Date: August 24, 2020
Item: Villas at Pleasant - Rezoning, Preliminary Plat, and Final Plat #2020-36 - Simek Property
Group
Planning Commission Action Requested
Hold a public hearing and review the following actions for development of 32 villa home sites by
Simek Property Group. The 10.38 acre property consists of two parcels located at the northwest
corner of Pleasant Drive and Northridge Drive and currently owned by Lawrence Property, LLC:
1) Rezoning - Rezone entire property from A - Agriculture and R-1 Single Family to R-3
Medium-High Density Residence - Planned Residential Development
2) Preliminary Plat - Creation of 32 villa home sites.
3) Final Plat - Subdivision of the 1st phase of development consisting of 16 lots.
BACKGROUND INFORMATION
Comprehensive Plan
The property is guided Low Density Residential (LDR) within the current 2030 and draft 2040
Comprehensive Plans. LDR includes single family and two family housing with allowable densities
of 2.5-6.0 housing units per net acre and lots sizes of at least 6,000 s.f. The proposed development
plan is consistent with the LDR designation with all lot sizes exceeding 6,000 s.f. and having a net
density of 5.5 units per acre.
Zoning
The western parcel is zoned A - Agriculture and the eastern parcel is zoned R-1 Single Family
Residential. The applicant has requested a rezoning to R-3 - Medium-High Density Residence -
Planned Residential Development.
Existing Condition
The site is generally flat, treeless, and used for agriculture. A small grove of trees exists near the
southwest corner.
Planning Commission Memorandum
Proposed Condition
Development into 32 villa home sites marketed towards senior and empty nesters. The villa
homes would be detached single family homes belonging to an association to provide for grounds
maintenance including landscaping and plowing.
Adjacent Zoning and Land Use

Planning Committee of City Council
The Planning Committee of City Council (Chair Vaughan, Balsanek, and Leifeld) reviewed the
concept plan on April 22, 2020. The Committee generally supported the concept.
Neighborhood Meeting
The developer held a neighborhood meeting via Zoom on June 11. 2020 to discuss the proposal
with surrounding property owners. The neighbors expressed concerns on the proposed rezoning
and the location of the new homes in proximity to existing housing.
Public Notification
Notification of the meeting was sent to all property owners within 350 feet of the proposed
property. The following comments have been received to date:
• Ken and Barb Angerman - 1351 21st Street - Wrong housing, too many homes, values
should match surrounding area.
• Tom and Pam Sullivan - 2443 Rivershore Court - Concerns over density, home values,
appearance, drainage, maintenance, need\marketability.
• Howard & Michelle Nevanen - 1431 Rivershore Drive - This is what we need; impressed by
plans, quality and flexibility of project
The full text of comments is attached.
REZONING REVIEW Request
Rezone property from A - Agriculture and R-1 Single Family Residential to R-3 - Medium-High
Density Residence - Planned Residential Development. The actions serve as an amendment to
Hastings City Code Chapter 155.01 - Official Zoning Map.
R-3 - Medium-High Residential Zoning District
City Code Chapter 155.24 identifies the following uses within the R-3 District:
Uses permitted.
(1) Multiple-family and single-family dwellings when part of a PRD;
(2) Residential care facility, dependent and semi-independent, residential senior facility-
independent, dormitories, public and parochial schools and churches, fire stations,
professional offices, day care center, library, gift or craft shop and similar uses of a
public service nature;
(3) Accessory uses incidental to the foregoing principal uses such as private garages and
sheds;
(4) Home occupations in accordance with § 155.07; and
(5) Planned residential developments pursuant to § 155.07
Uses by special permit.
(1) Neighborhood commercial subject to the requirements of § 155.07.
(2) Towers as regulated by § 155.07.
Planned Residential Development
Multiple-family and single-family development within the R-3 Zoning District must
adhere to the Planned Residential Development (PRD) requirements of City Code
Chapter 155.07, Subd. H, which include:
(1) Variety. Within a comprehensive site design concept, a mixture of land uses,
housing types, and densities;
(2) Sensitivity. Through the departure from the strict application of minimum lot
requirements and other performance standards associated with traditional zoning,
planned residential developments can maximize the development potential of land
while remaining sensitive to its unique and valuable natural characteristics;
(3) Efficiency. The consolidation of areas for recreation and reductions in street lengths
and widths and other utility related expenses; and
(4) Density transfer. The project density may be clustered, basing density on number of
units per acre versus specific lot dimensions.
PRD Analysis - PRD’s are intended to provide flexibility from standard zoning
requirements (such as minimum setback and lot size requirements) in exchange
design innovations. In larger developments, activities can be clustered to allow for
preservation of natural features and open space. Most PRD developments within
the City have contained a variety of residential uses (i.e. single family and townhome)
encompassing larger residential developments.
Application of PRD standards on smaller, single use developments can be
challenging. The developer has creatively designed each home site to incorporate
private courtyards along the side of homes, as opposed to the rear. The design
provides more privacy to both adjacent residences and future homeowners by
limiting rear yard activity.
Analysis
• Rezoning of the property to R-3 is consistent with the Comprehensive Plan, meeting both
minimum lot size and maximum density restrictions.
• Proposed homes are single family detached, similar to surrounding homes, albeit lot sizes
will be smaller.
• Incorporation of the side yard courtyard is an innovative design feature consistent with
the goals of Planned Residential Development. They will provide privacy for both future
and adjacent home owners and limit activities within the rear yards.
RECOMMENDATION - REZONING
Approval of the Rezoning to R-3 Medium-High Residence-Planned Residential Development is
recommended subject to the following condition:
1) Conformance with the plans submitted with the Planning Commission Staff Report dated
August 24, 2020.
PRELIMINARY PLAT REVIEW
Request
Preliminary Plat approval of the Villas at Pleasant containing 32 villa home lots.
Difference Between Preliminary Plat and Final Plat
Preliminary Plat approval includes the plan for future subdivision of the entire development
including a review of lots, streets, grading, stormwater, utilities, public land dedication, and
landscaping. Final Plat approval is the formal subdivision of all or a portion of a Preliminary Plat
into lots of record for construction. The Preliminary Plat establishes the plan for development,
while the Final Plat formally puts the plan into effect.
Villa Homes
All homes will be developed as Villa Homes under the design of Epcon Communities. Homes will
be one story. Outdoor activity spaces for each home will be located on the side as opposed to the
rear yard to offer a private courtyard space. The homes will be marketed towards empty nester
and seniors. The development will include an association responsible for all outdoor maintenance
including landscaping and snow removal. Please see the attached pictures for further information.
Epcon has been constructing homes since 1986 providing housing to more than 30,000 families.
Specializing in constructing single-story living communities they are based in Ohio and have
constructed communities in 28 states. Further information can be found at
www.epconcommunities.com.
Lot Layout
Proposed lots meet the following minimum requirements of the R-3 Zoning District:
Minimum
Requirement
Proposal
Lot Area 5,000 s.f. 6,000 - 14,550 s.f.
Front Yard Setback 20’ 20’
Interior Side Yard Setback 7’ 7’
Corner Side Yard Setback 10’ 10’
Rear Yard Setback 20’ 20 - 70’
Outlots
Outlots are parcels of land that are restricted from immediate development. Development
restrictions may be permanent (such as stormwater basins), or temporary (such as future phases
of a development). The outlots included in the preliminary plat are designated for private
stormwater basins common open space, and future development phases.
Streets
Development includes the extension of both Old Bridge Lane and 23rd Street. Melody Court and
Orchard Court would be established to serve areas west of Old Bridge Lane. All streets would be
publicly dedicated and meet minimum size requirements. Cul-de-sac lengths are less than the
maximum 500 foot length limit.
Pedestrian Access
Pedestrian access is adequate. A trail exists on the south side of Northridge Drive and a sidewalk
along the west side of Pleasant Drive. A new sidewalk is proposed along the east side of the
extension of Old Bridge Lane and along the south side of 23rd Street to provide access to existing
facilities.
Landscape Plan
The landscape plan identifies boulevard tree plantings every 50 lineal feet along all new right-of-
ways. Additional coniferous tree plantings have been included along the cul-de-sac bulbs to
buffer activities from adjoining home owners. Front yard trees will be required for every unit as
part of the building permit.
Civil Plan Review - Grading, Drainage, Erosion Control, and Municipal Utilities
The site is generally flat. Existing homes adjacent to the north and west sides of the proposed
development experience drainage issues at present. Stormwater rules require that all site
drainage be treated within the boundaries of the plat. Stormwater runoff cannot exit the site.
The developer proposes to create drainage swales along the north and west boundaries of the
plat to channel drainage on site to proposed stormwater basins. The Public Works Director is
conducting an in depth analysis of stormwater drainage to ensure conformance with
requirements.
Buffering to Existing Homes
Coniferous tree plantings have been incorporated along the north and western extents of the
development to provide further separation between existing homes and new homes and streets.
The trees will be six feet tall at the time of planting and will be grouped to limit visibility.
RECOMMENDATION - PRELIMINARY PLAT
Approval of the Preliminary Plat to create 32 new villa home is recommended subject to the
following conditions:
1) Conformance with the plans submitted with the Planning Commission Staff Report dated
August 24, 2020.
2) Gutters must be included on all lots abutting the rear yard swale along the northern and
western boundaries which include Phase 2, Block 2, Lots 1-8 to channel drainage into
swales so as not to exit the boundary of the development.
3) Final approval of all Civil Plans including Grading, Drainage and Erosion Control Plan, and
Utility Plan by the Public Works Director.
4) All disturbed areas on the property shall be stabilized with rooting vegetative cover to
eliminate erosion control problems.
5) Establishment of sureties and payment of escrow prior to commencement of site grading
and utilities.
6) Approval is subject to a one year Sunset Clause. The project must commence within one
year of the approval date or approval is null and void.
FINAL PLAT REVIEW
Request
Final Plat approval of the Villas at Pleasant - Phase 1. Development includes 16 villa home lots,
three outlots, and construction of Orchard Court and a portion of Old Bridge Lane.
Civil Plan Review - Grading, Drainage, Erosion Control, and Municipal Utilities
The Final Plat must be constructed in conformance with the Civil Plan approvals granted by the
Public Works Director.
Temporary Turnaround - Old Bridge Lane
Only a portion of Old Bridge Lane will be constructed as part of the Final Plat. A temporary turn
around is necessary at the northern extent of construction during the first phase that would be
removed upon full completion of the street. The applicant proposed construction of a
“hammerhead” type turnaround that is not desirable from a snow removal and maintenance
standpoint to the City. The turnaround will be acceptable as follows:
1) The proposed hammerhead turnaround at the north edge of Old Bridge Lane will only be
acceptable if developer agrees to perform road maintenance (including snow and ice
removal) until the road is extended with a cul-de-sac to City standards.
Stormwater Maintenance Agreement
The developer must execute a stormwater maintenance agreement over all private stormwater
utility systems to ensure private maintenance and to allow for emergency public access prior to
recording of the final plat.
Association Maintenance Agreement
A homeowner’s association or similar mechanism will be required to ensure maintenance of
private common infrastructure including cul-de-sac islands prior to recording of the final plat.
Park Land Dedication
On August 19, 2020 the Park and Recreation Commission recommended the payment of cash in
lieu of land to satisfy park dedication requirements. Payment of $35,200 ($2,200 x 16 units) to
satisfy park dedication requirements prior to release of the final plat mylars for recording will be
required.
Interceptor Sewer Fee
Payment of sewer interceptor fees in the amount of $7,760 ($485 x 16 units) is required prior to
release of the final plat mylars for recording.
Development Agreement
The City and developer shall enter into a Development Agreement to memorialize conditions of
approval and to establish applicable escrow amounts to ensure completion of public
improvements.

Subject: Villas at Pleasant
John Hinzman
We think this is the wrong housing for this property.
There are too many houses for this property.
You should be putting houses in this area like the ones in the surrounding area, in the $400,000 to
$500,000 range.
Sincerely

Subject: Rezoning Villas at Pleasant and Northridge
We have seen via Zoom and mail the proposal for development at Pleasant and Northridge and are opposed to the requested zoning change. We realize that the homeowners affected by this development are severely at a disadvantage by a lack of resources, experience and visibility compared to a large realty
development corporation, but we hope that our elected officials will take our concerns seriously and protect our position.
Unfortunately, we will be unable to attend the Zoom meeting where this proposal will be officially
presented. Please accept this letter of objection in our place.
Neighborhood Impact
Concerns, Question, Issues
Zoning
The obvious objective for the proposed change from R1 to R3 is to enable Lawrence Property to increase
the asking price of the 10 acres at Pleasant and Northridge. However, the negative impact to the existing homeowners in the surrounding neighborhood must be considered and given a higher priority by our city council.
High density “villa” homes are inconsistent with the existing single family homes that surround the proposed development. Long term city plans call for development consistent with neighborhoods. Isn’t this a conflict?
In addition to higher density, R3 allows for multi-story rentals.
If the proposed project falls through, does zoning remain at R3, therefore opening the door for apartment
buildings or other structures inconsistent with surrounding homes, or does it revert to R1? These questions should be answered before considering a zoning change.
Density
The proposed density for this project is inconsistent with any other development within established R1 neighborhoods in Hastings. High density housing is common south of Rt. 47, near the Cub/Wal-Mart business area, north on Pleasant Drive and off Featherstone. In all of these areas land is still available for
further development of high density, villa type housing. Another mixed villa/single family development is already proposed for land near St. Elizabeth's church.
The Pleasant/Northridge plan does not allow for open space other than drainage ponds. No guest parking is designated. Will Pleasant and Northridge become de facto guest parking lots?
Home Values
High density/low cost housing in the middle of an R1 neighborhood contributes to concerns from surrounding homeowners regarding impact on property values. Our home purchases, designs and prices paid were somewhat contingent on R1 zoning and a city plan that calls for “consistency” and “open
spaces” as a desired goal.
A similar zoning change request for villas off of General Sieben Drive in Wyndham Hills was recently rejected by the city council. The proposal was for land that was mostly surrounded by empty property, yet
it was turned down. This quote from the minutes supports our argument on home values:
"Informational Meeting – September 13, 2018 The Developer will hold a second informational meeting on September 13, City Hall. Notification for the
meeting has been expanded to include 329 households comprising homeowners in Wallin 1-17 Additions.
Effect on Property Value
Staff has contacted Dakota County Assessing to learn more about how approval of the plat and construction of the proposed villa homes may affect the property values of homes within the
neighborhood. Dakota County did not give any specific information related to Wallin 18 , but did state
that home size, quality of construction, and architectural style all factor into determining
value. Homes that differentiate from norms established in the neighborhood may have an effect on
value. Homes in closest proximity to those homes outside of the established norm have the strongest likelihood of effect."
Assuming that it is true that there will be a negative impact on home values in the surrounding area, how is this considered a positive development for Hastings? And how will homeowners be compensated for their loss?
Need/Marketability
Developer presented homes as 55+ “lock and leave” in a price range of $350-400k.
Recent understanding is that only 80% of homes can be 55+, leaving the door open for a much higher number of families with children or even rentals if older couples do not buy these homes in sufficient
quantity.
What makes these homes “lock and leave”? No proposals for fencing or security are in the plan. Do lawn mowing and snow removal constitute “lock and leave”? This proposal for high density, over 55
development is in no way similar to other developments where there are amenities and security as well as maintenance.
At the original Zoom meeting with homeowners the developer said that many of the proposed high
density homes will be purchased by local seniors looking to “downsize”. At almost $100,000 more than the average home in Hastings today, why would these attract people looking to downsize? Don’t most people who downsize look for less expensive housing?
All of these issues beg the question – what if these units don’t sell according to plan, which has been presented as 2-3 years. Will the developer drop the 55+ requirement? Will the developer switch to another type of housing? With R3 zoning anything is possible and mostly undesirable to the surrounding neighborhood.
Appearance
Eleven back walls with possible transom windows and minimum separation will be facing existing neighborhood homes and streets along Pleasant. Similarly, four (4) more back walls will face Northridge. Could this possibly be considered attractive? The rear design could very well be mistaken for storage
buildings. Developer has proposed a few shrubs and trees as resolution, but the plan submitted is at best sketchy. Also, the backs of these buildings will be very close to the existing sidewalk. How much landscaping is really practical?
Drainage
All of the existing homes backing up to the current vacant land suffer from backyard drainage issues. Standing water even after average rain and snowmelt is normal. This problem was known, but overlooked
when original occupancy inspections were completed. Problem now has been passed on to homeowners to resolve.
If drainage issues worsen as a result of high density building, who will take responsibility? Assuming non-local developer/builders will be gone, will the city take responsibility?
It is important to note that the developer has not cited any local builders involved in this project. Therefore it is safe to assume that once the project is completed, anyone involved or responsible for
problems will be gone.
Maintenance
Developer has promised “professional” management. Once the developer is out of the picture, anything could happen, especially elimination of the professional management team. In our personal experience with three different homeowners associations, expensive management companies are routinely dropped as
a way to keep monthly assessments down. Maintenance becomes the responsibility of homeowner "boards" whose priority is low cost.
Is the city prepared to step in when this development ages and owners start bickering over replacing dead trees and repairing driveways?
Traffic
Addition of 31 villa homes adds potential for 62 additional vehicles using not only Pleasant, but Northridge and Old Bridge as well. Proposed intersection at Northridge and an exit road from the
development runs directly into Old Bridge, which suggests that Old Bridge will likely become the point of access to Pleasant at south end therefore increasing traffic on Old Bridge.
Developer maintains that over-55 owners will not be using roads at high traffic “rush hour” times. Common sense says that age 55 is not a universal or even common retirement age for Hastings residents. Also, what about the 20% who are not in the 55+ age range?
Proposed cul-de-sacs end within feet of the back-facing walls of existing homes on River Shore Court. This will create a nuisance with auto headlights shining into family rooms and bedrooms at night when residents are home. Landscaping is not a viable solution in winter or at second story level. One cul-de-sac runs along the length of the rear boundary of an existing home creating a new street in the backyard.
Conclusion
Density, Home Values, Appearance, Drainage, Maintenance, Need/Marketability and Traffic are
legitimate concerns for the surrounding neighborhood and should not be taken lightly.
Neither the developer nor the realty firm (Simek) are local companies. They are proposing a one-size-fits-all project into an established Hastings neighborhood with no guarantee that they will not walk away if
the project fails. Lawrence Property stands to gain financially without any responsibility for the long or short term effects on the neighborhood.
My understanding is that R1 housing is viable for the property in question and that serious proposals have
been made for just this type of development. The barrier to R1 is the owner's asking price.
The landowners desire to maximize price potential by finding a buyer who will cram more homes into the same space is understandable, but should not be subsidized by the City of Hastings at the cost of the
surrounding neighbors. The legacy of this project could well be devalued homes and a lowered standard of living.
Concern about a potential lawsuit by a developer with deep pockets against a small town city council if a zoning change is refused is laughable. Mixed housing already exists in Hastings. The city council can certainly provide examples of other villa/townhouse/quad home developments that have already been built with more being proposed on property that does not negatively impact established neighborhoods.
We respectfully request that the City Council turn down the request for rezoning as not a benefit to our local economy, not an improvement in lifestyle and not consistent with city plans.

We are in support of the proposed rezoning at Northridge & Pleasant.
We are neighbors of this development and approaching our retirement years. The Villas at Pleasant are
exactly what we, and many people our age are looking for. We attended the first Zoom meeting hosted
by the developer and were impressed by the plans, quality and flexibility of the project.
Thank you for your consideration.
