PROJECT ANALYSIS:
Chapter 11- 86 -7.D of the Zoning Ordinance requires commercial recreational facilities
to meet the following applicable provisions:
1. The architectural appearance and function plan of the building and the site shall be
designed with a high standard of architectural and aesthetic compatibility with
surrounding properties. Building materials, orientation, colors, height, roof design,
lighting, signage and site landscaping shall be designed to complement the
surrounding industrial properties and demonstrate potential industrial reuse. All
sides of the principal and accessory structures are to have essentially the same or a
coordinated, harmonious exterior finish treatment.
• The existing building is compatible with surrounding properties as
indicated on the attached building elevation plan.
2. A commercial recreational use shall not be located within a shared tenancy building
containing a use classified as an "H" occupancy as defined by Minnesota state
building code, as may be amended.
• The existing building does not have a use classified as an "H" occupancy.
No "H" occupancy businesses can move into the building as long as
CrossFit Templar is located within the same building.
3. In multiple occupancy buildings, a material safety data sheet (MSDS) shall be
required identifying all materials stored or used in the operation of the tenant
businesses. Any change in building tenants shall require that the MSDS be updated
and provided to all other tenants in the multitenant building.
• Because the building is not classified as an "H" occupancy, this stipulation
does not apply.
4. A commercial recreational use in a shared tenancy building shall have its own
exterior entrance and exit.
• Each tenant in the multiple occupancy building has its own exterior
entrance and exit.
5. The site must be accessed via a collector street. Vehicular access points shall
create a minimum of conflict with through traffic movement, shall comply with
Chapter 19 of this title and shall be subject to the approval of the city engineer.
• Heron Way accesses Lakeville Boulevard, which is a major collector.
Vehicular access points were approved by the City Engineer as part of the
site plan review for this multiple tenant industrial building.
2
Chapter 11 -4 -7 of the Zoning Ordinance also requires conditional uses to meet the
following applicable provision:
Access and Parking: The site design for access and parking shall minimize internal
as well as external traffic conflicts and shall be in compliance with Chapter 19 of the
Zoning Ordinance.
• No changes are proposed for access to the site. Vehicle circulation and
access will function as previously designed.
• The hours of operation for the CrossFit facility are proposed to be from
5:30 to 7:30 am and from 4:00 to 6:00 pm on Mondays, Wednesdays and
Fridays and Saturdays from 7:00 to 9:00 am. Hours of operation are
generally off -peak times when the parking demand of adjacent tenants is
minimal.
• The zoning ordinance requires one space per exercise station and one
space per employee. The applicant is proposing 10 workout stations and
two employees for a total of 12 parking spaces required. The Party Bound
facility that previously occupied this space as a conditional use also
required 12 parking spaces.
RECOMMENDATION:
The proposed conditional use permit meets the provisions of the Zoning Ordinance as
outlined above and as indicated in the attached findings of fact. Staff recommends
approval of the conditional use permit for a commercial recreational facility in the 1 -1,
Light Industrial District contingent on the following stipulations:
1. The hours of operation must be limited to off -peak times when the parking demand
of adjacent tenants is minimal.
2. No "H" occupancy tenants are allowed in the multiple tenant industrial building as
long as the commercial recreation use is a tenant in the building.
3. A building permit must be issued by the Inspections Department prior to any
remodeling of the proposed tenant space.
4. A sign permit must be granted by the City prior to the installation of any signage.

Dear Council Members:
CROSSFIT TEMPLAR, LLC
6715 158th Street
Apple Valley, MN 55124
612 - 860 -4411

I am writing this letter as a supplement to our Conditional Use Permit application for 21034 Heron Way, Suite
107. I would like to take this opportunity to tell you who we are, what we do and describe our proposed inten-
tions in more detail.
CrossFit Templar, LLC (formerly CrossFit NorthStar, LLC) was founded in September 2009. CrossFit Templar
(CFT) is an affiliate of CrossFit HQ based in Santa Cruz, CA. At CFT our primary focus is to train athletes in
general physical preparedness utilizing constantly varied functional movements executed at a high intensity.
Currently, we have a 3,000 sq. ft. training facility in neighboring Apple Valley.
CFT has experienced steady growth since first opening its doors in November 2009. We have approximately
100 athletes of various backgrounds and physical abilities training at our Apple Valley facility. Since January
2012 we have experienced a 33% growth which is a testament to the growing popularity of the CrossFit method-
ology.
We have enjoyed great success in Apple Valley and would like to expand our business to Lakeville. We have a
large number of athletes who come from Lakeville, Farmington and the New Market/Elko area. An additional
Lakeville facility would be convenient for many current athletes and give us an opportunity to grow our business.
Site Plan: Suite 107 is approximately 3,000 sq. ft. 1,000 sq. ft. are dedicated to office space and 2,000 sq. ft.
are dedicated to warehouse space. CFT intends to use the 1,000 sq. ft. office space as a reception/break area
and private office. The warehouse is approximately 2,000 sq. ft. of which 500 sq. ft. will be dedicated to equip-
ment storage and exercise apparatus. The remaining 1,500 sq. ft. will be dedicated to an exercise area (see site
plan).
Occupancy: The 1,500 sq. ft. exercise area will be divided up into ten individual exercise stations which will ac-
commodate ten athletes at one time. Each individual exercise station will be approximately 12' x 12'. Our cur-
rent location in Apple Valley is of similar dimensions to suite 107. We have found that the 12' x 12' is a suitable
amount of space for our athletes to execute olympic weightlifting and gymnastic exercises safely (see individual
fitness station schematic).
Class Schedule: CFT's class schedule will be M, W and F, 0530 -0630, 0630 -0730, 1600 -1700, 1700 -1800. We
will have two classes on Saturday at 0700 -0800 and 0800 -0900. Tuesdays, Thursdays and Sundays the facility
will be closed for maintenance.
Parking: Our facility in Apple Valley is very similar to the Lakeville site in regard to parking space. A majority of
the classes are during off-peak hours so parking is never an issue and has very little impact on the adjacent
businesses.
EXHIBIT B
I look forward to the public hearings and meeting with the Lakeville City Council, and any citizens, to discuss our
application and proposed intentions. We appreciate your time and consideration.
Respectfully,
s _ _ a - 7- ea - -.
