PLANNING COMMISSION
REGULAR
NOVEMBER 14, 1989
1. CALL TO ORDER 7:00 P.M.
2. APPROVE MINUTES OCTOBER 24, 1989
3. REVIEW STATUS OF WILLYS MINNEAPOLIS AND EAGLE TRUCKING
Staff will report on progress of both in following the previous decisions
of the Zoning Board of Adjustment /Planning Commission.
4. DISCUSSION MEETING ATTENDANCE
This is an opportunity for Commission members to respond to the earlier
staff memo with the objective of achieving more participation.
5. REVIEW STATUS OF COMPREHENSIVE PLAN AMENDMENT
The material discussed earlier by the Commission relating to an update of
the Comprehensive Plan has been reviewed by the Metropolitan Council staff
and no serious arguments came to the surface. Farmington staff had planned
to wait until the entire Comprehensive Plan had been revised to submit an
amendment, but because it took so long for our informal review, needs of
local developers will be better served if a partial amendment is forwarded
this year. One developer is Jack Benedict who has an approved PUD for 80
acres in Dakota County Estates. The easternmost 20 acres of the PUD is
not within the Urban Service Area Boundary. It should be added now due to
the way in which streets are designed within the PUD and the current lack
of interest in multiple family housing and commercial areas that are in-
cluded in the urban service area. The material presented in the Comprehensive
Plan narrative outlines the service this plat provides by making housing
available at the lower end of the housing market.
The second developer will be the Farmington HRA which has decided to create
an industrial park between Northern Natural Gas and Duo Plastics, Inc. The
preliminary plat will include areas outside the Urban Service Area but the
first phase of development will be confined to the Urban Service Area. The
plan amendment will allow contiguous development to occur without any long
term dead end streets. This is a matter of encouraging looped utility lines
and a minimum of maintenance on stub streets.
The attached information submission for Comprehensive Plan amendments will
be put together with several multiple check lists and mailed to adjoining
communities plus the School District after receiving conditional approval
by the City Council. Staff will have maps at the meeting to better identify
the property involved.
6. DISCUSSION CODE ENFORCEMENT SIGN AND ZONING ORDINANCE
Enclosed is a separate memorandum covering a variety of enforcement problems.
Staff would like some feedback on reasonable follow up action.

7. DISCUSSION PROPOSED AMENDMENT TO SIGN ORDINANCE
Enclosed is another copy of the original proposal in case it is needed.
8. DISCUSSION FORMAL VARIANCE COUNTY ROAD SPACING
The Plat Commission has recommended against Farmington staff's proposal for
two access roads into Section 13 along County 31. A formal variance pro-
cedure is being mailed and will be available for discussion at the meeting.
