Jim French, the applicant and developer, told the commission the plan calls for about 98 individual units across the buildings, with units of roughly 1,200 square feet and an anticipated sale price of about $185,000 per unit.

French said the development would be organized as a common interest community (CIC) with covenants and restrictions to control uses, require property‑management enforcement of exterior maintenance, and prohibit overnight residential occupancy. “No. No. No. These are strictly industrial spaces. There is no, you can and that is, like, in in in the covenants, but it’s also, not required or, not permitted anyways,” French said when commissioners asked whether people could live in the units. He said the CIC will also address parking management, rental or sublease review and security measures such as cameras.

Planning staff said the property is zoned I‑2 (general industrial) and guided for industrial uses in the comprehensive plan. Lot 1 would be about 8 acres and Outlot A approximately 12 acres; the proposed buildings meet or exceed setback requirements. Staff identified required revisions prior to council approval: four guest parking spaces must be shown on revised plans to meet the City Code requirement (the code requires three spaces plus one per 100 units for guest parking), and the applicant must submit final engineering, stormwater and landscaping details. Staff recommended approval subject to the nine stipulations in the planning memo dated Sept. 8, 2025.

Commissioners asked about unit count, price point and typical uses. French said the product serves a range of buyers — small business owners, hobbyists and people who need workshop/secure storage — and that units are commonly used for a mix of storage, light work and office functions. Commissioner Tinsley moved the recommendation; the motion passed by roll call. No members of the public spoke at the hearing.","The commission recommended City Council approval of a preliminary plat that creates an 8‑acre lot for a four‑building garage‑condo development (98 units), to be sold under a common interest community with covenants limiting residential occupancy and overnight stays.",{"_33":88,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":89,"_41":90,"_43":91,"_45":92,"_47":93,"_49":94,"_51":95,"_53":96,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":97,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":98,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},5978353,"Chart House seeks larger lakeside bar; planning commission backs shoreland variance and CUP amendment",742,1077000,1819000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5793334-2de6cc1c13c374a3f25e29c2bd5c0fbc&start=1077&end=1819","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5793334-2de6cc1c13c374a3f25e29c2bd5c0fbc/thumbnail_1077000.jpg","/articles/5978353/Lakeville-City/Dakota-County/Minnesota/Chart-House-seeks-larger-lakeside-bar-planning-commission-backs-shoreland-variance-and-CUP-amendment","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/5978353-c8c0adabc7ded8a199bc9689eca01da9/orig.mp4?Expires=1771200023&Signature=WS18TaRd2XqF83CZndtT5IZv2Ec5aLG8~rfXrFxcWd5HxSxO9LI9YmvLs-vvSdAs1WttXOM73g-OsPwEalQv91kKLeQEY13dGLAPe7kcQdN~nWTe~uk5rFM4iejd~wQ3de7dMVrGYAQXZII6zhEx6YItovuAXR1YrEj-TuWKwOYKN7200Bl8VXd4-Vrc1nmEFgyl5IyWUEfSoVlU84HAyk3BjNcmmoHSzcvyL6KnXvsQyl8uhiYr4rdF1t~8df7BWQKrV8wSFwG6A7VKAy4eEVzfXPOEjyk9nPLFHyKVY9K7ng-gA5sgZztjSfbhFw0U6ZSFFv4uf6mXZkr2UKSBRA__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Lakeville Planning Commission on Sept. 18 voted to recommend City Council approval of an amendment to the Chart House conditional‑use permit to exceed the Shoreland Overlay impervious‑surface limit and a variance from the lake setback. The applicant, George Maverick, owner of the Chart House, said he plans to replace the existing 1,600‑square‑foot outdoor bar with a new 2,660‑square‑foot structure, adding roughly 1,200 square feet of impervious surface to provide covered seating with five roll‑up doors and radiant floor heat to extend the shoulder season.

Planning staff described the property at 11287 Klamath Trail as zoned C‑3 (general commercial) and guided as commercial in Neighborhood Planning District 1. Staff said the shoreline regulations require a 150‑foot setback from Kingsley Lake’s ordinary high‑water line; the proposed new building would be at about 95 feet on the west side and about 107 feet at the closest north point. Staff reported that the property totals about 24 acres with roughly 17 acres of water and approximately 4.5 acres above the ordinary high‑water line. The site’s impervious surface under the new plan was calculated at about 43–46 percent, which is above the current 25 percent allowance but below the 48 percent permitted under a site‑specific conditional use permit originally approved in 1997. Staff recommended approval with stipulations covering stormwater, grading, exterior materials and other standard conditions.

“Right now it’s a small 1,600‑square‑foot building where everybody’s kinda hanging outside and gets rained on on a day like today,” George Maverick said, describing the proposed structure and its roll‑up doors. Planning staff noted the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources reviewed the proposal and recommended avoiding a public‑water permit if possible; otherwise DNR had minimal comments. Staff said the proposed location and the addition of a rain garden and stormwater treatment represented a site option with relatively lower environmental impacts.

Several commissioners expressed support. Commissioner Swanson said the site predates current shoreland rules and commented, “I’m comfortable with everything that’s being proposed with the amount of impervious surface on the site. I like the fact that you’re adding a rain garden … to work on improving water quality to Kingsley Lake.” The commission voted to forward the conditional‑use permit amendment and variance to the City Council subject to the seven stipulations listed in the planning memo dated Sept. 9, 2025.

No members of the public signed up or testified during the hearing.","Owner George Maverick asked to expand the Chart House patio bar and exceed shoreland impervious limits; staff recommended approval with stipulations and the planning commission voted to forward the conditional‑use permit amendment and variance to council.",{"_33":100,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":101,"_41":102,"_43":103,"_45":104,"_47":105,"_49":106,"_51":107,"_53":108,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":109,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":110,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},5978356,"Lakeville planning commission recommends 2026–2030 capital improvement plan to council",878,137000,1015000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5793334-2de6cc1c13c374a3f25e29c2bd5c0fbc&start=137&end=1015","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5793334-2de6cc1c13c374a3f25e29c2bd5c0fbc/thumbnail_137000.jpg","/articles/5978356/Lakeville-City/Dakota-County/Minnesota/Lakeville-planning-commission-recommends-20262030-capital-improvement-plan-to-council","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/5978356-3c557221196963eabbbc09bd0fe2a8dc/orig.mp4?Expires=1771200023&Signature=TOTQPP9H9PaDCtf9d6RuOx-ZC2yyA8MM~3KyaMWYKfu31Jppn3ZPmyTY~0wVnpx7wNmljhIEskul2Q1PhEbzd~gfozrycGTRitviJD4zgexE1tBCjW9Yx38cdGE~L9bPDfYeUNciNmwpk4HYkbFX-MkXPUEusBN1UWXu7xWrzH1Ia9kbMRHPaevpySACY7ddghfQU415UVX5SK80GZhabnqMUF71pR-DDVWi1qnkeorgnXyxv9xhE8LCrujGlHIGnMwQWM1RihH9hRjmICV5k2Qd6jSKQPMpbo6Q5BuWM1CjRkG3AFT7Dv-2m1SuDkcoyWhhWCrWc4GDe2YdCehWBw__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Lakeville Planning Commission on Sept. 18 voted to recommend that the City Council adopt the 2026–2030 Capital Improvement Plan, finding it consistent with the city’s 2040 comprehensive plan. The motion was moved by Commissioner Calusa and carried by roll call (Traffes, Palooza, Zimmer, Duckworth, Swanson, Hensley and others voting aye). Zach Johnson, the city engineer, presented the draft plan and described it as “a guide … used by city staff and officials to keep us running well today and also help us prepare to tomorrow’s future.”

The plan identifies nine infrastructure categories: transportation, utilities, parks and recreation, environmental resources, technology, equipment and facilities. Johnson highlighted next year’s pavement preservation program with Judicial Road on the west side of the city and a freight rail car storage project that would construct a 225‑car track to shift rail car storage out of County Road 50 and into the industrial park. He called the document a “living document” that can change as priorities and conditions evolve.

Key transportation items in the plan include expansion and modernization of Dodd Boulevard into a two‑lane divided roadway with turn lanes and trails, an interchange improvement at County Road 50 and Interstate 35 designed as a divergent‑diamond interchange (scheduled to begin construction in 2028 and estimated as a two‑year project), intersection improvements including proposed roundabouts, and a set of traffic‑signal replacements and new signals in 2026–27 intended to mitigate impacts from larger projects.

On utilities, Johnson said the plan programs maintenance work and capacity additions: repainting the Dakota Heights water tower in 2026, replacement wells and forecasting for two new wells programmed for 2028 (subject to growth and state permitting), and a water‑treatment facility expansion proposed for 2027. Facilities projects listed include a new community center opening in 2026, expansion of the central maintenance facility in 2027 and construction of Fire Station 5 starting in 2026.

Commissioners asked questions about cost sharing and water supply. Commissioner Swanson asked whether the Judicial Road pavement preservation project includes a cost share with the neighboring city; Johnson said the city shares that project 50/50 with the adjacent community and that the work is a mill‑and‑overlay pavement preservation project, not an expansion. Commissioner Travis asked how groundwater supply is assessed for new wells; Johnson said the city uses a demand model, coordinates with state permitting and plans wells only when projected volumes show additional supply is needed.

Commissioners also noted trade‑offs. One commissioner observed that the city’s debt level will increase as the plan is implemented. The commission approved the recommendation after discussion and thanked staff for the work on the draft plan.

The recommendation will go to the City Council on Oct. 6 for final consideration.","The Lakeville Planning Commission voted to recommend the city council approve the 2026–2030 capital improvement plan, endorsing projects that include road rehabilitation, a freight rail car storage track, a divergent‑diamond interchange at County Road 50 and I‑35 and water system expansions.","actionData","errors"]
