City Planner Brian McCann summarized the application as a multi-part request: a preliminary plat, conditional use permits for an accessory car wash and accessory gas pumps, rezoning from agricultural to C-2 and a comprehensive plan amendment. McCann described the project site as a roughly 4.14-acre parcel within a larger 48-acre tract and said the applicant proposes a 9,100-square-foot convenience store with 10 gas pumps, a single-lane car wash and a total of 63 parking spaces. \"They're proposing a 9,100 square foot convenience store with the gas pumps and carwash,\" McCann said. He also noted the minimum parking requirement in the city's code is 33 spaces and the proposal provides 63.

Staff and applicant materials, including a traffic study, were discussed. The traffic analysis recommended a right-turn lane into the Kwik Trip site from the internal Road A; the applicant has included that lane in the revised site plan. City staff secured a condition required of the applicant to address potential future traffic safety or emergency-response concerns at the Road A intersection: if future traffic warrants additional improvements at that intersection, the developer must fund and perform the warranted analysis and necessary improvements. Planning staff also said the county's full corridor improvements at County Road 11 are not scheduled until 2028; until then the developer must construct temporary full left and right turn lanes to provide safe site access.

Staff outlined site and infrastructure specifics: utilities will be extended from the adjacent Victoria Ridge development; stormwater facilities for this commercial site will be privately located in a drainage and utility easement and will be maintained by Kwik Trip under a stormwater maintenance agreement required by the Carver County WMO; park dedication for the commercial parcel was calculated at roughly $21,000 per the city's fee schedule; and landscape requirements include a 30 percent minimum open space and a 30-foot landscape buffer between the Kwik Trip site and the Victoria Ridge high-density apartments. Planner Kara (planning staff) noted the berm along that buffer had to be reduced to accommodate a required fire turnaround and that the project is deficient by about 14 trees relative to the standard berm requirement.

Applicant representatives responded to council questions. Lisa Watson, Kwik Trip real estate manager, said, \"The front of the store is in front of the pumps,\" and described store layout choices intended to provide multiple customer entrances; she also confirmed the west-side sidewalk would serve pedestrian access and said the applicant would consider adding an additional sidewalk connection when the regional trail is built. The project's civil engineer said they have begun coordinating with Xcel Energy regarding an encroachment/permit for a power-line easement that crosses the site and expect to finalize that during final plat and related permit submittals.

The Planning Commission held a public hearing, published notice and mailed adjacent-property notices; it recommended unanimous approval (7-0) on Jan. 7 with conditions now incorporated into the staff report. After questions and staff clarifications, Councilmember Roberts moved to approve the preliminary plat, rezoning and conditional use permits with staff conditions; the motion was seconded and carried by voice vote. The council then authorized submittal of the comprehensive plan amendment for the site in a separate motion; that motion also carried.

Council action approves the preliminary entitlements and advances the proposal to final plat and detailed site-plan review where architecture, signage, lighting and final engineering will be reviewed and permits obtained prior to construction.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","City of Victoria Regular Council Meeting - Jan 27 2025","oneSentenceSummary","The City Council approved a preliminary plat, rezoning to C-2 community commercial, conditional use permits for an accessory car wash and gas pumps, and authorized submission of a comprehensive plan amendment for the Kwik Trip site (store #1792) on County Road 11.","taxTitle","City of Victoria, Carver County, Minnesota","taxId",64164,"location","Minnesota","headline","","shortSummary",{"_33":77,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":78,"_41":79,"_43":80,"_45":81,"_47":82,"_49":83,"_51":84,"_53":85,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":86,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":87,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":74,"_75":74},6333910,"Council accepts Planning Commission—27s denial of appeal to rescind building permit at 6315 Smithtown Road",250,961000,1211000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2300465-932d6b4bfef5933545a1da1e8b0d83ce&start=961&end=1211","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2300465-932d6b4bfef5933545a1da1e8b0d83ce/thumbnail_961000.jpg","/articles/6333910/Minnesota/Council-accepts-Planning-Commission27s-denial-of-appeal-to-rescind-building-permit-at-6315-Smithtown-Road","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6333910-9ee795aceaabda645971bd28359119b6/orig.mp4?Expires=1770447533&Signature=BoP4sO-oJ0-O5wDe9wZoRqzq25Q7-zbyEq1xC38JPqCGm6mmes6ub5EVmA7e8BVF9ZDtAmcktwp8Ly5CF2w-rSK41TBsbYsd5BHkW5AiIW~SrGlCbzvluXUEHQBnOEmRcrnAmqnzgq6n01FjZuhIuBsvk6c69pPddHy9Nds8TJWVMA0vVCaXhMbu1kjbOHmTjl51sQRgOYsQXErJh1ttX2wDH~WxrjMc0WlSvyA5LR0QRWhZBtpZ-IIAsbPsWSY8qktxxHArp6sqQef6suW0XJHx13~juDgMoVrz519rd92I3i4fS-AgszOQOnFz~g-OHp2TMm6XdHisGdVRCQ9k~Q__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Victoria City Council accepted the decision of the Board of Adjustments and Appeals to deny an appeal of a building permit for a property at 6315 Smithtown Road.

City Planner Brian McCann summarized the case on the record: \"Our zoning code says that the Planning Commission shall act as the Board of Adjustments and Appeals when appeals come through.\" McCann said the Board held a hearing Dec. 17, 2024; the appellant and attorneys and several neighbors spoke and asked the board to rescind the building permit. McCann reported the building official and associate planner completed their reviews and that the Board denied the appeal, finding the three claims unjustified and that the permit met applicable building and zoning regulations.

One councilmember who said he previously served on the Board of Adjustments and is familiar with the neighborhood — identified in the record as Councilmember Pedersen — told residents the board had researched state statutes and local ordinances and found the permit complied with requirements. Councilmember Pedersen said staff and the board concluded the structure met the applicable standards.

Councilmember Pedersen moved to accept the Board of Adjustments decision; a second was made. The council voted by voice and the mayor declared the motion carried.

The appellant\u000027s three claims, as summarized on the record, were that the structure was not a single-family home as the permit stated, that the garage should be considered detached despite a connecting corridor, and related zoning concerns; the board found those claims unjustified. The council\u000027s action was limited to accepting the board\u000027s decision as required by city ordinance; no further council action was recorded on the item.","The City Council voted to accept the Planning Commission (acting as the Board of Adjustments and Appeals) decision denying an appeal of a building permit for property at 6315 Smithtown Road.",{"_33":89,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":90,"_41":91,"_43":92,"_45":93,"_47":94,"_49":95,"_51":96,"_53":97,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":98,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":99,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":74,"_75":74},6333915,"Council approves exclusive development rights agreement with Victoria DW LLC for Downtown West Phase 2",120,835000,955000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2300465-932d6b4bfef5933545a1da1e8b0d83ce&start=835&end=955","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2300465-932d6b4bfef5933545a1da1e8b0d83ce/thumbnail_835000.jpg","/articles/6333915/Minnesota/Council-approves-exclusive-development-rights-agreement-with-Victoria-DW-LLC-for-Downtown-West-Phase-2","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6333915-6cb20d718665c842483277835735fba0/orig.mp4?Expires=1770447533&Signature=STEXCNrzyDhD9TLqoL6UD8HGcJhQ-rHbvwyCvOtk4jKpMDvKonOeGYe6-Heyi~lKaNhuW36dJpWHwwwbuhDk6U8Btjxmy4r8kyUh~BvAsIbjTKLdXvKwEknc59aTJ5PABQmxEkY2xE08wGATj0xUg1wNgyTFHN~uLG2PkCf300rgkbrBDbK2hOZClSxDLYeiHaP8KE2lIyzu3BtvCZLvDiyXYPIJMiNojX~qKlKoUOj-N1qM9FrKDwX3rn8E0F3H8rcwBN5IxDCj6hFjinav4zExIeRJKkhdGTcMTuq-qlKHgaaB2ImLAdhuyhRB7YNP5Buq~5gedt4MrUM9O1Jehw__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Victoria City Council approved an exclusive development rights agreement with Victoria DW LLC for the Downtown West Phase 2 project.

City Manager Hardy told the council the staff report had a typo and that the correct entity is Victoria DW LLC; she said the same proposal previously reviewed by the council had formed a new entity to execute the project. \"Item 5.7 is to approve the exclusive development rights agreement with Victoria DW LLC,\" Hardy said.

Hardy said the city received three proposals in response to the request for proposals and the council had signaled it wanted to move forward with the Victoria DW team, which includes Monarch Development Group and other stakeholders. Councilmembers made and seconded a motion to approve the agreement; the council voted by voice and the mayor declared the motion carried.

No specific financial terms, timetable, or conditions beyond those noted in the staff report were stated on the record during the motion. Staff had pulled the item from the consent agenda to correct the entity name in the packet and to highlight the list of stakeholders associated with the selected proposal.

The approval grants the selected developer exclusive rights to negotiate and advance Phase 2 under the terms of the city's exclusive development rights agreement, subject to the agreement's final execution and any future approvals required by council when specific entitlements, plats or development agreements return to the council.

The council proceeded to other business after the vote.","The Victoria City Council voted to approve an exclusive development rights agreement with Victoria DW LLC, the entity representing the Monarch Development Group and other stakeholders, for Downtown West Phase 2.","actionData","errors"]
