G reat Oaks A cademy Review
G reat O aks A cademy is a tuion-free, classical charter s chool built on the pillars of Rigor, L iterature,
Wonder, and V irtue. The school is deeply commi7ed to building a school with rigorous academics , high
expectaons , and a strong emphas is on developing character while encouraging each student's natural
s ense of w onder at the w orld.
The mis s ion of G reat O aks A cademy is to provide students w ith a clas s ical, liberal arts educaon that is
rigorous, literature-rich, wonderous, and virtuous. The vis ion is to graduate young adults w ho:
A re fully prepared for the rigors of college and career
Value truth, beauty, and goodness
Pos s ess a lifelong passion for learning
A re acve parcipants in their communies
Recogniz e the value of their contribuons
A ccording to the school's 2021-2022 A nnual Report, the enrollment of the school for the 2021-2022
s chool year w as 188 students in kindergarten through 5th grade. The report indicates up to 316 s tudents
enrolled in 2022-2023 in kindergarten through 6th grade. Enrollment projecons for the s chool s how s
an increas e in enrollment to 365 students (k-7th) in 2023-2024, 463 students (k-8th) in 2024-2025, and
515 s tudents (k-9th) in 2025-2026. The 2021-2022 A nnual Report also indicates that the school had a
s taff of 29 people.
D I S C U S S I O N
G reat O aks A cademy is requesng approval to amend a previous ly approved condional use permit to
allow the expans ion of a C harter S chool at the property located at 115 Elm S treet. The P roperty is
currently ow ned by Farmington 115, L L C (Wellington Management C ompany). The property is within the
B-2 (D ow ntow n Busines s ) Zoning D istrict and schools are lis ted as condional us es.
A s s how n on the a7ached s ite plan and floor plans the proposed expans ion cons is ts of 4 components ,
they are:
1. The interior renovaon of the northern mos t poron of the exis ng s chool building currently
occupied by @Bat. This includes converng the space into 3 addional classrooms and
res trooms .
2. The interior renovaon of the exisng strip center on the eas t s ide of the s ite. This renovaon
w ould largely consist of 8 middle school clas s rooms , cafeteria, office space, s cience room, art room
and restrooms.
3. Building addion to the northeas t s ide of the exisng strip center. The addion includes a lobby
area, restrooms, s torage areas and an approximately 5,200 square foot gymnas ium. A s previously
menoned, the property is z oned B-2 (D owntown Bus iness) and the propos ed addion meets all
s etback and lot coverage requirements in the B-2 z one.
4. Removal of porons of the exis ng parking lot to create a courtyard to the s outh of the propos ed
gymnas ium addion along with adding greenspace on the s outhern end of the exisng strip center
building adjacent to the right-of-way of Elm S treet.
City Code requires one parking stall be provided for each clas s room plus one parking stall per every 30
s tudents. The use as propos ed (school) would require 34 off-s treet parking stalls . The property currently
has 229 off-s treet stalls w ithin its boundary. W ith the proposed building expansion and addion of
greens pace menoned above this would remove 33 off-street parking s paces from this s ite. I f the plan
w ere to be cons tructed as propos ed a total of 196 off-s treet parking stalls w ould be remaining on s ite. I t
is ancipated that with the proposed expans ion the total s chool enrollment w ill increase to over 500
s tudents. O ff-street parking on s ite is sufficient to accommodate the propos ed use.
W ith that being said, please note, that being the s ite is zoned B-2 (D ow ntow n Busines s ) it is exempt from
the aforemenoned parking s tandards per code.
A n updated traffic study w as performed for this condional use permit applicaon (s ee a7ached). The
s tudy indicated that the addion of M iddle S chool traffic w ill increase the school related site traffic from
179 entering trips and 165 exing trips to 226 entering trips and 218 exing trips during the more intense
A M peak.

City of Farmington Planning Commission,
Thank you for your serious consideration of Great Oaks Academy’s pending Conditional Use Permit (CUP)
application.After thorough review of the Staff Report of our application,as outlined in the Planning
Commission March 14th meeting agenda,it is our firm understanding that approval of our application shall be
granted.Per the Staff Report,our application clearly meets the six (6)criteria listed for CUP application
approval.The Report also states that,“As outlined in City Code,a conditional use shall be approved if it is
found to meet”these stated criteria.
As also stated in the Report,the school’s use of the property is a qualified conditional use within the B-2
zoning district.Our application is merely to amend a previously granted CUP for Great Oaks Academy.
Per your request,we are also providing additional information in support of our CUP application.As discussed
in the March 14th Planning Commission meeting,the school’s expansion will involve the necessary relocation
of four businesses in the retail strip mall.Although we cannot legally provide financial assistance to these
businesses,we can provide a clear timeline for our expansion process and reasonable flexibility regarding the
timing of relocation.
Note:The dates listed below assume our CUP application is approved at the April 11th Planning Commission meeting.
Key Dates:
April 12,2023:Great Oaks Academy will formally commence the bonding process.
June 30,2023:Great Oaks Academy ’s affiliated building company will close on the bond and purchase the
property.(This date is pending market conditions but is a very realistic target).The affiliated
building company will take over as the lease holder for the four businesses.
July 1,2023:Great Oaks Academy ’s design team (LHB)will commence design of the retail strip mall
conversion and the gymnasium addition.
Late Fall 2023:Construction will begin on the new gymnasium building addition on the west side of the
north end of the retail strip mall.(Exact start date will depend on design progress and
material lead times).This construction will not affect the four businesses.
June 1,2024:Construction will begin on the renovation of the retail strip mall.
Sep 2024:Construction will be complete.
Upon acquisition of the property by Great Oaks Academy’s affiliated building company,the four businesses
will be notified of the need to relocate by May 31,2024.This will provide them with 11 months of formal
notice,in addition to 2-3 months of communication prior to property acquisition.At no point during this
13–14-month time period will they be given notice to relocate by an earlier date.We are committed to giving
the four businesses as much flexibility as possible.
Sincerely,
Great Oaks Academy

S U B J EC T:Request for a C omprehens ive P lan A mendment to re-guide P I D : 14-82500-00-040
from Park/O pen S pace to Low D ensity Residen,al
DATE:A pril 11, 2023
I N T R O D U C TI O N
Jacob S teen (applicant), on behalf of Kerry H anifl (property owner), has applied for a C omprehens ive
P lan A mendment to re-guide P I D : 14-82500-00-040 (s ubject parcel) from Park/O pen S pace to Low
D ens ity Res iden,al.
D I S C U S S I O N
Background
At the February 14th mee,ng, the P lanning Commission reviewed a sketch plan for a subdivis ion at
19927 A kin Road that included the subject parcel. The s ketch plan called for the combina,on of the tw o
parcels and then subdividing the combined parcel into three s eparate buildable lots.
S taff noted the s ubject parcel was guided for Park/O pen S pace in the 2040 C omprehens ive P lan and an
amendment would be neces s ary before the land could be combined and s ubdivided for residen,al lots .
The applicant has decided to move forw ard w ith the process and is reques,ng the Comprehensive P lan
A mendment. S taff would like to note this reques t does not include the actual subdivis ion of the land, but
the sketch plan is a<ached for reference.
Review
The subject parcel is 3.24 acres and is heavily wooded w ith s teep s lopes. I t borders Vermillion G rove Park
to the wes t and 19927 A kin Road to the eas t. I t w as pla<ed as "O utlot D " in the Vermillion G rove
s ubdivision in 2001 and w as obtained by the property owner of 19927 A kin Road. There is a drainage and
u,lity eas ement over the en,re parcel.
The subject parcel is currently z oned L ow D ens ity Res iden,al but is guided for Park/O pen S pace in the
2040 Comprehensive P lan. 19927 A kin Road is currently z oned L ow D ens ity Res iden,al and is guided for
Low D ensity Residen,al in the 2040 C omprehens ive P lan. G iven the subject parcel is now privately
ow ned by the adjacent property (19927 A kin Road) and not a part of the w etland/open s pace area in
Vermillion G rove Park, s taff s upports the requested Comprehensive P lan A mendment. The amendment
w ill align the subject parcel w ith 19927 A kin Road in terms of zoning and its future land us e des igna,on,
even if the applicant decides not to move forw ard w ith the subdivis ion proces s .
S taff has forw arded the requested Comprehensive P lan A mendment to adjacent jurisdic,ons for review
and comment as required by the M etropolitan C ouncil. I f the C omprehens ive P lan A mendment is
approved by the P lanning C ommis s ion and C ity C ouncil, the amendment will be s ent to the Metropolitan
Council for final approval.
A C T I O N R EQ U E S T E D
Recommend the C ity C ouncil approve the reques ted C omprehens ive P lan A mendment and a<ached
res olu,on to re-guide P I D : 14-82500-00-040, legally described as "O utlot D, Vermillion G rove" from
