We're looking at building a 42 foot by 72 foot pole barn 18 ft high below the eaves um for family use um basically. Um and that's pretty much it.

The request is for a conditional use permit to allow the gross square footage of an accessory building to exceed the square footage of the principal structure. So the applicant is proposing to construct about a 3,000 square foot detached accessory building. And then when you include the existing attached garage, the total of accessory building square footage would be about 3,792 gross square feet.

You know, these this this is again a very straightforward application. We understand what you're you're doing. I think some of us are jealous of the ability to have that personal storage. But in terms of where in the city this fits everything else, this is a a reasonable proposal. I'll be affirmative for this one because it does meet our requirements.

I'm here this evening to respectfully request your recommendation of approval for a comp plan amendment and a resoning for a what will be a 46 single family home new community staff presentation.

The request in front of you tonight is the comprehensive plan amendment to change the current designation of lowdensity residential which allows up to three units an acre to change that to low to medium density residential which is up to five units an acre. Uh they're also asking for a reszoning to change the zoning from RS3, which is a single family zoning district, to an RST2, which allow for single and uh or two family residential homes on that type of property.

I have a concern that you're squeezing us out up there. You're going to have 12 acres left. with this development down there. If they want to develop that down there, I feel they should buy the whole works and develop it all instead of leaving 12 acres uh leaving us in limbo in the middle of nowhere we us out. I have a street that's a dead ended right to my back door and uh either they either they develop it all or don't develop any of it. That's my feeling.

My concern well we again will be landlocked and won't be we'll be surrounded you know with nothing we can do. Um, but also a concern is I know that the uh amount of traffic has been addressed, but it looks like the one street comes out right across from the church and whenever that church is letting out, traffic is a nightmare. Is traffic control being addressed or is that supposed to happen at this point in time?

We share the same concerns as the rest of our neighbors as far as being squeezed out, kind of decreasing our property value. Um We've got older homes that are now sandwiched in between bigger multifamily homes that are a little bit more appealing.

So, to answer their questions or answer at least the one question is that property is still going to remain as it is today. It is not proposed to be changed. So guided for that low density residential and then zoned for that RS3.

this is kind of a multi-step process for the developer to work their way through this and this is merely one step in that journey. So they'll be back with a detailed plan and we'll evaluate those traffic concerns, other concerns related to [clears throat] the actual development proposal like number of units and and all that. Obviously, we have a ghost plan in front of us to kind of have an idea as as we're thinking about this, but really tonight all we're thinking about is just that land use change.

Uh when we originally put an option on the property, we were going to move forward with I think it was 71 town homes or duplexes, we did our analysis with what the Lakeville market needs. We looked at your housing study. We realized that the single family home sites here are more appropriate. So we went from 71 originally down to 46. So uh fewer homes, but definitely a different product.

We approve zoning and uh different pieces. We don't uh the plans come to us. We don't design the plans. Just so you know, our scope is limited in what we can and can't do and what we can approve and and what we can change.

it has a capacity for over 9,000 vehicles a day. Um the 2024 numbers that we have has less than 6,000 vehicles. So, I mean there's we're not close to what the maximum capacity would be for some and that's the closest one.

The proposed facility offers a larger footprint that allows us to bring training closer to home for our players and families and will also provide adequate office and storage space. Currently, our staff uses space in the pavilion at Steve Mashad, which can be inconvenient for both our staff and other community members who utilize that space.

this request is for property located on the n north side of Juniper Way. It is zoned office park. Um as mentioned the request in front of you is for a conditional use permit to allow commercial recreation facility in the office park district.

parking should not be an issue. It's just that you might not be able to park right in front of the building. People might have to park further down and then walk a little bit to get inside. Um if internal traffic congestion does become a problem, the applicants have a couple different options that they can do.

No. Uh, no. So, the current place we we lease at Heron Way is pretty small. So, we have some training that happens there, but because of our size, we're having to uh rent space from the Dundas dome down in in Dundas, Minnesota, which is poke. Yeah. And, you know, my son has to be down there on Tuesday at 5:30, you know, so girls get out of school at 4. You know, it's it's a it's a hassle to to try and get down there and the families don't like it very much. Uh that would we would the plan would be to eliminate the need for Dundus as well as what we use at the Herren Way location and then just have to go to this this one location.

I'm I'm certain that the soccer parents will be appreciative of having a space closer as being a hockey parent and having to go down to Shadic St. Mary's and Farbo from time to time. I see other hockey parents nodding their heads in agreement. It'd be very nice to have that locally.

I as Commissioner Swinson, when I saw the the building and the size and particularly the number of boating docks in the back, um I would assume eventually there will be of semitr u and car traffic. I guess my question, Mr. Beard, is that you you you've anticipated that could happen and That's part of your planning and and and you you acknowledge that could happen and and you're okay with that.

We acknowledge that could happen. We also acknowledge that most of that traffic will happen during the daytime hours and ours will be most primarily after 5:00 our training time. So there should be minimal.
