DISCUSSION Staff was recently contacted by a prospective business owner looking for available space/land within our Community. Their business would be classified as a Light Manufacturing Facility. One area that was considered was the Farmington Business Park, which is generally located off of State Highway 50 and Canton Court(see attached map). The Business Park consists of eight(8) lots, two (2) of which contain Farmington Mini Storage and Q3 Contracting. The development is zoned B-3 (Heavy Business) and currently does not allow for Light Manufacturing Facilities. The B-3 zone does however allow for Manufacturing Facilities (a more intense use) as a conditional use. Logically then, it is reasonable that if Manufacturing Facilities are allowed in the B-3 zone, albeit conditionally, that Light Manufacturing Facilities be allowed in the same zone. With this amendment staff is recommending that Light Manufacturing Facilities be allowed in the B-3 zone as a permitted use. The definitions for Light Manufacturing and Manufacturing Facilities are as follows: LIGHT MANUFACTURING: The processing and fabrication of certain materials and products where no process involved will produce noise, vibration, air pollution, fire hazard or noxious emission which will disturb or endanger neighboring properties. MANUFACTURING FACILITIES: Facilities used for the manufacture, compounding, processing, packaging, treatment or assembly of products and materials that may or may not emit objectionable and offensive influences beyond the lot on which the use is located. Such uses include, but are not limited to: sawmills, refineries, commercial feedlots; acid; cement; explosives; flour, feed, and grain milling or storage; meatpacking and slaughter houses; coal or tar asphalt distillation; rendering of fat, grease, lard or tallow; alcoholic beverages;poisons; exterminating agents; glue or size; lime; gypsum; plaster of paris; tanneries; automobile parts; paper and paper products; glass chemicals, crude oil and petroleum products including storage; electric power generation facilities; vinegar works;junkyard; auto reduction yard; foundry forge; casting metal products; rock, stone, cement products; lumberyards; machine shops; products assembly; sheet metal shops; plastics; electronics; general nonalcoholic beverages; signs and displays; printing;publishing; fabricated metal parts; appliances; clothing; textiles and used auto parts. The amendment, if a positive recommendation is made, will go to the City Council for adoption on November 17, 2014. ACTION REQUESTED Recommend approval of the attached ordinance amending Section 10-5-15 of the City Code to allow Light Manufacturing Facilities as a permitted use in the B-3 Zoning District and forward that recommendation on to the City Council.

City of Farmington 430 Third Street Farmington, Minnesota 651.280.6800 - Fax 651.280.6899 4.,., .+� www.ci.farmington.mn.us A� TO: Planning Commission FROM: Tony Wippler, Planning Manager SUBJECT: Dawson Meadows (Mystic Meadows) discussion DATE: November 12, 2014 INTRODUCTION Richard Braun,the owner of the remaining 24 townhome lots within the Mystic Meadows Subdivision(Dawson Meadows)is requesting that the Planning Commission preliminarily review and comment on a proposal for the development of those remaining 24 lots. Mr.Braun has been working with the Dawson Meadows Home Owners Association(HOA)over the last several months to come to an agreeable solution to develop the remaining lots in a way that is more marketable than a standard townhome development,yet not detract from the existing townhomes. DISCUSSION The Dawson Meadows Townhomes are located in the northeast corner of the Mystic Meadows Subdivision(see attached location map). This area consists of 8.48 acres of land(including private roads)and currently has 16 constructed townhomes(see attached aerial map). This area is zoned R-3 which allows for the construction of townhomes and twin homes. Mr.Braun will likely be making an application for a Planned Unit Development(PUD)in the coming months in an attempt to allow for flexibility in the types of units that can be constructed in this development. On November 6,2014 Mr.Braun and the HOA agreed to general terms on an alternate development plan for the remaining undeveloped lots(see attached correspondence from HOA). That proposal includes the construction of up to 16 detached single-family homes and 4 twin home units on the existing lots without replatting the lots. A PUD,if approved by the Planning Commission and City Council,could allow for the construction of single-family dwellings on the existing lots,which are substandard in size for single-family dwellings. The remaining lots range from 3,800 square feet in size with a lot width of 40 feet to 4,312 square feet with a lot width of 44 feet(see attached plat map). It should be noted that if Mr.Braun decides to proceed with a PUD application a site layout will be required along with engineering information including,but not limited to,grading and utilities. Setbacks and lot coverage would be discussed once the site layout and application have been submitted and would be addressed as necessary through a PUD Agreement. Mr.Braun will be in attendance at Tuesday's meeting to discuss the proposal(specifically the possibility of allowing single-family dwellings in this area through a PUD)and to solicit feedback from the Commission prior to making a formal application for a Planned Unit Development. ACTION REQUESTED Discuss and provide feedback or comments to Mr.Braun regarding the possible PUD.

At that time you also stated that your plan(single detached units) would require, from the City of Farmington, an acceptance of 100% (16 votes) of the Association's Homeowners. The following is a recap of your proposal: • Your proposal is to build single detached homes on the West side of Dawson Lane. This will encompass 4 lots with 4 units per lot for a total of 16 single detached units. On the East side of Dawson Lane you will build on the 2 open lots either 2 duplex units or a duplex with a single unit on each side. You will not have 4 single units on one lot. Please note that if market conditions allow, the homeowners would prefer that the building configuration on these 2 lots contain 2 duplexes and no single units. • It is your intent to have a selling price point around $275,000 with an unfinished basement for the less valuable lots up to the potential of$400,000 plus for the single units on the walkout lots. • Each unit, whether a single or duplex unit will be Ranch Style and not a 2 story design. Exterior material used will be of the same appearance and quality of pre- existing homes including decks. All decks may not vary from the approved design without written approval from the Architectural Control Committee (ACC) and be completed prior to closing. • As part of your proposal, you identified 2 to 3 locations where additional parking can be captured. You agree to work with the ACC to insure that additional parking is part of the project development. • You will provide your building design to the ACC for review. The design shall include plans for exterior landscaping, including driveways, sidewalks, retaining walls if any, and plantings. The ACC must approve the exterior design of the building to include roofline, Elevation and landscaping. These designs must be consistent with the Elevations presented at the October Board Meetings. Once a design has been approved, any changes to the exterior of the building will require the approval of the ACC. Any approval needed from the ACC will be timely and not unreasonably withheld. Richard Braun November 7, 2014 Page 2 • You will provide for the ACC's approval, each unit exterior attributes including but not limited to color(including roof, siding, windows and doors), garage door, light fixtures, brick/rock, rain gutters/down spouts, siding and mail boxes. Once approval has been given, any change will require the approval of the ACC. • The sale price of each unit will include a budgeted amount adequate for the completion of driveways, sidewalks, and landscaping (including retaining walls, a proportionate contribution to irrigation, sod and plantings). Each Unit, at the time of closing will have all exterior improvements completed including adjoining Associations community land for these items. Landscaping will be consistent with amount and appearance of existing Associations landscaping with the exception of mulch. All non-sod areas will need to be rock. Because the Association has a master plan for landscaping, you will need to work with the ACC for choice of plants. If at the time of closing, any of the aforementioned items are not complete, a fund equal to the pre-determined budget amount will be set aside in escrow at the title company until the work is completed. Richard, if you will agree to each of the points in this document, please sign below and also obtain the signature of Dave May (as the builder). This will serve as verification of your consent. The next step will be to solicit from the homeowner their individual votes. I would like to include a signed copy of this statement in the material presented to the homeowners.
