Scott Schlink was not in attendance at this time. Planning Commission Meeting Minutes, November 20, 2014 Page 3 Associate Planner Frank Dempsey presented the planning report. Mr. Dempsey stated that Scott Schlink has submitted an application for the vacation of public road right of way and the vacation of a five foot wide utility easement dedicated with the McNearney and Larson Addition plat in 1960. He indicated that Mr. Schlink’s plan is to build a detached garage in the area of the vacated road right of way. Mr. Dempsey explained that the right of way that Mr. Schlink is requesting to be vacated represents the north half of the future 205th Street that was planned to be extended to the west of Hamburg Avenue. Due to the plat of Village Creek 4th Addition, approved in 2012, and the plat of Aronson Bluff, approved in 2013, the use of the subject right of way for street purposes is no longer necessary. Mr. Dempsey stated that the five foot wide utility easement along the west boundary of the lot is also proposed to be vacated and will be re-established with a 10 foot wide drainage and utility easement around the perimeter of Mr. Schlink’s parcel and the vacated right of way in compliance with standard lot boundary easement dedication. Mr. Dempsey indicated that there are no identified City utilities within the proposed area to be vacated and the utility companies have responded with no concerns.

Ms. Jenson indicated that the second easement is located on the south side of the property. 198th Street is a rural gravel section of roadway within an easement that provides access to two existing homes located south of the Legacy 1st Addition final plat. The existing easement is proposed to be vacated and will be replaced with platted right-of-way on the Legacy 1st Addition final plat. Ms. Jenson stated that approval of the vacation request will be contingent upon the recording of the final plat. If Shamrock Development chooses not to move forward and record the Legacy 1st Addition final plat, then the easements will not be vacated. Ms. Jenson indicated that she had received one phone call from a resident with questions regarding the easement vacation. Planning Commission Meeting Minutes, November 20, 2014 Page 5 Ms. Jenson stated that Planning Department staff recommends approval of the easement vacation subject to the stipulation listed in the November 12, 2014 planning report.

Darren Kermes Chair Lillehei opened the public hearing to consider the application of Darren Kermes for the following, located at 19115 Orchard Trail: A. Conditional Use Permit to allow an expansion of a legal non-conforming single family home in the Shoreland overlay District of Lake Marion; and B. Variance from the 75 foot setback requirement from the Lake Marion Ordinary High Water Level (OHWL). Darren Kermes presented a brief overview of his request. He commented they are proposing to construct a main floor laundry room/mud room, guest bathroom and closet space in addition to the new garage. Associate Planner Frank Dempsey presented the planning report. Mr. Dempsey stated the Mr. Kermes is requesting a CUP and variance because the non- conforming house is being expanded and a portion of the house does not meet the 75 foot setback requirement to the Lake Marion Ordinary High Water Level (OHWL). Mr. Dempsey indicated that the proposed construction would include a 192 square Planning Commission Meeting Minutes, November 20, 2014 Page 6 foot main floor laundry room, guest bathroom and closet space. The new garage would be constructed on the north side of the expanded living area. Mr. Dempsey indicated that the house meets the side yard setback requirement and the lot meets the minimum lot area requirement. Mr. Dempsey indicated that the Zoning Ordinance requires any non-conformities be brought into compliance where possible or the non-conformity be reduced or minimized. He reviewed the current non-conformities and stated staff recommends that the applicant seal the well and remove the driveway encroachment over the west property line as a means of reducing the non-conformities on the property. He indicated that Mr. Kermes may want to comment on the stipulations. Mr. Dempsey reviewed the CUP and variance criteria of the Zoning Ordinance, which are explained in the November 13, 2014 planning report. City staff concluded that the application meets the Zoning Ordinance criteria subject to the stipulations listed in the planning report. Mr. Dempsey added that the DNR was notified of the proposed CUP and variance. No comments were received from the DNR. Mr. Dempsey stated that Planning Department staff recommends approval of the conditional use permit and variance subject to the six stipulations listed in the November 13, 2014 planning report. Chair Lillehei opened the hearing to the public for comment. Mr. Kermes returned to the podium to comment on the stipulations listed in the November 13, 2014 planning report. He indicated that he has no objection to removing the driveway encroachment over the west property line, but he respectfully requested to do this when the Orchard Trail reconstruction project was completed and not have to submit a $1,000 security. He also commented on the stipulation to have the well sealed. He indicated that the only purpose of the well is for irrigation and he felt it was doing no harm where it is located. There were no comments from the audience. Motion was made by Swenson, seconded by Maguire to close the public hearing at 6:31 p.m. Ayes: Swenson, Maguire, Lillehei, Reuvers, Kaluza, Drotning Nays: 0 Chair Lillehei asked for comments from the Planning Commission. Discussion points included: • The Planning Commission discussed the applicant’s request to not be required to cap his well and to not have to submit the $1,000 security for the driveway encroachment, which are stipulations 3 and 4 listed in the Planning Commission Meeting Minutes, November 20, 2014 Page 7 November 13, 2014 planning report. Mr. Dempsey explained that it has been the City’s policy for active wells in environmentally sensitive areas to be sealed. Mr. Morey stated that the public street improvement project in this area is scheduled for 2016 but, because the 2015 street improvement project work will likely be completed over two years, this street improvement project will likely shift to 2017. Mr. Morey indicated that removal of the driveway encroachment, if not covered by a security, would be at the goodwill of the property owner to complete. • Commissioner Drotning asked if Orchard Trail will be reconstructed as a rural or urban section. Mr. Jordan indicated that it would be upgraded to an urban section. • Commissioner Drotning asked if the applicant is proposing to install a hammerhead turnaround and/or to add asphalt to the driveway at the location of the new garage. Mr. Kermes indicated that he had no intention to install a hammerhead. He stated he plans to add asphalt at the opening of the new garage. • Commissioner Swenson stated that pumping from the lake for agricultural purposes is legal; however, he supports capping the well because it is very difficult to avoid contamination entering the groundwater system with the well acting as a conduit. • The Planning Commission agreed that stipulations 3 and 4 should be kept in their recommendation. Motion was made by Maguire, seconded by Reuvers to recommend to City Council approval of the Kermes Conditional Use Permit and Variance located at 19115 Orchard Trail subject to the six stipulations listed below: 1. The improvements shall be constructed in accordance with the site plan approved with the conditional use permit and variance. 2. The exterior building materials and roof for the addition and the existing house shall match. 3. The water well shall be sealed prior to the issuance of a certificate of occupancy for the building addition. A $3,000 security shall be submitted prior to issuance of a building permit to guarantee compliance with the stipulation. 4. The driveway encroachment over the west property line shall be removed. A $1,000 security shall be submitted prior to issuance of a building permit to guarantee compliance with this stipulation. 5. Any additional pavement included in the revised driveway and site construction due to site modifications shall be included on a revised survey prior to City Council consideration of the conditional use permit and variance. 6. All disturbed soils shall be restored and established with groundcover immediately after work in that area is completed. Ayes: Maguire, Lillehei, Reuvers, Kaluza, Drotning, Swenson Nays: 0 Planning Commission Meeting Minutes, November 20, 2014 Page 8 9. Dakota County CDA Chair Lillehei opened the public hearing to consider the application of the Dakota County CDA for the following, located northeast of Junelle Path and south of 175th Street: A. Preliminary plat of one lot to be known as Argonne Senior Housing; and B. Conditional Use Permit to allow a multiple-family dwelling in the O-R, Office/Residential Transition District. Kari Gill from the Dakota County CDA presented a brief overview of the request. Ms. Gill gave a summary of the existing CDA senior housing projects in Lakeville. Ms. Gill stated that their senior housing market study indicates a high demand in Lakeville. Associate Planner Kris Jenson presented the planning report. Ms. Jenson stated that the CDA project proposes a three story independent senior housing building with 62 one and two-bedroom units and an underground parking garage. Ms. Jenson stated that the Argonne Senior Housing preliminary plat consists of one lot. The proposed multi-family dwelling use is allowed by conditional use permit in the O-R District and is subject to the requirements of the RH-1, Multiple Family Residential District. Ms. Jenson indicated that no public sidewalks are proposed to be added along Junelle Path as a part of the Argonne Senior Housing plat, but a private sidewalk and trail are planned to be constructed along the north driveway and around the rear of the building for use by the residents. Ms. Jenson stated that there are no wetlands and no significant trees located within the Argonne Senior Housing preliminary plat. Ms. Jenson explained that the CDA has indicated that should the Argonne Senior Housing preliminary plat and CUP be approved by the City Council, that they will likely request final plat approval early in 2016. Because of the extended timeframe, they have requested that the preliminary plat and CUP approval be for 18 months from the time of City Council approval, rather than the 12 months allowed by ordinance. Staff supports this request. Ms. Jenson reviewed the site plan and conditional use permit requirements of the Zoning Ordinance. The proposed building meets the RH-1 District building setback requirements. Ms. Jenson presented a revised landscape plan and commented that the landscape species and sizes meet Zoning Ordinance requirements. The revised landscape plan shows some changes in the southern area of the site and includes additional plantings in this area. Ms. Jenson stated that the site will be accessed with two driveways from Junelle Path. The north driveway will be for visitors and the south driveway will lead directly Planning Commission Meeting Minutes, November 20, 2014 Page 9 to the underground parking facility, which will be accessible to residents and the CDA staff. The proposed surface and underground parking meet the requirements of the Zoning Ordinance. Ms. Jenson indicated that the photometric plan has been submitted and reviewed by staff. The photometric plan meets Zoning Ordinance requirements. Because this condition has been satisfied, Stipulation 6 of the planning report can be deleted. Ms. Jenson stated that the building height and exterior building materials meet the Zoning Ordinance requirements. Ms. Jenson stated that there was a neighborhood meeting hosted by the Dakota County CDA on November 13th at Christina Huddleston Elementary School. Four residents attended and no significant issues were raised. Ms. Jenson stated that Planning Department staff recommends approval of the Argonne Senior Housing preliminary plat and conditional use permit subject to the 7 stipulations listed in the November 13, 2014 planning report. Chair Lillehei opened the hearing to the public for comment. Charlie Gerk, representing his father Ron Gerk who lives at 10466 175th Street Mr. Gerk’s concerns were: • With the public hearing notice only going to property owners within 350 feet from the subject property, rather than the 500 feet required by ordinance, he requested that this agenda item be tabled to give those property owners who did not receive 10 days notice of the public hearing enough time to respond. He feels that City staff should come up with a policy for when something like this happens. • He questioned why Outlot G, Argonne Village can be used for the density calculation even though it is not connected to the main lot that is being platted. He pointed out that Outlot G has a different zoning than the lot the senior apartment building will be constructed on. • He expressed concerns about site lighting and the proposed building height. Lynn Peterson, 10710 – 175th Street Mr. Peterson’s concerns were: • The office building project that was proposed about ten years ago for this property would have allowed his auto body shop to access Junelle Path through the proposed office building parking lot. He would like the same access consideration with this proposed project. Motion was made by Reuvers, seconded by Drotning to close the public hearing at 7:02 p.m. Planning Commission Meeting Minutes, November 20, 2014 Page 10 Ayes: Lillehei, Reuvers, Kaluza, Drotning, Swenson, Maguire Nays: 0 Chair Lillehei asked for comments from the Planning Commission. Discussion points included: • Chair Lillehei asked staff to address Mr. Peterson’s question about access for his business onto Junelle Path. Ms. Jenson responded with a brief history of the office building proposal from ten years ago and the cross access agreement they proposed with Mr. Peterson. She indicated that the CDA site is proposing a pond in the area where Mr. Peterson’s access would have been with the previous project and there would not be enough room to come through this area with an access. Ms. Jenson explained that another option would be to see if the auto body shop access could be located north of the CDA’s proposed pond. With the geometrics of Junelle Path in that area and with the elevation of Mr. Peterson’s property, the driveway would have to slope significantly within a very short distance so this may not be an ideal situation. She stated that Mr. Peterson is welcome to contact the CDA with his request, but City ordinance does not require the CDA to provide Mr. Peterson with an access through their site. • Chair Lillehei asked staff to comment on the public hearing notices and the missed property owners. Ms. Jenson explained the abstract company’s error. The abstract company certified that the property owners list submitted with the preliminary plat and CUP applications was for 500 feet, as required by City ordinance, when it was only for 350 feet, as required by State Statute. She stated that when staff discovered the error, the City immediately contacted the CDA who then contacted the abstract company, who in turn acknowledged their error. It was determined that four property owners were not included in the original mailing and City staff included a letter of explanation with the public hearing notice that was mailed out the same day that the error was discovered (Thursday, November 13th). Ms. Jenson stated that the City Attorney has been contacted and they indicated that, despite the error in notification, it is a valid public hearing by City ordinance and State Statute. • There was a discussion regarding Outlot G and whether it should be included for the density calculations as it is not contiguous with the lot the senior apartment building will be constructed on. Mr. Morey stated that Outlot G is intended to be purchased from United Properties by the CDA. He indicated that including Outlot G meets Zoning Ordinance requirements for the proposed senior apartment building to have 62 units. He stated that Outlot G is separated from the senior apartment building lot by a City-owned outlot that includes wetland and ponding areas. • Chair Lillehei agreed to let Mr. Gerk address the Planning Commission after the public hearing has been closed to clarify his building height concern. Mr. Gerk explained that he feels the CDA is building a very tall building at its peak on a piece of land that is quite high already and is it necessary to build at that elevation or could they cut into the hill and build at a lower elevation. Planning Commission Meeting Minutes, November 20, 2014 Page 11 • Mr. Jordan explained that City ordinance requires the lowest floor elevation be a minimum of three feet above the water level of the wetland, which dictates the elevation and height of the building. • Commissioner Drotning stated that he is abstaining from discussion and vote on this agenda item due to the fact that he owned and sold land to United Properties in this area. • Chair Lillehei indicated that previously he had a discussion with staff regarding Outlot G and the density calculations. He suggested perhaps a PUD zoning would give the CDA the flexibility to achieve the density (number of units) they need to make the project feasible. He believes this is a good location for the proposed use. • Commissioner Reuvers agreed that this would be a good way to address the density issue. • Mr. Morey stated that rezoning the property to a PUD would allow Outlot G to be deeded to the City in exchanges for a credit to the storm sewer area charge. City staff can explore this option with the CDA and perhaps Kari Gill could speak publicly at tonight’s meeting regarding the suggested rezoning to a PUD. • Ms. Gill approached the Planning Commission and indicated that she did have a brief discussion with Mr. Morey earlier today and she would be willing to submit an application for rezoning to PUD and to make sure that the abstract company had the complete list of property owners for the public hearing notice. • Chair Lillehei commented that he would be willing to have a special Planning Commission meeting, if necessary, to consider the PUD rezoning application. Motion was made by Reuvers, seconded by Maguire to table action on the Argonne Senior Housing preliminary plat and conditional use permit and direct staff to publish a new public hearing notice for a Zoning Map amendment to rezone the property to Planned Unit Development (PUD). Ayes: Reuvers, Kaluza, Swenson, Maguire, Lillehei Nays: 0 Abstain: Drotning 10. Kenwood Hills, LLC Chair Lillehei opened the public hearing to consider the application of Kenwood Hills, LLC for the following, located west of Kenwood Trail (CSAH 50) at Jurel Way: A. Comprehensive Plan amendment to re-guide property from high density residential to low/medium density residential; B. Zoning Map amendment to rezone property from RH-1, Multiple Family Residential District to PUD, Planned Unit Development District; C. Preliminary plat and PUD development stage plans of 45 detached townhome lots to be known as Kenwood Hills. Jason Biederwolf, Land Development Manager for Homestead Partners and Matt Hanish, Vice President of Homestead Partners, along with Chuck Ryan, the on-site manager with JMS Custom Homes, Paul Kangas, Landscape Architect and Tina Planning Commission Meeting Minutes, November 20, 2014 Page 12 Goodroad, Planning Consultant, both with Loucks Associates, were in attendance at tonight’s meeting. Mr. Hanish presented a brief overview of their request. Mr. Hanish stated that they felt this site was the perfect fit for their project. He indicated that 30% of the site will be left natural with preserving wetlands and saving trees. He stated that the PUD zoning allows them site development flexibility. He indicated that he had met with the managers of the Southfork Village Apartments and explained the project to them. They are happy with the proposed project. Mr. Hanish stated that they will be targeting young executives and retirees. He indicated that JMS Homes will have a multitude of floor plans available for construction. Planning Consultant Daniel Licht presented the planning report. Mr. Licht stated that the Kenwood Hills development consists of 45 detached townhouse dwelling units. Along with the preliminary plat application, the development of the site also includes a Comprehensive Plan amendment to change the land use designation from high density residential to low/medium density residential and a Zoning Map amendment to rezone the property from RH-1, Multiple Family Residential District to PUD, Planned Unit Development District. Mr. Licht reviewed why the developer is requesting a Comprehensive Plan amendment and Zoning Map amendment along with the preliminary plat, which is explained in detail in the November 13, 2014 planning report. Mr. Licht indicated that the subject site will be accessed at its northeast corner by the extension of Jurel Way. The extension of Jurel Way has been designed as a local street due to the reduction of density proposed for this development. Jurel Way will terminate as a temporary cul-de-sac at the southeast corner of the subject site. Mr. Licht stated that the Kenwood Hills preliminary plat proposes two public cul-de-sac streets within the development, both of which meet the requirements of the Subdivision Ordinance. Mr. Licht indicated that wetlands and wetland buffer areas are platted within Outlots A and B, which will be deeded to the City in accordance with the Zoning Ordinance. Mr. Licht indicated that the applicant is requesting a reduction in the required building setback from the public right-of-way and the private drives from 30 feet to 25 feet. Mr. Licht reviewed the proposed building designs submitted by the developer, including exterior materials and garages. He also explained the private drives, which would be allowed in under the PUD. Mr. Licht stated that his office and City staff recommends approval of the Comprehensive Plan amendment, Zoning Map amendment and the Kenwood Hills preliminary plat subject to the 14 stipulations listed in the November 13, 2014 planning report. Chair Lillehei opened the hearing to the public for comment. Planning Commission Meeting Minutes, November 20, 2014 Page 13 There were no comments from the audience.
