05.b UDC Amendment for Major Subdivision Design Standards - PC Packet 1 | P a g e Date of Meeting: March 3, 2025 To: Chair Loeffler and Members of the Planning Commission From: T.J. Hofer, Consultant City Planner Re: UDC Amendment for Major Subdivision Design Standards City staff have prepared a draft ordinance that would amend a section of the Unified Development Code to address concerns around higher density developments throughout the City. BACKGROUND Staff brought language before the Planning Commission and City Council regarding Village District standards and additional consideration regarding how major subdivisions were developed. The Council directed staff at their December 17, 2024, meeting to proceed with an amendment that would impact all Major Subdivisions in the City rather than focusing specifically on the Village District. At the February 4, 2025, meeting of the Planning Commission staff presented language to amend the Unified Development Code (UDC) to add standards for major subdivisions. Those standards would require buffers from streets and existing dwellings and establish standards for streets, wastewater treatment, stormwater management, and landscaping. The Planning Commission discussed the ordinance and held a public hearing where no comments were made. The Planning Commission directed staff to review the buffers, how the other standards related to the buffers, and asked for additional examples of development patterns. In reviewing the ordinance staff identified that some aspects of the ordinance may be more time- sensitive than others. Staff prepared a separate ordinance that includes standards for streets and stormwater management. If the Planning Commission wishes to continue the discussion on subdivision design, staff believes the Commission should recommend the standards for streets and stormwater to the City Council. Staff have also been in contact recently with the Metropolitan Council Sector Representative to understand how the recently adopted Imagine 2050 policies will impact development and subdivision in the City. 2 | P a g e OVERVIEW OF PROPOSED STANDARDS Ordinance with Buffers The staff report from the February 4, 2025, meeting is attached and includes a full overview of the standards originally proposed as part of the February 4, 2025, meeting. Ordinance without Buffers Staff reviewed the standards and prepared a draft ordinance that would not require buffers. These standards are presented in the attached draft ordinance. (I) Major Subdivisions. Any subdivision that results in four or more lots shall meet or exceed the following: Soils Analysis. A certified septic designer or soils scientist shall complete a review of the soils on the site and categorize all areas as highly suitable for septic systems, moderately suitable for septic systems, or poorly suited for septic systems. Septic Design. Based on the soils analysis, an applicant must identify whether the proposed development will be serviced by individual septic tanks and drain fields, or via a system of individual septic tanks which utilize one or more communal drain fields. All sewage treatment systems shall be in compliance with Washington County Development Code Chapter Four Subsurface Sewage Treatment System Regulations. If individual septic tanks and drain fields can be supported by the available soils and is the chosen methodology to serve the development, all proposed lots must be able to provide primary and secondary drain field sites on each lot (outside of drainage and utility easements), and must meet the minimum lot size standards outlined herein. If individual septic tanks which utilize a communal drain field (or fields) is the chosen methodology to serve the development, then the locations for communal drain fields shall be identified within the areas deemed the most suitable on the site for supporting septic utilities according to the soils analysis. All such areas shall be clearly denoted on provided plan sets. Identification of Preferred Building Pad Locations. Building pad locations, up to the maximum number of units permitted, which preserve natural topography and drainageways, minimize tree loss, protect historic sites or structures, and limit the need for soil removal and/or grading shall be identified. The orientation of individual building sites shall maintain maximum natural topography and ground cover. 3 | P a g e Building pads shall located so as to provide ample room for accessory structures on each proposed lot. If individual septic tanks and drain fields for each lot are to be utilized, locations for primary and secondary facilities for each proposed building pad shall also be identified. All such sites must be verified as being viable as a component of the preliminary plat review. If individual septic tanks utilizing communal drain fields are intended, the plan must clearly identify which communal drain field will service each of the proposed building pads. Reference to the buffers was removed from the Soil Analysis, Septic Design, and Building Pad standards, but the standards are effectively the same. Streets. All lots shall have access from a local street. No access shall be permitted to any lot from a street designated as an arterial or collector. Streets shall be designed and located in such a manner as to: i. Maintain and preserve natural topography, groundcover, significant landmarks, historic barns, and trees; ii. Minimize cut and fill; iii. Preserve and enhance both internal and external views and vistas; iv. Promote road safety; v. Ensure adequate access for fire and rescue vehicles; and vi. Ensure and promote adequate vehicular circulation both within the development and with adjacent neighborhoods. The design of streets and the dedication of right-of-way shall be in compliance with the city's current engineering design standards and specifications as may be amended. Alignments of streets shall be consistent with the Local Roadway Gap Areas map in the adopted Comprehensive Plan and shall be subject to review by the City. The street standards are essentially the same with the language regarding the buffers removed. The previous language required streets to be aligned with the above goals and specified requirements for 90-degree angles with exceptions for current or future access to adjacent properties or boundary roads. Staff have added a section that references the Local Roadway Gap Areas identified in the adopted Comprehensive Plan. The UDC allowed staff to act on this map already to address street locations as they are proposed in the City, but staff believe the added reference is helpful from a UDC user perspective. 4 | P a g e Stormwater Management Subdivisions shall be designed to minimize the number of stormwater management facilities required. Stormwater management facilities shall be located near and be accessible from public right-of-way where practicable. i. Any stormwater management facilities that are not accessible from public right-of-way, must include a narrative describing a management plan. ii. A development agreement may be required anywhere stormwater management facilities are not accessible from public right-of- way All stormwater management facilities including emergency overflow pathways shall be located within drainage and utility easements and shall not promote surface flow outside of its respective easement. Emergency overflows from stormwater management facilities shall be directed away from adjacent properties towards public right-of-way or public drainage systems to the fullest extent practicable. Stormwater treatment standards shall meet or exceed those outlined in the relevant Watershed District stormwater management standards and/or the Minnesota NPDES permit conditions, whichever is more stringent. The removal of the buffers have no impact on the stormwater standards. Staff have amended the language to reference the “relevant Watershed District” rather than a specific district. Additionally, staff added language addressing what must be considered if stormwater management facilities are unable to be located where they are not accessible from public right- of-way. Landscaping and Screening In addition to landscaping requirements for individual lots established in this chapter, the subdivider shall establish a permanent vegetative screening with a depth of at least 20 feet all arterial and collector roads. Landscaping standards without the buffers could remain the same, however, without the buffer area being a separate property from the developable lots, maintenance and management of the screening would be left to private landowners. Staff believe that requiring the additional screening will still be beneficial to provide screening from high-traffic areas, add to the forested areas of a subdivision, and provide noise buffering from higher-traffic roads. Staff would want to ensure that the establishment of the landscaping was the responsibility of the developer and not individual landowners, so additional language may be required. The City Attorney will be consulted regarding the language once the amendment is recommended to the Council. 5 | P a g e Streets and Stormwater Ordinance The draft ordinance that addresses streets and stormwater has been drafted to address the major issues and concerns that were identified in the review of the last plat approved by the City. These standards are the same as the standards discussed above. ANALYSIS Staff Analysis At the February 4, 2025, meeting the Planning Commission discussed the need for buffers or if the buffers should be required from either the street, existing residential structures, or both. Staff noted that the impact of buffers could also be controlled through setbacks. Setbacks for structures are established in 153.200, which is attached to this report. Buffers could be limited so to be only required if a development is proposing lot averaging. Without a benefit for lot averaging this may lead to more traditional subdivision design, which can lead to complications in long term development and planning. Lot averaging is desirable because it preserves more open space, but that also removes land that can be sold by a developer and requires an entity to manage it. The Planning Commission also requested examples of various development patterns. Attached to the report are various subdivisions from nearby communities and within Scandia. Many of the examples do not directly reflect the development potential in Scandia but are meant to give the Commission a sense of scale regarding open space. COMMISSION ACTION The Planning Commission can do one of the following: 1. Recommend approval, with or without conditions, of the attached ordinance and resolutions. 2. Recommend denial, with findings, of the attached ordinance and resolutions. 3. Table the request for further review/study. RECOMMENDATION Staff recommend that the Planning Commission discuss the proposed standards and the intent for development in Scandia. If the Planning Commission wishes to move the ordinance forward, staff recommend the Planning Commission recommend approval of the UDC Amendment to establish 153.400.030 6 | P a g e Subd. 4. Major Subdivision Design Standards attached as Draft Ordinance 2025-YY. The following motion is recommended. Approval includes an ordinance: Motion to recommend the City Council approval of the attached ordinance to amend the Unified Development Code Section 153.400.020 Subd. 3 to establish major subdivision design standards and correct errors in the layout of the document, with the findings and conditions described within the staff report. If the Planning Commission wishes to further discuss lot and subdivision design standards, the Planning Commission may table the ordinance until the April 1, 2025, meeting. If the Planning Commission chooses to do so, staff recommends that the Planning Commission recommend approval of the attached Draft Ordinance 2025-ZZ which establishes the standards for streets and stormwater management for Major Subdivisions. The recommendation can be made with additional amendments to the draft ordinance. Attachments A. Draft Ordinance 2025-XX Establishing Major Subdivision Design Standards (with buffers) B.
