Location of Property: East of Trunk Highway 3, south of County Road 66, west of the Prairie Waterway and Cambodia Avenue and north of 208th and 209th Streets. Area Bounded By: Streets surround the property on the north, south and west. Empire Township surrounds the property on the east, north and south with single-family residential on the west and south and open space on the north. The Prairie Waterway is located to the east of the property within the City limits of Farmington. Existing Zoning: R-3 PUD Proposed Development: The development proposes 237 housing units constructed on approximately 64.3 acres. The proposed land uses are as follows: Single-Family Carriage Homes Townhomes Commercial Park 3.82 units/acre 9.40 units/acre 8.23 units/acre N/A N/A 71 units 134 units 32 units 7.1 acres 4.5 acres Streets and Accesses: The development proposes seven accesses from the property including five along the south side to 208\11 and 209111 Streets and two accesses to County Road 66 on the north. 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. Water & Sewer: Water access is located within the Trunk Highway 3 right-of-way along the east side of the roadway. However, the water service terminates at the American Legion, approximately 620 feet to the south of the Tamarack Ridge development. The City's 2000 Trunk Water Main project proposes the installation of a water main along Trunk Highway 3 and along the SE Trunk Sanitary Sewer line to service the Tamarack Ridge project. City sewer currently exists within the eastern and central portions of the site. Sidewalks: Sidewalks are shown on one side of the public streets within the single-family area. A sidewalk is also shown along the north boundary of the rental townhome area. Topography: Site topography is generally flat with an occasional inundation of standing water at the northwest comer of the site. 2 . . . Wetland: No wetlands exist on the site. The Prairie Waterway to the east of the property is designated as a greenway corridor, however, no wetland designation has been granted for this area. Flood Plain: No floodplains exist on this property. Parkland and Trails: The developer proposes a 4.5-acre park area on the southern portion of the property along 209th Street and Cantana A venue. The Parks & Recreation Commission has approved a ballfield and play structure in the park. Bituminous paths are located throughout the project and will be a part of the City's trail system. The trail shown on the plat runs from west to east along 209th Street then turns north along the west side of the proposed neighborhood park in Outlot B. The trail eventually runs along the north side of 209th Street to the east and will connect with the trail in the Prairie Waterway. DISCUSSION Phasing of the Development James Development Company will develop the single-family residential property. The Developer proposes 71 single-family lots. The lots range from a minimum of 9,000 to 18,000 square feet. The Developer proposes that the single-family homes will be constructed in 2002 and will be at full build-out by 2004-2006. A large percentage of the lots will accommodate split-entry homes because of the high water table, however, the Developer proposes full-basement homes on as many lots as possible. The housing prices may range from $120,000 to $180,000. The Carriage Homes will be developed by Centex Homes and will consist of 134 two-story condominiums in 8 to lO-unit buildings and will be part of a homeowner's association. The Carriage Homes will begin construction within 1 to 2 years ofthe project's approval. The Fannington Family Townhome project will be constructed by Jim Deanovic of Farmington Family Housing Limited Partnership. The project will consist of 32 rental units on 3.8 acres in the southwestern portion of the site. The Developer proposes the Fannington Family Townhomes to be developed within the first year of the approval by the City. The Developer proposes the commercial area to be constructed between 3 to 5 years. The Developer will pursue the development of the commercial area upon the connection of CR 66 and 208th Street to the west. Possible uses within the commercial area include a gas station, dry cleaner, insurance office, etc. along with a possible location of a day care within the 7 . I-acre site. Further discussions concerning the commercial uses on the site will commence when the Developer plats the commercial area. 3 . Transportation Issues The preliminary plat shows seven accesses from the site, five along the southern border accessing to 20Sth and 209th Streets and two along the northern border accessing CSAH 66. At this time discussions between the City and the Developer continue concerning the width of the private roadways within the Centex area and the access at Cantana Avenue and 20Sth Street. Dakota County's Plat Commission reviewed the accesses along CSAH 66 on April 3, 2000 and determined that the northerly access is too close to the driveways to the north and should be relocated to the south to meet the County's Access Spacing Guidelines of an l/Sth mile (see attached). This would eliminate the southerly access on CSAH 66. The Developer reviewed the plat with the County prior to the Plat Commission's review and was told that the accesses would be allowed. Since this dispute needs to be resolved, the Planning Division recommends that the preliminary plat be continued. Construction of 208/h and 209'h Streets The City has been working with Empire Township to determine if the Developer or the Township will install water main in the 209th Street right-of-way. The Township has approached the township residents concerning hook ups for township water; however, they will also give the residents the opportunity to review Farmington's costs for hooking up with the City, requiring the residents to annex into the City. Empire Township will hold a meeting on April 25, 2000 to present the cost issues to the residents. Since there has not been a resolution concerning this matter, the Engineering Division recommends that the preliminary plat be continued on this issue. . Utilities including Sewer, Water and Storm Sewer The Engineering Division has reviewed the utilities proposed on the site (see attached) and they recommend that the plat be continued due to the number of engineering issues concerning the utilities. ACTION REQUESTED Staff recommends that the Planning Commission continue the review of the Tamarack Ridge Preliminary Plat until the following issues are resolved: 1. The access issues on CSAH 66 are resolved between the Developer and Dakota County. 2. The water main issues are resolved between the City and Empire Township. 3. Issues concerning the sanitary sewer, water and storm sewer are resolved.

See attached letters from the Metropolitan Council, Dakota County, Dakota County Soils and water Conservation District, and Minnesota Department of Transportation. SANITARY SEWER . Confine sanitary sewer to street right-of-way and avoid routing sewer through yards. Route sanitary mains for the single family and a portion of the multifamily units west along 20Sth Street to the existing trunk sanitary. The sanitary sewer layout needs to be revised. . For future sanitary service to the northeast of the project provide for a minimum depth of 10.5'. W ATERMAlN . . Confine watermain to street right-of-way and avoid routing mains through yards, the waterrnain layout needs to be revised. . 16" trunk watermain (east/west and north/south) needs to be routed through the development. Refer to the City of Farmington Water Supply and Distribution Plan. . STORM SEWER . Minimize storm sewer placed outside of street right-of-way, the storm sewer layout needs to be revised. . Do not use flared end sections to pick up backyard drainage. Utilize 27" catchbasin manholes with R-4342 castings. . The storm sewer drainage along 209th Street West, Cantata Avenue and 20Sth Street West needs to be addressed. . Submit storm and ponding calculations with revised alignments. . Minimum cover for storm sewer is 2.0' in grassed area, 2.5' in streets. . The drainage routed to the end of the cul-de-sac in the multifamily area needs to be picked up with a storm sewer structure. . The issues raised in Erik Peters memo dated 4/13/00 need to be addressed (see attached). STREETS . Discuss with the City the road alignments within the multifamily area. . The radius within the cul-de-sac (multifamily area) is inadequate for the turning of City garbage trucks and fire vehicles. .

Memo n Bonestroo Rosene G Anderflk & 1\11 Assodates Engineers" At_ea, Project Name: Tamarack Ridge Client: City of Farmington To: Lee Mann File No: 141-99-? From: Erik Peters Date: 4/13/00 Re: Review of Tamarack Ridge hydrology map dated 2/14/00 and hydraulic calculations dated 3/2/00. General Remarks: The development site contains two ponding areas that are identified as trunk stormwater ponds in Farmington's 1997 Surface Water Management Plan (SWMP). The ponds in the SWMP are VR-P1.15 and PW-P1.17. 100-year runoff rate control requirements for each pond are specified in Appendix B. The allowable 100- year peak discharge for Ponds VR-P1.15 and PW.P1.17 are 27 and 47 cfs respectively. The water quality protection criteria are based on the quality of the nearest downstream waterbody. For Pond VR-P1.15, the wetlands along the Vermillion River were not inventoried and classified. Further upstream the Vermillion River was given the highest protection classification (Protect) due to its classification as a DNR designated trout waters. The portion of the Vermillion River adjacent to the project site is not classified as trout water. Therefore the protection classification may not be as stringent. The water quality protection standard under Protect criteria is the more restrictive of phosphorus loading of 0.28 Ibs/acre/year or outflow cone. 150 ppb. Pond PW-P1.17 drains into the Prairie Waterway. The nearest waterbody is PW-P1.18 that has been given a Manage 1 classification. Therefore, the water quality standard for PW-P1.18 is Manage 1 criteria (Modeled phosphorus outflow conc. 150 ppb using Pond NET). The submitted documents were conceptually reviewed at this time. A more detailed review will occur under the normal development review process. Issues that were identified at this time are discussed below. Floodplain elevations noted are obtained from current FEMA floodplain maps. SWMP Pond PW-P1.17 (Tamarack Ridge Pond 6): Due to backwater effects from the Vermillion River and Pond PW-P1.18, the 1 DO-year HWL for the pond will be no lower than 888'. The 1 OO-year water surface profile elevation of the Vermillion River at the outlet of Pond PW-P1.18 is 888'. Bonestroo, Rosene, Anderllk and Associates 2335 West Highway 36 + St. Paul, MN 55113 + Phone: 651-636-4600 + Fax: 651-636-1311 Memo .11. Bonestroo ... Rosene -=- AncIerlik & U Associates EnglneetS .. Atchllects . Drainage from CSAH 66 ROWand backlots of Tamarack Ridge should be incorporated into the pond's watershed. Currently the area is proposed to follow an existing ditch along CSAH 66 to the northeast. It may only be possible at this time to design the storm sewer system to handle future drainage from the area in question. With the additional drainage area, the pond's total drainage area will be approximately 38.4 acres. The pond currently falls short of meeting Manage 1 protection criteria for water quality. The pond is currently large enough to meet the rate control requirements of the SWMP. To promote downstream channel stability in the Prairie Waterway and Vermillion River, additional rate control for the smaller, more frequent storm events (2-year and below) is recommended. A two-stage outlet restricting flow to estimated pre-agricultural conditions for the 2-year storm event is the recommended target. SWMP Pond VR-P1.15 (Tamarack Ridge Ponds 1- 4): The pond is currently shown as a series of ponds. The outlet elevations of each pond will be within a foot of each other. The similar elevations will allow the connecting drainage pipes to be designed as hydraulic equalizers. . The 100-year water surface profile elevation of the Vermillion River adjacent to the pond ranges between 892.5' and 891' as the river flows east. The 10-year water surface profile ranges between 891' and 889.5'. The design outlet elevation of the last pond (Pond #4) is currently 890'. The pond itself is located uphill from the existing 890' contour. The pond's outlet elevation and location are as recommended in previous discussions with the developer's engineers. The intent of Pond #4's location and outlet elevation was as follows: 1. The pond is located on the fringe of the 1 OO-year floodplain for the Vermillion River. 2. Floodplain storage volume impacts are minimized. Any fill within the 1 OO-year floodplain will need to be compensated through compensatory volume replacement. 3. Backwater from a flooding Vermillion River will have limited effect on the pond's hydraulic characteristics. . 4. The separation between the river and the pond is such that the pond's water quality protection characteristics won't be compromised for the target storm events. Bonestroo, Rosene, Anderlik and Associates 2335 West Highway 36 + 51. Paul, MN 55113 + Phone: 651-636-4600 + Fax: 651-636-1311 Memo n Bonestroo -=- Rosene ~ Anderfik & 1\11 Assodates EIIglneetS & Architects . Pond VR-P1.15 was designated in the SWMP as a trunk pond because it would serve a drainage area over 50 acres in size. Approximately 23 acres of the drainage area is within the Tamarack Ridge Development. The remainder of the watershed (approximately 27 acres) drains onto the site across 209th Street. Most of the existing off-site drainage likely flows along Trunk Highway 3 ditch. For the series of ponds to receive full credit as a trunk facility, the offsite drainage will need to be captured and brought into the pond system (specifically the southernmost pond). How the development proposes to physically bring the off-site drainage into the southernmost pond (Pond #1) is has not been addressed at this time and should be soon. The pond north of CSAH 66 (Pond #4) use for rate control is negligible as currently designed. Pond #4, as currently designed allows for only 2 feet of bounce during the 100-year storm event. The other ponds (Ponds #1 - #3), south of CSAH 66 have over 4 feet of available bounce. Pond #4 as currently designed is a separate system because of the differences in available pond bounce. The peak discharge from Pond #4 will equal the peak discharge from the culvert under CSAH 66. The culvert under CSAH 66 linking Ponds 1-3 with Pond 4 provides rate control for the overall system. The pond north of CSAH 66 may not . be needed. The pond system discharging under CSAH 66 as currently designed appears to meet Manage 1 criteria for water quality protection assuming no additional offsite ponding. The pond system south of CSAH 66 is currently large enough to meet the rate control requirements of the SWMP assuming existing land use south of 209lh Street (low density single family residential). The ultimate size of the ponds will be dependent on the land use assumptions made for the offsite drainage area. Some of the issues that need to be addressed at this time are as follows: 1. The floodplain wetlands adjacent to the Vermillion River need to be classified by the City. For the City to classify the wetland, a MNRAM sheet will need to be filled out for the wetland and given to the City. The MNRAM sheet will be used by the City to classify the wetland per the City's wetland protection ordinance. 2. The City should review the ultimate land use for the offsite drainage area south of 209lh Street at this time. . 3. How offsite drainage will be conveyed to the ponds within Tamarack Ridge needs to be addressed. Scenarios include: Bonestroo, Rosene, Ander/ik and Associates 2335 West Highway 36 + St. Paul, MN 55113 + Phone: 651-636-4600 + Fax: 651-636-1311 . . . Memo n ::::100 -=- Andertlk & 1iJ1 Associates En9/fIe- &An:hllects a. Splitting the regional Pond VR-P1.15 into two sites by planning for a future pond south of 20ath Street to reduce the size of the storm pipe required for conveying runoff through Tamarack Ridge development. Rate control requirements and trunk credits would be split between the two ponding locations. This may be the preferred scenario if the offsite area redevelops into a more intensive land use. b. Design of storm pipe to convey existing runoff rates through Tamarack Ridge. Ifthe area redevelops, a rate controllwater quality pond will be needed at the inlet to the pipe. c. Should the ponds in Tamarack Ridge be designed with the capacity to treat runoff from the offsite area? Currently, the City's policy is to require each development to treat their own water prior to discharge from their property or a cash dedication to the City if adequate ponding is not feasible. The offsite area is large enough to develop an adequate pond should the property redevelop. Bonestroo, Rosene, Anderlik and Associates 2335 West Highway 36 + 51.

DAKOTA COUNTY SOIL AND WATER CONSERVATION DISTRICT Dakota County Extension and Conservation Center 4100 220th Street West, Suite 102 Farmington, MN 55024 Phone: (651 D OO-FRM-012 April 4, 2000 APR -4311) Ms. Lee Smick City of Farmington 325 Oak Street Farmington, Minnesota 55024 RE: REVIEW OF THE PRELIMINARY GRADING PLAN FOR TAMARACK RIDGE Dear Lee: The Dakota County Soil and Water Conservation District (SWCD) has reviewed the development plans for the above-mentioned site. This project entails 71 single-family residential lots, 15 SilO-unit townhomes, and 8 4-unit townhomes on 64 acres. The following letter provides comments and suggestions regarding (1) wetlandlshorelandlfloodplain issues and Hwy 66 pond construction (2) erosion controls and (3) conservation site design. WetlandJShorelandIFloodplain Issues and Hwy 66 Stormwater Pond Construction The plan shows the location of the 100-year floodplain of the Vermillion River, however the edge of delineated wetland is not shown. Please forward a copy of the wetland delineation report to our office if one was completed. If the report is not available, a delineation should be conducted prior to preliminary plat approval. The proposed stormwater pond located west ofHwy 66 is shown to be partially within the 100-year floodplain ofthe Vermillion River. This area is also within the shoreland overlay district within Empire Township. Please contact Tom Berry, the Dakota County Shoreland Zoning Officer, regarding necessary permits to grade within the shore land and floodplain of the Vermillion River. The Dakota SWCD further suggests that all areas within 300 feet of the Vermillion River comply with shoreland zoning standards adopted by Dakota County. Once all necessary permits are obtained, the Dakota SWCD encourages the establishment of native wetland and riparian species within and adjacent to the stormwater pond proposed northwest of Hwy 66 to create more natural habitat and further minimize the impacts of the proposed development on the Vermillion River and downstream residents. Contact our office for detailed planting recommendations and infonnation regarding potential cost-share grant opportunities for native vegetation establishment. Erosion and Sedimentation Control Observations and Recommendations We observed the following regarding erosion and sediment controls on the plan: 1. Six stormwater ponds. 2. Silt fence at the western and southern grading limits. 3. Erosion control notes regarding topsoil, permanent seeding, and mulching. Because of the site's proximity to the Vermillion River, effective erosion and sedimentation control is imperative. Accordingly, we offer the following comments and recommendations: 1. Construct the stormwater ponds (with emergency overflows and stabilized outlets) promptly and use them as temporary sediment ponds during construction. Stabilize these ponds immediately upon construction. AN EQUAL OPPORTUNITY EMPLOYER -:: . . . Tamarack Ridge OO-FRM-012 2 2. Install temporary risers at the pond outlets to optimize sediment trapping efficiency. 3. Install energy dissipation devices at all storm sewer outlets. Show the type and location of all energy dissipation devices on the plan. 4. Show the type and location for all pond overflows. The Outlot D and Hwy 66 ponds do not show any stabilized overflows. 5. In accordance with the NPDES General Stormwater Permit, the applicant must stabilize all exposed soil areas within 100 feet of a water of the state or any stormwater conveyance system which is connected to a water o/the state must be stabilized within 7 days (steeper than 3:1 slopes), 14 days (10:1 to 3:1 slopes), or 21 days (flatter than 10: I). This would include the entire site unless it can be shown that no runoff will leave the site. The Erosion Control Notes on the plan should be changed to reflect these temporary stabilization requirements. 6. Install straw bales, silt fence, a double row of sod, or alternative device behind curbs (immediately after curb construction) and a rock entrance pad to minimize sediment runoff from lots during building construction. Encourage the developer to work with the builders to make sure they understand the importance of keeping these sedimentation controls intact. 7. Include notes regarding NPDES permit requirements on the plan, including inspection and maintenance timing. 8. Install a rock construction entrances and show the location of the entrances on the plan. 9. Include temporary and permanent seeding and mulching specifications on the plan. 10. Include locations and specification of all erosion controls on the plan. Conservation Site Design Consider incorporating the following conservation site design practices into the plan to minimize stormwliter impacts: . 1. Reduced street widths to reduce impervious areas. 2. Convey stormwater via dry grassed swales rather than stormsewers. 3. Incorporate bioretention areas on all10ts. 4. Provide information to prospective homeowners on further LID practices such as dry wells, rain barrels, and porous pavement. The Dakota SWCD has cost-share grants available to install conservation site design practices. Contact our office for more information. Thank you for the opportunity to review this plan. Because the sites will disturb more than five acres, a National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) General Stormwater Permit is required. Good implementation, consistent monitoring, and maintenance of all erosion control measures are important to minimize erosion on this construction site.

Olson Community Development Director City of Farmington 325 Oak Street Farmington, MN 55024 RE: Tamarack Ridge Development T. H. 3 and County Road ~6 BMI Project No. Tll.20171 Dear Mr. Olson: We have reviewed the issues in need of discussion from your letter dated February 18,2000. We concur that these issues must be addressed before the project can proceed. 1) Proposed Improvements and future maintenance responsibilities for the existing roads along the south side of the development: Empire Township has no current plans or time frame for upgrading the existing roads that abut the proposed Tamarack Ridge Development. We plan to meet with the adjacent property owners before we respond specifically to this issue. Because of the traffic volumes associated with the proposed development, we feel the abutting roads should be paved and curbed as part of the P. U. D. Concerning the maintenance responsibilities, Empire Township will continue to own these sections of roadways and provide the maintenance and plowing. We will ask for cooperation from the City of Farmington concerning the costs incurred in plowing and future maintenance such as crack filling, seal coating and overlays. Furthermore, Empire Township will want a Township representative involved in the observation of the reconstruction of these streets to include, but not limited to, being present for a roll test prior to installation of aggregate base Class 5 and bituminous surfacing. We will require that the street section be designed by an independent soils engineer based on R-values of the soils provided.

First, please provide sufficient design data to the Township Engineer showing that the pond will function properly. The proposed pond is located partially in the flood plain and mostly within the 300' shoreline and typically, this area is under water in the spring. What efforts will be in place to prevent runoff into the river, which would negatively affect the riparian area and the trout populations? Efforts to protect and restore this area are currently in the planning stage by the DNR and Dakota County Soil and Water. A 300' buffer or greenway along both sides of the Vermillion River in this area is Phase I of the Empire Vermillion River Greenway. Finally, the Dakota County Soils and Water Conservation District and Dakota County Shoreland Zoning have expressed concerns for this proj ecl. Second, concerning annexation of the pond areas, it is our understanding from the Township Board that annexation north of County Road 66 will not be considered. There may be some possible alternatives that can be discussed, mainly a park dedication to Empire Township of the property north of County Road 66 which is currently the Severson property. We assume that the pond and outlet maintenance will be provided by the City of Farmington and thus an agreement to this effect will be necessary. We would like to restore native prairie and wet meadow to this area. Mr. Thomas Lewanski of Friends of the Mississippi River (p. M. R.), Mr. Kevin Bigalke of Metro Region Trout Stream (DNR) and the Dakota County Soil and Water Conservation District are partners in Empire Township's efforts to create the Empire Vermillion River Greenway. The following are our goals and objectives: Goals A. Work with landowners to permanently protect (where possible) a minimum of a 300-foot natural buffer along both sides of the Vermillion River on a voluntary basis. B. Restore natural/native plant communities to the greenway. C. Provide public use and enjoyment of this greenway and of the Vermillion River. D. Repair any streambank areas that have erosion problems. E. Educate greenway visitors regarding general ecology and greenway concepts and place specific natural history. F:\EMPI\Tl120171\olson228.wpd . Ob1ectives A. Obtain dedicated park land, fee simple title or conservation easements on privately owned land within the 300 foot buffer zone on each side of the river. This will be done on a strictly voluntary/willing seller basis. B. Utilize up-to-date restoration ecology science to restore native vegetation in the buffer. C. Utilize state-of-the-art bioengineering practices to repair steambank erosion problems. D. Plan and develop a multi-use trail that is located on the outside edge of the buffer to protect its ecological functions. E. Plan and develop river access points for fishing. F. Plan, develop, and implement environmental education media for greenway (e.g. kiosks, signage). 3) The possibility of Township properties along 209h Street wishing to access city water services: We are currently looking into possible water needs of our residents along 209th Street. A neighborhood meeting is currently being scheduled for March 14th. . We are also concerned that construction in this area may cause problems to some of the local domestic wells. Mr. Rick Gilmer reports that dewatering methods have cause considerable problems in the past. Please address this item prior to construction of this project. Thank you for including Empire Township in the planning of this development. The board will work with you to achieve answers to the aforementioned issues.

Site Plan/Elevation Drawings Subject Property Location: Lot 2, Block 1, Dakota County Estates 9th Addition (southeast corner ofC.S.A.H. 31 and Upper 183rd St. W.) Size of Property: +/- 1.1 acre . Existing Zoning: R-4 (PUD) (B-1 overlay zone) Existing Comprehensive Plan Use: Business . Existing Land Use: Vacant Surrounding Land Uses: North: Business East: Multi-family (townhomes) West: Across Pilot Knob Road: Single- family residential and Multi-family ( Cameron Woods) South: Vacant Business Proposed Use: Personal & Professional Services and Office Space Proposed Building Size: Total Building Area = 7,500 s.f. Bank/Office Area = 2,520 s.f. Off- Street Parking: 38 total stalls proposed 10 stalls required for the proposed use (Veterinary Clinic will is required 8 stalls, the other tenant, regardless of use, would meet the needed number of parking stalls) . DISCUSSION Ed Panyk and Lori Ecklund are pro~osing a 7,500 square foot commercial building on Lot 2 Block 1 of Dakota County Estates 9t Addition. The applicants are seeking a Conditional Use Permit for the use of Personal & Professional Services and Office Space for the First National Bank of Farmington. The bank space would occupy 2,520 square feet of the north portion of the building. First National Bank is currently located in the Benedict Plaza commercial building just to the north along Upper 183rd Street and is seeking a larger facility. The applicants are proposing three- (3) drive through lanes in the rear, or English Ave side of the building. Access onto the property would come from two shared locations off of English Ave. Currently staff is working with the applicants and the property owners to the north and south to share accesses along the property boundaries in order to limit the number entering onto English Ave. The commercial property owner to the north has verbally agreed to share an access and drive along the shared property line. But because the property to the south has not been sold to a commercial developer at this time, the current property owner has not indicated his willingness to share in those costs. Because the site plan was not submitted in time to allow for proper staff review and due to the required shared access agreement with adjacent property owners, staff is recommending to . continue the public hearing until the May 9, 2000 Planning Commission meeting. Staff has completed an abbreviated review of the site plan and has made the following comments: . . . Shared Access a) A agreement in writing from both north and south property owners is required; Landscaping a) The applicant revise the landscaping plan following the standards outlined in Section 10-6-14 of the City Code. Building Design a) The applicant submits elevation drawings of the building for reView by the Planning Commission. Parking Lot a) Indicate with a detail on the site plan the dimensions of both a typical parking stall and handicap stall. Also detail the required signage plan for identification of handicap parking. Exterior Lighting a) Submit an exterior lighting plan following the requirements in Section 10-6-12 of the City Code. Also show detail of all proposed exterior lighting (i.e. overhead, wall, flood, etc.). Signage a) Although a signage plan is not apart of the CUP approval and can be completed at a later date with the Planning Commission, the applicant should diagram the possible location of either or both wall and pylon signage. Engineering Information a) Although City Engineering staff does not conduct a full review of the site plan for the purpose of CUP approval, the applicant should be prepared to indicate locations of water and sewer connections, location of catch basins, direction of parking lot drainage, sidewalk construction details and any other engineering details that may be necessary. ACTION REQUESTED Staff recommends that the public hearing be continued until the May 9, 2000 Planning Commission meeting in order to allow the applicant to make the necessary corrections and submit the requested additional information of the site plan and to allow staff time to review the information.

(g) Suggested Location Of Interior Islands For Safety: Parking lots shall be designed to promote safety for automobile drivers and pedestrians. In designing parking spaces, the driving aisles should be aligned towards the major destination as permitted by topography. This allows for pedestrian traffic to move through the aisles instead of crossing parking bays. One solution to quality parking is to locate a planting island between parked cars and install a sidewalk for easy access to the major destination as permitted by topography. Plantings may be located along the sidewalk to promote an aesthetic approach towards the building. 8. Screening Of High Activity Uses: All loading docks; commercial facilities with drive-through services; automotive repair and service; car washes; and other similar high activity uses associated with the building, adjacent to residential districts, shall be screened from adjacent property or street right of way by a six foot (6') opaque fence or masonry wall. 9.

Soil Specifications: The landscape plan must contain results of a water permeability test. A water permeability test is required in order to determine the type of soil the plant material is planted in. This requires a sharp shooter spade dug eighteen inches (18M) into the ground. Fill the hole with water and if after eighteen (18) hours the hole still retains the water, the soil is determined to be too poor for planting. . 3. Poor Soil Remedies: If the soil is determined to be too poor for planting, the following two (2) possible remedies are recommended. The first remedy is to install a ten foot (10') wide raised planting bed in order to provide acceptable planting soil. The height of the bed is the amount of soil it takes to cover the root ball of the plant to a level of two inches (2") above the ball. The bed must be covered with four inches (4") of mulch to provide for moisture retention. A second remedy is to excavate the soil to the depth of the root ball, allowing the root ball to rest on the clay soil. Excavate an area five (5) times the size of the root ball and replace the soil with quality planting soil. This will allow the tree roots to spread into adequate soil and provide an established root system before spreading into the poorer soil. (G) Street Tree Species To Be Planted: . 1.

City of Farmington 325 Oak Street, Farmington, MN 55024 (651) 463-7111 Fax (651) 463-2591 www.ci.farmington.mn.us TO: City Planning Commission FROM: Michael Schultz Associate Planner c,P SUBJECT: Autumn Glen 1 st Addition Final Plat DATE: April 25, 2000 INTRODUCTION Arcon Development, Inc. has submitted Final Plat plans for the Autumn Glen development, located east of the Akin Park Estates and Limerock Ridge neighborhoods. The Final Plat of the First Addition contains 41 single-family lots. Plan nine Division Review Applicant: Arcon Development, Inc. 7625 Metro Blvd. Suite 140 Edina, MN 55439 (612) 835-4981 Referral Comments: 1. Gerald Auge, PE, Engineering Division Attachments: 1. Applications 2. Location Map 3. Final Plat, reduced copy Location of Property: The Autumn Glen subdivision property is located east of Akin Park Estates and Limerock Ridge subdivisions and south of the proposed Prairie Creek East property. The property is also west of 52 acres of City-owned parkland and to the north of the proposed 195th Street right-of- way. The lots within the 1 st Addition are located mainly along Embers Ave and 193rd Streets until they intersect. The remainder of the addition is made up of outlots, the reason for the outlots is explained in the main text of this memo. . . . - Area Bounded By: Single-family residential development to the west, proposed single-family residential to the north, parkland to the east and the proposed right-of-way for 19Sth Street to the south. Existing Zoning: R-l Low Density - Single Family Residential Existing Conditions: The western portion of the property is densely vegetated on steep slopes. The central portion is currently farmed and is relatively flat and the eastern portion consisting of the wetland area is densely vegetated on relatively flat ground. Proposed Development: The proposed overall development consists of 153 single-family lots on 102.96 acres yielding a density of 1.5 units/acre. This falls below the maximum density of 3.5 units per acre permitted in the R-l zone. Approximately 35.6 acres on the east-side of the property will be added to the existing City parkland. 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. Streets and Accesses: The Final Plat will consist of the construction of Embers Ave and 193rd Street which will allow two direct accesses out of the subdivision. SidewalkslTrails: 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. An eight-foot trail is proposed along the south side of 193rd Street to match the existing trail in Akin Park Estates and needs to be shown along the entire 193rd Street's right-of-way to fulfill the City's sidewalk requirements. Parkland and Trails: The Parkland adjacent to the Autumn Glen development and owned by the City was originally two parcels. The City purchased the northern parcel while the southern parcel was dedicated to the City by John Malinski to meet parkland fee requirements for this parcel. The Developer proposes to dedicate an additional 35.59 acres of park/open space to the City that abuts the current City property. DISCUSSION The Preliminary Plat was approved at the August 24, 1999 Planning Commission meeting and the September 6, 1999 City Council meeting. Also approved along with the Preliminary Plat was a Conditional Use/Grading and Excavation Permit to allow commencement of grading of the . . . property. The developer began rough grading work and tree removal on site late in September and has completed most of the grading work this spring. Road construction will likely begin shortly after the Developer's Agreement has been signed. The Developer requested an extension to file for the Final Plat on November 15, 1999 (see- attached letter). The first phase of the development consists of 41 lots on 54.57 acres; the total site contains 101.96 acres. The proposed project meets these requirements as cited in the City Code. Akin Park Outlot D (Shown as Outlot K on Final Plat) Arcon Development has requested that the City convey Outlot 'D', located north of 193rd Street in Akin Park Estates, to Arcon Development to be incorporated into lots. However, Outlot 'D' was conveyed only for "Public Purposes", essentially for the use of the sanitary sewer. The City Council agreed on March 20, 2000 to convey the outlot back to the State to begin the process of conveying it back to the developer. The area is now shown on the Final Plat as both Outlot 'K' and Outlot 'J' (north and south side of 193rd Street). When Arcon Development gains control of this property it will be replatted to extend the rear lot on Lots 1 & 2 of Block 8 and subdivide two additional lots as part of both Outlot 'K' and Outlot 'L'. Future Use of Outlots The Autumn Glen Final Plat contains a number of outlots for multiple purposes. Below is a brief explanation of each of the outlots. Outlot 'A': Future subdivision of single-family lots Outlot' B': Future subdivision of single-family lots Outlot 'C': Future subdivision of single-family lots Outlot 'D': Storm Water Pond with 20' access (will be dedicated to the City) Outlot' E': Future subdivision of single- family lots Outlot 'F': Future subdivision of single-family lots Outlot 'G': Future subdivision of single-family lots Outlot 'H': Storm Water Ponds (will be dedicated to the City) Outlot'!': 20' access to future storm water pond (will be dedicated to the City) Outlot 'J': 15' portion of Outlot 'D' of Akin Park Estates (part of outlot conveyance) Outlot 'K': portion of Outlot 'D' of Akin Park Estates (part of outlot conveyance) Outlot 'L': Future subdivision of single-family lots Landscape Plan The landscape plan for the 1 sl Addition complies with the permitted boulevard trees and planting requirements outlined in 10-6-14 (G) of the City Code. The boulevard tree species proposed within the development are Green Spine Linden (quantity - 29), Summit/Platmore Ash (38), Norway Maple (27) and Iron Wood (18).
