I state your name i Dylan Duckworth do solemnly swear that I will support the Constitution of the United States and of the state of Minnesota and faithfully discharge the duties of the office of planning commissioner of the city of Lakeville in the county of Dakota and state of Minnesota to the best of my judgment and ability so help me God

On behalf of Divine Encounter Church we'd like to present our request which will primarily be weekly Sunday services and mid midweek Bible studies and daily prayer in addition to our core activities we'll also hold other church related activities like special events and workshops and occasionally we'll do outreach activities to our community

The existing site includes 154 parking spaces and the church is anticipating approximately 50 attendees for its weekly Sunday services so the parking requirements in city code would be on a ratio of one parking space for three seats of design capacity of the assembly hall which would then require about 17 parking spaces so staff believes that the existing parking on site is sufficient for the proposed use

My question is just about the signage i wasn't entirely clear what it would look like but what what will the signage look like when the church is in the building

We want to open Pickle in the Mill indoor pickle ball facility we currently have a facility in Brooklyn Park and one in Woodbury and would like to open one in Lakeville facility will have 15 indoor courts it be open 24/7 people will receive a pin code to enter the facility and play pickle ball

In Brooklyn Park we've been open for two and a half years now and it's been pretty self-regulated. Woodbury we've been open almost a year and that's been really successful too so the only issue we have sometime people play 20 30 minutes longer but that we manage with the customers

Based on the average occupancy of the other facilities and at the peak usage and times they are anticipating about 50 to 60 vehicles on site at their peak times so staff does not believe that parking will be an issue

We're looking at a new building approximately 9,000 square ft of general practice veterinary care um so people often ask is there boarding there is no plan for boarding here in this facility um so we just want to make that clear

The veterinary clinic would be located on lot one block one here at the corner the remainder of the outlot being platted would just be platted as an outlot um so at the time um that lot were to come forward for development it would need its own preliminary and final plat

There's a relief area on the front end of the building so that as you do come for your appointment you can have them use that initially and that has fence on two sides it's you know intended that they're still on their leash um but that's on the front side near that parking lot but then the one in the back that's even closer to the to the kids space um those would be opaque fences that are 8 feet high so that would they're not going to see or even know that they're in there

I remember being up here when the initial application came in at the strip mall for the initial location here so um always happy to see businesses in Lakeville you know we had business before looking to come and locate here in Lakeville always happy to see businesses expanding and thriving in Lakeville as well and so really excited to see this new facility come to the city

We are buying um my partners and I we're going to buy the platted lot so you see in front of you there's a plat a vacation and then a PUD amendment and a CUP i'm kind of the PUB CUP but I'm going to speak for everything um there's a little triangular piece on the south side of of Mr cheetah's lot there's a there's a land swap for lack of a better way to say it happening between Epic and Mr cheetah we're doing some parking for him over on the east side of his lot um that then allows Epic to create the plat which creates lot one which we're going to buy and develop and put in a quickserve uh restaurant and a a coffee uh operator

We are asking for some uh PUB uh I'll say lenience on parking we are two stalls short of meeting requirement we've talked to our operators we're more than comfortable we've done these two together in three other spots and I can tell you that this is the most parking we've had in these spots so they are very comfortable with it

You don't pull in and say 'I want a burrito bowl with this this and this.' into an order board it's all digital uh you you order online and you get a notice uh that says you'll be ready in 15 minutes you can go park if you're there you can wait for it they'll call you you've paid for it you run through and you pick it up they move through quickly

The site plan identifies 27% of green space on the site which our code requires a minimum of 25% so they exceed that requirement um as Paul mentioned they're asking for some flexibility from parking uh so there are 51 spaces that are required they are proposing 49 spaces and as it's like it's set up here as like a shared design system so staff is comfortable with this flexibility requirement due to the off-peak times of the proposed restaurants

I'm a water resource engineer by trade just commenting on the underground storage facility um that you have in in this that it's a little different than a lot of the features and facilities we see um in Lakeville where we typically have I'll say a surface water feature or surface infiltration feature um can you maybe comment on the wiser why we went this route

I think you may not like the answer it is it was the economics of the deal um it was it was more uh it worked better for us to do this and frankly it it left the residual lot which is outlot a a little bit easier to develop now when they if somebody takes that whole lot at once they may put something there but for us it was it was kind of twofold but economics played a big part of it

I'm comfortable with the way the parking lays out i love the the different uses and their timing effects i like coming up or having things that come before us that take advantage of those timing effects to allow I'll say a smaller parking area to function and serve the needs of Bolt so I think this is a good thing appreciate these types of businesses being here um and looking this way also want to comment that this is a a fairly visible corner in our community i think a lot of people have been wondering for a long time where this was going to go also want to acknowledge the existing owner of Lake Marian out there as well being a part of this um and making this all come together um knowing that there's some kind of complicated property lines out here that made this a little tricky um to come together so grateful for your participation in this as well

There is um there's an easement in place today on the O'Reilly lot as I remember it in the there's a declaration of record i think I'm saying that right um so that that driveway will be a continuation of that easement um I think the the question is are people going to be barreling through there and uh I would I would say that as a group the operators whether it's our lot the O'Reilly lot or whatever Epic ends up controlling will work together to make sure that we don't have that is it a speed bump system to be determined but I think um that can be handled and people will get used to it because the nobody wants to see that happen but could it happen absolutely and and we'll work together to make sure that we have a safe environment for everybody
