ROSEMOUNT CITY PROCEEDINGS
REGULAR MEETING
NOVEMBER 21, 1989
recommending the permitted uses of an agricultural stand,
commercial greenhouse and landscape nursery should be defined in
the Zoning Ordinance.
City Planner Wozniak reviewed the definitions recommended by the
Planning Commission and noted the Planning Commission at its
November 14, 1989 meeting clarified its recommendation by
indicating a preference not to allow retail sales in conjunction
with commercial greenhouses and landscape nurseries. Wozniak
further reviewed for Council consideration two sets of definitions,
drafted by the city attorney, which defined these permitted uses
for retail sales only or for wholesale sales only in an agriculture
district.
Therese Krech, 12050 Dodd Boulevard, Kurt Hansen, 12101 Dodd
Boulevard, and Jane Goedtel, 2980 120th Street West, presented
several reasons for restricting retail sales in an agriculture
district.
The attorney for the developer of the proposed landscape nursery
advised that his client, Rose Cliff Landscape Nursery, would take
the position that any amendments to the existing zoning ordinance
would not apply to the building permit application submitted to the
city on October 17, 1989.
City Planner Michael Wozniak reviewed the proposed amendment to
establish an appeal process for planning commission actions on site
plan reviews to City Council. This amendment would allow an
applicant, resident, or council member to appeal a planning
commission site plan action provided the appeal is filed within ten
days of the action taken by the Planning Commission. The city
planner advised the Planning Commission has recommended approval of
this amendment.
Council receive comments from the audience in favor and against
this amendment.
City Planner Michael Wozniak related the Planning Commission's
action denying Councilmember Napper's request to amend the zoning
ordinance to remove the words, "total aggregate" from the current
language of the zoning ordinance regarding the regulation of
accessory structures on parcels under twenty acres in size east of
Akron Avenue. Since Councilmember Napper was not informed the
Planning Commission would review his request at the November 14,
1989 meeting, staff recommended that Councilmember Napper be
allowed an opportunity to address the Commission at a future
meeting.
There were no comments received from the audience in favor or
against this amendment.
MOTION by Hoke to close the portions of the public hearing to
consider an amendment to include the definitions of permitted uses

Ayes: Hoke, Napper, Walsh, Wippermann. Nays: 0.
Council discussed the proposed definitions for commercial
greenhouse, landscape nursery and agricultural stand and the
issue of whether these definitions should restrict or allow
retail sales in an agriculture district. Following this
discussion, Council concurred retail sales should not be
permitted in an agriculture district. Council directed staff
to prepare an amendment defining commercial greenhouse and
landscape nursery with regards to wholesale sales only, to
delete "accessory sales" from the definition drafted by the
city attorney, and to redefine the definition of agricultural
stand to allow a farmer to sell products grown or produced on
a farm from the farmstead, stand or booth for a period greater
than four months.
Following discussion, Council concurred a provision should be
included in the zoning ordinance to provide an appeal process
on site plan review action by the Planning Commission.
MOTION by Hoke to table action on the proposed amendments
regarding definitions of commercial greenhouse, landscape
nursery and agricultural stand and a site plan review appeal
process to the December 5, 1989 Council meeting. SECOND by

Council discussed the request from Knutson Rubbish Service,
Inc. to consider sponsorship of a recycling grant application
to the Metropolitan Council. The grant would subsidize the
purchase of equipment necessary for Knutson Rubbish to operate
a private materials recovery facility in the city. The City
and Knutson Rubbish would enter an agreement whereby Knutson
Rubbish would provide the required funding for fifty percent
of the grant, and the City would act as the local sponsor.
Following this discussion, Council indicated their interest in
this project and directed staff to continue working with
Knutson Rubbish. See Clerk's File 1989 -36.
City Administrator Stephan Jilk presented for Council adoption

located on County Road 42 which had been secured by the County as
part of the County Road 42 reconstruction project. The County

this property from a private buyer.

city should receive from the county a portion of the proceeds from

Walsh, Wippermann. Nays: 0.
Mayor Hoke advised the members of the Town Green Ad Hoc Committee
have concurred the entry level on Highway 3 and the area just below
this area should be the first phase of the town green project. The
members are currently submitting their proposals for this area.
Mayor Hoke advised the committee members would like to meet with
city staff to discuss the proposals and to find out if their
proposals are feasible and realizable. Administrator Jilk
concurred with this suggestion and will schedule a meeting..
Administrator Jilk recommended the goals /objectives session be
scheduled in January, 1990 since it was impossible to reach an
available date in December when everyone was available. Council
concurred to this recommendation and agreed the session should
include the present council and the new council. See Clerk's File
1989 -36.
The administrator informed Council of the city administrators in
Dakota County putting together a series of special training
opportunities for city staff and elected officials. This group has
engaged Dr. Lange Longfellow to speak on February 5, 1990; and
through the cooperative efforts of this association, the costs for
attendance by staff and elected officials will be very reasonable.
See Clerk's File 1989 -36.

commission /committee members will expire this year and requested
that Council give consideration on the process for filling these
terms. See Clerk's File 1989 -36.

discussed the increase in water and storm sewer rates from $.95 to
$1.10 and the reasons for the recommended increase. Hefti advised
the increase in the sanitary sewer rate from $1.25 to $1.85 is
mainly attributable to the increase in the metro waste fee charged

district. Johnson commented on the lack of development in
Broback I -Park since its initial site grading in 1974 to
present, and the lack of agreement between the city and
property owners regarding design and costs for a frontage
road.
Johnson advised that in August, 1988, city staff hosted a
formal meeting with the property owners of the vacant parcels
who did not reach a consensus on whether this development
should be built as single family or multiple family housing or
remain as an industrial park. See Clerk's File 1989 -37.
Community Development Director Johnson requested that staff be
allowed to complete a land use study of the area by meeting
with Broback I -Park property owners and adjacent neighbors to
determine a valid use for this land. Johnson further
recommended that a moratorium on building permits in Broback
I -Park be established until the study is accomplished.
Diane Michalski, owner of Rosemount Woods, Inc., requested
Council's approval for expansion of the business and expressed
some frustration regarding the length of time the city has
taken to determine how this area should be developed.
Michalski objected to the proposed moratorium being in effect
until May 1, 1990.
Chuck Stauffer, 14587 Delft Avenue, supported expansion of
Rosemount Woods and maintaining the area as an industrial
park. Stauffer advised Council the industrial park was not a
detriment to his home or neighborhood.

Inc. should be issued a building permit to expand their
business, and a formal land use study of the area would
benefit Council in future decision making on development of
the property.

Building Official Ron Wasmund reviewed with Council the
options available to the city regarding a Metropolitan Waste
Control Commission (M.W.C.C.) policy change which exempted all
properties utilizing private systems from having to pay a
service availability charge (S.A.C.) when applying for
building permits for new buildings or remodeled buildings with
additions based upon a parameter table and residential
equivalents. Wasmund advised this policy change by the
M.W.C.C. implemented a voluntary refund program where all
S.A.C. fees collected from 1973 to January 1, 1987, could be
refunded by the M.W.C.C. to each municipality which in turn
would have the option to rebate the connection fee sum to the
property owner, establish a fund for future sewer installation
or utilize the money in whatever way the city would choose.
Building Official Wasmund advised research indicated that 163
properties were assessed this fee, and staff recommended the
appropriate funds be refunded to the current property owner.
Wasmund noted the total refund money from the M.W.C.C. would
not be sufficient to install sewer to an area which is not
currently served, and it would be inequitable to the property
owner for the city to escrow the funds of those people who
have paid and will never have municipal sewer service. See
Clerk's File 1989 -37.

A SERVICE AVAILABILITY CHARGE (S.A.C.) REFUND PROGRAM. SECOND

applications for the City of Rosemount Comprehensive Guide

establish a land banking system for allocating acreage for sewered
development and would increase the city's current undesignated land
bank acreage of 318 acres to 600 acres. Amendment #14 would
transfer 2.4 acres from the city's undesignated land bank into the

provide recommendations to Council at the January 2, 1990 Council
meeting for commission /committee and council liaison appointments.
Council concurred a process should be established for such
appointments in future years. See Clerk's File 1989 -39.
Community Development Director Dean Johnson presented for Council
consideration an Addendum to the Planned Unit Development (PUD) and
Subdivision Agreement for West Ridge development. Council was
informed the addendum would amend the park dedication requirement
to allow an extension to June 30, 1990 as the date the developer,
Rosemount Development Co., would have to deed the park land to the
city rather than the present requirement of January 1, 1990.
Johnson advised the developer has not purchased the 8.3 acres of
land to be dedicated for the southern portion of Jaycee Park.
Parks Recreation Director David Bechtold advised the Park Board
recommended approval of the extension of time and further advised
the city may jeopardize the $35,000 land grant approved for Jaycee
Park if park dedications fees were paid in lieu of the land
dedication. See Clerk's File 1989 -39.

request from Bituminous Materials, Inc. to renew its mining
permit for an eighty acre site located immediately south of

Council's position as to whether crushing machinery and portable
asphalt plants should be allowed when a seasonal grading /excavation
permit is issued for the purpose of removing sand and gravel to
improve property for agricultural use. Wozniak advised the
Planning Commission considered this matter at its November 14, 1989
meeting. The Planning Commission approved a recommendation to City
Council to allow the use of crushing machinery in conjunction with
seasonable excavation and prohibited portable asphalt plants. The
Planning Commission further restricted this permitted use to
excavations taking place on properties located east of Akron
Avenue. The majority of the City Council concurred with the
Planning Commission recommendation and further concurred portable
asphalt plants should be restricted to commercial and industrial
sand and gravel mining operations. See Clerk's File 1989 -39.

city from the attorney for Rose Cliff Landscape Nursery, Inc.
regarding the Planning Commission's denial of an application for a
building permit to construct and operate a landscape nursery on
property located at South Robert Trail and 120th Street West.
Administrator Stephan Jilk advised the Notice of Appeal was
submitted pursuant to a recent amendment to the city's Zoning
Ordinance setting out an appeals process to the City Council of
site plan review decisions by the Planning Commission. The
administrator further advised the city attorney rendered a legal
opinion the city would not be obligated to allow this appeal since
the appeal process did not exist when the city received the
application from Rose Cliff Landscape Nursery, Inc. See Clerk's
File 1989 -39.

Hall.

as Council Member.
Mayor Napper called the meeting to order with all members present.
Mayor Napper led the group in the Pledge of Allegiance.

Mayor Napper reviewed his recommendations for council liaison
appointments for 1990. Discussion followed regarding the
appropriateness or necessity of continuing the Liaison to Business
position created two years ago. The question was raised whether a
formal council liaison position should exist for one particular
group within the community and not for other special groups when a
council member at any time can become involved with the business
community. A general consensus was reached it was more appropriate
for staff to provide the direct link between the city and the
business community and that city staff involvement had increased
since the Liaison to Business position was established. Council
concurred this position should exist for one more year and further
assessment of the position be made at that time. See Clerk's File
1990 -1.

Mayor Napper presented for discussion the Rosemount HRA
position filled by Thomas Tucker, whose term expired on
December 31, 1989. Mayor Napper expressed his desire to be
appointed to the HRA Board and presented the options of
council approving Napper's appointment to this position or
considering having one position on the HRA Board designated as
the mayor's position, which would be filled by the current
mayor in office.
Council also discussed the option of the HRA Board consisting
of two or three members of the council and the terms of
council and HRA Board membership running concurrently.
Administrator Stephan Jilk reviewed with council discussion by
the HRA Board regarding the possibility of establishing an
Economic Development Authority (EDA) possibly by May 1, 1990.
Jilk recommended the membership requirement, reflecting the
consensus of council that two to three council members be
appointed to the board, be considered at the time the HRA
Bylaws would be amended to reflect the change to an Economic
Development Authority board. Following further discussion,
Council reached a consensus Mayor Napper should be appointed
to the HRA Board.
MOTION by Willcox to appoint Vernon Napper to the Rosemount
HRA Board. SECOND by Wippermann. Ayes: Willcox, Wippermann,
Napper, Oxborough, Klassen. Nays: 0. Motion carried.

Discussion was held by Council regarding Rollan Hoke's
membership on the Armory Committee and the Town Green
Committee and whether Hoke's membership would continue on both
committees as a citizen member. Administrator Jilk, as staff
coordinator on the Armory Committee, recommended that the
former mayor continue serving on the Armory Committee and that
Council consider appointing another council member to fill the
council position Hoke held as mayor on that committee. Jilk
further recommended that Hoke also continue serving on the Town
Green Committee in the same citizen capacity, and that Council
consider appointing a staff member or council member as a new
coordinator for this committee. Council unanimously concurred
Rollan Hoke should continue working on both committees and agreed
staff should provide to Council at the next regular meeting the
current members initially appointed to both of these committees and
a recommended staff member to possibly coordinate the Town Green
Committee. Council also agreed to advise at the next council
meeting their desire, if any, to serve on either committee. The
administrator informed Council a meeting between city staff and the
Town Green Committee would be scheduled once the new membership is
approved.
Council Member Klassen requested continued discussion from the
December 19, 1989 Regular Council Meeting regarding a formal
procedure for appointments to the city's commission and committees.
Council members expressed concerns the past appointment processes
were inconsistent and the automatic reappointment of members
wishing to serve another term did not allow for overall community
involvement. It was the general consensus of the Council an
approved written procedure would cause consistency in the
appointment process.
MOTION by Napper directing staff to prepare guidelines and
recommendations for appointments to the city's commission and
committees for council review in sixty days. SECOND by Willcox.
Ayes: Napper, Oxborough, Klassen, Willcox, Wippermann. Nays: 0.

application to the Dakota County Housing and Redevelopment
Authority to issue a multi- family revenue bond for assistance in
financing a proposed 36 unit apartment complex to be located
between 145th Street West and Dodd Boulevard and adjacent to
Cimarron Avenue. Jilk advised the Dakota County HRA submitted the
information to the city for comment by the City Council; but based
on the limited amount of time to review the application and the
limited amount of information concerning the project, staff could
not comment or make recommendations to council concerning the
application. See Clerk's File 1990 -1.
MOTION by Napper to advise the Dakota County HRA, the city council
cannot comment favorably or unfavorably on the application until
the city is able to review further information on the developer and
the project itself. SECOND by Wippermann. Ayes: Oxborough,
Klassen, Willcox, Wippermann, Napper. Nays: 0. Motion carried.

Council Member Harry Willcox informed Council of his recent
meeting with Jerry Lovell of Peoples Natural Gas regarding
Lovell's request to discuss with Council his company's
concerns of the proposed service areas designated by the city
for natural gas service by Minnegasco. Administrator Jilk
reviewed discussions between Minnegasco officials and city
staff regarding staff's direction to Minnegasco to begin
operating under the legal guidelines of a franchise, and to
limit the franchise to the farm tap services they currently
serve without a franchise. Jilk further advised the Utilities
Commission has taken the position to withhold recommendation
for approval of this franchise to the City Council until the
agreement for the service areas within the city is adopted and
approved by the Utilities Commission. Jilk agreed Peoples
Natural Gas should have the opportunity to express to Council
their concerns regarding this proposed franchise and
recommended this be accomplished when Council reviews the
Minnegasco franchise for adoption.
Administrator Jilk advised the goals and objectives session
for Council and department heads will be held at the Marriott
Courtyard, from 3:00 p.m. to 10:00 p.m., on January 30, 1990.

Mayor Napper led the group in the Pledge of Allegiance.
The agenda was amended to include Item 6(b) Meeting Notice -Land
Use /Retail Market Study Presentation.
Community Development Director Dean Johnson provided a brief summary
of events involving the six cities of Apple Valley, Burnsville,
Eagan, Prior Lake, Savage and Rosemount, who collectively submitted
an application to the Regional Transit Board to opt out from the
Metropolitan Transit System. Johnson advised Council will be
requested at the next regular council meeting to consider a Joint
Powers Agreement which would establish a transit authority among the
six cities. See Clerk's File 1990 -2.

SECOND by Willcox. Ayes: Willcox, Napper, Oxborough, Klassen.
Nays: 0. Motion carried. See Clerk's File 1990 -2.
Community Development Director Dean Johnson recommended that Council
consider rescinding Resolution 1989 -115, adopted on December 5, 1989,
which approved a refund program of Service Availability Charge
(S.A.C.) fees collected by the Metropolitan Waste Control Commission
from 1973 to 1987. Johnson advised there was a misunderstanding of
the options available to the city through the Metropolitan Waste
Control Commission's refund policy. Johnson learned the city does
not have to refund any of the S.A.C. fees, and the current owner of
property where S.A.C. fees have been paid would receive a full credit
when that property is hooked up to the city's sanitary sewer system.
Council expressed concerns that property owners would not have the
option to choose whether they would want a refund now or a full
credit when they hooked up to the system and that the Metropolitan
Waste Control Commission could amend their present Service
Availability Charge refund program at any time. After further
discussion, it was the general consensus of the council that not
refunding the S.A.C. fees would be the maximum benefit to the
affected property owners since the possibility existed for future
municipal service to certain areas, and the value of the S.A.C. fee
credit would inflate over the years. See Clerk's File 1990 -2.

Meeting. The administrator recommended that Parks Recreation
Director David Bechtold be appointed to serve on the Town Green
Committee. Jilk advised this appointment would allow the Parks

process for city staff. Council Member Willcox indicated his

of Rosemount. City Planner Michael Wozniak reviewed with Council
several issues associated with the proposal and recommended written

REGULAR MEETING
MARCH 6, 1990
City Planner Michael Wozniak requested the City Council to set a
public hearing date of March 20, 1990, at 8:00 p.m., or as soon
thereafter as possible, to consider an amendment to the zoning
ordinance regarding sign provisions. Wozniak advised the
proposed amendment is the result of staff working together with
a committee of business owners. A concern was expressed from
the Council that residents who are not business owners did not
have the opportunity to provide input on the sign ordinance
amendment. It was suggested the committee review the sign
ordinance revisions again, with non business owner residents
providing input, or that an advertisement be placed in the local
newspapers to assure that all interested citizens are aware of
the public hearing. Discussion followed with Council reaching a
consensus that the process should not be changed at this point
in time, and a paid advertisement would not be appropriate.
Council further concurred it would be appropriate to try to
encourage the editors of the local newspapers to do an article
on the upcoming public hearing. See Clerk's File 1990 -5.
MOTION by Napper to set a public hearing date on March 20, 1990,
at 8:00 p.m., or as soon thereafter as possible, to consider a

Fire Chief Scott Aker presented for Council ratification the
resignations of Glen Uitdenbogerd and Tim Siebens from the
Rosemount Volunteer Fire Department. The Fire Chief advised
that although the two resignations are not a real detriment to
the number of required members for the department, the
recruitment of possibly four new members would bring the overall
membership to a more suitable number. See Clerk's File 1990 -5.
MOTION by Willcox to accept the resignations of Firefighters Tim
Siebens and Glen Uitdenbogerd. SECOND by Napper. Ayes:

works department staff for a new front end loader. In review of
the specifications, it was noted the specifications did not
include specific requirements for Z -bar linkage which the city
engineer advised would be an advantage over having two cylinders
on each side of the bucket. City Engineer Hefti advised this
requirement will be included in the specifications. See Clerk's
File 1990 -5.

Association Bylaws amendments. SECOND by Willcox. Ayes: Napper,
Oxborough, Klassen, Willcox, Wippermann. Nays: 0.
City Engineer Rich Hefti presented for Council approval the plans
and specifications for Chippendale Avenue Street Improvements, from
151st Street to 160th Street. Hefti advised one reason for
considering improvements to Chippendale Avenue at this time is
because the Minnesota Department of Transportation is proposing to
reconstruct the bridge over Highway 3 south of County Road 42.
Motorists would undoubtedly take 160th Street to Chippendale Avenue
to County Road 42, which would quickly deteriorate the condition of

meeting and recommended approval of the proposed sign provisions

reconstruction policies for collector and local street projects.
Hefti provided background on how the policies were derived, and he
reviewed the proposed boundary lines to be used in determining

past but formalizing it would provide more consistency to future
assessment projects. Council suggested a few changes for
clarification purposes and requested that county road projects be
included in the policy. Council concurred that residents should be
invited, through a notice in the community newsletter, to a public
meeting regarding this policy. Following further discussion,
members of the Council also requested that staff pursue preparation

ROSEMOUNT CITY PROCEEDINGS
SPECIAL MEETING WORKSHOP
APRIL 14, 1990
Pursuant to due call and notice thereof a Special Meeting of the City
Council of the City of Rosemount was duly held on Saturday, April 14,
1990, at 8:30 a.m. in the Council Chamber.
Mayor Napper called the meeting to order with Council Members
Klassen, Oxborough, Willcox and Wippermann present. Staff present
were Jilk, Hefti, Knutsen, Johnson, Darling, and Aker.
Mayor Napper led the group in the Pledge of Allegiance.
Mayor Napper explained the purpose of the meeting was to discuss the
Goals and Objectives set at the workshop that was held on January 30,
1990. These goals and objectives were: 1) Dakota County Waste To
Energy Plant, 2) Industrial Development on East Side of Rosemount,
and 3) Non Hazardous Waste Disposal Project.
Council discussed the Dakota County Waste to Energy Plant regarding
the potential location of the Dakota County Incinerator on the
University and the position the University has taken regarding the
possible sale (transfer) of land to the City and Dakota County for
the incinerator project and other uses.
Council also discussed the announcement that the University has
decided to consider the location of a "coal fired ash" landfill on
their property in Rosemount and what basis the City would use to stop
this.
The Council concluded that the City should work to obtain the eleven
hundred acres of University property in Rosemount known as the
Rosemount Research site subject to continued evaluation by staff and
subject to the locating of the Dakota County incinerator on a portion
of the property.
Non Hazardous Solid Waste Project(s) were discussed. The proposed
USPCI Industrial Waste Containment Facility and its possible
relocation from Highway 55 to the University of Minnesota property
was discussed. This seems to have possibilities if the University
would decide to proceed with an ash landfill and the County would
decide to locate other waste management projects there, such as a
materials recovery facility and an ash pellitization facility.
The Council concluded that staff should continue to monitor all
alternatives to enable USPCI to develop feasible plans to move the
proposed project to the University property.
Industrial development on the east side of Rosemount was discussed.
Existing and proposed industrial development were summarized. The
concerns about Koch Refining Co. buying up so much land in east
Rosemount; what Koch Refining plans are and how all of that would be
used to bring Koch Refining into a development and cooperative mood
with the City to enable planning and development of industrial areas
in the East side. Discussion was also held regarding individual
applications received from L. H. Sowles and Solberg Aggregate to
amend the Comprehensive Guide Plan for redesignation of property in
1
the east side from Agriculture to General Industrial. Council
concurred these applications should be considered after further
discussion on the proposed Comprehensive Guide Plan has provided
to Council a better understanding on what types of industrial
development would be appropriate on the east side of Rosemount.
The Council concluded that Koch's management should be contacted
and requested to meet so that communication can begin on these
issues.
An update was given on the Comprehensive Guide Plan. Discussion
was held as to what process the Council would be comfortable with
to obtain consulting services for its update. Council concluded
that staff would prepare a set of requirements and guidelines for
the process so that staff can obtain proposals from Hoisington
Group Inc. for this project.

ROSEMOUNT CITY PROCEEDINGS
SPECIAL MEETING
MAY 8, 1990
Considerable discussion was held on the location requirements
for off premise advertising signs with a general conclusion by
Council that a one quarter mile spacing between each off premise
sign would be appropriate and that a requirement be included in
the ordinance for appropriate spacing between an off premise
sign and an on- premise sign. Discussion also ensued as to
whether off premise advertising should be permitted in
Industrial Park zoning districts and the appropriate size for
off premise advertising signs in the downtown area. Council
also discussed whether the sign ordinance should require certain
design criteria for off premise signs or whether the sign
ordinance should only address specific location, size and height
requirements. Council concurred it may be appropriate for the
Chamber of Commerce or area business owners to be involved in
coordinating the sign usage. A recommendation was made from a
Council Member to require land dedication for signage use from
developers in commercial and industrial park districts.
A five minute recess was called at this time with the meeting
continuing at 7:30 p.m.
Mayor Napper opened the Board of Review meeting and introduced
Bill Peterson of the Dakota County Assessor's Office. Mayor

and Staff members on how to maintain or achieve the goal of
small town ambience with growth, what small town ambience meant
to the citizens and the appropriate optimum growth for the city.
Discussion ensued by Council on how to control population growth
without having an adverse affect on the community, and the
methods of promoting commercial and industrial growth but
limiting population growth. Council concurred the development
and updating of the Comprehensive Guide Plan would be very
instrumental in setting the guidelines for balancing small town
ambience with growth and maintaining the open /rural areas.

protection of plant and animal populations from nuisance or
hazard, requirements for the complete removal of the antennae
and appurtenances upon termination of the use and some minor

if the use were ever terminated by ordinance amendment and their
grandfather" rights were terminated due to destruction by

language would allow the reconstruction to occur provided Parker
Communications operating record had been satisfactory.
Johnson recommended Council approve the Zoning Ordinance text
amendment and authorize staff to prepare a formal agreement
between the City and Parker Communications.
Following discussion, Council requested Section 2.C(1) of the
proposed zoning text amendment specify that the permitted use

Perpich signed the Omnibus Tax Bill for 1990 which included the
amendment to allow the City to levy ad valorem taxes up to
$95,000.00 a year to finance the cost of the City's portion of the
proposed National Guard Armory. Administrator Jilk presented for
adoption a resolution authorizing a special tax levy for this
purpose and calling for a public hearing on June 5, 1990 to confirm
Council's intention after considering comments from residents on
the proposed levy. Discussion was held by Council on the
possibility of the City receiving from the Minnesota Army National
Guard assistance, through funds or other benefits, in addition to
the funds mandated by federal and state laws. Council reached a
consensus to defer action until a determination has been made on

See Clerk's File 1990 -14.
City Engineer Rich Hefti presented the bids opened on April 13,

accessory equipment in the amount of $34,600.00. Hefti advised the
two bids received were over the budgeted amount and therefore
recommended not purchasing the rear mower unit at this time. Hefti

Rose Park Addition Replat affecting Mac's Bottle Shop property.
Johnson advised that the City Council on September 19, 1989
approved a simple lot division to create the Mac's Bottle Shop
parcel based upon a commitment from Carlson to include that
property in the final plat of the Rosemount Center project. This
simple lot division further required Carlson to include proposed
parking to be situated on the east side of the common drive within
the parcel boundaries of the Mac's Bottle Shop property because
additional parking spaces were required to meet minimum
requirements for the proposed building. Carlson has submitted a
revised concept plan for the Rosemount Center Project and is
requesting the simple lot division to allow a mortgage to be placed
on the Mac's Bottle Shop property. Johnson advised that until the

City Administrator Stephan Jilk discussed a recommendation
received from the city's auditing firm of Boeckermann, Heinen
Mayer to designate in the 1989 year end financial statements a
designated amount for working capital. This amount would
represent the estimated funds needed to enable the city to meet
cash flow needs between year end and property tax /state aid
payments received in July. Jilk advised at the 1990 legislative
session, there was increased attention on cities' fund balances,
and the legislators' perception of "excessive" amounts on fund
balances that are unreserved and undesignated. Jilk reviewed
the proposed amount to be designated as working capital and
advised these figures will be included in the 1989 financial
statements to be formally presented to Council at a June 1990
Council Meeting. See Clerk's File 1990 -14.

the park several years ago, the committee requested Council action
to confirm their use of the park for this event.

City Council of the City of Rosemount was duly held on Thursday,
June 21, 1990, at 7:00 p.m. in the Student Center at Rosemount High
School, Rosemount, Minnesota.
Mayor Napper called the meeting to order with Council Members
Wippermann and Klassen present. Council Members Oxborough and
Willcox were absent.
Mayor Napper led the group in the Pledge of Allegiance.
Mayor Napper opened the public hearing scheduled at this time to
consider 145th Street Improvements, Part A, City Project 206.
The city clerk presented for the record the Affidavit of
Publication and Affidavit of Mailed and Posted Hearing Notice.
Consulting Engineer Bud Osmundson from OSM identified the project
which provides for the reconstruction of 145th Street between Cameo
Avenue and Chippendale Avenue, the realignment of the Chili and
Chippendale Avenues intersection with 145th Street and the
reconstruction of Chili Avenue from 145th Street to the school
district's south boundary. The project includes the construction
of sanitary sewer, watermain, storm drain, street, sidewalk /trail
and lighting facilities. The consulting engineer reviewed the
estimated cost for each of the proposed improvements and the
general street assessment area. See Clerk's File 1990 -19.
City Engineer Rich Hefti reviewed three options available for
consideration as part of City Project 206 which are: (1) replace
deteriorated streets and sidewalks; (2) replace deteriorated
streets and sidewalks and bury overhead lines or (3) replace
deteriorated streets and sidewalks and bury overhead lines and
include decorative lighting. City Engineer Hefti reviewed the
costs associated with each of the three options. See Clerk's
File 1990 -19.
Hefti reviewed the assessment area and method proposed to be used
for this project. Hefti advised the assessment method is based
on past city practices for assessing collector street projects as
well as a formal collector street reconstruction policy the City
Council is presently considering for formal adoption.
Hefti advised a Northern States Power representative has informed
him the hookup charge would be approximately $100 to $300 if the
power lines were buried.
Several residents in the audience had questions for the city
engineer and the consulting engineer. Several residents objected
to different aspects of the project which included bearing the
entire costs of the proposed realignment of Chippendale and Chili
Avenues at 145th Street, bearing the entire cost of having the
overhead power lines buried or being forced to pay hookup charges
for the buried power lines, the proposed assessment method,
proposed drainage improvements, as well as objecting to the
entire project. Residents also requested the city disallow
school buses from using Chili Avenue and that signal lights be
considered at the intersection of Chili and Chippendale Avenues
and 145th Street.
Council reached a consensus the public hearing should be
continued until it is determined what the costs will be to
residents for hooking up to service if the overhead power lines
are buried and additional cost information on the sanitary sewer
and storm drain improvements. City Engineer Hefti advised a
letter will be furnished to each property owner in the proposed
assessment area advising the property owner of the continued
public hearing date and further correcting the proposed estimated
assessment amount and construction cost that were included in the
Public Notice.

Hall.
Mayor Napper called the meeting to order with Council Members
Oxborough and Klassen present. Council Members Willcox and

Mayor Napper led the group in the Pledge of Allegiance.
Mayor Napper advised the purpose of the Special Council Meeting was
to inform residents of the proposed armory by reviewing different
aspects of the project as well as to receive input and comments
from the residents with regards to the armory project and the
proposed special levy. Mayor Napper welcomed the audience to
participate in the public hearing process and to present questions
of clarification at any time throughout the hearing.
Mayor Napper recognized General John H. Cox and other
representatives of the Minnesota Army National Guard present in the
audience.
The city clerk presented for the record the Affidavits of
Publication and Posted Notice pertaining to the Notice of Public
Hearing to Consider Proposed Special Tax Levy for Funding of an
Armory and Resolution 1990 -41, A Resolution Approving A Special Tax

Administrator Stephan Jilk reviewed the requirements of the special
legislation passed at the 1990 Legislative Session to allow the
City to levy up to $95,000 a year for the purpose funding the
city's share of the armory cost. Jilk advised residents may
request the City to hold a referendum on the special levy by
registering a petition with the County Auditor. The petition must
represent ten percent of the number of voters at the last general
election.
Administrator Stephan Jilk provided a chronological summary of the
City's involvement with the armory project beginning in 1985 when
the Minnesota Army National Guard initially contacted the City to
present date. Jilk further reviewed the location of the armory
site which consists of approximately 13 acres on Highway 3 just
north of Rosemount High School. The administrator advised the
Guard has proposed the unit to be a Division Headquarters Armory to
be utilized by the 47th Viking Division Band, the Division Military
Police and the General Headquarters for Personnel, with
approximately 35 to 40 full time employees and up to 600 personnel
on weekends.
Administrator Jilk reviewed the proposed size of the armory and the
approximate square footage of each of the facilities proposed to be
included in the project as well as those facilities which could be

well as a memorandum advising businesses city staff will begin

Highway 3 to Chippendale Avenue together with the construction of
the trail on the north side from Highway 3 to Diamond Path. Jilk
advised the city had proposed to construct the south trail as
development occurred, but since the County proposed to bill the
City for the south trail in 1991, Jilk felt construction at this
time was feasible. See Clerk's File 1990 -21.
Mayor Napper suspended the regular agenda to allow Council to
conduct a public hearing scheduled at this time. Mayor Napper
opened the public hearing to consider a rezoning from AG
Agriculture to R -1 Single Family Residential of the proposed

See Clerk's File 1990 -21.
Community Development Director Dean Johnson advised the proposed
development consists of 38 single family lots and represents the
final phase of the 208 unit Wensmann Additions Planned Unit
Development Agreement. Members of Council commented on the
proposed lots with 75 foot frontage and expressed concerns the
proposed final plat does not meet the 80 foot minimum frontage
requirement of the recently adopted Zoning Ordinance. Johnson
noted that the "vested rights" provision in the Wensmann PUD had
expired, and the City could require compliance under the new
ordinance. He noted, however, that the PUD Agreement also
required additional sideyard setbacks to guarantee maximum
structure separation. He noted further, that only eight of the
36 lots were less than 80 feet in width. See Clerk's File 1990-
21.
Members in the audience did not comment or oppose the rezoning
petition.

The city clerk presented for the record the Affidavit of Posted and
Mailed Hearing Notice and Affidavit of Publication. See Clerk's
File 1990 -21.
City Engineer Rich Hefti advised the purpose of the hearing is to
evaluate an alternate route to provide watermain to properties east
of Highway 3 and north of 160th Street as an alternative to the
original alignment considered by Council at the public hearing held
an June 5, 1990.
Consulting Engineer Steve Campbell of SEH provided an overview and
estimated costs for Project 213 and Project 213B. See Clerk's File
1990 -21.
City Engineer Rich Hefti advised the alternate route would allow
more benefit to a greater amount of property and reduce the amount
of contribution from the watermain core facility fund. Hefti
reviewed a cost comparison between the two projects indicating
which properties would be assessed and the portion of the cost the
City would be responsible for from the core facility fund. Hefti
reviewed the proposed assessment method and rates and compared the
proposed assessment costs of the two options. See Clerk's File
1990 -21.
The majority of affected property owners in attendance at the
public hearing stated their opposition to Project 213, Option B.

assessing the costs of the south trail and directed staff to
development an assessment policy for trails as well as an overall
trail maintenance policy. Council agreed residents should be made
aware of city policy regarding trail maintenance and requested an
article be included in the fall issue of the city newsletter.

Council discussed the recommendation received from staff to order
the feasibility report for Shannon Hills 2nd Additions, City
Project #216. Discussion ensued between Council and staff
regarding staff's rationale for going ahead with phases of pending
developments, with regards to lot frontage widths, that do not
comply with the current Zoning Ordinance. Johnson noted that the
PUD Agreement for Shannon Hills had a five -year vested rights
provision, protecting the development from plan or ordinance
changes. Similar to the Wensmann PUD, the City had required
additional sideyard setbacks in exchange for lot width
concessions. Johnson also noted the PUD Agreement requires
oversized lots in exchange of the narrower lots. Johnson stated
his opinion that the flexibility the PUD procedures provide are
working well and are consistent with the ordinances and the
public's interest. See Clerk's File 1990 -21.

how a residential equivalent policy would apply to future and
past street reconstruction projects; and the financial impact of
this policy on the city and the residents' real estate taxes.

recommendation later at this meeting to award the contract for a
consultant to prepare the parks and open space plan which will
include Erickson Park, the armory site and the commercial
properties between these sites and abutting Highway 3. Jilk
requested authorization to allow staff to prepare the scoping
document for the entire parks master plan, which would be reviewed

open space plan to include this study into the entire parks master
plan. See Clerk's File 1990 -24.
Residents neighboring Carroll's Woods indicated their support of
the parks master plan concept and requested that Council
reconsider the designation of two lots in Shannon Hills 2nd
Addition as a parking area for Carroll's Woods.
Following discussion by Council, a general consensus was reached
to authorize staff to prepare a scoping document for a parks
master plan. A concern was expressed from the Council that the
proposed parks master plan could cause a delay in the consultant's
recommendation for the Town Square project and Carroll's Woods.
Administrator Jilk suggested the scoping document could be
designed to allow the consultant to address the Town Square
project and Carroll's Woods as individual but concurrent plans if
it does not jeopardize the cost or integrity of the master plan.
MOTION by Willcox to direct staff to proceed with the parks master
plan concept and to draft the scoping document for this plan.

Tractor Equipment in the amount of $33,066. It was noted this
recommendation was made after further review indicating the low
bid for the Ford tractor and Mott Mower met the specifications.
Council noted the letter received from Carlson Tractor Equipment
which indicated they would honor the May 15, 1990 bid price. See
Clerk's file 1990 -24.

which included discussion on the special armory levy, the proposed
firing range to facilitate the training for fifteen agencies in
Dakota County, the concept of the school district to add
classrooms to the armory and the time lines for the design of the
facility. See Clerk's File 1990 -24.
The Council discussed the recommendation from the Parks Open
Space Committee to award the contract to Brauer and Associates of
Eden Prairie, Minnesota in an amount not to exceed $18,290 for the
Parks and Open Space Planning and Design. No action was taken
because of the previous action taken this evening to proceed with
the parks master plan. See Clerk's File 1990 -24.
Community Development Director Dean Johnson presented for Council
discussion a request from Palmer Peterson, President of Bituminous
Roadways, Inc., that the City re- evaluate its policy regarding
sand and gravel mining in order to allow him to conduct a mining
operation on the Otto Ped property consisting of 160 acres at the
2
ROSEMOUNT CITY PROCEEDINGS
REGULAR MEETING
AUGUST 7, 1990
intersection of CSAH 42 and Emery Avenue. Johnson expressed
concerns regarding the action taken by the Planning Commission to
approve issuance of a grading /excavation permit with an annual term
from May 15 to May 15 which would allow for stockpiling of sand and
gravel over the winter months. Johnson noted that because the
applicant intends to operate on the site for approximately five
years and stockpile over the winter months, the intended operation
is a full scale mining operation. In order to allow the mining
operation, the Council could consider either rezoning the property
from Agriculture to General Industrial or amending the zoning
ordinance text to include mining in the description of agriculture
uses. Following discussion by Council, it was the general
consensus that mining operations should be allowed east of Highway
52, and this issue should be referred to the Planning Commission
for consideration to amending the zoning ordinance text. See
Clerk's File 1990 -24.
Consulting Engineer Bud Osmundson of OSM provided an overview of
the Feasibility Report for Shannon Hills Second Addition Utilities
and Street Improvements, City Project 216. The consulting engineer
reviewed the proposed improvements, which includes services to two
lots dedicated as park property in accordance to the Shannon Hills
PUD Agreement. Total estimated costs for improvements is $564,600.
Osmundson then reviewed the improvements and associated costs for
Alternate "A" of the feasibility study, which would result in the
park property being dedicated, but without street and utility
access. The estimated costs for Alternate "A" is $477,000. See
Clerk's File 1990 -24.
Council discussed the two lots dedicated as park property for the
purpose of providing a parking lot for Carroll's Woods and whether
the lots should be acquired by the City through the platting of
Shannon Hills 2nd Addition, as the development agreement now reads,
or when the 3rd Addition is platted. A comment from Council
indicated the two lots could be given back to the developer if the
proposed parks master plan recommended so, but the general
consensus of the Council was to amend the Shannon Hills PUD to
exclude the two lots from dedication in the second phase.
MOTION by Willcox to amend the Shannon Hills PUD to exclude the
dedication of the two lots (Outlot A) from the second addition and
to include the dedication of these two lots (Outlot A) in the 3rd

materials. The logo is the traditional Irish shamrock with a
single bright pink rose in the heart of the shamrock, and the
slogan is "Everything's Coming Up Rosemount!" The administrator

Council reviewed a memorandum from the City's Insurance Officer
Don Darling, dated August 3, 1990, regarding the retraining of
Richard Lonnquist who was injured in 1980 while working for the
City. The memorandum outlined the suggested training program for
Lonnquist and the estimated total costs the City would pay for
continuing the employee's present benefits through the 18 month
retraining period. Rich Lonnquist was present at the meeting and
stated he felt the City should guarantee him a position upon
receiving a degree as an engineering technician.
Considerable discussion followed by Council as to whether or not
the City should guarantee Lonnquist a position as an engineering
technician upon completion of his course study. It was
recommended that Council guarantee Lonnquist a position at the
time of his successful completion of the eighteen month course and
subject to a successful probationary period. It was also
suggested that Lonnquist be given consideration above other
applicants if such a position was available upon completion of his
course. See Clerk's File 1990 -24.
MOTION by Klassen that after Rich Lonnquist successfully completes
the retraining program and a position of an engineering technician
is available with the City of Rosemount for which Rich Lonnquist
is qualified, he should be given first consideration for that

the west property boundary in preparation of the final plat.
Johnson informed Council of Parker Communication's desire to
convey the approximately 20 feet wide by 1894 feet long parcel to
the abutting property owner. The Planning Commission recommended
approval of the final plat subject to an executed lot combination
agreement causing the outlot to be legally combined with the
Severson property. Parker Communication representatives confirmed

his previous home, it has been discovered the applicant's parcel
is landlocked with no legal access identified and the septic
system for the property is situated on the property now owned by
his son. Johnson noted the Planning Commission recommended

AUGUST 21, 1990
Council continued discussion on the recommended additions to the
armory facility. Administrator Stephan Jilk reviewed the
Community Facility Committee's recommended additions and
associated costs which included a gymnasium upgrade, parks and
recreation offices, auditorium (theatre), banquet facility and
multi purpose facility for a total cost of $4,947,000. Jilk
advised in order to provide funding for all of these facilities,
it would be necessary for the City to sell general obligation
bonds. It was the committee's recommendation that the Council
consider holding a referendum to allow the general public to
consider the recommended additions to the armory. The
administrator also pointed out that some of the recommended
additions could be afforded through the city's present levies and
other funding means available; and the Council could choose from
the committee's recommended additions by prioritizing the list of
recommmended items that should be included when the amory is built
and items that could be added in future years.
Considerable discussion was held by Council regarding the
committee's recommendations and whether the Council should choose
those items which could be added to the armory without holding a
referendum or whether the residents should be given the
opportunity to vote on the committee's recommendation for all the
items. Council concurred this issue should be discussed further
at the Special Meeting scheduled for August 28, 1990, at 6:30 p.m.
at City Hall.
Council discussed the recent letter received from Dean Weigel,
Executive Director of the Minnesota Valley Humane Society. Weigel
requested that Council authorize financial assistance in further
environmental testing of the City's old dump site, which is being
considered as a possible site for the Humane Society's animal
shelter. The Council was informed the Minnesota Valley Humane
Society will be contacting each individual council member
regarding this issue. See Clerk's File 1990 -25.

Published this 13 4 day of CS 1990 in Dakota County Tribune.
Pursuant to due call and notice thereof a Special Meeting of the
City Council of the City of Rosemount was duly held on Wednesday,
August 22, 1990, at 5:00 p.m. in the Council Chambers.
Mayor Napper called the meeting to order with all members present.
Mayor Napper led the group in the Pledge of Allegiance.
David R. Kroos of Boarman Associates, Inc., the consulting firm
contracted to conduct the space needs assessment study for the
City, reviewed the Interim Report of the facilities study with
Council. Kroos noted the purpose of the Interim Report is to keep
Council current on the progress of the study and to provide Council
the opportunity for input throughout the process. Within the next
few weeks, Council will meet with the Citizens Advisory Committee
members for further discussion on the facilities study developed by
Boarman Associates. See Clerk's File 1990 -26.
The next items for discussion were the final two goals for 1990 set
by the City Council and staff at a goals setting session in
February, 1990.
City Administrator Stephan Jilk referred to the executive summary
of the Citizens Attitude Survey regarding the residents' desire for
more constant and frequent communications between City Hall and the
residents. Council and staff discussed the present scope and
frequency of the city's community newsletter. Alternatives to the
current community newsletter were discussed such as publishing more
often, purchasing advertisement space in a local paper for
publication of a city newsletter or the possibility of a newspaper
published for Rosemount only and incorporating the city's community
newsletter into this publication. Developing a business flyer,
having a community information coordinator and televising the
council meetings were other suggestions discussed for improving
communications between city hall and the citizens. Council also
discussed holding town meetings at the end of a year which would
allow council to report on the status of the goals established for
the current year and to inform residents of issues and goals to be
discussed the succeeding year. This time schedule would also allow
newly elected city officials to be involved in the town meeting
process. See Clerk's File 1990 -26.

Council discussed the goal of taxes vs. services and referred to
the executive summary of the Citizens Attitude Survey which
concluded that, "more than half of the citizens surveyed would
support a property tax increase if it were required to maintain
city services at the present level" and that residents were
satisfied with the level of city servies received for their tax
dollars. Council discussed the cost for providing city services,
such as streets, utilities, fire, police and parks, to meet
present population needs and future population growth. Council
referred to the proposed 1991 budget regarding park and street
maintenance and staffing requirements. Council and staff
unanimously concurred communications should be ongoing to allow
residents' input as to what services they want and to keep
residents informed of the costs for city services. Council also
agreed the citizens should be aware of how the city's budget
affects their property taxes.
Council concurred further discussion on the 1991 Operating Budget
will be discussed at the August 28, 1990 Special Council Meeting.

SPECIAL MEETING
AUGUST 28, 1990
City Administrator Stephan Jilk reviewed his memorandum dated
August 24, 1990 regarding the proposed armory and possible
additions or enhancements by the City to the armory. The
administrator went over the items presented for consideration by
the Community Facility Committee and the estimated cost for each of
the items. Jilk outlined what funds are available for financing
consideration without a referendum which included additional funds
from the National Guard, funds available by using the special levy
and the original levy and funds available through long term
financing at an estimated eight percent rate and a twenty year
payback term. The administrator presented four different options,
which consisted of the various recommended items received from the
citizens advisory committee, that are available for consideration
without additionally approved levies through a referendum.
Administrator Jilk noted decisions on whether or not to include the
upgraded gymnasium, parks and recreation offices and the theatre
should be made now to allow the design work to progress. Whereas,
the designing of the banquet facility and multi purpose arena
should be done now but could be eliminated from the overall design
on or before bids are let on the project.
Considerable discussion followed by Council. Each member of the
Council provided his or her selection on which items should be
considered additions to the armory with funds available without a
referendum and which items should go to the general public for
consideration through a referendum.
MOTION by Napper to approve the purchasing of the gymnasium upgrade
and the parks and recreation offices as additions to the armory and
to recommend a referendum be held on the banquet facility, multi-
purpose arena and theatre. SECOND by Klassen. Ayes: Willcox,
Wippermann, Napper, Klassen. Nays: Oxborough.
Council Member Oxborough commented he was not against the proposed
additions to the armory but felt the Community Facility Committee's
recommendation to hold a referendum on all the recommended
additions should be considered.
Council requested the city administrator to determine if the
addition of a theatre could be specified as an alternate bid.
City Administrator Stephan Jilk provided an overview of the
proposed 1991 General Operating Budget and 1991 -1995 Capital
Improvements Budget. Department heads also reviewed the operating
budgets for their departments and answered questions from Council
regarding their budgets. The proposed 1991 operating budget is
$4,108,754 and the proposed levy for 1991 is $2,498,285. Jilk
stated the proposed levy may cause an increase of property taxes by
1% or $9.00 of an average home. See Clerk's File 1990 -27.
MOTION by Napper to adopt A RESOLUTION SETTING THE PRELIMINARY 1991

197, Valley Oak Pond Outlet Improvements.
The city clerk presented for the record the Affidavit of
Publication and Affidavit of Mailed and Posted Hearing Notice. See
Clerk's File 1990 -28.
Consulting Engineer David Simons of SEH provided an overview of
City Project 197 which provides for storm sewer construction and
pond grading improvements for the Valley Oak Pond, Outlot B, and
two downstream ponding areas located immediately to the south.
Simons reviewed the watershed district which contributes to the
ponding system and advised approximately 77 percent of the area
contributes to Pond No. 1. The consulting engineer presented a
total estimated cost of $210,000. See Clerk's File 1990 -28.
City Engineer Rich Hefti advised city staff is investigating two
options for recovery of cost which include assessing the costs to
property owners within the watershed district or recovering costs
through a storm sewer utility charge.
It was the general consensus of the residents who attended the
public hearing that they objected to the project. Several
residents thought the drainage improvements should have been
considered when Pond No. 1 was originally constructed, and several
residents advised they wanted water to stay in Pond No. 1.

General Election Day. Schedule No. 2 set out timelines for holding
a referendum on February 5, 1991. The administrator noted Schedule
No. 1 could be followed and accomplished, but the problem of not
having very accurate cost data would exist. Discussion resulted in
Council concurring to holding a November 6, 1990 referendum. It
was their general consensus the November 6, 1990 election would
involve more citizen participation. See Clerk's File 1990 -28.

City Administrator Stephan Jilk presented for Council approval the
three questions for the community center referendum. Jilk advised
the city's legal bond counsel has approved the format for the three
questions to be placed on the November 6, 1990 General Election
ballot. Jilk recommended the proposed cost for the multi- purpose
arena be set at $3,000,000. Jilk advised the architect's most
recent cost estimate for the multi purpose arena is $2,700,000
which does not include legal, architectural and bond issuance
costs.
Ronald Pederson, 3511 143rd Street West, and George Boomer, 12545
Danbury Avenue, addressed the Council on behalf of the Rosemount
Hockey Association with regards to the multi purpose arena. Both
residents felt the cost estimates for the multi purpose arena were
1
too high and requested that Council delay the referendum to allow
city staff to gather more accurate costs for the facility.
Boomer listed to Council several ice arena projects, and the
proposed or final costs which were considerably lower than the
proposed $3,000,000. Boomer offered several suggestions for
lowering the total cost of the project.
Based upon the most recent information and cost estimates
received from the architect, Administrator Jilk stated he would
not be comfortable in recommending the lowering of the estimated
costs for the multi- purpose arena at this time.

SPECIAL MEETING
SEPTEMBER 17, 1990
Council discussed the Dakota County Resource Recovery Project, and
the lengthy delay time the County could be facing in going forward
with the incinerator project because of the position the Minnesota
Pollution Control Agency (MPCA) has taken on siting requirements
for an ash depository. Council discussed possible alternatives the
County could consider in locating a landfill for the ash and the
possible involvement of the City in assisting the County in
resolving the issue.
Council also discussed the possibility of purchasing the University
of Minnesota property located in Rosemount and issues that would be
related with the purchase such as potential liabilities, existing
businesses, utilities, financing and additional city staff.
Council concurred a legal consultant should be contracted by the
city if this issue is pursued.
Council concurred owning the University of Minnesota property
located in Rosemount would allow the City to control current
projects existing on the property as well as future waste
management projects that could be located there. Following
discussion on the various waste management projects that could be
located on the University of Minnesota property, Council reached a
consensus that a statement should be made to Dakota County, in the
form of a resolution, that the City will make every effort to
obtain possession of the University property in the City, and that
whatever waste management projects occur in Dakota County that
affect the City of Rosemount, should be considered to be located on
the University property in the City.
Administrator Stephan Jilk discussed with Council the time city
staff has spent on the Dakota County Resource Recovery project over

East.
The city clerk presented for the record the Affidavit of Mailed and
Posted Hearing Notice and Affidavit of Publication. See Clerk's
File 1990 -30.
Community Development Director Dean Johnson advised the city
received a petition from Otto Ped to rezone his 160 acre property
situated south of CSAH 42 and one and one -half miles east of TH52
from Agriculture Preserve to Agriculture. The property is no
longer enrolled in the Metropolitan Agricultural Preserve Program.
See Clerk's File 1990 -30.

File 1990 -30.
Community Development Director Dean Johnson advised Otto Ped, 4991

amended to allow mineral extraction as a permitted use in the
Agriculture District east of State Trunk Highway 52. Johnson
further advised the current Zoning Ordinance only allows mineral
extraction in the General Industrial District, and approval would
allow a sand and gravel mining operation to be conducted on Ped's
property. See Clerk's File 1990 -30.
Johnson answered questions from Council regarding the reclamation
of the land after the mining is completed and the possibility of
other mining operations occurring in the vicinity if the Zoning
Ordinance Text was amended. Johnson noted that even though the
previous zoning ordinance permitted mining operations in an
agricultural district, there were very few operations.
Petitioner Otto Ped estimated the mining operation would last
approximately five to seven years, and trees would be planted once
the ridge is removed.

Marlin Rechtzigel, 3540 140th Street East, requested that
Council consider moving the west boundary line of the permitted

located approximately 1100 feet west of Highway 52.
MOTION by Napper to close the public hearing. SECOND by
Oxborough. Ayes: Oxborough, Klassen, Willcox, Napper. Nays:
0.
A concern was expressed from Council the amendment may cause
simultaneous mining operations in the same vicinity unless the
Zoning Text amendment would allow only one mining operation at a
time. Following further discussion, the Council reached a
general consensus to the feasibility of moving the west boundary
line to the abandoned railroad tracks since Council will be
considering expansion of the General Industrial District in
eastern Rosemount and because of Koch Refinery Co.'s efforts to
acquire property east of Akron Avenue.

Consulting Engineer David Simons of SEH presented cost estimates
and the recommended alternative for converting Pond No. 1 into a
retention pond rather than a dry pond as approved at the public
improvements hearing held on September 4, 1990 to consider City
Project 197, Valley Oak Pond Outlet Improvements. The consulting
engineer reviewed the recommended alternative to overexcavate the
pond to accommodate an additional 3.5 feet of standing water and
installing an 18 inch clay liner in the pond bottom at a total
estimated cost of $90,000. Several residents expressed concerns
the clay liner could possibly eliminate existing vegetation.
Because of new information and cost estimates on the project, it
was the general consensus of the Council to hold another public
hearing to allow residents the opportunity to provide input on this
information. City Engineer Hefti informed Council an additional
public hearing could delay start of the project until Spring, 1991;
but the City had the capability of pumping the pond in the event of
storms or rising water due to rapid snow melt. File 1990 -30.
MOTION by Willcox to table approval of the plans and specifications

City Administrator Jilk requested Council affirmation of the
position taken by the Parks Recreation Committee and the City
Council to allow trail maintenance in Carroll's Woods and the
annual Haunted Woods activity this year. Jilk advised the specific
request is the result of residents who have voiced concerns not
only against a certain maintenance program in Carroll's Woods until
the parks master plan is completed but also for the lack of an
ongoing park maintenance program. Council Member Harry Willcox,
Council Liaison to the Parks and Recreation Committee, commended
the committee for their action to place a moratorium on further
development of the park until the master parks plan is completed.
Willcox concurred with the committee's past action to support the
continuation of necessary maintenance in Carroll's Woods and
reiterated his support of the Council's position to allow the
Haunted Woods event this year in Carroll's Woods. See Clerk's
File 1990 -30.

Community Development Director Johnson reviewed the preliminary
plat for Cimarron Village Townhouses Final Plat which consists of
a 3.7 acre lot for a 36 unit rental townhouse project. The
Planning Commission recommended approval of the final plat subject
to an executed subdivision development contract. Developer Mike
Conlan of Conlan /Nichols Company requested that Council waive the
requirements for posting a bond or letter of credit regarding
water line and landscaping improvements. Conlan advised that
because the project will be financed by a loan insured by the FHA,
he would be obligated to provide full payment and performance
bonds to guarantee construction of the entire project and
therefore felt this protection would provide adequate assurance to
the City. Community Development Director Johnson advised that the
city attorney rendered an opinion the City may not be protected in
the worse case scenario. Council concurred that in the absence of
a guarantee from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban
Development and from the city attorney, the request from the
developer should be denied. See Clerk's File 1990 -32.

Committee for the Space /Facilities Needs Study to discuss and
receive their comments and input on the Interim Report of the

"Option C" of the report advising this was the option the Citizens
Advisory Committee reached a consensus on as the most appropriate
solution for the City's long term goals and objectives.
Committee members in attendance at the meeting provided comments
that the recommendations in the report would not necessarily cause
an expansion of city hall but rather the moving of departments into
other areas; that the design of City Hall is the problem rather
than lack of space; the importance of proper design and adequate
work space, and the importance of having the deputy registrar
department more accessible to the public during and after regular
city hall work hours.
Council unanimously commended the Citizens Advisory Committee for
the excellent report and agreed the report will be well utilized as
a long term master plan. Council concurred the recommended phasing
was very logical but also very flexible.
Council and city staff members thanked the committee members for
their time and effort in this study.
By unanimous consent the Council requested the consultant to
prepare the final report and bring back to council in approximately
one month.
The next item discussed by Council was the proposed street
reconstruction policy. City Engineer Rich Hefti discussed policies
adopted by other cities and the different assessment methods
1
available such as front footage, actual costs and predetermined
amounts and residential equivalents. After considerable
discussion, Council concurred that a draft policy should be
prepared and should include a residential equivalent unit price,
a percentage of the unit price to be assessed to the property
owner, a deferment policy, and an assessment method for urban
versus rural area projects. Council concurred to discuss this
policy again at the October 16, 1990 Regular Council Meeting.

ROSEMOUNT CITY PROCEEDINGS
REGULAR MEETING
OCTOBER 16, 1990
The simulated disaster will activate the Emergency Response Team of
Koch Refinery and will progress to a stage where Koch will be
requesting assistance from the City of Rosemount. Knutsen advised
the table top exercise is in preparation for an actual emergency
drill to be held in the spring of 1991 and invited the Mayor and
Council Members to be involved. See Clerk's File 1990 -34.
Mayor Napper suspended the regular agenda discussion at 8:00 p.m.
in order to conduct the public hearing scheduled at this time.
Mayor Napper opened the public hearing to consider Valley Oak Pond
Outlet Improvements, Alternate A, City Project 197A.
The city clerk presented for the record the Affidavit of
Publication and Affidavit of Mailed and Posted Hearing Notice. See
Clerk's File 1990 -34.
City Engineer Rich Hefti advised the purpose of the public hearing
is to consider an alternate to City Project 197 approved at the
September 4, 1990 public hearing. Approval of City Project 197,
Alternate A, would consist of excavating Pond #1, of City Project
197, and lining it so it would hold water on a full -time basis when
rainfall amounts are adequate. See Clerk's File 1990 -34.
Consulting Engineer David Simons of SEH reviewed the three
alternatives available for converting Pond #1 into a retention pond
and recommended overexcavating the pond as a two acre pond or an
irregular one acre pond. Simons further recommended installing an
18 inch clay liner in the bottom of either of the ponds to
accommodate an additional 3.5 feet of standing water. Simons
illustrated a cost comparison for constructing a dry pond, a two
acre pond and a one acre pond and the proposed assessments if the
costs were spread over the entire watershed district or only over
the lots surrounding the pond. Simons advised funding may be
available, for the creation of the pond, through the U.S. Fish
Wildlife Service and Ducks Unlimited. See Clerk's File 1990 -34.
Several residents attending the public hearing expressed their
viewpoints as to whether the pond should be a dry pond or a wet
pond. It was the general consensus from the residents, who did not
live on the pond, that they opposed paying the additional costs for
overexcavating the pond into a wet pond. Several residents
expressed concerns the pond was not properly maintained by the
City.
MOTION by Napper to close the public hearing. SECOND by Rlassen.
Ayes: Willcox, Napper, Oxborough, Rlassen. Nays: 0.
Council reached a consensus to table action on Alternate A of
Project 197 until they have had more time to review the testimony
given at the public hearing as well as documentation.
MOTION by Napper to defer action on Alternate A of City Project 197
until November 20, 1990. SECOND by Willcox. Ayes: Napper,

By unanimous consent of the Council, a fifteen minute recess was
called.
Parks Recreation Director David Bechtold advised Deanna Simpson
has been notified the City's flower garden project has been
selected by the State Horticulture Society as one of the top
eighty projects in the last three years. Bechtold advised Deanna
will accept this award on behalf of all the volunteers who have
been involved in the project.

Nays: 0.
David J. Ganfield, 13728 Danbury Path, requested that Council
initiate condemnation proceedings for a drainage easement across
his backyard as well as two neighboring lots in Country Hills 2nd
Addition. Ganfield referred to past communications between
himself and Lee Johnson of U.S. Homes and the fact that he and
Johnson are unable to reach an agreement on the value of the
easement. Lee Johnson of U.S. Homes objected to condemnation
proceedings since Lots 12, 13 and 14 could be filled in and since
he felt his offer for the easement rights was fair. See Clerk's
File 1990 -34.
City Engineer Hefti recommended that Council authorize the
condemnation proceedings since U.S. Homes has the responsibility
to provide the City with the required easement and cannot reach
an agreement with the property owners. Hefti further recommended
that U.S. Homes be responsible for the cost of obtaining these
easement since they were not obtained at the time the lots were
sold.

NOVEMBER 6, 1990
Pursuant to due call and notice thereof a regular meeting of the
City Council of the City of Rosemount was duly held on Tuesday,
November 6, 1990, at 8:00 p.m. in the Council Chambers at City
Hall.
Mayor Napper called the meeting to order with all members
present.
Mayor Napper led the group in the Pledge of Allegiance.
The agenda was amended to include the following: Item 7(d)
Christmas Tree Lighting: Wiring Project; and 10(a) 11/7/90
Special Council Meeting.
Mayor Napper opened the scheduled public hearing at 8:00 p.m. to
consider the Variance Appeal submitted by Larry Newland, 14590
Biscayne Way.
The City Administrator presented for the record the Affidavit of
Publication and Affidavit of Mailed and Posted Hearing Notice.
See Clerk's File 1990 -35.
Mr. Newland has requested an appeal to the denial by the Board
of Appeals and Adjustments to allow a variance to minimum zoning
ordinance side and rear yard setback requirements to allow
construction of a 14' x 18' (252 sq. ft.) accessory structure to
within five feet of both the rear and side yard lot lines. The
current ordinance states that accessory buildings over 150
square feet in the R -1 District must maintain 30 -foot rear yard
and 10 -foot side yard setbacks.
City Planner Wozniak advised that Mr. Newland has already
constructed the building to within five feet of both the side
and rear yard lot lines (former ordinance regulations). Wozniak
further noted that construction continued and was completed
despite being advised of the necessity of acquiring a variance
and without benefit of the issuance of a building permit. The
Board of Appeals and Adjustments denied the variance petition
based upon the grounds that the request did not meet the
requirements for variances as established in Section 15.2 of
Ordinance B City of Rosemount Zoning Ordinance.
Building Official Ron Wasmund provided a chronological summary
of events which ultimately led to the issuance of a citation for
failure to comply with zoning ordinance requirements and
building codes. Attorney David Harmeyer confirmed the issues
presented and further stated that citations have been considered
at an arraignment hearing with a pre -trial date set for November
13, 1990.
Larry Newland, petitioner, agreed with staff's presentation of
the facts; however, he explained that upon initial contact with
the City regarding his proposed accessory structure the previous
ordinance was in effect, which allowed the five foot side and
rear setbacks. Mr. Newland based his construction plans on
1
ROSEMOUNT CITY PROCEEDINGS
REGULAR MEETING
NOVEMBER 6, 1990
these requirements and learned of the increased restrictions in
the new ordinance after submitting his building permit
application. Existing landscaping and potential fire hazard due
to proximity of an existing garage were cited as rationale for
placement of his building. Mr. Newland stated that Rosemount is
more restrictive than surrounding communities regarding setbacks
for accessory structures, and, although it may not have been the
City's intent when drafting the new conditions, current ordinance
regulations would allow as many as six smaller structures at the
setback he has proposed for his one 252 square foot building. He
expressed his frustration at the length of time for scheduling of
the variance hearings. Becoming impatient with the procedure, he
completed the structure as he had originally planned, without a
building permit or variance approval.
Tim Barnes, 14600 Biscayne Way, concurred with Mr. Newland's
recommendation that the City consider amending the ordinance to be
less restrictive in regard to accessory structures in the R -1
District and that methods should be adopted to expedite the
variance procedure. Mr. Newland presented the Council with a
petition signed by area residents indicating approval of the
placement of the subject structure and in support of an amendment
to the zoning ordinance. See Clerk's File 1990 -35.
There were no other comments from the audience.
MOTION by Napper to close the public hearing. SECOND by Klassen.
Ayes: Willcox, Wippermann, Napper, Oxborough, Klassen. Nays: 0.
Council acknowledged that the variance request did not meet the
findings necessary for granting of a variance. Although there may
be merit in discussing an ordinance amendment in the future,
Council concurred that their decision must be based upon the
current ordinance standards.
MOTION by Napper to deny the appeal to variance denial of Larry
Newland on the grounds that his request does not meet the
requirements of Section 15.2 of Ordinance B City of Rosemount
Zoning Ordinance. Second by Wippermann. Ayes: Wippermann,
Napper, Oxborough, Klassen, Willcox. Nays: 0. See Clerk's File
1990 -35.
The Council was introduced to Christopher Lee Hoyt, new police
officer for the City of Rosemount, who had been sworn in and
assumed his duties on October 30, 1990. Council congratulated Mr.
Hoyt on his employment and welcomed him to the City of Rosemount.
Community Development Director Dean Johnson advised of a request
for the City, along with several other metro area municipalities,
to participate in the Host City Program for the 1991 International
Summer Special Olympics to be held in Minnesota next summer. The
City of Rosemount will serve as host to the country of Indonesia
and organize and encourage support and involvement from local
civic organizations, institutions and businesses.

for the sale of General Obligation bonds for Improvement
Projects for 1990. Dan O'Neill, Springsted, Inc., described the
issues and detailed the amounts of bond sales required to
complete six projects by the end of 1990.
Police Chief Elliel Knutsen presented a summary of a training
session held at City Hall on October 26, 1990. This activity
involved a "Table Top Exercise" which simulated a Koch Refining
disaster and provided a means for evaluation of participant
reaction and response to fictitious emergency situations. Those
participating in this successful operation included several
department heads, the police department and fire department
representatives, as well as representatives of county and state
emergency service personnel.

Following a public hearing at its' September 18, 1990 regular
meeting, Council failed to approve a petition for a text
amendment to the Zoning Ordinance to allow mineral extraction as
a permitted use in the Agriculture District east of State Trunk
Highway 52. Four votes in favor are necessary for approval of a
Zoning text amendment. As a dissenting voter, Mayor Napper has
requested this item be brought up at this meeting for
reconsideration by Council. City Planner Michael Wozniak
briefly reviewed the circumstances which led to this request
which would allow Mr. Otto Ped to conduct a sand and gravel
mining operation to remove a ridge situated on his property and
render the terrain more conducive for agriculture use.
Mr. Otto Ped, 4992 145th Street East, stated that his property
has been described by the PCA as marginal for suitable
agriculture purposes. Wayne Zelmer, Dakota County Soil and
Water Conservation District representative, discussed the merits
of the proposed project and extended full technical support to
the property owner throughout the operation and final
reclamation.
Palmer Peterson, Bituminous Roadways, Inc. and potential mining
operator, discussed the preference of a mining permit over an
excavation permit as being more operational and seasonably
feasible. Council members Klassen and Wippermann stated they
had no objections to the activity proposed for Mr. Ped's
property; however, they expressed reservations in allowing
mineral extraction in the AG District stating their concern that
it would encourage and promote the development of several gravel
pits in this area. Their preference would be that this
operation take place under a seasonal excavation permit.

By unanimous consent of the Council, a ten minute recess was
called at 9:40 p.m. with the meeting reconvened at 9:50 p.m.
Due to a word processing error, a provision of the zoning
ordinance was inadvertently misprinted and several copies of an
incorrect version of the ordinance have been distributed. Staff
has determined that the incorrect copies of the Zoning Ordinance
were first distributed earlier this year after the text of the
ordinance was converted from one word processing computer program
to another to facilitate ease of printing of the document for
public distribution. City Planner Wozniak advised that there is
no legal requirement to hold a public hearing or to republish
since a summary of the ordinance was originally published, rather
than a verbatim copy.
MOTION by Napper that the Council acknowledged the error in the
final published copy of Ordinance B City of Rosemount Zoning
Ordinance, pertaining to accessory buildings located east of Akron
Avenue; and to authorize the redistribution of corrected copies to
City Council, Planning Commission, public libraries and other
agencies in receipt of the document. SECOND by Wippermann. Ayes:

Community Development Director Dean Johnson informed Council, that
upon further investigation and interpretation by the city
attorney, it has been determined that the current ordinance does
not require extraordinary aesthetic treatment of accessory
structures situated east of Akron Avenue. This eliminates the
requirement for Mr. and Mrs. Greg Bergacker to seek a variance for
their proposed accessory storage building at 13080 Akron Avenue.
Council directed staff to address a letter to the Bergackers
informing them of the recent findings, apologizing for the delay
in issuing a building permit and thanking them for their patience;
and, further, directed that the Bergackers receive a refund of the
Variance Petition fee.

ROSEMOUNT CITY PROCEEDINGS
REGULAR MEETING
NOVEMBER 20, 1990
Council held discussion on Project 197, Valley Oak Pond Outlet, as
to whether the Valley Oak Pond located within the Winds
Crossing Addition should be left as a dry pond, as approved by
Council on September 4, 1990, or changed to a wet pond with the
capability of holding water should there be adequate runoff
available. If the wet pond was included in the project, it was
suggested the maintenance of the pond could be addressed through a
covenant or neighborhood association of those residents living
around the pond.
Mayor Napper took his chair at this time,
Following further discussion by Council and residents from the
area, City Engineer Rich Hefti recommended the City bid the project
with the dry pond as the base bid and the wet pond as the alternate
bid. The bidding process would allow the City to go forward with
the project and also permit the City to inform residents of the
exact costs for construction of the wet pond. Council concurred
this information would be valuable in determining whether to
approve the wet pond construction. Council further concurred they
would like to know if additional funding from agencies such as the
U.S. Fish Wildlife and Ducks Unlimited is still possible before
final disposition on the project is made. See Clerk's File 1990-

Mayor Napper informed Council of his request for staff to prepare a
list of alternatives for Council to consider with regards to mining
operations in the Agriculture District. Community Development
Director Dean Johnson reviewed several alternatives and recommended
an overlay option within the Agriculture District to allow mining
operations in an area east of Highway 52 and within a one -half mile
distance of County Road 42. Council Member Wippermann suggested
language be included in the Zoning Ordinance which would keep the
mining operations small and restoration would occur on a faster
timetable then normal mining operations. As an example, Wippermann
suggested provisions that would require 75% of each phase completed
in one year and the balance within eighteen months. Johnson will
receive input from mining operators and provide further information
on Wippermann's suggestions. See Clerk's File 1990 -36.

NOVEMBER 20, 1990
Administrator Stephan Jilk commented on the more than usual
amount of official weed notices generated by the City this past
summer, and the City having to cut vegetation according to the
Weed and Vegetation Control Section of the City Code. Jilk
advised this Section of the Code was originally adopted in 1975
and amended in 1983. Jilk felt the present Ordinance may not
address the many changes and different types of land uses and
development presently existing in the community and further felt
the intent of the ordinance, to allow the City to cut vegetation
which has reached a certain level based upon complaints of
others, is not broad enough in scope. See Clerk's File 1990 -36.
A petition was received from property owners in Rosemount Hills
III Addition requesting the City to modify the current Weed and
Vegetation Control Ordinance. See Clerk's File 1990 -36.
Administrator Jilk recommended that a committee be formed
comprising of representatives from the community, city staff and
council for the purpose of reviewing the existing ordinance,
other city ordinances covering weed and vegetation control and
current information available from other sources to draft a more
encompassing and more manageable ordinance. Citizens in the
audience requested that Council consider modification of the weed
ordinance and provided suggestions on the make up of the
committee.

Vegetation Ordinance and to place it on file. SECOND by Willcox.

Council reviewed a letter dated November 15, 1990 from Mike
McDonough, Sunrise Builder Supply, 14000 South Robert Trail, in
which McDonough requested an indication as to whether or not the
City is interested in acquiring his property. Administrator Jilk
advised many issues need to be addressed before the City can move
forward on the purchase of the property. Council unanimously
agreed the property for various reasons would be a benefit to the
City and assured McDonough this issue would be dealt with in a
timely manner. See Clerk's File 1990 -36.
Community Development Director Dean Johnson reviewed the Proposed
Metropolitan Council Policies for the Rural Service Area in which
the majority of the City lies. Johnson reviewed the two primary

the position until Council has had the opportunity to review the
final draft of the proposed 1991 budget. It was also recommended a
staffing needs study be completed before the position is filled.

Mayor Napper presented for discussion the concept of a weekly
Rosemount newspaper. Economic Development Specialist Tracie
Pechonick commented on complaints received from citizens that the
current city newsletter is not produced frequently enough and most
of the information provided is either outdated or vague. Pechonick
reported on meetings staff and Mayor Napper has attended with the
editor of the "Farmington Independent" to discuss the production of
a weekly newspaper which would be mailed to each household in
Rosemount. Pechonick reviewed the proposed costs and proposed
obligations of the City and the newspaper. Staff was requested to
continue their discussions with representatives of the "This Week"
and "Countryside" to determine what opportunities are available
from these newspapers. Council concurred that staff should pursue
the concept with the "Farmington Independent" but should also
contact the "This Week" and "Countryside

1990 -39.
Administrator Stephan Jilk reviewed the notice residents received

levy for 1991. Administrator Jilk advised the actual increase in
taxes payable in 1991 caused by the proposed increase in the
City's levy will be approximately three percent or less. Jilk
explained to the audience how the increases being proposed are
supported by the rise in property valuation in the City and
advised the City experienced an increase in property valuation
from the end of 1989 to the end of 1990 of approximately 16.5
percent. See Clerk's File 1990 -39.

in reducing services provided by the City, bonded indebtedness,
and general reserve funds.

each publication. See Clerk's File 1990 -40.
Council discussed the amount of staff time involved with the
different options, the costs involved and the advantages and
disadvantages of producing a weekly publication versus a monthly
one. It was suggested establishing a volunteer community
information coordinator or a committee to accumulate and prepare
information for the publication. Following further discussion
Council directed staff to provide additional cost figures which
would include annual potential advertisement revenues from

The city clerk presented for the record the Affidavit of Mailed and
Posted Hearing Notice and Affidavit of Publication. See Clerk's
File 1990 -41.
Administrator Stephan Jilk informed Council that on December 17,
1990, City Planner Michael Wozniak was contacted by Timothy Whitten,
Project Architect for the Rosemount Retail Center Project requesting
that consideration of the proposed Guide Plan Amendment be deferred.
The reason for this request was a last minute conflict which caused
key members of the development group to be unable to attend. Jilk
advised the architect was reminded by City Planner Wozniak that a
public hearing had been scheduled and citizens would be in
attendance to listen to discussion. See Clerk's File 1990 -41.

hearing should be given the opportunity to comment and agreed to

Johnson advised the proposed amendment to the Comprehensive Guide
Plan involves a request to redesignate approximately 46 acres of
property from Agriculture to General Commercial land use designation
in the Comprehensive Guide Plan and to add the property to the
Metropolitan Urban Service Area. Johnson described the
approximately 46 acres as situated just south of CSAH 42 between
Shannon Parkway and Diamond Path. See Clerk's File 1990 -41.
Community Development Director Johnson provided a brief overview of
a site plan for the proposed commercial development and explained
the proposed phasing plan submitted by the developers.
Johnson stated this item was considered by the Planning Commission
at its January 23, 1990 and February 27, 1990 meetings, and the
Planning Commission recommended denial of this Guide Plan Amendment
on February 27, 1990. Johnson noted the applicants have now elected
to reinitiate consideration by the City Council of the proposed plan
amendment. Johnson briefly reviewed several issues relating to
staff's recommendation to deny the proposed Guide Plan Amendment
which included inconsistency with the Goals, Objective and Policies
of the Guide Plan, conflict with City policy of requiring commercial
development be located contiguous to existing commercial areas,
costs associated with construction of public utilities and the
results of a recent market analysis which indicated the proposed
development could significantly impact retail sales volume of
existing merchants and limit the potential for expansion of
commercial development.

ROSEMOUNT CITY PROCEEDINGS
REGULAR MEETING
DECEMBER 18, 1990
Several members of the audience opposed the proposed development.
Business owners in the South Rose Park commercial area felt
commercial development should continue from South Rose Park to
the west and not cause a leap frogging effect, felt the proposed
development was in conflict with the recent market analysis study
conducted for the City, advised proposed similar businesses could
jeopardize the existence of current businesses and felt continued
development in South Rose Park would only benefit the present
business owners as opposed to development of a new commercial
area. Homeowners living adjacent to the proposed commercial
development indicated support and opposition to the development
and requested consideration for a reasonable buffer and to not
extend the streets from this area into the residential areas.
Following public comment Council discussed whether to close the
public hearing or to continue it to another date so the
applicants could provide comment on their request for the
amendment to the Comprehensive Guide Plan.
MOTION by Wippermann to close the public hearing. SECOND by
Klassen. Ayes: Wippermann. Nays: Oxborough, Klassen, Willcox,
Napper.
Following failure of this motion, Council reached a general
consensus to continue the public hearing so the developers can be
present to review their proposal before Council.

Building Official Ron Wasmund reviewed a survey of cities in
Dakota County and the metropolitan area concerning maintenance
code and other treatment of building deterioration problems.
Wasmund summarized the housing maintenance codes of the two
cities in Dakota County that have housing maintenance codes in
place. West St. Paul's code applies to all housing whether owner
occupied or rental and starting in January, 1991, the ordinance
will be enforced through a contract with Dakota County HRA using
one of their housing inspectors. South St. Paul has a housing
maintenance code which applies only to rental property, and the
license cost is $15.00 per unit for a three -year period. Wasmund
also provided an overview of the eight cities out of the twenty
cities surveyed in the metropolitan area outside of Dakota County
which have maintenance codes and two others which are considering
adoption in 1991.
Wasmund estimated there are 350 -400 rental units and 50 -75
sleeping rooms or manufactured homes rented in the City. Wasmund
stated he felt there was some need in the City to have some form
of code or language for compliance, which should incorporate
standards for compliance with regards to aesthetics, energy, life
safety, health and environment. See Clerk's File 1990 -41.
ROSEMOUNT CITY PROCEEDINGS
REGULAR MEETING
DECEMBER 18, 1990
Council discussed the merits of adopting a housing maintenance code
and reached a general consensus the code should apply to all housing
whether owner occupied or rental and should be handled on a written
complaint basis only. Council directed staff to prepare the
language of a housing maintenance code based upon this criteria.
City Engineer Rich Hefti reported on his contact with the counselor
at St. Paul Vocational Institute with regards to Rich Lonnquist
serving his internship program in the City Engineering Department
beginning June 1, 1991. Hefti advised the intern position would be
responsible for basically data entry, and this responsibility met
the criteria of Lonnquist's internship program. See Clerk's File
1990 -41.
MOTION by Willcox to approve Rich Lonnquist to do his internship
program at the City based upon the criteria established by City
Engineer Rich Hefti. SECOND by Oxborough. Ayes: Willcox,

City Engineer Rich Hefti requested Council authorization to
advertise for the engineering technician position pursuant to
Council's direction to postpone advertisement of this position until
after the 1991 budget hearing held on December 11, 1990. Discussion
was held by Council as to whether advertisement of the position
should be delayed until final disposition of the 1991 budget. City
Administrator Stephan Jilk reviewed the potential revenue brought in
by this position through fees charged by providing inspection and
project management for private and public projects and projected
savings to the City by eliminating consultant fees for work required
on city projects and projected overtime by the City's second
engineering technician. See Clerk's File 1990 -41.
MOTION by Klassen to approve advertisement for the engineering
technician position. SECOND by Napper. Ayes: Wippermann, Napper,
Oxborough, Klassen. Nays: Willcox.
City Administrator Jilk presented a recommendation from Fire
Marshall George Lundy to initiate a review of the City's fire
rating. Jilk advised staff members have met and concurred major
improvements in the City's water system, communication capabilities
and improved fire department equipment, training and record keeping
should have a direct result on lowering the current rating of 6.
See Clerk's File 1990 -41.

City Engineer Rich Hefti presented for Council adoption a resolution
establishing water and sewer rates, charges and deposits for 1991.
Hefti noted the main changes in the resolution are reverting back to
quarterly charges with a minimum charge for both water and sewer.
The water consumption minimum quarterly charge will be based on
18,000 gallons and will be $18.00 plus the meter maintenance fee.
5
The sanitary sewer quarterly minimum charge will be based on
15,000 gallons and will be $27.75. Hefti further advised the
billing for sanitary sewer will be based on the actual water
consumption for the first, second and fourth quarters, and the
third quarter (June, July and August) will be estimated using the
first quarter water consumption. Concerns were expressed from
one member of the Council that the proposed minimum quarterly
charge would be unfair to senior residents on a fixed income and
would not encourage water conservation. Administrator Jilk
advised the minimum quarterly charge would bring equality to the
system in that all users would be charged equally for maintaining
the system. Hefti further recommended the city storm sewer
connection charge remain the same as 1990 until further review by
the Utilities Commission. Utilities Commission Chairperson Joe
Walsh was present and answered question regarding the
recommendations from the Utilities Commission. See Clerk's File
1990 -41.
MOTION by Klassen to adopt A RESOLUTION REESTABLISHING WATER AND
SEWER RATES, CHARGES AND DEPOSITS FOR 1991, and to allow the

Community Development Director Dean Johnson presented drawings
which identified several issues and land use concepts for the
Council to consider regarding the possibility of the City or the
Rosemount Economic Development Authority purchasing the Sunrise
Builder Supply property located at 14000 South Robert Trail.
Johnson reviewed storm water ponding information, sanitary sewer
and water availability, estimated fill material needed, potential
use as a National Guard maintenance facility and the potential
relocation of existing businesses on the west side of South
Robert Trail and what tax increment may be available for creating
a new tax increment district. Council concurred the property
could be a benefit to the City, but at this point in time,
consideration for purchasing the property was not feasible.
Council directed staff to send a letter to the owner of Sunrise
Builder Supply confirming this decision. See Clerk's File 1990-

City Administrator Stephan Jilk thanked the Council for allowing
him to attend the National League of Cities Conference in
Houston, Texas, December 1 -5, 1990. Jilk found it to be a very

worthwhile conference. Council Member Klassen also reported on her
attendance at the conference and agreed it was an excellent
conference.
City Administrator Jilk commented on the announcement by the
Metropolitan Council on December 14, 1990 of the three candidate
search ares identified and recommended for further consideration as
areas for a potential new major airport. The candidate search areas
are the Anoka Isanti Chisago Counties Area, Dakota County area
(which includes a portion of Rosemount), and the Dakota -Scott
Counties Area. The administrator reviewed the timetable for the
next steps in the process. Jilk advised within six months a task
force will propose one search area from the three and by December,
1991, the Metropolitan Council will designate the final search area.
The Metropolitan Airport Commission will then have up to four years
to select a site within the search area. Council discussed what
position and role the City should take in this process and what
would be the most beneficial and responsible to the City.
Administrator Jilk advised administrative staff from several cities
in Dakota County are presently discussing forming a committee to
discuss the issues. Jilk suggested it may be feasible to form
citizen committees to discuss and review the issues involved in the
selection process. Following further discussion, Council concurred
to the importance of staying actively involved in the entire
process. See Clerk's File 1990 -41.
Administrator Jilk advised the City of Rosemount received
notification from the Department of Economic Development that the
City of Rosemount was designated the 107th city to receive the Star
City status. A formal presentation of this designation will be held
on January 19, 1990. Council commended all the city staff members
involved in the process and specifically commended Economic
Development Specialist Tracie Pechonick for her efforts in achieving
the Star City status.
Administrator Jilk reviewed the proposed agenda for the Special
Council Meeting Open House scheduled for December 20, 1990.
Administrator Jilk advised Council of the city /county annual
legislative breakfast scheduled for January 11, 1991, at 7:30 a.m.
at the Rosemount American Legion. The purpose of the meeting is to
allow Dakota County city officials and staff to present a series of

goals and strategies for the community of which some will
represent those goals of which work still needs to be
accomplished and also new goals. The Mayor encouraged audience
members to participate in discussion, ask questions, provide
comments and suggest new goals for 1991.

ROSEMOUNT CITY PROCEEDINGS
REGULAR MEETING
JANUARY 2, 1991
City Planner Michael Wozniak presented a request for renewal of a
sand and gravel mining permit for the east 34 acres of the Lance
Johnson property located off of Rich Valley Boulevard. Wozniak
noted the current phasing plan, reclamation plan and conditions
associated with the mining permit were originally approved in
1982, and the applicant proposes to continue operation in Phases
1, 2 and 3 for approximately two more years. The current
operator of the sand and gravel operation is Bituminous Roadways,
Inc. of Minneapolis, and the owner and application for the permit
is Lance J. Johnson.
Wozniak presented an overview of the mining operation in Phases
1, 2 and 3 which showed where the mining operation had encroached
onto required mining setbacks and onto the property of Charles
Koehnen during the last permit period. City Planner Wozniak
recommended that approval of the Lance Johnson Mining Permit be
contingent on Bituminous Roadways, Inc. agreeing to completely
restore all acreage on the Koehnen property and that a separate
performance bond, cash escrow or letter of credit be required to
guarantee proper restoration of the Koehnen property. Palmer
Peterson, President of Bituminous Roadways, Inc. informed Council
the Koehnen property and required setbacks were inadvertently
excavated and would be restored. Peterson further advised a
cross section of the Koehnen property was conducted by Delmer H.
Schwanz Land Surveyors, Inc., and an agreement has been made with
the property owner for restoration of the property.
City Planner Wozniak presented staff's recommendation to require
a performance bond in the amount of $2,000 per acre for the 34
acre mining site. Wozniak noted the $2,000 per acre performance
bond requirement is the City's current policy, and this amount
would adequately guarantee the ability of the City to have the
property restored should the applicant default on the conditions
of the mining permit. Wozniak advised the Planning Commission
recommended a bond requirement of $34,000 or $1,000 per acre
which was agreeable to the applicant. Applicant Lance Johnson
presented his objections to Council regarding the $2,000 per acre
bond requirement and a one year mining permit as opposed to a two
year permit. The applicant informed Council he was agreeable to
a bond requirement of $1,000 per acre. City Engineer Rich Hefti
reviewed his memorandum dated December 28, 1990 which provided
documentation for justifying the recommended $2,000 per acre
requirement.
Palmer Peterson presented a letter to Council objecting to the
City Engineer's estimates for reclamation. Peterson felt it
would be more appropriate to use larger quantities in determining
individual costs per acre. Peterson presented a restoration cost
of $1,432 an acre.
Considerable discussion ensued by Council regarding performance
bond requirements for mining operations. Council discussed the
pros and cons of the City continuing its present policy of
requiring a consistent performance bond amount for all permit
applicants or requiring a bond amount based upon the individual
3

REGULAR MEETING
JANUARY 2, 1991
applicant. It was felt consideration should be given to the type
of mining operation, area to be mined, materials to be mined and
background of the applicant when determining the performance bond
amount. It was felt by setting individual bond amounts, it would
also eliminate a bond amount requirement from not only being too
high but also too low.
MOTION by Willcox to approve the Lance Johnson mining permit
subject to the mining permit conditions for 1991 and subject to
property restoration conditions for the Charles Koehnen property
and to require a performance bond in the amount of $34,000.
SECOND by Oxborough. Ayes: Napper, Oxborough, Willcox. Nays:
Wippermann, Klassen.
Discussion ensued by Council to direct staff to prepare
guidelines to be used in determining performance bond amounts
based on each mining permit applicant. Concerns were expressed
from Council as to the feasibility of utilizing a considerable
amount of staff time to formulate such a method and that such a
method would only complicate the process. Concerns were also
expressed that determining on an individual basis could cause a
considerable amount of time in monitoring and inspecting mining
sites.

Amendment was presented by a development group to redesignate

Commercial land use designation and to add the property to the
Metropolitan Urban Service Area. The property is located south
of County Road 42 between Shannon Parkway and a future segment of

preliminary concept drawing of the proposed retail center. The
developer commented on issues addressed by city staff and advised
Council the proposed retail center would have a positive impact
on the downtown area, the project would not cause leap- frogging
of commercial development since it would eventually be connected
to existing commercial property and the project would attract
retailers who would not want to develop in the downtown area.
Some residents from the area informed Council of their support of
the project, and other residents objected to having a retail
center close to their homes. Rich Carlson of Carlson Tractor
opposed the proposed project. Carlson expressed concerns
regarding the costs for public improvements and the detrimental
effect the project would have on existing commercial businesses

Considerable discussion was held by Council with regards to
whether a retail center at this site would cause a leap frogging
effect of commercial development and whether the project would be
detrimental to the downtown area. Mayor Napper requested for
clarification an indication from each member as to whether or not
he /she would approve the guide plan amendment if the developers
had leases from anchor tenants of the proposed retail center.
Councilmembers Willcox and Oxborough indicated they were in favor
of the project whether or not the developers had anchor tenants.
Mayor Napper indicated he was in favor of the project only if the
developers had anchor tenants for the project. Councilmember
Klassen opposed approving the amendment at this point in time but
was not sure whether anchor tenants would cause her to ultimately
approve the project. Councilmember Wippermann advised he was not
in favor of the project until the process for revising the
Comprehensive Guide Plan was completed.

proposed to redesignate property from Agriculture to General
Commercial designation and to include such property in the MUSA

See Clerk's File 1991 -11.
Community Development Director Dean Johnson advised the Guide
Plan Amendment involved a request by the L. H. Sowles Company of
Minneapolis, to redesignate from Agriculture to General
Industrial designation, a part of a 55 acre parcel of property in
eastern Rosemount. Johnson identified the location of the
property which abuts State Trunk Highway 52, between County Road
38 and County Highway 42. Johnson further advised L. H. Sowles
Company's immediate plans is to utilize ten acres for storage of
tower cranes and equipment, and the long term plans include
relocation of the entire L. H. Sowles office and operation and a
potential for its own tower crane manufacturing facility and the
development of an industrial park.
Community Development Director Johnson noted this item was
previously considered by City Council in April, 1990; and at that
time Council elected to defer action until completion of the
Comprehensive Guide Plan revision. The applicant has elected to
approach the City again because of his concern regarding the
period of time proposed for revising the Guide Plan. Johnson
commented on one of the consensus reached at a City Council goals
session for supporting the expansion of industrial development in
the Pine Bend area and to analyze the need and feasibility for
public utilities in conjunction with new development.
Property owner, Ed Dunn, and applicant, Dan Sowles, informed
Council the proposed uses of the property would have no negative
impacts to the environment and development of the 55 acres would
coincide with the City's ability to provide utilities.

Solberg parcel. Johnson noted this would provide contiguous land

September 18, 1990 which stated the City's desire to locate any
waste management projects that affect the City of Rosemount on
University of Minnesota property in Rosemount, and which
specifically addressed the USPCI waste management project. Mayor
Napper recommended the City Administrator draft a letter to USPCI
reaffirming Council's position on location of the project and
very strongly encourage USPCI to pursue locating the project on
the U of M property. Mayor Napper further recommended informing
USPCI the City Council may not be in a position to approve their
land use proposal if USPCI continues to site their project on

consensus was reached by Council to authorize the administrator
to draft a letter setting out the Mayor's recommendations. See

Minnesota property. When the Board of Commissioners learned the
City of Rosemount had not been approached for input on the
storage proposal, the Board adopted a resolution that the City of
Rosemount and Empire Township be allowed to comment on this
issue. Administrator Jilk advised city and county staff will be
discussing this issue further, and he will return to Council with

ROSEMOUNT CITY PROCEEDINGS
REGULAR MEETING
APRIL 16, 1991
Cary Perket of USPCI, Inc. addressed the Council in response to a
letter approved by the City Council on April 2, 1991. This letter
confirmed the City Council's position on having the non hazardous
waste containment facility on University of Minnesota property in
Rosemount. Mr. Perket addressed several issues which questioned
the feasibility of locating the project on University of Minnesota
property. See Clerk's File 1991 -13.
Mayor Napper suspended the regular agenda and opened a public
hearing scheduled at this time. Mayor Napper advised the purpose
of the public hearing is to consider amendments to Section 10 of
the Zoning Ordinance which would allow electronic changeable
message signs at post- secondary educational institutions.
The city clerk presented for the record the Affidavit of
Publication and Affidavit of Posted Hearing Notice. See Clerk's
File 1991 -13.
Consultant Dean Johnson of Resource Strategies advised Dakota
County Technical College requested an amendment to the Zoning
Ordinance which would allow the college to place 2'x 24'
electronic signs upon each entrance monuments located on County
Road 42. The Planning Commission, at its December 11, 1990
Regular Meeting, requested that staff pursue changes in the
ordinance that could accommodate the college, yet minimize
conflicts. Johnson advised staff suggested adding a provision to
the ordinance for a single freestanding electronic sign which
would be limited to post- secondary schools. At its March 12, 1991
Regular Meeting, the Planning Commission recommended approval of
the suggested revisions to the zoning ordinance. Johnson
commented on the city department directors recommending against
the request on the basis of the debate, time and effort which had
gone into establishment of the new sign ordinance, traffic safety
and aesthetic considerations. See Clerk's File 1991 -13.
Program Supervisor Ron McKeaver of Dakota County Technical College
explained how the concept for the sign was developed over the past
two years and how the electronic changeable message sign could
assist in enrollment of students, inform passersby about school
events and provide an opportunity to bring the college closer to
the community.
There was no other public comment in favor or against the sign
ordinance amendment.
MOTION by Napper to close the public hearing. SECOND by
Wippermann. Ayes: Willcox, Wippermann, Napper, Klassen. Nays:

It was the general consensus of Council that a great deal of time
had been spent on revising the sign ordinance, and this discussion
caused Council to agree they did not want this type of sign in the
City. Council members also expressed concerns that approval of
such a sign would open the door for additional requests by
schools, churches and businesses. A suggestion was made from the

Public Works Director /Building Official Ron Wasmund reviewed with
Council his memorandum of May 1, 1991 outlining the need to hire
a contract building inspector. Wasmund noted because of the high
level of building permit issuance and his assuming the position
as director of the public works department, it has become
impossible to keep up with the requested inspections. It was
proposed the inspector be hired on a contract basis for a period
of six months and an evaluation be made at that time for
determining the need for continued staffing. Council unanimously

Public Works Director Ron Wasmund reviewed with Council a request
from the developer of Chelsea Woods Estates and the builder of
homes on Lot 1, Block 1 and Lot 5, Block 2 to extend Cobblestone
Lane 40 feet north of the existing temporary cul -de -sac. The 40
foot extension would facilitate the permanent construction of
concrete driveways and driveway monuments. Wasmund referred to a
letter from the developer authorizing expenditure of funds for
the extension from an established escrow account. Discussion
ensued regarding snow plowing of the extension with Public Works
Director Wasmund advising the city would only snowplow the cul-
de -sac. Since Council reached a general consensus the situation
is less than desireable for the City, Council concurred the
property owners should execute a written agreement stating they
will be responsible for the maintenance of the 40' foot
extension. See Clerk's File 1991 -15.
MOTION by Napper to authorize staff to proceed with obtaining
quotes and construction of a 40 foot extension of Cobblestone

Public Works Director Ron Wasmund presented a letter of request
from Mark Parenteau, 3260 Lower 150th Street West, to remove the
existing trail and vacate the easement along the east side of his
property. Wasmund advised that although the City cannot vacate
the utility easement or any portion of the 60 foot easement, city
staff agreed the trail should be removed and the property owner
should be allowed to construct a fence within the easement. City
staff recommended a written agreement be recorded against the
property which would set out the responsibility of the property
owner removing and replacing the fence at his expense if the City
needed to enter the easement. Mayor Napper felt moving the fence
would cause walkers to go around the fence and possibly force the
adjacent property owner to put up a fence. See Clerk's File
1991 -15.

recommended an update of the long range plan for the University
of Minnesota property in Rosemount and the establishment of a
mission statement. See Clerk's File 1991 -15.
Administrator Stephan Jilk discussed the failure of the special
legislation that would have stopped the present airport search
process. Jilk advised discussions have been held with

City Administrator Stephan Jilk reviewed the four methods
available to the City for deferring special assessments.
Following this review, Council directed the administrator to
include the methods of assessment deferments into the proposed
assessment policy, to clarify the last paragraph of Item No. 4
and to provide examples of each of the four methods for the
purpose of illustrating how each deferment method could affect
the property owner and the city. Council further concurred staff
should look into providing a deferment method that would include
some type of cap on deferred interest. See Clerk' file 1991 -16.
City Administrator Stephan Jilk presented for discussion several
methods to streamline the City Council meeting process. Jilk
provided background information on possible alternatives and
recommended the following changes for consideration by Council:
(1) use consent agenda more extensively; (2) consider a
monthly /regular workshop date; (3) prepare an annual business
agenda /calendar; (4) set times for discussion of items on agenda;
and (5) continue to prepare for meetings. See Clerk's File 1991-
16.
Council concurred with Items 1, 3 and 5. Recommendations were
also made from Council to include on the executive summary form a
more complete outline of any attached staff reviews and to have
available executive summary forms for audience use. Council
generally concurred the availability of executive summary forms
could be an aid to audience members and allow staff to be more
brief in their presentations unless requested by Council to
expand on an explanation.
City Administrator Stephan Jilk presented for Council review and
consideration a revised Committee Selection Policy which would
allow the establishment of committees to the City Council in
replacement of the Council Liaison positions to departments.
Mayor Napper, who initially presented this concept in January,
1991, reiterated his opinion that council liaison positions were
out of date since the hiring of a city administrator, but now
questioned whether these committees were necessary. Discussion
was held by Council that although the new committee process would
allow for more citizen involvement, it could possibly eliminate
total council involvement on the issues and activities being
considered for committee discussion. Council agreed to table
discussion until late summer or early fall when Council will be
considering a date and time for their goal setting session. See
Clerk's File 1991 -16.

File 1991 -17.
Consultant Dean Johnson of Resource Strategies Corp. advised that
Mike McDonough has petitioned the City to amend the text of the
Zoning Ordinance to allow commercial outdoor recreation uses in
the C -2 Zoning District. Mr. McDonough proposes to develop over
a period of time an outdoor commercial recreation center but
2
ROSEMOUNT CITY PROCEEDINGS
REGULAR MEETING
JUNE 4, 1991
would like to construct and open for business in June, 1991 a go
kart track. The location of the site is 14000 South Robert Trail
where McDonough currently owns and operates Sunrise Builder
Supply.
Johnson advised the City Council that the Planning Commission at
its May 28, 1991 Regular Meeting concurred the commercial outdoor
recreation proposal deserved review under the planned unit
development process but further detail and information from the
petitioner would be required to complete such a process. The
Planning Commission recommended the petitioner requests the
Council to table action on the Zoning Ordinance Text Amendment
petition pending review of the planned unit development. Johnson
further noted the Planning Commission recommended denial of the
Zoning Ordinance Text Amendment if the petitioner failed to
request the City Council to take such action. See Clerk's File
1991 -17.
Discussion was held by Council regarding the petitioner's desire
to open the go kart track this summer. Council also discussed
the merits of requiring the proposal to be reviewed under the
planned unit development process, which would take approximately
ninety days, or to request the Planning Commission to consider
the initial phase of the go kart track proposal under a site plan
review process.
Petitioner Mike McDonough advised he did not oppose the site plan
review process if this was the best alternative for expediting
approval of his proposal and would commit to the PUD process for
the remaining phases.
Audience members encouraged Council to allow the business to open
this summer while others felt further review by the Planning
Commission was warranted.
MOTION by Napper to close the public hearing. SECOND by Klassen.
Ayes: Klassen, Willcox, Wippermann, Napper, Oxborough. Nays:

Council generally concurred they were in favor of the concept
proposed by McDonough. Discussion continued on whether the first
phase of constructing the go kart track should be allowed to
occur this summer or whether all phases of the project should be
reviewed before final approval. Members of the Council, who were
in favor of having the Planning Commission review the proposal
through a site plan review process, concurred this process would
only apply to the first phase and that subsequent phases would
require the developer to submit a planned unit development.
Council also discussed that issues such as hours of operation,
lighting, noise, etc. should be addressed in a development
agreement.

The city clerk presented for the record the Affidavit of
Publication and Affidavit of Mailed and Posted Hearing Notice.
Consultant Dean Johnson of Resource Strategies Corp. identified
Rosemount Hills Fourth Addition as a three lot subdivision
located south of County Road 38 and lying between Dodd Road and
TH3. Since a street easement across the northerly 2.59 acres was
acquired by the City in 1987 for realignment of County Road 38,
the developer petitioned for a variance to minimum lot area
requirements for the remaining 13.26 acres. Johnson advised the
Board of Appeals and Adjustments approved the variance on May 28,
1991, and the Planning Commission recommended approval of the
preliminary plat on May 28, 1991 subject to various conditions.
See Clerk's File 1991 -17.
Developer Ed Dunn requested Council to consider support of one
driveway for each lot as opposed to the restrictions required by
Dakota County that the two lot with access on CR38 share a
driveway. Council generally agreed with this request subject to
review by city staff.
Cathy Busho, 12605 South Robert Trail, advised she lives adjacent

REGULAR MEETING
JUNE 4, 1991
Consultant Dean Johnson reviewed with Council Country Hills 4th
Addition Final Plat and Planned Unit Development Amendment. The
Planning Commission reviewed and recommended approval of the
final plat on April 9, 1991 and also recommended approval of an
amendment to the Planned Unit Development (PUD). Johnson
recommended that Council withhold final approval until the plans
and specifications are approved. See Clerk's File 1991 -17.
Councilmember Klassen presented for Council consideration the
final draft of the revised weed ordinance as recommended by the
Weed Ordinance Review Committee. Klassen advised the goals of
the committee members were to provide more flexibility in
allowing wildlife habitat preservation and prairie /wildflower
landscaping while at the same time maintaining control over
unsightly situations and still staying within statutory
guidelines. Following in -depth review of the proposed revisions,
Council concurred various changes should be made to the following
sections: 5- 2 -1(C); 5- 2 -1(G); 5- 2 -3(B); 5- 2 -4(B); and 5- 2 -5(A).

Councilmember Klassen commented on several complaints she has
received on unkept properties and suggested a committee be formed
to work with staff on a housing maintenance ordinance. Following
discussion, Council concurred staff should log the number and
type of complaints, as well as other data, over the next six
months. This data along with information previously presented by
staff will then be reviewed by Council.
City Administrator Stephan Jilk presented several items directly
affecting the City of Rosemount as a result of the 1991
Legislative Session. Administrator Jilk commented on
Representative Ozment getting the special legislation passed
granting the City the authority to establish a Port Authority.
Jilk also informed Council state aid cuts will amount to
approximately $106,000 in 1991 and a little higher in 1992, but
Cities will be allowed to make up the loss in 1992 by levying the
amount of lost state aid. Otherwise, the 1991 tax bill froze
cities' levies at the 1991 level.
City Administrator Jilk also addressed the provision of the
Omnibus Tax Bill which gives local governments the option of
enacting a new 1/2 cent additional sales tax. Jilk commented on
the importance of Council supporting the 1/2 cent sales tax. If
Dakota County would not enact the sales tax increase by July 1,
1991, the county and all the cities within that county would face
elimination of all local government aid, homestead and
agricultural credit and other aid identified in the tax bill.

Clerk's File
Administrator Jilk proposed to use this opportunity to allow
USPCI to discuss concerns for the process that is on going and
some concerns Council may have regarding the University of
Minnesota property.
Cary Perket introduced USPCI staff and consultants. A map
display of the two sites being addressed was explained. Wind
calculations and a hydrogeologic chart showed how the flow is to
the east, toward the river, and why more residents would be
affected from the University of Minnesota (U of M) site than the
Hwy 55 site. Information was compiled from the Vermillion Water
Shed District and the topography maps from the United States
Geological Survey. The U of M site also does not have as deep a
basin for the 1000 year storm flow, so in "what if" situations
there would not be as much protection. Cary Perket indicated
that he will provide a copy of the fallout area for the proposed
Dakota County Incinerator on the U of M property.
Peter Hoffman presented the customers "perception" of the move as
negative. Audits are normally done by consultants for customers
of USPCI to prove the sites and process are secure. The nearness
of Super Fund status on the University of Minnesota, Rosemount,
is enough to cast doubt on this security.
Earl Finder is a customer of USPCI's now. Metropolitan Recovery
Systems is a facility located in Roseville, Minnesota which
salvages copper, nickel, chrome, etc. Most residuals handled by
USPCI are now shipped to Oklahoma because there isn't a site
closer that is secure. His customers also do audits and are aware
of recycling and hazardous waste. The possibility of third party
liability would make his customers concerned if the U of M site
was used.

ROSEMOUNT CITY PROCEEDINGS
SPECIAL MEETING
JUNE 6, 1991
Ken Jackson, president of USPCI, said that four million dollars
have been spent in the development of the site by Hwy 55. He can
not justify a two year delay with the additional $800,000 to
$900,000 on another geological study. Time is lost income and
additional expense could fold the project since the capital has
been spent. USPCI is not interested in funding any portion of
the proposed U of M study.
Paul Rogosheske discussed the available acreage that would be
usable on the U of M property. With other projects being
proposed and businesses already established on that property,
about 800 to 850 acres would be usable. This land would also be
dependent on the Airport Selection by Metropolitan Council which
is slated to go to the legislature by December, 1991. Any
structure or "cell as they proposed, could have to be removed
if the airport was indeed sited at the U of M property.
There are three Super Fund sites by the Hwy 55 site, but the
ground water flows to the river and these sites do not
contaminate the USPCI site there. One problem with the U of M
site is that a new contamination could not be identified as to
from where and who it exactly came from. The plume of
contamination is one mile wide flowing east caused by mainly by
PCB's, solvents and chloroform at a depth of 40 to 70 feet.
Becky Comstock, attorney, has worked with Super Fund issues in
this area. It is her opinion that liability from exposure to
contaminates would have to be assumed by USPCI as owner /or
leasee /or tenant. A Risk /Indemnification Agreement and monitoring
of the site would be required for the U of M site.
Cary Perket said that there would be no benefit for them or the
environment to move to the U of M site. Currently they plan to
charge $75 /ton which is higher than the marketing price of
$45 /ton so their customer has to be convinced of the security of
the site. USPCI considers the U of M site as having
insurmountable obstacles now and will not consider it acceptable.
Dennis Wippermann asked about the depth of the cells (75') and
how the topography of the Hwy 55 site v.s the U of M site lend to
this. USPCI plans to construct five cells now and five additional
on the land that would need to be rezoned from Agricultural (AG)
to Waste Management (WM).
Dean Johnson from RSC, a consultant for the city, explained the
process for land use and the Guide Plan Amendments. On March 26,
1991 the Planning Commission accepted the petition to amend the
Guide Plan. An amendment to the Guide Plan requires
consideration at a public hearing. The City Council could set a
Public Hearing on July 2, 1991, and then present it to Met
Council, then no City Council action needs to be taken to create
a sewer district for that area. The soonest action would take
place is September. A petition to rezone that area from AG to WM
would not be acted on until the Comprehensive Guide Plan
Amendment was approved.

City Administrator Stephan Jilk requested Council approval to
cancel the Country Hills 4th Addition Improvements Hearing
scheduled for this evening at 8:00 p.m. because the public
hearing notice was not published in the City's official
newspaper. Jilk noted since the City received a 100% Petition
for Local Improvements from U. S. Homes Corporation, it is not
necessary to hold a public hearing although the City routinely
holds hearings on all improvement projects. The city attorney
concurred with this recommendation. The city administrator
recommended that Council consider ordering the improvements for
Country Hills 4th Addition under Agenda Item 5(b) and presented a
draft resolution to allow this action. By unanimous consent the
Council concurred with this procedure and the resolution
submitted by staff for determining sufficiency of the 100%
petition and ordering the project. See Clerk's File 1991 -19.

Public Works Director Ron Wasmund presented an update on
discussions he and the city attorney have had with regards to
acquisition of property from Isadore and Clarice Gergen for
Jaycee Park. Since the City Council approved the purchase of 8.3
acres of land from the Gergen Family at its City Council Meeting
on April 16, 1991, the Gergens have now requested the City
consider trading two parcels of land in lieu of the cash purchase
transition. Wasmund will keep Council informed of these
negotiations and provide additional costs, if any, for this
transition of properties.
Council discussed the Consent Agenda items. Following discussion
on the June 4, 1991 Council Meeting Minutes regarding the poll of
Council taken during the McDonough Zoning Ordinance Text
Amendment public hearing, Council concurred staff should review

Director of Planning Lisa Freese updated Council on the action
taken by the Planning Commission at its June 11, 1991 regular
meeting with regards to the proposed Dakota Trax Commercial
Recreation Center. Freese advised the Planning Commission
unanimously denied the Site Plan for Phase I because of
inadequate information and further recommended denial of the
Petition to amend the Zoning Ordinance Text Amendment. Planning
Director Freese noted the applicant, Mike McDonough, has been
informed of his right to appeal the Planning Commission's denial
of the Site Plan. Freese recommended that Council consider
withholding action on the Zoning Ordinance Text Amendment until
the appeal period has expired.
Mike McDonough informed Council he objected to the Planning
Commission's reasons denial of the Dakota Trax Site Plan because
of inadequate information. McDonough stated he felt the Council
in its direction to the Planning Commission on June 4, 1991 did
not require him to submit final details and information in the
Site Plan. McDonough further objected to audience comments given
at the June 11, 1991 Planning Commission meeting.
Discussion was held on whether similar uses of outdoor commercial
recreation, such as amusement rides, could result if the City
acquired the McDonough land for park property. Director of
Planning Freese advised that if the land was acquired for park
land, it would be considered public land, and the City would have
the authority to determine the use of the park land.
Further discussion was held on the feasibility of requesting
staff to pursue an interim use permit for Phase I of the
McDonough proposal if the applicant did provided a Planned Unit

Fire Chief Scott Aker discussed the action taken on May 28, 1991
by the Fire Department membership to recommend to the fire chief,
city administration and city council that Larry Kane be granted a
medical resignation /retirement from the fire department. Fire
Chief Aker reviewed events which occurred between Larry Kane and
the Fire Department membership since his injury in July, 1989 and
how these events led to a decision by the membership to recommend
he be granted a medical resignation /retirement. Fire Chief Aker
further reviewed the four options the Fire Department membership
agreed were available to Larry Kane, and their reasons for
selecting Option #4. See Clerk's File 1991 -19.
Larry Kane and his wife expressed their disappointment in the
Fire Department not crediting him with 20 years of service even
though he had only completed 19 years. Kane felt the present
Fire Department rules and regulation should not apply to him
since his injury occurred prior to their adoption by the Fire
Department membership. Fire Chief Aker and City Administrator
Jilk concurred Mr. Kane was treated very fairly in the
interpretation of the new rules when adopted and that Mr. Kane
was not penalized for years of service because of the new rules.
The Council extended their appreciation to Larry Kane and his
family for his years of service on the Fire Department.

ROSEMOUNT CITY PROCEEDINGS
REGULAR MEETING
JULY 2, 1991
The City Administrator presented for the record the Affidavit of
Publication and the Affidavit of Mailed and Posted Hearing
Notice. See Clerk's File 1991 21.
Consultant Dean Johnson, Resource Strategies Corporation,
reviewed the past history of USPCI's original request to the
Planning Commission to redesignate the 236 acre site from
Agricultural to General Industrial and establish a Metropolitan
Urban Service Area. After careful consideration the Planning
Commission at their June 25, 1991, meeting recommended the zoning
change to be made to a Waste Management zoning. Johnson prepared
a Waste Management Comprehensive Guide Plan that would accompany
the City's Major Comprehensive Guide Plan Amendment application
to Metropolitan Council. Metropolitan Council will require 90
days to review the amendments. See Clerk's File 1991 21.
Klassen asked the proximity of the "Airport Search Area" to this
site. Johnson explained that the southern lot line boarders the
northern lines of the "Airport Search Area so it is not
affected by any regulations involving the airport search.
However, this type of land use for the Minnesota Industrial
Containment Facility would be conducive to the airport
committee's criteria.
Audience input followed. Brenda Sugii, 13701 Courthouse Blvd.,
owns property next to the site being considered. She voiced her
concern for her home value, well water purity and the ability to
prevent leakage from the storage cells. Mike McDonough, a
Rosemount resident, commented the home owners directly impacted
by development need a device or committee for a sounding board to
protect their investment. Greg Fox, lives two miles south of the
site, and was concerned about the porous soil and its closeness
to the river and also asked, "What benefit would the city see
from this industry." Administrator Jilk discussed the economic
development as adding to the businesses, employment
opportunities, and a dollar amount of every ton that would be
used to reinvest in the environmental and social aspects of
Rosemount. This involvement with USPCI also allows for the City
to set standards that must be adhered to which keeps the City
informed and more in control of any changes. Mark DeBettignies,

Director of Planning Lisa Freese reviewed the Amber Wood Estates
Final Plat and Development Contract. Planning Director Freese
noted the Final Plat includes a utility easement extending south
from a cul -de -sac which conflicts with the preliminary Master
Parks Plan which designates this corridor as a key link in the
trail system. Parks Recreation Director David Bechtold advised
that the Parks Recreation Committee recently discussed this
issue and supports a utility easement rather than a trail or
street easement. Bechtold informed Council that when the Parks
Master Plan Committee had originally designated a trail at this
location, the plat had showed a street easement rather than a
utility easement. Public Works Director Ron Wasmund and
Consulting Engineer Bud Osmundson discussed with Council the
reasons for recommending rural street construction as opposed to
curb and gutter. See Clerk's File 1991 -22.
Mayor Napper suspended the regular agenda to allow for a public
hearing sheduled at this time.

Director of Planning Lisa Freese advised Koch Refining Sulfuric
Acid Unit has petitioned the City to amend the Zoning Ordinance to
permit a spent bauxite disposal facility as an interim use in the
General Industrial (IG) Zoning District. The Planning Commission
reviewed the proposed text amendment at its July 9, 1991 Regular
Meeting and recommended that the City Council consider the concept
of allowing a spent bauxite disposal facility as an accessory use
through by means of an interim use permit. Planning Director
Freese recommended that Council withhold action until City staff
has had an opportunity to meet with Koch officials regarding the
possible requirements of an interim use permit. Council
discussion resulted in a general consensus of the Council that

sac to the southerly plat boundary is to protect the corridor for
a potential street connection in the future. Planning Director
Freese noted the utility easement does not permit streets or
trails, and future acquisition of properties would be required to
secure the street easements.
Discussion by Council followed with Council reaching a consensus
a trail easement should not be included in the final plat.
MOTION by Wippermann to approve the Development Contrauct for
Amber Wood Estated and to adopt A RESOLUTION APPROVING AMBER WOOD

Discussion was held regarding an appeal received from Mike
McDounough regarding the Planning Commission's denial of the
Dakota Trax Site Plan for Phase I. Planning Director Lisa Freese
advised the Planning Commission unanimously denied the Site
Planning for Phase I because of inadequate information and
further unanimously denied the zoning ordinance petition to to
allow outdoor commercial reacreation in the C -2 Zoning District.
See Clerk's File 1991 -22.

purpose of the public hearing is to consider the establishment of
a port authority in the City. VanderHeyden recommended the public
hearing be held on September 3, 1991, at 8:00 p.m. Assistant City
Administrator VanderHeyden noted the Economic Development
Authority Board reviewed the enabling resolution to be considered
at the public hearing and recommended it be changed to include
that two of the members of the port authority, at a minimum, be
members of the council. See Clerk's File 1991 -24.

Discussion was held regarding a letter sent to the editor of the
Rosemount Town Pages from Karen Schuller, a resident of Rosemount
and staff member at the U of M Agricultural Experiment Station.
Her letter was published on July 27, 1991 in the Rosemount Town
Pages. Councilmember Willcox stated he felt it was necessary for
him to extend a public apology to Karen Schuller and to let the
public know that condemnation of land would be the last course of
action taken by the City. Councilmember Willcox noted he was not
present at the special Council meeting Karen Schuller referred to
in her letter to the editor and that his feelings that a public
apology is necessary are based solely on the newspaper article and
Karen Schuller's letter. Acting Mayor Wippermann stated he did
not share the feelings that the newspaper article portrayed.
Wippermann further stated there was no insensitivity displayed at
the July 16, 1991 special council meeting, and he has never
recalled members of the council or city staff making negative
comments against the Agricultural Experiment Station. City
Administrator Jilk felt part of the discussion that took place at
the July 16, 1991 special council meeting was misrepresented in
the July 20, 1991 article in the Rosemount Town Pages and at no
time over the past years has land use authority discussion
included any of the Agricultural Experiment Station. City
Administrator Jilk added the City Council and City Staff have
worked long and hard to establish communications with the
University, and the misrepresentation and misquotations in the
newspaper have probably set back the spirit of cooperation between
the City and University several years. See Clerk's File 1991 -24.
City Clerk Susan Walsh presented for Council consideration a
proposal from Dakota County Auditor Norma Marsh to send out
parcel- specific notices rather than generic notices for the City's
budget hearing. City Clerk Walsh advised Dakota County is not
required to send out parcel- specific notices until the fall of
1992. The parcel specific notices would specifically tell
property owners what their 1992 property taxes will be if the
proposed levies of the county, school district and city are
adopted. See Clerk's File 1991 -24.

notices for the city's public hearing to adopt the 1992 budgets.

together a series of tours of facilities that are comparable to
the community facilities to be built as part of the armory. The
first tour is August 7, 1991 at Apple Valley High School Theatre.
Minnesota National Guard officials are optimistic the funding
will be approved at this year's congressional session. See
Clerk's File 1991 -24.
Public Works Director Ron Wasmund reviewed the options available
to provide water, sanitary sewer and storm sewer to the armory
site. Wasmund advised the Utilities Commission reviewed this
information at its August 5, 1991 regular meeting. Wasmund
advised city staff has recommended the Utilities Commission
authorize funding of the feasibility studies and participate in
the cost of installation of the utilities to the armory site.
This item will be brought back to Council upon further review by
the Utilities Commission. See Clerk's File 1991 -24.
Councilmember Oxborough requested that staff investigate the
unsafe conditions at a vacant house located just west of the APCO
station on Lower 147th Street. City Administrator Jilk advised
City staff will look into all of the concerns addressed by
Councilmember Oxborough.
City Administrator Jilk reminded Council that on August 16, 1991,
the Airport Search Committee will announce its final search area
selection. See Clerk's File 1991 -24.

two. Discussion also ensued on whether the waste management
designation should be restricted to the University of Minnesota
property or to the University of Minnesota property and the Pine
Bend area. City staff anticipated the Planning Commission would
review and make recommendations to the City Council on USPCI's
application for amendments to the Comprehensive Guide Plan on
September 3, 1991.
Discussion on policy for multi family housing included issues on
how many units there should be and should multi family housing be
dispersed throughout the city or concentrated. Discussion was
also held on whether rental units and non rental townhomes should
be considered in the number for multi- family housing. A concern
was raised that the policy could become too exclusive for certain
types of multi family housing.
It was also felt the policy could draw the type of development the
City would want without pre zoning property for multi family
housing.
Development along railroad corridors was discussed.
Rural residential development was discussed. More specifically,
the concern to maintain a certain area of the northern tier of the
City in large lot development to protect certain amenities in that
area was addressed. Large lots, clustering and conservancy
districts were discussed as methods of accomplishing this.
A consensus was reached to decide what this group is trying to
accomplish with rural residential zoning; and at the next meeting
goals in this area will be clarified.

By unanimous consent the Council went into a closed session at
10:20 p.m. to discuss potential litigation on the USPCI project.
By unanimous consent the Council reconvened the open session of

City Administrator Jilk discussed the selection of the Dakota
Search Area as the location for a possible replacement airport of
Minneapolis -St. Paul International Airport as recommended by the
New Major Search Area Advisory Task Force on August 16, 1991.
City Administrator Jilk emphasized the importance of the City of
Rosemount looking out for its own interests. The administrator
felt the best representative for the City of Rosemount in future
months and years is the City itself. The City Council reviewed a
draft resolution which stated some of the major flaws that have
occurred in the process to date. The resolution further declared
the City's opposition to the two -track process and cited the
necessity of the City of Rosemount taking a leading role in
representing itself and working with other affected communities in
determining the process, along with the Metropolitan Council and
Metropolitan Airports Commission, for selecting the final location
for the airport. A recommendation was made from Council to
include a statement that the process for determining whether or
not to expand the future Minneapolis -St. Paul International
Airport should be completed with a 24 -month period. Following
discussion of this recommendation, Council reached a general
consensus to include such a statement. See Clerk's File 1991 -26.

Highway 55 to approximately 1.5 miles east to the Chicago
Northwestern Railroad crossing. Wasmund advised the project is to
be assessed 100% to the property, and the total cost of the
project was $243,303.09. Wasmund proposed distributing the cost
over 17 parcels on a lineal front footage basis. See Clerk's File

Mayor Napper opened the public hearing to consider a request to
rezone property located at 3315 144th Street West from R -1
Single Family to PUB Public.
The city clerk presented for the record the Affidavit of
Publication and Affidavit of Mailed and Posted Hearing Notice.
See Clerk's File 1991 -26.
Director of Planning Lisa Freese advised that St. John's Lutheran
Church has petitioned the City to rezone the church's parsonage
from Single Family to Public since the church has proposed to
convert the pastor's residence into a parish house to be used for
activities such as Sunday school classes, small group meetings,
counseling, adult education and other church activities.
Planning Director Freese advised the Planning Commission reviewed
this rezoning request at its August 13, 1991 regular meeting and
recommended denial of the petition.
Doug Johnson, president of St. John's Lutheran Church, requested
the City Council to continue discussion on the church's rezoning
petition for 60 days. Mr. Johnson advised the church's council
wants to present the proposal of converting the parsonage to the
church membership before action is taken by the City Council on
the petition to rezone. Mr. Johnson informed Council that in the
event the City Council would consider the rezoning petition in
the future, he preferred that new notices be mailed and
published; and the church would pay for the publication costs and
mailing costs for the public hearing notice.
Leland Knutson, 3310 144th Street West, and Ross Ryan, 3320
144th Street West, presented their reasons for objecting to the
rezoning petition.

ROSEMOUNT CITY PROCEEDINGS
REGULAR MEETING
AUGUST 20, 1991
Director of Planning Lisa Freese presented for Council
consideration Rosemount Hills Fourth Addition Final Plat which
consists of a 15.85 -acre parcel into three lots with a gross
density of 4.42 acres after removing the highway easement. Freese
advised that subject to certain conditions, the County Plat
Commission approved a requested variance from the City that two
lots have separate accesses to County Road 38. The Planning
Commission recommended approval of the final plat subject to
conditions; one of which required a cash contribution from the
developer in lieu of an assessment for County Road 38 construction
project. See Clerk's File 1991 -26.
Developer Ed Dunn objected to being charged for the additional
assessment stating he felt this matter was closed and there is no
additional benefit to the property since the project was completed
prior to the division of the property. Council discussed the
developer's objection and agreed he should be charged for the
additional unit. Mr. Dunn was informed that in the past the City
has refunded assessment charges for the County Road 38 project
because the land was subsequently subdivided into fewer lots than
the number of units the City assessed the property owner for.
MOTION by Klassen to adopt A RESOLUTION APPROVING ROSEMOUNT HILLS
FOURTH ADDITION FINAL PLAT subject to conditions. SECOND by
Wippermann. Ayes: Wippermann, Napper, Oxborough, Klassen,
Willcox. Nays: 0.
Council discussed the special project staffing proposal for
several special projects currently coming to review and permitting
status by the City. Administrator Stephan Jilk recommended hiring
the firm of Resource Strategies Corporation to assist city staff
on the USPCI, Dakota County Waste to Energy facility and Koch
Refining Bauxite projects. Jilk noted these firms have
previously indicated the costs for consulting services would be
reimbursed to the City and provided Council with a copy of a
resolution adopted by the Dakota County Board of Commissioner
confirming the County's commitment to reimburse the City for the
waste -to- energy facility. See Clerk's File 1991 -26.
A question was raised from the Council as to why the City
shouldn't advertise request for proposals for these services on
these projects. City Administrator Jilk felt Consultant Dean
Johnson's experience with the City and with the resource recovery
project would be the most cost efficient and time efficient for
the City. A recommendation was made that the City Administrator
consider request for proposals for larger projects.
MOTION by Klassen to approve the use of Resource Strategies
Corporation for planning support to city staff for the USPCI,
Dakota County WTE and Koch Refining Bauxite projects. SECOND by

Police Chief Elliel Knutsen informed Council of Independent
School District 196 Board approving a parking fee of $25 per
trimester for students to park in the Rosemount High School
student parking lot. Chief Knutsen expressed concerns this
action would cause an increase of students parking on 143rd
Street, Upper 143rd Street and 144th Street on the east and west
sides of Chili Avenue. Chief Knutsen reported on the results of
a letter sent to homeowners in the area. Their responses
indicated the majority of homeowners were in support of
restricting parking on these streets between the hours of 10:00
A.M. and 1:00 p.m. subject to receiving a permit for their use
during the restricted hours. Public Works Director Ron Wasmund
advised the estimated cost of $2,500 for signs and permits would
cause an overage of the amount budgeted for signs. Following
discussion, Council reached a consensus the parking situation
should be monitored before going forward with restricted parking.
Council further agreed the school district should be asked to
participate in the costs for installing the signs and the
printing of the parking permits if needed. See Clerk's File
1991 -26.
MOTION by Willcox to monitor the situation and in the interim
approach the school district to see if it is willing to pay for
the costs if necessary. SECOND by Oxborough. Ayes: Klassen,

Director of Planning Lisa Freese presented for Council
consideration an Addendum to the Rosemount Woods Mobile Home
Court Planned Unit Development. Freese advised this addendum
would change existing 10' rear yard set back to a 5' rear yard
set back when an 16' by 80' manufactured home is installed in the
park. Freese noted the proposed addendum would restrict the
placement of 16' by 80' homes on adjoining back to back lots if
installed. The Planning Commission recommended approval at its
August 13, 1991 regular meeting. Freese advised the Zoning
Ordinance does not require written notice to the mobile park
residents, but Councilmember Wippermann advised he would vote
against approving the addendum since the residents were not
contacted. See Clerk's File 1991 -26.

Pursuant to due call and notice thereof a special meeting of the
City Council of the City of Rosemount was duly held on Tuesday,
August 27, 1991, at 6:30 p.m. in the Council Chambers at City
Hall.
Mayor Napper called the meeting to order with Councilmembers
Willcox, Wippermann, Oxborough and Klassen present. Also present
were Planning Commissioners Cathy Busho, John Edwards, Sheila
Hathaway, Al Meyer; Utilities Commissioners Tom Werner and Shawn
Mulhern; Parks and Recreation Committee Member Jerry Puciaty;
Staff members David Bechtold, Lisa Freese, Ron Wasmund, Steve
Jilk, Cindy Carlson; Consultant Fred Hoisington and Consultant
Dean Johnson; and City Attorney Eric Short.
Mayor Napper advised the purpose of the joint meeting with City
Council, Planning Commission, Utilities Commission, Parks
Recreation Committee and Economic Development Authority was to
discuss policy formulation for the Comprehensive Guide Plan
update.
The first item of discussion was the rural residential
development goals and more specifically the areas north of 145th
Street and West of Highway 3. There was a consensus that city
staff will meet with owners of undeveloped property in that area
to discuss alternative methods of development and that a
committee with representatives of the City Council, Planning
Commission and city staff would work up ideas for alternatives to
development in this area.
The next item for discussion was the need for potentially
realigning Highway 3 east of its present location because of
increased traffic and to save the downtown. Concerns were raised
as to why such a realignment should occur. A consensus was
reached that planning should take place so that if the need does
occur, the City is prepared.
Commercial development was discussed and more specifically what
should be allowed to occur and where in relation to the existing
downtown. Consultant Fred Hoisington stressed the need to allow
development outside of the present downtown; that is, on County
Road 42 east or west of Highway 3, only if it is contiguous
development. Fred Hoisington also stressed that the City needs
to control this growth; and the Comprehensive Guide Plan, as
presented, allows that.
By unanimous consent a 20 minute recess was taken at 8:25 p.m.
Waste management districts were discussed and more specifically
as to whether two districts should be allowed one in Pine Bend
and one on University of Minnesota property. Consensus was
reached that two are acceptable, but the one on the University of
Minnesota property should be more minimized to consider initially
the Dakota County Waste -to- Energy Plant and then to expand as the
City considers individual projects.
Industrial development on the east side of Rosemount was
discussed and more specifically the amount of land needed and the
extension of utilities to these areas.
Discussion was held on the next meeting date.
MOTION by Napper to call for a special Council Meeting on
Tuesday, September 10, 1991, at 6:30 p.m. to continue discussion
on these policy issues. SECOND by Klassen. Ayes: Willcox,
Wippermann, Napper, Oxborough, Klassen. Nays: 0.
MOTION by Napper to adjourn. SECOND by Willcox. Ayes: 5.

from this parcel. Freese reviewed the survey for the lot division
which included a 60 foot easement for access off of County Road 38

Director of Planning Lisa Freese advised the City Council an
acceptable agreement on financial arrangements has been reached
with Koch officials and city staff members with regards to the Koch
Refining proposed spent bauxite facility. Freese noted the City
Council had tabled action at the July 16, 1991 public hearing to
allow city staff to meet with Koch officials to discuss the Interim
Use Permit requirements, reimbursement of staff costs for permit
review and the annual permit /host community fees. Council
discussed the request from Koch Refining to consider using any
excess funds from annual fees, over and above administrative costs,
to fund programs for the Rosemount school district. Council felt
this issue should be addressed in greater detail when the interim
use agreement is reviewed. Councilmember Klassen expressed
concerns the text amendment would allow Koch Refining to dispose
of the spent bauxite in an area not being considered as a waste

Director of Planning Lisa Freese presented information on the appeal
received from Paul Walsh, who wanted to locate his business, Pro
Tune, at 14785 South Robert Trail. The Planning Commission at its
September 10, 1991 Regular Meeting determined that Pro -Tune is not
a continuation of an existing non conforming use and that it did not
meet the intent of Section 13 of the Zoning Ordinance on non-
conforming uses.
In response to concerns about adverse effects to the residential
neighborhood, Paul Walsh advised his business is retail oriented and
would not be open for repairs after 5:00 p.m. Mr. Walsh further
stated there would be no outside storage except for a few trailers.
City Attorney Eric Short advised Council he felt the business would
be a legal non conforming use if it expanded into motorcycle and
2

snowmobile sales; but the business would be prohibited from
expanding the building to accommodate additional paint booths.
There was a general consensus by the Council that additional
information had been received by Council subsequent to the Planning
Commission's decision on September 10, 1991. Councilmember Klassen
wanted to know whether or not Council's overturning the Planning
Commission's decision would set a precedent regarding other non-
conforming uses. City Attorney Eric Short advised that each non-
conforming use is considered on its own merits. See Clerk's File
1991 -31.

process. Councilmember Klassen advised a great deal of
discussion centered on the land- banking issue and local
governments' concerns of losing their authority on development
regulations. Klassen reported that from this discussion the
land banking issue evolved into redefining "land- banking as a
"site protection" issue.
Discussion was held by Council with regards to setting a public
hearing to consider a rezoning petition from Dave McKinley, owner
of Master Transmission, 14805 South Robert Trail. Councilmember
Klassen felt a continuing pattern of requests for allowing auto
service related businesses in this area of the downtown was
evolving. Councilmember Klassen recommended postponing the
public hearing until it could be determined why the City Council,
when revising the City Zoning Ordinance in 1989, agreed to
prohibit auto service businesses in a C -2 zoning district.
Following discussion, Council agreed to have staff review the
tape recordings of the Council meetings when this section of the
Zoning Ordinance was discussed and report their findings to

use review process for the proposed Dakota County Resource
Recovery Facility (RFP). Freese recommended the Zoning Ordinance
be amended to permit publicly owned municipal waste incineration
facilities in the Public /Institution zoning district. Freese
reviewed staff's rationale for recommending this process. This
process was acceptable to the Metropolitan Council, who reviews
all rezoning or land use changes within the airport search area,
but the Metropolitan Council felt the City should clarify its
Comprehensive Guide Plan. Director of Planning Freese and
Consultant Dean Johnson answered questions from Council regarding
the process if the Resource Recovery Facility was located in an
area designated as a Waste Management District in the
Comprehensive Guide Plan or if the City Council failed to take
action on redesignating or rezoning the land. See Clerk's File

Discussion was held on the property appraisal of the Sunrise
Builders property located at 14000 South Robert Trail. City
Administrator Stephan Jilk advised the appraised value was set at
$316,000. Administrator Jilk recommended that the City inform Mr.

expressed concerns about the city's inability to acquire the
property. Administrator Jilk further recommended that the

Planning Commission's decision to deny his variance petition
request. Freese advised Mr. Miller requested a 4.5 foot side
yard setback variance in order to allow him to keep a deck that
he constructed earlier in the year. Mr. Miller presented a
petition from his neighbors who asked that the variance be
granted. Mr. Miller advised there are other houses in his
neighborhood where decks are within the 10 foot setback and
questioned Council on why he was being singled out. Discussion
ensued by Council on the several homes built in the area where
sideyard setbacks would not allow homeowners to build adequately
sized decks off of patio doors. A general consensus was reached
by the Council that staff should do an inventory on the number of
homes in Ron Miller's neighborhood that have nonconforming decks.

22, 1991 Regular Meeting, recommended approval of the amendment.
However, due to delay in PCA permit issuance, staff is requesting
Council authorization only to forward the proposed amendment to
Metropolitan Council to begin their review process. City Council
approval of the text amendment would be requested after PCA
approval and issuance of the permit. Depending upon how quickly
things may happen should the permit be approved, the City will have
already initiated the text amendment review and would be in a
position for regulatory control of the incinerator activities.

Director of Planning Lisa Freese advised that Planning staff has
established a task force working group with the City of Inver Grove
Heights, Dakota County and the Minnesota Department of
Transportation (MnDOT) staff for a cooperative study in assessing
and analyzing transportation issues in the STH 52 corridor within
Rosemount and Inver Grove Heights. The overall goal is to develop
a plan that will specifically address the hierarchy of roads
necessary to support continued industrial development in eastern
Rosemount and to integrate this plan into the update of the City's
Comprehensive Guide Plan.
See Clerk's File 1991 -38.
MnDOT has requested the engineering firm of Short- Elliot-
Hendrickson, Inc. (SEH) to submit a proposal for a STH 52 corridor
study which would identify the roadway's appropriate future
functional classification and develop alternatives for
accommodating the corridor's projected traffic flows. It is
anticipated that MnDOT will be contributing a major portion of the
funding for this study; however, the other work group participants,
including the City of Rosemount, have been asked to contribute to
the study. City staff is currently discussing with the other
participants the appropriate level of contribution for each. No
formal action is required on the study at this time.

Economic Development Specialist Tracie Pechonick presented for
Council consideration the Agreement for Recycling Services between
the City and Knutson Services, Inc. Pechonick commented on the
large decrease in funding from Dakota County for 1992 recycling
and on the City not being able to budget appropriately for 1992
recycling services since the City was not notified by the County
of the funding decrease until September, 1991. Pechonick advised
the proposed agreement calls for a two year contract for recycling
services with payment for 1992 services being deferred until 1993.

The variance petition appeal by Ron Miller, 4050 152nd Court
West was the next item of discussion. Upon the request of Council
at their October 1, 1991 Council Meeting, Director of Planning
Lisa Freese reported on the inventory of illegal decks and the
potential number of deck variance requests that could result in
Mr. Miller's neighborhood. Freese noted only one other deck was
found in violation of the setback requirements, and one homeowner
would have difficulty designing an adequate deck in order to
utilize the existing patio door. Freese also noted Mr. Miller's
original deck was considered legal nonconforming when the side
yard setback was changed from five to ten feet. See Clerk's File
1991 -38.
Ron Miller felt the City's ten foot setback requirement was
excessive in comparison to Eagan and Apple Valley's ordinances.
Since Mr. Miller's house was located farther back on his lot, he
felt Council should take into consideration that his deck is not
directly facing his neighbor's house.
Council reviewed the criteria for granting variances with members
of the Council offering different points of view as to whether or
not Mr. Miller's appeal met the criteria for granting him a
variance.
MOTION by Wippermann to uphold the Planning Commission's decision
to deny the variance petition of Mr. Ron Miller because the
request does not meet the required findings of Section 15.2 of the
