Commission Decision: Approved.
- April, 1996: Tim VanEps, 504 Willow St., increase size of non-
conforming use without adding to the ground floor area.
Property located in an I-I 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 applicants, Thomas & Linda Albertson, are seeking variance approval in order to expand a non-
conforming structure located within the minimum twenty (20) foot front yard setback along Hickory
Street. Currently, the applicants' home measures 15.78 feet from the front property line (along Hickory
St), encroaching 4.22 feet. The applicants' are proposing to construct an 18' x 23' addition to the rear of
the home that would encroach 2.76 feet.
Section 10-4-1 (B) of the City Code states as follows:
All structures, whether attached to the principal structure or not, and whether open or closed, including
porches, carports, balconies or platforms above normal grade level, shall not project into any minimum
front, side or rear yard.
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 anv of the following requirements are
met:
1. Because the particular physical surroundings, or the shape, configuration, topography, or other
conditions of the specific parcel of land involved, strict adherence to the regulations of this Title
.
.
.
would cause undue hardship. Economic consideration alone shall not constitute an undue
hardship if reason able use for the property exists under the terms of this Title.
Not applicable
2. The conditions upon which a variance is based are unique to the parcel of land for which the
variance is sought and are not applicable, generally, to other properties within the same zoning
classification.
The parcel width is narrower than the typical 60-loot minimum width within the R-2 Zoning
District, the subjects lot measures 58.5 feet.
3. The alleged difficulty or hardship is caused by this Title and has not been created by any persons
presently having an interest in the parcel of land.
The home was constructed in 1925, prior to any adoption of Zoning Code by the City or Village
of Farmington.
4.
The granting of the variance will not alter the essential character of the locality or be injurious to
other property in the vicinity in which the parcel of land is located or substantially diminish
property values.
The proposed addition would not alter the character of the neighborhood because the existing
structure (along with several other surrounding homes) currently encroaches within one setback
or another (e.g. the home directly to the east also appears to encroach within the front yard
setback).
5.
The proposed variance will not substantially increase the congestion of the public streets, or
increase the danger of ftre, or be detrimental to the public welfare or public safety.
There would not be any negative impact to either the general public or property owner.
REOUESTED ACTION
City staff recommends approval of the variance to expand the non-conforming structure with the
proposed 18' x 23' addition based on the guidelines given above.

Silver Springs 3rd Addition Preliminary Plat Review
DATE:
March 22, 2002
Engineering staff has reviewed the preliminary plat that was submitted for the above referenced
project. The following comments need to be addressed prior to the next submittal:
1. Easements for the sanitary sewer and watermain exist throughout the proposed plat. If any of
the existing utilities are to be modified, new easements will be required over the new
alignment, and the existing easements will need to be vacated (minimum easement shall be
20', 10' on each side of the pipe centerline).
2. Show easements on all side and rear lots (5' minimum on sides and 10' minimum at rears).
3. Submit project storm sewer computations with drainage area map for review. How will
project storm water be treated? Where will the water be routed? Will ponds be necessary? If
so, where will they be placed?
4. Submit proposed grading and utility plans for this project for review. Existing utilities must
be included on the proposed utility plan.
Design changes due to the above listed items could affect the easement locations for the
proposed plat. The items requested in this memo need to be received and reviewed prior to
planning commission consideration of the preliminary plat.

DISCUSSION
The applicant, Maureen Juaire with M & M Homes, LLC, has submitted an application for Prelimnary
and Final Plat approval of the Farmington Acres development. The proposed development is situated
on 1.4 acres ofland 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 property has been vacant since it was annexed into the city in 1995. During the reconstruction
and turn back of County Road 72/213lh Street the City stubbed out to the property four sewer and
water line connections in the event that the properties would develop as single-family lots.
The applicant has withdrawn the original twin home concept that would have allowed for the
construction of six (6) twin home units on the property, this voids the Conditional Use Permit
approved in November of 200 1.
Status of Outlot A
The Developer intends to convey the remaining fourteen (14) feet of property, forming Outlot A, over
to the adjacent property owner to the west (Jacky Franke) who has encroached unto the applicant's
property.
Landscaping
The applicant is proposing to maintain a number of the trees along the back half of the property in
order to provide buffering to the townhome units to the north. A landscaping plan has been submitted
for the planting of eight (8) boulevard trees.
Parks & Trails
An eight-foot (8') bituminous bike path is being requested by the PARAC to be constructed as part of
the project; there is currently a bike path that was constructed to the end of the Bristol Square
development, approximately 275 feet to the east. The developer will receive credit for the
construction of the bike path in lieu of park dedication fees.
Engineering Review
The Engineering Division has forwarded comments to the Developer concerning the proposed
development (see attached letter dated April 4, 2002 from Lee Mann, Director of Public Works/City
Engineer). Of the six (6) identified issues the following are recognized as significant issues that need
to be addressed before forwarding the plat onto the City Council.
#2. The proposed grading plan contains rear lot low points with no storm sewer or swale outlets.
#3. Rear yards may need to be completely re-graded to allow for proper drainage. An easement is
required for drainage that crosses property lines.
#5. Emergency overflow elevations are higher than the proposed lowest floor elevations.
.
.
.
RECOMMENDATION
City staff recommends continuing the public hearing to the next Planning Commission meeting in
order to allow the Developer sufficient time to address the engineering related issues.

RE: Farmington Acres Preliminary Plat
Dear Ms. Juaire,
Engineering staff has reviewed the preliminary plat that was submitted for the above referenced project.
The following comments need to be addressed prior to the next submittal:
General Comments
. 1.
2.
3.
4.
5.
6.
Adjust the lot numbers on the grading plan to match the proposed preliminary plat.
Where does the rear lot drainage go? The proposed grading plan contains rear lot low points with no
storm sewer or swale outlets.
Rear yards may need to be completely regraded to allow for proper drainage. An easement is
required for drainage that crosses property lines.
Include the rim and invert elevation for the storm sewer inlet located just north of proposed lot 3 and
within the rear lot easement of the Glenview Townhomes project.
Emergency overflow elevations are higher than the proposed lowest floor elevations.
A legend for tree protection, retaining wall and proposed storm sewer has been included on the
grading plan? Show areas where legend types will be used.
If you have any questions regarding these review comments feel free to contact me at (651) 463-1601.
Sincerely,
~fr1~

SUBJECT:
Amendment to Section 1O-6-4(L): Off-Street Parking -Recreational Vehicles
DATE:
April 9, 2002
INTRODUCTION
The City of Farmington proposes to amend Section 10-6-4 (L) of the Farmington City Code
concerning the off-street parking of recreational vehicles.
DISCUSSION
At the October 1, 2001 City Council meeting, several residents within the Limerock Ridge
neighborhood requested that the Council consider the adoption of an ordinance controlling the
recreational vehicle parking within residential neighborhoods.
During the research stage of the amendment process, staff gathered ordinances from several
communities (Apple Valley, Maple Grove, St. Louis Park, Savage, Rosemount, and Lakeville) that
control off-street storage of recreational vehicles. Attached is a matrix and the ordinances from
surrounding communities that have such provisions.
The City Council and Planning Commission met at a Joint Workshop on February 20, 2002 to
discuss the issue to determine if restrictions should be placed on the parking of recreational vehicles
on a residential lot (see attached memo). At the workshop, the City Council and Planning
Commission discussed a number of issues including the following:
1. Number of recreational vehicles allowed on a residential lot
2. Size of the recreational vehicle
3. Screening of the recreational vehicle
4. Parking location of the recreational vehicle
5. Type of parking surface for the recreational vehicle
Section 10-6-4 (L) of the newly adopted Zoning Code requires that any recreational vehicles parked
on residential property for more than 14 day shall be 1) parked in rear or side yard, and 2) registered
to the owner or lessee of the property and display a current license.
. The Zoning Code defines recreational vehicles in the following manner:
.
.
RECREATIONAL VEHICLE: Recreational vehicle means any self propelled vehicle and any vehicle
propelled or drawn by a self-propelled vehicle used for recreational purposes, including but not
limited to recreational camping vehicle as defined by MSA 327.14, Subd. 7, boats, and off-highway
vehicles such as snowmobiles, trail bike, motorcycles, and other all-terrain vehicles.
The amendment to Section 10-6-4 (L) proposes the following:
1. Elimination of the "more than 14 days" and "parked in rear or side yard" requirements.
2. Proposed additions to the ordinance include recreational vehicles in the front yard to be parked on
a hard-surfaced driveway and not allowed to be parked or stored in front of the principal structure
or on public property or within the right-of-way.
3. Additional requirements include the allowance of recreational vehicles to be parked on hard-
surface or decorative rock within the side or rear yard of the residential lot. Hard-surfaced
parking areas in these locations shall maintain a 5-foot setback from the property line, while the
decorative rock parking area may abut the property line. Additional requirements for installing
the decorative rock are also included.
The City Council reviewed the proposed revisions at its March 19,2002 workshop and directed staff
to present the revisions to the Planning Commission at its next regular meeting after a favorable
acceptance of the revisions was recommended by the Council Members.
ACTION REQUESTED

SUBJECT: Recreational Vehicle Parking Ordinance
DATE: March 4,2002
INTRODUCTIONIDISCUSSION
Attached is a draft of the Recreational Vehicle Parking Ordinance generated from discussions by the
City Council and Planning Commission at the February 20, 2002 workshop. The attached
information shows the possible location of the draft ordinance in the newly adopted zoning code.
.
From the workshop, the following items were proposed to be included in the draft ordinance:
1. Allowance for parking recreational vehicles on decorative rock in the side or rear yards abutting
the property line as long as the rock does not impede the drainage or inhibit access to the drainage
and utility easements.
2. No class 5 rock allowed.
3. Require a fabric installed under the decorative rock to impede the growth of weeds.
4. Prohibit the parking of recreational vehicles in tl1e front of the house.
As witnessed in the attached draft ordinance, all of the above-requirements were included.
Staff included the following requirements:
I. The recreational vehicle shall be registered to the owner or leasee of the property and display a
current license. This language was part of the newly adopted zoning code.
2. The recreational vehicle may not be parked on public property or within the street right-of-way.
This requirement was included to clearly define the location of the vehicle parking.
3. The decorative rock shall be installed to depth of 4 inches. This insures that sufficient ground
coverage is achieved to prevent mud and erosion.
4. Edging shall be installed to prevent the rock from spreading. This insures that the rock doesn't
spread to neighboring properties because the parking area is allowed to abut the property line.

Recreational Vehicle and Trailer Storage Guidelines
· This guide is intended to explain the requirements for RV storage in the residential and
agricultural zoning districts of the city. 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.
.. R V's may be stored on the side of a 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 comedot 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 \YQuId be rio 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.

Outdoor Storage Ordinance
'Il.,,/j
../
As citizens of Farmington we are concerned about the lack of an outdoor Storage Ordinance.
Farmington is growing at a fast rate and we feel that the storing of recreational vehicles beside
homes is increasing as well. We have called numerous times on one particular house in the
Limerock Ridge Development (5151 194 th Street), where there are two campers and a hauling
trailer parked on the front lawn. Each time we call to complain we are informed there is nothing
that can be done and are informed that Farmington does not currently have an ordinance
restricting/limiting such outdoor storage. Just a couple houses down from the above address is a
boat stored in a similar fashion. Without an ordinance proving standards for such storage, this
just becomes a ripple effect.
We take pride in the appearance of our houses and yards. Such outdoor storing of vehicles brings
down the value of our homes, therefore deterring new families from moving into Farmington.
.
We feel there needs to be an ordinance providing standards for and, allowing of, outdoor storage
of vehicles/recreational vehicles. Attached is a copy of the City of Lakeville's Outdoor Storage
Ordinance which we would like to have be proposed to the City of Farmington for consideration.
We appreciate your help in the matter.

SUBJECT: Amendment to Section 10-5-5 (C): A-I Agriculture Uses - Interim Use Permit
DATE: April 9, 2002
INTRODUCTION
Friedges, Inc. has requested an Interim Use Permit for a soil pulverizing operation within the A-I
zoning district at the Wurdeman mining pit located at 5827 210t Street West.
DISCUSSION
In Section 10-5-5 of the Farmington City Code, the A-I zoning district currently allows mineral
extraction as a conditional use, however, a soil pulverizing operation is not a permitted use in this
district (see attached). Therefore, the applicant has requested that the soil pulverizing operation be
allowed as an Interim Use in the A-I zone district and provided for in Section 10-5-5 (C).
History of the Soil Pulverizing Operation
Friedges, Inc. was conducting the soil pulverizing operation in 2001. On October 30,2001, the City
reviewed the mining pit site after a renewal application for the mining operation was submitted to the
City. At that time, the City determined that the soil pulverizing operation was being conducted at the
mining pit site (see attached photos). A letter was sent to Friedges, Inc. on December 3,2002, stating
that the soil pulverizing operation needed to be defined to determine if soil was being hauled to the
mining pit instead of being mined on-site (see attached). Friedges, Inc. responded in a letter dated
December 11, 2001 that they imported several thousand yards of topsoil to the site to reclaim the pit,
however, a stockpile of the soil imported was being used in a pulverizing operation and mixed with
mined material (sand) and then exported (see attached).
The operation consists of pulverizing black soil to a fine consistency and mixing the soil with sand
mined from the pit. After the mixing process is completed, trucks remove the mixed soil to building
locations off-site. The mixed soil is used for sod applications and other building requirements.
Section 3-22-14 (E) states that where practical, stockpiles of overburden and materials shall be used
to screen the extraction. The side slopes of such stockpiles shall not exceed three to one (3:1).
Overburden is defined as "those materials which lie between the surface of the earth and material
. deposit to be extracted." Section 3-22-2 defines mining or excavation as the following:
A. Any excavation made by the removal of the natural surface of the earth, whether sod, dirt,
soil, sand, gravel stone, or other matter, creating depression or depressions.
B. Any area where the topsoil or overburden has been removed for the purpose of mining earthly
deposits or minerals, yet the area has remained idle since the topsoil removal.
C. Any area that is being used for stockpiling, storage, and processing of sand, gravel, black dirt,
clay and other materials.
Therefore, the City determined that the soil pulverizing operation was a violation of the City Code
because material was being hauled to the mining pit rather than utilizing material within the pit. The
operation was shut down until Friedges, Inc. applied for an Interim Use Permit to continue the soil
pulverizing operation. Friedges, Inc. submitted a letter to the City on December 12, 2001 stating that
they agreed to cease soil pulverizing operations until approval by the City was granted through an
Interim Use Permit.
Interim Use Permit
The City Code requires the following items to be met in order for the Interim Use Permit to be
granted:
10-3-7: INTERIM USES:
.
(A) The Board of Adjustment may grant permission and set conditions for an interim use of property
if:
1. The use conforms to the zonmg regulations, performance standards and other
requirements;
2. The use meets the standards of a conditional use permit set forth in Section 10-3-5 of the
City Code;
3. The date or event that will terminate the use can be identified with certainty;
4. The use will not impose additional costs on the public if it is necessary for the public to
take the property in the future; and
5. The use will be subjected to, by agreement with the owner, any conditions that the City
has deemed appropriate for permission of the use, including a condition that the owner
will provide an appropriate financial surety to cover the cost of removing the interim use
and an interim structure upon the expiration of the interim use permit.
(B) Termination: An interim use permit shall terminate upon the occurrence of any of the following
events, whichever occurs first:
.
1. the date stated in the permit, or
2. a violation of conditions under which the permit was issued; or
3. a change in the City's zoning regulations which renders the use nonconforming as
provided in Section 10-4-2; or
.
.
.
4. redevelopment of the use and property upon which it is located to a permitted or
conditional use as allowed within the respective zoning districts.
(C) Application, Public Hearing, Notice: The application, public hearing, and public notice
requirements for interim use permits before the Board of Adjustments shall be the same as those
for zoning amendments as provided for in Section 10-3-11 ofthe City Code.
Friedges, Inc requests that the Interim Use Permit be granted to allow the hauling of soil to the
mining site by tandem trucks and mixing the soil with sand mined from the pit. After the mixing
process is completed, tandem trucks would remove the mixed soil to building locations off-site. Soil
will also be transported to the mining pit to assist with restoration of the pit. Friedges, Inc. will be
required to submit a restoration plan in the future in anticipation of the mining pit closure.
Friedges, Inc. requests that an Interim Use Permit be granted for 1 year for the soil pulverizing
operation to April 9, 2003. The operation will be conducted on approximately 1 acre of the
Wurdeman mining pit site. Hours of operation will be Monday through Saturday from 7:00 AM to
5:00 PM and will coincide with the mining pit hours of operation.
Staff has recommended the following conditions be applied to the approval of the Interim Use
Permit:
1. Fairgreen Avenue and 210th Street is to be maintained in a drivable state with the addition of
Class 5 and grading when applicable.
2. CSAH 50 is to be maintained with a clean driving surface and any debris or soil/gravel be
removed immediately.
3. Dust controls be utilized during the frequent hauling of material on Fairgreen Avenue and 210th
Street.
ACTION REOUESTED
Recommend approval of the attached amendment of Section 10-5-5 (C) to include an Interim Use
Permit for a soil pulverizing operation in the A-I zoning district and forward the recommendation to
the City Council contingent upon the following:
1. The termination date for the Interim Use Permit is April 9, 2003.
2. The hours for the pulverizin~ operation are Monday through Saturday from 7:00 AM to 5:00 PM.
4. Fairgreen Avenue and 210t Street is to be maintained in a drivable state with the addition of
Class 5 and grading when applicable.
5. CSAH 50 is to be maintained with a clean driving surface and any debris or soil/gravel be
removed immediately.
6. Dust controls be utilized during the frequent hauling of material on Fairgreen Avenue and 210th
Street.
. Respectfully Submitted,

Mr. Lew Wurdeman
5827 W. 210th Street
Farmington, MN 55024
RE: Mineral Extraction Permit for Lew Wurdeman Property
Dear Mr. Wurdeman:
The City has recently reviewed your .lpplication for an Excavation, Grading and Mineral Extraction Permit for
the period between October 18, 2001 to October 18, 2002.
City staff visited the site on October 30, 2001 and discovered a number of violations pertaining to the
Excavation, Grading and Mineral Extraction operation. Therefore, the City will not grant approval of the
extension of your Excavation, Grading and Mineral Extraction Permit. A Conditional Use Permit is required
when re-applying for a permit upon compliance of the following code violations.
Section 3 Chapter 22 of the City Code is attached outlining the requirements of the excavation and mining
operation. The following are violations of the City Code:
1. Section 3-22-14 (B) Abandoned machinery, inoperable equipment and rubbish shall be removed from the
site regularly.
Review comments: As shown on photos labeled # 1-3, rubbish has been stored on the site including a steel
shoring box, steel I-beams, rebar and other construction related items.
2. Section 3-22-14 (E) Where practical, stockpiles of overburden and materials shall be used to screen the
extraction. The side slopes of such stockpiles shall not exceed three to one (3: 1).
Review comments: Overburden is defined as "those materials which lie between the. surface of the earth
and material deposit to be extracted." The stockpiles existing on the site do not contain overburden
materials. There are two stockpiles on the property that consist of sand and black dirt. The City is
concerned that the stockpile of' rack dirt is being hauled to the Wurdeman property and a sifting operation
is being performed rather than gaining the black dirt material on-site in an excavation and mining
operation. The City requests that the sifting operation be defined to determine if this material is being
mined on-site.
In a letter dated January 3, 2000 from Todd Brennan of Friedges, Inc. (see attached), it was stated that
topsoil would occasionally be back hauled to assist in the future restoration of the mining pit.
Additionally, the letter stated that the intention of the Wurdeman Pit was to extract fill (sand) to bring to
.
projects in the area. The City also requests that these operations be defined to determine if these
operations are being performed.
3. Section 3-22-2- Mine or Excavation: The mine or excavation definition includes the following:
A. Any excavation made by the removal of the natural surface of the earth, whether sod, dirt, soil, sand,
gravel stone, or other matter, creating depression or depressions.
B. Any area where the topsoil or overburden has been removed for the purpose of mining earthly deposits
or minerals, yet the area has remained idle since the topsoil removal.
C. Any area that is being used for stockpiling, storage, and processing of sand, gravel, black dirt, clay and
other materials.
Review comments: The Excavation and Mining Chapter of the City Code does not address the allowance
of a construction landfill. Because this is not addressed in a mining operation, the construction landfill is
illegal. The construction landfill consists of concrete, asphalt, concrete block, and concrete and steel
piping (see photos labeled #4-7).
.
The City Council approved a Conditional Use Permit on March 6, 2000 upon a positive recommendation
from the Planning Commission on February 8, 2000 to allow the continuance of the mining operation after
it was deterr::ined that the mining permit had expired because the deadline for the renewable permit was
not met. In the Planning Commission minutes dated February 8, 2000, staff informed the Commission that
there was concrete stored on the Wurdeman Property from the reconstruction of the C.S.A.H. 50 project.
Todd Brennan of Friedges, Inc. stated that they were planning on removing the concrete off-site. The City
Council minutes dated March 6, 2000 indicated that the concrete was placed on the Wurdeman property by
mistake and it would take 3 to 4 years to gather enough concrete to crush it. Todd Brennan submitted a
letter dated February 16, 2000 stating that the concrete that was to be recycled was removed from the
Wurdeman property and placed on the Huber property.
Upon review of the property by City staff on October 30, 2001, it was determined that the concrete not
only is once again stored on the Wurdeman property, but the stockpile has been added to considerably,
designating the stockpile pile as a construction landfill because of the varying construction materials
identified in the stockpile.
The above items need to be addressed before any further mining operations may resume. Therefore, the City
will not grant approval of the extension of your Excavation, Grading and Mineral Extraction Permit. A
Conditional Use Permit is required when re-applying for a permit upon compliance of the previously-
mentioned code violations.
Please call me if you have any questions concerning the above information at 651463-1820.

Area Currently Bounded By:
Single-family residential to the east, City park to the

Surrounding Zoning Districts:
R-3 (Medium Density Residential) surrounds the
property.
DISCUSSION
David Otterblad is seeking a Comprehensive Plan Amendment from Low Density Residential to
Medium Density Residential (see attached comprehensive plan) for his property at 28 Pine Street,
thereby requesting to maintain the current zoning status of R-3 on the property. As the Planning
Commission is aware, the City is currently undergoing a Zoning Map Revision and Comprehensive
Plan Amendment for a large portion of the City. The City Attorney recommended that the Planning
Commission hold a separate public hearing for 28 Pine Street to allow the property owner to address
the Planning Commission with his amendment application.
.
The 2020 Comprehensive Plan currently identifies the property at 28 Pine Street as Low Density
Residential. The plan also identifies the adjacent properties at 18 Pine Street, 10 Pine Street, and the
vacant lot between 18 and 10 Pine Street as Low Density Residential. The School District property
to the north and west of 28 Pine Street is identified as Public/Semi-Public and the area south and east
of 28 Pine Street is identified as City Park/Open Space on the 2020 Comprehensive Plan.
The property is currently zoned R-3 Medium Density Residential along with the surrounding
properties including 18 and 10 Pine Street, the vacant lot, and the School District property. The R-3
zone allows the construction of townhomes. The R-3 Medium Density Residential District
designates areas of the City for development of townhomes in areas with access to jobs, services,
public facilities, and transit and that are served with full public utilities and a residential density of
more than 5.5 units per acre.
Staff is proposing to amend the Zoning Map during the Zoning Map Revision process from R-3 to R-
2 on the properties of 28, 18, and 10 Pine Street and the vacant lot between 18 and 10 Pine Street, and
including the School District property. The R-2 zone allows for single-family and two-family
dwelling units. The R-2 Low/Medium Density Residential District is intended as an area which
incorporates older existing development as well as undeveloped land suitable for single and two
family development that are served with full public utilities. This zoning revision would require a
Comprehensive Plan Amendment from Low Density Residential to Low/Medium Density
Residential. Staff has made this recommendation for a zoning revision and comprehensive plan
amendment because this area is within close proximity and consistent with the downtown residential
district zone of R-2. This proposed zoning revision and comprehensive plan amendment will be
. discussed at the April 23, 2002 Public Hearing.

.
.
.
The property at 28 Pine Street was previously discussed at the public hearing with the Planning
Commission on March 26, 2002. At that time, the Planning Commission took comments from David
Otterblad, Phyllis Kelly and Daniel Simon. The Planning Commission requested that staff prepare
chronological history of when the properties on Pine Street were zoned R-3 and the Comprehensive
Plan identified the area as high density residential. The following information discusses the zoning
and planning ofthe area.
Chronological History of the Zoning and Comprehensive Plan for the Property
May 3, 1976 - Zoning Map identifies 28 Pine Street as R-l Low Density Residential.
August 16, 1977 - The Planning Commission begins discussions of the revised Comprehensive Plan
that will be eventually approved on October 18, 1982.
September 16, 1980 - The Planning Commission reviewed a preliminary concept for a multi-family
development (Riverside Addition) on the property owned by Mr. and Mrs. O. T. Nordseth
encompassing 160 acres, with a portion of the acreage within Empire Township. The Nordseth
property abutted the lots located on Pine Street on the north, east, and west. The owners proposed a
plan consisting of 536 dwelling units included within 134 quad homes (see the Zoning Map from
1982 for layout). The minutes stated that the property was zoned R-l and the multiple dwelling land
use was consistent with the intent of the zoning ordinance. The minutes stated the proposal could be
accommodated under existing ordinances by (a) planned unit development (b) rezoning to R-3,
multiple, or (c) special exceptions. The proposal was also consistent with the current City
Comprehensive Plan and the plan as revised.
January 13, 1981 - The City Council was asked to provide the developer with general comments
concerning the proposed multiple development (Riverside Addition) on the Nordseth property. This
would give the developer an indication to proceed or not to proceed with the development. The City
Council consented that a rezoning of the entire platted area to R-3 would be looked upon favorably.
March 16, 1981 - The City Council approves the rezoning of the Riverside Addition development
from R-l Suburban Residential to R-3 Multiple Residential and adopts Ordinance No. 081-114.
October 4, 1982 - The Zoning Map identifies 28 Pine Street as R-3 High Density Residential.
October 18, 1982 - The City Council approves Resolution No. 31-82 adopting the Farmington
Comprehensive Plan. The plan shows the property at 28 Pine Street and surrounding properties as
High Density Residential.
July 8, 1998 - The first Visioning workshop is held for the 2020 Comprehensive Plan.
March 22,2000 - The Metropolitan Council approves the Farmington 2020 Comprehensive Plan.
May 15, 2000 - The Farmington City Council approves the Farmington 2020 Comprehensive Plan
identifying 28 Pine Street as Low Density Residential.
3
. Summation of the Zoning Revision and Amendment to the Comprehensive Plan
.
.
It is apparent from the research that from 1976 to the present, the property at 28 Pine Street was
associated with its surrounding parcels (Nordseth, School District, Single-Family residences). In
1976, the Zoning Map identified 28 Pine Street, 18 Pine Street, 10 Pine Street, the vacant lot on Pine
Street, and the Nordseth property as R-l. In 1982, the Zoning Map identified all of the before-
mentioned properties as R-3 and the Comprehensive Plan showed the properties as High Density
Residential. These properties continue to be associated together with the proposal to rezone these
properties to R-2.
Staff recommends that the property at 28 Pine Street, 18 Pine Street, 10 Pine Street, the vacant lot on
Pine Street, and the School District property be within the same zoning district. Therefore, staffwill
be recommending to the Planning Commission on April 23, 2002 that these properties be revised to
R-2 Low/Medium Density Residential and be amended to Low/Medium Density Residential on the
2020 Comprehensive Plan.
There is opposition to both the amendment proposal by David Otterblad and the City. The neighbors
at 18 Pine Street and 10 Pine Street have prepared a petition to request a revision to the zoning of this
area to R-l Low Density Residential and continue to maintain the Low Density Residential land use
on the 2020 Comprehensive Plan (see attached).
Therefore, staff is recommending that the requested Comprehensive Plan Amendment from Low
Density Residential to Medium Density residential be denied on the basis that the zoning is proposed
to be revised to R-2, thereby requiring that the Comprehensive Plan be amended to Low/Medium
Density Residential. Discussions concerning the amendment to Low/Medium Density Residential
will take place on April 23, 2002 at the Planning Commission public hearing.
ACTION REOUESTED
Recommend denial of Comprehensive Plan Amendment from Low Density Residential to Medium
density Residential and forward the recommendation to the City Council.

Commission took a broad view of the proposal and confined itself to
conceptual factors only.
The multiple dwelling land use for that area presently zoned R-l, is
consi5tent with the intent of the zoning ordinan~e.
The proximity of municipal sewer and water apparently means it can be
easily served, subject to an engineering feasibility.
The proposal could be accommodated under existing ordinanc.es by: Ca)
planned unit dpvelopment (b) rezoning to R-3, multiple, or (c) special
exceptions. __.
~......"" ..
The propoc:;al is consistent with thp current C'I"t~"o;n.nrehensive Plan and
the plan as r.evised and also meets the criter'ia of ehe Metropolita'1 Council
for orderly devplopment bv expandin~ existing municipal services.
A preliminary opinion is that improvements could be installed under
Chapter 429 without assessing property outside the plat.
7) The normal plat review rro~edure will have to be interrupted in this
case diverted to the Council to obtain a _repl~ to the developer's
req11est for a committment of municipally - bonded improvements, which
is essential to the development.

8) If such a committment is obtained the normal process of plat review
can be resumed with the Planning Commission.
Motion by Hoyer, second by Gerten that the Planning Commi~sion looks favor~bly
upon the Riversine Development in concept, that the develo~er be encouraged
tv prepare a preliminary rlat and that the City Council consider commlttment
to the developer to instal! municipal services as assessible projects with
whatever contingencies the Council dep.ms appropriate. APIF, motion carried.
5. The Commission discussed with City Planner Charles Tooker his memorandum
dated August 26, 1980 dealing with the newly inacted Metropolitan Agricultural
Preserves Act and Lts effect on t:le City of Farmington, in particularly, on
the rp.centlv revised Comprehp.nsive Plan for Farmington. It was decined that
no action be t~ken at this time, but that Planner Tookp.r inve~tigate the al-
ternatives available to the City when he meets in a staff review with the
Metropolitan Council to review the revised Comprehensive Plan which has been
submitted to the Metropolitan Council.
6. The Commission reviewed with Mr. Brian Christensen, Soil and Water Conser-
vation District Representative his offer to assist the City in the plat review
process by agreeing to comment at no cost to the City on plats as they pertain
to soil erosion, storm water management, and othp.r items. Mr. Christensen
indicated that this review which he is nffp.ring could be done within the
Planning Commis~ions normal time table and would involve a five step process:
a) Introduction to land conditions.
b) Review existing conditions.
c) Critique of proposed plat
d) Methods of overcoming site limitations
e) Recommendations for overcoming environmental impacts.
Motion by Hoyer, second by Carey that the Planning Commission recommend to the
Council the execution of an agrp.em~nt between the City and the Soil and Water
Conservation District for the renderino of such services in the plat review
process.
7. Motion by Hoyer, second by Carey th~t the bill from Ch~rl~s Tooker in
the amount of $150 be approved. APIF, motion carried.
8. Motion made and seconded to adjourn ~t 9~40 P.M.

3. This special meeting had been set primarily to deal with the developmental matters
coming before the Council. The first development was that of Mr. Felix Tillges,
who was present at the meeting. Mr. Tillges first discussed with the Council his
request for approval of the preliminary replat of Block 2 of Fairhills Addition.
The intent here was to facilitate the construction of multiples within that replat.
The request for replat carried with it the favorable recommendation of the Planning
Commission. Motion by Kuchera, second by Orr to adopt RESOLUTION NO. R5-81, setting
a public hearing to consider the approval of the Replat of Block 2, Fairhills Addition
for 7:00 P.M., February 17, 1981. APIF, motion carried.
4. Mr. Tillges then explained to the Council that in conjunction with his replat was
a Petition to Rezone certain portion. of Block 2 in the Fairhills plat, presently
zoned R-l, suburban residential to R-3, multiple dwellings. Mr. Tillges explained
to the Council that this anticipated action was in response to the real estate market
and the saleability of multiple dwellings cs opposed to single fami ly dwellings.
This rezoning request had been recommended favorably to the Council by the Planning
Commission. Motion by Kuchera, second by Cummings to set a Public Hearing to consider
the rezoning of a portion of Block 2, of the Fairhills replat for 7:00 P.M., February
17, 1981. APIF, motion carried.
5. Mr. Tillges then explained to the Council his request that the City Subdivision
Ordinance be amended to permit the City Council, at the time of plat review, upon
a favorable recommendation of the Planning Commission, to apply to an entire plat or
a large segment of that plat, a front yard set-back less that that which is required
in the zoning ordinance when peculiar restrictions of terrain or other natural features
would warrant it. Motion by Orr, second by Cummings to set a Public Hearing to consider
amending the subdivision ordnance for 7:00 P.M., February 17, 1981. APIF, motion
carried.
6. Mr. Tillges then presented a petition to the Council which requested the City to
install certain improvements within a portion of the Fairhills Plat identified as
Phase 1. The Council set this matter aside until later in the meeting.
7. The next developer to appear before the Council was Mr. Curtis Fischer, represent-
ing Mathias H. and Raymond Fischer, concerning the following described land:
The East 783.91 ft. of the W. 1113.91 ft. of the S ~ of the NW~ of Section 5,
TWP 113, Range 19, except the South 643.5 Ft.
Mr. Fischer first informed the Council that he was requesting a subdivision waiver on
the above property which would create a separate parcel of the west 330 ft. abutting
210
.
on Highway #3 and presently zoned B-2, general business, said parcel consisting of
approximately 2.7 acres. The remainder of the original parcel then consisting of approx-
imately 15.1 acres. Motion by Cook, second by Kuchera that the above subdivision ~
waiver hereby be approved. APIF, motion carried.
8. Mr. Fischer then presented to the Council a petition to rezone the eastern
approximate 15.1 acres referred to above, which is presently zoned B-2, General
Business, to R-3, Multiple Dwellings. The Council was informed that such a rezoning
had received the favorable recommendation of the Planning Commission. Motion
by Kuchera, second by Orr that a Public Hearing be set in the matter for 8:00 P.M,
Feburary 17, 1981. APIF, motion carried.
9. Mr. Fischer then put before the Council a petition by this property owner to
provide certain municipal services to the property in question which would require
their being extended across Trunk Highway #3, from the Sunnyside Subdivision. The
Council set aside this petition until later in the meeting.
10. Motion by Cook, second by Orr that the City participate in the proposed League
of Minnesota Cities building program by paying a lump sum assessment of $1,522. Said
sum to be derived through an adjustment to the 1981 budget by deducting said amount
from the contingency account and inserting an entry under General Government, Capital
Outlay, Account No. 401-50, line item - LMC-Building Program. APIF, motion carried.
.
11. The City Attorney requested and advised the Council to sign and deliver a Quit
Claim Deed which would remove an alledged cloud to the title on Lot 7, Block 2, Pine
Knoll as a result of a technical oversite involving a former cartway easement which
has now been completely superseded by the platted 203rd Street. Motion by Kuchera,
second by Cummings that the Mayor and City Administrator be authorized and directed
to execute such a Quit Claim Deed. APIF, motion carried.
12. Mr. Dick Laybourn and a group of senior citizen's in the area reiterated to the
Council a request for financial support which was placed before the Council at the meeting
of January 5, 1981, with the agreement that it would be taken up again at this meeting.
The Council was informed that the senior citizen's group had formed a non-profit corp-
oration entitle the Farmington Area Senior Citizen's Center, Inc., that they intended
to acquire the building formerly occupied by Dick's Furniture, located a~ 431 - 3rd
Street, that they had secured pledges from Eureka Township and Empire Township for $750,
that they expected a pledge of $750 from Castle Rock Township and that the senior
citizen's themselves had available a sum of $2,000 and that they were now asking the
City of Farmington for its pledge of $2,000. Mr. Laybourn stated that the total of
all of the pledges would then constitute the required matching share in order to apply
for a Federal Grant in the amount of approximately $60,000, such application to be
made no later than January 15, 1981. Motion by Orr, second by Cook to adopt RESOLUTION
NO. R6-81, Pledging $2,000 to Farmington Area Senior Citizen1s Center, Inc. APIF,
motion carried.
~13. The Council then turned to consideration of the 1981 improvement fund including
~consideration of related projects. Mr. Charles Tooker appeared, representing the land
owners Mr. and Mrs. O. T. Nordseth, regarding the proposed development entitled River-
side Addition. It was explained to the Council that the developer had been before the
Planning Commission and that as a result of that advisory meeting with the Planning
Commission it was determined that certain preliminary questions had to be put before
.... the Council before the developer could or would proceed any further. It was under-
stood that these questions would be general and that necessarily the response from
the Council would be general. But it was intended that the developer be able to deter--
mine as a result of the Council response, whether to proceed or not to proceed. It
was further explained, that the developer had determined that a favorable expression
of intent from the Council was essential in four particu1Qrs and that an unfavorable
21l
.J...L
response in any of the four, would result in the decision by the developer not to
proceed. The Council took each of these factors up separately:
._,
" ..
~~;Jd
1} Annexation - Would the City of Farmington be willing to annex that portion
of the proposed plat which presently lies outside the corporate boundaries of
Farmington?
The developer presented to the City Council a copy of a letter signed by Odell
T. and Helen M. Nordseth to the Empire Town Board requesting that the Empire
Town Board agree to the annexation by Farmington of land involved in this
development presently located in Empire Township. The letter is dated January
13, 1981 and the following notation is typed at the bottom of the letter and signed
by the Town Clerk lla motion was passed on January 13, 1981, tentatively granting
the above request pending the City of Farmington1s Resolution accepting the terms
of this document", There was a consensus of the Council that the City would
look favorably upon annexation of the area in question and that the conditions
set forth in the Nordseth1s letter were agreeable.
2} Platting - Would the City Council of Farmington look favorably upon a residential
plat in that area?
.'
It was explained to the Council that a preliminary plat had not yet been developed
but the ideas of the developer had been reduced to a rendering which was then
presented to the Counci I by Mr. Charles Tooker. It showed a platting of lots
which would accomodate quadra homes, which would avoid construction of flood
plain land and which would facilitate development by stages. There was a consensus
of the Council that a residential plat would be suitable in that area and con-
sistent with the overall comprehensive plan and with zoning and subdivision
ordinances.
3} Rezoning - Will the Council look favorably upon the rezoning of the area in
question from R-l, Suburban Residential, to R-3, Multiple Dwelling?
The developer explained that the emphasis on multiple dwellings was in direct
response to the facts of life within the real estate business and that multiple
dwellings were much more saleable in the present market than single family dwellings.
There was a consensus on the Council that a rezoning of the entire platted area
to an R-3, Multiple Dwelling, would be looked upon favorably.
4) Public Improvements- Will the Council agree to install certain public improvements
in the entire plat, in stages, on an assessable basis under Statute 4291
The developer emphasized that no cost yet had been incurred in engineering and
that many questions were left yet to be answered, but that their request was
based on the assumption that a suitable plat can be prepared and that the install-
ation of public improvements would prove to be feasible and would be so recommend-
ed by the City Engineer. There was a consensus on the Council that the City
would look favorably upon the installation of certain public improvements on
an assessable basis under Chapter 429.
Motion by Orr, second by Kuchera to adopt RESOLUTION NO. R7-81, Council Resolution
of Intent, Riverside Addition. APIF, motion carried.
f\
14. The Council again took up the matter of the petition of Mr. Tillges for assessable
public improvements within certain portions of the Fairhills Plat. This request
would consist of sanitary sewer, water, streets, and storm sewer and miscellaneous
appurtenances. Phase I for these improvements would be intended to serve approximately

102 dwelling units. The petition presented to the Council, was referred to the City
Attorney for his opinion as to its adequacy. Said opinion to be delivered to the Coun- ~
cil prior to its meeting of February 17, 1981. Motion by Cook, second by Cummings t j
to adopt RESOLUTION NO. R8-81 , which orders a feasibility from the City Engineer i"j
to be presented to the Council prior to its meeting of February 17, 1981. APIF,
motion carried.
15. The Council then again discussed with Mr. Fischer his petition for public improve-'
ments on his proposed development which would consist of bringing the sanitary sewer
and water easterly across Trunk Highway #3 from the Sunnyside Addition to a point on
the property line owned by the developer. It was pointed out that this ,work in the
past, had been proposed as Project 76-6 and that plans and specifications prepared by
the deve loper at that time, had been approved, by the Counei 1. Mot i on by Kuchera, second
by Cook to adopt RESOLUTION NO. R9-81, which orders from the City Engineer a feasibility
regarding this work and said feasibility to be delivered to the Council prior to their
meeting of February 17, 1981.
16. Motion made and seconded to adjourn at 9:30 P.M.

Farmington 2020 Comprehensive Plan Update
FARMINGTON COMPREHENSIVE PLAN
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The following information reveals that the City of Farmington is at a strategic planning
crossroads, desiring to retain the "small town" character of its past and standing on the
precipice of becoming a full-fledged suburban city, almost tripling in population by the
year 2020. The 2020 Comprehensive Plan Update explores a number of issues that
require action in order to move the City forward into the next century. This plan will
serve as a compass to guide its citizens and elected officials in achieving the strategic
visions identified in the summer of 1998. Change is inevitable and may refocus original
planning visions in the future. However, with continuous visitations back to this
document in the upcoming years, the overall vision proposed in 1998 for this community
should remain intact.
As required by the Metropolitan Council, the City of Farmington has drafted the 2020
Comprehensive Plan Update in accordance with the requirements of the Local Planning
Handbook. As part of the requirements, plans are to be updated to forecast the impacts of
growth on the community to the year 2020.
The City of Farmington is located within Dakota County and is at the urban fringe of
Minneapolis and St. Paul as shown on Map 1.1. One incorporated city and three separate
townships surround Farmington. The City of Lakeville resides on the west and north of
Farmington, while Empire Township is located to the east, Castle Rock Township is
located to the south and Eureka Township lies to the southwest of the City.
Three important traffic corridors traverse the City including Trunk Highway 3, County
State Aid Highway 31/Pilot Knob Road running north and south and County State Aid
Highway 50 running east and west. These important corridors assist Farmington in
connecting to the metropolitan areas to the north.
The last revision of the Farmington Comprehensive Plan was in 1982, creating an
apparent need to update the plan at this time. The process for updating the 2020
Comprehensive Plan included visioning workshops, neighborhood meetings and a
community open house to allow citizens the opportunity to review the draft plan. The
following illustrates the dates of these important meetings:
June 11, 12, 15 & 16, 1998 - Interviews with 35 Community Leaders and City staff
July 8, 1998 - Visioning Workshop
July 29, 1998 - Visioning Workshop
October 21, 1998 - Neighborhood Meeting at Akin Elementary School Library
October 22, 1998 - Neighborhood Meeting at Farmington Public Library
October 26, 1998 - Neighborhood Meeting at Christian Life Church
September 9, 1998 - City Council/Planning Commission Workshop
November 30, I 998- Community Open House
March 17, 1999 - City Council/Planning Commission Workshop

April 14, 1999 - Plan is sent to surrounding communities for 60-day review
June 30, 1999 - Plan is submitted to the Metropolitan Council for review
The visioning workshops included elected officials, business owners, citizens and City
staff and provided the foundation for the creation of the 2020 Comprehensive Plan
Update. Upon completion of the community leader interviews, common issues were
brought to the visioning workshops for review by the attendees. The following is a list of
the most common issues addressed by the attendees:
* Maintain a vibrant and viable Downtown
* Maintain Small Town Character
* Connect north and south areas of the community
* Provide an east-west connector street
* Annexation issues
* Increase the size of the industrial park
* Public/Semi-Public Uses
* Environmental issues
.
From the visioning workshops, policies and strategies were identified to attain the goals
of the visions. The policies and strategies are addressed in the Land Use Element of this
document.
Finally, and most importantly, a number of individuals were involved with this process
and are acknowledged below, including the Farmington residents who worked with this
process to achieve a better quality oflife for Farmington in the future.
