Bend Trail. Estimated cost of $4,500 with $1,500 of the total to be

ble to fund such an extensive project. Planning for spot repair and

rected Don Brown to contact the industries that use this road and
inform them that the road needs repair, and they as benefitted users

ROSEMOUNT CITY PROCEEDINGS
Special Meeting
April 19, 1983
Pursuant to due call and notice thereof a Special Meeting of the City
Council of the City of Rosemount was duly held on Tuesday, April 19,
1983.
The meeting was called to order at 7:00 p.m. by Mayor Knutson with
Councilman Stauffer absent.
Mayor Knutson explained the purpose of this Special Meeting is to
discuss with County Staff and residents in the area of County Road #38
between the Apple Valley border and Highway #3 the condition of the
road, repairs or reconstruction needed and the type of roadway needed
for the future.
Mayor Knutson introduced Mr. Bob Sandeen, Dakota County Highway
Engineer, who made some opening remarks and requested that he be
allowed to respond to questions and comments from the City Council and
residents.
Mayor Knutson asked for Council and audience input. Comments were
offered by those in attendance.
Mr. Sandeen in response to a much asked question informed the group
that the County Highway Plan that was prepared and adopted one year ago
has that section of County Road #38 being discussed at this meeting in
the 1983 schedule as a roadway to be graded to its final four lane
section. Due to budget constraints this will not happen in 1983 and
probably not before 1986.
Mayor Knutson suspended discussion at 7:30 p.m. to allow the Council to
open the Regular Meeting.
Discussion was resumed after the Regular Meeting was recessed at 7:35
p.m.
It was the general opinion of those in attendance that something needs
to be done to this road to improve the safety conditions.
Reconstruction of the roadway would be the best solution but the need
for a four lane section was questioned. Mr. Sandeen reported that this
would be the final segment of a four lane highway between County Road
#38 straight out to Highway #3 from the 125th Street intersection
thereby allowing turnback of that section of County Road #38 running
south and east to the 132nd street alignment of County Road #38 to the
City.
After much discussion Mayor Knutson announced that this meeting would
have to be closed to allow the Council to carry out the Regular Meeting
agenda that includes a Public Hearing.

that he present his reasons for requesting the new franchise.
Mr. Waytek stated that he has several construction projects to complete
in Rosemount in 1983 and 1984 and with the remaining term of the
franchise is unable to obtain financing; therefore, an extended
franchise is needed. Further, since the last amendment to the original
franchise there have been several new services made available that are
not addressed in the current franchise. These items would be added
along with authorization for a rate increase that would not be utilized
until needed but would be in place so that an amendment would not be
needed in the next year or two when the rates would need to be
increased.
City Clerk stated that the Franchise Ordinance as amended to date is in
the word processor. These proposed additions and changes can be
incorporated in the franchise as well as the changes that are sure to
be requested by the State Cable Board, and prepared for final review
and adoption within the next month to six weeks.

progress to date. The City of Hastings has indicated they will not be

County Board set as the WMO. The Dakota County Board will be
considering matching the seed money given by several of the Cities
involved in the joint powers agreement. Mayor Knutson commented that
no Council action is needed at this time as the Rosemount City Council
has displayed considerable interest in this proposal already.
Mayor Knutson advised the Council that he has been receiving continuous
complaints regarding junk cars being stored on residential streets and
lots as well as complaints regarding poorly maintained private home
sites. The Mayor suggested that we may need further ordinances to help
in this clean up. Dean Johnson stated that having just gone through
all the ordinances in the codification process and having received many
of the complaints he can assure the Council that the necessary
ordinances are in place. He feels the problem is enforcement.
Enforcement has to be fair and equitable. We can not cause one
individual to comply without causing all who are in violation to
comply. He suggested that possibly the City needs a Zoning Compliance
Officer as it has been demonstrated over and over that different
violations are referred to different departments at City Hall causing
the individual department heads to be reluctant to pursue corrective
measures as the violators will invariably sight other similar violators
advising that they will comply when all comply. Mayor Knutson advised
that Mendota Heights has what is referred to as a Zoning Officer and
asked the Clerk to check with the Mendota Heights Administrator on the
functions performed by this position, asking how well it has worked,
etc., reporting back to the Council at the next Regular Meeting.
City Clerk recommended to the Council that the City retain the firm of
Boeckermann Heinen Mayer for the 1983 audit requirements. See
Clerk's File 1983 -12.

requirements and retain the firm of Boeckermann Heinen Mayer. Second

premium for the 1983 -84 period. He advised that he has advised all city
Employees who are subscribers with the information regarding the
"Aware" program and asked that they respond with their interest in
participating in the "Aware" program. As of this time 11 of the 26
subscribers have replied all in favor of participating in the aware
program. Council directed that this be held over to the next Regular
Council Meeting to allow more to respond. See Clerk's File 1983 -12.

purchase replacement tires for the Water Transport Truck. The memo from
the Fire Chief indicated that 8 Goodyear Radial Mud Snows would cost
approximately 1,683.04 mounted with a $38.00 allowance per casin if
they could be recapped. Councilman Ratzlaff asked that the Fire
Department research the cost of replacement with Bias Belt rather than
Radials. Stauffer agreed that this could be done by the first meeting in
January but that consideration will be given to the cold start ride
quality between the bias belt and radial design as the truck is equipped
with bias belt now and it developes flat spots when parked and it rides
to rough when first taken out of the hall. See Clerk's File 1983 -25.

Discussion was held on the funding of the beautification segment of the
145th Street Project as well as the ongoing maintenance of this portion

for the 145th Street Reconstruction Project. MSA and CDBG funds cover
the majority of the project costs; however, no funds have been dedicated
for decorative street lighting, overhead power line relocation and other
beautification features. Staff expressed concern over the source of
funding, estimated at $150,000.00 to $200,000.00, as well as ongoing
maintenance costs
The Council generally agreed that property assessments are the only
feasible funding alternative, short of omitting the beautification
element. The costs of the beautification represent approximately 20 to
25 percent of the total benefit to the properties. This will be placed
on a future agenda for in -depth discussion.
The Council discussed the request received from the Pine Bend Trail
Industrial Community to upgrade the weight limits on Pine Bend Trail
from 80,000 pounds to 88,000 pounds. There was no one present to
represent those making the request. Council discussed the condition of
the roadway and its ability to support this increase. It was

those making this request to guarantee that repairs needed due to the
increased loaded weight will be funded by the benefitted parties
involved.

an additional week between Council meetings, and there would be adequate
time to prepare the notices and cause the necessary mailings.

is scheduled for upgrading. Council unanimously agreed to take no
action on this request at this time. See Clerk's File 1984 -2.

available for anything beyond cold storage for cars. Mayor Knutson

recycling site.
The Clerk was instructed to obtain information regarding space rental
rates and if there are any such facilities in Rosemount. DARTS request

Don Brown advised the Council that the latest proposal from NSP
regarding relocating the pole line from Burma to Brazil in the amount of
4,538.00 has been rescinded as the franchise ordinance calls for their
moving the line at no expense to the City. See Clerk File 1984 -7.
Don Brown reported to the Council that the NSP statement of work
requests regarding the changes required as part of the 145th Street
Project is in order and needs approval. The maximum cost to the City
would be 27,000.00 but the charges will actually be based on the work
preformed and should be considerably less then $27,000.00. Council
agreed that they would prefer to wait on approval of this item until
such time as all the electrical and street light information is
available along with funding sources for the project. See Clerk's File
1984 -7.
Discussion was held on the proposed street light installation as part of
the Downtown Project. Representatives from the Rosemount Plaza were
present to represent their interests in light source selection for this
project. Much discussion followed regarding the NSP written comments
regarding Highway 3 Lamp replacement with high pressure sodium in the
near future and what impact this would have on the lighting selected for
the 145th Street Project. Concern was expressed that mixing the two
types of light would not be desirable and if the City could influence
the NSP decision to replace the mercury vapor lamps with high pressure
sodium. Council directed that no action be taken at this meeting and
that NSP be invited to attend a Regular Council Meeting to discuss this
item as soon as possible. See Clerk's File 1984 -7.
Discussion was held on the need for another Public Hearing if the need
is determined to assess parts of the Downtown Project. Dave Grannis was
present, advising the Council that they indeed must hold another hearing
as there is a six month limit on ordering a project following the public
hearing and that has long since passed in this case. Council agreed
that there may be a need to assess parts of this improvement.

selection for the Downtown Project. No action was taken at this time.

Directors to coordinate and eliminate duplication of programs and
facilities as well as more intense utilization of existing School and
City facilities.
Dean Johnson asked the Council to consider an appointment to the
Vermillion Watershed Management Organization. Mayor Knutson stated this
is the type of appointment that would be very easy and effective if the
City had an administrative position. Citizen appointments to Boards and
Commissions have not been satisfactory in the past, mainly because of
the demands that are placed on the members to attend meetings without
fail. An administrative position would be well informed because of the
nature of their employment and would be very familiar with the Council's
position as related to the appointment. He has been very pleased with
Staff appointments to date, but feels that Staff is overburdened with
daily duties and current committee appointments of this nature. Names
of individuals will be sought by news items in the local papers and from
leads presented by anyone knowing of someone who may qualify and be
interested in this type of appointment. This will be placed on the next
Regular Agenda for discussion and appointment because of the time
remaining to implement this organization.

Council agreed to add discussion on the Liquor Store Insurance problems to
the agenda as Item 10.5.
Mayor Knutson opened the public hearing explaining the the purpose of the
public hearing is to finalize the funding sources for the 145th Street
Project through MSA, CDBG and assessments. He advised that this public
hearing was required as the first public hearing held on March 29, 1983 was
nullified because of time limits placed on actions taken following public
hearings for improvement assessments.
The Clerk had in his presence the Affidavit of Published Notice and the
Affidavit of Mailed Hearing Notice. See Clerk's File 1984 -9.
Mayor Knutson advised those present that the City Council has agreed that
the City will share in the unfunded portion of the project on a 50/50
basis.
Steve Campbell, City Engineer reviewed the project elements providing
information on funding needs and funding available. Total project costs
are $805,000.00. MSA and CDBG funding available is $640,000.00. This
leaves $165,000.00 to fund. The City sharing this cost on a 50/50 basis
would require assessment of $82,500.00. This breaks down to $52.60 per
front foot for that area considered benefitted between Burma Ave and Cameo
Ave. Final cost should not exceed the information figures presented at
this meeting as they were prepared from low bid information.

Councilman Willard presented a brief update on the School District Bond
Proposal and introduced Terry Noble, who gave a brief update on what

school board needs to receive some indication from the City of
Rosemount as to the willingness on the City Council's part to
participate in the construction funding and operation of an ice arena
in Rosemount at the high school site.
Council was in agreement that they would be in a position to authorize
and support the school board in their quest for additional ice
facilities within the district, and that when it has been determined
that the district has authorized the proposal, then the City would
cause a referendum requesting that the City of Rosemount participate in
the construction of such a facility in Rosemount.

final plat and improvements within the development. U.S. Homes
representatives indicated to the Council that due to the financial
instabilities facing them today, they would be requesting phasing of
the utilities within this development. They presented a plan set
delineating their proposed phasing of improvements. This phasing would
eliminate the need to construct the storm water ponding area and parts
of Shannon Parkway for maybe two to three years. Also, they proposed
possible use of temporary lift stations instead of the major permanent
lift station to reduce some of the early project costs. They were
informed that this change could cause a delay in the timetable already
established for this project. They indicated that a delay of
approximately one month would still allow them to carry out the
development of this area in a timely fashion. Dean Johnson stated that

the request to consider the 160th Street Alignment through their
property as a possible roadway of County significance noting that they
are holding to their decision of several years ago that they would not

brought about discussion on that to do with the part of 160th Street
west of Highway 3 that Rosemount is responsible for maintenance on. It
can not be included in our MSA system as we do not have complete
control of the roadway and Empire Township is not eligible now or will
they be in the near future for MSA designation.

ROSEMOUNT CITY PROCEEDINGS
SPECIAL MEETING
SEPTEMBER 18, 1984
Pursuant to due call and notice thereof a Special Meeting of the City
Council of the City of Rosemount was duly held on Tuesday, September
1r, 1984 at 7 :00 p.m. in the Council Chambers of the City Hall.
The meeting was called to order by Mayor Knutson with Councilman
Willard absent.
Mayor Knutson explained that the purpose of this Special Meeting is to
review and discuss the progress or lack of progress in obtaining
insurance for the On -Sale Liquor establishment.
Councilman Willard arrived and assumed his chair at 7:03 p.m.
Frank Goggin reviewed the process that has been pursued in obtaining
insurance for the on -sale store. He advised the Council and those
present that up to a week ago insurance was available but at very
prohibitive rates. The City was served with a 1982 claim two weeks ago
which caused the only insurance firm that had offerred coverage to
withdraw their offer of coverage. Bob Toombs, City Insurance Agent
affirmed the comments made by Goggin. He further explained that the
City could deposit $100,000.00 with the State Treasurer and go with a
self insured status at this time. Goggin followed up on this,
commenting that he had checked this possibility with the Liquor Control
Commission and advised the Council that any loses under this program
would be funded by the City out of the deposit with the State and
reimbursement to keep that level of deposit would be required and any
amounts over $100,000.00 would be paid by the City. Council did not
feel that this program would be advisable at this time. Bob Toombs
commented that inasmuch as no providers are available now the City
could apply to the Minnesota Assigned Pool for coverage. He cautioned
the Council that at first blush this could be a very expensive
alternative.
Council discussed the various options open, noting that even the
possible closing of the entire facility could be a consideration, as
well as proposing other uses for the facility and keeping the off -sale
in operation.
Councilman Tucker commented that he attempted in vain to obtain
coverage for our liquor operation and encountered the same road blocks
the Staff has indicated they have encountered.
Mayor Knutson noted that the time has come to convene the Regular
Council Meeting directing that this item be made a part of the next
Regular Agenda for further discussion.
MOTION by Knutson to adjourn this Special Council Meeting. Second by
Stauffer. Ayes: 5. Nays: 0.

The meeting was called to order by Mayor Knutson with all members
present.
Mayor Knutson led the the group in the Pledge of Allegiance.
Mayor Knutson introduced Connie Reinfenberg representing the "Kids in
Kinship" program. She in turn requested the Mayor to declare the week

option at this time.
MOTION by Knutson to authorize Stan and Donna Nelson to exercise the

ROSEMOUNT CITY PROCEEDINGS
REGULAR MEETING
SEPTEMBER 18, 1984
Ron Carlson was present representing Stonebridge advising that all
contracts have been exercised to cause the completion of the roadway
project within the week. Council directed that this item be placed on
the next Regular Agenda for final disposition. See Clerk's File 1984-
21.
Discussion was held on the discovery of a second north /south center
line in Section 30. This discovery has impacted the future
construction of Shannon Parkway, existing plats in the Broback
Additions and Metes and Bounds Property adjacent to this line. It was
explained that the correct center line had been used until about the
mid 20's or early 30's at which time it is evidenced that a surveyor
attempted to locate the north marker and in not finding it placed a
marker in what he thought was the right location which was 44 feet from
the correct marker. In 1975 the current County Surveyor found the
correct marker and requested that the County Board recognize his
discovery and approve the use of the correct marker for future
surveying, which they did. Through discussion the Council concluded
that nothing be done until such time as Shannon Parkway is constructed
through this area at which time the correction will be addressed and
remedied.
Discussion was held on the proposed plat to be known as Evergreen
Acres. This plat consists of the home site owned by Ron and Kathy
Carlson. The discovery of use of an erronious centerline in Section 30
has impacted this proposed plat. The impact is two fold as it removes
some 20 feet of property on the east side of this parcel as it has been
determined that the overall measurement of this parcel extends across
the correct centerline thereby causing a title problem with the plat.
The second item is that an existing garage on this homesite encrouches
on the correct centerline of Section 30 by 8 inches. The Carlson's
requested that they be allowed a variance to leave the garage where it
is. The platting process has revealed that there is a question of
ownership on a .8 foot strip between the proposed plat and the outlot
and street easement in the Broback Second Addition immediately to the
south of this proposes plat. The Attorney advised that this could be
overcome by quit claim deed from the original owner if available,
condemnation by the City, indemnification by the Developer Carlson or
Title Insurance, all to protect the City from liability should they
approve the plat.
Ron and Kathy Carlson requested that the City approve the Plat
recognizing the corrected centerline of Section 30 as the east line of
Evergreen Acres, variance to allow leaving the garage where it is and
they will provide indemnification on the .8 foot discrepency on the
south line of the plat.
MOTION by Stauffer to approve the Final Plat of Evergreen Acres as
presented with final signatures to be affixed after moving the garage
to meet setback requirements on Lot 1 of the proposed plat has been
determined completed. Further, an indemnification agreement or a title
insurance policy be presented to the City to indemnify the City against
any claims with regard to the ownership of the .8 foot discrepancy that
has been discovered between the proposed plat and the outlot and street
easement in the Broback 2nd Addition. Second by Walsh. Ayes: Tucker,
Willard, Walsh, Stauffer, Knutson. Nays: 0.

REGULAR MEETING
SEPTEMBER 1 8, 1984
Mayor Knutson advised the Council that he is in receipt of a letter
from Orrin Thompson Homes updating him on the progress being made in
correcting the site problems created in the aborted attempt to develop
their property at this time. He noted that he has scheduled a meeting
with the neighbors of this development to update them See Clerk's File
1984 -21.
Steve Campbell presented drawings indicating his proposed corrections
to the storm water problems at 147th St. and Chippendale in the Broback
10th Addition. In discussion with the Council and the affected
property owner it was determined that the first correction to be
attempted would be a dry well strategically placed to accept some of
this run off and reshaping of the ditch to direct water to an area to
be developed to hold some of this water in an attempt to keep the water
level below a level that threatens the home on this lot.
MOTION by Knutson to authorize the Engineer and Don Brown to proceed
with clearing a channel and installation of a drywell as discussed with
regard to storm water on Lot 7, Block 3, Broback 10th Addition. Second
by Willard. Ayes: Willard, Walsh, Stauffer, Knutson, Tucker. Nays:
0.
Steve Campbell presented drawings and information on his proposal to
correct the storm water problems on Bacardi Avenue north of 130th
Street. Discussion followed with the Council and affected property
owners in the area. The estimate presented for the proposed
corrections was $20,000.00. No immediate Council action could be taken
due funding consideration. Immediate action to be taken will be
provided by property owners who will attempt to provide added storage
space for water and some run off areas. This will be studied further
after the property owners have made their corrections and report back
to the Council at the second Regular Council Meeting in October.
Fire Chief Gist presented a request to proceed with specification
preparation for the Fire Department Pumper that is in the 1986 Capital

The Clerk reported on the events that led up to the City of Rosemount
being denied the reservation of Commercial Development Bonding as
prescribed under the Entitlement Act. Due to mail handling between the
City of Rosemount Rural Box and the Minnesota Department of Energy and
Economic Development office, the required form and check was deemed
received too late to be considered. The forms in question were mailed
on Friday, August 31st after being metered here at the City Hall. The
envelope was received in St. Paul and was run through a further
cancelling machine at that location on September 5th and that is the
date that the MDEED office used to deny the reservation. Neither the
Local Postmaster or Representative Sieben's office were able to reserge
the decision by MDEED.

Mayor Knutson opened the second public hearing explaining that the
purpose of this public hearing is to hear the appeal of Ronald and
Sally Revolinski regarding a Planning Commission denial of a variance
to rear lot setbacks.
The Clerk had in his presence the Affidavit of Published Notice and the
Affidavit of Mailed Hearing Notice. See Clerk's File 1984 -22.
City Planner Dean Johnson explained the rationale and reason for the
Planning Commission denial of the variance as presented. The Planning
Commission denied the variance because the Revolinski lot has two
frontages, those being on Chili Ave and Chippendale Ave. Revolinski's
proposed building a detached garage with a three foot setback from
their rear lot line which abuts Chippendale Avenue. This is considered
as a front yard setback area along Chippendale therefore the denial.
The Planning Commission did agree that there were special circumstances
involved with the lots along Chippendale and recommended that the
Revolinski's be given a 26 foot rear yard setback due to these special
structures located along Chippendale Ave in the vincinity of the
Revolinski lot.
Ron and Sally Revolinski were present to discuss their request with the
Council. They presented a petition that indicated that their neighbors
would present no objections to the Revolinski's building a detached
garage in their back yard. They also requested that the Council
consider a setback for their lot of less than that recommended by the
Planning Commission. They offerred photos indicating setbacks of less
that 30 feet or even 26 feet in the area. See Clerk's File 1984 -22.
Council discussion followed regarding a variance to the 30 feet
required. Gen Stiles was present as an interested party noting that
the Council decision on this request will impact the corrections needed
to eliminate the water problems he has in his back yard. He will be
proposing a variance to the setback along Chippendale on his lot to
allow these corrections to be made to his rear yard.
MOTION by Walsh to close the public hearing. Second by Knutson. Ayes:
5. Nays: 0.
MOTION by Stauffer to adopt Resolution 1984 -39 A RESOLUTION DETERMINING
TO PROCEED WITH A PROJECT AND ITS FINANCING UNDER THE MINNESOTA

Further discussion was held on the Revolinski variance request with the
Council indicating approving something less than the 30 foot setback as
required by Ordinance. All except Councilman Tucker concurred.

MOTION by Willard that on the basis of the appeal presented before the
Council, the fact that the permit was issued, to recognize the presence
of the building on the corner that exceeds the normal setback in the
district, that the building inspector be instructed to issue the permit
at a setback to match that of the corner building, which would be
consistent with an existing setback in the district and findings
required in the Zoning Ordinance. Second by Walsh. Ayes: Willard,
Walsh, Stauffer, Knutson. Nays: Tucker.
Further discussion was held on the insurance proposal for the Liquor
Store. It was revealed that this proposed insurance coverage would
contain a 30 day written notice cancellation clause. Staff indicated
that this would not be a comfortable situation to be in after spending
several thousands of dollars to open the place and then be under the
threat of possible closing at the end of 30 days.

Proposal for the next Regular Meeting from Valley View Insurance Agency

and Lyle Netteburg, representative of the land owners, on the draft
feasibility study. Mr. Netteburg advised the Council that he has an
opportunity to see the study and make some preliminary contacts with
the land owners for input. The contacts he has made indicate that a
unanimous decision by their group to go forward could be made prior to
the next Regular Council Meeting. All were aware the cost estimates
are in excess of what would be required in a normal Rosemount
Subdivision due to the topography of this area. Staff recommended that
the Council take no action other than accepting the report and

for the improvements.

sale. He felt the City should have an appraisal done as quickly as
possible to pursue this option.
MOTION by Knutson authorizing staff to obtain quotes for an on -sale and
off -sale liquor store appraisal, including fixture values, and present
them at the next Regular Meeting. Second by Tucker.

Mayor Knutson acknowledged Mr. Griffin's arrival and asked that he make
his presentation on the off -sale liquor operation.
Mr. Griffin gave a 5 -year summary of the off -sale, indicating that a
healthy increase of 50% in sales was offset by an 80% increase in
salaries. He also argued that depreciation of the building and
fixtures added to the net profit decline. He elaborated on the
inequities of liquor liability laws and felt the state legislature was
on the verge of correcting some of the problems. He suggested that the
Council consider some interim use for the on -sale and reopen it at some
time in the future. As a last resort, he urged the Council to continue
operation of the off -sale, regardless of the disposition of the on-
sale.
No further action was taken.

next Regular Meeting.
Mayor Knutson updated the Council on the recycling program being
investigated by the City and County. He requested input from Council
members in a discussion at the next Regular Meeting.
Gist requested concept approval for reimbursement to volunteer firemen
for an average of four hours of equipment maintenance per week, at a
rate of $4.50 to $5.00 per hour. He felt the reimbursement was a last
resort; in that, he was still hoping that the firemen would do the work
out of pride, rather than for payment. The Council was in agreement
with the fire chief. See Clerk's File 1984 -24.
Nikki Kimber, chairperson, Marie Jensen and Charles Monsour, Rosemount
Area Arts Guild, presented their request to save the old Methodist
Church, located at Burma and 146th Street. Mrs. Kimber explained the
wide range of uses that were proposed for the building and the group's
interest in moving the structure to People's Park.
Mayor Knutson questioned whether the group was aware of the
extraordinary costs involved in moving and renovating the building.
Mrs. Kimber indicated the group was pursuing a number of grant
possibilities that might fund the project.
Marie Jensen felt that the City could dedicate funds from the Community
Development Block Grant for this purpose. Johnson indicated that a
number of hurdles would be encountered to shift funding in this
direction if, in fact, the Department of Housing and Urban Development
(HUD) considered it an eligible expense.
Mr. Richard Keller and Mr. and Mrs. Hans Anderson expressed their
objection to moving the building to People's Park, which is owned by
the school district. Mayor Knutson indicated, as a residont of the
area, he did not favor the People's Park location either. Mr. R
Duffy was also present.
Mayor Knutson noted that the building had to be moved by December 1,
1984 or the building would be demolished. He indicated the building
would be made available to the group and the City could find a
temporary site to "store" the building, provided it is moved before the
deadline. The Mayor also directed staff to determine whether HUD would
permit the use of any cost savings from the demolition bid to be used
for moving the structure, in lieu of demolishing it.
MOTION by Knutson to authorize attendance of any Council or Planning
Commission members at the'Annual Planning Institute. Second by Walsh.
Ayes: Tucker, Walsh, Knutson. Nays: 0. See Clerk's File 1984 -24.

Mayor Knutson updated the Council on the Brockway task force meetings.
He expressed gratitude for the State's involvement and disappointment
in any reaction by the Brockway home office. Johnson indicated he had
met with HUD and the County HRA to explore the use of block grant funds
in connection with the Brockway closing. It was learned that economic
development, not necessarily associated with the Brockway site, would
be an eligible activity in light of the impact of the closing on the
community. Approximately $150,000 is left in the City's second year
grant program, which could be shifted into an economic development
effort.
Mayor Knutson commented briefly on the solid waste report he copied to

city attorney may be appropriate.
Mayor Knutson noted Frank Kirsebom's notice of retirement, March 31,
1985, and asked Kirsebom to comment on the options for his replacement.
Kirsebom commented on the earlier discussion on junk complaints and
felt part of the problem was enforcement. He suggested that the

Discussion was held on the County Road 38 proposed alignments received
from the Dakota County Highway Engineer. Staff indicated that they
felt that the corridors selected by the County were the least
desirable of all the options.
Discussion of County Road 38 was interrupted at 8:00 p.m. to allow the
City Council to set as the Board of Reviews in the matter of a
variance denial.
Mayor Knutson opened the Public Hearing an the Variance Denial request
presented by the Lindbo's and Flikeid's residences in the Le Foret
Addition. He further explained that the appeal request was due to the
Planning Commission denying a request for a 12 feet high fence to
correct what these residents feel was an injustice they suffered at
the hands of the developer and the City on properties adjacent to
their property.
The Clerk had in his presence the Affidavit of Published Notice and
the Affidavit of Mailed Hearing Notice. See Clerk's File 1984 -27.
The Lindbos and Flikeids arrived at the meeting at 8:04 p.m. to
present the information regarding their request.
Individual Council concerns were presented regarding this request. The
Council was in general agreement that authorizing this variance could
create problems throughout the community where fences are involved.
No information was presented by the Lindbos or Flikeids regarding
placement of the fence, materials proposed to be used in erecting the
fence, existing conditions that require this fence to correct the
problem created by the developer or the length of fence they are
proposing. It was evident that more information was needed to further
consider this request. It was noted that if the variance was granted
the fence would not be erected until after the spring thaw. With the
knowledge of the timetable for the erection of the fence the Council
directed that the Lindbos and Flikeids prepare a packet of information
for Council consideration at a later time. With this in mind the
Council was in agreement to close the public hearing at this time,
reserving the right to receive further information on this item and to
consider the request when this information is available.
MOTION by Walsh to close the public hearing. Second by Stauffer.
Ayes: 5. Nays: 0.
Council unanimously agreed to take no further action at this time on
this variance appeal and await further information from the
petitioners.
Discussion resumed on the County Road 38 proposed alignments. Dean
Johnson presented a drawing depicting a northern alignment that would
require acquisition of nondeveloped nonplatted property that would
conceivable be less expensive. Further the northern alignment would
allow development of property in that area that will require roadways
prior to development.
The most desirable alignment would be to continue 38 in a straight
line across to Highway 3 as discussed many years ago with Dakota
County. Staff noted that no information was presented on upgrading of
the existing alignment. See Clerk's File 1984 -27.

Program, noting that the Council needs to adopt the guidelines for
this program to allow it to go forward. It was questioned as to the
ability to make this program available for the liquor store as it is

used for such an upgrade. Council requested research into the
possible use of this program by anyone who might purchase the liquor
store operation and report back to the Council as soon as possible.
Mayor Knutson and Councilman Stauffer advised the Council that the
party first interested in purchasing the liquor store operation has
asked that they be removed from consideration at this time as they
feel that the asking price is too high. Councilman Stauffer advised
that he has gathered all the information needed by another group
interested in the purchase of the facility to help them in making a
decision on acquiring the facility. Further updates will be presented
at the next Council Meeting. Mayor Knutson advised that this process
has been very time consuming for he and Councilman Stauffer. Should
the negotiation they are now in fail to cause the sale of the
property, they would then request the Council consider retaining a
professional to handle the disposition of the liquor store.
Jane Hachfeld, operator of John's Upholstery Shop was present to
display the banners being proposed for the 145th Street Project. Don
Brown presented a memo outlining the costs for the banners and the

Committee. Even with this change the proposal from Jane Hachfeld
would allow the City to have the additional banners for at or near the
original quoted price in the construction contract. Total cost
outlined in the memo indicates that the 69 banners and brackets needed
would cost a total of $3,055.00, which is $55.00 over the original
quote for 24 banners. Jane Hachfeld's proposal indicates that the
materials for the banners has to be special ordered and she would
require a materials deposit of $500.00. See Clerk's File 1985 -3.

construct a median in Chippendale, limiting access to Lot 1, Block 1,
when, in the opinion of the City, the median is needed. The contract

the City may be entered as part of the record at this time. Council
directed that City Staff respond to this request when made in writing.

meeting.

second proposal to the out of State Glass Co. that they had made a
proposal to earlier. An early indication was that the out of State
firm would make a decision by the end of March. No word has been
received other than Minnesota has not been dropped as a possible site
for them but others they have been considering have been.

Council that he is in receipt of a letter of denial from the MSA system
group on the City's request for a change to the MSA system for the
City. This will impact the road project within the City by removing

assessments for the City MSA funding. Darling, Brown and Johnson will
be attending this meeting on April 18th.
Discussion was held regarding the dissatisfaction of Mr. Rudy Patuzak
regarding the Council approval of the Oakwood Estates II Addition. Mr.
Patuzak is not satisfied with the location of the cul de sac on the
south end of the plat next to his property, noting that he recalls that
he had the Council's word to withhold approval of this plat until such
time as he could review the plat with Mr. Christenson and reach an
agreement on the location of the cul de sac. He was not advised that
the plat was to be discussed and approved after being promised that he
would be advised of this. Council recollection was that they have not
in the past provided this kind of guarantee to anyone and do not feel
that they had in this case. It was noted that comments by the Council
at the meeting at which the plat was approved indicated that the plat
was configured fairly and any objections would have been overruled at
that time. Mr. Christenson was present but offered no comments other
that he would be unable to obtain easements to relocate the cul de sac
from the purchaser of the westerly lot. This leaves him no alternative
but to continue as the Council has authorized. Council concurred that
he should be allowed to continue his project and thanked Mr.
Christenson for taking the time to attend this meeting to discuss this
concern.

City Planner, Dean Johnson, updated the Council on the drainage
problems that have existed on the rear lots of the homes along the
north side of 147th Street west of Chippendale. He advised the Council
that the homeowner on the corner, Gene Stiles, has been granted a
variance to a side lot setback to allow his building of a garage
addition and has since decided that this is not what he wanted and
applied for a permit to fill his backyard. This permit request was
denied, and he has since placed some dirt around his house along with
installation of window wells that have corrected the storm water
problem in his basement. Staff recommends that Council deny any future
requests to fill the Stiles' backyard and that the Public Works
Director to work with the City Engineer and residents to provide
information and cost estimates for a permanent solution to this
problem.

this meeting. Comments were offered that indicated that the plan
is very ambitious and the true needs for the five year period are all
that are reflected in this plan. Council was advised there is a new
sense of cooperation and communication between county departments and
community staffs as evidenced in these meetings and certainly
appreciated by the Rosemount City staff.
City Planner, Dean Johnson, presented an overview of the condo project
negotiations and meetings of the past several weeks. He presented to
the Council a recommendation from the staff and the City HRA Board
regarding the City's dedication of cash and other values that need to
be authorized as well as methods of providing future contributions to
allow the condo project to be financially viable. Any City
participation that is authorized beyond what the City HRA Board has
recommended; i.e. the proposed contribution of the balance of the loan
on the Gibson property being contributed to the condo project rather
than being paid to the City's General Reserve Fund, would trigger the
incorporation of equity partnership agreements in the condo units.
Repayment of the Gibson loan by the Rosemount HRA will be by collection
of the equity partnership fees in the future. The minimum equity
partnership agreement amounts would be based on $42,000.00 contribution
or an average of $2,000.00 per unit. The Council agreed in concept to
the recommended fifty -fifty split on the right of way improvements for
the redevelopment project, and further, the recommendation that permit
and connection fees due the City on the condo project be waived.
MOTION by Knutson to agree to a fifty -fifty split on the right of way
improvements of the redevelopment project. Second by Stauffer. Ayes:
Walsh, Stauffer, Knutson, Tucker, Willard. Nays: 0.

Administrator advised the Council that during the meeting that he and
Councilman Walsh had attended with the Fire Truck Committee, the
Committee requested the authorization to select a volunteer fire
department in need of equipment and donate the 1961 Chevrolet Pumper to
that fire department. The rationale for this is that this fire truck
is no longer a certified piece of equipment due to age and size and
could not reasonably be recertified. Also it would have a negative
value as a trade -in.
MOTION by Knutson to authorize the disposition of the 1961 Chevrolet
Pumper to some volunteer fire department that would be able to use it.
Second by Stauffer. Ayes: Tucker, Willard, Walsh, Stauffer, Knutson.
Nays: 0.

transfer of funds from the Revenue Sharing Account in the amount of
$8,025.00. This is the second such transfer in this entitlement
period. See Clerk's File 1985 -11.
MOTION by Willard to authorize the release of funds designated for the
Chamber of Commerce in the amount of $8,025.00 for salary
reimbursement. Second by Stauffer. Ayes: Willard, Walsh, Stauffer,
Knutson, Tucker. Nays: 0.
The Administrator advised the Council that he has received information
indicating that the local railroad has petitioned to close the depot in
downtown Rosemount. He has contacted two of the major railroad
customers, being advised by one that he was visited by railroad staff
regarding the closure and by the other that he will be checking into
the closure as he had not been contacted. City Staff will notify the
railroad that at the time of closure that the trailer which has been
used as the depot is a nonconforming issue and will have to be
removed.
MOTION by Knutson to authorize the Administrator to attend the
Association of Metropolitan Municipalities meeting scheduled for May
30, authorizing the Administrator to cast the City ballots at this
meeting. Second by Walsh. Ayes: Knutson, Tucker, Willard, Walsh,
Stauffer. Nays: 0
