CITIZEN COMMENTS Ms. Mary Ellen Smith, 2137 250th Street W, and Ms. Sandy Weber, 24650 Akron Avenue expressed their concerns regarding the Kramer Limestone Quarry proposed for Waterford Township and how it will affect the water in the surrounding areas. The proposed pit is very huge and will be located between 280th Street and 300th Street and will cover 600 acres with the buffer and go down to 40 feet above the Jordan aquifer. The area affected has a water table about 10 feet below the surface and is made of limestone that has many cracks. The area is very susceptible to pollution. The quantity of water disposed of every day will be 20,000 gallons per minute. Dakota County is dependent on the Jordan aquifer. If this becomes polluted it will be very detrimental. They are also concerned with the truck traffic. At the beginning there will be 10 truck runs per day. The trucks could use Hwy 3 or Hwy 50 up to County Road 42. There is a safety hazard issue and a pollution issue from the dust. Waterford Township will be reviewing the issue in terms of land use. There is a moratorium in Waterford which started last year and it will expire in September. If approved, the pit would open in the Fall of2001 and would operate for 100 years. They would like support from Farmington to prevent approval of the pit. Councilmember Strachan suggested the issue be referred to the Water Board. Mr. Tim Dougherty, 517 Spruce Street, stated he would like stop signs evaluated for Spruce Street. He has noticed many speeding cars on Spruce Street, as there is not a stop sign on Spruce from 3rd Street to Hwy 3. He suggested stop signs at 6th Street and Spruce Street. Staff will research the situation and respond. Council Minutes (Regular) March 6, 2000 Page 2 7.

PUBLIC HEARINGS a) Consider Conditional Use Permit - Excavation, Grading, and Mineral Extraction - Lew Wurdeman Friedges Landscaping has submitted an Excavation, Grading and Mineral Extraction application on behalf of Lew Wurdeman for continued mining of the Wurdeman property at 5827 West 210th Street. The City sent a letter to Mr. Wurdeman on January 17, 2000 explaining the mining permit for the property had expired because the deadline of December 17, 1999 for the renewable annual permit was not met. The City received the extraction application permit for the Wurdeman mining pit on January 10, 2000. Therefore, a Conditional Use Permit for an Excavation, Grading and Mineral Extraction permit is required for the Wurdeman property before the permit can be reinstated. Staff inspected the mining pit in November of 1999 and acknowledged that concrete stored from the CSAH 50 road project might be located on portions of the Wurdeman site. A letter submitted by Friedges, Inc. states that the concrete proposed to be recycled from the road project has been removed from the Wurdeman property as of February 16,2000. The recommended hours of operation will be Monday through Friday from 7:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. and Saturday from 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. Councilmember Soderberg stated the concrete was required to be removed in October of 1996 and asked why it took so long to get it moved, and was it moved to the Huber property? Mr. Todd Brennan representing Friedges, Huber, and Wurdeman stated the concrete was put on Wurdeman property by mistake. It takes 3-4 years to gather enough to crush it. He did not read the wording correctly from 1996 until now regarding the conditional use of the property. MOTION by Soderberg, second by Cordes to close the Public Hearing. APIF,mMOTION CARRIED. MOTION by Cordes, second by Strachan to approve the Conditional Use Permit for Excavation, Grading and Mineral Extraction Permit for the Wurdeman property contingent on the proposed hours of operation and adherence to engineering requirements. APIF, MOTION CARRIED. Council Minutes (Regular) March 6, 2000 Page 3 b) Consider Conditional Use Permit - Excavation, Grading, and Mineral Extraction - Helen M. Huber Estate Friedges Landscaping, Inc. has submitted an Excavation, Grading and Mineral Extraction application for continued mineral extraction of the Helen M. Huber property at 210th Street and Fairgreen Avenue. Friedges proposes to extract fill, back haul topsoil for future restoration, stockpile concrete from projects for future crushing, and extract an existing crushed concrete stockpile from previous crushing activities. The City received the renewable annual permit for the Huber mining pit on January 19,2000. In November of 1999, Mr. John Tschohl who owns property directly to the west of the Huber property requested that the City review the Huber site for code violations for the storage of junk vehicles and miscellaneous junk on the property. City staff inspected the mining pit in November of 1999 and found that concrete from the CSAH 50 project continues to be stored on the site. Additionally, rubbish was located in the southern pit area, which needs to be removed regularly. The Planning Commission recommended approval of the mining permit contingent on the submittal of a schedule to clean up the property. The City received a letter on February 29, 2000 from Curt Huber, that states the clean up will begin in the spring and will be completed by June 15,2000. The hours of operation will be Monday through Friday from 7:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. and Saturday from 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. Mr. Todd Brennan stated the City has been very good in supplying him the information necessary to do this. He thanked Lee Smick for her assistance and good communication. MOTION by Soderberg, second by Strachan to close the Public Hearing. APIF, MOTION CARRIED. MOTION by Soderberg, second by Cordes to approve the Conditional Use Permit for Excavation, Grading and Mineral Extraction Permit for the Helen M. Huber Estate contingent on the completion of the clean up of the items mentioned in the February 29, 2000 letter by June 15,2000, on the proposed hours of operation and adherence to engineering requirements. APIF, MOTION CARRIED. 9. AWARD OF CONTRACT 10.

APIF, MOTION CARRIED. b) 2000 Streetscaping Project - Schedule Council Workshop Date Bids for the Streetscaping Project were received on February 17, 2000. Given the complexity of this project, and the fact that a number of original design assumptions for this project have changed since the feasibility study, the need to Council Minutes (Regular) March 6, 2000 Page 4 schedule a Council workshop to review the low project bid is recommended. A workshop was scheduled for March 14,2000. 11. UNFINISHED BUSINESS 12. NEW BUSINESS 13.

It was agreed to continue ticketing until April 15, 2000, and towing would be done in the event of snow. City Engineer Mann: Minutes and resident comments were given to Council on the Akin Road neighborhood meeting. Residents were told a summary of the meeting and resident comments would be mailed to them.

DISCUSSION This event will be held on St. Michael's property located at 22120 Denmark Ave. Per State Statute, a Temporary Liquor license must first be approved by the City and then forwarded to the State for approval. BUDGET IMPACT This is a first time request for a Temporary On-Sale Liquor License, therefore a City fee has not been established. In discussion with the Liquor Control Commission, staff was informed that the State of Minnesota waives all fees for Temporary Liquor Licenses for non-profit organizations. ACTION REOUESTED Approve the attached application for a Temporary Liquor License for St. Michael's Church, 22120 Denmark Ave., for their Spring Fundraiser, May 17,2000. As the City Council has not adopted a fee for this permit, and the State of Minnesota waives all fees in this type of situation, Council may waive any fees associated with this request. Accordingly, no license fee is proposed at this time.

DISCUSSION Approximately one-half of the rear parking lot will be re-sloped, to provide better drainage of the rainwater from the roof. The rear doorsill will have to be raised approximately five inches, and a new door and doorframe installed. This improvement will prevent water, from the roof, from back-flowing towards the rear door, and allow better drainage to the alley. This improvement will address safety issues due to the formation of ice in the winter on the south side of the lot. This is also a building preventative maintenance measure, because of the back-flow of water against the building. Work will begin on raising the back door, with a temporary delivery ramp in the near future. The parking lot improvement will occur in mid-summer. This project is being engineered and coordinated by the City's Engineering Division. BUDGET IMPACT The cost of the above improvement is within the Liquor Operation's year 2000 Capital Outlay Budget.

DISCUSSION Staffhas completed a study of the costs associated with staffmg the Swimming Pool basket room operation versus utilizing self-locking lockers. There has not been extensive use of the baskets over the past year. Most pool facilities have eliminated basket rooms and added lockers to their facilities. This improvement allows patrons to secure their possessions while eliminating associated staffmg costs. The purchase of lockers would amount to annual savings for the City and would efficiently continue to allow the public to secure items while utilizing the facility. BUDGET IMPACT Basket room staffmg is budgeted at $4,312 for the 2000 season. This exceeds the amount needed to purchase the necessary lockers. The lowest quote received for the necessary lockers is $3,131.02. The savings in the 2000 budget will be $1, 181. A small portion of the savings will be used to remodel the entryway and security door to the lockers. City staffwill perfonn the entryway and security door work.

Siebenaler Chief of Police SUBJECT: Squad car logo DATE: March 20, 2000 INTRODUCTION The current design and logo used on the Farmington Police Department was introduced in 1995. In an effort to remain contemporary in this highly visible patrol activity, the logo has been redesigned. DISCUSSION Staff has worked with representatives of the GrafflX Shoppe, Inc., in Eagan, MN to design a new logo for police squad cars. After review of several alternatives, a single design and color combination has been selected. BUDGET IMPACT The total cost of the redesigned logo for four squad cars will be $1,560. While this amount was not specifically provided in the 2000 budget it can be funded by cost savings associated with the lower than anticipated purchase price for the 2000 squad car. The remainder of the cost will be funded through the City's Capital Acquisition Fund. A budget re-appropriation will be submitted in November of this year to reflect the additional cost which has been reviewed and approved by the Finance Department.

Mann, P.E., Director of Public Works/City Engineer SUBJECT: Public Hearing - 2000 Seal Coat Project DATE: March 20,2000 INTRODUCTION At the February 22, 2000 City Council meeting, the Council accepted the feasibility report and scheduled a public hearing for March 20, 2000, on the 2000 Seal Coat project. DISCUSSION The 2000 Seal Coat project is the seventh project in the City's seal coat program established by the City of Farmington in 1994. The seal coat program is implemented in a seven-year cycle. The streets in Nelsen Hills 4th and 5th Additions, Troyhills I st through 4th Additions, Industrial Park 1st and 2nd Additions, East Farmington 1st and 2nd Additions, Prairie Creek 4th Addition, and Elm Street east of Highway 3 are due to be seal coated for the first time. Several downtown streets have not been seal coated in over seven years and are proposed to be included in the project this year. The downtown areas include: Linden Street, Willow Street, Pine Street between Third Street and Highway 3, Third Street between Elm Street and Pine Street, Fourth Street between Elm Street and Willow Street, Fifth Street between Pine Street and Linden Street, Seventh Street between Pine Street and Linden Street, Honeysuckle Lane, Second Street between Ash Street and Maple Street, and Hickory Street between Second Street and Third Street. The alley behind St. Michael's between Fourth Street and Fifth Street is also part of this year's project. BUDGET IMPACT The 2000 Seal Coat Project is included in the 2000 Capital Improvement Plan. Several streets in the project area have already been assessed seal coating costs through their respective development contracts. The property owners benefiting from the improvements to the remaining streets would be assessed for the project costs pursuant to Minnesota Statute 429 and the City's Special Assessment Policy. The remainder of the costs would be funded through the Road and Bridge Fund. The total estimated project cost for the 2000 Seal Coat project is $131,600. The estimated assessment based on the estimated project costs and the City's special assessment policy is $60.42 per residential equivalent unit. The City's special assessment policy indicates a 50/50 cost sharing split between the City and the benefiting properties for seal coat improvements.

Because the 35-acre piece was not a part ofthe original submittal of the Murphy Farm PUD, a separate public hearing for this site is required. The 35-acre piece is located east of CSAH 31, south of the approved Murphy Farm PUD and north of Middle Creek and the Farmington Industrial Park. The developers propose a continuation of the multi-family housing product from the north along CSAH 31. The developer proposes the R-3 PUD zoning to coincide with the Murphy Farm PUD approved by the City Council on February 7, 2000. DISCUSSION The Developers propose approximately 204 additional multi-family villa units coupled with the 92 villa units already approved in the original Murphy Farm PUD totaling to 252 two-story villa townhome units. This total number may fluctuate depending upon the finalization of a floodplain delineation study currently underway along the southern boundary ofthe site. The 204 additional villa units are proposed to be constructed on approximately 23 acres. With the addition of the 92 villas on 12 acres, the proposed density is 7.2 du/ac falling into the medium-density residential land use category. An open space/park area is proposed for the remainder of the 35 acres. The 35-acre site is not within the Metropolitan Urban Service Area (MUSA); therefore platting of the property will not commence until MUSA is obtained. The 35-acre piece proposes a collector access to the west to connect with CSAH 31 and an access to the east connecting with the north/south collector street in the Murphy Farm PUD. A sidewalk or trail is required along the east/west collector. The development proposes both public and private streets, whereby the private streets will be located in the multi-family areas and will be maintained by a homeowners association. Water access is located at the newly constructed City water tower and access is required from Vermillion Grove north of the Murphy Farm PUD. Sewer is available from the newly installed Middle Creek sanitary sewer line along the southern portion of the property. A 100- foot wide gas line easement runs north and south through the eastern portion of the 35-acre site. No structures may be located within the easement. Site topography slopes from higher ground on the northern portion of the site to a floodplain at the southern edge of the 35-acres. The drainage pattern generally funnels towards Middle Creek. Manage 2 wetlands are classified over half of the 35-acre site on the southerly portion of the property. Manage 2 wetlands have usually been altered by human activities. This area shows a cultivated field on the existing conditions plan submitted by the Developer. The FEMA floodplain for Middle Creek is also identified on the existing conditions map submitted by the developer. The floodplain encompasses a large portion of the southern boundary of the 35-acre site. A floodplain delineation study is currently underway. Park & Recreation Issues The Developer proposes approximately 17 acres of open space/park area within the 35-acre site. Included with the 14 additional acres recently approved, the Developer proposes approximately 31 acres of open space/park area along the southern edge ofthe Murphy Farm PUD. The open space/park area has been identified within the FEMA floodplain. At this time, staff recommends that park siting issues be delayed until the environmental assessment worksheet and floodplain delineation study is completed to determine if the proposed park land along the southern boundary of the site is outside of the actuallOO-year floodplain. Housing Characteristics The Developer proposes to construct the villa unit as a continuation of the units within the recently approved Murphy Farm PUD. The villas are proposed at $110-125,000 and are two- story, 8 to 10-unit buildings. MUSA Redesignation Issue The City received a request from DR Horton! Arcon Development to expand the Metropolitan Urban Service Area (MUSA) to include approximately 6.4 acres of the 35-acre Genstar Property . The reason for the Developer's request is to provide an access for the 48 villa townhomes within the existing MUSA area (see Exhibit G). MUSA is not required for the roadway installation, but it is required for townhomes to be connected to sanitary sewer. The townhomes within the current MUSA may be accessed without expanding the MUSA into the highlighted area. 2 The advantage of expanding MUSA into this area is to allow the Developer to construct additional units to offset the costs of the roadway. The Developer proposes an additional 58 villa townhomes within the 6.5 acres of MUSA expansion. Riverbend - Genstar Land Company Genstar Land Company owns approximately 160 acres in the northeast portion of the City. Genstar is interested in a swap with their existing MUSA acres in Riverbend (see Exhibit H) to their proposed acres in the Murphy Farm PUD (see Exhibit I). The north branch of the Vermillion River and its floodplain takes up a large portion of the Riverbend property while approximately 125 acres remains developable. As shown on the attached map, the northeastern portion of Riverbend consists of approximately 5.72 acres, however the Developer proposes that after a floodplain determination has been made approximately 45 acres of developable land may be available. No development is proposed in this location until after 2005. City Staff Approval City staff recommends approval of the MUSA request for the following reasons: I. The Riverbend property within the current MUSA will most likely not be utilized until 2005 or later whereas the 6.5 acres of the MUSA expansion area on the Murphy Farm property will be developed within the next 1-3 years. 2. At this time, the same property owner is proposing the MUSA swap. 3. The City has designated this east/west roadway in the Murphy Farm PUD as a mlllor collector and therefore is important to the City's overall transportation system. Planning Commission - March 14, 2000 The Planning Commission reviewed the Murphy Farm PUD Amendment and MUSA Redesignation at their March 14, 2000 meeting. The Planning Commission approved the amendment for the 35-acre piece contingent on the land acquisition from the Genstar Land Company, the delineation of the floodplain and the acceptance of the location of a neighborhood park by the Parks & Recreation Commission. The Planning Commission reviewed the MUSA expansion information with the understanding that the Commission only forward a recommendation of favorable or unfavorable response to the City Council concerning the expansion of MUSA. At the meeting, the Planning Commission forwarded a favorable response to the swapping of MUSA from the Riverbend property to the Murphy Farm property because the same company currently owns both properties creating no conflicts with redesignating the MUSA elsewhere within their owned properties. ACTION REQUESTED Consider adoption of the attached ordinance approving the Murphy Farm PUD Amendment contingent on the delineation of the floodplain and the acceptance of the location of a neighborhood park by the Parks & Recreation Commission. 3 Consider authorization of the redesignation of MUSA from the Riverbend property to the Murphy Farm property and direct City staff to begin the MUSA resignation process with the Metropolitan Council. ifZS~:Q Lee Smick, AICP Planning Coordinator cc: DR Horton, Don Patton Arcon Development, Larry Frank 4 CITY OF FARMINGTON DAKOTA COUNTY, MINNESOTA ORDINANCE NO.

City of Farmington 325 Oak Street, Farmington, MN 55024 (651) 463-7111 Fax (651) 463-2591 www.ci.farmington.mn.us /06 TO: Mayor, Council Members, City Adminstrato~ FROM: Michael Schultz Associate Planner SUBJECT: Consider Approval of Charleswood 3rd Addition Preliminary Plat and Consider Approval of Wetland Mitigation Permit Application - Genstar Land Company DATE: March 20, 2000 INTRODUCTION Genstar Land Company is seeking City Council approval of the Charleswood 3rd Addition Preliminary Plat. The plat is a continuation of the Charleswood PUD and single-family development occurring to the south of the existing 1st and 2nd Additions. The 3rd Addition would be the last single-family addition within the development. The Planning Commission forwarded a recommendation of approval with five conditions at their March 14, 2000 meeting. The developer also has submitted a Combined Project Application (CPA) Form for wetland mitigation purposes within the Charleswood 3rd Addition. The CPA is required when projects are proposing to impact water/wetland resources regulated by local, state and federal agencies implementing the MN Wetland Conservation Act (WCA) of 1991. DISCUSSION The 3rd Addition Preliminary Plat consists of 163 single-family lots on 56.67 acres of land divided into two phases. The first phase will contain approximately 65 lots with the second phase containing approximately 93 (these numbers may vary slightly during final platting dependent on adjustment of the phase line by the developer). The addition will be bounded by single-family to the north, agriculture to the west, wetlands/parkspace and future multi-family to the east and wetlands to the south. Staff has identified several issues during the review of the 3rd Addition Preliminary Plat. Those issues are identified below along with discussion and current status with the developer. Street Design/203rd Street Alignment Street design within the project follows the general layout of the approved Planned Unit Development. Staff has identified possible environmental issues with the proposed 203rd Street alignment. Those issues include wetlands located to the west of the project that are within the future alignment of the connection of 200th Street West. The other environmental concern is a grove of soft and hardwood trees located between the gas easement and Pilot Knob Road (south of the park/wetland area). The developer has indicated that he is willing to continue discussions with staff of the road alignment to possibly avoid or minimize the impacts by the Final Plat of the 2nd Phase. Staff has also requested that the naming of 203rd Street be changed to 200th Street West to stay consistent with the County's street naming system. Trails, Sidewalks and Park Dedication/Improvements Staff and the developer met on March 10, 2000 to discuss issues relating to the dedication and improvement of park property within the development. Because the developer is uncertain of the exact design and layout of the multi-family housing along the east portion of the project, platting of the park area may be premature. Staff and the developer agreed that a temporary easement will be placed over the property to allow for the construction of the park within the 1 st phase of the 3rd Addition. Trails will be constructed within the park area and the wetland island and also continue north to 195th Street. A concrete sidewalk is required along Everhill Ave down to 203rd Street. Discussion will continue between staff and the developer on the type, either concrete or bituminous, of pedestrian walkway along the north side of 203rd Street. Staff and the developer will also continue discussions on park and trail construction, improvements, cost sharing and park equipment (see attached letter from Jim Bell dated March 10, 2000). Engineering Issues Director of Public Works/City Engineer Lee Mann has outlined a number of issues to be resolved before submittal of the final plat (see attached memo dated March 9, 2000); those issues include: I. The easterly connection of 203rd Street at CSAH 31 is a condition of approval for Phase 2; 2. Easements need to be provided for the existing trunk sanitary sewer and storm sewer on the east side of the project; 3. Wetland mitigation areas and parkland need to be platted as outlots (the parkland portion has been resolved with the Parks & Recreation Director); 4. Approval from the gas company for the grading of Outlot A; 5. Approval of the Wetland Mitigation Plan (to be discussed); 6. The final grading plan will need to include the required flood plain mitigation; 7. All City engineering requirements will need to be met before approval will be granted for the final construction plans. The developer has indicated that all of the above issues can be resolved before final plat approval. Wetland Issues The City adopted a new wetland ordinance in June of 1999 that identifies protected waters and wetlands within the City in accordance with the guidelines of the MN Wetland Conservation Act (WCA) of 1991. The basis of the WCA is to require the developer and the Local Governing Unit (LGU) to follow a process to "avoid, minimize or impact" wetlands during development. If avoidance is not possible the developer is required to complete the CPA to be reviewed and accepted by the LGU for mitigation purposes. The developer, Astra Genstar Land Company, has made application for the proposed impacts to wetlands that will occur during the development of the 3rd Addition (see attached CPA form). The developer is proposing .67 acres of wetland fill along with .45 acres of wetland excavation for a total of 1.12 acres of wetland disturbance. In exchange, the developer is proposing 1.35 acres of new wetland credit and .9 acres of public value credit for a total of 2.25 acres of new wetland area. The mitigated area will be completed within the Genstar property, just south of the proposed 3rd Addition, keeping valuable wetlands within the city. Staff, with the assistance of Bonestroo Engineering, has determined the application to be complete and acceptable. The process requires that the City, acting as the LGU, approve the application and forward it to the U.S. Army Corp of Engineers for final approval and recording at Dakota County. ACTION REOUESTED Staff is seeking two separate Council motions. The first motion would be for City (LGU) approval of the Combined Project Application (CPA) form for wetland mitigation within the proposed Charleswood 3rd Addition. The second motion to consider the attached resolution approving the Charleswood 3rd Addition Preliminary Plat contingent upon the following: 1. The Combined Project Application (wetland mitigation application) be approved by the City Council and forwarded to the U.S. Army Corp of Engineers to be finalized and recorded; 2. All engineering issues referenced by the City Engineer be addressed before final plat approval of the 1 st Phase; 3. The developer continue discussions with Parks & Recreation on the timing of park construction, dedication and park and trail accesses throughout the Charleswood development; 4. That issues relating to 203rd Street continue to be discussed with staff concerning temporary road construction, timing, design, alignment and renaming to 200th Street before final plat approval of the 2nd phase of the 3rd Addition; and 5. The developer includes on the final plat the City's Standard Template for wetland buffer identification and spacing requirements as required in the City's Wetland Ordinance. cc: Steve Juetten, Genstar Land Company RESOLUTION NO.

City of Farmington 325 Oak Street, Farmington, MN 55024 (651) 463-7111 Fax (651) 463-2591 www.ci.farmineton.mn.us TO: City Planning CO]pmmi . on Michael Schultz Associate Planner Charleswood 3rd Addition Preliminary Plat Approval FROM: SUBJECT: DATE: March 14,2000 INTRODUCTION Genstar Land Company has submitted the Preliminary Plat for Charleswood 3rd Addition. The 3rd Addition consists of 163 single-family lots platted on 56.67 acres separated into two phases. The plat is a continuation of the single-family portion of the Charleswood Planned Unit Development.

Bonstroo Rosene Anderlik & Associates/Wetland Consultants a) Memo from John Smyth dated March 7, 2000 (Wetland Review and Recommendations) Attachments: 1. Application for Preliminary Plat 2. Boundary Survey & Legal Description 3. Location Map 4. Arial Photograph 5. Schematic PUD Plan 6. 10-9-1: Wetland Ordinance (portions) Location of Property: South of 195th Street and south of the existing 2nd Addition of Charleswood. Area Bounded By: Single-family residential to the north, agriculture to the west, open space to the south, future multi- family to the east Existing Zoning: R-3 PUD Streets and Accesses: Streets follow general design layout of the approved Planned Unit Development. Future access to Pilot Knob Road will come with the connection of 203rd Street, the timing and alignment of the road is dependent on the future development of multi- family residential west of the 3rd Addition and development on the east-side of Pilot Knob Road. The developer will construct a temporary roadway for emergency and heavy equipment access. The future alignment of 203rd Street will impact wetlands to both the east and west and possibly impact a stand of trees located south of the wetland/park space area. Sidewalks: Sidewalks will extend along Everhill Ave and connect with the trail along 203rd Street. Trails: The Parks and Recreation Commission requests that staff continue to work with the developer for additional trail accesses to connect with the future 2 park space (see attached memo from Jim Bell and PARAC minutes). Parkland Dedication: The developer proposes a park area east of the single-family development and north of the wetland area. The final parkland dedication will be determined during platting of the multi-family development to be located between the park and Pilot Knob Road (see attached comments from Park & Recreation Director Jim Bell). The location of the park space is in accordance to the Planned Unit Development. Site topography is rolling, especially on the eastern and southern portions of the plat. The drainage patterns are generally towards the south. Topography: Vegetation: Most of the site has been farmed, areas of wetland vegetation along with stands of mixed hardwoods. Wetlands: Wetlands are located to the east and south of the plat. The wetland located directly east of the 3rd Addition is designated Manage 2. The wetland found directly south is designated Manage 1 and is part of the City Storm Water plans to become a regional facility. The developer has met all buffer and mitigation requirements according to the City Wetland Ordinance (see memo from John Smyth dated 3-7-00). Flood Plain: Flood plain exists on the southern portion of the development. The developer's engineering consultants have completed a flood plain delineation study identifying the flood plain boundary outside of the platted lots. The developer has submitted an application for a letter of map amendment amending the flood plain boundary identified on the FEMA Flood Insurance Rate Maps. Additional Comments Genstar Land Company is seeking preliminary plat approval of 163 single-family lots on approximately 57 acres of land; the plat is a continuation of the single-family development located to the north and is apart of the Charleswood Planned Unit Development. 3 The developer is proposing to phase the development of the 3rd Addition into two phases for final plat approval to allow flexibility in the number of lots included in the final plat approval. To clarify, preliminary plat approval would include the entire 163 single- family lots; the developer will determine the final number of lots to be included in final plat approval during the 1 st and 2nd phases of development. Lot Layout/Design & Setbacks Lots are arranged in similar fashion to the previous additions. Minimum required lot size is 10,000 square feet, the minimum proposed lot size is 10,003 square feet, the largest proposed lot is 20,827 square feet, and an average proposed lot size of 11,972 square feet. Minimum lot widths at the setback are 75 feet (some lot widths are narrower at the frontage but meet the 75-foot setback at the setback). Minimum front yard setbacks are proposed at 25-feet, except for the lots included in the following; lots 21-25, block 4, phase 1; lots 1-20, block 3, phase 2 and lots 1-14, block 4, phase 2 will have 20-foot setbacks. The 20-foot front yard setbacks are proposed along the south side of 203rd Street due to the required 30-foot buffer setback to the wetlands. The lots on the north side of 203rd Street will have 20-foot setbacks due to both the alignment of the road (to permit lots on the south side) and to mimic the setback on the south side. The developer is again proposing "flag" lots within the Evensong Court cul-de-sac. Flag lots were originally approved within the 2nd Addition of the development. Flag lots are designed with narrower frontages with the house setback further on the lot. The developer has claimed that flag lots typically will result in higher end housing being constructed on these lots. Road Layout/Design The road layout within the 3rd Addition follows that of the approved Planned Unit Development. There are two proposed cul-de-sacs, one at the end of Evensong Avenue and the other at Evensong Court. All roads, except for 203rd Street, will have 60-foot right-of-ways and 34-foot wide streets (measured from back of curb to back of curb). 203rd Street, serving as a minor collector, will have a 70-foot right-of-way and a 36-foot wide roadway (using the same measurements). Engineering staff has identified the intersection of Everhill A venue and Excelsior Lane to have inadequate sight distance for vehicles traveling on Excelsior Lane toward Everhill Ave. Engineering is recommending that staff work with the developer at resolving the issue before approval of the final plat. 203rd Street Connection The future construction of 203rd Street was discussed with the developer to determine the timing of the connection to Pilot Knob Road (203rd Street will eventually connect to the D.R. Horton/Arcon Murphy Farm development). Staff explained their concern about the 4 limited number of accesses (two are located along 19Sth Street) for the potential 300 single-family homes. The developer stated that because the layout and design of the future multi-family homes is not known at this time, the exact alignment of 203rd Street is not yet determined. The developer stated that they were willing to construct a temporary road, to rural design standards, for access off of Pilot Knob Road. Staff agreed that the immediate construction of 203rd Street to Pilot Knob Road could impede the design of the future multi-family development. Staff also agreed that a temporary gravel road, built to rural design standards, would be sufficient for the access of construction and emergency response vehicles. The developer did indicate that the permanent alignment of203rd Street could be determined within one (1) year. Staff would recommend that the temporary alignment of 203rd Street be determined before final platting of the 2nd phase of the 3rd Addition to ensure timely connection to Pilot Knob Road. Staff stresses that the design and layout of both 203rd Street and the multi-family housing be as expedient as possible in order for permanent road access for residents located in the south half of the single-family development. The alignment of203rd Street will also have some environmental impacts to both the east and west of the current 3 rd Addition. The impacts to the east could involve a stand of hardwood trees located just south of the wetland/park space area. The impact will be known when final determination has been made for location of the 203rd Street intersection at Pilot Knob Road and the overall extent of future multi-family development. The future extension of 203 rd Street to the west to the existing 200th Street will impact some Manage 1 and Manage 2 wetlands. Staff is also recommending continuing discussion for the naming of 203rd Street between staff and the developer. Staff is considering renaming the street to 200th Street to stay consistent with the Dakota County addressing system. (For the purpose of clarification, the road will continue to be referenced as 203rd Street until the change is made on the final plat). Parks, Trails & Sidewalks Staff met with the developer on March 10, 2000 to resolve issues relating to parks, trails and sidewalks within the Charleswood development. As a result most of the issues have been resolved or will continue negotiations with the developer (see attached memo for Parks & Recreation Director Jim Bell dated March 10, 2000). The proposed parkland shown on the plat for park dedication is consistent with the Planned Unit Development. Staff agreed with the developer that because of uncertainty in the design and layout of the multi-family area between the single-family additions and Pilot Knob Road it would not be sensible at this time to determine the eastern edge of the 5 park. Staff and the developer agreed to continue discussions about possible easements for grading and park construction. The P ARAC recommended that the park be constructed during this phase of development. The developer has agreed that the park will be graded and constructed during the 3rd Addition/15t Phase. Staff and the developer are continuing negotiations on cost share, coordination of development, design and layout of the park. Staff discussed with the developer the need for an additional trail access to the park for the residents located within this addition. Currently the only trail access into the park is located at the end of Everest Path. After long discussions about trail access in the south half of the development, staff agreed that due to the grade of the slope, a trail access might become a liability to the City because of the required serpentine design ofthe path. The developer has agreed to work with staff on future road access to the park for emergency response purposes once the multi-family area develops. Currently the only emergency access to the park space is by the above-mentioned trail off of Everest Path. A concrete sidewalk is proposed to continue from the 2nd Addition along Everhill Ave down to 203rd Street, this sidewalk will connect to the proposed sidewalk along 203rd Street. Parks & Recreation Director Bell discussed with the developer the City's desire for an eight- (8) foot bituminous trail. Staff and the developer will continue discussion of the pathway being an eight- (8) foot sidewalk or bituminous trail. Eventually the pathway will run along 203rd Street, as required along all minor collectors, and connect eastward to the future bike trail on Pilot Knob Road. Wetlands Wetlands are found on both the east and south side of the development. The wetland on the east has been categorized as a Manage 2 and the southern wetland as Manage 1 according to a Wetlands and Waterbody Classification. These wetland areas are required to maintain a wetland buffer area of natural vegetation, see attached ordinance for buffer distances and setbacks. The previous Preliminary Plat indicated lot encroachment into wetland boundaries; the developer has made all proper revisions pertaining to wetland buffering and encroachment. Dakota County Soil & Water Conservation District noted in their initial review of the original plat the City requirement to supply wetland replacement plans for areas that will be disturbed. Since then staff, the developer, Bonestroo Engineering, Westwood Engineering and the SWCD have worked closely at resolving all previously described wetland issues. The developer has completed and submitted a wetland replacement application (Water Resource Combined Project Application Form) that has been reviewed by all required outside review agencies; only Dakota County SWCD followed up with a response. Both the SWCD response letter and a summarization memo from John Smyth are attached. 6 The application will be forwarded to the City Council at the March 20, 2000 meeting for their recommendation, if approved it will then be forwarded onto the U.S. Army Corp of Engineers for final acceptance. ACTION REQUESTED Recommend approval of the Charleswood 3rd Addition Preliminary Plat contingent upon the following: 1) The Combined Project Application (CPA) Form (Wetland Mitigation Application) be approved by the City Council and forwarded to the U.S. Army Corp of Engineers to be finalized and recorded; 2) All Engineering issues contained within Director of Public Works/City Engineer Lee Mann's memo be addressed before final plat approval of the 15t Phase; 3) The developer continue discussions with Parks & Recreation on the timing of park construction, dedication and park and trail accesses throughout the Charleswood development; 4) That issues relating to 203rd Street continue to be discussed with staff concerning temporary road construction, timing, design, alignment and renaming to 200th Street before final plat approval of the 2nd Phase; 5) The developer includes on the final plat the City's Standard Template for wetland buffer identification and spacing requirements as required in the City's Wetland Ordinance.

SUBJECT: DATE: March 10,2000 INTRODUCTION The PARAC has again reviewed the proposed Charleswood 3rd addition. DISCUSSION At the February 2, 2000 PARAC meeting, staff reintroduced the Charleswood 3rd Addition to the commission for review and was directed to forward the following recommendation to the Planning Commission: · Staff should continue to negotiate a possible trail access point on the south end of the plat if at all possible. · The portion of property dedicated to the City for park purposes needs to be developed with this addition. With the number of single family residences being proposed, the park needs to be developed now. The timing of multi-family housing site has not been detennined and could be a few years from construction. The exact boundary limits of the park can be detennined during the platting of the multiple housing sites to the east. Staff should work with the developer on the site layout and accesses. · A trail should be constructed along 203 rd St. as per the City Trail plan. Staff met with a representative from the developer and reached an agreement on the above items. The developer agrees with the placement of the 203M Street trail and the timing of the park development. The access will not be possible due to wetland restraints and the severity of the slopes in the area. Respectfully submitted, "Je- 6.J2S<.

This phase of the Charleswood POD entails 162 single-family lots on approximately 56.7 acres; the entire PUD encompasses approximately 396.8 acres. This report summarizes the proposed erosion controls and submits additional erosion and sediment control recommendations. Further, wetland/floodplain impacts and low impact development concepts are discussed. . I We observed the following erosion and sediment controls on the plans: 1. Silt fence below most graded slopes; heavy-duty silt fence below 3: 1 slopes. 2. One rock construction entrance. 3. Check dams in drainage swales - they appear to be hay/straw bales, but design details are not provided. 4. Bale inlet sediment filters at all storm sewer inlets. 5. Two stormwater ponds. 6. Seeding and wood fiber blanket on 3: 1 and steeper slopes. 7. Notes regarding temporary stabilization timing and silt fence installation!maintenance. We have the following comments and recommendations regarding erosion and sedimentation control: 1. Construct storm water ponds flfst to act as temporary sediment basins. Temporary sediment basins must be constructed properly to be effective. A stabilized emergency spillway must be installed. Further, install a temporary riser at the sediment pond outlet to optimize sediment trapping efficiency. Refer to the MPCA "bluebook" for design details. 2. Install heavy duty silt fence adjacent to all wetland areas. 3. Maintain an undisturbed, vegetated buffer adjacent to all wetland areas in accordance with the City's wetland management ordinance. A 50-foot buffer should be provided between land disturbance activities and the large shrub swamp located at the southern edge of the proposed development. 4. Use rock checks, sediment log ditch blocks, or other city-approved device within all swales and other areas where intensified flows are expected at approximately 50' intervals. Do not use bale check dams. Silt fence may work if it is installed very well, at appropriate intervals, and in conjunction AN EQUAL OPPORTUNITY EMPLOYER r Charleswood Third and Fourth Additions 97FRM055 2 with an overflow curtain. Some of the swales may require lining with high velocity erosion blanket to effectively stabilize. 5. Line all drainage swales with high velocity erosion control blanket prior to installing check dams. Preseed these areas. 6. Modify the General Note regarding site-dewatering to include the following: . Water pumped from a depressional area must be discharged to a sediment pond or filtered prior to discharge to a wetland, waterbody, or storm sewer. Silt fence is not designed to withstand the force exerted by channelized flow. . Trenches cut to convey water from a ponded area must lead to a sediment pond or other sediment control prior to discharge to a wetland, waterbody, or storm sewer. . All sediment basins, including temporary ponds, must have a controlled and stabilized overflow. . Energy dissipation devices must be installed where the trenches and pump hoses discharge to areas with exposed soils. This may not be necessary if pump hoses are discharged to a stable, vegetated area. 7. Install silt fence at the toe oflong slopes, including those within the interior of the site unless sedimentation from these areas will be controlled by another BMP. 8. Silt fence should not cross contours; all silt fence should be installed on-contour to filter sheet flow. 9. Once the proposed storm sewers are in place, inlet filters with emergency overflows should be installed to minimize the amount of sediment entering the stormsewer. This is critical during the period following utility installation prior to street paving, and should be continued until the site is stabilized. Bale inlet filters are not the preferred BMP for in-street applications, but (if installed and maintained properly) work well for beehive inlets. 10. Install silt fence, a double row of sod, or alternative device behind curbs and the downslope gradient between lots to minimize runoff from lots during building construction. 11. Show type of energy dissipation devices at all storm sewer outlets, including outlets from temporary sediment basins. 12. Include details for all erosion controls on the plan, especially the ditch blocks and erosion control blanket. 13. Include temporary and permanent seeding, mulching, and fertilization specifications on the plan. 14. Include notes regarding specific NPDES permit requirements on the plan, including inspection, . stabilization, and maintenance timing. The current note regarding stabilization timing should be amended to include the following NPDES General Stormwater Permit requirement: the applicant must stabilize all exposed soil areas within 100 feet of a water of the state or any stormwater conveyance system which is connected to a water of the state must be stabilized within 7 days (steeper than 3:1 slopes), 14 days (10:1 to 3: 1 slopes), or 21 days (flatter than 10: 1). This includes areas within 100 feet from all storm sewer inlets. , , The following comments are provided regarding wetland and floodplain issues: 1. Approximately 0.4 acres of wetland fill is proposed to facilitate stormwater pond construction. A wetland replacement plan has not yet been submitted for this impact, but a preliminary review of the site constraints suggests the fill is avoidable. Additional comments will be submitted by the SWCD once a wetland replacement plan application is received. As noted in the City's wetland ordinance, preliminary plat approvals should not be granted until the WCA wetland replacement plan has been approved. 2. The extent of proposed fill within floodplain is unclear. The floodplain and flood fringe boundary should be shown on the plan. The SWCD discourages construction of homes on fill within the 100- year floodplain boundary. Further, high surficial groundwater levels in the area will make tlood storage mitigation difficult. 3. The City, landowner, County, SWCD, and Vermillion River WMO should meet prior to preliminary plat approvals to discuss regional ponding issues. The area south ofCharlsewood 3rd/4th has been Charleswood Third and Fourth Additions 97FRM055 3 ( identified in the City's Storrnwater Management Plan and Draft VRWMO Second Generation Watershed Management Plan as a critical regional storage area for Middle Creek, which drains a rapidly developing subwatershed. Further, discussions regarding the potential for developing a regional park in the area should be finalized before additional City approvals are obtained by the developer. Lastly, the SWCD recommends the use of conservation site design (a.k.a. low impact development or LID) practices such as impervious area reduction, road width minimization, infiltration BMPs, on-site storage, and vegetated storrnwater conveyance channels to the extent practicable. Minimizing the post- development curve number (to reduce runoff volume) and maximizing time of concentration (to reduce peak discharge rates) are critical design elements in the LID approach. Further, the SWCD may be able to provide financial incentives to support incorporation of LID concepts into the development plans. Thank you for the opportunity to review this plan. Good implementation, consistent monitoring, and maintenance of all erosion control measures are important to minimize erosion on this construction site. Please be aware that because the project disturbs more than 5 acres, the applicant must apply for a MPCA General Storm water Permit at least two days prior to initiating construction.

As you are aware, our office has been working with the City, applicant, and applicant's consultant over the past two years with regards to the wetland delineation and grading plan for the Charleswood Development. The entire Charleswood Development includes 396 acres and the first Addition's of this Development are under construction. It is the District's belief that the southem half of the Charleswood plat includes regionally important wetlands and groundwater recharge areas for Middle Creek and the Vermillion River Watershed. Development in this region of the Charleswood Plat may have significant impacts to water quality. We will continue to work with the City and landowner to evaluate options to protect the floodplain and wetland areas located in the south portion of the Charleswood Plat. The District discourages the construction of homes or buildings on fill within the l00-year floodplain boundary. The submitted WCA application is for the Charleswood 3rd Addition and includes: . 10 to 15 townhomes and approximately 1 acre of commercial development on 14.4 acres. · 375 to 425 townhomes, apartment, or c;:ondominium units on 31.6 acres. . 70 to 80 townhome units on 14.7 acres. . 284 single family homes on 110.8 acres. . A municipal street that will be stubbed for future access to east. The WCA application indicates that the Charleswood 3n1 Addition will require 0.67 acres of wetland fill and 0.45 acres of wetland excavation. Wetland replacement will occur by constructing a 1.35 acres wetland and 0.90 acre of water quality treatment ponds. We have the following comments and recommendations for your consideration: . Under guidance provided by the Minnesota Board of Water and Soil Resources (BWSR) and WCA Rule 8420.2330 (Notification Procedures), the comment period for WCA applications must be a minimum of 15 days for projects impacting more than 10,000 square feet. The comment period for this WCA application was 10 days including time lost through the mailing process. Please extend the courtesy of allowing adequate review time for this and future WCA applications. AN EQUAL OPPORTUNITY EMPLOYER Charleswood Third Addition - WCA Application Review 97FRM055 2 · It was noted that a Technical Evaluation Panel (TEP) was held on December 151h, 1999 to review the wetland boundary and forthcoming permit application. Staff from our office participated in that TEP meeting and recommended more detailed information on the wetland boundaries. TEP determinations and recommendations must be endorsed by at least two of the three members to be valid. Has there been a Findings of Fact Form (See WCA Administrative Manual) completed and reviewed by TEP attendees? Documenting TEP meetings by completing the Findings of Fact Form may be a necessary piece of documentation should someone appeal the City's WCA decision. · The submitted application indicates that the proposed ditch crossing is necessary to allow construction of a municipal street that will provide site access and an emergency route for public safety service vehicles. Have future wetland consequences been examined if this municipal road is bxtended to the east? If future wetland impacts are anticipated under ultimate construction of this municipal road the wetland impact is avoidable and all impacts should be addressed in a subsequent WCA application. If no additional wetland impacts are anticipated as a result of the municipal road extension, the ditch crossing and associated wetland impacts is appropriate. Please note that the Preliminary Grading Plan (Exhibit 4) shows no wetland impacts associated with the roadway and the Mitigation Plan (Exhibit 5) indicates wetland impacts for a future roadway. The correct grading plan should be obtained and reviewed. . The City should determine who specifically will be responsible for monitoring the success of the wetland replacement site. . Please ensure that your record of decision regarding this WCA application, and any subsequent special conditions, are forwarded to our office. Consistent monitoring and maintenance of all erosion control measures are important to minimize erosion and prevent additional impacts to wetlands.

The wetland fill includes 0.49 acre offill in farmed wetland, necessary to construct a stormwater pond berm, and 0.18 acre offill necessary to construct a street and residential lot where two drainageways currently exist. The proposed plans provide mitigation in the form of 1.35 acres of New Wetland Credit wetland creation, and 0.90 acres of stormwater ponding Public Value Credit. Sequencing: The developer was able to minimize the fill from lots and roads to a 30 foot wide reed canary grass drainage swale located on the southwest edge of the development and a ditch crossing located near the narrowest portion of the ditch to minimize impacts. These impacts total 0.18 acres of proposed wetland fill. The remainder of the fill impacts are required for berms around the proposed pond. The berm is necessary to meet the quantity and quality requirements to protect the remainder of the wetland. Ponding locations and requirements were discussed at the meeting on 1/13/00 with Westwood, Genstar, Dakota SWCD, City, and BRA. The following were identified issues that needed to be addressed: I. Removing the pond located in the southwest and divert the drainage to the pond located in the southeast. 2. Minimizing the impact of the pond located in the southeast to the portion of the wetland that has a history of being farmed (7 of 10 years). 3. Further meet the intent of the ordiance by requiring that the pond be designed to mimic a wetland with meandering edges, gradual side slopes and a native planting plan. All items listed above have been adequately addressed since the 1/13/00 meeting. Pond impacts have been reduced to one pond that is located in the farmed portion of the wetland. Further minimization of the pond impacts have been accomplished by gradual slopes and a native planting plan. Site constraints limited the meandering edges but there were some attempts at meandering.

We did however extend the comment period several days from that requested by the developer. In the future we will make sure we allow time for mail and internal circulation. Wetland Boundaries Final approval of wetland boundaries will not occur until the Technical Evaluation Panel (TEP) can review the boundaries during the growing season as per the discussion at the December 15th, 1999 TEP meeting. Future impacts from municipal road extension to the east It appears that wetland impacts can be avoided to the east with the future road extension. We have reviewed Exhibit 5 and are basing the proposed fill and mitigation requirement with the road installed. It is recommended that impacts to the wooded area adjacent to the wetland basin to the north be minimized by the remainder of the future road extension. Monitoring of Wetland Replacement Site The developer shall submitt Wetland Replacement Monitoring Reports to the City on an annual basis as discussed on Page 14 of the Wetland Permits Application.

These wetlands may provide habitat for rare, threatened and/or endangered plant and animal species present; and/or have moderate to exceptional tloral diversity/integrity and moderate to high susceptibility to storm water and snowmelt; and/or are within the designated trout-stream corridor identified on the City's Wetland and Waterbody Classification Map. These wetlands have plant communities that are in a largely unaltered state. The vegetative communities of these wetlands are characterized by moderate floral diversion and are slightly to moderately susceptible to stonn-water and snowmelt impacts. These -wetlands have usually been altered by human activities. These wetlands have low to medium floral diversity and wildlife habitat components. These wetlands are slightly susceptible to im;: acts from storm water. In addition, if a wetland has characteristics of a utilized basin but is located within a park or greenway corridor (as shown on the Wetland and Waterbody Classification Map) it was put in this management classification. ~~' 8 :7 ;k WETLANDS, UTILIZE: These wetlands have been significantly altered and degraded through past disturbances. They may be isolated, with altered hydrology from urban or agricultural land uses. These wetlands have low floral diversity, and for the most part are not connected to other ecosystems. These wetlands are the least susceptible to impacts from storm water. 10-9-4: GENERAL PROVISIONS (A) This ordinance shall apply to any applicant for a subdivision approval, or a grading, excavation, or mining permit to allow wetland-disturbing, activities after June 7 (date of ordinance). No subdivision approval, or grading, permit to allow wetland disturbing activities shall be issued until approval of the wetland replacement plan application or a certificate of exemption has been obtained in strict conformance with the provisions of this chapter and the Minnesota iN etland Conservation Act. This chapter applies to all land, public or private, located within the City of Fannington. -1-- (B) When any provision of any ordinance conflicts with this chapter, that which provides more protection to the wetland or wetland buffer shall apply unless specifically provided otherwise in this chapter; provided. such exceptions shall not conflict with state regulations, such as the State Shoreland Program. ~, (C) This ordinance shall apply to all land containing wetlands and land within the setback and buffer areas required by this ordinance. Wetlands shall be subject to the requirements established herein. as well as restrictions and requirements established by other applicable Federal. State, and City ordinances and regulations. These wetland protection regulations shall not be construed to allow anything, otherwise prohibited in the zoning district where the wetland area is located. (D) A wetland is land that meets the definition of "wetlands'" set forth in this Ordinance. Wetlands have been identified and the Wetland Management Classification as established by the officially adopted City maps shall be prima facie evidence of the location and classification of a wetlands. The official maps shall be developed and maintained by the Community Development Department. The presence or absence of a wetland on the official maps does not represent a definitive detennination as to whether a jurisdictional wetland is or is not present. Wetlands that are identified during site specific delineation activities but do not appear on the official wetland maps are still subject to the provisions of the Ordinance. It will be the responsibility of an applicant to delineate the exact wetland boundary. All delineations must be reviewed by the Dakota County Soil and Water Conservation District. The Dakota County Soil and Water Conservation District will make recommendations to the City. The City Council has delegated delineation review authority to its staff. The City will classify wetlands based on the criteria discussed under Section 10-9-3. The applicant shall get final delineation approval from the City. 9 City of Farmington 325 Oak Street, Farmington, MN 55024 (651) 463-7111 Fax (651) 463-2591 www.ci.farmington.mn.us lod TO: Mayor and Councilmembers City Administrator~ FROM: David L. Olson Community Development Director SUBJECT: Application for Conveyance of Tax Forfeited Land DATE: March 20, 2000 INTRODUCTION Autumn Glen, a proposed residential subdivision adjacent to Akin Park Estates, proposes to incorporate a previously tax forfeited parcel into their subdivision. In order for this to occur, the City Council needs to transfer the parcel back to the State of Minnesota and then the HRA would apply to the State to have the parcel conveyed to the HRA which in turn would be conveyed to the developer of the proposed subdivision. DISCUSSION The parcel in question was originally platted as an outlot of Akin Park Estates and was privately owned. However when the owner failed to pay the property taxes for a number of years, the parcel was conveyed to the City of Farmington. The only City need for this parcel is for a sewer main that currently crosses the outlot but will be abandoned as part of a new proposed adjacent development. Arcon Development has proposed the adjacent development which is a single family residential subdivision called Autumn Glen. The Developer is requesting the incorporation of the outlot into the platted lots of this subdivision. However the City cannot convey the outlot because of the original conveyance as a tax forfeited parcel from the State to the City. The terms of the original conveyance restricts the parcel's use to certain public purposes only. In order for the parcel to be conveyed to the Developer, the City needs to convey the property back to the State and then the HRA can make application to the State for conveyance of the parcel to the HRA. The HRA would then convey the parcel to Arcon Development. While this process may seem somewhat complex, it is because distinctions are made in Minnesota Statute between cities and HRAs and how they may convey tax forfeited property. The end result of this particular situation is that the property in question is currently tax exempt but will become taxable and added to the City tax base. The HRA at their March 13, 2000 meeting authorized applying to the State of Minnesota to have Outlot D conveyed to the HRA. The HRA also authorized then conveying Outlot D to Arcon Development. Both of these actions are contingent on the City Council conveying Outlot D back to the State of Minnesota. BUDGET IMPACT There will be no budget impact to the HRA as a result of this transaction. The City has reached agreement with Arcon Development on a purchase price for this outlot which is approximately equal to the back taxes. In addition, Arcon will be paying all legal costs associated with this transaction. ACTION REOUESTED Consider adoption of the attached resolution approving the reconveyance of Outlot D, Akin Park Estates to the State of Minnesota and requesting that the State convey legal ownership to Farmington Housing and Redevelopment Authority.

Erar, City Administrator SUBJECT: Consider Resolution - Supporting Increased Transportation Funding DATE: March 20, 2000 INTRODUCTION Mayor Ristow has received information from Invest 2000, a coalition comprised of building and contracting advocates, the Minnesota Transportation Alliance and the Highway Construction Industry Council for increased transportation funding. The Mayor has requested that this item be presented for Council consideration. DISCUSSION From the information provided, the coalition for increased highway and transportation funding is urging local government to adopt a resolution in support of this legislative initiative. The Minnesota Transportation Alliance is a not-for-profit coalition of groups, businesses, labor, and local governments concerned about surface transportation in Minnesota that was founded in 1893 and is funded through membership dues. The remaining advocates are special interest groups supporting greater public funding of state highways. If Council may recall, the City's 2000 legislative position relative to transportation funding is consistent with supporting additional public funding for improvements to a variety of transportation elements, including increased state funding for highways, transportation improvements and a change in the funding formulas for County state aid highways. BUDGET IMPACT None. ACTION REOUESTED Consider adoption of the attached resolution calling for increased public spending on state highways. file RESOLUTION NO. R -00 SUPPORTING STATE LEGISLATIVE ACTION IN 2000 TO INCREASE STATE HIGHWAY AND TRANSPORTATION FUNDING Pursuant to due call and notice thereof, a regular meeting of the City Council of the City of Farmington, Minnesota, was held in the Council Chambers of said City on the 20th day of March 2000 at 7:00 p.m. Members Present: Members Absent: Member introduced and Member seconded the following: WHEREAS, increasing state funding for growing highway and transportation needs is one of the most critical issues facing Minnesota; and, WHEREAS, highways throughout Minnesota are increasingly congested, are unsafe due to deterioration or outdated design, and often hinder economic growth due to poor condition and lack of capacity; and, WHEREAS, studies show that more than $8 billion in additional funding over the next ten years is needed to address state and county highway and bridge needs; and, WHEREAS, Minnesota's continued economic vitality and high quality of life depend on the state immediately increasing investments in highway safety, maintenance, reconstruction and expansIon. NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED the Farmington City Council commends Governor Jesse Ventura and Republican and Democratic legislative leaders for offering a variety of significant highway and transportation funding proposals for consideration during the 2000 legislative session, thus making transportation a legislative priority for the first time in more than a decade; and, BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED the Farmington City Council strongly urges Governor Ventura and the state Legislature to complete the good work they have begun and dedicate themselves to approving significant highway funding legislation in the 2000 legislative session. This resolution adopted by recorded vote of the Farmington City Council in open session on the 20th day of March 2000. Mayor Attested to the day of 2000. City Administrator SEAL ,NVEST200D/ /~ THE COALITION FOR INCREASED / / HIGHWAY & TRANSPORTATION FUNDING - NOW! DON'T MISS THE OPPORTUNITY - BUILD A SAFE AND MOBILE MINNESOTA February 25,2000 Gerald Ristow City of Farmington 325 Oak 8t Farmington, MN 55024-1374 Dear Mayor Ristow: As a mayor you are acutely aware that inadequate funding for growing highway and transportation needs is one of the most critical issues facing Minnesota. Your assistance, and the assistance of your city council colleagues, is urgently needed to ensure that the Legislature and Governor Ventura approve increased highway and transportation funding - NOW! More than a decade of legislative inaction has resulted in highways throughout the state that are increasingly congested, that are unsafe due to deterioration or outdated design, and that hinder economic growth due to poor condition and lack of capacity. According to the Highway Construction Industry Council's 2000 Minnesota Road Transportation Needs Assessment Study, more than $8 billion in additional funding over the next ten ears is needed to address state and county highway and bridge needs. Minnesota's continued economic vitality nd high quality of life depend on increasing investments in highway safety, maintenance, reconstruction and expansion - NOW! With early proposals from Governor Ventura and legislative leaders, the 2000 legislative session began with high hopes that the Legislature will finally approve a long~term increase in highway funding. But building political tensions at the legislature currently pose a threat to this early promise. Legislators and the governor need to know NOW that good intentions are not sufficient, that the good work they started must be finished, and that the 2000 session must not end without approval of a significant highway funding package. You and your c.ity council colleagues hold unique positions of opportunity and responsibility. With your knowledge of transportation needs and status as commliIiityleaders, you can forcefully deliver a message to state legislators and the governor that highway funding is an urgent priority. We ask that you and your council please consider the following actions: *Contact your State Legislators and Governor Ventura - NOW!: By mail, phone, e-mail, fax or in person, contact your state legislators and the governor and express your support for passing a significant, long-term highway funding bill this session. Congratulate them on their leadership and progress so far, but stress that the job must be completed. The message is simple: Don't come home without it! *Resolution: As a council, approve the enclosed funding resolution, or a resolution of similar language, and send it to your legislators and the governor. Also fax or mail the approved resolution to the Invest2000 coalition (612-659-9009 - fax). If a resolution has already been approved in recent months, send it again to your legislators, the governor and Invest2000. Invest2000 will make sure your resolution is broadly distributed.

Cities throughout the state have long been strong and vocal transportation advocates. Over these next few critical weeks, please exercise your leadership to express your belief that a significant increase in state highway funding is needed - NOW! Local elected leaders from across the state, working together to insist on Legislative action, can and will be the key to ultimate success. Minnesota may not see political conditions this favorable to increased highway funding for years to come. We must capitalize NOW - for the future of our communities, our regions and our great state.

Proposed Action/Motion That the Metropolitan Council adopt the attached Review Record and recommendations. Issue(s) 1. The household forecast for Vermillion Township exceeds Regional Growth Strategy 2020 forecast by 120 households - 620 vs. SOO. 2. Permanent Agriculture and Permanent Rural areas in Sciota and Randolph Townships respectively are guided at eight units per 40 acres rather than one unit per 40 acres and one unit per ten acres consistent with the RGS. This could allow up to 378 additional units, but both townships accepted Council forecasts which show growth of only 70 households 2000-2020. 3. Eureka Township proposes to designate portions of the Airlake Reliever Airport as MUSA adjacent to Lakeville. Will this create pressure for urban growth in rural area? 4. Should the Metropolitan Council permit the composite plan for 17 cities and townships in Southern Dakota County to be placed into effect? Overview and Funding The Southern Dakota County Plan Update is a composite comprehensive plan for the entire rural portion of the county consisting of 12 townships and five cities that worked jointly to prepare the plan. (Only the city of Hampton is submitting a separate plan update.) The Regional Growth Strategy (RGS) identifies most of the sub-region as Permanent Agriculture with significantly lesser area designated as Permanent Rural and small areas for Urban Reserve. The city of Vermillion is designated as a Rural Growth Center. The proposed plan designates much of the area for Agricultural Preservation (93 percent of the townships' area) at a density of one housing unit per 40 acres. The remaining portions are designated as rural residential at one unit per 10 acres, plotted (small lots) residential, park and open space, commercial/industrial, conservancy and "other agriculture" at eight units per 40 acres. The collaborative received a planning grant for $66,960 to assist with the costs of preparing the plan and identifying long-term agricultural lands, The higher forecast for Vermillion Township will have little impact on regional systems, what impact there is would result from minor additional traffic on the regional transportation system, Therefore, this departure from the RGS is not considered a substantial departure, Parts of Randolph and Sciota Townships allow densities of up to eight units per 40 acres where land is not particularly suitable for agricultural use. Although not consistent with the RGS, the proposed densities will not have a substantial impact upon regional sewer, transportation and recreation open space system plans, and therefore the inconsistency is not a substantial departure from regional plans. The 2, IS 7 acres designated eight units per 40 acres represents one percent of the land within the Southern Dakota County townships. The other land is protected at one per 40 (93%), one per 10 (1 %), in parks/open space (4%) or other uses (1 %). The area designated for MUSA in Eureka Township is entirely on Metropolitan Airport Commission lands. This designation is to comply with Council policies, which direct MAC to extend sewers to reliever airports. Since this extension is only to the airport lands, and will have designated capacity to serve MAC area only, it will not create pressure for further urban development. LINKAGE TO COUNCIL STRATEGIES o Infrastructure: Plan maintains a rural level of infrastructure except for a Rural Growth Center, which is served by a municipal treatment plant. o Quality of life: Plan emphasizes the protection of long-term agriculture, open 'space and the rural character and life style of Southern Dakota County. o Communication/constituency building: Plan involved 17 cities and townships in preparing a joint plan for the development of the sub-region. o Alignment: The composite plan meets all Metropolitan Land Planning Act requirements for 1998 Ian u dates. 2 ~ ~ < ~ ~ ~ z < ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ 00 o ~ ~ o u ~ ~ z ~ o u < ~ o ~ < ~ ~ ~ = ~ ~ o 00 .< as /~ !;Il ~ ~ ....

The current land use is primarily agricultural land, either productive, tiled land or pastureland. Seventy-seven percent of the land (net acres) is agriculture/vacant. The remainder of the land is used for scattered single-family residential, commercial, industrial, park/open space and institutional. Six small rural cities serve the area. Only two of these, Hampton and Vermillion, are served by separate municipal wastewater treatment plants. (The city of Hampton submitted a separate plan update and is not part of the planning collaborative.) The other rural cities -- Coates, Miesville, New Trier and Randolph are generally smaller and provide fewer services. The annual growth experienced by the five cities and 12 townships since 1990 ranges from almost no new residential development to a few houses. The plan indicates the local governing bodies in Southern Dakota County continue to support a strong policy for preserving agricultural land. Agricultural land is "an important land use in Dakota County and is considered to be a legitimate and permanent land use in those areas designated as such in the composite growth management plan," according to the plan. AUTHORITY TO REVIEW The Council received the composite comprehensive plan update for 17 Southern Dakota County townships and cities on July 29, 1999 and found the plan complete for formal review on November 15,1999. The Metropolitan Land Use Planning Act requires local governments to submit comprehensive plans and plan amendments to the council for review and comment. (MN. Stat. S 473.864, Subd. 2). The Council reviews the plans to determine their conformity with metropolitan system plans, apparent consistency with other adopted plans of the Council and compatibility with the plans of other local jurisdictions in the Metropolitan Area. The Council may require a local governmental unit to modify any comprehensive plan or part thereof, which may have a substantial departure from metropolitan system plans (Minn. Stat. S 473.175, Subd. 1). ANALYSIS The 17 cities and townships agreed to work together as a collaborative to prepare a joint plan update. (In Dakota County, townships and cities have planning and zoning authority.) Eleven of the townships and cities will adopt a local component of the composite plan as an amendment to their local comprehensive plan. These are as follows: Douglas Township' Marshan Township Randolph Township Eureka Township City of Miesville Sciota Township Greenvate. Township' City of New Trier Waterford Township Hampton Township City of Randolph Five communities included more extensive updates of their comprehensive plans for a variety of reasons. Those jurisdictions incorporated the components addressed under the joint planning process, in addition to more extensive updates of their current local plans. (The Empire Township plan update, which was one of the five, will be reviewed separately by the Council.) This includes the following communities: city of Coates, city of Vermillion, and Vermillion Township. Castle Rock and Ravenna Townships, whose plans were reviewed in 1998 by the Council, have incorporated the components of the joint planning process, including the surface water and on-site sewage treatment systems management elements. The plan update contains six individual documents including the following: . A Composite Comprehensive Plan Update for Eighteen Cities and Townships (July 28, 1999) . Comprehensive Plan Addendums (July 28, 1998) . City of Coates Comprehensive Plan (June 1999) . Nininger Township Comprehensive Plan (June 15, 1999) . City of Vermillion, Comprehensive Plan (May 1999) . Vermillion Township Comprehensive Plan (Final copy adopted June 22, 1999) The Vermillion Township Comprehensive Plan was prepared separately by and for the township and submitted separately on September 15, 1999 and substituted for that portion ofthe composite plan. In addition, supplementary materials were submitted at various dates by the collaborative following Council staffs determination on August 11, 1999, the plan was incomplete for review. These include the following: 1. Letter from Jeffrey Connell, Resource Strategies Corp" dated September I, 1999 including a housing element to be included in the Composite Plan, 2. Letter from Jeffrey Connell, Resource Strategies Corp" dated October 14, 1999 indicating land use changes in the Sciota Township Plan. 3. Letter from Jeffrey Connell, Resource Strategies Corp., dated October 25, 1999 including changes, to the Eureka Township plan in regards to Airlake Airport. 4. Letter from Jeffrey Connell, Resource Strategies, dated September 14,1999, including additional information regarding the city of Vermillion sewer element ofthe composite plan. 5. Letter from David Swenson, Dakota County Environmental Management Department, dated August 20, 1999, regarding the county and townships' implementation agreement for on-site sewage treatment management program. 6. Resolution dated June 29, 1999 by Vermillion Township Board addressing housing element in comprehensive plan update. Staff reviewed the plan update for consistency with the Regional Blueprint, regional system plans for aviation, recreation, open space, transportation and water resources management, other chapters of the Metropolitan Development Guide and for compatibility with the plans of adjacent governmental units and school districts. Regional Blueprint and Land Use (Richard Thompson, 651-602-1457) Regional Growth Strategy The Regional.Growth.Strategy (RG8) identifies most of Southern DakotmCounty as Permanent Agricultural Area with only a few exceptions. The city of Vermillion, which is served by a separate municipal wastewater treatment system, is designated a Rural Growth Center. The Council will support growth in this city as long as it can finance and provide the needed urban services. Plans are to include 20-year urban staging areas, Western Eureka and all of Randolph Township and the city of Randolph are designated Permanent Rural. The northern edge of Eureka Township, adjacent to the city of Lakeville, and the small city of Coates along the southern edge 2 of the city of Rosemount are designated Urban Reserve to provide land for future development beyond the year 2020. According to the RGS, Permanent Agriculture areas include long-term agricultural land that is categorized as Class I, II, III and irrigated Class IV, land according to the U,S. Soil Conservation Service and "agricultural preserve" land under the Metropolitan Agricultural Reserves Act that is certified by local governments as eligible for the agricultural preserves program. In permanent agricultural areas, the Council will support a density of no more than one housing unit per 40 acres. Permanent Rural Area is land outside the 2040 Urban Reserve boundary that has a wide variety of land uses, including farms, very low-density residential development and facilities that serve mainly urban residents such as regional parks. Regional services should not be extended into this area to serve high-density development like that found in the urban area. Only developments that protect the rural character of the Permanent Rural Area and that will not require urban services should be allowed. The Council will use a performance standard of an overall density up to one dwelling unit per 10 acres, This is consistent with maintaining a rural lifestyle and character and is consistent with transportation system capacities in this part of the region. To the extent it is permitted by local governments, development should be clustered rather than occur on scattered, large-lot subdivisions. Forecasts Based on the emphasis on protection of agriculture, the composite plan household forecasts reflect continued limited growth to 2020 and with one exception are consistent with the Council's forecasts (See Table I). The household forecasts for Vermillion Township are 120 higher than the Council's -- 620 vs. SOO for 2020 or an overall increase of 200 households from 2000 to 2020. The higher forecast for Vermillion Township of 120 Households by 2020 would have little if any impact on regional systems, what impact there is would result from additional traffic (120 per hour trips or six additional trips per year) on the regional transportation system. This departure from the RGS is not considered a substantial departure. The composite plan projects an overall increase from year 2000 to 2020 of 1040 households or approximately SO households a year. In most cities and townships, the growth rate ranges from no-growth to a few houses a year. The limited growth reflects the rural level of services available, particularly the lack of central sewer service in the sub-region and the emphasis on agricultural land preservation. Projected household growth will be widely scattered throughout the sub-region ranging from no increase in the cities of Miesville and New Trier to 200 in Vermillion Township. 3 Table 1: Projected Households - Southern Dakota County Townships and Citiesl Township/City 1990 1995 2000 2010 2020 Castle Rock Twp. 460 484 510 560 600 Douglas Twp. 192 213 230~ 260 270 Eureka Twp. 447 496 540 600 650 Greenvale Twp. 228 214 250 270 290 Hampton Twp. 260 281 300 330 360 Marshan Twp. 373 401 430 470 500 Nininger Twp. 201 262 280 310 340 Randolph Twp. 158 177 200 230 250 Ravenna Twp. 546 651 750 850 920 Sciota Twp. 86 100 110 120 130 Vermillion Twp.2 354 385 420 510 620 Council Forecast (For Vermillion Twp.) - - 410 450 500 Waterford Twp. 182 192 200 220 230 City of Coates 66 66 70 70 80 City of Miesville 47 48 50 50 50 City of New Trier 29 30 30 30 30 City of Randolph 111 118 120 130 140 City of Vermillion 157 159 170 210 240 Total 3937 4277 4660 5220 5700 Land Use Element Permanent Agriculture -- Consistent with the RGS -- the composite plan designates much of Southern Dakota County as agriculture preservation at a density of one unit per 40 acres (see Table 2). In order to document and verify land for agricultural preservation, the planning collaborative used the identification process established by the Metropolitan Council wherein each section of land is rated according to 10 criteria as to its suitability for agriculture. The collaborative received a Council grant to pay for the study. According to the study results, most of the land should be targeted for agricultural preservation. Exceptions are the fringes of cities, including Hastings, Farmington, Lakeville and Northfield where there is existing, scattered development or large non-rural uses, including an airport and municipal wastewater treatment plant. I All forecasts are consistent with the Council's with the exception of Vel million Township as noted. 2 Vermillion Township forecast for 2020 is 120 households higher than Council's as noted, 4 Table 2: Proposed Land Use - Southern Dakota County 2020 Growth Management Plan Total Acres Percent Rural Parks/ Townships Areal Agriculture Agriculture Residential Open Other2 (1 per 40) (1 per 10) Space Douglas Twp. 21,741 19,893 91% 316 1,532 - Eureka Twp. 22,882 22,120 97% - - 760 Greenvale Twp. 18,970 18,970 100% - - - Hampton Twp. 22,011 22,006 100% - - 5 Marshan Twp. 22,158 21,056 95% - 1,1023 - Nininger Twp. 7,595 5,745 76% 586 1,254 10 Randolph Twp. 6,777 4,334 64% 5824 1,481 380 Sciota Twp. 9,495 7,916 83% 1,5754 - 4 172Erro r!

In addition, several large areas designated as Permanent Rural by the RGS are designated by the plan update as agriculture. This includes all of western Eureka Township, much of Randolph Township and part of the city of Randolph. The designation of areas for agricultural protection is consistent with the Regional Growth Strategy. 1 Includes water, wetlands, and other land uses. 2 Includes commercial, industrial, plotted residential and public institutional. 3 All conservancy. 4 Consists ofland designated "agriculture at eight units per 40." 5 Designated "agriculturaVvacant." 5 Local communities are given the flexibility of designating the future use of rural areas based on land use data and analysis carried out as part of developing the plan. For example, all of Eureka Township was previously planned and zoned one unit per 40 acres to protect agriculture, and the agricultural land identification study supported this policy. The town board resisted strong local pressures and supported continuing the agricultural protection policy for the entire township. Randolph Township also identified the northern three-quarters as agriculture (one per 40) rather than permanent rural. The results of the agricultural land identification study supports this action by the town. The remainder of the to\vnship is parks and open space, residential and agriculture at eight units per 40. As Table 2 indicates, 93% of the land or 152,147 acres in the townships, and 78% of the land or 2,634 acres in the cities are, designated agricultural protection in the composite plan. Of the other approximately 10,700 acres in the Townships, approximately 3,500 acres are identified for rural residential at a density of one per 10 or agriculture at eight per 40. Another 5,500 acres are identified as parks and open space or conservancy. The remainder is institutional, commercial-industrial, and platted residential. All five cities in the composite plan have lands within their boundaries which are not planned for development to 2020 or beyond. Four of the five designated extensive areas for agriculture protection at one unit per 40 acres. Agriculture uses could continue on these lands for a long time. The cities ofMiesville, Coates and Vermillion designated 1061, 717 and 500 acres, respectively, for agriculture. Permanent Rural- Several of the townships designated limited areas (less than 10%) as rural residential with a density of one unit per 10 acres. These include portions of Douglas, Nininger, Vermillion and Waterford. In each case, the RGS identifies these areas as Permanent Agriculture. The analysis of existing land use and land suitability for agriculture included in the planning for these townships indicates these areas already had a high density of scattered development or platted lots and were less suitable for agriculture preservation. The areas are better suited as low-density (one per 10) rural residential development. The change from Permanent Agriculture under the RGS to rural residential under the composite plan is consistent with the RGS. Two of the townships, Randolph and Sciota, designated extensive areas, 582 and 1575 acres, respectively, as agriculture where densities up to eight units per 40 acres are considered acceptable where land is not particularly suitable for agricultural use. In Randolph, the areas form a corridor along Lake Byllesby and Lake Byllesby Regional Park. In Sciota, the land forms a corridor along both sides of the Cannon River and the proposed Southern Dakota County Regional Trail. The composite plan also identifies the Cannon River as a natural corridor to be protected as part of a long-term conservation and open space strategy for Southern Dakota County. Each of the areas already includes some scattered large lot development, which occurred because of the proximity of the river, lake and regional park. The proposed higher density will not protect agriculture and will place more pressure on existing agriculture and encourage more scattered development along the corridors. There are no public sewers in the area, and development will be served by individual sewage treatment systems. The acreage identified for Randolph, 582 acres, and Sciota, 1575 acres, far exceeds the forecast household increases for both, 50 and 20 households, respectively. The proposed eight units per 40 acres is not consistent with the RGS neither for Permanent Agriculture (one unit per 40 acres) Permanent Agriculture (one unit per 10 acres), However, the proposed densities will not have a substantial impact from regional sewer, transportation and recreation open space systems plans, and the inconsistency is not a substantial departure fromregionalplans.Both Randolph and Sciota Townships should reevaluate the proposed eight per 40 acres density prior to adopting the plan and if the areas are not suitable for agricultural preservation, designate the areas as Rural Residential at a one per 10 density. \J Rural Growth Center - The city of Vermillion, which is served by a municipal wastewater treatment plant and water supply system, is designated Rural Growth Center by the RGS, The Council supports the growth of Rural 6 Growth Centers if they can finance and provide the necessary services. The city is planning on a modest growth in households, 60 new households from 2000 to 2020, for a total of 240 households, which is consistent with Council forecasts: The plan indicates the city will need an additional 30 acres for residential, commercial and industrial development to 2020. The plan calls for the addition of 20 single-family detached housing units and 20 multi- family units on 26 acres ofland for an overall density of3.33 units per acre, which is consistent with the RGS density policy of at least three units per acre. Detached units will develop at a density of 3.3 units per acre, and multi-family residential will develop at a density of 10 units per acre. The city's current municipal WWTP is close to capacity, and a study is under way to address the city's needs for service. The city should limit future growth to the capacity remaining in its WWTP until additional capacity is available. The plan assumes additional wastewater treatment capacity will be provided by 2004. The remainder of the city is designated agriculture, which will remain in agricultural use for the term of the plan. Other Cities - The other four small cities of Coates, Miesville, New Trier and Randolph, which are not designated Rural Growth Centers and lack municipal sewer systems, are planned for limited growth. In Miesville and New Trier, which the RGS designates as Permanent Agriculture and where no household growth is projected, the amount of agricultural land at one unit per 40 acres remains almost constant through 2020. Ninety-six percent of Miesville and 65 percent of New Trier are planned for agriculture. Limited residential infill is planned. The RGS designates Coates as primarily Urban Reserve, which the city supports, and 80 percent of the city is designated long-term agriculture at a one unit per 40 acres density. Modest expansions of commercial, industrial and low-density residential development could occur under the plan. The RGS indicates the city of Randolph as Permanent Rural, but the composite plan designates the northern one-third of the city for agriculture (one unit per 40), which was determined to be the most suitable, one-quarter of the city for rural residential at one unit per 10 acres, and the remainder for public open space and modest commercial and institutional expansion. Regional Systems Aviation (Chauncey Case, 651-602-1724) Airlake Airport is located partially in Eureka Township in Southern Dakota County and partially in the city of Lakeville to the north. Airlake is owned by the Metropolitan Airports Commission (MAC) and operated as a reliever facility to Minneapolis/St. Paul International Airport. MAC has plans to expand the 60 existing hangers to 120 hangers and extend sanitary sewer service to all of them. The Council's Aviation Policy Plan directs MAC to extend sewers to reliever airports where service is available and where reliever airports, for example Airlake, straddle the boundary between the rural service area and the Metropolitan Urban Service Area (MUSA). The portion of the airport which is located in Lakeville is already served by municipal sewers. MAC has requested sewer service from Lakeville for Eureka Township portion of the plan. Lakeville has not officially acted on this request as of this date, but the city has indicated it will extend sewers if that portion of the airport is annexed. Eureka Township has designated a MUSA, which includes the hanger and other terminal facilities, in the composite comprehensive plan update. The composite plan also indicates the airport noise zone and existing and future runways. The composite plan is consistent with the Council's Aviation Policy Plan. 7 Vermillion Township should include notification language to MnDOT regarding potential airspace obstructions in its zoning ordinance. Recreation & Open Space (Phyllis Hanson, 651-602-1566) The composite plan is consistent with the Regional Parks and Open Space Policy Plan. Miesville Ravine Regional Park Reserve, Spring Lake Regional Park Reserve, Lake Byllesby Regional Park, the proposed Southern Dakota County South Regional Trail along the,Cannon River,. and the proposed Mississippi River Regional Trail, are located in Southern Dakota County. The city of Randolph portion of the plan addendum document should specify the Southern Dakota County Regional Trail, prior to final adoption of the composite plan. Transportation and Transit (Ann Braden, 651-602-1705) The transportation element of the Southern Dakota County Plan is very comprehensive, is in conformity with the Transportation Policy Plan and addresses all applicable transportation requirements of a comprehensive plan, The plan has no unanticipated impacts on the metropolitan transportation system. Southern Dakota County lies outside the metro transit-taxing district. Sewers (Don Bluhm, 651-602-1116) Southern Dakota County is served primarily by individual sewage treatment systems (ISTS), except for the city of Vermillion, which is served by a municipal wastewater treatment plant. None of the other four small cities provide central, public sewer services. The city of Vermillion plan indicates that its treatment plant has limited capacity to serve future growth. The city has secured the services of a consultant to prepare a facilities plan by April 2000 and estimates the expansion will be completed by 2004. The city should limit its sewer connections to stay within the capacity of the existing plant until additional capacity is available and submit a draft of the proposed facilities plan to the Council for review. As indicated earlier, the plan update recommends metropolitan sewer service be extended to serve the 60 existing and 60 new hangers at Airlake Airport, This portion of the airport is located in Eureka Township but is contiguous to the city of Lakeville MUSA and would be the only portion of the township served through 2020. The proposed MUSA expansion is consistent with the Aviation Policy Plan, The comprehensive sewer element of the plan update is consistent with the Council's Wastewater Services Policy Plan. Water Resources Managemeut (Jim Larsen, 651-602-1159) With the exception of the city of Vermillion, development is and will continue to be served by ISTS. With the additional materials submitted, the plan is in conformity with the regional water resources management plan. All four small cities and 13 townships have approved an agreement with Dakota County to implement a management program for the maintenance andinspectionofISTS consistent with Minn. Rules Ch. 7080 and the Council's Wastewater Services Policy Plan. The collaborative received a $15,000 grant from the Council to develop and implement the program. The county will use a software package made available at no cost to local governments. 8 The plan also indicates all the townships and cities will adopt the Council's Interim Strategy for the Reduction of Non-point Source Pollution. The plan indicates the communities will adopt land use controls to implement the interim strategy. The task should be completed within 120 days following Council approval of the plans. The composite plan contains a "natural areas and corridors element," which provides a planning framework for the use, protection, preservation and enhancement of natural resources in the townships and cities. (The collaborative received a grant from the DNR to assist in producing this part of the plan.) Natural resources include undeveloped habitats, surface and groundwaterresources, undeveloped open space, significant seenic and scientific areas, and in some cases agricultural land, The purpose of the element is to identify roles and responsibilities in identifying and protecting these areas and corridors, The plan recognizes that protection of natural areas and corridors will preserve the rural character and economy of rural Dakota County. The plan indicates that the use of a variety of tools will be investigated to protect these areas, including purchase of development rights, transfer of development rights and conservation easements. Dakota County has received funds from the Legislative Commission on Minnesota Resources and is conducting a two-year study of these tools. Development of the Natural Areas and Corridors Element used public workshops and meetings to involve residents, local officials and other interested individuals. Two maps in the plan indicate the results of the biological survey and natural features mapping, Several natural corridors along rivers and streams and other special natural areas are identified on the maps. The natural area plan element provides a model that other local governments can use in planning for the future of their communities. Other Metropolitan Development Guide Chapters Housing (Guy Peterson, 651-602-1418/Linda Milashius, 651-602-1541) A supplementary housing element submitted by the collaborative of 12 townships and five cities indicates they have a cooperative agreement to work with the Dakota County Housing and Redevelopment Authority on housing rehabilitation and maintenance programs. This is consistent with the Council's housing policies. The housing element for the city of Vermillion is consistent with the Council's housing policies and requirements of the Metropolitan Land Planning Act. The city is not a participant in the Livable Communities Act Housing Incentive Program, but it will continue to work with the Dakota County HRA to address housing issues within the community, Compatibility with Adjacent Jurisdictions Copies of comments by the city of Lakeville and Dakota County were received. No major issues were raised. FINDINGS AND CONCLUSIONS 1. The composite plan update for Southern Dakota County meets all of the Metropolitan Land Planning Act requirements for 1998 plan updates. 2. The composite plan update for 17 cities and townships in Southern Dakota County is consistent with the Regional Blueprint and the Regional Growth Strategy (RGS) for rural Dakota County except as noted below. 3. The composite plan household forecasts to 2020 are consistent with the Council's forecasts with the exception of Vermillion Township. However, the additional 120 households forecast for the township by 2020 will not impact metropolitan system plans and does not constitute a substantial departure from the Regional Growth Strategy. 9 4. The designation of all the areas by the composite plan update for Southern Dakota County for permanent agriculture, including all of Eureka Township, the northern portions of the city and township of Randolph and lands in the rural cities of Coates, Miesville, New Trier, Randolph, and Vermillion at a density of one unit per 40 acres is consistent with the RGS. 5. The composite plan designation of582 acres in Randolph Township and 1,575 acres in Sciota Township as agriculture at a density of eight units per 40 acres is not consistent with the RGS policies of one unit per 40 acres for Permanent Agriculture or one unit per 10 acres for Permanent Rural. However, the increased densities will not have a negative impact on metropolitan sewer and transportation systems and is not considered a substantial departure. The township's household forecast is consistent with the RGS. The township boards should reevaluate these designations prior to their adoption of the plan. 6. The composite plan update for Southern Dakota County is in conformity with the metropolitan system plans for Transportation and Water Resources Management. The cities and townships will adopt land use controls within 120 days of Council approval to implement the Council's Interim Strategy for Reducing Non-point Source Pollution. 7. The city of Vermillion municipal wastewater treatment plant does not have adequate capacity to serve the city's 2020 household forecasts. The city is preparing a facilities plan to address the need for capacity. 8. The composite plan is consistent with the Regional Recreation Open Space Policy Plan. The city of Randolph's portion does not specify the Southern Dakota County Regional Trail along the Cannon River. 9. The composite plan, in particular the Eureka Township portion, which indicates the expansion of the Airlake Airport, is consistent with the Regional Aviation Policy Plan. The proposed MUSA expansion for the extension of sewers to serve existing and proposed hanger areas is consistent with the Aviation Policy Plan, 10. The Vermillion Township portion of the plan does not indicate the township will include notification language to MnDOT regarding potential airspace obstructions in its zoning ordinance. 11. The composite plan update is consistent with the Council's Housing Policy. 12. The composite plan update is compatible with the plans of adjacent jurisdictions and school districts. RECOMMENDATIONS That the Metropolitan Council adopt the executive summary and review record with the following recommendations: 1. The Southern Dakota County Planning Collaborative (its cities and township's) as identified in this report, may place its composite plan update into effect and no plan modification is required. 2. The city of Vermillion should submit a copy of its draft facilities plan for the wastewater treatment plant expansion, when complete, to the Council for review, 3. The Randolph and Sciota Township Boards should reevaluate the designation of 582 and 1575 acres, respectively, of land as agriculture at a density of eight units per 40 acres, prior to adoption of the plan and if the land is not suitable for agricultural preservation, designate the areas rural residential at one unit per 10 acres. 10 4. The city of Randolph portion of the plan should specify the Southern Dakota County Regional Trail prior to adoption of the plan. 5. Vermillion Township should include notification language to MnDOT regarding potential airspace obstructions in its zoning ordinance. 6. The Southern Dakota County cities and townships should adopt land use controls to implement the Interim Strategy for Reducing Non-point Source Pollution within. 120 days of Council approval of the composite. plan. 11 Figure 1.

District 16: John Conzemius (507-263-2545) Minn. Stat. 473.864, Subd. 2 and 473.175, Subd. 1 Bob Mazanec, Principal Reviewer (651-602-1330); Eli Cooper, Director, Planning and Growth Management Department (651-602-1521); Thomas McElveen, Director, Community Development Division (651-602-1306) Community DevelopmenUPlanning and Growth Management Proposed Action/Motion That the Metropolitan Council adopt the attached Review Record finding: A) That the Empire Township Comprehensive Plan (June 1999 Final Draft) is in conformity with metropolitan system plans, consistent with other adopted plans of the Council, and compatible with plans of other local governmental units; and B) That Empire Township may put its comprehensive plan into effect with the following three conditions: I) Prepare a Tier II Comprehensive Sewer Plan that addresses how the township will manage its short-term wastewater flows in light of the Metropolitan Wastewater Disposal System's current limitations and submit it for Council review by the end of2000; 2) Commit to work with the Council and other jurisdictions in the Empire Wastewater Treatment Plant Service Area to devise a plan for meeting long term service needs through a process to be facilitated by the Environmental Services Division; and 3) Commit to work with the Council on plan implementation consistent with smart growth principles and practices that perpetuate a long-term hard edge between urbanized parts of the township and agricultural parts of the township. Issue(s) Is the Empire Township Comprehensive Plan in conformity with metropolitan system plans, consistent with other adopted plans of the Council, and compatible with plans of other local governmental units? In particular: . Should the township's higher forecasts be considered reasonable and therefore consistent with Council's? . Should the Council provide capacity at the Empire Wastewater Treatment Plant to accommodate urban growth projected by the township? Overview Empire Township's Gomprehensive<Plan responds very well to the RegionaLBlueprint: Given the existing development pattern, availability of urban services, and proximity to Farmington as an economic center, the Blueprint indicates part of the township could be expected to urbanize at some point in time. The Blueprint shows most of the township as Permanent Agricultural Area. A small area along its western border with the city of Farmington is shown as a combination oflllustrative 2020 MUSA and Urban Reserve. The township's plan refines these boundary lines and adheres to Council guidelines on densities. t By far most of the township is maintained for agricultural and open space purposes at no more than one dwelling unit per 40 acres. Environmentally sensitive areas are identified and protected. A small area on the western side of the township contiguous to urban development in both Empire and Farmington is planned to urbanize. These areas are currently agricultural but with metropolitan sewer service, a state highway, and township water supply system nearby. Future urbanization areas are planned for an average of three dwelling units per acre. Interim land uses in both the 2020 utility service area and post2020 future development area will be limited to one residential unit per 40 acres. Virtually no commercial or industrial uses are planned before 2020. The main question that arises is the amount of growth forecast by the township and whether it is prepared to deal with the administrative demands of overseeing significant amounts of development. Empire Township bases its plan on growth forecasts substantially higher than the Council's. For 2020 the Council forecasts 600 households while the township forecasts 1,611. Such forecasts are based on recent trends and maybe reasonable if planned within the parameters of metropolitan systems. Because of insufficient capacity at the Empire Wastewater Treatment Plant, the township will need to recognize and work within current system constraints and prepare a comprehensive sewer plan to manage the forecasted growth and development for its utility service area consistent with metropolitan system capacities. Environmental Services staff can provide technical information and assistance in evaluating sewer service options. Plant expansion is planned for 2005 at the Empire Wastewater Treatment Plant (WWTP). Until then there is only enough capacity under present allocations available for the sewerage flow from 40 homes in Empire Township. However, there may be an opportunity to increase Empire's short-term allocation based on reallocation of flows elsewhere in the Empire WWTP service area. If so, there could be enough short-term capacity to accommodate township-forecasted growth to 2005, the target completion date for WWTP expansion. Empire Township updated its entire local comprehensive plan and also participated in the Southern Dakota County Planning Collaborative (18 townships and rural cities). Empire's agricultural preservation emphasis, environmental protection, and greenway/natural areas planning is consistent with other rural communities. Empire Township is unique because it also is situated within portions of the Council's 2020 Illustrative MUSA and Urban Reserve policy areas. The township's urban cluster is adjacent to the city of Farmington. Portions of the township are also adjacent to the cities of Lakeville and Rosemount. There is a need for the township to manage its urban development as well as it manages its agricultural and environmental protection plan components. The Council is willing to offer planning assistance to facilitate implementation of smart growth planning in this area of urban and agricultural interface and to investigate possibilities for financial or other assistance for a smart growth pilot project. LINKAGE TO COUNCIL STRATEGIES o Infrastructure: The plan maintains a rural level of infrastructure and development for most of the township except for expanded urban service areas contiguous to the existing service area. o Quality of life: The plan emphasized protection of long term agriculture, open space, and rural lifestyle for the subregion. o Communication/constituency building: While the plan was part of an 18-jurisdiction rural area consortium to do joint plann~ng for:thesubregion, there was no special coordination.withadjacent urban communities. o Alignment: The plan addresses all Metropolitan Land Planning Act requirements for plan updates but may not be fully in conformance with the Metropolitan Wastewater Management System Plan based upon the plan's forecasts. 2 ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ < z ~ ~ 0\ 0\ 0\ ,..-.i ~ z ~ ~ ~ z < ~ ~ ~ > ~ 00 z ~ == ~ ~ ~ o u ~ ~ == rLJ.

Empire Township is located near the geographic center of Dakota County (see location maps in appendix). Although it is primarily an agricultural community in terms of land use, it is a designated "urban town", meaning it has the same planning and zoning authority as a municipality. Empire has urban residential and commercial areas in its Utility Service Area, an area adjacent to the city of Fannington with a metropolitan sewer interceptor and a state highway running through it. Empire is located in a part of the region that may face increased development pressure from expanding suburban communities to its north and west, most notably Rosemount and Farmington. The comprehensive plan was prepared as part of the Southern Dakota County Planning Collaborative. The Collaborative prepared composite comprehensive plan updates for 18 cities and townships in Dakota County. The Collaborative used a consultant, Resource Strategies Corporation, and coordinated extensively with Dakota County officials. AUTHORITY FOR REVIEW The Metropolitan Land Use Planning Act requires local units of government to submit comprehensive plans and plan amendments to the Council for review and comment (MN. Stat. 9 473.864, Subd. 2). The Council reviews the plans to determine their conformity with metropolitan system plans, apparent consistency with other adopted plans of the Council, and compatibility with the plans of other local jurisdictions in the Metropolitan Area. The Council may require a local governmental unit to modify any comprehensive plan or part thereof, which may have a substantial impact on or contain a substantial departure from metropolitan system plans (Minn. Stat. ~ 473.175, Subd. 1). ANALYSIS The subject comprehensive plan for this review is titled "Empire Township Comprehensive Plan Final Draft June, 1999". Regional Blueprint The Regional Blueprint shows three policy areas in Empire Township: Permanent Agriculture, Urban Reserve, and Illustrative 2020 MUSA. Most of the township is shown as Permanent Agricultural Area. A small area along its western border with the city of Farmington is shown as a combination of Illustrative 2020 MUSA and Urban Reserve. (See map in appendix.) By far, most of the township is maintained for agricultural and open space purposes at no more than one dwelling unit per 40 acres. Environmentally sensitive areas are identified and will be protected. A small area on the western side of the township contiguous to urban development in both Empire and Farmington is planned to urbanize. These areas are currently agricultural but with metropolitan sewer service, a state highway, and a township water supply system nearby. Future urbanization areas are planned for an average density of three dwelling units per acre. Interim land uses in both the 2020 utility service area and post 2020 future development area will 3 be limited to one residential unit per 40 acres. Virtually no commercial 'or industrial uses are planned before 2020. Forecasts Empire Township bases its plan on household and population forecasts substantially higher than the Council's. Given Empire's location next to growing suburbs and the availability of central sewer and water utilities, higher growth rates are certainly possible. Empire's growth forecasts are based on recent. development trends. , HOUSEHOLDS POPULA nON EMPLOYMENT Empire 2000 585 1697 190 Council 2000 500 1500 190 Empire 2020 1611 4285 300 Council 2020 600 1600 . 300 The question becomes how to accommodate the growth pressures. Such forecasts may be reasonable if planned in relation to adjacent urban communities, if planned within the parameters of metropolitan systems, and if planned to preserve farmlands. The forecasts should be reevaluated as new information such as sewer service plans, smart growth implementation direction, and census data become available. Land Use The township plans to focus its growth in areas already served by central sewers and water and in expanded urban service areas contiguous to them. Development outside these planned service areas will be limited to levels consistent with continued farming. By far, most of the township is planned to remain in agricultural uses for the long ternl. (See maps in appendix.) In the township comprehensive plan almost 85% of the township is planned to remain agricultural/pasture land, wetland/floodplain, and public/institutional (U of M Research Area). Less than 3% is planned for rural residential uses prior to 2020, possibly including a neighborhood convenience retail cluster. Post 2020 future development areas are also planned. A small future/post 2020 development area of less than I % will remain in the township, plus another area currently accounting for almost 4% of the township's area will also be used for future urban development as part of the city of Farmington under an orderly annexation agreement. Empire Township used the Council's recommended Permanent Agricultural Identification Process to identify lands most suitable for preservation (see map in appendix). In addition, the township plans to enact righttofarm ordinances and uniform' standards: for feedlotoperations. Agribusinesses will be permitted in the long-term agricultural area. The University of Minnesota research facility occupies a significant portion of the township; it is used primarily for agricultural research and research on plants and animals. The township intends to maintain a definite distinction between its rural residential area and its agricultural area by encouraging residential development only within its rural residential district. Density is expected to average three housing units per acre in the rural residential district, which 4 will be served by central sewer and water. In the rural residential area the township will encourage a mix of housing types that are rural in ambiance but also that provide greater housing choices within the township in the future. Projected expansions of the utility district are based on the location and capacity of Empire's municipal sewer and water supply systems. Service area expansions include approximately 320 net, developable acres within a total designated area of approximately 450 acres (the other 130 acres are subj ect to environmental and other limitations) No Permanent Rural Areas between the rural residential and long-term agricultural areas are planned. In some instances planned urbanization areas are buffered from farm areas by open space provided by public/institutionallands, conservation areas, or park/recreation areas. Subregional Analysis Empire Township is located at a pivotal point between urbanizing suburbs and farms. It is immediately adjacent to the Farmington economic/trade area plus has two other urbanizing communities along its borders, yet it is also part of the south metro agricultural economy and landscape. How the township deals with these competing pressures over the next twenty years will determine whether the township largely preserves its agricultural heritage and character or whether it becomes the next ring of urbanization within the region. Empire Township is at a critical interface for achieving smart growth. Hence, the township must be proactive in determining its future. This Comprehensive Plan is a strong statement of direction that the township intends to work hard toward preserving its rural/farm character and lifestyle. The township has set a course to maintain a clear, distinguishable urban-rural edge. Perpetuating this definite edge will be a challenge as growth increases and intensifies in the urbanizing communities to Empire's north and west. Incongruous as it may seem, Empire Township needs to become more urban in its orientation and capabilities in order to preserve its largely rural environment. In fact, the plan addresses this dichotomy. It explicitly states that "The growth anticipated in the plan will result in additional administrative demands on the township". While most ofthe township's administrative functions and services are currently provided through consultants and contractors, the most cost effective and appropriate methods for providing services will be reevaluated from time to time as the township and its environment changes. Empire Township participated in the Southern Dakota County Planning Collaborative (18 townships and rural cities). Empire's agricultural preservation emphasis, environmental protection and greenway/natural areas planning is consistent with that of other rural communities. Empire Township is unique, however, because it also is situated within portions of the Council's 2020 Illustrative MUSA and Urban Reserve policy areas. The township's urbandusteris adjacent to the city of Farmington.,.Portions ofthe.townshipare also adjacent to the cities of Lakeville and Rosemount. There is a need for the township to manage its urban development as well as it manages its agricultural and environmental protection plan components. Further investigation of how to apply smart growth principles and practices may be useful to the township as it implements its plan and faces competing urban- rural pressures. 5 Historic site preservation and solar access The Comprehensive Plan for Empire Township adequately addresses historic preservation and solar access. Plan implementation Zoning and subdivision ordinances, regulations for stormwater management, erosion control, and wetland protection, and regulation of individual sewage treatment systems are the major tools the township will use to implement its plan. The township commits to updating and using these official controls, including several specific amendments: ~ Right to farm provisions ~ Code revisions to accommodate proposed housing mix and density ~ Meeting the requirements ofMPCA Chapter 7080 for individual sewage treatment system management ~ Revising the environmental resources protection element after the Vermillion River Watershed Management Organization completes its plan ~ Uniform feedlot standards. Further, the comprehensive plan identifies other planning studies that will be needed as growth occurs. These include more specific plans for central sewers, water supply and distribution, and surface water management. A five-year capital improvement plan is also included in the comprehensive plan. It covers mostly water lines, parks/recreation, and trails. Township expenditures for a planned loop watermain trunk network will be reflected in future CIPs. Future sanitary sewer improvements will be limited to lateral extensions and paid as development costs, as will new streets. Aviation The comprehensive plan is in conformance with the Council's aviation system plan and raises no Issues. Recreation Open Space The comprehensive plan is in conformance with the Regional Recreation!Open Space Policy Plan and raises no metropolitan issues. Transportation_ (See map in Appendix.) The comprehensive plan is in conformance with the Transportation Policy Plan and raises no issues. This part of southern Dakota County is outside the Metro Transit Taxing District; there is local dial-a-ride service in Farmington. Water Resources Management The comprehensive.planis in conformancewithmetropohtanwateF~resources.management plans and raises no regional issues. The plan for the Southern Dakota County Planning Collaborative indicates all the townships will adopt the Council's Interim Strategy for the reduction of Non- Point Source Pollution.. The Collaborative's Plan indicates communities will adopt land use controls to implement the Interim Strategy. This should be done within 90 days following completion of the Council's comprehensive plan review. 6 Wastewater Service (See map in appendix.) When the Metropolitan Council approved a MUSA addition for the city of Farmington in 1998, it also approved a distribution plan for the Empire Wastewater Treatment Plant serving Empire Township, among others. Empire Township's allocation is .089 MGD. Current flows are approximately .074 MGD. Consequently, to stay within this allocated flow amount Empire Township can only add 40 new homes to the metropolitan system until the new WWTP is completed in 2005. However, based on recent local plans submitted by other communities in the Empire WWTP service area, there appears to be some extra capacity that can be reassigned to Empire Township. This would be enough capacity to handle Empire's needs to 2005 (.150 MGD). Completing a Tier II Comprehensive Sewer Plan is necessary as a basis for determining Empire's reallocated flow, if any, and to ensure the integrity of the metropolitan wastewater service system. In addition, the Empire WWTP has a total capacity of 12 MGD and is planned for expansion in 2005. Capacity can be designed into the plant expansion to meet Empire's 2020 needs of .346 MGD. A long-term plan for meeting the needs of all communities in the plant's service area is needed when designing the WWTP expansion. In regard to onsite sewer system standards, the township is part of an agreement with Dakota County to implement a management program for the maintenance and inspection of on-site waste management systems consistent with Minn. Rules Ch. 7080. Water Supply Empire's June 1999 local comprehensive plan update addresses the issues raised in the Council's water supply plan review of April 14, 1997. Reference is made to ongoing actions regarding meter installation and a conservation-based water billing system. As these implementation steps are completed, the Council should be updated. Housing The housing element of the comprehensive plan for Empire Township is consistent with regional housing policies and meets the housing planning requirements of the Land Planning Act. In this comprehensive plan, Empire Township is proposing to grow through 2010 to a total household number over twice as great as that forecasted by the Council and to 2020 by a number nearly three times the Council's forecasted growth. Through 2010 it will add about 185 net, developable acres into the MUSA and after that 135 more. The plan includes demographic, housing and employment data about the township and Dakota County, as well as an analysis of existing and future land use in the community. The plan presents a limited set of housing policies that address the preservation of existing housing and encourage and permit expanded affordable housing opportunities. Empire Township has become a Livable Communities Act (LCA) participant and has adopted housing goals. The plan includes LCA affordable and life-cycle housing goals for the sewered portion of the community that are very consistent with the benchmark ranges for developing suburban communities in the South of S1. Paul planning sector (see below). As a community where currently less than 10 percent of its housing is something other than a detached single-family homes, by 2010 the township will strive to have at least 30 percent of its housing as attached units, will permit multifamily development of 7 up to six units per acre, and have an overall sewered residential density of at least three units per acre. Empire Township CITY INDEX BENCHMARK MUSA GOAL Affordability Ownership 92% 69 - 70% 70% Rental 41% 35 - 40% 35% Life Cycle Type (Non. single family detached) 9% 35 -38% 30% Ownerlrenter Mix 89%/11% (72.75%) / (25-28%) 75% /25% Density Single-Family Detached .9/ acre 1.9 - 2.1/ acre 2. I / acre Multifamily NA 1 0 / acre 6 / acre The plan indicates that the township will work with the Dakota County HRA and use programs of the Minnesota Housing Finance Agency and other organizations to maintain housing affordability in the community. In addition, it proposes staged growth that guides land to accommodate its affordable and life cycle housing goals. Compatibility with Adjacent Jurisdictions and School Districts The Council received a letter from the city of Farmington raising concerns about "continued non- municipal growth" outside city limits (see letter in appendix). The city feels such growth will lead to premature reliance on Farmington's municipal services and infrastructure and is not consistent with smart growth principles. Also, the city cites a lack of standardized infrastructure designs and street networks as issues between the two municipalities. The township has been given a copy of Farmington's letter. The Council is willing to offer the services of its Council district and sector representatives to facilitate implementation of smart growth principles and practices for the township, coordination ofurbaniz<ition patterns, and investigation of possibilities for financial or technical assistance for a smart growth pilot project. FINDINGS AND CONCLUSIONS 1. The "Empire Township Comprehensive Plan Final Draft June, 1999" meets all Metropolitan Land Planning Act requirements for plan updates. 2. Empire Township's Comprehensive Plan is consistent with the Regional Blueprint. The Township's land use and growth management plans refine the Blueprint's generalized policy area boundary lines and adhere to Council guidelines on densities. 3. Empire Township bases its plan on growth forecasts substantially higher than the Council's. For 2020 the Council forecasts 600 households while the Township forecasts 1,611. Although these forecasts may be reasonable, the consequent development patterns and infrastructure must be planned within the parameters of metropolitan systems. The forecasts should be reevaluated as new information such as.sewer..service.plans,' smart growth implementation direction, and census data become available. 4. The plan is in conformity with Metropolitan System Plans for Aviation, Recreation Open Space, Transportation, and Water Resources Management. The Plan for the Southern Dakota County Planning Collaborative indicates all the townships will adopt the Council's Interim Strategy for the reduction of Non-Point Source Pollution and that communities will adopt land use controls to implement the Interim Strategy. The land use controls should be in place 8 within 90 days following completion of the Council's comprehensive plan review. When installation of all water meters is completed and a conservation-based billing system is in place, the township should inform the Council. 5. Growth and sewer flow forecasts in the Empire Township Comprehensive Plan are not in conformity with the Wastewater Service System Plan. Council sewer plans allocate a flow of only .089MGD for Empire Township, whereas the Comprehensive Plan projects a flow of .346MGD for 2020. The Metropolitan Wastewater System may have enough capacity for Empire's projected 2005 flow of .150MGD if other communities in the Empire WWTP service area do not fully utilize their flow allocations. Since the Empire WWTP is being redesigned and expanded, it is also possible to design it with enough capacity for Empire Township's longer-term, 2020 projections. To ensure sufficient capacities in the Metropolitan Wastewater Treatment System, Empire Township must prepare a comprehensive sewer plan as soon as possible and work with the Council and other communities in the WWTP service area to ensure that there are sufficient short- and long- term capacities available for all communities' needs. 6. Empire Township's Comprehensive Plan is consistent with regional housing policies, and Empire Township is a Livable Communities Act participant. 7. Empire Township's Comprehensive Plan is compatible with plans of adjacent jurisdictions, but the city of Farmington has raised questions about the appropriateness of urban growth in Empire Township. Plans and implementing actions that are both compatible with each other and consistent with smart growth principles and practices should be a common objective for all communities in the subregion. 8. Empire Township's unique location within the Council's long range urban and permanent agricultural areas suggest an opportunity and need for careful growth management. The Council should invite the township to explore a pilot planning effort to address urban expansion pressures and long-range agricultural preservation in the area. Such a planning activity could become a smart growth planning model for the region where urban and agricultural land uses interface. RECOMMENDATION That the Metropolitan Council adopt this Review Record finding: A) That the Empire Township Comprehensive Plan (June 1999 Final Draft) is in conformity with metropolitan system plans, consistent with other adopted plans of the Council, and compatible with plans of other local governmental units; B) That Empire Township may put its comprehensive plan into effect with the following three conditions: 1) Prepare a Tier II Comprehensive Sewer Plan that addresses how the township will manage its short-term wastewater flows in light of the Metropolitan Wastewater Disposal System's current limitations and submit it for Council review by the end of2000; 2) Commit to work with the Council and other jurisdictions in the Empire Wastewater Treatment Plant Service Area to devise a plan for meeting long term service needs through a process to be facilitated by the Environmental Services Division; and 9 3) Commit to work with the Council on plan implementation consistent with smart growth principles and practices that perpetuate a long-term hard edge between urbanized parts of the township and agricultural parts of the township.

Peters Senior P.lanner/Sector Representative Mears Park Centre 230 East Fifth Street St. Paul, MN 55101-1626 RE: Metropolitan Council Staff visit - 10/28/99 Dear Mr. Peters: City staff would like to sincerely thank you, Liz and Carl for spending the morning of October 28, 1999 to meet with us to observe and discuss the existing and future growth of Farmington. This letter is a follow-up to our meeting concerning discussions associated with the growth in the City, and in particular, affordable housing and City concerns over non- municipal growth occurring at our corporate boundaries. First, it is staff s understanding that the City is following the guidelines for growth as established by the Metropolitan Council. This is underscored by developments such as East Farmington and new growth areas such as the Seed/Genstar property that support the community's forecasted growth through 2020. Additionally, the preservation of agricultural land on the west side of the City is important to the City's and Metropolitan Council's environmental and agricultural preservation initiatives. It is also understood that you are not concerned with the proposed land uses on parcels south of 19Sth Street along Pilot Knob Road that will soon be in the schematic plan approval stage, so long as the total number of single and/or multi-family does not change significantly. This will be reflected in staff's response to the Metropolitan Council's comments letter,.expected,in your officeon.or:cnearNovember 15, 1999; Secondly, staff concurs with your suggestions concerning the link between affordable housing and economic development issues. Staff intends to include clearer strategies for affordable and lifecycle housing now that developments are nearing the schematic plan approval stages south of 195th Street along Pilot Knob Road. Finally, staff would like to reiterate the City's stance on continued non-municipal growth . for areas outside of our City limits. The City Council and staff feel strongly that this type of growth will lead to the premature reliance on municipal services and infrastructure when the non-municipal growth areas cannot handle future growth pressures. This scenario has already occurred in other areas of the.. City, where the City was requested to step in to serve these areas. A lack of standardized infrastructure designs and transportation support systems are but a few of the many planning issues that have already been identified. City staff also indicated that continued non-municipal growth violates the principles of smart growth as articulated by the Metropolitan Council and contributes to premature conversion of agricultural land and urban sprawl. From these remarks it is very important to the City that we be included in the Comprehensive Plan reviews tor Empire Township. We would be grateful if you would notify us of any changes to these plans, receive copies of your review letters and be notified when the Metropolitan Council would be considering action on this proposed plan update. The City appreciates your attentiveness to this fonnal request. In closing, staff would like to thank the Metropolitan Council staff for their interest and look forward to working with your staff during our Comprehensive Plan approval process and on future planning issues.
