MEMORANDUM
TO: Daryl Morey
FROM: D. Daniel Licht, AICP
DATE: 13 May 2021
RE: Lakeville – Authentix Lakeville; Preliminary Plat
TPC FILE: 135.01
BACKGROUND
Continental Properties has submitted applications for development of Outlot F, Morgan Square
located north of 210th Street (CSAH 70) and west of Keokuk Avenue. The subject site is 19.55
acres in area. The developer is proposing 288 stacked-flat townhouse dwelling units within 12
buildings, a clubhouse/management building, and a maintenance building. The Planning
Commission and City Council previously reviewed the proposed development as a sketch plan
application to provide comment on the proposed land use.
The proposed development first requires consideration of applications for a Comprehensive
Plan amendment to guide the property for Corridor Mixed Use and a Zoning Map amendment
to rezone the subject site to M-1, Mixed Use I-35 Corridor District. The developer is also
requesting an amendment to modify the text of the Zoning Ordinance to allow townhouse
dwellings as a conditional use within the M-1 District and to allow a reduction in minimum floor
area for multiple family dwellings meeting Metropolitan Council affordable housing criteria as a
conditional use.
The developer is requesting approval of a preliminary plat and a c onditional use permit (for M-1
District townhouses, reduction in required floor area, and multiple principal buildings) upon
approval of the proposed Comprehensive Plan and Zoning Ordinance (text and map)
amendments. A public hearing to consider the applications has been noticed for the Planning
Commission meeting on 20 May 2021.

ANALYSIS
Comprehensive Plan. The subject site is guided by the 2040 Comprehensive Plan for
commercial uses. A small area at the northwest corner of the subject site that was anticipated
to be bisected by 207th Street is guided for high density residential uses. The proposed
residential development of the subject site with a density of 18.2 dwelling units per acre
requires consideration of a Comprehensive Plan amendment.
The 2040 Land Use Plan establishes the Corridor Mixed Use (CMU) designation to allow for
development of high density residential dwellings with a base density allowance of 26 to 45
dwelling units per acre and commercial retail, service, and office uses in standalone or mixed-
use buildings. Areas within the I-35 corridor have been guided for CMU uses to provide
housing opportunities adjacent to planned nodes of commercial development that are also in
proximity to existing or future transit facilities. The subject site is at the west edge of the
commercial land uses planned surrounding the I-35/CSAH 70 interchange. Introduction of
housing in this location, particularly attainable housing, would provide both market and
employment support for businesses in the area, as well as industrial uses farther to the east
along CSAH 70. The subject site is also within ¼ mile of the existing City Park and Pool facility
located on the east side of I-35, north of CSAH 70.
The Economic Development Commission, Planning Commission, and City Council recently
reviewed possible amendments of the 2040 Comprehensive Plan to designate the subject site
for mixed use to allow for the proposed development. The Economic Development
Commission and Planning Commission were strongly supportive of the request for the purposes
of economic development, attainable employment housing, and a desirable land use transition.
3
The City Council was generally supportive of the request with some members indicating that
they believe the area remains viable for future commercial use.
Zoning Ordinance. The subject site is zoned C-3, General Commercial District based on the
current guidance of the subject site for commercial uses on the 2040 Land Use Plan.
Corresponding to the proposed amendment of the 2040 Land Use Plan discussed above, the
Zoning Map is proposed to be amended by rezoning the subject site to M-1, Mixed Use I-35
Corridor District, which is to provide for development of commercial areas with opportunity for
incorporating multiple family dwellings within areas guided by the Comprehensive Plan for
Corridor Mixed Uses adjacent to the I-35 corridor.
The proposed dwelling units are a hybrid of townhouse and apartment style dwellings in that
the dwellings include stacked and side-by-side units each with individual exterior entrances for
first floor units and shared access for second floor units. The Zoning Ordinance was amended
in 2020 to revise the definition of townhouses to include hybrid units such as proposed for this
development, which are referred to as stacked-flats. To allow the proposed development, the
Zoning Ordinance must be amended to include townhouses as a conditional use along with
multiple family dwellings within the M-1 District. Based on the density and character of the
proposed development, the Planning Commission and City Council supported the proposed
amendment of the M-1 District when discussed as part of the previous sketch plan review and
also as part of the 2021 Zoning Ordinance update.
Attainable Housing. The Zoning Ordinance provides exception from the exterior building
material and enclosed off-street parking requirements of the M-1 District for housing meeting
the City's allocation of regional affordable housing as defined by the 2040 Comprehensive Plan.
These exemptions require that the developer provide guarantees satisfactory to the City to
ensure that “for rent" housing will meet the Metropolitan Council criteria for affordable
housing for a minimum of 10 years from the date of initial occupancy. The guarantees that the
developer maintain the affordable rate schedule for 10 years will be established as part of the
Development Agreement drafted by the City Attorney.
Residential Buildings. There are 12 residential buildings shown on the sketch plan, each with
24 dwelling units.
Floor Area. The proposed development includes 288 dwelling units within 12 buildings,
which are summarized below:
Min. Floor
Area
Proposed

3 Bedroom 830sf. 1,277-1,348sf. 32 11%
4
The minimum 650 square feet for some of the one bedroom units is less than the 700
square feet required by Section 11-17-13 of the Zoning Ordinance. City staff supports a
Zoning Ordinance amendment to allow for an exception to the minimum floor area
requirement by conditional use permit for dwelling units meeting regional attainability
criteria. The conditional use permit would include a requirement that the developer
provide guarantees that the dwelling units will continue to be offered at a rate schedule
compliant with regional affordability criteria for a 10 year period consistent with other
exemptions allowed by the Zoning Ordinance to encourage attainable housing
development. The number of efficiency units within the proposed development is less
than the 30 percent limit established by Section 11-17-15 of the Zoning Ordinance.
Exterior Finish. The building architecture includes articulated building sections, large
windows, roof gables, and sectioned roof-lines to minimize building mass and the
horizontal length of the buildings creating an aesthetically pleasing appearance. The
proposed buildings are shown to have a board-and-batten style vinyl siding. Vinyl siding
is an allowed exterior building material listed in Section 11-17-9.B.6 of the Zoning
Ordinance that may be used in accordance with the exception provided by the proposed
Zoning Ordinance amendment from the exterior building requirements of the M-1
District for developments meeting the City’s attainable housing goals.
Building Height. Residential dwellings within the M-1 District are allowed to be up to
four stories in height. The proposed residential buildings are to be two story structures
with pitched roofs. The clubhouse building and maintenance building are both one
story structures. The proposed buildings shown on the preliminary plat plan submittal
comply with the height limits of the M-1 District.
Clubhouse Building. The proposed development includes a clubhouse building with
management office space, an exercise room, sitting areas, and a kitchen. A full floor plan for
the clubhouse must be provided. The architecture for the clubhouse building is distinct from
the residential buildings with various different colored sections having slanted or flat roofs. The
exterior materials use vinyl and cement-fiber panels with a board-and-batten pattern
consistent with that used for the residential buildings. The clubhouse includes an outdoor pool.
Specifications for the fence surrounding the pool must be provided at the time a building
permit is applied for to verify compliance with Section 11-21-5.G of the Zoning Ordinance.
Maintenance Building. The preliminary plat plans include a maintenance building that also
includes an outdoor car wash area, FHA garage stall, and parcel storage room. The
maintenance building uses vinyl horizontal lap siding with colors similar to that of the proposed
residential dwellings.
Lot Area. Lot area requirements are based on the net area of the subject site less street rights-
of-way and wetland, wetland buffer, and stormwater basin outlots. The net area of the subject
site is 13.87 acres or 604,136 square feet. The proposed 288 dwelling units would have 2,097
square feet of lot area per dwelling unit. Townhouses within the M-1 District are proposed to
5
require a minimum of 1,675 square feet of lot area per dwelling unit. The lot area for the
development complies with the proposed standards for townhouses within the M-1 District.
Setbacks. The table below summarizes setback requirements of the M-1 District applicable to
the subject site. The site plan complies with these setback requirements.

ROW Side/Rear
Required 30ft. 30ft. 30ft. 10ft. 10ft. 15ft. 5ft.
Access. The subject site abuts 210th Street (CSAH 70). Right-of-way dedication for 210th Street
(CSAH 70) was reviewed by the Dakota County Plat Commission at its April 28, 2021 meeting
and the preliminary plat was recommended for approval.
The segment of 210th Street (CSAH 70) adjacent to the subject site is planned to be a principal
arterial roadway, which requires spacing of ½-mile full access and ¼ mile for restricted access.
Dakota County will allow the proposed public street access to 210th Street at Keswick Loop for
full turning movements at this time but may require future intersection improvements to
restrict access and turning movements due to safety concerns, operational issues, or when
210th Street is officially designated as a principal arterial roadway. All issues related to
construction of the Keswick Loop access at 210th Street are subject to review and approval of
Dakota County.
Keswick Loop is proposed to be extended north of 210th Street (CSAH 70) to provide access to
the subject site and abutting property to the west. The developer will construct Keswick Loop
within an existing roadway easement located outside the Authentix plat boundary to their
private drive access. Keswick Loop will be extended in the future, if necessary, with the
development of the adjacent properties to the west. The design and specifications for Keswick
Loop north of 210th Street (CSAH 70) is subject to review and approval of the City Engineer.
The submitted plans show extension and realignment of 207th Street, which is designated by
the 2040 Comprehensive Plan as a major collector street, along the north line of the subject site
and includes dedication of right-of-way. Section 10-4-3.A of the Subdivision Ordinance
requires the street to be constructed to the plat line to provide connection to the adjacent
undeveloped property and the developer will escrow funds for the segment of the street not
constructed now for when it is extended west in the future. The site access to 207th Street
includes realignment of the section of Keystone Avenue to the north to provide a four-way
intersection.
A third access to the subject site is proposed over Lot 1, Block 2, Lakeville Commerce Center to
Keokuk Avenue via a shared private driveway. The developer must provide an ingress/egress
easement for the proposed shared access. The City Engineer indicates that this shared access
will require construction of medians on Keokuk Avenue to limit access to right-in/right-out only.
6
Off-Street Parking. The proposed development has 1.6 bedrooms per dwelling unit making
the off-street parking requirement 2.0 stalls per dwelling unit in accordance with Section 11-19-
13 of the Zoning Ordinance. The sketch plan provides for 2.0 parking stalls per dwelling unit as
follows:
Surface stalls 505
Garage stalls 70
Total 575
The surface parking stalls and drive aisles are shown to comply with the minimum dimensions
of Section 11-19-7.I.1 of the Zoning Ordinance. The floor plans for the garage buildings
demonstrate that the proposed enclosed parking stalls comply with the minimum dimensional
requirements of Section 11-19-7.I.3 of the Zoning Ordinance. Concrete curb is required by
Section 11-19-7.I.15 of the Zoning Ordinance at the perimeter of all off street parking stalls and
drive aisles. The construction specifications of the parking areas and drive aisles are subject to
review and approval of the City Engineer.
The setback of the drive aisle east of Building 1 at the southeast corner of the subject site is
setback from the east property line less than the five feet required by Section 11-19-7.I.1 of the
Zoning Ordinance. Based on the shared access between the subject site and Lot 1, Block 2,
Lakeville Commerce Center to Keokuk Avenue, a reduction of the site yard setback to less than
five feet is allowed. The access easement over Lot 1, Block 2, Lakeville Commerce Center must
address maintenance of the private drive at the property line within the subject site.
Sidewalks/Trails. There is an existing trail along the north side of 210th Street (CSAH 70)
abutting the subject site. A concrete sidewalk is to be provided along the south side of 207th
Street from the east plat line to the extent the street is constructed to the west with a
temporary cul-de-sac, which should be eight feet wide consistent with the requirements for
mixed use development. A pedestrian connection from the subject site is made on the east
side of the Keswick Loop segment to the trail on 210th Street (CSAH 70). City staff is
recommending that a sidewalk be added along the south side of the shared private drive across
Lot 1, Block 2, Lakeville Commerce Center to provide pedestrian access to Keokuk Avenue.
Landscaping. The submitted plans include a landscape plan. No residential buffer yard is
required for the subject site in the yards abutting 210th Street (CSAH 70) based on M-1 District
zoning. Notwithstanding the requirements of the Zoning Ordinance, the landscape plan
provides for a single row of deciduous trees within the subject site along the 210th Street (CSAH
70). The landscape plan also provides for deciduous trees along the south side of the east
segment of 207th Street, which are continued to the west lot line. Similar trees are shown to be
provided along Keswick Loop. The landscape plan is subject to review and approval of the City
Forester.
Exterior Lighting. A photometric lighting plan indicating the type, location, height, and
illumination pattern of all proposed exterior lighting has been submitted. All exterior lighting is
7
required to be shielded as required by Section 11-16-17.B.1 of the Zoning Ordinance. The
intensity of the exterior fixtures must be revised to comply with the limits as established by
Section 11-16-17.A.2 of the Zoning Ordinance for review by the Zoning Administrator.
Waste Storage. The sketch plan indicates a structure for trash storage south of Building 10.
The submitted architectural plans include details regarding the waste storage building, which is
an enclosed structure that exceeds the requirements of Section 11-18-11.B of the Zoning
Ordinance.
Utilities. The subject site is included within the current MUSA. The developer has submitted
plans for extension of sewer and water utilities. All utility issues are subject to review and
approval of the City Engineer.
Grading Plan. The developer has prepared plans for grading and drainage. Existing wetlands
within the subject site and required wetland buffers are shown to be platted within outlots to
be deeded to the City. All wetland, grading , drainage, and erosion control issues are subject to
review and approval of the City Engineer.
Easements. Section 10-4-4 of the Subdivision Ordinance requires 10-foot wide drainage and
utility easements at the perimeter of the proposed lot are shown on the preliminary plat.
Drainage and utility easements are also to be required to overlay internal utility pipes and/or
stormwater drainage facilities. All drainage and utility easements are subject to review and
approval of the City Engineer.
Outlots. The proposed preliminary and final plat includes three outlots. Outlots A, B, and C
encompass wetlands and required wetland buffers. The outlots are to be deeded to the City.
Park Dedication. The 2015 Parks, Trails, and Open Space Plan does not identify dedication of
land to the City for public parks from the area of the subject site. Park dedication requirements
are to be satisfied by payment of a cash fee in lieu of land at the time of final plat approval as
provided for by Section 10-4-8.J of the Subdivision Ordinance.
Development Agreement. Section 10-5-1.A of the Subdivision Ordinance requires the
developer to provide construction and warranty securities for the public improvements within
the final plat that are to be outlined within a development agreement. The development
agreement will be drafted by the City Attorney and is to be executed by the applicant prior to
City Council consideration of the final plat.

210th Street (CSAH 70)
Authentix Lakeville is located north of and adjacent to 210 th Street, a minor arterial County
roadway as identified by the City’s Transportation Plan. Dakota County controls the right-of-
way requirements and access locations along 210th Street. 210th Street is currently constructed
as a four-lane divided urban roadway adjacent to the plat. A ten-foot wide bituminous trail is
located along both sides of 210th Street. The current Dakota County Plat Needs Map identifies
210th Street as a four-lane divided roadway with 75-feet of half right-of-way. The preliminary
plat was reviewed and recommended for approval by the Dakota County Plat Commission at
its April 28, 2021 meeting. The Developer is dedicating the necessary right-of-way as shown
on the preliminary plat.
The segment of 210th Street adjacent to the plat is planned to be a principal arterial roadway
the requires ½-mile full access and ¼ mile for restricted access. The site plan includes
construction of a public street access on 210th Street that aligns with Keswick Loop to the
south. This access location does not meet the future access spacing guidelines for a full access
with ½-mile full access spacing. Dakota County will allow the access location at Keswick Loop
to initially remain as a full access, however the intersection could be restricted in the future
due to safety concerns, operation issues, future projects and development in the area or
when 210th Street is officially designated as a principal arterial roadway.
The Developer is required to coordinate with Dakota County the extent of the improvements
along 210th Street for the proposed access, including construction of a right-turn lane. The
plan for any County road improvements must be approved by Dakota County, and a permit
for the work within the right-of-way must be obtained from the County.

location, the Developer shall construct the necessary improvements to restrict this access to
right-in/right-out only movements. The Developer shall construct a commercial driveway
apron, stop sign, stop bar, and pedestrian access ramps at the driveway access location at
Keokuk Avenue. A security will be required with the final plat for the improvements relating
to the Keokuk Avenue access.
207th Street
Authentix Lakeville is located south of and adjacent to 207th Street, a collector roadway as

Authentix Lakeville includes the construction of twelve (12) multiple family buildings, totaling
288 units. Access to each of the buildings will be provided by private drives circulating the
site. The Developer has prepared turning movement templates demonstrating appropriate
turn moves for residential, delivery and emergency vehicles through the site. Additionally, the
Developer’s Engineer completed a traffic study to determine if any improvements would be
required outside of the plat to support the development. The study concluded that no off-site
improvements would be required due to the development, however the increased traffic
loading on 207th Street may increase the rate of pavement deterioration. 207th Street should
be monitored for future pavement rehabilitation in the City’s Transportation Capital
Improvement Plan update. The City’s traffic engineering consultant reviewed the study and
agreed with the recommendations outlined in the study.
At grade parking areas and garage parking will be provided for the buildings and connecting
to the private drives. Each building will include garage stalls within the building. Privately
owned and maintained sidewalks will be constructed within the site allowing pedestrian
access and connectivity within the site. A clubhouse is proposed with an outdoor pool.
