AGENDA ITEM DETAILS
RECOMMENDATION:
City staff recommends the City Council approve a preliminary plat.
ARE YOU SEEKING APPROVAL OF A CONTRACT? IS A PUBLIC HEARING REQUIRED?
No Yes, was held by Planning Commission on 20 January 2026
BACKGROUND/JUSTIFICATION:
Foss Swim School has submitted application to plat Outlot A, Great River Centre of Otsego Seventh Addition as one lot
for commercial development. The proposed lot is subject to preliminary plat review as it was not previously identified
as a buildable lot at the time the current outlot was established. Previously dedicated drainage and utility easements
at the perimeter of the outlot will be vacated as part of the plat process.
The proposed development of the subject property is illustrated on a sketch plan submitted as supporting information
with the plat application. The sketch plan illustrates development of a 9,600 square foot building to be constructed as
a commercial swim school. The site plan also illustrates a second 11,900 square foot building within the proposed lot
as a future construction. The development of the proposed lot will require future application for site and building
plan approval. This is expected to occur concurrent with application for final plat approval.
A public hearing to consider the preliminary plat application and easement vacation was held by the Planning
Commission at their meeting on 20 January 2026. Mr. Duane Boris of Foss Swim School was present and agreed with
the recommendations of City staff. The Planning Commission had no comments regarding the plat. They did discuss
traffic, site access, and off-street parking related to the sketch plan. The Planning Commission concluded that the
multiple access points to the lot, as well as the supply of parking within the site is sufficient to avoid congestion on the
public streets.
The City Council will consider approval of the preliminary plat on 26 January 2026. Applications for final plat approval
and Site and Building Plans will be submitted subsequently. The City Council will act on the vacation of existing
drainage and utility easements concurrently with the final plat.

the preliminary plat application has been noticed for the Planning Commission meeting on 20
January 2026.
The proposed development of the subject property is illustrated on a sketch plan submitted as
supporting information with the plat application. The sketch plan illustrates development of a
9,600 square foot building to be constructed as a commercial swim school. The site plan also
illustrates a second 11,900 square foot building within the proposed lot as a future
construction. The development of the proposed lot will require future application for site and

ANALYSIS
Comprehensive Plan. The 2023 Comprehensive Plan guides the subject property within the
Great River Centre of Otsego for commercial land use as part of the City’s primary retail,
service, and office area within the community. The platting of the subject to allow for
development of the proposed swim school allows for a commercial indoor recreation business
that will serve Otsego and the surrounding region. The proposed use is consistent with the
types of businesses planned for the area by the 2023 Comprehensive Plan.
PUD District. The City Council approved a PUD District for the Great River Centre of Otsego on
13 March 2006. The PUD District is based upon the uses and performance standards as allowed
within the B-1, Retail Business District. The B-1 District allows for the proposed swim school as a
permitted use defined as instructional classes and indoor commercial recreation. Development
of permitted commercial uses is subject to site and building plan review by the Planning
Commission and approval of the City Council in accordance with Section 11-9-3 of the Zoning
Ordinance.
Surrounding Area. The table below summarizes the existing and planned land uses
surrounding the subject property:
Direction Land Use Plan Zoning Map Existing Use
North Commercial PUD District Tires Plus
Wings Financial
Everbrook Academy
East Commercial PUD District The Village apartments
South Office B-4 District Twin City Bee Keeping
EDCO/Undeveloped
West Commercial PUD District Good Day Car Wash
The area within Great River Center bounded by 87th Street/Quaday Avenue/85th Street/Parrish
Avenue (CSAH 42) is designated as a Village Center, where development is to utilize elements of
traditional neighborhood design in both site planning and architecture. When Good Day Car
Wash was constructed, the application review noted that development of Outlot A, Great River
Centre of Otsego would be required to develop in accordance with the Village Center elements
of the Great River Centre of Otsego PUD Design Guidelines. The indoor commercial recreation
use and future retail building is more consistent with the community service type businesses
anticipated for this area of the Great River Centre and will be compatible with the day care and
apartment uses directly adjacent to the subject property.
3
Preliminary Plat. The developer has submitted a preliminary plat to plat the existing 2.97 acre
outlot into one lot.
Lot Requirements. There are no minimum lot area or width requirements for
subdivision of lots within the GRC PUD District. Lot 1, Block 1 is proposed to be 2.97
acres in area and is 305 feet in width as measured at the front setback line abutting 85th
Street. The necessary area and width of a specific lot is to be based on required setbacks
and a functional site plan in terms of access and circulation. The sketch plan, reviewed
in detail in subsequent paragraphs, illustrates a feasible development of the proposed
lot.
Right-of-Way. The subject property 85th Street and Parson Avenue. The City Engineer is
not recommending additional right-of-way dedication be required for 85th Street or
Parson Avenue.
Utilities. The subject property is within the East Sewer District established by the 2023
Comprehensive Plan. Sewer and water utilities are available at the property to serve
the proposed development as illustrated on the preliminary utility plan. The utility plan
and any related issues will be subject to review and approval by the City Engineer as
part of a future site and building plan review application.
The developer is required to pay Utility Availability Charges at the time of final plat
approval. These fees are used by the City to fund the construction of the trunk sewer
collection pipes and water distribution pipes. A preliminary calculation of the Sewer
Availability Charges (SAC) and Water Availability Charges (WAC) based on the 2026 Fee
Schedule for the proposed lot are provided below:
o WAC: 3.5 RECS/ac. x 2.97ac. x $4,596.00/REC = $47,775.42
o SAC: 3.5 RECS/ac. x 2.97ac. x $3,171.00/REC = $32,962.55
Additional utility related fees are collected at the time a building permit is issued. The
Utility Connection Fees are used by the City for the construction of the operational
elements of the sewer and water utilities such as wastewater treatment facilities, lift
stations, wells, pump houses, water towers and water treatment plants. The calculation
of the Utility Connection Fees for commercial uses is based on the schedule for
Residential Equivalent Connections development by Metropolitan Council
Environmental Services based on water use for specific activities. The 2026 schedule for
connection fees is shown below.
o Water Connection Fee: $4,596.00/REC
o Sewer Connection Fee: $9,513.00/REC
4
Stormwater. The developer has submitted a preliminary grading plan for the proposed
development of the subject site. The grading plan and all stormwater management
related issues will be subject to review and approval by the City Engineer as part of a
subsequent site and building plan review application. The subject property is not
included within a watershed district and no stormwater impact fee is required at the
time of final plat approval.
Easements. Section 10-8-12 of the Subdivision Ordinance requires dedication of 10 foot
wide drainage and utility easements at the perimeter of proposed lots, over stormwater
management facilities, and over water utility extensions. There are existing drainage
and utility easements along the north, east, and south lines of the subject property that
will be vacated and replaced by new easements dedicated with the proposed plat. The
proposed plat illustrates the required perimeter easements. Additional easements to be
recorded by document related to sewer, water or stormwater utilities may be required
as part of the site and building plan review application. All drainage and utility
easements are to be subject to review and approval by the City Engineer.
Park Dedication. The initial final plat of the Great River Centre of Otsego was credited
as having satisfied park dedication requirements through trail improvements within the
subdivision. No additional park dedication is required for approval of a final plat for the
proposed preliminary plat.
Sketch Plan. A sketch plan illustrating development of the proposed lot has been submitted
with the application for preliminary plat approval. The proposed development of the subject
property includes a 9,600 square foot building for a commercial swim school and future 11,900
square foot retail commercial building.
Setbacks. The following setbacks are required of the subject site based on the
requirements of the GRC PUD District Design Guidelines and the B-1 District. The sketch
plan complies with these requirements. Importantly, the site plan locates the proposed
swim school building at the southeast corner of the lot with the parking in-line or behind
the building as viewed from Parson Avenue. This site layout is encouraged by the GRC
PUD District design guidelines and is consistent with the location of other commercial
buildings along Parson Avenue to the north.
