Stafford said the city has been coordinating moves to maintain public-safety services during construction, with county service-building space being used in September and administrative staff temporarily located in the former DMV building. She announced that the city's new city administrator, Jeff Dahl, will begin July 28; Stafford said Dahl previously served in Wayzata and worked as a community development intern in Woodbury.

Stafford also noted Mayor Anne Burt received the League of Minnesota Cities' emerging leadership award and reminded commissioners of July 4 celebrations at the Healthy Sports Center. She said the city is beginning a five-year comprehensive-plan implementation review.

All remarks were delivered as a council-member report; no formal planning actions were tied to the update.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","Woodbury Planning Commission 6-30-2025","oneSentenceSummary","Council member Estana Stafford briefed the planning commission on construction progress for the Woodbury Public Safety Building, the incoming city administrator, community events and the start of a five-year comprehensive-plan review.","taxTitle","Woodbury City, Washington County, Minnesota","taxId",5011,"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},6181722,"Planning commission recommends approval of indoor pickleball club at 390 Commerce Drive",1420,3646000,5066000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5112382-4779ca52b7988f7e5757e322a6d48718&start=3646&end=5066","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5112382-4779ca52b7988f7e5757e322a6d48718/thumbnail_3646000.jpg","/articles/6181722/Minnesota/Planning-commission-recommends-approval-of-indoor-pickleball-club-at-390-Commerce-Drive","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6181722-c0834321ec8ec99b5d8689f4acb07e7c/orig.mp4?Expires=1771140882&Signature=oCeYPb6eXK2LmfpsruLhL-X3859vbC9EH-VXMfvUy3V1GGXFHO7y4I5wpe17DiRpCTekXJfUPjjoMh90FkbS~vZjRkwfdl8ssIg6~d6SeAaSkUam4Zupx7W0Uwv~eJDK~qXAkPIxj2tZLBBCs~MtsV~Qpi~o8yzrOGK~AWzqIFoDBcpEp6Q32WFdCpH2s2SYx7OoqVaebG7Tpcp~WlKbCj1jpUPHIRiOLZ908axjKsp0Ot48ORCilLe4qc-BGNVaj03jcKBJB~TWkHaU5PNgoMG94Bmv2R~TEGR~o21T5Hkidvsq-vCWbuueQyy5G2aH~KKt2FtsGXKCmZL~ZlLUuA__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","WOODBURY, Minn. — The Woodbury Planning Commission on June 30 recommended approval of a conditional use permit to allow an indoor pickleball club at 390 Commerce Drive, where the applicant proposes eight indoor courts within an existing 65,000-square-foot building.

The applicant, S and F Corporation, proposed occupying 22,000 square feet for commercial recreation — a use that requires a conditional use permit because it exceeds 5,000 square feet. Staff member Dan told commissioners that the building currently contains approximately 171 parking stalls and that the proposed recreation use would require about 73 stalls (based on a 1 stall per 300 square feet ratio); staff said the remaining building area would be retained for office and warehouse uses and that peak pickleball hours are expected to occur opposite daytime business-park peaks.

Staff recommended approval, subject to conditions in the staff report, and commissioners added an additional condition requiring a full exterior lighting and security plan. \"Staff recommends approval of the conditional use permit project number 03-2025-00581 for the indoor pickleball club subject to the conditions found within your staff report,\" Dan said. The planning commission voted to recommend approval; the item will go to the city council public hearing on July 16.

Key details: The applicant proposes eight courts in 22,000 square feet, proposed hours of operation from 6 a.m. to midnight and a mixed-use model with some office space and potential coworking in the front portion of the building. The applicant said it intends to lease the whole building if the permit is approved and described access-control measures and membership and drop-in play options.

Commissioners asked about parking, lighting, building condition and sound separation between the warehouse courts and office space. Staff said the building has been well maintained from prior tenant investments and that wall construction between office and warehouse provides substantial sound separation; staff and commissioners agreed that a lighting/security plan should be added as a permit condition. The commission also discussed and affirmed an explicit cap in the approval: the permit limits the commercial recreation to the proposed 22,000 square feet unless an amended conditional use permit is granted.

Action taken: Commissioner John Collum moved to recommend approval with the added lighting and security condition; the motion carried by voice vote. The planning commission's recommendation will be considered by the city council at its July 16 public hearing.","Commissioners recommended approval of a conditional use permit for an 8-court indoor pickleball facility occupying 22,000 square feet at 390 Commerce Drive, subject to conditions including a lighting and security plan; the recommendation moves to city council on July 16.",{"_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},6181727,"Planning commissioners give feedback on proposed 9-lot subdivision at 4255 Wood Lane Drive",2715,930000,3645000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5112382-4779ca52b7988f7e5757e322a6d48718&start=930&end=3645","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5112382-4779ca52b7988f7e5757e322a6d48718/thumbnail_930000.jpg","/articles/6181727/Minnesota/Planning-commissioners-give-feedback-on-proposed-9-lot-subdivision-at-4255-Wood-Lane-Drive","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6181727-8a39335c6db92763ce7c95afdb0ea71d/orig.mp4?Expires=1771140882&Signature=bjJKKdoQWc0SdwjDlzdNZIFECGngdEAFz0Fr1P0i-~SLZ2B0m1KkGjSMB8XyiWds82MTuFCAYzyPscgbABb-yJ6zTI1SejTLX-YrywE-zwe837vWTWmDoegOsEiKRM7RQTeqNpnWhh8H4hc07IL5d7D8WGbY6Z8kEgygxnKjN-LyzAEep4tPNQPEMc7hhMiU3aGGROY6OOY3JdxdIHmeomfDnO9BWImeSeGRPHfOhf9IfF81REMyHABTcB3QXddu3M3NHahe4kCNk9n9clwmtZTvN2QUEZ3jvtcQRqtqRJWv7o1IDAyFeRKHz2rjS1CItc1KwEfVcLdY4mvjmgylHw__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","WOODBURY, Minn. — Developers for a proposed 9-lot planned unit development at 4255 Wood Lane Drive asked the Woodbury Planning Commission on June 30 for concept-level feedback on a requested comprehensive-plan amendment and reduced lot sizes.

The applicant is seeking to reguide the parcel from rural estate (one unit per three acres) to urban estate (one unit per one acre) and to allow lots averaging roughly 0.77 acre, down from a proposed one-acre standard. Staff described the concept as a tool for early feedback and said no formal approvals occur at the council level during the concept-PUD stage.

Why it matters: The site sits adjacent to Arbor Ridge and near a municipal drinking-water well; staff and the applicant said connecting to city sewer and water would reduce aquifer drawdown and septic contamination risks compared with further private wells and drain fields. Commissioners also raised neighborhood, connectivity, tree-preservation and stormwater questions that could change lot configuration as the project advances.

The applicant, represented by Todd Olin of Land and Resource Consulting, said the proposal would include two cul-de-sacs, a 10-foot bituminous trail along the south side of Hargis Parkway and extension of water and sewer stubs into the site. \"There's a strong, strong desire for it,\" Olin said referring to market interest in larger lots. A staff presenter identified the controlling code provision for the concept process as \"code section 24 2 0 7\" and summarized the concept-PUD steps: neighborhood meeting, planning commission review and city council review.

Commissioners pressed on several items that staff said will be resolved in later stages: stormwater basin sizing (the largest remaining variable), tree-inventory and grading impacts, sidewalk/trail connections and the odd-shaped right-of-way area along the south side of Hargis that results from a school-district easement. Commissioners suggested design changes such as swapping lot lines (to meet minimum widths), resizing cul-de-sac right-of-way where appropriate, adding a connector trail through the subdivision to the adjacent school and preserving perimeter trees.

Staff asked commissioners to weigh whether the site should be treated as an \"urban estate\" buffer zone between denser neighborhoods to the east and more rural parcels to the west and south. Staff said the comprehensive-plan designation could be revisited during the citywide 2050 plan, but that, given existing and anticipated utility extension, staff views the parcel as an appropriate transitional site for one-acre density. Staff emphasized the concept-review nature of the hearing: \"No comments, suggestion, remarks, or observation made by city staff, the planning commission, or the city council shall be binding on the city for future stages.\"

What remains to be decided: final lot dimensions, exact stormwater-basin footprint and detailed utility design. Commissioners and the applicant noted the neighborhood meeting on June 18 had 16 participants; neighbors at the June 30 meeting reiterated concerns about grading, stormwater and tree impacts. Staff recommended future review steps and that the applicant include the trail construction and utility extension plans in future submittals.

The planning commission provided feedback but did not take a formal vote on the concept PUD; staff said a full planned-unit-development application with detailed civil plans and stormwater modeling would follow if the applicant chooses to proceed.

For now, the applicant will consider commissioners' suggestions on lot sizing, connector paths and the basin location and return with more detailed engineering, grading and tree-preservation information at the next review stage.","Developers seek a comprehensive-plan change and reduced lot sizes for a 9-lot planned unit development at 4255 Wood Lane Drive; commissioners recommended design tweaks, connectivity and stormwater study but no formal vote was taken during the concept review.","actionData","errors"]
