7. Ordinance Amending Sections 11-23 and 11-37 of the Zoning Ordinance
Consulting Planner Dan Licht presented amendments to Sections 11-23 and 11-37 of the
zoning ordinance pertaining to freeway corridor signs and motor fuel facility canopies. The
ordinance would allow abutting commercial lots to share freestanding sign structures in the
freeway corridor district abutting I-35. This amendment pertains specifically to the Keokuk
Liquor Store site but could apply to other sites within the Freeway Corridor District.

With respect to motor fuel facilities, he explained that the proposed ordinance has been
modified to allow contrasting colors and/or LED lighting up to 75% of the canopy elevations
not facing abutting residential properties.
Rick Bohnen expressed a desire to have more than one sign and contrasting colors on the
support structures at his proposed Amoco station at the former HiHi Market.
Mr. Licht explained that the Planning Commission did not address the number of signs
allowed for motor fuel facilities. The current ordinance allows only one sign for each street
frontage, either on the canopy or on the building, and that provision in the ordinance is not
proposed to change with this amendment.
Council members discussed the current sign ordinance provisions for motor fuel facilities and
felt they might be too restrictive. Mr. Licht and Mr. Morey stated that staff could ask the
Planning Commission to review the current sign provisions for motor fuel facilities with the
second half of the zoning ordinance update later this summer. Council members directed
staff to include this section for further review.
Motion was made by Bermel, seconded by Hellier, to approve Ordinance No. 1049 amending
Sections 11-23 and 11-37 of the Lakeville Zoning Ordinance and a summary ordinance for
publication.
Roll call was taken on the motion. Ayes - Anderson, Bermel, Hellier, Lee, Volk
8. Resolution Determining the Necessity of Issuing General Obligation Bonds and Calling a
Special Election Thereon
John Hennen presented a resolution determining the necessity of issuing general obligation
bonds and calling a special park bond referendum election on November 2, 2021. Council
members discussed the language for the ballot question, which is proposed to read, "Shall the
City of Lakeville be authorized to issue its general obligation bonds in the amount not to
exceed $38,000,000 to develop recreational trails, construct new community park facilities,
improve existing parks and athletic courts, construct an outdoor ice sheet at Hasse Arena, and
make improvements to arts and environmental learning centers?"
Jim Storms, 17125 Franchise Way, stated he feels the word "outdoor" should be added before
"environmental learning centers".
Volk read a citizen comment that she received prior to the council meeting. This person
raised concerns that the referendum does not account for recurring maintenance costs after
the new park facilities are constructed.

Mr. Hennen stated staff is aware of the additional costs needed to pay for equipment and
personnel and will budget accordingly if the referendum is approved. Information regarding
potential operating costs will be included in the City's marketing and communication
materials for the park bond referendum.
In response to Mr. Storm's comments, Mayor Anderson stated he feels adding the word
outdoor would create some confusion, as the environmental learning center at Ritter Farm
Park is a building.
Motion was made by Hellier, seconded by Lee, to approve Resolution No. 21-102 determining
the necessity of issuing general obligation bonds and calling a special election thereon.
Roll call was taken on the motion. Ayes - Anderson, Bermel, Hellier, Lee, Volk
