the [3:37] application of South Metro Safe and [3:40] Vault for interim use permit and IUP to [3:42] allow the outdoor sale and display of a [3:44] safe as an accessory use in the C3 [3:47] General Commercial District uh first up [3:52] um is he on teams mr [3:57] borchard mr orchard if you're there um [4:00] please introduce yourself for the record [4:02] and then uh go [4:21] ahead maybe we're having technical [4:23] difficulties we could certainly [4:28] um possibly have Miss Bodern present [4:47] first i'm going to suggest that we have [4:49] Miss Bod present first [4:53] thank you [4:55] all right well good evening chair [4:57] commission members hey come here quick [5:02] muted i can't get it out [5:05] mr borchard is that you [5:09] yes are you there yes we are now we'd be [5:12] happy to hear from you about uh your [5:15] request for an IUP for South Metro Safe [5:18] and Vault [5:20] okay all right thank you very much i'm [5:22] good okay and if you could speak up it's [5:25] pretty hard to hear you oh okay um let [5:28] me turn up the volume here um okay yes [5:32] i'm uh I've started uh uh South Metro [5:37] Safe and Vault in Lakeville on the lower [5:39] level of Pleasant Hills in [5:43] 20122 and [5:45] uh um you just want to know about the [5:47] yellow safe out there or do you want a [5:49] little history on our company [5:52] i think what we're looking for is uh [5:53] what your request is regarding uh for [5:55] the IUP [5:59] oh okay uh my request is is that we have [6:02] a a large yellow safe on a trailer it's [6:07] an item that is for sale um it's a very [6:11] large safe and I was informed uh months [6:16] ago by the city that I needed to get a [6:19] $1,500 [6:21] permit to have that out for customers to [6:24] see and I paid the $1,500 and then I was [6:28] notified of this meeting [6:32] okay excellent thank you so much i guess [6:36] we'll move on to uh Ms botton to present [6:38] the staff report good evening chair [6:41] commission members so this request is [6:44] for property located at 16350 Kenrich [6:48] Loop it is located east of I35 and on [6:52] the corner of Kendrick Avenue and [6:54] Kenrich Loop the property is zoned C3 [6:58] which is our general commercial district [7:00] as are the properties surrounding this [7:02] parcel [7:05] so as mentioned the applicant is asking [7:07] for an interim use permit to allow the [7:09] outside sales and display of a safe so [7:12] outside sales are allowed in the C3 [7:14] district but not to exceed 30% of the [7:17] gross floor area of the leased space and [7:19] it's subject to approval of the interim [7:21] use permit so an interim use permit [7:24] allows flexibility of a use on the [7:26] property for a temporary amount of time [7:28] so this is unlike the conditional use [7:30] permits that you may be a little bit [7:31] more familiar with where a conditional [7:33] use permit runs with the land the [7:35] interim use permit will terminate on the [7:37] happening of any of the following events [7:40] whichever may occur first so it may at [7:43] the date or event that's stated in the [7:44] permit uh violations of any of the [7:47] conditions in the permit or changes in [7:50] the city's zoning regulations which [7:51] renders the use non-conforming [7:54] so the South Metro Safe and Vault their [7:56] business specializes in the sale of fire [7:59] and gun safes so the proposed outside [8:02] sale of this area for the safe is [8:04] located in the southwest corner of the [8:06] um parcel and it takes up one parking [8:09] space so there's no actual physical [8:11] changes to the parking lot or the [8:13] building the site would still comply [8:15] with the minimum parking requirements [8:17] and the proposed outdoor display area [8:19] does not exceed 30% of that lease area [8:23] so staff believes that the interim use [8:26] permit uh conforms with the performance [8:28] standards in the zoning ordinance and is [8:30] consistent with the goals and policies [8:32] of the city's comprehensive plan so [8:34] staff is recommending approval of the [8:35] request with the four stipulations that [8:37] are listed in your [8:39] report thank you thank you very much uh [8:43] I doubt that there's anybody here but [8:45] maybe uh if you'd like to speak at this [8:48] public [8:49] hearing for this particular [8:53] item doesn't appear and there's nobody [8:55] on the phone in addition to Mr orchard [8:58] madam Chair Commissioner seeing no one [9:01] in the audience I move to close the [9:02] public hearing [9:05] second thank you all those in favor i [9:10] uh the public hearing is now closed and [9:13] open for planning commissioners to ask [9:15] questions are there any questions [9:20] commissioner Ike for a question for [9:23] staff how does this differentiate [9:26] from signage [9:30] signage is more of just um similar to [9:33] like the boot that you maybe have seen [9:34] on site where it's just kind of [9:35] advertising the business but you're not [9:37] actually purchasing it this this the [9:39] safe that's out there you can actually [9:41] purchase that physical safe if you [9:42] wanted so it's more of a display and [9:44] sale of a product [9:48] thank you Madam Chair commissioner [9:51] Travis uh my my question you know upon [9:54] visiting the site um the safe is there [9:57] um I assume that there's not going to be [10:00] any change following an approval of [10:03] what's there now the stay the safe stays [10:06] there it stays on the trailer it looks [10:08] just like it looks now well it wouldn't [10:10] be able to be moved off the hard surface [10:13] if they would move it to a different [10:14] parking space on this property i guess I [10:16] wouldn't see any issue with that as long [10:19] as it doesn't take up more than one [10:20] parking space um but it wouldn't be able [10:22] to go onto the grass or in the corner [10:24] off the hard surface [10:26] thank [10:29] you and it could actually it's not tied [10:31] to like the specific yellow safe either [10:33] i should make that clear if they would [10:34] happen to sell that safe and they put [10:36] out a new safe they can do that as [10:41] well any other [10:44] questions like ready for a motion [10:48] madam Chair Commissioner Swanson i move [10:51] to recommend a city council approval of [10:53] the South Metro Safe and Vault interimm [10:55] use permit for outdoor sales and display [10:57] of a safe or vault in the C3 district [10:59] subject to the four stipulations listed [11:01] in the May 8th 2025 planning report [11:07] second [11:09] we have a motion and a second i'd like [11:11] to ask uh Secretary Ericson to take the [11:15] role [11:17] travis hi hi zimmer [11:22] hi Swainy hi

a preliminary plat [12:05] of two commercial lots to be known as [12:07] Heritage Commons 9th edition and the [12:10] vacation of public drainage and utility [12:12] easements uh here to speak on behalf of [12:16] the project is uh Matt [12:19] Lingum like to have you come forward [12:22] identify yourself and tell us a little [12:23] bit about your project [12:27] hi I'm not actually Matt

[12:39] here on behalf of TAP and Chase um and [12:42] we'll be happy to answer any additional [12:44] questions after any presentation um that [12:47] they have for the Chase Bank but [12:49] essentially we're uh planning to split [12:52] the lot into two separate parcels one [12:54] will have the Chase Bank with a 247 ATM [12:59] and um drive-through lane and bypass [13:02] lane um and then east of that is [13:05] undetermined right now a what east the [13:08] east parcel is undetermined right now [13:12] okay and I did not catch your name to [13:14] write it down uh Connor McCoy [13:18] connor McCoy mccoy mc O Y yep okay thank [13:24] you very much thanks [13:27] we'll ask uh planning manager Jensen to [13:30] come forward with presentation good [13:32] evening commissioners uh before you this [13:34] evening is a preliminary plat and [13:36] easement vacation for Heritage Commons [13:38] 9th edition uh as Connor said it is um a [13:43] a two lot subdivision of a parcel uh for [13:46] a Chase Bank and a a future user to be [13:49] determined uh the property is north of [13:52] 202nd Street just down the street here [13:54] from city hall and between Ideelic and [13:57] Iberia Avenues in the Heritage Commons [14:00] uh [14:01] development it is zoned to PUD uh [14:04] because it is part of that Heritage [14:06] Commons PUB but it does have the C3 [14:08] district which is our general commercial [14:10] district as its underlying zoning uh [14:13] this is the preliminary plat it is [14:15] currently uh the parcel is currently an [14:17] outlot uh from the tires plus uh [14:21] development to the to the east so they [14:23] are proposing to split this into uh two [14:27] parcels each parcel uh is in excess of [14:29] the minimum lot size required for that [14:32] C3 [14:33] district uh and then this is the [14:36] proposed site plan for Chase Bank uh the [14:39] the structure itself is about 3,400 [14:41] square ft it is oriented to Ideelic [14:44] Avenue uh it does have a drive-thru ATM [14:48] on the south side including a bypass [14:50] lane uh to allow other vehicles past [14:52] that uh there is parking um on the site [14:56] and it will have a stub for the uh east [15:00] parcel and you will have access from [15:02] Idealic and from Heritage [15:04] Drive uh and then there will be storm [15:07] water ponding on the site this pretty [15:10] pond [15:10] here uh this is the landscape plan uh [15:14] there are overstory trees uh around the [15:17] site there are additional plantings on [15:19] the south side here with the drivethru [15:21] area to help block those headlights the [15:24] landscape plan has been uh reviewed and [15:26] approved by the city forester [15:30] um this is just kind of a a ghost or a [15:35] concept layout for that vacant parcel uh [15:38] to show how you know potentially it [15:40] could be developed again we do not have [15:43] an identified user for that um but they [15:45] will have a a connection at this point [15:48] and then with the tires plus side a [15:50] connection both uh on the north and on [15:53] the south side for give them flexibility [15:56] in how that site were to lay [15:59] out uh the building is a onestory [16:02] building uh as you can see it uses [16:05] nearly 98% grade A materials they have [16:08] three colors of brick uh cast stone and [16:11] glass materials um the design element [16:16] that you see right here it's a kind of a [16:18] stripe across the building here that is [16:21] consistent with all of the other [16:23] Heritage Commons buildings in that [16:25] development if you go look and see uh [16:29] you will see that design element so we [16:31] asked them to incorporate that to help [16:33] carry that through and and they were [16:35] happy to add that uh to that building uh [16:39] the also the trash enclosure will be [16:41] made up of the same uh materials as the [16:43] building uh consistent with that [16:47] uh that is all I have for you uh staff [16:49] does recommend approval of the Heritage [16:51] Commons 9th edition preliminary platin [16:53] Eastman vacation subject to the 11 [16:55] stipulations that were included in your [16:57] planning report [17:00] thank you very much Miss Jensen uh I'll [17:02] make the announcement again if there's [17:04] anyone uh that wishes to speak [17:10] it's time to ready for a motion [17:14] madam chair I uh seeing still no one in [17:17] the audience I move to close the public [17:18] hearing [17:21] second we have a motion and a second all [17:25] those in favor signify by saying I [17:28] i got to pass [17:31] that [17:34] um public hearing is now closed does [17:38] anyone have any questions for um um our [17:43] presenter or uh staff commissioner [17:46] Johnson Swanson madam Chair um might [17:50] have the um representative come back up [17:53] real quickly um just curious as I was [17:56] looking at the site I noticed um I see [17:58] the building I see a storm water pond [18:00] and then there's kind of some uh grayed [18:01] out rectangular piece kind of in the [18:03] northwest corner of the parcel could you [18:05] maybe help me out in understanding what [18:06] might be at that location on the parcel [18:08] yeah that's uh [18:20] that there you go that's uh currently [18:23] underground storm water storage for the [18:25] improvements for Heritage Drive so that [18:29] everything collected off there gets put [18:31] there right now and that's where we tie [18:32] in our above ground storm water too [18:35] gotcha so that kind of helps explain as [18:38] I'm looking at the site I was kind of [18:39] wondering why nothing was happening in [18:41] that portion of the site or why that [18:42] wasn't part of the development here so [18:44] that that makes sense i appreciate you [18:45] clarifying that thank you [18:49] have any other questions [18:52] thank you so much [18:56] there are no other questions and I think [18:57] we're ready for a [19:00] motion make a motion to recommend to [19:02] city council approval of the Heritage [19:04] Commons 9th edition preliminary plat and [19:07] easement vacation subject to the 11 [19:10] stipulations listed in the April [19:13] 25th 2025 planning report [19:17] second [19:19] we have a motion and a second uh [19:21] Secretary Ericen will you take the role
