10. Petitions, Requests and Communications
a) Preliminary and Final Plat-Pellicci Addition
Planning Manager Wippler presented a preliminary and final plat request from Mark Pellicci at
1309 Birch Court.
The Pellicci Addition is a re-plat of Lot 6, Block 2 East Farmington Fourth Addition and Outlot A
East Farmington Tenth Addition. Mr. Pellicci purchased Outlot A from the East Farmington
Home Owners Association and is looking to combine the outlot with his existing home site that
is adjacent. The proposed re-plat removes the notation of outlot (i.e., non-buildable lot) from
the property and combines the two parcels into one buildable lot (Lot 1, Block 1 Pellicci
Addition). Mr. Pellicci is looking to expand his existing attached garage and the proposed
addition would extend into the outlot, thereby necessitating the need to re-plat the
properties.
Location of Property: 1309 Birch Court
Area Bounded by: Single-family residences to the north, west, and south. The Prairie
Waterway is adjacent to the east.
Existing Zoning: R-2 (Low/Medium Density Residential) and is part of the East Farmington
Planned Unit Development.
Surrounding Zoning: Adjacent properties to the north, west and south are zoned R-2 PUD. The
Prairie Waterway, adjacent to the east, is zoned Park/Open Space.
November 19, 2018 Minutes -3 -
Existing Conditions: The plat area consists of two parcels of land (Outlot A, East Farmington
Tenth Addition and Lot 6, Block 2 East Farmington Fourth Addition). Outlot A is currently a
vacant parcel, Lot 6, Block 2 East Farmington Fourth Addition is the home site of Mr. Pellicci.
Drainage and Utility Easements
Existing drainage and utility easements within the re-plat area that were dedicated as part of
the East Farmington Fourth and Tenth additions will have to be vacated prior to recording the
Pellicci Addition plat with Dakota County. Mr. Pellicci has applied for the vacation of those
easements and a public hearing has been scheduled for the December 3, 2018 City Council
meeting.
With the vacation of easements mentioned above, the proposed Preliminary and Final Plat for
Pellicci Addition will have to dedicate new easements. The easements shown on the attached
Preliminary and Final Plat are acceptable to the city.
Planning Commission Review
The Planning Commission reviewed the Preliminary and Final Plat at its meeting on November
13, 2018 and voted 3-0 to recommend approval of the Pellicci Addition plat.
Motion by Bernhjelm, second by Craig,to adopt Resolution R52-2018 approving the preliminary
and final plat for the Pellicci Addition contingent upon:
1. All drainage and utility easements dedicated on Outlot A East Farmington Tenth
Addition and Lot 6, Block 2 East Farmington Fourth Addition be vacated prior to
recording of the Pellicci Addition R-Plat.
APIF, motion carried.
b) Comprehensive Plan Amendments and Rezoning of the Property Located at 6020 195th
Street West
Mayor Larson requested that this item be moved to the December 3, 2018 city council meeting
due to a super majority of the city council being required to act on comprehensive plan
amendments.
Motion by Bernhjelm, second by Craig, to continue this item to the December 3, 2018 city
