PUBLIC HEARINGS Chair Rotty opened the public hearings. a)Variance Request From The Interior Side Yard Setback Within The Fairhill Estate At North Creek Development M/I Homes of Minneapolis/St.Paul,LLC is seeking a variance of 0.29 feet(3.48 inches) from the interior side yard setback for the construction of a home to be located on the property addressed as 19187 Crystal Terrace and legally described as Lot 1,Block 1,Fairhill Estate at North Creek 2nd Addition.The subject lot was platted with a width of 50.12 feet at the front property line but narrows to 49.5 feet at the rear property line.The house that was sold for this particular lot meets the side yard setback requirement at three corners of the proposed house,but it does not at the southwest corner. The Planning Commission shall not approve any variance unless they find"practical difficulties"as defined in City Code using nine criteria.Planning Manager Wippler reviewed Planning Commission Minutes Pagel of 3 Regular Meeting February 8,2022 all nine criteria noting that criteria#4 and#5 cannot be met with this variance applicant. Planning Manager Wippler concluded with giving the Planning Commission two options to consider which are to approve the variance contingent upon obtaining all building permits or to deny the variance since the request for variance does not meet all nine criteria outlined in code. Emily Becker with M/I Homes represented the applicant for the variance request and noted that this was an oversight on M/I Homes's part and that the request is very minimal on the side of the house where no single-family home or structure will be placed adjacent to it.No utilities are located in the area seeking variance as well. Commissioner Tesky is comfortable with the variance request due to the nature of no structures or utilities being impacted adjacent to the side lot of the property.Commissioner Windschitl inquired if the variance of three inches is granted to benefit M/I Homes as a business if there is anything in return that the city will get as a benefit. Commissioner Windschitl also inquired why the house configuration cannot change to meet the Fairhill PUD requirement of five-foot setbacks. Ms. Becker stated that the house floor plans are pre- designed and difficult to redesign.The other option for this property is to adjust the lot lines to get the house to fit.They are customer focused and have sold the property with a specific home type so they wanted to request a variance from the city. Commissioner Lehto inquired if the Planning Commission denies the variance,will no home be built on the lot or will M/I Homes have to provide a different housing structure on the property which meets the setback minimums.Commissioner McAbee concurs with the comments from her fellow Planning Commissioners.Chair Rotty will support the variance, but let Ms.Becker be aware that this is a one-time occurrence. MOTION by Tesky,second by Lehto to close the public hearing.APIF,MOTION CARRIED. MOTION by Tesky,second by McAbee,to approve the variance request allowing a 0.29-foot (3.48 inch)variance to the interior side yard setback within the Fairhill Estates at North Creek development APIF,MOTION CARRIED. b)Vermillion Valley Development Preliminary and Final Plat Stantec on behalf of Adelmann Farm LLC has submitted the Vermillion Valley Development Preliminary and Final Plat.The subject property is located at 4755 220th Street W.The Vermillion Valley Development Preliminary and Final Plat consists of 5 outlots (A-E)and right-of-way for 220th Street W.The property to be platted contains 80.57 acres of land and is mixed zoned.The zoning districts within the property include MUCR(Mixed Use Commercial/Residential),P/OS (Parks and Open Space),and R-3 (Medium Density Residential).The necessity for this outlot plat is due to the anticipated acquisition of three of the outlots (B,C,and D)by Dakota County for land preservation and trail purposes. Commissioner Windschitl and Tesky had no questions.Commissioner Lehto inquired about flood zone in the area.Planning Manager Wippler noted that there are not currently any flood zone issues to note and there is a future city park noted in an outlot not being acquired by Dakota County adjacent to the river so no residential structures would be built in that area.Commissioner McAbee had no questions.Chair Rotty inquired about utilities. Utilities will be brought forward to the property line with River's Edge development.

The property is zoned R-3 (Medium Density Residential). The 16 townhome lots are surrounded by an outlot(Outlot A). This outlot consists of common area for the townhome tenants and will be owned by the Home Owners Association. DISCUSSION The applicant, CC Vita Attiva, has submitted a Final Plat for Vita Attiva at South Creek Second Addition. This Final Plat is a replat of Lots 1 and 2, Block 1 Vita Attiva at South Creek First Addition. The Final Plat creates 16 townhome lots (for 2 townhome buildings). The property consists of 1.64 acres and is zoned R-3 (Medium Density Residential). Townhomes are a permitted use within the R-3 zone. The applicant has submitted a petition to vacate the existing drainage and utility easements that were dedicated on Lots 1 and 2,. Block 1 Vita Attiva at South Creek First Addition as new easements are being dedicated with the proposed replat(Vita Attiva at South Creek Second Addition). Additionally,the applicant is requesting the vacation of a roadway easement that was given to the City for Eaton Avenue prior to the platting of the First Addition. The right-of-way for Eaton Avenue was platted and dedicated to the City as part of the First Addition therefore rendering the need for the roadway easement unnecessary. The vacation of easements require a public hearing at the City Council. The hearing has been set for the regular City Council meeting on March 21, 2022.
