PLANNING ANALYSIS
PRELIMINARY PLAT AND FINAL PLAT
Background. The subject property is Outlot F, Donnelly Farm Addition and totals 1.93 acres.
The Donnelly Farm final plat was approval by the City Council in 2005.
Existing Conditions. The property is generally flat with eight-foot wide sidewalks constructed
adjacent to Itea Way and Idealic Avenue.
Comprehensive Plan. Rallis First Addition is located in Planning District 5 of the 2008
Comprehensive Land Use Plan. Planning District 5 guides the subject property for commercial
development and the proposed development is consistent with that designation.
Zoning. The property is zoned C-3, General Commercial District. Professional offices are
allowed as a permitted use in the C-3 District. The approximate east 10,000 square feet of the
32,604 square foot Lot 1, Block 1 is located within the Shoreland Overlay District of the South
Creek Tributary located to the east across Iberia Avenue. The developer dedicated 29 acres of
permanent greenspace and floodplain area as part of the Donnelly Farm Addition in 2005. This
met the impervious surface area requirements for all lots and outlots in the Donnelly Farm
Addition.
Surrounding Land Uses and Zoning
North – Itea Way and Rainbow Child Care (O-R District)
South – Chamber of Commerce office building and Cub Foods (C-3 District)
East – Idealic Avenue, and South Creek tributary and Sonnet Montessori School (Day Care)
(C-3 District)
West – Dodd Boulevard and Lake Marion Elementary School (R-2 District)
3
MUSA. The proposed preliminary and final plat of Rallis First Addition is within the current
MUSA (Metropolitan Urban Service Area) and can be served with City sanitary sewer, water and
storm sewer infrastructure.
Premature Subdivision Criteria. A preliminary and/or final plat may be deemed premature if
any of the criteria listed in Chapter 10-2-4-1 of the Subdivision Ordinance apply. The criteria are
primarily related to the ability to provide sewer, water, storm sewer and transportation facilities.
Staff has determined that the Rallis First Addition is not a premature subdivision.
Lot Requirements. Lots within the C-3 District must provide 20,000 square feet of lot area and
100 feet of lot width as measured at the front setback line. The overall area of proposed Lot 1,
Block 1, Rallis First Addition is 32,604 square feet (0.748 acres) and 106 feet of width along
Idealic Avenue. Proposed Outlot A is 1.77 acres in area and will have approximately 209 feet of
frontage adjacent to Idealic Avenue.
Outlot. The preliminary and final plats propose one outlot which will be held by the developer
for future development of a commercial lot. Outlot A is proposed to be preliminary platted as an
outlot, requiring preliminary and final plat at the time development is proposed on the outlot.
Easements – Perimeter drainage and utility easements are indicated on the preliminary and final
plat as required by the Subdivision Ordinance.
Streets and Access. Rallis First Addition abuts three public streets. Dodd Boulevard (CSAH 9) is
an A-minor arterial roadway under the jurisdiction of Dakota County for access and road right-
of-way. Itea Way and Idealic Avenue are both classified as local streets. No additional right-of-
way is required for either Itea Way or Idealic Avenue, but the Dakota Plat Commission is
requiring five feet of trail easement along the west boundary of the property in lieu of five feet of
additional road right-of-way to accommodate Dakota County’s roadway and trail needs for
Dodd Boulevard.
Trails and Sidewalks. A 10-foot wide bituminous trail is located along the east side of Dodd
Boulevard adjacent to the subject property. Eight-foot wide concrete sidewalks are located on the
south side of Itea Way and west of Idealic Avenue.
Park Dedication. The City’s Park and Open Space Plan does not identify additional park land
needs in the area of the Rallis First Addition preliminary and final plat. The park dedication
requirements were satisfied with land dedication with the Donnelly Farm final plat.
4
Tree Preservation. A row of trees are located on the adjacent property to the south near the
property line. The developer should make precautions to protect those trees.
Wetlands. There are no significant trees within the preliminary and final plat area.
Grading and Utilities. Grading, drainage, erosion control and utility plans have been submitted.
The Engineering Division memorandum outlines the proposed and existing public infrastructure
associated with the Rallis preliminary plat. Private sewer and water utilities will serve the office
building on Lot 1 as well as the future development of Outlot A. All grading, drainage and
erosion control items must be addressed as outlined in the attached April 12, 2018 engineering
report.
SITE PLAN
Setbacks. The Rallis office building will be situated on the west side of Lot 1. The parking lot
will be located north and east of the office building and will be accessed from Idealic Avenue.

Access. The property will have a single access drive onto Idealic Avenue a minimum of 50 feet
from the corner of Itea Way and Idealic Avenue. Outlot A will be allowed a separate access to
Idealic Avenue. No access is allowed to and from Dodd Boulevard.
Parking. The proposed 3,403 square foot building requires a minimum of 16 parking spaces at a
ratio of one space for each 200 square feet of gross building floor area, minus an allowable 10%
floor area credit. A total of 20 parking spaces are proposed. A minimum of one handicapped
accessible parking space is are required for this site. Parking requirements are calculated as
follows:
3,403 sf – 10% = 3,063 sf / 200 = 16 spaces
5
The parking lot aisles, stall width and stall depth all meet the minimum size and dimension
requirements of the Zoning Ordinance as follows:
Stall Width: Nine feet
Stall Depth: 18 feet with a two-foot overhang
Aisle Width: 24 feet
Building Design/Height. The building includes a hip-roof design with asphalt shingles and,
four-sided brick-face with a brick accent band. The proposed building height is 16 feet. The
proposed building exterior materials meet the requirements of the Zoning Ordinance.
Mechanical units will be located on the south side of the building and will be screened with
landscaping. The Zoning Ordinance allows a maximum building height of 35 feet.
Exterior Trash Storage. Refuse and recycling containers are proposed within a 12’ x 8’ x 6’
enclosure located 35 feet from the east property line. The enclosure is required to be constructed
of similar exterior materials to that of the principal building. The enclosure must be a minimum
of six feet tall or one foot taller than any container stored in the enclosure. The enclosure is
proposed to be constructed of brick to match the office building with a galvanized steel gate.
Landscaping. The landscape plan consists of a mixture of evergreen and deciduous trees
throughout the site with a row of shrubs around the parking lot perimeter and around the
building. The plan proposes five deciduous trees, two conifer trees and one ornamental tree, and
various deciduous and coniferous shrubs and perennial plants. An in-ground irrigation system
for landscaping maintenance is proposed as required by the Zoning Ordinance. The proposed
landscaping is consistent with Zoning Ordinance requirements and the Corridor and Gateway
Design Study standards. A cash or letter of credit financial security of $16,825 shall be submitted
prior to the issuance of a building permit to guarantee installation of the landscaping per the
approved landscape plan.
Signage. The property is allowed up to two wall signs and one free-standing sign. Each wall sign
is allowed a maximum of 100 square feet of area. A monument sign is proposed to be located
west of the building fronting Dodd Boulevard. The sign must be setback a minimum of 15 feet
from any property line. A permit is required prior to installation of any signage.
Lighting. The project proposes exterior wall-pack lighting only. All lighting is required to be
downcast. Lighting intensity at the right-of-way line may not exceed one foot candle (fc)
measurement. A detailed photometric lighting plan and wall fixture specifications must be
submitted and approved by staff prior to City Council consideration of the preliminary and final
plat.

Re: RALLIS FIRST ADDITION
The Dakota County Plat Commission met on March 19, 2018, to consider the preliminary plat of the above
referenced plat. The plat is adjacent to CSAH 9 (Dodd Blvd.), and is therefore subject to the Dakota County
Contiguous Plat Ordinance.
The preliminary plat is a replat of Outlot F, DONNELLY FARM ADDITION. The proposed site includes one lot
and one outlot. The right-of-way needs are 75 feet of half right of way for a four-lane divided roadway. The
existing right of way is 60 feet of half right of way. The existing trail was constructed on or near the current
right of way line. Therefore, a 5-foot trail, drainage and utility easement to Dakota County is required along
CSAH 9.
As discussed, the Plat Commission recommends an ingress/egress easement across Outlot A at some point,
which would provide a future access to the Chamber of Commerce site to the west via Idealic Avenue. The
existing driveway for the Chamber of Commerce site does not meet access spacing along CSAH 9 (200 feet
instead of 660 feet) and is located in the existing turn-lane of Itea Way. In the future, an ingress/egress
easement would allow closure to the existing CSAH 9 access and provide a new connection to Idealic Avenue.
The Plat Commission has approved the preliminary plat and reviewed the final plat and recommends
approval to the County Board of Commissioners.
Traffic volumes on CSAH 9 are 9,600 ADT and are anticipated to be 15,000 ADT by the year 2030.
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 Gordon McConnell 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

Dodd Boulevard (CSAH 9)
Rallis is located east of and adjacent to Dodd Boulevard (CSAH 9), a minor arterial county
roadway, as identified in the City’s Transportation Plan. Dodd Boulevard is constructed as a
four-lane divided roadway with bituminous trails along both sides of the roadway within 155-
feet of right-of-way. The Dakota County Plat Commission reviewed the development at their
March 19, 2018 meeting and recommended approval, subject to the Developer dedicating a
5-foot wide trail east along the west plat boundary. The Developer shall dedicated the
required easement with the final plat, prior to City Council consideration. No additional right-
of-way will be required with the final plat.
The Dakota County Plat Commission requested that at the time Outlot A is final platted into
lots and blocks that City staff attempt to provide a shared roadway access extending from
Idealic Avenue to PID No. 220200060001 (Chamber of Commerce). The Chamber of
Commerce property currently has a single access to Dodd Boulevard, which does not meet
the County’s access spacing guidelines. The shared access will allow the Chamber of
Commerce property a secondary access to a public local roadway.
Itea Avenue
Rallis is located south of and adjacent to Itea Avenue, a local roadway, as identified in the
City’s Transportation Plan. 80-feet of right of way was dedicated for Itea Avenue adjacent to
the parent parcel with the Donnelly Farm Addition plat.
Itea Avenue is constructed as a 44-foot wide undivided urban roadway with a dedicated right
turn lane at the Dodd Boulevard intersection. 8-foot wide sidewalks are located along both
sides of Itea Avenue.
Idealic Avenue
Rallis is located west of and adjacent to Idealic Avenue, a local roadway as identified in the
City’s Comprehensive Transportation Plan. 80-feet of right of way was dedicated for Idealic
Avenue adjacent to the parent parcel with the Donnelly Farm Addition plat.
Idealic Avenue is constructed as a 44-foot wide undivided urban roadway with 5-foot wide
sidewalk located along the west side of the roadway.
