Council approves Kila Crossing preliminary plat and zoning changes for 18 single-family lots
Summary
Lakeville approved the Kila Crossing Second Edition preliminary plat, a comp-plan amendment from medium/high to low-density residential, and a rezoning to support 18 single-family lots; the Planning Commission had unanimously recommended approval.
The Lakeville City Council on Dec. 1 approved a set of land-use actions for Kila Crossing Second Edition, a proposal to create 18 single-family lots west of Apava and north of Kenwood Trail across from Ames Arena.
Applicant representative Rick Osberg of Hill Engineering and property owner Bill Ryan presented the preliminary plat. Planner Miss Goodroad summarized the requests: a comprehensive plan amendment to change guidance from medium/high density to low-density residential and a zoning map amendment from RM2 to RST2 to permit single-family development. The preliminary plat proposes extending Iris Way, adding a sidewalk, providing stormwater ponding that ties into existing County Road 50 ponding, and installing a stop sign at the Iris'Ipava intersection. Planning Commission held a public hearing on Nov. 20 and unanimously recommended approval.
Councilors asked about full access at the new connection (staff indicated full access would remain) and raised pedestrian-safety concerns given future children crossing the intersection. Council Member Volk moved to approve the resolutions and the ordinance adopting the planner's findings of fact dated 12/01/2025; the motion carried on roll call.
Why it matters: The action rezones the site and changes the land-use designation to allow 18 new single-family lots, advancing the applicant's ability to pursue final platting and construction.
What happens next: With approval of the preliminary plat, the applicant can proceed to final engineering and, pending required permits and reviews, to construction; staff noted required ponding will remain in public ownership.
