Dapper: Cannot read/map Geometry type field in local SQL Server

I am running ASP.NET Core 2 application.

I have a local instance of SQL Server where I have a table with a column of type Geometry.

When I go to read this table I get the following errors:

Type Udt is not supported on this platform.
Error parsing column 4 (MyLocation)

However this issue only seems to occur in my API project which calls to a custom made Nuget package that handles the CRUD operations.

If I test the same code in the project that does the CRUD it reads and maps my object.

It is not a connection issue in the API for I can successfully read/write other tables that do not have a Geometry field in it.

What could I possible be missing?

Code:

MyController:

public async Task<IActionResult> Get(Guid Id)
{
   var rec = await myRepo.Get<MyData>(id);
   // then do stuff
}

*myRepo is injected into my controller.

public class MyData
{
   public Guid Id {get;set;}
   public IGeometry MyLocation {get;set;}
}

myRepo:

public async Task<TEntity> Get<TEntity>(object id)
where TEntity : class
{
   _conn.Open();
   return await _conn.GetAsync<TEntity>(id);
}
