REGULAR MEETING
MAY 7, 1996
Pursuant to due call and notice thereof a regular meeting of the Rosemount City Council was duly
held on Tuesday, May 7, 1996, at 7:35 p.m. in the Council Chambers at City Hall, 2875 145th
Street West
Mayor Busho called the meeting to order with Councilmembers Edwards, Wippermann,
Anderson and Carroll present. Also present were City Attorney LeFevere, City Administrator
Burt, Administrative Intern Lotter, Community Development Director Rogness, Senior Planner
Mack, Assistant Planner Pearson, Public Works Director /City Engineer Osmundson, Building
Official Heimkes, and Parks and Recreation/Community Center Director Topitzhofer.
Mayor Busho led the group in the Pledge of Allegiance.
A change order to City Project 266 was added to New Business on the agenda. Minutes to the
Special Joint Meeting April 30. 1996, was added to the Consent Agenda.
MOTION by Anderson to approve the Consent Agenda with the addition of the minutes of April
30, 1996. Second by Edwards. Ayes: Five. Nays: None.
Building Official Heimkes presented the final draft of the Individual Sewage Treatment System
Ordinance, Section 14.6. Metropolitan Council has mandated compliance by all cities. The
proposed ordinance was presented to residents at two informational meetings and several planning
commission meetings. Residents showed an unwillingness to comply with the ordinance mainly
due to the personal expense. Many septic systems will require a manhole opening which older
systems do not have. This ordinance will help our community to retain potable water for future
generations. Councilmember Wippermann noted that a more reasonable way should be found.
City Council discussed frequency of septic system inspection, record keeping, loan assistance,
enforcement, notice to septic system residents, and protection of well heads. Metropolitan
Council told staff that the city must comply or other land requests would be denied. Since future
development depends on MUSA change approvals, Council consensus was that Rosemount must
go ahead with the septic system ordinance. Council agreed that they support correcting actual
septic systems which are not functioning correctly. However, they did not agree with the method
and frequency of inspections because of the cost to residents that have properly functioning
systems. Councilmember Carroll deemed the ordinance "burdensome and punitive. Council
requested staff to recommend inspections every three to five years to Metropolitan Council rather
than the two year inspections now required.
MOTION by Edwards to adopt, as mandated by the Metropolitan Council, the revised Zoning
Code Ordinance, Section 14.6, Regulating Individual Sewage Treatment Systems and their
maintenance. Second by Carroll. Ayes: Carroll, Edwards, Anderson, Busho. Nays:
Wippermann.
MOTION by Busho to direct staff to send a letter to Metropolitan Council noting that the two
year pumping requirement is excessive and encourage Metropolitan Council to go by State
guidelines now in place. Second by Carroll. Ayes: Edwards, Anderson, Wippermann, Busho,
Carroll. Nays: None.

MOTION by Edwards to adopt A RESOLUTION ESTABLISHING FEES FOR ON -SITE
INDIVIDUAL SEWAGE TREATMENT SYSTEMS. Second by Carroll. Ayes: Anderson,
Wippermann, Busho, Carroll, Edwards. Nays: None.
Roy Marvin, 2813 132nd Street West, asked if he would be notified if he needed to do
improvements. Building Official Heintkes stated the inspections are done by private, not city
inspectors. The private inspector makes a report to the county which informs the city and if there
is need for improvements the resident would be notified.
Parks and Recreation/Community Center Director Topitzhofer discussed placement of a Family
Resource Center building on a 1.15 acre lot available near the Rosemount Green Apartments.
Topitzhofer requested an appraisal for this lot which would be paid for from Park Dedication
funds Dakota County Technical College students have volunteered to do the construction
beginning in September, 1996.
MOTION by Edwards to authorize an appraisal of the Rosewood Manor Outlot. Second by
Wippermann. Ayes: Wippermann, Busho, Carroll, Edwards, Anderson. Nays: None.
Public Works Director /City Engineer Osmundson gave a report on the Dakota County Capital
Improvement Projects for the next five years. There are four projects within Rosemount with
each project costing the city more than $400,000. Staff recommends that two of these projects,
one on County Road 38 (135th Street, east of Highway 3) and one on County Road 73 (Akron
Avenue) be put into the "future projects" category due to lack of funding and higher priority
projects within the City. Also. the City requests the support of the Federal Funding for the
construction of County Road 46, along the 160th Street alignment. With the same project
Diamond Path (CR 33) should be constructed from 160th to CSAH 42 Additionally, the City
should request the County take over jurisdiction of 160th Street from Pilot Knob to Trunk
Highway 3 inunediately due to the fact that it is a multi- jurisdictional road serving more as a
county road than a city street. The City also requests 1997 funding for construction on CSAH 42
for turn lanes and urban section design between Shannon Parkway and Tnink Highway 3 in part
due to the proposed Chippendale /42 Partnership project. The City's share will be assessed to the
benetitting properties. Finally, the City should request the construction of a library in Rosemount
as it has for the past several years Osmundson has contacted surrounding cities that are affected
by these projects in the hope they will note their support in letters to Dakota County.
MOTION by Carroll to authorizing staff to send a letter to Dakota County stating the City's
position on the Dakota County Capital Improvement Project for 1996 through 2000. Second by
Anderson. Ayes: Busho, Carroll, Edwards, Anderson, Wippermann. Nays: None.
Assistant Planner Pearson presented the final plat for Shannon Meadows Addition by Jack
Gassner of International Development II. It is a twenty -nine lot single family detached residential
development. The Planning Commission recommends its approval. City Attorney LeFevere
requested item 7. of the resolution include the phrase, "as approved by the City Attorney."

Assistant Planner Pearson reviewed the request by Richard Hanson, 12275 Cobblestone Court, to
combine his lot with about ten acres just north of his property line. Staff and the Planning
Commission recommended the platting of a sixty feet wide right -of -way on the eastern side of the
ten acre lot After researching relevant case law, City Attorney LeFevere recommended the
creation of an outlot in place of the right -of -way that will he retained by Mr. Hanson which may
be acquired for public use at some future date. This recommended action was modified
accordingly, from the original Planning Commission recommendation.
MOTION by Wippermann to adopt A RESOLUTION APPROVING THE
ADMINISTRATIVE PLAT FOR THE HANSON ADDITION. Second by Edwards. Ayes:
Anderson, Wippermann, Busho, Carroll, Edwards. Nays: None.
Donald Carroll is requesting that the Park Dedication requirement for the Carrollton Fifth
Addition be waived on the basis that the requirement had been fulfilled with the acquisition of the
land for Carroll's Woods Park. A document was submitted to the City Attorney at this meeting.
City Attorney LeFevere requested additional time to review the document. The park dedication
fee would be $6,080.00 based on the current fee resolution.
MOTION by Busho to table the park dedication appeal by Donald Carroll for the Carrollton Fifth
Addition until further examination by the City Attorney can be made to a newly submitted
document. Second by Carroll. Ayes: Wippermann, Busho, Carroll, Edwards, Anderson. Nays:
None.
City Attorney LeFevere indicated later on in the meeting that further review would be required
and that staff will revise the Carrollton Fifth Addition resolution if required and return the tabled
park dedication appeal by Donald Carroll at the next City Council meeting.
Assistant Planner Pearson reviewed the request of John Remkus, 13040 Akron Avenue, for a
zoning text amendment for increased accessory structure square footage allowances in the
Agriculture and rural residential district. Staff reviewed Rosemount's ordinance and studied
surrounding cities' standards. Staff would like to eliminate the delineation line of east and west
of Akron Avenue having different applications Staff would recommend a tiered system, with the
exterior materials consistent with the house. The Planning Commission recommended increasing
the total allowable accessory structure's square footage to 4,800 with a single structure maximum
of 3,000 square feet. The current maximum is 1.200 square feet west of Akron Avenue and 2,400
square feet east of .Akron Avenue with no aesthetic requirements.
ROSEMOUNT CITY PROCEEDINGS
REGULAR MEETING
MAY 7, 1996
John Remkus, 13040 Akron Avenue, spoke regarding his usage of the existing buildings and his
desire to have a large cold storage shed for farm equipment and hay. Remkus does not use any
of the accessory structures for home business uses. He collects cars and his family has two
horses. Hay is grown on some of the acreage for the horses, requiring the farm equipment. The
Remkus family enjoys the rural atmosphere and had moved from Eagan partly because of the
restrictive building ordinances there.
Councilmember Wippermann expressed concern that many other residents may end up running
businesses from their rural homes if such large structures are allowed. Discussion ensued noting
that the 4,800 square feet may be excessive and that larger structures are allowed in the AG
(Agricultural) district and smaller structures in RR (Rural Residential) districts Assistant
Planner Pearson said staff could revise the ordinance with a proportionate scale for size and
district to reduce the large differences in the thresholds and that the amendment could also
exclude the rural residential element.
MOTION by Carroll to table the zoning text amendment for accessory structures relative to the
AG (Agriculture) and RR (Rural Residential) districts. Second by Edwards. Ayes: Busho,
Carroll, Edwards, Anderson, Wippermann. Nays: None.
Assistant Planner Pearson presented an amendment to change the lot coverage standard in the
General Industrial District and bring it into consistency with similar commercial and business park
standards. Now maximum lot coverage there is 50% which includes all buildings and paved
surfaces. Staff recommends 75% coverage if the site has sewer service or can accommodate and
manage storm water run off on the site. The Planning Conmtission recommends this change.
MOTION by Carroll to adopt AN ORDINANCE AMENDING ORDINANCE B CITY OF
ROSEMOUNT ZONING ORDINANCE for lot coverage standards in the General Industrial
District. Second by Wippermann. Ayes: Carroll, Edwards, Anderson, Wippermann, Busho.
Nays: None.
Administrative Intern Lotter presented the Adult Use Ordinance and zoning amendment in order
to regulate adult entertainment and its locations which are protected under the First Amendment
(freedom of expression). The city attorney and staff have been working on this for the past two
years with a moratorium in place restricting adult uses until the ordinance is in place. The City
Code will contain regulations and directives for application, license fee, investigation fee,
circumstances under which a license is granted, persons ineligible for a license, places ineligible
for a license and penalties for violations. Adult Use Establishments create secondary negative
effects and therefore can be regulated. The Zoning Code Ordinance B Amendment regulates
location by requiring buffer areas of 500 or 1000 feet. The annual fee would be $3,000. There
have not been any applicants to this point in time.
MOTION by Edwards to approve AN ORDINANCE AMENDING THE CITY CODE
THAT REGULATES ADULT USE ESTABLISHMENTS. Second by Busho. Ayes:
Edwards, Anderson, Wippermann, Busho, Carroll. Nays: None.

Community Development Director Rogness presented the Cannon Equipment request that the
City of Rosemount use Industrial Revenue Bonds as a permanent source of financing their
proposed new building in the Business Park. The "inducement" resolution is not a formal
approval of such financing; it essentially starts the time period that expenditures can be eligible for
this financing. Industrial Revenue Bonds are a tax exempt financing vehicle issued annually by the
State of Minnesota.
MOTION by Anderson to approve A RESOLUTION DECLARING THE OFFICIAL
INTENT OF THE CITY OF ROSEMOUNT TO REIMBURSE CERTAIN
EXPENDITURES FROM THE PROCEEDS OF BONDS TO BE ISSUED BY THE CITY.
Second by Busho. Ayes. Busho, Carroll, Edwards, Anderson. Wippermann. Nays: None.
Public Works Director /City Engineer Osmundson presented Change Order No. 1, on City Project
266, 1996 Street and Utility Reconstruction Project. This would allow the 300 foot segment of
sanitary sewer that runs through the garden area from Shamrock Animal Hospital to the Polfus
Equipment Property. This will allow the garden club time to schedule a plan to preserve plants
to be replanted a short time later. This was preferred to leaving the stressed sewer system until a
rupture occurs not allowing time to save the plants. It should take two days to complete this
work with the large equipment now available.
MOTION by Busho to authorize approval and necessary signature for Change Order #1 to the
1996 Street and Utility Reconstruction Improvements, City Project 266. Second by Edwards.
Ayes: Carroll, Edwards, Anderson, Wippermann, Busho. Nays: None.
Councilmember Wippermann requested that when a Public Hearing is held, whether at the
Planning Commission level or City Council, that the audience is adequately informed of the
process in which they are participating so there is an understanding of the events and results.
Most residents rarely participate in public hearings so an explanation is necessary.
MOTION by Edwards to adjourn the meeting. Second by Wippermann. Ayes: Five. Nays:
None. The meeting was adjourned at 10:15 p.m.
The City Council Agenda Packet is Clerk's File 1996 -17.

Parks and Recreation/Community Center Director Topitzhofer gave an update on Carrot's Woods
Nature Area Prairie Acquisition. A formal presentation was made to the Legislative Committee
on Minnesota Resources (LCMR). They were impressed partly because it was the only prairie
acquisition restoration project to make application. State Representative Dennis Ozment and
Senator Pat Pariseau offered supportive testimony. The committee did note that city funds would
have to match the state funds which would require an additional $112,000. LCMR makes final
decisions in August.
City Administrator Burt requested three joint meetings with the Planning Commission for

surveyed, 737 hold even year elections and 93 hold odd year election; Rosemount and Lakeville
are the only cities in Dakota County which have odd year elections; advantages of even year
elections are cost savings, voter convenience, higher voter turnout; disadvantages of even year
elections is that local election may get lost in federal and state election; advantages of 4 year
mayor term are stability and continuity; and advantage of two year mayor term is that change can
be good.
Councilmember Carroll confirmed with City Attorney LeFevere that the state prohibits a
referendum question dealing with this election issue unless it would be brought forth by petition.
Council will consider any further input from residents and directed staff to write a new ordinance.
Councilmember Wippermann noted that he doesn't like the change from odd year elections to
even years because the city issues get lost in the business of the presidential and/or state process.
MOTION by Carroll to direct staff to prepare an ordinance to implement the preferences
expressed by the public in the recent survey. Second by Edwards. Ayes Busho, Carroll,
Edwards, Anderson, Wippermann. Nays: None.
Community Development Director Rogness reviewed the Zoning Text Amendment for Accessory
Structures which was tabled on May 7, 1996, Regular City Council meeting. An application by
John Remlars was made for a zoning text amendment to increase maximum aggregate total for
accessory buildings in rural residential areas thus allowing him to build a large structure for
storage. The Planning Commission spent considerable time reviewing options and did
recommend approval of some increases. The City Council however, was not comfortable with the
increased allowable maximum aggregate. Following discussion and amendment to the
recommendation, the following actions were taken.
MOTION by Busho to adopt the zoning text amendment modifying the ordinance standards of
accessory structures in the Agriculture and Rural Residential Districts. The motion failed due to
lack of a second.
MOTION by Carroll to adopt the zoning text amendment modifying the ordinance standards of
accessory structures in the Agriculture and Rural Residential Districts with the following changes:
that asterixs be added after the 2,400 sq. ft. and the 3,000 sq. ft and the notation for the
would read, "The maximum area of any single accessory building shall not exceed 50%o of the
maximum aggregate total for accessory buildings." The motion failed due to lack of a second.
MOTION by Edwards to table the Zoning Text Amendment for Accessory Structures.
Second by Busho. Ayes: Anderson, Wippennann, Busho, Carroll, Edwards. Nays: None.
City Administrator Burt noted that City Council consensus was not in favor of the zoning text
amendment but was favorable toward the increased architectural features and to allow on ten
acres or greater when zoned in the Agricultural District a 2400 sq. ft. total aggregate for
accessory buildings. Pole buildings would still be allowable in parcels of 20 acres or more.

ROSEMOUNT CITY PROCEEDINGS
REGULAR MEETING
MAY 21, 1996
Opinions of Councilmembers on the amendment for accessory structures were as follows:
Councilmember Carroll noted he was in favor of abandoning the east -west designation of Akron
Avenue for building regulations Carroll believed the amendment was too liberal as presented and
would like design standards increased Structures not in the Agricultural District may eventually
be next to residential hones, so increases in the exterior standards would be good. Perhaps an
enforcement mechanism could be added to deal with the concern for home businesses starting up
in rural residential districts. Carroll stated his impression of Mr. Remkus's situation was that it
was inadvertent. not intentional.
Councilmember Anderson liked the old ordinance the way it was since it allowed 2400 sq. ft. in
the rural residential district. Anderson favored an increase in exterior standards but not lowering
the Agricultural District aggregate total.
Councilmember Wippermann had concerns for the increase. In 1988 Council addressed this issue
and voiced concerns then for businesses being run from rural residential areas with large
structures. Many residents have complied with the old ordinance in that time and have built
structures accordingly. He would like to see enhancement to the building material for exterior of
structures. Wippermann also felt the 2400 sq. ft. for agricultural district should he sufficient
Councilmember Edwards noted that law enforcement had several years ago closed down an
automobile "chop shop" which distributes stolen vehicle parts in the rural Rosemount area. This
is the type of business that can be easily concealable in the rural residential area. However, the
people with legitimate uses for storage, farm and animal structures should not be penalized.
Edwards reiterated the need to do "what is best for Rosemount" and not just for a individual case.
Mayor Busho said that the applicant deserves an answer to his request. Rogness and LeFevere
noted that Remkus had given the City a letter extending the 60 day notice. Rogness estimated
there were 45 days remaining. Busho noted she was not in favor of rounding off acreage to the
nearest tenth for application of the ordinance. Busho favored increased exterior standards to
maintain a residential atmosphere in the rural residential zoned area.
Community Development Director Rogness noted that an increase in design standards does
increase the cost of the structure significantly which often requires the builder to size down the
structure, as h4r. Remkus indicated he would do.
Mayor Busho directed comments to John Remkus in the audience to insure his understanding of
the proceedings. The tabling of the zoning text amendment shows City Council's doubtful
acceptance of it as recommended. Some changes may still happen, but apparently not enough for
an acceptance of the structure Remkus proposed to build.
John Remkus made comments of disappointment with City Council's decision. Remkus showed
Council a photograph of his house, buildings, and land with Koch Refining in the background and
a natural gas pipeline and a Williams Petroleum pipeline in the frontyard. His point being that
esthetics should not be an issue for his land, all though the building he proposed would have an

exterior to match the house. Remkus stated he did not intend to circumvent any regulations. He
would like to buy more land, but Koch Refining is not willing to sell any. Remkus felt City
Council left him with no alternative but to move out of Rosemount.
City Administrator Burt presented the Fine Revenue Collection Program developed by Dakota
County. Pilot programs in four cities in 1995 proved very beneficial with a significant reduction
in overdue fines and an increase in fine revenues. This is a collection method called revenue
recapture which enables the county to seize income tax reftmds, property tax refunds, renter's
credits. and lottery winnings, as payment for delinquent fines. This is a joint powers agreement
inviting most major cities in Dakota County to participate.
MOTION by Wippermann to approve the Joint Powers Agreement for Enhanced Fine Revenue
Collection Program for the City of Rosemount. Second by Edwards. Ayes: Wippermann, Busho,
Carroll, Edwards, Anderson. Nays: None.
Senior Planner Mack presented the request to hire a consultant for design services for the
Rosemount Commercial Center Streetscape and Urban Design Plan. The goal is to revitalize the
commercial center area and identify broader objectives to create a design element linking street
and public spaces. This will help guide and initiate improvements for the community. RLK
Associates would provide: 1) a concept plan; 2) preliminary streetscape plan; and 3) a final
Master Plan. Discussion followed.
MOTION by Wippermann to approve a contract agreement with RLK Associates for
Commercial Center Streetscape and Urban Design Plan Services. Second by Carroll. Ayes:
Busho, Carroll, Edwards, Anderson, Wippermann. Nays: None.
Parks and Recreation/Community Center Director Topitzhofer proposed a full -time position to
streamline scheduling and have more expertise in sophisticated building equipment and rental
requirements. This would cover evenings and weekends, the "Wedding Shift Staff is required
to have Council approval for all new full time positions.
MOTION by Anderson to authorize posting and advertising of a full time Building Attendant.
Second by Carroll. Ayes: Carroll, Edwards, Anderson, Wippermann, Busho. Nays: None.
Mayor Busho requested discussion on the resignation of the payroll clerk and authorizing the
replacement process. Busho pointed out that exit interviews should be policy so that the City can
gain from their knowledge. Busho noted disappointment that good key people choose to seek
employment elsewhere. City Administer Burt assured Council that exit interviews are made
although it is not written in policy form.
MOTION by Edwards to accept the resignation of Linda Mortenson, Payroll Clerk, and to
authorize staff to proceed with replacement of the payroll clerk position. Second by Busho.
Ayes: Edwards, Anderson, Wippermann, Busho, Carroll. Nays: None.

Mayor Cathy Busho and Planning Commission Chairperson William Droste called the joint
worksession to order at 5:30 p.m. with all members of the City Council and Planning Commission
present. Also present were Community Development Director Dan Rogness, Senior Planner Andrew
Mack and Assistant Planner Rick Pearson.
Community Development Director Rogness opened the joint worksession by explaining the purpose
of this worksession and the worksession scheduled for June 11, 1996. Mr. Rogness then turned the
meeting over to John Voss, Consultant for the Chippendale/42 Partnership project.
Mr. Voss briefly reviewed the concept plan for this project. He mentioned that a resolution was
passed by the City Council in December of 1995 requiring that the applicant have a market analysis
and traffic analysis completed for this project. Ivfr. Voss then introduced Lloyd Graven of Graven
Associates.
Mr. Graven reviewed and summarized the market study that was completed by Graven Associates
covering the following topics: retail market analysis, office market, impact of proposed development
and potential alternative locations. He reviewed the process and assumptions that were used in
preparing this market study analysis. Mr. Graven opened the floor to anyone who had questions on
the market study.
Various questions were raised including how the primary trade area was determined, the effect this
prbject would have on the "downtown" area (businesses potentially relocating to this commercial
area), and the effect an additional 1,000 residential units east of the railroad tracks would have on
this study.
Mr. Graven summarized that the type of commercial area that would most likely suit this area is a
"neighborhood" store development which includes grocery stores, drug stores, hardware stores and
other businesses that would be used on a daily basis.
Jim Johnson, Civil Engineer for Bolton, Inc., reviewed the completed traffic study. He stated that the

recommendation for changes of the permitted uses for the Business Park Zoning Districts. The
long list of permitted uses was cleaned up to clearly present the purpose and intent of business
parks in Rosemount. City Council had a work session with the Port Authority, Planning
Commission, and staff. Councilmember Anderson complimented staff for the thorough review,
going line by line, so all involved had knowledge of details needed to make good decisions.

that in the sixth "whereas," the item listed as 3. "a large accessory structure may potentially foster
a land use which is not permitted in either the Agriculture or Rural Residential Districts," was a
proper basis for denial and Carroll did not agree with item 4. "that the amendment did not create
appropriate standards by which large accessory structures might be regulated."
MOTION by Anderson to adopt A RESOLUTION TO DENY THE ZONING TEXT
AMENDMENT TO SECTION 7.2 ACCESSORY BUILDINGS OF THE
SUPPLEMENTARY REGULATIONS OF ORDINANCE B as requested by John Remkus,
13040 Akron Avenue. Second by Edwards. Ayes: Busho, Edwards, Anderson. Nays: Carroll.
Motion was passed.
Mayor Busho discussed the transit tax levy. Previously, the Metropolitan Council collected the
taxes utilized for regional transit. The creation of the Minnesota Valley Transit Authority
(MVTA) and other opt -out transit agencies allowed for enhanced local service by the member's
communities, but the funding was still provided by the Met Council. Tax revenues that were not
spent went back to the Met Council to be used elsewhere in the region Recent legislation would

change this so that transit taxes would be levied by Rosemount, in our case. This will not impact
local taxes. It will give Rosemount more control over the revenue via participation in the MVTA.
MOTION by Busho to adopt A RESOLUTION APPROVING THE LEVY OF THE
TRANSIT TAX in accordance with State Statute 473.388. Second by Carroll. Ayes: Carroll,
Edwards, Anderson, Busho. Nays: None.

Appurtenant Work, City Project 274; Order Plans and Specifications, Approve Plans and
Specifications. and Authorize Advertisement for Bid. The affidavits of Published and Posted
Notice were on file.
Public Works Director /City Engineer Osmundson described City Project 274 as a street overlay
for the Carrollton Addition, west of Chili Avenue and north of 145th Street West. The streets
were originally constructed in 1978 1979. Two seal coatings have been done since then. Much
of the curb and gutter are sinking and in need of repair. The assessment is estimated to be $261
per lot. Sixty -five percent of the project will come from the 1996 General Fund and 35% is
assessed to benefitting properties. The Assessment Hearing is scheduled for September 17, 1996
at which time residents can appeal their assessment if desired. Council discussed the regular
repair and replacement of city streets noting this project was justified.
Mayor Busho called for audience input.
Mike Mielke, 3495 144 Street, questioned the wisdom of putting the overlay on before the seven
new lots are built on 144th Street. There would be large machines and heavy traffic. Osmundson
noted it is common to go ahead with street repair projects especially when there is no definite
commitment for when the lots will develop.
Marvin Friesen, 3499 I 43rd Street West, questioned the amount of the assessment and noted that
it should be more fairly distributed.
Mike Carlson, 3515 144 Street, commented on the timing of the project when the seven lots
could cause construction soon. Councilmember Edwards noted that it could cost more if the City
waits.
Neighbors complained about the Carrollton Addition having hazards for children and weeds. City
Attorney LeFevere said it may be a case of negligence, but no formal complaints came forward.
MOTION by Busho to close the Public Hearing for the 1996 Bituminous Overlay and
Appurtenant Work, City Project 274, Order Plans and Specifications/Approve Plans and
Specifications /and Authorize Advertisement for Bid. Second by Anderson. Ayes: Edwards,
Anderson, Busho, Carroll. Nays. None.
MOTION by Edwards to adopt A RESOLUTION ORDERING THE PROJECT;
ORDERING THE PREPARATION OF PLANS AND SPECIFICATIONS; APPROVE

PROJECT 274. Second by Anderson. .Ayes: Anderson, Busho, Carroll, Edwards. Nays: None.
Finance Director May explained the new aid program called Local Performance Aid (LPA) passed
in the latest legislative session. It requires cities to have a performance measurement system in
place to receive Homestead and Agricultural Credit Aid (HACA). Compliance is not required in
1997, but indication must be made that a process is beginning. Further property tax reform is
expected in the next few years.
MOTION by Anderson to adopt A RESOLUTION ACKNOWLEDGING LOCAL
PERFORMANCE AID LEGISLATION and to file the necessary certification with the
Minnesota Department of Revenue to receive our Local Performance Aid for 1997. Second by
Busho. Ayes: Busho, Carroll, Edwards, Anderson. Nays: None.
City Administrator Burt noted that the Performance Aid Legislation shows potential problems
because cities' method's differ so greatly, they will not be comparing "apples to apples."
Councilmernber Edwards noted that Phoenix did a pilot program with performance evaluation and
much of the work was then given to private contractors. However, after several years, they found
that wasn't working well.
Mayor Busho noted some upcoming meetings: June 1 lth, 5:30 p.m. ajoint meeting with the
Planning Commission on the McNamara Development. June 14th is Teen Night. Several
Councilmernbers and City Administrator Burt will be attending the League of Minnesota
Conference in Rochester, Minnesota, June 11 14.
MOTION by Edwards to adjourn the meeting. Second by Carroll. Ayes: Four. Nays: None.

JUNE 18, 1996
Administrative Intern Lotter reported that American Portable Telecom, a wireless
communications service provider, has requested a zoning text amendment that would allow the
construction of commercial use antenna towers in the agriculture district. The Federal
Communications Act requires that cities must allow space for communication towers in their
boundaries. Council consensus was to put towers in the Industrial Zones. Several changes were
suggested in the ordinance. Staff was requested to obtain more technical and environmental
information. City Attorney LeFevere cautioned that since this technology is very new, current
laws and restrictions, such as co- location of multiple companies on the same tower, have not been
tested in courts of law yet. Lotter noted that the zoning request has a 60 day limit and this would
be the 42nd day so there will be time to bring this issue back to City Council.
MOTION by Carroll to table the amendment to the City Zoning Code Ordinance B regulating
commercial use of antenna towers. Second by Busho. Ayes: Anderson, Wippermann, Busho,
Carroll, Edwards. Nays: None. The motion was carried.
SKB Environmental requested a Zoning Ordinance Text Amendment to permit an expansion to
their current landfill. The land this will effect is a strip 130 feet by 2300 feet just inside the
northern boarder of Rosemount. They would maintain a fifty foot easement away from their
property line, the minimum setback set by state law. A rezoning of the property from IG
General Industrial to WM Waste Management would be required. The volume would be limited
and a tipping fee would be paid per cubic yard of material. Planning Commission and staff
recommend its approval. If the text amendment is approved staffrecomcnends that the rezoning
be tabled until a satisfactory site plan and the Interim Use Permit application is submitted.
MOTION by Carroll to approve a zoning ordinance text amendment providing for a construction
demolition waste facility as a permitted interim use in the WM -Waste Management District.
Second by Edwards. Ayes: Wippermann, Busho, Carroll, Edwards. Anderson. Nays: None. The
motion was carried.
MOTION by Carroll to table action on a rezoning for SKB Environmental from IG- General
Industrial to WM -Waste Management District. Second by Edwards. Ayes: Busho, Carroll,
Edwards, Anderson, Wippermann. Nays: None. The motion was carried.
Community Development Director Rogness reviewed an amendment to the Wensmann Ninth
Addition Planned Unit Development which would initiate a land swap for park land in the
development with adjoining land, a Rosewood Manor parcel, to develop a family resource center.
Terry Wensmann was agreeable to the arrangement as well as supporters of the family resource
center.
Barb Brown and T. J. Adams, perspective residents of the Wensmann Ninth Development,
expressed their desire for a quiet, tranquil atmosphere of green open space rather than a park with
a basketball hoop, parking lot, and meeting building.
Parks and Recreation/Community Center Director Topitzhofer noted that the Parks and
Recreation Committee has been working on a fancily resource center with local groups, Dakota

County Human Services, and Community Action Council for the past two years. Grants have
been obtained for much of the project and agencies have pledged money for operating expenses.
Mayor Busho said this is certainly a "win/win" situation and thanked those involved for being
cooperative.
Sheila Klassen, from RPP (Rosemount Partnership Program) was pleased with the healthy
community initiatives and thanked Penny Butler from DAP (Dakota Alliance for Prevention) and
Angie Dickson from CAC (Community Action Council) for their support and involvement.
Terry Wensmann was willing to do the land swap to maintain the quiet green space as was
expected from future townhome owners. Councilmembers noted that "parks" can be interpreted
differently to many people, but in the future clear communication should be made to all
developers on what should be expected. Developers must likewise realize that community
planning involves more than just the residents in their own development.
MOTION by Edwards to approve the amendment to the Wensmann Ninth Addition Planned Unit
Development subject to: 1) execution of an amendment to the Planned Unit Development
agreement to secure the transfer of Outlot A, Wensmann Ninth Addition to the developer in
return for the 1.23 acre Rosemount Manor outlot for public park development; 2) conformance
with all applicable building, fire and zoning code standards relative to the five dwelling units; 3)
incorporation of recommendations relative to grading, utilities and easement identified by the
Public Works Department; 4) confonnance with requirements for the Planned Unit Development
Final Plan and Final Plat relative to the development of Outlot A, Wensmann Ninth Addition.
Second by Wippermann. Ayes: Carroll, Edwards, Anderson, Wippennann, Busho. Nays: None.

Planned Development Residential (Kelley Trust Property)
SUMMARY OF JOINT WORKSESSION -NNE 25, 1996
Mayor Cathy Busho called the joint worksession to order at 5:35 p.m. with City Council Member
Dennis Wippermann, City Council Member John Edwards, City Council Member Kevin Carroll,
Planning Chairperson Bill Droste, Planning Commissioner Mark DeBettiw ies, Planning
Commissioner Jay Tentinger and Planning Commissioner Kim Shoe Corrigan present Also present
were City Administrator Tom Burt, Senior Planner Andrew Mack, Assistant Planner Rick Pearson,
Director of Public Works Bud Osmundson, Director of Parks and Recreation Jim Topitzhofer and
Intern Dean Lotter.
Assistant Planner Pearson stated that the Kelley Trust property is approximately 520 acres, all of
which will eventually be located in the 1vIUSA. He stated that this piece of land is a transitional area
between urban residential and rural residential and contains many unique topographical features. Mr.
Pearson then reviewed a base map of this area and the location of the topographical features. He
mentioned that Staff has divided the Kelley Trust property into 3 separate development areas and he
discussed net acreage and density for each area. Staff has concluded that the developer is entitled to
1,020 dwelling units pursuant to the Comprehensive Guide Plan. Mr. Pearson also reviewed possible
street connections to each of the 3 separate areas. Mr. Pearson mentioned that the Planning
Commission discussed this matter at a worksession on May 14, 1996, and that Staff was looking for
further direction from the Planning Commission and City Council in regards to possibly transferring
density from one area of the Kelley Trust property to another area of the Kelley Trust property in
order to preserve some of the land for open space.
Director of Public Works Osmundson stated that he had a telephone discussion with Tim Dwyer, a
representative of the Kelley Trust, and that Mr. Dwyer stated that he is currently negotiating with 3
potential developers/buyers of the property. Ivlr. Osmundson mentioned that the area along Shannon
Parkway has been assessed to the Kelley Trust property and therefore, the Kelley Trust is guaranteed
to develop approximately 200 dwelling units.
A short discussion on MUSA issues and timing concerns occurred

Assistant Planner Pearson displayed an older map which showed the Kelley Trust property all
developed as R -1 Single Family Residential (approximately 1,050 dwelling units). The majority of'
the trees, ponds, slopes, etc. were eliminated with this proposal.
A discussion took place regarding the following: (1) open space; (2) protected park area and trail
system; (3) the possibility of transferring density from the area along Shannon Parkway to the Daly
Farm area; (4) tree preservation; and (5) park dedication.

Council Member Wippermann stated that he has 2 objectives: (1) to preserve the natural resources
and topography of this property; and (2) remain sensitive to the rural residential neighbors (need
transitional area). He seeks to keep the density on all 3 areas as low as possible. Mr. Wippermann
felt that 1,020 dwelling units on this site is excessive and the character of the land will be destroyed if
this many units are allowed. He felt the City needed to challenge this number and develop another
scenario to lower the dwelling units allowed.
Council Member Edwards felt that the same issues were being discussed now in regards to this
property as were being discussed 6 years ago when the Comprehensive Guide Plan was being
redrafted. Mr. Edwards commented that the consensus was for lower density and downzoning. He
requested that Staff design language consistent with this consensus and bring that back for
discussion. Mr. Edwards stated that he needed to see something more tangible and believed that the
City needed to act on this issue expeditiously to mitigate some of the timing issues.
Planning Commissioner Shoe Corrigan stated that she was concerned with the future of the wildlife
in this area if it were all to be developed. She mentioned that possibly the Kelley Trust would be
open to conservation easements. She stated that this was the last open space area left in the western
end of the City and would Like to see it stay open space (which does not include parks, ball fields,
etc. but left as undeveloped land). Ms. Shoe Corrigan also requested that the community have some
input in this issue.
Planning Chairman Droste felt that the majority of the community would support open space in this
area and commented that if this land were all developed as R -1 Single -Family Residential the natural
features would be lost.
It was concluded that Staff would: (1) schedule a bus tour in the near future to allow the City
Council and Planning Commission to view clustering developments, multi family developments, etc.;
(2) create draft language (with guidance from the City Attorney) for the City Council and Planning
Commission to review in the near future; and (3) obtain acreage and total dwelling units of various
developments in the City.
The worksession was closed at 6:50 p.m.
Pursuant to due call and notice thereof a regular meeting of the Rosemount City Council was duly
held on Tuesday, July 2, 1996, at 7:31 p.m. in the Council Chambers at City Hall, 2875 145th

purchase of play structure equipment for the future site of the Family Resource Center.
Representatives from Northern States Power were Melinda Marson, Manager of Corporate
Contributions, and Patrick Kline, Community Service Manager. Ms. Marson presented the gift to
Mary Ajax, Executive Director of Community Action Council and commended the wonderful
grass roots program. The Rosemount Parks and Recreation Department has been working with
the Rosemount Partnership Program in establishing a resource center to promote self sufficiency,
school success, violence and crime prevention, youth resiliency, and personal responsibility. A
temporary family center is now located in Kidder Townhomes, in the heart of Rosemount's high
density and low income neighborhood.
Mayor Busho thanked Parks and Recreation Community Center Director Topitzhofer for
applying for the grant and supporting this positive program. The Mayor and Councilmembers
proceeded into the audience to congratulate all parties and thank Northern States Power
Foundation.
City Administrator Burt explained the effort of southern suburbs to build a four -plex ice arena.
This would have four sheets of ice primarily for practice time of youth hockey teams. Lakeville is
interested but other communities have not yet committed to the idea. There is a new high school
planned in ISD 196 which may change boundaries for athletic clubs and therefore down size the
already existing Rosemount Area Hockey Association (RAHA). RAHA is reluctant to commit or
back this proposal. Girls hockey has become very popular and additional ice time would be
anticipated. Springsted is doing the financial research for the project. Mayor Busho noted that
Rosemount would not like to see a loss of revenue at the Community Center Ice Arena. Staff will
continue to follow the progress of this proposed ice arena.
City Administrator Burt introduced Bill Morris of Decision Resources who conducted a city wide
survey in 1988, which was the last survey taken for the City. Staff proposes that a new survey be
conducted to provide useful information to guide future direction and a check and balance of how
the City is doing. Morris recommended a telephone survey of 400 residents which would provide

information with a 5% accuracy rate. There is no list of standard survey questions. Each city is
unique and requires questions specific to the area. Council, staff and some residents would meet
to "brain storm" to come up with effective questions concerning Rosemount Burt noted that
over the next few weeks a work session will be scheduled and the survey would be taken after
November 5 and before November 28. Funding for the survey was provided by U.S.P.C.I.

Busho, Carroll, Edwards, Anderson, Wippermann. Nays: None. Motion carried.
Item 4.k and 4.m. were pulled from the Consent Agenda. Discussion on 4.m. noted that a speed
study could actually cause the miles per -hour to be raised rather than lowered. Staff was asked to
review.
MOTION by Anderson to approve the Consent Agenda without Item 4.k. Receive Feasibility

Community Development Director Rogness reviewed the CMC Heartland Partners Concept
Residential Planned Unit Development on 226 acres of land north of 145th Street and CSAH 42,
east of Biscayne Avenue and south of the railroad tracks. The concept includes 634 dwelling
units arranged in four distinct neighborhoods. The creative curval -linear arrangement of lots is
intended to provide quiet friendly streets and slower traffic. Trails and open space would combine
mainly on the outer boundaries connecting to a 17 acre park. There are many variances proposed;
smaller lot size, narrower streets, and the right -of -way is reduced. Engineering staff has indicated
concerns regarding these variances and the utility design. There are 70 acres in the Metropolitan
Urban Service Area, and the remaining acres would need to be added. The Planning Commission
recommends approving the concept with conditions. Council discussed several options.
Paul Wrolstad, 14545 Biscayne Way, noted concern for children walking to downtown on 145th
Street West, which he has done with his family. This is a dangerous walk because of a lot of
truck traffic and having to walk on the side of the road.
Rick Pagenkoph, 14620 Biscayne Way, believes there is a market for smaller low maintenance
lots Constoff had concems for children near the railroad track which is a natural draw to kids.
He also noted that a bike trail to town would be needed for safety. The developer noted that
there is a steep grade around the railroad tracks that provide a natural barrier. For the most part
the tracks can not be seen from the development. Parks and Recreation Director Topitzhofer
noted that tunnels and bridges were considered, but in reality the children would still cross the
railroad tracks where it is not safe Park and Recreation Committee agrees that a bike path would
be appropriate off the road along 145th Street West.

REGULAR MEETING
SEPTEMBER 17, 1996
The Council tonight is asked to approve, deny or make suggestions on this planned unit
development. Council noted draw backs of restrictive parking, many variances, potential traffic
problems. narrow streets, garages in front, changes to collector streets, and the gas pipeline
easement issue
Attorney Reid Hansen, representative for CMC Heartland requested Council not to deny the
planned unit development, but to table it to allow design changes that would be closer to
Council's liking. Staff indicated that an extension letter had been received from Mr. Hansen for
public review by October 15, 1996.
Councilmember Carroll encouraged the developer on his creative ideas which has a valid
underlying philosophy with unique features. This is the first extensive discussion City Council has
had on this development and he would like to see what changes the developer might offer.
MOTION by Edwards to table action regarding the concept for CMC Heartland Partners `B
Site" to enable the developer to revise the concept to eliminate or reduce the required conditions
of approval. Second by Anderson. Ayes: Edwards, Anderson, Wippermann, Busho, Carroll.
Nays: None. Motion carried.
Community Development Director Rogness reviewed the Concept Residential Planned Unit
Development for Basic Builders for a nixed housing proposal including cottage homes,
townhouses and twinhomes. The PUD is located on outlots B C, University Addition, between
Biscayne Way and CSAH 42. The combined property consists of 36 acres and is just beyond the
Metropolitan Urban Service Area. It has proposed to build 126 units at a density of 3.5 units per
acre. Council concluded that this would be an appropriate use. Refinement to the development
should include moving the street to match the CMC street across Biscayne Avenue, grading and
utility changes, and further separation.buffernig from the homes on Biscayne Way.
Rick Cook, 14655 Biscayne Way, representing Biscayne Way residents noted concerns of
neighbors on the northern border of the property and an easement on that property line.
Ena Cisewski, 14675 Biscayne Way, voiced concern for the large grove of trees and realignment
of the street.
Paul Wrolstad, 14545 Biscayne Way, asked about homes on slabs and ifa storm shelter might be
required for protection. Staff noted that a shelter is not required.

Mayor Busho introduced Jim Stark and Scott Grant from the Metropolitan Mosquito Control
District Mr. Grant gave an overview of the activities to prevent mosquito larvae and adult
mosquitoes from interrupting everyone's life style. There were only 2 -3 hatchings this year when
usually there would be 6 9 hatchings. About 330 areas were treated in Rosemount including
many of the parks and the city for Leprechaun Days. This agency also picks up many of the auto
tires left in ditches, about 500 to 800 in Rosemount this year, so that breeding grounds are not
encouraged. Mr. Stark distributes public information for the Metropolitan Mosquito Control
District. Television, radio, and newspapers are used to get the message out on prevention and aid
for mosquito borne diseases and annoyances. Mayor Busho thanked them for the good job they
have done.
Dakota County Attorney James C. Backstrom updated the City Council on prevention of crime
and violence. Backstrom commended Rosemount for being a leader in this area by approaching
his office last year to start a grass roots group to help reduce violence and crime. Beatrice
Battalia from Dakota Alliance for Prevention, Sheila Klassen of Rosemount Partnership, and John
Edwards, the Justice Department have been active participants to help prevent violence and gang
activity.

City Administrator Burt updated the City Council on the Western Dakota Ice Arena and their
request to have the City of Rosemount commit to 1/4 of a sheet of ice. This group has asked
Council to take action tonight because of the deadline for the Mighty Ducks Fund application.
RAHA, Rosemount Area Hockey Association, expressed concern over the cost of the
contribution of S125,000 and their ability to raise that much. Mayor Busho also expressed
concerns on the affect this four -plex ice arena might have on usage of ice time at the Rosemount
Community Center Ice Arena. Staff can not recommend participation at this time.

Mayor Busho moved New Business agenda Item 7.a. Chippendale/42 Partnership Mixed Use
Planned Unit Development to follow Item 7.c. Proposed Rezoning Twin Home Lots from R -1A
to R -2 in the Edwin Rahn Addition.
Assistant Planner Pearson presented a staff initiated rezoning of the duplexes along Chili Avenue,
148th Street West and Charleston Avenue. They were rendered non conforming in 1989 with the
adoption of the updated zoning ordinance. Previously, two family residential uses were permitted
in the R -1 District via a Planned Unit Development or platting appropriately sized lots. This
request to rezone is precipitated by the tire damage of one of the duplexes and the property
owner's inability to obtain a building permit to rebuild. On September 24, 1996 the Planning
Commission conducted a Public Hearing where about 30 residents stated concerns which were
related to code enforcement and housing maintenance issues. These residents were not in favor of'
the rezoning Staff noted that the rezoning is a "use" issue rather than the enforcement of codes.
The home owner did not want to build a single family resident but rebuild the duplex and continue
to use it as a rental property. Attorney Michael Broback represented the home owner. City
Attorney LeFevere noted that a variance is not allowed by state statutes due to the land use issue.
A zoning amendment might be used to change the land uses. City Administrator Burt noted that
if the City Council would deny the rezoning then the owner would have to remove or till the
foundation and a vacant lot would result.
Neil Jacobson, 3370 Upper 147th Street, noted concerns about renters and property owners that
don't take care of their property.
ROSEMOUNT CITY PROCEEDINGS
REGULAR MEETING
OCTOBER 1, 1996
Henry G. (Hank) Broback, owner of the duplex, noted that the other duplex units weren't going
anywhere. It could be many years before this housing would be old enough to remove. He
suggested that the City and landlords get together to do something about the up keep and
appearance in the area.
MOTION by Carroll to adopt an ordinance rezoning the two family residential Tots of Rahn's
Seventh Addition from R -1A Single Family Residential to R -2 Single Family Attached
Residential. Second by Edwards. Discussion ensued. Ayes: Carroll, Edwards, Anderson,
Wippermann, Busho. Nays: None. Motion carried.
Council consensus was that a non conforming use status may discourage other owners from
maintaining what they do have. Also reasoning that an empty lot in the middle of the twin homes
would not tend to change the neighborhood.
City Administrator Burt commented that the Housing Maintenance Code could put home owners
into compliance with debris, garbage and parking issues. The Police Department will start to
issue such violations and preform code enforcement. Staff can also review measures to tighten
maintenance codes.
Community Development Director Rogness summarized the process used for the Chippendale /42
Partnership Mixed Use Planned Unit Development, Final Development Plan, Preliminary Plat and
MUSA Amendment. Since December 5, 1995 the concept plan has changed with more definite
information available now. Attorney Peter Coyle of Larkin Law Firm noted the Market Study
shows Rosemount can support this development and will generate growth in the core area.
Although the Chippendale /42 Partners are willing to work with the City, they would note excess
requests in Exhibit B Item 4. with street expenses and page 3 6.d. the expense of the watermain.
Michael McNamara, a partner in Chippendale /42 Partnership reviewed his connections with family
and the City of Rosemount and his land purchase in 1978. Rosemount National Bank purchased
the northeast corner of the property in 1982. McNamara noted that this development has taken
great effort, time and money.
Councilmetnbers asked many questions of the developers which were clarified. Street alignment,
landscape screening, lighting, and the building design of Walgreens were discussed.
Ted Peterson, represented the Board of Directors for Wensmann Townhomes. Peterson
discussed the benning and screening with regard to headlights disturbing homes across the street
from Walgreens.
Ron Bennett, Upper 149th Street West, wondered if the market study really supported the idea of
another drug store in Rosemount? Bennett thought signage could distract from the quality of life
and he felt more trees should be added on the north side of Walgreens.
Steve Worner, 3864 Upper 149th Street West, agreed that more landscaping should go on the
north side with an ash tree every 20 feet. Hours of business operation should be set now. There

will be more traffic, but he felt a stop light on CSAH 42 and Claret Ave. would make more noise
with starts and stops.
Community Development Director Rogness reviewed the process of requesting Metropolitan
Urban Service Area (MUSA) expansion from Metropolitan Council.
MOTION by Anderson to approve the request to amend the City's Comprehensive Guide Plan
and direct staff to prepare a MUSA expansion submission to the Metropolitan Council for the 30
acres adjacent to CSAH 42. Second by Carroll. Ayes: Edwards, Anderson, Busho, Carroll
Nays: Wippermann. Motion carried.
Councilmember Wippermann noted that he had concerns about the hours of operation, the
screening on the north side and starting the development on the west side, and so he would not
show support for the project
MOTION by Anderson to adopt A RESOLUTION TO APPROVE THE MIXED USE
PLANNED UNIT DEVELOPMENT, PRELIMINARY PLAT AND FIRST PHASE SITE
PLAN FOR THE CHIPPENDALE /42 PARTNERSHIP as amended to include signal Tight
expenses and street improvements on Claret Avenue and CSAH 42 which would be born by the

final plat

Mayor Busho deferred the Mini Storage Zoning Ordinance Text Amendment to the next meeting
because of the hour. Mr. Tony Vavoulis spoke briefly describing the storage industry and
answered several questions. Senior Planner Mack had prepared a draft Zoning Ordinance Text
Amendment which defines mini- storage, permits the use in appropriate zoning districts and
creates applicable standards. Councilmember Wippermann expressed concerns about the
Brockway Glass land to be used for this use due to its existing IG District. City Administrator
Burt suggested a work session to discuss the long range zoning placements for mini- storage.
Mayor Busho called the meeting to a close. The meeting was adjourned at 12:30 p.m.

Pursuant to due call and notice thereof a regular meeting of the Rosemount City Council was duly
held on Tuesday, October 15, 1996, at 7:30 p.m. in the Council Chambers at City Hall,
2875 145th Street West.
Mayor Busho called the meeting to order with Councilmembers Anderson, Carroll, Edwards,
Wippermann, and Anderson present. Also, present were City Attorney Bubul, City Administrator
Burt, Community Development Director Rogness, Assistant Planner Pearson, Parks and
Recreation/ Community Center Director Topitzhofer, Public Works Director /City Engineer
Osmundson, and Finance Director May.
Changes were made to the agenda. Two items were pulled for separate polling from the Consent
Agenda, Item 6.g. Appointment of Election Judges and Item 6.k. AAA Auto Salvage
Administrative Plat. New Business added Item 11. a. 1. Receive Petition/Order Plans Spec's
for Wensmann 10th Addition Utilities, City Project 277. Additional information was received for
Item 6.k. AAA Auto Salvage Administrative Plat naming it Highstone Development and revisions
to Item 11.c. Snowplow Policy, and SEH recommendations for Item 11.d. Receive Bids /Award
Contract for Underground Storage Tank Replacement.
Mayor Busho called attention to Item 5.b. Rahn Addition Petition which had been presented to
City Council. Mayor Busho received the petition for the record. The petition stated, "We
petition that you rethink your decision on the rezoning of the Rahn Addition. We are displeased
with the Board's decision to zone this area as a multi- family housing area. We feel it should
remain zoned as a single family housing area. Please honor the Planning Committee's
recommendation not to rezone this area. We also feel that we were not properly notified of the
Board's meeting that took place Tuesday, October 1, 1996. We should have been notified of the
Board's intent to vote on this matter. We feel that we were not adequately represented." There
were 79 signatures on the petition.
Mayor Busho opened the floor to public comment. It was apparent that many people were in
attendance for the Rahn Addition Petition. Those interested in commenting were asked to
approach the podium one at a time and then state their name and address for the record.
Monica Oehjen, 3427 Upper 147th Street, noted they had taken photographs of the area to show
code violations and to show that homes in the area are not kept up. Oehjen stated that pride of
ownership seems to help keep homes in better shape and that renters tend not to do as well.
Oehjen and some neighbors did a survey and found that single homes were better kept than twin
homes.
Neil Jacobson, Upper 147th Street, was surprised that the Planning Commission decision didn't
carry more weight with the City Council. Jacobson said to note the number of people in
attendance, about 40, and Council should realize their decision was unfair.
John Doeslven, 3275 148th Street, has lived in Rosemount for 22 years in a single family home.
When he bought he asked city staff if all the homes in the area would be single family and he was

told yes. This has not turned out to be true. The twin homes have brought crime including drugs
to his neighborhood.
Marcia Nelson, 3295 148th Street, felt that the integrity of the zoning laws were in jeopardy. If
this area can be rezoned what would stop any other area from changing? Nelson noted that multi-
family housing needs to be accountable.
Pat Jacobsen, Upper 147th Street, noted the illegal activity, general eye -soar, and graffiti are a
detriment to property value and safety of the residents.
Mr. Oehjen, 3427 Upper 149th Street, agreed with each complaint and felt Council should not
rezone the Rahn Addition property.
Diane Haze, Upper 149th Court, questioned the process and why the Planning Commission held
the Public Hearing.
Steve Frezel, 148th Street and Chili Avenue, felt the zoning should remain the same as R -1. He
told Council to over look the few for the many.
Attorney Mike Broback, representing Henry Broback, spoke in his behalf Attorney Broback
noted that if non conforming uses were to continue the neighborhood would find more rundown
homes and worse conditions. He reasoned that the new twin home will be all new material, in
effect, a new building, therefore improving the neighborhood. Broback agreed that code
conformance should be improved and suggested that the city and neighborhood work together.
Jerry Goodrich, 148th Street, noted that there have been problems for decades with R -1 and
multi family housing
Mayor Busho closed the public comment. Busho noted that most of the complaints are still for
housing code violations. This is, as it should be, a land use issue. Busho agreed that there have
been growth pains with rental property, but that City Council after careful consideration
determined that the rezoning from R -I A to R -2 would be appropriate.
Councilmember Edwards asked Assistant Planner Pearson to review the history of the rezoning in
the Rahn Addition which is near Chippendale and 147th Street Pearson noted that the property
was zoned R -1 which before 1989 included twin homes In 1989 the Comprehensive Guide Plan
was updated and changed. At that time R -2 was created to include twin/town homes, so the R -1
zoning no longer allowed for twin homes, so the twin homes there became non conforming uses.
The approved rezoning would put the twin homes back in- conformance and allow Henry Broback
to rebuild his twin home that was damaged by a tire.
Councilmember Carroll complimented the quality of the discussion held this evening. Council
agrees with the concerns of 1) violation of state law, ie. drugs, trespassing; 2) violations of
building and maintenance codes; and 3) empowerment through continued talk with neighbors and

working together. Carroll encouraged the residents to continue with positive steps and working
with city staff.
Councilmember Wippermann thanked the audience for their attendance it demonstrated their care
for their community and the need for additional enforcement of maintenance codes.
Councilmember Anderson maintained the decision of the City Council to rezone but encouraged
staff to mandate code enforcement.
City Administrator Burt noted that the Police Department will begin helping with code
enforcement by issuing violation citations. This will mean that these code laws will be applied
fairly and consistently through out the City of Rosemount. If you as a resident witness a code
violation or breaking of a state or city law, the Police Department needs to be made aware of it at
the time of the incident. Mayor Busho said that each resident can be a part of the solution.
MOTION by Edwards to approve the amended Consent Agenda. Second by Wippermann.
Ayes: Five. Nays: None. Motion carried.
MOTION by Edwards to approve the Appointment of Election Judges. Second by Wippermann.
Ayes: Four. Nays: None. Present: Edwards. Motion carried.

AAA Auto Salvage. Second by Edwards. Ayes: Wippermann. Busho, Carroll, Edwards. Nays:
None. Abstain: Anderson. Motion carried.
Mayor Busho opened the Public Hearing for John Remlcus Appeal of Variance Denial, 13040
Akron Avenue. The recording secretary noted that the affidavits of posted and published notice
were on file.
Assistant Planner Pearson reviewed the Remkus Appeal of Variance Denial of a 540 square foot
shed constructed without a building permit which was beyond the allowed 2,400 square foot
allowance for accessory structures. Planning Commission, staff, and City Council have
considered this variance and confer that it does not create hardship for the owner and that
conformance with the zoning conditions are necessary.
John Rentkus, 13040 Akron Avenue, explained that the shed is for his daughter's and wife's
horses. The shed has no foundation, no water, no electric, and is solely for shelter. Rendcus
presented a petition signed by 52 neighbors in support of the shed. Koch Refining the largest
property owner neighboring his property gave him a letter of support for the shed. Remkus noted
that the shed does not detract from anyone else's property as it is behind his pole barn shop
building
Beth Bergacker, 13080 Akron Avenue, supported the Remkus variance. Bergacker noted that
the shed was a three sided lean two and most of the surrounding land was owned by Koch

Refining which would not be bothered by this small building. Bergacker saw no reason not to
grant the variance.
Councilmember Carroll commented in favor of the variance. Carroll noted no malice was
intended toward the Remkus family. Council understood that the building permit omission was an
oversight by the contractor employed and on hind sight could have been avoided. Common sense
applied here could allow this variance since it is not close to the roadway and no neighbor came
forward to complain. Council consensus was that the zoning ordinance and building codes
should be upheld.
MOTION by Busho to close the public hearing for the John Remkus Appeal of Variance Denial,
13040 Akron Avenue. Second by Edwards. Ayes: Five. Nays: None.
MOTION by Edwards to uphold the decision of the Board of Appeals and Adjustments

Mayor Busho opened the Public Hearing for the Birch Street Vacation, west of Cameo Avenue.
The recording secretary noted that the affidavits of posted and published notice were on tile
Community Development Director Rogness reviewed the history of Birch Street which is
currently used as a partial alley behind the homes on 147th Street between Cameo Avenue and
Canada Avenue. The portion of Birch Street ending at Cameo Avenue was vacated in the 1970's
after the old Baptist Church was built. The portion requesting vacation now is adjacent to that
portion and is now owned by the Dakota County Housing and Redevelopment Authority for the
building of a senior housing project. This vacation will be required before construction can begin
on that project. The description of the unused street is as follows: That part of Birch Street lying
north of the center line thereof and east of the southerly extension of the west line of Lot 8, Block
2, and that part of said Birch Street lying south of the centerline thereof and east of the northerly
extension of the west line of the east 8.00 feet of Lot 41, Block 3. and which lies west of a line
drawn from the southwest corner of Lot 2, Block 2 to the northwest corner of Lot 1, Block 3, all
in the plat of Rose Park Addition to the Village of Rosemount, according to the recorded plat
thereof, Dakota County, Minnesota.
MOTION by Wippermann to close the public hearing for the Birch Street Vacation. Second by

OCTOBER 15, 1996
Public Works Director/City Engineer Osmundson presented the request for vacation of an
easement along the north lot line of Lot 5 in Chelsea Woods which was reserved for a possible
future pipe easement from the Outlot which was to be a future road extension. This location
would no longer be feasible for a future storm water pipe. Therefore staff is recommending the
City vacate this easement.

Community Development Director Rogness presented the CMC Heartland Partners Concept
Planned Unit Development with changes as directed by Council's comments at the September 17,
1996 meeting. Rogness rioted that because of the number of changes a motion to table action and
have time to review the concept at a work session would be advisable. Council discussed lot size,
number of multi family dwellings, street arrangement, and Metropolitan Urban Service Area
(MUSA) expansion.
City Administrator Burt noted that recently it has been brought to his attention that MUSA
expansion requests may be difficult to obtain dependent on the area in the future guide plan of
Metropolitan Council. Now our City Comprehensive Guide Plan allows for one unit per ten
acres. The City cannot guarantee that sewer usage will be available and should not suppose it can
promise that to developers. At this time, Burt recommends that staff no longer accept plans for
high density development. Also Council should remember than when development occurs on the
eastern side of Rosemount, a fire station will have to be planned. Burt recommended to deny the

of the added cost.
The policy for all other property classifications will he to conduct an individual appraisal for the
affected property and apply the appraised benefit to the property.

Ordinance B regarding the Issuance Standards for an Interim Use Permit for nonhazardous
Industrial Waste Containment Facility. Second by Edwards. Ayes: Busho, Carroll, Edwards,
Anderson, Wippermann. Nays: None. Motion carried.
Community Development Director Rogness presented to council the request from USPCI for the
reissuance of the existing Interim Permit. The Interim Use Permit OUP) which expires March 18,
1997, would allow USPCI to continue operating the Nonhazardous Waste Containment Facility.
Jeff Ub, a representative of Barr Engineering, reported on the reviews of the new application and
has identified some modifications to the existing containment facility. Barr Engineering has not
found any major environmental or engineering problems with the permit application.
USPCI has concluded that an Environmental Assessment Worksheet (EAW) is needed for the
disposal of Mixed Municipal Solid Waste (MSW) combustor ash, which will require a 60 -90 day
review period. Therefore, the proposed reissuance of the 'UP will not include any approval for
this type of ash disposal. Once the EAW process is complete, then Council can review those
conclusions as a final approval to allow MSW ash disposal. Dakota County's permit allows
1 ash subject to Minnesota's Pollution Control Agency's approved permit modification and
environmental review.
The major changes to the existing permit include:
1. A proposed 4 -cell design in place of the existing 10 cell design.
2. A capacity increase from the existing 2.5 nullion to the proposed 6.1 million cubic
yards.
3. An increase in the final grade berm height from 20 feet to the proposed 60 feet.
4. A change in final fill area with the removal of an interior site for future building
activity.
In addition, City Attorney Charlie LeFevere discussed other changes and modifications to the

Community Development Director Rogness presented the Preliminary Plat, Final PUD and
Rezoning for Geronime Pond.
On November 9,1996, the City Council conditionally approved the concept for Geronime Pond, a
residential development for single family homes mixed with twin home. On December 10,1996
the Planning Commission conducted a public hearing for review of the preliminary plat, final PUD
and rezoning.
The primary issue was an apparent density bonus requested by the developer to help absorb the
cost of acquisition and development. The concept approval gave the developer a choice between
lowering the density to 91 units or enhance the landscaping to qualify for the bonus. The
developer is entitled to 2.5 dwelling units per acre. The density of the preliminary plat is 2.77
dwelling units per acre for 101 units excluding the remnant parcel isolated with the anticipated
relocation of Chippendale Avenue. The landscaping consist of an additional boulevard tree for
each single family lot and increased evergreen screening along 160th Street West. The latter was
a staff recommendation after review of the initial landscape plan submission. The revised
landscape plan responds to the concerns identified by staff.
In reviewing the grading plan, the City Engineer will approve 3:1 slopes instead of the standard
4:1 in order to achieve the highest possible berms along 160th Street West.
E.B. McMenomy wanted to be on record for endorsing the project. He would like 160th Street
West to be rebuilt before development. Council wants a petition, signed by him, for the intent to
develop his property located across Chippendale Avenue to the east of the proposed Geronime
Pond development. The petition would help coordinate the planned Chippendale Avenue
relocation and the ultimate construction of County Road 46, to obtain the required easements and
plan for the area's final grade.

PRELIMINARY PLAT AND FINAL PUD DEVELOPMENT PLAN. Second by Edwards.

a new Phase 2 MUSA (2005 2010). This would allow more flexibility to plan as growth occurs
by allowing development projects to be approved now rather than wait until the year 2000. There
are currently 705 acres available for residential development within the existing Phase 1 MUSA.
Approximately 65% of the total acreage within the current MUSA is owned by CMC Heartland
Partners (165 acres) and Kelley Trust (290 acres). The existing Phase 2 shows 670 acres for
residential and 700 acres for commercial /industrial during the years 2000 to 2005. Metropolitan
Council has begun a phase -out plan for the Rosemount Treatment Plant by the year 2001.
Councilmember Carroll commented on development northeast of City Hall referred to as the
Minea Property Community Development Director Rogness suggested that "leap frog"
development would not be advantageous and that the best approach in receiving approval from
Metropolitan Council on this amendment was to keep the MUSA boundaries the same and only
change the phasing schedule. City Administrator Burt noted that the cost of infrastructure to that
area would be great and that the key argument toward approval is that there are only two major
land owners. Mayor Busho noted that the Comprehensive Guide Plan is a changing document.
MOTION by Carroll to adopt A RESOLUTION APPROVING AN AMENDMENT TO
THE LAND USE PLAN OF THE ROSEMOUNT COMPREHENSIVE GUIDE PLAN

REGULAR MEETING
MARCH 18, 1997
Public Works Director Osmundson reviewed City Project 279 noting that the street had been
dedicated in 1973 and that it would service ten lots connecting to County Road 33. Although this
area is platted as an industrial park it is intended now to be divided into single residential units.
The vacant lot owners petitioned to have the street improved.
Chuck Stauffer, 14587 Delft Avenue, owns a lot east of the proposed development. Stauffer
asked that the berm within the back yards of the lots be removed because it is difficult to maintain.
A catch basin on the east side of Delft Avenue would improve storm water ponding on the street.
The culvert of Upper 148th Street often needs to be unplugged and that should be remedied.
Stauffer felt that Rosemount Wood Cabinet Shop, the only business lot developed, should not
have to pay the assessment because the developer, Brobacks Inc., held up the original road
improvements. Osmundson responded that the plugged culverts will be checked out tomorrow.
Dakota County would now only allow one entrance onto County Road 33. In 1973 there were
two entrance points. There are no plans to remove the berm with the grading.
Diane Michalski, owner of Rosemount Woods Cabinet Shop, had concerns of having residential
neighbors with light industrial noise and dust. The letter submitted indicated an appeal to the
proposed special assessments by R. Duane and Diane Michalski, Property Identification Number
34- 15300- 050 -01.

City Planner Pearson reviewed the request by Henry Broback for replatting of the nine lots in the
Broback Industrial Park to twenty -three lots. There are several owners which causes difficulty
with blending the lots to redistribute the property lines. Eighteen of the lots would require
variances due to the lower lot width. The Planning Commission held a public hearing and
recommends denial of the request because of inconsistent with the surrounding neighborhood, the
utilities alignment and expense, and concern for the existing cabinet shop so near to residential
lots. These same concerns were voiced by City Council and some residents at the March 18,
1997 Public Hearing.

comment.
Todd Franz, 13942 South Robert Trail, of South Metro Auto Broker, asked about the future
development of the property south of him and if it would be assessed. Osmundson responded that
that property is low and a lift station would most likely be required. Franz noted that his sewer
system is in good working order and does not foresee any problems with it Franz asked about
the difficulty of splitting his lot because of the non conforming use status. City Attorney
LeFevere noted that in most cases a city would not allow the non conforming use lot to be split.
LeFevere also noted that the assessment benefit is the increase in fair market value that will occur
in the open market. Franz said he was not opposed to the project but would hope he will be able
to maintain his business for several years at this location.
Steve Willner, 13930 South Robert Trail, had questions on how the assessment was required to
be paid back. Osmundson said that the assessment could be paid for up to ten years with a 7 or
8% interest rate. Willner noted that his septic system was failing and he would need this
improvement.
MOTION by Busho to close the Public Hearing for the Willner Sanitary Sewer Improvements,
City Project 281. Second by Carroll. Ayes: Five. Nays: None. Motion carried.
MOTION by Edwards to adopt A RESOLUTION FOR THE APPROVAL AND
ORDERING THE PREPARATION OF PLANS AND SPECIFICATIONS FOR THE
WILLNER SANITARY SEWER IMPROVEMENT, CITY PROJECT 281. Second by

Staff noted that City Project 281 will be bid with alternates in the length of the sanitary sewer.
Parks and Recreation Director Topitzhofer presented the first reading of the Special Events
Ordinance. The purpose is to insure health, safety and welfare of large public gatherings, 500 or
more) in city parkland. A Large Assembly License would be required sixty days in advance with a
fee of $150. Also any city expenses, such as police or clean up would be charged hack to the
applicant. Council indicated that they would like this broadened to include other property than
just city parks. Staff will check on the penalty amount and if it is restricted by State law. Staff
will revise the ordinance and bring, it back to the next City Council meeting.
Administration Intern Bonkowske presented a Zoning Text Amendment for Sidewalk Signs.
Now these signs fall under the portable sign definition and are allowed to be displayed only six
times a year for a maximum of ten days per permit. City Attorney LeFevere indicated that the
appearance or content of the signs is regulated by free speech rights. The consensus was to limit
the sidewalk signs to only the adjacent business. Staff will revise the ordinance.
Administration Intern Bonkowske presented a Zoning Text Amendment for Essential Services.
This was initiated by staff in anticipation of a request from Northern States Power (NSP) for a
substation in the General Industrial District. Public and private utilites will be permitted uses in all
zones with the exception of electrical substations, which will be prohibited in (R) and (P)
Districts. The Council was concerned about gas and petroleum facilities in residential areas.
Council suggested including the phase "facilities" in the amendment title. Pat Kline, Community
Service Area Representative from NSP, spoke briefly in support of staffs latest proposal. City
Attorney LeFevere noted that there may be an advantage to have each utility request an
amendment when necessary. Staff will make further revisions and return this to Council for
review.
Parks and Recreation Director Topitzhofer reported that 1400 children and parents gathered on
March 29, 1997 for the yearly Egg Hunt at 10:00 a.m. at Erickson Park. By 10:20 a.m. the event
was over and everyone went away smiling. Topitzhofer said it was a great event and would like
to continue to sponsor it.
Upcoming events are: April 5, 1997 Firefighters Banquet; April 8, 11:30 Chamber Luncheon
Meeting at the Rosemount Community Center; and April 21, Dakota County 1-IRA Senior
Housing Ground Breaking, 3.30 p.m.

Wippermann present. Also present were City Administrator Burt, Public Works /City Engineer
Osmundson, Community Development Director Rogness, City Planner Pearson, Park
Recreation /Community Center Director Topitzhofer, and Intern Bonkowske
A. CMC Heartland Partners Concept Plan. Staff presented the most recent version of the
proposed concept plan for the 226 -acre site east of Biscayne Ave. Staff identified issues that
needed City Council direction.
North -South Collector: The placement of the street connection on County Road 42 should be
shifted to provide better access to future roads to the south. It was also stated that the cost of the
road would be at the developer's expense.
East -West Collector: The number of homes having direct access will be reviewed and efforts
should be made to limit them as much as possible. Any home having direct access to this road
will be required to have a turn around on the lot so future residents will not have to back out onto
this street.
Park: The size and location of the park were acceptable; however, a trail should connect to the
northern portion of the large pond as part of the plan. The City will not accept the narrow park
over the pipe line or along County Road 42. All trails and sidewalks will be required to be within
a right -of -way or easement.
Housing Tvpes: Four types of housing were proposed, including single family, townhomes, twin
homes and cottage homes. Concern was expressed on the percentage of multiple dwelling units.
The City Council emphasized they would like to see more amenities and detail of housing types
and designs.
Posting a Security: City Council suggested that CMC be required to post securities to assure
improvements they are proposing are completed. The security will cover all roads, parks,
amenities and common space improvements.
B. New Subdivision Ordinance. Staff presented a new draft subdivision ordinance which had
been prepared over the course of several months. The draft excerpted or modified language from
other cities including Apple Valley. Bloomington, Eden Prairie, Lakeville and Coon Rapids.
Among other things, the new draft includes a "sunset provision" which creates an expiration
process for approved but unused preliminary plats and "premature subdivision" criteria. The
Council directed Staff to enhance the lapse and extension provision to guarantee clarity. The City
Attorney will be asked to participate with the final draft. Staff also presented a "two out of three"
idea with the intent of eliminating minor technical variances for non -PUD subdivisions. The
general consensus was to continue to use the PUD process consistent with past practice. A May
public hearing for the new subdivision ordinance is anticipated.

Public Comments was opened by Mayor Busho. Beth Giliuson, 3625 143rd Street West, advised
the City Council of a parking issue near the Rosemount High School. During sporting events
parking by students, parents, and spectators is occurring even where prohibited. This is putting
pedestrians and drivers at risk. Often both sides of the street have parked cars not allowing a
normal flow of traffic. The streets most affected are Chili Avenue with parking on the hill and
143rd Street just south of the ballfield. The school parking lot usually has parking room available
but it is farther to walk. Giliuson has talked with many neighbors and they would like to have the
yellow no- parking line extended near the street corners, put up signs with a similar phrase to no
parking for ballfield events", and have school coaches tell teams and spectators to use the school
parking lot.
Mayor Busho thanked Ms. Giliuson and directed staff to research this parking issue.
Public Works Director Osmundson discussed a corridor study for CSAH 42 and forming an
advisory committee. Metropolitan agencies would like resident and business input. Council
submitted three names of residents and suggested one planning commissioner and one
representative from Cannon Equipment. The Committee should meet for the first time next
month.
Public Works Director Osmundson reported on the Wetland Challenge Grant authorized by City
Council June 18, 1996. Part of this process is public input to establish a set of community based
priorities or a value system for individual or groups of' wetlands to serve as a basis for focusing
water resource enhancement projects and guiding development activity.
MOTION by Anderson to authorize the creation and function of a Wetland Planning Task Force.

APRIL 15, 1997
Assistant to the Administrator Walsh introduced Bill Morris of Decisions Resources, Inc. Morris
reviewed the results from the community survey of 401 residents conducted between February 8
and March 3, 1997. The results indicated that Rosemount citizens were very pleased with their
community. Now, more residents see Rosemount as a "suburb" rather than a "small town." The
household median yearly household income is $58,500 which is double what it was in a 1989
survey. Over 80% of residents approved of the maintenance of street lights, removal of litter
from city streets, parks, trails, condition of picnic facilities and play equipment in city parks, police
response time to calls, enforcement of traffic laws by police departments. and outdoor skating
rinks. A solid majority felt that code enforcement with respect to animal control, garbage
disposal, junk cars, messy yards and noise was "about right." However, 32 of the respondents
rated the enforcement of the junk car ordinance as "not tough enough" and 24% felt similarly
about the enforcement of "messy" yards Community spirit, friendly people and knowing your
neighbor were important to the majority. Overall, residents are happy to live in Rosemount.
MOTION by Edwards to approve the Consent Agenda with the removal of Item 6.i. and
additional information for Item 6.h. Second by Wippermann. Ayes: Five. Nays: None. Motion
carried.
Community Development Director Rogness reviewed what the Port Authority had approved for
the Endres Development Contract. Endres produces poultry feed and proposes to build a plant in
the General industrial area east of Highway 52 and north of Highway 55, near Koch Refining. A
public hearing was held April I for Tax Increment Financing approval for the project
MOTION by Carroll to approve A RESOLUTION APPROVING CONTRACT BETWEEN
ROSEMOUNT PORT AUTHORITY AND ENDRES PROPERTIES, LLC. Second by
Edwards. Ayes: Carroll, Edwards, Anderson, Wippermann, Busho. Nays: None. Motion
carried.
Administrative Intern Bonkowske presented an ordinance that would regulate temporary sidewalk
signs. These signs would be allowed to be displayed six times a year for a maximum of ten days.
The placement of these signs would be limited to businesses adjacent to the right -of -way. Special
event signs such as steak fry, craft sale, etc. would be allowed assuming they continue not to be
frequent and are picked up promptly. Mayor Busho noted that city staff would need to insure
enforcement.

Assistant to the Administrator Walsh presented a request from McDivot's Sports Pub and Eatery
to amend the On -Sale Liquor Licenses to allow alcoholic beverages to be served on an existing
patio located to the north of the building. Ornamental black iron railing would be installed around
the patio area Walsh explained that stafffelt that alcohole should not be served past 10:00 p.m.
rather than be allowed to remain open until 1:00 a.m. This time restriction would help to curtail
noise that might disrupt people in the senior high rise and condominium adjacent to this property.
Rob Moen, manager of McDivot's, spoke in behalf of the request. Moen noted that in past years
motorcyclists had caused late night noise problems, hut now the cliental has changed and that
should no longer be troubling. McDivot's believes that an outdoor patio will appeal to local
business people. area baseball teams and others who enjoy the cooler evening air. They do serve
dinners until 11:00 p.m. and would like the hours for the patio to remain open until then.
Council requested that the adjacent residents of the senior high rise and condominiums be notified
of this potential change so that their opinions can be noted.
MOTION by Edwards to table the decision on a request from McDivot's Sports Pub and Eatery
to amend the On -Sale Liquor Licenses until May 6, 1997. Second by Busho.
Councilmember Anderson requested discussion. Edwards withdrew his motion and Busho her
second.
Councilmember Anderson noted that a past owner had served alcohol on the patio at that location
and perhaps some history of that could be obtained.
MOTION by Edwards to table the decision on a request from McDivot's Sports Pub and Eatery
to amend the On -Sale Liquor Licenses until May 6, 1997. Second by Busho. Ayes: Five. Nays:
None. Motion carried.

Streets which makes that street eligible for receiving Municipal State Aid fiends for construction
and maintenance. The streets being added are Clark Road and Conley Avenue.

available in two weeks which would be good to discuss at this meeting. Council discussed
various dates and decided upon May 16, 1997.

An additional item was added to New Business on the Agenda, Item 8.b. Change May 20, 1997
City Council Meeting Start Time to 8 P.M. Information was distributed to City Council for a
change on the minutes of the Committee of the Whole for April 15, 1997; a list of Police Incidents
at McDivot's Location; and Councilmembers received the Goal Setting Workshop Packet.
Public Comment was opened by Mayor Busho. Roger Neitzki, 3999 144th Street West, noted
that he has had repeated problems with litter and dust coming from development areas in Shannon
Hills and Shannon Meadows. Debris and hay from grass seeding have literally covered his yard as
well as a neighbor's yard. Neitzki reasoned that developers should be responsible for their
actions. Councilmember Carroll had viewed Neitzki's yard and agreed it was a mess because of
the construction going on in the area. Carroll suggested that storm fencing would help contain
debris. City Administrator Burt said he would review the permitting process for developers to
determine how restrictions apply. Mayor Busho thanked Mr. Neitzki for his continents.
Response to Public Comment was given by City Administrator Burt regarding the parking issue
by the Rosemount High School athletic fields. Public Works, Police, and Parks Recreation
departments had met to determine a reasonable solution. Letters were mailed to the Rosemount
High School administration and coaches. The coaches said they would mail letters to parents of
participants also. The yellow no parking line on the curb was extended further near the corners of
Chili Avenue and 143rd Street. The Police Department will continue to monitor parking and
ticket violators Beth Giliuson commented that she appreciated the action taken and noted that it
is much improved. Giliuson noted that the lower parking lot is used for drivers education and so
further problems may evolve. Mayor Busho noted further communication may be needed with the
high school if that lower parking lot is closed to public use. Councilmember Edwards appreciated
the pro active approach taken by residents. Edwards had talked to Steve Toombs who also lives
on 143rd Street and Toombs plans to distribute a flyer with information on parking Edwards had
concerns about the extra traffic at 7:30 a.m. and 3:00 p.m. due to students at the high school and
he would like consideration of diverting tragic back to Highway 3 rather than continuing to use
Chili Avenue. This will he discussed further at the Goal Setting Workshop.
Community Development Director Rogness presented the "public notice sign" to be used to post
on the property affected by a zoning change or an upcoming public hearing. Residents within 350
feet of the affected land receive written notice by mail and a notice is published in the Rosemount

Town Pages. The first site this sign will be used on is the Kindercare lot south of County Road 42
on Shannon Parkway. This summer will be a trial period for usage of the sign. After feed back,
any wordage or color changes could be incorporated into a future signs. Mayor Busho suggested
a phone number be placed on the sign to a message option line rather than to the department
secretary.
MOTION by Wippermann to approve the Consent Agenda with the addition to the minutes of
the Committee of the Whole from April 15, 1997. Second by Edwards Ayes: Five. Nays:
None. Motion carried.
Parks Recreation/Community Center Director Topitzhofer presented the bid results for
Erickson Community Square Shelter. The bid was originally done a year ago with resulting costs
over the expected amount. The design and size of the shelter were reduced and staff recommends
approval of the bid to Min -Kota Building Systems, Inc. Of the total cost of $212,555.00
donations were received from various businesses and organizations in the amount of $178,000.00
This leaves $33,970 to be used from the Park Improvement Funds. The building will be air
conditioned, have restrooms accessible both from the outside and inside, have eight windows, will
be bricked half way up on the sides, have cedar siding on the upper wall, and a plaque inside
honoring those who helped build the shelter An agreement has been reached with the National
Guard Engineering Corp to remove excavated material, which will reduce the building costs by
$8,000. Also John Loch has sold bricks to raise funds which will be engraved with the donors
name for a brick walkway.
MOTION by Carroll to accept the bids for Erickson Community Square Shelter and to award the
contract to Min -Kota Building Systems, Inc. Second by Anderson. Ayes: Busho, Carroll,
Edwards, Anderson, Wippermann. Nays: None. Motion carried.
Assistant to the Administrator Walsh presented a review of the April 15, 1997, City Council
meeting discussion of the request for an amendment to McDivot's Liquor Licenses to serve
alcoholic beverages outside on a patio adjacent to the north and east sides of the building Staff
has received several letters in opposition due to the possibility of disturbing the peace of the
residents in the apartments directly to the east. The City Council's decision originally was
postponed to allow time to notice the nearby residents and obtain feedback. The owner, Bill
Schneider, met with neighboring residents to answer questions and explain his business expansion.
Ms. Kathy Schneider, McDivot's owner along with her husband William Schneider, spoke in
behalf of the amendment. Schneiders have improved their restaurant and bar business by changing
the cliental and plan several indoor improvements. If the amendment is approved it will allow
additional income by appealing to business and family groups and by emphasizing the menu.
Because of Minnesota's weather, there will probably only be 30 to 40 days which will be nice
enough to serve outside. Schneider requested the patio closing times to be 11:00 p.m. Sunday
through Thursday and 12:00 p m. on Friday and Saturday. This would allow people who play
sports and others who enjoy the cooler evenings to take advantage of the outdoor eating and
drinking. The patio would always be monitored by staff.

REGULAR MEETING
MAY 6, 1997
Peggy LeRoy, 2900 Rosemount Plaza Senior Citizens Apartments, wished the Schneiders luck,
however, living next door to the noise and music late at night was discomforting. LeRoy
recommended that 11:00 p.m. on Friday and Saturday would be better.
Trudy Meyer, 14575 Burma Avenue, requested City Council not to grant this amendment. This
will only add to the already annoying late night noise.
Bill Schneider answered some questions from Council. He noted that there would not be any
music out on the patio. The later closing time would really be required to break even financially.
The height of the wrought iron fence would be four feet, the reason being expense and anyone
determined to get in would climb a five or six foot fence just as easy. The fence would extent
from the east wall of the building next to the door and follow around to the north side just before
the entry door there.
Councilmember Wippermann commented that he would like the main focus to be food, similar to
Doolittle's outdoor patio in the City of Eagan and not become like a beer tent. Councilmember
Edwards would like to see the fence height raised
Steve Kopel, 13757 Danbury Path, owner of McDonald's, noted that in Minnesota it is hard for
business to get ahead Kopel commented in favor of McDivot's requested amendment. He noted
how the reputation has changed, the cliental is not rowdy; and this would be a good addition to
downtown Rosemount. It would offer something in Rosemount which may draw people to shop
here too.
Joyce Dornquast, 15576 Cornell Trail, also spoke in support of McDivot's request.
Lib McDonough, 14575 Burma Avenue, stated that if this amendment is approved it should
provide some restrictions and be on a trial basis.
Mayor Busho noted that she has gotten calls of support from other business owners and Chamber
of Commerce members. The seniors apartment building is between the two bars and restaurants
establishment which is unfortunate but a fact. Busho stated that the patio amendment would be
an improvement to the downtown but it should be on a trial basis.
City Attorney LeFevere noted that upon the January 1 renewal of McDivot's liquor licenses the
patio could be reviewed but revocation would have to be justified. Schneider noted that he would
not want his standing liquor license to be jeopardized by this amendment. LeFevere suggested
continuing this to the next meeting so staff could finalize an agreement with conditions and
Schneider would have time also to consult with legal counsel.
Councilmember Carroll noted his concern about the noise. However, Carroll felt this patio area
would be an improvement for McDivot's and that Mr. Schneider has been a good business owner
in Rosemount_ Carroll is in favor of a trial period. Councilmember Wippermann favored an
operating time up to 10:30 p.m. during weekdays. Councilmember Edwards would support this

amendment with the right conditions in the agreement. Edwards questioned if motorcycle parking
could be restricted. Councilmember Anderson would agree to a trial period.
MOTION by Edwards to direct staff to draft an agreement with conditions for the Amendment
to McDivot's Liquor Licenses in the next two weeks and have obtained an executed document
from McDiviot's. Second by Busho. Ayes: Carroll, Edwards, Anderson, Wippermann, Busho.
Nays: None. Motion carried.
Public Works Director Osmundson commented on Dakota County's Capital Improvement
Program 1997-200L Some highlights were: additional land purchase for Spring Lake Park;
Fahey Avenue may need to be blacktopped in the future due to the expanded park; the Highway
Shop on Biscayne has an addition planned; County Road 46 from Diamond Path and eastward
will have street improvements with a bikeway; CSAH 42 turn lanes and urban section from Dodd

position on the Dakota County CIP 1997 2001 with mention of funding for a library. Second by
Wippermann. Ayes: Edwards, Anderson, Wippermann, Busho, Carroll. Ayes: Five. Nays: None.
Motion carried.
Councilmember Anderson removed herself from the diocese for the proceeding item due to
conflict of interest.
Community Development Director Rogness presented the AAA Auto Salvage Planned Unit
Development Final Development Site Plan. This would include construction of a new 34.000
square foot building on the ten acre expansion area. The older building will be available for rental
space or lease. Additional landscaping in place of a deficiency in green space will be required
along the northern border.
MOTION by Edwards to adopt A RESOLUTION APPROVING THE GENERAL
INDUSTRIAL PUD FOR AAA AUTO SALVAGE with conditions as added and amended.

held on Tuesday, May 20, 1997 at 8:00 p.m. in the Council Chambers at City Hall, 2875 145th
Street West.
Mayor Busho called the meeting to order with Councilmembers Edwards, Wippermann, and
Carroll present Also present were City Attorney LeFevere, City Administrator Burt, Assistant to
Administrator Walsh, Public Works Director Osmundson, Community Development Director
Rogness, Parks Recreation/Community Center Director Topitzhofer and Finance Director
May.
Public Works Director Osmundson led the group with the Pledge of Allegiance.
The Agenda was adjusted. One item was pulled from the Consent Agenda, Item 6. f Hiring of
Police Officer.
Response to Public Comment was given by City Administrator Burt regarding construction debris
from the Shannon Meadows Development as reported by a neighbor. Review of our policy
showed that the regulations in place are consistent with other communities. These regulations
control debris and erosion effectively. Staff is directed to monitor development sites especially
when high winds occur.
Community Development Director Rogness reported on the Commercial Plan for the City of
Rosemount. Rogness felt strongly that a connection between the "old" and the "new" downtown
areas should be made. A walk way going from the Community Center to the high school to the
commercial center is planned. Also, south of the Kwik Trip Convenience Store and Gas Station
on Highway 3 additional streetscaping would be planned south to the CR 42 intersection with
signage. Extension of the new lighting on 145th Street West is also planned. The last focus group
met in December of 1996. Additional input will be requested from that focus group, business
owners, Dakota County officials. Minnesota Department of Transportation and utility companies
involved in order to coordinate and plan a financially feasible project within thirty days. Financing
many of the improvements will be challenging. RLK Associates will help with an action plan
phased in a five to ten year period.
Councilmember Carroll noted that the Downtown Redevelopment District Plan will expire in the
year 2000. Carroll asked if the Plan can be amended. Community Development Director
Rogness was unsure if it will have $400,000 or not, but a budget would be established. The Tax
Increment Financing report to the State will tell us exactly how much money to expect. All debt
obligatons will be met in 1999 and the Plan can be amended prior to 1999. Rogness noted that
the effects of the recent legislation need to be established in the next month or two.
Councilmember Wippermann was concerned about design guidelines and building materials.
Rogness noted that RLK Associates will address that issues in their report. Mayor Busho asked
for regular updates.
Mayor Busho noted that the U.S P.C.I. Community Trust Fund may have funds available for
improvements in the commercial areas of Rosemount. Also, SKB contributes Host Community

Mayor Busho opened the discussion regarding the proposed amendment to McDivot's Liquor
Licenses. Alta Knebel, 2900 145th Street West, Rosemount Plaza Senior Citizens Apartments,
noted that McDivot's had excellent food and service, but because she lived on the west side of the
apartment building, she was very aware of the noise. This past week the doors have been open
and the music has been very loud. Knebel felt the new patio area would invite noise and music
from inside if the doors are left open.
Owner Bill Schneider responded that the air conditioning was currently not working, but will be
repaired on Friday. The doors will not be left open after the air conditioning is repaired.
Assistant to the Administrator Walsh reviewed the liquor amendment conditions agreed to by Mr.
Schneider which allows City Council to review the amendment again when McDivot's liquor
license renewal takes place.

Community Development Director Rogness presented an overview of the concept plan for the
Shannon Pond South Hampton Development. The concept plan is for 26.73 acres at the
northwest corner of Shannon Parkway and 160' Street West and is currently zoned Agriculture.
The proposal includes 17 single family dwelling and 10 twinhomes for a total of 37 new units.
Mayor Busho opened the floor for public comments.
Bruce Anthony, 4195 West 158' Street, is opposed to the proposal. He expressed concern with
the twin homes.
Carl Osterhaus, 4165 158t Street, is opposed to the twin homes and feels that the property values
of the neighborhood would decline. He is also concerned w ith safety issues.
Dana Werner, 4215 157t Street, is concerned with the final grade of the lots and the safety of the
children Ms. Werner request that if concept plan is approved to condition it by not allowing
157 Street to be used to haul materials.
Jim Burhardt, 4160 158"' Street, is concerned with the ownership of the twin homes. He would
like to see a denial of the concept plan.
Paul Brown. 4201 157' Street, felt that the City of Rosemount has enough multi family dwelling
units and would like a denial of the concept plan.
Amy Bell, 158' Street, was informed when they purchased their home that the area was to remain
with single family dwellings This proposed twin home area would not be consistent with other
homes in the area.
Mr. Jim Allen from Hampton Development stated that the property values would be subjective;
that twin homes usually produce less traffic than single family homes because the residents are
typically young professionals or retired; the topography of the site is rather severe to grade for
building needs and that the developer needs a higher density to make the project cost effective.
Council Member Carroll concluded there would be less traffic due to the twin homes, the area
would not produce any additional safety concerns above and beyond normal; there could be a
possibility of an increase in density if not approved and that the consistency of surrounding
properties would be maintained.
Councilmember Wippermann noted that Hampton Development produces a very good product
and there are positive qualities with consistency in maintenance due to an association However,
Westridge development is single family and neighbors had the assumption that adjoining property
would also be single family. Councilmember Anderson noted that while attending the Lions Park
dedication that the area has a good feel of a neighborhood.

Mayor Busho called for a five minute break at 9:50 p.m. The meeting was resumed at 9:57 p.m.
Parks and Recreation/Community Center Director Topitzhofer brought the first reading of an
ordinance directed from the Parks and Recreation Committee and Carrolls Woods Sub-
Committee to ban bicycle riding in Carroll's Woods to reduce the amount of damage to trails and
plant life. Topitzhofer explained that the land was purchased with grant money that was
conditional requiring that the park would be protected as a natural and passive recreational area.
Council felt that it would be very hard to enforce the ordinance other than by fencing the whole
area. Council requested the Parks and Recreation Committee and Carrolls Woods Sub-
Committee to consider ways to educate the public, provide bike racks to secure bikes at the
entrance to the park, discuss misdemeanor tickets and if there is a benefit and to report back to
City Council.
City Administrator Burt gave an update on the city's Fire Department. The department's new
personnel policy includes policies and procedures that were never addresses before such as a
defined pay plan, appointment and removal of officers, and a grievance procedure. The Fire
Department had an "Open House" on June 22. 1997, which was well attended by residents and
many children. The Fire Department was authorized to hire nine new fire fighters which would
bring the total firefighters to thirty -nine.
