Steve McComas from Blue Water Science works with City staff to protect and enhance the water
quality in Lakeville. He reported about each of the lakes:
Lee — Lakes have to meet certain standards set forth by the DNR. Lee Lake is considered impaired,
but after many years of improvements, the lake meets criteria to be off of the impaired list, but it
takes a very long time to be removed from the list. Fish removal has been done in the past as well as
experimenting with iron particles to control Curlyleaf Pondweed.
Marion — Watching the condition of plants. Curlyleaf Pondweed and Eurasian Milfoil are under
control. Shoreland conditions are ok, but could be better.
Valley — Still using barley straw to reduce algae and working on increasing native plants.
Orchard — Controlling Curlyleaf Pondweed using harvesting and herbicides. May experiment on
aerating the water in the inlet before it gets into the lake.
East — No native plants in the lake and phosphorous levels are high. Staff has been working with the
Vermillion River Watershed to improve water quality.
Swan asked what the purpose of barley straw is. It is an organic carbon source that decomposes and
reduces phosphorous which inhibits algae growth. Zell inquired about Goose Lake, to which staff
replied is not monitored.
There were no public comments.

ITEM 6 Minneapolis Meeting Rooms First Addition preliminary and final plat
Minneapolis Meeting Rooms submitted a preliminary and final plat for the purpose of constructing a
church facility. The church will consist of one lot on approximately 2.9 acres and associated parking
areas. An additional outlot will be used for future development to construct up to three single-family
homes. After review of the Parks, Trails and Open Space System Plan, there are no public park areas
planned in this area.
(11.14) Motion made by Kelly, seconded by Zell to recommend City Council consider approval
of Minneapolis Meeting Rooms First Addition preliminary and final plat and require the development to
pay one residential lot park dedication fee of $4,747. A future 10 -foot wide trail is proposed along the
west side of Dodd Boulevard. A cash escrow for the future trail construction shall be paid at the time
of final plat. The developer will be responsible for 5/8ths the estimated trail construction costs
calculated as follows: $4,380 x 5/8 x 34,390 s.f./72,086 s.f. = $1,305.98. The developer will also be
100% responsible for rough grading and restoration of the trail area. The remainder of the cash fee
for the future trail construction shall be paid at the time of final plat approval when Outlot B develops
and based on a cost estimate provided by the developer at that time.
Finally, the developer is required to follow other recommendations outlined in the Planning and
Engineering reports as they pertain to this plat. The developer is also required to follow the natural
resources requirement detailed in the Planning and Engineering reports associated with tree
preservation, grading, drainage, and erosion control and further recommendations by the Dakota
County Soil and Water Conservation District, if applicable.
