The City Clerk attested to legal notice publication. Mark. Zaebst, representing LTF Real Estate ..Company, Inc., requested Council approval of the proposed Contract for Private Development for a 111,000 square foot health and fitness club (Life Time Fitness). The facility would be similar to the Life Time Fitness recreation center located in Chanhassen, Minnesota, and would be located on 19.5 acres of property in the northwest corner of 185th Street and Dodd Boulevard. Finance: Director Dennis Feller provided a detailed overview of the Contract for Private Development, which .includes a Business Subsidy Agreement. The contract requires Life Time Fitness to extend water and sanitary sewer lines, at no cost to the City, to serve the potential future police station. The potential police station parcel is approximately eight acres in size located immediately north of the Life Time Fitness property. The City of Lakeville will be responsible for platting the property, paying all development related fees, and construction of a new collector road immediately north of the Life Time Fitness parcel. The City will authorize Life Time Fitness to expand the storm water pond on the Fire Station site. Life Time Fitness will also provide a 15% discount to Lakeville residents off the initiation fees, unlimited daily passes for Lakeville residents, first CITY OF LAKEVILLE COUNCIL MEETING APRIL 17, 2006 i Page 5 priority for memberships over non-residents and no initiation fees for current police officers and firefighters. The 19.5 acres is proposed to be sold to Life Time Fitness for $80,000 per acre plus $90,000 for a total purchase price of $1,650,000. Half of the purchase price, $825,000, will be paid by Life Time Fitness on July 1, 2010, with the remaining balance of $825,000 due and .payable on July 1, 2013. Life Time Fitness will host a neighborhood meeting on April 25, 2006 to discuss the proposed project. Economic Development Director David Olson presented the proposed Business Subsidy Agreement, which is incorporated into the Contract for Private Development, Article VI. Because of the deferred payment by Life Time Fitness, State Statutes require approval of a Business Subsidy. The public purpose of the Business Subsidy is to provide a better quality of Fife by providing a needed health and fitness center in the community, to create new jobs in the city, and to enhance the tax base.. In order to meet those goals, Life Tirne Fitness agrees to create 49 new full-time jobs within the first 24 months after the facility is completed. If the employment goals are not achieved, the payment is accelerated, and Life Time Fitness will pay the purchase price plus interest set at the implicit price deflator. The Economic Development Commission reviewed the Business Subsidy Agreement and unanimously recommended approval There were no questions or comments from Council members or members of the audience. 06.25 Motion was made and seconded to close the public hearing.. Roll call was taken on the motion. Ayes, unanimous. 06.26 Motion was made and seconded to approve the Contract. for Private Development, including Business .Subsidy Agreement, with LTF Real Estate Company, Inc. (Life Time Fitness). Roll call was taken on the motion. Ayes, unanimous. Item 10 Bob Weigert of Paramount Engineering requested Council approval of the preliminary plat of Crescent Ridge Second Addition, located north of 195th Street, west of Holyoke Avenue and south of 190th Street. He indicated that this development includes the reconstruction and realignment of Holyoke Avenue to the east and a realigned intersection with 190th Street. CITY OF LAKEVILLE COUNCIL MEETING APRIL 17, 2006 Page 6 Associate Planner Allyn Kuennen presented the preliminary plat of Crescent Ridge Second Addition, which proposes the development of approximately 75 acres of property into 75 single-family lots and six outlots. The preliminary plat requires a Comprehensive Plan amendment to bring the northeast corner of the subject property into the current MUSA and re-guide the northeast corner of the property from rural to low density residential. The Comprehensive Plan amendment and an ordinance rezoning the northeast corner of the subject property from R-A to RS-3 will be processed with the final plat. The Planning Commission held a public hearing and unanimously recommended approval of the preliminary plat. Since the Planning Commission meeting, a petition was submitted to the Cit~r from residents along existing 195t" Street requesting that existing 195" Street not be renamed. Staff contacted Dakota County, who concurred that 195t" Street could remain named 195t" Street, including the cul-de-sac, and the east/west collector street can actually be renamed 194t" Street. This is possible because there are no residential lots facing 195t" Street in the Donnelly Farm subdivision, which is located immediately to the west. Also since the. Planning Commission meeting, a letter was submitted from two property. owners requesting the developer install a temporary paved turn around at the east end of existing 195t" Street within the plat in order to keep people from turning around on their properties. Mr. Kuennen stated the final plat will show a temporary cul-de-sac within the plat until such time as the. street is extended to the east in the future. This design satisfies the concerns of the residents. Staff recommends approval of the preliminary plat of Crescent Ridge Second Addition. Council Member Wulff asked staff to contact the owner of Lot 1 to assure that this property owner is aware of the proposed cul-de-sac. Mr. Kuennen stated they would contact the property owner. 06.27 Motion was made and seconded to approve the preliminary plat of Crescent Ridge Second Addition. Roll call was taken on the motion. Ayes, unanimous. Item 11 Environmental Resources Manager McKenzie Lafferty presented the . 2005 Environmental Resources Annual Report. The annual report, he stated, fulfills the requirements of the Minnesota Pollution Control CITY OF LAKEVILLE COUNCIL MEETING APRIL 17, 2006 Page 7 Agency's storm water pollution prevention plan (SWPPP) and the Minnesota Department of Health's Wellhead Protection Program. Some of the major accomplishments of 2005 included 18 active Adopt-a-Pond sites, storm drain stenciling, Citizen Assisted Lake Monitoring Program, Wetland Health Evaluation Project (WHEP), School of Environmental Studies Lake Profile Project, Vermillion River Watch and Vermillion Watershed Clean-up (Friends of the Mississippi). Steve McComas of Blue Water Science presented the results of lake water projects conducted on Valley Lake, Lee Lake, Lake Marion and Orchard Lake and the different techniques .that have been used to improve water quality in Lakeville. He explained that the use of both passive and active management programs has produced significant gains in protecting and enhancing water quality in Lakeville lakes. The proposed 2006 program continues to build on past successes and implement new ideas. Mayon Johnson asked if there are herbicides that are effective on curly leaf pondweed. Mr. McComas stated there are; however, they do not provide long term control and are not as effective as harvesting. Mr. Mielke asked if predator fish could be added to help reduce bluegills and bullheads. Mr. McComas explained that they first need to reduce the number of bluegills and bullheads before adding predator fish. They will work with the DNR in this effort. Council Member Wulff urged Blue Water Science to continue to work on lake water quality while urging the DNR to stock the predator fish. 06.28 Motion was made and seconded to receive the Environmental Resources 2005 Annual Report and approve an Agreement for Engineering Services with Blue Water Science for 2006 lake projects and an Agreement with J & N Weed Harvesting for Orchard Lake curly leaf harvesting. Roll call was taken on the motion. Ayes, unanimous.
