guidelines of Section 64.140
ACCESS MANAGEMENT STANDARDS of the LDM,
but no more access points will be allowed to 19s' St.
NW. The existing 30' wide driveway into the Goodin
Plumbing Supply building is situated on the far east
side of the access opening area. The second access
opening is situated 67' west of the east line of the plat
and 24.85' east of the west line of Lot 4 on the
frontage to Lot 4 of the plat. Lots 2 & 3 of the plat
have frontage on 191h St. NW, but have no rights of
access to the roadway because of the access
limitations and the present rules for access
management found in the LDM.
The lots in the plat have adequate frontage as
required by Section 64.113, but some type of joint
access agreement to serve Lots 2 & 3 are needed.
Section 64.147 (3) of the LDM specifically states that
where lots in a proposed subdivision front on an
arterial street, options for designing access to meet
the standards of the "access management standards"
of the ordinance can include the use of cross access
easements.
Drainage: Grading and drainage plans were previously
approved for the development of the new building on
Lot 1 of the plat. Separate grading and drainage plan
approvals will be required at the time of development
on the vacant lots in this plat.
Wetlands: Minnesota Statutes now require that all developments
be reviewed for the presence of wetlands or hydric
soils. The Soils Survey does not indicate hydric soils
within this plat.
Public Utilities: Sanitary sewer and water are available to serve this
property in the 191h St. NW right-of-way. The charges
for these services were paid through the City/Owner
contract for the job. Storm Water Management
Charges were paid for only Lot 1 of this plat and will
have to be determined for Lot2 2 — 4 of this plat.
Sidewalksrrrallways Presently there are no pedestrian facilities in place in
front of this property along 19'h St. NW, a designated
"arterial" street. Construction of a 10' wide
bituminous pedestrian path across the entire frontage
of the plat is required. The owner previously entered

Goodin Company Replat
August 30, 2001
into a Pedestrian Facilities Agreement for the west
340 feet of the plat (now shown as Lot 1) when the
permit for the new building on the site was issued.
Parkland Dedication: This is non-residential land, so no parkland dedication
is required by ordinance.
General Development Plan: There is no approved General Development Plan for
this property. The land has been platted since 1969.
Preliminary Plat:
This plat is a re -subdivision of a portion of Lot 15, Block 1, Replat of a Part of Lot 5 & All of Lot 6.
Block 1. Hendrick's Subdivision. Since there are no new right-of-ways being dedicated, a
preliminary plat was not required before this final plat could be submitted for approval.
Planning Staff and Recommendation:
The Planning Staff has reviewed the submitted final plat and would recommend approval subject
to the following conditions:
1. Revise the plat to show a utility easement for the existing water main that was installed
on this property in 2000 when the new building was erected as noted on the referral

Z The applicant provide to the Public Works Department and the Planning Department

3 of the plat which have access restrictions across their entire frontages. The
driveway easements shall be laid out conforming to the access spacing and
management standards found in Section 64.140 of the Land Development Manual. The
minimum width of the easements should be four feet wider than the acceptable
pavement width of the planned private access drives. The easements, as approved by
the Public Works Department, should be recorded prior to recording of the final plat
and referenced on the face of the final plat document
3. The applicant enter into a Pedestrian Facilities Agreement with the City for the future
construction of a 10' wide bituminous pedestrian path along the 19th St. NW frontage of

4. Prior to construction on any of the vacant lots in this plat, the developer will need to
provide the following:
• Approved grading and drainage plans meeting the storm water management
requirements on site or through voluntary participation in the City's Storm Water
Management Plan and the payment of a storm water management fee.
• Submittal and approval of Site Development Plans prior to development on a lot in the

The Department of Public Works has reviewed the requested application for Final Plat
#01-37 on the Goodin Company Replat property. The following are Public Works
comments on the proposal:
1. Grading & Drainage Plans have previously been approved for the Goodin Co.
building on the proposed Lot 1.
2. Separate Grading and Drainage Plan approval -will be required at the time of
individual lot development. A Storm Water Management fee will be
calculated for each lot at the time of proposed development, for the benefit of
participation in the City's Storm Water Management Plan, if on -site detention
is not provided.
3. Individual lot development will require Site Development Plan approval.
4. Construction of a 10 foot wide bituminous pedestrian path is required along
the entire frontage of 191h St NW, concurrent with development of this
subdivision OR Alternatively, the Owner may request to execute a
Pedestrian Facilities Agreement to address its obligations related to
construction of the required pedestrian path (NOTE: The Owner has
previously executed a Pedestrian Facilities Agreement for what is proposed
as Lot 1, Block 1)
5. The access openings are 66ft wide, but the actual access drives are limited to
a maximum width of 32 feet within the 66 ft access opening.
6. The Owner should provide Public Works and Planning a copy of an ingress /
egress easement for Lots 2 & 3, Block 1, since they have no direct access to
a public street.
Charges/fees applicable to the development of this property were paid through the City -
Owner Contract for J9731, "Sanitary Sewer, Watermain, and Hydrants to Serve the
Goodin Co. Building located on part of Lot 15, Block 1, Replat of part of Lots 5 & 6, Block

=M DESCRIPTION: Annual Review of the Rural Service District Parcels
PREPARED BY:
BrentSven6y,
Planner
August 27, 2001
City Planning and Zoning Commission Recommendation:
The Rochester Code of Ordinances (Number 1466) as amended review of the Urban Rural Service Districts within the
City of Rochester. The Rural Service District classification reduces the city portion of the mill rate to 17% of that for
lands in the Urban Service District. Properties classified as Rural Service District are largely undeveloped and do not
make use of many of the municipal services; therefore, the municipal tax levy on the property is reduced. In order to
qualify for a Rural Service District classification, the property must:
1. be rural in character,
2. not be developed for commercial, industrial, or urban residential purposes
3. be part of a consolidated area five (5) acres in size, and
4. be either unused, or used for agricultural, forest, recreational, or quarrying purposes.
Mr. Staver moved to approve the annual review of Rural Service District parcels as presented by staff.
Mr. Quinn seconded the motion. The motion carried 6-0.
Additions:
There are 11 properties to be added to the Rural Service District. These properties have been annexed since last
year's review, and they meet the above listed criteria. They total approximately 475.72 acres and are found in "List A"
of the attached staff report.
Deletions:
Properties that do not meet the Rural Service District qualification should be added to the Urban Service District. The -
properties to be deleted appear on "List B", "List C" and "List D" of the attached staff report. "List B" includes lands that
were included in 30 plats. "List C" consists of 21 parcels that are less than 5 acres in size. "List D" contains 1
property that is tax exempt.
Planning Department Recommendation:
See attached staff report dated, July 20, 2001.
Council Action Needed:
1. If the Council wishes to designate the lands listed in "List A" of the attached staff report as Rural Service
District, it should instruct the City Attorney to prepare an ordinance for adoption.
2. The Council should vote to suspend the rules and have the second reading of this ordinance on September
5, 2001.
3. If the Council wishes to transfer the parcels listed in "List B", "List C" and "List D" to the Urban Service
District, it should Instruct the City Attorney to prepare a resolution for adoption.

RE: Annual Review of the Rural Service District (RSD)Parcels
ffi
'�`•�y1.`e-yam
The Rochester Code of Ordinances (#1466) requires an annual review of the Urban and
Rural Service property tax districts within the City of Rochester. The City Planning and
Zoning Commission conducts this review and recommends to the Common Council any
changes that may be necessary. The required hearing on additions to the RSD will be
scheduled for September 5, 2001, before the City Council. A 30-day notification is
required for the hearing.
Properties classified as a Rural Service District are largely undeveloped and do not
make use of many of the municipal services; therefore, the municipal tax levy on the
property is reduced. In order to qualify for a RSD classification, a property must:
1. be rural in character;
2. not be developed for commercial, industrial or urban residential purposes;
3. be part of a consolidated area over five (5) acres in size; and
4. be either unused or used for agricultural, forest, recreational, nursery or quarrying
purposes.
Ordinance No. 1635 states that the Common Council may determine that certain platted
pieces of land may remain eligible for RSD status. The Council must determine that
these properties are still rural in character and not developed for urban residential,
commercial or industrial purposes.
Additions to the RSD
List "A" includes the tracts of undeveloped lands annexed into the City since the last
update to the Rural Service District list in 2000 until July 1, 2001.
Deletions from the RSD
List "B" includes those plats that have been recorded in the last year. These lands
should be removed from the RSD and added to the Urban Service District.
