Pursuant to due call and notice thereof a Committee of the Whole Council Meeting was held on
Wednesday, October 13, 1999, at 6:30 p.m. in the Council Chambers.
Mayor Busho called the meeting to order with Councilmembers Klassen, Edwards, Cisewski,
and Caspar present. Also in attendance was City Administrator Burt, Assistant to Administrator

The following agenda items were discussed:
LETTER TO U of M: Council members made changes to the proposed letter to Dean Thomas

DEFERRED ASSESSMENT: Public Works Director Osmundson explained the situation with
two property owners who are being assessed for the Chippendale Avenue and 145 Street
Reconstruction projects at the October 19, 1999 City Council meeting. The two were offered
deferrals per the City Policy. However, one landowner wanted a deduction in the amount of the
assessments and the other wanted the interest waived. Council concurred to not change either
deferral offer.
2020 COMPREHENSIVE PLAN: City Planner Pearson briefly discussed the public hearing
process and primary issues. Several Comp Plan alternatives were considered which combine
Rural Residential, Transitional Residential and Urban Reserve land uses. The Council directed
staff to schedule a meeting with Met Council staff to discuss a compromise strategy. The form
of the compromise would assign Transitional Residential west of Bacardi Avenue (south of Jay
Simons Addition; Rural Residential within 1/2 mile of 120th Street (Gun Club Road) and
including 80 acres east of Bacardi Ave. across from Jay Simons and White Lake Acres and the
northern half of the Cliff property. The remaining acreage (owned by McMenorny and Shadow
Development) would be in Urban Reserve or Urban Residential.
POLICE RECRUITMENT PLAN: Council requested that more specific inforniation be
included on recruitment efforts. Information on out -state recruiting and internships should be
included. Costs of the various recruiting efforts should be added to the plan.
EXPANDED Y2K INSURANCE COVERAGE: Staff requested direction from the City
Council on if the City should acquire additional insurance for year 2000 issues. The consensus of
the City Council was to not purchase the additional insurance and monitor if other cities were
purchasing the insurance and if it appeared the majority was purchasing the insurance to
purchase it as well.

policing and property maintenance enforcement efforts was given to the Council. Council
approved of the direction of the Department in both areas and encouraged the continued focus on
each area.

Assessment Hearing for Chippendale Avenue Street Utility Improvements, City Project 290
Public Works Director Osmundson reviewed City Project 290, to improve street and utilities for
Chippendale Avenue from 151" Street south to 160 Street West. This included improvements to
the parking lot at Winds Crossing Park and corrections and repairs to the streets. The total project
cost was $950,000 with 72% being paid through city funding. Assessments varied according to the
Assessment Policy.
Mayor Busho opened the public hearing for comment. Staff noted that objections had been received
from Leroy and Judy Gunhus and Harold Wachter.
Attorney Bill Sherry representing Leroy and Judy Gunhus submitted a new letter of objection, noting
the decreased amount of the assessment. Sherry maintained that no benefit of value was obtained
because an access. which was vital to truck movement on the property, was closed. The Gunhus's
business, Evergreen Gardens, Inc., depended on the access onto Chippendale Avenue for exiting the
property. The driveway had been in use for 13 years.
Councilmember Edwards asked about safety and staff commented that the access that was closed
was very close to the intersection and interfered with the turn lane.
Attorney Reid Hansen representing Harold Wachter asked staff and Council to reconsider the
assessment amount due to the holding pond on Wachter's property. Wachter should be considered
a residential lot rather than acreage. The assessment was originally $34,000 and was reduced by
$6,940 which they feel should be lowered to approximately $2,306.

reduction from $76,000 to $26,000. She said this will pose a hardship for her and disagreed that

Planter Pearson.
Police Chief Kalstabakken led the group in the Pledge of Allegiance.
The agenda was amended by adding one item to the Consent Agenda Item 6.r. Tort Liability
Insurance Limits.
Public Comment
James Pence presented reasoning to request the Commissioner of Transportation to reconsider the
weight limit and speed limits for Diamond Path extension south of County Road 42. Pence noted
that homes near Diamond Path were built close to the right -of -way, which puts them very close to
the new Diamond Path. Pence felt that the 45 M.P.H. speed limit was too fast because children were
used to playing in the area. Pence reported that many gravel trucks that weigh 80.000 pounds are
expected to run all night. All of these issues bring the value of the 100 homes in the area down,
compromise the well being of the children and safety with the speed limit consideration. Pence
explained that the city government would have to stake this request to the Commissioner of
Transportation. Mayor Busho noted that staff would look into this issue and Council will address
it at a future meeting if warranted.

Safel Kleen (U.S.P.C.L) Interim Use Permit Amendment
City Planner Pearson presented the Interim Use Pemiit amendment for Safety Kleen to allow the
transfer of used oil from trucks to rail tank cars for shipping to an oil recycling company in Chicago.
There is an existing rail spur located on their Rosemount site at 13425 Courthouse Boulevard. The
spur would require minor improvements for safety, that being, installation of drip pans around the
tracks and curb and gutter for potential spills. The anticipated volume of oil shipped from the site
is 150,000 gallons of oil each month. This would result from deliveries of six to eight trucks a day,
1

ROSEMOUNT CITY PROCEEDINGS
REGULAR MEETING
NOVEMBER 2, 1999
five days a week. Right now the average trucks per day is 55. A public hearing was held at the
Planning Commission meeting on October 26, 1999. The Commission approved the amendment
unanimously.
Don Chapdelaine, a representative of Safety- Kleen. explained the oil recycling which is now handled
at their Blaine and Eagan operations. Chapdelaine noted it would not permanently store oil in
Rosemount, but transfer it there to rail and send it on to Chicago. Phil Gover, manager of the
facility, noted that Safety Kleen services over 100 companies recycling auto oil, solvents, paint
thinner, naphtha, dry cleaning fluids, industrial waste; but no medical or nuclear waste.
Councilmembers Klassen and Edwards made comments of concern to expand the land -use
applications hoping that Rosemount would not become the dumping grounds for the metro area.
Mayor Busho noted that the life of the facility was originally only 30 years, now with the addition
of another cell for ash that was estimated to he 42 years. The landfill was to be tuned back to city
government for a park or other community use when it was tilled. Busho questions whether that
would occur if a transfer station for oil supported continued business. Also, concern was raised as
to notice of spillage how much constituted a significant spill? Council requested further
interpretation of the land use and contract stipulations on spillage and storage on site. Pearson noted
that a sixty -day extension would be required from Safety Kleen to allow time to continue the
request of the amendment.
MOTION by Busho to table the Safety-Kleen (U.S.P.C.I.) Interim Use Permit Amendment. Second
by Cisewski. Ayes: Cisewski, Busho, Edwards, Klassen. Nays: None. Motion carried.
Motion by Busho to direct staff to give written notice to Safety-Kleen to extend the deadline of the
60 -day notice from Dec. 6, 1999, for an additional 60 days as more time is needed to study the
proposal. Second by Cisewski. Ayes: Busho, Edwards, Klassen, Cisewski. Nays: None. Motion
carried.
MOTION by Edwards to have the Safety -Kleen Interim Use Permit Amendment called from the
table no later than the December 21, 1999, City Council meeting. Second by Busho. Ayes: Edwards,

Public Comment
ROSEMOUNT CITY PROCEEDINGS
REGULAR MEETING
NOVEMBER 16, 1999
Mayor Busho explained the accepted procedure allowing one -half hour for comments and three
minutes per person.
Pat Schesso. 5683 139 St.. Apple Valley and Lynn Ehmer, 12514 Danbury Way supported past
city employee Thomas Murphy and asked Council to consider a position in the Community Center
ice arena for him. Murphy was well known as a hockey mentor to many children and he would be
a benefit to the program.
Steve Kopel, 13757 Danbury Path, spoke in support of Tom Murphy. Kopel noted that Rosemount
has the finest ice arena in the area but that it is the people as well as the building that makes it first
class. Kopel asked Council to "get creative" to achieve a position for Tom.
Laxman Sundae, 2055 128 St. West, spoke in support of Torn Murphy. Sundae mentioned he did
not know the facts about Mr. Murphy, but that if it is a disability, the city is obligated to give him
first priority.
Amy Ginter,15133 December Trail, was unhappy with the high vohrne of traffic and speed limit
on the new portion of Diamond Path. She requested slow children signs and was concerned for their
safety.
Kelly Stenzel, 15125 December Trail, reported a high noise level from the new Diamond Path and
considered it a safety hazard. Stenzel suggested a four -way stop sign at the intersection.
Vickie Lee, 15135 December Trail, had concerns for child safety on the new Diamond Path. Lee
noted that Pilot Knob road is wider but has a lower speed limit. 30 mph. There are also more signs,
about one every three to four homes to remind drivers of the lower speed limit. Lee suggested that
similar signage is needed in Rosemount.

ROSEMOUNT CITY PROCEEDINGS
REGULAR MEETING
NOVEMBER 16, 1999
Jeff Fadden, 12131 Biscayne Avenue, felt that Metropolitan Council was forcing residents to change
their desired country lift style when the city life style was what they came here to avoid. Fadden
believed that the dense units don't create a livable community as in Europe. Fadden commented that
"people don't want to be shoved together." Fadden noted that the compromise was in order to be
able to receive government dollars.
Laxman Sundae, 2055 128 Street West, spoke against the 2020 Comprehensive Plan. He noted the
petition received at the Public Hearing of 180 signatures or more against the zoning change in
northeast Rosemount. Sundae listed 1) lower quality of life, 2j water /sewer assessments, and 3)
upsetting the ecology and pushing the wildlife out. Sundae noted, "There will always be money, but
once land is destroyed it's gone.
Richard Cliff, 12523 Akron Avenue, was against the 2020 Comprehensive Plan. Cliff noted that the
land is not designed for high density and the water run off would increase flow to the Mississippi
River.
Scott Wiig, 13709 Danube Lane, just moved into Rosemount in order to get away from the
congestion in Apple Valley. He finds Rosemount a relaxing community and doesn't want it to
change.
John Remkus, 13040 Akron Avenue, was against the higher density in the 2020 Comprehensive
Plan. Remkus works in another city as a finance director and stated that high density housing does
not pay for impact fees such as the higher need for police and utility services. Remkus also noted
the recent failure of the school district referendum shows that people are not willing to pay for
needed public expenses.
Jerry Travers, 12467 Biscayne Avenue, was against the higher density zoning. Travers asked
Council to remember that it is dealing with words and the residents are dealing with emotions.
Ellen Leidner, 12006 Bacardi Avenue, was not in favor of the 2020 Comprehensive Plan. Leidner
related that her family had lived in Apple Valley when development caused them to move. Leidner
noted that Rosemount has two large land owners now, Koch Refining Co. and the University of
Minnesota tying up thousands of acres. Because of this there should he special consideration given
by Metropolitan Council to require lower population influx here. Leidner repeated, "We don't want
to be like Apple Valley."
Mayor Busho thanked the audience for their comments. She noted that staff will review the Diamond
Path safety concerns. The 2020 Comprehensive Plan will be considered under Item 7.a. this evening.
AUAR Process
City Planner Pearson reviewed the time -table of the Alternate Urban Areawide Review. The draft
document based on the concept plan will be available in December. Some delays with the

SPECIAL MEETING
FEBRUARY 5, 2000
Pursuant to due call and notice thereof a special meeting of the Rosemount City Council was duly
held on Saturday, February 5, 2000. at 10:00 a.m. in the Farmington Library at 208 3r Avenue,
Farmington, Minnesota.
Mayor Busho called the meeting to order with Councilmembers Caspar, Klassen, Cisewski, and
Edwards and City Administrator Burt.
The purpose of the meeting was to set goals for City Council, staff, and the community.
Commercial Enhancement
Council would like to see continued enhancements to business areas to attract businesses to town.
Potential business growth should include along Highway 3 to 160 Street. A plan should be adopted
and then zoning changes made to be consistent with that plan.
The University of Minnesota property could support a golf course and athletic facility. This could
be an opportunity to partnership with them to obtain an athletic facility. The Dakota County
Technical College is interested in having a hotel near their facility. This also could be an opportunity
to partnership with them, although Council felt the hotel should be closer to Highway 3.
The Bloomfield development has been abandoned and funding from that project could be used
toward an extension on the Rosemount Business Park streets and utility improvements.
The northwest and northeast corners of Chippendale Avenue and County Road 42 need to be
considered for affordable housing redevelopment.
Evaluation of Code Enforcement and Policing
Council has concerns of enforcement of the sign ordinance. Possibly the ordinance needs further
strengthening. Also, consideration should be made to hire a full -time code enforcement officer that
would identify building, sign, residential, business and traffic code violations.
The public opinion or perception of police needs positive reinforcement. The philosophy of
"community policing" should continue and/or increase. Looking at the mindset of the officers might
help to change internal policy and issues.
Library
Dakota County has no funding for a library in Rosemount. Alternatives may be for the city to
provide a building, and then cooperate with perpetual maintenance, help with providing books and
staff, etc. with the county. An alternative may be to combine a coffeehouse with a library or explore
new possibilities other than traditional ones.

meetings and improvement to the newsletter.

PUBLIC HEARING: County Road 46/Trunk Highway 3 Street Utility Improvements, City
Project 284
Mayor Busho explained the Public Hearing procedure and confirmed with City Clerk Jentink that
the affidavits of public notice and publication were on tile.
Engineer Dave Simons gave an overview of City Project 284. This will be an up -grade for 160'"
Street along the southern border of Rosemount. This will also include a realignment of Highway
3 routing to the east of the City Limits Lanes and Lounge. Dakota County is spearheading this major
project which extends from Pilot Knob Road in Apple Valley to the east side of Coates. David Zech
from Dakota County fielded questions on the project. Rosemount hosted an open house on March
15, 2000 and Dakota County held four previous public informational meetings. The streets are slated
to remain partially open during construction, with either the south or north side closed while the
other side is under construction. There are no intersection signals planned at this time but in- ground
conduit will be put in place for the future. Stop signs will be used until usage warrants a change.
Council discussed the installation of' a segment of sanitary sewer that will not be used until
development requires it. Engineer Simons noted that this sewer needs to be very deep to serve areas
of low elevation. and that to go in at a later time and disrupt new streets would be extremely costly.
This segment would serve the south part of the Rosemount Business Park area in the future because
there is no service available from the north or east.
Mayor Busho opened the Public Hearing and called for any audience comment.
Bret DeBates, from Lakeville, is an owner of a duplex on 160 Street with a proposed assessment.
DeBates noted he is willing to sell but with the mounting assessments he is unable to. DeBates feels
that he does not benefit from these assessments because his driveway and lot size are diminished and
he will be required to hook up to water and sewer, which he already has. DeBates complained that
his existing drain field will be disrupted and he is unsure if it will function properly. Engineer
Simons explained that Mr. DeBates will not be assessed for any water or sewer for this project, only
the street improvements. Engineer Zech noted that the project west of Highway 3 is expected to
begin in August.
Engineer Zech stated that over $7 million dollars, or 80% of the funding for the project will be paid
by the gas tax from the State.

Commissioners Berg, Heinnkes, and Mulhem. Also present were: City Administrator Burt, Police
Chief Kalstabakken; Parks Recreation Director Schultz; Acting City Engineer Weiss; Water
Resources Engineer Morris; and City Planner Pearson.
Kelley Trust (Evermoor) Development Issues
Mayor Busho welcomed the Commissioners and the Development Team led by Homer Tompkins, and facilitated
introductions. The Mayor then explained the expectations for Council direction concerning the issues to be
discussed.
PUD Conditions
City Planner Pearson discussed the potential inconsistencies between the PUD Concept conditions of approval and
the preliminary plat. Setbacks, variances and the transition between existing housing and the Active Senior housing
were the primary concerns. Most of the issues can be dealt with through the PUD agreement.
Wetlands
Dwight Jelle of Westwood explained the development's impact on wetlands and briefly discussed
sequencing. Water Resources Engineer Morris explained the wetland permit process and some of
the expectations regarding mitigation identified by city staff. Issues to he resolved, or
expectations of mitigation will include:
1. Retaining walls to reduce the impact on wetlands from new street construction.
2. Long term maintenance agreements with the developer to ensure that the mitigated
wetlands are established and perform their function.
3. Enhanced plantings along identified corridors for wildlife movement and habitat (to the
extent possible).
4. Wetland "averaging" of the buffer zones will be acceptable to the city where necessary in
mitigated areas.
5. A specific planting plan for Birger Pond will be provided and installed by the developer to
re- establish appropriate plant species in the Birger Pond area.
6. An education effort must be made concerning the value and function of preserved
wetlands.
Street Widths
Brett Weiss of WSB explained the concerns regarding the proposed reductions to street width
standards. City staff is continuing to examine the issue with expectations of assembling a
recommendation in time for the April 11, 2000 Planning Commission public hearing (con't).
Council member Cisewski suggested that from now on, all street widths be explained in terms of
face to face dimensions for consistency.
Street width issues and recommendations will involve:
1. Equipment investment needs resulting from reduced street widths.
2. The expected need for parking bans on one or both sides of reduced width streets.
3. One way circulation options
4. Streetscape maintenance especially regarding boulevard trees.
5. Snow storage space and utility locations.
6. Developer will provide additional information as a decision aid.
7. "Face to face" standard dimensions from now on.

MARCH 22, 2000
S. Parking should be provided on the edge of the mini- parks, or on at least one side of the
street.
Park Land Open Space
The developer explained the various options regarding open space and a desire for the city to
absorb 117 acres for essentially public park use. Parks and Recreation Director Schultz indicated
that the anticipated park dedication requirement for land amounted to 26 acres in addition to the
prededication of Shannon Park. Dwight Jelle indicated that there would he 126 acres of open
space that would be preserved or dedicated for parks that does not include wetlands. Overall, the
parks and open space discussions will cover the following issues:
1. Homeowner association's abilities to maintain open space and plantings.
2. The balance of public and private open space (amount of park dedication).
3. The overall consistency with the Park Facilities Master Plan.
4. Birger Pond design and ultimate use (parking?).
5. Status and function of the mini parks in the traditional neighborhoods.
6. Budgetary constraints relative to maintenance.
Planning Issues
Transitions, housing style consistency and setbacks will be handled in the PUD agreement. The
northern edge will have a "build- free" zone also specified in the PUD agreement. The transition
between existing houses on Shannon Parkway will be separated from the Active Senior housing
by a densely planted corridoi. Terry Metula of D. R. Horton provided examples of the Active
Senior housing units. The unique element of this housing is the "clubhouse" which will contain
association and recreational amenities. The Council's reaction to private amenities was positive.
The area will be intensively landscaped and the developer will have to guarantee variety in the
housing styles. The primary issues include:
1. "No -build zone" for accessory structures on northern edge.
2. RVs, boats and other "toys" will be regulated or prohibited by the HOAs.
3. There will be no "blanket variances
4. Active Senior housing will have 5 or 6 products to guarantee diversity.
Lastly, the tree preservation, removal and replacement were shown to be consistent with
requirements of the tree preservation ordinance. However, the removal will be extensive.
City Attorney Comment
A condition of preliminary plat approval should include the granting of easements for the edge
encircling Birger Pond containing the "bounce" between the normal or ordinary water elevation
and the 100 -year flood elevation which is sometimes referred to as the "donut."

perimeter of the former Extreme Motor Sports property along South Robert Trail, expanding the
Genz -Ryan site. The fence on the northern boarder is non conforming. The hardship criteria for
1
ROSEMOUNT CITY PROCEEDINGS
REGULAR MEETING

variances could not be proven with this request since outside storage is not allowed in Commercial
Districts. The Planning Commission did grant the variance with conditions based upon the length
of time that the business had been established in Rosemount and that there were no current plans to
relocate elsewhere in the city. The Zoning Administrator (City Planner Pearson) may request an
appeal of the decision of the Board of Appeals and Adjustments (City Council) within ten days.
Mr. John Ryan spoke in behalf of the variance. Ryan noted he had never been approached to relocate
his business. Genz -Ryan Inc. was started in 1910 and has been in Rosemount for 51 years. Council
did say they did not wait Mr. Ryan's business to move out of the community. However, zoning must
be upheld in order to maintain a well planned community.

business with SKB Environmental. Don Chapdelaine was present to relay that regional organizations
have been contacted and that Dakota County was asking for a statement of fact that this sale will not
impact zoning or require any ordinance changes. City Attorney Greensweig noted that the Safety
Kleen Interim Use Permit is not transferable.

Rick O'Gara, President of SKB Environmental, gave a summary of the formation of his company.
One primary goal of the company is to protect the environment. SKB has nine facilities in the seven
county area, and they have never had any violations. SKB will not change the purpose of the landfill
and would commit to fulfillment of all agreements as established with the City.
Councilmember Caspar asked how SKB would plan to "close" the cells in Rosemount. O'Gara noted
that often the smooth appearance after a cell is closed tells people that it was a landfill. O'Gara
suggested that an irregular landscape would he a benefit. O'Gara noted his company would be
willing to help with the city -wide clean -up day.
Mayor Busho asked staff to prepare documents for the Interim Use Permit and consider language
to respond to Dakota County stating that no zoning changes or ordinance changes are required for
the transfer of ownership of Safety- Kleen. This will be addressed again at the April 18 regular City
Council meeting.

COMMITTEE OF THE WHOLE
APRIL 12, 2000
Pursuant to due call and notice thereof a Committee of the Whole Council Meeting was held on
Wednesday. April 12, 2000, at 6:30 p.m. in the Council Chambers.
Mayor Busho called the meeting to order with Councilmembers Klassen, Edwards, Casper and
Cisewski present. Also in attendance were Parks Recreation Director Schultz, Water Resources
Engineer Morris, City Planter Pearson, and Acting City Engineer Weiss.
Rosemount Business Council
The Mayor and Councilmembers acknowledged members of the Rosemount Business Council who
were present. The Councilmembers discussed the efforts to date regarding the Commercial Area
Design Enhancement Plan, participation of the Redevelopment Focus Committee and the
Downtown Seeping Committee. The identified concerns relative to the new group were: additional
process expectations, special interests of the new group, and especially, the new group receiving
superior access to the City Council over individuals and other groups who would participate through
the public continent portion of any Council or Commission meeting. It was noted that the Business
Council did not represent every business in Rosemount.
Councilmembers agreed to accept the letter previously presented with no anticipated changes to
current procedures or policies.
Kelley Trust Property
City Planner Pearson explained the extent of discussions that have occurred between the Cities of
Apple Valley and Rosemount concerning the possible swap of land through annexation. The result
would give all of the Valleywood golf course currently in Rosemount to Apple Valley. In return,
Rosemount would gain six estate lots with peripheral land for utilities and green space, as well as
the edge of Birger Pond currently in Apple Valley. The benefit is to gain control of the entire
perimeter of Birger Pond for park development. The six lots are at the end of a long cul -de -sac with
no other connections to Apple Valley.
After some further discussion regarding the merits of additional dwellings on Birger Pond, the
Councilmembers agreed that the "swap" of land between the two cities was acceptable. Parks
Recreation Director Schultz discussed the scenario of the Birger Pond Park dedication. The park
would include the pond area between the normal water elevation and the 100 -year flood elevation
characterized as "the donut While it is unusual to acquire a ponding "bounce" area, this situation
is special with special amenities including aquatic plantings and educational opportunities.
Consistent maintenance and overall control of the entire pond area would also contribute to a better
park. Mayor Busho expressed the need for a policy to guide further actions, and ensure that the
Birger Pond situation was unique.
Discussion ensued concerning the appropriate break down of open spaces. Parks Rec. Dir.
Schultz explained the recommendation of 18.6 acres for Birger Pond and the additional acreage for
the scenic overlook. The high -point of the development was considered. The Parks and Recreation
Committee dismissed this areas importance because of the post development views of rooftops. The

Councilmembers agreed. Director Schultz explained the recommendation for trails, that the city
would maintain the trails with an easement in a twenty -foot wide corridor. Most of the rest of the
open space should remain public or private open space. Mayor Busho proposed several wetland
areas that would become city responsibility, but not necessarily park space. The concern was to
ensure that the trails would be accessible to anyone. Craig Rapp of Contractor Property Developers
Company (CPDC) indicated that the developer could maintain the open space for 3 -5 years. Then,
the Homeowners Association would take over responsibility for maintenance.
Councilmember Edwards asked if the developer and the city could enter into a partnership to
reimburse the city for maintenance. Other options including escrows were discussed. Some
additional discussion with the developer would be necessary. Homer Tompkins of CPDC suggested
that the homeowners association would ultimately be responsible for maintenance. The concern of
the future homeowners association ability or willingness to be responsible is still at issue. Parks
Director Schultz indicated the recommendation to maintain the trails only. Acting City Engineer
Weiss mentioned that the city would not likely want to be in a position to have to remove fallen trees
after a storm. Councilmember Edwards asked what the city would gain from having responsibility
for the amenities. Mayor Busho added the concern for the cities ability to provide higher standards
or expectations of maintenance service in the Evermoor area than that which occurs in other parts
of the city. Staff will be assembling specific recommendations regarding the ultimate status of all
of the various public /private spaces.
Councilmember Casper discussed his concerns regarding the need for additional ballfields in the
city. The AAA has discussed several alternatives for potentially limiting programs The
Councilmembers discussed the Kelley Trust park dedication and how this need should be met on a
city -wide basis. Director Schultz indicated that he had requested that AAA provide demographic
projections to assist in future facility planning.
Acting City Engineer Weiss explained the staff recommendation regarding street widths. "Street A"
would be 32' wide (face to face) except where lots front on the street west of Shannon Parkway. The
street would be 36' wide in this area to allow space for passing around turning vehicles. Most local
streets would be 28' wide with parking allowed on one side. There would also be some 24' wide one
way only streets, particularly in the traditional neighborhood. 24' wide streets would also have
parking on only one side. Parking may be enhanced with "bump- outs" or indentations along the
street specifically for parking. Striping options were also discussed. Connemara Trail would
probably he 52' wide to match the existing, but additional study will be needed to reach final
conclusions. Since Connemara is in the second phase, sufficient time should be available to arrive
at mutually acceptable solutions. Snow plowing issues were discussed which included several
options. There appeared to be consensus for a policy that would create a limited parking ban for
snow plowing. Older parts of the city would probably have to be exempt. Such a policy would have
to be easy to understand in contrast to Minneapolis and St. Paul snow emergency procedures. After
considerable discussion, the Councilmembers found the staff recommendations for street widths to
be acceptable. The Councilmembers expressed interest in the recommendation for a tunnel under
Connemara Trail. The street connection to 131st Street West did not have support. It may be
2

recommended for a utility connection and possibly a trail. Last of all, the idea of interrupting Street
S between Streets BB and U did not have support from the Councilmembers.
Commissioner Appointments
An add for commission appointments will be placed next week. The goal would be to appoint new
Commissioners on or about June 1. The merits of commissions having 3 to 5 members were
discussed.
The worksession adjourned at 10:00 p.m.

Concept Planned Unit Development And Zonin¢ Text Amendment for Rosemount
Auto /Business Center, 3305 Carrousel Way
City Planner Pearson reviewed Keith Gill's request for a Planned Unit Development at 3305
Carrousel Way. This is a 1.26 acre parcel zoned for General Commercial (C -4). The multiple
uses would include auto detailing and sales, multiple office space and outdoor display of autos.
The zoning text amendment is needed to allow continuous outdoor display of vehicles for sale.
After review the Planting Commission approved this concept plan. Council asked several
questions of staff.
Keith Gill and John Jones gave a presentation of their business proposal. Gill's business is now
located in Crystal and he lives in Dakota County. They said they would not have more than 20
autos on display outside at one time. All vehicle models would be from 1995 to current. There
would not be any mechanical repairs or servicing. Detailing is only cleaning and polishing
vehicles for sale. If a customer requested mechanical work it would be brought to a local
business for that work. There would not be any outside storage of parts or inventory other than
the autos for sale.
Attorney LeFevere responded to Council's query about if the zoning stays with the land or the
owner. LeFevere noted that conditions can be placed on the current land owners, but ifthe
situation becomes unsatisfactory that can't be changed unless another zoning change request is
made. Council consensus was to make sure that this rezoning would he "unique" and not set a
precedent Staff agreed that because this is a Planned Unit Development it is indeed unique and
conditions must be imposed to keep standards high for this commercial area.
Staff was directed to include further conditions to insure the integrity of the commercial area and
that the applicant will provide a definition of "detailing" an auto. Council would like to review
this at one of the next two regular City Council meetings.

PUBLIC HEARING Jeff Johnson Appeal of Variance Denial
Mayor Busho explained the Public Hearing procedure and confirmed with City Clerk Jentink that
the affidavits of public notice and publication were on file.
City Planner Pearson reviewed the Planning Commissions review of Mr. Johnson's request to build
a 576 square foot garage five feet from the property line where set backs are 30 feet. Mr. Johnson
has a very steep slope, pond and many trees. The north east corner of the property offered what
Johnson explained as the only possible building site and he had contract builders that agreed.
Mr. Johnson presented photos that showed that the garage would not have a big impact on the view
from neighbors' lots, partly because the roof elevation would be lower than the surrounding home
and so it would not change the skyline view. Mr. Johnson had discussed having the garage closer
to his home, but contractors said they would not build the required block wall because it would be
required to be too high and need a large amount of backfill. This would require that more trees be
removed or disturbed to get the equipment in the yard for the project. This is why Mr. Johnson
requested the variance to have the garage near the property line.
Ms. Sharon Johnson (not related) 12445 Chinchilla Court, is a neighbor who spoke in support of the
improvement. The garage would be placed in the north -east comer of Jeff Johnson's property, behind
a utility shed in her yard. Ms. Johnson said this is an agreeable site for the garage and she preferred
that his boat and trailer and tractor be inside rather than stored outside.
MOTION by Busho to close the Public Hearing for the Jeff Johnson Appeal of Variance Denial.
Second by Cisewski. Ayes: Four. Nays: None. Motion carried.
MOTION by Klassen to support Mr. Johnson's garage variance. Second by Busho. Discussion
followed. Attorney LeFevere cautioned about setting precedent. The motion was removed by consent
of the maker and second.
Mayor Busho noted that the Planning Commission did an excellent job reviewing this variance to
the limit of their power and within all city regulations and policies.
City Planner Pearson noted that there was clearly hardship due to the topography and vegetation of
Johnson's lot. The approval of neighbors was also a positive point in favor of the variance.
MOTION by Klassen to reverse the decision of the Board of Appeals and Adjustments on the Jeff
Johnson and Carol E. Johnson variance. Second by Busho. Ayes: Klassen, Busho, Cisewski, Caspar.
Nays: None. Motion carried.

Pursuant to due call and notice thereof, a special meeting of the Rosemount City Council was
duly held on Wednesday, May 10, 2000. at 5:00 p.m. in the Council Chambers at City Hall, 2875
145` Street West.
Present at the meeting were Mayor Busho, Councilmembers Cisewski, Caspar, and Klassen.
Also present were City Administrator Burt and City Planner Rick Pearson.
Also present at the meeting were Bill Hefner and Sue Sanger, attorneys for the City; Rick
Schneider and David Solergren, attomeys for Shafer Contracting; Scott Spisak and George
Matson, representatives of Shafer Contracting.
The purpose of the meeting was to discuss settlement of the Shafer Contracting v. City of
Rosemount litigation.
Mr. Schneider addressed the council with his view of the issues and Shafer's settlement offer.
Mr. Sclmeider provided his interpretation of the Diminishing Asset Doctrine (DAD) and what
effect it would have upon Lance Johnson's property and the scope of the nonconforming mining
use. Mr. Schneider's interpretation of DAD is that it includes the area being mined and other
parts of the property that contain mineral resources which ultimately will be mined. Mr.
Schneider presented evidence that he felt supported Mr. Johnson's intent to mine the entire 93
acres. Regarding the purchase of the property by Shafer, Mr. Schneider explained that a
subsequent purchaser would step into the shoes of the prior owner and have the same rights.
The goals presented included 1) determination of the scope of the nonconforming use; 2)
recognition that Shafer is stepping into the shoes of Lance Johnson; and 3) approval of the
mining plan previously submitted by Shafer.
Council went into a CLOSED SESSION to discuss the settlement offer.

Susan Dehmlow, 15725 Biscayne Avenue West, submitted a letter of objection to their assessment.
Dehmlow noted their frustration with land use issues in detemrining who was able to buy their land.
They have had two different proposals which were rejected by the city planning department.
Dehmlow requested a letter from city staff stating what land uses are possible. City Administrator
Burt noted that the land is currently zoned Agricultural, but proposed as Business Park. Burt also
noted that there is no guarantee that zoning will not change in the future with a different City
Council or different city staff.
Donald Wachter, 15247 Biscayne Avenue West, quoted a part of Minnesota Statutes which allows
a senior citizen to have their assessment deferred. Rosemount does not have a policy set up for
deferring an assessment. City Attorney LeFevere noted that that statute was for hardship limitations
and it would require some financial hardship. Wachter asked to have the interest waived. The
Council consensus was not to allow the interest to be waived. City Administrator Burt noted that the
land is in Green Acres Program which allows the assessment to be deferred until time of sale of the
property. The City Attorney noted that an objection letter preserves the right of the property owner
to persist with a further hearing to protest the assessment amount.
MOTION by Busho to close the Public Hearing for Biscayne Avenue Watermain Improvements,

concerned with the additional number of cars expected to be outside for display because they felt it
was not an appropriate use to have this as a used car lot. Pearson noted that controls can be placed

amendment would be requested to allow automobile parking outside for longer than two days.
Councilmembers Klassen and Edwards were fundamentally opposed to the development.

Splatball Inc. Conditional Use Permit
ROSEMOUNT CITY PROCEEDINGS
REGULAR MEETING
JUNE 6, 2000
Mayor Busho called for a five minute break. The meeting was reconvened at 10:20 p.m.
City Planner Pearson presented the renewal by Todd Tanner for the Interim Use Permit (IUP) that
allows the conduct of commercial outdoor recreation in the Agriculture District. The IUP was
originally granted in 1994 with an annual review for compliance with the approved conditions of
operation. The Agricultural District section of the zoning ordinance has since been amended with
Commercial Outdoor Recreation becoming a conditional use instead of an interim use. Therefore.
the renewal process includes conversion to a condition use (CUP). The site used is in the Mississippi
River bluff area, which does not allow permanent buildings or operations. Staff suggested a three
year renewal period since there have not been any complaints in the past. A public hearing was held
at the Planning Conunission, which approved the three year period. City Council consensus was to
retain the two year renewal. Staff conceded.
MOTION by Busho to recommend that the City Council adopt A RESOLUTION APPROVING
THE CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT FOR SPLATTBALL, INC for two years. Second by
Klassen. Ayes: Klassen, Cisewski, Busho, Caspar, Edwards. Nays: None. Motion carried.
Huntington, Office/Warehouse Multiple Use Concept Planned Unit Development for Carrousel
Way
City Planner Pearson presented the request of Daniel E. Huntington for a multiple tenant
office /warehouse building proposed for a vacant lot on the west side of Carrousel Way. The PUD
process is required because the building will have multiple uses and tenants. There will be four 400
sq. ft. office suites with 800 sq. ft. of warehouse space associated with each. The exterior will be
brick or masonry. One entry will be a bay door for a service van. If this service company would
move out, the door would be remodeled with a regular 3 ft. entry door for office space. Council
emphasized they did not want an automobile service station here or car sales. Conditions can be
applied in the PUD to insure this does not happen.

COMMERCIAL PLANNED UNIT DEVELOPMENT FOR DANIEL E. HUNTINGTON.
Second by Caspar. Ayes: Cisewski, Caspar, Edward, Klassen. Nays: None. Present: Busho. Motion

amendment to the PUD after the initial PUD is adopted subject to incorporation of revisions
recommended by the City Attorney. Changes can be made to the PUD through developer
petition and would be made either through public hearing for major changes or administratively
for minor amendments.

Innisfree and Crosscroft.

2. A Public Hearing is held by the Planning Commission
3. If accepted by the Planning Commission it is referred on to the Council for approval.

65% being funded by the Street C.I.P. budget. The remaining 35% will be covered by
assessments to benefiting properties at an estimated cost of approximately 5450 per unit.
Mayor Busho opened the floor for clarification questions.

Leigh Anderson, 14940 Delft Avenue, asked why his street was being reconstructed when the
street just east of his (Danville) is in worse shape than his. He would like to know the criteria
that is followed when choosing the streets. City Engineer/Public Works Director Fick apprised
Mr. Anderson and Council that the City has a Pavement Management System in place which is
used to determine the age and condition of the various streets in Rosemount. Mr. Anderson's
section of Delft is riot in as poor condition as the northerly end of his street, but it is more cost
effective to do the whole street at one time than to stop short and have to come back a different
year. The Danville section will more than likely be done next year with the Dodd Boulevard
project, however at this time the City doesn't want to shut a whole neighborhood down.
Mr. Anderson then asked how the assessments are calculated because his property is a corner lot
on Delft and Dodd. Consulting Engineer Weiss of WSB Associates reported that the
assessments are on a per unit basis, divided among the units within the area whose properties
access the road by driveway. Mr. Anderson would only pay for his access onto Delft Avenue
and not be assessed next year for Dodd Boulevard because he has no driveway access to that
road.
Mayor Busho opened the Public Hearing.
Bill Millard, 14918 Delft Avenue, wasn't sure if his question was for clarification or not, but he
was wondering if curb work was going to be done and also if the City would do private
driveways if the residents pay for the extra work. Again, Consulting Engineer Weiss responded
by informing Mr. Millard that the City does not do the private driveways, however it is up to the
homeowner if he'd want to approach the contractor on the job to see if they could do the work
privately during the project. Usually it would be costly for the contractor to do the job properly.
Mr. Millard also asked if the road was going to be bumpy like it is now or if there will be a
smooth finish. The sealcoating, which has been done, is what has given the road the bumpy
texture. Once the overlay is complete the road surface will be smooth until sealcoating has to be
done, usually 5 -7 years out.

2000 for the two styles of water towers and several alternates that were hid. The Utility
Commission met on June 12, 2000 and after their discussion they recommend that the Council go

Mineral Extraction Permit Amendment: Lance Johnson (owner) Shafer Contracting Co.
City Planner Pearson reviewed the application for an amendment to the Lance Johnson/Shafer
Contracting Co. mining pennit. Shafer is requesting a change to include the entire 93 acres in the
phasing plan, reclamation, and end use plan. Only 35 acres are now included in the renewed
mining permit. Staff has added conditions on prohibiting "haulback" storage of material, and
recycling of concrete. The Planning Commission suggested conditions covering prohibiting
noise by not allowing jake brakes, vibrator boxes, or slamming tailgates; installing stop signs and
temporary truck hauling signs when applicable; trimming vegetation near confers, and installing
a gate at the entrance.
Council made it clear that the permit is only for a one year approval and the Phasing Plan only
includes about 19 'h acres per phase. Approval of the mining permit is not approval for the
amendment to mine the full 93 acres and in no way would this approval grandfather in the 93
acres. It was also noted that this mining operation has a non conforming land use and that current
law, The Diminishing Asset Law, allows continuing mining. Mining at this location, 1.25 miles
north of county Road 38 (135 Street West) and ''A mile west of County Road 71 (Rich Valley
Blvd.) had been permitted until 1989. Then an Ordinance change occurred and mining in this
location became a non conforming use, which was allowed to continue.
The City Attorney counseled that the sale or transfer to Shafer Contracting Co. is not the issue
tonight. The amendment, if approved, would be subject to review by the City Attorney.
Councilmember Edwards requested that the fomf of the permit be improved to show specific
dates of issuance and duration. Council concluded that it would be more comfortable viewing the
additional conditions in the agreement at the next City Council meeting.
MOTION by Edwards to table the Mineral Extraction Permit Amendment for the lance Johnson
(owner) and Shafer Contracting Co. (operator) until the next City Council meeting, July 18,
2000. Second by Klassen. Ayes: Busho, Caspar, Edwards, Klassen, Cisewski. Nays: None.
Motion carried.

resolved with the resolution and conditions of the permit renewal.
City Planner Pearson addressed the berm issue brought up by Charlie Koehnen in the Public

design that simplifies circulation and creates a larger space for the Association building. This
eliminates the street connection to Shannon Parkway after Phase II, and allows additional units
as a result of efficiencies created through the new street design. Architectural renderings of the
housing styles were submitted for the amendment request. Additional landscaping was added,
including 48 blue spruce trees. Council was pleased with the additional single family units.

ROSEMOUNT CITY PROCEEDINGS
REGULAR MEETING
AUGUST 15, 2000
Pursuant to due call and notice thereof a regular meeting of the Rosemount City Council was
duly held on Tuesday, August 15, 2000, at 7:30 p.m. in the Council Chamber at City Hall, 2875
145' Street West.
Mayor Busho called the meeting to order with Council Members Cisewski, Caspar, Klassen and
Edwards present. Also present were City Attorney LeFevere, City Administrator Burt, City
Planner Pearson, Community Development Director Parsons, Finance Director May, Parks
Recreation Director Schultz, Police Chief Kalstabakken, and Engineering Consultant Weiss.
The meeting was opened with the Pledge of Allegiance. There were no changes to the agenda
and there was no Response to Public Comment.
Public Comment
Jerry Weisjahn, 3631 Upper 140 Street, expressed a desire for buffering lights and noise from
County Road 42. There is a storm drainage easement next to his property for the holding pond
across from his home. This has left an open area on the north side of CR42 and car lights come
from the new Cimarron Avenue into his home. Staff will research and respond at a future
meeting.
Janie O'Donnell, 14397 Banyan Lane, Bloomfield Development, complained of breech of
contracts that have occurred. O'Donnell referred to the Developers Agreement and items 7. and
15. The landscaping and irrigation is not complete. There is debris without containers. O'Donnell
urged the City to begin inspections and make corrections where possible and charge it back to
the developer by using their escrow or credit bond. Four of the five residents living in this
tow nhonre unit arc present.
Thomas A. Egan, 15025 Garrett Avenue, Apple Valley, is an attorney representing the neighbors
around the McNamara Development against the Cub Foods proposal. Egan felt that the
interpretation by staff of the "big box" was not the intent of the original Planned Unit
Development. Residential areas surround this land on three sides. Cub Foods would bring a
tremendous amount of traffic, much of it being semi -truck traffic. which would disturb the
neighborhood. Egan noted that the hours of Walgreen are restricted. why not also restrict Cub
Foods? Egan pleaded to let the residents conduct a traffic study while the City Council
postponed its decision for Cub Foods PUD.
Karl Hagen. 14012 Belmont Trail, put in a floating slab next to his garage within a utility
easement. The Building Department has asked him to remove half the slab because of this.
Haggen believed the easement was ten feet when in fact it was 15 feet. He would like to attach a
disclousure to his title and said he would be responsible if the slab must be cut out. Hagen also
stated he would pay for the title filings with Dakota County. Hagen asked for City Council's help
to enable him to find a way to keep his full slab for parking in an easement that may never have
to he dug up for utilities. Staff will check into this and report back to City Council.
Donald Brown. 3825 153` Street, requested that four -way stop signs be placed at Claret and
153' Street, now a 2 -way stop sign. The traffic is often high speed and it is dangerous for
1

REGULAR MEETING
AUGUST 15, 2000
pedestrians. Brown also noted that Cub Foods will be located in his back yard and that he was
concerned about controlling shopping carts and debris. and ponding problems with all the new
blacktop.
Amy Ginter, 15133 December Trail. was against the Cub Foods development. Ginter has already
started to see an increase in traffic on December Trail as a by -pass to the busier streets. Ginter
noted that she did not expect a Cub Foods, but something more like a Barnes Noble. or Pier
One Imports.
Monika Oeltjen, 15772 Cicerone Court, lives south of the proposed Cub Foods. Oeltien is
concerned about traffic and noise from delivery trucks. She conducted a poll of local neighbors
and found that most want a new family restaurant, not the Cub Foods and she wished they would
find a different location.
Ed Zentzis, 15157 Crestone Circle, moved in just three weeks ago, and asked if an environmental
study was done. Staff responded that there was one when the original planned unit development
was proposed.
Dave Anderson, 14389 Banyan Lane, reported that in December of 1999 CMC Heartland
Development had filed that they would be pulling out of their Minnesota Development. So, any
promised improvements are probably not going to get done. Anderson presented photos of
Bloomfield Development showing the unkept crass and unfinished landscaping. The photos were
put on file with the City Clerk.
Mary Riley, 15470 Danville Avenue, did not believe the residents of Rosemount could support
two grocery stores. Riley would not want to see the new mall area become vacant. Riley thought
Cub Foods would not be conducive or complimentary to our area. Riley believed a traffic and
water study should be done now.
Frances Foster, 14385 Banyan Lane, would like to see their housing development finished.
Bostrom noted the Development Agreement and the many failures of that agreement which are
occurring now. fhe environment is also getting damaged by mud slides due to the incomplete
landscaping. Foster urged staff to inspect the badly neglected neighborhood, move forward to
complete what can he. and charge back CMC from their escrow account.

Mayor Busho reviewed the public hearing procedure and opened the Public Hearing for the
Modification to the Development Program for Development District No. 1 and the Modification
to the Tax Increment Financing Plan for Downtown. The recording secretary noted that the
notices of posting and publication were on file.
Community Development Director Jim Parsons presented the modification to the Tax Increment
Finance (TIF) Plan. These modifications bring the 25 year old budget of the TIF District up to
date. This will allow the actual dollars available to be used on other properties which will be
added by property identification numbers to the plan.
There were no questions by City Council as this had been discussed at the Port Authority

Councilmember Klassen noted that the Planning Commission had also heard and approved these
modifications to the T1F Plan.
KTJ Limited Partnership (Cub Foods) Planned Unit Development Amendment Final
Plat
City Planner Pearson presented the PUD amendment submitted by Paul Tucci of Oppidan, the
developer for Cub Foods. Pearson reviewed the original PUD of 1996 and followed it through
the concept plan and how it has developed until today. Now that there are actual proposals and
not just concept plans the pros and cons can be weighed. A traffic study was conducted and the
street design in place is expected to handle the traffic that will be generated by Cub Foods. The
parking lot lights were lowered from 40' to 30' tall. Signage allowed is under 300 sq. ft. There
will be two signs. one near C'R42 and one near 151" Street West totaling about 270 sq. ft. The
sign near 151" Street West will have the Tight turned off at 10 p.m. There will he a coffee shop
with a patio at the northwest corner of the lot. About four retail or service shops will be included

in the PUD. Brick will cover 58% of the outside walls. The south wall will not be required to
have brick because a 8 ft. high masonry wall will screen that wall and loading dock area along
with additional landscaping. The driveway on 151" Street was eliminated.
Mayor Busho noted that all the e -mails and letters she received regarding Cub Foods were
copied for the file and all Councilmembers. Busho noted that 38 were in favor and 34 were
against the PUD for Cub Foods.
Police Chief Kalstabakken researched Eagan and Apple Valley police departments about the
significance that the Cub Foods has had in their area. It was reported that most of the calls to the
store have been routine assist calls such as locked cars and shoplifting. Apple Valley did have
youth gathering at night in the parking lot of Cub but they hired police officers for a night shift
from 8 p.m. to 1 p.m. which took care of the problem. Kalstabakken did not forsee a great
increase in crime due to the Cub Foods store.
Mr. Tucci noted that the pharmacy will not be a 24 -hour pharmacy, it will be from 9 a.m. to
9 p.m. The vendors that deliver goods will not he allowed to "drop" their trailers. Cub normally
does have a truck with perishable goods for their deli deliver each night between 11:30 p.m. to 2
a.m. Regular vendors are required to come between 7 a.m. and 2 p.m. The Cub Foods store will
be open 24 hours a day.
Council consensus was that the developer had worked to better most of the concerns and this
business would provide another opportunity for residents to shop in Rosemount. Council
requested that an additional condition be added to the resolution requiring the consulting
engineers to check on and approve the traffic flow on Claret Avenue for the pharmacy pick up
and trucks exiting from the loading area.
MOTION by Edwards to adopt the amended RESOLUTION APPROVING THE PLANNED
UNIT DEVELOPMENT AMENDMENT FOR KTJ LIMITED PARTNERSHIP (CUB
FOODS). Second by Klassen. Ayes: Klassen, Cisewski, Busho, Caspar, Edwards. Nays: None.

Master Transmission Concept Commercial Planned Unit Development, 14805 S. Robert
Trail
City Planner Pearson presented the Master Transmission Concept Commercial Planned Unit
Development for 14805 South Robert Trail. The business is currently located across from KWIK
Trip gas and grocery. This new building would be built while the old building houses the
business. The old building would be removed after completion of the new one. The current
zoning is C -4 which is General Commercial and therefore allows the transmission repair facility.
The building would be constructed of brick and stucco. The service bays will be oriented north
and south with the front of the building very near the property line on South Robert Trail. The
4

REGULAR MEETING
AUGUST 15, 2000
building would maintain more of an office look from the front with parking on the sides. A green
space would remain on the southern tip of the property.
Council consensus was that this would blend in with the downtown area nicely. It would help
eliminate one driveway onto South Robert Trail by sharing the drive with the neighboring
business. Mr. Jensen noted that construction would begin late in the fall of 2000.
MOTION by Cisewski to adopt A RESOLUTION APPROVING THE CONCEPT
COMMERCIAL PLANNED UNIT DEVELOPMENT FOR MASTER TRANSMISION.
Second by Caspar. Ayes: Busho, Caspar, Edwards, Klassen, Cisewski. Nays: None. Motion
carried.
Accept Bids and Award Sale for General Obligation Water Revenue Bonds, Series 2000A
Finance Director May presented the bids which had been opened at 11 a.m. on August 15 at the
offices of Springsted, Inc. Barry Fick was present from Springsted to answer any questions. The
low bidder had an interest rate of 5.1699% from Wells Fargo Brokerage Services, LLC_ The
City's bond rating is A2. which is very desirable. When our population increases the bond rating
may be able to advance even higher. Staff recommends approval.
MOTION by Klassen to adopt a RESOLUTION ACCEPTING OFFER ON SALE OF
S1,160,000 GENERAL OBLIGATION WATER REVENUE BONDS, SERIES 2000A AND
PROVIDING FOR THEIR ISSUANCE. Second by Caspar. Ayes: Caspar, Edwards, Klassen,

Receive Bids /Award Contract for Broback 3 Addition Storm Sewer Improvements, City
Project 319
Acting City Engineer 13ret Weiss presented the project for storm sewer improvements and an
alternate bid for street reconstruction. The bid opening took place on Thursday. August 10, 2000,
at 9:00 a.tn. The apparent low bidder was Municipal Contracting Services of Faribault,
Minnesota. The bids were higher than engineers estimated. Weiss suggested that the alternate for
the project be postponed and that it would be combined with another project to lower the cost.
The base bid of S54.056 would provide improvements for back yard drainage in the storm sewer
system in Broback's 3 Addition.

the location where Shenanigan's Liquor Store (off -sale liquor only) will move to from their
restaurant/bar business on South Robert Trail. Owner Fritz Dolejs will retain the restaurant/bar
business Shenanigans at the South Robert Trail location. The Planning Commission conducted a
public hearing on August 8' 2000 for the site plan. Concerns were noted about temporary
banners often used by liquor stores and the proximity of the store to the KinderCare child day
care business. Ordinances only restrict proximity of churches and schools to off -sale liquor sales.
Mayor Busho requested that acorn lighting be included to continue the lightscape design set in
the downtown area. Discussion was held by the City Attorney, Council and staff whether to
include this in a resolution or subdivision agreement. It was noted that the resolution provides for
this under item 2. Subject to: Execution of a subdivision agreement to secure public
infrastructure as needed.
Alan Schackman. President of Asset Management Construction Inc., noted that the Chippendale
Retail Development will begin within the next two weeks with the 10,000 square foot building.
The second phase will be in early spring, and third phase will be decided next year. Mayor
Busho requested that the entire site be maintained by mowing when needed. Schakley said the
entire site will be rough graded and then seeded where the third phase is designed. Council
discussed the appearance of a construction trailer on site.
MOTION by Klassen to adopt a resolution approving the final plat for Francis Dolejs
(Chippendale Retail Development). Second by Cisewski. Ayes: Caspar, Edwards, Klassen,
Cisewski, Busho. Nays: None. Motion carried.
PUBLIC HEARING: Variance Appeal: Vermillion State Bank, 15040 Canada Avenue
Mayor Busho opened the public hearing for the variance appeal by Vermillion State Bank.
The affidavits of posting and publication were on file with the City Clerk's Office.
City Planner Pearson explained the drive through variance necessary on the lot lines to
accommodate a safe and navigable drive through around the back of the building. The
neighboring landowners were not interested in selling any property to achieve zero variances.
The Planning Commission had denied the variances due to possible snow removal problems and
traffic circulation concerns. Various other designs proved to be less desirable causing stacking
problems and turning radius limits. City Council is requested to decide to uphold the Planning
Commission's decision or overturn that decision.
Kevin Pedelty, President of the Vermillion Bank, noted that their bank business hasn't grown as
fast as they would have liked at the location they are at now, 3410 151 Street West. This higher
profile location on County Road 42 would be a benefit to their business and a convenience to
their customers. Pedelty said they plan to remove all snow from the site so that visibility is
maintained for advertising and drivers. The fascia will be changed to shingles for a more
residential look. The current building is solid block construction and very strong so it would he
cost prohibitive to move the building or remove it and start over with a new building location on
the site. Council discussed different traffic patterns and lane widths. Pedelty conceded to two
drive- through lanes rather than three. Since this is actually a re- development for a vacant
building, Council consensus was to encourage this business to look for the hest solutions.

REGULAR MEETING
SEPTEMBER 5, 2000
Fritz Dolejs, 14605 South Robert Trail, Shenanigans owner, asked if the green space requirement
of 25 would be necessary and does Vermillion State Bank meet that requirement?
City Planner Pearson said they have not gotten to the point of doing a site plan review yet. This
property is Commercial (C -4) which does not have those requirements as Shenanigans which is
C -2 zoning.
Mayor Busho opened the public hearing for comment from the audience. There were not
comments.
MOTION by Edwards to close the Public Hearing for a Variance Appeal by Vermillion State
Bank, 15040 Canada Avenue. Second by Cisewski. Ayes: Five. Nays: None. Motion carried.
MOTION by Edwards to overturn the decision of the Board of Appeals Adjustments and
grant the variance subject to the above mentioned three items and any others that the Council
may require. Second by Klassen. Ayes: Klassen, Cisewski, Busho, Caspar, Edwards. Nays:
None. Motion carried.
Mayor Busho and Council thanked staff for their hard work and the Planning Commission for
their careful review of this development request.
PUD Agreement with K.T.J. Limited Liabilitv Partnership Thirty -Nine (Cub Foods)
City Planner Pearson talked with Developer Paul Tucci late on Friday who requested an increase
in the total square footage of 68,018 to 70328 or 2,710 sq. ft. more for the building of Cub
Foods. Because of this revision, Council approval is necessary because of specific language in
the PUD Agreement pertaining to the area of the footprint. Staff has revised the agreement to
indicate that the first phase will not exceed 70,750 sq. ft. total. Councilmember Cisewski noted
that this request causes some distrust with future dealings and caution will he used.
MOTION by Edwards to authorize the execution of the PUD Agreement with K T J Limited
Liability Partnership Thirty -Nine. Second by Klassen. Discussion ensued. Motion polled: Ayes:
Cisewski, Busho, Caspar, Edwards, Klassen. Nays: None. Motion carried.
Receiving Bids and Awarding Contract for the Trunk Highway 3 Improvements Between
143 Street and 145 Street, City Project 314
Acting City Engineer Weiss reviewed the bid process and proposed improvements for City
Project 314. City staff will do all inspections, this does not include any ornamental fencing at this
time, and NSP will do underground power supplies and street lighting. The cost was $50,000
more than estimated due to the lateness of the year, necessary traffic control, and an additional
pavement section.
Acting City Engineer Weiss presented two resolutions. One for receiving bids and awarding the
contract for Trunk Highway 3 and one for entering into an agreement with Minnesota
Department of Transportation for cost sharing in the project.

structures. There are 28,000 students in School District 196 and 31 schools. Six of the schools
have received National Excellence Awards. 1.S.D. 196 is the fourth largest school district in the
state, preceded by Anoka, St. Paul, and Minneapolis. Claussen noted that state funding has not
kept pace with rising expenses. If this levy referendum is successful, class size can be decreased.
For the average home valued at $144,435 a resident will pay $315 more a year, or $26 per
month. If this levy is not approved, likely bus service will be cut to outside a 2 mile radius of the
school and class size would increase.
Margaret Golunan, a resident of I.S.D. 196, urged all residents to vote "yes" for the school
referendum. The kids of the future need opportunities and this levy will help them. Many school
districts in the area are needing additional funds and are doing the same thing.
Response to Public Comment: Karl Hagen, 14012 Belmont Trail
City Planner Pearson reviewed the request by Karl Hagen to retain a cement parking slab which
he had inadvertently placed on a utility easement. City staff caught the mistake when a
Conditional Certificate of Occupancy was issued to Hagen with the condition that the parking
slab be removed over the easement. Mr. Hagen requested that a stipulation be placed on his deed
stating that in the event the utility easement would be required to he dug up he would willingly
remove the slab as with any future owner of the property. City Council reviewed the options at
the Committee of the Whole work session on September 13 °i and advised staff that the
encroaching slab should be removed as provided in the conditions of the Certificate of
Occupancy.

SPECIAL MEETING
DECEMBER 4, 2000
Pursuant to due call and notice thereof a special meeting of the Rosemount City Council was
duly held on Monday, December 4, 2000, at 6:30 p.m. in the Council Chambers at City Hall,
2875 145th Street West.
Mayor Busho called the meeting to order with Councilmembers Klassen, Caspar, and Edwards.
Councilmember Cisewski was absent. Also in attendance were City Administrator Burt,
Community Development Director Parsons, Parks Recreation Director Schultz, Police Chief
Kalstabakken, and Finance Director May.
Mayor Busho welcomed everyone. Busho noted the informational brochure for residents that
explains budget expenditures and services. All city departments were represented for clarification
questions. City Administrator Burt will give an overview, and then the public hearing will be
open for audience input. Comments are welcome.
City Administrator Burt presented the 2001 operating budget for the City of Rosemount. Burt
displayed a Dakota County Proposed Tax Statement explaining various numbers. Many residents
will see increases in their market value of their home. This is established by Dakota County and
discussion on that will not be held at the city level. Residents with concerns for their market
value need to contact the Dakota County Auditor's Office.
Burt explained that the tax capacity has changed over the past five years due to a shift made by
the Minnesota Legislature. Shifted tax capacity rates have changed where the tax dollars are
being spent between the City, County, School District. and Special Districts This shift put a
larger burden on the single family homes. Rosemount's tax capacity is going down. The steady
growth of about 300 people per year, plus several new commercial businesses has kept the
increase in taxes very low.
Keith Bester, 1697 145 Street East, asked about the affect that the proposed University
development would have on city taxes. City Administrator Burt explained that the taxes coming
from those leasing land from the University was very small, probably under $2,000. Much of the
University land is in Empire, not Rosemount. Councilmember Edwards noted that the city has
very little control over the University property because it is a Land Grant University which does
not have to follow city or state rules. Councilmember Caspar noted that the University is the top
agricultural university in the country and it wants to use this land resource in Rosemount to
further agricultural interests. It does not plan to have its land reclaimed by the City of
Rosemount.
Steve Folly. 15677 Crystal Path, asked why the city portion of the taxes are the highest for a city
in Dakota County. City Administrator Burt noted that the City of Rosemount follows Hastings as
the second highest city portion of taxes. Rosemount has not levied to their full capacity as other
cities have. Rosemount has been keeping within the market growth and has currently added
more commercial. The residential growth requires added services such as police, snow plowing,
added utilities and streets, and parks. So, expenses are up until commercial growth can catch up.

ROSEMOUNT CITY PROCEEDINGS
SPECIAL MEETING
DECEMBER 4, 2000
Councilmember Edwards asked City Administrator Burt to make a comparison to land locked
cities versus growing cities. Burt noted that once a city has developed all their land, the taxes
level off and it is very hard to get additional funds. Some cities such as Bloomington have
decided not to plow snow at two inches (which Rosemount does), but wait until there are three or
four inches of snow. Minneapolis has chosen not to cut grass in all the parks as before to save tax
money. People expect more services, not less. However, they don't wish to pay more in taxes.
Councilmember Edwards explained that City Council has had work session retreats to determine
mission statements on how to help Rosemount grow. govern and keep its quality of life in
balance. It is a struggle to keep taxes low and provide services that people expect.
Finance Director May noted that the total taxes that Rosemount residents pay (City County
School District) is 39 in the metro county area. Rosemount is one of the largest land area cities,
with 36 square miles. The city portion is high now, but the slow steady growth has kept us at a
reasonable tax capacity rate.
Mayor Busho has talked to many new residents. They want the growth stopped in Rosemount
because they like it the way it is. But, they want to be able to have close retail /commercial areas
and jobs. This balance (if possible) is very hard to maintain within the budget. Busho
complimented staff on the great job they have done on keeping expenses down.
City Administrator Burt said that Metropolitan Council has held back development with the
sewer availability. And with the large land ownership of Koch Refining and the University of
Minnesota Rosemount has been able to keep development slow.
MOTION by Edwards to close the public hearing on the 2001 Budget and Levy Presentation and
Truth in Taxation Hearing. Second by Caspar. Ayes: Klassen, Busho, Caspar, Edwards. Nays:
None. Motion carried.
Since the public hearing was closed and the public was given ample opportunity to speak, the
meeting will not have to be continued to December 1 1' as arranged. The actual 2001 budget will
be presented for City Council approval at its December 5 2000, regular City Council meeting.
Mayor Busho adjoumed the meeting at 7:17 p.m.

Finance Director May reviewed the two letters of recommendation for the auditor services of
Virchow, Krause Company (VKC) for the year 2000. The City of Rosemount has used the
firm of Boeckemrann, Heinen Mayer to audit accounts for 18 years. Their Board has recently
decided that they will discontinue their governmental audit sen•ices. VKC is a larger fimh with
more staff specializing in govenmhent accounts. New reporting requirements by the state will
increase the reports needed by the City. VKC already is used by the City as a consultant for the
accounting software. VKC has agreed to the same rate of pay with a 3% increase for 2001.

Councilmember Cisewski requested Consent Agenda Item 6.k. Award Bid for Painting Sculpture
be pulled for clarification. Cisewski noted that the sculpture next to MeDivot's Pub has been in need
of repair and paint. After extensive research into changing the color to a copper, bronze or metallic
painted color. it was determined by experts that type of color could not be accomplished outdoors
on that large of a structure. The Parks Si: Recreation staff agreed to have it painted the original color
which is a deep reddish orange. Councilmember Klassen applauded that choice to preserve the
original piece of art and maintain its integrity. Sculptures similar to this one can be seen in
Washington D.C. at the Smithsonian Museum.

Councilmember Edwards requested that City Project 318 be divided into two projects, one including
only the assessed properties and one with the remainder of the project. Attorney LeFevere
recommended as follows. "If the council wishes to limit the scope of the hearing to discussion of
only that part of the project that will he assessed, it could divide the project into two parts and
conduct chapter 429 proceedings only on that part of the project that will he assessed. Otherwise, I
believe that anyone who wished to participate in the hearing would have a right to testify on any
aspect of the project that is being financed, at least in part. through special assessments." Edwards
said the Port Authority had recommended this as well at its last meeting. City Administrator Burt
noted that there will be additional costs for the changes that will be needed to the separate the
feasibility report and create two projects. Council agreed to wait for a staff report on additional
costs.
MOTION by Edwards to table the Receiving Feasibility Report/Set Public Hearing for
Improvements to Trunk Highway 3 from 145 Street to CSAH 42, City Project 318 until staff can

REGULAR MEETING
DECEMBER 19, 2000
Community Development Director Parsons presented the rezonings for specific land in the
Metropolitan Urban Service Area (MUSA) which is east of Highway 3 as designated by the neap in
the Clerk's File 2000 -46. These rezonings are consistent with the 2020 Comprehensive Guide Plan.
The Planning Commission held a public hearing on December 12, 2 000. Some established
businesses thought this would render their property non condoning. however that was not the case.
Their new zoning would be consistent with their use. Attorney Reid Hansen explained his concerns
regarding the McMenom /I lertogs property and the Public /Institutional zoning. Staff suggested that
an application to amend the Comprehensive Plan would initiate the appropriate process to change
the land use. The Planting Commission recommended proceeding with the rezoning as compliance
with the 2020 Comprehensive Plan.
Councilmember Edwards requested a review of the 18 month process and the lobbying efforts by the
Mayor and a Councilmember. City Administrator Burt noted the public meetings that were taken to
different locations in Rosemount to get as much resident in -put as possible. Councilmember Klassen
noted that to change the zoning now would be contrary to the whole process and she viewed this as
a "house keeping function" caused by Metropolitan Council's approval of the 2020 Comprehensive
P lan.

Essential Services Conditional Use Permit: Administrative Plat in Evermoor 2 Addition
Community Development Director Parsons reviewed the application of Evermoor's developer,
Contractor Property Developers Company (CPDC) to build a 450 sq. ft. building east of Shannon
Parkway to function as a service center for telephone, Internet and potentially, video service. It would
be a fiber optics hub where satellite antennas will receive signals that would be distributed
throughout the development. This structure would be treated much like the well house on Shannon
Parkway, landscaping and a monument sign will help to blend the building in with the surrounding
residential uses. The administrative plat is needed to create a renmant outlot for the structure. This
administrative plat converts the outlot into a combination of an outlot and the essential services lot
which will be called Evermoor 5 Addition.
Council stressed concerns for satellite dishes and antennas and therefore developed a condition to
be added to the Conditional Use Permit resolution: to be added to the end of the "NOW,
THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED paragraph and subject to the condition that no exterior
antennas or satellite dishes are permitted without an amendment to these CUP conditions.
Craig Rapp, architect for CPDC, explained the materials proposed for the structure and answered
clarification questions from City Council. Rapp noted that people are planning to move into homes
in 60 to 85 days and the telephone services is needed. Rapp requested that the satellite issue be taken
off the table in order to move the remainder of the request forward. He indicated they are willing to
comply with all city ordinances and ha further discussion. City Administrator Burt noted that the
use of the building is not under consideration at this time.

j. Resignation of Parks and Recreation Part -Time Receptionist
Councilmember Cisewski asked. "Why was City Council being presented with so many amendments
to the Evermoor Development regarding Consent Agenda Item 6.i. Evermoor Parkway Minor
PUD Amendment Cisewski noted she was not against this amendment, but wondered about the
frequency that amendments are before the City Council. City Planner Pearson said this was a
housekeeping matter and that although this issue was discussed earlier. it was not noted as a
condition within the Planned Unit Development (PUD). However, the developer agreed that it had
been discussed clearly prior to the signing of the PUD and would like it added as soon as possible.
The issue being the driveway locations and configuration to homes on Evermoor Parkway. The
request would allow encroachment of the driveway into the 5- foot(garage) side yard setbacks and

drainage and utility easements to within 2 feet of the property line. Planning Commission and staff
feel that a turnaround is needed to provide an alternative for vehicles backing onto Evermoor
Parkway. The builder was not aware of this expectation by the city due to lack of communication
of the developer and since it had not been stated in the conditions of the PUD. Nine homes had been
issued building permits without a turnaround. Because this variance does not involve variances to
buildings or changing the mix or style of housing. it is considered a minor amendment and only
needs City Council approval. Pearson also noted that there were no underground pipes or utilities
in these sideyard setbacks and easements. it only accommodates surface water runoff. Pearson said
the driveways would not have any significant affect on the water runoff.
City Administrator Burt noted that the City could not hold the builder responsible for homes already
started because it was not in the PUD. However, since safety is the main issue, Council has the
authority to make this PUD amendment to change driveway configuration for some of the remaining
homes. Mayor Busho has received phone calls from those who do not want any more driveways on
Shannon Parkway as well. Councilmember Edwards suggested a compromise, where the house
almost completed would be relieved of the turnaround requirement. the eight homes already started
would be granted the setback reduction. The remaining unsold lots will be required to have the
turnaround and no variances granted. Council consensus was that there should not he any zero lot
line building allowed.
MOTION by Edwards to adopt a resolution approving the Administrative Minor PUD Amendment
to Evennoor to allow the nine properties with building permits to proceed. to negotiate with the eight
properties that have not received but have submitted building permit applications, and apply the
condition requiring hammerhead driveways on the stain streets of Evermoor to the remaining lots;
and authorizing the execution of a PUD Amendment Agreement. Second by Cisewski. Discussion
ensued.
Mayor Busho requested a friendly amendment to state that the encroachments must allow a
minimum of 2 feet from the lot line. The motion maker Edwards agreed. Motion second Cisewski
agreed.
City Attorney LeFevere suggested that the PUD Amendment needs some language re- worked and
that a draft PUD Amendment could be presented to the developer and returned to City Council for
review. Motion maker Edwards agreed. Motion second Cisewski agreed.
The motion was changed as follows: MOTION by Edwards to adopt a resolution approving the
Administrative Minor PUD Amendment to Evermoor to allow the six properties with building
permits to proceed, to negotiate with the six properties that have not received but have submitted
building permit applications, and apply the condition requiring hammerhead driveways on the main
streets of Evermoor to the remaining lots. and the encroachments must allow a minimum of 2 feet
from the lot line. The draft PUD Amendment will be further reviewed by City Council. Second by
Cisewski. Ayes: Cisewski, Busho, Riley, Edwards, Klassen. Nays: None. Motion carried.

to be divided into two reports. one for assessments. one without. Staff needs further direction on the
ponding issue and on the feasibility report.
Councilmember Cisewski was on the Downtown Scoping Committee and the trees and decorative
brick were at the center of the project. Cisewski did not want to see these removed from the plan and
requested that the draft feasibility report dated November 21, 2000 be used. Councilmember Klassen
agreed and stated that two reports were not necessary. Klassen requested that staff set the public
hearing on February 6 2001. The project includes street improvements, curb and gutter, water and
sewer improvements, lighting, trees, and brick pavers. Only 9% of the project is being assessed to
property owners.

Counciltnember Klassen noted that the mining moratorium is still in effect so that any changes to
grading would not be acceptable at this time. The renewal of the mineral extraction permit is
acceptable. Mr. Loren Howard was present to note that the grading change is for closure of the
mining operation. Koch Refining has given Howard notice that the pit will close in 2003. The
changed grading plan would allow a better end use of the land. Attorney LeFevere noted that Exhibit
A would contain the phasing plan and the conditions would remain the same (thus removing the
proposed grading plan changes.) Mayor Busho noted that further discussion on mineral extraction
would conclude in March. 2001.

Aw ard Bid for Stage and Bandshell
Parks Recreation Director Schultz presented photos of the proposed hand shell structure and
installation infomtation. This idea began in 1991 with the resident committee for Erickson
Community Master Plan. The grading for a grass amphitheater was completed last year and
entertainment for Leprechaun Days was done in that area with very positive results. There has
been overwhelming response by local groups to use this proposed Bandshell. The exterior design
would match the design of the Central Park shelter using green shingles and treated wood. The
stage will be 54 feet wide by 33 feet deep and be elevated 36 inches.
The two bids received are from Miracle Recreation for the Bandshell structure and installation
2

PUBLIC HEARING: Improvements to Trunk Highway 3 from 145 Street to CSAH 42, C.P. 318
Mayor Busho explained the Public Hearing process which begins with an overview, then questions
from Council and audience, then the Public Hearing is opened for public continent, then the public
hearing is closed and Cite Council discusses what was presented. The City Clerk indicated that the
affidavits of published and posted notice were on tile.
Engineering Consultant David Hutton from WSB Engineering reviewed the feasibility report for City
Project 318. Hutton noted that the purpose of this public hearing would be either to assign and build
this project or not. The project includes improvements to Trunk Highway 3 from 145 Street to
CSAH 42, probably to he done in two phases. The first phase would be continuing the set streetscape
theme as done north of 145 Street West and make improvements to street and utilities down
Highway 3 to I47 Street. The second phase would be from 147 Street to CSAH 42 which includes
changing a rural ditch system to curb and gutter with storm sewer. The City will he looking toward
a cooperative agreement with N1nDOT for partial funding. A pond is suggested in the northwest
comer lot of Highway 3 and CSAH 42 for storm water. The location and size of this pond will likely
be changed when additional facts are gathered. The signal lights at 145 and CSAH 42 would be
upgraded. Right turn lanes would be added at CSAH 42 which would create a need to change the
railroad crossing anus. The streetscape would include brick pavers, sidewalk, and trees where
appropriate. Overhead power lines would he buried. Hutton reviewed estimated costs and funding
of the project with the overall cost at $3.8 million. The Assessment Policy sets out for an overlay
project a 35% assessment at 566.56 per frontage foot and for reconstruction $82.16 per frontage foot.
Council asked some clarification questions of Mr. Hutton.
Mark DeBeittignies, 4125 153 Street West, asked about sidewalk cost from 147' Street to CSAH
42. Hutton noted these costs were not included in the 582 per FF. It would he about an additional
$24.50 FF.
Mayor Busho opened the Public Hearing for audience input.
Peter Terry, Ace Hardware. 14635 South Robert Trail. Terry noted they were not against the basic
elements of City Project 318. Most parts of it are appropriate and beneficial. However, Terry had
strong concerns about removal of street accesses because it would be detrimental to their business.
There has not been any traffic accidents in front of Ace Hardware in 23 gars, so traffic safety can
not he a reason for eliminating highway access. Terry implied that funding from MnDOT was
dependent on fewer accesses when in fact there are no set requirements from MnDOT to receive
funding. Terry said that the timing and funding are not right for this project.
Steve Casey, 15455 Danville Avenue. Casey agreed with most parts of the project. His concern was
the placement of the street accesses. The accesses are so close together that sharp turns are necessary
which cause sight line problems. Casey noted that there are no legal agreements for shared parking
with any of the local businesses. The traffic report recently done indicated 3.9 accident incident per
year. Casey figured that would take 4,197,000 trips for 2 -3 accidents. This is incredible safe traffic.

Casey requested careful placement of trees on the boulevard so as not to cover store fronts or
signage. Also. maintenance of the plantings are questionable. Brick pavers require more maintenance
as well.
Sarah Dostel, 14605 South Robert Trail, Shenanigan's. Dostel was concerned about accesses being
removed creating less parking. Dostel noted that a face lift to the area is good but questioned how
much of it was necessary. There is very little if any pedestrian traffic now. Dostel said that society
now is convenience centered, easy in and out is necessary for a business to succeed.
Joanne Cope, 14717 Danville Avenue West, owns business rental next to KW IK Trip. Cope recalls
that the PUD for their property did not allow sidewalk along Highway 3. Cope noted that she and
most other residents do not walk for shopping downtown but drive. Cope asked why design a
pedestrian friendly downtown when everyone drives?
Jean Boche, 12845 Bengal Avenue, owners of Dakota Engraving, 14525 South Robert Trail. Bocke
asked to save tax dollars by taking out some of the decorative elements of the project. Boulevard
trees need better trimming and they don't seem to develop well. Brick pavers can't be seen from
moving vehicles. The street lights on the north end of the project are too close together. Boche
would like to see half the lights with no trees or Krick pavers. More efforts should he made by the
City to bring new businesses in. Parking is in short supply and more is needed because there isn't
any pedestrian shopping going on here now. Even the Rosemount Town Pages noted in an article that
there was no one walking around at 147' and Highway 3. Removing the sidewalk from the project
would save $213,000.
John Fran, ED Enterprizes, Kenrose Mall owner. Fran was concerned about closing street accesses
because it would be more difficult to exit because of the sharp turn necessary and limited view. Fran
also noted that loosing 4 8 parking space would impact the businesses in the mall.
Greg Fluegel, 15673 Crystal Court. represented Fluegel's Elevator Inc.. 14700 South Robert Trail.
Fluegel has been a resident for 40 years. Fluegel's is considering expanding to the south and access
onto Highway 3 would be needed. Fluegel asked that the city coordinate with their development.
Fluegel questioned why the improvements need to continue all the way down to CSAH 42?
Thomas Terry, 15711 Chasewood Court. Terry noted that re- vitalization is good. The city should
identify the healthy and strong businesses and assets and then build upon them. To remove any street
access is an eliminate of the project that is injurious to healthy and strong businesses.
Don Ratzlaff, 14630 South Robert Trail, 66 Station. Ratzlaff noted his business has been home for
37 years. He reminded city staff that all the downtown businesses rallied around the change to a three
lane highway a few years ago. Ratzlaff said the highway should have 5 to 7 years more life in it, so
why rebuild it now? Ratzlaff witnessed the reconstruction of Highway 3 back in the 40's, then it was
Highway 218. I-Ie remembered they dug down 11 feet, so how could there be a need now to remove
bad soil? Ratzlaff reported that it is very difficult to cross traffic on Highway 3 because it is very
busy. Ratzlaff felt his business would be de- valued if a street access was closed.

FEBRUARY 6, 2001
John Ryan, Genz -Ryan Plumbing, 14745 South Robert Trail. Ryan asked what would be done with
snow when removal was necessary? There doesn't appear to be enough room on the sidewalk to
leave it there. Ryan noted one newspaper article where a new resident said he didn't care what
happened to the downtown. And there are many others likely that are detached from the downtown
area. Ryan said we are not that kind of a conununity, but it is changing. Ile referred to the movie
"Field of Dreams if we build a pedestrian friendly downtown, it doesn't mean that "they will
come."
Ed McMenomy, 14450 South Robert Trail. McMenomy was pleased with the improvements made
north of 145` Street West last fall. McMenomy inspected the Kenrose /Shenanigan's parking lot and
thought it best to leave the accesses as is. Possibly waiting for a future time when re- development
of the block is called for and the population is up to 34,000 and the market is there. McMenomy
noted that there is no room for sidewalks and snow removal. McMenomy suggested considering a
task force for finding common ground and further input.

COMMITTEE OF THE WHOLE
FEBRUARY 14, 2000
Pursuant to due call and notice thereof the Committee of the Whole Work Session was held on
February 14. 2001, at 6:30 p.m. in the Council Chambers at City Hall.
Mayor Busho called the meeting to order with Councilmembers Cisewski, Edwards, Riley and
Klassen present. Staff members in attendance were City Administrator Tom Burt, Police Chief
Kalstabakken, City Planner Pearson, Community Development Director Parsons, Human
Resource /Conmmnications Coordinator Graff, and Finance Director May.
City Administrator Burt gave background regarding the planned remodel for City Hall. Costs for
the project were initially estimated to be about $2 million dollars. However. after investigation
by staff of all of the associated costs, the estimate is now $3.1 trillion dollars.
Finance Director May then reviewed the alternatives for financing the project considering the
new price tag. He outlined the different fund sources that could be accessed. He recommended
that the City buy down the $1 million dollars of the debt and issue a total of S2 million in debt.
If the project were financed for 20 years the payment would be $180,000 per month, consist with
the originally budget amount.
Council brought forth the following concerns and suggestions. Mayor Busho stated that she
thought the project should be financed over 20 years, but she did not want to use street or storm
water funds to buy clown the project. Council Member Klassen was concerned about what impact
buying down the debt for the City Hall project would have on the Streetscape Project. Council
Member Edwards asked if the entire project needed to be done right away. could items such as
furniture and computers wait until later? City Administrator Burt replied that it' furniture and
other equipment is not purchased now it would be in competition with other projects in the CIP.
Council Member Cisewski wanted detail on how the project got to be a $1 million more than
originally thought. Burt noted the largest overrun was that the interim move of city staff and
keeping all city services operational had not been configured into the estimated cost of the
remodel. Council Member Riley wondered how long the space would function for the Police
Department.
City Administrator Burt asked Council to wait until hard costs have been defined through the
bidding process. Once the costs were defined, it would be more apparent where costs in the
project could be cut.
Council had consensus to move ahead with this city hall remodeling proposal. Formal approval
to go out for bids will he brought to the March 6 111 Council Meeting. Council would like to
review bids received at the April Committee of the Whole meeting.
Connemara Avenue
The Council reviewed the proposed future alignment and alternatives for the developing area
north of Biscayne Pointe and extending east towards Akron Avenue. Acting City Engineer
Weiss was given the go -ahead to discuss crossings with the railroads. The Council endorsed the
conceptual grade separated crossing of the Union Pacific Railroad.

Transfer of Development Rights
City Planner Pearson explained the request from Mr. Richard Cliff to acquire development rights
from Ms. Wicklund so that he could sell 40 of his 76 acres. The Councilmembers present were
not comfortable with the idea, primarily because Cliffs land is in the future MUSA area. Staff
was given direction to prepare a policy that would only permit transfer of development rights in
the permanent agricultural area for future Council review.
Mining Report Update
The Council members present concurred with allowing Dahlgren, Shardlow and Uban to proceed
with the end -use plan for mining. but to hold off on the inventory and ordinance preparation to
limit costs. Staff will prepare alternatives for future Council review regarding future mining
areas and permit processing options.
The meeting was adjourned at 9:00 p.m.

ROSEMOUNT CITY PROCEEDINGS
REGULAR MEETING
FEBRUARY 20, 2001
Steve Casey, 15455 Danville Avenue, stated his displeasure with the Streetscape project on Highway
3. Casey contacted the Minnesota Department of Transportation (MnDOTI to understand the benefit
of having driveway closures onto Highway 3. A representative from MnDOT explained that projects
are rated for improvements and the number of people affected by that and the benefit to them. The
higher the rating the more consideration of if and how much money MnDOT will contribute to the
project. Closing driveways was considered a benefit and received higher ratings. Casey noted that
closing driveways showed a lack of consideration by the City for the downtown businesses. Casey
said this project does not have the support of the community. Casey requested that his letter be made
part of the record. City Clerk Jentink will attach it to the permanent record. Clerk's File 2001 -07.
Sarah Dostle, 14605 South Robert Trail, Manager of Shenanigans. commented on tonight's
amendments to the city code liquor policy. Police Chief Kalstabakken contacted her today about
these changes. Dostle said she did not have enough time to respond. Dostle felt that the $2000 fine
for selling to minors was excessive, it should be a graduated tine. The "after hours" changes seemed
to restrict special breakfast meetings such as the Lions Club or Rotary Club [night have.
Rish Mohabir, CEO of Rosemount Liquor, 3395 Upper l47 Street, has been a resident for 30 years.
Mohahir was against the city code liquor amendments. Mohabir said the $2000 fine was punitive,
he would support a graduated fine process. His liquor store makes strong efforts to follow the law.
Mohahir wished to have participation in any amendments and encouraged input from local
businesses.
DEPARTMENT HEADS REPORTS: Stormwater Management Plan Update
Engineering Consultant Bret Weiss noted that because Rosemount had rolling terrain, providing
positive outlets to the City's numerous ponds is very expensive. Financial analysis of how these
improvements will be funded will require policy changes and the Stormwater Management Plan
should be updated to address this and format a plan to improve the current ponding problems. The
Utilities Commission recommended moving forward with this update.

would be updated. Barth plans to support the local youth and community groups. Barth reviewed the
current use of the parking lots and the number of available spaces at different times of the day,
concluding that the nixed uses of the buildings allows enough parking to accommodate this new
business. Council Member Edwards reminded Barth of the 51% food sales required for this liquor
license.
Steve Nielsen, owns the building at 14520 South Robert Trail. Mike O'Rourke maintains the parking

Whole and Planning Commission held a public hearing at which there were no public comments
made. Council discussed considering seasonal permission to leave recreational vehicles out in ones
driveway and the ability to tie the storage of construction materials to building permits. City
Administrator Burt noted that many smaller construction jobs do not require a building permit so this

area of Rosemount. The Utilities Commission recommended that the City Council open the
application process for a competitive overbuild.
Council Member Klassen remembered the City looking into competitive overbuilds and there wasn't
enough saturation to warrant the investment. Klassen did not see the need for this.
Attorney LeFevere noted that this is "new ground" the rules have not been written for this yet. If
only the "best" part of the city is claimed, then what will be left for the other parts of the city?
Economic factors are not determined at this time. The process of a public hearing may bring this kind
of information up. Mayor Busho noted that Charter Communication may have an interest in this.
Edwards also noted that the fill ramifications for cable phone, and intemet is not understood at this
time.
Craig Rapp noted that this infrastructure of fiber optics is critical to the data sen'ices Evermoor
wishes to provide. CPDC wants to follow city policies and wants to be on the cutting edge of
technology as well. Rapp noted they would also like to coimect to the surrounding schools. Rapp
requested Council to follow the Utilities Commission recommendation to call for the public hearing.

in Evennoor. Studeny noted how her children need the computer for rewards and education. She and
her husband also use the computer for their work. Studeny wants to hook several computers together

home and work.

franchise, discuss this at a work session, and then proceed with the public hearing process. Second
by Cisewski. Ayes: Edwards. Klassen. Cisewski, Busho, Riley. Nays: None. Motion carried.
Amendment to City Code 3 -1, Liquor Regulations
Police Chief Kalstabakken presented changes to the City Code Section 3 -1, Liquor Regulations. This
is the first reading, input will he taken, and then a final draft will be presented to City Council at a
following meeting. Minnesota State law is adopted by reference in our City Code. State law now
allows for up to a $2000 fine and suspension of liquor license for 60 days or revoking the license for
violations of state law or ordinances related to liquor regulations. The language in 3 -1 -8 F. is for
clarifying the presence of non employees on licensed premises outside of the time that liquor sales
are permitted. Some minor changes were suggested by City Council.
Attorney LeFevere noted that the fine for liquor law violations is due 15 days following the City
Councils imposition of it. This would likely be many days from the time of the violation. LeFevere
also noted that the non- employees on premises is actually a relaxing of the current Code.

City Planner Pearson reviewed property owner Michael Kulhanek's application for variances to build
a home and accessory' building. The Planning Commission had approved these variances at their
December 12 2000 meeting. Neighbors, Kurt Betty Ann Schneider, 12365 Blanca Avenue, Jeff
Maggie Nelson, 12334 South Robert Trail, and Tracy Dougherty, 12370 Blanca Avenue, appealed
the variances decision by the Planning Commission to this City Council with concerns about the
wetlands.

ROSEMOUNT CITY PROCEEDINGS
REGULAR MEETING
MARCH 6, 2001
Alyson Morris, Water Resource Engineer, discussed the two wetland areas on the lot. The wetland
to the west is Basin #2 and is a Type 2 Wetland, which can allow a maximum of 2000 square feet
of fill. This would however, cause the water to move north and encroach on the septic system field.
These wetlands do not have an outlet which would allow water to drain out of the area. An overland
flow to the west should then be created which would require some piping and assessments to the
benefiting neighbors.
Mr. Mike Kulhanek, temporarily at 19739 Coates Boulevard, Hastings, said that this appeal is not
appropriate and he believes the Planning Commission's decision should stand. Kulhanek received
a letter from Ms. Dougherty asking to purchase his lot. Kulhanek had no interest in selling, but
simply wanted to build his home. Staff had requested changes to the house plan and 17 revisions
were made over time. Kulhanek wishes to go ahead with his house plan and would forgo the
accessory structure if necessary.
Wayne Jacobson, Soil and Wetland Scientist, from Svoboda Ecological Resources, reviewed past
recorded history and aerial photographs of the wetland. This information did not show any flooding
or significant change. The placement of the house and septic system field show no direct affect on
the wetlands. Fill would be required for placement of the accessory garage. Jacobson noted that his
client, Kulhanek, would like to proceed with the house as planned.
Denny Palmer, from Barr Engineering, submitted a report on behalf of the neighbors dated February
28` 2001, which showed concerns about future flooding due to the new construction on the
Kulhanek property. Palmer noted that current residents already seem to have problems with high
ground water with excessive use of their sump pumps and leakage into their basements. Palmer
noted confusion between the ordinary high water mark and flood level; it is the difference between
long term and an instant look. The vegetation does point to the normal water level. however, the
snow melt alone this year could cause 7.1 of run off water which would cause the pond to rise two
to four feet. Palmer noted that Wetland 41 does not have a drainage plan, there is no where for the
water to go. Palmer reported that fill should not be allowed in Wetland #2.
Mayor Busho opened the Public Hearing for audience input.
Jeff Nelson, 12334 South Robert Trail, spoke on behalf of all the neighbors appealing the Kulhanek
variances. Nelson presented photos showing the character of the neighborhood. Nelson felt that the
three story house plan would not fit into the neighborhood. Their major concern is the issue of
flooding and high ground water. Anything that will augment the flooding or high ground water
would not be acceptable to the neighbors. Nelson noted that he has under floor heat ducts and that
they did get moisture in them last summer.
Betty Ann Schneider, 12365 Blanca Avenue, noted that the water did travel over land in 1963 from
Wetland #1 to Wetland #2. Schneider was concerned about the high ground water and said that any
fill used would only make it worse.

Glenn Gustafson, 12310 Blanca Avenue, said the lot's original owner put fill across the wetland
which divided it in two.
Tracy Dougherty, 12370 Blanca Avenue, said she was not against Mr. Kulhanek building his home.
Dougherty noted that when she and her neighbors built there were restrictive covenants that applied
to all the lots. She wondered if staff and Kulhanek were aware of those covenants? Dougherty was
against any fill for the accessory garage and concerned about the amount of blacktop used which may
cause more runoff water. Dougherty noted that she sincerely hoped they could be good neighbors
to Mr. Kulhanek.
Mike Kulhanek, 19739 Coates Boulevard, Hastings, Minnesota, 55033, reported that Mr. Nelson had
put about 300 sq. feet of fill into the wetland about 1997 or 1998. Kulhanek explained that he has
designed the rain gutters to flow away from the wetlands. Kulhanek's house plan was custom
designed especially for this lot. The smaller base of the house allows less change to the lot trying to
preserve the character of the land. Kulhanek requested that Council consider allowing the house even
if they would not allow the accessory building.
Water Resource Engineer Morris noted that acknowledging the 300 sq. feet of fill exempts him from
the permitted 2000 sq. feet of till for Wetland #2.
Wayne Jacobson, from Svoboda Ecological Resources, noted that if the fill from the past owner was
not documented in records, then Mr. Kulhanek, who is applying in the proper way, should not be
penalized.
MOTION by Edwards to close the public hearing for Appeal of Lot Area Variance for 12355 Blanca
Avenue, Michael Kulhanek. Second by Klassen. Ayes: Five. Nays: None. Motion carried.
Mayor Busho noted that no one seems to be against the house, but that the accessory building
variances are the issue.
Council Member Klassen noted that the Planning Commission did not have the benefit of the
wetland experts at the time of their decision. Klassen gave credit to Kulhanek for a good plan for the
house even with the limitations. Klassen said she would not be in favor of allowing the accessory
building. Staff assured Klassen that the septic system, both regular and back -up. has adequate area.
Council Member Cisewski agreed that the house is a good plan. Cisewski had concerns about the
septic system and the future impact to the ground water.
MOTION by Cisewski to direct staff to prepare findings in support of overturning the variances to
accessory structure front and side yard setbacks for the property at 12355 Blanca Avenue and a
condition providing for the septic system field area and a land overflow. Second by Riley.
Discussion ensued.
Interim City Engineer Weiss said it was standard procedure to verify that there is overland drainage.

Public Hearing: Carrousel Plaza Street Utility Improvements, City Project 322
Mayor Busho open the public hearing process. The City Clerk indicated that the affidavits of
published and posted notice were on file.
Acting City Engineer Weiss reviewed the feasibility report for the Carrousel Plaza Improvements
requested by Heritage Development. This project is located south of the Marcus Theater and adjacent
to Chippendale Avenue. Sanitary sewer will be extended to the Harold Wachter property at the
closest point. The Wachter property already has city water. A 16 inch trunk watermain is
recommended from Chippendale to Trunk Highway 3 connecting to the existing 12 inch stain there.
This will be a connection site to complete a loop system for the watemtain past the railroad which
will improve water quality and water pressure to our southern border. 160 Street. City Limits
Bowling Lanes, Carlson Properties, Heritage Development and Harold Wachter will each be
assessed for a portion of the improvements. Water, Sewer, and Storm Sewer Core Funds will pay
for the majority of the project. The Carrousel Plaza Townhomes Project will have 38 units and a
future office building site. Weiss noted that the project would be bid in March, construction would
run May to September. and the assessments would he set in the fall.
There were no clarification questions or comments from the audience.
MOTION to Busho close the Public Hearing for Carrousel Plaza Street Utility Improvements,
City Project 322. Second by Cisewski. Ayes: Five. Nays: None.

Ordinance B Amendments Regulating Outdoor Storage and Parking
Code Enforcement Official O'Bryan presented Council with a revision of the proposed outdoor
storage and parking regulations. Staff drafted possible language allowing recreation vehicles during
specific months. O'Bryan noted that the months were chosen per information from the Department

of Natural Resources Also impervious surface was changed to "hard surface" in the woodpile
ordinance. Discussion ensued. City Administrator Burt noted that the difference would be defining
"parking" and "storage" on driveways. Attorney LeFevere noted that this would not allow any
storage in the front yard, but it would be O.K. for an interim time. Police Chief Kalstabakken said
that it is most commonly accepted to have recreational vehicles on driveways. Ordinance B 8.1
refers to the driveway turn-a- rounds on collector streets.
MOTION by Edwards to adopt proposed zoning ordinance that amends section 3.2, 4.0, 6.5, 6.6,
and 8.1. Second by Riley. Ayes: Busho, Riley, Edwards, Klassen, Cisewski. Nays: None. Motion
carried.
Mayor Busho called for a ten minute recess. The meeting was reconvened at 9:14 p.m.
Dakota County Shop Update
City Administrator Burt introduced Don Theisen from Dakota County to present the update from
Dakota County. City Council had reviewed the needs requested by Dakota County for their new
maintenance facility at a work session on February 9' 2001. New rules from the Environmental
Protection Agency (EPA) mandate on -site utilities for an operational plan. Metropolitan Council has
approved an amendment to the Empire Township Plan that will permit this project. They based their
approval on strong evidence that it cannot be located elsewhere. Theisen noted that Dakota County
believes that the location is good and will provide a buffer area that will be environmentally the best.
Interim City Engineer Weiss said that the County has always had a cooperative relationship with the
City. Weiss hoped this would continue with storage support of our salt site which no longer fulfills
the new EPA rules. Having the Highway Department plows near our main roads should provide fast
removal of snow. Weiss indicated that the sewer must come from the west because the Biscayne
interceptor is too shallow to provide drainage. The area east of Highway 3 and along 160 Street
West needs both sewer and water to improve the water quality and pressure. Mayor Busho talked
with Fire Chief Aker who definitely thought that utilities in this area would be a benefit for fire
suppression equipment. Weiss noted staff does not have a cost figure yet because easements have
not been determined. Theisen noted that the County would agree to their fair share of costs of the
project. Fire suppression without public utilities would require three wells on site and a wet pond
with a pump.
Police Chief Kalstabakken said that police and fire service for the south side of 160` Street, which
is Empire Township, would be handled by the Dakota County Sheriffs Office. tire would he handled
by Farmington. but by the mutual aid agreement, Rosemount would be first on scene in most cases.
Council Member Klassen said she had a huge problem with the siting of this facility. Klassen noted
that Metropolitan Council had in their Regional Blue Print designated that urban uses should not be
permitted on agricultural lands. This project would be costly to Rosemount residents and it is a
philosophical issue. Empire Treatment Plant is already over used and we can't be sure further
development won't follow.

MARCH 6, 2001
Council Member Cisewski questioned the expansion possibilities and what might develop there. Past
development has followed public utilities and this would not be desirable in this case. Cisewski
wants to continue a cooperative relationship with Dakota County but not at the expense of residents.
Council Member Edwards requested further information, a feasibility report, and perhaps a work
session.
The consensus was to gather information about the extension of utilities to 160 Street and review
it at the April work session.
Council Member Riley did not have a problem with the location. The Rosemount Business Park is
right across the street and the water and sewer would benefit those businesses.
Mayor Busho asked Weiss to estimate costs, potential assessments, easements, and possible
condemnations. Busho requested the Fire Chiefs comments in a letter or memo form.
Centex PUD Amendment for Bloomfield
City Plattner Pearson reviewed the amendment request by Steve Ach of Centex Homes Minnesota
Division. Pearson determined that the comparison to single family units and twinhomes was only
3.2% different from the approved Planned Unit Development. Centex proposed a housing plan that
functions on a 70 foot wide lot with no setback reductions, a grade separated rail crossing. and
increased open space. This increases the housing units from 413 to 590 overall. The increased open
space along the outer edges of the development help to mitigate the combined effects of CSAH 42,
the refinery, and the railroad tracks.
Steve Ach, Centex Homes, reviewed the changes to road alignments, smaller lots, and more open
space, nearly 36.5 acres. Ach answered questions from the City Council. Ach commented that the
valuation of the homes are higher. The Sales Manager for Centex Homes noted that Woodbury now
has homes with three -car garages on 55 foot lots that are worth S260.745. She believes that
Rosemount has a lot to offer home buyers with quality, value in homes, parks, shopping, and
schools. There are only 3 available lots left to sell.
Several council members cotmmented on the small Tots. Pearson noted that trends for homes change,
and right now many families have two jobs and want very small yards due to time restraints. These
narrow lots are also longer so they are very close to the same square footage.
Council Member Edwards reminded everyone about the 70/30 split of housing required by the
City's Comprehensive Guide Plan. This PLED is 57% single family and 42% multi family. Edwards
did not approve of the 70 foot wide lots. He felt it would not benefit the City in the long run.
Council Member Cisewski noted that there are no natural features on this land to preserve. Storm
water pending is required but these will not be natural wetlands. City Engineer Weiss agreed that
clay linings would not be allowed in the man made ponds because there is no outlet drainage plan.
1
Potential flooding could be a concern. Cisewski could verify that odor from Koch Refining was only
a problem about five days a year.
Council Member Riley was for the Centex Amendment. Riley liked the gained open space. She felt
the homes were attractive and the homes still met the required 20 foot distance between housing.
Riley stated that Centex is one of the Fortune 500 companies in Minnesota.
Mayor Busho noted that the 70/30% housing split is an overall goal for the city and not required of
each development.
MOTION by Edwards to adopt A RESOLUTION DENYING THE CONCEPT PUD

from." Council agreed to the clarification change. Council Member Riley requested that the City
Council work with the developer by allowing them two weeks and then have Council reconsider the
amendment. Community Development Director Parsons explained that Bloomfield has already been
through the procedural process which includes review by the Planning Commission. Any major
amendments should return to the Planting Commission for review. Mayor Busho asked about the
60 -day rule which City Administrator Burt replied that one extension has been granted. Once Centex
has submitted their revisions, staff can determine if it is a major or minor amendment to the Planned
Unit Development.
Steve Ach, Centex Homes Minnesota Division. responded that the changes should only be minor.
A change includes the railroad crossing issue and most likely the unit density will decrease.
City Attorney LeFevere commented that it would be O.K. to proceed with the findings and if they
are in conflict with future changes or additional conditions would change. that resolution could be
rescinded. Council Member Edwards noted that he is adamant on the 80 -foot wide lot size.

Amendment to City Code 3 -1, Liquor Regulations
Police Chief Kalstabakken presented the second reading of an ordinance change to be consistent with
the Minnesota State Statutes pertaining to liquor licensing. Discussion at the February 20 2001 City
Council meeting directed some of these changes. The Class B definition was amended to define the
total revenues from food only during the hours that alcoholic beverages are sold. This would prohibit
food carryout sales to count toward total food sales. The compliance checks clause, 3 -1 -12 -F. was
simplified. State Statutes state a maximum tine of $2000 would apply for failure of compliance
checks. City Council would determine the amount on a case -by -case basis, hence the 2001 Rates and
Fee Resolution 2000 -139 will have the $1000 compliance check failure fee removed.
MOTION by Riley to approve an ordinance amending Rosemount City Code 3 -1. liquor regulations
and to adopt a resolution removing Alcohol Compliance Check Failure from the City Schedule of
Rates and Fees. Second by Edwards. Ayes: Riley, Edwards, Klassen, Cisewski, Busho. Nays: None.

2001 CDBG Allocation
Community Development Director Parsons presented the request for application for funds
administered by the Dakota County Community Development Agency. Rosemount has an allocation
of $68281 this year. The Port Authority reviewed the policy to acquire non conforming, functionally
obsolete, residential properties in the downtown commercial district with the intent to re- develop
them. They agreed on the following: 1) the Port Authority may seek wherever possible to acquire
private property from a willing seller 2) demolish non conforming houses rather than rent them. that

Mayor Busho convened the meeting at 6:30 p.m. She added an additional item, an update on
MNDOT funding of the City Streetscape Project which she indicated would be discussed
following the first item.
St. Joseph's Catholic Church Development Plan
Council discussion of the project was limited. Council Member Klassen opened discussion by
stating St. Joseph's should be treated the same as any other developer and that discussion outside
of the application process was inappropriate. Council Member Edwards echoed this sentiment
and the St. Joseph's staff were encouraged to go through the normal channels to advance the
project forward.

ROSEMOUNT CITY PROCEEDINGS
COMMITTEE OF THE WHOLE
MARCH 14, 2001
The City has received funding for the City Streetscape project. City Administrator Burt reviewed
the numbers with Council and indicated that the project had the highest rate given by MNDOT
this year. The $500,000 award will allow the City to keep assessments for the project much lower.
2001 Resident Survey
Human Resource Coordinator Graff reviewed the background for this year's upcoming Resident
Survey and distributed the preliminary questions. Council members will review the questions on
their own and return any comments and /or changes to Grath by the Tuesday, March 20` Council
meeting Approval for the final survey will be sought at the first Council meeting in April, in
order for Decision Resources to begin their field work in April. 2001.
Purchasing Policy
Finance Director May presented a draft purchasing policy which would invoke a recently updated
Minnesota State Statute enabling staff to make purchases of up to $50.000 without going through
a formal hid process. Council stated that they were uncomfortable with not approving purchases
for that amount of money and that having a policy that cited a statute that could change at anytime
was problematic. A compromise was proposed wherein the policy will state that amounts under
$50.000 will not require a formal bid process. However purchases will require that we get at least
two different quotes from vendors. Also, expenditures between $25.000 $50.000 must gamer the
approval of Council before the item can be purchased. Finance Director May will rewrite the
policy to reflect these changes and then place it as a consent item at an upcoming Council meeting.

6.a. Minutes of March 20, 2001 Regular City Council
Council Member Cisewski requested that the minutes of March 20, 2001, be amended to reflect the
Port Authorities conclusions at their recent meeting. Page 2, last paragraph would amend item 1) to
read, "The Port Authority may seek, wherever possible, to acquire private property from a willing
seller."
MOTION by Cisewski to amend the March 20, 2001, City Council minutes to reflect the Port
Authorities conclusions on CDBG funds. Second by Klassen. Ayes: Edwards, Klassen, Cisewski,
Busho. Nays: None. Motion carried.
6.i. Restriction on the Use and Sale of Phosphorous Lawn Fertilizer
Council Member Cisewski noted that a resolution is not an enforcement tool, so possibly this
resolution is coming too far ahead of education. Cisewski noted two options; to table this item, or,
show support but not in the form of a resolution. Consensus was that there should not be any
restrictions at this point. Council Member Klassen noted that this was intended to support new
legislation however, the deadline requested by the letter from Shoreview had passed so it would
seem a mute point. Mayor Busho directed staff to continue working on the fertilizer issue, but not
to duplicate Dakota County's efforts. No action was taken.
Centex Bloomfield Minor Planned Unit Development Amendment
City Planner Pearson reviewed the minor amendment to CMC's approved PUD that Centex
proposed. There have been several improvements to the plan. All of the single family lots that
previously fronted on Bloomfield Path have been reoriented and will have driveways to applicable
local streets. The carriage homes (quads) are consistent in number with the "mansion homes" of the
original concept, but there is more space between them and the railroad tracks. The housing type is
consistent with the original concept. There will be 280 single family lots and 76 carriage homes.
There are no variances. The rezoning will require a public hearing at the Planning Commission and
it is usually done after the preliminary plat is approved.
MOTION by Klassen to adopt A RESOLUTION APPROVING THE MINOR AMENDMENT
TO THE PLANNED UNIT DEVELOPMENT FOR BLOOMFIELD. Second by Edwards.
Ayes: Klassen. Cisewski, Busho, Edwards. Nays: None. Motion carried.
Council Member Edwards left the meeting ill at 8:10 p.m.

St. ,Joseph's Church and Education Center Development Concept
City Planner Pearson reviewed the concept plans for the St. Joseph's Church in the southeast corner
of Connemara Trail extended east to Biscayne Avenue. The Planning Commission held a Public
Hearing on March 27 and had one property owner, who is developing land abutting to the southeast,
comment on development of ponds close to the property line. Staff and the Planning Commission
recommend approval of the concept plan.
Mr. Mitchell, a representative of the Church Planning Committee, sited the requirements they looked

at for a site: 1) 25 -30 acres, look ahead to community needs 2) accessibility 3) utilities close 4)
centralized in the community to best serve everyone and 5) beautiful building. Mitchell noted that
if Council had any reservations about moving ahead with this location and concept plan the
Committee would like to know now rather than at the re- zoning point of planning. Council did not
foresee any reason the project would not go forward.
Parks Recreation Director Schultz said the Parks Committee has met with the Church and they
discussed possible joint use agreements for ballfields. This is premature, but the Committee is
willing to work through the process and continue cooperative efforts.
Mayor Busho asked City Engineer Weiss about street alignments. Access points in the concept plan
work well. Connemara Trail will have to he extended past the railroad tracks. The alignment of
Connemara Trail needs to incorporate a possible over -pass for the railroad. There will be a
substantial cost for this development.
Council Member Klassen noted that she will miss the Church on Highway 3. It has been a landmark
and entrance into Rosemount. Mayor Busho asked about how the building will be used after the new
church is built. Mitchell said it will take several years to determine and the church may find a use
for it. But, generally it is up to the pastors and parishioners to decide. A sixth condition was added
to the resolution: 6. Development in Phase 2 shall be consistent with the Comprehensive Plan and
compliant with the applicable zoning.
MOTION by Cisewski to adopt A RESOLUTION APPROVING THE CONCEPT FOR ST.
JOSEPH'S CATHOLIC CHURCH AND EDUCATION CENTER DEVELOPMENT PLAN.
Second by Klassen. Ayes: Klassen. Cisewski, Busho. Nays: None. Motion carried.
Amendment to Water Meter Installation Policy
City Administrator Burt niet with the Utilities Commission at a regular meeting where this new
technology was discussed. This is a radio read method which allows large areas, several blocks, to
be read at the same time. This amendment will also initiate installation of the water meters by the
contractors, not city staff. This will reduce staff time significantly. This is the first reading of the
Ordinance amendment and it will be considered at the next City Council meeting.
Commission Orientation
City Administrator Burt noted that the newly appointed Commissioners have been talking with
department heads to bring them up to speed on projects. They, along with all city commissioners are
invited to attend an orientation meeting which reviews city policies and goals. Mayor Busho
suggested the date of April 18' at 7:00 p.m. City Attorney LeFevere and Burt agreed to that date.
MOTION by Busho to set a special meeting for an all commission orientation on April 18, 2001,

Dakota County Shop Update
Interim City Engineer Bret Weis presented his April 6, 2001 memo addressing 12 points. The
Council preference was for Option 1. which makes the County responsible for 100% of all
associated costs. Weis indicated that staff had met with the staff from the Metropolitan Council
and the extension of sewer to the proposed shop would be calculated against Empire Township
and not Rosemount's allocation. Weis informed Council that as he prepared his report he did
identify there is currently an error in the city's comprehensive plan and the City will need to ask
for a Comp Plan amendment for additional sewer capacity at the Empire waste water treatment
plant.
The City Council directed staff to prepare agreements between Dakota County and the city to
provide for sewer and water to the proposed site. The Council directed staff to also include that
the agreement approval would be conditioned on only providing service to the north 40 acres of

facility, and all costs of construction is the responsibility of the County.

Public Comment
Response to Public Comment
ROSEMOUNT CITY PROCEEDINGS
REGULAR MEETING
APRIL 17, 2001
Steve Casey, 15455 Danville Avenue, requested City Council to reconsider the downtown
streetscape project. Casey thought the light poles are too close, their distance apart should be cut in
half and alternated with the other side of the street. The brick pavers do not endure winters well and
are covered by snow out of sight most of the year, therefore unnecessary. The burying of electrical
lines are a financial burden to the affected businesses..
Harry Willcox, 14674 Danville Avenue, was against the proposed downtown streetscape. Willcox
reviewed past downtown plans and believed it is very hard to keep businesses vital. Willcox stated
this added expense of assessments to businesses would he economic suicide.
City Attorney LeFevere responded to the Planning Commission removal of Kim Shoe Corrigan.
LeFevere quoted the Minnesota Statutes Section 412.111, "The council may, except otherwise
provided, remove any appointive officer or employee when in its judgement the public welfare will
be promoted by the removal." The public welfare is determined in the Council's judgement. Policy
and political decisions are considered. LeFevere stated such general reasons as: replacing a democrat
on the Planning Commission with a republican, being too friendly or too hostile, not sufficiently
creative, or full of impractical ideas, or not compatible with other members. There is no legal
requirement that the City Council snake findings or formally state reasons or justification for its
decision.
Council Member Riley thought that a reason should be stated, and noted that she had no knowledge
of why Kim Shoe- Corrigan was removed from Planning Commission. Riley did not see this action
as "in the pubic interest." Riley has heard extensive support for Kim in the community. Kim is to
he applauded for her attributes: strong leadership skills, good judgement. and professionalism.
Riley's fact finding of the action does not support the removal of Kim Shoe Corrigan. Riley stated
this is our loss and in poor judgement.

Parks Recreation Director Schultz presented the proclamation for Arbor Day and Arbor Month

debt. The developer will make funds available when they are due to the contractor and provide a

it. VonBische thanked the City for the play equipment for the neighborhood park.

Mayor Busho explained the Public Hearing process for the audience. The City Clerk indicated that
the affidavits of published and posted notice were on file for all three public hearings.
PUBLIC HEARING: 2001 Street and Utility Reconstruction Improvements, Dodd Blvd.,
Danville Ave. City Project 326
Acting Engineer Weiss reviewed the planned improvements for Dodd Boulevard, Dallara Avenue,
and Delft Avenue, which would include completing a loop for the watermain and changing it from
6 inch to an 8 -inch watermain. The bike path would also be completed on the south side of the street.
Danville Avenue is being consider to add into this years reconstruction because of the flooding
problems last year and complaints on the watermain system there. Twin Puddles pond would be
excavated in order to hold more runoff water. Mayor Busho noted that the Utilities Commission has
not discussed including Danville Avenue. The costs for Danville Avenue would cone from the
general fund. Clarification questions were asked.
Harry Willcox, 14674 Danville Avenue, asked why the FEMA flood money couldn't be used to pay
for this project? Police Chief Kalstabakken said the only funds they received were for expenses
already incurred. Willcox asked why you would pump water from the north pond to the south pond?
Would a parking lot bring contamination to the pond water. Weiss responded that Twin Puddles
Ponds do not have an outlet. which is needed, and that a parking lot does not pose a threat to pond
water.
Tom Piekarski, 14800 Dodd Boulevard, asked how many feet of easement are needed? Weiss noted
it is 17 feet along the front lot line. Piekarski did not want to hook up to city water. Ordinance XI.1
established the policy in 1970 stating that when \rater was available to a property it would be
required to hook up to it within two years.
Mayor Busho opened the floor for public comments.
Harry Willcox, 14674 Danville Avenue, was for the Dodd Blvd. and Danville Ave. portion of the
project. but not the changes to Twin Puddles.
Tim and Zimma Zamanovic, 14915 Danville Avenue, would like the improvements done this year.
Waiting would only increase the costs. Zemanovic would like the priority for Twin Puddles to be
a park rather than a holding pond. He noted that Dallara Park needs new play equipment.
Blane Voigt, 14833 Danville Avenue, would like Danville Ave. improvements done this year.
Dermis Heinzen, 14587 Danbury Avenue, commented that he would like to see the improvements
done and that staff did a super job repairing the street after the flood last year.

ROSEMOUNT CITY PROCEEDINGS
REGULAR MEETING
APRIL 17, 2001
Tom Piekarski, 14800 Dodd Boulevard, said he would not mind the easement for the bike path if he
doesn't have to hook up to water. Piekarski is satisfied with his well water and can't justify the
expense to have city water. Piekarski noted the frequent number of car accidents at the corner of
Dodd Blvd. and Shannon Parkway. Piekarski also observed that the culvert by his property never has
water running in it.
Acting City Engineer Weiss said the speed limit and signs posted are set by a state traffic
commission. The [umber of vehicles counted at the intersection of Dodd Blvd. and Shannon Pkwy.
are not high enough yet to make any changes.
Parks Recreation Director Schultz said that Dallara Park will have new play equipment in by June
10 The Twin Puddles play equipment was taken out about 7 years ago. The people using the bike
path will have to cross at Dodd Blvd. and Shannon Pkwy, so it may be wise to consider a stop sign
there with a pedestrian crossing.
Edwards sensed that those at the informational meeting did want the water system taken care of.
There was no one there against the project.
Discussion was held on different ways to divide the project. Cisewski was in favor of limiting any
construction delays. but would allow the Utilities Commission to give input.
MOTION by Edwards to close the Public Hearing for the 2001 Street Utility Reconstruction

Mayor Busho called for a five- minute break at 9:15 p.m. The meeting was reconvened at 9:20 p.m.
PUBLIC HEARING: Appeal of Denial for Land Division for Richard Cliff
City Planner Pearson reviewed staff's interpretation of the density rules used with the platting of
Stonebridge and Stonebridge Second Additions from the 160 acres owned by Richard Cliff. Cliff
has a buyer for 40 acres now and would like to divide his remaining 79.54 acres in the Agriculture
District. The Agriculture district residential density is one unit per forty acres. which staff interprets
to he a minimum. Attorney Vance Grannis, Mr. Cliffs attorney, is requesting that the City "round
upwards" from the79.54 acres to the full 80 acres. Staff does not believe that the ordinance allows
for such discretion. The Planning Commission reviewed this and upheld staffs interpretation with
a 3 to 1 vote. City Council does have the final word to clarify city planning code interpretation.

ROSEMOUNT CITY PROCEEDINGS
REGULAR MEETING
APRIL 17, 2001
Attorney Vance Grannis. Mr. Cliff's attorney, argued that case law shows that many townships and
municipalities have in the past used the closest whole number when figuring density, just because
it makes sense. Council did not want to set a precedent. Klassen noted this area is going to be Urban
Reserve in the future MUSA area, which would increase the density. It was suggested that an area
variance might be applied for with the Planning Commission. Grannis asked if the fee for the appeal
could be credited to the variance application. Consensus was that the fee could not he transferred.
Mike McMenomy, 1838 Fairmont Avenue, St. Paul, owns the faun next to Rich Cliff which he
fanned for 41 years. Rich has been the best neighbor. Rich is 70 years old, a fine man, who is being
put through a lot for land that he now needs the value of for his retirement.
John Remkus, 13040 Akron Avenue, asked for reasonableness. Less than '/2 of one percent makes
up the difference short of the 80 acres. Human judgement calls for fairness for society as a whole.
Remkus asked that Council make this happen tonight.
Richard Cliff, 12523 Akron Avenue, noted that his abstract says 80 acres. He pays taxes on 80 acres.
Cliff asked Council to reverse staff's decision so he could sell his land.
Wayne Groth, 14560 135 Street East. was in favor of Rich Cliffs request.
Bob Hawkins, 1110 124 Court, was in favor of the land division. Hawkins asked Council to do
what was reasonable and fair.
Tamara Hamelen, 4731 West 129 Street, Savage, thanked the audience for their backing of her
father, Rich Cliff. She said her Dad would give his shirt off his back for anyone. Hamelen stated,
"This land is her Dad's pension plan and he should be allowed to sell it."
Pat Iverson, 1145 124 Court West, requested Council to do what was right. He was in favor of
Cliff.
Denise Travers, 12467 Biscayne Avenue, noted that a little bit of good can go a long way. Travers
was in favor of the land division.
Jim Powell, 12311 Akron Avenue, said there was such a small amount of difference from the 80
acres, it is common sense to approve the lot division.
Mark DeBettignies, 4125 153 Street, said if Cliff pays taxes on 80 acres, he should be allowed this
lot division.
Myron Napper, 3381 145 Street East, a Planning Commissioner, but representing only himself this
evening, recommended the approval of the Cliff land division.
MOTION by Edwards to close the Public Hearing for the Appeal of Denial for Land Division for
Richard Cliff. Second by Cisewski. Ayes: Five. Nays: None. Motion carried.

City Attorney LeFevere noted that the process for a minor subdivision, not a lot division, with a

The Council discussion showed that they were not opposed to the sale of the Cliff land, but they
were not comfortable with rounding to whole numbers to satisfy specific rules.

prepare findings of fact supporting the staff interpretation of the maximum density standards of the
Agriculture district specified in the zoning ordinance. Second by Cisewski. Ayes: Riley. Edwards,
Klassen, Cisewski, Busho. Nays: None. Motion carried.
PUBLIC HEARING: Application for Amendment to Off -Sale Liquor License Shenanigans
Off -Sale
City Clerk Jentink reviewed the application by Fritz Dolejs, the owner of Shenanigans on and off
sale liquor establishment at 14605 South Robert Trail. Dolejs has a new building at 15047 Crestone
Avenue to house the entire off -sale liquor business. This off -sale liquor business will be managed
by Sarah Dostle who currently manages both the off -sale and the on -sale liquor businesses in
Rosemount. The on-sale liquor business will continue at its present site, 14605 South Robert Trail.
Jentink noted that the new building is very attractive and that it will be a good addition to the
business district along County Road 42.
There were no public comments from the audience.
MOTION by Edwards to close the Public Hearing Application for Amendment to Off -Sale Liquor
License Shenanigans Off -Sale. Second by Klassen. Ayes: Five. Nays: None. Motion carried.
MOTION by Edwards to approve an amendment to the location of the Off -Sale Liquor License for
Shenanigans to 15047 Crestone Avenue begimring May 1, 2001 pending insurance and a Certificate
of Occupancy for the new building. Second by Klassen. Ayes: Edwards, Klassen, Cisewski, Busho,

City Administrator Burt reviewed the changes to the Selection Policy, Open Appointment
Application Form, Commission by -laws, and Port Authority changes by resolution as directed by
City Council at the April 3 `d meeting.
MOTION by Cisewski to approve changes to the Selection Policy, approve a Resolution Relating
to the Rosemount Port Authority Amending Resolution 1991 -53, and changes to all the
commission's by laws. Second by Klassen. Ayes: Klassen, Cisewski, Busho, Riley, Edwards. Nays:
None. Motion carried.

Amendment to City Code 7 -5, Bows and Firearms
Police Chief Kalstabakken asked Council to consider moving the hunting division line further east.
Hunting could endanger people if it is too near residential development. It is recommended to move
the line dividing hunting from non hunting areas to Akron Avenue. There are a few family rural
properties (Mclvlenomy's, north of CR 38) which desire to retain hunting to manage wildlife. They
are not near the new residential development but are on the west side of Akron Avenue. Council may
consider a special permit for these interested residents. It is also recommended that for target practice
a suitable backstop should be required as indicated in the Ordinance amendment. Council requested
community input from the Police Chief at the next meeting and a comparison to other communities.
No action was requested at this meeting. The second reading will be at a future meeting.
Facilitator Selection
Council Member Riley requested at the April 11 work session that an outside facilitator be hired
to build consensus and work on team building. Two names were recommended to City Administrator
Buri, Barbara Arne and Carl Nue, as facilitators. Klassen and Edwards did not agree that $4,000
should he spent for this. Klassen noted that four of the council members have been through Blandin
Institute training. which was very intensive. Riley would like to include staff since there are new staff
members as well. City Administrator Burt noted that most cities have a yearly meeting for goal
setting and team building. It is meant to be fun and encouraging. The consensus was to gather more
information and address this at a work session.
Mayor Busho adjourned the meeting at 11:13 p.m.

Item 6.c. Receive Plans Spec's /Authorize Ad for Bid for Evermoor 4 Addition Street and
Utility Improvements, Phase 2, City Project 333
Council Member Riley pulled this item believing that it should not move forward until the water
problems are solved for residents surrounding this development. Klassen agreed and added that all
building pennits should be held hack until other resident complaints are rectified. Klassen has had
complaints of construction vehicles using residential streets and feels that the AUAR suggestions
for erosion control are not being followed.
City Administrator Burt said this had been a topic at the work session in April and several changes
were implemented. City Engineer Weiss noted that two weeks ago the job and all contractors had
been removed from the site until compliance could he demonstrated. They have added 4,000 feet of
silt fence, a temporary dike is planned above Marcotte Pond, blockades have been placed across
residential streets so large machinery is restricted, and the streets are swept weekly. Evermoor 4
Addition is developed by D.R. Horton and the watershed does not go toward Marcotte Pond. The
forcemain needed for routine stormwater away from Marcotte Pond could be combined to this
project in order to expedite a solution. Klassen noted her concern was not just for Marcotte Pond,
but other urban residents as well. Weiss said that the big rainstorms of the summer of 2000 have
3

REGULAR MEETING
MAY 1, 2001
brought this issue to me fore. Rosemount is land locked, it needs to complete its storm water system
to allow the water to go somewhere. Development has pressed this need to complete the storm water
system. The planned seeding and sod for last fall was not successful due to the early winter. The
heavy snow caused lailure of many of the silt fences and the ponds became contaminated. Last
Friday Weiss had a walk through with the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency (MPCA). They were
encouraging and asked how they could help. No fines are recommended. The MPCA acknowledges
the seasons have made it difficult for developers. Because of the extra moisture in the ground. the
dike is not able to be completed now. Weiss has blocked with sandbags all water that mvouId llow
into Marcotte Pond to stabilize it. Seeding with rye grass is planned for next week to check water
runoff. When the forcemain and pump is in place the water will go to Schwarz Pond, which has
overflow run to Erickson Pond. Klassen presented Council with e -mail copies from the MPCA and
the DNR.
Dave Hemple, the on site Evermoor Manager, reviewed the action that they have taken to correct
many of these problems. The weather is a problem and the frost is just coming out of the ground.
Hemple stated he is willing to work with the City and MPCA.
Mayor Busho stated that the Utilities Commission has looked at the forcemain and would likely be
agreeable to it. Weiss noted that there are weekly construction meetings where issues can be
addressed and results monitored. Weiss also said that the pump required will take many months to
obtain and likely the storm water drainage system would not be workable until spring of 2002.
MOTION by Riley to adopt A RESOLUTION APPROVING THE PLANS AND
SPECIFICATIONS AND AUTHORIZING THE ADVERTISEMENT OF BIDS FOR
EVERMOOR 4 ADDITION STREET AND UTILITY IMPROVMENTS, PHASE 2, CITY

Cisewski removed her second. Discussion was held again. Second was made b Busho. Discussion
ensued. Cisewski noted she was not opposed to either part of the motion, however she felt it would
he better to have the Utility Commission consider this because of the project cost to the City. Busho
removed her second. Motion died due to lack of a second.

Ayes: Cisewski, Busho, Edwards, Klassen. Nays: Riley. Motion approved.
Cooperative Agreement for Dakota County Shop
City Administrator Burt explained that the agreement between Dakota County and the City of
Rosemount to provide city water and sewer will he paid for entirely by Dakota County. The City will
be allowed to purchase the County's salt/sand which will save the City from building a $100,000
storage facility which would have to meet MPCA's new standards for salt. The County facility
project should start this fall and take one year to complete. The City will be designing the project,
the County will hire a eontracter to complete the project.
Council Member Cisewski was concerned that the truck washing facility there would use Rosemount
sewer capacity. Burt said it would not, the sewer Clow will be attributed to Empire Township. which
Metropolitan Council will control.
Council Member Klassen stated she was against this project because of the 80 acre purchase the
County made. They will use only 40 acres for this project but it is uncertain what development might
happen in the future to the other 40 acres. Klassen was surprised at the policy change Metropolitan
Council made in approving this zoning amendment. Klassen said this was a huge policy price to have
to pay to receive sand and salt for the City.
Mayor Busho said she had concerns, but cooperation between the County and other agencies is
needed. Busho asked about the Rosemount businesses on 160 Street and if they had anv desire to
hook to the sanitary sewer'' Weiss noted he had not been contacted by anyone, but there was one
developable lot that will need it. A feasibility study would have to be done on extending Boulder
Avenue.
Council Member Edwards acknowledged that he and Klassen were not present at the work session
regarding the request from Dakota County for water and sewer. Edwards sees policy issues similar
to Northtield/Dundas all over again. Edwards was disappointed this hadn't been fully explored.
MOTION by Riley to adopt A RESOLUTION REQUESTING A COOPERATIVE

C'isewski, Busho. Nays: Edwards, Klassen. Motion carried.
Discussion ensued regarding the need for water use incorporated into the motion. Weiss explained
that City water is in 160 Street and would only require a simple permit in order to have the County
hook up to it.
Authorization for Condemnation for Easement on Thomas and Sharon Piekarski Property
Acting City Engineer Weiss presented a map showing a revision to the bike path, so that it would
jog around the Piekarski property except on the corner. A temporary easement will he needed to
provide the proper slope for the path way and a permanent easement on the corner. Piekarski
approached Weiss earlier to trade the right -of -way for not hooking up to the water stain. This would
not be an option because it is against City policy. Negotiation is possible at any time before the
condemnation is complete. Weiss apologized for the late notice Piekarski received of this meeting.
Most of the City Council was aware of the bike path changes and it was reviewed with the City
Administrator Burt. The assessment was increased because the street improvements were added in.
City policy would require Piekarski to hook up to water within two years. The Danville Street
improvements that may be added into this project are going to the Utilities Commission for review
May 7, 2001.
MOTION by Edwards to adopt A RESOLUTION AUTHORIZING ACQUISITON OF
EASEMENT BY EMINENT DOMAIN. Second by Cisewski. Ayes: Edwards. Klassen, Cisewski,
Riley. Nays: None. Present: Busho. Motion carried.
Stop Sign on Claret and 156 Street
Council Member Klassen would like to take action on the staff report which showed that warrants
direct that a stop sign is needed at Claret and 156 Street which only has a yield sign at this time.
It was also noted that a mature tree is in the sightline triangle and should be removed. Klassen
requested a neighborhood meeting to inform all those interested and then move forward with the
improvement.
MOTION by Edwards to direct staff to hold a neighborhood meeting to inform the neighbors about
the warrants, tree removal. and new stop sign. Second by Cisewski. Ayes: Edwards. Klassen,

REGULAR MEETING
MAY 1, 2001
Mayor Busho informed staff that she has been contacted by residents requesting stop signs at 151
Street/ Cimarron Ave. and Dodd Road/Shannon Pkwy. (a four -way stop). Busho asked staff to look
into these areas.
The Rosemount Business Council had delivered a letter to City Council last week requesting a
meeting where they could be heard. Council Member Riley requested a date from Council to set a
meeting to restore trust and repair bridges. Riley quoted from a League of Mitmesota Cities booklet,
"government should insure open government to encourage input from all affected." Mayor Busho
noted that adequate notice is needed to allow for the Open Meeting Laws. Busho reviewed how a
focus group starting in 1996 held many open houses at city hall. contacted business owners one on
one, and held many public meetings at Port Authority. Planning Commission, and City Council.
Council Member Edwards cautioned about special interest groups such as the City of Minneapolis
who was accused of favoritism by creating a special vehicle for a special group. All interested
citizens are welcome to attend public meetings. Council Member Cisewski and Klassen also thought
that the Business Council has had very many opportunities. Riley argued that the Business Council
felt they had not been heard and it would he respectful to meet with them to foster better relations
down the road
Council Member Cisewski noted that it's not that she has not heard the group, but the process has
moved forward and decisions have been made. There are future open meetings planned to review
the downtown streetscape after it is reviewed by MnDot and the Rosemount Business Council is
welcome to attend. No further action was taken.
Mayor Busho reviewed the up- coming meetings. Council Member Riley noted that Prayer for the
Nations will be held on May 3 5pnt to 9 p.m. at the High School. Busho will be attending a related
Prayer for the South Suburban Area in Burnsville May 3, at 6 p.m.

Hwy 3 Overlay Project, 145 Street to Lower 147 Street
Dave Hutton. consulting engineer from WSB, presented the proposed street lighting plans.
Hutton and staff recommended that there has been concern with the spacing of streetlights on the
first phase and presented a reconunendation to increase the spacing to an average of 125 to 150
feet. City Council liked the new spacing and directed staff to proceed with preparing the street
lighting plans at the recommended spacing. Staff also asked for Council direction on banner
arms, flag holders, plant hangers, irrigation and electrical outlets. Council consensus was to
include flagpole hangers and electrical outlets, banner arms will be ordered separately and there
will not be plant hangers.
Staff asked Council for direction on if pavers should be part of the second phase of the Highway
3 projects between 145 and Lower l47 h Streets. Council direction was to eliminate the pavers
and as part of Phase 2 to bid an alternate for the removal of the pavers in the first phase and
replace it with concrete.
Commercial Zoning Districts Amendments
Staff discussed a possible request by a church to become a conditional use in the C -4. General
Commercial District. Council members present were not in support of the request. In addition,
staff updated the Council on issues related to automobile sales established on the Evergreen
Gardens site. Council members present discussed the likelihood of this use becoming non-
conforming. Council then discussed specific revisions of the Commercial Zoning and the
Traditional Downtown Overlay Districts. Changes including: adding qualifying" language and
editing out several of the proposed uses from the Commercial Districts. Lowered maximum

held on Tuesday, May 15. 2001, at 7:30 p.m. in the Council Chambers at City Hall, 2875 145th
Street West.
Mayor Busho called the meeting to order with Council Members Klassen, Cisewski, Riley and
Edwards. Also in attendance were City .Administrator Burt, City Attorney LeFevere. Community
Development Director Parsons, City Planner Pearson. Police Chief Kalstabakken, Parks
Recreation Director Schultz, and Interim City Engineer and Public Works Director Weiss.
The meeting was opened with the Pledge of Allegiance. Additional information was presented to
Council. Item 6.e. included the hid results from Friday, May 11, 2001. An add -on was requested for
Response to Public Comment: Driveway Access for Ace Hardware.
Public Comment
Chuck Terry, owner of Ace Hardware, had concerns about the Commercial Zoning changes. One
change is limiting outdoor sales and display of merchandise. Terry asked for clarification of a
required yard and truck trailer parking. Terry explained that with a major promotion with a
demonstration trailer, it might be parked for one week, not 48 hours, as the regulations require.
Mayor Busho noted that this will be discussed on an Old Business item tonight.
Harry Willcox, 14674 Danville Avenue, suggested that the removal of Planning Commissioner Kim
Shoe Corrigan was a step backward by making commissions politically motivated again. Willcox
stated that a stop sign is needed on Dodd Avenue and Shannon Parkway near the Fire Station.
Willcox felt this was a very dangerous intersection.
Kenneth Marcotte, 12931 Shannon Parkway, was concerned about the water level on his property.
He requested that the city not move forward with any development in Evermoor until that water level
can be determined. A surveyor was hired by Marcotte which detennined that a 914 -foot level would
come up to the house foundation. Marcotte thought that a pump should he installed to keep the water
level down or his property will be destroyed. Interim City Engineer Weiss said that the Evermoor
4 Addition, Phase 2, does not drain to the pond next to the Marcotte home. Weiss noted that the
Marcotte land is the low spot of a watershed area. Delaying development there will not solve his
problem. Mayor Busho noted that the Utility Commission said to go ahead with the forcemain, but
the size of the pump hadn't been determined yet.
Response to Public Comment
City Attorney LeFevere read his letter in response to the letter regarding the accesses to Terry's Ace
Hardware. LeFevere noted that although the accesses are approved by Minnesota Department of
Transportation it does not exempt them from change from either MnDOT or the City in the interest
of public safety.

asked for some reductions in costs. Greg Stotko from AMCON Construction, the construction
manager for the project, related that there are several options which are incorporated into the bid
where a less expensive material can he chosen to lower costs. There is a terrazzo tile city logo that
could be eliminated and the concrete stairwell is very expensive to remove, it could be left in. The
consensus was to hold a work session to discuss alternatives.

Council Member Klassen requested that the entire development of Evermoor be delayed until the
Environmental AUAR can he enforced. Klassen believed that the AUAR. a guide for environmental
qualities of land, was not followed. Also Klassen requested that the Utilities Commission give its
recommendation to City Council regarding the forcemain. Mayor Busho noted that the Utilities
Commission did examine the forcemain issue and said to go ahead with it so that hose would not
have to be extended across streets and yards again with a flood event. The size of the pump would

be determined by the pipe elevation and friction of the pipe matched with the horsepower of the
pump and pipe size. Weiss noted concern for the size of the easement necessary which would add
to the cost. Weiss referred to a letter from Ken Marcottc's engineer which made conclusions on
incomplete information. Weiss also said the City is following the AUAR properly. The weather has
been extreme causing more erosion than anticipated. but corrective measures have been taken. Busho
and Riley supported approval of City Project 329.

this is not the lift station, only the pipe. The pump size will be considered at the next Utilities
Commission meeting. Ayes: Cisewski, Busho, Riley. Nays: Klassen. Present: Edwards. Motion
carried.
Council Member Riley requested a monthly report on the erosion issue. inspection results, and an
update. City Administrator Burt noted that a joint meeting of envirormmental agencies and city staff
and the developer will be held May 16 °i at City Hall. Minutes will be distributed from that meeting.
Cisewski requested that the sandbags keeping water away from the Marcotte Pond he left in place.
Staff agreed. Klassen asked if permits are required when moving water from one place to another
pond? Weiss was not aware of permit regulations but would ask about them at tomorrow's meeting.

REGULAR MEETING
MAY 15, 2001
Harry Willcox, 14674 Danville Avenue, asked that there be no change orders and that curb stops not
be allowed in the middle of driveways. Willcox asked if Danville residents are paying for the Dodd
Boulevard improvements? Weiss said assessment policy is being followed correctly.
Tom Piekarski, 14800 Dodd Boulevard,.asked if he will have to hook up to city water since he has
a good well? Staff replied, "Yes." Piekarski asked the amount of his costs? Staff estimated at
$10,000. City Attorney LeFevere noted Ordinance 1.12.h. Separation of Private Water and Sewer
System which would apply. LeFevere also mentioned that the Minnesota State Plumbing Code
requires hook up and the city's rules allow that to take place in two yews. Enforcement of this
requirement has not been a problem in the past.
Ivlr. Morley, 14540 Danville Avenue, remembered the pumping of Hawkins Pond last summer and
the inconvenience of hose and water running across his yard. Morley noted his garage slab has
shifted and wondered if it was caused by the additional water.
Mary Morley, 14540 Danville Avenue, asked that safety precautions be taken when digging takes
place. Her children and neighboring ones are curious and she worries about their safety during the
project.
Curt Travers, 14660 Danville Avenue, asked about access to their homes during the project. Weiss
said that they may have times during the day their driveways would be blocked, but access could be
assured every evening.
Jay Hunt, 4315 Upper 145 Street, had sewage backup in his basement last summer with the
pumping. He would like to think the City would be more cautious this time.
Leeord Valiska, 4385 Upper 145' Street, had questions about cost and assessment. Weiss
commented that a flat fee based on the number of driveways determines the assessment.

Commercial Zoning District Discussion
Solberg Aggregate Grading Plan Revision
ROSEMOUNT CITY PROCEEDINGS
REGULAR MEETING
MAY 15, 2001
City Planner Rick Pearson reported that the Planning Commission held a public hearing for the
updated Commercial Zoning Districts with a new traditional Downtown Overlay District. The
Planning Commissioners provided some suggestions that have been incorporated in the draft
ordinance amendments. City Council had many questions and decided to bring this to a work session
to clarify them.
MOTION by Edwards to table consideration of an ordinance amending the Commercial Zoning
districts. Second by Klassen. Ayes: Riley, Edwards. Klassen, Cisewski, Busho. Nays: None. Motion
carried.
City Planner Pearson presented Solberg Aggregate Company's request to modify their grading plan
as the mining operation lease with Koch Refining will be over in two years. The slope change is
going from 19-'0 to between 3% o and 4%. Council Member Klassen understood that the moratorium
did not allow any amendments. Pearson recalled Council did not want revisions with the renewal
process, so this is presented at this time. City Attorney LeFevere noted that the moratorium is an
interim measure to preserve the status quo, with a freeze imposed on new mining operations. but
existing uses are continued and grandfathered in.
Council Member Klassen excused herself from the meeting due to an early morning commitment.
Council Member Edwards felt this was semantics and a work session would help clear up confusion.
Council Member Cisewski remembered a February work session where mining was the focus.
Cisewski noted that minor changes should be coped with.

ROSEMOUNT CITY PROCEEDINGS
JOINT STAFF Environmental Agencies Meeting
May 16, 2001
Eric Kilberg of the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency organized a joint meeting on the report of
environmental impact from the Evermoor Development in north western Rosemount. It was held
May 16, 2001, at 2:30 p.m. in the Council Chambers at Rosemount City Hall, 2875 145th Street
West.
Those in attendance were: Bret Weiss, Interim City Public Works Director/Engineer of Rosemount,
City Administrator Tom Burt, Gene Amt of Arnt Construction, David Hempel, Contractor Property
Developers Co., Fran Hagen, H. Westwood Professional Service, Pat Lynch. Dept. of Natural
Resources Waters, Jon Larsen, MEQB, Steve Crawford. WSB Engineering, John Carlson,
Westwood Prof Service, Wayne Barstad, DNR Ecological Services, Mike Martindale, MPCA. Mike
Finlaff; MPCA -Metro Dist., Eric Kilberg, MPCA -Metro Dist., Jay Riggs, Dakota County Soil and
Water Conservation District. Introductions were made around the room.
Eric Kilberg, MPCA, stated the goal of this meeting was to protect natural resources. The site being
considered is the 500 acre Kelley Farm development "Evermoor" by Contractor Property Developers
Co. which had an AUAR, Alternative Urban Area Wide review completed on it in March, 2000.
There have been some enforcement issues related to this site as required by the AUAR and this
meeting is for fact finding and correction of these issues.
Mike Martendale and Mike Finlaff MPCA, reviewed this inspection of the site on April 27, 2001.
There were violations and a meeting was held with the City of Rosemount. Martendale came hack
the following Monday and many of the violations had already been corrected; yet there was still more
work to do. Photographs were taken for evidence. The MPCA review hoard, the Forum, directed a
10 day letter be sent out on May 9, 2001. This letter mentions most of the infractions including those
which had already been corrected, and there were ten days to reply. Enforcement could further
involve an Administrative Penalty Order or Stipulation Agreement, especially if there are any repeat
violations.
Interim City P.W./Engineer Weiss questioned why the letter of May 9, 2001 did not reference work
that had been completed previously and did not mention the actions already taken by the City and
the developer to comply with regulations. Martendale noted that is normal procedure to identify the
original issues and that a final action response letter would note a favorable response because of the
corrections made.
Pat Lynch, DNR, inspected the site recently and found some silt fence down, but noted a world of
difference with the added silt fencing and straw mulching. Birger Pond and Wetland 223, located
west of Marcotte are DNR basins. It appears that 223 was connected to the Marcotte Pond. Lynch
noted that much suspended material was found in both water basins. An assessment will he done
later on the water quality and sediment in each of the DNR basins to determine if corrective action
is necessary. The Ivlarcotte Pond is not under the MPCA jurisdiction or DNR.
Mine Finlaff, MPCA, said that the sediment in Marcotte Pond would need to be reclaimed. Interim
City P1 "Engineer Weiss said that the city planned to excavate the wetland on the south end. Weiss
also noted that the DNR pond 223 did not receive sediment from the Evermoor development but that
1
1
ROSEMOUNT CITY PROCEEDINGS
JOINT STAFF Environmental Agencies Meeting
May 16, 2001
the City pumped some water from the Marcotte pond into 223. It was further noted that the
lvlarcottes did continue to pump this pond, with city equipment, for two days more without city
permission. Pat Lynch, DNR, said that when ever 10,000 gallons per day are moved a water
appropriations permit is needed, for both the city and residents. Weiss admitted he was at fault for
not recognizing a permit was needed for emergencies and asked to meet after this meeting to define
the requirements.
Pat Lynch, DNR. noted the City's Wetland Plan had listed Wetland 223 with the highest ranking for
preservation. Yet, what have they done to protect it? Birger Pond is ranked low because of its water
quality.
Dave Hempel, CPDC, noted that the weather has played a major role in the violations reported. The
winter was the harshest in ten years and the spring the wettest. Large earth moving equipment has
only been able to he out April 20 to May 4th Gene Amt, Amt Construction, gave the following
report of repairs to date completed at a cost of $100,000:
Date Feet of New Silt Fence Hay Bales
4 -10 -01 900
4 -12 200
4 -20 1500 30
4 -23 650 70
5 -1 1500
5 -2 700 70
5 -3 875
5 -4 70
5 -5 28 acres were seeded
Eric Kilberg, MPCA, said his reaction to this is good. Hempel requested that the MPCA please
consider the hard winter and the heavy spring rains into their findings. Kilberg also said, "The road
to hell is paved with good intentions."
Jay Riggs, Dakota SWCD, noted that erosion and sediment control need to be followed closely.
Cover, seeding, any steep slopes need to have them. Riggs noted that some of the silt fencing is not
to specs and needs upgrading.
Fran Hagen, II, Westwood Engineering, explained that last fall the seeding was left to late October.
Rain prevented seeding and then snow came November 3 so the grading was shut down. The
southern half had been seeded but not the northern portion. Riggs said this ground stabilizing needs
to be re- thought by developers so as not to leave it to the last thing. Hampel noted a channel dug for
drainage, which he did not authorize to a wetland. Hampel did not know who dug the channel. This
was diverted away from the wetland. Jay Riggs said that the west pond that had the channel diverting
water to it was not a DNR wetland.

ROSEMOUNT CITY PROCEEDINGS
JOINT STAFF Environmental Agencies Meeting
May 16, 2001
Jon Larsen, MEQB, was in charge of approving the AUAR report for this site. The issue is the
inconsistency with the performance versus what was planned in the AUAR. When a project is
completed, there is a final expectation, but also during the construction of a project. there are
measures that need implementing. And now, the timing of that implementing versus what was
actually done. We want to avoid any envirotunental impact. The AUAR includes specific options,
physical, legal, and financial measures to protect the land, water. and nature. If this doesn't match
what is in the AUAR. an amendment is called for. This is the same lengthy process as the original
AUAR approval.
Interim City P.W. %Engineer Bret Weiss said the Rosemount is land locked from a stormwater
perspective. There is no water leaving Rosemount. Of all of the cities in the area, Rosemount is
currently the best at dealing with stormwater and because no stormwater is discharged outside the
city. All the water in Rosemount is absorbed hack to the ground water. The heavy rains of the
summer of 2000 started a sequence of drainage problems and exposed the lack of positive outlets
within the city. This is not a good situation for Rosemount now. All our basins need alternate
drainage options which cost S500,000 and greater to solve. The project to install a forcemain and lift
station pump at Marcotte Pond will not be completed until spring of 2002. Hawkins Pond is being
done this summer. The Marcotte Pond level did go up last summer, before grading of Evermoor and
again this spring. Sandbagging was done to prevent any runoff from east of Shannon Parkway. But
the Marcotte Pond is the lowest point and water from the northern 107 acres and directly west also
drains that direction. Fran Hagen said that there are about five acres from the Evermoor area that
drains to the Marcotte Pond compared to an original ten acres. Weis did state that area from the east
side of Shannon Parkway also drains to Marcotte Pond, but is currently bulkheaded. The city planned
an outlet for Marcotte Pond but was hoping to delay the implementation. The rains in 2000 and 2001
have caused the city to move that schedule up. Fran Hagen, Westwood Professional Service said
aerial photos show very little water in the Marcotte Pond in 1990. It wasn't normally wet. Also, last
year the Water Resource Engineer walked all of the silt fence before winter and found it to be in
place. The Wetland Plan of Rosemount is the model used as the hest example by MPCA.
Wayne Barstad, DNR Ecological Services, noted that references to other documents in the AUAR
made it difficult to interpret. He requested in the future there would he less references and more
detail. Barstad asked if the Blanding turtle review had been done as referenced in the report? No one
was aware of that study being completed. John Carlson stated that information was given to the
contractors in 2000 to identify the turtles as required by the AUAR.
Eric Kilberg, MPCA, asked about the final draft date of the AUAR. Feb. or March of 2000?
Consensus was that the drafts were the same. A copy of the March 2000 AUAR report will be sent
to his office.
Jay Riggs, Dakota SWCD, invited the City and the developer to work closely with his office. Riggs
asked if an amendment to the AUAR is needed, would this close down the developer? Jon Larsen,
MEQB, said he didn't think so. Weiss asked why the City of Apple Valley has not been invited to
this and other meetings? There is a portion of Evermoor in Apple Valley which also has erosion
problems. This was an oversight.
1
Eric Kilberg, MPCA, noted his real concern was for the Waste Water Treatment Plant and
Metropolitan Waste Controls projects. There are implications on the draft Findings of Fact for the
Rosemount Interim Improvements EAW currently in progress. If the level of Birger Pond is up. that
is significant environment effect. He doesn't want this issue to cause this EAW to move into an EIS
and he needed some help to address the controls the city has in place. The city and agencies need to
show how to anticipate disasters and have plans to make effective improvements. This can be done
with ordinances and controls. Burt was asked to prepare a letter showing the proactive issues that
have and will take place.
Rosemount City Administrator Tom Burt noted that Rosemount has made ordinance changes.
Developers no longer do their own streets and utilities, the city now controls this. A new Water
Resource Engineer has been hired to begin on Monday, May 21, 2001. The developer's contractors
were effectively shut down on April 27' because of silt fence violations at which the Rosemount
Police Department was present to show the importance of the issue.
Jon Larsen, MEQB, noted that the AUAR comes in all sizes and shapes, it is flexible to fit the
project. There is a hoard that considers the review and reform of it and the comments made here
today will be retlected back to that hoard.
Dave Hempel said they would welcome in put from the Dakota SWCD and they will continue to do
all they can to get in the seeding and restoration to the land.
Eric Kilberg, MPCA, noted that the Enforcement Forum is not open to the public, but the response
will come by letter.
The meeting was adjourned at 3:50 p.m.

Amendment to City Code 7 -5, Bows and Firearms
Police Chief Kalstabakken presented an amendment to City Code 7 -5. with a choice of having
exceptions allowing restricted hunting on 60 acre agricultural zoned lots that are west of Akron
Avenue. There are five landowners with 60 acres who are interested in continuing hunting on their
property. No rifles would be permitted or any slug type bullet from a shotgun to help insure that the
projectiles would not leave the property. It is illegal to hunt within 500 from any homes adjacent
to these properties. These exception areas would not be renewed when residential development
1

JUNE 5, 2001
occurred reducing the parcels to smaller than 60 acres. Police Chief Kalstabakken noted that it is
difficult to police hunting when not close to roads, so it is up to the integrity of the hunters to abide
by all laws. Most often investigation takes place on a complaint response. City Attorney LeFevere
noted that City Council has the right to regulate firearms such as a special permit if the Department
of Natural Resources called for animal management which is usually on park property. If this was
requested it would likely only be for bow and arrow use. LeFevere noted that the southern third of
Minnesota is a slug zone allowing their use for deer only.
Council Member Edwards did not like mixing housing with hunting. Council Member Klassen saw
the exception parcels as clouding the current dividing line of Akron Avenue and making it harder
to enforce, but especially she did not want to jeopardize the safety of the residents. Cisewski also did
not want risk the safety of residents living close to the exception parcels.

Amendments to the 2001 Fee Policy and Farmer's Market Information
Parks and Recreation Director Schultz presented changes to room use and public skating fees. The
demand has been growing for free meeting space once per month for organizations. Staff suggests
that only Rosemount residents would he allowed free space as defined which excludes prince time.
Also the definition of city groups was recommended to be changed by removing the Miss Rosemount
Scholarship Pageant (which is no longer being held) and add the Rosemount Fanners Market.
Schultz held a meeting with Rosemount residents. Council Member Riley. and the St. Paul Growers
Association who regulates the quality, quantity, and variety of product for farmer's markets. Schultz
emphasized that a tanners market would benefit the residents but it would be a profit- making venture
for the vendors. City Attorney LeFevere noted it would not be proper for the City to sponsor the
event. but could consider the St. Paul Growers Association as a service provider. The St. Paul
Growers Association would run the farmers market entirely. It was agreed not to include the
Farmers' Market in the 2001 Fee Policy. but that it seemed to he a good thing for Rosemount and
that further discussions continue in order to bring a Farmers' Market to Rosemount.
MOTION by Edwards to approve the attached amendments to the Parks and Recreation portion of

Commercial Zoning District
City Manner Pearson presented
Further discussion of the Commercial Districts resulted in the following direction to staff:
1. The purpose and intent paragraph will include the following language:
"The district is intended to he compatible within a residential neighborhood
context. Therefore, the number of permitted uses is limited and the scale of uses
is comparatively small."
2. All neighborhood retail, office and personal service will he limited to 2,500 sq. ft.
for consistency.
3. Maximum heights for exterior lighting will be limited to 20 fi. for C -1 and C -2.
C -3 and C-4 now limited to 30 fi. heights will have the following additional
language: "The maximum height for exterior lighting within 100 feet of a

time if Brockway Golf Club will be a willing partner. Staff was contacted a few years ago by

Keegan Lake which would supply some relief to neighbors from the high water levels.

and staff agreed to.

ROSEMOUNT CITY PROCEEDINGS
REGULAR MEETING
NNE 18, 2001
Interim City Engineer Weiss noted that the subdivision agreements are now the standard model used
requiring payment for infrastructure prior to development. Evennoor 7 Addition does discharge into
the Marcotte Pond but at present it is sandbagged to prevent that. Evermoor 6' Addition drains away
from the Marcotte Pond.
Council Member Klassen noted that she had stated that she would not approve any development at
Evermoor until the AUAR compliance is met and erosion concerns are mitigated. The City held a
joint meeting with environmental agencies on May 16, which then referred the developers of
Evermoor to a MPCA Board Forum for action on the violations. A stipulation agreement, with a
minimum tine of $7.500 is being negotiated. Mike Martindale from the MPCA has inspected the
Evermoor site and said that they have gone above and beyond the requirements for erosion control.
An inspection report was submitted showing all areas have been corrected and Martindale said they
would be using Evennoor for educating other developers on the right way to install erosion control
measures. Klassen asked about the endangered Blanding turtles noted in the AUAR. City
Administrator Burt said that hand outs had gone to all contractors on the job stating they must check
for Blanding turtles before they back fill and that their habitat trust be restored following
development. Klassen asked about sediment removal from all of the ponds. Burt said the DNR will
help identify the amount that needs to be removed. The City has also entered into an agreement with
Dakota County Soil and Water Conservation Dept. to review the site for erosion and water quality.
Weiss said permits with the DNR will be applied for when the lift station is to be installed. Klassen
thanked staff for working with the environmental agencies and correcting erosion problems. Klassen
was now willing to support action for the development of Evemoor.
MOTION by Cisewski to adopt A RESOLUTION APPROVING THE FINAL PLAT FOR
EVERMOOR 6 141 ADDITION. Second by Edwards. Ayes: Riley, Edwards, Klassen. Cisewski,
Busho. Nays: None. Motion carried.

REGULAR MEETING
JUNE 18, 2001
Bloomfield Addition Preliminary Plat and Rezoning, Phase 2
City Planner Pearson presented the Preliminary Plat for Bloomfield, applied for by Steve Ach of
Centex Homes. The development includes 76 carriage homes and 244 single family homes. Ten
variances have been eliminated leaving only two variances for corner lots, which are 95' wide rather
than 120'. The street width for one collector street w ithin the development. Auburn Path, is
requested to he 70' wide with easements having 41' of pavement rather than the normal 36' width.
The boulevard easement would be 6',i feet wide rather than 8 feet wide. Weiss noted that 74' wide
streets would be better, but all though this street is slightly smaller the City gains by having better
lot sizes. The main street, Bloomfield Path remains 80' wide. These two streets Auburn and
Bloomfield, will have the only access to County Road 42. Weiss noted that there is no parking on
these streets and that three painted lanes would be possible if needed in the future. Cisewski noted
that these streets will lead to the over -grade railroad crossing which some residents may choose to
use to go around the train when the 145 Street West railroad crossing arms are down. Edwards
noted he was not in favor of the narrow street width.
A memo from Bret Weiss, Interim City Engineer, dated May 31, 2001, listed concerns about the
Bloomfield Development. Storm sewer rear yard catch basins are still shown on the plan, but with
revision to the housing style these could be eliminated. The final plat will show revisions to many
of these concerns. Mayor Busho recalled Carrollton 2 Addition which had rear yard catch basins
which had to be corrected by the City. This should not be repeated. Centex wished to have holding
ponds with standing water, but staff wishes to have dry ponds that allow storm water to seep into the
ground water. Compromises will be worked out. Revisions to the resolution's item 2. would read
in part. "eliminate 10 lot dimension variances and allow lots 13 and 20, Block 3 variances." and add
item 11. Street C and the north side of Street B in Blocks 12 and 13, the carriage home area.
MOTION by Riley to adopt A RESOLUTION APPROVING THE BLOOMFIELD ADDITION
PRELIMINMARY PLAT for Centex Homes incorporating changes from the discussion this
evening. Second by Busho. Ayes: Riley, Edwards, Klassen, Cisewski, Busho. Nays: None. Motion
carried.
MOTION by Cisewski to adopt AN ORDINANCE REZONING BLOCKS 12 13 (Carriage
Hones) to R Moderate Density Residential. Second by Riley. Ayes: Edwards, Klassen,
Cisewski, Busho. Riley. Nays: None. Motion carried.
Receive Bids /Award Contract for 2001 Street Utility Reconstruction Improvements, City
Project 326
Interim City Engineer Weiss received the bids for City Project 326. The bids were slightly higher
than the estimate which seems to be due to the wet weather conditions and the high number of
construction projects. Arcon Construction. Inc. was the low bidder in the amount of $1,177,255,
about S30.000 over the estimate. Weiss noted that the work is needed and recommended moving
ahead with the project.

MOTION by Edwards to adopt A RESOLUTION RECEIVING BIDS AND AWARDING THE
CONTRACT FOR 2001 STREET AND UTILITY RECONSTRUCTION IMPROVEMENTS,
CITY PROJECT 326. Second by Riley. Ayes: Klassen, Cisewski, Busho, Riley. Edwards. Nays:
None. Motion carried.
Lot Combination 12050 Barcardi Avenue, Joe Altendorfer
City Planner Pearson presented this as a "housekeeping" item that solves an access problem for Joe
Altendorfer. Altendorfer owns 13.4 acres east of Bacardi Avenue. When Bacardi Avenue was
constructed there was a sliver of land that was owned by Earl Bester which abutted Altendorfer's
land causing no access on the west side of Altendorfer's property. By combining this sliver of land
a non conforming access issue will be averted.
MOTION by Klassen to adopt A RESOLUTION APPROVING THE COMBINATION OF
LAND REQUESTED BY JOSEPH ALTENDORFER and Earl Bester. Second by Edwards.
Ayes: Cisewski, Busho. Riley, Edwards, Klassen. Nays: None. Motion carried.
Rosewood Mixed Use Concept PUD; Progress Land Company
Council Member Edwards made a point of inquiry since Klassen had requested this be brought to
a work session due to information she received at a Planning Commission meeting. Klassen
indicated this would involve policy review. Mayor Busho suggested tabling the action. City Planner
Pearson reminded Council about the 60 day rule and that an extension would he necessary in July.
MOTION by Klassen to table the Rosew000d Mixed Use Concept PUD for Progress Land
Company. Second by Cisewski. Ayes: Edwards, Klassen, Cisewski. Nays: Busho, Riley. Motion
carried.
Conditional Use Permit: Darrin Johnson and Lesley Johnson
Planning Intern Aaron Jones presented an application for a Conditional Use Permit for a paintball
business by Darin Johnson and Lesley Johnson. The parcel is 28 acres which is zoned Agricultural
east of C.F. Industry on Pine Bend Trail. A public hearing was held at the Planing Commission
where two neighbors who spoke against this use because of the noise that would disturb their horse
training and breeding businesses.
Darrin Johnson gave an overview of the expected use of the land. The paintball games would he by
reservation only for 10 to 18 people. They would be on the land for about 3 hours. Johnson noted
that only a small area would be used and that 300 feet around the border would be roped off as a
buffer area. The guns would be air powered with a noise like a pop rather than like a shot. No air
horns would be used. No buildings would be needed as all supplies are trucked in with each
reservation.

REGULAR MEETING
JUNE 18, 2001
Pearson confirmed that because this is a non conforming use a 4 /5ths vote would be needed for
approval. If this is not reached then findings of fact for denial should be prepared. City Attorney Cole
noted that a property owner has the right to make some use of his property. The findings should
indicate reasonable basis for the decision, why use amounts to a nuisance, or if it is incompatible
with the surrounding area.
MOTION by Klassen to direct staff to prepare findings of' facts for denial of the Conditional Use
Pennit for Darrin Johnson and Lesley Johnson. Second by Cisewski. Ayes: Riley, Edwards, Klassen,
Cisewski, Busho. Nays: None. Motion carried.
