m) Preliminary Tanker Truck Inspection - Fire Department
Councilmember Soderberg understood the tanker was ready for inspection and
there were four members going on the inspection. He asked why there were four
people going for the inspection. Fire Chief Kuchera stated there were four people
that went to the factory to inspect the pumper truck. Developing the
specifications for the tanker truck was a very difficult task. This was done over
two years. The bids were rejected the first time as they came in too high. The
goal of the committee was to put together a vehicle that would carry as much
water as it could with the money they had. They were successful in doing this.
Not only is this a tanker, it is also a pumper. It is a vacuum type tank where water
can be removed from various waterways in the townships they serve. Every
committee member would welcome having the truck come here before painting
for inspection, but that will not happen. They expect this truck to be used for 20
years. They need to have the expertise of four people to review the truck. They
are going to the factory only once due to the budget. They have communicated by
phone, fax, and e-mail. The cost of the trip is $1400. The original estimate was
$1000 more. They were able to obtain reduced rates on airfare. Councilmember
Soderberg stated he wanted to be consistent with the number of people going.
MOTION by Fogarty, second by Soderberg approving the preliminary tanker
truck inspection. APIF, MOTION CARRIED. Mayor Ristow noted the four
members are donating their time to go on the inspection.

b) Approve Conditional Use Permit Garvey/Empey Properties - Community
Development
Mr. Colin Garvey and Ms. Judith Empey have applied for a conditional use
permit to begin grading on properties in Castle Rock Township. The properties
are south ofHwy 50 and east ofHwy 3. The annexation process for these
properties has begun. There are several conditions listed with the permit:
1. The CUP will not be effective and no grading shall occur until the entire
annexation process has been completed.
2. The applicant must obtain final City approval of the rough grading plan from
the City Engineer.
3. The applicant must pay any applicable fees and surety in an amount approved
by the Director of Public Works, and comply with any other reasonable
conditions imposed by the Director of Public Works.
4. All excavation and grading activities must be consistent with plans submitted
to and approved by the Director of Public Works.
5. The applicant assumes all risk involved with grading a site before final plat
and street and utility plan approval. Any changes to the grading of a site,
including any corresponding costs necessitated by the resolution of any design
issues identified during the approval process for the final plat and street and utility
construction plans, are the sole responsibility of the applicant.
MOTION by Soderberg, second by Fogarty to close the public hearing. APIF,
MOTION CARRIED. MOTION by Fogarty, second by Soderberg approving
the Conditional Use Permit to allow excavating/grading to begin on the
Garvey/Empey properties with the above conditions. APIF, MOTION

9. AWARD OF CONTRACT
a) Award Rescue Truck - Fire Department
There were four bids received. The committee determined that E-ONE
Manufacturing met and in a number of areas exceeded the bid specs and had the
lowest bid amount. MOTION by Soderberg, second by Fogarty awarding the bid
for the rescue truck to E-ONE Manufacturing. APIF, MOTION CARRIED.
10. PETITIONS, REQUESTS AND COMMUNICATIONS
a) Tamarack Ridge Carriage Homes Solid Waste Inquiry - Administration
There was a request from the management of Tamarack Ridge Carriage Homes to
opt out of solid waste collection. Staff provided a range of options, but
Council Minutes (Regular)
September 20, 2004
Page 4
recommended against opting out of solid waste collection by the City. Council
agreed with staff's recommendation.
b) Consider Maintenance Agreement - Farmington Lanes - Engineering
City Attorney Jamnik stated Council had approved a special installation to allow
angle parking in front of Farmington Lanes. An Encroachment and Maintenance
Agreement has been drafted. The agreement combines the assessment agreement
and waiver ofthe assessment for the improvement and cost of the special
installation at the beginning of the agreement, as well as clarifies under what
conditions the special installation would be removed and the street restored to the
normal design standards. It locks down the assessment, guarantees the payment
of the cost of the special installation in accordance with Council's previous
actions, and specifies there is a maintenance agreement that requires the property
owner to maintain the boulevard area and provides for the City to enter and
maintain it and charge it back to the owner in the eventuality they do not do that.
It will run with the land and future property owners. MOTION by Soderberg,
second by Fogarty to approve the Encroachment and Maintenance Agreement
with Farmington Lanes. APIF, MOTION CARRIED.
c) Approve Change Order Southeast Area Utility Trunk Project - Engineering
This change order would allow for the City to be covered in the case remaining
negotiations with Castle Rock Bank would not be accomplished this fall. Staff
wanted to have this approved in case it is needed. It is not in effect until it is
signed. The cost to the City for remobilization and dewatering costs would be in
the amount of $SO,OOO. The City would then explore options regarding the
acquisition of the property. The change order would require the utilities be done
by June 1, 200S. MOTION by Fogarty, second by Soderberg to approve,
contingent on the failure to reach an agreement with Castle Rock Bank, Change
Order #1 for the Southeast Area Trunk Utility and Pond Improvements in the
amount of$SO,OOO. APIF, MOTION CARRIED.
d) Comprehensive Plan Amendment Regarding Existing and Proposed Park,
Trail and Open Space Plan Map - Parks and Recreation
Staffhas reviewed the map based on MUSA allocations. There have been
additional trails added in the Garvey/Empey properties and also a four-acre park.
In the Devney/Winkler property staff proposes extending the trail around the
periphery of the properties and tie the trails into the prairie waterway and into the
Bristol Square development. A park will be located on both parcels. On the
Murphy property trails are shown around the periphery ofthe property, crossing
through the middle of the development and additional parkland. The final
property is the Cahil1/Rother property. A trail is shown around the periphery of
the property along with a three-acre park. A trail is also shown along the west
side of Denmark Avenue.
City Attorney Jamnik stated this item requires 2/3 vote ofthe entire Council. As
two Councilmembers were absent, the vote on this item had to be tabled to the
Council Minutes (Regular)
September 20, 2004
Page 5
next Council Meeting. MOTION by Fogarty, second by Soderberg to table this
item and item 10f) Approve Thoroughfare Plan to the October 4, 2004 Council
Meeting. APIF, MOTION CARRIED.
e) Amend Section 10-6-4 of the Zoning Code to Include Commercial Vehicle
Parking on Private Property in Residential Districts - Community
Development
Staff has received complaints regarding commercial vehicles parking on private
property in residential districts. There is a class 1 and a class 2 vehicle. The class
1 vehicles are vehicles with a gross vehicle weight rating of more than 18,000 Ibs.
The class 2 vehicles are all vehicles other than class 1 vehicles. Any vehicles
over 18,000 lbs will not be allowed to park any time day or night on a driveway in
a residential district. There is a provision for allowing vehicles performing a
service such as landscaping. This ordinance will give the police the ability to
resolve these complaints.
Councilmember Soderberg asked if 100% opaque for screening has been more
thoroughly defined. He also noted the ordinance stated commercial vehicles shall
not be parked within 150 ft. of a neighboring residential unit. If there is a 2.5 acre
lot, you would have to park the truck in the middle. He felt this eliminates the
provision to park in a 2.5 acre lot. If someone were to build with a minimum
setback of 6-1 0 ft. from the lot line, it could push your requirement to the other
side of the lot and take away your right to park. Staff stated the intention was if
there were special circumstances to allow someone to park their vehicle on their
property if they had a larger lot.
Mr. Elsmer Hoeppner, 27 Walnut Street, stated the parking on the street is the
biggest concern. His neighbor's truck is so high you cannot see over it. He fixes
it and washes it in the street because his driveway is so small. Ifhis neighbor can
still park in the street, he will do that because he does it 90% of the time. The
truck is leased from a company in Lakeville and Mr. Hoeppner feels that is where
the truck should be kept. Staff replied this ordinance would prohibit him from
parking in the driveway, and if they cannot park on the street from 2 a.m. - 5 a.m.
he might find another place to put it.
Mr. Anthony Pena, 18906 Embry Avenue, stated several times a year there are
motorcoaches in town that are fairly big and as it stands now you can get a permit
to park. Will that still be allowed? You can park a semi-tractor trailer if it will
not be there more than 48 hours. Staff replied that falls under the police
ordinance. A vehicle under 15,000 Ibs can apply to the police department ifit is
not to be parked for more than 3 days. The permit can only be issued with the
written consent of adjacent property owners. Police Chief Siebenaler stated that
pertains to on-street parking. This ordinance does not address on-street parking.
Nothing will be changed as far as the authorized police permit. On-street parking
is covered under separate ordinance. This covers parking in the driveway only. If
Council Minutes (Regular)
September 20, 2004
Page 6
it is licensed as a commercial vehicle, it would be restricted from parking on
private property. Most motorhomes are not issued as commercial vehicles.
Mr. David Pritzlaff, 20255 Akin Road, stated unless the on-street ordinance can
be added to this, this will not help Mr. Hoeppner. He suggested adding on-street
parking to this ordinance. Streets are not big enough for semi-parking.
Community Development Director Carroll stated there is a notice issue involved.
The notice did not include on-street parking. That change could be made at a later
time.
MOTION by Soderberg, second by Fogarty to adopt ORDINANCE 004-519
amending Title 10, Chapters 2 and 6 of the Farmington City Code, concerning
off-street parking of commercial vehicles. APIF, MOTION CARRIED.
11. UNFINISHED BUSINESS
a) Great River Energy Power Line Routing Options - Community Development
Great River Energy, Xcel Energy, and others are planning on putting in new
power lines in the FarmingtonlEmpire area. The EQB will have to make the final
decision on the routing permit. There were some alternatives suggested for a
portion of the route. The original proposal from GRE was to come in from the
east and go between the American Legion and the bus garage and continue up
Hwy 3 and across the Rother property. Mr. Rother had the right to submit
alternative routes to the EQB, which he did to see if the line across his property
could be moved elsewhere. Staff proposed running the line along the railroad
right-of-way down to Hwy 3 and then north. Mr. Rother proposed that instead of
going north along Hwy 3, that the line continue to follow the railroad right-of-way
to the west and go through the commercial district. He submitted two different
concept plans. The line would come in from Hwy 3, go along the north line ofthe
Dakota County Lumber Company, go down to Pine Street then across the parking
lot of the Eagles Club, across the railroad tracks, between Pellicci Hardware and
Econo Foods, go into the parkland and cross the river. Great River Energy has
looked at this and decided some components would not work. They discussed
modifying one of Mr. Rother's alternatives. Staff feels there would be a problem
with the portion going through Pellicci Hardware and Econo Foods. Staff was not
certain about Council's position for the portion east of the railroad tracks going to
Hwy3.
Staffhas discussed this with Mr. Dale Aukee, of Great River Energy/Xcel,
whether what has been proposed could be modified. Staff felt there would be less
opposition if it went behind Pellicci' s which would move it along Pine Street, and
avoid the Eagle's Club. Ifit follows Pine Street, to the railroad tracks, it could go
straight west, have a new river crossing and hook up with the other proposal, or it
could cut to the north. The two advantages are option 1 would address a problem
with children coming from the middle school and walking along the railroad
tracks and crossing the river. Staff indicated to Great River if they had to do
some clearing for a line staff asked if they would allow for a trail to be installed
Council Minutes (Regular)
September 20, 2004
Page 7
along the cleared area and a bridge for pedestrian access across the river. They
said a trail could be installed underneath the cleared area. They did not indicate
they would be willing to pay for a bridge, but would be willing to talk about it.
Staff asked Council how they felt about the idea of not going up Hwy 3 and
across the Rother property, and instead going down the railroad alignment,
crossing the railroad tracks and having some sort of connection across the river to
the school district property and then west to Akin Road. Mayor Ristow did not
like it. It takes in more residential and park area. He would like to keep it out of
the residential area. The Rother property is currently farm land and as it is
developed, they could see the power lines are there. Councilmember Soderberg
did not like the southern route and agreed with Mayor Ristow. Councilmember
Fogarty agreed it made sense to put the lines through an area that is not
developed. City Administrator Urbia suggested Great River Energy have a
meeting with affected residents prior to the hearing.
Mr. Dale Aukee, Great River Energy, stated land owners have not been notified at
this point. The application contains a list of alternatives to the original route. On
Friday, the alternative routes will be assessed by the EQB. Their report will have
a feasibility portion and a comment portion. People along the routes will be
notified by a letter from Great River Energy. The alternative routes have been on
the EQB website for two months. The EQB will assess the alternatives and this
will lead to a determination of the route. An Administrative Law Judge will hold
a public hearing. The judge will have 30 days to present the findings and then
make a recommendation based on the findings and the proposed routes. This
recommendation will be given to the EQB. The EQB staffwill then present it to
the EQB board. The City's comment will be taken into account in the final
determination. The right-of-way needed for the line would be 70 ft, 35 ft. on
either side of the line. There is a span of 350-400 ft. between poles.
Councilmember Soderberg stated his preference would be the route up Hwy 3 and
then west through the Rother property and along Akin Road. He did not like
running the line through the commercial area. Staffwill submit a letter to the
EQB preferring the original Great River Energy route as modified by the City
which proposed running the line down the railroad right-of-way to Hwy 3, west
through the Rother property, to Akin Road.
b) Consider Authorizing 20Sth Street to TH3 Feasibility Report - Engineering
The estimated cost for the feasibility report is $27,650 which would be funded
from the Road and Bridge fund. Staff also received a letter from Jerry Rother and
Kay Cahill in support of the feasibility report. Councilmember Soderberg stated
he still has difficulty on going forward with a feasibility study on a property
where the land owners are not sure what they want to do. If they were unanimous
on their decision to come into the City, he would not have a problem. There is
obviously a split between the land owners. This property was included in the
MUSA review. Councilmember Fogarty also wanted to have a unanimous
Council Minutes (Regular)
September 20, 2004
Page 8
decision from the land owners. Staff noted the land owners do not want to make a
decision about annexation until they know what the cost will be and how it will be
shared. After further discussion, Councilmember Fogarty stated she could see
where the information obtained from this study would be useful on many levels.
MOTION by Fogarty, second by Ristow adopting RESOLUTION R75-04
authorizing the preparation of a feasibility report for the extension of 208th Street
to Trunk Highway 3. Councilmember Soderberg stated this would easier if the
land owners were in agreement one way or the other. If the feasibility study is
done and it is time to move forward with the road, will this Council or any other
Council start an aggressive annexation process and eminent domain process to
complete this project. That is another tough question, but that is the direction this
points us. APIF, MOTION CARRIED.
12. NEW BUSINESS
a) Farmington/Castle Rock Joint Planning Board - Community Development

Castle Rock representatives. Castle Rock has designated two of their Town

Community Development Director Carroll and City Engineer. A representative
from the Planning Commission will also be appointed and staff suggested a
Councilmember should also be on the committee. MOTION by Soderberg,

The Tamarack and Meadowview Park Master Plan identifies ballfields being constructed.
Prairieview Park has drainage issues that need to be corrected.
DISCUSSION
As part ofthe development of Tamarack Park, a ballfield is to be constructed. Ballfield
construction includes a new backstop and an ag-lime infield. Staff received a quote from Bryan
Rock in Shakopee in the amount of$4,750.00 for the ag-lime needed to construct the infield.
Staff received a separate quote from Caron Fence in Faribault, Minnesota in the amount of
$4,364.00 for a new backstop and canopy to be installed.
As part ofthe development of Meadowview Park, a ballfield is to be constructed. Ballfield
construction includes a new backstop and an infield that consists only of the base and pitching
areas being cut out and the cut-out areas filled with ag-lime. Caron Fence in Faribault,
Minnesota submitted the low quote in the amount of$3,174.00 for the backstop and canopy to be
installed. Staff completed the infield work by cutting and removing the material and then filling
the base and pitching areas with extra ag-lime it had available from other projects.
Prairieview Park has had some drainage issues around a storm drain that was installed when the
park was constructed. The water currently pools in this area. Additional work needs to be
completed to allow the park to properly drain. ZNR Outdoor Services has submitted a quote in
the amount of $2,700.00 to lower the storm drain, rough grade and finish grade around the storm
drain and seed the disturbed area.
BUDGET IMPACT
The budget estimate for constructing the ballfield and a backstop at Tamarack Park was
$10,000.00. Based on the two quotes received the cost to construct the backstop and ag-lime
infield will be $9,114.00. This is slightly under the budget estimate. The funding for these
improvements will come from the Park Improvement Fund budget.
The budget estimate to complete the ballfield work at Meadowview Park was $3,000.00. The
actual cost was slightly higher at $3,174.00. The funding for this improvement will come from a
Letter of Credit (LaC) for park improvements that the City holds with Newland Communities.
As a result ofthe ag-lime infield work being completed by staff, there was no direct cost to
complete this work.
The funding to complete the drainage improvements at Prairieview Park will come from the Park
Improvement Fund budget.
ACTION REOUESTED
No action is requested. This is for informational purposes only.

Approve the Hiring of a Consultant to Develop Park Master Plans
DATE:
October 4, 2004
INTRODUCTION
A Request for Proposal (RFP) process has been followed to hire a landscape architectural firm
for services related to master planning Vermillion Grove, Middle Creek, Silver Spring and Hill
Dee Parks.
DISCUSSION
The five-year Capital Improvement Plan (CIP) for City parks identified completing park master
plans in 2004 for Vermillion Grove, Middle Creek, Silver Spring and Hill Dee Parks. In order to
facilitate the park master planning process the City Council authorized using an RFP process to
select a consulting firm to assist the City with completing the park master plans. An RFP was
advertised in the Farmington Independent and direct mailed to 12 consulting firms with
landscape architectural services. 8 written proposals were received. Staff and Park and
Recreation Advisory Commission (PRAC) members then reviewed and selected four finalists to
be interviewed. The four firms invited to an interview were as follows: Ingraham and
Associates, Bonestroo Rosene Anderlik & Associates, Hoisington Koegler Group, Inc. and SRF
Consulting Group, Inc. Interviews with these firms were conducted by staff members and two
PRAC members on Monday, September 27,2004.
After reviewing the proposals and completing the interviews, the interview panel is
recommending to the City Council that Hoisington Koegler Group, Inc. be hired to complete
park master plans in late 2004-early 2005 for Vermillion Grove, Middle Creek, Silver Spring and
Hill Dee Parks. Attached to this memo is the proposal that HKGI submitted that outlines the
scope of service that they will be providing to complete the park master plans. In addition, an
Agreement with HKGI has also been included for review and approval by the City Council. The
City Attorney has reviewed the Agreement and has found it to be acceptable. As you can see in
the HKGI proposal and the attached Agreement, it reflects holding several community meetings
to receive input from the public on the design of these four parks.
BUDGET IMPACT
The five-year CIP estimated the cost to develop the master plans for the four parks at
$15,000.00. The proposal submitted from HKGI identifies a cost of$18,160.00 plus a not to
exceed reimbursable of $1,500.00. While this amount is slightly higher than what was shown in
the 5 year CIP, staff feels that this is a reasonable cost based on the range of costs that were
identified in other proposals received. The range in costs for services in the 8 proposals received
was a low of$14,980.00 to a high of $29,580.00.
ACTION REOUESTED
Approve by motion the Agreement with HKGI to develop park master plans for Vermillion
Grove, Middle Creek, Silver Spring and Hill Dee Parks.

SUBJECT: Approve Assessment Methodology and Agreements - Southeast Trunk Utility and
Pond Project
DATE: October 4,2004
INTRODUCTION
Several properties along Trunk Highway 50, east of Trunk Highway 3 have indicated an interest in
coming into the City and connecting to City services as part of and during the above referenced
proj ect.
DISCUSSION
Staffhas drafted an annexation/assessment agreement (attached) and has calculated the lateral benefit
for several properties along TH 3 and TH 50 that could connect to this year's project (see attached
Figure 1 Table 1). The annexation/assessment agreement, if executed by a property owner soon
enough, would allow the service connections to be made in conjunction with the City's construction
and de-watering operation, thus saving the property owner de-watering costs.
BUDGET IMPACT
The total lateral benefit cost for the subject properties was calculated using the same methodology
that was used for the properties west of Trunk Highway 3 for the Ash Street Feasibility Report of
June, 2003. Those identified lateral costs are proposed to be divided on an area basis among the
subject properties shown on Figure 1. The proposed minimum assessment would be equal to the
amount assessed to one (1) Residential Equivalent Unit (REV) as previously determined by the
benefit appraisal and presented in the Ash Street Feasibility Report.
The properties that are currently residential would initially be charged $9750 in lateral charges for
connection to sewer and water service (the total charges are outlined on "Exhibit B" attached). The
remainder of their share of the total lateral costs would be deferred until such time those properties
develop (see Table 1 attached). At the time of development, those property owners would be
responsible to pay for the remainder oftheir share ofthe total lateral costs.

calculation with a minimum rate equal to one (1) RED.
ACTION REQUESTED

presented for properties currently in Castle Rock Township that choose to come into the City and
connect to City services.

2004 Seal Coat Project Assessment Hearing
DATE:
October 4, 2004
INTRODUCTION
The City Council scheduled the 2004 Seal Coat project assessment hearing at the September 7,2004
City Council meeting.
DISCUSSION
The 2004 Seal Coat project is substantially complete. The streets indicated in Attachment A of the
resolution were included in the seal coat program this year. The streets in Autumn Glen 1 st and 2nd
Additions, Charleswood 3rd Addition, East Farmington ih Addition and Tamarack Ridge 1 st and 2nd
Additions are to be seal coated for the first time this year. The streets in Prairie Creek 1 st and 2nd
Additions, Silver Springs 1 st and 2nd Additions, Nelsen Hills 1 st and 2nd Additions, Fair Hills, Pine
Knoll, 213th Street and the Rambling River parking lots were seal coated this year.
All affected property owners have been notified as to the date and time of this public hearing and that
final assessments may be adopted at the public hearing pursuant to M.S. 429.
BUDGET IMPACT
The total project cost for the 2004 Seal Coat project is $140,276.21. At the August 16,2004 Council
meeting, Council directed staff to prepare the assessment roll. The proposed assessment amount for
the 2004 Seal Coat project is $66.67 per buildable lot. The total amount to be assessed to benefiting
properties is $70,138.11. Several streets in the project area have already been assessed for seal
coating costs through their respective development contracts. The City's portion of the project cost is
$70,138.11 and will be funded through the Road and Bridge fund. Engineering staff originally
estimated a cost of $65.44 per residential equivalent unit (reu). The additional $1.23 per reu is due
primarily to increased oil prices since the City of Farmington was added to the Joint Powers
Agreement after the project was originally bid. (The increased costs of $4,462.77 were approved
through a change order at the May 3,2004 Council meeting.)

projects to include in their draft CIP as approved by Council at the June 7, 2004 regular council
meeting (see attached memo). The County's process includes a requirement that cities provide a
resolution requesting that projects be included, before the draft CIP goes to the County Board.
DISCUSSION
Pursuant to our meeting with Dakota County staff and per the June 7, 2004 council memo, the
following projects are identified as candidates for inclusion in the draft County 2005-2009 CIP:
. CR 74, Ash Street, RR Tracks to Trunk Highway 3 - 2005
. CR 64 (l9Sh Street), from Autumn Glen to TH 3 - 2006
. CSAH 50, Division Street to TH 3 - 2005 (preliminary engineering)
. 20tlh Street - 2008
. CSAH 31, CSAH 50 to CSAH 74 -2009
. 19 Sh Street, Flagstaff to Cedar
. Traffic Signals along Pilot Knob Road
. Trails
The City has also received inquiries regarding the addition of a trail along CSAH 31 south of
195th Street. Currently this section of roadway is two-lane, undivided. It is probably unlikely
that the County would participate in a trail project until such time the road is widened to four
lanes.

Page 2 of2
Another trail project possibility is the addition of a trail along the south side of CSAH 50
between Akin and CSAH 31 that would be constructed with the development of the area.
City staff has received a draft copy of Dakota County's 2005 - 2009 CIP plan. Of the projects
identified in the City's draft 2005 - 2009 CIP, only the CSAH 50, from Division Street to TH 3
reconstruction project is included in Dakota County's draft plan. The County has also identified
CSAH 64 (195th Street) from Flagstaff Avenue to CSAH 23 (Cedar Avenue) to be constructed in
2009 per the draft CIP. The City has requested that this project be added to the County CIP in the
past as a "future project", to be scheduled beyond the year 2009. Council may want to consider
adding this project to the City's CIP since the City would share in the cost of the construction of this
roadway per county policy.
BUDGET IMPACT
It is currently the County's policy that the costs of the roadway improvements are split 55% County
and 45% City. City financial participation in the projects identified is yet to be determined but would
likely include a combination of funding mechanisms that would be identified in individual project
feasibility reports.
ACTION REQUESTED
Adopt the attached resolution requesting inclusion of construction projects in the Dakota County
2005-2009 CIP.
Respectfully Submitted,

FROM: Lee M. Mann, P.E., Director of Public Works/City Engineer
SUBJECT: Dakota County 2005 - 2009 CIP - City Requests
DATE: June 7, 2004
INTRODUCTION
Dakota County is in the process of preparing their 2005-2009 Capital Improvement Program. (see the
attached letter and schedule) City staff has previously met with the County to discuss potential
projects to include in their draft CIP.
DISCUSSION
Pursuant to our meeting with Dakota County staff, the following projects are identified as candidates
for inclusion in the draft County 2005-2009 CIP:
CR 74, Ash Street, RR Tracks to Trunk Highway 3 - 2005
It has been indicated by County staffthat this project will be funded in 2005.
CR 64 (195th Street), from Autumn Glen to TH 3 - 2006
CR 64 (195th Street) from Autumn Glen to Trunk Highway 3 has been identified by the City and the
County as an arterial east-west corridor in Farmington and through the County. Based on the timing
of the development of the Seed/Genstar property, the roadway may be needed as early as 2006.
CSAH 31, CSAH 50 to CSAH 74 - 2006?
This project is included based on the development interest and master planning efforts south of
CSAH 50 adjacent to the alignment of the southerly extension of CSAH 31.
CSAH 50, Division Street to TH 3 - 2005 (preliminary engineering)
The preliminary engineering for this project is currently scheduled in 2005. It was indicated to the
County that the construction of the project be scheduled as soon after 2005 as possible, realizing that
the timing is dependent on Tumback funds.
20th Street
The concept of the County participating in the construction costs of City streets that support or
relieve parallel County Roads has been discussed with the County. The extension of 208th Street to
TH 3 would provide a significant, positive impact on Elm Street (CSAH 50) from a traffic standpoint.
Therefore, it is requested that the County adopt a policy based on this concept and program funding
for the extension of208th street from its current easterly terminus to TH 3.
,
19th Street, Flagstaff to Cedar
The City Council in the past has requested that the extension of 19Sth Street to Cedar be programmed.
The County is currently commencing a study to determine the alignment of 19Sth Street between
Flagstaff and Cedar.
Traffic Signals along Pilot Knob Road
The County continues to monitor the intersections along Pilot Knob Road and program traffic signals
as warrants are met.
Trails
The City has also received inquiries regarding the addition of a trail along CSAH 31 south of 19Sth
Street. Currently this section of roadway is two-lane, undivided. It is probably unlikely that the
County would participate in a trail project until such time the road is widened to four lanes.
Another trail project possibility is the addition of a trail along the south side of CSAH SO between
Akin and CSAH 31 that would be constructed with the development ofthe area.
BUDGET IMPACT
It is currently the County's policy that the costs of the roadway improvements are split 55% County
and 4S% City. City financial participation in the projects identified is yet to be determined but would
likely include a combination of funding mechanisms that would be identified in individual project
feasibility reports.
ACTION REQUESTED
For information and discussion. Projects identified to be forwarded to Dakota County for
consideration for inclusion in their 200S-2008 draft CIP.
Respectfully Submitted,
Lee M. Mann, P .E.,
Director of Public Works/City Engineer

SUBJECT:
Zoning Code Text Amendments for Title 10 Chapter 6 Section 27:
Erosion Control
DATE:
October 4, 2004
INTRODUCTION
The City of Farmington is proposing to revise Title 10 Chapter 6 of the City Code to establish
erosion control measures.
DISCUSSION
Currently, the City Code mandates erosion control during the initial construction process, but
does not regulate erosion-causing situations that arise after a home or business is constructed.
These situations are typically caused by landscaping projects or other property improvements
that remove vegetation, thereby causing sediment to be carried onto public rights-of-way and/or
adjacent properties.
The attached ordinance is similar to those used by other Cities in the Metro area. It includes
acceptable types of erosion control measures, it establishes a time period after which exposed
soil must be covered, and it requires that sediment carried onto City streets and/or adjacent
property be removed daily.
Planning Commission Review
The Planning Commission reviewed the proposed ordinance at its meeting on September 28,
2004 and unanimously recommended approval.
ACTION REQUESTED
Approve the attached ordinance regarding erosion control.
Respectfully Submitted,
q~()L
Jim Atkinson
Assistant City Planner
ORDINANCE NO.
CITY OF FARMINGTON
DAKOTA COUNTY, MINNESOTA
AN ORDINANCE AMENDING TITLE 10, CHAPTER 6
OF THE FARMINGTON CITY CODE REQUIRING PROPERTY OWNERS AND
CONTRACTORS TO IMPLEMENT EROSION CONTROL MEASURES WHEN
LANDSCAPING, EXCAVATING, OR FILLING.
THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF FARMINGTON ORDAINS:
SECTION 1. Title 10, Chapter 6 ofthe Farmington City Code is amended by adding a
new Section 27 to read as follows:
10-6-27: EROSION CONTROL REQUIRED:
(A) A property owner or contractor who removes substantial vegetative growth for any
reason including landscaping, excavates for a building foundation or other purpose, or
adds soil or other fill on property within the city shall adhere to erosion control measure
standards and specifications contained in the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency
publication "Protecting Water Quality in Urban Areas", as may be amended, the City of
Farmington Comprehensive Plan and official controls, and any applicable water
management plan ofthe City or other governmental units. Except as other measures are
required by the above documents and plans, property owners and contractors shall take
the necessary precautions, outlined below, to prevent soil erosion, damage to adjacent
property and control of surface water runoff. The City may impose additional erosion
control requirements if, in the opinion of the Director of Public Works or designee, said
measures are necessary to protect adjacent properties and manage surface water runoff.
1. No land shall be developed and no use shall be permitted that results in water
runoff causing flooding, erosion, or deposit of sediment on adjacent properties.
Such runoff shall be properly channeled into a storm drain, watercourse, ponding
area, or other public facilities subject to the review and approval of the Director of
Public Works or designee. Appropriate erosion control measures shall be taken
throughout the construction process. They include but are not necessarily limited
to the use of erosion control fences, wood fiber blankets, rock construction
entrances, seeding and/or mulch. Other techniques or combinations of the above
may be used. The erosion control measures shall be maintained and repaired
throughout construction and until such time as the property has been either sodded
or a seeded vegetative cover has taken hold. All temporary erosion control
devices including silt fence, gravel, hay bales or other measures shall be removed
from the construction site and properly disposed of or recycled. This removal and
disposal must occur within thirty (30) days of the establishment of permanent
vegetative cover on the disturbed area.
2. Proposed erosion control measures may be approved by the Director of Public
Works, or designee, as part of site plan, landscaping or grading plan reviews.
Erosion control may be specified by the Director of Public Works, or designee, as
part of a site survey for individual building permits or other city approvals.
Erosion control measures may also be specified by the Director of Public Works,
or designee, as needed and deemed appropriate during the construction and post-
construction periods for permitted or unpermitted activities separate from the
above.
3. No dirt piles or spoil banks shall remain exposed without a protective cover to
prevent erosion for a period longer than 7 days. No soil surface shall remain
exposed without seeding, if allowed, or sodding or by mulching or covering or
other equivalent control measure for a period longer than 7 days. Seed shall be a
blend of rye grass or other fast germinating seed in addition to perennial grasses
suitable for the soil and the exposure of the area to sunlight. All seeded areas shall
be mulched and disc anchored, or covered with a Minnesota Department of
Transportation approved fiber blanket, as necessary for erosion protection and
seed retention. The Contractor should recognize that time is of the essence in
controlling erosion
4. Mud, dirt, or other sediment carried onto city streets, trails or adjacent
properties from the building site shall be removed by the property owner or
contractor prior to the close of each work day. If cleanup of the mud, dirt or other
sediment is not carried out as required above, the Director of Public Works, or
designee, may direct City crews and/or contract a third party to complete the clean
up and bill the property owner or contractor for all associated costs, or deduct
these amounts from any required bond or security. Unpaid charges will be
certified by the City for collection with taxes and no city license, permit, or other
approval shall be issued for the property while any charge is outstanding.
5. Failure to comply with any of the above requirements will result in the issuance
of a Stop Work Order halting construction until the project area is brought into
compliance. Failure to remedy the situation within a reasonable time determined
by the Director of Public Works or designee will result in the issuance of a
citation for violation ofthis subdivision. Failure to have erosion control measures
in place may also result in denial of a certificate of occupancy for the structure
under construction.
SECTION 2. This ordinance shall be effective immediately upon its passage.

RE:
Comprehensive Plan Amendment Regarding Existing and Proposed Park, Trail and
Open Space Plan Map
DATE:
October 4, 2004
INTRODUCTION
The City of Farmington amended its Comprehensive Plan earlier in 2004 related to the map identifying
existing and proposed parks, trails and open space. At that time the Existing Parks, Trails and Open
Space Map was amended as a new map titled Existing and Proposed Park, Trail and Open Space Plan
Map (Plan Map). The main difference between the two maps was that the new Plan Map addressed the
location and size of future parks and the future location of trails and open space.
DISCUSSION
The City of Farmington recently undertook a Metropolitan Urban Service Area (MUSA) review
process that examined, analyzed and in the end recommended properties to be given MUSA. This
MUSA designation in turn allows development to occur on these properties should the property owner
so desire and in some situations ifthe land is annexed into the City. The City Council at its August 16,
2004 meeting approved MUSA designation for the properties that were recommended by the MUSA
Review Committee and Planning Commission.
Four properties currently located outside ofthe City's boundary were given MUSA. In order to keep
current with potential future development on properties that were granted MUSA but are currently
located outside the City boundary, Park and Recreation Department staff and the Park and Recreation
Advisory Commission (PRAC) at its August 2004 meeting reviewed the Plan Map for identification of
future trails and parks on these properties. The amended Plan Map (Exhibit A) submitted with this
memo indicates new trails and parks that are being identified on the four properties that are currently
outside the City boundaries but have been granted MUSA. The four properties on the amended Plan
Map that new trail and park locations have been shown include the following (identified by last name
of property owner): Garvey, Empey, CahilllRother and Murphy(now owned by Tim Giles
Construction). Since these properties are either going through the annexation process or still need to
be annexed into the City it seems to make sense to identify park and trail locations in the City's
Comprehensive Plan as soon as possible and preferably before annexation occurs.
In addition to identifying new parks and trails on properties outside ofthe City boundary that received
MUSA, staff and PRAC members would also like to amend the location of a park and some trails
within the City's boundary. The first location is the Winkler and Devney properties located to the east
of the East Farmington development. The amended Plan Map identifies the park area being moved
more to the northeast from where the current Plan Map identifies it. Trails have also been expanded
around the perimeter of both properties that will connect back to the existing trail in the Prairie
Waterway and future trail in the Bristol Square Development. Additional trails are shown in the area
south of the Winkler and Devney properties and just east of the Prairie Waterway.
The other recommended amendment to be made to the Plan Map concerns adding a trail on the west
side of Denmark Avenue. This trail alignment is being recommended so that it matches the trail
alignment identified in the Spruce Street Area Master Plan.
The Planning Commission held a public hearing on the Plan Map amendments at its September 15,
2004 meeting and is recommending that the City Council approve the amendments that have been
identified in this memo.
ACTION REQUESTED
By resolution approve the amendments identified for future park and trail locations to the Existing and
Proposed Park, Trails and Open Space Plan Map.

SUBJECT:
Thoroughfare Plan Amendment for the Area East of Akin Road
DATE:
October 4, 2004
INTRODUCTION
The City's current Thoroughfare Plan does not show any collector or arterial roadways in the area east of
Akin Road, south of 19Sth Street, north of 20Sth Street, and west of Trunk Highway 3. Residential
development within this area appears to be imminent, so modifications of the Thoroughfare Plan should
be considered at this time. [This matter was continued from the September 20, 2004 City Council
meeting. ]
DISCUSSION
The City's Comprehensive Plan includes a Thoroughfare Plan (attached hereto as Exhibit A) that
identifies future roadways throughout the City. The Plan is an important component of the City's overall
planning process. Ideally, the locations of future local and regional roadways and transportation corridors
should be determined before plats for new residential or commercial developments are submitted,
reviewed or approved.
The current Thoroughfare Plan does not include any future roads in the general area east of Akin Road,
south of 19Sth Street, west of Trunk Highway 3, and north of20gth Street. Based on the number of MUS A
applications and "Letters of Interest" that the City has received for properties located within this area, and
in light of the fact that the Council has actually approved MUSA for several such properties, the City
anticipates that development in the area will begin soon and will continue for many years. This
anticipated development has accelerated the need to amend the Thoroughfare Plan to include future roads
in the area prior to the finalization of development concept plans and the approval of preliminary plats.
An initial draft of a proposed Thoroughfare Plan Amendment (attached hereto as Exhibit B) was
discussed at a public hearing that was conducted at the July 13th Planning Commission meeting. A
number of Akin Road property owners and other interested parties commented on the proposed Plan at
that time. Many of them were concerned that the three proposed east-west connections (19Sth Street,
203rd Street, and Devonport Drive) between Akin Road and the new development area to the east would
funnel new and higher traffic volumes onto Akin Road. Questions were also raised regarding the
necessity and/or safety of the proposed 19Sth Street connection.
Given the number of questions that were raised at the July 13th Planning Commission meeting, the
Commission continued the public hearing until August 10, 2004 in order to receive further input from
affected property owners, City staff and the City's traffic engineer. The traffic engineer, however, was
unavailable for the August 10, 2004 Planning Commission meeting, so the public hearing was continued
to September IS, 2004.
At the September ISth Planning Commission meeting, City staff introduced and discussed a "second
draft" of the proposed Thoroughfare Plan amendments (attached hereto as Exhibit C). This draft will be
explained in more detail at the September 20th City Council meeting, but the major features of this revised
draft are as follows:
1. The east-west connection to Akin Road at 198th Street that was initially proposed has been
eliminated (as a collector).
2. A major north/south collector has been proposed for the area between Akin Road on the south
Gust north of the bridge near 208th Street) and 19Sth Street on the north. This roadway would
be designed and built in a way that would make it more "attractive" (for current and future
drivers) than Akin Road. The features that would help accomplish this objective would
include:
a. No driveway accesses on the new north/south road (by comparison there are currently at
least 48 driveway accesses onto Akin Road between 20Sth Street and 19Sth Street; see
attached Exhibit D).
b. Fewer (and safer) intersections on the new north/south road than there are on Akin Road.
c. A straight and relatively level north/south alignment for the new north/south road (as
opposed to the curved and elevation changes on Akin Road).
d. A creation of new intersections in the vicinity of Devonport Road. Traffic proceeding
northbound on Akin Road from CSAH SO and/or 208th Street would be routed directly
onto the new north/south road. Drivers who wanted to stay on Akin Road at that point
would be required to turn left onto Devonport and then right onto Akin Road. Staff
believes that the need to make these turning movements would prompt most northbound
drivers to remain on the new road, thereby reducing traffic volumes on Akin Road. This
traffic concept would also involve closing Akin Road just south of its intersection with
Devonport drive, to avoid a dangerous "Y" intersection where the new north/south road
intersects with Akin Road. This closure could also reduce the volume of southbound
traffic on Akin Road between 19Sth Street and Devonshire Drive, because drivers might be
more inclined to use 19Sth Street and/or the new 203rd Street extension to "cut over" to the
new north/south road in order to have a "straight shot" south to CSAH SO.
3. Thoroughfare revisions for certain areas north of 19Sth Street have been added. The new
north/south route referred to above is on the same alignment as a planned southerly extension
of Diamond Path Road, which currently ends at a "T" intersection at 160th Street (County
Road 46) on the Rosemount/Lakeville border. Lakeville intends to extent this road to at least
170th Street, and potentially to the 179th/180th Street area along the Lakeville/Farmington
border. A further extension of Diamond Path Road through the Seed/Genstar area would bring
it to a point on 19Sth Street where it would "meet up" with the north end of the new north/south
route referred to in the preceding paragraph. The eventual result would be a new, major
north/south regional corridor mid-way between (and parallel to) Pilot Knob Road and Trunk
Highway 3.
The members of the public who spoke at the Planning Commission meeting on September ISth expressed
strong support for the latest draft of the proposed Thoroughfare Plan amendment, and the Planning
Commission voted unanimously to recommend that the City Council approve the proposed amendment.
ACTION REQUESTED
Motion to approve the proposed Thoroughfare Plan amendment.

Dear Jim,
The purpose of this letter is to let you, the City of Farmington, and the Farmington
Planning Commission know that I am not opposed to the proposed plan to extend 203rd
Street through and/or next to my property-as long as I am properly compensated for
what I think is fair value when I sell my property. My family and I are not opposed to
development of the Babe Murphy property. (Giles Properties) and Manly Land
Development property rarkview Ponds) if I am compensated for my property for what I
think is fair value. 203r street is proposed to go through or next to my property. The
Babe Murphy property and Manley Land Development properties are adjacent to my 10
acre property at 20218 Akin road.
My neighbor Wade Wiebold at 20226 Akin Road is directly affected by the plan to
extend 203rd Street through his property and he has shared with me he is also not opposed
to this, as long as he can sell his property for what he thinks is a fair value. Wade
Wiebold also indicated he is not opposed to the development of nearby properties as long
as he is paid what he thinks is a fair price for his property when he sells it. Please feel
free to contact me if you have further questions or concerns on these matters.
Respectfully yours,
W. Brian Herzfeld

To the Planning Commission,
My name is Erick Wefel and I live at 20210 Akin Rd. Farmington, and I have a question
about the gravel road easement that is just south of my property. I'm wondering what if
anything is going to happen to this road when 203rd St. goes thru. Is there going to be any
joining of the two roads, might it be shut off from Akin Rd., might the City purchase the
easement and make it a City St. Another question I have is, what is the speed limit going
to be on 203rd St. I understand that 203rd is going Minor Collector and my experience
living on Akin Rd for the past 6 years the police for some reason have a hard time
enforcing the speed limit. I personally would like to see 203rd St. at 30 mph. And now
with more traffic, traffic lights that are going to be coming on to Akin Rd. I would like
the City to take a look at dropping the speed limit on Akin to 30-35mph just because of
more traffic and that everyone now goes at least 5-1 Omph over the limit because there's
really not much enforcement, this way they'll be going 40-45mph, which was the goal
when it was dropped to 45mph.I have seen the revised Thoroughfare Plan Amendments
and would just like to say that this is much, much better then the first. I'm in total favor
of the North-South Rd. This I believe is very important to have. I really like the idea of
the Restricted Access on to Akin, again wonderful idea. For the most part I'm in total
favor of the revised plan and think this road system will benefit everyone. Thank you for
taking the time to read this and hopefully this plan will go forward.
