The revised plan would eliminate 3 lots, reducing the total lot, to 4, 2 with access to Brown Road and 2 with access to Apple Glen Road. The previous application requested an e.\tension to .Apple Glen and access for 7 lots through Long Lake. Mr. Van Eeckhout is scheduled to meet with the Long Lake Planning Commission on January 9, 2001 to discuss this issue. While a resolution for denial of the subdivision would be made available to the Council at the December 1 8th meeting, the applicant would like to have the opportunity to present the revised proposal to the Orono Planning Commission at their January 17, 2001 meeting. This option would require the Council vote to return the subdivision request to a public Itearing with the Phni’ing Commission. The Orono Planning Commission would have their first opportunity to review the proposal after the Long Lake Planning Commission has had an opportunity to comment on the issue of access. The three primary issues that have been identified throughout the process have been the w etland boundary ’ determination (in November the TEP determined they agreed with the wetland boundaries as identified by Svobota). the number and size of the 4 proposed lots at the north end of the subdi\ ision (applicant proposed to reduce the number of lots from 4 to 2 adjacent to Long Lake) and resolution of the access to the lots (this will be reviewed in January' by Long Lake). The new plan would remove 3 new building sites fro.m the previous proposal ai d only 2 lots would access Apple Glen, r'^ther than 7. This is an opportunity to develop the 20 acre site (14 - acres dry buildable) and protect the environmentally sensitive areas along die Long Lake Creek and L ice Line trail. Any future subdivision of a lot would require an amendment to the Planned Residential Devi lopment (PRD) in addition to meeting the requirements of the Zoning and Subdivision Codes. f Request for Council Action continued Page 2 December 8,2000 #2550 Charles Van Eeckhout ______ 4 Lots vs. 7 Lots The revised plan does not entirely resolve the access issue. Throughout the process it was the intent of the applicant and City to have access for all lots out to Brown Road. However Mr. Van Eeckhout has an easement for “driveway” purposes over an adjacent property, not for road use. The City Attorney has determined the easement to the subject properu (ies) could not be used for road purposes. Therefore, access to Apple Glen is req ’jired. The City of Orono permits only 2 lots to be serv ed by a driveway. More than 2 lots would require a road. One other lot shares the access corridor to Mr. Van Eeckhout ’s property. That property is located adjacent to Brown Road. A total of 3 lots would be utilizing the corridor. The Cit>' of Orono has approved this access irrangement elsewhere when findings were made to justify not building a road. Council Action Requested Motion to refer the revised proposal to the Planning Commission for review of a 4 lot plan with 2 having access to Brown Road South and 2 with access to Apple Glen Road, subject to review by Long Lake. . ste- —— Minnehaha Creek A Watershed Distiict Improving Qtuzlity ofWater, Quality of Life MEMORANDUM Date: November 8,2000 To: Paul Weinberger, City of Orono From: Jim Ha&er, Senior Technician RE: Technical Evaluation Panel Findings of Fact, Van Eeckhout Site ician A Technical Evaluation Panel (TEP) consisting of David Thill (Hennepin Conservation District), Doug Snyder (Board of Water and Soil Resources), and Jim Hafoer (Minnehaha Creek Watershed District) visited the Van Eeckhout site on October 16,2000. Others present were Paul Weinberger (City of Orono) and Barbara Moeller (Minnehaha Creek Watershed District). The soil survey for this site indicates marsh soils, which are almost always found in a wetland. The wetland delineation performed by Svoboda Ecological Services (SES) found some areas to be outside the wetland boundary based on vegetation and a lack of hydrology. The TEP was asked by the City of Orono to confirm fiiose areas. It was reported by SES and the landowner that the site had been drained by ditches for many years. The exact date of ditch construction was not known but estimated to be over fiify years ago. After a field investigation of the site the TEP requested that an aerial photo history be arranged to examine physical changes in the site from ditching or other activities. Wayne Jacobson from SES acquired the necessary photos. Following review of the aerial photos, dating from 1937 to 1997, the TEP concluded this was an altered site. Photos did not show standing water when adjacent wetlands did with some adjacent wetlands getting progressively wetter in time. This is an example of effective draining due to ditching. Deep pits dug to inspect soils and test for hydrology did not have water seeping into them. Upland vegetation was observed to be moving into the reed canary grass. These factors all suggest the removal of hydrology and were a basis for the TEP decision. Based on this decision, the TEP generally agreed to the delineation line. One exception was an area behind the existing house ^^ere a small isolated wetland had been delineated separately from the main wetland. The TEP felt the wetland line could have been extended to the 938 contour line which is the general elevation of the larger wetland basin that has been delineated as wetland and takes in the small 1 asin that does show hydrology in the part of the property east and south of the existing house. The LGU, Minnehaha Creek Watershed District (MCWD), will require wetland buffers that would extend out A ^ T k'arr'iT — 'T t ti r r alt I ' UV kI .*1 v' ■ r f I ^ i . > k-'. »• i\ to that contour as part of the MCWD permitting process for the proposed development of this site. These buffers will also be recorded on the property deed, another MCWD requirement. Therefore, with these requirements, the TEP was comfortable with the delineation line as presented by SES. m it -A WETLAND CONSERVATION ACT TECHNICAL EVALUATION PANEL FINDINGS OF FACT Date: October 24.2000 Countv: HenneDin_____ Project Name/#: VanEeddiout LGU: Minnehaha Creek Watershed District LGU Contact: Tim Hafher____________________ Phone#: (9S2U71-0S90 Location of Project: T117N R23W 03 NWl/4ofNWl/4 Orono Hennepin Townaliip, Range, Secdon, Q(r.

MN 55323 Dear Mr. Weinberger, We are writing to express our opinion on the proposed Creekside Forest development by Mr. Charles Van Eeckhout. We are apa/nsf the use of Apple Glen Road, in the City of Long Lake, for access to the development for the following reasons; • in 1997 Apple Glen Road was reconstructed at a width of 26 ft. as opposed to the 32 ft. width that was originally proposed as part of Long Lake's plan to' have all newly constructed streets be a uniform width. This was because the City of Long Lake determined that because there was a large mature tree along the right of way and appioximately only 14 residences located on Apple Glen Road a narrower street was acceptable. An addition of 7 lots/ residences would create a 50% increase in the amount of traffic on Apple Glen, which is clearly not what the road was designed for. • Construction traffic created by the 7 proposed residences v/ould surely create excessive wear and tear on the newly constructed Apple Glen Road surface. • We have learned that Mr. Van Eeckhout offered an absurdly low amount of money to acquire a small amount of property from one of his neighbor to the north so that access to the development could be off of South Brown Road, it appears he may have offered such a low price because he didn't want the street to go by his front yard in the first place. He would rather have all of the traffic created by the new homeowners driving by the front yards of 14 or so other residences on someone else ’s street (i.e. Apple Glen). • Apple Glen Road is having a sort of turnover of young families living on It These families have young children and any Increase in the amount of vehicular traffic creates a safety concern for the children playing In the neighborhood. • It is our understanding that when Apple Glen Road was reconstructed in 1997 the City of Long Lake approached the City of Orono about acquiring a small amount of land on the Orono side of the border for the purpose of constructing a cul-de-sac for Apple Glen. City of Orono officials purportedly refused to cooperate with Long Lake's request. It is ironic that this roadway use proposal is now before the City of Orono efter their lack of cooperation regarding the proposed cul-de-sac. Although we are not personally opposed to the proposed Long Leke/Orono merger, many of our neighbors ere because of the aforementioned and other issues involving the City of Orono in which they feel Orono tries to dominate Long Lake. Allowing the use of Apple Glen for this development would greatly increase the antl-Orono sentiment. (over) 6 i •() !0i0'»N t£90 Ui !I9 3153A 30NVA 0002 •I2'>"V Page 2 It Is clear that the best way to allow for the development of the Creekslde Forest tor all • Involved Is for Mr. Van Eeckhout to pursue acquiring property from his neighbor to the north 80 that access to the proposed properties can be via South Brown Road. It Is our understanding that the property owner is willing to entertain legitimate offers from Mr. Van Eeckhout to obtain a portion of the property. This scenario affects by far the least . amount of property owners (2 versus 14). ^ . Thank you for reading our concerns! Sincerely, cLl •I • Charles & Andrea Miner 59 Apple Qlen Road.

Following several preliminary conversations, we asked Mr. VanEeckout to draw up a proposal and make us an offer for the easement he sought. We suggested that said proposal clearly specify the scope of the easement he was seeking and that it be in legally recordable form. Eventually, Mr. VanEeckout submitted a proposal to us. However, the amount of compensation offered, the vague description of the proposed easement, and the inclusion of other unrelated issues in the proposal indicated to us that we were nowhere near to reaching an agreement. We informed Mr. VanEeckout of this fact in a letter which clearly specified the criteria to be met in any future proposal. (Copies of Mr. VanEeckout’s proposal and our responsir'C letter are available upon request.) However, rather than making a realistic offer to obtain an easement through our property, Mr. Van Eeckout chose to switch course and pursue an access through Apple Glen Road in Long Lake. In fact, following receipt of our letter, Mr. VanEeckout has initiated no further discussions with us regarding an easement to his proposed development off of Brown Road, Mr. VanEeckout’s characterization of us as “uncooperative ” is disingenuous and just plain false. As we indicated in our responsive letter, we are more than willing to consider a reasonable proposal for an casement to his proposed development. In fact, we openly acknowledge that we are willing to grant such an easement for reasonable compensation in light of the value of Mr. VanEeckout’s proposed development. However, thus far, Mr. VanEeckout has demonstrated a willingness to proceed only on his terms, at his price, and his schedule. Now that you have a slightly more balanced picture of the situation regarding the issue of access to Mr. VanEeckout’s proposed development, 1 think you are in a position to conclude for yourselves who is being “uncooperative”. Should you have further questions or desire a copy of the documents exchanged please feel free to contact us at 473-8396.

So that 1 might verify that we came away with the same general conclusions I would like to summarize my thoughts on what was discussed (and a couple of things not discussed) Attending were Mayor Jabbore, Ron Morse, Mike Gaffron and Paul Winbergcr and the undesigned. Problems; 1) The City seems to prefer 6 Lots on the 14 acres of “high buildable” rather than the 7 lots in the application. 2) The City has stated a preference to exit the project off Brown Road rather that off Apple Glen Road which seems to be very unpopular with the residents of Apple Glen. The City of Orono is very concerned not to support any actions that would be viewed as offensive by the City of Long Lake that could damage the spirit of cooperation that is currently in place between the two Cities. The City of Orono has the opinion that the present driveway easement is inadequate to serve a seven lot subdivision. The owner of the easement has refused to sign any of 3 separate purchase agreements, to expand the permitted use,that have been submitted to him and even though he promised to do so. He has never made any offers or counteroffers to my purchase offers. 3) It appears that it will be quite difficult to obtain permission from Long Lake to Access Apple Glen Road and access the sewer at the end of Apple Glen. 4) It seems unlikely that all parties will agree to the application in it’s current form and It is important to me and I am sure the others involved that every effort should be make to achieve a result that can be widely supported. I therefore make the following requests of the City council; 1) That the application be tabled so that a proposed modification can be presented to the Planning commission which after their review can be considered by the city council. If the proposed modification is supported by the Planning commission and council I would then agree to modify my application #2500 to be consistent the proposed modification. r ''■f VAN EECKHOUT ENGINEERING SERVICES 120 South Brown Road Long Lake, MN 55356 952-473-0825 2) It is agreed by the applicant that any rights that may have been acquired by the 120 day approval statute will not be asserted during a normal processing period. This is not intended to be an extension of processing time but rather a stay of the exercise of rights that may have been acquired. 3)The proposed modification includes the following differences from the proposed plan; a) reduction of lots from 7 to 4 b) Two lots would enter ofT Apple Glen c) Two lots would enter off the present driveway oft Brown Road d) There would be no public or Private Roads or Public Sewer. The sewer if obtained from Long lake would be utilized with individual service lines. e) The applicant would agree to hold the City harmless should any issues be raised concerning the access from Brown Road. f) The applicaiit will make make an effort to meet with the City of Long Lake residents and other interested parties prior to the matter being considered by the Orono City council. g) Open space and other easements would be limited to an open space easement over the delineated wetland area plus the usual property line utility easements. #h) The City and the applicant would use their best efforts to obtain sewer service fr om Long Lake since it has been concluded that given the environmental sensitivity of the area that central sewer would be in the public interest. c) Should central sewer service not be provided by Long Lake the applicant agrees to use septic systems and should that prove to be unworkable the applicant agrees to access the existing sewer line in Brown Road. Should you not agree with the content of this summary please let me know so we can work on any problems.

Fee Schedule adoption was tabled pending further review. In addition to the Park Fee changes, the proposed 2001 Fee Schedule now incorporates proposed increases in golf course fees requested by the Golf Course Manager this week. I.Residential Park Fee The first Park Dedication Fee entry on page 1 of the Summary Ordinance states: “The City has established by resolution a minimum residential park fee of $3,100 per dwelling unit and a ma.xiraum of $5,300 per acre. This is incorrect. These fees are both per dwelling unit, and the “per acre” was a typo. The maximum should be $5,300 per dwelling unit. This has now been corrected (see Exhibit C). The second issue raised regarding the lesidential fee is the dollar amount and its justification. The $3100-$5300 fees have been in effect for one year per the 2000 Fee Schedule. The Park Fee Ordinance adopted 4-13-98 states that the City will ‘periodically’ establish a minimum and maximum park dedication amount per dwelling unit based on an updated projection of the cost of the City’s park system, and the proportionate share of tliis projected cost to be borne by new dwelling r k'v 2001 Fee Scedule - Park Fees December 14, 2000 Page 2 units in Orono. The initial fee values had been established via Resolution #4063 on 4-13-98 at S2900-4900, and raised via the 2000 fee schedule adoption on 11-22-99 to $3100-5300. Councilmember Flint suggested that updated park cost projections be completed to justify the increase. The old and new projections are attached as Exhibits E and F. Commercial/Industrial Park Fee The second park dedication entry in the 2001 Fee Schedule states: “The City has established by resolution a minimum commercial/industrial park fee of $7,250 per dwelling un it acre and a maximum of $12,250 per dwelling unit acre.” There are two issues here. First, the change from dwelling units to acres is to correct a typo occurring in the 2000 Fee Schedule. Resolution 4064 adopted 4-13-98 established an equivalency of I dwelling unit = 10 employees. This was further refined by Resolution No. 4216 adopted 12-14- 98 which established a further equivalency of 25 employees per acre of commercial industrial zoned land. Therefore, the fee for commercial industrial was established on a per acre basis, at 25/10 or 2.5 times the dwelling unit rate; 2.5 x $2900 = $7250 per acre and 2.5 x $4900 = $12,250 per acre. Councilmember Flint correctly pointed out that the commercial/industrial fee should be increased accordingly when the residential fee is increased. 2.5 x $3100 = $7,750 and 2.5 x $5300 = $13,250. These new values should be adopted for the 2001 commercial/industrial minimum and maximum fees per acre. ni.Golf Course Fees The proposed golf course fee changes appear on pages 5 and 6 of Exhibit C. COUNCIL ACTION REQUESTED 1.Adopt the two attached resolutions revising the park dedication fees for both residential and commercial/industrial lands as noted above. 2. Adopt the 2001 Fee Schedule Ordinance with the revisions noted in this memo. h ll m (jiw /) A RESOLUTION ESTABLISHING MINIMUM AND MAXIMUM PARK DEDICATION AMOUNTS FOR RESIDENTIAL/AGRICULTURAL/MULTIPLE RESIDENTIAL ZONED LAND WHEREAS, the City's general park dedication requirement is 8% of the land being platted or subdivided; and WHEREAS, the City's park dedication ordinance calls for the dedication requirement to be roughly proportional to the projected impact of the proposed development on the City's park system; and WHEREAS, because of the vastly differing land values in Orono, the 8% park dedication requirement could result in park dedication requirements that are either significantly greater than or significantly less than the amount which is roughly proportional to the impact of the proposed development on the City's park system; and WHEREAS, to address the rough proportionality issue, the City will periodically establish both a maximum and minimum park dedication amount per dwelling unit, based on an updated projection of the cost of the City's park system, and the proportionate share of this projected cost to be borne by new dwelling units in Orono; and WHEREAS, the proportionate share of the projected cost of the City's park system to be borne by new dwelling units is an average of $4,200 per household; and WHEREAS, the application of the City's general 8% park dedication requirement would result in those properties with lower values paying less than the $4,200 average, and those properties with higher values paying more than the $4,200 average; and WHEREAS, the establishment of minimum and maximum park dedication fee amounts addresses the need for rough proportionality between the park dedication fee and tlie impact of the development on the park system.

NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the Orono City Council does hereby establish the minimum park dedication amount for commercial/industrial zoned land as $7,750 per acre, and the maximum park dedication amount as $13,250 per acre.

The minimum and maximum dedication requirements for residential property are established based on the proportionate share of the cost of the City's park system to be borne by new residential units. Based on the City's plans and policies regarding parks, open space and trails, staff has determined the proportionate share of the projected cos. of the City's park system to be borne by new residential units is an average of $4,200 per dwelling unit. The calculation of this amount is as follows: 660). tern.

The discussion of the senior housing project has focused on two broad issues: (1) What development is appropriate at this site; and (2) Is the City willing to participate tinanci^y in this project? As the City Council moves ahead with the planning process, the discussion will shift horn concepts to details. This memo outlines some of the key details related to the City’s financial participation and the use of tax increment financing (TIF). This memo docs not deal with the specific dollar amounts of TIF and the City’s participation in the project. These matters will be discussed in a subsequent memo to be provided for the December 18 City Council meeting. The City Council should include the following financial factors in the consideration of the proposed senior housing project. Implications: It is important to remember that City required adjustments to the project have economic implications. The frontage road and landscape buffers add to the project costs. The reduction in number of units eliminates income without a proportionate decrease in expense. These changes affect the financial feasibility of the development. At some point, a project can no longer absorb such alterations. TIF provides the means for the City to invest in the project to achieve these “public” objectives. Need: My initial review of the project suggests that the use of TIF is needed for the proposed project to occur. The key to negotiations will not be if assistance is needed, but rather how much assistance is needed. As the project proceeds, the developer will be required to demonstrate the need for the financial assistance. The statutory test is “but for" the use of TIF the development as proposed would not occur. Use of TIF: The City cannot simply agree to give the developer a portion of the annual tax increment revenue. Tax increment can only be used to pay for statutorily eligible expenses. Typical reimbursable expenses include land, site improvements (grading, landscaping, parking), public improvements, and city utility charges. The increment can also be used to pay interest on the expenses when the developer is paid back over time. This issue becomes more important as the need for financial assistance grows. 2. 3.
