AUTHORIZATION OF DISTRIBUTION AND PUBLISHED NOTICE OF THE DRAFT FIRST PARK
LAKEVILLE ALTERNATIVE URBAN AREAWIDE REVIEW UPDATE
March 3, 2014 City Council Meeting
Proposed Action
Staff recommends adoption of the following motion: Move to authorize the distribution and published
notice of the Draft Update of First Park Lakeville Alternative Urban Areawide Review (AUAR for the
site located at the southeast corner of Dodd Blvd. and CSAH 70.
Passage of this motion will result in the distribution of the draft AUAR Update for the proposed First
Park Development to the required review agencies and any citizens requesting a copy and publication in
the Environmental Quality Board (EQB) Monitor. Review agencies will have 10 days in which to
comment after it has been published in the EQB Monitor on March 17th.
Overview
A final Alternative Urban Areawide Review (AUAR) was approved for this 140 acre industrial
development in April of 2008. This type of environmental review was required under MN Rules because
of the size of the overall development. The 2013 Update is required by Minnesota Rules because more
than five years have passed since the City adopted the original AUAR and Mitigation Plan and the site
has not yet been fully developed. Trammel Crow Company is the current developer of First Park and
their master plan for the development of the remaining land is consistent with the 2008 approvals in terms
of building square footage, land use and off -site improvements.
The City is the Responsible Government Unit (RGU) in the preparation of the proposed AUAR Update.
City staff and staff at WSB Engineering and SRF have coordinated with Trammel Crow's consultant,
Westwood on the preparation of the Draft AUAR Update. A copy of the complete AUAR is included in
the Council's electronic packet.
Staff recommends that the Council move to authorize the distribution and publication of the AUAR
Update.
Primary Issues to Consider
Is the proposed development of this property consistent with the original approved AUAR? The type of
development being proposed is consistent with the original AUAR.

2013 Updated Mitigation Plan
For Alternative Urban Areawide Review
First Park Lakeville - Lakeville, Minnesota
This 2013 Updated Mitigation Plan is a component of the 2013 Updated Alternative Urban Areawide
Review (AUAR), prepared by the City of Lakeville, Minnesota, for the First Park Lakeville to be
developed by the Trammell Crow Company. The 2013 Update identifies the impacts anticipated to result
from the full development planned for the 140+ acre geographic area covered by the AUAR. This
Updated Mitigation Plan identifies the mitigation measures that will be followed by the City and/or other
responsible parties to avoid or mitigate potential environmental impacts.
The Updated Mitigation Plan was prepared in accordance with Environmental Quality Board
Environmental Review Program Rules and the Environmental Quality Board memorandum entitled,
Recommended Content and Format - Alternative Urban Areawide Review Documents. The original 2008
AUAR determined that the following development- related impacts required implementation of mitigation
measures to avoid or mitigate potential environmental impacts:
• traffic;
• impact on infrastructure and public services;
• additional mitigation measures.
Section III of this Mitigation Plan summarizes the updated potential environmental impacts and the
mitigation measures proposed to be implemented to avoid, minimize or compensate for each of the above
development - related impacts. Section III also includes information concerning the agency or agencies
involved in review, approval or implementation of specific mitigation measures; the timeframes for
implementing mitigation measures; and the party or parties financially responsible for implementing
mitigation measures.
The City of Lakeville is the Responsible Governmental Unit (RGU) for preparing and adopting the 2013
Updated AUAR and Updated Mitigation Plan. The City of Lakeville is also the governmental unit with
the greatest responsibility for supervising or approving development within the geographic area of the
AUAR. The City's review and approval of the Developer's AUAR plan, site plans, preliminary and final
plats, building permits and grading permits is the primary local government mechanism for ensuring
compliance with the mitigation measures identified in this Mitigation Plan. City approval of development
plans for the First Park Lakeville site also involves reaching agreement with the Trammell Crow
Company or its successors to ensure the detailed site development plans conform to the Updated AUAR
and Updated Mitigation Plan.
Attachment A - Final Mitigation Plan -R0001 957 City of Lakeville
First Park Lakeville November 8th, 2013 Page 2 of 1 1
The Updated AUAR also identifies other units of government that are likely to have plan review or permit
authority over the development proposed for the study area. These agencies include: Vermillion River
Watershed Joint Powers Organization (VRWJPO); Minnesota Department of Transportation (MnDOT);
Minnesota Department of Natural Resources (DNR); Minnesota Pollution Control Agency (MPCA);
Metropolitan Council Environmental Services (MCES); Minnesota Department of Health (MDH) and
Dakota County. In most cases, responsibility for obtaining required permits and approvals and for
implementing mitigation measures specified as conditions to such permits and approvals lies with the
Trammell Crow Company for the First Park Lakeville site.
Based on applicable Environmental Quality Board guidelines for preparation of an AUAR mitigation
plan, this section provides the following information for each area of potential environmental impact
identified in the AUAR: (1) summary of potential impacts; (2) planned mitigation measures; (3)
governmental programs that regulate mitigation plan preparation and compliance; (4) timeframes for
implementing mitigation measures; and (5) identification of party or parties with financial responsibility
for implementing mitigation measures.
1.0 TRAFFIC
1.1 Summary of Impacts
A Traffic Impact Study has been conducted to update potential transportation impacts associated
with the development of the First Park Lakeville AUAR site in the City of Lakeville, Dakota
County, Minnesota. This 2013 AUAR Update carries forward the alternative urban Areawide
review originally completed for this site in 2008. The following discussion summarizes the local
and regional impacts and potential mitigation strategies identified in the study. The full Traffic
Impact Study has been included as Attachment C of the 2013 AUAR Update document.
Two design years were identified for study: 2018, corresponding to the year after potential build -
out of the AUAR study area, and 2030 to coincide with Dakota County and MnDOT future
planning efforts. The Traffic Impact Study focused on the impacts to the Interstate 35 and CSAH
70 Interchange, CSAH 70, 9 and 23 as well as the following intersections:
➢ CSAH 70 & Keokuk Avenue
CSAH 70 & Interstate 35 Southbound Ramps
➢ CSAH 70 & Interstate 35 Northbound Ramps
CSAH 70 & Kenrick Avenue
➢ CSAH 70 & Kensington Boulevard
➢ CSAH 70 & 215th Street West
➢ CSAH 70 & Jacquard Avenue
➢ CSAH 70 & CSAH 9 (Dodd Boulevard)
225th Street West & CSAH 9
➢ 210th Street West & CSAH 9
➢ CSAH 70 & Holyoke Avenue
➢ CSAH 70 & Hamburg Avenue
➢ CSAH 70 & CSAH 23 (Cedar Avenue)
➢ CSAH 9 (Dodd Avenue) and 217th Street
➢ CSAH 9 (Dodd Avenue) and 220th Street
Attachment A - Final Mitigation Plan -R0001 957 City of Lakeville
First Park Lakeville November 8th, 2013 Page 3 of 1 1
Full development of the AUAR site includes 139.5 -acres of general office and warehousing land
uses. Two warehouse /light industrial uses have been constructed in the site since the previous
AUAR. The remainder of the site is to be comprised of office and warehouse land uses. For the
purposes of this study, it is anticipated that the AUAR Update site will be completed and fully
occupied by 2017.
The review of the traffic conditions includes an assessment of the No -Build conditions and Build
conditions for the 2018 and 2030 design years. An estimate of infrastructure enhancements to
accommodate each design scenario is detailed.
The growth potential included in the No -Build conditions considered the development of
potential properties in the study area along with an annual background growth rate, which are
detailed further in the full Traffic Impact Study.
Based on review of Dakota County's 2030 Transportation Plan and discussions with County staff,
the following improvement on the roadway network can be expected as funding has been
obtained and current plans for construction are underway:
Reconstruction of CSAH 9 (Dodd Blvd) from CSH 46/2 in Scott County to CSAH 70 in
Lakeville -- This project comprises the reconstruction of County Road 9 (Dodd Boulevard)
from Scott County Road 2 to just south of County Road 70. County Road 9 will still be a 2-
lane highway, but will have paved shoulders along the entire length and turn lanes or bypass
lanes at intersections. Construction is scheduled to begin spring 2014. Roadway plans
detailing the layout and geometry have been obtained from Dakota County and are
incorporated in the 2018 No -Build Conditions.
(Note that left and right turn lanes were already constructed as part of the construction of 217th
Street, and the southbound left turn lane has already been constructed as part of 220th Street
construction. The First Park property owner has already contributed funds toward the
construction of the northbound right turn lane at 220th Street, with completion of that lane to
occur with the overall CSAH 9 project construction in 2014.)
1.2 Improvement and Mitigation Measures
By 2018, under the No -Build conditions, the roadway network cannot accommodate the increase
in background traffic without improvements at many intersections. The following is a summary
of the suggested improvements needed by 2020 to accommodate the growth in background
traffic:
The following roadway improvement is considered a County potential improvement or "need ".
This potential improvement is not part of the current five -year Capital Improvement Project (CIP)
as funding has not been identified, but the improvement may possibly be constructed by 2030.
Widening of CSAH 70 -- The potential for widening of CSAH 70 just east of Kensington
Boulevard to CSAH 23 from two -lanes undivided to four -lanes divided is on the future
project agenda for Dakota County. Originally, preliminary design for this improvement was
in the 2008 -2012 program, but has been postponed to some point in the future due to funding
shortfalls and higher priority projects in the County. As volumes increase on CSAH 70 due
to background growth, this project will become a higher priority.
Attachment A - Final Mitigation Plan -R0001 957 City of Lakeville
First Park Lakeville November 8th, 2013 Page 4 of 1 1
In the 2008 AUAR, it was reported that Dakota County had identified the potential need for
future widening of CSAH 9 from CSAH 50 to the Lakeville /Eureka border. The County's 2030
Transportation Plan now indicates that the segment of CSAH 9 will not be a capacity deficiency
in 2030. Therefore, the 2030 network has been adjusted to reflect a two -lane roadway with turn
lanes at intersections for CSAH 9 south of CSAH 70.
2018 No -Build Scenario
Operations of the 2018 No -Build PM Peak Hour roadway network are for the most part
acceptable. For the PM peak hour, overall intersection and worst movement LOS is D or better
and all 95th percentile queues are accommodated by the roadway geometry. The following
details potential improvements for each intersection for consideration in future County need
programming:
➢ CSAH 70 and Kensington Blvd.
For the 2018 No Build PM Peak Hour Conditions, the CSAH 70 & Kensington left turn
movement operates at LOS -E or —F in PM Peak Hour. These movements are improved
to LOS -C if operation is changed to flashing yellow arrow.
➢ CSAH 70 and Hamburg
In addition, the unsignalized intersection of CSAH 70 & Hamburg operates at LOS -d,
with the eastbound movements operating at LOS-f. This intersection level of service
improves to LOS -B if signalized, with each movement also improving to LOS -B or
better.
2030 No -Build Scenario
The capacity analysis of the 2030 No -Build roadway network has identified several unacceptable
intersection operations. Many intersections experience LOS E or F with extensive 95th percentile
queues. The following details potential improvements for each intersection for consideration in
future County need programming:
➢ CSAH 70 and Keokuk (South of CSAH 70)
Overall operations of this side - street (Keokuk) stop- controlled intersection are LOS A
with failing minor movements. With construction of the north leg of this intersection
connecting to the segment of Keokuk near of the theatres, combined with the land use
development in these areas, will likely warrant signalization at CSAH 70 & Keokuk.
Operation improves to LOS D or better for this intersection.
➢ CSAH 70 and 215th Street
Overall operations of this side - street (215th Street) stop- controlled intersection are LOS
A with failing minor movements. Due to minimal 95th percentile queuing there is no
need for improvements at this intersection.
➢ CSAH 70 and Jacquard Avenue
For the 2030 No Build conditions, a need has been identified for CSAH 70 to be
improved to 4 -lanes divided from the Stepka Access to the existing roadway taper that is
approximately 600 feet east of the Kensington Boulevard. Additionally, all turn lanes
may need to be lengthened to 300 feet at this intersection. This capacity deficiency for
Attachment A - Final Mitigation Plan -R0001 957 City of Lakeville
First Park Lakeville November 8th, 2013 Page 5 of 1 1
CSAH 70 has been identified in the 2030 County Transportation Plan, and is listed as a
highway expansion need to four lanes.
➢ CSAH 70 and Stepka Access
Overall operations of this side - street ( Stepka Access) stop - controlled intersection are
LOS A with failing minor movements. Due to minimal 95th percentile queuing there is
no need for improvements at this intersection.
➢ CSAH 70 and CSAH 9
2030 Background forecast conditions suggest improvements may be needed in the form
of dual eastbound left turn lanes with protected phasing to accommodate the high volume
of PM peak hour eastbound left turns (169 vehicles). If the dual eastbound left turn lanes
are provided, two northbound through lanes will be needed on the north leg of the
intersection. The two northbound through lanes could be tapered down to one
northbound lane starting approximately 500 feet north of the intersection.
➢ CSAH 9 and 210th Street West
Operations of this all -way stop - controlled intersection are failing under the forecast 2030
No Build Conditions. Traffic control modifications, such as the installation of a traffic
signal (the predicted 2030 No Build traffic volumes satisfy peak hour volume warrants),
may be appropriate.
➢ CSAH 70 and Holyoke Avenue
Overall operations of this side -street stop- controlled intersection are LOS A with failing
minor movements with low volumes. Due to the low side -street volumes and short 95th
percentile queue lengths, no needs (improvements) are recommended for this
intersection.
➢ CSAH 70 and Hamburg Avenue
Traffic control modifications are needed that this intersection. If warrants are satisfied by
future traffic volumes, then a signal may be necessary.
➢ CSAH 70 and Cedar Avenue
Traffic control modifications are needed that this intersection. The future alignment of
this intersection is highly contingent on the future of CSAH 70 to the east of Cedar. If
CSAH 70 extends to Farmington, as is ultimately envisioned, the traffic needs of this
intersection will change significantly, as forecast traffic will also increase. In the interim,
a redesign of the eastbound leg to exclusive left, shared left -thru and exclusive right lanes
will improve intersection operation.
2018 Build Scenario
Operations of the 2018 Build roadway network are acceptable. For the AM peak hour, overall
intersection and worst movement LOS is D or better and all 95th percentile queues are
accommodated by the roadway geometry. No mitigation measures are recommended for the
2018 Build Conditions.
For the 2018 Build PM peak hour, all intersections operate at LOS -C or better, but there are some
intersections that record movements that operate at LOS -E or —F. The two signalized
intersections with Kenrick Avenue show left turn movements that operate at LOS -E, but each
movement improves to LOS -C if operation is switched to flashing yellow arrow control. The
Attachment A - Final Mitigation Plan -R0001 957 City of Lakeville
First Park Lakeville November 8th, 2013 Page 6 of 1 1
three unsignalized intersections of CSAH 70 and 215th, Holyoke and Hamburg record
movements of LOS -F due to the delay caused by stop sign control. The cross - street volumes are
minimal at 215th and at Holyoke, so the predominant flow is on CSAH 70. These operations are
acceptable as the side - streets are the minor movements and the 95th queuing is minimal.
➢ CSAH 70 & Hamburg
Signal warrants are likely met, which would improve intersection operation to LOS -B /C.
Eastbound left turn modification at CSAH 70 and Cedar would improve left turn
operation to LOS -D or better.
CSAH 9 and CSAH 70 at the proposed site accesses (217th Street, 220th Street onto CSAH 9 and
Humboldt Road on CSAH 70) are included with the site design of the development and have been
included in the analysis. Each operates at acceptable levels of service.
2030 Build Scenario
Overall intersections operations of the 2030 Build roadway network are acceptable. For both the
AM and the PM peak hours, overall intersection operation is LOS is D or better and all 95th
percentile queues are accommodated by the roadway geometry. The minor movements at 215th
Street, at the Stepka Access, and at Holyoke on CSAH 70 and 217th Street on CSAH 9 show
failing side - street operations. These operations are acceptable as the side - streets are the minor
movements and the 95th queuing is minimal.
It is once again noted that the construction of right and left turn lanes on CSAH 9 and CSAH 70
at the proposed site accesses (217th Street and 220th Street on CSAH 9, and Humboldt Road on
CSAH 70) are included with the site design of the development and have been included in the
analysis.
Operational analyses of the CSAH 70 /CSAH 9 intersection indicate there may be insufficient
capacity to accommodate the anticipated demand. The mitigation measure of installation of an
additional northbound left turn lane at the CSAH 70 /CSAH 9 signalized intersection is suggested
to accommodate the increase in traffic estimated to make this left turn movement (219 vehicles).
To accommodate the suggested dual northbound left turn lanes, CSAH 70 would need to be
widened to four lanes from the Stepka Access to CSAH 9. Additionally, it is suggested that the
dual eastbound and single westbound left turn lanes on CSAH 70 be lengthened to 350'. For the
dual northbound turn lanes, 250' of storage is adequate with the predicted truck traffic.
Similar to previous analyses, the site - street operations at the Stepka Access, 217th Street, 220th
Street, Humboldt Road Access and Holyoke Avenue show failing operations. However, these are
all minor movements and intersections operate acceptably with overall LOS A and minimal 95th
percentile queues. These types of operations are typical for side - street stop controlled
intersection with high priority /high volume roadways.

Timeframe for Implementation of Mitigation
Improvements required to support development - related impacts will be implemented in
conjunction with each phase of development.
Financially ponsible Party/Parties
The responsible parties for funding will be the developer for the mitigation discussed
above.
2.0 IMPACT ON INFRASTRUCTURE AND PUBLIC SERVICES
2.1 Summary of Impacts
Roadways will be impacted by traffic generated by the industrial developments within the
project site and outside the project site as described in Section 1.2 Roadway Needs and
Mitigation Measures.
2.2 Mitigation Measures
Traffic mitigation measures are described in the traffic section of this Mitigation Plan.
2.3 Implementation Information
Traffic implementation information is described in the traffic section of this Mitigation
Plan.
3.0 ADDITIONAL MITIGATION MEASURES
3.1 Wetlands
Where wetlands exist on the site, a natural vegetative buffer averaging 50 -foot (minimum 25-
foot) is provided to preserve and protect the wetland. The wetland buffer also assists in
stormwater management.
3.2 Stormwater Management
The First Park Lakeville project proposes an integrated stormwater management system to
provide runoff rate control, water quality, infiltration, and sediment removal consistent with City,
and Watershed requirements. The development will also comply with the Minnesota Pollution
Control Agency (MPCA) requirements for trout stream protection with respect to stormwater
runoff, as required in the MPCA Construction Stormwater (CSW) Permit. Stormwater basins
will be designed to provide total suspended solids and total phosphorous removal efficiencies to
the maximum extent possible. Surface water runoff temperatures will be controlled by utilizing
on -site infiltration and by designing a stormwater management system that will limit temperature
increase thru vegetation shading, infiltration design, submerged outlet devices, and other
acceptable measures.
Attachment A - Final Mitigation Plan -R0001 957 City of Lakeville
First Park Lakeville November 8th, 2013 Page 8 of 1 1
The development will meet the volume control requirements of the Watershed (Vermillion River
Watershed Joint Powers Organization) of a no net increase in runoff volume for a 2 year 24 hour
storm. This will be achieved by encouraging Best Management Practices such as infiltration /
rain gardens, vegetative swales, infiltration basins; and where feasible, within private
development, perforated storm sewer and porous pavement.
The City will track, measure and document rate, volume, and water quality results by requiring
said analysis from Developer for overall development and will reevaluate analysis as individual
parcels are developed. This requirement will be met through the City of Lakeville's plat approval
process.
3.3 Erosion Control
A Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan will be prepared, as required, as development occurs.
During construction, erosion control measures will likely include silt fencing, rock checks,
temporary seeding and mulching, temporary rock construction entrances, and slope
stabilization/erosion control fabric. Permanent BMP's will include prompt sodding /seeding,
mulching, and erosion control blanket of disturbed areas. Stormwater basins and outlet structures
will be designed, graded and surfaced to minimize sediment transportation. The proposed
stormwater basins will have adequate capacity to provide storage and sedimentation management
for stormwater runoff during construction and from the entire fully developed site.
3.4 Noise
Noise analysis is a "worst case" modeling of potential future noise levels. By "worst case ", it is
meant that natural noise barriers (elevations, existing tree lines, berms, etc.) were not considered
in the evaluation. The model demonstrates that any potential future noise impacts come
predominately from proposed development on other sites in the area and from growth in traffic on
adjacent roadways. Results of the noise analysis could be used as a factor to consider when
planning the layout of future developments (i.e. locations of residential and commercial
structures, noise mitigation features such as berms and tree lines, etc.). Noise analysis and
modeling receptors were selected based on proximity to the selected intersections and known
sensitive receptors (residential areas). The intersections were selected based on level of service
and proximity to the project. Land use for selected receptors was based on current land use and
proposed land use relative to the proposed development. Future land use has not been sufficiently
defined in other undeveloped areas. The City will work with Dakota County to evaluate potential
noise mitigation when CSAH 70 is upgraded in the future. Potential mitigation measures could
include berming and planting as well as building placement.
3.5 Building/Lighting Restrictions
The First Park Lakeville site is located west of property owned by the Metropolitan Airports
Commission (MAC) and the Airlake Airport. A portion of the site is located within State Safety
Zone B for the Airport. This safety zone limits construction activity within the zone. Height
restrictions will apply to building heights and illumination to site lighting within the
development. These restrictions are governed by City and State codes.

The AUAR and Mitigation Plan identify potential environmental impacts and mitigation measures to
avoid or mitigate identified impacts based on the best information currently available concerning planned
development in the study area. However, as specific development plans are completed and more
information becomes available, or as regulatory requirements change, environmental concerns or issues
that differ from those addressed in the AUAR or Mitigation Plan may be identified. Also, new
information concerning feasible and practicable mitigation measures may be developed after adoption of
this Mitigation Plan. In these instances, development plans will be reviewed to identify measures to
avoid or mitigate potential environmental impacts consistent with the new information, while maintaining
the basic intent and process identified in this Mitigation Plan. As required by Environmental Quality
Board regulations (Minn. Rules Pt. 4410.3610, subp. 7), the AUAR and the Mitigation Plan will be
revised if any of the specific circumstances enumerated in state regulation apply.
