Planning Director Daryl Morey stated that Agenda Item 6, South Metro Rental CUP

that the application would be tabled at this meeting.
5. Airlake Development Eighth Addition
Chair Kaluza opened the public hearing to consider the application of Jack Matasosky
th
representing County Road 70, LLC for the following, located south of 215 Street
(CSAH 70) and west of Hamburg Avenue: A. Preliminary plat of one lot to be known
as Airlake Development Eighth Addition, and B. Vacation of public drainage and utility
easements.
Jack Matasosky presented an overview of the request. Mr. Matasosky pointed out
that there was a typo of the company that he is representing. It should be County
Road 70 (not 79), LLC.
Associate Planner Frank Dempsey presented the planning report. Mr. Dempsey
stated that the property included in the preliminary and final plat of Airlake
Development Eight Addition is currently combined with the property that includes the
Performance Office Papers building. Development of the site will require approval of
a site plan application and plans prior to issuance of a building permit. A specific
industrial user for the proposed Lot 1, Block 1, Airlake Development Eighth Addition
has not yet been identified.

Mr. Dempsey stated that the west portion of the existing Performance Office Papers
property will be administratively subdivided to split off the vacant portion of that parcel
which will then be preliminary and final platted as Airlake Development Eighth
Addition. The administrative subdivision is necessary to divide the property from the
parent parcel before it is preliminary and final platted. The preliminary and final plat
are required since the parent Acorn Tappe parcel is being subdivided for the third time.
Mr. Dempsey stated that the proposed Lot 1, Block 1, Airlake Development Eighth
Addition exceeds the minimum lot area and lot width requirements for the I-2, General
Industrial District.
Mr. Dempsey indicated that access to Airlake Development Eighth Addition will be
th
from the existing shared driveway at 215 Street, which also serves the two lots to the
west. A shared access easement agreement is required for the future user in Airlake
Development Eighth Addition to access this existing driveway.
The Parks, Recreation and Natural Resources Committee did not review the
preliminary plat since there is no park land or cash fee dedication or grading and
erosion control plan required with this plat.
The Plat Commission determined that the preliminary plat design met the
requirements for access and road right-of-way as noted in their November 2, 2020
letter.
Mr. Dempsey stated that the drainage and utility easements within Acorn Tappe First
Addition portion of the final plat will be vacated and will be re-established with the
Airlake Development Eighth Addition final plat. As shown on the easement vacation
sketch (Exhibit E), Performance Office Papers will re-establish a 15-foot wide drainage
and utility easement along their new west property line that was vacated as part of the
Performance Office Papers variance approved in 2008.
Mr. Dempsey is recommending the following amendment to Stipulation 1 in the
November 13, 2020 planning report:
1. A permanent private driveway access easement between Lot 1, Block 1, Airlake
th
Development Eighth Addition and the existing 215 Street driveway access to the
west shall be established prior to submittal of a site plan for Lot 1.shall be
established in favor of Lot 1, Block 1 prior to release of the final plat documents
for recording with Dakota County.
Planning Department staff recommends approval of the Airlake Development Eighth
Addition preliminary and final plat and easement vacation subject to the three
stipulations listed in the November 13, 2020 planning report, as amended.
Chair Kaluza opened the hearing to the public for comment.
