AGENDA ITEM DETAILS
RECOMMENDATION:
City staff recommend the City Council approve a Zoning Map amendment, Planned Unit Development - Conditional
Use Permit, and a preliminary plat.
ARE YOU SEEKING APPROVAL OF A CONTRACT? IS A PUBLIC HEARING REQUIRED?
No Yes, was held by Planning Commission 6 April 2026
BACKGROUND/JUSTIFICATION:
Summergate Companies LLC has submitted application for subdivision of four parcels with a total area 62.27 acres
located north of 70th Street (CSAH 38) and west of Odean Avenue into 141 single family lots. The proposed
development requires applications for a Zoning Map amendment, Planned Unit Development-Conditional Use Permit,
and preliminary plat.
A public hearing to consider the zoning and subdivision applications and right-of-way vacation was held at the
Planning Commission meeting on 6 April 2026. Mr. Bryan Tucker was present as the applicant and agreed with the
recommendations of City staff. There were no public comments, and the public hearing was closed.
The Planning Commission asked about keeping existing trees along Odean Avenue. Mr. Tucker responded that they
would work to keep existing trees when possible as it is in their interest as well. There were no other comments from
the Planning Commission, and they voted 6-0 to recommend approval of the applications.
The property owners approached City staff after the Planning Commission meeting with concerns about the condition
of approval related to farm animals. The pigs on the property belong to their grandson who is raising them to show at
the Wright County Fair this year. The property owners also would like to have the ability to keep farm animals such as
chickens, sheep, goats, etc. on the property. City staff do not have concerns with the farm animals remaining on the
property this construction season given there will be no newly occupied homes. Furthermore, keeping farm animals
other than cows or pigs on the property can be done in a manner compatible with the future residential
neighborhood if density is limited and the standards for keeping farm animals on properties other than farms
established by the Zoning Ordinance are followed. A revised condition is included in the resolution of approval
attached hereto.

ANALYSIS
Zoning. The subject properties are currently zoned A-1, Agriculture Rural Service District. The
proposed subdivision requires consideration of a Zoning Map amendment to rezone the
preliminary plat to R5, Single and Two Family Residential District. The preliminary plat
application also includes a request for a Planned Unit Development-Conditional Use Permit
related to lot standards as recommended by the 2023 Comprehensive Plan. The Zoning Map
amendment and Planned Unit Development-Conditional Use Permit are to be considered based
upon, but not limited to, the criteria established by Section 11-3-2.F and Section 11-4-2.F of the
Zoning Ordinance, respectively:
1. The proposed action's consistency with the specific policies and provisions of the Otsego
Comprehensive Plan.
Comment: The Future Land Use Plan of the 2023 Comprehensive Plan guides the subject
property for low density residential uses, except for the five acre parcel at the west edge
of the preliminary plat, which is guided for Low-to-Medium Density Residential land use.
Low Density Residential land uses are to be single family neighborhoods with a net
density of 3.0 dwelling units per acre or less. The net area of the subject property less
outlots for storm basins, wetlands, wetland buffers, and collector and arterial street
right-of-way is 47.02 acres (also not including the proposed lot with one existing
dwelling). The proposed 141 single family lots subdivided from 47.02 acres has a density
of 3.0 dwellings per acre, which is consistent with the policies of the 2023
Comprehensive Plan.
2. The proposed use's compatibility with present and future land uses of the area.
Comment: The subject property is surrounded by the existing and planned uses shown in
the table below. The proposed preliminary plat will be consistent with the character of
the area and compatible with existing and planned surrounding land uses.

3. The proposed use's conformity with all performance standards contained within the
Zoning Ordinance and other provisions of the City Code.
3
Comment: The proposed preliminary plat will comply with the provisions of the Zoning
Ordinance, Subdivision Ordinance, and Engineering Manual.
4. Traffic generation of the proposed use in relation to capabilities of streets serving the
property.
Comment: The subject property is to accessed from 70th Street (CSAH 38), which is a
Minor Arterial roadway, and Odean Avenue, which is a Residential Major Collector
street. Both 70th Street (CSAH 38) and Odean Avenue have adequate capacity to
accommodate traffic generated by the development.
5. The proposed use can be accommodated by existing public services and facilities and
will not overburden the City's service capacity.
Comment: The proposed preliminary plat is within the East Sewer District and the City has
in-place utilities and services planned for as part of the 2023 Comprehensive Plan. The
proposed development will not overburden the City’s service capacity.
Access. The subject property abuts 70th Street (CSAH 38) and Odean Avenue.
The Transportation Plan designates 70th Street (CSAH 38) as a Minor Arterial roadway. Right-of-
way dedication for 70th Street (CSAH 38) is to be determined by Wright County. The one
proposed access to 70th Street (CSAH 38) at the southwest corner of the preliminary plat is also
subject to approval of Wright County. City staff is recommending this location to best facilitate
a full-intersection based on the developability of properties on the south side of 70th Street
(CSAH 38).
The preliminary plat proposes one initial access from Odean Avenue at Street B. Subdivision of
Lot 1, Block 11 would result in a second access from Odean Avenue at 74th Street. The
Transportation Plan designates Odean Avenue as a Residential Major Collector street. Section
10-8-5.B.4.c of the Subdivision Ordinance requires a minimum of 500 feet of space between
intersections to a Major Collector street to minimize turning movements and facilitate through
traffic on the Major Collector street. The proposed spacing of the Street A and Street B
intersections to Odean Avenue comply with the spacing requirement established by the
Subdivision Ordinance.
Section 10-8-5.A.7 of the Subdivision Ordinance requires projection of streets to abutting
undeveloped parcels. Street C is proposed to be extended to the west plat line at the southwest
corner of the subject site. There is not the ability to extend additional street connections to the
west through Block 9 because of wetlands within the abutting parcel. The north leg of the
Street A and Street D intersection is an outlot corridor that should be modified to right-of-way
width to allow City flexibility in determining use of the City-owned outlot west of the Otsego
Fire Department lot.
4
Local Streets. Streets internal to the proposed the preliminary plat will be public and designed
with 60 foot rights-of-way as required by Section 10-8-5.B.1 of the Subdivision Ordinance and
28 foot wide street section outlined by the Engineering Manual. There are no cul-de-sac streets
within the proposed preliminary plat. The proposed streets have been designed in relation the
topography of the subject property and surrounding physical barriers so as to result in usable
lots and to discourage through traffic.
All street design and construction plans and signs are subject to review and approval of the City
Engineer.
Street names will be assigned by City staff in accordance with the Wright County grid system
and Section 10-8-5.B.13 of the Subdivision Ordinance.
Street Lighting. Section 8-8-4 of the City Code specifies installation of street lighting for new
subdivisions at the corners of intersecting streets and midblock locations for blocks longer than
900 feet. Street lighting is to be shown on the utility plan. The number and location of proposed
street lights and street signs is to be subject to review and approval of the City Engineer.
All street design and construction plans, lighting, and signs are subject to review and approval
of the City Engineer.
Pedestrians. There are existing trails on the north side of 70th Street (CSAH 38) and west side of
Odean Avenue abutting the subject property.
Section 10-8-5.D of the Subdivision Ordinance establishes requirements for sidewalks within
the preliminary plat. A five foot wide sidewalk is shown on one side of all local streets on the
submitted plans. We recommend that the sidewalk on Street A be moved to the west/north
side of the street and that the sidewalk on Street B also be moved to the west/north, as these
will allow for greater sun coverage during winter months.
All plans for sidewalks and trails are subject to review and approval of the City Engineer.
Blocks. Section 10-8-3.A of the Subdivision Ordinance establishes that blocks within a
subdivision are to be a minimum of 300 feet and not more than 1,200 feet in length. Blocks 1/9
and Block 3/8 along Street A and Block 6 do not comply with this requirement. The length of
Blocks 1/9 is due to wetlands to the west of the subject property that prevent street extension.
The length of Block 3/8 is due to topography and location of stormwater management basins.
Block is exceeds the maximum length requirement due to intersection spacing limits onto 70th
Street (CSAH 38) and Odean Avenue. T
Lot Requirements. Section 11-66-6.A of the Zoning Ordinance requires single family lots within
the R5 District to be a minimum of 9,000 square feet in area and 60 feet (90 feet for corner lots)
in width. The preliminary plat includes lots that are a minimum of 60 feet and 65 feet in width
and six lots that area minimum of 75 feet in width.
5
The 2023 Comprehensive Plan allows flexibility in minimum lot area and width requirements
through a Planned Unit Development – Conditional Use Permit to encourage subdivisions to
provide for diversity in single family housing options. The 60 foot wide lots range in area from
8,400 square feet to 27,834 square feet in area with an average of 12,571 square feet. Corner
lots have also increased in width to allow for the same building envelope in consideration of the
increased setback requirement for the side yard abutting a public right-of-way.
The proposed lots comply with the requirements of the Zoning Ordinance and intent to allow
lot requirement flexibility through approval of a Planned Unit Development – Conditional Use
Permit.
Setbacks. The table below specifies the principal building setback requirements of the R5
District as provided for in Section 11-66-6.C of the Zoning Ordinance and the wetland setback
established by Section 11-16-5.F.4.b of the Zoning Ordinance. The setbacks shown on the
preliminary plat comply with the minimum requirements of the Zoning Ordinance.

Landscaping. Section 11-19-2.B.2 of the Zoning Ordinance requires that two shade trees be
provided for each lot, one of which must be in the front yard, at the time of house construction.
The trees required in the front yard required to be planted be outside of the public right-of-
way.
Section 11-19-3.B requires that lots abutting collector and arterial streets provide a landscape
buffer yard. The submitted landscape plan includes the buffer yard plantings with the required
size and number of plants and appropriate plant types for the following lots subject to the buffer
yard landscape requirement:
Lot 1, Block 5
Lots 1, 9-11, and 14-29, Block 6
Lots 1-7, Block 10
Grading. The developer has submitted plans for grading, drainage, and erosion control plans for
development of the preliminary plat. The developer has also submitted a wetland delineation
and wetland impact plan for the proposed preliminary plat. Wetlands to be preserved are
required by Section 11-16-5.F of the Zoning Ordinance to be protected by a 20 foot buffer with
the wetland and wetland buffer platted within an outlot deeded to the City.
All grading, drainage, wetland impacts, and erosion control issues are subject to review and
approval of the City Engineer.
6
The developer is not required to pay a Stormwater Impact Fee for Lefebvre Creek as all
additional stormwater runoff will be infiltrated and not flow off of the subject property.
Utilities. The majority of the subject property is within the East Sewer District with sewer and
water utilities available at the perimeter of the plat. The five acre parcel at the west edge of the
preliminary plat is within Urban Service Expansion Area E1, but the grading plan allows for
gravity sewer to serve this area with the East Sewer District. The developer has submitted plans
for extension of sewer and water utilities to serve the proposed lots within the preliminary plat.
All utility plans are subject to review and approval of the City Engineer.
There are two exception parcels abutting the north side of 70th Street (CSAH 38) surrounded by
the proposed preliminary plat. The exception parcels are not of sufficient size to require access
be provided from internal streets to allow for future subdivision. However, provision has been
made for extension of sewer to both exception parcels. Access to water utilities is available
within the 70th Street (CSAH 38) right-of-way along the south line of each exception parcel.
Payment of utility availability charges are due at the time of final plat approval and payment of
utility connection charges are due at the time a building permit is issued for each lot in
accordance with Title 6, Section 1 of the City Code.
Easements. Section 10-18-12.A of the Subdivision Ordinance requires 10 foot drainage and
utility easements at the perimeter of all lots (overlying side lot lines), as well as over any
stormwater management facilities, wetlands, and wetland buffers not platted within outlots
deeded to the City. The preliminary plat provides for dedication of required easements, which
are to be subject to review and approval of the City Engineer.
Outlots. The preliminary plat includes five outlots as shown below. Outlots A, B, C, and D are to
be deeded to the City for stormwater management purposes in accordance with Section 10-8-
12.D of the Subdivision Ordinance. The preliminary plat is to revise Outlot E as public right-of-
way that is a minimum of 60 feet wide.
Outlot Purpose Ownership
A, B, C, D Wetlands, wetland buffer storm basin Deed to City
E Trail corridor Plat as ROW
Park Dedication. Section 10-8-15.A of the Subdivision Ordinance requires subdividers to
dedicate a reasonable portion of the buildable land within a proposed preliminary plat for
public use as parks or open space. The City may also choose to accept an equivalent amount in
cash for part or all of the land required to be dedicated.
The subject property is within the service area for Friedrich Park to the north. The Future Parks
and Trails Map also identifies an additional future neighborhood park further to the west of the
subject properties that would be centered between future Nashua Avenue and Odean Avenue.
7
The Future Parks and Trails plan does not identify acquisition of land from the subject property
for park facilities. Park dedication requirements for the proposed subdivision are to be satisfied
as a cash fee in lieu of land at the time of final plat approval.
Lot 1, Block 11. There is an existing farmstead within one of the parcels included in subject
property located at the northeast corner of the preliminary plat. The preliminary plat illustrates
a sketch plan showing extension of Street A between Odean Avenue and Street D to allow
future subdivision of Lot 1, Block 11. Use of the farmstead parcel currently includes keeping
pigs. From a land use compatibility standpoint, continuing to keep pigs on Lot 1, Block 11 is
almost certain to cause issues with the proposed single family lots. Lot 1, Block 11 will,
therefore, be rezoned to R5 District with the preliminary plat eliminating keeping of farm
animals as an allowed use. We recommend a condition of preliminary plat approval be included
that any keeping of farm animals must cease prior to recording a final plat and that the use will
not be reestablished in the future.
RECOMMENDATION
The proposed Meridian Fields preliminary plat is consistent with the goals and policies of the
2023 Comprehensive Plan and complies with the requirements of the Zoning Ordinance and
Subdivision Ordinance. City staff recommends approval of applications as outlined below.
