HomeMy WebLinkAbout3 - Villas at Pleasant To: Planning Commissioners From: John Hinzman, Community Development Director Date: September 14, 2020 Item: TABLED - Villas at Pleasant - Preliminary Plat, and Final Plat #2020-36 - Simek Property Group Planning Commission Action Requested Remove from the table and review 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) Preliminary Plat - Creation of 32 villa home sites. 2) Final Plat - Subdivision of the 1st phase of development consisting of 16 lots. Planning Commission Meeting - August 24th On August 24th the Planning Commission held a public hearing and reviewed the Preliminary and Final Plat along with the Rezoning of the Villas at Pleasant. During the public hearing several individuals provided comment sharing concerns of the location of proposed cul-de-sacs in relation to existing backyards, zoning, stormwater, market for homes, screening, and traffic flow. The Commission voted 5-0 to recommend approval of the rezoning to the City Council. Action on the Preliminary and Final Plat was tabled to the September 14th meeting to review options for the western cul-de-sacs. Please see meeting minutes for further information. Plan Revisions The developer has responded to the concerns of the August 24th Planning Commission Meeting as follows: • More fencing has been added along the west and north sides of Melody Court to provide better screening to neighboring properties. This is in addition to the six foot evergreen plantings as originally proposed. Developer examined other options including: Planning Commission Memorandum • Reducing the size of the cul-de-sacs - not supported by the City’s Engineering and Fire Departments • Linking cul-de-sacs - more homes placed closer to western property line and new homes created within the island of streets would have multiple frontages and would not be desirable. • Private cul-de-sacs - Privately maintained cul-de-sacs would allow for a smaller cul-de-sac, but is not supported by the developer based upon additional maintenance responsibilities of the future home owner’s association. Please see the attached letter from the developer for further information. Staff Analysis Providing additional visual separation between existing homes and new homes is a priority. The addition of fencing along the north and western areas of Melody Court in addition to tree planting improves separation. Similar fencing should also be provided at the western extent of Orchard Court. Private maintenance of cul-de-sacs would reduce the size and distance of the cul-de-sacs from neighboring property owners, but would burden future property owners with the management and expense of two short streets. Recommendation Staff recommends approval of the Preliminary and Final Plat based on the revised changes and per the conditions of the August 24th Planning Commission Staff Memo as amended as follows: 1) Addition of six foot privacy fencing along the western and northern boundaries of Melody Court, and along the western boundary of Orchard Court. Fencing is in addition to proposed landscaping. ATTACHMENTS • Letter from Simek Property Group - September 9, 2020 • Planning Commission Staff Memo - August 24, 2020 Simek Property Group 90 Dale Street South Saint Paul, MN 55102 September 9, 2020 Re: Pleasant Drive and Northridge Drive Dear Planning Commission Members, Since our last planning commission meeting on August 24th we listened to commission members and neighbors’ concerns and report back with the following: 1. Cul-de-sacs/Turn Around: Requested smaller cul-de-sacs from city engineers. Unfortunately, engineering staff and fire department are unwilling to reduce the size of standardized cul-de- sacs or allow a hammer head turn arounds, even though they will have limited use. This is a non- negotiable with the city. 2. Privacy Fences & Landscaping: Neighbor Todd Siewert was presented with a privacy fence option in addition to the evergreen landscaping to increase any headlight blocking and indicated this would be a good and welcome improvement. Siewert’s home will be approx. 51 ft from any street which is similar to homes on Pleasant Ave. and is located 3-5 ft higher elevation than the turn around (see diagram) 3. Reduced Density & Alternative Layout: The alternative layout plan that was offered by Mr. Siewert does not work for the following reasons: 1) Storm/Water drainage (see #4 below) 2) Homes are pushed closer to the neighbors and property line. 3) There are 4 homes that are placed on an “island” that would not be attractive to buyers. 4. Storm Water Engineering & Drainage: Many hours and expense has gone into the current plan to meet required storm water calculations/requirement. It is not easily re-engineered due to the unique characteristics as evidenced by where it requires retention ponds as shown on the current plan. The original major concern from neighbors was proper drainage to correct the existing spring flooding conditions. Our plan makes significant drainage improvements to the site for which neighbors will benefit. 5. Private Streets: Are not a viable option as it would reduce the cul-de-sac width only 4 ft and force street and all underground utilities to become private adding additional maintenance easements. 6. Visual Impact: Single level homes will have minimal visual impact to any neighbors back yards due to their height, when compared to two story traditional homes. Based on our market studies and knowledge; the 55+ buyer does not want to be on the outskirts of town or next to a a cornfield which makes this location desirable. They want to be a part of the community and not isolated from the community. We are hopeful that you will approve the plan with the addition of privacy fencing on both cul-de-sacs as this is a highly desirable home type that meets the needs of current and future community members.

C a l l R To: Planning Commissioners From: John Hinzman, Community Development Director 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 The following land uses abut the property: Direction Use Comp Plan District Zoning District North Single Family Residential Low Density Residential R-1 Single Family East Pleasant Drive Single Family Residential Low Density Residential R-1 Single Family South Northridge Drive Single Family Residential Low Density Residential R-1 Single Family West Single Family Residential Low Density Residential R-1 Single Family 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. RECOMMENDATION - FINAL PLAT Approval of the Final Plat of the Villas at Pleasant is recommended subject to the following conditions: 1) Conformance with the plans submitted with the Planning Commission Staff Report dated August 24, 2020. 2) Final approval of all Civil Plans including Grading, Drainage and Erosion Control Plan, and Utility Plan by the Public Works Director. 3) All disturbed areas on the property shall be stabilized with rooting vegetative cover to eliminate erosion control problems. 4) Execution of a Development Agreement to memorialize conditions of approval and to establish applicable escrow amounts to ensure completion of public improvements. 5) Execution of a stormwater access and maintenance agreement between the City and property owner prior to recording of the final plat. 6) A declaration of covenants, conditions and restrictions or the equivalent document shall be submitted for review and approval by the City before release of the final plat mylars to ensure maintenance of open space, median plantings, cul-de-sac plantings, common drives, and common utilities. The declaration shall include, but is not limited to, the following: a. A statement requiring the deeds, leases or documents of conveyance affecting buildings, units, parcels, tracts, townhouses, or apartments be subject to the terms of the declaration. b. A provision for the formation of a property owners association or corporation and that all owners must be members of said association or corporation which may maintain all properties and common areas in good repair and which may assess individual property owners proportionate shares of joint or common costs. The association or corporation must remain in effect and may not be terminated or disbanded. c. Membership in the association shall be mandatory for each owner and any successive buyer. d. Any open space restrictions must be permanent and may not be changed or modified without city approval. e. The association is responsible for liability insurance, local taxes and the maintenance of the open space facilities deeded to it. f. Property owners are responsible for their pro-rata share of the cost of the association by means of an assessment to be levied by the association which meet the requirements for becoming a lien on the property in accordance with Minnesota Statutes. g. The association may adjust the assessment to meet changing needs. 7) Submission of certification of taxes paid in full for the property prior to release of the final plat mylars for recording. 8) Payment of $35,200 ($2,200 x 16 units) to satisfy park dedication requirements prior to release of the final plat mylars for recording. 9) Payment of $7,760 ($485 x 16 units) in sewer interceptor fees prior to release of the final plat mylars for recording. 10) Individual mailboxes for each home are not permitted. Mailboxes must be grouped into clusters. 11) Developer shall plant "boulevard" trees of at least 1.5 caliper inches according to the submitted tree plan. An escrow is required for any unplanted trees before a certificate of occupancy is issued. 12) One front yard tree of at least 1.5 caliper inches must be planted by the builder or developer on every platted lot.

C a l l R U T I L I T Y L E G E N D : COMMENTS FROM NEIGHBORS Sent: Wednesday, August 19, 2020 11:44 AM To: PublicComment <PublicComment@hastingsmn.gov> 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 Ken and Barb Angerman 1351 23rd St. W. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Sent: Wednesday, August 19, 2020 10:14 AM To: PublicComment <PublicComment@hastingsmn.gov> 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. Submitted by: Tom and Pam Sullivan 2443 River Shore Court Hastings, MN 55033 _____________________________________________________________________________________ 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. Howard & Michelle Nevanen 1431 River Shore Drive Hastings, MN 55033 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Mayor and Council Members, I am writing in opposition to the re zoning of the property at Northridge Dr and Pleasant Ave. I live at 2467 River Shore Ct. I am the original owner of the property. I built the house myself. When I purchased the property in 2004 and completed the house in 2005, land in question was zoned R1/Ag so I always knew that someday I was going to have a neighbor to the back of our home. If this was to be an R1 development you wouldn't hear a word from me. However, this proposal is absolutely non-conforming to the area and will have an immense impact on my property value. After consulting with my realtor, I stand to easily 15% of my property value if not more. 1. The proposed plan places a cul-de-sac at my rear property line. When I bought my lot, I had a curb in the front only, now I may have one on my rear property line? That alone will result in a huge loss in value. I will also then have to deal with light pollution as headlights from vehicle will now be shining directly in my main floor and upstairs. It also raises a security issue for us. I have children and now a car could theoretically drive right through into my yard. I hate to sound selfish but my property matters more than this development. I have been here 15 years, paying taxes. 2. The R3 high density housing will obviously reduce my property value. That is well established fact that was the legal reason for not allowing it to happen less the 1/2 mile to the west of this location. 3. Once you rezone this there's no going back. How will you stop this from being an apartment complex when this product doesn't sell? 4. This product is also going to be available 1/2 mile away in the newly annexed part of town south of SEAS church, correct? 113 units? There is no shortage of the product. Do not allow this in our "backyard" causing financial harm to us. I hope that this doesn't fall on deaf ears. I know you will not hear any support for this. We, the citizens and taxpayers, should be your #1 priority all of the time. This market was crushed in the last recession and this will affect our values in the same way. Just because the land is way over priced for this market to build R1 homes, that cost or profit should not be coming out of the pockets of established constituents. If this passes, I believe someone will have negligence in my financial loss. Will it be the city, the developer, or land owner? It isn't my actions that will harm me. But the cities action tonight surely may. Again, you are expected to protect the citizens of Hastings, first and foremost. Please do. Paul Hiller ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- City of Hastings, I am writing my concerns of the rezoning on the pleasant property. Correct me if I am wrong, but a zoning ordinance is put into place to protect homeowners of not only their property, but also the value that goes along with it. I feel to put such a high density of villas right in the middle of town and the middle of a residential area is just wrong. The preliminary plan that we saw also had a road right in the back of my yard. I do not want to have to worry about my Grand kids playing in our yard and being that close to a road. The design of the villas was made so that there could be privacy, however the side facing pleasant drive and all the homes in the back, will be looking at only a very small window on the top, making it look more like storage garages. I am all for development and a growing community, but also want to protect homeowners with their property purchase. I believe you can get 24 or 25 nice villas back there with nice green space and keep it in R1 zoning. This is why it was zoned that way many years ago, and I feel should stay the same. Thank you Joni Siewert ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ To whom it may concern: As a resident of the neighborhood, living on River Shore Court and in the Wyndham Hills development, we are concerned with the rezoning of this property from A-Agriculture and R-1 Single Family to R-3 Medium to high density residence. Our understanding was that this property was zoned as Single Family Residence which made us more comfortable when purchasing our lot/residence 17 years ago. We are concerned with the rezoning and the affect it will have on our property value as well as the current status quo of the surrounding neighborhoods. We would strongly oppose anything but R-1 Single Family residences to be built on this property. Thank you for your consideration Dave and Deb Reinke ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ This message is in regard to the Villas at Pleasant. Attached you will find maps which I will explain in the letter. First – I am all for seeing this land developed behind my house. I’m are very sick of having corn and beans planted for the past 30 years. My big concerns is the density and the rezoning to a R3. As a city, your comprehensive plans that you perform go through areas of the city designating what areas would be best suited for developments and zone that parcels according to your expertise as city staff and elected officials. The land is currently zoned R1, which from a city view is logical from the fact that the surrounding developments are all R1 residential neighborhoods. So obviously I would like it to remain that to protect the value of my home. I feel if it goes to R3 my value of my house may be compromised. With that, the maps attached indicate my other concerns if this development moves forward. Highlighted in orange is a cul-de-sac that is directly butting up to my back yard. First the street services 5 villas of which I feel a smaller cul-de-sac could be used there along with pulling it to the east further. The other plans are options I believe the developer could look at and consider - I really do not want a street in my back yard – it’s truly poor planning. The last plan is what I had drawn up when considering the land which is a single family development which I feel it should be. Thanks for your time – look forward to the meeting tonight. Todd Siewert ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Hello, We do have some questions for the Rezoning. We feel the biggest concern is R1 to R3 and the field flooding issue. Attached please find some of the pictures we took when we had flooding from the field and water in basement. Here are our questions. Thank you so much! 1. When the plan was originally presented by the contractor we were informed the zoning would be R1 to R2. At the meeting the contractor indicated they are wanting R1 to R3? We asked what the difference was between R2 and R3 as far as number of structures on the property and there was no response. Is the current plan from the contractor truly a plan based on R2 zoning or R3 zoning? 2. Can you please provide an example where a property went from R1 to R3 in Hastings? 3. Can you provide examples in Hastings of R3 zoned properties? 4. If the contractor decides to pull out and the city rezones R1-R3 then will the city allow anything to be built on that property or will they zone it back to R1? 5. Flooding – There is a serious issue with draining in the field. This absolutely has to be addressed in order to not cause future issues for homeowners around the field. Can the city assure that by rezoning the property from R1 to R3 which allows for additional structures will decrease the flooding issues and not increase the issues? Currently the field is all natural soil and can hardly absorb the water and snow melt. How will the city assure that the additional building structures allowed under R3 zoning will not increase the water drain off issues? 6. Can the City hire a third-party unbiased zoning company to review the flooding plans for water management based on zoning to R3? We would like to see different scenarios based on all the possibilities for R3 building, including if the contractor decides to pull out of development and what the unknown building possibilities could potentially be i.e. row homes or attached townhomes, apartments? 7. Have all surrounding parties been included to join the meeting with the contractor? People living on Old Bridge Lane, West 21st, and West 23rd Street? 8. What other structures are allowed to be built on R-3 property? ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- From: Jeff Bussey <Jeff.Bussey@oldnational.com> Sent: Tuesday, August 18, 2020 1:38 PM To: Trevor Lund Subject: FW: Villas at Pleasant We are in support of the proposed rezoning at Northridge & Pleasant. Jeff & Diana Bussey 1620 Greystone Road Hastings, MN 55033 ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- From: Darin Berg Date: August 24, 2020 at 6:51:42 PM CDT To: publiccomment@hastings.gov Subject: Rezoning Villas at Pleasant - Northridge and Pleasant. Once again our neighborhood has to try to defend their property values because a developer wants to make as much money as possible by inserting what equates to “Cluster Housing”. There is obviously no consideration for the surrounding residents by Simek Property Group or Lawrence Property. First and foremost, the negative impact of this kind of development to the surrounding single family homes will be significant. House property values will reduce greatly, this has been historically proven when medium to high density housing is forced into an area of higher valued homes. This area has always been advertised to new and existing homeowners and home builders that this is single family home only development. I have absolutely no problem with building single family homes on this property. The R3 rezoning is not consistent, nor advantageous in any way to the surrounding community. Something to consider is that Lawrence Property seems to greatly over value this property and the only way a developer/builder can make any reasonable profit, is to build these type of R3 zoned Medium to high density homes. This should not be a premise to even consider such a zoning. Our neighborhood should not suffer because of their greed. The city council has been tasked to represent the best interests of the community. The rezoning of this property does not represent the best interests of the existing tax paying residents surrounding the land in question. Darin R Berg - 2456 Rivershore Court ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Hey Mark, Attached is an alternate plan that I would prefer for the land behind my house. Please pass this along to your fellow council members - the current plan is upsetting to me, especially in regards to a street directly in my back yard. Hope this will help with a possible option.
