preliminary plat, consisting of 89 single-family lots on 82 acres of property located east of

Planning Director Daryl Morey presented the planning report for The Preserve. In
conjunction with the preliminary plat, the developer is requesting a rezoning of the
property from RS -2 to RS -3 and a lot width variance on three buffer yard lots adjacent to
190th Street. The rezoning to RS -3 is compatible with the existing residential
neighborhoods. The variance request is due to the significant challenges with the existing
topography and wetlands. The preliminary plat includes five outlots, large areas of
wetlands, and greenway corridor trail connections. All five outlots (37 acres total) will be
deeded to the City with the various phases of the final plats. The extension of 190th Street
is consistent with the City's transportation plan.
Mr. Morey addressed some of the concerns raised by the area residents at the public
hearing, most of which related to street connections, lot sizes and soil contamination. He
also addressed a request from a property owner regarding project phasing, specifically
related to the extension of Ixonia Avenue and connection of his property to city sewer and
water.
Motion was made by Hellier, seconded by Wheeler, to approve the following:
• Resolution No. 20-57 approving the preliminary plat of The Preserve
• Findings of fact and Ordinance No. 1030 rezoning property from RS -2 to RS -3
• Findings of fact and variance for buffer yard lot width requirements
Roll call was taken on the motion. Ayes - Wheeler, Anderson, Hellier, Lee, Volk
8. Ordinance Amendment - City Code Titles 4, 10 and 11
Consulting Planner Daniel Licht presented an ordinance amending Titles 4,10 and 11 of
the City Code, which fully implements the approved 2040 Lakeville Comprehensive Plan.
He explained the most significant changes being proposed, which relate to the creation of
three new zoning districts (RM -3, M-1 and M-2) corresponding to the Corridor Mixed Use
land designation in the 2040 Land Use Plan. Other sections of the ordinance being
updated relate to revised standards for residential development, expanded provisions for
solar, electric vehicles and community gardens, increased sign allowances for industrial
businesses, changes implementing the Downtown Development Guide and update of the
City's zoning map.
Steve Devney, 5810 212th Street W., asked the council to consider reducing the minimum
garage size requirements for property on the south side of 179th Street, east of Cedar
Avenue, given its proximity to the park-and-ride facility.
Mr. Licht stated the property is being zoned RM -2, which is consistent with the zoning on
the north side of 179th Street. There would be potential to rezone this parcel from RM -2 to
RM -3 when it develops in the future, which would provide additional flexibility in terms of
garage size.
