Roll call was taken on the motion. Ayes, unanimous. Item 7 -Kenrick Corner Mr. Mark R. Zweber requested Council approval of the preliminary and final plat of Kenrick Corner, which consists of two commercial lots and two outlots on five acres located north of 205th Street and east of Kenrick Avenue. The development is proposed to include a full service restaurant on Lot 1 and a bank with drive-thru service and a dental office on Lot 2. Planning. Director Daryl Morey presented the planning report for Kenrick Corner. He explained that Outlot A will remain under the ownership of the CITY OF LAKEVILLE COUNCIL MEETING MARCH 19, 2007 Page 4 developer for future commercial development but will include the construction of a landscaped berm over the north property line in cooperation with the Springbrook townhome homeowners association. The future commercial development of Outlot A will require a separate preliminary and final plat. Outlot B will include the expansion of the existing storm water basin near the southeast corner of the site and will be deeded to the City with the final plat. The Planning Commission held a public hearing and unanimously recommended approval of the Kenrick Corner preliminary and final plat subject to 16 stipulations. The developer has submitted revised plans and a shared parking and cross access agreement addressing the stipulations recommended by the Planning Commission and staff. Staff recommends approval as presented. 07.21. Motion was made and seconded to approve Resolution No. 07-48 approving the preliminary and final plat of Kenrick Corner. Roll call was taken on the motion. Ayes, unanimous. Item 8 -Thomas Meadows On behalf of the developer, Grant Jacobson, Jacobson Engineers 8~ Surveyors, requested Council approval of the preliminary and final plat of Thomas Meadows. Mr. Morey. presented the planning report for Thomas Meadows, which consists of five single-family lots and one outlot located south of 175t" Street and east of Jaguar Avenue. The property is_currently zoned RS-2, Single Family Residential District, with a request to rezone the property to RS-3, Single Family Residential District, which is consistent with the surrounding neighborhoods. Mr. Morey explained that the rezoning allows an additional lot to be platted due to the lot width requirements of the RS- 3 District. The developer is required to add buffer yard berms and plantings along 175t" Street, which most of the other single family lots in the area do not have because they were platted before the buffer yard standards were established. There is also an existing easement for l 75t" Street that must be vacated in order to plat the permanent right of way. ThePlanning Commission held a public hearing and unanimously recommended approval of the preliminary and final plat, rezoning and CITY OF LAKEVILLE COUNCIL MEETING MARCH 19, 2007 Page 5 easement vacation subject to 12 stipulations, with an additional stipulation designating "no parking" on one side of Jacobite Court. Mr. Morey explained that designation. of a "no parking" zone on the east side of Jacobite Court is being recommended because Jacobite Court will be constructed as a 28-foot wide street within a 50-foot wide right-of-way, ending with a 60-foot radius cul-de-sac right-of-way. Mr. Morey stated that the Planning Commission expressed their. displeasure with the developer for not hosting a neighborhood meeting for this infill development as requested by staff and for cutting down trees prior to submitting a subdivision application, which would have triggered the City's tree preservation requirements. Council Member Luick questioned the reason for the narrower width of the proposed cul-de-sac street. Mr. Morey explained that the developer requested the narrower street width due to the shallow depth of the property and the adjacent wetland to the south. He pointed out, however, that the lot sizes would not be adversely impacted if the street width is increased. Widening the street would eliminate the need for the "no parking" resolution. Council Member Wulff stated she shares those concerns and feels there would not be ample parking for the homes in this subdivision if parking is restricted on one side of the street. City Engineer Keith Nelson stated he didn't feel a 60-foot right of way would affect the lot setbacks or the subdivision design. Council Member Luick stated he would prefer the standard 32 foot street width and 60 foot right of way. Mr. Morey stated a standard right of way and street width would eliminate the need to restrict parking on Jacobite Court. 07.22 Motion was made and seconded to receive the Planning Commission's Findings of Fact and Recommendation and adopt Ordinance No. 821 rezoning property to RS-3, Single Family Residential District; approve Resolution No. 07-49 approving the preliminary .and final plat of Thomas Meadows subject to the preliminary and final plat plans being revised to include a 32 foot street width and 60 foot right-of-way for Jacobite Covrt, CITY OF LAKEVILLE COUNCIL MEETING MARCH 19, 2007 Page 6 thus eliminating the need to adopt the "No Parking" resolution; and approve Resolution No. 07-50 vacating a roadway, drainage and utility easement. Roll call was taken on the motion. Ayes, unanimous. Item 9 -City Code Amendments Assistant to City Administrator Brian. Anderson presented proposed. ordinance amendments pertaining to maintenance of property, exterior storage of motor vehicles, trailers, boats, snowmobiles and seasonal service vehicles, and the maximum length of weeds and grass. He indicated that residents who desire to speak on the proposed .amendments are encouraged to attend the public hearing on April 16th. 07.23 Motion was made and seconded to hold a public hearing at the April 16, 2007 City Council meeting to consider amendments to Titles 4, 6 and 9 of the Lakeville City .Code.
