Interim Use Permit - Automobile Repair within B-4 Zoning District
May 25, 1999
INTRODUCTION
Arlender Nordvik and IDS Properties have made application for an interim use permit to locate an
automobile repair facility within the B-4 (Neighborhood Commercial) zoning district. Because this
application sets precedence in the B-4 District it will require a text amendment to the Zoning Code,
which will need City Council approval.

DISCUSSION
The Interim Use Ordinance was approved by the Planning Commission at the May II, 1999 meeting
and forwarded on to the City Council where it was unanimously approved at the May 17, 1999
Council meeting.
The building owners, JDS Properties, have applied for an interim use permit to allow Airlake Ford
body shop to be legally located within the facility and zoning district. This is the initial application
for an interim use permit within the B-4 (Neighborhood Business) zoning district; this will require
City Council approval of a text amendment to the Zoning Code. If the text amendment is approved
by the City Council, the Planning Commission would have to consider the location of other
automobile repair facilities within any B-4 zoning district if other applications are made. The
Planning Commission would be permitted to place any contingencies they deem necessary, including
time guidelines, to the property.
During the process of having the property rezoned to B-4 (Neighborhood Business), the property
owners and tenants of the building held a neighborhood meeting with residents on January 7, 1999 to
discuss the use of the building. The residents appeared not to object the Airlake Ford body shop as
long as certain conditions were met (see Lee Smick's January 12, 1999 memo to the Planning
Commission). A suggestion was made about placing a time restriction on the business that would
allow the business to stay and permit enough time to locate an alternate site where the use was
permitted.
The Zoning Code text amendment creating the B-4 (Neighborhood Business) Zoning District was
approved by City Council on March 1, 1999. The Council rezoned the property to B-4
(Neighborhood Business) at the same March 1st meeting. However this new zoning district did not
include automobile repair as a permitted or conditional use because of concerns that that type of land
use should be located near residential neighborhoods.
The office building currently has four tenants at this time, Airlake Ford, as the fifth tenant, utilizes
the garage/warehouse area in the building as an auto repair shop and has been in the location since
last year as an illegal non-conforming use. The Planning Division became aware of the auto repair
operation in October of 1998 and required that the property owners apply for a rezoning of the
property to assist in making the office building/auto repair shop a conforming use.
INTERIM USE PROCESS/FACTS
Because this is the initial application to an ordinance that was only just recently adopted, the process
in which this application will be guided is given along with facts.
Process
la. Application is made for initial interim use
1 b. Staff forwards application to Planning Commission.
2. Planning Commission determines if use is appropriate for that particular zoning district.
3a. Commission acts to approve, deny or approve with conditions the permit application.
3b. If the application requires a text amendment to the Zoning Code, the application is acted on by
.
.
.
the Commission and a recommendation is forwarded to the City Council.
4. City Council considers Planning Commission recommendation, 4/5thsvote is required to amend
the Zoning Code.
5. Approved Interim Use Permit is filed with Dakota County Recorder.
Facts
. The Commission may attach any contingencies deemed necessary to the application, including a
time restriction which is identifiable (i.e. calendar dates) and at which time the use must cease.
Any conditions of the permit not met by the applicant will result in termination of the permit.
. The applicant may re-apply for an interim use permit at the time of expiration of the previous
permit.
. A property may be rezoned during an interim use period that may make the use non-conforming.
. The Planning Commission and/or City Council may reverse any text amendment to the Zoning
Code during an interim use period making the use non-conforming.
. Appeals will be forwarded directly to the City Council where a 4/5ths decision is needed to affirm
or overturn the decision of the Planning Commission.
. All Interim Use applications will be reviewed following the requirements outlined in Section 10-
8-5 of the Zoning Code.
Approval of any Interim Use Permit will have to be contingent on City Council approval of the text
amendment for each initial interim use.
ACTION REOUESTED
Staff would recommend that the Commission, if considering approval of this request, place the
following types of conditions:
1. Length of operationlExpiration of permit (i.e. Staff would recommend a period of time not to
exceed the proposed five year lease extension being considered for this business)
2. Time of operation (i.e. Mon. through Fri. - 7 A.M. to 5 P.M., Saturdays 8 A.M. to Noon)
3. Extent of operations (i.e. no priming or painting)
4. Limitations on outdoor parking of repaired vehicles (i.e. repaired vehicles may be parked on site
after repair for no more than 72 hours)
5. Exterior storage of parts (i.e. no exterior storage of parts or enclosure required)
6. Limitations on noise/open doors (i.e. garage doors must be kept closed during certain hours)
7. Facility expansion (i.e. the operation be limited to the square footage it currently occupies)

DRAFT - ~o;;CJvcO
Adopt Ordinance - Interim Use Amendment
The interim use ordinance will provide the City an alternative to the existing
permitted and conditional uses within the zoning code. If a proposed interim use
meets all five requirements under section "A" of the proposed ordinance the
Planning Commission can approve the permit based on any subject contingencies,
including length oftime, as to be date specific, of the use. The Council does have
the option in the future to strike any interim uses from the zoning code as deemed
necessary, such action may result in any existing interim use to become a non-
conforming use. When an interim use is approved it does set a precedent for other
businesses to apply for an interim use permit in that same zoning district. An
interim use permit allows a business to continue for a limited amount of tirne.
MOTION by Soderberg, second by Strachan to adopt ORDINANCE 099-431
approving the amendment to Title 10, Chapter 8 of the Farmington City Code.
APIF, MOTION CARRIED.
b)
Holiday Lighting and Decorations - Status Report
The Street and Utility Division has indicated that the Holiday Lighting used in the
Downtown is in poor operating condition and considered unsafe relative to
electrical conduit. According to the City Attorney, the use of public funds for the
purchase of new or replacement decorations is generally discouraged when
associated with any overt symbols of Christianity or Judaism, or any other
specific religious belief system. In light of the fact that the City has not directly
participated in purchasing holiday decorations, it would be appropriate to refer
this issue to an outside community group. MOTION by Soderberg, second by
Cordes to refer this issue to the Chamber of Commerce. APIF, MOTION
CARRIED.
13. COUNCIL ROUNDTABLE
a) Survey Information - Fish House Storage
This issue was discussed during Council roundtable at the May 3, 1999 Council
meeting. Staff conducted a survey of other area cities regarding regulations of
fish houses. Apple Valley and Rosemount treat fish houses the same as accessory
buildings or storage sheds. Burnsville treats fish houses the same way they
handle campers and RV's. Council did not feel the number of complaints
constituted a problem that would call for an ordinance amendment. If problems
persist, it will be brought back to Council.

Application to Amend the Comprehensive Plan - 821 Third Street
DATE:
January 12, 1998
INTRODUCTIONIDISCUSSION
The application to amend the Comprehensive Plan at 821 Third Street was reviewed at the
December 8, 1998 Planning Commission meeting. The owners requested that the Comprehensive
Plan be amended from Low Density Residential to Business for the 41,047 square foot property.
At the meeting, a number of residents from the adjacent neighborhood had concerns with the
Airlake Ford body shop presently operating within the bay area of the building. The concerns
included noises associated with the repair of automobiles as well as the outside storage of cars
and parts. Other concerns from the residents included the alleged dumping of noxious pollutants
on an adjoining resident's property.
At the request of the Planning Commission, the property owners held a meeting at the site on
January 7, 1999. The owners, tenants of the building and residents were in attendance to discuss
the use of the building. Results from this meeting include the following:
1. The residents did not object to the Airlake Ford body shop as long as the 'owners require
the tenant to keep the garage door closed throughout business hours, limit the business
hours, not allow for outdoor storage of cars or parts, only allow for the priming of cars -
no painting of cars would be allowed and eliminating any noise associated with the body
shop operations.
2. The residents did not object to the veterinary lab in the building as long as no outdoor
mixing of powders is done on the site or dumping of materials on the lot and no semi-
tractor trailer trucks be allowed in the alley area.
3. The property owners verbally agreed to continue to share the parking lot with White's
Funeral Home to the south.
Since the property owners agreed to the above contingencies, the residents were satisfied with the
uses existing in the building. Therefore, City staff is making the following recommendations for
the property at 821 Third Street: .
.
1.
Consideration of the establishment of a new neighborhood business district as a text
amendment to the Zoning Code and that the property at 821 Third Street be considered
for rezoning to this new classification.
2. Since the Airlake Ford space has continually been used as a vehicle repair shop since the
early 1960's when Dakota Electric constructed the building, there will be no change in
the original non-conforming use for a vehicle repair shop. Therefore, it is recommended
that the application to amend the Comprehensive Plan from Low Density Residential to
Business should be withdrawn and the owners apply for a conditional use permit for a
change of a non-conforming use as cited in Section 10-6-1 of the City Code.
The City Attorney has reviewed and approves the staff recommendation,
ACTION REQUESTED
City staff recommends the public hearing for the amendment of the Comprehensive Plan for the
property at 821 Third Street from Low Density Residential to Business be closed. Action on the
amendment to the Comprehensive Plan should continue to be considered with the rezoning to the
new neighborhood business district.

Existing Conditions:
This is the final phase of the Nelson Hills Farm
PUD Development. The site has been graded
per the grading plan that was approved as a
conditional use permit by the City Council on
September 21, 1998.
Streets and Accesses:
The proposed plat consists of four east-west
local streets connecting to Everest Path to the
east. The streets will be constructed at 32 feet in
width within a 60-foot right-of-way. Executive
Avenue shows a temporary cul-de-sac along the
west property line and Exceptional Trail will
terminate as a stub street at the west property
line.
Sidewalks:
Sidewalks are not required on local streets and
are not provided for in this plat.
Topography:
The property is slightly rolling with drainage
patterns following the topography of the grading
plan. Outlot A is proposed as a storm water
pond and is located in the central portion of the
7th Addition.
Wetland:
No wetlands exist on the site.
Flood Plain:
The property is not affected by a floodplain.
Parkland and Trails:
The parkland requirement has been met with the
land acquisition of Daisy Knoll Park located
northeast of the Nelson Hills Farm 7th Addition.
Construction of a play structure in this park will
commence in the summer of 1999. An existing
north-south trail is located to the east of Everest
Path and continues south through the Troyhills
development.
DISCUSSION
Grading for the Nelson Hills Farm 7th Addition has recently begun and will continue during the
summer months. A conditional use permit for grading the site was granted by the Planning
Commission on September 8, 1998 and by the City Council on September 21, 1998.
The Engineering Division has completed their review and has determined that minor engineering
issues need to be addressed as discussed in the attached letter by Lee Mann, Director of Public
Works/City Engineer. The review also includes the need for a landscape plan and street lighting
plan to show the location of boulevard trees and streetlights within the 7th Addition.
.
.
.
REQUESTED ACTION
Approve the Nelson Hills Farm 7th Addition Preliminary & Final Plat contingent on engineering
requirements and the submittal of a landscape and street lighting plan and forward this
recommendation to the City Council.

Engineering staff has reviewed the Pinal plat and construction drawings submitted for the
above referenced project. Prom an engineering standpoint, the major issues have been or are
in process of being addressed. There are several minor adjustments to drainage and utility
easements that are being coordinated with the developer's engineer.
It should be noted that several residents from the 5th Addition of Nelsen Hills have submitted
a petition to the City Council requesting that drainage issues related to the ponds in their
backyards be addressed before any future additions of Nelsen Hills are allowed to proceed.
The ponds in question are located behind the homes along Explorer Way, adjacent to the
northerly boundary of the 7th Addition.
Staff has conducted meetings with the residents involved and the developer regarding the
residents' issues. As a result of those meetings, the developer agreed to work with the City to
resolve the issues. Subsequently, the developer and City staff identified a plan of action to
investigate and address the residents' issues.
The investigation into the issues is proceeding. When the project is forwarded to the City
Council, a full report will be presented to the Council outlining the residents' issues and the
proposed resolution to those issues. This report will also be provided to the Planning
Commission.

Cameron Woods Final Plat
DATE:
May 25, 1999
INTRODUCTION
Cameron Woods consists of an 82-unit senior cooperative housing facility located on the west
side of Pilot Knob Road, north of the Nelson Hills Farm development, east of the recently
approved Pine Ridge Forest development and south of the Terra Addition development. The
preliminary plat was approved by the Planning Commission on December 8, 1999 and by the City
Council on December 21, 1999 contingent on engineering requirements and the resolution of the
connection of Euclid Street on the north and south in the Development Contract.
DISCUSSION
The proposed development consists of two, 3-story, 41-unit buildings on 13.7 acres. The gross
dwelling units per acre are 82 units/13.7 acres calculating to 6.0 units/acre in an R-2 PUD district.
Lots I- and 2 show front yard setbacks of twenty feet and side and rear setbacks of ten feet,
complying with the R-2 PUD zoning district. Lots 3 and 4 are remaining acreages surrounding
the buildings. These lots provide a blanket easement for the utility requirements.
The parkland area and acreage dedicated to the City are located in Outlots A and B respectively.
Outlots C and D include the two stormwater ponds required on the site. Outlot A complies with
the requirements for Parkland Dedication fees, while Outlot B will be gifted to the City by Jack
Benedict.
The revised site plan shows 50 feet to the building measured from the property line of the Terra
Addition to the north and 90 feet from the Pilot Knob right-of-way to the building foundation on
the east side of the site. The 50-foot setback line from the Terra Addition property does meet the
initial requirements of the Cameron Woods Townhomes project that was required by the Planning
Commission in the spring of 1998. The buildings also meet the 50-foot building setback line
along a minor arterial road (Pilot Knob Road) measured from the planned right-of-way line
inward as required in Section 10-4-1 (J) of the City Code.
The following are contingencies to the approval of the Cameron Woods Cooperative Final Plat
approval:
. 1. Approval of the Final Plat is contingent on compliance of engineering requirements.
.
.
.
2. Continuing discussions concerning the connection of Euclid Street to the north and south of
the proposed development will need to be addressed in the Development Contract.
3. A detailed landscape plan showing locations and species of plantings surrounding the
buildings is required.
4. Approval of the Final Plat is contingent on the submission and approval of a street lighting
plan.
ACTION REOUESTED
Adopt the Cameron Woods Cooperative Final PlatlFinal PUD Plan contingent upon the above
requirements and forward the Final PlatlFinal PUD Plan to the City Council.

RE:
Lee Smick, City Planning Coordinator
CAMERON WOODS
Dear Ms. Smick:
The Dakota County Plat Commission met on October 19, 1998, to consider the preliminary plat of CAMERON
WOODS. Said plat is adjacent to CSAH 31 and is, therefore, subject to the Dakota County Contiguous Plat
Ordinance.
The plat meets the County's Right of Way and Access Spacing Guidelines. There is no access to this site from
CSAH 31 with restricted access required to be dedicated on the final plat. The right of way dedicated on the
final plat must conform to Dakota County Road Right of Way Map No. 199A.
The Ordinance requires submittal of a final plat before a recommendation is made to the County Board.
Traffic volumes on CSAH 31 are 9,500 ADT and are anticipated to be 26,000 ADT by the year 2020. These
traffic volumes indicate that current Minnesota noise standards for residential units could be exceeded for the
proposed plat. Residential developments along County highways commonly result in noise complaints. In order
for noise levels from the highway to meet acceptable levels for adjacent residential units, substantial building
setbacks, buffer areas, and other noise mitigation elements should be incorporated into this development.
No worj( shali commence in the Co~ntYllght of way ui.ii1 a permit is obtained from the County Highway
Department and no permit will be issued until the plat has been filed. The Plat Commission does not review or
approve actual engineering design of proposed accesses and other improvements made in the right of way.
The permit process reviews th~ design and may require construction of highway improvements not discussed
during plat reviews, including, but not limited, to tum lanes, drainage features, etc.

RE: REVIEW OF THE PRELIMINARY PLAT FOR THE CAMERON WOODS MULTI-FAMILY
RESIDENTIAL DEVELOPMENT LOCATED IN SECTION 14, TOWNSHIP 114N, RANGE 20W.
Dear Lee:
The Dakota County Soil and Water Conservation District (District) has reviewed the Preliminary Grading
Plan for the above-mentioned site. This project entails two buildings and associated parking on
approximately 13 acres. The following report summarizes the proposed erosion controls and submits
additional erosion and sediment control recommendations.
We observed the following erosion and sediment controls on the plans:
.
1. Three stormwater ponds.
2. Various bale checks.
3. Two rock construction entrances.
We have the following comments and recommendations regarding erosion and sedimentation control:
1. Overexcavate and use the stormwater ponds as temporary sediment basins to hold site runoff during
construction. Construct these ponds prior to upslope land disturbance. Stabilize the pond
embankment and emergency spillway within seven days of construction. Install temporary risers on
the sediment ponds to optimize sediment trapping efficiency.
2. Consider installing a temporary slope drai.., other device to convey the water from the swale on the
western portion of the site to Pond A. One bale check is inadequate to handle the flow.
3. Install silt fence at the toe of all major down gradients, including the west side of Euclid Street and
the eastern construction limits. Install silt fence around all sediment ponds as soon as the
embankments are seeded and mulched or blanketed.
4. Limit construction access to one point and install a rock construction entrance at this location.
5. Install heavy-duty silt fence, sediment log, or rock check dams in place of bale check. We do not
recommend the use of bale checks for the applications shown on the plan.
6. Install inlet sediment filters at catch basins at low points in the system.
7. Show type of energy dissipation devices at all storm sewer outlets.
8. Install straw bales, silt fence, a double row of sod, or alternative device behind curbs (immediately
after curb construction) to minimize runoff from lots during building construction.
9. Include temporary and permanent seeding, mulching, and fertilization specifications on the plan.
10. Include details for all erosion controls on the plan.
11. Include notes regarding NPDES permit requirements on the plan, including inspection and
maintenance timing.

Thank you for the opportunity to review this plan. 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. Call me if you have questions.
Sincerely,
