The property is zoned Spruce Street Commercial (SSC) and Park/Open Space (PaS). The property consists of 60 acres, of which approximately 40 acres is developable.

Comments from the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources . Proposed Development: Area Bounded By: Existing Zoning: Existing Conditions: Minimum Lot SizeslWidths: Parkland Dedication: Street Accesses: . Sidewalks: Topography: Wetland: . Commercial properties including Gas/Convenience Store, Retail, Hotel, and Mixed-Use. C.S.A.H. 50 to the north, Dakota County maintenance facility to the west, Denmark Avenue to the east, and the Vermilion River and agricultural land to the south. SSC - Spruce Street Commercial District The land is currently used for agriculture. The minimum lot size is 1 acre and the mlmmum lot width is 100 feet. All of the proposed lots meet the SSC bulk requirements except for the lot located in the northwest corner of the property. The lot is not a minimum of 1 acre and is not labeled as a lot or block. A revision to this lot in order to meet the SSC bulk standards is required. The parkland dedication requirement is currently under review. The plat shows three accesses along CSAH 50. The westerly and easterly accesses are right-in/right-out accesses. The central access is a full intersection and currently exists to the north into the Northern Natural Gas property. The fourth access (Spruce Street) is located along Denmark Avenue and will be a full intersection. The accesses were reviewed and approved by the Dakota County Plat Commission on September 20, 2004. Sidewalks are proposed throughout the plat including both sides of the north/south public street. However, sidewalks need to be added on one side of the private streets. Site topography is generally flat in the northern western section of the property and rises in elevation near the southwest until the topography falls off to the Vermillion River along the southern property line. The easterly portion of the site is lower in elevation than most of the property. Wetland areas do exist along the south and southwestern portion of the property. Dakota County Surveyor, Todd Tollefson, submitted a letter to the City on September 23, 2004 from Dakota County Attorney, Mike Ring, concerning a permanent easement for wetland purposes to the east of the gas pipeline easements. That letter is attached as Exhibit C. The City does not foresee this . permanent easement as an obstacle to the approval of the preliminary plat since the easement lies outside of the developable property on the plat. Flood Plain: A flood plain currently exists on the easterly portion of the property. Developer Added Amenities: Per Section 10-6-21 of the Zoning Code shown as Exhibit D, the Spruce Street Design Standards require 1 amenity for every 10 acres of developable area. Therefore, the Developer needs to provide 4 amenities within the development. DISCUSSION Section 11-3-2 of the Farmington Subdivision Code requires that the subdivider provide all information contained in subsection (A) and (B) shown as Exhibit E. Upon review of the Vermillion River Crossing Preliminary Plat, staff determined that the plat met the requirements in the above-mentioned sections of the code, and therefore, set a public hearing for the plat for September 28, 2004. The following comments are based on the preliminary plat submitted: . 1. Right-of-way on C.S.A.H. 50 and Denmark Avenue - The preliminary plat does not show the right-of-way on C.S.A.H. 50 and Denmark Avenue that is owned by the Knutsen family (see attached Exhibit F). The preliminary plat needs to show this information. 2. Minimum Lot Size - According to the Zoning Code, the minimum lot size in the Spruce Street Commercial zoning district is one (1) acre (43,560 square feet). As shown on the plan, the proposed lot located at the northwest corner of the Knutsen property is approximately 12,610 square feet, approximately 30,950 square feet less than the 1 acre minimum lot size requirement. The plan should be modified to reflect a larger lot that would comply with the Code or create an outlot that would accommodate the proposed private street. 3. Proposed Lot Acreage and Uses Lot 1 Block 1 1 .85 acres Convenience Store Lot 2 Block 1 1 .50 acres Retail Lot 3 Block 1 1.49 acres Retail Lot 4 Block 1 1 .72 acres Automotive Lot 5 Block 1 4.06 acres Retail Lot 6 Block 1 1 . 15 acres Retail Lot 7 Block 1 6.27 acres Large Retailer Lot 8 Block 1 2.30 acres Retail! Mixed-Use Lot 1 Block 2 1.14 acres Retail . Lot 2 Block 2 1.01 acres Retail Lot 3 Block 2 1.80 acres Fast Food Lot 4 Block 2 2.34 acres Retail Lot 5 Block 2 1.81 acres Hotel . Lot 6 Block 2 2.79 acres Retail/ Mixed-Use Outlot A 21 .48 acres Storm Water/Wetlands Outlot B 2.34 acres Wetlands Outlot C 0.73 acres Town Square 4. Comments from Minnesota Department of Natural Resources/Dakota County Soil & Water Conservation District The Minnesota Department of Natural Resources and Dakota County Soil & Water Conservation District submitted letters concerning the preliminary plat as shown in Exhibits G and H. Both agencies have requested that the City not approve the preliminary plat until their issues have been resolved. The City Engineer and other staff are currently working to resolve these issues. At the time of the drafting of this agenda item, the City has not had sufficient time to discuss the issues in question with the agencies. ISSUES TO BE REVIEWED AT THE SITE PLAN REVIEW STAGE . As stated in Section 10-6-23 of the Farmington Zoning Code, a formal site plan review is required upon the proposed "construction of new structures" on "vacant undeveloped land." Therefore, each Lot within the proposed Vermillion River Crossing Preliminary Plat needs to be reviewed through the formal site plan process by the Planning Commission after the final plat is approved but prior to construction. The plat is considered a "Major Project" and will be reviewed during the formal site plan process under Section 10-6-23 (E) of the Farmington Zoning Code that is attached to this packet as Exhibit I. Additionally, the developer will be required to comply with Section 10-6-21 of the Farmington Zoning Code concerning the Design Standards for the Spruce Street Commercial zoning district that is also attached to this packet. As shown in the attached code requirements, a number of issues need to be reviewed including but not limited to the following items: 1) Parking space needs 2) Handicap parking space needs 3) Landscaping 4) Refuse/loading areas 5) Lighting 6) Sidewalks/Trails 7) Grading 8) Building elevations - Floor plans 9) Fire protection plan 10) Site amenities 11) Signage plan 12) Variances to City Standards 13) Conditional Use Permits Along with the above items, the following items need to be discussed in detail at the site plan review stage: . 1. Front Yard Setback - According to the provisions for the Spruce Street Corridor zoning district, at least 50% of the front face of a structure must be located within 20 feet of . a public street right-of-way or private street edge. As shown on the plans, the proposed structures fronting C.S.A.H. 50 are not located within 20 feet of the right-of- way. The purpose of this provision is to create a streetscape within the entire Spruce Street Commercial zoning district that is similar to the existing downtown (with building fronts close to the road). The concept of buildings fronting C.S.A.H. 50 is not provided for in the Spruce Street Commercial district. If the plans for each lot along C.S.A.H. 50 represent a desirable development pattern, a variance from the setback requirement would be necessary. 2. Conditional Uses - The following proposed uses are conditionally allowed in the Spruce Street Commercial zoning district and therefore would require a conditional use permit: . Convenience Store . Hotel . Fast Food Restaurant The conditional use permits may be applied for at the same time as the review of the site plan. . 3. Parking Spaces - Exhibit J is a parking analysis for each lot within the development. As shown in the analysis, most of the lots show a shortage of parking spaces. The Developer needs to meet parking space requirements for each lot, or a variance would need to be applied for at the site plan review stage. Staff is currently reviewing the City's parking standards to determine whether the existing requirements are appropriate for some of the proposed land uses in the development. Staff will present its findings to the Planning Commission when completed. Landscaping - According to the Zoning Code concerning perimeter parking lot landscaping, the requirement is 1 tree and 3 shrubs for every 40 feet of parking lot perimeter is required. The Developer will need to meet these requirements for each lot at the site plan review stage. 4. SidewalkslTrails - According to the Spruce Street Design Standards, sidewalks are required on both sides of streets. The City's Development Committee has recommended that on private streets, one sidewalk would be required along the private street. These sidewalks need to be shown on the plan. Randy Distad, the Parks and Recreation Director submitted a detailed trails plan to the developer showing trails throughout the development. These trails need to be shown on the trails/landscape plan. 6. Street Lighting - According to the Spruce Street Design Standards, any light along the perimeter of parking lots and streets shall be installed as illustrated in the City's standard detail plate as "streetlight - downtown district" (see attached Exhibit K). . . . . ACTION REQUESTED The Planning Commission may: 1. Continue the plat until October 12, 2004 to provide additional time to address any currently unresolved issues. 2. Recommend approval of the plat if all unresolved issues have been addressed to the Planning Commission's satisfaction by the time or the public hearing on September 28, 2004.

In checking my project file for CP 50-05 I see that we did obtain and record a permanent easement for wetland purposes over 4.41 acres from Melford and Genevieve Knutsen. That easement was recorded as document no. 1370368. The county also recorded a declaration of restrictions and covenants for replacement wetland against the same land which was recorded as document no. 1382304. I doubt the developer will be permitted to use our wetland replacement area as a settling pond for stormwater drainage purposes, unless they replace our wetlands at a 2:1 ratio. Todd, please forward this email to the planner from Farmington who attended our plat commission meeting. He will need to let the developer know that they must work through the county to resolve drainage and use issues if they intend to use any part of those 4.41 acres. > > Mike Ring > Assistant Dakota County Attorney > mike.ring@co.dakota.mn.us > > This email and any attachments are intended for the exclusive use of the individual or entity to whom it is addressed.

Michele Hanson and I have had only a moment to quickly review the materials, and offer the following comments for inclusion in the hearing record next week: DNR staff have met with city staff and consultants in February and March of this year to discuss potential development of this area adjacent to the Vermillion River, a designated trout stream. Our early comments and concerns focused primarily on the anticipated vehicular and trail crossings and on stormwater management. In particular, we expressed our desire to minimize the number of crossings of the channel to protect the high-quality habitat that has been documented along the stream corridor. I'd like to take this opportunity to reiterate those concerns again. There are issues with floodway encroachment associated with crossings as well. Of greater concern are the likely stormwater impacts from the proposed development. The ponding/infiltration areas that are depicted on the current drawings are not much different than those which were shown in earlier drawings which we expressed concern about. We are not .onvinced that the stormwater management as proposed will effectively mitigate the thermal mpacts from the runoff generated by this proposed development. The automotive/service station depicted in the northwest corner of the site does not appear to have its own on-site treatment of stormwater. These types of facilities present a greater risk of contamination to receiving waters. The current plan shows that area being served by the overall site stormsewer system. This may be inconsistent with the requirements of the NPDES Phase II permit requirements. The current proposal closely resembles that which was discussed earlier this year. We were hopeful the city would encourage the incorporation of Low Impact Development (LID) strategies within the Spruce Street development, particularly in light of its proximity to the sensitive and high value trout stream. The high density, high impervious surface coverage proposed is not in keeping with LID design. We respectfully request the Planning Commission consider not approving the preliminary plat until the development incorporates stormwater management strategies that will result in a measurable reduction in stormwater runoff and adequately protect the health of the trout fishery.

We submitted comments on the Spruce Street ADAR and have had ongoing discussions about this development for the past several months. . Other than the proposed water quality ponds and infiltration basins, there are no temporary or permanent erosion controls shown on the plans. The applicant is required to prepare a Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan (SWPPP) that complies with the National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES). The information submitted does not appear to comply with the NPDES program and most importantly adequately protect water quality. Temperature mitigation and stormwater treatment will be critical elements of the SWPPP. The proposed infiltration areas do not meet standard design specifications, such as those listed in the Minnesota Urban Small Sites BMP Manual (Metropolitan Council). To function properly, infiltration basins need to meet specific design criteria. The following are a few of the concerns' that need to be addressed if the infiltration basins are going to be of beneficial use: . . There should be three feet of separation between the bottom of the basin and high groundwater table. The proposed develbpment plans show infiltration areas where these design criteria may not be met but may be possible. . Vegetation is the key to the long-term viability and aesthetics of the proposed infiltration basins. Accordingly, the maximum depth of water within the basin should be one to two feet (depending on the plant species) with duration of no longer than 72 hours. The plan shows no vegetation in the infiltration basins. . The bottom elevation of the proposed infiltration basins is 1.5 feet lower than the proposed Normal Water Level in the stormwater pond. How will permanent standing water in the infiltration basins be avoided? Shallow standing water will increase water temperatures. . The removal of suspended solids prior to discharge to the basins is an important component of functional infiltration basin designs. We encourage the use of vegetated filter strips or swales to provide this pretreatment. In addition to providing presettlement, these biofilters will reduce runoff and remove other pollutants as well.

The emergency spillway shown on the north infiltration basins should be eliminated and placed in the water quality pond. · Enhanced ~I'osion control measures are needed to protect infiltration basins during construction.

This should be specified on the plans and detail sheets. . There are opportunities to reduce stormwater volumes and improve water quality discharged from the site. Bioretention, vegetated drainage swales, reduced impervious areas, and other practices are encouraged and need to be discussed. Many of these same comments were provided in the past. The Spruce Street ADAR Response to Comments and Final Mitigation Plan, dated June 2004, indicated that specific water quality protection issues would be discussed and communicated during the platting process. We expect and anticipate an increased effort by the developer to protect water quality within this portion of the Vermillion River Watershed, a designated trout stream. Compliance with the NPDES permit is uncertain and it is practical and feasible for the City to require submittal of the SWPPP prior to the City approving the preliminary plat. Accordingly, we recommend that the preliminary plat and any potential bid schedule be suspended until the issues noted above are addressed.

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

The Planning Commission, at its meeting on September 15, 2004, continued the public hearing for the Mattson Farm Preliminary Plat until September 28, 2004 in order to address issues regarding grading of the site and its impact on adjacent wetlands. The applicants submitted a revised plat and corresponding documents on September 20, 2004. Staff is currently reviewing the revised plat and may have comments prepared in time to present to the Commission on September 28, 2004. The main unresolved issues are listed below. 1. A pond is necessary on the site to treat stormwater prior to draining into the wetland that is partially located on the property. The pond would satisfy the requirements of the NPDES permit governed by the MPCA. The latest plat submittal shows a pond, which the Engineering staff is currently reviewing to determine whether it meets MPCA requirements. Given the date of the revised submittal, comments will not be available prior to delivery of the Planning Commission packets on Friday, September 24, 2004. Comments may be available by September 28, 2004 to present to the Commission at the meeting. 2. As shown on the Existing Conditions page in the attached submittal (page 4 of 5), a shed owned by the property owner to the south is partially located on the Mattson Farm property. This is an issue because grading is proposed in this location. Options to resolve this situation include (1) move the shed off the Mattson Farm property, or (2) the property owner to the south could purchase the portion of property on which the shed is located. . The plat could be approved as submitted if the shed is eventually moved off the Mattson Farm property. If, however, the property owner to the south purchases the land around the shed, the boundary of the plat would change, thereby requiring the plat and grading plan to be modified. Therefore, prior to plat approval, this issue should be resolved to avoid the need to re-plat at a later date. . 3. In addition to the shed, a septic system drain field partially exists on the Mattson Farm property that serves the property to the south. The drain field is located to the west of the shed previously discussed. The same options exist for the drain field as do for the shed. This issue should also be resolved prior to plat approval. ACTION REQUESTED The Planning Commission may: 1. Continue the plat until October 12, 2004 if engineering comments are not available, if issues with the design of the pond still exist, and/or the issues regarding the shed and drain field are not resolved. 2. Recommend approval of the plat if the previous engineering issues have been satisfied and the issues regarding the shed and drain field have been resolved. .

The primary topic of discussion would probably be the growth pressures that the City and the Township are both facing, and the best methods for jointly dealing with related development challenges. For the last 2Y2 years, the City of Farmington and Empire Township have been engaged in regular discussions of the type referred to above. This City/Township discussion group, which was initially called the Empire/Farmington Joint Planning Board, is now referred to as the Empire/Farmington Planning Advisory Committee [EF-PAC]. The EF-PAC consists of three representatives from each jurisdiction - a City Council or Town Board member, a Planning Commission member, and a staff member or consultant. The current members of the EF-PAC are as follows: Empire Town Board member Ed Gerten Empire Planning Commission member Greg Feely Empire Planning Consultant Dean Johnson Farmington City Council member Christy Fogarty Farmington Planning Commission member Todd Larson Farmington Community Development Director Kevin Carroll The City representatives are appointed annually by the City Council, and it is my understanding that the Township representatives are appointed annually by the Town Board. The EF-PAC meets every six weeks or so, and the meeting locations alternate between Farmington City Hall and the Empire Town Hall. Dean Johnson and I take turns preparing and distributing the agendas and the minutes ofthe meetings. I've attached, for reference, a sample of one of our recent agendas. I certainly do not mean to suggest that any future joint meetings between the City of Farmington and Castle Rock Township would have to follow the "EF-PAC model." I have provided information about the EF-PAC group merely to indicate one possible method of conducting productive joint meetings. Many other options exist. Something that works well in one place may not work at all in another. The most important thing is that some form of regular communication takes place. The actual format or structure of the discussion process itself is much less important. I have to attend a Planning Commission meeting in Farmington tonight, so I'm not available to attend the Castle Rock Town Board meeting this evening. However, I would be happy to come to one of your future ~ meetings if your Board members would like to informally discuss the possibility of initiating a series of~ regular Cityffownship meetings. You can contact me by phone or bye-mail to notify me of the date and time of any Town Board meeting that you might want me to attend. If you have other ideas about how we could begin to explore this topic, I'd be happy to hear them. Feel free to call me at your convenience. Thank you for your attention to this matter. 651-463-1860 (w) 651-775-5962 (c) . .'
