Conditional use permit to allow an impervious surface area greater than 25% in the Shoreland Overlay District. Jim Connelly from APPRO development presented an overview of the request. Mr. Connelly stated the property has been vacant for some time and they feel they have a development proposal that suits this site well. APPRO has worked with City staff to develop a stormwater design that will work for this site. They are very excited about the project and glad that it can help companies in Lakeville to expand and stay in Lakeville. Associate Planner Frank Dempsey presented the planning report. Mr. Dempsey stated that the parent parcel of the proposed Airlake Development Seventh Addition preliminary and final plat is Outlot A, Arden Kitchens Addition, which was platted in 1997, and will consist of two lots and one outlot. A conditional use permit (CUP) has also been submitted to allow an impervious surface area greater than 25% in the Shoreland Overlay District of the South Creek tributary of the Vermillion River. Currently the property is undeveloped farmland. The South Creek tributary of the Vermillion River runs along the south and west boundary of the plat. The proposed Airlake Development Seventh Addition lots exceed the minimum lot area and lot width requirements for the I-2, General Industrial District. The Airlake Development Seventh Addition preliminary and final plat does not include the construction of any streets and will be accessible from two driveways at Lakeville Boulevard. The easterly driveway will be shared between Lots 1 and 2. There will be a shared driveway access agreement between the two lots for this shared access driveway.

Spirit of Brandtjen Farm 21 Addition Chair Kaluza opened the public hearing to consider the application of SBF Development Corp. for a preliminary plat and PUD development stage plans of 99 detached townhome lots, 43 attached townhome lots, 12 common open space lots, st and nine outlots to be known as Spirit of Brandtjen Farm 21 Addition, located south th of 160 Street (CSAH 46) and east of Eagleview Drive. Pat Wrase, Tradition Development, presented an overview of their project. Todd Stutz, President of Robert Thomas Homes, Rick Osberg, James R. Hill, and Tim Witten, Witten Associates, were also in attendance. Mr. Wrase commented that this is their first entry into the higher density portion of the SBF PUD. They are very concerned that their design be compatible with existing development within the SBF PUD. Mr. Wrase stated that they have a couple new products that will be built with this development phase. Daniel Licht from The Planning Company presented the planning report. Mr. Licht st stated that the SBF 21 Addition will include the development of 99 detached townhouse dwellings, 43 attached row townhouses, 12 common open space lots and nine outlots. The proposed detached townhouses are an appropriate transitional land use between Eagleview Drive and the elementary school to the east consistent with the SBF Land Use Plan. The developer has submitted exterior elevation drawings for the proposed “Revelation” row townhomes and the “Revival” detached townhomes. The developer must identify the proposed exterior materials to be used for both townhome styles, Planning Commission Meeting Minutes, March 21, 2019 Page 5 which must be consistent with the exterior materials used within SBF including brick, stone, cement fiber board or wood fiber board siding. Floor plans must also be submitted for the two types of townhomes to verify compliance with minimum floor area and garage requirements. If the row townhouses do not have a basement and for those detached townhomes not constructed with the optional basement, a storm shelter will be required to meet Zoning Ordinance requirements. Mr. Licht explained that the lot areas and side yard setbacks do not comply with the minimum requirements of the SBF PUD District. However, allowing the proposed number of dwelling units and reduced lot area per dwelling unit, along with reduced side yard setbacks, is appropriate within the flexibilities for the SBF PUD District. The site plan for the detached townhomes shifts the building to one side of the unit lot line, which is a creative and efficient use of the area between the structures for outdoor living areas that would otherwise be unavailable due to the rear garage access of each dwelling. The developer is requesting a 7 foot setback for unenclosed structures such as a deck or pergola, from the adjacent building on the abutting unit lot. Allowance of this is acceptable provided that they are in no way enclosed by side walls, screens, windows, doors, or a roof. Mr. Licht reviewed the proposed streets and guest parking. The preliminary plat provides for Streets A and B as public streets. Parking will be restricted to one side on Streets A and B at the time of final plat approval. Private drives and the use of alleys are provided for in the SBF PUD Booklet and are consistent with the approved standards for this PUD. The guest parking will be highly functional and is acceptable based on the site plan. Mr. Licht explained the sidewalks and trails layout and what the Parks, Trails, and Open Space Plan identifies for this area. A landscape plan has been submitted for the proposed street boulevards, along the alleys and common open spaces. Two recommended revisions to the landscape plan are listed in the March 13, 2019 planning report. Regarding easements, the preliminary plat is to be revised to provide for dedication of drainage and utility easements over all of the base lots and all outlots. Outlots A, B, C, D, E, F, G, H, and I shall be publicly accessible open space deeded to an HOA that provides for long-term maintenance and ownership. st Mr. Licht stated that City staff recommends approval of the SBF 21 Addition PUD Development Stage Plan and preliminary plat, subject to the amended 17 stipulations listed in the March 13, 2019 planning report.
