measures are in place as determined by the City Engineer. The Developer certifies to the City
that all footings placed on fill have been monitored and constructed to meet or exceed FHA/HUD
79G specifications. The soils observation and testing report, including referenced development
phases and lot descriptions, shall be submitted to the Building Official for review prior to the
issuance of a Certificate of Occupancy.
Prior to the release of the grading and erosion control security, the “as constructed” plan
for the lot must be submitted to verify that the final as-built grades and elevations of the specific lot
and all building setbacks are consistent with the approved grading plan for the development, and
amendments thereto as approved by the City Engineer, and that all required property monuments

PLANNING ANALYSIS
Comprehensive Plan. The 2008 Comprehensive Land Use Plan guides the subject site
for commercial land uses reflecting the land uses designated by the SBF Land Use Plan
approved by the City Council as a part of the SBF PUD Booklet dated 20 June 2005.
SBF Land Use Plan. The SBF Land Use Plan guides the subject site for mixed use
development based on the uses allowed in the O-R District and C-3 District as
established by the Zoning Ordinance. The proposed day care center is an allowed use
of the subject site and subject to compliance with applicable requirements of the
Zoning Ordinance.
Existing Conditions. The site was previously mined, has been reclamated, and is
currently vacant and undeveloped. It was platted as Outlot C with the Spirit of
Brandtjen Farm Commercial 1st Addition plat.
MUSA. The subject site is within the current MUSA and sanitary sewer and water
utilities will be available with the installation of the utilities within the SBF Commercial
1st Addition.
Adjacent Land Uses. Adjacent land uses and zoning are as follows:
North – Vacant land (PUD)
East – Vacant land (PUD)
South – Future residential (PUD)
West – Future Hy-Vee Foods (PUD)
Consistency with the Capital Improvement Plan (CIP). City streets, sanitary sewer
and water improvements for the area of Minnesota Blue Skies Addition will be
financed and constructed by the developer. The development costs associated with
the Minnesota Blue Skies Addition development are not programmed in the 2015 –
2019 CIP.
Premature Subdivision Criteria. A preliminary plat may be deemed premature if any
of the criteria listed in Chapter 10-2-4-1 of the Subdivision Ordinance exist. Eligible
criteria pertain to a lack of adequate: drainage, water, streets, sanitary sewer, and
public service capacity (police and fire protection). The other pertinent criteria pertain
to inconsistencies with the City Comprehensive Land Use and Capital Improvement
Plans (discussed above). While utilities are not currently available at the proposed
Minnesota Blue Skies Addition site, they will be constructed this spring as part of the
SBF Commercial 1st Addition project. Staff review of the Minnesota Blue Skies Addition
preliminary plat against these criteria finds that it is not a premature subdivision.
Final Plat. The applicant has submitted a final plat for the proposed development
consistent with the preliminary plat. The final plat is subject to applicable comments
2
pertaining to the preliminary plat design and is subject to approval by the City
Council.
Lot Requirements. The SBF Land Use Plan does not establish minimum lot area or
width requirements for developments within the PUD District. The proposed lot area
of 1.37 acres (59,773 sq. ft.) exceeds the C-3 District minimum lot size of 20,000 sq. ft.
Streets/Site Access. The proposed site is located at the northwest corner of 162nd
Street and Elmhurst Lane. Both streets are planned to be constructed this spring in
conjunction with the SBF Commercial 1st Addition. No additional right-of-way is
required for either street. Additional detailed information is outlined in the
Engineering Division memorandum dated 28 February 2015.
• 162nd Street – 162nd Street is a minor collector commercial roadway as identified
in the City’s Transportation Plan. It will be a 44-foot roadway within an 80 foot
right-of-way and will intersect with Pilot Knob Road to the west.
• Elmhurst Lane – Elmhurst Lane is a local commercial roadway. It will be a 44 foot
wide roadway within an 80 foot wide right-of-way and will intersect with 160th
Street (CSAH 46) to the north.
All streets meet the minimum width and design requirements of the Subdivision
Ordinance.
Sidewalks/Trails. Eight-foot wide concrete sidewalks will be constructed along both
162nd Street and Elmhurst Lane, adjacent to the subject site, as part of the construction
of both 162nd Street and Elmhurst Lane. A private sidewalk located between the front
of the building and the parking area will connect to the sidewalk along Elmhurst Lane.
Setbacks. The location of the building on the lot exceeds the setback requirements of
the C-3 District.
Front Rear Side Corner Side
Required 30' 10' 10' 30'
Proposed 163.79' 39.82' 52.35' 60'
The site plans indicate a possible future expansion area at the rear of the building. This
would result in a setback of 20 feet to the rear property line.
Off-street Parking. The table below illustrates the calculation of required off-street
parking:
Use Requirement Student Cap. Req. Stalls Stalls Provided
Daycare
Facility
1 stall/4 persons of
licensed capacity 144 36 42
As noted above, the Goddard School plans indicate an area for a possible building
expansion, which would increase the school capacity by 20 students. An additional
five spaces would be required for a total of 41 parking spaces. The proposed number
of parking spaces to be provided exceeds this requirement. Proposed parking stall
3
dimensions, drive aisle widths, and parking lots setbacks meet Zoning Ordinance
requirements.
Grading, Drainage, Erosion Control, and Utilities. Proposed grading, drainage,
erosion control, and utilities for the Minnesota Blue Skies Addition preliminary plat is
shown on the erosion and sediment control, grading and drainage, and utility plans.
All new local utilities shall be placed underground.
Grading, drainage, erosion control, and utilities details are outlined in the 11 March
2015 engineering report prepared by Alex Jordan, Civil Engineer and Mac Cafferty,
Environmental Resources Manager. The Engineering Division recommends approval of
the preliminary plat.
Loading. A designated loading zone has not been included on this site. The developer
has provided a plan showing that the site can accommodate truck turning movements
for large delivery vehicles. This is consistent with other daycare centers in Lakeville.
Landscaping. The overall site includes a variety of overstory shade and ornamental
trees, shrubs, and ornamental grasses. The parking lot is buffered on the south and
east by Northern Red Oaks, Black Hills Spruce, Compact American Cranberrybush,
Isanti Dogwood, and Hameln Fountain Grass to shield the view from the right-of-way.
The parking lot islands are landscaped with Autumn Blaze Maple trees and feather
reed grass and there is an area on either side of the front door landscaped with Prairie
Rose crabapple trees, Endless Summer Hydrangea, and Palace Purple Coral Bells. Just
outside the fence surrounding the children’s play area, Quaking Aspen trees
interspersed with Neon Flash Spirea and Feather Reed Grass break up the expanse of
fence along the east and north sides of the property. Staff recommends the landscape
plan be revised to include additional landscaping along the east side of the outdoor
play area adjacent to Elmhurst Lane to break up the view of the proposed privacy
fence from the public street. The landscape plan is attached as Exhibit I. A $37,300
security is required to guarantee installation of the approved landscaping.
Fencing. The east, west, and north sides of the property will include a six-foot tall
white vinyl privacy fence to enclose the outdoor play areas for the children at the
center. Gates will be located on the south side of the fence, one on either side of the
front entrance of the building. A detail of the fence is included on the architectural site
plan (Exhibit K.)
Park Dedication. In accordance with the SBF Master PUD Agreement, park dedication
will be collected as a cash fee that must be paid with the final plat. The park dedication
amount per the agreement is $5,400 per acre, for a total of $7,398.00. The Parks,
Recreation and Natural Resources Committee will review the preliminary and final plat
at their 18 March 2015 meeting. Their comments will be forwarded to the Planning
Commission at the public hearing.
Signs. A free-standing sign is proposed to be located north of the parking lot, near the
driveway access. The proposed location as shown meets the required 15 foot setback
from public street right-of-way for free-standing signs. The architectural site plan
(Exhibit K) proposes a five foot, six inch tall sign. The building elevation plans indicate
that there will be a wall sign on the front of the building. Both signs are shown for
4
illustrative purposes at this time and a separate sign permit must be issued for each
sign prior to being erected or placed on the building.
Exterior Materials. The proposed building is primarily red brick, with a slightly darker
color band at the base of the building (Exhibit L). The Zoning Ordinance requires three
Class A materials to be used on commercial buildings, but allows buildings to be
“constructed primarily of one specific Grade A material provided the design is
obviously superior to the general intent of this title, provides variation in detailing,
footprint of the structure or deviations in long wall section to provide visual interest.”
Staff feels that the red brick proposed, along with the regular placement of windows
and doors on each elevation, meets the intent of this provision. A color rendering is
attached as Exhibit M.
Trash Enclosure. A trash enclosure is proposed north of the parking lot on the west
side of the site. As shown on Exhibit K, the trash enclosure will brick to match the
building and will be over six feet in height. The trash enclosure gate will be made of
composite wood planking.
Exterior Lighting. Lighting on the site includes two 12 foot high light poles within the
parking lot and eight wall mounted lights around the exterior of the building (Exhibit
N). According to the architect, these lights are down cast fixtures with glare shields
that are activated by a photocell and turned off by a time clock. The operation hours of
the facility will stop around 6 pm, so the lights should go off around that time. Exterior
lighting must comply with the requirements of Section 11-16-17 of the Zoning
Ordinance.
Easement Vacation. When the Spirit of Brandtjen Farm Commercial 1st Addition final
plat was approved last year, public drainage and utility easements were added to
Outlot C, adjacent to the right-of-way of 162nd Street and Elmhurst Lane. In order to
plat the property for development, those easements must be vacated. New 10 foot
wide public drainage and utility easements have been included on the plat adjacent to
162nd Street and Elmhurst Lane. Exhibit O illustrates the easements to be vacated.
RECOMMENDATION
Planning Department staff recommends approval of the Minnesota Blue Skies
Addition preliminary and final plat, PUD Development Stage plans for The Goddard
School, and the vacation of public drainage and utility easements subject to the
following stipulations:
1. The recommendations listed in the 11 March 2015 engineering report.
2. The recommendations of the Parks, Recreation, and Natural Resources
Committee.
3. The vacation of the public drainage and utility easements shall be recorded
with the final plat.
4. The Goddard School site shall be developed in accordance with the plans
approved by the City Council.
5
5. The landscape plan shall be revised to include additional landscaping along the
east side of the outdoor play area adjacent to Elmhurst Lane to break up the
view of the proposed privacy fence from the public street. A $37,300 security is
required to guarantee installation of the approved landscaping.
6. Signs as shown on the plans are illustrative only. All signs must comply with the
requirements of Chapter 23 of the Zoning Ordinance. A sign permit must be
issued prior to any signs being placed or erected on site.
7. Exterior lighting must comply with the requirements of Section 11-16-17 of the
Zoning Ordinance.

The parent parcel is located within subdistrict NC-14A of the North Creek Stormwater District,
as identified in the City’s Water Resources Management Plan.
The stormwater management system for SBFC 1st Addition will collect and convey all runoff
generated from impervious surfaces in the trunk storm sewer system that will then outlet to
two in-line temporary sedimentation basins that will provide pre-treatment and infiltration
prior to discharging to a regional basin downstream. The sedimentation and regional basins
were designed and sized to treat the additional runoff generated from the impervious
surfaces within the parent parcel. No on-site stormwater management is required with the
development.
