Traffic Control Concerns - Spruce and 6th Street
DATE:
May 15,2000
INTRODUCTION
At the March 6th City Council meeting, Tim and Kelly Dougherty requested that stop
signs be placed on Spruce Street at the intersection with 6th Street (see attached letter).
DISCUSSION
Staff has analyzed the traffic fatterns and the existing traffic control in the area of the
intersection of Spruce and 6t Streets. Attached is a memo from the City's traffic
engineer with the recommendations for the intersection.
As stated in the memo, warrants for all-way stop control are not met at this intersection.
However, in review of the intersection and surrounding intersections, it is recommended
that the stop signs on 6th Street at Spruce be relocated to Spruce Street (see attached
map). Currently, 6th Street traffic is required to stop at three consecutive intersections;
Walnut, Spruce, and Oak. Relocating the stop signs from 6th to Spruce will provide a
more systematic control plan and not decrease the safety of the intersection. Adjacent
intersections on Spruce are not required to stop, thus stopping of traffic on Spruce at 6th
should not cause any traffic movement changes.
Warning signs informing drivers of the traffic control changes will need to be posted at
least two weeks prior to the actual changes.
BUDGET IMPACT
The costs associated with the traffic control change are within the allocated 2000 Street
division budget.
ACTION REQUESTED
Council consensus authorizing staff to implement the recommended traffic control
changes at the intersection of Spruce and 6th Street.

RE: Stop Signs
Dear Farmington City Council Members,
I live on Spruce Street, in between 5th and 6th Streets. I am very
concerned that there are no stop signs at these corners. I have personally
witnessed and have been involved in several close calls, not to mention I have
seen several accidents on the corner of 5th and Oak and 6th and Spruce Street.
Most recently, December 9, 1999, (please see attached photos and Police write-
up). Shortly after the accident, approximately five minutes, a group of children
walked by on their way to school, District Service Center and Farmington
Elementary School. Thankfully no one was injured.
On weekday mornings children are running, playing and also trying to
make their way to school from all different directions. At the same time, cars
and school buses are traveling up and down Spruce Street without having to stop
for the children, or on-coming vehicles.
Our biggest concern is the high school students in the morning and
afternoon. The students coming from Farmington Senior High have been
witnessed and ticketed going anywhere from 40-60 miles per hour. As you can
see from the photographs of the accident on December 9, 1999, the high school
students that were driving the truck and the car were traveling at least 50 miles
per hour.
On Sundays, St. Michael's Catholic Church, Farmington Lutheran and a
Presbyterian Church draw a lot of traffic in between the hours of 8:30 a.m. to
12:00 p.m. People are getting in and out of cars, and crossing the intersection of
Spruce and 5th Streets from all directions. The potential for an accident is great,
no matter what day of the week it may be. Our community's children are playing
in their yards and on our community's sidewalks at all times of the day.

Council members you have a lot of responsibilities to consider for the
continuing growth of Farmington. You were elected to make decisions for the
good of the Farmington residents now and for the future. As a concerned citizen
of this community, we believe your number one responsibility is to never
compromise safety. Please take time to investigate where stop signs are needed
on Spruce and the surrounding streets. Indicated by the pictures enclosed, we
strongly urge you to place them on Spruce and 6th Streets.
Sincerely,

May 9, 2000
RE:
Spruce Street/6th Street Intersection
Our File No. 141-Gen
A request has been made for all-way stop control at the intersection of Spruce Street and 6th Street.
This memorandum provides the results of a traffic review of this intersection.
The intersection is presently controlled by stop signs on 6th Street. The land use on all four corners
consists of single-family residential. Parking is allowed on all legs of the intersection. There aren't
any sight distance problems at the intersection.
Traffic volume counts conducted by the city at this location indicate that the volumes do not satisfy
warrants for all-way stop control. Such warrants are contained in the Minnesota Manual on Uniform
Traffic Control Devices (MMUTCD).
A field review of the intersection indicates that all-way stop control is not necessary from a safety
viewpoint. The volume data indicates that all-way stop control is not warranted nor do we
recommend such control at this location.
We do recommend that the following traffic control revision be instituted. The stoJ;' signs on 6th
Street should be removed and stop control should be placed on Spruce. Presently,6 Street traffic
is required to stop at three consecutive intersections; Walnut, Spruce, and Oak. The stop on Spruce
can be reversed, thus providing a more systematic control plan and not decreasing the safety of the
intersection. Adjacent intersections on Spruce are not required to stop, thus stopping of Spruce at 6th
will not cause any traffic movement changes.
If the stop sign reversal is enacted, warning signs informing drivers of the forthcoming change need
to be installed for a period of at least two weeks prior to the actual change.

Traffic Control Concerns - Esquire Way and Essence Trail
DATE:
May 15,2000
INTRODUCTION
At the April 17, 2000 City Council meeting, several residents in the Nelsen Hills
subdivision submitted a petition to Council requesting stop signs at the intersection of
Esquire Way and Essence Trail (see attached petition).
DISCUSSION
Staff has completed the review of the subject intersection. Attached is a memo from the
City's traffic engineer with the recommended traffic control for the study area.
Warrants for all-way stop control are not met at this intersection. However, installation
of a stop sign on Essence at Esquire is recommended to provide a positive right-of-way
control for the intersection.
In regards to the proximity of the park to the subject intersection, it is recommended to
establish a crosswalk from the trail along Essence across Esquire to the park. The
crosswalk and associated signing will serve the purpose of alerting vehicular traffic of the
crossing and the park and the potential for pedestrians crossing the street.
BUDGET IMPACT
The costs associated with the traffic control change are within the allocated 2000 Street
division budget.
ACTION REQUESTED
Council consensus authorizing staff to implement the recommended traffic control
changes along Esquire Way and at the intersection with Essence Trail.

Re: Safety at the intersection of Essence Trail, Esquire Way and Daisy Knoll
Park
Date: 04/6/00
We the residents of Nelsen Hills, City of Farmington are making a request out of
concern for the safety of our children and other residents of our area. Daisy Knoll Park at
the intersections of Essence Trail and Esquire Way has become a popular area for
children. In order to preserve the safety of this area we would like to request 4 stop signs
at the intersections near this park. Even with drivers maintaining the speed limit, 30
MPH is just to fast for drivers to stop quickly enough. Many drivers are unaware that a
park is even in the area.
One idea would be to have the police patrol that area more often. This would be a
band-aide fix. We would rather have our tax dollars go to 4 stops signs with a one time
cost of no more than $300. If you calculate the cost of patrolling that area for the above
stated reason or by investing our tax dollars for four stop signs you can see the financial
gain of doing this. But, cost should not be a factor for the safety of our children and the
residents. I am under the understanding that this intersection does not meet the State of
Minnesota's Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices. The question that you need to
ask yourself is, "do we act on what policies say or on what is best for the conservation of
life". To us that is an easy answer. Policies are meant to be challenged with the changing
of times and with the growth of an area.
On the following page you will see signatures from concerned residents of Nelsen
Hills and the City of Farmington.

Memorandum

City Engineer
FROM:
Shelly Johnson
DATE:
May 9, 2000
RE:
Esquire Way/Essence Trail- Farmington
Our File No. 141-Gen
It has been requested that traffic and pedestrian crossing controls be installed at the intersection of
Esquire Way and Essence Trail. This memorandum provides the analysis of that request.
The "T" intersection is presently uncontrolled. Both roadways are local residential streets. The area
land use is single family residential with a park on the north side of Esquire Way opposite the "T"
leg of Essence Trail. Traffic counts conducted by the city indicates an average daily volume ranging
between 300-500 on Esquire Way and approximately 50-60 vehicles on Essence Trail.
A trail (which doubles as a maintenance access) is in place at the intersection and intersects with
Esquire Way opposite Essence Trail. This trail proceeds southerly along the westerly side of
Essence Trail and then proceeds westerly through the housing development just a short distance
southerly of Esquire Way.
The intersection does not warrant or need all-way stop control. Placement of a stop sign controlling
Essence trail approach traffic would be a positive right-of-way control for the intersection. Such a
control is recommended.
Establishing a trail crossing of Esquire Way at this intersection would help to enforce the trail that
extends into the park area. The'placement of a trail crossing sign and painting of a crosswalk will
not guarantee additional safety for the crosswalk users. The signing will alert vehicular traffic of the
crossing in the hope that they may be more aware of the potential for pedestrians crossing. The
painted crosswalk informs the pedestrian of where they should cross the street.
Placement of a crosswalk at this location could create the "false sense of security" phenomenon.
Some people feel that traffic will stop if they are waiting to cross, but those are very few. A very,
very strong majority of persons will not cross a crosswalk (one in which traffic is not controlled by a
stop sign or signal) unless they are comfortable with the traffic gap. .It is my belief that very few

motorists stop when they see a pedestrian waiting to cross in a crosswalk. Some do, however, if they
feel they are not in danger of being rear ended by another vehicle.
I would recommend that a crosswalk and trail crossing signs be installed at this location to allow for
a path crossing the street and entrance to the trail that serves the park. This provides an area where a
"safe and legal haven" for crossing is possible and alerts the motorists to a potential situation of
which they should be aware. The key to my recommendation is that it is an entrance to a park. Be
cautioned that not all trail, or sidewalk crossings merit this type of treatment. Each situation needs
to be evaluated and reviewed to determine the best course of action.

Mr. Marv Wier was recognized for 10 years of service on the Water Board. He

6. CITIZEN COMMENTS
Mr. Anthony Pena, 18906 Embry Avenue, wanted to make Council aware of a speeding
problem that still exists on Embry Avenue. Cars rev their engines at the top of the hill,
speed down the hill and around the curve. He contacted the Police Department, but has
not seen anyone out there. After their first request the City installed a Steep Grade sign
and a Stop Ahead sign at the top of the hill. The residents would now like the speed limit
lowered. The Police will investigate the situation and respond.
Mr. Andrew Weisner, 18949 Embry Avenue, speeding is a big problem and it is not just
kids. It also occurs in the morning and evening. There are no speed limit signs in the
neighborhood. He would like speed bumps installed, and has assembled a neighborhood
watch to log cars traveling down the street and 911 calls. He also presented Council with
letters from two other residents. He would also like Children at Play signs. The Police
will investigate and respond.
Ms. Stephanie Juno, 18858 Embry Avenue, stated Embry Avenue seems narrower than
others in the neighborhood. Cars park on the street and it makes the bend in the road
narrower. It is a blind turn depending on the foliage growing in the area. She would also

like to see speed bumps. Officers that have patrolled the area, park in front of her home
and anyone coming down the hill can see them.
a) Citizens Concerns - Riverside Estates Development Proposal
Responses to the residents concerns raised at the April 17, 2000 meeting were
sent to the residents. Several residents were in attendance showing opposition to
the senior condo development in Riverside Estates.
Mr. Todd Arey, 20651 Devonshire Avenue, had several questions regarding
staff's response, including how much of the area is buildable and how many units
are proposed. Staff replied one acre is buildable and 50 units are proposed. The
residents are not convinced it will stay as senior condos, that it might be a site for
low income housing. Mr. Arey wanted to know what the requirements are. Staff
replied the zoning ordinance does not distinguish between owner-occupied and
rental, or between the value of the building and other houses in the area. Mr.
Arey asked if there was anything to prevent the building from switching. Staff
replied they are not aware of any low income housing that has amenities such as
underground parking. Mr. Arey stated the residents did not build their homes
with the understanding that 295 extra cars per day would be driving through the
neighborhood. The brochure the residents were given regarding the development
clearly states cul-de-sac. The residents feel they have been mislead by the
developer.
Mr. James Hanns, 20625 Devonshire Avenue, stated they were the first to build in
Riverside Estates. As others began to build, it was stated over and over,
especially on 207th Street that the property could not be developed. He was
wondering if that could be considered an oral contract. He thought the City
would be hesitant to work with developers who do not keep their promises. If
promises are made to deceive, that is not good, and should not be rewarded.
Mr. Fred Last, 4413 207th Street, stated more residents than just the cul-de-sac
have been told there would be nothing built there. There are about 70 children in
the neighborhood, and feels that would be an ideal area for a park.
Ms. Rhonda Rasmussen, 4232 207th Street, stated they chose the neighborhood
because they believed in what the builder was doing and it was a very close-knit
neighborhood. She is concerned about the children playing and the affect on the
quality of life.
Ms. Jennifer Molitor, 4440 207th Street, was also promised there was no way
anyone could build there due to the gas lines. They were promised it would be a
cul-de-sac and is concerned with the extra traffic.
Ms. Kelly Carufel, 4457 207th Street, stated their house is next to the field. She
wondered if there could be a compromise and build a house or a couple
Council Minutes (Regular)
May 1, 2000

townhouses. This would reduce the amount of traffic and would make the
neighborhood look better than a condo building.
Mr. Keith Carufel, 4457 207th Street, was told there would be no access to that
property. He thought there was access to the property from Pilot Knob at one
time, but now there is a guard rail. He was told by a few people that it was a done
deal. Mayor Ristow stated there are four regulations that need to be met.
Mr. Dave Mohr, 4435 207th Street, stated he is concerned with the behavior of the
developer. He has heard from nine families that were told the property would not
be developed. He was told by the developer they were lucky they did not build a
70 unit low income housing unit. He hoped there was something in the system of
City government that would provide for this abuse. Mayor Ristow stated this is
only a concept and nothing has been presented. It has to go through the Planning
Commission. Mr. Mohr then asked if the land could be rezoned. Councilmember
Soderberg stated the property owner would have to petition for rezoning.
Attorney Jamnik stated in dealing with real estate, most oral promises are not
enforceable.
Ms. Diane House, 4347 207th Street, wanted to know if when Jack Benedict
purchased the lots, if it was contingent on him buying the R-3 lot. She was told
Mr. Benedict purchased the 5.8 acres from Mr. Nordseth recently. That land was
not part of the development.
Ms. Kathy Bettinger, 4422 207th Street, asked if it was unusual for a developer to
put in housing and then build multi-family. Staff replied, typically multi-family is
done first, then single family units. However, several developments have done
single family first. Ms. Bettinger asked if there was anything the residents can do
to make this parkland. Staff replied the park dedication requirements have been
met.
Mr. Jeff House, 4347 207th Street, stated he is concerned about the number of cars
and the number of outlets onto the street. Mayor Ristow stated he appreciated
everyone's concerns, but right now it is only a concept. Until something is
presented and goes through the procedures, there is not much Council can do.
Ms. Judy Empey, 4402 207th Street, stated if it is conceptual, could a petition
change the zoning. Mayor Ristow stated the property owner has to petition for
rezoning.
The information will be forwarded to the Planning Commission, which will hold a
Public Hearing.

b) Citizen Concerns - Municipal Pool
Ms. Kathy Ellis, 600 Park Drive, stated they have 7 children and were thrilled last
year when they could buy a pool pass for $75 for the whole family. They
received a letter from the Recreation Division saying the pool passes would no
longer be available but were switching to ticket books. Last year they went 50
times. With the ticket books they would be able to go 6 times for the same
amount of money. The pool does not have water slides, or anything extra, but it is
a nice place for families to go. Their family will not be able to spend that much
money to go to the pool.
Councilmember Soderberg, stated he has had conversations with other residents
in the community. After some phone calls he began asking about the pool
situation. He has yet to find anyone who objects to having a pass for families in
the community. The pool is not an enterprise fund, it is an extension of the parks.
The City tries to recoup some of the cost for running the pool through admission
fees. He stated he would be in favor of having pool passes in the fee structure for
the community, even if it changes the operation such as having picture LD.'s.
Ms. Kathryn Ekness, 20665 Dallas Avenue, takes her granddaughter to the pool.
She buys a pass to watch her at the pool and would be willing to pay a lot more
for that pass. People at the pool begin to know the families who attend the pool.
If you want to use picture LO.'s, she did not think anyone would mind. She
would like the City to go back to the pool passes.
Ms. Kim Soderberg, 1312 Fairview Lane, stated she does not use the pool, but
feels it is a great benefit for the community. She would be willing to volunteer to
take pictures for LO.'s.
Staff stated they have had situations where families have someone staying with
them and bring them in under the season pass. The City does not know everyone
in Farmington, they used to, but not any more. Staff has proposed options to
Council, but will review the situation further and report back to Council.
c) Citizens Concerns - Traffic Control Esquire Way - Update
This item will be brought back to the May 15, 2000 Council Meeting.

d) Authorize Advertisement for Bids - Fire Department
Councilmember Verch would like to see the bid date extended to 45 days to June
15, 2000. He also would like to have three people go to at least the pre-
construction visit instead of two people. Administrator Erar stated the issue of
site visits has been discussed internally. The decision was made administratively
given the fact all bidders must provide a bidders bond, be a member of the Fire
Apparatus Manufacturers Association, provide a minimum of 10 references, and
warrant the apparatus for two years. Conversations with the City Attorney
indicated no visits were necessary unless a business justification could be made.
After niunerous discussions, Administrator Erar agreed to allow two visits with
two members each. Mayor Ristow stated what if there were three or four people
there and something was still missed. Councilmember Verch stated they would
like a third person there in case the other two do not agree.
Mr. Tim Pietsch, co-chair of the truck committee, stated there are some
inconsistences he would like to point out. The original document he received
from City Attorney Jamnik dated August 8, 1999, stated he questioned whether
the two paragraphs regarding the truck site visit are necessary, but it is a
traditional bid specification and some type of site visit at the bidders expense is
probably warranted given the size of the purchase and the significance to the
community. At that time, the committee put together 33 pages of documents that
spell out the truck construction. There are 34 items tied to the pre-construction
and pre-paint visits. In February they were told there would be no site visits. At
that time they proposed six people for three visits. Mayor Ristow stated the
protocol is that it goes through staff. He asked if changes can be addressed there,
and does not understand the purpose for anyone going. If there is no visit, could
the 34 items be done wrong? Mr. Pietsch replied the 34 items are tied to locations
of different materials. A fire truck is a very specific piece of equipment. Each
truck is different. In the committee's last memo they requested three people go.
They would have to make every decision without reporting back to the
committee. Give the magnitude of the purchase, one more person would not be
that much of a cost addition. At this time, they do not know where the truck will
be built.
Council Minutes (Regular)
May 1,2000
Page 6
Mr. Brad Parker, member of the committee, stated if three people go, they would
be able to make some decisions at that time. There have been several committee
meetings, but as they are volunteers, not everyone was at every meeting. A third
person would help to keep the process moving.
Mr. Tim Pietsch stated there are seven people on the truck committee. With three
people there would be a swing vote if two do not agree.
Councilmember Cordes asked what the reasoning is to go for a pre-paint. Mr.
Pietsch replied the reasoning is in case they find something that is not to their
desire before the vehicle is painted, it can be corrected. Otherwise, there could be
mismatches, or rusting in the future.
Council agreed to change the number of days for the bid from 30 days to 45 days.
MOTION by Verch to modify this item from two members to three. Motion died
for lack of a second. MOTION by Cordes, second by Soderberg, authorizing the
advertisement for bids for the purchase of a new Fire Department Pumper Truck.
Voting for: Ristow, Cordes, Soderberg, Strachan. Voting against: Verch.
MOTION CARRIED.
8. PUBLIC HEARINGS

10. PETITIONS, REQUESTS AND COMMUNICATIONS
a) Consider Resolution - East Farmington 7th Addition Preliminary and Final
Plat
Sienna Corporation proposes the final phase of the East Farmington PUD
development with the 7th Addition. The developer proposes 68 single family lots
in the 7th Addition preliminary and final plat. Approximately 15 feet of the
easterly portion of the property at 1004 Maple Street exists in the 11 th Street right-
of-way. The developer has been dealing with the owners of 1004 Maple Street
for six weeks in order to acquire the 15 feet of right-of-way. In order to keep the
Council Minutes (Regular)
May 1, 2000
Page 7
process going, Sienna is requesting to commence with eminent domain
proceedings in two weeks with a 90 day quick take.
Staff recommends approval of the Preliminary and Final Plat with the following
conditions:
1. Lots 9 and 10 Block 2 will not receive building permits until the proposed
easement or right-of-way that fronts these lots on 11 th Street has been
deeded to the City.
2. The Final Plat approval is contingent on the preparation and execution of
the Development Contract and approval of the construction plans for
grading, storm water and utilities by the Engineering Division.
Mr. John Jolly, 1004 Maple Street, stated this has not been a good process,
especially with the letter recently received. He questions the agreement made in
1994 which they were not informed of. The Jolly's first heard of this in March
and have tried to negotiate in good faith. There has been one meeting and a
couple phone calls. In his mind, this is not having negotiations. They do not feel
they are out of line with their request. They will be losing 27 years of privacy,
but are willing to reach an agreement.
Mr. Rod Hardy, Sienna Corporation, developer of East Farmington, stated in
terms of dealing with the resolutions, regarding the issue of the acquisition of the
easement, the correspondence from the Jolly's was received on Friday. Sienna is
prepared to meet with the Jolly's to arrive at one of the options they have brought
forth. Mr. Hardy stated the quality of communication is what is important, not the
number of meetings. He thought it might be beneficial to have someone from the
City attend the meeting.
Ms. Geraldine Jolly, 1004 Maple Street, asked in 1994 when the agreement was
agreed to by the Council, did the Council not have an obligation to notify the
property owners? Mayor Ristow stated the normal procedure would have been
for owners within 350 feet to be notified.
MOTION by Strachan, second bl Cordes adopting RESOLUTION R31-00
approving the East Farmington 7 Addition Preliminary and Final Plat contingent
on the above mentioned conditions. APIF, MOTION CARRIED.

SUBJECT: Historic Preservation - Selection and Designation Process
DATE: May 15,2000
INTRODUCTION
By ordinance the City Council may designate individual historic buildings and sites as
Farmington Heritage Landmarks. The City has been awarded a grant to aid in this
process.
DISCUSSION
The first step in the Landmark nomination process is to survey buildings and sites which
the HPC has reason to believe may be historically or architecturally important. The City
has been conducting a systematic survey of historic resources for several years.
At this time, the HPC would like to formally declare its intent to nominate a select group
of historic buildings for designation as Farmington Heritage Landmarks. This "finding of
significance" is simply an announcement that the properties listed below are worth
preserving and protecting under the laws of the City of Farmington:
>> D. F. Akin House, 19185 Akin Road
>> Church of the Advent, 412 Oak Street
>> Exchange Bank Building, 344 Third Street
>> Farmington State Bank Building, 320 Third Street
>> Masonic Temple Building, 324-328 Third Street
>> Fletcher Block, 345 Thirds Street
>> Lyric Theater Building, 314 Oak Street
>> Hamilton Clay House, 621 Oak Street
This finding of significance in no way commits the City to actually designating any
property as a Heritage Landmark; it simply starts the process. Informative meetings with
the property owners, Housing and Redevelopment Authority, Planning Commission, and
other interested parties will be held prior to the HPC's recommendation to Council for
designation.
BUDGET IMPACT
The survey information provided by Consultant Vogel will be paid for by grants funds.
ACTION REOUESTED
The HPC requests approval to begin the process of designating property to Heritage
Landmark status.

for the year 2000 to the Gerster Family, who cared enough to invest in a quality
restoration project that compliments the historic buildings in Farmington's
downtown. APIF, MOTION CARRIED.
Determination of Heritage Landmark Eligibility - The HPC declared its intent
to nominate a select group of historic buildings for designation as Farmington
Heritage Landmarks. This "findings of significance" is an announcement that it is

second by Flynn~ recommending conceptual approval of the following list of
properties by the City Council:
. D. F. Akin House, 19185 Akin Road (built in the 1850's). This pioneer era
farmhouse is already listed in the National Register of Historic Places but
warrants additional protection as a local landmark.
. Church of the Advent, 412 Oak St. (built in 1872). The old church was placed
on the National Register several years ago by the Minnesota Historical
Society .
. Exchange Bank Building, 344 Third Street (built in 1880). This recently
restored commercial building is also listed in the National Register but needs
to be designated a local landmark.
. Farmington State Bank Building, 320 Third St. (built in about 1910). This
building is one of the best preserved specimens of Modern architecture in the
City.
. Masonic Temple Building, 324-328 Third St. (built in 1917). An impressive
two-story red brick fa~ade that reflects the heritage of the old downtown
commercial district.
. Fletcher Block, 345 Third St. (built in 1877). The first "fire-proof'
commercial building in downtown and one of the oldest brick structures in
Farmington.
. Lyric Theater Building~ 314 Oak St. (built in 1931). A good example of an
Art Deco style movie house, it also shows the importance of movies in social
history .
. Hamilton Clay House, 621 Oak St. (built in 1905). An outstanding specimen
of late Victorian period domestic architecture.

MEMORANDUM
March 29, 2000
~O: tage Preservation Commission
FR: obert Vogel, Preservation Planning Consultant
. Determinations of Landmark Eligibility
By ordinance, the City Council may designate individual historic buildings and sites as
Fannington Heritage Landmarks. Heritage Landmarks are properties recognized as
possessing historical, architectural, archeological, or cultural significance. For a building
or site to qualify for designation as a Fannington Heritage Landmark, it must meet at
least one of the eligibility criteria set forth in the city's preservation ordinance, and it is
important to remember that only significant buildings and sites are eligible for landmark
status. The city's 1995 historic context study and 1999 comprehensive plan provide the
framework for evaluating the significance of individual historic properties within the city
limits. The Heritage Preservation Commission (HPC) is authorized to nominate
properties for Heritage Landmark designation. You have directed me to carry out the
necessary studies and recommend properties that are eligible for nomination.
The first step in the landmark nomination process is to survey (i.e., document) those
buildings and sites which the HPC has reason to believe may be historically or
architecturally important. As you know, the city has been conducting a systematic survey
of historic resources inside the city limits for several years. Though this study is not
complete, we have been able to compile an inventory of more than forty buildings that
appear to warrant consideration in community development planning.
At this time, I would like the HPC to formally declare its intent to nominate a select
group of historic buildings for designation as Fannington Heritage Landmarks. This
"finding of significance" is simply an announcement that in your opinion the properties
listed below are worth preserving and protecting under the laws of the City of
Fannington. The 8 properties are:
./ D. F. Akin House, 19185 Akin Rd. (built in the 1850's). This pioneer era farmhouse is
already listed in the National Register of Historic Places but warrants additional
protection as a local landmark.
./ Church of the Advent, 412 Oak St. (built in 1872). The old church was placed on the
National Register several years ago by the Minnesota Historical Society.
"
./ Exchange Bank Building, 344 Third St. (built in 1880). This recently restored
commercial building is also listed in the National Register but needs to be designated
a local landmark.
./ Farmington State Bank Building, 320 Third St. (built in about 1910). This building is
one of the best preserved specimens of Modem architecture in the city.
./ Masonic Temple Building, 324-328 Third St. (built in 1917). An impressive two-story
red brick fayade that reflects the heritage of the old downtown commercial district.
./ Fletcher Block, 345 Third St. (built in 1877). The first "fire-proof' commercial
building in downtown and one of the oldest brick structures in Farmington.
./ Lyric Theater Building, 314 Oak St. (built in 1931). A good example of an Art Deco
style movie house, it also shows the importance of movies in social history.
./ Hamilton Clay House, 621 Oak St. (built in 1905). An outstanding specimen of Late
Victorian period domestic architecture.
You may wish to issue your findings of significance in the form of a motion
recommending conceptual approval of the list by the City Council. This finding of
significance in no way commits the City to actually designating any property as a
Heritage Landmark: it simply starts the process.
A planning report will be written by staff to document each property nominated for
Heritage Landmark status. This report will identify and locate the historic resource,
explain how it meets one or more of the Heritage Landmark eligibility criteria, and make
the case for its historical or architectural significance. Please be aware that the landmark
registration process is an exacting one that takes months of staff work, negotiations with
property owners, and public meetings. The City has received a federal grant to prepare
landmark reports for up to five historic properties this year, and I hope to have the first
designation documents before the HPC this summer.
If you have any questions about the landmark designation process, please do not hesitate
to contact me at (651) 604-0174, e-mail <vogelOI4@tc.umn.edu>.

CITY OF FARMINGTON
HISTORIC PRESERVATION PROGRAM
1999 ANNUAL REPORT
Prepared by
Robert C. Vogel
Preservation Planning Consultant
Heritage Preservation Commission
City Hall
325 Oak Street
Farmington, Minnesota 55024
INTRODUCTION
This report briefly summarizes the activities of the city historic preservation program
during calendar year 1999.
The City of Farmington established its historic preservation program in 1992. The legal
authority for local government historic preservation activities rests in Minnesota Statutes
471.193 and Title 2, Chapter 11 of the City Code. The city came a certilied local
government (CLG) under the National Historic Preservation Act in 1994. Since 1995,
the city has used grants-in-aid from the Historic Preservation Fund administered by the
u. S. Department of the Interior to finance various historic preservation studies.
The city preservation program has six basic elements or service areas. They are:
. Historic preservation planning
. Identification of historic resources
. Evaluation of historic properties
. Registration of Farmington Heritage Landmarks
. Review of development projects and building permits
. Education and outreach
The Historic Preservation Element of the city's Comprehensive plan is the authoritative
guide for implementing the city's historic preservation policies. The plan articulates the
vision and mission of the city preservation program, establishes program goals and
policies, and provides the framework for identifying, evaluating, registering, and protecting
significant historic buildings and sites.
The seven-member Heritage Preservation Commission (HPC) has oversight over the city
preservation program and advises the City Council on matters of historic preservation
policy. The City Administrative Services Manager and the Historic Preservation
Planning Consultant provide the HPC with staff support. The Preservation Planning
Consultant is also responsible for directing the ongoing survey of Farmington's historic
resources.
1999 GOALS AND OBJECTIVES
~ part of its annual review of program performance, the HPC established the following
goals and objectives for 1999:
1. Hold a minimum of four regular meetings of the HPC.
2. Encourage attendance of all HPC members at regular meetings.
3. Recruit qualified applicants to fill HPC vacancies in a timely manner.
4. Begin nominating properties for registration as Farmington Heritage Landmarks.
5. Work with the Planning Commission to ensure that historic properties are t~en into
consideration in community development planning.
6. Implement the goals and policies of the comprehensive historic preservation plan.
7. Seek Certified Local Government matching grants-in-aid for local registration work.
In addition, the City approved the following Preservation Planning Consultant goals for
1999:
1. Carry out a reconnaissance-level survey of historic resources in the Main Street
Historic preservation Planning Area.
2. Provide public information, education, and training in historic preservation.
3. Review development projects and make recommendations to city staff and advisory
commissions.
4. Provide the city with a prioritized list of historic properties that are eligible for
registration as Farmington Heritage Landmarks.
5. Help establish a system for HPC records maintenance, including historic preservation
survey data.
6. Seek Certified Local Government matching grants-in-aid and other sources of
funding and assistance for the city historic preservation program.
Overall, the HPC and its staff were able to make progress toward most of the goals and
objectives. Important accomplishments are listed below.
MAJOR ACCOMPLISHMENTS IN 1999
o The Historic Preservation Element of the Comprehensive plan was developed and
adopted as the city's official preservation plan.
o The city's historic preservation ordinance was amended to implement the new policies
articulated in the comprehensive plan.
o HPC members and staff participated in the visioning process for the Comprehensive
plan and held a joint meeting with the Planning Commission to discuss issues of
concern to both commissions.
o The HPC reviewed the plans for a proposed new development and determined that the
project would have an adverse effect on the historic character of downtown
Farmington. The project was not approved by the city.
o The City applied for and was awarded a Certified Local Government grant to develop
registration documents for a minimum of five historic properties to be nominated for
2
designation as Farmington Heritage Landmarks. The Local Registration Project
commenced in October, 1999, and will be completed in July, 2000.
Cl The City renewed its annual retainer contract with Robert C . Vogel & Associates to
serve as Preservation Planning Consultant.
Cl The Farmington Historic Preservation Reporter, a monthly newsletter about the city
preservation program, was distributed to city officials and community organizations.
The Preservation Planning Consultant also contributed articles to the quarterly
Farmington Update and provided information to local media that resulted in several
favorable news articles.
Cl The HPC worked with the Parks Commission on development of a park-naming
policy.
Cl The city celebrated Preservation Week during the second week in May with a
proclamation, presentation of the second annual preservation service awards, and
participation in the Minnesota Preservation Conference in St. Peter.
Cl The HPC held four regular meetings and satisfied the pertinent federal and state
performance requirements for heritage preservation commissions.
Cl In its annual review of the city preservation program, the Minnesota Historical
Society concluded that Farmington retained its eligibility to participate in the
Certified Local Govemment partnership.
DISAPPOINTMENTS OF 1999
The year was not without its disappointments, however:
./ Work on the neighborhood historic resources survey was delayed by time and funding
constraints.
./ Long-time HPC member Patricia Murphy resigned and no new members were
recruited to fill existing vacancies. (All commission vacancies were filled early in 2000,
however.)
./ Two scheduled HPC meetings had to be canceled or postponed due to lack of quorum.
./ Very little progress was made toward reorganizing the HPC's growing collection of
preservation publications, reports, and other material.

INTRODUCTION
The 2000 Budget authorizes the asphalt overlay of the trail at Rambling River Park,
replacement of the manifold on the pool filtration system and the construction of a
balance tank for the gutter system.
DISCUSSION
The trail overlay project consists of three areas of trail from Spruce Street (ice arena) to
Willow Street (Kuchera Entrance in Rambling River Park). Area 1 covers the trail from
Spruce Street to County Road 50. This area is in need of the most work. Area 2 covers
the trail from the west parking lot in Rambling River Park to the railroad underpass. Area
3 covers the trail from the railroad underpass to Willow Street. The project was divided
into 3 separate parts for budgetary purposes. The quotes were favorable enough that the
entire trail can be repaired this year. The project will place a 1-1/2 inch asphalt overlay
over the entire trail.
The pool balance tank project has been modified since the adoption of the 2000 budget.
Staffhas worked with the City's consulting engineer to devise a means of accomplishing
surge capabilities by using the existing manhole at the pool. A small portion of deck
needs to be removed to replace piping from the gutter with a larger pipe. This
modification will perform as a balance tank and result in cost savings, as a balance tank
will not have to be purchased. The concrete decking will be replaced after all the piping
modifications have been completed.
In addition to the piping modifications, the old cast iron filtration manifold will be
replaced with a new plastic manifold. Plastic is the preferred material for pool operationswdue to the corrosiveness of chlorine.
BUDGET IMPACT
The low quote ($17,938.40) for the trail asphalt overlay project is within the approved
2000 Capital Outlay Budget.
The low quote for the piping modifications and filtration manifold is within the approved
project budget of $18,000.

Acknowledge City Street Width Standard
INTRODUCTION
The City of Farmington has received a number of requests from both residents and developers
concerning the need to approve more pedestrian-friendly subdivisions that include sidewalks and
the reduction of traffic speeds. At recent City Council meetings, Council members have
acknowledged the frustration of residents concerning the safety of their children because no
sidewalks are present in their neighborhood. And developers have approached the Council
concerning the desire to create more cohesive neighborhoods.
From the recent meetings at the Council, City staff has taken the initiative to review the current
City roadway standard for local streets to determine if modifications could be made to meet the
residents' and developers' expectations. The current City standard width for local streets is 32
feet measured from the face of curb to the face of curb within a 60-foot right-of-way. This
standard allows parking on both sides of the street, however, it does not require sidewalks to be
constructed.
As stated in the attached memo from Shelly Johnson, most local streets carry volumes in the
range of 100 to 500 vehicles per day. Parking is typically allowed on one or both sides of the
street depending on the amount of off-street parking (i.e. driveways, guest parking, etc.) provided
in a development.
City staff consulted with Bonestroo traffic engineers and a number of communities in the
metropolitan area (see attached matrix) to determine a logical modification to the local street
width standard of32 feet. City staff determined that a favorable modification to the current street
standard would be to reduce the width by four feet, thereby allowing for an 8- foot parking lane on
one-side of the street and a 20-foot drive lane for two-way traffic.
Therefore, City staff proposes a 28-foot wide street standard for certain types of local streets
within a 60-foot right-of-way, allowing parking on one side of the street and the requirement ofa
sidewalk on the opposite side of the street. City staff feels that this proposal would meet with the
residents' and developers' expectations of providing a sidewalk within the neighborhood while
also reducing the street width, thereby introducing a traffic calming mechanism. With the
proposed modification, pedestrian safety would be enhanced because the residents could utilize
the sidewalk rather than be limited to walking in the street.
The attached information sheet discusses criteria that would be considered when allowing 28- foot
wide streets in a private development. The criteria is representative of planning issues that may
be considered for the approval of the standard street modification. One or more of the criteria
may constitute the allowance of the 28- foot street if approved through the Development Approval
Process. The sheet also discusses benefits of the 28-foot wide street.
In approving the standard street modification, the developer would follow the Development
Approval Process, whereby; the Development Committee would evaluate and forward a
recommendation to the Planning Commission and they would forward a recommendation to the
City Council. This development process would essentially remain unchanged from the existing
review process other than citing issues affecting a 28- foot street width.
At the May 9, 2000 Planning Commission meeting, the Commissioners reviewed the proposed
28-foot wide street modification. It was a consensus of the Planning Commission that the 28-foot
wide street standard be allowed as long as the criteria was followed on the information sheet.
Additionally, the Commissioners requested that the City Council review the need for sidewalks
on both sides of the 28-foot wide street to increase pedestrian safety and provide aesthetics to the
neighborhood. However, the Commissioners also understand the possible maintenance costs
associated with additional sidewalks in the City and the increased costs to the developer for the
installation of these sidewalks.
The Planning Commission also requested that the City Council review the need for the
installation of sidewalks on both sides of the 32-foot wide street standard, however, they
understand that this review could be discussed at a later date.
ACTION REOUESTED
Acknowledge the creation of an additional standard local street width to allow for 28-foot street
widths within a 60-foot right-of-way in instances where the criteria is met.

RE:
Residential Street Width
Our File No. 141-Gen
Residential (local) streets provide access to immediately adjacent properties. Volume of traffic
on local residential streets is usually low (less than 1,000 vehicles per day). Most local streets
carry volumes in the range of 100 to 500 vehicles per day. Parking is usually provided on one or
both sides of the street depending upon adequacy of off-street parking provided for development.
There are some instances where parking is not allowed on certain residential streets, but these are
usually due to circumstances that have been unforeseen.
A local residential street has its major function as providing access to adjacent properties.
Accident occurrences are low along residential streets. There are many factors that are
considered in residential street design. Some of these are street width, right-of-way, sidewalk,
emergency access, need for parking, volume expectancy, design, speed, boulevard width, and
topography.
This memorandum will discuss street width as it relates to a Farmington policy. Presently,
Farmington policy for residential streets is 32 feet from face of curb to face of curb. Staff has
been discussing the allowance of an additional policy, which would allow certain residential
streets to be 28-feet wide from face of curb to face of curb. Such a width would be allowable
dependant upon review of numerous criteria (reported in a separate paper).
The question arises - is this width effective and safe for those new streets that, after review of
site plans, are deemed to be worthy candidates for 28 feet rather than 32 feet?
A 28-foot local residential street would allow for parking on one side. Parking demand in newly
developed suburbs accommodated off-street and very rarely is on-street parking an issue that
requires both side parking. This eight-foot parking lane would leave 20 feet for two lanes of
traffic. This width is satisfactory for accommodating two-way traffic on the low volume local
streets. This width is also acceptable for accommodating fire emergency vehicles. The 28-foot
residential street is safe and does not provide an inherent accident potential to exist due to its
width. Sidewalks on one or both sides of the street are desirable with sidewalks on both sides
being preferable to maximize pedestrian safety. The benefits that are perceived for the 28-foot
width are real. It must again be noted that only certain local streets should be considered for
such width. Local street widths of 32 feet will still be predominant.

28-Foot Residential Street
60-Foot Right-of-Way
Requirements
Information Sheet
The City of Farmington currently requires a residential street standard of 32-feet in width measured from
the front of each curb with 60-foot right-of-ways. Developers in the City have recently proposed the
reduction of the street standard to provide a better quality of life for homeowners through the introduction
of sidewalks and the reduction of local roadway widths leading to the reduction of traffic speeds.
The City of Farmington has reviewed these requests and has determined that a modification to the 32-foot
standard is allowed under certain conditions. Although the 28-foot wide treattnent isn't applicable for all
residential streets. the City may approve the roadway width modification to 28 feet measured from the front
of each curb within a 60-foot right-of-way. The following is representative of planning issues that may be
considered for the approval of 28-foot wide residential streets:
1. Allowed in highly dense developments.
2. Proposed developments that reside near land that is environmentally sensitive including wetlands,
floodways, slopes or natural areas to reduce pavement and runoff from large expanses of paved
surfaces.
3. Proposed developments where street grades are steep and require the reduction of traffic through the
reduction of the roadway width.
4. The functional classification of the roadway (Le. local, collector) will be a primary consideration.
5. The reduction of road widths suggests traffic calming thereby slowing vehicles in the presence of
neighborhood parks, multiple driveways. etc.
6. The need for sidewalks on at least a minimum of one side is required, however sidewalks on both sides
of the street will be encouraged to enhance pedestrian safety.
7. The 28-foot roadway requires an 8-foot parking lane on one side and a 20-foot width for two-way
traffic flow.
8. The development is part of a PUD where the preservation and enhancement of desirable site
characteristics and open space are recommended.
Benefits of28-foot residential streets
1. The residential quality of life is improved. This is a qualitative benefit that is perceived by persons
living on a residential street that is lesser in width than those built in the past. This may provide for a
more cohesive neighborhood.
2. Allows for the preservation of existing slopes when the site topography is generally rolling.
3. Construction cost savings.
4. Pedestrian safety may be enhanced through the installation of sidewalks.
5. Maintenance and rehab (seal coat/rebuild) cost savings.
6. Reduces runoff because of decreased pavement surfaces.
7. Saves on natural resources (construction materials).
8. Less pavement for pedestrians to cross.
9. Promotes a leisurely walking annosphere.
10. Boulevard trees between the roadway and the sidewalk provide a pedestrian zone that feels safe.
II. Additional width can go to boulevards and landscape treattnents.
12. Lesser width reduces visual effect of a "speedway" thus introducing lesser driving speeds by motorists.
This translates to a potential accident reduction benefit.
13. Traffic calming effect.

Consider Resolution - Tamarack Ridge Preliminary PlatlPreliminary PUD
INTRODUCTION
James Development Company proposes to develop approximately 64 acres east of Trunk
Highway 3, south of County Road 66, west of the Prairie Waterway and Cambodia Avenue and
north of 208th and 209th Streets. The developers propose single and multi-family residential
within the development along with a commercial site along TH 3. The property was rezoned to
R-3 PUD on February 7, 2000 to provide for a variety ofland uses.
DISCUSSION
Phasing of the Development
James Development Company will develop the single-family residential property. The Developer
proposes 73 single-family lots. The lots range from a minimum of 9,000 to 18,000 square feet.
Construction of the single-family homes will begin this summer after grading of the site and
approval of the final plat is completed. A large percentage of the lots will be limited to split-entry
homes because of the high water table; however, the Developer proposes full-basement homes on
as many lots as possible. The housing prices may range from $120,000 to $180,000.
The Carriage Homes will be developed by Centex Homes and will consist of 134 two-story
condominiums in 8 to 10-unit buildings and will be part of a homeowner's association. The
Carriage Homes will begin construction this summer.
The Farmington Family Townhome project will be constructed by Jim Deanovic of Farmington
Family Housing Limited Partnership. The project will consist of 32 rental units on 3.8 acres in
the southwestern portion of the site. The Developer proposes the Farmington Family Townhomes
to be developed within the first year of the approval by the City.
The Developer anticipates the commercial area will be developed within 3 to 5 years. Possible
uses within the commercial area include a gas station, dry cleaner, insurance office, etc. along
with a possible location of a day care within the 7.1-acre site. Further discussions concerning the
commercial uses on the site will commence when the Developer plats the commercial area.
Water supply access is proposed along the Trunk Highway 3 right-of-way along the east side of
the roadway and along the existing SE sanitary sewer. The City's 2000 Trunk Water Main
project will bring the water main up Trunk Highway 3 from its current terminus at the American
Legion and along the SE Trunk Sanitary Sewer line from Bristol Square to service the Tamarack
Ridge project. City sewer currently exists within the eastern and central portions of the site.
The developer proposes a 4.5-acre park area on the southern portion of the property along 209th
Street and Cantana Avenue. The Parks & Recreation Commission has approved a ballfield and
play structure in the park. Bituminous paths are located throughout the project and will be a part
of the City's trail system. The trail shown on the plat runs from west to east along 209th Street
then turns north along the west side of the proposed neighborhood park in Outlot B. The trail
eventually runs along the north side of 209th Street to the east and will connect with the trail in the
Prairie Waterway.
Planning Commission Meeting - May 9, 2000
At the May 9, 2000 Planning Commission meeting a number of issues were discussed prior to
approval of the preliminary plat by the Planning Commission. The issues included the following:
I. The Dakota County Plat Commission denial of the originally proposed northerly access from
the single-family area onto CSAH 66.
2. Engineering staff has made the determination that the pond north of CSAH 66 was not
necessary .
3. Empire Township and their residents had not finalized their decision to come into the City
and connect to City water service.
CSAH 66 Access Issue
Dakota County's Plat Commission reviewed the accesses along CSAH 66 on April 3, 2000 and
determined that the northerly access was too close to the driveways to the north (approximately
150 feet) and should be relocated to the south to meet the County's Access Spacing Guidelines of
an 1/Sth mile of 660 feet (see attached). Relocating the access to this area would place the single-
family access on the tangent point of CSAH 66 to provide better site distances.
The Developer and the City met with the Dakota County Plat Commission on May I, 2000 to
discuss the northerly access issue from the single-family area and possibly request a variance
from the County's spacing guidelines. The Plat Commission did not see a hardship or
justification for a variance at this location to allow for such a severe departure from the County's
guidelines, therefore, the Plat Commission did not recommend approval of the access at the
originally proposed location (see attached letter dated May 2,2000).
James Development has requested that the City prepare a request for variance letter to the Plat
Commission and attach the revised Tamarack Ridge Preliminary Plat for review at the May 15,
2000 Dakota County Plat Commission meeting. The revised preliminary plat has the easterly
access along CSAH 66 located approximately 550 feet from the existing driveways. The Plat
Commission will be meeting the morning of May 15, 2000 to review the revision. Staff will
present the Plat Commission's decision at the Council meeting.
2
Pond Issue
The Developer has coordinated with engineering staff to discuss the need for the pond north of
CSAH 66. It was determined that the pond was not required because the stormwater ponding on-
site was of sufficient size and could control the runoff from the development and surrounding
areas adequately. As a result, the construction of the pond and annexation of land north of CSAH
66 is no longer included in the Developer's plans.
Water Main Issue on 20tjh Street
The township residents along the south side of 209th Street have expressed a desire to connect to
water service. City staff has been coordinating with Empire Township to assist the residents in
determining whether to connect to the Township's water system or to annex into the City and
connect to the City's system. As part of coming into the City, the residents along 209th Street
would also be assessed for a portion of the street construction costs of 209th Street. A meeting of
the Township's planning commission was held on May 2, at which time the Township residents
considered the cost comparisons for connecting to Township versus City water service. City staff
attended that meeting and the outcome of the discussion indicated that the majority of the
Township residents preferred to connect to the City's water system. It was staffs understanding
at this time that the final decision would be confirmed at the following Town Board meeting,
scheduled for May 9, 2000.
At the Town Board meeting that was held on May 9, the Town Board confirmed the resident's
decision to annex to the City and connect to City water service. It is proposed at this time that the
residents along 209th would remain connected to their existing Township sewer service and
continue to pay the Township for sewer service. Therefore, a joint powers agreement between
the City and the Township needs to be implemented to address the various issues involved with
the maintenance and operation of the Township sewer in the City.
ACTION REQUESTED
Consider a resolution approving the Tamarack Ridge Preliminary Plat contingent upon the
following items:
1. The Dakota County Plat Commission approves a variance from their spacing guidelines
for the northerly access to CSAH 66.
2. The City and Empire Township resolve the water main issues within the 209th Street
right-of-way and street construction issues for 20Sth and 209th.
3. All engineering issues are addressed.

Re:

TAMARACK RIDGE
The Dakota County Plat Commission met on May 1, 2000, to reconsider the preliminary plat of
TAMARACK RIDGE. Said plat is adjacent to CSAH 66, and is therefore, subject to the Dakota County
Contiguous Plat Ordinance.
The County's Access Spacing Guideline for this section of CSAH 66 is one-eighth mile. A revised
preliminary plat was submitted for review showing an additional access on CSAH 66. The new access is
located one-eighth mile east of State Highway 3 and meets the guidelines. The revised preliminary plat still
shows an access for proposed Street B, which is located within one-eighth mile of driveways to the north..
The Plat Commission previously did not recommend this access point and suggested it be moved south to
maintain the access guideline. This would also place the access on the tangent portion of CSAH 66 to
provide better site distances. The developer and City requested that this access point be allowed. The Plat
Commission did not see a hardship or justification for allowing this severe a departure from the guidelines,
especially on a highway with a speed limit of 55 miles per hour. The safety of spacing must be maintained
wherever possible. The City and developer stated that they would look at moving the access westerly. If
any proposed access is less than the eighth mile guideline, the revised preliminary plat must be accompanied
by a letter from the City requesting a variance.
The County's Right of Way Guideline is 55 feet of half right of way for a two-lane rural highway.
The Ordinance requires submittal of a final plat before a recommendation is made to the County Board.
Traffic volumes on CSAH 66 were 2,650 in 1996 and are anticipated to be 4,5ooADT by the year 2020.
These traffic volumes indicate that current Minnesota noise standards for residential units could be exceeded
for the proposed plat. Residential developments along County highways commonly result in noise
complaints. In order for noise levels from the highway to meet acceptable levels for adjacent residential
units, substantial building setbacks, buffer areas, and other noise mitigation elements should be incorporated
into this development.
No work shall commence in the County right of way until a permit is obtained from the County Highway
Department and no permit will be issued until the plat has been filed. The Plat Commission does not review
or approve actual engineering design of proposed accesses and other improvements made in the right of
way. The permit process reviews the design and may require construction of highway improvements not
discussed during plat reviews, including, but not limited to, turn lanes, drainage features, etc.

The Dakota County Plat Commission met on April 3, 2000 to consider the preliminary plat of TAMARACK

Ordinance.
The County's Right of Way Guideline is 55 feet of half right of way for a 2-lane rural highway.
The County's Access Spacing Guideline is an 1/8lh mile. On the preliminary plat it appears the access point
for proposed Street B is located within an eighth mile of driveways to the north. TIlls access point must be
moved south to maintain the access spacing guideline. This would also place the access on the tangent
portion of CSAH 66 to provide better site distances. The preliminary plat shows no additional accesses
from CSAH 66 and therefore the remaining frontage should dedicate restricted access on the final plat The
preliminary plat should be resubmitted showing a revised location for the public street access to
CSAH 66.
The Ordinance requires submittal of a final plat before a recommendation is made to the County Board
Traffic volumes on CSAH 66 are 2,650 and are anticipated to be 4,500 ADT by the year 2020. These traffic
. volumes indicate that current Minnesota noise standards for residential units could be exceeded for the

Public Outdoor Art in Farmington - DV AC
May 15,2000
INTRODUCTION
DATE:
Throughout the country, many communities are discovering the benefits of publicly
displayed art. With a desire to introduce public art in Farmington, the Dakota Valley
Arts Council (DV AC) applied for and received a grant to aid in this process. A copy of
the DV AC Board of Directors and Officers is attached.
DISCUSSION
The DV AC worked with Mr. Jack Becker to research the possibilities of bringing
Outdoor Art to Farmington. A group of stakeholders attended three sessions presented by
Mr. Becker. Information presented included what other cities have done, provided an
overview of possibilities, the process of such an undertaking, the values to the
community, and how Farmington might reach such a goal.
At the fInal session the group identified two projects they would like to implement within
the next six months contingent on funding and availability of appropriate art pieces:
. The placement of art objects in the Depot Park Way. The Richfield Sculpture Garden
will be soliciting a large number of sculptures from Twin City area artists. Mr.
Becker has offered to give us access to this information so that we may consider art
pieces on a temporary basis. After the committee reaches a proposed decision of
which pieces will be placed in the park, the details will be established. The property
is owned by the HRA and requires their approval along with approval from the Park
and Recreation Commission for usage of the park.
. The Green Chair Project. A brochure has been enclosed, explaining the project
which was brought to the group by Joel Sisson, a former resident of Farmington. The
chairs come in 12' or 7' height and are available for lease or purchase. Either of these
options allows visitors to climb the chair and it has been found to attract many
visitors for picture taking. The proposed location for the Green Chair is next to the
mural in the vacant lot between the Steak House and the old Eagles Club building or
the green space at the intersection of 3cd and Spruce Streets (Farmington Green).
Either location requires approval of the HRA.
Staff recommendation on Liability and property insurance considerations is attached
BUDGET IMPACT
The Dakota Valley Arts Council will be soliciting funding through grants and from
various organizations, businesses and individuals to bring these projects to fruition.
ACTION REOUIRED
The Park and Recreation Advisory Commission on 5/3/00 and the Housing and
Redevelopment Board on 5/8/00 gave a favorable recommendation to the project. Prior
to the placement ofDV AC's final recommendation of art objects, this will be brought
back to Council for final approval.
The DV AC is seeking Council approval of the proposed location of Art Objects in Depot
Park Way, and for the proposed placement of The Green Chair Project next to the mural
in the vacant lot on 3cd Street or in Farmington Green.
Respectfully submitted,

Liability and Property Insurance considerations-Public Outdoor Art
DATE:
May 2, 2000
After consultation with the City's insurance agent, Brian Lundquist, I believe that your questions
regarding liability and property insurance on outdoor art, located on City property in Farmington
can be answered as follows:
1. Individual pieces of artwork, which are owned by another (private) party would be
insured by that party for property damage or theft. A certificate of insurance
would be required for the artwork.
2. City liability insurance would cover the City property on which the artwork would
be placed, similar to a piece of park equipment in a City park.
3. No additional premium would be required on the part of the City.
Respectively submitted,

SUBJECT: Consider Resolution Authorizing Condemnation of Private Property for
Public Purposes - East Farmington 7th Addition
DATE: May 15,2000
INTRODUCTION
The City has received a request from Sienna COrPOration to initiate condemnation of
approximately 15' of right-of-way needed to extend 11 th Street through East Farmington
7th Addition.
DISCUSSION
This request was considered at the May 1, 2000 City Council meeting and was continued
to the May 15, 2000 to allow additional time for Sienna Corporation and Mr. and Mrs.
Jolley to reach an agreement on a purchase price for needed right-of-way. Additional
discussions and correspondence has occurred between Sienna and the Jolleys, however as
of Wednesday, May 10th, an agreement had not been reached.
Article 6.4 of the PUD Agreement between the City and Sienna, provides that upon
receiving a written request from the Developer, the City within 30 days will exercise its
power of eminent domain to acquire the needed property in order to complete the
development.
While adoption of the attached resolution will initiate the condemnation of the required
right-of-way, private negotiations can still take place during the 90-day quick take
process.
BUDGET IMPACT
The PUD Agreement with Sienna Corporation requires that they reimburse the City for
all costs associated with the condemnation and acquisition.
ACTION REOUESTED
Consider the attached resolution to authorize condemnation of private property for the
public purpose of construction of 11 th Street right-of-way necessary to serve the East
Farmington 7th Addition.
Respectfully submitted,

SUBJECT:
Consider Municipal Pool Rate Structure Revision
DATE:
May 15, 2000
INTRODUCTION
At the May 1, 2000 Council Meeting, residents again expressed concerns regarding the
introduction of ticket books in place of season passes at the Swimming Pool. Council
directed staff to devise a revision to the approved admission schedule, which allows for
season passes in the 2000 Swimming Pool Fee Schedule.
DISCUSSION
Staff has studied the season pass issue at the Swimming Pool and would like to propose the
following:
. Only Resident Season Passes would be available for sale. As the City's primary objective
is to serve City taxpayers, season passes would be offered only to residents at this level of
discount.
. 2000 Season pass rates: $50.00 for each Individual Season Pass.
$120.00 for a Family Pass of 4 persons or less.
$25.00 for each additional immediate family member.
. Each family member will be given a Season Pass card and number with their registration.
. Lost card may be replaced with a $1 replacement fee.
Since ticket books were advertised on the web, in the Parks and Recreation brochure and City
newsletter and since customers have purchased ticket books already, it would be advised to
continue to also offer ticket books. Staff proposes to add additional features to the current
ticket book admissions. They are as follows:
. Purchase 5 books at the regular price at one time and get 1 book free. Cost of individual
admittance will be reduced to $1.25 for residents, with a higher cost for non-residents
($1.50).
. Hand stamps will continue to be used to allow patrons to leave and return during the same
session.
. Unused tickets would be good until August of the following year.
The "Deal of the Century" that was presented at the May 1, 2000 City Council meeting has
been eliminated as a result of offering the season passes. Non-residents will be provided with
the opportunity to purchase ticket books as described above.
BUDGET IMPACT
The re-establishment of Season Passes will add to the amount of funds needed from the
general fund levy. The attached financial analysis reflects the level of City general fund
subsidy over the last several years.
ACTION REOUESTED
Consider adopting a resolution establishing the Season Pass Fees as described above and
retain the current ticket book system of admissions to the Swimming Pool with the above
marketing features to the ticket book sales. If approved, a new notice would be sent to all
1999 season pass holders.
Respectfully submitted,
