Election of Commission Officers
Rick Parsons
5.a
Action to be considered:
I move to appoint the following individuals as officers of the Board of Adjustment and
Appeals:
• (name) as Chair
• (name) as Vice Chair
• (name) as Second Vice Chair
Motion Type:
Simple Majority
Background:
The City of Shakopee's Elected and Appointed Officials Guide requires boards and
commissions to conduct an organizational meeting following the appointment of new
members by the City Council. During this meeting, the body elects members to officer
positions. The Board of Adjustment and Appeals officer positions are Chair, Vice Chair,
and Second Vice Chair. The Board of Adjustment and Appeals is required to elect a Chair,
and it should also elect a Vice Chair and a Second Vice Chair to ensure the commission
continues smooth operations in case of absences.
Officer positions are not required to change every year; nothing prevents previous
officers from being reelected. However, no member may serve as Chair until he or she
has served for one full year on the commission.
Recommendation:
Appoint a Chair, Vice Chair, and Second Vice Chair for the Board of Adjustment and
Appeals.

PUBLIC HEARING - Conditional Use Permit Amendment for a public or
private school for K-12 students at 4601 Dean Lakes Blvd.
Kyle Sobota, Senior Planner
Michael Kerski, Director of Planning and Development
Action to be considered:
Adopt Resolution PC2026-008.
Motion Type:
Simple Majority
Background:
Site Information:
Applicant: Wold Architects
Site Address: 4601 Dean Lakes Blvd
Property Owner: Southwest Metro Intermediate School District No. 288
Lot Area: 8.33 acres
Zoning District: BP, Business Park
2040 Comp. Plan: Mixed Use Center
Wold Architects, representing Southwest Metro Intermediate School District No. 288, has
applied for a conditional use permit amendment to expand the school at 4601 Dean
Lakes Blvd for a 5,000 square -foot fabrication lab addition to the northeast corner of the
building. City Code was amended in 2020 to allow K-12 schools in the Business Park zone
as a conditional use. Intermediate School District No. 288 received their conditional use
permit for a school in December of 2020 and is proposing to expand the building to allow
additional fields of study and remodel portions of the existing building to include a new
automotive shop and expand the commons area / cafeteria. A 20'x70' polycarbonate
greenhouse is also proposed on the east side of the property for the district's agricultural
program.
The proposed addition supplements the district's Career and Technical Education (CTE)
programs is also designed to be a storm shelter, which is a requirement of the Minnesota
Building Code. As the CTE addition is required to be a storm shelter, there are limitations
on the number and size of window openings. Staff has worked with the applicant
extensively to come up with a design that meets City Code requirements of the Business
4
Park Zone for materials and design. The proposed addition is pre -cast concrete panels
that are embossed with split -face block texture and inlaid with brick to match the existing
building. A potential future expansion of the CTE lab is being planned for as noted in the
applicant's narrative.
Other city departments have reviewed the request and provided comments. The
Engineering Department has provided a comment memorandum that is attached. The
Fire Department has commented that the applicant must confirm that fire apparatus is
able to maneuver around the proposed addition. The amount of parking provided on the
site meets City Code requirements even with the addition and removal of eight parking
spaces for the greenhouse. Overall staff is recommending approval of the request with
the conditions of approval in the attached resolution.
Recommendation:
Adopt the resolution, as presented.

Re: Southwest Metro Intermediate District #288
2026 Dean Lakes Addition and Renovations
Commission No. 252114
Dear Michael Kerski:
On behalf of Southwest Metro Intermediate District #288, please see the following narrative in
support of the Conditional Use Permit amendment application for the 4601 Dean Lakes Education
Center.
As part of Southwest Metro's long-range planning efforts, the District is reorganizing and
upgrading programming to better serve its students and member School Districts. This project is
intended to consolidate and expand the District's Career and Technical Education (CTE) programs
to a single site. The District plans to relocate its automotive program to this facility and introduce a
new fabrication program. In addition to these program changes, the school will increase cafeteria
capacity and create a central gathering space by remodeling a portion of the building into a school
commons, fostering a stronger sense of community and school pride.
The District is seeking approval for an addition to the facility that will house the new fabrication
program. The addition is required to function as a storm shelter in accordance with the Minnesota
Building Code. To meet this requirement, the exterior construction will consist of precast concrete
wall panels. To maintain architectural consistency between the existing building and the new
addition, the precast panels will be embossed with split -face block textures and inlaid with thin
brick to match the existing materials and stained to match the current color palette. Openings
within the addition are also subject to storm shelter requirements, which limit their overall size
based on storm window manufacturer capabilities. The north end of the addition has been master
planned to accommodate a future expansion as additional CTE programs added to this facility.
Modifications to the existing building include the installation of a pair of glass garage doors on the
north side to allow vehicle access for the automotive program. Additionally, on the southeast side
of the building, within the parking lot, the District proposes the installation of a permanent
polycarbonate greenhouse measuring approximately 20 feet by 70 feet to support and expand the
agriculture program.
