Mr. Morey stated that an e-mail was received from a resident who was unable to attend
tonight’s meeting regarding the land use designation of their property on the 2040
Land Use Plan. He indicated if the Planning Commission has any questions relating

Mr. Morey indicated that there will be a slight change in protocol at tonight’s meeting.
Before Chair Kaluza opens the public hearing, he will ask the Planning Commission if
they have any questions on the various engineering components of the
Comprehensive Plan for the Assistant City Engineer before he leaves for another
meeting.
5. City of Lakeville
Chair Kaluza opened the public hearing to consider the City of Lakeville 2040
Comprehensive Plan.
Daniel Licht, The Planning Company, presented the planning report. Mr. Licht
reviewed the background and the process of updating the 2040 Comprehensive Plan.
He indicated that the 2040 Comprehensive Plan is comprised of several interrelated
chapters and system plans which are listed in his February 15, 2019 memo.
Planning Commission Meeting Minutes, February 21, 2019 Page 2
Mr. Licht stated that communication and transparency was of paramount importance
within the process. To encourage community involvement there were a total of 28
public meetings held throughout the two-plus year review of the 2040 Comprehensive
Plan. Ten neighborhood meetings were held and there were opportunities for public
input via e-mail, an on-line survey, and social media. In addition, staff made
presentations to various community organizations. A forum was also held with
residential developers to obtain their input. Work sessions including the City Council,
Planning Commission, Economic Development Commission, and ISD 194 School
Board were held throughout the process.
Mr. Licht reviewed the continuing growth of Lakeville, Lakeville perspectives, work
force housing, transportation, infrastructure, quality schools, parks and trails, and the
land use plan specifically, including population, community values, and policy
planning.
Mr. Licht reviewed the comments that were received during the mandatory six-month
adjacent jurisdiction review period, which he has listed in his February 15, 2019
memo. These comments were considered by the Planning Commission and City
Council at work sessions in January 2019. The Planning Commission and City
Council considered changes to the MUSA Staging Plan map and/or 2040 Land Use
Plan map requested by five different property owners. Notice of the proposed
changes listed in his memo were sent to property owners within 500 feet for each of
the five requested changes because these requests had not been considered
previously at a public meeting.
Mr. Licht concluded that the City Council and Planning Commission have made a
committed effort to engage the community in the planning process with the result
being that the 2040 Lakeville Comprehensive Plan provides an appropriate response
to the regional policies of Thrive MSP 2040, and the 2040 Lakeville Comprehensive
Plan reflects the interests of the community that will be a useful tool to residents,
developers, and decision makers.
Mr. Licht acknowledged the public and Planning Commission input has been critical
to the process. He described the next steps in this process including City Council
adoption of the 2040 Comprehensive Plan, the subsequent submittal of the plan to the
Metropolitan Council for their approval to be sure it complies with regional policy, and
then City implementation of the plan.
Mr. Licht stated that City staff recommends adoption of the 2040 Lakeville
Comprehensive Plan as presented, including the five property owner requests.
Before the public hearing was opened to public comment, Chair Kaluza asked the
Planning Commission if they had any specific questions for the Assistant City
Engineer regarding Chapters 2-5. There were no questions.
Chair Kaluza opened the hearing to the public for comment.
Shawn Quarandillo, 17647 Heidelberg Way
Planning Commission Meeting Minutes, February 21, 2019 Page 3
• Wants to understand in more detail the time line of the 2040 Comprehensive
Plan.
• When will the land south of Dodd Boulevard be developed.
• Wants to understand the term work force housing.
Allison Krueger, 17296 Joy Ct. (representing 20 fellow Argonne Estates neighbors)
Comments on the proposed change of land use designation for Mills Properties, LLC:
• They understand that this parcel will be developed in the future. It’s currently
zoned Commercial and they do not oppose the proposed change in land use
designation to Corridor Mixed Use. However, they cannot fully support it either
as they are unsure what this new classification means.
• Concerns with what the guidelines will be for the new Corridor Mixed Use
designation.
• Regarding the proposed apartment building for the Mills property, they are
concerned that the density and height requirements for the Corridor Mixed Use
District will be higher than the current High Density Residential requirements
and that the apartment residents will have a bird’s eye view of their backyards.
• The proposed apartment building would be unique in that none of the other
recent apartment projects in Lakeville abut single family homes.
• They hope that the developer of the Mills property will work with their
neighborhood so there is a smooth transition between the apartment project
and their neighborhood.
• They hope the developer and City will work to utilize the existing typography
and mature tree line as a buffer between the apartment project and the
neighborhood.
• Ms. Krueger thanked Planning Department staff for communicating openly with
them about the proposed plans for their neighborhood and they look forward to
working with the City and developers as the 2040 Comprehensive Plan moves
forward.
Robert Kniefel, 11768 – 205th Street
• He was not notified when the property to the south and west of his property
was proposed to be re-guided. He suggested just squaring the land use off and
include his property as Medium/High Density Residential consistent with the
adjacent properties.
Jim Kellison, 3025 Harrison Lane N., Plymouth
• He represents Kami, Inc., the developer that has a purchase agreement on the
property next to Fleet Farm that is proposing an apartment project.
• He indicated that this developer will not move forward with the project unless
they have the approval and support of the City Council, Planning Commission,
and the neighbors.
Planning Commission Meeting Minutes, February 21, 2019 Page 4
• The developer feels this is a good location for an apartment project given its
proximity to the Kenrick Avenue Park and Ride and the I-35/CR 50 interchange.
• They will provide an approximately 100-foot wide buffer area between the
apartment site and the neighborhood.
• Traffic generation from the apartment project will be much less than if the
property was developed for commercial uses.
• In other apartment projects this developer has constructed, typically 30-40% of
the units are occupied by empty nesters and most of the residents have lived
in the building for at least ten years.
• Their buildings are well maintained and the people that live there will take care
of their residence.
Mike Bass, 17352 Joy Avenue
• The property next to Fleet Farm has been zoned Commercial for at least the
13 years he has lived in this neighborhood.
• Feels that the 2040 Comprehensive Plan should be tabled until the Corridor
Mixed Use requirements are established.
• Mr. Bass thinks that the City should leave the Mills property zoned Commercial
in the 2040 Comprehensive Plan and then consider the apartment project after
the 2040 Comprehensive Plan has been approved and the Corridor Mixed Use
District requirements have been established.
• He feels the density will be too high for this particular location.
Chris Shian, 17572 Haverhill Circle
• Wanted to know when Dodd Boulevard will be relocated to the south? He
understood that a trail would be included with the development of the property
south of Dodd Boulevard. Is that still the plan?
Motion was made by Drotning, seconded by Lillehei to close the public hearing
at 6:44 p.m.
Voice vote was taken on the motion. Ayes - unanimous
Chair Kaluza asked for comments from the Planning Commission.
• Mr. Licht answered the questions from the public hearing. Regarding the
Boatman property, the requested land use change is specific to the area east
of Hamburg Avenue and anticipates the realignment of Dodd Boulevard.
Currently there is no time line for the relocation of Dodd Boulevard (CSAH 9).
That is a decision to be made by Dakota County in cooperation with the City.
When the Boatman property develops, right-of-way will be dedicated to
accommodate the realignment of Dodd Boulevard. Mr. Morey added that a
sketch plan application has been submitted for development of the Boatman
property, which could be preliminary platted in 2019. He added that the
Planning Commission Meeting Minutes, February 21, 2019 Page 5
realignment of Dodd Boulevard is not a programmed improvement in the City’s
current Five-Year CIP.
• With respect to the trail question, the 2015 Parks, Trails and Open Space Plan
shows a trail will be constructed along Hamburg Avenue and both sides of
realigned Dodd Boulevard.
• Mr. Licht explained that work force housing is not the same as affordable
housing. The Economic Development Commission is encouraging the
construction of housing that is affordable to workers at Lakeville’s commercial
and industrial businesses. The City has partnered with the Dakota County CDA
on work force housing projects throughout the City.
• Mr. Morey was asked to explain the City’s preliminary and final platting process.
• The Mills Properties, LLC land use request was discussed further, along with
alternatives to changing the existing Commercial land use designation for this
property. If the Mills property land use designation remains Commercial, Mills
Properties, LLC would have to wait until after the Metropolitan Council
approves the City’s 2040 Comprehensive Plan before they could apply to
change the land use designation to either High Density Residential or Corridor
Mixed Use.
• Regarding street improvements, Commissioner Swenson stressed that there is
a process in place, but it takes time. The City has a good track record on
completing street improvement projects that are funded in the Five-Year CIP.
• The Planning Commission thanked the public for their input at tonight’s meeting
and encouraged them to stay involved. By listening to the public comments,
projects can be designed to be a better transition for the neighborhood.
• Chair Kaluza thanked City staff and Mr. Licht, along with the public, for their
work and input on the 2040 Comprehensive Plan. Public input is important to
shaping the plan.
• Mr. Morey stated that staff is working on setting up a system through the City’s
website to communicate updates on the 2040 Comprehensive Plan approval
and the subsequent Zoning Ordinance and Zoning Map updates to the public.
The City wants the process to continue to be transparent as it moves into the
Zoning Ordinance and Zoning Map update.
Motion was made by Lillehei, seconded by Jarvis to recommend to City Council
adoption of the 2040 Lakeville Comprehensive Plan, as presented.
Ayes: Swenson, Jarvis, Lillehei, Kaluza, Witte, Drotning
Nays: 0
There being no further business, the meeting was adjourned at 7:16 pm.
Respectfully submitted,

MEMORANDUM
TO: Daryl Morey
FROM: D. Daniel Licht, AICP
DATE: 15 February 2019
RE: Lakeville – 2040 Comprehensive Plan update
TPC FILE: 135.01
BACKGROUND
Minnesota Statues 473.864, Subd. 2 requires that the City of Lakeville undertake a decennial
review of its Comprehensive Plan to coincide with the review of regional system plans. The
Metropolitan Council has established the ThriveMSP 2040 Plan as the basis for growth and
development within the Twin Cities Metropolitan Area. A draft of the 2040 Lakeville
Comprehensive Plan was finalized for public review in July 2018.
The update process also requires that the City provide the draft 2040 Comprehensive Plan to
surrounding communities and affected jurisdictions for review and comment prior to
proceeding with the process to formally adopt the documents and submit them to
Metropolitan Council. This review period is now complete.
A public hearing has been noticed for the Planning Commission meeting on 21 February 2019 to
consider a recommendation to the City Council as to adoption of the 2040 Lakeville
Comprehensive Plan. The City Council is anticipated to consider the recommendation of the
Planning Commission at their meeting on 4 March 2018. Adoption of the 2040 Lakeville
Comprehensive Plan by the City Council will also include authorization to submit the document
to Metropolitan Council for review.

ANALYSIS
Documents. The 2040 Lakeville Comprehensive Plan is comprised of several interrelated
chapters and system plans addressing the natural environment, land use, transportation, and
community facilities and infrastructure comprised of the following separate documents:
▪ 2018 Land Use Plan
▪ 2015 Parks, Trails and Open Space Plan
▪ 2018 Transportation Plan
▪ 2018 Sanitary Sewer Plan
▪ 2018 Water Management Plan
▪ 2018 Stormwater Management Plan
▪ 2003 Wetland Management Plan
▪ Capital Improvement Plan (updated annually)
▪ Envision Lakeville Community Vision Plan
▪ Downtown Development Guide
The documents of the 2040 Lakeville Comprehensive Plan are to be used collectively by City
officials, residents, business owners and developers as a guide for the continued growth that is
to occur in Lakeville to the year 2040. With the primary focus of the comprehensive planning
process being land use development, the Comprehensive Land Use Plan chapter includes a
profile of the community’s social characteristics and current issues to be further considered in
developing the overall planning documents.
City staff will provide a presentation summary of the 2040 Lakeville Comprehensive Plan to the
Planning Commission prior to opening the public hearing at the meeting on 21 February 2019.
Process. The Comprehensive Plan update process started in Spring 2017 with six neighborhood
meetings held at locations throughout Lakeville. The purpose of the meetings was to engage
community involvement in the process by seeking comments, questions, and feedback
regarding development both city-wide and specifically within individual neighborhoods.
The neighborhood meetings were supplemented by a community outreach effort developed by
the Lakeville Planning Department and Communications Department. Information regarding
the Comprehensive Plan, the planning process, and opportunities for input via email, an on-line
survey, and social media comments were provided via the City’s website and social media
formats. Presentations were also given to community organizations includi ng the Lakeville
Rotary, Lakeville Lions, Active Adults at the Heritage Center, and the Lakeville Office of Edina
Realty to further encourage input on the 2040 Comprehensive Plan. A forum was also held
with residential developers to obtain their input directly as part of the planning process.
Following this initial outreach process, work sessions with the Planning Commission and City
Council were held to consider the community input and establish direction for development of
the 2040 Comprehensive Plan.
3
A draft document was prepared and presented for review by the Planning Commission and City
Council in the fall of 2017. Review of the draft document at this time also included a joint work
session of the City Council, Planning Commission, and Economic Development Commission, as
well as a joint work session of the City Council and ISD 194 School Board. A second round of
neighborhood planning meetings was held in Spring 2018 to receive input on the draft 2040
Comprehensive Plan. Feedback from these neighborhood meetings was considered by the City
Council, Planning Commission, and Economic Development Commission.
The draft 2040 Lakeville Comprehensive Plan document was finalized and approved for
distribution to surrounding and affected jurisdictions for the required review and comment
period. Comments that were received during the review process, including additional requests
for land use changes by property owners, were summarized and reviewed by the City Council
and Planning Commission in early 2019.
Of paramount importance within the planning process has been communication and
transparency. The following is a list of the 28 public meetings held by the City Council, Planning
Commission, Economic Development Commission and public neighborhood meetings
conducted throughout this two-plus year process:

Review Period Comments. Comments received during the mandatory review period for
affected and adjacent jurisdictions were considered by the Planning Commission and City
Council at meetings in January 2019. These comments included the following changes to the
MUSA Staging Plan map and/or 2040 Land Use Plan map requested by property owners. The
Planning Commission recommended and the City Council directed that notice of the proposed
changes outlined below be sent to property owners within 500 feet as these requests had not
been considered previously at public meetings.
▪ Boatman (SE quadrant of Dodd Blvd./Hayes Ave.): The 2040 Land Use Plan has been
modified to guide M/HDR uses north of future 179th Street and LDR uses south of future
179th Street. The Planning Commission and City Council supports the requested land
use change as being more compatible with existing and planned land uses in the area.
▪ Mills Properties LLC (NE quadrant of Kenrick Ave./173rd St.). A developer with an option
on the property is proposing development of the 8.3 acre subject site with a multiple
family use. The developer is requesting changing the guided land use of the property
from commercial to corridor mixed use. The Planning Commission discussed that
multiple family use at this location would provide more of a transitional land use along
173rd Street to an existing single family neighborhood to the east than the currently
guided commercial use. The City Council concurred but has concerns regarding area
transportation that would be subject to review as part of a future zoning application.
▪ Kniefel (south side of 205th St. west of Keystone Ave.). The property owner requests the
property be included in the MUSA and be guided for urban uses. The Engineering
Division has reviewed the sanitary sewer collection plan and determined that the parcel
can be served by gravity sanitary sewer. The draft Comprehensive Plan has been
revised to include the property in the MUSA and guide it for M/HDR consistent with
existing and planned urban land uses in the area.
▪ Piston Pete’s (north side of 215th St. (CSAH 70) east of Jacquard Ave.). Piston Pete’s is
an existing major auto repair use, which is not allowed within the current OP land use
designation or corresponding O-P, Office Park zoning district. The subject site and those
to the east extending to Dodd Boulevard access 215th Street (CSAH 70) directly and will
be affected by future expansion of this roadway. The requested change for the subject
site (and those to the east to Dodd Boulevard) will allow for a continuation of the
existing uses and development of uses compatible with these uses. The 2040 Land Use
5
Plan has been modified to guide the subject site and properties east to Dodd Boulevard
for W/LI land uses.
▪ ISD 194 District Office (210th St. east of Holyoke Ave.). ISD 194 is in the process of
relocating its existing administrative offices from this location. City staff contacted ISD
194 officials to propose changing the land use designation of the site to
Office/Residential Transition to provide opportunity for reuse and/or sale of the
property. The proposed Office/Residential Transition land use will be consistent with
the existing church use to the west and compatible with the high density residential use
to the east. ISD 194 officials have agreed with City staff’s recommended land use
change. The Planning Commission and City Council directed modification of the 2040
Land Use Plan accordingly.
CONCLUSION
Lakeville has actively sought to plan for anticipated urban development for more than 40 years.
A comprehensive plan was first adopted in 1964 when the community was still a village and
rural township, followed by an update in 1968 after incorporation as a municipality. In 1975,
Lakeville adopted a comprehensive plan update in response to the initial regional policies
developed by the Metropolitan Council. Comprehensive plan updates occurred in 1981, 1988,
1998, and most recently in 2008.
These past planning efforts, and their continual implementation over time, ha ve established a
consistent direction for the changes that have occurred in Lakeville. These past policies
represent a foundation for the current comprehensive planning process such that the 2040
Lakeville Comprehensive Plan is to be viewed as a refinement of the community’s development
framework in response to the opportunities and challenges present in today’s local and regional
environment.
The effectiveness of a comprehensive plan is greatest when the community sets the agenda for
development of the goals, policies, and plans being formulated. The City Council and Planning
Commission have made a committed effort to engage the community in this most recent
planning process. The result of this process is that the 2040 Lakeville Comprehensive Plan
provides an appropriate response to the regional policies of Thrive MSP 2040. At the same
time, the 2040 Lakeville Comprehensive Plan reflects the interests of the community and will be
a useful tool to residents, developers, and decision makers in the years ahead.
Our office and City staff recommend adoption of the 2040 Lakeville Comprehensive Plan as
presented.

Dear Mr. Morey:
Thank you for the opportunity to review the draft City of Lakeville 2040
Comprehensive Plan Update. Dakota County staff reviewed the Plan for consistency
with the County’s Comprehensive Plan and policies. Dakota County staff comments
on the plan are on the following page.
Please contact Kurt Chatfield (952-891-7022, kurt.chatfield@co.dakota.mn.us) if
you would like to discuss the County review. We look forward to working with the
City of Lakeville to achieve our shared objectives.
Sincerely,

Dakota County staff reviewed the following individual plans that comprise the City of Lakeville 2040
Comprehensive Plan:
• Land Use Plan
• MUSA Staging Plan
• Proposed 2040 Land Use Plan and Map
• Sanitary Sewer Collection System Plan
• Water System Plan
• Water and Natural Resources Management Plan
TRANSPORTATION
The City of Lakeville 2040 Transportation Plan Update appears to be consistent with Dakota County’s
plans including the 2030 Dakota County Transportation Plan (adopted in 2012) and the Transportation
chapter of the Draft Dakota County 2040 Comprehensive Plan. Note that Dakota County intends to
update its full Transportation Plan in 2019 to reflect local Comprehensive Plan updates and any studies,
analysis and policy updates that have occurred since 2012.
Travel Demand Forecast
After consultation with Metropolitan Council staff, Dakota County is presenting its original 2030 travel
demand model projections with updated existing volumes and appropriate adjustments and using it as
the 2040 travel demand projection for the Dakota County Comprehensive Plan. Dakota County will
update the 2030 travel demand model to reflect forecast 2040 population as part of its full
Transportation Plan Update after the cities complete their respective comprehensive plan updates. This
allows the County model to reflect the 2040 demographic projections currently being established by
each community and is consistent with the process used for the last County comprehensive plan update.
Dakota County will use the City of Lakeville 2040 Transportation Plan Update and travel demand
modelling information as a basis for our future travel demand model update. When comparing the
County’s 2030 travel forecast with the City’s 2040 travel forecast several only slight differences were
identified.
Functional Classification System
The functional classification shown by Lakeville is consistent with what is shown by the Dakota County
and the Metropolitan Council’s Functional Classification maps with the following exceptions on page 15:
• Please consider expanding the A-Minor Arterial Functional Classification category to include the
subcategories of Augmenter, Reliever, Expander, and Connector.
• County State Aid Highway (CSAH) 60 (185th Street) is appropriately identified as an A-Minor Arterial
with the exception of a segment between Jaeger Path and Ixonia Avenue, which is incorrectly
identified as a Minor Collector. Please consider changing this segment to A-Minor Arterial.
Future Functional Classification System
Page 15, Figure 2, Existing and Future Roadway Functional Classification Map identifies the proposed
functional classification within the city. It appears that what the City has identified for future functional
classification of highways is consistent with past studies conducted by the County.
Jurisdictional Transfers
The City’s plan identifies planned and programmed improvements and coordination with other
agencies, but does not identify future jurisdictional transfers of roadways as identified in the Dakota
County 2030 Transportation Plan. Please consider including the following highway segments identified
as future City streets:
• CSAH 9 (Dodd Boulevard), between Highview Avenue and CSAH 31 (Pilot Knob Road), from County
to City jurisdiction.
o The Dakota County 2030 Transportation Plan identifies the turnback of this highway
simultaneously with the County taking over jurisdiction of the new 179th Street alignment.
The County also recognizes the need for improvements to both CSAH 9 (Dodd Boulevard)
and 179th Street as part of the jurisdictional exchange process. We plan to work together
with the City in 2019 to define these improvements prior to any jurisdictional changes.
• County Road (CR) 64 (200th Street), between CSAH 23 (Cedar Avenue) and the east city boundary,
from County to City jurisdiction.
o The Dakota County 2030 Transportation Plan identifies the turnback of this highway once
the new 185th Street to 195th street connection east of CSAH 23 (Cedar Avenue) is made.
• CSAH 50, between CSAH 23 (Cedar Avenue) and the east city boundary, from County to City
jurisdiction.
o The Dakota County 2030 Transportation Plan identifies the turnback of this highway once
the new CSAH 70 (215th Street) alignment from CSAH 23 (Cedar Avenue) to County 31
(Denmark Avenue) is made.
Roadway Capacities and Deficiencies
It appears the Lakeville 2040 Forecast Traffic Volumes generally are consistent with the Draft Dakota
County Comprehensive Plan, DC 2040 Projected 2040 Traffic Volumes and the Dakota County 2030
Transportation Plan projected 2030 traffic volumes. When identifying future forecasted capacity
deficiencies, both the City and County identify “Over Capacity” as volume/capacity > 1.00 and
“Approaching Capacity” as volume/capacity > 0.85 and <1.00.
Page 32, Figure 8, Future Forecasted (2040) Capacity Deficiencies is not consistent with the Dakota
County 2030 Transportation Plan Highway Capacity Deficiencies (page 2-16, Figure 5, Dakota County
Highway Capacity Deficiencies, 2030). If the City and County 2040 projected volumes are similar, the
maps also should be similar. County staff suggests re-evaluating Figure 8 to confirm that all roadway
segments with forecasted 2040 volumes approaching capacity or over capacity are correct.
New Lanes on County Highways
Page 38, Figure 10, Recommended Roadway System Improvements – please consider revising the map
to identify the following improvements and lane needs as identified in the Draft Dakota County
Comprehensive Plan, DC 2040:
• CSAH 9 (Dodd Boulevard), between CSAH 50 (Kenwood Trail) and CSAH 70 (215th Street), as a four-
lane need.
• CSAH 23 (Cedar Avenue), between CSAH 46 (160th Street) and Griffon Trail, as exceeding six-lane
needs.
• CSAH 60 (185th Street), between CSAH 50 (Kenwood Trail) and Italy Avenue, as a four-lane need.
• CSAH 70 (210th Street), between Holyoke Avenue and CSAH 23 (Cedar Avenue), as a four-lane need.
• CSAH 70 (210th Street), future alignment between CSAH 23 (Cedar Avenue) and the east city
boundary, as a four-lane need.
• 179th Street (future CSAH 9 alignment), between Highview Avenue and CSAH 23 (Cedar Avenue), as
a four-lane need.
• 185th Street (future CSAH 60 alignment), between CSAH 9 (Dodd Boulevard) and the east city
boundary, as a four-lane need.
New Development Impacts to County Systems / Future Studies
The County will continue to monitor and work with the City in addressing the transportation needs of
new development in Lakeville. All new County highway alignments are properly identified in the City’s
Plan update.
Transit
County staff has the following comments regarding the transit section of the plan update:
• Page 46 – under Ridesharing – Please consider revising to reflect that the Metropolitan Council and
Metro Transit manage vanpool and carpool matching services in the region.
• Page 47 – Please consider revising to reflect that DARTS is no longer the provider of ADA dial-a-ride
service and Metro Mobility provides this service.
• Page 48 – Please consider identifying the general dial-a-ride services that are already available in
Lakeville through Transit Link.

LAND USE PLAN
Landfill abatement is not required in City Comprehensive Plans, so it is commendable that the Lakeville
plan identified the City’s role in education on proper waste management and recycling. Municipalities
have solid waste management responsibilities in state law and County Ordinance and are required to
meet County Solid Waste Master Plan objectives, such as working to achieve the State’s 75 percent
recycling rate by 2030. Since the City has included content on solid waste in their plan, County staff has
a few suggestions for increasing consistency with the County’s recently adopted Solid Waste Master
Plan, as follows:
1. The Land Use Plan, page 18, directs future development to pay particular attention to using
land in a manner that respects the natural environment and to incorporate policies and best
practices that mirror the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency’s GreenSteps Cities
program. GreenSteps best management practices for waste management provide an
additional resource to consider.
2. Incorporating waste and recycling considerations during development, such as:
• Recycling stations in high pedestrian traffic areas being planned
• Encourage recycling and organics recycling, as appropriate, during new and
redevelopment projects
• Encourage standards that allow adequate space (indoor and outdoor) for recycling and
organics recycling collection, as appropriate (business, multi-unit dwellings).
PARKS
The County recognizes that the Lakeville 2015 Parks Plan is included as part of the 2040 Comprehensive
Plan. Please consider including updated regional greenway maps consistent with the Dakota County
2040 Comprehensive Plan, Parks Chapter 4, page 79.
Lakeville Transportation Plan Page 59
Aviation Plan
A portion of Airlake Airport lies in southern Lakeville as shown in Figure 14. Airlake Airport is a
Metropolitan Airports Commission (MAC) reliever airport serving the community's corporate and
private aviation needs. Airlake Airport primarily serves private and recreational pilots and features a
single 4,099-foot runway. The airport annually experiences more than 34,000 landings and take-offs.4
There are 140 aircraft based at the airport, the majority being single engine airplanes.
Small unmanned aircraft systems (sUAS,) commonly called drones under 55 pounds, are not allowed
to be operated within 5 miles of active airports.
Structures which are 200 feet or higher above ground level may pose hazards to air navigation.
Lakeville has no existing structures of this height, does not permit such structures under its zoning
ordinance, and has no plans to permit such structures in the future. The Federal Aviation
Administration (FAA) requires the FAA Form 7460-1 “Notice of Proposed Construction or
Alteration,” under code of federal regulations CFR-Part 77, be filed for any proposed structure or
alteration that exceeds 200 feet. FAA Form 7460-1 can be obtained from FAA headquarters and
regional offices. These forms must be submitted 30 days before alteration or construction begins or
the construction permit is filed, whichever is earlier. MnDOT must also be notified per MnDOT
Rules Chapter 8800. The Minneapolis-St. Paul (MSP) airport community land use safety zoning
ordinance should also be considered when reviewing construction in the City that raises potential
aviation conflicts.
An airport's airspace must be protected from potential obstructions and electronic interference to
aircraft operation. Specific State requirements to protect airspace include forming a joint airport and
community zoning board, defining an airport zoning district, and implementing an airport zoning
ordinance including land use safety zoning. These activities need to be put in place by Airlake
Airport communities. In preparing an ordinance the City should review the recent changes to
MnDOT Rules Chapter 8800.
The Airlake Airport 2035 Comprehensive Plan Update was updated in 2018. The plan includes the
addition of 79 hangar spaces by 2025, developed on an as-needed basis and an extension of Runway
12-30 to 5,000 feet with Hangar Area Development. The anticipated timeline for these
improvements has not yet been established but will be in part based upon the availability of
water/sewer services. Forecasts done for the Airlake Airport 2025 Comprehensive Plan indicate that
the airport is currently operating at 25 percent capacity. Even under the high scenario, the forecast
number of operations in 2025 does not trigger the need for additional runways at Airlake Airport.
However, that can change based on demand which is difficult to forecast beyond 10 years. The
Airlake Airport was partially annexed by the City of Lakeville in 2018.
It is important to note that FAA safety zone requirements have changed since the original Airlake
Airport runway was constructed. The current alignment of Cedar Avenue (CSAH 23) is technically
in the safety zone so any changes to the roadway, such widening or adding turn lanes, may trigger
the realignment of the roadway regardless of the need to expand the runway at that time. The
4 Source: www.airnav.com
Lakeville Transportation Plan Page 60
Metropolitan Council’s 2040 Transportation Policy Plan identifies the region-wide need for
additional runway and hangar area improvements for traditional general aviation users, for new light
sport aircraft and for very light jets that will soon be joining the fleet. Some of this growth is
expected to utilize the Airlake Airport.
Heliports
There is no stand-alone heliport within the City of Lakeville. Helicopter operations, including
emergency medical services, take place at Airlake Airport.
Floatplanes and Seaplanes
Two lakes within the City of Lakeville, Lake Marion and Orchard Lake, are designated in Minnesota
State Rules Chapter 8800.2800 as authorized for purposes of safe floatplane and seaplane use. The
operation of floatplanes and seaplanes on Lake Marion and Orchard Lake must conform to all
applicable marine traffic rules and regulations.

Comments:
Third bullet item, the 55 and 60 DNL noise contours are shown in the 2035 Airlake Airport Long-Term
Comprehensive Plan for advisory purposes but are not linked to any requirements for noise attenuation
or mitigation. The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) considers the 65 dB DNL contour as the
threshold of significance for noise impact. As such, sensitive land uses – such as residential – around
airports that are within the 65 dB DNL contour or greater are considered incompatible by the FAA. The
FAA also requires homes within the 65 dB DNL contour be tested to determine if the interior noise levels
are greater than 45 dB in order to be approved for sound insulation. Aircraft noise impacts will be
further evaluated during the upcoming environmental review for the proposed airport improvements.
If, during the environmental study, it appears that the future 65 DNL noise contour would encompass
residential land uses, MAC will work with the City to develop an interior sound-level testing program to
determine if the structures would be eligible for sound insulation.

FROM: Mark Ryan, Vermillion River Watershed Joint Powers Organization (VRWJPO)
RE: VRWJPO Comments on City of Lakeville Water and Natural Resources Management Plan
The Vermillion River Watershed Joint Powers Organization (VRWJPO) received the City of Lakeville’s (the
“City”) request for review of the City’s Water and Natural Resources Management Plan (WNRMP or
Plan) with its Comprehensive Plan notice. This WNRMP covers the period of 2018-2027, replacing the
2008 Water Resources Management Plan, and prepared in accordance with Minnesota Statutes
103B.235 for local water management plans. After reviewing the Plan, the VRWJPO has the following
comments:
• Section 2.1.4.4: the first sentence on page 2-7 does not make clear that permits are issued and/or
required by the City the way that it is written. This sentence or a similar one also occurs in other
sections on ordinances and standards like 2.3.4. The “triggers” for VRWJPO review could be stated
explicitly if not mentioned later.
• Section 2.2.3: A policy related to use of updated precipitation models (i.e., Atlas 14) should be
noted, and it could simply reference section 3.1 where the climate and precipitation is discussed.
The policy could also be broader and related to the City’s intent to manage the risks of changing
precipitation patterns. This would fit well with the VRWJPO goal to “improve watershed resilience
to changing precipitation and temperature patterns” that is not well referenced in the plan
currently.
• Section 3.7.2.1: While the main stem of the Vermillion River is not located in the City of Lakeville,
the City is identified in an “assist as needed” role in the Vermillion River Watershed Restoration and
Protection Strategies (WRAPS) from 2015 for the turbidity/total suspended solids (TSS) impairment
on the upper main stem (reach 517). This impairment and Lakeville’s role could be noted in the
section along with the table of impairments but may not make sense being included in the table
with the impaired waters actually located in the City.
• Table 3-3: South Creek (070400001-527) is also impaired for Fisheries Bioassessments and
Macroinvertebrate Bioassessments (Aquatic Life) as of the Vermillion River WRAPS. Stressors for
fish and macroinvertebrates identified in the WRAPS report could be pulled into this section or
discussed in Section 3.11 as well.
• Section 3.11: As a call back to the comment above on fish and macroinvertebrate impairments in
Table 3.3, perhaps information on the fish and macroinvertebrate bioassessment impairments
should be added to this section.
• Section 4.3.2: In the last paragraph on page 4-6, clarify that the VRWJPO does “not currently
implement a permitting program in any communities where the local government unit satisfactorily
maintains and implements project review and permitting programs…” The VRWJPO does currently
implement a permit program only in Eureka Township where the community does not implement
project review for water resources. This is addressed correctly later in section 4.7.
• Section 4.7 and Table 4.3: The Erosion and Sediment Control ordinance may require updating after
completion of the plan to remain in line with the VRWJPO Standards based on the 2016 VRWJPO
Plan update. Section 7 of the VRWJPO Standards would be the source/driver for any additional
erosion and sediment control requirements on top of the Construction Stormwater General Permit.
• Appendices: It might be beneficial to include any report outputs of the 2015 stormwater modeling
update (in XP-SWMMM) as an appendix, or at least any pertinent tables or figures.
Thank you for the opportunity to provide comments, and please feel free to contact me with any follow-
up questions on the comments provided. When the Plan is finalized, the City should submit a formal
request to the VRWJPO in order for the Vermillion River Watershed Joint Powers Board to approve the
Plan per State requirements.

Subject:RE: Request for information prior to 2/21 public hearing
Date:Tuesday, February 12, 2019 11:49:00 AM
Allison,
Thank you for your email regarding the Comprehensive Plan public hearing. I am aware that you have contacted
City Attorney Andrea McDowell-Poehler, but at this time the Planning Department will respond to your questions
related to the land use and zoning of the property.
The City has not received an application for rezoning the three parcels owned by Mills Properties Inc. The February
21 public hearing is only for the 2040 Comprehensive Plan, which includes the Land Use Plan. In 2017 and 2018,
the City held public open house meetings for residents regarding the comprehensive plan. Last July, the draft plan
was distributed to adjacent and affected jurisdictions for a required 6 month review and comments period. After the
draft plan was distributed, the City received five requests from property owners or their representatives for changes
to the draft plan. After the 6 month review period ended in early January, 2019, the Planning Commission and City
Council held work sessions to review comments received regarding the draft plan, including the five proposed
changes. The City Council directed staff to provide public hearing mailings to all property owners within 500 feet of
the requested property changes to provide neighboring residents the opportunity to comment, given that the requests
came after the public open house meetings.
Staff has been contacted by a development firm interested in developing the three parcels north of 173rd Street,
owned by Mills Properties Inc., for high density housing. At this time, however, no planning related development
applications for the site have been submitted.
The draft 2040 Comprehensive Plan that was distributed for review is available here:
http://www.lakevillemn.gov/762/2040-Comprehensive-Plan. Staff is working on revisions to the draft plan based on
comments received from adjacent and affected jurisdictions and a copy of the final draft will be available on the
City website by the end of the week.
If you have additional questions, please let me know.
Kris

Ms. Jenson,
I’m writing to request a copy of the Mills Properties LLC application to rezone the area off of 173rd Street and
Kenrick Ave. I live in the Argonne Estates neighborhood which butts up against the parcel they are interested in
developing. Prior to the hearing, we would like to have some more information regarding the type of development

Michael,
Thank you for your email regarding the 2040 Comprehensive Plan.
The Corridor Mixed Use land use designation is new to the comprehensive plan and as such a zoning district will need to be created
to address this type of development. The draft 2040 Comprehensive Land Use Plan states that “The CMU land use category is to
allow for development of high density residential dwellings with a base density allowance of 26 dwelling units per acre and
commercial retail, service, and office uses in stand alone or mixed use buildings. The form of development within areas guided for
CMU uses should be compact, oriented towards the streetscape and providing for non-vehicular access and circulation.” The specifics
of the district will be determined through the zoning district created to accommodate this land use. The process of creating that
zoning district will be a part of the overall Zoning Ordinance update that takes place after the Comprehensive Plan is submitted to
the Metropolitan Council.
Attached to this email is the district map for District 1, which was included in the draft plan made available for adjacent and affected
jurisdiction review in July, 2018. This draft district plan shows three other parcels north of the Fleet Farm site and along Kenrick
Avenue that are proposed to be guided CMU as well. One is the Connelly manufactured home park and the other is two vacant
parcels at the southeast corner of 167th Street and Kenrick Avenue, directly across from the Kenrick Avenue Park and Ride. There are
other parcels proposed for this land use designation within the Cedar Avenue corridor as well.
The City of Lakeville is holding a public hearing on the 2040 Comprehensive Plan, of which the Land Use Plan is one chapter. The
request from the property owner’s representative was submitted to the City after the public meetings held in 2017 and 2018 and
after the draft plan was distributed for adjacent and affected jurisdiction comment. Because of that, the Planning Commission
requested and the City Council directed staff to provide mailed notice to all property owners within 500 feet of the areas of
requested change.
If you have additional questions, please let me know.

Subject: Consideration of the City of Lakeville 2040 Comprehensive Plan
Dear Mrs. Jenson,
On February 9, 2019, I received a letter about the Public Hearing Notice for change of land use
designation of properties owned by Mills Properties LLC.
The request is to change the property from Commercial to Corridor Mixed Use. How is Corridor
Mixed Use defined by the City of Lakeville? What is the expected share of individual land use and
the permitted density range for residential use? (For example. Mixed Use Downtown might have an
expectation of 30% commercial, 40% office, and 30% residential with a density of 10-15 units per
acre). Being that essentially one piece of property is being proposed for change of land use
designation will that piece of property need to contain a mix of retail, service, and high density
residential dwellings?
The properties have been zoned Commercial for more than 10 years, when I reviewed the 2030
Comprehensive Plane. Why is City of Lakeville holding a public hearing to request the change these
properties to Corridor Mixed Use?
Best Regards,
Michael Bass

Shawn,
Your email will be shared with the Planning Commission.
Regarding wetlands, any property that is proposed for development must determine if there are wetlands on the property and if so,
delineate those wetlands and determine their type. The three parcels owned by Mills Properties Inc north of 173rd Street do not
appear to have wetlands on the property, but as previously noted, if a development is proposed for the property, a wetland
determination must be completed. Mills Properties Inc does own an additional 2 properties south of 173rd Street and east of Kenrick
Avenue that do appear to include significant wetland areas. Those two parcels are not a part of this request.
After the public hearing and discussion, the Planning Commission will make a recommendation to the City Council about the 2040
Comprehensive Plan. The plan then moves forward to a City Council meeting in March. If the City Council approves the plan, it will be
forwarded to the Metropolitan Council for their review and approval, which will take approximately 4 months.
Please let me know if you have additional questions.

This is my notice that I am 100% not in favor of the land being changed from Commercial to
Corridor Mixed Use (CMU) anticipates those same commercial uses as well as high density housing. I
am concerned about the extra traffic in front of Goodyear this will result from. It is currently not
easy to turn on from there in the am or pm rush hour times. I do not want more noise in my yard I
already hear fleet farm's lift loaders. I certainly do not want to hear loud partying from balconies of a
high density housing unit. Isn't this a wetland and it needs to be protected from development? I
don't approve of all the trees being removed from that space there are lots of wild life in that area.
I will be going to the meeting too. What is the next steps how else can i make my concerns heard or
is this a lost cause because the City of Lakeville only cares about the mighty dollar.
Very concerned and unahappy citizen of Lakeville.

Shawn,
The public hearing notice that was mailed to you is for the 2040 Comprehensive Plan
(http://www.lakevillemn.gov/762/2040-Comprehensive-Plan). This is a plan that looks at
development over the next 20 years in the City of Lakeville. Open house meetings were held in
2017 and 2018 to solicit input and comment from the public and the draft plan was distributed for
official comment in July, 2018.
After the draft plan was distributed, a representative of Mills Properties Inc. (the property owner)
requested that the land use designation of three parcels north of 173rd Street and immediately
south of the Fleet Farm site be changed from Commercial to Corridor Mixed Use. The Commercial
designation anticipates general retail, service, or office businesses with community or regional
market areas. The Corridor Mixed Use (CMU) anticipates those same commercial uses as well as
high density housing.
Because the request for the change in land use designation occurred after the public open house
meetings, the Planning Commission and City Council directed staff to provide public notice to all
property owners within 500 feet of the requested area of change. Your options to provide
comment on the requested change from Commercial to Corridor Mixed Use are to 1) attend the
public hearing on February 21 and provide comment during the public comment portion of the
meeting and/or 2) send a letter or email with your comments, which will be shared with the
Planning Commission. The letter/email may be sent to my attention and my contact information is
below.
At this time, no planning-related development applications for the site have been submitted. If
you have additional questions, please let me know.

Subject: Joy Court ‑ Lakeville ‑ Meeting
Good morning Mr. Morey,
We recently received a letter from the city indicating a proposal to change the zoning regarding an
8‑acre parcel of land behind Fleet Farm (currently zoned commercial to a new proposed zoning of
Corridor mixed use). We appreciate the information.
Myself and two neighbors (copied above) are most directly impacted by this proposal as our homes
back‑up directly to this parcel of property and naturally have a lot of questions. Not really knowing
where to start with regards to information gathering, I reached out to Matt Little and he suggested
we email you to get a better understanding of what the project may look like. We fully understand
information may be limited.
We were wondering about the possibility of a private meeting to simply have an informal
conversation. Again, we know it’s very early on in the process but we would love to take a proactive
approach by partnering with city to ensure the inevitable development of this land results in the best
possible outcome for both the city and our neighborhood.
We would welcome an opportunity to meet with you and appreciate any consideration you may
have.
Thanks in advance and look forward to hearing from you.
Sincerely,
Mark Hrubes, Brian Bross and Allie Krueger (Joy Court Neighborhood).
