ISSUE
The City Council adopted the CSAH 42 /Akron AUAR (Alternative Urban Areawide Review) in 2007.
State Statute requires that the City review and update the AUAR every five years and allow the
required reviewing agencies to comment on the update. The agency comment period expired on
March 7. Staff is revising the update as needed and preparing a resolution to adopt the update on
March 20:
I DISCUSSION - x ,.
1 Staff prepared an update to the CSAH 42 /Akron AUAR which was initially adopted in 2007. The
AUAR covers about 1,500 acres of land generally located north of CSAH 42, along both sides of
Akron Avenue. The area goes as far as north of the Harmony and Meadows of Bloomfield
- neighborhoods. The update to the AUAR includes the DR Horton and Lennar neighborhoods in
Prestwick Place and minor changes resulting from the adoption of the 2030 Comprehensive Plan in
} 2009. The resulting change reflected in the update is a 390 housing unit reduction °from a-total of
fi 5;090 units`to 4,700 units. The update covers how this reduction affects the traffic and infrastructure
projections for the City. No major changes are anticipated'to the City's capital improvement planning
as a result of the update but the reduction in units may delay the need for the next well or water tower.
The full update is attached to this Executive Summary.
To begin the agency review of the update, hard copies were mailed to eleven State agencies, five
Federal agencies, and the Metropolitan Council. The availability of the update was published in the
EQB Monitor and the Rosemount Town Pages. The comment period was for 30 days and ended on
March 7. During the comment period, staff received three letters: one from the Metropolitan Council
with comments; letters from the Minnesota Department of Transportation and the Pollution Control
Agency stating that they have no comments; and an e -mail from Dakota County staff stating they will
not be sending a comment letter. The three letters are attached to this Executive Summary.
The yetropolitan Council comments pointed out a numerical error on page 2 of the update, asked for
the City to include a riew Drinking Water Supply Management Area (DWSMA) map if we've adopted
one since 2007, a statement that the regional sewer system can accommodate the level of development
within the update but could not handle the level of development with Scenarios 2 and 3 of the original
AUAR, and a request for additional data on how the traffic calculations were determined. In
response, staff will correct the error on page 2. The City is current working on a new DWSMA map
but it has not been adopted. The City can include that new DWSMA map in the 2017 update. The
coniment about Scenarios 2 and 3 relates to the maximum densities allowed by the land uses but we
understand that it is highly unlikely that all development within the 1,500 acres will be at the maximum
density. With the recent reviews of the Pulte plans for Marshes of Bloomfield and the Ryland plans
for Greystone (both of which are within the AUAR), staff is comfortable that the entire area within
the AUAR will not develop at the maximum density. For the final Metropolitan Council comment
regarding traffic, staff will discuss the process used to determine the traffic counts with their
transportation staff.
RECOMMENDATION
Staff wanted to update the Council on the actions needed to ensure that the 42 /Akron AUAR
remains valid. If the Council is comfortable with the above information, the item will be scheduled
for the March 20, 2012 City Council meeting and will be asked to approve the update by resolution.

6. Project Description:
a. Description Development Scenarios
Three Comprehensive Plan Amendments have occurred within the AUAR area since its adoption.
First, the 2030 Comprehensive Plan was adopted on May 19, 2009. The 2030 Comprehensive Plan
changed the title of Urban Residential to Low Density Residential, reduced the average density of
Low Density Residential froth 2.5 units /acre to the 2.35 units /acre, and increased the density of the
1 1 . 3,
o w
�, in m .. r
High Density Residential` from 12 units /acre to 20 units /acre. The density changes were a result of
historical plat' monitoring data for Rosemount. The'2030 Comprehensive Plan approved the land r
use changes of the Prestwick Place preliminary plat within the AUAR which reduced the Low
Density Residential by 33 acres, increased the Medium Density Residential by 24 acre's, increased the
High Density Residential by 2 acres,°reduced the Commercial by are and increased the
Public /Institutional by 8 acres.
Second, the Prestwick Place 2n Comprehensive Plan Amendment was approved on June '15, 2010,
and increased the Low Density Residential by 45 acres, decreased the Medium Density Residential '
by 20_acres, and increased the High Density Residential by 25 acres. '
Third, the Prestwick Place 3rd Comprehensive Plan Amendment was approved on May 17, 2011, and
w increased the Low Density Residential by 30 acres by decreasing the Medium Density Residential by
30 acres:
n r
- _F° The three Comprehensive' Plan Amendments result in the potential decrease of 3,090 housing units.

RE: CSAH 42 & Akron Study Area _,
Final Alternative Urban Areawide Review (FAUAR) and Mitigation Plan Update
Metropolitan Council District 16
Metropolitan Council Review File No. 19859 -3
I t �
Dear Ms. Lindquist:
Metropolitan Council staff has reviewed the FAUAR Update (Update) to determine the document's
accuracy and completeness in addressing regional concerns. Council staff finds the Update accurate and
complete, and raises no major issues of consistency with Council policies or systems plans. Council staff
provides the following technical comments for your consideration.
Item 6 — Project Description
The Update indicates on page 2 that the three Comprehensive Plan Amendments that have been approved
for the AUAR area result in the potential decrease of 3090 housing units. Table 1 on the same page
however, indicates a decrease of 390 potential housing units. The City needs to correct the inconsistency
between these two figures.
Item 13 — Water Use
The western side of the AUAR area is located within the City of Rosemount's Drinking Water Supply
Management Area (DWSMA), which has been designated as being highly vulnerable to contamination by
the City and the MN Department of Health. Redevelopment within this area should be consistent with the
City's Wellhead Protection Plan to protect the community's drinking water sources. If the most recent
DWSMA map and descriptive information are not included in the AUAR, it should be added in the
appropriate places. Items 14 (Water - related Land Use Management Districts), 17 (Water Quality —
a Surface Water Runoff), 20 (Solid Wastes...), 25 (Nearby Resources), and 27 (Compatibility with
Plans:..) are all places would benefit from acknowledging the City's DWSMA and Wellhead Protection
Plan.
The figure below illustrates the project area in relation to the City of Rosemount's DWSMA. Green
denotes low vulnerability areas, yellow denotes moderately vulnerable areas, and orange denotes highly
vulnerable areas

The Update states that approval of the three Comprehensive Plan Amendments for the AUAR area have
resulted in a net potential decrease of 390 homes which is equivalent to a 100,000 gallon per day
reduction in wastewater flow.
The Update makes several references to Scenario #1. The Meti'opolitin Disposal System will have
adequate capacity to provide wastewater services to the AUAR area for Scenario #1; however, Scenarios
i
#2 and II#3 may require a Comprehensive Plan Amendment (CPA). :
