SUBJECT:
Amend Title 2 Chapter 9 and Section 10-6-14 of the Farmington City
Code - Revised Landscape Ordinance
DATE:
October 26, 1999
INTRODUCTION
The Planning Division proposes to amend Title 2 Chapter 9 and Section 10-6-14 of the
Farmington City Code to provide for a revised landscape ordinance.
DISCUSSION
The amendment to Title 2 Chapter 9 - "Reforestation Advisory Commission" includes the
removal of Section 2-9-11 to 2-9-20 and transferring these requirements to Section 10-6-14. The
amendment to Section 10-6-14 includes the addition of the following: perimeter parking lot
planting requirements, interior parking lot planting requirements, buffer/screening requirements,
tree maintenance on City boulevards, tree protection in construction zones planting requirements
near overhead utility lines.
These amendments will mainly address commercial and industrial uses. The boulevard tree
planting requirements will address requirements for residential subdivisions.
Vision for the City of Farmington
One of the visions for the City of Farmington determined during the Comprehensive Plan Update
was to provide aesthetically pleasing commercial, industrial and business park developments along
with the beautification of the downtown area through landscaping. This vision will provide an
improved quality oflife through the creation of a healthful environment, more attractive city, and the
promotion of a community identity. Objectives to this goal include the increased awareness of the
improved aesthetics within our community while protecting natural areas and preserving pleasing
vistas. Other objectives include the consideration of aesthetic impacts at major entrances to the City,
buffering between incompatible land uses and developments that help make the City an attractive
place in which to live.
One of the major objectives to the revised landscape ordinance is to beautify the City through
landscaping for new developments and to create a City that will become more aesthetically desirable
to the citizens in the future. By requiring additional landscaping, the ordinance will also create a
healthful environment, develop an improved quality of life and provide for transitions between
incompatible land uses through buffering and screening.
.
Proposal
The proposed landscape ordinance provides both revisions and additions to the existing landscape
ordinance. Revisions include:
1. Allowable street tree species.
2. Tree maintenance on City boulevards.
3. Screening requirements.
Additions include:
1. Purpose statement.
2. Definitions concerning the landscape requirements.
3. Requirement for a registered landscape architect and/or architect, horticulturist or landscape
designer to prepare the plan.
4. Perimeter parking lot requirements.
5. Interior parking lot requirements.
6. Screening of high activity uses, storage yards and double frontage lots.
7. Planting specifications.
8. Requirement for Builder to install street trees on City boulevards.
9. Tree protection in construction zones.
10. Overhead utility line planing requirements.
.
Costs to the Developer
The costs to the Developer due to the ordinance changes for additional landscape material are
minimal when considering the increased value of the property and the cost of the entire construction
project. When addressing the increased value of the property through additional plantings on the
site, it is important that a design professional make knowledgeable choices concerning the types of
plantings suitable in this climate and how the plants function in the built environment. The revised
landscape ordinance proposes the need for a registered landscape architect or architect, a
horticulturist or landscape designer to prepare the landscape plan to insure that the plantings chosen
for the site will survive and will function as intended in the built environment. Design fees charged
by a registered landscape architect depend on the size of the project and are typically billed hourly.
An architect would typically prepare a landscape design along with the design for the structure,
charging no additional fee for this service. The design fee for a horticulturist or landscape designer
usually ranges from $250 - $1,000 per landscape plan, depending on the size of the project.
Therefore, compared to the costs of the total project and rate of survival for the plantings chosen for
the site, it will be more economically feasible to retain a professional to design the landscape plan.
.
In evaluating the costs for additional landscaping to meet the requirements of the revised landscape
ordinance, a typical site was evaluated and costs for landscaping was reviewed. The Kwik Trip at
217 Elm Street was examined regarding the size of the site and the cost of the building construction
and the cost of landscaping. Construction costs for the building, excluding the grading of the site and
surfacing of the parking lot, was identified to be $150,000 on the building permit issued in 1994..
Total landscaping costs for the site including the boulevard tree requirements and perimeter parking
lot requirements were identified at $2,485 or approximately 1.7% of the total cost in construction of
the building. Apple Valley requires the minimum cost of landscaping a commercial site to be 2.5%
of the estimated building construction costs, in line with Farmington's proposed landscape
ordinance.
2
. The revised landscape ordinance represents the consolidation of efforts from numerous individuals
including the Builders Association of the Twin Cities, City staff, developers, builders and
professionals in the design field.
Advantages of the Proposed Amendment
The revised landscape ordinance will result in the following:
· Environmental benefits to the community through the introduction of plant material
will provide improved air quality by the absorption of pollutants, moderation of
daily temperatures, and reduced soil erosion and runoff.
· Functional benefits to landscape plantings include the reduction of glare and
reflections from the sun, street lights, and automobile lights, reduction of noise by
the absorption and dispersion of sound energy and the provision of wind breaks for
slowing wind velocity and the reduction of heating costs.
· Economic benefits from the installation of plant material will include increased
property values for owners and surrounding properties, the conservation of energy
from shade trees planted near buildings, and the increased appeal of commercial
areas to shoppers driving to the site.
.
Aesthetic benefits in requiring landscaping will include the creation of pleasing
vistas, unifying and organizing disparate site elements, and establishing a
community identity to the City ofIndependence.
.
· Submitted plans will achieve a higher level of design through the employment of a
registered landscape architect, registered architect, qualified horticulturist, or a
landscape designer with an established firm.
Disadvantages of the Proposed Amendment
Issues related to the revision of the existing landscape ordinance include the following:
· An increase in development costs for the amount of plant material required and
installation of the plants, but the total amount of expenditure will in most cases still
be a relatively small percentage of total construction costs.
· An increase in development costs because of the need for employing a registered
landscape architect, registered architect, or a qualified horticulturist or landscape
designer with an experienced firm; however, this should result in greater plant
survival rates and high design standards and quality.
Conclusion
.
The revised landscape ordinance has been developed to create an improved quality of life for the
citizens of Farmington and reach the goals of the vision statements for the City. In comparing the
advantages and disadvantages, it is apparent that a great number of benefits will be seen from the
approval of the revisions and additions.

SUBJECT:
Amend Chapter 7 of the Farmington City Code - Weed Control
DATE:
October 26, 1999
INTRODUCTION
It has been suggested that the City consider amending Chapter 7 of the Farmington City Code
concerning weed control within the Farmington. The proposed revisions to the chapter include
the allowance of weeds or growing grasses in natural areas such as slopes, ponds, wildlife areas
and natural gardens on platted lots.
DISCUSSION
At the October 12, 1999 Planning Commission meeting, the Commissioners discussed the need to
include a definition for a natural area in order to discern weeds versus natural plant material. The
following definition has been included in the ordinance:
4. Natural areas on platted lots: Natural areas will be allowed on platted lots in
backyards from the most rear comer of the home subject to a six foot (6') setback
from the property lines, except in the case where the natural area is adjacent to
another natural area or fence. A natural area contains native grasses meaning those
species of perennial grasses other than those designated as noxious weeds by the
Minnesota Department of Agriculture in 1505.0730 and 1505.0740.
The revised ordinance also contains a statement concerning noxious weeds, requiring that they must
be removed regardless of where they exist.
The amendment will allow more flexibility for homeowners interested in the installation of natural
areas. Additionally, natural areas along ponds, wetlands and wildlife areas will provide protection
for these environmentally sensitive habitats.
ACTION REQUESTED
Recommend to the City Council the proposed amendment Chapter 7 Weed Control revisions.

Application for a Conditional Use Permit - Commercial Recreation and

DATE:
October 26, 1999
INTRODUCTION
Mr. John Tschohl and his son Matthew are seeking a Conditional Use Permit for a Commercial

The property is located at the northeast

Agriculture.
The owner proposes to construct a 42' x 60'
steel storage building within the A-I district.
Agricultural uses surround the property along
with single-family homes to the west of the
proposed site.
.
.
.
DISCUSSION
As stated in the attached letter dated September 29, 1999, Mr. Tschohl and his son Matthew
propose to construct a 42' x 60' steel storage building within an A-I zoning district. Section 4-5-
4 permits pole buildings within the A-I district.
As shown on the attached site plan, the applicant proposes to construct the building 30 feet from
each ofthe property lines. However, per Section 10-4-2, the required front yard setback is 50 feet
considering that Fairgreen Avenue and 210th Street may become future roadways. Therefore,
both sides of the building facing the property line are considered front yards and require 50-foot
setbacks.
The Tschohl's propose to use the building for the storage and repair of cars and the construction
of a rock-climbing wall for recreation. As stated in their letter, they feel that the storage of cars
should be considered the same as the storage of boats, which is a permitted use within an A-I
district. The City Attorney has approved this venture as a permitted use.
After continued discussions with the City Attorney, it has been determined that the Tschohl's
need to seek a Conditional Use Permit for the following uses in an A-I district:
Commercial Recreation Use - Climbing wall
Equipment and Maintenance Storage - Car repair
The climbing wall is considered a commercial recreation use because monthly dues will be
required for non-owner participants to use and maintain the facility identifying this as a
commercial use.
The car repair and storage falls under the equipment and maintenance storage category as a
conditional use. The equipment maintenance and storage definition reads as follows:
"A structure for maintenance, repair or storage of equipment on property
owned by the owner of said equipment."
The owner may repair cars that he owns within the facility, but the repair of cars not personally
owned by him for a profit is not allowed in an A-I district.
ACTION REQUESTED
Approve the Conditional Use Permit for a Commercial Recreation Use (climbing wall) and
Equipment and Maintenance Storage (car repair) for the proposed 42'x 60' steel storage building
at the northeast intersection of Fairgreen Avenue and 210th Street based on the following
condition;
1. The number of recreational users be limited to 20 at any given time during use of the
climbing wall;
2. Advertising only be permitted for the storage of vehicles, property owner must submit sign
application for proper review and approval by Planning staff;
.
.
.
3. Hours of operation for the repair of vehicles and recreational use of the climbing wall be
limited to the hours between 7 A.M. to 10 P.M.;
4. Vehicle or equipment repair is limited to vehicles owned by the property owner;
5. No outside storage of vehicles or vehicle parts is permitted;
6. All uses of the facility and property be limited to the applied uses as described on the
conditional use application and property owners letter, any other uses, commercial or
recreational, must be approved by the Planning Commission at a separate public hearing;
7. Building location must meet the minimum setback requirements for the zoning district.

Dear Lee:
My son needs the building approved on October 12 so it can be built now. Otherwise, he
will miss the entire winter season.
The building will be used to store cars and boats. The climbing wall will be for a
cooperative of 12 young boys. It is not for commercial use.
The storage of cars should be the same as boats. He will store cars for people who want a
heated storage facility, not to repair their cars. Eventually he will repair cars he owns in
the building. I doubt if anyone in Farmington needs a conditional permit to repair their
cars in their own garage.
Please respond by fax or phone today. I believe you will have the names today from
Dakota County Abstract.

4-5-3: ALTERNATE MATERIALS: In the event an owner, intending
to apply for a building permit, desires to use any of the
materials included under Section 4-5-2 above as exterior finish materials,
such owner may present to the Building Official a request for preliminary
approval for the use of such materials prior to the preparation of final
drawings and application required by other sections of this Chapter. Such
information may be necessary to indicate accurately the use to be made of
such materials and the appearance of the exterior of such structure when
completed.
~,'
If such request for preliminary approval of materials is granted by the
Building Official or the Council, as the case may be, the sketch and other
information shall be properly marked for identification by the Building
Official and be filed in his office and such data shall become a part of the
building permit application when filed. (Ord. 093-319, 12-6-93)
.
4-5-4: POLE BUILDINGS: A pole building shall be permitted in
zoning districts A-1 or C-1 and only in any other district upon
approval by the City Council. Said Council shall exercise its discretion in
determining whether or not a building of such type will be compatible with
the surrounding area. Such structures may be authorized by the Council for
use as warehouse, heavy equipment storage, or other uses which would
tend to be compatible with that type of structure and in a location where it
would not be offensive to other property owners or persons within the City.
(Ord. 093-319, 12-6-93)
4-5-5: RESIDENTIAL PERFORMANCE STANDARDS:
(A) Uniform Building Code: All residential units shall meet applicable
requirements of the CABO One and Two Family Dwelling Code,
1986 Edition, which has been adopted by reference by the City.
(8) Dwelling Unit Restrictions:
1. No garage, tent, accessory building or motor home shall at any
time be used as living quarters, either temporarily or permanently.
2. Basements and cellars may be used as living quarters or rooms
as a portion of the principal residential dwelling. Energy conserving
designs such as earth sheltered housing shall be exempt from this
provision.
