Planning Commission Meeting Minutes, November 2, 2017 Page 4
built as a six lane divided roadway, the retaining wall will likely be located inside
the clear zone and the County may consider installing a guardrail. He agreed
that it is a safety concern and City staff can re-visit this issue with the County
now that construction of The Moments facility is complete.
• The Planning Commission was in support of the fence variance. They agreed
that the fence needs to be tall enough to block headlights from vehicles that
come off of the exit ramp at CSAH 46. Mr. Morey indicated that the elevation
of the property at the base of the fence is much lower than the elevation of
CSAH 46. The intent of the Zoning Ordinance limiting fence height is to reduce
visual impacts to adjacent properties or public streets. In this instance, the
height of the fence as measured from its base is not as important as the height
of the fence that can be seen above the grade of CSAH 46. Therefore, Mr.
Morey suggested the following revision to the wording for stipulation 2 of the
planning report:
2. The fence shall not exceed 8 feet in height above the elevation of the
property at the CSAH 46 right of way line.
• Mr. Sela indicated that the fence will be built in sections and cables will be
installed within the fence for stability.
Motion was made by Lillehei, seconded by Drotning to recommend to City Council
approval of a variance to allow a commercial fence setback less than 30 feet from a
public street right-of-way, located at 16258 Kenyon Avenue, and adoption of the
Findings of Fact dated November 2, 2017, subject to the following stipulations, as
amended:
1. The fence shall be installed in the location shown on the approved site plan.
2. The fence shall not exceed 8 feet in height above the elevation of the property at
the CSAH 46 right-of-way line.
3. The fence shall be constructed of maintenance free compositing fence materials
in a design consistent with the plan submitted with the variance application and
approved with this variance.
4. Ivy landscaping shall be installed on the north side of the fence in adequate
quantities to provide linear landscape screening of the fence from 162nd Street.
5. The location of the fence within the trail easement is subject to approval by Dakota
County.
6. A building permit shall be issued for the fence prior to construction.

Planning Commission Meeting Minutes, November 2, 2017 Page 5
the property from Medium/High Density Residential to Low/Medium Density
Residential; and C. Zoning Map amendment to rezone a portion of the property from
RM-2, Medium Density Residential District to RST-2, Single and Two Family
Residential District.
Scott Johnson, President of Arcon Land II, LLC, presented a brief overview of their
request.
Associate Planner Kris Jenson presented the planning report. Ms. Jenson explained
the applicant’s reasoning for requesting a Comprehensive Plan amendment to re-
guide a portion of the property from Medium/High Density Residential to Low/Medium
Density Residential. The Comprehensive Plan amendment will be submitted to the
Metropolitan Council after City Council action on the preliminary plat and the
amendment will be subject to the recording of the Cedar Crossings final plat. Ms.
Jenson also explained the applicant’s Zoning Map amendment request and stated
that the request would rezone the remainder of the RS-2 area of the preliminary plat
to RST-2.
Ms. Jenson stated that the developer intends to submit a final plat in two phases for
the entirety of the area preliminary platted by Cedar Crossings and Cedar Crossings
2nd Addition.
Ms. Jenson clarified that the Cedar Crossings lots to the west have not been final
platted so the rezoning of those lots have not gone into effect.
Ms. Jenson indicated that all 15 lots in the Cedar Crossings 2nd Addition preliminary
plat meet the RST-2 District lot area, width, depth and building setback requirements
for single family lots.
There is one cul-de-sac street being proposed with the Cedar Crossings 2nd Addition
preliminary plat. The developer is requesting to reduce the required right of way width
to 50 feet due to the constraints of the creek and the regional pipeline easement.
The developer has included a landscape plan which proposes plantings just outside
the pipeline easement area to provide a buffer for those lots adjacent to or that back
up to Cedar Avenue (CSAH 23).
Ms. Jenson stated that staff recommends approval of the Cedar Crossings 2nd
Addition preliminary plat, Comprehensive Plan amendment and Zoning Map
amendment, and adoption of the Findings of Fact dated November 2, 2017, subject
to the four stipulations listed in the October 26, 2017 planning report.
Chair Swenson opened the hearing to the public for comment.
There were no comments from the audience.
Motion was made by Kelvie, seconded by Lillehei to close the public hearing at

8. Pleasant Hill
Chair Swenson opened the public hearing to consider the application of KJ Walk, Inc.
for the following, located west of Pilot Knob Road (CSAH 31) and north of 180th Street:
A. Preliminary plat of 113 single family residential lots to be known as Pleasant Hill;
and B. Zoning Map amendment to rezone the portion of the property currently zoned
RS-3, Single Family Residential District to RS-4, Single Family Residential District.
Warren Israelson, owner of KJ Walk, Inc. presented a brief overview of the request.
Associate Planner Kris Jenson presented the planning report. Ms. Jenson stated that
the applicant is requesting a Zoning Map amendment to rezone the southern half of
the subject property from RS-3, Single Family Residential District to RS-4, Single
Family Residential District. The RS-4 lot widths and sizes are comparable to the lot
sizes and width of the lots adjacent to the south plat boundary, in the city of
Farmington.

property showing single family and townhome lots, the future extension of roads to the
north of 179th Street, and the easterly extension of 178th Street from Autumn
Meadows.

4. Staff Report: The Lakeville LOOP Circulator Bus service will start on November 9th. City Staff
worked with DARTS to provide this service for members of the community who are over 62
years old. The bus service will provide access to various local businesses and the Heritage
Center.
The Haunted Forest was cancelled due to inclement weather.
Staff provided an update around the Joint Work Session with the City Council and
representatives from ISD 194 that was held on October 30th. The Parks portion of the meeting
started with a discussion on the Indoor Athletic Facility and the next steps in the process. Staff
was asked to compile a pro-forma and come back to the City Council ready to discuss by March
1st. Included in this pro-forma would need to be details around rental commitments and what
costs the associations are willing to absorb. The Task Force is expected to reconvene prior to
the pro-forma being presented to the Mayor and City Council. At this time, a decision on a
specific site has not been made although there is a cost savings if the dome is constructed at
Hasse Arena Site. Committee Members Goodwin and Peterson attended the Work Session and
felt that there was a positive response from those in attendance towards the Hasse Arena
location.
The Antlers Park Master Plan was presented and overall received positive feedback from the
Mayor and City Council. Next steps are to determine how the project will be funded,
suggestions included the sale of bonds, a referendum and phasing the project to spread the
cost out over a couple of years.
Additional items that were discussed included, Avonlea Park Dedication Update and East
Community Park. Staff met with the representatives from Mattamy Homes (developer of
Avonlea Development) on the City’s purchase of 26 acres as stipulated in the Avonlea
Development Contract. There is a possible opportunity for the City to purchase an additional
33 acres from the developer which abuts the 26 acre parcel. City Council was favorable of Staff
meeting with them to further discuss this opportunity. The County has not yet determined
where the 185th Street alignment will be, this street expansion project will decrease park
acreage.
On the topic of East Community Park, feedback from Council members was that this project
could possibly delayed. For these large projects that require additional funding, a referendum
could be voted on as early as November 2018.
5. Cedar Crossings Preliminary Plat:
This plat consists of 15 single family residential lots and one outlot on 7.73 acres located
north of 210th Street and west of Cedar Avenue. The developer has requested to rezone the
plat from Medium-High Density residential to Low/Medium Residential based on the current
successful sales of this type of residence. There are no significant trees located within the plat
boundary, no tree preservation is outlined. There are also not wetlands that will be impacted
with this plat. There will not be a neighborhood park built for this development, the Park
Dedication is recommended to be satisfied with a cash contribution, the nearest
neighborhood park will be Spyglass Park.
Parks, Recreation & Natural Resources Committee Meeting Minutes, November 1, 2017 Page 3
Motion made by Jeanne Peterson, seconded by Tom Goodwin to recommend to City
Council approval of the Cedar Crossings Preliminary Plat subject to the recommendations as
presented by City staff.
Ayes: unanimous
6. Pleasant Hill Preliminary Plat:
This plat consists of 113 Single Family Residential lots on approximately 80 acres. This plat is
located west of Pilot Knob Road and north of the Lakeville City boundary. This parcel is
currently a mix of Medium Density Residential and Single Family Residential, the developer
has requested to rezone all of the lots to be Single Family Residential. The lot sizes will be
comparable to those of City of Farmington that border the south side of the plat. The Park
Dedication will be approximately 6.87 acres, there are no wetlands within the plat boundary.
Committee Members expressed concern with the developer’s Tree Preservation plan; of the
1,490 significant trees located within the boundaries of the plat only 15 will be preserved.
While most of the trees have not been classified as valuable by the City Forester and
Environmental Resources Manager, the Committee has requested that an effort be made to
preserve more trees especially the mature ones.
Committee Member Goodwin also requested that the current tree replacement policy be
updated to something more substantial than the current policy, similar to the policies that
surrounding communities have.
Motion made by Jim Storms, seconded by Lori Bovitz to recommend to City Council
approval of the Pleasant Hill Preliminary Plat subject to the recommendations as presented by
City Staff including working with the developer to preserve additional trees than those that
have been identified in the preliminary plat.
Ayes: unanimous

lights installed. Issues with a street light were also identified, Staff will take steps to follow up
on this issue.

Re: CEDAR CROSSINGS 2ND ADDITION
The Dakota County Plat Commission met on October 2, 2017, to consider the preliminary plat of the above
referenced plat. The plat is adjacent to CSAH 23 (Cedar Ave.) , and is therefore subject to the Dakota County
Contiguous Plat Ordinance.
The proposed plat includes 15 residential lots. The right-of-way needs of 75 feet of half right of way have
been met. Restricted access should be shown along all of CSAH 23. A quit claim deed to Dakota County for
restricted access is required at the time of recording the plat mylars. Turn lanes will be required on CSAH 23
for 205th Street West. The Plat Commission noted that the existing church access to CSAH 23 will be moved
to 205th Street West.
It was noted by the Plat Commission that the “EA Update for the Cedar Avenue Corridor Transitway Study”
identified 205th Street West as a future restricted access and Gemini Trail as a full access. These accesses
may need to be evaluated again with no access planned west of CSAH 23 for Gemini Trail.
The Plat Commission has approved the preliminary plat and reviewed the final plat and recommends
approval to the County Board of Commissioners.
Traffic volumes on CSAH 23 are 12,100 ADT and are anticipated to be 23,000 ADT by the year 2030. These
traffic volumes indicate that current Minnesota noise standards for residential units could be exceeded for
the proposed plat. Residential developments along County highways commonly result in noise complaints.
In order for noise levels from the highway to meet acceptable levels for adjacent residential units, substantial
building setbacks, buffer areas, and other noise mitigation elements should be incorporated into this
development.
No work shall commence in the County right of way until a permit is obtained from the County
Transportation Department and no permit will be issued until the plat has been filed with the County
Recorder’s Office. The Plat Commission does not review or approve the actual engineering design of
proposed accesses or other improvements to be made in the right of way. Nothing herein is intended to
restrict or limit Dakota County’s rights with regards to Dakota County rights of way or property. The Plat
Commission highly recommends early contact with the Transportation Department to discuss the permitting
process which reviews the design and may require construction of highway improvements, including, but not
limited to, turn lanes, drainage features, limitations on intersecting street widths, medians, etc.
Please contact Gordon McConnell regarding permitting questions at (952) 891-7115 or Todd Tollefson
regarding Plat Commission or Plat Ordinance questions at (952) 891-7070.
Sincerely,
Todd B. Tollefson
Secretary, Plat Commission
