Fax 651.463.2591 www.ci.farmington.mn.us TO: Planning Commission Lee Smick, AICP J Q/ City Planner ~ FROM: SUBJECT: Variance to 5-foot Setback for Parking Areas Applicant: Francis Valek 607 Oak Street Farmington, MN 55024 DATE: June 10, 2008 INTRODUCTION The applicant, Francis Valek, is seeking a variance (Exhibit A) from Section 10-6-4 (M) of the City Code to encroach into the 5-foot wide setback for hard surfaced driveways in residential areas. Mr. Valek's property at 607 Oak Street currently has an existing gravel driveway that is located directly on the westerly property line. DISCUSSION In September of 1994, Oak Street was reconstructed. The project included the installation of new sanitary and storm sewer lines, along with updated sidewalks, driveways, and street lighting. The City installed a sidewalk and driveway apron at all properties within the project area, including 607 Oak Street (Exhibit B). A driveway apron was installed by the City directly on the westerly property line at Mr. Valek's residence. The apron was installed at 12 feet in width and 30 feet in length from the curb to the property line. Mr. Valek currently has a gravel surface from the City-installed driveway apron which he utilizes as his existing driveway. Mr. Valek would like to upgrade his existing gravel driveway with a concrete driveway that will extend onto his property by approximately 28 feet in length. He would also like to continue the concrete paving from the driveway to the rear of his house by 31 feet to provide a patio on the west side of his house (Exhibit C). The driveway and patio would be installed directly on the westerly property line of 607 Oak Street. The patio is not considered a structure and no easements exist on this lot, thereby allowing the patio to be located directly on the westerly property line. Mr. Valek is requesting to encroach into the 5-foot setback for a concrete driveway to be installed directly on his westerly property line because of the following City Code requirement: . . . 10-6-4 (M)Parking In Residential Areas: All vehicles shall be parked on a hard surface driveway or parking apron. All parking areas shall maintain a five foot (5') setback from side and rear lot lines. (Ord. 002-469, 2-19-2002) The City Code provides the following criteria that must be met for a variance to be approved: 1. Because the particular physical surroundings, or the shape, configuration, topography, or other conditions of the specific parcel of land involved, strict adherence to the regulations of this Title would cause undue hardship. Economic consideration alone shall not constitute an undue hardship if reasonable use for the property exists under the terms of this Title. The driveway apron installed by the City during the Oak Street Reconstruction project in 1994 was located directly on the westerly property line of 607 Oak Street causing a hardship. 2. The conditions upon which a variance is based are unique to the parcel of land for which the variance is sought and are not applicable, generally, to other properties within the same zoning classification. Not all of the properties in this area are upgrading their driveways from gravel to concrete. 3. The alleged difficulty or hardship is caused 'by this Title and has not been created by any person presently having an interest in the parcel of land. The hardship of the existing location of the concrete apron was not created by the applicant. 4. The granting of the variance will not alter the essential character of the locality or be injurious to other property in the vicinity in which the parcel of land is located or substantially diminish property values. The variance will not alter the essential character of the locality or be injurious to other property in the vicinity. 5. The proposed variance will not substantially increase the congestion of the public streets, or increase the danger of fire, or be detrimental to the public welfare or public safety. The variance would not create any of the above-mentioned adverse effects. 6. The requested variance is the minimum action required to eliminate the hardship. . . . The driveway apron installed by the City during the Oak Street Reconstruction project in 1994 was located directly on the westerly property line of 607 Oak Street and is the minimum action required in order to eliminate the hardship. Staff will be discussing similar situations concerning existing gravel driveways on property lines within the downtown district at this meeting under "Discussions". ACTION REOUESTED Approve the 5- foot wide variance request to allow a concrete driveway to be located directly on the westerly property line at 607 Oak Street.

Fax 651.463,2591 www.ci.farmington.mn.us TO: Planning Commission 1\ Lee Smick, AICP ,-Ji,f( City Planner 6 \) FROM: SUBJECT: Allina Medical Addition Preliminary and Final Plat DATE: June 10, 2008 INTRODUCTION Allina Hospitals & Clinics has submitted a preliminary and final plat that would create two (2) commercial lots east of TH 3 and north of 213th Street (Exhibits A, B & C). The 3.59 acre property to be split is zoned B-1 (Highway Business) and is planned for commercial uses. DISCUSSION Anna's Bananas Daycare (Lot 1) is proposed for the north lot and Allina Medical Clinic (Lot 2) is proposed to be located on the south lot. Lot 1 will contain 1.34 acres and Lot 2 will contain 2.25 acres. The site plan for the 13,468 square-foot Allina Medical Clinic was approved by the Planning Commission on February 12, 2008 (Exhibit D) and the site plan/CUPNariance was approved for the 14,036 square-foot Anna's Bananas Daycare by the Planning Commission on May 13,2008 (Exhibit E). Access to both proposed uses will be from 9th Street. Drainage and Utility Easements The applicant is proposing to plat the property to not only split the lot into two lots, but to also plat the required drainage and utility easements. An easement at approximately 45 feet in width is proposed along the north and west sides of Lot 1 and some of Lot 2 on the west. An additional 20-foot wide easement is proposed on the west central side of Lot 2. Finally, 10-foot wide easements are proposed along the remainder of the property lines, except at the common property line which shows 5 feet on either side. Park Dedication Park dedication is not required for this property since it was taken when the Giles Commercial Addition was platted. . . . Engineering The City Engineer has reviewed the plat and recommends approval of the preliminary and final plat. ACTION REOUESTED Recommend approval of the Allina Medical Addition Preliminary & Final Plat contingent upon the following requirements and forward the recommendation to the City Council: 1. The satisfaction of any engineering and planning comments. ~tlUllX4 Lee Smick, AICP City Planner cc: Allina Hospitals & Clincs . . .

Plannine: Division Review Applicant: Property Owner: Location of Property: Legal Description: Surrounding Land Uses: Existing Zoning: Comprehensive Plan: Current & Proposed Land Use: The River Church P.O. Box 214 Farmington, MN 55024 Paul Otten 311 Oak Street Farmington, MN 55024 408 3rd Street (former Dueber's building) Farmington, MN 55024 Lot 1, Block 19 and East 1 foot of North 90 feet of Lot 2, Block 19 Town of Farmington Commercial and/or public uses completely surround this property. B-2 (Downtown Business) Commercial The building consists of approximately 10,000 square feet of leasable space. Current tenants of th~ building include American Family Insurance (approx. 1,200 sf) and My Eyes My Heart Scrap booking (approx. 3,000 sf). The . . . proposed church will occupy approximately 5,800 square feet of the building. DISCUSSION According to the City Code, Churches are conditionally allowed in the B-2 (Downtown Business) Zoning District. The Code provides the following criteria that must be met in order for the Planning Commission to approve a conditional use permit: 1. The proposed use conforms to the district permitted and conditional use provisions and all general regulations of this title. A church is a conditional use in the B-2 Zoning District. 2. The proposed use shall not involve any element or cause any conditions that may be dangerous, injurious or noxious to any other property or persons and shall comply with the applicable performance standards. The proposed use will not involve any elements that may be dangerous, inJurIOus or noxious to any other person or property and it does comply with all applicable performance standards. 3. The proposed use shall be constructed, designed, sited, oriented and landscaped to produce a harmonious relationship of buildings and grounds to adjacent buildings and properties. The proposed use will occupy a portion of an existing building. Therefore, this requirement is non applicable in this instance. 4. The proposed use shall produce a total visual impression and environment which is consistent with the environment of the neighborhood. Again, the proposed use is to occupy a portion of an existing building in the downtown. The use will not affect the visual impression and environment of the downtown neighborhood 5. The proposed use shall organize vehicular access and parking to mlillmlze traffic congestion in the neighborhood. The B-2 zoning district does not have requirements for offstreet parking. Existing on- street parking as well as nearby public parkingfacilities will be utilized 6. The proposed use shall preserve the objectives of this title and shall be consistent with the comprehensive plan. The proposed use is consistent with the City's comprehensive plan, . Staff believes that the proposed church use meets all of the aforementioned criteria. . . Proposed Use - Church The River Church has requested a conditional use permit in order to operate a church in the B-2 Zoning District. The church has a congregation of approximately 100 people and would like to hold service on Sunday mornings from lOam - II am out of the southern most portion of the building formerly known as Dueber's. The address of the building where the church is proposed to be located is 408 3rd Street. The church would like to occupy approximately 5,800 square feet of vacant space in the building. The applicant has also indicated that the space would also be utilized on Wednesday nights for youth group activities. In addition, the applicant is proposing some office space in this portion of the building for daily church operations. Per Section 10-6-4 of the City Code, the B-2 (Downtown Business) Zoning District does not require off-street parking stallsllots be provided. There is on-street parking adjacent to the building both on 3rd and Oak Streets. In addition, the second street parking lot is located one block west. All of these parking areaslspaces could potentially be utilized as parking for the church. ACTION REOUESTED Approve the Conditional Use Permit contingent upon the following: 1. The applicant obtain all necessary building permits for conversion of space to a church 2. A sign permit shall be required for any signage to be placed on site.

Fax 651.463.2591 www.ci.farmington.mn.us TO: Planning Commission FROM: Lee Smick, AICP City Planner SUBJECT: Cell Tower Discussion DATE: June 10, 2008 INTRODUCTIONIDISCUSSION The Parks Director, Randy Distad, has recently been approached by T-Mobile requesting to locate a cell tower in the Tamarack Park. Mr. Distad presented the request to the Parks & Recreation Advisory Commission on May 14, 2008 and the Commission was generally in support of this proposal. Planning staff has researched the issue and determined that towers are only allowed in the A-lor 1-1 zoning districts and a text amendment would be required if towers were to be installed in the PIOS district. Planning staff also reviewed the existing tower ordinance and determined that an update to it would be beneficial since new technology in tower construction may eliminate the need for such large fall zones as required in Farmington's existing code. Additionally, by allowing towers to be located in PIOS zoning districts the Park's Improvement Fund may be subsidized through a monthly fee from the tower company. Attached is a survey of park revenue that has been received by communities that allow cell towers in city parks (Exhibit A). Representatives from T-Mobile will be on hand to answer any questions concerning the new technologies in the construction of towers and any other concerns that the Planning Commissioners might question. I have attached an analysis of the Farmington Tower Ordinance along with the ordinances from Maple Grove, Eden Prairie, Plymouth, and Lakeville that was compiled by T -Mobile (Exhibit B). As illustrated by this information, the communities listed allow towers in park areas. . . . ACTION REOUESTED Discuss the possibility of towers being located in the P/OS district and direct staff to further research the topic and/or prepare an ordinance. Resp.. e.
