ITEM 11 Aaron & Adam Wakefield requested Council approval of the preliminary and final. plat of one lot and two outlots to be known as Kenrick Pond. CITY OF LAKEVILLE COUNCIL MEETING DECEMBER 6, 2004 PAGE S Mr. Dempsey. explained that the developer, Wakefield Properties, LLC, is proposing to construct a 14,827 square foot multi-tenant retail building on property located south of County Road 46 and north of the Lakeville .Town Office commercial development. The development includes the vacation of excess 164th Street and Jewel Avenue right of way, as well. as the existing drainage and utility easements located within the subject property.. All required underlying drainage and utility easements that are vacated will be re-established with the Kenrick Pond final plat. Kenrick Pond is proposed to have road frontage and access on 164tH Street. There will be no direct access to any adjacent residential areas. Landscape screening wi11 be installed on a two to five foot tall berm .between the parking lot and the residential area to the east. The existing trees and proposed landscaping will adequately screen the residential area from the Kenrick Pond development. Mr. Dempsey stated the. Planning Commission held a public hearing on the proposed development, and one resident questioned whether there would be a road connection between the Crystal Ridge Estates single- family homes and the Kenrick Pond development. The Planning Commission and staff verified that there would be no road connection to Crystal Ridge Estates. The Planning Commission recommended approval of the preliminary and final plat and easement vacation subject to it stipulations. Council Member Wulff was concerned with commercial development next to a residential area and whether the proposed landscape screening would be adequate. She suggested that staff field verify the need for additional trees if there are gaps in .the landscape screening after grading is completed. Mr. Dempsey stated staff would work with the developer to address this issue. Mayor Johnson asked what. types of businesses are expected to be located in this building. The developers stated they expect a coffee/sandwich shop, and .possibly another food establishment. Council Member Wulff asked if there would be sufficient parking if the entire building were to be leased to establishments serving food. Mr. Dempsey stated staff will. review the proposed tenant users to ensure adequate parking is provided. Staff will also work with the developer to manage the types of uses and limit the number of high intense uses to ensure adequate parking is provided. CITY OF LAKEVILLE COUNCIL MEETING DECEMBER 6, 2004 PAGE 6 i Council Member Luick asked if the developers concur with Council Member Wulff's recommendation for the field verification of trees to fill in any landscape gaps. The developers concurred. 04.155 Motion was made by Luick, seconded by Wulff to approve Resolution Noy 04-256 approving. the preliminary and final plat of Kenrick Pond; and Resolution No. 04-257 vacating public road right-of-way, drainage and utility easements. Roll call was taken on the motion. Ayes, Johnson, Wulff, Luick, Bellows. UNFINISHED BUSINESS None NEW BUSINESS Mr. Mielke provided an update on the King Park Athletic Complex and clarified recent information concerning amulti-rink ice facility. He explained that a development agreement and ground lease agreement has been approved for the King Park Athletic Complex, contingent upon an agreement by the City, with or without a partner, to build an ice arena. A feasibility study showed a need for an additional sheet of ice in Lakeville. Building that sheet of ice with the King Park Athletic Complex maximizes the public's investment for the private dollars being invested in that facility. The additional rink would help serve the needs of the Lakeville Hockey Association, both Lakeville high schools and could provide ice time for figure skating and. learn to skate programs, which are not currently offered in Lakeville. Mr. Mielke clarified the misconception that the King Park ice facility is inadequately designed, stating the facility has not yet been designed,. as the partners have not yet. been identified. He explained that all three sheets of ice should be managed together in order to maximize efficiency of the operations. The feasibility study does not justify a fourth sheet of ice at this time; however, the King Park Complex has the ability to add a fourth sheet of ice in the future. Because of the public/private venture, the King Park Athletic Complex would also include a competitive swimming facility with locker rooms and necessary equipment. The developer has also agreed, through the public/private venture, to construct and maintain the parking lot for the complex. There is also the potential for a covered dome as part of the complex to serve soccer, lacrosse and football teams, providing benefits to a greater percentage of the community. CITY OF LAKEVILLE COUNCIL MEETING DECEMBER 6, 2004 PAGE 7 Mr. Mielke clarified that a proposed super-rink complex containing four to five sheets of ice, which is currently being proposed in Cudahy, Wisconsin, would not be justified in Lakeville. The Wisconsin facility would be supported by more than $28 million in tax increment financing, a public financing tool that is not legal in Minnesota for this use. The developers for this super-rink proposal have not yet identified funding sources for such a facility in Lakeville.. Mr. Mielke stated that a decision as to whether the King Park Athletic Complex will proceed, which is contingent upon an agreement for an ice rink, will need to be made by the end of December so that construction can begin next year.
