Arbor Day Proclamation and I'll turn it over to Zach Jorgenson our city Forester for presentation I think this might be your first time okay I did I miss your first one maybe so we'll make it more exciting this time welcome thank you yeah thanks for having me in tonight to introduce the Arbor Day Proclamation this year um you know we're excited obviously to celebrate Arbor Day we're excited to dig in uh after this long winter and plant some trees this spring we're excited to uh celebrate all the benefits trees provided to the community so uh the Arbor Day Foundation has recognized Lakeville as a tree City USA Community for 31 years uh we're looking to make looking forward to making that 32 uh this year as well as adding a growth award uh we're lining up to do that with all the great work that uh everyone in the city is doing with trees and uh management of the community Forest so we're excited for that as well um to achieve Tree City USA a city most proclaimed official Arbor Day celebration and hold an event that promotes the planting and care of trees as well as engages the community and the establishment and care of its Forest that's the official line so this year we're doing that through two events uh we're wrapping up our annual Arbor Day tree sale this Saturday with the the tree distribution out of the central maintenance facility uh with the Earth Day celebration so people are going to show up uh this weekend to pick up their trees that they ordered we did sell 255 which is a slight increase in trees this year uh interestingly enough uh the sale started uh mid-February and we sold that within two weeks this year I think people were really excited with the warm weather to to get outside so that was great uh we're introducing a bunch of new seedlings this years things that are not generally available commercially in the in the local area so some things that are climate adaptive uh exciting and unique so we're excited for those and we're going to plant some of those in our Parks as well just to see how they do uh the second event is our Arbor Day tree planting event which is a volunteer event we're going to do that uh Wednesday May 1st uh in the evening this year and we're going to have that over at Independence Park and so those two events represent what we're doing for Arbor Day as part of our Tre City USA status so with that I'll uh I'll turn it over any questions comments okay I'll let council member vul read our Proclamation all right great whereas Arbor Day provides an opportunity to celebrate the importance of trees and forests to our economy culture history and future of the state and whereas trees provide many benefits incling uh including clean air and water shade and Energy savings wildlife habitat recreational opportunities wood products and jobs and increased property values while capturing and storing carbon from the atmosphere to offset greenhous gas emissions and whereas properly planting and caring for a diverse mix of trees makes Community forests more resilient by minimizing the impacts of diseases insects and other stressors such as climate change while providing long-term community and environmental benefits and whereas thoughtfully choosing planting watering and caring for a diverse mix of trees now supports a resilient Community into the future and whereas the city of Lakeville will observe Arbor Day on Saturday April 20th at the Arbor Day tree and shrub sale pickup event and will continue to celebrate Arbor month through forestry and parkks planning um planting collaborations and a volunteer planting project at Independence Park on Wednesday May 1st therefore the city of Lakeville the city council of the city of Lakeville and support of its Community Forest P crams Saturday April 20th 2024 is Arbor Day in the city of Lakeville proclaimed this 15th day of April 2024 and it'll be signed by the mayor very good thank you sir thank you all right moving on to item C our fire department corly report and I'll turn it now over to Chief Meyer welcome good evening mayor council members I'd like to present it's actually our annual report and the first quarter report for 2024 combined and I'll start with our mission statement the Lakeville fire department is dedicated to serving the community Through the protection of lives and property by providing public safety education and professional emergency response annual activities of the fire department obviously responding to calls so whether that's through the station's response for Duty Crew fire prevention which includes inspections and then training in our schools and our businesses and throughout the community Department training Recruitment and then community and public events looking at our emergency responses so in 2023 we were responded to 3,286 calls and you can see as we go down the line there the the breakdown of those call types obviously uh rescue EMS or Medicals are our main driver at 68% uh good intent calls and then uh fires I'll just draw your pen because it says 80 so just to break those down there was 26 building fires in 2023 and then they're broken down as you can see by vehicle cooking fires dryer trash and so on uh the good intent calls uh out of 503 of those 388 are dispatched and canceled in route and that just means that we weren't needed at that scene whether it was a medical or some other type of incident that we were canceled either by police department or the ambulance for instance our drone team got very busy in 2023 so some of the responses that they do water rescue structure fires uh search uh it's a 10 made up of 10 uh person team on the fire department you can see a couple of the pictures uh I think I've highlighted that the lake Marian bolt rescue from last year uh the one that the Egan up in the top right corner so that we were requested to Egan to help them with the goer resource fire uh which became a very well uh a very good asset for them because we were able to monitor the crews that were on the roof and that's also with the thermal cameras on the Drone to watch the the heat signatures coming off the roof so if there's any danger areas that we could highlight for them before Crews got themselves into trouble looking at our call comparison for over the past 10 years uh so you can see obviously 2013 at 884 calls and then ending in 2023 with the 3200 calls and then how our population affects that uh obviously from roughly 2020 to current is where we saw our biggest spikes uh in call volume uh 22 to 23 is more the average of what we see that around that 5% to 10% increase per year and then just breaking down those calls throughout the year between the stations uh station one and two are typically our two busier stations and that's where our population density resides currently uh slight increase over station 4 as far as numbers that we see there uh but typically station 4 is our secondary station or a backup station to either the duty crew or to the station that's responding to that primary call and then one item that we continue to watch is just those simultaneous incidents so throughout 23 uh there was 546 occurrences where we had more than two calls occurring three times is 59 and then four time four calls occurring is nine times uh good example of like Saturday morning uh we had five incidents going on at one time or within one hour so we were running around quite a bit on Saturday morning and then breaking down those calls as far as a Duty Crew response so out of just slightly under 1,800 calls a Duty Crew responded to which uh in turn 75% of that volume was for Medicals uh and just so that you're aware as far as responsibility when our crews are working on duty crew um Beyond responding to calls they are out doing uh pre-plan truck checks uh temporary heat inspections they do have training assignment ments and then uh we do assign them to community events or conduct station tours for people looking at our response times and the 90th percentile so this uh the top one is all instance minus any canel in route or EMS calls and then the bottom chart shows just EMS only uh the very top line on both of those if you look at it is the total response time so the p app to arrive and what that means is from the time that our Dispatch Center answered the call till the time that the first unit arrived on scene uh blue indicates a station and the go uh gold or orange uh indicates the duty crew response and they're fairly consistent between the two our duty crew is slightly faster when it looks at uh EMS calls uh the other item that we do watch is that the p app to alarm time so that's our dispatch handling or when they process calls fires typically their fewer questions that they ask to dispatch versus a EMS call they're asking more questions so that's why you see that a little bit longer uh processing time Chief can I ask a quick question yeah I don't know if you have the data in here but at some point can you give me the number of how many times or maybe we don't track that how we're interacting with Alf at the same time you know are we there always first you know I'm just curious if there's more data on that yep uh what we do track is kind of our arrival time versus their arrival time I don't have that in front of me but that's something that I can get to you okay so I will say probably if I was to look at it we're 60% of the time we're there prior to them that was my assumption uh looking at fire prevention so inspections uh in 2023 we had roughly just under, 1300 inspections we completed uh and they're just broken out by numbers that you see there uh the one I'll draw your attention to is just the food trucks become more and more that we see every year so we are just under 100 food truck inspections in 20 23 37 of those were strictly just for pan aprag the other 57 are for food trucks are coming in for events throughout the city uh food truck license as I mentioned just under uh a 100 on those and just kind of the process that we go through so all food trucks do apply to the fire department with an application the stuff that's required uh there is a fee and if they are uh showing up at a private event or the property has to have written consent for them to be there a good example that you see probably quite frequently is the ones that are at Fleet Farm uh they do a very good job as coordinating that event for a weekend food truck event so that we're out there and prepared for that fire prevention visits I won't go through the entire list there the bottom one is where I'll draw your attention to the fire extinguisher training so we not only are we at the schools but we're also in businesses uh the one picture you can see kind of top left is our firefighters are at one of our elementary or uh middle schools teaching fire extinctor training to our sixth grade classes uh so we do that every year in May roughly that we go into all three of our middle schools and uh promote fire extinguisher uh Hands-On training with them uh and then we get a quite a few requests for businesses that want a fire safety visit as far as some education and then extinguisher training along with that Department training uh total combined hours for the Department was over 9,000 hours of training that we completed uh every firefighter is required to attend one training per month and those topics could include live burn training or live fire training uh medical training which is EMR Auto extrication agility testing uh forced entry uh we do a number of required online assignments which are most of our OSHA mandat that trainings that we have to accomplish and then on the right side is kind of a breakdown of those medical training certifications uh my actually my number is wrong on 57% it should be 48% our EMR 48% our EMT uh which is up 34% compared to last year so we have more we're about 5050 for EMTs on the department uh versus emrs and we have a few paramedics that work elsewhere that carry that certification uh some of the other trains that we complete are train the trainer for active shooter or hostile event uh and then our special response team training so our drone and rescue swimmer uh teams are training what's the difference between EMR and EMT EMR is emergency medical responder and EMT is emergency medical technician so it's just a higher level uh vire level yep Wellness uh stuff that we do so mental and physical so obviously physical we have our fitness center up at station 4 that is uh continues to get quite a bit of use between police and fire uh departments uh and then uh our mental health side of it is we partnered with abija on the backside so they they provide a lot of mental health and resilience training for our firefighter firefighters uh they're not only just providing that training but they're also showing they're incorporated into our training program so they show up to station trainings they're part of that piece our officer trainings uh when we do have a critical incident uh we notify them of the crews that were're on scene and then they actually reach out to them and make sure there's followup going on with those individuals if there's any troubles with recruitment uh it's a long timeline that we go through for recruitment in 23 for 24 we actually Advanced it a month so we applications were due for 24 today uh just for a reference for that but uh in 23 we hired three firefighters all are assigned at Station 2 and you can see the the process that it goes into for hiring those firefighters and then a number we always look at is just our retention firefighters so looking over a 10e span uh again our average continues to be about six years that we we see a firefighter before they leave uh the department uh and I'll just draw your number for 22 and 23 was our largest numbers that we saw for retirees a total of 12 uh firefighters retired between 22 and 23 and I will highlight six of those in 23 actually uh recognition so we held our annual banquet at uh brackets in February of this last year uh we recognize rosswood as rosswoods as our rookie of the year and Aaron AER as our uh firefighter of the year we also recognize uh the members that have accomplished 10 years 15 years or 20 years of service at that as well as I mentioned retirees so we had six retirees in 2023 uh I won't go through all their names but uh between the six of them there's 140 plus years of uh service and experience that has left our department uh obviously we just had Greg stus here a little bit ago with 36 years so he's probably one of our longest standing firefighters that has retired from the Department in my time on in December we held our uh badging ceremony for class of 2021 so they had completed all their training certifications uh and their two-year probation so they were recognized here with badging by their family members and just a few other highlights for 2023 uh there was a lot of discussion a lot of meetings around the transition to a hybrid Department with full-time and pay on call Firefighters uh we submitted a uh safer Grant application uh we were not successful in that in 2023 uh Council approved the hiring of our first six full-time firefighters that started in 24 uh we have completed and continue to have conversations around the fire station study uh and we hired our second fire inspector in October uh and then we have also completed our transition to to a new record systems management called first do community and public events again a long list of uh items or that we're out out and about at uh the one I would draw your attention to we don't have a picture up there but is Shop with a hero with our partnership with the public safety foundation and the school district is probably one of our most memorable and most attent well attended events that we all enjoy and are part of in the top right picture is a number of firefighters doing the 911 stair climb at Lifetime Fitness waffle breakfast at pan prog so this is the second year that firefighters uh served waffles made waffles did everything uh we set another record or we're uh above 2022 with just over 2100 plates or waffles served uh and just know that's a full day for us as a department is that we're there early in the morning and we're there until late at night uh and this year we provided extra Crews for a lot of downtown events uh and our drone team was uh also a part of that actively engaged in doing stuff for pan prog as far that's so as I mentioned Public Safety Foundation is a great partner uh listed their events to the left side of the screen that they host throughout the year uh some of the things that they helped us fund as a fire department is Lucas devices that are used during a cardiac arrest uh as well as the suction units that go with those uh they also helped us purchase for seek thermal camera sets which is that bottom left picture you see uh so each of our engines and ladders have an individual thermal camera that firefighters can wear when they're at a fire uh eight emergency vehicle plugs which is that bottom right picture and you're going to ask what is that for it's for Ev Vehicles so if they are involved in a vehicle accident the plug actually goes into where you would charge the vehicle and it disables the car so it can't move while we're doing extrication or patient care uh and the leg press is just another additional item that we've added at the fitness center and jumping to first quarter report for 2023 or 24 I'm sorry uh 24 86 calls to date so far uh the biggest increase we saw was in January with 298 calls uh February March are pretty on course of what we see for numbers so uh and then a breakdown again of those incident types uh 86 and then Medicals again remain at that 65 70% uh ranging from there uh as far as building fires there was eight building fires out of the 23 so far in 2024 inspections this is a little bit different than the previous slide and this is a change with our our change in our RMS system and then just changing how we're looking at that data and inputting that data in inspection so we had 286 inspections uh annual inspections of things that you will see increase as we go through this uh 24 with our duty crew and such is the routine a key box inspection means that when we're at a business for whether that's for a call or we're there for an inspection is that we're checking the key boxes that are provided so that we know we have access into that building uh and then the routine other ones are just labeling labeling our I to better Define that for data that makes sense and then some Department updates uh as of the end of March our class of 23 has completed all of their training and certifications and they are actually working Duty Crew shifts as we speak uh we had nine firefighters complete their EMT certification which is provided through Alina uh we continue with our station study and the remodel of station 4 is in the final stages where we're basically going through the punch list but uh a little bit more on that we our six full-time staff started March 4th and they are actually starting their first full time or their first 24hour shift as of 6:00 a.m. they started this morning today today cool uh with that the remodel the doors were going in today uh all the final major items were getting completed for them today so so they did have doors when they they did get doors nice uh and safer Grant was submitted on Wednesday I believe it was so we should hopefully hear results sometime probably June July uh for the first round and it'll be later in the fall as we go through that and then just as a final update uh everything that occurred in Burnsville we as a fire department as one fire department that helped Burnsville uh we provided about 500 Plus hours of coverage for them and that concludes my 23 annual report and 24 first quarter report and I'll stand for any questions Council questions com just a question about the hiring um how many applications do you get uh because I think you the data showed that you hired three but how many applicate how many people apply for last year we were in the mid 20s uh right now what we saw CU our applications were actually due today for 24 we were right around 50 so there was a slight increase and when we uh spoke to Apple Valley and far fire departments they also saw like kind of a spike or an increase in applications for their departments too good yeah Josh well impressive report there a lot of information a lot of stuff happened on the last year and a quarter U my only question was about uh I was curious about the mutual Aid to Egan when when something gets called out like that it seems like an abnormal uh Mutual Aid so how does that get called out to us and who responds is that a truck is that a a pickup so it's broke down for for us as a department we call it alarm levels so to to keep it uh so like if us going to a structure fire within our own town or or city as far as Lakeville goes it's a first alarm when we start needing more assistance it it goes up to like a Fifth Alarm is our top of the line as far as we're drawing a lot of resources in that makes sense so I believe when Egan requested us we were the third alarm to bring crews in because they've already the the crews prior to us were already being used or already you know at a point where they need to be replaced uh the Drone team was a special request because our crews got on scene and said you know we could probably really use a drone can we bring ours in to assist with that gotcha so is that a a drone in a rig or did you bring a Explorer up there or typically yep uh we'll move it into like a pickup truck or a staff vehicle uh what we did after that is we took are we have an inspection trailer in fire investigation trailer and we've modified that and actually the drones are in there with their own power source and monitors and so on so uh so we've really built that upward now we just bring a trailer with the drones and monitor so that people can see stand at the back and watch what their what the Drone is seen great thanks thank you Chief thank you um moving on to item six the consent agenda any items you wanted to highlight Mr Miller thank you mayor and Council two items tonight item 6D is a resolution accepting the donations uh from the liquor stores tonight just a formal recognition again we thank all of our customers for that and then item 6 m is in agreement with Mom brands for some side improvements to their site I bring this up it just it's a recognition of their expansion and continued investment in Lakeville and we appreciate that very good Council any items you'd like to pull for further discussion from the consent agenda not poll but just I wanted to give staff a shout out for item 6j in terms of finding funds to ensure that all of our service Windows have Ada accessible Windows thought that was a uh a good initiative and uh well must needed uh well- needed item to have in in City Hall so I just appreciate their their time and effort there good okay uh with that I'll take a motion to approve the consent agenda I uh move to approve the consent agenda is there a second second any further discussion all in favor say I I I post consent agenda passes we'll move on to item seven uh public hearing for Wellhead protection plan part two turn it over to our Public Works director Mr Omi good evening right good evening mayor city council members this is a public hearing that we'd like to have for the Wellhead protection plan this has been a about a three-year process to get to this point so we're ready to submit to the Department of Health for final approval so um what is that well health protection plan this is a plan that comes um that uh is required by the agencies that have um um Municipal Water Systems so it's basically supposed to it helps protect uh human pollutants from entering the water system as much as we can so um The Well protection plan goes back to uh Federal um requirements uh basically the Safe Water drinking act that was passed in 1986 and those rules uh trickle down to the state level uh into Wellhead protection rules and and state statutes and then um basically the Wellhead protection plan that the city's um drafts um it's broken out into two parts so a delineation of the well head protection areas those areas around the well that we want to make sure that are are um free from contaminant as much as we can and then well Acer and vulnerability assessments associated with those areas as well so so that part was completed um I think it was uh early 20123 and we moved on to part two of the plan which is the potential Source water inventory um associated with the dsma areas water protection areas so this is the information that um We Gather from all the state agencies and counties and other other data bases that put into this into this document as well so the well heal protection plan is again it's a 10-year um document uh the Department of Health can amend um or require updates to the plan prior to 10 years uh if there's major changes Associated but typically it's it's it's a 10e 10year plan and then uh the Department of Health uh our current uh plan is uh running out so um in April so we're this is why we're moving forward with uh this new plan so Wellhead protection uh part one again uh so the city does have 18 Municipal Wells that uh feed our system treated our water treatment plan we do have one eer well um and then as you can see on this slide here this is the areas around our wells that uh we want to make sure that we're doing our best to um uh protect from contaminates getting into the into the aquifers so that the larger um green area that's the dsma areas the Wellhead protection management plan area that's the area that we really need to focus in on and um and and uh protect as much as we can and then the U emergency response areas those are the areas right around the well where potentially water surface water can enter uh in the aquafer uh and get to that well within about a year so the uh drink of water supply management plan uh again that encompasses um this uh this area throughout the city but it does include areas outside of the outside of the city including uh Farmington so we do based upon the modeling we've completed we do have some areas that are invulnerable areas um which are more susceptible for ground or for surface UNC contaminantes to get into the wells um and it's basically based upon the the soil conditions in this area so um the red areas the high vulnerability areas that's more of a Sandy uh soil type uh situation as in Green in the yellow area that's more clay and uh more more impervious U type of uh areas as well so so and then we move on to part two the database uh this is a a deep dive into try to gather all the information that we can uh from State agencies specifically the Department of Health the county has databases on um private wells and in um uh gas station um uh underground storage tanks uh septic systems those type of things things so we try to inventory all that we we have created a database and we're updating that database as we get new information as well um and make sure that we have that information available as needed and then again uh identify potential contaminate sources and management and not and try to this part of the plan identify strategies to try to mitigate as much as we can um contaminant getting into our our ground water and that's the gist of the plan is to try you know what are what what can we do to try to limit as much as of the contaminants um service contaminates for getting in into our groundwater and impacting our our drinking water and then uh we do have a wellhe protection evaluation program that's basically looks at our plan um over time and and and if we need to adjust or something's not working out if we need to improve on certain areas you know we'll we review that plan the plan um on a on um on a regular basis just to make sure that we're um doing the best we can to uh to uh protect our groundwater and then alternate water supply contingency strategies as well that kind of relates back to our um our comp plan and our our groundwater management plan and how what we going to manage our our water um in an event that there is emergency that takes place so that's all part of this plan so again potential contaminant sources um majority of the contaminants are you know septic systems or or Wells uh that are you know direct conduits to our aquifer so we want to make sure that you know the specifically like um private Wells are maintained and um if they're not being used that you know will incentivize um private owners for for capping those Wells uh so that that that kind of wood is uh that risk is is uh decreased and then also again monitoring um storage tanks chemicals um and known chemical hazardous chemicals within the youin the community as well and then also if there's an accident happens within the community um traffic accident where there's a a spill we need to monitor that in inventory as well so um based upon all the data that we've collected uh this graph shows you what um what is in our dsma area so majority of the uh potential um contaminate sources uh would relate to Wells um and then we'll also Fuel and chemical storage areas that those are mainly like gas stations and um in other facilities like that contaminant spills may be a a hazardous spill that happened within the community in the past just have a database associated with that and then hazardous generate uh waste generators that could be actually like Dennis dentist offices or medical office type of facilities as well and we go down from there with septic systems and petroleum pipelines and natural gas um gas lines as well so again our goal is to maintain or improve the current water uh quality within our community so our strategies our goals are you know we're going to be working with Farmington on that little piece in Farmington that is in our dsma so um portion of that area is developed currently but uh portion is still yet to develop so making sure that they're aware of that um providing information to the public and promoting activities that protect uh groundwater sources this is um specifically we're going to partner with Dakota County on uh maybe uh going after grants for dollars through U for well sealing of of private Wells and then also septic systems as well so there's some Grant dollars out there that we might try to to Leverage partner with Dakota County on that uh City will continue to comply um compile a data and water supply observation Wells and and gather the data as much as we can put that in our GIS system and that's for future planning um and and future um you know needs within the city and just looking at uh different U you know future developments potential or redevelopments in some of these areas a lot of the wells that we have are the environmental areas I should um those are it it's all feel fully developed so there's um very little redevelop or new development would take place in there but we just want to make sure that we're monitoring that you know the zoning is is up to the zoning is um consistent with our Wellhead protection plan and that that's being considered into you know future potential redevelopments if necessary and then our Wellhead protection management actions uh again we're going to be um um encouraging sealing of of private Wells again we're going to be working with the county on that initiative U maintaining our databases within within the city encouraging um proper operations and maintenance of septic systems and Wells as well um there's some good flyers and information on um out there for public um for private owners to how how to best maintain their Wells making sure that contaminants are are are far away from um um from the Wellhead itself and then public education we'll get some public education out on a consistent basis and then a data collection as necessary and with that that's a quick synopsis of the Wellhead protection plan that the Wellhead plan is out on the website currently and uh if there's any questions I'll would be happy to address them okay any questions Joshua well that was helpful I I was this to me is dense material trying to read it in the packet so your explanations on everything is helpful um couple questions one about the piece that's in Farmington I'm I'm guess I'm assuming then that means that those protection areas do not overlap so all of those DW smas I think is what you said the drinking water the yeah the supply area yeah there's another agency that determines that and they don't overlap based on city well the they they can so I mean farmington's or burnsville's of Wells could potentially U overlap with our dsma and within our community too so we need to work collaboratively with other agencies to make sure that they're you know their dissmas are being maintained you know to our standards too vice versa so you it's a partnership so so and again the the dsas are are are delineated or determined by U modeling of the the groundwater movements and it's a it's a it's pretty intense how um how the the engineers can determine exactly what the the tenar delineation is for any particular you know water getting on the surface making into the aquifer and potentially into our wells so do we have um sensors or how do we detect contaminants um are the are there things at each of our Wells that detect contaminants coming in or is that all done through the the water treatment facility Well it's it's well we we do take water samples um at our our our wells and then U also we do take samples at our water treatment facility as well too um on a regular basis to make sure that we don't have any contaminates getting in there and that's another requirement of the Department of Health to take so many samples um every year uh to make sure that our Weller quality is is uh meets the state and federal standards finally just to be clear that 105 well number that those are private Wells right that's correct yeah because we don't have that many Wells no we the city maintains 18 um operating Wells we have one emergency well 105 is is is private Wells um and you know they they could be um you know being used on a daily basis or not being used at all and we want to make sure that um you know Property Owners know the proper um techniques and making sure how to how to maintain those Wells if they're still using and if they're not you know we want to talk to them about potentially capping them and there might be some funds um in the future to help provide that that thank you yep I believe this is a public hearing right so I will now open it up to the public if there's any comments on our 781 page po well head part two document all right seeing none I will take a motion to close the public hearing so moved there a second second all those in favor close the hearing say I I I thank Mr Omi thank you so um so we'll be sending this document to the Department of Health they'll review it and then in a future uh Council pack and maybe the consent item agenda will have a uh approval at at that time very good consideration thank you thank you 40 some pages you didn't read the append no the full one's 780 uh okay moving on to Item B the public hearing to vacate easement and consider final plat of Interstate second edition and we have Chris oig from Probe I don't we have a staff report first okay have our economic development director Tina goodroad give us oh okay Chris you're Chris you're gonna go for okay very good I was uh told to have about keep it under a minute so I'm Chris oig with probe engineering um representing uh Interstate Power Systems um in a nutshell they uh service tractors and trailers Specialty Trucks like dump trucks garbage trucks that kind of thing uh large generators and they are looking to expand their parking lot which is what is driving the need for the plat which is in turn driving the need for the vacation of the underlying easements which will be reestablished in their new appropriate locations based on the new PL any questions I'm sure I'll be around okay very good yep mayor members of the council um I did have a couple of slides that will just reiterate what he said um but um here is a picture of the location it's just south of 205th Street and High View it's 21568 um High View Avenue and um as a gentleman mentioned Interstate leville property LLC has applied for a pimary plat um the easements that need to be vacated are over the two lots so in order to um combine this property into one lot we need to go through this process and then remove these easement and they'll be replaced with a new plat and this just shows the configuration of where those new parking stalls would be located on that adjacent lot which will be combined into one they'll have access from their existing business um the pavement um what you're not seeing on the screen I didn't put all of the sheets in here is um different storm water ponding areas that will be provided as well as Landscaping um but this is a very straightforward um item meets all of our zoning requirements um they are finalizing some of the storm water so we will come back with a development contract that will be on a future consent agenda but just to keep this rolling and um decided to tie the final plat tonight with the public hearing for the vacation of the easements and I stand for any questions any questions all right this is a public hearing so I'll open it up if there's any public comments see none I'll take a motion to close the public hearing so moved is there a second all in favor say I I I public hearing is closed very good what else do we have to do the action item okay for the approval final CL any further discussion about this otherwise I'll take a motion for yep Dan I'll make the motion okay um I move that we approve the vacation of drainage and utility easements and approve the final plat of Interstate second edition okay is there a second second any discussion on the motion to approve the plan okay roll call please bulk I hel hi burmel I Walter I Lee I very good thank you yep uh moving to item C Autumn Hill preliminary plat on behalf of Let's see we have Bob weager and then also Tina welcome Bob assum you're Bob excuse me are you Bob I am welcome mayor council members young field homes is excited to propose their 54 unit town home in one detached town home project for the southeast quadrant of DOD Boulevard in 185th Street the the plan includes a nice variety of uh Rambler and Lookout and full walkout type Lots in conjunction with four four plan options after approvals the intent is to complete site grading and infrastructure in installation in one phase and Steve saber with uh Youngfield is also here tonight and we'll stand for any questions you may have thank you okay very good Miss goodro welcome back thank you all right so just uh highlight a few um points from the staff report again the property location is highlighted um at the corner of 185th and DOD um the property is zoned and guided um or it's cons this proposal is consistent with the underlying land use as well as the zoning of the rst2 which allows um Town Homes as a permitted use um this is the layout it's pretty straightforward they do have access from um the South as well as an additional access at 185th and then there will be an access to the east um when klano Third Edition develops um the grading plan does allow for a nice mixture of slab Lookout and walkout lots and then the Landscaping plan ises a good job of buffering particularly along 185th and long DOD um as well as buffering between the two neighborhoods on the South Side there also planning for uh tree within every lot and then also um providing buffering um Landscaping I should say Foundation Landscaping rather than buffering around each of the homes the um elevations um they have several um four different models um it does a nice job with um the different types of textures for the um sighting as well as the ston work or brick work as well as the different roof lines to provide a lot of variety um to the homes so that top this sheet shows the Redwood and the mver um both front and back and then the River Birch and the teak um the Planning Commission did hold a public hearing at their meeting on April 4th and there were no comments from the public during that public hearing and then um the Planning Commission did rep unanimously recommend approval and I would stand for any questions and alsoo any questions Joshua um just about uh um landscape screening on DOD and 185th is there a grade change there too that's it's a busy road in terms of noise and I'm curious if there's an elevation change between the houses and the road I haven't studied the elevation plan as detailed as um um plany manager Jensen has but um perhaps Bob you describe the difference of the elevation don't know I did not include that oh sure that's great thank you long 185th from uh DOD Boulevard it's about a 3% plus grade going to the east so you can see the the grade falls off pretty dramatically and not everybody can read Contours but all those lines along 185th the little Dash lines that's two feet so there's quite a bit of fall along there so those row of Twin Homes will pretty much be Lookouts or walkouts so they're going to follow the grade along dad there's less less fall but um those are also Lookouts a full walk out will drop approximately 8 ft garage to the background and a lookout will drop 5 feet rough examples in the area in the interior you see less less Contours so those will be a rambler type lot so there isn't an option on many projects we've done in Lakeville along busy streets you'll have less grade change so you can get a 2 or three foot burm in and then install vegetation on top and have a nice screening this isn't the case with this type of uh gray drop on both streets that's so we're we're relying on the vegetation uh for the screening in this project yeah are and uh there's quite a bit of ve vegetation proposed obviously it's going to take some years for them to mature and grow together so they're going to provide a visual screen not so much on a sound barrier by any means but the visual screen will be there Goa thank you I don't know if this question came up in planning why 54 attached in one it's not going to change my mind by I'm just like is it just the space that you could fit one more on there okay that's exactly it very good other questions if not I'll take a motion to approve I uh move to approve a resolution approving the autum hill preliminary plat is there a second second okay any further discussion see none roll call please vulk I helier hi vermal I Walter hi Lee I very good we're looking forward to it congratulations uh moving on to items eight and nine unfinish a new business I don't believe we have any tonight um announcements um the next work session is back at
