SUMMARY
On February 28, the Planning , Commission conducted a public hearing the text amendment proposed
to the Zoning Ordinance to allowLarge Scale Mineral Extraction as an interim use within the AG:
= Agricultural zoning district. Three letters were submitted to the City before the meeting from residents,
six residents spoke at the meeting including one that submitted his written notes, and Dakota Aggregates
' submitted a comment letter about their concerns with specific sections of the proposed Ordinance. The
Planning Commission continued the public hearing to their March 27 meeting and scheduled a work
session on March 13 to discuss the comments that were received and whether amendments to the draft 4
ordinance should be considered.` '
Written Comments from Residents f
Staff has received five written comments regarding,the£Ordinance proposal. One letter was in support of
mining and one letter was opposition, questioning if there will be a decrease in their property value. The
other,three letters expressed `concefns'about traffic, noise and`dust. The Ordinance does
not address traffic volume directly but does limit the truck traffic to collector or arterial roads. Noise is
addressed in draft Ordinance sections H.2. limitation on the location of accesses; H.6. addressing hours of
operation; H.8. stating that noise must be below the PCA and EPA standards; and H:11. stating that the
use of explosives are prohibited. Mitigative measures are proposed to address dust associated with the :
mining activity. These measures are found in draft Ordinance sections H.2. limitation on the location of
accesses; H. 3. requiring setbacks to mining activities; H.5. addressing screening and berming; H.9.
requiring the first 150 feet of the access road to be paved; H.10. allowing the City to require a dust control'
` plan; H.16. requiring land to be vegetated when the mining is complete; and 1.3. limiting the,amount of
` ,, land open to mining to a total of 160 acres.

Oral Comments from Hearing , .
w Six residents spoke during the public hearing. A draft excerpt of the Planning Commission minutes is
attached to, this summary for reference. Beyond similar general comments as those received in the written
comments, there were several very specific comments. The resident requested that screening should be
measured for opacity in the winter; berms should 20 feet in height instead of 10,feet; landscaping be '
installed on the north side of County' Road 42; and that the mining'setback from Bloomfield should be •
1,300 feet. He also asked about the current noise ordinance andnoted' that the current 42/52 interchange
could not support the anticipated truck traffic.
The followin' is staffres:onses td the s .ecific comments:
Staff does not support measuring the opacity in the winter because :there will not be mining in the winter.
Measuring the opacity in the summer would be more appropriate since that is when the mining activity will '"
occur. X 4 ..
w Staff believes a berm 10 feet in height measured from the shoulder of the road is sufficient because this
will shield all vehicles from view 'during the mining operation. Additionally, as mining' occurs equipment
V; - and activity wi l l"move lower, as m ore gravel is removed_from the site, furt reducing visual impacts• a _ ,
° ° The City`does not have a stand alone noise ordinance but, either uses PCA or EPA standards or limits the
° noise through hours'of operation. To address, potential noise impacts during the evening, the ordinance
- recommends mining must end by 7 pm: , x ,
Because the current process'is development of an ordinance, it would not be appropriate through the ° j
ordinance to require landscaping on property outside of the mining site..This is something that will be ,
,,; discussed further through the permit process, should the ordinance be adopted.. p ,
,. The Ci and the County have the reconstruction of the County Road 42 and US'Highway52 interchange'
in our capital improvement plan ( CIP and are're requesting State and Federal fiinding., _ ' ' {''
r p p P ) q g g.
Per the draft ordinance, a 350 foot residential setback will apply to ahresidential buildings from the "mining
activity, including any future residential built in UMore. The City may require a greater setback from the ,
- ,Bloomfield neighborhood as part of the mining permit review. pr .
A, Dakota Aggregates Comment Letter. „.
s Dakota Aggregates submitted a letter listing a number of concerns that they have with the language of t
draft ordinance. These comments include: What line setbacks'will be measured from; requesting allowance
for multiple concrete plants; clear language that they will have two mining areas of 80 acres open for a
, total of 160 acres that stockpiling and equipment used daily are aCcess`ory uses; that the ancillary uses can ry
f
continue when the mining moves to Empire';' and how the fmancial surety will be provided and used. To
s address these issues; staff changed the setback language to be measured from the mining EIS boundary; •
,. revised the language to-permit multiple coricrete plants; and added. stockpiling and equipment used daily as
an accessory uses. Staff would consider any language proposed to`clarify,that mining can have two
separate area of 80 acre mining that totals' 160 acres. The City Council had previously' stated at.their work '
session that they understand the ancillary uses would exist until all the mining within the EIS is completed.
' ' Staff- is,willing to more fully address -the financial surety within the actual mining permit..
7
.. In addition Aggregates provided 23 specific comments. Staff has made revisions to. the
. Ordinance to address •Comments 1 2 6 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 18 and 19. Staff disagrees with,Comment 3 t
increasing the demolition time'for buildings_from l2 to 18 months. Building and structure demolition can i.:.
- occur during winter months so it is unclear why the applicant is requesting more time.
* , 2
A
,
Staff disagrees with Comment .4 to add "could" "
issues because it waters down nexus between 4
the issues and the regulations of the Ordinance that address the issues. Similarly, staff did not add the
.. "under law" proposed in Comment 5 because the City Council cannot have a regulation that is contrary =
the existing laws and the addition is redundant.
In response to Comment 7, staff did add language regarding the °outdoor conveyor. However, it has bees "
requested that the applicant provide information on what is stored in the silos and why that material 9
cannot be stored in the building, perhaps still in interior silos. .
' ` Addressing Comment 13, staff would be supportive of adding language to clarify that the percentage of
recycling can be measured on the total amount produced per year so long as it still 'encourages the use of .
mined material. The goal of this` standard it to `have the material mined at the site processed and moved
out`as quickly as possible so the mine is completed as soon as possible. If too much recyclable material is
brought into the p ro c essing, it can - extend the life of the mining operation and the ancillary uses associated
with the mine.., 4,
` Comment 14 is addressed in the attached draft ordinance that conveyors can the height when they
are used but must be lowered'when"they are not in use. For Comment 15, staff is supportive of language
that would clarify that the measurement would be from "the public right -of -way or neighboring property,
during the summer: ,, mer:
Staff is not supportive of changing the "high wind day" standard as requested in Comment` 16 because
dust must be addressed when it occurs. Setting a general standard may not address'when it is windy or
dusty depending upon where the mining is occurring onrthe site or which way the wind is blowing.
4 1
Staff will respond to language provided regarding Comment 17. Comments 20, 21, and 22' all apply to am
maximum total of 160 acres° being mined' at any one time. As noted earlier, staff is supportive of language :.
that clarifies that Dakota Aggregates can have two separate areas of up to 80 acres `open for a total 160
acres. That is the intent of the current language. If the draft is unclear staff would welcome some
recommendation from the applicant.
°
Staff has added language °regarding Comment 23 that the 'City Council may add a minimum amount of
time to mine before`a'24 month notice is issued, but staff does not support the language that Dakota
, Aggregates proposed. The language as proposed by Dakota Aggregates requires that there is,a minimum r
time given to mine, the time should be set in the mining permit if one is determined to be in the best
interest of the City. _ ,
'RECOMMENDATION
Provide feedback on the changes that staff has made to the Ordinance in response' to the comments
received. Provide comment on the issues that - staff has not proposed changes. €T <

`e 1: We'need to clarify that a performance bond (instead of cash or letter. of credit) can be posted for
1E the following: B
• Reclaiming what has not as yet been reclaimed
• Costs of final grading , x _
We assume that a cash deposit or letter �f credit will be required for the "special burden of street
repair" and for "replacing insufficient. landscaping ". We arrive at that conclusion because the
ordinance speaks of "an amount that can be immediately withdrawn" for those two items. Is our
understanding correct ? - Further; what expectation does the City have for the amount to 'cover the
"special burden of street repair" and for "replacing insufficient landscaping ". In addition, what
is the City's 'expectation on a per acre basis with regard to the amount of the performance-bond
to cover rehabilitation and final grading? i ' t
' C. Specific Comments. The following comments relate to specific items contained in
the subparts of Section 11- 10 -4 -1.. -
1. * Section 11- 10 -4 (K) imposes the requirement of an annual operating permit. The ro
" defined term is Annual Operating Permit. This permit' is referred to throughout the
. ordinance. About 20 to 30 times it is referred to as the, Annual Excavation Permit arid
' about .5 to 6 times it is referred to as the Annual Operating Permit.. Only "the defined term
should be namely, the Annual Operating Permit. w '
2. Subpart (C) contains - a definition of "mining' b setback This definition references a
distance from a "lot ". ,The reference should be to the property of the overall property ,
identified in the EIS.- ,. -'
3. " Subpart (E)(8)(d) only gives the applicant 12 months : after expiration of the Annual
Operating Permit to remove all buildings and structures. and to complete rehabilitation
(reclamation and restoration).- This is too short. Dakota Aggregates suggests 18 months. e
4. Subpart-(G) in the introductory paragraph states 'that certain facilities generate issues,
nuisances and adverse land impacts beyond the scope of the operation itself. The
language . should be .modified to state that these facilities "could" generate issues,
nuisances, eta.
3 _
A .
._ 5. The language in Subpart (G)(1) 'that an interim use - permit is "within the discretion of the
4 City Council. seems unnecessarily self- serving to the City. The language should be
1 - "within the discretion of theCity Council under law ".

18. Subpart .(H)(18) deals with lighting. One requirement is that "lighting may not illuminate

properties. ,.

19. Subpart (I)(2) deals with haul roads which (in the language of the ordinance') are the , ''
public roads that wilDbe used to ,transport material to the property as well as from the

and the term "haul route" usually refers to the external pa roads The terminology in
this section should conform to the industry use of these terms. ,
20. Subpart (I)(3) dealing wit pha is confusing. 'The phase 'Cannot 'exceed 80,acres. The $
` language says that ,Dakota Aggregates cannot proceed to the next phase unless at least
70% of the previous phase has been rehabilitated. Yet, the language 'says that ,the
operating permit cannot allow mining on more than 160 acres at one time. How do all ..
these numbers relate to each other?
y �
$.
21. Subpart (J)(1) dealing with phasing is confusing with respect to this issue of 160 acres .
r versus 80 acres. We need to clarify how many total acres can be open for mining at one
time.
1 22. In Subpart (J)(1) some words are missing. It should be that Dakota Aggregates cannot
proceed to the net phase unless 70% of the previous phase is reclaimed. The word
"70 %" is missing. 1
' 23. Subpart (J)(2) requires Dakota Aggregates to finish grading in an accelerated fashion if
the area is needed by the City for road right of way. Is this realistic? The same issue
arises with respect to trunk utility. services under Subpart (J)(3). The ordinance should
that advance notice cannot be'given until after a period of tine has
expire d as the set 24 in the inter im use permit for the operator to have the opportunity to mine
• the areas adjoining: the right of way and trunk utility lines.

DRAFT FEBRUARY PLANNING COMMISSION MINUTES
DAKOTA AGGREGATES EXCERPT
r 5.b. Dakota Aggregates Request for Ordinance Text Amendment to Allow Large Scale Mining (12 -02-
` ' I TA). Senior Planner Zweber stated the University of Minnesota is proposing to develop the 5,000 acre
UMore property (3,000 acres in Rosemount and 2,000 acres in Empire Township) into a mixed use
community of up to 30,000 people. Before the development occurs, the University and`their partner
, Dakota Aggregates are proposing to mine the western 1,600 acres of UMore over a °40 year period (25
-4 Sears in Rosemount and the final 15 years in Empire). The Rosemount Zoning Ordinance, does not ,
permit mining in UMore. Dakota Aggregates has requested a Zoning Ordinance Text Amendment to
allow mining in the western half of UMore.
s
Mr. Zweber
f. stated that staff has prepared a Large Scale Mineral Extraction Ordinance that would
regulate the mining request and recommends that the Planning Commission open the public hearing
and take testimony from all the public that is in attendance. He further recommended`to continue the _.
a public hearing to the March 27 Planning Commission meeting. This continuance will allow time to
evaluate the public testimony and consider revisions to the ordinance to address concerns raised.
Commissioner Miller asked about the monitoring methods the city will use for mit efforts of
noise and dust and whether or not it is appropriate to place the ancillary uses within an agricultural
zoned area rather than an industrial zoned area Mr. Zweber responded that establishing the
ordinance allows the applicant to apply.,forfla permit and deals with the standards for any mining
organization, not exclusive to Dakota Aggregates. The permit will address any mitigation efforts
I required. With respect to the ancillary uses, Mr. Zweber stated that Section G of the ordinance 1
. k addresses ancillary uses and it states they can only be active on the property as long as the mine is _
active. If the ancillary`uses were set up in an industrial zoned area, then they could stay there long
term regardless. R s k
Commissioner Demuth asked about' the compaction requirements. Mr. Zweber responded that the
ordinance is not specific as to what the requirements are but simply states in Section J8. that the , f
� material needs to be compactible.
r
1 Chairperson Powell asked staff to explain the process with the ordinance amendment and permitting
process and Mr. Zweber clarified the process.' _
f
' The applicant, - Timothy Becken from Dakota Aggregates, stated this has been a long process of
identifying issues and creating solutions involving a series of neighborhood He stated they '
are excited to be at this stage in the planning. ,
The public hearing was opened at 8:39p.m.
Kris Johnson, 14414 Atwater Way, stated that he is happy to hear that expl are prohibited, the
! landscape screening requirement should be "reviewed during the winter months when coverage is at a
minim"
inimutn berm be at least 20 feet high on the other side of the tree line which will aide in
dust protection, and that the truck traffic should be kept to County Road 46 if possible. He asked.
how the noise levels affect the current noise ordinance the city already has and asked the 'economic f
benefit the city will gain from the mining.

s. MEMO
TO: Rosemount Planning Commission
A City of Rosemount City Hall x 4
".: 2875 W. 145 Street
Rosemount, MN 55068 ,
` r 1 FROM: Dakota Aggregates, LLC-
. [ DATE: February 28, 2012 ,
a I RE: Comments on City of Rosemount Large Scale Mineral Extraction Ordinance
l Section` A. Introduction. Dakota` Aggregates, _LLC _ offers the following _co` rimrnents =and - —
suggestions with respect to the draft City - ordinance dealing with'' large scale mineral extraction.
This memo is divided into essentially two, parts. There are conceptual items that form the first
' part of the memo. The second part of the memo contains specific' comments about particular --
ambiguities with regardto certain sections of the ordinance.. .
.Section B. Conceptual Items. =The following comments in this Section B'relate to conceptual
issues that run throughout the ordinance.
r n ,
I : 1. Measurement of Distances. Throughout the ordinance, there are references to setbacks r
t" f or mining - and setbacks for ancillary uses, as well as performance standards (such as
i , ..
1 t those relating to dust, odors noise, air emissions and lighting) that `reference various
9 distances: There is no consistency with respect td'. how these physical distances are
measured. Some of the sections relate to a distance from the "lot line" and other sections
relate to the "property lines' and other sections relate to the "site line ". -What is meant by
lot? ,What is meant by site? As we know, the property is not platted so there are not
, 1 . defined lots in the traditional sense. Every time there is a reference to a distance it should
l be to the -"property line" of the overall property identified in the EIS:
r
2. Multiple Concrete Plants. Section 11- 10- 4- 1(G)(2)(a)(2) dealing with concrete plants is
confusing. The first sentence ,of the - section seems to indicate that there can be multiple y
concrete plants, but the rest of the section seems to , indicate that the only additional
concrete plant is a "secondary unenclosed portable ready mix- concrete, plant" that can be
used only while the primary plant is being built.. The important questions are how many
• permanent enclosed concrete plants can there be and whether there can be a seasonal
unenclosed concrete, plant.

Subject: umore mining article response
, r r
. „ .
. ,,
,There was a recently published article online'about mining taking place at UMore in the
future. This is my response to that article:'
n
1 I don't have a problemrwith the mining at UMore. I'm sure will become a big deal soon,
When all of the people who believe in global warmingstart speaking their opinion on it., I have` ,
l no problem with them speaking their opinion, because that's what I'm doing here, but I simply
believe they are wrong. I respect thei(opiniohs, but 'I don't agree with them. I am just giving
them an opposing view, and hoping they will agree with me. Like when people from my church
go to foreign countries and try convert them to Christianity. It's, the same concept, except
1' church is more important. And that's not an opinion, that's a fact. _,,
I ` Anyways, I'msure people will say thatmining here will leadto mining there, and then
there will be mining everywhere. That's where l believe these people are wrong. Everybody on s
this planet does care about the world in which they live in: We do want our planet to be abetter- a E.
place, we do want gas prices to go down, we do want more "people " be employed (not that this
is the Great Depression), but mining in a mineral -rich area is not going to ruin our lives,
i especially if we can potentially make 5 million dollars a year doing so.
2 rr Maybe I'm making too big of a deal out of this, but I "can see - arguments about the mining
f A
taking place in the future. And to quote Forrest Gump, "that's all I.have_to say-about that." ' v-
