The developer revised the Marion Fields Fourth Addition preliminary and final plat. as recommended by the Planning commission by taking 16 single family lots and a cul-de-sac street proposed north of 204 Street and east of Ipava Avenue out of the plat and designating the area as an outlot (Outlot A) for future development. The Planning Commission made this recommendation to allow the developer time to explore the possibility of purchasing the four existing single family residences. fronting on 202nd Street, east of the Ipava Avenue extension and incorporating them into .the preliminary and final plat. Mr. Morey stated that the developer has concluded that it is not financially feasible to purchase these four existing residences and include them in the Marion Fields development; however, the Marion Fields Fifth Addition preliminary and final plat plans propose looping Indio Path to provide double street frontage for the four existing lots currently fronting on 202nd Street.

Mr. Hanson responded to questions from the Commissioners and provided clarification of the proposed projects and their relationship to land use. City Administrator Robert Ericksonstated that the reason staff requested the CIP public hearing be continued at the previous two Planning Commission meetings was to allow City staff time to meet with Dakota County to discuss funding and the timeline for improvements to the I-35/CSAH 60 interchange. As a result of the meetings with Dakota County, the timing for the interchange for improvements was moved up and the funding was put in place as follows: • The CSAH 60 ramps to southbound I-35 and the Kenrick Avenue realignment be constructed in 2002. • CSAH 60 from I-35 to CSAH 50 be improved to a four-lane divided highway in 2002. • The I-35/CSAH 60 bridge be replaced and CSAH 60 from I-35 to Scott County be improved to a four-lane divided highway in 2004. Mr. Erickson stated that the Planning Commission and. the City Council sent staff a strong message with their .consideration of the TimberCrest at Lakeville Comprehensive Plan amendment that traffic safety must be the highest priority. The agreement with Dakota County for funding the I-35/CSAH 60 interchange. improvements is unprecedented and addresses the traffic safety concerns raised during. the TimberCrest at Lakeville public hearings.
