ITEM 5: Hosanna! Lutheran Church 2"d Addition (continued from March 2, 2000 meetin_g) ~ y~
Commissioner Moates stepped down from his chair and excused. himself from discussion ?
and action on this agenda item because he is a member of the church.
Chair Drotning indicated that a public hearing was held on March 2, 2000 to review and
receive input on the applications of Hosanna! Lutheran Church for the following: 1)
vacation of public easements; 2) a preliminary and final plat for Hosanna 2"d Addition, and
3} a Conditional Use Permit Amendment to allow an expansion to the Hosanna! Lutheran
Church building and parking lot. The public hearing was closed and action on the
Hosanna! Lutheran Church expansion project was tabled to allow the applicant an
opportunity to address issues raised by the Planning Commission and public at the public
hearing regarding additional landscaping along the westerly property line .between the
proposed ponding area and the existing residential townhome development and along
165th Street.
Associate Planner Frank Dempsey stated that Hosanna! Lutheran Church has submitted
revised preliminary and final plat, grading and landscape and tree preservation plans that
address these issues. The amended plans include enlarging Outlot B to encompass the
entire stormwater pond and slope. The proposed pond has been shifted to the east so
that it is located 25 feet from the westerly property line to allow a greater buffer area and
additional tree plantings along the west side of the stormwater pond for enhanced
screening between the pond and the existing townhouses to the west. Also, the grading
plan has been amended to allow additional landscape screening materials to be: planted
along 165t" Street near the proposed new driveway access and expanded parking area.
The revised grading plan also allows for additional landscaping at a higher elevation to
allow screening of automobile headlights as they exit the parking lot onto 1651h. Street.
Mr. Dempsey stated that should the Planning, Commission recommend to City Council
approval of the applications of Hosanna! Lutheran Church as submitted, Community and
Economic Development Department staff recommends approval subject to the nine
stipulations as listed in the .February 25, 2000 Planning Report.
Mr. Jim Hayes, Hosanna! Lutheran Church Building Committee Chair, was in attendance
and responded to questions from staff and Commission members. Mr. Hayes indicated
that the revised landscape and grading plans address the two issues identified by the
Planning Commission in their initial review of the plat. Shifting the stormwater pond to the
east allows for additional landscaping/screening between the existing townhouses and the
church property.. Additional landscaping is also being proposed along 165th Street.
Commissioner Wulff questioned why the west line of proposed Lot 1, Block 1 jogs to the
east. Mr. Hayes responded that the ~og follows the parking lot expansion and the
proposed driveway access onto 1651 Street. The applicant. is willing to straighten .the
H:IFILESIWORDIPLANCOMIMINUTES1April13-OO.doc
Planning Commission Meeting
April 13, 2000
Page 3
proposed lot line. The Planning Commission agreed that they would prefer the plat be
revised to straighten the west line of proposed Lot 1, Block 1.
Commissioner Wulff requested clarification of the extent of landscaping and screening
proposed west of the. proposed driveway access onto 165t" Street. Commissioner Wulff
- asked if a slight berm could be installed to the west of the driveway that would be
consistent with berming proposed east of the driveway. Mr. Hayes indicated that
additional berming at the driveway/165t" Street intersection could become a safety issue.
Acting Community and Economic Development Daryl Morey noted that the landscape and
grading plan should be reviewed to ensure that a sight visibility triangle is established.
The Planning Commission agreed that the following ;stipulations be added for approval of
the Hosanna! Lutheran Church applications:
Stipulation No. 10: "Prior to City Council consideration, the final plat must be revised to
straighten the west line of Lot 1, Block 1."
Stipulation No. 11: "Prior to City Council consideration, the Grading and Landscape Plans
must be revised to include a berm for all landscaping proposed on the
north side of 165t" Street and a 30-foot sight visibility triangle at the
west driveway access on 165t" Street.."
29 MOTION by Wulff, Second by Kot to recommend to City Council approval of the
applications of Hosanna! Lutheran Church for: 1) vacation of public easements; 2) a
preliminary and final plat for Hosanna 2"d Addition, and 3) an amendment to Conditional
Use PermifiAmendment No. 96-01 to allow an expansion to the Hosanna! Lutheran
Church building and parking lot subject #o the nine stipulations as listed in the February

ITEM 6. Public Hearing: Kurt Weber -Variance Request ~ 0p~0~ )
Chair Drotning opened the public hearing to consider the application of Kurt Weber for a
lot area and width variance and building setback variance in the Shoreland Overlay
District. Assistant City Attorney Poehler attested that the legal notice. had been duly
mailed and published in accordance with .state statutes.
Associate Planner Frank Dempsey presented the application of Mr. Kurt Weber for a
variance to allow the reconstruction of his home within setback requirements, located at
9990 - 199t" Street West. The subject property is a legal non-conforming lot of record in
the Antler's Park subdivision, platted in 1908, that does not meet current minimum lot area
and width standards. Mr. Dempsey noted that Mr. Weber initially presented a phased plan
for improvements on his property in 1998. A conditional use permit (CUP) was granted to
Mr. Weber on September 8, 1998 to allow the construction of a new detached garage on
his property, including the removal of an existing non-conforming detached garage. An
H:IFILESIWORDIPLANCOMIMINUTES1April13-OO.doc
Planning Commission Meeting
April 13, 2000
Page 4
amendment to the original CUP_was granted on December 13, 1999 to allow.the
construction of additions onto the existing home. The approved CUP .allowed for the
construction of a second floor with two additions on the north, one on the east and a new
deck with all additions within the required ten-foot side yard setback. The existing`east
wall of the building was only 1.5 feet from the side property line. MR. Weber's approved
CUP included additions to-the existing house with anon-conforming east side yard
building setback; however, Mr. Weber removed three of the four walls of the house,
leaving only the non-conforming east wall. Staff then informed Mr. Weber that he would
need a variance to side yard setback requirements. However, after considering his
options, Mr. Weber revised his site plan that proposes a new house that meets all setback
and impervious surface area requirements.
Mr. Dempsey stated that during. the. reconstruction process, staff discovered. that Mr,
Weber had removed the entire building except for the existing east wall. Because the
building had been destroyed beyond 50% of its fair market value, staff informed Mr.
Weber that he would now need a variance to reconstruct the house and maintain the 1.5-
foot setback from the easterly property line. Mr. Weber was also informed that, in addition
to the side yard setback variance, another variance would be required to construct the
house on his non-conforming lot. The subject property is legal non-conforming because it
is only 50 feet wide and has a lot area of 12,360 square feet. The current ordinance
requires a minimum lot width of 100 feet and a minimum lot area of 20,000 square feet for.
a lot abutting a lake.. A variance is required to reconstruct the home on the subject lot.
Associate Planner Dempsey stated that Community and Economic Development
Department staff have determined that the proposed new single family home is consistent
with other land uses in the area, eliminates the side yard setback non-conformity, is
consistent with the. Comprehensive Land Use Plan and meets the minimum requirements
of the Zoning Ordinance for granting a variance. Should the Planning,Commission
recommend to City. Council approval of the variance application of Mr. Kurt Weber as
submitted, Community and Economic Development Department staff recommends
approval subject to the five stipulations as listed in the April 7, 2000 Planning Report.
Mr. Weber reiterated his intent to completely reconstruct his single family home on his lot
in .compliance with aA setback requirements. Therefore, Mr. Weber stated his request for
a lot area and lot width variance and his request to withdraw his request for a variance to
side yard setback requirements.
There were no comments from the public.

ITenn 7. Public Hearing: 160 Cedar Addition: Walgreein's/Semper Development,
Limited and Kathleen, Robert and John Carroll
Chair. Drotning opened the public hearing to consider the application of Semper
....Development, Ltd. for the following: 1) easement vacation; 2) 160 Cedar Addition
preliminary and final plat; 3) Comprehensive Land Use Plan amendment; 4) rezoning;.
and 5) variance for cul-de-sac street length. Assistant City Attorney Poehler attested that
.the legal notices had been duly mailed and published in accordance with state statues.
Mr. Kohler of Semper Development indicated that the preliminary .and final plat includes
Lot 1, Biock 1 to be developed for a Walgreen's drugstore, one outlot for future.
commercial development, one outlot for future single family development. The plat
proposes access to 160t" Street (County Road 46) at two locations. The westerly access
point, proposed to be located near the western edge of Outlot B is in alignment with an
existing local street (Granada Avenue) that extends north into Apple Valley, and is a full
• access intersection. A second right-in, right-out access. is proposed onto 160t" Street
between the westerly access point and Cedar Avenue (County Road 23).
Mr. Kohler further noted that the plat includes improvements to the existing 161St Street
and 162"d Street accesses to Cedar Avenue that will improve access to and circulation
within the commercial site focusing commercial traffic to access the site from either Cedar
Avenue or 1601".Street and not through the adjacent single family neighborhood.
Mr. Kohler stated that Semper Development, Inc. hosted a neighborhood meeting on
Tuesday, March 21, 2000. The residents in attendance indicated their understanding that
the subject property has been zoned for commercial development for many years. Some
of the issues the residents discussed included traffic circulation, screening of the
commercial uses from the existing residential uses, and possible impacts of the proposed
Glen Oaks Road cul-de-sac on traffic in the neighborhood. Mr. Kohler provided details
regarding the significant landscape buffer proposed between the existing and future
commercial property and adjacent single family homes south of 1.62"d Street. Also, a
pedestrian trail will be constructed from the end of the proposed Glen Oaks Road cul-de-
sac to the existing bituminous pedestrian trail on the west side of Cedar Avenue. The trail
will be constructed to direct pedestrians to the controlled signal at 162"d Street and Cedar
Avenue.
Mr. Kohler stated that the Walgreen's building will be constructed with the same style and
color brick as the City liquor store located in this area. Also, all future commercial
• buildings vvill be constructed of similar brick material. Other elements of the site plan that
were discussed included location of an enclosed brick trash receptacle enclosure, parking

lot design, all proposed signage being directed away from the residential neighborhood
and a monument sign proposed to incorporate the design elements identified in the
gateway/corridor design study.
Associate Planner Frank Dempsey presented a summary of the planning actions required
for the proposed development of the 20.44-acre site located in the southwest quadrant of
160t" Street and Cedar Avenue.
Mr. Dempsey noted that. the proposed preliminary and final plat consists of one platted lot
and three outlots. Lot 1, Block 1 is a two-acre site proposed to be developed for a
Walgreen's drugstore. Outlot A, a three-acre site, is proposed for future single family
residential development. Outlot B consists of 13.8 acres and is proposed to be developed
for future commercial use. Outlot C will be deeded to .the City in conjunction with the
conversion of Glen Oaks Road to a cul-de-sac on Lot 1, Block 1, Cedarglen.
Mr. Dempsey stated that all existing public easements located within the subject property
are proposed to be vacated and re-established with the proposed 160 Cedar Addition final
plat. He stated that an existing sanitary sewer line that runs through the property is not
located entirely within the drainage and utility easement that was established for the line.
All utility companies and property owners with a potential interest in the existing
easements have been notified and all have responded that they have no objection to the
proposed public easement vacations.
Mr. Dempsey noted that the Comprehensive Land .Use Plan supports commercial
development of the entire subject property. Outlot A will require a Comprehensive Land
Use Plan Amendment to allow for. the proposed future residential development. A
rezoning of Outlot A from B-4, General Business District to R-3, High Density Single
Family Residential Districf is being proposed in conjunction with the proposed
Comprehensive Land Use Plan amendment. The proposed future R-3 District residential
development is consistent with the existing R-3 zoning of the Cedarglen neighborhood to
the south and southeast of the subject property.
Associate Planner. Dempsey indicated that the proposal to create a cul-de-sac at the north
end of the existing Glen Oaks Road requires a variance to allow the cul-de-sac to be
longer than 500.feet in length. The landscaping at the end of the cul-de-sac will provide
screening of commercial traffic from the. Cedarglen neighborhood.
Associate Planner Dempsey. stated that should the Planning Commission recommend
approval of the applications of Semper Development, Limited, Community and. Economic
Development Department staff recommend that approval be subject to the ten stipulations
as listed in the April 7, 2000 Planning Report.
Dennis Eyler, Vice. President and Traffic Engineer for SRF Consulting Group, Inc., the
City's traffic consultant, presented an overview of the traffic study for the proposed
development of 160 Cedar Addition. Mr. Eyler reviewed the details of his memorandum to
the City dated April 7, 2000 which assesses the potential traffic impacts generated by the
H:1FIl.ES1WORDIPLANCOMIMINUTES1April13-OO.doc
Planning Commission Meeting

proposed development. Traffic forecasts and analyses were completed of scenarios for
existing conditions, a Year 2001 - No-Build and Build Phase One (Walgreen's only), and a
Year 2005 - No-Build and Build Full Site Development. Mr. Eyler described existing
conditions, site generated traffic and other site specific issues, and forecast conditions.
Mr. Eyler summarized the conclusions and recommendations of the traffic study, including
the potential for traffic signal controls at full build out of the site.
Chair Drotning opened the public hearing to receive comment from the public.
Steve Plaszcz, 16219 Godson Circle, noted that there is an existing. Walgreen's drugstore
less than a mile north of this site on Cedar Avenue in Apple Valley and questioned the
placing of another store in close proximity to the Apple Valley store. He also expressed
concern for future commercial uses and stated that. he would not be in favor of a strip mall
on this site. He further suggested that#his would be an excellent area for a neighborhood
park with a bike path connecting to the City park to the west.
Acting Community and ..Economic Development Director Daryl Morey identified on a map
the number of area parks and their proximity to the Cedarglen neighborhood noting that all
of the parks are accessible from this neighborhood via the City's trail system.. Mr. Morey
further noted that the future commercial use of Outlot B will. require a preliminaryplat
which requires a public hearing. The area neighborhood will have the opportunity to
review he plans when Outlot B is proposed to be developed.
AI Olson, 16230 Glen Oaks Road, expressed his support for the proposed Glen Oaks
Road cul-de-sac. However, he indicated skepticism as to the types of future commercial
uses that could develop on Outlot B.
Boyd Near, 16214 Glen Oaks Road, also indicated his support for the proposed. G en
Oaks Road cul-de-sac. However, he noted that the developer is proposing to purchase
and remove an existing single family home in order to construct the cul-de-sac. Mr. Near
questioned what will happen to an existing fence located on the lot with the house to be
removed. He asked that a fence, additional berming and landscaping, or some type of
screening be installed to screen his home from commercial traffic and noise.
Mr. Kohler indicated that they had not intended to remove the existing fence unless
necessary where the trail connects to the intersection. Also, additional berming and
landscaping proposed forthis area will aid in screening the residential neighborhood .from
the commercial site. The proposed landscaping will also serve to block headlights onto
162nd Street. Existing trees on the single family lot will be preserved to the extent possible
except where the trail will be installed to direct the proposed pedestrian and bike trail to
the signaled intersection at Cedar and 1601h Street.
Mr. Morey stated that the existing fence located on the lot with .the house to be removed
must be removed by the developer because it would be located within the right-of-way
• proposed for 162nd Street and Cedar Avenue with the 160 Cedar Addition final plat.
H:IFILESIWORDIPLANCOMIMINUTES1April13-OO.doc
Planning Commission Meeting
April 13, 2000
Page 8
Jeff Koslowski, 16249 .Glen Oaks Court, concurred that with the removal of the existing
single family home and the cul-de-sac there will be more headlights onto the residential
neighborhood, especially the. homes located on the south side of 162"d Street. He also
noted that at the neighborhood meeting, the developer agreed to provide a sign to identify
the neighborhood as a residential community that would deter through traffic from the
commercial development.
Mr. Kohler responded that the proposed berm and. plantings will provide significant
screening to the residential area.
Liana Cohan, 16350 Glen Oaks Road, requested clarification on the proposed design of
162" Street. Ms. Cohan agreed that the narrowing. of 162"d Street to a 28-foot. wide
pavement width will provide a visual separation between the. commercial and residential
streets and will discourage commercial traffic from driving into the Cedarglen
neighborhood, but she questioned whether there will still bean increase of traffic on
Godson Drive.
Steve Plaszcz, 16219 Godson Circle, indicated that several homes in his neighborhood
have experienced flooding, including water in basements. He questioned whether the
developer or City staff have addressed the issue of the high water table in this area.
• Tim Hanson,. Assistant City Engineer, responded that the City is aware of the high water
table and the past flooding events that this neighborhood has experienced. Mr. Hanson
stated that because of the history of water problems in this area and throughout the City,.
construction standards have been established that require the installation of draintile and
other flood control devices when specific water conditions exist. Mr. Hanson noted that
the final grading and drainage plan consists of four stormwater holding ponds located
between 160th Street and the proposed private access road. There will be no drainage
from this area into the existing residential neighborhood.
There were no further comments from the public.

City Administrator Robert Erickson responded to concerns raised. by the residents related
to the proposed development of the subject property, indicating that several excellent
suggestions. had been made at the neighborhood meeting which had been addressed by
the developers and included. in their revised site plan.. However,. the developer may have
overlooked the request of the residents that some type of monument sign be installed as
you. enter the residential neighborhood on 162"d Street indicating that this is a residential
area. Staff will further explore this option in more detail
Mr. Erickson noted that Semper Development has responded to resident concerns by
incorporating many changes from their original submittal. into their final plan. Mr. Erickson
H:\FILESIWORDIPLANCONIIMINUTES1April13-OO.doc

Page 9
noted that a market study has been completed by the developer and. they feel there is a
good market for a Walgreen's in this area, even though another Walgreen's is located less
than a mile to the north in the City of Apple Valley. However, Mr. Erickson noted that the
proposed building design of the Walgreen's for the 160 Cedar Addition development is
unique in that it utilizes many of the City's Gateway and Corridor Study designs.
Mr. Erickson indicated that no specific uses have been identified for the commercial
outlots included in the 160 Cedar Addition plat. City staff and the area residents will have
an opportunity to review proposed uses in the future because a preliminary plat for the
outlots. will be required when development is proposed. Further, commercial uses are
listed in the Zoning Ordinance for the B-4 District.
The Planning Commission discussed many aspects of the proposed 160 Cedar Addition
plat and Walgreen's development including:
1) the need for a variance from Dakota County for access spacing onto 160t" Street;
2) details of the market study supporting the location of a Walgreen's drugstore on this
site;
3) right-of-way/easement discrepancies shown on the preliminary and final. plats;.
4) responsibility for the maintenance of the. proposed gateway monument sign;
5) installation of a "no outlet" sign at the intersection of 162"d Street and Glen Oaks Road
and Glen Oaks Road and Godson Drive;
6} whether to construct a new fence or install a berm and additional landscaping to
screen the existing houses from the proposed Glen Oaks Road cul-de-sac;
7) the relocated accesses to the SuperAmerica station and the City liquor store; and
8) striping of 161St Street to delineate traffic flow between the liquor store and the future
Walgreen's site.
Staff responded that these items will be addressed with the project development.
The Planning Commission agreed to add the following stipulations for approval of the
Semper Development, Inc. applications:
Stipulation No. 11: "The plans shall be revised to include a landscaped berm east of the
.Glen Oaks Road cul-de-sac on Lot 1, Block 1, Cedar Glen, a fence on
the north side of Lot 2, Block 1, Cedar Glen and landscaping on the
south side of 162"d Street west of the Glen Oaks Road cul-de-sac."
Stipulation No. 12: "The plans shall be revised to reflect the property boundary lines
identified on the final plat."

ITEM 1 O. ZONING ORDINANCE AND ZONING MAP AMENDMENT STATUS UPDATE
Associate Planner Ron Mullenbach noted that the City mailed out A Citizen's Guide to the
Comprehensive Plan to all Lakeville residents, property owners, and residential and
commercial developers. This document provided information on the City's update of its
Comprehensive Plan approved by the Metropolitan Council in 1999. The document also
invited residents and property owners to participate in the Zoning Ordinance and Zoning
Map update process.

Zoning Map update at two neighborhood meetings and two presentations to residential
.and commercial/industrial developers on March 28t" and 30t"..Approximately 26

residential developers, 11 commercial developers, and nearly 100 residents attended
these four meetings. At each of the meetings, David Licht of Northwest Associate
Consultants presented the draft zoning. ordinance and responded to questions from the
audience. All participants were invited to submit written comments by April 7, 2000 to
allow staff and the consultants ample opportunity to review and respond to each written.
comment. To this date, staff has received 30 letters, e-mails, and faxes providing
comments to the draft Zoning Ordinance and Zoning Map.
Chair Drotning noted that the Planning Commission was pleased with the feedback on the
Citizen's Guide to the Comprehensive Plan and the attendance at the four neighborhood
meetings. He further stated that the temporary moratorium. on new residential plats
adopted. by the City Council on September 7, 1999 establishes an expiration date of May
18, 2000, to coincide with the adoption of new zoning and subdivision ordinances. Chair
Drotning expressed support for an extension of the moratorium and asked if a 60-day
extension would be adequate. for review of the comments submitted. on the draft Zoning
Ordinance/map.
Acting Community and Economic Development Director Daryl Morey indicated that initially
City staff had determined that a residential plat moratorium, scheduled to expire on May
18, 2000, would provide enough time to approve and adopt an Update to the Zoning
Ordinance and Zoning Map that would be consistent with the Comprehensive Land Use
. Plan. Mr. Morey stated that the 60-day extension suggested by Chair Drotning would
provide the time necessary to appropriately address the 30 written comments received by
staff.
City Administrator Robert Erickson pointed out that several developers requested specific
zoning changes that are inconsistenf with the approved Comprehensive Land Use Plan.
t_akeville's new Comprehensive Plan represents a collaborative effort by residents,
property owners, advisory committee members and the City Council to guide future growth
and development in the City. which spanned an 18 month period and 22 neighborhood
meetings. Consistent with our efforts throughout the Zoning Ordinance update process,
staff believes that each zoning request deserves a thorough review and response. Mr.
Erickson went onto say that there were many excellent points raised by property owners,
developers, and business owners on the Zoning Ordinance text that warrant. a detailed
analysis and that there would be an insufficient amount of time for the Planning
Commission to complete the task prior to the May 18 expiration of the residential plan
moratorium.
Commissioner Rieb stated that rushing adoption of the new Zoning Ordinance to meet an
artificial timeline did not make sense. She felt that more time would be necessary to
complete the update. Chair Drotning and the Planning Commission indicated their
agreement to recommend a 60-day extension of the residential plat moratorium to allow
staff and NAC time to review written comments and determine whether they should be
incorporated into the Zoning Ordinance Update.
