Finance Director Erickson introduced Principal Chris Knopik and Manager Lucas Chase at
CliftonLarsonAllen LLP, who presented the City of Lakeville Comprehensive Annual
Financial Report for the year ended December 31, 2020.
They reported that the City received an unmodified clean audit opinion. No material
weaknesses or significant deficiencies were noted. The City was required to receive a single
audit due to incurring more than $750,000 in Federal expenditures and received an
unmodified opinion on compliance. The enterprise funds are providing cash flows from
operations; and the liquor fund continues to transfer funds to capital projects, debt service
and general fund operations.

Utility Fund. Ms. Erickson provided a brief explanation of operating revenue, operating
expenses and depreciation. Mayor Anderson asked Ms. Erickson to provide additional

9. Authentix Lakeville
Erik Thom of Continental Properties requested Council approval of Authentix Lakeville,
which proposes 288 stacked flat townhouse units within 12 buildings on a 19.55 -acre lot
located north of 210th Street and west of Keokuk Avenue adjacent to the I-35 corridor. He
presented information regarding the demand for multi -family housing in Lakeville and the
current retail market conditions. The proposed housing would provide both market and
employment support for businesses in the area.
Jonathan Adams of Silverstone Realty & Development talked about the challenges with
marketing the Lakeville Commerce Center property. This site has been particularly
challenging given the existing wetlands and access points. Due to the current retail market
conditions, he indicated there is little potential for additional commercial development on
this site.
Dan Licht of The Planning Company presented the planning report for Authentix
Lakeville. He stated the site was guided in 2008 for high density residential use and was
changed to commercial use in 2018. In addition to the preliminary plat, Continental
Properties is requesting approval of a Comprehensive Plan amendment to re -guide the

property from Commercial to Corridor Mixed Use, a zoning ordinance amendment to allow
townhouses as a conditional use in the M-1 District and to allow a reduction in the minimum
floor area of multiple family dwellings, meeting Metropolitan Council affordable housing
criteria. The Economic Development Commission identified commercial properties for
possible multiple family development to address housing and economic development
goals. This proposed development meets 20% of City's 2021-2030 attainable housing goal.
Council members discussed whether it is appropriate to rezone this property from
commercial to high density residential. They also discussed the quality of exterior building
materials proposed for this project. Mr. Thom stated he would work with city staff to identify
alternative options for exterior building elevations on the units facing I-35.
Motion was made by Bermel, seconded by Volk, to continue consideration of Authentix
Lakeville to the June 21, 2021 City council meeting to allow additional time for city staff and
the developer to work on site plan details.
Roll call was taken on the motion. Ayes - Anderson, Bermel, Lee, Volk
Nay - Hellier
10. 2021 Zoning Ordinance Update
Mr. Licht presented the proposed 2021 zoning ordinance update amending Titles 2, 6 and 11
of the Lakeville City Code. The proposed ordinance is Phase 1 of the 2021 annual review and
update of the Zoning Ordinance, and it includes amendments pertaining to Freeway Corridor
District electronic changeable copy signs, industrial district wall signs, keeping of goats,
airport and CBD zoning, motor fuel facility banded canopy lighting, and clarifications to
other Zoning Ordinance and City Code provisions.
Rick Bowman, owner of the former HiHi Market, expressed concerns regarding the proposed
restrictions on banded canopy lighting and signage on motor fuel facilities.
Council members agreed to remove sections of the proposed ordinance regulating canopy
lighting on motor fuel facilities and refer that topic back to the Planning Commission for
further discussion.
Motion was made by Hellier, seconded by Volk, to adopt Ordinance No. 1047 amending the
Lakeville City Code and summary ordinance for publication, except Sections 22 through 25,
and refer Sections 22 through 25 back to the Planning Commission for further discussion.

community perspectives regarding a potential park bond referendum. The survey would be
completed in July, with results presented to the City Council at its July 26 work session. Mr.
