Farmington Planning Commission Approves Dakota Meadows Preserve Expansion with New Residential Lots
- Meeting Overview:
The Farmington Planning Commission has approved the final plat for the second edition of Dakota Meadows Preserve. These lots are part of a larger plan for 134 lots, with 42 having been approved in the first edition last year.
The approved lots are located near the southeastern intersection of Denmark Avenue and 220th Street West. The planned unit development includes five outlots, which will serve various purposes such as stormwater management and trail corridors. Outlots A and C will be deeded to the city. The development will extend 223rd Street West to connect with Deep Water Path, facilitating future access to neighboring properties and additional development phases. The development will be serviced by Westview Acres Park, and the construction of sidewalks and trails is part of the plan.
During the meeting, a representative of the developer confirmed that the first phase of the project, involving 42 lots, is progressing well, with 18 houses already under construction. They also outlined plans for grading and utility installations, which are expected to begin in spring. The developer addressed dewatering and soil use, highlighting the sandy soil conditions and the intention to deepen the central pond to balance the site.
The commission’s approval is contingent upon the satisfaction of engineering comments related to construction plans and the execution of a development contract with the city. The developer agreed to these conditions.
