CITY OF SCANDIA, MINNESOTA
PC RESOLUTION NO. 2022-16
PRELIMINARY PLAT FOR A MAJOR SUBDIVISION AND A REZONING OF A
PARCEL TO OS-PUD OVERLAY FOR AN OPEN SPACE CONSERVATION
DEVELOPMENT, LOCATED AT PARCEL ID 30.032.20.22.0004
WHEREAS, Grandemoore Homes, Inc, on behalf and with consent of the property owners
Larry and Kim Reese, has made application for a Preliminary Plat for a Major Subdivision and a
Rezoning of a parcel to OS-PUD Overlay for an Open Space Conservation Development, located
at Parcel ID 30.032.20.22.0004; and
WHEREAS, the property is legally described as follows:
See Attachment A; and
WHEREAS, the Planning Commission reviewed the request at a duly noticed Public
Hearing on December 6, 2022, and recommended that the City Council approve the request with
conditions;
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE PLANNING COMMISSION
OF THE CITY OF SCANDIA, WASHINGTON COUNTY, MINNESOTA, that it should
and hereby does recommend the City Council approve the request for a Preliminary Plat for a
Major Subdivision and a Rezoning of a parcel to OS-PUD Overlay for an Open Space
Conservation Development, located at Parcel ID 30.032.20.22.0004, based on the following
findings:
1. The site is identified as Agricultural Core in the future land use map, which
corresponds to the AG C zoning district. The future land use section of the
comprehensive plan notes that the areas within this designation are meant to preserve
and protect farmlands in the city. As an OS-PUD, portions of the site will remain as
either undeveloped natural areas, or farmland, which is consistent with and caries out
the intent of this future land use.
2. The purpose of the OS-PUD zone is to allow for more flexibility in development
design than is possible under the Base Zoning District and conventional subdivision

processes. The proposal utilizes these allowances to permit additional lots on the site,
while preserving over half of the subject property from development.
3. The proposed development would provide additional lots for residential use in the
city, and can be conducted in one single development phase.
4. The development, with the proposed outlot B being owned and maintained by an
HOA instead of the city, will not create an excessive burden on public facilities or
services.
5. Development on this lot would not prohibit or adversely impact development on
neighboring parcels, or prevent permitted uses or enjoyment of neighboring parcels.
6. Over half of the subject property, as an OS-PUD, is preserved under the proposed
plans, while currently unused areas are utilized for single family residential
development, a common use found throughout this portion of the city.
7. Strict application of the UDC would limit the number of lots on the property, and
would likely result in less land being preserved as open space or maintained as
farmland.
FURTHER BE IT RESOLVED, the following conditions of approval shall be met:
1. The applicant is permitted to create seven lots, as shown on the plans submitted to the
city and reviewed with this request.
2. The parcel shall be rezoned into the OS-PUD special overlay district.
3. The applicant shall acquire any required permits from the watershed district, and comply
with their requirements.
4. The development shall adhere to the requirements of the OS-PUD section of the UDC
5. Outlot B shall be owned by a Homeowner’s Association.
6. The proposed road shall adhere to city requirements.
7. The applicant shall secure any other applicable Federal, State, County, and local permits
required for the project.
8. The applicant shall pay all fees and escrows associated with this application.
