[1:02] Chair Zimmer: Good evening. I call the December 18th, 2025 planning commission meeting to order. Ask you to uh rise and give say with the pledge of allegiance with us. [1:30] Miss Ericen: Thank you. Miss Ericen, will you please take the role? Tinsley? Here. Travis? Here. Kuza? Here. Zimmer? Here. Ike? Here. Swany? Here. Swanson? Here. [1:30] Chair Zimmer: Thank you very much. Next on the item, next item on the agenda is the approval of December 4th planning commission meeting minutes. And if we have any corrections and if not, we'll let those stand. Very good. Um, do we have any announcements, Miss Jensen? [1:58] Miss Jensen: Thank you, Chair Zimmer. Uh, yes, we have two handouts before you. One is an added stipulation to the recommendation for the caliber collision uh conditional use permit and the other is a revised landscape plan for the Vidian Credit Union conditional use permit and I will uh address both of those with my presentations. [2:21] Chair Zimmer: Excellent. Thank you so much. We have a number of public hearings tonight. If you would like to speak on one of the public hearings, please sign up at the back of the room. Unless you are the presenter, then that's fine. and we've got you on the list already. The first item is to consider the application of Tyler Putra for a preliminary plat of one lot located on the south side of 199th Street along the shores of Lake Marian. Uh and Mr. Putra, would you like to come up and introduce the project for us? Please just speak into the microphone. Give us your name and address. [2:56] Tyler Putra: Yes. Hi, good evening. My name is Tyler Petra. Um, my current address is 211059 It Tammy Trail in Lakeville. Um, I'm here to introduce and represent the request for a preliminary and final plat of land that I own in here in Lakeville. Um, I purchased the land around a year ago. The land has the appearance of kind of one single lot of land. Um, however, the land is actually separated into two separate parcels and each parcel is on its own distinct plat. It's kind of the way things ended up long ago, maybe a hundred years ago, um, when the platting took place. Um, one of the two plat is is very small. It's around .17 acres and the other plat is roughly .3 acres. So, I'm just looking to consolidate the two plats into one through this application of preliminary and final plat. Um, so that's really the request here. [4:07] Chair Zimmer: Thank you so much. We will have staff present and then we'll um open up for any comments. Okay. Thank you, Miss Bod. [4:24] Miss Bod: Good evening, chair, commission members. quest in front of you tonight as the applicant mentioned is on the northshore of Lake Marian south of 199th Street. The property is currently zoned RS3 which is our single family residential district and it is guided for lowdensity residential. So in front of you is the preliminary plot for a property that would be about 43 acres in size. As mentioned, um it is currently two legal nonconforming lots. So, they were both platted in 1909 as part of the Antlers Plat Antlers Park plat. And then in 1941, I don't know why I wasn't around at that time, but the West parcel was replatted and included with the Lenans Lots Antlers Park plat. And so because of the fact that they're in two separate plats, the county doesn't just allow us to consolidate it by an administrative subdivision. They require us to plat the property and go through this process, which is why it's in front of you tonight. Um, when we look at this for zoning, there's um we have our shoreland overlay district and then we have our zoning regulations. We also sent this request to the DNR because it's a plat. They did respond back to us saying that they're in support of the consolidation of the lots. Um and with this there the intent is to build a single family home but the we're not at that stage yet. So any kind of grading or civil plans will be reviewed at the time of the building permit. So we are just kind of looking at the lot consolidation at this point. Um if we look at and compare it to our normal standards right now of our minimum lot size and width requirements. Uh we're looking at the shoreline regulations and the RS3 district regulations and the most restrictive requirements would apply. So in this case, the shoreland overlay minimum lot size of 20,000 square feet would be what would normally be required. In this case, they're coming in at 18,725 square ft. So they're still less than the minimum, but definitely an improvement to what is there currently. And it's the same with the lot width. They're still not meeting the minimum lot width requirement of 85 ft, which is the requirement in the RS3 district. But currently, we have a 50 foot wide lot and a 25 foot wide lot. So putting them together was 75 ft. So it's still a big improvement to what is currently there with the legal non-conforming lots. Um in this case they do not need any variances from lot size or width because of when the lots became lots of record. So we are just kind of making the non-conformities less of a non-conformity which in general is just you know a good practice overall for the shoreland program and for zoning regulations. So staff is recommending approval of the preliminary and final plat with the two stipulations that are listed in your report. And at this time the requests for both the preliminary and final are scheduled for the January 5th city council meeting. So any questions for staff? I'll be sitting here waiting. [7:22] Chair Zimmer: Thank you so much. I just want to take a pause and uh welcome two junior planning commissioners Liam and Addie. um having fun here at planning commission. Uh I would like to open the public hearing um for um anyone that wants to come forward and speak. [7:50] Commissioner: Madam Chair, I move to close the public hearing. [7:50] Commissioner: Second. [7:50] Chair Zimmer: All those in favor signify by saying I. [7:50] Commissioners: I. I. [7:50] Chair Zimmer: Opposed. Public hearing is now closed. Commissioners, do you have any questions for staff or Mr. Putra? [8:06] Commissioner Swanson: Madam Chair, Commissioner, um, we definitely see the these kind of unique, really old platted lots around the lake. Um, you know, I we've had a couple platted in 1911 that you know, what whatever they were thinking back then, uh, um, I needs have changed over the ensuing hundred something years. So, makes a ton of sense. Um, you know, with these unique properties around the lake, just kind of um, helping the the property owner to be able to use their uh, their property in in the way they'd like. So, definitely in support of it. Um just kind of one of the unique things of having a city as old as ours and um you know having those unique lake plats. [9:08] Chair Zimmer: Thank you. Any other comments? Looks like we're ready for a motion. Please, Commissioner Sweeney. [9:08] Commissioner Sweeney: I'd like to make the motion to recommend to city council approval of the uh uh Putra shores preliminary and final plat subject to the two stipulations listed in the planning memo dated December 10th 2025. [9:32] Commissioner: Second. [9:32] Chair Zimmer: We have a motion and a second. Miss Ericson, will you please take the role? [9:32] Miss Ericen: Travis? I. Zimmer? I. Ike? I. Sweeney? I. Swanson? I. Tinsley? I. [9:32] Chair Zimmer: There you have it. We appreciate you coming uh forward Mr. Putra and good luck as you combine the two lots in here on this cold and blustery night. Our second um item for uh public hearing is to consider the application of SMNPT1 for a conditional use permit for a commercial building to be less than 2,000 square feet of floor area located in Heritage Commons. And I understand uh John Johansson with Trans Western is going to introduce the project. [10:24] John Johansson: Great. He made it here through the snow. Good evening, chair, commissioners. John Johansson 7601 France Avenue South. Uh we're here tonight to uh request the cup for the second building. This project we've been in front of before. Um it's uh intended to and plan to include a Chipotle and then a seven brew coffee, which is a newer concept that's very popular um doing stores throughout the Midwest and really throughout the country. their store is 800 or 850 square feet which is not uncommon today in some of these um convenience store pickups um that are desired by the the customers. Um otherwise the site plan is generally very close to identical of what it was before when there was a alternative uh coffee based user uh committed to us on the site and has has since decided not to move forward. So there's really very few changes. that's self-contained. Um, and um, I'm certainly available for any questions uh, to any exam. Thank you. [11:41] Chair Zimmer: Great. Thank you so much. We'll have Miss Bod present and then if there's questions, we'll call you back up. [11:41] Miss Bod: Thank you. So, this request may look familiar to you as the applicant just mentioned. So, it's located on the northeast corner of Dodd and 202nd Street, which is also 50. Um, the request is zoned PUB, which is our planned unit development district and guided for commercial. So, the site plan received preliminary plat approval and a conditional use permit for the convenience restaurants with drive-throughs back last summer, so July of 2025. So, before any construction can take place, a final plat would still be required for the site. So, what is in front of you right now is just a conditional use permit to allow a commercial building less than 2,000 square feet. So, it's in that circled area. So, as mentioned, the site plan really hasn't changed too much from what was in front of you last summer, except for this building is now smaller. Um, the main access is off of Heritage Drive. The building does comply with all of our setback requirements. It's a double drive-through lane, so it way exceeds our minimum kind of stacking requirements uh for the drive-thru minimum requirements for that. And it the site overall complies with our o open space requirements. Um grading for the site is an underground infiltration system. A storm water maintenance agreement will be required and then landscaping is located between the county roads and the uh buildings and the drive-through areas. But all of this, all the civil stuff will be reviewed and approved with final plan set at the final plat stage. So um not much has changed though from the preliminary plat. Uh but just wanted to share that information with you. But what we're looking at for the building itself is um mainly all gradea materials. It's a thin brick material that is being used for the site. There it's about 840 square ft the building is total as the applicant mentioned. So, there is no indoor seating for this use. Um, they don't even have a walk up window. They don't promote that. It's mainly just drive-thru focus only. Um, and so we're looking at just the the employees that are inside. Um, I did forget to mention with the site plan, one of the things that we looked at that is different from the original one is just to make sure that parking requirements that they didn't exceed our maximum amount. uh because of the the building being smaller, they don't need as many parking spaces. So, our maximum amount on the property is 48 spaces and I think they're coming in at 47 complying with that requirement as well. They are meeting all of our code requirements. So, staff is recommending approval of the conditional use permit with the 10 stipulations listed in your staff report and with the findings of fact that's also included. uh and some of the stipulations are kind of relating to that final plat approval that would still be required and this is anticipated to go to the city council meeting on January 5th. Thank you. [14:36] Chair Zimmer: Thank you. This is a public hearing as there is anyone um who would like to come forward and speak on this issue, please come on forward. And seeing none, I think we're ready for a motion. [14:36] Commissioner Travis: Move to close the public hearing. [14:36] Commissioner: Second. [15:07] Chair Zimmer: We have a motion, a second. All those in favor of closing the public hearing, please say I. [15:07] Commissioners: I. I. [15:07] Chair Zimmer: Those opposed. Public hearing is now closed. Uh, commissioners, let's go ahead with questions on this issue. [15:23] Commissioner Swanson: Madam Chair, uh, u, this is probably a question for Mr. Johansson, but um I understand we're here because the coffee uh uh outlet has changed, but are we moving ahead with the Chipotle as planned? Uh there any is there any change of plans there? [15:23] John Johansson: No, Chipotle is still committed um at least signed with Chipotle. I think we've done 24 25 Chipotle transactions the last three four years. Um very committed, very interested. Um one thing I I neglected to mention I'd like to mention is there's a condition that snow should not be stored in required parking stalls. We usually build three, four, five extra stalls. In this case, we have 10 stalls beyond what's required. We do push snow into the extra stalls occasionally and but we will always have at least the 37 that are required. We do that so it's easier. You know, it might snow two, three days in a row and we'll put in a pile and then if we have to At the same time, we don't like to put in landscape because when they scrape it up, the landscape dies. So, I don't think there's any conflict there, but that's our typical process. But, we'll always keep at least the required stalls open. [16:34] Chair Zimmer: We're getting the go-ahad from staff on that one behind you that you can't see, so that should work. I I do want to say it's great that your stacking um exceeds our requirements because we've had issues in the past. So, it's wonderful. Thank you so much. [16:50] John Johansson: And I would tell you this, I think all these uh quicks serve restaurants have experienced that and they push each other. Chipotle wouldn't allow us to do seven brew unless they had stacking. So they kind of self police themselves today. They've they've all been burned by it. I agree with you. [17:08] Chair Zimmer: Any other questions? Commissioner. [17:08] Commissioner Swanson: Madam Chair, um so I didn't catch this the first time this came through, but I'm just going to add a question. I know the past history of this site used to have a gas station on it and I know we're doing some underground storm water infiltration and I'm just kind of curious what process or procedure or anything that's happening in terms of making sure there's no pollution or anything that— [17:38] John Johansson: Yeah, it's a very good question and you know um a lot of times the sites that are desirable were desirable long ago when they were gas stations. So it's kind of we're bitten by the the good corner, right? Yep. So uh we're aware of the former gas station use. We did a phase one study which of course showed that up. Uh we immediately went to a phase two um study because the site in 1997 uh the tanks were removed and the MPCA gave a closure letter saying you've complied. They mitigated it was clean to the level it needed to be. In 2017 regulation changed that brought vapor into the equation where it wasn't in 1997. So we did a phase two where we bored and did vapor tests. And like you might expect, every parcel's got elements in it. Um the elements that were related to petroleum are there, but they're well below the standard for mitigation or removal for commercial property. So we got a phase two that in the eyes of the MPCA is acceptable and clean. Um we've also got um assurances from MPCA as to liability that the tanks were removed, there was a closure letter and so on. And obviously our lenders and partners will want that. But you know, it's um yeah, it's not easy. Um we all we all know that if an ex in our excavation, if we find something, we're going to have to call the MPCA and remediate, which occasionally happens. I don't expect it here because the tanks were removed with all the soil backfilled. So, and by the way, the borings for the vapor were placed where the two buildings will be located, which is the risk, you know, with occupants. So, and it it came out below the the in the heightened level that they enacted in 2017. So, but I wish it wasn't there, but it is. [19:08] Chair Zimmer: Madam Chair, please go ahead. [19:08] Commissioner Swanson: So, we've kind of talked about this as a planning commission from time to time, but um all the easy stuff is kind of gone. And so, call this a brownfield type site that we've had formal you or a former use that kind of impacted the landscape a little bit. And so, there's some more hoops to jump through and everything else. And like you said, the lenders and everybody else are making sure that you're dotting the eyes and crossing the tees. And— [19:54] John Johansson: I would share with you also that the MPCA on many sites and I think including this one, one of the best things to happen is to actually pave parts of it and have buildings where you collect water rain and everything runs through collected contained and you know we have underground pipes storage um it's actually preferred on a brownfield site in many cases. [20:16] Chair Zimmer: Thank you. Excellent background and good knowledge for us. Good questions. Commissioner Swinson, any other questions? [20:16] Commissioner Swanson: Madam Chair, I don't have a question, but I just wanted to echo uh Chair Zimmer's comments about stacking. Um you know, I just uh as particularly for um you know, kind of coffee, convenience, restaurants because kind of the victim of inappropriate stacking is not the consumer, it's the business. Because I mean, we've all pulled up to a drive-through coffee place or fast food place, saw the line and went to the next place. So, I'm glad that you guys are thinking about that. Um I I love love the double drive-through lane. It definitely going to be great for this site and excited to see these businesses open and hopefully thrive in Lakeville. [21:05] Chair Zimmer: Agreed. Thank you so much, Mr. Johansson. I think we're ready for a motion. Madam Chair, please go ahead. Mr. Swan, Commissioner Swanson. [21:05] Commissioner Swanson: I move to recommend a city council approval of the conditional use permit for a commercial building to be less than 2,000 square feet of floor area subject to the 10 stipulations listed in the planning memo dated December 8th, 2025 and the findings of fact. [21:34] Commissioner: Second. [21:34] Chair Zimmer: We have a motion and a second. Miss Ericen, will you please take the role? [21:34] Miss Ericen: Kuza? I. Zimmer? I. Ike? I. Sweeney? I. Swenson? I. Tinsley? I. Travis? I. [21:34] Chair Zimmer: Motion prevails and we thank you so much for coming forward and look forward to uh patronizing the Chipotle the coffee shop and whatever else happens there. So thank you so much. Uh the next public hearing we have, moving right along, um agenda item 5C, it's to consider an amendment to the zoning ordinance provision for outdoor storage related to major automobile repair uses in the I1 light industrial district. And Miss Jensen is coming forward. [22:29] Miss Jensen: Uh yes, this is a There we go. Uh, so this is a zoning ordinance amendment to uh 1186 which is our I1 light industrial district. Uh, the major auto repair. This is related to the the item agenda item after this one, caliber collision. Um, major auto repair is a conditional use permit within the I1 district. And last January, uh, we amended the, um, performance standards, for lack of a better term, for the major auto repair to allow outdoor storage under certain circumstances with, um, uh, provisions for for that outdoor storage. So, as we were reviewing the caliber collision uh site plan, we realized that um the language within the ordinance has a uh it had a setback that it needed to meet the building setbacks. Well, the the buildings in the I1 district are required to have a 30-foot rear yard setback. And in looking at the caliber site, um they were having it separated in some trailer parking area that was recently um constructed on the site, which essentially meant almost pushing it out into the drive aisle. Um and so in looking at other areas um you know, we realized that if a building is set 30t off the rear, you can't also have the fence storage area in the back as well because it wouldn't be there, which means we're pushing it out to the sides. and I don't believe that that was our intent. So the first part of the ordinance amendment um and I have the current and proposed language um is to simply add to the fence storage area shall meet or exceed the required setbacks for structures when abudding public rightway or residential zone property. Otherwise, the fence storage area shall have a minimum rear yard setback of 10 ft. So in other words, they're still meeting those building setbacks if it's on a corner side adjacent to public rightway. If there's residential in the area, they're still meeting those same setbacks. But in a case like Calibers where they're up against another industrial property, um they can have that 10- foot setback. We felt that was a reasonable um change to the ordinance. And then the other change that that we are proposing isn't really so much of a change. It's more just kind of a clarification. So the current language says the fence storage area shall be landscaped with a green belt as described in section 11219 required screening and landscaping. If you go to that section, it says that for those commercial industrial institutional areas that are adjacent to residential districts, you have to do this green belt landscaping. So, um, instead of making everyone do the check the reference, um, because a lot of times folks are just kind of quick glancing at it, we're just proposing to add when adjacent to residential zone property. So, there's not really any change. It's just clarifying and making it uh, more easily identified that when there's residential in the area, this green belt will be required. So, those are the two proposed changes that we have for the ordinance. Uh, this is a public hearing and I will stand for any questions you may have. Thank you. [25:39] Chair Zimmer: As our uh fine staff has said, this is a public hearing. If there's anybody that wishes to speak on this issue, please come forward. And once again, seeing none, I think we're um ready for a motion to close. [25:55] Commissioner: Madam Chair, I had a motion to close the public hearing. [25:55] Commissioner: Second. [26:12] Chair Zimmer: We have a motion and a second. All those in favor of closing the public hearing, please say I. [26:12] Commissioners: I. I. [26:12] Chair Zimmer: Opposed. Public hearing is now closed. Does anyone have any questions for top-notch staff work um clarifying our ordinances? Does look like there's any questions? Commissioner Kuza. [26:12] Commissioner Kuza: Madam Chair, I motion to recommend a city council approval of the proposed ordinance amendments to title 11 zoning of the city code for outdoor storage related to major automobile repair uses in the I1 light industrial district. [26:41] Commissioner: Second. [26:41] Chair Zimmer: We have a motion and a second. Miss Ericen, will you please take the role? [26:41] Miss Ericen: Zimmer? I. Ike? I. Sweeney? I. Swanson? I. Tinsley? I. Travis? I. Kuza? I. [26:41] Chair Zimmer: there you go even give you a gavvel ordinance is passed. Thank you so much for that good work. And as Miss Jensen said the next item up uh to consider the application of caliber collision for a conditional use permit to allow a major automobile repair use within an existing building in the I1 light industrial district located at 9583 217th Street. I believe we have Miss Joanie Fernhabber to present the project. [27:32] Joanie Fenhabber: Good evening, Madam Chair and commissioners. Uh my name is Joanie Fenhabber. I am the senior director of project and development services uh for Kushman and Wakefield. I lead our construction team here in Minneapolis. I'm here on behalf of Naveen, our property owner, and Caliber Collision, our tenant, to ask for a conditional use permit to allow a fenced in area under 10,000 square ft. Caliber Collision will be using that to store vehicles that are waiting for parts to arrive from uh from other parts of the country or uh outside of the United States. So, we have got a fenced in area that would house these cars. No work would be happening outside of the facility. All of the repair work would be happening within uh the warehouse area itself. [28:19] Chair Zimmer: Excellent. Thank you. We'll call you back up if we have further questions, Miss Jensen. [29:00] Miss Jensen: All right. Uh this is the caliber collision conditional use permit. This is for the major auto repair use within the I1 district. Uh they are located at the southwest corner of 215th Street and Dodd Boulevard in the what we generally refer to as the outdoor great room building. Um they are the primary tenant here and then Dson Industries is is another tenant in the space. Uh, as you can see, the property is zoned I1, excuse me. And it is generally the the zoning uh for that area. Uh, this is the building in question. This is outdoor great room space here, Doulson. And this is the area in gray is where Caliber Collision is proposing to occupy. They are on the west end of the building. Uh at the rear of the building here is where the proposed fenced uh storage area for vehicles will be. Uh these are trailer parking spaces that were constructed about a year and a half ago. Um they were shown on the original site plan as a as a future um parking for the for the site and then were added um just under two years ago. So that uh outdoor storage area is just under that 10,000 maximum at 9,975 square ft. Uh this is just the fenced area a little bit closer up. Um the stalls were uh for trailer parking. They it appears they will be restriped for uh tandem auto parking. Um so 18 tandem spaces for 36 total. It will be surrounded by a a six- foot tall white solid fence and then there will be two manual sliding gates. You can see those indicated here. Uh that are of the same material. Uh there was a a stipulation and this is one of the one of the items that was distributed to you before the meeting this evening. um in in discussing with our environmental resources staff. Um just to offset any concern, I'm going to sip back to this site plan. It's a little tough to see, but right at the south side of that storage area is the beginnings of the the pond, the drainage area here. And so just to ensure that um there aren't vehicles that may be leaking fluids after a a crash uh something like that, they've requested a a stipulation that says the developer shall maintain either a no exposure certification or a valid industrial storm water general permit as issued by the MPCA. All outdoor storage must comply with the best management practices outlined in MPCA guidance. So I shared this uh language with the with the applicant uh prior to the meeting. Um so that is one addition that we did add to the stipulation. So staff does recommend approval of the caliber collision CUB subject to the now nine stipulations as amended and adoption of the findings of fact dated December 18th 2025. And I will stand for any questions you may have. [31:47] Chair Zimmer: Thank you so much. Uh once again this is a public hearing. If someone would like to speak uh on this issue, please come forward. We're ready for a motion. [32:01] Commissioner: Madam Chair, move to close the public hearing. [32:01] Commissioner: Second. [32:17] Chair Zimmer: We have a motion, a second. All those in favor of closing the public hearing, please say I. [32:17] Commissioners: I. I. [32:17] Chair Zimmer: Any opposed? Public hearing is now closed. Uh would take uh questions from commissioners. Madam Chair, Commissioner Travis. [32:32] Commissioner Travis: Question for uh Miss Jensen. Um would it be safe to assume that these trailer parking spaces were just extra and consuming them doesn't take us below the minimum number of parking spaces that the overall building requires? [32:32] Miss Jensen: Correct. The uh when we look at parking for um industrial facilities, we are just looking at passenger vehicle parking. Um there isn't a minimum number of of trailer spaces. So that's kind of up to each developer um depending upon what uses they're anticipating. So, these trailer spaces were on the original site plan shown as future uh spaces and then um obviously at some point the the property owner chose to to add those spaces and construct those there. So, um yes, they were they're not they're not taking up any mandated truck or trailer parking spaces, which is I believe what you were asking. [33:31] Chair Zimmer: Yes. Thank you. Thank you so much. I would have one question for u Miss Fernhabber because this condition was added and I just wanted to have a opportunity for you and you guys have agreed to the additional stipulation. [33:31] Joanie Fenhabber: Correct. As good student stewards to the environment obviously we want to make sure that we are uh keeping those waters clean. So yes, we are in agreement. [33:54] Chair Zimmer: Excellent. Thank you. Any other questions? I think we're ready for a motion. Chair, Commissioner Swinsson. [33:54] Commissioner Swanson: I move to recommend to city council approval of the conditional use permit to allow major automobile repair in the I1 light industrial district subject to the nine stipulations listed in the planning memo dated December 11th as amended and the findings effect. [34:21] Commissioner: Second. [34:21] Chair Zimmer: We have a motion and a second. Miss Ericen, will you please take the role? [34:21] Miss Ericen: Ike? I. Sweeney? Hi. Swanson? I. Tinsley? I. Travis? I. Kuza? I. Zimmer? I. [34:21] Chair Zimmer: the motion prevails and thank you so much for being here for the presentation. We look forward to the opportunity to use the service. Thank you for expanding in Lakeville. Uh the next agenda item 5E is a uh motion to cons uh consider the application of uh CA commercial development for a conditional use permit for convenience restaurant with drive-through service window located in Heritage Commons. Presenting is Mark Willhoy with CA Commercial Development. [35:09] Mark Willhoy: Mark Willhoy with CA Commercial Development uh 3805 Edwards Road, Cincinnati, Ohio 45209. And we're here before you all tonight to present um our newest inline development with Panera and Lean Shin Heritage Commons PUB. And we're here for a uh conditional use permit needed for the Panera drive-thru. [35:45] Chair Zimmer: Great. Thank you so much. We'll call you back up for further questions. Right, Miss Bod. Welcome back. We haven't seen you for a while. It's been a couple minutes. [35:45] Miss Bod: Thank you, chair, commission members. Uh, this request is for property that's located north of County Road 50, also 202nd Street, south of Heritage Drive. Um, located, let's see, it would be west of Tires Plus. Uh, the property is 1.29 acres in size. It is zoned within the PUD of Heritage Commons and it is guided for commercial development. So, the property is currently an outlot. So, similar as to the one we just talked about a little while ago, this will also need a final plat before any construction can take place on the property. Uh, but what is in front of you tonight is just the conditional use permit to have that convenience restaurant with the drive-thru. Um the property the the building itself in this case is 4750 square feet in size. It's as mentioned it's designed for two convenience restaurant tenants but only one of them has the drive-thru um access to the restaurant. So the main access to the property will be through Heritage Drive. Uh there will be some other internal connections that can be you utilized. Uh the building itself complies with all of our setback requirements and the drive-thru lane meets our minimum stacking length. Um the site complies with our open space requirements of the code. When looking at parking, this is another one that we were looking at the maximum stalls that are permitted without getting a separate conditional use permit. So they would be allowed a maximum of 68 spaces and they're coming in at 67 spaces. So right under that. Uh so they are in compliance with our code requirements. This one, the grading and landscaping. Once again, these will uh also receive final civil plan set with the final plat. Uh but what we're seeing in front of you tonight is just they'll have an underground storm water infiltration system. Uh they'll need a storm water maintenance agreement with that final plat. Uh the landscaping that's proposed is pretty much around the perimeter of the property and with some with the uh with the drive-through to help block any kind of lights that would be filtering onto County Road 50. So there'll be some of that landscaping along the southern property line. With our building elevations, they are proposing gradea materials with brick and glass. So they're coming in at 68% which meets our 65% minimum requirements. The other materials proposed would be ephus and fiber cement which are grade C materials. So the materials proposed on the building do comply with our um exterior building material material requirements. And then as mentioned, the building itself is designed for two tenants, just the one with the drive-thru. The staff is recommending approval of the conditional use permit for the drive-thru with the 11 stipulations listed in your report along with the findings of fact. Uh, and this application is scheduled for the January 5th city council meeting. And I stand for questions. Thank you. [38:48] Chair Zimmer: Thank you so much. Uh, once again, this is public hearing. Is there anyone that would like to speak on this issue? And seeing none, uh, who has not made a motion yet? Madam Chair, Commissioner Travis, thank you for stepping up. [39:03] Commissioner Travis: I move to close the public hearing. [39:03] Commissioner: Second. [39:28] Chair Zimmer: We have a motion and a second. All those in favor of closing the public hearing, please say I. [39:28] Commissioners: I. I. [39:28] Chair Zimmer: Opposed. Public hearing is now closed and we're open for questions and comments from commissioners. [39:28] Commissioner Swanson: Madam Chair, I will make a comment. I I can't let it go past without saying nothing. Um, as I was looking at the site, I I do want to compliment um folks putting together the package for this one. I do like the angled parking uh in this um in terms of driving a larger vehicle and navigating some of these parking lots with multiple activities and multiple users and that type of thing going on. The angled parking is a nice piece uh makes it a little easier to get in and out of parking spaces and pay attention to the right things rather than having two-way traffic to be looking at and addressing. So, just wanted to compliment you on that with that site design. So, thank you. I know there are some fans in my family of Panera's mac and cheese, so this is going to be a great addition. [40:21] Chair Zimmer: Um, if there are no other comments, then I think we're ready for a motion. Commissioner Tinsley. [40:21] Commissioner Tinsley: Madam Chair, Commissioner Tinsley, I move to recommend to city council approval of the conditional use permit for a convenience restaurant with a drive-thru located in the Heritage Commons PUB subject to the 11 stipulations listed in the planning memo dated December 4th, 2025. and the findings of fact. [40:45] Commissioner: Second. [40:45] Chair Zimmer: We have a motion and a second. Miss Ericen, will you please take the role? [40:45] Miss Ericen: Sweeney? I. Swanson? I. Tinsley? Hi. Travis? Hi. Kuza? Hi. Zimmer? I. Ike? Hi. [41:00] Chair Zimmer: There you have it. Mr. Willhoy. Thank you so much for making the trip. Appreciate it. Uh this is our last public hearing. This is item 5 to consider the application of ISG on behalf of Vidian Credit Union for a conditional use permit for a drive-thru service window accessory to an allowed use in the M2 mixeduse Cedar Corridor district in marketplace at Cedar. Um Jamie Faust with ISG is here to introduce the project. Thank you for making the trip on this cold and snowy day. [41:41] Jamie Faust: Thank you. My name is Jamie Faust, ISG 7900 International Drive in Bloomington. Uh here tonight uh representing Vidian Credit Union uh for the application to allow drive-through services as a part of Vidian's banking services that they offer the public. Uh this is a part of the marketplace at Cedar Development. [42:07] Chair Zimmer: Okay, we'll call you back up for further questions. Come on up, Miss Jensen. One last public hearing for the night. [42:07] Miss Jensen: All right, as we've said, this is a conditional use permit for Vidian Credit Union. It is for their drive-thru uh for an allowed use within the M2 district. Um it is located at the southeast corner of Cedar Avenue and 179. that is the marketplace at Cedar Development. Uh we've seen a couple other cups for uses come through recently. So this is the third um such one. Uh as we've said, this is zoned M2, which is the mixeduse cedar corridor district. Um it is an area that is uh primarily commercial with some uh multif family housing to the east. Uh this is the site plan here. Um the building in the center there is the three drive-thru lane here. Um I do want to note that unlike convenience restaurants, there is not a minimum stacking uh distance for banking uh facilities. So that is why there's not 180 feet of stacking for this. But there is enough space that if there is a vehicle at each here, there is enough space for them to a second vehicle to queue behind them. there. There is also the lane here to be able to go around uh as well. Uh the trash enclosure is located here. We normally don't um have those in what we would consider the front yard. Um but given the grades on the site, uh the top of that trash enclosure will be roughly the same as the top of this retaining wall. So, it will actually be much more hidden in this location than if we were to move it the south side of the the building. Uh this is the landscape plan. This is the other item that was distributed to you before the the meeting this evening. Um they did add the overstory trees around the site. Uh in this area there isn't any because there's this dash line here that comes and then ducks down. There is a county easement in that area. So they wouldn't be able to put trees there. There's also this retaining wall. And then the future um planned subdivision sign uh for the marketplace is also up in this area. So it's a little busy and and so the city forester did review this give it the thumbs up both with the species that are being proposed and and the locations that they're providing. Um and then they did also add plantings around the the transformer in this area. Uh these are the exterior materials. Um they are at a minimum I believe of 75% of gradea materials on all four sides and the contrasting green color is less than 10% of each side. So everything's in in compliance with zoning ordinance requirements. Um and staff does recommend approval of the Vidian Credit Union. Um they did satisfy the the number five stipulation about the revised landscaping plan. So, it is now the four stipulations, findings of fact dated December 18th, 2025. And I'll stand for any questions you may have. [45:22] Chair Zimmer: Thank you so much. Last public hearing of the night. Is there anyone that wishes to come forward and speak on this issue? Being none, uh, I can't make a motion, so somebody else has to do it. [45:41] Commissioner: Madam chair, seeing no one come forward, I move to close the public hearing. [45:41] Commissioner: Second. [46:02] Chair Zimmer: We have a motion in two seconds even. Uh all those in favor of closing the public hearing, please say I. [46:02] Commissioners: I. I. I. [46:02] Chair Zimmer: Opposed. The public hearing is now closed. And um open for comments and questions from commissioners. I want to say to staff, nicely done with the clever uh hiding of the uh trash enclosure. Good work. Appreciate that. Madam Chair. Again, I can't let a project go by without saying something. Yes. Go ahead. [46:17] Commissioner Swanson: This is probably the most random compliment the project will ever get. But um I appreciate seeing in the plans um all the ornamental grasses that are in here. I appreciate seeing something other than Carl Forester grass. Just going to say that because that's like everywhere. That's where my past history working for Bachman's comes back out, but it's everywhere on every commercial development. So again, appreciate seeing few few different varieties in there to mix it up a little bit. So thank you. [46:44] Chair Zimmer: Very nice. Nothing crazy. I think we would be remiss if we did not ask Mr. Faust to come forward and um agree that um you've had a chance to look at the additional requirement um for the uh forestation and and tree overlay and make sure that you've had a chance to review that and agree. [46:44] Jamie Faust: Yes, those have been uh addressed and I believe that they have been resubmitted with those changes made. [47:11] Chair Zimmer: Okay, great. Thank you so much. Um Madam Chair, Commissioner Travis. [47:11] Commissioner Travis: Question for Miss Jensen. Um with respect to Marketplace Cedar, Glenshaw Avenue is going to bisect it. Um, I believe it said does will will Glenshaw actually have access to 179th Street or will it simply service the businesses that— [47:11] Miss Jensen: no Glenshaw? So, it is currently located south of the site, south of 181st Street. Um, there is this segment here. Um, and it will continue north to a certain point where it takes a 90 degree turn and heads over to to Glacier Way. So that will be the public street within within the development. There will be two accesses uh aside from the the access from Glenshaw into the marketplace. Uh one is a right in right out from Cedar in roughly I about this uh no sorry it's it's a little further south in this area that will access onto a private road that will provide access into the marketplace site. And then there will be uh a again a right in right out access on the north side here from 179th Street uh that will come directly into the development. Um there will in 2027 be a a traffic signal added to Glacier and 179th Street as well. I don't have timing as to when in that 2027, but 2027 is when that is slated to have a traffic signal added to help uh facilitate traffic in that area moving in and out of that development. [49:00] Chair Zimmer: Thank you. Yep. Good question to address the traffic issues. Any additional comments? Thank you. And I think we're ready for a motion then. [49:00] Commissioner: Madam Chair, I'd u make a motion to recommend city council approval of the conditional use permit to allow for a drive-thru service window accessory to an allowed use in in the M2 mixeduse cedar corridor district subject to the five stipulations as listed in the planning memo dated December 10th, 2025 and the findings. Does it need to say as amended or not? [49:34] Miss Jensen: Excuse me. I believe the fifth stipulation has been satisfied. Um so it can just be the the four stipulations um with number five. [49:34] Commissioner: Okay. Just wanted to be as amended. [49:51] Commissioner: Second. [49:51] Chair Zimmer: We have a motion and a second. Miss Ericen, will you please take the role? [49:51] Miss Ericen: Swanson? Not often that a public hearing comes around where I have to be the first vote. There's a lot of pressure here. I. Travis? I. Kuza? I. Zimmer? I. Ike? I. Sweeney? I. [49:51] Chair Zimmer: There you have it. That one passes as well. Thank you so much. We're uh looking forward to another development here in Lakeville. Uh the next item is uh some staff notices. Miss Johnson, do you want to go through those? [50:29] Miss Jensen: No, I'm good. Thank you, Chair Zimmer. [50:44] Chair Zimmer: No, I don't need to. Okay. All right. Uh we can adjourn then. Motion to adjourn. We don't need a motion to adjourn. We're just adjourned. Go out and enjoy the snow.
