presentation on the Stormwater Pollution Prevention Program. The City of Lakeville
is required to obtain a NPDES Stormwater Permit and develop and
implement a SWPPP that includes public education and outreach, public
participation/involvement, illicit discharge, detection and elimination, construction site
runoff control, post-construction site runoff control and pollution prevention/good
housekeeping.
Environmental Resources Coordinator Mac Cafferty presented the Wellhead
Protection Program. This is the first year the City of Lakeville has instituted a
Wellhead Protection program. The purpose of the program is to ensure the City is
supplying clean, safe water to residents. This is achieved through collecting
information on private wells within a 1½ mile radius of planned well sites, requiring
well owners to hookup to municipal water and sewer systems if available,
establishing water restrictions when deemed necessary, education of residents on
water conservation, monitoring of ground water levels, configuring control systems to
limit pumping to the minimum required to meet demands.

ITEM#7. Chadwick Farm 2 Addition final plat.
D R Horton has submitted a final plat for the second addition of the Chadwick Farm
development consisting of 61 single-family lots on 25.06 acres located east of
th
Jacquard Avenue and south of 210 Street. The developer dedicated 8.69 acres of
park land to satisfy the majority of park dedication requirements. The developer
shall be responsible for grading the park area and the greenway corridor. The land
area and cash requirements of the park dedication are calculated as follows:
Parks, Recreation and Natural Resources Committee Page 3
March 2, 2005
Gross Area = 139.95 acres
th
9950 210 Street = 1.07 acres (Park Dedication Fees Waived in 1991)
Future CC Dev. = 12.96 acres (Park Dedication Fees to be collected
when this area plats)
Preliminary Plat Area = 125.92 acres
The gross density is 216 units/125.92 acres = 1.72 units/acre, which is <2.5
units/acre; therefore, a 10% park land dedication is required. Total land dedication
required is: 10% x 125.92 acres = 12.592 acres.
The dedicated 8.69 acres of parkland represents 69.01% (8.69 acre/12.592 acres)
of the required land dedication; therefore, park dedication has been met for 149.07
lots (69.01% x 216 lots). A final cash park dedication fee will be collected on the
overall development after 149.07 lots are final platted. It is anticipated the park will
be built in the Chadick Farm development in 2006 or 2007.
This addition of Chadwick Farm brings the number of final platted lots to 114.
05.12 Motion by Lovelace and seconded by Messinger
to recommend City Council
nd
consider approval of Chadwick Farm 2 Addition final plat. Park dedication
requirements were previously met through a park land dedication. A cash park
dedication fee will be collected at the time of final plat on final phases of
development.
The developer will construct sidewalks and trails as outlined in the Planning and
Engineering reports.
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.
