Wippennann, and Anderson present. Also present were City Attorney LeFevere, City
Administrator Burt, Community Development Director Wasmund, Senior Planner Mack, and
Assistant Planner Pearson.
The Consent Agenda was considered. Renee Stevenson, 14600 Cameo Avenue, asked why
an amendment to the selection policy for commissions and committees was made. The
wording was changed to give the City Council more latitude in the consideration of someone
who may have a conflict of interest. City Attorney LeFevere explained it is a disclosure
statement which addresses the issue of effectiveness if a conflict of interest exists. City
Administrator Burt noted that perhaps someone could have a conflict on a neighborhood
issue, but could effectively govern most any other issue that would come up.
MOTION by Wipperntann to approve the Consent Agenda. Second by McMenomy. Ayes:
Anderson, Wippennann, McMenomy, Staats, Busho. Nays: None.
City Administrator Burt reviewed the conflict of interest complaint filed by three residents
with the State of Minnesota Office of the State Auditor in regard to Mayor McMenomy's
participation in several city decisions. The three residents were Renee Stevenson, Harry
Willcox, and Marie Jensen. The State Auditor's Office investigated each issue and found no
improper conduct and has closed the file. Mayor McMenomy expressed appreciation to city
staff for all the time and research required to satisfy the residents questions. Mayor
McMenomy noted that at 110 time did he act alone but within the governing body, the City
Council.
Marie Jensen was unable to attend the meeting because of illness and requested Harry
Willcox to read a letter in her behalf. Willcox read the letter and it was placed in the
Clerk's File.
Community Development Director Wasmund reviewed the Knutson Services, Inc. recycling
contract. The City of Rosemount is number one for recycling the greatest amounts in Dakota
County. The recycling pilot program was started in 1988 in Rosemount and set the
foundation for many other city's programs. Knutson Services. Inc. has successfully fulfilled
all of the program goals. however. the funding is no longer in the budget. Knutson is
committed to serving the community without interruption and have agreed to provide the
same recycling service at no additional charge to the City. Dakota County has a hauler
reimbursement fee which will be paid directly to Knutson. This does not prohibit other
haulers to pick up recycling.
MOTION by McMenomy to approve and authorize execution of an Agreement for Recycling
Services between the City of Rosemount and Knutson Services, Inc. for the year 1995.
Second by Staats. Ayes: Wippennann, McMenomy, Staats, Busho, and Anderson. Nays:

REGULAR MEETING
DECEMBER 6, 1994
Councilmember Busho thanked the Rosemount Chamber of Commerce, the Rosemount
Garden Club, the Parks and Recreation staff, Public Works employees. Police Department
employees, and city hall staff for participating in the "Share the Spirit" Christmas parade and
celebration. It certainly was a success and many smiling faces could be seen through out the
days events. Hats off to all the organizers.
Mayor McMenomy opened the Public Hearing at 8:00 p.m. for Domestic Animal
Enclosures, Zoning Text Amendment. The recording secretary noted that the Affidavits of
Posted and Published Notices were on file. The Mayor reviewed public hearing procedure.
Assistant Planner Pearson noted the amendment originated with a citizens complaint
regarding setbacks for dog kennels and runs which often end up in the side yard and in view
of the neighbor and not the home owner. The Planning Commission reviewed the
amendment and for future development decided it would be a benefit in order to curtail
future complaints. The amendment reads as follows, "Enclosures confining domestic animals
to an area of less than half of a rear yard area must conform with the property line setback
standards for accessory buildings (Section 7.2.A.6)." All present kennels are grandfathered
in and only with improvements or replacement could they be relocated. Most residential
setbacks in general for accessory structures are ten feet from the property line. This
amendment is consistent with regulations used with accessory stnictures such as small sheds.
MOTION by McMenomy to close the Public Hearing for Domestic Animal Enclosures,
Zoning Text Amendment. Second by Wippermann. Ayes: McMenomy, Staats, Busho,
Anderson, Wippermann. Nays: None.
City Administrator Burt said that dog kennels can be a nuisance problem and that many
newer neighborhoods have covenants that protect neighbors, but older neighborhoods do not.
This amendment sets guidelines for future development.
Harry Willcox and Renee Stevenson disagreed with the amendment.
MOTION by Anderson to adopt ORDINANCE B -50, APPENDING THE CITY OF
ROSEMOUNT ZONING ORDINANCE (Ordinance B). Second by Wippennann. Ayes:
Staats, Busho, Anderson, Wippennann, McMenomy. Nays: None.
MOTION by Busho to adjourn the meeting. Second by Wippermann. Ayes: Busho,
Anderson, Wippennann, McMenomy, Staats. Nays: None. The meeting was adjourned at

Plan for the Rosemount Redevelopment Project and Establishment of Tax Increment

the Affidavits of Posted and Published Notices were on file.
Community Development Director Wasmund gave a summary of the redevelopment of the
southwest corner of Highway 3 and County Road 42 into a series of commercial
establishments. Owners of Carlson Tractor Supply desire to develop the property for a
possible motel and restaurant. Carlson's are requesting the Port Authority to create a tax
increment district to assist with the financing of the project. The resolution provides the
vehicle with a wide range of variations possible to achieve redevelopment of this corner,
which is an "entry way" to the City. Staff noted that the site meets the "but /for" test for
statement of need and public purpose in that the buildings are sub- standard on the site and
there may he soil corrections needed. Once redeveloped the businesses there will add to the
tax base for the city. The Planning Commission reviewed the concept plan and recommends
approval. David Drown from Springsted, Inc. produced the TIF Plan.
Pat Pilstring, planning consultant for Carlson's, commented on the positive effects the TIF
District would play in the redevelopment of the site.
Renee Stevenson, 14600 Cameo Avenue, commented that there would not be taxes received
from this redevelopment for twenty years. Stevenson wondered why a grade separation
crossing for the railroad tracks was not being planned for. Staff noted that Dakota County
controls road improvements at that corner.
MOTION by McMenomy to close the Public Hearing for the Modification of the
Redevelopment Plan for the Rosemount Redevelopment Project and Establishment of Tax
Increment Financing District (TIF) No. 1 -2 and a TIF Plan therefor. Second by

Ron Carlson noted that a motel group approached them for redevelopment and they did not
feel their company was being moved out of town, but that that corner is no longer the best
site for a farm implement dealer because of recent development. There are no discussions
for relocation costs for Carlson's Tractor.

Mayor McMenomy opened the public hearing to consider termination of the Adventure
Zone Interim Use Permit.
The required affidavits were presented for the record.
Assistant Planner Rick Pearson advised that the Adventure Zone, a commercial paintball
business, is currently permitted as an interim use permit (IUP) in the General Industrial
District on Highway 55. On December 13, 1994, the Planning Commission
recommended that the IUP be terminated because of noncompliance with several
conditions of the permit. Pearson made note of a handout to the City Council from the
city building division which listed seven building code violations by the Adventure Zone
business. As background information, Pearson stated that the Adventure Zone and
another paintball business had previously operated for several years under a permit from
the city clerk. This permit was seasonal in nature and structured for uses or events that
could be conducted on undeveloped property.
Assistant Planner Pearson advised that in 1993 a request was made by the Adventure
Zone to expand the permit to include winter games; and because this implied year
around activities, the validity of a seasonal permit was reassessed because of
intensification of the use and the apparent impact of activity on the site. City staff has
ROSEMOUNT CITY PROCEEDINGS
REGULAR MEETING
JANUARY 17, 1995
found erosion which resulted from traffic and parking, pallets and debris accumulated on
the site and an 60 foot trailer had been parked. Pearson noted that the trailer is used
for equipment rental, concessions and admissions, and the building department considers
the occupancy to he commercial and not in compliance with the uniform building code.
Pearson advised trailers such as this one are prohibited by the zoning ordinance unless
related to ongoing construction.
The noncompliance issues by Adventure Zone were addressed by Pearson. Pearson
advised the IUP was granted with 13 conditions; and the required site work from the 13
conditions was explained to both paintball businesses. The noncompliance issues which
the Adventure Zone has made no effort to address are as follows: (1) no crushed rock
or alternative has been applied to the parking area to counter the effects of erosion; (2)
no improvements have been made to the entrance at TH 55 in accordance with Mn
DOT specifications; and (3) no attempt has been made to either bring the trailer into
conformance with the uniform building code or have it removed.
Brett Harvey, president of the Adventure Zone, next addressed the City Council. Mr.
Harvey expressed concerns that he was given only one day's notice of the December 13,
1994 Planning Commission meeting. He was informed of the Planning Commission
meeting by a letter from city staff dated December 9, 1994. Mr. Harvey stated he was
unsuccessful in contacting Assistant Planner Pearson prior to the December 13, 1994
Planning Commission meeting. Mr. Harvey further advised that his company did
respond to the conditions of the IUP by way of a packet of information sent to city staff
members Rick Pearson, Ron Wasmund and Tom Burt who were informed of Adventure
Zone's many concerns. Mr. Harvey felt his company did try to address the
noncompliance issues and these attempts, along with their concerns, were in the packet
of information sent to the city staff. Mr. Harvey also noted that it was impossible for his
business to address the site work issues during the winter months.
Mr. Harvey informed the council that his company was not fully informed about the
conditions, and he only had 39 days to satisfy all of the conditions. Upon receiving the
conditions, Mr. Harvey stated he had major concerns about what his company was
suppose to do; and these concerns caused him to furnish the packet of information to
city staff.
Mr. Harvey next addressed the compliance issues presented by Assistant Planner
Pearson. Mr. Harvey disputed the noncompliance matter of no crushed rock or
alternative. Harvey stated his company were not allowed to use an alternative such as
recycled concrete because city staff felt recycled concrete would have to be maintained
on an annual basis. Mr. Harvey felt the maintenance issue should be up to him and
recycled concrete was a good alternative. With regards to improvements to the entrance
of his business, Mr. Harvey stated this could not be addressed until the gravel issue was
resolved. Regarding the trailer, Mr. Harvey implied that prior to the interim use permit
3

city staff told him it was acceptable to have a trailer as long as it wasn't a permanent
structure; and therefore he attempted to comply with the original permit.
MOTION by Busho to close the hearing. Second by McMenomy. Ayes: Wippermann,
McMenomy, Busho, Anderson. Nays: None.
Council discussed the appropriateness of allowing the owner of the Adventure Zone to
provide additional comments in writing before taking action on the termination at the
next Council meeting. Council then asked Assistant Planner Pearson to address Brett
Harvey's comments.
Pearson advised that correspondence dating back to 1993 indicates that the building
department had advised the owner of the Adventure Zone on the noncompliance of the
trailer. Pearson didn't believe dialog had been held between city staff and Mr. Harvey
on how to bring the trailer into compliance with the uniform building code. With
regards to the zoning ordinance, Pearson felt the trailer could be brought into
compliance, and one issue that would have to be addressed would be access to the trailer
for Adventure Zone customers. Pearson stated the permit allows for alternatives to
crushed limestone with the approval of the city engineer. Assistant Planner Pearson
advised the Council that the packet of information provided by Adventure Zone did not
address reasons why Adventure Zone could not conform to the conditions. City staff
suggested several times that if Adventure Zone could provide staff with a copy of the
permit application or other correspondence with MnDOT that the City would consider
extending the deadline for compliance. It was also suggested to the owners of Adventure
Zone that the deadline for compliance would possibly be extended if they provided proof
of looking at alternatives to the crushed rock or trailer issue. In summary, Assistant
Planner Pearson felt the owners were given significant concessions to normal
requirements with conditions of the IUP. Pearson added the other painthall operation
has complied with all of the conditions, and they feel they are being treated unfairly
because they complied and the Adventure Zone has not.
At this time in the hearing Mr. Harvey was asked if he had any further comments. Mr.
Harvey advised he did not.
MOTION by McMenomy to direct staff to prepare findings of fact that will support the
termination of The Adventure Zone Interim Use Permit and to allow The Adventure
Zone to provide written statements to the City Council before the next City Council
meeting. Second by Wippermann. Ayes: McMenomy, Busho, Anderson, Wippermann.
Nays: None.

ROSEMOUNT CITY PROCEEDINGS
REGULAR MEETING
FEBRUARY 7, 1995
The agenda was not changed, however, cor.ec,lions were made to Item 4.m. changing the bid
opening date to March 3, 1995; and Item 7.a. Parks and Recreation by -laws were revised.
The Metropolitan Mosquito Control District, represented by Dave French, Supervisor and
Pete Whebble, Foreman. gave a presentation on the operations and control of mosquitos.
The District Headquarters is here in Rosemount and staff there is willing to help residents
with questions about mosquitos and their life cycles. Control is easiest in the larvae stage of
development before the mosquito is airborne. There are about 15 species that are dangerous
to humans and domestic animals because they can transmit a variety of diseases. Cattail
marshes will be treated this month. Much of the winter is spent mapping areas and finding
low spots that hold water which can produce mosquitos. The treatments used are
methoprene, an insect growth regulator in briquet or pellet form, Bacillus thuringiensis var.
israelensis. a natural soil bacteria in dry form applied by hand or helicopter. and perniethrin
and resmethrin made from the chrysanthemum flower. Metropolitan Mosquito Control
District works hard to control the pesky mosquito so that residents can enjoy the beautiful
Minnesota summers without too much irritation from them.
Acting Mayor Wippermann opened the Public Hearing for Wensmann Seventh Addition:
Planned Unit Development (PUD), Preliminary Plat and Rezoning. The recording secretary
noted that the affidavits of posted and mailed notice were on file.
Assistant Planner Pearson reviewed the proposed Wensmann Seventh Addition which has 51
single level townhouse units and 30 single family lots. The Planning Commission approved
the PUD and preliminary plat on January 10th and 24th, 1995. Pearson recommended
tabling the rezoning portion of the request pending approval of the final plat. Wippermann
noted that the over all density was lowered from the original plan. Anderson asked about
separation from County Road 42 and Pearson replied that landscaping and increased setbacks
are to be used. Overall, the landscaping is three times more than required.
Busho noted that the use of a public informational meeting with this development worked
well and would encourage such meetings with future developments.
MOTION by Staats to close the Public Hearing for Wensmann Seventh Addition: Planned
Unit Development and Preliminary Plat. Second by Wippermann. Ayes: Wippermann,
Staats, Busho, Anderson. Nays: None.

SEVENTH ADDITION PLANNED UNIT DEVELOPMENT AND PRELIMINARY
PLAT AND SETTING OUT THE CONDITIONS FOR FINAL PLAT APPROVAL.
Second by Anderson. Ayes: Staats, Busho, Anderson, Wippermann. Nays: None.
Discussion ensued regarding the Consent Agenda. Councilmember Wippermann requested a
change to the minutes of January 17, 1995 on page one, paragraph 5, by adding the word
"negative" in regard to the impact of the Metropolitan Airport Conunission's planning
process.
Councilmember Busho noted that Item 4.j. reporting final payment of the Highway 3
Improvements project near the National Guard Armory/Community Center still has the
orange silt fences to be removed. Public Works Director Osmundson noted that he would
follow up on the removal of the fencing.
MOTION by Anderson to approve the Consent Agenda with the noted change to the
January 17, 1995 minutes and the corrected date of the bid opening in Item 4.m. to March 3,
1995. Second by Wippermann. Ayes: Busho. Anderson, Wippermann, Staats. Nays:
None.
Assistant Planner Pearson introduced findings of fact supporting the termination of the
Interim Use Permit for the operation of the Adventure Zone. a splatball gaming operation, at
1826 55th Street East. Building Inspector Heitnkes sited non compliance with the conditions
set in 1994. Brett Harvey, President of the Adventure Zone said that communication
between the Dakota County Department of Transportation, city engineers, and himself was
slow and he didn't know how to proceed.
City Attorney LeFevere noted that if there is truly non compliance, then renewal of or
issuing a new Interim Use Pennit would not be proper process. Due to new evidence and
the willingness of the owner to move the trailer off the lot it would be more proper to give
the applicant an extension. Council discussed the possibility of having a performance bond
and a deadline for compliance.
Council determined that staff should proceed to work with Mr. Harvey on a compromise, but
not allowing his business to open until compliance is attained. This extension is acceptable
only because the owner shows willingness to comply. This "eleventh hour situation" is not a
positive situation and will not likely be repeated. Council set a deadline of June I. 1995.
MOTION by Busho to table a resolution approving the findings of fact terminating the
Interim Use Pennit of the Adventure Zone. Second by Wippermann. Ayes: Anderson,
Wippennann, Staats, Busho. Nays: None.
Parks and Recreation Director Topitzhofer presented the by -laws for the Parks and
Recreation /Community Center Committee. This combined two commissions into one. The
changes in the by -laws allow the membership size to change from seven to five members and
added a clause that requires the City Council's approval for amendments to the by -laws.

Anderson. Nays: None.
Parks and Recreation Director Topitzhofer reviewed a complaint of an injury resulting from
sliding at Connemara Park. Sliding was not an intended use of the park and due to the risk
it is recommended to prohibit sliding temporarily until staff can further evaluate the situation.
Signs will be posted on January 31, 1995 and the police department will be notified and

Public Works Director /City Engineer Osmundson reviewed the options for the proposed
extension of Diamond Path south of Dakota County Road 42 due to the development of
Wensmann 7th Addition. Council directed Osmundson to proceed with the cul -de -sac option
for December Trail and wait until joint participation with Dakota County and Apple Valley
was available for the extension of Diamond Path.
Public Works Director /City Engineer Osmundson explained that through a formula each city
is allocated a certain number of miles to designate as Municipal State Aid Streets (MSA)
which makes that street eligible for receiving MSA funds for construction and maintenance.
The past two years development within Rosemount has added approximately 3.8 miles to our
system, plus the three miles of County Road 38 turnback resulting in an additional 1.16 miles
which can be added to our MSA system.
MOTION by Wippermann to authorize staff to request the addition of 1.16 miles described
as Chippendale Avenue from CSAH 42 to 145th Street (length 2,700') and 132nd Street from

ROSEMOUNT CITY PROCEEDINGS
REGULAR MEETING
FEBRUARY 21, 1995
Pursuant to due call and notice thereof a regular meeting of the Rosemount City Council was
duly held on Tuesday, February 21, 1995 at 7:30 p.m. in the Council Chambers at City
Hall, 2875 145th Street West.
Mayor McMenomy called the meeting to order with Councihnembers Staats, Busho,
Anderson and Wippennann present. Also present were City Attorney LeFevere, City
Administrator Burt. Community Development Director Wasmund, Senior Planner Mack,
Parks and Recreation Director Topitzhofer, and Public Works Director /City Engineer
Osmundson, Finance Director May, and Fire Chief Aker. Also in attendance was a fmancial
consultant, Dan O'Neill from Springsted.
The agenda was amended by adding Item 3.a. S.O.A.R. Update, Item 6.b. Lot 7, Block 1,
Lan -O -Ken Addition by Laxman Sundae, and Item 6.b. McAndrews Road Speed Limit by
Councihnember Wippermann. On the Consent Agenda, Item 4.f. was pulled, Rosemount
High School Graduation Party Donation.
Kevin Carroll represented S.O.A.R. and discussed an Airport Bill in the House of
Representatives for the State which would require further study of the remote runway
concept. The Metropolitan Airport Commission has authorized $50,000 toward additional
consultant fees to study this. This would eliminate some of the noise problems for
Minneapolis and possibly bring them to Rosemount. This idea entails transporting
passengers and baggage back and forth from the main terminal to remote runways in Dakota
County. Intentionally, the wording of this bill refers to a search area rather than a selected
site. The first legislative hearing will be February 23. 12:30 p.m. in Room 200 of the State
Office Building in St. Paul. Dee Long is sponsoring the bill. S.O.A.R. will testify there.
The City Council had approved a resolution calling for completion of the study on schedule.
If another resolution is appropriate Mr. Carroll will advise the City Council so Council's
disapproval can be counted.
MOTION by Wippermann to approve the Consent Agenda with the removal of Item 4.f.
Rosemount High School Graduation Party Donation. Second by Anderson. Ayes:
McMenomy, Staats, Busho, Anderson, Wippennann. Nays: None.
Finance Director May presented the Equipment Lease /Purchase. Proposals were received
from three firms of which the low bidder was FBS Investment Services. Council concluded
that the fire truck should be pulled from requested items, lowering the amount needed by
$600,000. The fire truck will be considered at a later time. May estimated that property
taxes may increase 2% to 3%. This leasing method is cheaper and easier than issuing bonds
and there is no balloon payment as with some leasing methods.
MOTION by Anderson to direct staff to work with FBS Investment Services, Inc. to enter
into a lease /purchase agreement to purchase equipment for the City of Rosemount and to
exclude the fire truck. Second by Busho. Ayes: Busho, Anderson, Wippermann,
McMenomy. Nays: Staats.
Parks and Recreation Director Topitzhofer noted that George Mikutowski, recently hired as
Arena Manager, has resigned and elected to return to his former position at Victory

his duties.
MOTION by McMenomy to accept the resignation of George Mikutowski as Arena Manager
and to hire Tom Murphy for the position of Arena Manager. Second by Wippermann.
Ayes: Busho, Anderson, Wippermann, McMenomy, Staats. Nays: None.
Laxman Sundae of 2637 2635 132nd Court West, requested a refund of a security deposit
for repair to his septic system in the amount of $8000. Mr. Sundae submitted a written
statement to the Clerk's File and to Council. Sundae said he felt the septic system was
flooded from several thousand gallons of water the fire department used to extinguish a house
fire on March 28, 1993. Since that time the septic system has been working well and he has
researched the system and the placement of its three tanks. Sundae's son, Alexie Sundae
now lives there and verified the repairs to the roof and that the septic system was flooded
after the fire.
Council consensus was to have city staff review the information and report back to the City
Council in April.
Councilmember Wippermann expressed concem that the County has raised the speed limit on
McAndrews Road in Rosemount. Also, the problem of varying speed limits on McAndrews
Road between Highway 3 and Cedar Avenue. The Apple Valley portion has a lower speed
limit even though there are no driveways onto McAndrews Road and there are developed
walkways. The Rosemount portion has driveways and shoulder walkway and yet the speed is
higher. The records also show eight traffic incidents, seven which involved deer. Staats
stated he felt the speed for all county roads should be 50 mph. Council requested staff to
check into the recent changes and find out what Dakota County criteria is.
City Administrator Burt reminded City Council and the audience about the Lean II, Law
Enforcement Awareness Night on March 8, 1995, at 6:30 p.m. Councilmember Busho noted
the Shamrock Award Dinner on March 11, 1995 at 6:00 p.m.
MOTION by McMenomy to adjourn the meeting. Second by Wippermann. Ayes:

ROSEMOUNT CITY PROCEEDINGS
REGULAR MEETING
MARCH 7, 1995
Pursuant to due call and notice thereof a regular meeting of the Rosemount City Council was
duly held on Tuesday, March 7. 1995 at 7:34 p.m. in the Council Chambers at City Hall.
2875 145th Street West.
Mayor McMenomy called the meeting to order with Councilmembers Anderson, Busho,
Staats and Wippermann present. Also present were City Attorney LeFevere. City
Administrator Burt, Community Development Director Wasmund, Senior Planner Mack,
Assistant Planner Pearson, Public Works Director /City Engineer Osmundson, and Fire Chief
Aker.
One item was pulled from the Consent Agenda, Item 4.f. Kelley Trust Prairie Acquisition
and moved to Item 8.c. for discussion. No further changes were made to the agenda,
however some additional infonnation for clarification was added to the Clerk's File; a
revised Keystone Development Agreement, a revised resolution for access on Highway 3,
and revised minutes of Fcbnrary 21, 1995.
Senior Planner Mack has been active in following House File 385 which is in support of the
"remote runway option" that Metropolitan Airport Commission has showed interest. Kevin
Carroll also attended the public hearing for H.F. 385 and noted that Rosemount is mentioned
many times and the University of Minnesota land in Rosemount when speaking of location.
It seems that the metropolitan area is attempting to move their noise problem with the airport
down to Rosemount. S.O.A.R. is against remote runways in Rosemount as are many
surrounding cities in Dakota County. If no further public hearings are set for this, H.F. 385
will likely die. Council thanked Carroll and Mack for their involvement and requested
updated information when it is available.
Ed Howard, from the Fire Task Force, presented four recommendations: 1) a minimum of
two fire facilities are necessary for current and future fire needs of the city; 2) construct a
new functionally designed and equipped facility that will last at least 50 years that should not
exceed 14.000 square feet at a cost of approximately $1.7 million based on architectural
projections and current costs. The location should be on the North East corner of Shannon
Parkway and Dodd Blvd. This facility should contain six bays, administration area, general
areas, support areas and assimilate with the surrounding neighborhood; 3) build a fire facility
on the eastern side of the community as soon as it is feasible and until that tune maintain the
current fire facility on Brazil Avenue; and 4) City Council should start the process of
planning a referendum for the fall of 1995 and select an architect to begin finalization of
plans as soon as possible.
Councilmember Busho asked if the Fire Task Force was prepared to support and "sell" the
fire station recommendations. Howard confirmed he and the group support the building of a
fire station and they would like to keep involved when the architectural drawings are finned
up and a marketing plan is ready.
Mayor McMenomy thanked Ed Howard, the four members present, and all the remaining
Fire Task Force members for their direction and told them the City Council wants and
appreciates their future involvement in the process for purchasing and building the fire
station. City staff will keep them advised.

REGULAR MEETING
MARCH 7, 1995
Karen Griffin, 3786 145th Street West, spoke in support of the fire station. Griffin said she
had visited several fire stations and found by saving two minutes in the response time much
property damage and often lives can be saved. The location proposed is near 145th Street
West and Shannon Parkway and study showed that two minutes would be saved in response
time. She urged City Council to accept the recommendations of the Fire Task Force.
MOTION by McMenomy to approve the Consent Agenda without Item 4.f. Kelley Trust

Mayor McMenomy opened the Public Hearing for Mallard Pond Administrative Plat.
The recording secretary noted that the affidavits of posted and mailed notice were on file.

is not necessary given the balanced density of the two lots at the one per ten acre agricultural
residential density. Mr. Winkler has meet with staff and agreed to move the septic system to

Street to see where the best placement of an access may be for all businesses.
Councilmember Staats inspected Highway 3 and the theater area and said there is a blind spot
on the curve and that safety should he a prune factor.

Community Development Director Wasmund reported that there was an irregularity in the
bids received for the Biscayne Avenue Street and Utilities Improvement. City Project 249.
Richard Knutson Incorporated (RKI) is the apparent low bidder and Ryan Construction is the
second low bidder. Attorney Tim Cook of Moore, Costello and Hart, representing RKI
noted that the City Council has the right to waive any irregularity at their discretion. The
Addendum that was not addressed by RKI was recognized as a clarification clause that did
not add quantity or cost to the project.
The concern of staff was for any potential delay of the project since outside developers are
dependent on the utilities improvements for building as soon as possible. If litigation would
follow a bond could be required for any damages from an injunction. If all bids were
rejected now an additional 21 days for re- advertisement would be required.
Wasmund recapped three options for Council: 1) reject all bids, re- advertise, May 2
contract award: 2) table action; or 3) award the hid to RKI. Engineering Consultant Dave
Simons of SEH Engineering said that the irregularity was minor and not material in nature.

proceedings. Police Chief Knutsen reported that in the past month the middle school, high

increases because of budget restraints now and since the agreement was for five years
Anderson voiced concerns of pledging amounts that far in the future.
Administrative Assistant Walsh said she appreciated Councilmember Anderson's concerns.
Walsh provided additional infonnation on surrounding city's fire department pay. Each fire
department is organized differently so comparisons can be difficult. The salary plan was
proposed and recommended by Fire Department membership. It would allow the fire
department to have an increase for 1995 and the 1995 salaries would not increase for the
next four years. Fire Chief Scot Aker infornied the Council that the proposed salary plan
would be a cost savings over the next five years as opposed to possibly asking for annual
adjustments on a yearly basis. Council asked for clarification on several issues by the Fire

Senior Planner Mack reviewed the Rechtzigel Agricultural Lot Division request for 90 acres
on the southwest corner of CSAH 42 and TH 52. The Planning Commission recommended
denial of the request based on denied variances necessary to support the lot division. Mr.
and Mrs. Rechtzigel indicated that they would appeal the decision from the Board of Appeals
and Adjustments to City Council on June 6th, 1995. Therefore staff is recommending a
continuance on the lot division until Council hears the varience appeal.

as set out in the "Minnesota Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices Studies have
shown that when there are too many signs they are often ignored and when added stops are
made drivers speed up to make up the lost time. To avoid this situation staff would like to
conduct another investigation.
MOTION by McMenomy to install a stop sign. Due to lack of a second the motion was
dropped. Discussion followed.
MOTION by McMenomy to receive the petition and direct staff to conduct a traffic study to
determine warrants for traffic control. Second by Wippermann. Ayes: Staats, Busho.
Anderson, Wippermann, McMenomy. Nays: None.
Mayor McMenomy requested planning staff to work with the developer on cleaning up the
northwest corner of Shannon Parkway and 160th Street.
Councihnember Wippermann questioned a Parks and Recreation Committee agenda item
which suggested a joint meeting with the Parks and Recreation Committee and Rosemount
Partnership Program to be called by the City Council. All though the communication idea is
good, the perception that City Council is conducting the meeting would not be valid. The
City Attorney advised that the "Open Meeting Law" should be considered here. City
Council decided not to take any action for a formal meeting to be called. Staff was directed
to prepare a letter to the Parks and Recreation Committee that City Council decided that a
park referendum is not appropriate because of the financial conditions at this time.

ROSEMOUNT CITY PROCEEDINGS
REGULAR MEETING
JUNE 6, 1995
The Consent Agenda was amended by removing 4.q. Keystone Addition Concept Planned Unit
Development and Preliminary Plat: Set Public Hearing and moving 4. 1. Leprechaun Days
Service Agreement to New Business, Item 11.e., for discussion.
Penny Butler, Rosemount's representative for Dakota Alliance for Prevention (DAP) gave an
overview of DAP's goals and programs. It is a 25 member partnership in Dakota County
working off a 5 year grant which will run out in December of 1996. The City Council's
support and interest is very important to keep this program on- going. Part of DAP's goals are
to educate and motivate and raise public awareness. Kids need to be aware of healthy choices
especially when it involves drugs or violence. Prevention is nearly always a long term goal
and can't be achieved in just a few years. Council thanked Ms. Butler for her involvement
and good work.
Public Works Director Osmundson reviewed a meeting with Minnesota Department of
Transportation (MNDOT) for accesses onto Highway 3 between County Road 42 and 160th
Street. GTI Theaters had requested an access onto Highway 3 from their parking lot which
was denied by MNDOT because of safety due to the curve and railroad bridge. An access
near CR42 would be allowed on the south property line of Carlson's Tractor, Inc., and it
would require both a right and left turn lane off of Highway 3. An extension of Canada
Avenue would need a railroad crossing so both cost and liability would be high. An access
near 160th Street near Johnson Welding would be allowed only if Canada Avenue is not
extended across Highway 3. This would also require turn lane construction. Accesses to the
east will be considered as development occurs.
MOTION by Wippermann to approve the Consent Agenda with a change to page 4 of the City
Council minutes of May 16, 1995 and having two Items pulled: Items 4.1 Leprechaun Days
Service Agreement and 4.q Keystone Addition Concept Planned Unit Development and
Preliminary Plat: Set Public Hearing. Second by Busho. Ayes: Staats, Busho, Anderson,
Wippennann, McMenomy. Nays: None. Item 4.1. was moved to New Business for
discussion and Item 4.q. will be on the next City Council agenda.
Administrative Assistant Walsh explained the first draft of the Charitable Gambling Ordinance
and responses that were received from organizations and businesses. One regulation of the
proposed ordinance will require charitable gambling organizations to expend annually 80% of
1

REGULAR MEETING

its donations within Rosemount or in cities contiguous to Rosemount's boundaries. Discussion
was held on how the organizations could substantiate this requirement and what reports should
be filed with the City Clerk. The Charitable Gambling Ordinance will be brought back to City
Council at the next regular meeting.
Mayor McMenomy opened the Public Hearing for the Solberg Aggregate Mineral Extraction
Pennit Renewal for 1995. The recording secretary noted that the affidavits of posted and
mailed notice were on file.
Assistant Planner Pearson reviewed the renewal of the Solberg Aggregate Mineral Extraction
Pennit. The Planning Commission recommended its approval subject to conditions. Marlin
Rechtzigel, 14727 Clayton Avenue, asked about the setbacks for the extraction pit on the
Solberg property which are 25 feet to Highway 55 on the west side and 30 feet on the north
side.
MOTION by McMenomy to close the Public Hearing for the Solberg Aggregate Mineral
Extraction Permit Renewal for 1995. Second by Wippermann. Ayes: Busho, Anderson,
Wippermann, McMenomy, Staats. Nays: None.
MOTION by Wippermann to adopt A RESOLUTION APPROVING TILE SOLBERG
AGGREGATE 1995 MINERAL EXTRACTION PERMIT WITH CONDITIONS.
Second by Staats. Ayes: Anderson, Wippermann, McMenomy, Staats, Busho. Nays: None.
Mayor McMenomy opened the Public Hearing for JoAnn and Marlin Rechtzigel Appeal of
Board of Appeals Variance Denial at 14727 Clayton Avenue. The recording secretary noted
that the affidavits of posted and mailed notice were on file.
Assistant Planner Pearson reviewed the Rechtzigel request to divide their farmstead into a 10
acre parcel with the home and one out building and an 80 acre parcel intended to he farmed by
their son. This would cause three variances: the lot width frontage is 200 feet rather than 300
feet and two side yard setback variances in order to keep the one out building with the house.
The size of the 10 acre lot allows the owner to maintain the green acres tax reduction program.
JoAnn Rechtzigel, 14727 Clayton Avenue, noted that three generations have farmed this area
for 43 years and they desire to have their son continue. The surrounding land use is farming
and this lot split would not change any accesses or neighboring lot lines. Mrs. Rechtzigel
requested a waiver of the $100 variance fee.
Dennis Ozment, 3275 145th Street East, a neighbor of Mr. Rechtzigel, commented in favor of
the lot split noting that keeping it agricultural is consistent with the land use.
Staff said that the lot width frontage was changed when the on ramp to Highway 55 from
County Road 42 road improvement was made. This could be considered a hardship and justify
that variance.

REGULAR MEETING
JUNE 6, 1995
Otto Ped, 4992 145th Street East, a neighbor of' Mr. Rechtzigel, commented in favor of the lot
split noting that they should be able to continue the Agriculture Preserve Policy.
Mark DeBettignies, 2733 Upper 138th Street West, a Rosemount Planning Commissioner,
reminded City Council that they would be voting only on the three variances tonight.
MOTION by McMenomy to close the Public Hearing for JoAnn and Marlin Rechtzigel
Appeal of Board of Appeals Variance Denial at 14727 Clayton Avenue. Second by
Wippermann. Ayes: Wipperrnann, McMenomy, Staats, Busho, Anderson. Nays: None.
Wippermann said that the goals noted in the Comprehensive Guide Plan are to continue long
term agricultural use and have agricultural use on lands having a future commercial/industrial
zoning possibility such as Rechtzigel's land. The frontage issue is clearly a hardship due to the
Highway 55 on ramp. The building variances are internal to the property and do not affect
any neighbors. The Planning Commission followed the Zoning Ordinance correctly and did
their job well. Now the City Council has the opportunity to be more flexible and examine the
individual specifics to this appeal.
City Attorney LeFevere noted the support of the variances needs to be listed in a "finding of
facts" so a precedent is not set. The hardships need to be articulated.
MOTION by McMenomy to direct the City Attorney to prepare findings of fact to support
granting the variances for JoAnn and Marlin Rechtzigel, 14727 Clayton Avenue, agricultural
lot subdivision request. Second by Wippermann. No poll was taken. Discussion ensued.
The motion was amended to: MOTION by McMenomy to direct the City Attorney to prepare
findings of fact to support granting the variances for JoAnn and Marlin Rechtzigel, 14727
Clayton Avenue, agricultural lot subdivision request including conditions. Second by
Wippermann. Ayes: Staats, Busho, Wippermann, McMenomy. Nays: Anderson.
Mayor McMenomy opened the Public Heating for JoAnn and Marlin Rechtzigel Agricultural
Lot Subdivision Request (14727 Clayton Avenue). The recording secretary noted that the
affidavits of posted and mailed notice were on file.
Assistant Planner Pearson noted that in light of the motion just made on the Rechtzigel lot
subdivision there should be some conditions attached to the approval possibly including
payment of two units of park dedication, dedication of cross access easements for shared use
of existing driveways, and approval of the subdivision by the Dakota County Plat
Commission, and a G.I.S. fee of $50.00 per lot. Staff recommends tabling the public hearing
until the conditions can be negotiated with the Rechtzigels.

Nays: None.
Assistant Planner Pearson reviewed the request by Hampton Development Corporation for a
Planned Unit Development, preliminary plat and rezoning for Shannon Pond East
Development. Jim Allen and Gary Bergquist have planned 77 single family lots on a 38 acre
parcel on the northeast corner of Shannon Parkway and 160th Street. Osmundson noted that
easements are needed into the ponding area since this is not a city owned pond. The
development is planned in phases with the first beginning in the northwest comer of the parcel
with 20 to 30 homes.
Bill Deane, 15670 Crestone Court, commented that the land is quite low for building.
Osmundson noted that grading will raise the area to the level necessary.
Gary Bergquist, Hampton Development Corporation, said that homes should be valued at
$152,000 to $190,000. Bergquist commented on the large amount of waste concrete
discovered that is being hauled away.

Assistant Planner Pearson reviewed the Planned Unit Development for Shannon Meadows
located near Hawkins Pond and 145th Street and Shannon Parkway. Developer Jack Gassner
is requesting smaller lot areas and width standards but providing open space and three ponds.
Kevin Reidelandall, RLK and Associates, noted that the home styles offer a wide variety of
homes.
Mr. Gassner noted that covenants have not yet been discussed and that home values should be
about $125,000 to $155,000.
John Hawkins, 4173 145th Street West, will be a neighbor to the Shannon Meadows
Development. He was in favor of the plat. Hawkins would like the larger pond near by to be
treated with a seal filler in order to have the pond retain water better.
MOTION by McMenomy to close the Public Hearing for the Shannon Meadows Residential
Planned Unit Development Concept Review. Second by Wippermann. Ayes: Busho,
Anderson, Wippermann, McMenomy, Staats. Nays: None.
The City Council voiced some concerns on the lot width and density and indicated they would
be in favor of the subdivision but with larger lots.
Renee Stevenson, 14600 Cameo Avenue, said that many people do not want a large lawn to
take care of. It is a new concept, but probably a good one.
City Attorney LeFevere advised it would be best to revert the concept plan for Shannon
Meadows back to the Planning Commission for changes to reduce variances.
MOTION by McMenomy to table the Shannon Meadows Residential Planned Unit
Development Concept Review and refer this back to staff and the Planning Commission to
revise the lot size and to reduce the number of variances after which it will be retumed to the
City Council for consideration. Second by Anderson. Ayes: Anderson, Wippermann,
McMenomy, Staats, Busho. Nays: None.
Finance Director May further reviewed the operations of the Deputy Registrar office in City
Hall and still recommends closing that office due to the budget restraints and staff reduction.
Councilmember Busho requested the Deputy Registrar office remain open because of the
service it provides for the residents. Once it would be closed the State has said that the City of
Rosemount would not be permitted to ever have another deputy registrar office.
Busho would like to see extended hours to better serve the residents.

and Leprechaun Days authorizing the Mayor and City Clerk to execute the Agreement.
Second by Anderson. Ayes: Anderson, Wippermann, McMenomy, Staats. Nays: None.

Otto Ped, 4992 145th Street East, asked to express his concern for the speeding cars on
County Road 42 and the frequent occurrence of passing on the right even though this is a bike
lane. Councilmembers Staats and Wippermann have noted the same thing on McAndrews
Road. Staff was requested to send letters to the county and state to possibly increase signage
(i.e. No passing on shoulder, Bike Lane) and further enforce vehicle laws.
Council discussed whether to extend the deadline for accepting port authority commissioner
applications or to set interviews for the June 20, 1995, meeting. Councilmembers agreed that
if no other applications are received, the deadline should be extended to June 23, 1995. If
more applications are received, the interviews should be scheduled to be held before the city
council meeting on June 20, 1995. If a port authority meeting is held that evening, then the

REGULAR MEETING
JUNE 20, 1995
The consent agenda was amended by adding McAndrews speed limit under new business and
pulling item 4.G. "No Parking" on 130th Street for discussion under new business.
Public Works Director Osmundson explained that because of a number of complaints on the
disrepair of sidewalks in the older part of Rosemount, funds have been encumbered for a repair
project this year. Staff has identified the areas to be repaired and has estimated that the project
will cost approximately $20,000. Requests for contractor quotations will be sent out.
Osmundson requested that council consider the fact that some of these sidewalks will be replaced
during the Cameo Avenue reconstruction project next year and advised that it may not make
sense to repair those sidewalks this year. Staff assured the city council that the Cameo Avenue
project was a number one priority in the 1996 budget and should take place. Council directed
staff to repair the Cameo Avenue sidewalks in -house with asphalt patching and replace the other
sidewalk panels identified as needing repair.
MOTION by Wippermann to approve the consent agenda with the removal of item 4.G.
SECOND by Staats. Ayes: Anderson, Wippermann, McMenomy, Staats, Busho. Nays: O.
Assistant Planner Pearson reviewed staff correspondence regarding the 30 -lot Shannon Meadows
Concept PUD/Preliminary Plat. Councilmembers discussed the need to study whether a small
easement can be obtained for a trail between some of the lots to Hawkins Pond. Staff advised
that the Parks and Recreation Committee will be asked to study this issue for recommendations.
Also discussed was whether the detention pond designated on the grading plan is sufficient to
support flooding, concerns regarding maintenance of Block 3, Lot 3 with its panhandle design,
and whether the PUD will regulate fences on the double fronted lots.
MOTION by McMenomy to approve the concept for Shannon Meadows Residential Planned
Unit Development subject to: 1) relocation of utilities and approval of grading and utility plans by
the City engineer, 2) granting approval of the minor variances to lot dimensional standards in
accordance with findings established in Section 12.2D of the City of Rosemount Zoning
Ordinance; 3) conformance with the City of Rosemount Zoning Ordinance requirements for final
development plan review for Planned Unit Development per Section 12.2; and 4) conformance
with the City of Rosemount Subdivision requirements for preliminary and final plat.

JUNE 20, 1995
Mayor McMenomy called for a three minute recess. Meeting reconvened at 8 p.m.
Mayor McMenomy opened the Public Hearing for the Eastbridge PUD Amendment Request.
The recording secretary advised that the affidavits of posted and mailed notice were on file.
Senior Planner Mack provided an overview of CMC Heartland's request to amend the Eastbridge
PUD condition requiring execution of an agreement with CP Rail to relocate their spur line to
Greif Brothers. Because most of the other conditions listed in the PUD have been met, this
amendment would allow CMC to proceed with final platting of their project. Mack explained that
the majority of the Planting Commission felt that this agreement is critical to the overall PUD
project design and therefore the amendment should be denied. Staff also recommended retaining
the condition as a means of ensuring that the spur line relocation issue will be resolved.
Statements were heard from the following audience members:
Harry Willcox, 14674 Danville Avenue West, requested clarification regarding the size and zoning
classification of Outlot E on the preliminary plat and voiced concern that the city should not get in
the middle of the conflict between CMC Heartland and the Soo Line Railroad.
Renee Stevenson, 14600 Cameo Avenue, questioned whether the spur line would be relocated at
CMC's expense or with city assistance, specifically TIF assistance.
Glen Sexton, Director of Construction for CMC, presented arguments for the approval of the
PUD amendment.
Larry Adelson, General Counsel for CMC, explained CMC's relationship with the Soo Line.
John Lamoureaux, Project Manager for CMC, explained that CMC has completed a preliminary
report analyzing the noise levels near the spur line at Greif Brothers. Mr Lamoureaux advised
that the noise levels are well below MPCA standards. Mr Lamoureaux also showed pictures of
other developments near railroad tracks.
Arlyn Cope, 14700 South Robert Trail, commented on the train traffic and noise levels behind his
business.
Rich Stauder, Assistant Plant Manager for Greif Brothers, refuted rumors that Greif Brothers has
not been cooperative
Gerald Mattson, 15335 Danbury Avenue, stated that the city should put business interests first
and should consider the need of Greif Brothers
Marie Jensen, 14325 Cameo Avenue (representing SOS Machine Company, Inc.), expressed the
company's concern on the impact the development could have on Greif Brothers.

Mayor McMenomy called for a three minute recess. The meeting reconvened at 9:14 p.m.
After council discussion, a majority concurred that approval of the final plat needs to be
contingent upon an agreement in place that the railroad spur be relocated.
MOTION by Anderson directing the City Attorney to prepare findings of fact consistent with
denial of the request to amend the Eastbridge PUD Final Development Plan approval condition
requiring execution of an agreement with the CP Rail providing for the relocation of the railroad
spur. SECOND by Busho. Ayes: Busho, Anderson, Wippermann. Nays: Staats, McMenomy.
Public Works Director Osmundson informed the council that streets in the Motz Addition have
begun alligator cracking and are in need of a structural overlay, which would be in lieu of
sealcoating or total construction. The estimated cost of the project is approximately $25,000 to
$30,000. Osmundson recommended that the improvements be done, but requested that council
direct staff on how to pay for the project. It was explained that the Assessment Policy stipulates
that 75 percent of the cost of such a project should be assessed to the residents in the area of the
project. After discussion, council concurred that 75 percent was too high and after reviewing
other cities' policies regarding assessments, agreed that 35 percent was a more realistic figure.
Staff was directed to figure an appropriate maximum amount of assessment and make a
recommendation at the next meeting. Osmundson advised that staff would also present the
feasibility report, plans and specs, and a recommendation to set the public hearing for July 18, at
the next meeting.
Parks and Recreation Director Topitzhofer advised that the Rosemount Historical Preservation is
requesting approval to relocate the old Baptist church to the northeast portion of Schwarz Park
and lease the land that it sits on from the city. Once relocated the church will be refurbished and
used as a chapel, historical information center, and will display historical relics. Topitzhofer
explained that the historical society is expecting to raise funds for the project but would like some
city staff assistance, i.e. technical support. Council favored the project but voiced concerns
regarding the amount of staff time used for the project, assurance that safeguards will be built into
the lease agreement to address maintenance responsibility of the facility, and the timing of sewer
and water to the building. Staff was directed to work with legal counsel and the Rosemount
Historical Preservation on a lease agreement and present it to the Parks and Recreation
Committee.
Councilmember Wippermann advised that he has been contacted by McAndrews Road residents
regarding the recent speed limit change from 50 m.p.h. to 55 m.p.h. and explained that they are
3
dissatisfied with the change. Wippermann questioned staff on what recourse the city has to ask
the county to revert back to the old speed limit. Staff advised that the county has done speed
studies which justified the speed limit change. When staff inquired about changing back to the
original speed limit, county staff was not open to the suggestion. City Administrator Burt
recommended that a letter from the mayor be sent to Commissioner Loeding requesting that the
speed limit be changed. Council agreed that the letter should request that the speed limit be
reduced to 45 m.p.h.
Councilmernber Staats request that "No Parking" signs be posted on the west side of Bolivia
Avenue, 150 feet north of 130th Street along with the other signs on 130th Street.
MOTION by Anderson to adopt an amended resolution directing placement of Parking"

Public Works Director Osmundson lead a discussion on burying overhead Northern States Power
lines in the area around the businesses from the Kurt Walter- Hansen building then south to 145th
Street to the Standard Amoco Station on Highway 3 and 145th Street West and then east to City
Hall. Parks and Recreation/Community Center Director Topitzhofer confirmed that Erickson
Community Square proposed to have the powerlines buried in a future phase. Osmundson noted
it would be more economical to have all lines buried at the same time. Funding alternatives will
have to be examined. City Administrator Burt noted that the Downtown Plan included buried
powerlines which look much better and Councilmember Anderson said it modernizes the City.
Further information will be gathered by staff.
Public Works Director Osmundson reviewed the possibility of a watering sprinkling ban. Right
now if any one well had a mechanical breakdown the City wells could not keep up with the water
demand. A sprinkling ban helps remind residents to conserve and could prevent any resident
from having to go without water. Council consensus was to call for an emergency sprinkling ban
only if mechanical failure causes the city to lose a well.
Mayor McMenomy called for a break at 7:52 p.m. prior to the public hearings. The meeting was
reconvened at 8:03 p.m.

SPECIAL MEETING
JULY 19, 1995
Pursuant to due call and notice thereof a special city council meeting of the city of Rosemount
was held on Wednesday, July 19, 1995, at 6:00 p.m. in the Council Chambers at City Hall.
Mayor McMenomy called the meeting to order with Councilmembers Anderson, Wippermann,
and Busho present. Councilmember Staats was absent. Staff members present were City
Administrator Burt, Administrative Assistant Walsh, Finance Director May, Public Works
Director Osmundson, Police ChiefKnutsen and Community Center/Parks Recreation Director
Topitzhofer.
City Administrator Burt provided an overview of a proposed 1996 operating budget by reviewing
departmental budgets and projected revenues for 1996. The proposed budget without capital
improvement items would result in a decrease to the city's portion of property taxes of
approximately 8.50 percent to the average $110,000 property. Burt commented the reduction is
the result of conservative budgeting of expenditures and a very good year in tax base growth for
1996.
City Administrator Burt then presented four scenarios for capital improvement projects for 1996
and the affect of each of these scenario on property taxes. Following discussion, Council reached
a consensus that the 1996 levy should include street reconstruction and utilities improvements of
Lower 147th Street from Highway 3 to Canada and Cameo from Lower 147th Street to 145th
Street West. This project would cause less than a one percent increase to property taxes of a
$110,000 home. The administrator informed the city council of a state mandate to remove or
replace the city's underground storage tanks for gasoline by December, 1997. The projected cost
for new underground storage tanks is estimated to be $80,000. The underground tanks at the
Dakota County maintenance facility in Rosemount will also have to be replaced, and the city
administrator advised he is discussing with county officials ajoint venture in meeting this
requirement.
City Administrator Burt and Police Chief Knutsen requested city council approval to apply for a
Community Oriented Police Service Universal grant from the U.S. Department ofJustice. If
approved by the federal government, the city would receive $75,000 for an officer's salary over
the next three years. Chief Knutsen estimated the city would receive approval of this grant this
fall.
MOTION by McMenomy to direct staff to apply for the COPS Universal grant. Second by
Wippermann. Ayes: Anderson, Wippermann, McMenomy. Nays: None. Present: Busho.
City Council agreed with the city administrator's recommendation to hold another budget
workshop in August, 1995.

Community Development Director Wasmund presented the Dakota County HRA Senior Project
concept which includes a Minor Comprehensive Guide Plan Amendment, rezoning, Planned Unit

south of 146th Street West and north of Lower 147th Street West. The Planning Commission
held a Public Hearing on July 25 where many residents attended, asked questions and made
comments. The age group of the housing is geared to those 55 years of age or older.
Steve Heimer, 3135 Lower 147th Street, said he supports the plan and it will be an improvement
to the neighborhood. He felt he was one of the remaining homes most affected by the building
and would like more of a buffer zone. He would like to see a 30' buffer from the property line
and 60' from the parking lot.
Jerry Stoffel, 3100 146th Street West, said this is a bad location, he was unhappy with the
planning process, and the three story height of the building will leave him no privacy which will
bring his property value down. Stoffel said there is not enough room for the rain run off or
parking, or any future expansion. Stoffel would like to be bought out by the City or HRA.

Renee Stevenson, 14600 Cameo Avenue, did not want a three story building and did not like the
chosen location Stevenson felt her rights had been violated because the process does not allow
for enough opportunity for input by residents. She noted that the HRA could sell some of their
other properties in order to buy more property around the Cameo site. Stevenson asked if other
locations had commercial property next to residential and still had the property value raise.
Nordquist from the HRA replied that in Hastings this is the case and property value has gone up.
Mayor McMenomy encouraged staff to work with the developer to incorporate improvements on
behalf of the neighborhood.
John Oxborough, 14690 Cameo Avenue, asked consideration be taken for the safety and health of
the neighborhood and future senior residents.

concerns. The duplex is owned now by the IIRA and will be torn down this November. More
landscaping funding is available for creating a better buffer zone. Seven properties were acquired
and there is no further funding to acquire any more. Nordquist conducted a survey of property
values around senior housing which showed the values to gradually rise. Kirk Pullaski HRA,
commented that the tuck -under garage would be under ground with the first floor residences at
natural grade.

Kevin Carroll represented S.O.A.R. and gave an update on the relocation proposals for the Twin
Cities International Airport. The Remote Runway proposal was denied due mainly to the
estimated cost of4.2 billion dollars. The Metropolitan Airport Commission has requested
additional money for airport issues and S.O.A R. feels it will be necessary to have funds to keep
people aware of the issue. Carroll said complacency can be the greatest enemy of this issue and
S.O.A.R. would like the City Council to consider setting aside funds in the 1996 budget to
S.O.A.R. Metropolitan Council could start to require land banking or have land use restrictions
in the southeast portion of Rosemount inhibiting development There will be a fiord raiser Pig

City Administrator Burt recommended that City Council reconsider the current license fees in
effect for pawnshops and pawnbrokers. Burt recommended that the fees be based on an
escalating scale based on the average number of daily business transactions. He recommended the
minimum annual license fee be set at $1500. He stated that this minimum amount is based on the
cost of police department staff verifying a minimum number of daily business transaction by
pawnbrokers.
Juanita Bohn, owner of Rosemount Pawn, requested that Council consider an annual fee of $750
and also expressed her concerns of having to deposit a S1500 investigation fee. She provided
copies of letters from the Dakota County Sheriffs Department which noted the help of her
Hastings pawn shop business in identifying stolen property. She felt the 51500 license fees were
out of line in comparison to other smaller cities' fees.

Following discussion by members of the City Council, a general consensus was reached that the
recommended fees were appropriate and that the investigation fee should remain the saute.
City Administrator Burt noted that Rosemount Pawn is currently without a license. The Council
directed staff to pursue the application process with the owner.
MOTION by Anderson to adopt A RESOLUTION ESTABLISHING AN ANNUAL
LICENSE FEE FOR PAWN SHOPS AND PAWN BROKERS Second by Wippermann.
Ayes: Wippennann, McMenomy, Busho, Anderson. Nays: Staats.
Mayor McMenomy noted the procedure used for public hearings. Mayor McMenomy opened
the Public Hearing for the Zoning Ordinance Text Amendment Setback and Lot Dimension
Standards. The recording secretary noted that the Affidavits of the Published and Posted Notice
were on file.
Assistant Planner Pearson reviewed the proposed amendment to the City of Rosemount
Zoning Ordinance. The setbacks and lot dimension standards had been discussed three years ago
when housing was proposed adjacent to highways and railroads. Natural barriers are favored
over fencing for noise, sightline reduction, and useable yard areas This revision would not affect
current developers with approved preliminary plats. The Planning Commission recommend these
revisions as a proactive approach to problems or complaints.
Councilmember Wippermann noted that the Planned Unit Development process would allow for
exceptions to be made. These amendments are being placed here for the safety of the land owners
and allows for usable backyard space. Wippennann believed the pipeline easements need not be
changed from the state regulations. However, setbacks on the major arterial streets and railroad
would improve property for homeowners.
Glen Sexton, Director of Constnrction for CMC, noted that increased setbacks will only lower
sound about 2 or 3 decibels. Alternates may be used as stone and concrete walls which will cut
noise even more and which would be adequate even for a 15' easement. Many times people
buying townhomes do not want a large berm to maintain. Sexton requested the City Council not
to adopt the amendment.
Renee Stevenson, 14600 Cameo Avenue, noted that a deadline should be required for completion
of this revision.
Attorney Reid Hansen commented that the State has a model ordinance for pipeline easements
and that the City does not need to be stricter than that.
Mayor McMenomy noted that this revision complicates matters. Developers want their projects
to appeal to customers so easements will be considered, but this will cause many more variances
that will have to be considered. There are federal and state regulations on pipelines that apply.
The Mayor could not support the amendments to the zoning of Cl, C3, or C4.

Councilmember Staats noted that easements don't always locate the pipeline in the center so this
would allow the distance to he 30' to 60' of the owners property. This restricts all types of
development by the homeowner.
Assistant Planner Pearson suggested removing the references to the pipeline and keep the
remainder of the Ordinance. Councilmember Anderson agreed City Attorney LeFevere was
asked about the wording clarification on item 6.h. Direction was given to have staff reword the
Zoning Amendment Ordinance Text Atendment and remove reference to the pipeline and present
this at the next meeting.

regulations as the Dakota County Curfew Ordinance. Police Chief Knutsen recommended its
approval by repealing the existing ordinance and adopting Dakota County Ordinance No. 122 by
reference. It will be presented again on the next City Council agenda.
Parks and Recreation and Community Center Director Topitzhofer recommended utilizing a
permanent part-time receptionist for 25 hours per week opposed to a temporary position which
can only work for three months. This will give this highly visible position more continuity within
the department. This position has been introduced into the 1996 Budget
MOTION by McMenomy to approve posting and advertising the position of permanent part-time
receptionist for 25 hours per week at a rate of $9.09 per hour. Second by Staats. Ayes: Staats,
Busho, Anderson, Wippermann, McMenomy. Nays: None.

A ten year agreement was reached allowing the City to save overall on equipment and services at
about $500 a month. City Attorney LeFevere helped negotiate this contract and recommends its
approval.
MOTION by Wippermann to approve the Agreement for Centrex Services between Frontier
Communications and the City of Rosemount. Second by Staats. Ayes: Busho, Anderson,

Administrator Burt reviewed some of the changes made to the budget since the July 19. 1995,

Services of their intention to charge the City for city -wide recycling. Council and staff also
discussed the possibility of designating funds for cable broadcasting City Council meetings and
S O.A.R. activities but that the operating budget should not be increased for these two items.

REGULAR MEETING
SEPTEMBER 5, 1995
Reid Hansen, Attorney for CMC Heartland, noted that he felt the language was still not clear and
that many more variances for setbacks would be required when developments occur. Council
asked for additional input from other developers. Mayor IblcMenomy noted that he thought the
setbacks were excessive. Staff will report back to City Council at a future meeting with additional
information.
City Administrator Burt introduced Mark Vetter of Vetter Johnson Architects and Todd
Christopherson of AMCON who have been working with staff and the Fire Service Task Force on
the proposed tire station. Vetter presented architectural drawings of the proposed fire station
which has been scaled down in size from past plans. The site plan on Shannon Parkway and Dodd
Boulevard added some design difficulty to overcome but resulted in a clear egress design. The
fire truck bays can be loaded from both sides of the building. It will be a one story building with
basic training areas small kitchen, apparatus room, locker room, and hose tower It will be
approximately 15,000 square feet with a cost of $88 per square foot and will be adequate for the
45 volunteer firefighters. Christopherson said that all costs for the building will be 1.337 million
dollars and that additional funds will be needed for the referendum, bond costs, survey, site tests,
land purchase. furniture and equipment purchases in the total amount of 1.75 million dollars.
Fire Chief Aker noted that the fire department is supporting this proposed fire station and the fire
department members have been kept up to date on its progress. Council discussed ways to inform
the public which should highlight that it is a "bare bones" fire station.
Renee Stevenson, 14600 Cameo Avenue, a member on the Fire Service Task Force, said that the
proposed fire station had been reviewed closely by the committee and they felt it was a very good
"bare bones' facility. A fire station is normally needed in a community with every 10,000 people
population growth and that Rosemount is certainly planning for the future at the right time.
MOTION by Anderson to adopt A RESOLUTION CALLING FOR AN ELECTION ON
$1,750,000 GENERAL OBLIGATION PUBLIC FACILITY BONDS. Second by
Wippermann. Ayes: McMenomy, Busho, Anderson, Wippermann. Nays: None.
Code Enforcement and Administrative Intern McKnight reviewed the moratorium placed on the
Adult Establishment Ordinance. Research has continued since October of 1994 in order to
develop this ordinance. City staff has been working with the city attorney and maps have been
developed showing the areas where this type of use would be permitted A review and
recommendation by the Planning Commission will be required before final action by the City
Council on the proposed requirements. City Attorney LeFevere advised that these activities do
not constitute criminal behavior, but the negative secondary effects may be controlled due to these
four findings: 1) an adult use cannot be regulated on the basis of the materials they sell or the
entertainment provided, but only on the effect that such businesses have on the surrounding area;
2) a municipality must conclude that such adult businesses create adverse secondary effects such
as neighborhood blight, diminished propertv values and increased crime; 3) municipalities need
not conduct their own adverse secondary effects studies, they can rely on studies performed by
other cities, provided that the studies are reasonably related to the problem that the city is trying

to address: and 4) either dispersal or concentration regulations may be utilized, in either case, the
City must allow a reasonable opportunity area in the city for adult uses to locate Obscenity is
criminal and is restricted now by state law. This ordinance will be more restrictive than the
current city ordinances. The City may decide to extend the moratorium for an additional six
months. Further discussion time will be possible at the next City Council meeting.
Mayor McMenomy requested discussion of the expense to the Community Center water drainage
problem because he felt it was a design flaw that should have been handled by the architect.
Parks and Recreation Community Center Director Topitzhofer directed the concrete planter be
removed because drainage from the roof directed into the planter was causing water damage to
areas below ground level inside the building. A change order was carried out diverting half the
water in the other direction, but the problem has still persisted. The consensus was to correct the
problem as soon as possible before permanent damage occurred.
MOTION by McMenomy to approve the expenditure of $730.00 for cement work at the
Community Center, and to approve amendments to the budgets as indicated on the attached
donation revenue worksheet. Second by Busho. Ayes: Busho, Anderson, Wippermann,

possible public use of 2.75 acres for a fire station. The Planning Commission recommends
approval of the final concept plan for Wensmann's Ninth Addition.
Renee Steveson, 14600 Cameo Avenue, noted that access to the park may be a problem.
Children like to take the shortest path, so with no trail through the homes it is not likely they
will use the streets.
Terry Wensmann, the developer, has checked the future assessments of Dodd Boulevard, the
park dedication fee, and other expenses and has found that the costs are higher than
anticipated. Wensmann would like to continue to negotiate with city staff.
Parks and Recreation/Community Center Director Topitzhofer reviewed the park dedication

commercial area on CR 42. Planning Commission recommends the second choice with
commercial area. Discussion followed.

Chippendale /42 Partnership Project. A petition was received from residents of O'Leary Hills
5th Addition stating concerns for the Chippendale /42 Partnership Project.
City Administrator Burt requested direction from the City Council on the choice of selection
process for the city councilmember position open January 2, 1996. After Mayor -elect Busho is
sworn in on January 2, 1996, a councilmember vacancy will be created. State law dictates that
this position will be filled by appointment by the Mayor and three remaining city councilmembers..
In the case of a tie, the mayor would have the deciding vote. Concensus was to advertise in the
local paper, application forms would not be required initially, and a list of interested persons
would be assembled. This list will be reviewed some time after the January 2, 1996 meeting.
Mayor McMenomy introduced the new Community Development Director Dan Rogness.
Rogness started a week ago and is welcomed by City Council and staff to the City of Rosemount.
Rogness was formerly Community Development Director for the City of Northfield.
MOTION by McMenomy to approve the Consent Agenda. Second by Staats. Ayes: Anderson,
Wippermann, McMenomy, Staats, Busho. Nays: None.
The Chippendale Partners requested their agenda item be considered later in the meeting while
they wait for additional staff to arrive. Mayor McMenomy agreed.
Senior Planner Mack reviewed a Housing Goals Agreement Metropolitan Livable Communities
Act. This agreement sets out the principles and goals of the Act that are specific to Rosemount.
It sets benchmark percentages for affordablity, life cycle, and density; and authorizes the Dakota
County FIRA to serve as facilitator for Rosemount in the county wide "Cluster Plan" for
implementation of the Goals Agreement.
Tracie Chamberlin from the Dakota County Housing and Redevelopment Authority explained that
she is working with eleven cities to help set comprehensive goals, standardize language, and
establish what resources are available to complete the five year action plan for the Housing Goals
Agreement.

DECEMBER 5, 1995
MOTION by Anderson to approve entering into the Housing Goals Agreement under the
Metropolitan Livable Communities Act. Second by Staats. Ayes: Wippermann, McMenomy,
Staats, Busho, Anderson. Nays: None.
Assistant Planner Pearson reviewed the Zoning Ordinance Text Amendment: Increased Setbacks
Along Major Streets, Highways, and Railroads. Staff realized the need for this change after
recent residential development on County Road 42. The Planned Unit Development process
would allow for variations of setback criteria in exchange for higher standards of design and
creativity. The Planning Commission felt that this was one opportunity to maintain some of the
rural character of Rosemount with added safety.
Glen Sexton, CMC Heartland Partners, commented on the proposed Text Amendment. Sexton
felt that the sideyard setbacks were too large, but the rearyard setbacks were good. Ten feet is
standard for sideyards. Also, commercial development near a railroad should be allowed to build
on the easement line. Sexton felt the amendments could make it more difficult for businesses to
build in Rosemount.
Assistant Planner Pearson noted that six developers had been contacted for input. Three
responded positively and there was no response from the other three. Also a study was done of
five surrounding cities and their setbacks. Council made several comments. This will be
presented to Council again at a future meeting.
Mayor McMenomy noted that the Public Hearing for Chippendale Partners Mixed Use Planned
Unit Development Concept Review was held November 7, 1995. Council is aware of the
concerns of neighbors and McMenomy urged those making comments not to repeat unnecessarily
the same concerns.
Presentations for the Chippendale Partners Mixed Use Planned Unit Development Concept
Review were made by the City and the developer updating all present with the new changes to the
concept plan. Peter J. Coyle, from Larkin, Hoffman, Daly Lindgren, Ltd. noted they have
worked with the City Council and staff in good faith and made several design changes complying
with the Comprehensive Guide Plan and the Mixed Planned Unit Development process. John
Voss noted the added three acre park, the realignment of 151st Street, removal of the "big box"
and service station, and not allowing a 24 hour drugstore. Developers indicated they were aware
of the six conditions set forth in the recommended agreement. A traffic study and market study
will be done if approved. The full development of this land is not expected until the year 2020.
Jim Johnson, P.E. for Bolten -Men an engineer for the developer, commented on the
developer's proposed full access on Shannon Parkway by County Road 42. He proposed a
preliminary lane layout with an access approximately 350 feet south of CS AH 42, which in his
opinion, would allow adequate stacking space and smooth traffic flow.
Phyllis Newman, from the Wensmann development, wanted to know the impact on December
Trail's traffic between the two parks. Newman indicated that speed is a problem now and she
felt it would increase the danger to pedestrians. City Administrator Burt said that if speed is a
2

REGULAR MEETING
DECEMBER 5, 1995
problem the Police Department can increase patrols in the area now and that a traffic study will
give specific answers to traffic flow problems.
Kelly Sampo, 3589 152nd Street West, submitted a petition from O'Leary's Hills 5th Addition
residents showing seven concerns. They felt additional changes could be made by the developer.
Ted Peterson, of Derby Circle, thought the west side of Shannon Parkway should be improved to
protect it from the commercial area. The developer stated that they could not promise any
ntodigications to the development on the west side of Shannon, since that land is not in the
development, however, he indicated more landscaping and berming could be incorporated on the
east side of Shannon and help block the commercial area view.
Steve Werner, 3864 Upper 149th Street, noted that the sweep of headlights from the accesses on
County Road 42 would not be favorable for the neighbors on the north side of County Road 42.
Werner thought that there was not enough consideration for the hones to the north. Staff
assured him these homes had been talked about and other neighbors to the north did comment at
earlier meetings.
Ron Bennett, 3966 Upper 149th Street, did not like that the space for a large department store
could still be a possibility.
MOTION by Mayor McMenomy to approve A RESOLUTION APPROVING A CONCEPT
FOR CHIPPENDALE PARTNERS MIXED USE PLANNED UNIT DEVELOPMENT
AND SETTING OUT THE CONDITIONS FOR A FINAL DEVELOPMENT PLAN.
Second by Staats. Ayes: McMenomy, Staats, Anderson. Nays: Busho, Wippermann. Motion
was passed.
It was noted that a four /fifths vote would be required when rezoning is requested for this project.
Council noted that the market study and traffic study will have to help convince at least four
councilmembers at that point that this development is good for Rosemount.
Mayor McMenomy called for a ten minute break. The meeting was resumed at 9:30 p.m.
City Administrator Burt presented the appraisal results for the fire station site located on the
corner of Shannon Parkway and Dodd Boulevard. The appraised value for the site is $172,620
and the sellers price is $189,424. Mr. Herb Wensmann was contacted and indicated he would
agree to split the price difference if the land sale is before January 1, 1996. Discussion ensued by
Council.

are needed to build the fire station it will have to be budgeted into the Capital Improvement
Project funds or continent funds
Mayor McMenomy requested Council to appoint a member to the MCA/Koch Refining Task
Force. The purpose of the committee is to design and review research activities to determine
whether Koch Refinery is a health risk to neighboring communities. An elected official typically
serves on this committee.
MOTION by Anderson to appoint Kevin Carroll, Councilmember- elect, to represent the City of
Rosemount on the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency/Koch Refining Task Force. Second by
Staats. Ayes: Busho, Anderson, Wippermann, McMenomy, Staats. Nays: None.
Councilmember Anderson displayed a plaque awarded to the City of Rosemount at its annual
meeting for its program, "Partners in Progress." Rosemount was recognized for the new
commercial/industrial business park which will soon be home to several quality businesses.
City Administrator Burt confirmed that two sites in Rosemount, by the University of Minnesota
Agriculture property and Koch Refining, are being considered for a truck -train terminal. The
terminal would probably cover about 165 acres and would cost at least $150 million for on -site
development. One other site is also being considered in Cottage Grove.
MOTION by McMenomy to adjourn the meeting. Second by Staats. Ayes: Anderson,
Wippermann, McMenomy, Staats, Busho. Nays: None. The meeting was adjourned at

held on Tuesday, December 19, 1995 at 7:30 p.m. in the Council Chambers at City Hall, 2875
145th Street West.
Mayor McMenomy called the meeting to order with Councilmembers Anderson, Wippermann,

Community Development Director Rogness, Senior Planner Mack, Assistant Planner Pearson,
Public Works Director /City Engineer Osmundson and Administration Intem Lotter.
Mayor McMenomy led the group in the Pledge of Allegiance. One item was added to the
Consent Agenda, 4 m. Budget Amendments for Donations Received Previously; and a Closed
Session was added to discuss the Kelly Trust Assessment Agreement.
Kevin Carroll gave an update on S.O.A.R. which will be having a rally on December 20th in
Vermillion at 5 p.m. Arnie Carlson, Governor of Minnesota, gave his support this week
announcing opposition to any relocation of the Twins Cities International Airport. Ted
Mondale, DFL indorsed, is authorizing a bill that deals with these same issues and would restrict
Metropolitan Council from land banking for an airport. The Governor is calling for all airport
related reports to be completed very soon and have the entire issue come to a close. Another
organization, A.S.A.P. (Association for Sensible Airport Planning) which had a low profile before
has decided to actively pursue the Governors platform. A Public Hearing will be January 17,
1996, at 7 p.m., at Hastings Senior High School and also a Public Hearing will be held
January 18, 1996, 7 p.m. at Washburn High School in Minneapolis. The Machinists' Union has

James "Red" Staats in appreciation for their last four years of public service in the City of
Rosemount. Each received a wall plaque and the appreciation of staff city council, and

Amendments for Donations Received Previously and a change to the December 5, 1995 Regular
City Council minutes with the addition of the word "initially" to the fourth paragraph, fourth
sentence. Second by Staats. Ayes: McMenomy, Staats, Busho, Anderson, Wippermann. Nays:
None.
Community Development Director Rogness directed that the city's financial advisor noted new
legislative laws that could restrict city funds of Tax Increment Districts, specifically, TIF District
No. 1 -2. Rosemount has the option of changing the previously required LGA /HACA penalty to a
"local contribution" of 7.5 percent of the actual annual tax increment. If further changes occur in
the legislature this will allow the city to change back to LGA/HACA, but if the option of local
contribution is not made the city must remain in the LGA/HACA program even if it is not
beneficial. This is basically a protection which allows the city more choices to better direct its
financing.

rail spur consistent with the design of the site plan dated 10/27/95 prior to approval of a final plat;
and 2) provision of a cross access circulation easement with Lot 15, Auditor's Subdivision No. 1
(quonset hut site) prior to approval of a site plan for commercial development.

ROSEMOUNT CITY PROCEEDINGS
REGULAR MEETING
DECEMBER 19, 1995
Council discussed avoiding land locking Lot 15 and provisions for such. City Attorney LeFevere
developed verbiage to trigger an easement, but not until such time as it is needed. Glen Sexton,
representing CMC Heartland Partners said it would be an incompatible use to have 18 wheelers
crossing a commercial parking lot.
Council consensus changed condition #6. as follows: "provision of a cross access circulation
easement with Lot 15, Auditor's Subdivision No. 1 (quonset hut site) prior to approval of a site
plan for commercial development; such easement (which shall be provided in lieu of a dedicated
public road) shall not become effective until: 1) zoning of Lot 15 is changed to a commercial
district consistent with the Comprehensive Plan; 2) the use of Lot 15 is changed to a use
permitted in the commercial zoning district in effect after such rezoning; and 3) access to Lot 15
is not permitted by a competent legal authority to either Highway 3 or County Road 42."
Council decided not to change the railroad spur condition.
Renee Stevenson, 14600 Cameo, thought that this would be an undue hardship for the existing
business on Lot 15

Anderson, Wippermann, McMenomy. Nays: None.
Mayor McMenomy opened the Public Hearing for the Zoning and Subdivision Ordinance Text

Assistant Planner Pearson explained that the amendment to the zoning and subdivision ordinances
would shift public hearings from the City Council to the Planning Commission meetings. This

JANUARY 16, 1996
Public Works Director /City Engineer Osmundson explained that the Vermillion Watershed
Management Organization notified the City that it needs to select a delegate to select
commissioners for vacancies expiring on December 31. 1995. Osmundson has served as a
commissioner and his term is up. However, Osmundson may be appointed to help select a
delegate at this point and the actual selection will take place after candidates have been identified.
Osmundson suggested Joseph Walsh as a candidate. Walsh has served 15 years on our Utilities
Commission. The river development is an important area and the City of Rosemount needs to be
kept aware of the progress of the project.
MOTION by Anderson to appoint City Engineer Bud Osmundson to serve as a delegate for the
Vermillion River Watershed Management Organization. Second by Wippennann. Ayes: Busho,
Carroll, Anderson, Wippermann. Nays: None.

Mayor Busho opened the public hearing for the 1996 Street and Utility Reconstruction
Improvements, City Project 266. The affidavits of mailed, posted. and published notice were on
file
Public Works Director /City Engineer Osmundson gave a presentation of City Project 266, The
1996 Street and Utility Reconstruction Improvements. The project will replace street,
underground utilities such as water mains. sanitary sewer, storm sewer, and sidewalks. The
proposed assessment was 52,500, but Council did not set the final assessment amount. The
audience asked questions of staff.
A letter was received by Council from Eldon and Dorothy Stauffer, 3190 Lower 147th Street
West, stating that the assessment amount should not be over $2,000.
Bernie Szczesniak, 3195 Lower 147th Street West, did not feel the property value would be
raised by the curb and gutter improvements. Szczesniak also commented that the larger
watermain would benefit fire fighting in the downtown area but these businesses will not be
assessed for that improvement. Osmundson explained that a utility core fund which is gathered
from all residents is paying for the majority of the cost of the project.
Gerry Fluegel, Fluegel Elevator Inc., asked how his business assessment was estimated.
Osmundson explained that a normal business process was followed to arrive at the assessment.
Renee Stevenson, 14600 Cameo Avenue, wondered why the appraisals on sample lots included
the inside of the house and how that helped determine the assessment. Stevenson was not willing
to pay 52,500.
Joel Schallehn, 3160 Lower 147th Street West, purchased his home August, 1994 and he noticed
that this project does not include as many improvements as were made on 145th Street West
between Cameo and Chili Avenues. Schallehn would like to see the street remain at 36 feet wide.

REGULAR MEETING
JANUARY 16, 1996
Matt Dowell, 3150 Lower 147th Street West, would like to see buried powerlines. Dowell noted
that the curb and gutter would not increase his property value. Dowell said that speed is already a
problem and he is concerned for small children. City Administrator Burt said he would report this
to the Police Department and additional squad coverage would be provided. Dowell asked about
the Methodist Church's assessment and Osmundson said they will be assessed for one lot.
Bernie Szczesniak, 3195 Lower 147th Street West, said he thought the Dakota County Senior
Housing Project on Cameo should be completed before any street improvements are done because
of the heavy equipment needed. Osmundson noted that it is very common to do the street
improvements at the same time leaving the final bituminous overlay to be done one year later.
Renee Stevenson, 14600 Cameo Avenue, asked what the proposed assessment is to the Dakota
County Housing and Redevelopment Authority. Osmundson said their assessment would be
about $20,000
Fran Szczesniak, 3195 Lower 147th Street West, commented on the 7 foot boulevard and 5 foot
sidewalk and asked how they determined that and how tree replacement would be handled.
Osmundson commented on the boulevard placement and that trees and brush would be replaced
by the contractor However, large trees could not be replaced in like size, but a well established
tree would be planted in its place.
Colleen Oxborough, 14690 Cameo Avenue, stated she wanted a 36 foot wide street. Oxborough
asked about their specific lot's assessment. It has two driveways on different streets, so the
assessment policy calls for a double assessment. Osmundson said they, or any resident, could
appeal the assessment amount once it is set.
Paul Osborne, 14670 Cameo Avenue, asked about the sidewalks. Osborne did not feel the
replacement of sidewalks would increase his property value
MOTION by Busho to close the public hearing for the 1996 Street Utility Reconstruction
Improvements, City Project 266. Second by Wippermann. Ayes: Four. Nays: None.

amount.

SPECIAL JOINT MEETING
FEBRUARY 13, 1996
Pursuant to due call and notice thereof a special joint meeting of the Rosemount City Council and
Rosemount Planning Commission was duly held on Tuesday, February 13, 1996 at 5:30 p.m. in
the Council Chambers at City Hall, 2875 145th Street West.
Mayor Busho was present along with Councilmembers Wippermann, Edwards and Carroll and
Planning Commissioners DeBettignies. Droste, Shoe Corrigan, McDermott. and Tentinger. City
staff and Bob Thisel of Springsted, Jan Weisner of Weisner Associates, and Beverly Miller, the
executive director of the MVTA, were also present.
Mayor Busho called the worksession to order at 5:30 p.m. She introduced Bob Thisel
(Springsted) and Jan Weisner (Weisner Associates) to the City Council. Planning Commission
and City Staff who were in attendance.
Mr. Thisel related that the purpose of this joint meeting was to help the Minnesota Valley Transit
Authority (MVTA) ascertain their long term strategic goals. He related that the MVTA sent out
surveys to the parent bodies (6 cities, the Dakota County Board, and the Scott County Board)
and is now in the process of meeting with each group to brainstorm on the direction that MVTA
should take in the future. Mr. Thisel introduced Beverly Miller, the executive director of the
MVTA. who related the history of the MVTA in Dakota County
Ms. Weisner then initiated the discussion with the City Council, Planning Commission and City
Staff.
Some issues and suggestions which were raised during this discussion include the following:
1. Send surveys to riders of the busses so that they can evaluate the service.
2. Increase public awareness of the MVTA through newsletters, commercials on local
cable stations. bus benches, etc
3. Bus schedule is not flexible to work schedules. Possibly ridership would increase
if more bus stops were created in Rosemount.
4. Start a shuttle van service running from the Park Rides in Rosemount to the
larger Park Rides in neighboring communities.
5. Create Park Rides along CSAH 42 (possibly at the church located at Diamond
Path Road or in Knowlans parking lot.)
6. Create "express routes" to minimize the perception that it takes longer to ride the
bus than it does to drive your car.
7. Create more inter community routes that would hook up with hubs.
The financing options for MVTA improvements were also discussed at length.
City Administrator Burt mentioned that the survey which was completed by the City of
Rosemount was stairs opinion only and did not include input from the City Council or Planning
Commission.
Ms. Weisner concluded that, in summary, 1) there was a barrier in that the public is not aware of
the MVTA service, routes and stops; 2) a barrier exists in that the bus schedules and routes are
not flexible to accommodate work schedules; and 3) that the City of Rosemount would be
1

interested in increasing transit service in the community but not necessarily interested in funding
this increased service.
MOTION by Wippermann to adjourn the Special Joint Meeting with the City Council, Planning
Commission and the Minnesota Valley Transit Authority. Second by Busho. Upon unanimous
decision, this meeting was adjourned at 6:35 p.m.

Mayor Busho opened the Public Hearing for the Rosemount Business Park Tax Increment
Finance Plan/District.
Community Development Director Rogness gave an overview of Tax Increment Financing (TIF)

might not otherwise occur. When TIF district's costs have been paid, no more than eleven years,

or the district is decertified, the property tax proceeds revert back to the local taxes with
approximately 50% to the school district, 25% to the county and 25% to the city. Rosemount has
4.1% of tax capacity captured in tax increments; while 5% to 10% would be considered average.
Mayor Busho confirmed with the recording secretary that the Affidavits of Posted and Published
Notice were on file. Mayor Busho called for public input
Kim Shoe Corrigan, 12990 Shannon Parkway, voiced concerns if tax increment financing is really
needed at this time.
Rogness responded that the "but -for" criteria was applied to the Cannon Equipment proposal and
staff felt they would not have chosen Rosemount unless tax increment financing was used as other
communities were competing for their development. Cannon will bring about 200 jobs to this
area and this will be good for Rosemount's economy. Other business development proposals
within the Rosemount Business Park will not automatically receive TIF benefits. Staff and
Council hope that getting a business in the park will increase the interest of others to come to
Rosemount.

Assistant Planner Pearson reviewed the revised preliminary plat and final development plan for
Shannon Meadows. It is a 12.8 acre development with 29 single family lots on the northwest
corner of Shannon Parkway and 145th Street West. Many of the large trees were saved and a
more effective use of the land was made with revisions adding a cul -de -sac and shifting the
alignment of an east /west street. The Planning Commission held a public hearing and
recommended its approval. Discussion was held. A long narrow strip, noted as the "pan
handle attached as an outlot to Lot 14, Block 2 which runs parallel to Shannon Parkway ending
on 145th Street West was a concern, but no clear solution was imminent.
Kevin VonReidl, consultant for RLK Associates Limited, said that the "pan handle" ofLot 14,
was offered as free land to the adjoining land owner but he would have to pay legal expenses. He
was not agreeable to that offer. Further negotiations may take place.

directed staff to continue this project, explore positive and negatives of the project; and to
estimate costs for providing city services to the site.
(b) Business Park Development: Discussion was held on the Cannon project and other
companies who lace indicated interest in the business park Discussion was also held on
expanding the business park, and whether the city should be involved in future buying and
selling of land for business park properties.

possible theme Some of the funding could be through utility franchise fees or street light fees
The Council agreed the plan needs to be completed as soon as possible, utility franchise fees are a
viable way to help fund the project and implementation should begin in the near future Council
was opposed to any extreme theme styles for the downtown and felt more traditional styles would
be the most appropriate.

financial statements. Staff has begun working on a ten year CIP and financial forecast. Finance
Director May explained a proposed restructuring of the following funds: severance and retirement
fimd; paid -up debt service bond fund; and CIP fund.
Managed Growth: Discussion was held on the cost for expanding MUSA to industrial areas.
Water towers and infrastructure would be expensive. Council agreed expansion of MUSA for
industrial development would have to be weighed against cost for providing city services.
Discussion was held on the Kelly Trust property and the need to have it rezoned from AG to
residential. Council agreed this area should he developed with more expensive or "executive"
priced homes, and minimum lot standards need to he reviewed in the near future.

done on a uniform basis throughout the city. New businesses need to he informed of code
regulations. Discussion was held on the sign ordinance, and the need for it to be updated.

for community- related events at the community center. Council agreed that the organizations

prairie area Council agreed the park structure at Erickson Community Square should be a shelter

center in the triangle area of Shannon, I4Sth Street and Dodd. The proposed site was identified,

conducted, and staff will present the final ordinance for council adoption in the near future.

should be revised first.

updated The current software is out of date and designed for smaller cities Staff has reviewed
LOGIS software which several cities in the metropolitan area use Staff will continue to contact
software companies.
