3. Public Hearings—Chair Rotty opened the public hearings
a. 2040 Comprehensive Plan
Mr. Jeff Miller of Hoisington Koegler Group presented the 2040 Comprehensive Plan.
Mr.Miller reviewed the various chapters highlighting the guiding principles and the
major updates. By 2040 the population is predicted to be 32,500. A new land use
category has been added, Mixed Use(Commercial/Industrial). This will increase the
flexibility for future commercial and industrial uses allowed in the Spruce Street Master
Plan/Pilot Knob Road area. The area along 195th Street between Pilot Knob Road and
Flagstaff, and the area south of the high school has been designated as agricultural. That
has changed to urban development. The land along Pilot Knob near CSAH 50 and south
has been guided to the new mixed use of commercial/industrial.
Chair Rotty spoke about the work session on the Highway 3 corridor. It is anticipated
there will be some type of zoning changes along Highway 3. Whatever those changes
are,that will be an amendment to this comprehensive plan.
Regarding the ag land,previously 940 acres had no expiration date. Now 815 acres of
that will expire in 2020. Within the past year, 125 acres were taken out of ag preserve
which will be available in 2026.
The Met Council has a requirement for all cities to meet a threshold for affordable
housing. The 2040 plan meets that need with 752 units allocated to affordable housing.
The Parks and Recreation Chapter shows new neighborhood park locations,future trail
corridors aligning with future streets. A section on trails has been added,which was not
included in the 2030 Comprehensive Plan.

The economic development chapter has been streamlined to contain the purpose of
municipal economic development, roles and powers of the EDA,history of planning and
economic development, existing economic conditions, existing economic development
plans such as the Downtown Redevelopment Plan and the city's three-year strategic
planning process.
Planning Manager Wippler gave highlights of the comprehensive sanitary sewer plan and
surface water management plan. There were two significant updates to the surface water
management plan. There is an updated hydrologic/hydraulic model using atlas 14
precipitation. It is used to determine storm water ponding for development. This will
impact new development and existing development as far as maintenance. The other
change is the city's approach to regional ponding. Currently,this is regulated through a
surface water management fee which would go towards the acquisition and development
of regional ponds. With the new requirements, there would be more site development
level ponds to address both rate and volume control. There will be more small ponds
rather than large ponds.
The transportation plan includes working with neighboring cities and townships on
various connections.
Commission members asked various questions on the plan. Comments were received
from residents,the city of Lakeville and MnDOT. Upon City Council approval,the plan
will be sent to the Met Council. Commission members were very much in favor of this
plan and thanked all entities for their comments.
