SUBJECT:
Landscape Depot Conditional Use Permit
DATE:
July 25, 2000
.
INTRODUCTION
Colin Garvey has submitted a Conditional Use Permit application for the proposed
expansion of the Landscape Depot on Lot 4 and the E~ of Lot 5, Block 30 Town of
Farmington.
DISCUSSION
The applicant submitted the application late in March, but was delayed due to being
incomplete. The original meeting date was held on June 27th, but was continued to the
July 11 th meeting due to questions relating to the proposed site plan and the request to
submit a survey of the property along with a more complete/professional site plan
indicating location of structures, drives and landscaped areas.
The following issues and/or additional information is requested from the applicant:
1) Information relating to the permitted use and crossing of the C.P. Railroad line spur
and Right-of-way that crosses diagonally across Block 30. The use of the Railroad
ROW has been conducted on Lots 1 and 2 since the previous owner of the property,
MN Department of Transportation, but not on the proposed lots.
2) The issue of the vacation of entire ROW of Pine Street has not been resolved. City
records indicate that portions of Pine Street have been vacated, but staff has not been
able to find documentation of the vacation of the complete area between 4th and 5th
Streets.
3) Staff has requested that the applicant submit a complete and professional site plan
indicating proposed uses, drive areas, parking, ingress and egresses, structures and
landscaping.
Staff contacted the applicant on July 21, 2000 to discuss his application status and the
status with submitting the remainder of the information. The applicant stated that he is
attempting to work out issues with the railroad but was reluctant to have the site plan
drawn by a professional.
.
The Conditional Use Permit process requires that the Commission make a
recommendation within 60-days, usually upon a complete submittal of the application.
Because the additional information requested by staff have not been submitted, the
application is considered to be incomplete. Because of the number of issues relating to
the property and the proposed conditional use application, staff recommends that the
applicant consider withdrawal of the application or risk that the Planning Commission
takes negative action against the application at the next scheduled meeting.
RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends that the Planning Commission continue the public hearing until the
August 8th meeting in order to allow the applicant to submit all the requested information
as stated in the memo. If the information is not submitted by that time, planning staff
will recommend that the Commission. deny the application based on insufficient
information.

4. 2nd Addition Final Plat
Located to the east of Akin Park Estates and
Limerock Ridge subdivisions, and east of the existing
1 st Addition.
Single-family residential development to the west,
proposed single-family residential to the north,
parkland to the east and future single-family
additions as part of the Autumn Glen development.
R-l Low Density - Single Family Residential
.
Existing Conditions:
This portion of the development was part of the
Conditional Use Permit that was approved in August
of last year to begin grading work for not only the 1 st
Addition, but to prep the land for the 2nd Addition
and to begin construction of future storm water
ponds.
Proposed Development:
The proposed overall development will consist of 153
single-family lots on 102.96 acres yielding a density
of 1.5 units/acre. Approximately 35.6 acres on the
east side of the development will be dedicated
alongside the existing 52 acre City parkland, creating
an 88 acre park and open space.
Lot Coverage and Sizes:
The maximum lot coverage for an R-l Single-family
zone IS 25%. The mInImum lot SIze for the
development is 10,000 sq. ft. The minimum lot
width is 75 feet. All lots within the 2nd Addition
meet the minimum width and lot size.
Streets and Accesses:
The 2nd Addition follows the road layout that was
approved as part of the overall preliminary plat. Two
roads will extend off of Embers Ave. (Durham Way
and Dundas Drive), while a road will be extended at
the intersection of 193rd Street and Embers Ave. (will
be named Dunbury Ave.).
.
Sidewalks/Trails:
A sidewalk/trail will be extended off of the 193rd
Street and Embers Ave. intersection up to the end of
Dunbury Ave. A sidewalk/trail will be required
along the east side of Embers Avenue and along the
south side of 193rd Street because of their minor
collector status per City Code requirements. A trail
will also be installed off of Dunbury Ave. and
meander through the ponds and into the City
parkland.
Topography:
This portion of the property is generally flat, but has
been rough graded as part of last year's Conditional
Use Permit approval.
Wetland:
Wetland areas exist on the eastern edge of the
property adjacent to the City-owned parkland and
along the southwest border of the site. The wetland
on the east is designated as a "utilize" classification
.
.
.
.
under the Wetland Protection Ordinance. A comer of
lot 8, block 3 will be required to be revised so as not
to extend into the wetland boundary.
Parkland and Trails:
The Parkland adjacent to the Autumn Glen
development is currently owned by the City and was
dedicated by John Malinski to meet parkland fee
requirements for this development. The Developer
proposes to dedicate the entire 35.59 acres of Outlot
A and Outlot H to the City for additional parkland
acreage.
Boulevard Trees:
The Developer proposes to place Greenspire Linden
(24), Summit Ash (52), Norway Maple (25) and
Swamp White Oak (15) throughout the 2nd Addition.
Staff will require that the Developer include the area
between Lot 8, Block 3 and Lot 1, Block 6 of the
outlot that will be dedicated to the City to be included
in the planting plan.
FINAL PLAT
The Developer is seeking Final Plat approval of the Autumn Glen 2nd Addition which
consists of 51 single-family lots on approximately 14.12 acres ofland.
Transportation
The 2nd Addition will have access to Embers Ave and 193rd Streets. Both Embers Ave and
193rd Street are considered minor collector roads. Embers Ave, with an 80-foot right-of-
way, will act as a north-south collector once the connection to future 195th Street is made
in the future development of Autumn Glen. 193rd Street is an east-west collector with an
80-foot right-of-way and connects to both Akin and Pilot Knob roads. Dunbury Avenue
will narrow down to a 70-foot right-of-way at the intersection of Embers Ave and 193rd
Street W. Durham Way and Dundus Drive, acting as local streets, contain a 60-foot right-
of-way.
Wetland Requirements
The developer has included a small comer of a lot that is encroaching into the "utilize"
type wetland found on lot 8, block 3. The City established precedence during the platting
of Charleswood 3rd Addition that portions of platted lots not encroach into an established
wetland boundary. In the case of the Autumn Glen 2nd Addition approximately 45 square
feet of the lot is within the wetland boundary. Staff has made the developer aware of the
issue and he has indicated that he would not have a problem making the modification.
.
.
.
Engineering
Engineering has completed their review of the construction plans for the 2nd Addition and
has forwarded the comments to the developer's engineer. Engineering has no significant
comments toward the construction of the proposed addition although they do point out that
the easement along the east lot line of Lot 10, Block I should be lO-feet as indicated on the
Preliminary Plat.
ACTION REQUESTED
1. Approve the Autumn Glen 2nd Addition Final Plat and forward the recommendation to
the City Council contingent on the following:
a) The Developer adjusts Lot 8, Block 3 of the 2nd Addition as to not encroach into the
wetland boundary.
b) The Developer adjusts the easement on Lot 10, Block 1 to conform to the lO-foot
easement shown on the Preliminary Plat.
c) Engineering approves the construction plans for the 2nd Addition and the Developer
enters into the Development Agreement.
d) The Developer include the area between Lot 8, Block 3 and Lot 1, Block 6 of the outlot
that will be dedicated to the City to be included in the planting plan.
Respectfully submitted,

INTRODUCTION
D R Horton and Arcon Development Inc. jointly propose to plat 177 lots within the 249-acre site
of Murphy Farm located east of CSAH 31, south of Vermillion Grove, east of Akin Road and
north of Middle Creek and the Farmington Industrial Park. The property was rezoned to R-3
PUD High Density residential on February 7,2000 with an amendment to include 35 acres to the
south of the project approved on April 3, 2000. A negative declaration, stating that the project
does not have potential significant environmental effects that warrant the preparation of an
Environmental Impact Statement was accepted by the City Council on July 17,2000.

Preliminary Plat Review
Location Property:
East of CSAH 31 (Pilot Knob Road), south of the
proposed Vermillion Grove PUD, west of Pine Knoll
subdivision and north of Middle Creek and the
Farmington Industrial Park.
Area Bounded By:
Vacant on the west, proposed single and multi-family
residential on the north, single-family residential on the
east and the river and industrial park on the south.
Existing Zoning:
R-3 PUD
Proposed Preliminary Plat:
The Developer proposes 177 lots on the preliminary plat
and is identified by the following categories:
Single-Family Residential
Multi-Family Residential
Outlot A
Outlot B
Outlot C
Outlot D
Outlot E
Outlot F
Outlot G
143 Lots
27 Lots
105 acres
449 s.f.
450 s.f.
450 s.f.
450 s.f.
14 acres
36 acres
Proposed Development:
The Developer proposes the following number of units
on the plat:
Single-Family Residential
143 units
Multi-Family (6-plex)
Multi-Family (8-plex)
Multi-Familv (10-plex)
Total Multi-Family Units
24 units
128 units
70 units
222 units
MUSA Requirements:
The Developer shows 150 units that are proposed
outside of the current MUSA boundary. The boundary
is directly south of the single-family residential units on
Lots 16, 17, 19, 20, 21, and 22 of Block 5. Everything
to the north of this line is within the MUSA.
Streets and Accesses:
The development proposes both public and private
streets, whereby the private streets will be located in the
multi-family areas and will be maintained by a
homeowners association.
2
Water, Sewer & Gas:
Water access is located at the newly constructed City
water tower and will be required to be accessed from
Vermillion Grove north of the site and sewer is
available from the newly installed Middle Creek
sanitary sewer line along the southern portion of the
property. A 100-foot wide gas line easement runs north
and south through the eastern portion of the 35-acre site.
No structures may be located within the easement.
.
Sidewalks:
A sidewalk or trail is required along the east/west
collector within this development.
Topography:
Site topography is rolling except for lower elevations in
the central and eastern portions of the site where the
wetland and drainage areas are located. The drainage
patterns generally funnel to the large wetland and
ponding areas on the site with the two southerly
wetlands and pond draining towards the south. The
northerly wetland drains towards the east and south near
the Pine Knoll subdivision.
Wetland:
The wetlands identified on the site fall into two separate
classifications. The northern and south-central wetlands
directly south of the Pine Knoll subdivision encompass
11 acres and are classified as Protect wetlands. The
southeastern wetland encompassing 6 acres is classified
as Manage I and the central wetland area encompassing
2 acres is identified as a pond boundary for a 100-year
storm event thereby not identified as a wetland. The
Protect wetland classification requires that structures
shall not be placed within a minimum of 85 feet of the
wetland. These wetlands exist in a largely unaltered
state and have special and unusual qualities that call for
a high level of protection. Manage I wetland
classifications require that structures shall not be placed
within a minimum of 40 feet of the wetland. Manage 1
wetlands have plant communities that exist largely in an
unaltered state but have a moderate floral diversity
compared to the protect wetland.
.
Flood Plain:
The current Middle Creek floodplain delineation has bee
identified on Sheet 8 of 20 showing the existing 100-
year floodplain and the proposed 100-year floodplain.
As shown on Sheet 14 of20, Lot 4 Block 6 and Lot 4,5
and 6 in Block 7 are identified within the proposed 100-
year floodplain. Bonestroo is conducting a detailed
study of the floodplain in this area at the request of the
Developers.
.
3
.
.
.
Parkland and Trails:
The Developer proposes a 2-acre park area on the
northern boundary of the site that will be shared with the
Vermillion Grove PUD to the north. Additional parks
have been proposed along the southern property line the
existing floodplain. The location and configuration of
park land to be dedicated will need to be approved by
the Parks & Recreation Commission.
Additional Comments
Plat Name
The Dakota County Surveyor has identified that the Murphy Farm plat name has been used for a
plat in the City of Eagan, therefore the plat is required to be renamed.
MUSA Issue
The preliminary plat shows 150 villa units outside of the current MUSA boundary. Of the 150
units, 56 units along CSAH 31 and south of the MUSA boundary containing 6.5 acres has been
reviewed by the City Council at the April 3, 2000. At this meeting, the Council authorized the
redesignation of MUSA from the Riverbend property to the 6.S-acre site and directed staff to
begin the redesigation process (see attached City Council Minutes - 4/3/00).
However, the 128 units shown outside of the MUSA are identified as a premature subdivision in
the zoning code (11-2-4 (A-I) and are not allowed to be platted at this time. As the Planning
Commission is aware, the MUSA Staging Plan is being reviewed and this area may be included
within the MUSA at a later date. However, the Developer needs to eliminate the 128 units from
the first phase of the Murphy Farm Preliminary Plat.
Parks & Trails Issue
As indicated in the staff memo from Jim Bell, Parks & Recreation Director, the park
requirements for the Murphy Farm Preliminary Plat have not been fulfilled. The Parks &
Recreation Commission have requested that a park be provided in the southern portion of the
project. Although a park was indicated on the Murphy Farm PUD, it was shown entirely within
the floodplain of Middle Creek. The Parks & Recreation Commission require that a park site be
identified in the southern portion of the project that is not susceptible to flooding and is large
enough to provide space for a ballfield.
A second park is located in the northern portion of the project on the peninsula between the two
wetlands and will be jointly shared by Vermillion Grove to the north. This park is approximately
2 acres in size and has been recommended by the Parks & Recreation Commission.
Transportation Issues
The preliminary plat shows three accesses from the property. The first access is 203rd Street
(Street C) to the west that intersects with Pilot Knob Road and is proposed with a 70-foot right-
of-way and 40-foot roadway measured from the back of curb to the back of curb. This roadway
is shown as a future east/west minor collector on the 2020 Thoroughfare Plan. A majority of the
4
.
.
.
traffic is expected to enter and leave the property from this access, thereby requiring a left turn
lane on Pilot Knob Road into the development.
The second access (Street A) connects to the north through the proposed Vermillion Grove
development. This access is also considered a north/south minor collector running the length of
the site with a jog along 203rd Street in the northeastern portion of the site. This roadway is also
proposed with a 70-foot right-of-way width with a 40-foot roadway measured from the back of
curb to the back of curb.
The third access (Street J) intersects CSAH 31 through the Villa Townhomes along the southern
portion of the property. The roadway is proposed with a 60-foot right-of-way and 30- foot
roadway measured from the back of curb to the back of curb. This roadway is proposed to
provide a southerly east/west local street, however, because of the proposed traffic along this
roadway, City staff recommend that the roadway width be increased to 34 feet measured from
the back of curb to the back of curb. This roadway does not meet the City's criteria for a 28-foot
wide street due to the function of the roadway as a local collector. Therefore, the City's typical
street standard of 34-foot measured from the back of curb to the back of curb is required.
Because of the requirement, the configuration of the townhomes need to be modified to prevent
Buildings 4 and 5 in Lot 6 and 4,5, and 6 in Lot 7 from being shifted into the proposed Middle
Creek floodplain.
Roadways associated with the multi-family areas will be private streets shown at 24 and 30-foot
back to back and will be maintained by a homeowners association.
Gas Pipeline Issue
As shown on the preliminary plat, a 100-foot wide gas pipeline easement runs north/south
through the property. In some locations along the pipeline, the housing pads encroach upon the
easement line. The gas company does not allow encroachment of structures, sheds or decks
within the pipeline easement. Therefore, it may be problematic to attach decks to the rear of
homes near the easement. The City is requesting that the Developer make homebuyers aware of
the easement or redesign the plat in certain areas near the pipeline in order to alleviate future
problems with homeowners desiring decks or sheds within their backyards.
Land Acquisition
At the January 11, 2000 Planning Commission meeting, the Commissioners recommended
approval of the Murphy Farm Schematic PUD to rezone the property to R-3 PUD with the
exception of the Wilson property. The Steve Wilson property at 5200 W. 203rd Street (shown as
an exception on the plat) lies in the north-central portion of the site and consists of 4 acres. The
property is not part of the Murphy Farm Preliminary Plat review and remains R-l.
The remaining issue is the Daniel McCarthy property at 5014 W. 203rd Street located south of
an easement proposed for the continuation of 203rd Street and east of the Murphy Farm
Preliminary Plat. The eastern half of the preliminary plat is shown as an outlot, therefore a
resolution of the easement is not required at this time. Further platting of the property towards
the east will require a resolution to the easement issue.

Housing Characteristics
The developer proposes two different product types available at all times during the development
of the property. A total of 143 single-family lots will be developed along with 222 villa units in
the preliminary plat.
Single-family housing prices are proposed to range from $180-250,000. The proposed width for
the single-family lots is between 75 to 85 feet. The villa unit is proposed at $1l0-125,000 and
are two-story, 6, 8 and 10-unit buildings.
Population Projections
The developer has estimated that at total build-out the population of the Murphy Farm PUD will
be near 1,730 persons. These projections include 3.5 people per single-family household,
representing approximately 1.5 children per single-family household. The villas were
approximated at 1.8 people per unit and 0.1 children per unit.
Engineering Requirements
The Engineering Division has a number of issues concerning the Murphy Farm Preliminary Plat.
The attached memo requires plat, street, utility and storm water issues to be reviewed and revised
per Engineering requirements.
Summary of Requirements
1. The plat name for Murphy Farm needs to be renamed due to the name being previously used
on another plat in Dakota County.
2. The 128 units shown outside of the MUSA are identified as a premature subdivision in the
zoning code (11-2-4 (A-I) and are not allowed to be platted at this time.
3. The Parks & Recreation Commission require that a park site be identified in the southern
portion of the project that is not susceptible to flooding and is large enough to provide space
for a ballfield.
4. Street J is proposed to provide a southerly east/west local street, however, because of the
proposed traffic along this roadway, City staff require that the roadway width be increased to
34 feet measured from the back of curb to the back of curb rather than the proposed 30-foot
back to back. Because of the requirement, the configuration of the townhomes will need to
be modified to prevent Buildings 4 and 5 in Lot 6 and 4, 5, and 6 in Lot 7 from being shifted
into the proposed Middle Creek floodplain.
S. Request that the Developer make homebuyers aware of the gas pipeline easement so that
future applications for decks or storage sheds are taken into account and do not encroach
within the easement.
6. Approval of the Murphy Farm Preliminary Plat is contingent upon all engineering
requirements being addressed.
Because of the need to revise the preliminary plat to meet the above-mentioned requirements,
City staff recommends that the Murphy Farm Preliminary Plat be continued to the August 8,
2000 Planning Commission meeting so that these revisions may be reflected on the preliminary
plat.

.
.
.
ACTION REQUESTED
Staff is recommending that the public hearing be opened and that comments from both the public
and Commission members be taken. However, based on the above-mentioned items that have
been identified by the City, it is recommend that the public hearing be continued to the August 8,
2000 Planning Commission meeting to allow time for revisions to be addressed.

Murphy Farm PUD
DATE:
July 19, 2000

Parks and Recreation Commission (P ARAC), it has been noted that the requirements
have not been fulfilled. The P ARAC has indicated a desire to have one park on the
southern boundary of the PUD that is not susceptible to flooding. The following items
have been noted on the preliminary plat:
. The :t two acres on the tip of the peninsula have been recommended by the P ARAC.
. No park has been indicated for the area on the south boundary of the PUD. The
developer must indicate to the P ARAC where this park is to be located and the flood
conditions of the area. The park area must be large enough to accommodate a
ballfield.

Consider Ordinance Amendment - Murphy Farm POO AmendmentlMUSA
Redesignation
D R Horton and Arcon Development have entered into a purchase agreement with
Genstar Land Company to purchase an additional 35 acres directly to the south of
the Murphy Farm PUD owned by D R Horton and Arcon. The developers
propose approximately 204 additional multi-family villa units coupled with the 92
villa units already approved in the original Murphy Farm PUD totaling 252 two-
story villa townhome units. The 35-acre piece proposes a collector access to the
west to connect with CSAH 31 and an access to the east connecting with the
north/south collector street in the Murphy Farm PUD. A sidewalk or trail is
required along the east/west collector. The development proposes both public and
private streets, whereby the private streets will be located in the multi-family
areas and will be maintained by a homeowner's association.
The open space/park area has been identified within the FEMA floodplain. Staff
recommends that park siting issues be delayed until the environmental assessment

worksheet and floodplain delineation study is completed to determine if the
proposed park land along the southern boundary of the site is outside of the actual
100-year floodplain.
Staff recommended approval of the MUSA request for the following reasons:
1. The Riverbend property within the current MUSA will most likely not be
utilized until 2005 or later whereas the 6.5 acres of the MUSA expansion
area on the Murphy Farm property will be developed within the next 1-3
years.
2. The same property owner is proposing the MUSA swap.
3. The City has designated this east/west roadway in the Murphy Farm PUD
as a minor collector and therefore, is important to the City's overall
transportation system.
MOTION by Strachan, second by Cordes to adopt ORDINANCE 000-452
approving the Murphy Farm PUD Amendment contingent on the delineation of
the floodplain and the acceptance of the location of a neighborhood park by the
Parks and Recreation Commission. APIF, MOTION CARRIED. Council also
authorized redesignation of MUS A from the Riverbend property to the Murphy
Farm property and directed City staff to begin the MUSA redesignation process
with the Metropolitan Council.

Consider Contribution - Dakota City Heritage Village
Dakota City has requested a donation for the Friends of the Village program. As
this request was not included in the budget, Council agreed they could not
authorize the donation.
d) Metropolitan Council Action on Comprehensive Plan Update

of Farmington and Empire Township at their March 22, 2000 meeting. The
Metropolitan Council indicated in their written review that "City officials and
City staff should be commended for their cooperation and excellence in their
planning effort." Staff will coordinate the necessary zoning text and map
