ADJOURN Planning Commission TO: FROM: Tony Wippler, Assistant City Planner City of Farmington 430 Third Street Farmington, Minnesota 651.280.6800 Fax 651.280.6899 www.ci.farmington mn us SUBJECT: An amendment to Section 4 -5 -5 (Residential Performance Standards) of the City Code to address property maintenance DATE: September 10, 2013 INTRODUCTION DISCUSSION Staff and the Planning Commission have been working on developing a property maintenance ordinance over the last several months. The Commission reviewed a version of the ordinance at its regular meeting on August 13 and was generally comfortable with the ordinance that had been drafted. The Commission did ask that staff include verbiage in the ordinance to deal with the percentage of roofing material missing that would trigger a structure to be in non compliance. That verbiage has been added to the draft ordinance that is attached to this memorandum and is highlighted in yellow. Staff had set the public hearing for this ordinance amendment in anticipation of taking the draft ordinance to the City Council on September 3, 2013 for discussion and to ensure Council by -in on the ordinance prior to holding the public hearing. However, the discussion with City Council will not occur until September 16 so the public hearing will have to be continued to the October 8, 2013 Planning Commission regular meeting. ACTION REQUESTED Continue the public hearing to the October 8, 2013 regular Planning Commission meeting.

This topic was briefly discussed at the August 13 regular Planning Commission meeting. Staff is suggesting amending the IP Zoning Code to allow Recycling facilities as a conditional use. The City has been approached by a company that has interest in purchasing a building within the City's Industrial Park in order to relocate its business operations to Farmington. The business is a recycling facility for such things as lights, ballasts, and various electronic items. Recycling facilities are currently only allowed in the I -1 (Industrial District) as a conditional use. I have provided you with the definition of a recycling facility below: RECYCLING FACILITY: A building used for the collection and processing of recyclable materials. Processing does not include end use manufacturing. The collection and processing of recyclable materials includes the preparation of material for efficient shipment or end users' specifications, by such means as baling, briquetting, compacting, flattening, grinding, crushing, mechanical sorting and shredding. It should be noted that the Commission at its regular meeting in August during the previous discussion agreed that the change is reasonable. The amendment, if a positive recommendation is made, will go to the City Council for adoption on September 16, 2013. ACTION REQUESTED Recommend approval of the attached ordinance amending Section 10 -5 -21 of the City Code to allow Recycling facilities as a conditional use in the IP (Industrial Park) Zoning District and forward that recommendation on to the City Council.

By: Todd Larson, Mayor By: David McKnight, City Administrator By: City Attorney Published in the Farmington Independent the day of 2013. City of Farmington 430 Third Street Farmington, Minnesota 651.280.6800 Fax 651.280.6899 www.ci.farmington.mn.us TO: Planning Commission FROM: Lee Smick, AICP CNU -A City Planner SUBJECT: Steal Siding Downtown Design Standards discussion Premier Bank DATE: September 10, 2013 INTRODUCTION DISCUSSION The City has received a request for the Planning Commission to review an exterior building material within the Downtown Commercial Overlay District that is not permitted in the current design standards. In particular, the owners of Premier Bank at 316 Oak Street would like to renovate their building's exterior by resurfacing it from a concrete block material (Ex. A) to steel siding. The steel siding proposal is not an allowable material in the Downtown Commercial Overlay District Design Standards as shown in Section 10 -6 -28 as follows: 10 -6 -28: DOWNTOWN COMMERCIAL OVERLAY DISTRICT DESIGN STANDARDS: (E) Building Material and Design: 1. In the case of new construction, renovations, or additions, seventy percent (70 or more of the total surface area of exterior walls exposed to public view shall consist of a mixture of two (2) or more of the predominant downtown finish materials (clay, brick, stucco, natural stone, ornamental concrete; except for portions of exterior walls not visible from the public viewshed). Extruded metal storefront framing may be used only on window or door frames. 4. Exterior walls shall not be covered with metal panels, EIFS (exterior insulation and finish system), vinyl siding, faux half timbering, Togs, shakes, shingles, exposed aggregate, or poured in place concrete. Staff would like to discuss with the Planning. Commission the merits of including steel siding as a permitted material in the Downtown Design Standards. Hardie Board lap siding was recently installed on the Pizza Man building (Ex. B). As you know, this type of material includes concrete, which is an allowable use in the Downtown Design Standards and therefore, was permitted to be installed on the Pizza Man building. The owners of the Premier Bank building have researched the feasibility of using hardie board as an exterior, but have been told by a number of construction contractors that hardie board is not as durable as steel. The owners would like the Commissioners to review a sample of the steel siding at the meeting and determine if this is a suitable material for the Downtown Commercial Overlay District. RECOMMENDATION Review the steel siding material and determine if it is a suitable material in the Downtown Commercial Overlay District. Respectfu ly submitt Lee Smick, AICP, CNU -A City Planner Q c
