c. Downtown Area - Exchange Bank Building and Larson Building
Staff provided the timetable for the work on the Exchange Bank building. The
timetable is being followed. The EDA received a Certificate of Appropriateness
from the HPC. The ceiling will be replaced with sheetrock. The upper level is
proposed to be a grand hall.
a.
Downtown Area - McVicker Lot
Staff provided the most recent plans for the McVicker building. There are some
options regarding the staircase on the Gossips building. The space between
Gossips and the McVicker building could be enclosed from 3T Street, or there
could be a joint staircase. These options are still being reviewed. There would
have to be an easement as the staircase used by Gossips would be on the
McVicker lot property. The EDA was provided with the Contract for Private
Development for approval. Mr. Heinen would like to close in August. There
should be enough space to maintain the mural on the Steakhouse building.
Member Flaherty pointed out some corrections to be made on the Contract for
Private Development. The board asked if there would be adequate lighting along
the walkway by the mural. They would like the area by the staircase closed off
from the front. The EDA requested staff keep these things in mind when the
EDA Minutes

plans are reviewed. MOTION by Hardt, second by Fogarty to approve the
Contract for Private Development to include considerations for lighting and the
space on the north side of the building and with the corrections discussed. APIF,
MOTION CARRIED.
.
b. Industrial Park - R&L Trucking
The owner intends to reduce the size of the building, however staffhas not
received revised plans.
d. Downtown Area - Riste Building
Staff is continuing to work with Xcel Energy to find an alternate location.
e. Industrial Park - JIT Powdercoating
Staff noticed there were seven trailers parked on the street. Five ofthem have
been moved onto the newly paved parking lot and Mr. Milner was checking on
the other two trailers.
f.
Downtown Area - Vacant Lot at 4th Street and Main Street
Dakota County has received the deed conveying the lot from the state to the EDA.
Once the deed is recorded, the EDA can transfer the property to Mr. Heinen.
MOTION by Hardt, second by Starkman to approve the Contract for Private
Development for 201 4th Street. Member Flaherty wanted to make sure the City
Attorney was comfortable with the EDA being covered as far as hazardous
substances and also the items listed in section C. Staff will check with the City
Attorney on this. APIF, MOTION CARRIED.
.
g. Downtown Area - 305 3rd Street - Former Liquor Store Building
Staff distributed two proposals from contractors for general repair work on the
interior. Removal of the coolers would come out ofthe liquor operations fund.
Staffhas been trying to find a tenant to lease the building. Staffhas contacted the
DV AC who would be interested in the building. It would need to be determined
if the DV AC would be able to pay enough rent to recover the remodeling costs.
City Administrator Herlofsky was concerned with downtown and what is the
overall objective. The City is talking about moving the City Hall, so what will be
done with this property. We have the liquor store building and the parks garage.
We need to look at how we want the downtown to look and what type of people
we want to attract. What uses would be appropriate for a long term improvement
of downtown. He suggested removing the current City Hall, upgrade the parking
and have a small green space such as a downtown center park. This would lighten
things up and maybe force some of the people on the next street to use the
backsides as entrances and clean things up. When renting the liquor store
building, he was looking for a broader message that will help us. He has initiated
a proposal with International City Management Association as a peer assessment.
He would like to bring someone in to help set up the economic forum discussed .
previously. The property the City owns does not enhance the downtown.

h.
Member Collignon agreed leasing the liquor store was a short-term cosmetic. The
redevelopment opportunity with City Hall moving coincides with what the EDA
has in mind for the downtown. Councilmember Fogarty stated having an
organization using the building would be short term and felt it was better than
having a building sitting empty for now. The EDA agreed that corner is good for
future redevelopment. Member Collignon asked if it would be better to tear down
the building and show that the EDA is ready for economic development. City
Administrator Herlofsky noted there will be a meeting regarding Elm Street. He
felt there should be distinctive street lighting and sidewalks from TH3 to the
bridge. We have some opportunities with the county to participate as it is a
county road. This could show people they are getting close to downtown. City
Administrator Herlofsky stated they need an overall mission and hoped they could
bring in a consultant late summer/early fall to look at what we are doing now,
compare it to what is being done in other places and look at the good and the bad
to determine what is in our best interest. The purpose would be to set up a system
so we know what we are going to do.
Member Hardt asked if we would be doing an economic development process.
The EDA had a framework and a broad outline to develop an economic
development plan. City Administrator Herlofsky felt a consultant would help
them focus more on what we should be doing in line with the mission that would
be developed. We need to determine what is the downtown going to be and
economic development for the community in general. Members felt what they
have done could be incorporated into what City Administrator Herlofsky has
planned. The consultant would not be to only facilitate a meeting but to help us
determine not only objectives, but different ways of getting there. Chair Arey felt
they could get to what their vision is quicker this way. Member Flaherty felt this
is more on track with what they need and there will still be an opportunity for
input and discussion. ICMA would bring in people from around the area who
have been successful in economic development and those can be used as a
resource. As far as the liquor store building, City Administrator Herlofsky felt
unless there is a viable tenant, there is no reason to fix it up. The coolers should
be removed right away. Chair Arey stated the EDA could review the proposals as
to what can and cannot be done with repairs and bring this back next month.
Economic Development Summit; Economic Development Plan
Member Collignon stated there are several parties in the community that have a
strong interest in the vitality of the economy and seeing strategic growth and
planning. This is the reason the Chamber is promoting the Economic Growth
Committee. The proposal from ICMA is along the lines ofthe Chamber's
discussions. Staff will bring more information on the ICMA proposal to the
EDA.

SUBJECT:
305 3rd Street - Former Liquor Store
DATE:
August 28, 2006
INTRODUCTION
The building located at 305 3rd Street is owned by the Economic Development Authority. For the
past several months staff has been working to find a suitable tenant to fill the space that became
vacant when the downtown liquor store moved into its new location.
DISCUSSION
Currently, there are 2 potential lessees who have expressed an interest in leasing this particular
property. The Dakota Valley Arts Council [DV AC] has indicated that it would like to use the
space for an office, to display art, hold art classes and for storage. The other party that expressed
interest in the space is Broadband Solutions. Broadband has indicated that it would use the space
for an office, to hold training sessions for employees and to store some tools and equipment.
There was another interested party, until recently, who indicated that he would like to use the
space to open a flower shop with the main portion of the business catering to the White Funeral
Homes, which is owned by his family. The party that was interested in opening a flower shop
recently indicated to staff that he is putting his idea of starting a flower shop on hold at this point.
If the EDA does not want to take action at this point to approve one of the tenants identified
above, the flower shop may be a viable option at a future point.
RECOMMENDATION
Staffwill be discussing various alternatives with the EDA at Monday's meeting, which will help staff
determine the most appropriate outcome for this property.
Respectfully Submitted,
~

SUBJECT:
EDA Mission Statement
DATE:
August 24, 2006
During the first few months of this year, when the EDA began working on the creation of an
Economic Development Plan [EDP], it was agreed that the EDP should include a Mission
Statement regarding economic development. Although it was initially suggested that the EDA
and City staff could or should jointly craft an initial draft of a Mission Statement, it was later
agreed that the EDA's work on a Mission Statement would be deferred until that topic could be
discussed at a planned Economic Development Summit. In light of the present uncertainty
regarding whether or when an Economic Development Summit will be conducted, it may be
appropriate for the EDA to reactivate its prior consideration ofthis subject area.
Common themes recur in the Mission Statements that have been adopted by other governmental
entities and development agencies. Numerous examples can be easily found by searching the
Internet. Here are some representative samples:
City of Aurora. Illinois:
To promote, attract, and retain commercial and industrial development in the City of Aurora. In
doing so, serve to enhance the quality of life for Aurora citizens by creating jobs, increasing
assessed valuation, and attracting property tax, sales tax, and other revenue generators to the
community.
City of North Branch. Minnesota:
To be proactive in maintaining and enhancing the economic viability of North Branch through
partnership, innovation and strategic action.
City of Davton. Ohio:
The Office of Economic Development is dedicated to promoting economic vitality for Dayton
businesses and residents. By fostering a conducive environment for growth, prosperity and job
creation, the office's success will increase the city's tax base, providing resources for municipal
services that enhance the quality of life for Dayton's residents.
City of Richland. Washine:ton:
To facilitate the growth, diversification and stability of the Richland economy, to create
meaningful employment opportunities for all of the citizens of the City and, by expanding the
economy, to provide a stable and growing tax base for the operations of City government.
City of Elmhurst. Illinois:
The mission of the Economic Development Office is to work effectively to retain, expand,
promote and attract business and industry within Elmhurst so as to enhance the local economic .
development climate, increase the City of Elmhurst's tax base, increase the value of commerce
and create employment opportunities.
City of Seymour. Texas:
To achieve and to maintain the most reasonable, dynamic and robust business climate in the
Seymour/Baylor County community, by aggressively pursuing all avenues of growth for new
and existing businesses, towards the goal of maximizing employment opportunities, tax base and
quality oflife.
City of San Diee:o. California:
With an emphasis on urban core neighborhoods and low and moderate income residents, the
Community and Economic Development Department improves the quality of life and ensures a
healthy economy for all San Diegans through job development, business development,
neighborhood revitalization, public improvements, social services, and revenue enhancement.
City of Lakeville. Minnesota:
The Economic Development Commission is committed to identifying and managing innovative
economic growth, which enhances the quality oflife and provides balance to the business and
residential community.
It may not be practical for the EDA to try to fashion a Mission Statement during the course of
Monday night's meeting, given the length of the agenda. Options for pursuing this subject
include:
.
1. Scheduling a special EDA meeting to address this topic (and possibly others).
2. Planning to conduct a general discussion of this topic at next month's regular EDA
meeting.
3. Directing staff to prepare a draft of a proposed Mission Statement for consideration at the
next regular or special EDA meeting.
RECOMMENDED ACTION:
Provide direction to staff regarding future handling.

Comprehensive Plan Update
DATE:
August 28, 2006
INTRODUCTION
The City is responsible for updating the 2020 Comprehensive Plan to the 2030
Comprehensive Plan by September 12, 2008. The existing comprehensive plan was
adopted in February of 2000 and includes 13 chapters. The economic development
components are addressed in Chapter 3 (Land Use), of the 2020 Comprehensive Plan
which is attached to the end of this memorandum.
DISCUSSION
Over the next few years staff will be working with several departments and various boards
to create an updated comprehensive plan document that will illustrate the City's
strategic growth plan, policies, and goals. Strategies were also developed to help the
City accomplish the goals that have been identified. As mentioned above, economic
development components are covered in Chapter 3 of the 2020 Comprehensive Plan. In
the 2030 Comprehensive Plan we'll be going above and beyond what currently exists by
creating an Economic Development Plan that will be a part of the 2030 document.

Farmington 2020 Comprehensive Plan Update
FARMINGTON COMPREHENSIVE PLAN
LAND USE ELEMENT
Existing Land Use Conditions
The City of Farmington lies 20 miles south of the Twin Cities and was established over
125 years ago as a railroad center for the surrounding farming community. Farmington is
approximately 7,886 acres in size, with a current population of over ten thousand. Table
3.1 and Map 3.0 shows the existing land uses in the corporate boundaries of Farmington
in August 1998.
Farmington is a "green" city with 30% of its total land area devoted to agricultural uses.
Another 22% is natural and represents an abundance of natural resources: wetlands;
creeks; rolling hills; steep slopes and the Vermillion River traversing its lower central
region. These abundant green resources affirm Farmington's traditional, small town
character and its historic connection to farming. The downtown area is laid out on a
traditional grid pattern spreading out from the former railroad station. The Vermillion
River serves as downtown's natural northern edge. Third Street is downtown's
"Mainstreet" and the spine of the downtown commercial district. Third Street with its
historic, small town commercial character reflects the aesthetic qualities associated with
the image of a traditional "Mainstreet".
.
Downtown also consists of some industrial uses located along the railroad line and
various institutional uses. Downtown's residential community consists of older housing
- 20% of downtown's housing stock was built before 1950. East of downtown are
distinctive, low-density residential developments organized around public greens. The
City's heart is a traditional, fairly well-preserved small town.
However, changes have occurred over the last decade that have caused Farmington to
develop new physical characteristics. With Farmington's location on the edge of the
Twin Cities' metropolitan area, it experienced an unprecedented growth rate of 300-350
new dwelling units per year during the mid 1990's. New housing developments were
constructed in the northern section of the City adjacent to Lakeville. These new
developments resemble typical suburban subdivisions-homogenous, single family homes
laid out on curvilinear streets. There is also a large gap of undeveloped, naturally
resourceful land in the center of Farmington between these newer residential
developments and the greater downtown community, leaving these areas without a
geographic and contextual connection. This physical separation further intensifies the
contrast between the northern and southern sections of the City. As a result, Farmington
as a whole appears to have two different faces, and appears disconnected.
.
Farmington wants a unified city image with meaningful connections between its northern
and traditional downtown sections. Farmington accepts its share of the metro area's
forecasted growth, but wants quality-controlled growth executed by strong City direction
and management. As the City grows to accommodate 5,775 more households, it does not
want to lose its historic, small town character. It also wants to protect and preserve its
5

Farmington 2020 Comprehensive Plan Update
rich natural assets and working farms. Ultimately, the City wants to create a vital city
that is in harmony with nature, farming and has traditional small town characteristics.

Additionally, Table 3.1 identifies the proposed acres by each land use category to 2020.
By the year 2020, the City is projected to grow to a population of 27,090 or 9,675
households, --meaning 5,775 new households and a need for an additional 1,750 acres
with an overall residential density of 3.3 dulacre. There are 1,337 vacant acres of land
available for development within the City, of which 735 acres are available for residential
development within the existing MUSA boundary and another 310 acres are available
outside of the existing MUSA boundary. In terms of residential MUSA, an additional
1,060 residential MUSA acres, along with the current 735 vacant residential acres within
the MUSA, provides for a total of 1,795 residential acres of MUSA that the City will
need to meet the forecasted residential growth. Therefore, 1,750 additional MUSA will
be consumed by 2020 leaving 45 acres of undeveloped residential land for unanticipated
growth. To address this shortfall of 735 acres, the City has begun to expand its
boundaries to the northeast through an orderly annexation agreement involving 989 gross
acres in the adjacent Empire Township. Approximately 750 acres of the annexed
properties will be available for low and medium-density residential development.

GENERAL POLICY DECISIONS REGARDING LAND USE
A Residential Community with Quality Controlled Growth
Residential land uses currently occupy 23% of the City's developed land, or 1,225 acres.
(This includes 168 acres of rural residential uses). A total of735 acres of residential land
are vacant within the existing MUSA boundary line. The City has decided to provide for
quality controlled growth. It wants to preserve the small town character of its existing
neighborhoods and promote this character in its new neighborhoods. It wants to protect
residential uses from potential adverse land use impacts, but complement and enhance
residential uses with the conservation of Farmington's abundant natural resources.
Another City policy is to provide neighborhoods with accessible services such as
neighborhood convenience-retail stores, parks, public transit, low traffic levels on
residential streets and schools that serve identifiable areas of the City. Furthermore, the
City wants to provide its residents with a variety of housing choices and styles that
accommodate residents of all income levels and in all stages of life.
.
The City will provide for growth at a density level of 3.3 units per acre. The City will
need 1,750 additional acres to accommodate the total number of households, 9,675 that
are projected for the year 2020. 310 acres will be available for residential development in
the proposed expanded MUSA area and another 750 acres will be available from within
the annexed Seed/Genstar properties. Combined with the existing 735 vacant acres
within the current MUSA area, a total of 1,795 additional acres will be available to
accommodate the projected growth by the year 2020.
As shown in Table 3.2, in 199882% of the total housing units in Farmington were single
family and 18% were multi-family units. While the City provides 1,750 new acres of
residential development over the next twenty years, it will be allocating a greater
proportion of its housing supply to multi-family units. By the year 2020, between 32%
and 36% of the total housing supply in Farmington will be built as medium or high-
density residential units to meet the Livable Communities Act standards.

Farmington 2020 Comprehensive Plan Update
The housing stock is generally in good condition, although some of the older housing in
the downtown area needs housing maintenance and rehabilitation. The lot sizes vary with
smaller lots in the downtown and eastern sections, and larger lots in the residential
"suburban-like" developments to the north. To the east of Trunk Highway 3 in East
Farmington are distinctive, low-density residential developments organized around
common greens. This development was initiated in 1993 and will be totally developed
with 451 units by 2001 or 2002. This housing is in good condition, as well as the newer
housing developments in the North Central and Central districts.
.
The City will encourage in-fill development in the existing neighborhoods to strengthen
the older sections of the City. In order to accommodate the projected 5,775 additional
households, the City will continue to proceed with the orderly annexation of 989 gross
acres of the Genstar/Seed properties in Empire Township and allow for residential growth
of 310 acres in the northwest, central and southern sections of the City in the proposed
expanded MUSA area. This residential development outside the MUSA line but within
the City limits will occur in previously designated agricultural areas. The City will only
extend sanitary sewer in the undesignated MUSA reserve areas as shown on Map 4.1 and
not into any of the designated urban reserve areas.
The City has established four residential land use categories that indicate appropriate
density levels for the City. The low-density land use category provides for a residential
density range of 1-3.5 units per acre. The low/medium-density category provides for a
residential density range of 2.5 to 5.5 units per acre. (This designation recognizes the
smaller lot sizes in the older sections of the City as compared to recent typical
subdivision lot sizes). The medium-density category provides for a residential density
range of 5.5 to 14.0 units per acre. The high-density category provides for a residential
density level of 12 units or more per acre.
.
The principal threats to residential areas are the effects of non-residential land uses, such
as, vehicular traffic, intensive commercial uses, industrial uses and the railroad, which
can generate negative impacts on residential neighborhoods. Potential impacts of non-
residential development on residential land uses can be minimized by concentrating
commercial land uses, particularly industrial land uses, as much as possible in appropriate
separated locations and where such uses abut residential uses to provide for careful
treatment of edges. Landscaping, careful site design, special height restrictions, attention
to scale, setback requirements, among other tools can be used to protect residential
properties. Concentrating non-residential development, by avoiding spot zoning and strip
development patterns, will minimize the number of residential and non-residential edges
that can occur.
The effects of traffic can be somewhat controlled by locating land uses where higher
volume traffic generators are closest to major streets. In this way, traffic can be kept off
local residential streets. In some areas, higher density residential uses will be located on
collectors or arterials. In these cases, the possible negative effects can be minimized
through site-planning techniques such as increased setbacks, location of open space next
to roadways, landscaping, and superior building design. Higher density developments
.
8
Land Use Element
.
Farmington 2020 Comprehensive Plan Update
should not be thought of as inferior uses, but instead as another housing choice worthy of
high quality design standards. Multi-family developments should also provide open
space and address recreation needs for their residents. Where feasible, these
developments should provide a means to link up residents with the City multi-user trail
system.
Expand Downtown's Commercial District and Create Neighborhood-Serving
Commercial Districts
Commercial land uses account for a small percentage of the land in Farmington. Only 40
acres are developed with commercial uses and the majority of these uses are concentrated
in the downtown commercial district. There are also some commercial uses located in
the North Central Neighborhood district. There are 25 vacant commercial acres within
the City.
.
The City wants to strengthen the downtown commercial district and extend it to its
natural northern edge, the Vermillion River. In so doing, the City wants to connect and
enhance the overall image of downtown and the River, and increase their attraction to
pedestrians and as commercial activity areas. This new enlarged commercial district
should continue to be focused along Third Street with a dramatic connection/linkages to
the river. The existing "Mainstreet" character of Third Street should be protected and
strengthened. Specifically, this commercial district should preserve historic buildings and
features, require high design standards, provide for a diverse mix of community oriented
commercial and cultural activities, be well-landscaped, be pedestrian-oriented, display
public art and encourage community gathering.
The Vermillion River corridor should also be improved for additional passive recreation
uses, such as, strolling, biking, and picnicking, while maintaining the river's quiet,
ambling character. A streetscape plan should be developed that thematically ties together
the River and Third Street with a cohesive image. This streetscape plan should also
recognize Third Street's connection to the Dakota Village and fairgrounds to the south.
New neighborhood commercial centers are planned for the Northeast and Central
neighborhood districts to complement and support new residential developments. These
centers should provide every-day neighborhood uses, be pedestrian-oriented, reflect high
design standards, be built to human-scale, provide ample landscaping and have
community gathering places. By the year 2020, the City will provide a total of 98 acres of
commercial uses, which meets the projected demand of 98 acres.
Expand Industrial Uses and Create a Business Park
.
The City currently has 189 acres of land developed as industrial uses. These uses are
located along the railroad line in downtown, but predominantly concentrated along
County State Aid Highway 50(CSAH). There are currently 330 vacant industrial acres in
the City and it is projected that the City will need 496 acres by the year 2020 to meet the
projected demand. The abutting environmentally sensitive, floodplain area naturally
9
Land Use Element
Farmington 2020 Comprehensive Plan Update
separates the industrial district along CSAH 50 from other residential sections of the City.
With this natural buffer, the City wants to expand this industrial district westward to
include an area west of Pilot Knob Road. Although the City wants to diversify its tax
base by expanding its industrial areas, it also wants to upgrade these areas. A good
percentage of the new industrial uses will be developed within a business park setting.
Of the total 506 industrial acres provided by the year 2020 to meet the projected demand,
176 acres will be developed as business park uses along the south side of CSAH 50. The
business park uses should exemplify high quality design, landscaping and site plan
development standards and permit a mix of complementary hi-tech business, office, light
industrial and recreational uses.
.
The Industrial uses will continue in their existing downtown locations, but they should
not be expanded. New industrial uses should be directed to the CSAH 50 industrial
district. Downtown industrial uses should also continue to be buffered from adjacent
residential uses.
Maintain Working Farms
2,395 acres within the existing city limits are currently devoted to agriculture.
Farmington wants to preserve and maintain its working farms along the western and
southwestern sections of the City. This policy will reinforce Farmington's small town
character and these agricultural areas will act as a natural boundary between Lakeville
and Farmington. The City will designate 2,072 acres, of these agricultural areas as urban
reserve areas, which will protect farms until at least 2020 and allows for very limited
residential development of one unit per 40 acres. A total of 323 agricultural acres will be
redeveloped for light industrial and residential uses by the year 2020.
.
Protect and Conserve Natural Resources
The City currently has 1,311 acres of natural resources conserved in their natural state:
wetlands, floodplain areas, steep slopes, river and creek corridors. Farmington has
decided to designate 1,713 acres divided between environmentally sensitive areas and
natural areas restricted in terms of development. These areas will form a green network
of multi-user trails, and a community preserve of natural open spaces to naturally weave
the City together. This community preserve of natural resources will also buffer
incompatible land uses, and enhance residential, commercial and business park
developments.
The City has decided to connect its northern and southern sections of the City together by
creating a Central Park--a natural showpiece--a "community green". This "community
green" will be a nature-influenced, activity node where natural, residential and
recreational land uses dramatically combine to provide distinctive residential
opportunities, a focal point of a lake/ golf course/ open space, passive and active
recreational opportunities, the hub of the city-wide trail system and a unique community
gathering place.

major transportation corridors-Akin and Pilot Knob Roads- and close to
nearby schools.
2) Create a Farmington "community green" in the center of this district
where the City's natural assets can beautifully converge. The "community
green" would be a nature influenced activity node where natural,
residential and recreational uses dramatically combine to provide
distinctive residential opportunities and a variety of active and passive
recreational opportunities. (Refer to policy statement 5, which outlines
this "Community Green" concept).
3) Create an amenity rich residential community surrounding the Farmington
"Community Green". (Refer to policy statement 5).

amenity. Develop a cohesive theme that ties the river and downtown together.
Use this theme in the streetscape plan design guidelines and in public
improvements.
Enhance and protect the Vermillion River corridor by permitting only a pedestrian
and bike path directly along its shore. This river pathway should be aesthetically
pleasing and inviting, but also sensitive to the quiet, ambling nature of the river's
character. Make the path quietly festive with low lights, public art, picnic tables,

5. It is the policy of the City of Farmington to create new parks: a 'Farmington
Community Green" connecting the northern and southern sections of the City, new
mini- and neighborhood parks.
Strategies
* Create a Farmington "community green" in the central district of the City where
the City's natural assets can beautifully converge and connect the northern,
western and greater downtown areas of the City. The community green will be a
nature-influenced, activity node where natural, residential and recreational uses
dramatically combine to provide distinctive residential opportunities, a variety of
active and passive recreational opportunities and a unique community gathering
place. This "community green" is predominantly natural. It will reflect
conservation of the City's natural assets, while providing sensitive design of
residential uses and opportunities for recreational uses by residents of all ages and
lifestyles.
* Create this community green to be an exciting convergence of complementary
land uses consisting of the following:
1. a high quality, market rate and high end, golf course/open space residential
community where nature and housing are harmoniously woven through:
2. the hub of an extensive multi-user, "green" trail system linking all parts of the
City through the environmentally sensitive areas and the river corridor;
3. a focal point of either a small lake with a community center, or a golf
course/open space conservation area with a community center; surrounded by
well-designed, high amenity housing;
4. active recreation opportunities-soccer, play fields and passive open spaces.
.
* Establish new mini-parks and neighborhood parks in the Northeast, North Central
and Central Districts that will support all new residential developments.

Farmington 2020 Comprehensive Plan Update
6. It is the policy of the City of Farmington to accommodate 1,750 new acres of
residential land uses for a total of 2,807 acres by the year 2020 and to plan specific
areas of the City primarily for residential land uses. A total of 1,060 new acres will
be needed from outside the current MUSA area and the City limits. This assumes
an average density level of 3.3 units per acre.
Strategies
* Continue the annexation process of 989 gross acres from the Seed/Genstar
property in Empire Township over the next five years to accommodate the
projected growth of 27,090 by the year 2020. This newly annexed area will
provide opportunities for low density and some medium density development.
* Expand the existing MUSA line in the western, central and southern sections of
the City to allow for an additional 310 acres that will be used for residential
development.
* Develop architectural and design standards for all new residential developments.
* Plan medium and high-density development along or close to arterial streets.
* Plan for low-density developments in the interior areas of the neighborhood
districts.
* Prevent non-compatible land uses from developing adjacent to residential areas.
* Provide transitional areas, such as, office or multi-family developments to provide
a buffer from single family uses.
.
7. It is the policy of the City of Farmington to provide industrial land uses in order to
develop new industrial lands and a new business park within its boundary. It is
projected that a total of 496 acres will be needed by 2020 to adequately provide for
industrial based employment; with that, 307 acres of new industrial sites will be
needed, the focus of these sites will be arranged and concentrated along the
intersection of County Road 50 and Pilot Knob Rd.
Strategies
* Maintain the existing 189 acres of industrial uses in the downtown area and along
CSAH 50.
* Extend the existing light industrial areas along the north side of CSAH 50 to west
of Pilot Knob in order to meet some of the demand for 307 additional industrial
acres by 2020.
* Re-designate the existing industrial area south of CSAH 50 to a business park
designation to encourage a mix of complementary hi-tech, office and commercial
uses and a broader tax base.
* Provide for a total of 496 industrial and business park acres by the year 2020 to
meet the projected demand.
* Maintain the existing natural buffer of environmentally sensitive land between
these industrial areas and residential areas.

9. It is the policy of the City of Farmington to accommodate 98 acres of commercial
land use by 2020; 33 new acres will be needed.
Strategies
* Maintain and establish new neighborhood commercial centers along Pilot Knob
Rd. in the Central district and along Trunk Highway 3 adjacent to the growing
residential areas in the Northeastern district of the City. These new commercial
areas will support and complement future residential development and should be
attractive landscaped areas.
* Expand and strengthen the downtown commercial district and maintain its
function as the primary commercial district for the City.
10. It is the policy of the City of Farmington to plan specific areas of the City primarily
for commercial land uses. These areas are described as follows:
1. Downtown as an arts, cultural, service oriented and community commercial
center;
2. Neighborhood centers as convenience shopping areas in various
neighborhoods.
.
Strategies
* The Downtown commercial district should be extended along Third Street to the
Vermillion River. (For the downtown strategies see the previous sections.) Top
priority should be given to the downtown area when selecting shopping areas.
* Maintain and upgrade the existing commercial district along Pilot Knob Road
between 182nd St. and Elk River Trail.
* Establish a new neighborhood-serving commercial district at Pilot Knob Road and
195th St. in the North Central District.
11. It is the policy of the City of Farmington to develop neighborhood commercial
centers in its neighborhoods that reflect a small town character.
Strategies
*
Neighborhood centers should complement and support adjacent neighborhoods.
Permit only commercial uses that are neighborhood serving and meet everyday
needs, such as a grocery store, coffee shop, hardware store, newspaper vendors,
drugstore, video store, personal services and the like.
The scale and character of these centers should be pedestrian-oriented and affirm
the small town character of Farmington.
Design development standards to re-inforce the small town pedestrian- oriented
character. These standards should include items, such as, differentiated and
articulated facade treatments, signage controls, public space/gathering places,
ample landscaping, trees and outdoor seating features.
The building orientation should encourage and attract the pedestrian. The parking
areas should be accessible but not at the expense of pedestrian comfort and safety.

NEIGHBORHOOD PLANNING DISTRICTS
The 2020 Land Use Plan has been divided into six separate districts as illustrated on Map
3.2 in order to discuss each district in detail. The districts include the North Central,
North East, Central, IndustriallBusiness Park, Downtown and West Rural districts.
District 1- North Central
This district is located in the north central portion of the City and contains a large
percentage of fully developed low-density residential along with areas for expansion of
the low-density residential land use as illustrated on Map 3.3. Pockets of medium to
high-density residential surround a relatively small commercial area. The commercial
area is located between Upper 182nd Street and Elk River Trail on the east side of CSAH
31. Dakota County Estates consists of existing low-medium density residential and the
land use is proposed to expand to the east to the North Branch floodplain. City parks,
natural open spaces and a school make up the remaining land uses within District 1.
Additional low-density residential is proposed to the west of the current MUSA line and
is proposed to culminate at the natural open space on the western border of District 1,
providing a natural border between developed and agricultural lands. This additional
land use pattern is consistent with existing land uses and attempts to maintain and
enhance the existing residential character of the district.
.
33
Land Use Element
Farmington 2020 Comprehensive Plan Update
The North Branch of the Vermillion River floodplain takes up most of the northeastern
portion of the district, eliminating the potential for development within the floodplain.
Developers in this area have obtained new floodplain information and show designations
of a smaller floodplain area; however, the City will only formally revise the floodplain
upon receipt of a letter of map revision from FEMA.
.
Medium-density is shown in the northeastern corner of the district, outside of the North
Branch floodplain and within the current MUSA area. This constitutes a portion of the
32% of multi-family housing stock required by the Livable Communities Act. The
property is landlocked at this time, however, with the potential for CR 60 on the north or
an accessway to the west crossing the North Branch, the proposed location of medium-
density residential next to the CP rail line is possible.
The southeastern corner of the district consists of low-density residential, natural open
space and City parkland. The strip of land on the east side of Limerock Ridge showing
natural open space coincides with the City's vision of maintaining natural features. In
this case, an existing twenty-percent slope consisting of oak and hardwood trees will
remain undeveloped in order to meet this vision. The wetland area to the east will also be
preserved and parts of the wetland area may become City parkland as shown on the
eastern border of the district.

Farmington 2020 Comprehensive Plan Update
District 2 - North East
This district is currently not within the City limits (see Map 3.4); however, the State of
Minnesota Municipal Board approved an orderly annexation agreement between
Farmington and Empire Township in May of 1999. The district consists of 989 gross
acres of land and with the approval of the orderly annexation agreement, the property will
be annexed into the City sometime after the year 2001. The property currently resides in
agricultural preserve and this designation will expire in the year 2001.
The Metropolitan Council requires that comprehensive plans illustrate land that has
already been annexed into the City at the time of plan review by the Metropolitan
Council or there is an orderly annexation agreement between the City and Empire
Township.
The City determined the following reasons for illustrating growth in this location:
The owner (Seed Family) desires to develop the property in the future.
The Seed property is adjacent to Trunk Highway 3, which is an under-utilized traffic
corridor and will provide existing access to a minor arterial roadway.
Dakota County has proposed the location of County Road 60 to be north of the City
limits, creating a highly desired east-west corridor from 1-35 to Trunk Highway 3.
Therefore, major traffic corridors will be located on the north and east boundaries of
the Seed property providing adequate corridors for moving traffic.
An existing 48" trunk sanitary sewer interceptor line is located within the proposed
property. However, the line would need to be extended to the east under the existing
rail line to serve the eastern portion of the property.
The Water Distribution Plan proposes a 16" water line along with an underground
water storage tank within the Seed property.
The Surface Water Management Plan shows the need for ponding areas along North
Creek and the rail line. These areas are required to meet the Surface Water
Management Plan.
7. A wetland plan shows a large wetland area along North Creek on the western side of
the rail line. A wetland boundary survey is required at the time of development.
These areas will provide natural habitats as well as require the need for clustering
developments throughout the Seed property creating a variety of land uses.
8. The vision of providing an agricultural buffer on the western side of the City adjacent
to the City of Lakeville will be met by showing growth on the Seed property and
fulfilling the 753 acres of residential land needed by the year 2020.
9. The vision of connecting the northern portion of the City to the southern portion will
be fulfilled because the Seed property is located closer to the central core of the City
as opposed to proposing growth in the northwest corner and creating no connection
between the north and the south.
Therefore, it is important to note that the Seed property annexation will not create an
increase in the amount of projected growth in the City, it will only shift where that
growth will occur. The 2020 Land Use Plan will reflect the Seed annexation in order to
35
Land Use Element
Farmington 2020 Comprehensive Plan Update
set aside the 753 acres of residential development in this location, thereby, preserving the
northwest corner of the City for agricultural use to the year 2020.
.
The district offers a variety of land use choices because of the existing rolling topography
and the accessibility potential from Trunk Highway 3 on the eastern border, the proposed
roadways of CSAH 60 on the northern border and County Road 64 on the southern
border forming boundaries of the property on the north and south respectively.
A large portion of the district is proposed for low-density residential as illustrated on Map
3.4. Medium-density residential and business designations are also shown within the
district, however, these are considered "floating zones" at this time, because of the
pending outcome of the orderly annexation agreement. The "floating zones" are being
shown in areas where potential transportation access will occur and along the rail line
where medium-density residential uses can provide a buffer between low-density
residential and the CP rail line.
The final land use is the natural open space that consists of the North Branch and its
floodplain. This use will assist in buffering the low and medium-density residential areas
from the rail line and will provide natural areas for walking trails and passive recreation.
The business area is located along Trunk Highway 3 and the proposed location of County
Road 60 because of the accessibility potential in this area. The land use wiil only support
smaller neighborhood business uses and will not detract from the downtown business
area. This area will provide convenience-type services that may be accessed by walking
or through short vehicle trips.

Farmington 2020 Comprehensive Plan Update
District 3 - Central
This district consists of a wide variety of land uses as illustrated on Map 3.5. The district
primarily consists of natural open spaces and a City park. The natural open space
involves much of the Middle Creek drainage way on the southwestern portion of the
district along with drainage ways from the north connecting to Middle Creek. A large
wetland feature located in the center of the district has been designated as a protected
wetland.
The low-density residential areas consist of fully developed areas as well as proposed
low-density land uses. The Pine Knoll and Riverside Estates neighborhoods are almost
completely built-out along with the larger residential lots that run along the east side of
Akin Road. The proposed low-density areas are shown in the northwestern and central
portions of the district. These areas provide a wide range of topography including rolling
hills and steep slopes and also consist of large masses of existing tree stands.
Additional low-density residential is located outside of the existing MUSA line on the
western edge of the district and culminates at the natural open space area between
potential developed areas and the existing agricultural lands to the west.
.
The medium and high-density residential uses are shown along major thoroughfares for
access needs. Medium-density residential is adjacent to a neighborhood business
designation and high-density residential surrounds the City's central maintenance facility
location. Independent School District 192 has stated that they desire medium to high-
density residential uses to be located within a reasonable walking distance to nearby
schools to reduce the need for busing students in close proximity to the school locations.
The restricted development land use designation on the eastern side of the district relates
to the vision of preserving natural areas, while creating passive and active recreational
areas and utilizing its location as a central community gathering point between the
northern and southern sections of the City. The area may be utilized as a residential golf
course community, a multi-user trail system, a small lake or a community center to
provide recreational, social and residential opportunities for the City.
.
37
Land Use Element
Farmington 2020 Comprehensive Plan Update
.
District 4 - Industrial/Business Park
This district consists of two major land uses including industrial designations and a new
designation identified as the business park as illustrated on Map 3.6.
The industrial land use within this district consists of existing uses as well as proposed
areas that are currently vacant. All of the industrial land uses reside north of CSAH 50
and extend west of the future CSAH 31. The original designation of industrial uses was
bounded by Akin Road on the east and the future CSAH 31 on the west. Additional
industrial land is proposed along the west side of CSAH 31 to meet the needs of 303
acres of industrial land use needed to the year 2020. The accessibility to CSAH 31 and
50 is a logical location for this type of land use.
The business park land use is a new designation within the City of Farmington. The
business park will offer a variety of opportunities for start-up businesses, high-tech
offices, high-tech industries, hotels and restaurants within its proposed boundaries. This
area will be developed based upon a master plan that will illustrate how various uses will
work compatibly with each other in this area.
Most likely, the high-tech offices, hotels and restaurants will be located in the southern
portion of the district near the Vermillion River corridor. This area will require increased
architectural and landscape standards and can utilize the Vermillion River corridor as a
natural trail system for recreational opportunities connected to the offices and hotels as
well as the utilization of the scenery for restaurants and hotels. The northern portion of
the business park area could be utilized for commercial spaces as well as high-tech
industrial or start-up businesses.
.
It is important to note that this entire area will be crucial for the enhanced appearance and
progressive future for the City. Architectural elements will need to be increased as well
as landscaping standards and a well-planned interior roadway system must be designated
within the area, all combined to provide a functional and aesthetically pleasing
atmosphere. The area can also become the cornerstone for attracting major industrial and
business companies to the City.

Farmington 2020 Comprehensive Plan Update
District 5 - Downtown
This district consists of the original downtown of Farmington as well as recently
developed areas such as East Farmington, Bristol Square and Glenview Townhomes.
Once again, the district constitutes a variety ofland uses as illustrated on Map 3.7, the
most prominent being the low/medium-density residential land use comprising most of
the single-family homes in close proximity to the downtown business area. Additional
low/medium~density is located within the East Farmington development because of the
existing and proposed 6,000 square foot lot configuration.
The existing business district is proposed to be expanded to the north along Third Street
to the Vermillion River and will provide additional land area for potential business uses.
The business designation is also proposed to expand to the east and west along Elm Street
and will re-designate existing low-density residential into business uses. The business
designation in these locations is for the purpose of expanding the business center in order
to maintain the downtown business district, provide accessibility to the uses and
redevelop older residential property to business uses.
.
The pockets of industrial land designations within the downtown area have been
decreased due to the need for expansion of the business district and expansion of medium
to high -density residential areas in the district. The industrial designation between Main
and Pine Streets has been re-designated to high-density residential and business uses
because of the need for redevelopment of either older homes or business in this location.
The new designations of high-density residential and business are compatible with the
existing industrial uses due to the density and characteristics of each new designation in
this area.
Vacant property within the current MUSA includes the property south of CSAH 66 that is
proposed for business along TH 3, medium-density along CSAH 66, high-density
adjacent to the business use and low-density at the eastern portion of the site. Other
vacant property within the current MUSA includes the remainder of the East Farmington
Development.
Property outside of the current MUSA line includes medium-density designations along
TH 3 and south of Dakota Electric along Denmark Avenue.

District 6 - West Rural
.
This district contains most of the agricultural lands within the community as illustrated
on Map 3.8. The district relates to the vision to maintain and enhance the existing rural
character of the City and provide a buffer of open space between the developed City of
Farmington and the City ofLakeville.
The district will be maintained as working farms and is designated as agricultural/urban
reserve. The urban reserve areas will not be developed until after the 2020 time frame,
however, the owners of property in this area wanted to have the opportunity to develop
their property in densities of 1 unit per 10 acres if City infrastructure was available to the
property.
On page 51 of the Metropolitan Council's Regional Blueprint, it states the following:
"provisions for residential densities greater than one unit per 40 acres is
acceptable if the development will be clustered. Such clusters will be
considered temporary until full urbanization occurs around them. Local
plans and ordinances will need to require that the temporary clusters be
connected to central sewer and other city services when they become
available and that the temporary clusters be designed and laid out in
accordance with local subdivision regulations, including dedication of
future utility and infrastructure easements."
.
However, densities such as this will be limited in this urban reserve area.
The vision statements for the City determined that this district would remain in
agriculture and was unsuitable for growth at this time because of the following reasons:
I. The owners of property in this part of the City have indicated a desire to keep it as an
agricultural use.
2. Flagstaff Avenue would require an extensive and costly upgrade to the City's
transportation system considering the condition of the existing roadway and the need
to upgrade the entire road (to CR 50) to a collector status as proposed in the
Thoroughfare Plan.
3. A IS" sewer line is proposed for this area, however, the nearest connection for the
trunk sanitary sewer facility would be at 19Sth Street at the northern edge of the
Charleswood development.
4. The Water Distribution Plan proposes a 20" water line along with an underground
water storage tank in this area. A 16" water line has been constructed at the western
edge of Pine Ridge Forest and provides a readily accessible connection for water
services in this area.
5. The Surface Water Management Plan indicates ponding in the southeastern portion of
the area. These areas are required to meet the Surface Water Management Plan.

6. The Wetland Map illustrates a wetland area on the east side of Flagstaff Avenue. The
map also shows a greenway along the eastern portion of the area. A wetland
boundary survey is required at the time of development.
7. The vision of providing an agricultural buffer on the western side of the City to the
year 2020 would be fulfilled if the 753 acres of residential development is proposed
elsewhere in the City.
The strongest argument for maintaining this district as agricultural is illustrated by the
property owners living in the district. Some of the landowners hold large acres of land
and expressed their desire to continue farming in this area. An additional argument
consists of the lack of adequate transportation routes and available sanitary sewer in this
area. The fmal argument consists of the City's vision to maintain and preserve working
farms within the City while providing a natural buffer to the west.

SUBJECT:
Park & Rec Building - Status Report
DATE:
August 24, 2006
The EDA is the owner of a building located behind Subway and the former downtown liquor store. It is
commonly referred to as the "Park & Rec building" or the "old Parks building." It is a two-story brick
and concrete block structure that in recent years has been used primarily for the overnight and weekend
parking of City vehicles (Engineering, Building Inspections and Park & Rec) and for the storage of City
files and records.
A few weeks ago, some sheetrock and insulation fell from the ceiling and landed on one of the parked
vehicles during the night (no significant damage to the vehicle resulted). The sheetrock had apparently
become damaged and weakened due to a roof leak, which was caused by some missing and/or damaged
shingles. City staff cleaned up the material that had fallen, and determined that the building could once
again be safely used for vehicle parking. The roof appears to be leaking in only one location, and now that
the sheetrock directly under that leak is gone, any water that comes through the roof simply falls to the
concrete floor below and either runs to a floor drain or seeps through cracks in the concrete. This
situation is tolerable during warm weather, but will have to be resolved before winter. The present
condition of the building raises both short-term and long-term issues.
Short-term issues: City staff members believe that steps should be taken to ensure that the building
can be used through the upcoming winter. Parking City vehicles inside during the winter makes them
easier to start and eliminates the need to clean off ice and snow every morning. Keeping the vehicles out
of the municipal parking lot also makes it easier to plow the lot after a snowfall. In the past, snowplow
drivers had to plow around the City vehicles, and then return later to plow again after the vehicles had
been moved. Staff members are in the process of obtaining quotes or estimates for the cost of repairing or
replacing shingles in the area of the existing leak, and in any other areas that appear likely to leak during
the winter. There is no plan to reshingle the entire roof; the objective is simply to protect the interior
from the elements at the lowest possible cost. Quotes are also being obtained for replacing the sheetrock
that is missing from the ceiling, which is apparently a building code (fire safety) requirement. It is
anticipated that the price quotes will be available for the EDA members to review at their meeting in
September.
Lonl!-term issues: Although the building is handy for parking and storage, its age and condition
suggest that it will continue to need repair work from time to time. It may have exceeded its useful life,
and the EDA may not want to continue to expend funds on it after the upcoming winter. City staff
members are in the process of obtaining quotes or estimates for the potential demolition of the building in
the spring or summer of2007. That information should also be available for the EDA's review in
September. In the meantime, staff will also examine alternate uses of the site (additional parking for
nearby businesses, for example). Staff will also explore options for dealing with the 60-80 boxes of City
records that are currently being stored in the building, such as scanning them to create electronic records.
RECOMMENDED ACTION: None at this time. Informational or discussion item only.

EDA-Owned Lot in Industrial Park (Regan Proposal)
DATE:
August 23, 2006
All ofthe lots in Phases One and Two ofthe Farmington Industrial Park were originally platted
and owned by the EDA's predecessor, the Farmington lIRA. Only one EDA-owned lot remains
unsold - a 3.4 acre lot located to the northeast of Just Kidding Around Daycare and Preschool
(see attached map). The lot has been on the market for several years, and it has been shown to a
number of prospective purchasers. The primary factors that seem to be affecting its
marketability include the following:
1.
It is encumbered by a gas pipeline easement that runs along the entire southern
boundary of the lot.
Its primary access will eventually be a north/south road that will run along the eastern
boundary ofthe parcel. However, that road does not currently exist, and a specific
date for its construction has not yet been determined. In the meantime, the only
roadway access to the parcel would be via a "panhandle" in the southeast comer of
the lot. The purchaser would need to construct a driveway over this panhandle in
order to get to 20Sth Street, and that driveway would have to be abandoned when the
planned north/south road is completed (because the driveway entrance would be too
close to the new road's intersection with 20Sth Street).
The lot is irregularly shaped, which creates challenges with regard to the placement of
a structure on the site.
2.
3.
Mr. Patrick Regan recently made a proposal to City staff regarding the lot in question. He would
like to acquire the lot and move an existing structure onto the site. The structure to be moved is
a 12,000 square foot building that is currently located on the former Marschall Lines bus garage
property (located east of Highway 3 and south ofthe American Legion). As you know, a few
years ago Mr. Regan moved the entire Marschall Lines operation to the former Duo Plastics site
(located north ofCSAH 50 and west of Phase One of the Farmington Industrial Park).
Mr. Regan has indicated that he would agree to the following with regard to any relocation ofthe
building in question:
1.
The use of the building and the property would be consistent with the existing zoning.
His current plan is to use the building and property for bus garage storage and/or
other activities related to the nearby Marschall Lines operations.
3.
The building would comply with the applicable design standards. Mr. Regan plans to
construct a foundation and some short masonry walls, place the existing building's
framework on top of these new walls (in part, to elevate the ceiling and door heights
to create more interior space), and then replace the existing exterior wall surfaces
with materials allowed under the design standards (Hardiplank, presumably).
The requirements of the City Code and/or the design standards regarding
landscaping and screening would be followed. Mr. Regan has indicated an intention
to place a fence (or a combination of fencing and vegetative screening) along the
south side of the property.
Mr. Regan would pay the same type(s) of City development fees (surface water
management fees, etc.) that have been paid by other recent Industrial Park
developers (Karrmann, Aerospace, Vinge).
.
2.
4.
Some of the perceived advantages of Mr. Regan's proposal are:
1. The EDA and the City Council have shown a consistent interest in emphasizing the
"business attraction, expansion and retention" component of the City's overall economic
development efforts. Marschall Bus Lines is a business that was "attracted" to
Farmington from [what was then] Empire Township. Acquiring the EDA lot would
enable Mr. Regan to expand his operation at a convenient nearby location, and his ability
to do so will ultimately heir the City retain his business in Farmington.
2. The lot's proximity to 208t Street will make it an excellent "satellite" location for school
bus operations when the entire length of 20Sth Street (from Highway 3 on the east to
Cedar Avenue on the west) is completed. The Middle Schools are currently adjacent to
20Sth Street, and a planned extension of20Sth Street will eventually border the new High
School site on the north. .
3. Removing the building in question from the former bus garage property will provide that
site's tenant (Mobile Mini-Storage, a Fannington business) with additional open space
for the storage of its containers, thereby furthering the business expansion and retention
objectives noted in Paragraph #1 above.
4. Removing the building from the Mobile Mini-Storage site will create a clear path for the
southerly extension of a City sewer line from the Hometown Addition to the two
buildings on the former bus garage property that are currently served by on-site septic
systems. The extension of that line will also enable the City to potentially provide sewer
service to the Bugbee residence, which is located adjacent to the western boundary of the
former bus garage property, and which currently has a failing septic system.
s. Discussing the lot in question with a succession of potential purchasers over the last few
years has been time-consuming. Transferring ownership of this last remaining EDA-
owned Industrial Park lot would "complete" Phase Two of the Industrial Park and enable
the EDA and City staffto shift additional time and attention to other economic
development efforts and projects.
Financial details regarding the possible transfer of the lot to Mr. Regan have yet to be worked
out. Mr. Regan, Marschall Lines staff and City staff want to begin by determining whether
the EDA supports the concept of allowing an existing building to be moved onto the site.
RECOMMENDED ACTION: Approve the concept of moving an existing building onto
the lot in question, subject to the conditions referred to herein, and direct staffto continue to .
work with Mr. Regan to finalize details regarding his proposed acquisition ofthe lot.
