other prudent precautions. In the event the City, upon the failure of the Landowner to comply
with any conditions of this Agreement, performs said conditions pursuant to its authority in this

Agenda Item: Hampton Inn Conditional Use Permit
Action Deadline: November 29, 2017 (extended by applicant)
INTRODUCTION
Airlake Hospitality (Hampton Inn) representatives have submitted an application and plans
for a conditional use permit to allow the construction of a four story, 117 room, Hampton Inn
hotel on an existing parcel zoned C-3, General Commercial District, located at 20851 Keokuk
Avenue. The proposed building would be up to 58 feet at the front parapet. The C-3 District
allows a building height up to three stories or 35 feet unless additional height is approved by
conditional use permit. The proposed hotel use is a permitted use in the C-3 District. A similar
request was approved in 2015 for Candlewood Suites, which is located on the other side of
210th Street (CSAH 70) near the subject property. The applicant is requesting conditional use
permit approval for the proposed building height only. City staff will review and approve the
site plan, grading plan, landscape plan, and utility plan separately in conjunction with the
building permit application.

Sections 11-17-7.E and 11-73-7.P of the Zoning Ordinance allow building heights in excess
of three stories or 35 feet, and up to six stories or 65 feet, in the C-3 District subject to
additional setback requirements and approval of a conditional use permit. The front and side
setback requirements are an additional five foot setback for every 10 feet of additional
building height. In this case, the Hampton Inn building would require 20 foot setbacks to the
north and south (side lot lines), a 10 foot setback to the west (rear lot line), and a 40 foot
setback to the east (front property line/street right-of-way). The following criteria must be
satisfied in order for a conditional use permit to be issued for building height in excess of the
standards in the C-3 District:
1. The site is capable of accommodating the increased intensity of use.
Finding: The site plan shows that all setback, parking, utilities, and stormwater drainage
requirements will be met. The site is capable of accommodating the increased intensity of use.
2. The increased intensity of use does not cause an increase in traffic volumes beyond the
capacity of the surrounding streets.
Finding: Engineering staff has reviewed the plans and they do not anticipate an increase in
traffic volumes beyond the capacity on Keokuk Avenue or 210th Street. Due to the location of
the proposed driveway access on the subject property, the developer will be responsible for
traffic safety improvement to Keokuk Avenue as described in the September 28, 2017
engineering report.
3. Public utilities and services are adequate.
Finding: Public utilities and services are adequate to serve the hotel use.
4. For each additional story over three (3) stories or for each additional ten feet (10')
above thirty five feet (35'), front and side yard setback requirements shall be increased
by five feet (5').
Finding: The increased setbacks are shown on the site plan and will be met as described later
in this report.
5. The increased height is not in conflict with airport zoning regulations as provided in
chapter 36 of this title.
Finding: The increased height is not in conflict with airport zoning regulations.

Keokuk Avenue
The parent parcel is located west of and adjacent to Keokuk Avenue, a major collector
commercial roadway, as identified in the City’s Transportation Plan. 80 -feet of right-of-
way way was dedicated for Keokuk Avenue with the Lakeville Commerce Center plat.
No additional right-of-way will need to be dedicated with the site plan application.
Keokuk Avenue is currently constructed as an undivided urban roadway, varying in
width from 44 to 83 feet adjacent to the parent parcel. Keokuk Avenue is currently
striped with one north bound lane and transitions from one to two southbound lanes
adjacent to the parent parcel.
The proposed location of the access driveway does not meet the City’s access spacing
guidelines for a major collector roadway, as required by Chapter 11-19-7.I of the Zoning
Ordinance. In review of the site plan application, the City recommended the Applicant
construct a shared access driveway (with the adjacent south parcel) on the south end of
the parent parcel to align with the existing Superamerica driveway on the east side of
Keokuk Avenue. This driveway location would meet the City’s spacing requirements, but
would require grading and improvements on the adjacent parcel to the south (Lot 1,
Block 1, Lakeville Commerce Center), not currently owned by Airlake Hospitality. The
applicant and property owner to the south have decided not to consider this request and
have therefore proposed the driveway access as shown on the site plan. The City has
agreed to allow the Applicant to proceed with the proposed driveway access location,
with the following stipulations:
• The City’s Traffic Engineering Consultant will review the proposed access
location and recommend design modifications and improvements to Keo kuk
Avenue to ensure that the driveway does not create any public safety issues. The
Applicant shall construct all improvements to Keokuk Avenue with the site
improvements. A building permit will not be issued until the City has
recommended the necessary roadway improvements and the Applicant has
revised the plans accordingly.
• Due to the proposed location of the Hampton Inn driveway and the existing
Superamerica driveway, the City will restrict the access to Lot 1, Block 1,
Lakeville Commerce Center to a right-in right-out. This will require the
construction of a concrete median within Keokuk Avenue. It should be noted that
a full access driveway to Lot 1, Block 1 would have been provided if the shared
driveway access was constructed, as recommended by the City.
• The Applicant shall provide a $10,000 security with the building permit for the
Keokuk Avenue improvements associated with the development of the Hampton
Inn site.

Construction traffic access and egress for site grading, utility and building construction
shall be restricted to one entrance off of Keokuk Avenue.

The applicant shall construct an 8-foot wide public sidewalk along Keokuk Avenue
adjacent to the parent parcel. A $15,000 security will be required with the building
permit for the construction of the public sidewalk. A portion of the sidewalk will be
located outside of the existing right-of-way. The Applicant shall deed to the City a public
roadway easement over the sidewalk located outside of the right-of-way prior to the
issuance of a building permit.

The parent parcel is located within SC-13400 of the South Creek 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 Farmington Interceptor and
continue to the Empire Wastewater Treatment Facility. The downstream facilities have
sufficient capacity to serve the proposed commercial subdivision.
An existing private sanitary sewer service stub, extended from sanitary sewer within
Keokuk Avenue, provides service to the parent parcel.
The Sanitary Sewer Area Charge was collected with the Lakeville Commerce Center
final plat; therefore, the Sanitary Sewer Availability Charge will not be required. The
Sanitary Sewer Connection Charge will be collected for the proposed building prior to
the issuance of a building permit.

Existing 12-inch public watermain extends adjacent to the parent parcel along Keokuk
Avenue. A 6-inch private watermain stub was constructed to the property with the
Lakeville Commerce Center improvements. The private water service will be extended
within the site to provide water and fire suppression service to the proposed building.

The parent parcel is located within subdistrict ML-8 of the Marion Lake Stormwater
District, as identified in the City’s Water Resources Management Plan.
The parent parcel was previously graded with the Lakeville Commerce Center
improvements. The site drains northwest to the on-site wetland and drainage way
through an existing culvert under Keokuk Avenue. The runoff is conveyed to an existing
wetland complex adjacent to Regional Stormwater Basin ML -7-1, located southwest of
and adjacent to Interstate-35 and 205th Street. Regional Stormwater Basin ML-7-1 and
the existing wetland complex drain to the east via a 72 -inch culvert and eventually is
conveyed by way of open-channel flow directly into Lake Marion.
The proposed site adds over an acre of impervious surface which is over the threshold
of the permitting requirements of the MPCA Construction General Permit with respect to

the water quality volume. Therefore, the Applicant must retain on site 1-inch over the
area of the impervious surface of the stormwater runoff generated from the project. The
proposed stormwater management plan consists of a privately owned and maintained
filtration basin and an underground storage chamber and is consistent with the City’s
requirements. Prior to the issuance of a building permit, the Applicant must enter into a
private maintenance agreement for the private stormwater management facilities to be
constructed with the project.
The final grading plan must indicate any proposed borrow areas in which the building
footings will be placed on fill material. The grading specifications must indicate that all
embankments meet FHA/HUD 79G specifications. A final certificate of occupancy shall
not be issued until an as-built certified grading plan has been submitte d and approved
by the City Engineer.
The proposed site plan and improvements contain 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 City upon receipt from the
MPCA.
SSTTOORRMM SSEEWWEERR
No public storm sewer is proposed to be constructed in conjunction with the site plan
improvements. A private storm sewer system will be installed to convey the discharge
from the stormwater management system to the existing on-site wetland.
The Trunk Storm Sewer Area Charge has been collected on the parent parcel and will
not be required with the site plan improvements.

The wetland delineation report was prepared by Westwood Professional Services in
May, 2015. One wetland was identified within the parent parcel. No impacts are
proposed to the wetland. The wetland and wetland buffer shall be placed in a
Permanent Flowage and Conservation Easement and Restrictive Covenant for Wetland
and Wetland Buffer. Any wetland buffer areas that are disturbed, consistent with the
approved plans, will be seeded with an appropriate wetland buffer mix and managed by
the property owner for two years or until they are fully established, as determined by the
City. Natural area signs will be installed at the edge of the wetland buffer by the
property owner. A $1,500 security will be held until the natural area signs are installed.
A $2,000 security will be held until wetland buffer areas disturbed are restored.
