DISCUSSION Staffhas reviewed the application and site plan submitted by the applicant and recommends that the public hearing be continued to the July 11 th Commission meeting based on the following: a) The access arrangement off of 4th Street to a proposed rear entrance across the Canadian Pacific Railroad ROW does not appear to be authorized in the contract between Mr. Steve Finden and SOO Line Railroad Company. The terms of the contract state in paragraph 9(b) that Mr. Finden leases the portion land lying 9.5 feet of the either side of the centerline of the track. Staff also requests the exhibits that identify the areas mentioned in paragraph 9(a) of same contract. b) Staffhas determined that a portion of area that the applicant proposes to utilize is for the business is within both an existing unimproved alley that runs east-west in Block 30 and also encroaches along the railroad right-of-way. Staff also notes that the Pine Street right-of-way has not been officially vacated and questions the location of the property line. c) Staff also requests-that the applicant submit a survey, completed by a registered land surveyor, due to the issues related to the Pine Street, Railroad and alley rights-of-way that are in question. The applicant should also indicate the location of proposed structures, roads and possible screening. . . .

FROM: SUBJECT: Variance from Minimum Setback Requirements in R-2 Zoning District Tim & Kelly Dougherty - 517 Spruce Street DATE: June 27, 2000 INTRODUCTION The applicants, Tim & Kelly Dougherty are seeking a 3-foot variance to construct a two-stall garage within the minimum 6-foot side yard setback in the R-2 zoning district. Planning Division Review Applicant: Tim & Kelly Dougherty 517 Spruce Street Farmington, MN 55024 Attachments: 1. Applicant's Site Plan 2. Applicant's Garage Plan 3. Letter from Neighbor Location of Property: 517 Spruce Street ., Lot Area: 10,500 square feet House Area: 600 square feet Garage Area: 480 square feet Surrounding Land Uses: Single-family residential surrounds the property. Existing Zoning: R-2 Medium Density Residential Comprehensive Plan: Low/Medium Density DISCUSSION The applicants, Tim & Kelly Dougherty, have submitted a variance application to encroach 3 feet into the required 6-foot side yard setback required in the R-2 zoning districts. The proposed garage would be placed slightly off the location of the previous garage that was removed during the last month. The applicants state that because of the limited space between the house and property line there would be some difficulty in maneuvering vehicles into the westerly stall without grazing the house. The applicants . want to also preserve as much backyard open space as possible. The applicants recently demolished their original two-stall garage in expectation that they could construct a new garage utilizing the existing foundation. The garage foundation is located two feet from the property line. The Dougherty's are willing to move the proposed garage an additional foot off of the property line, requesting a 3-foot variance from the minimum side yard setback. The applicant has discussed his plans with the neighbor to the east, Ray Juvland and he sees no problem with the construction of the garage on the existing foundation. The following requirements need to be justified to allow the 3-foot variance: 1). Literal enforcement of this Title would result in undue hardship with respect to the property. The lot was platted before 1910 with a 60-foot lot width. However, with owners proposing larger garages and additions to homes, these older lots provide a hardship to the owner in placing these types of structures on the lot. 2). Such unnecessary hardship results because of circumstances unique to the property. As mentioned above, lots platted in older areas of Farmington do not have the same opportunities to expand homes or garages, thereby creating a hardship. . 3). The hardship is caused by provisions of this Title and is not the result of actions of persons presently having an interest in the property. The current applicant was not associated with the original construction of either the home or the garage. 4). The variance observes the spirit and intent of this Title, produces substantial justice and is not contrary to the public interest. The applicant is improving the situation by moving the structure an additional foot off the side lot line, from 2 to 3 feet. 5). The variance does not permit a lower degree of flood protection than the flood protection elevation for the particular area or permit standards lower than required by State law. Not applicable to this variance. ACTION REOUESTED Staff recommends approval of the variance to encroach 3- feet into the side yard setback at 517 Spruce Street based on the hardships as described above. .

The existing garage has bordered my property line for many years and I support the issuance of a variance so that Tim & Kelly can build on the same footprint that the existing garage borders.

DATE: June 27, 2000 . INTRODUCTION John Engler has proposed to expand his existing 576 square foot garage to 1,056 square feet. The resident proposes to expand the front of the existing garage 6 feet (there is a 30' setback in the Akin Park development) and construct a 10' x 28' addition. The resident square footage of the home (principal use) is 1,027 square feet. Attached is the City Code definition of a garage and the maximum allowed size. The resident's intention is to store his boat that is approximately 28 feet in length (with trailer and outboard). . Plannim! Division Review Applicant: John Engler 19052 Enchanted Court Farmington, MN 55024 Attachments: 1. Applicant's Site Plan 2. Applicant's Garage Plan Location of Property: 19052 Enchanted Court Lot Area: 17,835 square feet House Area: 1,027 square feet Existing Garage Area: 576 square feet Proposed Garage Expansion: 480 square feet Surrounding Land Uses: Single-family residential surrounds the property. Existing Zoning: R-l Low Density Residential . Comprehensive Plan: Low Density DISCUSSION The resident, John Engler, has been discussing with city staff his options of expanding his attached garage. Staff informed the resident that the garage can not exceed 1,000 square feet as specified in the City Code, but does have the option to construct a separate or additional detached garage of 1,000 square feet to allow for the storage of a boat in addition to a workshop area. . The resident would prefer to expand the attached garage to maintain the character of the neighborhood and that a detached garage would not look appropriate on the property. Staff suggested storing the boat outside; that was not an option for the resident. Staff reviewed previous variance applications relating to exceeding maximum garage area and only found one that was denied in 1992. The Commission at that time felt that the applicant could not meet the criteria for a variance and that exceeding the maximum would set a new size standard for the City. Below are the criteria to be met to receive a variance approval. 1) Literal enforcement of this Title would result in undue hardship with respect to the property. 2) Such unnecessary hardship results because of circumstances unique to the property. 3) The hardship is caused by provisions of this Title and is not the result of actions of persons presently having an interest in the property. 4) The variance observes the spirit and intent of this Title, produces substantial justice and is not contrary to the public interest. .. 5) The variance does not permit a lower degree of flood protection than the flood protection elevation for the particular area or permit standards lower than required by State law.

MOTION by Ratty, second by Gramentz to approve the Planning Commission minutes as distributed. APIF, MOTION CARRIED. . 3. Chairman Hanson opened the public hearing scheduled for 7:00 P.M. requested by James Pluntz, 20226 Akin Road, for a variance to build a 1200 square foot storage building on his 2.6 acre lot at the above address. Planner Tooker outlined the request, drawing attention to the site plan and perspective of the proposed pole building. He indicated that the Chairman had asked about the existing storage building on the site as it would affect the size of building that could be accommodated on this site. Mr. Pluntz said tha1;""the existing building is a temporary structure built on skids and that it will be removed once the new building is in place. The City Planner then read the section of the zoning ordinance dealing with detached buildings and explained that it would be possible for the Commission to treat the proposed building as a conditional use, since everyone within 350 feet had been notified and allow construction of a storage building up to 1000 square feet in area since the existing detached str&cture would be removed. Mr. Pluntz questioned the Commission about the possibility of a variance~ It was enerall the a licant c criteria for a varianc that alar er buildin in e R- District. MOT10N by Schlawin, second by Thelen to close the public neanng. APIF, MOTION CARRIED. MOTION by Gramentz,second by Thelen to deny the variance for a building larger than 1000 square feet in area since it does not meet the criteria for a variance listed in Section 10-8-6(C), but to approve as a conditional use the construction of a detached storage building of up to 1000 square feet in area based upon the information submitted by the applicant :and subject to the removal of the existing detached structure. APIF, MOTION CARRIED. 4. Planner Tooker presented a proposed amendment to the zoning ordinance relating to arterial street screening. The proposed amendment is an outgrowth of discussions by the Development Committee, Planning Commission and City Council. An example of what may be accomplished by the amendment was approved by the City Council for Nelsen Hills Farm with respect to its frontage along Pilot Knob Road and 190th Street. There was general agreement that the ordinance meets the needs of the City where lots do not front on arterial and collector streets. MOTION by Schlawin, second by Thelen to forward the proposed amendment to the City Council with the recommendation that it should be approved. APIF, MOTION CARRIED. S.

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 Lee Smick, AICP IV f} Planning Coordinato~ FROM: DATE: June 27, 2000 SUBJECT: Proposed MUSA Expansion INTRODUCTION On March 22, 2000 the Metropolitan Council approved Farmington's 2020 Comprehensive Plan. In the plan, the City opted to illustrate the proposed MUSA areas as "undesignated MUSA reserve" rather than designating a fixed staging area. Under this scenario, the City chose to designate the acreage, types and density of land uses and local/regional service levels for each five-year stage to 2020, with the exact location of each stage unspecified to avoid land speculation. However, the City has recently been approached by a number of land owners who have requested MUSA for their property. Additionally, the attached letter from the Metropolitan Council dated April 3, 2000 advised the City that there are regional sewer system capacity limitations, therefore any development occurring in the City within the 2005-2010 staging area would be required to go through a plan amendment process. Because of the above-mentioned events, the City has recently taken steps to begin reviewing the designation of MUS A in the acreage, types and density of land uses between 2000-2005 that was provided in Table 4.1 of the 2020 Comprehensive Plan. DISCUSSION In review, the Metropolitan Urban Service Area (MUSA) provides Farmington with a regional sanitary sewer system that currently consists of 3,650 gross acres. As the City continues to grow at 275 housing units per year, additional MUSA will be required to service newly expanded areas of the City in order to provide for this growth. Farmington currently forecasts 5,775 household units to be added within the City over the next twenty years, which requires 1,750 additional residential acres of MUS A at 3.3 du/acre to satisfy the growth needs. As the Table 4.1 indicates, 1,620 acres of additional MUSA acres will be requested by the City by the year 2020 to meet the forecasted growth rates. In 1999, the City had 735 vacant residential acres within the MUSA. In terms of residential MUSA, an additional 1,060 residential MUSA acres, along with the current 735 vacant residential acres within the MUSA, provides for a total of 1,795 residential acres of MUSA that the City will . . . need to meet the forecasted residential growth. Therefore, 1,750 additional MUSA acres will be consumed by 2020 leaving 45 acres of undeveloped residential land for "unanticipated growth." Between 2000 and 2005, a total of 610 acres has been allotted for MUSA expansion. Land use categories included in the fIrSt five-year cycle are low, low/medium and medium residential, industrial and unanticipated growth. MUSA Staging Plan Table 4.1 Land Use Acres Year Low Low/ Med High Indust. Business Corom. Unanticipated Total Med Park Growth 2005 400 30 60 0 40 0 0 80 610 2010 300 0 50 0 40 0 22 120 532 2015 105 0 50 0 50 60 0 75 340 2020 0 0 63 0 0 0 0 75 138 Totals 805 30 223 0 130 60 22 350 1620 Within the table, 350 acres of additional MUSA will be spread throughout the twenty-year time frame in order to provide for "unanticipated growth." This unanticipated growth may come from annexation petitions or an unanticipated increase in building permits requiring additional acreage for development. Consequently, the City will request a total of 1,620 acres of MUSA for all land use categories until 2020. Map 4.1 indicates the locations of the proposed areas for MUSA expanSiOn. City staff has prepared a list defining the criteria utilized in determining the MUSA expansion between 2000 and 2005 in the City of Farmington. Criteria for MUSA Expansion - 2000-2005 1. Proximity of property to transportation corridors (i.e. 19Sth Street between Akin Road and TH 3, 20Sth Street between CSAH 31 and TH 3, etc.) to promote construction of transportation corridors as identified in the City's 2020 Comprehensive Plan. 2. Proximity to existing infrastructure and is economically feasible to connect to existing or planned infrastructure. 3. Property within the IndustriallBusiness Park or other industrial/commercial areas to promote tax base as identified in the City's 2020 Comprehensive Plan. 4. Proximity to central area of City (east of Akin Road and west of Trunk Highway 3) to promote the connection of the northern and southern portions of the City. 5. Property that provides location for necessary public facilities - public, quasi-public and other institutional uses. 6. Feasibility of providing municipal services (police, fire, public works or parks) to proposed property. 2 . . . 7. Variety of land uses proposed by developer (i.e. Low, Low/Medium, Medium and High Density Residential, Business, Industrial, etc.) that supports the City's 2020 Comprehensive Plan. 8. MUSA expansion areas should generally follow section lines, natural drainage ways and sanitary sewer districts. 9. Property cannot be considered for MUSA until an annexation petition has been filed and approved. As mentioned above, the City has received numerous requests from property owners both inside and outside of the corporate limits to designate MUSA to their properties for the opportunity of future development. The following table identifies requests made by the property owner, developable acres, land uses and location of the property. A detailed summary and analysis of each property is attached.

In reviewing if the land uses fall within the required acres allotted in Table 4.1, it is important to calculate the total acres by land use type as show in the following table. As witnessed below, the 276.35 acres of low density residential is below the 400 acres allotted in Table 4.1. Similarly, the low/medium residential category showing 22.8 acres falls below the 30 acres allotted. PROPERTY WITHIN CITY - RUNNING TOTALS Low Low/ Medium High Industrial Business Comm. Unanticipated Total Medium Park Growth 276.35 22.8 146.16 0 46.89 0 0 0 492.2 189.9 95 However, the medium residential category shows 146.16 acres compared to the 60 acres allotted in Table 4.1. This large separation in allotted acres is most likely explained because of the time period of 1998-1999 in which Table 4.1 was formulated. At that time, all of the developments proposed in the City were single-family residential projects, excluding Nelson Hills Townhomes. The first townhome projects of any size were Bristol Square and Glenview Townhomes that were developing in the summer of 1999. Therefore, the City did not forecast larger acreages for medium density land uses at the time the table was prepared. The City will be working with the Metropolitan Council to determine if some of the land use acreages may be shifted to other categories to project a more up-to-date profile of proposed developments in the City. The 46.89 acres of industrial land use is close to the 40 acres allotted, however a shift in land acreage needs to occur to incorporate the additional 6.89 acres required for MUSA in the Industrial Park and the construction of 20Sth Street. The remaining 80 acres of unanticipated growth has yet to be determined. Once again, unanticipated growth may include areas for which annexation petitions have been approved or an unanticipated increase in building permits requiring additional acreage for development. This allotment will most likely be determined subsequent to any future annexation petitions being approved. ACTION REOUESTED Review the above information with City staff. An additional meeting will be held on July 11, 2000 to further discuss these issues and a joint City CounciVPlanning Commission meeting will be scheduled.
