Staff forwarded a copy of the plat to the Commission for their review based upon Dakota County's Central Corridor Study and right-of-way needs map. The Commission has recommended that the Developer make provisions for a right-of-way to be dedicated along the northerly boundary of Riverside for an east/west corridor that is stipulated on the Dakota County Road Plat Review Needs map. Presently, the Developer is revising the Riverside Preliminary Plat to address the Dakota County Plat Commission's concerns; therefore, additional review of the plat needs to be performed. Consequently, staff requests that the Riverside Preliminary Plat be continued to the December 11, 2001 Planning Commission meeting to allow for additional review time by the Dakota County Plat Commission. ACTION REOUESTED Continue the Riverside Preliminary Plat review to the December 11, 2001 Planning Commission meeting to allow the Dakota County Plat Commission to review revisions concerning the east/west corridor along the northerly boundary of the plat.

The Charleswood 6th Addition plat identifies three lots that are affected in the property line shift including Lot 1 Block 1, Lot 2 Block 1, and Lot 2 Block 1. The total area of the Charleswood 6th Addition plat is 0.71 acres or 30,779 square feet. Plannine: Division Review Applicant: Steve Juetten Newland Communities 11 000 West 78th Street Suite 201 Eden Prairie, MN 55344 Attachments: 1. 2. Location Map Preliminary Plat Location of Property: Southwestern edge of the Charleswood development along 200th Street. Surrounding Land Uses: Single-family to the north and east, vacant to the south and west, School property to the northwest. Existing Zoning: R-3 (High Density Residential) Comprehensive Plan: Low Density Residential Area Summary: Lot 1 Block 1 = 10,019.7 square feet Lot 1 Block 2 = 10,018.2 square feet Lot 2 Block 1 = 10,467.5 square feet . Current Land Use: Platted Single-Family lots Proposed Land Use: Single-Family Residential DISCUSSION The Charleswood 6th Addition is a replat of the Charleswood 4th Addition (see attached) due to a property line adjustment with the property owned by Bob Donnelly to the west of the plat. A fence owned by Bob Donnelly currently exists on the Charleswood property owned by Newland Communities, Since the fence has existed over 7 years on the property owned by Newland Communities, Minnesota State Statute allows an adverse possession to take place. Therefore, the Charleswood 4th Addition plat needs to be replatted to take into account the fence line owned by Bob Donnelly. The property line on the Charleswood 4th Addition plat has moved approximately 2 to 4 feet to the east in the rear lots of Lot 1 Block 1, Lot 1 Block 2, and on the side lot of Lot 2 Block 1. ACTION REQUESTED Recommend approval of the Charleswood 6th Addition Preliminary and Final Plat and forward the recommendation to the City Council: . ~ji:d;? ~ Lee Smick, AICP Planning Coordinator cc: Steve Juetten, Newland Communities . . . .

Preliminary Plat Application 2, Location Map 3, Middle Creek Estates Preliminary Plat 4. Plat Attachments Located south of the Pine Knoll neighborhood and west of Akin Road (behind existing single-family residents). . . . Area Bounded By: Single-family residents and an abandoned cemetery to the north, single-family and wetland to the east, a DNR protected wetland to the west and a large single-family estate and Middle Creek to the south. Existing Zoning: R-3 PUD - High Density Residential Planned Unit Development Existing Conditions: The property is mainly wooded with a mix of mature trees and thick underbrush. Wetlands are located to the east, west and portions of the south (along the Middle Creek tributary), Topography: The site climbs from Akin Road to the west, the site has a peek elevation of 940 feet with two knob hills forming a small ridge between the two wetlands. The site then slopes to the east, west and south toward each low lying area. Wetlands/Setbacks: A DNR Protect wetland is located to the west - 75 foot required buffer yard; a Protect I wetland is located to the east - a 50 foot average, 30 foot minimum required, Lot Coverage and Sizes: The maximum lot coverage for an R-3 PUD Single-family zone is 25%. The minimum lot size for the development is 10,000 sq. ft, The minimum lot width is 75 feet measured at the front yard setback. All lots within the proposed plat meet minimum lot width and size. Streets and Accesses: The plat consists of only a 1,410 foot long cul-de-sac stemming from Akin Road which then stems south toward Middle Creek (see attached variance memo). Sidewalks: No sidewalk or trail is proposed as part of the plan. Staff is requiring a sidewalk on one side of the street as required on twenty-eight (28) foot wide streets. Parkland and Trails: Parkland is proposed in the south/southwest portion of the plat. Staff is requesting that the wetland itself be outlot' ed and gifted as a conservation area, with the remainder of the property to the south be park space. The Park & Recreation Division requests that a trail be placed between Lots 1 & 2, Block 2 to eventually lead to the park. DISCUSSION The applicants, DR Horton and Arcon Development, are seeking Preliminary Plat approval for the 26 single-family lot Middle Creek Estates plat; the plat is a part of the overall Middle Creek Planned Unit Development. The developers have indicated that because this property has a high aesthetic value due to the natural terrain and features that the housing within this development would likely be within the $300,000 to $500,000+ range. . . . The plat is located directly south of the Pine Knoll neighborhood and west of Akin Road, situated on top of a wooded ridge line that slopes toward two wetlands and the Middle Creek tributary, The development will be secluded with only one proposed access off of Akin Road that forms a 1,410 foot long cul-de-sac (see attached variance application). A road access and land swap arrangement has been worked out between Michael & Patricia Haley to swap a comer of their property with Outlot B, located behind their property. Development of this site is anticipated to begin this spring. Area Summary of Plat The following is a summary of the acreages for each area: Total Area Total Lot Area Total Outlot Area Total Right-of- Way Largest Lot Area Smallest Lot Area Average Lot Area Gross Density Net Density 40.7428 acres 11.2115 acres 27.1774 acres 2.3539 acres 35,127 square feet 12,150 square feet 18,783 square feet 1.95 Units/acre 2.32 Units/acre Transportation The developer is proposing a secluded single-family lot development with a single access offofAkin Road; no other future stub streets are planned. The Hansen property, located to the southeast, is currently a large lot estate with no pending development plans. The Hansen property also contains a large amount of flood zone that is located on the south half of the property and disects the property in half (see attached map). Any future road access to serve the Hansen property could possibly be stubbed through Outlot I to serve the buildable area, ultimately creating a longer cul-de-sac. The alternative road access to serve the Hansen property would need to come directly off of Akin Road, creating another long cul-de-sac and creating a staggered road alignment beginning at 208th Street to the proposed Middle Creek Estates access. Wetland Requirements Wetlands are located on three sides ofthe proposed plat. A MN DNR protect wetland is located to the west that requires a minimum seventy-five (75) foot buffer. A Manage 1 wetland is located to the east of the plat, allowing an average buffer of fifty (50) feet and requiring a minimum thirty (30) foot buffer. Also a Manage 2 wetland is located along the southern edge of the plat but should not impact any of the platted lots. The minimum structure setback from all the above buffer areas is ten (10) feet. Another small wetland, identified as wetland #2, located on the north side of the plat and south of the entrance access, will be impacted by the development. John Smyth, Bonestroo Rosene Anderlik & Associates Engineering, has reviewed the impact and forwarded the following comments. As part of the Development Contract, the developer will be responsible for the installation of wetland and conservation identification signage, . Engineering Comments The primary development issues from the Engineering Division involve the following: 1. The developer should realign the driveway of the existing home located to the north of the access to Akin Road in order to access from the proposed roadway. This will allow a safer turning lane into the development; 2. The developer needs to determine where wetland mitigation will occur for the impacts on wetland #2; 3. Additional fire protection coverage should be added for Lots 13 and 14, Block 2 to cover the minimum 225-foot radius from hydrants. See attached letter dated October 22, 2001, from Lee Mann, Public Works Director/City Engineer to Keith Willenbring, Pioneer Engineering. Park & Recreation Comments The Park & Recreation Division is requesting a trail be placed between Lots 1 & 2, Block 2 to allow for access to the future park space south and west of the proposed plat. Staff is also requesting that a sidewalk be constructed on one side of the street per City standard plates for roadways that are 28-feet or less. Public Safety Comments Ken Kuchera, Fire Chief, completed review of the proposed preliminary plat for public safety and . forwarded the following comments: 1. The diameter of the cul-de-sac turn around needs to 100 feetin order to allow appropriate turning radius for fire apparatus; 2. The proposed center island within the cul-de-sac presents an obstacle to turn around; elimination of the center island is strongly encouraged; 3. The proposed 3D-foot back-to-back roadway is too narrow to maneuver, especially if parking is allowed on one side of the street. Recommendation is to restrict on-street parking if width is to remain at 3D-feet or increase the road width to 34-feet; 4. Hydrant coverage is not met between the first and second hydrants, City staff has determined that the developer meets the minimum street width and design requirements. Parking will be restricted to one side of the street, allowing for a twenty (20) foot wide drive lane. It is staffs opinion that on-street parking will be minimal within this development due to the likelihood that most of the homes will have three (3) stall garages with additional parking within the driveway, Heritage Preservation Commission Comments The Planning Division forwarded a copy of the proposed plat to the Heritage Preservation Commission because the plat abutted an abandoned cemetery that was potentially a heritage landmark site. Robert Vogel, Preservation Planning Consultant, forwarded the following comments (a copy of the letter and Heritage Preservation minutes is attached): . 1. Cemeteries are deemed eligible for designation as Farmington Heritage Landmarks; 2. Determine ownership of the cemetery; . 3, The developer should provide public access to the cemetery in the form of a dedicated trailway or easement; 4. Develop a preservation plan for the cemetery site and require the developer to stake the property comers and establish appropriate fencing for protection of the property, Staff has determined that the Farmington Presbyterian Church currently owns the property; the Heritage Preservation Commission is considering accepting the property as a historic site. Also, staff has determined that access to the property can be gained through existing City property located on Eaves Way and the dedicated Outlot A. Comments from External Agencies MN DNR, summary of comments (a copy ofthe letter is attached): 1. The volume of traffic generated from the plat does not seem to warrant a 30-foot wide road or a 100-foot cul-de-sac and would recommend reducing the amount of impervious surface within the development; 2. Overland sheet drainage and use of swales should be considered to allow for the removal of sediment and nutrients and provide the opportunity for evaporation and some amount of infiltration to occur; 3. Resident education about the importance of wetlands is stressed (staff currently is working on wetland information to be distributed to property owners abutting wetlands along with the placement of wetland buffer signs). City staff has discussed the comments from the MN DNR and feels the developer is meeting all . required street design and storm sewer standards as specified within the City's Standard Templates. Dakota County Soil and Water Conservation District forwarded comments and recommendations pertaining to site design and erosion control; none of the comments appear to affect the plat itself (a copy of the letter is attached). ACTION REQUESTED Consider approval of Middle Creek Estates Preliminary Plat and forward the recommendation to the City Council contingent upon the following: 1. All Engineering comments are addressed as given within the letter dated October 22, 2001 from Lee Mann, Public Works Director/City Engineer that include: 1. The developer should realign the driveway of the existing home located to the north of the access to Akin Road in order to access from the proposed roadway. This will allow a safer turning lane into the development; II, The developer needs to determine where wetland mitigation will occur for the impacts on wetland #2; lll. Additional fire protection coverage should be added for Lots 13 and 14, Block 2 to cover the minimum 225-foot radius from hydrants. . 2. The developer address all comments given in within a letter dated October 30, 2001 from Lee Smick, Planning Coordinator that include: . . . 1. H. Ul. IV. v. Outlot A be split into wetland area and parkland dedication; A Conservation Easement be dedicated to protect the vegitation; Require a tree inventory to determine removal limits of trees on the property; Require a sidewalk on one side of the 28-foot wide street; Additional landscaping be required surrounding the storm water management pond in Outlot G; 3. The Parks & Recreation Division recommends a trail be installed between Lots I & 2, Block 2 within the 20-foot wide drainage & utility easement; 4. The developer address comments from the Heritage Preservation Commission involving the identification and protection ofthe Presbyterian Cemetery; Respectfully submitted, Michael Schultz Associate Planner cc: Larry Frank, Arcon Development, Inc.

The following concerns need to be addressed: 1. This plan to my knowledge is a first for our city. The distance of the roadway to the dead end cul-de-sac is approximately 1500 feet. We have driven our apparatus to the new Middle Creek East addition to compare and determine roadway width and turning radius needed. The minumun roadway (blacktop) cul-de-sac diameter needs to be 100 feet. The plan does not indicate that diameter. My understanding is the curbs are the sloped style. This cannot be figured into the roadway diameter distance required. The winter season will reduce the roadway diameter of the cul-de-sac. 2. The center island of the cul-de-sac presents another obstacal for us to manuver around. A structure fire response will require bath of our class A pumpers, n:'ini pumper and fire/rescue unit. The combination of one of our pumpers setup at the cul-de-sac hydrant and the center Island presents a real challenge for us to get our apparatus turned around to position and or exit the cul-de-sac. The illimination of the center island is strongly recommended. 3. The roadway width is proposed at 30 feet. This is to narrow for us to manuver especially when on street parking is allowed even on one side of the street. Our class A apparatus width from outside mirror to outside mirror exceeds 10 feet. With on street parking it would be questionable if one apparatus meeting the other could pass. The proposed width of the roadway is acceptable if NO on street parking is allowed and signage is in place to reflect that. If not, the roadway width needed is 34 feet. 4. The hydrant to hydrant distances are acceptable with one exception. The first hydrant distance from center of Akin Road measures a distance of approximately 200 feet. The distance to the next hydrant is 450 feet. Another hydrant will be required to reduce the 450 foot distance not to exceed 300 feet. Consider this e-mail as my review and comments. Don't hesitate to contact me with any questions. Respectfully, .n Kuchera e Chief . 1 . . . MEMORANDUM 1 October 2001 TO: Michael Schultz, Associate Planner FR: Robert Vogel, Preservation Planning Consultant RE: Review of Middle Creek Estates Preliminary Plat Thank you for the opportunity to review and comment on the preliminary plans for the proposed Middle Creek Estates subdivision. I have consulted the city's inventory of historic resources and there are no recorded historic buildings or archeological sites within the platted area. The small rural cemetery that abuts the north boundary of the platted area is considered historic, although it lies outside the geographic area covered by previous surveys of historic sites conducted .under the auspices of the Heritage Preservation Commission. Cemeteries are a type of historic property deemed eligible for designation as Farmington Heritage Landmarks. The city has adopted standards for the preservation of historic properties affected by development projects. In this case, planning for the preservation of the cemetery needs to focus on identification and documentation of its historic characteristics, as well as safeguarding the site against possible adverse impacts from development activities. I recommend the following historic preservation actions with respect to the preservation, protection and use of the cemetery: 1. Determine ownership of the cemetery. (Abandoned cemeteries are usually assumed to be owned by the city.) 2. Require the developer to provide public access to the cemetery in the form of a dedicated trailway or easement. This should be a condition of plat approval. 3. Develop a preservation plan for the cemetery that delineates its distinctive historic features (markers, vegetation, etc.) and identifies a program of site protection and maintenance. Developer financial participation in the cemetery preservation plan should be considered as a condition of plat approval. I have based my recommendations upon the goals and policies contained in the Historic Preservation Element of the Farmington 2020 Comprehensive Plan Update, and on the Secretary of the Interior's Standards for the Treatment of Historic Properties. If you have any questions about the preservation issues raised in this. memorandum, or if the Planning Division requires technical assistance on preservation planning matters, please do not hesitate to contact me by phone (604-0175) or e-mail (rcvogel@earthlink.net). . . . · Possibility of Linking with Church of the Advent Web site. · Educate Realtors in how they market Historical Homes in Fannington .

Minnesota Department of Natural Resources October 17, 2001 Mr. Michael Schultz City of Farmington 325 Oak Street Farmington, MN 55024 Re: Review of the Paramilitary Plat for Middle Creek Estates . Dear Mike: I have reviewed the set of plans for the Preliminary Plat of the above-mentioned site. I have a few comments that I would like to be taken into consideration for this proposed project before the plat is approved. At this point the project plans do not take into consideration any alternative site designs for stormwater management. The following list outlines areas where design changes could be made to minimize the potentially adverse impacts from this development. 1, The street for this development is currently designed to end in a cul-de-sac, The volume of traffic generated from the 26 homes does not seem to warrant a 30' wide road or a 100' diameter cul-de- sac. A narrower cross section would help to significantly reduce the amount of impervious surface within the development. 2, The design also includes the use of curb and gutters with stormwater being piped to stormwater ponds. There are opportunities on this site to slow runoff and reduce the stormwater volume with simple design changes, The design for the roadbed retains some of the slope that currently exists on the site, With the elimination of curb and gutters the stormwater could be directed as sheet flow onto the 25' front yard set backs and then designed to move as overland flow towards the stormwater ponds (some piping may be necessary to move the water from the east to the stormwater ponds on the west side). Allowing the stormwater to be conveyed in open swales would allow for the removal of sediment and nutrients and provide the opportunity for evaporation and some amount of infiltration to occur. .

Another consideration to be IlJade is to inform residents about the functions and importance of the wetland buffers on their property, As the design for this development moves forward, a way to keep residents permanently informed about the wetland buffer easements should be implemented. The incorpora1;ion of innovative approaches to stormwater management can improve the aesthetics of the development while helping to protect the quality of water and habitat in the adjacent wetlands. Thank you for the opportunity to review this plan.

DAKOTA COUNTY SOIL AND WATER CONSERVATION DISTRICT Dakota County Extension and Conservation Center 4100 220th Street West, Suite 102 Farmington, MN 55024 Phone: (651) 480-7777 FAX: (651) 480-7775 www.dakotaswcd.org October 9, 2001 Mr. Michael Schultz Associate Planner City of Farmington 325 Oak Street Fannington, MN 55024 Ref.: 00-FRM-037 RE: REVIEW OF THE PRELIMINARY GRADING PLA."! FOR THE MIDDLE CREEK ESTATES Dear Mike: The Dakota County Soil and Water Conservation District (SWCD) has reviewed the Preliminary Grading Plan for the above-mentioned site. This project entails 26 single-family lots on approximately 40.7 acres. Approximately 0.27 acres of permitted wetland fill is proposed. The following report summarizes the proposed erosion controls and submits additional erosion control recommendations. We observed the.following'erosion-and sediment controls on the plans: . 1. Silt fence at the grading limits. 2. One stormwater pond. 3. Some erosion control details. We have the following comments and recommendations regarding site design and erosion control: . 1. If grading is scheduled to start this fall, it is critical to plan how the site will be stabilized before weather prohibits effective erosion control. Note the following: a. All exposed areas should be seeded and mulched before the Nov. 15 dormant seeding deadline. b. No areas should be left exposed over the winter. 2. All graded slopes tributary to wetlands should be brought to final grade and stabilized imnlt:waidy. 3. Construct the permanent stormwater ponds first to use as temporary sediment basins. Install a riser or similar device to enhance sediment trapping efficiency and a controlled overflow structure. 4. Place double rows of revised Mn/DOT heavy duty silt fence to protect the site's wetlands (outside of the proposed buffers and about 6 feet apart) in the following locations: a. Between the proposed stormwater pond and Pond F-P7.14 b. Lot 11 of Block 1 c. Lot 6 of Block 2 5. Stabilize all 3: 1 and steeper slopes with erosion blanket or equivalent. Show the location of these areas on the plan. Require that once these areas are exposed, they are finish-graded and stabilized promptly. 6. Install all silt fence on-contour. Cross-contour silt fence tends to concentrate runoff and cause silt fence failures. Install I-hooks on silt fence that must go downslope. 7. Show the location and type of energy dissipation devices at all storm sewer outfalls. 8. Show the location and type of check dams in areas of concentrated flow. Do not use hay bales. AN EQUAL OPPORTUNITY EMPLOYER Middle Creek Estates OO-FRM-037 2 . 9. Show the location of the rock construction entrance. 10. Include notes regarding NPDES permit requirements on the plan, including inspection and maintenance timing. 11. Include locations and specification of all erosion controls on the plan. 12. Additional controls may be deemed necessary during construction to protect the onsite wetlands. Thank you for the opportunity to review this plan. Because the sites will disturb more than five acres, a National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) General Stormwater Permit is required. Good implementation, consistent monitoring, and maintenance of all erosion control measures are important to minimize erosion on this construction site.

City of Farmington 325 Oak Street, Farmington, MN 55024 (651) 463-7111 Fax (651) 463-2591 www.ci.farmington.mn.us TO: City Planning Commission FROM: Michael Schultz I < Associate Planner \Jl SUBJECT: Consider Subdivision Variance Request - Middle Creek Estates Plat DATE: November 13, 2001 INTRODUCTION The applicants, DR Horton, Inc. and Arcon Development, Inc., are seeking approval of a nine hundred and ten (910) foot variance to the 500-foot maximum allowed under Section 11-4-3 (B) of the City Code, DISCUSSION The length of the 1,410 foot cul-de-sac, as proposed as part of the Middle Creek Estates plat, is measured from the curb line of the intersecting street at Akin Road to the center radius at the end of the cul-de-sac. Section 11-4-3: Streets & Alleys (B) Local Streets And Dead-End Streets: Local streets should be so planned as to discourage their use by nonlocal traffic. Dead-end streets are prohibited, but cul-de-sacs shall be permitted where topography or other physical conditions justifY their use, Cul-de-sacs shall not be longer than five hundred feet (500'), including a terminal turnaround which shall be provided at the closed end, with a right-of-way radius of not less than sixty feet (60'). The lots in cul-de-sacs shall be arranged in a manner which anticipates snow removal. The proposed cul-de-sac, stubbed to the west of Akin Road, is situated between two wetlands, the Middle Creek tributary and existing residential development. The topography of the land rises from Akin Road up to two knob hill's that forms a low ridge line running toward Middle Creek. To the north of the proposed plat is the Pine Knoll neighborhood, a road access was never stubbed out to the property to the south mainly due to an abandoned cemetery and the topography of the land. To the east of the proposed plat are large single-family lots that restrict and additional accesses other than what is proposed off of Akin Road. Also located to the east is a Manage 1 type wetland. Located to the west is a MN DNR Protect wetland that runs the entire . . . length of the proposed plat. To the south is the Middle Creek tributary and Manage 2 type wetlands. The Hansen property, located in the southeast comer of the end of the cul-de-sac may allow for the cul-de-sac to be extended to the property through Outlot I, but because the location of current and proposed road accesses, this may cause a staggered road access effect along Akin Road if the Hansen property were to ever develop. The developers are proposing to loop the water main service within the plat through the future park space and to the future north/south road within the Middle Creek PUD. The Planning Commission recommended approval of a variance request on August 8, 2000 to exceed the 500-foot maximum cul-de-sac length code requirement for two cul-de-sacs, up to 115 feet, for the Vermillion Grove development. Section 10-8-6 Variances states: The Board of Acijustment shall have the power to vary from the requirements of this Title, and to attach conditions to the variance as it deems necessary to assure compliance with the purpose of this Title. (A) Literal enforcement of this Title would result in undue hardship with respect to the property, Response: The property is virtually land locked at this time due to existing developments and natural features. (B) Such unnecessary hardship results because of circumstances unique to the property. Response: The Fire Chief has reviewed the plat containing the cul-de-sac length and determined that if the cul-de-sac has an unobstructed lane of traffic 20 feet in width and an adequate turnaround radius (lOO-foot radius is minimum, the Fire Chief is requesting either removal of the center island or a wider radius for larger apparatus). (C) The hardship is caused by provisions of this Title and is not the result of actions of persons presently having an interest in the property. Response: Section 11-4-3 (B) of the City Code restricts the length of cul-de-sacs to 500 feet in length. (D) The variance observes the spirit and intent of this Title, produces substantial justice and is not contrary to the public interest. Response: Without the possibility of a variance to the length of cul-de-sac the developer would be severely limited in the development of the property. Alternatives would be to plan for a future access through the Hansen property or to construct a road through the easterly wetland to a small access point (see attached map). . . . (E) The variance does not permit a lower degree of flood protection than the flood protection elevation for the particular area or permit standards lower than required by State law. Response: The proposed plat and cul-de-sac will not permit a lower degree of flood protection. ACTION REQUESTED Staff recommends approval of the variance to allow for the construction of a 1,41 O-foot cul-de- sac as part of the proposed Middle Creek Estates Preliminary Plat based on the findings as outlined in the City Code.

FROM: SUBJECT: Consider Resolution - Meadow Creek Preliminary Plat DATE: August 20, 2001 INTRODUCTION At the August 6, 2001 City Council meeting, the Council made a recommendation to continue the Meadow Creek Preliminary Plat review to the August 20, 2001 meeting in order to allow the Developer to propose an alternative solution to the traffic impact concerns expressed by both the Council and the residents in the Prairie Creek development. Additionally, the Developer agreed to hold a neighborhood meeting with the residents once a revision was proposed and reviewed by City staff. DISCUSSION The Developer and City staff reviewed the revision proposed by the Developer to the preliminary plat on August 8, 2001 and proceeded to hold a neighborhood meeting to present the revisions to the residents on August 13,2001. Meeting notices were sent to all households located on 187th Street from Pilot Knob Road to the west property line of Meadow Creek, all residents located on Easton Avenue and all residents located on Eaglewood Trail. A total of eleven residents were in attendance at the neighborhood meeting, five from 187th Street, four from Easton Avenue and two from English Avenue. The revisions consist of proposing Eaglewood Trail as a continuous street through the Meadow Creek development, beginning at Embers Avenue on the east and terminating at 19Sth Street to the south in the future. The City's traffic engineer, Shelly Johnson, proposes that Eaglewood Trail be classified as a minor collector at this location. Eaglewood Trail currently exists as a 38-foot wide paved roadway with a 60-foot wide right-of- way in Prairie Creek. The Developer proposes to continue the 38-foot wide pavement through the Meadow Creek development, however City staff recommends that the right-of way be widened to 70 feet in the Meadow Creek development in order to allow for a sidewalk along the proposed minor collector. At this time, it is uncertain as to the location of the sidewalk, however, these details will be verified in the construction plans and finalized before final plat approval. The revision to 18ib Street consisted of terminating the street at Eaglewood Trail rather than requiring 187th Street to be a continuous route to 19Sth Street to the south in the future. Therefore, 187th Street will intersect with Eaglewood Trail in the Meadow Creek development. Shelly Johnson has recommended that 187th Street from Embers Avenue to Eaglewood Trail remain classified as a local street. However, from Embers Avenue to Pilot Knob Road, Mr. Johnson recommends that 18ih Street be classified as a minor collector because of the functionality of the street and the carrying capacity of the roadway. . Traffic Counts . . As shown on the attached information, the revision to the preliminary plat has revised the traffic counts on both l87th Street and Eaglewood Trail. In the original concept, 187th Street showed a projected traffic daily volume of 2,030, In the revised concept, the traffic count on 187th Street has been reduced to a 1,300 projected daily volume. Eaglewood Trail originally showed a projected daily volume of 170; whereas in the revised concept, Eaglewood Trail now shows a projected daily volume of 870. Additionally, Mr, Johnson proposes 40 trips per day north and south on Embers Avenue south of Eaglewood Trail, while 395 trips per day will be generated north and south between Eaglewood Trail and 18ih Street. He also projects that 520 trips per day will run east and west along 187th Street between Embers Avenue and Pilot Knob Road and 250 trips per day will continue both north and south north of 187th Street on Embers A venue. Residents Questions The residents had a number of questions at the neighborhood meeting. Numerous questions concerned the construction traffic (i.e, temporary stop signs and/or slow speed signs) and proposed routes that may be utilized to service the Meadow Creek development Detailed conversations concerning these issues need to be discussed with the Developer. However, these issues will be concluded before the grading and construction plans are approved and any grading commences on the site. The residents were also interested in obtaining traffic counts on Embers A venue from prior traffic studies in order to make a comparison to future counts on 187th Street. The City is currently reviewing this information to determine if counts were taken on Embers A venue and they will be made available to the residents as soon as possible. Residents questioned whether the City would require a sidewalk along 187th Street in the Prairie Creek subdivision since the street would be reclassified as a minor collector. At the meeting, staff reiterated that the City would begin reviewing the possibility of installing a sidewalk only if the residents petitioned for a sidewalk. They also questioned whether a crosswalk could be located on l87th Street near the park to slow traffic and allow pedestrians to cross from the south side of 18ih Street to proceed to the Lake Julia Park. Shelly Johnson stated that the City only installs crosswalks at intersections of streets and since there is a lack of an intersection in this location, he would recommend against the crosswalk. He would recommend to the placement of park signs reminding vehicles to slow down near parks. The residents also asked Mr. Johnson if the reclassification of 187th Street as a minor collector would make it easier to gain stop signs at intersections along 1 87th Street. Mr. Johnson stated that because the street would be reclassified as a minor collector, the street would function differently than a local street by carrying more traffic and the reclassification carries more "political clout" to assist in making a positive recommendation to approving a stop sign on a minor collector if it meets warrants. Finally, the residents asked that as the east/west collectors such as 195th Street were extended and connected to Trunk Highway 3 in the future, if this would reduce some of the traffic on l87th Street and Eaglewood Trail. Mr. Johnson stated that as more roads are built in the area, traffic counts would be reduced because additional routes could be utilized. Revised Meadow Creek Preliminary Plat The Developer proposes to plat 178 single-family lots on 159.35 acres in the first phase of Meadow Creek. Erik Peters of Bonestroo has reviewed the preliminary plat and has recommended a revised lot layout of the plan to assist in insuring the storm water and pond design will be adequate for the development As shown on . the recommended plan by Mr. Peters, he proposes that additional lots be removed from the plan. Further discussions with the Developer will need to commence in order to determine the final design of the storm water pond design, however, no additional lots over 178 may be allowed in the first phase if the Meadow Creek Preliminary Plat is approved. Only a reduction in lots may occur from the approved plat. The condition to plat approval concerning the need for a variance to the cul-de-sac length has been dismissed because the cul-de-sac has been eliminated due to the reconfiguration of Eaglewood Trail as a continuous roadway through the development. ACTION REQUESTED Consider the attached resolution approving the Meadow Creek Preliminary Plat contingent upon the following items: 1. The Developer seeks a variance to the minimum lot width for two lots on the preliminary plat before approval of the final plat. 2. Any required revisions to easements and all engineering comments from the June 27, 2001 memo that are relevant to the preliminary plat need to be addressed on the plat. 3. Require corrections and improvements to the grading and drainage problems in Prairie Creek 4th Addition and restore the affected properties. 4. Require the review of the storm water and pond design as recommended by engineering.

DISCUSSION Staff researched several communities who have adopted or control off-street storage. of recreational vehicles. Currently the City of Farmington does not have an ordinance specifically relating to the storage of recreational vehicles, The City does have a loosely defined provision that all off-street parking areas must be paved, see Section below 10-6-8 (A) 2. Any off-street parking lot and driveway shall be graded for proper drainage and surfaced with concrete or bituminous material. Attached is a matrix of area communities that have such provisions. Also attached are pictures of examples of storage of recreational vehicles within the community. ACTION REQUESTED Discuss and direct staff at possible options relating to the issue of recreational vehicle storage. Respectfully Sub ~ rvIichael Schultz Associate Planner . . . .,' . >::"'~ .

Recreational vehicles may be stored outdoors in the Agricultural or Residential zoning districts of the city. Any RV's in commercial zoning districts must be stored inside a building. · All parking must be on a paved surface such as, concrete, bituminous, or pavers. The parking surface must be large enough to accommodate the size of the vehicle being stored, not just under the tires of the vehicle, the same as your driveway. · Before installing any parking surface, submit a drawing for your site with measurements to the planning or engineering divisions for review. Permits are not routinely required for driveways, but in some instances may be necessary. City staff can also advise you of any other conflicts or problems relating to city code to avoid further inconvenience for you. I.e.: maximum paved surface percentage, or curb cut width issues, . · Recreational Vehicles, boats, and trailers may not be stored in the front yard, or driveway area of a residence. · RV's may be stored on the side ofa residence, behind the front line of the residence. They must be setback 5 feet from the property line between residences. If the R V is being stored on the street side of a corner lot the parking area must be setback 30 feet from the property line. · It is also permissible to park R V's in the rear yard, on a paved surface, if access is available. · There are also utility easement lines to be considered. No parking is allowed on utility easements, except where the permitted main driveway of your home crosses the utility easement near the .curb. . If a resident were to pave over a utility easement and repairs to the utilities were necessary there \vould be no reimbursement for damage to the paved area caused by the repairs. The resident would be required to remove all paving from over the easement area. · See the back of this page for drawings with examples of common R V parking areas.
