Farmington Council adopts ordinance to annex 158 acres in Eureka Township
Summary
The council voted unanimously Feb. 2 to adopt Ordinance 2026-001 annexing a 158-acre property owned by Adelman Farm LLC in Eureka Township under Minn. Stat. §414.033; the ordinance includes a two-year reimbursement schedule to the township.
The Farmington City Council on Feb. 2 adopted Ordinance 2026-001 to annex a 158-acre property in Eureka Township owned by Adelman Farm LLC.
Tony, the planning manager, told the council the petitioner filed a petition for annexation and that state statute permits owners of properties under 200 acres to petition a city for annexation by ordinance under Minn. Stat. §414.033, subd. 5. He said the petitioner served required notices on Oct. 21, 2025, triggering a 90-day comment period during which no state objections were filed.
Under the proposed ordinance, Farmington would reimburse Eureka Township the taxable amount proposed by the township—$4,243.04—in each of the first two years following annexation, in line with statutory reimbursement schedules. Tony added that Lennar has a contract for residential development on the property.
Council member Holly moved to adopt the ordinance and Council member Steve seconded. The council approved the ordinance on a roll-call vote with "Yes" votes from Council member Lean, Council member Burnett, Mayor White, Council member Gordis and Council member Wilson.
The ordinance was adopted at the Feb. 2 meeting; Tony told council staff would follow statutory steps for filing and notification.
