Roll call of members: Present: Chair Davis Vice Chair Lillehei Commissioner Boerschel Commissioner Drotning Absent: Secretary Adler Commissioner Grenz Commissioner Maguire Ex- officio Fitzhenry Staff Present: Daryl Morey, Planning Director; Daniel Licht, The Planning Company; and Judi Hawkins, Recording Secretary. ITEM 3. APPROVAL OF MEETING MINUTES. The July 7, 2011 Planning Commission meeting minutes were approved as presented. ITEM 4. ANNOUNCEMENTS: Mr. Morey stated that the following items were distributed to the Planning Commission at tonight's meeting: 1. Draft of the July 20, 2011 Parks, Recreation and Natural Resources motion for the Spirit of Brandt en Farm 7th Addition preliminary and final plat. 2. Plan revision showing an 80 foot right of way width for Diamond Path as part of the Spirit of Brandtjen Farm 7th Addition. ITEM 5. SPIRIT OF BRANDTJEN FARM 7TH ADDITION Chair Davis opened the Public Hearing to consider the application of SBF Development Corporation for the preliminary plat and development stage Planned Unit Development of 59 single family residential lots to be known as Spirit of Brandtjen Farm 7th Addition, located north of 170th Street and east of Eagleview Drive, and to consider the final plat of 34 single family lots to be known as Spirit of Planning Commission Meeting July 21, 2011 Page 2 Brandtjen Farm 7 11, Addition. The Recording Secretary attested that the legal notice has been duly published in accordance with State Statutes and City Code. Jacob Fick representing Tradition Development presented a brief overview of the changes that have been made since the original preliminary plat (Spirit of Brandtjen Farm 4th Addition) was reviewed by the Planning Commission in 2009. The major change is the shift in the right -of -way for Diamond Path. Tradition Development is requesting that the Diamond Path right -of -way be shifted 70 feet to the east, which would allow the addition of four lots to the Spirit of Brandtjen Farm 7th Addition plat. Diamond Path will be built at a future date because the need for this street is not yet warranted by Dakota County. At that time additional property could be dedicated by Empire Township for the remaining right -of -way required by Dakota County. Consultant Daniel Licht of The Planning Company presented the planning report on the application of SBF Development to replat 80 acres in the southeast corner of the development. This portion of the project had originally been approved in 2009 as Spirit of Brandgen Farm 4f Addition. SBF is bringing this plat forward for the purpose of making adjustments to the location of the right -of -way for the future Diamond Path. With the original SBF 4 Addition preliminary plat the developer proposed to dedicate 120 feet of right -of -way within the City of Lakeville plus an additional 25 -foot wide outlot so that the entire roadway and right -of -way would have been entirely within the City of Lakeville. The developer has discussed with Lakeville and Dakota County staff the possible shifting of the right -of -way 70 feet to the east such that the 120 feet of right -of -way required by Dakota County would overlay the adjoining boundaries of Lakeville and Empire Township to make the location of the roadway more balanced. The Spirit of Brandgen Farm 7tII Addition plans propose single family cottage lots consistent with the Spirit of Brandtjen Farm 4th Addition preliminary plat plans. Mr. Licht stated that the preliminary and final plat were reviewed and discussed at the July 18, 2011 Dakota County Plat Commission meeting and an 80 foot right -of- way width for Diamond Path was agreed to by the developer, City staff and the Plat Commission. The 80 foot right -of -way width will accommodate a future three lane street section and an eight foot trail on the west side of Diamond Path. Additional right -of -way would be required in Empire Township for a trail on the east side and boulevard snow storage. Planning Department staff recommends approval of the revised preliminary plat with the 80 -foot right -of -way dedication for Diamond Path and the Spirit of Brandtjen Farm 7th Addition final plat of 34 single family lots and two outlots subject to the seven stipulations listed in the July 14, 2011 planning report. Chair Davis opened the hearing to the public for comment. Planning Commission Meeting July 21, 2011 Page 3 There were no comments from the audience. 11.43 Motion was made and seconded to close the public hearing at 6:11 p.m. Ayes: Lillehei, Davis, Boerschel, Drotning. Chair Davis asked for comments from the Planning Commission. • Commission member Boerschel asked whether Diamond Path is a City or County road and asked if any issues are created by the road being split between two jurisdictions. Planning Director Morey stated it is identified as a future County road. The roadway surface will be entirely within the City of Lakeville and a possible trail on the east side will be in Empire Township. • Chair Davis asked about the need for Diamond Path being constructed at this time. The developer stated that adequate internal accesses exist for this plat and current traffic counts do not warrant construction of the road at this time. • Commission member Lillehei asked about the surface of the driveway within the Diamond Path right -of -way and if residents would be driving on it. Mr. Fick stated that this driveway will be a graded gravel surface but it will be available for emergency vehicles only and not intended for local traffic. Screening will be installed at the rear lot lines of the homes abutting Diamond Path, and the future roadway will be disclosed to prospective buyers. Commissioner Lillehei asked if the trail would be built at this time. Mr. Fick stated that the trail would be built in conjunction with construction of the roadway. 11.44 Motion was made and seconded to recommend to City Council approval of the Spirit of Brandgen Farm 7th Addition preliminary plat of 59 single family residential lots and the final plat of 34 single family lots, to be known as Spirit of Brandgen Farm 7th Addition, located north of 170th Street and east of Eagleview Drive, subject to the following seven stipulations: 1. The developer shall provide for year- around maintenance of the secondary access road to 170tII Street for emergency vehicle access. 2. The developer has a $331,857.22 park dedication credit carried over from the SBF 6f Addition final plat.
