Mayor McMenomy called the meeting to order with Councilmembers
Willcox, Wippermann, Staats and Klassen present. Staff present
were: Bechtold, Freese, Jilk, Osmundson and Wasmund. Also in
attendance was City Attorney Mike Miles.
Mayor McMenomy welcomed the audience and led the group in the

as requested by the petitioner; adding 3.c. Refund of Workers
Compensation Insurance Premium; 8.b. Recognize the Public
Employees Week; and 8.c. Thanks To All Involved With Fire

Ed Dunn, Chairperson for the Port Authority presented a summary
of activities in his Annual Report to the City Council. Dunn
noted that the first year has been a learning experience and the
Port Authority's members appreciate the cooperation shown by city
staff. John Miller, Economic Development Coordinator, has been
very effective. The Budget is in good shape although some
expenses have been higher than expected for legal services and
property acquisition. Dunn reviewed several specific projects.
Consideration is being given to a Senior Housing project, a
Business Park, and a motel.
Councilmember Willcox requested a copy of the April 1 Tax
Increment Certification to the State of Minnesota for the Port
Authority. Staff will provide this to Council.
Councilmember Klassen represented S.O.A.R. in Kevin Carroll's
absence. Mr. Carroll wrote a memo which Klassen presented to
Council, outlining a resolution which indicated a three to five
miles airport development area. This could restrict implementing
zoning, building and subdivision regulations for a significant
portion of Rosemount. The Airport Development Act, now in the
legislature, would require the City of Rosemount to go to
Metropolitan Council for every permit, etc. in this restricted
area. Final site location selection will be on January 17, 1994
and 120 days after this, May 17, 1994 the Metropolitan Council
must adopt criteria and guidelines for the regulation of use and
development of the "airport development area."
Craig Morris is Rosemount's contact person for Metropolitan
Council. Dakota County has a resolution maintaining that the
conditions of this "airport development area" should not occur
until after the Minnesota Legislature decides as part of the Dual
Track Airport Planning Process whether to rebuild MSP Airport or
relocate to a new major replacement airport. Council directed
city staff to prepare a similar resolution for the City of
Rosemount.

City Engineer /Assistant Public Works Director Bud Osmundson
reviewed the need for the storm water holding pond project known
as Valley Oak Pond Outlet, Project 197. This was originally
scheduled to be constructed in 1990 but has been delayed because
of difficulties obtaining easements for Pond Number 4. The
project is now scheduled to proceed in two phases with Pond 1
done and Pond 2 and 3 in progress; and Pond 4 in the near future.
Proceeding with Phase I now allows the City to preserve the
commitment for monetary contribution from Ducks Unlimited and
run -off storage which is critically needed in the area. A
residents informational meeting will be held May 12th at 6:30
p.m. Council concurred with the procedure.
City Engineer Osmundson reviewed the negotiations with Minnesota
Department of Transportation for Highway 3 Improvement Project
239. Additional lanes of traffic would be added due to no parking
in the business area. The no parking would be on the east side
of Highway 3 between County Road 42 and Connemara Trail and on
the west side of Highway 3 between County Road 42 and the
entrance of the south parking lot of St. Joseph's Catholic Church
and from 143rd Street to Connemara Trail. There will be a one

City Administrator Jilk commented on the Selection Committee and
process used for selecting a Community Center Manager. There
were 119 applications received, 16 finalists reviewed, and 5
selected for interviews. The candidate selected is James
Topitzhofer. He currently manages the community center for the
City of Shoreview which is a 112,000 square foot facility which
opened in 1992. Topitzhofer brings experience, education and
successful work references. The Committee recommends hiring
James Topitzhofer.
Discussion ensued in regard to the 1993 wage scale increase or
cost of living increase for the Community Center Manager
position. Discussion was held that the additional estimated $410
may not be necessary to add to this beginning position's salary.
Steve Hawkins, a member of Rosemount Area Hockey Association,
voiced his concern that Mr. Topitzhofer did not have the ice
arena experience required. Another finalist that the Selection
Committee considered, Mr. Doig had considerable experience with
ice maintenance and scheduling ice time. Hawkins requested Mr.
Doig also be considered by Council for hiring as the Community
Center Manager.
MOTION by Wippermann to approve the hiring of James Topitzhofer
as the Community Center Manager at the starting salary of $41,448
plus other benefits available to department heads contingent upon

REGULAR MEETING
MAY 4, 1993
Jilk supported having John Miller, Economic Development
Coordinator, extend his position to include Business Relations
Coordinator. Representatives of the Port Authority, McMenomy and
Wippermann, would not support this noting that it would require
too much time which is needed to cover Port Authority issues.
Willcox noted that customer services for all residents need to be
addressed not just for city businesses. Staats said this problem
seemed to be leading to hiring more city staff and requested that
the Chambers and city staff tone down this issue and run with
what we have for now. Consensus was to have further discussion.
A Special Election was held today in Rosemount asking residents
to authorize issuance of General Obligation Bonds in the
principal amount not to exceed $3,400,000 to provide for the
acquisition and construction of a new Fire Station and the
purchase of a new aerial platform fire truck. The results of the
canvass of this Special Election was 269 yes votes and 1008 no
votes. The referendum failed with a 22% turnout of registered
voters.
MOTION by Willcox to adopt A RESOLUTION DECLARING THE RESULTS OF
A SPECIAL ELECTION HELD ON MAY 4, 1993 AS THEY APPEAR ON THE

Mayor McMenomy resumed the regular meeting at 10:15 p.m.
Director Freese was notified by Dakota County that a name change
for Bacardi Avenue was being considered because of the continual
theft of this street sign. It is required to start with a "B" so
the name suggested is Bald Eagle Avenue. The Apple Valley High
School mascot is the "Eagle" and therefor staff feels this name
may also be prone to theft. The Planning Commission suggested a
spelling change to Bakardy Avenue. A letter would be sent to
Dakota County and will then be considered at the May 25, 1993
Dakota County Board Physical Development Committee.
MOTION by Klassen to direct staff to prepare a letter supporting
the Planning Commission response regarding the Bacardi Avenue
name change proposal. Second by Staats. Ayes: Wippermann,
McMenomy, Staats, Klassen, Willcox. Nays: None.
David Bechtold, Parks and Recreation Director, reported that
Dakota Electric was working with Parks Department staff to design
a plan, make a construction time table and a installation cost
estimate for lighting in Jaycee Park. The lighting will have
directional lighting for less exposure for neighboring residents.
MOTION by Wippermann to accept the concept plan for trail and
parking lot lighting in Jaycee Park and to authorize Dakota
Electric to complete the installation of the lighting at a cost
not to exceed $18,105.00 with funds to come from account 202-
24435. Second by Klassen. Ayes: McMenomy, Staats, Klassen,
Willcox, Wippermann. Nays: None.
City Attorney Mike Miles reviewed the first draft of the Code of
Ethics. Council requested more definite terms for determining
dollar amount value for contributions and requested it include
both elected and appointed officials or commissioners and city
employees. Attorney Miles will revise the Code for the next City
Council meeting.
Mayor McMenomy made a proclamation for the National Public Works

Public Works Director Ron Wasmund reviewed background information
on the 60 feet by 467 feet strip road easement to be vacated back
to the Methodist Church. There are 3 lots that abut this
easement with only one requiring a driveway easement. The
Methodist Church is in agreement with this. This vacation would
allow the church to proceed with their plans for parking lot
improvements.
ROSEMOUNT CITY PROCEEDINGS
REGULAR MEETING
MAY 18, 1993
Ray and Josephine Stanton, Camero Lane, commented that the legal
description did not give a common name description so residence
did not know what it was about. Residence have used parking
along the back of their lots and felt an easement for the other
two lots would be justified. They noted that foot traffic
through their yard, Lot 6, to the church and Camfield Park might
be interupted by this project.
The powerline behind these lots has a 10 foot easement now. The
City would not be able to justify use of this land strip to serve
the general public.
Don Sinnwell, 3691 147th Street West, is on the Board of Trustees
for the United Methodist Church. The Church maintains it's
request to improve the parking lot which will be designed for
light weight traffic, cars only. The southern corner will be
improved for additional parking. This is a high priority for the
church to proceed as soon as possible.
Wes Hasbrouk, 14685 Dahomey Avenue, said twenty years ago this
easement held up getting a mortagage for an addition on the
church because of all the red tape. It will be much easier for
the church and the city is the land is vacated. The neighbors
are welcome to continue to use the area for occassional parking
or occassional access to the back of their lots.
MOTION by Willcox to close the Public Hearing for vacation of
right -of -way easement for the United Methodist Chruch. Second by
McMenomy. Ayes: Willcox, McMenomy, Staats, Klassen. Nays:
None.
MOTION by Willcox to table action on the vacation of right -of-
way until further negotiation for easement, similar to Mr.
Ratzlaff's, for property owners for lots 4 and 5 in Marian
Terrace Replat 2nd Addition. Second by McMenomy. Ayes:
McMenomy, Staats, Klassen, Willcox.
Attorney Mike Miles noted that the easement only affects Lots 3,
4 and 5.
Direction was given to city staff to contact owners of Lots 4 and
5 to consider an additional easement for them with a written
response to City Council.
Mayor McMenomy opened the Public Hearing for a Zoning Ordinance
Text Amendment regarding Agricultural Preserve Act and on site
septic regulations. The recording secretary advised the Mayor
that the Affidavits of Notice and Publication were on file.
Planning Director Lisa Freese noted that Metropolitan Council has
requested that all cities verify that their ordinances are in
conformance with the Metropolitan Agricultural Preserve Act.
This requires a change from our current 2.5 acres per unit to 40
acres per unit in the Agriculture Preserves district. Section
14.6, On -Site Sewer Requirements also needed an addition to

Planning Director Lisa Freese reviewed RCD Real Estate
Partnership's request for city approval to subdivide a 40 acre
parcel and to rezone a 10 acre portion from Agricultural to
General Industrial. This would be for the development of a
Mesquito Control Maintenance Facility. The Planning Commission
has approved the request. The resolution is conditional on these
four items: 1) provision of a 55 foot right -of -way; 2)
connection to sanitary sewer when it becomes available; 3) only
one access to parcel A to 160th Street; and 4) park dedication
fee of $1,040.
Doug Dehmlow, 15725 Biscayne Avenue, will be located close to
this maintenance facility. Mr. Dehmlow said that the road is
already dusty and in need of maintenance. He requested that the
City if allowing further development would also provide
additional maintenance of the roads near by. City staff had told
him there were no funds available for watering the roads with
chemicals.
Director Freese commented that in 1994 the county will be paving
160th Street which will be County Road 46. Director Wasmund
noted that there are funds budgeted to spray the all dirt roads
twice this year in conjunction with the county. There are 18
miles of gravel roads that need maintenance and this does keep
one city employee busy full time. Roads such as Dodd Boulevard
where it is gravel is much more populated so higher traffic
causes more maintenance needs. Once 160th Street is improved the
traffic level on Biscayne should be lower.
Councilmember Willcox asked staff to check into State Aid being
used on 7 ton road restrictions.

ROSEMOUNT CITY PROCEEDINGS
SPECIAL MEETING
MAY 25, 1993
call and notice thereof a Special Meeting of the
the City of Rosemount was duly held on Tuesday,
7:00 p.m. in the Council Chambers at Rosemount
145th Street West.
Mayor McMenomy called the meeting to order with Councilmembers
Willcox, Wippermann, McMenomy, and Klassen present.
Councilmember Staats was ill. Also present were Planning
Commissioners: Ingram, Gundacker, McDermott, Busho, Baago; Port
Authority Commissioners Anderson, Carroll, Dunn,
Edwards,McMenomy, Sinnwell, and Wippermann; and City
Administrator Jilk, City Engineer Osmundson, Economic Development
Coordinator John Miller, Planning Director Lisa Freese, Assistant
Planner Rick Pearson and City Attorney Miles.
Speakers representing Metropolitan Council were Steve Schwanke,
Principal Reviewer, and Criag Morris, Representative of District
16; and Don Bluhm, Manager of Metro Waste Control Commission.
Mayor McMenomy led the group in the Pledge of Allegiance.
Mayor McMenomy explained to those present that the purpose of the
meeting was to discuss the status of the City's Comprehensive
Guide Plan review with the Metropolitan Council.
Planning Director Lisa Freese introduced Craig Morris, District
16 Representative for Metropolitan Council. The Redistricting
Plan will cause Mr. Morris to be representative for District 15
and so Rosemount will have a new representative shortly.
Metropolitan Council is under review to find a better growth
control process. Right now the MUSA management is trying to
consider ways to slow growth. The costs for MUSA will be borne
most likely by those causing growth. They are rethinking growth
strategies; Morris would like to keep politics out of the
process and find a short term solution to lessen the stress for
developing cities and encourage core city redevelopment.
The airport site selection will have an impact on development for
Rosemount. Morris indicated he is prepared to defend the idea of
a reliever airport such as Flying Cloud or Rochester rather than
a new airport being constructed. Morris commended city staff for
their involvement in the airport siting.
Morris mentioned that the fees required now are not covering
costs for sewer and if an airport is sited near Rosemount the
investment would be immense. Councilmember Klassen mentioned
other means of recovering costs, i.e. Impact Fees,
Transportation Impact Fees, SAC fees.
Don Bluhm noted that impact fees have to be defined by the
Legislature before they can become legal. The Rosemount Waste
Water Treatment Plant was overloaded, improvements were made and
after the pond "turned over" this spring they were able to expand
capacity to 120,000 gallons. The Empire Plant receives some
diverted flow and through 1998 Rosemount should have enough
capacity.
Steve Schwanke noted that moving the boundaries in the Rosemount
MUSA to decrease the need would probably be acceptable for
qualifying for approval of the Interim Comprehensive Guide Plan.
This does not cover through to the year 2000 however, so the
Interim Strategy for Rosemount's Comprehensive Guide Plan Update
2000 would apply until it can be determined chat the MUSA Map
2000 can be approved. In August a Waste Water Treatment Plant
study will be completed. From this study an improvement plan
design for the Waste Water Treatment Plant will be submitted for
approval in January 1994. Once this can be determined the MUSA
Map 2000 can be addressed.
Councilmember Willcox and staff requested that this "Interim
Plan" of the Comprehensive Guide Plan be approved as just that,
an "interim" plan and that the Update 2000 plan could be
submitted later with larger boundaries for consideration on the
MUSA Map.
The timeline for the Interim review should be two weeks from the
June 1, MWCC Report, then two to three weeks for Metropolitan
Council's consideration, and then meeting the public hearing
requirement.
MOTION by McMenomy to authorize staff by means of a letter to
Metropolitan Council to append the Comprehensive Guide Plan
Update 2000 to read Interim Comprehensive Guide Plan. Second by

REGULAR MEETING
JUNE 1, 1993
Pursuant to due call and notice thereof a Regular Meeting of the
City Council of the City of Rosemount was duly held on Tuesday,
June 1, 1993 at 7:30 p.m. at the Rosemount City Hall in the
Council Chambers.
Mayor McMenomy called the meeting to order with Councilmembers
Klassen, Staats, Willcox, and Wippermann present. Staff present

Pledge of Allegiance.
Changes to the agenda included adding Item 3. d. Blandin
Retreat; Old Business 8. 1. Rosemount Plaza; and amending the
minutes of May 18, 1993.
Kevin Carroll, a representative of S.O.A.R., gave an update of
the airport siting process. Several site selections are being
considered. Right now legislators are encouraging Metropolitan
Council to move up the final decision timeline so communities are
not held back on their development. June llth will be a critical
meeting with the Governors Task Force where a schedule to move up
the siting selection by one year is considered. City staff will
be attending. An alliance with the Bloomington Chambers of
Commerce and S.O.A.R. is forming.

he received from the state chapter of the American Legion for his

barn was engulfed in flames. City Council commended Officer
Sommers for his fine work.
Ron Wasmund, Public Works Director reviewed the Northern States
Power (NSP) program to use higher efficiency fluorescent tubes
which draw less current. A study was done by Master Electric

Containment Facilities. The recording secretary advised the
Mayor that the Affidavits of Notice and Publication were on file.
Planning Director Lisa Freese reviewed the petition by U.S.P.C.I.
to the City to amend the zoning ordinance in order to permit the
disposal of coal ash at the Minnesota Industrial Containment
Facility. The ordinance does not allow the disposal of ash from
incinerators, resource recovery facilities and power plants.
U.S.P.C.I. is requesting that the definition be changed to allow
the acceptance of 100% coal ash at the facility.
Mr. Tom Radue of Barr Engineering reviewed the ash material and
noted that it is a stable material. Radue said that dust control
would be necessary by using tarps over trucks when transporting
and some site dust controls.
Bill Lauer, Dakota County Lead Inspector noted that random
testing would be conducted in order to verify that the coal ash
is not contaminated and U.S.P.C.I. is required to keep daily
testing files which would be reviewed by Mr. Lauer.
Don Chapdelaine, Mike Scraton, and Rex Kraft from U.S.P.C.I. said
their company's projections for waste tonnage were too high and
the coal ash would allow more clients and increase the tonnage
amount. Coal ash is very environmentally manageable and
U.S.P.C.I. has no objection to the wording of the amended zoning
ordinance. Profits have not been realized and the main company
is subsidizing the plant in a large way. Three full time workers
have been laid off.
Councilmember Klassen reminded all that the former Council had
very carefully worded the original permit so that it excluded any
ash. The perception at that time with dealing with Dakota County
Incinerator, University of Minnesota Rosemount requesting a coal
ash cell, and Minnesota Solid Waste incinerator ash, gave Council
the message to stay clear of coal ash. Also, the original permit
was for five years, now after six months an amendment is already
requested.
Frank Hornstein, Clear Water Action, voiced his concerns with the
additives mixed with coal ash, i.e. spent oxide bauxite, mercury
and garbage. Controls, storage and transportation can then
become risks.
Don Chapdelaine said U.S.P.C.I. is a good neighbor and hopes that
the public's perception of it is good. The technology for these
holding cells is excellent and environmentally controllable. The
Host Community Fees will benefit Rosemount in the future and
U.S.P.C.I. requests the amendment so that this facility can be
successful.
MOTION by McMenomy to close the Public Hearing on the zoning text
amendment for Coal Ash Disposal in Nonhazardous Industrial Waste
Containment Facilities. Second by Wippermann. Ayes: Klassen,
Willcox, Wippermann, McMenomy, Staats. Nays: None.

Both Willcox and Klassen did not recommend approval. Klassen
said if coal ash is safe why not fill regular landfills with it
rather than a facility made for items not accepted at most
landfills.

Bud Osmundson, City Engineer reviewed the White Lake Acres,
Project 241, showing street repair and a two inch overlay.
Payment for this will come from the street fund. No assessments
are called for.
MOTION by Wippermann to adopt A RESOLUTION RECEIVING PLANS AND
SPECIFICATIONS /AUTHORIZING AD FOR BID, WHITE LAKE ACRES, 126TH

McMenomy. Nays: None.
Bud Osmundson, City Engineer, reported that verbal agreements
have been made with land owners other than Carrolls. There is
disagreement on the appraised value due to the perceived multi
zoning of the property. Delay of the project will congest
through traffic to the high school in September.
MOTION by McMenomy to adopt A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF
ROSEMOUNT DIRECTING CONDEMNATION OF LAND NEEDED FOR REALIGNMENT
OF CHILE AVENUE, A PUBLIC STREET IN ROSEMOUNT, MINNESOTA for City
Project 235. Second by Klassen. Ayes: Klassen, Wippermann,
McMenomy, Staats. Nays: Willcox.
Chuck Rickert, P.E. of Orr, Schlelen, Mayeron Associates, OSM
Engineering presented the Western Rosemount Transportation Study.
This is a thorough study of traffic patterns, traffic counts and
projected needs of the city. This will assist the City in
guiding future transportation planning. The recommendations
resulting from this study are that Connemara Trail should be
built as soon as possible from Shannon Parkway to Trunk Highway
3. In addition, OSM is recommending that we request the
reconstruction of County Road 38 from Trunk Highway 3 to Bacardi
in 1998 as part of the Dakota County Capital Improvement Program.
This will be brought back to Council at the July 6, 1993 meeting.

Pursuant to due call and notice thereof a Regular Meeting of the
City Council of the City of Rosemount was duly held on Tuesday,

Klassen, Staats, Willcox, and Wippermann present. Staff present
were Jilk, May, Wasmund, and Osmundson. Also in attendance was
City Attorney Miles.
Mayor McMenomy led the group in the Pledge of Allegiance.
Changes to the agenda included adding 3. b) Markos Schourliaris'
Water Bill, and 6. h) Armory /Community Center Pay Request.
Diane Pinkert, a member of the Chamber of Commerce Government
Action Committee, was present to update the City Council on their
activities. Ms. Pinkert advised that the committee would like to
have city staff persons attend their meetings. She explained the
purpose of this would be for the committee members to meet city
staff, find out what they do and ask questions. The committee
feels that this would be a way to open up communication between
the business community and city staff. Ms. Pinkert also advised
that members of the chamber will staff a booth at the Renaissance
Fair this year and the proceeds from the sales will be donated to
the Town Green project and also used to purchase banners. She
also requested that an update on the one -stop shop concept be
provided.
Roger Schanus, of Boeckermann, Heinen, Mayer, reviewed key
pages of the City of Rosemount's 1992 audited financial
statements. Discussion centered around whether a list was being
prepared of the city's assets.
Markos Schourliaris was allowed to speak regarding his water
bill. Mr. Schourliaris felt that his past bill was unreasonably
high due to meter problems and felt that he should receive a
credit. He was also concerned that he was continuing to receive
late penalties while trying to resolve the problem. Public Works
Director Wasmund advised that he would gather information
regarding water meter readings and meter calibration tests and
present it to the council July 6, 1993.

City Engineer Osmundson advised council that MnDot had recently
completed the city ordered speed study for Dodd Road between
120th Street and Highway 3. It was determined that a safe and
reasonable speed limit for Dodd Road would be 40 m.p.h., as
opposed to the current 55 m.p.h. Council questioned whether the
tonnage limits on Dodd Road could be lowered and Osmundson
advised that it could not because of its State Aid Road

designation. Council also requested that a letter be sent to
residents along Dodd Road informing them of the results of the
study. Osmundson explained that the letter would also encourage
residents to meet and discuss future improvements to the road and
express their wishes to the city.
MOTION by Wippermann to adopt A RESOLUTION ESTABLISHING SPEED

needed to complete the 145th Street construction project was
provided to the council. City Engineer Osmundson advised that s.,..o
the plans for City Project #235 were presently at the State Aid
office and should be ready for bid on June 25.
City Administrator Jilk advised that the Highway 52 Corridor
Study is proceeding and as a result of this work, the task force
is asking MnDOT to proceed with improvements at the 117th Street
intersection of Highway 52. Improvements would include extending
the frontage road and installing signal lights. Because safety
issues at this intersection warrant immediate attention and MnDot
funding would not be available until 1995 or 1996, a Cooperative
Agreement Program is being suggested as an alternative way to
complete the project in a more timely manner. Council questioned
whether this agreement would cause the city to pick up the costs
for the improvements as opposed to the state. Jilk advised that
the state would still pick up the majority of the costs and the
city would look to Koch Refining to pay for the remaining cost.
MOTION by McMenomy to adopt A RESOLUTION AUTHORIZING THE CITY OF
ROSEMOUNT TO NEGOTIATE A COOPERATIVE AGREEMENT WITH THE MINNESOTA
DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION AND ANY OTHER APPROPRIATE AGENCIES
FOR IMPROVEMENTS TO THE INTERSECTION OF TH 52/55 AND 117TH

City Administrator Jilk reviewed the request to approve three
change orders on the Community Center. The first change order
was due to backfill materials not being available from the
Highway 3 business sites because of possible hazardous material
contamination. Fill materials had to be imported in order to

17 an informational booth with be at Hastings Days. A fund
raiser is planned for September 26, more details will be coming.
Hue Schilling has indicated he is an advocate of relocating the
airport. Several memos from him on Metropolitan Council
letterhead show this.
Planning Director Lisa Freese gave an update on the Comprehensive
Guide Plan and its review with Metropolitan Council. Steve
Schwanke has left Metropolitan Council and Tom Caswell has
replaced him as Reviewer for the Rosemount Update 2000. An
optimistic timeline would be an August 4th Draft Review, August
12th review by the Committee of Whole, and August 19th
Metropolitan Council will take action on it. The latest timeline
would be a September 22nd approval date.
Mayor McMenomy asked about the possibility of having to scale
back the Year 2000 development plans. Director Freese said that
approval with conditions could be required to scale back
industrial land in the Urban Area or change any policy or
ordinance within the Comprehensive Guide Plan.
City Administrator Jilk introduced James Topitzhofer the new
Community Center Manager. Mr. Topitzhofer has been working since
June 2 familiarizing himself with the needs and wants of the
facility and its management. He has already met with the new

ROSEMOUNT CITY PROCEEDINGS
REGULAR MEETING
JULY 6, 1993
Community Center Manager Topitzhofer reported that the
construction and organization of the facility is on schedule
despite the rain. This Thursday the Commission will tour the
construction site. Banquet fees will be set this week and
bookings will begin immediately following approval by the City
Council. Topitzhofer has met with RAHA (Rosemount Area Hockey
Association), the Rosemount High School, and Eagan Hockey
Association. These are all very excited and willing to help in
many areas. The First State Bank has purchased the score board.
Look for newspaper articles in the local papers explaining many
of the up coming plans. Topitzhofer has seen a great sense of
excitement in the community regarding the Community Center.
State Representative Dennis Ozment reported on four main issues.
First, the airport relocation process was discussed. Ozment said
it is a noise problem and always has been, there is no reason to
believe additional runway capacity is needed. Second is the
solid waste issue. Reduction and reuse have been emphasized and
recycling has been very successful. The economic impact however
will shift from the use of raw materials to reused material.
This will greatly affect big labor and large corporations which
don't want this to happen. Thirdly, is education. Tax structure
is now so that a little bit of every tax dollar goes to many many
items. Ozment would suggest a shift away from use of local
property taxes for use with the school district expense to the
use of state income taxes and sales tax. Fourth, and final item
is the Metropolitan Council. New members are being sought for
this, Terry Flauer from Nininger Township has applied and Ozment
supports him. Please let the Governor's office know who you may
support. Ozment has planned future meetings for discussion on
Tax Increment Financing, annexation, housing issues, and transit
issues.

Intoxicating Liquor License and Special Sunday Liquor License at

Kady's Bar to the new partnership of C R, Inc. The new owners
plan to rename the establishment "Last Call" and make some
remodeling changes after

JULY 6, 1993
Questions were answered by Manager Connie Cook to the
satisfaction of the City Council. Cook planned to take care of
any unsightly garbage located on the southeast side of the
building. Cook was aware of past problems with after -hour
activities and serving of liquor where license did not allow.
She said she would see that those offenses would not occur.
MOTION by Wippermann to approve an On -Sale Liquor License and
Special Sunday Liquor License to C R, Inc. effective July 7, 1993
for the west side of the building (formerly known as Kady's) and
to amend the Liquor License Applications submitted by C R, Inc.

Willcox, Wippermann, McMenomy. Nays: None.
Mr. Timothy Reis and Mrs. Stephanie Reis have made an appeal to
the City Council for the Utility Commission's decision not to
remove Julie Reis' name from the utility billing. Julie Reis was
formerly married to Timothy Reis and has part ownership of the
house at 14865 Crandall Avenue. The City Attorney Miles
commented that by removing Julie Reis' name the City will lose
the option of possible collection from her in the event there
would be an over due bill through certification with the county.
The City Policy establishes the requirement to bill directly to
property owners.
The City Council felt because the Reis's have been current on
their water bill and because of the obvious irritation it caused
the Reis family that it would be appropriate in this case with
these unique set of circumstances to change the names on the
utility billing: 1) Property ownership is being determined in
court. 2) Julie reis does not live at property in question, she
is currently living out -of- state. 3) Julie Reis has a new last
name. 4) Although homestead credit application comes in the name
of Timothy and /or Julie Reis, Timothy Reis files a "special form"
with the county to indicate only he is entitled to the homestead
credit. Council felt this gives an adequate paper trail to
proper ownership and that the city is covered since Timothy Reis'
is an owner of the property and his name appears on the water
bill.
MOTION by Willcox to remove the former Mrs. Julie Reis from the
utility billing statement and add Mrs. Stephanie Reis with Mr.
Timothy Reis's name onto the utility billing statement. Second
by Staats.
AMENDMENT TO THE MOTION by Willcox will add: "Please note that
this action is done under these unique set of facts and is only
to be done on a case by case basis. Second by Staats. Ayes:
Willcox, Wippermann, McMenomy, Staats, Klassen. Nays: None.

Klassen voiced concern that while this report at this point in
time seems feasible that it in no way is to be considered
unchangeable and that public hearings are still to be held when
implementation is considered. Bud Osmundson stated that was the
case.
MOTION by McMenomy to adopt A RESOLUTION RECEIVING WESTERN
ROSEMOUNT TRANSPORTATION STUDY. Second by Willcox. Ayes:
Staats, Klassen, Willcox, Wippermann, McMenomy. Nays: None.
City Administrator Jilk updated City Council on the status of
Dakota County assigning County Road (CR) 42 as a Principal
Arterial highway. This would cause the need for an overhead by-
pass of the railroad tracks at Highway 3 and CR 42 in the future.
Current development of property surrounding this intersection
would be restricted on the entrances unto CR 42 because of this.
These entrances would have to be 1/4 mile from the railroad
tracks possibly causing additional expense to the developer due
to the low area at this point to the east. Discussion will
continue with the developers.
Councilmember Klassen requested discussion on the Highway 3
Improvements to follow up on residents concern on the issue of a
pedestrian crossing to the Community Center. Safety is the main
concern for anyone who would be crossing Highway 3 stated
Klassen. There will be pedestrian traffic from Rosemount Woods
Mobile Park and Erickson Park on the east to the Community
Center. City Engineer Osmundson commented that there are no funds
budgeted now for a tunnel or pedestrian bridge which can cost
upwards to $200,000. The normal features for a surface crosswalk
would be used; i.e. signage, flashers, road markings. In order
to qualify for a signal light for pedestrian traffic MnDot
requires a count of 400 people crossing in four hours in one day.
The High School has addressed this issue by working with the City
to provide a paved path from the school to the Community Center
on the west side of Highway 3. Busing from the Community Center
could also provide safe passage crossing Highway 3, especially
for children.
MOTION by Klassen to adopt A RESOLUTION AUTHORIZING ADVERTISEMENT
FOR BIDS FOR THE ARMORY, TRUNK HIGHWAY 3 IMPROVEMENTS, S.P. 1921-
58, CITY PROJECT 239. Second by Staats. Ayes: Klassen,
Willcox, Wippermann, McMenomy, Staats. Nays: None.
Community Center Manager Jim Topitzhofer presented an amendment
to Ordinance No. XVI.25 pertaining to liquor regulations
establishing regulations for serving intoxicating beverages
within the Community Center. An annual license fee of $100 from
establishments that already are licensed with the State of
Minnesota for liquor would be required unless the establishment
is located in Rosemount in which case it would not be required to

pay a fee. An additional event charge of $30 would be charged to
all liquor providers.
MOTION by McMenomy to adopt Ordinance No. XVI.25, AN ORDINANCE
AMENDING TITLE 3 PERTAINING TO LIQUOR REGULATIONS. Second by
Wippermann. Ayes: Willcox, Wippermann, McMenomy, Staats,
Klassen. Nays: None.
Public Works Director Ron Wasmund reported that Mr. George Romo,
Maintenance Worker Level II in the Utility division has announced
his retirement effective August 1, 1993. George has been
employed with the city for 15 years. Wasmund expressed
appreciation for George's contributions and experience which will
be missed.
MOTION by McMenomy to accept the letter of resignation from
George Romo. Second by Willcox. Ayes: Wippermann, McMenomy,
Staats, Klassen, Willcox. Nays: None.
Planning Director Lisa Freese is going forward with the
Comprehensive Guide Plan Implementation schedule. Zoning text
amendments such as residential performance standards, density
bonuses, residential Planned Unit Developments (PUD's), will be
considered at a special workshop meeting by the Planning
Commission.
MOTION by McMenomy to set a Public Hearing on July 20, 1993 at
8:00 p.m. to consider changes to the Zoning and Subdivision
Ordinances. Second by Klassen. Ayes: McMenomy, Staats,
Klassen, Willcox, Wippermann. Nays: None.
Mayor McMenomy's Report updated City Council on the Port
Authority's decision to work with the Muller Family Theater Group
to support development of a 10 screen, 2200 seating, first run
theater in the proposed business park. Property offer's are
being negotiated for
the Roy Abbott property for the business park. Bonds may be
required. Further information will be presented at the July 20,
1993 City Council meeting.
City Administrator Jilk gave a preliminary budget report.
Further meetings need to be scheduled for developing the 1994
Budget. Discussion followed regarding the appointment of a
Budget Committee and a Finance Committee. This may help set
guidelines such as the amount of debt, tax base, and overall
financial direction. McMenomy wished to keep the community
involved. Administrator Jilk noted that this community input
could help Council realize the priorities of the community and
thereby give direction to staff to tailor the budget
appropriately. Members of Council felt that setting up such a
committee may remove Council too far from its fiscal
responsibility. Klassen added that through ad hoc citizen
committees such as the Park Master Plan Committee and through
1
citizen participation at budget meetings Council can learn of the
communities priorities.
Lucy Holzer, a Rosemount resident, said that often the
"perception" of what the City and City Council is doing with tax
dollars is a concern. Holzer requested monthly budget reports to
keep informed.
Willcox requested a "complete" budget from staff. Administrator
Jilk explained that the separate enterprise funds, i.e. Utility
Core Fund, Stormwater Fund, Community Center Fund are held
separate from the budget and will require sixty days to develop.
Jilk also reminded Council that he needed their priorities in
order to change and improve the 1994 budget from this years.
Future meeting dates of August 11 and August 25 at 6:30 p.m. were
discussed but not set.
MOTION by McMenomy to call for a Special City Council meeting for
the purposes of discussing the 1994 preliminary operating budget
on July 26, 1993 at 6:30 p.m. at City Hall. Second by Klassen.
Ayes: Staats, Klassen, Willcox, Wippermann, McMenomy. Nays:
None.
MOTION by Willcox to adjourn the meeting. Second by McMenomy.
Ayes: Klassen, Willcox, Wippermann, McMenomy, Staats. Nays:

Administrator Steve Jilk for the prompt answers to all the
questions that had been brought to Council. In connection with
the Leprechaun Days celebration and unifying the identification
of the Chamber, a banner has been presented to all the businesses

throughout the year. Also large green and pink ribbons have been
made to attach to the light poles on Highway 3 as a welcome

Rosemount" including about ten booths displaying different foods
during Leprechaun Days. The Jaycees worked on a project with the
Chamber and Miller Super Valu to send bottled water to Iowa.
Rosemount's sister city in Russia has received the large shipment

Mayor McMenomy opened the Public Hearing for Zoning /Subdivision
Text Amendments. The recording secretary advised the Mayor that
the Affidavits of Notice and Publication were on file.
Director Freese reviewed the procedural requirements and purpose
for the amendments and Assistant Planner Rick Pearson detailed
the changes to the Zoning and Subdivision Ordinance which the
Planning Commission has reviewed and recommends. Building
setbacks for principle arterial highways have been increased from
30 feet to 50 feet to insure public safety. Other utilities such
as natural gas lines and railroads would have a setback of 30
feet and require a planting strip for screening. Changes
regarding maximum density in the R -1 and R -3 districts were
recommended.
Willcox commented that for safety the pipeline setback should be
increased to 50 feet for principle structure. A home placed
close to a pipeline could be in imminent danger. Pearson noted
the findings of the Pipeline Safety Commission discussing
setbacks which were less than 50 feet.
McMenomy inquired whether or not the density changes would result
in larger lots. He expressed concern about additional
restrictions placed on developers and future homeowners.
Attorney Reid Hansen commented on behalf of CMC Real Estate
Corporation which is in the process of developing a residential
area near a railroad and requested a delay of action on this
ordinance so CMC's engineers could have time to evaluate the
impact of these changes to their design.
MOTION by Willcox to continue the Public Hearing for the

utility billing appeal. The Utility Commission has recommended
denial after thorough research and testing of the meter.
Wasmund stated he was willing to negotiate to dismiss some
penalties in the amount of $95.00 and apply a sewer credit for
the underground watering system for $142.00. The actual water
use would remain the same which is the average use for a family
of four.

regard to a new employee compensation system. The comparable
worth points will not be available until November, 1993 and

system until the points are approved by Council. Because of the
two -year labor agreements with the City's three unions, it may be
1995 before the new system is in place.

CLOSED EXECUTIVE SESSION
JULY 20, 1993
Pursuant to due call and notice thereof a closed executive
session of the City Council of the City of Rosemount was duly
held on Tuesday, July 20, 1993, at 9:05 p.m. in the Council
Lounge at Rosemount City Hall.
Mayor McMenomy called the meeting to order with Councilmembers
Klassen, Staats, and Willcox. Also present was City
Administrator Jilk and City Attorneys Kent Harbison and Rich
Ostlund.
The purpose of the meeting was to discuss the litigation on the
McDonough /Sunrise case.
The decision of the Court of Appeals was a split victory.
Stephan Jilk was dismissed from the suit; however, the City and
Mayor McMenomy remained for due process. McDonough would next
need to decide if he is interested in pursuing this to the
Supreme Court. At this point, since McDonough no longer owns the
property in question, there would not be any monitory gain. The
two points most likely to be argued are the breach of contract
and immunity issue. Since the Mayor was not sworn in at the
time, his immunity is unclear and for this reason the Supreme
Court may be interested in hearing the issue.
Consensus of the Council was to advise Attorney Ostlund to
negotiate an out of court settlement which would minimize
attorney fees.
MOTION by Willcox to authorize Attorney Ostlund to negotiate a
settlement at his discretion with McDonough and his attorney.

SPECIAL MEETING
JULY 26, 1993
Pursuant to due call and notice thereof a special meeting of the
City Council of the City of Rosemount was duly held on Monday,
July 26, 1993, at 6:30 p.m. in the Council Chambers at City Hall.
Mayor McMenomy called the meeting to order with Councilmembers
Willcox, Wippermann, Staats, and Klassen present.
Mayor McMenomy led the audience in the Pledge of Allegiance.
City Administrator Stephan Jilk presented for Council discussion
the first draft of the 1994 general fund operating budget.
Discussion by Council included the members giving their
priorities for 1994 funding and some suggestions on ways to cut
the budget. Some of the priorities mentioned were street
reconstruction, funding street reconstruction through the CIP
budget or through a transportation utility fee, fire hall and
aerial truck, funds for snow and ice removal, trails on Highway 3
for the Community Center and Erickson Park and funding for an
Erickson Park shelter.
Administrator Jilk advised that the county has indicated that 4
percent of the 11 percent increase in the city's valuation as of
April 1, 1993 is due to increased value in existing property
before new construction. This means that an increase in total
levy by 7 percent could be absorbed by additional valuation
brought on by new construction.
It was suggested from Council that the city's levy remain the
same as in 1993 or increase no more than 3 Council agreed
further discussion needed to be held on possible areas to cut.
Council agreed to hold future meetings to discuss the budget on
August 16, 1993, at 6:00 p.m. and August 30, 1993, at 6:00 p.m.
Director of Planning Lisa Freese presented a draft letter for

August 3, 1993 at 7:30 p.m. in the Council Chambers at Rosemount
City Hail.

Kevin Carroll, representing S.O.A.R., reported on the site
selection for expansion of the Twin Cities Airport. Hastings
site No. 3, which is south of the city of Hastings, was selected
by the Metropolitan Airport Selection Committee. An Alternative
Environmental Document (AED) on the impact on the environment and
a public hearing will proceed. In January Metropolitan Council
will consider adopting the AED. And then in the spring it would
go to the Minnesota Legislature. A Hog Roast fund raiser for
S.O.A.R. will be September 26 in Hastings.
Klassen commended the Dakota County representatives and their
hard work on the selection of a site. It was very difficult.
There are still many hurtles to go over before the airport would
become a reality. And there are still many people that will
continue to resist the building of a new airport.

Metropolitan Council is also examining whether or not the City is
in conformance with the agricultural and on -site system policies.
City Engineer Osmundson received five bids for City Project 239
for improvements to T.H. #3. The low bid was received from
Hardrives, Inc., Plymouth, Minnesota. Also a cooperative
agreement with the Minnesota Department of Transportation will
help fund this project.

Public Works Director Wasmund reported that the bids received for
removal of fuel tanks were much higher than anticipated. There
is not enough budgeted for this fuel tank removal or replacement
so alternatives were discussed. A phasing approach will be
considered at a later date.
MOTION by Klassen to reject the bids as received on July 23, 1993
for the removal and replacement of fuel tanks at the maintenance
facility. Second by McMenomy. Ayes: McMenomy, Staats, Klassen,

Willcox noted that cross training other workers would be better.

REGULAR MEETING
AUGUST 3, 1993
Klassen noted, as the memo states, "This position also helps with
park maintenance, so cross training does occur." McMenomy
thought other alternatives could be tried.
MOTION by Staats to authorize the posting and advertisement of a
Level I Maintenance Worker for the Street Maintenance Division
and to proceed with the hiring process with the start date to be
no sooner than October 1, 1993. Second by Klassen. Ayes:
Klassen, Wippermann, Staats. Nays: Willcox, McMenomy. Motion

Director Wasmund reviewed the Lockler Storm Water Utility
Complaint regarding the water level of White Lake near Bacardi
Avenue and 128th Street West. Mr. Lockler has spent thousands of
dollars to raise the level of his backyard and put in a retaining
wall which was approved by the City and the Department of Natural
Resources (DNR). Staff recommends acquiring the necessary
easements and permits with the DNR and direct the water north 400
feet along Bacardi Avenue and then east to a natural ponding
area. This project will allow White Lake to be maintained at or
below the ordinary high water level established by the DNR.
MOTION by Willcox to have the Public Works Department find out
the total cost for obtaining easements with appraisals, estimates
and agreements for storm water utility drainage for White Lake.
Second by Wippermann. Ayes: Willcox, Wippermann, McMenomy,
Staats, Klassen. Nays: None.
Fire Chief Aker reported on the repair of the 1972 Aerial Truck.
Mayor McMenomy questioned the continued repair of this truck.
Chief Aker said this fire truck has not been used this year in an
actual emergency because of its unreliability. Rosemount has
mutual aid with surrounding cities for assistance, but this does
not include sharing of another city's aerial truck. Council
requested Chief Aker to look at a special agreement with a city
for aerial truck assistance and report back to them. The Mayor
noted he could not recommend any further repairs to this fire
truck.
MOTION by McMenomy to authorize the fire department to pay the
bill in the amount of $965.20 to Emergency Maintenance Apparatus
for repairs to the aerial truck with monies to come from Account

Mayor McMenomy called for a break at 8:35 p.m. and reconvened the
meeting at 8:48 p.m.
Economic Development Coordinator Miller gave a staff review of
the Carlson Development Proposal which would include an anchor
business of a 24,000 square foot grocery store. This development
is located on the south side of County Road 42 next to the Subway
Restaurant. It would include a major grocery store connected to
several smaller stores totaling an additional 27,000 square feet.

REGULAR MEETING
AUGUST 3, 1993
The Port Authority is recommending City involvement with the city
share of property tax only. This financing would be a pay -as-
you-go and would not require any bonds hence no financial risk.
Tom Hyberg represented the Carlson's and gave an overall
presentation of the development featuring Jubilee Foods as the
anchor grocery tenant. The development would supply over 37 full
time positions and over 100 part time positions. It would
increase the tax base and add service oriented shops for the
residents of Rosemount.
Councilmembers suggested that a market study for the area doesn't
show a strong market for retail and that it would be a risk, if
not for the City, for the developer.
Ron Carlson and Rich Carlson reviewed their many efforts to try
to develop this land. Carlson believed it would be a benefit to
Rosemount.
Harold Wachter originally sold this farm land to be developed and
he commented that he would like to see the tax base of the City
increased.
Mike McNamara, a businessman here and in Apple Valley noted that
growth makes more growth and business begets more business.
Lloyd Johnson, employed by Super Valu as a developing specialist,
represented John Miller, the new owner of the Super Valu grocery
store in Rosemount. Johnson said it would be difficult for two
grocery stores to survive in Rosemount. The large discount
stores such as Cub and Rainbow draw the majority of Rosemount
shoppers leaving only 15% that do shop in Rosemount.
John Miller,

owner of Super Valu, expressed his appreciation for
and the opportunity to earn a living in Rosemount to
family. He wants to see Rosemount grow, but not at
of his business and possibly other established shops
Cliff Carlson, Don Sinnwell, Marie Jensen and Tom Kirky offered
comments regarding the development.
MOTION by McMenomy to approve Port Authority financial
participation in the Rosemount Village Square Project, not to
exceed $250,000 in present value on a city tax abatement, pay
as- you -go basis. The payments shall not extend beyond ten years.
Lack of second. McMenomy withdrew his motion.
Councilmember Wippermann said his poll of citizens and business
owners resulted in good arguments for and against the City
subsidizing this project, but the majority of comments received
were against any funding by the City. City funds however should
not cause primary businesses to go out of business. A retail
study by McComb Group Inc. projected the amount of grocery store
1
ROSEMOUNT CITY PROCEEDINGS
REGULAR MEETING
AUGUST 3, 1993
space Rosemount could support by the year 2000 and this
development would exceed that amount. Wippermann did not believe
both grocery stores could survive, but if Carlson's wanted to go
forward with their own funding he would not vote against that.
Councilmember Willcox agreed the City should not fund this
project and with the twenty year commitment from Jubilee Foods
funding elsewhere should be easily had. City funding should help
the residents as a whole and not duplicate businesses in place.
Councilmember Klassen shared that this funding vehicle is
untried. Klassen believes the retail market is soft but she
would not stand in the way of the Carlsons' development without
city funding.
Councilmember Staats believed County Road 42 has to be developed,
however, city financing is not needed. There will always be
competition, that can't be avoided. A business should stand on
its own. Staats would not be in favor of the Carlson's proposal
as presented.
Mayor McMenomy would support the Carlsons' proposal because of
the tax base increase and job opportunities provided. McMenomy
believed the City wants to grow and with further residential
developments taking place additional businesses will be needed.
McMenomy hopes the Carlsons will go ahead with their project.
Mayor McMenomy called for a break at 11:15 p.m. The meeting
reconvened at 11:25 p.m. Councilmember Willcox left the meeting.
Economic Development Coordinator John Miller reviewed the
Business Park land purchase. The Roy Abbott property being
considered is the land southeast of the intersection of Highway 3
and County Road 42. Documents will be drafted for consideration
at the August 17, 1993 City Council meeting.
Planning Director Freese reported that two Planning Commissioners
have submitted their resignation because of job related
complications.
MOTION by Klassen to accept with regret the resignation of
Commissioners Gundacker and McDermott and to proceed with the
Commissioner selection process as outlined. Second by Staats.
Ayes: McMenomy, Staats, Klassen, Wippeiivann. Nays: None.
MOTION by Klassen to approve the job descriptions and salary
ranges for Assistant Community Center Manager, Building
Maintenance Supervisor, and Rental Coordinator; and to authorize
posting and advertisement for these three positions. Second by
Staats. Ayes: Staats, Klassen, Wippermann, McMenomy. Nays:
None.
City Administrator Jilk related the recommendations of the
Utilities Commission regarding the 1992 Cable Act passed by
1
ROSEMOUNT CITY PROCEEDINGS
REGULAR MEETING
AUGUST 3, 1993
Congress. This would allow cities to participate in regulating
the fees of local cable companies. In review, little benefit
would be received by the City's involvement and if at a later
date interest would be shown, involvement could proceed. No
action was necessary at this time.
Administrator Jilk announced the National League of Cities Annual
Conference to be held in Orlando, Florida in December. Funds
were not budgeted for any national conferences this year and
Council opted not to attend.
Customer Relations were discussed by Administrative Assistant
Walsh. Walsh requested approval of funds tor Frank Quisenberry
to conduct
in -house training workshops for employee customer relations
training.
MOTION by Klassen to hire Frank Quisenberry to conduct employee
customer relations training for a fee of $2400 with $1500 to be
spent from account 101- 41320 -01 -307 and $900 to be spent from
account 101- 41110 -01 -598. Second by Wippermann. Ayes: Klassen,

MOTION to table the authorization for an Agent of Record for the
City's health, dental and flexible spending programs Second by
McMenomy. Ayes: Wippermann, McMenomy, Staats, Klassen. Nays:

The Mayor's Report by Mayor McMenomy noted a resident's concern
for the road improvements on Highway 3 which will not allow
parking on Highway 3 between 145th Street West and 147th Street.
MOTION by McMenomy to direct the City Administrator to
investigate potential uses and costs of utilization of the Navy
base lands and facilities and to update the Council on this
matter in 120 days. Second by Klassen. Ayes: Wippermann,
McMenomy, Staats, Klassen. Nays: None.
Administrator Jilk introduced six goals to improve customer
services to the community. These goals are: publish a "Community
Handbook have continued customer service training programs;
develop an in -house customer service /complaint system; have a
tracking system for staff; have a monthly column in the ThisWeek
paper on new codes and procedures; and have "informational
seminars" for businesses and developers to inform them of codes
and regulations. Jilk expected to further develop these with
cost estimates in thirty days.

SPECIAL MEETING
AUGUST 12, 1993
Pursuant to due call and notice thereof a special meeting of the
City Council of the City of Rosemount was duly held on Thursday,
August 12, 1993, at 6:40 p.m. in the Council Lounge at City Hall.
Mayor McMenomy called the meeting to order with Councilmembers
Willcox, Staats, Wippermann and Klassen present. Staff present
included Administrator Jilk and City Attorney Miles.
The purpose of the meeting was to clarify the August 8, 1993
presentation of Carlson Properties: Rosemount Village Square
Project.
Mayor McMenomy felt the public meeting went poorly and that
Carlsons deserved a chance to discuss their development in an
informal setting. No action by Council would be taken tonight.
Attorney Miles said it was appropriate for the Mayor to call a
meeting.
Ron Carlson, Rich Carlson, and Tom Heiberg addressed the Council.
Ron Carlson gave the history of the property located on County
Road 42 and the project, Rosemount Village Square. In 1980's
several developers were interested in the property but for
various reasons no project ever proceeded. In 1991 the Rosemount
Economic Development Authority showed interest in providing
economic assistance to encourage development of the site.
Rich Carlson reviewed trade area data and consumer spending
available in Rosemount. He discussed the percentage of the market
being taken by the local Super Valu store and that the need is
here for another "market store
Tom Heiberg noted that the property taxes for the proposed
project would produce $40,000 for the City. A funding mechanism,
Local Effect Tax Increment Financing, was suggested. Klassen
asked if something shouldn't be offered to the existing
businesses as well. Willcox said it would be alright to offer
the infrastructure but not a subsidy. Mayor McMenomy supported
the project when considering the long range plan which shows the
population growing. This increase in population would be able to
support additional retail. According to the study 85 percent of
Rosemount residents shop elsewhere and more of this market should
be able to be recaptured.
Some of the reasons for hesitating to approve city fund
participation in the development were: 1) concern that a new
grocery store would survive, 2) can't compete with warehouse type
grocery stores offered in nearby communities, 3) the City of
Rosemount should not provide funding for competitive businesses,
and 4) lack of review of market study.
Tom Heiberg noted three options: 1) Rosemount Village Square will
not happen without special funding, 2) Carlsons will consider a
theater or fast food business, or 3) development of an 18 acre
site with a theater.

There was general discussion that the Carlsons should resolve the
development on their own. The City would review any project
proposal submitted.

present from the Rosemount Chamber of Commerce.
Mayor McMenomy led the audience in the Pledge of Allegiance.
City Administrator Stephan Jilk presented for discussion the
second draft of the 1994 general fund operating budget.
Revisions were made as directed to emphasize street maintenance
and repairs and reduce the proposed Parks and Recreation
operations.
Finance Director Jeff May explained the computational worksheet
used to determine the levy amount for 1994. The Legislature
changed the procedures for Certified Homestead and Agricultural
Credit Aid and Fiscal Disparities Distribution Levy (Metro Area)
so last year's levy can't be directly compared, item to item.
The levy does reflect an increase of 10 in the overall levy
before the credits are deducted. Dakota County will not have
final figures available for two weeks to determine levy amounts.
May noted he has checked with several other cities and found they
have also experienced a decrease in levy for 1994.
Director May also noted that the Assessment Inventory is being
conducted this week and this may increase the assessed value of
the City which would change the tax capacity.
Each department head reviewed the major items of their operating
budgets.
Some options need to be considered for the Capital Improvement
Projects (CIP) Budget in 1994. The city has experienced growth
and expanded services are needed. City Administrator Jilk
recommended considering a plan to spread the funding over a five
year plan and allocate that to the CIP Budget.
The next budget meeting is to be held Monday, August 30, 1993, at

were Aker, Bechtold, Freese, Jilk, Knutsen, Miller, Osmundson,
Pearson, and Walsh. Also in attendance was City Attorney Miles.

An addition was made to the Agenda to introduce the Muller Family

Lucy Holzer represented the Rosemount Chamber of Commerce with an
update to City Council. Holzer was pleased with the

New members are being sought for this Committee. There is a fund

The banner display used during Leprechaun Days was very
successful.
Planning Director Lisa Freese introduced Wayne Delfino from CMC
Heartland Developers. Mr. Delfino introduced Reid Hansen who
gave an update on the development project. Hansen listed six
items which have to be accomplished in order for the development
to continue. These items are: 1) Approval of the Comprehensive
Guide Plan by Metropolitan Council; 2) approval of the number of
sewer hook ups; 3) relocation of the SOO Line Rail spur; 4) Tax
Increment Financing available to relocate the rail spur; 5)
divert ponding water to Business Park area; and 6) obtain County
Road 42 access. Development is scheduled to begin as soon as
possible in 1994, any delays may cause loss of profit. Hansen
also announced that CMC Heartland has entered into a purchase
agreement for 223 additional acres for development in Rosemount.

loss to property. He agrees with the 30' setback for pipelines.
Willcox would agree to grandfather in CMC.
Councilmember Klassen said that flexibility is built into the
planning system. If hardship can be proven, then variances can
apply. CMC is not boxed in if they work with the PUD. The
Planning Commission gave a great deal of thought to the safety
issue and she supports their recommendation.
The criteria included in the ordinance increases the livability
for Rosemount for the future. Klassen saw no need to grandfather
in CMC.
Mayor McMenomy did not feel comfortable with what he believed to
be an arbitrary 30' setback. McMenomy would prefer to exclude
the pipeline easement issue from any approval of the
zoning /subdivision ordinance changes at this time. He felt CMC
should be grandfathered in since they have been working with the
City for a long period of time.
Councilmember Wippermann said the amended ordinance would have
appropriate guidelines, if some feel exceptions are necessary the
PUD process allows for that. There is never a perfect time for
change, but because there are no preliminary plats now pending
this would be a good time. Wippermann agrees with the ordinance
changes that encourage lower population density. He did not feel
CMC needed to be grandfathered in.
Councilmember Staats noted that Williams Pipeline did repairs
about seven years ago on his lot in Rosemount and they were able
to stay within the sixty foot easement. A resident is able to
put driveways and out buildings over the easements. He felt CMC
should be grandfathered in.

Councilmember Willcox asked CMC to furnish a cost comparison
showing how the implications of the ordinance would affect its
development. CMC agreed.
Bob and Mike Muller were introduced to City Council. They are
encouraged and excited about the Business Park project and
believe benefits in taxes, jobs, and encouragement to other
businesses will be great for Rosemount. Muller's invited City

July 20, 1993 public hearing. Affidavits of publication and
notice were submitted at the July 20, 1993 hearing.
Planning Director Freese introduced the Zoning /Subdivision
Ordinance Text Amendment and noted that three developers are now
in the beginning process of development in Rosemount. Only CMC
Heartland Developers have responded to the changes of setbacks
for utility easements. Pipeline safety is an issue especially
since the recent incident in St. Paul where a residential service
line was severed causing injury and property damage. The
Rosemount ordinance goes one step beyond the requirements
supported by the Pipeline Safety Report however, this study
admittedly did not have enough conclusive evidence to provide
further safety measures. If hardship occurs provisions are made
for variances and Planned Unit Development (PUD) through the City
Planning Commission. Previously plats approved are protected for
two years for changes in the zoning and subdivision ordinances.
Country Hills is an example of where a variance was granted for
smaller set backs than is standard. There are no preliminary
plats now pending. This would be an opportune time to make a
change which the Planning Commission recommends as beneficial for
the safety of the residents of Rosemount.
Reid Hansen, speaking for CMC Heartland Developers, objected to
the ordinance changes because of the effect it would have on
their project. CMC engineers reviewed the specific setbacks and
buffer zones and found the plat would have to be changed, some
lots would be lost, and it would severely impact the project.
Hansen requested this development to be "grandfathered in" since
they have been working with the City for almost three years
regarding this site.
Consultant Engineer for CMC, John Johnson, noted that a 66' wide
easement for a pipeline should be considered for a front yard
easement rather than just a backyard easement. Johnson felt the
setbacks should be different for side, front or back property
lines. City Engineer Bud Osmundson noted that front yard
easements would be cost prohibitive because of the many service
junctions required to cross the pipeline. Also, the pipeline is
not always down the center of the easement and the pipeline
company can move the pipe within the easement.
Planning Director Freese said that pipelines are inspected often
by airplane, that being one reason why no landscaping, swing
sets, or structures can be in the easement. If building would be
allowed up to the easement line, the property owner would in
effect have no back yard except open space. City Administrator
Jilk noted that if the setback is a safety requirement, why would
you want it different for the front, back or side setbacks as
requested by CMC?
Councilmember Willcox noted that if a repair is required to a
pipeline, the easement should be sufficient to allow large
machinery in and not require the resident to entertain expense or

Economic Development Coordinator John Miller presented the
Project Plan and Project Budget for the Rosemount Business Park
to City Council. The site is located southeast of Highway 3 and
County Road 42. The land purchase agreement is with Roy E.
Abbott. SEH, Inc. did a concept plan for the property showing a
minor amount of infrastructure could start the business park.
The concept plan provided many different types of lots available
such as flat land for warehouse type, railroad availability, or
high amenity lots with natural wildlife.
Two reasons for doing the business park were the tax base
increase needed and the downtown retail sales increase hoped for
with an influx of employees or customers going regularly to these
businesses.
In the last five years there have been very few new businesses
coming into Rosemount. The Port Authority wanted to change this.
Many businesses showed interest in building in Rosemount but
there were no lots available with sewer and water or zoning which
could be ready in six months, so they went elsewhere.
Another source of income for financing the business park would
become available because of the stormwater runoff needed for the
CMC Heartland Developers site just north of the business park.
This would allow CMC to buy drainage rights rather than take lots
away from their development and make a drainage pond which would
also take away residential tax base from Rosemount.
Miller said there is risk involved for this business park because
there are no guarantees any project will proceed as hoped. The
Port Authority has analyzed all aspects of these possibilities
and recommends the purchase of the Abbott property for the
establishment of the Rosemount Business Park.
Klassen and Staats believed the business park should be separated
from the theater purchase.
Miller reasoned why the government needs to be involved at all
with the business park. The tax structure in the state of
Minnesota makes it virtually impossible for the private sector to
see a profit from a business park. Almost all cities are

involved financially with attracting and developing new
businesses. The City, however should not go in competition with
the private sector retail businesses. Light industrial, service
oriented, office businesses and a motel are foreseen for the
business park.
Wippermann noted that the issues are related. However, certain
projects shouldn't be held hostage. The current purchase
agreement has enough safety measures in it to go ahead.

SPECIAL MEETING
AUGUST 18, 1993
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 18, 1993, at 7:00 p.m. in the Council Chambers at City
Hall.
Mayor McMenomy called the meeting to order with Councilmembers
Willcox, Wippermann, Staats, and Klassen present. City
commissioners present were: Cathy Busho, Jay Baago, Joan
Anderson, and Don Sinnwell; city staff members included City
Administrator Jilk, Economic Development Coordinator Miller, and
Planning Director Freese. An audience of approximately 40
residents attended also.
Mayor McMenomy led the group in the Pledge of Allegiance.
Mayor McMenomy introduced Bernie McGarrigle, Chair, Ena Cisewski,
Vice Chair, and John Loch to present the final report and
recommendations of the Downtown Scoping Committee to the
Rosemount City Council.
McGarrigle thanked the eleven member Downtown Scoping Committee
for their time and determination and city staff, John Miller and
Lisa Freese for facilitating much of the technical information
needed. The task of the Committee was to study and recommend a
plan for the use and development of the Downtown Area of
Rosemount. The fact that Rosemount has a definite downtown
location is a valuable asset to the citizens of Rosemount. This
provides a municipal identity and sense of place many cities do
not have. The Downtown is a gathering place; the seat of city
government, worship, education, and trade. The Downtown exists
for all ten thousand plus taxpayers in Rosemount and the
appearance and condition of the Downtown can affect property
values all over the city. With all this in mind, the Committee
worked hard to develop the best recommendations for the needed
standards and to give a direction for the future development of
the Downtown.
Ena Cisewski pointed out the two commercial districts recommended
and their boundaries. (These areas are described in the report
and are shown on the associated drawing.) The Downtown Area
would be bordered on the east by the railroad, the west border
would be one block west of Highway 3, north to Connemara Trail
and south to County Road 42. An Associated Contiguous Commercial
Area would run along County Road 42 south one block, bordered on
the west by Shannon Parkway and the east by about two blocks
further east of Trunk Highway 3. The Associated Contiguous
Commercial Area would be zoned C -3. Most future retail
development would be contained in these two areas.
The Downtown Area would be pedestrian friendly with a basic
layout of a campus type design to encourage people to shop and do
business there. A walkway over CR 42 was recommended and a
tunnel under TH 3 near the high school. Decorative lighting was
recommend along TH 3 and CR 42 with landscaping to define the
sidewalks and streets.

ROSEMOUNT CITY PROCEEDINGS
SPECIAL MEETING
AUGUST 18, 1993
The Committee encouraged the City Council to stay on track with
the Erickson Community Square and Parks plan. John Loch noted
that both long term and short term plans need to begin now. The
City must get started now, but, City Council must decide to
approve these recommendations in order for them to be followed.
One resident noted the cleaning up of the weed problem, planting
of flowers and placement of flags would be an inexpensive ways to
start. City funding may encourage current businesses to improve
the appearance of the Downtown now so more people are drawn to
shop here. Once a "community pride" is established enforcement
won't be needed. It was noted that if weed notices were issued,
it would have to be in a consistent manner through out the city,
not just the Downtown Area.
A resident said that the discount stores in Apple Valley and
surrounding cities like Rainbow, Cub, K -Mart, and Target will
always draw people from the downtown retail. John Loch noted
that what will draw people here is convenience and uniqueness.
Specialty shops and restaurants are some businesses that could
provide that uniqueness.. Also, parks or green space with
beautiful displays of flowers, fountains, or statues will create
interest points that will encourage people to spend time here.
Some auto related business owners voiced concern for their future
in the downtown. The Committee assured them businesses now in
the Downtown Area would be grandfathered -in with no immediate
changes needed. In the future, auto businesses would be directed
to the Associated Contiguous Commercial Area for development by
CR 42. No new auto related businesses would be allowed in the
Downtown Area.
Councilmember Staats left at 8:30 p.m. for a prior commitment.
Chair McGarrigle said he hoped the City Council would adopt the
Downtown Scoping Committee's Final Report and Recommendations and
if further resident input was required that consideration of a
referendum question be put to the residents.
Mayor McMenomy asked for Council continent noting that he was not
ready to adopt the recommendations tonight but would like to meet
with the City's planning staff. McMenomy said he appreciates the
substantial time the Committee spent and the difficult decisions
it had to make.
Councilmember Willcox said the report looks good. He is
concerned for the aging population and their needs and wonders if
the recommendations are flexible enough to direct development.
Councilmember Wippermann noted that the recommendations are an
excellent foundation. He has concerns for the C -3 zoning and
would like to see a timetable formulated to incorporate in
ordinance form the Plan's guidelines.

Councilmember Klassen said she liked the report. She said, "The
path is laid, we just have to walk down it." According to
Klassen many reports and studies were considered. other towns
toured, and information gathered on streetscapes and trail
systems. The Community Center will be a boon to business.
Development guidelines should be set up as soon as possible.
Klassen requested that all department heads and commissioners
receive copies of the Final Report and Recommendations. Input
from them will help determine what they can do, both short and
long term. Money is always a problem. Funding would need to be
looked into and a referendum considered. Klassen commended the
Downtown Scoping Committee for a good job.
MOTION by McMenomy to accept the Final Report and Recommendations
of the Downtown Scoping Committee and direct city staff and
commissioners to review it and respond with an outline of
assigned tasks and implementation strategies by the October 5,
1993 City Council meeting. Second by Klassen. Discussion
ensued and Council agreed to amend the motion as follows:
Further, City Council makes a commitment to respond to
the Downtown Scoping Committee by the November 16th
Council meeting.
Councilmember Willcox indicated that he would vote to accept the
report but he felt that the plan, as presented, was in no way
ready for implementation and that additional information would
need to be provided.
Polling of the motion: Ayes: Wippermann, Klassen, Willcox,
McMenomy. Nays: None.
MOTION by McMenomy to thank all who served on the Downtown
Scoping Committee: Karl Biewald, Ron Carlson, Ena Cisewski, Rita

Klassen. Ayes: Wippermann, Willcox, Klassen, McMenomy. Nays:

City Administrator Jilk reminded those present that two positions
remain open on the Planning Commission and asked any interested
ones to please consider applying.
Mayor McMenomy thanked the audience for their input and noted the
applications for Planning Commission were available.

SPECIAL MEETING
AUGUST 30, 1993
notice thereof a special meeting of the
of Rosemount was duly held on Monday,
p.m. in the Council Chambers at City
Mayor McMenomy called the meeting to order with Councilmembers
Willcox, Staats, Wippermann, and Klassen present. Staff present
were: Aker, Bechtold, Freese, Jilk, Knutsen, May, Topitzhofer,
and Wasmund. Lucy Holzer and Marie Jensen were present from the
Rosemount Chamber of Commerce, Cathy Busho from Planning
Commission, and Don Sinnwell from Port Authority Commission.
Also present was City Attorney Mike Miles.
Mayor McMenomy led the audience in the Pledge of Allegiance.
City Administrator Stephan Jilk presented for discussion the
revisions to the second draft of the 1994 general fund operating
budget and a copy of the first full draft of the five year CIP
The proposed debt service levy and spread levy computational
worksheet were also revised. Finally, a draft resolution was
provided that would set the city's preliminary levy for 1994 and
sets the public hearing dates of December 2, 1993 and December
15, 1993 at 8:00 p.m.
Administrator Jilk pointed out that the operating costs had been
reduced by $96,531, revenues had increased by $6,100, overall,
certain Parks and Recreation programs had been shifted to the
Community Center operations which reduced the Parks and
Recreation Department needs by $78,267. A transfer of $70,000 of
that savings would be made to the Community Center for covering
the program costs. These changes would result in a 10.27%
increase in the operating budget from 1993.
The levy spread to the taxpayers is what affects the property
taxes for residents. The preliminary levy is determined to
estimate the highest cost the City will incur in its operations
because City Council can reduce the levy, but can not increase it
beyond what is certified to the Dakota County Auditor on
September 15, 1993. City Council intends to reduce what is
necessary and yet maintain adequate services such as street
maintenance, police, and fire.
The overall levy as presented would cause an estimated 4%
increase on existing property, approximately 8% would be
supported through new construction value, and the other 3% an
increase in rate. Dakota County will not be able to provide us
with an accurate tax capacity rate for 1994 until September 13.
The Dakota County Auditor requires Rosemount to certify our levy
by September 15.
Discussion followed on the operations of the Community Center
lead by Jim Topitzhofer, Community Center Manager. The National
Guard has agreed to have the City maintain the entire facility
and charge back to them for these services. Many details in
fees, concessions, programming, and arena use have been decided
by the Community Center Commission and approved by the City

Council since June. The Operating Budget has come together
showing a $26,000 short fall for 1994. Councilmember Willcox
commented that amount is not bad for start up costs.
Councilmember Wippermann asked what the future looked like for
the Center. Topitzhofer noted that revenues will have to
increase significantly, more events and rental of space to cover
the future debt service payments. Lakeville is building an arena
so we don't want to out price the market and we do want to
provide a top rate facility to keep business here.
Councilmember Willcox referred to a report from the State
Auditor's office comparing the per capita cost of cities in
Minnesota. This showed Rosemount at $346 per capita, when the
average is $286. Administrator Jilk noted that being ranked with
densely populated suburbs is not appropriate for Rosemount.
Klassen pointed out that Rosemount falls between the per capita
of Apple Valley at $330 and Farmington at $554 in that report.
Rosemount was ranked 49 out of 95 cities in Minnesota for tax
capacity rate.
Mayor McMenomy stated he wanted to keep the budget on the extra
lean side, holding the increase to about 5 McMenomy approves
of the increases in items for the Fire Department, Police
Department, Public Works street maintenance and street lights,
and the Insurance Budget increase. However, other items should
be reconsidered and kept at last year's amounts.
Councilmember Klassen was uncomfortable with equipment
certificate bonds. Klassen noted that a letter to the residents
may be helpful to explain the preliminary levy since the County
will be sending notices of what expected property taxes may be to
each property owner.
Discussion ensued. The City Council's consensus was to approve
the preliminary budget adding $60,000 to the proposed budget to
cover needed subsidy for Community Center operation and
additional CIP Funds and to continue discussions on the proposed
budget prior to the December 2, 1993 public hearing.
MOTION by Willcox to accept the Preliminary 1994 General Fund

to conduct public hearings. Staff will do a presentation and
then allow the audience to ask questions or express opinions.
Mayor McMenomy opened the Public Hearing for the Rich Valley Golf
Course Rezoning Petition and Zoning Ordinance Text Amendment.
The recording secretary had the Affidavits of Notice and
Publication.
Planning Director Lisa Freese reviewed the request of Ray Rahn as
presented to the Planning Commission for building a 5000 square
foot pole barn for his golf course. The size of the barn was
greater than allowed for in a Agriculturally zoned area and the
golf course is currently of nonconforming status. Rezoning to
Public /Quasi Public would allow Mr. Rahn to proceed with his
building plans and a separate agreement would be entered into to
allow the house on the property to continue to be used in
relationship to the golf course.
Mr. Rahn's legal representative, Hap LaVander, presented the
reasons for the rezoning request, but noted that the commercial
building standards would cause too much expense and would not
match the other out buildings.
Neighbors and friends spoke in defense of Mr. Rahn's request.
They felt the low visibility of the building and the industrial
and agricultural surroundings would not require added esthetics
for the building.
MOTION by McMenomy to close the Public Hearing on the Rich Valley
Golf Course Rezoning Petition and Zoning Ordinance Text
Amendment. Second by Willcox. Ayes: Willcox, Wippermann,
McMenomy, Staats, Klassen. Nays: None.
Mayor McMenomy noted that Solberg Aggregate recently built a new
building next to the golf course and was required to have it 50%
faced with brick. Solberg is zoned General Industrial.

Councilmember Staats noted that on the other side of the golf
course is the Waste Water Treatment Plant that has only metal
buildings and is zoned Public.
Councilmember Wippermann was in favor of a compromise. Building
Official Ron Wasmund noted that the pole barn would be required
to meet all building code standards.
Councilmember Klassen suggested looking into different standards
east of Akron which is consistent with other ordinances that have
used that street as a line of demarcation between western and
eastern Rosemount.

with respect to this property an agreement regarding use of the
house and exception to building requirements for a pole barn. No

respect to the house remaining on the golf course property.

Mayor McMenomy opened the Public Hearing for AVR Inc. Pension
Plan and Trust Rezoning Petition. The Affidavits of Notice and
Publication were on file with the recording secretary.
Planning Director Lisa FREESE reviewed the rezoning request for
14760 South Robert Trail to change it from C -2, Community
Commercial to C -4, General Commercial. The intent would be to
establish an automotive repair and related uses such as auto
sales. The Planning Commission recommended denial of the
rezoning since the building as currently zoned, can be reasonably
used and if rezoned it would be rendered nonconforming for
parking and setbacks. The site probably would not accommodate
outdoor storage or parking of vehicles for sale or lease. Also,
this type of use does not meet the long range plans or "vision"
for the downtown.
Gene Peterson, owner of AVR, Inc., who has entered into a
contract with Arlyn Cope of Repairs, Inc. for the building,
explained the use intended for the building. Arlyn Cope also

MOTION by Klassen to deny the AVR Inc. Pension Plan and Trust
Rezoning Petition based on the following findings: 1) the
present zoning corresponds with the current utilization of the

Mayor McMenomy called for a break at 9:30 p.m. The meeting was
reconvened at 9:40 p.m.
Mayor McMenomy introduced the Carlson's development interest and
a letter they had sent to City Council and Port Authority.
Carlson's commented that they were not against the Rosemount
Business Park the Port Authority was proposing, however, the
theater being placed on that site was not appropriate. They felt
entertainment should not be incorporated into a light industrial
business site. Also, safety should be a consideration; with the
railroad and Highway 3 between the fast food places and theater,
children would be at risk. Bill Muller, of Muller's Family
Theater, Inc. did not wish to comment at this time.
Mayor McMenomy noted that the Business Park Property Acquisition
as on Agenda would be discussed with the Carlson's issues.
Councilmember Klassen believed the Business Park could have more
flexibility. Different uses could be established in different
areas of the Park. Apple Valley's theater is located in a
business park, next to other food, entertainment and office
businesses. Klassen asked City Council to see this for what it
is, competition between like businesses. The City should follow
process as it has been and treat both projects fairly and
equitably.
Councilmember Willcox was in favor of the Business Park but not
until a market strategy is in place.
City Attorney Miles noted that City Council has already
authorized the Port Authority to proceed with a purchase
agreement on the Abbott property. The Agreement required
environmental testing and a survey, yet to be obtained. The 45
day clause is up on September 10, 1993. When the survey is
obtained there will be 14 days to review it.
Councilmember Wippermann, also a member of the Port Authority
Board, noted that the Port Authority felt comfortable that there
is a market for easily obtainable land for businesses. Several
businesses have approached the City to locate here and found land
elsewhere because there were no lots available with utilities
quickly. The City needs to get started.

SEPTEMBER 7, 1993
Staff was directed to continue as directed at previous meetings.
City Engineer Bud Osmundson made a presentation of City Project
235, the 145th Street Reconstruction. Appraisals for Benefits
were made lowering the assessment amounts in most cases from
$3,228 to $2,000. A comparison was made of surrounding cities'
street assessments showing the single family home assessment
averaging to about $2,000.
Mary Hynes, 3405 W. 145th Street, submitted a letter against the
assessment because it would not add to the value of her property.
City Council considered her concerns.
Ken Gist, 3400 144th Street West, noted the new curve of the
road would endanger his residence and family. Under poor weather
conditions or fast speeds, as high school drivers have been known
for, chances for a vehicle to crash into his garage are very
high. Gist protested paying for an assessment for creating
safety hazards and lowering his property value. He requested
that his garage be moved at least 3 feet to allow for safety.
Engineer Osmundson noted that these assessments would not be
assessed until the fall of 1995.
MOTION by Klassen to modify the pending assessments for City
Project No. 235 as per the memo to City Council from City
Engineer Osmundson dated August 19, 1993. Second by Wippermann.

Consideration was made for a special meeting of the City Council
and Port Authority regarding current development projects. The
proposed date of September 20 was not available for all of the
Council. Staff will suggest an alternate date upon review.
City Administrator Jilk noted that the City Attorney's contract
with the law firm of Fluegel, Moynihan and Miles expires on
December 31, 1993. The firm provides legal prosecution, general
services, and property acquisition and condemnation services for
the city. Council said possibly the newly elected Councilmembers
should determine to rehire this firm or go through a bid process.
Klassen would favor re- appointment of this firm, citing
consistency as being very important.
MOTION by McMenomy to table the hiring of Fluegel, Moynihan and
Miles, P.A. for further consideration. Second by Staats. Ayes:
McMenomy, Staats, Klassen, Wippermann. Nays: None.
City Administrator Stephan Jilk suggested salary adjustments to
non union employees for 1993 be made. The Police Department and
Public Works have settled their contracts. The non union and
ASFCME union are the two remaining groups to be settled. The

Councilmember Staats introduced the problem business owners have
with the downtown parking changes of not allowing any parking on
Highway 3. Staats reviewed that this change was brought up
several times at City Council and no one commented against it.
Now a contract has been signed with the Minnesota Department of
Transportation (MnDot) mandating that since the width of Highway
3 will remain the same, a center turn lane is drawn in striping
for one year. After the year is over, if the business owners
experience hardship, or if the safety factor is not improved, the
striping can be changed back allowing parking on Highway 3.
Dentist Dwayne Bergh, 14525 S. Robert Trail, has no on site
parking, only the parking on Highway 3. Bergh felt that the
3
1

REGULAR MEETING

difficulty of parking may hurt his business. Bergh encouraged
the Port Authority to get involved with looking at alternative
parking for the downtown area. Also coordinating the time of the
traffic lights with County Road 42 may move traffic through
better.
City Engineer Osmundson said we will have to try not parking on
Highway 3 for one year because of the contract with MnDot. The
left turn lane in the middle has proven to improve safety. The
car count at the intersection of 145th Street West and Highway 3
is about 10,000 cars per day. Osmundson agreed that staff and
the Port Authority could look for additional parking in the
downtown area. St. Joseph Church would be allowed to park on the
west side of Highway 3.
Mayor McMenomy opposed the non parking policy on Highway 3.
City Attorney Miles noted that it would be very difficult to
change the contract with MnDot. The contract would likely be
ready for review in June, 1994.
Councilmember Klassen hoped that business owners would share
their parking with businesses on Highway 3 while needed.
MOTION by Willcox to direct the Port Authority and staff to work
with businesses affected by the no parking on Highway 3 in the
downtown area to relieve the lack of parking. Second by Klassen.
Ayes: Klassen, Willcox, Wippermann, McMenomy, Staats. Nays:
None.
Planning Director Lisa Freese updated Council on the action
Metropolitan Council took regarding the City's Comprehensive
Plan. Freese explained that Metropolitan Council has required

service area. Discussion ensued. It was determined that a work
session would be necessary inviting all commissions and
committees.
MOTION by McMenomy to have a special meeting on Monday, September
27, 1993 at 6:30 p.m. to discuss the Comprehensive Plan urban
service area. Second by Klassen. Ayes: Willcox, Wippermann,
McMenomy, Staats, Klassen. Nays: None.
City Administrator Jilk reviewed the need to renew the city
attorney contract. Jilk noted the need for consistency in this
area is extremely important. Councilmember Klassen agreed that
for stability it would be good to maintain Fluegel, Moynihan and
Miles, P.A. for at least six months.
MOTION by Klassen to renew the contract with Fluegel, Moynihan
Miles, P.A. for six months to begin on January 1, 1994. Second

SPECIAL MEETING
SEPTEMBER 27, 1993
Pursuant to due call and notice thereof a special meeting of the
City Council of the City of Rosemount was duly held on Monday,
September 27, 1993, at 6:30 p.m. in the Council Chambers at City
Hall.
Mayor McMenomy called the meeting to order with Councilmembers
Staats, Willcox, Wippermann, and Klassen present. Staff present
were: Freese, Heimkes, Miller, Osmundson, Pearson and Wasmund.
Some Commissioners present were Planning: Busho, Baago, Ingram,
DeBettignies, Droste and Port Authority: Dunn, Anderson. Also
present was City Attorney Mike Miles. The audience had people
that represented CMC :Heartland Developers, U.S. Homes Developers,
Carlson Properties, and the National Guard Maintenance Facility.
Mayor McMenomy opened the meeting and led the audience in the
Pledge of Allegiance.
Councilmember Wippermann asked to add to the Agenda a discussion
on the City Administrator Search. Council agreed. Discussion
followed.
MOTION by Wippermann to direct Administrative Assistant Susan
Walsh to contact the League of Minnesota Cities for the purpose
of obtaining information on firms to conduct a search for a new
City Administrator and also resources for selection of an interim
Administrator including how long these processes may take.
Second by McMenomy. Ayes: McMenomy, Wippermann, Klassen,
Staats, Willcox. Nays: None.
Mayor McMenomy advised the group that the goal for this meeting
was to have the City Council direct staff in regard to where the
sewer capacity should be allocated during the next few years.
Planning Director Lisa Freese reviewed the phasing of sewer
capacity shown on the MUSA Maps; the Interim Map, the Year 2000
Map, and the Year 2010 Map. The City is required to remove the
Year 2000 Metropolitan Urban Service Area (MUSA) boundary and in
effect the Interim MUSA will become the City's year 2000 growth
boundary.
Planning staff anticipates that in 1998 an expansion will be made
to the Rosemount Treatment Plant which will allow the City to
expand the MUSA. The Treatment Plant is under the control of the
Metropolitan Waste Control Commission and as a result the City
cannot have access to additional capacity until it is budgeted
for in the Implementation Plan of the regional agency. The City
is in a situation where developers are in control of more land
than the Metropolitan Council will allow in the MUSA.
Furthermore, the City does not have enough capacity in the
Rosemount WWTP service area to guarantee full development of all
of the land within the proposed Interim MUSA. Until improvements
are budgeted by the MWCC in their implementation Plan, the City
will be limited to 1,130 units of capacity in the Rosemount WWTP
service area and only 735 units are not committed through
plats /final project approvals at this time. It is highly
probable that by the time this capacity is gone the treatment
1
1
1
ROSEMOUNT CITY PROCEEDINGS
SPECIAL MEETING
SEPTEMBER 27, 1993
plant will be on -line. In the short term, however, it is prudent
for the City to plan as if the capacity does not exist. Director
Freese also pointed out that the City has ample land available in
the Empire WWTP to provide for a sustained residential growth
level through the end of the decade.
It was noted that developers along with the City need to lobby
Metropolitan Council in order to let them know that it is a
hardship for developers and city governments. Several other
communities are going through the similar situations; Cottage
Grove, Hastings, and Stillwater are some. A coalition of these
cities in similar circumstances could be beneficial in effecting
policy decisions at the Metropolitan level.
Director Freese overviewed the projects approved and on the
drawing board. The capacity required to serve all of these
potential projects was based on residential equivalent units
estimates. Until final building plans and /or final development
plans are submitted the exact capacity needs can not be
determined.
Those representing projects within the area under consideration
for MUSA and sewer capacity allocations were allowed to present
their concerns. Lee Johnson of US Homes, Ron Carlson of Carlson
Properties, Harold Hawks of the Minnesota National Guard, and
Wayne Delfino and Reid Hansen representing CMC Heartland Partners
all presented comments regarding each of their organizations
development plans and capacity needs.
Ed Dunn, Port Authority Chair, noted that one option would be to
let the development market drive the usage issue. Expansion
would follow the demand perhaps with some performance criteria so
that a maximum number of units per year would be allowed.
Discussion indicated that the larger home developers could build
a maximum of 75 units a year under these capacity constraints.
Planning Commissioner Ingram noted that facilitating residential
development could serve as a discouragement for the development
of a regional airport in Dakota County.
Port Authority Commissioner Anderson spoke in support of setting
aside capacity for the proposed Business Park stating that a
Marketing Committee has been formed. In order to make the
project work it will be necessary to have lots served by
utilities and available to turn over to potential developers.
Councilmember Willcox noted that a first come first serve
allocation of sewer units makes sense given the limited capacity
available to work with and the number of potential projects.
Councilmember Klassen noted the frustration to have to turn away
any development. She inquired as to whether or not more MUSA
could be allocated to CMC from other areas such as the Kelly
property or the Business Park to provide a level of comfort to
CMC that the second phase of their project was acknowledged.
Director Freese indicated that adjustments to the boundaries
could be made so long as the Council understood that until the
treatment plant is expanded that such a reallocation does not
insure addition units of capacity to CMC to serve the area.
Council consensus was to direct staff to review the Interim MUSA
and to identify possible areas where the MUSA boundary could be
adjusted in order to reallocate MUSA on the 226 acre property
owned by CMC. Potential areas identified for consideration were
the Business Park and Kelly Trust Property. An update of this
information should be presented to City Council at the next
regular meeting with a special meeting to follow.
Mayor McMenomy called a Special Meeting of the City Council for
October 12, 1993 at 7:00 p.m. to review further the MUSA
allocation.
MOTION by McMenomy to adjourn. SECOND by Wippermann. Ayes:
Five. Nays: None. The meeting was adjourned at 9:30 p.m.

September 28, 1993, at 7:00 p.m. in the Council Chambers at City
Hall.
Mayor McMenomy called the meeting to order with Councilmembers
Willcox, Wippermann, Staats, and Klassen present.
Mayor McMenomy led the audience in the Pledge of Allegiance.
Mayor McMenomy announced the purpose of the meeting was to
discuss the current assessment policy and whether the proposed
assessments for Projects 206 and 212 were equitable since
appraisals on recent projects greatly varied in the dollar
amount.
Discussion was held on the appraisals obtained on assessable
properties for Project 206 and Project 235, and members of
council expressed concerns that the discrepancies in the various
appraisals may make it difficult to determine the benefit
provided by the improvement projects. It was recommended that
benefit be determined by using the lower appraised value rather
than the higher dollar amount.
Public Works Director Ron Wasmund and City Engineer Bud Osmundson
reviewed the method used for determining the estimated value of
improvements for paving and water for City Project 206, 145th
Street reconstruction from Diamond Path to Shannon Parkway.
Staff also reviewed examples of area cities' policies for
assessing reconstruction projects for single family residential.
Following further discussion on what is an appropriate amount for
assessing each residential lot based upon appraisals received by
the city on current reconstruction projects, a consensus was
reached by Council that $2,000 would be an appropriate amount.
Council then discussed whether streets considered as collector
streets should be assessed at a discounted rate from the $2,000
per single family residential lot. A consensus was reached by
Council that the assessed amount should be $1,500 per single
family residential lot or twenty -five (25 percent less than the
$2,000 amount.
MOTION by Willcox to set a single family residential assessment
amount at $2,000 and a single family residential assessment
amount for designated collector streets at $1,500 and that these
assessment amounts would not include watermain or other
infrastructure improvements. Second by Klassen. Ayes: Willcox,
Wippermann, McMenomy, Staats, Klassen. Nays: None.
Staff then recommended that public hearings to consider
assessments for Projects 206, 212, and 191 be scheduled for
October 19, 1993, at 8 :00 p.m.

Nays: 0.
Mayor McMenomy requested councilmember's comments regarding the
interim city administrator position. Each councilmember voiced
their concerns and comments and agreed that they were confident
that staff was capable of running the day -to -day operations of
the city, but someone should be designated as interim to be in
charge and coordinate activities.
Public Works Director Wasmund commented that if he was to be
appointed interim city administrator, that some of his
responsibilities would need to shift to his staff and he had
confidence that they were capable of handling the extra
responsibilities. Wasmund also stated that, if appointed, he
would request that discussions be held to discuss empowerment,
responsibilities, and exactly what the council expected of him.
Discussion continued and it was agreed to appoint Wasmund as
interim city administrator and proceed immediately in the search
for a new city administrator. Council also concurred that the
newly elected councilmembers should be involved in the
discussions and should appoint the new administrator.
MOTION by Klassen to appoint Ron Wasmund as interim city
administrator until such time as a new city administrator is
appointed. SECOND by Wippermann.
Councilmember Staats felt that Wasmund should be compensated for
the extra responsibilities being taken on. City Attorney Miles
suggested that two councilmembers sit down with Wasmund and
discuss all of the issues.
Mayor McMenomy called for a poll of the motion.
Ayes: McMenomy, Staats, Klassen, Wippermann. Nays: 0.

Klassen, Willcox, Wippermann, McMenomy, Nays: 0.
Mayor McMenomy requested comments from councilmembers regarding
the selection of a search firm to facilitate the selection of a
new city administrator. After considerable discussion consensus
was reached to have councilmembers and staff make search firm
recommendations (from both the private and public sector) to Sue
Walsh by Friday, October 8, 1993. In turn Ms. Walsh is to
contact each firm, collect information on each of them, and
present that information at a special council meeting.
MOTION by Willcox to set a special meeting for November 4, 1993
at 7:00 p.m. to interview search firms. SECOND by Klassen.
Ayes: Staats, Klassen, Willcox, Wippermann, McMenomy. Nays: 0.
As a result of a petition from T.H. 3 business owners strongly
opposing the new parking restrictions, Mayor McMenomy addressed
the issue and requested council consensus to direct staff to work
out a compromise. City Engineer Osmundson advised that the city
has no choice in the matter and that MnDot will construct left
turn lanes, resulting in no parking along Highway 3, no matter
what compromise the city and business owners may come to.
Council directed staff to meet with MnDot and downtown business
owners and address the situation. Council also requested that
staff post signs warning of the impending stripping and no
parking.
MOTION by McMenomy to adjourn. SECOND by Willcox. Ayes: 5.

October 19, 1993 at 7:30 p.m. in the Council Chambers at
Rosemount City Hall.
Mayor McMenomy called the meeting to order with Councilmembers
Klassen, Staats, Willcox, and Wippermann present. Staff present

Also in attendance was City Attorney Miles.
Mayor McMenomy called the meeting to order and led the group in

Additions to the agenda were made for New Business, Item 8. e.
Interim Administrator and Item 8. f. Traffic Sign Cambrian
Avenue Discussion. Finance Director May made an addition to the
Consent Agenda, Item 4. s. Flexible Spending Account.
Councilmember Klassen introduced the representative from RAP
(Rosemount Activity Program), Penny Butler. This group has been
actively seeking to improve the social problems encountered by
the youth of Rosemount. They have been working with the Parks
and Recreation Department, the Rosemount Elementary School,
Dakota County Drug Abuse Prevention, and People Against Violence
(PAVE). Most would agree that traditional means are not
effective for improving youth problems. RAP hopes to focus
groups in neighborhoods and turn kids to positive activities. A
task force has been formed and will meet regularly.
MOTION by Klassen to instruct staff to work with RAP to continue
to improve the project. Second by Wippermann. Ayes: Willcox,
Wippermann, McMenomy, Staats, Klassen. Nays: None.
Mayor McMenomy opened the Public Hearing for Wensmann Guide Plan
Amendment. The recording secretary noted that the Affidavits of
Posted and Published Notice were on file.
Planning Director Freese gave an overview of the 47 acre plat
with 5 acres to be used as commercial in the form of a
neighborhood convenience center. The location is the southeast
corner of County Road 42 and Diamond Path /Dodd Boulevard.
Herb Wensmann showed slides of the type of housing to be
developed. Some townhomes, deck homes, and single family homes
would be built.
Many residents living near this area voiced their concerns about
the development and felt the commercial development was not
necessary since commercial locations are already very close.
Most people when they bought on the boarders of this development
were told only single family homes would be built next to them.
The increase traffic with higher density development and
commercial development would endanger children. Many streets
would become through streets rather than the cul -de -sac
arrangement hoped for.

Attorney Reid Hansen, representing CMC Heartland Development,
asked about the MUSA concerns and was informed that this area is
serviced by the Empire Treatment Plant and has already been
included in the Comprehensive Guide Plan.
MOTION by Willcox to close the Public Hearing on the Wensmann
Guide Plan Amendment. Second by Staats. Ayes: Wippermann,
McMenomy, Staats, Klassen, Willcox. Nays: None.
Discussion was held regarding the notice process. Many residents
felt people were unaware of this development and suggested that a
sign be posted on the property affected so people would notice
it. Ron Wasmund noted that this will be taken under
consideration for future noticing but that all city procedures
had been followed correctly.
Wippermann noted that the commercial area proposed seemed similar
to "strip malls" which the comprehensive guide plan does not
encourage since it does not attach to the contiguous business
area. He suggested also that the overall mix of multiple family
in Rosemount needs to be examined.
Mayor McMenomy said the 5 acre commercial area is too large and
he would consider something smaller. The high density is not
desirable and consideration should be given to not have through
streets.
Following discussion, Council directed staff to redraft a
resolution designating the site as Urban Residential.
The meeting was recessed at 9:45 p.m. for a ten minute break.
Mayor McMenomy reconvened the meeting at 9:55 p.m.

Planning Director Lisa Freese reviewed a recent meeting with
Metropolitan Council regarding development and Rosemount's area
MUSA usage. Freese contends that the current numbers used for
Rosemount are not correct. Metropolitan Council said they will
look at areas on a community to community basis. They believe we
have enough MUSA until the year 2012, and staff is concerned
about the year 1998. Freese suggested an ad -hoc committee to be
actively meeting with Metropolitan Council and keep abreast of
its process.
Fire Chief Aker informed City Council that there was very little
interest from surrounding fire departments for supplying an
aerial truck on mutual aid. If aid would be required there would
be additional charges for their personnel to run the truck and
compensation of $500 per hour for the equipment. Eagan, Hastings
and Inver Grove Heights have aerial platform trucks. Aker did
not recommend any action at this time.
Ron Wasmund reviewed the legal contract with Fluegel, Moynihan,

would compress an already tight schedule, increase the risk of
errors, and the fact that grading has already begun on the

ROSEMOUNT CITY PROCEEDINGS
REGULAR MEETING
NOVEMBER 16, 1993
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 16, 1993 at 7:30 p.m. in the Council Chambers at
Rosemount City Hall.
Mayor McMenomy called the meeting to order with Councilmembers
Willcox, and Wippermann present. Councilmember Klassen was ill
and Staats was on vacation. Staff present were Aker, May,
Osmundson, Topitzhofer, Walsh and Wasmund. Also in attendance
was City Attorney Miles.
Mayor McMenomy called the meeting to order and led the group in
the Pledge of Allegiance.
Interim City Administrator Wasmund made an addition to the Agenda
under the Administrator's Report, Item 9., Christmas Decoration
Expense for City Hall.
Administrative Assistant Susan Walsh introduced Jim Brimeyer,
Brimeyer Group, Inc, who will be coordinating the search for a
new city administrator. Brimeyer reviewed the progressive
schedule for that selection. This next week interviews of City
Council and staff will be held to develop a profile of the
administrator's position. Council requested input from the
residents and city employees. A tentative meeting was set for
December 1st, a Wednesday evening, for this. The deadline for
applications will be January 8, 1994 and interviews by
February 13.
Fire Chief Scott Aker requested input from City Council Members
and the audience for direction on improving the Fire Department
response time. A comparison was made for response time in 1985
and in 1993. The average response time in 1985 was 5 minutes 45
seconds and in 1993 it was 8 minutes and 15 seconds. The
national response time goal and the one the Rosemount Fire
Department would like to have as a goal, is 6 minutes. The
increase in population has added traffic which is one reason for
the slow response time. The location of the Fire Station on
Brazil is centralized, but firefighters are not close by, so this
could cause some delay. Staffing the Fire Station around the
clock is very expensive and could increase the Fire Department
budget by 5 to 12 times.
Aker said that the purchase of a aerial fire truck would have to
be explored through other means. The May 1993 referendum
question for a truck was solidly turned down. This purchase
could be separate from any satellite station building project.
City Council concluded that a possible satellite station on the
western side of Rosemount would help response time. Mayor
McMenomy suggested a task force be formed after the first of the
year to find what the needs are and to discover the residents'
ideas.
Eldon Stauffer, 3190 Lower 147th Street West stated he was not
for the May, 1993 Fire Station referendum because he felt the
1

REGULAR MEETING
NOVEMBER 16, 1993
station was overbuilt and that the location would lower the fire
protection for eastern Rosemount. Stauffer would approve the
concept of a satellite station for western Rosemount. Stauffer
also felt that the aerial truck was overpriced.
Andre R. Menard, Sr., Supervisor of C.F. Industries, Inc. in
Rosemount said he deals with hazardous waste fire protection and
that equipment is extremely specialized and expensive just as the
aerial truck cost is.
Mayor McMenomy opened the Public Hearing for Trunk Highway 52
Corridor Study. The recording secretary noted that the
Affidavits of Posted and Published Notice were on file.
City Engineer Bud Osmundson reviewed the joint study with the
cities of Inver Grove Heights and Rosemount, Dakota County,
Minnesota Department of Transportation, and Koch Refining.
Engineer Bob Byers, of SEH, Inc., the project manager for the
Corridor Study, gave a brief overview. The study followed
Highway 52 from Concord Boulevard to the City of Coates. The
first phase would start next year by placing stop lights at 117th
Street. Frontage roads would be designed for less access
directly onto Highway 52. Phase 2 would include on /off ramps at
117th Street allowing through traffic on Highway 52. Phase 3
would likely be 20 years away and include more ramps and continue
down to Coates with frontage roads.
Andre Menard, C.F. Industries, Inc., noted that a frontage road
on the eastern side of Highway 52 from the curve going to
Hastings north to 117th Street would allow his company's 16,000
to 18,000 trucks to enter Highway 52 in a safer location. Right
now on the curve, traffic is often surprised by a slow moving
truck entering or crossing the traffic flow. Byers noted this
was a good suggestion.
Marlin Rechtzigel, 14727 Clayton Avenue, suggested that
industrial trucks use Rich Valley Boulevard to enter onto Highway
52. City Engineer Osmundson said that the road is not designed
to have that amount of weight on it and would need major
improvements.
Councilmember Willcox did not want the maintenance of the newly
formed proposed frontage roads to become the responsibility of
the City of Rosemount. Willcox noted that up keep and
maintenance is very expensive and time consuming. The proposed
resolution was amended to include the frontage road issue.
MOTION by Willcox to close the public hearing for Trunk Highway
52 Corridor Study. Second by Wippermann. Ayes: McMenomy,
Willcox, Wippermann. Nays: None.
MOTION by Wippermann to adopt A RESOLUTION RECEIVING THE TRUNK
HIGHWAY 52 CORRIDOR TRANSPORTATION STUDY as amended. Second by

Community Center Manager Topitzhofer introduced Dana Brodt, the
new Rental Coordinator for the Community Center. Council
welcomed Dana to Rosemount.
MOTION by Wippermann to approve the Consent Agenda as listed.
Second by McMenomy. Ayes: Wippermann, McMenomy, Willcox. Nays:
None.
City Engineer Osmundson discussed options for funding, doing a
feasibility study update, and design concepts for street lights,
road width, and underground utilities for 145th Street West
improvements Chili Avenue to Cameo Avenue. This project is of
major importance to the completion of the 12 inch watermain
replacement which will enhance fire fighting capabilities and
water pressure to the high school, armory, and residents in the
northwestern area of Rosemount. This is the final section which
will complete this project.
Osmundson noted that a survey will be sent to residents this week
and the results will be returned to Council on December 7, 1993.
Councilmember Wippermann noted that the Chamber of Commerce and
the Downtown Scoping Committee have been dealing with the
lighting issue. Engineer Brian Bourassa said that the estimated
cost for underground power lines in the original feasibility
study was $280,000. This would not include the expense to bring
it to each house. No action is required at this time.
MOTION by McMenomy to approve the job descriptions and salary
ranges for Building Attendant and Manager On Duty, and to
authorize posting and advertisement for these two positions, not
to exceed 2.87 combined full time equivalent. Second by Willcox.
Ayes: McMenomy, Willcox, Wippermann. Nays: None.
Interim City Administrator Wasmund requested Council's
participation in joining the community with decorating the
downtown area with garland and wreaths for the Christmas season.
Garland can be purchased for $.75 per foot or $1.47 per foot
installed. Wasmund recommended purchasing 100 feet of garland
and a wreath.
MOTION by Willcox to purchase Christmas decorations for the City
Hall from the Rosemount Chamber of Commerce. Second by

ROSEMOUNT CITY PROCEEDINGS
SPECIAL MEETING
NOVEMBER 18, 1993
Pursuant to due call a special meeting of the City Council of the
City of Rosemount was duly held on Thursday, November 18, 1993,
at 6:30 p.m. in the Council Chambers at City Hall.
Mayor McMenomy called the meeting to order with Councilmembers
Willcox, Wippermann, Staats, and Klassen present. Staff present
were: Knutsen, Topitzhofer, Aker, May, Walsh, Bechtold, Wasmund
and City Attorney Miles.
The Mayor led the group in the Pledge of Allegiance.
Mayor McMenomy said the purpose of the meeting was to review the
city budgets and give direction to staff.
Interim Administrator Wasmund commented on the latest changes in
the budget. Wasmund said the Operating Budget is very lean now
and he could not make any recommendation to cut services. Also
he noted that there was not funding available at this time for
the fire truck.
Discussion continued between City Council and department heads
allowing for clarification of revenues and expenditures.
Finance Consultant Dan O'Neill provided a letter explaining the
Master Lease Program which is used extensively by the State of
Minnesota to finance large cost items This program allows for
more flexibility and more time to pay off the lease, but is at a
higher interest rate. This may be a funding means for the
purchase of a new fire truck. Attorney Miles said the state has
used lease /purchase contracts since 1977. Legislation in 1985
was passed to allow the Master Lease Program to be used for
anything with a re -sale value. Council requested additional
information to determine what funding means might be used for the
purchase of a fire truck from these options: 1) Master Lease
Program, 2) Equipment Certificates, 3) pay up front, or 4)
referendum.
The Mayor noted that a task force will be formed after the first
of the year to investigate possibilities for a satellite fire
station and the purchase of a fire truck. Klassen said this
process must include the long range plan for the city as well.
City Council directed city staff to cut $20,000 from the
operating budget to be put into an undesignated CIP fund and to
have this information available far enough ahead of the December
2, 1993 Public Hearing for a thorough review.
MOTION by McMenomy to adjourn. SECOND by Willcox. Ayes: 5.
Nays: None. The meeting was adjourned at 8:00 p.m.

ROSEMOUNT CITY PROCEEDINGS
SPECIAL MEETING
DECEMBER 2, 1993
Pursuant to due call and notice thereof a special meeting of the
City Council of the City of Rosemount was duly held on Thursday,
December 2, 1993, at 8:00 p.m. in the Council Chambers at City
Hall, 2875 145th Street West.
Acting Mayor Wippermann called the meeting to order with
Councilmembers Willcox, Wippermann, Staats, and Klassen present.
City staff members included Interim City Administrator Wasmund,
City Attorney Miles, and Department Directors: Aker, Bechtold,
Knutsen, May, Topitzhofer, and Walsh.
Acting Mayor Wippermann led the group in the Pledge of
Allegiance.
Acting Mayor Wippermann opened the Public Hearing for the 1994
CIP and Operating Budgets. The recording secretary noted that
the Affidavits of Posted and Published Notice were on file.
Interim City Administrator Wasmund and Finance Director May will
give an overview of the 1994 budgets and levies. Questions will
be answered, then comments will be accepted from the audience.
City Council will then determine if the budgets and levies are
acceptable and if so, they will be presented at the December 7,
1993 Regular City Council meeting for approval.
Mayor McMenomy entered the meeting at 8:05 p.m.
Interim City Administrator Wasmund explained the Truth and
Taxation form that residents received contained the taxes for
county, school district, special taxing districts and city.
There have been structural changes in the formula for determining
property taxes. Assessed values are generally up and any
questions regarding this can only be answered by the Dakota
County Assessors Office. It is a state wide trend that
commercial and industrial values are down. Recent state and
federal mandates have added additional costs to local governments
and reduced funding that was formally available. Local community
taxes have remained very low the last two years, but this year
will require about an 8% raise in order to continue public
services such as police, fire and street maintenance.
Finance Director May noted that a public hearing has been set for
December 15, 1993 at 8:00 p.m. in the event that further review
of the budgets is needed and this will be determined tonight.
May further explained the tax rate /levy expenditure comparison,
our tax capacity rate comparison, city employee salaries, cost of
independent contractors, the Community Center transfers, and cost
of insurance premiums. The debt repayment for the
Armory /Community Center was approved by the community in 1988 and
1990.
Mayor McMenomy asked for public testimony.
Russ Johnson, 12245 Chinchilla Court, noted the St. Paul Pioneer
Press newspaper article showing administration costs very high
for Rosemount. Wasmund noted the study was in draft form only
1
ROSEMOUNT CITY PROCEEDINGS
SPECIAL MEETING
DECEMBER 2, 1993
and that no uniform way of accounting was used. Because
Rosemount has been growing steadily (since 1980 population has
increased 70 city costs
have gone up significantly. Other cities may be decreasing their
needs and the study did not show this.
Bob Geronomie, 3260 146th Street West, commented on the same
newspaper article which showed Rosemount 39% higher than other
cities in total spending. Geronomie said this is not acceptable.
Also he noted the Stanton Group which regulates wages and is used
widely in cities for setting comparable worth points and levels.
City Clerk Walsh noted the comparable worth points are under
revision and that the Stanton Plan is not used by Rosemount. The
new ranges and points will be available in 1994 and probably
implemented in 1995.
Joe Altendorfer, 12050 Bicarde Avenue, commented on the increase
in the unpaved roads budget. Wasmund said this allows for one
inch of gravel over the 15 miles of unpaved roads in Rosemount.
Altendorfer was not happy with the snow removal process. Wasmund
noted that priority routes have been set to increase safety and
efficiency.
Chuck Stauffer, 14587 Delft Avenue, requested more funding be
made available for a fire truck. Mayor McMenomy noted that a
task force is being formed in January. 1994, to make a
recommendation to City Council on a fire truck and possible fire
station. Stauffer also noted the funds going to the Community
Center. Director May said these funds are for community programs
and none are for the ice arena.
MOTION by McMenomy to close the Public Hearing for the 1994
Budgets and Levies. Second by Wippermann. Ayes: Willcox,
Wippermann, McMenomy, Staats, Klassen. Nays: None.
City Counciimembers commented on the budgets and levies:
Staats said he did not want services to be cut and felt that
staff was running a very tight budget already. He would support
the budgets.
Wippermann noted that the St. Paul Pioneer Press article was not
saying our taxes are higher. The League of Minnesota Cities does
a yearly comparison of 95 cities in Minnesota and Rosemount has
always been in the bottom third. This study is based on the same
value homes in each city and is accurate. Wippermann will
support the budgets.
Willcox feels that the average city only needs 5 employees per
1000 population. This puts Rosemount over by 20 Willcox will
not support the budget the way it is.

SPECIAL, MEETING
DECEMBER 2, 1993
Klassen commented that no one likes an increase in taxes, but
Rosemount is a growing community and an increase is expected.
Staff has shown they have worked with a bare bones budget for two
years and there is a need now to maintain streets and increase
police and fire protection. Klassen felt comfortable with the
budgets and levies and will support it.
McMenomy said he was not for the preliminary budget passed in
September, but he believes a prudent effort was made to cut where
possible. Staff has done a good fob, but McMenomy would hope
further refinement can be made in the next few years especially
when the city administrator's position is filled. McMenomy will
support this budget.
Interim Administrator Wasmund summarized the process and noted
that the 1994 Budgets and Levies will be presented at the
December 7,
1993 Regular City Council meeting for approval. If approved
then, the December 15, 1993 Public Hearing will not be needed.

Mayor McMenomy opened the Public Hearing for the Zoning Ordinance
Text Amendment: Business Park District. The recording secretary
noted that the Affidavits of Posted and Published Notice were on
file.
Assistant Planner Richard Pearson gave an overview of the
Business Park District. It uses a mixed use concept, combining
accessory or limited retail, office, light industrial, and
entertainment. When Metropolitan Council reviewed the
Comprehensive Guide Plan it indicated that general commercial
zoning would not be permitted in a business park. A designation
was requested with flexibility and yet offer some controls. This
zoning would be further described by BP -1, BP -2, BP -3, and BP -4.
These Business Park Districts could overlap for flexibility, but
performance standards would be based on existing Commercial and
Industrial Park standards that result from access or exposure to
arterial streets, location, and contiguous land uses.
The Planning Commission recommended adoption of this zoning
change.
Discussion followed with input from the audience and Port
Authority members. Some points made were whether or not
entertainment should be an element included in a business park.
An expert opinion was given by John Uban, a consulting planner,
noting that entertainment is a vital element to a business park,
it strengthens a retail draw and encourages other businesses.
Ron Carlson stated that there would be greater security risk with
outside inventory because of more activity in the area.
Minnesota Department of Transportation MNDOT) had been contacted
by Bob Muller on the safety of children crossing railroad tracks.
Mr. Tom Engler, MNDOT noted that bike /train accidents are very
rare and could only find record of one in Moorhead in 1987.
MOTION by McMenomy to close the Public Hearing for the Zoning
Ordinance Text Amendment: Business Park District. Second by
Willcox. Ayes: Wippermann, McMenomy, Staats, Klassen, Willcox.
Nays: None.
City Councilmembers commented. Staats did not want entertainment
in the business park. Wippermann felt the Planning Commission
had effectively planned for quality transition zones with
flexibility and he would be in favor of the amendment. Willcox
could not support a theater in the business park. Klassen was in
support of the amendment and felt the competition between the two
theater groups should not be a part of the city process. Mayor
McMenomy was not comfortable with the amendment and would like
further review of the business park district restrictions since
it would effect other properties in Rosemount.

Interim Administrator Wasmund updated Council on the installment
of Cable Casting of the City Council meetings in 1994. Start up
costs will be about $35,000. A donation of $15,000 for this
purpose needs to be used prior to July 1, 1994. Council
requested staff to find out the number of residents that now have
cable in the City of Rosemount being careful not to include
Valley Park residents.
Interim Administrator Wasmund gave an update on the Downtown
Scoping Committee Final Report and Recommendations of August 18,
1993. The Port Authority and Utilities Commission would like to
have a joint meeting and clarify some information in January.
Wasmund noted that a review should be made of the space needs for
the Public Works Department and Fire Department so that
consideration of use of the Navy Base area can be made. Parks
Recreation Director Bechtold said he has been in contact with the
Navy Base Commander and Susan Wineberg of the University of
Minnesota and that they are aware of the City's interest in this
parcel. This land area is indicated in the Master Parks Plan as
a future park. Klassen noted that the small pool on the Navy
Base does offer something for residents.

City Engineer Osmundson reviewed the Carrollton IV drainage
problem. Mr. Dan Hanscom was not satisfied with the Utilities

from the City to resolve the drainage problem before homes are
ruined. Engineering staff reported that there was no easy fix to

noted that the safety issue of this road should be a priority to
possible maintenance expense. Koch Refining Company has
indicating they will be willing to continue snow plowing of the

increase the number of miles of road in Rosemount and thereby
increase the amount of State Aid funding available.

Assistant Planner Pearson gave an overview of the variance as
granted by the Planning Commission acting as The Board of Appeals

garage. Planning Commission gave consideration to the set back
requirements, site lines for neighbors, and the right -of -way for
the sidewalk. The granted variance for the street side was 22
feet, side yard was 5 feet, and rear yard was 25 feet. The
actual variance was five feet from street side setback standards.

setback.

Wippermann did view the Atwood lot and agrees that further back
would be an improvement. Busho noted that Planning Commission
made a thorough site plan review and stands with their
recommendation. Anderson would like it moved back.
Assistant Planner Pearson noted that 19 feet is the standard

property line. This would cause a car parked there co stick out
into the right -of -way and the sidewalk area.

the Planning Commission regular meetings so that residents and
interested parties could more easily attend. Mayor McMenomy
agreed that he has had people complain that the meeting was too

Councilmembers regarding the training provided by the League of
Minnesota Cities seminars. All responded favorably. Busnc and

ROSEMOUNT CITY PROCEEDINGS
SPECIAL MEETING
JANUARY 10, 1994
Pursuant to due call and notice thereof a special meeting of the
City Council of the City of Rosemount was duly held on Monday,
January 10, 1994, at 6:32 p.m. in the Council Chambers at City
Hall, 2875 145th Street West.
Mayor McMenomy called the meeting to order with Councilmembers
Wippermann, Staats, Busho and Anderson present. City staff
included City Attorney Mike Miles, Economic Development
Coordinator John Miller, and Assistant Planner Richard Pearson.
Commissioners present were: Planning Cathy Busho, Bill
DeBettignies, and Lorrayne Ingram; Port Authority Kevin
Carroll, Ed Dunn.
Mayor McMenomy led the group in the Pledge of Allegiance.
Mayor McMenomy discussed the Business Park Zoning Text Amendment.
This zoning would be for the whole of Rosemount, not just the
city owned business park. The city owned business park can be
regulated additionally by covenants or development agreements.
Port Authority requested directives from City Council to know how
to market the city business park.
Assistant Planner Pearson explained an alternative of including
Conditional Use Permits (CUP) in the text amendment. This
process would require a public hearing which allows City Council
more control. Economic Development Coordinator Miller agreed the
CUP process would allow for the maximum control by City Council
with a 3/5 vote. The rezoning process requires a 4/5 vote by
Council.
Port Authority Chair Dunn disagreed. In the past, cities like
Apple Valley and Eagan have used this method, and after many
years the mixed uses does not finally arrive at a well planned
city. Dunn said this is not the answer.
Planning Commissioner /City Councilmember Busho noted that the
Planning Commission had thoroughly researched the Business Park
designations. Many of the areas noted were near residential
housing and so more restrictions were deemed necessary. Much
time and preparation went into this text amendment.
McMenomy noted that the Business Park (BP) designations of BP -1,
BP -2, BP -3, and BP -4 is not fair to other businesses or
developers. The Port Authority is acting as a private developer
for the city business park and the issues need to be separate as
the meeting intended.
Mayor McMenomy requested additional time to study the text
amendment and it was tabled until the next regular meeting.
City Councilmember Anderson requested that staff study the adult
entertainment regulations in Rosemount and report back to City
Council,

SPECIAL MEETING

Pursuant to due call and notice thereof a special meeting of the
Rosemount City Council duly held on January 25, 1994 at 7:00 p.m.
in the Council Chambers at City Hall, 2875 145th Street West.
Mayor McMenomy called the meeting to order with Council Members
Staats, Wippermann, Anderson, and Busho present. Staff members
present included Interim Administrator Ron Wasmund, Assistant
Planner Rick Pearson, Administrative Assistant Susan Walsh,
Community Center Manager Topitzhofer, Parks and Recreation
Director Bechtold and City Attorney Mike Miles..
Mayor McMenomy led the audience in the Pledge of Allegiance.
Mayor McMenomy called for any additions to the agenda. Interim
Administrator Wasmund added Item 4.a. Appointing a Minnesota
Valley Transit Authority representative.
Mayor McMenomy introduced the Business Park Zoning Text
Amendment. McMenomy felt there was not enough flexibility in the
permitted uses at this time and that the amendment might be too
restrictive to certain businesses.
Rick Pearson, Assistant Planner, explained that if a zoning
change is requested that more control is offered by using the
Planned Unit Development process. This requires a four fifths
vote by City Council for approval.
Councilmember Busho being on the Planning Commission for the past
two years, explained how they selected the twenty -two permitted
uses for the Business Park zoning. Some was limited in order to
keep a higher quality or light manufacturing uses for Business
Park zoning.
Councilmember Staats wanted Council to remember that it is not
known what type of businesses will bring proposals to Council.
Staats stated the City shouldn't be too restrictive. The city
business park is not so special that developers won't be
comparing other locations.
Interim Administrator Wasmund said zoning is the control. If a
developer requests re- zoning you have that control. If the
zoning is not somewhat restrictive you don't have the right to
say, "no" if it is one of the permitted uses.
Pearson noted that a paragraph could be added, "or other uses as
the Council deems fit."
Discussion continued with varied views. A compromise was made
adding gasoline stations with accessory business, i.e. car wash,
quick lubes, convenience store and adding day care, nursery, and
Montessori schools to the permitted uses.
