PLANNING ANALYSIS
COMPREHENSIVE PLAN AMENDMENT
The Comprehensive Plan’s 2040 MUSA Staging Plan shows the proposed Redstone plat
area as part of Expansion Area “B”, which is for areas to be brought into the MUSA from
2029 – 2038.
In 2020, the City determined that the Redstone plat area could be served with sanitary
sewer. The east portion of the parcel (14 lots) will be temporarily served by the North
Creek sanitary sewer district until such time that the Farmington Outlet sanitary sewer
line is extended to serve those 14 lots. Please see the January 13, 2021 engineering
memo for additional information. As a part of the Metropolitan Council’s
Comprehensive Plan Amendment process, notification of the proposed comprehensive
plan amendment was sent on November 17, 2021 to adjacent and affected
jurisdictions. At this time, eight of the 10 adjacent/affected jurisdictions have indicated
that they have no comment about the MUSA amendment.
An amendment to the Comprehensive Plan for the above-referenced action is required
and will be submitted to the Metropolitan Council for their approval following an
action by the City Council to approve the amendment.
The proposed Redstone development is consistent with the policies of the
Comprehensive Plan to provide a variety of housing types and housing options that
are responsive to market needs.
Findings of Fact for the Comprehensive Plan amendment is attached.
PRELIMINARY PLAT
Existing Conditions. The property is currently vacant and was previously farmed.
Consistency with the Comprehensive Plan. The Redstone property is located in
Planning District 5 of the 2040 Comprehensive Plan, which guides the subject
property for low density residential development.
Adjacent Land Uses. Adjacent land uses and zoning are as follows:
North – 185th Street half ROW, Vacant land, preliminary platted as detached
townhome lots (PUD)
East – Single Family Homes (PUD)
South – Former homestead, outbuilding (RS-4)
West – Highview Avenue, Undeveloped land (RS-4)
Consistency with the Capital Improvement Plan (CIP). City streets, sanitary sewer
and water improvements for the area of Redstone will be financed and constructed by
the developer. The development costs associated with the Redstone development are
not programmed in the 2021 – 2025 CIP.
Premature Subdivision Criteria. A preliminary plat may be deemed premature if any
of the criteria listed in Chapter 10-2-4-1 of the Subdivision Ordinance exist. Eligible
criteria pertain to a lack of adequate: drainage, water, streets, sanitary sewer, and
public service capacity (police and fire protection). The other pertinent criteria pertain
3
to inconsistencies with the City Comprehensive Land Use and Capital Improvement
Plans (discussed above). Staff review of the Redstone preliminary plat against these
criteria finds that it is not a premature subdivision provided the comprehensive plan
(MUSA) amendment is approved.
Phasing. The Developer is planning to develop this plat in a single phase. Following
City Council approval of the preliminary plat and Met Council approval of the
comprehensive plan amendment, Winkler Land Company plans to submit a final plat
for the entire development.
Density/Average Lot Size. The Redstone preliminary plat consists of 47 single family
lots on 19.6 acres. This results in a gross density of 2.4 units per acre. Excluding arterial
road right-of-way and outlots, the net density is 3.19 units per acre. Lot sizes range
from 8,722 square feet to 23,418 square feet in area.
Lots/Blocks. The Redstone preliminary plat consists of 47 lots on three blocks. The lots
are subject to the lot area and width requirements of the RS-4 District.
The lot area, width and depth requirements for the RS-4 district lots in the Redstone
preliminary plat are as follows:
Lot Area
(Interior)
Lot Area
(Corner)
Lot
Width
(Interior)

(Buffer)
RS-4 8,400 s.f. 10,200 s.f. 70 feet 85 feet 95 feet 150 feet
All 47 lots in the preliminary plat meet the RS-4 district lot area, width, and depth
requirements. In addition, a maximum building coverage of 40% is allowed for the RS-
4 District lots.
Setbacks. The house setback requirements for the RS-4 district lots in the Redstone
preliminary plat are as follows:
Front Side
(Interior)
Side
(Corner)
Side
(Buffer)
Rear Rear
(Buffer)
RS-4 20 feet (house)
25 feet (garage)
7 feet 20 feet 30 feet 30 feet 50 feet
The proposed house pads shown on the Redstone grading and drainage plan indicate
that all 47 lots in the preliminary plat meet the RS-4 district building setback
requirements.
Residential Buffer Yard Requirements. Twelve (12) lots abutting Highview Avenue
and future 185th Street (CSAH 60) require increased buffer yard lot depth, lot width,
and setbacks in the Redstone preliminary plat. Highview Avenue is classified as a
major collector and future 185th Street is classified as a minor arterial in the
Comprehensive Transportation Plan. The buffer yard screening along the roadway
must provide an effective minimal visual screen of 10 feet in height. The landscape
plans include a mix of overstory and evergreen trees generally placed in a double row
4
pattern to provide an effective screen. The landscape plan also includes the
installation of plantings along the stormwater management ponds in Outlots A and B.
The number of trees proposed and their locations are acceptable.
Two modifications are required to the landscaping plan. The minimum planting size
for the evergreen trees must be eight feet, not six feet as shown on the plans. The
other modification is that at least two additional species of evergreens must be added
to the proposed Black Hills Spruce. The revised landscape plan must be submitted
prior to City Council consideration of the preliminary plat.
Outlots. There are two outlots totaling 1.95 acres in the Redstone preliminary plat.
The use of the proposed outlots will be as follows:
Outlot A – 1.33 acre outlot consisting of a stormwater management basin that will
be deeded to the City with the final plat.
Outlot B – 0.62 acre outlot consisting of a stormwater management basin that will
be deeded to the City with the final plat.
Streets. The following is a summary of streets proposed with the Redstone
preliminary plat. Additional detailed information is outlined in the Engineering
Division memorandum dated January13, 2021.
185th Street (CSAH 50) – 185th Street will be located along the north boundary of the
development and is classified as a minor arterial in the Comprehensive Transportation
Plan. 185th Street requires a total of 150 feet of right-of-way. This plat will dedicate 75
feet of south half right of way for 185th Street. Lots 4, 5, 13, 14, 27, and 28 are
prohibited from having driveway access to 185th Street.
Highview Avenue – Highview Avenue is located at the west boundary of the property
and is classified as a major collector in the Comprehensive Transportation Plan.
Highview Avenue requires 100 feet of right of way and the plat will dedicate 50 feet of
east half right of way. Driveway access to Highview Avenue from Lots 28 to 34 is
prohibited.
186th Street – 186th Street will be extended west from the Avonlea 5th Addition. 186th
Street will be a 32-foot-wide street within a 60-foot-wide right of way and will include
a concrete sidewalk on one side of the street.
Hexham Lane – Hexham Lane will be a local residential street that will provide access
to the development from 185th Street. Hexham Lane will be a 32-foot-wide street
within a 60-foot-wide right of way and will include a concrete sidewalk on one side of
the street.
Hidden Way – Hidden Way will be a local residential street with a permanent cul de sac
on the north end of the street. Hidden Way will be a 32-foot-wide street within a 60-
foot-wide right of way and will include a concrete sidewalk on one side of the street
south of 186th Street. The street will end at the south plat boundary to allow for future
extension to the south. A “Future Street Extension” sign and barricade must be placed
at the end of the street until it is extended.
Haven Court – Haven Court is a residential street constructed with a 60 foot right-of-
way, a 32 foot wide street and 45 foot radius cul-de-sac.
5
Prior to City Council approval of the preliminary plat, the street widths on the plan set
must be revised to show all streets to have a minimum width of 32 feet. With this
change, all streets will meet the minimum width and design requirements of the
Subdivision Ordinance.
Sidewalks/Trails. The developer will construct five (5) foot wide concrete sidewalks
along one side of most streets, except Haven Court and the Hidden Way cul de sac. A
10 foot wide bituminous trail will be constructed along both sides of 185th Street.
Grading, Drainage, Erosion Control, and Utilities. Proposed grading, drainage,
erosion control, and utilities for the Redstone preliminary plat is shown on the grading,
drainage and erosion control, and utility plans. All existing and new local utilities shall
be placed underground.
Grading, drainage, erosion control, and utilities details are outlined in the January 13,
2021 engineering report prepared by Logan Vlasaty, Civil Engineer and Mac Cafferty,
Environmental Resources Manager. The Engineering Division recommends approval of
the preliminary plat.
Tree Preservation. There are no significant trees within the plat boundary.
Wetlands. A wetland delineation must be completed and approved prior to final plat
consideration by the City Council.
Park Dedication. The City’s 2006 Comprehensive Parks, Trails, and Open Space Plan
does not identify a need for park land within the Redstone preliminary plat area. Staff
is recommending a cash contribution to satisfy the park dedication requirements for
the Redstone plat. The park dedication fee will be based on the rate in effect at the
time of final plat approval. The Parks, Recreation and Natural Resources Committee
will review the preliminary plat at their January 20, 2021 meeting. Their comments will
be forwarded to the Planning Commission at the public hearing.
MUSA. Provided that the Comprehensive Plan Amendment is approved by the City
Council and the Metropolitan Council, the Redstone preliminary plat area will be
located within the current MUSA.
Signs. At this time, there are no subdivision monument signs proposed for the
development.
Dakota County Plat Commission. The Dakota County Plat Commission will review
the preliminary plat at their January 20, 2021 meeting.

REDSTONE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN AMENDMENT
FINDINGS OF FACT AND RECOMMENDATION
On January 21, 2021, the Lakeville Planning Commission met at its regularly scheduled meeting
to consider an application to amend the 2040 MUSA Staging Plan of the Comprehensive Plan to
bring land into the current MUSA, located south of 185th Street (future CSAH 60) and east of
Highview Avenue in conjunction with the Redstone preliminary plat. The Planning Commission
conducted a public hearing on the proposed amendments preceded by published and mailed
notice. The applicant was present and the Planning Commission heard testimony from all
interested persons wishing to speak.
FINDINGS OF FACT
1. Per the 2040 Comprehensive Plan, the subject property is located in Planning District 5, which
guides the Redstone property for Low Density Residential.
2. The subject site is zoned RS-4, Single Family Residential District.
3. Legal description of the property is as follows:
The North One-Half (N ½) of the Northwest Quarter of the Southwest Quarter (NW ¼ of
SW ¼) of Section Sixteen (16), Township One Hundred Fourteen (114), Range Twenty
(20), excepting therefrom the West Thirty-three (33) feet thereof in Dakota County,
Minnesota.
4. The applicant is requesting an amendment to the 2040 Land Use Plan to bring 19.6 acres into
the Municipal Urban Service Area (MUSA).
5. The 2040 Lakeville Comprehensive Land Use Plan and Chapter 3 of the City of Lakeville
Zoning Ordinance establish criteria by which the Planning Commission is to consider the
applications. The criteria and our findings regarding them are:
a. The proposed action has been considered in relation to the specific policies and
provisions of and has been found to be consistent with the official City Comprehensive
Plan.
Finding: The site was originally intended to be served by trunk sewer lines from two districts.
A review of the sanitary sewer system has determined that the east 14 lots of the Redstone
2
plat can be served from the North Creek district until such time that the Farmington district
line is extended to the plat boundary. The proposed single family housing style is consistent
with the following policies established by the 2040 Lakeville Comprehensive Plan:
• Existing, undeveloped, single family residential land shall be developed in a manner
consistent with Lakeville’s priorities, compatible with surrounding development and
responsive to determined market needs.
b. The proposed use is or will be compatible with present and future land uses of the area.
Finding: The subject site is surrounded by the following existing and planned land uses shown
in the table below. The proposed land use will be compatible with existing and planned land
uses surrounding the subject site.

c. The proposed use conforms to all performance standards contained in the Zoning
Ordinance and the City Code.
Finding: The proposed development will comply with applicable provisions of the Zoning
Ordinance, Subdivision Ordinance and City Code, subject to the conditions outlined in the
January 13, 2021 Planning Report prepared by Associate Planner Kris Jenson.
d. The proposed use can be accommodated with existing public services and will not
overburden the City’s service capacity.
Finding: Thirty-three of the proposed lots were to be served by the North Creek sanitary sewer
district trunk line, while the remaining 14 lots are within the Farmington Outlet sanitary
sewer district. These 14 lots can be served by the North Creek district until such time that the
Farmington Outlet trunk line is extended; therefore the entire 19.6 acres of the subject
property can be added to the current MUSA.
e. Traffic generated by the proposed use is within capabilities of streets serving the
property.
Finding: The subject site has access to 185th Street (future CSAH 60). The City of Lakeville
and Dakota County are currently working on engineering design plans for the intersection of
3
185th Street and Highview Avenue, with construction of 185th Street planned to begin in the
Spring of 2021. The Redstone plat will dedicate the remaining right of way required for the
185th Street connection between Highview Avenue and Cedar Avenue.
6. The report dated January 13, 2021 prepared by Kris Jenson, Associate Planner is incorporated
herein.
RECOMMENDATION
The Planning Commission recommends that the City Council approve the Comprehensive Plan
Amendment conditioned upon compliance with the January 13, 2021 Planning Report prepared
by Associate Planner Kris Jenson.

220160051010) zoned RS-4 Single Family Residential District.
The preliminary plat consists of forty-seven (47) single family lots within three (3) blocks, and
two (2) outlots on 19.62 acres.
The outlots created with the preliminary plat shall have the following use:
Outlot A: Stormwater management basin; to be deeded to the City (1.33 acres)
Outlot B: Stormwater management basin; to be deeded to the City (0.62 acres)

The Redstone site consists of undeveloped agricultural land with tree lines along the west
and north boundaries. The site is located within the Farmington Stormwater District with the
western half of the site draining to the north and the eastern half draining to the south. The
site is bordered to the east by the Avonlea 5th Addition residential development, which has
been final platted and is under construction. The Pinnacle Reserve at Avonlea 4th Addition
development is located north of and adjacent to Redstone and will include the construction
of the extension of 185th Street which will separate the two developments.

Highview Avenue
Redstone is located east of and adjacent to Highview Avenue, a major collector roadway as
identified in the City’s Transportation Plan. Highview Avenue is currently constructed as a
two-lane undivided rural roadway adjacent to the plat. The preliminary plat includes a
proposed access from the future 185th Street which will intersect Highview Avenue. The
Developer is dedicating the necessary 50-foot ½ right-of-way along Highview Avenue.
The ultimate intersection improvements for 185th Street and Highview Avenue will be
determined when a detailed engineering analysis has been completed for the intersection.
The ultimate intersection improvements may impact the grading and drainage easements
along the west lots abutting Highview Ave. Modifications to the grading plan and easement
areas may be required with the final plat as the preliminary design is completed.
185th Street (Future CSAH 60)
Redstone is located south of and adjacent to 185th Street, a future minor arterial County
roadway, as identified in the City’s Transportation Plan. The current Dakota County Plat
Review Needs Map indicates a half right-of-way requirement of 75-feet and designates this
roadway as a future four-lane divided urban roadway over its entire length adjacent to the
plat.
185th Street will be initially constructed as a two-lane divided urban roadway with a 10-foot
wide bituminous trail along the north and south sides of the road consistent with Dakota
County’s standards, access locations and spacing requirements. 185th Street will provide a full
access for the development at Hamel Drive east of the parent parcel. The alignment and
design for 185th Street will be reviewed and approved by the Dakota County Transportation
