ITEM 6. PUBLIC HEARING: Duane Marek (Northland Collision): Conditional Use Permit
Chair Drotning opened the public hearing for consideration of the application of Duane
Marek for a Conditional Use Permit to allow the establishment of a major auto repair
facility in the B-4, General Business District. Assistant City. Attorney Poehler attested
that the legal notice had been duly mailed and published as required by state statute.
Associate Planner Frank Dempsey presented an overview of the request from Mr.
Duane Marek for a conditional use permit for the establishment of a major auto repair
business to be known as Northland Collision at 743D - 160t" Street West, legally
described as Lot 2, Block 1, Dakota Plaza (south of County Road 46 and west of
Glacier Avenue). The 1.16-acre site is zoned B-4, General Business District and the
proposed auto repair use is allowed subject to the approval of a conditional use permit.
Associate Planner Dempsey reviewed the details of the development plan that
proposes a remodeling of the existing self-service car wash building, construction of an
addition. onto the existing car wash building, removal of the miniature golf site, and
expansion and .improvement of the existing parking lot and drive area. Other elements
of the proposal discussed included the following:
? Landscape Plan: includes the planting of shade trees, ornamental trees, and
various shrubs and ground cover. The landscape plan meets the requirements of
the Zoning Ordinance.
? Hours of Operation: 7:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. which is consistent with Zoning
Ordinance standards.
? Trash Storage Area: Located in the southwest corner of the property and proposed
to be screened with a masonry enclosure to match the principal structure.
? Building Materials: the existing building and proposed addition will be of masonry
construction which is consistent with other nearby commercial buildings and will
improve and compliment the aesthetic image of the area. The building materials
and construction are in compliance with Section 11-8-4 Zoning Ordinance
requirements.
Dempsey indicated that Mr. Marek is proposing to construct a 26-foot wide driveway
from Glacier Avenue which will serve as access to the site. A former driveway access
extended north onto County Road 46 and was centered on the common lot line
between Lots 1 and 2 and was a shared access between the mini-golf/car wash site
and the Dakota Plaza strip center located to the west of the Marek site. The
development plan proposes to construct a continuous curb along Mr. Marek's west
property line to prevent traffic to and from the strip center from crossing the Marek
property. The proposed curb will reduce the existing access aisle from the retail strip
center parking area to the alley behind the retail strip center's building to ten feet along
• a 35-foot section of driveway. Planning staff is recommending that Mr. Marek and
owner of the strip center resolve the access issue prior to City Council consideration of
the Conditional Use Permit.

Commissioner Wulff expressed her opinion that the circulation issue on the Dakota
Plaza retail strip center should not impact Mr. Marek's proposal to redevelop the car
wash/mini-golf site. Since there was no recorded private access easement for the two
properties, Mr. Marek should be allowed to install curbing or landscaping up to his
property line. Ms. Wulff stated the retail center owner should resolve his circulation
issues independent of the proposed redevelopment project submitted by Mr. Marek.
Commissioner Moates requested clarification as to how Mr. Marek intends to store cars
that. have been wrecked and are waiting to be repaired. Mr. Marek responded that
most cars can be accommodated inside the nine proposed bay areas. Cars with the ,
least damage are sometimes stored outside for a short period of time, but these cars
are parked in such a manner that the visual impact to the public is minimized.
Commissioner Drotning suggested that the current Zoning Ordinance does not
adequately define "Outside Storage." This should be addressed when the Zoning
Ordinance is updated this year.
There were no comments from the audience.

Dakota. Plaza retail strip center property.
The Planning Commission also agreed to amend Stipulation No. 3 to include: "The
Landscape Plan shall be amended to replace the four deciduous trees along the south
property line and two on the west property line with six-foot tall conifer trees prior to City
Council consideration of the Conditional Use Permit."
99.12 MorioN by Rieb, Second by Wulff to recommend to City Council approval of the
application of Duane Marek for a Conditional Use Permit to allow the establishment of a
major auto repair facility in the B-4, General Business District on property located at

ITEM 7. PUBLIC HEARING: Hammer Property: Shamrock Development, Inc.
Easement Vacation/Rezoning/Preliminary Plat
Chair Drotning opened the public hearing for consideration of the request of Shamrock
Development, Inc. for a preliminary plat, the vacation of permanent easements, and a
rezoning of property. Assistant City Attorney Poehler attested that the legal notice had
been duly mailed and published as required by state statute.
City Planner Daryl Morey presented an overview of the application submitted by
Shamrock Development, Inc. for the preliminary plat of the Hammer property. The
proposed single family residential development consists of 114 single family lots on a
56.22-acre site located in the northeast quadrant of the Dodd Boulevard (CSAH 9) and
210t" Street West intersection. The development of this property for single family
residential requires the vacation of several permanent public easements located within
the subject property boundaries as well as the rezoning of the subject property from R-
2, Single Family Residential District to R-2A, Single Family Residential District.
EASEMENT VACATIONS:
City Planner Morey indicated that several public easements currently located within.
the preliminary plat boundaries are proposed to be vacated. These public
easements, all located within the boundaries of the Hammer property preliminary plat
include the following:
? 20-foot bicycle and pedestrian path easement along north boundary;
? 60-foot drainage and utility easement located on the north side;
? 27-foot right-of-way easement for Dodd Boulevard;
? 50-foot roadway easement for 210t" .Street; and
? 20-foot by 100-foot drainage and utility easement west of the exception property
located in the south central area. of the plat.
All of the above easements will be re-established on the final plat as opposed to
being separate recorded documents. Further, the above easement vacations are
contingent upon the recording of the Hammer property final plat..
REZONING:
City Planner Morey noted that the Hammer property is currently zoned R-2, Single
Family Residential District (100-foot lot width and 15,000 square foot minimum lot
area requirements). Shamrock Development is requesting to rezone the property to
R-2A, Single Family Residential District with 85-foot lot widths and 11,000 square foot
minimum lot area requirements. The. creation of the R-2A District was approved by
City Council at their February 16, 1999 regular meeting. The proposed rezoning is
i consistent with the 1998 Comprehensive Land Use Plan Update which guides the
Hammer property for low and low/medium density residential use. In addition, the
proposed R-2A rezoning is consistent with the recommendations of the 1998
Planning Commission Meeting Minutes
February 18, 1999
.Page 5
Strategic Growth Management Task Force due to the property's lack of steep slopes,
tree cover, and wetlands.
City Planner Morey indicated that the R-2A District rezoning is contingent upon the
recording of the Hammer property final plat.
PRELIMINARY PLAT (HAMMER PROPERTY):
City Planner Morey indicated that Shamrock Development, Inc. is proposing to
develop 114 single family residential lots on 56.22 acres. The Hammer property
preliminary plat is proposed to be developed in one phase. The Hammer property
development proposed lot area and lot dimensions are consistent with the approved
R-2A, Single Family Residential District requirements.
City Planner Morey indicated that the development includes the following three
outlots:
? Outlot A, located along the east side of the proposed plat, abuts the CP Rail tracks
and includes a storm water drainage pond to be deeded by the developer to the
City with the final plat.
? Outlot B, located in the northwest corner of the plat, will be developed for single
• family use when the adjacent exception property develops. Outlot B will be
retained by the developer.
The third outlot encompasses the existing trail located on the north side of the
proposed plat and includes an internal trail connection from the Hammer property
development to the existing trail. This outlot will be deeded to the City with the
Hammer property final plat.
Morey noted that proposed grading, drainage, erosion control, and utilities construction
for the Hammer property has been reviewed by Engineering Department staff, the
Dakota County Soil and Water Conservation District and the Environmental Affairs
Committee and they have all recommended approval.
In addition, Planner Morey indicated that the Parks and Recreation Committee has
recommended a cash contribution to satisfy the park dedication requirements for the
Hammer property preliminary plat.
Community and Economic Development Department staff recommends approval of the
Hammer property preliminary plat subject to the ten stipulations as listed in the
February 12, 1999 Planning Report. Staff also recommends approval of the R-2A
District rezoning and easement vacations contingent upon recording of the Hammer
property final plat.
• Mr. James Stanton, Shamrock Development, Inc., was present and indicated his
agreement to the stipulations for approval recommended by staff.

Tim Hanson, Assistant City Engineer, responded to questions and provided clarification
regarding on-site drainage patterns, existing and future stormwater holding pond
design, and future proposed upgrades and improvements and how they will impact
current stormwater and drainage functions.
Commissioner Comer indicated his concern for the existing high water table of this
property. Staff responded that the Zoning Ordinance requires that the lowest level of a
home be three feet above the highest known groundwater level.
Discussion was held regarding proposed temporary turnarounds and future street
connections on the exception properties. Staff responded and provided additional
information regarding proposed street alignments.
Commissioner Moates questioned the status of the existing CP Rail right-of-way and
the potential for future uses. City Planner Morey indicated that the railroad tracks have
not been abandoned and that CP Rail or a subsequent railroad company could begin
running trains on this line at any time. Staff also indicated that the City Council has
passed a resolution supporting the use of the rail corridor as a regional trail if the tracks
are ever abandoned. In addition, the rail corridor has been identified by MnDOT as a
potential future commuter rail line. Commissioner Moates asked if there would be an
• opportunity for additional screening/berming between the railroad tracks and the
proposed single family development. Staff suggested and the developer agreed to re-
label the railroad right-of-way from "Former Minneapolis Northfield & Southern" to "CP
Rail." Discussion continued.
Chair Drotning opened the hearing for public comment.
Ken Hanson, 20998 Jacquard Avenue, expressed concern for additional traffic on 210t"
Street. Assistant City Engineer Hanson responded that the current design of 210t"
Street is capable of handling the existing traffic volumes and the expected increase in
traffic resulting from the Hammer property development.
Kevin Fowler, 8989 - 210t" Street West, requested details about the existing
stormwater system, current drainage, and timing of upgrades to property north of the
site. Mr. Fowler questioned the ability of the proposed design to control stormwater
efficiently. Assistant City Engineer Hanson responded that the proposed pond on the
Hammer property will accommodate the proposed development and the area
immediately north. In the future, when 207t" Street is reconstructed, additional ponding
may be needed.
George Hammer, 9025 - 210t" Street West, discussed the one access to the bike trait
as proposed on the preliminary plat. Mr. Hammer indicated that the proposed location
• may not be convenient to a majority of the neighborhood. Mr. Hammer also questioned
whether the proposed right-turn lane on 210t" Street would impact his property and
whether the developer is proposing additional berming and landscape .screening of the
proposed development from his property. Staff and the developer responded.

Doreen Machin, 9011 - 210t" Street West, reiterated that traffic on 210t" Street West is
her concern and asked what would be the appropriate process for reducing the speed
limit on this roadway. Ms. Machin indicated her perception that additional residential
development will increase traffic and that safety will be an issue at the current 50 mph
speed limit.
Assistant City Engineer Hanson stated that 210t" Street is not in the City's Five-Year
Capital Improvement Program (CIP) for upgrade/improvement. However, Mr. Hanson
indicated that both Dodd Boulevard and 210t" Street are designed to handle the current
traffic and the additional traffic that would result from the proposed development. Mr.
Hanson further indicated that the construction of right turn lanes from 2101. Street and.
Dodd Boulevard into the proposed Hammer property development will serve to alleviate
potential problems in accessing the property from these two roadways.
Mr.-.Ken Hanson indicated that he had contacted the Police Department and they have
agreed to set up a speed trailer on 210t" Street that would serve to make travelers on
this roadway more aware of the posted seed limit. Mr. Hanson asked staff if there
was a way to prohibit truck traffic on 2101 Street. City Engineer Hanson responded
that restricting truck traffic would be difficult to enforce, however, he indicated most
truck traffic is accommodated on County Road 70.
There were no further comments from the audience.

ITEM 8. PUBLIC HEARING: Airlake Development Third Addition Preliminary Plat (Wausau)
Chair Drotning opened the public hearing for consideration of the application of Appro
Development, Inc. and Airlake Development, Inc. for the preliminary and final plat of
Airlake Development Third Addition. Assistant City Attorney Poehler attested. that the
legal notice had been duly mailed and published as required by state statute.
Associate Planner Frank Dempsey presented an overview of the application from Appro
Development, Inc. and Airlake Development, Inc. for the Airlake Development Third
Addition preliminary and final plat . The proposed industrial subdivision is located south
• of County Road 70 and east of Highview Avenue and consists of one 20-acre lot and
one 28.7-acre outlot. The property is zoned I-2, General Industrial District and the
proposed lot size and lot area exceed the I-2 District minimum standards. Mr.
Dempsey noted the original application for the plat was named Airlake. Development
Fourth Addition. However, the County Surveyor recommended changing the name to
the Third Addition.
Associate Planner Dempsey indicated that proposed lot 1 will be occupied by Wausau
Building Supply. The development of the 20-acre site includes a 144,000 square foot
warehouse building and atwo-story office area on the west side of the building for a
total finished floor area of 147,000 square feet. The plans also identify a 48,000 square
foot future expansion on the east side of the proposed building. The proposed
warehouse use is permitted in the 1-2 District and the proposed building location meets
minimum setback requirements for the district.
Planner Dempsey indicated that the proposed building requires a total of 161 parking
spaces with an additional 44 spaces upon completion of the future warehouse
expansion project. The developer is proposing to construct a total of 81 spaces with
the first phase of development and to defer approximately 50% of the required spaces.
City staff will approve the parking deferment after City Council approval of the
preliminary and final plat.
• Planner Dempsey presented an overview of the outside storage area proposed to be

lot line and a combination of evergreen and deciduous landscape plantings along the
north property line.
Assistant City Engineer Tim Hanson discussed existing and proposed drainage
patterns on and surrounding the subject property. Details are addressed in the
February 12, 1999 Engineering Report.
Community and Economic Development Department staff recommend approval of the
Airlake Development Third Addition preliminary and final plat subject to the
recommendations outlined in the February 12, 1999 Planning Report.
Mr. Jack Matasosky, Appro Development, Inc., requested consideration of the
following:
1. An amendment to Stipulation No. 2 recommended. in the February 12th Planning
Report that the landscaping security be submitted "prior to building permit issuance"
rather than "prior to City Council consideration of the preliminary and final plat."
Staff concurred.
2. Clarification of, or an amendment to, Stipulation No. 6 to indicate the conditions that
must be met before the property owner can relinquish responsibility for the
• maintenance of the sediment and nutrient removal (NURP) pond. Staff indicated
that they are in agreement to add the following wording: "...until turf is established."
3. Clarification as to whether the upgrade of shoulder and ditch along Highview
Avenue is along Lot 1 only or does it include the outlot. Assistant City Engineer Tim
Hanson responded that staff prefers the upgrade along the entire plat boundary
abutting. Highview Avenue. Mr. Hanson indicated that the Progressive Rail Addition
required the shoulder construction along the right-turn lane which left only 200 to
300 feet of shoulder to be constructed. He indicated for safety purposes the
shoulder should be constructed along the entire street.
Mr. Matasosky indicated that the developer is in agreement to the recommended
conditions with the amendments discussed above.
There. were no comments from the audience.

Commissioner Wulff stated her opinion that the landscape screening proposed along
the northerly property line should extend along. the entire property line to the
easternmost boundary. Grant Jacobson, Jacobson Engineering .and Surveying,
indicated that an existing drainage swale is located in the northeast. portion of the site
and that plantings would not be feasible as proposed by Commissioner Wulff. Staff
proposed that additional screening could be achieved along the north and east side of
the drainage swale. The Commission agreed to have staff review the need for
additional screening prior to City Council .approval
99.16 MOTION by Kot, Second by Wulff to recommend to City Council approval of the Airlake

ITEM 9. PUBLIC HEARING: Lakeville Police Department Expansion: Conditional Use Permit
Chain Drotning opened the public hearing for consideration of the application of the City
i of Lakeville for a Conditional Use. Permit Amendment to allow an expansion to the
Lakeville Police Department. Assistant City Attorney Poehler attested that the legal
notice had been duly mailed and published as required by state statute.
Associate Planner Ron Mullenbach presented an overview of the application for an
amendment to Conditional Use Permit No. 93-11 to allow an approximately 1,900
square foot addition onto the existing 15,000 square foot police station located at 20110
Holyoke Avenue. The police department is located on a 3-acre parcel just north of
Lakeville Fire Station #1 in the R-2 Single Family Residential District. The facility was
originally constructed in 1983. A conditional use permit for expansion of the facility was
approved in 1993. The proposed expansion requires an amendment to the 1993
conditional use permit
Associate Planner Mullenbach stated that the expansion is compatible with the
surrounding neighborhood and will meet all required setbacks. The police station
expansion is proposed to be constructed of exterior building materials similar to those
used elsewhere in the municipal campus (i.e. Fire Station #1, City Hall, Dakota County
Heritage Library). Associate Planner Mullenbach also noted that no new outdoor
storage. is proposed with this request.
Mullenbach also indicated that compliance with Stipulation No. 2 and 3 of the
conditional use permit would provide adequate screening of the parking area, trash
• enclosure and transformer. Mullenbach also added that the combination of a lot
remnant with the .fire station parcel has been completed and staff recommends that this
stipulation (No. 4) be deleted from the recommendation.

There were no comments from the audience.
Discussion was held regarding the proposed location and screening of the trash
.enclosure. Commissioner Wulff indicated that it was her opinion that the trash
enclosure should be constructed as a more permanent structure, such as brick, to
match the existing police department building. Staff responded that this may not be
feasible at this time because future expansion of the police department structure may
require relocation of the trash enclosure. Mullenbach noted that staff is recommending
that landscape screening of the proposed new transformer and relocated trash.
enclosure be installed prior to issuance of a certificate of occupancy. Staff believes that
tree plantings and landscape treatment is adequate for screening of the trash enclosure
at this time and could be moved to accommodate future expansion of the facility.
Commissioner Comer asked questions regarding long range plans for the police facility.
Staff responded that the City's Capital Improvements Program addresses the timing
and need for City facilities.
