Agreement with ECSI to upgrade Access Control at Water Treatment Plant
Proposed Action
Staff recommends adoption of the following motion: Move to approve agreement with ECSI to
upgrade the access control system at Water Treatment Plant
Overview
Following our standard budget and lifecycle evaluations, we plan hardware upgrades to meet the
City's security, compatibility, and capability needs. As part of our multi-year plan to replace the
outdated access control system and integrate card access with our camera systems, we are
continuing the transition to Genetec.
This phase will:
• Upgrade our aging backend system to allow for newer, more secure credentials
• Upgrade the card readers at the doors to allow for those credentials
• Add the buildings' 'Main Entrance' to the system to allow for easier and more secure
rental access.
• Add the 'Employee Entrance' and 'Interior Hallway Doors,' which are in the facilities area
to allow more controlled and secure access to that area.
Staff recommends the approval of the full project, totaling $68,659.

Resolution Approving an Application to the Legislative-Citizen Commission on Minnesota
Resources for a 2026 Environmental and Natural Resources Trust Fund Grant
Proposed Action
Staff recommends adoption of the following motion: Move to approve Resolution Authorizing
an Application to the Legislative-Citizen Commission on Minnesota Resources (LCCMR) for a
2026 Environmental and Natural Resources Trust Fund (ENRTF) Grant.
Overview
The LLCMR makes funding recommendations to the legislature for special environmental and
natural resources projects, primarily from the Environment and Natural Resources Trust Fund
(ENRTF). Projects that are awarded funding from the ENRTF help maintain and enhance
Minnesota’s environment and natural resources. The 2026 ENRTF Request for Proposal
included proposals for projects that aim to protect, conserve, preserve and enhance Minnesota’s
air, water, land, fish, wildlife and other natural resources. The application requested funding for
the Lake Marion Greenway Trail: Ritter Farm Park to Dodd Boulevard portion of the project.
This includes new trail construction and reconstruction of existing trails to create a connection
between Ritter Farm Park and Dodd Boulevard.
Staff presented the Lake Marion Greenway project to a board of panelists from the LCCMR in
June. The project was picked as a 2026 award recipient, and if ultimately approved by the
legislature, would receive $1,797,000 in grant funding. As we move forward in the process, a
new resolution approved by the City Council is required.

Contract for Lift Station 4 Rehabilitation
Proposed Action
Staff recommends adoption of the following motion: Move to approve a contract with Quality
Flow Systems, Inc. for the rehabilitation of Lift Station 4.
Overview
The City of Lakeville Utilities Division operates and maintains 23 sanitary sewer lift stations
that are critical to ensuring safe and reliable wastewater service. These stations pump wastewater
from lower elevations to higher elevations.
Each lift station is placed on a 10–15 year rehabilitation schedule, with the exact timing based
on flow conditions and equipment wear. Lift Station 4 was last rehabilitated in 2010 and has
reached the point where key components are showing signs of wear and reduced efficiency.
A recent inspection confirmed the need to replace the pumps, gate valves, and check valves, and
to relocate the pump’s electrical shut-off from the dry pit to the control panel, an upgrade that
will improve both safety and operational accessibility.
The City has standardized on KSB-brand pumps for consistency, performance, and ease of
maintenance. Quality Flow Systems, Inc. is the sole-source dealer for KSB pumps in Minnesota.
Staff obtained a quote from Quality Flow Systems, Inc. in the amount of $54,375, which
includes all labor, materials, and installation required to complete the rehabilitation.

Quote for City Hall Landscaping
Proposed Action
Staff recommends adoption of the following motion: Move to approve the First Amendment to
Contract with Gonzo Bros Landscaping Limited Liability Company for landscaping around City
Hall and monument signs.
Overview
The landscaping at City Hall has become overgrown, and the existing weed barrier fabric has
deteriorated, allowing invasive plants to take hold. This has created an unsightly appearance that
does not reflect the City’s professional image and has increased ongoing maintenance demands
for staff.
To address these issues, staff recommends using the City’s existing landscaping contractor to
complete the removal and replacement work. The work would be performed under the hourly
rates and unit costs outlined in the Building and Facilities Landscape Maintenance 2025
contract, approved by Council on January 21, 2025. This approach will maintain consistency
with current maintenance standards and streamline project coordination.
Scope of Work:
• Removal of overgrown vegetation and debris
• Removal and disposal of the defective weed barrier
• Installation of new, high-quality weed barrier fabric
• Replanting and add rock or mulching as needed to restore aestetics and reduce future
maintenance needs

Ordinance Amending Title 10 and Title 11 of the City Code and Summary Ordinance for
Publication
Proposed Action
Staff recommends adoption of the following motion: Move to approve an ordinance amending
Title 10 and Title 11 of the City Code and a summary ordinance for publication.
Overview
Community Development Department staff recommends approval of an ordinance amending
Title 10 (Subdivisions) and Title 11 (Zoning) of the City Code as presented, which expands is an
update to the City’s tree preservation language. The current language requires an inventory but
does not require any trees to be saved.
The Planning Commission held a public hearing on the proposed ordinance amendment at their
July 17, 2025 meeting. There was one public comment. The Planning Commission discussed the
proposed ordinance but voted to table the amendment, requesting that staff reconsider
requirements for single family home properties. Community Development and Forestry staff
discussed language changes and recommended that single family home properties under one (1)
acre, exclusive of right-of-way and easements, be exempt from the ordinance. Homeowners of
single-family home parcels larger than one (1) acre have the option to prepare the required tree
preservation plan themselves or to use a landscape professional. The Planning Commission
concurred with the language revision and unanimously recommended approval of the ordinance
amendment.

woodlands provide to the community, and the natural beauty of the city.
2. Assurance of orderly development within wooded areas to minimize tree and habitat
loss.
3. Evaluation of the impacts to trees and wooded areas resulting from development.
4. Establishment of minimum standards for tree preservation and the mitigation of
environmental impacts resulting from tree removal.
5. Reflect the developer's best effort to determine the most feasible and practical
layout of buildings, parking lots, driveways, streets, storage, stormwater basins, and
other physical features such that that the minimum number of significant trees are
damaged or removed as a result of development.
B. Scope. The following types of development within the city shall require a tree preservation

Tree Preservation) is hereby repealed in its entirety and amended to read as follows:
11-21-11: TREE PRESERVATION:
A. Purpose. The purpose of this section is to identify trees that are to be saved when
development or land disturbing activity is occurring in wooded areas. It is the city's intent to
protect, preserve, and enhance the natural environment of Lakeville and to encourage a
resourceful and prudent approach to the development of wooded areas. In the interest of
achieving these objectives, the city has established tree preservation regulations to promote
the following:
1. Protection and preservation of the environment, the benefits that trees and
woodlands provide to the community, and the natural beauty of the city.
2. Assurance of orderly development within wooded areas to minimize tree and habitat
loss.
3. Evaluation of the impacts to trees and wooded areas resulting from development.
4. Establishment of minimum standards for tree preservation and the mitigation of
environmental impacts resulting from tree removal.
5. Reflect the developer's best effort to determine the most feasible and practical
layout of buildings, parking lots, driveways, streets, storage, stormwater basins, and
other physical features such that that the minimum number of significant trees are
damaged or removed as a result of development.
B. Scope. The following types of development within the city shall require a tree preservation
plan regardless of zoning district:

the August 4 City Council meeting.
5. City of Lakeville - Tree Preservation Ordinance
Chair Zimmer opened the public hearing to consider amendments to Title 10 (Subdivisions) and
Title 11 (Zoning) of the City Code relating to tree preservation.
Community Development Director, Tina Goodroad presented the Tree Preservation ordinance
outline. Ms. Goodroad stated the proposed ordinance outline has been discussed by City Council,
Planning Commission and the Parks, Recreation, and Natural Resources Committee in previous
work sessions. Ms. Goodroad introduced Zach Jorgensen and Grace Benson from the Forestry
department.
Chair Zimmer opened the hearing to the public for comment.
Bob Erickson, 19081 Inndale Drive, raised issues related to the definition of mixed use and how
recent developments would have been impacted by the proposed ordinance.

Voice vote was taken on the motion.
Ayes – unanimous
Page 86 of 163
Planning Commission Meeting Minutes, July 17, 2025 Page 2
Chair Zimmer asked for comments from the Planning Commission.
Ms. Goodroad noted that mixed use refers to the zoning district mixed use. There are two mixed
use zoning districts, both of which include multi-family residential uses.
• Commissioner Kaluza asked for clarification about what happens if the site is constrained and
doesn’t allow for tree preservation. Ms. Goodroad stated that if a site exceeds the removal
threshold, any required buffering or screening trees then count towards the reforestation
requirement; the fee in lieu would be used if there was no room on the site.
• Commissioner Einck raised issues about the impact of the ordinance on smaller lots,
particularly the inch for inch replacement requirement and the associated costs. Ms.
Goodroad stated that section of the ordinance would require revised language to address the
concerns raised.
• Commissioner Swaney asked how the ordinance affects diseased trees required to be removed;
Mr. Jorgensen noted that diseased trees are exempt.
• Chair Zimmer asked for clarification of what activities are considered to be land disturbing.
Mr. Jorgensen stated that land disturbing is also known as mass grading, an activity common
to large development sites.
• Commissioner Einck asked if there are restrictions on tree removals by homeowners outside
of construction projects. Mr. Jorgensen stated there are not and it is allowed.
• Commissioner Traffas agreed that some residential limitations make sense, but concurred
with other Commissioners’ concerns about impacts to homeowners.
• Commissioner Swenson asked for examples of how this ordinance would apply to recent
developments. Ms. Benson presented reviews of Caslano and The Preserve of Lakeville. She
noted that the proposed ordinance has a lower replacement level than other metro cities.
• Commissioner Traffas asked whether there is still significant woodland in Lakeville to be
preserved. Ms. Benson stated there is significant woodland areas west of Interstate 35.
Ms. Goodroad presented the Commission with two options. The item could be tabled to so that
staff can discuss revisions to address Commission’s concerns regarding the impact on single family
properties or the Commission can recommend approval of the ordinance, with the stipulations
that staff revise the ordinance to address the concerns related to single family properties. After
discussion, the Planning Commission concurred that they would table the ordinance to the August
4 meeting and review proposed revisions at that time.
Motion was made by Kaluza, seconded by Einck to table the proposed ordinance amendments
to Title 10 (Subdivisions) and Title 11 (Zoning) of the City Corde relating to tree preservation.
Ayes: Traffas, Kaluza, Zimmer, Einck, Swaney, Swenson, Tinsley
Nays: 0

6. City of Lakeville - Development and Residential Districts
Chair Zimmer opened the public hearing to consider amendments to Title 10 (Subdivisions) and
Title 11 (Zoning) of the City Code, relating to development and residential districts.
Daniel Licht, The Planning Company, presented the draft of the ordinance. The bulk of the
proposed amendments are intended to address regulations that impact ‘Missing Middle’ housing,
which are units attainable by median or lower income households. Community Development staff
acknowledge that the proposed changes won’t suddenly making housing affordable, but the intent
is to provide flexibility that may expand the range of housing prices available in Lakeville.
The Planning Commission discussed Missing Middle housing issues and potential development
regulation amendments at a work session on December 5, 2024. Based on that discussion, City staff
began drafting language to amend the City’s existing development regulations. This effort was set
aside until after the conclusion of the recent legislative session to ensure that any modifications
wouldn’t conflict with statutory requirements that may have been approved and signed into law
by the Governor. With the legislative session adjourned, the amendments are being brought
forward for consideration.
Mr. Licht reviewed and highlighted a number of the proposed amendments.
Chair Zimmer opened the hearing to the public for comment.
Bob Erickson, 19081 Inndale Drive, raised issues relating to the fiscal sustainability of proposed
amendments, whether the RH density changes will affect Lakeville Schools, and changes to the
antennae definition. He also asked about the amount of RST-2 land still available for development.
Motion was made by Swaney, seconded by Kaluza to close the public hearing at 7:20 p.m.
Voice vote was taken on the motion.
Ayes – unanimous
Mr. Licht responded to the issues raised, indicating that the amount of land guided and zoned for
RST-2 in the entire city on the future land use plan is approximately nine percent (existing and
future) of the city’s area. The density range for areas guided high density is nine to 26 dwelling
units per acre. The minimum of 5,000 square feet per dwelling unit equates about nine units per
acre, while the proposed change to 3,800 square feet per dwelling unit equates to about 11 units
per acre. The 2040 Land Use plan is based on meeting a minimum overall density of three units
per acre while the upcoming 2050 Land Use plan will require an overall density of 3.5 units per
acre for new development. No changes were made to the definition of antennas.
Chair Zimmer asked for comments from the Planning Commission.
• Commissioner Kaluza thinks Lakeville needs to respond to concerns regarding ordinances
without having them dictated by others. He added that it’s appropriate for Lakeville to craft
ordinances specific to Lakeville and he will support the ordinance.
• Chair Zimmer stated she also agrees with Commissioner Kaluza in supporting the specific
Lakeville ordinances.
Page 88 of 163
Planning Commission Meeting Minutes, July 17, 2025 Page 4
• Commissioner Traffas asked for clarification of the reduction of the minimum size of garages
for dwellings that don’t have basements. Mr. Licht stated the proposed amendment would
remove the requirement for a larger garage space for units without a basement. There is space
to park a vehicle in a driveway, and the RM districts also have guest parking requirements
within the townhouse development. There is no change to the garage width requirement.
Motion was made by Swenson, seconded by Tinsley to recommend to City Council approval of
the proposed ordinance amendments to Title 10 (Subdivisions) and Title 11 (Zoning) of the City
Code relating to development and residential districts.
Ayes: Kaluza, Zimmer, Einck, Swaney, Swenson, Tinsley, Traffas
Nays: 0
7. Staff Notices
The next Planning Commission meeting will be on August 7. There being no further business, the
meeting was adjourned at 7:33 p.m.

3. Approval of the Meeting Minutes
The July 17, 2025 Planning Commission meeting minutes were approved as presented.
4. Announcements
Planning Manager Kris Jenson stated there are two handouts including the Parks, Recreation &
Natural Resources Committee Motion regarding the tree preservation ordinance and an email
comment regarding Agenda item 7 for Tradition Development. There will not be a public hearing
for Agenda item 6; the application was withdrawn by the applicant.
5. City of Lakeville - Tree Preservation Ordinance
Community Development Director Tina Goodroad provided an update on the proposed tree
ordinance. Ms. Goodroad stated that at the July 17, 2025 Planning Commission meeting, the draft
tree preservation ordinance was tabled with a request that staff review the impacts of the proposed
ordinance on single-family home properties.
City Forester Zach Jorgensen presented an overview of the ordinance and highlighted the changes.
The primary change is that the requirement of the tree preservation plan does not apply unless a
single-family home property is at least one acre in size, exclusive of right-of-way and easements.
The draft language now also gives single-family homeowners the option to prepare the tree
preservation plan themselves, rather than requiring that a certified or licensed professional prepare
the plan.
Chair Zimmer asked for comments from the Planning Commission.
Page 90 of 163
Planning Commission Meeting Minutes, August 7, 2025 Page 2
• Commissioners Kaluza and Einck expressed their support for the changes staff made to the
ordinance.
• Commissioner Traffas inquired how the one acre was chosen for the minimum lot size for
already developed properties. Mr. Jorgensen stated that the one-acre size would address some
of the concerns regarding preservation of woodlands, and is of a size that more easily
accommodates replanting of trees on site.
Motion was made by Einck, seconded by Swaney to recommend to City Council approval of the
ordinance amendments to Title 10 (Subdivisions) and Title 11 (Zoning) of the City Code relating
to tree preservation.

MEETING MINUTES
July 16, 2025
Committee Chair Weberg called the meeting to order at 6:00 p.m. in the Lake Marion Conference
Room.
Members Present: Holly Weberg, Steve Henneberry, Pat Sauer, Mark Engler, Saima Ali, Shahid
Nadeem, Dan Volkosh
Members Absent: Vicki Schwartz, Renee Brekken
Staff Present: Parks and Recreation Director Joe Masiarchin, Community Development Director
Tina Goodroad, City Forester Zach Jorgenson, Forestry Technician Grace Benson
1. Approval of June 4, 2025 minutes
A motion was made by Henneberry, seconded by Engler to approve June 4, 2025 minutes as
written.
Ayes: unanimous
2. Citizen comments
No citizens were present.
3. Updated Tree Preservation Ordinance
Goodroad provided background on the process of updating the Tree Preservation Ordinance and
the benefits of doing so. The revised ordinance will require a comprehensive tree inventory that
encompasses both landscaping and zoning codes, providing clarity on the developer’s
responsibilities. Once the City Council approves the ordinance, it will take immediate effect.
Committee Discussion
When a tree preservation plan/replacement plan is presented, recommended consistency
between replacement tree species and connectivity to existing woodlands. Consider the
species’ significance, size, tree health and any notable historical significance when
determining preservation/preservation. Staff will include these comments in the materials
that will go to the Planning Commission and City Council.
Why are deciduous trees included explicitly in the tree replacement language? This is due
to canopy replacement rather than just being ornamental. A combination of both is
acceptable.
Where is the native tree list that is mentioned in the ordinance located? This will be
provided as an attachment to the ordinance.
Is there anything very different from what comparable communities are currently
enforcing? The additional allowances for woodland credits are not as common but the
ordinance is similar to many surrounding communities that staff reviewed when writing the
new ordinance.
A motion was made by Henneberry, seconded by Sauer, to approve the updated tree
preservation ordinance as presented by City staff, with the recommendations mentioned above
being taken into consideration.
Ayes: unanimous

Memorandum
To: Planning Commission
From: Tina Goodroad, Community Development Director
Date: July 10, 2025, revised July 31, 2025
Subject: Packet Material for the August 7, 2025 Planning Commission Meeting
Agenda Item: Zoning Text Amendment Related to Tree Preservation
BACKGROUND
At the July 17, 2025 Planning Commission meeting the review of the tree preservation ordinance
was tabled to provide additional review of the types of development the ordinance will apply.
Over the past several months City Forestry and Community Development staff have been
evaluating the Tree Preservation Ordinance (Title 11, Chapter 21, Section 11) to consider
amendments that would result in potential protection of valuable or significant trees. Staff have
shared a summary of objectives, threshold limits and reforestation requirements with the City
Council (two work sessions) and the Planning Commission and Parks, Recreation & Natural
Resources Committee (joint work session). Staff have received support to proceed with an
ordinance.
SUMMARY OF AMENDMENTS
Section 10-3-2 and 10-4-7 of the Subdivision Ordinance is amended to require a tree
preservation plan as required by section 11-21-11 of the Zoning Ordinance. This amendment
moves the requirements of tree preservation and reforestation to the Zoning Ordinance versus
the Subdivision Ordinance.
Section 11-2-3 Definitions: This amendment is specifically related to adding tree preservation
related definitions to the zoning ordinance definition section.
Page 93 of 163
2
Section 11-21-9.B Landscaping: The amendment clarifies landscaping requirements for
residential, commercial and institutional uses that are defined in development contracts and
should also be stipulated in the ordinance.
Section 11-21-21: Fencing/Screening/Landscaping-Tree Preservation: This amendment includes
the entirety of the tree preservation requirements starting with a clear purpose for this section.
Section 11-21-11: item B relates to scope and the types of development that will require a tree
preservation plan. Item 4 of this section has been amended to apply only to lots equal to or larger
than one acre in size not including easements or right of way. We also made the requirements for
preparing the tree preservation plan more flexible. In addition, Section 11-21-11: G; tree
replacement requirements item F has been added to provide replacement requirements for a
rebuild or addition on a lot equal to or larger than one acre. This section requires for each
heritage tree removed to be related at a rate of two replacement trees for every one heritage tree
removed versus a per inch replacement. This will result in a more reasonable replacement
requirement on existing development properties.
Item C specifies incentives which help off-set replacement requirements.
Item E specifies all the requirements for preparing and submitting a tree preservation plan.
Item F includes the allowed tree removal thresholds. Residential is set at 40% (of the total
diameter inches) while mixed use, commercial, industrial and special districts are set at 70%.
Item G includes tree replacement requirements which would apply if tree removal exceeded the
threshold. Replacement requirements are based on tree type with standards for replacement tree
sizes. Again, item F has been added to create more reasonable replacement standards for heritage
tree removal on existing lots one acre or larger.
Items H-J -spells out required protective measures.
Forestry staff will be at the meeting and can address any specific questions.
Action
City staff recommends approval of the proposed amendments as presented.

review and comment. At the time of preparation of the report half the jurisdictions responded with
no comments.
Comprehensive Plan Amendment. The comprehensive plan amendment is in two parts. The first
request is to adjust the staging on three properties from Expansion Area B to current MUSA, as
illustrated in Exhibit B. Sewer will be extended along 215th Street as part of a CIP improvement in
2026 to serve these properties.
The second part of the amendment is to re-guide four parcels from Office Park to Warehouse/Light
Industrial. These parcels are currently split in land use with a combination of Office Park on the
north and Warehouse/Light Industrial on the south. This amendment will provide
Warehouse/Light Industrial across the entire properties.
Zoning Map Amendment. Consistent with the land use designations described above, the same
properties are proposed for rezoning as illustrated in Exhibit D. Properties are proposed for re-
zoning from O-P, Office Park to I-I, Light Industrial
RECOMMENDATION
Community Development Department staff has determined that the requested land use plan
amendment is consistent with the intent and goals of the 2040 Comprehensive Plan and
recommends approval of both the Comprehensive Plan Amendment and the Zoning Map
Amendment.
Findings of fact for approval of the comprehensive plan amendment and zoning map
amendment are included with the packet materials for your consideration.

Tradition Development Comprehensive Plan and Zoning Map Amendments
Proposed Action
Staff recommends adoption of the following motion: Move to approve: 1) a resolution
amending the 2040 Comprehensive Land Use Map and Staging Map and adoption of findings of
fact, and 2) an ordinance amending the Zoning Map and adoption of findings of fact.
Overview
Tradition Development proposes amendments to the Comprehensive Plan and the Zoning Map.
The land use amendment proposes to re-guide parcels to land use designations based on the
concept plan that will provide a range of densities and residential unit types. Properties are
proposed to be re-guided from Commercial to Medium/High Density Residential and from Rural
Density Residential to Low Density Residential, Low/Medium Density Residential, and
Medium/High Density Residential. The proposal also requests to adjust the MUSA staging of 11
properties from Expansion Area B to Current MUSA and 10 properties from Urban Reserve to
Current MUSA. Finally, a Zoning Map amendment from C-3, General Commercial District to
RM-3, Medium Density Residential District and RA, Rural/Agriculture District to RS-4, Single
Family Residential District, RST-2, Single and Two-Family Residential District, and RM-3,
Medium Density Residential District. The requests are proposed to allow future residential
development. Due to the overall size of the proposed project, an AUAR will be required to be
prepared and approved prior to the submittal of any development plans.
The Planning Commission held a public hearing on the Comprehensive Plan, Staging Plan and
Zoning Map amendment applications at its August 7, 2025 meeting. Eight people spoke at the
public hearing and one email comment was received prior to the meeting. Comments primarily
focused on impacts to the school district, traffic on 210th Street (CSAH 70) and other streets in
the area, as well as wetlands and the natural environment. The Planning Commission
unanimously recommended approval of the Comprehensive Plan and Zoning Map amendments.
City Council approval of the requested Comprehensive Plan Amendment requires a four-fifths
approving vote of the City Council.

CITY OF LAKEVILLE
DAKOTA COUNTY, MINNESOTA
TRADITION DEVELOPMENT CORPORATION
ZONING MAP AMENDMENT
FINDINGS OF FACT AND DECISION
On August 7, 2025 the Lakeville Planning Commission met at its regularly scheduled meeting to
consider the application of Tradition Development Corporation for an amendment to the Zoning Map
to rezone properties from C-3, General Commercial District to RM-3, Medium Density Residential
District and from RA, Rural/Agriculture District to RS-4, Single Family Residential District, RST-2,
Single and Two-Family Residential District, and RM-3, Medium Density Residential District. The
Planning Commission conducted a public hearing on the application preceded by published and
mailed notice. The applicant was present and the Planning Commission heard testimony from all
interested persons wishing to speak. The City Council hereby adopts the following:
FINDINGS OF FACT
1. The subject properties are guided for Commercial and Rural Density Residential land uses by the
2040 Comprehensive Land Use Plan. Tradition Development has applied for an amendment to the
2040 Land Use Plan to change guided land use from Commercial to Medium/High Density and
Rural Density Residential to Low Density Residential, Low/Medium Density Residential, and
Medium/High Density Residential.
2. Tradition Development Corporation has applied for an amendment to the Zoning Map to change
the zoning of the properties from C-3, General Commercial District to RM-3, Medium Density
Residential District and from RA, Rural/Agriculture District to RS-4, Single Family Residential
District, RST-2, Single and Two-Family Residential District.
3. The legal description of the properties is attached in Exhibit A.
4. Section 11-3-3.E of the City of Lakeville Zoning Ordinance provides that the Planning Commission
shall consider possible effects of the proposed amendment. Its judgment shall be based upon, but
not limited to, the following factors:
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 proposed rezonings to RS-4, Single Family Residential District, RST-2, Single and
Two-Family Residential District, and RM-3, Medium Density Residential District as illustrated
in Exhibit D of the July 31, 2025 planning prepared by Tina Goodroad, Community
Development Director report and attached as Exhibit B to these Findings of Fact, is consistent
with the goals and policies of the 2040 Comprehensive Plan in accommodating growth while
protecting the environment by integrating new urban development within the City’s natural
resources in a compatible manner.
Page 135 of 163
2
b. The proposed use is or will be compatible with present and future land uses of the area.
Finding: The subject site is located south of 210th Street and will be compatible with the existing
and future land uses in the area.
c. The proposed use conforms to all performance standards contained in the Zoning
Ordinance and the City Code.
Finding: The proposed residential land uses will be required to comply with the requirements
of the Zoning Ordinance, Subdivision Ordinance, and City Code and will be evaluated as part
of necessary applications to develop the property, including availability of sanitary sewer.
d. The proposed use can be accommodated with existing public services and will not
overburden the City’s service capacity.
Finding: Tradition Development has applied for a Comprehensive Plan MUSA Staging
Amendment to bring the property into the current MUSA and will be served by an extension
of sanitary sewer and water services.
e. Traffic generated by the proposed use is within capabilities of streets serving the property.
Finding: The subject site is accessed by 210th Street in addition to internal street network that
will be developed as part of the master plan. A traffic study will be prepared to guide the
development of the street network to ensure the development will have adequate capacity to
accommodate the traffic generated by the proposed use
5. The planning report dated July 31, 2025 prepared by Tina Goodroad, Community Development
Director, is incorporated herein.
DECISION
The City Council hereby approves the Zoning Map amendment as shown in Exhibit B, subject to
Metropolitan Council approval of the Comprehensive Plan Amendment.

• Commissioners Kaluza and Einck expressed their support for the changes staff made to the
ordinance.
• Commissioner Traffas inquired how the one acre was chosen for the minimum lot size for
already developed properties. Mr. Jorgensen stated that the one-acre size would address some
of the concerns regarding preservation of woodlands, and is of a size that more easily
accommodates replanting of trees on site.
Motion was made by Einck, seconded by Swaney to recommend to City Council approval of the
ordinance amendments to Title 10 (Subdivisions) and Title 11 (Zoning) of the City Code relating
to tree preservation.

7. Tradition Development
Chair Zimmer opened the public hearing to consider the application of Tradition Development
for a Comprehensive Plan amendment to bring approximately 390 acres of land into the current
Municipal Urban Service Area (MUSA), a Comprehensive Plan amendment to re-guide properties
from Commercial to Medium/High Density and Rural Density to Low Density Residential,
Low/Medium Density Residential, and Medium/High Density Residential; and a Zoning Map
amendment to rezone properties from C-3, General Commercial District to RM-3, Medium
Density Residential District and RA, Rural/Agriculture District to RS-4, Single Family Residential
District, RST-2, Single and Two-Family Residential District, and RM-3, Medium Density
Residential District.
Todd Stutz of Tradition Development introduced the project. Mr. Stutz stated they currently own
200 acres of the overall 390 acres included in the application. Tradition Development is working
in conjunction with the remaining property owners that have signed on to be a part of the project.
Mr. Stutz provided an overview of the various steps and stated that this project is still within the
early stages of a lengthy process.
Ms. Goodroad presented an overview of the applications. Tradition Development (Artemis Land
Holdings, LLC) has applied for Comprehensive Plan MUSA staging and land use amendments and
Zoning Map amendments as a first step towards a master plan for a new residential community in
southwest Lakeville. Tradition Development has assembled five properties totaling 200.28 acres
(property formerly owned by the Lenertz family) and is working on behalf of 16 other properties
surrounding this area to be part of the amendment and potentially part of the new residential
development totaling 390 gross acres. Tradition Development is committed to creating a new
neighborhood parallel to Spirit of Brandtjen Farm with a variety of lot sizes, densities, quality
Page 141 of 163
Planning Commission Meeting Minutes, August 7, 2025 Page 3
residential construction, open space and development amenities. A high-level concept plan for
proposed land uses across the 21 properties has been prepared.
The Comprehensive Plan amendments include bringing approximately 390 gross acres of land into
the current Municipal Urban Service Area (MUSA). Parcels are either staged Expansion Area B or
Urban Reserve. The request also includes a Comprehensive Plan amendment to re-guide
properties from Commercial to Medium/High Density and Rural Density to Low Density
Residential, Low/Medium Density Residential, and Medium/High Density Residential. There is
also a Zoning Map amendment to rezone parcels to be consistent with the land use. The rezoning
request is to change C-3, General Commercial District to RM-3, Medium Density Residential
District and RA, Rural/Agriculture District to RS-4, Single Family Residential District, RST-2,
Single and Two-Family Residential District, and RM-3, Medium Density Residential District.
The remaining six parcels located south of the amendment area are not proposed to be re-guided
at this time but are likely to change as part of the 2050 Comprehensive Plan update. These parcels
will more than likely be re-guided to Low Density Residential.
Ms. Goodroad stated that Community Development Department staff has determined that the
requested land use plan amendment is consistent with the intent and goals of the 2040
Comprehensive Plan and recommends approval of both the Comprehensive Plan amendment and
the Zoning Map amendment.
Chair Zimmer opened the hearing for public comment.
The following people spoke:
Beth Louden, 12330 210th Street
Steve Hellevik, 12430 210th Street
Bob Erickson, 19081 Inndale Drive
Katie Gross, 22100 Penn Avenue

Larry Jones, 12450 210th Street
Mark Zweber, 12320 210th Street
Christine Thompson, 21840 Laigle Avenue, via email.
Concerns raised from the public comment include:
• Opinion that the proposed changes are premature
• Traffic concerns on 210th Street (CSAH 70); current impacts for residents along 210th Street
and the impact of a future access to the Artemis development
• Impacts to wetlands, drainage, trees, and wildlife habitat
• Extension of trunk sanitary sewer is not programmed in the 2025-2029 CIP.
• Subdivision in Scott County shows future street connection.
• Impacts to the City’s hunting map
• Impacts to the school district; City and ISD 194 need to be more strategic.
Page 142 of 163
Planning Commission Meeting Minutes, August 7, 2025 Page 4
• Question about future street locations and whether City will use eminent domain to
obtain land if owners aren’t willing to sell.
• Not enough detail in the current plan for the school district to determine future school
needs.
• Suggestion that the development use 2.5 acres lots as is being done by Tradition in New
Market Township
• Question as to whether existing wells will be permitted to remain and whether Laigle
Avenue would be paved from the south side of the development to the city boundary.
Motion was made by Swaney, seconded by Einck to close the public hearing at 7:25 p.m.
Voice vote was taken on the motion.
Ayes – unanimous
Ms. Goodroad stated that the AUAR uses development scenarios to assess the impact on
infrastructure such as traffic and roads as well as environmental impacts to wetlands, water, trees,
wildlife, etc. and include mitigation measures to address said impacts from development of the
site. The Parks, Recreation, and Natural Resources Committee will be involved in the evaluation
of the master plan. Mr. Stutz from Tradition met with the Superintendent staff of ISD 194,
supplying information regarding the projected number of families based on proposed housing
types. The road plan is a conceptual layout at this time and the city does not have any history of
using eminent domain. Ms. Goodroad added that the AUAR process typically takes about nine
months to complete.
Assistant City Engineer Jon Nelson noted that the proposed extension of sanitary sewer along 215th
Street on the east side of I-35 has been included in the proposed 2026-2030 Capital Improvement
Plan (CIP), which is being drafted but added that the plan has not yet been approved by the City
Council. He confirmed that the project was not included in the approved 2025-2029 CIP.
Chair Zimmer asked for comments from the Planning Commission.
• Commissioners Traffas and Einck asked for clarification on the timing of the zoning
amendments. Ms. Goodroad stated that moving forward with the comprehensive plan and
zoning amendments now is so that the approved changes to the Comprehensive Plan and
Zoning Map can be used as a scenario in the AUAR. As part of Met Council’s review of
comprehensive plan amendments, the city needs to demonstrate that the zoning of the parcels
in questions will be consistent with the changes to the Comprehensive Plan.
• Commissioner Kaluza noted that these amendments are a first step in a long review process,
of which there are many more steps before breaking ground on the site. He added that the City
is approaching the end of the current comprehensive plan, of which there have been changes.
He is supportive of the current proposal and comfortable moving forward with the next step.
• Commissioner Swaney asked about the jurisdiction notices and that the City hasn’t yet heard
back from everyone that was provided notice. Ms. Goodroad stated that jurisdictions have 60
days in which to provide a response but that typically responses are received with no comment.
Page 143 of 163
Planning Commission Meeting Minutes, August 7, 2025 Page 5
Ms. Jenson added that the City Council must approve the proposed amendment, after which
it is submitted to the Met Council for their review. Met Council will not deem the submittal
complete until either the 60 days have passed since the notice was distributed, or a response
has been received from each jurisdiction that was notified. Once that has occurred, then Met
Council will begin their review of the proposed amendment.
Motion was made by Kaluza, seconded by Einck to recommend to City Council approval of the
Tradition Development Comprehensive Plan amendments and the Zoning Map amendment and
approval of the findings of fact dated August 7, 2025.

8. Dakota Waste Solutions, LLC and OLAM Holdings 1, LLC
Chair Zimmer opened the public hearing to consider the application of Dakota Waste Solutions,
LLC and OLAM Holdings 1, LLC for a Comprehensive Plan amendment to bring approximately
120 acres of land into the current Municipal Urban Service Area (MUSA), a Comprehensive Plan
amendment to re-guide properties from Office Park to Warehouse/Light Industrial, and a Zoning
Map amendment to rezone property from O-P, Office Park District to I-1, Light Industrial District.
Mike Brandt of Kimley Horn introduced the project.
Ms. Goodroad stated that Dakota Waste Solutions, LLC and OLAM Holdings 1, LLC have applied
for Comprehensive Plan MUSA staging and land use amendments as well as a Zoning Map
amendment as a first step in development of these industrial properties. Dakota Waste Solutions,
LLC has submitted plans for development of property south of 215th Street, directly south of their
current operating location, to relocate the recycling and food processing businesses. OLAM
Holdings 1, LLC recently completed an AUAR which identified the need for staging, land use and
zoning amendments to support development of their properties for industrial uses. Concept plans
are underway for multiple industrial buildings. A residential property located between the two
OLAM Holdings properties has also been included at the owner’s request.
The Comprehensive Plan amendment includes amending the staging on three parcels from
Expansion Area B to the current Municipal Urban Service Area (MUSA). The request also includes
a Comprehensive Plan amendment to re-guide those properties guided Office Park to
Warehouse/Light Industrial. Finally, the application includes a Zoning Map amendment to rezone
parcels the same parcels from OP, Office Park District to I-1, Light Industrial District.
Ms. Goodroad stated that Community Development Department staff has determined that the
requested land use plan amendment is consistent with the intent and goals of the 2040
Comprehensive Plan and recommends approval of both the Comprehensive Plan Amendment and
the Zoning Map Amendment.

Memorandum
To: Planning Commission
From: Tina Goodroad, Community Development Director
Date: July 31, 2025
Subject: Packet Material for the August 7 Planning Commission Meeting
Agenda Item: Tradition Development Comprehensive Plan and Zoning Map Amendments
BACKGROUND
Tradition Development (Artemis Land Holdings, LLC) has applied for comprehensive plan
MUSA staging and land use amendments and zoning map amendments as a first step in a master
plan for a new residential community in southwest Lakeville. Tradition Development has
assembled five properties totaling 200.28 acres (formerly Lenertz property) and is working on
behalf of 16 other properties surrounding this area to be part of the amendment and potentially
part of the new residential development totaling 390 gross acres (316 net acres). Tradition
Development is committed to creating new neighborhood parallel to Spirit of Brandtjen Farm
with a variety of lot sizes, densities, quality residential construction, open space and development
amenities. A concept plan for proposed land uses across the 21 properties has been prepared.
The comprehensive plan amendments include bringing approximately 390 gross acres (316 net
developable acres) of land into the current Municipal Urban Service Area (MUSA). Parcels are
either staged Expansion Area B or Urban Reserve. The request also includes a Comprehensive
Plan amendment to re-guide properties from Commercial to Medium/High Density, Rural
Density to Low/Medium Density, Rural Density to Low Density and Rural Density to
Medium/High Density. Finally, the amendment includes a zoning map amendment to rezone
parcels to be consistent with the land use.
The remaining parcels located south of the amendment area (six parcels) will not be re-guided at
this time but rather when the 2050 comprehensive update is completed. These parcels will more
than likely be re-guided to Low Density Residential.

Adjacent and Affected Jurisdiction Notification. As required in consideration of
Comprehensive Plan Amendments, the proposed amendment has been submitted to 10 adjacent
governmental jurisdictions, the affected school district (ISD 194), and the Metropolitan Council for
review and comment. At the time of preparation of this report, more than half of the jurisdictions
have responded. Staff received a comment from ISD 194, who indicated that they cannot support
the change at this time due to limited information on how the change will affect facility needs and
their need to formulate a growth timeline.
Comprehensive Plan Amendment. The comprehensive plan amendment is in two parts. The first
request is to adjust the staging on the 21 properties from Expansion Area B (11 properties) and
Urban Reserve (10 properties) to current MUSA, as illustrated in Exhibit B. Sewer will be extended
from the east along 215th Street, which will also serve future industrial development east of I-35. The
designation of Urban Reserve has always anticipated future urbanized development when sewer
capacity is available. Through this extension (2026 project) sewer capacity will be made available to
extend to these parcels.
The second part of the amendment is to re-guide parcels to land use designations based on the
concept plan that will provide a range of densities and residential unit types. The re-guiding is
illustrated on Exhibit C. Properties are proposed to be reguided as follows: from Commercial to
Medium/High Density and Rural Density to Low Density, Low/Medium Density, and
Medium/High Density.
The concept plan and related proposed land use designations will result in the development
having a minimum density of 3.5 units per acre, based on the combination of residential land
uses across the entire 316 net acres.

Zoning Map Amendment. Consistent with the land use designations described above, the same
properties are proposed for rezoning as illustrated in Exhibit D. Properties are proposed for re-
zoning as follows: from C-3, General Commercial District to RM-3, Medium Density Residential
District, RA, Rural/Agriculture District to RS-4, Single Family Residential District, RST-2, Single
and Two-Family Residential District, and RM-3, Medium Density Residential District.
RECOMMENDATION
Community Development Department staff has determined that the requested land use plan
amendment is consistent with the intent and goals of the 2040 Comprehensive Plan and
recommends approval of both the Comprehensive Plan Amendment and the Zoning Map
Amendment.
Findings of fact for approval of the comprehensive plan amendment and zoning map
amendment are included with the packet materials for your consideration.
