Flint Hills Resources Simple Plat Request for 14380 Blaine AvenueCITY OF ROSEMOUNT EXECUTIVE SUMMARY FOR ACTION City Council Meeting Date: January 6, 2004 AGENDA ITEM: Flint Hill Resources Simple Plat Request for 14380 Blaine Avenue AGENDA SECTION: Old Business PREPARED BY: Rick Pearson, City Planner AGENDA NO. ATTACHMENTS: Draft Resolution, Draft Council minutes 12 -16- APPROVED BY: 03; Site Location Map, Preliminary Plat, PC Minutes 9- 23 -03, Staff Report, Correspondence. Applicant: Flint Hill Resources Location: 14380 Blaine Avenue Property Owner(s): Flint Hills Resources Area in Acres: Approximately 13.2 Acres Number of Lots: One Comp. Guide Plan Desig: AG, Agriculture Current Zoning: AG, Agriculture Planning Commission Action: Recommendation of Approval 4 -0 SUMMARY This item was pulled from the Dec. 16 Council Agenda because of questions regarding Agricultural lot standards and density. All lots will be required to conform to AG lot dimension standards (min. lot size is 2.5 acres). Presently lot 3 is slightly under the ordinance area requirement. The ordinance also requires a 1 unit per 40 -acre density in the agricultural district. Density standards can be maintained if Flint Hills is willing to record a deed restriction on other property they own prohibiting additional residential units. Staff recommends that the deed restriction be recorded against adjacent property (the former Sell farm which has enough acreage). Putting a deed restriction on property not contiguous to the subject parcel but owned by Flint Hills is inconsistent with the spirit and intent of the zoning ordinance density requirement. The restriction is for the present agricultural zoning, if the property is rezoned, then the density requirement is moot and the deed restriction would no longer be necessary. Staff has discussed the above recommendations with Flint Hills. Flint Hills would prefer to record the deed restriction on other property, but understands the basis for the recommendation. What makes this application different from previous Agricultural District subdivisions is that the property being subdivided is not a farm. The original 13 acre site had 8 homes constructed in the 1950's as employee housing. Therefore, any deed restriction would have to be applied to adjacent property that was not originally part of the subdivision. Since Flint Hills owns the adjoining land, it is reasonable to request conformity with ordinance criteria. Mr. Kern also suggested that if Flint Hills does not accept the condition, more houses might be removed - to satisfy the requirement. However, it should be recognized that the proposed action does bring the property more into conformance than the current condition by reducing the number of homes on the site and providing separate legal lots for each of the structures. One final issue that came up during the Council discussion related to the present septic systems for the individual lots and the ability to provide a secondary system should the need arise. The draft resolution of approval requires that the plat conform to the Dakota County ISTS standards, which would necessitate the need for designating a secondary system site. This information is typically required prior to release of the plat for recording so that staff can confirm compliance. PLANNING COMMISSION ACTION The Commissioners had no concerns relative to the Blaine Court Plat. One commissioner shared some experiences regarding wells in the area. Subsequently, a motion to recommend approval was adopted. DAKOTA COUNTY PLAT COMMISSION This plat is subject to review by the Dakota County Plat Commission because of its frontage on County Road 71. Upon initial review, the Plat Commission had concerns about access locations along the County Road. Staff discussed alternatives with the applicant and the Plat Commission. The resulting plat revision consolidates access between lots 3 & 4 with an easement that aligns with the Church driveway (on the west side of Blaine Ave.). The easement goes across the plat for future access potential to the vacant land to the east. This revision prompted the Plat Commission to approve the plat, granting a variance to County street spacing standards. No variances to City standards were created by the revision. RECOMMENDATION The attached resolution has been expanded to include a condition requiring the deed restriction for Agricultural District density. RECOMMENDED ACTION: Motion to adopt a resolution approving the Flint Hills Estates plat subject to conditions.

Flint Hills Resources Simple Plat Request for 14380 Blaine Avenue Council Member Shoe- Corrigan asked about the standards for residential lots below five acres. She noted that normally the density is averaged out with other lots for a rural residential density of two units for 10 acres. Community Development Director Lindquist noted that this property has eight homes on it now and that number would be reduced to three homes and one open lot. Although this is still not compliant with standards, it is closer to compliance. The property is owned by Flint Hills but is not contiguous to their larger parcel. Lindquist said this would be a trade -off to accomplish other goals and it is up to the City Council's discretion. Shoe - Corrigan requested that additional negotiations be conducted and this item be tabled for their response.

TO: MEMORANDUM Rick Pearson, City Planner City of Rosemount Planning Commission FROM: Jason Lindahl, A.LC.P., Assistant City Planner DATE: September 18, 2003 RE: Simple Plat — 14380 Blaine Avenue BACKGROUND The applicant, Flint Hills Resources, requests a simple plat for the property located at 14380 Blaine Avenue. Currently, the subject property is one parcel containing eight single family homes. The applicant proposes to subdivide this property into four individual lots. Lots 1, 2, and 3 will each contain one single family home while lot 4 will remain undeveloped. The five other single family dwellings on site will be removed by Flint Hills. This subdivision is necessary to create four lots which meet the minimum lot dimensional standards for properties in the AG, Agriculture District and to allow Flint Hills to sell these properties. Staff reviewed this application against the performance standards for properties in the AG, Agriculture District and Subdivision Ordinance. Our findings are detailed below. ISSUE ANALSIS Land Use & Zoning. The subject property is guided and zoned AG, Agriculture. Similarity, the existing land use is 8 single family dwelling units on one property. The houses that will remain on each lot meet the minimum performance standards for these zoning and land use designations. Lots. The applicant plans to subdivide the existing 13.2 acre property into four individual lots. As proposed, Lots 1, 2, and 3 will each contain one single family home (buildings A, E, and H) while lot 4 will remain undeveloped. These lots and buildings meet the minimum performance standards for properties in the AG, Agriculture zoning and land use categories. Detailed information regarding these proposed lots is illustrated in the table below. 1 Lot Division Information for 14280 Blaine Avenue Lot AG District Standard Existing Proposed Status Size Width Size Width Size Width 1 5 acres 300 ft. N/A N/A 3.1 acres 450 ft Conforming 2 5 acres 300 ft. N/A N/A 3.1 acres 460 ft. Conforming 3 5 acres 300 ft. N/A N/A 2.3 acres 330 ft. Conforming 4 5 acres 300 ft. N/A N/A 3.5 acres 1 515 ft. Conforming Access. As proposed, Lots 1 and 2 will share an existing access onto Blaine Avenue. Lot 3 is requesting a new access. This request must be approved by Dakota County prior to recording of the subdivision. Lot 4 will also utilize an existing access to Blaine Avenue. In addition to these accesses, the applicant plans to remove much of the existing north/south driveway connecting the site. The applicant's plan illustrate that the existing driveway will be remove from the northern edge of Lot 3 to the existing cul -de sac on Lot 4. Right -of -Way. According to the City Engineer, Dakota County will most likely require the applicant to dedicate an additional 50 feet of land for future right -of -way along County Road 71 (Blaine Avenue). The applicant shall revise their plat to conform with the right -of -way requirements set forth by Dakota County. Utilities. The applicant's plans illustrate the existence of on -site utilities including cess pools and wells. Each lot will be required to have a well, septic system, drain field and backup drain field in conformance with all Pollution Control Agency (PCA) standards. The applicant will be required to demonstrate that each property can meet this standard. Easements. All four lots shall include the necessary easements as required by the City Engineer. In addition, Lots 1 and 2 shall have a shared access and driveway easement to allow access from both properties to Blaine Avenue. These easements must be recorded with the proposed subdivision. Park Dedication. This subdivision will create 3 new residential lots. As a result, the applicant will be required to pay $5,400 (3 X $1,800) in park dedication fees. These fees shall be paid to the City prior to recording of the proposed subdivision. Home Removal. The zoning ordinance allows only one principal building per lot. Therefore, the applicant will be required to remove buildings A, C, D, F, and G prior to recording this subdivision with Dakota County. The Rosemount Fire Department has expressed interested in using some of the houses for practice burns. Fire Marshall George Lundy will contact Don Kern of Flint Hill to discuss this possibility. 2 CONCLUSION AND RECOMMENDATION Staff recommends approval of simple plat for the property located at 14380 Blaine Avenue. This plat subdivides the existing 13.2 acre parcel into 3 lot containing existing single family homes and one undeveloped lot. The five remaining single family dwellings on site shall be removed by Flint Hills Resource. Staff reviewed this application against the performance standards for properties in the AG, Agriculture District and Subdivision Ordinance. Our review found this proposal to be in compliance with the minimum lot dimensional and use standards for properties in this district. This recommendation is based on the material submitted by the applicant and the findings contained in this report. It is also subject to the conditions outlined below. L Approval of the new access to Lot 3 from Blaine Avenue (County Road 71) by Dakota County prior to recording of the subdivision. 2. Remove the existing driveway accessing buildings A, C, D, F, and G and from the northern edge of Lot 3 to the existing cul -de sac on Lot 4. 3.

Said plat is adjacent to CSAH 71 and CSAH 42, and is therefore subject to the Dakota County Contiguous Plat Ordinance. Representatives from the City of Rosemount and Flint Hills Resources provided the Plat Commission with very helpful information regarding this plat and the vision for development in the area. The access spacing guideline on CSAH 71 from the intersection of CSAH 71 and CSAH 42 is an eighth mile. The plat indicates less than the eighth mile spacing guideline and the City of Rosemount recommended a variance for an access opening on CSAH 71 along Lots 3 and 4. The Plat Commission approved the variance for access spacing of less than an eighth mile. The Plat Commission has approved the final plat and will recommend approval to the Board of Commissioners when the plat is submitted in signed Mylar form. 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. The Plat Commission highly recommends early contact with the Transportation Department to discuss design features of any construction in public right of way. The County Transportation Department permit process reviews the design and may require construction of highway improvements, including, but not limited to, turn lanes, drainage features, limitations on intersecting street widths, allowance and size of medians, etc. Sincerely, Todd Tollefson Acting Secretary, Plat Commission to Printed on mcyded paper with 309' post- consumer waste.

Johnson Secretary, Plat Commission Dakota County Western Service Center 14955 Galaxie Avenue Apple Valley, MN 55124 -8579 RE: Flint Hills Estates Dear Mr. Johnson: Please accept this letter and attachment in response to your correspondence of October 8 and 23, 2003. Don Kern of Flint Hills Resources has provided an alternative strategy for access to County Road 71with the objective of resolving the issue with the Dakota County Plat Commission. The position of the City Planning Department is that the plat represents a reduction of housing density and substantial resolution of agricultural residential non - conformity. The proposal to change the current situation of eight existing houses on one parcel to three remaining houses, each on an individual parcel consistent with Agricultural district lot standards is supported by staff. Agricultural residential density standards apply to the plat and adjacent properties, which will prohibit additional housing units under current zoning. Rosemount has adopted a one - dwelling unit per forty-acre density standard for its Agriculture District. In an effort to consolidate residential access and provide access flexibility for potential future development, the plat has been revised. Individual driveway access to County Road 71 has been eliminated from Lots 3 and 4. In return, a sixty -foot wide easement for a potential future street will align with the church access to the west. The access for lots 3 and 4 will utilize the easement. The easement also provides the potential for future access to the undeveloped land east of the plat as an alternative to its current frontage along CSAH 42. As before, access to lots 1 and 2 will be shared along their common property boundaries. The plat will be placed on a future City Council agenda pending the outcome of the County Plat Commission review. If you have any questions, I can be reached at 651 -322 -2052. Thank you for your assistance. Rick Pearson City Planner Cc Don Kern Andrew Brotzler C O U N T Y L October 23, 2003 Surveyors Office City of Rosemount Fred M.

Said plat is adjacent to CSAH 71 and CSAH 952.891.7087 42, and is therefore, subject to -the Dakota :County Contiguous Plat Ordinance. Fax 952.891.7097 www.co.dakota.mn.us Access for the property to the east should be considered through this development from CSAH 71. Restricted access must be shown along CSAH 42 and CSAH 71 except for two access openings (joint driveways serving lots 1 and 2 and 3 and 4). The County's Right of Way Guideline for a 4 -lane divided highway is 75 feet of half right of way and for a 2 -lane rural highway is 55 feet of half right of way. Therefore, adequate right of way must be dedicated to Dakota County along both CSAH 42 and CSAH 71. The Plat Commission does not approve this plat as submitted. Traffic volumes on CSAH 71 are 1,500 and are anticipated to be 3,000 ADT by the year 2025. Traffic volumes on CSAH 42 are 16,800 and are anticipated to be 24,640 ADT by the year 2025. These traffic volumes indicate that current Minnesota noise standards for residential units could be exceeded for the proposed plat. Residential developments along County highways commonly result in noise complaints. In order for noise levels from the highway to meet acceptable levels for adjacent residential units, substantial building setbacks, buffer areas, and other noise mitigation elements should be incorporated into this development. 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 actual engineering design.of.proposed accesses or other improvements to be made in the right of way. The Plat Commission highly recommends early contact with the Transportation Department to discuss design features of any construction in public right of way. The County Transportation Department permit process reviews the design and may require construction of highway improvements, including, but not limited to, turn lanes, drainage features, limitations on intersecting street widths, allowance and size of medians, etc. Sincerely, Fred M.

Said plat is adjacent to CSAH 71, and is therefore, subject to the Dakota County Contiguous Plat Ordinance. The Plat Commission did not approve this preliminary plat as submitted The Dakota County Planning Department's zoning information from the City of Rosemount indicates this area to be zoned as agricultural (1 lot on 40 acres). The Plat Commission has no information indicating the City of Rosemount has changed this. If zoning has been changed, the Plat Commission has concerns regarding the potential for additional development to the east, and where that access would come from. The proposed access from Lot 4 does not meet the County's guidelines with respect to its proximity to CSAH 42, and would not be allowed. There would potentially be one access point allowed from CSAH 71 to Lots 3 and 4. Said access point would need to be directly across from the church access to the west. Traffic volumes on CSAH 71 are 1,500 and are anticipated to be 3,000 ADT by the year 2025. These traffic volumes indicate that current Minnesota noise standards for residential units could be exceeded for the proposed plat.

Johnson Secretary, Plat Commission Dakota County Western Service Center 14955 Galaxie Avenue Apple Valley, MN 55124 -8579 RE: Flint Hills Estates Dear Mr. Johnson: CITY HALL 2875 - 145th Street West Rosemount, MIN 55068 -4997 Phone: 651 - 423 -4411 Hearing Impaired: 651 - 423 -6219 Fax: 651 - 423 -5203 Please accept this letter and attachment in response to your correspondence of October 8 and 23, 2003. Don Kern of Flint Hills Resources has provided an alternative strategy for access to County Road 71with the objective of resolving the issue with the Dakota County Plat Commission. The position of the City Planning Department is that the plat represents a reduction of housing density and substantial resolution of agricultural residential non - conformity. The proposal to change the current situation of eight existing houses on one parcel to three remaining houses, each on an individual parcel consistent with Agricultural district lot standards is supported by staff. Agricultural residential density standards apply to the plat and adjacent properties, which will prohibit additional housing units under current zoning. Rosemount has adopted a one- dwelling unit per forty-acre density standard for its Agriculture District. In an effort to consolidate residential access and provide access flexibility for potential future development, the plat has been revised. Individual driveway access to County Road 71 has been eliminated from Lots 3 and 4. In return, a sixty -foot wide easement for a potential future street will align with the church access to the west. The access for lots 3 and 4 will utilize the easement. The easement also provides the potential for future access to the undeveloped land east of the plat as an alternative to its current frontage along CSAH 42. As before, access to lots 1 and 2 will be shared along their common property boundaries. The plat will be placed on a future City Council agenda pending the outcome of the County Plat Commission review. If you have any questions, I can be reached at 651- 322 - 2052. Thank you for your assistance. Rick Pearson City Planner Cc Don Kern Andrew Brotzler
