Adjourn Page 1 of 48 Date: 9/22/2025 Sketch Plan Review for Warweg Property Proposed Action Provide input on sketch plan for Warweg property south of Kenwood Trail Overview Staff received a sketch plan application from Norsq Companies for the 25-acre property formerly part of the George Warweg estate, located south of Kenwood Trail and east of Ipava Avenue. The property is currently under contract, and the applicant is seeking preliminary review and feedback on the proposed sketch plan. The site is currently split-guided and zoned: the western portion is designated OP, Office Park, and the remainder is zoned C-3, General Commercial. Due to site constraints, including limited visibility, restricted access points, and traffic circulation needs, future development as all commercial or office park under the O-P zoning is considered challenging. In February, the applicant presented an initial concept plan to the City Council during a work session, which included apartments and townhomes. At that time, the council directed the applicant to preserve as much commercial area as feasible, while recognizing the site limitations. The council also expressed support for retail uses that would complement Antlers Park. In response, the applicant has submitted a revised concept plan. The updated plan proposes 10.23 acres of commercial development in the southeastern portion of the site, which is an increase compared to what is currently guided and zoned as commercial. Proposed uses within this area include entertainment, restaurant, and retail opportunities, with a focus on “experiential retail” at the corner of Ipava Avenue and Kenwood Trail. More specific details regarding these uses will be shared by the applicant during the work session. The remainder of the site is proposed for market-rate townhomes with a clubhouse and multiple on-site amenities. Additional details are provided in the applicant’s narrative. The sketch plan will also be reviewed by the Planning Commission in a work session on September 18, 2025. Staff will provide a summary of the commission’s comments at the meeting.

DEVELOPER BACKGROUND Nörsq Companies is a fully integrated real estate development company with ownership possessing over 20 years of real estate development experience totaling over $2 Billion in total development value across the nation. Based in Plymouth, Minnesota, the company builds and operates communities across the Midwest, with ownership in over 46 multifamily projects across the US. They take pride in the communities they build in and seek to build long term relationships with the cities and neighborhoods they invest in. The companies name bodes homage to the strong Norwegian heritage that is engrained in the culture of their home state of Minnesota and community designs are influenced by Scandinavian architecture. 2. PROJECT VISION Nörsq Companies is proposing a 25-acre mixed use commercial project consisting of 10.5 acres of commercial/retail and 15.6 acres of a new construction single family housing community directly to the East of Antlers Park in Lakeville, MN, a city highly regarded for its great schools, park systems, retail, and close proximity to major employers. More specifically, young families are seeking communities like Lakeville to start families, but America is currently grappling with the widest housing cost gap for owning vs. renting a home on record since the federal government started tracking in 1954. The average house payment for a newly purchased home in Q3 2022 was 57% more expensive than the average monthly rental, the widest cost gap on record. With record high single family home prices in the for-sale market, coupled with low inventory and high mortgage interest rates, this project seeks to provide the same benefits of homeownership, including larger living spaces, personal 2-car garage, and outdoor patio space without the headaches, upkeep and expense of homeownership. This community helps to diversify the City of Lakeville’s housing stock product type availability which is one of the key housing land use goals in the 2040 comprehensive plan. Subject to obtaining final development plan approvals, we anticipate commencing construction in the Spring of 2026 and proceeding continuously to completion by late winter of 2027, with first occupancy expected in the summer of 2027. Townhome living options range from a 3-story 2 BD home with 1,338 SF of living space with a 2-car garage and outdoor deck area or a 2-story 3BD townhome with 1,883 SF of living space, 2-car garage and outdoor patio. Residents will be greeted with a prominent entrance with a tree lined boulevard leading to the main clubhouse that will provide ample amenities for residents. The planned community amenities for this market rate project include: • Fitness Center- An approximate 1,000 SF fitness center with state-of-the-art equipment overlooking the outdoor pool/courtyard area. Page 5 of 48 3 • Community Lounge- Large open shared community lounge that can accommodate private events (birthday, holiday, and other event parties) and overlooks the outdoor pool/courtyard area to engage residents and create a sense of community. • Outdoor Patio- An outdoor patio area will be situated near the pool and have outdoor seating and grill stations to encourage outdoor resident engagement. • Coffee Bar- A gourmet coffee machine will be provided for residents to use for residents with on the go lifestyles and to bring residents to common areas to further the community engagement. • Pet Spa- A large majority of our residents have pets, and this amenity space will include a stand up pet wash station, dryer, and treats for their loved ones. • Outdoor Pool- large outdoor pool will be provided for the residents use during the hot summer days. • Business Center- An approximate 1,000 SF business center/ WiFi lounge will be provided to the guests for their use as residents leverage a more integrated work from home environment. • Pickleball court – An outdoor pickleball court will be provided for the residents of this community to encourage active participation and engagement of residents of this community. 3. LAND USE The land is currently one large 25.01 Acre parcel zoned AG- Green Acres (agricultural) and is currently being used as farmland to grow crops. As part of the City of Lakeville 2040 comprehensive plan, the future land use is guided between two land uses: 1) Commercial use guided for 9.94 Acres and 2) Office Park, guided for 15.96 Acres (see Exhibit 4.1). During the February 24, 2025 city council work session meeting, we presented our initial design concept, which included 15 acres of medium density with 165 townhomes, 8 acres of high density residential with 200 units of apartments in a 4 story structure, and a 2.8 acre commercial site. During that work session, we heard from numerous individuals from both the city staff as well as the public expressing their feedback and concerns. Some of the most frequent feedback heard was : 1. City should purchase the 25 Acre Warweg site for public benefit. 2. Opposition to the 4-story apartment building. Primary concerns being height of project and traffic. 3. Public desired “experiential retail” and suggested indoor pickleball courts, slide park, trampoline park, and uses aligned with the new Antlers Park (restaurant use with patio, brewery, ice cream, kayak rental, etc.) 4. Townhome use – public liked the design and landscaped boulevard entrance mimicking the Antlers park entrance to bring uniformity. No other major concerns for or against apart from that feedback. We heard staff and the public’s concerns and did our best to incorporate all the feedback we could reasonably accommodate into our latest plan before you today. Specifically, we are seeking to amend the 2040 Comprehensive Plan to re-guide this parcel as “PUD – Mixed Use” at a concept level to support more commercial at 10.23 acres of commercial to accommodate Page 6 of 48 4 experiential retail and 15.67 acres of medium density residential across the site and specifically seeking development stage approval for the 15.67 acre townhome site. Upon consulting with local commercial brokers regarding retail viability in this location, the location of the proposed commercial has been moved from the Southeastern section of the site where the commercial use was originally guided to the NW section of the site due to 2 primary accessibility concerns: 1) railroad crossing and 2) signalized intersection. Regardless of whether the commercial is on the SE or NW side of the site, this site will always have the railroad encumbrance as a negative benefit to retail vs our neighboring retail at the Cub Foods anchored Heritage Commons location, which has direct access via a signalized intersection and no railroad crossing encumbrance. Heritage commons was developed in the late 1990’s and early 2000’s and is still not fully developed after 25 years. This helps speak to the commercial viability of commercial in this area, especially when stacked railroad cars sit in front of this site for days/weeks on end. Additionally, the comprehensive plan was established pre-pandemic, when office parks were more commercially viable and economically feasible, when post-pandemic office performance has reduced significantly. We feel our proposal balances the most economically viable projects that can be built for today’s market that incorporates feedback on what the public is looking for.

Overview The East Community Phase II project is the final project approved as part of the 2021 Park Bond Referendum. ISG has been consulting on the project and provided three preliminary master plans for staff to review and comment on. After staff review, two master plan concepts were developed and shared with the public. Included in your packet is a summary of the neighborhood survey results. The survey was distributed through various community engagement events. • In-person event during Pan-O-Progs Art on the Lawn on July 11 • Yard signs strategically placed in adjacent neighborhood parks • Direct postcards sent to just under 1,000 households in the immediate neighborhood • Social media posts on the Parks & Recreation Facebook page ISG attended the August 1 Parks, Recreation, and Natural Resources Committee to share the survey results and take committee comments. Of the two concepts that were shared, the "Heritage Landing" concept was the more popular. This concept highlights the farming and agricultural history of Dakota County and includes a variety of farm-themed elements. Based on the community survey feedback and comments from the committee, the following changes were made to develop a preferred master plan concept: • Expansion of the proposed dog park area • Additional stone overlook • Minor changes to the location of the plaza and play structure Design and specifications will be finalized later this year, and construction is scheduled to start in 2026.

Overview The city currently has four fire stations. In 2023 CNH Architects completed a study that analyzed each of the four stations to determine what improvements need to be completed to modernize the stations and prepare them for the new full-time/paid-on-call hybrid staffing model. The study included an option to combine fire stations 2 and 4 into a new fire station/administrative offices, within the Dodd Boulevard and Cedar Avenue area. Locating the combined station within this area would improve overall response times and provide operational efficiencies by reducing overall equipment needs and maintenance - the city would go from a total of four to three fire stations. The city council directed staff to move forward with designing a new combined fire station as outlined in the study. The study included a schematic design indicating the proposed station could be around 42,000 square feet with a preliminary cost of $25.2 million. In June, the City Council approved purchasing 12 acres of land at the northeast corner of 179th Street and Granby Lane, adjacent to Dodd Boulevard and Cedar Avenue, for the future construction of the combined fire station. Over the past several months, staff have been working with CNH Architects to evaluate multiple building concepts, floor plans, and fire station designs. As part of this process, staff also toured and consulted with four other cities that have recently constructed or are in the process of constructing new fire stations, allowing staff to incorporate lessons learned and best practices into our planning. Throughout the design discussions, staff have been guided by the principles of being fiscally responsible, future-focused and multifunctional, sustainable, supportive of organizational health and wellness, attentive to mental health, respectful of history, and community-centered. The proposed fire station would be located on 3.8 acres of land at the intersection of Granby Lane and Dodd Boulevard. The current design is approximately 53,000 square feet with an estimated construction cost of $30.8 million. This estimate also includes around $150,000 for the construction of a regional stormwater basin and an internal access road to serve the site. Staff and representatives from CNH Architects will provide a project update to the City Council, Page 36 of 48 including a review of the 42,000 square foot fire combined fire station concept as outlined in the original 2023 facility study and a review of the currently proposed 53,000 square foot fire station design.

The following outlines reduction areas that could be considered, along with the anticipated impacts these changes may have on operations, firefighter health and safety, community engagement, and long-term adaptability. Pub l ic Space Potential Cost Savings: x Reduce size of lobby and community gathering areas. x Eliminate or downsize public meeting spaces. x Limit finishes, furnishings, and technology investments in public zones. Impacts: x Reduces opportunities for public engagement, such as community meetings, fire prevention events, and civic partnerships. x Minimal effect on day-to-day emergency responses but could reduce visibility and accessibility of the fire station as a true community hub. Cl as s roo m / Training Space Potential Cost Savings: x Downsize classroom /EOC square footage. x Scale back A/V and instructional technology in favor of mobile systems. x Limit seating or classroom capacity to current, rather than future, staffing needs. Impacts: x Limit’s ability to host outside and in-house meetings and trainings for public and city staff at the consolidated station. Page 45 of 48 x Reduces capacity for joint training with regional partners, a key benefit of consolidation. x Training limitations could affect long-term readiness and firefighter development. AAcces s or ies / Stor ag e Areas Potential Cost Savings: x Reduce square footage for mechanical/electrical and certain storage areas. x Consolidate into fewer, multipurpose rooms. x Limit built-in cabinetry, shelving, and drying systems. Impacts: x Reduced capacity to house equipment and gear from two former stations. x May cause inefficiency or overcrowding in the new facility, undermining consolidation benefits. x Limits long-term adaptability as new technology and equipment are added. Fitn es s Area Potential Cost Savings: x Downsize the fitness room footprint. x Limit new equipment purchases, relying on a smaller set of essentials. Impacts: x Reduces daily accessibility for on-duty firefighters to maintain fitness standards. x Could increase injury risk, healthcare costs, or workers’ compensation claims over time. x Wellness facilities are often viewed as a baseline standard for modern fire stations; reducing them could affect retention and recruitment. x Physical readiness is essential for emergency response, making cuts here potentially costly in the long run. Summar y : The consolidation of Stations 2 and 4 into one new facility offers long-term operational and staffing efficiencies. However, reductions in public, training, storage, or wellness spaces may limit the ability to fully realize those benefits. Immediate construction cost savings must be weighed against future impacts to firefighter recruitment, retention and readiness, community engagement, and the adaptability of the new station to serve Lakeville for decades to come. Page 46 of 48 CCity of Lakeville F i re Departmen t M e m o r a n d u m To: Mayor and City Council From: Mike Meyer, Fire Chief Copy: Justin Miller, City Administrator Allyn Kuennen, Assistant City Administrator Date: September 22, 2025 Subject: Analysis of Potential Reductions at Stations 1 and 3 with the Construction of the New Combined Station. The construction of the new fire station, designed as a combined and expanded facility replacing Stations 2 and 4, was intentionally increased in square footage to ensure it can meet the service demands of a growing Lakeville. With the new combined fire station, consolidating resources and improving coverage, opportunities exist to reevaluate and potentially reduce the size and scope of future renovations or replacements at Stations 1 and 3. Op po r tunities fo r R edu c tions 1. Station 1 o Potential Reductions: Bay Space: the initial study planned for 6 bay spaces and with the construction of the new combined station the number of bays could be reduced to 5 at Station 1. Pub l ic sp ace/commun i t y roo m: With the proposed community spaces in the new combined station and capacity for hosting events, training, and community programs, Station 1’s public space could be minimized. Acces s or y/s torage roo ms: By consolidating specialized equipment storage at the new combined fire station, Station 1 could be built with reduced accessory/storage square footage. o Impacts: Station 1 would remain functional for day-to-day operations but would have reduced flexibility for hosting community or training functions. Page 47 of 48 2. SStation 3 o Potential Reductions: Bay Space: the initial study planned for 5 bay spaces and with the construction of the new combined station the number of bays could be reduced to 4 at Station 3. Cl as s roo m/training rooms: Similar to Station 1, training could be shifted to the new combined station, reducing the need for dedicated training facilities at Station 3. Acces s or y/s torage roo ms: By consolidating specialized equipment storage at the new combined station, Station 3 could be built with reduced accessory/storage square footage. o Impacts: Reduced long-term flexibility for Station 3 as call volume grows in its response district. A leaner design at Station 3 may save upfront costs but would require careful planning to ensure adequate space for core operations and apparatus storage. Strategic Considerations x Effic ienc y Th rough Centralizatio n : By designing the new combined station with the capacity to host training, fitness, and community engagement, the department can strategically reduce redundant spaces at Stations 1 and 3. x Bal an cin g Co s t and Cover ag e: While downsizing certain areas of Stations 1 and 3 provides immediate construction savings, it is important to preserve enough capacity for future growth and operational resiliency. x Long-Ter m Fl exibility: Any reductions should be carefully weighed against the potential for increased call volume or service demands in the Station 1 and Station 3 districts as the city continues to expand. Co n clusion The development of the new combined station provides a unique opportunity to streamline the designs of Stations 1 and 3, reducing redundant spaces and focusing those stations primarily on core operational functions. Potential reductions could include public and community areas, and accessory/storage rooms. However, these cost savings must be balanced with the need to maintain long-term flexibility, operational readiness, and adequate delivery service for the city’s growing population. Page 48 of 48
