Schubert, Tushie, and Ex-Officio Member Bornhauser in attendance.
Mr. Olson continued to say that the recommendations of the EDC were well
received by the Mayor and City Council with only a couple of minor changes or
additions suggested.
Chair Matasosky explained that the City Council was very receptive to the goals
and outcomes identified by the EDC and that the EDC received supportive
feedback.
Mr. Olson informed EDC members that Council Member Wulff suggested the
EDC include "and determine the cost of needed roads and what development will

Ecatomrc Development Commission `
Meeting Minutes
October 26, 2004
Significant Issue related to Transportation that was written originally as "Assure
that development along East-West Corridors B, C, D provides for the
development of these corridors". Staff has incorporated this additional wording.
Chair Matasosky stated that staff has made significant efforts to encourage the
Metropolitan Council to look at the designation of Co. Rd. 70 as a Principle
Arterial.
City Administrator Mielke explained that neither the Metropolitan Council nor the
State of Minnesota has enough resources to accommodate the transportation
needs of the region, which is a difficult issue for growth communities. He
continued to say that the Metropolitan Council. puts an emphasis on maintaining
existing roads rather than the creation of new roads.. The Metropolitan Council
has stated that local resources will need to be used to accommodate the growth
demands.
Chair Matasosky questioned if tax districts can be used to support new
transportation systems?
Mr. Olson responded by saying that cities can collect designated "impact fees"
(i.e. park dedication) but it is difficult to collect more under current state law that
municipalities operate under.
City Administrator Mielke explained that the County currently operates under what
is called "55!45 Cost Sharing° on projects with local units of government. It
means that 45% of road improvement costs go to the community the road is in.
Mr. Olson shared that Dakota County proposed a countywide fuel tax and is
looking into a "Wheelage Tax".
Comm. Schubert stated that the trucking industry had determined that the
countywide fuel tax would produce more harm than good.
Mr. Olson stated that if there were no further recommended changes or additions
to the 2005-2007 Strategic Plan materials, staff would proceed to incorporate this
information into a final draft document to be considered and approved at the
November EDC meeting.
Motion 04.12 Comms. TushielPogatchnik moved to authorize the preparation
of the final 2005-2007 Strategic Plan document including the
new Vision, Mission, Organizational Definition and Significant
Issues, Goals and Outcomes. Motion carried unanimously.
Mr. Olson stated that when a date is determined for the City Council meeting at
which the final document would be presented, staff will inform the EDC and

Economic Development Commission
Meeting Minutes
October26, 2004
request a member or members to attend the meeting. Mr. Olson continued to say
that a meeting is scheduled for tomorrow with the Downtown Lakeville Business
Association to discuss the preparation of a downtown plan.
City Administrator Mielke stated that staff would be encouraging a variety of
organizations and individuals to participate in the creation of the downtown plan.
Comm. Pogatchnik questioned what types of plans have been done previously for
the downtown?
Mr. Olson explained that there has been a Parking Study and Plan compieted as
well as the creation of the Design Guidelines for the downtown. He continued to
say that the plan should address both the long-term plan and zoning/land use
designations and the market for the downtown area.
Comm. Bornhauser stated that the downtown area has many ideas and tools, but
no actual plan.
City Administrator Mielke stated that the downtown area has no space to grow.
Mr. Olson shared with EDC members that the City Council members made
comment during the Work Session that now is a good time to create a downtown
plan as staff prepares to review the Comprehensive Plan beginning in 2006;
which will be adopted by 2008.
4) Review of Manufacturers' Week Activities
Mr. Olson stated that the Mayor and City Council declared October 18-22, 2004
as Manufacturers' Week in Lakeville at October 18th meeting. He continued to
say that EDC member Barry Pogatchnik was present at the Ciry Council meeting
to accept the proclamation.
The Manufacturers' Appreciation Luncheon was held at the Lakeville Area Arts
Center (LAAC) and was catered by Crystal Lake Golf Club. Approximately 120
persons attended including representatives from businesses and organizations
including Dakota Electric, Dakota County Technical College, Xcel Energy, Dakota
Future, Inc., and the Dakota County Community Development Agency attended
this year's event. Mayor Johnson and City Council members Wulff and Rieb were
also in attendance. Mayor Johnson and Chair Matasosky presented a
proclamation signed by the Mayor and a personalized Certificate of
Commendation signed by Governor Pawlenty to the businesses in attendance.
Copies of the recently updated Airlake Industrial Park map were laminated and
also distributed to those in attendance.

Economic Development Commission '
Meeting Minutes -
October26, 2004
He continued to say that the program this year was Airlake Industrial Park: Past
and Present 1993-2004 which highlighted the projects that have been done since
the change in ownership of the park from Hitchcock Industries to Airlake
Development, Inc.
Mr. Olson explained that staff is still open to having the luncheon at a business in
the Industrial Park in the future, but due to the full warehouses and a general lack
of available space to seat approximately 120 people, the LAAC was utilized this
year.
City Administrator Mielke stated that for the third time in a row, the City's bond
rating has been upgraded. He continued to say that the City came in at 4.5091.
on CIP bonds, which equals a savings of over $1 million on interest. Mr. Mielke
explained that while the State and County play a role in the determination of a
city's bond rating, the growing tax base and what is perceived to be the financial
management services for the city are the main factors in the determination. He
continued to say that there is only one more step the City can go before achieving
the highest bond rating (AAA) and that ISD 194 has a good bond rating as well.
5) Director's Report
Mr. Olson shared with EDC members that Comm. Brantly introduced Jim Kyne,
V.P. of Performance Office Papers who was the Spotlight on Business participant
at the October 4'" City Council meeting.
Mr. Olson also explained that the Livable Communities Act (LCA) of 1995 requires
the Metropolitan Council to report to the Legislature every year on the progress
being made by metro area communities toward providing and maintaining
affordable and life-cycle housing. He continued to say that in July, staff
completed the 2004 LCA Survey, which reported information from January-
December 2003. The Metropolitan Council then determined a housing
pertormance score according to the Guidelines for priori Funding for Housing
Performance. Lakeville's final score was 81, ranking 16 out of 184 cities and
townships. Mr. Olson stated that the housing performance score is one of the
factors considered in the evaluation and ranking of applications for Metropolitan
Council competitive funding programs later this year. He explained that the LCA
score from 2003 was evaluated and factored into the funding score for TEA-21
funds for the Co. Rd. 70 interchange.
Mr. Olson stated that copies of the comment letter authorized by the Mayor and
City Council to be submitted to the Metropolitan Council regarding the
Transportation Plan and the Water Resource Plan Amendment that will provide
for the future expansion of an interceptor sewer to Elko and New Market were
attached to the packet.

Economic Development Commission
Meeting Minutes
October 26, 2004
Mr. Olson explained that staff attended a Work Session earlier this month related
to 2005 Community Development Block Grants (CDBG) process. He continued to
say that one of the requirements for all cities in Dakota County in 2005 is that
50% of the activities to be funded in 2005 will have to benefit low-moderate
income individuals. This will result in a change in the type of activities that have
been funded in Lakeville in recent years. Staff will. be meeting with Mr. Mielke to
discuss and evaluate CDBG programs and will bring recommendations to the
EDC in November to be approved by the Ciry Council by January 15t.
Mr. Olson also shared with EDC members that through the end of September, the
City has issued building permits with a total valuation of $177,235,745. This
compares to a valuation of $190,254,499 during the first nine months of 2003.
Included in this amount is $34,861,642 for commercia(and industrial permits year
to date, which compares to $24,819,000 for commercial and industrial permits
during the same period in .2003. Also included in this valuation are permits for
309 newsingle-family dwellings and 396 townhouse units.
Comm. Smith questioned if the number of housing permits was increasing or
decreasing month to month?
Mr. Olson responded that the number of permits issued has been consistent from
year to.year and that the number of permits for townhomes passed the number of
permits for single-family homes for the first time last year. He continued to say
that the moratoriums did not seem to have an impact on the number of permits
issued.
Comm. Emond stated that as a company, Edina Realty is above last year in
number of sales. He continued to say that buyers are taking more time to look
and that it takes an average of 19 showings for a property to sell.
6) November and December Meeting Dates
Mr. Olson explained that since the normally scheduled EDC date for November
falls two days before Thanksgiving and since there are five Tuesdays in the
month of November, staff recommends the November EDC meeting be held on
Tuesday, November 30`h.
Mr. Olson also stated that consistent with past practice, staff recommends
canceling the December meeting.
Chair Matasosky mentioned that how to disseminate information regarding the
adopted 2005-2007 Strategic Plan to other community stakeholders should be a
discussion item for January.

October 26, 2004
Comm. Brantly recommended distributing a press release after the adoption of
the plan.
Mr. Olson stated that it is a good idea to emphasis that the 2005-2007 Strategic
Plan for Economic development is not a document that sits on a shelf. He
continued to say that staff would begin working on a work program after the plan
is adopted and will bring the work program for consideration by the EDG. Mr.
Olson also explained that the City would need to communicate and publicize the
accomplishments from the recently completed three-year plan.

Introduction And History Of The EDC's Strategic Plasuiing Efforts
The Economic Development Commission has a history of planning for the economic
future of Lakeville dating back to the first Strategic Plan completed in 1995. The EDC
continues to undertake a Strategic Planning process every two -three years. This
process includes reviewing the Commission's progress on the previous plan's goals,
examining the current issues facing the community, and drafting a new Strategic Work
Plan. The 2005-2007 Strategic Plan for Economic Development continues that tradition
of thoughtful and organized planning for the economic future of Lakeville.
Strategic Plans have enabled the Commission to focus their efforts and accomplish
tangible results. Activities that are now considered a standard part of Lakeville's
Economic Development program were conceived through earlier strategic planning
processes, including the "recruitment of businesses whose executives already live in
Lakeville", the development of "additional executive-level housing for new incoming
residents", "Development Project Feedback Surveys", "targeted marketing materials
including marketing videos," and "to inform and educate residents on benefits of C/l
base to gain community support and appreciation for business growth."
The 2002-2004 Strategic Plan for Economic Development identified four strategic work
areas and nineteen critical issues for the EDC:
? Support Major Transportation Facilities in the City
• Assess impact of interchange priorities for 50-60-70
• Need for major transportation arteries in the city including the need to provide
adequate access to commercial/retail/industrial areas
• I-35 Corridor enhancements
• Explore issues related to East-West Corridor
• Implementation of Gateway and Corridor Plan -need defined plan for
implementation
• Investigate/encourage expansion of airport and rail opportunities and their
impact on the C/l community
4
? Promote Policies of Quality Strategic Growth
• Encourage investigation of all potential upgrade opportunities in critical "business
infrastructure" elements -phone, data, and other infrastructure, to promote
positive outcomes for long term
• Encourage the use of development tools, e.g.: PUD's to integrate city design
standards with new developments to achieve overall consistencies
• Continue to partner with Lakeville Chamber and DLBA for promoting Lakeville's
identification - "Where we are located"
• Anticipate emerging/future city economic development issues and develop a
proactive solution
? Foster a Balanced Community
• Inform and Educate residents on benefits of C/I base to gain community support
and appreciation for business growth
• Identify solutions for affordable and lifecycle housing
• Work to retain the historical flavor of downtown area, developing it into a vibrant
business community and ensuring its long-term viability
• Make use of Southern Gateway opportunities and proximity to both metro areas
• Develop specific marketing for commercial growth
? Promote Growth of Industrial and Commercial Development to
Encourage Balance Between Cll and Residential Tax Base
• Financial planning for community -encourage community partners -schools, city,
county, state, etc. to provide input to create basic financial models that can be
used to visualize and measure potential threats, outcomes, and overall impacts of
our efforts to improve financial position of city in future
• Need to have a proactive budgeting process for EDC
• Affordability of land
• Current lack of retail

II. THE 2005-2007 STRATEGIC PLAN FOR
ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT
9
Participants In The Process
The Strategic Plan for Economic Development is a written three-year plan that guides
the work of the Economic Development Commission and Economic Development staff
in achieving the economic development objectives of the City of Lakeville. In order to
develop aliving/working plan it is imperative to have open communication between the
elected City officials and the EDC to establish agreed upon priorities. It is also important
to understand the historical context in which the EDC was formed and continues to
operate, as outlined earlier in this document.
The process of developing a new plan for the 2005-2007 biennium began in August
2004. Many elected and appointed officials and staff committed their time, talent and
energy to creating a strategic plan that would position Lakeville well in the future.

The Strategic Plaru~ing Process
In July 2004, a Significant Issues Survey was sent to the Mayor, Council members, City
Administrator and EDC members requesting a listing of what they felt were the
Significant Issues facing the City in 2005-2007. In August, the EDC, City Administrator
and Economic Development staff participated in a Strategic Plan Work Session
facilitated by Todd Rapp of Himle Horner, Inc. to articulate a vision, mission,
organizational definition, goals and objectives for the EDC. At the Work Session
Community and Economic Development Director David Olson provided background on
the EDC and a summary of the Significant Issues that were identified by the Mayor, City
Council and EDC members in the Significant Issues Survey.
In September, the EDC members met to review the preliminary vision, mission,
organizational definition, and significant issues that had been developed at the Work
Session.
A Joint Work Session was held in October with the EDC, Mayor and City Council to
discuss the draft 2005-2007 Strategic Plan vision, mission, organizational definition,
significant issues, goals and outcomes and to receive feedback and/or
recommendations on the preliminary draft of the 2005-2007 Strategic Plan for Economic
Development. At the Work Session, Council members supported the preliminary
recommendations of the 2005-2007 Strategic Plan.
EDC members approved the draft vision, mission, organizational definition, significant
issues, goals and outcomes at the October EDC meeting and recommended that staff
continue to develop the final 2005-2007 Strategic Plan for Economic Development for
their consideration in November and consideration by the City Council in December.
12
Vision
Every organization needs a vision of how it will operate and a clear mission that it is
dedicated to achieving.
During the Work Session in August, the EDC had a discussion of what their dreams
were for the City of Lakeville and the existing strengths that will result in the
achievement of their dreams and the weaknesses that may stand in the way. From that
discussion EDC members focused on creating a vision for the City of Lakeville and what
they feel the community should develop into. The vision is intended to guide the work of
the EDC and to be communicated to the public.
2005-2007 Stralcgic Plan Vision
Lakeville is a unique and attractive community where people and families want to live,
learn, work and enjoy for their entire lives and where businesses choose to locate due
to an attractive business climate.
13
Mission
Just as a vision helps an organization define how it will operate, a mission is necessary
in order to be clear on the purpose of an organization. Understanding the historical
perspective of the EDC and the vision of how the EDC will operate resulted in a
revaluation of the mission statement from the 2002-2004 Strategic Plan and its
relevance for the future. Anew mission statement was developed which reflects the
Commission's charge to be proactive and to achieve balance to the business and
residential community.
~U05-2OO7 Stratc~;ic Plan VllsslOll
The Economic Development Commission is committed to identifying and
managing innovative economic growth, which enhances the quality of life and provides
balance to the business and residential community.
14
Chrgaziizational Definition
The 2005-2007 Strategic Plan for Economic Development will be the first plan to include
an organizational definition. The organizational definition is a statement of who the
organization is and what it does. The organizational definition will be used for the
purpose of keeping on task and to communicate with Council, residents and
stakeholders.
200.5-2007 Strategic Plan Organizational Definition
The EDC is an advisory group of business people that promotes and responds to
community and economic growth by:
• Serving as policy advisors to Council and staff about community and
economic development issues
• Anticipating internal and external changes in opportunities, challenges
and trends that may affect development
• Communicating with the Council, residents and stakeholders while
listening and reacting to the opinions of interested parties
• Building relationships and facilitating cooperation among stakeholders
• Promoting Lakeville as a good place to live, work and do business

III. WORK PINS
27
2005-2007 Work Plan
The Work Plan for each year of the three-year Strategic Plan will be developed and
prepared as a separate document. The Work Plan for each year will be based on
available staff and budgetary resources for the coming year. The Work Plan will be
prepared by staff and presented to both the EDC and City Council.
In addition to the actual work program, it is important that the City and the EDC
effectively communicate on an on-going and regular basis the vision, mission, as well as
goals and desired outcomes of the Strategic Plan. This will allow for residents and
business owners to understand and hopefully support the City's Strategic Plan for
Economic Development.

DATE: November 22, 2004
RE 2005 CDBG Application
The City has to submit an application for 2005 CDBG. funds to Dakota County by December
31, 2004.: It is anticipated that the City wilt receive approximately $108,300 in 2005, which is
approximately 5% less thah was received in 2004.
The Dakota County CDA is implementing a new requirement for 2005 applications that
requires all subrecipients submit applications with a# least 50% of the funded activities for
.2005 being activities or projects that provide benefit to low/moderate individuals. This
stipulation is being implemented to ensure that the CDA meets its HUD requirement of 70%
of total CDBG expenditures for the County are for activities that provide benefit to
low/moderate. income individuals.
In recent years, CDBG funds in Lakeville have been used for slum/blight removal activities in
the Downtown area. That last low/moderate income eligible activity CDBG funded in
Lakeville was in 2001 when the City assisted in the acquisition of the Wren site for a future
affordable family rental housing project.
There are a number of possible iow/moderate income eligible CDBG activities currently being
researched by staff including:
Home Rehabilitation Loan Programs
• Home rehabilitationloans (The CDA currently administers this program on a County wide
basis from a pool of CDBG funds that they make available county-wide. However we
could designate a portion of our allocations to made available specifically for loans to be
made in Lakeville.) ;
• .Manufactured home rehab loans up to a maximum of $5,000. (The City of Apple Valley
has been administering this type of program for a number of years.)
Senior Citizen Funded:Pro~rams
• Improvements to the Senior Center (The Park and Recreation Director is currently
reviewing specific capital improvements that are needed at the. Senior Center.)'
• Another possible activity would be to fund additional transit services specifically forsenior
above and beyond the DARTS service currently available.
Staff is still reviewing the feasibility of these and other low/moderate income eligible activities
and will present this information at the November 30, 2004 meeting.
It is recommended that the remaining 50% of the 2005 CDBG funds be utilized for a possible
Downtown Code Improvement project as it is anticipated the 2004 Code improvement funds.
will be recommended to be re-programmed to fund the Downtown Plan recommended in the
2005-2007 Strategic Plan.

a bowel obstruction and a large portion of his small intestine was removed. Jerry is at

Update on VF-W House #2 Demolition
Staff is working with Dakota County CDA and the VFW Post 210 to demo the vacant,
single-family structure at 20860 Howland Avenue. The-City will contribute up to $20,000 in
CDBG funds to demolish the structure and bring in black dirt and seed. The CDA is in the
process of soliciting bids for the hazardous materials testing and their findings will be
incorporated into the bid requests for demolition. Staff is hoping to complete this project by
the end of the year.
Buiidina Permit Update
Through the end of October, the City has issued building permits with a total valuation of
$216,057,732. This compares to a valuation of $212,113,404 during the first ten months of
2003. Included in this amount is $38,668,142 for commercial and industrial permits year to
date, which compares to $30,983,000 for commercial and industrial permits during the
same period in 2003. Also included in this valuation are permits for 338 new single-family
dwellings and 500 townhouse units. Attached is a copy of the full building permit report
through October 31,2004..
Customer Service Training
The customer service training for City employees that was scheduled to be completed in
2004 has been postponed to 2005. This determination was made due to the recant
resignation of the Gity's'Human Resource Manager and the desire to incorporate other
components into this staff development program. Staff will keep the EDC informed as the
details of this staff development initiative became more definite in 2005.

PARKS, RECREATION AND NATURAL RESOURCES COMMITTEE
November 17, 2004
ITEM #i. Call to order.
The meeting was called to order in the Council Chambers at City Hall at
6:00 PM.
ITEM #2. Roll call.
Present were Committee Members J. Berg, R. Boldus, J. Volimas and
H. Lovelace. Also present were Parks and Recreation Director Steve
Michaud and Recording Secretary Pat Vinje. Special guests attending
included members of the Economic Development Commission: Robert
Brantly, Jack Matasosky and Barry Pogatchnik. Unable to attend were
P. Messinger and T. Goodwin.
ITEM #3. Approval of Parks, Recreation and Natural Resources
Committee meeting minutes of November 3, 2004.
The minutes of the November 3, 2004 Parks, Recreation and Natural
Resources Committee meeting were presented. The minutes were
approved as written.
ITEM #4. Citizen Comments.
There were no citizens present at the meeting for items other than what is
scheduled on the agenda.
ITEM #6. Continued discussion regarding park dedication fees.
Parks and Recreation Director Steve Michaud introduced members present
from the Economic Development Commission including Robert Brantley,
Jack Matasosky and Barry Pogatchnik. The discussion of the park
dedication ordinance focused on the commercial and industrial fees. Staff
referred to the outline indicating the park dedication fees for commercial
and industrial plats had not been increased since December 2000. Since
that time, land prices have increased dramatically. State statute allows for
up to 10% of land or land value for .park dedication. City Attorney Roger
Knutson has recommended the City base their park dedication ordinance
on land values.
EDC Member Brantly asked how the needs for parks are currently being
met. Staff responded in addition to park dedication fees, the park bond
referendums of 1984 ($1.8 million) and 1994 ($3.8 million) in addition to
grant funding have assisted with meeting park development needs. One
additional athletic complex is identified in the Lakeville Park and Open
Space System Plan. However, with the construction of a second high
school, which was not anticipated when the City updated the last park
system plan in 2000, an additional athletic complex may not be needed.
Staff will need to watch demographic trends to determine future needs
associated with major youth athletic associations. Annually, the City park
dedication fund expends about $1 million per year within the park system.
Parks, Recreation and Natural Resources Committee Page 2
November 17, 2004
The fund is struggling to maintain a balance as new parks are added to the
system. In addition, certain facilities within the system are 20-30 years old.
The Antlers Park building (28 years old) and Aronson Park building
(30 years old) will need upgrades and/or replacement in the near future. In
addition to replacing older buildings, the City has started a playground
replacement plan. This is being funded by the park dedication fund. It may
be proper to transfer these replacements to the general fund major
maintenance category. New neighborhood parks such as Prairie Lake,
Village Creek and Chadwick Farm may cost $500,000 to 800,000 each to
develop. When a park is dedicated in lieu of cash, available funds in the
park dedication fund may take a couple of years to recover enough to
afford the next major park development. The purpose of the :park
dedication fund is to provide funds for new development and provide new
parks to service the recreational needs of new residents.
EDC Member Matasosky stated there should be a good plan in place
instituting a process or sharing information about the issues. The business
community will want to know why the fees are being raised. The Economic
Development Commission encourages on-going communication.
Staff stated prior to 2002-2003, the formula used to increase park
dedication fees was based on the consumer price index and the
construction cost index. In 2003, the Parks, Recreation and Natural
resources Committee and City Council approved establishing a base land
value per acre. The base land value was then used to calculate the per
dwelling unit cost for new developments. The 2003 per acre land value
was $50,000. The 2004 per acre land value was increased to $56,000. At
present, there are several land sales ranging between $80,000 and
$125,000 per acre. The change to a per acre land value base to determine
park dedication fees was recommended by our attorney in order to be
more in line with state statutes.
Member Matasosky indicated the Industrial business owners do not see
any return on investment from park dedication fees. Minnesota has the
most expensive development fees in the 5-state area. The commercial
park dedication fee needs to incorporate charges for parks, engineering
and the corridor design study to legitimize the fee. It was mentioned
commercial and industrial businesses do impact a community's parks and
recreation program and facilities through participation in adult sports teams
and through company picnics at our community parks.
Committee Chair Berg asked for clarification regarding the importance of
assessing fees to the developer.
Staff answered the residents of Lakeville value the community parks,
athletic complexes, neighborhood parks and most importantly the trail
system. City biannual surveys consistently show parks and trails rated
very high with Lakeville residents. There are many future parks and a
Parks, Recreation and Natural Resources Committee Page 3
November 17, 2004
comprehensive parks system vision that will need continued funding
through park dedication fees well into the future. An additional bond
referendum may be needed. Lakeville must continue to support this type
of funding or develop alternative resources to meet the needs of a fast
growing community. The last comprehensive park and open space system
plan was updated in 2000. Updates are recommended every five years.
Due to the tremendous growth in Lakeville, staff will be recommending the
system plan be updated in 2005.
EDC member Matasosky stated there needs to be a clear understanding of
the future park system vision. The cost should be based on the people
coming in to the city. It is a system of paying for what you're getting.
Whatever the price is, they will pay it. Development will still come to
Lakeville.
Staff added the new residents and businesses coming to Lakeville are
creating the demand for services. The cost per unit in new development
pays for parks in new areas plus contributes to community facilities such as
North, King, Ritter, Antlers Park and the community wide trail system.
Fees need to be raised to keep pace with the escalating cost of land and
associated development.
EDC .member Brantly commented he wants Lakeville to be a leader in
every way. It is agreed the fees should come from the newcomers to
Lakeville. It is necessary to prove to the existing residents that the park
dedication fees are not being paid by existing residents but rather by new
development.
Staff spoke of recent park developments including Village Creek and
Prairie Lake. Residents living near these parks are very happy and feel
they are getting good value for the cost and the parks are serving their
.needs.
EDC member Matasosky stated house values will continue to rise.
EDC member Brantly added the park system plan should be updated and
the fees perceived as reasonable. It is important to continue Lakeville's
reputation for excellence.
EDC member Matasosky indicated it is important to know the plan for the
future. Reasonable fees are advised.
The discussion concluded and staff and the committee thanked the
members of the Economic Development Commission for their insight into
the commercial park dedication fee review.
Staff will keep the Economic Development Commission updated as the
review process continues.

ITEM #5. Staff reports and summary of current projects.
The DNR grant awarded to the Sno-Trackers snowmobile club for the
purchase of a new groomer has been delayed. The process between the
State and Federal government agencies has not been completed.
ITEM #7. RST Addition preliminary and final plat.
Within the Chadwick Farm plat, a 60-foot wide by 240-foot long remnant
parcel was split off from the final plat. The developer, D R Horton, has
worked with the adjoining neighborhood to split this remnant parcel and
combine half with each of the adjoining neighbors. There is no park
dedication requirement as a result of this platting. All park dedication
requirements previously have been satisfied by the Chadwick Farm plat.
04.49 Motion by Boldus and seconded by Lovelace to recommend City
Council consider approval of RST Addition preliminary and final plat. The
park dedication requirement was previously met with the Chadwick Farms
plat.
In addition, the developer is required to follow the natural .resources
requirement detailed in the Planning and Engineering reports associated
with tree preservation, grading, drainage and erosion control and further
recommendations by the Dakota County Soil and Water Conservation
District, if applicable.
Ayes - 4 Nays - 0
