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 Associate Planner SUBJECT: Farmington Acres Preliminary & Final Plat Approval DATE: April 23, 2002 INTRODUCTION Maureen Juaire, M & M Homes, has requested approval of the Fannington Acres Preliminary and Final Plat, the plat consists offour (4) single-family lots and one (1) outlot on 1.4 acres ofland located on 213th Street W. This is a continuation of the public hearing heard on April 9, 2002. Plannin2 Division Review See attached April 9, 2002 staff memo. DISCUSSION The applicant, Maureen Juaire with M & M Homes, LLC, has submitted an application for Preliminary and Final Plat approval of the Farmington Acres development. The proposed development is situated on 1.4 acres of land and is zoned R-1 (Low Density) Residential. Single- family residential to situated the east and west of the subject property, Glenview town homes is located to the north and Trinity Terrace to the south. The Planning Commission heard the initial public hearing at its April 9, 2002 meeting and after hearing the staff review and public testimony recommended continuing the public hearing based on resolving engineering issues in the rear of the property and disputes over the westerly property line. Status of Outlot AlConveyance of Property The Developer has met with the property owner to the west, Jackie Franke, to discuss the conveyance of the westerly fourteen (14) feet of the property in which the two parties have reached a tentative verbal agreement. The attorney for Mrs. Franke is reviewing the draft agreement and the developer is attempting to have the document fmalized before Tuesday night's meeting. The conveyance of Outlot A to the adjacent property owner would eliminate the encroachment onto the applicant's property. The City would request that Mrs. Franke have the properties combined by the County in order to form one legal property with one property identification number. The cost of that procedure should be minimal (if any at all) when requested during recording of the deed. . . . Engineering Review The Engineering Division has continued discussion with the Developer's Engineer on resolving the drainage issues relating to the rear yards of the proposed lots. Dave Sanocki, Engineering Division, has indicated that the revised plans would be submitted to the Engineering Division on Monday, April 22nd in order to finalize the review. Staff will update the Commission on the status of the revisions on the night of the meeting, staff is confident that all major issues will be resolved prior to forwarding the plat to the City Council. RECOMMENDATION City staff recommends that the Planning Commission forward a recommendation of approval for the Farmington Acres Preliminary and Final Plat to the City Council (May 6) contingent upon the following: 1. That Outlot A be conveyed to the adjacent property owner to the west in order to relieve the property encroachment; 2. The Engineering Division approves the revised grading plan relating to the rear drainage of the proposed lots prior to taking the plat to the City Council. Cc: Maureen Juaire, M & M Homes Project file . . . 2b 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: Kevin Carroll, Community Development Director SUBJECT: Proposed Ordinance Regarding Demolition Penn its DATE: April 23, 2002 INTRODUCTION The Community Development Department is recommending that the City Code be amended to include provisions regarding the issuance of demolition penn its. DISCUSSION As cities "mature," and as available land becomes scarcer and/or more expensive, the potential redevelopment of existing residential, commercial and industrial properties receives an ever-increasing amount of attention. Many redevelopment scenarios involve the proposed demolition of existing building and structures. One example would be the recently proposed redevelopment of the HRA-owned property located at the comer of 3rd Street and Spruce Street, which (under the current proposal) would also involve the acquisition and demolition of the adjacent Blaha Collision Center. The State Building Code and the City's general "police powers" give the City the obligation and the authority to regulate the demolition of buildings in a manner that ensures the health, safety and general welfare of the public. However, the City Code includes very little useful guidance for City staff and for developers regarding the specif:ic procedures and requirements for the issuance of demolition penn its. Attached hereto is a proposed ordinance that would amend Title 4 [Building Regulations] of the City Code by adding a new chapter [Chapter 6] outlining the steps that a property owner or developer would have to follow in order to obtain a demolition pennit. Several of the provisions are patterned after demolition ordinances that have worked effectively in the City of Minneapolis. Other provisions are based upon suggestions and input offered by the City Attorney, the Engineering Division, the Building Inspections Division, the Planning Division, the Heritage Preservation Commission's consultant, and others. There are four properties in Farmington that have been fonnally designated by the City Council as "heritage landmarks" (see attached list). Under Section 2-11-5 of the City Code (attached), a demolition penn it for these properties cannot be issued unless a "certificate of appropriateness" has been granted by the City's Heritage Preservation Commission. However, this provision would not apply to any proposed demolition of the three Farmington properties that have been listed in the National Register of Historic Places, or to any proposed demolition of the twelve Fannington properties that the Farmington Heritage Preservation Commission has detennined to be eligible for designation as heritage landmarks. . . . In Minneapolis, the Heritage Preservation Commission [under Section 117.30(d) of the City Code] has the power to unilaterally veto the proposed demolition of any building or structure in the City, without regard to whether or not it has been formally designated as a heritage landmark. Section 4-6-10 of the new ordinance proposed for Farmington does not go that far. It does not give the Farmington Heritage Preservation Commission any new "veto power" over the issuance of demolition permits, nor does it absolutely prohibit the demolition of a property that is on the National Register of Historic Places or a property that has been determined by the Farmington HPC to be eligible for designation as a Farmington heritage landmark. Rather, Section 4-6-10 provides that a demolition permit for any such property will not be released until the City Council has approved whatever redevelopment plan necessitated consideration of the proposed demolition in question. Staff believes that this provision strikes a reasonable balance between the interests of property owners/developers and the interests of those who would prefer to avoid the premature loss of historically significant local landmarks.

DISCUSSION During Zoning Map amendment discussions at the March 26, 2002 Planning Commission meeting, the Commission questioned the need for a Parks and Open Space zoning district to identify City Parks and natural areas on the Zoning Map. The Farmington 2020 Comprehensive Plan identifies City Park/Open Space and Natural Open Space as an approved land use. A proposed Parks and Open Space zoning district would comply with the 2020 Comprehensive Plan. The Planning Commission reviewed the March 26, 2002 staff proposal of zoning parks and open space with adjacent zoning district classifications, such as the wetland area south of Charleswood classified as A-I to coincide with the adjacent zoning of A-I to the south of the wetland area. In this case however, this approach was recognized as inexact because the natural open space that includes a wetland area may be perceived by individuals unfamiliar with the property to allow farming as a permitted use because of the A-I zoning classification, which is not the case. Therefore, the Planning Commission requested that staff prepare an amendment to the Zoning Code to provide a Parks and Open Space (P/OS) zoning district along with bulk and density standards and permitted and conditional uses specified in the code. This will allow the parks and open space areas within the City to be identified on the Zoning Map. The attached information discusses the purpose, bulk and density standards, and permitted and conditional uses proposed for the Parks and Open Space zoning district. Additionally, the numbering in Title 10-5 needs to be amended to allow for the new zoning district. Section 10-5-21 Planned Unit Development and 10-5-22 Floodplain Overlay District should be amended to 10-5-22 and 10-5-23 respectively. . . . ACTION REQUESTED Approve the amendment to Title 10-5 of the Farmington City Code to include Parks and Open Space (P/OS) as a zoning district in Section 10-5-21 and amend the numbering in Title 10-5 to include Section 10-5-22 Planned Unit Development and 10-5-23 Floodplain Overlay District and forward the recommendation to the City Council.

In most of the instances the Comprehensive Plan change (and resulting zoning change) would not only benefit the affected property owner but also the adjacent property owners. These proposed amendments would be forwarded to the City Council for review; if adopted the amendments would need to be forwarded to the Metropolitan Council for approval. . DISCUSSION Staff has identified nine (9) areas of the City that are being proposed to be amended. Area #1: WnIow and Pine Street Area Affected Property Owners: . Dakota Lumber Company . Peerless Plastics Inc. . Farmington Lanes . Tim VanEpps . Tim Downey 2020 Comprehensive Plan Land Use(s): Industrial Proposed Land Use Amendment(s): Commercial Proposed Zoning Change(s): B-1 (Highway Business), south and east block and B-3 (Heavy Business), north and west block (the Zoning Map will be discussed later in the meeting). Reason for proposed change: The predominant existing land uses of the area (i.e. lumber yard, light manufacturing and commercial recreation) are more conducive to commercial zoning districts and would ultimately have less impact on the adjacent residential property owners. . Possible Required Zoning Change(s): Commercial Recreation may need to be added as a permitted or conditional use within the B-3 zoning district. ............................................. . Area #2: Trinity Hospital Property Affected Property Owners: . Trinity Hospital . Trinity Terrace . Allina Clinic . Hazel Thorn 2020 Comprehensive Plan Land Use(s): Proposed Land Use Amendment(s): Proposed Zoning Change(s): Public/Semi-public, High Density Residential, Medium Density Residential, Park/OS Commercial, High Density, Medium Density, Park/OS Due to the recent closing of Trinity Hospital and Farmington Family Clinic the property is more conducive for the future re-use of the property as high density (i.e. nursing home, assisted care facility, etc.). Staff is also suggesting amending the front portion of the property (containing Allina Clinic and Hazel Thorn's property) to commercial, following the commercial development pattern along Trunk Highway 3. The medium density area on the south and east half of the property would remain in order to allow less dense residential development that would serve as a transition from the higher density residential to the existing low/medium development. . Possible Required Zoning Change(s): None Reason for proposed change: ............................................. Area #3: Third St. Apartment complex Affected Property Owners: . Vernon & Nona Nash 2020 Comprehensive Plan Land Use(s): Proposed Land Use Amendment(s): Proposed Zoning Change(s): Reason for proposed change: LowlMedium Density High Density R-5 (High Density) The previous Zoning Code allowed for High Density Residential in the R- 2 (Medium Density) zoning district. The City has now adopted a Zoning Code in which the districts are more based on density units per acre that would require properties to meet higher standards, especially for higher density development. Possible Required Zoning Change(s): None ............................................. . Area #4: Northeast corner of 3rd and Main Street Affected Property Owners: . Roger Thorn . Craig Gott . 2020 Comprehensive Plan Land Use(s): Proposed Land Use Amendment(s): Proposed Zoning Change(s): Reason for proposed change: High Density Commercial B-2 (General Business) The 2020 Comprehensive Plan called for an extended central business district to the north, following 3rd Street up to the Pine Street area. The proposed amendment would reflect the same land area as the property on the south side of Main Street (southeast comer of Main and 3rd Street). Possible Required Zoning Change(s): None Area #5: Northeast corner of Akin Road and 20Sth Street Affected Property Owners: . Jack Benedict . Brian Budenski 2020 Comprehensive Plan Land Use(s): Park and Open Space and Environmentally Sensitive Proposed Land Use Amendment(s): Low Density and Environmentally Sensitive . Proposed Zoning Change(s): Reason for proposed change: R -1 (Low Density) The 2020 Comprehensive Plan assumed that the property was virtually unbuildable due to the number of existing easements (i.e. gas line, power line, sewer line) and required setback from wetlands. Restrictions also exist on the location of any additional ingress/egress access from 208th Street or Akin Road. Staff feels the property is more conducive to low density residential and making use of the existing access of the 207th Street cul-de-sac. Possible Required Zoning Change(s): None ............................................. Area #6: Dakota Electric ProDertv Affected Property Owners: . Dakota Electric 2020 Comprehensive Plan Land Use(s): Industrial Proposed Land Use Amendment(s): Commercial Proposed Zoning Change(s): B-3 (Heavy Commercial) . Reason for proposed change: Due to changes in the recently adopted B-3 Zoning District, it is staffs recommendation that the property is more relational to heavy business than industrial. The proposed zoning change would still permit the business to operate in its existing capacity. Possible Required Zoning Change(s): None . Area #7: 209tb Street Prooerties Affected Property Owners: . Ralph Nordine . Fred & Dorthy Schmidtke . Glennis Thorson . Donald & Gloria Curwick . Darren & Deb Drost . James & Patricia Murphy . Edward Stifter . Steven & Susan Frandrup 2020 Comprehensive Plan Land Use(s): Proposed Land Use Amendment(s): Proposed Zoning Change(s): Reason for proposed change: . Not Designated - Recently Annexed Property Low Density Residential R-I (Low Density) The properties located along 209tb Street were annexed into the City in early 200 I and were not apart of the adopted 2020 Comprehensive Land Use Plan. The City's policy is to zone annexed property to A-I (Agriculture) until the appropriate land use designation can be adopted. Possible Required Zoning Change(s): None ............................................. Area #8: Denvev/Rother Prooerties (East End of 213tb Street) Affected Property Owners: . Michael & Eileen Devney . Larry Rother 2020 Comprehensive Plan Land Use(s): Proposed Land Use Amendment(s): Proposed Zoning Change(s): Reason for proposed change: Not Designated - Recently Annexed Property Urban Reserve A-I (Agriculture) The properties at the end of213tb Street were annexed into the City in early 200 I and were not apart of the adopted 2020 Comprehensive Land Use Plan. The City's policy is to zone annexed property to A-I (Agriculture) until the appropriate land use designation can be adopted. Possible Required Zoning Change(s): None ............................................. . Area #9: Murohv Prooertv (End of 19Stb Street W.) Affected Property Owners: . Bernard Murphy 2020 Comprehensive Plan Land Use(s): Not Designated - Recently Annexed Property .

INTRODUCTION/DISCUSSION The Planning Commission reviewed proposed changes to the Zoning Map at the March 26, 2002 meeting. The staff memo from that meeting is attached. At the meeting the Commission recommended a continuation of the public hearing for the Zoning Map to the April 23, 2002 meeting. On April 11' 2002 and April 18, 2002, informational meetings were held to allow property owners that were affected by the proposed zoning changes to comment and ask questions concerning the proposed changes. The following properties have been amended since the public hearing on March 26, 2002. 1) All property publicly owned and meeting the Parks and Open Space criteria have been identified within the Parks and Open Space district on the Zoning Map. Examples include Rambling River Park, the Farmington Civic Arena, Lake Julia Park, etc. 2) Lamperts Lumber, 109 Spruce Street, has been revised from B-2 to B-3 to allow for the continued use of supply yards in the B-3 zone. The B-2 zone does not allow supply yards and therefore, would prevent the lumber yard from expanding. Staff will review the memo from the March 26, 2002 Planning Commission meeting at the April 23, 2002 meeting.
