SUMMARY
The University of Minnesota is proposing to develop the 5,000 acxe UMoxe property (3,000 acres in
Rosemount and 2,000 acres in Empire Township) into a m�ed use community of up to 30,000
people. Befoxe the development occurs, the UniveYSity and their parmer Dakota Aggregates are
pxoposing to mine the western 1,600 acres of the UMore property over a 40 year period (25 years in
Rosemount and the final 15 years in Empire). The current Rosemount Zoning Ordinance does not
permit minuig on UMore properry. Dakota Aggregates has requested a Zoning Ordinance Text
Amendment to allow inining in the western half of UMore. Staff has prepared a Large Scale Mineral
Extraction Ordinance that would layout the application and pernzitting process and regulates the
mining activiry.
On February 28, the Planning Commission conducted a public hearing for the text amendment
proposed to the Zoning Oxdinance to allow Large Scale Mineral Extraction (LSME) 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 seclions
of the proposed OYdinance. On March 13, the Planning Commission reviewed these comments at the
Work Session and provided comments on what sections of the Ordinance to amend. On March 27,
the Planning Commission continued the public hearing, heaxd from Myron Napper xegarding the
42/52 interchange, and closed the public hearing. A motion to recommend approval of the
Ordinance failed on a three to three vote and the Oxdinance was continued to the April 24 meeting.
Since March 27, staff has made revisions to OYdinance based on comments from Commissionexs
Demuth and Millex. Attached to this Executive Sutnmary are the xevised Ordinance and a redlined
Ordinance that shows the changes that have been made since the February 28 Public Hearing.
BACKGROUND
Febtuary 28 Planning Commissiori Meeting
S� residents spoke during the public hearing. An excerpt of the Planning Commission minutes is
attached to this sutnmary for reference. Beyond similar general comments as those received in the
written comments, there were several very specific comments. The residents requested that
screening should be measured for opaciry 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, and also asked about the current noise oxdinance. Another xesident
commented that the current 42/52 interchange could not support the anticipated truck traffic.
The followin� is staff xes�onses to the s�ecific comments:
• Staff does not suppoxt measuring the opacity in the winter because there will not be mining
in the winter. Measuring the opacity in the stunmex would be moxe appropriate since that is
when the mining activity will occux.
• Staff believes a berm 10 feet in height measuxed from the shoulder of the xoad is sufficient
because this will shield all vehicles fxom view during the mining opexation. Additionally, as
mining occurs equipment and activiry will move lower, as moxe gtavel is removed from the
site, furthex reducing visual impacts.
• The City does not have a stand-alone noise ordinance but either uses PCA or EPA standaxds
ox limits the noise through hours of opexation. To address potential noise impacts during
the evening, the ordinance recommends mining must end by 7:OOpm.
2
� Because the current pxocess is development of an ordinance, it would not be appropriate
through the ordinance to requ'tre landscaping on property outside of the miniug site. This is
something that will be discussed further through the perxnit process, should the ordinance
be adopted.
• The City and the County have the reconstruction of the County Road 42 and US Highway
52 interchange in the capital ixnprovement plans (CIP) and have submitted requests for State
and Federal funding.
• Per the draft ordinance, a 350 foot residential setback will apply to all residential buildings
from the muung activity, including any future residential built in UMore. The Ciry may
require a gxeater setback fxom the Bloomfield neighborhood as part of the mining permit
review process.
March 27 Planning Commission Meeting
On March 27, the Planning Commission continued the public hearing and the only resident that
provided comment was Myron Nappex. Mr. Napper continued to e�ress concern that County Road
42 and US Highway 52 interchange is in need of impxovement. Coxnmunity Development Director
Lindquist and Chair Powell both stated that the interchange was submitted fox State and Fedetal
funding but that the pxoject scored pooxly compased to other regional transportation pxojects and is
too low in the scoring to be funded.
Following the closing of the public hearing, the Planni.ng Commission discussion included a statement
by Commissioner Demuth that she would be voting against the Ordinance because many of the
concerns she had raised were not addxessed. 'The Planning Commission voted on a motion to
xecommend the City Council adopt the Ordinance but the motion failed on a 3-3 vote. Following the
vote, Chair Powell inquired if the Commissioners who voted aga.inst the motion had any suggested
changes to the Ordinance that would allow them to vote for the Ordinance. Commissioner Miller
stated that he desired more connection between the EIS and what the Ordinance regulated. 'I'he
Planning Commission continued the Oxdinance to the Apri124 meeting xequesting staff to add
language to strengthen the connection between the EIS and the Ordinance. Chair Powell requested
that Commissionex Demuth continue to discuss her concerns with staff and determine if any of the
concerns can be addressed.
Apri124 Planuing Commission Meeting
The Planning Commission xeviewed the eight revisions made to the Ordinance since the March 27
meeting. Commissioner Demuth thanked staff for the revisions made to the Ordinance.
Commissioners Powell and DiNella, asked for clarification on the additional groundwatex
monitoring. The Planning Commission unanimously recommended approval of the Ordinance.
REVISIONS TO THE ORDINANCE SINCE FEBRUARY 28
As a result of the comments received regarding the La.rge Scale Mineral Extraction Oxdinance, staff
has made 27 different revisions to the Oxdinance. Attached to this Executive Summary is a redlined
version of the Ordinance to call out the specific changes. In the following sections of the Executive
Summary, staff explains the comments received and how the comments were addressed. The
general topics of the twenty-seven revisions are as follows (change.r made to add�.cr Cornmi.crioner.r
Demuth and Miller.r' concern.r rai.red on March 27 are in italic.r):

LARGE SCALE MINERAL EXTRACTION ORDINANCE
The following briefly outlines the various sections of the proposed large scale mineral exttaction
ordinance.
Purpose Statement
Section 1 of the Ordinance explains the purpose and intent of allowing laxge scale mining. This
section will not be adopted into the ordinance text but would be used by future staff, City Council,
ox commissions to understand the background of why the text amendment was approved.
4
Interim Use in the Agricultural Zoning District
The text amendment must address what zoning district the mining can occur within and if a separate
permit is need to conduct the mixiing. Section 4 of the Oxdinance would add Large Scale Mineral
Extraction as an interim use in the AG — Agricultural zoning district. Section 3 removes mineral
extraction as a conditional use and Section 4 replaces it with Small Scale Mineral Extraction as an
interim use. It is important that mineral extraction is an interim use instead of a conditional use.
Mining is an interixn use because the land will be used for another use following the muung
completion. A conditional use could continue foxever.
Definitions and Changes to Existing Mineral Extract�on Otdinance
Section 2 of the Ordinance describes the difference between Laxge and Small Sca1e Mineral
Extraction and Section 5 makes the revisions necessary to the existing Mineral Extraction Ordinance
to make it the Small Scale Mineral Extraction Ordinance. The five existing mines in Rosemount will
still follow the same regulations as they do today. Section 6 describes the area in which any new
Small Scale Mineral Extraction operations could occur.
Overlay District, Review Process and Application Reqrrirements
Section 7, A through E describes the area within Rosemount where it is allowed to submit for a Laxge
Scale Mineral Extraction pexmit (south of County Road 42, west of Akron Avenue, north of County
Road 46, and east of Biscayne Avenue), the specific definitions related to mining, the process for
permit review and approval, and the material needed to be submitted to evaluate the permit
conditions.
Separate Interrm Use forArlcillary Uses
Section 7, G describes the ancillary uses that would be allowed (concrete and asphalt plants,
equipment repair shop, concrete casting yaxd, and aggregate processing� adjacent to the mining and
the specific standards that these uses must meet. The performance standards for these ancillary uses
are different than the mining operation itself and sepaxate permits are requited for these ancillary uses.
Performance Standards
Section 7, H describes the pexformance standards the mining operation will need to follow. The
issues described hexe include hours of operations, noise and dust standaxds, access routes, screening
standards, topsoil handling, water pxotection, and lighting. This section of the oxdinance addresses
the majoriry of the issues raised at the neighborhood meeting conducted by the University of
Minnesota and Dakota Aggregates. The standards axe similar, but not identical, to the standards of
the Small Scale Mineral Extraction Ordinance. It can be anticipated that a good portion of the
public comments offexed at the public hearing will be specific to this section of the ordinance.
Reclamation, Restoration, and Rehabilitation
Section 7, J describes the requirement that the mining operation must conduct to return the finished
mine to a condition that would be suitable for urban development. Staff is particularly concerned
with the detail of this section because this section needs to foresee issues that may not arise unti125
or more years from when a minulg pexmit is issued. If these standards are not sufficient, then the
urban development that follows may be of a lesser quality than if the UMore pxoperty were
developed as it e�sts today.
Annual Operating Permit
Section 7, K describes how the annual operating permit would be reviewed and issued. The annual
operating permit may be analogous to a liquor license for a bar. 'I'he overall Large Sca1e Mineral
Extraction pexmit will describe the complete mining operation, while the annual pertnit deals
specificalty with the axea being mined that yeax. Similax to how a bar could request a liquor license
5
modification for adding an outdoor pario and the Council would determine condirions specific to
the patio, the annual pexmit would allow the Council to evaluate the specific mining areas mined that
year. However, the Commission and Council should be aware that any anticipated concerns or
regulations should be set out as conditions of the mining permit. By being more conservative during
the initial review, the City can modify specific standards during the annual operational permit review.
WRITTEN COMMENTS RECEIVED
Resident and General Public Comments
Staff has received six written comments regarding the Ordinance pxoposal. One letter was in
support of mining and one letter was in opposition, questioning if there will be a decrease in their
property value. The othex three letteYS expressed concerns about the volume of traffic, noise and
dust. The Orclinance does not address traffic volume dixecdy but does limit the txuck traffic to
collector or arterial roads. Noise is addressed in dxaft Ordinance sections H.2. limiting 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 addtess dust associated with the mining activity. These measures are found in draft
OYdinance sections H.2. limiting the location of accesses; H. 3. requiring setbacks to mining
activities; H.S, addressing scxeening and berming; H.9. xequiring the first 150 feet of the access road
to be paved; H.10. allowing the City to require a dust control plan; H.16. requiting land to be
vegetated when the mining is complete; and I.3. limiting the amount of land open to mining to a
total of 160 acxes.
'The s�th comment was an e-mail from Leslie Evexett, a staff inember from the University of
Minnesota, quesrioning the way the City Council doesn't require the Universiry to mine the eastern
half of UMore and pxeserve the agricultural land on the west half of UMore. Staff responded that
the University, as land owner, has the right to propose mining on the west half, that the University is
woYking with BarY Engineering on the xemedial investigation of UMore, and that the City and
University are conducting an AUAR for the potenrial development of UMore.
Written Questions &om CommissionerDemuth
Staff has met with Commissionex Demuth and had several follow up phone conversations to clarify
possible Oxdinance changes. As a result of the discussions, language has been added to define clean
fill, clarify inforxnation requested and issues to be addressed in the hydrogeological study and
groundwater monitoring plan, clarify performance standards for surface water and groundwater, and
add a requirement that the haul-back material testing results be submitted and approved by sta.ff
before the material is brought to the site. These changes pxompted Coxrunissioner Demuth to
provide a revised comment lettex dated Apri116. This letter is attached to the Executive Summary
and staffls responses to the concerns within the lettex are provided below.
Clean Fill Definition: Staff has added the language to define "clean fill".
Envimnmentallmmpacts: Commissioner Demuth has requested that staff contact each agenry that
commented on the EIS to determine whether they are happy with the Univexsiry responses in the
EIS. Sta.ff intends to use the EIS as the basis for many of the permit conditions. Should there be
issues raised by other agencies, aside from the City, that are within the prevue of City regulation,
those items may be included in the pexmit.
StreetSweeping.• City Code Section 10-1-12 D. addresses street sweeping.
6
Katio ofAggregate Proce.c.ring: Staff has spent a lot of time in the ordinance development process trying
to balance the minuig interest with the desire for future development. The projected 40-year life
span of the lnining is daunting and the mining itself will certainly have an impact on the timing and
locarion of UMore property development. To permit additional aggxegate recycling than what is
proposed will only incxease the life of the mine, postpoxung development further. While recycling is
an adxnirable goal, the regulation is intended to move the min;ng along to get to the Ciry's primary
goals: development, jobs, and increased tax base.
Toj� Soil.• The ordinance has a requixement that all top soil existing over the areas to be reclaimed as
dry land will be xetained on site and used in xeclamation. The soil borings have shown that there is
currendy top soil well in excess of s� inches and this top soil will be used to form berms around the
mining. When the mine is xeclaimed, the undulating reclamation surface will have a larger surface
area than the cuxrent relatively flat surface. Additionally, due to the phased nature of the
reclamation, the berms will be removed only if they do not provide screening for the next mining
phases. Therefore some of the soil will remain as berms along the perimetex of the mine and future
development. As a result, the amount of top soil e�sting in an area many not be identical to the
amount of top soil returned after reclamation has occurred. The si�c inch minimtun is a reasonable
standard that will allow a future developrnent of the propexry. It is expected that most of the
xeclamation aYeas will have moxe than s� inches of top soil.
Du.ct Control.• Staff is interested in a regulation that ensures dust is not an issue out on the site, or in
the surrounding neighboxhoods. By using the phxase "as needed" that may mean dust control will
only occux on a complaint basis, ox when specifically requested by the Ciry. The accountability for
dust control is upon the operatox not the City when language such as "regular basis" is used. Staff
understa,nds Comrnissioner Demuth's concerns of chlorides used in dust control products and has
forwarded the Missouri DNR document on alternative dust control products to Dakota Aggxegates.
Haul-back Operations: Staff has added language to xequire the haul-back material testing be submitted
and appxoved before it is btought and deposited at the mine.
In.rpection.r: Inspections will occur as needed and based upon availability of staff dependent upon
other City priorities and wozk tasks.
G�nundwaterMonitoring Plan: Staff has added language to clarify the purpose of the hydrogeological
study and the groundwater monitoxing plan.
Drinking d�' Surface tY�ater Concern.r.• Staff shares Commissioner Demuth's concerns about drinking
and surface water. To clarify how they will be addressed, staff has added language in the oxdinance
to specifically identify that the sutface water of the groundwater-feed lake will need to be monitoxed
as well as any tributary watex bodies; that the elevation of the Pxairie Du Chien aquifer be
determined and the appropriate buffer be maintained between the mine and the aquifer; and the
applicant must have an approved surface water protection plan and employee training ready to
contain and remediate any spill ox accident that risks water contamination.
Bevocation of Permit.• Staff has added language on how the City may enforce the perniit conditions and
revoke the perxnit if necessary. This la,nguage is similar to language from the City's Water Resources
Ordinance and business licenses.
7
Contamination: Specifics about the site for mining will be addressed during the perxnitting process.
Further discussion is needed on the appropriate investigation and remediation standards for the site
intended fox mining. The Gopher Ordnance Works (GO� gunpowder production lines were not
within the proposed LSME overlay district and there are no sites identified in the delisted UMore
supexfund recoxd of decision within the inining ovexlay district.
Dakota Aggregates' Ordinance Comments
Dakota Aggtegates submitted a letter on March 13 that requested a number of changes that were
discussed during the Planning Commission Work Session and resulted in seventeen of the twenty-
seven revisions to the Ordinance. As a result of these revisions, Dakota Aggxegates provided a
memoxandum dated May 9 that describes their xemauung request. This memorandum is attached to
the Executive Summary. The remaining issue is the section relating to notification by the City that a
trunk utility ox major road is needed and that mining in that area would need to cease within two
years. The applicant is requesting additional language which gives the applicant more protection,
requiring the City to meet certain conditions before providing notice.
The Ordinance that was recommended by the Planning Commission allows the City to issue Dakota
Aggregates a notice that the mining must be completed within trunk utility or major roadway
coxridors within twenty foux (24) months. Dakota Aggregates requests language that adds
requirements under which a City Council can determine a need for the infrastructure. Staff does not
suppoxt any additional burden on the City. This has been a very important issue throughout the
discussion of a mining ordinance. As mining is an interim use, no interim use should pxevent the
development of the neighboring properties. The Comprehensive Plan states that "(t)hese (interim)
uses can often occur on propexty that is years away from developing, but the City has the interest to
ensure that the incompatible uses cease ox relocate as development approaches." Staff and Dakota
Aggregates had negotiated that this interest can be met by requiring a twenty four (24) month notice.
Staff is standing by the 24-month standaxd. The council rnay, in implementing this section, choose
to meet the standards recommended by the applicant, provide additional notice above the twenty
four months ox never evoke the notice, but staff does not believe it is in the best interest of the City
to legislate additional standaxds relating to the City's behavior. The ordinance is in place to protect
the City and its residents by regulating the muung operation. An ordinance should not be in place to
regulate the behaviox of the City. The City Council, during the appxoval process can make those
decisions.
Additionally, the proposed language may actually result in a less desirable outcome fox Dakota
Aggregates. To provide for oYderly development, a future Ciry Council can consider rezoning the
property or revoking the entire mining Interim Use Pernut. The more of a burden that the City
Council has to provide for future infrasttuctute, the more likely that a future City Council would
revoke the entire interim use permit. This would shut down the enrire mining operation and
therefoxe be counter to the current desire of Dakota Aggregates.
Dakota Covuty Comment Letter
The Dakota County Physical Development Director provided the City a letter with a numbex of
suggested additions to the ordinance. The letter primarily deals with requitements that are in the
County's e�sting Solid Waste or Hazardous Waste Oxdinances or language from a proposed
xevision to the Solid Waste Ordinance. Staff discussed the letter with David Swenson, Dakota
County Water Resources Ditector. Staff discussed that it may be better that the city reference
compliance with the County Oxdinance requirements rather than cite specific, individual standaxds.
This will capture any changes to the County ordinance amendments without requiring the City to
modify oux ordinance. Mr. Swenson agreed with that strategy and emphasized that the County letter
was suggestions.
8
In response, staff added Section H. 19. that states the operator must comply with applicable federal,
state, and county regulations. Staff will review the suggestions in the County letter during permit
review to see if any of the specific language should be used within the annual opexating permit.
NEXT STEP: Ordinance Adoption and Permit Application
If the City Council adopts the proposed Text Amendment, that does not give Dakota Aggregates a
permit to begin mining. Following the adoption of the ordinance, Dakota Aggregates will need to
submit for the Large Scale Mineral Extraction permit. T'hat review will require a public hearing in
front of the Planning Commission in which the public can provide comment specific to the minuig
operation pxoposed and the Planning Commission can recommend conditions dealing specifically
with the concerns xaised. Following the initial permit being issued, annually Dakota Aggregates will
need to request renewal of the Annual Operating Permit. The Annual Opexating Permit will require
its own public hearing in front of the Planning Commission and the Planning Commission can
recommend specific conditions at that time that would address the concerns xaised at that time.
The tentative schedule fox mining review is:

PLANNING COMMISSION REGULAR MEETING
FEBRUARY 28, 2012
5.b. Dakota Aggregates Request for Ordinance Text Amendment to Allow Large Scale Mining (12-02-
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 mi�ced use
community of up to 30,000 people. Before the development occurs, the University and their parmer
Dakota Aggregates are proposing to mine the western 1,600 acres of UMore over a 40 year period (25
years in Rosemount and the final 15 years in Empire). The Rosemount Zoning Ordinance does not
permit mining in UMoxe. Dakota Aggxegates has requested a Zoning Ordinance Text Amendment to
allow muviig in the western half of UMore.
Mr. Zweber 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
public heaxing 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 ciry will use for mitigation 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 for a pertnit and deals with the standaxds for any mining
organization, not exclusive to Dakota Aggrega.tes. T'he pexmit will address any mitigation efforts
required. With xespect to the ancillary uses, Mr. Zweber stated that Section G of the ordinance
addresses ancillary uses and it sta.tes 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 forever.
Commissioner Demuth asked about the compaction requirements. Mr. Zweber responded that the
ordinance is not specific as to what the requixements are but sixnply states in Section J.8. that the
material needs to be compactible.
Cha.irperson Powell asked staff to explain the process with the ordinance amendment and permitting
pxocess and Mr. Zwebex clarified the pxocess.
'The applicant, Timothy Becken, from Dakota Aggregates, sta.ted this has been a long process of
identifying issues and creating solutions involving a series of neighborhood meetings. 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 explosives are prohibited, the
tree requirement should be reviewed during the winter months when coverage is at a tiini* the
berm should 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 alxeady has and asked the economic benefit the
city will gain from the mining.
Ray MaYtin, 2310 Beech Street, suggested planting trees on the north side of County Road 42 to give
additional protection from the noise and view.
Myron Napper, 3381 145�' Street East, stated he was happy that UMore will finally use the pxoperty
constructively and begin to pay the real estate taxes but he stated he is concerned about the additional
traffic and whether or not the current infrastructure will sufficiently handle it.
Nathan Denny, 14404 Atwater Way, asked what parties are involved in the permit process and
requested the setback off of County Road 42 be increased to 1300 foot minimum.
Deneace Tucek, 14140 Autumnwood Trail, stated she is concerned with the dust and noise and also
safery issues involved with damages to passing cars and roadways fxom rocks and sands coming from
the trucks. She asked why this particular parcel was chosen for mining when the University owns so
much property in the area.
Kevin Bartol, 14398 Atwater Way, asked how the added expense will be mitigated to the residents
from the sand in the furnace filters and a.ir conditionexs and how the noise will be controlled from the
truck traffic on County Road 42.
There were no further public comments.
Mr. Zweber gave the tentative schedule of the ordinance and permitting process and stated that
residents will have additional opportunities to voice their concerns.
CoxYUnissioner Irving asked the applicant how long they plan on operating the ancillary uses even after
the nuning in Rosemount is completed. Mr. Becken replied that they plan to opexate the ancillary uses
throughout the 40 years of miniilg in Rosemount and Empire Township.
Commissioner Miller asked if the ordinance could specifically state that the EIS is available for public
review. Mr. Zwebex stated that staff can post the EIS on the website or provide a link to UMore's
website and it will be ava.ilable for viewing at Ciry Hall.
MOTION by Irving to continue the public hearing to the March 27, 2012, Planning
Commission meeting.

Ayes: 7. Nays: None. Motion approved. Public hearing was continued at 9:06p.m.

MARCH 27, 2012
5.b. Dakota Aggregates Request for Ordinance Text Amendment to Allow Large Scale Mining (12-
02-TA). Dakota Aggregates has submitted a request for an amendment to Section 11-10-4 of the
zoning ordinance to allow mining in an area of Rosemount located west of Akron Avenue and south
of County Road 42 which is currently not allowed so as not to interfere with orderly growth and
expansion of public utilities. This is a continuation of the public hearing opened at the February 28,
2012, Planning Commission meeting and continued to the March 27, 2012 meeting. Senior Planner
Zweber reviewed the staff xeport and explained the changes made since the February 28�' meeting
and how the public comments were addressed. City Attorney LeFevere explained why the area
should not be zoned industrial rather than rernaixiing agricultural. Mr. LeFevere also addressed the
issue of the extension of streets and utilities into the mining area.
The public hearing was re-opened at 7:52p.m.
Myron Napper, 3381 145�' Street East, stated he spoke at a previous meeting about the safety hazard
of increased traffic on the Counry Road 42 and Highway 52 infrastructure and asked when it will be
addxessed. He stated he is in favor of the mining.
Thexe were no fixrther public comments.
MOTION by Ege to close the public hearing.
Second by Miller.
Ayes: 6. Nays: None. Motion approved. Public hearing was closed at 7:57p.m.
In response to the question about the interchange improvements, C�mmunity Development Director
stated that the county had applied for State funding for the intexchange and it scoxed too low to
qualify. Chairpexson Powell confirmed that the pxoject does not score well regionally compared to
other pxojects applying for funding.
Commissionex Miller asked if the traffic patterns will be discussed in the permitting pxocess and Mr.
Zweber stated that the traffic plan can be reevaluated at that time.
Commissioner Demuth stated she had submitted two pages of change and that only one of the
changes had been approved so she will not be able to vote in favor of this item.
Chairperson Powell asked staff to discuss the letter received from Dakota County and Commissioner
Demuth's requested changes. Mx. Zweber stated many of the suggested changes are specific in nature
and would be more appropriate to discuss incorporating at the pexmitting process. He also stated that
some of Commissionex Demuth's changes are similar or the same as the Counry's regulations and
while staff agrees that the County regulations should be followed and their ordinances can be sited
within the ordinance, the specific language does not have to be stated in the ordinance. Mr. Zweber
stated that Commissioner Demuth has requested the current County definition of clean fill be
adopted, while the Counry letter requests a definition of clean fill that5 is proposed within a draft
County Ordinance amendment. Mx. Zweber stated that if out ordinace says that the County
regulations need to be followed, then our ordinance would not need to be amended if the County
amended their regulations. Mr. Zweber further stated that the applicant's groundwater monitoring
plan will be reviewed in more detail during the pertnitting process.
Commissioner Demuth stated there needs to a timeline when the groundwater monitoring plan is to
be submitted; she would like more language regarding the groundwater monitoring plan; and
reclamation should include enough top soil to accommodate the growth of crops.
Commissioner MilleY stressed the importance of including control in the ordinance over groundwater
connectivity which could occur in a laxge scale mining operation.
Chairperson Powell stated that while he appreciated Commissionex Demuth's concerns, he felt staff
has strived to meet all of the issues raised. He further stated he is familiar with mining sites and
reclamation plans and has never seen a three foot requirement for top soil.
MOTION by Powell to xecommend the City Council Adopt an Ordinance Relating to
Large Scale Mineral Extraction; Amending Rosemount City Code, Sections 11-1-4, 11-4-1
and 11-10-4 and Adding New Section 11-10-4-1.
Second by Ege.
Ayes: 3. Nays: Demuth, Miller, DiNella. Motion was not approved with a 3-3 vote.
Chairperson Powell asked the commissioners who voted against the motion to share their reasons.
Conunissioner Miller stated he is looking fox language in the ordinance that holds the applicant
accountable at the permitting process for the requirements in the ordinance.
Mx. Zweber stated that the Commission can deny a pernut if the applicant does not meet the
ordinance requirements. Commissioner Miller added that any operation that impacts the
groundwater needs to be addressed early in the ordinance. Mr. Zweber clarified the difference
between and ordinance and a pernzit and stated that the ordinance requires an EIS and describes all
regulations that the applicant needs to meet. During the permitting process, specific issues are
examined and evaluated whether ox not the applicant is following the ordinance regulations. If the
applicant does not meet those requirements, Mr. Zweber further stated that the Commission can
then deny the permit.
Mr. Lindquist clarified that the EIS has already been performed and asked Commissioner Miller
what specific language he would like to see in the ordinance. It was decided that language should be
included in the ordinance that states that the issues raised through the EIS will be properly evaluated
and can be used as the basis for additional pexmit conditions associated with the permit issuance.
Chairperson Powell asked staff if the item should be tabled to give staff time to incorporate
language into the ordinance that addtesses the co�unissioners' concerns.
Commissioner Ege stressed that she would not want these actions to be precedent setting and would
want each permit to be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. Ms. Lindquist made the assurance that
each permit would stand alone with similar requirements to meet but each separate situation would
be addressed.
MOTION by Powell to continue the item to the Apri124, 2012, Planning Comtnission
meeting.
Second by Weber.
Commissioner Demuth stated she still has other concerns that have not been addressed.
Chairperson Powell instructed Commissionex Demuth to meet with staff individually and he will
inquire at the next meeting if her concerns were met.
Ayes: 6. Nays: None. Motion was appxoved. The item was tabled to the Apri124, 2012

zoning ordinance to allow mining in an area of Rosemount located west of Akron Avenue and south
of County Road 42 which is ciarrently not allowed so as not to interfere with oxderly growth and
expansion of public utilities. This is a continuation of the public hearing opened at the February 28,
2012, Planning Commission meeting and closed at the March 27, 2012 meeting. Mr. Zweber
explained the changes made to the ordinance since the March 27, 2012 meeting.
Commissioner Demuth thanked staff for addressing her concerns.
Chairperson Powell asked how the surface water pollution plan is xelated, if at all, to the wellhead
protection plan. Mr. Zweber stated that the wellhead protection plan does not cover the entire
mining area and may need to be revised in the process of completing the AUAR. He stated the two
plans will provide two ways of monitoring the lake.
Co�unissioner DiNella asked what the procedure is if it is discovered that the City's groundwater
has been compromised. Mr. Zweber responded that Ciry staff will require all activity to be stopped
citing violation of the ordinance until the problem can be corrected. However, Mr. Zweber, clarified
that it is required to conduct routine inspections of the groundwatex above the aquifer thatthe City's
drinking water is drawn, so if something is detected, it could be corrected before the City's drinking
water is affected. Project Engineer Olson also added that the City does regular testing of each city
well for a wide variety of contaminants.
MOTION by Powell to recommend that the City Council Adopt an Ordinance Relating to
Laxge Scale Mineral Extraction; Amending Rosemount City Code, Sections 11-1-4, 11-4-1

Eric,
I understand that there has been some discussion about whether it would
be more appropriate to accommodate the construction of certain uses
associated with a gravel mine, such as a concrete plant, by rezoning
agricultural property to an industrial zoning designation or by allowing
such uses by the issuance of an interim use permit ("IUP").
The answer to the question depends primarily on whether the city believes
that an industrial zoning designation is appropriate for the indefinite
future in that location. Rezoning to industrial uses has two elements
that are significantly different than authorizing a concrete plant (for
example) by interim use permit.
The first difference is that rezoning the property to industrial would
carry with it the riqht for the landowner to construct any use that is
permitted in the industrial zone, not just concrete and asphalt plants.
The second difference is that once an�industrial use is constructed as a
permitted use in an industrial zone, the city cannot require that use to
be terminated without compensating the landowner. Taking away the ability
to continue to operate a lawful use may be a legitimate zoning decision
for the city to make.
However, when a city requires that an existing lawful use be terminated,
the city must compensate the landowner for the loss of that business.
(This is based on the constitutional prohibition against the taking of
property without compensation.) If the city were to rezone the property
to industrial and the owner established a concrete plant, and if the City
later changed the zoning of the property to residential, the city could
either: 1) allow the concrete plant to continue to operate as a
"grandfathered use" (i. e. a nonconforming industrial use in the
residential district), or 2) require the property to be brought into
compliance with residential zoning and pay the landowner for taking its
business.
An interim use, on the other hand, authorizes a use that is expected to
have a limited duration. Therefore, because the original grant of
authority to construct the use is limited to a specified period of time,
or to the occurrence of a specified event, it is not a taking of private
property when the city requires that use to be discontinued at that later
date.
Permitted uses, accessory uses, conditional uses, and all other typical
uses become lawful uses of the property, and the government cannot
require that they be discontinued without compensating the landowner. The
allowance of a use by IUP is the only means the city has to limit the
term of an allowed use without paying compensation to the landowner if
the city requires it to be terminated at a later date.
Let me know if you have any follow-up questions.

Sir, as an over the road driver I will not be able to make the Commission meeting on Feb
28 cn
As my father told me many times "Son you can't stop progress". As a matter of fact I like
the idea of mining gravel just across County Rd 42 from our house. It will keep some
more Americans working for sure. I know there will be steps taken to keep the ugliness
dovv�i if you will.
My main concern is the potential noise of the trucks hauling the material out. ,
Will the city of Rosemount finally be putting up signs on County Road 42, such as Noise
Ordinance Enforced, No Engine brakes, No Jake Brakes, etc? If so will these matters be
enforced by our local Police?
As a truck driver with over 3 million miles of safe driving under my belt, I only use my
engine brake when going down steep mountain roads. In my opinion if an engine brake is
used on flat roads it is because the truck is probably going too fast for conditions. But
some of the new drivers that have never been in a truck in the mountains will argue this
fact. They seem to love the noise an unmuffled truck with a 3ake Brake makes. I can
assure you my wife our neighbors and myself do not like this noise.
When Mayor Droste was campaigning those years ago, he came to our door. He and I
talked about just this matter. He said if he became Mayor it would be looked into. I guess
it never was but I sure hope it will be now. Thank you in advance for looking into this
matter.

Subject: Upcoming public hearing re UMore gravel mining
I am out of state and not fully tuned in to reports on this issue, but I am concerned with what I see
regarding this proposed gravel mining operation. lt appears that it is a foregone conclusion that
Rosemount is going to approve a zoning amendment to allow this operation. The following is
reportedly a quote from Rosemount senior planner Eric Zweber, "Once the ordinance amendment is
approved Dakota Aggregates will be able to apply for a mining permit..."
This cannot be in the best interest of the residents of this city. We need to move away from the
"gravel truck central" image of the past. Rosemount is no longer a little country burg. It has become
a major suburban city and, as such, needs to prevent this type of operation. The traffic alone will
choke 42 and we know from past experience that the drivers wifl find alternate routes which will
create additional safety issues in our town.
Please listen to the residents of this city and disailow this operation.
Thanks,
V. Larry Smith

• Dust is a major concern
o Even though there witl be dust reduction measures in place, they will only be in place
"whenever possible" (see tabbed document� and this is not good enough if they are the I/����`�'"�
same that Fischer Aggregate has in pface aiong Highway 46 (Cobblestone neighborhood) ��i� 1 i �Yj'1
o The dust will carry for miles, which is common in limestone mining. With limited J�{�'�GLY'�"�
physical barriers, this dust will trave! free{y until the wind is disrupted by the homes in :�i �� �'� �.=w.�t
its path. ; p�, ���,��, ���,
o The berm is essential however,l0 feet is not high enough along Highway 42 due to the � ��''���^.���r�
elevation change along 42 at Auburn Avenue. �'',�,,,� ��
■ The berm should be a minimum of 20 to 30 feet high due to the height of the
homes
■ The burm shoufd be made of a harder aggregate and be porous to disrupt wind
flow over the bermming, they are mining limestone after all and the resource is
obviously in abundant supply
• This will help also help create a rough filter to trap surface levet dusts
and wil! last a lot long than vegetation that will die
o This berm shouid be installed around the mining site itself and not along Highway 42,
which is too far away from the site
o Prevailing winds appear to be from the Southeast to the Southwest, as identified in the
2005 document regarding Pine Bend (see tabbed documentJ.
• We have probably all experienced the dustbowl in AppIQ Va(fey along Highway
42 and Highway 46 by Target during the summer when southerly winds
increase.
o The dust that is possib{e will create problems for homeowners including:
■ Furnace filter replacement more frequently
■ Dust and dirt being required to be washed off of homes and out of windowsilis
• quicker degradation of windows and siding
■ Certain high wind days will create an exterior environment outside the home
that will not be able to be enjoyed with the chitdren in the neighborhood
• We will not be able to open our windows either on a nice b�eery spring
day
� This also leads to higher energy costs
• 7raffic and Noise
o Normal street noise is considered to be about 70 decibels (which corresponds with the
statements, see the tabbed document/article}
o Washing and crushing is estimated at 65 decibels once it reaches the homes along
Highway 42, however this noise will be constant during all operating hours of the
factory, and:
■ This wiil be especially bothersome if 24-hour operatian is approved. Since there
is limited traffic during the evening hours, we wiil be able to hear this with open
windows.
o Truck trafFic will add 262 truck trips a day to Highway 42 (see tabbed document)
■ 7his equates to a truck passing our homes every 2.74 minutes at a decibel level
of + 90 decibels. It is a proven fact that noises at or above 90db regularly causes
ear damage. (see tabbed document)
■ The increase in truck traffic will degrade Highway 42 at a faster rate, which in
turn costs more tax money.
■ The dust and dirt from the trucks will cause problems for matorists and
homeowners a4ike with added foad dust and mud on roads from trucking after
rain.
o I think � can speak for all homeowners along Highway 42 that we would like a{I truck
t�affic routed to Highway 45, away from residential areas.
■ This would allow for Highway 46 upgrades as necessary and not impede current
traffic patterns on Highway 42, which can be dangerous enough without the
add'+tional truck traffic.
a Blasting/Explosives
o This has not yet been mentioned and it is a common limestone mining practice.
o What are the plans for blasting?
o This will further disrupt residents in the area due to noise and vibrations
• Property vaiues
o A major concern is property values due to the fact that we will now be right next to a
limestone mine
■ UMore Development has done a market research study, where is it?
■ Property values in the current depressed housing market have been detlining
enough (approximately $50,000-$60,0�/house in our neighborhood alone) and
now you are putting a mining project in our backyard that will furthec decrease
our home values due to the environmental impacts.
■ Resale of the homes in the neighbor will become even more difficuft, especially
for the homes along Highway 42, since we will have a direct view of the mine
and all of the byproducts of the mine, added coad noise, etc.
■ Will there be any tax relief for the residents affected by this project.
o What impact do you think this mine will have on the new neighborhood next to
Bloomfield up to Akron Avenue?
■ If houses do �ot sell due to the location of this mine, afl of the infrastructure
that has been put in place by the City will sit unused and be a waste of taxpayer
money.
■ It would be pertinent to let potential home buyers know of the mining project
as most wi11 probably not know, just as 1 didn't when we purchased our homes.
� Environmenta{ impact
0 1 hate to bring it up, but what is the environmentai impacC to wildlife in the area?
■ It is a proven fact that all wildlife will teave the area of the mine due to mining
operations (i.e. dust, noise, blasting, elimination of vegetation, etc.) (see tabbed
document)
o Has the environmental impact been considered for wildlife?
■ I have concerns for deer, red-tai! hawks, bald eagles, geese, pheasants, turkeys,
and coyotes that are known to be in the area of UMore park, right next to
Highway 42 south of my home
• Additional questions
o What economic impact will this operation have on the City?
o How does the noise impact any noise ordinance the City already has?
o Would you put this mine next to a school? Or build a school next to this mine? If not:
■ Why would anyone wa�t to live in these neighborhoods or buy a house in these
neighborhoods knowing that mining is going to start and last for 40 years?
o We want to see the City stand up for the people who five here and protect the interest
of the people who live here. You have had your concerns over this project as it has been
published in the paper.

Subject: umore mining article response
There was a recently published article online about mining taking place at UMore in the
future. This is my response to that article.
I don't have a problem with the mining at UMore. I'm sure it will become a big deal soon,
when all of the people who believe in global warming start speaking their opinion on it. I have
no problem with them speaking their opinion, because that's what I'm doing here, but I simply
believe they are wrong. I respect their opinions, 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 to convert them to Christianity. It's the same concept, except
church is more important. And thaYs not an opinion, that's a fact.
Anyways, I'm sure people will say that mining here wilf lead to mining there, and then
there will be mining everywhere. That's where I believe these people are wrong. Everybody on
this planet does care about the world in which they live in. We do want our planet to be a better
place, we do want gas prices to go down, we do want more people to be employed (not that this
is the Great Depression), but mining in a mineral-rich area is not going to ruin our lives,
especially if we can potentially make 5 million dollars a year doing so.
Maybe I'm making too big of a deal out of this, but I can see arguments about the mining
taking place in the future. And to quote Forrest Gump, "that's all I have to say about that."

Subject: Re: Mining at UMore Park
Eric,
Thanks for the link to the Barr Engineering remedial investigation.
I cannot speak to the long term plans for the site from the standpoint of the City of Rosemount, however I can
say from long-term observation of proceedings that the only reason that agricultural research is not part of the
long term University plans for the western third of UMore Park is because of the gravel mining revenue sought
by the previous UM administration. If the City does not approve the change in land use, then agricultural
research will most certainly remain as the long term use of that land. Development of a residential community
40 years from now is not the motivating force behind, nor will be financed by, the University.
Thanks again,

The remedial investigation is available on the UMore website at:

On the website, you will also see the UMore Concept Plan. This concept plan is the basis for the AUAR scenarios that I
mentioned in my previous e-mail. The concept plan cafl for the mixed use development that has more green space than
a typicai devefopment, but it does not maintain the agricultural research land on the west side of UMore. Neither the
University nor the City is planning for maintaining nor preserving the western agricultural research tand as a long term

Subject: Re: Mining at UMore Park
Hello Eric,
Thanks for your response to my question to the City Council. I agree that the City has to respond to the
University in its request for an amendment to allow mining the western portion of UMore Park. My question is
why would the City approve such an amendment when refusal would preserve the current green space
(agricultural research land} and likely shift the mining to the eastern side, assuring remediation of the old
ordnance site? As mentioned, there would be no UMore community development before the 40 year mining
window on the current research site, and even then there is no guarantee of development in the absence of UM
financing. Community planning under those circumstances would appear to be motivated more by trying to sell
the mining permit than guiding what the market may be and what might be built 40 years from now.
Is the Barr Engineering report now public?
Thanks much,

The University of Minnesota submitted the gravel mining request for the western portion of UMore Park. As the
landowner, the University has the right to submit a text amendment to allow gravel mining and the City must review and
consider what is submitted.
Today, we have meet with University and Barr Engineering staff to review the Remedial Investigation for the eastern
portion of UMore Park. Next week, the City will be conducting the first open house for the alternative urban areawide

Rosemount City Council Members Mark DeBettignies, Matt Kearney, Kim Shoe-Corrigan, and
Jeff Weisensel,
I am a resident of St. Paul and not Rosemount, but do have the following question regarding the
proposed mining at UMore Park. Why would the City want to approve mining the western
agricultural research space for the next forty years, when the eastern portion of UMore Park is
both available for mining and in need of reclamation now? Before accepting the assumption that
chemical contamination of the ordinance precludes beginning there, it would be advisable to first
review the results of the Barr Engineering study being completed on that topic.
Redevelopment of the western site forty years from now is not assured since the University of
Minnesota has no plans to reinvest the proceeds of the mining into housing and
commerciallindustrial development. It would seem to be much more in the City's interest to start
the mining and reclamation on the ordinance plant site (eastern part) now, instead of replacing
agricultural research land adjacent to City center with a mine pit.
Perhaps this note could be passed on to your Planning Commission as well?
Thanks much for your attention,

ROSEMOUNT LARGE-SCALE MINERAL EXTRACT{ON TEXT AMENDMENT
Comments from Dakota County Water Resources staff
11-10-4-1
D. Review Process
b. Environmental Impacts
The land within the proposed Large Scale Mineral Extraction Overlay District is a Formerly
Utilized Defense Site, the Gopher Ordnance Works. Therefore, there are portions of the mining
area where prior land use indicates a possibility of contaminated soil. We recommend that the
City add the following language to the amendment: If contamination is found, the property
owner and the mine operator risk becoming responsible parties if contamination is disturbed and
not addressed in accordance with Federa! and State laws, and Dakota County Ordinance No. 110.
Asbestos-containing materials (ACMs) are afso a potential concern at this site because of their
ubiquitous use at Gopher Ordnance Works and because of the potential hazard to workers and
residents that could be presented by ACMs in mining-generated dust.
The phased nature of the planned extraction activities will allow for a correspondingly phased
approach to investigating and remediating any contamination on the site in accordance with
Minnesota Superfund (Minnesota Environmental Response and Liability Act or MERLA) and
Formerly Used Defense Sites requirements. We recommend that the City add the following
language to the amendment: To minimize potential risks to mine workers, City residents, and the
environment, if contamination is found, it will be reported immediate{y to the Minnesota
Pollution Control Agency (MPCA) and Dakota County, and it will be investigated and remediated
or enrolled into the MPCA's Voluntary Investigation and Cleanup program before excavation
begins.
E. Application Repuirements
The ordinance amendment is not clear about what is regulated by the site-wide mining permit and
what is regulated by the annual operating permit. This should be clarified and perhaps, within the
ordinance, the terms of the annual operating permit could be moved to follow the Application
Requirements. The ordinance is also unclear about whether the maximum mining operations area is
intended to be 80 acres or 160 acres.
The ordinance should also be clarified as to how property transfers would be handled. The District
currently has a single property owner but this cannot be assumed to be true throughout the whole
period of proposed mining activity. We recommend that the City add the following language to the
amendment: Mining permits and annual operating permits are not transferable.
E. 8 .
b. Reclamation Plan
2) Proposed fill activitv
We recommend that the City add the following language to the amendment: To comply with
Dakota County Ordinance No.110, any fill brought to the site must be clean: free from debris,
asbestos, or chemical contamination.
Compliance with this requirement is especially important in the Large Scale Mineral Extraction
Overlay District because of the District's proposed future use for agriculturaf and residential
purposes, and because of the potential for contaminating groundwater within the City's Drinking
Water Source Management area. The minimally contaminated fill materials the MPCA describes
as "unregulated fill" are not clean, as defined in the preceding paragraph and would not be
permissible in this area because of the proximity to groundwater and the future agricultural or
_ residential land uses.
The City of Rosemount might consider requiring documentation of the source of any fill used in
the large Scale Mineral Extraction Overlay District, including any environmentai site assessments,
analytical data, and findings from the fill source.
G. Ancillarv Uses
Accessory and ancillary uses must be conducted in accordance with all federai, state, and local
regulations.
G. 2.
b. Asphalt Production
8) Waste Bvproducts
We recommend that the City add the following language to the amendment: Hazardous wastes
must be managed in accordance with Dakota County Ordinances No. 110 and 111, as well as
federal and state regulations.
H. Performance Standards
15. Topsoil
We recommend that the City add the following language to the amendment: If contamination is
found, the property owner and the mine operator risk becoming the responsible parties if
contamination is disturbed and not addressed in accordance with Federal and State laws, and
Dakota County Ordinance No. 110. Asbestos-containing materials (ACMs) are a potential concern
at this site because of their ubiquitous use at Gopher Ordnance Works and because of the
potential hazard to workers and residents that could be presented by ACMs in mining-generated
dust.
We recommend that, in general, contaminated soil be managed in the following ways:
• Contaminated soil that is not disturbed may remain in place if it meets the appropriate
state Soil Reference Value and petroleum criteria. A County solid waste disclosure form
must be recorded with the property records.
• Contaminated soil that is disturbed but will remain on the property must meet
appropriate SRV and petroleum criteria, and exposures must be limited as required by
the MPCA. A property disclosure is also required for contaminated soil that will remain
on site.
• Contaminated soil that is excavated and removed from the property must be managed at
a permittedjlicensed solid waste facility, such as a landfill.
We recommend that the City add the following language to the amendment: If the land is to be
returned to agricultural use, the City of Rosemount will determine the appropriate thickness of
top soil and soil that will be needed.
I. Special Requirements
3. Gravel Production and Phasin�
The phased nature of the planned extraction activities will allow for a correspondingly phased
approach to investigating and remediating any contamination on the site in accordance with
Minnesota Superfund (MERLA) and Formerly Utilized Defense Site requirements.
As in earlier sections, we recommend that the City add the following language to the
amendment: To minimize potential risks to mine workers, City residents, and the environment, if
contamination is found, it will be reported immediately to the MPCA and Dakota County, and it
will be investigated and remediated or enrolled into the MPCA's Voluntary Investigation and
Cleanup program before excavation begins.
In addition, the City might consider requiring that an Environmenta{ Contingency P1an be
approved by the City and the County prior to the beginning of excavation activities.
1. Reclamation. Restoration, and Rehabilitation
8. Haul-back Materials
The comments in E.8.B 2, above, regarding fill materials also apply to haul-back materials. We
recommend that the City add the following la�guage to the amendment: In accordance with
Dakota County Ordinance No. 110, any fili brought to the site must be clean: free from debris,
asbestos, or chemical contamination. Compliance with this requirement is especially important
in the Large Scale Mineral Extraction Overlay District because of the District's proposed future
use for agricultural and residential purposes, and because of the potential for contaminating
groundwater within the City's Drinking Water Source Management Area. The minimally
contaminated fill materials the MPCA describes as "unregulated fill" are not ctean and would not
be permissible in this area because of the proximity to groundwater and the future agricultura{ or
residential land uses.
The City of Rosemount might also consider requiring documentation of the source of any haul-
back materials, including any environmental site assessments, analytical data, and findings from
the fill source.

Ratio of Aaqreqate Processinq 11-10-4-1(G)(3)(e)!4)
I do not agree with limiting fihe amount of �ecycled aggregate product to 30%. The City of
Rosemount should be encou,raging as much aggregate recycling as feasible.
Top Soil 11-10-4-1 (H)(15)
Six inches of topsoil is required, I propose requiring 10 inches of topsoil underlain by 26
inches of soil placed on all areas reclaimed restored as dry ground.
According to the soil boring records in the Large Scale Mineral Extraction Overlay
District, currently there exists approximately 18 inches of topsoil with an additional 18
inches or more, soil underlying the topsoil. The ordinance is requiring that all the topsoil
remain on site, except topsoil located over areas planned to be reclaimed as open water.
Dust Control 11-10-4-1 (H)(9)
I suggested changing the last sentence from "..:treated with a dust retardant on a regular
basis..." to "...treated with a dust retardant as needed...", you explained the concern you
had with an operators interpretation of this and I am fine with leaving the ordinance
language as is. .
I shared with you a fact sheet from the Missouri Dept of Natural Resources titled Dust
Suppression on Unpaved Roads. I expressed my concerns about chloride used as a
dust suppressant on the gravel roads associated with the mining. Elevated levels of
chloride could impair the mine-pit lake. The fact sheets offers atternatives to using
chloride to suppress dust that may have less of an impact to surFace water, animal and
_..._ __ _ � _. . ..... __ _ _ __ ..... _
_ _ _ ___ _._ _._ __
plant life. The permit language should encourage the use of non-toxic product for dust
control.
Haul-back Materials and Operations 11-10-4-1 LJ)(8)
We agreed that only clean fill as defined by Dakota County will be allowed to be used as
fill both above and below the water table. You added ordinance language that the soil
test results will be submitted to the City for prior approval, before the material can be
brought to the site. I really appreciate this proactive approach which is consistent with
how other agencies address fill. The review of the soil test results would entail knowing
the volume, origins, historic land use, physical and chemical characteristics of the
source material so that it can be determined that the correct parameters were analyzed
for. In addition, the laboratory detection levels need to be reviewed to determine that
they do not exceed applicable soil standards.
Inspections 11-10-4-1(K)(6)
City staff should research all the applicable Federal, State and County rules that they will
be required to enforce given the city's land-use authority over the mining operation and
the ancillary uses. We discussed that the existing small-scale gravel mines in
Rosemount are inspected by Planning Staff in the spring and fall. I would like to see
more frequent inspections of the large-scale mining operation and ancillary facility than
twice a year.
Groundwater monitoringplan 11-10-4-1(E)(9)(�
Groundwater monitoring plan was moved to section 11-10-4-1(E)(9)(fl which is a better
fit. I understand that the groundwater monitoring plan must be approved by the Planning
Commission and the City Council.
Drinkinq & Surface Water Concerns
I wanted a section added to the ordinance to require a Surface Water Monitoring Plan.
What we know from the Umore Mining Area EIS, that the mine-pit lake is proposed to be
excavated to a depth of 180 feet to the top of the Prairie du Chien Group (OPDC)
Aquifer. Barr Engineering determined through a pump test that this aquifer is
hydraulically connected to the Jordan Sandstone Aquifer which is the sole source of
drinking water for the City of Rosemount. My notes from our meeting state that we can
require sampling in the future, so I believe that woutd be made a permit requirement.
The City of Rosemount had Barr Engineering delineate the Drinking Water Supply
Management Area (DWSMA) incorporating a 10 Year Fracture Flow Capture Zone. The
City could have had a 20 Year Fracture Flow Capture Zone delineated, this may have
resulted in a DWSMA which incorporates the proposed Auxiliary Use Facility. It is my
understanding when you referenced Ordinance 11-6-1(3 & 4) that the AUF will be
required to have an impervious surFace such as asphalt or concrete which will limit
contaminants from entering the drinking water.
To allow mining in the DWSMA to the top of the OPDC put the city's drinking water at
risk for contamination and degradation. The City now finds itself in a position of
attempting to protect the City's drinking water resources, threatened by the gravel mining
and ancillary use operations. The ordinance should include language requiring a buffer
between the final mining elevation below the water table and the top of the OPDC.
Hydrogeologists should be consulted to determine an adequate buffer thickness to
protect the OPDC.
An Emergency Preparedness Plan should be required to respond to spills or other
release of contaminants that may threaten the mine-pit lake from releases to the
environment. County Road 46 will intersect the mine-pit lake; special provisions and
equipment would be needed to provide spill containment and control. While I
understand this requirement can be in the permit, it would be nice to codify it in the
ordinance.
Revocation of Permit
There is no language in the Draft Ordinance Relating to Large Scale Mineral E�raction
describing the process to revoke any of the mining or ancillary use permits. The city
should have authority to immediately stop any of the three violations without first seeking
judicial enforcement: 1) mining outside of permitted phase; 2) violations causing
immediate danger to environment or to public's health, safety, or welfare; or 3)
unauthorized removal of topsoil from the permitted site. The City of Rosemount
Ordinance for Water Resources Management has a Penalty Section, a similar one would
be appropriate for this mining ordinance.
Contamination
We did not have time to discuss my concerns for potential contamination and releases
associated with the past land uses as a Department of Defense facility and agricultural
research activities conducted that have not been adequately addressed. The known and
suspected sources of contamination including dumpsites, areas of unspecified filling,
feedlot aperations and manure handling areas and sewage sludge application areas
must be evaluated and addressed in advance of phased mining .
The entire Large Scale Mineral Extraction Overlay District is located within the
boundaries of the former Gopher Ordnance Works. This property is an active Formerly
Used Defense Site and is subject to investigation and remediation under CERCLA
(Supertund) and MERLA (State of Minnesota Superfund) requirements. The ordinance
must include language requiring that each phase of the mining be preceded by an
environmental review and assessment conducted in conformance with applicable
sections of CERCLA, the National Contingency Plan (NCP), and applicable EPA and
MPCA guidance and subject to review and approval by the MPCA.
As a Planning Commissioner it is very difficult to make land-use decisions without
knowing if the proposed mining and proposed ancillary uses are a land-use consistent
with the current status of the site as a Superfund site.
Please feel free to contact me to discuss any questions you have regarding my
comments.

MEMO
TO: City of Rosemount City Council
FROM: Dakota Aggregates, LLC
DATE: May 9, 2012
RE: Subparts (.n(2) and (.n(3) of Rosemount Large Scale Mineral Extraction
Ordinance
Section 1. Background. This memo deals with Subparts (J)(2) and (J)(3) of the proposed
Rosemount Large Scale Mineral Extraction Ordinance.
The version submitted by the Planning Commission to the City Council reads as follows:
2. Significant Transportation Corridors: The reclamation plan
shall show all future collector and arterial roadways. To provide
for the roadway and utility construction of these future roadways, a
reasonable reclamation grade as determined by the City shall be
established within the entire designated right-of-way width for the
appropriate roadway classification. Within twenty four (24)
months of receipt of written notice from the City that the collector
or arterial right-of-way is needed for either roadway and/or utility
construction, the permittee will complete mining within that right-
of-way and reclaim the right-of-way to the grades approved within
the Interim Reclamation Plan.
3. Trunk Utility Services: Within twenty four (24) months of
receipt of written notice from the City that public trunk utility
services are needed to be constructed within the mining operation,
the permittee shall provide an easement for the utility construction,
complete the mining within the easement, and reclaim the
easement to the grades approved within the Interim Reclamation
Plan.
Dakota Aggregates, LLC (Dakota Aggregates) suggests a modification that would read as
follows:
2. Significant Transportation Corridors: The reclamation plan
shall show all future collector and arterial roadways. To provide
for the roadway and utility construction of these future roadways, a
1
reasonable reclamation grade as determined by the City shall be
established within the entire designated right-of-way width for the
appropriate roadway classification. Within twenty four (24)
months of receipt of written notice from the City that the collector
or arterial right-of-way is needed for either roadway and/or utility
construction, the permittee will complete mining within that right-
of-way and reclaim the right-of-way to the grades approved within
the Interim Reclamation Plan. The Citv Council may within the
interim use ep rmit provide a minimum period of time such that the
operator will have a reasonable opportunity to mine before _ the
twent f�our (24) month advanced notice can be �iven. Prior to the
notice, the collector and arterial roadwavs and utilitv construction
shall be either shown on the Citv's Comprehensive Plan ar shown
on a proposed amendment that has been submitted by the Citv to
the Metropolitan Council.
3. Trunk Utility Services: Within twenty four (24) months of
receipt of written notice from the City that public trunk utility
services are needed to be constructed within the mining operation,
the permittee shall provide an easement for the utility construction,
complete the mining within the easement, and reclaim the
easement to the grades approved within the Interim Reclamation
Plan. The Citv Council may within the interim use permit provide
a minimum period of time such that the operator will have a
reasonable opportunity to mine before the twentv four (24 month
advanced notice can be given. Prior to the notice, the trunk utilitv
lines shall be either shown on the Citv's Comprehensive Plan or
shown on a proposed amendment that has been submitted by the
City to the Metropolitan Council.
The reasons for the suggestions of Dakota Aggregates are as follows:
l. Subparts J(2) and J(3) allow the City, upon notice to the operator, to require the
operator to complete mining and reclamation in the areas of collector and arterial
roadways and in the areas of trunk utility lines. If construction of the
collector/arterial roadways and trunk utility lines is in sync with the mining plan
such that mining is scheduled to occur before the public improvements are
constructed, then the provisions of Subpart (J)(2) and J(3) will not impose an
undue hardship on the operator. On the other hand, if the City schedules the
public improvements prior to the operator having mined the area, then Subparts
(J)(2) and (J)(3) will require the operator to significantly alter the phasing and
mining plans in order to accommodate the public improvements. The ordinance
gives the operator only two years to make all of these adjustments.
2. If the City is reserving the power to alter phasing and mining plans to
accommodate these public improvements, then, at the very least, the City should
2
have gone through the deliberative process of including the public improvements
in the City's Comprehensive Plan or in an amendment that the City has submitted
to the Metropolitan Council.
3. State law (Minn. Stats. §§ 473.859; 462.352, Subd. 7 and 462.356, Subd. 2)
require that these types of major public improvements be shown on the City's
Comprehensive Plan before the City begins construction.
4. Dakota Aggregates is not asking that final Comprehensive Plan approval occur
prior to the City sending notice to Dakota Aggregates. Final approval cannot
occur until the Metropolitan Council approves the City's proposed amendment.
Rather, Dakota Aggregates is asking that the notice not be given until the City has
at least submitted its proposed amendment to the Metropolitan Council. This
should alleviate any concern on behalf of the City that notice to Dakota
Aggregates would be delayed because the Metropolitan Council has delayed its
approval.
5. Dakota Aggregates merely wants the City to have engaged in a deliberative
process that allows for planning commission review, public hearing and action by
the City Council to submit the amendment to the Metropolitan Council. Before
the government tells the operator to make substantial changes, it makes sense that
the government (the City) has at least decided in a formal manner that the public
improvements are integral to the City's plan for the future (the Comprehensive
Plan).
We believe the modification is a modest and reasonable proposal.
Thank you.

DAKOTA AGGREGATES, LLC
TO CITY OF ROSEMOUNT
DRAFT ORDINANCE RELATING TO
LARGE SCALE MINERAL
EXTRACTION OVERLAY DISTRICT
(March 13, 2012)
1
MEASUREMENT OF DISTANCES
Throughout the ordinance, there are references to setbacks for mining and setbacks for ancillary
uses, as well as performance standards (such as those relating to dust, odors, noise, air emissions
and lighting) that reference various distances. There is no consistency with respect to 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 line" 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
defined lots in the traditional sense. Every time there is a reference to a distance it should be to
the "property line" of the overall property identified in the EIS.

CONTINUATION OF ANCILLARY USES
AFTER MINING IN ROSEMOUNT HAS CEASED
With regard to the ancillary uses stated in Section 11-10-4-1(G)(2) (e.g, concrete production,
asphalt production, maintenance facility and casting yard), the language states that such facilities
"may be allowed on a site that has an approved large scale mineral extraction permit in
compliance with this section". We need to address the situation where mining in Rosemount has
ceased, but mining in Empire Township continues with Dakota Aggregates using the auxiliary
uses in Rosemount for the duration of the mining in Empire Township. The language should be
modified to read:
"A facility for insert ancillar use
may be allowed (a) on a site that has an approved large scale mineral
extraction permit in compliance with this section or (b) in conjunction
with large scale mineral extraction occurring in an adjoining municipality
for which the adjoining municipality has granted approval provided the
facility was originally granted an interim use permit in conjunction with
large scale mineral extraction in the City of Rosemount".

SPECIFIC COMMENTS
The following comments relate to specific items contained in the subparts of Section 11-10-4-1.
1. Section 11-10-4-1 (K) imposes the requirement of an annual operating permit. The
defined term is Annual Operating Permit. This pennit is refened to throughout the
ordinance. About 20 to 30 times it is referred to as the Annual Excavation Permit and
about 5 to 6 times it is referred to as the Annual Operating Permit. Only the defined term
should be used, namely, the Annual Operating Permit.
2. Subpart (C) contains a definition of "mining buffer-setback". This definition references a
distance from a"lot". The reference should be to the property line of the overall property
identified in the EIS.
3. 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,
miisances, etc.
4. The language in Subpart (G)(1) that an interim use permit is "within the discretion of the
City Council" seems unnecessarily self-serving to the City. The langtlage should be
"within the discretion of the City Council under law".
5. Subpart (G)(2)(a) deals with the ancillary use of a concrete plant. The setback is twice
the height of the plant or the applicable set back under the code, whichever is greater.
The setback is measured from the "property line". We assume the "property line" is the
boundary of the overall property identified in the EIS.
6. Subpart (G)(2)(b) deals with asphalt plants. The setback is measured from the "property
line". We assume the "property line" is the boundary of the overall property identified in
the EIS.
7. Subpart (G)(2)(b)(8) dealing with waste byproducts speaks about a prohibition of not
allowing discharge beyond the boundaries of the "loY'. The reference should be to the
"property line" which is the bounclary of the overall property identified in the EIS.
8. Subpart (G)(2)(b)(9) deals with odors from the asphalt plant and states that odors cannot
be detectible "beyond the lot line of the site on which such use is located". What is the
"lot line"? The reference should be to the "property line" which is the boundary of the
overall property identified in the EIS.
9. Subpart (G)(2)(c) deals with the maintenance facility. Setback requirements relate to the
"lot". The reference should be to the "property line" which is the bounclary of the overall
property identified in the EIS.
19
10. Subpart (G)(2)(d) deals with pre-cast concrete products. Again, the setbacks deal with
the "lot". What is the "lot"? The reference should be to the "property line" which is the
boundary of the overall property identified in the EIS. .
11. Subpart (I)(2) deals with haul roads which (in the language of the ordinance) are the
public roads that will be used to transport material to the property as well as from the
property. In the industry, the term haul roads usually refers to the internal private roads
and the term "haul route" usually refers to the external public roads. The terminology in
this section should conform to the industry use of these terms.
