The facility has been designed by Wold Architects in conjunction with an eight-member advisory board. He stated- that a space needs study was prepared and the decision was made to construct a new police station on the subject site to meet the long range needs of the Police Department-and the community. Planning Director Daryl Morey stated that the subject site is currently zoned RS-2, Single Family Residential District, and government buildings are allowed by conditional use permit. However, staff and the Planning Commission feel that re zoning the property to P-OS, Public-Open Space District, is appropriate because the police. station is a permitted use in the P-OS District. The Plannin Commission held a ublic hearin on March 15, 2007 and g p g unanimously recommended approval of the rezoning, subject to five CITY OF LAKEVILLE COUNCIL MEETING APRIL 2, 2007 • Page 4 stipulations listed in the planning and engineering reports.

No. 822 rezoning property to P-OS, Public-Open Space District. Roll call was taken on the .motion. Ayes, unanimous. Item 9 -Stoneridge Stoneridge Meadows, LLC developer Mike Kampmeyer introduced the preliminary plat of Stoneridge, which includes 50 single-family residential lots on approximately 39.67 acres located northeast and southwest of Kenvvood Trail (CSAH 50) between l 88th Street and Jordan Trail. Mr. Kampmeyer is requesting to rezone the property from RS-2 to RS-3 to be more consistent with the zoning of the properties adjacent to the Stoneridge preliminary plat. Planning Director Daryl Morey stated that the Stoneridge preliminary plat is bisected by Kenvvood Trail (CSAH 50) and described access spacing challenges. which are. being faced by the developer. Additional property was purchased on the northern-most boundary by the developer in order to align an intersection at 188th Street and meet quarter-mile spacing requirements by the Dakota County Plat Commission. A second full access would be allovved by the County's access spacing guidelines at ..the southern-most boundary across from Jordan Trail; however, the construction of this street access would require cooperation from the adjoining property owner to the east. Dakota County is requiring that a median and left turn lanes be installed by the developer on Kenwood Trail between 188th Street and Jordan Trail due. to the proposed one-eighth mile street access proposed with the preliminary plat. If the preliminary -plat is .phased or revised such that construction of the one-eighth mile street connection is delayed or eliminated, construction of the median and turn lanes on CSAH 50 could be avoided. The Planning Commission held a public hearing at their March 15, 2007 meeting and recommended approval of the Stoneridge preliminary plat • on a 4 to 1 vote, subject to 12 stipulations. There was no public comment. The preliminary plat was. unanimously approved by the Parks, Recreation CITY OF LAKEVILLE COUNCIL MEETING APRIL 2, 2007 • Page 5 and Natural Resources Committee.
