over to our applicant Mr Davis to give us a rundown and then we'll have a staff report mayor and city council thank you so much for having us tonight we're excited to be back to do another project in your great City uh we've got a uh a two-phase project the first one we're presenting tonight uh it's a 14,000 ft building it's uh been leased by Midwest ENT they're a great group long-term uh client of ours and they're really excited to uh uh to come to Lakeville and uh and move their practice into your community um we've got a second similar size site that we'll bring later on we've got lots of interest in uh in Lakeville and and many groups that we know and and work with that are F have focused their uh efforts really on the growth and and the great Community you have and so I've got Pat Gana the lead architect here tonight and two people from Allon engineering the Civil group and traffic group if there's questions that you have as you go through your discussion okay very good thank you so much yep you mayor and councel um I'll just highlight a few things um before we turn over to discussion and any more questions of the applicant um but Mark a Davis Davis hre Representatives have submitted plans for a preliminary plat um for Sundance Lakeville which does include two commercial Lots it's located just north of 162nd Street or County Road 46 and west of Buck Hill Road um the proposed property is Zone C3 and if you recall last fall we approved a comprehensive plan Amendment um to ruide um some of the property where the town homes um Town Homes will be located for high density um the total acreage is 18. 75 acres and so both um with that land use Amendment both the medical office buildings and the Housing Development will be in compliance with both zoning and land use this is the preliminary plat so they're proposing to create one block um in two lots for the two Medical Office Buildings and out Lot B for the remaining property that will be PL in the future for um the rental town homes and as you can see the property abouts 162nd Street and Buck Hill Road um there is a East West Private Drive that will be constructed up to a point to serve the medical office buildings initially that road will continue over to Kendale Drive in the future um when the residential portion of the development is completed a maintenance agreement will be required with a final plat approval um it will be evaluated um by staff um for details on construction maintenance as well as snow removal and that'll be a requirement of the final plot the county did review the project during their um their plat review um this site plan does show um the two buildings in relationship with the rest of the development and 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 and so that will happen at a point we do not have a date specific I am expecting that the residential development will be built out um they'll test warrants and determine when um it is the right time to make that closure so the private Drive will allow for full access um for the public as well as use by the medical buildings and anybody entering the residential area and again the private Drive will be built as a city Street it'll function just like a city street with the agreements that we're putting into place some of the other details on the site plan um as Mr Davis said first building um in phase one is a little over almost 14,000 square fet and phase two is about 12,076 um Square F feet both projects um will meet um requirements for parking on an individual basis but there will be a cross access parking Arrangement so that you could park over that property line depending on which medical building you are going to um the first phase is required to provide 63 spaces and they're providing 73 and Phase 2 is required to provide 54 spaces and they're um allocating 57 so they are meeting all of those parking requirements um for the use and then on the Landscaping plan they're proposing a variety of um Evergreens as well as overstory um and ornamental trees around AB budding the property along County Road 46 Buck Hill Road the private drive as well as interior to the site to really break up um the parking lot and to provide some green space and then along the building perimeter so all of the Landscaping requirements are being satisfied um as Mr Davis mentioned they do have a tenant for this first building um this is a rendering of the elevation it's going to consist of um bricks Stone um glass and some architectural metal um where the signage is um focused all of the re um requirements for design for the C3 District are being met um with this elevation and then here's a peak sneak peek of phase two and what that building will look like the Planning Commission did hold a public hearing on June 20th and they unanimously recommended approval at that meeting and I would stand for any questions or the applicant okay Council any questions or comments josa one question about thank you to the microphone people um my apologies are could you explain a little bit more about how the maintenance agreement works for the new Access Road that'll be constructed when you say it functions as a city street what does that actually entail it means um well from a 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 so if there's potholes and so forth so the underlying ownership of these lots and blocks will own it it works in this scenario because we're dealing with just a couple of entities we're dealing with um Mr Davis's entity for the medical office buildings and then we're dealing with um I think I believe it's Timberland the underlying owners of the rental property and so those two um through both of those final plats will enter into the same agreement for that maintenance um for the construction first and foremost so just like any development that has to build a city street we include those requirements into a development contract we will include that into our development contract and then have additional maintenance agreement um for again the long-term maintenance as well as the snow removal there's a chance we may work um with these entities and provide that snowplow service that is an option we can work with Public Works about that um but we want this street to for all intents of purposes operate for the neighborhood that may have to use it eventually um when that access is changed as well as any visitors to the medical facility and the new residents thank you other questions um my my question has to do with the plat commission recommendation I have to admit maybe maybe it's just cuz I'm new I I I don't recall a plat commission recommendation like this before is it is it uncommon I I after watching the the hearing um the Planning Commission hearing um I have to say I I agree I with with the concerns raised about that limiting of the left turn so talk to us a little bit about that flat commission and obviously we're not there yet it's it's when the residential development happens but how does that all work yeah um thank you um council member Walter I I was not the Planner on this um Frank attended those meetings um I think you know the County's going to look at um I think the ideas been kind of sometime in thinking is my understanding of the county in knowing that as these neighborhoods in this area have developed we've had this 18.75 Acres remain undeveloped and so it's just a matter of time with this amount of impact at how it's going to impact the functionality of Kendall and the county is all about access and making sure that flow is maintained and so I think that's where they're coming from um with this change because of this development but it's going to take the full development of both the medical office as well as the residential to have those trips to cause that change I hope that answers your question thank you okay oh sorry Michelle um just a quick thought so if they were to change that on Kendall what about a across the street from them behind the um bowling alley I don't know the name of the street I just know that it's there it's almost like cross the street I mean cross 46 would they also limit left turn out of there then too because you can turn left there I believe that is an excellent question I don't know the answer to that I don't know if the engineer knows he may be able to help me answer that one hello uh Nick Rage with Aline engineering on the south side of kendel it's actually already restricted to a three4 you can't make a left out there um you can make a left out at the South Lake at Buck Hill Road um so the county is already when they built that intersection they already restricted the south side and the intent is to match the north leg with the South Side so that's okay per the per the county I think you the map T behind Bolero into the neighborhood you can't right sorry Justus yeah we we might call this the Daryl Mory um Memorial intersection because I know he they fought long and hard over this when the Bolero project came in um if you look at the aerial it kind of veers to the right I see now and so that prevents you from making that left turn got it so it's yeah okay I see that all right thank you I only live over around there but I just I don't remember it's my understanding from the traffic study as well that the natural traffic uh increase of um 160th is going to increase over time and so that is part of that planning it's not that this particular development in and of itself is going to cause that additional change or that trigger to restrict that access but that it's in the next 10 15 20 years years it's the the natural increase of just density around the area yeah the cumulative impact correct M yeah unfortunately it's like a state highway not a County Road um question for you on Kendale I know it's not necessarily honest you know when you drive there now it's like a minor kind of Road can you talk a little bit about how the enhancements will go eventually there I think we're adding curb and gutter and those type of things so it'll feel yeah and the reason I say that I know that that came up quite a bit in the pl commission people are concerned about the capacity and so forth my understanding and the engineer can correct me if I'm wrong but it'll be you know urbanized improvements plus a sidewalk along Kendale okay um this is not a public hearing but we typically will open it up if there's anyone in public to comment I don't think there's anybody for that okay Council any further questions otherwise I will take a motion I I do have one more question I guess so with the agreement being that it's a private road um and because it's so costly to how I want to say take care of the asphalt um and is there like a trigger between the city saying you really need to do something and um because it's private usually you probably only can make a suggestion but if enough people are using it as if it's a city street because of the housing development behind there and not being able to make a left turn any longer and then they're going to utilize it type of thing um I guess I'm just trying to make sure I'm trying to understand in the agreement how how strongly we can encourage to make sure that that streets kept up since it's private thank you that's a great question um we haven't worked out the details of the maintenance agreement that will be part of the final plat it'll be part um it'll be a a statement in the development contract that a maintenance agreement has to be created prepared and agreed to um I just made note of that I don't know if the attorney wants to um add any comments but my assumption is we can work with them on some of those kinds of points of wear and tear and so forth that we observe in terms of um getting them to pay attention to it um mayor members of the council I'm Amy Schmidt just by way of introduction I'm filling in for Andrea tonight um I I think the the answer is already been said that you know in 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 if that answers your question how many agreements do we have like that across the city the one I'm most familiar with is that exist is idealic way through Heritage Commons that north south roadway through Heritage Commons is a private street that doesn't get a lot of I'm 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 um because I've run into a situation or two where I've asked oh you know there's some potholes da d da d da and those were private uh exits from businesses it's Etc you know and so I that's the reason it kind of concerned me is because all we could do is make the suggestion now the business did take care of it but um after the suggestion was made but that's just a small area not a full Street that's going to be getting car traffic I mean there's going to be car traffic so would the agreement though have you know kind of language in there that the city can hold them responsible I mean so unlike you know an apron out of a so there would be we could enforce a contract language if it's not being upheld I think right yes yes okay I guess I would strongly make sure that we have that pretty tight so that if we make the suggestion based on engineering as they you know looking at streets and we'd also have to encourage that our Engineers just because it's a private Street should be going over there to check the status of the asphalt to see where it's laying in the um process of when it needs to have an overlay Etc y so just because it's private don't set it aside exactly understood it was very similar to my question I just want to make sure that we're able to write something in there about the the asphalt standards but is there any also any kind of a escrow that they'd be required to to set aside because I know that once these things uh need to happen there you know they're not cheap road maintenance is has a cost and would there be any kind of esro that they would need to to put into to make sure that the money is there excuse me when the uh time comes there certainly would be throughout the construction and for the completion and you know basically um some language in terms of the acceptance of the construction to determine that it's built to City standards long-term escrow I'm not certain if that's typical in these kind of maintance agreements no okay uh I think we kind of Dove right into the traffic and the details of the of the project but I just want to say I think this is a good project um commercial development we need medical uh building in space so I appreciate the uh developer bringing it forward and with that I'm happy to move approval I have moved to approve the preliminary plat of Sundance Lakeville is there a second second any further discussion about no discussion but just a a comment just acknowledging the work that the Planning Commission and the residents that attended those uh meetings did to flush out some of those concerns I know that there are con there are other conversations that will continue as the remainder of this plat is is developed um so just appreciate the the time and continued effort there so well said anyone else okay that roll call please vulk I helier I FML I Walter I Lee I very good thank you Tina uh moving on to unfinish a new business I don't think we have any announcements next regular city council meeting is Monday July 15th at 6 o'clock our next work session is July 22nd and don't forget that we have fireworks on Thursday at centry middle school and pan prog starts slowly on Saturday with a crick tournament and finish a strong week after that with that I'll take a motion to adjourn so moved there second second all those in favor say I I
