CITIZENS' COMMENTS Falicia Swanson, 20833 Jacquard Avenue, spoke on behalf of several residents in attendance regarding plans for the extension of Jacquard Avenue south of 210th Street to the new Lakeville South High School. • She asked the Council to reconsider these plans. She stated. that while CITY OF LAKEVILLE COUNCIL MEETING AUGUST 2, 2004 Page 2 • Jacquard Avenue has recently been referred to as a collector roadway, the reality is that Jacquard Avenue is a residential street and is not conducive to high volume traffic that will result with the opening of the new high school. She presented two options for modification of the plans, which would. help minimize the volume and speed of traffic on Jacquard Avenue. Option 1 would involve a median at the intersection of Jacquard Avenue and 210t" Street that would not allow through traffic on Jacquard Avenue or left hand turns from 210t" Street. Option 2 would involve a split median that restricts through traffic on Jacquard Avenue. She asked the Council to consider one of these options. Mayor Johnson stated the City. Engineer and City's traffic consultant will review the proposed options with respect to transportation standards and cost implications. He pointed out that if the. high school were not being constructed on this site, the land would have been developed for single-family housing, and Jacquard Avenue would have been extended to that neighborhood. Single-family homes would likely generate more traffic than a high school would. Mayor Johnson stated the City Engineer and City Administrator will review the options presented by the • residents and follow up with Ms. Swanson.

ITEM 8 Don Volk requested council approval of a resolution approving final plans and specifications and setting a bid date for construction of the Central Maintenance Facility. He stated the facility will be located on a 40-acre site at the intersection of 179t" Street and Cedar Avenue and will house the Street and Park Maintenance Departments. Mr. Ed Kodet of Kodet Architectural Group presented final plans for the Central Maintenance Facility. The facility is approximately 124,000 square feet in size and offers future expansion areas. The site plan includes a row of coniferous trees to the west and south, which will serve as screening from the adjacent residential area. The site will .include retention ponds for water quality, storage bins along the south side of the building for gravel, blacktop, etc. and a fueling station. The specifications include add alternates for a fueling station canopy, a sand/salt storage building and bi-fold garage doors. The construction cost is estimated at approximately $13 million. Mayor Johnson asked if any changes were made to the plans since they were presented to the City Council at a recent work session. Mr. Volk stated there were some minor changes made, primarily related to code requirements. Mr. Volk explained that the site requires a conditional use permit, which will be forwarded to the City Council upon review by the Planning Commission. Approval of the final plans and specifications should be contingent upon approval of the conditional use permit. He explained • that the reason the bidding process is being expedited is so that CITY OF LAKEVILLE COUNCIL MEETING AUGUST 2, 2004 Page 4 construction can begin this year to achieve a September 2005 completion. 04.104 Motion was made by Luick, seconded by Bellows to approve Resolution No. 04-154 approving final plans and specifications and setting a bid date for construction of a Central Maintenance Facility, pending approval of the conditional use permit. Roll call was taken on the motion. Ayes, Johnson, Wulff, Rieb, Luick, Bellows. Mr. Feller presented a resolution calling a public hearing on the adoption of a five-year Capital Improvement Plan and the issuance of Capital Improvement Bonds to finance the construction of a Central Maintenance Facility. He explained that the Capital Improvement Plan budget was based on the 2001 Central Maintenance Facility Study prepared by Black & Veatch. Since the estimated costs have increased, the Capital Improvement Plan will need to be amended to reflect the actual costs of this project. Mr. Feller explained that the total project cost is approximately $15,671,472, which includes land acquisition, 179t" Street improvements and bond issuance costs. Financing for the project is being provided from the building fund, storm sewer trunk fund, water trunk fund, and capital improvement bond financing. Bonds would be issued fora 25- year term, with the first levy payable in 2005. The estimated annual tax levy is approximately $803,000, which will impact an average residential home by approximately $44 per year. In order to issue Capital Improvement Bonds for the project, the City must conduct a public hearing. It is recommended that the public hearing be held at the September 7t" Council meeting. 04.105 Motion was made by Luick, seconded by Wulff to approve Resolution No. 04-iS5 calling a .public hearing on the adoption of the five-year Capital Improvement Plan and approval of the issuance of Capital Improvement Bonds pursuant to Minnesota Statutes, Section 475.521. Roll call was taken on the motion. Ayes, Wulff, Rieb, Luick, Bellows, Johnson. s CITY OF LAKEVILLE COUNCIL MEETING AUGUST 2, 2004 Page 5 ITEM 9 Bob Solfelt, President of Mount Development Company, requested Council approval of the final plat of Kenrick Commons, a 19,000 square foot multi-tenant retail center located at I-35 and County Road 46. Associate Planner Erin Seeman presented the proposed development of Kenrick Commons, which includes a preliminary and final plat, conditional use permit to allow a convenience food establishment with a drive-thru window, and the vacation of public drainage and utility easements in Jackson's First Addition. The Planning Commission and the Parks, Recreation and Natural Resources Committee recommended approval of Kenrick Commons subject to the inclusion of an eight-foot concrete sidewalk along Kenrick Avenue from CSAH 46 to Kenrick Loop.

The Planning Commission held a public hearing on the Kenrick Commons • preliminary and final plat and conditional use permit and unanimously recommended approval. The Planning Commission held a second public hearing on the vacation of public drainage and utility easements in Jackson's 1~ Addition.
