THE EDISON AT SPIRIT PRELIMINARY AND FINAL PLAT
Proposed Action
Staff recommends adoption of the following motion: Move to approve: 1) a resolution approving The
Edison at Spirit preliminary and final plat, 2) a resolution vacating public drainage and utility easements,
and 3) a resolution designating “No Parking” areas.
Overview
KJPL Lakeville, LLC representatives are requesting approval of The Edison at Spirit preliminary and final
plat and PUD development stage plans for the construction of 160 multiple family dwelling units in the
Spirit of Brandtjen Farm (SBF) planned unit development (PUD). The project is located south of 160th
Street (CSAH 46) and east of Elmhurst Lane. The Edison at Spirit development includes the
construction of a 150-unit, three-story market rate apartment building with underground parking and
five, two-unit carriage house buildings. The Edison at Spirit development complies with the SBF PUD
approved in 2005 and the RH-1 District standards of the Zoning Ordinance. In conjunction with the
preliminary and final plat, underlying drainage and utility easements will be vacated (re-established with
the final plat) and “No Parking” will be designated on the south side of 161st Street.
The Planning Commission held a public hearing on The Edison at Spirit preliminary and final plat and
development stage PUD and easement vacation at their August 16, 2018 meeting. There was public
comment from four Apple Valley residents, concerned mainly about traffic on CSAH 46, and one SBF
resident. The Planning Commission unanimously recommended approval. The Parks, Recreation and
Natural Resources Committee unanimously recommended approval of The Edison at Spirit preliminary
and final plat at their August 15, 2018 meeting.

Primary Issues to Consider
• Why is a parking deferment needed?
The developer proposes to meet the 2.0 parking spaces/unit standard that was allowed with their
Avonlea apartment project by incorporating 27 tandem spaces in the underground parking garage and
proof of parking spaces, which requires administrative approval of a parking deferment. The 27
underground garage tandem parking spaces will function properly provided the apartment
management leases each set of tandem spaces to the same apartment unit. While the Planning
Commission was comfortable with this design, they agreed with the staff recommendation that proof of
parking spaces be shown on the site plan as a backup measure. The attached site plan shows 35 parallel
proof of parking spaces, six of which are located along the north side of 161st Street.

PLANNING REPORT
TO: Daryl Morey
FROM: D. Daniel Licht, AICP
DATE: 9 August 2018
RE: Lakeville – SBF; The Edison @ Spirit
TPC FILE: 135.01
BACKGROUND
JPL Development LLC has submitted plans for the development of 160 dwelling units within a
multiple family building and five secondary carriage house buildings on a lot to be subdivided
from Outlot L, Spirit of Brandtjen Farm Commercial 2nd Addition. The 5.269 acre subject site is
located at the southeast corner of 160th Street (CSAH 46) and Elmhurst Lane. The subject site is
zoned PUD, Planned Unit Development District as approved by the City Council on 20 June
2005. The proposed development requires consideration of applications for a PUD
Development Stage Plan, Preliminary Plat, and Final Plat.

ANALYSIS
SBF Land Use Plan. The SBF Land Use Plan guides the subject site for mixed use development
based on the uses allowed in the O-R District and C-3 District. Multiple family uses are an
allowed use within this area of the SBF PUD District.
Surrounding Land Uses. The subject site is surrounded by the existing and planned land uses
described in the table below. The proposed development will be compatible with surrounding
land uses and will provide appropriate density for development adjacent to CSAH 46 within the
planned mixed use area of SBF.
Direction Land Use Plan Zoning Map Existing Use
North NA NA 160th Street
East Mixed Use SBF PUD District Undeveloped
South High Density SBF PUD District Detached townhouse lots
Single family lots
West Mixed Use SBF PUD District Commercial

PetSmart
Building Plans. The developer has submitted detailed elevation and floor plans for the
proposed multiple family building and carriage houses. The proposed buildings are subject to
the performance standards for multiple family buildings established by Section 17 of the Zoning
Ordinance and for uses within the RH-1 District:
Floor Area Per Dwelling Unit. Section 11-17-13.B of the Zoning Ordinance establishes
minimum floor area requirements for multiple family dwelling units. The floor plans
submitted by the developer indicate that the average number of bedrooms per dwelling
unit for the proposed development is 1.54. The information on the floor plan sheets as
to the floor area for each of the apartment floor plans within the proposed buildings
comply with the requirements of the Zoning Ordinance.

3 Bedroom 7 4% 880sf. 1,337sf.
Carriage (1 BR) 10 7% 700sf. 863sf.
Building Materials. The submitted plans include exterior elevations for the proposed
multiple family building and carriage house buildings, which have an exterior finish
consisting of brick veneer, stone trim, and forms of fiber cement lap siding. The building
plans must be revised to identify the percentage of each material used for all of the
exterior elevations and a cumulative total use of brick and stone greater than 60 percent
3
of the wall area for each building to comply with Section 11-61-19.B of the Zoning
Ordinance.
Building Height. The proposed multiple family building is four stories with a flat roof
measuring 48 feet in height. The proposed carriage house buildings are two stories with
dwelling units over garage stalls having a height of 24 feet as defined by the Zoning
Ordinance to the midpoint of the pitched roofs. The maximum height allowed for
multiple family uses within the SBF PUD District is 55 feet. The proposed height of the
buildings complies with the height allowances for this area of SBF and the flat roof
design of the principal building is appropriate for the mixed use area of SBF.
Lot Requirements. The SBF PUD District does not establish minimum lot area or lot width
requirements for high density residential uses, including those within the mixed land use
district. The SBF Master Land Plan describes high density residential uses as being 12 or more
dwelling units per acre. Section 3 of the SBF PUD Booklet also outlines a key flexibility of the
PUD District as being the transfer of unused development rights within the SBF. The proposed
160 dwelling units to be developed within the 5.269 acre subject site equals a density of 30
dwelling units per acre or 1,435 square feet of lot area per dwelling unit. The proposed density
is appropriate within the context of its location within the mixed land use district of SBF and the
total of 2,109 dwelling units approved to be developed within SBF.
Setbacks. The table below summarizes setbacks applicable to the subject site based on the
requirements established by Section 7 of the SBF PUD Booklet for multiple family development
within the mixed land use district. The site design and setbacks from property lines for the
apartment building and off-street parking areas are consistent with the requirements of the SBF
PUD Booklet and appropriate for the subject site, except for the spacing between the carriage
house buildings.

The proposed carriage house buildings are setback 15 feet apart between buildings whereas 25

medium density townhouse type buildings in other areas of SBF. The carriage houses are a
unique secondary use within the development and flexibility from the 25 foot setback
requirement between buildings is appropriate.
Access. The subject site abuts Elmhurst Lane along the west plat line. The preliminary plat
provides for dedication of right-of-way for 161st Street extending east of Elmhurst Lane at the
SBFC private drive along the south line of Lot 1, Block 1 to the east plat line. The proposed
street section is 32 feet wide based on standard City design plates, which widens to 36 feet at
4
Elmhurst Lane to allow for left and right lanes for west bound traffic on 161st Street. Sidewalk is
shown on both sides of 161st Street as required for all streets within SBF.
Lot 1, Block 1 has two proposed accesses to 161st Street. The westerly driveway is setback 140
feet from Elmhurst Lane with the east driveway setback 60 feet from the east lot line and 320
feet between driveways. The proposed access locations comply with Section 11-19-7.I.6 of the
Zoning Ordinance. The developer will need to provide for an easement and construction of
temporary cul-de-sac at the east terminus of 161st Street. All street sections and construction
plans are subject to review and approval of the City Engineer.
Off-Street Parking. Section 11-19-13 of the Zoning Ordinance requires multiple family uses to
provide 2.5 off-street parking stalls per dwelling unit. The City has indicated that a parking
requirement of 2.0 off-street parking stalls per dwelling unit would be allowed for multiple
family dwelling units meeting certain criteria, such as proximity to transit facilities or transit
corridors and maintaining a ratio of not more than 2.0 bedrooms per dwelling unit. The
proposed development meets these criteria.
The submitted site and building plans provide for 312 off-street parking stalls divided between
82 surface parking stalls, 200 underground parking stalls for the apartment building (of which
27 are in a tandem arrangement), and 30 garage stalls for the carriage house dwelling units.
The number of required parking stalls based on a 2.0 stall per dwelling unit ratio is 320 stalls.
The total of 285 surface and garage stalls for the proposed use (not including the apartment
garage tandem stalls) is 35 stalls less than required.
The developer has indicated that they will provide information from other existing apartment
developments regarding the use of the proposed tandem parking stalls to meet off-street
parking demand. The functionality of the proposed tandem stalls is based in part upon the
management parking stall assignment that can be controlled within an apartment complex.
The Planning Commission may consider allowing flexibility to allow use of the tandem parking
stalls for this development if it is demonstrated that their use is consistent with the intent of
the Zoning Ordinance.
The site plan provides for 29 parallel proof-of-parking stalls. Section 11-19-11.J of the Zoning
Ordinance makes allowance for deferment of required parking stalls for multiple family uses
provided that the developer demonstrates that the use will have peak off-street parking
demand less than that required by the Zoning Ordinance. Approval of the deferment requires
that the site has sufficient property under the same ownership to accommodate the expansion
of the parking facilities to meet the minimum requirements of the Zoning Ordinance if the
parking demand exceeds on site supply. The developer must also enter into a development
agreement, to be recorded against the subject property, that includes a clause requiring the
owner to install the additional parking stalls upon a finding of the Zoning Administrator that the
additional parking stalls are necessary to accommodate the use.
5
The proposed 29 proof-of-parking stalls would reduce the deficit in the number of off-street
parking stalls required by the Zoning Ordinance to six stalls, if the tandem garage parking
spaces are not considered. The site plan must be revised to identify six additional proof-of-
parking stalls that would be needed to meet the requirements of the Zoning Ordinance if the
peak demand for off-street parking exceeds that constructed with the tandem parking
arrangement. To preserve areas within the subject site for greenspace and landscaping, City
staff would suggest the additional six proof-of-parking added shown as bump-out parking stalls
along the north side of 161st Street.
The surface parking stalls are designed as nine feet wide and 20 feet deep accessed by drive
aisles at least 24 feet wide in compliance with Section 11-19-7.I.1 of the Zoning Ordinance. The
surface parking stalls and drive aisles shown on the site plan are to be surfaced with asphalt
and surrounded by perimeter concrete curb as required by Sections 11-19-7.I.12 and 15 of the
Zoning Ordinance.
The underground parking includes 167 stalls (plus 27 tandem stalls) designed as 9 feet wide and
18 feet deep with 24 foot wide drive aisles as allowed by Section 11-19-7.I.3.b of the Zoning
Ordinance. There are to be six parking stalls within the apartment garage are designated as
compact stalls that are eight feet wide by 16 feet deep. Section 11-19-7.I.19 of the Zoning
Ordinance makes provision for up to 20 percent of the required number of parking stalls to be
designated for compact vehicles with dimensions of eight feet wide by 16 feet deep accessed
by 24 foot wide drive aisles. The number of proposed compact car stalls is less than two
percent of the total number of required parking stalls and three percent of the underground
parking stalls.
The 30 garage stalls within the five carriage house buildings are single stall units with nine foot
wide garage doors that are 20 feet deep.
Pedestrian Access. There are six foot wide concrete sidewalks at the front of the parking stalls
on the south and east sides of the multiple family building and a five foot wide concrete
sidewalk between the building and outdoor swimming pool/kitchen area. There is a sidewalk
connection to the public sidewalk on the east side of Elmhurst Trail to the internal sidewalk on
the south side of the multiple family building. A pedestrian connection is also to be provided at
the south building entrance to the sidewalk along the north side of 161st Street.
Landscaping. The developer has submitted a landscape plan that provides for significant
numbers and an excellent variety of trees, shrubs, and perennials at the perimeter of the site,
in each yard, and at the foundation on each side of the multiple family building. Although a
buffer yard is not required for the multiple family use within the mixed land use district of SBF,
the landscape plan provides for dense evergreen tree plantings in the yard abutting CSAH 46.
The types and sizes of proposed plantings are appropriate for the subject site and comply with
the requirements of Section 11-21-9.C of the Zoning Ordinance.
6
Swimming Pool. There is an outdoor swimming pool and outdoor kitchen on the west side of
the proposed multiple family building. The site plan identifies that a fence encloses the pool
area. Details regarding construction of the fence are required to be submitted. The design of
the fence must comply with the design standards established by Section 11-21-5.G of the
Zoning Ordinance.
Exterior Lighting. A photometric lighting plan identifying the type, location, height, and
intensity of all proposed exterior light fixtures has been submitted. All of the proposed
exterior lighting complies with Section 11-16-17 of the Zoning Ordinance, which requires all
exterior fixtures to have a 90 degree horizontal cutoff and be mounted not higher than 35 feet.
Signs. Sign allowances for the subject site are to be as provided for in the O-R District in Section
11-23-19.C of the Zoning Ordinance. The site plan identifies an entry monument at the
northwest corner of the subject site facing the CSAH 46 and Elmhurst Lane intersection. The
sign is setback the 20 feet from both public rights-of-way as required by Section 11-23-21 of the
Zoning Ordinance. Details regarding the area and height of the proposed sign must be
submitted at the time a sign permit is applied for. There are no wall signs shown on the
submitted architectural plans.
Trash. No exterior trash storage is shown on the site plan with a trash storage room shown on
the garage floor plan of the multiple family building. It is assumed that the carriage houses will
provide for storage of waste and recycling containers within the tuck under attached garages
for each dwelling unit.
Homeowners Association. The proposed development is not to be included as part of the SBF
Master Homeowners Association. No access to private SBF HOA facilities will be available to
residents of the proposed multiple family development. The subject site does include an 8,441
square foot clubhouse and outdoor swimming pool/kitchen on the west side of the proposed
multiple family building for resident use.
Park Dedication. Requirements for park dedication the subject site within SBF was established
in the SBF Master development agreement. No land is to be dedicated to the City from the
subject site. As such, park dedication requirements are to be satisfied as a cash fee in lieu of
land calculated as follows:
160 dwelling units x $1,930.00/du = $308,800.00
Grading Plan. The developer has submitted a grading plan for the proposed development of
the subject site. All grading, drainage, and erosion control issues are subject to review and
approval of the City Engineer.
Utility Plan. The subject site is within the MUSA and utilities are available to provide sewer and
water service. The submitted plans include a utility plan for connection of the proposed
7
development to sanitary sewer and water. All utility issues are subject to review and approval
of the City Engineer.
Easements. The final plat provides for dedication of 10 foot wide drainage and utility
easements at the perimeter of the subject site as required by Section 10-4-4 of the Subdivision
Ordinance. The drainage and utility easement along the east line of Lot 1, Block 1 is only five
feet wide in anticipation of development of the outlot to the east. The final plat also proposes
permanent boundary drainage and utility easements within Outlot A. These easements should
be removed and replaced by temporary easements that expire when Outlot A is final platted
into lots. Existing drainage and utility easements dedicated with SBF Commercial 2nd Addition
are to be vacated upon recording of a final plat as they no longer serve a public purpose in lieu
of the easements dedicated with the final plat. All drainage and utility easements are subject
to review and approval of the City Engineer.
Outlot A. Outlot A is the remainder of the subject site less the area of Lot 1, Block 1 and right-
of-way for 161st Street. Outlot A will be retained by the SBF Development Corporation for a
future phase of development.
Development Agreement. The developer is required to enter into a development agreement
with the City in accordance with Section 10-5-1.A of the Subdivision Ordinance for the public
and private improvements, payment of applicable fees, and posting of required securities. The
development agreement will be drafted by the City Attorney and the developer is required to
execute the development agreement prior to City Council approval of the final plat.
CONCLUSION
Development of a multiple family use within Spirit of Brandtjen Farm is consistent with the land
uses and key flexibilities for SBF established with the PUD District. The location of the proposed
multiple family development within the mixed use district of SBF provides for variation in
housing choice within SBF (and the City overall) and will provide in-place market support for
existing and planned businesses in the area. City staff considers the proposed development to
be very positive and complimentary to the uses already developed within SBF. We recommend
approval of the PUD Development Stage Plan, Preliminary Plat, Final Plat, and vacation of
drainage and utility easements subject to the following conditions:
1. The submitted building elevation plans shall be revised to identify the percentage of
each material used for each of the exterior elevations and a cumulative total in
compliance with Section 11-61-19.B of the Zoning Ordinance.
2. The site plan shall be revised to identify six additional proof-of-parking stalls within the
subject site or as parallel stalls along the north side of 161st Street.
8
3. The fence enclosing the outdoor swimming pool shall comply with the specifications of
Section 11-21-5.G of the Zoning Ordinance.
4. All signs shall be subject to compliance with the provisions of Section 11-23-19.C of the
Zoning Ordinance and shall require issuance of a sign permit prior to display upon the
property.
5. Park dedication requirements shall be satisfied at the time of final plat approval by
payment of a cash fee in lieu of land of $308,800.00 based on the formula established
by the SBF Master PUD Development Agreement.
6. All grading, drainage, and erosion control issues are subject to review and approval of
the City Engineer.
7. All utility issues shall be subject to review and approval of the City Engineer.
8. The existing drainage and utility easements within the subject site shall be vacated
concurrent with approval and recording of the final plat.
9. All easements shall be subject to review and approval of the City Engineer.
10. The developer shall execute a development agreement with the City prior to City
Council approval of the final plat, which shall include a clause related to deferment of
required off-street parking stall construction.

Re: EDISON OF SPIRIT OF BRANDTJEN FARM
The Dakota County Plat Commission met on June 11, 2018, to consider the preliminary plat of the above
referenced plat. The plat is adjacent to CSAH 46 (160th St.), and is therefore subject to the Dakota County
Contiguous Plat Ordinance.
The proposed plat is a replat of Outlot L, SPIRIT OF BRANDTJEN FARM COMMERCIAL 2ND ADDITION. There is
no direct access along CSAH 46 to this site. Restricted access should be shown per the underlying plat. The
right-of-way needs and restricted access along CSAH 46 have been met.
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 46 are 24,700 ADT and are anticipated to be 35,000 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.
