RONGITSCH CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT
Proposed Action
Staff recommends adoption of the following motion: Move to approve the Michael Rongitsch
conditional use permit and adopt the findings of fact.
Overview
Michael Rongitsch has submitted an application and plans to construct a single family home with
a shared driveway onto Judicial Road. Section 11-19-11.B of the Zoning Ordinance requires that
each lot has its own direct access to a public street unless a conditional use permit is approved.
The subject property is located at 16009 Judicial Road.
The Planning Commission held a public hearing on September 21, 2017 to consider the
conditional use permit request. The Planning Commission recommended unanimous approval
of the conditional use permit subject to six stipulations. There was no public comment at the
public hearing. Stipulation No. 6 was removed upon submittal of a revised survey showing the
location of the existing driveway as not encroaching over the property line as identified with the
survey submitted with the conditional use permit application. A shared driveway easement
between the two property owners is required to be recorded with Dakota County prior to
issuance of a building permit for the house to be located on 16009 Judicial Road.
Primary Issues to Consider
Is there an alternative access available if the current or future property owners determine a
shared driveway is no longer desired? Adequate space is available on the subject property to allow
the grading and paving of a separate private driveway onto Judicial Road.

6. Spirit of Brandtjen Farm Club House
Chair Swenson opened the public hearing to consider the application of SBF
Development Corp. for PUD Development Stage plans for a community clubhouse in
Spirit of Brandtjen Farm, located south of 162nd Street and east of Eagleview Drive.
Jacob Fick from SBF Development, Inc. presented an overview of the request. He
stated they are proposing to add a second clubhouse in the northeast portion of the
Spirit of Brandtjen Farm (SBF) PUD. He indicated that it will look very similar to a
granary building, trying to keep with the theme for the entire SBF PUD. The clubhouse
will include a party room, a fitness center, bathrooms and locker rooms. The
clubhouse will have restricted hours; the use of a key card for access to the building
and the outdoor pool will be required. Mr. Fick indicated that they considering a
location for an outdoor trash enclosure, if it cannot fit indoors.
Planning Consultant Daniel Licht presented the planning report. Mr. Licht reviewed
the performance standards of the Zoning Ordinance which clubhouse facilities in
residential areas must follow, along with the building design, landscaping, lot
requirements, pedestrian access, off-street parking, the need to include fencing
around the sections of the pool that are not bounded by the clubhouse building, and
exterior lighting, all of which are discussed in detail in the September 14, 2017
planning report. He indicated that if outdoor storage of trash containers is proposed,
details for a structure to enclose the containers that complies with the Zoning
Ordinance must be submitted and are subject to review and approval of City staff.
Staff feels this will be a nice entrance to the SBF development from the north. The
proposed landscaping is extensive; however, staff is recommending additional
plantings along the south side of the lot as well as an internal trail connection to the
sidewalk along Eagleview Drive in the southwest corner of the lot.
Mr. Licht stated that staff recommends approval of the PUD development stage plan
for the SBF north clubhouse, subject to the eight stipulations listed in the September
14, 2017 planning report.

Subject: Packet Material for the September 21, 2017 Planning Commission Meeting
Agenda Item: Michael Rongitsch Conditional Use Permit
Application Action Deadline: October 10, 2017
INTRODUCTION
Michael Rongitsch has submitted an application, survey and site plan for a conditional use
permit to construct a single family home with a shared driveway onto Judicial Road. Section
11-19-11.B of the Zoning Ordinance requires that each lot has it’s own direct access to a public
street unless a conditional use permit is approved.

PLANNING ANALYSIS
The Planning Commission and City Council recently approved a conditional use permit to
allow a single family home to be constructed on this 1.29 acre (Klotz) parcel that is not served
with City sewer. A potential buyer of the property has now come forward with a request to
2
allow the construction of the home further to the rear of the property including a shared
driveway with the property to the north. The existing driveway accesses Judicial Road for the
owner of the house addressed at 16003 Judicial Road. The owner of that parcel has consented to
allow the shared driveway arrangement.
The Benham Investment Company’s Minnesota Orchard Gardens plat was platted in 1912 and
included 159 lots. This area of Lakeville is not served with City sewer or water and is located in
the RA, Rural Agricultural District. There are no plans in place to bring City sewer and water
services to this area for the foreseeable future so residential uses will require private sanitary
sewer and wells until that time.
The two surveys submitted with the conditional use permit application (Exhibits D and E) show
the existing and proposed property conditions. The survey labeled Exhibit E shows the existing
driveway at 16003 Judicial Road being relocated slightly to south to more closely comply with
the minimum five foot setback requirement from the north property line. This action reduces
the non-conforming condition with an approximate three foot setback.
The driveway from the new house will access the existing driveway at a location approximately
340 feet west of Judicial Road. This will allow the east 120 feet of the property adjacent to
Judicial Road to remain as a tree preservation area which will act a natural screen of the house
from the road.
The owner of the property at 16003 Judicial Road also owns a separate non-conforming 15
foot wide, 0.19 acre strip of property that includes all or parts of the existing driveway. These
two parcels shall be combined to eliminate the non-conforming condition. The combination
must be recorded with Dakota County prior to issuance of a building permit for the house to
be constructed by Michael Rongitsch.
The criteria that must be considered with the conditional use permit application can be found
in Section 11-4 of the Zoning Ordinance. The Planning Commission is required to consider
possible effects of the proposed use with its judgement based upon, but not limited to, the
following factors:
1. The proposed use as a single family home has been found to be consistent with the
comprehensive plan.
2. The single family home is or will be compatible with present and future land uses of
the area.
3. The single family home conforms with all performance standards of the Zoning
Ordinance.
4. The single family home can be accommodated with existing public services and will
not overburden the City’s service capacity.
3
5. Traffic generated by the single family home is within the capabilities of the street
serving the property.
A private sanitary sewer system plan has been designed and submitted for a primary and
secondary sewer system on the subject property. The sanitary sewer system is required to
meet design and installation requirements per applicable codes and subject to City approval.
The conditional use permit requires that the use meet the general performance standards
listed in Section 11-4-7 of the Zoning Ordinance. In addition, the applicant must demonstrate
that the development on the subject property will not result in groundwater or soil
contamination.
RECOMMENDATION
Planning Department staff recommends approval of the Michael Rongitsch conditional use permit
for a shared driveway access subject to the following stipulations:
1. The private sanitary sewer design and private well must comply with code requirements and
is subject to approval by Building Inspections.
2. A building permit shall be required prior to commencing any construction on the property.
3. The single family dwelling shall be in compliance with all setback requirements of the RA
District.
4. Dakota County Parcel number 22-13600-000-50 shall be combined with parcel number 22-
13600-000-40 prior to issuance of a building permit for the house to be constructed at 16009
Judicial Road.
5. A perpetual shared access and driveway maintenance agreement shall be submitted to the
City for review and shall be recorded to the property title of both affected properties at
16003 and 16009 Judicial Road.
Findings of fact are attached.
