2006 Parks, Trails and Open Space Plan - City of Lakeville

Park Planning District 6
District 6 is located in the center of the City. The district boundaries include CSAH 50
on the west and south, 185 th Street and Dodd Boulevard on the north, with Highview
and Holyoke Avenues on the east.
2020 Land Use Plan
Significant development of District 6 has occurred since the Parks, Trails and Open
Space Plan was last updated in 1999. The predominant land use in the district is single
family and medium density residential uses south of 185 th Street, east of CSAH 50 and
west of Ipava Avenue, which is based on the Central District Area Plan. Lakeville North
High School, Heritage Commons, a commercial center located at the corner of Dodd
Boulevard and CSAH 50 and the Lakeville City Hall and Dakota County Heritage Library
are located in the southern portion of the District.
The 2020 Land Use Plan recognizes the natural features within District 6 and proposes
establishment of a significant greenway as part of the Central District Area Plan to
protect the natural areas, delineating land use boundaries, and providing a trail that will
connect the various neighborhoods and downtown Lakeville. The 2020 Land Use Plan
recommends the continued development of Heritage Commons with medium density
residential land uses at its periphery. Low and low to medium density residential land
uses are proposed through the balance of the district. Land use development is
consistent with the Land Use Plan and will increase the population to an estimated
6,246 by 2020.
Existing Park and School Facilities
District 6 has no neighborhood parks. The Greenway mini-park, King community
playfield, Ames hockey arena, and three schools are located within the district to
provide active recreation areas.
