Lots 3 & 4, Block 9, Dakota County Estates 9th Addition
~
,
,
Lot Sizes:
Lot 3 = 49,044 square feet
Lot 4 = 49,718 square feet
Total Lot Area = 98,762 square feet*
* Includes Pilot Knob Road Right-of-way easement = 5,991
Building Area:
Each building is proposed to contain 8,767 square feet of retail
space.
Off-Street Parking:
128 Standard parking stalls + 3 Handicap parking stalls. The
developer is requesting approval through the PUD agreement
process to deviate from the required 10-foot parking lot setback
to an 8-foot parking lot setback as measured from the right-of-
way easement.
Existing Zoning:
R-4 PUD - Mixed Code Residential, Planned Unit Development
Existing Conditions:
The property is currently vacant.
Surrounding Land Uses:
Townhomes and Single-family residents to the east, existing
commercial to the north and south, multi-family (Cameron
Woods) to the west.
Topography:
The site sits slightly below the grade of Pilot Knob Road and
slightly above the grade of English Ave.
Streets and Accesses:
English Ave will be the only street that will serve as access to
the site. The developer is proposing one (1) shared access with
the Akin Hills Vet Clinic and two (2) additional accesses for a
total of three (3) accesses serving the two lots (Akin Hills Vet
Clinic currently has two (2) shared accesses at the property
lines).
Sidewalks:
A sidewalk is proposed along the west side of English Ave.
connecting from Super America to the Akin Hills Vet Clinic
property (one segment will remain on the north lot on English
Ave and Upper 1 83Td Street).
Parkland and Trails:
A trail currently exists along the east side of Pilot Knob Road.
Parkland has already been dedicated as part of the Dakota
County Estates development.
Pilot Knob Road Right-of-
Way Easement:
A fifteen (15) foot right-of-way easement exists on the west side
of the two lots that resulted from the Pilot Knob Road project.
As indicated in previous commercial developments, all
measurements must be taken from the right-of-way easement
instead of the property line in anticipation of any future road
projects. An eight (8) foot wide bikepath encroaches 1.14 feet
into the easement.

Proposed Sienage
Pylon Signage:
Two (2) pylon sIgns each 150 square feet in area located
separately on each lot. Each sign will be 26 feet in height. The
tenant copy area is 30 square feet.
The pylon signs are proposed to be placed 10 feet from the right-
of-way easement (or 25 feet from the west property line); this is
an encroachment of forty (40) feet from the required fifty (50)
foot front yard setback for pylon signs.
Wall Signage:
Permitted wall signage is 10% for properties that contain wall
and pylon signage. A maximum of 200 square feet for each
building, divided proportionately among the tenants of each
building.
DISCUSSION
The developer, Jon Einess of Schwiness, LLC, is seeking approval of a PUD Agreement for the proposed
retail center located on Lots 3 & 4, Block I, Dakota County Estates 9th Addition. (The developer currently
owns Lot 4 and has a purchase agreement on Lot 3 in which he will exercise when the PUD Agreement is
approved at the City Council). The proposed buildings would contain a total of 17,534 square feet of
retail space (8,767 square feet each) and contain 4 to 6 tenants in each space.
Allowable Uses/Conditional Uses
Under the PUD agreement the below listed land uses would be permitted within the. commercial
development. Any other land uses not specified within the PUD Agreement but are listed within the B-1
(Limited Business) Zoning District must seek a Conditional Use Permit to be approved by the Planning
Commission and the City Council. Any other uses not currently listed in either the PUD Agreement or
within the B-1 zoning district must seek either a PUD Agreement amendment and/or amendment to the B-
I zoning district.
a. Retail Facilities
b. Restaurants and fast food restaurants so long as the fast food restaurants are not free standing,
are tenants in the shopping center on the Subject Property, and do not have a drive through
lane.
c. Coffee Shops
d. Health Club
e. Offices
f. Personal and Professional Services, including financial services

Site Design
The retail site has been designed in a fashion that the two buildings would be facing each other instead of
facing Pilot Knob Road. The developer is proposing this design for two purposes; to avoid a single
elongated "strip mall" design and the concept that the businesses will complement each better with the
appearance that they are closer proximity to each other. The layout design offers a "market" environment
with scaled down buildings that share architectural design elements and easy access parking.
Building Design
The developer is proposing two identical buildings that will be constructed of brick, two colors of
concrete block (one fonning a color band around the top third of the buildings), stucco and large glass
storefront windows. The building's front and side fa~ades will contain approximately 10% brick.
Colored awnings overhanging the front walkway are also proposed, breaking up the front fa~ade.
Floor Plan
Four (4) tenant spaces are currently shown on the floor plan" each measuring 30' 6" in width by 70' 8" in
depth totaling 2,155 square feet. The size of these spaces will be adjustable to. meet the needs of the
tenant, this may allow for more or less than the four tenants currently shown in each building.
Parking Lot/Access
A total of 128 standard parking stalls and 3 handicap stalls are proposed to accommodate the needed
parking. The developer has indicated the national standard is 1 stall per 200 square feet (1/200) of retail
space. The proposed number of stalls would equate to I stall per 134 square feet (1/134) of building
space.
Because of the various uses that are permissible (i.e. restaurant, office, retail, service oriented, etc), and
the varied minimum parking standards given with the City Code, the total number of spaces required is
difficult to calculate. City parking guidelines requires 1/200 for retail, 1/250 for professional office, 1/75
for sit down restaurants and 1/15 for fast food establishments.
Vehicular access for the development will be limited to English Ave with no access permitted from Pilot
Knob Road. There are three proposed ingress/egress driveways; one (1) shared driveway access with the
Akin Hills V et Clinic/Anchor Bank building along the property line. Two (2) additional accesses are
spaced at the property line of the Lots 3 and 4 and the south end of Lot 4. The Super America site has
one access from English and another off Elk Ridge Trail.
'I
,
,
,
The developer has requested a minor modification in the requirement for parking lot setback as allowed
under the PUD Agreement process. City Code requires a minimum setback of ten (10) feet from the
property line for parking lots to allow for a landscaped yard. The developer is proposing an eight (8) foot
setback as measured from the right-of-way easement or twenty-three (23) feet from the west property line.
This would be a modification of two (2) feet in the required setback if approved.
Lighting
The developer is proposing six light standards positioned around the parking lot. Four (4) of the
standards are located around the outer perimeter of the parking lot (two on the west side and two on the
east side). Two (2) additional standards are proposed within the center island of the project. The
standards will be "shoe box" design with the lighting directed downward to minimize spill.
The developer is also proposing wall mounted light fixtures along the north, south and west walls of the
buildings (the easterly wall was excluded due to the proximity of the residential housing across English
Ave.). Three (3) wall mounts are proposed along the fronts, two (2) along the rear walls and one (1) on
the west sides of the buildings.
There will also be natural spill from the interior of the buildings through the large glass windows
positioned in the front of the buildings.
Landscaping
City Code requires a minimum of 10% landscape area within the B-1 zoning district (Section 10-6-14 (E)
5); The developer is proposing a total landscaped area of 18% of the site, this includes the fifteen (15)
foot right-of-easement; excluding this area it is still almost 13% of the site area.
The developer is proposing a three (3) foot landscaped berm on the east side of the development that will
provide screening for the residents living on the east side of English Ave. The berm will contain thirteen
(13) Colorado Spruce to provide screening from the parking area (this is similar to what was provided on
both the Vet Clinic and Super America sites).
The west perimeter of the parking area will also contain two varieties of crab trees (11 total), three (3)
Marshall's Seedless Ash are proposed along the south property line and three (3) Norway Maple's are
positioned near the accesses. A variety of bushes, spirea and daylilly flowers are proposed within the
landscaped parking islands.
Garbage Enclosures
Two (2) 14' wide x 11' deep garbage enclosures are proposed, one located behind each building. The
enclosures will be constructed of the same materials of the building and will be secured by a wrought iron
gate. The Solid Waste Division has reviewed the proposed locations of the enclosures and found no
issues with the location of the structures.
Signage
The developer is proposing both wall and pylon signage as part of the project. Two (2) 150 square foot
pylon signs are proposed, one to be placed on each lot. The height of the proposed signs will be twenty-
six (26) feet, the maximum permitted within a 50-mile hour speed zone.

DEVELOPER'S SHOPPING CENTER PROJECT SUMMARY
General Proiect Description
Our goal for the Subject Property is to create a colorful, upscale, multi-tenant marketplace to attract a
complementary variety of small to medium sized retail, restaurant, service, and related commercial
businesses.
Subiect Property
The proposed project is located in Farmington, Minnesota on land legally described as Lots 3 and 4 of
Block 1, Dakota County Estates 9th Addition ("Subject Property"). The Subject Property is 98,762
square feet in size and generally rectangular in shape, approximately 400 feet in length and 247 feet in
width (see enclosed survey). The property is zoned as a Planned Unit Development pursuant to
Ordinance 086-176, adopted February 18, 1986. The Subject Property is subject to a Development
Contract dated September 9, 1994, that is filed of record. We propose to enter into a Planned Unit
Development Agreement ("PUD Agreement") with the City of Farmington and with the signing of the
PUD Agreement to terminate the existing Development Contract and file a release of the Development
Contract with respect to the Subject Property.
Developer
The Developer, Schwiness, LLC, is a Minnesota Limited Liability Corporation. The Developt:ir is the
owner of Lot 4, Block 1, Dakota County Estates 9th Addition, and is the holder ofan option to purchase
Lot 3, Block 1, Dakota County Estates 9th Addition. It is the Developer's intent to exercise the option
upon obtaining the necessary City approvals. The principals of the Developer are commercial real
estate developers and managers in the Twin Cities area. A representative sample of the principal's
previous projects include the following:
1. Dakota Center, Eagan, Minnesota
2. Eagle Trace Center, Burnsville, Minnesota
3. Prairie Village Mall, Eden Prairie, Minnesota
4. Valley Creek Mall, Woodbury, Minnesota
5. Centennial Lakes Medical Building, Edina, Minnesota
6. Lakeville Medical Building, Lakeville, Minnesota
7. Ridge Pointe Medical Building I and II, Burnsville, Minnesota
8. Perkins Restaurants (10 units in the Midwest)
Buildine:s
We are proposing a two-building complex (8,767 square feet each for a total of 17,534 square feet) and
site layout (see the enclosed Site Plan) constructed with high quality, low-maintenance materials, an
interesting architectural design, ample parking, and an overall Site Plan that creates a market-like
environment. Architectural elernents include brick, large glass storefronts and windows, two colors of
decorative colored concrete block, stucco, a sill along the base of the building, and colored awnings
(see enclosed Elevation Drawings; Floor Plan). Also, the site layout creates a "market" environment
by facing the two structures towards each other rather than utilizing the classic long "row house"
design. This layout seeks provide customers with a panoramic view, easy access to parking, and
1
')3
parking in close proximity to all tenants encouraging shopping at more than a single tenant per visit to
the site. This site design also avoids facing a very long building, and the associated signage, directly
at the residences to the east of the Subject Property.
..
Since the total building size is only 17,534 square feet, the lot coverage ratios are significantly below
the maximum coverage ratios allowed by City Code, even if the area subject to the right of way is not
included in the lot coverage ratio calculation.
Lot Coverage Ratio: 17.75 %
Lot .coverage Ratio (without the lot area subject to the right of way easement): 18.90 %
Allowed Lot Coverage Ratio: 25 %
Since both lots comprising the Subject Property will be under common ownership and are part of the
proposed coordinated development, the Developer requests that the PUD Agreement reflect that the
side yard setback requirements in the City Code do not apply with respect to the common lot line
separating Lots 3 and 4, of Block 1 of Dakota County Estates 9th Addition.
Land Uses
We propose that the Subject Property be used for those land uses generally permitted in the B-1
Zoning District as described in the Farmington Code. These uses include small to medium sized retail,
restaurant, service, and related commercial businesses. The Developer specifically proposes the
following uses:
, a.

Retail Facilities
Restaurants and fast food restaurants so long as the fast food restaurants are not free
standing, are tenants in the shopping center on the Subject Property, and do not have
a drive through lane.
Coffee Shops
Health Club
Offices
Personal and Professional Services, including financial services
Personal Health & Beauty Services
Animal Clinics
Convenience Store, without gas
Automobile service and repair
Clinics
We also propose that other uses be allowed as follows: 1. Uses allowed in the B-1 Zoning
Classification with a conditional use permit, subject to obtaining a conditional use permit from the
Board of Adjustment; and 2. Additional uses approved by the City Council via future amendments to
the PUD Agreement.
Parkin~
,
Parking stalls are distributed throughout the Subject Property for customer and employee use. The
total of 131 stalls (128 standard stalls and 3 handicap accessible stalls) provided represents a ratio of
approximately 7.5 stalls per 1,000 square feet of building space (or conversely, 134 square feet of
building space per stall). Due to the anticipated variety of tenants and uses (see Land Use section of
2
J4
.
.
,
,
this Project Summary and proposed PUD Agreement) and to accommodate future changes in the mix
of tenant uses, we have elected to provide this substantial increase in parking over the retail standard
ratio of 1 stall per 200 square feet. For example, the total stalls provided allows for half of the total
building space to receive parking at the rate of 1 staW200 square feet and the other half of the total
building space at the rate of 1 staW100 square feet, twice the normal retail standard.
Sif!naf!e - Buildinf! and Plvon
The building design provides a visible location (stucco element above awnings) for tenant storefront
building signs above entrances. The total building signage square footage (200 square feet per
building) will be divided proportionately between the anticipated 4 to 6 tenants per building. Due to
the preferences of the currently unknown mix of tenants, some may utilize backlighted panel signs and
others may opt for individually lighted letters and logos. However, the total areas covered by either
concept shall be limited to the maximum allowable area per building.
A pylon sign (150 square feet maximum and not exceeding 26 feet in height) for each site is proposed
(see Site Plan and separate sign design illustration included with this submission) along the west side
to identify tenants to the high speed traffic along Pilot Knob Road. The pylon sign for the north lot has
been moved south of the northwest corner of the lot so as not to interfere with the existing pylon sign
on the lot north of the Subject Property (animal hospital and bank site).
It is our understanding that the .City Code calls for the pylon sign setbacks to be the same as the
building (50' from the property line). It is also our understanding that this has generally not been
considered to be practical on small lots and that neighboring properties have all been granted variances
to place pylons in the landscaped yards along Pilot Knob Road. We request to be allowed to locate our
pylons at a point no closer than 25 feet from the west property line (this is the same as 10 feet from the
right-of-way line).
Landscauinf!
The Landscape Plan was designed to meet the various plant number, species, and spacing
requirements, and the landscaped perimeter requirements set forth in the City Code (see enclosed
Landscape Plan). The total landscaped portion of the site including yards and islands with plantings
represents approximately 18,700 SF of the total site area of 98,762 SF or more than 18% of the site,
substantially greater than the minimum City Code requirements of 10%.
The landscaped yards located along the perimeter of the site include numerous landscaped islands
providing traffic control and breaking up paved expanses. Coniferous trees and shrubs set on a small
berm are proposed along English Avenue to screen the subject property from adjacent residential
zoning. . We also will complete the sidewalk in this east perimeter by connecting the existing sidewalk
on the lots directly north and south of the Subject Property. The Pilot Knob side of the property
includes ornamental trees and other low-growing plantings to avoid obscuring storefront visibility from
the Pilot Knob Road side.
The Planning Staff has requested an unpaved perimeter of 25 feet from the west property line to the
parking lot to accommodate the right of way easement and a 10 feet wide unpaved perimeter. We
respectively propose a parking setback of 23 feet on the west property line. In order to obtain the
various benefits to the local residents, customers, tenants, and the Developer of facing the two
buildings towards each other, we are losing a significant amount of building square footage (please
3
Is
..
,
,
note the low lot coverage ratio). Accordingly, the width of the Subject Property is a key factor in
determining whether there remains sufficient building square footage to make facing the building
towards each other a viable option. In support of our request, we present the following:
. A setback of 23 feet accommodates the City's request for an unpaved area along
the west lot line (the distance between the existing bike path and the parking lot is
approximately 23 feet).
. The 8 feet available between the right of way line and the parking lot provides us
with sufficient area to construct an attractive landscaped area along the west
perimeter. Landscaping along this area is intended to be smaller scale (ornamental
deciduous trees and low shrubs) so as not to obscure the storefronts from the
traffic on Pilot Knob Road.
. The total landscaped area in the Subject Property exceeds the minimum landscape
coverage by 80%.
. The proposed setback allows us to build two building facing each other thus
avoiding the problems associated with one long strip center. A single building
spanning both lots yields substantially greater building coverage on the Subject
Property but is less desirable in several ways due to the unique nature of this
location which is fronted by both Pilot Knob Road, a major County route, and
English Avenue, a neighborhood street. First, fronting the complex towards the
English Avenue side results in greater storefront lighting, headlights and retail
activity directed across the street towards a residential neighborhood. Second,
this approach turns the back of the complex to the high traffic counts on Pilot
Knob Road and exposes only the less attractive delivery and trash handling areas
to the thoroughfare. Third, fronting the complex towards Pilot Knob Road gave
the businesses plenty of exposure to a high traffic counts but forced customers to
enter the site from the rear and then drive around the building to reach store
entrances. Also, in this layout the residences to the east of the Subject Property
face the delivery and trash handling functions. Fourth, the length of the shopping
center may result in a less attractive shopping center.
. The proposed setback allows for the accommodation of a 27" storm sewer that
serves areas west of Pilot Knob Road and passes through these two lots at their
common property line.
. The proposed setback allows us to increase on site parking as compared with
other site designs. The City Code provides for a wide variety of parking
requirements, and the requirements are particularly stringent for restaurants. To
accommodate the need for local restaurants as documented in the Citizen Survey
and to meet the City Code parking requirements, we endeavored to increase the
amount of parking on site.
. The proposed setback allows customers on both Pilot Knob Road traffic and
English Avenue to look through the site and still view storefronts and signage. .

It,
"
,
,
.
· Other options to squeeze an additional two feet setback either negatively affect
traffic flow (e.g., one way drives), interfere with delivery vehicles and fire
fighting equipment access to the west side of the Subject Property, or reduce the
size of the building beyond the 8 feet site reduction already offered by the
Developer.
. It is our understanding that the proposed setback meets the parking lot setback
requirement of 10 feet from the property lot line and meets the landscape
perimeter requirement of an unpaved perimeter of at least 10 feet between the
property line and the parking lot.
For all of the above reasons, we concluded that the site layout as submitted is the best and most
desirable alternative. It provides for a substantial unpaved landscape perimeter, benefits the
surrounding neighborhood by minimizing negative externalities, allows for additional on site parking,
opens up the site and ''visually connects" Pilot Knob Road and English Avenue. Please consider our
entreaties in this regard.
Construction Timeframe
Subject to obtaining the necessary approvals, we plan to begin construction in April, 2002 and
complete construction in September, 2002. The project will not be phased and the development of
both lots will occur simultaneously.

Property is located on the southeast comer of Trunk Hwy 3
and Chippendale Ct.
Lot 6, Dooley Addition
11,090 square feet
A-1 (Agriculture)
.
.
.
2020 Comprehensive Plan:
Business
Existing Land Use:
Single-family residential
Surrounding Land Uses:
Single-family residential is located to the north and east of
the property. Marshall's Bus Line is located at the end of
Chippendale Ct, the road serves as the only access in and
out of the property. An abandoned railroad spur line is
located to the south of the subject property and commercial
is located across Trunk Hwy 3.
Year Home was Constructed:
1950 (according to Dakota County Parcel records)
Estimated Market Value
Of Property - 2001:
$73,200 (Land Value = $21,300, Building Value = $51,
900)
MN State Trunk Hwy 3
Right-of-way Width:
The right-of-way measured at the property is approximately
225 feet. The desired right-of-way needed for a four lane
divided County roadway is 150 feet.
Previous Decisions:
- April, 1996: Tim VanEps, 504 Willow St., increase size
of non-conforming use without adding to the ground floor
area. Property located in an 1-1 district. Commission
Decision: Approved.
- March, 1997: Tim & Patricia Downey, 500 Willow St.,
construct a new garage on non-conforming residential
property in 1-1 district. Commission Decision: Approved.
DISCUSSION
The applicant, Emma PoW, is seeking variance approval in order to expand a non-conforming
structure located within the minimum fifty (50) foot front yard setback along minor arterial
roadways. The applicant is proposing to construct a 12' x 12' deck and a small mud room.
Currently, the applicant's home measures 12.67 feet from the right-of-way line and the entire
structure is located within the minimum fifty (50) foot setback.
Section 10-4-1 (1) ofthe City Code states as follows:
The minimum front yard setback for all districts adjacent to minor arterial streets included in the
Thoroughfare Plan of the Farmington Comprehensive Plan, except for those within Section 31,
shall be fifty feet (50') from the planned right-of-way line. (Ord. 095-360, 10-16-1995)
2-
.
.
.
The property was annexed in November of 1997 and was initially zoned A-1 (Agriculture), as
required by the Zoning Code when property is annexed into the city limits, and has not been
amended since the annexation. The single-family homes adjacent to the property, as well as
Marshall Bus Line, are still located within Empire Township.
The 2020 Comprehensive Plan identifies the property as future business and will likely be
rezoned during the upcoming Zoning Map amendments. Based on the current 2020
Comprehensive Plan, the use of the property is considered non-conforming. The City Attorney
points out that a city's zoning map should concur with the city's comprehensive plan map, thus
the comprehensive plan map prevails over the zoning map in this particular case.
It is City staff s opinion that the property alone is not currently viable for commercial use and
would not be until other adjacent properties were acquired and redeveloped for commercial
purposes. City is unaware of any pending redevelopment plans for this particular property or
surrounding properties at this time.
Also, the applicant's proposal of an accessory structure and nonliving room would only add
minimally to the ground floor area of the property.
The Board of Adjustment may vary the regulations of this Title if all of the following
requirements are met:
1.. Literal enforcement of this Title would result in undue hardship with respect to the property.
. The house was constructed in 1950, prior to the adoption of the current Zoning Code.
2. Such unnecessary hardship results because of circumstances unique to the property.
The property is adjacent to an extensive right-of-way (approximately 225') for a State Highway,
a narrower right-of-way would have less effect on the property.
3. 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.
The City Code requires a fifty (50) foot setback adjacent to Minor Arterial roadways, this
provision was adopted in 1996.
4. The variance observes the spirit and intent ofthis Title, produces substantial justice and is not
contrary to the public interest.
The designated future land use of this property is business as designated within the 2020
Comprehensive Plan, this designation contemplated a higher and better land use for the property
due to its close proximity to a high traffic roadway and other adjacent commercial development.
.3
.
e
.
5. 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. (Ord. 086-
177,3-17-1986)
This property is not located within a flood zone.
REQUESTED ACTION
City staff recommends approving the variance to expand the non-conforming structure/non-
conforming use with the proposed 12' x 12' deck and mud room based on the opinion that the
applicant is not significantly adding to the footprint of the structure and is doing so with only an
accessory structure and a "non-living" mud room.

Planning Division Review
Applicant:
Tim Carr
19185 Akin Road
Farmington, MN 55024
Attachments:
1. Location Map
2. Application for Plat Review
3. Preliminary & Final Plat
Location of Property:
North of 193rd Street and west of Akin Road.
Area Bounded By:
Surrounded by single-family residential.
Existing Zoning:
R-l - Low Density Residential District
Proposed Development:
The plat consists of 5 single-family lots. A single-family residence
exists on Lot 1 and 2.
Streets and Accesses:
Lots 1 and 2 currently have existing access to Akin Road. Lots 4-5
are proposed for access to 193rd Street. Lot 3 should access onto
193rd Street.
Water, Sewer & Gas:
Water and sanitary sewer access is available for Lots 3-5 from
existing stubs along 193rd Street. Lots 1 and 2 are currently served
with City utilities.
Sidewalks:
A trail currently exists on the south side of 1 93rd Street.
Wetland:
Wetlands do not exist on the property.
.
.
.
Flood Plain:
There are no flood plains delineated on this property.
Parkland and Trails:
The Developer is required to comply with the Park Dedication Fee
requirements.
DISCUSSION
Tim Carr proposes to plat 5 lots on 2.7 acres at the northwest intersection of 193rd Street and Akin Road. The
plat is located within the R-l Low Density Residential district. The following is the square footage for each
lot:
Lot I 39,546.6 square feet
Lot 2 46,354.4 square feet
Lot 3 11,842.2 square feet
Lot 4 10,125 square feet
Lot 5 10,125 square feet
Lot 1 was previously platted with the Dakota County Recorders Office on December 4, 2000 through the
waiver of plat process. The lot was platted to allow the construction of a single-family home. A single-family
home, known as the Akin House, exists on Lot 2.
Lots 3-5 are vacant and proposed for subdivision as single-family lots. The minimum lot size in the R-l
District is 10,000 square feet and the minimum lot width is 75 feet. All of the proposed lots meet these zoning
requirements.
Access
The two existing homes currently have access to Akin Road. Lots 4 and 5 will access to 193rd Street. Lot 3
consists of road frontage along I 93rd Street and Akin Road. The City's Transportation Engineer recommends
that access on Lot 3 be oriented to 193rd Street because of its lower traffic speed and road function compared
to Akin Road. The driveway access to 193rd Street should be located along the west side of the lot to provide
adequate separation from the 193rd Street! Akin Road intersection.
Water and Sanitary Sewer
Upon installation of utilities in 193rd Street during the construction of Akin Park Estates, three water and
sanitary sewer stubs were made available to the Carr property anticipating future platting (see attached as-built
plans).
Park Dedication Fee Requirement
The Developer will be required to submit a Park Dedication Fee for the plat. A trail exists along the south side
of 193rd Street.
The Engineering Division has approved the Carr Corner Preliminary & Final Plat contingent on minor
reVISIons.
.
.
.
ACTION REQUESTED
Recommend approval of the Carr Corner Preliminary & Final Plat contingent on Engineering Division
comments and forward this recommendation to the City Council.
