Sundance Lakeville Preliminary Plat
Dissent: None
Moved by Mayor Luke Helier [00:39:13] · Seconded by John Burmel [00:39:27]
The discussion centered on a two-phase medical office and residential development. Key concerns were raised about a private access road and its maintenance agreement, as it would function as a city street but remain privately maintained. Council members expressed apprehension regarding the enforceability of maintenance standards and the potential future restriction of left turns from Kendale Drive onto County Road 46 due to increased traffic density.
Notable Quotes (5)
item 6D is a report on the Lakeville Police Department 2024 body warn camera audit this is something that we're required to do by State Statute to audit our use of the of our body cams and once again we had no findings through that report
from a usability standpoint there will be no prevention of the public being able to use it um it'll look like a normal City street it'll drive like a normal City street it's the same width as a normal City street but from a maintenance standpoint we willon not have the responsibility of maintaining
the County plat commission reviewed not only the access of Buck Hill Road but also made a note that access to Kendell Drive will change may change in the future the direction that they're taking is any left-hand turns for traveling public coming south on um will be limited
I'm a little nervous about this about handing it over I guess I almost feel like it should be our responsibility eventually turned over to us when it's fully developed
in the maintenance agreement and in the development agreement we can address those kinds of concerns um if it's to be you know the equivalent of a City Street then you know the expectation would be that it would be built to city street standards and maintained in the same way
