[Music] Good evening. Welcome to the May 19th city council meeting. If you join me for a moment of silence and pledge of allegiance to the flag of the United States of America and to the republic for it stands one
nation indivisibley and justice for all. Okay. Um, roll call please. V here. Here. Vermal here. Walter here. Lee here. Okay. Moving on to item three,
citizens comments. Opportunity for those in the audience if they want to address the council for up to three minutes. Want to come on up and state your name and address for the record, please. Um, Greg Brown, Credit River, 20380 Lynn
Drive. I'm here to talk about 205th Avenue, which is um I'm not sure too many people realize that 25th Avenue is a Lakeville City Road. Much to my surprise, it it makes
sense that it it butts up with a Scott County Road and to the to the east it's it's Lakeville City Road. And I think part part of that is that maybe the jurisdiction should be a county road versus a a city road. But why I'm here
is because I've been asking when that road has been done. And in 2021, I was told it was going to be 2023. In 2023, I was told it was going to be 2025. And lo and behold, my surprise, I called in and said, because I didn't see anything
regarding that in all the construction projects, and now I'm told it's 2027. And we keep kicking that can down the road. And I don't think from a safety standpoint, that road has gotten a lot busier in the last two years. Recently,
uh what let me back up. What makes it dangerous is it's narrow. It's rolly. Very much rolly. Um if it's so rolly that there's a hay bill that's been sitting there for about a half a year on the side of the road because it fell off
on one of the rolls. Um there's motor homes on there, there's tractors on there, there's bikers on there, there's semis on there and just just recently I saw a trailer a tractor pulling a a trailer
full of hay bales. There was 10 cars stacked behind it and going east there was a biker on the road. Now tell me that isn't a a recipe for disaster. And what I was told is that it's it's up to you guys here at the
city council to to set that budget to get that construction project going. And I'm thinking that 2027 isn't going to make it isn't going to cut it. It needs to be next year. I understand that this year's probably too late because of the everything's out to bid and everything
or but for 2026 it should be on that budget. Um there's been a fatality already on that. I really don't want another. And one of the things also it's an east west road so you get the sunrise
and sunsets going on. Um and that's pretty much it. Um I appreciate the consideration and and talking about it. All right. Well, thank you very much. Yeah. Would you just leave your contact information with our city clerk so I can follow up with you? Sure. Thanks. Appreciate it. All right. Thank you.
Yep. Any other citizens comments? Okay. Moving on to additional agenda information, Mr. Miller? Nothing tonight, Mayor. Okay. And now we'll move on to our first presentation, which is uh a donation from the Lakeville Soccer
Club. So, introduce Joe Macy Arch and our parks director. Uh good evening, mayor and city council. Uh this evening, I'm excited to uh welcome up a representative from Lakeville Soccer. Uh they are generously donating uh funds to uh sponsor two AEDs
in the parks. Uh so these are outdoor cabinets uh heated, cooled with, uh surveillance and um the ability to call in to 911. Uh and then they also have the AED units obviously. uh but great additions to the parks. These are getting installed at uh Steve Mashad
Park and at Caspersonson Park, two of the facilities that Lakeville Soccer uses heavily. So, I'll welcome up uh Peter. Good evening, Mayor. Good evening, uh city council members. Uh my name is Peter Teima. Uh I uh live in Elco, but I teach in Lakeville and uh I uh am uh one
of the board members from Lakeville soccer club. Um, you may remember a couple years ago we had a a cardiac event at Caspersonson Park during a soccer lakeful soccer club uh tournament. Uh, recently there was a cardiac event at Ste Mashad. Um, our
club has decided we need to kind of kick this thing in full gear. Uh, and we've been talking with Joe and talking with uh some different um groups on how can we bring AEDs to our city parks. And so, uh, with, uh, the initiative of our club and working, uh, with a nice partnership
with Joe and with our city parks, um, we're happy to, uh, say that we're we're providing some funding to help start the process and start bringing them to, uh, uh, to parks. Um, Steve Mashad definitely is a place that we use a lot. Uh, Casperson is a place that we use a lot and that we thought we want to make
sure that the, uh, the safety of our our athletes and their fans uh, is paramount. um cardig events are becoming more and more apparent and and we want to make sure that we have the opportunity to uh help save lives. So, um I'm super happy to uh present this check on behalf of Lakeville Soccer Club
and uh I hope we can get uh keep things moving. So, thank you very much. Fantastic. I love the idea. Thank you so much. We really appreciate it. Council, any comments at all? Wow. Joshua, I appreciate the responsiveness to a need that you're seeing. I guess I have a
question about how you have any thoughts about how we can make sure fans are aware of this as they're coming to your tournaments and and that kind of thing. So, we've kind of discussed a social media piece. Um, we're going to be pushing it with our tournaments. Um, and just really make sure that everyone knows that Mashad Caspersonson there are
a devices there. Um, the high schools, uh, our trainers when they go to those events always ask if there's something there as well. Um, we also have signage, uh, that's going to be posted at the two parks. uh that alerts people that it's pretty pretty apparent that there's an AED right here. Um so it's really nice
to see. Oh, there we got one of the signs there. Um so these will be posted at Caspersonson at like at Mashad uh right next to the units. The one at Mashad is at the building. The one at Caspersonson is parking lot. Yeah. So um they're right where
everyone's walking by anyway. So, I mean, we're we're hoping that they'll see it, and if they don't see it, hopefully enough people have noticed it and we can point them to it. So, thank you. Awesome. Can I take a picture of Joe hand you handing Joe the big check? You want to do it that way? Okay.
However, perfect. Great. I thought I gonna jump in. Okay. Thank you, Fred. I appreciate appreciate your leadership. Yep. Thanks again to the soccer club. Um, okay. The next item on our agenda is our AL ALS awareness month proclamation.
I'll turn it over to Council Member Walter. Thank you, Mr. Mayor. Uh, ALS Awareness Month uh proclamation. Whereas amotrophic lateral sclerosis, also commonly known as Larrier's disease, is a progressive fatal neurodeenerative
disease in which a person's brain loses connection with their muscles, slowly reducing a person's ability to walk, talk, eat, and eventually breathe. And whereas thousands of new amotropic lateral sclerosis cases are reported every year and estimates show that every
90 minutes someone is diagnosed with ALS and someone passes away from ALS. And whereas on average patients diagnosed with ALS survive only two to five years from the time of diagnosis. And whereas the exact causes of ALS are unknown and there is no known cure for ALS. And
whereas people who have served in the military are more likely to develop ALS and die from the disease than those with no history of military service. And whereas securing access to new therapies, durable medical equipment, and communication technologies is of vital importance to people living with
ALS. And whereas clinical trials play a pivotal role in evaluating new treatments, enhancing quality of life, and fostering assistive technologies for those living with ALS. And where whereas the ALS association is the largest philanthropic funer of ALS research
globally and has committed more than $154 million to support more than 550 projects across the United States and 18 other countries. And whereas the ALS association is committed to accelerating the pace of discovery fueled by the hope that one day ALS will be a livable
disease for everyone everywhere until a cure can be found. And whereas amotrophic lateral sclerosis awareness month provides an opportunity to increase public awareness of the dire circumstances of people living with ALS acknowledging the terrible impact this disease has on those individuals and
their families and support research to eradicate the this disease. Now therefore, the Lakeville City Council does hereby proclaim that the month of May shall be observed as ALS awareness month in the city of Lakeville. Proclaimed this 19th day of May, 2025. Mayor Luke M. Helier.
Thank you, Council Member Walter. All right, moving on to our consent agenda. Item number six. Anything you'd like to highlight, Mr. Miller? Thank you, Mayor. One item tonight, item 6G is a proposal for a purchase of a gas kil. The reason I want to bring this up, this is for our fine arts building and this is made through
the generosity of the friends of the arts center as well as a grant through Minnesota energy resources and we appreciate their donation. Great. I know we've been working on that for a while. Council, anything you'd like to pull for further discussion? If not, I'll take a motion to approve.
I'll make a motion to approve the consent agenda. Is there a second? Second. Any further discussion? Okay, seeing none, all those in favor say I. I Okay, consent agenda passes. Moving on to uh item seven that we've got a public
hearing on application for LD Designs LLC DBA board and brush for consumption display permit. Um I'll see if our city clerk can give us some background on the application. Yeah, the application has been received.
The background check was completed and they meet all ordinance requirements. Okay, very good. So, this is a public hearing, so I'll open that up now if anyone had a comment about the license. If not, I will take a motion to close the public
hearing. I move to close the public hearing. Okay. Uh, is there a second? Second. Second. Those in favor say I. I. The public hearing is closed. Any discussion, council? Otherwise, I'll take a motion to approve the license.
Joshua Council member Lee move to grant a consumption and display permit for LD Designs LLC DBA board and brush located at 20770 Holio Avenue. Okay, very good. Is there a second? Second. Okay. Any further
discussion? Roll call, please. Helier. I. Burmal. I. Walter. I. Lee. I. Very good. Sorry. I thought I I still count, you know. No, I thought you I thought he said vulk first. Did you
not say vulk first? No, he started with you. You were more important. Sorry, Michelle. Uh, that item prevails. I'll now move on to item B. Uh, Heritage Commons 9th edition preliminary plat and easement vacation. And I believe our
community development director, Miss Goodroad, will tee it up. And then I believe we have someone from Kimley Horn on teams potentially. Good evening, mayor, members of the council. Yes, I believe the engineer um for the project is on um the team's
call. No. Okay, maybe he's not. So, we'll wing it. I think we'll be okay. This pretty straightforward application. Um but um the architect's partnership has submitted application for a preliminary plot to be known as Heritage Commons 9th edition for two commercial lots. So, the property is part of the
Heritage Commons, one of the vacant lots um just north of 202nd Street between um Idealic and Iberia Avenue and south of Heritage Drive. The property is zoned PUB, so it's part of the overall Heritage Commons PUD with the C3 um
general commercial zoning as the underlying zoning. Um the property is being plotted into two lots. Um the proposal is for a new Chase Bank and that will be on lot one or the west side of the lot. Um west the west lot um on your
screen, excuse me. Um here's the site plan for the proposed Chase Bank. Um access will be from Heritage Drive as well as from Idealic Avenue and then there will be access to the additional lot that will be just to um the east. Um the bank is about
3,395 square ft. um includes all of the required parking, a drive-thru lane on the south side of the building with a bypass lane um for the drive-thru as well. Um here's the landscaping plan. Includes exterior plantings around the
site around the site as well as around um the storm water pond and then the required building perimeter landscaping. And then we asked them to ghost platter demonstrate how the adjacent lot could be developed with that connection for the parking areas.
Um the elevation plans exceed our grade A materials. Um it's a combination of three colors of brick as well as cast stone and glass and then some ornamental metal. So um the proposal meets all of the requirements. There was a planning commission meeting held on this item in
public hearing on May 8th. Um, one of the requests is for some vacation of drainage and utility easements. Um, those typically surrounded because this was an originally an outlot. Those always surround that original outlot. They need to be vacated and then they'll be replaced with the final plot. And so
those two items were reviewed by the planning commission at a public hearing and the planning commission recommended unanimously for approval. Um, and then there's 11 stipulations with that approval and I would stand for any questions. Okay, council. Any questions, comments? Okay, without seeing none,
I'll take a motion. House member Burmal, I move to approve a resolution approving the Heritage Commons 9th edition preliminary plat and vacation of drainage and utility easements. Okay, is there a
second? Second. Any further discussion? Okay, roll call, please. Burmal I. Walter I Lee I B I Ellier I Okay, very good. Thank you, Miss Goodro. With that, we'll move on to unfinish and new
business. Seeing none, announcements. Our next work session is next Monday or excuse me, next Tuesday because of Memorial Day here at city hall. Our next city council meeting is Monday, June 2nd. And with that, I'll take a motion to adjurnn.
I move to adjurnn. Is there a second? Second. All those in favor say I. I. I. Opposed. We arejourned. [Music] [Music]
