RE: Silver Springs Rezoning Request
Dear Dave:
I am writing to follow up to the December Planning Commission meeting. You and I have
talked several times about this point. I just want to clarify several points and, hopefully,
broaden the idea of "good use of land."
You know the details, so I will summarize my points:
1) The city believes a B-4 business is "good use of the land" because it is bordered by two busy
roads. Please remember, the three other corner blocks that meet at this intersection are all
residential.
2) The B-4 business has no access to the busy roads; the only access is in our neighborhood, on
English Avenue.
.) The current design of the B-4 business contains a large building with 9000 square feet, 6
times the size of many homes in the area, and has included 53 parking spots. A small
neighborhood business would never need this many parking places. Our fear is the potential
reapplication to a B-3 or variance on the type of business eventually constructed in this site. I
know you are well aware of the actuality of this happening.
4) As informed consumers, we researched and made decisions to invest in this neighborhood.
We made these decisions knowing English A venue would be extended to Akin Road and
knowing Pilot Knob Road construction was inevitable. We also knew the lots on English
A venue were zoned residential.
4) Traffic has become a major concern on English Avenue. The city snow plow always comes
early to sand and plow the hill on English. A neighborhood child was hit and run over by a
car even before the street was opened to Akin Road. The City Planning Commission and the
city staff can not ignore the issue of public safety. In referring to Minnesota Statute 462, public
safety, health, morals, and general welfare are the first four factors stated in the zoning
procedure section. It reads as follows:
Section 462.357 Procedure for plan effectuation; zoning.
Subdivision 1: Authority for zoning. For the purpose of promoting the public health, safety,
morals, and general welfare, a municipality may by ordinance regulate the earth's surface, in
_the air space above the surface, and in subsurface areas, the location, height, width, bulk, type
f foundation, number of stories, size of buildings and other structures, the percentage of lot
which may be occupied, the size of yards and other open spaces, the density and distribution of
population, the uses of buildings and structures for trade, industry ...
Please reconsider your recommendation for a B-4 business in this location. I have worked
hard to communicate with you and be honest about our concerns. I was not acquainted with
.he several audience participants who turned the meeting into negative accusations.
I'm sure you understand why I am disappointed about your recommendation. But I do have
faith in the process, and in your belief to make the best decision for the land in our
neighborhood.
As you might have guessed, I would plant trees, set aside the entire lot on the corner of 189th
and English for a park, and add a stop sign at the intersection here. I do believe there may be
some support in the neighborhood to buy the land.
Please reconsider your recommendation. We are committed to the city of Farmington but it is
important to me to receive your support on this issue.
Respectfully ~ubmitted,

Murphy Farm Schematic PUD
DATE:
January II, 2000
INTRODUCTION
The Murphy Farm Schematic PUD was reviewed on December 14, 1999 at the Planning
Commission meeting. At the meeting, there were a number of items that were unresolved
including land acquisition issues, transportation and access issues and park dedication issues,
The following information addresses the unresolved items,
DISCUSSION
Land Acquisition Issues
The Developer has approached a number ofland owners since the December 14, 1999 meeting to
discuss the acquisition of their properties in order to develop the Murphy Farm schematic POD
as shown on the plan. Those land areas in question include a 4-acre site in the north-central
portion of the property (Wilson property), the reconfiguration of an access easement on the
Haley and Hanson properties along Akin Road, the McCarthy property south of 203rd Street
shown within the future right-of-way of 203rd and 204th Streets and the proposed acquisition of
the Genstar property in the southwest comer of the site.
Wilson Property
The Steve Wilson property (5200 W, 203rd Street) includes the 4-acre site in the north-central
portion of the property that was originally proposed on the Murphy Farm Schematic PUD for
single-family residential. At this time, the Wilson's and the Developer have not reached a
purchase agreement for the site. City staff has recommended that the Wilson's property remain
R-l Single-Family Residential rather than be rezoned to R-3 PUD unless the following occurs:
1. The Wilson's inform the City in writing that they are interested in rezoning their 4-acre site
to R-3 PUD,
2. The Wilson's approve a purchase agreement with the Developer for their property, thereby
allowing the Developer to rezone the property to R-3 PUD, The Wilson's and the Developer
must submit documentation acknowledging the purchase agreement to the City.
.
Any reconfiguration of the roadway system within 4-acre site will be addressed in the platting
phase of the project. To reiterate, the, roadway system currently shown on the Murphy Farm
Schematic PUD is not the final roadway layout for the project and further analysis of the
transportation system will occur during the platting stage.
Halev and Hanson Properties
Documentation concerning the Michael Haley (20521 Akin Road) and Wade Hanson (20551
Akin Road) properties has been attached to show the reconfiguration of both lots, The
reconfiguration allows for a proposed access for the cul-de-sac roadway connecting with Akin
Road. The triangular areas shown on either side of the access at Akin Road are provided for
monument signs for the development. Staff has also attached a letter from Mr, Haley approving
of his lot reconfiguration,
McCarthv Property
The Daniel McCarthy property (5014 W. 203rd Street) is located south of an easement proposed
for the continuation of203rd Street and east of the Murphy Farm Schematic PUD, Currently, the
McCarthy's access their site from a gravel road that was installed shortly after an access
easement was acquired in 1971 to access the 4-acre farmstead to the west (which is currently
owned by Wilson). The 80-foot wide access easement runs from the west line of the Pine Knoll
subdivision (where the roadway pavement ends on 203rd Street) 55.65 feet and then turns
northwesterly for a length of 107.42 feet until it turns mostly towards the west a distance of
. 638.50 to the eastern property line of the 4-acre site (see attached documents),
Within the 55.65 feet of the easement, Daniel McCarthy to the south and Harvey Briesacher
(4999 W, 203rd Street) to the north of 203rd Street access their properties. As shown on the
survey, it is apparent that within the 107.42-foot length of the easement that Daniel McCarthy's
well and a portion of his home encroach upon the 80- foot access easement dedicated in 1971,
Therefore, because 203rd Street is shown on the 2020 Thoroughfare Plan as an east-west
collector and the street is needed to serve the Murphy Farm development, the access easement is
crucial to the development of the City's roadway system and the service of the development.
Further discussions with the McCarthy's and the Developer will continue to determine if a
purchase agreement can be finalized. The Developer is required to document his efforts in trying
to negotiate an agreement with the McCarthy's before the City will make attempts to contact the
McCarthy's,
The City requires no eminent domain of the McCarthy property because a portion of the house
and well encroach within a dedicated street easement. City staff requires that after the easement
issue is resolved, the Developer would be required to construct 203rd Street outside of their
property to connect with the paved surface of the westerly line of the Pine Knoll subdivision,
.
The McCarthy property may also provide an additional access between the Murphy Farm and
Pine Knoll developments with the connection of 204th Street. 204th Street currently exists as a
paved stub street to the easterly line of the McCarthy property, If 204th Street was proposed as a
second connection through the Pine Knoll development, the south portion of the McCarthy
property would need to be acquired by the Developer of the Murphy Farm development. Further
2
.
.
.
discussions with the McCarthy's and the Developer will continue on this issue along with the
203rd Street issue,
Genstar Property
The Developer has recently negotiated a purchase agreement with the Genstar Land Company
for the property in the southwest comer of the Murphy Farm development (see attached letter),
This area is proposed for medium-density residential, expanding the number of villa housing
units to the south. Approximately 17 acres of open space/parkland acreage has been added to the
west along Pilot Knob Road from the original schematic PUD that showed approximately 14
acres of open space/parkland in this area,
Transportation and Access Issues
203rd Street and Pilot Knob Road
The access location for 203rd Street and Pilot Knob Road shown on the Murphy Farm Schematic
PUD is currently being reviewed with the other developments along Pilot Knob Road including
Vermillion Grove, Charleswood and the City's Central Maintenance Facility property to meet
Dakota County's access management requirements, The City is working with all of the
Developers to insure that the 'l'4 mile spacing requirements set by the County are met,
Currently, the City is reviewing the need for a full access at the southern border of the Central
Maintenance Facility property to allow access both to the north and south on Pilot Knob Road,
Therefore, the City has approached Rottlund Homes to review the possibility of sharing this
access rather than proposing an access through the Vermillion Grove property.
Therefore, the access at 203rd Street may be revised to meet the needs of the full access to the
north for the City's property and Vermillion Grove to meet the 'l'4 mile spacing requirements.
Additionally, 203rd Street will also require the need to intersect with 203rd Street in the
Charleswood development.
Further discussions concerning the accesses to Pilot Knob Road will occur with the Developers,
the County and the City within the next few weeks to determine the final locations of these
accesses,
Proposed Right-of-Wav and Street Width Revisions
At the meeting on December 14, 1999, the Developer requested that the City review the proposal
to revise the current City street standards of a 60-foot right-of-way with a 34-foot wide street
back-to-back to a 50-foot right-of-way and a 30-foot back to back street on all interior public
streets within the single-family area on the west side of the Murphy Farm PUD (see attached
street sections),
Additionally, the Developer proposed a 25-foot front yard setback (current Code requirements
are 20 feet) and the addition of a 5-foot sidewalk along one side of all interior streets within this
area, With the reduction in street width from 34 feet to 30 feet, the developer proposes to restrict
parking to one side of the street in this area on the opposite side of the of where the sidewalk is
located.
3
.
The developer has proposed these changes in order to reduce traffic speeds within the single-
family area and create a pedestrian-friendly environment with additional area devoted to
landscaping and green space in the front yards of the single-family homes.
At the December 21, 1999 Development Committee meeting, City staff determined that the
request by DR Horton/Arcon to allow 50-foot right-of-ways and 28-foot streets was
unacceptable. The City continues to recommend compliance with current City standards,
thereby requiring a 60-foot right-of-way and a 34-foot back-to-back street requirement.
Park & Recreation Issues
The developer proposes a 2-acre park area on the northern boundary of the site that will be
shared with the Vermillion Grove subdivision to the north, Additional parks have been
identified along the southern property line within the FEMA floodplain, City staff continues to
recommend that park siting issues be delayed until the environmental assessment worksheet is
completed to determine if the proposed park land along the southern boundary of the site is
outside of the identified FEMA floodplain.
ACTION REQUESTED
Recommend approval of the Murphy Farm Schematic PUD rezoning the property to R-3 PUD
contingent on the resolution of the Wilson property acquisition issue and the McCarthy easement
. encroachment issue and forward this recommendation to the City Council.

The Murphy Fann P,U,D, is a proposed residential development in the City of Farmington on
approximately 210 acres, The development proposes approximately 451 residential units on the
property. The proposal offers a variety of residential housing products, ranging from 'villa' units
at a density of approximately 8-10 DU/Acre, 'townhouse' units at a density of 4-6 DU/Acre,
single family lots at a density of approximately 2 DU/ Acre and executive single family lots at a
density of approximately 1.4 DU/ Acre. Of the 210 acres, approximately 73 will be maintained as
pennanent open space, The overall density of Murphy Farm P.U,D. is 3.2 units per acre.
.
The Murphy Farm P.U,D. site is characterized by rolling topography, scattered deciduous
woodlots, three major wetland complexes and a long, flat draw running north and south through
the west ~ of the site, This draw contains a narrow drainage ditch that provides an outlet for the
northerly wetland south to a main east/west ditch (Middle Creek) that runs along the south
boundary of the Murphy property, These physical characteristics, topography, vegetation and
wetlands, provide a natural separation and buffer between the different product types proposed
withing the Murphy Farm P,U,D.
The property is currently under the ownership of Mr, Bernard Murphy and will be purchased
from Mr, Murphy by a Joint Venture ofD. R. Horton and Arcon Development, Inc. The ultimate
ownership of the property within the Murphy Farm P.U.D. will be a combination of individual
homeowners, homeowners associations and the City of Farmington. Maintenance of all the land
within the P.U,D. will also be the responsibility of these three entities. Along with the variety of
housing types proposed, the development will retain three significant wetland complexes on-site,
create a combination wetland/pond/open space corridor (approximately 14 acres) and designate
additional open space/park areas (27-x acres) Within the site (totaling 73 acres), There are several
scattered deciduous woodlot areas on-site, and the site' plan was developed to retain as many of
these areas as possible through unit type and location,
.
.
.
.
The primary access to Murphy Farm P,U.D, will be offC.S,A.H, 31 (Pilot Knob Road), There
will be an east/west neighborhood collector street through the north ~ of the site and a
north/south neighborhood collector allowing connections to the properties north and south of the
development. Additionally, there will be internal neighborhood streets within Murphy Farm
P.U,D, and a direct access to Akin Road for the executive single family lots on the east side of
the property, Sanitary sewer is presently on-site and water main will be brought south along Pilot
Knob Road from the new Farmington water tower site. The development will be responsible for
storm water detention on-site following the City of Farmington Surface Water Management Plan
(1997), Public utilities; electricity, natural gas, telephone and cable T.V, will be provided to the
development by the appropriate utility companies.
The Murphy Farm P.U.D. will be developed in phases over a 4-5 year period. The proposal will
call for a minimum of two different product types available at all times during the development
process, The development plan calls for approximately 163 single-family lots to be developed.
The anticipated population breakdown for typical single family residential is 3.5 people per
household, representing approximately 1.5 children per single family home. The anticipated
population breakdown for the approximate 136 townhouse units is 2.1 people per townhouse and
0,2 children per unit. The anticipated population breakdown for the approximate 152 villa units
is 1.8 people per villa unit and 0,1 children per unit. These totals result in approximately 287
children and 1,443 adults in the estimated 451 households residing in the Murphy Farm P.U,D,
D,R, Horton and Arcon Development, Inc. have agreed to purchase from Genstar Land Company
Midwest approximately 34.67 acres directly east of Pilot Knob Road in the southwest comer of
the Murphy Farm P,U,D. A major portion of this 34.67 acre parcel is under cultivation, except
for a stand of trees along the north property line adjacent to the Murphy Farm property. This
additional parcel is proposed to be multi-family, 8/10 units per acre, to coincide with proposed
adjacent land uses, Access for this parcel will be from Pilot Knob Road by a proposed street that
will line up with a future street in the Genstar P.U.D.

Tamarack Ridge Schematic PUD
DATE:
January 11, 2000
INTRODUCTION
James Development Company proposes to develop approximately 58 acres east of Trunk
Highway 3, south of County Road 66, west of the Prairie Waterway and Cambodia Avenue and
north of 208thand 209th Streets. The developers propose single and multi-family residential
within the development along with a commercial site along TH 3, The developer proposes the
R-3 PUD zoning due to the variety of land uses within the development. The Schematic PUD
plan establishes the underlying zoning and location for each of the different land uses within the
development.

Schematic P.D.D. Plan Amendment
Location of Property:
Area Bounded By:
Existing Zoning:
Proposed Amendment:
Proposed Development:
Streets and Accesses:
Water & Sewer:
East of Trunk Highway 3, south of County Road 66,
west of the Prairie Waterway and Cambodia Avenue and
north of20Sth and 209th Streets,
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 on the east side of the
property within the City limits of Farmington.
A-I Agricultural District
The development proposes to amend the existing
agricultural land use to a mix of low and medium
density residential and commercial land uses. The
amendment for the changes to the proposed land uses
will occur when the Metropolitan Council approves the
2020 Comprehensive Plan Update early in 2000,
The development proposes 223 housing units
constructed on approximately 43 acres, The proposed
land uses are as follows:
Single-Family
Carriage Homes
Townhomes
Commercial
Park
71 units
120 units
32 units
N/A
N/A
23.3 acres
15.5 acres
3.9 acres
4,1 acres
3,6 acres
The development proposes five accesses from the
property including three along the south side to 20Sth
and 209th 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 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 from the Tamarack
Ridge development. Therefore, the developer would be
required to extend the water line to serve the
development. City sewer currently exists within the
eastern portion of the site,
2
.
.
.
Sidewalks:
No sidewalks or trails are shown on the plan, but should
be provided within the development.
Topography:
Site topography is generally flat with an occasional
inundation of standing water at the northwest comer of
the site. .
Wetland:
No wetlands exist on the site, The Prairie Waterway to
the east of the property is designated as a green way
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 3-4 acre park area on the
southern portion of the property along 209th Street. The
park is required to be large enough to allow for a
ballfield and play structure, The park dedication
requirement is 12.5% of the total acreage and will be
dedicated by the developer through land, fees and/or
trail construction.
Additional Comments
Land Use Issues
The 2020 Comprehensive Plan Update submitted to the Metropolitan Council on July 28, 1999
showed this area with commercial along Trunk Highway 3, medium-density residential east of
the commercial area and south of CR 66 and single-family residential along the eastern portion
of the property.
The schematic PUD plan proposes the following gross densities:
Housing Type Proposed Density City Requirement Land Use Designation
Single-Family 3.05 du/ac I to 3.5 du/ac Low-Density
Carriage Homes 7.74 du/ac 5.5 to 14.0 du/ac Medium-Density
Townhomes 8.21 du/ac 5.5 to 14.0 du/ac Medium- Density
The proposed gross densities correlate to the 2020 Comprehensive Plan Update, The overall
residential density of the Tamarack Ridge Schematic PUD is proposed at 4.6 units per acre.
Phasing of the Development
James Development Company will develop the single-family residential property. The
Developer proposes 71 single-family lots averaging 9,500 square feet in size for each lot. 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 and provide for
2 adults and 1 child on the average.
The Carriage Homes will be developed by Centex and will consist of 120 two-story
condominiums in 8-unit buildings and will be part of a homeowner's association, The Developer
anticipates that most of the homes will be purchased by first-time homebuyers under the age of
40 with annual salaries of $31,000 to $60,000, The projected population for the condominiums
will be between 165 to 200 people. The Developer projects that between 4 and 10 school aged
child and between 6 and 12 preschool children will reside within the neighborhood.
The Carriage Homes will begin construction within 1 to 2 years ofthe project's approval.
The Farmington Family Townhome project will be constructed by Jim Deanovic of Farmington
Family Housing Limited Partnership in conjunction with the Dakota County Department of
Housing and Urban Development Committee.
The project will consist of 32 one-level rental units on 4 to 5 acres in the southwestern portion of
the site. The Developer proposes between 2 and 3 bedroom units with an attached garage. The
neighborhood expects two children per household with one being school aged. The renters must
provide verifiable and positive rental history along with a positive background check and no
criminal record.
The Developer proposes the Farmington 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 4--acre site,
Further discussions concerning the commercial uses on the site will commence when the
Developer plats the property,
Transportation Issues
The Schematic PUD Plan shows three accesses to the south on 208th and 209th Streets and two
accesses to the north on County Road 66. City staff has recommended that the westerly access to
209th Street from the Farmington Family Townhome neighborhood be shared with the
commercial access to eliminate an additional access from the commercial area being located too
close to the Trunk Highway 3 intersection (see transportation recommendations).
The accesses along 208th Streets are adequate for the needs of each land use, The westerly
access on CR 66 will serve the commercial area and the Carriage Homes. Per the transportation
recommendation, the access should be lengthened to allow for 150 feet of stacking distance. The
easterly access on CR 66 will serve the single-family neighborhood. Locations of all driveway
access across from all bordering streets should be shown on the plan to determine if there is any
traffic conflicts,
4
.
Roadways associated with the multi-family areas will be private streets and will be maintained
by a homeowners association.
Construction of 208th and 209th Streets
At this time, the City has stated that 20gth and 209th Streets should be paved, However, a
determination of whether the street should be a rural section or a standard City street has not
been finalized. Additionally, the Engineering Division will review the need to require "L"
intersections along Cantina Avenue. These issues will be reviewed at the platting stage of the
approval process.
Neighborhood Meeting - January 6, 2000
The Developer held a neighborhood meeting the Farmington City Hall on January 6, 2000 to
discuss the proposed development, Overall, the project was well received by the notified
residents in attendance,
ACTION REOUESTED

DATE:
Jannuary 5, 2000
Engineering staff has reviewed the schematic P,U,D. plans that were submitted on
November 9, 1999, for the above referenced project. The following are engineering
comments that require further discussions with the developer:
GENERAL
. All residential streets shall be designed to ensure a horizontal sight distance of not
less than 200', The minimum design speed for residential streets shall be 30 MPH
unless otherwise approved by the City for residential streets, The minimum design
speed for collector streets is 40 MPH unless otherwise approved by the City,
. Soil boring and ground water monitoring reports need to be submitted, Soils reports
shall include recommended soil correction for the street sections.
. All residential streets shall be 60-foot right-of-way and collectors shall be 70' right-
of-way with sidewalk along one side at a minimum per City code,
. Approval of the schematic PUD does not constitute final approval of the interior
street layouts and access points, Interior streets will be reviewed in detail at the
platting phase of the project. Minimize dead end streets by providing additional
access or connections, Water mains in cul-de-sac or dead end streets shall be looped
into the main system,
. Easements for all utilities shall be provided per City requirements, Confine utilities
wherever possible to streets for optimum accessibility.
.
.
.
Tamarack Ridge PUD
Page 2
· It is recommended that the improvement of 2091h Street. Cantata Avenue West and
208th Street to paved streets per City requirements be a condition of the future plat.
SANITARY SEWER
. Sanitary sewer for the development shall be connected into the north/south trunk
main located toward the middle of the development.
WATER MAIN
. Water service to the development is dependent on the Trunk Hwy 3 water main
improvement project that is proposed to be constructed in 2000. The project would
extend twelve-inch trunk. water main from the VFW along TH 3 to the north along the
east side of Hwy 3 and a sixteen-inch water main from the Glenview Townhomes and
Bristol Square developments to the north, A sixteen-inch trunk water main is
required to be extended north through the development (See City of Farmington water
Supply and Distribution Plan). All water main shall be looped into the water
distribution system,
STORM SEWER
· Trunk Storm Sewer ponding and pIpmg shall be located at the northeast and
northwest comer of the Development.
. All storm ponds and storm systems shall have regulated outlet control structures. All
storm facilities shall be designed in accordance to the City of Farmington Storm
Water Management Plan,
· It is staff s understanding that the Developer is exploring the option of locating a
portion of the westerly pond north of CR 66, which could modify the configurations
of the multi-family and park areas. Staffs initial review suggests that relocating a
portion of the pond to the north is probably viable from a design standpoint.

SUBJECT: Plan Review of [Tamarack Ridge] Schematic PUD.
DATE: January 7, 2000
After reviewing the plan that was submitted, I have noted the following: All streets, roads and
cul-de-sacs in the single family development currently meet the minimum requirement of the
Uniform Fire Code as it relates to Fire Department Access. However the multi-family
developments don't meet the minimum requirements.
The Uniform Fire Code Article 9, section [902,2.2,2,6] requires that all Dead End access roads
be provided with an adequate turning radius for Fire Apparatus when the dead end is in excess of
[150] feet. Therefore, all access roads that currently exceed the 150-foot requirement in both
multi-family developments must meet the minimum requirements ofthe code.
The current plan doesn't indicate the width of private roads or streets in the multi-family
developments, The Uniform Fire Code Article 9, section [902.2.2,1] requires that all roads shall
have an unobstructed width of not less than 20 feet. Therefore, all roads in both multi-family
developments must meet the minimum requirements of the Uniform Fire Code and any local
ordinances.
I would also suggest and strongly recommend that the city of Farmington require at least two
separate means of access to all multi-family developments, The Uniform Fire Code Article 9,
section [902.2,1] requires more than one fire apparatus access road when the Authority having
Jurisdiction determines that access by a single road might become impaired by vehicle
congestion, conditions of terrain, climate conditions or other emergency factors that could limit
access to that development.
The plan that was submitted didn't provide information relating to fire hydrant locations;
therefore, it will be required to provide additional plans prior to construction.
Sincerely, . / / .. /;1

RE:
Tamarack Ridge - Traffic Review
Of Schematic Plan
Our File No. 141-Gen
The residential portion of the PUD will generate the following number of daily trips:
. 152 Multi-Family Dwelling Units (Townhome/Condo) - 890 Daily Trips
. 71 Single Family Dwelling Units- 680 Daily Trips
.
There is a 4.1 acre commercial portion adjacent to TH 3. Assuming a convenience store with
gasoline service and approximately 30,000 square feet of commercial building area, such a
facility could generate approximately 2,500 daily trips. These trips would not all be "new" trips,
Over one-half of these trips would already be on the adjacent roadway systems. The estimated
total "new" trips generated by the plan land uses is approximately 2,800 vehicles per day,
The following comments are related to the schematic plan access/roadway system, The
comments are numbered - please refer to the plan for the location of the comment number.
1, Commercial access to 209th Street - It is suggested that access to the commercial area be
provided to 209th Street at a location where the multi-family and commercial share the
driveway. This location is a sufficient distance from the 209th/TH 3 intersection
2. Close the multi-family driveway shown if the shared access concept in comment one is
accepted,
3,
On the access drive to Vermillion Trail, lengthen the entrance magazine storage to 150
feet (curb return to curb return), On final plan, make sure delivery trucks can make the
turns at this access. Check with Dakota County as they may have a desire for exclusive
right turn lane from CSAH 66 to the access drive. A left turn lane on CSAH 66 is not
necessary, but a bypass lane would be desirable. The access location is fine, but the site
plan does not indicate location of any driveways or street openings on the north side of
CSAH 66. Location of a proposed drive should not cause traffic conflict with any drives
on opposite side of street (if there are any).

Is the park active or passive? Will there be a need for some off-street parking for this
park?
5. Private streets/drives - 3D-foot wide could allow for one side parking, but 26-foot drive
should prohibit parking on both sides.
6, Public street appears to measure 33-34 feet. Parking on one side could be allowed,
I don't see any pedestrian walking areas (trails/sidewalks) and I think this should be addressed,
You will need to carefully review commercial site plan if/when that comes forward. Access to
the commercial property should not be allowed to TH 3.

RE:
Tamarack Ridge P.U.D Request
We are pleased to present to the City of Farmington our request for a P.U.D. for
Tamarack Ridge which includes mixed use housing, neighborhood commercial,
neighborhood park, and a storm water pond. This is a 65-acre parcel, located at
intersection of Highway 3 and County Road 66.
.
DESCRIPTION OF PROPERTY
The property is generally flat, tillable land with a very slight change in elevation from
east to west. This property is surrounded by roads on all four sides (Highway 3, County
Road 66, Cambodia, and 209th Street on the south) and single' family homes on the
south side, which are located in Empire Township. Adjacent to the single family homes
on the east is a cemetery.
PROPOSED LAND USES
1. Multi-Family
A) Farmington Family Townhouses
This would be the first phase of multi-family on approximately 5 acres,
containing 32 units that are to be built by James Deanovic of Farmington
Family Housing Limited Partnership, in conjunction with Dakota County
Department of Housing and Urban Development Committee.
.
The Farmington Family Townhouse project will be a rental townhouse
complex that consists of 32 affordable units. The exterior character of the
project would be similar to the for-sale townhouse units in Dakota County,
with vinyl siding, asphalt shingles and attached garages. The site will
provide surface parking for guests. The site will include a small
playground and will be well landscaped with berms for privacy and will
include an underground sprinkler system. The mix of units would be split
evenly between 2 and 3 bedroom units. Each unit would include a
spacious living area, which would include a living room, dining room, and
kitchen in a great room feel. The typical appliances are included. The units
will have gas forced air heating and individual central air conditioning.

Residents, must have a verifiable and positive rental history, In addition to
. a pOsitive credit check, and background check with no criminal record for
each adult applicant in every household. This is fairly standard In mosi;
rentalrnarkets. We would expect two children per household with one
being school age.
B) Centex Carriage Homes
The 120carfiage homes are two-story cQndominh.lmsin S-unit buildings.
'Ext~rior 'elevations' utilize .maintenance"f~materials. A homeowners'
associationisresponsible for aU exterior maintenance and lawn care. The
typical buyer is a single person under the age ofAOwlthan annual salary
of $31,000 to $60,000 purchasing their first home. Based on acQJal buyers
of the procJuct,inother neighborhoods, we, would project a total
population of between .165 to 200 people, with, the majOrity being adult
singles and, coupl~ between the ages of 20 and 40 years of age. We
would project that there would be between one and four families In the , .
nelghqarhood, with a total of between 4 and '10 schbolagedchildrenand
between 6 and 12 preschool children.
. 2. Single FamilV Homes
We propose to develop 71 single family lots that;;lre Intended to average 9,500
squarefeet In size. Because of the water table, these lots will be designed to
accommodatesplit~J"ltiy homes in the $120,000 to $180,000 range. We would
antidpate that each home would contain 2 adults and average 1 child.
3; Commercial
We are requesting neighborhood commercial zoning on our property which
. would include aconveni,ence store with gas pumps and a small center containing
businesses located to serve the neighborhood, such as a dry cleaners, dentist,
insurance .agency, beauty salon, etc..
If you' have any questions or need any additional information regarding our request,
plea~ contact me. Thank you for your kind consideration of this matter.

Charleswood 3rd Addition Preliminary Plat Approval
DATE:
January 11,2000
INTRODUCTION
Genstar Land Company has submitted the Preliminary Plat for Charleswood 3rd Addition, The 3rd
Addition consists of 164 single-family lots platted on 56.67 acres. This plat is a continuation of
the single-family portion of the Charleswood Planned Unit Development.
Planning Division Review
Applicant:
Genstar Land Company
11000 W/7Sth Street
Eden Prairie, MN 55344
(612)942-7844
Referral Comments:
1. City Engineering Division
2. City Parks & Recreation Director
3. Dakota County Soil & Water Conservation District
Attachments:
1, Location Map
2. Application for Preliminary Plat
3, Boundary Survey & Legal Description
4. Schematic. PUD Plan
5, Wetland Ordinance (portions)
Location of Property:
South of 195th Street and south of the existing 2nd
Addition of Charleswood.
Area Bounded By:
Single-family residential to the north, agriculture to the
west, open space to the south, future multi-family to the
east
Existing Zoning:
R-3 PUD
Streets and Accesses:
Streets follow general design layout of the approved
Planned Unit Development. Future access to Pilot Knob
Road will come with the connection of 203rd Street that
.
.
.
will be constructed during the second phase of
construction,
Sidewalks:
Sidewalks will extend along Everhill Ave and connect
with the trail along 203rd Street,
Topography:
Site topography is rolling, especially on the eastern and
southern portions of the plat. The drainage patterns are
generally towards the south,
Wetlands:
Wetlands are located to the east and south of the plat.
The wetland located directly east of the 3rd Addition is
designated Manage 2. The wetland found directly south
is designated Manage 1 and is part of the City Storm
Water plans to become a regional facility.
Flood Plain:
Flood plain exists on the southern portion of the
development. The developer's engineering consultants
have completed a flood plain delineation study
identifying the flood plain boundary outside of the
platted lots, The developer has submitted an application
for a letter of map amendment amending the flood plain
boundary identified on the FEMA Flood Insurance Rate
Maps,
Parkland and Trails:
The developer proposes a park area east of the single-
family development and north of the wetland area, The
final parkland dedication will be determined during
platting of the multi-family development to be located
between the park and Pilot Knob Road (see attached
comments from Park & Recreation Director Jim Bell).
The location of the park space is in accordance to the
Planned Unit Development.
Additional Comments
Genstar Land Company is seeking preliminary plat approval of 164 single-family lots on
approximately 57 acres of land; the plat is a continuation of the single-family
development located to the north and is apart of the Charleswood Planned Unit
Development,
The developer is proposing to phase the development of the 3rd Addition into two phases
for final plat approval to allow flexibility in the number of lots included in the final plat
approval, To clarify, preliminary plat approval would include the entire 164 single-
family lots; the developer will determine the final number of lots to be included in final
plat approval during the 15t and 2nd phases of development.

.
.
.
Lot Layout/Design & Setbacks
Lots are arranged in similar fashion to the previous additions. Minimum required lot size
is 10,000 square feet, the minimum proposed lot size is 10,049 square feet, the largest
proposed lot is 26,653 square feet, and an average proposed lot size of 12,109 square feet.
Minimum lot widths at the setback are 75 feet (some lot widths are narrower at the
frontage but meet the 75-foot setback at the setback),
Minimum front yard setbacks are proposed at 25-feet, except for the lots included in the
following; lots 21-25, block 4, phase 1; lots 1-20, block 3, phase 2 and lots 1-14, block 4,
phase 2 will have 20- foot setbacks, The 20- foot front yard setbacks are proposed along
the south side of 203rd Street due to the required 50-foot buffer setback to the wetlands,
The lots on the north side of 203rd Street will have 20-foot setbacks due to both the
alignment of the road (to permit lots on the south side) and to mimic the setback on the
south side,
The developer is again proposing "flag" lots within the Evensong Court cul-de-sac, Flag
lots were originally approved within the 2nd Addition of the development. Flag lots are
designed with narrower frontages with the house setback further on the lot. The
developer has claimed that flag lots typically will demand higher end housing,
Road Layout/Design
The road layout within the 3rd Addition follows that of the approved Planned Unit
Development. There are two proposed cul-de-sacs, one at the end of Evensong Ave and
the other at Evensong Court, All roads, except for 203rd Street, will have 60-foot right-
of-ways and 34-foot wide streets, 203rd Street, serving as a minor collector, will have a
70-foot right-of-way and a 36-foot wide roadway.
Engineering staff has identified the intersection of Everhill Avenue and Excelsior Lane to
have inadequate sight distance for vehicles traveling on Excelsior Lane toward Everhill
Ave, Engineering is recommending that staff work with the developer at resolving the
issue before approval of the final plat.
203rd Street Connection
The future construction of 203rd Street was discussed with Genstar to determine when the
connection to Pilot Knob Road (203rd Street will eventually connect to the D,R,
Horton/Arcon Murphy Farm development), Staff explained their concern about the
limited number of accesses (two (2), both along 195th Street) for the potential 301 single-
family homes,
The developer stated that because the layout and design of the future multi-family homes
is not known at this time, the exact alignment of 203rd Street is not yet determined, The
developer stated that they were willing to construct a temporary road, to rural design
standards, for access off of Pilot Knob Road,
3
.
.
.
Staff agreed that the immediate construction of 203Td Street to Pilot Knob Road could
impede the design of the future multi.family development. Staff also agreed that a
temporary gravel road, built to rural design standards, would be sufficient for the access
of construction and emergency response vehicles. The developer did indicate that the
permanent alignment of203Td Street could be determined within one (1) year,
Staff would recommend that the temporary alignment of 203Td Street be determined
before final platting of the 2nd phase of the 3Td Addition to ensure timely connection to
Pilot Knob Road before construction of the 2nd phase, Staff stresses that the design and
layout of both 203Td Street and the multi-family housing be as expedient as possible in
order for permanent road access for residents located in the south half of the single-
family development.
Parks, Trails & Sidewalks
The park land area shown on the plat is the area the developer has proposed for future
park space dedication, Staff discussed with the developer their desire to begin platting
and dedication of park space, but because the developer is uncertain of the design and
layout of the multi-family area along Pilot Knob Road it would not be prudent at this
time.
Parks & Recreation Director Jim Bell has forwarded comments from the Parks &
Recreation Commission recommending that the park be constructed sometime during the
3Td Addition to accommodate the residents of the neighborhood, The PARAC
recommends that staff should continue to work with the developer on the design, layout
and timing of development of the park.
Staff discussed with the developer the need for an additional trail access to the park for
the residents located within this addition, Currently the only trail access into the park is
located at the end of Everest Path, A location between lots 14 and 15 in block 6 was
proposed during a meeting but was not shown on the revised plat, The developer has
agreed to work with staff on future road access to the park for emergency response
purposes once the multi-family area develops. Currently the only access to the park
space is by trail in the 2nd Addition of single-family area; the proposed trail access is not
accessible by vehicular traffic,
A concrete sidewalk is proposed to continue from the 2nd Addition along Everhill Ave
down to 203Td Street, this sidewalk will connect to the bituminous bike trail along 203Td
Street. The bike trail along 203Td Street is required along all minor collectors; the trail
will eventually connect eastward to the future bike trail on Pilot Knob Road,
Wetlands
Wetlands are found on both the east and south side of the development. The wetland on
the east has been categorized as a Manage 2 and the southern wetland as Manage 1
according to a Wetlands and Waterbody Classification, These wetland areas are required
4
.
.
.
to maintain a wetland buffer area of natural vegetation, see attached ordinance for buffer
distances and setbacks, Currently there are five (5) lots that indicate wetland boundary
encroachment within the platted lot, three (3) are found south of203rd Street within phase
2 and two (2) are found within phase 1,
Dakota County Soil & Water Conservation District noted in their review of the original
plat (SWCD did not have the benefit to review the revised plat that included the addition
of 2 lots along 203rd Street) the City requirement to supply wetland replacement plans for
areas that will be disturbed; the guideline is found in the newly adopted Wetland
Ordinance, reference Chapter 10-9-4: General Provisions (see attached ordinance),
Based on the City Attorney's interpretations of the new Wetland Ordinance and the
Minnesota Wetland Protection Act, any and all wetland disturbance should be avoided if
possible, it is when disturbance of a wetland is unavoidable that a wetland replacement
plan should be submitted, The City Attorney also made note that no part of a lot should
be included within the wetland boundary area, indicating that the lot line should coincide
with that of the delineated wetland boundary. Also, all required wetland buffer areas
should be indicated on the plat as being referred to as "restricted" areas,
According to John Smyth, Bonestroo Engineering and co-author of the City Wetland
Ordinance, the developer is required to submit a sequencing report that indicates the
attempt to avoid, minimize or need to impact a wetland area, The process of the
sequence report requires the developer to submit to the City a report which the City being
the Local Governing Unit, or the body of government making the final determination,
forwards it to their Technical Team (see Wetland Ordinance for the constituents of the
team), The process requires the City to make the final determination of the wetland
impact, which may cause a redesign of the preliminary plat,
ACTION REQUESTED
Recommend continuation of the Charleswood 3rd Addition Preliminary Plat based on the
following issues:
1) A wetland sequencing report needs to be completed by the developer and reviewed
by the City (as the LGU - Local Governing Unit) and it's supporting Technical
Team;
2) Modifications should be made to the lots abutting wetland boundary (i,e. - wetland
boundaries should not encroach into lot area, lot lines and boundary should coincide;
wetland buffer area should be indicated as appropriate to the respective wetland
classification).
While the above issues are significant enough to continue the public hearing of the
preliminary plat, the remaining issues should continue to be resolved or discussed with
City staff,
1) All Engineering issues need to be addressed;
2) All SWCD issues need to be addressed;
5
.
.
.
3) The developer continue discussions with Parks & Recreation on timing of park construction,
park land boundaries/dedication and park and trail access;
4) Construction of 203rd Street as a temporary road, discussion with staff should continue on
details, timing, alignment, etc,
5) Discussions continue with staff on proper wetland buffer identification signs.

Charleswood 3rd Addition Preliminary Plat review
DATE:
January 5, 2000
Engineering staff has reviewed the preliminary plat and preliminary grading plan that has
been submitted for the above referenced project. The following are engineering
comments that require further discussions with the developer:
.
1. It is staffs understanding that it is the Developer's intent to develop only Phase 1 at
this time. The connection of 203rd Street to CSAH 31 is a condition of approval for
Phase 2.
2, Based on ITE criteria, the intersection of Everhill Avenue and Excelsior Lane has
inadequate sight distance for the vehicles traveling on Excelsior toward Everhill.
This intersection will need to be revised to provide adequate sight distance in the final
platting stage,
3, There is a gas easement located on the east side of the project that may impact the
proposed lot configuration, pathway, and foot bridge, This issue needs to be
reviewed with the gas company,
4, The timing of the installation of the pathways east of the 3rd Addition needs to be
clarified.
5, Easements for trunk. sanitary sewer and storm sewer located on the east side of the
project need to be provided,
6, Wetland mitigation areas should be platted as outlots,
. 7. Approval of the preliminary plat is contingent on the approval of the wetland
mitigation plan required by City code,

RE: REVIEW OF THE PRELIMINARY GRADING PLAN FOR CHARLESWOOD TffiRD
AND FOURTH ADDITIONS
Dear Michael:
The Dakota County Soil and Water Conservation District (District) has reviewed the Preliminary Grading
Plan for the above-mentioned site. This phase of the Charleswood POO entails 162 single-family lots on
approximately 56,7 acres; the entire PUD encompasses approximately 396.8 acres. This report
summarizes the proposed erosion controls and submits additional erosion and sediment control
recommendations, Further, wetland/floodplain impacts and low impact development concepts are
discussed.
We observed the following erosion and sediment controls on the plans:
1. Silt fence below most graded slopes; heavy-duty silt fence below 3: 1 slopes,
2. One rock construction entrance.
3. Check dams in drainage swales - they appear to be hay/straw bales, but design details are not
provided.
4. Bale inlet sediment filters at all storm sewer inlets.
5. Two storm water ponds.
6. Seeding and wood fiber blanket on 3: 1 and steeper slopes.
7. Notes regarding temporary stabilization timing and silt fence installation/maintenance.
We have the following comments and recommendations regarding erosion and sedimentation control:
1. Construct stormwater ponds first to act as temporary sediment basins, Temporary sediment basins
must be constructed properly to be effective, A stabilized emergency spillway must be installed,
Further, install a temporary riser at the sediment pond outlet to optimize sediment trapping efficiency.
Refer to the MPCA "bluebook" for design details.
2. Install heavy duty silt fence adjacent to all wetland areas.
3. Maintain an undisturbed, vegetated buffer adjacent to all wetland areas in accordance with the City's
wetland management ordinance, A 50-foot buffer should be provided between land disturbance
activities and the large shrub swamp located at the southern edge of the proposed development.
4. Use rock checks, sediment log ditch blocks, or other city-approved device within all swales and other
areas where intensified flows are expected at approximately 50' intervals, Do not use bale check
dams. Silt fence may work if it is installed very well, at appropriate intervals, and in conjunction

with an overflow curtain. Some of the swales may require lining with high velocity erosion blanket
to effectively stabilize.
S, Line all drainage swales with high velocity erosion control blanket prior to installing check dams,
Preseed these areas,
6. Modify the General Note regarding site-dewatering to include the following:
. Water pumped from a depressional area must be discharged to a sediment pond or filtered prior to
discharge to a wetland, waterbody, or storm sewer. Silt fence is not designed to withstand the
force exerted by channelized flow,
. Trenches cut to convey water from a ponded area must lead to a sediment pond or other sediment
control prior to discharge to a wetland, waterbody, or storm sewer.
. All sediment basins, including temporary ponds, must have a controlled and stabilized overflow,
. Energy dissipation devices must be installed where the trenches and pump hoses discharge to
areas with exposed soils, This may not be necessary if pump hoses are discharged to a stable,
vegetated area,
7. Install silt fence at the toe of long slopes, including those within the interior of the site unless
sedimentation from these areas will be controlled by another BMP,
8, Silt fence should not cross contours; all silt fence should be installed on-contour to filter sheet flow.
9. Once the proposed storm sewers are in place, inlet filters with emergency overflows should be
installed to minimize the amount of sediment entering the stormsewer. This is critical during the
period following utility installation prior to street paving, and should be continued until the site is
stabilized. Bale inlet filters are not the preferred BMP for in-street applications, but (if installed and
maintained properly) work well for beehive inlets,
10, Install silt fence, a double row of sod, or alternative device behind curbs and the downslope gradient
between lots to minimize runoff from lots during building construction,
11. Show type of energy dissipation devices at all storm sewer outlets, including outlets from temporary
sediment basins.
12. Include details for all erosion controls on the plan, especially the ditch blocks and erosion control
blanket.
13. Include temporary and permanent seeding, mulching, and fertilization specifications on the plan.
14. Include notes regarding specific NPDES permit requirements on the plan, including inspection, .
stabilization, and maintenance timing. The current note regarding stabilization timing should be
amended to include the following NPDES General Stormwater Permit requirement: 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 of 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 10:1), This includes
areas within 100 feet from all storm sewer inlets.
The following comments are provided regarding wetland and floodplain issues:
1. Approximately 0.4 acres of wetland fill is proposed to facilitate stormwater pond construction. A
wetland replacement plan has not yet been submitted for this impact, but a preliminary review of
the site constraints suggests the fill is avoidable. Additional comments will be submitted by the
SWCD once a wetland replacement plan application is received. As noted in the City's wetland
ordinance, preliminary plat approvals should not be granted until the WCA wetland replacement plan
has been approved.
2, The extent of proposed fill within floodplain is unclear. The floodplain and flood fringe boundary
should be shown on the plan. The SWCD discourages construction of homes on fill within the 100-
year floodplain boundary. Further, high surficial groundwater levels in the area will make flood
storage mitigation difficult.
3. The City, landowner, County, SWCD, and Vermillion River WMO should meet prior to preliminary
plat approvals to discuss regional ponding issues, The area south of Charlsewood 3rd/4th has been

identified in the City's Stormwater Management Plan and Draft VRWMO Second Generation
Watershed Management Plan as a critical regional storage area for Middle Creek, which drains a
rapidly developing subwatershed. Further, discussions regarding the potential for developing a
regional park in the area should be finalized before additional City approvals are obtained by the
developer.
Lastly, the SWCD recommends the use of conservation site design (a.k.a. low impact development or
LID) practices such as impervious area reduction, road width minimization, infiltration BMPs, on-site
storage, and vegetated stormwater conveyance channels to the extent practicable. Minimizing the post-
development curve number (to reduce runoff volume) and maximizing time of concentration (to reduce
peak discharge rates) are critical design elements in the LID approach, Further, the SWCD may be able
to provide financial incentives to support incorporation of LID concepts into the development plans.
Thank you for the opportunity to review this plan, Good implementation, consistent monitoring, and
maintenance of all erosion control measures are important to minimize erosion on this construction site,
Please be aware that because the project disturbs more than 5 acres, the applicant must apply for a
MPCA General Stormwater Permit at least two days prior to initiating construction. If you have any
questions please contact me at (651) 480-7779.
Regards,

Storm Water Susceptibility has a functional index of 0.61 and Floral DiversitylIntegrity has a
functional index of 0,685. They fall within the range of protect (See Table 1).
WETLANDS, PROTECT: These wetlands exist in a largely unaltered state and have special
and unusual qualities that call for a high level of protection. These
wetlands may provide habitat for rare, threatened and/or
endangered plant and animal species present; and/or have moderate
to exceptional floral diversity/integrity and moderate to high
susceptibility to storm water and snowmelt; and/or are within the
designated trout-stream corridor identified on the City's Wetland
and Waterbody Classification Map,
.:x- WETLAJ.'IDS, MANAGE I:
These wetlands have plant communities that are in a largely
unaltered state. The vegetative communities of these wetlands
are characterized by moderate floral diversion and are slightly to
moderately susceptible to storm-water and snowmelt impacts.
.
;Jf- WETLANDS, MAJ.'iAGE 2: These -wetlands have usually been altered by human activities.
These wetlands have low to medium floral diversity and wildlife
habitat components. These wetlands are slightly susceptible to
impacts from storm water, In addition, if a wetland has
characteristics of a utilized basin but is located within a park or
greenway corridor (as shown on the Wetland and Waterbody
Classification Map) it was put in this management classification.
8
__ WETLANDS, UTILIZE:
These wetlands have been significantly altered and degraded
through past disturbances. They may be isolated, with altered
hydrology from urban or agricultural land uses. These wetlands
have low floral diversity, and for the most part are not connected to
other ecosystems. These wetlands are the least susceptible to
impacts from storm water.

GENERAL PROVISIONS
(A)
This ordinance shall apply to any applicant for a subdivision approval, or a grading,
excavation, or mining permit to allow wetland-disturbing, activities after June 7 (date of
ordinance). No subdivision approval, or grading, permit to allow wetland disturbing
activities shall be issued until approval of the wetland replacement plan application or a
certificate of exemption has been obtained in strict conformance with the provisions of this
chapter and the Minnesota Wetland Conservation Act. This chapter applies to all land,
public or private, located within the City of Farmington,
;k
(B) When any provision of any ordinance conflicts with this chapter, that which provides more
protection to the wetland or wetland buffer shall apply unless specifically provided
otherwise in this chapter; provided, such exceptions shall not conflict with state
regulations, such as the State Shore land Program,
.
(C) This ordinance shall apply to all land containing wetlands and land within the setback and
buffer areas required by this ordinance, Wetlands shall be subject to the requirements
established herein, as well as restrictions and requirements established by other applicable
Federal, State, and City ordinances and regulations. These wetland protection regulations
shall not be construed to allow anything, otherwise prohibited in the zoning district where
the wetland area is located,
(D) A wetland is land that meets the definition of "wetlands'" set forth in this Ordinance.
Wetlands have been identified and the Wetland Management Classification as established
by the officially adopted City maps shall be prima facie evidence of the location and
classification of a wetlands. The official maps shall be developed and maintained by the
Community Development Department. The presence or absence of a wetland on the
official maps does not represent a definitive determination as to whether a jurisdictional
wetland is or is not present. Wetlands that are identified during site specific delineation
activities but do not appear on the official wetland maps are still subject to the provisions of
the Ordinance, It will be the responsibility of an applicant to delineate the exact wetland
boundary, All delineations must be reviewed by the Dakota County Soil and Water
Conservation District. The Dakota County Soil and Water Conservation District will make
recommendations to the City, The City Council has delegated delineation review authority
to its staff. The City will classify wetlands based on the criteria discussed under Section
10-9-3, The applicant shall get final delineation approval from the City,
.
9
"
. Applicants seeking a change in wetland classification must submit to the city a completed
MNRAM Version 1.0 form. The Technical Evaluation Panel will review the request for
chance. The Technical Evaluation Panel will make a recommendation to the City regarding
the change in classification.
(E) This subdivision is applicable to wetlands that are determined to be Jurisdictional
Wetlands, based on delineation procedures of the Wetland Conservation Act.
(F) This subdivision establishes four wetland classifications as defined in the Definitions
section of this Ordinance: Protect, Manage 1, Manage 2, and Utilize.
10-9-5:
GENERAL STANDARDS
(A) The following standards apply to all lands within and/or abutting a wetland:
1. S~ptic and soil absorption systems must be setback a minimum of 100 feet from
the City approved boundary of the wetland.
2.
Building elevation standards shall conform with the standards of the Fannington
Surface Water Management Plan.
.
3.
Structures intended to provide access across a wetland shall be prohibited unless a
permit is obtained in conformance with State Regulations.
4. The MPCA's Best Management Practices shall be followed to avoid erosion and
sedimentation during construction processes.
)[
10-9-6:
NO NET LOSS ~'l\ffi WETLA1~ AL TERA nON
(A) It is the intent of this ordinance to avoid the alteration and destruction of wetlands. When
wetlands or their buffer areas are altered or destroyed, mitigation must be provided to
recreate the functions and values of the lost wetland and/or buffer area.
To achieve no net loss of wetlands except as authorized by a wetland alteration permit
issued by the City, a person may not drain, grade, fill, remove healthy native vegetation, or
otherwise alter or destroy a wetland of any size or type. Any alteration to a wetlands
permitted by a wetland alteration permit, must be fully mitigated so that there is no net loss
of wetlands.
.
(B) \\There it is found that avoidance of direct impact on a wetland is not feasible, wetland
replacement shall be done as per agency (Corps of Engineers, Department of Natural
Resources), and City [WCA] standards. Replacement wetlands shall be located within the
City, if feasible; if a suitable location is not available preference shall be given to areas
10
.
within the major, watershed where the alteration is occurring. Ifno location is available
within the watershed area. a replacement location should be found within Dakota County.
(C)
Drainage, grading, filling, removal of healthy native vegetation or otherwise altering or
destroying a wetland of any size or type requires a wetland alteration permit. Other
activities in a wetland requiring a wetland alteration permit include, but are not limited to:
1. Construction of new streets and utilities.
2. Installation of boardwalks.
(D) When a wetland alteration permit is issued allowing filling in a wetland, the following
standards shall be followed:
}, Filling must be consistent with the Fannington Surface Water Management Plan,
2, Filling in wetland areas will be required to be mitigated in accordance with the
requirements of this Ordinance and the Wetland Conservation Act,
(E) When a wetland alteration permit is issued allowing dredging, excavating or grading in a
wetlands the following standards shall be followed:
.
1.
The dredging will not have a net adverse effect on the ecological and hydrological
characteristics of the wetland.
2. It shall be located as to minimize the impact on vegetation. Exceptions may be
allowed in basins dominated by invasive exotic species such as Reed canary grass
(Phalaris arundinacea),
3. It shall not adversely change water flow,
4, The size of the dredged area shall be limited to the minimum required for the
proposed action.
5. Disposal of the dredged material is prohibited within the wetland area unless it is
part of an approved wetland replacement plan.
6. Disposal of any dredged material shall include proper erosion control and nutrient
retention measures.
7,
Dredging in any wetland area is prohibited during waterfowl breeding season or
fish spawning season, unless it is determined by the City that the wetland is not
used for waterfowl breeding or fish spawning.
.
8. Dredging in wetland areas will be required to be mitigated in accordance with
requirements of this Ordinance if the activity results in a loss of functional

(D) Buffer areas shall be identified by permanent monumentation acceptable to the City. In
residential subdivisions, a monument is required for each lot. In other situations, a
monument is required for each three hundred (300) feet of wetland edge.
(E) The clearing and removal of vegetation in the buffer area is prohibited, except for
selective clearing and pruning, of individual trees and shrubs which are dead, diseased,
noxious weeds, or hazards.
(F) Where acceptable to adjacent properties, owners are encouraged to leave dead trees and
branches in the buffer area, because they are part of the native natural environment and
provide necessary habitat to many birds and native wildlife,
(6) All buffer areas are measured from the wetland edge as marked in the field.
(H) The following buffer area sizes are minimum requirements:

(1) Any wetland restored, relocated, replaced or enhanced because of wetland alterations
should have at least the minimum buffer area required for the class of the wetland
involved.
(1) The City may recommend buffer area averaging in instances where it will provide
resource protection to wetland or to valuable adjacent upland habitat, or allow for
reasonable use of property as described in Section 4, provided that the total buffer area
on-site contained in the buffer remains the same.
(K) For roadways, trails, and driveways, or portions thereof, that are routed across wetlands
and are subject to WCA replacement requirements, no buffer areas shall be required.
Public trails that are routed through wetlands for specific interpretive purposes shall also
be exempted from this requirement. (See illustration 10-9-7L)
