July 10, 2018 Centerville City Council Page 4 of 9 Bay View Villas-Comprehensive Plan Amendment, Rezoning, Planned Unit Development,&Preliminary Plat Planned Unit Development A PUD needs to meet the following standards for a CUP approval: (A) The development shall be planned so that it is consistent with the city comprehensive plan: The PUD will be consistent with the comprehensive plan once a Comprehensive Plan Amendment has been approved through the Metropolitan Council. (B) The PUD is an effective and unified treatment of the development possibilities on the project site and the development plan provides for the preservation of unique natural amenities such as streams, stream banks, wooded cover, rough terrain and similar areas; One of the benefits of a PUD is to provide flexibility in a site plan to preserve natural amenities. While the plan does not meet the specific requirements of the shoreland provisions for setbacks and lot size, it can still meet the intent of the ordinance to preserve the body of water and shoreline. A significant drawback of the proposed preliminary plat is the grading and removal of existing vegetation within 50 feet of the ordinary high water line on Centerville Lake. These changes could not only impact the character of the shoreline, but also have negative consequences on the lake from stormwater runoff. Additionally, units 1,2, and 3 in Block 1 are proposed in a 100-year floodplain but are mitigated through a separation from Centerville Lake's ordinary high water line within 30-75 feet of a flood mitigation zone. Construction of these units will require FEMA approval and vacation of an existing St. Paul Regional Water Services easement. (C) The planned unit development proposal appears to harmonize with both existing and proposed development in the area surrounding the project site; The development proposal is consistent with the single-family residential directly to the east of the property and across Main Street to the north. (D) The tract of land shall be under unified control at the time of application and scheduled to be developed as one unit. In addition, the development plan must include provisions for the preservation of natural amenities; The land is under unified control. The shoreline could be best preserved by designating a swath of land back from Centerville Lake's ordinary high water line for common HOA ownership,which the plat proposes with the 30-foot deep Outlot B. The proposed grading should minimize vegetation removal to protect the character of the current shoreline and future health of the lake from runoff. (E) Each phase of the proposed development, as it is proposed to be completed, is of sufficient size, composition and arrangement that its construction, marketing and operation are feasible as a complete unit, and that provision and construction of dwelling units and common open space are balanced and coordinated; The Block 2 stormwater ponding area is on the north side and Outlot B is on the south (with common lakeshore ownership) and west. (F) The PUD will not create an excessive burden on parks, schools, streets and other public facilities and utilities which serve or are proposed to serve the district; wiih r„ �?rnrnunii,/ in rri'in1
