Councilmember Lien: If, over the weekend, you heard a lot of whistles going at
the High School and Dodge Middle School, that was the Farmington Youth
Lacrosse Association. It’s called the Viking Goat Tournament with four age
brackets, 8U through 14U, boys and girls on both sides, so ten total tournament
brackets. Farmington won five of them. Best turnout in years for the Farmington
team, so congratulations to all those teams.
Councilmember Bernatz: School gets out this week, which means lots of
additional humans all over the place again. Many of them are going to be
gallivanting through trails, and across parks, and doing all that crazy stuff. So, if
you are out and about and in a vehicle or other modes of transportation, just
be mindful of the little ones, and the bigger ones, that are enjoying their summer
so we can stay incident free through the summer and keep everybody safe.
Councilmember Cordes: Tomorrow is my wedding anniversary, and I know my
wife is watching at home. So, happy anniversary, Bridget.
Director Chanski: If Chief Siem were still here, I would say congratulations to
Nate. It’s been good to work with him as Deputy Chief for the last three months,
and I’m looking forward to working with him for many years as Chief.
To the Council, I do want to say thank you for putting your confidence in me to
serve as your Interim City Administrator following Lynn’s departure on July 1st.
Obviously, we still have a lot of work to do even without Lynn, but I know I have
a great Team here. I know, together, we are going to keep the needle moving
Page 12 of 107
Regular City Council Meeting Minutes of June 2, 2025 Page 4 of 5
here in Farmington, and I look forward to seeing what decisions you make on
a permanent Administrator.
Director Powell: I, also, look forward to working with Chief Siem. We were
blessed to have Chief Rutherford here, and I think this is a continuation. They
won’t be the same, but I think we’re getting another fantastic Chief.
We had our pre-construction neighborhood meeting for the 2025 Street
Improvements about a week or week and a half ago. We had 23 residents
attend. Fantastic questions. At those pre-construction meetings, we have the
contractor, their foreman, and the inspector there so residents can meet them
before things start happening on site. The trees have been taken out, but they
start construction in earnest – June 23rd is their expected start date with that.
Union Pacific has finalized their schedule for doing work at the crossings on Ash
Street and Elm Street. They project that they will be working on Ash Street
starting this Thursday with some pavement removal and those crossings will be
closed during the weekend. So, Ash Street this coming weekend and then Elm
Street the following weekend. This has been a moving target from a schedule
standpoint but if I get new information, I will be sure to pass that along and get
it on the website.
Director Omlid: We’ve talked over the years that we live in a very, very
generous and giving community. On the consent agenda this evening, you
approved four donation resolutions – three of the, alone, to the Rambling River
Center. One from Happy Harry’s, Farmington VFW, the Veteran’s Steak Fry, and
Marlene Swantek. Thank you to all those people for their generous donations to
our Senior Center. And the TC Running Company out of Burnsville for their gift
cards to the Tater Trot.
Speaking of the Tater Trot, you too, can get this t-shirt designed by our own
Recreation Supervisor, Emilee Shearer. All you have to do is register for the Trot.
It is Saturday, June 28th, right here at City Hall. We will be taking race day
registration.
Since Barb did a shameless plug for Miss Amy, I will do a shameless plug for our
Fire Chief Price. He is also a contestant in Kiss the Pig, and I have definitely heard
that he wants to kiss the pig. So, I don’t know, Barb. It might be one or the other,
but we’ll find out who kisses the pig at 4 pm on Saturday, June 28th, under the
main stage.
This Saturday – Helmet Heroes, a collaboration between the Police Department
and Parks & Recreation, from 9 – 11 am at Farmington Lutheran Church parking
lot. As of this afternoon, we have 54 kids registered. So, 54 kids in our community
Page 13 of 107
Regular City Council Meeting Minutes of June 2, 2025 Page 5 of 5
will be fitted and receive new bike helmets. There is a shelf life on bike helmets,
so we’re happy to put helmets on their heads. If anybody wants to do a short
ride afterwards, I’d be happy to have someone trail behind me.
Rambling River Center – we are having a meeting on Wednesday. We’re
hoping for a punch list on Friday. We are getting very, very close to completion
of that project, which we’re definitely looking forward to.
I also want to congratulate Chief Siem. Looking forward to continuing to work
with him – he’s going to do awesome.
Chief Price: I got nothing, except I really don’t want to kiss the pig. Mayor: You
don’t want to kiss the pig, but you’ll do whatever you have to do to make sure
that the fundraising is successful, right? Chief Price agreed, and Mayor Hoyt
said you just issued the challenge to everyone else, and it sounds like Chief Price
wants to kiss the pig.
Mayor Hoyt: Thank you to everyone that attended on Friday to the State of the
City. A lot of information was shared there.
Friday is graduation and a huge event. If I recall correctly, this is the largest class
of the next eight or nine because of declining birth rates and whatever.
Weather is kind of on the edge right now as to whether it’s going to be inside
or out, but early congratulations to all this year’s graduates at Farmington Area
High School. Summer is almost here - it’s right around the corner. School is going
to be out, people are going to be active moving amongst the community, so
be attentive, pay special attention to the crosswalks, and those that are out on
their bikes and utilizing the trails through the park.

REGULAR COUNCIL AGENDA MEMO
To: Mayor, Councilmembers and City Administrator
From: Kim Sommerland, Finance Director
Department: Finance
Subject: Establish Public Hearing Date to Consider Adoption of Five-Year Street
Reconstruction Plan
Meeting: Regular Council - Jun 16 2025
INTRODUCTION:
As part of the process to issue General Obligation Street Reconstruction Bonds, the City must have
a Five-Year Street Reconstruction Plan approved by the City Council after holding a public hearing.
DISCUSSION:
Staff are recommending the issuance of bonds to partially fund street reconstruction projects over
the next five years. Project funding is proposed to come from a combination of General Obligation
Street Reconstruction Bonds and contributions from the water, sewer, and storm sewer funds.
Although a Five-Year Street Reconstruction Plan was approved last year, the resolution approving
the plan only referenced the 2024 project costs, rather than the full five-year program. As a result,
the City must restart the process, beginning with a new resolution calling for a public hearing on the
plan and proposed bond issuance. This has provided the opportunity to update and extend the
street reconstruction plan by one year, shifting the timeframe from 2024-2029 to 2025-2030.
State law requires a public hearing to be held on the proposed Five-Year Street Reconstruction
Plan and the associated issuance of bonds. Notice of the hearing must be published at least ten
days but no more than 28 days before the hearing date. The bond issuance is also subject to a
reverse referendum. If a petition is filed with the City Clerk within 30 days of the public hearing—
signed by voters equal to 5% of those who cast ballots in the most recent municipal general
election—an election must be held before the bonds can be issued.
Staff are requesting that the City Council set July 21, 2025 as the public hearing date to consider
the adoption of the Five-Year Street Reconstruction Plan and approve the issuance of bonds.
BUDGET IMPACT:
As bond sales are approved each year and until the bonds are fully repaid, the City Council will be
required to levy 105% of the scheduled principal and interest due on the bonds the following year.
ACTION REQUESTED:
Adopt Resolution 2025-041 Calling for a Public Hearing on the Proposal to Adopt a Five-Year
Street Reconstruction Plan and Issue General Obligation Bonds.

Five Year Street Reconstruction Plan
For Period of March 1, 2025 – March 1, 2030
I. Introduction
The City of Farmington (the “City”) historically has supported street maintenance and
reconstruction activities through a combination of allocations from its annual operating
budget and, when determined necessary, the sale of General Obligation Street
Reconstruction Bonds. Maintenance and reconstruction have included seal coating, mill
and overlay, complete reconstruction, and other such items incidental to the maintenance
of city streets. The City finds that it does not have the resources, without bond proceeds,
for reconstructing streets as quickly as required due to increased need for major
reconstruction projects. Due to this fact, the City plans to finance a portion of its street
reconstruction activities through the issuance of General Obligation Street Reconstruction
Bonds (the “Bonds”).
II. Statutory Authority and Requirements
Minnesota Statutes, Section 475.58, Subdivision 3b (the “Act”) authorizes Minnesota cities to
adopt a Street Reconstruction Plan (the “Plan”). The Plan covers a five-year period and sets
forth the streets to be reconstructed, estimated costs, and authorizes the issuance of the
Bonds.
The Bonds can be used to finance the reconstruction and bituminous overlay of existing city
streets. Eligible improvements may include turn lanes and other improvements having a
substantial public safety function, realignments, other modifications to intersect with state
and county roads, and the local share of state and county road projects. Except in the case
of turn lanes, safety improvements, realignments, intersection modifications, and the local
share of state and county road projects, street reconstruction does not include the portion of
project cost allocable to widening a street or adding curbs and gutters where none
previously existed. The Bonds are subject to a statutory debt limit.
The Act sets forth specific requirements for the issuance of the Bonds, which are as
follows:
The projects financed under this authority must be described in a street reconstruction
plan, as described above.
The City must publish notice of and hold a public hearing on the proposed plan and
the related issuance of the Bonds. The notice must be published at least 10 days but
not more than 28 days prior to the hearing date. The Plan and related issuance of the
Bonds must be approved by a vote of a two-thirds majority of the members of the
governing body present at the meeting following a public hearing.
Page 18 of 107
Five Year Street Reconstruction Plan
Page 3 of 5
The issuance of the Bonds is subject to a reverse referendum. An election is required if
voters equal to 5% of the votes cast in the last municipal general election file a petition
with the city clerk within 30 days of the public hearing. If the City decides not to
undertake an election, it may not propose the issuance of the Bonds for the same
purpose and in the same amount for a period of 365 days from the date of receipt of
the petition. If the question of issuing the Bonds is submitted and not approved by the
voters, the provisions of section 475.58, subdivision 1a, shall apply (no resubmission
for same purpose/amount for 180 days).
III. History and Existing Street Reconstruction Bonds
The City has the following Street Reconstruction Bonds (issued under Chapter 475)
outstanding as of the date of adoption of the Plan:
IV. Net Debt Limits
Minnesota Statutes Section 475.53, Subd. 1 states that no municipality, except a school
district or a city of the first class, shall incur or be subject to a net debt in excess of three
percent of the market value of taxable property in the municipality.
The Bonds issued under the Plan are subject to the net debt limit restriction described
above. The net debt capacity for the City at time of approval of the Plan is shown on the
following page under Statutory Debt Limit.
Bond Issues Amount Outstanding
$3,050,000 G.O. Bonds, Series 2015A $1,100,000

Page 4 of 5
Statutory Debt Limit1
Minnesota Statutes, Section 475.53 states that a city or county may not incur or be subject to a
net debt in excess of three percent (3%) of its estimated market value of taxable property. Net
debt is, with limited exceptions, debt paid solely from ad valorem taxes.
Computation of Legal Debt Margin as of April 2, 2025:
The Plan provides for the issuance of a General Obligation Street Reconstruction Bonds in
an amount not to exceed $8,000,000. The maximum amount of Bonds to be issued includes
estimated cost of issuances. The maximum amount of bonds to be issued is within the
City’s legal debt margin as of the date of adoption of the Plan.
V. Proposed Street Reconstruction and Cost Estimate
The Plan is detailed in Table A. The City reserves the right to adjust the amount of annual
spending between years and projects as long as the grand total amount included in the Plan
is not increased.
The City may use a combination of other city revenues and bond proceeds to finance the
Plan. The total Bonds to be issued to finance project costs may be less than the amount in
the Plan but shall not exceed the maximum authorized amount.
1 Effective June 2, 1997 and pursuant to Minnesota Statutes 465.71, any lease revenue or public project revenue bond
issues/agreements of $1,000,000 or more are subject to the statutory debt limit. Lease revenue or public project
revenue bond issues/agreements less than $1,000,000 are not subject to the statutory debt limit.

REGULAR COUNCIL AGENDA MEMO
To: Mayor, Councilmembers and City Administrator
From: Kim Sommerland, Finance Director
Department: Finance
Subject: Financial Review for the Quarter Ending March 31, 2025
Meeting: Regular Council - Jun 16 2025
INTRODUCTION:
Staff reviews the financial performance of the General Fund and several other funds with the City
Council quarterly. The statements for the first quarter are provided for your review.
DISCUSSION:
The following provides a summary of the General Fund and highlights notable items for the other
funds.
General Fund
The General Fund is the City’s primary operating account. The following will provide explanations
for the various revenue items and highlight the more significant expenditure variations.
Revenue
For 2025, budgeted General Fund revenues total $19,805,780 including transfers. During the first
quarter, the city recorded General Fund revenues totaling $2,741,034 or 13.84% of total budgeted
revenues.
Property taxes represent the majority of budgeted General Fund revenues. Property taxes are
generally payable by property owners in two installments, May and October, and collected by the
county. The City receives its share from the County in June and December.
The other types of revenues in the General Fund consist of licenses, permits, intergovernmental
revenue, charges for services, fines, investment income, franchise fees, rental income and
miscellaneous revenues.
Business license revenue includes fees collected for liquor, beer and wine, tobacco, and massage
licenses. Revenues from fees in the first quarter are $23,050, or 56.63% of budget, and are
comparable with the prior year.
Permit revenue includes, but is not limited to, building, plumbing, heating, electric, and right-of-way
permits. The revenue for the first quarter of 2025 totals $217,084, which is a slight increase from
Page 24 of 107
2024 levels of $207,778 for the same period.
Intergovernmental revenue includes Municipal State Aid (MSA) maintenance, Police and Fire aid,
and federal, state, and local grants. The City received the first half of the MSA maintenance funds
for 2025; the second half will be received in July. The majority of intergovernmental revenues have
yet to be received as they are normally received during the second half of the year.
Charges for services include revenue generated primarily from fees for fire, School Resource
Officer (SRO), and recreation services. Fees for fire protection of the City of Empire, Castle Rock
Township, and Eureka Township accounts for the largest portion of annual revenues. The decrease
in 2025 is due to a one-time billing adjustment in 2024 that brought Empire's account current —
rather than in arrears— resulting in multiple periods of revenue being recognized last year. In 2025,
billing continues on a current basis, so only one period of revenue is reflected, leading to a lower
year-over-year comparison. Public Works revenues were higher for the same period in 2024 due to
engineering fees from two residential developments, each set of fees exceeding $50,000. No
similar projects have been billed so far in 2025, contributing to this year's decrease. Parks and
recreation programs, which are primarily offered in the summer, currently show a slight decrease
from prior year revenues for the same period.
Investment income consists of investment earnings from the City’s portfolio and the annual mark-to-
market calculation to recognize the market value of the investment portfolio. The income amounts
are based on average monthly cash balances. Currently, investment income is trending higher than
2024 levels.
Rental revenue includes fees collected for the rental of the Rambling River Center (RRC), City Hall
space by the USDA, and the Fire Station space by Allina Health. Rental revenue at the end of the
first quarter is approximately $25,000 higher than the same period for 2024, primarily due to an
increase in USDA rent. This rent includes a base amount, a portion to cover operating costs such
as utilities, and reimbursement for building improvements made by the City in 2024.
Franchise fee revenue in the General Fund represents the transfer of a portion of the City’s
franchise fee revenue to the General Fund to help pay for City operations. The remainder of the
franchise fees are used to pay for the City’s cable operations. The payments are received quarterly,
with the first payment of the year received early in the second quarter.
Other revenue includes donations, sales of assets, and any other types of revenues that don’t fit
into a specific category.
Expenditures
Overall, 2025 General Fund expenditures, including transfers, are at 27.89% of budget for the first
quarter of the year.
Explanations are provided below for departments trending higher than budget.
Overall, the Police Department is just slightly over budget year-to-date. Within the department, the
Investigations division appears significantly over budget; however, this is due to salary costs that
were intended to be shifted entirely to Police Administration. Some salary and benefit expenses
were coded to the Investigations division due to an oversight in updating payroll allocation codes.
Emergency Management costs appear to be trending high due to a one-time fee paid at beginning
Page 25 of 107
of the year.
EDA, Park Improvement, and Arena
The EDA (Economic Development Authority), Park Improvement Fund, and Ice Arena activities
have historically been of interest to the City Council and are, therefore, included for review.
EDA
Revenues for the EDA include only interest income for the first quarter. Expenditures to date
primarily include annual membership fees and programming costs.
Park Improvement Fund
The Park Improvement Fund revenues to date consist primarily of interest income and budgeted
transfers.
Arena
Revenues for the arena are slightly higher than the same period last year, primarily due to
increased user fee collections. Expenditures are comparable to the prior year, with a minimal
increase driven by salary and benefit costs.
Enterprise Funds
The City operates five utility funds: liquor operations, sewer operations, storm water, water, and
street lighting.
Liquor Operations
The City evaluates its liquor operations using two financial benchmarks. The first is a gross profit
margin target of 25%, which was met by both stores in the first quarter. The second benchmark is a
net profit margin of 6%, calculated as profit as a percentage of total sales and assessed on a
combined basis. For the first quarter of the current year, the combined net profit margin was slightly
below 5%, compared to 6.66% in the first quarter of the previous year.
After each calendar year, Staff review the combined financial results of the two liquor stores,
determine the amount of funds needed to cover day-to-day operations and administrative transfers
to the General Fund. The remaining funds are divided evenly and transferred into the Community
Investment and Capital Improvement accounts. Each year, Staff utilizes actual financial results to
fund these four “pots”. Staff periodically make recommendations to the City Council on how to best
invest available dollars in the Community Investment pot to benefit the community. Meanwhile, the
capital improvement dollars are available for future liquor store capital building needs (e.g.,
remodeling, updating, relocation, possible building, etc.). The transfer is completed as part of the
audit process.
Sewer
Revenues for the Sewer Fund show a modest increase compared to 2024, driven by a rate
increase. Expenses have risen mainly because of higher permit fees.
Storm Water
Revenues have increased slightly as a result of a rate increase. Expenses for the Storm Water
Page 26 of 107
operation show a slight decrease compared to the same quarter last year. The prior year’s higher
expenses were primarily due to professional services incurred to complete an industrial park
drainage study.
Water
Revenue from water service charges is higher this year due to a rate increase. Other revenue was
higher in 2024 because of a reimbursement that did not occur in 2025. The decrease in expenses
in comparison to last year is mainly because water meter purchases were much lower than in 2024.
Streetlight
Revenue from streetlight fees is slightly higher than in 2024, while expenses are lower. The
reduced utility costs reflect the end of contracts for streetlight repairs and updates that increased
expenses last year.
BUDGET IMPACT:
Applicable budget impacts have been noted above.
ACTION REQUESTED:
Review and acknowledge the financial reports for the quarter ending March 31, 2025.

REGULAR COUNCIL AGENDA MEMO
To: Mayor, Councilmembers and City Administrator
From: David Chanski, Asst City Admin/HR Director
Department: HR
Subject: Creation of Police Captains and Revised Police Department Organizational Chart
Meeting: Regular Council - Jun 16 2025
INTRODUCTION:
Staff is seeking approval for the creation of two Captain positions within the Police Department that
would replace the existing Deputy Chief and Admin Sergeant positions.
DISCUSSION:
City Assistant with coordination in Siem, Chief Chief, Police to promotion his Following
Administrator/HR Director Chanski, evaluated the needs of the Police Department prior to filling the
now vacant Deputy Chief position. Upon review, he is recommending a reorganization of the
Department through the creation of two Captain positions, which would replace the Deputy Chief
and Admin Sergeant positions.
The Admin Captain would oversee the Records Staff and Investigations Division, as well as provide
leadership in areas such as department policies and procedures, budget management, training,
inter-agency relationships, and other administrative duties.
The Operations Captain would oversee the Patrol Division and Community Service Officers, as well
as provide leadership in areas such as training, fleet management, and emergency management.
Staff recommends that these non-union, exempt positions be placed on the D61 salary grid.
BUDGET IMPACT:
While this proposal does include the upgrading of an existing Sergeant position, Staff believes that
the budget impact with this change will be negligible as the Captains will be salaried positions, while
Sergeants are hourly and accrue overtime.
ACTION REQUESTED:
Approval of the proposed revised Police Department organizational chart and the creation of the
proposed Captain positions.

From: Kellee Omlid, Parks & Recreation Director
Department: Parks & Recreation
Subject: Purchase of Playground Equipment for Westview Acres Park
Meeting: Regular Council - Jun 16 2025
INTRODUCTION:
Staff requested proposals from four companies for the purchase and installation of new playground
equipment for Westview Acres Park. This is to replace the 5- to 12-year-old playground equipment
and swings. The 2- to 5-year-old play structure was replaced in 2007 and not needing to be
replaced at this time.
DISCUSSION:
On December 2, 2024, City Council approved in the 2025 Park Improvement Fund budget an
amount of $50,000 to replace the 5- to 12-year-old playground equipment and swings at Westview
Acres Park. The project included removal of existing playground equipment and swings to be
completed by Parks Maintenance Staff and purchase and installation of new playground equipment
and swings.
The Parks and Recreation Commission, at their February 12, 2025 meeting, discussed the new
playground equipment at Westview Acres Park and consensus was they weren’t interested in a
traditional play structure but preferred an obstacle / ninja course theme. Thus, Staff asked
companies to submit playground designs with an obstacle / ninja course theme and swings (2 belt,
1 bucket seat, and 1 accessible seat). Vendors could submit two proposals and were asked to keep
the cost for the purchase of the equipment, rubber swing mats, freight, and installation of the
playground equipment to approximately $60,000. The volatility in playground equipment and
installation over the last several years caused an increase in budget. Staff’s estimate of $50,000 for
the project was too low. All four companies submitted proposals to the City. Three of the companies
submitted two different options. The seven proposals ranged in cost from $60,000 to $65,570. With
the change from a traditional play structure to an obstacle / ninja course, this will require
construction of a new concrete border around the equipment which will be brought to City Council
for approval at a future meeting.
One of the Parks and Recreation Commission’s work plan goals for 2025 includes to “Participate in
Community Outreach and Engagement.” Thus, it was decided to engage students in selecting the
new playground equipment for Westview Acres Park. Director Omlid attended the Riverview
Elementary School Learner’s Showcase on May 22, 2025 to have the students vote on their two
preferred playgrounds. Commissioner Caron, Vice Chair McMillen, and Director Omlid visited with
students at Boeckman Middle School (BMS) on May 28, 2025. BMS students also voted on their
two preferred playgrounds. Students at both schools were given two stickers to place on their
Page 58 of 107
preferred playground(s). The results of the voting are included in the packet.
At its June 11, 2025 meeting, the Parks and Recreation Commission reviewed the seven proposals
submitted and student voting results. The Parks and Recreation Commission agreed with the
students and selected playground equipment that is manufactured by PlayPower LT, and sold by
Northland Recreation, which is located in Woodbury, Minnesota. The cost to purchase the
playground equipment including freight and installation is $65,570.32. The City currently has
several parks with PlayPower LT playground equipment. A picture showing the playground
equipment being proposed to purchase is attached.
The Parks and Recreation Commission is unanimously recommending to City Council to purchase
the playground equipment and swings including installation from Northland Recreation for Westview
Acres Park.
Attached is the Agreement which includes the quote for purchase and installation of the playground
equipment and swings.
BUDGET IMPACT:
The budgeted amount for the purchase and installation of the playground equipment was $50,000.
The Sourcewell contract price for the playground equipment, freight, and installation is $65,570.32.
The additional funds required to cover the difference will be from existing funds in the Park
Improvement Fund. As a reminder, monies in the Park Improvement Fund come from park
dedication and leases, farm transfers, liquor store fees development park fees, (formerly),
donations.
ACTION REQUESTED:
Approve the purchase of playground equipment including installation from Northland Recreation for
Westview Acres Park at a cost of $65,570.32 and amend the budget accordingly.

REGULAR COUNCIL AGENDA MEMO
To: Mayor, Councilmembers and City Administrator
From: Tony Wippler, Planning Manager
Department: Community Development
Subject: Resolution 2025-043 Approving the Final Plat - Farmington Industrial Park 4th
Addition
Meeting: Regular Council - Jun 16 2025
INTRODUCTION:
Ramar Land Corporation (R&L Carriers) is seeking final plat approval of the Farmington Industrial
Park 4th Addition. The subject property is addressed as 5260 208th Street W.
DISCUSSION:
The Farmington Industrial Park 4th Addition final plat consists of the replatting of Lots 1 and 2,
Block 1 Farmington Industrial Park 3rd Addition, and Outlots A and B, Farmington Industrial Park
3rd Addition into one single buildable lot (Lot 1, Block 1, Farmington Industrial Park 4th Addition -
see attached final plat).
The replatting of the parcels is necessary due to the building expansion that is proposed at the site
(see attached site plan). The proposed expansion consists of a 72,017 square foot terminal building
addition (108 doors) to the south of the existing building, the relocation and addition of stormwater
facilities to the northwest corner of the site, additional parking area to the west of the existing
terminal building, and a 3,178 square foot addition to the maintenance building. Building elevations
were not provided with the submittal. The applicant has indicated that the proposed expansion
footprint will match similarly to the existing building height and facade.
This development expansion and replatting will require the vacation of certain easements from the
Farmington Industrial Park 3rd Addition (see attached vacation exhibit). A public hearing for the
vacation of easements has been scheduled for the June 16, 2025 City Council meeting. New
easements will be dedicated with the Farmington Industrial Park 4th Addition final plat.
Being the property to be platted is adjacent to County Road 31 (Pilot Knob Road), the Farmington
Industrial Park 4th Addition plat is subject to the County's Contiguous Plat ordinance. The Dakota
County Plat Commission met on May 21, 2025 to review the Farmington Industrial Park 4th
Addition plat (see attached Plat Commission letter). The Plat Commission recommended approval
of the plat contingent upon it being revised to show restricted access along all of Pilot Knob Road.
A quit claim deed will have to be provided to Dakota County for this restricted access at time of
recording the plat mylars.
The final plat will have to be amended prior to recording to add a signature block for the Planning
Page 73 of 107
Commission Chair to the instrument of dedication. The signature block must read as follows:
CITY PLANNING COMMISSION, CITY OF FARMINGTON, COUNTY OF DAKOTA, STATE OF MINNESOTA
Approved by the Planning Commission of the City of Farmington, Minnesota this day of 20 .
Chair
Planning Commission Review
The Planning Commission reviewed the final plat at its June 10, 2025 regular meeting. The
Commission voted 3-0 to recommend approval of the final plat.
ACTION REQUESTED:
Adopt Resolution 2025-043 Approving and Authorizing Signing of Final Plat Farmington Industrial
Park 4th Addition, contingent upon the following:
1. A Development Contract between the applicant and the City of Farmington shall be executed
and security fees and costs shall be paid. Submission of all other documents required under
the Development Contract shall be required.
2. The final plat must be amended to add a signature block to the instrument of dedication for
the Chair of the Planning Commission.
3. The final plat must be amended to show the restricted access along the entirety of Pilot Knob
Road as required by Dakota County.

Re: FARMINGTON INDUSTRIAL PARK 4TH ADDITION
The Dakota County Plat Commission met on May 21, 2025, to consider the preliminary plat of the above
referenced plat. The plat is adjacent to CSAH 31 (Pilot Knob Rd.) and is therefore subject to the Dakota
County Contiguous Plat Ordinance.
The proposed plat includes an expansion the R+L Carrier site. The right-of-way needs along CSAH 31 are
60 feet of half right of way, which have been met. Access to site is from 208th Street West, a city street
with no access shown along CSAH 31. Restricted access should be shown along all of CSAH 31, including
the 80-foot existing access opening. A quit claim deed to Dakota County for restricted access is required
with the recording of the plat mylars.
The Plat Commission has approved the preliminary and final plat, provided that the described conditions
are met, and will recommend approval to the County Board of Commissioners on June 24, 2025.
Traffic volumes on CSAH 31 are 6,784 ADT and are anticipated to be 11,500 ADT by the year 2040.
No work shall commence in the County right of way until a permit is obtained from the County
Transportation Department and no permit will be issued until the plat has been filed with the County
Recorder’s Office. The Plat Commission does not review or approve the actual engineering design of
proposed accesses or other improvements to be made in the right of way. Nothing herein is intended to
restrict or limit Dakota County’s rights with regards to Dakota County rights of way or property. The Plat
Commission highly recommends early contact with the Transportation Department to discuss the
permitting process which reviews the design and may require construction of highway improvements,
including, but not limited to, turn lanes, drainage features, limitations on intersecting street widths,
medians, etc. Please contact TJ Bentley regarding permitting questions at (952) 891-7115 or Todd
Tollefson regarding Plat Commission or Plat Ordinance questions at (952) 891-7070.
Sincerely,
Todd B. Tollefson
Secretary, Plat Commission

BUDGET IMPACT:
This three-year grant program requires a match of 25% of the cost for years 1 and 2. Then, for year

the City would need to provide approximately $250,000 for years 1 and 2. Year 3, the City would
need to provide approximately $650,000 for the SAFER Grant if it was approved for $1,000,000.
