As noted last month,per the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency,this use is subject to Noise Area Classification 1 standards. Thus, all parts of the operation will need to comply with the state decibel standards. If necessary or desired,the City and school could work to identify a time after which the PA system would not be utilized as a good faith gesture to the surrounding neighborhood. This is something that could be addressed within the Development Agreement. Park Dedication Approximately a year ago, the Parks and Recreation Commission discussed park dedication for this property(under the assumption it would eventually develop as a residential neighborhood). At that time,the Parks and Recreation Commission recommended that park dedication be satisfied via land,rather than cash payment, to accommodate an expansion of a flex use field. In May of 2022,the Parks and Recreation Commission reaffirmed this recommendation. The Site Plan and Plat both include a roughly 0.90 acre parcel in the northwest corner of the Subject Property being dedicated as Park in accordance with this recommendation. City Staff further requested plans show a potential future connection between Central Park and the school campus. The intent was to show potential access between the two sites to accommodate shared parking needs for both activities hosted in the park and at the school campus. An agreement may be considered in the future. Stormwater Management(Engineering Staff Comments) The Lower Rum River Watershed Management Organization(LRRWMO)requires developers to meet various minimum stormwater management standards when designing their projects. The development plans and stormwater design calculations are reviewed for conformance by City Staff and the LRRWMO engineer before a stormwater permit is approved for the development. The LRRWMO standards require the provided stormwater treatment facilities to provide at least an annual removal efficiency of sixty percent(60%)phosphorus and at least an annual removal efficiency of ninety percent(90%)total suspended solids. In addition,post-development peak runoff rates shall not exceed existing peak runoff rates for the 2, 10, and 100 year storm peak discharges, and a volume equal to one inch of runoff from all impervious surfaces on the site shall be infiltrated on-site. Stormwater permit applications are submitted to the City and then forwarded to LRRWMO once they substantially meet the requirements. To date, the permit application has not been forwarded to the LRRWMO due to revisions being required. The applicant is working with City Staff to revise the plans. It is anticipated the permit application will be forwarded to LRRWMO in July for consideration at their August meeting. The Planning Commission held a Public Hearing on May 26, 2022. A number of written and verbal comments were received. The primary concerns identified at the Public Hearing relate to traffic, stormwater management, light and noise pollution, and tree preservation. The Planning Commission did close the Public Hearing but tabled action on the Site Plan and Preliminary Plat and provided specific direction to the Applicant regarding reassessing a potential 3rd access, providing more detailed information about noise, and refining the stormwater management plans. The Applicant did meet with several residents on June 16, 2022, to discuss the project in more detail and to discuss concerns that have been raised to date. Staff was not involved in this meeting. The Applicant may wish to provide an update to the City Council on the outcome(s) of that meeting. Alternatives Alternative 1: Adopt Resolution#22-125. Alternative 2: Adopt Resolution#22-125 with additional conditions. Alternative 3: Table Resolution#22-125 with direction to applicant for revisions. Alternative 4: Deny Resolution#22-125 based on certain findings. Funding Source:
