Um unless you're the presenter and that's okay then you don't have to. Um, agenda item 5A is Interstate South Logistics Park, fourth edition. And this is a public hearing to consider the 6 00:02:41.599 --> 00:02:58.879 application of Scanel Properties number 496 LLC for a preliminary flat and conditional use permit for a two lot, one outlot subdivision to be known as Interstate South Logistics Park, fourth edition. 7 00:02:58.879 --> 00:03:15.360 And we're going to have uh Mr. Jake Kurt with Scano Properties introduce the project. You just speak into the microphone so everybody can hear you introduce yourself for the record. Thank you. >> Good evening. My name is Jake Kurt with Scanel Properties. Do I need to state my 8 00:03:15.360 --> 00:03:31.760 address? Do I need to state my address or no? >> I don't think so. >> Okay. Other municipalities, you do. So, >> thank you very much for having me uh this evening. We're very very excited about this project. As you know, the Interstate South Logistics Park has been 9 00:03:31.760 --> 00:03:46.400 quite the development uh spanning over what feels like over a decade. Um this is the fourth edition. Uh we are taking one outlot, creating two lots and then one uh outlot will remain in uh what's 10 00:03:46.400 --> 00:04:03.200 known as the fourth edition. The project itself is a 75,000 square foot built to suit for Domino's supply. Um it's a distribution facility. It's an office warehouse production and distribution facility. Uh this will be a 11 00:04:03.200 --> 00:04:18.320 relocation expansion. The reach of this project is actually pretty cool. Um to say it simply put uh this single facility will service the entire state of Minnesota and will distribute to all 12 00:04:18.320 --> 00:04:38.880 the chain Dominoes uh restaurants areas that you and I all order from. The project timeline is uh on hyper speed right now. Following uh entitlements and city improvements, we fully anticipate to break ground right away. uh goal is 13 00:04:38.880 --> 00:04:56.400 is to beat winter con winter. So to be weathertight before uh the snow flies, which is very crazy to talk to talk and think about as we just wrapped up uh winter um is something that is utmost important to us. 14 00:04:56.400 --> 00:05:16.080 >> Excellent. Thank you. >> Have staff present and then we'll have uh if we have questions, we'll call you back up. Evening commissioners. >> We don't want to hear about anymore. >> Yeah. No, no, snow for me. Uh, this is 15 00:05:16.080 --> 00:05:32.720 public hearing for Interstate South Logistics Park, fourth edition. It's preliminary plat. Uh, it is located south of 215th Street, which is also Cas 70 and east of Jquard, north of 217th Street. Uh, and you can 16 00:05:32.720 --> 00:05:47.919 see on the zoning map, the property is zoned I1, which is consistent with the area around it as well. Um, as Mr. Kur said, this is um two lots, one outlot for the plat. Uh, and there's also a C 17 00:05:47.919 --> 00:06:04.160 for parking on the Domino's lot. I'll get into a little bit of that later. So, just to I can get my mouse here. Uh, the Domino's lot is here. Lot two, there's the outlet in the middle. Lot one. um we will be reviewing under a separate 18 00:06:04.160 --> 00:06:19.759 application. So there are no development plans with this application for that site but you will see that uh in the near future. Uh here is the site plan. It is a 75,000 square foot building with two access 19 00:06:19.759 --> 00:06:35.680 points from 217th Street. Uh there are dock doors on the east side here. There's 19 dock doors with 60 trailer uh parking spaces and those are trailers that are in and out regularly. Um different types of trailers for use on 20 00:06:35.680 --> 00:06:52.240 site and for deliveries. Uh there is a future expansion area of about 25,000 square feet on the north end here. And then there is also on-site storm water ponding on the site. Um CP for the parking. Um, we do we did 21 00:06:52.240 --> 00:07:09.039 make this change a few years ago for sites that would like to have more than 125% of the required parking spaces. We do do the cup to help minimize um developments that just want the sea of 22 00:07:09.039 --> 00:07:26.479 parking just because um so in this case uh that is that is not what is being done here. Uh the proposed building requires 95 spaces. they are proposing 142 which is 150% of the requirement. However, if we look at the future 23 00:07:26.479 --> 00:07:43.759 addition um that requirement would be 118 spaces estimated based on how it's expected to be used. Um and so 142 of that 118 would be 120%. So they would be within that 125% requirement if they 24 00:07:43.759 --> 00:07:59.840 were doing the full facility at this time. Um, part of the reason for doing it all now is simply so that if they come back to do the addition, they're not having to impact that parking lot as well and the impacts to the employees who are using the site. So, that is part 25 00:07:59.840 --> 00:08:15.039 of that reason there. Uh, on the landscaping plan, they do have uh landscaping around the parking as required as well as along the north side of the trailer parking. There are trees here uh for blocking those headlights as 26 00:08:15.039 --> 00:08:30.960 they go around. Uh we did uh have a stipulation to add a few additional trees in this area. There's some mechanical equipment on this side of the building that um the additional trees will help with screening. Uh we're not recommending they be in this area due to 27 00:08:30.960 --> 00:08:47.600 the future building addition. Um so having them along there provides that additional screening that would uh be required. And then the building elevations, they are using pre-cast concrete panels with a medium texture and then using four 28 00:08:47.600 --> 00:09:02.320 different colors to help create some of that visual interest across those elevations. Um, you know, different with the colors to mimic windows, um, etc. And then the building, uh, is between 43 44 feet 29 00:09:02.320 --> 00:09:18.640 tall, which is, um, under the max height requirement of the I2, which is 50 feet. Staff does recommend approval of the preliminary plat conditional use permit with the five stipulations that are listed in the planning report as well as the requirements within the engineering 30 00:09:18.640 --> 00:09:36.920 report and approval of the findings of fact. And I will stand for any questions you may have. >> Thank you. This is a public hearing looking to see if there's anyone in the public who would like to speak. 31 00:09:37.200 --> 00:09:52.720 And seeing none, ready for a motion? >> Madam Chair, I'd move to close the public hearing. >> Second. >> We have a motion, a second. All those in favor of closing the public hearing, please say I. >> I. >> I. >> Opposed. 32 00:09:52.720 --> 00:10:10.080 Public hearing is closed. Uh, okay. Commissioners, kick it open for questions. >> Commissioner Kuza, >> I have a question for the applicant. Um, if you wouldn't mind coming up. Um, I asked this of a lot of the warehouses 33 00:10:10.080 --> 00:10:24.399 that come in. Are you going to have uh your loading bay doors labeled some way to aid first responders in case there was an incident? >> Uh, yes, we will reach all safety requirements, make sure everything's signed appropriately. Absolutely. 34 00:10:24.399 --> 00:10:40.560 >> Great. Thank you, >> Madam Chair. Yes. Um, I am I am uh interested in the name Project Blackbear, but that's not my question. Um, that's optional if you want to answer that. >> But I I I was interested fencing though. 35 00:10:40.560 --> 00:10:55.279 Um, is that I don't see a lot of that on Highway 70. So, is that for security or is that for privacy or to to block the view? >> It's more so for security purposes. Yeah. And as it relates to Project Back Bear, I think that that's kind of the 36 00:10:55.279 --> 00:11:13.279 fun in it. So, >> the most recent name that I named Project Polar Bear, and that was named after my uh seven-year-old's hockey team. So nice. Thank you, >> Madam Chair. 37 00:11:13.279 --> 00:11:29.680 >> Um, just a comment on that. Similar, it is fun getting to name those things. At MDOT, we name our storm water ponds that are in the MDOT system. Don't ask about the Simpsons ponds or things like that. So, yeah. Anyway, um, do like the fact that, um, you're looking forward to 38 00:11:29.680 --> 00:11:46.160 potential for future expansion on the site. I think that's a great thing to see. I know a lot of times when we see some of these things come for through, they're kind of maxed out on the site development already. Doesn't allow for any future expansion of the the the business as it sits on that, which means they're going to have to move someday if they get larger. So, I like seeing the 39 00:11:46.160 --> 00:12:03.279 potential for future expansion on here. Um, also, we'll stay with the uh parking thing. Um, it's one of the things that we are always seeking to try and find a balance of enough parking but not too much parking um for a variety of reasons. Um, so that's why we have those 40 00:12:03.279 --> 00:12:20.320 caps written into city ordinance as as we do. Um, the explanation here and why they're doing what they're doing and why we have as many parking spaces as we do makes perfect sense to me and just getting all that kind of civil infrastructure built on site and in place at this time makes perfect sense. So, 41 00:12:20.320 --> 00:12:36.800 >> thank you, Commissioner Swson. Madam Chair, yeah, on the parking, you know, the proposed development is on the the north end, I believe, >> the expansion >> the expansion that but in in would that be a different party than than what's 42 00:12:36.800 --> 00:12:52.000 going to be it' be the same party >> party. So uh not sure how familiar you guys are with freezer cooler buildings pricing wise cons comparison to just warehouse they are very expensive and uh 43 00:12:52.000 --> 00:13:07.120 the average life or if you were to scan the market today freezer cooler warehouse buildings are somewhere 50 years old. So there is a large investment and to move is very expensive 44 00:13:07.120 --> 00:13:21.600 and that is why the future expansion is very very important. >> Well I was just asking that question too because all the park on the south end right and if the north end was going to be a different tenant then there you'd have to walk all the way around the 45 00:13:21.600 --> 00:13:40.959 building to get into offices. >> Thank you. It's a fair question. might be all our questions. >> Okay. Thank you. >> Thank you, >> Madam Chair, if we're ready. >> Yes, I think we are. Commissioner Smith, 46 00:13:40.959 --> 00:13:58.079 >> I will move to recommend to city council approval of the preliminary plat to be known as Interstate South Logistics Park 4th edition and the conditional use permit to exceed 125% of the minimum parking stalls required by the zoning ordinance subject to the five stipulations in the planning report dated April 28th, 2026 and the findings 47 00:13:58.079 --> 00:14:14.959 of fact. >> Second. >> We have a motion and a second. Miss Ericen, would you please call the role? Kuza >> I. >> Zimmer >> I. Ike >> I >> Sweeney >> I >> Swenson >> I >> Trafice >> I 48 00:14:14.959 --> 00:14:34.320 >> motion prevails. Wow, it's real echoey today. Thank you so much for your investment in Lakeville. Um looking forward to getting our Domino's pieces even faster. Thank you very much. Um I believe this will go for city 49 00:14:34.320 --> 00:14:52.639 council on May 18th. The next public hearing is a conditional use permit for Coober Coffee Minnesota LLC for a convenience restaurant with a drive-thru and a commercial building less than 2,000 square ft at uh 50 00:14:52.639 --> 00:15:13.440 marketplace at C. And we have uh Mr. Wendle to present >> this the live one. >> That should work. You could push it up if you need to and give us your name. >> Um, my name is Jerry Wendell. I'm here for 7 Brew on behalf of Seven Brew. Um, 51 00:15:13.440 --> 00:15:31.120 we looking to put one here on 179th in um Seven Brew initially just kind of entering our market area. They're they're out of um Louisville, Kentucky. the franchisee they um the 52 00:15:31.120 --> 00:15:47.680 stand is roughly you know the building's about 500 I think it's about 510 ft with a small cooler building off the side of it of 38 that's about 900 square foot building um they primarily serve um 53 00:15:47.680 --> 00:16:05.120 20,000 different flavors of drinks so um that ranges from coffee to tea Italian soda um they've Got shakes, smoothies, trying to think, there's a bunch of other stuff, too. Hot chocolate. So, you 54 00:16:05.120 --> 00:16:22.160 can kind of get whatever you need here. They're they're very busy. They have um they'll employ a bunch of people. Um somewhere in the range of 50 to 60 people will work at the stand. So, new jobs create. They um an average shift has somewhere around four to six people 55 00:16:22.160 --> 00:16:36.880 working. Um a little bit differentiator for them. They they don't have a you know a menu board or anything like that Chick-fil-A that's got a similar model where you know somebody's going to come out and greet you take your order down 56 00:16:36.880 --> 00:16:56.720 and then you'll go through the queue order out to you. So um it's a pretty small site. Um we're we're working on a lot of landscaping to kind of shield like headlights and stuff like that. Um they drive a fair amount of traffic car-wise 57 00:16:56.720 --> 00:17:13.839 to you. Um but very active project. Um we're hopeful to start here this fall, August, September. Build time on the project would be somewhere around four four months roughly for us to get it started and 58 00:17:13.839 --> 00:17:30.080 complete. Um we finished one up in Vadness Heights. We're underway in one in Apple Valley which is pretty close to here. Um that one will open here uh middle of June roughly. So um trying to think if there's anything else that 59 00:17:30.080 --> 00:17:45.760 really sets it up, but they have a parking queue. Um nine cars in the queue it can it can take um they'll roughly have see maybe about a thousand transactions per day, something like 60 00:17:45.760 --> 00:18:01.679 that. That's over some several different stores throughout their their demographic. So, um, I'm excited to kind of help them help them get roll these things out. It's just kind of refreshing. They're fast to build and and next thing you 61 00:18:01.679 --> 00:18:17.520 know, it's there's a lot of a lot of activity. So, um, we're happy to come here. Um, I think you'll I think you'll enjoy the product once we get here. So, all I have to say for now, I guess. >> Okay. Thank you very much. We'll have 62 00:18:17.520 --> 00:18:35.600 presentation from staff. Come on up, Miss Bon. >> Good evening, chair and commission members. This request is for property that's located east of Cedar Avenue. It's south of 175th Street in the Marketplace U 63 00:18:35.600 --> 00:18:52.960 development. The property is zoned M2, which is our mixeduse Cedar Corridor District. So, the request in front of you tonight is a conditional use permit for a convenience restaurant with a drive-thru in the M2 district and to allow a 64 00:18:52.960 --> 00:19:08.960 commercial building less than 2,000 square ft in size. The building itself, as mentioned, is about roughly 900 square feet. A little bit hard to see on this map, but right in this area, uh the building 65 00:19:08.960 --> 00:19:24.000 does comply with setbacks. There are two drive-thru lanes. The interior lane is about 150 ft of stacking space and then the exterior lane is about 190 ft of stacking space. 66 00:19:24.000 --> 00:19:41.200 Uh the building the main access point is from the south on a private drive. Um so it's not on directly onto Cedar Avenue. It's on the private drive internal of the plat. And then there's another shared access to the east. So parking is also shared with the lot 67 00:19:41.200 --> 00:19:58.480 to the east which will be a future multi-tenant building. So on this site alone there's 17 spaces and on the site to the east there's 75 spaces. So total there'd be 92 parking spaces which is in compliance with our code requirements. 68 00:19:58.480 --> 00:20:14.559 The applicant has submitted a revised landscape plan since your packet has gone out. So, they did add additional shrubs to have a continuous shrub line around the drive-thru so headlights will not go shining under the road to the north. And then they did add some 69 00:20:14.559 --> 00:20:30.640 additional trees as well. Uh forestry did review this and they just had a couple minor comments more about their plant their planting detail. Nothing about the number of trees or shrubs on the property anymore. Uh but they do need to have final forestry approval before it goes to council, but I'm not 70 00:20:30.640 --> 00:20:47.280 anticipating that to be an issue. Uh but as of right today, that condition will still stay in your um packet or with the motion going forward. Uh storm water design on the site, you may not have seen anything in your packet and that's because it was actually approved with the plat itself with the marketplace at 71 00:20:47.280 --> 00:21:04.080 Cedar Plat. So the grading on the site will be approved then the final grading will be approved at the time of building permit. The building elevations are all mainly gradea materials which is in compliance with our code requirements. Um there's 72 00:21:04.080 --> 00:21:20.240 no indoor seating and there's also no outdoor patio seating. So their main focus as the applicant mentioned is that drive-thru service. So staff is recommending approval of the conditional use permit with the six stipulations listed in your report along 73 00:21:20.240 --> 00:21:35.840 with the findings of fact. And as of right now, this is anticipated to go to council on May 18th, and we have not heard from any of the surrounding property owners. Thank you. >> Thank you. This is a public hearing. 74 00:21:35.840 --> 00:21:50.960 I don't see anyone here to speak on this, so I think we're ready for a motion. >> Madam Chair, I make a motion to close the public hearing. >> Second. >> We have a motion and a second. All those in favor of closing the public hearing, 75 00:21:50.960 --> 00:22:14.559 please say I. I >> the public hearing is now closed. Open it up for questions from commissioners. I would have one question and I'm not sure if it's Mr. I I noted with the drive-thru the 76 00:22:14.559 --> 00:22:30.720 shrubbery that has to come along. Are you able to clear snow through your whole uh section where the drive-thru is and the lanes with the shrubs right there? Is that Have you worked through all of that? And then in connection with that, you said that the all the staff 77 00:22:30.720 --> 00:22:47.600 comes out to greet people and you said it's a little bit like Chick-fil-A. Does everybody have somewhere to stand then? Keep keep the warmelves warm. >> Yeah, so the building does have some heating outside. Um >> Okay. side and then the people that are 78 00:22:47.600 --> 00:23:04.400 running in and out will as well. I don't anticipate an issue with clearance snow. Um um I used to build a lot of the caribous before they slowed down and they had the same problem. It's actually tighter because they had a single lane 79 00:23:04.400 --> 00:23:19.200 but I don't I don't think that'll be an issue. >> That's great. I just >> they don't get it cleared that people aren't going to come over. So, >> right. I just remember one place that had developed something not here in Lakeville and didn't make a plan for 80 00:23:19.200 --> 00:23:42.200 winter. So, I just was thinking about those two items. So, thank you. I think we're you can take a seat. Questions? We can certainly entertain a motion. >> Thank Thank you for your time. >> Thank you. 81 00:23:42.400 --> 00:23:59.520 Madam chair, I had a motion to recommend city council approval of the conditional use permit for convenience restaurant drive-thru service window in in the M2 mixuse uh Cedar Corridor district and to allow uh a commercial building less than 82 00:23:59.520 --> 00:24:14.799 2,000 square feet of floor areas subject to the six stipulations in the planning report dated April 29th, 2026 and the findings of act. >> Second. >> We have a motion and a second. Miss 83 00:24:14.799 --> 00:24:33.360 Ericson, would you please take the role? >> Zimmer. >> Ike. >> I. >> Sweeny. >> I. >> Swanson. >> I. >> Travis. >> I. >> I. >> Your motion prevails. Thank you so much. Looking forward to your development. And 84 00:24:33.360 --> 00:24:57.360 >> 20,000 flavors of something. Thank you so much.

Do we have any other nominations? 87 00:25:33.840 --> 00:25:49.919 third just like an auctioneer third time or do we have any nominations? Uh I would then uh for the nominations to be closed or ask for a motion to close the nominations. >> Madam chair, I move to close 88 00:25:49.919 --> 00:26:04.480 nominations. Second. >> All those in favor say I. >> I. >> Opposed. Nominations are closed. Uh, now we can vote on the nominations. 89 00:26:04.480 --> 00:26:29.279 I would propose we vote as a slate since we don't have Miss Ericson, do you take the role for this? Sure. Excellent.
