SUBJECT:
Application to Amend Comprehensive Plan from Non-designated to Industrial and
Rezone property from A-I (Agriculture) to I-I (Light Industrial) - 21054 Chippendale
Court
DATE:
February 14,2006
INTRODUCTION
Patrick Regan, POR-MKR Real Estate, has submitted an application to amend the Comprehensive Plan from
Undesignated to Industrial and rezone the property located at 21054 Chippendale Court from A-l
(Agriculture) to I-l (Light Industrial). The property is located south of the American Legion and Hometown
Subdivision and north of Dakota Storage (Exhibit A).
DISCUSSION
History of the Property - 21054 Chippendale Court
This property was platted as part of the Empire Liberty Addition in February 2003, at a time when the property
was in Empire Township. The property is legally described as Lot 1, Block One (1), Empire Liberty Addition.
A Joint Resolution approving the annexation of this property was approved by the State's Municipal Boundary
Adjustment Unit on June 9, 2005. Section 10-4-3 of the City Code stipulates that any property that is annexed
into the City is initially classified with an A-I (Agriculture) zoning designation. The property was utilized as
the base of operations for the Marschall Bus Line Company, until the company relocated to the Farmington
Industrial Park this past summer. The property is not on the MUSA Phasing Plan that was adopted by the City
Council in late 2004. The MUSA Review Committee will have to be reconvened and a recommendation to the
City Council will have to be made as to the appropriateness of allocating MUSA to this property. The next
meeting of the MUSA Review Committee is scheduled for February 16,2006.
Surrounding Development
A majority of the surrounding properties are zoned B-1 (Highway Business), including the American Legion to
the north, the car wash, Dairy Queen and Dakota Lumber to the west, and the vacant parcel of land to the south
(on the northeast comer of Trunk Highway 3 and 213th Street). In addition, the only residential property on
Chippendale Court that is currently in the City is also zoned B-1. Dakota Storage/Marigold is the only
property located on the east side of Highway 3 that is currently zoned I-I.
Intended U see s)
The property owner, Patrick Regan, has indicated that he has entered into a ten year lease agreement with
Mobile Mini Storage. Mobile Mini would supply mobile storage units, mobile offices, and trailers from this
.
.
.
location to the Twin Cities metro area. In addition, they would also perform repair and maintenance on the
aforementioned items from this location. It is proposed that Mobile Mini will occupy two of the three
buildings on site.
Staff Recommendation
Due to the residential development that is anticipated to the north and east (Hometown and Sunrise Ponds,
respectively) of this property, and taking into account the property's proximity to Trunk Highway 3 and the
number of current and future commercial properties in the vicinity, the staff consensus is that a Commercial
Comprehensive Plan designation and a B-1 (Highway Business) zoning classification would be more
appropriate for the subject property. It is important to note that a B-1 zoning classification would in no way
prohibit the applicant from pursuing Mobile Mini Storage as a tenant for this property. Staff has determined
that this particular use would be classified as a "storage yard", which would be allowed as a Conditional Use
in a B-1 zoning district. Staff has addressed this preferred zoning with Mr. Regan by phone and through
correspondence (see attached letter dated February 7,2006). A copy ofMr. Regan's response dated February
10, 2006 has been attached.
Staff has identified the 210th Street Extension from Cambodia Avenue to Trunk Highway 3 as crucial for any
future development on the east side of TH 3, between County Road 66 on the north and Highway 50 on the
south. The initial extension of 210th Street will be from Cambodia Avenue westerly to the Prairie Waterway,
which is located just to the east of the subject property. This initial extension is proposed to be constructed
with the development of the adjacent Perkins property. The last remaining section ofland needed to make the
connection between TH 3 and Cambodia Avenue is the former railroad right-of-way that is now part of the
Regan property. The City Council has indicated its belief that the roadway connection in question is needed.
City staff members have discussed this need with Mr. Regan, and will continue to work with him and the City
Council to achieve this objective.
ACTION REQUESTED
1. Deny the requests for a Comprehensive Plan designation of Industrial and Rezone to I-I (Light
Industrial) for the property located at 21054 Chippendale Court.
2. Recommend a Comprehensive Plan designation of Commercial and Rezone the property from A-I
(Agriculture) to B-1 (Highway Business).

Mr. Patrick Regan
919 Vermillion Street
Hastings, MN 55033
RE: Zoning and Comprehensive Plan Designation for 21054 Chippendale Court
Dear Mr. Regan:
.
The purpose ofthis letter is to help clarify zoning and comprehensive plan issues related to the
property located at 21054 Chippendale Court (formally the Marschall Bus Garage property). This
property officially became a part ofthe City of Farmington on June 9, 2005. According to Section
10-4-3 of the City Code, any property that is annexed into the City is initially classified with an A-I
(Agricultural) zoning designation. This zoning designation (A-I) remains until a rezoning ofthe
property to a more appropriate classification has been applied for by the property owner and
subsequently granted by the City Council. No comprehensive plan designation is given to a newly
annexed parcel of land until such a time as a comprehensive plan amendment has been requested by
the property owner and then approved by the City Council. I also want to make you aware that a
Conditional Use Permit may be required depending on the proposed use of the property (once
correctly zoned).
In summary, the property located at 21054 Chippendale Court is currently zoned A-I, Agricultural,
and has a no comprehensive plan designation. For your consideration I have enclosed a rezoning
application. The fees associated with an application for rezoning and comprehensive plan
amendment are as follows:
Rezoning: $300
Comprehensive Plan Amendment: $350
The fees mentioned above are due at the time of submitting an application/request for a rezoning and
comprehensive plan amendment. The next two Planning Commission meetings are December 13th
and January lOt. In order to be placed on either agenda a petition for rezoning and comprehensive
plan amendment would need to be received by City staff three weeks in advance of the scheduled
Planning Commission meeting.
.
As you are aware, the property in question is not currently located within the Metropolitan Urban
Service Area (MUSA). City policy provides an expedited review and approval process for MUSA
applications involving parcels that are 5 acres or less in size. Essentially, it allows City staff to
review a petition for MUSA and then provide a recommendation directly to the City Council
(bypassing the MUSA Review Committee) for approval ofMUSA. Given the fact the parcel in
.
.
.
question is over 5 acres in size, the City's MUSA Review Committee will have to reconvene to make
a recommendation to the City Council regarding any proposed allocation of MUSA for your property.
If, however, the net developable acreage is reduced to 5 acres or less (through, for example, the
dedication of right-of-way for public roadway), the MUSA Review Committee steps in the process
can be eliminated.
If you anticipate that you will eventually want or need City sanitary sewer service for your property,
please send us a letter requesting that the City Council ask the Metropolitan Council to include your
property within the Metropolitan Urban Service Area. We will then determine when your request can
be considered by the City's MUSA Review Committee. The remaining steps in the process would be
as follows:
1. Planning Commission reviews and comments on the MUSA Review Committee's
recommendation.
2. City Council reviews and takes action on the MUSA Review Committee's recommendation.
3. Metropolitan Council takes action on the City Council's request for MUSA.
The steps outlined above typically take at least 90 days to complete, so we encourage you to submit
your written MUSA request well in advance of the date by which you will want or need to provide
sewer service to your property.
Finally, inasmuch as you apparently indicated to Kevin Carroll and Lee Mann on November 7,2005
that you intend to seek an industrial zoning classification for your property, I have attached relevant
portions of the City Code provisions regarding the I-I zoning category. We encourage you to pay
special attention to the enclosed sections of code that address permitted and conditional uses, off
street parking and loading, screening, and landscaping.
If you have any questions regarding the information presented in this letter, please do not hesitate to
contact me at (651) 463-1822.
Sincerely,
Tony Wippler, Assistant City Planner

Patrick O. Regan
POR-MKR Real Estate, LLC
Hastings, MN 55033
RE: Proposed Comprehensive Plan Designation and Zoning
Dear Mr. Regan:
Thank you for your applications for a Comprehensive Plan amendment and for the rezoning of the former
Marschall Bus Line garage property located at 2l 054 Chippendale Court. In your applications you expressed
a desire for an Industrial Comprehensive Plan designation and an 1-1 (Light Industrial) zoning classification.
Accordingly, this is what was reflected in the public hearing notices that were both published in the local paper
and sent to the various property owners located within 350 feet of your property.
Since your submittal, City staff members have had additional internal discussions regarding the highest and
best use of not only your property, but also the neighboring residential properties. There is a clear staff
consensus that the small pocket of residential properties located directly between your property and Trunk
Highway 3 will ultimately be more suited for commercial uses than for residential or industrial uses. The high
visibility of the site, which is a plus for commercial operations, is a detriment for residential uses and is
unnecessary for most industrial uses. The same can be said for the relatively high (and ever-escalating) traffic
volumes on Highway 3. If or when the owners of the Chippendale Court residential properties petition for
annexation, City staff members will probably recommend that the City Council adopt a Commercial
Comprehensive Plan designation and a B-1 (Highway Business) zoning classification for the properties in
question. Most of the nearby City parcels are already zoned B-1, including those located to the north (the
American Legion), the west (the car wash, Dairy Queen and lumber yard), and the south (the vacant Giles
property located to the west of the Glenview Townhomes). The only Chippendale Court residential property
that is currently in the City is also currently zoned B-l.
The only property located east of Highway 3 that is currently zoned I-I is the Dakota Storage/Marigold
property. The issue that your application has presented is whether it is more sensible and appropriate to (1)
expand the industrial uses in that vicinity by also giving your property an industrial classification or (2) give
your property a non-industrial zoning classification that is more consistent with the current and anticipated
uses of the majority of the other nearby properties. In light of the residential construction that is anticipated to
take place in the near future to the immediate north and east of your property, and your property's proximity to
Highway 3 and a number of current and future B-l properties, the staff consensus is that a Commercial
Comprehensive Plan designation and a B-1 (Highway Business) zoning classification would be the most
appropriate for your property.
A B-1 zoning classification would not prohibit you from using your property for the Mobile Mini Storage
business that has been proposed. The staff position is, and will be, that the Mobile Mini Storage business fits
within a "supply yard" classification or definition. A supply yard is allowable in a B-1 zoning district as a
conditional use. City staff members are prepared to recommend that the Planning Commission approve a
conditional use permit for the Mobile Mini Storage business, subject to whatever conditions the Planning
.
.
.
Commission members consider relevant. We anticipate that they will be primarily interested in topics such as
parking/loading and related traffic circulation issues, screening, and landscaping - which will have to be
addressed regardless of the zoning classification that is ultimately assigned to the property, and which I
mentioned in my prior letter to you dated November 17,2005 (copy attached).
If you agree that the recommended Commercial Comprehensive Plan designation and the B-1 zoning
classification are appropriate and/or acceptable, you can indicate that fact by mailing, faxing (65l-463-l611)
or e-mailing a short letter to that effect, which we will consider an amendment to your original applications.
We would need to receive your letter or e-mail by 10:00 a.m. on Friday, February 9,2006 in order to include it
in the Planning Commission packet for the meeting on February 14. If we receive such a letter, your amended
application will be presented to the Planning Commission with a staff recommendation for approval.
If you still wish to pursue an Industrial Comprehensive Plan designation and 1-1 zoning, you certainly have
the right to do so, but we wanted to let you know in advance that the staff recommendation to the Planning
Commission will be to adopt a Commercial Comprehensive Plan designation and a B-1 zoning classification.
Ifthe Commission does so, you can immediately apply for a conditional use permit (CUP), and we'll schedule
a public hearing on the CUP for the next Planning Commission meeting on March 14, 2006. As noted above,
City staff will recommend approval of the CUP.
If you have any questions or comments regarding this matter, please do not hesitate to contact me at (65l) 463-
1822.
Sincerely,
Tony Wippler, Assistant City Planner

Mr. Tony Wippler
Assistant City Planner
City of Farmington
325 Oak Street
Farmington, MN 55024
Dear Mr. Wippler:
.
This letter is in response to your letter of February 7, 2006, where you
indicate Farmington City Staff is prepared to recommend approval of our
rezoning application for 21054 Chippendale Court to Commercial B-1 instead of
Industrial 1-1, as was requested in my Application dated January 13, 2006. My
application was predicated on the historic and anticipated future use of this
property. It was also based upon my understanding, after many meetings and
discussions with City staff. Furthermore, it was based upon the earlier official
proceedings at the Planning Commission and City Council related to my request
for, and approval of, annexation of this property into Farmington.
While I am disappointed in the time delay apparently caused by your most
recent recommendation, I am generally agreeable to your suggestion with the
following specific stipulations:
1. Any Conditional Use Permit conditions be based only on the currently
applicable conditions for property use in 1-1 Zoning Districts.
2. City of Farmington immediately take whatever actions are necessary to
grant MUSA designation to the property.
3. Any Conditional Use Permit is to remain in effect until Property Owner
should choose to request a change in the use from its historic and
anticipated use as Industrial in nature.
4. These Zoning, Comprehensive Plan Designation, and Conditional Use
Proceedings in no way are to be related to or conditioned upon the
City's apparent desire to affect a Taking of a portion of this property for
use as a Public Roadway.
We continue to be excited about the new businesses we have attracted to this
site and to our other properties in Farmington. We look forward to the swift
approval of these Zoning and Comprehensive Plan proceedings, and to the
further development of this property.

SUBJECT:
Sunrise Ponds Preliminary Plat
Comprehensive Plan Amendment and Rezone
DATE:
February 14, 2006
INTRODUCTIONIDISCUSSION
Neal Krzyzaniak of Bridgeland Development Company is requesting a Comprehensive Plan
Amendment, Rezone, and Preliminary Plat review for the property generally located east of Trunk
Highway 3, west of Cambodia Avenue and north of Bristol Square. The proposal consists of 110
single-family "Villa Units" on 17.09 acres (Exhibit A). The development has not significantly
changed since the Planning Commission last reviewed the concept plan in November 8, 2005.
Annexation
The property has yet to be annexed into the City of Farmington. The City Council approved a Joint
Annexation Resolution on February 6, 2006. Empire Township considered the Joint Resolution on
January 24 and approved it "in concept", subject to (a) review by the Township's attorney and (b)
clarification of certain ownership and maintenance issues related to Cambodia Avenue, which
borders Sunrise Ponds on the east. Staff is prepared to recommend approval of the Comprehensive
Plan Amendment and Rezone with the contingency that the annexation process for this property be
completed and a PUD Agreement be approved by the Planning Commission.
MUSA
At this time the property is not identified on the City's adopted MUSA Phasing Plan. The MUSA
Review Committee will have to be reconvened and a recommendation to the City Council will have
to be made as to the appropriateness of allocating MUSA to this property. The next meeting of the
MUSA Review Committee is scheduled for February 16, 2006.
Comprehensive Plan
The property does not currently have a Comprehensive Plan designation. Based on the proposed land
use by the developer and adjacent land use to the south of the property, the Low/Medium Density
designation would be appropriate for the Perkins property. Therefore, the developer requests to
amend the 2020 Comprehensive Plan from Non-Designated to Low/Medium Density Residential.
.
.
.
Zoning
As mentioned earlier, the property is not within the municipal boundary of the City of Farmington.
Upon the anticipated annexation of the property, the property will be automatically zoned A-I
(Agriculture) per the following Code requirement:
10-4-3: ANNEXATION AND DESIGNATION OF LAND:
(A) Land areas which may be added to the city by annexation, merger or other means shall be
classified A-1 agriculture until such time that the city council may rezone the added territory
to more appropriate classifications. (Ord. 002-469, 2-19-2002)
The developer is requesting a Planned Unit Development (PUD) classification with an underlying R-
2 (Low/Medium Density Residential) zoning classification. The developer is in the process of
developing a PUD Agreement that will address how the development will vary from the zoning
requirements specified within the R-2 zoning code. In addition, specific design standards need to be
submitted and ultimately adopted with the PUD Agreement to address architectural and aesthetic
issues related to the proposed development. Staff is recommending that the Comprehensive Plan and
Rezone be contingent on the annexation of the property as well as the eventual completion of a PUD
Agreement and design standards that are acceptable to the Planning Commission.
Sunrise Ponds Preliminary Plat
As shown on the plat (Exhibit A), the developer proposes one hundred and ten (110) single-family
residential lots on 17.09 acres of land with a gross density of 6.44 units per acre. The plat consists of
detached single-family lots with lot widths ranging from thirty-six (36') to forty-six (46') feet. The
proposed lot areas range from 3,240 square feet to 10,478 square feet in size. The setbacks for the
development are proposed at twenty (20') in the front, and six (6') feet in the side and rear yards.
Inasmuch as the property widths as well as many the lot areas do not meet the minimum requirements
of sixty (60') and 6,000 square feet, respectively, the property has to be platted as a PUD. In order to
proceed with the Preliminary Plat, a PUD Agreement and specific design standards need to be
submitted so that they can be reviewed and considered in conjunction with the Preliminary Plat.
These items have yet to be submitted in a form acceptable to staff, but work is currently in progress
on both items.
The development is located adjacent to one existing roadway - Cambodia Avenue. The plat shows a
westerly extension of 21 oth Street through the northern portion of the site. The traffic generated by
the development of this site will utilize, at least temporaril~, Cambodia Avenue and 213th Street for
access to and from Trunk Highway 3. However, the 210t Street connection to Highway 3 is also
needed for Sunrise Ponds and for the future development of the east side of Farmington. Once this
initial extension is provided through the Sunrise Ponds plat, the last remaining section of land needed
to make the connection between Highway and Cambodia A venue will be the former railroad property
that is now a part of the Regan property located to the west. The developer of Sunrise Ponds will be
expected to participate in the cost of acquiring and improving this remaining portion of 21 Oth Street.
.
Cambodia Avenue, with the exception of a portion in the northeast comer of the plat, is not within the
plat boundary. The City is requiring the developer to upgrade and extended Cambodia north with this
project. The majority of Cambodia Avenue that lies outside the platted area is owned by Empire
Township. Issues regarding to the future maintenance of this portion of Cambodia Avenue are
currently under discussion with Township representatives. In addition, the issue of whether the right-
of-way for Cambodia A venue should be annexed into the City prior to the platting of Sunrise Ponds
is also being discussed. The only other portion of Cambodia Avenue affecting this plat that is outside
the plat boundary and not owned by Empire Township is located on the Krall property. The
developer will either have to purchase the area in fee needed for the additional right-of-way and then
dedicate it to the City on the plat, or, provide a permanent easement to the City for public road, trail,
drainage and utility purposes.
Parks and Trails
Randy Distad, Parks & Recreation Director, has submitted recommendations for parks, trails, and
sidewalks for the development. These recommendations are attached as Exhibit B.
Engineering
The Engineering Division has reviewed the preliminary plat and has determined that the information
submitted is incomplete. Additional information needs to be submitted regarding easements, utilities,
and grading. Therefore, staff is recommending that the preliminary plat be continued.
. ACTION REQUESTED
1. Recommend approval of the 2020 Comprehensive plan Amendment designating the property
from Non-Designated to Low/Medium Density contingent upon the annexation of the
property and approval of the PUD Agreement.
2. Recommend approval of the rezoning of the property from A-I (Agriculture) to PUD with an
underlying R-2 (Low/Medium Density Residential) zoning classification contingent upon the
annexation of the property and the approval of the PUD Agreement.
3. Continue the Sunrise Ponds Preliminary Plat to the next scheduled Planning Commission
meeting, and provide comments (if desired) on park and trail issues or other aspects of the
Preliminary Plat.

RE:
Staff Comments on Sunrise Ponds Preliminary Plat
DATE:
February 8, 2006
BACKGROUND
Staff has reviewed the Sunrise Ponds Preliminary Plat (Preliminary Plat).
DISCUSSION
There is one comment to be made by staff related to trails and sidewalks in the Preliminary Plat and it is as
follows:
I. The trails located along the ponds are okay as long as they stay within the benched areas of the ponds and not
on the pond slopes.
In regards to creating a park in the development, there appeared to be an interest by the Planning Commission
and City Council to have some park land dedicated in the development. The Preliminary Plat shows park land
in the development. The Park and Recreation Advisory Commission has reviewed the need for a park in this
development and would prefer to take cash in lieu of park land based on Tamarack Park being located within a
half mile of the development, which is the standard that the PRAC has followed in the past when determining
locations of parks. However, PRAC has commented that they are okay with the park area on the southwest part
of the development as long as it remains a private park and is maintained by the development. The comment
that staff would like to make regarding the private park is as follows:
I. It is recommended that the developer create an additional amenity of a small tot lot and locate it adjacent to
the gazebo in the event that a home in the development is purchased by a family with young children or
grandchildren.
RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends that the preliminary plat be approved with a small tot lot being shown to be built adjacent to
the gazebo, the developer being given partial credit towards their overall park dedication requirement for the
private park they are dedicating and that the remaining park land dedication that is required for the development
be taken as cash in lieu of land.

SUBJECT:
Variance to the Minimum Lot Area Requirements in the B-2 Zoning District
Applicant: Mr. Hosmer Brown
5050 France Avenue South
Edina, MN 55410
DATE:
February 14, 2006
INTRODUCTION
The applicant, Hosmer Brown, is seeking a variance (Exhibit A) from Section 10-5-14 of the City Code
(Exhibit B) to the minimum lot area in the B-2 Zoning District for the property at 209 Oak Street known
as the Riste building (Exhibit C & D). The variance of 3,200 square feet from the code requirements is
being requested.
DISCUSSION
The City of Farmington's Economic Development Authority (EDA) is preparing to purchase the Riste
building from Mr. Brown. The Riste building currently straddles a shared property line between Lots 3 &
4 of Block 22, Town of Farmington plat (Exhibit E). The plat is dated December 19, 1864 and shows that
the original configuration of the downtown oriented lots north and south with a majority of the lot lengths
at l70 feet and lot widths at 60 feet.
The EDA recently had the Riste building surveyed in order to prepare for the building purchase (Exhibit
F). As shown on the survey, the Riste building straddles a shared property line between Lots 3 & 4 on
Block 22. Therefore, the Riste building encompasses 2 parcels. Because of minor boundary issues
disclosed by the survey, Mr. Brown and the EDA have agreed to split off the "flag" portion of the
easternmost half of Parcel 2 (the part that extends to the east and overlaps the west line of the Gerster
building - Exhibit G).
As shown on the attached dimension map (Exhibit H), the west portion of Parcel 2 encompasses l,890
square feet and the east portion of Parcel 2 encompasses 2,200 square feet. The "flag" portion of the east
lot encompasses 400 square feet. In the B-2 Zoning District requirements, the minimum lot area is 5,000
square feet, therefore, Mr. Brown is requesting a variance for 3,200 square feet from this requirement
since the east portion of Parcel 2 would encompass only 1,800 square feet upon the splitting off of the
"flag" portion of the lot at 400 square feet.
The intention of the EDA once the Riste building is purchased is to combine the east and west portions of
Parcel 2 into a total parcel area of 3,690 square feet, thereby increasing the total parcel area of the
nonconforming parcels, thus decreasing the nonconformity. Additionally, it is intended that the "flag"
.
.
.
portion be combined with the Larson parcel, also increasing the total parcel area of the nonconforming
parcels, thus decreasing the nonconformity.
The dimension map (Exhibit F) shows a majority of the lots within the B-2 Zoning District less than the
required minimum of 5,000 square feet. The B-2 District also requires a 50-foot minimum lot width,
which again, rules out a majority of the lots in the downtown business district. Therefore, a majority of
lots in this area are considered legal non-conforming. Because of this information, staff is preparing a
text amendment to the minimum lot area and width in the near future in order to make a majority of the
lots conforming. However, because of the impending purchase of the Riste building, staff will not have
the text amendment completed before the transaction occurs. Therefore, Mr. Brown is requesting a
variance to the minimum lot area within the B-2 Zoning District of 3,200 square feet.
The City Code provides the following criteria that must be met for a variance to be approved:
I. 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.
A majority of the parcel areas on Block 22, and for that matter, the parcel areas along 3rd
Street on Block 23, do not meet the B-2 District's requirement of 5,000 square-foot minimum
lot area. Strict adherence to the regulations of the B-2 Zoning District would cause undue
hardship if the variance was not allowed.
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.
Because of the intended parcel combinations for the Riste and Larson parcels, the total
parcel area of these nonconforming parcels will decrease the nonconformity.
3. The alleged difficulty or hardship is caused by this Title and has not been created by any
persons presently having an interest in the parcel ofland.
The hardship 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.
2
.
.
.
In order to decrease the non-conformity, the parcel split needs to be peiformed to allow the
intended parcel combinations for the Riste and Larson parcels. The requested variance is the
minimum necessary to meet those needs.
ACTION REQUESTED
Approve the variance to the minimum lot area within the B-2 Zoning District of 3,200 square feet in order
to ultimately decrease the non-conformity of the Riste and Larson parcels.

Variance to the Off-Street Parking Requirements In the Vermillion River
Crossings Phase I Project - Block 3
Applicant: Pedersen Ventures
14831 Energy Way
Apple Valley, MN 55124
DATE:
February 14,2006
INTRODUCTIONIDISCUSSION
On November 8, 2005, the Planning Commission discussed a variance request submitted by
Pedersen Ventures. At the meeting, the applicant requested a variance from the off-street
parking requirements to allow for a shortage of 36 parking spaces in Phase I (Block 3) of the
Vermillion River Crossings project. The meeting was continued to the December 13, 2005
Planning Commission meeting where the Commissioners once again continued the public
hearing in order to allow additional research time for staff to determine if a text amendment to
retail sales and services was warranted. Because of the additional research required, Pedersen
Ventures agreed to a 60-day extension to February 21, 2006 for action on the variance request.
Staff presented a text amendment to the Planning Commission on January 10, 2006 where the
Commissioners recommended that the City Council hold a public hearing to approve a text
amendment. On February 14, 2006, the City Council approved a text amendment for retail
parking. The Council approved the following language:
Retail sales and services: At least one off-street parking space for each 200 square feet of
floor area up to a total floor area of 10,000 square feet. At least one off-street parking
space for each 250 square feet of floor area between 10,001 and 30,000 square feet. At
least one off-street parking space for each 300 square feet of floor area thereafter.
The parking spaces proposed for Phase I of the Vermillion River Crossings now meet the
requirements of the code due to the approval of the new language. Therefore, the revised
parking requirements eliminate the need for Pederson Ventures to pursue the previously-
requested variance.
ACTION REQUESTED
Accept the withdrawal request and close the public hearing.

SUBJECT:
Vermillion River Crossings 2nd Addition Final Plat
DATE:
February 14, 2006
INTRODUCTION
The applicant, Pedersen Ventures, has submitted the Final Plat for the Vermillion River
Crossings 2nd Addition, located south of CSAH 50 and west of Denmark A venue (Exhibit A).
The final plat includes the platting of Outlots D and G (Exhibit B). The original building layout
for the Vermillion River Crossings project is attached for reference (Exhibit C).
DISCUSSION
The Planning Commission approved the Vermillion River Crossings Preliminary & Final Plat on
June 28, 2005 and the City Council approved it on July 5, 2005 (Exhibit B).
The applicant now proposes to plat the 2nd Addition of Vermillion River Crossings which
includes Outlots D and G. Northfield Clinic is proposed for the Outlot D location. A sketch plan
review of Northfield Clinic will be presented at the meeting. A large drainage and utility
easement (between 55 and 62 feet in width) is required on the northern portion of the Outlot and
encompasses the stormwater drainage area required by the DNR. No development may occur
within the easement. Additionally, a sanitary sewer easement is located on the west side of the
property. All other easements on the plat meet City requirements.
Outlot G encompasses the 100-foot wide right-of-way for Dushane Parkway, the north/south
public roadway in the Vermillion River Crossings project. Outlot G will be dedicated as public
right-of-way to the City of Farmington. As shown on Exhibit D, the proposed public right-of-
way does not encompass the sidewalks or comer "public amenity areas" south of Knutsen Drive
(per the developer's comments on February 9, 2006, the layout and details for the west sidewalk
south of Knutsen Drive will be provided as part of the Phase II construction documents and will
"mirror" the design for the east sidewalk). Therefore, if sidewalks, trails, or comer "public
amenity areas" are constructed outside of any road right of way (such as on private property or
within a drainage and utility easement), the final plat approval should be made contingent on the
developer providing the City with a permanent easement for the sidewalk, trail, or comer "public
amenity area" and constructing them to City standards or specific requirements.
.
.
.
The current proposal by Pedersen Ventures is that they will dedicate the sidewalks and comer
"public amenity areas" on the east and west sides of Dushane Parkway south of Knutsen Drive in
a future phase. Upon dedication, the City will maintain these areas.
Engineering
Engineering has recommended approval of the Vermillion River Crossings 2nd Addition Final
Plat contingent upon the satisfaction of any engineering requirements.
ACTION REQUESTED
Recommend approval of the Vermillion River Crossings 2nd Final Plat contingent upon the
following:
1. If sidewalks, trails, or comer "public amenity areas" are constructed outside of any road
right of way (such as on private property or within a drainage and utility easement), the
final plat approval is contingent on the developer providing the City with a permanent
easement for the sidewalk, trail, or comer "public amenity area" and constructing them to
City standards or specific requirements.
2. Approval ofthe plat is contingent upon the satisfaction of any engineering requirements.

SUBJECT:
Sketch Plan - Family Health Medical Center of Farmington - Northfield
Hospital (Vermillion River Crossings)
DATE:
February 14, 2006
INTRODUCTION
The applicant, Northfield Hospital, has submitted a sketch plan for a proposed 14,695 square foot
Family Health and Medical Clinic located at the intersection of CSAH 50 and Knutsen Drive in
Farmington (Exhibit A). The clinic is part of the Vermillion River Crossings development.
DISCUSSION
The proposed clinic is to be located at the southwestern intersection of Knutsen Drive and CSAH 50.
The subject property needs to go through the final plat process as it was outlotted (Outlot D) in the
Vermillion River Crossings plat that was approved this past summer. The property is zoned SSC
(Spruce Street Corridor), and a clinic is a permitted use in that zone. The Comprehensive Plan guides
the property for commercial development.
Sketch Plan Review
The City Code provides for the submittal of a sketch plan prior to the formulation and submittal of a
site plan. Attached as Exhibit B are the Sketch Plan requirements as specified in Section 10-6-23 (C)
of the City Code. The sketch plan has been provided to the Planning Commission for its comments
concerning (among other things), the general site design, setbacks, access, parking, and other
potential impacts to surrounding properties. It should be noted that these comments are intended to
be advisory in nature and do not constitute a binding decision on the sketch plan.
The applicant proposes to construct a 14,695 square foot medical clinic, with the possibility of a
second phase consisting of 2,327 additional square feet. The building is proposed at 148 feet in
length and 109 feet in width. The proposed location of the building meets all the setback
requirements within the Spruce Street Commercial (SSC) zoning district. The lot coverage upon
completion of the first phase will be approximately 15%, and 17.3% with the completion of the future
second phase.
.
.
.
There is a drainage ditch (Drainage and Utility Easement) that encompasses the northerly fifty or so
feet of the site. This ditch is part of the mitigation requirements of the DNR and MPCA for the
Vermillion River. No construction may occur within this easement.
Proposed Use
A clinic is listed as a permitted use within the SSC Zoning District requirements. The clinic is
proposing a facility that will consist of 24 exam rooms within the first phase and a total of 36 upon
complete buildout (attached as Exhibit C is the proposed floor plan). The clinic will staff 12 doctors
and 21 support employees.
Transportation
The applicant is proposing two accesses to the site, both from Knutsen Drive. Knutsen Drive is a
private street. The developer will therefore be responsible for the maintenance of the street. The
applicant is proposing two curb openings to this site. Each curb opening accesses a separate parking
lot. The main patient parking lot on the east side of the site consists of 55 off-street parking stalls,
including four (4) accessible stalls. The employee parking lot on the west side of the site consists of
27 off-street parking stalls. Please note the location of the staff entry into the facility on the east side
of the building.
Shelly Johnson, the City's transportation engineer has reviewed the sketch plan and is satisfied with
all transportation issues.
The applicant is proposing 82 off-street parking spaces. Section 10-6-4 of the City Code requires 5
off-street parking stalls be provided for every doctor plus 1 per additional employee for a clinic use.
The staffing counts provided by Northfield Hospital for this clinic is as follows:
Phase I:
Phase II:
8 doctors, 19 support staff
4 doctors, 2 support staff
This would require that 81 off-street parking spaces be provided for at full buildout. The applicant
has met the off-street parking requirements.
Staff has recommended to the applicant that a five foot wide sidewalk be constructed within the
boulevard of Knutsen Drive. A similar recommendation was made to McDonald's for their adjacent
site to the west. These sidewalks will add to the "walk ability" of the overall development. The
applicant has agreed to the installation of the additional sidewalk, as noted on the attached sketch
plan.
Solid Waste
Benno Klotz, Solid Waste Supervisor, has reviewed and approved the trash enclosure location.
Building Elevations
.
.
.
Northfield Clinic representatives are awaiting the approval by the Planning Commission of the
"unifying design theme" that has been proposed by Pederson Ventures for the Vermillion River
Crossings development. The applicant has expressed a desire to comply with the design theme that is
ultimately approved, and is working with the Developer of Vermillion River Crossings in that
respect. The applicant has submitted a proposed elevation (Exhibit D-l) and a photo of the
Northfield Clinic located in Lonsdale (D-2, D-3, and D-4), which is similar to what is being proposed
in Farmington. It will have to be determined if these proposed elevations are acceptable once an
overall design theme has been approved and established for the entire Vermillion River Crossings
development.
Signage
At this time no signage plan has been submitted for review. This information will need to be
provided at the time of submitting for the site plan. A sign permit application will have to be applied
for and approved prior to the installation of any signage on site.
Landscape Plan
The Landscape Plan will be submitted with the site plan documents.
Engineering
The applicant has submitted preliminary grading and utility plans, which have been reviewed by the
City's Engineering Department. It appears, at least preliminarily, that these plans are adequate. The
grading and utility work for this site will have to be verified with the submittal of the site plan
documents.
Landscape Plan
The Landscape Plan will be submitted with the site plan documents.
RECOMMENDED ACTION
The Planning Commission should comment on the concept plan.
Respectfully submitted,
Tony Wippler, Assistant City Planner

SUBJECT:
Sketch Plan - McDonald's (Vermillion River Crossings)
DATE:
February 14,2006
INTRODUCTION
The applicant, Jerry Roper of McDonald's Corporation, has submitted a sketch plan for a proposed
4,800 square foot McDonald's restaurant located at the intersection of CSAH 50 and Dushane
Parkway in Farmington (Exhibit A). The restaurant is part of the Vermillion River Crossings
development.
DISCUSSION
The proposed restaurant is to be located at the southeast intersection of Dushane Parkway and CSAH
50. The property is also bound by Knutsen Drive to the south. The subject property is legally
described as Lot 1, Block Two (2), Vermillion River Crossings. The property is zoned SSC (Spruce
Street Cooridor) which conditionally allows Class II restaurants (fast food, convenience). The
Comprehensive Plan guides the property for commercial development.
Sketch Plan Review
The City Code provides for the submittal of a sketch plan prior to the formulation and submittal of a
site plan. Attached as Exhibit B are the Sketch Plan requirements as specified in Section 10-6-23 (C)
of the City Code. The sketch plan has been provided to the Planning Commission for its comments
concerning (among other things) the general site design, setbacks, access, parking, and other potential
impacts to surrounding properties. It should be noted that these comments are intended to be
advisory in nature and do not constitute a binding decision on the sketch plan.
The applicant proposes to construct an approximately 4,800 square foot fast-food restaurant, with
drive-thru, that will have a seating capacity of 90. The building is proposed at 96 feet in length by 50
feet in width. The proposed location of the building meets all the setback requirements within the
Spruce Street Commercial (SSC) zoning district. The lot coverage upon complete build out will be
approximately 8.8%.
.
.
.
There is a drainage ditch that encompasses the northerly fifty or so feet of the lot. This ditch is part
of the mitigation requirements of the DNR and MPCA for the Vermillion River. No construction
may occur within this easement.
Proposed Use
A Class II fast food restaurant is listed as a conditional use within the SSC Zoning District
requirements. The sketch plan shows a drive-thru on the eastern side of the site with two lanes of
vehicle stacking. The stacking shown on the sketch plan appears to be adequate for this site. There
are two order boards proposed which will allow for maximum efficiency in serving and moving the
drive-thru traffic through the site. The drive-thru traffic wraps around the northern side of the
building for order payment and pickup and will then exit into the parking lot on the west side of the
proposed building before exiting the site.
Transportation
Dushane Parkway is the north/south roadway that will be the main access for traffic through the
Vermillion River Crossings development. Dushane Parkway is a public roadway, therefore, the City
will maintain anything in the right-of-way. Knutsen Drive is the east/west private roadway bordering
the lot's southern boundary. Knutsen Drive is a private street so Pederson Ventures will be
responsible for the maintenance of the street. The applicant is proposing two accesses to the site,
both from Knutsen Drive. Shelly Johnson, the City's transportation engineer, reviewed the sketch
plan and recommended that the westerly access be allowed as a "right out" only. There will need to
be "Do Not Enter" or "Exit Only" signs placed on both sides of this drive. The reason for this
recommendation is that this particular access is too close to the intersection to allow a full access for
this site. Mr. Johnson has also indicated that the angle for the right out only drive should be
increased slightly. The last comment provided by Shelly is in reference to the eastern access and how
undesirable it is that "traffic coming from the store front would have to weave around the parking
aisle to get to the exit lane".
Staff has recommended to the applicant that they construct a five foot wide sidewalk within the
boulevard of Knutsen Drive. A similar recommendation was made to the Northfield Clinic. These
sidewalks will add to the "walkability" of the overall development. The applicant has agreed to the
installation of the additional sidewalk, as noted on the attached sketch plan. In addition, the applicant
is including a sidewalk connection that will extend from the westernmost portion of the parking lot to
the sidewalk that will be constructed (by Pederson Ventures) on the east side of Dushane Parkway.
The applicant is proposing 50 off-street parking spaces. The City Code requires that the developer
provide I stall for every 2 customers to a maximum capacity for a Class II restaurant. The proposed
seating capacity of the restaurant is 90. Therefore, the code requires that 45 parking spaces be
provided. The applicant has met the off-street parking requirements.
Solid Waste
Benno Klotz, Solid Waste Supervisor, has reviewed and approved the trash enclosure location.
.
Building Elevations
McDonald's representatives are awaiting the approval by the Planning Commission of the "unifying
design theme" that has been proposed by Pederson Ventures for the Vermillion River Crossings
development. The applicant has expressed a desire to comply with the design theme that is ultimately
approved, and is working with the Developer of Vermillion River Crossings in that respect. The
applicant has submitted a proposed elevation (Exhibit C-l) and a photo (Exhibit C-2) of a
McDonald's in Nebraska that reflects some of the anticipated architectural details of the proposed
Farmington McDonald's. The majority of the building will consist of masonry brick. The front of
the building (east side) as well as the areas surrounding the entry door on the south side of the
building will consist of stone veneer. It will have to be determined if these proposed elevations are
acceptable once an overall design theme has been approved and established for the entire Vermillion
River Crossings development.
Signage
The proposed signage for the site is attached as Exhibit D. The Monument sign, shown as Exhibit D-
1, is shown located in the northwestern portion of the site. The monument sign meets all setback
requirements. The sign is shown as 11 feet 8 inches high; this exceeds the height requirement for a
monument sign by I '8". All other signage proposed on site appears to meet the City Code
requirements. A sign permit application will have to be applied for and approved prior to the
installation of any signage on site.
. Landscape Plan
The Landscape Plan will be submitted with the site plan documents.
Engineering
The utility and grading plans will be submitted with the site plan documents.
RECOMMENDED ACTION
The Planning Commission should comment on the concept plan.
Respectfully submitted,
.-r- W4 0

SUBJECT:
Vermillion River Crossings Design Theme Narrative
Vermillion River Crossings Landscape and Amenity Plans
DATE:
February 14,2006
INTRODUCTION:
Pedersen Ventures has submitted a Design Theme Narrative and Landscape and Amenity Plans
for the Vermillion River Crossings project.
. DISCUSSION:
.
A. Design Theme Narrative
Part B(2) of Section 10-6-21 of the City Code ("Design Standards for Spruce Street Commercial,
Mixed Use and Business/Flex Commercial Districts") provides as follows:
2. Unifying Design Theme: Buildings and/or streetscapes in the Spruce Street Commercial District
and the Business/Flex District shall reflect a unifying design theme that incorporates features found
along the north/south corridor and within the mixed use district. City staff and the Planning
Commission shall determine whether development proposals satisfy this requirement.
This "Unifying Design Theme" concept was proposed by City staff and adopted by the City
Council in order to reduce the likelihood that the new Spruce Street commercial area would
ultimately consist of a collection of separate buildings with widely divergent architectural styles,
colors and exterior building materials. Staff members believed that if easily recognizable "visual
themes" could be incorporated into all new development occurring within the area, a more
attractive, more cohesive and ultimately more successful commercial environment could be
created.
In order to satisfy this Unifying Design Theme requirement, and the request of City staff,
Pedersen Ventures submitted a Design Theme Narrative (Exhibit A) for the Vermillion River
Crossings development in October of 2005. Exhibit A therefore reflects the developer's
intentions at that time, which was prior to most of the more detailed work that was subsequently
done on the Landscape and Amenity Plans. As a result, Exhibit A includes references to some
.
.
.
items that are no longer part of the proposed Landscape and Amenity Plans that the Planning
Commission will be reviewing on February 14. Examples of now-outdated items include
"serpentine and wave-like configurations of wild grasses" within the median of Dushane
Parkway, a "central raised planter topped with a trout theme sculpture," "stamped concrete"
sidewalk areas, other sidewalks with "wavy monolithic blue tinted concrete," "river and fish
iconography...[in] the tree grates and monument sign, "wave" benches, etc. Similarly, there are
"newer" items in the Landscape Plan that were not yet envisioned when the developer's Design
Theme Narrative was originally prepared, including the "river" of exposed aggregate in the
sidewalks.
Accordingly, the staff recommendation is that Exhibit A be updated to more accurately reflect
current information and expectations, and that the revised document be reviewed by the Planning
Commission at its meeting on March 14. As part of that revision process, the developer may
want to incorporate more specific information regarding the building materials, architectural
details and color schemes that have been proposed by the businesses (especially McDonald's and
the medical clinic) that intend to construct the first few buildings in the development, if those
materials, details or colors are different than those that are currently depicted in the Design
Theme Narrative, and if they are consistent with other aspects of the Design Theme Narrative.
Doing so may insure that later buildings reflect some of those elements, thereby helping to fulfill
the desire for unifying design themes.
Planning Commission comments on the "implementation" aspects ofthe proposed Design Theme
Narrative would be appreciated. For example:
1. For the buildings (such as those along CSAH 50) that will not face Dushane Parkway
(that is, those that are not in the "Main Street" portion of the new development), is
20% an acceptable minimum for the specified exterior building materials? [See page
2 of Exhibit A.]
2. With regard to the design features listed on page 2 of the Design Theme Narrative, is
two an acceptable minimum number of features for the "Main Street" buildings?
3. Could the building material information be presented or summarized in a format that
would make it more "user-friendly" (larger scale, bigger or more detailed pictures or
drawings, a separate table listing trade names or specifications regarding
bricks/veneers, etc.)?
4. Are there any different or additional themes that that Planning Commission would
like the developer and City staffto consider in this instance?
Weare anticipating that at least two businesses may be ready for the Planning Commission to
review and comment on site plans by the time of the Commission's March 14 meeting, so
finalizing and approving a revised Unifying Design Theme at that meeting should be a joint
objective.
B. Landscape and Amenity Plans
On July 5, 2005, the City Council approved the Vermillion River Crossings Preliminary and
Final Plat with certain contingencies. One such contingency was that permits would be issued for
construction in the development only upon the approval of a landscape plan that included
acceptable design details for site amenity areas. The developer and City staff members have been
2
.
.
.
diligently working on the plans since October of2005. City staff members and consultants have
made suggestions and recommendations as each successive draft of the landscape plan was
submitted, in the interest of ultimately presenting the Planning Commission and City Council
with a plan that could be quickly and easily approved. The final product (Exhibit B) addresses
Phase 1 of the project. It encompasses design details for the boulevards along Pedersen and
Knutsen Drive, the sidewalks and amenity area along Dushane Parkway, and landscaping within
the parking lot located on the east side of Dushane Parkway. (It is important to note that all
proposed commercial projects north of Knutsen Drive will provide their own landscaping, which
will be reviewed by the Planning Commission at the site plan review stage). Any landscaping
material(s) discussed in the following sections will be irrigated through the drip system (L070)
that has been proposed by the developer.
The following information discusses the plans in detail. If a general "design element" is
described or discussed in this memo, a sheet number will be included (such as a201). If a
specific "detail" is described or discussed, the detail number and sheet number will be provided
(such as 12A/a201).
1. Street Design
Pedersen Drive and Knutsen Drive will be striped for three lanes -- two driving lanes and a
center lane used for turning movements. The driving lanes are 14 feet wide and the center lane is
12 feet wide, resulting in a total roadway width of 40 feet (Road "B"/aOlO). Dushane Parkway
is designed with two drive lanes on each side of a 9-foot wide median strip (Road "A"/AOlO).
The four drive lanes are each 14 feet wide, resulting in a total street width (including median) of
65 feet. Diagonal parking, similar to that which can be found in Farmington's existing downtown
area, has been proposed for both sides of the retail area along Dushane Parkway south of
Knutsen Drive.
2.
Sidewalks
a. Dushane Avenue. south of Knutsen Drive: The developer is proposing a detailed
sidewalk design along Dushane Parkway south of Knutsen Drive. Although only the east
side is shown on the plans, the west side will "mirror" the east side in a future phase. The
sidewalk includes brick pavers (the developer originally proposed stamped concrete),
scored concrete and an exposed aggregate "river" band (l/a020) that incorporates the
design theme originally proposed. The brick pavers and scored concrete have been
modeled after the City's Downtown Streetscape Plan where light fixtures (l/a021 &
16/a02l), trash containers (2/a021 & l7/a021) and benches (3/a020 l8/a021) are all
surrounded by the pavers. The developer has also added brick pavers around the
pedestrian ramps (3/a020). These sidewalks (and the comer amenity area discussed
below) are not currently located within the City's right-of-way. Accordingly, the
maintenance of the sidewalks and all fixtures located on or within them will be the
developer's responsibility unless or until the developer provides the City with the related
right-of-way (via an easement or a replatting of the area in question). At this point it is
anticipated that the developer will convey the right-of-way to the City before or in
conjunction with the construction of the multi-tenant buildings that will face the portion
of Dushane Parkway that lies south of Knutsen Drive.

b.
Dushane Avenue. north of Knutsen Drive. The sidewalks along Dushane Parkway
between Knutsen Drive and CSAH 50 include the same brick pavers, scored concrete and
the exposed aggregate "river" band (2/a020). These sidewalks are within the City's right-
of-way and will be maintained by the City.
c. DushanelKnutsen Intersection. Brick pavers are also located within the intersection
of Dushane Parkway and Knutsen Drive, providing a crosswalk pattern in the street
(2/a020). The bricks will be installed as a herringbone pattern with a double soldier
course banding installed on the outsides of the crosswalk.
3. Amenity Area
Section 10-6-21 of the City Code, entitled "Design Standards for Spruce Street Commercial,
Mixed Use and Business/Flex Commercial Districts," requires that certain "amenities" be
provided in those particular zoning districts. The Design Standards in question were originally
proposed by City staff and adopted by the City Council in order to help insure that new
commercial areas would be visually appealing and would provide interesting outdoor spaces for
pedestrians, shoppers, employees and visitors to gather or rest, thereby avoiding the type of stark
or sterile atmosphere that characterizes many "modem" suburban commercial environments.
Part A(6) of Section 10-6-21 of the Code provides the following options for the required
"amenity areas:"
6. Required Amenities: For each development, one of the following amenities per ten (10) acres of
net developable land area shall be required and installed at the time of construction of the project.
The amenities shall be highly visible, easily accessible outdoor focal points or gathering places for
residents, employees, and visitors to the development site:
(a) Patio and/or plaza with permanent seating areas; provided such patio or plaza has a minimum
depth of fifteen feet (151 and a minimum total area of three hundred (300) square feet.
(1) Pavers as required in the city standards shall be installed within the patio or plaza.
(2) Patios and plazas shall include pedestrian amenities intended to support these places as
gathering areas such as benches, water features, kiosks, etc.
(b) Landscaped minipark, square, or green, provided such amenity has a minimum depth and
width of fifteen feet (151 and a minimum total area of six hundred fifty (650) square feet, and
includes pedestrian amenities intended to support these places as gathering areas. The
landscaped miniparks, squares or greens do not count toward the park dedication requirements.
(c) Protected customer walkway, arcade, or easily identifiable building pass through containing
window displays and intended for general public access.
(d) Water feature, such as a pond or fountain, provided the feature is easily accessed by
pedestrians and includes or integrates permanent seating areas for pedestrians.
(e) Any other well designed area and/or focal feature that the city finds consistent with the intent of
these design standards, and that substantially enhances such development and serves as a
gathering place for residents, visitors, customers, and employees.
In this particular case, the developer has proposed to meet the City Code's amenity requirement
with a large (approx. 3500 sq. ft.) triangular plaza located at the southeast comer of Dushane
4
.
.
.
Parkway and Knutsen Drive (a201). The exposed aggregate "river" bands that are incorporated
into the adjoining sidewalks culminate at a circular design with three concentric circles,
providing a plaza focal point near the intersection ofthe two nearby streets. The center circle has
a radius of 4 feet and is comprised of exposed aggregate. This area could be used to display
sculpture or other works of art, on a permanent or rotating basis. The next radius is 14 feet and is
mostly comprised of brick pavers, with "spokes" of poured concrete. This larger area could
potentially be used for live performances (musicians, jugglers, magicians, puppet shows, etc.),
"sidewalk sales" or other outdoor activities. The outer circular area has a radius of 22 feet 8
inches and is banded on the outer edge with brick pavers. Scored concrete comprises the
remainder of the circle. Seating will be located in the outer circular area and will include 4
benches, 2 planter/seat areas, and 3 tree/seat areas.
The planter/seat areas (12A1a021) will feature annuals such as geraniums, petunias, lobelias, and
allysums to create a variety of colors (L060). The tree/seat areas (12B/a021) will be planted with
Spring Snow Crabs providing a white bloom in the spring (L060). The two overstory trees are
Imperial Honeylocusts (L060), creating filtered shade throughout the plaza. The trees will be
located in a square tree grate (9B/a021), unlike any other tree grate in the project. Two trellis
structures (13A1a021) at 8 feet in height are also proposed for the plaza, providing additional
shading. The trellis structures will be curved to emulate the circular area (1Ia201). The trellis
will be constructed of 8" x 8" rough sawn cedar posts topped by 2" x 6" and 2" x 10" horizontal
cedar timbers. A 2- foot tall brick base will provide the foundation for each of the vertical cedar
posts in each trellis. Two bike racks (11la021) are proposed within the amenity area to provide
locations for bike storage (lIa020).
4. Median Strip Planting
A median strip is proposed throughout the length of Dushane Parkway (LOI0). The width of the
median is 8 feet and the landscape area is 6 feet in width. A I-foot wide band of concrete is
proposed on the east and west sides of the median in order to provide a "safe" zone from traffic
for gardeners or cross-walkers (L040). The remaining 6 feet is proposed for shrubs including
dogwood and spirea, and a variety of perennial plantings that will come back year after year
(L060). Annuals are proposed for the ends ofthe median strips and will be planted yearly.
The median strip planting design is divided into zones. The "A" zone encompasses the center
portion of the median and provides for the most height in plant material with the North Star
Spruce (L040). The "B" zones step down in height somewhat by providing a smaller number of
spruce shrubs, along with spirea and salvia (L040). The "B" zones are on either end of the "A"
zone. The "C" zones then provide the lowest height for plant materials including salvia and sage
(L040). Additionally, this zone also provides a "river" curve through the Black Eyes Susan
planting pattern. The "D" zone provides the end caps for the median strip. Annual plantings are
proposed for this area (L060).
This pattern of zones will be duplicated in all of the planned and future medians on Dushane
Parkway. Some of the median strips are longer than others; therefore, the median strip for the
portion of Dushane Avenue located south of Knutsen Drive is shown with plantings in two
additional "B" zones.
5. Street Trees
5
f
.
.
.
Autumn Blaze Maples will line Dushane Parkway south of Knutsen Drive (L020 & L060). The
maples will be located within tree grates surrounded by brick pavers (9Na021). Northwood Red
Maples will be located in the boulevards along Dushane Parkway north of Knutsen Drive (L023
and L060).
Marshalls Ash (L060) and Northern Red Maples will be located within the boulevards along
Pederson and Knutsen Drives (L020). All trees shall be planted 40 feet on center unless
driveways or intersections require that they be placed closer together or further apart.
6. Parking Lot Landscaping
Trees proposed within the parking lot include Northwood Red Maples and Columnar Norway
Maples (L060). The parking lot landscaping also includes a variety of shrubs such as
winterberry, forsythia, and lilacs. All planting beds will be sectioned off with 3116" steel edging
between the planting beds and the adjacent grassy areas (L025 and L030) to prevent weed
growth.
7. Lighting
Streetlights will be staggered along Dushane Parkway and will be similar to the green streetlights
that can currently be found in Farmington's core downtown area. The streetlights feature double
hung globes (16/a021). Banners or baskets hangers will be provided in a staggered configuration
along the parkway. Single-globed lights will be located in a staggered configuration along
Knutsen Drive. Cobra lights will be located at the intersection of Dushane Parkway and Knutsen
Drive and at the intersection of Dushane Parkway and CSAH 50. Cobra lights will also be
distributed throughout the parking lot.
8. Signage
The developer is proposing a 6-foot tall monument sign to be located at the plaza entrance
(14/a201). The sign will be constructed of brick with an undulating stucco cornice providing the
cap to the structure. The lettering material has not been described on the plans; therefore, staff
will require the developer to submit a sign permit providing additional details for the monument
sign. A sign permit application will also have to be submitted for the "main" entrance
monument that will be located near CSAH 50. The developer proposes to locate it within the
median strip at the north end of Dushane Parkway (2/a020); however, further discussion of its
intended location will be necessary.
9. Electrical Plan
The developer's contractor, Hunt Electric, has proposed an electrical plan to service the tree
grates and planter boxes in the amenity area. That plan (Sheet ESP2) was included in the
developer's submittal package, but in a size substantially larger than the size required (11" x 17")
required for the Planning Commission packets, so we were unable to include it in the packets.
The developer has been asked to provide this sheet (in the required size) before or at the
Planning Commission meeting on February 14th.
6
.
Receptacles for power at the tree grates will be set at 4" above the ground (next to the tree trunk)
in order to provide outlets for holiday lighting. Power will also be supplied to each planter box
within the amenity area to provide lighting of plants during evening hours. Staff has also
suggested that power be located at the monument sign and in the trellis areas to light these design
elements.
ACTION REQUESTED
Review and provide comments on the Vermillion River Crossings Design Theme Narrative and
Landscape and Amenity Plans. If generally acceptable, forward them to the City Council
contingent upon the following:
1. Update the Design Theme Narrative to (a) incorporate all revised design elements
proposed in the landscape and amenity plans and (b) incorporate any revisions suggested
by City staff and/or the Planning Commission.

RE: Vermillion River Crossing - Landscaping Plans
Dear Mr. Allendorf:
.
Thank you for the landscaping plans that were delivered to City Hall at 4:30 p.m. on Wednesday,
December 21,2005. Significant progress has been made, and we commend you for that. However,
the Planning Division and the Engineering Division have both determined that the plans are
incomplete in certain respects. Revisions will be required before the plans can be presented to the
Planning Commission members for their consideration. The Planning Commission has been very
clear about its desire to formally consider such plans only when City staff members have determined
that the plans are sufficiently complete to justify a final review by the Commission.
This letter will be accompanied by an Excel spreadsheet that summarizes the comments of the
Planning Division ofthe Community Development Department. I have also enclosed a letter from
City Engineer/Public Works Director Lee Mann dated January 6,2006, which summarizes the
Engineering Division's comments. In the interest of enabling you to begin work on the required
revisions as quickly as possible, these summaries were prepared more quickly than usual. Our typical
3-week submission deadline provides us with fifteen business days to complete such comments, but
in this instance the late submission of the plans and three intervening City holidays reduced the
comment period to nine days. Accordingly, we reserve the right to make additional comments if it
becomes apparent that any important issues were missed during the initial (accelerated) review.
In order for the landscaping plans to be considered by the Planning Commission at its meeting on
February 14,2006, your revised plans must be received at City Hall by 4:30 p.m. on Monday.
January 23. 2006 to allow sufficient time for review by City staff and consultants. lfthe revised
plans are determined to be sufficiently complete, they will be placed on the agenda for the February
14 meeting. If the revised plans are still incomplete, you will be provided with additional comment
letters as quickly as possible so that you have an opportunity to submit another set of revised plans in
time for the March 14 Planning Commission meeting.
.
We would like to elaborate on three aspects of the written comments that have been provided by the
Planning Division. First, an important component of the unifying design theme that you originally
proposed was the incorporation of a "river theme" into the sidewalks along both sides of the central
.
.
.
north/south road. You initially indicated that you intended do so by using "wavy monolithic blue
stamped concrete." We responded by indicating that our expectation from the beginning was that the
design and appearance of the sidewalks in question should generally reflect the existing downtown
sidewalks, which do not include any colored or stamped concrete, and which largely rely on attractive
patterns of paver brick. Public Works staff members and others expressed concerns regarding
durability, maintenance and aesthetic issues related to the use of stamped or colored concrete. We
encouraged you to try to retain the "river theme" by incorporating it into the sidewalks through the
creative use of pavers, or in some other manner. However, the plans that were submitted on
December 21 were devoid of any "river theme" elements within the sidewalks.
If you are unalterably opposed to using paver brick to incorporate a river theme (presumably due to
cost considerations), City staffmembers believe that a more economical alternative would be to use a
curving band of exposed aggregate within the sidewalks. If "visual accuracy" is important, the color
and pebbly texture of the exposed aggregate would actually look more like the bottom ofthe
Vermillion River than blue stamped concrete, and would complement the other sidewalk components
(pavers and "regular" concrete) better.
Attached to the Planning Division's comments dated January 6,2006 you will find two documents
that provide more information about this option. Figure 1 a shows how the aggregate band could be
incorporated into the sidewalk design. This is for illustration only - we are not suggesting that it be
duplicated exactly. Decisions would have to be made about design details such as the width of the
band (standard or variable?), the degree of curvature, and the placement of the band within the
sidewalk (to avoid benches, trash receptacles, bike racks, etc.). Figure lb provides the MnDOT
specifications for the creation of an exposed aggregate finish. Knowledgeable sources have informed
us that the exposed aggregate effect would be relatively easy and inexpensive to achieve. If you
believe otherwise, please let us know so that we can continue to jointly explore other options.
Second, the current set oflandscape plans lacks sufficient detail in many respects. Ana Nelson's
letter to you dated December 2,2005 (an additional copy of which has been enclosed) and the
attachments that accompanied that letter (Exhibits A though J), provided specific examples of the
required level of detail. Prior to Ms. Nelson's letter, City staffhad provided your consultants with
copies oflandscape plans (for various new commercial areas) that had been submitted to and
approved by other cities. Our goal was the same as Ms. Nelson's: to help remove any doubt or
uncertainty regarding the minimum requirements of a landscape plan submittal that would warrant
Planning Commission review.
Attached to the Planning Division's comments dated January 6,2006 you will find two new
documents (Figures 3 and 4) that once again demonstrate the level of detail that we are seeking.
Construction plans cannot be reviewed in any meaningful way unless or until we have a better idea of
what you intend or propose to build. Figures 3 and 4 are specifically related to the proposed
seat/planter areas and the trellis, both of which (to date) are notably devoid of any useful specifics,
but it should be emphasized that the desire for more detail is not limited to those two items.
Third, we have taken some extra initiative (as more fully described below) with regard to the
landscaped medians, because that is an area where progress has been particularly slow. We do not
want unresolved median issues to delay the approval ofthe overall landscaping plan, in part because
.
.
.
we advised you at least four months ago that we could not effectively review site plans for individual
lots in the absence of an approved landscape plan for the entire area that has been platted. It currently
appears that several prospective purchasers will want to have the Planning Commission review site
plans as early as next month.
Your original proposal for the medians involved "wave-like configurations of wild grasses." City
staff and our consultant expressed reservations about the lack of variety (i.e., nothing other than
grasses was used, and only three varieties of grass), long-term maintenance issues, and the fact that
the medians would offer nothing of visual interest during the eight months when the grass would not
be growing. The next proposal (the one reflected in the latest set of landscape plans) saw the
pendulum swing to the other end ofthe variety/quantity spectrum. City Planner Lee Smick has
indicated that the north median, which is the smaller of the two, included 20-24 different species of
plants and somewhere between 700 and 800 individual plants. The two medians together (including
the planting areas for annuals on the ends of the medians) included a total of nearly 2400 individual
plants.
While the latest landscape concept for the medians certainly addresses the "variety issue," it does so
in a way that significantly increases initial installation costs and long-term maintenance obligations.
Many of the 2400 plants in question would not survive the first winter, and would have to be replaced
during the following spring (presumably at City expense), and perhaps every spring thereafter.
Moreover, the first two medians will not be the only medians in the development; several others will
eventually be constructed as the project moves south toward the Town Square. The first two will "set
the stage" for those that follow, so we need to be cautious about the possibility of an incremental
escalation that ultimately results in landscape maintenance obligations that the City cannot
reasonably fulfill. Finally, the latest landscape plan for the medians doesn't effectively address our
previously-expressed desire for something that has year-round visual appeal. The plan is light on
evergreens (only two in the north median, for example) and colorful shrubs that could be seen above
snow cover, and heavy on lower-lying plants laid out in a zigzag or herringbone pattern that probably
could not be discerned during the winter.
For the reasons outline above, and in the interest of expediting this matter, we recently asked the
City's landscape consultant to draft a landscape plan for the medians. You will find it attached to the
Planning Division's comments dated January 6, 2006 (Figure 2). Compared to your latest concept
plan, this proposed plan has about half the number of species and half the number of individual
plants. We believe that this plan reflects enough plant diversity to be visually interesting without
creating unreasonable installation or maintenance obligations. It includes more evergreens and taller
shrubs in a column down the center of the median, to provide a clearer border between the
northbound and southbound traffic lanes that will retain its functionality and aesthetic appeal through
the winter. The "c" portions of the medians include an undulating or wave-like planting pattern that
incorporates the "river theme" that was discussed above. In short, this plan is one that City staff
could recommend that the Planning Commission accept or adopt, and we believe that they would find
it acceptable. You are welcome to incorporate this median plan into the revised landscape plan that
you submit later this month. If you choose not to do so, we would then encourage you to schedule
another meeting with City staff and our landscape consultant to discuss this matter before you prepare
or submit another landscape plan for the medians.
.
.
.
As always, City staff members and the City's landscape consultant will be available to meet with you
and/or with any members of your development team at any mutually convenient time to discuss any
aspect of your landscaping plan. We would very much prefer to receive a revised landscape plan on
or by January 23, 2006 that is consistent with the enclosed Planning Division and Engineering
Division comment letters, and with the other advice and direction that we have offered during the last
four to six months. If we do, we will recommend that the Planning Commission approve it on
February 14, after which your development team, City staff members and future Farmington
businesses can all shift their attention to the site plans for the lots that you have sold (or are in the
process of selling).
Call me if you have any questions or comments, or if you'd like to schedule a meeting. Thanks.
Sincerely,
Kevin Carroll

RE: Vermillion River Crossings - Landscape Plan and Amenity Areas
Dear Mr. Allendorf:
City staff members have requested that I provide you with some additional information and suggestions
regarding the work that you and your consultants are doing in connection with revisions to your
Landscape Plan and revised plans for the Amenity Areas. This information is provided as a follow-up to
our meeting at City Hall on November 14. 2005.
The City of Farmington is eager to make the Vermillion River Crossings development a destination place
for its citizens and neighboring communities. The character of Vermillion River Crossings should be
welcoming and should incorporate visual aesthetics, inviting pedestrian scale elements, and historic
character as part of a cohesive community.
At this point City staff members are interested in seeing more specifics and a generally higher level of
detail in any revised drawings and plans that your development team may currently be preparing. They
would also like you to continue to study the possibility of incorporating the "river" pattern as part of the
overall concept to capture the essence of the project's narrative. They understand the budget implications
of using brick instead of stamped concrete, but they also believe that it can be done in a cost-effective
manner.
We recommend that you include the following types of drawings and illustrations in your next submittal,
in order to help City staff, the Planning Commission, the City Council and interested residents better
understand your design intentions:
1. For Overall Design:
. Provide a plant palette and a final materials and site elements palette. See Examples A and
B.
2. Streets cape/Frontage of Building(s):
. Use a plan view area that shows (at 20 scale, minimum) the planting plan and pavement
design, incorporated to the frontage of buildings. It doesn't need to be the entire length of
the building frontage, but it should show enough to clearly indicate the character of the
pedestrian space. Please see Example C (shown at 10 scale).
923 Nicollet Mall Minneapolis, Minnesota 55402 phone 612.332.7522 fax 612.332.0936
.

. The pavement design should include scoring patterns and intended materials as they
integrate with site furnishings (bike racks, benches, trash receptacles, bollards, lighting
fixtures, arbors/trellis, planters, tree grates, ornamental fences, etc.) See Example D.
. Describe what these elements are, as shown in Example E.
. Cross-section showing profile of building(s), site amenities, vegetation, and median(s).
Please see Example F.
3. Landscaped Medians:
. Plan view of the planting plan revised per following comments: City staff would like to see
year-round interest per plant palette. Please use more variety of species in medians. Also,
consider allowing space at noses of medians for annuals and a strip of concrete or pavers
along the back of curb for a cleaner look and more efficient maintenance. See Example G.
. Include location and design of any elements (signage, public art, etc.) included in medians.
4. Amenity/Plaza Areas:
. City staff appreciates the revised layout for the corner amenities. They feel that significant
progress has been made, but that a greater effort needs to be made to incorporate more
vertical elements were there is a lot of bare hardscape. Consider the use of planters for
annuals and to make the intersections more interesting.
. City staff members are concerned about the possible appearance of the proposed concrete
seating. Please be more specific about the design of these elements, and the methods that
could be used to deter skateboarders from damaging them.
. Include a revised plan layout showing scoring patterns and hardscape materials.
. Include a cross-section of the amenity plaza showing all the site amenities, including more
specifics regarding the intended materials for the trellis/arbor. Please see Examples H and
I.
5. Additional Locations and Design of Amenities.
. Include a plan view of proposed seating areas beyond the spaces mentioned above.
. Provide more detail regarding proposed signage and way finding elements, which should
help clearly identify the character of the development. See Example J.
Please feel free to contact me and/or City staff if you have any questions regarding the topics addressed
above. Thank you.

RE: Vermillion River Crossing - Landscaping Plans (Revised)
Dear Mr. Allendorf:
Thank you for the revised landscaping plans that were delivered to City Hall at about 4:30 p.m. on
Monday, January 23,2006. We appreciate your development team's willingness to make a number
of the changes that City staff had previously recommended. We especially like the way that you've
used the exposed aggregate "river" motif to physically connect the pedestrian ramp on the south side
of the project with the triangular amenity area located further to the north. We also like the fact that
you've extended the motif even further northward, to the sidewalk located between the east/west
street and CSAH 50.
.
We have attached additional Planning Division comments dated January 30, 2006. The "figures" that
are referred to in the Planning Division comments appear in the two attached .pdffiles. Most of the
revisions that we are proposing are relatively minor "housekeeping" items that fall generally into one
or more of the following categories:
.
1.
Revisions that we previously requested, but that have not yet been made. (Examples:
showing the River Birch as 3+ stemmed clumps in the plant schedule; using a scale of I":::
I 0' for elevation views of center median and buildings.)
Levels of detail that have been requested, but not yet provided. (Examples: dimensions
and related specifications regarding trash receptacles, benches and bike racks; color and
related specifications for paver bricks; missing quantity figures for certain plant
materials. )
Internal inconsistencies between various pages or portions of the landscape plan.
(Examples: photos of plant materials that are no longer part of the landscape plan;
elevation views of buildings and amenity areas that do not depict the same types of trees
that are shown in the plant schedules.)
Consolidation of information into more usefulfonnats. (Examples: having all of the
plant materials in one schedule, on one page, rather than having them spread over three
separate pages; elimination of the black-and-white building elevation views, which are
unnecessary given the presence of the color renderings.)
2.
3.
4.
.
However, there are a few remaining issues that go beyond the "housekeeping" variety. We'd like
you to consider making more substantial revisions in the following areas:
.
1. Concrete seating/planter areas. Ana Nelson's letter to you dated December 2,2005
included the following statement: "City staff members are concerned about the possible
appearance of the proposed concrete seating." We provided you with copies of
specifications for outdoor seating areas in other communities that have been constructed
with veneers of granite or other types of stone. Although your revised landscape plan
provides some dimensional information that was previously missing, it appears that the
seating/planter areas are still composed entirely of concrete. We believe that Planning
Commission and City Council members may find them somewhat stark, unimaginative,
unattractive, and/or inconsistent with the higher-quality design elements and building
materials that are likely to seen in the adjacent buildings. In short, the seating/planter areas
are not fulfilling their potential as the most visible and prominent "amenities" in the
corner amenity areas. We encourage you to consider upgrading the construction
materials, design and appearance of the seating/planter areas.
2.
Monuments and signage. Your plans show two monument signs: one at the north end of
the median, and the other in the northwest quadrant ofthe corner amenity area. (We are
assuming that another monument sign is planned for the corner amenity area on the west
side of the north/south road.) Further clarification regarding your intentions would be
useful. First, Detail 14 on Page a021 suggests that all of the monument signs will be
identical, although Detail 2 on Page a020 indicates that the median monument will be
straight and the corner monuments will be curved. Second, we are wondering if you plan
to have a monument located near the easternmost (right in, right out) entrance; your plans
don't currently show one. Third, our staff assumption had previously been that the
median monument might incorporate signage related to your major businesses, or that it
would at least be designed in a manner that would give you the option of incorporating
such signage in the future. That doesn't currently appear to be your intention. We're not
suggesting that you must do so -- opinions probably vary in that regard - but we just want
to make certain that you've considered and intentionally rejected that possibility. Finally,
there is a chance that Planning Commission and City Council members might have been
hoping for a more appealing style of entrance monument. The one that's shown in the
landscape plan is basically a rectangular brick wall with somewhat bland lower-case
lettering. It's the type of thing that can be found almost anywhere. It doesn't clearly
incorporate or reflect the river theme that is found elsewhere in the development. We
encourage you to consider modifying the entrance monuments to make them more
interesting and distinctive.
Our hope is that changes of the type referred to above can be made and submitted to City staffby
12:00 noon on Thursday, February 9, 2006, so that we have enough time to review them and get
copies of them into the packets that will be prepared that day for the March 14,2006 Planning
Commission meeting. Ifthe changes in question are not made and submitted by February 9, there is
a significantly greater likelihood that the Planning Commission will either (a) continue the discussion
ofthe landscape plans to the Commission's April II meeting, or (b) recommend that the City Council
not approve the proposed landscape plan.
.
.
.
.
This letter and the attached document are limited to Planning Division/Community Development
Department comments. The Engineering Division is working on a separate set of comments, which
will be probably be forwarded to you within the next day or two. You will also receive a separate
letter from the Community Development Department within the next 48 hours regarding the
"unifying design theme" topic, in part because recent and anticipated changes to the landscape plan
may necessitate corresponding revisions to the design theme information that you previously
submitted.
Call me if you have any questions or comments. Thanks.

Kevin Carroll

VERMILLION RIVER CROSSING
.
.
As one of Dakota County's oldest towns, Farmington, with its long and storied
past, deserves development which reinforces and celebrates its rich history and
unique legacy. There are two main themes which emerge that would be
appropriate for the Main Street retail! commercial buildings and public areas for
the Vermillion River Crossing development.
1) History of Farmington
The town always had, and continues today, to have a strong heritage and
identity with "Main Street". There is a tradition of Farmington street fairs
along with the preservation of such architecturally significant buildings as
the Farmington State Bank Building, the Masonic Temple Building, the
Fletcher Building and the Exchange Bank Building. The spirit and appeal
of Farmington is captured in Grace Noll Crowell's notable poem with its
opening line "Little, lovely, friendly town. . ."
2) Vermillion River
The winding and rambling Vermillion River has been a cherished part of
Farmington's identity. As a haven for brown trout, the river has played a
key role in the town's recreation from fly-fishing to the scenic walking
trails which follow and cross its path. Even when the health of the
Vermillion River was in jeopardy, it is the community which rallied to
remedy the problem and reaffirm their relationship with the river.
.
It is this pride and connection with the town and the river that makes
Farmington unique and memorable. In an effort to celebrate and pay homage to
this legacy, the Vermillion River Crossing development is proposing the
inclusion of imagery, materials and amenities which are consistent and
sympathetic with these two themes. This concept is presented with the ideals
that future tenants in this development will further contribute and pursue these
themes through their designs and construction. In particular, the out-lot areas
Page 1 of 3
would include at least 20 percent of their exterior with such materials as brick,
. stucco and stone similar in style, texture and color as the Main Street facades.
Selected architectural elements, such as doors, windows, lighting and signage
would be sympathetic to the historic theme, and any additional public art is
welcomed with the hopes of using the river and fish theme as its inspiration.
The Main Street retail and commercial avenue is lined with" faux" two-story
structures reminiscent of Farmington's historic buildings. Each building would
include at least two of the following design features:
· red, pink, or tan brick masonry or stucco.
· stone veneer.
.
· precast window sills and flat or arched lintels.
· upper floor windows styled as single or double hung windows.
(These are characteristic of residential or office spaces which typically
were located above Main Street's retail ground level.)
· traditional cornices, window shutters and historic wall mounted
lighting fixtures.
· und ula ting canopy.
(This feature protects visitors from the elements, and also has a gesture
and form suggesting the movement and image of the river.)

These combined elements give Main Street a scale, texture and ambiance consistent
with Farmington's past. The river theme is pursued further in the center median
through the use of serpentine and wave-like configurations of wild grasses and
plantings, and culminates with a central raised planter topped with a trout-theme
sculpture.

Throughout the public areas, the paving and amenities further enhance the
. established themes. Stamped concrete with a traditional red herringbone brick
paving pattern is juxtaposed with "wavy" monolithic blue tinted concrete - an
image of town meeting river. This paving ensemble creates a matrix at the
corner public areas to facilitate organization of seating, landscaping and other
amenities, and also continues as the sidewalk down the main avenue with trees
and lampposts to complete the historic fabric of the street. River and fish
iconography are introduced through the tree gratings and monument sign, while
the seating is composed of a series of "wave" benches.

SUBJECT:
Double E Development Sketch Plan
DATE:
February 14,2006
INTRODUCTION
The applicant, Double E Development, LLC, has submitted a sketch plan for the property located
on the west side of Akin Road and north of Middle Creek Estates, addressed as 20441 Akin Road
(Exhibit A). The developer is proposing 7 single-family lots in the R-l Zoning District (Exhibit
B).
DISCUSSION
The developer is proposing 7 single-family lots on 3.52 acres (153,378 square feet). Excluding
the pond (15,754 square feet) and arterial road right-of-way (Akin Road; 42,760 square feet)
results in 94,864 net developable square feet or 2.18 net acres, resulting in a net density of 3.2
units per acre. The 3.2 units/acre exceeds the Metropolitan Council's requirements for densities
at 3.0 units/acre and above.
Before a preliminary plat is submitted for review, a sketch plan review is required at the
Planning Commission. It should be noted that comments by the Planning Commission are
intended to be advisory in nature and do not constitute a binding decision on the sketch plan.
Existing Conditions
The lot consists of 3.52 acres. As shown on Exhibit C, the lot is almost completely wooded, with
an existing slope of 11.5%. The Bongard Trucking site is located across the road from the
Double E site. The Bongard property is zoned R-l and is currently for sale as a commercial
property. However, the property may only be used as a trucking business and may not be
expanded. To the north of the Bongard property is a large wetland complex that is owned by
Giles Properties and the City of Farmington. Development is not proposed in this area because
of the wetland. Further to the north of the wetland on the east side of Akin Road is another
property that is currently for sale (owned by Ken Gerdts). The Gerdts property encompasses
approximately 3.5 acres; however, the south side of the Gerdts property is mostly wetlands, and
will most likely not be developed. It is important to understand that additional new development
may occur not only on the Double E site, but also on the Bongard and Gerdts properties, all in
close proximity to one another. Traffic volumes will most likely increase on Akin Road because
of this potential development. Access to Akin Road from these properties cannot be prevented,
but, there may be a need to provide additional lanes for access to and from their sites. Further
review of the traffic issues for the Double E Development will be performed by Shelly Johnson,
the City's Transportation Engineer.
.
Proposed Lot Sizes and Widths
The lot is located in the R-l Zoning District, which requires a minimum lot size of 10,000 square
feet and a minimum lot width of75 feet. The lot sizes and widths are proposed as follows:
Lot
Lot 1
Lot 2
Lot 3
Lot 4
Lot 5
Lot 6
Lot 7
Lot Size
11,545 sf
18,556 sf
10,513 sf
16,956 sf
10,016 sf
10,003 sf
17,275 sf
Lot Widths
75 feet
75.12 feet
75.12 feet
75.09 feet
76.36 feet
79.09 feet
95 feet
All of the lots sizes and widths meet the minimum standards of the R-l Zoning District.
Engineering
. Engineering has reviewed the sketch plan and has stated that storm water issues on this site will
be significant because of the existing slope of the property. As shown on the plan, a 0.36 acre
storm water pond is proposed at the northeast corner of the property. Erik Peters, the City's
storm water engineer, has done a cursory review of the drainage and hydrology calculations and
has tentatively stated that the proposed pond will be adequate. Additional review concerning the
storm water issues will be required.
The proposed cul-de-sac has been shown with an 8% slope at its highest point, leveling off at the
entrance to Akin Road at 2.9%. Retaining walls are proposed on the south and west property
lines. The south walls are proposed at heights up to 4 feet and the west walls are proposed at
heights up to 10 feet. An additional retaining wall is proposed for the east side of Lot 1 at a
height up to 10 feet. Any retaining wall over 4 feet in height needs to be structurally engineered.
Continued engineering reviews will be required.
ACTION REQUESTED
The Planning Commission should comment on the concept plan.
