Info

Park Planning District 8 District 8 is located in southeast Lakeville defined by Dodd Boulevard on the west, 200 th and 202 nd Streets on the north, and the City boundaries on the south and east. 2020 Land Use Plan District 8 includes the Lakeville Central Business District and surrounding residential neighborhoods, Airlake Industrial Park, and Ardmour Village manufactured housing community. Most of the land is within the City’s existing MUSA. The land lying outside the MUSA within the northern portion of the District is anticipated to be included by year 2010. The 2020 Land Use Plan anticipates a full range of land uses within District 8. New residential land uses are expected in both the southwest and eastern portions of the district. The Land Use Plan emphasizes a broad range of residential densities including low density, low to medium, medium, and medium to high density residential housing types. Implementation of the 2020 Land Use Plan will change District 8’s result in a 2020 population of 7,304. The proposed land use and population changes will create additional need for neighborhood parks.

Comparison With City Standards The City standards suggest that the City provide 2.5 to 3.5 acres of active neighborhood park land per 1,000 people. The 2020 population suggests a future need of between 18.2 and 25.6 acres of active park land. While the combination of City park and schools exceed forecasted need, the existing facilities are primarily playfields which do not include recreational facilities found in neighborhood parks serving smaller, more intimate neighborhood environments. Stoneborough Park has been acquired and Village Creek Park has been acquired and developed to address neighborhood park needs in areas of District 8 currently developing. Recommendations To address the park and trail needs of District 8, the following recommendations are offered: 1. The City will explore the opportunity of creating a community playfield in conjunction with City-owned land along South Creek, south of Highway 50 and east of Cedar Avenue. Any park planning in this area of the City should implement strategies for preserving South Creek as a trout stream. 2. Two neighborhood park search areas are identified in District 8: a. The first park search area is located between Hamburg and Cedar Avenues. This area represents future residential areas supporting low to medium and medium to high residential densities. b. The second park search area is located east of Cedar Avenue. This area of the City is proposed for medium density residential land uses. The Cedar Avenue corridor presents a physical barrier that may inhibit residents from using parks located west of Cedar Avenue. An initial parcel of land for this park has been acquired by the City through dedication as part of the Spyglass subdivision. Additional land will be acquired to assemble with the Spyglass parcel when the land north of Spyglass is subdivided. 3. The following trail improvements will be considered in District 8: a. Extension of MPTWs along Cedar Avenue. b. MPTWs along 202 nd Street, 205 th Street and 210 th Street c. The provision of MPTWs along Dodd Boulevard and County Road 70 when Dakota County upgrades these County highways. 4. The City has established portions of the South Creek greenway. With infill development, the City will preserve the balance of the corridor. A critical issue is connection of the South Creek greenway from Stone Borough Park east to Holyoke Avenue to provide a connection from areas west along the corridor (including Lakeville South High School) to the Lakeville CBD.
