final plat of Village Creek Second Addition, which consists of 97 single family ,lots
-and six outlots on 66.79 acres of land located east of downtown Lakeville, west of
Hamburg Avenue, .and south of Aronson Park. The 97 lots within this final plat
would complete the single family portion of the approved Village Creek
preliminary plat.
Mr. Mullenbach indicated that Weissmann Realty representatives are .also
requesting the vacation of public easements within the Village Creek preliminary
plat boundaries. The easements were not vacated with the Village Creek First
Addition final plat, as is standard practice, due to publication deadlines and the
desire of Weissmann Realty to complete some infrastructure improvements this fall.
Mr. Mullenbach stated that the subject property is zoned RS-3, Single Family
Residential and RM-1, Medium Density Residential. A portion of the property also
lies within the Shoreland Overlay District and Floodplain Overlay District for an
unnamed tributary to South Creek.
Mr. Mullenbach stated .that following approval of the Village Creek. preliminary
plat, modifications were completed within the second phase of the development,

preliminary plat and all lots meet the minimum lot requirements of the RS-3
District.
Mr. Mullenbach indicated that Hamburg Avenue will be paved as a rural section
from 210 Street to the- southerly access of Hartford Way with the Village Creek
First Addition improvements by November 30, 2001. The roadway will be
constructed to an urban section on the west- side and rural section on the east side
from the southerly entrance of Hartford Way. to the north plat boundary with the
Village Creek Second Addition development. Hamburg Avenue from the north
.plat boundary to 202nd Street will be paved as a rural section withthis phase of the
development. Phase 2 improvements to Hamburg Avenue will occur in 2002.
Mr. Mullenbach stated that .the connection to 207 Street West, which will be
constructed with this phase of the Village Creek development, will be barricaded
until 100 single family homes are completed or 3 years, whichever occurs first. He
indicated that a roadway, drainage and utility easement must be signed by the State
of Minnesota to allow this. connection. A representative from the State of
Minnesota Administration Department is currently .reviewing .the easement
documents. Sidewalk and curb and gutter improvements on 207 Street were
required with the Village Creek First Addition final plat.
Mr. Mullenbach. indicated that the Village Creek Second Addition final plat will
include construction of:
• 5 foot wide concrete sidewalk on both sides of Hartford Way;
• ° 5 foot wide concrete sidewalk on the .east side of Helena Lane and
Hazelwood Trail; and
• 10 foot wide bituminous-trail connections. on Outlot C and Outlot E.
Mr. Mullenbach stated. that a portion of the Village Creek development lies within
the Shoreland Overlay District for an unnamed tributary to South Creek. Property
within the Shoreland Overlay District is limited to 25% impervious surface
coverage.. Consistent. with standard practice, Mr. Mullenbach indicated that this
calculation can be applied over the entire portion of the plat within the Shoreland
Overlay District. Over 75% of the area within the Shoreland Overlay District has
been .deeded to the City of Lakeville as open space and parkland with the Village.
Creek First Addition final plat. Therefore, individual-single family lots within the
Village Creek development are not subject to impervious surface limitations.

Nays: 0 '
Commissioner Michaud made a point of clarification that in the planning packet on
page. 5, it states, "...individual single family lots within the .Village Creek
development. are not subject to impervious surface limitations." He wanted to be
sure that there would be a provision with each lot to indicate. this. Mr. Mullenbach
stated that there will be a provision included. in the development contract and it
will include each lot in the Shoreland Overlay District.
Commissioner Comer inquired whether the Planning Commission could see what
the bridge that will connect to 207 Street will look like. The developer indicated
that he did not have a picture of the bridge, but it will be a brick and iron design
with decorative lighting.
Commissioner Stolte indicated that in the Engineering Report it states, "the .City:
reserves the right to increase the street section at the time of construction based on
site conditions." Commissioner Stolte asked whether this referred to the 207
Street connection or the whole area, and if this is standard language.
Plaiuung Commission Meeting
October 4, 2001
Page 6
Mr. Hanson explained that this is standard language in all engineering reports.. It
refers. to the structural construction, not just the 207 Street extension,. i.e. a sub cut
and how deep that sub. cut is. Two feet is standard, but if soils are poor' and/ or
wet, the sub cut may need to be 3 feet. This is determined during construction.
Commissioner Stolte asked about the flows of the basin in Outlot D. Does it go to
the bio-retention pond?
Mr. Hanson stated that primarily the south central area of this plat discharges from
Outlot D. 207 Street takes run off from all of that area, discharges to outlot D and
then to the bio-retention pond.
Commissioner Wulff stated previously when we have had school crunches that we
have also had guidelines to follow as to how fast the development can build out.
She asked when students from Village Creek could be expected.
Mr. Wensmann stated, that the first phase has 22 lots which they will start
construction on this fall. Children from these 22 lots would probably enter the
school system in Fall, 2002. There are 971ots in the second phase.. Children from.
these 97 lots would probably enter the school system beginning with the 2002-03
school year and later.
..Chair Drotnng asked Mr. Wensmann if he would be mass grading the entire site
this fall.- Mr. Wensmann indicated that they would be. He wants to finish the site
grading this fall, and utilities and streets next spring.

young professionals and single people. The price range. of the townhome units will
be $140,000 - $180,000.

Mr. Morey indicated. that the easterly two-thirds of the subject property, adjacent to
the Marion Village single family neighborhood, is zoned RM-1, Medium Density
Residential District. The westerly one-third of the property, adjacent to Kenrick
Avenue, is zoned RH-1, Multiple Family Residential District.
Mr. Morey stated. that the entire subject property was previously zoned B-4,
General Business District. When the Zoning Ordinance and Zoning Map were
updated last year, the subject property was down zoned to RM-1 and RH-1
.consistent with the 1998 Comprehensive Plan Update. He indicated that a five acre
parcel owned by Stewart Properties, and not included in the Stonegate preliminary
plat, retained the commercial zoning classification (C-3).
Mr. Morey stated that the Stonegate development abuts 205 Street and Kenrick
Avenue.. He indicated that .205th Street and Kenrick Avenue are designated as
major collectors in the City's Transportation Plan. The developer is required to
upgrade 205th Street to an urban section from the west end of the existing urban

Page 9
units have an attached garage at least 20 feet in width and 540 square .feet in area.
The attached townhouse units in Stonegate are in compliance with these
requirements. Mr. Morey indicated that because the townhouse units in Stonegate
are slab-on-grade, a "safe room" constructed to FEMA standards for storm
protection must be constructed on the main floor level.
Mr. Morey stated that the development of Stonegate includes the construction of
two local streets..
Mr. Morey stated that Street A provides access to the development off of 205
Street. Street A is proposed to be stubbed at the north plat boundary and will be
extended to intersect with the westerly extension. of 203rd Street when. the adjacent.
Beissel property develops. He indicated that a temporary turnaround will be
constructed by the developer on the north side of Street A. Right-of-way for the
future extension of 203rd Street must be dedicated with the Stonegate final plat. The
developer will construct a five. foot wide concrete sidewalk on both sides of Street A
at their expense. The Stonegate development proposes a private access easement
from Street A to the adjacent C-3 parcel.
Mr. Morey stated that 204 Street provides access to the development off of
Kenrick Avenue and will intersect with Street A. The developer will construct a
five foot. wide concrete sidewalk. on both sides of 204 Street at their expense.
Mr. Morey stated that the developer is proposing to provide 77 off-street guest
parking spaces to serve the 154 townhouse units. They are dispersed throughout
the project area.
Mr. Morey stated that the :developer has submitted a preliminary landscape plan,
including a foundation planting plan, with the Stonegate preliminary plat. The
proposed berming and landscaping is intended to provide a buffer screen between
the townhouse units and 205 Street and Kenrick .Avenue as well as to provide
landscaping internally for the development. In addition, berming and landscaping
is proposed on the east side. of Outlot B in order to provide a buffer screen in the
100+ foot wide transition area adjacent to the single family. homes in Marion
Village.
Mr. Morey indicated that the developer has designated Outlot B, the transition.
buffer, and adjacent area to the west as usable open space. The.. identified usable
open space area is 2.76 acres, or 10.3 % of the. gross area of the preliminary plat.
Planning Commission Meeting
October 4, 2001
Page 10
Mr. Morey stated that a transition is required on the east side of the Stonegate
development due to the RS-3 zoning of the adjacent Marion Village single family
neighborhood. Outlot B is proposed as the transition and has a width ranging from
100 feet at the south end to almost 200 feet on the north end. Infiltration basins are
- proposed on the west side of Outlot B and a berming/landscape screen is proposed
on the east side adjacent to the existing single family homes. Outlot B will be
owned by the .homeowners association, however, a public drainage and utility
easement will be dedicated over Outlot B with the Stonegate final plat.

Commissioner Wulff wanted to know about the feasibility of the Street A extension.
She indicated that she wouldri t want a street stub if it is not feasible to extend the
road to the north when the Beissel property develops. Mr. Moerhl indicated that he
has studied the adjacent property and feels the road can be extended to the north in
the location shown conceptually on the preliminary .plat. Mr. Moehrl stated that
the grade of the future extension of Street A will be 6-8°/a.

property.. Mr. Beissel stated he has access off of both 203rd Street and Kenrick
Avenue.
Mr. Hanson stated that the Beissel property was mined previously so the grades are
challenging.
Mr. Morey indicated that reclamation is required of mining operations under the
..current Zoning Ordinance.

- indicated that he is comfortable with the plan and the general location of the road
connections are acceptable.
Commissioner Michaud commented that there are gaps in the proposed berm
within Outlot B. He was .questioning whether the berm height should be
continuous all the way across.
Mr. Moehrl stated that the berm was designed, in part, to be aesthetically pleasing.
It could be made continuous with some modification to the plan.
Commissioner Wulff agrees that, for the benefit of the existing residents to the east,
the berm height should be continuous.
Planning Commission Meeting
October 4, 2001
Page 13
Mr. Hanson stated that undulation in the berm height keeps drainage from going
onto the adjacent single family lots.
Commissioner Puncochar indicated that there are other places in the City that have
a natural gas pipeline such as this one. Mr. Morey stated that there is a natural gas
pipeline located east of Flagstaff Avenue in the Kenridge neighborhood.
Commissioner Wulff stated that the townhouse building on Lot 5, Block 2 should
be shifted to the north further away from the adjacent C-3 parcel. Mr. Moehrl
agreed that this could be done.
.Commissioner Detjen asked. about access to the adjacent property. Mr. Hanson
stated there could be one driveway access off of Kenrick Avenue .and one off of
205 Street.
Commission Detjen did not like the idea of the townhouse development access into
the commercial property because it would have .three points of ingress and egress
that could limit the options on siting a future commercial building on the property.
Break at 8:2D p.m,
Reconvened at 8:30 p.m.
Commissioner :Michaud wanted to know if the private access to the commercial
parcel off of Street A needs to be there. Mr. Morey stated that the private drive
access to the commercial property is for the convenience of the Stonegate residents.
Chair Drotning took a poll on whether the private drive access should be required.
Commissioner Detjen liked having the ability to add the' drive later if it fits with the
commercial development when it is proposed. He favored the .private access
easement.
Commissioners Comer, Michaud, Grenz, Wulff, Stolte agreed with Commissioner
Detjen.
_ Commissioner Puncochar felt it was in the benefit of public safety to require the
private driveway connection to reduce short trips onto major collector 205 Street.
Planning Commission Meeting
October 4, 2001
Page 14
Chair Drotning expressed: his preference for stubbing the private drive to the
commercial property with the Stonegate development due to problems in the past
when street stubs were not required up front (Country Pond South).
Commissioner Wulff wanted to wait and analyze the need for the private drive
depending upon the proposed commercial use of the adjacent property..
Commissioner Stolte wanted to know who would pay for the private drive if it is
constructed with the commercial development. Mr. Morey indicated that it would
be the commercial developer's responsibility..
Commissioner Puncochar excused himself at 8:45 p.m.
Chair. Drotning asked about the design of the 205 Street upgrade to an urban
section with .the Stonegate development.
Mr. Hanson indicated-that the roadway will be 52 feet wide, which provides fora 3
lane roadway design, with the center lane being the left turn lane at Street A.
Chair Drotning asked about a westbound right turn lane at Street A. Mr. Hanson
stated that there is adequate right-of-way for. a right turn lane.
Commissioner Comer asked where the snow from the private drives and guest
parking areas would be stored. Mr. Palmiter stated that there is snow storage
adjacent to the guest parking spaces at the ends of the private drives.
Mr. Palmiter also indicated that the snow could. be trucked off site, if needed.
Chair Drotning asked what about the definition of useable open space. Mr. Morey
stated that the RM-1 District has. a useable open space requirement, but. the RH-1
District does not. Mr. Morey showed the areas that would meet the useable open
space definition.
Mr. Morey indicated that the following modifications to the stipulations are:
