The meeting was called to order by the Chairman at 7:00 P.M. Present: Chairman Shirley, Members Hoyer, Nelson Absent: Members Endres and Hanson Also Present: Administrator Ford and Engineer Blaisdell 2. The purpose of this special meeting was to review the proposal of Mr. \ John Broback to plat an area to be known as Hillview 2nd Addition, consisting of 12 lots and an aggregate of 4 acres. The proposed plat was intended to be located immediately south of the present Hill Dee 2nd Addition, on land owned by Mr. Eugene Harris. The Planning Connnission earlier, had requested that the developer bring in not only a preliminary plat of only that land actually to be platted but also a conceptual layout of the method in which the remainder of Mr. Harris' land might be developed in the future in order to facilitate advance planning for the provision of IITlUlicipal services. In reviewing the proposed plat and discussing certain factors with the developers and the Engineer d the City Administrator, the following observations, connnents and recommend tions were arrived at by the Planning Connnission: 1. The consideration of parkland and/or cash contribution s required by the ordinance, would be deferred to the recommendati ns of the Park and Recreation Advisory Commission. 2. Special note was taken of the statement in the memo fro Blaisdell Engineering Company, dated 1/27/76, that "There has bee no diversion of water or basic change in water course by implementat on of this plan". 3. The drainage course shown passing between lot 3 and 4 0 block 2 should be changed and all surface water diverted to the rear of lots with no prescribed water course passing over sidelots. 4. The Planning Commission would recommend to the council hat IITlUlicipal improvements be put in as a public improvement, with th cost assessed to the lots upon written petition of the developer whic , among other things, should state (a) a petition for improvement, (b a willingness to accept the assessment of cost of same, (c) waiving t eir right to a public hearing, (d) a statement by them that they wou d agree to inform each buyer of a developed lot the fact that the ater line would be on a dead end and that the quality of water un il ultimately that line is looped, might be less than perfect, (e) t t the public improvement shall include the erection of street signs, (f) that all utilities shall be underground, (g) that the developer grees to obtain on behalf of the city a street dedication describing t area required for the temporary cul-de-sac as shown on the plan. The Planning Commission then advised the developer to prepare a p eliminary plat in accordance with the requirements of the subdivision ordinance long with the fee of $25.00 plus 2S~ per lot and to return same to the office f the City Administrator who would be requested to submit said plat for consideration by the council at their meeting of February 2, 1976. Motion by Nelson, second by Hoyer that the preliminary plat of Hillview 2nd Addition, in accordanc with the above stipulations, hereby be recommended for approval by the City Co cil.

The meeting was called to order by the Chairman at 7: 00 P.M. Present: Chairman Shirley, Members Endres, Hanson, Hoyer, Nelson Also Present: City Administrator Ford, City Planner Tooker 2. The Chairman opened up for discussion the proposed developmen by Dakota County Electric Association in the area of the Southwest Quadrant of C #31 and 190th Street. The proposed development would consist of an office, sto age and mainten- ance building and grounds, with a proposed building of 50,000 to 5,000 sq. ft. from which approximately 100 employees would operate. The propos d development would be located on a parcel of ground consisting of approximate 1 24 acres pre- sently zoned R-1. The City Planner, Tooker, then presented to th commission, a memorandum dealing with this matter dated February 10, 1976. The gest of the memorandum was that the proposed development could be permitted i the R-1 district as a special exception identified as a public utility. It was fu her recommended in the memorandum, however, that the zoning ordinance be amended y inserting a more specific definition of public utility which does not now exi t. Mr. Tooker, in his memorandum referred toa map presently contained in the Ci yComprehensive Plan, which was made in 1950, showing a proposed or anticipated m jor arterial East/West Street intersecting withCSAH 31 at approximately this location and anticipating some type of commercial development in that immediat area. Several members of the Board of Directors of Dakota County Electric Assoc ation and Mr. Rueben Johnson, their architect, were in the audience and contrib ted extensively to the discussion and answered questions put to them by the connni sioners. They stated that they were also at the same time they were looking at his site, doing some preliminary testing and planning of a site which they alread own in Apple Valley. They indicated that they are now forced to operate withi a very tight time frame and asked that this matter be resolved as quickly as p ssible. The Chairman then closed off discussion except among the connnission m mbers and it appeared to be the consensus of the commission members, based on he discussion and the memorandum from the Planner that two possible options wer available: (a) Actually rezone the total area from an R-1 to a commerc"al and industrial zone in which this proposed development would be either a permitted use or a special exception. (b) Consider granting a special exception to this proposed evelopment in the R-1 as a public utility and in accordance with Title 2, chapter 4, section 4 of the zoning ordinance. It .seemed to be the consensus of the Planning Commission that the former option had very little to recommend itself at which time the Chairman inform d the commission he was ready to entertain a motion of whatever persuasion. No mo ion was forth coming at which time the chairman vacated the chair in favor of M . Don Endres as Chairman pro tem and at which time the Chairman protem indicated he would entertain a motion. Motion by Shirley, second by Nelson that the Planning ommission here- with set a public hearing for 7:00 P.M., March 2, 1976, to consid r the request of the Dakota County Electric Association for a special exception fo the construction of a mean office, storage, and maintenance yard in the area of C 31 and 190th St. The Chairman pro tem then called for discussion on the matter. a point of order Motion by Hanson, second by Nelson to amend the previous motion b changing date from March 2 to March 9, 1976.

The meeting was called to order by the Chairman at 7:30 P.M. Present: Chairman Shirley, Members Endres and Hanson Absent: Members Hoyer and Nelson 2. The commission discussed the memorandum from the City Admini trator dated January 23, 1976, in which a minimum lot variance of from 80,000 sq. ft. to 37,170 sq. ft. was requested by Christ and Stella Hammer at the outheast inter- section of CSAH 31 and Highway 50. It was explained that this s excess highway right-of-way joining the present REA parcel and REA was desirous of purchasing the excess and attaching it to their existing parcel making a to al lot of 37,170 sq. ft. Motion by Hanson, second by Endres that the above vari ce be granted on the grounds that it would, in fact, be improving an existing sub-standard lot and secondly that the situation was in part created by the acquisition of right of way by the City and the construction of the County Road. APIF, motion carried. 3. Mr. James Montgomery of 301 1st Street, presented to the commission, his plans to construct a roof over existing patio blocks at his residence. His residence is a continuing non-conforming use in a B-3 zoning district and the commission was undetermined as to whether or not under the ordinance, his proposed construction would constitute and enlargement, changing, alteration or extension, of a non- conforming use. This was referred to the Zoning Officer for his opinion and also referred to the HRA as per earlier agreement. 4. Motion made and carried to adjourn at 8:30 P.M. Respectfully submitted, William J.

Present: Chairman Shirley, Members Endres, Hanson, Hoyer Absent: Member Nelson Also Present: Administrator Ford 2. Minutes of the previous meetings were deferred. 3. The matter before the commission was the request of the REA for a special exception for a public utility land use in the Southwest quadrant of CSAH #31 and 190th Street. The Chairman opened the previously published public hearing in this matter at 7:30 P.M. Several residents from the area were in the audience and participated in a rather lengthy, detailed and general discussion of the matter. To questions from the audience as to how the improvement of the street shown on the development would be paid for, they were told that that would have to be decided at a public hearing of the council scheduled for March 22, 1976. There were also two representatives from REA in the audience who addressed them- selves to questions put to them by both members of the cornissionand members of the audience. There seem to be a consensus on the part of the commission that more detailed information was necessary before arriving at a decision. This information included: a) Some alternate design which would eliminate the need for the north entrance on curve. b) A report showing the number and types of accidents occurring on that curve within the last few years. c) More specific information regarding the screening, i.e., type, quantity, design, height,etc. d) A definition of "Public Utility" from the City Engineer. e) A legal opinion regarding conflict of interest due to a commissioners proximity of his residence and/or his employment by REA. It was further suggested and REA agreed, that the City Planner meet with two representatives from REA in an attempt to devise alternate designs and layouts which would preclude the need of an opening on the curve. 4. Motion by Endres, second by Hanson that the public hearing be continued to 8;00 P.M., March 16, 1976. APIF, motion carried. 5. Motion made and carried to adjourn at 10:30 P.M. ;;;:1W ~iam J.

Present: Chairman Shirley, Members Endres, Hanson, Hoyer Absent: Member Nelson Also Present: Administrator Ford and Attorney Gorgos 2. Motion by Shirley, second by Endres to approve the minutes of 12/2/75; 12/19/75; 1/20/76; 1/27/76; 2/10/76; 2/17/76; and 3/8/76, as presented. APIF, motion carried. 3. The Chairman promptly opened the public hearing previously published, to con- sider the request of James Reisinger to construct a contractor's equipment storage and maintenance shop across CSAH #31 from his residence at 20521 Akin Road, Farm- ington. Such a request constituting the enclosing of a continuing non-conforming land use in a C-1 zoning district. This public hearing had been continued from February 17, 1976 and at applicants request from February 17, 1976. The commission discussed the matter in depth among themselves, with the Administrator, the City Attorney and with members of the audience including the applicant. Based largely upon a legal opinion from the City Attorney and upon the expressed intent of the applicant to later enlarge or add on to the building, it seemed to be the consensus of the commission that this proposed development then would be in violation of the ordinance and that a special exception would not be operative to serve the needs , of the applicant. There was strong feeling within theconnnission, however, that the existence of such a land use and a building in the C-1 district restricted to the use of the owner only, would not do serious damage to the intent of the ordin- ance. Motion by Hanson, second by Endres that the Planning Commission recommend to the City Council that the Zoning Ordinance be amended to allow in the C-1 Zoning District as a special exception the following land use category - "Non Commercial Equipment Maintenance and Storage ". Voting Yes: Shirley, Hanson, Endres. Voting No: Hoyer. Absent: Nelson. Motion carried. 4. The Chairman then opened the public hearing in the matter of the request of Dakota County Electric Association for a special exception for the construction of a public utility office and warehouse building in the R-1 Zoning District in the Southwest quadrant of CSAH #31 and 190th Street. The Commission discussed among themselves, the City Administrator, the City Attorney, representatives of REA and members of the audience, in depth, the various aspects of the proposed development. The following facts resulted in this discussion: 1) The City Attorney rendered a legal opinion that (a) the definition of "Public Utility" as used in the state statutes could apply in this case. (b) A conflict of interest does exist for a connnissioner employed by the REA but a conflict of interest does not exist for a commissioner simply because he lives close by the subject site, and (c) a vote needed to carry would be a majority of those present and voting. 2) City Planner Tooker had met with REA representatives to discuss alternate site layouts which would eliminate the entrance on curve and type and effectiveness of screening. No specific results had occurred from that meeting. 3) The REA did not at the present time have an option on the subject site. 4) That REA contributes heavily to the economic well being of the city through real estate taxes and employment. 5) That there has been five reported automobile accidents on the subject curve of CSAH #31 from Jan 1, 1971 thru March 12, 1976. After consider additional general discussion involving the members of the Board of Adjustment and members of the audience, the following parliamentary actions took place: 42 Chairman Shirley temporarily vacated the chair in favor of Commissioner Hoyer. Chairman pro tempore then entertained whatever motion the commissioners de- I sired. There was a main Motion by Endres, second by Shirley that the Board of Adjustment hereby make a finding of fact that the proposed development by REA meets all of the reqirements of title 2, chapter 4, sections 4 and 5 of the City code and that therefore a special exception to permit the construc- tion of a public utility combined warehouse and general office be granted. Chairman pro tem Hoyer called for discussion. Carnmissioner Hanson then made a subsidiary motion to postpone indefinitely. Chairinan pro tem Hoyer ruled said motion out of order. Connnissioner Hanson requested, that the chair reverse his ruling. Chairman Pro tem Hoyer then called for a second to the subsidiary motion. Chairman Pro tem Hoyer then ruled that there being no second to the subsidiary motion, it dead. The Chairman pro tem then called for a vote on the main motion. Voting yes: Shirley, Endres. Abstaining: Hoyer, Hanson. Absent: Nelson. The chair ruled the motion carried and the special exception granted. 5. The commission then announced that the next regular meeting of the Planning Commission/Board of Adjustment is April 20, 1976. 6. Motion made and carried to adjourn at 9:00 P.M.

The meeting was called to order by the Chairman at 7:30 P.M. Present: Chairman Shirley, Members Endres and Nelson Absent: Members Hanson and Hoyer 2. The City Council had referred to the Planning Commission the petition for subdivision waiver of Harold Mattson on his property on County Road 31 involved in the possible sale of land to Mr. Robert Swanson. Notices of this meeting had been sent to adjoining property owners in the area and several were in the audience. There was a general discussion concerning the advisability of granting the subdivision waiver in the light of future parcel land splits to be made, the availability of IITlUlicipal services, the terrain of the land, and the zoning. Con- siderable discussion followed at which time the Chairman brought the discussion back to the table. Motion by Endres, second by Nelson to recommend to the council that a waiver of platting be approved with the following conditions: 1. That the 4 to 5 acres which would be retained by Harold Mattson after the land sale to Jim Reisinger and Son, IIUlst be platted before any other further subdivision of that parcel would take place. Voting for: Shirley, Endres, Nelson. Abstaining: Hanson (Arrived during above discussion). Voting against: None. Absent: Hoyer. Motion carried. 3. The Planning Commission sited the following reasons for their reconnnendation: 1. Apparently only two buildable areas left, one area not servicable, future owner agrees. 2. Road easement on the North is on land owned by another party and road cannot be moved south because of existing buildings. 3. Land locked area owned by Paul Middlestadt would not be included in a plat 4. Future services to five acres owned by Paul Middlestadt will have to be provided by a private easement through his own land and road easement. 4. Motion made and carried to adjourn at 9:10 P.M.

The Commission then took under advisement the requested waiver of platting of Mr. Arnie Jorgenson for outlot A, Hill Dee 2nd Addition, splitting from one lot into three lots. This matter had been referred.the Planning Commission by the council, for their recommendation. It was pointed out that no special exception or variance was being requested from the applicant. Motion by Endres, second by Hanson to recommend to the City Council that the above walver of platting be granted. APIF, motion carried. 4. Motion by Endres, second by Shirley that the minutes of August 10, 1976 be approved. APIF, motion carried. 5. The minutes of August 31, 1976 were deferred. 6. The connnission then discussed the possible rezoning of a parcel of land on T.H. #3, west service drive (the old Pack River lumber yard site) from 1-1 to B-1. As a result of considerable discussion in the matter, it was the consensus of the commission, that the present zoning remain on that land. 7. The Chairman requested of the members to study the proposed annexation by Adelmann of an area consisting of approximately 46 acres and to be prepared to recommend an appropriate zoning to the council. The City Administrator was also requested to seek a recommendation from City Planner, Charles Tooker. 8. The commission then studied the request of Farm Service Association to remove a present bulk oil facility from Spruce to North of Elm across from their proposed development on 3rd and Elm. Motion by Endres, second by Hanson, that the Planning Commission recommend to the council that the ordinance be amended and to provide as a special exception in the B-3 zoning district, for fuel storage facilities. APIF, motion carried. 9. The City Administrator reported to the Planning Commission the status of the following improvement: Farm Service Retail Complex, Erickson Grocery Store, Housing for the Elderly, Leibfried Building on 3rd and Oak. 62 10.

The commission then took under advisement the request for a building permit for James A. Klose, 404 Oak Street, to improve a non-conforming use (residence) in a B-2 zoning district. A discussion with the applicant disclosed that all of the work anticipated, in the amount of $7000, would be on interior walls and would consist primarily of installing insulation in the walls. It was the consensus of thecornmission that a finding of fact be determined that the proposed work,did not in fact, enlarge, alter or expand the non..:conforming use, and that further, the intent of the ordinance would not be violated by encouraging alterations which fostered energy conservation. Said finding 'of fact was conveyed to Mr. Klose. 4.

The Planning Commission again discussed the possible zoning of the 46 acyes proposed for annexation in the NW quarter of section 6, Castle Rock Township, petitioned by Adelmann and Dakota County Electric. The City Administrator was requested to contact the owners to determine what their future plans may entail for the area on which REA would not be building. 6. The commission agreed to look into the matter of the present and future zoning of the Farm Service installation located on T.H. 3, which would be abandoned once their facilities on 3rd and Elm are completed. 7.

Motion by Hanson, second by Nelson that the minutes of August 31, September 21, and October 19, 1976 be approved as presented. APIF, motion carried. ~5. The Chairman then opened the previously published public hearing at 5: 20 P.M.. to consider the request of Frederick-Willys, Inc., for a front yard set~back at 27 5th Street. Present to discuss the request for this variance was Mr. Mel Forbrook. After some discussion with Mr. Forbrook the Chairman indicated he would entertain a motion for action.

The commission then opened the advisory meeting with Farm Service Association as represented by Glen Schuman and their request for a special exception to permit the construction of a petroleum product bulk storage facility in a B-3 zoning district located at 202 Main Street. After some discussion the commission set a public hearing in this matter for 5:15 P.M., November 23, 1976. 6. The Chairman set a special meeting of the Planning Commission for 5: 15 P.M., November 23, 1976, and indicated that the meeting of the 23rd would be in lieu of the regular meeting of November 16, 1976. The Administrator was requested to inform the public of such. 7. The commission then discussed informally with Mr. Bob Adelmann the future and initial zoning of land owned by him, recently annexed to the City of Farmington from the Castle Rock Township. It was Mr. Adelmann's opinion that the area in question would be better zoned Industrial. There were no decisions made in this matter but it appeared that a strong inclination toward a zoning district of 1-1 was generally present on the commission. This matter was laid over to the meeting of November 23, 1976. 8. The commission then took up the request of Mr. Lawrence Bixby for a subdivision waiver and a lot area variance at 409 6th Street, which consists of a lot 60' x 170' and contains two residences. It was pointed out that the splitting of this lot would result in the creation of a substandard lot as to mimimum area. This matter too, was laid over to the meeting of November 23, 1976. 9. The Commission then again discussed at length the possible rezoning of the area immediately east of T.H. 3 and North of Maple Street, where Farm Service presently has it agricultural servicing operation. It was pointed out that this service presently is a continuing non-forming use in an R-1 zoning district. There 66 were various factors that came under discussion such as the possible sale of the Farm Service facility, the grandfathered rights, the potential economic loss to Farm Service if not allowed to convert to a commercial use. There seemed to be a consensus in the commission that an appropriate zoning would be either an R-1 or B-1 in that general area. This matter was also laid over to the meeting of November 23, 1976 for further dis- CUSSlon. I 10. Motion made and carried to adjourn at 6: 30 P.M. Respectfully submitted, William J.

Present: Acting Chairman Hanson, Commissioners Endres, Nelson Absent: Chairman Shirley, Commissioner Hoyer Also Present: City Administrator Ford 2. The Acting Chairman opened the previously published public hearing at 5:55 P.M. to consider the request of Farm Service Association for a special exception to construct a petroleum product bulk storage facility at 202 Main Street as a special exception in the B-3 zoning district. Plans and specifications were reviewed by the Planning Commission as well as the recently amended zoning ordin- ance which would provide for such a special exception. Motion by Nelson, second by Endres that the above special exception be granted. APIF, motion carried. 3. The Commission again discussed the possible zoning of the newly annexed land owned by Adelmann and joined in on the petition of annexation by Dakota County Electric. After considering the pros and cons of the area and the potential patteTIlj of development, the Acting Chairman said he would entertain a motion. Motion by Nelson, second by Endres that the Planning Commission recommend to the City Council that that area consisting of approximately 46 acres newly annexed, be zoned 1-1. APIF, motion carried. 4. The City Administrator informed the commission of the location of the pro- posed Apple Valley Interceptor to be installed by the Metropolitan Waste Control Commission. The Planning Commission took this under advisement. 5. The Commission then discussed with Mr. Lawrence Bixby his request for a minimum lot size variance for the West ~ of Lot 1, Block 2, Htnnphrey's Addition located at 409 6th Street. It was determined that the variance requested would be for a minimum lot area of 3,000 sq. ft. against the ordinance requirement of 7200 sq. ft. It was also brought out that at the present time there were two residences on this one lot in violation of the ordinance which had been grand- fathered in and the question was now surfacing in relation to the needed repair to the joint water services. The Planning Commission suggested to Mr. Bixby with the assistance of the City Administrator, that the Water Board to contacted to explore the possibility of their permitting a separate service running to the second residence which would preclude the necessity of a variance and a subse- quent subdivision waiver. The was the consensus of the commission at this time, to decline to grant a minimum lot area variance. 6. The following items were deferred to the next Planning Commission meeting: a) Possible amendments to the zoning ordinance regarding day-care centers and foster homes. b) Recommendations to the city council for the adoption of an official street map. c) Possible initial zoning of three recent areas under petition for annexation and a general discussion of annexation. 7.

APIF, motion carried. 5'L-.[ (l - J ~ - 7b 4. The Planning Commission took up the matter of the referral from the council of the matter of annexation involving three petitions of land owners in Castle Rock Township. The Administrator had prepared an informative study for the Planning Commission members and it had been distributed prior to the meeting. All of the members indicated that they had read it and studied it and were pre- pared to discuss the matter. 5. The commissioners engaged in thorough exploration of the matter involving various general factors such as geography, economics, demography, law, engineering, sociology, and planning. They addressed themselves to specific areas of con- sideration such as rate of growth, development patterns, land use and controls of land use, terrain and municipal services. Arising from that general discussion, the planning commission made the following conclusions: a) The above annexed lands would create a city of Farmington with a permanent area of 26!z sections. b) After all of the above annexations, the lands remaining in all townships would be more than sufficient to allow them to continue as a township or to incorporate separately. c) The lands proposed for annexation are urban or about to become urbanized and apparently would better be served by the City. d) Orderly annexation has been tryed and and failed and the annexations pro- posed would presumably result in a seriously contested expensive, bitter contest - but would be worth the price in the long run. e) The animosities generated in annexation proceedings need not be long lasting. This conclusion is based on the past record of the City of Farmington to quickly assimilate and join with people in the annexed areas. The Chairman then announced that the chair would entertain a motion. Motion by Hoyer, second by Hanson that: The council pursue annexation at this time in an attempt to set a permanent expanded boundary for Farmington which is essential to the future growth and development of Farmington. The council prepare and provide for a budget to pursue annexation which would include legal, engineering and city planning staff work costs. The council, after consultation with staff, consultants, the Municipal Board, and the Planning Commission, select a course of action which should result in the following lands being annexed to the City as shown on the attached map which shall become a part of these minutes: a) Castle Rock - Sections 5 and 6 b) Eureka - East !z of section 3, Sections 1 and 2 c) Empire - Sections 5, 6, 7, 8, 17, 18, 19, 20, 29, 30 and 32 APIF, motion carried. 70 .f 6.
