PROJECT NARRATIVE
October 25, 2021 – Revised November 22, 2021
PROJECT CONTACTS Developer/Contract Buyer: TEG Land Holdings, LLC (TC Land Development) Tracey Rust, Senior Development Manager [email protected] (952) 221-2566 Ben Schmidt, President [email protected] 1660 Highway 100 South, Suite 400 St. Louis Park, MN 55416 Engineer: Pioneer Engineering Nick Polta, Project Manager [email protected] (651) 251-0607

LOCATION The property is located north of 101st Avenue bounded on the east by 105th Avenue, the north by the Hindu Society of MN Temple, and the west by Troy Lane. West of Troy Lane is property planned for a future elementary school. Rush Creek runs north-south through the property, splitting it east and west. The site is rolling with most of the existing vegetation located within areas along the creek. ZONING The property is currently zoned R-A. We are requesting a rezone to PUD as required by City ordinance. COMPREHENSIVE PLAN
The property has two comprehensive plan designations. East of Rush Creek was amended in October of
2021 to medium density residential allowing 4-10 units/acre. West of Rush Creek is low-medium density
residential allowing 1-4 units/acre. This proposal does not require any changes to the existing
comprehensive plan.
NORTHWEST 610 MASTER PLAN
The 610 Master Plan designates the property west of the creek as Low-Medium Density Residential and
east of the creek is High Density Residential. (this area was recently amended in the comprehensive plan
to medium density). This proposal is consistent with the requirements of the Northwest 610 Master
Plan.
PLANNED UNIT DEVELOPMENT (PUD)
We are proposing a mixed-use development comprised of single-family homes on 85 foot-wide and 65
foot-wide lots west of Rush Creek and a combination of traditional row style townhomes east of Rush
Creek and urban style rear load townhomes fronting on 105th Street. The different housing types will
provide a mix of options to meet the needs of multiple demographic profiles. As part of the PUD
proposal, a trail will run from east to west through the property from 105th Street to Troy Lane. This trail
will connect the Evanswood neighborhood and areas beyond to the future elementary school. Another
trail will run from the Temple property directly south into Evanswood and will connect the Temple to
the future Three Rivers Trail that will run along Rush Creek. The trails will be located within the 26 acres
of open space in Evanswood. This PUD proposal provides 477.5/525 (91%) possible points per the
Maple Grove PUD Project Point System. See submitted project point system worksheet for additional
details.
OPEN SPACE AND NATURAL FEATURES
We are proposing over 26 acres of open space within the Evanswood neighborhood. This open space
will contain trails, landscaping and ponds and will be used by residents for active and passive recreation.
New trails will run throughout the neighborhood (east-west and north-south) providing pedestrian
connections to the Temple, the future elementary school, Rush Creek and the future Three Rivers Park
trail corridor.
The entire 56-acre wooded creek, floodplain, and large wetland complex is located within a DNR
Ecologically Significant Area and includes a DNR Public Water Basin on the north side. This ecologically
valuable area will be preserved in its natural state.
INFRASTRUCTURE
ACCESS
As part of the reconstruction of 101st avenue and Troy Lane, the City has planned new roundabouts at
101st Avenue and Troy Lane, and 105th Avenue and Troy Lane. There are plans to extend a road from
Brockton Lane east to the NW corner of Evanswood. This plan includes a roundabout at 101st Avenue.
These upgrades will significantly improve traffic in this area. This application proposes standard City
right-of-way within the single-family neighborhood and private drives servicing the townhomes. There
will be access points on Troy Land and 101st Avenue, for areas west of the creek, and 101st Avenue and
105th Avenue for areas east of the creek. The proposed development is well-connected with roadways
and trails for easy navigation by both drivers and pedestrians.
WATER AND SEWER
Evanswood will be served with water and sanitary sewer from existing infrastructure located in 101st
Avenue and Troy Lane.
STORMWATER
The stormwater design will meet or exceed all relevant state and local regulations. There are nine
stormwater basins and four infiltration areas planned throughout the site. The open space and trails will
incorporate the stormwater basins creating aesthetically pleasing areas for residents. The stormwater
basin and open space areas will be in outlots dedicated to the City. The City will maintain these areas
once they are accepted as complete.
STREETLIGHTS
Streetlights will be placed throughout the neighborhood per City guidelines. The streetlight style will be
a fixture that is approved by the City of Maple Grove.
LANDSCAPING
The proposed landscaping exceeds City requirements for both the single-family and townhome areas.
Additional perimeter landscaping is proposed along 101st Avenue and Troy Lane to enhance the
streetscape and provide a buffer for the future residents.
WETLANDS
The overall site is comprised of several wetlands along the creek and a large DNR wetland and meadow
to the north of the development, total wetlands are nearly 40 acres. The wetland impact is a mere
0.012 acres. The Creek area and DNR wetland will be platted as an outlot and deeded to the City.
PARKS
Park land dedication will be achieved with a combination of dedicated trail corridor through the open
space area and payment of park land dedication fees.
MONUMENTS
The Evanswood development monument, design to be determined, will be a focal point at the northeast
corner of 101st Avenue and Troy Lane. The monument will be placed in an easement within the City
outlot and be maintained by the homeowner’s association.
HOUSING
By way of its comprehensive plan, the City of Maple Grove desires a balanced housing supply, with
housing available for people at all income levels, family structures and stages of life. The Evanswood
neighborhood supports this desire. Urban styled townhomes that are relatively affordable for young
families, more traditional townhomes with 1-level living that are HOA maintained for empty nesters to
move-up 2 story homes for growing families and finally executive style homes along Rush Creek for large
families or executive ramblers for retirees, Evanswood contain the diversity or home product to meet
the diverse needs of Maple Grove residents. Both townhome products are currently being evaluated as
either a for sale or build for rent product. The homes will be built by trusted local home builders with
roots in the Twin Cities, who can build unique homes that meet the needs of today’s home buyers.
HOMEOWNER’S ASSOCIATION & ARCHITECTURAL GUIDELINES
It is anticipated that there will be two (2) community Homeowner Association’s (HOA). One to maintain
the entrance monument, mailboxes, perimeter landscaping within the outlot along Troy Lane and any
other ancillary common space within the single-family development. The HOA will also be charged with
oversight of any community architectural and landscape guidelines designed to preserve the character
of the Evanswood community. The other HOA will maintain the common spaces within the townhome
neighborhood.
CONSTRUCTION SCHEDULE
Grading for the overall development is anticipated to commence early 2022 with the City to develop
streets and utilities in 2022. Final Plat will be phased according to builder take down schedules with the
1st Final Plat to be approved early spring 2022.
We are excited to present Evanswood and look forward to working with the City staff and elected
officials as we move forward with our applications.
