5 issues with medium priority
Old Sibley Memorial Highway rezone for wellness facility
Nathan Knutson wants to rezone a parcel at 4141 Old Sibley Memorial Highway from limited industrial to planned development so a health and wellness facility can open. The change would shift the site's allowed use from industrial to commercial-style wellness, which neighbors along the highway may have views on.
Hygge House private wellness studios proposal
A local wellness business wants to convert existing office space into 17 rentable studios for independent beauty, massage, and health professionals. It gives small local businesses a home but introduces neighborhood-business-style uses into a limited-business office park, so hours of operation would be limited by condition.
Explore Wellbeing mental health and recovery facility expansion
An existing mental health clinic on a wooded lot along Old Sibley Memorial Highway would nearly double in size, adding therapy space, saunas, and outdoor cold plunges. The project needs rezoning and code deviations on parking and materials, with commissioners weighing neighborhood spillover parking against preserving the trees.
$1.03 Million Police Firearms Range Grant
The police department accepted $1.03 million in federal Byrne grant funding to modernize the firearms range, including lead mitigation and a rebuilt backstop — safer for officers and surroundings.
Delinquent hotel lodging taxes
Two hotels — Budget Host Inn and Country Inn & Suites — fell behind on the 3% lodging tax that funds the convention and visitors bureau. Their unpaid bills are now certified to Dakota County for collection with property taxes.
