SPIRIT PLACE AT BRANDTJEN FARM
PRELIMINARY AND FINAL PLAT AND EASEMENT VACATION
Proposed Action
Staff recommends adoption of the following motion: Move to approve: 1) a resolution approving the
Spirit Place at Brandtjen Farm preliminary and final plat, and 2) a resolution vacating public drainage and
utility easements.
Overview
HJ Development representatives are requesting approval of the Spirit Place at Brandtjen Farm preliminary
and final plat to allow the construction of an 18,000 square foot PetSmart retail building. The vacation of
underling public drainage and utility easements is being processed in conjunction with the preliminary
and final plat. PetSmart will be located in the southwest quadrant of 160th Street (CSAH 46) and Elmhurst
Lane, north of Hy-Vee.
The Planning Commission held a public hearing on the Spirit Place at Brandtjen Farm preliminary plat
and development stage PUD at their June 16, 2016 meeting and unanimously recommended approval.
There was no public comment. The Parks, Recreation and Natural Resources Committee recommended
approval of the preliminary plat at their June 15, 2016 meeting.

Primary Issues to Consider
• What plan revisions have occurred since the Planning Commission meeting?
• The preliminary and final plat and engineering plans were revised to adjust Lot 1 to include more
parking spaces within the PetSmart site and to shift the shared access drive within Outlot A
slightly to the west.
• The landscape plan was revised to add three boulevard trees on the south side of the PetSmart site
and evergreen shrubs along the east wall of the PetSmart building.
• The building elevation and site plans were revised to bring the proposed wall and freestanding
signs into compliance with the Sign Ordinance.
• The lighting plan was revised to meet Zoning Ordinance requirements.
I have not included all of the revised plans for this agenda item in the Council packet. Please contact

MEMORANDUM
TO: Daryl Morey
FROM: D. Daniel Licht, AICP
DATE: 20 July 2016
RE: Lakeville – Spirit Place of Brandtjen Farm (Petsmart)
TPC FILE: 135.01
BACKGROUND
SBF Development Corporation and HJ Development have submitted plans for Spirit Place of
Brandtjen Farm to be platted from Outlot B, SBF Commercial 1st Addition. The proposed
preliminary and final plat consists of one lot and four outlots at the southwest corner of 160th
Street (CSAH 46) and Elmhurst Lane. Lot 1, Block 1 is proposed for development of a 18,000
square foot building for Petsmart, a retail store specializing in pet related products and services.
The subject site is zoned PUD, Planned Unit Development District as approved by the City
Council for Spirit of Brandtjen Farm on 20 June 2005. The proposed development requires the
consideration of applications for preliminary plat, final plat, PUD Development Stage Plan for
Lot 1, Block 1, and vacation of existing drainage and utility easements.

ANALYSIS
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. An amendment to the SBF PUD
Booklet was approved in 2010 to allow for development of big box retail users within this area
of SBF, which is consistent with the proposed 18,000 square foot retail building.
Uses. Retail stores are a permitted use within this area of SBF. The floor plan of the principal
building is included in the submitted plans and indicates retail space as well as pet grooming, a
training room, employee areas, and service areas. The proposed pet sales and grooming areas
are subject to the requirements of Section 11-73-7.O of the Zoning Ordinance to be made a
condition of PUD Development Stage Plan approval:
1. All areas in which animals are confined are located indoors and are properly
soundproofed from adjacent properties or tenants in the case of multiple occupancy
buildings.
2. Animal wastes are disposed of at least once each day via an existing sanitary sewer
system or enclosed in a container of sufficient construction at least once a day to
minimize odors.
3. The floors and walls of pet grooming areas are made of nonporous materials or sealed
concrete to make them nonporous.
4. All applicable requirements of the City Code regarding the keeping and care of animals
are satisfactorily met.
5. No commercial boarding or kenneling of animals shall be allowed.
6. The breeding of cats and dogs is prohibited unless expressly allowed by the PUD
Development Stage Plan.
7. All applicable provisions of Minnesota statutes sections 346.35 through 346.58
regarding the commercial keeping and care of animals are satisfactorily met.
8. All animals to be sold are acquired from a licensed animal broker.
Inclusion of veterinary services within the uses allowed on Lot 1, Block 1 in the future will
require application for amendment of the PUD Development Stage Plan subject to the
3
performance standards of Section 11-73-7.S of the Zoning Ordinance. Future development of
Outlot B, Outlot C, and Outlot D will require separate application for PUD Development Stage
Plan approval.
Lot Requirements. The SBF PUD District does not establish minimum lot area or width
requirements. A 30 foot setback for buildings and a 15 foot setback for parking from public
rights-of-way is required at the perimeter of the PUD District. Interior setbacks are to be
evaluated based on specific site designs. The proposed principal building is setback 30 feet
from the north plat line in compliance with the perimeter setback requirement. The proposed
parking areas are setback a minimum of 15 feet from all public rights-of-way and the shared
east-west private drive along the south plat line.
Vehicle Access. Lot 1, Block 1, Outlot B, and Outlot C are to be accessed via a shared private
drive intersecting Elmhurst Lane and utilized by the HyVee grocery store and other future uses
west of Elmhurst Lane and north of 162nd Street. The driveway to Lot 1, Block 1, Outlot B, and
Outlot C is aligned with the drive aisle along the rear of the HyVee building to the south. The
driveway is designed with one in-bound lane and two out-bound lanes. The pavement
markings for the outbound lanes are to be revised to provide left and right turning arrows so as
not to encourage cross traffic behind the Hy-Vee building. The submitted plans include a sheet
showing turning movements for semi-tractor/trailer access to Lot 1, Block 1, which must be
updated to reflect the most current site plan and proposed lot lines. The preliminary and final
plat identify the shared driveway accessing Lot 1, Block 1, Outlot B, and Outlot C to be a
separate parcel platted as Outlot A.
Off-Street Parking. Section 11-19-13 of the Zoning Ordinance requires retail stores to provide a
minimum of one parking stall per 200 square feet of net building area. Based on the 18,000
square foot area of the proposed building, 81 parking stalls are required. The submitted site
plan illustrates 91 parking stalls within Lot 1, Block 1 exceeding the requirements of the Zoning
Ordinance. An ingress/egress easement and shared parking agreement is required for access
and parking stalls within Lot 1, Block 1, Outlot B, and Outlot C. Parking requirements for Outlot
B, Outlot C, and Outlot D will be reviewed with the PUD Development Stage Plan for each
parcel.
Off-street parking stalls are designed as nine feet wide and 20 feet deep accessed by 24 foot
wide drive aisles as required by Section 11-19-4.H.1 of the Zoning Ordinance. The parking area
is to be surfaced with asphalt, including a heavy-duty section to accommodate delivery
vehicles, with striped stalls and surrounded by concrete curb and gutter as required by Sections
11-19-4.H.12, 13 and 15 of the Zoning Ordinance. The specifications for construction of the off-
street parking area are subject to review and approval of the City Engineer.
Pedestrian Access. There is a planned trail along 160th Street (CSAH 46) and a sidewalk on the
west side of Elmhurst Lane. The developer is required to grade the area for the planned trail
along 160th Street (CSAH 46) and provide an escrow for the cost of construction. The submitted
plans illustrate a five-foot wide sidewalk on the north side of the shared east-west private
4
driveway. The submitted plans also provide a five-foot wide sidewalk on the south side of the
shared east-west private drive with construction deferred until Outlot D is developed. Section
10-4-3.H.1 of the Subdivision requires sidewalks within commercial plats to be eight feet wide;
however, this standard applies to sidewalks abutting public streets. The proposed five-foot
wide sidewalk is adequate for these internal private drives. Internal sidewalk connections are
also provided to the sidewalks at the perimeter of Lot 1, Block 1 and Outlot B, Outlot C, and
Outlot D.
Building Design. The proposed building is a one-story box measuring 25 feet, four inches in
height. The height of the proposed building is within the 35-foot limit of the C-3 District
applicable to this area of the SBF PUD District. Section 11-17-9.D.1 of the Zoning Ordinance
requires the buildings to use a minimum of three Grade A materials listed in Section 11-17-9.B
of the Zoning Ordinance for a minimum of 65 percent of the area of the building elevations.
Grade B or C materials defined in Section 11-17-9.B of the Zoning Ordinance may be used for up
to 35 percent of the area of the elevations, or 10 percent Grade D materials may also be used.
The exterior materials for the proposed building identified for each elevation comply with the
minimum requirement for use of three Grade A materials and the total area of the elevations
finished with Grade A material is 72 percent, exceeding the requirements of the Zoning
Ordinance. Articulation and variation in the building appearance to meet the standards
intended for SBF is attempted with columns spaced along each elevation, parapet details, and
use of five different colors for the various building materials.
Landscaping. The submitted plans include a preliminary landscape plan for Lot 1, Block 1. The
landscape plan provides for plantings along the west lot line, east half of the north lot line,
along the west side of the shared driveway accessing Lot 1, Block 1, Outlot B and Outlot C, as
well as plantings for the parking lot islands. The landscape plan provides for three boulevard
trees planted approximately 60 feet on center along the north side of the east-west shared
driveway along the south lot line of Lot 1, Block 1. There are also plantings of tall-growing
evergreen shrubs along the east wall of the principal building to mask its horizontal mass.
Plant types and sizes are appropriate and comply with Section 11-21-9.C of the Zoning
Ordinance.
Signs. The submitted plans illustrate one freestanding sign and wall signs on two elevations of
the proposed building:
The proposed freestanding sign is allowed to be 100 square feet in area and up to 20
feet in height. The proposed sign is 70 square feet in area and 20 feet tall above a
block/brick pylon. The freestanding sign is setback 15 feet from the public right-of-way
for 160th Street (CSAH 46) as required by Section 11-23-21 of the Zoning Ordinance.
Section 11-23-19.E.1.b of the Zoning Ordinance allows uses within the C-3 District one
wall sign on two facades facing a public street or private driveway on through lots such
as Lot 1, Block 1. The maximum area of any individual wall sign is limited to 100 square
feet. Wall signs are shown to be installed on the north and south elevations of the
5
proposed building. Petsmart has a sign package that is 42 inches high including letters
with a bouncing ball logo. The total area of the sign is 102.5 square feet as defined by
the Zoning Ordinance. City staff recommends allowing flexibility under the PUD District
for the additional 2.5 square feet for both wall signs.
Exterior Lighting. The submitted plans include a photometric lighting plan for Lot 1, Block 1
illustrating the type, height, location, and illumination pattern of all proposed exterior lighting.
Lighting at the north, west, and south perimeter property lines is less than one-foot candle and
complies with Section 11-16-17.A of the Zoning Ordinance. All of the exterior light fixtures are
to have LED luminaires hooded with a 90-degree horizontal cut-off as required by Section 11-
16-17.B.1 of the Zoning Ordinance and the freestanding light sources comply with the 35 foot
limit of Section 11-16-17.C of the Zoning Ordinance.
Trash Storage. The site plan identifies an exterior trash enclosure southeast of the proposed
principal building. Details regarding construction of the trash enclosure are included on the
submitted plans indicating that the structure is to be constructed of matching brick material as
the principal building consistent with the requirements of Section 11-18-11 of the Zoning
Ordinance.
Park Dedication. Lot 1, Block 1 is subject to park dedication requirements at the time of final
plat approval. The park dedication requirements will be met as a cash fee in lieu of land at
$5,400 per acre for commercial uses in accordance with the SBF Master PUD Agreement. The
area of Lot 1, Block 1 is 1.86 acres and the area of Outlot A to be developed as a shared
driveway is 0.23 acres. The park dedication fee in lieu of land for the proposed final plat of 2.09
acres is $11,286.
Outlots. The preliminary and final plats identify four outlots as shown in the table below. The
outlots are to be retained by the developer. An ingress/egress easement will be required to be
recorded over Outlot A for access to Lot 1, Block 1, Outlot B, and Outlot C.
Outlot Purpose
A Shared access to Lot 1, Block 1/Outlot B/Outlot C
B, C, D Future commercial sites
Utility Plan. The developer has submitted plans for extension of public utilities to serve the
proposed development. The subject site is within the current MUSA and there is sanitary sewer
and water utility capacity to serve the proposed retail use. The utility plan is subject to review
and approval by the City Engineer.
Grading Plan. The developer has submitted grading plans for the proposed development. The
grading, drainage, and erosion control plan is subject to review and approval by the City
Engineer.
6
Easements. Section 10-4-4 of the Subdivision Ordinance requires a 10 foot wide drainage and
utility easement at the perimeter of all lots. The preliminary and final plat provide for a 10 foot
wide drainage and utility easement along the north lot line of Lot 1, Block 1 and a five foot wide
drainage and utility easement along the west lot line of Lot 1, Block 1 and where Lot 1, Block 1
abuts Outlot A and Outlot B. The south lot line of Lot 1, Block 1 provides a 27.67 foot wide
drainage and utility easement to overlay the north half of the shared east-west private drive,
sidewalk, and necessary utility locations. The preliminary and final plats also include a drainage
and utility easement crossing Lot 1, Block 1 and overlaying portions of Outlot A and Outlot B for
extension of sanitary sewer and water utilities. The applications also include a request to
vacate existing drainage and utility easements dedicated with SBF Commercial 1st Addition.
These easements will in effect be replaced by drainage and utility easements dedicated with
the proposed final plat and therefore no longer serve a public purpose. All easements are
subject to review and approval of the City Engineer.
Final Plat. The developer has submitted a final plat for the proposed development consistent
with the preliminary plat. The final plat is subject to applicable comments pertaining to the
preliminary plat design and is subject to approval of the City Council and the Dakota County Plat
Commission.
Development Contract. The developer is required to enter into a development contract with
the City for the public and private improvements, payment of applicable fees and posting of
required securities. The development agreement will be drafted by the City Attorney and the
developer is required to execute the development agreement prior to City Council approval of
the final plat.
CONCLUSION
The proposed Spirit Place of Brandtjen Farm Preliminary Plat, Final Plat, PUD Development
Stage Plan and easement vacation are consistent with the SBF Land Use Plan and the
requirements of the SBF PUD District, Zoning Ordinance, and Subdivision Ordinance. City staff
and our office recommend approval of the applications subject to the following conditions:
