LEE LAKE SUBDIVISION PRELIMINARY PLAT
Proposed Action
Staff recommends adoption of the following motion: Move to approve: 1) a resolution approving the Lee
Lake Subdivision preliminary plat, 2) a conditional use permit for a planned shoreland development and
adopt the findings of fact, and 3) an ordinance establishing a PUD District for Lee Lake Subdivision.
Overview
Guardian Development of Wyoming, LLC representatives are requesting approval of the Lee Lake
Subdivision preliminary plat of three lots and one outlot and PUD development stage plans, a conditional
use permit for a planned shoreland development to allow the transfer of 63 dwelling units from the
residential shoreland density reserve, and an ordinance establishing a PUD District to allow the
construction of a 120-unit apartment building, a 62,400 square foot enclosed self-storage facility, and a
future multiple tenant commercial building on property located east of Lee Lake, west of I-35 and south of
162nd Street (CSAH 46).
The Planning Commission held a public hearing on the Lee Lake Subdivision preliminary plat and related
applications at their May 4, 2017 meeting and unanimously recommended approval. There was no public
comment. The Parks, Recreation and Natural Resources Committee unanimously recommended
approval of the preliminary plat at their May 3, 2017 meeting. In addition, the developer hosted a
neighborhood meeting at Bowlero on March 14, 2017. Approximately 30 residents attended the
neighborhood meeting.

Subdivision and Zoning Ordinances
Staff Response to Primary Issues to Consider
• What is the residential shoreland density reserve?
The Shoreland Overlay District section of the Zoning Ordinance established a residential shoreland
density reserve of 209 dwelling units that the City can allocate to developments within the Shoreland
Overlay District. The City has previously allocated 146 dwelling units of the residential shoreland
density reserve to the Kingsley Shores Phase 1 and Phase 2 senior housing project. Guardian
Development is requesting that the remaining 63 dwelling units in the residential shoreland density
reserve be allocated to the proposed apartment building in Lee Lake Subdivision.
• Why is the PUD District being established?
The subject property was zoned PUD District when the Jackson Landscaping business was operating on
the site. An ordinance establishing a PUD District for Lee Lake Subdivision is required to allow the
proposed use of the property for a multiple family residential building, an enclosed self-storage facility,
and a multiple tenant commercial building.

6. Lee Lake Subdivision
Chair Swenson opened the public hearing to consider the application of Guardian
Development of WY LLC for the following, located west of I-35 and south of 162nd
Street (CSAH 46): A. Preliminary plat of three lots and one outlot to be known as Lee
Lake Subdivision; B. Conditional use permit for a planned shoreland development; C.
Amendment to the Jackson Landscaping planned unit development (PUD), and
development stage PUD plans for a 120 dwelling unit multiple family building and a
62,400 square foot self-storage facility; and D. Vacation of a public drainage and utility
easement (Document No. 3023214) and a public drainage, utility and sloping
easement (Document No. 1107262).
Ross Malinski from Guardian Development of WY LLC presented an overview of the
request, thanked City staff for working with them throughout the process, and
introduced the development team. Andy Krenik from Tushie Montgomery Architects
presented the project design/amenities.
Daniel Licht, The Planning Company, presented the planning report. Mr. Licht stated
that Guardian Development Company of W Y, LLC has submitted plans for a mixed
use development including a 120-unit multiple family building, a 62,400 square foot
enclosed self-storage facility, and a 12,000 square foot multiple tenant retail building.
The subject site is adjacent to Kenyon Avenue and abuts the east shoreline of Lee
Planning Commission Meeting Minutes, May 4, 2017 Page 4
Lake. The developer has submitted applications for an ordinance amending the
existing Jackson Landscaping planned unit development (PUD) governing the
property to allow for the proposed uses, a PUD Development Stage Plan for the
multiple family and self-storage uses, a conditional use permit for a planned shoreland
development, and a preliminary plat and final plat.
Mr. Licht indicated that the proposed retail use for the subject site is consistent with
the commercial land use designated on the 2008 Comprehensive Plan. Direction was
given by the City Council that City staff will work with developers on consideration of
multiple family uses within existing commercial districts on a case-by-case basis and
use the RH-2 District performance standards to establish a PUD District. Mr. Licht
stated that the proposed self-storage facility can provide for a secondary use of the
property that maximizes available lot area and provides efficiency of development.
Mr. Licht reviewed the surrounding land uses and indicated that the setbacks of the
three principal buildings and the off-street parking areas comply with the Zoning
Ordinance. The area of the preserved open space within the subject site and the
proposed impervious surface area also complies with Zoning Ordinance
requirements.
Mr. Licht stated that the Zoning Ordinance allows for an increase in residential
development density if the minimum setback from the OHWL is increased 50 percent,
which the proposed multiple family building complies with, along with complying with
Shoreland Overlay District density limits.
Mr. Licht discussed the future upgrade of Kenyon Avenue adjacent to the site, access
to the site via two shared driveways to Kenyon Avenue, and off-street parking. He
indicated that depending upon the occupancy of the multiple tenant retail building (with
or without a restaurant), the subject site either has sufficient parking or a parking deficit
of six stalls by Zoning Ordinance requirements. He added that since the parking
deficiency is less than two percent of the required stalls, the six stalls not provided are
anticipated to be off-set by the peak demand of the three principal uses and the
parking provided on site will be adequate.
The building materials for the multiple family building and the self-storage building
comply with the Zoning Ordinance requirements. No plans have been provided for
the future retail building. The exterior finish requirements are subject to the C-3 District
Zoning Ordinance requirements.
The proposed building heights and the floor area are consistent with the C-3 District
and appropriate for the subject site abutting the I-35 corridor.
The landscape plan complies with the Zoning Ordinance. Landscaping was added to
the site plan adjacent to the drive aisle to/from the underground garage for the multiple
family building to ensure headlight glare is not cast towards Lee Lake.
Sign plans have been submitted for the multiple family building and the self-storage
facility and both meet Zoning Ordinance requirements.
Planning Commission Meeting Minutes, May 4, 2017 Page 5
Mr. Licht reviewed the exterior lighting, grading, utilities and easements required,
along with the park dedication requirement.
Mr. Licht stated that the developer hosted a neighborhood meeting for the proposed
development on March 14, 2017. City staff was present and 30 residents attended
the meeting. Comments received during the meeting were incorporated into the
revised plans submitted with the development applications.
Mr. Licht stated that staff recommends approval of the Lee Lake Subdivision
applications subject to the seven stipulations listed in the April 27, 2017 planning
report.
Chair Swenson opened the hearing to the public for comment.
Jim McCarthy, 17477 Goodland Path
• With the current development activity in this area, he just wanted to address
how crowded it has become in this quadrant of the I-35/CSAH 46 interchange.
• Wanted to know why the storage facility is taller at four stories than the
apartment building at three stories. He thought it should be the other way
around.
Motion was made by Lillehei, seconded by Drotning to close the public hearing
at 6:39 p.m.
Voice vote was taken on the motion. Ayes – unanimous
Chair Swenson asked for comments from the Planning Commission. Discussion
points included:
• Mr. Licht addressed Mr. McCarthy’s concerns. He indicated that the developer
was required to do a traffic study for this site. Installation of the new traffic
signal currently under construction at the CSAH 46/Kenyon Avenue
intersection will help with traffic flow. Regarding the height of the structures,
the underlying zoning allows up to six stories with a conditional use permit.
These buildings should help buffer noise from I-35 for the neighborhood to the
west.
• Mr. Licht answered Commissioner Bakewicz’s question regarding the
Residential Shoreland Density Reserve, which is also explained in detail in the
April 27, 2017 planning report.
• Mr. Licht confirmed that the impervious surface area requirements are being
met.
• Commissioner Lillehei wanted to recognize the development team as he lives
in this neighborhood and indicated that this was the best neighborhood meeting
he has attended. It was good to have the entire development team in
attendance to answer resident questions.
Planning Commission Meeting Minutes, May 4, 2017 Page 6
• Infiltration and stormwater management on the property was discussed. They
are meeting the City requirements. The proposed development will not impact
the trees along Lee Lake.
Motion was made by Lillehei, seconded by Einck to recommend to City Council
approval of the following, located west of I-35 and south of 162nd Street (CSAH 46):
A. Preliminary plat of three lots and one outlot to be known as Lee Lake Subdivision;
B. Conditional use permit for a planned shoreland development; C. Amendment to the
Jackson Landscaping planned unit development (PUD), and development stage PUD
plans for a 120 dwelling unit multiple family building and a 62,400 square foot self-
storage facility; and D. Vacation of a public drainage and utility easement (Document
No. 3023214) and a public drainage, utility and sloping easement (Document No.
1107262), subject to the seven stipulations listed below:
1. The submitted plans and applications shall be subject to review by the DNR.
2. The developer shall provide the ingress/egress and cross parking and utility
easements over drive-aisles, surface parking stalls and private utilities within Lots
1-3, Block 1.

Development Stage Plan approval.
4. All grading, drainage, erosion control, and storm water management issues are
subject to review and approval of the City Engineer.
5. All utility issues are subject to review and approval of the city Engineer
6. Park dedication requirements shall be satisfied as a cash fee in lieu of land in
accordance with Section 10-4-8 of the Subdivision Ordinance and the 2017 Fee
Schedule.
7. The existing billboard within the subject site shall be removed from the subject site
consistent with Zoning Ordinance requirements prior to the issuance of any
building permits.

foxes pursuant to Chapter 11-35-3.D of the Lakeville City Code, located at 12110 –
210th Street.
Chair Swenson explained the purpose of this public hearing and the purview of the
Planning Commission in regard to this agenda item. Based on the findings, the
Planning Commission will make a recommendation to the City Council. The Planning
Commission will not review or determine whether a fox sanctuary on this property is
appropriate.

development consisting of a 120-unit multiple family building, a 62,400 square foot enclosed
self-storage facility, and a 12,000 square foot multiple tenant retail building on 24.55 acres
located at the southwest quadrant of I-35 and CSAH 46. The subject site is adjacent to Kenyon
Avenue and abuts the east shoreline of Lee Lake. The development requires consideration of
an ordinance amending the existing Jackson Landscaping PUD, Planned Unit Development
District governing the property to allow for the proposed uses, a PUD Development Stage Plan,
conditional use permit for a planned shoreland development, preliminary plat, and final plat. A
public hearing to consider the applications has been noticed for the Planning Commission

ANALYSIS
Comprehensive Plan. The 2008 Comprehensive Plan guides the subject site for commercial
land uses. The retail use illustrated on the site plan is consistent with this land use designation.
Regarding the proposed multiple family use, the City Council, at a work session on 28 March
2016, requested that City staff provide preliminary information as to possible actions that could
be taken within the City’s land use controls to address increased demand for multiple family
development. This effort is being initiated in response to contacts made by several developers
interested in possible multiple family developments and in consideration of the Economic
Development Commission’s 2014-2016 Strategic Plan for Economic Development that
identified high density housing as a strategic priority. Direction was given by the City Council
that City staff will work with developers on consideration of multiple family uses within existing
commercial districts though establishment of a PUD District using the performance standards of
the RH-2 District as a basis. The Planning Commission discussed this issue at a work session on
21 July 2016 and supports the PUD District approach.
Self-storage facilities are generally considered to be a warehousing use allowed in areas guided
for industrial or office park, even though they are accessible to the general public for residential
storage and not directly business related. There have been increasing numbers of self-storage
facilities being constructed in commercial districts within the Twin Cities area. These facilities
can provide for a secondary use of a property that maximizes available lot area and provides
efficiency of development. The proposed self-storage facility shown on the site plan is an
example of such a development approach and is appropriate for the site.
Zoning. The subject site is zoned PUD, Planned Unit Development District and is also within
the Shoreland Overlay District of Lee Lake. Consideration of the retail commercial, multiple
family residential, and enclosed self-storage uses shown on the submitted plans requires
approval of an amendment to the existing Jackson Landscape PUD District and approval of a
PUD Development Stage Plan for the multiple family and self-storage uses. A PUD
Development Stage Plan will be required for the retail building in the future at the time of
3
development. The PUD District will also address the performance standards of the Shoreland
Overlay District as a planned shoreland development in accordance with the provisions of
Section 11-102-21 of the Zoning Ordinance.
Surrounding Land Uses. The subject site is surrounded by the following existing and planned
land uses shown in the table below. The proposed development will be compatible with
commercial uses within the I-35 Corridor and is separated from residential uses to the west by
Lee Lake and preservation of natural open spaces. The proposed development will actually
serve to buffer Lee Lake and residential uses to the west from I-35 traffic related impacts.

Setbacks. The table below illustrates setback requirements applicable to the proposed
development based on establishment of a PUD District and the requirements of the Shoreland
Overlay District as outlined in Section 11-102-13.D of the Zoning Ordinance. The setbacks of
the three principal buildings shown on the submitted plans comply with the Zoning Ordinance.
Off-street parking areas are shown to be setback 15 feet from Kenyon Avenue right-of-way as
required by Section 11-19-11.C of the Zoning Ordinance. Off-street parking areas are also
subject to the structure setbacks outlined in Section 11-102-13.D of the Zoning Ordinance for
the Shoreland Overlay District. All of the off-street parking areas as shown on the submitted
plans comply with the minimum 113 foot setback requirement.

1. Increased setback required per Section 11-102-21.D.2.b of the Zoning
Ordinance for allowed residential density increase.
Open Space. Section 11-102-21.C of the Zoning Ordinance establishes minimum open space
requirements for planned shoreland developments. The Zoning Ordinance requires 50 percent
of the total project area and 70 percent of the Shoreland Impact Zone to be preserved as open
space excluding building foundations, public rights-of-way, off-street parking areas, drive aisles,
storm water basins, and other developed areas. Information included with the submitted plans
indicates that 18.05 acres or 73.5 percent the subject site is preserved as open space. Section
11-102-19.C.3 of the Zoning Ordinance requires that commercial uses without water oriented
needs be located on parcels without water frontage. In order to comply with the intent of this
provision, the entire Shoreland Impact Zone for the subject site is to be platted as Outlot A and
deeded to the City to be preserved as open space. The area of preserved open space within
the subject site complies with the requirements of the Zoning Ordinance.
4
Impervious Surface. Section 11-102-13.F of the Zoning Ordinance establishes limits for
impervious surface for developments within the Shoreland Overlay District to 25 percent of the
lot area. The submitted plans identify impervious area of 3.02 acres of the 15.17 acre non-lake
area of the subject site as impervious surfaces, which is equal to 19.9 percent of non-lake area
of the subject site. The proposed impervious surface within the subject site complies with the
limits of the Zoning Ordinance.
Residential Density. Development of multiple family dwelling uses within a Shoreland Overlay
District as part of a planned shoreland development and PUD District is subject to the density
limits calculated in accordance with Section 11-102-21.D of the Zoning Ordinance. The allowed
density for the proposed residential use is calculated by dividing the net suitable area of each
tier by the single family residential lot size standard for the Shoreland Overlay District
applicable to Lee Lake of 15,000 square feet for a non-abutting lot.
The calculation of allowed residential density is shown below using the information regarding
the tier areas shown on the site plan. Section 11-102-21.D.2.b of the Zoning Ordinance allows
for an increase in residential development density if the minimum setback from the OHWL is
increased 50 percent (to 113 feet), which the proposed multiple family building complies with.

Section 11-102-21.D.2.d of the Zoning Ordinance establishes a Residential Shoreland Density
Reserve of 209 dwelling units that the City may allocate at its discretion to developments within
the Shoreland Overlay District. The City has previously allocated 146 dwelling units from the
Residential Shoreland Density Reserve leaving 63 available. With 63 dwelling units available for
transfer from the Residential Shoreland Density Reserve, the proposed 120 unit multiple family
building complies with Shoreland Overlay District density limits.
Street. Kenyon Avenue is a rural section street abutting a portion of the subject site that will be
required to be upgraded to an urban section as part of the development. An eight foot wide
concrete sidewalk is provided on the west side of Kenyon Avenue south of CSAH 46 to the first
driveway to the Kent 46 development. The City will undertake a public improvement project to
reconstruct the rural section of Kenyon Avenue abutting the subject site and extend the
sidewalk. Right-of-way needs for Kenyon Avenue are subject to review and approval by the City
Engineer.
Access. The uses shown on the submitted plans are accessed via two shared driveways to
Kenyon Avenue. Kenyon Avenue is designated by the Transportation Plan as a major collector
roadway. Section 11-19-7.I.6 of the Zoning Ordinance requires driveway access from a site with
multiple commercial uses to a major collector street be spaced 125 feet from the nearest
5
intersection and 200 feet between driveways. The location of the two driveways to the subject
site are subject to review and approval of the City Engineer. Ingress/egress, shared parking,
and utility easements are required for all drive aisles, off-street parking areas, and private
utilities within Lots 1-3, Block 1.
Off-Street Parking. The table below summarizes off-street parking that will be required to be
provided for each of the uses. The off-street parking requirement for the multiple family use
would be applied through a PUD District based on development within 2,500 feet of a transit
facility and an average of 2.0 bedrooms or less per dwelling unit. The proposed multiple family
building has 1.38 bedrooms per dwelling unit. Depending on the occupancy of the multiple
tenant retail building (with a restaurant or without), the subject site either has sufficient
parking or a parking deficit of 6 stalls by Zoning Ordinance requirements. In that the parking
deficiency by Zoning Ordinance requirements is less than two percent of the required stalls, the
six stalls not provided are anticipated to be off-set by the peak demand of the three principal
uses and the parking provided on site is adequate.

The submitted plans illustrate the surface parking stalls to be nine feet by 20 feet and accessed
by 24 foot wide drive aisles as required by Section 11-19-7.I.1 of the Zoning Ordinance. Building
plans showing the proposed interior parking have been submitted and provide for stalls a
minimum of nine feet wide by 18 feet deep and accessed by 26 foot wide drive aisles. The off-
street parking stalls will be surfaced with asphalt and surrounded by perimeter concrete curb as
required by Section 11-19-7.I.12 and 15 of the Zoning Ordinance.
Building Materials. Building elevation plans have been submitted for the multiple family
building and self-storage building and both include a schedule of exterior materials.
• The exterior of the multiple family building utilizes a combination of brick, stone, cedar
siding and fiber cement siding with articulation of the building elements and changes in
color/texture to provide a varied and attractive appearance for the building that
minimizes mass. The multiple family building is required to comply with the minimum
exterior finish requirements for uses within the RH-1 District as established by Section
11-61-19.B of the Zoning Ordinance. Brick or stone exterior finish materials must be
used for at least 50 percent of the combined area of elevations of the proposed
building. The schedule of exterior materials includes the percentage of each material
6
used on each elevation and the overall exterior of the multiple family building. The
overall use of stone, brick and brick cast concrete exterior materials is 53 percent of the
overall building exceeding the requirements of the Zoning Ordinance.
• The exterior finish for the self-storage building is required to comply with the minimum
exterior finish requirements for uses within the C-3 District. Section 11-17-9.D.1 of the
Zoning Ordinance requires the building 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 finish consists of brick,
two forms of stucco, metal panel, and a glass storefront. Brick, stone and glass are Class
A materials and are 68 percent of the exterior finish. The exterior finish of the
proposed self-storage building complies with the requirements of the Zoning Ordinance
for uses in the C-3 District.
• No plans have been provided for the future retail building. Development of the future
retail building will be subject to the exterior finish requirements for principal buildings
within the C-3 District established by Section 11-17-9.D.1 of the Zoning Ordinance
Building Height. There is no maximum height limit established for a PUD District. The
maximum building height allowed in the underlying C-3 District is three stories or 35 feet,
although buildings up to 6 stories or 65 feet (whichever is less) are allowed as a conditional use
by Section 11-73-7.P of the Zoning Ordinance.
• The multiple family building is to be three stories in height with a flat roof except for a
center architectural design element. The height of the proposed building as defined by
Section 11-17-7.A of the Zoning Ordinance from mean ground level to the mid-point of
the pitched roof portion of the building is 46 feet.
• The self-storage building is proposed to be four stories. The height of the self-storage
building is 44 feet to a flat roof, with a two-foot high parapet, which would screen
rooftop mechanical equipment.
The proposed building heights are consistent with the allowances for structures within the C-3
District and appropriate for the subject site abutting the I-35 corridor.
Residential Floor Area. The proposed multiple family building includes the following dwelling
units shown in the table below. The floor area of the individual units complies with the
requirements of Section 11-17-13.B of the Zoning Ordinance:
7
Unit Number
Of Units

2 Bedroom 34 28% 975sf. 800sf.
3 Bedroom 6 5% 1,218sf. 880sf.
Section 11-17-15 of the Zoning Ordinance limits the number of studio apartments to 10 percent
of the total number of dwelling units. The proposed number of studio apartments within the
proposed building is 22 percent of the total. However, given the location of the proposed
multiple family use within a mixed use development adjacent to the I-35 transit corridor, the
proposed number of studio apartments is appropriate for the development and may be allowed
as part of the PUD Development Stage Plan.
Landscaping. The subject site is mostly devoid of tree cover outside of the shoreline area. The
submitted plans include a landscape plan for the overall site and phase 1 (not including Lot 1) as
required by Section 11-21-9 of the Zoning Ordinance. The landscape plan provides general site
and foundation plantings, screening of off-street parking areas from view of the public right-of-
way and the building from view of residential properties to the west. Landscaping was added
to the site plan adjacent to the drive aisle to/from the underground garage for the multiple
family building to ensure headlight glare is not cast towards Lee Lake. Quantities of the
landscaping are generous and plant sizes comply with Section 11-21-9.C.1 of the Zoning
Ordinance.
Signs. The submitted plans identify the following signs:
• There is monument sign identifying the multiple family building shown to the west of
the north site access to Kenyon Avenue. The proposed sign is setback 15 feet from the
public right-of-way as required by Section 11-23-21 of the Zoning Ordinance. The sign
plan indicates that the area will be 100 square feet or less and comply with Section 11-
23-19.B.1.a(2) regulating signs for multiple family uses within the RH-1 District.
• The self-storage facility has two signs on the east elevation facing I-35, one that is 57
square feet and a second that is 81 square feet. There is also a 36 square foot sign
identifying the use on the north façade along with three directional signs, two that are
seven square feet and one that is 4.5 square feet. There is no freestanding sign shown
for the self-storage facility. Given that the east and north elevations of the self-storage
facility face a public street and shared private drive, installation of signs on both
elevations is consistent with Section 11-23-19.E.1.b(1) of the Zoning Ordinance. The
number and area of the proposed wall signs is also consistent with Section 11-23-
19.E.1.b(3) of the Zoning Ordinance for single occupancy commercial buildings larger
than 45,000 square feet.
8
• No signs are identified for the proposed future retail building on Lot 1, Block 1. Signs for
this use will be subject to the provisions of Section 11-23-15.R and Section 11-23-19.E of
the Zoning Ordinance.
Exterior Lighting. A photometric lighting plan indicating the type, location, height, and
illumination pattern of all proposed exterior lighting has been submitted, which is subject to
compliance with Section 11-16-17 of the Zoning Ordinance. All exterior lighting is to be
shielded as required by Section 11-16-17.B.1 of the Zoning Ordinance and intensity is limited as
outlined by Section 11-16-17.A of the Zoning Ordinance. Pole mounted fixtures are limited to
35 feet and building mounted fixtures cannot exceed the height of the building in accordance
with Section 11-16-17.C of the Zoning Ordinance. The majority of the exterior lighting for the
surface parking areas will be screened from view of Lee Lake by the multiple family building, as
well as existing and proposed landscaping. The photometric lighting plan indicates that no light
is cast onto Outlot A or onto public rights-of-way. The proposed lighting plan complies with
the requirements of the Zoning Ordinance.
Grading. A grading, drainage, and erosion control plan has been submitted for the subject site.
A tree preservation plan identifying existing significant trees and those to be removed has also
been submitted for evaluation in conjunction with the proposed grading plan. Existing trees
within the Shoreland Impact Zone must be preserved to the extent possible in compliance with
Section 11-102-19.A of the Zoning Ordinance. A storm water basin will be constructed within
Outlot A, which will be deeded to the City as required by Section 10-4-4.D of the Subdivision
Ordinance. A privately-owned and maintained storm water basin will be located within Lot 2,
Block 1. All grading, drainage, erosion control, and storm water management issues are subject
to review and approval of the City Engineer.
Utilities. Section 11-102-12.B of the Zoning Ordinance requires all uses within the proposed
development to be served by municipal sanitary sewer and water utilities. The subject site is
within the MUSA and utilities are available at the property for connection. A utility plan has
been submitted and all utility issues are subject to review and approval of the City Engineer.
Easements. All lots proposed as part of the preliminary plat and final plat must provide for 10
foot wide drainage and utility easements at their perimeter as required by Section 10-4-4 of the
Subdivision Ordinance. The final plat illustrates a 10 foot easement abutting the Kenyon
Avenue right-of-way but not along interior lot lines. All easements are subject to review and
approval of the City Engineer.
Park Dedication. The Parks, Trails, and Open Space Plan does not identify acquisition of land
for public park facilities within the area of the subject site. Park dedication requirements
established by Section 10-4-8 of the Subdivision Ordinance will be satisfied as a cash fee in lieu
of land at the time of final plat approval. The cash fee in lieu of land will be determined based
on the following fee schedule established for the respective land uses within the proposed
development:
9
Lot Use 2017 Fee
Schedule

3 Self-Storage $7,693/ac. 0.94ac $7,231.42
Total $255,333.99
Billboard. There is an existing billboard within the property. Section 11-23-15.W of the
Zoning Ordinance makes billboards a principal use of property, which are not allowed to be
located on a lot with another principal use. As such, the existing conditions and removal plan
sheets must identify the billboard and indicate its removal from the proposed PUD
Development Stage Plan.
Neighborhood Meeting. The developer hosted a neighborhood meeting for the proposed
development on 14 March 2017 at Bowlero near the subject site. City staff was present and
there were 30 residents in attendance. Comments received during the neighborhood meeting
were incorporated into the revised plans submitted with the development applications.
CONCLUSION
The proposed Lee Lake Subdivision promotes the goals of the 2008 Comprehensive Plan and
2014-2016 Strategic Plan for Economic Development and is consistent with the approach
discussed by the City Council and Planning Commission for allowing opportunity for multiple
family uses at appropriate locations along transportation corridors integrated with planned
commercial development. The PUD Development Stage Plan for the mixed use development is
further consistent with the intent of Zoning Ordinance performance standards for multiple
family, commercial, and shoreland development. Our office and City staff recommend
approval of the applications subject to the following conditions:
1. The submitted plans and applications shall be subject to review by the DNR.
2. The developer shall provide for ingress/egress and cross parking and utility easements
over drive-aisles, surface parking stalls and private utilities within Lots 1-3, Block 1.
3. Construction of the future retail building on Lot 1, Block 1 shall be subject to PUD
Development Stage Plan approval.
4. All grading, drainage, erosion control, and storm water management issues are subject
to review and approval of the City Engineer.
5. All utility issues are subject to review and approval of the City Engineer.
10
6. Park dedication requirements shall be satisfied as a cash fee in lieu of land in accordance
with Section 10-4-8 of the Subdivision Ordinance and the 2017 Fee Schedule.
7. The existing billboard within the subject site shall be removed from the subject site
consistent with Zoning Ordinance requirements prior to the issuance of any building
permits.

Lee Lake Subdivision is located within subdistrict CL-41200 of the Crystal Lake sanitary sewer
district as identified in the City’s Comprehensive Sanitary Sewer Plan. Wastewater will be
conveyed via existing trunk sanitary sewer to the MCES Burnsville Southwest Interceptor and
continue to the Seneca Wastewater Treatment Facility. The downstream facilities have
sufficient capacity to serve the proposed commercial development.
Development of Lee Lake Subdivision includes the extension of two private sanitary sewer
services that were installed with the Interstate-35/CSAH 46 Interchange Project (City Project
91-3). The sanitary sewer improvements were assessed to the parent parcels and therefore
the lateral sanitary sewer access charge will not be collected with the final plat.
The Trunk Sanitary Sewer Area Charge was previously assessed to the parent parcels. The
assessments have been paid and therefore the Sanitary Sewer Availability Charge will be not
required with the final plat.

The watermain within Kenyon Avenue to serve the proposed development was constructed
with the Interstate-35/CSAH 46 Interchange Project (City Project 91-3) and previously
assessed to the parent parcels; therefore, the lateral watermain access charge will not be
collected with the final plat.
Development of Lee Lake Subdivision includes the extension of the two existing private
watermain stubs located on the parent parcels. Privately owned and maintained 8”
watermain will be extended throughout Lots 1, 2, and 3 to provide water service to the
proposed building improvements.
A cross access easement is required for the privately owned and maintained sanitary sewer
and watermain that will be installed across multiple property lines to serve the subdivision.
Final locations and sizes of all sanitary sewer and watermain facilities will be reviewed by City
staff with the building permit application and final construction plans.

Lee Lake Subdivision is located within subdistrict CL-12 of the Crystal Lake stormwater district
as identified in the City’s Water Resources Management Plan.
Development of Lee Lake Subdivision includes the construction of one publicly owned and
maintained stormwater basin and one privately owned and maintained infiltration basin. The
private infiltration basin will be located on Lot 2, Block 1 and will treat runoff generated from
the roof-tops and green space on the private lot. The Developer shall sign a private
maintenance agreement for the infiltration basin and dedicate a maintenance easement over
the basin area prior to City Council consideration of the final plat. The public stormwater
management basin will be located within Outlot A and will treat runoff generated for Lots 1,
2, and 3, Block 1 and Kenyon Avenue. The stormwater management design is consistent with
City requirements.
Following completion of the site improvements and restoration, the Developer shall conduct
two double ring infiltrometer tests in the location of the infiltration basins to demonstrate
that the design infiltration rates have been achieved. The Developer shall provide a security
to ensure that this testing is completed.
The final grading plan shall identify all fill lots in which the building footings will be placed on
fill material. The grading specifications shall also indicate that all embankments meet
FHA/HUD 79G specifications. The Developer shall certify to the City that all lots with footings
placed on fill material are appropriately constructed. Building Certificates of Occupancy will
not be issued until a soils report and an as-built certified grading plan have been submitted
and approved by City staff.
Lee Lake Subdivision contains more than one acre of site disturbance. A National Pollution
Discharge Elimination System General Stormwater Permit for construction activity is required
from the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency for areas exceeding one acre being disturbed
by grading. A copy of the Notice of Stormwater Permit Coverage must be submitted to the

Development of Lee Lake Subdivision includes the construction of a private and public storm
sewer system. All of the storm sewer within Lots 1, 2, and 3 shall be privately owned and
maintained. The storm sewer within the Kenyon Avenue right-of-way and outlet control
structure for the stormwater management basin within Outlot A will be publically owned and
maintained.
The Developer will re-route the existing storm sewer within Kenyon Avenue through the site
to the public stormwater management basin in Outlot A to provide water quality and rate
control of the stormwater runoff generated within the public right-of-way. The existing storm
sewer currently discharges directly to Lee Lake without treatment and the storm sewer re-
route will provide a water quality improvement to the City’s water resources. The City will
credit the Developer for the cost of the storm sewer re-route and the oversizing of the storm
sewers within the site necessary to convey the additional runoff.
The storm sewer re-route will require excavation within Kenyon Avenue. The Developer shall
maintain traffic at all times during the storm sewer construction.
The Trunk Storm Sewer Area Charge has not been collected on the parent parcels and must
be paid with the final plat.
The Developer will receive a credit to the Trunk Storm Sewer Area Charge for deeding Outlot
A to the City, consistent with City policy. The credit is based on the area of Outlot A at the rate
of $5,500 per acre. The credit will be applied to the final plat cash fees.
The Crystal Lake Surcharge has not been collected on the parent parcels and must be paid
with the final plat.
Final locations and sizes of all storm sewer facilities will be reviewed by City staff with the
building permit application and final construction plans.

Development of Lee Lake Subdivision includes the construction of a privately owned and
maintained big block segmental retaining wall. The proposed retaining wall will be located
within a drainage and utility easement on Lot 2 adjacent to Kenyon Avenue. The Developer
shall enter into an encroachment agreement with the City prior to City Council consideration
of the final plat for the private improvements to be constructed within the City’s easement.
Retaining walls with a combined height greater than four feet shall be designed by a
registered geotechnical or structural engineer and constructed in accordance with plans and
specifications consistent with MnDOT requirements. A separate building permit from the
City’s Building Official is required prior to the construction of the wall. The wall shall be
inspected during construction and certified by the design engineer following construction.
