RE: Albertville – Towne Lakes 6and 7Addition
FILE NO: 163.05 – 17.05
BACKGROUND
thth
PaxMar LLC wishes to purchase the Towne Lakes 6and 7Additions. In considering
this acquisition, they are proposing to change the house types and densities within
th
portions of this subdivision. They wish to change out the 6Addition townhomes for
detached single family homes on 37 foot wide lots. They would also wish to extend this
thth
housing pattern along 70Street into the future 7Addition plat area. This change in
housing type and density raises concerns in the following areas:
1.Continuity and compatibility with density and design of the balance of the Towne
Lakes PUD neighborhood. The original PUD was approved withspecific design
standards related to architecture, setbacks, open space, and a master landscape
plan. The applicant is requesting a change from select PUD standards and to be
excluded from the existing Towne Lakes homeowners association.
2.The architectural design of the proposed housing units do not embrace the single
family house design guidelines of Towne Lakes.
3. Lot widths at 37 feet presentconcerns related to side yard separation,garage
domination of the building front, and curb cut separation onto public streets.
4.Each housing unit is intended to have its own street curb cut and driveway.This
presents concerns for spacing, snow storage, and front yard landscaping.
5.The proposed layout requests direct access for 12 lotsonto Linwood Drive. This
street is the local collector street that separates the residential neighborhoods
Agenda Page 3
from commercial land uses to the west. To facilitatethe proposed design, the
existing median on Linwood Drive would need to be shortened.
6.The proposed design will have homes facing the future commercial areas to the
west. This is different than the previous plan which had the house fronts oriented
into the residential neighborhoods.
Due to the aforementioned concerns, City staff did not believe that the proposed concept
would receive positive reception by the Planning Commission and City Council.
However, we did offer them the opportunity to present their concept and housing product
to the Council for feedback prior to submitting a development application and generating
development plans. In considering the concept plan, we offer the following comments.
ORIGINAL TOWNE LAKES PUD
The original PUD application for Towne Lakes was made in 2000 by Contractor Property
Developers Company (CPDC). They wished to pursue a small town neighborhood
concept with civic spaces. Through a master plan, they wanted to create a
neighborhood of unique design, including small lots, condensed development patterns,
public open space, and pedestrian friendly neighborhoods. As part of this layout, the
neighborhoodsprovide lake and wetlandbuffers, homeowner association owned open
spaces, public park, and community building and pool. A master landscape plan was
also provided and approved to establish uniform, attractive streetscape and common
spaces.
The neighborhood design established architectural design guidelines that de-
emphasized garages and required porch-forward house design. In exchange for the
design amenities and higher building design standards, the City approved the following
zoning flexibilities:
1.Lot sizes ranging from 8,575 to 25,407 square feet.
2.Lot widths ranging from 65 to 85 feet.
3.Street setbacks of 15 feet/house and 25 feet/garage face.
4. Side yard setbacks of 5/10 feet and 15 feet between houses.
5.Rear yard setbacks of 25 feet and 45 feet for riparian lots.
The Towne Lakes development to date has fulfilled its design obligations and created an
attractive neighborhood (see photographs).
rdth
The 3and 6Additions included townhome development. The plat layout was
designed for a specific building plan with shared private alleys providing access for each
garage unit. The townhomes did not have direct unit access to public streets.
The Towne Lakes development falls within a single homeowners association for
management of common areas, landscaping, and the community building and pool.
2
Agenda Page 4
CONCEPT PLAN
The concept plan proposes to replace 42 townhomeunits with 35 detached units and
replace 15 single family lotswith 27 detached units. The block approved for townhomes
is approximately 200 feet in depth, between Linwood Drive and Lancaster Way. Per the
applicant’s floor plan, the units are approximately 60 feet deep. In double loading this
block, the applicant is requesting a 22 foot setback between buildings and the street
right-of-way, and the backsof homes will be approximately 30 feet between decks.
The proposed concept plan proposes each house to have direct access to a public
street, with 12 curb cuts onto Linwood Drive. The concept plan illustrates spacing
between driveways/curb cuts to be 10 to 20 feet apart. The spacing between driveways
and the 22 foot front setback limits availableparking both on and off street, limits
available snow storage, and presentstraffic visibility issues if vehicles are parked in the
adjoining driveway.
thth
The extension of the detached units along 70Street is requesteddue to 70Street
being a County road and the anticipation of higher traffic volumes. It should be noted
that single family developments back up to County roads and collector streets in all
th
cities. The pattern of development is demonstrated along 70Street in both Otsego and
Albertville. The Towne Lakes PUD includes a master landscape plan that provides
th
landscaping on the berm along 70Street to provide screening of the single family lots.
BUILDING DESIGN
The applicant has provided front building elevations of the proposed housing units. The
Council can compare this housingdesign to both the approved townhomes and the
photos of the existing Towne Lakes singlefamilyhomes.
HOMEOWNERS ASSOCIATION
With each new addition to the Towne Lakes neighborhood, the City, through its approval
and development contract, has required eachnew addition to be brought into the existing
Towne Lakes homeownersassociationand to be held to the performance standards of
thePUD master plans. This condition was imposed to insure continuity in site design
and architecture. The applicant wishes to be excluded from the Towne Lakes
homeownersassociation.
CONCLUSION
The applicant has not filed any development application. City staff raised a number of
issues with site and building design that may not result in a successful application. To
3
Agenda Page 5
save the applicant the cost of application and plan preparation, we ask for Council
reaction to the proposed concept plan.
If the Council rejectsthe concept plan, the applicant can withdraw from the land
acquisition. If the Councilwishes to further consider the concept plan, it should outline
terms and conditions under which theconcept plan may proceed to assist both the
applicant and staff in further review.

4.PUBLIC FORUM
Tim Reiswig, 11673 E. Laketowne Drive, was present to discuss student busing in the Hunters Pass
and Towne Lakes area. Reiswig stated that he is a member ofthe HOA and is looking for City
support to encourage the STMA School Board to look into busing for STMA open-enrolled children
inthat area.Nafstad reported there are several hundred school children that open enroll into STMA
schools that live in the Towne Lakes and Hunters Pass neighborhoods. Nafstad also stated many
residents have come to the City to see if anything could be done to provide busing to those
neighborhoods.
Hudson wanted to be clear on what was being asked of them. Nafstad replied that the
neighborhoods would like to see the Council encourage expanded bus service to those
neighborhoods. Nafstad also stated he believes much of the traffic congestion at Middle School
West is due to open-enrolled students being dropped off and picked up, and busing options may
alleviate some of the issues at the school. Vetsch stated he would like more detail on the funding
mechanicsregarding busing. Cocking stated that many of the Hunters Pass and Towne Lakes
parents are willing to pay for busing and traffic concerns arewhere the City Council role comes into
play. Hudson stated he is hesitant to ask another entity to take on an initiative without offering a
means to fund it. However, he felt at this point it would be beneficial for all to explore options.

Agenda Page 20
the last loan involving the Fraser Steel expansion and tax increment financing used with it.He
stated the loans usually have a ten year pay back term and an interest rate slightly above the City’s
interest on bonds.
Vetsch inquired if there would be any development application involved. Nafstad replied that the
interested party intends to keep the previous use of the site and possibly some additional uses that
may require a Conditional Use Permit.
Brixius cautioned that the private financing be verified and checked for risk for any party receiving
funds from the Revolving Loan Fund. Nafstad inquired if there is any objection from the Council on
possible use of the fund for development for the site. Cocking stated he would like to see the
property develop. However, with the traffic study being conducted ducted near the property and
possible truck stop, he would be hesitant to approve financial assistance and to find out later that
access to the site is changing. Nafstad clarified that the interested party’s biggest concern is change
to the access of the property. Cocking stated he would rather see the revolving loan funds used to
assist a business than sit idle. Hudson inquired about risk to the City and Brixius replied that a

credit worthiness of anyone using the Revolving Loan Fund.
