Planning Commission Meeting Minutes, February 16, 2017 Page 2 Associate Planner Frank Dempsey presented the planning report. Mr. Dempsey thth stated that the Summerlyn 6 Addition includes Outlot B, Summerlyn 4 Addition, th Lots 9-15, Block 1 and Outlot A, Summerlyn 5 Addition, and part of the Summerlyn Northwest preliminary plat approved in 2014, along with the unplatted single family home parcels located adjacent to Dodd Boulevard that were acquired by Dakota County and the city of Lakeville for the 2016 Dodd Boulevard improvements. Mr. Dempsey explained the revised preliminary plat that was distributed at tonight’s meeting. It became apparent during staff’s review of the preliminary and final plat plans that 35 of the 84 single family lots from the approved Summerlyn Northwest th preliminary plat were included in the Summerlyn 6 Addition preliminary and final plat and the remaining 49 single family lots from Summerlyn Northwest were shown as an outlot. Proceeding in this manner would require the developer to go through the preliminary plat process again in order to develop the remaining 49 lots from the Summerlyn Northwest preliminary plat. This was not the developer’s intention. As th such, the developer has revised the Summerlyn 6 Addition preliminary plat to include only the seven single family lots that are not part of Summerlyn Northwest. The final plat would remain at 42 lots. th The Summerlyn 6 Addition preliminary plat, as revised, and final plat meet the requirements of the Zoning Ordinance for lot area, lot width, and buffer yard lot depth. All 42 lots have adequate building pad areas that meet setback requirements. Mr. Dempsey explained the Zoning Ordinance requirements for buffer yard screening along minor arterial roads such as Dodd Boulevard. The proposed tree types and sizes meet the requirements of the Zoning Ordinance and the Corridor and Gateway Design standards. th The Summerlyn 6 Addition plat abuts minor arterial Dodd Boulevard and major th collector 190 Street and includes construction of three local streets; Impala Way, Indora Trail and Incline Way. th Mr. Dempsey stated that the Summerlyn 4 Addition final plat included a platted 10 foot wide drainage and utility easement within Outlot B. He indicated that this easement will be replaced by boundary drainage and utility easements for the single th family lots in the Summerlyn 6 Addition final plat. Mr. Dempsey stated that there is not a need for public park land within Summerlyn th 6 Addition, according to the City’s Park, Trails and Open Space Plan. Park dedication will be met with a cash contribution per Subdivision Ordinance requirements.

Ayes – unanimous Chair Swenson asked for comments from the Planning Commission. Discussion points included:  The Planning Commission discussed construction access and egress for grading, public utility installation and street construction. Since Dodd Boulevard (CSAH 9) is not an option due to Dakota County access restrictions, they suggested that this type of construction traffic should be off th of 190 Street to the north and the individual home construction traffic could use the existing streets in Summerlyn to the south.  The developer asked for the option to bring their equipment in from the south if there was bad weather or muddy conditions.  Mr. Morey stated that the engineering report could be amended to state that construction traffic for grading, public utility installation and street construction th must be off of 190 Street. This requirement will be included in the th development contract for City Council consideration with the Summerlyn 6 Addition final plat.  Commissioner Lillehei stated the Parks, Recreation and Natural Resources draft minutes state they recommend approval subject to the comments from City staff. Since he is not sure what those staff comments were, he is not comfortable with Stipulation #2 in the February 10, 2017 planning report.  Mr. Morey stated that Stipulation #2 in the planning report could be removed from the Planning Commission’s recommended stipulations. The Planning Commission agreed that the engineering report will be revised prior to City Council consideration to require construction traffic for grading, public utility th installation, and street construction be off of 190 Street, rather than Impala Way, and that Stipulation #2 from the planning report be removed.

City of Lakeville Chair Swenson opened the public hearing to consider amendments to various chapters of Title 11 (the Zoning Ordinance) of the Lakeville City Code. Planning Consultant Dan Licht presented the planning report. Mr. Licht stated that the Planning Commission held a work session on January 5, 2017 to discuss the list of topics compiled by City staff in 2016 for their annual review of the Zoning Ordinance, Subdivision Ordinance and/or City Code to address issues that have been identified during the review of development applications. Mr. Licht reviewed several of the proposed amendments that are listed in detail in the February 6, 2017 planning report. Mr. Licht indicated that one amendment that had not been brought up previously was residential garbage collection. He indicated that with an aging population and smaller households, weekly collection from low density residential uses is not always necessary. City staff is recommending amending the City Code to require collection of municipal mixed solid waste a minimum of every two weeks for single family, detached townhome or two family dwellings. No change is recommended for other uses as the greater density or intensity of the land use has more potential for nuisance concerns with less frequent pick up. Planning Commission Meeting Minutes, February 16, 2017 Page 7 Mr. Licht stated that staff is recommending approval of the proposed amendments to the City Code and Zoning Ordinance, as presented. Chair Swenson opened the hearing to the public for comment. There were no comments from the audience.
