Continue the public hearing to the April 14, 1998 Planning Commission meeting in order to address all issues. b) Farmington Middle School - 2nd Addition Preliminary Plat Recommendation 1. Recommend approval of the Farmington Middle School - 2nd Addition Preliminary Plat contingent on Engineering and Planning comments and forward the preliminary plat to the City Council after resolution of staff comments has been achieved. " . TO: City Planning Commission FROM: Lee Smick, Planning Coordinator DATE: March 4, 1998 RE: Prairie Creek East Schematic PUD After further review of the Prairie Creek East Schematic PUD, it has become apparent to City staff that there are a number of issues which could significantly impact the schematic layout of the project. Therefore, City staff is recommending that the Prairie Creek East Schematic PUD be continued to the April 14, 1998 Planning Commission meeting in order to resolve the following issues: I. Engineering issues concerning the storm sewer layout as explained in the City Engineer's comments dated February 20, 1998. (See attached). 2. Determination of the correctness of the floodplain shown on the plan compared to the City's Surface Water Management Plan. . 3. EA W issues concerning the wetlands on the site. As stated at the February 24th Planning Commission meeting, comments by other agencies reviewing the project must be delivered to the City by March 25. Early indications by agencies who have contacted the City indicate that there may be significant issues that will need resolution before the Prairie Creek East EA W can be approved. (See attached Bonestroo and Dakota County Soil and Water Conservation District comments). Each one of the above issues could significantly impact the layout of the schematic plan by requiring grades to be changed, lots to be reconfigured or removed entirely andlor the possibility of significant impact findings in the EA W. Since these issues are so far reaching in the overall design of the project, City staff recommends that additional time be allowed to meet with the developer and other agencies reviewing the project for adequate comments to be gathered by the staff. It is recommended that the schematic plan be continued at a minimum to the April 14th Planning Commission meeting. cc: John Erar, City Administrator Dave Olson, Community Development Director Lee Mann, City Engineer Warren Israelson, Progress Land Company .

Mann, P.E., Director of Public Works/City Engineer SUBJECT: Prairie Creek East Schematic Plan Review. DATE: February 20, 1998 Engineering staff has reviewed the Schematic Plan submitted for Prairie Creek East and forward the following comments: Schematic Plan 1. If approved, the approval of the Schematic Plan will need to be contingent on the results of the EAW. 2. The flood plain needs to be established per Erik Peters memo dated 9/16/97 which includes review and approval by the appropriate agencies. The creek that runs through the site needs to be re-graded and includes work that needs to be done in Empire Township. This issue should be brought forward and addressed as quickly as possible. . 3. All City streets need to meet 30 mph horizontal and vertical design standards. 4. Show adjacent streets, lot lines and property boundaries. 5. The 16" trunk Water main will need to be continued northerly through the site. 6. The Fire Marshall and Police Chief will need to review and approve the phasing. The second phase will create a long dead end until the third phase is built. 7. Any comments from other agencies will need to be addressed. 8. Street connection points to adjacent properties my need to be moved based on further study of adjacent properties. Utility Plans The plans submitted are preliminary. Refer to the City of Farmington Submittal Checklist for Subdivisions when submitting for the preliminary plat. Review cannot commence without a . complete submittal. The following comments are based on the preliminary plans and other issues Citl}. of FarminfJton 325 Oak Street. Farminl]ton, MN 55024 · (612) 463.7111 · Fax (612) 463.2591 . may be raised during subsequent reviews. Approval of the schematic plan does not constitute approval of the utility layout and design. The following are general comments based on the plans submitted. 1. All requirements set forth in the Surface Water Management Plan (September 1997) for developments and design will need to be met. 2. Catch basin spacing shall not exceed 400-feet on any road or swale and water shall be picked up before it enters an intersection. Catch basins need to be added at the end of all stub streets to control erosion and protect the road from washouts where applicable. 3. The number of Storm Sewer lines that run down property lines through yards needs to be minimized. Route the lines in the street where possible. Flared sections are not allowed in backyards, use catch basins. 4. Pond location and sizing will be reviewed when calculations are submitted. Respectfully submitted, ~~~ . Lee M. Mann, P.E. Director of Public Works/City Engineer cc: file . . March 7, 1998 Mr. Dave Olson Community Development Director City of Farmington 325 Oak Street Farmington, Minnesota 55024 RE: Environmental Assessment Worksheet (EA W) and Preliminary Plat Review, Prairie Creek East Residential Development Dear Mr. Olson, We have reviewed the above referenced project and provide the following comments. Item 6. Construction Impacts and Timing: The drainage ditch which flows southeast through the site is proposed to be excavated as part of a 10.7 acre wetland reconstruction. In page 6, paragraph 4 of the EA W one of the stated goals of excavating the drainage ditch is to lower the surficial water table adjacent to the ditch. Lowering the water table may result in wetland drainage unless riparian areas are excavated to depths that will maintain adequate wetland hydrology. This does not appear possible given that the preliminary plat shows lots platted within areas . identified as wetland. In addition, if surface water runoff is an important component of the wetland hydrology, increasing the hydraulic efficiency of the ditch may result in additional loss of wetland. An analysis ofhydrologic impacts to wetlands from ditch excavation should be completed as described on page 9, paragraph 2 of the EA W. Item 12. Physical Impacts on Water Resources: Any improvements to the ditch as part of the 10.7-acre wetland restoration should not negatively impact water levels ofDNR Protected Wetland 19-352W (Lake Julia). Item 12. Wetland Replacement and Enhancement: Page 8, paragraph 5 states that the 3 acres of new wetland creation will be completed as partial mitigation for wetland fill and excavation. Where will this mitigation take place? Is part of this mitigation the 1.60 acres of wetland replacement that occurs within the existing wetland boundaries? The location of wetland replacement areas as well as buffers and ponding areas eligible for PVC credits should be provided in greater detail. Item 14. Water-related Land Use Management Districts: The second to the last paragraph of page 11 states that the floodway (based on Barr Engineering's Study) roughly corresponds with the delineated wetland boundary. If this includes the delineated wetland boundary shown on the preliminary plat for the project, a considerable number of lots will be located in the floodway. Given required lot setback requirements and requirements for basement floor elevations to be one foot above the lOO-year flood elevation, will these lots be buildable? As indicated on page 12, paragraph 2 of the EA W, a more detailed analysis of the floodplain should be completed. A floodplain letter of map revision (LOMR) will be required if a new floodplain boundary is established. . . . . Name of Client March 7, 1998 Page 2 Item 18. Water Quality - Surface Water Runoff: Reference is made to storm water management requirements for different wetland classifications in the Farmington Surface Water Management Plan. Please note that all wetland management classifications have not yet been determined within the project area. All wetland management classifications are preliminary until the City's Wetland Inventory and Ordinance is completed during the summer of 1998. If wetlands need to be classified prior to the City completing its inventory, a map showing the location of the wetland should be sent to the City with a request for a wetland management class determination. Storm water runoff should be pretreated prior to discharge into wetlands. Based on the preliminary plat, stormwater appears to be routed directly into wetlands. Stormwater ponds should be relocated closer to the drainage ditch/wetland system to capture a greater proportion of runoff from the site. Stormwater ponding should not be constructed within existing wetlands Storm water Infrastructure Issues: The City has several concerns with respect to stormwater infrastructure/drainage issues. These concerns include: · Storm water pipes within residential lots. Stormwater pipes should be located on streets or on City property so that future access and maintenance is practical. · It appears that storm water drainage will be facilitated through the use of rear yard drainage swales discharging into flared-end culverts. Stormwater should be discharged into catch basins. Please let me know if you have any questions concerning these comments Sincerely, Anthony R. DeMars Natural Resource Specialist C: Lee Mann Lee Smick DAKOTA COUNTY SOILAND WATER CONSERVATION DISTRICT Dakota County Extension and Conservation Center 4100 220th Street West, Suite 102 Farmington, MN 55024 Phone: (612) 891-7777 FAX: (612) 891-7775 . February 19,1998 Mr. Michael Schultz City Planning Division 325 Oak Street Farmington, MN 55024 Ref.: 96-FRM-D56 RE: PRELIMINARY PLAT Al'\1> SCHEMATIC Pl1> REVIEW FOR THE PROPOSED PRAIRIE CREEK EAST DE\"ELOP)IENT LOCATED IN SECTION 13, Tl14N, R22W Dear Mike: The Dakota County Soil and Water Conservation District (District) has reviewed the above-mentioned plans. We are unable to complete a thorough review of the preliminary plat and assume a grading and erosion control plan will be forwarded to our office as soon as it is available. Further, we are in the process of reviewing the project's EA \V and will submit additional comments prior to the closing of the 3D-day public comment period. The District submits the following preliminary comments regarding the Schematic PUD and preliminary . plat (Prairie Creek East 15t Addition, referred to as Prairie Creek 5!b Addition): 1. The EA W review and EIS determination should be completed prior to preliminary plat approval. 2. The floodplain location/elevation issue should be resolved prior to preliminary plat approvals. 3. The downstream water quantity impacts associated with the entire development and ditch modifications should be researched in more detail. 4. If one has not been sent already, a copy of the EA W should be sent to Empire TO\\TIship. 5. The City and project proposer should coordinate closely with the Vermillion River Watershed Management Organization to ensure compliance with the watershed's stormwater management plan. 6. The preliminary plat does not provide any information about the wetlandldi'tch crossing and as such we cannot comment on the wetland impacts and proposed mitigation. More information is required before we can comment in more detail. 7. It is not evident that wetland avoidance and impact minimization has been pursued to the extent required under the Minnesota Wetland Conservation Act; full sequencing is required. 8. It is not clear how the developer will deal with the high groundwater tables in the area. Thank you for the opportunity to review the plat and schematic PUD. We look forward to working closely with the City and developer to resolve all of these issues. Call me if you have any questions or comments. .

Citl}. of FarminfJton 325 Oak Street. Farminl]ton} MN 55024 · (612) 463.7111 · Fax (612) ~63.2591 . . . Current Land Use: Agriculture Terrain: Terrain is mostly flat open space with little elevation change. Additional Comments: Independent School District 192 is seeking approval of a preliminary plat to locate a 163,747 square foot middle school on 23.92 acres ofland. The plat consists of two lots. Lot 1, Block 1 consists of 8.19 acres and will include two ball fields and a soccer field and Lot 1, Block 2 consists of 14.29 acres and will include the proposed middle school building. Right-of-way for 208th Street consists of 1.44 acres. The current zoning for the site is R-3 and has recently been approved for a conditional use permit to locate a school facility in an R-3 zone on February 10, 1998. The new school will serve grades 6 & 7 with the existing middle school housing grades 8 & 9 while the high school will serve grades 10 through 12. This rearrangement in classes will elevate space requirement needs in both the existing middle school and high school. The School District proposes to house 1,050 students at it's maximum capacity in Phase I of the proposed middle school. Upon future expansion of approximately 19,500 square feet, the school will house 1,350 students. Preliminary architectural plans show 24 typical classrooms, 6 science classrooms, 2 art classrooms, 2 home economic labs, 2 technical education labs, 3 music classrooms, 3 gymnasiums, a media center and a cafeteria along with administration offices. Circulation Vehicular circulation patterns include three entrances to the site. The northern-most entrance at 21 feet in width is proposed to be primarily for school bus and delivery vehicles moving one-way easterly. Delivery vehicles will unload at the receiving area. School buses will unload students at the east end of the building and will continue to the west to unload additional students at the south side of the existing middle school. (See additional Engineering comments concerning the northern-most entrance). The school bus drop-off area at the east end of the building will also function as additional parking for vehicles on weekends or after-school events. Additional striping will need to be shown on the plan for the layout of automobile parking. The remaining two entrances will provide for a student drop-off area at the west side of the building near the administration entrance. Parking for 128 vehicles and 5 handicap spaces will be located in this area. The parking provided on the site meets and exceeds the requirements of the City Code in Section 10-6-8. middle school have been seen crossing the tracks from residential locations to the east. It is in the best interest of public safety that the School District fence the site to their . property limits. The City will discuss future extension of the fence along City owned property as soon as possible. It is recommended that the ballfields located near Riverside Estates be relocated forty feet to the east to provide a sixty-five foot buffer between the ballfields and the residential area. It is also recommended that landscape plantings be shown along the western boundary of the site near Riverside Estates to buffer the ballfields from the residences to the west. Berms along with evergreen plantings and shade trees can provide an aesthetically pleasing buffer between the two uses. A tree protection plan for construction has been submitted and will provide the necessary protection of existing trees during construction. Sod will be located adjacent to the proposed building and will consist of Kentucky Bluegrass. Seeding will take place throughout the rest of the site including the athletic fields, infiltration areas and drainage basins. Vegetative covering of infiltration areas have been discussed in the attached Bonestroo memo by Erik Peters and further discussions concerning vegetation in these areas should be pursued with the School's landscape architect. The infiltration areas, drainage basins and wetland areas will provide unique opportunities for outdoor classrooms located directly on school grounds. Studies concerning the diversities of plant and animal environments on the site can provide invaluable educational opportunities. . Additional Required Information: 1. Revise Preliminary Plat title block to Farmington Middle School - 2nd Addition. 2. Provide surveyor registration number on plat. 3. Dedication of right-of-way to City is required to be shown on the preliminary plat. 4. Indicate type and widths of all existing and proposed public ways, railroad and utility rights of way, parks and other public open spaces on plat. 5. Identify by name and ownership all adjoining unsubdivided and subdivided land on plat. 6. Identify metes and bounds of lot lines on plat. 7. Identify striping for car parking in bus unloading area on site plan. 8. Locate 6 foot high chain link fence along east school property line per Police Department requirement. 9. Locate transplanted boulevard trees on right-of-way line of208th Street on landscape plan. 10. Provide common and botanical names, quantity, size and installation techniques on landscape plan.C . 11. A Conditional Use Permit will need to be obtained for the extraction and storage of . materials within the floodway district to meet City Code 10-10-4 (C) 2. Requested Action: Recommend approval of the Farmington Middle School- 2nd Addition Preliminary Plat contingent on Engineering and Planning comments and forward the preliminary plat to the City Council after resolution of staff comments has been achieved. . . TO: Lee Smick, Planning Coordinator . FROM: Lee M. Mann, P.E., Director of Public Works/City Engineer SUBJECT: Farmington Middle School Preliminary Plat Review DATE: March 5, 1998 The engineering division has completed the review of the plans submitted by Independent School District No. 192 for their proposed middle school. Following are comments regarding engineering Issues. General 1. The plans submitted for the plat are preliminary and further engineering review will be required when construction plans are submitted. The construction plans will need to be substantially complete before final plat approval. The following comments are based on the preliminary plans . and additional issues may be raised during construction plan review. 2. The plan sheets submitted are larger than the City would normally allow. The construction plans may stay at the current size, however the record plans will need to be no larger than 24" x 36". 3. The Developers agreement for the plat will need to be executed or a grading permit will need to be obtained before any site grading can commence. 4. It is recommended that the School District solicit input from the Railroad adjacent to the easterly property line of the site. 20Sth Street 1. The alignment of 208th Street needs to be revised on the plans to reflect the design provided by City staff and the correct alignment will need to be incorporated into the construction plans and the final plat documents. 2. In the future when 208th Street is built, the School District would be assessed for 100% of the costs for the project abutting their property in accordance with the City's Assessment Policy. 3. The street that is proposed to be constructed along the 208th Street alignment is shown at 24-feet . wide. The future 208th Street is designated to be 56-feet wide.

The street would need to be constructed to 10-ton design standards to meet the needs of the future street. If the School District decides to build the 24-foot wide street at this time, to standards less than 10-ton, it needs to be understood that when the future street is built the School District will be responsible for the costs associated with removing and replacing the 24-foot wide street. 4. 20Sth Street will need to be posted for No Parking. 5. The plans submitted show three access points to 20Sth Street. The two southerly accesses would be full access points providing ingress and egress from the site. The northerly access point is proposed to be a bus entrance only, one-way easterly. This design can work the way the plan is designed now, however, as 208th Street is shifted to the east to meet the design provided by City staff, it will be more desirable to combine the two northerly access points. Combining the access points will allow the pond in that area to be expanded to the north to make up for the area lost by moving 208th to the east. Combining the accesses would also eliminate one access point to 20gth and even though the ingress-only proposal addresses most of the concerns with having three access points, it would be more desirable to have a maximum of two accesses. 6. The Right-of-Way for 208th Street will need to be dedicated to the City on the Final Plat. Sanitary Sewer and Water 1. The conceptual layout of the sanitary sewer and water as shown on the plans is for the most part acceptable with some minor alignment changes. A more detailed review will be performed when construction plans are submitted. Plan and profiles will be required for the utility and street plans. 2. The water main proposed includes the installation of trunk water main. As per City policy, the City will be participating in the costs for the trunk water main. Grading and Drainage 1. All requirements set forth in the City's Surface Water Management Plan for developments and design will need to be met. There are issues with this site which will not allow for some of the requirements to be met with the conventional approaches, however there are alternative methods to achieve the desired results. 2. All flood plain mitigation and hydrauliclhydrologic calculations need to be submitted and will be reviewed with the construction plan submittal. 3. The site presents some design challenges with regards to drainage and water quality protection. Mr. Erik Peters of Bonestroo and Associates has reviewed the plans from a drainage and water quality standpoint. His memo to City staff is attached and the issues raised will need to be resolved as outlined in the memo. Management Plan. Respectfully submitted, ~m~ Lee M. Mann, P.E.

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 one school building, parking lot, and ball fields on 23.92 acres. The following report summarizes the proposed erosion controls and submits additional erosion and sediment control recommendations. . The District strongly the supports the use of "seepage areas" to minimize off-site stormwater runoff. The City of Farmington and Independent School District #192 should be commended for pursuing this environmentally sensitive and innovative approach to the extent practicable. Prior to final plat approval, we recommend the following erosion and sedimentation controls be incorporated into the grading plan: 1. Use the stormwater ponds and seepage areas as temporary sediment basins to hold site runoff during construction. Construct these ponds at the beginning of site grading. 2. Install silt fence at the grading limits along the northern property boundary and adjacent to the wetland located in the southeast comer of the parcel. Consider using heavy-duty silt fence adjacent to this wetland. 3. Grade the berm adjacent to the southeastern wetland area first, and stabilize this area immediately. 4. Limit construction access to one point and install a rock construction entrance at this location. 5. Install inlet sediment filters at all catch basins. 6. Show type of energy dissipation devices at all storm sewer outlets. Show how erosion will be minimized in locations where stormwater pond overflow will be discharging to open fields. 7. Show the location of the overflow for the seepage area in the northeast comer of the site and how erosion will be minimized at this location. 8. Include temporary and permanent seeding, mulching, and fertilization specifications on the plan. 9. Include details for all erosion controls on the plan. . 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 AN EQUAL OPPORTUNITY EMPLOYER Farmington Middle School Preliminary Plat 97FRl"1074 2 MPCA General Stormwater Permit at least two days prior to initiating construction.

Project Name: Farmington 6-7 Middle School Client: City of Farmington To: Lee Mann File No: 141-1061 From: Erik Peters Date: March 5, 1998 Re: Drainage review of plans (submitted on 2/2/98) and summary of meeting on 2/3/98 with the school board and A TS&R engineering staff regarding drainage issues. Remarks: The site to be developed poses some design challenges with regards to drainage and water quality protection. The first challenge is the existing on-site topsoil which is predominantly a lean clay. The runoff from clay soils is very high, especially in developed areas where the surface is graded to drain quickly and turf grass is the predominant vegetation. The high runoff from the site will result in larger than typical water quality ponds. . The second challenge is the high groundwater table (approximately 894'). To protect groundwater from direct inputs of surface water runoff, the bottom of the ponds are recommended to be at least 3' above the groundwater table. The pond bottom may be lowered a couple of feet if the bottom is sealed with an impervious liner. The limited depth of excavation allowable on this site affects the construction of water quality ponds. Unless a substantial amount of fill is brought onto the site, the wet storage volume and minimum average depth requirements for water quality ponds will not be able to be met. The design challenges posed by this site necessitate the investigation into alternative best management practices to improve runoff leaving the site and water quality protection for the Vermillion River and the adjacent wetlands. The River is a protected waterbody and the wetlands are some of the highest quality identified on the Wetland and Waterbody Classification Map in the Cities' Surface Water Management Plan (SWMP). The recommended alternative best management practices are the promotion of infiltration and vegetative buffers/filters. To help ensure the long term success of the alternative best management practices, the Farmington School District is encouraged to develop a vegetation management plan for the Farmington Middle School. The vegetation management plan is recommended to contain provisions limiting the use of fertilizers (phosphorus-free only), pesticides, and herbicides, and guidance on their application and storage. The site contains a significant amount of sandy soil underneath the clay topsoil. These sandy soils are suitable for use in the construction of infiltration basins for water quality purposes. The infiltration basins, if designed and constructed properly, hold the potential to meet and possibly surpass the benefits of typical wet detention ponds. To ensure the infiltration basin will function properly, the site must be kept clean of . on-site soils (specifically the lean clay topsoil) during the entire construction period.

To prevent degradation of the infiltration basin due to construction activities, it is recommended that the infiltration basin(s) be constructed after vegetation has been established on the site. If that cannot be accomplished over the whole site, at least the field areas where runoff will directly enter the infiltration basin should be established before construction of the infiltration basin. Otherwise, extensive erosion control measures will need to be taken to trap sediment before it enters the infiltration basin. To improve the aesthetics of the infiltration basins, wet meadow grasses and shrubs tolerant of wet conditions are recommended to be planted within the basins. Using a diversity of plant materials is recommended. Vegetative buffers and infiltration trenches are proposed to treat runoff flowing directly to the Vermillion River. The design of plant densities and type will be important so the vegetation will slow the rate of runoff, provide effective filtration and trapping of pollutants present in overland flow and encourage seepage of runoff into the underlying soils. Required maintenance will include periodic mowing and harvesting. Below are recommendations regarding drainage and runoff water quality improvements to guide the development of plans for the Farmington 6-7 Middle School. Drainage Between the Proposed School and 20Sth Street: Generally the two ponding basins east of 20Sth Street are envisioned to act as preliminary sedimentatio. ponds prior to draining into the wetland/infiltration basin west of 20Sth Street. The two ponding basins east of 20Sth Street are significantly undersized to meet the requirements for water quality protection by themselves. 1. Both ponding basins east of 20Sth street are recommended to be designed with an aquatic/safety bench at the outlet elevation or normal water level (NWL) with skimmer structures at the outlets of both ponds. The grading of a maintenance bench above the NWL as recommended in the SWMP may be unnecessary due to the easy access to the ponds from surrounding paved areas. Using a submerged outlet as a skimmer as currently proposed on the plans submitted is not recommended due to maintenance issues and plugging concerns due to sedimentation and ice. 2. Ponds with a bottom contour elevation within 3 feet of the assumed groundwater elevation of S94' should be sealed with clay (minimum 1 foot in depth) as is currently proposed. 3. The school district representative expressed a desire to design one pond as a dry pond. The bottom of the dry pond would be constructed with sandy soils to promote infiltration. The concept is to allow runoff to collect and pond without discharge for storms up to the 5 year event. This is an acceptable concept. However, sediment washed off the pavement surfaces and into the pond will likely seal the bottom of the pond in time. The pond will likely take on characteristics of a wet pond design unless periOdic maintenance is done to remove accumulated sediments and restore the transport capacity o.

Therefore, the pond outlet and downstream infiltration basin is recommended to be designed assuming the "dry pond" discharges for all storm events and little infiltration is taking place. 4. If the "dry pond" is designed as proposed in the current plans, it would be preferable to have the street drainage carried into the pond by storm sewer rather than overland flow down the slope of the pond. This would eliminate a potential erosion concern. 5. Storm sewer discharge into the proposed "dry pond" is recommended be designed with the ability to outfall at two elevations. The storm sewer should be designed to discharge at the bottom of the dry pond and at the invert elevation of the outlet of the dry pond. To prevent freezing of the storm sewer pipes discharging into the pond (assuming the pond bottom seals) the invert elevations should be at or above the outlet elevation of the "dry pond". Erosion control and energy dissipation measures will be required at the discharge point(s). 6. The discharge from the ponds will need to be designed with appropriate energy dissipation measures. The slower the discharge velocity exiting the ponds and the greater the flow is dissipated over a broad area after exiting the outlet culverts the better. Little rate control is intended to occur with the two ponds, so priority should be given to maximizing the wet storage volume of each pond, reducing discharge velocities, and promoting sheet flow after discharging from the outlet culverts. . Drainage Between the Ball Fields and 20Sth Street: The area around the wetland is recommended to become an infiltration basin into which a significant amount of school property will drain. Infiltration of runoff is the principal best management practice to improve the quality of runoff leaving the school property. 1. The native topsoil will need to be removed to expose the underlying sandy soils. Clean sand will need to brought from off-site or on-site as directed by the City Engineer to replace the excavated material up to the 897' contour elevation. 2. The minimum recommended storage volume within the infiltration basin is the runoff volume from the 5- year event (2.9 acre-feet based on grading plan reviewed). The storage volume provided will need to take into account the future extension of 208th Street and its encroachment toward the wetland. For rainfall events greater than the design storm event, an overflow structure should be constructed to discharge into an extension of the existing 42" storm sewer. 3. It is recommended that the surface area of the infiltration basin should be as large as feasible to provide a large area for infiltration and slow the rate at which the basin will begin to see a reduction in infiltration capacity. .

The fields adjacent to the infiltration basin should be raised 2' to 3' higher in order to lessen the exten and frequency of inundation by runoff into the infiltration basin. Raising the fields may introduce drainage issues with the properties adjacent to the proposed fields that will need resolution. Vermillion River Floodplain and Water Quality Improvements for Runoff: After reviewing the submitted plans and considering water quality issues, the proposal to create a small ponding basin within the floodplain is not recommended. The pond would not be large enough to meet the protection requirements required for the Vermillion River and its wetlands. Instead it is recommended that vegetative buffers and infiltration trenches be used to improve the quality of runoff leaving the site. The result would be that the entire area between the bus road and the wetlands associated with the Vermillion River are recommended to become one large vegetative buffer area. The use of this area for overland water quality improvement of runoff prior to inflow into the Vermillion River could meet the requirements of the SWMP. The area could also become a natural science area for the schools 1. It is recommended the grading plan include the future bus corral planned for the south side of the school. This will assist in the proper design and placement of the proposed vegetative buffers and infiltration trenches so they will be effective now and in the future. The grading of the floodplain is recommended to be changed to look more natural with some undulation. As currently designed, it looks unnaturally uniform. The grading plan should show compensation for fill within the floodPlain. the school building and the future bus corral. 2. The proposed berm and outlet along the southern edge of the property would no be longer necessary. 3. A variety of plant types will need to be planted beginning with wetland vegetation in the lower elevations and native prairie grasses along the edge of the road. The type of native vegetation selected and their placement on the site will need to match their preferred environment. The slope of the site and resulting changes in the local environment will result in some differentiation in vegetation types. 4. Multiple vegetative infiltration trenches are recommended to be constructed along and parallel to the bus road. The intent of the trenches is to slow the rate of runoff, promote sheet flow rather than concentrated flow of runoff, encourage infiltration of runoff into the soil and filtration through the use of vegetation (grasses). The trenches are recommended to be constructed using earthen berms, approximately l' in height. The top of the earth berms should be fairly level to promote dispersion of flow over the berms. To further the promotion of infiltration, the bottoms of the trenches may be lined with pervious soils/gravel under a thin layer of topsoil. Further recommendations to their design can be provided. 5. The storm sewer carrying runoff from the roof is recommended to discharge into the first vegetative filtration trench farthest from the river. The outlet should be constructed to direct flow along the filtratio. Bonestroo, Rosene, Anderlik and Associates, Inc. Page 4 of5 st. Paul Office: 2335 West Highway 36 51.

Energy dissipation at the outlet will likely be necessary. Northwest Corner Pond/Seepage Area: As proposed, the pond basin may be designed to function as an infiltration basin for water quality purposes. The clay topsoil within the basin will be removed and replaced with clean sand up to the 897' contour. However, because runoff into the pond will not have gone through a sedimentation basin, the pond bottom may seal and lose its infiltration capacity over time. How long it will take for the pond bottom to seal is unknown. The behavior of this pond should be observed over time and it may provide useful data that could be used in future pond design in the City. 1. The 1 DO-year peak discharge from the pond is recommended to be restricted to match existing conditions or the capacity of the downstream ditch whichever is more restrictive. . 2. Assuming the pond will be designed as an infiltration basin, the required storage volume below the outlet elevation is the runoff from a 5-year storm event (1 acre-foot). To maintain the existing discharge to existing conditions (approximately 5 cfs) the recommended outlet is a drop inlet structure (elevation 899') with a 12" culvert (invert at 898') exiting the structure. Assuming the bottom of the pond is no longer infiltrating and the starting water surface is at 899', the 1 DO-year HWL will be approximately 900' with a peak discharge of 5 cfs. It is assumed that there is an additional 0.9 acre-feet of storage between the 899' and 900' contours in estimating the HWL elevation. The peak discharge is a somewhat high, however, since the pond should, for the most, part function as designed, there won't be many occurrences where the outlet is used. 3. The ponding basin could be designed as a wet pond. Using the PONDNET model, the wet storage volume required to meet water quality criteria is 1.3 acre-feet. The drawback to this option is that the minimum average depth criterion of 3' - 4' depending on the pond size is not likely to be met. The purpose of the minimum average depth requirement is to avoid the re-suspension of sediment from the pond bottom due to inflow into the pond. An infiltration basin would provide better treatment of runoff water, assuming the basin works as designed. The benefit to this option is slightly better rate control (estimated peak discharge of 3 cfs). An aquatic/safety bench and outlet skimmer structure will need to be provided should the pond be designed as a wet pond. This pond could be designed using either method described above. However, it would be of interest to construct the pond as an infiltration basin and observe the behavior of the pond over time. The use of infiltration ponds may become more prevalent within the City, especially along the designated trout streams. This appears to be a good location for an infiltration pond and it could provide useful data for future designs in the City. . Bonestroo, Rosene, Anderlik and Associates, Inc. Page 5 of 5 st.

TO: FROM: Farmington Planning Commission Michael Schultz ,^' [) City Planning Division 1)X DATE: March 10, 1998 RE: Residential Development Signs INTRODUCTION City Staff has reviewed several of the promotional project signs in each of the respective residential developments along the Pilot Knob Road corridor and has determined that several of the signs do not comply with the sign ordinance. DISCUSSION . Staff reviewed the following developments and their promotional signs to determine if they were in compliance with Section 4-3-1: Signs; Billboards of the City Code. The developments included; Nelson Hills Farm, Troy Hills and Pine Ridge Forest. Listed below are the number of signs found per development and which were determined to not to be in compliance v.;ith the City Sign Ordinance. A) Nelson Hills Farm: 1. Promotion of Development Project Sign; location: S W comer of Pilot Knob Rd. and Euclid Path intersection; sign size: 81/:' X 81/:' (72.25 sq. ft.); property o\\ner(s): Heritage Development Company. 2. Promotion of Development Project Sign; location: 1\W comer of Pilot Knob Rd. and 190ths St. W. intersection; sign size: 81:' x 8V:' (72.25 sq. ft.); property o\\ner(s): Heritage Development Company.

Off-premises Directional 1 Promotion of Development Project sign; location: NE corner of Pilot Knob Rd. and 190th St. W.; sign size: 8' x 8' (64' sq. ft.); property owner(s): Tim Giles. 2. Off-premises Directional sign (portable sandwich board type); location: NE comer of 190th St. W. and Euclid Path; sign size: approximately 2' X 3' (6 sq. ft.) (two sided); property owner(s): appears to be either in ROW or on Frontier Communications property. Comments: Both signs are considered to not be in compliance. ACTION TO BE TAKEN City Staff suggests a letter be sent to the respective developers with signs that currently are not in compliance. The letter \vill state that the signs will need to be brought within compliance of the City Code within 30 days. This may require relocating the sign and/or obtaining a conditional use permit in accordance \\ith Section 4-3-2 (A) 12. Off-Premises Directional Sign. Off-Premises Directional signs are allowed for residential developments which in the determination of the Planning Commission incurs a hardship for lack of unreasonable identification (see attached sign ordinance). . Because the ordinance was not enforced concerning residential developments; it is suggestion of staff that each new subdivision development seek a sign permit in order to track the size and location of the proposed signs at the time of development is approved.

'::=6'1088 TO: Farmington Planning Commission FROM: Michael Schultz DATE: March 10, 1998 RE: Reisinger Property INTRODUCTION Gil Anderson of Edina Realty and a perspective buyer are proposing to purchase the Bongard Trucking/Coach Express property at 20522 Akin Rd. They are proposing to change the land use from a trucking facility to private and public vehicle storage and possibly a small manufacturing/fabricating type shop. . DISCUSSION The buyer initially proposed a "tap and die" type facility in the front portion of the building which would include lathes, drill presses, milling machine and surface grinder. The shop would consist of2 (possibly more) employees. The buyer has since stated that if that would not be allowed that he would like to use the property for personal storage of his own vehicles in which he does repair work. The back portion would then be leased out to residents with RV's, trailers, boats, vehicles, etc. The buyer is willing to landscape the property as well as placing fencing in both the front and the portion behind the building. There is some confusion on when exactly the property was allowed a conditional use permit for equipment and maintenance storage. The permit must have been issued before a fire had damaged the building back in 1992. This is based on a note written sometime in April of 1993 by former City Planner Tooker to Building Inspector Manke informing that because Mr. Bongard is "replacing an approved conditional use he is not required to produce a landscape pIan". After the fire Mr. Bongard proposed on expanding the use of the property. David Harmeyer, the then City Attorney, stated that a new conditional use must be applied for if the use were to be expanded from the permit of the equipment and maintenance storage for trucking equipment. The Planning Commission originally requested that if expansion were to be done that the parking area must be paved and additional landscaping be added. It was felt that the paving surface would negatively effect the adjoining wetlands. Mr. Bongard was denied expanding his conditional use permit on the basis of protecting the existing natural environment adjoining the property, the long range need to protect area wetlands and the lack of an acceptable development plan. CONCLUSSION Mr. Anderson and the prospective buyer would like to know if the existing conditional use permit would be extended into the newly proposed uses. It is staff's opinion that the storage of both personal and rented space ofRV's and vehicles would meet the intent of the original conditional use (though new conditions should be attached to avoid "junk" vehicle storage). Also, if the use is to be expanded into a fabrication shop or any other use that was not initially intended a new conditional use would be necessary by the property owner. .

Rd. 72 and southeast of the Wausau Property (NE1f4 ofNW1f4 of Section 32, Township 114 North, Range 19 West, City of Farmington) Size of Property: 18.11 Acres Proposed Rezoning: R-3 (High-density residential) - 18.11 acres (see zoning district definitions in attachments) Existing Zoning: A-I (Agriculture) Comprehensive Plan: A-I (Agriculture) Comprehensive Plan has not been amended since annexation of property.

Area Bounded By: Single-family residential is located to the southwest as well as future East Farmington 4th across County Road 72. The Wausau Co. is located to the northwest and the City's Prairie Water Way is located to the north and east. Current Land Use: Undeveloped Open Space. Terrain: Terrain is mostly flat open space with little elevation change. Permitted and Conditional Uses Under Rezoning: See attached Section 10-3-2 of Zoning Code Zoning Definitions: R - 3: High Density Residential District is designated to provide areas of the City which will allow multiple dwellings in areas close to business and services, public facilities and good transportation. The location of these areas generally follows the recommendations made in the Comprehensive Plan. . Additional Comments: The property was annexed into the City by Laura Adelmann on January 5, 1998. The proposal to rezone this property comes at the heels of the Giles property approval to rezone to R-3. This property will eventually be providing a second ingress/egress out of the Glenview Townhomes (Giles Property). The Adelmann property rezone to high- density residential would serve a continuation in the zoning and land uses in this section ofthe City. The additional R-3 zoning would also meet the City's Livable Communities Agreement with the Metropolitan Council to add more life cycle and affordable housing to the City's housing stock. A total of29 acres of high-density residential land would be added (the combination of the Adelmann and Giles properties) to the City's land totals which must meet 33% of buildable land set-aside for affordable housing. The designation will bring additional traffic to both Trunk Highway 3 and County Road 72. Using the formula of 10 vehicles per unit / per day; it is estimated that there will be 2,000 vehicles accessing the two main roads mentioned above. The City Engineering Department and the Minnesota Department of Transportation are addressing this problem. . . . . The property is not designated in the MUSA area at this time, however, staff is working with the Metropolitan Council to use land swapping as a means to secure MUSA to the site.

Churches TO: Mayor, Councilmembers, City Administrator FROM: Lee Smick, Planning Coordinator SUBJECT: Glenview Townhomes Preliminary Plat DATE: March 2, 1998 INTRODUCTION Glenview Townhomes is located to the south ofWausau Supply Company on the frontage road of Trunk Highway 3 and contains 11.88 acres. DISCUSSION The proposed plat consists of an 89 unit townhome complex on 9.7 acres ofland along with a 2.17 acre commercial area located on the west end of the site. The residential area is R-3 high Density - Residential and proposes a density of9.17 units/acre which falls below the current requirement of 14 units/acre in an R-3 zone. The Planning Commission reviewed the preliminary plat at the February 24th meeting and approved the plat on the following contingencies: 1. The turn-around areas (hammerheads) at the south end of the site should be furthered studied to allow for a 100p connection to improve vehicle circulation in this location. 2. Approval of MUS A on the site by either land swapping or a boundary reconfiguration of the MUSA. 3. An agreement between the City's Engineering Division and MNDOT concerning access issues onto the State owned Trunk Highway 3 frontage road. 4. Approval by the City's Engineering Division concerning review comments dated February 20, 1998. 5. Approval by the City's Planning Division concerning landscape and buffer issues on the site. At the Planning Commission meeting, City staff recommended that the Glenview Townhomes Preliminary Plat be continued to the March 10th Planning Commission meeting in order to resolve the above issues before sending it to the City Council. Two major issues which City staff recommends to be further researched concern the approval of MUSA by the Metropolitan Council to the site and access issues on the frontage road which need to be resolved between the Engineering Division and MNDOT. MUSA Approval . City staff is working with the Metropolitan Council to secure MUSA to the site through either land swapping of compatible land within the City or reconfiguring the MUSA boundary in this location. These processes CitlJ. of FarminfJton 325 Oak Street · Farminl]tonl MN 55024 · (612) 463-7111 · Fax (612) 463-2591 . . . can be approved at the Metropolitan Council staff level and do not have to be approved through by the full Council. City staff recommended to the Planning Commission that the preliminary plat be delayed to allow for further discussions with the Metropolitan Council's stafffor redesignation of the MUSA to the site. Since no construction is allowed outside of the MUSA line, City staff concurred that a delay to the preliminary plat process for this project would pose no hardships to the developer. Consistency to this process has been expressed by the developer concerning the allowance of preliminary platting for Charleswood without MUSA secured to this site. As the City Council is aware, this preliminary plat is part of the MUSA Expansion application which was recently submitted to the Metropolitan Council for approval and has received initial approval by the subcommittee at the February 17th meeting. Final MUSA approval to this site will hopefully occur on February 26th at a meeting of the full Metropolitan Council review. Since this project was designated for MUSA expansion in November of 1996, City staff recommended approval of the Charleswood Preliminary Plat - 1st Phase. The Glenview Townhome site has recently been petitioned for annexation into the City on September 15, 1997 and was not proposed to be developed until 2010. Therefore, City staff concurs that MUSA should be secured to this site before the preliminary plat is approved. MNDOT Approval The second issue concerns the question of access from the site onto the frontage road owned by the State. MNDOT is currently reviewing three access options to the frontage road submitted by the City Engineer. These options may all have adverse impacts to the site and must be reviewed thoroughly to determine which access would be approved by both the City and MNDOT. Therefore, City staff continues to recommend that the preliminary plat be delayed in order to resolve the access issues on the frontage road. Additional issues, such as vehicular circulation, landscape and buffering recommendations and compliance with Engineering comments need to be addressed as well. Because of the amount of work which still needs to take place through the review process and by the developer's engineer, City staff is recommending to the City Council that the preliminary plat be continued. The Planning Commission voted 3-2 to approve the preliminary plat contingent on the previously stated contingencies. It should be noted that staff recommended to continue the preliminary plat due to the contingencies associated with MUSA and outside agency review by MNDOT. By continuing the preliminary plat, if significant changes were requested by MNDOT, the preliminary plat could be revised without starting the entire public hearing process all over again. Secondly, the City has reached no formal agreement with the Metropolitan Council on MUSA, and consequently, this approval is also lacking at this time. ACTION REQUESTED Recommend that this request for Preliminary Plat approval be continued to the April 6th City Council meeting. This should allow adequate time for the above stated issues to be resolved. Respectfully submitted, ~fi /,7 ~ (/7 /-Q -=-~~.

Comprehensive Plan: Low Density Residential Proposed Zoning Change: R-l PUD Surrounding Land Uses: The site is bounded by single-family development to the west and on the north, east and south by undeveloped cropland, wetland and woodland. The undeveloped property on all sides is likely to develop within the next several years. Current Land Use: Agriculture Terrain: Topography on the site is quite flat, with elevations ranging from 920 in the northwest part of the site, to about 904 in the ditch bottom in the southeast part of the site. The site drains southeast toward North Creek, which in turn drains about one and a half miles south to the Vermillion River. Project Description: The Prairie Creek East development is a multi-phased single-family housing project proposed for construction in northeastern Farmington. The development includes approximately 415 single-family residential lots, 18.4 acres of wetland, 3.3 acres of stormwater ponding, and 3.0 acres of municipal parks and trails. Most of the site is currently used for production of agricultural rowcrops and vegetable crops. An excavated drainage ditch flows southeast through the site. The ditch flows from DNR protected Lake Julia, located upstream of the site, to North Creek, which is located about 1,000 feet east of the site. Drainage from the site flows south and east about 2,300 feet before reaching the confluence with North Creek. Additional Comments: The schematic plan proposes 415 single family residential lots and which will be constructed in seven phases. The street system shows two access points from the west . connecting with l87th Street and Eaglewood Trail in the Prairie Creek 4th Addition. Two connections to the north are proposed along with one access to the south of the property. The plan proposes approximately seven ponding areas throughout the site along with a drainage ditch running from the northeast corner of the property to the south-central boundary of the property. A proposed recreational trail will run the length of the drainage ditch. The following information is required to be submitted to allow for a complete review of the Schematic Plan: 1. Plan data must be shown stating number oflots, density, acreages, etc. 2. Road widths should be shown on the plan. 3. Additional information is required by the Engineering Department (see comments ). 4. Phasing of the project needs to be reviewed to ensure that no long dead end streets will be constructed due to inadequate phasing of the project. 5. Comments by reviewing agencies need to be recievied in order to generate a thorough review. . In addition to the above comments, an Environmental Assessment Worksheet (EA W) was required for this property to comply with the Environmental Quality Board's requirements concerning the number of lots proposed in a development. The EQB specifies that an EA W is required when more than 250 single-family lots are proposed in a project. The Prairie Creek East project proposes 415 single family lots. In the EA W review process, the City of Farmington is the Responsible Governmental Unit (RGU) for the project and is legally responsible for the accuracy and completeness of the information contained in the EA W. The RGU has 30 days from the time the proposer submits the EA W to determine if the EA W is accurate and complete. During this time, the RGU may request additional information be provided, or that the proposer make changes to the EA W. The RGU must establish that it has independently verified information in the EA W to be accurate and complete. While the proposer provides information for the EA W, the EA W is ultimately the RGU's document. Once the 30 day period is completed, the RGU must respond to all comments and make a decision of no significant impact or EIS need decision. . Bonestroo, Rosene, Anderlik & Associates is assisting the City in determining if all information in the EA W is accurate and complete. The City received the EA W on February 9, 1998. At this time, the City is eleven days into the review process for insuring accuracy and completeness of the EA W. Therefore, City staff is recommending that the schematic plan not be held up concerning the review of the EA W, but a thorough review of the EA W must be completed before any preliminary plat is submitted to the . . . City. Requested Action: City staff is recommending that the Prairie Creek East Schematic Plan be continued to the March 10th Planning Commission meeting in order to receive additional information required by the City in the schematic plan review process. TO: Lee Smick, Planning Coordinator FROM: Lee M. Mann, P.E., Director of Public Works/City Engineer SUBJECT: Prairie Creek East Schematic Plan Review. DATE: February 20, 1998 Engineering staff has reviewed the Schematic Plan submitted for Prairie Creek East and forward the following comments: Schematic Plan I. If approved, the approval of the Schematic Plan will need to be contingent on the results of the EAW. 2. The flood plain needs to be established per Erik Peters memo dated 9/16/97 which includes review and approval by the appropriate agencies. The creek that runs through the site needs to be re-graded and includes work that needs to be done in Empire Township. This issue should be brought forward and addressed as quickly as possible. 3. All City streets need to meet 30 mph horizontal and vertical design standards. 4. Show adjacent streets, lot lines and property boundaries. 5. The 16" trunk Water main will need to be continued northerly through the site. 6. The Fire Marshall and Police Chief will need to review and approve the phasing. The second phase will create a long dead end until the third phase is built. 7. Any comments from other agencies will need to be addressed. 8. Street connection points to adjacent properties my need to be moved based on further study of adjacent properties. Utility Plans The plans submitted are preliminary.

Approval of the schematic plan does not constitute approval of the utility layout and design. The following are general comments based on the plans submitted. 1. All requirements set forth in the Surface Water Management Plan (September 1997) for developments and design will need to be met. 2. Catch basin spacing shall not exceed 400-feet on any road or swale and water shall be picked up before it enters an intersection. Catch basins need to be added at the end of all stub streets to control erosion and protect the road from washouts where applicable. 3. The number of Storm Sewer lines that run down property lines through yards needs to be minimized. Route the lines in the street where possible. Flared sections are not allowed in backyards, use catch basins. 4. Pond location and sizing will be reviewed when calculations are submitted. Respectfully submitted, ~~~ Lee M. Mann, P.E.

We are unable to complete a thorough review of the preliminary plat and assume a grading and erosion control plan will be forwarded to our office as soon as it is available. Further, we are in the process of reviewing the project's EA Wand will submit additional comments prior to the closing of the 30-day public comment period. The District submits the following preliminary comments regarding the Schematic PUD and preliminary plat (Prairie Creek East 1 sl Addition, referred to as Prairie Creek 5th Addition): 1. The EA W review and EIS determination should be completed prior to preliminary plat approval. 2. The floodplain location/elevation issue should be resolved prior to preliminary plat approvals. 3. The downstream water quantity impacts associated with the entire development and ditch modifications should be researched in more detail. 4. If one has not been sent already, a copy ofthe EA W should be sent to Empire Township. 5. The City and project proposer should coordinate closely with the Vermillion River Watershed Management Organization to ensure compliance with the watershed's stonnwater management plan. 6. The preliminary plat does not provide any infonnation about the wetland/ditch crossing and as such we cannot comment on the wetland impacts and proposed mitigation. More information is required before we can comment in more detail. 7. It is not evident that wetland avoidance and impact minimization has been pursued to the extent required under the Minnesota Wetland Conservation Act; full sequencing is required. 8. It is not clear how the developer will deal with the high groundwater tables in the area. Thank you for the opportunity to review the plat and schematic PUD.

Zti, Urban Conservationist AN EQUAL OPPORTUNITY EMPLOYER ~ Metropolitan Council ~ Working for the Region, Planning for the Future . . . Environmental Services February 18, 1998 Mr. Michael Schultz City Planning Division City of Farmington 325 Oak Street Farmington,~ 55024 Re: Prairie Creek East, Fifth Addition Review Comments on Preliminary Plat Approval Dear Mr. Schultz: The Metropolitan Council has received, and reviewed the plan that was attached with your letter dated February 10, 1998 related to the above referenced PUD schematic. Your letter requested any comments that we may have on the proposed schematic plan. Located within the South-East corner of the proposed plat is an existing Metropolitan Council Environmental Services (MCES) sanitary sewer metering vault. This vault structure was installed as part of the Prairie Creek 4th Addition improvements and its design and installation was coordinated between the City of Farmington, Progress Land Company and the MCES. It is our understanding that at the time that the vault was constructed a preliminary lot layout for the area adjacent to the vault had been developed. The vault was designed based on this layout. I have enclosed a copy of a portion of this layout in the area of the vault for your information. The vault was to be located in a green area behind a residential lot that would have access provided to it by a paved trail adequate to accommodate a maintenance vehicle. Coordination and provisions for this trail were to be provided for by the City of Farmington (see letter to City dated September 20, 1996). From review of the new schematic layout as attached to your February 10 letter, it appears that the vault will now be located within a street. The original vault design assumed that it would be located within a green space with no traffic loading. Hence the access hatch for the structure was not designed to accommodate vehicular traffic loading. The access hatch is also sized accordingly to facilitate the installation of a parshall flume in the future. If the access hatch is replaced with one that can accommodate traffic loading, and the street improvements are completed in the area of the vault prior to the installation of the flume, it may be necessary to tear up the street to gain access to the vault so that a parshall flume can be added. Other issues related to the placement of the vault within a street would include the final grade of the street. The elevation of the access to the vault is currently three feet above the surrounding grades. This elevation was established based on proposed grades in what was once to be a back 230 East Fifth Street S1. Paul. Minnesota 55101-1633 (612) 222-8423 Fax 229-2183 TDD/TIT 229-3760 An Equal Opportunity Employer . Mr. Michael Schultz February 18, 1998 Page 2 of3 yard area. If the now proposed street grade is to be different than what was originally proposed in this area it may be necessary to adjust the structure access. The other issue we have relates to where the vault will be located and the routine frequency of MCES site visits to the facility. MCES Operations personnel visit metropolitan metering facilities at a minimum of once a week. Because it appears that the vault access will be located in the centerline of the proposed street, we would request that provisions be made for some type of off-street side access. This may include the installation of an underground cattle-pass type facility that would connect the vault to another structure located next to the street. This would enable MCES staff to park .their maintenance vehicle next to the curb and gain access to the vault. Otherwise it may be necessary to park the maintenance vehicle in the center of the street making it nearly impossible for traffic to get around it. To address the above issues regarding the changes in the design and access to the meter vault the MCES will program and make the required improvements to the facility so that it can function in its new surroundings. This will necessitate the coordination of the site development activities with the meter vault/station improvement activities. . MCES metering facilities also have associated with them an instrumentation panel which is located adjacent to the metering vault. These panels stand approximately 6 feet above ground level and consist of a 3 foot by 4 foot metal cabinet. They are usually painted green in color and are not the easiest item to conceal in the surrounding landscape. With the original vault located in the rear yard area their significance wasn't that great. However, now with the new location within the street, it may be necessary to locate this cabinet within a front yard or possibly a side- yard area. The vault is actually located just outside of the proposed platted lot area of the development. So the location of the panel will become more of an issue when the area East of the current development becomes platted. We will also require some type of easement in the area of the instrumentation panel and side access structure. This easement may have to cover an area outside the street right-of-way since the panel and side access structure will need to be far enough from the street curb so that snow plowing operations don't block passage or access to either facility. We recommend that as soon as a construction schedule has been established for this development, we be contacted so that coordination efforts can begin on our end to initiate our facility improvement program for the reconstruction of the metering facility. We suggest that if the development is approved as it is represented in the current schematic layout, the City and MCES meet to discuss the issues we have in the meter vault location as outlined above. . . . . Mr. Michael Schultz February 18, 1998 Page 3 of3 Since the original design of the vault was coordinated with the City and the Developer, and the new plan represents a change in the design conditions for the vault, it would be our position that any additional costs associated with revising the vault's design and subsequent reconstruction of the vault to address the issues outlined above would be borne by the City. If you have any questions regarding our review of the subject schematic PUD review or issues related to costs associated with the change in the vaults design, or if you wish to schedule a meeting, please don't hesitate to call me at 602-1116.

Jay Riggs, Dakota Co. Soil & Water Attachments: I. Glenview Preliminary Plat 2. Glenview Grading Plan 3. Location Map 4. (Reference Zoning Map) 5. (Reference Comprehensive Plan) Location of Property: East of Trunk Hwy. 3 and north of Co. Rd. 72 and south of the Wausau Property (SY2 of the Nl/4 of the NWl/4 of Section 32, Township 114 N, Range 19 W) Size of Property: 11.88 acres Number of Units / Density: 89/9.17 UA (units per acre) Existing Zoning: B-1 (Limited Business) R-3 (High-Density Residential) CitlJ of FarminfJton 325 Oak Street · Farminl]ton} MN 55024 · (612) 1163-7111 · Fax (612) 1163-2591 Comprehensive Plan: B-1 (Limited Business) R-3 (High-Density Residential) Surrounding Land Uses: The site is bounded by single-family development to the south (facing away from proposed development), commercial warehousing to the north, undeveloped open space to the east (currently proposed rezoning to R-3). Across Trunk Hwy. 3 are single-family residents. Current Land Use: Undeveloped Open Space Terrain: Topography on the site is quite flat with little or no elevation change Project Description: Glenview Townhomes is a proposed 89-unit private townhome development located on the east side of the City. The developer is not proposing to phase the development at this time. The commercial area on the west will be either sold and/or developed by Mr. Giles. ~ ia,.. ...; Additional Comments: Glenview Townhomes is proposing an 89-unit private development along with a proposed commercial area on 11.88 acres. The proposed commercial area consists of 2.18 acres and is zoned B-1 and the proposed residential area consists of9.7 acres and is zoned R-3 with a density of9.7 units/acre which falls below the current requirement of 14 units/acre in an R-3. The proposed commercial area is located at the west end of the property along the frontage road of Trunk Highway 3. Review of the plan by MNDOT is currently underway and no response has been received by the City concerning the frontage road. The review time for MNDOT is typically between 45 and 60 days and the plan was submitted to MNDOT during the week of February 9th. Further research and information gathering needs to be addressed by both the City and MNDOT in order to adequately review the proposed site plan. Townhomes are proposed to be located on the remaining acreage of the property and will consist of multi-level, split entry walkouts and slab on grade. A large portion of the multi-level units will be located along the southern border of the property. The split entry units will be located in the north-central portion of the site and along the east side of the .. . . . . proposed commercial area and the slab on grade units will be located at the northeast corner of the site. There will be a total of 55 multi-level units, 22 split entry units and 12 slab on grade units. Private streets are proposed for the development and are measured at 24 feet in width and are required to be constructed with curb and gutter. The primary access to the property is located at the west end and will access the frontage road of Trunk Highway 3. Street connections to the east have been determined with the adjacent developer ofWexford Square and will allow for additional accesses to the Glenview property. The offsite street accesses will connect with Twelfth Street in the Wexford Square development and Twelfth Street will connect with 213th Street to the south of both developments. Turn- around areas (hammerheads) are shown in two locations on the property to allow for turn- around movements for emergency vehicles. The private streets will be maintained by a homeowners association. Parking for the townhomes consist of a one stall garage and a space in front of the garage. This meets the parking requirements in the City Code for two parking space per townhome. Twenty-seven additional spaces have been shown throughout the site to meet the needs of visitors. The planning staff recommends that the spaces parallel to the street be configured at a 90 degree angle because circulation problems could occur due to the width of the private street. . Two ponding areas are shown on the plan and will be addressed in the Engineering review comments. However, the ponds may provide an excellent opportunity for a passive recreational space by utilizing landscape plantings. Two tot lots have been shown on the site and will be maintained by a homeowners association. Landscaping on the site needs to be more detailed as to the variety and size of the species proposed. It is recommended that earth berms along with additional plantings be utilized along the northern and southern property boundaries to provide adequate screening of adjacent properties. The property is not designated in the MUSA area at this time, however, staff is working with the Metropolitan Council to use land swapping as a means to secure the MUSA to the site. Since the MUSA is not approved for this property, City staff is recommending that the preliminary plat be delayed to allow for redesignation of the MUSA at this location before the plat is approved and resolve MNDOT transportation issues. Additional information is required on the preliminary plat in order to comply with submission polices and they include the following: . 1. 2. Plat showing metes and bounds of the property and individual lots. A detailed landscape plan showing variety and size of plantings along with a detailed plan for recommended earth berms. Resolution of the frontage road issue with MNDOT. 3. 4. Resolution of the MUSA issue. . Requested Action: City staff recommends that the Glenview Townhome Preliminary Plat be continued to the March 10, 1998 Planning Commission meeting in order to resolve the aforementioned Issues. J.;.:' 1:. . .""; iiIc . TO: Lee Smick, Planning Coordinator FROM: Lee M. Mann, P.E., Director of Public Works/City Engineer SUBJECT: Review of Preliminary Plat for Glenview Townhomes DATE: February 20, 1998 Engineering Staff has reviewed the preliminary plat submittal for Glenview Townhomes and forwards the following comments: Preliminary Plat 1. Currently, this area is not sho\\TI to be in the MUSA expansion. It is understood that MUSA is being pursued for this site, however it is recommended that this issue be resolved before the preliminary plat is approved. 2. There are significant access issues in relation to Trunk Highway 3 and the frontage road. It is recommended that these issues be resolved with MnDOT before preliminary plat approval is granted. Two of the options that MnDot is reviewing could significantly affect the plat. 3. Include the City project number, approval signature block and dimensioning of boundary, street, right-of-way, building and setbacks on the preliminary plat drawing. 4. Trunk watermain will need to be installed along the easterly boundary of the site. This issue will need to be coordinated with the adjacent property owner to the east. The location of the water main could affect the most easterly units on this plat. 5. The limits of the sanitary sewer easement on the east side of the property needs to be shown. 6. The Fire Marshall will need to approve the hammerheads on the plat. 7. Any comments from other agencies will need to be addressed. Preliminary Grading, Drainage and Utility Plans The plans submitted for the plat are preliminary and a detailed engineering review will be performed when construction plans are submitted. Refer to the City of Farmington Submittal Checklist for Subdivisions when submitting construction plans. Review of construction plans cannot commence without a complete submittal. The construction plans will need to be substantially complete before Citl}. of FarminfJton 325 Oak Street. Farminl]ton} MN 55024 · (612) 463-7111 · Fax (612) 463-2591 final plat approval. The following comments are based on the preliminary plans and other issues . may be raised during construction plan review. 1. Include City project number, approval signature block, benchmark, lot lines for adjacent properties, and existing contours 200-feet beyond property lines on the plan. 2. Show all proposed contours. The current drawing only shows contours in the areas of the proposed ponds. Proposed contours for the entire site are required. 3. All requirements set forth in the Surface Water Management Plan for developments and design will need to be met. 4. The plan shows the ponding for the site being accomplished on-site. The opportunity exists to expand the existing Wausau pond and provide more open space and possibly more parking on this project. 5. Ponding and pipe sizing calculations will be reviewed when the full submittal is received with the construction plans. 6. Catch basin spacing shall not exceed 400-feet on any road or swale and water shall be picked up before it enters an intersection. Catch basins need to be added at the end of all stub streets to control erosion and protect the road from washouts where applicable. 7. A swale running to the existing pond will not be allowed. . .ltih ~ 8. Provide information about future streets and grading on the property to the east. 9. An erosion control plan will be required with the next submittal. 10. It should be noted that the City is currently in the process of updating the Standard Detail Plates and the updated plates will need to be incorporated in the construction plans. Respectfully submitted, 11. More information on the sanitary sewer connection to the interceptor needs to be submitted. The connection as shown does not appear to be ideal. fl1 0 tuJ 17iZV1 f' /rY1 . . V1\?~ ~Yh~ Lee M. Mann, P.E. Director of Public Works/City Engineer cc: file . . DAKOTA COUNTY SOIL AND WATER CONSERVATION DISTRICT Dakota County Extension and Conservation Center 4100 220th Street West, Suite 102 Farmington, MN 55024 Phone: (612) 891-7777 FAX: (612) 891 -7775 February 19, 1998 Mr. Michael Schultz City Planning Division 325 Oak Street Farmington, MN 55024 Ref.: 98-FRM-015 RE: REVIEW OF THE PRELIMINARY PLAT FOR THE GLENVIEW RESIDENTIAL AND COMMERCIAL DEVELOPMENT LOCATED IN SECTION 32, TOWNSHIP 114N, RANGE 19W. Dear Mike: The Dakota County Soil and Water Conservation District (District) has reviewed the Preliminary Grading and Erosion Control Plan for the above-mentioned site. This project entails 89 multi-family units (16 buildings) and a proposed commercial lot on 11.88 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. Two stormwater ponds. We have the following comments and recommendations regarding erosion and sedimentation control: 1. Limit construction access to one point and install a rock construction entrance at this location. 2. Minimize disturbance to adjacent properties by installing a perimeter silt fence. 3. Install inlet sediment filters at all catch basins. 4. Use the stormwater ponds as temporary sediment basins to hold site runoff during construction. 5. Show type of energy dissipation devices at all storm sewer outlets, including the swale that flows off-site. 6. 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. 7. Include temporary and permanent seeding, mulching, and fertilization specifications on the plan. 8. Include details for all erosion controls on the plan. 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.
