7. Ordinance Amendment, Multi- Generation Housing and Automobile Dealership Signage
Mr. Morey presented a proposed ordinance amending Title 11 of the City Code related to
multi - generation housing and new automobile dealership signage. Representatives of
Lennar osed a plan for multiple generation housing that includes an accessory
liven rea wit ' single family dwelling. The additional quarters consists of separate
living /dining be f&om and bathroom areas that are connected to the main living area by a
rway. There# also a direct exterior entrance to the additional quarters. The additional
li quarters, may also include kitchen and /or laundry facilities. From the exterior, the
desip nstruction of the building is undistinguishable from a single family dwelling
This ty'of housing would be allowed by administrative permit and would require
with specific performance standards.
The second part of this proposed ordinance concerns automobile dealership signage. The
Jeff Belzer dealership presented a request to allow additional wall signs to meet the branding
requirements for their multiple brand dealerships. The consensus of the Planning
Commission was that new automobile sales uses have unique signage needs in cases where a

single principal building is used for sales of multiple vehicle manufacturers and brands. The
Planning Commission also recognized that the City has, in the past, incorporated signage
allowances within the Zoning Ordinance for specific land uses, such as commercial
buildings with multiple tenants. The proposed ordinance allows one freestanding sign for
each new vehicle manufacturer. The area and height of the freestanding sign would be up to
100 square feet and 20 feet tall, consistent with other C -2 District uses. The proposed wall
sign provisions are based on existing language in the Zoning Ordinance regarding principal
buildings having a gross floor area of 45,000 square feet or larger, which would apply to the
Jeff Belzer dealership.
Council Member Swecker questioned the number of garage stalls required for the multi -
generation housing, noting that the proposed ordinance requires three garage stalls. That

Q
Purchase of Property Located at 19986 Kenwood Trail
Mr. Olson presented a resolution approving the acquisition of property located at 19986
Kenwood Trail. He explained that the City worked with the Dakota County Community
Development Agency (CDA) on the acquisition of this property from the Federal Home
Loan Mortgage Corporation (Freddie Mac). The CDA and City negotiated a purchase price
of $132,000. The CDA has a signed purchase agreement with Freddie Mac and is currently
working with the listing broker on an addendum assigning this purchase agreement to the
City. If Freddie Mac does not approve the assignment, the CDA will close on the property,

property for future development of the adjacent land and for any future improvements to
Kenwood Trail. The entire cost of this property acquisition and clearance will be funded
with federal Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) funds.
In response to a question by Council Member LaBeau, Mr. Olson stated that all closing costs
