Summerlyn North Preliminary Plat Jim Stanton, Shamrock Development, requested Council approval of the Summerlyn North preliminary plat. Mr. Morey presented the proposed preliminary plat for the development of 62 single - family residential lots on approximately 34.5 acres located south of 190x'' Street and west of Holyoke Avenue. He stated the Planning Commission held a public hearing and unanimously recommended approval. Staff recommends approval of the preliminary plat subject to a stipulation that the final plat include any additional right -of -way for 190' Street and /or Holyoke Avenue identified by the 190' Street reconstruction study. Council Member Anderson asked about the status of meetings with the developers regarding the 190 Street /Holyoke Avenue intersection. He also asked about the water tower siting with relation to the Summerlyn North development. Mr. Mielke stated staff has communicated with and received input from both property owners, Mr. Schweich and Mr. Stanton, and will summarize the potential options for the Council's consideration at its January 28 work session. He further stated that the location of a water tower in this area is a secondary decision to be made after the location of the road is determined, and this will be explained in more detail at the January 28`'' work session. One potential location for the water tower is within the Summerlyn North development. The developer and the future buyer of that property have indicated to staff that they would not support a water tower at that location. Mr. Mielke pointed out that the City's Water Supply Plan calls for the water tower to be constructed and operational by the year 2016. Council Member Davis stated he participated in the discussions with Mr. Schweich and Mr. Stanton and agreed that the Council needs to make a decision on the intersection design prior City Council Meeting Minutes, January 21, 2014 Page 4 to determining a location for the water tower. He further stated that he supported approval of the preliminary plat, given staff s recommendation that the preliminary plat can be approved subject to the stipulation regarding additional right -of -way for 190' Street and /or Holyoke Avenue. Mr. Stanton stated the future buyer, Lennar, is opposed to constructing a water tower on any of the Summerlyn North lots. Motion was made by Davis, seconded by Swecker to approve the preliminary plat of Summerlyn North, subject to the stipulation that the final plat shall include any additional right -of -way for 190' Street and /or Holyoke Avenue identified by the 190 Street reconstruction study as approved by the City Council. Roll call was taken on the motion. Ayes — Little, Swecker, Anderson, LaBeau, Davis 8. Kyla Crossing Preliminary Plat Bill Ryan, CNC Development, requested approval of the Kyla Crossing preliminary plat. Mr. Morey presented the proposed preliminary plat of 40 single family lots and six outlots on a 15 -acre parcel located northeast of Kenwood Trail and west of Ipava Avenue. The four existing buildings located on the property, the former Cross Nursery business, will be removed when the site is developed. Mr. Morey explained that a variance was originally requested for seven of the 40 lots within Kyla Crossing because Dakota County is requiring 31 feet of additional right -of -way for Kenwood Trail due to the location of the railroad on the west side. The Planning Commission did not recommend approval of the variance. Planning Department staff reached out to the Dakota County Plat Commission, who supported staffs recommendation that the easterly 15 feet be dedicated as a trail easement for the future paved trail along Kenwood Trail instead of right -of -way in the area of Lots 1 -5, Block 5, eliminating the need for a lot depth /setback variance for those lots. The developer was able to make modifications to the preliminary plat that eliminated the need for a lot width variance for Lot 1, Block 1 and Lot 1, Block 2. As such, a variance is no longer being requested by the developer. Mr. Morey referenced the letter dated January 17, 2014 from George Warweg's attorney regarding the 7+ acres Mr. Warweg owns south and east of the Kyla Crossing plat. It states that Mr. Warweg has no objection to the Kyla Crossing plat but expects and trusts that the Kyla Crossing plat, as a single family residential development, will not have adverse consequences for his property's access to Ipava Avenue and its development in accordance with uses allowed in Lakeville's RM -2, Medium - Density Residential District. City Council Meeting Minutes, January 21, 2014 Page 5 Mr. Morey explained that the ghost plat shows, conceptually, how the Warweg property could lay out in the future, and the conceptual layout includes a connection to Ipava Avenue. Council Member LaBeau requested clarification regarding the ghost plat and whether the trail easement for the future paved trail along Kenwood Trail would also be applied to the Warweg property when it develops. Mr. Morey stated that the Dakota County Plat Commission only responded to the Kyla Crossing preliminary plat and did not discuss a trail easement for the Warweg property. A reasonable assumption could be made that the County would agree to continue the trail easement; however, that decision will be made, if necessary, when the Warweg property develops. Council Member Anderson asked about noise protection for the lots that back up to Kenwood Trail. Mr. Morey explained that the City's standard buffer yard requirements are being applied to those lots, which includes additional lot depth and a berm or landscaping to a minimum height of 10 feet. Motion was made by Anderson, seconded by LaBeau to approve the preliminary plat of Kyla Crossing. Roll call was taken on the motion. Ayes - Swecker, Anderson, LaBeau, Davis, Little 11.
